Beacon 1937

Chapter 26: Battle of Songhu Part [-]

There are no civilians left in the entire northern area. Some of them became refugees after the bombing, and some of the houses in good condition moved out after the news of the national army's retreat spread.So it was natural that I didn't see the Li family father and son in Danji Rentang, but the door of the pharmacy was wide open, which still made Aiwen puzzled.

The company commander walked in front of him and carefully observed the backyard with his gun raised, while the medics walking behind him were vigilant about the rear.

They found the well in the courtyard. Although tampering with people's homes was shameful and violated military discipline, the company commander and the others were really thirsty, and even Ivan couldn't help but drink a few sips. The well water in November is even colder, but how can people who are thirsty care about this?

The company commander and the medics checked all the rooms separately, and walked back to Aiwen after making sure it was safe.

"It's strange, there is no one in the whole house, but there is rice on the stove, which is still freshly cooked!" The medical soldier walked back and whispered.

"..." Ai Wen was startled, did the Li family father and son not leave?They weren't in the house, but the fire was hot, and the only possibility was that they were in the basement.

"Doctor, where is the place you mentioned?" the company commander asked.

"...It's in the kitchen."

Hearing this, the company commander and the medical soldiers were shocked, apparently they also had the answer to that pot of rice.

"Maybe... we can explain to this family and agree to let us enter the basement too? Doctor, you know them, let alone a soldier, so you can say what is most appropriate." The company commander said to Ivan.

"Okay." Ai Wen nodded in agreement, and then walked to the kitchen room, the two of them followed closely.

"...Can I...can I have some rice?" The medical soldier stared at the hot rice pot on the stove, salivating.

"No! We've already drank their well water, so we can no longer eat their food. Besides, this family must still be there, so how can we move around like this?" the company commander quickly scolded.

In fact, Aiwen also wanted to eat two bites, and he was really hungry.During the three months in the field hospital, he has long been used to this new staple food.There it was impossible for the cooking class to bake additional bread for him and Dr. Friedrich, and in fact they didn't know how to do it.

Ivan looked at the cupboard, and it was indeed removed.If there were no people below, the cupboard must be above the entrance.

He knelt down and knocked on the door on the ground, waiting for a long time without any movement.

"Could there be no one there?" the medical soldier asked suddenly.

"Impossible! Otherwise, could this pot of rice be cooked by ghosts?" The company commander said angrily, "It must be because of fear that he refused to answer the door."

"...I'll go down and have a look." Ai Wen suddenly opened the door of the lower room without waiting for the company commander's consent.When he went down the stairs, he heard a loud noise of Japanese mixed in outside.

"It's a devil! There is probably one class (Note [-])." The medical soldier carefully poked his probe, and then whispered.

"Doctor, hide below!" The company commander quickly ordered to Ivan in a low voice.

"Hurry up and hide in!"

"No! If it's all down, no one will cover the entrance to the basement! It's easy to be discovered by devils, they are not fools!"

Of course Aiwen knew that everyone couldn't go down, but there were only two of them, how would they deal with a squad of enemies?

"The enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. What's more, we still have ammunition and a few grenades. A squad is nothing. Get down to the doctor! You will only get in the way!"

The company commander was right, a doctor couldn't do anything at this time, he would just keep them tied up.So Ivan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately closed the door.

In order not to make a sound, the company commander and the medics didn't push the cupboard over, but lifted it together and gently placed it on the entrance.

Aiwen, who was walking down the stairs, found Li Ran hiding in the basement, but he didn't see Li Xiangrong.

Li Ran had obviously been staring at Ai Wen for a long time, his face was full of surprise, as if he just recognized who it was.He opened his mouth and wanted to call him, but Ai Wen immediately put his index finger on his lips to signal him to silence.

At this time, the sound of a gun battle came from above, and Li Ran was so frightened that she stood still and did not dare to move.Due to the thin floor, Ivan could hear it clearly even standing at the stairs.

Gunshots continued, but it seemed that the Japanese army had not been able to approach the cooking room.Immediately afterwards, it seemed that someone from our side threw a grenade, and there was a huge explosion sound from a distance in an instant.Alvin couldn't help squatting down.

However, it was only quiet for a few seconds when he suddenly heard something rolling over on the floor above.

"Hidden...!"

The company commander's roar came clearly.Aiwen immediately realized that this sentence was not shouted to the medical soldiers, but to them underground!

He immediately hugged Li Ran and wanted to prostrate on the ground, but just as he hugged him, the explosion came, shaking them directly to the ground.A part of the wall was broken into stones and hit Ai Wen's body, and another piece hit his head directly, making his eyes go black and he lost consciousness...
