Chapter 10 Chapter 5 Great Wall Online (1)

The Northwest Field Army entered the front line of Yulin on August 5, and at dawn on the 6th, they attacked the enemy from Shenmu and Fugu counties on the banks of the Tuwei River in the east to Boluobao, where the Great Wall meets the Wuding River in the west.After fierce fighting day and night, after annihilating the enemy's two regiments, two battalions and the reactionary local armed forces in four counties, all units of the Northwest Field Army marched towards the city of Yulin one after another.Then, two all-night sieges were carried out against it. Our army always attacks at night; the main attacking force retreats during the day, leaving only a few troops to stick to the captured suburban positions and monitor the enemy.

At dawn on the third day, when the main attacking force retreated, the first company led by Zhou Dayong was left behind, and together with the brother troops, stood firm in the western suburbs of Yulin City. Zhou Dayong climbed on a mound and observed the surroundings.On the yellow sand dunes, there are blackened bomb craters everywhere; many fortifications and traffic trenches have been blown up.The branches and leaves on a row of willow trees around him were all shot out by the bullets, and the little birds that lived on the trees at night were killed by the bullets and fell under the trees.There are a few big trees around, allowing the shells to dig up their roots and throw them aside.The battle at night turned out to be so intense!

When the sun was out, the enemy started a fierce bombardment.The shells tore through the air, making a heart-piercing whistling sound.Where the shell exploded, the flames rose, the splashed mud fell, and the smoke was so smoky that people couldn't keep their eyes open! Zhou Dayong rolled down the mound, passed through the smoke, jumped into the fortifications, and shouted: "Comrades, prepare grenades, the enemy will counterattack!" The soldiers moved nervously in the trenches. The enemy's counterattack forces were not many, so they were quickly repelled. The enemy bombarded and counterattacked uninterruptedly for six hours, but to no avail.

At night, our army launched an attack on Yulin City again, and the sound of guns enveloped Yulin City like a strong wind.The enemy roared in panic on the city wall, dipped cotton, wool, and quilts in oil, set them on fire, and threw them outside the city wall. The flames surrounded Yulin City. Zhou Dayong led the soldiers of the first company, carried up the ladder, and attacked the west gate of Yulin City.They attacked a place about a hundred meters away from the city wall. Suddenly, a battalion correspondent rolled over from the muddy water, grabbed Zhou Dayong's clothes, and said, "The battalion commander ordered: Your company should withdraw to the starting point of the attack."

Zhou Dayong was covered in mud, his mouth was parched, his heart was full of anger, and he wanted to punch the correspondent twice.He asked hoarsely, "Why?" "Who knows! Anyway, it's the order of the battalion chief." The troops of the 1st Company withdrew to the starting point of the attack. Zhou Dayong crawled in the muddy water, shells exploded around him, and dirt, branches, and stones fell on his back.He gritted his teeth resentfully, blood gushed all over his body, and it seemed like something was about to explode in his chest.He thought: "Retreat! What are you doing!"

At this time, Zhou Dayong heard the stretcher team members crawling behind him - fellow villagers, chattering: "Our team won't play Yulin anymore?" "Who said no to beating? If you keep talking nonsense, I will cramp you!" Several black shadows crawled to Zhou Dayong's side. "Company commander, why are you retreating? We must fight up, and peel off the skin of these traitors!" Ma Quanyou said. "Company commander, we will die on Yulin City!" Li Jiangguo was full of anger. Zhou Dayong thumped the ground with his fist and said, "You squeezed here to be bombarded? If you are ordered to retreat, retreat! Go, take control of the troops!"

The enemy fired flares one after another.Flares hung in the sky like big electric lights, illuminating our military positions on the outskirts of the city.Taking advantage of the light of the flares, the enemy fired violently with all kinds of artillery fire.Flames from shell explosions tore through the night sky like lightning. Zhou Dayong crawled in the rice fields for a while, jumped into the ditch for a while, crawled forward in the yellow sand for a while, bent down and jumped forward for a while.He ran to the left for dozens of meters, and came face to face with instructor Zhang Pei.Zhang Pei turned around and said, "I'm looking for you, come here!"

His left hand was bandaged and unable to crawl.Bending down, braving dense bullets, like flying, ran back dozens of steps, crossed the ditch, jumped off the ridge, and climbed into a depression.His movements were so quick and light that even Zhou Dayong was amazed. Zhang Pei and Zhou Dayong crawled side by side. Zhou Dayong asked: "Instructor, the troops have withdrawn. Should we attack immediately?" "Unfortunate place! The muddy water has soaked the intestines into a paste! Dayong, our field army will all be dragged away!" Zhou Dayong gasped, bowed his waist, as if about to jump up, and asked urgently, "All withdraw?"

Zhang Pei gently pressed Zhou Dayong's back, and said: "Don't worry, the troops will all be withdrawn. --Look at this nasty flare! Hurry up and try to rescue the wounded. --The enemy is coming from the west The reinforcements organized the thirty-six divisions and rushed towards Yulin City along both sides of the Great Wall. Now we have entered a place twenty or thirty miles away from the city. Let's withdraw, immediately!" Zhou Dayong gritted his teeth and said: "We have been attacking for several days and nights, and the troops also suffered casualties. Could it be that we can take advantage of the enemy for nothing?"

Zhang Pei said: "Why did you take advantage of him in vain? We retreated from the outskirts of Yulin to fight the enemy better." A row of soldiers walked back from Zhou Dayong and the others.Some of them carried heavy machine guns, and some carried small cannons.There was the call of pack mules at the back, probably the artillerymen were pulling the cannons back from the muddy water. Zhang Pei said: "The head of the regiment ordered: When the main force retreats, our battalion will serve as cover. When our battalion retreats, your company will serve as cover. After your company completes its mission and retreats, go north a few miles to the Great Wall. Head of the regiment Said, send a cavalry communicator to contact you under the big tree beside the Great Wall. Remember, you must be calm and mobile when retreating!"

