"Let's go, it's time to go" Liu Goat, who walked out of the darkness again, carried his Mauser rifle in his hand, and a 20-round barge gun in the holster on his waist, and the whole person looked like an unsheathed steel knife. More than a dozen figures stood up in the dark place at the city gate, and the group lined up out of the city gate after Liu Goat's name, and walked for half a mile to a hidden position. This is not a regular defensive position, but only an outpost position set up by the teaching team, which is a temporary position specially prepared for the second company to serve as a forward guard mission.

Liu Goat, who had patrolled the position, was napping with his eyes closed in the machine gun nest built of sandbags, while Tang Cheng took a piece of coarse cloth and wiped his 20-round shell gun. This 20 rings followed Tang Cheng all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing, was used by Tang Cheng to kill Japanese soldiers, and was also thrown out of Tang Cheng as a dart in a hurry, this shell gun has become an indispensable good partner of Tang Cheng. The M1911 is the gun that Robert once used, and Tang Cheng chose to idle this M1911 more, because it carries Tang Cheng's nostalgia and remembrance of Robert, and Tang Cheng is unwilling to use it as a weapon.

The soldiers of the second company stationed at the outpost position were not sleepy, even those who were lying down were all looking at the night sky with their eyes open and stupid, and a few veterans who couldn't sleep simply took cigarettes and snacks to Liu Goat's machine gun nest to chat and chat, passing the long night. "Company commander, do you think we can hold this Nanjing City?" Niu Wazi was gnawing on a duck's head with an oily face, but a pair of eyes were looking at Tang Cheng who was wiping his gun with a dignified face.

The age of the veterans of the second company is older than Niu Wazi, and the oldest Liu Goat is even older than Niu Wazi and can be 14 years old, but this does not prevent Niu Wazi, who is only 21 years old, from being big in front of Tang Cheng, because Tang Cheng is two years younger than him. The veterans usually like to make jokes, but at this moment, their faces are full of solemnity, and it is obvious that Niu Wazi's question is also what they want to ask. Shanghai in front has been defeated, Guanghuamen has been put into the city for more than ten days in a row, a lot of defeated soldiers and refugees, Nanjing garrison commander Tang Shengzhi said to defend Nanjing City, but the veterans care about Liu Goat's attitude.

Not afraid of wolf-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, veterans don't want to take their own commanders to fight with everyone is not of the same mind. "Poof" Liu Goat spit the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, and said without raising his head, "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, we are soldiers, and we will die in this Nanjing city if it's a big deal" Liu Goat's answer made the veterans face each other, although they had already guessed that Liu Goat would answer like this, but the resoluteness in these words still made their hearts cold.

"Don't be dead all day long, unlucky, Niu Wazi, you fucking ate the first few duck heads, you should leave us some" Qiu Jiangong, the third squad leader, saw that everyone was silent, so he diverted the topic and played a round. Tang Cheng, who had been silent, put the spare magazine of the pressed bullet into his pocket, and readjusted the gun belt by the way, and then raised his eyes to look at the veterans.

"Chief Tang has already ordered all the boats on the river to sail away, none of us can go, rather than lose momentum to the point that it is better to fight to the death here, maybe we can repel the Japanese attack" Liu Goat's words were very slow, and everyone heard the bad meaning from his words. Liu Goat's news was all heard from the snobs of the teaching team, although Liu Goat didn't look down on the people of the teaching team from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew that those guys wouldn't laugh about it.

During the Battle of Shanghai in February, the Nationalist Army transferred so many troops into Shanghai, but they did not stop the Japanese army. Although there are a lot of troops hoarded in the city of Nanjing, there are many troops, not to mention heavy weapons, and there are not even many light machine guns. But they are the ones who carry guns and eat food, and since they have received this salary, they have to play with their lives, especially at this time.

"Forget it, let's die, anyway, I'm with my brothers, even below, we're also a bunch of guys, let's still huddle together to beat those evil ghosts" Li Fugui, who has always been optimistic, laughed more than the jade pendant around his neck, but the smile on his face was even uglier than crying, and anyone who looked at it said it was fake. There was no sound in the machine gun nest for a while, and everyone couldn't lift their spirits to speak, just leaning together to think about their own thoughts, and it didn't take much effort, and the cow baby with a duck's head in his hand leaned on the sandbag and snored.

"Damn, this dog thing belongs to him without heart and lungs, anyway, he lives alone, and the whole family is not hungry by a person" Liu Goat took the torn coat covered on the machine gun and covered the cow baby, took out his cigarette and smoked it. "Just remember that you are a member of the second company, and don't let the guy who taught the corps see our jokes." The cigarette butt in Liu Goat's mouth flickered dimly and brightly, no one spoke in the machine gun nest, and even Tang Cheng did not make a sound as if he was asleep.

