A soldier ran very fast, and the Japanese bullets shot past him, leaving a large mess behind him. He rushed into the collapsed and dilapidated house and was pleasantly surprised: "Platoon commander, the reinforcements are here!"
The fourth platoon leader suddenly stood up from the ground, with undisguised joy on his face: "Where are they? Where are the additional troops? Take me to see them quickly!"
Xia Yuan led the guard platoon, Platoon Commander Zhao, Company Commander Xu and others quickly through the broken streets. A soldier led them: "Sir, it's right in front."
After crossing the alley, I met the fourth platoon leader at the corner. When he saw the person coming, the fourth platoon leader was very happy: "Sir, you are finally here."
"Without those polite words, how is the situation now?" Xia Yuan got straight to the point and asked him directly.
"The situation is not optimistic. The Japanese army hollowed out the wall behind the house and set up four machine gun fire points overlooking the entire town. We dare not wander around the street because the Japanese machine guns can hit us," the fourth platoon leader said:
"Our platoon fought four times, but failed to do so. The most recent one was just under the house. However, the Japanese still hid people in the houses on both sides of Lin's house. When we went over, we were beaten to death by people on both sides.
Already."
"What's the strength of the Japanese troops in Lin's house?" Xia Yuan asked again.
"We don't know. Judging from the firepower alone, there are probably two detachments. But we don't know whether there are two detachments. The Japanese are hiding very deep. If they don't show up, there's nothing we can do against them." Fourth Platoon
The commander felt a little desperate. If the reinforcements hadn't arrived yet, they would probably be consumed to death by these Japanese devils.
After listening to each other's story, everyone felt a little bit in their hearts.
There are Japanese soldiers hiding in the houses on both sides. The strength of the Japanese troops is unclear. Four machine guns form a crossfire and can cover the streets and alleys of the town, especially the streets perpendicular to the Lin family residence. Once they appear, they will become
A living target for the Japanese guns hidden in the Lin family's house.
Not only that, as they were close to the Lin family residence, the Japanese troops hiding in the houses on both sides were able to attack them in time.
Captain Xu said sadly: "This situation is really bad."
Platoon Leader Qiu said: "Not only is it bad, but for us people, even if our strength is doubled, it will not be easy to break in."
"Xia Yuan, do you have any good way for us to get in?" When Platoon Leader Zhao asked, he sighed: "It would be great if the grenade was still there. Let the scholar shoot a few shots at the house."
, maybe the little Japanese devil’s firepower will be knocked out, especially grandma, our grenade was snatched away.”
The resentment in Platoon Leader Zhao's heart was not small. If there were grenades here, how could they be blocked by the firepower point built by this little Japanese devil in front of them.
"The caliber of the grenade is too small. If it falls on the wall, it may not be able to open its defense." Xia Yuan thought and said, "Let's make a cold shot."
"A cold shot?"
Everyone looked at each other, feeling very fresh about this word.
Platoon Leader Qiu asked: "A cold shot, a cold shot?"
"Yes, just shoot suddenly. Also, concentrate all the grenades on your body. Scholar, you will follow me later." Xia Yuan still brought the person he trusted the most.
"What about us?" Platoon Commander Qiu was a little nervous, fearing that Xia Yuan would arrange some mission for them to attack Lin's house.
In this situation, rushing forward is almost like sending someone to death.
"Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. It's your turn to wait here for us to wipe out the Japanese troops in Lin's house." Xia Yuan pursed his lips. In this situation, he wanted to avoid casualties.
You have to stand up for yourself.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Company Commander Xu asked: "Do you want to go there alone?"
Xia Yuan smiled: "There are still scholars here, right?"
"How can two people do it? You have to face all the Japanese in the Lin family's house." Platoon leader Qiu also felt unbelievable, but he was relieved in his heart. As long as they are not allowed to attack the Lin family's house, they only have these few guns.
, few people can survive if they rush over.
The Japanese army had the right time, place, and people, and the advantage was too great.
The fourth platoon leader also said: "Sir, it won't work. There are so many Japanese soldiers. How can you two defeat them?"
Platoon leader Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Yuan, I'll come with you."
Zheng Dayong and Niu Hai also said: "Brother Xia Yuan, we are going too."
Xia Yuan was very touched, smiled and said: "I can solve this matter with the scholar. You couldn't help much in the past. The scholar will use the Japanese grenades and wait until we find the Japanese."
grenade launchers, the little Japs’ houses can’t stop us.”
"Brother Xia Yuan, are you saying that the caliber of the grenade is too small and that the grenade cannot break through the wall of Lin's house?" Zheng Dayong asked.
