The scholar raised his head, with bloodshot eyes, "Brother Xia, why did they kill the squad leader? Why did they detain us and take away our things?"
Xia Yuan thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a general idea. The scholar used the grenade to save these people, but these people actually detained them directly. Did they really regard them as deserters? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were wearing Japanese-style equipment.
, you can see that this is simply impossible.
They eliminated many Japanese soldiers. If it were not to support this group of people, they would not be waiting for them there at all. They even asked Platoon Leader Zhao and Zheng Dayong to block the retreat path of the Japanese soldiers with light machine guns.
After thinking about it, Xia Yuan had no clue. He only thought that the national army was too chaotic. The level of chaos was so high that people were beaten to death and boiled into human soup. The commander asked other soldiers to drink the human soup, and the soldiers were beaten with sticks.
It is the most basic, and poisoning often occurs.
But Xia Yuan never expected to kill brother Paoze who was reinforcing him on the battlefield.
Platoon leader Zhao said: "Grandma, it must be those Japanese equipment and grenade launchers. If you kill the Japanese, you can get rewards later. We have killed so many Japanese, and all the guys on us are Japanese."
Yes, when they see it, they will definitely take away our things, especially the scholar's grenade, which is a good thing."
The scholar raised his head and murmured: "Platoon leader, it must be what you said, they just want to steal our things."
Platoon Leader Zhao slapped his hands and said: "These idiots, in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, they killed you without proof. Even if your bodies are found, they will only think that you died on the battlefield."
Platoon Leader Zhao sighed and said: "I have pity on my brother. He escaped from death several times and did not die under the enemy's gunfire. He actually died in the hands of his own people. What a wimp."
As he thought about it, he became more and more angry. He punched the ground hard and sighed helplessly.
Xia Yuan bit into a piece of biscuit, leaned against the wall, chewed slowly, and said nothing.
Everyone was so angry that they scolded them for rescuing a group of white-eyed wolves. After scolding them for a long time, Platoon Leader Zhao asked: "Xia Yuan, what are we going to do next? Te Niang's national army cannot return, and we will be treated as deserters, so
Just like Xu Liu, grandma, I don’t want to die so useless, I would rather die at the gunpoint of the Japanese."
"Wait, wait until dawn, the Japanese will counterattack." Xia Yuan ate the biscuits in three or two bites, opened the marching water bottle and took a few sips.
Staying in Luodian, a place of right and wrong, the Japanese army is in danger, and the national army is equally in danger. They will be treated as deserters. This is the identity of the new barracks, unless they find a way to get out of the new barracks.
"When the battle started, did you see Captain Du?" Xia Yuan threw the marching kettle to the scholar and turned to call Platoon Leader Zhao.
"Whenever we had the chance to see it, the Japanese soldiers rushed over and the whole team was in chaos. There were gunshots everywhere and we couldn't even find the direction. There was no sign of Captain Du anywhere. Could it be that Captain Du was already dead?
?”
Platoon Leader Zhao shook his head.
The situation at that time was indeed chaotic. When they entered the house, they could no longer tell the difference between east, west and north. They went wherever there were no Japanese Japs. When they entered the house, they found that they had arrived at the place of death. There was a detachment of Japanese Japs.
They surrounded them and created a chaotic scene, in which many people died.
No one knew how many Japanese troops were attacking them. At that time, everyone had only one thought, and that was to run away.
The chaos in the new barracks was beyond Xia Yuan's expectation. He had long expected that the new barracks would be defeated, but he did not expect that the new barracks would be defeated so quickly. It took only a short time for the new barracks to be in contact with the Japanese army.
, indeed beyond his imagination.
As the battle raged, they hid in the ruins and listened to the sound of gunfire nearby. The 397th Regiment and the 401st Regiment launched a counterattack on the Japanese positions that night.
Heavy rains had an impact on the attacking troops, and the neighboring troops were unable to send more reinforcements.
The battle lasted until the next day. After a night of fighting, the Japanese army failed to break through the defense line established in Luodian and had to withdraw.
Early in the morning, the gunshots that rang out around them became sparse. Many retreating soldiers from the national army appeared around them. They were gray-headed and bandaged, retreating from the front line. In the direction of the front line, artillery fire was still in the sky, and artillery shells were flying over.
