Chapter 39 Lonely Mountain

The sound of killing on the battlefield was loud, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce.Gunpowder smoke filled the entire mountain, and the sound of gunfire was deafening. As soon as a young soldier went up to meet him with a submachine gun, he was shot in the chest by an enemy bullet. Large swaths of blood gushed out and sprayed onto the dry land, condensing into red spots one by one. pit.

When blood stains mountains and rivers red, you will know that human beings are no different from other life in this world.

You can't imagine how terrifying the body that is still squirming in the bloody mess is. Xiangxiang's face is pale and pale, even his lips have lost the color of blood, as if he would faint on the ground at any time.Perhaps people in that era were used to seeing death, so they didn't have much feeling about the passing of life, "Death is lighter than a feather, but heavier than Mount Tai", as long as death is worthwhile, it is enough.But Xiangxiang is different. The society he grew up in is stable and peaceful, and people's daily life is far from death. Even though he has the consciousness to contribute to the victory of the revolution in his heart, he has never reached the level of dedicating his life for it.

He was the battalion commander, and although he didn't need to take the lead in the charge, he couldn't run away. He hid in a bunker in a ditch, and Xiangxiang was half covered by the dust raised by the shell explosion.

The first regiment was fighting fiercely with the enemy. Qian Dajun, the head of the second regiment, felt that although the first regiment was fighting fiercely with the enemy, it could not be concluded that the enemy's main attack direction was the first regiment. Deployed in the direction of the second regiment, then you can't take the team up recklessly, so even though you came to the front line, you didn't move.

The situation of a group fighting alone made the student troops below very worried, and they immediately called for a fight.

Hu Zongnan was a company commander under the Xiangxiang Battalion. The short man threw his gun angrily, and said sharply, "Is he just watching a group being wiped out like this!"

Another company commander asked Xiangxiang for instructions: "Battle Commander, we can't sit still and wait for death. What's the difference between this and a turtle with a shrinking head? Let me take my brothers to kill them. Brothers say yes!"

The young man's expression was so fiery and determined that the surrounding soldiers seemed to be infected, holding up their guns and shouting in unison: "Kill it! Kill it!"

Xiangxiang was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled a little. Fortunately, his face was ashamed, and no one could see that half of his body was hidden deep in the ditch, and he didn't dare to stick his head out of the ditch. At this moment, he was speechless in a daze. He just looked blankly at the soldiers around him.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed Xiangxiang's arm and lifted him up from the ground. The man frowned and shouted at him: "Du Liangyu! Du Liangyu!"

The buzzing sound in his ears subsided a bit, Xiangxiang came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Lie in front of him, and said stumbledly: "I, we haven't received an order, so we can't act without authorization, otherwise we will be disobeying the military order."

Xiao Lie ignored Xiangxiang's words, but turned around and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, Captain Qian is afraid that there will be a large enemy army ambushing ahead, so he dare not lead the troops forward. But I have been on the front line these days to investigate After a long time, according to my observation, there is no possibility that there will be any redundant enemy troops ahead, if you believe me, follow Battalion Commander Du to fight there and help a group out of trouble."

After hearing this, the soldiers became full of momentum, and they were all ready to go.Xiangxiang was about to object, but was blocked by Xiao Lie's cold eyes. His tone was very strong, with a hint of strength that could not be refuted, and he whispered in Xiangxiang's ear: "We must rush up, if we don't go , by the end of the day, your entire battalion will be implicated because Commander Qian escaped before the battle, don’t you still want a high official and generous salary? If you want it, you must go!”

"Listen up!" Xiao Lie's tone suddenly changed, he summoned the surrounding private captains very seriously and said: "Look at the terrain here? Does it look familiar?"

Several private captains were thoughtful, looked up and looked around, suddenly someone shot a gun and shouted excitedly: "This is clearly the 'Sly Rabbit's Three Caves'!"

"That's right!" The other team leader seemed to have seen something, looked at Xiangxiang excitedly and said, "Didn't Commander Du mention this kind of terrain in the past class?" Dead ears', there are stone walls everywhere around the earth mountain, which should be used to cover people's eyes and ears."

The rest of the people suddenly became enlightened, and some people showed a smile on their faces, and they did not hide their eagerness to try.

The three companies were each used as an attacking unit. Two of the teams were scattered around the stone wall at the foot of the mountain in a guerrilla manner. The third team was divided into two groups. One group was used as a lure to pretend to be reinforcements, and the other group was in place to cover .When the enemy is drawn in, the lures will withdraw quickly, and the guerrillas from all directions will be the main attack. After breaking them up, they will quickly change the location of the encirclement and suppression.

