After a positional battle with the communist army, the national army with superior strength and weapons began to take advantage of it. The communist army was finally defeated by the national army attacking from three directions at Nanpingji.After a few days of rest, Lao Dan led his company to the front line.They set off overnight and followed the large army across the north bank of the Weihe River.
As soon as they crossed the river, the national army realized that something was wrong.The main force of the communist army, which was thought to be running faster than rabbits, and the ragged fourth column did not retreat as expected, but set up a three-sided ambush encirclement with other communist troops on the other side of the Hui River. . As soon as the main force of the 18th Army jumped ashore from the river, the communist army's charge horn sounded.The national army hastily fought against the water, and soon fell into chaos.I don't know what the National Army has detected with so many planes flying around? The 18th Army did not fight with the Communist Army in the front, turned around and ran towards the river, throwing a lot of weapons and equipment to the Communist Army, which made the brothers of the 14th Army bewildered.
The 14th Army was ordered to shrink south along the Weihe River and seize railway lines and villages.Along the way, there were troops of the Communist Army firing guns in all directions, but there were only gunshots and no one was seen.The national army planes obviously had no targets, and the large-scale bombing was also done by blind men wearing glasses-pretending to be, but the surrounding villages were all razed to the ground.A unit covering the flank was so nervous that it mistook the reconnaissance company of the 10th Army coming from the north for the Communist Army, and fired randomly, killing hundreds of brothers.
After a fierce battle, the 14th Army finally entered Shuangduiji south of Su County at dawn and began to establish a defensive position.Lao Dan's company was in charge of defending a 300-meter-long section of the position, flanked by armored troops from the 39th Regiment of the 107th Division. Lao Dan was ordered to defend the position to withstand the charge of the Communist Army in the front, and to attract the main attacking force of the Communist Army here. .Then the armored troops of the 39th regiment were responsible for the counter charge and encircled them.
Although the soldiers were exhausted, they still took off their arms and worked hard, digging trenches, laying mines, and pulling barbed wire, so busy that their buttocks were smoking.
At noon, news came from the regiment headquarters that the Seventh Corps had been basically surrounded by the communist army.
Strange to say, when Lao Dan and his soldiers heard the news, although they were all surprised, they didn't feel too scared.The communist army besieged us?What to wear?When the devils surrounded us, there was no shortage of aircraft, artillery, tanks and soldiers. We were still in Wuhan for five months!So everyone just looked around and smoked, not taking it seriously.Laosun from Hubei took out the Huadiao wine of his hometown hidden in his bosom and gave it to Lao Dan to drink, saying that if the Communist army rushed over, he might not have a chance to drink it. Withstood it, the 39th regiment just went up to pick up ready-made fruits to eat.
Lao Dan didn't care much about these anymore.Whether you defend or charge, whether the bullet finds you or not is entirely up to you, and has little to do with where you are and what you are doing.Haven't you seen the 10th Army Reconnaissance Company who entered the defensive position of the 4th Company in a daze? They stayed in such a safe place, but they ate their own guns, what a fart!
The Communist army fought bravely and had strict discipline, and it seemed that it was far more skilled in the use of mobile warfare than the national army.The communist army always quickly concentrates its superior forces, catches a single national army unit and beats it to death, and quickly disperses before the national army reinforcements pounce.If the national army dared to chase them, they would harass the national army troops on their waists and buttocks.The mechanized corps of the 7th Army almost circled within a range of 200 kilometers, but they still couldn't escape the legs and feet of several columns of the Communist Army.The national army was always unable to figure out in which direction the main force of the communist army was headed, and watched helplessly as their regiments and brigades were cut off by the communist army like flesh.At the end of this tossing, as soon as the communist army had the upper hand, it immediately launched a big charge. The 100,000 national army was beaten to pieces on the spot, and the blandishing party-state elite Commander Huang seemed to have died for the country.
After a busy morning, the task is basically completed.The communist army generally would not charge in broad daylight, and Lao Dan ordered to rest.The soldiers shook off the dirt from their bodies and asked each other for cigarettes.A few soldiers fell asleep as soon as they lay down, snoring like fat pigs.Lao Dan took the filial cigarettes from the soldiers, took off his sweat-soaked hat, sat down in an earth nest, and looked at the sweaty brothers in the trench while smoking.
These people had only been with him for two months, and many of their faces felt unfamiliar.In the past ten years, whether it is the company I participated in or the company I led, it seems that I have never been able to complete the whole process. I have to change it after a few months, or simply cancel the designation and merge into another company.This time the new soldier was even more pale, with fear and uneasiness on his face, tears streaming down his face at every turn.Lao Dan knows that most of the new recruits are captured, and if you don't serve as soldiers, your home will be burned. This kind of conscription has become a routine method of the national army.At the intersection of the national army and the communist army, the policy is even more cruel. If you don't serve as a soldier here, you may be shot, because you may be a soldier of the communist army!
The military discipline of the national army is also crap now, it is far less strict than when it was fighting devils.During the two months since the devils surrendered, Lao Dan's company went to accept the devils' transfer of city defense, during which many soldiers committed all sorts of crimes.Many Japanese immigrants who were doing business in the city were beaten to death by them, and their family properties were also robbed by red-eyed civilians and soldiers.Japanese women were in bad luck. Most of them were raped or gang-raped. Some Chinese women were even raped because they looked similar to Japanese women.Although Lao Dan shot a few soldiers to stop this evil spirit, he couldn't stop the crazy people's revenge at all. Almost no one took the National Government's purpose of "repaying grievances with virtue" seriously.The barracks where the devils lived were set ablaze or thrown a hand grenade at every turn, causing the devils to commit suicide by swallowing stones.Behind the scenes, the soldiers still banded together to run amok, didn't settle the bill for food and drink, didn't give money for flirting with women, and if the shopkeeper dared to speak, they would slap him in the face...
In view of the corruption of military discipline, the orders from above must be strictly controlled.But when he thought that most of these soldiers had their whole families killed by the devils, or that their wives, sisters or relatives had been ravaged by the devils, Lao Dan felt timid when he looked at his subordinates with angry eyes.What kind of hatred is that?Compared with devils killing their comrades in arms, this kind of family feud destroys everything.