Zhou Dayong returned to the company's position, bit Wang Chengde's ear for a while, and then summoned the cadres to arrange to cover the retreat of the main force. After a while, except for a few covering troops, all the troops of the Northwest Field Army disappeared without a trace. They seemed to fly away on the wind blowing from the desert, or they seemed to fall into the ground suddenly. Zhou Dayong said: "Old Wang, it is almost time for us to retreat. There are seven wounded here, two damaged machine guns and a small cannon. You take the wounded and the broken weapons first to chase the troops. I will sacrifice the After the comrade's body was buried, it was taken down with a clatter." "Yes. This way, the troops will withdraw quickly." Twenty minutes after Wang Chengde retreated, Zhou Dayong repelled the enemy's counterattack again. After Zhou Dayong completed the cover task, he dragged the troops northward for more than three miles, and arrived at the contact point designated by the instructor - a big tree. The bright flames on the city wall of Yulin can still be seen.The enemy also stepped up their shooting, with stray bullets whistling overhead. Zhou Dayong sent correspondents everywhere to search for the person who contacted them, but they were nowhere to be found.Suddenly, he heard the trembling neighing of war horses. Zhou Dayong led the soldiers and ran over following the sound of the horse.He flashed it with a flashlight: The cavalry communicator lay stretched out under the horse's head, the bridle wrapped around his arm, his gun thrown aside.The correspondent was killed by a stray bullet!Zhou Dayong's heart was icy cold! The fighters buried the correspondent. When Zhou Dayong is with his main force, even if the enemy is overwhelmed, he is still calm: eat when he needs to, sleep when he needs to, and don't care.Now, his body is as cold as the forest, his heart is hairy, and his hair is standing on end!He asked himself anxiously: where did the troops go?It was dark, and I couldn't see my teeth when I opened my mouth.what!What should we do on this windy and sandy Great Wall Line?Where are we going?Has the main force retreated east along the Great Wall?What are you doing there?The troops went west along the Great Wall?The enemy reinforcements came from the west, and our main force is probably going to fight the enemy reinforcements.But when Instructor Zhang handed over the task before retreating, he didn't say a word about "hitting aid"!Zhou Dayong's heart was hot and irritable.Oh, how many unforeseen difficulties and dangers lie hidden in the unfathomable night! He asked the correspondent to shine a flashlight, looking for road signs sprinkled with lime by the advancing troops.No hope - the containment team wiped all the road signs.Some soldiers crawled on the ground and smelled it with their noses, because there was a smell of mule and horse excrement in the past, but all efforts were in vain! All of a sudden, a strong wind blew in the desert, and the strong wind whipped up black clouds all over the sky, and the sand and stones hit people's faces with pain.Not a good sign, the wind is the head of the rain.Sure enough, the sky in the distance flickered, and thunder rumbled all over the sky.At the beginning, heavy raindrops took advantage of the strong wind and hit the soldiers in the face. After a while, the heavy rain fell down.Wind, electricity, thunder, and rain are twisted into one force, roaring, flashing, ringing, and falling.The soldiers were wrapped in wind and rain, unable to move their feet. ... Zhou Dayong took the soldiers and walked forward fumblingly.It was dark and dark.In order not to fall behind, three or five soldiers would pull a strap and leave, or put their own white handkerchiefs on the backpacks behind them as a mark so that the people behind could follow up.They walked six or seven miles with great difficulty, got drenched and fell covered in mud.No matter how difficult it is, you have to muster all your strength to move forward. The lightning flashed, and the soldier saw a black thing flashing in front of him, like a forest.Hey!They are cola, there are people living in the front, the village.A closer look, it really is a small village.two Zhou Dayong wanted to drag the troops into the village, because in this windy and rainy night, it is very likely to walk into the desert by the wrong way, or to "encounter" the enemy in the wrong direction. Zhou Dayong asked the soldiers to squat in the field, and he took a few cadres to the village for reconnaissance. In the village, there are dozens of dilapidated houses, and the doors are tightly closed.Can't hear the dog bite.Lifeless.In fact, the fellow villagers in every household had blown out the lights, covered their children's mouths, and put their ears to the cracks of doors and windows to listen.They live in fear in fear: in these days of war and chaos, who knows at what moment the disaster of family destruction will fall to whom! Zhou Dayong sent a guard and dragged the troops into the village. There was a dilapidated small temple in the northwest corner of the village. Zhou Dayong called the branch committee members Wang Huhu, Li Jiangguo, Ma Changsheng, Ma Quanyou, and third platoon leader Ren Shixing