Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Defending Wuhan

Wuhan, early morning. When the war was approaching, northern soldiers saw the Yangtze River for the first time and enjoyed the tranquility of the river very much.In Lao Dan's opinion, compared with the small ditch-like Daizi River beside Banzi Village in his hometown, the Yangtze River is simply too stunning and magnificent.In the early morning, the river mist overflowed the frontier positions and attached heavily to people.Some waterfowl skimmed low over the river, their wingtips making ripples on the water.The clouds in the east were gradually dyed orange-red, gradually brighter and brighter, and turned golden yellow.In the distance where the sky and water are connected, the red sun is the size of a washbasin, slowly poking out of the horizon, rising slowly, becoming more and more dazzling, and finally radiating light that soars into the sky.The dense fog began to dissipate, and the winding river appeared more and more clearly in front of us.

Lao Dan and his comrades were deeply intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, while smoking, while leisurely moving their stiff limbs, you commented on each other.I can't believe this is actually a battlefield. "The morning sun in my house is even bigger than this, and the whole crop field is red... It's just that there is no such big water vapor!" "Did you miss it? Your house is on the west side of the mountain. When you were resting and working, what you saw was the sudden sun." "Little Six didn't miss it, he and his friend must have spent the night on the top of the mountain, and in the morning they were exposed to the sun."

Everyone roared with laughter, and Lao Dan laughed so hard that his mouth was almost burned by a cigarette. "Don't listen to his nonsense, Shi Tongzi's family lives in a cave dwelling, and they only dig in shady places. They don't go to the ground in the morning, and don't go home at night. They go to fool around with the widows in their village. The sun in my house is bigger than this!" "Old company commander, why do you think the devil's flag looks like the sun? Do they see it every day?" I don't know where Japan is, whether it is east, west, north, south, on the sea or on the mountains, Lao Dan is confused.He was really stumped by this question, but his mind was spinning quite quickly, remembering that when he was working in the field and twisted his waist, the dog skin plaster that a woman bought for him was quite similar to the Japanese flag, so he pouted. Chin nonsense said:

"I guess the Japanese devils' waists are not good. It's probably because they have had too many days. Men and women each have dog skin plasters on their waists. If there are too many plasters, they will be put on the flags as signs." Everyone was teased and turned forward and backward.There were two brothers whose wounds were not healed and smiled while pressing the wounds, crying out the pain while laughing.Most soldiers have no more knowledge than Lao Dan, so some people still believe this nonsense. "Don't be afraid, little devils are so short. My father said, if you follow a woman every day, you will be rickety early, and your baby will not grow much! There is a ball for plastering?"

In the end, the injured brother's wounds were still teased by the serious jokes continued by the little six, and there was a lot of laughter on the battlefield.One by one, the soldiers spread the story to the back of the position with embellishments. The laughter one after another made the early morning position full of life, and everyone was temporarily immersed in this rare joy. "Hey, look, there are so many birds flying over from the sun!" a soldier shouted. Lao Dan wiped away the tears from laughing, rubbed his eyes and looked towards the sun. He saw more than a dozen birds gathered together and flew over slowly, high and low. It was really beautiful.Everyone wondered how birds would fly over from the east in this season, and some soldiers even bluffed and prepared to shoot two of them to make soup, but after a while, someone shouted:

"It's an airplane, it's a fucking devil's airplane! Get ready to fight!" Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.Lao Dan looked carefully, and the plaster flag was vaguely recognizable, and a neat formation—twelve planes were flying towards the position, and the terrifying sound of motors could already be heard.There was a sudden panic on the battlefield. Fortunately, many experienced veterans, although flustered, quickly returned to the battle position.Someone at the outpost had already sounded the air raid siren, and the sirens at the rear responded immediately, and the resonant sound from the piercing hand-cranked siren stimulated everyone's nerves.In an instant, the beautiful scenery of the river in the early morning faded away, and the morning glow was like blood, and the entire peripheral position suddenly fell into a tense and deadly atmosphere.

"Tom tom tom..." The anti-aircraft shore artillery fired. "Bang bang bang..." The anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides of the position also began to roar.Clouds of black smoke exploded in the sky, and the trailing machine gun bullets weaved rows of flashing barrages towards the approaching enemy plane. Two enemy planes were hit, one of them was blown up in the sky, sparks were flying, and the other was spinning, dragging black smoke and falling into the river.Other enemy planes passed through Lao Dan's position at high speed, and dropped bombs around the artillery position behind.The soldiers who had just shrunk their heads were cursing when they saw more than 20 enemy planes flying from low altitude, and the white belly of the plane and the funny plaster flag were reflected on the water.The enemy plane dropped a string of black bombs into the river, causing high and low splashes on the surface of the river. The warships that sank in the river were blown to pieces, and the mud at the bottom of the river was overturned.More than 20 enemy planes poured bombs and machine gun bullets on the soldiers' heads, and the position was instantly filled with smoke and dust, and debris flew across.Some machine gun positions were blown away, and some bunkers were blown off half of their heads.The soldiers hid for a while lying on their stomachs in the corner of the trench, and got out again when the first round of planes passed by.Lao Dan saw that the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns on both sides of the position had been blown into twists, several gunners were blown up, and blood was all over the ground.Suddenly, puffs of thick smoke rolled up from the water. Lao Dan guessed that the Japanese army detonated the blocked mines on the river. In the distance, Japanese warships were already approaching.