Lao Zheng, a Shandong soldier, shot and killed three Japanese civilians accompanying the army, raped a teenage Japanese girl, and was ordered to be shot by the regiment headquarters.He has fought in Changsha and Hengyang, and he is one of the few veterans who can survive!Lao Zheng fought bravely and once blew up two Devils tanks by himself.His old father in Shandong organized regiment training to assist the national army in fighting against Japan. Han Fuju's troops ceded the territory to the Japanese army without firing a single shot, resulting in the entire armed regiment training being captured by the Japanese army.Mr. Zheng was tied to a donkey stake at the entrance of the village, and he cursed at the Japanese soldiers.Lao Zheng's family, together with more than 700 people in the village, were tied up on the threshing floor and burned to charcoal.
Before being ordered to be shot by the regiment headquarters, Lao Zheng mourned to the sky and shouted:
"As a ghost, I still want to fuck the Japanese!"
Old Zheng's eyes were wide open, his eye sockets were cracked, and he fell on his back under the bullet.Lao Dan thought of Lao Zheng who was born and died with him, and when he blocked the bomb for him in Chongqing, but when he was blown to pieces, he couldn't help crying.
Soon after recruits join the army, they become as gangsters as veterans.When the national army suffered a disastrous defeat and it was difficult to return home, they let go of their hands and feet, sneaked around and ran amok.The original anti-Japanese education and ideological work of loving the people in the army were gone, replaced by anti-communist propaganda, and the soldiers couldn't even lift their spirits to listen.In short, as soon as the break comes, the veterans will take the recruits and run out to do evil, or get drunk.
"When did you join the army?" Lao Dan asked a recruit who was holding a gun in a daze.
"It's been seventy-five days since I've been here," said the recruit.
"How do you remember the days so clearly?" Lao Dan laughed.
"I remember it every day since I came here." The recruit said sadly.
"Where's home?" Deputy company commander Xia Qian asked him.
"My family is from Huaiyin, Jiangsu!"
"Where is Huaiyin? How big is the boundary?" Heigou, a warrior from the northeast, asked.
"My family is in southern Jiangsu, do you know Han Xin? Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin?"
"Huaiyin monkey? Male monkey or female monkey? You also have monkeys?" Black Dog asked seriously.
"You're such a dumbass, what kind of male monkey and female monkey, why don't you know this! Never heard of the play - Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin? The black dog is so dazed! That's a great general!" Xia Qian spit , Don't give the black dog any face.
"Who is there in your family? How many brothers and sisters?" Lao Dan asked the questions he usually asks soldiers.
"There is still a mother and a younger brother in the family. There are five brothers in my family, four of whom are in our army."
"They are all in our 14th Army?"
"Well, they are all in the 18th Army, they should be in the 110th Division."
"That's okay, the brothers can take care of each other, and they are not far away from each other. Maybe someday they can go home together!" Xia Qian said enviously.
"What's your name?" Lao Dan asked.
"My name is Yang Beiwan." The recruit replied loudly.
"Yo? Your name is very impressive, so what are your brothers' names?" Black Dog asked.
"Big brother Yang Dongwan, second brother Yang Xiwan, third brother Yang Nanwan, I am Yang Beiwan."
"Then what's your brother's name?" Lao Dan couldn't help laughing anymore.
"His name is Yang Zhongwan!"
The soldiers immediately fell down laughing.The family of the recruit Yang Beiwan made everyone feel interesting. After laughing, everyone was a little envious. After all, many soldiers’ families were not complete. indivual.Lao Dan also found it very interesting, and couldn't help but patted Yang Beiwan's head affectionately.For a moment, he had a special feeling of closeness to this seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.Several of his brothers have come to join the army, and they are all concerned about the brothers in other troops. No wonder this child is languid all day long, and doesn't fit in with others, unlike those heartless soldiers who have no family, no women, and no brothers.Now, he and several other brothers are in the encirclement of the communist army, and they are not able to take care of them, so they are naturally uncomfortable.
"Have you ever fired a gun?" Lao Dan asked again.
"Not yet, the last time I fought... I didn't dare..." Yang Beiwan blushed.This is a dick baby just like Wugenzi. Although his newly grown body is not thin, he is still fragile. A fringe of broken bangs on his forehead is dirty and messy, almost covering his big eyes. His face is full of shyness and panic, his weak mouth like a girl's is always opened wide in panic, as if a firecracker can frighten his courage.
"That's not unusual, I didn't dare back then. Just follow me, be my messenger, and I'll go talk to your squad leader later." Lao Dan seemed to see himself in him back then, the old man This is how the villagers love themselves.He made up his mind to try his best to protect the child who had just grown up.
"Yes, company commander!" On the eve of the great battle, Yang Beiwan was pleasantly surprised to receive the care of the company commander, which meant that he was more secure.The soldiers patted the happy child as if they were their own brothers.
In the evening, the company that was waiting in full battle saw the dense figures of the Communist Army, and red flags fluttered in the wind wrapped in the moonlight.The communist army did not attack immediately, but dug trenches as soon as they arrived.Even in the dark, everyone can still vaguely see the sand they raised, and occasionally a few bright shovels swaying by.It was estimated that they would have to dig all night anyway, but the soldiers didn't take it seriously and simply took a nap.Unexpectedly, the communist army only dug until midnight, dropped the shovel and picked up the broken gun, and started to attack.The attack of the communist army is really frightening. Although they are not prepared for artillery fire this time, there are more than 500 communist troops with guns on their waists, braving the artillery fire of the national army and rushing forward. It can't slow down their offensive rhythm at all.They didn't start shooting until they were within the range of the national army's rifles. This verified the regiment's statement that the communist army paid great attention to conserving ammunition.
The heavy artillery of the 14th Army was opened.
The artillery and armored units of the 14th Army are famous all over the world, and the Itagaki Division of the Devils once suffered a big loss at Kunlun Pass.The communist army was blown upside down, and the cotton wool fluttered.The night sky was clear and cloudless, so the air force of the national army would not be idle, slowly helping the artillerymen to correct the artillery fire in the sky.Laodan and the others hadn't fired much, and more than half of the rushing communist army was wiped out.To everyone's astonishment, the remaining communist army, with less than 200 members, still yelled and rushed over, showing no intention of getting down.The firepower net carefully arranged by Lao Dan killed all these bravely charged communist troops. Some veterans were addicted to killing people, and they would not let go of those who were still crawling on the ground. grinning.
