march to victory

Sun Ping, 20 years old this year.

Don't look at him as young, he has been in the army for more than three years, and he came from the Long March. Not only is he an old party member, but he is now the squad leader of the second squad of the assault company.

Back then, he was able to join the assault company led by Zhang Qingshan because his hearing was easy for ordinary people.

At this time, he was leading the whole squad of soldiers, honestly working as a porter, and urgently moved the shells.

suddenly!

He faintly heard an abnormal sound, but the sound was too small, and the sky was already dark, and there was no moonlight, so the visibility was extremely low, and it was pitch black about ten meters away, so he was not sure.So, he just froze for a moment, glanced at the source of the sound, and listened carefully, but there was no movement. He thought that he might have heard it wrong, shook his head, and muttered, "Why do I always hear it wrong recently?" Bending down, Put your hands on the cannonball box...

But just as his hands touched the sides of the cannonball box, he was about to use force when suddenly, he heard a muffled sound of broken dead branches clearly in his ears... This could only be the sound of heavy objects breaking the branches, but now this area The area was attacked from morning to night, and even if there were animals, they would either be scared away, or they would hide in burrows, never daring to show their heads.In other words, the sound of dead branches breaking can only be artificial.

And there is a cordon outside, so the number of people coming will definitely not be many, probably the fish that slipped through the net earlier.

"Who? Get lost..."

Sun Ping was startled, and immediately put down the ammunition box. Before he straightened his waist, he touched the cannon box on his right waist with his right hand, and yelled sharply—not only forcing the comer out, but also reminding the comrades around him.

But before he finished yelling, he heard a slight collision sound, and immediately after that, he saw a fist-sized object fly over and rolled directly to his feet.

Looking down, Sun Ping was so frightened that it was a grenade used by devils.

Without even thinking about it, he instinctively kicked the grenade back.

Since the opponent even threw a grenade, let alone the grenade used by the little devil, it can only be the enemy.

"Clap! Clap! Clap"

Sun Ping, who was taken aback, didn't even think about it. He raised his pistol and pointed it forward. He roughly estimated that there were three shots.

But at this time, the comrades around came back to their senses and quickly drew out their guns. Some shouted to remind their comrades, and some even drew out their guns and were about to rush over there, but they were thrown down ... Everyone is ready to shoot at the enemy.

After the three shots were fired, Sun Ping held the gun tightly, stared at him nervously with his eyes wide open—because of the sound of the gunshots, he couldn't hear the other party's reaction, and the visibility was too low to be sure whether he hit or shot. die each other.

The waiting time of about one second made Sun Ping feel as long as a year.

suddenly!

Under the pitch-black night, a black figure rushed over quickly, opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug something, and yelled something.

I don't know if it is because of being too nervous, which leads to high concentration.Sun Ping felt that he could see clearly that this little devil was holding a grenade in each hand.

Scared, Sun Ping quickly fired, and the comrades beside him also pulled the triggers one after another.

"Clap! Clap! Clap..."

Amidst the sound of box cannons, this little devil was less than six meters away from the nearest pile of shell boxes.

It seemed that this little devil who had been beaten like a sieve fell down unwillingly, and everyone was safe.

However, Sun Bin noticed with keen eyes that when this damned little devil fell down, he seemed to concentrate all his strength on his right hand, and threw the grenade in his hand to the nearest shell box from bottom to top.

Some people heaved a long sigh of relief, some pointed their guns at the darkness in front of them, and some cursed... But no one noticed this!

"Lie down!"

At the critical moment, Sun Ping had no other thoughts in his mind, and he only wanted to save this pile of shell boxes and all his comrades in arms. For this, he would spare no expense.

With a loud shout, his eyes were firm, his face was solemn, his teeth were clenched, and he quickly rushed towards the pile of shell boxes.

Everyone looked at him in bewilderment, wondering why he rushed to the shell box in such a hurry at this time.However, when everyone looked at the shell box as he ran, someone finally discovered the grenade that was less than 1.5 meters away from the shell box.

At this moment, everyone was terrified... Even if someone wanted to move, it would not be as fast as Sun Ping.

But Sun Ping rushed in front of the grenade, guessing that it was too late to kick it away, he gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, his body jumped up, and he threw himself directly onto the grenade.

"Comrades! Kill devils!"

"boom!"

The two grenades exploded almost at the same time, and the effect was similar: the grenade in the left hand of the killed little devil blew up the little devil's left hand.And Sun Ping was also blown to pieces, blood and minced meat were scattered everywhere with the explosion.

"Little grandson~!"

"Squad leader~!"

"Sun Ping~!"

At this moment, the soldiers' eyes were red, and they rushed over with grief and indignation, but they were at a loss for Sun Ping, who was almost left with half of his shoulders and a head, and they all beat their chests and feet, and cried bitterly.

Sun Ping died, but the shells in the shell box were saved.But the last sentence he said before his sacrifice, "Comrades, kill devils!" was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts, and became an immortal spirit that inspired everyone to kill devils bravely.It also shows to all enemies that the Chinese nation has two Great Walls—one is the Great Wall built of stones; the other is the Great Wall of spirit made of flesh and blood.The Great Wall will not fall down, but the spirit will last forever, and the way to see this spiritual Great Wall is very simple-only the invaders need to step into this land.

