It was quiet, except for the continuous roar of cannons and the noise of gunfire, which could not be heard clearly.
Xia Yuan stuck behind the wall of the ruins and carefully poked out half of his head to observe. He saw two or three Japanese soldiers who seemed to have lost their way. They were walking very carefully with guns in hand from where they came.
In front of them was the Qiao family residence, which had been reduced to ruins. The Japanese army did not set up defenses here, and the focus of the war had shifted.
"Japs!"
Zheng Dayong, Xiao Liu, and Er Lunzi immediately became nervous.
Zheng Dayong squatted down, grabbed a stone, and carefully touched Xia Yuan's back, waiting for Xia Yuan's order to attack at any time.
When Xiao Liu and Er Lengzi saw this, they also found a stone with a sharp end on the ground and grabbed it in their hands.
The heart began to beat uncontrollably.
The pressure brought by the Japanese was not small, especially Xiaoliu. He had seen scenes where the Japanese rushed to the battlefield and fought with the soldiers. One or two national soldiers were no match for the Japanese. Often three or four soldiers were needed.
To deal with one Japanese devil, you also need to be wary of other Japanese devils.
There were only four of them, and even if Xia Yuanzai was to deal with these three Japanese devils with his bare hands, it would not be an easy task.
In their subconscious mind, Xia Yuan was only good at fighting, but they had never seen how skilled he was.
It is not an easy task to deal with three Japanese soldiers armed with rifles with bare hands, and there may be a risk of death.
But even so, they still grabbed a stone and waited quietly. As long as Xia Yuan asked them to rush forward, they would dare to rush over and fight with the little Japanese devil.
Xia Yuan pursed his lips, stared without saying a word, and whispered to the three of them: "These are Japanese scouts. They are difficult to deal with. There are people behind them."
When they heard that there was someone behind them, the three of them turned pale and felt even more nervous.
As if to confirm Xia Yuan's words, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in the rear. There were seven or eight Japanese soldiers. Two Japanese soldiers were carrying a stretcher. The clothes of the Japanese soldier lying on the stretcher were the same as those of the Japanese soldiers beside him.
The Japanese soldiers' clothes were different, and they had a small pistol on their waist.
Everyone immediately realized that this might be a Japanese officer.
The Japanese troops in front of them were about one detachment, and they were bare-handed. The only weapons they could use were a few stones in their hands, and they were all very nervous.
We promised to make money by killing people, but why can't we get along with the Japanese devils?
Because the target was different tonight, Xia Yuan did not think about taking action. He waited until the Japanese troops were far away before Xia Yuan called them to follow him.
Xiaoliu saw that this was not like Xia Yuan's style, so he asked: "Brother Yuan, is it feasible for us to let these Japanese devils leave?"
Xia Yuan led them on their way and explained to them: "Of course it is possible. These Japanese Japs escaped in a rout. It is not ruled out that they carried out detours and carried out sneak attacks. But unfortunately, they failed and suffered heavy casualties."
The sound of the national army's artillery was quite special. He heard that the caliber was not small and the range was very long. It posed a huge threat to the Japanese positions. The Japanese would definitely try to send action teams to use roundabout ways to attack the enemy.
During a sneak attack on the Nationalist Army's position, I saw the Japanese troops heading towards the Japanese Army's position from the direction they came from. Moreover, many of the Japanese Army's soldiers were in trouble. Anyone with a discerning eye could basically see that.
"Are you curious why I didn't deal with this Japanese devil?" Xia Yuan smiled and said: "We only have a few of these Japanese devils with bare hands. Even if we fight them, we will probably be injured. The gain is not worth the loss, so be steady.
Keep moving forward, and when you reach the front line, there will be plenty of guns and ammunition."
"Listen to Brother Yuan, you're right." Zheng Dayong said.
The fighting on the front line was particularly fierce. The 401st Regiment of the 67th Division sent a battalion to forcibly cross the river. When they arrived on the other side, only one-third of the troops were left and suffered heavy casualties.
Commander Qiu looked a little more sad as he listened to the battle report passed back from the front: "I'm afraid that after tonight, the 401st Regiment will be completely defeated."
Although the 401st Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles, it was not to the extent that it was crippled by the Japanese.
Today, after listening to the order passed down from Shangfeng, Baoshan in the direction of Wusongkou fell. The Japanese Third Division and the Eleventh Division had already merged. After thinking for a moment, he thought about why he had issued the order for a general attack tonight.
Once reinforcements from the Third Division arrive, the situation in their siege of Luodian will change dramatically, and perhaps Luodian will be completely lost by then.
