"I understand, I understand." Old Man Wang suppressed the smile on his face, nodded and bowed and said: "Big man, don't mention how majestic you are now. You are the god of war in the army and a great hero in the country."
"It's useless to talk so much. Don't you want to survive?" Xia Yuan glanced at the two of them and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Jiading was surrounded by soldiers. We were caught in Jiading and escaped from custody by luck. The whole city began to recruit troops to go to the front line, and we were also recruited. Fortunately, I heard a few days ago that you went to the 51st Division. I took the monkey and ran to the recruitment site of the 51st Division and told the recruiter that I knew you and had fought with you and wanted to join your company. After the other party agreed, I would use a truck that night. Transport us to the rear of the 51st Division."
Old Man Wang grabbed Xia Yuan's hand and said, "Big man, you can bring us alive. We don't believe anyone but you."
"Big man, please, please save us."
"Save? How to save? I saved you. Who will save me and help you escape? Then who am I?" Xia Yuan let go of Old Man Wang's hand and said: "I want to retreat when I come to the front line. It's impossible. I won't. They will make you retreat, and the Japanese will not let you retreat."
"Big man, for the sake of our fellow villagers, you are helping my uncle for the last time." Old Man Wang said in a pleading tone.
"This is not a question of whether to help or not. When the new company arrived at the front line, there were more than 80 people, plus platoon leader Li's 30 people, and more than 100 people. After a day of fighting, the remaining troops were less than one platoon. The hundred or ten men who have joined me are all here for me and want to fight with me. If they see that I let you go and become deserters, what will they think of me?"
Xia Yuan pointed at a broken corpse of a national soldier on the ground, "What will they think? Who will comfort them when they die!"
"Yes, but I don't want to die." Seeing Xia Yuan's firm attitude, Old Man Wang suddenly felt disheartened.
"Who wants to die, but when you get to the battlefield, you don't think about dying. There is no concept of death in your heart." Xia Yuan looked at the soldiers of the new company who had entered combat status and said: "Come to the battlefield. , more people have died, and you will find that death is actually like that. Old man, I won’t tell you so much. If you don’t fight now, you will fight again in the future. Do you want to die in your own hands, or do you want to? It's up to you to decide whether to die in battle with dignity."
"The Japs are coming!"
The soldiers' shouts came from the front.
Xia Yuan stared at the monkey: "When people live in this world, they always have to fight for their lives. If you escape in Jiading, you will only be caught back. But if you escape here, you will be shot on the spot. No matter what official position you hold, I I can’t help you, even if the teacher comes, he can’t help you.”
After hearing Xia Yuan's words, the two of them completely gave up on the idea of escape.
The Japanese army came. The two sides exchanged fire in front of the position. The sound of rifles was crackling. Before the sound of heavy machine guns was heard, the Japanese army used grenade launchers first. The battle lasted for half an hour. The two sides grew up here for two years. There were more than a dozen battles in the alley more than 100 meters away, and corpses of Chinese and Japanese soldiers were left in the narrow alley.
Xia Yuan and his two idiots, while giving combat orders to the veterans, led a few soldiers to rush and fight fiercely, occupying three streets in the south, killing the Japanese soldiers in the south, abandoning their armor and defeating them.
A small group of sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties after more than half an hour of fighting.
The positions of the new company along the Dijing River are protruding in the south and concave in the north. This situation has no impact on the new company. They were built on the basis of no positions, and they were taken from the hands of the Japanese.
Seize the position and counterattack the Japanese army. No matter how the position is fought, it will not have any impact on them.
It only affects the Japanese army.
The battle lasted for most of the day, and the two sides fought fiercely in the housing area along the Diding River. Under the roar of Japanese artillery fire, the housing area along the Diding River was covered with rubble and broken limbs. The new company suffered heavy casualties.
, the casualties of the Japanese army were also huge, and the casualties of the Japanese troops attacking in the south were abnormal. No matter how many troops were dispatched, they suffered huge casualties.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese offensive slowed down after most of a day.
