A low voice sounded on the silent battlefield, "Company commander, platoon commander, comrades, are there anyone alive?" Several calls received no response, and there was even a sob of annoyance in the voice.
It was machine gunner Xiao Wu. He was knocked unconscious by Japanese shells, and at the same time he was pressed down by a tilted heavy machine gun. When he woke up, the sky had turned dark, and he didn't understand why for a while. It took him a while to regain his composure.
There were no Japs or soldiers on the battlefield, so he couldn't help but call out on the battlefield.
"Xiaowu." A weak echo came from the trench.
"Platoon leader!" Xiao Wu rushed over excitedly, and the voice came from under the corpse of a Japanese soldier in the trench. Xiao Wu immediately pulled the corpse away, and it turned out to be platoon leader Li Zhuang below.
"Platoon commander, you are still alive!" Xiao Wu shouted in surprise.
"I almost got strangled to death by this little devil." Li Zhuang took a breath and replied: "Fortunately, I caught a bayonet." Li Zhuang said, and then asked: "How are you?"
"I, I was stunned by the shells. When I woke up, there was no one left." Xiao Wu said with some shame.
"There is no one left, where is the company commander?" Li Zhuang shouted immediately.
The two men immediately got up and began to search around. They found another comrade named Mengzi on the battlefield, but he was seriously injured, but the company commander had not yet been found.
"Mengzi, have you seen the company commander?" Li Zhuang asked immediately.
"I saw the company commander was shot." Mengzi replied with a gasp: "Then I heard his order. At that time, we and the Japanese were fighting in a melee. In the end, the company commander seemed to be holding a Japanese soldier and rolled into the trench.
over there."
Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu immediately rushed over. Among the corpses scattered everywhere, they finally found Su Yuan. Su Yuan was surrounded by the corpses of Japanese soldiers. A blunt sword was inserted into the body of a Japanese soldier next to him.
Holding the 38 rifle that had been empty of bullets, he leaned in the trench and remained motionless.
Seeing the company commander covered in blood, Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. The two rushed in front of them. To their surprise, Su Yuan's eyes widened. Li Zhuang called in a low voice but heard nothing.
He was so sad that he wanted to reach out and close the company commander's eyes, while Xiao Wu on the side supported the company commander's body.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuan's body slipped and fell into Xiao Wu's arms, "I didn't expect you guys to still be alive." Su Yuan, who was leaning on Xiao Wu's arms, said in a low voice.
"Company Commander, you are not dead yet." Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu shouted in surprise. Li Zhuang was busy checking the company commander's wounds and bandaging them.
"Just now I was wondering why I didn't die." Su Yuan's words were full of sadness. Indeed, seeing all the soldiers in the company sacrificed, Su Yuan was so sad and angry that he didn't want to continue living. Everything in front of him made him
With hope, as well as Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu, I must take them out and rebuild the sharp knife company to repay the blood debt from the Japanese.
"Look, are there any soldiers alive on the battlefield?" Su Yuan immediately regained his decisiveness.
"Only Mengzi." Li Zhuang carefully replied: "We have already seen it."
The grief and anger have passed. If you are always stuck in pain, there is no need to fight the Japanese. "We must stand out." Su Yuan said.
"The enemies are still surrounding us." Li Zhuang replied, "I just saw it and the Japanese lit fires around them."
"Well, help me go to Mengzi's place." Su Yuan ordered: "Then you pull some clothes from the Japs."
Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu immediately followed the company commander's orders to find clothes and collect some ammunition. Su Yuan insisted on checking Mengzi's injuries. Mengzi was seriously injured. His abdomen was cut open by a piece of shrapnel, and a stream of his intestines could be seen flowing out.
Festival.
Su Yuan felt sad, and he whispered to Mengzi: "Mengzi, it seems that we can't hold on any longer. We must cover Li Zhuang and Xiaowu to escape safely."
"Yes, company commander, I listen to you." Mengzi nodded vigorously.
Su Yuan applied gauze to Mengzi's abdomen, and then strangled him with a belt. This made Su Yuan very tired. Soon, Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu came back and changed their clothes.
