Although everyone began to be cautious and alert with Hu Biao's order, when the faint sound of heavy machine gun fire came from the rear, they all became distracted.
"The fight has finally started!" Even Hu Biao, who had issued the order to be alert, sighed softly, and there was so much anticipation in this voice.
Sure enough, the moment the heavy machine gun sounded, the gunshots became continuous.
The sound of gunfire was just like the countless firecrackers they heard in Fengtian City on New Year's Eve when they were stationed in Beidaying.
"Bullets flew, smoke filled the air, and the enemy was beaten to pieces by our heavy machine guns.
We no longer have to charge under enemy fire. Let those dwarfs from Japan, those traitors who have forgotten their roots, tremble in fear!" Chen Hanwen, a half-witted scholar, improvised a half-witted recitation.
Soldiers are soldiers, especially the soldiers in today's China, especially the soldiers in the Northeast.
Since the founding of the Republic of China, each family has had its own soldiers. Although there are some with slightly better discipline, many of them are also **, not to mention that the foundation of the Northeast Army is bandits.
If Hu Zi is a bandit, then Lao Shuai is the biggest Hu Zi, and he finally succeeds in taking the position legitimately.
The Northeast is not a place with a profound cultural heritage. The development of the Northeast is the result of the Crossing the Guandong.
In such a place where the people are rough and tough, the army produced here does not have much humanistic spirit.
The time when Chen Hanwen was most respected in Hu Biao's company was when he wrote letters home for others.
Apart from that, most of the time, the old soldiers in the company often laughed at Chen Hanwen's sour and pedantic nature.
A great man once said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
In the Northeast, it is a place where the law of the jungle is reflected in the supremacy of force. Do you think those soldiers and enlisted men would take Chen Hanwen seriously?
However, at this time, Chen Hanwen was showing off his writing skills and was unexpectedly sought after by the soldiers around him.
"Good!" Wang Laomao, who had never thought much of Chen Hanwen, praised him from the side, saying, "People with knowledge can speak better than us roughnecks!"
"Yes, yes, people like us can't even fill a basket with our big characters, but even scholars' characters can definitely fill a donkey cart!" The new platoon leader Li Fushun also praised.
It was a rare occasion for him to be praised, so Chen Hanwen felt a little embarrassed, and his pretty face turned slightly red.
This time, everyone in Hu Biao's company was in their positions. Although they were all listening to the gunshots behind them like wind and rain, no one turned to look. Naturally, the company commander Hu Biao no longer interfered and let his men bluff here.
It is a custom for people in Northeast China to be talkative and talkative. At least among Hu Biao and his group, even those who speak less now are people like Shang Zhen.
But Shang Zhen is just a new soldier. What if Shang Zhen becomes a veteran?
"Listen, our tanks are firing!" Company commander Hu Biao suddenly said amid everyone's jokes.
The old soldier's ears were naturally not bad. Even Shang Zhen, with Hu Biao's reminder, heard the faint sound of artillery coming from the rear.
"Beautiful!" Zhu Kaishan said with relief.
"Is that just averagely beautiful?" Hou Kanshan chimed in, "It's quite beautiful, it's extremely beautiful, it's truly fucking beautiful!"
Hou Kanshan's words caused laughter again.
In the Northeastern dialect, "big beauty" generally refers to a woman who is particularly beautiful, and also refers to a woman who is bold and aggressive, and can be both vulgar and plain.
If the woman’s surname is Wu, she will be called Wu Da Piaoliang. If the woman’s surname is Ma, she will be called Ma Da Piaoliang.
Of course, there are also times when it is used to refer to a man who likes to brag about himself, but that has a derogatory meaning.
Amidst the laughter and joy, they heard the sound of artillery fire behind them.
"Fuck! This little pony is having fun! Aren't all four cannons firing?" Wang Laomao said again, "Those idiots will be blown to pieces!"
There is a small cannon on each tank, and there are four tanks in total, so that means there are four cannons, right?
However, at this time, the company commander Hu Biao frowned and said thoughtfully, "The heavy machine gun fire will be enough, is there still a need to fire artillery?"
"What's wrong with firing cannons? The more cannons we fire, the faster the battle will end and the less casualties we will suffer." Li Fushun said from the side.
Li Fushun's logic was valid, and Hu Biao had nothing to say, so he stopped talking.
Even those on guard couldn't see the battlefield.
Since the Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident, a situation of mutual dependence has been formed on the battlefields of the entire three northeastern provinces.
Hu Biao and his company had already walked more than 100 miles northeast of Jinzhou City.
Although the Northeast Army's main force was attacking Zhang Xuecheng's puppet army behind them, there were also Japanese and puppet troops in front of Hu Biao and his company, and this was also their role in warning.
Everyone was still in high spirits, but at this moment, a duller and louder explosion came from behind them.
During the explosion, Company Commander Hu Biao suddenly said, "Something's wrong! It seems something's really wrong!"
Not only Hu Biao said this, but veterans like Wang Laomao and Li Fushun also changed their expressions.
"This is the sound of a cannon! Do we have cannons?" Wang Laomao asked Li Fushun.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Li Fushun, his face also becoming uncertain, asked back, but then he added, "It doesn't seem to be ours."
During the peak period of the Northeast Army, each brigade had an artillery regiment under it.
However, the cannons used in their artillery regiment cannot be called cannons. The cannons that Hu Biao and others refer to generally refer to heavy cannons with a caliber of a certain size or thicker.
But as far as they knew, at least when they were defending Beidaying, all the heavy artillery there fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
Just after the September 18th Incident, Hu Biao's company followed the main force, which had already retreated towards Jinzhou.
As for other areas in the three northeastern provinces, there are still some local troops. It is said that Ma Zhanshan, the chairman of HLJ Province, has more than 10,000 people under his command. Some Northeast Army generals such as Li Du and Wang Lin did not lead their troops out. They were all fighting against the Japanese army.
While everyone was puzzled, another dull explosion was heard. It was exactly the sound of a cannon that Hu Biao had mentioned.
"Something is really wrong, something happened!" Hu Biao murmured in his heart. At the same time, he glanced at veterans like Wang Laomao and Li Fushun to signal them to stop talking nonsense.
It has been more than an hour since the four tanks passed by.
If Zhang Xuecheng's troops did not have heavy weapons, the battle would have been over.
But now the sound of cannons was heard, which was really wrong.
What is going on here?
"Feng Zhantian, you and your men stay here to guard, Wang Laomao, Li Fushun and your men follow me!" Hu Biao gave the order.
