Rise From Eight Hundred

As the only student soldier allowed to crawl with the guard platoon to approach Xiaozhuang Village, Fang Shiheng, who was crawling on the ground and looking at the crowd in the small village, felt a fire burning in his heart, burning his heart as if it had dried up.

But this painful feeling that almost made his whole body twitch was not started a few minutes ago when he saw the Japanese waving their hands to let the wolfhounds bite through the telescope of the guard platoon leader Lao Hei.

To be precise, it should have started two hours ago.

Fang Shiheng is a top student of Tan Tai Yunshu. He has learned the true skills of landscape painting from Tan Tai Yunshu. If it were a peaceful and prosperous era, he should have become a good young painter. After time's experience, he might even have the opportunity to surpass his teacher's achievements.

But the war came, and the country was in danger. Fang Shiheng hoped to contribute to his country, just as he passionately preached to Tang Dao and his classmates in the valley, he was willing to die to fight the invaders.

He and his nine companions had put life and death aside from the moment they signed up for the "Bayonet" plan. The dangerous mountain roads at night, sweating and stumbling all the way, could not extinguish the blazing fire in his heart and the outstanding young people from different departments.

Until he witnessed death with his own eyes...

It was the death of his compatriots.

The small village they rushed for four hours to reach was full of white flags, and the open space was filled with thin wooden coffins nailed with door panels. The villagers who had been keeping vigil all night looked at their own people in military uniforms, not happy, not sad, but numb.

The leader Lao Hei came out to ask briefly and learned that the whole village had been looted by the Japanese army during the day. Because they asked about the news of the Chinese wounded, the Japanese massacred five families and robbed all the wealth of the village.

There were more than 20 bloody lives on the rice field. In order to prove their cruelty, the brutal Japanese army did not even let go of three-year-old children.

Death was so straightforwardly presented in front of Fang Shiheng, and a fire rose in Fang Shiheng's heart, burning him so much that his breath was almost hot.

The villagers were numb on the surface to the arrival of these soldiers. In fact, Fang Shiheng could feel that there was even fear and hatred hidden in their eyes in the darkness.

They were of the same race, but they hid fear and hatred. What a sad thing!

But who can blame them? They were originally just living peacefully on this peaceful land, but when the war came, they faithfully fulfilled their promise, collected the rewards, hid the wounded, and paid the painful price of several families being slaughtered.

And all this was caused by the failure of their own army on the front line. The soldiers who were supposed to defend the country not only failed to protect them, but also caused the root cause of this tragedy.

The elite and students of the independent camp re-entered the darkness with grief and shame.

Fortunately, in the early morning, they received a telegram from the cavalry platoon, saying that a group of Japanese troops were advancing towards Xiaozhuang Village, three kilometers away, and the guard platoon and student soldiers quickly chased after them.

The fire that never went out in their chests became the source of power that supported Fang Shiheng and his students. They had never received formal military training, but they were able to keep up with the pace of the guard platoon in such a rapid march after running six or seven kilometers on the mountain road, although three of them fainted from exhaustion just before they arrived.

However, they were still late. The Japanese had driven the villagers to the empty small rice field and surrounded them with rifles and machine guns.

Lao Hei, who quietly approached the periphery of Xiaozhuang Village 300 meters away, could only order the entire army not to move rashly, otherwise the villagers pointed at by the machine guns would be the first to suffer once the battle started.

They came to kill the Japanese troops in this small-scale activity, not to let the innocent villagers be the Japanese sacrifice.

Fang Shiheng could understand this reason, but when he saw with his own eyes that the Japanese army was letting their dogs bite the old man through the telescope, he could no longer bear it.

"Platoon Leader Wu, the Japanese are about to start slaughtering the villagers, why don't you start? You are committing a crime! You are killing people!" Fang Shiheng almost roared in his voice to accuse the lieutenant who was staring at the distance with an expressionless face.

"I don't know if I have committed a crime, but I am sure that if your voice alarms the wolfhound of the Japanese army, those villagers will lose their lives forever because of you?" Lao Hei glanced at the student leader whose eyes were slightly red, and whispered coldly.

