"The squad leaders of each squad counted the number of people, the wounded were all gathered together, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were thrown out of the coffin, Biaozi, you take people to collect weapons and ammunition, and the Japanese army will come soon" At this time, Liu Goat had completely forgotten the order that the battalion headquarters had just sent that they could decide the time of retreat for themselves. The outpost they were stationed at was at the intersection of two roads, and although it was also on open land, the position of the position was slightly higher than the surrounding terrain, and the firing range was better, but their position was just holding the road, or the Japanese would not have taken advantage of the night to come to them for the first time.

Tang Cheng, who was still carrying a shell gun in his hand, seemed very busy, and the people of the second company did not know that Tang Cheng was afraid, Tang Cheng was the first person to shoot just now, if it wasn't for Tang Cheng's preemptive fire, everyone might have been killed by this group of Japanese soldiers who came up at night. No one knew that Tang Cheng had just killed the Japanese soldiers face-to-face with a shell gun, and he didn't know the so-called knee-jerk reaction at all. He had killed 100 Japanese soldiers at one time in his reverie more than once, although it was only his imagination in his spare time, but Tang Cheng still enjoyed it, after all, in his imagination, he was a great hero.

Tang Cheng, who had had experienced a positional battle in Shanghai, felt that he had become the warrior Xie Bo described himself, but it was not until tonight that he realized that he was still far from Xie Bo's request, although he had killed more than one Japanese soldier with a shell gun just now. Tang Cheng, who lowered his head and pretended to be busy, was very ashamed in his heart, and the moment he pulled the trigger in the face of the Japanese army, he even thought about raising the muzzle of the gun, but Yang Douzi's bloodstained and charred steel helmet did not allow him to do that. If he let these brutes go, he would be sorry for these brothers in the second company, but fortunately, Tang Cheng's choice was right, he killed these Japanese soldiers, and at the same time won the trust of the veterans.

However, Tang Cheng knew very well in his heart that he didn't want to see a living person killed by a single shot by himself, and he didn't even dare to fight with the Japanese army, which is why he thought about raising the muzzle of the gun the moment he pulled the trigger. Tang Cheng now regrets not choosing that machine gun, the machine gun has a long range, and he doesn't have to think about seeing their faces when killing Japanese soldiers. The battle was over, as if he had done something wrong, Tang Cheng kept busy, hiding from his robes, he felt that everyone in the trenches had seen through him, saw through him and didn't dare to kill, and he was actually a cowardless ghost who was strong and strong.

"Company commander, I'm afraid we can't hold it, there are only 17 of us, and after Yang Douzi is gone, we only have 16 people left. I clicked just now, counting you company commander, there are only 9 people left in our second company who can still breathe. Four were killed in the direct battle, and two of the five people who were slightly and seriously injured were able to move, the pony was pierced through the heart by a bayonet, the pillar and Zhao Qiang were smashed in the head by the bullet, and the cook was gone. Zhou Fu, who was hit by a bullet in his arm, came over with one arm hanging from his arm.

I don't know when Lu Dao started, and the matter of counting casualties in the second company was handled by Zhou Fu, but he obviously didn't include himself in the five minor and serious casualties he said. Liu Goat, who was smoking, thought of the large piece of Japanese steel helmet in the fire just now, and his mouth couldn't help but feel bitter, the situation was really bad, there were only 9 people left who could hold guns, and it was impossible to face the Japanese army as many as locusts.

Seeing that Liu Goat didn't talk, Zhou Fu just sighed secretly and then continued to whisper to Liu Goat, "The crush is injured, the bullet pierced an arm, and the gun is not possible, it is still okay to help load the bullet." Zhang Chuang's waist was opened by the bayonet of the devil soldiers, and it was already wrapped, but we didn't have ambulances, and if this blood flowed too much, I am afraid it would not work. Seeing that Liu Goat still didn't answer, Zhou Fu said cautiously, "Company commander, we can't hold it, let's withdraw, didn't the teaching team say that we can decide the timing of retreat for ourselves?" ”

"Then withdraw" Liu Goat's voice was a little empty, as if it had floated from a long distance, "Leave me a machine gun and ammunition, and leave another ammunition hand, no one will break it, and the wounded will not be able to bring it back at all" Liu Goat, who took the initiative to ask himself to break it, let out a long breath, as if he had let go of the burden of a thousand catties in his heart. It's not that the second company is not powerful, but because the strength of the second company is too small, and the Japanese army is too special, and the second company with only 9 living people left can't hold here at all.

"The old rule, draw a lot of life and death, and those who are drawn will follow me to stay behind, don't count you, you have to protect the wounded, don't count" Liu Goat Zhilu said that Zhou Fu has been handling the duties of an ambulance, although he is a person who does not understand battlefield ambulance, but he can wrap the wounds of the brothers tightly, so as not to watch the wounded brothers bleed to death. Throwing the matter to Li Zhoufu to do, Liu Goat himself squatted next to the bullet box with a shell gun and began to press the bullets into the empty spare magazine.

