Chapter 103: What happened after Peng Dezhu fell into a coma (Part 1)

Peng Dezhu learned from Liu Wenxue and Li Tieshu that during the Battle of Zushi Temple on the banks of the Huai River, he and Hu Mingyuan, a platoon leader of the 38th Division, were discovered by the Japanese, and immediately changed direction and swam to the river bank. However, Peng Dezhu was hit by the Japanese bullets after swimming only about ten meters away.

A bullet entered Peng Dezhu's back and wiped his heart out of his chest. After Peng Dezhu was injured, the platoon leader of the company Hu Mingyuan dragged him to swim desperately towards the river bank. However, because they could only passively be beaten in the river, and their target was very obvious, Hu Mingyuan was also hit by the Japanese on the thigh. However, even though he was injured, Hu Mingyuan did not give up on Peng Dezhu and continued to drag him to swim towards the river bank.

At this critical moment, the one who had not shown up had not appeared. Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan, after blowing up the Japanese gunboat and successfully escaped from the Japanese sight, turned around and returned to look for the warrior who was discovered by the Japanese. The warrior appeared behind the Japanese gunboat. When Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan were discovered, the attention of the Japanese on the gunboat was attracted by the two of them.

The soldier was unable to distinguish the direction under the water and wandered far away from the gunboat. When he floated out to the water to observe, he saw that the gunboat that Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan had blown up were indeed sinking. Therefore, he immediately swam towards another Japanese gunboat that was still intact.

When Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan were discovered by the Japanese, the soldier happened to appear behind the Japanese gunboat. Seeing the Japanese shooting towards the water in the front river bank, the soldier thought that a brother must have been discovered by the Japanese. At the critical moment, he took advantage of the Japanese's attention being attracted and threw the grenades he carried towards the Japanese gunboat.

Xiao Hei Chunliu on the Japanese gunboat that was suddenly attacked again was almost killed by the soldier's grenade. Xiao Hei Chunliu, who was angry, ordered the Japanese soldiers to shoot the soldiers in the river. It was precisely because of this that Hu Mingyuan was able to take this opportunity to drag Peng Dezhu out of the Japanese shooting on the gunboat and swim smoothly towards the river bank.

There were also Japanese infantry on the bank of the river, attacking the river bank positions. The gunboats in the river were attacked, which made the attacking Japanese at a loss. However, when they found two people swimming towards them, the Japanese commander in charge of the attack immediately ordered the Japanese soldiers to intercept the two people.

When the Japanese commander discovered Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan, he blocked the Japanese on the river bank position, Xue Tianlu, the commander of the first regiment and the commander of the third platoon of the independent company, Song Jiaming, also received a report from the soldiers. They saw clearly through their glasses, and the appearance of the two people swimming from the middle of the river.

When Song Jiaming saw Hu Mingyuan dragging Peng Dezhu, but Peng Dezhu showed no sign of moving, he immediately understood that Peng Dezhu was injured, or that there was even more terrible consequence. After seeing these, the soldiers of the three independent platoons suddenly launched a counterattack on the Japanese attacking the river bank as if crazy.

Before the first company commander Xue Tianlu had time to discuss plans with Song Jiaming and others to rescue Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan, he suddenly heard the Independent Company's position and launched a roar and charge. When he looked over, the warriors of the Independent Company's third platoon had already rushed to the Japanese crowd on the opposite river beach under Song Jiaming's leadership.

Xue Tianlu didn't have time to think about anything, so he immediately shouted an order and led the soldiers in the company to rush forward. The Japanese commander saw that the Chinese army on the opposite river bank position suddenly launched a counterattack against them. Therefore, he understood that in this way, the two people swimming in the river could not help but blow up the gunboats, and they were also very important figures for the Chinese army.

With this view, the Japanese commander attached more importance to Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan. He immediately ordered nearly ten Japanese to go to the place where Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan went ashore and must intercept them.

The warriors of the three platoons of Independent Company rushed out of the river bank also headed straight for Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan and the others. The Japanese commander led the other Japanese on the way they rushed over. Although there were constant warriors coming, none of the warriors of Independent Company three platoons of Independent Company stopped charging.

"Ka! Da! Da!"

The Japanese machine gun roared wildly at the warriors of the third platoon of the independent company, and in an instant, three or four soldiers of the third platoon fell down. Song Jiaming shouted loudly to ask the soldiers to pay attention to avoid them, and at the same time, the mull guns in his hands kept firing in the direction of the Japanese machine gun.

After Xue Tianlu rushed out with the soldiers of the first company, he did not follow the third row of Song Jiaming and the independent company, but went directly to the direction where Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan and the others went ashore. Instead, he led the soldiers of the company to attack and charge from the right side where the Japanese defended fewer people.