Then, the roar of artillery shells was heard in the sky, and the Japanese heavy artillery began to work again.
The soldiers of the newly formed company were all exposed to bombing experience. After the Japanese soldiers began to retreat frantically, everyone began to look for bunkers. Not long after the Japanese army retreated, the sharp whistling of artillery shells sounded in the sky, and there were bursts of shelling. They were like
In the midst of gongs and drums, being blown up and down by Japanese heavy artillery, even if you hide in the corners of the ruins, you will still be affected by the aftermath of the shells.
Some soldiers' hiding places were devoured by Japanese artillery shells, which was very dangerous.
Where did Old Man Wang and Monkey go through this kind of scene? They were lying on a reverse slope along the Dijing River from beginning to end. There was a toilet somewhere, which just formed a bunker. The two of them hid inside and listened to the ever-changing landslides.
There was a cracking movement, and my heart was filled with fear.
Old Man Wang and Hou Hou joined the army for a long time. For more than two months, there were almost no actual shootings on the battlefield. They saw corpses and they were pressed back as strong men. During that time, they saw each other on the battlefield.
Only then did I realize that the cruelty of the battlefield was unmatched by strong men.
Strong men are just the annihilation of human nature. Old Man Wang has long been accustomed to the annihilation of human nature. In the countryside, landlords and wealthy people can do whatever they want and be tyrannical. Since the national army began to implement the conscription system, the burden of conscription has not fallen on counties or cities.
, but falls on rural areas.
They were faced with poor peasants, and if they couldn't pay the money, they would arrest them, pull them directly into the ranks of strong men, and send them to the front line.
What we are facing are rich peasants who want to use money to avoid being arrested and become young men. In the first year, it may be nothing. In the second year, there is still some money, but in the third and fourth years, there will be no money. Selling land
Land was sold, people were arrested, and rich peasants became poor peasants. Even a man in the family was caught and sent to the front line, and his family was ruined.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When these strong men arrived at the front line, they threw themselves into the battlefield without much training, and they did not worry about you escaping or passively resisting or anything like that.
The Japs rush in front of you with bayonets in hand. When they want to kill you, you must resist. No matter how hard you resist, the veteran and the monkey are really lucky. They met Xia Yuan, but their luck did not last long. The Japs
The shelling stopped, and seeing that the Japanese artillery did not show up, Xia Yuan asked the veteran to lead his men to find the two of them.
First, they disarmed them, tied their wrists with ropes, and tied them behind their backs.
Old Man Wang was a little unconvinced and struggled, "Your company commander is my fellow countryman, but you dare to tie me up like this. You are going to die! Let me go quickly."
The monkey was also struggling, "Let me go, why do you tie us up?"
"That's a lot of nonsense!" A soldier kicked Old Wang on the butt. "If I tell you to leave, just leave. Why are you talking so much?"
Two soldiers escorted them to Xia Yuan. There were more than 100 people in the new company, and only about 50 people were left. There was a row of broken corpses on the ground. There was no white cloth, so they used a piece of clothing to remove it from the military uniforms.
The cloth that came down covered their faces, and there were only so many corpses that could be found. If I counted them carefully, they were only about thirty.
Others were either blown to pieces by Japanese artillery shells, or were buried underground and could not be found.
Old Wang and Monkey were led in front of these corpses. Two soldiers behind them held them down and knelt on the ground. Old Wang raised his head, and Xia Yuan stood in front of them, with his back to them, looking at the corpses on the ground in a daze.
When he looked at the corpse again, his eyes felt as if they had been pricked by needles, and his whole body was trembling.
The appearance of these corpses was really too miserable. Some had slashes on their bodies, and the blood made their clothes sticky and covered with mud. Some had their abdominal cavities ripped open, their clothes torn into pieces, and their chests were empty.
Some corpses are in pieces and pieces and are completely spliced together.
The beating was really brutal.
