Chapter 45 Last hour

Red, black, with the smell of sulfur. This is the color and taste of the river. Countless shells fell from the sky with wind and fire, the shrapnel tore the air, and the smoke from the explosion was almost suffocating.

The trenches of the Guards lying in the trenches that seemed to have been flattened. Although the tattered military uniforms torn by shell shock waves or gravel were not uncovered, they rolled up the cotton, suffocated by the fireworks, and then the suffocated cotton was extinguished by the dust. The soldiers nested in the trenches, a Waiting quietly for the enemy's attack after the shelling.

When they endured the invasion of artillery fire, more and more soldiers began to attack at the foot of the mountain. Koga did not charge towards the mountain in a scattered line like his comrades-in-arms. In terms of terrain, he knew that he was in an extremely unfavorable situation. The enemy only showed his head from the trenches. Shooting, they are completely exposed to the fire net to attack. In order to survive, he chose to charge forward under the cover of trees and rocks.

"At the end of the shelling, I don't know how many people will die!"

When such an idea came up in Gu He's heart, the roar of shells that once cut through the sky suddenly disappeared.

Oh no!

At the same time, the fire whip fired by the heavy machine gun set in the mountainside machine gun fort covered the enemy squirming towards the top of the mountain like a wave, but the navy blue wave was still moving quickly in a straight line. From time to time, someone was knocked down, but it could not stop the surging courage of the wave, and more guns joined in. This cheerful massacre. .

When Gu He looked up at the taze of the light passing by his side, he immediately ran towards another rock. As soon as he roared, he heard a few crisp sounds from the rock.

Huh... Taking a deep breath, Gu He was glad that he kept the order again. Pulling it down should be throwing thunder!

I have participated in the four waves of attack on the ancient frame. I know that the most effective weapon in the hands of the Chinese army is the kind of thunderbolts and machine guns that explode when thrown down, especially the thunderbolts, which are thrown from the head, which is almost difficult to move.

"Grenade!"

When Gu He heard the scream, he knew that something like a black stone must have been thrown in the enemy's trench. The tail of the thing dragged a white smoke. If it fell on the hillside, it would roll down and make a hissing sound. Then there was an explosion, raising a cloud of smoke and dust. When the smoke and dust dispersed. After that, the comrades-in-arms were covered with blood, and the wounded soldiers groaned everywhere.

He is no stranger to all this!

Finally, after a long-awaited explosion, when the wounded soldiers moaned, Gu He, who had been hiding behind the rock, suddenly jumped out. He knew that the distance should be only more than 50 meters now, and now he will wait for more than 50 meters.

"Long live the emperor!"

A deafening shout burst out from Koga's voice. He rushed to the bottom of the mountain with a gun as if he were crazy. A bullet seemed to avoid him. After he rushed more than ten meters, the Japanese soldier who had avoided the explosion immediately followed him.

"Long live the emperor!"

rushed towards the position of the Chinese army.

In the eyes of Shi Jingde on the mountain, this was a young and ferocious face. He looked at the approaching enemy and listened to the sound of the disappearing machine gun. It was changing the magazine or the barrel. There was only one idea left in his mind, and he must not let himself take his position.

"For China!"

When he pulled up his rifle and jumped out of the trench, Shi Jingde did not shout slogans such as "Long Live the Emperor", but shouted another slogan, which was far more shocking than Long Live the Emperor. Everyone in [***] knew what would happen if this battle was defeated.

China will cede land to pay compensation!

"For China!"

In a roar, more than 20 soldiers rushed to hundreds of soldiers without hesitation.

"Long live the emperor!"

When Koga was only two or three meters away from the trench, a gray figure suddenly jumped out of the seemingly flattened trench. The lightning rushed out of the shadow followed by a figure, and the gray shadow rushing in front of him rushed directly towards him.

He rushed over with a bayonet, like a tiger going down the mountain, and went to his goal. It was the Japanese soldier who launched the charge. He also rushed towards him with a bayonet. When he rushed down the hillside, he took advantage of the charge to block the other party's knife, a fierce downward pressure, and was stained with blood into a black thorn. In the flash of the morning light, the knife only poked into the chest of the Japanese soldier. The bayonet fell into the chest and fell into the handle. The tiger's rush down the mountain made the bayonet penetrate the human body too fast, so that Shi Jingde stabilized his feet with this momentum that he would nail the man to the ground, and then stirred the gun fiercely. Every time The agitation can cause that person to tremble.

"Mom..."

