Age of Rebirth

The night wind was weakening, and the sound of soldiers from the second brigade searching the battlefield seemed to come from a distant place. Qi Hanzhi sighed comfortably after smoking a cigarette. In the second life-and-death fight, the small ones can be ignored, but the tension is more than ever before. The desperadoes covered in explosives are an imminent threat, and the bigger threat comes from their comrades in arms.

On the one hand, Qi Hanzhi wanted to control the battle within a safe range, and on the other hand, he also had to worry about the pistol behind his head. No one could guarantee that, when Chief of Staff Huang Xiaosheng's sense of justice was overflowing, he would shoot himself. , At that time, there was no time to explain, fortunately, that situation did not arise.

Qi Hanzhi stretched out his legs comfortably, and muttered to himself: "Fuck! Commanding a group of non-professional soldiers is really f*cking hard work, and almost hit his own head. Next time, you have to bring your own soldiers no matter what! "

Sensing someone approaching him, Qi Hanzhi opened his eyelids slightly, and saw that it was Colonel Huang Xiaosheng, the Chief of Staff of the Second Brigade, standing in front of him with embarrassment. If you hadn't considered all aspects of the relationship, you would have been admitted to the field hospital by now!" I was too lazy to talk to him, so I pretended to close my eyes and rest, and turned a blind eye.

Huang Xiaosheng didn't feel embarrassed or annoyed. He understood Qi Hanzhi's mood at the moment. No matter who he was, he would feel uncomfortable if he was misunderstood by his comrades and pointed a gun at his head. "Chief Qi, I..."

"Oh, it's Chief of Staff Huang, don't say anything, this time you understand what's going on!" Qi Hanzhi opened his eyes, interrupted Huang Xiaosheng's apology, and said nonchalantly.

Huang Xiaosheng's face turned red.It's not because of Qi Hanzhi's rudeness, it's because of self-blame from the bottom of his heart. Just now, when he was cleaning the battlefield, it didn't matter if he was in the woods. The corpse hit by the mortar shell died with the explosives on his body, and his body was already torn to pieces. , Those corpses that are still intact are almost all with blown heads.Needless to say, he was shot in the head by Qi Hanzhi more than 150 meters away.

Without exception, the corpses in the woods were covered with explosives.Huang Xiaosheng could still accept it, after all.These outlaws in the woods.He had fired a shot, but on the road, those Japanese corpses mixed with men and women made Huang Xiaosheng sweat coldly. He was shocked to see that no matter if it was a Japanese man or a woman.They were all strapped with explosives, and the nearest bodies were less than 50 meters away from the convoy.

Without too much explanation, Huang Xiaosheng fully understood.Such an insidious group of Japanese, even shot and killed several of his compatriots to gain the trust of the soldiers of the Second Brigade. He obviously underestimated the meanness and insidiousness of the Japanese. If Qi Hanzhi hadn't acted decisively, at this moment, the whole It's almost the same if the convoy is not completely wiped out, so I pay it back by myself. . . . . .Huang Xiaosheng shook his head angrily.

Not only Huang Xiaosheng, but other officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade were in extreme shock. They knew which Chief of Staff of the Special Operations Detachment was the one who saved everyone's lives. Huang Xiaosheng is a responsible person. Not to shirk responsibility, he felt that he should have a heart-to-heart talk with Qi Hanzhi, otherwise, he would feel uneasy.

Seeing that Qi Hanzhi didn't show any displeasure, Huang Xiaosheng felt even more ashamed, and said: "Chief Qi, I sincerely apologize to you. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. At the same time, I also realized my own shortcomings. I will submit a report to the acting brigade commander. Reporting, requesting punishment, ignorance of the enemy's situation, almost causing a big mistake, bringing great danger to the troops, and using weapons against comrades-in-arms, this is my responsibility!"

Huang Xiaosheng's tone, the absolute sincerity, especially the word "comrade in arms", instantly touched Qi Hanzhi's heart. His little resentment had disappeared long ago, and he felt a little sorry to hear that Huang Xiaosheng wanted to ask for punishment.

Then he stood up and said solemnly: "Chief Huang, it's good to know the reason. It's no wonder you and the soldiers. After all, you are not a special operations force. As for asking the acting brigade commander to punish you, in my opinion, there is no need for that." , After all, there was no danger, did the troops not suffer any losses! They also killed more than a hundred Japanese militants, speaking of which, they have made a small contribution!"

Huang Xiaosheng shook his head and said resolutely: "As the Chief of Staff of the Second Brigade, I must take responsibility for requesting punishment. As a commander, if I cannot realize my mistakes and reflect on myself, I am not worthy of staying in the Second Brigade! As for Not to mention meritorious service, as long as all the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade can realize their own shortcomings from the task of entering Seoul, I will be punished, and it will be worth it!"

