The War of Resistance

The flames of war ahead are still pervasive, and the sound of gunfire and explosions can be heard endlessly.

At this time, an officer of the Northeast Army was fiddling with a box gun in the ruins behind. The box gun had a longer magazine that was very different from ordinary box guns, because it was a 20-ring gun. Box cannon.

"What a good gun! Where did the gang get so many good guns?" the officer said to himself.

The officer said "the gang is playing around" was referring to Shang Zhen and the others, and he was the company commander Gu who borrowed Shang Zhen's gun and refused to return it.

"I heard that they snatched it from the Japanese devils." A soldier next to him replied, but that soldier was Zhou Xiu.

"Nonsense, have you ever seen the Japanese devils use this gun?" Company Commander Gu expressed his disbelief.

"Commander Gu, I heard from them that it was the Japanese devils who pretended to be our men and were ambushed by them." Zhou Xiu replied.

"Is it possible? Wang Fu, do you believe it?" Captain Gu tilted his head and asked a platoon leader under him.

"I don't believe it, how big a pie falls from the sky can smash their heads on.

If you ask me, they are just a bunch of cowards hanging around outside because they don't want to fight the devils.

I don't know where they got these guns, and then bragging about how many little devils they killed. "The platoon leader named Wang Fu replied disapprovingly.

"I think it's so weird." Company Commander Gu also expressed his disdain for Shang Zhen and his group.

Zhou Xiu opened his mouth to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything. He already regretted borrowing a gun for Company Commander Gu.

He had fought side by side with Shang Zhen and the others. Although he didn't really admire Shang Zhen's and his style of refusing to fight hard and evil battles, he had no doubts about Shang Zhen's combat effectiveness.

The current situation is that Company Commander Gu and the others have borrowed the gun and made it clear that they don't want to return it. As the former subordinate of Company Commander Gu, he really can't say anything now.

Don't look at Company Commander Gu's company is now a second-line team, but the defenders who are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in front of them have almost finished fighting, so this company must continue to join

And the result after this connection is also predictable.

Up to now, the 337th Brigade has accumulated nearly a thousand casualties in this small town of Bengbu, and the casualties of the Japanese army will never be much less. After all, crossing the water and attacking has a natural disadvantage. Just drowned.

For both the enemy and us, this offensive and defensive battle is like playing a poker game called "filling the big hole". It is impossible to occupy or hold this strategic location on the north bank of the Huaihe River without casualties!

Because of this, Company Commander Gu's company rushing up to serve as a substitute will not have a second option other than living and dying with the position, and saying that living and dying with the position or dying for the country is a nice way of saying it, but it's ugly , then they are all dying!

Under this premise, how could Zhou Xiu open his mouth to ask for guns for Shang Zhen and the others in the face of these dying people?

"Are you ready? It's time for us to go up in a while." Commander Gu put away the gun that once belonged to Shang Zhen and ordered.

Then he turned his head and said to Zhou Xiu: "Putting you in the last row, your mission has been completed, and there is nothing for you here."

"Commander Gu, I—" Zhou Xiu was about to speak, but was stopped by Captain Gu, "You have already died once, this time we should go first."

But then Company Commander Gu grinned again: "You don't need to express your determination to me, as long as you want to die in this battle, there are plenty of opportunities, you are not short of time!"

Although what Company Commander Gu said was ugly, it was true. However, Zhou Xiu still looked at his old company commander gratefully.

Fighting positional warfare, rushing forward, you will die, dragging behind will have a chance of life.

Some soldiers began to organize their guns and ammunition, and when one moved, the others naturally moved as well.

But at this time, the platoon leader named Wang Fu suddenly complained: "Damn it, this battle is fought, there is no place to post a suicide note to the family."

Wang Fu's complaint made all the soldiers present look up at him. Although they were still arranging the guns in their hands, their expressions were all sad.

That's right, these days, even if you have a suicide note to your family in your pocket, there is no place to post it.

