When it was almost dusk, a bright light finally appeared in the west, and then the sun actually came out.
There are still clouds in the sky, so under the cover of the clouds, the sky becomes beautiful.
In that place where there is no sound of gunfire and no activities between China and Japan, the puddles become the same color as the sky due to the sunlight, which also gives people a gorgeous psychedelic feeling.
"It would be great if there was no war. We could still eat pork stewed with sauerkraut, butchered pig vegetables, and dipped in pickles in our hometown in the Northeast." A senior military officer sighed in a low voice.
So the officers and soldiers surrounding him turned their attention to the north, where there was a distant hometown, where there was mother-in-law, there were Kudaizi, and there were soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and plains.
When I was a child, I dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword. But when I grew up and really left my hometown, I realized how beautiful my hometown was and that it was my root.
Everyone was immersed in that kind of longing, but soon the sound of gunfire not far away woke them up again.
One of the cannonballs missed and landed in a puddle not far from them that was originally as level as a mirror.
It was in the loud explosion that everyone realized that the so-called mirror-like beauty was actually filled with the blood of Northeastern officers and soldiers.
"Commander, let's go!" At this time, the senior officer's chief of staff advised.
So Wu Keyong, commander of the Northeast Army and the 67th Army, finally turned around and walked towards Songyuan County.
At this time, there were less than a hundred people surrounding him. A young soldier became the leader of these guards. He was Shang Zhen. Only because the original guard company commander Lei Liang was killed in battle, Shang Zhen could only take temporary orders.
Shang Zhen winked at the people around him, and some soldiers moved forward, but more of them followed behind Army Commander Wu Keyong.
Before this battle, Wu Keyong once said that if the battalion commander cannot be defeated, then the division and brigade commander will take over! If the division and brigade commander are gone, then he, the corps commander, will take over!
Before the commander personally charges into the battle, there is still a group of people who must come forward first, and these people are the commander's guards!
The reason why Shang Zhen signaled the soldiers to surround Commander Wu Keyong was of course because he was afraid of stray bullets flying over from the battlefield.
Just because Shang Zhen was focused on Wu Keyong, he did not notice that when his people followed Wu Keyong back, four people stayed behind. Those four people were Xiaodustpan, Hou Kanshan, Guan Tiedou and Qiu Bo
The four of them just lay there, watching Shang Zhen and the others protect Wu Keyong and leave.
But when Shang and the others really walked away, the four people exchanged glances with each other, stood up, and walked towards the front line with their waists bent.
The reason why the four of them wanted to stay was because Mr. Wang gave them a mission.
Mr. Wang asked them to go to the trench in front and try to find the box cannon they sent out, especially the twenty-gun gun owned by Shang Zhen.
There is an ancient Chinese saying in classical Chinese called "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools", but if you change it to the Northeastern people's saying, it is called "In war, you must have someone who can take advantage of you"!
Qiu Bo and the four of them walked very carefully, after all, the battle ahead was continuing.
They now believe what Wang Lao Mao said, sometimes life really depends on luck.
After Lei Liang's guard company went up, only about 20 people came back in the end, and if it was them who went up at that time, God knows how many people would be left back.
Precisely because the war was so cruel, those veterans who survived became anonymous after they retired from the army and entered peacetime.
They have experienced the most cruel life and death, and everything has become insignificant. What they cannot see is how many brothers died in front of them.
They will think that those brothers died for them, and they are just lucky to survive.
So they set the bottom line of their lives to just stay alive.
Qiu Bo and the four of them walked straight into the woods ahead.
When Lei Liang and his men rushed to the front line with the retreating officers and soldiers, they had been watching from behind. At least no soldiers were shot and fell before reaching the woods, so naturally they couldn't "pick them up" and send them out. box cannon.
And not long after the four of them entered the woods, they saw the dead officers and soldiers lying in the woods.
After all, people are adaptable. After seeing too many dead people, they become numb in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Qiu Bo and the four of them no longer paid attention to the death of Northeastern officers and soldiers like themselves. They just focused on looking for guns.
After a while, the three of them actually recovered five box cannons, and without exception, these five box cannons had no bullets in the chambers.
They tied the five box cannons together with leggings and Guan Tiedou carried them forward.
When they walked more than 30 meters further, they saw a foxhole in the woods. There were dozens of Northeastern soldiers hiding behind trees or hiding in the foxhole with accumulated water.
"Come up, Gaha?" a soldier asked in a low voice, and then they noticed the box cannons Guan Tiedou was carrying.
"How can we protect the commander without weapons? We came here to find the box cannon." Qiu Bo replied in a low voice, and that was all he could answer.
"Brothers, please help me look for him!" the soldier greeted, and then said to Qiu Bo, "You guys get down, the little devils across from you are very good at shooting. They are all specially designed to hit their heads!"
Of course Qiu Bo and the others knew that the Japanese army's marksmanship was accurate, so the three of them lay down, and the officers and soldiers began to look around to help them find guns.
"Thank you, brother, are you also in the security company?" Qiu Bo said to the soldier who took the initiative to talk.
"I'm not from the guard company. The guard company has almost suffered casualties, and those who are still alive have gone back." The soldier answered and then he looked at Qiu Bo and the others.
Qiu Bo did not react to this, but what Qiu Bo was thinking was that if the Japanese army started fighting at night again, there would probably not be a single one of the dozens of soldiers left in front of him!
After all, there was strength in numbers. In the end, the soldiers found about ten more box cannons for Zhou Bo and the others, and among them happened to be Shang Zhen's 20-gun.
The reason why it is said to be Shang Zhen's is just because Shang Zhen's has a 20-ring burst and can fire continuously. It is also called a speed machine.
Box cannons feed ammunition from the barrel, or use magazines to feed ammunition, or use the barrel to feed ammunition. For example, there is a type of box cannon called a big-bellied box, which means that the barrel of the gun is large enough to hold ammunition. Many, there is a type called a mirror box, which also means that the gun bore is very large, and the appearance of the gun bore is treated to be very smooth.
When Qiu Bo and the four of them saw that Shang Zhen's 20-ring gun was finally recovered, their faces showed joy.
At this time, Little Dustpan noticed that the soldiers' eyes had been staring at the ammunition bags hanging on their bodies intentionally or unintentionally.
"Are you out of bullets?" Little Dustpan asked just as they were about to leave.
"There are still some bullets. We found a few boxes of bullets, but the box cannon is quite useful in close combat." The soldier replied.
Qiu Bo and the four of them began to exchange colors. Although the soldier didn't say it clearly, they still guessed what the soldier was thinking.
…
When it was getting dark, Qiu Bo and the four of them finally returned to the county town.
"Are these just the ones you found?" Wang Lao Mao asked when he saw the 20-ring gun.
"Originally we found some, but the brothers in front needed it, so we kept them for the brothers in front. We also gave them all our bullets." Qiu Bo replied.