Old Man Wang heard slight sobbing and turned to look to the left. The remaining soldiers of the new company were arranged in three columns. There were only more than fifty people left. Their faces were all dark, and only one pair of eyes were white. There were a few
Bing wiped his tears and his face was stained.
"Big man, you, what do you mean, why did you tie me up?" The old man felt something was wrong and raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan.
"If you ask me why, you should know in your heart that I gave you almost a chance of survival before, but you still found me. Even if you find me, I will forgive you. As long as you perform well on the battlefield and kill the enemy bravely, I will
So what if I give you two a way out?"
Xia Yuan turned around, with deep disappointment on his cold face.
After fighting for most of the day, Xia Yuan thought about how these two people could be infected by the heroic and tenacious spirit of other soldiers. They picked up their guns and fought against the Japanese army. As long as they showed bravery and tenacity and killed a few Japanese Japs, they would be helped when the time came.
Being a deserter is nothing.
After the battle, Xia Yuan did not find the two men, thinking that they had been sacrificed. When he was feeling regretful, during the break of cleaning the battlefield, Erlunzi ran over and told him that the two men were not dead, but hiding in the Dijing River.
I hid in a toilet along the coast for most of the day.
When Xia Yuan heard the news, he felt incredible and shocked at the same time.
He ordered people to carry the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the rear, then summoned a team, disarmed the two men and tied them over, intending to execute them.
Old Man Wang asked him for a bowl of water. Although he didn't get it, he asked for it. In the days that followed, Xia Yuan also helped the two of them. If he hadn't thought about the feelings of fellow villagers, he would have already treated these two people.
As for the shooting, Xia Yuan's character has already been tempered to be iron-blooded and tough. It is natural for the soldiers to follow him to fight and kill the enemy.
If there is an act of escaping from battle, he will not let it go. He will do whatever is necessary according to the execution rules of this era.
"What do you mean, do you want to kill us?" Old Man Wang felt his head buzzing after hearing what Xia Yuan said, and then asked in an incredible tone.
"Kill you? I mean to kill you! Veteran! Do it!" Xia Yuan turned around and gave an order. The veteran stepped forward, pulled the bolt of his rifle, and fired a shot at the ground in front of Old Man Wang, which shocked Old Man Wang.
Kneeling on the ground with Monkey, he wanted to retreat, but was held down by the two soldiers behind him.
The veteran laughed loudly and said, "I'm sorry, company commander, my fingers are stiff from killing Japanese soldiers. I misfired."
"If there's another misfire, I'll shoot you too." Xia Yuan snorted coldly.
"No, they will be killed this time." The veteran pulled the bolt again, stepped forward, and aimed the muzzle of the gun, which was emitting residual heat, at Old Man Wang's head, "Brother, I'm sorry, this is what the company commander meant,
If you go to hell, don't blame me for killing you."
Feeling the heat from the gun's muzzle, Old Man Wang fell limp on the ground, "Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, let me go, I will fight, I will fight the Japanese devils to the death."
The monkey trembled and said: "Xia Yuan, for the sake of our fellow countrymen, if you are given a chance, we will definitely kill more Japanese devils and avenge our brothers."
"It's not to avenge us, it's to avenge you, bastards. When the landlords and rich men oppressed you, you dared to resist. Why did you give up when you got to the battlefield?"
Xia Yuan strode forward, put his foot on Old Man Wang, and said viciously: "I'll give you one last chance, veteran. You lead your men and watch them. The Japanese are coming. Let them stand in front."
"Hey." The veteran put away the gun, pulled out the bullet, and threw it to the soldier behind him called Gouwazi. Then he pulled Old Wang up, looked at Old Wang's old appearance, and exclaimed: "He is actually an old fool.
Company Commander, we should just shoot people like this. Once they reach the front line, they probably won’t be able to kill even a single Japanese soldier, and we will still be wasting our bullets.”
"The old fool is useful too. When the Japanese tank comes, tie a grenade to him and tell him to get out of the tank." Xia Yuan sneered.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay."