to the small temple for a meeting. Zhou Dayong twisted the water from his trouser legs, and then twisted the water from his hat.He was too lazy to talk, full of anger and dissatisfaction.He couldn't figure it out, the troops fought for several days and nights, and the outskirts of Yulin City were cleared out. It seemed that the city was about to be breached, but an order came to retreat.What is this for?It is said that reinforcements are coming, and when the reinforcements come, hit the reinforcements! Isn't the method of "besieging the city and fighting for aid" often used?I just want to retreat! Where is it not the same as fighting? Holding a gun, Wang Huo stood in the rain, whistling softly, as if he felt that being in the rain was quite a pleasure.Ma Changsheng leaned against the wall and squatted on the ground silently, gritting his teeth.Ma Quan sat down on the altar, anxiously beating the statue with his fist.He's full of fire, and what he needs are fierce fights and intense action.As for Li Jiangguo, he took out the flashlight for a while to play with, and then took off his hat and put it on again, as if something in his stomach was holding him back.He asked: "Tiger, you always have tobacco leaves, come on, give up a little bit. My voice, oh, my grandma, it's so itchy that I can't speak!" Wang Huo said: "Tobacco leaves? The intestines and stomachs have been soaked into tofu brains by the rain!" Ma Quanyou said: "Jiangguo, I haven't seen that smoking can kill people. You just light up, don't be so fussy!" Li Jiangguo said, "Come on, go on, go on! Why don't you stop smoking?" Ma Changsheng said: "Jiang Guo, don't be foolish, others won't treat you as dumb." The third platoon leader said: "Forget it, you always quarrel vigorously, listen to the company commander!" Zhou Dayong thought over what Zhang Pei said to him during the retreat, from beginning to end, but still couldn't figure it out.He said: "Comrades, it seems that our troops did not go to the enemy's reinforcements." This is the really surprising news.Ma Quanyou hit the rock on the table and jumped off.Li Jiangguo crouched on the ground.Even Wang Huo, who is famous for his composure, moved half a step closer to the company commander.Everyone has a big rock in their hearts!No one spoke and no one made a sound, it seemed that everyone was holding their breath tightly.The rain was falling, and the wind was whistling strangely.The night wraps the world tightly! Zhou Dayong summed up: I feel angry in my heart, and the cadres are so irritable, so what will the soldiers think?His sense of responsibility as a leader overwhelmed his churning emotions.He said: "Comrades, don't worry!" Ma Quan became angry and said: "Yulin City will not fight, nor will the reinforcements fight. This is...hey!" He stomped his feet. Li Jiangguo said, "That's right! Don't fight this, don't fight that, just keep going, let's go!" Zhou Dayong mustered all his strength to make his voice firm: "It's not like our comrades don't understand the principles of our army's operations. The superior said that our troop transfer is to attack the enemy more powerfully. We must believe what the superior said. Let's go, Go to catch up with the main force. Perhaps, we will catch up with the troops quickly; maybe, it will take a lot of trouble to catch up with the troops. Anyway, we can't choose all the best ideas, and we have to take advantage of the disadvantages. Comrades, let's talk long and short The heavy burden has been placed on our shoulders." He thought for a while, and then deliberately said: "If we leave the main force, some people will be afraid of the enemy? Anyway, I am not afraid of the sky falling and the earth falling." Li Jiangguo stood up and said, "Who's afraid? We haven't paid attention to those gray ghosts of the Kuomintang for a long time! Let's just say that we can't catch up with the main force for a while. Beat him. Let Chiang Kai-shek look through their family trees to see what kind of people they are and whether they are our opponents." Ma Quan put his hands into his waist, stood there stiffly, caught the end of Li Jiangguo's words, and said: "The enemy is not superhuman! We have a head on our shoulders, two legs and a gun. He is a ghost! Go! Fight!" Ma Changsheng said: "Fight, fight! You two are blacksmiths, you can fight!" The third platoon leader said: "That's right, you have to have a way to walk, and you have to have a way to fight!" Wang Huo moved back and forth with his gun in hand, sometimes stepping on the muddy water with his feet lightly.He is not as impassioned as Li Jiangguo, nor is he as red-faced and thick-necked as Ma Changsheng because of his impatience.He said: "Jiangguo, Quanyou, the rain is pouring down, but it still can't extinguish your anger? Now, our urgent task is to tell every party member: unite everyone, and resolutely chase the main force. We only have Go, go, go! If you meet an enemy, kill him if you can; if you can't, get up and go. Keep calm, don't act recklessly." Zhou Dayong said: "Anyway, we are few people, we sit invisible and walk without a trace. If we want to fight, we will fight and leave. But the tiger is also right: we can't do it recklessly. If we do it recklessly, our noses and eyes will have to be