War is so cruel. It will not be biased towards one side just because of who is just. The piles of corpses at the intersection of the street can effectively prove this!

Chapter 28 Street Intersection (the first update today)

Screams came after screams. The soldiers carefully inspected every Japanese army lying on the ground, and the bayonets kept picking and stabbing the dead or dying Japanese. Of course, among them, there were occasionally a few Japanese who pretended to be dead jumping from the ground to ignite the grenades...

But unfortunately, before the Japanese army could pull the string, several bayonets pierced into his body. At such a close distance, bayonets were more effective than grenades. The bayonet only took the blink of an eye to kill the opponent's life, while the grenade had a delay time of several seconds. Even if the Japanese had time to pull the grenade, we had enough time to stuff it into the Japanese's belly!

"Hurry up!" Company Commander Xu gave us an order: "Replenish grenades and explosive packs!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and used the fastest speed to remove the grenades and explosive packs on the Japanese.

"Platform leader..." Chen Dali, who was carrying three and four of his shoulders, was holding two 38-piece covers in his hands and ran to me happily and said, "Only replenish grenades and explosive packs? Then...what are these guns?"

"Abide by the order!" I stuffed the grenades I had just collected into the grenade bag and said without looking back: "We are going to break through. Can you walk out with so many guns on your body? I lost them all!"

"Yes!" Chen Dali responded, knowing that I was right, so he had to take off all the guns on his body reluctantly.

But what we didn't expect happened at this moment. Just as the soldiers and I were busy collecting grenades, a blood-covered Japanese soldier suddenly jumped out of the pile of corpses and held a machine gun and pointed it at us...

The Japanese soldier was very smart and calm. He would wait until we carried the rifle on his shoulder to start collecting ammunition before he started to take action. There is no doubt... Now as long as he gently pulls the trigger, the few people we gathered together will die.

At that time, my mind was blank, and only two words came to my mind: "It's over!"

By the way, I didn't die in fighting against the enemy but in my own negligence. I would never be willing to do so! Fortunately, none of this happened.

Before we could react, we could only hear the "collapse" sound of the Japanese army and the female student appeared in front of me, holding a rolling pin with blood stains in her hand.

But it is obvious that the female student was not strong enough, so the Japanese army was not dead. He was still trying to stand up and resist...

It’s a pity that he never had this opportunity again. A group of people came out of nowhere, including men, women, old and young, some holding hoes, some holding kitchen knives, and even an old lady holding embroidered shoes... They rushed up and greeted the Japanese army with various "weapons" in their hands without saying a word!

The Japanese army died unjustly because he set at least one record: the record of being killed by the most "weapons".

"Sir!" The old man who had scolded me before walked out with a cane and apologized to me with his fists: "Sir, you guys are fighting well! I blame you for your mistake..."

"Old sir!" I don't know what to say, because I don't think he blamed me for it.

"Stop saying anything!" The old man nodded: "I understand that although this old bone is useless, I am still a person who understands the truth! You are a brave army, all of whom can fight. A unit like you cannot allow the Japanese to surround them and die in Beiping. You should break through and live... Only by living can you recover my great rivers and mountains, only by living can you completely drive Japanese out of the country, and only by living can you avenge us..."

"Old man..." I suddenly felt like crying.

"Don't say so much!" The old man patted my shoulder kindly and said, "Military information is urgent, you can go quickly... But I have a request, I don't know..."

"Please say it, old man!" I quickly replied, "As long as we can do, we will definitely satisfy your wish!"

"Okay!" The old man waved to the female student and signaled her to come, holding her hand and said, "Sir, I am not afraid of anything. The one who is most worried about is her. Can you take her away?"

"Dad, you..." The female student became anxious when she heard this and rushed to say, "How could I leave you..."

"Stop!" The old man interrupted her: "What's the use of staying? Instead of waiting for death with me, it's better to follow the troops to contribute to the country!"

As he said that, the old man waved to the other people and shouted: "Friends, it is inevitable that Japan has occupied Peiping. If we can't walk, we won't drag down the troops. What else can we do if we can leave? Stay here as slaves to the country? At least we can also help our troops carry ammunition and load bullets. If we don't, we can block bullets!"

