Chapter 30 Breakout (Selection of the Wounded)

Peng Dezhu struggled to throw the grenade in his hand. Although the military training he received was only superficial. However, since he started farming with his father, he had developed a good body and great strength. In addition,

With his innate accuracy, the grenade he threw flew in a perfect arc at the three or four Japanese soldiers rushing towards him.

"Boom!" There was an explosion, and the grenade exploded among the Japs, sending the Japs directly back to their hometowns.

After throwing a grenade, Peng Dezhu immediately picked up his gun while the grenade was still in the air. He aimed at the machine gunner on a tank and finally pulled the trigger without hesitation. The Japanese machine gunner followed Peng Dezhu

The movement of his fingers was in response to the sound of gunfire.

After knocking down the machine gunner, Peng Dezhu moved the muzzle of his gun again and knocked down another Japanese who looked very arrogant but didn't make any tactical moves and was running towards him. Peng Dezhu's continuous shooting naturally attracted the Japanese to fight back

The Japanese's bullets hit the ground in front of him from time to time, making a "Puff! Puff!" sound, and some of them flew close to his head or body.

The intensity of the battle has reached a fever pitch. The Japanese attack was stubbornly blocked by the four regiments led by Duan Houchong at a distance of about fifty meters outside the position. However, because the Japanese had also received a death order, they would die if they retreated.

.

Therefore, although the Japanese casualties were still very high. As long as none of the Japanese soldiers who rushed within fifty meters could survive, the attacking little Japanese still charged towards the position desperately.

Lieutenant Kawazawa, the Japanese officer in charge of the attack, looked at the little Japanese soldiers who kept falling. He screamed in anger and shouted for the mortar team to fire. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Japanese mortar troops started immediately.

launched.

Duan Houchhong heard the sound of flying artillery shells and shouted: "Hidden! Hidden!..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The mortar shells exploded amidst his roar. The soldiers who had no time to dodge were sent flying into the air by the mortar shells.

The Japs had also entered a frantic offensive state, completely ignoring the firing of their own artillery and still risking their own artillery fire to attack the position.

The soldiers who had just taken cover also had to brave Japanese artillery fire and continue to resist tenaciously.

At the moment of the explosion, Duan Houchhong was thrown down by Peng Dezhu beside him, and was spared from being affected by the explosion. However, Peng Dezhu once again left two shell fragments on his legs.

After Duan Houzhong pushed Peng Dezhu who was lying on him up, he first looked outside the position. Seeing that the Japanese were still attacking under artillery fire, he raised his gun and fired while shouting: "Fight! Brothers! Fight! The Japanese are about to charge."

Coming over!"

Hearing Duan Hou's shouting, some soldiers who had taken cover rushed to the front of the trench to shoot again.

When Peng Dezhu heard Duan Houzhong's shouting, he wanted to rush to the front of the trench. However, as soon as he exerted some force on his leg, he felt extremely painful. He accidentally fell to the ground again, and he grinned and screamed in pain.

Duan Houchong, who was next to him, heard Peng Dezhu's cry beside him. He turned around quickly and saw Peng Dezhu covering his calf with his hands. He hurriedly stepped forward to look at it and said: "It's okay, no bones were hurt!" and he pulled it from his body.

The next piece of cloth was wrapped around Peng Dezhu's wound, which controlled the bleeding from his wound.

After bandaging Peng Dezhu's wound, Duan Houzhong told Peng Dezhu to pay attention to safety, and immediately picked up the gun and continued fighting.

Duan Houzhong had just fired two shots. Suddenly, Peng Dezhu patted his body hurriedly and said nervously: "Tuan Zuo! Tuan Zuo! Look! Look!"

Following Peng Dezhu's shouting, Duan Houzhong turned his head and looked in the direction pointed by him. Chief of Staff Liu Guowei rushed towards him dodging left and right.

When Liu Guowei was about to rush to Duan Houchhong, suddenly, a Japanese mortar shell was about to explode in front of him. A soldier closer to Liu Guowei, who had already prepared to avoid the shell, rushed over bravely in time.

, throwing Liu Guowei to the ground.

"Boom!" Another explosion sounded. Fortunately, Liu Guowei only left a slight wound on his arm. However, the whole back of this brave soldier was covered in blood and flesh in the explosion, and he did not move again.

In one fell swoop, he died a glorious sacrifice.

Liu Guowei struggled to push the soldier away. Seeing the soldier's miserable condition, he couldn't help but feel sad and angry.

However, at this moment, he had no time to mourn the martyr who bravely saved him. Leaving behind the martyr's body, Liu Guowei rushed to Duan Houchhong's side, panting and saying quickly: "Tuan... Tuan, can't... can...,

If this continues, the number of Japs is too...too many, our combat area is too large, and we must reduce the defensive combat area. Otherwise, we will not be able to hold on any longer!"

Duan Houzhong pulled Liu Guowei's arm and brought him closer to him. He asked: "Did you lose the defense?" Liu Guowei shook his head in panic and explained: "No! No! But!..."

Liu Guowei took a breath and continued, "Regiment, our troops are too small to cover such a large defensive area. I suggest that we withdraw to the second line of defense."

When Duan Houzhong heard this, he turned his head and looked around at the soldiers who were fighting bravely in the trenches. Every soldier was resisting desperately.

However, since there was not much fighting strength left, after the damage caused by the Japanese attacks just now, it is now even more unsustainable.

