Chapter 47
In the underground cover of the 19th Brigade, Wang Yidao used a dagger to pick the flesh of a finger bone cut off from a Japanese little finger. At this moment, the tendons and flesh scraps on the finger bones have been removed, leaving only Bai Sensen's finger bones. Wang Yidao took out a sharp shoe cone from the bag and drilled a hole in the middle of the finger bones.
More than forty veterans in the ranks sat far away, looking at Wang Yidao like a monster.
Although Wang Yidao joined Yidao for several days, the veterans in Yidao were a little afraid of him. It was not because this guy was good at playing with him. The key was that he had a special hobby of collecting little finger bones. God knew that he would get nervous one day and cut their little finger bones. The platoon leader Wang Xiaomu took the courage to come to Wang Yidao and asked, "Old Dao, are you in it?"
Wang Yidao grinned and revealed two rows of white teeth: "Don't do it, be a gadget."
Wang Xiaomu felt air conditioning on his feet, smiled awkwardly at Wang Yidao, and then sat back.
During the day, other brothers were fighting with the little Japanese. The veterans of the company were sleeping. They had enough sleep and were full of energy to sit there, staring at each other, and they didn't know what. Without the order of the company commander Gao Shenxing, they did not dare to go out without permission. When they were feeling uncomfortable, Gao Shenxing walked into the cover with a cold face: All companies were in emergency
Wang Xiaomu and more than forty veterans stood up one after another, picked up rifles and rushed out. Wang Yidao also put his guy in the bag, and then picked it up from his feet and officially left.
Wang Yidao rushed out of the shelter and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, the drying yard was filled with veterans like javelins.
After a whole day of restoring energy, more than 300 veterans seemed energetic, all of whom looked up and raised their chests, and were full of fighting spirit. Looking at the young faces in front of them, Gao Shenxing felt sad. After a while, he would take these young veterans on the journey, and most of them would definitely not be able to come back.
A moment later, the company, the 3rd Company, the artillery company and the guard platoon were also arrived.
Xu Shijiu walked out of the brigade command center with a serious expression with a grave.
Xu Shijiu didn't want to say much about these veterans. There was no need for them. These veterans had experienced many battles and were all climbed out of the dead. They had already prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country. In the same sentence, since they put on this military uniform, they no longer regarded themselves as living people.
As a soldier, this is a fate that they cannot avoid.
The queue was quickly completed. When Xu Shijiu was about to order the departure, two figures, one old and one young, suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was Jiu Ye and his little grandson Xiao Dianzi. Jiu Ye got the news from somewhere and came forward and asked, "Captain Xu, I heard that you are going to Xiao Zhuzhuang to beat the little Japanese?"
Xu Shijiu frowned and said nothing. This time he was going to fight with the little Japanese. What is the point of bringing the elderly and children?
Seeing Xu Shijiu not saying a word, Master Jiu said anxiously again: "Sir Xu, I have lived in Xiao Zhuzhuang for almost thirty years. The terrain there is familiar, I will lead you the way."
Jiu Ye did live in Xiao Zhuzhuang for nearly thirty years. After the Boxer Rebellion failed, he left Langfang and went to Henan, and then fell into the foot of Xiao Zhuzhuang, marrying and having children until today. He never thought that seven days ago, the Japanese army passed through Xiao Zhuzhuang and killed his family of more than a dozen people. Jiu Ye and his grandson happened to visit relatives in the neighboring village, so he survived.
Xu Shijiu's heart moved slightly when he heard this. The night march was no better than during the day. If there was no fellow villager who was familiar with the terrain, he would probably go through a crossroads. Once he went through a crossroads, he would probably miss the opportunity. Xu Shijiu said to Master Jiu: "Master Jiu, then I'll be lucky to lead the way for us, but the little dick can't go."
"Grandpa." Xiaodianzi begged to look at Master Jiu.
Master Jiu touched Xiaodanzi's little head lovingly and said, "Child, be obedient."
Xu Shijiu winked at Cao Jiao who was following him, and Cao Jiao hurried over and took Xiaodanzi away. Before leaving, Cao Jiao looked at the black blind man behind Xu Shijiu again. Her lips closed, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing, just took Xiaodanzi away silently.
But the moment Cao Jiao turned around, crystal tears were shining in the corners of her eyes. Seeing Cao Jiao crying, Hei Xiaozi's eyes turned red in an instant. Hei Xiaozi is not stupid, he is just a little stupid. Don't look at him pretending to know nothing, but in fact, he understands more than anyone else in his heart. He just doesn't dare to accept Cao Jiao's kindness.
As a soldier, he was licking blood on the tip of a knife. No one knew whether he could live to see the rising sun tomorrow. In this situation, how could Hei Xiaozi accept Cao Jiao's kindness and how could he dare to be with her? What if the two of them were really good, and then he would die in battle the next day, wouldn't that hurt the other girl?