Stray bullets fell all around, and the ground shook slightly.
"Wake up, we can retreat."
Xia Yuan stayed up all night, keeping an eye on his surroundings. In the morning, the national army began to retreat, and their opportunity came.
There were far fewer people retreating. The two regiments had been fighting for a whole night and suffered heavy casualties. I am afraid that if they retreat today, they will have to completely withdraw from the Luodian battlefield. Maybe they can retreat to Jiading with these people to rest.
However, there will always be surprises in this process, and Xia Yuan doesn't hold out much hope. Currently, he is retreating first. As for where he can retreat to, he doesn't know.
After everyone woke up, they simply packed up the bedding under them and took what they could carry. When no one noticed, they blended into the crowd as retreating troops. No one noticed, but only briefly and very quickly.
They were discovered soon, but there was nothing they could do, the Japanese equipment on their bodies was too conspicuous.
"Who are you!"
The superior officer came down and called the five of them aside for questioning.
It was obviously not the first time that Platoon Leader Zhao had to deal with such a thing. He took out a watch he found from a Japanese soldier from his pocket, put it into his hand, and said: "Sir, we are soldiers from the second platoon of the ninth company of the new barracks."
, I am the leader of the second platoon, and these are my soldiers. Last night we fought with the Japanese all night long, killing three squads of the Japanese and seizing a lot of trophies."
Platoon leader Zhao chuckled: "These watches were taken off the hands of Japanese soldiers. They are all good things."
When bribing the officer in front of him, Platoon Leader Zhao glanced at the opponent's military rank, which was a captain and company commander. Platoon Leader Zhao smiled and thought about establishing a good relationship with the opponent. It would not be particularly easy for them to retreat.
"Three squads of Japanese soldiers were wiped out? Five of you?" The captain and company commander stared at the five of them.
The scholar was wearing a pair of glasses with one lens broken. He looked shabby, his raincoat was torn, and his gun was missing. Niu Hai had a bruised nose and swollen face, with dried blood on them. Both of them were carrying Japanese bullet clips.
Raincoats, military kettles, bayonets, and grenades were all Japanese equipment.
Zheng Dayong and Platoon Leader Zhao carried a Japanese machine gun with a crooked handle and carried a lot of Japanese machine gun ammunition.
The most conspicuous person is Xia Yuan, who is tall and not short, with very bright eyes. He carries several bayonets captured from the Japanese soldiers behind him, a Japanese bullet clip, a grenade, and a military kettle on his waist.
Wearing the bedding that was captured by the Japanese.
If you only look at Xia Yuan, Platoon Leader Zhao and Zheng Dayong, the three people in front of you really look like soldiers fighting against the Japanese, but Shu Sheng and Niu Hai don't look like soldiers fighting against the Japanese at all.
Weighing the watch in his hand, he couldn't tell what the captain and company commander in front of him meant.
With no other choice, Platoon Leader Zhao endured the pain and took out a watch from his body and threw it to the opponent. The captain in front of him had a bright smile on his face: "You eliminated three Japanese squadrons. You are a true fighting hero."
Platoon leader Zhao smiled modestly and said: "No matter where you are, the commander's soldiers are the fighting heroes."
"I can't compare to you." The captain waved his hand, stared at the light machine guns on the shoulders of Platoon Leader Zhao and Zheng Da, and said: "It must be very tiring to carry this thing, Zhutou, come here and help them."
"Here we go." A tall and thick man came over. His head looked a bit big, his nose was turned up, and two nostrils were exposed. He really looked like a pig's head.
"Company Commander, they are the only ones who need help. Hey, these two crooked sticks are a good thing." Zhu Tou came over, stared at the faces of the five people, and said, "They look a bit unfamiliar."
The captain and company commander gave him a slap in the face and said: "Where did all this nonsense come from? Just carry it with you."
When Platoon Leader Zhao heard this, he immediately became anxious. These two light machine guns were their most precious possessions. Whether it was tiring to carry the light machine guns was all nonsense. The other party just took a fancy to these two light machine guns.
If you want to keep these two light machine guns as your own, you have to give them to the other party. If you want to get them back, it is basically impossible.
"Sir, sir, please do your best. We worked hard with all our brothers to seize these two machine guns from the Japanese. You can't take them away."