replaced. Position. Jiang Guohe has said one thing, and one thing is correct: no matter how serious the situation is, no matter what kind of blows hit us, we can stand it. Comrades, we must make it clear to the soldiers: our main force It is reasonable for the troops to retreat. When we fight, we must fight where we want to fight, and only fight when it is beneficial to us; if it is not beneficial to us, we would rather go around with the enemy in circles than fight!" Li Jiangguo said: "Company commander! Who doesn't understand the principles of these battles? But when encountering practical problems, people can't get over it in their hearts, and they can't make a turn in their minds--" Ma Quanyou interrupted Li Jiangguo, saying: "Drop it! The size is fine, it seems that the lips are worn thin." Wang Huhu said: "Anyway, we have to work hard. Li Yuming, a new soldier who joined our company a few days ago, is crying. Is it because of fear, or is there another reason? He didn't say a word when he asked death and life.what!He seemed to have swallowed his tongue. " The leader of the third platoon asked, "Li Yuming? That's the soldier from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region." Needless to say, when the troops retreated from Yulin City, he was also full of anger! " Zhou Dayong said: "Tiger, you worry about helping that young man Li Yuming." After the meeting, Zhou Dayong and the others walked towards the village. Thunder rumbled a few times, and the rain picked up again.Rain, pouring down from head to head, pouring down the neck; wet clothes stuck to the body.Zhou Dayong took advantage of the flash and saw soldiers holding guns in groups of three and five, sitting back to back in the muddy water.They slept soundly.Some cadres in the squad walked back and forth beside the team, and some stood with their backs against the wall and snored. Li Jiangguo came to report: "Company commander! There is a way, there is a way. I have invited a fellow. He has just returned from serving as a guide for our main force." Zhou Dayong questioned the fellow for a while, and after figuring out the direction of the main force's movement, he shouted to his comrades: "Stand up!" The soldiers stood up from the muddy water. "Ah, how sleepy you are, if you don't get up again, you will be soaked in sauerkraut!" "Wake up, what are you dawdling about?" "Dinner is ready, there are several dishes, whoever wakes up late has no share!" "Nonsense, it's good to sleep in the muddy water for a while. Who's bluffing?" "You are still confused and sloppy, the company commander is speaking!" Zhou Dayong said: "Comrades, you are sitting in the muddy water. Is it bitter? Bitter. But no matter how hard we are, we can't disturb the fellow villagers. Comrades, let's go now. Whoever is hungry, take the bread from his flour bag Take out the flour and eat a few handfuls raw; if you want to drink water, there is plenty of rain on the side of the road." A warrior asked, "Shall I have something to eat now?" Zhou Dayong said: "No, eat while walking." Zhou Dayong took his troops and walked along a small path beside the Great Wall through the muddy water. They walked five or six miles when they heard gunshots.In the blink of an eye, I heard several horses galloping towards me again.Zhou Dayong asked the soldiers to stop the horses, and when asked, they turned out to be cavalry scouts from the "Brave Department" of our army. A scout asked Zhou Dayong: "Which unit are you? The Hero Department? Okay, then hurry to the south and head towards our border area. Hurry up! The enemy is swarming up. In an hour or so, it will be daylight. Comrade! We have Mission, let's go first." Several horses rushed southeast. Following the fierce shooting, the enemy frantically pressed down from the northwest.Zhou Dayong was very surprised: which part of the enemy is this?So crazy, so aggressive. Walk!It's bad to be stuck with the enemy!He hurriedly led the soldiers to run to the southeast. But an enemy approached them and surrounded them with their forces.The enemy howled like a beast, and the grenades were thrown. ... Zhou Dayong led more than 60 soldiers, fighting and retreating. ... Although Zhou Dayong and his soldiers jumped out of the enemy's encirclement, they lost time, and they did not get far away from the enemy before dawn.The enemy pursued them closely and blocked their retreat with artillery fire. Zhou Dayong got angry because of his violent anger: "Soldiers come to block! Damn, even if the enemy is full of mouths, how many people can he eat!" Three In combat, the situation is changing rapidly. At dawn, Zhou Dayong led the soldiers and had just repelled the vanguard of the enemy chasing them, when suddenly there was a sound behind them.He turned his head to look back, and saw thousands of glowing bullets shooting head-on.The enemy moved horizontally from a distance of one hundred meters behind them, and the figure of the enemy could be clearly seen. Zhou Dayong's mind turned quickly: "The enemy has inserted behind us!" His heart reached his throat nervously, his face turned livid, his eyes and eyebrows stood up, the blood all over his body rushed to his head, and the veins on his neck burst out.The enemy moved in behind them.The enemy