Chapter 909 Persuasion
On the 1st day of Nanhuai and Hebei, since the army could not conquer the Huaihe defense line, it began a crazy attack in the north.
The battle on the LY front line has become increasingly fierce.
After arriving at Gaogang, a man looked at the black smoke rising in the distance and said, "I don't think I should have listened to you just now."
The person who spoke was Hao Xiazizi
"Then just wait there to die?" Shang Zhen, who was with Blind Hao, was very disapproving.
Previously, the village they were guarding was bombed indiscriminately by the Japanese army, and then Hao Xiazizi Company fought with the attacking Japanese infantry.
After they repelled the Japanese attack, Hao Xiazi only had half of his company left.
But that's it, but they didn't have much ammunition left, and at that time Shang Zhen heard the roar of Japanese armored vehicles from ahead.
When they looked again, they found four Japanese tanks in front of them.
In that situation, if Hao Xiazi's company still had grenades, Shang Zhen would not persuade Hao Xiazi to retreat, but their entire company only had a few grenades left.
In Shang Zhen's opinion, use grenades that are no more than five fingers to blow up four Japanese tanks made of steel and iron? What an international joke!
That's why Shang Zhen persuaded Hao Xiazi to give up the position. In that case, they would die if they stayed in that village!
"How can that be called waiting to die? That means people are staying at the position!" Hao Xiazi said angrily.
"What?" Shang Zhen, who is also a veteran, looked at Blind Hao with a surprised look. This was the first time he heard this word.
After a moment, Shang Zhen, who had recovered from his surprise, retorted unceremoniously: "Pull him down quickly! From the time I fought on September 18th to now, no one dares to defend his position like that anymore, and I haven't seen any of them. We Chinese have really won a positional battle! Instead, we have lost countless positions."
"Then you're going to be a deserter?" Ma Erpao, who was lying on the other side of Hao Xiazi, said dissatisfiedly.
"Go away!" Shang Zhen said rudely, "I have killed more Japanese than I dare say. They are enough for your entire company from the beginning to now. How dare you say that I am a deserter? Who do you think you are?" !”
Shang Zhen has now discovered that you can't be polite when talking to people like Hao Xiazi. They all have a bad temper. If you are polite to them, they will think that you are illiterate and will run away from you in terms of speech and behavior. you.
"You may be right, but soldiers have to obey orders from above.
What we are guarding now is LY. If LY is lost, Little Japan will attack Taierzhuang. After attacking Taierzhuang, it will attack Xuzhou.
Therefore, our position should not be lost! "The company commander Hao Xiazi is sometimes confused, but that doesn't mean he is irrational and cannot think. Otherwise, how could he listen to Shang Zhen's suggestion and withdraw?
When Shang Zhen saw that Blind Hao had gone back on his word, he looked left and right, and saw that the veterans under Blind Hao were all looking at them who were talking, but no one said anything.
Of course Shang Zhen understood what these soldiers were thinking, and they also wanted to survive. However, as a soldier, since Commander Pang ordered to defend LY, the military order and the honor of the soldiers prevented them from retreating. If they died, they would die.
This is similar to what the Northeast Army said: "Be proud of death and ashamed of life."
Why is there a knot in his head? Shang Zhen feels like he has a headache.
He couldn't say that it was wrong to defend the position, but Shang Zhen would never be able to use his own body to withstand the superior firepower of the Japanese army.
But Shang Zhen was Shang Zhen, and soon he had a new statement: "Let me put it this way, you should treat retreat as an option."
"You just said a fucking flower, and we abandoned our position." Blind Hao, who had already regretted his actions, said dissatisfied.
"Then let me ask you, if we were still in that village now, do you think we would be dead or alive?" Shang Zhen asked.
When Shang Zhen asked, the veterans under Hao Xiazi began to exchange glances.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is an exchange or not. They can't deceive themselves. If they were still in that village now, every one of them would be dead.
"They are all dead, right?" Shang Zhen asked next. No soldier answered, and neither did Hao Xiazi, because what Shang Zhen asked was nonsense.
They can't blow up the Japanese tanks, and they don't even have many bullets left. If they fight the Japanese, there is no other possibility except death. The only difference is that before they die, see if they can kill a Japanese to use as a backup. Yes
"Can we say that we have already died once in that village?" Shang Zhen followed the instructions.
Still no one answered Shang Zhen, but their veterans, led by Hao Xiazi, had already acquiesced to Shang Zhen's statement.
"Since we've already died once, why don't we die in a different way this time?" Shang Zhen's tone was a question, but it was better to say it was a suggestion.
"Would it be better to be a deserter and be beaten to death by the supervising team?" Ma Erpao teased from the side.
"Shut up!" This time, before Shang Zhen could say anything else, Blind Hao spoke. Then he looked at Shang Zhen and said, "What else do you have in mind?"
"It's getting dark soon. Let's go back to the village. Don't worry about whether we can take the village back, but it's always okay to kill more little devils, right?" Shang Zhen said.
He said this while observing Hao Xiazi's expression. He didn't know whether Hao Xiazi could turn this problem around.
Seeing the uncertainty on Blind Hao's face, Shang Zhen thought for a while and then advised: "We will definitely not be able to defeat the Japs' tanks with our piles.
But if we fight at night, we can at least be in close combat with the Japs. If we fight against the Japs' tanks, it will be 30-70, no, let's call 19-9, and we will have a narrow escape.
But when we are in close combat with the little Jaap, we can’t shoot 50-50, so we have to shoot 40-6, right? "
Shang Zhen's statement is already easy to understand and can no longer be easy to understand.
After a while, the blind man Hao finally thought about Mo'er's arrival, and laughed and cursed: "Are you fucking doing business with me?"
Seeing Hao Xiazi's attitude, Shang Zhen knew that Hao Xiazi must have agreed with his suggestion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He wanted to say it, but fighting the Japanese was not like doing business. You had to spend a small amount of money to do something big, and you couldn't do a loss-making business!
However, now that Hao Xiazi has agreed to his suggestion, Shang Zhen will not say anything more.
It was already afternoon, the sky was hazy, and the thick smoke from the Japanese bombing in the distance almost merged with the sky.
"It's best if it rains, so that the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles will lie down.
But even if the little devil's tanks and armored vehicles are lying down, we'd better get some grenades somewhere! "Hao Xiazi sighed.
He had already agreed with Shang Zhen's suggestion and planned to attack the Japanese army in the dark and at night, but without grenades, his ability to rush into a village occupied by the Japanese army would be limited after all!
However, maybe there really is something called God's will. Just over half an hour later, an observation post sent by Hao Xiazi suddenly came back in a hurry and reported that the grenade was there!
It turned out that there was a platoon of soldiers in the battalion who went back to move ammunition and came back with about thirty boxes of grenades. However, when they came back, the battalion headquarters had already been occupied by the Japanese!
They could only avoid the Japanese army, but they happened to be caught by Hao Xiazi's observation post!
"Another way to die, damn it!" Blind Hao muttered after seeing the grenade landed, and then suddenly asked Shang Zhen beside him, "You kid won't take advantage of the night battle to escape, will you?"
Shang Zhen didn't answer. If he wanted to run away, he would have run away. But now he was looking at a soldier not far away holding a rifle and taking a nap.
He thought to himself that someone should have taken advantage of the night battle to escape, but it wouldn't be me.
The soldier's eyes that Shang Zhen was looking at were closed, but if the soldier opened his eyes, everyone would find that one of the soldier's eyes was bigger and the other was smaller, that was a pair of big and small eyes!
