Chapter 878 It must be a talisman
After reading the telegram, Boss Dai was already confident. "There's clear news about the situation in southern Shanxi. I'm going to see the general manager right away."
Then he looked around, staring at the man in the Military Senate for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there may be times when you don't need me, Dai!"
Many people turned pale. They didn't expect that he really got the information this time. The revenge of the Military Control Commission was no joke!
After saying that, Boss Dai ignored everyone and turned away.
Shen Xing followed behind excitedly, feeling joy from the top of his head to his heels.
What a wonderful timing this telegram came at!
He moved closer to Xiao Wang and said, "Caixuan, that kick just now was great. It must have taken at least ten years of practice!"
Xiao Wang curled his lips, "Caixuan? You called her Caixuan too? Director Shen, please respect yourself!"
Shen Xing: I xxxx
After Boss Dai met that person, he sent a series of urgent telegrams to Luocheng, which were then forwarded to the various troops in Zhongtiao Mountain.
.................
Jincheng, May 7th, sunny.
Erniu lay in the trench, smelling the smell of rust in the soil.
Both his parents had died, so when he was drafted into the army, he followed without much resistance and was later incorporated into a team under the 27th Army.
Squad leader Wang Tiesuo was slowly rolling a cigarette. He tore the message paper into strips a little over two fingers wide, sprinkled the tobacco foam into a line, then deftly rolled it with his hands and licked it with his tongue. The cigarette was ready. He tore off the remaining wisp of tobacco from the big head and asked, "Erniu, do you want to smoke?"
"Squad leader, I can't!"
Wang Tiesuo put the thin end into his mouth, took out a kerosene lighter, lit it and took a puff.
"See? American stuff! The boss gave it to me. Erniu, you don't smoke or drink, but have you ever had sex with a woman?"
The veterans around laughed.
Erniu's face flushed, "Squad Leader, I'm not married yet!"
Wang Tiesuo said with a smile, "After this battle, I will take you to Meng County. It's next to the Yellow River and there are many merchants and young women there. You can even get a red envelope there!"
At this moment, some soldiers were running quickly in the trenches, shouting, "The Japs are coming! The Japs are coming!"
Wang Tiesuo took a few deep puffs and then threw away the cigarette butt. "Brothers! The Japanese are coming! The higher-ups said that if we go further west, we'll reach the Qin River. This is called a last-ditch battle! Let's aim and fight!"
Erniu started to tremble!
Wang Tiesuo took out half a pot cake, which was hard enough to be used as a shield. He hadn't eaten for more than a day, but he still couldn't bear to eat the precious dry food.
"Erniu, eat! You won't be afraid when you're full!"
Erniu took it and swallowed it without caring whether it was chewed or not.
"Squad leader, I'm not afraid!"
Overhead, the roar of bombers began to be heard, and in the distance came the sound of tank tracks rolling over soil and branches.
War is coming!
After the bombing, the position was in a terrible state, but a more difficult test was still ahead. The Japanese, using tanks as cover, gradually approached, and the gunfire became more intense!
"Aim and strike! Aim and strike!"
"Are you guys armed? Come with me and take that iron thing down!"
"I go!"
"I'll go too!"
"Damn it, tie a bomb to me!"
A dozen people jumped out of the trench, with explosive packs tied to their bodies, and crawled forward.
However, after taking a few dozen steps, they came under concentrated enemy fire and the explosives exploded, but the enemy suffered no casualties.
The company commander's eyes were red with anger, and he personally tied the explosive pack and shouted, "Are there any brave men left?"
In an instant, more than a dozen people tied up explosive packs.
The company commander roared, "Everyone, cover me!"
Erniu was stunned.
He gritted his teeth, raised the gun, and his hands stopped shaking.
The warriors jumped out of the trenches again, and the company commander climbed the fastest.
close!close!
We are getting closer to the Japanese tanks!
"boom!"
Blood bloomed on his right shoulder, but the company commander smiled and said, "Fuck you, let's see how many shots you can take to kill me!"
With endless strength surging from his left arm, the company commander kept moving forward, forward, forward!
"boom!"
Finally, when a Japanese tank was running over an anti-tank ditch, the company commander detonated the explosives and the tank was unable to move.
But more tanks and devils came up.
"The commander said, the devils have tanks, we have the death squad. We have defended Zhongtiao Mountain for three years. Success or failure depends on today!"
In the rear, the 46th Division Headquarters.
This place was also bombed by the Japanese, but fortunately the division headquarters was not greatly affected.
"The Kuno detachment has launched an attack!"
"The enemy's 222nd Regiment has begun charging under the cover of tanks!"
"My Fourth Regiment suffered heavy losses!"
"Order the Fourth Regiment to retreat in an orderly manner and maintain formation!"
"Let the 8th Reserve Regiment fill the position and resist with all their might!"
Erniu escaped alive.
Squad leader Wang Tiesuo was hit in the head by a bullet, his forehead was blown open, and his brains were all over the floor.
Erniu seemed to be frightened silly, staring blankly with his eyes wide open and not saying a word.
After a while, he felt around and found the squad leader's cigarette pouch.
He started rolling a cigarette.
It was not rolled into a proper shape, so he stuffed it into his mouth. Someone nearby found a match from somewhere and helped him light it.
Erniu was choked and tears were streaming down his face.
The defense line in the Jincheng area was still broken. Fortunately, with proper command, most of the remaining soldiers broke out and retreated to the Jiyuan area in an orderly manner to rebuild the defense line.
On the way of retreat, an old woman wearing a headscarf stopped Erniu.
Erniu said, "Old man, run south, run south, the Japs are coming."
The old woman shivered and stuffed three pairs of shoes at him. "I'm also in the third company. These shoes are no longer needed. They are no longer needed. Let your child wear them!"
The old man's eyes were cloudy with tears. Erniu looked down at his cloth shoes. The soles were covered with talisman ashes obtained from the temple.
It must be a talisman.
The Western Front.
The Japanese gathered in Anyi and Xiaxian areas, forming a wide front. The air force borrowed from the Kwantung Army was dispatched from Yuancheng Military Airport in large numbers, using machine gun fire to clear the way for the infantry and launched a fierce attack on Xinliyuan and Wangjiayao areas.
The Japanese fought for an entire afternoon, deploying a total of thirty tanks. However, the Third Army, responsible for guarding the Xia County defense line, fought bravely. No matter how fierce the enemy's artillery fire was, they would never retreat. Some positions even saw brutal hand-to-hand combat. The soldiers deliberately let the tanks and Japanese come up, then tied explosives to their bodies, fought with bayonets, and then ignited the explosives.
This life-threatening fighting style shocked the Japanese.
In Yuancheng, in the temporary command center, the old devil Okamura was furious.
"Baga! Send an order to the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade. Tonight, we must capture the enemy's Third Army positions. Send the aviation forces to continue to bomb and strafe the enemy positions!"
"General! The air force said that the visibility is low at night and the south side is mountainous, so they can't take off at night!"
These borrowed soldiers were simply useless. Okamura was furious. "Baka!"
Lin Ze was also at the headquarters. Hearing this, he was moved and stood up to ask for instructions. "Your Excellency, if fighting breaks out near Yuancheng, I'm afraid guerrillas and bandits will seize the opportunity to strike. The Salt Company has vehicles and a certain amount of security. I would like to do my part and lead a patrol around Yuancheng day and night to prepare for any eventuality."
Okamura felt much better. "Lin-san, if everyone was like you, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