Xue Tianlu personally held a light machine gun and rushed to the front of the team. There were less than twenty Japanese defenders defending on the right. Therefore, it was relatively easy for Xue Tianlu to solve these Japanese. Under Xue Tianlu's order, a company of soldiers threw out a round of grenades, and less than twenty Japanese on the opposite side were consumed.

After destroying these Japanese devils, Xue Tianlu shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers! Bounce for me! rush over and reduce the pressure of the Independent Company. We must save the first platoon commander and Company Commander Peng!"

Song Jiaming and the third platoon soldiers who were charging forward finally rushed to the front, with nearly seven or eight soldiers casualties. Song Jiaming led Peng Dezhu to the water before sneaking into the water to attack the Japanese gunboat, and drew out the big knife he had been using before he rushed to the Japanese gunboat.

The Japanese attacked nearly two teams of troops, including the remaining troops who were defeated by Peng Dezhu and others after repelling, and were attacked by Xiao Heichunliu again. The first attack was defeated. Therefore, the Japanese were almost as powerful as the first company and the independent company.

Song Jiaming and others rushed into the Japanese crowd and began hand-to-hand combat. Xue Tianlu, who was counterattacking on the right, also rushed into the Japanese fighting crowd with a company of soldiers and began hand-to-hand combat.

The battle between the soldiers on both sides dyed the river water on the edge of the river beach red. The bloody river water eroded every person fighting, regardless of any nationality or clan. The cruel war, every battle would bring unbearable prices to each side.

Xue Tianlu had replaced the light machine gun with a Browning pistol, constantly shooting every Japanese soldier close to him. After he shot three Japanese soldiers, he looked at Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan.

Hu Mingyuan dragged Peng Dezhu, endured the pain in his wounds and insisted on swimming to the shore. However, where they went ashore, nearly ten Japanese soldiers were waiting to capture these two Chinese soldiers alive.

Seeing this situation, Xue Tianlu shouted to the soldiers of the first company: "Brothers! Take a break! Save Company Commander Peng and Platoon Commander Hu!" As he said that, he took the lead in getting around the fight in the middle and rushed towards Peng Dezhu, Hu Mingyuan and the others. Behind him, more than a dozen soldiers followed him towards Peng Dezhu and the others' ashore.

The Japanese discovered Xue Tianlu and the others and rushed towards Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan. There were immediately Japanese soldiers who turned around to intercept them. However, there were immediately a company of soldiers who intercepted the Japanese and they were attacking them.

Song Jiaming, who was fighting head-on, cut into the gap between a Japanese again and found that Xue Tianlu and the others had already gone to Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan. He also immediately took the soldiers of the Independent Company to kill the Japanese who intercepted and pursued them.

Both sides of the battle intercepted me, and the entire battlefield was in a state of chaos. Everyone may not be in any state. It is possible to intercept a Japanese. When you kill the Japanese, you find that there are no brothers around you, but they are all Japanese. The other brothers have already intercepted the Japanese.

Both sides were fighting more cruelly around Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan. When Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan were about to land, Xue Tianlu and the others rushed over in time and fought with the Japanese who were about to intercept Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan.

When Xue Tianlu and the others rushed here, there were more than a dozen soldiers, but when they rushed here to fight with the Japanese, there were only eight or nine people left, including Xue Tianlu. The other soldiers were all killed in the way to intercept the Japanese.

When Xue Tianlu rushed to the Japanese, he didn't stop and rushed over directly. He shot down the two Japanese in front with two shots. Then he kicked a Japanese who was about to go to Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan. Before he could stand still, he raised his hand and shot the Japanese to kill him. The soldiers behind him came up, and Xue Tianlu no longer cared about solving the Japanese's problems and hurriedly ran towards Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan.

After taking Peng Dezhu, Xue Tianlu Ren said nothing, but carried Peng Dezhu on his back and kept supporting Hu Mingyuan who was injured in his leg. After getting ashore, he headed towards the river bank position.

The Japanese commander saw that the Chinese army had successfully arrived, Peng Dezhu and Hu Mingyuan who were coming up from the middle of the river. When they saw that most of the Japanese soldiers could not approach Xue Tianlu, who was carrying Peng Dezhu and supporting Hu Mingyuan, they gave orders to let the Japanese start to get out of the battle and retreat to the right, waiting for Xiao Heichunliu on the gunboat to come to pick them up.

The Japanese began to leave the battle, and Song Jiaming and Xue Tianlu did not order the soldiers to pursue them. Instead, they quickly retreated. What they were most worried about was Peng Dezhu's situation.