Soon, the heavy artillery on the Japanese ship also fired in this direction, and the densely packed barrels emitted a flash of firecrackers.Immediately, a series of explosions sounded on the battlefield, and the flames burst into the sky for a while.The only few trees in the position were blown up so that their branches flew around, and then ignited a raging fire.The cyclone created by the artillery shells made it difficult for the soldiers to breathe, and the scorching wind mixed with the smell of explosives and steel brushed across their faces like a knife.The soldiers were so beaten that they just lay down in the trenches and did not dare to show their heads. Lao Dan and his brothers had never experienced such fierce artillery fire. They really regretted that the trenches had not been dug deeper.

The permanent forts on both sides of the river bank are equipped with many large-caliber shore guns, and they are desperately firing at the enemy. The power of a round of salvo is so great that a warship of the enemy fleet is blown into a fireball.The Japanese planes rushed towards the fort crazily immediately, and the machine gunners tried their best to protect them, but many of them were still bombed by enemy planes, and the power of the concentrated bombardment soon weakened.The Japanese ship concentrated its large-caliber guns and continued to bombard the fort, and the sound of the fort finally faded away.Behind the position, several machine gunners strafed the planes in the sky, but the enemy's planes were too fast and the bombs were extremely accurate. Instead, they were smashed to pieces by two dive planes, and then disappeared in the flames of a bomb.

The soldiers who were struggling in terror heard a burst of cheers from behind.Lao Dan boldly stretched out his neck to look, and saw more than 20 national army planes painted with blue sky and white sun flags spraying bullets and chasing the fat Japanese bombers. The small plane shot down an enemy plane.The Japanese escort fighter jets no longer strafed the national army's positions, but instead entangled with the national army's fighter jets. Some national army warships and small torpedo boats came at high speed from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and rushed towards the approaching Japanese warships at high speed.The warships of the national army began to bombard the Japanese ships with heavy artillery from the side. Some torpedo boats that rushed towards the Japanese ships were immediately hit by the opponent's artillery fire, and disappeared on the river after a spin.The remaining torpedo boats were still moving forward at high speed. Seeing this, the two Japanese planes swooped down on these boats from behind, ignoring the national army planes biting their tails.Two torpedo boats were hit, and the exploding torpedoes blew up the boats.Lao Dan vaguely saw the people on the boat flying into the air more than ten meters before falling heavily into the river.The attacking Japanese plane was immediately smashed by the national army plane, and fell into the river with flames.The last torpedo boat was very lucky, and even rushed through the barrage fired by the Japanese gunboat. Amid the cheers of the soldiers, it spit out two black and long black torpedoes, dragged water and rushed towards the Japanese ship that was turning around.I saw two huge flames rising suddenly. After the red light passed, the side of a huge Japanese ship was blasted, and half of the warship was blown up so that the iron sheets were rolled up, and the cannons flew randomly.The violent explosion rolled the cannons on the warship up into the sky, and a big wave poured into the hollow hull, quickly dragging the warship to the bottom of the water.The warship's buttocks pointed to the sky, raised its tall rudder and propeller, and stood straight on the black smoke-shrouded water. It is estimated that the overturned warship had already touched the bottom of the river.

