There were more than a dozen soldiers in this group, wearing clothes that had been turned into strips. They were covered in blood. Only four of them had guns. The others were empty-handed and some of their shoes were lost. They happened to be with Xia Yuan.
The defeated soldiers came face-to-face with their ambush position.
This group of people were startled when they saw a team hidden in the dark forest. They were grabbed by Mi Long, Yao Ma and others and covered their mouths and noses. Long Wenwen made a silencing gesture to them.
Soon, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers ran over. They were not prepared at all for the broken soldiers who were ambushing here. They did not even think that there would be broken soldiers ambushing here. They ran over, and fierce gunfire suddenly rang out.
, the Japanese soldier who was caught off guard was pierced by bullets one after another. He twitched several times as if he was electrocuted, and fell to the ground without making a sound.
Xia Yuan signaled them to let go of the defeated troops and asked: "Why are you being chased by the Japanese in such a panic?"
"The Japs scattered our troops. There were broken troops and pursuing Japs everywhere. We could only run forward. Unexpectedly, we met such a group of Japs halfway. Originally, there were more than thirty of us.
, a dozen of them were beaten to death, and we were the only ones left."
"We didn't even know the direction. We were lost in the jungle. We met many Japanese soldiers. We fought with them, but we couldn't. We also met many people like us along the way. They joined us and our team was
We were broken up and strengthened in battle after battle. We couldn't escape because the Japanese were everywhere."
Their voices were a little heavy, with endless bitterness. They were hiding here and there along the way. They were like a group of mice that had lost their direction and goal. They were not even as good as mice. They drank dew to quench their thirst and ate weeds to satisfy their hunger every day. Fortunately,
I was unlucky enough to find one of my own, and when I opened a patch of grass, I met the Japanese, and they were met with a barrage of bullets.
Sometimes when advancing in the forest, you will encounter Japanese ambush, which will cause heavy casualties. Some unlucky ones will fall into the traps dug by the Burmese people, and their lives will be worse than death.
The defeated soldiers talked about the suffering they had suffered these days. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of dying in a confused way, which was unacceptable to them. Listening to their stories, there was a gurgling sound in their ears.
At the sound of the sound, one of the defeated soldiers used his belt to tighten his stomach tightly.
Kaname asked: "What is this for?"
The defeated soldier said: "Tighten it tightly so that you won't feel hungry."
Xia Yuan said to Meng Fan: "Bring some cans and let your brother try them."
The defeated soldiers said no, but after Meng Fanfan took out the canned British food, they kept swallowing their saliva, with a look of longing in their eyes.
Long Wenwen said: "Hurry up and take it. When you are full, you can fight with the little devil!"
Only then did the defeated soldiers put the cans away and ate them hungrily, making a sound like pigs eating. They stuffed the meat in the cans into their mouths, chewed them, and drank all the soup inside.
After they drank it, not a drop was left. They licked the jar clean with their tongues and made sure that everything was gone before throwing it away.
Veterinarian Hao said: "They are really starving."
Ayi said: "We were starving when we were at the shelter. Do you remember eating vermicelli stewed with cabbage and pork?"
The sight of these defeated soldiers eating canned food took Meng Nuo and them back to the days when they ate cabbage, pork and vermicelli stew with others in the shelter. Those days were the happiest days for old cannon fodder like them.
.
More than a dozen defeated soldiers joined the slightly defeated Sichuan Army. In Myanmar, where there were defeated soldiers everywhere, a team like the Sichuan Army was already considered a very impressive team among the defeated soldiers.
After collecting the guns and ammunition from the Japanese corpses, the Sichuan regiment continued to set off.
In Myanmar in the evening, after the sun set in the west, there was a slight chill. Meng Fanglia looked around and said: "I slept in the warehouse last night, and I slept on the street again tonight."
Bu La corrected him: "Where is sleeping on the street, this is obviously sleeping in the woods."
On the other side, Yaoma and Milong were quarreling because of the cries of birds and animals around them. For the defeated soldiers, this was a new thing. People from Sichuan and Northeast China would quarrel because of the cries of birds and animals.
"The owl is hooting and counting the eyebrows of the Northeastern guy. When it counts them clearly, you, Guawazi, will go back to your hometown."
Since the Myanmar-Burma War broke out and the defeated soldiers came to Myanmar, they found that Milong, a Northeastern guy, was different from before, and Yaomaya dared to provoke Milong.