The rank of officer is overwhelming, especially when the opponent is a regular army. He is from a local army and is a small platoon leader of a cannon fodder battalion. Not to mention that he is facing a company commander or a squad leader. He can't overpower them.
There is no way, the gold content of the regular army cannot be compared to the small platoon of the cannon fodder battalion in the long run.
Platoon leader Zhao didn't want to give up. He still wanted to fight for it. Instead, he annoyed the company commander and cursed: "Damn you, Jiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai. I let you follow me just to give you face. Really."
I thought that the three melons and two dates you gave me would allow me to take you deserters away, I will kill you so hard, who cares about the life and death of a group of deserters."
He was about to take out his gun from his arms, when Xia Yuan stepped forward and held down his hand.
"What are you doing? You want to die." The company commander was very arrogant.
"Sir, don't be angry. If you have something to say, we are retreating right now. It would be terrible if you fired a gun and were seen by the commanders of other companies. In this way, we will give you whatever you like."
Yuanle's cheerful look, coupled with what he said, made the company commander gradually calm down, snorted coldly, and winked at the pig head.
The man named Zhutou even kicked Platoon Leader Zhao to the ground, took the crooked handle from his hand, and then waved to Zheng Dayong: "Bring your gun here."
Zheng Dayong turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan nodded to him and motioned for him to give him the crooked handle. Then he helped Platoon Leader Zhao up from the ground. Platoon Leader Zhao was a little unconvinced and wanted to say something.
, Xia Yuan shook his head at him.
After Zhu Tou had taken away all the machine gun bullets and grenades from their bodies, the company commander stared at the rifles in the hands of several people and said arrogantly: "Bring the guns and ammunition you are carrying together."
"You!" When Platoon Leader Zhao heard this, the machine gun ammunition had been taken away, and grenades were not left for them. Now they were not even given rifles. This was because they were not going to let them live.
Xia Yuan held him down and threw the gun behind him to him. He also took off the bullet clip and stuffed it into the opponent.
The company commander didn't want to let go and tapped the bayonet behind him. Xia Yuan had no choice but to throw the four captured bayonets behind him to the opponent. Then the company commander waved his hand, "Get out of here, don't let me see him again."
you."
After saying a few words, the company commander took the man named Zhutou and left, leaving only five people standing there who had their equipment removed.
"Not to mention the grenade, there isn't even a single bullet left for us, Grandma Te, how can we fight against the little devil!"
Platoon leader Zhao was unconvinced. Looking at the back of the company commander, he turned to Xia Yuan and said, "What should we do now? All our weapons and equipment have been taken away."
Everyone mixed in with the team and retreated with the team. All the weapons and equipment on the five people were taken away. The opponent even didn't let go of the military water bottles and took them away. What was left for them was brought from the recruit camp.
What came out was an old kettle with a shriveled surface. I wonder if it was picked up from the battlefield.
Niu Hai shook the shriveled kettle and said dejectedly: "There is no water anymore. I put the water in the kid's kettle."
Zheng Dayong said: "Platoon leader, Brother Xia, these people are so stupid that they even robbed us of the things we used to kill the little Japanese devils."
Platoon leader Zhao cursed: "These idiots want to use our things in exchange for rewards. They have two crooked weapons. Whoever can seize two crooked weapons of the Japanese devils should not give them to them."
Xia Yuan shook the marching kettle on his waist, looked coldly, and said: "They want to take our things, how can we let them take it away so easily? Let's wait until dark."
The scholar said: "What if they run away."
Xia Yuan pondered, staring at the company commander commanding the marching team in the distance, thinking for a moment, and responded: "Then act now and get rid of this thing. We can't let him take away our things in vain.
.”
"Xia Yuan, what good idea do you have, get him, and get my two watches as well. We finally eliminated such Japanese devils and seized so many things, how could we lose them like this?"
Platoon leader Zhao was extremely angry. They had snatched these things with their lives from the Japanese. How could they just throw them away?
Zheng Dayong said: "Platoon leader, you are still thinking about those two watches."
Those two watches were taken off the corpses of Japanese soldiers and given to Platoon Leader Zhao. They looked very beautiful.
"Xinqiu, not only the two watches, but also our machine guns, bullets, grenades, and kettles." Platoon Leader Zhao cursed: "If we do this to him, we can get the watches back together."