Su Yuan checked the ammunition on several people. Xiao Wu's machine gun was still there, but it was a Czech light machine gun which was a bit inconvenient. For this reason, Su Yuan motioned to Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu to make a stretcher to carry the seriously injured Mengzi.
The machine gun was hidden on the stretcher. Su Yuan carried a 38-meter rifle on his back.
A few people took care of each other and walked slowly down the slope. There seemed to be a lot of Japs down the slope, which could be seen from the piles of bonfires. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the fire surrounded by the Japs, Su
Yuan was thinking about how to rush out.
"Get the grenades ready." Su Yuan ordered Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, suddenly, the shouts of the Japanese sentries came from the front. Several people could not understand what the Japanese were saying. Su Yuan had to pretend to be extremely tired and ignore it. He had to get as close as possible.
Finally, the sound of the Japanese pulling the bolt of the gun was heard from the front, and the Japanese's shouts became more severe. "Do it!" Su Yuan shouted immediately.
Su Yuan shot the Japanese sentry first, while Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu immediately put down the stretcher. They quickly threw grenades, and Mengzi on the stretcher held a machine gun and started shooting at the shaking Japanese.
The grenade fell on the group of Japs. The Japs fell into chaos under the sudden attack. The grenade fell on the fire and exploded, causing the burning firewood to scatter. The Japs fled one after another, and for a while, a passage opened in front of them.
"Rush over." Su Yuan immediately ordered, they must pass as quickly as possible, otherwise once the Japanese slow down, they will not be able to get through anyway.
Su Yuan led the way, and Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu followed closely with Mengzi holding a machine gun on a stretcher to suppress the Japanese on both sides.
Soon, they broke out, but the Japanese quickly regained their composure. Thinking of the strict orders from above, the Japanese immediately gathered and chased after them. The few people carrying stretchers retreated slowly, and they could not evacuate like this.
At this time, Mengzi, who was on the stretcher, suddenly rolled off the stretcher. He lay on the ground and fired at the approaching Japanese soldiers. At the same time, he shouted to Li Qiang: "Platoon commander, I will cover you. I will take the company commander away immediately. Only he can do it."
Rebuild our team."
Li Zhuangmeng realized that yes, he could not retreat with Mengzi at this time. He immediately shouted to Xiao Wu who was throwing the grenade: "Xiao Wu, cover the company commander's retreat."
Xiao Wu was most worried about the company commander. What was happening in front of him was quite clear. He immediately grabbed the returning company commander and couldn't help but pick him up and leave regardless of the company commander's objections.
"Mengzi!" Li Zhuang finally shouted unbearably.
"Go quickly!" Mengzi shouted.
When they ran not far away, Su Yuan still wanted to persevere. At this time, he also hesitated, not for his own life or death. Originally, he wanted to cover Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu's evacuation, but Li Zhuang and Xiao Wu were desperate.
I won't give up on myself.
The sound of machine gunfire from behind finally stopped, but then there was a huge explosion of a grenade. Mengzi fired all the bullets, and finally fired the grenade on his body and died together with the approaching Japanese.
"Withdraw!" Su Yuan said reluctantly.
However, the Japs behind still refused to give up and continued to catch up. "It's my turn too." Su Yuan said in his heart. He ordered firmly: "Li Zhuang, Xiao Wu, I will leave cover, and you guys will give up."
I withdraw."
"No!" Xiao Wu immediately replied: "Even if we die, we must die together."
"Li Zhuang, listen to the order, no one of us can leave like this." Su Yuan shouted to Li Zhuang: "Only if you withdraw can we rebuild our sharp knife company."
"Without you, there would be no sharp sword company." Li Zhuang couldn't bear to retreat.
The Japanese were approaching again, and the few people had to prepare for the final decisive battle. At this moment, a burst of gunfire came from the flank of the pursuing Japanese. The Japanese's pursuit immediately slowed down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Wu immediately carried the company commander on his back and retreated.
Finally, several people disappeared into the night.