Ten minutes later, the soldiers on the frontline reconnaissance brought back important news.
The Japanese used tanks, four tanks, rushing over from two directions, followed by a large number of infantry, at least one squadron.
There were more than 200 Japanese soldiers in a squadron, and there were only about 50 soldiers left in the new company. Everyone had no idea how to resist this wave of Japanese attacks, so they looked at their company commander.
Xia Yuan faced the corpses of the soldiers on the ground and said: "I am a hero in life, and a hero in death. The little Japanese want to invade our homeland, and I will never agree, even if I die in battle."
He looked around at the remaining soldiers. Some of the dark faces had a childishness that had not faded away, while others had firmness in their scarlet eyes.
Their fists were clenched and they looked at their company commander with fervor.
"Company commander, we listen to you."
"Fight them!"
"We cannot let the little Japs occupy our home."
Their voices were deafening.
The mind begins to awaken.
Faced with such huge sacrifices, no one chose to retreat, but all chose to move forward.
Xia Yuan's eyes were full of admiration. He looked into the distance and saw the shaking figure of the Japanese army. There was a slight tremor on the ground.
The Japs are coming.
The Japanese came very suddenly, and everyone quickly started looking for bunkers.
There are more than fifty people, and the strength is less than two platoons. Platoon Leader Li did not come with him. The soldier who took over the position of Platoon Leader Li has died. Most of the soldiers in the platoon have died in the battle. Three platoons merged into two platoons.
, which actually did not have enough troops for two platoons, they were divided into left and right groups and stood on both sides of the position respectively.
Xia Yuan attacked from the flank with a small force.
A firefight is imminent,
The Japanese infantry had tanks, which were like an indestructible sword that penetrated directly and was invincible.
Xia Yuan led the flanking team and touched the flank of the Japanese army. When he saw the Japanese infantry and the rampaging tanks, he put the gun on his back and said, "Two fools, two fools, grenades."
The idiot carrying a box of grenades ran over from behind panting and placed it on the ground.
"Company Commander, I brought it here for you."
"There will be a fight later, so don't run around."
"Company commander, what should I do with the Japanese tank? This thing looks bigger than the previous tank."
The tank that the idiot mentioned was the crispy tank of the Japanese that he encountered earlier on the 51st Division's position. He only used a cluster grenade to blow up the crispy tank of the Japanese, but this tank
It looks much larger than the previous tank, and looks more durable than the previous tank.
"Medium-sized tank, cluster grenade is difficult to blast through the defense of this iron bastard. At most, it can only damage, but cannot destroy."
The defense of a medium tank is far greater than that of a light tank. Relying on cluster grenades cannot blow through the defense of this thing. However, if you can destroy its tracks and make it difficult to move, the method can still be used.
The threat from Japanese tanks was too great for them, especially the light and heavy machine gun fire positions.
Xia Yuan decided to take action immediately.
The crossfire formed by the machine gun firepower of the newly formed company position was shattered under the bombardment of Japanese tanks. Before Niu Qian was sacrificed, the platoon he led was quickly destroyed by the Japanese machine gun firepower and the suppression of tanks.
existence, the entire position has been devastated.
Japanese tanks are still moving forward.
The two sides were already engaged in battle, and the infantry in front was using rifles to fire violently at the tanks. The bullets hit the tanks, making a clanging sound and ricocheting around with flying sparks.
"Platoon commander, open the Japanese tank defenses."
"Damn it, this iron bastard has thick skin and thick flesh, so he needs to use cluster grenades."
"Cluster grenades cannot explode. They have to be exploded from the chassis. Its chassis is very thin."
In the second row position, the veteran and his men frantically blocked the Japanese army. They were unable to break through the Japanese tank defenses, and the infantry behind them pressed heavily on the enemy. The front position was basically undefendable.
The veteran put away his rifle, looked at Old Man Wang and the monkey, and said, "Tie grenades on them."
When Old Man Wang and Monkey heard this, they were trembling all over. They were pushed to the ground by two soldiers, and their waists were wrapped with ropes and tied with a ring of grenades.
