Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Heart of Death Battle

"Boom" "Boom" Mortars and grenadiers from the Japanese army kept hitting shells at Liu Goat's position, Tang Cheng's hand was tightly gripping his shell gun, and his index finger was on the trigger, but he was asleep, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly. The continuous combat had exhausted Tang Cheng's physical strength, and he had already been scarred all over his body, and he had been struggling to support it, and finally retreated to a safe place, and Tang Cheng, who was lying on his side behind the bunker, finally fainted and fell asleep regardless of it.

Surrounded by the smoke of the gun, the grip of the shell gun was the only thing he felt that could increase his sense of security, and he held it tightly and did not dare to let go for a moment. Days of fierce fighting and anxiety had completely overdrawn him, and he couldn't wake up from a deep sleep after being knocked unconscious. His body was covered in burns, bruises, and splash wounds, and he looked horribly bloodstained, but it was much stronger than when he was admitted to the hospital in Shanghai.

There was a loud bang, this cannon sound was different from other cannon sounds just now, this time the shock wave could make the ears feel painful, very close, Tang Cheng, who was asleep, suddenly turned over and sat up, he is no longer the kind of ordinary person who has to wipe his eyes and wait for his brain to slowly sober up after waking up, he is now a soldier who will naturally resist when he feels danger, and this cannonball is too close! No one can wake up his body to the extreme, but cannonballs can, death can.

There were no lights, only the dim brightness of the sunset or the early moon, and it was in a large room, the same kind of bungalow as in the Shanghai Concession, and there were about twenty wounded in the hall, only two medics, one of whom could act as a medic because of his minor injuries. "You're finally awake." The medical soldier with a gloomy and numb expression was very surprised to see Tang Cheng wake up, when Tang Cheng was sent down from the battlefield, he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and he clutched the shell gun in his hand to death, they had no choice but to unload the bullets and magazines in the chamber first.

Tang Cheng, who had just woken up, didn't know that he had slept for a long time, and now that it was dark, the biting cold wind blew and made Tang Cheng, who walked out of the western-style building, shudder. But what made him feel even more chilled was the scene he saw when he just turned a corner, at least 40 corpses of national soldiers were neatly placed behind the bushes, looking at the bullet holes and blood stains on their military uniforms, thinking that they should have been sent down but could not treat the wounded who died.

Tang Cheng, who was glad that he was still alive, smelled the smell of kerosene, and looked carefully, the corpses behind the bushes were not poured kerosene, it should be Liu Goat's idea, it was to prevent the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle from spilling gas, and the dust returned to the dust, and perhaps burying their ashes deep in the city was the best consolation and praise for these brothers who died in battle.

By the light of the fire thrown from the hall, Tang Cheng looked at one of the corpses, and he recognized this corpse as a soldier named Tian Niu, who should be from the 156th Division, Tian Niu's chest was full of bullet holes, but he died peacefully, as if he had slept in his sleep. The wounded soldiers were sent down with a body of wounds that they did not know how many they were, and the massive blood loss and hunger made them exhausted when they retreated from the line of fire, and they often did not wake up again as soon as they closed their eyes in such a cold winter.

Tang Cheng, who was standing by the bushes, couldn't help but have another cold shiver, even if he was shot and wounded, he didn't want to die silently like Tian Niu. Maybe he will take advantage of the strength to grab a grenade and want to die with the Japanese army, just like the veterans of the national army on the Shanghai street entrance position, Tang Cheng, who was moving forward silently, did not know if he would have that courage when he really arrived, but he was ready to do that, because he did not want to die silently like Tian Niu.

Passing over the corpses and the wounded, the sound of all kinds of gunfire suddenly became piercing after Tang Cheng turned the most intact courtyard wall, and the battlefield of the firefight was in front of him. "You kid can be regarded as having your eyes open, I thought you were going to sleep until dawn." Liu Goat's face was full of surprise, and he casually handed a German-style steel helmet to the bareheaded Tang Cheng, and when he arranged for someone to carry Tang Cheng down, he thought that he would never see this kid again.

There was still about a squad of national soldiers guarding the position under Liu Shanyang's personal command, and there were not many devils on the opposite side, and the soldiers on both sides were shooting coldly. Although they are Japanese devils in marksmanship, they are in a hurry to attack, and the soldiers of the national army who have been strictly ordered by Liu Goat will not fight hard, they all hide behind the bunker and aim at a bunker that the Japanese army will borrow if they want to come up, and as long as there are Japanese soldiers showing their heads, they will fire. After a few rounds, the Japanese suffered heavy losses, and they still couldn't break through for the time being.