Gu He, who was pierced in the chest by a bayonet, lay on the ground until he died. He didn't figure it out. Obviously, he had already calculated everything, but why... He lay there without an answer, looking at the Chinese soldiers who were beating and roaring "for China", like a tiger going down the mountain. Collect the enemy's life with a bayonet.

"Wo..."

At this moment, the sound of shells broke through the air, and the artillery at the foot of the mountain ignored the troops attacking at the foot of the mountain, and there was a burst of sweeping shelling at the mountain.

"Cannon strike!"

As soon as he heard Shi Jingde's voice in the air, he left the soldier in front of him and suddenly rolled into a crater next to him, "Baby!"

Just as the shell was about to fall, Big Zhao looked at the baby who was still working hard with a Japanese soldier. He shouted and rushed at him. The next moment, after dozens of explosions, Big Zhao's body blocked the countless splashed shrapnel, "Big man!"

When pushing away the blood-blooded big man Zhao on his body, Li Dawa cried. From dawn to now, two big brothers have lost their lives to protect him.

At this time, he even forgot to fight, but the big man Zhao, who was half blown up, was crying there.

Liang Zhu got up from the pool of blood and found that his intestines were flowing out. He stuffed his intestines into his stomach with his hand, covered his stomach with his left hand, and raised a submachine gun on the ground with his right hand to sweep a box of bullets in the direction of the Japanese soldier who had just stood up. He saw a Japanese soldier next to him struggling in the blood. , the butt of the gun was smashed on his head. At this time, the machine gun on the position shouted happily, and the Japanese army killed and injured in the counterattack bayonet and artillery was repulsed.

Seeing that the enemy was repelled, he was about to stand up and fell down with a bang, and he could no longer get up. Lying on the land softened by shells, he saw the moustache lying in a pool of blood next to him. He climbed over with difficulty and took out a bandage to bandage for him, but his body was full of injuries, and Liang Zhu's hand was so disopermissive.

"Little... Little Beard!"

Hearing the monitor's call, the little beard struggled to open his eyes and say in a weak voice, "Sir... sir, I'm so thirsty!" He took off the military kettle, which was full of bullet holes, and the water had already leaked. He raised the kettle and looked at the light passing through the kettle. Liang Zhu smiled bitterly. He couldn't stand it any longer. He fell on his beard. Two soldiers, you leaned against me, and I pillowed you. Slowly, their eyes were not bright.

"There are still a few airy ones!"

Spitting dust, Shi Jingde stood up from the crater and shouted a word to the side.

"Big Zhao!"

No one answered.

"Beard!"

"Liang...pillar!"

Shi Jingde, whose ears were shaken by the shells, shouted. For a long time, there was no echo. Tears slid down his face like rain. After a morning, he changed from a platoon leader to a company commander, but what about his brothers in his platoon?

Big Zhao, Ma Daha, Liang Zhu, Xiaobeard... Familiar faces will disappear.

Just as he shouted in despair, Shi Jingde saw a thin body, dragging half of his body and pulling in the direction of the trench. Looking at the other side of the trench, most of the brothers in the trench were still angry.

" Company commander, company commander, I... I'm still alive..."

"Good...good..."

Shi Jingde wiped his tears and looked at the strange faces in the trenches. These were all added in half a day. Many of them were logistics soldiers. His line was over, and his company was over.

He listened to the dense gunfire from the other side of the mountain, and the battle there continued, which meant that he could not get any more supplement here.

Taking out his pocket watch, Shi Jingde looked at the time at 10:15 a.m.

Five hours!

"With a tone, report the number!"

"One, two, three... twenty-two"

Twenty seconds later, the living person finished the count, and Shi Jingde muttered the last number.

"22, 22,"

"Big boy, go and pick up some bullets. We don't have many bullets!"

"It's sir!"

When the eldest child went to pick up bullets in the corpses, Shi Jingde looked at the brother who was still alive in front of him and swallowed first.

"Brothers, there is less than an hour left. As long as we hold on for more than half an hour, that is, two bags of cigarettes, even if we have completed the task, we will rely on the brothers to fill it with their lives. It's not easy for brothers. I know, I just ask everyone to grit our teeth and hold on for another hour. By noon..."

When Shi Jingde stood up, his body shook. He had no strength for a long time, but he still wanted to stand up and encourage his brothers.

"S sir, don't worry!"

The first-class soldier with a light machine gun took a look at the officer.

"If we can hold on, it's nothing more than..."

He didn't finish, but people all know what they want to hold on. If they hold on for another minute, they will hold on with their lives. But when they get to this point, they don't have to hold on with their lives.

"As long as we have a living person standing here, we can't lose the position, understand?"

Just as Shi Jingde gave this order, a messenger ran over with a gasp.
