Chapter Thirty-Eight: Breakout King Established and Sacrifice
Chapter 38 Breakout (Wang Chengcheng sacrificed)
"Who is it? Stop!"
When Peng Dezhu supported Wang Chengcheng and just approached the collapsed courtyard, he heard someone shouting. Peng Dezhu replied softly: "It's me, brother, I am Peng Dezhu."
"Brother Dezhu, it's you! You are back!"
When the vigilant soldiers heard Peng Dezhu's answer, they hurriedly came out to greet them. It seemed that the arrival of Peng Dezhu and the others had once again found a backbone for them, like their own brothers who had been relying on them for many years.
After several days of living and dying together, Peng Dezhu quickly grew from an ordinary farmer to a brave anti-Japanese warrior. Looking at the soldiers who fell in front of him every day, although some of them did not even know their names, he still felt like
The loss of a brother brought him uncontrollable pain in his heart. Looking at the friendly soldiers who came out, he felt that everyone in front of him was his relative who had lived and died together for many years.
"How are Tuan Zuo and the others? Were they not discovered by the Japanese?" Peng Dezhu first asked with concern.
"No. Two Japanese soldiers passed by the courtyard but didn't go in. Tuan Zuo is inside, but his injuries are a bit serious. Doctor Liu is taking care of him now."
"Let's go! Let's go see the group seats!"
Peng Dezhu supported Wang Chengcheng and told him that he entered the yard through a collapsed gap in the yard under the leadership of the soldiers in charge of guarding.
Half of the roof of the house where Duan Houchong and the others were hiding had collapsed, and the link in the middle seemed to be shaky and might collapse at any time.
In half the house, including Duan Hou, there were five seriously injured soldiers lying on the ground, and there were several soldiers with varying degrees of minor injuries, sitting or lying scattered around the house. After Peng Dezhu came in, he saw military doctor Liu Wenxu,
He was holding a kettle and carefully feeding Duan Houchhong water.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in behind him, Liu Wenxue turned around. Seeing Peng Dezhu supporting Wang Chengli and Wang Chengli covering his chest with his hands, Liu Wenxue immediately saw that Wang Chengli was injured. He handed the kettle to a soldier next to him.
He quickly stood up and walked to Wang Chengcheng. Together with Peng Dezhu, he supported Wang Chengcheng and asked him to lie down against the wall and corner.
Liu Wenxu carefully examined Wang Chengli's wound, turned around and said angrily to Peng Dezhu: "He is so seriously injured, why don't you bandage him! Even a simple bandage will do!"
Peng Dezhu walked to Wang Chengcheng, squatted down and looked at his wounds, and asked Liu Wenxue anxiously: "What's wrong? Doctor Liu, please treat Brother Chengcheng quickly. When I received Brother Chengli just now, he was injured.
I only thought about leading them to find a way to withdraw, but I didn't expect that my brother would be injured."
"What's wrong? Originally, he only suffered a penetrating injury and no vital parts were injured. If you bandaged him in time, there wouldn't be a big problem. But now, because he has too many wounds, he has lost too much blood and has reached a serious stage.
to the point!"
Peng Dezhu grabbed Liu Wenxu's arm and said, "Doctor Liu, please think of a way, I know you will find a way!"
Liu Wenxue sighed and said: "His current injury is too serious and he needs a blood transfusion. But we don't have this condition now!"
"Cough! Cough...!" Wang Chengcheng was in a coma after lying down. At this time, he suddenly coughed twice and woke up. Peng Dezhu and Liu Wenxue heard the sound and quickly turned around.
Wang Chengli was unconscious, and vaguely seemed to have heard the conversation between Liu Wenxue and Peng Dezhu. At this moment, he said to them intermittently and feebly: "Liu...Liu...military doctor, no...don't, blame...weird virtue...
Dezhu...brother, he...he...has...tried his best."
"Brother, please stop talking. Take a rest and Doctor Liu will definitely cure you." Peng Dezhu stepped forward and took Wang Chengcheng's right hand to comfort him sadly.
"Haha! Cough! Cough...!" He laughed and touched the wound, causing a violent cough. After it subsided, he seemed to feel better, but he still continued to say to Peng Dezhu with difficulty: "Brother...brother, I know...know
I am in...what...situation. This time..., it is...really...failed. I...have...one more request."
Peng Dezhu held Wang Chengcheng's hand tightly and said: "Brother, if you have anything to do, wait until you are better. Stop talking and take a rest."
"If you don't say it again...I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't have a chance. Cough! Cough!"
Wang Chengcheng coughed twice more, and then continued with difficulty: "We must...must...find a way...to take the group...person out. I...I...oh...!"
Wang Chengcheng's voice became deeper and deeper, and the last sentence was not finished but was no longer heard.
"Brother! Brother!" Peng Dezhu shook him desperately, but there was no movement. Liu Wenxu pulled Peng Dezhu away, rushed forward, opened Wang Chengcheng's eyes and checked his pupils. After checking, he sat down
The man on the ground stared blankly at Wang Chengli. Seeing that he didn't respond, Peng Dezhu pushed him and said, "What's wrong? You are talking!"
"Squad Leader Wang has already died."
"How is it possible! How is it possible!" Peng Dezhu still couldn't believe it, muttering to himself blankly, staring blankly at Wang Chengli's face, and he felt as if Wang Chengli had fallen asleep.