"Jiujin and the people of the Sichuan army are blocked by the little devils with machine guns, if they can't withdraw before dawn, things will be difficult." Liu Goat pointed to a piece of ruins not far from their left flank and whispered to Tang Cheng. Across a large house that was blown down, it was another blocking position, because the house in the middle was blown up by the Japanese artillery fire, and the national troops on both sides who shouted to each other were no problem, but they could not communicate, and the Japanese army blocked the ruins between them with machine gun fire, and three national soldiers had died under the machine gun fire of the Japanese army.

There is an angle between the ruins formed after the collapse of a house in the position over there, and they are hiding in that corner with a light machine gun, because of the angle problem, the Japanese artillery fire has never been able to bombard it, so the machine gun of Jiujin has become the most powerful lethal firepower on the entire position. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers who tried to cross it fell in the clearing, which became the most important target of the Japanese army, but neither grenades nor counterfire could destroy the fire point.

In this way, the other positions were basically reduced to a supporting role in the battle, and the heavy firepower of the Japanese army was all concentrated there, and the red firepower of the Japanese army could often be seen covered in a net, but the bullets from the Japanese army hit the hard wall base and all bounced out, and they were safe and sound in the nine catties in the corner. "We have to find a way to send food and bullets over," Liu Goat roared hoarsely, "I can't pass the day, the little devils are keeping an eye on the machine guns, and it is estimated that they are running out of ammunition and food for nine catties." ”

"I'll go" Tang Cheng began to check the shell gun in his hand, he had been resting for half a day, he had energy, seeing the corpses on the position, he understood how fierce the battle had been in the past half a day, and the number of corpses on the position far exceeded the number of corpses Tang Cheng saw behind the bushes in the western-style building. Liu Goat wanted to refuse Tang Cheng's request and wanted to change to someone else, but the look in Tang Cheng's eyes was resolute, and after looking down and thinking about it, Liu Goat finally agreed to let Tang Cheng go over Jiujin alone with a box of machine gun bullets.

Tang Cheng didn't move with the ammunition box like the previous soldiers who transported the ammunition, but directly opened the ammunition box and loaded all the bullets inside into his backpack. Although carrying a backpack somewhat affects Tang Cheng's movement speed, it is also better than the comfort of letting him carry an ammunition box, and it is also convenient for Tang Cheng to crawl forward in a low position. There are more and more Japanese soldiers in the city, they don't know if the other troops have already withdrawn, they only know that they want to continue fighting, they can't retreat, half a step back will collapse the entire defense line, so they can only choose to continue to fight, until everyone is gone.

There is no depth in the position, there are no reinforcements, everyone is ready to fight to the death, ready to fight to the death, Liu Goat seemed to understand Tang Cheng's thoughts, he just looked at Tang Cheng's back that disappeared into the night with a silent expression but didn't say anything. If it weren't for his desire to search for ammunition, they wouldn't have fallen into such a crazy entanglement of the Japanese army, if he hadn't made the wrong choice, maybe they would have crossed the Rujiang Gate to the other side at this time.

Liu Goat took over the light machine gun that had been ceased for a long time from the machine gun beside him, and knew that Tang Cheng wanted to fight to the death here, Liu Goat couldn't stop it, he could only watch Tang Cheng pass through the Japanese fire blockade to do this extremely dangerous thing, because this was Tang Cheng's own choice. And what Liu Goat can do now is to open fire to attract the attention of the Japanese army for Tang Cheng, so that Tang Cheng, who may be shot by the Japanese army, dies without resentment.

Of course, Liu Goat would not let Tang Cheng go on the adventure alone, Tang Cheng was accompanied by two people belonging to the Sichuan Army, three boxes of machine gun bullets, which were all the machine gun bullets that Liu Goat could get at present. "Let's go around it, the ruins can't get through." Tang Cheng, who was lying on the ground, whispered an order, and the two people behind him began to quietly retreat, ready to find another passage to detour, "Da Da" The machine gun in Liu Goat's hand fired instantly, and the trajectory in the night was unusually conspicuous, but at the same time, his own position was directly exposed to the Japanese machine gunner opposite.

"Quick, let's go over, and when the gunfire stops, we'll crawl on the ground little by little, and we must not get up." Hearing the gunshot, Tang Cheng, who was shocked, turned his head to see that Liu Goat's gunfire had been intertwined with the gunfire from the Japanese machine gun, and Tang Cheng's eyes instantly rose with a cloud of water vapor, and he knew that this was Liu Goat attracting Japanese machine gun fire for them.

Crossing the ruins is the closest route to Jiujin and their side, if Tang Cheng really chooses to detour, not only will he encounter the Japanese army, but it will also take a long time, especially the opportunity to spend Liu Goat's life in exchange. Tang Cheng jumped up from behind the pile of bricks and stones and ran towards Jiujin, the heavy backpack flicked around on Tang Cheng's thin back, and the wounds on Tang Cheng's back stinged. Caring about it so much, Tang Cheng hated that he could grow two more legs now, and he even imagined that he could cross this ruin in one step and go directly to Jiujin and them.