Fang Shiheng was stunned. He knew that the lieutenant was not exaggerating.

Fang Shiheng stole a glance at "Hammer" who was crouching in the grass more than 20 meters away.

He didn't know how terrible the hearing of dogs was, but the big dog called "Hammer" gave him this scientific common sense.

Compared with dogs, human hearing is nothing.

The 300 student soldiers of the student company not only wore military uniforms, but also had weapons and equipment distributed according to the standard. Each of them had a Japanese-style Type 38 rifle, and there were also 9 light machine guns. However, the ammunition was not unpacked. Only in emergencies would the student soldiers who were still familiar with the firearms be allowed to use them. A telescope, an auxiliary device, was also distributed.

Fang Shiheng took the newly issued telescope and looked around curiously. Then, he saw the big dog that came out of the forest at least 200 meters away from him. Gu Yan

‘What a big dog! ’ Fang Shiheng subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice.

Then, in the field of vision of the telescope, the native dog that had just jumped out of the forest with a hare in its mouth glanced this way.

Yes, it’s a glance!

In the field of view of the telescope, he could clearly see the look of the large Chinese garden dog looking at him. After giving him a disdainful glance, he spread out his four legs and ran wildly before disappearing again.

His instinct told him that the dog must have heard his voice and thought he was strange.

But that is a distance of more than 200 meters!

If, as the army lieutenant said, the Japanese army shot and killed the villagers because of his carelessness, then he will never forgive himself in his life, and even death will not be able to eliminate it.

"I'm sorry!" The handsome young man's face turned red and his voice was as low as a mosquito apologizing.

He dared to accuse a strong man like Tang Dao to his face, but because the most ordinary villager apologized to Tang Dao's subordinates, it seemed that his words and deeds were inconsistent, but it could make someone like Lao Hei feel the sincerity in the heart of this extremely proud scholar.

Wei Wei sighed: "Boy, this is the battlefield. For the final victory, the first thing you have to learn is to wait for the most suitable fighter opportunity. It's not that we are doing nothing, but we are waiting for Gu Xishui's two A special operations team is looking for good fighters, and we will wait until Niu Er and the others are sure to kill the two Japanese machine gunners before we can officially start the operation. Otherwise, not one or two villagers will die, but all of them. Do you understand?"

Fang Shiheng nodded fiercely.

He understood the truth, but with the brutal gunfire of the Japanese army, two more villagers fell down, right in front of him.

Fang Shiheng's fingers dug hard into the withered grass where he was hiding, and he buried his head without daring to look ahead. At this moment, he understood to some extent the pain and helplessness of the army colonel he had accused.

It's not that he didn't dare to die, but he didn't want to see his men fall to the guns of the Japanese army because they were outnumbered and lacked ammunition reserves!

Just like him now, he can only watch helplessly, and the hand that can draw magnificent mountains and rivers can only grasp the land helplessly.

Fortunately, the reflection on the mirror lit up in the distance, which should be the signal from the fair-faced Army second lieutenant.

The guard platoon can approach the village and start operations.

"I ask for action together!" Fang Shiheng tried his best to lower his voice and asked for help.

"If you don't obey orders and die in battle, I will be whipped!" Lao Hei stared at him for a long time before leaving these words.

Fang Shiheng became the only student soldier who could follow the soldiers of the guard platoon. The other nine students were required to stand by with a guard squad on the outside of the battlefield.

Their task is equally arduous, and they are responsible for killing Japanese infantry who have slipped through the net.

Lao Hei didn't need to say a military order not to stay. Leaving the village filled with more than 20 thin coffins had already become inevitable.

The battle started when the guard platoon approached as close as 150 meters away.

The Japanese wolf green dog heard a strange noise in the distance.

Okamoto Asahiro, who was about to wave his hand and order to be shot, only had time to turn his head and look into the distance, his horrified eyes still jumping deep in his pupils.

"boom!"

The sudden gunshot sounded like thunder in everyone's ears! …
