Chapter 22: Battle of Jiulongjiang (Sixth)

"Rumbling..." As expected, as I expected, a roar like thunder came from the sky. More than a dozen Mustang fighters protected several big guys, and they walked out of the clouds and appeared in the sight of the volunteers.

"Bombardment, b-29!" I was shocked when I saw the huge figures of nearly ten b-29s in the sky.

This B-29 bomber was recognized as the best performer in World War II, and the Americans called it a super safeguard. It was this bomber that the United States launched the famous Tokyo air strike, achieving millions of Japanese casualties at a very small cost, not including the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki...

It seems that the enemy is determined this time. The previous bombing was just to occupy the stone bridge and prevent the stone bridge from being blown up by us. But now, their goal is obviously to occupy the high grounds we guard.

"Secretly hidden..."

The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger. The volunteers did not know how powerful the B-29 was. At first glance, they only had about twenty planes the same as last time, so they didn't take it seriously. They all returned to their single-body air raid shelter calmly.

But I know that for a b-29 with a load capacity of nine tons, this simple single-body air raid shelter is far from enough. When they went in, they didn't know how many people could get out. But what could I do? I also ran back and got into my air raid shelter, and there was no better hidden place except here.

Listening to the increasingly loud "rumbling" sound in the sky, the scene of napalm bomb burning suddenly flashed in my mind, so I untied the quilt as quickly as possible, hurried out of the hole and shoveled a few snow bags in the quilt, and when I hid in, I used the quilt to block the hole.

As soon as I hid, a terrifying roar came from the sky. In modern war films, I have seen many scenes of bombers carrying out carpet bombing the ground. I didn't expect that this trip would be experienced once, and it was the one who was bombed.

"boom……"

The ground was shaking, and the soil on the top of my head kept falling down, and the wooden sticks supporting the air-raid shelter creaked and kept ringing. The last bombing could feel the interruption, but this time, the shock was like an earthquake, one after another. Then another heat wave came, and several flames penetrated into the gap between the quilts. I realized that it was the enemy's gasoline bomb. At this time, I suddenly felt difficult to breathe, and then I remembered another powerful place of the napalm bomb, which was to instantly consume the oxygen in the air and suffocate the enemy to death. So I hurriedly used the soil and the quilt to block all the gaps at the entrance of the hole, and preserve as much air in the hole as possible.

After a long time, I couldn't hold it in the cave anymore. Without waiting for the bombing, the sound of cannon stopped and pushed open the quilt. A pungent burnt smell came to my face, mixed with a disgusting smell of barbecue. But I didn't care about this at all, and rushed out of the cave and gasped heavily. Only at this point did I realize how important the air that I usually don't care about is.

When I recovered and looked around, I realized that the whole world had changed.

The fire was raging, and all the nearby trees ignited a fire. When the north wind blew, the flames of the branches jumped violently, and the entire high ground looked like a huge torch. The snow on the hillside had long disappeared, and there was a wet area everywhere. It was supposed to be a high hill, but now it had become a depression, and a small hill appeared in the empty space. The fortifications built by the volunteers were beyond recognition, and only a small ditch could vaguely tell that it was once a trench.

"Company Commander..."

"Old squad leader..."

"Hu Zi..."

Amid the sound of cannons, I called out the names of my comrades one by one, but no one answered me, and there was a silence around me. I quickly ran to an air-raid shelter next to me, and digged the soil in front of the hole with my hands like crazy. The soil was very wet and loose, and it was dug through in a short while. I was delighted and pulled the person inside out with one hand. But the burned corpse appeared in front of me was a burnt corpse, which scared me to sit on the ground and was stunned for a long time but couldn't speak.

I was scared. The suffering and fatigue I suffered for the past two days, and the threat of death, appeared in front of my eyes one by one, making me tremble all over my body; I wanted to leave here, no matter what method, whether it was running away, deliberately injured or pretending to be dead, as long as I could leave this ghost place, even if the enemy came up to kill me, it was a relief; I wanted to go home, I wanted to go back to that peaceful era without smoke, blood, and killing...

"What's wrong, Platoon Commander Cui? Is the lottery going on?" At some point, Company Commander Zhang was already standing next to him.

"Company...Company Commander!" I came to my senses only when I was so happy: "You... aren't you dead yet?"

"Bad! Can you stand here and talk to you when you die?" Company Commander Zhang said angrily.

"Hu Zi, Platoon Leader Zhao, Old Squad Leader, Xiaoshandong...you, are you still alive?"

"I'm talking about Comrade Cui." Zhao Yongxin joked: "Look at you, you were not stupid when you bombed the bridge, why are you confused now? You won't let the American plane blow up your head!"

"Zhao Yongxin!" Company Commander Zhang lowered his face and said, "What kind of enemy is a mess? Don't talk nonsense!"

"yes!"

"Company Commander!" At this time, Xiao Shandong shouted: "The enemy is coming!"

"Prepare for the battle!" Captain Zhang took out his box gun and entered the front line without saying a word. The other soldiers also followed with guns. I was the only one sitting there alone, not knowing what to do.

There were more than forty people, and there were only more than forty people left. There were only more than forty people entering the front line. Although only two days were only two days, I know them. As long as they were still breathing, they would never give up fighting. Therefore, more than one hundred people who did not enter the front line either sacrificed or were injured and unable to move. That was more than one hundred lives, more than one hundred comrades, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. How could they think that nothing had happened?

"beat!"

The gunshots rang out again, but I didn't react to all this. I didn't know how to be afraid or hide. I just walked towards the position in a daze.

"Let's go down!" A figure threw me to the ground. Almost at the same time, a grenade exploded not far away, and the huge explosion made my ears buzz.

After a long time, the warrior who threw me down still didn't move. I seemed to realize something. I turned around and sat up. Only then did I realize that the warrior's back was blown to pieces.

"Why?" Looking at my comrades lying in a pool of blood and my hands covered with blood, I felt like crying without tears.

"Company Commander, there are no bullets!"

"Grenade."

"The grenades are gone, either!"

"Battles..."

The Volunteer Army had not much ammunition, not to mention that there was a battle before that. Now it was time to run out of ammunition and food, but the enemy continued to pour into the high ground. About two companies had hundreds of puppet troops, surrounding the high ground with only more than forty volunteer soldiers.

"Comrades, for the sake of the New China and Chairman Mao!" A soldier suddenly jumped out of the trench with a blasting tube and rushed towards the enemy. With a loud bang, more than 20 puppet troops were bombed into the sky. The air waves of the blasting tube exploded shocked the entire puppet army to the ground.

"Comrades." Company Commander Zhang raised the box gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "Avenge Comrade Shi Baoshan, kill!"

"Kill..." More than forty volunteer soldiers rushed towards more than 200 puppet soldiers with their sharp bayonets. Their eyes burst into hatred for the invaders, their roars showed endless aura, and their bayonets ruthlessly pierced the enemy's chest...

The puppet army was frightened by this scene. They all retreated involuntarily. At this time, an unbelievable scene appeared on the 121 Highland. More than 40 volunteers chased the two companies of puppet troops with bayonets alone. Behind the puppet troops, there was nearly a regiment of troops escorting the formation.