Immediately after a round of charge, another group of communist troops rushed up, this time the artillery fire of the communist army was extremely fierce, and the landing point was very accurate.Lao Dan immediately ordered everyone to enter the tunnel.The minefields and barbed wire fences in front of the position were blown away, and almost all the heavy firepower on the trenches was blown away.Although the guns of the Communist Army were not heavy, they were very efficient. A round of volleys hit an area, and a trench was smashed into a big ditch in an instant. Soldiers who had not had time to enter the tunnel were killed on the spot.The artillery fire of the communist army still had a lot of stinky bombs. In the last exchange of fire, a soldier saw a sharp bullet fall from the top of his head, plunged into the soil with a "poof", and whirled around there, smoking.The man was so frightened that he fainted on the spot. When he woke up, the cannonball was still stuck in the soil. When he pulled it out, he found that the bullet was gone. It turned out to be a waste product left by the little devil. I don't know if I was joking with the Guojun brothers?
Yang Beiwan curled up in the cave, shaking like chaff, his face pale.Lao Dan smiled at him and checked his gun calmly.Intuition told him that the first charge was just a firepower test by the communist army, but this time it was for real.
The charge of the communist army is quite different from that of the devils.When the devils charge, the sound is like being held back from the stomach, passing through the hoarse throats of the Orientals, and uttering a frightening beast-like scream. The wild cat screaming sternly gave people goosebumps the size of sesame seeds.The charge of the communist army is more like shouting in unison in a play, with a unified tone, which is quite pleasant, resounding throughout the field, but you can never know how many of them there are.Their attack speed is also extremely fast. If you are not careful, their bayonet will touch your nose.
Numerous flares illuminated the night sky as bright as day, dust was flying on the flat land, and flames shot up into the sky. The smoke clouds after the explosions were really spectacular in the light of the fire and the flares.The bullets and shells dragged the fleeting stream of light, weaving various terrifying patterns in the smoke.Between the light and shadow, thousands of chubby black shadows, with hemp ropes tied around their waists, are stepping on the loess all over the sky and galloping forward.There was a gloomy cold light on the tips of their guns, shouting slogans, and they rolled towards the national army positions like mountains and seas.The dense artillery shells of the national army kept raising black smoke and dust, destroying this group of running people, and the rain of bullets passed through their bodies, making a "plop" sound.Lao Dan was quite surprised by the fierce firepower of his troops. He had never seen such a powerful strike force of the national army since Wuhan.The ground was shaken by the heavy artillery bombardment, and the national army planes strafed the charging communist army swaggeringly. They flew so low that the wheels of the plane seemed to touch the head of the communist army.
Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were firing on the ground, and the soldiers' submachine guns were not idle, and the bullets fired were enough to suffocate the charging communist army.Deputy company commander Xia Qian commanded the heavy machine guns on two armored vehicles, and fired at the most densely populated areas of the communist army, with bullet casings clinking like beans.However, under such intensive firepower suppression, a large number of communist troops still rushed to the minefields. They threw a large number of grenades and blasted the minefields and barbed wire fences in an attempt to concentrate their breakthrough.Lao Dan calmly let the machine gun fire criss-cross to seal the openings.The communist army that rushed to this area almost fell down, and the corpses piled up layer by layer, and the offensive of the communist army was contained.They lay on the ground and shot this way. Some tried to crawl over and throw explosives and grenades, but they couldn't escape the condescending machine guns.The soldiers were just trying to catch their breath when another round of the communist army's charge began amidst the ear-piercing sound of trumpets. A mixed formation of infantry and cavalry came roaring forward. New charge.
Before this battle, the chief of the training regiment repeatedly emphasized that the best way to resist the communist army's positional warfare is to keep a distance from them to prevent them from rushing into the defense line of the national army or turning around behind the national army's position, otherwise the national army's air force and The advantage of weapons is not easy to play.Therefore, the defensive positions of the national army are mostly circular stepped and prominent defenses, with evenly distributed firepower points and orderly heights.The communist army hit a snag this time, obviously underestimating the combat effectiveness of the new force of the national army in front of them. Those who managed to get past the first line of defense had no chance to escape.The armored units of the national army on both wings of the position began to countercharge.As soon as the communist army occupied half of the trench, they panicked and began to retreat while covering each other.The artillery fire of the communist army also began to bombard the national army that was about to encircle them. After a close-range firepower contest, the communist army finally reluctantly gave up the captured position, carried the wounded and dead comrades on their backs, and retreated.
This time, there was no hand-to-hand combat.
This was the only thought that came to Lao Dan's mind after seeing the communist army retreat.He actually felt an inexplicable sense of rejoicing. He knew it was not because he was timid and afraid of death, but because he couldn't face the fact that if his opponent was a Henan farmer like him, it would be like dying on his own that day. The root in my arms, how can this bayonet stick down?
Lao Dan did not order to pursue.This is not like beating devils in the past. As soon as he saw devils about to run, he would lead everyone to rush over desperately and kill all the escaped and panting ones.He ordered the soldiers to re-enter the trenches where the communist army retreated actively, rearrange firepower points, repair fortifications, and take care of the wounded.Withstanding the stormy attack of the communist army, Lao Dan felt that it was a piece of cake.The difference in equipment between the two armies is too great. Apart from a cannon and a uniform charge, the communist army seems to have no other sharp offensive means.The soldiers of this company did not sacrifice much, but the two battalions that counterattacked were accidentally ambushed by the communist army.The artillery cover of the communist army was still very strong, and the tanks and armored vehicles of a national army battalion that was outflanked were completely lost, and the battalion commander almost failed to come back.On the whole, the national army has a slight upper hand in this battle.Lao Dan thought, if the battle was fought like this, the communist army would have little chance of defeating the national army.The temporarily besieged national army is still strong, and it should only be a matter of time before they rush out.
