On the way back, they passed through a long alley. There was nothing there, and they didn't know what day it was. In such a long alley that seemed to take a lifetime to walk through, Shuoyu watched their leader staring blankly at every empty street corner without saying anything. Shuoyu didn't know what he longed to see, but he knew he was destined not to see what he wanted to see.
Because he has a pair of living eyes, he is destined not to see the dead.
It's a good thing not to see. Fanla saw it once when he was half asleep and half awake, and he became the crazy he is now. He couldn't imagine what it would be like when three crazy people were together.
"Do paper boats really work, Banxian'er?"
"It works. If you think he's real, then he's real."
Two pairs of almost identical little black hands were put together, using each other as crutches, walking on the slope. They were going to the sand table of Master Yu's meeting place. Young Master Yu had never been a patient person.
…
"How many people do you have left?"
"About one battalion."
"The Japanese army is best at launching night attacks. Why don't you launch a night attack?"
"You defended very well, taking every step carefully."
"In the hornet's nest you dug? You're a genius in close combat. I've been waiting for a hole in my crotch and a bayonet to poke out."
"So... you're completely defenseless."
"Bullshit! You've done nothing so well that I could use a pneumatic gun to drill a hole in your belly button! What the hell are you doing?"
Si La Si La remained silent, pretending to know nothing. So Yu Xiaoqing transferred the Sichuan Army Corps, commanded by Deputy Corps Commander Lin Yi, and obeyed the orders of the Special Service Battalion. When Shuo Yu heard the news, he stood to the right of their Corps Commander.
Ah Yi was very excited when he heard the news, but Yu Xiaoqing said to him without hesitation that he should follow Zhang Lixian's special forces battalion and become cannon fodder to supplement the troops, playing their few roles.
Just like Shuoyu couldn't help but see He Shuguang who died on the bank of Nujiang River, and Hai Zhengchong who died between the first and second lines of defense on the west bank,
He also saw Manhan, Nidan, Big Eyes, Milong, Bu La, Doubing, Yao Ma, Hao Laodi... and so on, those 1,356 faces that he could never forget.
Under the command of the special forces battalion, they went to fill the big trap of Takeuchi Renshan. Yu Xiaoqing blew up the tree fort. Shuoyu's hands twisted the dead flesh, but he didn't cry out.
Just said one sentence,
"When the sun comes up, I'll start fighting."
This battle lasted from dawn to dusk, and then to dawn again. I finally woke up from my dream and temporarily recovered my soul that had run away from home.
"Alright! Let me see what tricks you have in those holey pockets. Your three lines of defense have all turned to dust. What else do you have?"
"...I still have the reverse slope, two lines of defense on the reverse slope."
Yu Xiaoqing walked over and looked at the reverse slope on the sand table, then turned back and looked at their leader. At this moment, he was very similar to Hai Zhengchong not long ago.
"Reverse slope? Is he defending well? His gun and artillery holes are all facing west. Where can you hit them?"
"The defensive fortifications on the reverse slope had already taken shape before our army's unstoppable advance, Commander."
The tone of "dead dead" was very flat, as if he was telling a story, a not very beautiful story, but also as if it was some kind of fact.
"We're doomed to fail, but we refuse to give up. Knowing the outcome, we're even more fearless. Every trap here is designed to kill, to kill as many of you as possible! The main position has shifted to the reverse slope. Your artillery fire is useless, and your air support can't be counted on. Both sides are at the end of their strength. It's just that my broken Japanese sword pierced Master Yu's forehead."
What their leader said was right. The other side had made such a plan a long time ago. They had already thought about what would happen if the war failed. They were already a nation close to madness. They shed their last drop of blood just for the thing they believed in their hearts. At a time like this, they didn't know how comfortable it would be to live with something to believe in.
They would feel it is an honor to die for that thing.
The cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army was sent to such a battlefield. This scene made Shuo Yu unable to stand up straight. In front of his eyes, Ayi chose to commit suicide with his small pistol in order not to die in the hands of the devils, and Fanla died in the bullet hole of the person behind him because he wanted to escape again.
While veterinarian Hao was rescuing people amidst the gunfire, he was hit by a stray bullet and died on the spot.
Milong was knocked unconscious by the bomb, and his last words before he died were "I will kill you!"
Bula and Yaoma died together. Bula raised his grenade and wanted to throw it because his brother Yaoma was shot in the head by the Japanese.
The bearded Cui Yong's body was blown away by the shell, and his heavy machine gun exploded together with it.
Snake Butt had no weapons left, but he still had his ever-present kitchen knife in his hand, ready to charge forward and chop him down, only to fall into the mud...
It was raining again, but this time the rain was black.
Their leader's voice was still speaking, but it was a little weak.
"...The entire Nantianmen Gate is a big trap. The stuffing is what you think is Takeuchi Renzan's headquarters. This tree is actually nothing. The three lines of defense are all bluffs. Even this tree fort is a bluff from his father. You think you can take Nantianmen Gate at all costs, but in fact it is just to exhaust Master Yu. Only the last one left is the Master Commander."
"Is this the answer you want? Do you dare to pay such a price?"
