Chapter 19: Come on, devils!

  "Captain, are you alright?"

  Wang Changhai crawled out of the mountain ditch, patted his butt and said nonchalantly: "Nothing's wrong, with my physique, how could I have any problems? Everyone speed up, He Laozhang is still waiting for us!"

  The warrior responded with a sound and turned around to run towards the front of the team.

  The warrior ran far away, and the smile on Wang Changhai's face instantly disappeared. He stretched out his hand to rub his buttocks, constantly inhaling cold air: "I'm going to... it really fucking hurts!"

  Dai'er quickly ran up from behind and saw Wang Changhai, excitedly shouting: "Wang big guy, you're here!"

  As soon as he saw Dai'er, Wang Changhai hurriedly put down his hand that was rubbing his buttocks and smiled with a grin. Since Dai'er followed Qin Yang to Ji Zhou, he had noticed that the relationship between Dai'er and Qin Yang was not ordinary. Qin Yang took care of her like his own little sister. Moreover, Dai'er's usual cheerful demeanor, like a little bird, brought a lot of laughter to the 109th Travel Department, and the soldiers behind her back called her "Happy Skylark".

  The battle of Mengzi Ridge, she originally wanted to follow Qin Yang and the others into action, but Qin Yang took into consideration that their medical team were all girls, so he arranged for them to intercept the small group sent by Lin to gather intelligence. That task was relatively safer. With Dai'er's skills, although they were girls, ordinary soldiers were no match for them.

  Of course, if there are too many people, it's not just them, even Qin Yang and the others can't resist. Dozens of people will be swallowed up by the rolling crowd in an instant.

  Although Dai'er was very unwilling, under Qin Yang's stern command, she could only pout and nod in agreement.

  Qin Yang and his men were fighting bloody battles on the summit, while Dai Er and five other girls had intercepted no less than five batches of Japanese scouts. On the road outside their ambush in the thicket, there were more than a dozen bodies of Japanese soldiers lying horizontally and vertically.

  When she saw the Japanese Ito and Kawauchi cavalry regiments appear, Dye knew her mission was over. The five of them could not possibly stop this army of thousands, so before the Japanese arrived at the thicket, they had already quietly withdrawn and returned to the command post.

  Although she returned to the command post, Dai'er was still worried about Qin Yang. This time, Qin Yang had gone into battle with an injury, and his left shoulder wound had not yet healed, which made her very concerned.

  Zhaodengyu saw Dai'er worrying, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, with Qin Yang's skills, even if he got injured, there's no one who can be his opponent!"

  For this newly acknowledged brother of his, Zhao Dengyu had an extraordinary level of trust.

  "Zhang, do you think Qin will get hurt again? Will his wound start bleeding and hurting again?" Dai'er anxiously rubbed the hem of her clothes, not showing any of the calm decisiveness she had when fighting off the enemy.

  Zhao Dengyu put down the magnifying glass in his hand, walked to Dai'er's side, patted her shoulder and comforted her that Qin Yang would be fine, and she calmed down a bit.

  When she heard that Wang Changhai was going to lead the team to Mengzi Ridge Great Wall to support, Dai'er couldn't sit still and asked to follow along. Zhao Dengyu and the special warfare medical team's sisters persuaded her for half a day but had no effect. In the end, Zhao Dengyu could only agree to let her go with them.

  "King Big Kid, what's wrong with you?" Dai'er looked up and down at Wang Changhai.

  Wang Changhai's face turned red, earlier when they were marching, he was so tired that he dozed off and accidentally stepped into a shallow ditch, although he wasn't hurt, but got covered in dirt, with two dry leaves stuck to his head.

  "Nothing... nothing, just accidentally fell!" Wang Changhai covered up, his right hand behind him rubbing his sore butt.

  Dai'er naturally saw his little movement, so she greeted him and walked forward. They had walked a long way before a burst of stifled laughter came from behind.

  Apart from Dai'er, who was laughing in the distance with her head thrown back, the warriors passing by Wang Changhai's side couldn't help but curl up their lips when they saw the dry leaves on his head.

  "Laugh, laugh your fart off! Hurry up and get moving!" Wang Changhai rubbed his sore buttocks, finally noticing the strange looks from others.

  The warriors hastily lowered their heads, but a hint of a smile could still be seen at the corners of their mouths.

  After passing through several low-altitude mountain peaks, the 2nd Battalion of the 217th Regiment gradually approached the Mengzi Ridge Great Wall highlands. Suddenly, Wang Changhai stopped in his tracks and listened carefully with his ears perked up.

  A faint sound of gunfire came from the direction of Mengzi Ridge, and Wang Changhai carefully distinguished it.

  Finnish Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun, Type 79 rifle, Type 92 heavy machine gun, Japanese mortar, Type 38 Arisaka rifle, Japanese Type 11 light machine gun...

  Wang Changhai's face changed color as he realized that something must have happened at Mengzi Ridge.

  "Damn it, these bastards are coming fast!" In his heart, Wang Changhai cursed and then yelled at the soldiers: "Quickly, quickly, there's a fight up ahead! Everyone bring out their strength, whoever is slow will be settled after the battle!"

  The warriors hastened their pace, and the troops marching through the mountains seemed like a long dragon that had awakened, rushing towards Mengzi Ridge.

  Wang Changhai climbed up a hill and looked towards Mengzi Ridge Great Wall highland.

  In the telescope, Mengzi Ridge was shrouded in a thick fog of smoke, with flashes of firelight bursting out from time to time, accompanied by the sound of massive explosions and the cries of fierce fighting carried on the wind, intermittent but clear. On the summit, the flag of the 29th Army fluttered in the north wind, though torn to shreds by shellfire, it still refused to fall.

