Baiyun Mountain.
The morning glow reflects the red mountains with cascading ravines.
The roar of airplanes was heard in the sky again.
I had been vigilant all night to prevent the enemy from attacking at night, but the enemy did not attack.
It seems that the attack should be launched again under the bombing of planes during the day...
The Japanese ground troops did not attack. The exhausted soldiers began to crawl into the cave behind Baiyun Temple, fell down and fell asleep immediately.
You can't join in the excitement of plane bombing, so stay away as much as possible...
The headquarters was set up in a cave, and the sentry ran to the entrance: "Report, the Japanese plane is coming again!"
The deputy division commander frowned: "Leave the observation post on guard and let the brothers go into the bunker to drink some water and rest... Also, as long as the Japanese infantry doesn't attack, don't disturb the division commander!"
Strangely, the Japanese bombers did not drop bombs.
The dropped leaflets were flying all over the sky.
Another sentry ran into the cave: "Report, there are strange movements of the Shannan Japanese outside the encirclement. It seems that they have withdrawn from the south..."
"Ignore him, the little devil is playing the trick of surrounding three buildings again..." The deputy division commander didn't even raise his head.
The chief of staff next to him nodded: "The little devil came to Guiguzi's hometown to play the Thirty-Six Strategies. He clearly wanted us to go down the mountain and attack..."
The moans and screams of the wounded soldiers in the cave made the people at the headquarters a little troubled.
The deputy division commander's tired face was a little pale: "There is no shortage of food and ammunition on the mountain, but there is a shortage of water. If it rains, there will be no problem in persisting on the mountain for half a year..."
"Yes, it doesn't rain all year long. Just relying on the brothers to fetch water from the mountainside in the middle of the night cannot solve the problem of feeding more than a thousand of our brothers."
The deputy division commander made a decision: "Since the little devil has given way to the south, we will take this opportunity to arrange for the reconnaissance company to go down the mountain and bring more water bottles...reserve the water first!"
Those who died, those who were wounded, those who surrendered, those who fled... Of the more than 6,000 troops, only a thousand soldiers were left.
The reconnaissance company is not the main combat force. After successive battles, there are still more than 40 left, and the survival rate is much higher than other combat units.
There are machine guns and mortars at the back to provide fire support at any time, just to get some water, and we are not afraid of the tricks of the little Japanese who retreat from the position.
More than forty people formed a long skirmish line and moved down the mountain.
In fact... there is no difference at all between a cat and a cat-waisted one.
In the past, the little devils would have been sparsely shooting cold shots on the mountain, but today, the mountain was peaceful.
The company commander who led the team looked down the mountain to the left and right, but did not see a single Japanese or puppet soldier at all.
He shook his head, thinking that if something went wrong, he would be a monster. He only hoped that he could still remain so quiet when he reached the creek at the foot of the mountain.
As for whether he could complete this water fetching mission, he was not sure.
Just like large animals always hide near water sources to play sneak attacks, perhaps, from now on, the period before arriving at the water source will be the last time some brothers from the reconnaissance company live in the world.
Subconsciously sticking to the rocks on the mountain wall, maybe this can avoid the bullets fired accurately by the little devil.
No one wants to die...but sooner or later you have to take bullets...
Under the contradictory mood, the morale of the team will be as low as possible.
The group of people almost all thought so, going down the mountain as slowly as a snail...
Count how many minutes you can live...
The mountains are so calm that it makes your heart palpitate.
I don’t know when the rifles and light machine guns fired by the little devils will sound...
I don’t know if the little devil’s infantry cannon will go off, or if the grenade will fire randomly...
Maybe we will meet the little Japanese bayonet...
Maybe the little devil will poison the water source... Although it is not easy to play tricks in living water, who can know?
Everything is possible.
The team continued walking like ants toward the creek at the foot of the mountain.
The bushes on both sides of the mountain road are not lush.
No one knew if there were any Japs, let alone where the Japs were ambushing them.
The bushes were strewn with tiny spots of sunlight that shone from the east and were torn into tiny pieces.
There are insects chirping in the thorn bushes, and birds chirping in the forest...
However, the mountain stream seemed eerily silent.
The footsteps of the soldiers seemed particularly loud.
Occasionally kicked gravel rolled down the cliff...
The sparse bushes in the distance are swaying in the mountain wind...
Everyone felt that something in those bushes was always watching their group.
Perhaps they were walking towards the end of life step by step, and they didn’t know how long they had walked. The body was sweating. The team finally saw the thin mountain spring. The mountain spring did not flow into a stream. After flowing out for a distance from the ground, it drilled into There was no trace behind the crack in the stone.
