The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 667

The dark night was covered with a thick layer of black clouds. It was not black clouds, but gunpowder smoke from the battlefield, floating into the sky, mixed with the smell of blood, which could not be dispersed by wind or penetrated by rain.

After several days of fighting, Luodian has been turned into ruins. Corrupted skeletons can be vaguely seen among the ruins, exuding a strong and pungent stench. Exploded and bent guns are scattered everywhere. Yes, mixed with the soil on the ground.

After Xia Yuan killed Qiu Zhengfu, he took the veterans to the direction of Jiading,

As for how Commander Qiu will judge him, it has nothing to do with him.

Whoosh whoosh.

After running so far with seven or eight guns on his back, the veteran was so tired that he sat down on the ground and said, "You are carrying so many guns just to pick them up and sell them?"

"In addition to guns, there are also watches and cigarettes." Xia Yuan smiled and said, "I still have to thank you, otherwise, I wouldn't have found Qiu Zhengfu so quickly. Well, this watch is enough for you to get several wives. .”

"It can't be that much." The veteran waved his hand, took out a cigarette, lit it beautifully, and said, "You fought so hard, why don't you stay on the front line."

"No one is taking them in." Xia Yuan also took out a cigarette, lit it, and thought about what he had done during this period, like a ton of bricks, tossing back and forth without any hesitation. He understood that the task given by the system was to participate. The Battle of Songhu, he has already participated in the Battle of Songhu, it doesn't matter what kind of battle it is.

"No one is taking you in, how is that possible!" The veteran stared, "If I were a commander, I would definitely give you an official position. The battle is so powerful, and it is not a waste to lead troops to fight."

"Then you have to be a commander. Either the commanders in the national army are relatives, or they are from the same family, the same division, or from the same school. If you want to climb from a soldier to a commander, it will not only be To be strong in combat, you must also know how to deal with the world.”

The veteran thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.

"Even if you become a platoon commander or become a battalion commander, it has to be related."

The veteran smoked a cigarette and asked Xia Yuan which army he came from. He had never heard of such a person before.After thinking about it, I felt that it shouldn't be the case. Xia Yuan's combat effectiveness was very strong in the recent battle. Such a talent should be valued wherever he is placed.

But no one wants or even uses Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan waved his hand: "The recruit camp in Yudi went to the battlefield for the first time. Basically all the recruit camp was dead. My cheap battalion commander doesn't know what is going on now. If the platoon commander hadn't given up the platoon commander to me, I am still an ordinary soldier now."

"No matter what, you are so powerful, you must have many followers around you." The veteran was impressed by Xia Yuan's powerful fighting power. Even if he became a deserter, he would follow Xia Yuan.

What the veteran said is indeed true. Until now, there are actually a few people who have followed him wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that the dead are dead and the injured are injured.

The scholar is also in the hospital. I don’t know how his condition is now. This time he seized a lot of good things from the Japanese positions and brought them back to the scholar.

It's a pity that there are no medicines, and the little Japanese devils are also very strict about medicines.

In fact, when he entered the position and found that none of the seriously wounded Japanese soldiers had retreated, it could be seen that the current situation of the Japanese soldiers was not good. They had left all the seriously wounded soldiers in the trenches. When they arrived at the position, some Japanese The seriously wounded Japanese had committed seppuku and committed suicide.

The medicine was not confiscated, but some food was obtained, as well as cheap gold and silver jewelry. If they were placed in Jiading, they would be worth some money. If they were placed in the countryside, there would be no problem finding a wife.

After wandering all the way, we arrived at the logistics transfer of wounded soldiers. There were already a large number of wounded waiting here. There was a strange smell floating in the air. Many wounded were lying on the ground with no clothes on. The bloody wounds were shocking. There were no medicines for those wounds. He was simply bandaged with a rough bandage and transported by a convoy to the hospital behind Jiading.

The veteran looked at it and said, "We are not injured. We may be regarded as deserters."

"That's why I let you carry so many guns to build relationships." Xia Yuan smiled. If you were caught as a deserter on the battlefield, something would definitely happen, but in logistics, this was very common. Yesterday, Xia Yuan Yuan took Zheng Dayong and the others back to Jiading in this way.

Veterans really don’t know this.

