Chapter 690: What’s the point of following a dead person? (Thanks to ‘Hongyun Dangtou’ for the reward!)

Fanzhi.

The moon has set and the sun is about to rise. The whole sky is gray and gloomy with the chill of late autumn.

“Captain… no, Captain…”

In the alley, a figure was wandering on the street, and when he turned in with his hands tucked into his sleeves, there were already more than a dozen people standing inside. These people seldom made any sound, and even when they rubbed their hands in the cold, they would be glared at by a man with a particularly big forehead.

Hu Dabener looks very strange, with a small face and a big forehead, as if his eyes are in the middle of his face, and all his facial features are squeezed in the lower half of his face.

But the group of people behind him and the people who had just entered the alley were extremely respectful to him. It was a kind of respect that came from the heart after being conquered.

“Is everyone here?”

“Done.”

“What about the others? How are their preparations going?”

“Everything is ready.”

Hu Dabener knows that these new recruits under his command are nervous. If he can’t get along with them day and night, can he be called “Captain”?

But this is wartime, and you have to take responsibility for whether you are nervous or not. Although the army fights as a whole, before that you must first be a qualified individual who can control your emotions, otherwise how can you be qualified to be a part of the collective.

He looked out along the alley. A hundred meters up the street, two figures were standing against a tall courtyard wall. Soldiers with guns were lying on top of the roofs of the Huihailou restaurant opposite the wall, the Ping’an Pawnshop next to Huihailou, and the Yanzhi Pavilion to the west.

From Hu Daben’erluo’s perspective, he could still see some of the soldiers, but if he looked from the “Former Fanshi County Government” across the street, he could not see them at all.

“preparation!”

In such a cold temperature, the people in the alley undressed and pulled out bayonets from their belts. They followed Hu Daben’er along the wall, while Hu Daben’er kept his eyes on the roof of the building across the street, waiting for the signal to charge.

The instructor was lying on the roof at the moment. When he was breathing, his breath kept floating up from the corners of his mouth. He turned his head and saw Hu Dabener looking around at the entrance of the alley. At that moment, he whispered, “Pull the bolt!”

Then, the company instructor, holding a Nambu-style pistol, raised his hand and aimed at the soldier standing guard at the gate of the compound. When he heard the frequent “click, click” sounds beside his ear, he made a prompt decision: “Shoot!”

boom!
At such a close distance, he pulled the trigger directly, and the bullet shot down from the roof and pierced his head.

puff!
The Japanese soldier standing guard at the door was shot in the chest and fell backwards due to the impact of the bullet. The helmet on his head was knocked off the moment he fell to the ground and rolled along the ground.

The next second, gunshots were heard from the rooftops of several shops, and the sound of gunfire from the Type 38 rifles became one and the same – bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

The glass of the houses in the “former county government compound” was completely shattered. The sounds of dozens of Type 38 rifles being pulled, bullets being fired, glass being shattered and falling to the ground, and the devils’ shrill cries and panic sounds came one after another.

When Hu Daben heard the gunshot, he immediately shouted, “Grenade!”

After saying that, he rushed out first, and the soldiers behind him followed closely with big strides in the hail of bullets.

Jiang Juner, who rushed out with the crowd, was from Shanxi. This was his first time participating in a battle after joining the army. When he rushed out of the alley, he saw bullets fired from the rooftop towards the “former Fanshi County Government Compound” forming beams of light under the night sky. The entire compound was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves that he could not understand at all. His head was numb at the time!
“Remember! All the Japanese troops in Fanshi are stationed in the ‘Former County Government Compound’. There is only one squad, seventy or eighty people…” At this time, the company commander had forgotten everything he said…

“We are divided into two teams. One team is unarmed, but is on standby with short blades and grenades. The other team is lying in ambush on the roof of a store opposite the county government. As soon as the gunshots are heard, the short blade team will charge. There are only five bullets in the Type 38 rifle, and they cannot fire continuously. In other words, we have to rush across the 180 meters and throw all the grenades into the county government compound within five gunshots. Then, we will charge in with bayonets in hand and completely end the battle…”

I can’t even remember the tactical arrangements!

His nervousness was stuck in his throat, and he just followed the figure in front of him, unable to react to what he should and should not do.

“Pie!”

Hu Daben forgot to say a word. He forgot to say the specific process of operating the grenade. But when Hu Daben threw the grenade into the courtyard through the wall, there was an explosion and the fire surged in the courtyard. Jiang Juner was awakened by the explosion. It was as if he had just slept and came back to his soul. When he saw the world clearly, he saw his comrades around him throwing grenades, so he raised his hand and threw a grenade.