"I'm afraid that even if the 401st Regiment is wiped out, Luodian will also be captured."
Not only Commander Qiu of the 401st Regiment thought this way, but the commanders of other regiments also thought this way, so they gave the order to the troops to capture Luodian at all costs.
In the frontline positions, dead bodies were strewn everywhere, and guns and ammunition were scattered everywhere.
As Xia Yuan said, when you get to the front line, there are plenty of guns and ammunition.
They were hiding in the ruins, and from time to time, stray bullets flying from the front line would fall around them. The same was true for the bullets, which floated from a very far away place, their kinetic energy had been greatly reduced, and they landed on the wall, making a slight sound.
.
The alert people looked up and saw nothing.
It's not kind to make money from dead people, but they don't have much choice.
"Don't touch the bodies of your brothers, touch the bodies of the Japanese." Xia Yuan led a few people to groping forward cautiously, always wary of bullets floating from a distance. The kinetic energy of these bullets was reduced too much, which was dangerous.
Sensing reminders, he can easily avoid them.
But three people can't do it. A bullet with too much kinetic energy reduction will still be fatal. Even if it is not fatal, after causing injury, in this era of backward medical standards, minor injuries will become serious injuries, and serious injuries will lead to death.
Especially when the bullet has no eye, you still have to be careful.
"yes."
The three of them remembered Xia Yuan's reminder and searched for the Japanese corpses in the night.
The more I look for it, the more chilling it becomes.
Our own people, our own people, our own people's corpses are everywhere, but there are very few Japanese corpses.
Zheng Dayong frowned and said: "So many of our people died in this battle. I found more than 20 corpses, but I didn't see a single Japanese corpse."
"Let's explore a little further, maybe the Japanese corpse is in front." Xiaoliu's heart also calmed down, and he crouched on the ground, holding a broken gun in his hand.
I got this from my own corpse. It was a gun made in Hanyang. The skin on the gun was peeled off, it was badly faded, and the rifling was seriously smoothed, but it was basically enough for use.
Xia Yuan was on the other side. He didn't look through the ruins one by one like a few people. He glanced at the ruins and could tell at a glance whether they belonged to the enemy or one of our own. He walked forward and groped around, and found that the things on the corpses had already been found.
It had already been touched. There were still marks of the watch on his wrist, and the watch had also been touched.
Maybe it was the attacking National Army troops. After killing the Japanese Japs, there were always a few veterans who wandered into the battlefield and took the opportunity to steal the Japanese Japs' corpses.
Some took away gold and silver jewelry, while others stared at the cans and biscuits on their bodies, and some even touched the Japanese guns and ammunition.
Even the shoes were taken away, revealing a pair of black and smelly socks. One fell to the ground and the other was put on the feet. Maybe someone didn't even let go of the socks, but the Japanese devil's feet were really too big.
It smelled so bad that I threw the socks away because I couldn't bear it.
Xia Yuan sneered, stretched out his hand and took off the Japanese soldier's clothes. He randomly found a corner and threw them away, leaving only a piece of Japanese underwear that could be used to identify whether he was Chinese or Japanese. He probably waited until Luodian was completely destroyed.
When the Japanese corpse collection team came over, their faces turned green with anger when they saw the Japanese soldiers who had their clothes stripped off.
There is no way, the national army cannot defeat them. Even if he joins the war, he can only play a small role in attacking the enemy, which is of no use.
After groping for seven or eight Japanese corpses, we picked up some bullets, but not a single gun, not even a bayonet. The national soldiers searched very specifically, including guns, grenades, gold and silver jewelry, followed by Japanese soldiers.
rations.
Most of the rations for the Japs were canned food, biscuits, and a small amount of packed lunches. I guess they all had them, but they were all eaten.
The weather is sultry and it is not easy to preserve. If you can eat it as early as possible, eat it as soon as possible.
Xia Yuan touched the front, but the people behind him could not touch it. When he saw that the clothes of the Japanese soldiers had been stripped off, their naked bodies were covered with bullet holes, and their blood was flowing, Zheng Dayong said: "Hey, there are people who even touch the Japanese soldiers."
All the clothes were taken off.”
"Look, there's something ahead. This one is specifically for stripping off the clothes of Japanese soldiers." Er Lunzi looked ahead, and in the hazy darkness, he discovered a white body.
The three of them were surprised, and Xiao Liu exhaled fiercely: "Good job, I think I should also take off their pants."
