Dense gunfire, artillery fire, and screams were intertwined together. Su Congwen bowed in the trench, his hand holding the gun did not tremble at all. His firm eyes only saw the enemy on the opposite side, and could not see anything else.
"Damn, these are idiots." Brother Zhang cursed from the side, "It's really endless."
They have been guarding this bridge for almost three days. The enemy has attacked more than a dozen times, large and small. The enemy is trying every means to destroy the bridge, and they must keep the bridge at all costs.
"Xiao Su, be careful." While dealing with the enemy, Brother Zhang did not forget to care about Su Congwen.
He was highly nervous, and blood oozed from the wound on his abdomen, but he didn't even frown and seemed to feel no pain.
"I know." Su Congwen spoke concisely and to the point.
"Company commander, the enemy's firepower has become more intense, and we can hardly withstand it anymore." In another trench, the deputy company commander loudly reported to the company commander.
Their company's combat strength currently only has more than thirty people left, and the rest of the survivors are wounded. Guns and ammunition are in short supply, but the enemy's firepower is getting fiercer. If this continues, they will not be able to hold on.
"We have to bear it even if we can't bear it." The company commander gritted his teeth and said, "We must complete the tasks assigned by us at all costs."
"I have received a telegram from the summit. Our reinforcements will be here tomorrow morning at the latest. You can give the order. Everyone, please hold on until the last minute. No one is allowed to fall behind!"
"Even if we have to fight with bayonets and fight the enemy with our bare hands, we must keep this bridge!"
"Also, Lao Wu must pay attention to the enemy's cannons. They must not let them find the opportunity to blow up the bridge. As soon as they find their cannons, shoot them with a bazooka!"
"clear!"
The deputy company commander turned around and left in a hurry, conveying the company commander's instructions.
After he left, the company commander's resolute face was frowned into a frown.
He sighed faintly, no matter what, he must withstand it, and nothing can go wrong!
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the gunfire gradually subsided, but no one relaxed their vigilance, because they knew that the enemy was nearby and would attack again at any time.
"Xiao Su, are you not injured?"
Brother Zhang asked Shen Congwen.
"It's okay." Su Congwen's voice was steady and slightly tired.
"It's okay." Brother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's rest for a while, maybe we'll call again later."
"Um."
The two of them sat in the ditch to rest, with deep fatigue between their brows. Su Congwen looked at his slightly trembling hands, and after a few seconds, he held them down expressionlessly.
The sun gradually sets, and the halo of dusk falls, passing through the gaps between the leaves, and falling into a group of light spots.
All the people in the company were crawling in the forest, like swift and agile leopards, with their eyes open and their muscles tense. The scouts were hiding on the branches, turning from time to time, holding telescopes to pay attention to the surrounding movements.
Within the circular field of vision, a flying bird suddenly appeared, from far to near.
The investigator frowned and his pupils suddenly dilated. No, that's not a bird, that's a plane!
"There are enemy planes, bombers are coming!"
"There are enemy planes, bombers are coming!"
"There are enemy planes, bombers are coming!"
He couldn't care about anything else and could only shout at the top of his voice, "Hurry up and get down! Hurry!"
"Take cover and lie down!"
The soldiers heard the sound and quickly moved to find bunkers. The roar of the bombers was getting closer and closer.
From the air, the people on the ground were like ants hiding in the woods, but the pilot on the plane quickly locked their positions. He looked at them coldly, suddenly showed an evil smile, and activated the control button. The bombs fell quickly, crashed to the ground, and exploded instantly, breaking trees, shaking the earth, and flying dust.
Screams, blood, mutilated limbs...
For an instant, extremely impactful images filled Su Congwen's vision. His eyes were red, and he cried out in pain as he looked at his comrades who had been injured by the explosion.
"help me……"
Just five meters away from him, a young soldier fell. His legs were bloody and bloody. He lay on the ground unable to move at all. His whole face was painful and twisted. He stretched out his hand towards Su Congwen. A pleading look on his face.
Su Congwen clenched his fists and his teeth chattered. He was the youngest soldier in their company, only nineteen years old this year.
"Brother Cong... Cong Wen, save me, I... I don't want to die." He spat out large mouthfuls of blood, his eyes began to blur, but he was still calling for help.
"Bang!" Another bomb exploded next to him. The young soldier lost his voice and lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Su Congwen looked at the distance between them, gritted his teeth, braved the gunfire, and climbed out of the trench.
"Xiao Su!" Brother Zhang, who was lying not far away, screamed, "Don't go!"
Su Congwen no longer cared so much. He hunched over and ran over quickly.
"A Xing. A Xing!" Su Congwen called the little soldier who fell on the ground, "Don't sleep, don't sleep!"
He touched Ah Xing's nose and found that he was not breathing.
Su Congwen's heart trembled, he closed his eyes and then opened them again. He dragged Ah Xing to the trench aside, leaving a long trail of blood, leaving a trail of blood.
"Damn Chinese people, go to hell! Hahahaha!"
After the ferocious laughter, more bombs fell, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the mountain.
Su Congwen dragged Ah Xing with some difficulty. He looked at the trench not far away and gritted his teeth even harder. There was a whistling sound in his ears. He looked up and saw a bomb falling straight down.
"Xiao Su!"
Brother Zhang's voice and the explosion sounded at the same time.
Su Congwen only felt that he was overwhelmed by a strong force, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a long time, maybe just a moment, Su Congwen woke up, but couldn't open his eyes. The dust from the explosion flew into his eyes. He could only shout in panic, "Brother Zhang, are you okay?" Bar?"
no answer.
"Brother Zhang?"
"I...I'm fine." Brother Zhang's voice was inaudible.
Su Congwen's heart trembled heavily. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and struggled to open them. The picture in front of him stimulated every nerve in him.
Brother Zhang was lying on the ground, his back was bloody and bloody, and his bones could almost be seen. Blood flowed from his abdomen and soaked into the soil. The gray dust turned reddish brown. He stared at Su Congwen, "Are you okay? ?”
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Su Congwen said incoherently, "Brother Zhang, stop talking! I'm looking for someone to save you, I'm looking for someone..."
"Xiao Su!" Brother Zhang grabbed his hand, and blood gushed out crazily. He coughed twice in pain, "Don't... don't move. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, okay, I won't move, you say, I listen, I listen to everything."
Su Congwen nodded wildly, tears kept pouring out, his hands were trembling, and he didn't dare to touch him.