After a while, a convoy of trucks came from a distance. The headlights were covered with nets and emitted a dim halo. They could only see the road ahead clearly. In this way, a Japanese plane was flying over. If you didn't look carefully, you would really see it. can not tell.

The commander who got off the car was the leader of the convoy, and the people behind the convoy were mostly division commanders of a certain division. In addition to transporting wounded soldiers, they also transported guns and ammunition seized from the battlefield. These guns Part of the ammunition will be confiscated, and the other part will flow into private hands, be slightly renovated, and sold to the national army at a high price.

Similarly, the black market in Jiading buys weapons from the National Army soldiers at low prices, briefly renovates them, and then sells them to the National Army at high prices to earn military renewal fees from the National Army. Among them, some officers take the lead and bully them. Hidden from the bottom.

The person who came was an old acquaintance. The captain who came from the direction of Wusong also pulled them last night. Xia Yuan smiled, patted the veteran on the shoulder, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stepped forward, "Chen Che. long."

When Captain Chen heard someone calling him, he looked back. The person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he asked, "Who are you?"

"Captain Chen, noble man, you forget things a lot." Xia Yuan took out a cigarette from the box of cigarettes, put it on his mouth, and put the rest into Commander Chen's hand, and mentioned a place name: "Wusong."

"Oh oh oh, it's you. What a coincidence. Why are you here?" Captain Chen immediately recognized the cigarette in his hand and laughed. In fact, he didn't recognize it at all. These days, he is Wu Song picked up a lot of people, but he couldn't remember them all.

Naturally, Xia Yuan saw through it without saying anything, and said to the veteran behind him, "They are all thirty-eight moves, split in half, send me to Jiading, occupy two positions, not more."

Captain Chen shook the cigarette in his hand and thought for a long time.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "This battle won't be over for a while. I'll be back when the time comes."

When Commander Chen heard this, he looked at Xia Yuan carefully: "Who specializes in this?"

Xia Yuan smiled: "Pull out the tiger's teeth and make some money."

"How can this be so little money?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xia Yuan asked: "This matter."

"I want a gun, I want bullets, and I don't want anything else. Wherever you go, I'll bring it with you." Commander Chen thought for a while, then said loudly: "One person, three guns, this is The friendship price is also based on the fact that we are old acquaintances."

"You also know that those who pull the wounded have broken arms and legs. It's not good to pull the two with sound limbs. You have to cover it up after all."

Xia Yuan cursed in his heart, this piece of shit, one person has three guns, which can be sold for three oceans, grandma, the shit is really dark.But there was nothing he could do about it. There were many officials working on the front of Captain Chen. It was good to earn a few yuan for one trip, but if he didn't do something shady, he wouldn't be able to make any money at all.

As for killing Commander Chen, there is one less way to retreat. After the Japanese capture Luodian, they will not be able to stabilize themselves. They will attack all the way south from Luodian and go straight to Dachang. The Dachang is where the National Army retreats in Shanghai. The only way for the Japanese army to occupy the field would be to cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army in Shanghai.

At the moment, no one can say what the next battle will look like.

Xia Yuan winked at the veteran behind him, and the veteran took off six guns and placed them in front of Commander Chen. Commander Chen looked at him briefly and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really happy, I will leave two for you." Near the front of the car."

The road was muddy, potholed, with puddles everywhere, and the bumps were severe. The position near the front of the car was more comfortable and the bumps were less felt, just like sitting in the front of a car and not getting motion sickness.

"Thank you, Captain Chen." Xia Yuangong handed over his hand, and then followed Captain Chen's arrangement and got on the truck.

There were also some soldiers who were missing arms and legs. They had obviously bought Commander Chen's parking space. Those wounded soldiers couldn't afford their guns, so they all sat on the butt of the car.

A convoy of eight trucks stopped briefly at Luodian and then drove toward Jiading.

The sky shimmered.

The fighting in the direction of Luodian gradually subsided.

The last wave of offensive launched by General Chen Cheng ended in failure. The national army finally failed to invade Luodian and had to stop the attack.

At this point, although the national army had surrounded Luodian on three sides and even cut off the roads between Luodian and Liuhe, and between Luodian and Chuanshakou, they ultimately failed to complete the encirclement or capture Luodian. The attack was stopped, and the Japanese No. 11 Division began to repair.