"Okay!" Qi Hanzhi was moved. He was moved by Huang Xiaosheng's sincerity and self-discipline. He stepped forward to hold his hand and said, "You are a man. Will truthfully report to our detachment leader!"

The hands of the two soldiers were tightly held together, and all the estrangement and unhappiness were thrown away. Huang Xiaosheng hesitated and said, "Chief Qi, since you regard me as a friend, then I will ask you a blunt question. , Under the circumstances at that time, how did you conclude that there were Japanese militants hiding in the woods, and why did you dare to shoot the group of Japanese who ran over? I have never figured it out!"

Qi Hanzhi grinned, his teeth were white, and said: "It's very simple, experience, intuition plus observation!"

Seeing Huang Xiaosheng's puzzled face, Qi Hanzhi explained: "There is a forest in the urban area, surrounded by buildings on three sides. The road leading to the radio station must pass through here. The detachment leader and the others started to move quickly. It’s been an hour, and you’ve heard it too, the sound of explosions and guns has never stopped, it will definitely alarm the Japanese militants in other places, and this forest is the best place to ambush!”

"Anyone with a little common sense will know the importance of controlling the tools of public opinion. Therefore, if we want to control the radio station, we cannot avoid this forest. At that time, I was just skeptical, so I ordered the mortar to attack. I just wanted to blow up the gang of little devils who were ambushing inside, but in the end, there really was an ambush! Hehe!"

Qi Hanzhi smiled lightly, as if telling another unremarkable story, Huang Xiaosheng understood the purpose of bombarding the forest, but he still had a question, "Chief Qi, the group of Japanese who came out of the forest were mixed men and women, and , was shot by the guys in the woods and killed a few, and at that time, when you shot, without hesitation, you dared to conclude that it was the Japanese who were trying to get close to our convoy and launch a suicide attack?"

Qi Hanzhi's answer was even simpler, "Observe! The gang of male and female devils who ran out are all very bloated. Chief of Staff Huang, don't forget that it's the end of June now. Those guys will never be in such a hot place." Wearing a thick padded jacket in the cold weather? This is the flaw, but because of the urgency of the situation, I didn’t have time to explain it! It made you, Chief of Staff Huang, wish you could shoot me, Qi Hanzhi!"

Huang Xiaosheng was completely immersed in Qi Hanzhi's analysis, and did not notice his teasing tone. After a while, he said in admiration: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. The ancients never deceived me! It's an eye-opener." , Chief of Staff Qi, because of this, I admire the wisdom of the teacher even more. I transferred the captain of the Chu branch of the special warfare detachment to serve as the acting brigade commander of the second brigade. Otherwise, the second brigade would splash blood on the streets in Seoul and suffer heavy losses! "

"If you didn't fall on the battlefield with the regular Japanese army, but fell under the hands of this gang of mobs, it is very likely that the Second Brigade will be severely injured and depressed. Even Brigadier Chen or myself can't accept the Second Brigade, such a troop will become like that!"

Huang Xiaosheng expressed his feelings, his face flushed a little, Qi Hanzhi smiled, and said: "Chief Huang, we have been delayed here for almost an hour, shouldn't it be time to go?"

Huang Xiaosheng suddenly realized, and nodded again and again, "Yes! Yes! Don't delay the main task! Chief of Staff Qi, the next march will be under your full command. You decide how to go!"

"Hahaha!" Qi Hanzhi laughed, and said, "It's no big deal, order all the soldiers to be on high alert, ready to shoot at any time, light and heavy machine guns to open the way, any targets and locations that encounter or feel dangerous, first give some money to his mother." Shuttle! No explanation!"

The sound of explosions, guns, armored vehicles and car motors sounded in every corner of downtown Seoul almost all night long. Countless Seoul citizens closed their doors and their families huddled together in a state of anxiety. In the midst of panic and panic, another dawn has ushered in. Of course, it is only for the Korean citizens of Seoul. They don't know what kind of great changes will come to this city that is about to change its owner?What will happen to my own fate?

Those traitors who usually followed the Japanese buttocks and acted like a domineering, seemed to be facing a catastrophe. Among them, there were also many members of the Yamato National Standing Team, but they were still much less courageous, and they did not come from In their bones, with the determination to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, when the sound of guns and explosions rang out in the night sky of Seoul, these guys dropped the explosives on their bodies and slipped back home in a daze.

However, in the urban area of ​​Seoul, those Japanese members of the Yamato National Standing Team cannot even enjoy this kind of panic. They are hidden dangers that must be eradicated. The opponent dug it out, but it was not persuasion, but mortar shells and rockets, light and heavy machine gun bullets as dense as migratory locusts, soaring flames and explosions.

That night, all the citizens of Seoul stayed up all night, and the air above the city was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, and a horrible atmosphere.