Mi Long said with great disdain: "Blow it, you will die if you blow it. There are more night owls in my hometown than old hens, and even the bigger mice in my family can eat you. I also have a big blind bear in my family. I will treat you as a little Southerner when I see you."
Sit on the bench, you just squeak and it's over, I'll roll you up with green onions."
Yaoma refused to give up, and then challenged: "My hometown..."
The defeated soldiers went up the mountain. There was a road with steep slopes on both sides. The steep slopes were covered with airtight vegetation and layers of wall-like trees. The terrain was high on both sides and low in the middle. They were walking in the middle.
In the ditch, they were advancing in column.
Qianjin was not able to control the mouths of Yaoma and Milong. The two were still arguing about the chirping of birds and beasts. Yaoma tilted his head and pointed in the direction of the birdsong and said: "There is a hammer in your hometown. My hometown
There is a big savage who looks just like you when his hair is shaved. Do you have this bird in your hometown? What is it called?"
The bird that called happened to be a bird unique to the south. Milong was immediately choked up. He had never heard such a bird call before, so he asked: "... Hanhaozi."
Kaname didn't know what Han Haozi was, but his purpose was that whatever Milong said was wrong, "Han Haozi?" He followed the bird and called: "Guo Gong, Guo Gong?"
Milong continued to guess hesitantly: "Flying dragon bird?..."
Kaname said: "What's the name?"
Meng Fanglia interrupted Milong's guessing train of thought: "The flying dragon bird has come to Burma? Milong, have you put your Daxinganling in your bag?"
When the dragon was scratching its ears and cheeks, the birds in the dense forest on the steep slope in front began to respond, with the same tone as Kaname: "Guo Gong, Guo Gong?"
Kaname was surprised and happy: "This bird is sensible, Mr. Guo Guo Guo!"
The bird also calls: "Guo Guo Guo Gong."
There was a small open space on the road in front of the rout. The sound of birds came from the steep slope above. Hearing the response of the birds, he got excited. He left the army and stepped forward, showing off the birds he had just learned to the forest.
language
"Something's wrong!" Xia Yuan frowned, grabbing Yao Ma who was just sitting there watching and about to scream. The defeated soldiers were stunned for a moment.
Xia Yuan said to Yaoma: "Your name is..."
Kaoma didn't know why, so he showed off the bird language he had just learned: "Mr. Guo, Gong Guo... Gong Guo..."
"Baga!"
The defeated soldiers looked at the bushes on the steep slope and made a noise, revealing a man whose body was covered with branches and leaves. Under the helmet covered with branches and leaves, a Japanese-style surprised and angry face appeared.
The defeated soldiers were shocked, and Kaname was even more stunned on the spot. This was not a bird, he was clearly a Japanese soldier.
Just as the defeated soldiers stared at each other in silence for several seconds, there was a sound of gunfire and bullets whizzed through the forest, penetrating the helmet on the head of the Japanese soldier covered with branches and leaves with a clang, and a crisp sound spread through the forest.
Open, when the Japanese soldier saw the defeated soldiers, he originally wanted to hide in his jungle, but he never expected Xia Yuan's reaction speed to be so fast. The bullet penetrated his helmet and fell heavily to the ground.
His feet slipped and he rolled down the hillside.
The moment the gunfire rang out, the defeated soldiers also reacted and hid in all directions. Xia Yuan fell on Yaoma and shouted: "Shoot!"
At the same time, the heads of Japanese soldiers were exposed on the hillside, followed by the sound of Japanese machine guns coming from the dense forest. The bullets penetrated the forest and shot on the tree trunks in front of the defeated soldiers, making a dull sound.
.
Milong fell to the ground and opened the machine gun's tripod. Meng Fanlie and others began to shoot blindly. Doubian hurriedly picked up the magazine that had fallen to the ground. The Japanese devils' tongues of fire tilted down almost vertically, pouring on the collapsed ground.
Surrounded by the soldiers, Doubiang shouted: "I want Brother Ma."
"Hurry up and fight back!" Xia Yuan grabbed Kaname, took him off, slapped Kaname's pale face hard, raised his gun and aimed it at the Japanese machine gunner, then pulled the trigger, and the bullet came out of the chamber and penetrated the dense forest before disappearing.
There was no trace of them, and the Japanese machine guns stopped firing.
Yao was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat, straightened his helmet, and lay on the ground to fight back at the Japanese.
