I don’t know if this should be attributed to my in a hurry to be wise or my fate, or both. I only know that one thing is real - it’s great to be alive!

Chapter 51 Living

What else can I do now? I am already in a desperate situation!

Isn't it? I have no support on this water tower alone. There are Japanese soldiers everywhere just a few dozen meters away below, and my gun was gone without bullets and grenades. I seem to have only two choices now, one is to surrender and the other is to commit suicide!

I have thought about surrendering. Not to mention that I am timid, I believe that most people will consider any possible way to survive when facing death. But this road was quickly rejected by me again because I was the platoon leader of the second platoon of the 1st Battalion of the Military Training Corps. I designed the Huohuohuohe Riverside Brigade. I led the 29th Army out of Peiping, and even designed the military training regiment to disguise as a security regiment and rushed into the Japanese headquarters... If the Japanese knew about this, they would not have let me go!

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, because I was on the water tower and the Japanese were killed and killed. I was afraid that I would be dismembered by the angry Japanese when I surrendered to them as soon as I got to the water tower.

So the two roads become only one road, that is - death!

However, there is a saying that there is no way to go. At this moment, I suddenly saw a pack of explosives beside me. This may be because the soldiers were cumbersome when they were draining the water tower... Then look at the height of the water tower and the angle of one of the supporting points, it seemed to be facing the intersection of the street where the little Japanese was!

Do I have any hope of success? At that time, I didn’t think about this problem at all, because I knew it very well that the current situation is a desperate situation. Just as the soldiers said, it’s better to fight boldly than death!

So I didn't think much about it. I used the quickest way to untie the backpack strap and tie the explosive bag. Then, as soon as I pulled the fuse, I hung it on the fulcrum point of the water tower pointing to the intersection...

Taking advantage of the delayed explosion of the explosive pack, I took off my clothes and rolled it in my hand and quickly came to the iron ladder. I took a deep breath and said to myself, "Go down! Staying on this is death, it's better to fight to the death!"

Thinking of this, I used my hands wrapped around the clothes to clamp the sides of the iron ladder, then loosened my feet and slid down the iron ladder...

"Bang bang..." A few gunshots, the little Japanese quickly discovered me sliding down from the water tower, so they raised their guns and shot at me. Fortunately, because I was gliding very quickly, no bullet could hit me yet. But I knew that this good luck would not last long, because I couldn't always glide at high speed, the water tower was so high... When my feet landed on the ground, it would mean that I would be exposed naked to the gun of the little Japanese!

As soon as my mind arose, I felt a shock in my whole body... So I realized that I had successfully landed, but the landing looked a little embarrassed. My chest and abdomen were shocked and I sat on the ground and couldn't stand up for a long time. The clothes in my hands were worn out at some point, and my hands were also grinding blood and blood.

When I looked up, I saw dozens of little Japanese opposite him pointing guns at me. They couldn't help laughing happily when they looked at me, as if they knew I could no longer escape from their palms, so they were not in a hurry to kill me. There were even a few Japanese soldiers who deliberately shot bullets at my feet and teased me like a cat teasing a mouse...

However, they were about to pay the price for their carelessness and arrogance. Just as the little Japanese was smiling arrogantly, a sudden explosion came from above their heads, and countless pieces of cement flew towards them like raindrops, which made the Japanese soldiers scream. Since my position was on the other side of the water tower, there was no such thing as anything.

After the fired cement blocks passed, the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but get up from the ground in anger and grabbed their rifles and came to settle the score with me. However, what they didn't expect was that the good show was still coming!

Before the Japanese took a few steps, the water tower "cry" sounded, and then the sound of supporting one of its pillars "collapsed", completely broke into two pieces, so the entire water tower lost its balance and collapsed, and the direction of the collapse... of course, the direction of the pillar breaking is the direction where the Japanese is located.