After a few days, the large army was ready to break out.The 110th Division of the 85th Army—that is, the division in which all three of Yang Beiwan's brothers belonged took the lead, followed by the 116th Division, 118th Division of the 18th Army, and the 18th Division of the 10th Army, and began to break through to the east. The task of the 14th Army is still to cover the two wings.Lao Dan's company was fine for the time being, and the large troops over there rushed up. The communist army in front of the company would definitely not attack rashly, and might even think about how to escape.As soon as the main force of the national army protrudes, the communist army in the south must retreat to prevent the mechanized eighteenth army from being detoured.The hearts of the soldiers fell into their stomachs temporarily, and every night that they could sleep peacefully was so hard-won.Lao Dan ordered the soldiers to pack up their gear, they might set off eastward in the middle of the night, so just sleep soundly at the moment.
But Yang Beiwan didn't sleep. He sat in the trench crying and cursing the commander of the 110th Division:
"What the hell are you playing for? What are you fighting for? The Communist Army is so easy to fight? The 110th Division is not a heavy mechanized unit? The tanks of the 118th Division and the 107th Division are the bastards? Fuck you, what are you pretending to be?" force!"
Everyone is silent.Everyone knew that his older brothers were over there, so it was hard to talk.It can be concluded that the two divisions rushing forward must have more than half of their casualties.The communist army's charge is so fierce, and the defense will not be lax.Lao Dan still remembers that when he attacked the outskirts of Chongqing, more than 2,000 national troops attacked a small hill guarded by 500 devils. After fighting for three days, they couldn't beat them. The devils did not retreat until only 20 people were left. The national army set it on fire.The communist column in front of him seemed no worse than devils, and the 110th division's volunteering act seemed to him more like asking for bad luck.
As soon as it got dark, gunfire sounded from the north, and more than 30 planes flew overhead in a beautiful formation to support the breakout troops. For a while, the north was in chaos.Lao Dan watched the battle over there nervously, feeling very strange in his heart-why hasn't it been done yet?After being in the Central Plains for so long, why did the national army always break through the siege, and then break out again after breaking through, but they were always under siege by the communist army?The communist army has such broken equipment, and there are not as many people as the national army, so why do they always like to besieged?
The gunfire did not subside until midnight.The itchy soldiers of the 14th Army never received the order to set out to follow up. Instead, they were ordered to strengthen the fortifications and defend their positions, waiting for reinforcements.
The next morning, several soldiers came back to inquire about the news. Of the several divisions, only the 110th Division rushed over, and the other divisions were all blocked.The resistance of the communist army was very tenacious, and the national army suffered heavy casualties. The 110th Division was blocked by the communist army when it rushed over. It disappeared and seemed to disappear on the battlefield.The air force didn't find them either, and it is estimated that the entire army was wiped out.
Hearing the bad news, soldier Yang Beiwan burst into tears and hit his head on the ground. Everyone hurriedly stopped him and tried to comfort him. The soft-hearted soldier also shed a lot of tears.It's so fucking evil, these divisions are the most famous and tough troops in the legion, and they can't break through with the cover of tanks and armored vehicles and aircraft?It seems that the communist army is not only sharp in offense, but also extremely strong in defense.Lao Dan suddenly remembered the words of the commander of the communist army that he had heard in the cave. No wonder, there is such a confident and caring officer—just like the former commander Mazi—that the soldiers must fight to the death!Not to mention that the commander was resourceful and dared to use the same number of troops to encircle the national army, which was completely superior in equipment. What kind of courage and insight did he have?The communist army is always highly concentrated to deal with the national army's frontal breakthrough, and after blocking the national army back, it must quickly return to its original position. The coordinated combat capabilities of the various departments of the communist army are so strong!
"Damn it! You've been besieged again! It's really evil!" Lao Dan lamented despondently.
In the past ten years, he has fought countless battles, less than half of which were surrounded by devils.In the past, being surrounded by devils was due to the slow movement of the national army and poor equipment. Facing the Japanese army with a large number of planes and tanks, the headquarters liked to fight defensive battles with deep trenches and high fortifications. Being surrounded by the Japanese army was commonplace.However, the current national army has everything it should have. How can it not be frustrating to be surrounded by the communist army with few cars and "holding the ground and waiting for reinforcements" like a tortoise?The more I think about it, the angrier I get!The more I think about it, the more disappointed I get!Alas, the one who manages the ball, what's the matter with you, isn't it that you haven't been surrounded by people before?There is something worth consoling about. After fighting for so many years, the devils surrendered in a daze, and finally returned to the Central Plains from the southwest. It seems that it will take some time for the KMT and the Communist Party to compete in the Central Plains, but after all, they are much closer to home. Maybe someday I can go home and have a look.
For ten years, there was no news from home, no good or bad news.How did women come here all these years?The devils should have occupied Banzi Village. Would there be troubles with women and children?Did they escape?Last year, the locust plague in the Central Plains caused a large-scale famine. It is said that millions of people starved to death. Will Banzi Village be spared?There is no decent man in the family to support, and the woman's natal family is also in a flood. The population was sparse that year, and the family was in decline, so I couldn't help much... Thinking of this, Lao Dan felt a heart-wrenching pain, wishing to grow wings Flying back, even if I only see my home in ruins, I feel at ease.
The communist army finally stopped charging!
In the dead of night, the trench was cold to the marrow, and Lao Dan burrowed into his cotton coat, warming his cold hands with a cup of hot water.The weather is so cold that if you spit out a mouthful of phlegm, it will immediately stick hard to the edge of the trench.Lao Dan shrank his neck and shivered, his body was numb from the cold, and his hands and feet seemed to be even colder, so he could only stare at the moon, hoping for the early arrival of day.
The moon is extraordinarily bright tonight.The strong wind in the afternoon was blowing violently, and the sky was not cloudy at all, and the battlefield was brightly illuminated, and they could even see the light reflected from the small shovels of the communist army flying up and down.During the days of being besieged, the communist army never gave up its attack on this side, and sometimes they persevered in taking turns to attack just for a bigger village.Although the communist army suffered heavy casualties, it realized its obvious combat intention to squeeze the national army's defense line step by step, until the national army shrank to the palm-sized area of Shuangduiji.Nowadays, no matter day or night, they will more or less charge all at once. In short, they will not let you live in peace, and they have to prick up one ear when sleeping.They rushed over breathing white steam all the way, and their running cloth shoes creaked and creaked the frozen soil, irritating the brothers who were already suffering from neurasthenia from the cold and numb all over.However, this battle can basically be a tie. After all, the national army is also a tough main force veteran with tenacious will and fierce firepower. It's just that more and more people died in the communist army, while the territory occupied by the national army is getting more and more not enough.
