Since Company Commander Gu said that our company was following me, Zhou Xiu took people to stay behind.

This is not to say that he is afraid of death, but that he does not have the 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 commander they had left at that time, but after talking to him, he was also killed.

Among the remaining soldiers, Zhou Xiu is still a person who can beat him, so everyone is willing to follow him. Coke is willing to follow him but it doesn’t mean he can make a decision by himself.

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

However, due to the obstruction of the collapsed house, they could not see clearly what the battle situation was ahead.

However, even before Company Commander Gu and his team arrived, the gunfire in front of them did not stop. It was obvious that the enemy and us were still in fierce battles.

The advantage of the Japanese army is that they have strong firepower, and they can use aircraft and cannons to bombard the defending positions.

However, when the Japanese infantry rushed up, the Northeast Army, as the defender, had a greater advantage. After all, the Japanese army was approaching. As long as the Northeast Army was not afraid of death, the casualties caused by rushing into the enemy group with a bundle of cluster grenades would never be small.

With a "boom", another huge explosion sound came from ahead, and Zhou Xiu and the others saw the smoke columns produced by the explosion soared into the air.

At this time, the Japanese army crossing the river had 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 definitely not so loud. Then the defenders could only fire cluster grenades again.

"Didn't Gu Man just now say that the people in front are almost exhausted? It is estimated that someone from the third company defending the position has died with the Japanese." Zhou Xiu speculated.

At this time, Zhou Xiu and others heard the dense gunshots. The gunshots sounded like a short shot of Huaji or box cannons. It seemed that the people of Company Commander Gu and others rushed forward.

"I don't know how many people will be left in the company after this battle." At this time, some soldiers from Zhou Xiu's group sighed.

The soldier was named Gu Bing, who was originally in the same platoon as Zhou Xiu.

It is not only Shang Zhen’s group that has scholars, but also Zhou Xiu’s group that has scholars. At least Gu Bing’s words are more down-to-earth than Chu Tian, ​​who is very bookish, and Chen Hanwen, who is a bit pedantic.

"Who knows, I feel that this human life is like a brick on the ground. After a war, there are fewer bricks." Zhou Xiu said.

"Human life is like grass, human life is like bricks, which is appropriate." Zhou Xiu echoed, and after that, everyone stopped saying a word, and then they all stared at the black smoke and dust spreading in front of them.

After more than twenty minutes, Zhou Xiu suddenly said "huh". At this time, not only him, but also Gu Bing, who was with him, saw that someone ran back in front of him with the cover of the ruins.

"Guman is back." Zhou Xiu whispered.

Although Gu Man is very big, he is a veteran, and his movements through the ruins are quite neat.

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

"How was the fight ahead?"

"Are you back?"

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

"What can I do? I can't see that it's dark and I have to throw it all inside." Gu Man's expression was a little dim.

A company had to throw all the people inside, and naturally he also included his third brother, the Gu Company Commander.

"I have something like this when I come back. My third brother said he doesn't want you to rush forward, he hopes you can pass on this." After that, Gu Man tilted his head and took off the bag he carried on.

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

Even the company commander Gu is just a company commander. They are all the lowest-level officers and soldiers. What important things should be left to pass on?

“This is a home letter written by some of our company.

I couldn't survive this battle, but I missed homesome, so my third brother told you to see if you could save these family letters.

Don’t worry, how many more you can survive in the end, as long as you are alive, you will keep all these letters. One day you can bring these letters back to your hometown, which is also a thought for your family.” Guman said again.

After Gu Man said this, Zhou Xiu and Gu Bing looked at him, and there was a little sadness in their hearts.

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

If one day, the letters of the Northeast soldiers fighting in a foreign land were really sent back to the three northeastern provinces, it would certainly give some thoughts to the families of the Northeastern army in the Northeastern army, and these letters were also a thoughts of the Northeastern army officers and soldiers.

Home, how many times have you appeared in your dreams... I am so attached to you.

"Okay, we keep these letters. If all our people die, then we will hand them over to other Northeastern brothers before we die." Zhou Xiu replied.

"Okay, then please Brother Zhou." Gu Man responded, then got up and ran forward again.

Zhou Xiu saw Gu Man, who was more than 1.80 meters tall, stand up.

In fact, Guman is not thin, but he is tall, so he naturally looks thin. Zhou Xiu seemed to have seen the half-baby who used to be naughty in the military camp every day.

But at this moment, Zhou Xiu suddenly felt a move in his heart and shouted: "Guman, wait!"

"What's wrong? Brother Zhou." When he heard Zhou Xiu call him, Gu Man squatted down again.

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

"What did you say?" Gu Man's face turned slightly red.

"Fuck, I'm not with your third brother, I'll ask 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 upstairs."

After saying that, Gu Man stood up and ran towards the smoke-filled front again.

When he ran, Zhou Xiu also moved.

However, Zhou Xiu did not run forward with Gu Man, but ran to a ruin next to him.

Gu Bing, who was with Zhou Xiu, didn't know what Zhou Xiu wanted to do, so he could only look at him in place. Seeing Zhou Xiu quickly disappeared behind the ruins.

More than ten minutes later, Zhou Xiu ran back from another direction.

"You went there just now?" Gu Bing asked Zhou Xiu.

"Oh." Zhou Xiu sighed first before saying, "This kid Guman is just ignoring it."

"What are you blind?" Gu Bing didn't understand.

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

Zhou Xiu didn't say it too much, but his words were enough to let Gu Bing figure out what was going on just now.

The reason why the company commander Gu asked Gu Man to come back was only one reason, but 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 death without returning to the front line is naturally small, so it can be considered as leaving a back for their Lao Gu family.

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

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

Everyone has selfish thoughts, so it is understandable that Company Commander Gu felt sorry for his younger brother who did this.

"Why would that boy dare to go back? His brother won't scold him?" Gu Bing asked after a while.