Poor little Japanese, before they could scream, they were inexplicably suppressed by the giants falling from the sky. Although the Japanese troops standing a little further did not let the water tower hit, it was not easy. The water storage in the water tower poured out and rushed them to the building behind them.

I didn't expect my luck to be so good. The water tower was right at the intersection of the street and blocked the way out of the Japanese. This gave me some time, so when did I not leave? I tried my best to get up from the ground and crawled towards the city gate with all my strength...

A few gunshots came from behind, and several bullets fell near me. Obviously, these were a few little Japanese who were lucky enough to survive shooting at me. I didn’t dare to look back, let alone stop, because I knew that every second I wasted now would be very likely to let myself lie here forever!

Step by step, the city gate was getting closer and closer to me, but I felt that it was so far away from me. I even felt that I would never be able to reach the door that was only a few meters wide, because there was a little Japanese clamoring and scolding behind me.

I wanted to turn around and resist, but I didn't even have the strength to untie the rifle from my shoulder; I wanted to run forward, but I knew very well that I was injured and could not escape from the Japanese... So I seemed to have only one thing I could do, that is, stay and die.

However, just as a few Japanese rush to my back, several national soldiers suddenly turned around at the city gate. They raised their guns and attacked them "bang" without saying anything... The Japanese army chasing me fell into a pool of blood without exception.

Am I saved? I don’t know, I just know that I suddenly felt very tired at this time, so my whole body became weak and I lay down on the ground without knowing anything…

*********************************************************

When I woke up, it was already dawn. When I sat upright, I found myself in a car, with several wounded soldiers tied with bandages sitting or lying beside me. A female student was sleeping in the carriage. I didn’t have to look at it and knew it was Xiaoting.

She might be so tired that the carriage swayed from side to side and couldn't wake her up. But it's no wonder that she hasn't had a good rest since she came out of Peking that night. This is okay for us soldiers, but she seems to be too cruel to a female student like her...

"Platform Commander Fang!" At this time, a wounded soldier beside me shouted at me: "You are awake! My brothers have heard about you. The fight is so good. I have a sigh of relief for us Chinese!"

"Yes!" Another injured man continued, "Platform Commander Fang can block the attack of a brigade of Japanese devils alone, and even killed dozens of people. He is truly unprecedented!"

"It's not me alone!" I shook my head and said, "We have five of us in total!"

In fact, I even had a brigade of the Japanese who I blocked and killed dozens of people and injured them. I only heard that the water tower was pressed down like this... In addition, we killed the Japanese on the water tower before, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there were dozens of them!

It should be said that five soldiers killed and injured dozens of enemies on the battlefield. This is still possible on the battlefield. But the problem is that now the national army and the Japanese fight end at a five-to-one or even higher casualty ratio. However, we can fight this battle with such a large contrast, and successfully blocked the Japanese pursuers... It is no surprise that the soldiers will be amazed!

"Um!" At this time, Xiaoting was awakened by our discussion. She looked at me sleepyly, and said with a blank expression: "Are you awake?"

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder. Xiaoting seemed to be unhappy.

Xiaoting shook her head and didn't say anything. After a long time, she handed me a pot of water and said, "Do you know what you are doing? You almost died or not? If it weren't for Battalion Commander Li felt strange why the Japanese hadn't come for so long and sent a few brothers to reconnaissance, I'm afraid you'll..."

When I heard this, I understood two points. One is that Xiaoting was depressed because she was worried about my safety. The other is that she rescued several soldiers from the Japanese gun at the city gate... It turned out to be the scout sent by Battalion Commander Li!

I really feel lucky if I thought about it. If Battalion Commander Li did not send those scouts to inquire about the news, or if the scouts didn't have time to catch up, or if they saw that there were many Japanese people and they didn't dare to come forward to save me... I was afraid that my life would be lost!

But there are not so many things on the battlefield. Just like the four soldiers who bravely rushed towards the enemy have already died, the reality is that I am still alive. If there is any injury, I will lose my body and my palms are worn out...