"The caliber is small, so one shot will definitely not work, but a few more shots will make a difference. The Lin family house is an ordinary brick structure. It can block two or three shots, but it cannot block more." Xia Yuan
He waved his hand and said: "Okay, that's it, let's start preparations."
Captain Xu grabbed him and said, "Xia Yuan, I think this matter needs to be thought about carefully and not be acted out of impulse."
Xia Yuan said with a smile: "You underestimate me too much. I can lead the five of them to eliminate three Japanese detachments, and then I can lead the scholars to knock down the Lin family house. Okay, it's settled.
If we can't defeat it, I will withdraw and take you there with me."
He was not bragging. He had experienced so many cruel battles in Korea and faced little Japanese soldiers who were not on the same level as the US military. Especially after gaining a sense of danger, it would be easier to deal with the little Japanese devils.
Since Xia Yuan chose to do it, he had a certain degree of certainty and confidence that he could do it.
The difficulty of attacking the Lin Family Residence is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the sky for the soldiers of the national army.
Company Commander Xu opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. Platoon Commander Qiu stood up and said, "I think what Xia Yuan said makes sense. We can't help much if we go up now. Why don't we let Xia Yuan go take a look and let him know for a while?"
Let’s take a cold shot and see if we can find an opportunity.”
Platoon Leader Qiu had seen Xia Yuan's marksmanship. A cold shot would definitely work, but it would be almost impossible to clear out the Japanese troops in Lin's house. Bullets and cannons don't have eyes. During the charge, you can't imagine the next step.
Whether it will be hit by a bullet in seconds.
Secondly, the Japanese soldiers have very strong combat effectiveness. Commander Qiu once said that the combat ability of a Japanese soldier is far superior to our soldiers. Coupled with the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army, this means that their soldiers are destined to use huge weapons.
The cost was to consume the Japanese troops.
This kind of battle loss ratio has reached a terrifying eight to one on the Luodian battlefield.
And there were only two people, Xia Yuan and Scholar, how could they deal with the Japanese troops in Lin's house.
After collecting the grenades, Xia Yuan only took away some of them. He took the scholar, a gun on his back, and enough ammunition to get into the ruins and disappeared without a trace.
Platoon Leader Qiu looked at the direction in which they disappeared and said: "Company Commander Xu, Platoon Leader Zhao, we must also be prepared. Xia Yuan's actions are too reckless. It is very risky for two people to attack Lin's house where the Japanese are holding firm."
Behavior."
After a pause, he continued: "Xia Yuan doesn't know that the regiment commander gave me an order when we came out. If Xia Yuan gives an order inappropriately, goes too far, etc., I can leapfrog and seize the command."
Company Commander Xu's eyes moved and he said: "Platoon Commander Qiu, I don't know what happened. My suggestion is to wait."
Platoon Commander Qiu smiled and said: "Company Commander Xu, this matter does not require your consent. You have no right to interfere. You just retreated from the battlefield and did not receive any combat orders. In addition, I can order you. If you want to
Know this."
Captain Xu paused for a moment, sighed, and said, "I won't get involved in your affairs. I just met you on the road and came here on Xia Yuan's request."
Ever since Xia Yuan explained what was right and wrong, Captain Xu had been admiring Xia Yuan. This time Xia Yuan met Commander Qiu and successfully led the guards out, which impressed him. He also wiped out a large number of Japanese troops on the battlefield, and was more powerful than Platoon Commander Qiu in front of him.
So much better.
Company Commander Xu had his own thoughts on who to choose.
Platoon Commander Qiu's smile froze and he said: "Captain Xu, you are the first company commander of the 401st Regiment. It is a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders. Are you going to disobey orders?"
After saying that, Platoon Commander Qiu's eyes suddenly turned fierce.
Captain Xu pondered, "I never had the intention to disobey orders. I just wanted to kill the Japanese. In addition, Xia Yuan did not issue inappropriate orders or act excessively."
Platoon Leader Zhao stepped forward and stared at Platoon Leader Qiu: "I can testify to this!"
"Huh, anyway, I will keep an eye on you." Platoon Commander Qiu revealed his true colors, and he was completely different from his previous appearance.
Platoon Leader Zhao's heart skipped a beat. Platoon Leader Qiu, Commander Qiu, from the last names of the two people, you can tell that the leader of Platoon Qiu in front of you is related to the leader of the 401st Regiment. If you have a bad relationship with this person, this person will be punished.
They are stumbling, and there is really no way to deal with it.
"I hope Xia Yuan can come back safely. When he comes back, I will give him a reminder."
