On August 19, 1944, in the evening, a drizzle began to fall in the sky. The special agent company led by Dong Limao was ordered to take a detour to the west bank of the Nujiang River. **Bubble! Book. Bar*
"Look, company commander, there is a bridge on the river!" Zeng Zifan pointed to a temporary pontoon bridge built on the river.
On the bridge, there were vehicles and officers and soldiers delivering ammunition across the river.
Dong Limao knew very well that his time had come, and at this moment, he did not have the photo of his great-great-grandfather on his body. It would be impossible to go back through time.
In the blink of an eye, more than two years passed. During this period, Dong Limao experienced countless brutal killings and watched his close comrades die in front of his eyes. His mood was not as cheerful as Zeng Zifan's when he saw the floating bridge. Instead, I felt a sadness rising from the bottom of my heart.
Wang Jiagui saw an American truck with a canvas cover coming over the bridge. There was a jeep clearing the way in front of him. The officer on the jeep was none other than Qin Haoran. He also saw Dong Limao crossing the bridge. The car stopped and jumped out.
"Company Commander Dong, we meet again." Qin Haoran held Dong Limao's hand tightly with both hands and said excitedly.
Dong Limao looked at Qin Haoran¡¯s clean military uniform with the rank of lieutenant colonel, smiled and said: ¡°Captain Qin, I didn¡¯t expect to be promoted so soon.¡±
"Hehe" Qin Haoran smiled awkwardly and said, "Why are you here?"
"I was ordered to die." Dong Limao replied with a wry smile.
Qin Haoran pulled Dong Limao aside and whispered: "You have to be careful about that bastard Zheng Chengkui. He always asks the superiors to let you and your agent company fight the most difficult battles. He has bad intentions!"
"HahaThank you Captain Qin for the reminder. It's okay. I'm still living well." Dong Limao said with a smile.
"By the way, there's something" Qin Haoran's face darkened, as if he was hesitating whether to talk or not.
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Dong Limao asked.
"Lan Xiang Doctor Dao" Qin Haoran seemed unable to speak.
"Hurry up! What's wrong with Lan Xiang?" Dong Limao grabbed Qin Haoran's shoulders with both hands and asked, shaking.
Qin Haoran did not dare to look at Dong Limao: "I'm sorry for you, for failing to protect Lan Xiang"
Dong Limao thought that Dao Lanxiang was dead, so he remembered grabbing Qin Haoran by the collar and saying, "You promised me! You would protect her! But now you are here to tell me"
"Doctor Dao, she's fine! I'm talking about the baby in her belly being gone!" Qin Haoran blurted out in a hurry.
Dong Limao was stunned for a moment, then slowly let go of Qin Haoran's collar, and said to himself in despair: "My child is gone"
Qin Haoran saw Dong Limao's lonely look, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I can understand."
"What happened?" Dong Limao grabbed Qin Haoran with both hands and shook him and asked, "It was fine, why is it gone?"
"When we were crossing the river at a small ferry upstream, we encountered a Japanese riverside patrol. In order to let Lanxiang cross the river first, I asked a dozen brothers to escort her onto the bamboo raft. I took the rest with me However, the bamboo raft was attacked by artillery fire from the Japanese army on the river bank and was hit by artillery shells. Fortunately, Khan pushed Doctor Dao into the river in time and survived. Doctor Doctor Dao has good water properties. Khan and her walked from the river My heart swam to the other side, but because the river water was relatively cold, and I swam hard for so long, so" Qin Haoran told Dong Limao about the general process.
"Where is Lan Xiang now?" Dong Limao asked.
"It's very safe in Dali. You don't have to worry about her." Qin Haoran replied.
"Then what are you doing here? Are you also here to die under orders?" Dong Limao asked, staring at Qin Haoran.
Qin Haoran turned back and pointed at the American truck and said, "They brought explosives."
"Explosives?" Dong Limao's heart skipped a beat: "What explosives?"
"It was an order issued directly by the expeditionary force headquarters." Qin Haoran put his mouth close to Dong Limao's ear and whispered: "I heard that this batch of explosives is the most powerful TNT explosives flown from the United States, weighing a full 3,000 kilograms! "
Dong Limao understood that these explosives were made in the United States and were about to send him to heaven. Back then, his great-grandfather was also sent to heaven with these 3,000 kilograms of explosives. Now, it was his turn again.
"It's time for me to leave. The explosives must be delivered to Commander He before dark. Captain Dong, please take care of yourself." Qin Haoran said with his fists clasped.
Dong Limao didn't say anything, staring blankly at the truck of explosives. It was like his soul had already flown into the explosive box on the truck, and headed towards Songshan together with the TNT.
"Company commander, it's time for us to hit the road." Liu Yudong came over to urge Dong Limao, and saw that his eyes were blank.Looking at the slow-moving truck, he asked strangely: "Captain Qin and the others are also here to attack Songshan?"
"It's time." Dong Limao suddenly said this, looked at Liu Yudong and said, "Tell the brothers to eat and drink here before going up the mountain."
"Ah" Liu Yudong asked confused: "But Commander He asked us to rush to the military headquarters before dark."
