"Let's go, it's time to set off." Liu Yangyang walked out of the darkness again, holding his Mauser rifle in his hand, and the rifle in the holster on his waist. He looked like an unsheathed steel knife.
A dozen figures stood up in the darkness at the city gate. After Liu Yangang called their names, the group lined up and walked out of the city gate for about half a mile, arriving at a secret position.
This is not a formal defensive position, but an outpost position set up by the teaching team. It is a temporary position specially prepared for the Second Company to prepare for forward security missions.
Liu Yangyang, who had patrolled the position, closed his eyes and took a nap in the machine gun nest made of sandbags. Tang Cheng took a piece of coarse cloth and wiped his speed machine gun. The gun followed Tang Cheng all the way from Shanghai to
In Nanjing, it was used by Tang Cheng to kill Japanese soldiers, and was also used as a dart by Tang Cheng in a hurry. This shell gun has become an indispensable good partner of Tang Cheng. The m1911 is the side gun that Robert once used. Tang Cheng
The city chose to leave this m1911 idle more because it entrusted Tangcheng with the memory of Robert and Tangcheng was unwilling to use it as a weapon.
The soldiers of the Second Company stationed at the outpost were not sleepy at all. Even those who were lying down were staring blankly at the night sky with their eyes open. A few veterans who couldn't sleep simply touched Liu Yangyang with cigarettes and snacks.
They spent the long night chatting in the machine gun nest. "Company commander, do you think we can hold on to Nanjing City?" Niu Wazi's face was full of grease as he gnawed on a duck head, but his eyes were watching.
Tang Cheng was cleaning his gun with a serious look on his face.
The veterans of the Second Company are all older than Niu Wazi, and the oldest Liu Yangyang is 14 years older than Niu Wazi. However, this does not prevent Niu Wazi, who is only 21 years old, from being a big man in front of Tangcheng.
Because Tang Cheng is two years younger than him. The veterans usually like to joke, but at this moment their faces are full of solemnity. Obviously Niu Wazi's question is also something they want to ask. Shanghai ahead
Already defeated, for more than ten days in a row, Guanghua Gate had released many broken troops and refugees into the city. Nanjing Garrison Commander Tang Shengzhi also said that he would defend Nanjing City to the death, but what the veterans cared about was Liu Yangang's attitude.
They are not afraid of opponents who are like wolves, but they are afraid of teammates who are like pigs. Veterans don’t want the commander who leads them to fight to be of the same mind as everyone else. "Pfft" Liu Yangyang spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground and said without raising his head, "
We have to defend if we can't hold it. We are soldiers. The worst we can do is die in Nanjing." Liu Yangyang's answer made the veterans face each other. Although they had already guessed Liu Yangyang's answer, there was something in his words.
The decision still made them feel cold.
"Don't just die and die all day long. It's unlucky, Niu Wazi. How many duck heads have you eaten? Why don't you leave some for us?" Qiu Jiangong, the third squad leader, saw that everyone was silent, so he
Changing the topic to smooth things over. Tang Cheng, who had remained silent, put the loaded spare magazine into his pocket, readjusted the gun belt, and then raised his eyes to look at the veterans.
"Mr. Tang has long ordered all the boats on the river to be driven away. None of us can leave. Rather than lose our momentum, it is better to fight to the death here. Maybe we can repel the Japanese attack." Liu Yangyang's words were very
Wait, everyone heard a bad connotation in his words. Liu Yangyang heard all this information from the snobbish mouths of the teaching corps. Although Liu Yangyang despised the people in the teaching corps from the bottom of his heart,
But he also knew that those guys wouldn't joke about it.
During the Shanghai War two months ago, the Japanese army mobilized so many troops and marched into Shanghai, but they could not stop the Japanese army. Although there were a lot of troops in Nanjing, many of them had heavy weapons, not to mention light machine guns.
Not much at all. With such a posture to defend Nanjing City, anyone with a little common sense will know that it is a bit uncertain. But they are the ones who carry guns and eat food. Since they take this food and salary, they have to risk their lives, especially at this time.
It should be so.
"Forget it, just die. Anyway, we are with the brothers. Even down below, we are also a group of guys. We still hug together and fight those evil spirits." Li Fugui, who has always been optimistic, rubbed the jade on his neck.
Huizi kept laughing, but the smile on his face was uglier than crying. Everyone who looked at him said he was fake. There was no sound in the machine gun nest for a while. Everyone couldn't muster the energy to speak, and they just leaned together and thought.
With his own thoughts in mind, and with a little effort, Niuwazi, still holding a duck head in his hand, leaned on the sandbag and began to snore.
"Damn it, this piece of shit is heartless. Anyway, he is living alone. After one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry." Liu Yangyang took the tattered coat that covered the machine gun and covered it with the cow.
Liu Yangyang took out his cigarette and smoked it. "Just remember that you are from the Second Company. Don't let that guy from the teaching corps see our joke." Liu Yangyang held the cigarette butt in his mouth.
The darkness flickered and the light flickered, no one in the machine gun nest spoke, even Tang Cheng seemed to be asleep and made no sound.