"Li Wula, take the people and cover them from the flank!" Xia Yuan shouted without looking back. Li Wula was one of the few platoon leaders among the defeated soldiers who still retained the ability to command. If it hadn't been for years of defeats,
He had lost confidence. It was estimated that he might grow even higher in the future. Li Wula shouted, but there was no reply from around him.
Long Wenwen ran over from the end of the queue, grabbed Li Wula, and patted the person he thought could be used. Bu La stretched his neck hoping to be ranked, but he happened to miss him.
Bu La was stunned for a second: "Why isn't there me?"
Looking at the team following Long Wenwen as they weaved towards the flanks, they followed behind regardless of whether they were hot or not.
The defeated soldiers had heard that the Japanese liked to climb trees and used the chirping of birds and apes as communication. They hid among hundreds or thousands of airtight towering trees. Three or four people were entrenched in a tree, facing several people.
Hundreds of fleeing people were shooting. The fleeing people had no time to search and could only hold their foreheads to bear the bullets fired from the trees. Now the defeated soldiers suffered such a violent blow.
The bullets shot down from the top of the slope and from the tree trunks, and hit the soil in front of the defeated soldiers, causing the soil to splash high.
"Take cover, take cover!"
Seeing that the defeated soldiers were no match for the Japanese, Xia Yuan asked the defeated soldiers to disperse, hide, and conserve their strength, waiting for the flanking troops led by Long Wenwen to detour back to the Japanese flanks and unite the flanks to attack the Japanese on the mountain.
Launch an attack.
There were Japanese soldiers everywhere, and bullets were fired from all directions, some from the heads of the defeated soldiers, and some from the hillside in front. At this moment, the defeated soldiers hiding in the mountain col seemed to have been surrounded.
Their qualities were suddenly revealed. Some people fought back, while others ran away without looking back.
This is the current situation of the defeated troops. Even if a regiment is really raised, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of a platoon or even a squad of volunteers.
Facing the ambush of the Japanese, the combat effectiveness of nearly a battalion of broken soldiers was very weak. Long Wenwen led a group of broken soldiers to bypass the flanks of the Japanese in the mountains and forests. Their speed was very fast, and any delay was impossible.
Any behavior will affect the direction of the war and lead to the sacrifice of more people.
On the front, Xia Yuan led the old soldiers to fight back against the Japanese army. He controlled the Type 38 rifle, kept pulling the bolt, aimed and fired, and shot down all the Japanese soldiers hiding in the trees. He arranged for the soldiers to fight back against the Japanese army.
, to buy time for Long Wenwen, but there were very few broken troops that could actually be mobilized, because he saw many broken troops fleeing before the battle, and these broken troops were basically newly joined soldiers who had never experienced an airport battle.
of defeated troops.
If one person turns around and runs away, four or five people will follow him, and more people will be swept away.
The only ones who really stayed to fight were those who came out of the airport. They fought back against the Japanese troops fairly well, but they still suffered heavy casualties.
This scene made Xia Yuan feel pain in his heart. Leading troops to fight cannot be achieved by just talking. The ideological work used to solve the problem of soldiers in Shangganling has no obvious effect on this group of defeated soldiers. For those who have suffered defeat,
As far as our defeated troops are concerned, the effort in words is far less than the reality. What they want is your actions, not your words.
There is still a big gap between this and Shangganling.
This is also the reason why Long Wenwen is more popular among the defeated soldiers than Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan experienced the battle of Shangganling. The bond between him and his comrades is something that these defeated soldiers have never experienced, and Xia Yuan will not understand it either.
Seeing what this group of defeated soldiers relied on, maybe he should have figured out a long time ago that a meal of cabbage, pork and vermicelli stew can tie a group of defeated soldiers together. This is why the old defeated soldiers like Xia Yuan, and the new defeated soldiers like
Long Wenwen, Long Wenwen relied on his charisma to conquer new soldiers, and Xia Yuan conquered old soldiers with a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli.
However, Xia Yuan led the old defeated soldiers to fight back, and his refusal to retreat still aroused the inner hope of many retreating defeated soldiers. They turned their heads again and fought back at the Japanese army deep in the dense forest from a distance. The sound of gunfire echoed in the valley.
The reverberation spread, and the sound one after another spread far and wide.
Xia Yuan continuously pulled the trigger, sending bullets into the Japanese soldiers one by one. There were obstacles and branches everywhere in the dense forest. It was easy to be affected by throwing grenades, and the wood chips broken by the grenades were everywhere.
Splashing would hurt one's own people. The Japanese knew this, and the defeated soldiers also knew that they only used firearms to shoot and never threw grenades.