The brutality of the battle left Duan Houchhong with no time to think about this. Therefore, when Liu Guowei proposed to evacuate the first line of defense, Duan Houchhong suddenly came to his senses.

Duan Houchong asked Liu Guowei to arrange the evacuation of the defensive positions he was responsible for commanding. Then he turned to the right and shouted in the distance: "Established! Wang established! Wang established!"

Wang Chengcheng, who was about ten meters away from him, was fighting. At the reminder of the soldiers around him, he saw Duan Houzhong's call. He immediately ran to him and asked: "Tuan Zuo! What are your orders?"

Duan Houzhong pulled him to his side and said to him solemnly and seriously: "We have to withdraw to the second line! You take fourteen people to stay, stay with the sacrificed brothers, and use the sacrificed brothers as a cover! Do you understand?

!”

Duan Houzhong looked at Wang Chengli blankly as he spoke. He needed Wang Chengli to understand what he meant. However, he did not expect that it was not just Wang Chengli who could understand.

After Wang Chengli listened to his order, he kept nodding his head and said: "Understood! Understood! Don't worry, captain! Even if I die, I will not let the little devil cross the first line of defense!"

Suddenly I heard, "Tuanzuo! Tuan...zuo! Cough cough!..." A seriously injured soldier next to Duan Houzhong tried his best to move towards him, calling him.

Duan Houchuang hurriedly picked up the soldier, looked at the injury on his chest, and shouted: "Medical soldier! Medical soldier!" The soldier pulled Duan Houchuang's sleeves hard and said: "Team leader! Stop shouting.

Let me... let us stay here. Just give us a grenade each."

When Duan Houzhong heard the soldier's words, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose. It seemed that he couldn't control his tears and wanted to shed them.

He resisted the urge to cry and said: "Brother, what are you thinking about? I will definitely take you out before that time comes!" The soldier smiled at Duan Houzhong and said: "Tuanzong, since brothers have chosen to stay,

I'm fighting this battle with you here, and I don't think about leaving here. Everyone knows the current situation. Just let the brothers drag a few more Japanese to support you. Haha... cough cough!"

Duan Houchong understood what this soldier meant. Any soldier here, including him and Liu Guowei, would inevitably have to be heroic here. What this soldier wanted was just to kill a few more at the last moment.

Devil.

Duan Houchong's conversation with the injured soldiers was heard by the people around them, and several injured soldiers expressed their intention to stay and block the Japanese attack.

Although he knew that they would all die here in the end, Duan Houchhong still didn't want to see these injured soldiers fighting with their own lives and dying together with the Japanese. Such a scene was really unbearable to witness.

Duan Houzhong looked at these soldiers in pain, and then looked at Wang Chengli, wanting to get important advice from him. However, Wang Chengli shook his head at him with the same painful expression, showing his helplessness.

The battle was going on fiercely, and Duan Houchong had no time to think about this. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and gave an order to Wang Chengcheng: "Immediately arrange for people to send the wounded to the village, leave a few people to take care of them, and the others will come back the next day."

The Taoist front is assembled. The king is established! You are responsible for breaking up the rear, and you must let the brothers withdraw to the second line of defense. Do you understand?"

Wang Chengcheng replied loudly: "Understood! Please rest assured, everyone in the regiment!" After saying that, he turned around and arranged for the soldiers to send the wounded down.

When Wang Chengli asked Li Tieshu to lead the people to send the wounded down, he still encountered difficulties. After listening to Duan Houzhong's order, the wounded man took a big knife and put it across his neck. He loudly said to Duan Houzhong: "

Group! You can withdraw! If we are not allowed to stay, I will kill myself now. Anyway, even if we are sent down, wouldn’t we be dead in the end?”

When Duan Houzhong saw the soldier pick up the knife, he realized what he was going to do. When he tried to pounce on him in time, he was still a step too late.

Duan Houzhong looked at the blade placed on the soldier's neck, close to his aorta, and nervously said to the soldier: "Brother! Brother! No, never!"

But this soldier said resolutely: "Tuanzong! Even if we go down, we will die in the end. If you let us drag a few Japanese soldiers on our backs before we die, our journey in this world will not be in vain!"

Duan Houchhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and shed tears in pain. Looking at the soldier, it seemed that he could not be persuaded no matter what. Duan Houchhong shed tears and nodded in pain and said: "Brother! I am the one who is sorry for you.

, I can’t take you out!”

Seeing Duan Houzhong nodding his head in agreement, the soldier smiled and said to Duan Houzhong: "Tuanzu, how can it be your fault? If it is wrong, it is also the fault of his grandma's little devil! If he can serve as a soldier under you, he will follow

If you fight the Japanese, your brothers will die happily and happily."

After agreeing to let the wounded man stay, Duan Houchong said to Li Tieshu, who was standing next to the wounded man: "Hurry up and make arrangements. Those who can be sent down must be sent down."

Li Tieshu turned around and bent over, running back and forth in the trench, trying to send the wounded down. However, in the end, he did not send any wounded down. All the wounded whose actions were affected made the same decision as the soldier.

.

Peng Dezhu injured his leg and his actions were affected. Of course, he saw the scene where Duan Houchong was talking to the wounded man. Therefore, he also made up his mind to stay and die with the Japanese.

However, when Li Tieshu reported the situation to Duan Houzhong, Duan Houzhong directly ordered Li Tieshu to force Peng Dezhu to the second line of defense. Peng Dezhu did not find a chance like that soldier and threatened to stay with death.