Zhou Fu has a small cloth bag, which contains fried soybeans, Zhou Fu, who likes to grind his teeth, always eats when he is on guard, and what Liu Goat said is Zhou Fu's beans when drawing life and death lots. Zhou Fu counted 7 beans according to the head and put them into the steel helmet covered with military uniforms, one of which was marked, and the mark was only known by Zhou Fu and Liu Goat. "Come on, Lian Zuo said, he needs someone to follow him to stay behind the break, everyone comes out of the bean in the steel helmet, and the brother who touches the red dot will follow the Lian Zuo to stay behind the break" Zhou Fu carefully covered the steel helmet with his military uniform, for fear that the guy who touched the beans would see the beans inside the steel helmet.

The guys who were still alive in the trenches all carefully touched a bean from the steel helmet with a cold face, and they were naturally relieved to leave it without touching it, and they didn't say anything before it was their turn to touch the bean, just sat next to Zhou Fu in a daze. There are still three people left in the trench who have not touched the beans, Tang Cheng and Niu Wazi, who have not spoken, still have nine catties, and the beans with red dots have not appeared, which means that one of the remaining three people must follow Liu Goat to stay behind.

"Which of you comes first?" Zhou Fu, who was holding a steel helmet, blinked his eyes, he was in a hurry to send Nian Zi and Zhang Chuang back to the city for treatment. Niu Wazi, the most active of the three, walked over with his rifle, and Zhou Fu found that Niu Wazi's leg was injured and he was limping when he walked. However, Zhou Fu didn't say anything, leaving behind is a matter of nine deaths, once it is stuck by the Japanese army, it can't run out at all, then there is only a dead end, whether the legs and feet are sharp or not, it is useless, as long as you can still hold a gun, you will meet the conditions of the lottery.

Niu Wazi's hand slowly reached into the steel helmet held by Zhou Fu, and he suddenly felt that his throat was dry, just like when he fled with his family and ate Guanyin soil, his throat was hot and painful. It's not this, it's not this, Niu Wazi's hand rubbed back and forth on the remaining three beans in the steel helmet, hoping to find out if there were no red dot beans, but he couldn't tell which one was the marked bean. "Niu Wazi, are you fucking okay, if you rub it for a while, the Japanese will come up, and none of us will be able to leave at that time" Zhou Fu laughed and teased Niu Wazi, but Niu Wazi couldn't laugh, because his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he didn't have the intention of laughing at all.

"It's not me, it's not me" In Zhou Fu's urging, Niu Wazi gritted his teeth and touched out a bean as if he was resigned to his fate, but it turned out to be not the bean that was marked, and the moment he returned the bean to Zhou Fu, Niu Wazi actually had a feeling that he was about to collapse. Niu Wazi's appearance when he touched the beans looked too life-saving, but the guys in the trenches didn't laugh at him, they were all born and raised by his parents, and no one had the right to force him to die, Niu Wazi's performance was not wrong.

There are only two beans left in the steel helmet, and there are only Tang Cheng who didn't speak and Jiujin who didn't know what to do in the trenches, looking at Tang Cheng's thin body, Zhou Fu, who was holding the steel helmet, suddenly felt a little unbearable, but this draw of life and death can't be put aside because he is young, and it is not his own if he carries the gun. "Don't touch it" Tang Cheng, who had been squatting without speaking, suddenly pressed the hand stretched out to the steel helmet by Jiujin, and the old god smiled comfortably, "Both of us stayed, and the two of us followed the company commander to stay behind, and it was more convenient for three people than two people." ”

"Tang Cheng, why are you so troubled?" Looking at Tang Cheng's somewhat stiff smiling face, Liu Goat, who was reloading the bullets, couldn't help but laugh too. "It's also my fault, if it weren't for Lao Tzu forcing you to stay in Erlian, maybe you would have gone to Sichuan with Jiujin. I thought that when Lao Tzu closed his eyes, he could hand over the second company to your kid to manage, and it didn't delay Xie Bo's entrustment when he left, but now it seems that he is still a little anxious, not only did he not rebuild our second company, but also killed several brothers in a row. ”

Looking at Zhou Fu and them who were busy in the trenches, Tang Cheng, who was sitting next to Liu Goat and followed the bullets, did not speak, pressed the magazine of the barge gun, and pressed the bullets in the spare magazine for the machine gun. There were only three of them left in the position for a while, and if the Japanese attacked again, they would not have time to reload the magazines, and now they could load more bullets, and it would be a little easier to fight after a while.

The sparks outside the trenches had long been extinguished, and those that were not extinguished were also covered with soil by Biaozi with sapper shovels, and Liu Goat looked at the watch on his wrist by the light of the flashlight, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn in more than an hour. "Let's go, you should also withdraw, when you go far, the three of us will withdraw" Liu Goat brought back the machine gun from the trench and was about to change the machine gun position, but was stopped by Qiu Jiangong, the third squad leader with a cigarette bag and pot.