After smoking a cigarette, Liu Goat shrunk and dozed against the light machine gun nest, the whole person seemed to be a lot stiffer all of a sudden, and his body was not very tall and looked even shorter, and the whole person huddled into a pile in the machine gun nest and stopped talking. Tang Cheng, who was leaning back against the sandbag, pulled out the bayonet at his waist and rubbed the blade with his fingers, which was his favorite thing to do lately, but he had not yet been cut by the blade.

Tang Cheng is not bored and has nothing to do, he just likes the feeling of the blade cutting through his fingers, it is very special and exciting, this is a habit that Tang Cheng only had after being sent to the old man's daughter-in-law's house to recuperate from his injuries, Tang Cheng always rubbed the blade whenever he was worried or nervous, only in this way could he relax.

As an officer, Liu Shanyang himself didn't know whether he could hold Nanjing, but when the Second Regiment held a meeting, Xie Chengrui was full of confidence every time, saying that there were many elite troops of the national army around Nanjing, and reinforcements from all over the country would continue to come to Nanjing. The chairman of the NPC National Committee is seeking international support, and as long as he withstands the previous waves of Japanese attacks, and when the Japanese army's accumulated combat strength weakens, Nanjing, which has more than 100,000 national troops, will certainly be able to hold on.

Liu Goat, who has fought twice in the Battle of Songhu in half his life, is not one of those illiterate old and coarse officers in the national army, Xie Chengrui's words can not dispel the doubts in Liu Goat's heart, since reinforcements from all walks of life can rush to Nanjing to support, then why can't they directly intercept the Japanese army that invaded Nanjing? Why do you have to put the battlefield in Nanjing? Since the government already has the certainty of dealing with the attack of the Japanese army, why should it hastily withdraw the troops from Shanghai, how good it would be to drive the Japanese into the sea directly in Shanghai, and it would be so troublesome for those reinforcements from the province to come to Nanjing.

Liu Goat is as full of questions as Niu Wazi, but he is only a small captain company commander, and he is also a captain and company commander of the 88th Division who is not taught to be seen by the general team. Important and confidential things are not at all within his reach, and his only mission is to try to appease his brothers, so that when the Japanese army attacks, they will not abandon their guns and flee and lose their positions. The only thing he could do was to take these brothers to fight the Japanese army to the death, without receiving the order to retreat, and he could not take a step back, and he could not discredit the second company.

There was no light in the dark night, and there was no sound on the position, everyone huddled in the rudimentary position with their rifles like Liu Goat and took a nap, and the Second Regiment only said that it wanted the Second Company to go out of the city to serve as a guard, but did not say that it had to force the Second Company to search outside the city. Therefore, as long as the people of the second company sleep in this temporary position for a night, go back and tell the second regiment that they have not found any abnormalities, they will be considered to have completed the task, and I believe that those guys who do not wait to see the second company will not touch out in the middle of the night to confirm whether the second company is holding on to the position.

Counting Tang Cheng and Jiujin, there are now 17 people in the Second Company, and Liu Goat has divided the Second Company into three classes, with 5 people in each class, and he and Tang Cheng are not counted in the three classes. Knowing through the dozen or so Japanese spies at Zhonghua Gate, the veterans of the second company completely recognized Tang Cheng's ability, Liu Shanyang put Tang Cheng alone as his assistant, and the others had nothing to say, but on the ownership of nine catties, the three squad leaders had an argument.

The second company is now not short of light weapons, all of them have a long and short gun, and Jiujin even carried two shell guns in the style of Liu Goat. The second company has no heavy machine guns, no mortars, only a Czech light machine gun, the machine gunner was originally a miller, but in order to keep Jiujin, the miller has privately promised to let Jiujin be the machine gunner, so the ownership of Jiujin means the ownership of the machine gun. In the end, Liu Goat slapped the board and left the nine catties and the light machine gun in the first class of the mill, and everyone stopped arguing for this time.

The corner of the cow baby's mouth covered with a torn coat was already sleeping, and the snoring sound of nine catties was like thunder, but Tang Cheng, who was leaning on the sandbag, kept his eyes open. There are such records in the war notes left by Xie Bo, and when marching and camping or on guard at night, you need to be careful and vigilant, and you can't take it lightly because you are far away from danger, otherwise you will be the one who will be harmed the most.

Liu Goats They drove a truck all the way from Suzhou to Nanjing, but Tang Cheng came step by step on his own legs, and there were several Japanese infiltration troops on the road, not to mention the two thrilling air raids by Japanese aircraft, so compared with Liu Goat, Tang Cheng seemed to be more aware of the approaching danger was not far away.

When it was almost dawn, Liu Goat, who had curled up all night, woke up quietly, and saw that Tang Cheng had not slept all night, Liu Goat honestly and unceremoniously kicked the cow baby who was sleeping like a dead pig awake, and replaced Tang Cheng and slept for a while. The second company of "Returning to the City" stayed outside the city until dawn, and seeing that there was nothing to do all night, Liu Goat couldn't help but scold the teaching team up and down again, "Damn, these dogs know that they will make us poor." ”