Yesterday, the communist army that attacked from the west seemed to be a new force of new reinforcements. The battle was almost desperate. People carrying explosives on their backs bumped into the bunker one after another. The energy seemed to be arguing with women for more than ten days. The hungry man who didn't get on the kang.Rao Lao Dan's brothers are mostly old guns, and they were also beaten to the point of running away.The brothers in the bunker thought they were staying in the safest place. They could shoot a gun with one hand and smoke with the other. This is great. The Communist Army’s way of fighting made these indestructible temporary fortifications almost like living coffins. .At night, the communist army took off their shirts and desperately dug trenches, sweating profusely and yelling loudly, without paying any attention to the national army that was already close at hand.Normally, the communist army would not attack on such a bright night, but they were not worried that the national army would counterattack, so they just kept digging ditches there.From Lao Dan’s point of view, the communist army is so aggressive in digging ditches that even the bombardment by planes and artillery can’t stop them. They dug up the plain like a spider’s web. Smoked.The national army obviously had no ability to break through the siege, and several attempts to counterattack failed, so they had to wait for reinforcements.The south side fought non-stop all day long, but no friendly army could come over.What the hell!The communist army still has so many troops to fight for aid?How could it actually block the main force of Li Yannian, the heroic general who guarded Wuhan back then, within this short distance of 20 kilometers?
A burst of stench disturbed Lao Dan's thoughts. A soldier in the limelight was squatting there to defecate, so he lit a cigarette hurriedly and turned his face away to pant.Because of the lack of vegetables and drinking water, the shivering soldier rode a horse and squatted on his crotch for almost half an hour without pulling out anything.Brothers in the trench were already complaining loudly, which made the little soldier panicked, but he never dared to find another place to have fun!Just the day before yesterday, a brother in the ditch on the left was anxious in the middle of the night. He crawled outside and just took off his pants when a Communist sniper knocked off half of his head. Now the body is still soaked in feces—the distance between the two sides is too large. near.
"Hey...the Kuomintang...reactionaries...you bastards...can you hear me?" A loud voice suddenly shouted from the Communist Army, and in the silent night sky, his accent was very clear. , Lao Dan was shocked, and the soldiers all pricked up their ears.
"Don't be sleepy, if you dare to close your eyes, we will come here! Come here and put a dick in your crotch? Put a grenade on your cock." He shouted, and a group of people laughed.
"Calling you motherfucker? Come here if you want to! The Russian special hits the dick in your crotch? Babe!" A soldier here responded, and he was also from the other side of the mountain, with a similar accent!
"It's not that I didn't come over during the day. Where was your blister when I came here? Don't let me bump into you tomorrow, and I will leave your whole body for the sake of fellow villagers!" He had his part when he charged during the day.
"Just you bastard? Come here with a ball? Your mother knows how to dig ditches! If you dare, show me your pig's head! Let me see how you look like a ball?" The soldiers here were a little anxious.
"Where did you get your blisters, fellow?" The communist soldier's tone softened.
"Where do you care about Master Qiu? Anyway, it must not be far from you!" The soldiers here are still a little disdainful.
"Come over here! There are many fellow villagers here, and many of them are from your side. The Russian family has been liberated, and they are carrying guns for the Kuomintang. Are you still planning a ball? One of your divisions It’s here to the Russians, you don’t even know it!” said the communist soldier very proudly.
This really made Lao Dan frightened. Could it be that the 110th Division surrendered and changed its surname to "Common"?Damn you, you will kill the brothers of the two divisions behind!Commander Huang is really stunned, why did you send such a division to take the lead?But Yang Bei Wanwazi should be happy now, his brothers must not be dead!No wonder the entire 110th Division, which was fully staffed, didn't even see a single ghost. It turned out that they were all changed into Communist uniforms. Could it be that they were the troops who sent reinforcements?What the hell is going on?
The soldiers of the Communist Army suddenly sang, their earthy voices were hoarse and deep, but they could be heard everywhere.The soldiers of the national army stopped talking, and the soldiers on both sides listened to this man's singing quietly. The deathly silent battlefield was given a little life because of this singing, although the voice was a bit unpleasant.
Lao Dan stood up and inspected the soldiers in the trench.I saw the soldiers huddled together and hugged each other, warming each other with body heat.Many people had strange sores on their faces, hands and feet. They all opened their eyes, looked at themselves, and nodded slightly as a greeting.Yang Beiwan wrapped himself in a blanket and hugged Deputy Company Commander Xia Qian, helping him to keep warm.When the communist army attacked yesterday, the deputy company commander Xia Qian was injured by a grenade shrapnel, his lung was injured, and one eye was also cut off. He vomited blood when he coughed.The two medical officers had been beaten to death. The soldiers stopped the bleeding indiscriminately, and there was nothing they could do. The shrapnel was still in his body.That grenade would have killed Yang Beiwan, but the soldier boy saw the grenade falling into his crotch and smoke was rising, he was so frightened that his feces burst out, Xia Qian rushed over and took it out, and threw it away like hot hands Go out, but it exploded in mid-air, Xia Qian was unconscious at that time, Yang Beiwan was blocked by Xia Qian, the ball was fine.
Lao Dan looked closely and found that Yang Beiwan had already fallen asleep.Xia Qian leaned against the edge of the trench, with her mouth slightly open, her hands crossed in her sleeves, and she looked up at the sky.One of his eyes was wide open, and there were two streaks of ice on his face, one line of tears and the other line of blood.Lao Dan touched his forehead, knowing that he had been dead for a long time, a burst of sadness welled up in his heart, and he turned his face away sadly.After a while, he stretched out his hand to close Xia Qian's open eye, but he couldn't close it, the tears had already frozen it into ice cubes.
