Chapter 1164: Survival
The devil soldiers stopped the attack, and their sappers shoveled up a large canopy of dirt and began to build field fortifications in their place.
"What do you want to do?"
The deputy commander of the second battalion, Hua Gou, had already planned to fight desperately with the little devil, but now they saw that the little devil did not attack when he had an absolute advantage, but built fortifications on the spot, which made them all puzzled.
"They must be trying to trap us when they build the fortifications." Seeing that the little devils outside the encirclement were not idle, the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou judged.
"It's really evil, it's not that the little devil can't beat us, why stop the attack and besiege instead." Some brothers vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"No matter what he does, I wish they didn't attack, we can live for a few more hours, while we can still breathe, cherish the last bit of time in this life."
Now that they are surrounded by devils, the brothers know in their hearts that the hope of breaking through is very slim, so they are also very pessimistic in their words.
"Don't say anything discouraged, the battalion commander may be trying to save us now, as long as we can survive, say we can't live." There were also brothers who objected.
"Okay, don't fight if you save some effort, send a few more brothers to keep an eye on some devils, what about the little devils, don't be Ming Xiu Plank Road Dark Chen Cang, want to sneak attack us when we relax our guard." The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou didn't think that the little devils were so merciful and would spare them.
The little devil didn't attack, and the besieged flower dog confronted the little devil from a distance of several hundred meters, and neither side took the initiative to attack, and the battlefield was quiet for a while.
The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou thought that as long as they could hold out until dark, their chances of breaking through would be much greater, and he said that he couldn't rush out, so he ordered the brothers to conserve their strength and rest, and didn't bother to care about the little devils who were close at hand.
But what they don't know is that the little devils are even more insidious than they imagined, and in fact they have used them as bait, fishing for the surrounding guerrillas and then eliminating them one by one.
Before they could get dark, a dense burst of gunfire rang out in the southwest direction, and after hearing the gunshots, the brothers who were resting and replenishing their strength to prepare for the night breakout all got up.
"It's the southwest direction, it must be the battalion commander who came to save us!"
After hearing the gunshots, the brothers who were surrounded by devils became excited, like drowning people grasping at the straw that saved their lives.
"Everyone is ready to fight! As soon as it gets dark, break through to the southwest and join the battalion commander! ”
The deputy battalion commander Hua Gou was also excited, and it seemed that the battalion commander Wu Changqing had not abandoned them.
Because of the distance, the brothers could not see the fighting in the distance, but heard the constant sound of gunfire, interspersed with explosions.
The brothers listened silently to the firefight in the distance, praying in their hearts that the rescue troops would tear a hole in the way so that they could rush out.
"It's near, it's near."
As the sound of the firefight drew closer, the brothers were excited, and they knew that their hopes of survival were greater.
But soon the brethren became strange, for after only a few moments the sound of gunfire, which had been close, went away into the distance, and at last it was not heard.
"How did you go?"
The brothers all looked at each other, and the distant gunfire took away their hope of survival, and their hearts sank.
"It must be that the strength of the little devils is too strong, the battalion commander can't rush over, they went to move the rescue soldiers." Some brothers comforted themselves.
"Maybe it's the battalion commander's voice, trying to lure the little devil away."
......
Although the distant gunfire was far away, the brothers were not pessimistic and disappointed, because they believed in their superiors.
Sure enough, a dense burst of gunfire soon rang out in the northeast direction, and listening to the intensity of the gunfire, the scale of the exchange of fire was large.
"I said that the battalion commander, they must be trying to lure the devil away so that they can save us!" The brother who had judged earlier was full of joy because he had judged correctly.
The brothers all looked in the direction of the northeast, and the explosions and gunshots there were continuous, although they could not see it, but their hearts were much more steady.
Perhaps the strength of the little devil's blocking force is too strong, although the northeast direction is very lively, but the rescue force has never broken into the field of vision of the brothers, and has been fighting in an invisible place.
"What's the matter with them, why haven't they fought yet?"
As the minutes passed, some of the brothers became impatient, fearing that the relief forces would be repelled by the devils again, and that if they did, they would have no hope of survival.
"You don't know the combat effectiveness of the devils, let's wait, the brothers will definitely come to pick us out."
Looking at the brothers who looked restless, the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou comforted them, in fact, his heart was more anxious than anyone else, and he didn't know what was going on over there, why he hadn't called yet.
The brothers waited until dark, and the northeast side was ping-pong, but the brothers did not even see the shadow of reinforcements.
"Brothers, the place where we heard the gunfire is not far away, and we can't wait, so let's rush over and join the brothers who have answered us."
Hua Gou, the deputy battalion commander, also knew that if he waited like this, he didn't know when he would return, so he decided to take the initiative to attack and find a reunion with the guerrilla troops.
"Okay, let's kill it!"
The brothers all agreed with the idea of the flower dog, rather than waiting for death here, it is better to kill it, in case there is a way to live.
Soon the brothers were in place, twisting ropes from rags and hanging a few light machine guns around the necks of several burly brothers to open the way, while the rest of the brothers covered the wounded and charged northeast together.
Because it was a breakthrough, the brothers did not dare to charge with great fanfare, but quietly climbed out of the trench and touched towards the devil.
But the little devil is not a vegetarian either, and when the brothers were about to climb to the edge of the devil's encirclement, the devil suddenly fired a flare.
A lamp swayed into the sky, and in an instant the miserable white light shrouded it, illuminating this piece as bright as day.
At this moment, the brothers who were crawling forward were all exposed to the guns of the little devils in an instant, and the little devils were also surprised, but they did not expect that the brothers of the guerrillas were almost touching their noses.
"Brothers, get out!"
Seeing that it had been exposed, the deputy battalion commander Hua Gou did not hesitate any longer, jumped up from the ground suddenly, raised his hand and shot at the devil behind the sandbag, and one of the devils fell to the ground in response.
"Dada-"
The brothers who hung the machine gun around their necks also began to fire at the devils with their machine guns horizontally, and the huge recoil made their bodies tremble continuously, and one by one the fire chains swept out.
Everywhere the chain of fire went, the little devils were beaten into a trembling sieve one by one, blood blooming in the dark night, and the other brothers also rushed and opened fire.