My home is outside Wanliguan Mountain, and the postal route has been cut off. It has been occupied by the Japanese army for eight years, and it has become the heartache of all the officers and soldiers in the Northeast.

But even if the postal route is continuous, it is impossible to send letters back.

Just imagine, that place has become the world of Japanese devils and traitors. If this letter arrives at home for those beasts to see, wouldn't it reveal the secret that my family is an anti-Japanese family, and it would harm my family instead.

"Oh, I dreamed about my mother when I went to bed last night." Another soldier said at this time.

What the soldier said made Company Commander Na Gu frown.

With a big war imminent, saying these words is detrimental to morale.

But the company commander Gu who was about to say something didn't open his mouth when he looked at the soldier.

It's just because the soldier is a veteran, not only old, but also old, and he will be fifty this year.

The old soldier was in his early forties when he entered the pass with him, so he was considered a prime man, but now he is fifty. Unknowingly, they, the Northeast Army who left their wives and children and left their parents, have been in a foreign land in the pass for eight years. Yes!

For such a veteran, Company Commander Gu would never say anything.

"This person, when he was young, he didn't think so, he always wanted to go outside, and felt that it was easy to mess around outside.

But now that I am getting older, I feel homesick and miss my mother. My old mother is probably gone now.

Alas, even if I go back now, I can't find the grave if I want to burn a few pieces of paper. "The old soldier sighed.

Then he looked up at Company Commander Gu and his face twitched, and then he laughed at himself, "So damn it, the little Japan won't let me go home to see my parents, and I won't let them go home to see my parents." Parents, aren’t you just trying your best? Who is afraid of whom? How can I earn them twenty or thirty years!”

He was older, in his fifties, and the Japanese soldiers were in their twenties, so it would be considered that he died with the Japanese army, wouldn't that mean that he had earned the Japanese soldiers for 20 or 30 years?

After all, he is a veteran, and he can tell what his company commander is thinking just by glancing at Captain Gu's expression. Who would have thought that he would talk about depression at the beginning, and then become more arrogant when he changed the subject!

"Twenty!" The Gu company commander laughed, "The old horse is right!" Then he said to the other young soldiers, "You are young, you can't earn money from little devils for twenty or thirty years like old horses, but your Killing one is enough money, killing two is enough to earn one!"

Morale is like this, when the old horse speaks in a low voice, everyone is in a bad mood, but when the old horse speaks boldly, and Company Commander Gu encourages him like this, all the soldiers forget the sorrow .

I want to go home? want to! But let's go home without killing the little devil? Kill whoever blocks our way, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

"Let's go, it's time for us to go!" The company commander Gu finally stood up and shouted, so all the people in their company stood up from the ruins and went to face the gunfire ahead.

The small Bengbu blockade has been fought for several days. There are no intact houses in this area, and now there are flying bullets flying over their heads. They only need to advance another 180 meters, then Who lives and who dies depends on God's will.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran back under the cover of the ruins on the front right. It was the lookout post they had set up in front.

The sentinel was not very old, he looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was tall and tall, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the ancient company commander.

Zhou Xiu knew this soldier. This soldier was actually the younger brother of Company Commander Gu. Company Commander Gu had five brothers in his family, and the younger brother was named Gu Man.

Gu Man had followed his brother in the Northeast Army when he was half a child, and despite his young age, he was already an out-and-out veteran.

"Company commander." Guman called.

"Say." Company Commander Na Gu responded.

"I saw the guy who borrowed our gun," Guman reported.

"The group who borrowed our guns? Where are they?" Company Commander Gu was taken aback for a moment, "Are they here to chat?"

"I don't know, I think they are hiding near the original brigade headquarters." Guman replied.

Company Commander Gu frowned and looked at Zhou Xiu, but when he saw Zhou Xiu's bewildered look, he obviously didn't know what those people were doing in front.

"Forget it, don't bother with those cowards, I'm afraid of bad luck, people from our company, follow me!" Commander Gu ordered loudly.
