After the battle, the Qingshan Brigade suffered heavy losses, losing more than half of them, and was no longer able to launch an effective attack.

On the positions of the national army, the atmosphere was very heavy. The soldiers carried the corpses of their comrades on the battlefield, and some of them were incomplete, so they had no choice but to put the lost limbs with their own owners and carry them to the rear for burial.

Xiucai looked at these bloody corpses and kept gagging. But Shao Fei looked at it with firm eyes. Only by watching can you arouse the hatred in your heart, the anger in your heart, and the incomparably strong fighting spirit in your heart.

Shao Fei came to the open space where Zheng Hao sacrificed, and many soldiers of the national army were still looking for the lost limbs of their comrades.

At this time, Zheng Jun walked over, and behind him were two soldiers of the national army holding a pair of stretchers. Lying on the stretcher was Zheng Hao's body.

Shao Fei walked over to see Zheng Hao's last appearance, but unfortunately it backfired.

Zheng Hao's entire body was scorched by artillery fire, and he had long been unrecognizable. The only thing that can be identified is the captain's badge that is faintly visible on his body.

Shao Fei looked at Zheng Hao's body with red eyes, but the most shocking thing for Shao Fei was that Zheng Hao lost a leg that could not be found.

Zheng Jun patted Shao Fei and said with tears in his eyes: "Let's take a look at his last face." ”

Shao Fei kept staring at Zheng Hao's crippled lower body, and asked softly, "What about the legs?"

Zheng Jun turned his gaze to the side, kept blinking, and said in a low voice, "I can't find it." ”

Shao Fei ran to the side and kept digging the dirt on the ground. At this time, Shao Fei was expressionless, perhaps his grief and anger had reached the limit.

Zheng Jun hurriedly walked over and pulled down Shao Fei hard: "Don't be like this, I've found everything I should be looking for." ”

After Shao Fei was pulled, he took advantage of the situation and did not say a word on the ground.

Zheng Jun said: "In the morning, when you were eating, Zheng Hao looked for me. He told me that his life was earned. If it weren't for you Shao Fei, he and his brothers would have died on the artillery position of the devil last night. Now that he is alive and continues to kill devils, he is extremely pleased. ”

Shao Fei still didn't say a word, and sat on the ground silently.

After Zheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, he continued: "Zheng Hao finally told me that although he has not known you for a long time, he knows that you are a very affectionate person, and it is the greatest honor in his life to know you. ”

|“ Me too,"

Shao Fei said in a low voice, then looked up at the sky and let out a long breath to calm his mind.

Soon, Shao Fei stood up and asked calmly, "How many more people do we have?" ”

Zheng Jun replied, "More than seven hundred." Most of them died on aircraft and ground artillery fire. ”

Shao Fei asked again, "Is Zheng Hao's gun still there?" ”

"Yes."

After Zheng Jun finished speaking, he turned around and signaled, and a soldier took Zheng Hao's Czech submachine gun.

Shao Fei looked at the gun full of black dust in front of him and said, "Can you send it to me?" I want to use this gun to kill more devils to comfort Zheng Hao's spirit in the sky. ”

"Yes" Zheng Jun resolutely agreed to Shao Fei, and then said: "When cleaning the battlefield, in addition to this one, there are twelve that are in good condition. ”

Zheng Jun sighed as he spoke, and said to Shao Fei: "Maybe this is the will of heaven, there are just 13 of you, I will send them to you together, I hope you will inherit their will, carry their souls in the gun, and take it to kill more devils!" ”

"Hmm," Shao Fei nodded.

At noon, after the Aoyama Brigade withdrew, it was unable to make an effective attack.

What they can do now is to wait for reinforcements from Yamazaki's brigade, and then wipe out the national troops on the position in one fell swoop and continue to advance westward.

"Qingshan-kun, I heard that your brigade is trapped here by a small regiment. I'm here to reinforce you, haha. ”

Yamazaki's first sentence when he entered the command camp was to count down Aoyama Daisa, and there was a feeling of schadenfreude.

Aoyama was not willing to be counted down like this, so he pretended to be calm, and said to Yamazaki: "The other party is very tricky, much stronger than the first company of the Dirt Eight Road." Ha ha. ”

Aoyama alludes to the annihilation of a squadron of Yamazaki by Shao Fei and them.

"What did you say?"

Yamazaki showed displeasure, suddenly smiled again, and said, "In the afternoon, you will drink tea on the side, rest and rest, and you will see how I destroy them." ”

Yamazaki snorted, turned and left the command tent, followed by Hidehiko Yanagi.

Yamazaki returned to his command tent, where all the combat officers were waiting for Yamazaki.

Yamazaki returned to his command position and said to the group, "After lunch, we will attack the forward position. After the morning battle, the Chinese army has already suffered heavy losses, and we will annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”

"Hey!"

All the officers bowed their heads and shouted together, but Yanagi stood still.

Yamazaki continued, "Use the human shield we caught in the morning first. ”

After hearing this, Hidehiko Yanagi walked out alone.

"Yanagi-kun, where are you going? I haven't assigned a combat mission yet. ”

Yamazaki stopped Yanagi, who stood in place, turned his head slightly and turned his back to Yamazaki and said, "This tactic of yours is very shameful, and I want to go back." ”

"What!?"

Yamazaki was very surprised when Yanagi said such words, so he walked over, faced Yanagi, and said righteously: "Imperial soldiers, only victory can bring honor. For the sake of victory, we will do whatever it takes, what is the point of a few hundred chinas!? ”

Hidehiko Yanagi disagreed, and replied with a soft "hum": "I am a soldier, but I am also a samurai. As the eldest son of the Yanagi family, doing such a despicable thing can only bring shame on my family. ”

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he walked out of the command camp directly.

Yamazaki is a big sa, but there is nothing he can do about Yanagi. After all, Yanagi was born from a famous nobleman, but he was born a commoner. In Japan, this sense of hierarchy is very strong.

Hidehiko Yagyu didn't like the war, he didn't like to be a soldier, he preferred to be a samurai. Only the strong will excite themselves and call themselves to fight.

After Liu Sheng left, he did not return to Ping County because he had doubts in his heart. A brigade could not fight like this even without the support of infantry artillery.

After coming to China for such a long time, the Chinese army was far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of equipment, tactics, and soldiers, and it was often defeated in the first battle.

What worries Yanagi the most is the bombing of the artillery position last night, and that kind of tactic is a special operation method that he is familiar with. He was trained in this way when he was studying in Germany.

At this time, Yanagi began to be curious about the national army troops in front, so he decided not to return to Pingxian first, he wanted to see what kind of army it was.

So Yanagi returned to his tent, changed into his military uniform, put on his proud white samurai suit, and went alone to the high ground to observe the battle.

Yanagi came to the northern slope of the mountain, which was very close to the battlefield, but the artillery fire could not reach it. The most important thing is that you can see the situation of the next life. Yanagi spread out a sheet, sat on it, put the katana in one piece, and waited quietly.