The Japanese Third Division is attacking the Yanghang and Yuepu lines.

The flanks of the No.15 Group Army were unstable and the frontal troops were extremely exhausted. The Japanese army in Luodian relied on the power of the air force and artillery to start a counterattack. The National Army troops began to retreat. After that, the National Army failed to launch a large-scale attack near Luodian. The offensive and the Luodian battle basically failed.

At the same time, at the Qiujiang Pier, China and Japan also launched a fierce battle. The scale of the battle was not large, but the fight was extremely fierce.Prior to this, the Japanese army built a temporary airport near the Gongda Cotton Mill, which was later occupied by the Chinese army. In order to strengthen the air force in Shanghai, the Japanese army wanted to seize the airport and start a fierce battle with the Chinese army at Qiujiang Pier. .

The Nationalist army rose up to resist and fought fiercely for several days. However, the Japanese army still captured the Qiujiang Pier. Its public airport began normal operations on September [-]. The Japanese air force near Shanghai was further strengthened.

With the failure of the siege of Luodian and the successive fall of Wusong Baoshan, the national army's anti-landing operations on the Songhu battlefield were no longer sustainable, and the transition to comprehensive defense became a foregone conclusion.

As for the Japanese army, after capturing Baoshan, although the connection between the two divisions was opened up, Yuepu and Yangxing were still controlled by the national army. These two strongholds were like two nails, deeply embedded in the Japanese army's two strongholds. Therefore, the next goal of the Japanese army's battle is to capture these two strongholds and completely open up the connection between the two divisions.

The sky was bright, and on the horizon, a fiery red sun slowly rose, reflecting the devastated land. The truck bumped, and the gray faces of the soldiers under the red sun were flushed.

The veteran was sitting on the ground with two guns on his back, looking around with his eyes.

Xia Yuan closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Airplane! Airplane!"

A series of urgent shouts plunged the originally peaceful convoy, which had only car engines for company, into a huge panic.

There was a sharp whistle of bombs in the sky, and they fell to the ground like blooming flowers. A car was hit by a bomb dropped by a Japanese plane. In an instant, it was torn apart in the billowing smoke. , saw the soldier whose body was burning with flames. He was not dead yet, struggling in the thick smoke. His body was burned like dry wood, and he struggled for a long time.

"get off!"

Xia Yuan was in a bad situation. He looked up and saw three Japanese aircraft in the sky. He immediately called on the veterans to follow him.

The back of the truck was already a mess. People with good legs and feet were jumping under the car. People with bad legs and feet no matter how much they called for help, no one paid attention. They were all running frantically for their lives. Who would care about this.

Xia Yuan didn't care, and jumped out of the car with the veteran. The car behind him rolled with a violent explosion, and the two of them were blown away, and they fell heavily to the ground.

Two of the eight trucks behind them turned into a pile of wreckage, their blackened corpses burning with flames. The Japanese planes only dropped a few bombs, then rushed into the sky and disappeared.

A group of gray-faced soldiers stood up from the ground and stared blankly at the car wreckage after being bombed by Japanese planes. They stared at the charred bones in the wreckage with thick black smoke rising from them.

Captain Chen straightened his hat, stood on the road, and yelled at the Japanese plane: "You damn Japanese, I only had eight trucks, and you blew up two of them. Sooner or later, I will blow up all of you." Beat it down!"

After venting for a while, Captain Chen said: "Get in the car and keep going! Everyone squeezes in, we are almost there, hold on."

All the people in a car were dead, and no one jumped out. A dozen people escaped from the truck where Xia Yuan was, and everyone had an expression on their face of surviving a disaster.

After sitting in the car, their expressions were a little confused.

The truck bumped along the way.

"Look!" Someone suddenly pointed into the distance.

Xia Yuan stood up, raised his head and looked in the direction the man pointed. A city appeared at the end of his sight. Thick smoke billowed from the city. When he entered the city, he saw a large area of ​​ruins, with gray-headed soldiers among the ruins. Rummage.

"The Japanese plane is coming to Jiading." The veteran looked at the ruins in front of him and his heart sank.

"Yeah, that means something."

"what?"

The veteran turned to look at him.

"The war in the Luodian direction has failed, and the Japanese can now send extra aircraft to bomb our rear."

The veteran's heart sank, and he didn't speak until the truck stopped.