wants to use this sudden movement and fierce firepower to numb their minds, dispel their judgment, and destroy the will of the people's soldiers.At this time, Zhou Dayong seemed to hear the commander Zhao Jin standing behind him and shouting to him: "Zhou Dayong, now, your voice, your movements, and the expression on your face are all the cadres and soldiers who pay the most attention. Now , Bravery and composure are the greatest skills and the greatest wisdom." Zhou Dayong ordered: "Shoot on the spot!" Various thoughts flashed through Zhou Dayong's mind like lightning.He looked at the soldiers.At this time, if there is one person screaming and running around, then this person's wavering will betray victory and betray all comrades.But no one was so shaken.The soldiers all fell down and fired calmly.Zhou Dayong once again felt: the force in his hands is powerful and indestructible. The soldiers are brave, but in this emergency situation, they need the commander's calm order and loud and firm encouragement very much. Zhou Dayong quickly commanded the soldiers to occupy several high grounds and resist on the spot.He shouted to the soldiers: "Here I am!" Pointing to the ground under his feet, he seemed to express his determination. "Comrades, it's time to make meritorious service!" This resolute voice mobilized all the soldiers' military training, discipline concepts, and class hatred more fully. "Shoot! Shoot at the enemy!" The overwhelming shouts of the soldiers strongly encouraged Zhou Dayong.Zhou Dayong clearly felt that all the power of the soldiers was transmitted to him, making him very tall and powerful. Zhou Dayong is clear: in any dangerous situation, all your loyalty can make you think of career, mission and soldiers instead of personal, then you can keep calm, calm and clear-headed; His courage overwhelms the enemy and becomes an outstanding hero.He had his hat pushed back, and his clothes were unbuttoned, and he carried a buckshot, with a stern, fierce look in his eyes.He was just as brave as an iron statue. Zhou Dayong handed over bravery and calmness to the soldiers. The emotion of hating the enemy controlled Zhou Dayong and the soldiers.Right now everyone can only think about one thing: shoot at the enemy. When the sun was about to rise, three enemy planes made in the United States rushed over.The enemy planes screamed and swooped down to straf and drop bombs.The enemy plane was so crazy: when it swooped down, it wiped the treetops and fanned the wet sand on the ground.The enemy desperately dumped steel on Zhou Dayong's head.All kinds of heavy artillery shells tore through the air, made a strange whistling sound, and exploded. Dust, stones, and shrapnel were scattered in all directions, and the black smoke column withstood the sky.The bullets flying high in the sky screamed strangely "every day", and the bullets hitting the side burrowed into the soil with a puff, and the ground was hit by the bullets so that there were blossoming soil flowers.The land around the soldiers was like a pot of boiling water.Under the belly of the soldiers, the earth shrank violently and shook.They were lying on the ground like a wreck in the waves. The struggle of life and death overwhelms all human emotions.Right now, all of Zhou Dayong's ideas have become very simple: resolutely and skillfully open a way out. Zhou Dayong ran under a big tree, his eyes quickly swept around: some of the enemies directly in front were shooting, some were seizing favorable terrain, and some were in motion. It seemed that there was at least one regiment; Submachine guns fired, some carried heavy machine guns and ran, and some were doing simple fortifications. It seemed that there was at least one battalion.Zhou Dayong brandished his shell gun and ran back and forth under the heavy enemy fire.A platoon in his hands was reserved for the reserve team, led by Ma Changsheng.He ordered Li Jiangguo to lead more than 30 soldiers to occupy the high ground directly in front of him, not retreating an inch, and counterattacking the enemy.He also ordered Wang Huo to lead the two squads to turn around and fight back against the enemies behind them, to open a way out. After Wang Huo accepted the order, he knelt on the ground with his left leg, grasped the rifle with his left hand, leaned back, swung his right hand forward, and led the soldiers without saying a word, pounced on the enemy behind him! Zhou Dayong ran to the most prominent high ground in the middle of the position.Li Jiangguo directs, shoots, and shouts here.Li Jiangguo, a tall warrior, stands here like an iron wall.His cotton coat was open, revealing the black and dirty white shirt.His face was flushed and he was sweating.His heroic gesture made Zhou Dayong feel firm and proud.He thought, can the enemy take advantage of someone like Li Jiangguo?He had a feeling of contempt for the enemy from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Dayong asked: "How is it?" Li Jiangguo opened Yuan Biaobiao's eyes, stared straight ahead, and said without looking back: "Enough for him to eat and drink! Two attacks repelled." Rifle grenades exploded into clouds of black smoke in the sky.At a glance, it was all fireworks. Zhou Dayong lay down, put his hands on the ground, and