The War of Resistance - #1315 - Chapter 1307: resurgence

It’s late August, and although it’s already afternoon, the weather is still hot.

“It’s so hot, don’t hide in a shady place, you must catch this cat.” On a bald mountain, a soldier grumbled in a low voice.

“Yes, yes.” Another soldier echoed, and then he glanced at the squad leader who was lying on his stomach a few meters away, “Squad leader, why don’t I get some branches and leaves?”

“Who do you think can grow branches and leaves on the big rock?” The squad leader said coldly.

“It can’t grow on rocks, but it can grow in the cracks of rocks. Not only can it grow branches, but monkeys can also pop out!” The first soldier raised his bar.

“If you don’t want to stay, go back to the platoon. I didn’t say you have to come up, anyone can go back!” said the squad leader.

The two noisy soldiers looked left and right, and there were ten squad leaders in their squad, but no one paid attention to them except the two of them.

The two looked at each other, but they didn’t dare to go back after all. One of them untied the water bottle from his waist.

It’s just that the weather is too hot, even though it’s only before ten o’clock in the morning, the temperature has already made the cold water he drank in the morning warm.

People in the Northeast are used to drinking cold water, especially in summer, the cooler the water, the better, although the water that was drunk at the time really quenched thirst and could not keep up with the sweaty boiled water that could be drunk.

“Drink water and shrink back, be careful that the little devil will burp you with a shot!” the squad leader scolded.

“How can there be such an inch?” The soldier who drank the water said unconvincedly, but finally shrank back.

They are soldiers of the 680th Regiment of the 337th Brigade, and they are currently performing security duties on the east bank of the Baisha River.

It has been more than half a month since the 337th Brigade arrived here.

Originally they thought that there would be a battle when they arrived, but it is said that the Japanese army marching westward was blocked by a certain Chinese army somewhere, so they were dragged back.

So until now they have not seen the shadow of the Japanese army.

Then the large troops naturally have to occupy favorable terrain to dig fortifications, and their company is responsible for the security task in front of the main position.

It’s just that the good places have been taken by large troops, and their squad as a guard post was sent by the company commander to this bare rocky mountain.

To say that this stone mountain is a good place to see the Japanese army that may come at any time, it is overlooking the open land ahead, and the east-west road is in the middle of that open land.

But the problem is that this stone mountain is too far ahead, and the short mountains behind are connected in a line, only this mountain is left alone in front like a stray lamb.

Moreover, because it is a rocky mountain, not to mention that there is no grass growing, but there is absolutely no place to enjoy the cool air. The stone becomes scorching hot when it is exposed to the sun in August, and the two soldiers are afraid that they will be roasted when the sun is full. cooked on top!

But their squad leader Ge Changli and the others couldn’t afford to mess with them.

Moreover, there were ten members of their squad, one squad leader and nine soldiers, but seven of them listened to Ge Changli’s words. If the two of them dared to blow up their hair, they would be the ones who would be punished and isolated in the end.

So the two of them could only endure it.

The entire Northeast Army is “wandering” in the pass, no one has a wife or children, and all they see every day are the faces of these men who are already too familiar. Why are you staying in this class?

Then transfer to another class, let alone think about it.

It’s like a migrant worker, if you get a good reputation in this unit, you can do well in another unit?

“Gudongdong”, the soldier hid behind the ridge line and raised his head to drink water. After drinking, he still forgot to call the squad leader Ge Changli: “Squad leader, would you like to have a sip?”

Squad leader Ge Changli was also thirsty. He glanced back and said angrily, “Don’t drink, I think you’ll be buried!”

The soldier muttered in a barely audible voice when he was bullied, and then hung the water bottle on his waist again.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly said: “It seems that there are devils!”

Just this one sentence made him tremble, but the kettle almost fell onto the big rock below him.

At this time, the other soldiers had already picked up their guns and looked forward.

“There, there is reflection there!” said the soldier who found the abnormal situation.

The sun was shining, and sure enough, following what the soldier pointed out, the people in their squad really saw the reflection on the other side of the open field.

In China nowadays, apart from mirrors that can reflect people’s shadows, it is difficult to find anything that can reflect light!

Just because most of the reflective objects are metal objects.

But now they were lying on their stomachs facing the east, and it was afternoon again, when the sunlight hit the smooth metal surface, it naturally shone the light.

“It’s the little devil’s helmet!” Ge Changli said in a deep voice.

When he was speaking, everyone noticed that the reflection was no longer in one place. Although it was not in one place, it seemed that there were always more than a dozen people.

“What should we do? Squad leader? Shoot now?” a soldier asked.

“Shooting gaha?” Ge Changli asked in surprise.

Although they saw the reflection on the other side of the open field, it must be four or five hundred meters away from them, and it was impossible to hit them based on their marksmanship.

“Shoot as a warning!” said the soldier.

“What is the warning? I don’t know how many troops the devils have come! Let’s see again.” Ge Changli said.

The soldier said “oh” and stopped talking, and they continued to observe the shining place.

It was only after a while that those reflective light spots moved, and they were heading in their direction.

After a while, those points of light were no longer visible due to the angle of sunlight reflection.

But there was no need to see it, because they had already stepped onto the open land in front of them when they saw a figure.

Ge Changli took out the broken binoculars he was wearing.

The telescope was seized by him from the battlefield. The lens on the left was broken, and the focusing wheel was also broken.

Because of this, the telescope cannot be focused, and the lens tube on the right is only clear when it is at a distance of more than 300 meters.

Ge Changli glanced at the position of the figure in front of him, and then raised the telescope, which can only be used with a single aperture.

After observing for a while, he said: “It’s the Japanese devils, but they should have come to scout the situation, there are twelve in total, and there must be cover behind them, I don’t know how many, and the number of troops is probably not too many.

Tiezi, go back and report. “

The soldier named Tie Zi responded with a cry, put away his gun and ran back to report.

“What should we do?” The soldier who drank water before asked ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ What should we do? Hit it! “Ge Changli said disapprovingly, “only a dozen devils can scare you into such a grandma?” “

“Just hit it, anyway, if you live up to now, you will get your life.” The soldier muttered habitually and pushed the bolt of the gun to start aiming.

He is afraid of suffering and the sun, but he is not afraid of death, just because he has seen a lot of dead people, and the only thing he knows is death—fear of death is useless!

A few minutes later, when the scouts of the Japanese army advanced to more than a hundred meters away from the rocky mountain, gunshots rang out on the mountain.

Amidst the gunfire, although several Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, the remaining Japanese soldiers did not retreat in a hurry. Instead, they looked for a place to hide and started shooting up the mountain.

A battle that couldn’t really be described as large-scale took place just like this, like the beginning of a great war.
