The War of Resistance

Since Company Commander Gu said that our company will follow me, Zhou Xiu led people to stay behind.

This is not to say that he is afraid of death, but that he has no right to decide the life and death of these people.

The company commander was killed, and two of the three platoon leaders died. The platoon leader of their platoon was the highest remaining officer at the time, but he was also killed after telling him to "take the brothers out".

Among the rest of the soldiers, Zhou Xiu was one who could calculate and fight, so everyone was willing to follow him, but being willing to follow him didn't mean he could decide for himself.

Zhou Xiu and the others hid in the ruins of the town and looked ahead.

Just because of the barrier of the collapsed house, they couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of them.

But even before Company Commander Gu and the others went up, the sound of gunfire and explosions in front of them didn't stop. It was obvious that the enemy and us were still fighting fiercely.

The advantage of the Japanese army lies in its powerful firepower. They can use aircraft and artillery to bombard the defenders' positions indiscriminately.

But when the Japanese infantry rushed up, the advantage of the Northeast Army as the defender was greater. After all, the Japanese army was approaching. As long as the Northeast Army was not afraid of death, then rushing into the enemy group with a bundle of cluster grenades would cause the Japanese army the same casualties. Never small.

With a "boom", another huge explosion sounded from ahead, and Zhou Xiu and the others saw a column of smoke from the explosion rising into the air.

At this time, the Japanese army crossing the river had already attacked the town again, so the explosion was not the sound of artillery, and the explosion of the mortar shells fired by the Japanese army was by no means so loud, so it could only be that the defenders made the cluster again. grenade.

"Didn't Guman just say that the people in front are almost wiped out? It is estimated that someone from the third company defending the position died with the devils." Zhou Xiu speculated.

At this time, Zhou Xiu and the others heard dense gunshots, and the gunshots sounded like the sound of short bursts of flower organs or box cannons. It seemed that Company Commander Gu and his men rushed up.

"I don't know how many people are left in that company after this battle is over." At this time, a soldier from Zhou Xiu's gang sighed.

That soldier was Gu Bing, and he was in the same row as Zhou Xiu.

It's not just that Shang Zhen's group has talents, Zhou Xiu's group also has talents, and at least Gu Bing's speech is more bookish than that of Chu Tian, ​​and the somewhat pedantic Chen Hanwen , but that is more down-to-earth.

"Who knows, it feels like a human life is like a brick on the ground. After a battle, the whole brick is lost." Zhou Xiu said.

"Human life is like grass, and human life is like bricks, which is quite appropriate." Zhou Xiu echoed. After that, everyone stopped talking and stared blankly at the black smoke that was spreading in front of them.

After more than 20 minutes, Zhou Xiu suddenly let out a "huh". At this moment, not only him, but Gu Bing who was with him also saw someone running back from the front under the cover of the ruins.

"Guman is back again." Zhou Xiu whispered.

Even though Guman was tall, he was a veteran, and his movements through the ruins were quite neat.

After a while, Gu Man saw Zhou Xiu and the others running over.

"How was the fight in front?"

"You come back to Gaha?"

The former was asked by Zhou Xiu, and the latter was asked by Gu Bing.

"How about that, I have to throw it all in if I can't see the darkness." Gu Man's expression was a little sad.

All the people in a company had to be thrown in, and that naturally included his third brother, that is, the company commander Gu.

"When I came back, there was such a thing. My third brother said that he didn't want you to rush up too. He hoped that you would pass this on." After speaking, Gu Man tilted his head and took off the satchel he was carrying.

"What is this?" Zhou Xiu was very surprised.

Even the company commander Gu is just a company commander. They are all officers and soldiers at the bottom. What important things should be passed on?

"This is a letter home from some of our company.

Not many survived the battle, but they were all homesick, so my third brother asked you to see if you can keep these family letters.

Regardless of how many of you survive in the end, as long as you are alive, keep these letters. If you can bring these letters back to your hometown one day, it will be regarded as a thought for your family. "Guman said again.

When Gu Man said this, Zhou Xiu and Gu Bing looked at him, and their hearts felt a little more sad.

They understood the intention of Company Commander Gu and the others to leave these seemingly unimportant letters.

If one day, there are letters from the Northeast soldiers who fought in foreign lands back to the three provinces in the Northeast, it is certainly a thought for the Northeast Army's family members in the Northeast, and these letters are not from them, officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army A little thought.

Home, how many times has it appeared in dreams... haunted by dreams.

"Okay, we'll keep these letters. If all our men die, we'll hand over the letters to other Northeast Army brothers before we die," Zhou Xiu replied.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to Brother Zhou." Gu Man replied, then got up and ran forward again.

Zhou Xiu saw Guman's tall man standing up to 1.80 meters.

In fact, Gu Man is not thin and thin, but he is tall, and this height naturally makes him look thin. Zhou Xiu seemed to have seen the half-sized man who used to be mischievous in the military camp every day.

But at this moment, Zhou Xiu suddenly called out, "Gu Man, wait!"

"What's the matter? Brother Zhou." Hearing that Zhou Xiu told him that Gu Man was busy, he squatted down again.

"Didn't your brother say something when he sent you back to deliver the letter?" Zhou Xiu asked, staring into Gu Man's eyes.

"What did you say?" Gu Man blushed slightly.

"Fuck, I'm not with your third brother, I'm asking you." Zhou Xiu said angrily.

"My third brother—" Gu Man hesitated for a moment, and then replied decisively, "I didn't say anything, I went to the front."

After speaking, Gu Man stood up and ran towards the front of the gunpowder smoke.

As soon as he ran, Zhou Xiu also moved.

But Zhou Xiu didn't follow Gu Man forward, but ran to a nearby ruin.

Gu Bing, who was with Zhou Xiu, didn't know what Zhou Xiu wanted to do, so he could only watch where he was, seeing Zhou Xiu quickly disappear behind the ruins.

After another ten minutes, Zhou Xiu ran back from another direction.

"Did you go haha ​​just now?" Gu Bing asked Zhou Xiu.

"Alas." Zhou Xiu sighed first before saying, "Gu Man is blind."

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Bing didn't understand.

"His third brother asked him to bring the letter back on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't want him to fight in the front, and wanted him to be with our group, but this kid ran back by himself." Zhou Xiu Said.

Zhou Xiu didn't go into too much detail, but these few words from him were enough for Gu Bing to understand what was going on just now.

The reason why Company Commander Gu asked Gu Man to come back was because he sent the letter. The more important reason was that he hoped that his younger brother, Gu Man, would not return to the front line after delivering the letter.

The possibility of dying in battle is naturally small if they don't return to the front line, which can be regarded as leaving a legacy for their old family.

But Gu Man didn't want his third brother to die alone, so he ran back after delivering the letter.

Oh, for a while, Gu Bing didn't know what to say.

Everyone has selfishness, so it is understandable that Company Commander Gu feels sorry for his own brother to do so.

"That brat dares to go back, won't his brother scold him?" Gu Bing asked after a while.

"How dare he go back, he's f*cking around behind, even if I persuade him he won't come back." Zhou Xiu said helplessly.