raised his head to observe the positions of Li Jiangguo's left and right wings: Ma Quanyou of the left wing led a squad to guard a small temple; The group occupies a cemetery.Zhou Dayong saw this situation and thought: "Li Jiangguo is a good commander!" He shouted: "Li Jiangguo, is it okay to squat here all the time? Make a short countercharge to the enemy!" Li Jiangguo tore off his hat fiercely, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "If you get the chance, hit him!" The soldiers kept focusing on shooting at the enemy, and only when Zhou Dayong shouted to Li Jiangguo did they notice that the company commander was beside them.The soldiers felt that the company commander was standing beside them, and that was an indestructible backer.A force passed through the soldiers, and they exchanged excited glances. Zhou Dayong looked at the soldiers and saw that their bodies were covered in dirt and their faces were pitch black.Some soldiers have blood mixed with mud on their shoulders and backs, but they still lie prone and shoot in the fortifications. When a person is on the verge of danger, his heart beats violently, but when the danger surrounds him, his thoughts are pure and concentrated, and he doesn't care about his own life and death.This is exactly how Zhou Dayong and his soldiers feel now.Zhou Dayong shouted: "Comrades, white knives go in and red knives go out, use bayonets to make a majestic fight!" The soldiers shouted: "Company commander, we will deal with the enemy firmly!" "Plucking the fur from the tiger's mouth, he will feel better!" "Knife is not afraid of his thick neck!" When the enemy artillery bombarded desperately, our soldiers couldn't lift their heads, and the enemy infantry took this opportunity to crawl forward; when the enemy artillery fire stopped, two or three hundred bandits rushed to the middle of the position guarded by Li Jiangguo.When the enemy climbed to 30 to 40 meters in front of our army's position, Li Jiangguo shouted: "Fight!" The soldiers threw platoon grenades.Smoke rose, and fragments of the bomb whizzed through the air.Some of the enemies rolled and scrambled back, while some stuck to the ground and didn't even dare to lift their heads. This is a good time for a short counter charge.But it is not easy to get up and charge; it is even more difficult to pierce the enemy's chest eye to eye with a bayonet. Li Jiangguo was about to jump out of the bunker, but Zhou Dayong jumped up first, and shouted with all his strength: "Heroes, go!" His shout was like thunder on a sunny day, scaring the courage of the enemy and arousing the prestige of the soldiers .Zhou Dayong rushed forward, and Li Jiangguo also led the soldiers to jump out of the fortifications and rush towards the enemy.Smoke, dust, shouts, bayonets gleaming with cold light... The power of the people's fighters is so fierce and irresistible, it seems that this is not the impact force of a dozen or two people's fighters, but the power of thousands and tens of thousands of people's fighters. Here comes this little battlefield.The enemy panicked, turned around and ran away... The enemy supervising team shot their fleeing soldiers with machine guns.But not even death can hold back the crowd that flows back like a tide. ... The fierce battle is non-stop.The enemy supervising team forced the soldiers to attack the right wing of Li Jiangguo's position.There, two battle groups supported the attack of a hundred enemies. Li Jiangguo said: "Company commander, you command here, I will take a squad to reinforce!" Zhou Dayong stopped him and said: "I'll go!" He didn't allow Li Jiangguo to argue, so he shouted to more than a dozen soldiers behind him: "Follow me!" Ning Jinshan's face was bruised, and he jumped out of the fortification with his comrades, carrying a grenade.Seeing that there was still blood on his sallow face, Zhou Dayong said, "Ning Jinshan, don't go, take a rest!" "Company commander! I'm here to fight, not to rest!" Zhou Dayong really wanted to order Ning Jinshan to go down.Then I thought about it again: Is it because of these brave and unyielding people that dozens of us can withstand the attack of one or two thousand enemies?There are very few people, who can rest now?Had to let him go. When Zhou Dayong led the soldiers to the right-wing position, the enemy had already broken through our position.Li Yuming was leading the soldiers to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, with six or seven bayonets rushing from left to right in the crowd of enemies. ... Zhou Dayong led the soldiers to catch up and shouted: "Communists, revolutionary fighters, kill!" The soldiers heard the company commander's voice and received new strength support, and quickly suppressed the enemy. After a few minutes, the enemy fired again.The sound of shells exploding and branches breaking.Several large rocks were blown to pieces; a tree as thick as a bowl was uprooted by shells and fell aside.Dirt, shrapnel, and stone flakes fell on the soldiers like a torrential rain. The enemy was beaten down, and we always won this round, and the soldiers greeted the company commander happily. Some soldiers are talking about: "It's dangerous!" "Danger? We sent danger to the enemy with bayonets!" Zhou Dayong liked