Instructor Cheng Min suggested to stop the pursuit and evacuate immediately. The suggestion was timely. The Dutch Camp was suddenly attacked. The two American M8 light armored vehicles on the road soon found out. However, the trees were dense and the two sides in the fierce battle were too close to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
The American M8 light armored vehicles did not dare to fire artillery support for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.
De Vries and Hall fled back to the road, and immediately ordered the armored vehicles to fire back, "嘡, 嘡, 嘡——" Two 37mm M6 artillery guns on two American M8 light armored vehicles opened fire on the hillside and the top of the mountain.
Fierce shooting, "ta da, da da --" the two 7.62mm Browning M1919 coaxial machine guns on the armored vehicle also fired wildly.
For a moment, the hillside and the top of the mountain were filled with smoke. Feng Ren, who had evacuated in time, was secretly glad that the instructor was still cautious and allowed the brothers to escape the firepower of the US military in time.
The U.S. military's firepower was indeed fierce. It seemed like there was no end to the artillery shells and machine gun bullets. After half an hour of fierce bombardment, the U.S. military convoy withdrew and drove northwest along the highway.
Feng Ren directed the team to march south, and suddenly saw a row of soldiers. Everyone was wearing a steel helmet and carrying an American M1 assault rifle on their shoulders. Some soldiers also had two American grenades hanging on their chests. The battle was over.
, the first platoon is already equipped with beautiful weapons and equipment, full of arrogance, Feng Ren praised and said, "Look at the first platoon, Jiu Shan moves very fast, Isshiki's beautiful weapons and equipment."
Second platoon leader Jin Gui, who was following Feng Ren, said dissatisfiedly, "Company commander, you are just partial. Chen Jiushan is a bandit. He takes away everything that is good. I am afraid of hurting the friendship of my brothers who have been with me for many years and not being on the same level as him."
At three o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting bright and the fog in the mountains had not yet dispersed, Lu Chen was woken up from his deep sleep. It was Liu Santang who woke Lu Chen up. Liu Santang whispered, "Lu Chen, it's our turn to stand guard.
Get up quickly."
Instructor Cheng Min felt that Lu Chen was a little aloof, unsociable, and taciturn. Unlike other liberation fighters (reformed Kuomintang captives) who quickly became one with everyone, he arranged for deputy instructor Liu Santang to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Chen and fight in peacetime.
Being nervous and having difficulty finding time, Liu Santang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of standing guard together to have a good talk with Lu Chen.
The location where Jiulian Company camped was on a hillside with slightly flatter terrain. It was surrounded by tall birch and elm trees, and the ground was covered with thick fallen leaves. It was very suitable for camping. The sentinel guard post was on the top of the mountain, not far from the camp.
The location was more than fifty meters away. Lu Chen followed Liu Santang to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Erzhu and another soldier were on guard. Erzhu saw the branches swaying on the hillside and someone climbed to the top of the mountain and asked in a low voice: "Password!"
Liu Santang replied: "Nenjiang is the second pillar, right?"
Second Pillar replied, "Songhua River, Deputy Liu, why are you the one who asked you, a lesbian, to stand guard? I really don't know how the Fourth Platoon Commander arranged it."
The Nenjiang River and the Songhua River are both famous rivers in Northeast China. The D Field Army has been fighting in the Northeast for a long time, so it often uses the Nenjiang River, the Songhua River, the Heilongjiang River, and the Liaohe River as its commands.
The fourth platoon leader Liu Fu was the duty officer today and was responsible for arranging the guard posts. Second Pillar was from Hecheng in the Northeast. He was a bit chauvinistic and felt that a female soldier should not be placed on guard. Liu Santang came to Second Pillar and said in a stern tone
, "Er Zhuzi, stop talking nonsense and go back to rest immediately. There may be a battle at dawn."
There is a pine forest on the top of the mountain. The trunks are not high, usually three or four meters high, but the branches and leaves are dense and the crown is stretched. Pine trees are evergreen coniferous trees all year round. The trunks are usually winding, but the pine trees growing in the forest are relatively tall.
Straight, pine trees do not have high soil requirements and can grow in barren lands, plains, sandy areas, coasts, etc.
In order to cope with emergencies, "Ka--" Liu Santong pulled the bolt of the gun, loaded the bullet, looked around, and found no problems. He stood under a pine tree and chatted with Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, I heard that you are ten
He joined the army at the age of four. The enlistment age for the national army is sixteen. He is a young soldier."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and replied: "In the 31st year of the Republic of China, General Sun Liren was recruiting troops in western Hunan. I was still in school, and I was forced into a car and received a few days of training. I followed him to Burma. Fortunately,
General Sun had some benevolence and left five oceans to my family."
Liu Santang asked: "Lu Chen, it turns out that you were arrested as a young man. Who else are there in your family, parents, brothers and sisters?"
Lu Chen replied, "Mother, father, one younger brother, and one younger sister. My younger sister is in junior high school, and my younger brother is the most successful. He goes to college in Shanghai and majors in navigation and shipbuilding."
Speaking of his younger brother, Lu Chen's face was full of pride and he boasted to Liu Santong, "My younger brother was very smart when he was a child, and the teachers all liked him. Our country has no defense against the sea, and the navy is too weak. I hope that my younger brother will become a
Warship designers, design our own warships.”
Listening to Lu Chen's conversation, Liu Santong felt that the instructor had misunderstood Lu Chen. Lu Chen was also full of passion, but because he was not familiar with the fighting style of the D field army, he seemed a little arrogant. He encouraged him and said: "Lu Chen, you are educated and understand
English is a talent needed for national construction. After the war, you can make great achievements when you return to the country. You must open your heart to your comrades. Together, we are brothers who share life and death. You see, Ha Dajiang was originally a Puppet Manchukuo policeman, but now he is a fighting hero.
, or monitor."
"Shasha——" A strange voice came from the hillside, and Liu Santang made a gesture to Lu Chen, which meant he was ready to fight.
At dawn, the fog in the mountains was thick. Liu Santang and Lu Chen were at the top of the mountain. The fog was lighter and the visibility was still good. Lu Shan noticed two people climbing up from the left side of the hillside. They were tall, wearing dark green military uniforms and black steel helmets.
Holding submachine guns, they were two American soldiers.
The two American soldiers moved carefully and tentatively climbed to the top of the mountain. They were only a dozen meters away from Liu Santang and Lu Chen. They probably didn't find Liu Santang and Lu Chen. On the right side of the hillside was the Ninth Company's campsite. The US military came for a sneak attack. Liu Santang was the first.
It was too late to react and notify everyone, so we could only shoot and call the police.
"Pa—" Liu Santang picked up the Mosin-Nagant rifle and pulled the trigger decisively. The bullet hit an American soldier in the back. "Ah—" the American soldier fell down on the top of the mountain. "Pa—" Lu Chen also
Then a shot was fired, killing another American soldier.
At dawn, the mountains and forests were silent, and the sound of gunshots was particularly clear. The branches on the hillside on the left swayed, and it was obvious that there was an ambush. "Bah, bang -" Liu Santang and Lu Chen fired two shots at the hillside on the left. These two shots were blind shots.
The purpose is to attract the attention of the US military, attract the US military over, and buy time for the Ninth Company to move.
