Chapter 375: The Great Sweep: Blazing Heroic Souls
The gunfire gradually stopped. The corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere inside and outside the small courtyard. They were piled up and down in the alley. The blood flowed out along the ditch on the side of the alley. It meandered all the way forward and gathered in the sewer outside the entrance of the alley.
in the sewer, mixed with the sewage in the sewer, and flowed forward with a fishy smell.
More than an hour of fighting had passed, and the Japs had attacked Mukai Jingming's squadron no less than a dozen times, but there was only one result, and that was that they were beaten back by Shunzi and the others, which resulted in many people being injured.
Of course Shunzi and the others also paid a heavy price, and now there are only three people left. The remaining few people have either died in the Japanese bombings or died under the Japanese guns.
Poking his head out of the dirt, Shunzi shook his head to shake off all the dirt on it, then wiped his face that was mixed with sweat and blood, and looked around.
What caught his sight was blazing flames everywhere, mixed with the sound of crackling wood and the groans of some Japanese soldiers who were not dead.
All that was left of the original small courtyard was a piece of ruins. The walls that were originally only waist high had been blown down by the Japs. Shunzi and the others had already retreated to the house fifteen minutes ago, relying on the house to resist the enemy.
attack.
Looking at it now, the house has been reduced to a pile of rubble, and several half-burnt beams are stuck on the rubble, as if they are arms reaching to the sky.
"Da Niu, little monkey, are you still alive?" Shunzi took a breath, and then shouted towards the place where the two people were just now. The explosion just now caused the three people to be scattered to different places.
"Battal Commander, I'm here." Da Niu's muffled response came from a pile of broken bricks. As the voice rang out, the pile of broken bricks fell off with a crash, revealing Da Niu's big face that was blackened by gunpowder smoke.
Blackface.
But the little monkey on the other side didn't respond at all. Shunzi felt his heart sink. He probably was in danger.
But Shunzi didn't feel too sad, because this was a battle, and death was unavoidable. Even he could be hit in the head by a Japanese bullet at any time. Life and death were no longer important at this moment.
Daniel spent a lot of effort to free himself from the rubble, limped to Shunzi, and then sat down next to him, "Batalion Commander, there are only two of us left."
"Daniu, what's wrong with your leg?" Shunzi saw Daniel's bloody thigh at a glance and asked hurriedly.
Daniel looked at the bloody thigh and the white bones exposed above, and laughed nonchalantly, "It was hit by a beam. It's not a big deal, battalion commander. I can still kill a few Japs."
of."
"Well done." Shunzi reached out and patted his shoulder, then looked at the sacrificed soldiers, "I, Shunzi, are blessed to have brothers like you."
"Battal Commander, if you don't say that, it's not a big deal if we just throw away these eight and a half kilograms to fight the Japanese." A simple and honest smile hung on Daniel's dark face.
Shunzi felt his heart heat up. He punched Da Niu hard on the chest, then grabbed a rifle and loaded bullets into it. "Okay, our brothers will fight the little devil to the end."
Daniel snorted and started loading bullets into the gun.
After each Japanese attack, there would be a few minutes of rest. It was probably because the Japanese wanted to clean up the team, so the two of them were able to rest for a while.
Shunzi unscrewed the grenade caps one by one, pulled out the fuse, and placed it in an open space next to him, ready to use it later. Daniel, on the other hand, rummaged through the Japs' corpses and loaded up their ammunition and equipment.
Untie it and prepare yourself for easy use.
By now, the guns of Shunzi and the others were out of bullets. The weapons they were using now were all seized from the Japanese, so they needed to collect bullets.
After rummaging through a Japanese corpse, Daniel seemed to have found something. He turned around happily, waved the thing in his hand and shouted to Shunzi, "Batalion Commander, what do you think this is?"
"Cigarettes, where did you find them?" Shunzi saw the Hardman cigarette in Daniel's hand at a glance. He was not only surprised but also happy, "Quick, give me one. I haven't smoked it all day, but it hurts me."
I’m so suffocated.”
Daniel threw the entire cigarette case to him and chuckled, "Batalion Commander, this belongs to the Japanese. It's such a good smoke."
Shunzi took out one and held it in her mouth, then lit it with the burning flame beside her, took a deep breath, and then closed her eyes comfortably, "Comfortable, as comfortable as a grandma."
Daniel also smiled when he saw it.
Only three or four minutes later, the footsteps of the Japanese were heard outside the door again. The two people tensed up, turned over and rushed to the door of the house that had collapsed long ago with only half of the wall left, and looked out.
The familiar yellow military uniform of the Japanese and the thin steel helmet like a layer of paper swayed in the sight of the two people, and they had already poured into the courtyard gate again.
"beat!"
After the Japanese got closer, Shunzi raised his hand and threw out the grenade that had been unscrewed for a long time. He yelled and then picked up the rifle.
With a loud bang, several of the Japanese who rushed at the gate of the courtyard were blown away by the blast of grenades. The already shaky gatehouse finally failed to hold up and shattered into a pile of bricks with a click.
The grenade cut off the communication between the inside and outside of the Japs. Shunzi and the two men began to massacre the seven or eight Japs soldiers in the yard. Every time the two men fired their rifles, some Japs fell to the ground, but the Japs held the drill in the rubble.
The two men were a little helpless, and their shots failed several times.
In less than a minute, the Japanese attack was repulsed again. Seven or eight corpses were left in vain, and nothing was recovered.
Shunzi moved the rifle to his side, then rushed to a corner not far away, shouting to Daniel as he ran, "Daniu, take cover quickly, the Japanese bombardment is coming soon."
However, there was no response from behind him, which made Shunzi stop suddenly. He turned around and found that a bullet had penetrated Daniel's front heart and flew out from his back. Now the blood has dried up.
.
Just now, Daniel actually used his last life to help him repel another Japanese attack.
"Big cow!"
Shunzi yelled at Daniel's body, then turned around and got into the corner. Almost at the same time, the Japanese shells roared over and swept over the place where he had just fought.
After the Japanese bombardment ended, Shunzi discovered that there was nothing left where Daniel had been just now, except for a large crater that had been blasted out, and a pool of bright red blood on the edge of the crater.
Shunzi punched the broken wall next to him and let out a cry.
At this time, the Japanese attack started again. Shunzi didn't even have time to look at the place where Daniel died. He hurriedly took the gun and rushed to the bunker to meet the Japanese again.