Lao Dan woke up Yang Beiwan who was still sleeping, and pointed to Xia Qian who was dead.Immediately the child burst into tears, shaking his savior desperately, holding his head and shouting loudly.The soldiers got up and surrounded them one after another. Yang Beiwan's cries and the singing of the communist soldiers mixed together, making the soldiers even more sad.Lao Dan couldn't bear to watch any longer, and signaled to the soldiers beside him, the soldiers who had already seen him came over gently, and pulled away Yang Beiwan who was crying to death, and the two soldiers carried Xia Qian's body to the store Walk to the corpse.The dead, no matter whether they were soldiers or officers, veterans or recruits, were all stripped naked and piled up together, and the cold wind like knives quickly froze them into popsicle sticks!But what can be done, after all, there are still many living people who don't have cotton-padded clothes!
As soon as he returned to his original position and sat down, Lao Dan grinned and cried.Once he cried, he couldn't control it, and bursts of sobs choked on the cold wind, making him cry and his shoulders trembled.Fearing that the soldiers would see him, he simply hid his head in the collar of his coat.Although Lao Dan had long been used to death, the death of Xia Qian, a close comrade in arms, the Hubei man who had saved his life, still made him miserable.Xia Qian was a comrade-in-arms he met during the counterattack.Before the Japanese surrendered, Xia Qian's team was defeated and has been fighting guerrillas behind enemy lines ever since.Most of the more than 200 people were rogues who had been scattered from various units, and many of them were originally bandits. They carried weapons of the regular army, but dressed like beggars.When they were recruited, their clothes were ragged and smelly, and when they lined up, they showed a bunch of buttocks.In the enemy's rear, they searched for the lone devil squad to clean up, or threw a string of grenades while the devil was sleeping. The devil's local garrison had no choice but to vent their anger on the people and slaughtered several people they had stationed. village.Xia Qian learned that she wanted to gnaw her teeth, so she led a group of troops to sneak into the county while the devils were out on patrol, and killed more than 300 people in the center of the Japanese camp, men, women and children. , all piled together and burned.For a while, everyone in the county was afraid to go out, for fear that the devil would retaliate and kill people indiscriminately.
Lao Dan's company almost fell on Xia Qian's gang of living bandits. Xia Qian's sentry had never seen the national army at all, and thought it was a new army of devils.Xia Qian asked them to bury the stolen devil mines on the road, and when the rope was about to be pulled, Xia Qian realized that it was his own.Lao Dan saw a beggar with an unshaven beard and a foot-long hair rushing to the front of the line, and suddenly gave him a standard military salute, then hugged him and cried loudly. More than two hundred beggars behind him also carried him from the dark. The gun came out, making the recruits in the company tremble with fright.After the surrender of the Japanese army, when he was in charge of the devils' surrendering troops, Lao Dan was walking and watching majesticly, and from time to time kicked the little devils who were sitting on the ground and being trained.A devil suddenly rushed over and hugged him from behind. Lao Dan clearly smelled the smoke from the grenade, and broke out in a cold sweat, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the devil's arms.At this critical moment, Xia Qian rushed forward, snapped off the devil's head with his two strong arms, and quickly threw the dead devil together with the smoking grenades on his body. Into the pile of devils.Seven or eight devils blew up people on the spot, Xia Qian went forward again, shot each of the devils who were still howling, and cursed with each shot, which scared the other devils and ran away one after another. .
Xia Qian once told Lao Dan excitedly that it was only a hundred miles away from his home.Ever since he moved eastward from the accompanying capital to accept the surrender of the devils, from Chongqing to Changsha, from Changsha to Nanchang, from Nanchang to Wuhan, his home has been getting closer and closer, and finally he has heard the hometown dialect of northern Hubei, but the army suddenly ordered, Handing over the task of accepting the surrender on the spot, and even letting the devils maintain law and order by themselves, a large force immediately marched to Anhui to seize the key areas of the Central Plains. After the order was issued, Xia Qian looked sad and never mentioned going home.
The song over there suddenly stopped singing.Following the panicked shouts of the communist army, Lao Dan heard the whistling of shells above his head.The heavy artillery of the national army began to bombard the positions of the communist army again, the firepower was still fierce, and Lao Dan could feel the ground shaking on his side.The communist army really doesn't know how to survive?The soldier who sang just now might have been blown up to nothing.The soldiers are tired of sticking their heads out of the trenches to admire the masterpieces of their artillery, and let the shells "swish" across the position, exploding into fireworks in the sky not far away...
After the sound of the cannon, the sky was also dimly lit.Lao Dan shook off the dust all over his body, stood up and looked towards the communist army's position.
The bombardment for nearly an hour almost razed the trenches dug by the communist army that took most of the night to the ground, and the shovels and corpses of the communist army were bombed everywhere.But unexpectedly, by the light of the burning fire, Lao Dan saw that the communist army began to dig trenches with shovels while packing up the corpses of their comrades.They blew whistles, waved small red flags, and acted in unison.Occasionally, there are soldiers here who make cold shots, but the communist army completely ignores them.The plain that was frozen solid as iron had just been plowed by a fierce artillery fire, but it became much easier to dig. In just a few bags of cigarettes, the heads of the communist soldiers disappeared in the trenches they newly dug. I saw huge red flags waving on the ground, swaying slightly with the morning breeze.
"You guys just dig it? Dig out the earth ghost and bring it down!" Lao Dan angrily lit up the pipe and pot, and ignited it with two clicks.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from behind, and the soldiers lying in the trench got up one after another, making way for several people who were walking fast.The leader was a captain officer, scrawny and bony, who looked like a weasel caught in a chicken coop.This person is not big, but he is wearing a military overcoat that almost drags to the ground, and the military badge on the shoulder has slipped onto the arm.Under his funny sunglasses, there is a cruel crooked mouth, which is blowing white steam because of the cold weather.Behind him, several gendarmes with big arms and round waists escorted the two people.The two of them were bound tightly by back-shearing, and both of them were hunched over.Lao Dan recognized his own people at a glance, one was Zhou Laixun, a recruit from Henan, and the other was Ma Liuer, a veteran from Sichuan.The two looked flustered, and there were scars from the beating on their faces.
