As far as the eye can see, a huge fireball rises into the sky, and the light produced by the explosion shines like daylight for miles around.
boom--!
An earth-shaking loud noise pierced the night sky.
Then there were fierce explosions, and pieces of soil and rubble were thrown into the air. Several human-shaped objects could be vaguely seen flying in the air, and then a large number of stones fell like a meteor shower.
The shock wave swept across like ripples. The four people hiding in the trench lay on the ground, not daring to raise their heads for a long time, for fear that they would be blown away by the violent shock wave accidentally.
After a moment, Shen Chunliang raised his head, shook his head, shook off the dirt scattered on his head, took out his binoculars, and looked towards the explosion area.
In the telescope, the original neat arsenal had disappeared, replaced by a devastated and dilapidated place. Warehouses, barracks, kennels, and Japanese soldiers had all disappeared without a trace.
Seeing such a scene, Shen Chunliang felt scared for a while, thinking that I was carrying this kind of thing just now, lying under the car and feeling it in.
If this had exploded halfway, I'm afraid not even the dregs would be found now.
"Are the Japanese bombs so powerful?" Shen Chunliang asked.
"Impossible. If the enemy's explosives are so powerful, then let's just drop a few big bombs from the plane and our whole battalion will be scrapped. By the way, Liangzi, where did you put the bomb?"
Shen Chunliang held his chin and thought about it, that was indeed what happened. Then he thought about the scene when the bomb was planted, "I didn't have time to take a closer look, but it was hidden under several boxes of gunpowder." Shen Chunliang said.
"A few boxes, dozens of boxes, right? With this power, a few tons of gunpowder cannot explode like this."
"It was either a foreign language or a bird's text. I didn't understand it either. I just opened the lid and took a look. When I saw it was gunpowder, I stuffed it underneath."
After listening to Shen Chunliang's words, Dong Jinbao raised his thumb, "Liangzi, awesome! I didn't expect you to play with gunpowder better than me. If I had known that this was the case inside, I would have followed you in. Maybe the power of the explosion would be It can be bigger.”
"Come on, you're just a piece of shit. If you lie under the car, you won't have to go very far. You'll have to wear off a layer of your butt. If you don't lose five kilograms, you'll lose three kilograms." Ergouzi hit him mercilessly. Dong Jinbao's obscenity.
Dong Jinbao was disdainful. He was the one who made the explosives anyway. Based on this alone, he could brag about it for the rest of his life.
After Tu Hanqing looked through the telescope, he asked: "Should we ambush or fight?"
"Stop fighting, run away quickly. Such a big movement may alarm the Japanese in several surrounding counties. If we run too late, we may not be able to get back. In this case, the task assigned to us by the regiment leader It should be considered a complete success.”
Dong Jinbao shook his head. He really wanted to see such a beautiful scene for a while, but unfortunately the situation did not allow it.
Just as a few people were about to leave, Dong Jinbao suddenly stopped in front of a big tree, "What kind of big noise did we make? Let's leave a name!"
"If you want to keep it to yourself, don't take me with you!" Shen Chunliang is not very public and has the kind of character that doesn't leave a name for good deeds.
"How about you help me think of a powerful nickname?" Dong Jinbao asked.
"Big-bellied Grasshopper!" Ergouzi answered quickly.
"I'm not good at it. Well, let's call him Bomb Maniac] Come on, it's as simple and crude as a bomb."
"You can call us whatever you want, hurry up and get it done, we'll withdraw as soon as it's done!" Shen Chunliang urged, because time is tight and the Japanese will come to support at any time.
"You bitch, come and do me a favor. Help me hang the bark of this tree."
Tu Hanqing didn't waste any time. He pulled out his dagger and started to plucking the bark of the tree. "What do you plan to carve?"
"Explosion is art, and the new bomb maniac Dong Jinbao is here to visit."
.
Duck dock.
The first rays of dawn shone on a trench stained red with blood.
Seeing this ray of sunshine, Shi Zhijian, who had barely slept a wink all night, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Got through it, it’s dawn!
Although the Eighth Route Army is good at fighting at night, it is also afraid of fighting at night, especially the dark night when it is almost impossible to see.
Night blindness has also been a problem that has troubled the Eighth Route Army for many years.
Due to long-term lack of food and malnutrition, many soldiers suffered from night blindness.
The so-called night blindness literally means that when it gets dark, you can't see anything clearly, because this also caused a lot of non-combat casualties for the second army.
Kurosawa's steady style of play almost gave the second battalion no chance to fight again, which also caused the second battalion to suffer a lot.
And I don’t know where this kid learned his skills. He was able to carry out sneak attacks at night. Fortunately, the kid was not very familiar with night attacks and stepped on the mines laid by the second company, otherwise the position would have been almost lost.
After that sneak attack, Shi Zhijian barely slept at night.
After counting the number of people, there were more than 260 people, and everyone was injured.
The most critical thing is the ammunition, which can no longer last a day.
He took out the telescope with only one tube left and looked at the Japanese position. It seemed that it was quite stable and there was no movement.
Take out a breath and arrange a few important firepower points.