After learning about this, Zhang Qingshan gathered the artillery company together, gently stroked a shell, looked at the dry brown blood on the shell box, and said with a sigh: "Comrades, please remember that all you have Every shell fired is not only infected with the blood of the martyrs, but also entrusts the last wishes and unyielding spirit of the martyrs, which is of great significance!"

And the second fool replied: "There is nothing to say, we can only be worthy of the sacrifices of our comrades and our own conscience by training desperately, striving to hit wherever we point and hit every shot!"

Just 1 minute before the sacrifice of Martyr Sun Ping, Naoi Yamaguchi in the distance also told the staff officer who had just run back with the rout and learned that the artillery position had been occupied by the assault regiment, and all the cannons and shells had been taken by the opponent. .

I don't know if it was because of the previous fainting that he now has the ability to withstand the blow. He didn't get angry, but just nodded lightly, and lightly told everyone to quickly retreat with the big car.

However, as soon as he gave the order, he heard the explosion of grenades from the artillery position.

Naoi Yamaguchi raised his head impressively, staring at the artillery position with a bit of hope, imagining the appearance of huge explosions one after another.

But the reality disappointed him. Except for three grenades and a burst of gunfire, the scene he imagined did not appear, but calmness quickly returned.

After waiting for a while, after confirming that there was no sound from the artillery position, he slapped the window sill heavily, opened his mouth wide to shout, but couldn't make a sound, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and said: : "I made a mistake, I really made a mistake, I shouldn't send people to snatch it, but should directly bombard it, what a pity..."

This is where he is vicious: according to his thinking at this time, he should not send people to blow up, but should use small steel cannons to directly fire at the artillery positions.In this way, the entire artillery position will inevitably be blown up, and even the comrades and assault regiments above will definitely die together.However, fortunately, he was flustered at the time, and he felt that Zhang Qingshan was defeated by Zhang Qingshan in terms of strategy, so he was not as good as Zhang Qingshan. Therefore, the panic and frustration made him not think about anything else at the time, but instinctively sent someone to blow up the artillery position.

But at this time, even if he could react, it was too late: First, the situation on the battlefield was very critical, and it could be judged from the gunshots that the opponent was launching a full-scale charge against them, and they were not far away. I really can't go anymore.Secondly, the gunners of the small steel cannons have been dispersed at this time, and only a few small steel cannons have been moved to the car. We can't let them get out of the car and set up a formation to shell the artillery positions, right?In that case, I am afraid that before they set up the small steel cannons, the assault regiment would have wiped them all out.To put it bluntly, time is short and life-saving comes first.In our words, it means 'if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood'. Anyway, there are so many little devils that they send them cannons and shells.

"Sir..."

"Forget it, let's go... oh~!"

Accompanied by Naoi Yamaguchi's long sigh, the tragic battle of Gezikou was decided, and the curtain came to an end... Zhang Qingshan wanted to send someone to stop the deserters, but the problem was that he didn't Soldiers can be sent!But if you chase him down, you won't have any advantage on your side, instead it will give the little devil an opportunity to take advantage of.Therefore, after chasing him for a mile, Zhang Qingshan gave an order - don't chase after the poor!

Statistics afterwards!

In this battle, the Assault Regiment sacrificed 73 people, 140 and [-] people were seriously injured, and most of them were lightly injured. Don’t look at the large number, but you must know that this is the first time the Assault Regiment has fought positional warfare, and there are many Among them are the new recruits, but the little devil has the advantage of firearms. They are all veterans. The assault group can only pay such a casualty rate. To be honest, it is really good. .

Kill the 390 four little devils, including the little devil cavalry.But the problem is that none of the little devils were captured, including the wounded little devils, who were either rescued by the little devils themselves or committed suicide.It can be seen from this that the little devil is indeed fierce under the brainwashing of militaristic ideas.

The second devils are worthy of being afraid of death, or in other words, their life-saving means of fleeing the battlefield are really superb. One 210 were killed and 210 seven were captured.

The Third Battalion, which had been holding back the little devils who had been routed from Sanqiao County, lost 94 people, seriously injured 70, and only 33 were slightly injured.However, although they did not seize much in terms of weapons and ammunition, they captured a little devil.

In this battle, a total of 730 long and short guns and countless ammunition were seized.There are six mountain cannons with 120 shells.There are thirteen small steel cannons, all of which are in good condition, but there are only a few shells, only 210 eight shells.

With this surprise, Zhang Qingshan's regret for not capturing a big car was washed away a lot.

Although it was a tragic victory, this battle is of great significance: from the perspective of the overall situation of the War of Resistance in this area, it is conducive to the development of a base area.For the assault regiment itself, this was their first positional warfare. After this battle, the assault regiment's positional warfare capabilities have been thoroughly tested.

For Zhang Qingshan himself, if he reported this battle, the punishment for his previous crimes would definitely be reduced.After all, it is now a national war of resistance, and personally speaking, Zhang Qingshan has made the greatest contribution to the war of resistance in this area.For a commander like Zhang Qingshan who has rich command experience and can often win battles, he is definitely the most scarce and needed.

Of course, even Zhang Qingshan thinks so, but...
