Chapter 1009 should be laughing!
“Brother Shanzi, promise me something!”
After dozens of seconds of silence, the army sergeant whose eyes had completely dimmed suddenly spoke softly.
“You said it.” The army captain lowered his head and smoked heavily, replying dully.
"You are the company commander. I have told the brothers about this, but not you. You know about my unmarried wife." The Army sergeant said about his unmarried wife, who was swollen. There was a hint of tenderness on the ugly face.
"Well, I know that Sannier from the next village is good-looking, and I heard that she is also a good hand in running the household. Your child is so lucky to have such a marriage." A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the Army Captain, and he spoke But he was praising his young fiancée.
He knew very well in his heart that the marriage was a good marriage, but it was still unknown whether his good friend could go back alive to get married. It's not just whether he can bring someone to carry Faxiao back, but Faxiao's injuries make it almost impossible to see the sunset tomorrow. It's already a miracle that he can speak now.
"Yes! Sannier is famous for her beauty from all over the country. She can like me, which is a blessing accumulated by me, Sun Dakui, in several lifetimes." Hearing his friend and superior officer praise his fiancée, in the eyes of the army sergeant Shine brightly.
“But I, I'm afraid, can't go back.”
"Brother Shanzi, I know that my injuries are too serious. Even gods can't save me. Even if the brothers try their best to drag me back, there is a high probability that I will still be a corpse." The Army sergeant stretched out his hand and shook it gently. Shake the hand of an Army Captain.
Hands are very cold! Life is constantly flowing out of this seriously injured soldier's body.
“Black skin.” The army captain felt sad in his heart and had a lump in his throat, but he could not be comforted.
“I just want to ask for you, Brother Shanzi.”
“Don't worry, if you leave, I will treat Sannier as my own sister, provide her with enough living expenses every month, and will never wrong her.” The army captain replied solemnly.
"No, Sannier is stubborn. She thinks that she is already married to me when we get engaged. When you go home to visit the bride, tell her in person that I, Zhou Dakui, had a crush when I was serving in the army. I fell in love with him. It's someone else. Whoever she marries from now on has nothing to do with my Zhou family." The expression on the Army Sergeant's face was distorted, and he was obviously in great pain.
That may not only be physical, but more from the heart.
“In addition, ask my parents to give half of my pension to Sannier, as compensation for Zhou Dakui's regretful marriage.” The army sergeant's voice suddenly became weak.
The Army Captain's eyes narrowed and he felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked carefully, only to see that the Army Sergeant had quietly stabbed a bayonet into his left atrium.
"Heipi, you're crazy, are you crazy?" the army captain roared angrily, his eyes wide open, frightened and regretful, and he rushed over to cover the wound caused by the bayonet with all his strength.
His original intention was to come see his brothers and say goodbye to his best brothers before breaking out, but he didn't expect that he would force his best brothers to death.
"Brother Shanzi, let me go! That injury is really painful. I've been calling my mother all night. I'm afraid my mother will feel distressed if she really hears it." The dying army sergeant's eyes were filled with tears. He started to turn upwards, but the expression on his face miraculously remained peaceful.
Perhaps it was because he once again saw the entrance to the village that he dreamed of in his dying dream!
There, there were his parents who were busy in the fields, his fiancée who was starching clothes in the small courtyard, familiar earthen cave dwellings, and bright sunshine.
Feeling the Army Sergeant in his arms slowly exhale his last breath, his whole body suddenly became heavy. The Army Captain, who was in extreme grief, raised his head to the sky, trying his best not to let the tears in his eyes turn into tears and wet his face.
After a long time, the army captain who gently put down the corpse of his comrade in his arms decided to say goodbye with a military salute. It was normal, but unexpectedly he said sorry.
No one knows why he said sorry, whether it was because he was forced by the situation to kill his closest comrade-in-arms, or because of something else. Maybe no one knew what he was thinking except the person involved himself.
The answer to the mystery was not solved until a long time later by Erdan, a soldier who survived the war.
He said he was sorry because the army captain knew that he could not personally help his brother fulfill his last wish.
Because, he cannot leave this position.
From the moment he decided to defend the shell hole, he had already decided that as a company commander, he would live and die together with his brothers who could not leave!
To live and die together with this battlefield where nearly a hundred of his brothers were killed!
Only in this way will he not have to live in lifelong guilt.
Death is the most cowardly way this Chinese soldier chose to face difficulties.
Indeed, he was a coward. He used the simplest way to avoid the nightmare that might haunt him throughout his life.
However, who can blame him?
In order for the living to continue living, as a commander, he must give up some other living people. This is a choice he must make.
But those who are alive, should they be abandoned?
It shouldn't be!
As the commander who made this cruel decision, he chose to accompany them to welcome the blood-red rising sun.
He lived up to everyone and used his young life as a bargaining chip.