The heavy machine gun was gone, and it was damaged by the Japanese's 92-gun.
Touching the only heavy machine gun in the entire regiment, Shi Zhijian felt heartbroken.
Hope it can be fixed!
After a round of inspection, I took out half of the steamed buns in my arms and wiped them all out in two gulps. I drank another sip of cold water to replenish my strength.
The communications soldier trotted up to Shi Zhijian with a sunny smile on his face.
When Shi Zhijian saw his virtue, he quickly asked: "What a good thing, please tell me!"
"Report, the regiment leader said that fifty soldiers will be sent for reinforcements later!"
"The leader is so generous? Are there still so many idle people in the group?"
"The lockdown has been lifted. They are the first batch of quarantined soldiers. Now they have been released. There will be another batch tomorrow, and there will be more of that batch." The communications soldier said excitedly.
Shi Zhijian clenched his fists and was overjoyed. Although the soldiers who were isolated were from the third battalion and were not the main force, there were many veterans. With the participation of these veterans, Shi Zhijian felt that he could hold on for two more days.
The sun was rising, shining warmly on the body, making people feel sleepy. Shi Zhijian took out a few cigarettes and handed them to the communications soldier, "Give them to the brothers. Each of them takes a puff to refresh himself, and then take turns to squint for a while."
The communications soldier left, and Shi Zhijian began to patrol the front line again. The soldiers could take turns to take a nap, but he, the battalion commander, did not have this right. He had to stay awake at all times and be ready to command the battle.
"Whoosh!"
"boom!"
Several mortars flew over and landed on a fake firepower point.
"Damn, you son of a bitch, don't you want money for these shells?" Shi Zhijian cursed, and then continued to patrol.
Artillery shells fell on the position from time to time, sparsely and weakly, as if they were testing.
The Second Battalion has become accustomed to it in the past few days. If you want to fire artillery, go ahead. I have dug the fortifications well, and your shells are basically ineffective against me. If you are not afraid of the consumption, go ahead.
It was past ten o'clock, and Shi Zhijian felt sleepy. He staggered over after walking a few steps. The orderly soldier beside him quickly reached out to help him, "Batalion Commander, take a rest. You haven't slept for two days."
He took out his monocular telescope again and observed the enemy's situation. After confirming that the Japanese and puppet troops did not make any big moves, he said to the messenger: "I'll squint and remember to call me in half an hour." Shi Zhijian gave instructions. , and fell asleep leaning against the trench.
I don't know how long it took, Shi Zhijian shivered, then quickly woke up, raised his wrist and looked at the time, 11:03
Shi Zhijian, who had just woken up, immediately yelled at the messenger next to him, "Xiao Zhao! Why the hell didn't you call me? Isn't half an hour too early?"
Xiao Zhao, a communications soldier, said aggrievedly: "Battalion Commander, there is indeed no movement in the enemy's position!"
"Are you the battalion commander, or am I the battalion commander? You must understand that you will be the battalion commander." After saying that, he took out his binoculars and looked at the enemy's position.
After looking at it for a while, it seemed that it was still the same as before, with no changes.
Looking at the communications soldier who lowered his head and said nothing, Shi Zhijian also knew that he had lost his temper just now, "Okay, I won't follow suit again. An order is an order, and no discount is allowed. The battlefield is changing rapidly. Maybe you missed the opportunity because of your soft heart!"
"yes!"
"Go and see what's going on at the First Battalion. The Japs here have been quiet for too long. I'm afraid they are holding back some bad tricks."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao, the messenger, agreed and went to contact the First Battalion.
The first battalion's position is about five kilometers away from the second battalion, which is not far, but due to the terrain, the pressure there is much less than that of the second battalion.
But if Kurosawa concentrated his forces, even one battalion would not be able to bear it.
Time passed bit by bit, and the Japanese on the opposite side began to shrink their formation and faintly began to move their front line back.
Is this a withdrawal?
Or should we transfer our troops to fight a battalion?
The Japanese's unusual actions temporarily confused Shi Zhijian.
Pass down the order to cheer up the whole battalion and guard against the Japanese tricks.
After a while, I found that the Japanese front line was really moving back, and judging from the arrangement of the troops, was this to defend the first battalion from charging?
It shouldn't be. Kurosawa just replenished the strength of a squadron yesterday. Now he is at an advantage in every aspect. He shouldn't be so cautious.
After a while, the messenger came back, "Report!"
"Tell me, what's going on over there in the First Battalion?"
"The first battalion repelled a Japanese charge in the morning, and then there was no movement."
It seems to be similar to the situation here.
It was past noon, and the Japanese side was still extremely quiet, and all the heavy weapons hidden in the bunkers had been evacuated from the battlefield.
Are you guys going to withdraw?
Shi Zhijian rubbed his eyes and confirmed again.
That's right!
No matter how you look at it, the Japanese are about to retreat.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, he sent a few clever soldiers to touch over to check the specific situation of the Japanese.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese and puppet troops had all evacuated their positions, leaving an empty area.
At this point, the battle at Duck dock comes to an end, and Kurosawa returns home disgraced because his hometown was stolen.