The soldiers cheered loudly, but soon they were pressed back into the trenches by the artillery fire from other Japanese ships.Two warships of the national army were bombed by Japanese planes, one was sinking, and many people were swimming to the shore.Several planes that rushed towards the Japanese ship were shot down by the Japanese ship's anti-aircraft guns. The Japanese warship clearly had the upper hand. While firing the guns, they slowly drove towards the river in front of the defensive position. Rows of rectangular landing craft had already driven over behind them. .Suddenly there were more than 20 Japanese planes in the sky, and half of the shore artillery of the national army was knocked out in only half an hour.Due to the long range, most of the shells fired from the rear fell into the river.There are not many national army planes left in the sky, and they are fighting with the Japanese planes with a disadvantage of one enemy and three. A whistle sounded in the position, which was an order requiring everyone to enter the position.The gunfire of the six Japanese ships lined up and poured shells in turn, and the position turned into a purgatory!Even so, the soldiers risked their lives and entered the shooting position, and began to adjust the shooting elements, ready to fire.While commanding everyone to enter the position, Lao Dan watched the enemy's situation through the binoculars.The landing craft of the Japanese army had bypassed various obstacles and approached the flat river bank. The caliber of the machine gun on the landing craft was not small, and instantly killed an engineering platoon retreating from the front.The devils jumped into the water like dumplings, and started to go ashore with the sun flag.The enemy planes swooped down and strafed the forward position in stages. Without the hindrance of the national army planes, their shooting was astonishingly accurate, and almost every round of dives would never fail.Lao Dan had never fought such a defensive battle before. The planes in the sky were so noisy that people didn't even bother to aim.Many machine gunners set up machine guns to fight the planes, but they were strictly ordered to stop, and the limited ammunition was reserved for the devils who went ashore. The heavy artillery battalion began to bombard the devils charging towards the river bank.The soldiers opened fire, and the devil was just within the best range of the rifle. The devil had no place to hide except to charge, so the casualties were heavy.But the devil's second round of landing troops came up immediately. Many of their mortars and grenadiers effectively suppressed the shooting of the national army with only limited firepower. The shells and grenades fell precisely in the trenches of the national army , Let the soldiers be terrified. The fighting level of the Devil Artillery is too high.For the mortar crews in Lao Dan's company, only two or three out of ten shells can hit the target. Compared with the 70% to 80% accuracy of the Devil's artillery, it is simply heaven and earth.Seeing the devil get up and get closer, the soldiers all gritted their teeth and shot against the artillery fire.Hundreds of devils howled loudly, suddenly accelerated their charge, and reached the front of the first trench in the blink of an eye.This actually aroused the determination of the soldiers.Old Dan ignored the threat of planes and cannons, commanding everyone to shoot condescendingly. He also picked up his rifle, aimed at a devil carrying a flag, and shot him through the stomach.The three heavy machine guns on the ground were all veterans, and all of them fired long bursts, knocking down the devils who approached one after another.Although these six companies have not undergone systematic training for a long time, because they are led by many veterans who have fought for many years, all of them are quite accurate in marksmanship. A devil has come to stand in front of the position.According to the new direction indicated, the artillery fire from the heavy artillery battalion blew up the devils crowded in front of the formation, and the enemy's mortar position was also destroyed.The riverside was splashed with mud and sand, and the bomb craters were densely covered. The devil was a little dazed by the beating, and began to move forward hesitantly.In front of the unobstructed position, bullets flew across and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Most of the devil officers who rushed to the front were beaten into honeycombs, and layers of devil corpses were piled up in front of the position. Lao Dan's company also suffered heavy damage from the bombardment of the devil's ship and the strafing of the aircraft. The two young soldiers beside him were already lying in a pool of blood, and the trenches were covered with blood.After another concentrated strafing and bombing by the enemy planes, the blocking firepower of the national army weakened, and the sound of the artillery was sparse. It is estimated that the extended bombing of the Japanese planes destroyed many heavy artillery pieces.At this time, the second echelon of the devils went ashore again, mixed with the devils who were already lying in front of the position, ran around to adjust their deployment, and began to rush up again. Without the cover of artillery, the pressure on the position was too great.The devils charged and shot, mortars and grenades, and even flamethrowers came up.The first trench was immediately engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, which was the position of the first squad.Lao Dan saw dozens of devils raining grenades into their trenches. Amidst a series of explosions, the soldiers were immediately overwhelmed by fire dragons. Before they could even cry out, they melted in the flames for coke. Lao Dan was stunned by the tragic scene in front of him, watching the enemy rushing up across the first trench, he forgot to hide for a moment.A bullet slid across his forehead with a whistling sound, and he felt a burst of scald like being burned by a red fire hook. The bullet cut a big hole in his scalp, accompanied by severe pain, blood flowed down immediately. One eye is