A young soldier saw that he was seriously injured and could no longer escape the pursuit of the Japanese army.
He felt like a rabbit that had been teased by hunting dogs, and in the end, for the sake of his own dignity and not to harm his brothers, he shot himself with a gun.
People, sometimes it is better to live than die.
People, sometimes life is worse than death.
People sometimes would rather sacrifice their lives for the sake of their own dignity.
So Huzi chose to commit suicide.
Suddenly, Shang Zhen and the others lost two brothers one after another, and everyone felt sad.
But everything is for the sake of survival, so what can they do?
Eventually everyone took action, bayonets and hands. A shallow pit was dug in the clearing in the forest and Erhanzi was buried in it. There was a small tomb in the forest.
"I'm sorry, you fool, you are so big, we can only dig a small hole for you." Qian Chuan'er cried.
As Qian Chuan'er cried, Shang Zhen and the others looked up and out of the woods again.
Although they could not see his condition outside due to the cover of the woods this time, they knew that another body of one of their brothers was left outside the woods.
Of course it's Hu Zi.
Huzi's situation was even more tragic than Erhanzi's, because Shang Zhen and the others had no conditions to rush out and bury Huzi.
Therefore, Huzi didn't even have a shallow pit to bury himself in.
"I'm sorry, stupid brother, it's all my fault. It's my fault. You have to rush forward to grab some cannon, or I have to let you set up the machine gun, otherwise you won't die." Little Dustpan He also cried, and he knelt directly in front of Erhanzi's small grave.
Little Dustpan blamed himself because he felt Erhanzi's death had a great relationship with him.
But when he was about to cry, Shang Zhen interrupted him: "Okay, we will definitely avenge Erhanzi and Huzi!"
Shang Zhen's face was very serious, even a little blue. This was the first time the soldiers saw Shang Zhen like this.
After Shang Zhen said this, he turned around and walked in the other direction of the woods.
The soldiers behind him looked at each other in confusion, but it was Old Man Wang who said: "When a person dies, there is no point in crying. How can revenge be real?"
Then Mr. Wang turned around and chased Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen knew that now was not the time for him to be soft-hearted.
Will he feel better after Erhanzi and Huzi are killed in battle? But after all, he has to consider the living people.
At this moment, he couldn't describe his feelings, and only at this moment did he understand how difficult it is to be a commander. It really makes sense to be kind and not to command troops.
In order to relieve this psychological pressure, he could only leave the crowd temporarily and try to use his wandering mind to relieve his inner depression.
In an era when human life was like grass, when we saw dead people, we saw more chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs than in peacetime, and all of this was caused by the Japanese invaders.
They always want to take revenge on the fool Huzi and Wang Zhuang, but what kind of method should they take to take revenge?
The best way is of course to eliminate the Japanese army who plotted against Huzi and Erhanzi.
But this is easier said than done.
If people like myself keep fighting, we should be able to kill more Japanese devils.
However, it is simply impossible to find the direct murderers of Huzi and Erhanzi, so this debt can only be placed on all Japanese invaders.
Shang Zhen was thinking about everything, but how long could he think about it? He soon reached the other edge of the woods.
Looking out this time, there were no woods after all, which meant that the Japanese army was unlikely to be lurking here.
Correspondingly, on the road a few hundred meters away, there was still a large group of officers and soldiers retreating. They were still like dragons, with no head in front and no tail behind.
At this time, Shang Zhen felt like he was in a dream.
In order to stop the Japanese army, the commander of the Sixty-seventh Army, Wu Keyong, put the entire Sixty-seventh Army inside, but the hundreds of thousands of troops who were retreating were completely ignorant.
Just now, my small group killed two more brothers in order to fight off the Japanese harassment, but the large troops were still completely ignorant, as if everyone was concentrating on escaping, as if the previous battle on the roadside had nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter at all!
Can such a team, such a team that now seems to have lost its fighting spirit, like a piece of loose sand that only takes shape when you reach out and will slip through your fingers when you let go, can still win the battle?
Although it is said that his brother's death was because he killed the enemy for the country and could not be regarded as an injustice, this battle was ultimately unfair!
Shang Zhen has always been a person who can afford to take things on and let them go, but this time he couldn't help but feel discouraged because of the sacrifices of Erganzi and Huzi.
He used this wandering mind to divert his emotions, but in this situation, how much time did he have? The edge of the woods has been reached, what next? He must come up with an idea, because there are more brothers behind him, and they are waiting for his idea!
"Are we going to avenge Erhanzi and Huzi? Then shall we return to the 67th Army?" Wang Lao Mao arrived from behind.
Shang Zhen didn't say a word. He stood on the edge of the woods and still looked at the long dragon-like troops in the distance, or the defeated army.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered what he had said to Chu Tian when he was retreating from Songjiang County and about to get on the highway.
What reason do you have to complain that others are defeated? How do you know that they have never fought bloody battles? How do you know that he didn't have more brothers killed in battle?
Thinking of this, Shang Zhen's fighting spirit slowly increased.
After a while, he finally said: "Commander Wu asked us to destroy this group of Japanese devils. We have not completed the task yet."
"Okay, then let's discuss how we can kill these Japanese devils.
We can't let them follow us like a tail, otherwise we will not be the only two brothers who are plotted by them. "Old Mao Wang said, obviously he has already thought about it.
After all, Mr. Wang is old and a veteran. He must have seen and experienced more than himself. He doesn't know how many of his brothers have been killed in battle, Shang Zhen thought again.
"Are they following us like they're leaning on their tails? I think they just need to hide where they are." At this time, Qiu Bo also joined in.
"Huh?" Shang Zhen looked at Qiu Bo.
Qiu Bo's words finally brought Shang Zhen's wandering thoughts back together.
At this moment, Shang Zhen suddenly realized that Qiu Bo was right!
The Japanese army did not need to follow the large troops on the highway to harass them.
The reason is that there are still a lot of Chinese troops on the road, and it looks like it will take some time.
So why did this family of Japanese soldiers follow the large army like them? They can just wait where they are. When they feel that there is no danger, they will appear in the dark like a poisonous snake again and spit out the scarlet snake core at the Chinese troops!
So where was the best place for the Japanese to launch an attack on the troops on the road? Shang Zhen pondered again.
The terrain here is flat and even somewhat low-lying. There were even bright white bubbles in the low-lying areas.
In a short period of time, it was impossible for the Japanese army to conduct a roundabout attack from both sides of the highway because conditions did not allow it.
Therefore, the most ideal place for the Japanese army to harass the Chinese army on the highway is of course the woods where they had previously fought with the Japanese army.
It was not far or close to the highway. The Japanese army could take advantage of their accurate shooting while keeping a certain distance from the Chinese army. After the harassment was completed, they could escape again.
"We won't leave this forest, so we'll wait here for those little devils!" Shang Zhen said loudly.
His voice was so high that he was secretly surprised when the words came out!