After Xiangxiang went to the front line, he became a soft-footed shrimp, and was half-dragged and moved by Xiao Lie. Xiangxiang thought that Xiao Lie was taking revenge on him and wanted to kill him. He tried to escape several times and was pulled back.

The position was very dangerous, the enemy had plenty of grenades, and they guarded the high ground to rely on in case of danger, so when a shell exploded around, Xiangxiang once thought that his life would be lost.At that moment, he thought of his previous life, maybe all of this was just a dream, when I woke up and went home, the blood in my limbs seemed to flow away, my heart became hot, with a slight trembling.

Staring blankly at Xiao Lie covering his body, Xiangxiang's brain went blank, some blood was flowing on the gray single-shirt military uniform, but it wasn't his own blood, the bright red color seemed to be ten times stronger than usual, piercing Eyes hurt.

Xiao Lie pressed Xiang Xiang's head and said: "Protect your head, lie down and don't move!"

Where did he hurt?Is it serious?Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Lie whose military uniform was gradually dyed red, and his heart went blank.

The sound of the explosion passed, and the man above asked softly, "Are you scared?"

Then he suddenly sneered: "You can't get anything just by talking."

This was the most difficult time for the regiment to fight. The addition of the second battalion's new force effectively relieved the pressure on the regiment's front. If it came a step later and the enemy completely occupied the high ground, the consequences would be disastrous.At dusk, the enemy army could no longer hold on, and a regiment began to attack in an all-round way. Many swarms swarmed up with their weapons. The two sides fought fiercely on both sides of the highland. The sound of impact was mixed.The enemies who rushed to the front were beaten to pieces, with many casualties.Before the enemies from behind surged up, they were cut off by the soldiers of the second battalion scattered around from the oblique side, and all of them were wiped out with the help of a regiment.In this battle, the Whampoa Army Teaching Corps was outnumbered and sacrificed a lot, and finally won the victory, while the Second Battalion led by Xiangxiang became famous.

When Jiang heard that Qian Dajun was afraid of the enemy before the battle, he was furious when he met him and did not move. At that time, apart from Qian Dajun and the other two battalion commanders, he changed Xiangxiang to be fully responsible for the commander of the second teaching regiment.

The flames of war ceased, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, picked up weapons, carried away corpses, and buried blood, as if there had never been a tragic war here. Humans are used to covering up their mistakes, thinking that it is easy to let the crimes they committed disappear from sight. forget all.The smoky sky seemed to turn crimson under the torchlight, and the last ray of purple sun disappeared from the horizon.

Beside the fire, Xiao Lie was leaning against a rock. The field doctor was staunching his bleeding. A half-inch-long bomb fragment was embedded in his back shoulder blade. At that moment, he bit his spear and let out a long and painful cry.

After the operation was over, he lay weakly on a stretcher, closed his eyes tightly, as if he had fallen asleep, but he could see from his clenched fists that he was in severe pain, so he just gritted his teeth and endured it.

Xiangxiang took a glass of water, moistened his lips, and sat quietly beside him.Xiao Lie opened his eyes, smiled at Xiangxiang, and said, "I seem to have saved your life again, what are you going to use to even me out this time?"

Xiangxiang said gruffly, "Did I do something wrong? I feel like I'm sorry for you."

Xiao Lie laughed: "You are really stupid."

Xiangxiang felt a little pain in his heart, he said: "I am the most confused and ignorant person, but I feel bad in my heart, I shouldn't, I would rather be a fool for the rest of my life."

Xiao Lie said: "I know you don't like it, but I am willing to stay with you forever."

Xiangxiang lowered his head and did not answer.

Xiao Lie closed his eyes, and smiled weakly: "I won't force others to do things to me anymore, you can go."

……

On the second day, the Huangpu Army continued to pursue the remnants of the enemy and defeated all the defeated troops.The next day, all the Whampoa student army gathered to give lectures.Liao Zhongkai, who came to work in the army, rewarded each regiment with 1000 yuan on behalf of the Central Committee, and said excitedly: "I came here with the order of the Central Committee to comfort you and reward you, just in time for this great victory. The Prime Minister went to You once wanted to train the school into a revolutionary army, and you really deserve this title."

It turned out that Mr. Sun, who was seriously ill at the time, learned that the Eastern Expeditionary Army with the Whampoa Military Academy Teaching Corps as the backbone had won successive victories in the first Eastern Expedition. He sent a special telegram to the military academy to express his congratulations and asked President Jiang to cherish Huangpu Students, don't sacrifice Whampoa students easily, rather lose a battalion than a military school student.

When Mr. Liao read the telegram sent by Mr. Sun to the students, all the students were moved to tears.