blurred.It is estimated that the bullet hit the bone, and he could no longer hear the sound in both ears.When the medical soldiers bandaged him, he saw Shi Tongzi, a Shaanxi veteran, fighting with a few devils who had rushed to the front of the formation. Shi Tongzi had lost an arm, and he grabbed the devil's hair with his left hand, biting like a wolf. Smashed his throat.A large piece of flesh was missing from the devil's neck, and blood spurted out of Lao Gao.At the last moment, Shi Tongzi, who had been beaten into a sieve, jumped at the other devils and rang the grenade on his body. The second trench is in danger!The devil stepped on countless corpses and attacked upwards. The flashing bayonet and the devil's ferocious face reminded Lao Dan of the bloody scene on the bank of the Yellow River.The devil's grenade had already been thrown on the battlefield, and the angry Lao Dan tore off the bandage on his head, and shouted to the comrades in the trench who were desperately resisting: "Brothers, slaughter Japanese pigs with me!" Lao Dan naturally yelled out the catchphrase used by fellow villagers, as if this bland catchphrase gave him infinite strength.I saw him jumping out of the ditch with a wild roar, covered in smoke and blood, and holding the sharp Japanese saber in his hand, he threw himself at the enemy viciously.Seeing him kill the general, all the soldiers spurted blood and jumped out of the trench shouting in unison. Some took off their shirts, and some raised their machine guns.But the devils were not intimidated by them, and shouted with all their strength to meet them. The sound of bayonets and knives cutting into the human body immediately rang out. On this narrow riverside, more than a thousand people from both sides started the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.The soldiers of the two armies regarded death as home, the swords of the national army were slashed, and the bayonets of the devils were twisted, and the scenes of both dying together can be seen everywhere.The artillery fire from both sides stopped firing each other, and the enemy planes stopped firing. In the sky and the earth, only the cruel and ferocious cries of these desperate soldiers could be heard, echoing on the blood-stained riverside... Waves of warm air rose from the beautiful river, smelling like blood.A lone wild goose screamed in the sky, was frightened by the flames of war and had nowhere to hide. It only uttered a frightened long cry, cast a last look at its homeland, and fled from the bloody river. On the river bank, the two armies were still fighting fiercely.All kinds of bright weapons were waving up and down, and both sides in the melee struggled to pierce each other's body with their weapons, or gouged out the other's eyes, or bit the other's neck, or hit the other's head with stones, sending out bursts of wild beasts. howling.The corpses had been piled up like a mountain, the broken limbs were scattered on the sand, and the heads were kicked back and forth by the random feet.The big slope on the bank of the river has been stained with blood into a huge red fan, and the blood trickles into the Yangtze River.The blood color of the vast Yangtze River is getting thicker and thicker. Countless bomb-killed fish float on the surface of the river, soaking their belly upside down in the blood-red river water, next to the corpses of countless dead people, and slowly drifting downstream... After all, the devils are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they encounter the tenacious resistance of this gang of desperate national troops. In this fight with the theme of mutual destruction, the devils have exhausted a lot.The national army also suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of the six companies guarding the position had been consumed.Lao Dan was stabbed in the back during the melee, and a piece of flesh was taken off his thigh by the bayonet. Fortunately, the wound was not deep.The devil who stabbed him did not escape bad luck, and was smashed in the head with the butt of a gun by a brother who stabbed him obliquely.A sharp devil saw Lao Dan slashing and killing with a Japanese saber, a little baffled, and became Lao Dan's ghost while still in a daze. Inexplicably died.Lao Dan was red-eyed, he guessed that the lives of seven or eight devils would be charged to his account.He took a moment to look at the knife, the blade was still as sharp as ever, and he couldn't help but be thankful that Captain Mazi really gave him a good knife. Just as the number of devils was decreasing, the commander of the fifth company with a bandage on his head shouted: "Kill all the devils!" The soldiers cheered up their exhausted bodies, shouted loudly, and drove the remaining devils to the bottom together, and Lao Dan also brandished his sword to kill bravely. Cannon!The soldiers never expected that the artillery fire that had been silent for half an hour would start at this moment! A dazzling white light swept across the river, and there was the muffled sound of naval guns in the distance.The artillery fire of the Devil Fleet suddenly opened fire in unison, and the shells rained down on the position.The soldiers who rushed to the front in full force just had time to be stunned, and died in the fierce flames.They didn't have time to retreat to the trenches at all. The huge explosion pressure pushed many soldiers and devils into the sky together. Many people were instantly crushed to death by the huge shock wave of the shells. The sharp and hot shrapnel was tearing their bodies apart, and before they could feel the pain, they closed their eyes forever.The flame-throwing hand that the devil retreated was also hit, and the flames of the explosion engulfed dozens of people there. Whether it was the devil or the national army, their dying cries were the same. Lao Dan was blown to the other side of the trench by the blast, and plunged into the hot soil.In a semi-conscious state, he felt holes all over his body, bleeding from every hole, and he couldn't tell which wound made him feel so painful.In a daze, he couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead, whether he was in a