But at this moment, Hei Xiazi secretly swears in his heart, Cao Jiao, if I can come back alive this time, I will definitely be happy with you, and I can't break up us.
In addition to the Guard Division and the Di Pei regiment, the remaining fifteen permanent divisions of Japan were only equipped with artillery gangs. Each artillery gang had four artillery brigades under its jurisdiction. A standard artillery gang had more than 3,000 personnel, more than 2,000 mules and horses, 48 mountain cannons or field cannons, and more than 500 guns were equipped with various types.
Field heavy artillery brigades are generally composed separately, and each heavy artillery brigade is under the jurisdiction of two heavy artillery corps.
At this time, artillery soldiers were gathered near Xiaozhuzhuang. Not only was the field artillery corps of the 16th Division deployed, but the Independence Mountain Artillery 1 Regiment and the Field Heavy Artillery brigade were also deployed. In a narrow area of less than two kilometers, 19丨 cannons were deployed, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and nearly 10,000 horses were also gathered.
In just two days, all the green seedlings near Xiaozhuzhuang were gnawed.
The little Japanese are crazy enough that even the shells are piled up in the open air, which bullies the Kuomintang army without air force. Otherwise, just a few dozen bombers will come, and the little Japanese cannon group gathered near Xiao Zhuzhuang will be completely ruined.
Xu Shijiu led his troops to march to Xiaozhuzhuang, and his heart sank as soon as he looked up.
I saw that the lights were brightly lit near Xiao Zhuzhuang, and the two kilometers were all Japanese artillery positions. Deep trenches were dug outside the position. Barbed wire was also installed in the trenches. There was a guard post every fifty meters, and a 100-meter-long viewing building was installed. There was a large searchlight on the building, and it kept searching and patrolling the surroundings.
There were also a team of six or seven side tricycles patrolling back and forth along the simple road outside the camp. Once attacked, the patrol troops could react immediately. Xu Shijiu was confident that they would be able to solve them in a short time, but the problem was that after the patrol troops were solved, the Japanese troops in the camp would have been prepared for a long time.
Judging from the situation in front of him, the little Japanese gathered at least four artillery corps here. There are so many artillery soldiers, at least there should be a garrison of a corps of a size above the corps. Once the little Japanese is prepared, the little troops brought by Xu Shijiu may not be enough to block the little Japanese teeth, let alone destroy the little Japanese artillery positions.
Gao Shenxing subconsciously shook the modified rifle in his hand and said to Xu Shijiu: "Captain, you're in trouble now."
Behind Gao Shenxing, the three platoon leaders and Hei Xiaozi were a little nervous. In this situation, as long as they launch an attack, they will definitely be alive without death. Although they have already become aware of death, when they face death, how many people can calm down and how many people can be as calm as ever?
Xu Shijiu had no expression on his face, but he was struggling violently inside.
The current situation may not have been able to break into the Japanese position even if the situation is now over, and it may not have been able to blow up a cannon. Should I fight this battle? Xu Shijiu is not worried that he will not be able to explain to Feng Shengfa when he goes back. If Feng Shengfa knew about the situation in Xiao Zhuzhuang, he would probably not agree to the 19th Brigade's strong attack.
The real problem is, if the Japanese artillery position is not destroyed, how should they fight tomorrow?
More than half of the 58th Division was killed or injured. If it could not seriously damage the artillery of the Japanese, Dangshan defense would inevitably collapse.
"This little Japanese is very well-built fortifications." Hei Xiaozi licked his lips, which were already cracked, and cursed in a muffled voice, "This guy just put everyone in. I'm afraid he might not be able to blow up a cannon in the little Japanese. If he could touch it without knowing it, he could at least explode a few of his doors."
The black blind man spoke without any intention. After hearing this, Master Jiu felt aroused his heart and immediately came over to Xu Shijiu and said, "Sir Xu, I know there is an authentic tunnel that can directly lead to the village.
"Well, authentic?" Xu Shijiu turned around suddenly, "Where did the authenticity come from?"
Jiuye said: "In the 19th year of the Central Plains War in the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang's generals Sun Liangcheng and Ji Hongchang attacked Shangqiu and Dangshan fiercely. Liu Zhi's troops were all shaken. At that time, Liu Zhi's command was located in Xiaozhuzhuang. In order to avoid being captured by the Northwest Army, Liu Zhi recruited thousands of strong men to dig tunnels overnight. The old man was also arrested and dug tunnels by himself."
"Where is the authentic entrance? Has it been occupied by the little Japanese?" Xu Shijiu asked anxiously.
Master Jiu shook his head and replied, "The entrance to the tunnel is not far from the Tudi Temple."
Xu Shijiu looked in the direction of Jiu Ye's finger, and saw that it was pitch black on the other side, obviously not occupied by the little Japanese. He turned around and ordered in a low voice: "Go away."