"Platoon commander, please spare your life. For the sake of Captain Xia, please let us go once. We will fight the Japanese with our guns."
Old Man Wang finally realized his fear, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he looked very frightened.
"You still have the nerve to mention Captain Xia, he is a well-deserved God of War, and all of yours are deserters, how can you have the nerve to mention Captain Xia!"
The veteran looked angry, put his foot on Old Wang, and said viciously: "Gouwazi, we will push them out later. When the time comes, we will face the Japanese guns and see if they can resist."
"Platoon leader, I'm here to watch, don't worry." Gouwazi said, patting his chest.
"Tie it up for me too." The veteran put down his gun and continued.
"Platoon leader!"
"Tie it up!"
The veteran's eyes were cold, "I have been fighting with the company commander for such a long time, and the people around me have died and been injured. If the Japanese tanks have to blow up, someone has to go, and I want to go there myself."
Several soldiers squatted on the ground, clutching the rifles in their hands.
"Platoon leader, let's go too!"
"Oh, it's not your turn yet." The veteran thought of Niu Qian. Niu Qian was sacrificed under Japanese artillery fire. When they finally gathered, they could not come out and their bodies were not found. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but
It's probably about the same.
Among the old subordinates who were chasing the company commander, Er Lengzi and himself were the only ones left, the others were all "new recruits".
To a new company, they are new recruits.
"I'll give you a sample." The veteran tightened the grenades on his body, grabbed a bunch of them in his arms, hugged them tightly, looked back at Old Man Wang and the monkey, sneered, stood up and rushed out of the bunker.
His back was filled with determination, and the soldiers behind him were holding up half of their bodies, looking at the figure.
The veteran and Xia Yuan fought many battles on the battlefield and learned a lot of Xia Yuan's superb combat experience, especially in guerrilla warfare. He learned the most, but he only learned about form. You must know Xia Yuan's guerrilla warfare.
, on the one hand, relying on the ability to identify positions by hearing sounds, he has superhuman hearing. On a battlefield where cannons are roaring, he can choose to listen lightly to the sound of cannons, and focus on listening to footsteps and voices.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He could hear the footsteps of the Yankees running in the trenches quite clearly.
What's more, it's the voice of a soldier speaking.
Secondly, his powerful eagle eye gives him the ability to conduct remote surveillance. The actions of the Japanese soldiers and the complex situation of the positions can be deeply imprinted in his mind after watching them again and again.
The veteran does not have these abilities. This time he charged forward with the determination to die.
The Japanese infantry followed the tanks and rampaged through the streets and alleys. The attack was quite fierce. The veterans hid in the ruins, waiting for opportunities. When the Japanese tanks appeared in front of them, the veterans quickly attacked and jumped out from behind the bunker.
Rush towards the Japanese tanks.
"Chinese!"
"shooting!"
When the Japanese saw the veteran rushing over, their reaction speed was not slow. They quickly took out their guns and shot at the veteran. The bullets passed through both sides of his body and hit the ground behind him.
The bullet penetrated the soil, bounced off the rocks, and hit the charred corpse on the ground. Black blood flowed from the corpse.
The hit on the veteran's body was like a burst of blood, blooming, and the veteran rolled down under the Japanese tank. He endured the severe pain in his body and fired the grenade in his arms.
There was a loud bang, the tank shook suddenly, and billowing black smoke rose from the chassis of the tank.
The Japanese infantrymen who were very close to the tank were blown away by the terrible shock wave and lay on the ground uncertain whether they were alive or dead.
Some were not quite dead yet, lying on the ground moaning in pain.
"Platoon leader!"
Seeing this scene, the soldiers in the second row were stunned, but they saw that the tank was making a roaring sound, and the damaged chain was still turning, trying to start moving again.
Two more soldiers from the second row rushed forward with grenades in their arms. Unfortunately, before they could reach the Japanese soldiers, they were shot to death by the Japanese soldiers who were prepared.