dream or in reality.He tried to prop himself up on his arms, but they didn't work at all, both arms were severely burned by the gunfire, and one arm was dislocated and twisted into the back.The blast wave almost flattened his chest, and he had to pant desperately to be able to breathe. There was only a huge monotonous reverberation in his ears, and he couldn't even hear his own violent coughing.He murmured to himself: Am I dying?Am I really going to die?Lao Dan struggled to prop up his body with his head, and struggled to move to the edge of the ditch like a snake.The scene he saw in front of him made him unforgettable all his life: a battlefield of flesh and blood, a piece of bright red land, layers of limbs emitting green smoke, as if they were still wriggling.Black and red blood scabs and piles of sand were scattered around the eyes, and it was already hard to tell who was a comrade in arms and who was a devil. When they reported to Lord Yan, they had no characteristics.Several ghosts with missing arms and legs were struggling to crawl back. Lao Dan instinctively picked up a rifle with his still conscious left hand and tried to shoot at them, but he couldn't hit them anyway. The huge recoil of the rifle hurt himself. . "I fuck your mother..." A long howl sounded, it was the little six son covered in blood.Lao Dan saw that he was almost stripped naked by the gunfire, and was limping forward.His big blood-red knife was almost broken, and he was still slashing at a few devils who were crawling back.The devil is already dying, so he can only let this crazy naked soldier chop himself into meat paste.Lao Dan knelt by the trench, staring numbly at the little six who had almost lost his mind. The poor boy let his wounds bleed, and he didn't let the dead bodies on the ground go.The living comrades-in-arms also began to look for the devils who were still alive on the ground. As long as they saw any moving ones, they would savagely kill them with a fatal knife. Suddenly, there was a sound of trumpets from behind the position.Lao Dan struggled to look back, only to see a blue, clean flag being held high in the air, and hundreds of reinforcement soldiers in full armor were rushing forward.They quickly entered the position, looking for living comrades while setting up their weapons.Lao Dan suddenly saw the pockmarked commander who was like an iron tower. He stood with a gun, his eyes slowly swept across the battlefield like lightning, and he ordered the soldiers loudly.Several soldiers who looked like schoolchildren were carrying out the comrades who died in the trench while weeping. Many people were vomiting, because they were not carrying living people, but groups of mutilated people whose identities and organs could not be distinguished. torso. Finally, two powerful arms carried Lao Dan, who was almost in shock, onto a stretcher. One bandaged him, and the other wiped the blood from his face.When the stretcher was lifted into the air, Lao Dan suddenly felt a warm current of happiness caressing his scarred body, and tears gushed out.At this moment, he really felt the preciousness of life and the difficulty of surviving.For the first time since joining the army, he felt heroic and genuinely proud of it.He wanted to move, but a sharp pain hit him immediately, the pain made him almost faint.He felt cold again, with such an injury, he wondered if his life could be saved? "Captain!" The choked old Dan shouted with all his strength.The captain turned his head and walked towards him, looking at his injury in surprise.Lao Dan tremblingly pointed to the ground not far away. "Knife!" Following his directions, Commander Mazi picked up the familiar Japanese saber from the pool of blood. "Captain, I killed a lot of devils!" "I know! I see it!" "Head, take the knife, I can't do it!" Seeing that the man who was alive and well yesterday turned into a dying man bleeding everywhere today, Captain Mazi's eyes were moist. "Don't fucking talk nonsense, your injury is nothing! When I was in Shanghai, my commander's intestines dragged on the ground for several meters, and now he is raised in the city drinking and eating meat every day. How can you be considered a ball?" "Leader, brothers... Brothers are too miserable!" "But they are all heroes! None of the devils can go up! They are glorious! Don't be sad, you can't fucking die, go back and recuperate well... You will still be a good man when you come back!" Lao Dan was finally unable to speak anymore. The massive blood loss made his whole body ache like needle pricks, his tongue became stiff, and his eyes became blurred.He vaguely heard the rumble of cannons in the distance again, and the terrifying motor sound of the Devil's plane descended from the sky again. "Save him, don't let him die!" The group leader shouted. "Don't tell him to die!" Old Dan, the cat in the cave, recalled the words that Head Mazi said ten years ago.How similar is this to what the commander of the communist army said just now!It turns out that the officers of the Communist Army also care about their soldiers so much?I thought that the soldiers of the communist army were forced to fight so hard, because the officers all said so, saying that the communist army would kill people at every turn.Their families were also forced to send their food to the front lines of the communist army, and they were shot collectively if they refused to obey.After fighting for many years, Lao Dan began to improve his understanding of the factors that determine the outcome of the war: after eight years of fighting in the War of Resistance, he was finally able to beat out the devils.It is one thing for a devil to start a fire in his own backyard, but the Chinese work together for the sake of the country and the family. Although the strategy and tactics are not good, they are really desperate to fight.No matter how powerful the devil is, he can't hold back the long-term consumption of his coming after you die.My weapons and equipment are not as good as yours, and my tactical level is not as good as yours, but I will fight you one out of three, and I am just as desperate as you.Therefore, Lao Dan did not believe that the Communist