In Peng Dezhu's view, this brother who has been with him through life and death many times over the past few days is a warrior who will not be killed in battle. It seems that no Japanese is his opponent. However, now even such a brave warrior cannot be killed.
If they were sacrificed, could they still stand out? This aroused great doubts in Peng Dezhu's mind.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky began to gradually darken. A slightly injured soldier came in from the collapsed place. After entering, he looked at the people inside carefully, walked up to Peng Dezhu and Liu Wenxu and said, "Wang
What’s wrong with the monitor?”
"Sacrificed." Liu Wenxu replied sadly.
"What? Squad Leader Wang also died!" the visitor said in shock.
"He asked me to find a way to take the group out. Now that he has died, how can I take the group out?" Peng Dezhu said with some suffocation.
"Since Squad Leader Wang has entrusted the group to you, no matter what you think of, you have to take the group out. It will be dark soon, what are you going to do?" The visitor has already seen that Peng Dezhu seems to be in despair.
On the edge, I deliberately used harsh words to provoke him.
Peng Dezhu raised his head and looked at the speaker, and seemed to be awakened by him. He held his face with his hands and rubbed it vigorously, then raised his head again and said, "Brother Tieshu, we are the only ones left now.
What should we do next, we have to figure it out together."
Li Tieshu then sat down next to him and said: "It will get dark soon. We have too many wounded people. It may not be easy for them all to get out safely. But since the Japanese haven't discovered us, wait until it gets completely dark."
Come down, the two of us will go out and take a look first to see if there are any weak points in the enemy's defenses, and we'll find a way to break out from there."
"Okay! Let's go out from the east of the village as we agreed at the beginning. Doctor Liu, Brother Tieshu and I will go take a look first, and I'll leave this place to you." Peng Dezhu nodded in agreement with Li Tieshu's words, and said to
Liu Wenxue said.
"Okay! Don't worry." Liu Wenxu said.
After Liu Wenxu agreed, Peng Dezhu turned to Li Tieshu and said: "I think the day is almost over. How about we go out now so that we can find a suitable place to stand out early."
Li Tieshu turned his head and looked at the sky outside and said, "Okay! Let's go now."
With that said, the two stood up, picked up their weapons and walked out of the yard, disappearing in front of Liu Wenxue.
Behind the stacks of wheat straw in a threshing floor at the east end of the village, Peng Dezhu said to Li Tieshu: "It seems that it is not that easy to get through smoothly!"
Li Tieshu turned his head and glanced at the Japs' assembled camp again and said, "It is indeed not an easy task. The Japs must have surrounded the entire village."
"I think you can't get out through this opening. If you want to break in, you'd better go through the ditch a little to the south. There aren't many Japs in that place, and it's not easy for the Japs to find you if you hide in the ditch."
Peng Dezhu still persisted and wanted to get out of the ditch they had just seen.
Li Tieshu retorted: "It won't work there. I looked carefully just now. Although we can climb out of the ditch, it will be very disadvantageous for us if the Japanese discover it."
Peng Dezhu turned around and looked at the Japs camp at the entrance of the village, turned around and said, "Let's go back first and discuss it with Doctor Liu."
"Okay! Let's talk about it when we get back." Peng Dezhu and Li Tieshu stood up and retreated cautiously and quietly.
Liu Wenxu was waiting anxiously for Peng Dezhu and Li Tieshu in the collapsed yard. The sounds of Japanese soldiers could be heard from time to time on the streets of the village. Although he did not hear the sound of fighting guns, Liu Wenxu knew that the two of them might meet at any time.
Encountered danger. When Peng Dezhu and Li Tieshu appeared safely in front of Liu Wenxue, his hanging heart was finally relieved.
Peng Dezhu and Li Tieshu told Liu Wenxue what they had observed and their different opinions, and asked him to put forward his own opinions to determine which direction they would highlight the Japanese defense line. After Liu Wenxue listened to the two
He didn't immediately express his opinion about the situation, but thought about it carefully and then asked: "Tieshu, the east side of the village you mentioned is the Japanese's frontal defense camp. If we go there, we are not asking for death.
?”
Li Tieshu explained: "Although it is the frontal defense camp of the Japanese, the Japanese will never think that we dare to go out from under their noses. This is actually safer, but it will be different if we go from the ditch Dezhu mentioned.
.Although there are no Japs stationed in places like Gouli, the Japs will never take it lightly and will definitely patrol there constantly, making it easier for us to be exposed."
Liu Wenxue thought for a moment and said, "You are right, but how are we going to get through the Japanese camp? We can't just pass in front of us in a big way."
"I just observed that there is a raised slope to the south of the Japanese camp. We climbed over it one by one from the other side of the slope..."
Peng Dezhu suddenly interrupted and said: "Isn't there a Japanese soldier standing on the high slope? If we go over there, he can't find it? Doesn't it mean that we will be sent directly to his gunpoint?"
Li Tieshu turned to Peng Dezhu and said: "I just saw it, it was a Japanese guard post. I think so..."
In the end, both Peng Dezhu and Liu Wenxu agreed to this seemingly dangerous plan proposed by Li Tieshu. After deciding on the retreat route, the three of them made detailed arrangements for the sequence of retreat. Li Tieshu led