The captain walked up to Lao Dan, rubbed his numb cheeks with his hands, and raised his head to ask Lao Dan.
"Are you the boss?"
"Yes! Sir, I am Lao Dan, the company leader." Lao Dan saluted him.
As soon as the captain heard the name, he laughed "puchi". He seemed to realize that he was not serious, and lowered his head to cover it up with a series of coughing.
"Are these two your soldiers?"
"It's a soldier of my company!"
"What do you think? They disguised themselves as peasants and wanted to get out. We caught them with big bags and small bags. They should have been punished on the spot, but now more and more cases like this, I think it is necessary to come to the front line to give you Reminder!" The captain's tone was sinister, like the white face in Henan opera.Lao Dan didn't understand what the shady captain was going to do at this time, but he knew that the two soldiers were doomed. Seeing Ma Liu and Zhou Laixun's expressions were gloomy, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"Sir, it's all my fault for not being strict in discipline! Just now the cannons were fired too hard, and I didn't pay attention to anything..."
"Run two today, run two tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow even you and I will run away! How can we fight this battle? The pressure on your communist army here is already high, and you can't hold the position. You send the thousands of wounded brothers behind Where do you put it? It will be you, not me, who will lose your head! You have to figure it out yourself!" The captain played tricks on the honest company commander in front of him like a cat playing with a mouse, thinking that he was not aggressive and easy to deal with.
"Old company commander, I'm homesick, I'm sorry! I dragged brother Ma Liuer away, just punish me!" Zhou Laixun cried incoherently.
"Brother, it's because I'm ignorant, it's because I didn't control myself! Xiaoxunzi is still a child, let me take the blame and make meritorious service. I don't have a problem with him after he dies, so he will not punish him!" Veteran Ma Liu'er didn't care. .
"Did crimes and meritorious deeds? You said it so lightly! This field is full of your brothers. You ran away, did you think about them? The national army doesn't need people like you to make meritorious deeds!" The captain's expression changed sharply, and he said fiercely.
"Sir, for the sake of the shortage of people, let them stay! I will discipline them strictly in the future, and let the regiment headquarters punish me! Both of them are good at fighting. It's a pity to punish them. Isn't there a shortage of people now? It’s really hard to keep the trench without anyone!” Lao Dan had already noticed that the captain was very unkind, but he still had to ask for help.
"Yeah, how can you keep guard when everyone is gone? No! It's useless to say these things now, and I can't spare them anymore! If you spare them, where do I put my head? Military law is military law!" The captain finally showed his cards. up.
"Fuck your mother! Don't play tricks on me here, what are you going to do to me?" Ma Liu'er was so angry that he finally broke out desperately.
"Pretend to be tough? I've seen you bandit a lot, okay, I'll let you pretend to be tough again! Bring the gun!" The captain took off his sunglasses suddenly, revealing a pair of yellow triangular eyes.
"Damn it, shut up!" Lao Dan yelled at Ma Liu'er.
"Sir, can you take care of me and write it down first this time? Next time this happens, I will take care of him myself!" Lao Dan lost his composure.
"Next time? If there is a next time, it's not you who will take care of him, but the regiment will take care of you! Get out of the way!"
The captain hung two submachine guns around their necks, and the bullets had already been removed by the military police.The two had been untied, and the gendarmes put steel helmets on them. The two watched inexplicably as the gendarmes put the equipment on themselves.The captain stood still, took out his pistol, unbolted it, pointed at them, and said:
"Go up, go to the side of the communist army! If you dare to run and throw guns, there are guns pointed at you here! Whether the communist army kills you depends on your luck! Aren't you thinking about the past all day, isn't that right? Chance?"
It turned out to be such a vicious method!The soldiers were furious, and someone suddenly picked up a gun, cursing and trying to get violent.Although Lao Dan was extremely angry, he was still able to keep calm and stopped the brothers with a wave of his hand.He stepped forward to block the captain's gun, gritted his teeth and said slowly:
"Sir, I and this group of brothers were born and died, defended here, and did not lose an inch of the position. Brothers have no credit but also hard work. Now Ma Liuhe and Lai Xunzi will be shot if they make a mistake in an idea. Don't be afraid of the cold, soldiers. God damn it! There are no reinforcements behind here, no food, no drink, no bullets, and you will be shot when you go out to shit, and occasionally some homesickness can't stand it, you can't look at the situation of these brothers Spare them once?" The more Lao Dan spoke, the more angry he became, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his blushing face made his scar look extraordinarily hideous.
"I know that this happens in every ditch, and it's not a strange thing! You don't need your mother to talk about military law with me. If you really want to kill them, kill me first!"
After hearing what he said, the soldiers were unambiguous, and pointed their guns at the bastards of the gendarmerie. The bolts of the guns were pulled together, and they only waited for the company commander to give an order.
The captain was taken aback.This stupid company commander suddenly became so tough that he dared to go against him?But looking at the guns pointed at them, the captain and several military policemen felt a little weak in their calves. The captain hurriedly put on sunglasses to hide his nervousness.In the army, they usually have their nostrils turned upside down, and they often punish people with military laws and regulations. In fact, they themselves don't even know what the commander of the Communist Army is like, let alone wield a knife or gun in a decent manner.The group of soldiers in front of them were all rolled from the dead, and they didn't take their lives too seriously at all. If they were in a hurry, they would do anything.
"Company commander, don't take the blame for us. My life is as cheap as Tukela. It's nothing to die! Brothers, don't do this, it's not worth it, it's not worth it! Commander, let's go!" Zhou Laixun saw Seeing that the two sides were already at war, they couldn't help crying and knelt down.
Facing a circle of black gun muzzles, the captain stared at Lao Dan. He felt that the arrogance of these soldiers must be suppressed, otherwise this mission would not be possible.He slowly took out a piece of paper from his coat pocket, opened it with a flick, and held it in front of Lao Dan.
"I don't know how to read, what did I write?" Lao Dan felt guilty when he saw the cultural characters, and his face turned red in an instant.
"You can't read, and you don't know the red badge of the regiment headquarters? This is a punishment notice from the regiment headquarters to the two of them! Ah? You can see clearly, execute on the spot, and execute immediately! Do you understand?"