soldiers who were forced out could be so arrogant in the Northeast, and even beat up the brothers who had fought side by side with him.As for whether the Communist Army will be worse than the little devil?Take the prisoners with a bayonet?This would rather be believed than not. "After all, he is one of our own who speaks Chinese!" Today, Lao Dan, who is still merciless in murder, begins to feel guilty.The communist soldiers who rushed forward looked more like the comrades who charged in the past. Facing them, he could no longer arouse the strong hatred in his heart, and he could no longer jump out of the trench with a loud roar and slash The bravery and arrogance of the devil come.Are you still a good soldier?Where did the aggressiveness of the past go?Now he got into this hole which is not as big as a kennel, he dare not fart freely, what a shame to his mother!You know, when he was fighting the devils, the only thing he and his brothers thought about was to see if the grenades hanging around their waists were enough.Thinking of the dozen or so brothers who knelt on the ground and surrendered to the communist army, Lao Dan felt sad from the bottom of his heart, all of them are veterans!Some people even joined the army earlier than themselves, some fought in Changsha, some fought in Hengyang, and some fought guerrillas with deputy company commander Xia Qian in the enemy's rear for five years. Killing will not frown!It is absolutely impossible to let them kneel down to the devils. It would be better to give them a gun, but they actually knelt there and raised their hands to the communist army? fuck you!I can't figure it out! In the middle of the night, the cold that penetrated into the bone marrow did not allow Lao Dan to recall any more.The jug finally bottomed out, but it still couldn't get rid of the numbness in the limbs.Through the faint light at the bottom of the box, you can vaguely see many communist soldiers in the trenches, and the sound of shovels flying up and down is all too familiar—the communist army is desperately digging trenches.Will the national army command give up such an important forward position easily?Where are those tanks and planes? The light outside the box suddenly lit up, almost hurting Lao Dan's staring eyes.The sound of thundering artillery fire followed, and heavy shells hit the front and back of the trench one after another. Shouts, the clatter of gun bolts, and the sound of people running suddenly filled the trench. "The national army counterattacked, comrades entered the position!" "Do they still dare to fight back? I'll kill them!" "Watch out for enemy tanks! Dynamite packs ready!" "Don't panic, hit it when you get closer..." The sound of rumbling guns blasted backwards all the way, and the ground began to tremble regularly.It is estimated that at least a dozen tanks are attacking. According to the law of Butan coordination, there should be at least 300 people coming up.Lao Dan was excited -- as long as the brothers can rush up, they can escape in the chaos. No matter whether everyone can attack this position or not, there is still a great possibility of running back. Be sure to go home safely! Ten years of fighting left him scarred.Let’s not talk about the head, it’s good here and there’s flowers; the arms are full of scars of various colors; the chest is densely packed with more than a dozen scars; the three incisions of different sizes on the waist and eyes intersect each other; the legs are also full of potholes. A flat place.Every wound is a horrible and sad memory, and the little soldier who bathed him once trembled with fear.Sometimes, Lao Dan really felt that he was about to become a god, why didn't a single bullet hit his vitals impartially?Why do many recruits try to charge for the first time, the first bullet they receive hits the heart or head, and they die after kicking their legs a few times?Why did the leader of Mazi commit suicide inexplicably without dying in all battles?Why does the old man Huang who has long been weary of war come out to fight devils after retiring to the Huang family for more than ten years?Why is the god of death always so close to me but never forgets to torture my body in various ways?Whenever he touches his body at night, a strong sense of fate arises spontaneously. The roar of tanks was getting closer, and the communist army had opened fire.They ran up and down the trench, shouting loudly.The sound of the tank's guns was crisp and sweet. It is estimated that these iron guys have already reached within a range of 500 meters. The national army must be hiding behind the tanks and charging, right?Except for the sound of guns and artillery, there was no sound of people shouting and killing in the entire position.The artillerymen of the communist army also seemed to be very experienced, and they concentrated all the shells in one place.Even in the cave, Lao Dan could clearly hear the crisp collision sound of shells hitting the shell of the tank. Amid the deafening serial explosions, the communist army cheered, probably some tanks were destroyed. Accompanied by a huge roar, the planes of the national army rushed to help the battle.A large string of bombs was about to fall. Listening to the movement, the communist army fighting fiercely in the trenches must have had no time to dodge, and they were probably killed immediately.The box at the entrance of the cave was almost lifted.This scene reminded Lao Dan of the scene where the Devil's plane dropped a bomb on his head, how similar it was! The sound of aircraft machine gun bullets hitting the soil was very numbing, which made Lao Dan urinated for a while.The national army sounded like they had rushed to the front of the line, the sound of machine gun fire, the explosion of grenades, and the whistling of flamethrowers followed one after another.Another round of planes strafed past, and finally heard the cries of the communist army. It was the wailing of people before they were about to die. Most of them shouted a few times and then fell silent. ?Lao Dan sighed.A communist soldier fell at the entrance of the cave, muttering: "Mother, save me... Mother... save me, mother..." As the