It's getting dark, and the battle around Songjiang County is still going on.
Today is November 7th. The Sixty-seventh Army has been tasked with blocking the Japanese army in Songjiang for three days, and today happens to be the second day.
As far as the 67th Army is concerned, they must hold off the Japanese army for three days, creating conditions for the convoy of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops behind them. As for the Japanese Army, of course they hope to penetrate the 67th Army's defense line and encircle and annihilate the Chinese army. In the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area.
So even though it was getting dark, the Japanese army fired flares into the sky one after another and launched another night battle.
At this time, outside the Northeastern Army's defensive position in the southwest of Songjiang County, many Japanese corpses were lying in a mess.
Although the casualties of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army were greater than those of the Japanese army, they could not withstand the enemy. Since the combat base of our two sides was large, the casualties of the Japanese army were by no means small.
At this time, among the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, there was a man with his eyes open looking at the sky illuminated by flares in the distance.
He was dressed as a Japanese soldier, and his face was smeared with blood. He looked like a Japanese sergeant who had been shot dead.
But in reality? But he was a soldier in the 10th Division of the 67th Army, and his name was Qi Heng.
Until now, Qi Heng could not remember how many times his side had fought for positions with the Japanese army.
Next to him was the corpse of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army was attacking, his platoon leader directly fired the speed grenade, thus taking away himself and the attacking Japanese army.
In addition to the corpses of the Japanese army, there were also the corpses of the Northeast Army, whose companions were killed during a counterattack against the Japanese army.
The reason why he chose to lie in the middle of the Japanese army was because of the position behind him. There were only two of his companions left, and one was wounded.
There were too few people, but the commander above gave them an order not to retreat. He had to make a last-ditch effort against the Japanese army in this way!
Qi Heng was not worried about being accidentally injured by someone from his own side.
Of the 114 officers and soldiers in his company, including himself, there were only three people left in total. What's more, when he climbed out of the position in the dark, the remaining two companions knew about it.
After a blocking battle, the three of them no longer had any thoughts of surviving. There was really nothing left in their hearts except hatred.
By now, he had been lying among the corpses of these Japanese soldiers for some time.
He decided that when the Japanese army passed by him, you would launch a fatal attack on the Japanese army with grenades from behind.
So rather than saying that he is blocking here, it is better to say that he is more like a landmine that can explode at any time hidden among the dead Japanese soldiers!
It is said that when you are about to die, you need to take care of a few people to support you, and Qi Heng is no exception.
He even had a small idea. He hoped that the number of Japanese soldiers killed by throwing grenades would exceed the number of his own people killed by Japanese artillery in the trenches.
And in fact he did so.
During another Japanese attack just twenty minutes ago, he felt the Japanese invaders' big leather shoes stepping on his stomach.
At that time, he was still thinking, these Japanese are so uncouth, they can even trample on their own people!
But just when those Japanese soldiers passed by him and went to the trench in front. He slipped two grenades along the ground from behind.
Naturally, it was impossible for two grenades to kill all the dozen or so Japanese soldiers. However, with the timely firepower of the two companions in the trench, they successfully eliminated all the attacking Japanese soldiers outside the trench!
After wiping out that group of Japanese soldiers, he took advantage of the darkness to find a few grenades on the Japanese corpses, and he tucked those grenades under a Japanese corpse next to him.
Alas, he was hungry, and looking at the sky now, he felt like he was sweating.
I haven’t eaten for a whole day!
Who will bring him food? Who can cook for him? Even the people in the cooking squad have been killed.
While I was rummaging through another corpse for grenades, he was also trying to see if he could find some food on the Japanese soldier's body.
The result also disappointed him.
No, I still have to get some food. If I don't have any food, I'm afraid the Japanese will attack again and I won't even have the strength to throw grenades.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng subconsciously reached out and touched the Japanese corpse beside him.
He remembered that he had not touched the Japanese soldier's clothes, even if it proved that the Japanese soldier had brought a few cookies or candies.
Oh, right.
He heard that Japanese people like to eat dumplings.
He had never seen what Japanese rice balls looked like. He took it for granted that they were just like Northeastern people's rice dumplings.
That is to wrap dry rice or potato sauce with cabbage leaves or lettuce leaves, and then eat both vegetables and rice.
Originally, Qi Heng didn't have any hope this time.
But to his surprise, after he fumbled around for a while, he actually found something soft to the touch in one of the Japanese soldier's pockets.
He opened the soft wrapped thing and put it to his nose and smelled it. Fortunately, it was not frozen yet. He finally smelled the aroma of food that he had not seen for a long time. It turned out to be a ball of white rice, but it was thicker than him. His fist is still big!
All your wishes come true, all your wishes come true, the great fairies in my hometown in Northeast China bless you!
At this moment, Qi Heng became ecstatic.
He eagerly stuffed the white rice into his mouth, but just as the ball of rice reached his mouth, he heard a burst of "boom" and "boom" from the cannon in front of him.
Qi Heng instinctively stuffed the ball of white rice into his mouth, and then put his hand down.
He moved so fast that his cheeks puffed up in an instant.
And at this time, just where the "boom" and "boom" sounds were heard, several "meteors" flew into the sky, and then those "meteors" flying into the sky made a "bang bang" sound, and for a while In the meantime, it was already as bright as day near their trench!
The Japanese attack is about to begin again!
I'm trying to be sneaky (sneaky), I finally found something to eat, but you still make me unable to stop eating!
Qi Heng, lying on the wet ground, cursed in his heart.
His hunger was unbearable, but because he had stuffed it so eagerly, he became hasty and wasted his time. His mouth was already full of rice, and it was not easy to swallow it.
But now that the place is so bright, although the place where he is hiding is a little low, he is afraid that he is already in the sight of the Japanese army. Of course, he does not dare to poke the rice with his hands anymore, so he can only harden it down. Choking.
If you drink cold water in a hurry, you will choke, let alone white rice.
Qi Heng tried hard to control his emotions and not let himself swallow too hard, but despite this, he was still choked. Don't hiccup, the little devil is coming soon!