the heroic conversation of the soldiers very much.He felt that without them, he, Zhou Dayong, would be nothing; with them, he, Zhou Dayong, would be able to move mountains and open roads, and fight all over the world.He put his hands on the ridge and watched nervously.In the eyes of the soldiers, the two lights in the company commander's eyes were like two sharp bayonets.If the enemy wants to rush forward, the two sharp bayonets will pierce the enemy's chest. Company commander, he is everyone's hope. The soldiers dug a not very deep trench.Zhou Dayong ran along the trench.How strange!Some soldiers boasted, some told endless jokes, and some soldiers took out their study books that had been pierced by bullets and sorted them out.There is a soldier repairing his broken pen with great care.While repairing, he praised his craftsmanship to his comrades-in-arms and told the origin of his pen.Some soldiers are fighting for the precious cigarette butts. "What a big cigarette butt! One smoke per person, no snatching!" "Comrades, one day I will become the manager of a cigarette company, and everyone will come to smoke, and you can get enough money if you don't want money!" "Okay, what you say is what you say, and you can't change your mind!" A pleasant and relaxed feeling passed over Zhou Dayong's heart.This feeling reminded him of what political commissar Li Cheng said: the willpower of a proletarian soldier is much stronger than that of an enemy mechist. Zhou Dayong walked towards the wounded along the trench. Acting squad leader Li Yuming had just finished bandaging a seriously wounded man and was saying something. Li Yuming reported: "Company Commander, I shot Zhang Lianzhong!" It turned out that as soon as the enemy broke through our army's position, Zhang Lianzhong, a new liberation soldier, threw his gun and raised his hand to the enemy.Li Yuming sternly shouted: "Zhang Lianzhong!" Zhang Lianzhong didn't answer, but raised his hands.Li Yuming's body was full of fire and rushed straight to his head. He raised his gun with a "bang", and Zhang Lianzhong fell down in response. Li Yuming looked at Zhou Dayong and said repeatedly: "Company commander, I shot him! Company commander, in my heart..." Zhou Dayong grasped Li Yuming's shoulder blades with his hands like pliers, stared into his eyes, and said: "Yes, you are right. Merciless to traitors! Merciless to traitors!" Ning Jinshan said from the side: "Yu Ming! Why are you so sad? People who can't stand it will always part ways with us sooner or later!" Zhou Dayong thought: A few days ago, when Li Yuming joined the army with many peasants from northern Shaanxi, he was still clumsy.When he participated in the battle for the first time, he lay on his stomach in the trench with his head in his arms and his buttocks in the air, terrified to death.When the troops charged, he threw the grenade without removing the safety cover of the grenade.But now, he has become so firm and calm. The correspondent came running, sweating profusely, and reported to Zhou Dayong: "Wang Huhu said, please take the company commander and retreat quickly!" Zhou Dayong gathered the soldiers on the left and right wings of the position on the high ground in the middle of the position guarded by Li Jiangguo.He shouted: "Comrades, the comrades carrying the wounded go to the front, the Communists go to the back, rush out in one breath, don't fall behind!" Li Jiangguo took a step forward and said: "Company commander, you go, I will take two squads to cover!" Zhou Dayong held Li Jiangguo's hand tightly and said, "The burden of a thousand catties is on your shoulders!" "Company commander, without diamonds, we can't take on this porcelain burden. If I dare to shoulder this burden, I'm sure I'll make a name for myself!" Zhou Dayong said: "Okay. You support for ten minutes, then follow the route we are going down!" It was noon, and the miserable yellow sun was hanging overhead.Clouds are flying in the sky, and the misty heat from the ground rises. Zhou Dayong took the soldiers and withdrew to the southwest.The enemies who had been cut in half by Wang Huo were attacking from both ends, trying to block the gap opened by Wang Huo and the others. ...Soon, the two onslaught enemies will join forces.The gap opened by Wang Huo was blocked by the enemy.Zhou Dayong saw it clearly. Before the enemy had a firm foothold, he braved side fire from left and right and led the soldiers to rush towards the enemy with bayonets in their hands.The sound of killing, shouting, exploding platoon grenade... The enemy panicked, and each looked for favorable terrain.A thick and tall enemy officer, with a bare head and wearing a yellow singlet, with a gun in one hand and a broadsword in the other, shouted in the smoke like a demon blocking the road in the night, wanting his soldiers to be like him, Straighten your chest and stop our army.Zhou Dayong knocked down the enemy with one shot, and led the soldiers to rush out on the enemy lying on the ground! Soon, Li Jiangguo led the soldiers to follow up. After Zhou Dayong led the soldiers to break through, he saw that in this flat and deserted place, it was not easy to get rid of the enemy during the day. Zhou Dayong led the soldiers with a clear mind and occupied a village first.He thought: With a village as a support, he can buy time and persist until the evening. Persevere till the end of the day is victory.Four 村子里到处都是子弹箱、国民党士兵的烂鞋子、破军衣、乱七八糟的棉花、衣服、鸡毛、打死的牲口。