voices of people outside faded away, Lao Dan bravely opened the hole, pushed down the ammunition box and poked his head out.The flames filled the entire trench, and he saw the corpses of the communist army all over the bottom of the trench, as if they were still squirming slightly in the flames.In front of him lay a strong soldier, his back was a mess of flesh and blood, and a hole the size of a bowl was bubbling blood like a fountain.There was a thin soldier under his body, and the machine gun bullets that passed through the man above did not let the baby go.The baby's belly was turned out, red and yellow, and his mouth was still twitching and muttering to himself. It turned out that this baby was calling his mother in Henan dialect over and over again. There are no living things in the trenches anymore, and all that can move are people who are about to die.Lao Dan slowly crawled out of the hole where he had been suffocating for a whole day, took a submachine gun casually, checked that there was no movement around him, and slowly stretched out his head to look around. Several tanks were burned black and red in the fire, and three or four of them rushed to the front of the position.The national army soldiers wearing black and green steel helmets were checking the situation outside the ditch, using submachine guns to sweep away the people who could still move in the ditch.This trench of less than 300 meters has been counterattacked by the national army.The plane has gone far away, and hundreds of national troops are rushing through this trench and rushing back.The soaring fire that ignited in front of the battlefield shone on the pale face of this little young man. His face was delicate, with exquisite features, and the immature between the brows had not taken off. The same white face was covered with blood.Because of the pain, his two hands were digging the ground around him nervously.Lao Dan struggled to remove the big man who was pressing on him, lifted the child's head, and frantically blocked the holes in his body with his hands.This kid is sure to die!He only hoped to extend this poor life for a while, but this made Wazi look down at his squirming internal organs, and Wazi immediately convulsed, spitting out a stream of bloody saliva. "Boy, are you a Wugenzi?" Lao Dan asked while wiping the blood off his face. The familiar Henan accent suddenly made Wu Genzi's eyes a little angry, and he nodded with difficulty, not noticing that Lao Dan crawled out of a hole not far from him.Lao Dan struggled to move the big man who was pressing on the child, and turned to look at his face. The square face should have been covered with rosy luster, but now it was as pale as a river bed in winter. "Squad leader, he wants to cover me...Brother, you...Are you the Kuomintang?" the child said with difficulty. "Well, I am!" "Don't fight with them, brother, don't follow the Kuomintang... Many of your brothers have come here... Our family supports the Communist Party, and yours must be too, cough...cough..." "Son, stop talking, save your life and go back to take care of your mother!" Lao Dan's nose suddenly soured. "Brother, please help me, I am dying, please help me..." Wu Genzi, who was struggling on the verge of death, burst into tears, his pain was so painful that he couldn't express his sobs.Lao Dan held the hand of this fellow villager with a heavy heart like a crushing plate.The hemorrhage from the liver soaked his stomach in a pool of blood. Such an open organ injury is hopeless.Lao Dan was very anxious but helpless, so he could only hug this seventeen-year-old child tightly, just like hugging Huang Ruiling, Huang Jiachong's soldier who died in Changde.They were all the same young, had the same longing for the future, and had the same hopeless parents looking forward to going home, but they all died like this!At this time, Lao Dan, who had fought for many years and was as strong as iron, was sobbing, and tears were already rolling in his eyes. "Brother, you can't beat us, you can't, come here early, don't look at your planes and tanks, everyone says you don't have the hearts of the people...cough...cough...my family used to be too poor to eat, but now we have land. There is food to eat...it is all given by the Communist Party..." Wazi's difficult words hit Lao Dan's heart like a heavy hammer. "Baby, who else is in your family?" "There is also a sister in my family, my father and mother, my father will have his fiftieth birthday soon..." "Is there anything you can tell me?" "My family is in Pengjiawan, Xinyang...Changtai Village...Tell my mother to find a good husband's house for my sister...Tell me that I am fine, don't miss me..." The child's eyes began to diverge, and his chapped lips opened and closed , holding tightly to the fellow next to him with one hand. "When we were leaving, someone told my mother that we are close... Qiao Zhuang's sister... the girl is beautiful..." This beautiful memory at the end of his life seemed to make him forget the pain, leaving a smile on his face.Wu Genzi just opened his eyes and died in the arms of this fellow countryman with incomparable nostalgia.Lao Dan gently closed his eyes, slowly put him on the ground, straightened his body, and placed the gun in his arms.It was already a gray face. An hour ago, the chief had just given him a promise of "no sacrifice". At this time, his body was as cold as his rifle.A gust of wind blew by, and Lao Dan found himself in tears.He hadn't shed tears for a long time, so he hurriedly wiped his dirty sleeves, looked around nervously to make sure no one would notice, then straightened his clothes, and slowly crawled out of the trench.Both sides of the trench were equally foggy, with the communist army on the east and the national army on the west. Which way should we go?The two sides are doomed to two completely different destinies, which one can make them go home?He had no choice but to hesitate and bewildered. "You Gen'er is almost thirteen. If Tweety is really pregnant when I go out, the younger one will be nine years old and can help his mother with work. The earthen house at home should also be repaired. The donkey is not Do you know