In the end, the last 17 soldiers on Highland 7324, led by the last sergeant squad leader, and 10 people, used rifles and military uniforms stripped from the dead soldiers to make stretchers and carried the most likely survivor. The five seriously injured soldiers who came down formed a commando team with the remaining seven, using the last three light machine guns, two submachine guns, and two shell guns on the position to form the strongest firepower, along the gap in the encirclement that was covered by 15 minutes of artillery fire. ,charge!
There is no evasion except picking up the gun and shooting, just move forward, forward, and forward again.
Dying is difficult, but surviving is not easy either.
This is the battlefield.
17Everyone knew that their lives not only belonged to themselves, but also to their company commanders and the seriously injured brothers who climbed out of the shell holes and entered the trenches.
They have to live for those who have voluntarily given up hope of survival, with their responsibilities and their yearning for the future.
They survived and saw their own people alive.
More than two hundred officers and soldiers who took huge risks and left their positions to come to meet them saw them. They laughed at first, but then they started to cry.
The 200 officers and soldiers who came were from the same infantry battalion, and forty of them were the seeds left by the infantry company. It was because of their strong request to fight that they were allowed by the regiment headquarters to participate in supporting our own soldiers.
Of course they will smile when they see familiar faces and hear familiar voices, but what about the other breakout teams in the company? As a result, I was told that this was the only team in the company.
Only 13 people were able to break out of the encirclement and reach this place. During the battle to break out of the encirclement, four more people, including the sergeant squad leader, died on the spot.
Including the 5 seriously wounded people who were still on stretchers, only 18 of the company were able to return from the high ground alive during this battle.
And the company, including the captain who refused to leave his seriously wounded soldiers, lost 84 people! Not a single officer, including the sergeant squad leader, survived, and the only highest-ranking person in the company was a second lieutenant platoon leader who was not on the high ground.
How could the soldiers not burst into tears?
The remaining gunfire on the high ground the next day told all the Chinese soldiers who had evacuated that the army captain who chose to live and die with his brothers who were not allowed to leave would not die easily.
You can take his life, but if the Japanese want it, you have to pay the price.
The army captain used a light machine gun, a shell gun and more than 20 rifles left behind to form a defensive position.
The remaining dozen or so seriously injured people are also defensive points, but what they have to do is simpler than their company commander. There is no need to shoot. Each of them has four grenades strapped to them. They only need to jump before the Japanese Just pull the string when you're in the trench and near them.
The trenches were littered with corpses, both Chinese and Japanese. Even reloading the corpses with guns might not guarantee absolute safety.
Simple and easy tactics.
Yamashita was going crazy.
In six days and nights of fighting, the Second Mixed Brigade suffered more than 4,600 casualties, of which nearly half were killed. However, less than half of them broke into the Chinese defensive positions.
Even if he changed his tactics on the third day and no longer blindly dispatched the two main infantry regiments, but mixed in the second-line troops of the baggage regiment and the engineering regiment to participate in the battle, the main casualties on the battlefield in the following days were The rate comes from the second-line soldiers, and the two infantry regiments under his command still have 4,000 infantry available. But for the Second Mixed Brigade, which has a total strength of 13,000 people, this casualty rate is actually considered a loss.
However, Yamashita knew very well that he could not retreat for the sake of the pie drawn by the commander.
His only hope is to break through this line of defense and kill the more than 20,000 Chinese troops in front of him.
Victory can cover up all ugliness!
But Yamashita didn't expect that the Chinese would actually run away. This was originally a secretly gratifying thing. Breaking through the defense line and conducting a thorough sweep of the Chinese people in the mountainous area that could no longer be defended could be regarded as completing the combat mission set before the war. .
If the merits and demerits balance out, the poisonous pie may be able to shine from dreams into reality.
However, the Chinese army, which had already begun to evacuate, also used the darkness of the night to use artillery fire to cover the escape of the remaining Chinese troops on the high ground.
Is this too little regard for Yamashita? How can I endure being as proud as a mountain?
So, under the order of Yamashita, who was unwilling but secretly happy, the Japanese army also launched a counterattack.
They not only have to pursue and defeat the Chinese army, but also make it impossible for the Chinese who have made them suffer enough to escape.
So, half of their combat mission was completed.
It was impossible to defeat the Chinese army. The evacuation of the Chinese army was premeditated. They fortified themselves layer by layer and gave the Japanese army a head-on blow. The Japanese infantry, which had no air superiority, once again deeply realized that without the help of aircraft, in this mountain, , they really are nothing.
But they succeeded in evacuating some of the Chinese soldiers who were stranded on the highlands, which was considered to have fulfilled the wish of a certain arrogant man.
As a result, a scene that shocked the Japanese army appeared. By daylight, there were still several Chinese people on the high ground who were unable to retreat, perhaps because of their determined counterattack. Since they were surrounded and unable to move, they were just holding on to the same place!
If they want to pass, they still have to fight as hard as before.
Is the brigade commander a pig? Do we have to go drink tea with Amaterasu? I don't know how many Japanese soldiers complained secretly in their hearts.
This battle really chilled the hearts of countless Japanese soldiers.