As the terrain lowers, the originally three-dimensional view seems to slowly turn into a flat surface.
The surrounding bushes are full of insects and birds, and the rugged mountain road is still rugged at the end.
The earth lies quietly in the sun.
In the waist-high bushes, the body of a fallen brother came into view.
No chance to bury before going up the mountain.
There are many small animals in the mountains. No one cares whether the corpses are missing something.
Maybe, after a while, I will lie next to that brother...
You can occasionally see bullet casings on the ground...
I noticed that the mountain path at my feet was paved with rocks. Between the gaps between the rocks, clumps of wild grass grew swaying in the mountain wind.
Human life is like grass...
"Why..."
A voice suddenly came from behind a certain stone on the opposite side.
The soldiers immediately moved to both sides of the mountain road to avoid it.
The leading soldier jumped behind the nearby stone with his gun in hand and began to look for the source of the sound.
At this moment, the soldiers behind did not panic, and the first thought in their hearts was actually relief.
The pressure was too much, and I finally had a reason to hide on the spot.
Comfort yourself in your heart, now you finally have a reason to stop moving forward.
No shots were fired.
There are no screams or wails after a brother is shot.
A few more minutes to live.
No one answered.
The sounds of insects and birds all around seemed to have disappeared.
The gunshot deep in my memory never appeared.
desolate.
The sun shines on my back, and I can't feel the slightest warmth.
After the relief, the atmosphere slowly became tense again.
Even become scary.
boom...
A certain soldier couldn't stand the pressure and finally fired.
No one blamed him, no officers scolded him...
It doesn't matter anymore.
The military uniform is an earthy gray-blue color that can still be seen with gunpowder smoke and hardened blood stains stained with dust.
The expected gunshot still didn't come.
The lead soldier lay on the stone and yelled angrily: "If you dare, shoot, I'm a son of a bitch if I'm afraid of death..."
boom...
After saying that, he fired another shot into the bushes.
Finally a voice came from the other party: "Can you please stop shooting?"
It's a puppet army! Maybe it's still the same robe as it used to be.
The leading soldier was angry and said incoherently: "I am a soldier just to shoot. Why do you ask me not to shoot? I will shoot you... I will kill you, you eggless bastard..."
boom...
"I have something to say..."
"Then you keep talking and I keep fighting..."
"Taijun said that you are very brave and are real soldiers worthy of admiration. The Imperial Army has a large number, so I have decided to let you live. When you are ready again, we will fight to the death!"
"You're talking shit about your mother, and you're giving me a lot of money. I want to wait for your fathers to come down from the mountain and then do a sneak attack..."
"Don't worry about this, the imperial army will do whatever it says..."
"Yes, the little devil says one is one, and two is two..."
"Can you please stop carrying me?"
"Okay...I won't argue, I will raise the gun..." The soldier showed a ferocious expression, carefully identified the source of the sound, and suddenly pulled the trigger.
boom...
After firing and emptying the magazine, there was no response from the other side.
The leading soldier began to load bullets into the gun: "I'm not going to bullshit you, but let me tell you, did this shot hit you?"
"Oh, you bastard, the dust got into your grandpa's eyes..."
The soldiers hiding behind were physically alert and mentally numb...
Just wait for the other side to launch an attack.
It seemed that the enemy was really hiding at the water source, and it was clear that he wanted to wait for his group to reach the water source before shooting them.
To get water, you have to die.
Basically no solution.
The voice on the other side continued: "Brother, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the south to have a look. I swear in the name of the Supreme Lord that there is absolutely no imperial army or imperial association army within a hundred miles of the south!"
"Then you are not human?"
The person who spoke was suddenly at a loss for words: "Fuck your mother, believe it or not, my words have been brought to you, now take the security team away..."
Under the sun, there was movement in the bushes about half a person's height a hundred meters away.
After a while, three hundred meters away, large-brimmed hats of puppet soldiers appeared one after another.
The reconnaissance company commander looked at the leaving puppet troops in the field of view of the telescope: "First platoon, follow immediately. Second platoon spread out in pairs to search around and set up a warning... Others get water..."
About thirty or so puppet troops actually moved further west.
There are a lot of people in this security class...
After walking some distance, the puppet troops turned north.
There is a village to the north, which is the Japanese headquarters.
There is no need for reconnaissance at all. You can see clearly with a telescope on the top of the mountain.
The sky without gunpowder smoke has turned into a light blue...