Liu Yangyang, who had finished smoking a cigarette, huddled up and took a nap against the light machine gun nest. His whole body seemed to have stooped a lot. His figure, which was not very tall, looked even smaller. He was in the machine gun nest.
He hugged his knees and huddled up and stopped talking. With his back against the sandbag, Tang Cheng took out the bayonet from his waist and rubbed the blade with his fingertips. This was his favorite thing to do recently, but he had never scratched his finger by the blade.
Tang Cheng is not bored and has nothing to do. He just likes the feeling of the blade running across his fingertips. It is very special and exciting. This is a habit Tang Cheng only got after he was sent to the home of the daughter-in-law of an old man named Wu to recuperate.
, whenever Tang Cheng gets upset or nervous, he always rubs the blade, only in this way can he relax.
As an officer, Liu Yangyang himself didn't know whether Nanjing could be defended. However, during the meetings of the Second Regiment, Xie Chengrui was full of confidence every time, saying that there were many elite troops from various places around Nanjing.
Reinforcements will continue to arrive in Nanjing. The Chairman is seeking international support. As long as the first few waves of Japanese attacks are withstood, when the accumulated combat power of the Japanese army weakens, Nanjing, which has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, will surely be able to defend it.
Liveable.
Liu Yangyang, who had fought twice in the Songhu Battle in his half-life as a soldier, was not one of those illiterate officers in the Kuomintang army. Xie Chengrui's words could not dispel Liu Yangyang's doubts. Since reinforcements from all walks of life could come to Nanjing for support,
, then why couldn't they directly intercept the Japanese troops invading Nanjing? Why did they have to place the battlefield in Nanjing? Since the government was already sure of responding to the Japanese troops' attack, why did they have to withdraw their troops from Shanghai in a hurry and just do it in Shanghai?
It would be better to drive the Japanese into the sea, and save the trouble of those reinforcements coming to Nanjing.
Liu Yangyang was full of questions like Niu Wazi, but he was only a small captain and company commander, and he was also a captain and company commander of the 88th Division who was not welcomed by the teaching corps. Important and confidential things were beyond his reach.
His only mission is to try to appease his brothers so that when the Japanese army launches an attack, they will not abandon their guns, run away and lose their position. The only thing he can do is to lead these brothers and fight to the death with the Japanese army without receiving an order to retreat.
, we can’t take a step back, we can’t bring discredit to the Second Company.
There was no light in the dark night, and there was no sound on the battlefield. Everyone, like Liu Yangyang, huddled in the simple position holding their rifles and taking a nap. The second regiment only said that the second company would go out of the city to serve as a guard, but did not say that they had to force it.
The Second Company launched a search outside the city. Therefore, the people of the Second Company only need to sleep in this temporary position for one night, and go back and tell the Second Regiment that no abnormalities are found. It will be considered as completing the mission. I believe that those guys who don’t want to see the Second Company will not touch them in the middle of the night.
Come out to confirm whether the Second Company is holding on to the position.
Counting Tang Cheng and Jiu Jin, the second company now has 17 people. Liu Yangyang has divided the second company into three classes, with 5 people in each class. He and Tang Cheng are not included in the three classes. In Zhonghuamen
After seeing through the dozen Japanese spies, the veterans of the second company fully recognized Tang Cheng's ability. Liu Yangyang singled out Tang Cheng as his assistant. The others had nothing to say, but they were concerned about Jiu Jin's ownership.
, the three monitors had an argument.
The second company now has no shortage of light weapons. Everyone has a long and short rifle. Jiujin even imitated Liu Yangyang and carried two shell guns. The second company has no heavy machine guns or mortars, only one Czech
Type light machine gun, the machine gunner was originally Nianzi, but in order to keep Jiujin, Nianzi had secretly promised Jiujin to be the machine gunner, so Jiujin's ownership meant that the machine gun belonged to him. In the end, Liu Yangyang made the decision.
, leaving Jiujin and the light machine gun with Nianzi's squad, everyone stopped arguing about this moment.
Niu Wazi, who was covered in a torn coat, was already sleeping with drooling from the corner of his mouth. Jiu Jin's snoring was like a muffled thunder. Tang Cheng, who was leaning on the sandbag, kept his eyes open. There were such incidents in the battlefield notes left by Xie Bo.
Record, when marching and camping or on night watch, you need to be careful and vigilant. You cannot take it lightly just because you are away from danger, otherwise you will be the one who ends up harmed.
Liu Yangyang and the others drove a truck all the way from Suzhou to Nanjing, but Tangcheng walked step by step on their own legs. They encountered Japanese infiltration troops several times on the road, not to mention the two air raids by Japanese aircraft.
Thrilling, so compared to Liu Yangyang and the others, Tang Cheng seems to be better able to understand that the approaching danger is not far away.
At dawn, Liu Yangyang woke up quietly after spending the night curled up. Seeing that Tang Cheng had not slept all night, Liu Yangyang politely kicked Niu Wazi awake, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and replaced Tang Cheng, who slept for a while.
"Back to the city" the second company stayed outside the city until daybreak. Seeing nothing happened all night, Liu Yangyang couldn't help but scolded the teaching team again, "Damn, these idiots know how to take advantage of our poverty."
