The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2398: Living Towards Death (VI)

"You really don't want us to live!" a soldier shouted, but his voice was filled with tears, and then tears and snot flowed down.

"***! Look at what you have accomplished!" a soldier nearby cursed angrily.

Old soldiers are old soldiers, and they are not fearless. Now they are caught between their own people and the Japanese army. They will die if they move forward or backward. Of course, there are some losers among them.

"You have the potential, you have the potential. Are you going to fight back or attack forward?" Naturally, there were soldiers nearby who were dissatisfied.

Listening to these words, how should I put it? They are just words spoken in anger!

But when he said that, the other soldiers looked at each other for a moment, and one of them suddenly shouted, "I can't kill them up, and I can't kill them back, so I can surrender, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene changed.

The other soldiers looked at him in surprise, and then looked at Meng Lingdong who had just climbed up in the back.

"Ergou, don't say that!" a soldier nearby reminded.

"What nonsense did I say? I just want to live. Who among you doesn't want to live? Don't tell me about fighting the Japanese or not. I did fight the Japanese. I'm just lucky enough to have survived. Now I quit. I'm going to surrender!" The soldier shouted but did not forget to look at Meng Lingdong.

"I've said it before, I'm not a platoon leader anymore. If you think you can't die by surrendering, then you can just become a traitor." Meng Lingdong said coldly.

"Han, traitor?" The soldier who was clamoring to surrender was stunned for a moment, and the soldiers next to him were also stunned.

At this time, Meng Lingdong said that he would no longer be a platoon leader, nor did he stop others from surrendering, but he, as a "traitor", awakened a group of soldiers.

At the moment when the soldier shouted that he wanted to surrender, people's hearts were separated. They were not allowed to retreat. If they went forward, they would die. Perhaps surrendering to the Japanese devils as a traitor was really a way to survive.

But since Meng Lingdong mentioned the word "traitor", everyone can think that traitors will not have a good end. Besides, even if you really surrender to the Japanese army today, can you survive?

Now their regiment has received a strict order from the division to take down Houersai.

Even if you surrender to the Japanese army now, won't the Japanese army also put traitors in front as cannon fodder? Will they also put a board under you and worship you like a father?

This is the Japanese-occupied area. If you become a traitor, you don't have to fight. You can bully the common people and surround and kill the anti-Japanese forces. So it is a false proposition to say that you can survive by surrendering!

The cruel reality shattered the unrealistic fantasy of the soldier named Ergou. He squatted on the spot and started crying!

"Why don't you just shoot yourself? You're such a loser!" Meng Lingdong cursed angrily.

He also had complaints about being asked as a platoon leader to lead his platoon in a one-way attack on the Japanese army, so he said that he would not be the platoon leader who was now alone.

But he didn't expect that the situation here would become like this. Is it possible for him to not be an official?
"Keep going. It's better to kill a Japanese devil and make some money than to die of frustration! Why bother with our own people? If the Japanese devils didn't invade China, would we do this? The Japanese devils are the real enemies!" Meng Lingdong said.

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Although the old soldiers did not want to die, they thought that what Meng Lingdong said was correct. In the final analysis, wasn't it the Japanese invasion of China that caused these old soldiers in the barracks to end up in this situation?

"Go ahead, it's better to die fighting the Japanese than being killed by your own people!" A soldier also said. At this point, these soldiers picked up their guns and moved forward under the cover of the terrain.

Sure enough, after they were exposed to the view of the people below the mountain, no more grenades were fired upwards. The two grenades thrown earlier were exactly what urged them to attack.

"Ergou, I've thought of another trick that won't kill you!" Things had come to this point, and Meng Lingdong, who had been walking at the back, had no choice but to move forward. He called out to Ergou, who had just been clamoring to surrender.

"Platoon Leader Meng, don't tease me." Er Gou said without turning his head.

Now he went forward again, his whole attention focused on the front, of course, thinking about how he could not die.

"Really, I'm not kidding you!" Meng Lingdong said seriously.

"What do you have in mind?" Ergou asked.

"Don't you want to surrender? If you go out with a white flag, the Japanese devils will definitely not shoot at you." Meng Lingdong gave him advice.

After Meng Lingdong said this, the soldiers who were moving forward carefully, either lying or crawling, stopped moving and listened with their ears pricked up.

Er Gou didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "I'm not afraid of the Japs shooting me, I'm afraid of being shot from behind!"

After Ergou said this, even though everyone knew they were going to die in a tragic way, some people still laughed out loud. Anyway, this is what they are like now and they have accepted their fate. So instead of crying, they might as well die happily.

The fuss was over. Although Ergou said he was going to surrender to the Japanese army, he didn't go in the end. Now that he has calmed down, he realized that if he really dared to surrender to the Japanese army, there is no guarantee that someone behind him would shoot at him!

Now Meng Lingdong is talking about his desire to surrender, isn't that just teasing him? So he didn't make any effort at all!
And those soldiers naturally thought so too, otherwise they wouldn't laugh.

But who would have thought that Meng Lingdong would climb up from behind and said seriously: "I'm not kidding you. We're all going to die anyway. If you follow my trick, maybe you can survive!"

Everyone looked at Meng Lingdong, and seeing that Meng Lingdong looked serious, they realized that Meng Lingdong didn't seem to be joking.

"Come closer to me, I will tell you in detail." Meng Lingdong said.

No one knew what kind of brilliant idea Meng Lingdong had come up with. While he was discussing the strategy with the remaining soldiers, their battalion commander Zhu Weiyan was already preparing to launch a new attack.

This time it's not just a platoon, but an entire company that is ready to attack in an ambush position.

Although he couldn't figure out the exact number of casualties in the improvised company, Zhu Weiyan had already seen through the telescope that the remaining soldiers, namely Meng Lingdong and his men, were approaching the Japanese position.

There are still rocks where Meng Lingdong and his men are now to hide, but if they go another hundred or two hundred meters ahead there are mostly shrubs. Originally there were some sparse trees there, but they were cut down by the Japanese troops on the mountain. This was naturally for the convenience of shooting.

Zhu Weiyan followed Shang Zhen's advice and sent a company to consume the Japanese army.

According to Zhu Weiyan's observation, the Japanese soldiers on the mountain suffered at least fifty or sixty casualties from the firepower from the bottom of the mountain and the continuous attacks from the top of the mountain. The firepower of the Japanese soldiers shooting on the hillside was not as intensive as before.

So now he needs to take down the monkey pack in one go.

"Go tell Captain Zhang and the others that the situation has come to a critical moment and it's time to prepare to use their heavy machine guns." Zhu Weiyan said to his messenger.