Platoon Leader Zhao glanced at Platoon Leader Qiu vaguely, called Zheng Dayong and Niu Hai aside, and didn't know what to say. Platoon Leader Qiu glanced at him from a distance, sneered, and dispersed with more than thirty people.
.
Company Commander Xu looked at Platoon Leader Zhao, then at Platoon Leader Qiu, and sighed helplessly. As soon as Xia Yuan left, Qiu Zhengfu exposed his little thoughts.
If Xia Yuan died on the battlefield, Platoon Commander Qiu would probably be gone by now.
Helpless, Captain Xu could only lead a few soldiers of the Eighth Company into the ruins nearby.
The fourth platoon leader and deputy platoon leader of the reinforced company looked at each other, unsure of what had happened. The team in front of them seemed to have suddenly fallen apart.
The backbone of this team is Xia Yuan. Even though Platoon Leader Qiu behaved very obediently in front of Xia Yuan, it was actually because of Captain Qiu. If not for Captain Qiu, he, as a regimental commander of the Central Army's Guard Platoon
How could a platoon leader obey the orders of a new soldier, even if he was a better marksman?
Captain Xu was completely attracted by Xia Yuan's ability. Anyone who could be favored by Commander Qiu must be extraordinary.
Just as Captain Xu and his party entered the ruins, Platoon Commander Qiu stood in the distance and watched Captain Xu's actions. Seeing that Captain Xu did not go to find Platoon Leader Zhao in the new barracks, he felt relieved and got into the house.
Unexpectedly, Captain Xu got into the ruins and asked his brothers to keep an eye on him while he circled around and found Platoon Leader Zhao.
"Company Commander Xu, why are you here?"
Platoon Leader Zhao was taking Zheng Dayong to talk to Niu Hai. When he saw Company Commander Xu coming over, he was a little surprised, "Did the platoon leader of the guard platoon ask you to come here? Captain Xu, to be honest, that man looks down on us, just like this morning.
It’s the same as the Cao Jiayao I met.”
They met Cao Jiayao this morning. If Company Commander Xu hadn't taken action, they would have killed him.
Comparing Platoon Leader Qiu to Cao Jiayao, Company Commander Xu knew that the three of them had resentment towards Platoon Leader Qiu, and said helplessly: "Don't say these words in front of Qiu Zhengfu. He has a relationship with the leader of the 401st Regiment.
If he hears it, with his character, he will definitely come to you."
"Company Commander Xu is interested, we will remember it, and I will tell him when Xia Yuan comes back." Platoon Commander Zhao was still calm and mentioned it, then said nothing more and asked again: "Company Commander Xu, we plan to go find Xia Yuan.
"
Xia Yuan was their backbone. He suddenly took the scholar to Lin's residence to deal with the Japanese in Lin's residence, which made the three of them feel a little uneasy. After much thought and a brief discussion, they decided to go to Xia Yuan.
"That man named Qiu is afraid, but we are not afraid. Without brother Xia Yuan, we would have died once a long time ago." Niu Hai said with a temper.
Witnessing Xu Liu's death with his own eyes, and being punched and kicked by the villains, the weapons and equipment he had robbed from the Japanese with so much hard work and almost his life were taken away by these so-called superiors with high-sounding reasons, which made Niu Hai feel dissatisfied with these things.
Officials are full of dissatisfaction.
He held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted in a loud voice.
After shouting, I regretted it, wondering if I had gotten into trouble.
"Niu Hai is right! Without Xia Yuan, we would have died once a long time ago." Platoon Leader Zhao stood up and said, "Company Commander Xu, we will leave first."
"Wait a minute, you can leave, but don't affect Xia Yuan's operations!" Captain Xu stopped them, "Xia Yuan specifically explained when he left that the situation on the battlefield is complicated, and the alleys and streets of Lin's residence are blocked by Japanese soldiers. You
I am not going to help Xia Yuan, but to cause trouble for him."
"We are not afraid of death!"
"I'm not afraid either. Death is nothing to be afraid of. But if you die, what will Xia Yuan do if he can't find you when he comes back? Are you soldiers if you act without authorization?" Captain Xu's voice was loud, and the expression on his face was a bit ferocious.
: "There were more than 100 people in the Eighth Company, and only about 30 people died. Those who died, were they afraid of death? They were not afraid. A bullet penetrated the body, and they died within a short time of lying on the ground. Nothing.
You don’t have to think about it, but you will die happily, and the living people will indeed suffer.”
There are also many famous anti-Japanese generals and anti-Japanese heroes in the national army. They are like a ray of light in the darkness, adding color to the arrival of dawn.
