Chapter five hundred and seventy-six round battle (eight)
A Japanese attack broke into the position guarded by Qin Shou and the others. If the brothers of the secret service company had not taken action at the critical moment to repel the Japanese, the position would have fallen.
The new recruits who had been scattered on the battlefield were gathered together. Every one of them was covered in gunpowder smoke, dust, and blood stains, and looked downcast.
They marched every day in the safe and stable rear area, shouting to resist Japan and save the country, with high enthusiasm and passionate worship. It seemed that they could drive the little devils out of China just by relying on their slogans.
Their march was supported by people from all walks of life. Every time they walked through the streets with their heads high and their chests high, the people on both sides of the street would applaud them loudly, making them shout even harder. It seemed that this slogan had endless meanings.
It's magical and fascinates them.
Their marches and chants did not change the situation on the frontline, which was getting worse every day. Although the frontline troops fought bloody battles on every battlefield, they were still retreating steadily in the face of well-equipped and well-trained Japanese troops.
The defeat on the front line made these passionate youths who chanted slogans furious. They denounced the Communist Party and the army's incompetence, and even lost most of China in a short period of time.
Marching and shouting slogans every day could no longer satisfy their enthusiasm to serve the country. With extremely inflated self-confidence, they asked to join the army to fight against the Japanese invaders in person, so that those troops who only knew how to defeat the Japanese could see what real resistance against the Japanese meant.
But when they actually went to the battlefield in person, faced with the dilapidated ruins and the stench of broken limbs, they realized that the cruelty of war was not as easy as they took it for granted.
Although many of them wanted to retreat, they were unwilling to become deserters in such a dejected manner. They could only bite the bullet and go to the battlefield. As long as they shot and killed the Japanese, they fulfilled their vow to resist Japan with practical actions.
You won't feel guilty anymore.
But when they were lying in the trenches, facing the screaming shells and the whizzing bullets, their legs became weak.
Although the veterans have told them that this is just a very easy battle, there is nothing to worry about compared to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the past. They just need to fight step by step.
However, the recruits were still terrified, and the hands holding the rifles were trembling. When facing the Japanese soldiers who were howling and rushing up like ferocious beasts, their fear and fear were infinitely magnified.
Although the veterans had allowed them to practice shooting during the week-long training at Wushimen, but now faced with the booming explosions and bullets flying everywhere, they had completely forgotten all their shooting skills.
Fear and fear make them shoot the bullets in the gun barrel at all costs in order to find a sense of security.
However, the bullets fired in a panic either missed high or flew to nowhere, but the fierce and ferocious Japs still rushed towards them unaffected.
The devil with a fierce look on his face is so ferocious and terrifying, like a beast emerging from the black mist, capable of tearing people to pieces and devouring them.
The recruits who were under tremendous pressure collapsed, completely ignoring the cries and stops of the veterans in the trenches, and forgetting the passionate vows they made during the expedition. They stumbled around and ran away. They just wanted to live and escape from this purgatory of death.
battlefield.
In a company where most of the recruits are new recruits, the collapse and escape of one recruit is like the last straw that breaks the nervousness of the rest of the recruits. The chain reaction caused is terrible and catastrophic.
The new recruits were all running away. Although the veterans tried their best to stop them, it had no effect. In the end, they had no choice but to let them run away. However, the veterans cursed and turned around to meet the Japanese. They fought bloody battles with the Japanese, using their own bodies.
If you stop the Japanese, you are already prepared to die.
The brothers from the secret service company arrived in time, and the Japanese were repulsed. The gunshots on the battlefield were still taunting, and from time to time, cold artillery attacks fell on the position and stirred up a cloud of black mud.
The newly recruited soldiers who had gathered back stood in the trenches with dejected expressions. They were in a miserable state, and many of them were still frightened.
Seeing the corpses of veterans being carried past them one after another, and looking at the bloody and broken bodies, the recruits lowered their heads in shame, filled with guilt.
If they had been braver and followed the orders of the veterans and stayed in the trenches, perhaps the Japanese would not have been able to break into the position so easily, but they ran away in fear, leaving countless gaps in the defense line.
The Japanese jumped into the trenches easily and slaughtered their comrades wantonly. All these bloody consequences were caused by their cowardice and cowardice, and self-blame was of no use.
At this moment, they suddenly realized that marching and shouting slogans all day in the stable rear area was so ridiculous, and it was so ignorant to ridicule and denounce the soldiers on the front line. If these frontline troops had not fought bloody battles, they would not have a foothold in the huge China.
place.
Looking at the silent new recruits with their heads drooped and their guilty expressions, the deputy battalion commander Qin Shou, whose face was covered in blood, wanted to scold them severely, scold them for their cowardice, and even wanted to shoot them.
But he held back, because many veterans had sacrificed their lives, and now any scolding and punishment were meaningless. The war was still going on, and as an officer, he had to lead these newly defeated recruits to continue fighting.
"Keep your head up!"
Qin Shou roared with some hatred. The performance of the new recruits disappointed him, and the sacrifice of the veteran brothers made him feel heavy. They were all brothers who fought side by side, and they were just gone.
"I told you to raise your heads!" Seeing the recruits still lowering their heads, Qin Shou couldn't help roaring.
The recruits felt the anger in Qin Shou's roar. They raised their heads with guilt on their faces, but they did not dare to look at Qin Shou.
Qin Shou pointed to the corpses of the veterans covered in blood, with a face full of grief and anger: "They are all brothers who have gone through countless bloody battles with me. We have survived countless bullets and bullets together! But today they died trying to teach you how to fight.
In the hands of the devil..."
Qin Shou wiped his tearful eyes and continued: "I don't blame you! Because it's your first time on the battlefield, because you are recruits fighting for the first time. I will record this blood debt on the heads of the Japanese! But I
I hope you will realize your shame and be brave, cheer up your spirit, pick up the gun in your hand, and recover this blood debt from the Japanese! Can you do it?!"
"Can you do it?!" Qin Shou loudly asked the guilty recruits.
"able!"
The recruits answered with loud voices and their eyes became firmer than ever before. Although Qin Shou did not blame them, it made them blame themselves even more because they knew that the sacrifices of the veterans were inseparable from them.
Now Qin Shou gives them the opportunity to atone for their crimes. The guilt and self-blame in their hearts prevent them from retreating. They want to take revenge for the sacrificed veterans, otherwise they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.
During the difficult years when the army was short of recruits, countless recruits without any battlefield experience were hurriedly added to the army in order to teach them how to fight and how to survive to protect their home and country.
Countless veterans have set an example, and many have sacrificed their lives, but their sacrifices have taught the new recruits how to grow, allowing the new recruits to transform into veterans in bloody battles, and continue to use their bodies to protect the motherland behind them.