The captain put away the paper with a "wow", and said to Lao Dan with a smug expression on his face.
"Which eye do you want me to look at you? Who the hell hasn't seen blood? Hasn't killed anyone? Or you shoot them in front of me? We don't lack guns, but bullets and shells. The communist army deserves it for killing them, and it saves us from wasting bullets! Maybe the communist army will really let them go? Go up!"
Ma Liuer and Zhou Laixun tremblingly walked into the trench.Zhou Laixun had been crying into a ball of mud, and Ma Liu'er helped him to stand up.They looked back, and Ma Liuer spat at the gendarmes and said:
"Brother, brothers, the men are on their way! Come to Xunzi, don't embarrass the company! Are you crying for your mother?"
The two hung their guns and walked forward slowly under the painful eyes of the soldiers.Several gendarmes had raised their guns.Lao Dan's heart was twisted like a knife, and he wished he could shoot this hideous chicken?Mr Ba.Now that the national army is a bit defeated, he already knew that the army was rectifying military discipline, and the gendarmerie frequently dispatched to kill people.Now that the captain is holding military regulations as an arrow, even if he kills Ma Liuer and Lai Xunzi in such a goddamn way, he is still "following the rules"!I can't figure it out anyway!He suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, sweating profusely in anxiety but helpless.
At this time, Zhou Laixun was so frightened that his legs and feet trembled and he couldn't walk anymore. Ma Liuer dragged him forward with difficulty.Between the positions of the two armies in Nuo Da, two lonely soldiers of the national army walked towards the position of the communist army.The soldiers on both sides stared at them with wide eyes, and only the heavy footsteps of the two could be heard on the deadly silent battlefield.It was as if a thousand catty weights were tied to the legs of the two of them, and every step forward was extremely difficult, even though Ma Liuer had experienced many battles, he was also trembling at this time.They heard the crackling sound of Communist soldiers pulling the bolts of their guns, and there were frozen dead bodies everywhere at their feet, some with their eyes open, and the two finally howled loudly.
When the two reached the middle of the positions of the two sides, there was a clear gunshot from the communist army position.Ma Liuer shook twice in response to the sound, but did not fall down. He pushed Zhou Laixun suddenly, turned around, and shouted towards the national army's position:
"You bastards, say hello to your grandpa, Lao Tzu! Come on, put down your gun and run forward, run!"
Zhou Laixun quickly dropped his gun and helmet, raised his hands and spread his feet, and ran towards the communist army position.
The gendarmes fired!The bullet hit Ma Liuer's broad body, and blood mist burst out.Ma Liu'er struggled, gushing blood from his mouth, trying to block the bullets fired at Zhou Laixun.Almost all the bullets from the submachine gun of the military police shot at Ma Liuer, and the veteran Ma Liuer finally fell to the ground under the dense bullets and let out a long howl.
Zhou Laixun immediately ran to the Communist army's position. A "bang" sounded, and the incoming messenger who was running was shocked, flew a few meters, fell to the ground, and did not move anymore.When Lao Dan saw the captain holding a rifle, white smoke was coming out of the muzzle, and the blood rushed up immediately. He grabbed the captain's rifle and punched him on the head.The captain was caught off guard and fell heavily on the ground, his sunglasses were smashed to pieces, and the broken lens cut his cheek, bleeding profusely immediately.Angrily, he took out his pistol and pointed it at Lao Dan, and the gendarmes also turned their guns around one after another.The soldiers had already gritted their teeth with anger, and surrounded them with loud curses, and raised their machine guns in a clatter.A soldier pressed down the muzzle of the gendarme's gun with one hand, and put a bayonet across his neck with the other. Seeing this, the other two gendarmes threw their guns away in fright and raised their hands.
The captain got up slowly by himself, wiped the blood off his face, and said grimly: "Okay, you have the guts! If you have the guts, you let them shoot?"
After punching the bastard, Lao Dan's anger calmed down a little. He immediately realized that this damned impulse might bring dire consequences. Seeing that the soldiers were already firing the guns of the military police, he hurriedly shouted:
"Stop! Everyone stop!"
The captain spat a mouthful of blood at Lao Dan, and beat his two scorched yellow and bloody teeth on Lao Dan's chest. He threw away the blood-stained handkerchief, pointed at Lao Dan with gritted teeth, but said nothing, his fingers flicked up and down.
"Go away! Otherwise, the communist army will rush up, and I will fill you all in!"
Lao Dan knew that the captain would not let it go, so what could he do?It is unlikely that he will be severely punished for this, after all, his position is still very good.In the siege, except for the punishment for deserters, the general military regulations are like a bitch, and you can play as you please.
The soldiers unloaded the gendarmes and returned the guns to them.These disaster stars finally left, and Lao Dan breathed a sigh of relief.He walked to the trench, picked up the binoculars and looked over. The bodies of Ma Liu and Zhou Laixun were still there. The two soldiers who were still alive just now had become zombies. lie there.The wind started to blow on the ground, rolling up patches of yellow soil foam, swirling and scattering on them, and several black and chirping big birds had already started circling high and low above their corpses...
The morning sun had already risen, and Lao Dan was surprised to see that the communist army had already dug up the trenches that had been blown up in the middle of the night, and moved forward 30 meters away from the place where Zhou Laixun fell. But a few steps away.
In the afternoon, the temperature plummeted, the earth was cold, and the gray sky seemed to be about to snow.There was a deathly silence on the entire position, only the chorus of the communist army was heard in the distance.The soldiers had all dispersed, each with a heavy heart, Lao Dan couldn't bear to reprimand them anymore, even though he knew there would still be brothers who would escape.Who wants to die here?He doesn't know what to do?Seeing that the communist army is pushing forward day by day, and the national army is retreating day by day, and the weather is getting colder every night, who is not panicked?Everyone knew that the communist army's big charge was about to begin, and there was not even a bird's shadow of their own reinforcements.The supplies dropped by the plane are extremely limited, just like scratching lice with a straw stick, it is not worth hitting a ball at all, not to mention that it is rare and rare with each passing day.People in other companies have already shot and killed people for a cotton coat or two cans of canned food.I heard from the soldiers of the 5th company that another battalion went to the