烧起来的房子，冒烟吐火……老乡们跑光了。 战士们到处找水喝。可是哪里有一点水呢？敌人经过这个村子，把水喝光，把水缸打破。找水窖吧，国民党匪军把他们死去的十多个伤兵都丢到水窖里。战士们从拂晓到现在整整战斗了九个小时，米面屑没进口，肚子饿得发烧，渴得喉咙直冒火。 战士们坐在台阶上，他们把面袋取下来，一把一把地把生面粉往口里填；嘴边、胸腔的衣服上都是白扑扑的面粉。有的人还苦中作乐："多擦点粉，去扭秧歌！" 周大勇进了村子，立刻和王老虎、李江国查看地形。这是一个有三十来家人的村子。村子周围有一丈多高的围墙。村北百十公尺远，有一条东西横着的沟。村东是开阔地。村西南五十公尺远有一个小庙。小庙右侧是一条沙梁。周大勇让李江国带领一个班配备一挺机枪固守村西南的小庙和沙梁。他跟王老虎带领多一半战士们坚守村子。战士们紧张地掏枪眼，挖单人掩体、战壕、避弹坑。 周大勇爬在围墙上看：敌人大概有两个团的兵力从东、西、南三面向村子进攻。 敌人几十门大小炮，把成吨的钢铁向村子里倾倒。蒋贼的美国造飞机也疯狂地在村子上空投弹扫射。村子里房屋倒塌了，燃烧着。地下的土被炮弹翻起来变成了黑色的。火药味和灰尘呛得人出不来气。 敌人盲目地射击后，便举行攻击。敌人的两次攻击，都让周大勇指挥的英雄们打垮了。接着敌人便一连十多次，用机关枪赶着士兵们整营整连轮番不息地向上拥。 周大勇站在阵地前沿跟战士们并肩射击。他身上涌起狂潮般的力量，脸像锅底一样黑，眼睛喷火，满身泥土。枪弹在他头上嗖嗖地飞过，他连头也不低。他的耳朵让炮弹震得轰响，听不清子弹叫。猛的，五六颗重炮弹落在围墙边爆炸了，墙被打倒，气浪把周大勇掀在一边。他被深深地埋在土中，可是他从土中钻出来一跃而起，喊："同志们，共产党员们，坚决打呀！" 战士直起身子投弹，有的跳出工事端着轻机枪向敌人扫射。 "寸步不退！杀死敌人！"周大勇的一切情绪、想法，都紧紧地凝结在这一点上，危险的感觉，完全消失了。 这时村西南小庙边的战士也在猛烈战斗，刺刀在阳光下闪光，战士们的身影在炮火中闪动。 ... 通讯员小成从李江国坚持的地方跑来，上气不接下气地报告："连长，敌人突破小庙那里的阵地……阵地……李排长说……说……"周大勇忽地转身，一把扼住小成的胳膊，很凶地问："你慌什么？李江国说什么？要增援吗？" "不，不。李排长说，请连长放心，他会把敌人打下去，他会守住阵地的。他说，有他就有阵地！" 周大勇又派小成告诉李江国："要他再坚持一小时！" 李江国指挥十二名战士，打退了二百多敌人的六次进攻。 敌人吃了亏，变得更滑头了，不再瞎扑乱闯地冲锋了。他们发动第七次攻击以前，先用迫击炮、九二式步兵炮摧毁小庙子。小庙的房顶被炮弹掀去了。敌人又用平射炮炮弹一层一层地摧毁庙墙。小庙墙壁被炮弹打成锯齿形。碎砖块、弹片阵雨似地落下来。 李江国脸上很脏，淌着汗水，嘴唇擦破了点，流着血。在这一眨眼工夫就有成十次可能死亡的危险中，他脑子里激荡起来：想唱歌，想喊，想大声咒骂，保持不住情绪的平衡。可是，他一看战士们，立刻一切个人安危的想法都飞了。"战士们需要支持，战士们望着我！"这想法给了他很大力量。他身材显得格外高大，动作沉着敏快，神情严厉。 他号召："同志们，这是考验我们骨头的时候了！" 他带领战士们用破砖把墙垒起来。……敌人炮火摧毁了墙壁，他们又垒起来，摧毁了，垒起来，……炮弹打得砖块扬起，有三四个战士的头被砖块碰破。李江国被炮弹掀起的气浪摔倒了好几次。小庙的木料也烧起来了，站在浓烟烈火中的人民战士，猛烈地奋战。 李江国喊："同志们！手榴弹、刺刀、石头，有什么武器用什么武器。人在阵地在！" 战士们也像英雄的李江国一样：什么日常的情绪，什么个人安危，都让尖锐的生死斗争挤掉了。现在他们除了痛恨敌人、杀死敌人以外，没有别的任何想法。 战士们没有子弹了。一个战士建议："李排长，我去连长那里领子弹！" 李江国凶狠狠地喊："连长又不会生子弹！" "可是没有子弹……""没有子弹也要打仗！" 这时候，百十个敌人冲到小庙门口。战士们瞟了李江国一眼，李江国感觉到这眼光了。他喊："不怕死的，来！"他带着一股热风率领战士们冲入敌群，左冲右杀把百十个敌人搅得乱成一片，枪托、刺刀，猛击猛打。敌人各自逃命，慌乱得互相乱撞。李江国生擒了一个敌人，拖进庙子，从敌人身上解下子弹，又继续射击。 李江国奉命撤回村子。 太阳，像是钉在西边的天空，根本不动了。每一分钟似乎都无限地延长了！ 步步进逼，敌人快扑到村子的东围墙边了。 这工夫，王老虎爬在村东靠左面的短墙边，指挥七八名战士朝敌人射击。 王老虎不慌不忙地射击着，枪不虚发，枪响敌人倒。他看见一个敌人军官，在一个短墙背后时不时地伸出头，观察我军阵地，说："要瞧就瞧瞧吧，还能这么偷偷摸摸的瞧！"便"叭"的一枪，把那个敌人军官放倒了。他一边打还一边数： "一个，一对，一对半，两对，……半打儿……"他在一个地方打三四枪，立刻转移到另一个地方射击。靠近王老虎的战士，只见王老虎边放枪嘴里边嘟哝，也听不清他说些什么话。可是战士们的心，在王老虎手下跳得非常平稳。他们都照着王老虎的样儿射击。 ... 战士们正集中力量打击村子东边扑上来的敌人，另一股敌人突破了村西的围墙。马长胜指挥十一个战士，想斩断敌人的突破口，但是敌人一个连的兵力拚命地把突破口撕大，突进来了。十来个或是二三十个人组成的步兵群，抢占一堆堆的废墟、一堵堵的短墙、一座座的房子。不大一阵工夫，敌人占领了村子的一半。火焰、黑烟罩住了整个村子。 激烈的战斗，反映在周大勇脸上。他的脸色一阵通红一阵发黑，一阵暴躁一阵发凶。他总不能相信，他这身经百战的人和他的战士，经历了很多英勇的搏斗以后，就能牺牲在这村子里。他想起他曾经遇到过比现在危险十倍的情况，那时候眼看走到绝路上了，可是总杀出去了。目前的危险，又算得什么？真灵验，这想法，使他对面临的严重情况又全不在意了。他全部力量又都集中在最紧要的问题上：坚持到天黑。 周大勇指挥战士们和敌人争夺一尺一寸的土地。 为了争取一间房子、一堵墙、一堆废墟，战士都付出了血、汗；发挥了高度的顽强性和无限的忠诚。 但是，周大勇跟他的战士，终究让敌人压缩到村南段的四座院落中了。 往常，周大勇打仗的时候，一遇到攻击受挫或是部队伤亡大了，他就冒火，压不住自己的感情。因此，有时候他就不顾死活地跟敌人硬拚。目下，他浑身的血向头上冲，可是他按住了心头的三丈火，使尽力气保持冷静。这么，情况越来越危急，他反倒越来越精明、清醒。 周大勇仔细观察了一下，现在敌我只隔几堵墙；院子里到处是死角，子弹、炮弹的威胁并不大。可是敌人扔来的手榴弹像下雹子一般，猛烈的爆炸声像狂风一样吼。 周大勇，从这座短墙边跳到那座短墙边。他想，在这紧急的时刻，应该让战士们觉得：连长和我们在一块！ 他看着自己那些英勇沉着的战士，简单有力地鼓励他们几句。 战士们信心十足。他们只有一个念头：抬起头就射击。周大勇从战士们打穿的墙壁中，跑到了马全有他们坚守着的这座院子。 这废院子浓烟弥漫，房顶都塌下来了。有几间房子的土墙也被打塌，木料在熊熊大火里燃烧。 这里，有的战士被震得七窍出血，昏过去了，可是当他清醒了以后，又爬起来战斗。有的同志牺牲了，牺牲者的位置上又出现了一个人在那里射击。有的人满身是血，不承认自己负伤。有的人负重伤，不能战斗，但是他有一张嘴，他喊着，鼓励奋战中的战友。有的战士把机枪打红了，他就躺在地下，侧转身子给机枪上撒泡尿，机枪支支冒热气，接着又射击。有的战士捞住敌人的机枪，扭转就向敌人射击。到处都是寻找敌人弱点，打击敌人的英雄行为；到处都是猛扑、冲杀、肉搏、呐喊声。 ... "我们是党中央的警卫军！" "同志们，杀呀！" "杀呀！用手榴弹擂敌人！" 黑夜缓缓地来了！ 敌人四面发动总攻击了。战士们在烟火中奋战；嘴唇焦了，耳朵震聋了，眼睛熬红了！每一个人那滚烫的心都在猛烈地跳动。他们都在呼喊、互相鼓舞："为劳动人民战斗到底！" 周大勇从这个院子跑到那个院子。哪里打的激烈，哪里就能听到他威严、坚定的喊声。他充满感情的声音，像闪电一样划过夜空，振奋着战士们。哪里打的激烈，哪里就看到他矫健的身影。有时候他被烟火吞没了，眨眼，他又出现了，连战士们也觉得自己的连长有点神奇！ 周大勇跑到左边一座院子里。这里是马长胜跟四个战士坚守着。他们把敌人尸体垒起来，当工事利用。 火光映着马长胜的脸。那又脏又旧的单军衣，紧紧绷在他结实、宽阔的背上。他抱一挺机枪射击，旁边有个战士帮他压子弹，他的动作不快，像是在通常情形下固守阵地一样。除了手里的机枪不算，他跟前放着冲锋枪、带刺刀的步枪、枪榴弹、手榴弹、带"引信"的美国造六○炮弹。 周大勇弯下腰忽地纵到马长胜跟前，问："怎么样？" 马长胜用手背慢慢地擦着头上的汗，头也不回地说："就这样。" 周大勇问："敌人扑得蛮凶？" 马长胜口里像喷铁块："再凶，也没把他狗操的放在眼里！" 周大勇一条腿跪在地上；趁着火光，他看见离自己头半尺高的短墙头上，敌人子弹打起的石块乱飞；可是马长胜半截身子露在短墙上，用肩胛抵住机枪把子在射击。他不停地吐着口里的土，吼喊着。 周大勇喊："姿势低些！" 马长胜声音浊重地说："该低就低！" 马长胜的神气、声调，让周大勇心里产生了一种愉快而严肃的情感。周大勇又一次想：敌人能把这样的战士消灭？碰他妈的鬼！ 马长胜把机枪交给弹药手，说："瞄准，他一露头你就打。点发！"他的声调又缓慢又执拗，像生铁块似的有分量。那个战士接过机枪，说："行。来一个撂倒一个，来两个撂倒一对！" 马长胜偎到周大勇跟前。他看旁边有几个敌人尸体，横三竖四怪碍眼的。他把敌人尸体一个一个抓起来扔过短墙，毫不费力，像扔很轻的东西似的。 他从墙边的土坎上拿起半截纸烟头，挨周大勇蹲下。他说："连长，你抽一口烟提提神。"停了一阵又说："连长，只要有二斤烟叶，我就能在这里坚守一星期。"他把这开心的话，也说得没味道。 周大勇对马长胜这戆直、固执的牛性子脾气，有说不尽的喜爱。他接过烟，点着，--这时他才感觉到自己因呼吸紧迫手在发抖。--猛吸了一口，又递给马长胜。 马长胜说："连长，--"他眼睛翻了一下，感觉到敌人又扑来了。他刚直起腰，就传来喊声："杀呀！" 马长胜跳起来，捞住一颗手榴弹就扔出去。他又一把掀开正在射击的弹药手，捞过机枪，摆动着扫射。他的衣服让汗湿透了。 敌人从短墙、土堆和各种隐蔽物后面，突然爬出来，边往前跑边射击，恶疯疯地扑上来了，还乱噪噪地尖声怪叫。 ... 战士们在马长胜两侧拚命地投弹。马长胜一会用机枪扫，一会用冲锋枪扫，一会端起步枪打远处的敌人指挥官。敌人冲到跟前，他捞到六○炮弹扔出去……机枪打坏了，刺刀戳弯了，手榴弹打光了，马长胜赤手空拳跳过短墙。一个敌人用枪托照他脑袋打来，他闪了一下，躲过敌人的枪托，又抢前一步，用蒜钵子似的拳头，照敌人脸上猛击。那个敌人跌倒在地。其他的敌人一惊，朝后一退，可是转眼又拥上来。马长胜急了，捞起一根碗口粗细一丈多长的木材，在敌群中扑打。 ... 周大勇被战争的火焰和狂烈的感情裹着。他不停地朝战士们前面扑，战士们不停地用身体遮拦他。周大勇、马长胜、战士们，抓起子弹箱、石头、打坏了的枪……捞起什么就用什么打击敌人。猛然，一颗手榴弹在周大勇脚边嘟辘辘地打转转，眼看要爆炸，周大勇眼快手疾地把快要爆炸的手榴弹踢到一丈多远的地方，爆炸了。可是一连又有三四颗手榴弹丢到他跟前，这时光，周大勇旁边一个身上三处负伤的战士赵万胜，他看那正在地下打转的手榴弹快要爆炸，就鼓起全身力量扑到周大勇跟前。他把周大勇推开，拾起手榴弹正要给敌人送回去，手榴弹在赵万胜手里爆炸了。他满脸是血，跌倒在地。周大勇扑过去，准备把赵万胜抱到短墙右边。 赵万胜用头把周大勇顶开，说："连长，你指挥吧！不要管我。我放倒了不少的敌人，死也够本！" 赵万胜的衣服变成了湿漉漉的血衣，烟熏血洗，看不清眉目。在昏迷中，还不断地喊："打呀！打到底！" 这一阵不是周大勇在指挥，也不是马长胜在指挥，每一个还有一口气的人，都在自动地战斗。 情况愈来愈紧，院落的墙壁、房屋已被敌人炮火摧垮了。敌人用大批燃烧弹向人民战士坚守的院子投掷，平地起火，天空的空气也像是燃烧起来了。战士们在大火中奋战，周大勇觉得头昏眼花，但是他看到马长胜带的战士和敌人扭打在一起：有的抱住敌人的头，有的掐住敌人的脖子，有的把敌人按倒在地……他的心颤动了，身上又升腾起火一般的力量。
