It was dawn, but the sky was still shrouded in thick smoke and lingering dust, making it dark.
Maogu Village was completely reduced to ruins. On the dim battlefield, the broken bricks and tiles were still smoking, and the charred remains and broken bones were half-hidden in the black and red floating soil.
The brothers, covered in tatters and blackened, were holding their rifle butts on their shoulders, vigilantly clearing away the remaining enemies in the dark ruins.
A remnant Japanese soldier with his face covered in dust and blood leaned on the broken wall and gasped for breath. Through the smoke, he saw the Chinese soldiers who were searching for him.
There were no bullets in his 38-meter rifle. He lay down and took out three blood-stained bullets from the pocket of the half-cut corpse and pressed them into the chamber. He raised the rifle tremblingly and pulled the trigger into the distance.
"Snapped!"
The 38 rifle trembled, and the shock of the collision made the injured Japanese almost unable to hold the rifle, and the bullets flew high.
The sound of gunfire alerted the Chinese soldiers who were searching for the remnants of the enemy. They shouted and hurriedly took cover, while the returning bullets flew over densely.
"Puff! Puff!" The sound of bullets entering flesh rang out, and the hot bullets penetrated the wounded Japanese soldier's arm. His hand holding the Sanba dropped weakly, his face full of pain.
But he was particularly unwilling to do so and wanted to grab the only remaining melon grenade. The sound of heavy footsteps sounded, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at the injured Japanese.
"Bang!" A short, powerful, dull gunshot rang out. The bullet cut off most of the devil's head, blood spattered, and white and red brains gurgled out.
A brother reached out and picked up the melon grenade from the dead Japanese soldier, wiped the blood on it, hung it on himself silently, then turned around and continued to search for the remaining enemies in depth.
"Have you found Deputy Commander Yang and the others?"
Standing among the dim building debris, the group leader Zhang Handuo had an anxious and impatient look on his face.
After a night of fighting by their troops, most of the Japanese soldiers who were stationed in Maogu Village were wiped out. The battle went surprisingly smoothly. Zhang Handuo knew that the main reason for this was that Yang Ling and the others killed the Japanese command post, which caused the Japanese to fall into a trap for a while.
confusion.
But now that the Japanese have been annihilated and Maogu Village has been successfully captured, Yang Ling and the others are still alive and dead. This makes him unhappy at all. He is eager to find Yang Ling and the others. He does not want to lose a brave and resourceful deputy regiment.
long.
"Commander, don't be anxious. Deputy Yang and the others will be fine." The combat staff comforted him from the side.
The entire Maogu Village was reduced to rubble. Yang Ling and the others turned the inside of Maogu Village upside down. Can the Japanese spare them? Although Yang Ling was powerful, Zhang Handuo was really unsure.
"Go and send a message to Battalion Commander Lu in person. I want to see you alive, and you want to see your body when I die!" Zhang Handuo, the regiment leader, told the combat staff.
"yes!"
The combat staff sighed in his heart, turned around and headed straight for the frontline search company.
Although Yang Ling and the others caused great disturbance in the Japs' den, after finally occupying a courtyard, the Japs were repelled several times and suffered heavy losses.
Finally, the furious Japanese captain brought in a grenade and launched a fierce bombardment at the courtyard occupied by Yang Ling and others in an attempt to kill them. The entire courtyard collapsed and turned into ruins.
Yang Ling and the others had already retreated into the cellar of this family to take shelter during the Japanese bombing, but in the end the house collapsed and they were buried inside.
The Japanese thought that Yang Ling and the others had been killed, so they didn't bother too much. In addition, Zhang Handuo and the others from the outside launched a fierce attack and turned around to support the battle, allowing Yang Ling and the others to escape by chance.
First Battalion Commander Lu Xing, who was covered in smoke and blackened by smoke, stepped on the rubble with a shell gun and shouted loudly: "Open your eyes and search carefully! The regimental leader said! If you are alive, you will see the person! If you die, you will see the corpse!"
Yang Ling once led the entire regiment for winter training as the deputy commander. Although he was extremely strict during the training, he was surprisingly easy-going in private. He did not take free money, was not greedy for money, and was brave in battle, which earned him the respect of his brothers.
Now Yang Ling destroyed the Japanese command post, allowing his brothers to sweep away the Japanese soldiers who had lost their command without any effort. They suffered few casualties, so they were naturally grateful to Yang Ling, so they worked hard to find Yang Ling and the others, not wanting anything to happen to them.
"Is there anyone alive outside? We are here!"
Shunzi and the others were crowded in the dark cellar. The entrance to the cellar was blocked by collapsed debris and they became trapped animals. They had to shout at the top of their lungs until they became hoarse.
A brother heard a faint sound coming from under his feet and hurriedly squatted down, and soon heard Shunzi's cry clearly.
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, they are here!" the brother shouted excitedly.
The brothers who were searching around all gathered around, and just in time to hear Shunzi yelling curses below, the first battalion commander Lu Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shunzi! How are you!" Lu Xing lay on the ground and shouted downwards.
Shunzi became excited when he heard the response. It was really not a good feeling to be buried in the lonely and dark underground. He hurriedly shouted: "Captain Lu, please get us out quickly. One of our brothers is injured."
"Please be patient for a moment, and we will save you right now!" First Battalion Commander Lu Xing hurriedly ordered the brothers to hurriedly start digging the buried cellar.
The leader of the group, Zhang Handuo, also got the news and rushed over. With the help of everyone, Yang Ling and the others finally saw the light of day again.
"Damn it, I wasn't killed by the Japanese. I almost died from being suffocated in there."
Shunzi breathed in the air outside, her face filled with joy of surviving the disaster.
Seeing that Yang Ling and the others were intact, the brothers around them cheered loudly, and Shunzi was even lifted up and thrown into the sky.
"Put me down...ah!" Shunzi was thrown up by the excited brothers, and he screamed in fright.
Seeing that the veteran company commander covered in mud and blood was so afraid of heights, the brothers would let him go and cheer and throw him up to celebrate the victory of Maogu Village.
"Brother Yang, I really have you, I thought you were honored!" Zhang Handuo walked up to Yang Ling and punched him hard in the chest, his face full of joy.
Yang Ling also laughed: "I still want to fight the little Japanese out of China. How can it be so easy to be glorious?" He enjoyed this feeling of surviving a disaster.
"The brigade commander praised our group again. All this is your credit. Come on, I got two bottles of good wine from the military supply department. Let us brothers have a good drink and celebrate!"
The regiment leader Zhang Handuo was very happy. Not only had Maogu Village been captured with few casualties, but Yang Ling was still alive and they could fight side by side again.
Yang Ling waved his hand and said: "The battle is not over yet. Drinking now will cause trouble. Let's drink after the battle."
Zhang Handuo put his arms around Yang Ling's shoulders and said, "Brother Yang, our regiment captured Maogu Village. We are very tired these days. The brigade ordered us to rest where we are."
"What about the main Japs in Sanyi Village and Luowang Village?"
"You don't know yet, in addition to our 74th Army, there are several friendly brigades approaching, enough for the Japanese to drink a pot. Now we only need to drink and watch the show. The Japanese are like grasshoppers after autumn.
, I won’t be able to bounce around for a few more days.”