"Fuck Commander He!" Dong Limao cursed. He now knew that this was how his great-grandpa died.
After dark, the rain became heavier. Dong Limao and the others ate and drank in a gendarmerie tent guarding the bridge by the river. They put on their raincoats and started walking up the mountain with flashlights.
When the company marched to a distance of four to five hundred meters from the military headquarters located at the forward position of Zhuzipo, they smelled the smell of rotting corpses.
The weather was humid and hot, and many of the soldiers' officers and soldiers did not have time to bury them. They were exposed to the air and had already grown maggots and rotted away.
"Ah" Zhang Dali screamed, his feet crackling in the mud in fear.
"What's wrong?" Dong Limao shot Zhang Dali with a flashlight.
"Maggots! White maggots! My feet are full of white maggots!" Zhang Dali shouted loudly.
At this time, it seemed that other soldiers also noticed the itching of their feet from the white maggots crawling on them, and they all screamed.
"Shut up!" Dong Limao shouted: "Aren't they just some wriggling white maggots! As for those who scream like this! People dare to kill, and they are afraid of these little bugs!" His own feet , was also crawled by white maggots. I was feeling very nervous. I stamped my feet hard and shined a flashlight on my feet. Oh my god, the ground was full of white maggots and rotting corpses.
When he arrived at the headquarters of the Eighth Army, Dong Limao did not see Army Commander He Shaozhou, but he did see Li Mi who later fled with the army to the Golden Triangle of Myanmar.
Li Mi was the deputy commander of the Eighth Army. During the Battle of Songshan, he personally led a team of suicide officers who rushed towards the Japanese position in Songshan. When Dong Limao read the book about the story of the expeditionary force given by Bai Rushuang, he read It has been described that Li Mi led his men to fight on Songshan Mountain. After coming down from the mountain, Li Mi was wounded in many places and his general uniform was in tatters. He even cried and said: "This is the most difficult battle since my military career." A tough fight.¡±
Dong Limao still admired Li Mi very much. Although he was not a good person, because of Li Mi's passion for resisting the Japanese in Yunnan and Burma and the great things he led his people to do in the Golden Triangle, Dong Limao regarded him as a person from the bottom of his heart.
"Dong Jiacheng, you are late, what crime should you be guilty of!" Li Mi said gloomily after seeing Dong Limao.
Dong Limao snorted and replied: "Sooner or later I will die, otherwise, General Li, you will kill me now!"
Li Mi didn't seem to expect Dong Limao to answer like this. He took two steps forward in surprise, almost pressed his face against Dong Limao's cheek under the dim oil lamp, looked around, and then smiled.
"Sure enough! I heard a lot of rumors about Dong Jiacheng, but I didn't believe them to be true. Now I believe it. You Dong Jiacheng is indeed a man! I like it!" After Li Mi laughed, he yelled: "Someone! Here! Captain Dong, bring some delicious food!"
"You're welcome, General Li. If you have any orders, please tell me directly." Before Li Mi asked him to sit down, Dong Limao walked to an ammunition box and sat down, asking: "Is there any cigarette?"
Li Mi took out the cigarette, threw it to Dong Limao and said, "Happy! I, Li Mi, like people like you who are not afraid of death." He sat down in front of Dong Limao and lit the cigarette for Dong Limao: "Fortunately, there was no explosion today, otherwise, I will really shoot you to pieces."
Dong Limao thought to himself: Could it be that the blast was planned for August 19, but something went wrong in the middle, so it was not blasted?
After taking two puffs of cigarette, Dong Limao asked: "General Li, do you want our special agent company to complete the blasting?"
"Commander Zheng said that you, Dong Jiacheng, have led people into the Japanese army's position in Songshan many times and are very familiar with the Japanese army's fortifications. Therefore, the military commander asked Zheng Chengkui to name your special agent company, of course for the purpose of capturing Songshan." Li Mi also lit a cigarette and said: "The original plan was to blast tonight, but the Americans' plane to transport the explosives was a day late. The explosives were just delivered before dark. They are now loading explosives into the tunnel. Early tomorrow morning, At nine o'clock, your special agent company will be responsible for detonating it."
"Don't you have an officer and soldier camp in your Eighth Army?" Dong Limao asked with a sideways glance.
"Good question." Li Mi was not angry, but told Dong Limao in detail: "The tunnel is located under the bunker group on the main peak of Songshan Mountain. When the tunnel was excavated, the Japanese army on the mountain knew about it, so they sent troops many times They harassed from both sides of the tunnel in an attempt to stop our army's blasting plan, but were repelled by our army. However, the Japanese army started from the top of the mountain.Digging tunnels downwards and imposing an intensive fire blockade on our army, so explosives cannot be placed into the tunnels during the day and can only be carried out quietly at night It is not easy to send all 3,000 kilograms of potent TNT explosives into the tunnels. We estimate that it will not be completed until nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but there is no need to delay the opening of the Burma Highway, so the time for the explosion has to be set during the day. During the day, when the Japanese army's firepower is at its most crazy, the engineer battalion digs holes. It¡¯s okay, but it¡¯s not as good as your special agent company in fighting"
Dong Limao understood that what Li Mi meant was to ask the spy company to block the Japanese firepower.