They are not afraid of death, but they really don't want to die.
“Baga!” Yamashita was so angry that he picked up his knife again and caused indescribable friction with the sapling of Taihang Mountain.
This is really shooting yourself in the foot.
The gunfire on the 7324 Highlands did not end until noon.
But this was not the last answer for the Chinese soldiers who stayed on the high ground. The five boxes of grenades that could not be moved were detonated.
Except for the Japanese army, no one knows how the Chinese soldier, who had been wounded all over his body for a short period of time, calmly took the last puff of his cigarette and shouted: "Heipi, Zhang Laosan, brothers, go home!"
General Baitou, who was writing furiously in the distance, heard the sound like spring thunder, and then returned to silence. The tip of his pen stayed on the paper for more than ten seconds without moving.
As he lowered his head, the ink words that had been written began to soak in lightly.
The general knew that a long list of names would be added to the list of dead around him.
A few years later, Erdan, who had been promoted to the company commander, took advantage of his family vacation and did not return home. Instead, he went to the army captain's hometown and relayed the last words of Second Lieutenant Zhou Dakui to the woman who was nearly 26 years old but had not yet married.
“Sannier, I really want to have a family with you and have a lot of fat babies, but there is no way. No one can farm well and support the family until the Japanese devils are beaten away.
I am going to die. I hope you can find a good family to marry, live a good life, have a baby, and let the baby burn some yellow paper on my grave to tell me that this is my last wish. "
This was not Erdan's tampering, but the company commander's last words when he put his gun to the head of the sergeant squad leader who refused to accept the order and asked them to write down their last words one by one.
"Whoever survives must take these last words home. This is not an order, but a request. Otherwise, never mention my name in eternity." The army captain who put away his gun turned and left without a military salute.
The remaining 17 soldiers, including 5 seriously injured soldiers, saluted with tears streaming down their faces.
After all, the army captain didn't want to break the heart of the woman who was waiting for her fiancé to return at home. If the wedding was gone, the fiancé would be gone too, even if he was dead.
The woman burst into tears. This was the second time she cried after receiving the news that her fiancé had been killed in action, because she could not stay in grief for a long time. After her fiancé's parents heard the news that their son had been killed in action, they became bedridden. As the eldest daughter-in-law of this family, she must take on the important responsibility of taking care of her elders and younger siblings.
Although the 100-yuan pension arrived two years late, it is still there, and it can at least support a family's expenses for several years.
However, she couldn't satisfy her fiancé's wish. She became his fiancée at the age of 18. It has been eight years now. At the age of 26, she is an older woman in the countryside, and she has the title of widow. Who will marry her?
There is no one to marry, where is the baby?
She had a baby. Four years later, Erdan, who had been promoted to a battalion commander of a certain unit of the Chinese People's Army, once again used a rare vacation to come to the hometown of his company commander.
But this time, he did not come alone, but was accompanied by several generals. That was the only request he made after repeatedly achieving military exploits and did not want gold, silver or even a promotion to the military rank.
He wants to fulfill the last wish of his comrades.
Zhao Shoushan, who had been promoted to the commander of a certain army, came to propose marriage in person. Erdan used the military salary he had saved over the years as a betrothal gift to marry a sister who was already over 30 years old, and adopted six old people as his parents.
From now on, he will bear the burden of four families.
It is a pity that this battalion commander, like his squad leader, platoon commander, and company commander, became a "disloyal" person.
Happy life lasted only two years, and the rumble of cannons was heard again in the north of the motherland.
Kowtowed to say goodbye to all the parents, kissed the little face of the fat boy who only knew how to babbling, broke free from the hand of his wife who was reluctant to leave, and boarded the train without looking back, heading for the snowfield thousands of miles away.
From now on, I will never return.
As a son, husband, and father, there is no doubt that he is unqualified. But as a soldier, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times. He has only one choice, to commit himself to the country!
Because this is what his squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander once did.
What he is doing now is just following in their footsteps.
How can his son live in peace without facing the enemy's fierce bayonet with his own chest, and without using his fist to face the greedy and ugly faces of the invaders?
The reason why the dove of peace can soar in the sky is that it must kill all the eagles that covet this sky!
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers may have thought the same thing when they fell on that snowy field one after another!
More years later, the gray-haired woman once again sent the young man to put on the green military uniform and board the green leather train with tears streaming down her cheeks.
That was already the third time in her short life. No one came home the first two times, but what about this time?
Fortunately, his fathers had sacrificed their lives for peace. For decades, no major country dared to act rashly. The only clown, the rising China, just waved its strong arms and hit their parents with two uppercuts. Don't recognize them anymore.
Decades, not allowed to turn around.
As a wife, the white-haired woman shed all her tears!
As a mother, she finally welcomed her son back with a smile!
The fathers of the big fat boy did not sacrifice themselves in vain.
They should be smiling too.
Just, in heaven.
PS: Where's this chapter! Feng Yue feels that it is okay, but there is still a little gap from what she imagined. I hope she will improve in the future!