"Yes!" The old man's words caused a strong response among the people like a bomb, especially those old people. As parents, they are unwilling to let their children stay here and wait for death, so most of them want their children to follow the army. However, those young people... most of them have old people and young people, and they can't let go of this family... So the whole street quickly became chaotic, with crying, persuasion, and shouting... They only saw that we were at a loss and knew what to do!

But to be honest, the untrained people follow us to break through the siege and we even have to be distracted to protect them...

Later I realized that I was wrong and was very wrong!

In the end, it seemed that the old man had the upper hand. Many young and strong people consciously picked up rifles and ammunition from the corpse of a young Japanese and followed us, including the female student...

"Gather!" At this time, a shout came from the speaker in front of him: "Brothers! There are not many Japanese soldiers in the north of the city. Those who want to survive will rush out with me! Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

The soldiers roared with bayonets and rushed down the street toward the north of the city. As for how many people behind them followed, or whether they had followed, we could no longer care about so many!

When fighting, you must be fearless, move forward, and ignore anything!

The gunshots rang out quickly, so I knew that the soldiers in front had rushed out of the street and came into contact with the Japanese army. Almost at the same time, there were shouts of killing and dense gunshots on both sides of the left and right... After the troops of the 39th Brigade had solved the Japanese army besieged in time, they rushed to attack the Japanese defense line with our military training regiment.

From this point of view, Zhang Zizhong's command was quite in place. Several troops had coordinated well, and did not waste much time. In other words, it was not given much chance to breathe in the Japanese army...

However, this battle was not as easy as we imagined, and it could be heard from the dense sound of gunfire and screams in front.

When I brought the soldiers to the intersection with the crowd, I found that my judgment was indeed correct: the Japanese army made some preparations, and a few searchlights shone at the intersection from a distance, making the intersection white like daylight. Several machine guns used crossfire to seal the road of our attack. The bullets rushed towards our army like raindrops, and the whistling sounds of bullets were everywhere above our heads...

But all this did not scare away the soldiers of the military training group. They still rushed towards the enemy's position with rifles and bayonets... Unfortunately, all this seemed useless. As soon as the soldiers rushed into the projection range of the searchlight, they were exposed to the Japanese army like targets. Then there were gunshots, and heroes fell in a pool of blood and sacrificed their lives!

War is so cruel. It will not be biased towards one side just because of who is just. The piles of corpses at the intersection of the street can effectively prove this!

"One row! Come on!" The task of attack seemed to fall on our company because I saw Company Commander Xu giving orders.

"Yes!" A row leader responded, and waved his hand and rushed up with dozens of soldiers.

With the experience of the first few batches of soldiers, they no longer fought hard this time, but were divided into two teams and moved forward close to the buildings on both sides of the street. Seeing this, I couldn't help but shouted inwardly. It seemed that the platoon leader was still a little smart. Due to the shooting angle, there were many places beside the buildings with dead corners of enemy machine guns, which undoubtedly reduced the time the soldiers were exposed to the enemy's firepower.

But doing this doesn't seem to have much effect - the street intersection is still more than 70 meters away from the Japanese defense line, which is an open area. I don't think they can break through the Japanese defense line under this situation...

However, the rank leader was not completely unplanned. When they approached the street, they stopped for a while, and then the rank leader shouted: "Grenade!"

More than a dozen grenades were thrown out of their hands almost at the same time. Then there was a loud bang of "boom...", and a cloud of smoke exploded at the intersection. Then the soldiers shouted "kill" and rushed towards the Japanese defense line with the smoke and bayonets!

Using the smoke to rush forward is indeed a good idea. However, the intersection of the street is too small, and the Japanese army just fired randomly at the smoke with machine guns... I watched the soldiers fall down one by one! The only thing that can play a role is that a platoon leader threw a grenade at the enemy's defense line with his life before falling down...

The grenade exploded in the Japanese defense line, and a machine gun silenced. Three Japanese soldiers were bombed out of the trenches. This is the result of the battle of more than 30 soldiers in our army who exchanged their lives for their lives!

"Second Platoon Commander!" Company Commander Xu shouted at me: "Think of a way, you must stick out!"