Xia Yuan touched the corpse very smoothly. He casually picked up the fallen Hanyang made on the ground, carried it behind his back, and continued to walk forward. He had already reached the front of several people. Wherever he looked, was it the enemy's corpse or the corpse of the enemy?
The remains of one of our own can be seen at a glance.
Only by getting close to the enemy's forward positions can we find more and more Japanese corpses.
But the death ratio between the two sides is still not proportional.
As the number of Japanese corpses began to increase, there were always a few that escaped the net. Xia Yuan stepped forward, quickly took off the Japanese's clothes, took away watches and bullets, and luckily picked up one.
The Japanese Type 38 rifle was replaced with the one made by Hanyang behind him. Xia Yuan felt a little more at ease.
At the level of Ming Jin, you can still kill people in close combat, but on the battlefield, no matter how good your martial arts is, you can kill him with one shot.
Therefore, when you should be reckless, you should be reckless. When you should be cautious, you should be cautious, and you should not continue to be reckless.
Only when it is absolutely necessary will you kill the enemy with both hands.
If not, try to use a gun.
With guns and ammunition, Xia Yuan's movements became a little bolder. When observing the movements of the three people behind him, he strode forward. The closer he got to the battle zone in front, the more he could feel the wave of waves floating in the air.
The smell of gunpowder smoke is accompanied by a sense of heat.
Xia Yuan stopped. The purpose of his visit today was to touch the body. If there was another thing he wanted to do, it was to kill Qiu Zhengfu.
After the convoy picked up the wounded from the direction of Luodian, on the way to Jiading, it encountered the 401st Regiment, whose direction was Luodian. Even the 401st Regiment, which suffered heavy casualties, had already gone to the battlefield.
It can be seen that the fall of Baoshan still had a considerable impact on the national army in the direction of Luodian.
Xia Yuan was still unclear about the layout of the national army in Luodian. He stood on a high wall in ruins and looked into the distance. The battle ahead was fierce. The tracer trajectory of the machine gun tore through the dark night and left a trace in the air.
The streets were anxious, artillery fire was flashing, and the attacking national soldiers could not be seen. The intensity of the battle could only be judged by the fierce gunfire.
"The national army also spent a lot of money, using mortars and light and heavy machine guns."
Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze, jumped down from the wall, found the three of them, and warned: "For the time being, you should collect more guns and carry as much ammunition as possible. It would be best if you can get medicine. Beware of Japanese devils. In addition, you should also be careful of your own people."
, if someone comes over, hide if you can, don’t want to be treated as a deserter and punished on the spot.”
"Brother Yuan, what are you going to do?" Zheng Dayong asked anxiously, already carrying seven or eight rifles behind his back.
"The battle on the front line is fierce. I went over to take a look. If I can meet that guy Qiu Zhengfu, I will find an opportunity to kill him." When talking about Qiu Zhengfu, Xia Yuan's eyes were cold. If he just snatched the command, he would lead the army.
As soon as the guard platoon retreated, they retreated.
But he should never, never should, kill Captain Xu.
Company Commander Xu was a righteous man who resisted Japan. He was one of the few good generals in the national army who sincerely resisted Japan. However, he never thought that he would be killed by his own people. Perhaps Company Commander Xu would never have thought until his death that he did not die on the battlefield, but in humiliation.
He died in the hands of the men who were protecting him with his life.
Such a way to die is such a humiliation, I'm afraid I won't die in peace.
For soldiers, dying in battle is the greatest honor, and being killed by traitors is the most humiliating.
Xia Yuan will definitely avenge such a good general and kill Qiu Zhengfu.
"Brother Yuan, let's go with you!"
When the three heard this, they gritted their teeth and said.
Obviously, he hates Qiu Zhengfu to the point of death.
"The fighting on the front lines is fierce. You can't help me even if you go there. I can just go by myself."
Xia Yuan waved his hand and warned again worriedly, and then distributed the gold and silver jewelry he got from the Japanese to the three of them, "The guns are sold on the black market. Keep these gold and silver jewelry close to you. If the war is over, you can go back."
You can take a wife."
When the three of them heard this, their expressions were incomprehensible.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die. I'll take a troop carrier back to Jiading before dawn." Xia Yuan waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to leave first. The presence of the three of them would really affect Xia Yuan's description. They
Without him, Xia Yuan felt relaxed.
This is also the reason why he told Li Youcai that he would go to Baoshan alone and not take the platoon with him.
The Japanese and the Chinese army are in a confrontation. They will not relax like the US military. It is very difficult to lead a platoon through the Japanese positions.