if he is dead? Do you have a few cubs? Will the pear tree in the yard have a harvest this autumn? If the Communist Army liberates the village, will the family not get any benefits because they are helping the national army to fight? Let them be implicated? Will they think they are dead..." Countless questions flashed through Lao Dan's mind, and when he looked back, the soldiers of the national army had already found him. "Brother, dare you be here all the time? Brothers all think you are honored, and Xiao Zhuzi cried a lot!" Lao Dan jumped into the trench and didn't answer, just sitting on the edge of the trench and smoking a cigarette. Back in the company, no one seemed to notice anything unusual about him, as if he just went to pee.One of his veterans narrowed his eyes and handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, then turned and left lazily.When Lao Dan went to the battalion headquarters to report the situation of the battle and the loss of the company, the officers were all downcast, and waved their hands before listening to his report. "I still came back here, what should I do in the future?" Lao Dan was filled with this question that made him extremely confused, and fell into a deep sleep in exhaustion... On the first night away from home, the woman tried her best, rolled and twisted, and twisted up and down, tossing the old Dan empty and exhausted.The woman left countless tooth marks, red and purple, and sweat all over his body.The various liquids that flowed out glued them together tightly, giving off a strange smell.The woman hugged his head, her plump legs wrapped around his waist, and her fat and white hands stroked his fiery body, softly said: "Slap devils more thoughtfully, and lie down more frequently. When others rush forward, I stumble on some garlic under my feet, and make a few somersaults, huh? If you are injured, lie on your stomach, don't move forward in a daze!" The woman lovingly played with the man's treasured treasure and said: "Don't get hurt if you get hurt, huh? I'm waiting for you to come back, and I'll torture you to death every day!" When he was stationed in Chongqing, a piece of shrapnel almost cut off his lifeline, and Lao Dan was so frightened that he couldn't stand up for a long time.The nasty shrapnel slanted across his butt, pierced deeply into the base of his thigh, almost severing an artery.While recuperating in the hospital, Lao Dan was still terrified. It seemed that his life could be saved, but would this thing work?This is the signboard of his Megatron Banzi Village, and it is a sharp weapon that Mr. Yuan Bai is boasting about. It is absolutely impossible to lose his prestige!In the dead of night, when the wounded soldiers were snoring like thunder, he quietly rubbed the handle with his hand once to test the function of the thing. A little more violent than before.But after a few times, he became addicted to it, and would have to mess around in bed every now and then, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.The more I did it, the less vigilant I was, and I was finally bumped into by the little nurse who changed the urinal.The angry-eyed Sichuan girl lifted his quilt and cursed loudly: "It's useless, I can't forget the woman with only one breath left, will I suffocate you if I save some food? If you want to get better soon, just shrink that thing back to me!" The panic-stricken Lao Dan who was sprinting to the critical point was so frightened that he became instantly impotent, suffocating sticky sweat, and curled up on the bed.He hastily hid that shy thing, feeling like a cat caught stealing by its owner.After being woken up, the comrades laughed, and a brother without legs laughed and joked: "Sister, is my brother's thing bigger than mine?" The pungent Sichuan girl immediately retorted: "Your? The cat at the door was bigger than yours when it stretched out!" Lao Dan also smiled shyly. "Of course, why don't you just call him Brother Old Dan? Do you want him to get well soon, or do you want to take the opportunity to meet our old brother's treasure?" "Taking the opportunity? I've seen hundreds of your dirty things, at least. What kind of things haven't you seen?" "Sister, you see that my brother has a wife and children, so you can give him a hand and fulfill his wish, otherwise he will go up and down every night, making us so noisy that we can't sleep!" Although the girl is well-informed and has vivid memories of all kinds of things, she has no practical experience, and her cheeks are flushed with embarrassment. "I want to fuck you, go fuck him! Shameless smelly three! I only know how to suck onions, cucumbers, and cabbage, but I don't know how to fuck your dirty stuff!" "Oh! You can't masturbate like that, so you don't want to masturbate my brother? My wife saw it when my brother came home, and I was scared! Why is my man's size two sizes too small? Who are you? How dare you pretend My man will come to meet me?" ... Everyone laughed so hard that one of the soldiers broke his wound from laughing, screaming in pain.The little nurse blushed, and suddenly picked up the urinal, as if she was going to put it on the poor-mouthed soldier, who immediately raised his hand and surrendered.The red face of the little nurse made the soldiers daydream endlessly, wishing to reach out and touch it, or let her little hand touch themselves.The brother with a broken leg was very jealous of the guy who was shot in the butt, because his buttocks could be gently touched by those jade hands, which was why he often set up a small tent in the middle of the night.The wounded soldiers are murderous demons on the battlefield, but in front of such a yellow girl, they are as docile as a flock of sheep.Although it was not without embarrassment for the little nurse to discover his dirty little secret, Lao Dan and everyone were still familiar with the handjob in the middle of the night, and they were all used to it.It's just that I often worry about being disturbed by the little nurses. Before entering the phantom in my mind, I will be dragged back abruptly. This is like a bayonet that is stabbed out and forced to be retracted. I rush back and hurt myself .