He was so nervous that he even forgot to unscrew the cover under the grenade, and he was completely numbed by the explosions in front of him!
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Jiang Jun’er walked forward with his head down, unable to understand what ‘killing’ meant. There was only fire in his eyes, but he had no idea what he was doing. Just as he was about to turn in through the gate of the compound, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, pulled him back and pressed him against the wall – boom!

At this time, smoke and dust from the grenade explosion in the yard poured out through the gate. Hu Daben was stuck against the wall. He grabbed the front of his shirt and slapped him in the face: “You idiot! Damn it, even if you are craving for meat sauce, you can’t drink out all the meat on your body!”

Snapped!
The slap was so loud that after the slap, Jiang Juner seemed to wake up, and even his eyes were clear! “Company Commander!”

He just nervously called the company commander “regiment commander”, and then he seemed to have lost his soul on the battlefield. If this had happened during the training in Xin County, he would at least be punished with a five-kilometer march, but now, Hu Daben had no time to deal with him.

“bugler!”

The bugler trained by 217 blew the charge on the roof with a trumpet, and the sound seemed to drive away the entire darkness.

Tick-tick, tack-tack!
Tick-tick, tack-tack!
When the trumpet sounded, the first ray of sunlight mixed into the night in the dim light, but it was not a clear ‘dawn’, but a chaos of being about to get dark and about to get bright. The sky reflected a red color from the east in the midst of light and darkness.

“Rush!!!”

Hu Daben pushed Jiang Juner away, threw the bayonet into the air, changed from holding the bayonet in his forehand to catching the bayonet in his backhand, turned around and rushed into the yard.

There was no one in the yard, of course there was no one. There were gunshots and grenades, how could there be someone there?

But Hu Daben didn’t stop and rushed into the main room!

The main building in the county government compound has been converted into a barracks. There are still a few Type 38 rifles on the gun rack that have not been taken away in time, and a body lying in a pool of blood under the gun rack. It is estimated that he was hit by a bullet when he took the gun. The office desk next to it has been cleared out. There are several helmets neatly placed on the desk, and a helmet with obvious bullet holes that fell to the ground after being hit by a bullet.

Hu Dabener took just one look and ran to the next room. He raised his leg and kicked the half-open door – bang!

After kicking the door open, the first thing that came out of the room was the smell of blood. There were several Japanese corpses in loincloths and with bare thighs lying on the floor between the beds. When he heard the noise and looked toward the back window, he saw someone squatting on the back window, preparing to jump over the window to the back of the house.

Hu Daben took a step forward, first raised his hand to grab the back of the man’s collar, and then stabbed him in the back with the knife-holding hand. The whole movement was smooth and fluid!

“what!!!”

The Japanese soldier who was stabbed fell backwards as if he had lost his strength, but the moment his weight slid down along the blade, his body straightened up in pain, and he struggled in Hu Daben’er’s hands, “pop bang” like a dehydrated fish, and fell out of the window dancing with joy.

When Hu Daben’erluo drew his sword and dodged sideways, he let the Japanese soldier fall to the ground, turned around and rode on him. While pressing his body down, he stabbed the opponent’s ribs with the bayonet in his hand. He tilted his wrist upward and cursed: “Fuck you! Do you still remember your father from Xifengkou?”

“Your father has traded in his big knife for a small one today, but his mother is still going to kill you!”

cough~
The Japanese soldier struggled hard, his whole body was stretched straight, and strange noises kept coming out of his mouth, as if he could survive if he could move forward a little more. He kicked his legs desperately until his face was stiff, blood burst out of his mouth, and blood foam gushed out. He didn’t even have time to cough, and he froze in place.

“Company commander!”

“Captain, wait for me!”

“Captain, where have you been?”

Jiang Juner rushed in and saw Hu Daben’er lying on the Japanese soldier and then straightening up. At this moment, Hu Daben’er pulled out the bayonet that had stabbed into the Japanese soldier’s body. A stream of blood gushed out from the Japanese soldier’s wound and spread all over the ground.

At that moment, Jiang Juner didn’t know what had stimulated him, so he rushed towards the corpse with the knife in his hand: “Ah!!!”

The knife stabbed into the devil’s chest.

He was fighting with a corpse on the ground, clumsily twisting the bayonet. Hu Daben laughed at the cruel scene and patted him on the shoulder: “Enough, why bother with a dead man?”

“I’ll catch you alive in a moment, be obedient.”

dead?

Jiang Juner seemed to be slow to react. He raised his head towards Hu Dabener with a look of surprise on his face.

“Comrades, charge!!!”

The instructor led the entire company of soldiers down from the house and were rushing into the courtyard. At this moment, fighting was taking place everywhere in the courtyard, with continuous sounds of gunfire, shouting, and screaming… Hu Daben, this tiger, led a reconnaissance company of more than 100 people, led the task of opening the city gate at night, and went straight to the Japanese base, fighting for his life with a squad of Japanese in the city!