  "Hold on, brothers!" Wang Changhai muttered to himself as he quickly walked down the mountain.

  Mengzi Ridge high ground on.

  The Japanese devils retreated again like the tide, leaving behind more than a hundred corpses on the battlefield, and what was left were Qin Yang and his men covered in blood.

  The devils have retreated, He Jiguo threw down his big knife and sat on the ground with a thud, panting heavily.

  "Lao He, how many times is this?" Qin Yang asked He Jikun, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a large hand while holding the broken rifle.

  The relationship between the two people has become much closer in battle, and Qin Yang no longer calls He Jiguang "Commander", but instead calls him "Old He" as He Jiguang wishes.

  "I've completely forgotten, it's all mixed up!" He Kaito stretched out his legs and closed his eyes comfortably, rummaging through the body of a Japanese officer beside him, seemingly searching for something. Finally, he raised an eyebrow and pulled out a small silver flask from the pocket.

  He unscrewed the cap, bowed his head to ask the wine in the pot for its fragrance, and let out a comfortable sigh. He raised the wine pot and poured it into his mouth.

  "Leave some for me!" Qin Yang saw it and immediately threw away his rifle, rushing towards the wine jug.

  He hastily poured the wine from the pot into his mouth and muttered unclearly: "It's gone, it's gone!"

  Qin Yang grabbed the wine jug with one hand, and the two of them rolled around on the ground. Finally, Qin Yang managed to snatch the jug away and poured all the remaining wine into his mouth.

  He Jikun looked at Qin Yang, who was tilting his head back to pour the last drop of wine from the jug into his mouth, and chuckled.

  After drinking, Qin Yang and He Jiwen sat side by side leaning against the bunker, gazing up at the sky.

  The sky is very blue with a few white clouds floating about, although there is a slight north wind, it cannot dispel the warmth brought by the gentle sunshine.

  For a long time, neither of them spoke, just quietly gazing up at the sky.

  "What's on your mind?" He Jikun broke the silence first.

  Qin Yang fiddled with the silver wine jug in his hand, his gaze piercing through the sky with depth, "You say, what is most important to people, is it boundless ambition, inexhaustible wealth, a multitude of beauties, or something else?"

  He Ke Yun was stunned, he didn't expect Qin Yang to think of these things at this time, he fell silent, thinking.

  Qin Yang seemed to have no intention of letting him answer: "Actually, the most precious thing in life is a feeling. Maybe you don't have a mountain of gold and silver treasures, maybe you don't have the power to turn clouds and rain, but as long as you have a genuine feeling, that's enough!

  We are soldiers, wearing this uniform for our own faith, no one forced us to do so, the reason is that we have a faith in our hearts, which is to protect and defend the land that nurtures me, and we will not hesitate to pay any price for her.

  "Today we may all die here, but I will have no regrets, for I have fulfilled my duty as a soldier. I am proud of the sacred name of soldier!"

  Qin Yang's voice grew more and more agitated, with a captivating light flashing in his eyes.

  He suddenly sat up from the ground.

  "Alright, even if it's a dead horse wrapped in a saddle, what about it? A great man wearing this military uniform is not afraid of being buried in the wilderness. Today let us brothers join hands and give those Japanese devils a lesson, let them know what a real soldier is!"

  Two people shake hands with their right hands and smile at each other.

  The shouting of the Japanese commander came from below, and the two men supported their exhausted bodies and walked to the side of the fortifications to look down and saw that the Japanese soldiers had gathered about two companies in number, preparing for today's 21st charge.

  "Hei Kui turned back and shouted: 'How much ammunition do we have left?'"

  The warrior in charge of the ammunition gritted his teeth and said, "Machine guns have no bullets left, there are only three mortar shells, rifle bullets are enough for one person to have 20 rounds, each person has two hand grenades! The rest is gone!"

  "Grandma's, it seems like we're going all out now!" Qin Yang also couldn't help but blurt out a crude phrase.

  Looking around at the remaining forty or fifty soldiers of the 29th Army, He Jianguo suddenly smiled. He picked up his big knife and jumped onto an empty ammunition box, surveying the crowd.

  "Are you afraid?"

  The warriors all puffed out their chests: "We're not afraid!"

  "Alright! Let's go!"

  He Kexiang raised his hand and pointed to the tattered 29th Army flag, "Today our 29th Army's flag is flying on our heads. Since the Central Plains War, the 29th Army has never been a coward. Today is no exception. As long as one person remains, the 29th Army's flag cannot fall!"

  "Take it easy, comrades! If the devils want to bring down our army flag, let them trample over our brothers' corpses first!" The only surviving squad leader shouted loudly.

  The warriors responded in unison.

  He Jianguo picked up the big flag and handed it over to the squad leader, instructing him: "Go, insert it at the highest point on the mountain!"

  The 29th Army's flag was soon fluttering in the highest place on the Great Wall.

  The shadow of the Japanese army has appeared on the mountain road, and the first one is that Ito. As for Kawachi, he fell under the swift sword of Wan Lai's voice in the last charge.

  "Everyone enter the position, I command, fight to the last man and gun, never retreat!" He Jiguo led the way into the position.

  Qin Yang waved his hand and the special forces members, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, rushed out from their cover. They had not been able to participate in battle all along, and were almost driven mad by it.

  "Give me some morale, don't lose face for our Warrior Soul!" Qin Yang roared.

  The special forces members responded with a thunderous "Yes!"
