When Dong Limao heard Cha Hu Chun say, "There is a spare fuse in the tunnel," his heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the detonator Cha Hu Chun had thrown in the mud before being taken away by the soldiers, and pointed at Cha Hu Chun, who had already retreated far away. Hu Chun shouted:
"Didn't you miss it? Why do you need to keep a spare lead!"
Wang Jiagui ran over at this moment: "Company commander, why did they run away?"
"He Shaozhou wants our spies to be here!" Dong Limao replied loudly.
Wang Jiagui squatted down, picked up the detonator and said, "Let's detonate the explosives now."
"Don't move!" Dong Limao squatted down and grabbed it: "We are too close to the tunnel. If it explodes, all the brothers will be dead!"
"What should we do? Someone has to detonate it!" Wang Jiagui said anxiously.
Dong Limao stuck his head out of the ditch and took a look at the Japanese bunkers on the mountain. Wang Jiagui and the others killed a few of the dozen or so little Japs who rushed out of the bunkers. The rest, like gophers, burrowed back into the bunkers and turned around. Tell Wang Jiagui: "Listen to my order in a moment. I will ask you to retreat. You should run back immediately!"
"What about you, company commander?" Wang Jiagui asked.
"Why are you asking so many questions!" Dong Limao yelled, feeling that he was about to say goodbye to Wang Jiagui. He knelt down, patted his shoulder and said, "Er Tiao, there are not many brothers left in our old Ninth Company. Promise me , if something happens to me you have to take them alive!"
Wang Jiagui¡¯s eyes were moist, his mouth was flat, and he choked and said: "No! I will not agree to your request! Only you, the company commander, can bring them back alive! I can't do it"
Dong Limao grabbed Wang Jiagui's shoulders with both hands, shook him hard and said: "Er Tiao! Listen to me! I, Dong Jiacheng, am a man who values ??the lives of my brothers more than my own! When did I ever ask you for this?" You must do it for me! Do you hear me? It must be done!"
Wang Jiagui shed two tears, nodded and cried, "I promise the company commander to bring back the remaining brothers of the Ninth Company alive!"
"This is my good brother in Dong Jiacheng!" Dong Limao laughed, punched Wang Jiagui in the chest, pushed him backwards into the mud, and just held the phone down.
Wang Jiagui felt the microphone vibrating on his back. He turned over and found the microphone from the mud, and put it to his ear: "Hello"
Dong Limao grabbed him and said, "I am Dong Jiacheng"
The voice from before came from the phone: "I am He Shaozhou. Now, I order you! Detonate the explosives in the tunnel immediately! Execute the order!"
Dong Limao said loudly: "There are still brothers who need to withdraw, I can't detonate"
"What! Dong Jiacheng, are you crazy! Detonate the explosives quickly! Otherwise, I will shoot you!" the person on the phone ordered angrily.
"No! I can't detonate the explosives until the brothers have completely withdrawn!" Dong Limao was not afraid of any military commander. Now even if Jiang personally called him and asked him to detonate the explosives, he would still dare to go against him.
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, as if he felt that if he didn't agree to Dong Limao's words, the explosives would not be detonated, which would be detrimental to the war situation. Dong Limao could hear a sigh, and then the voice came again: "Okay, I'll give you fifteen more." Minutes, nine fifteen, detonate the explosive on time!"
Dong Limao threw away the microphone, glanced at the dozen or so sniper squad soldiers who were still shooting, then stared at Wang Jiagui and said: "Erjo, it's time. You take your brothers and withdraw from the battle now!"
"Company commander, what should you do?" Wang Jiagui asked without moving.
"I have my own way, don't forget, I can't die." Dong Limao said with a smile: "Go and execute the order! Remember what I told you."
Wang Jiagui replied: "Yes!" and ran away.
Dong Limao crawled behind the heavy machine gun and began to cover Wang Jiagui and the others' retreat. Every soldier who walked past him would stop and slap him on the back. Finally, Wang Jiagui said: "Company Commander, I'm leaving!"
Dong Limao did not look back and focused on the shooting of the heavy machine gun. Without the precise shooting of the sniper squad, the little Japs on the mountain began to shoot wildly. Almost all the bullets in the shooting holes flew towards Dong Limao.
After Wang Jiagui and the others withdrew from the fire range of the Japanese bunker, Dong Limao also cleared out a magazine, turned his back to the trench, and grabbed the detonator. He knew in his heart that the detonator was useless. If it was useful, my great-grandfather would He wouldn't rush into the tunnel, but he still wanted to give it a try. He gritted his teeth and pressed the detonator hard, but no matter how hard he tried, the detonator just wouldn't go down. He tried it several times, but it still didn't work. Somewhat anxious, I held the detonator with both hands and smashed the pressed handle onto the heavy machine gun. There were a few bangs, but not only did it fail.?The handle of the detonator fell inwards, breaking the pressing handle instead.
"So that's what happened. There was something wrong with the detonator, so my great-grandfather had to rush into the tunnel to detonate the explosives." Dong Limao was discouraged. He knew that this was what his great-grandfather really encountered back then, so he didn't rush into the tunnel himself. It is impossible to detonate the explosives.
Dong Limao touched his body. The American windproof lighter was still in his pocket, but the cigarettes were gone. He wanted to smoke one.
At this time, the machine guns in the Japanese bunker on the mountain stopped firing. Dong Limao felt strange. He stuck his head out of the trench and took a look. The Japanese in the bunker had come out again. He quickly ran to the position of another machine gun and pointed at those few The Japanese who were about to pounce at the entrance of the tunnel fired fiercely, mowing down a few, and those who were alive hurriedly retreated. Dong Limao picked up a submachine gun in the gap, wrote down the magazine and looked at it. There were still bullets in it, so He took a deep breath, jumped out of the trench, and ran towards the entrance of the tunnel.
From the shooting port of the bunker on the mountain, when I saw Dong Limao running out of the trench, I started shooting at him again. The few Japanese who retreated also turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel.
Dong Limao was shooting while taking cover and running forward. The bullets fired from the Japanese bunker flew over his head and around him.
Wang Jiagui led the sniper squad soldiers and retreated to the location of the special agent company.
Zhang Dali grabbed Wang Jiagui by the collar and shouted: "Why did you leave the company commander there alone!"
Wang Jiagui said nothing, his eyes filled with tears.
Zhang Dali pushed Wang Jiagui away, hugged his machine gun captured from the Japanese, and shouted at the brothers in the machine gun platoon: "Brothers! Follow me!"
Wang Jiagui hugged Zhang Dali and shouted: "The company commander said it! You want me to take the remaining brothers of the old ninth company back alive! No one is allowed to rush forward!"
Liu Yudong and Gou Hao used their binoculars to see Dong Limao moving forward with difficulty, and felt anxious in their hearts.
"Liu Platoon Commander, we can't let the company commander rush to the enemy position alone. Let's go up!" Gou Hao said to Liu Yudong.
"What are you going to do, company commander?" Liu Yudong didn't understand why Dong Limao rushed forward.
"Give the order quickly!" Gou Hao said loudly and impatiently.
Liu Yudong was still hesitating. He raised the telescope again and saw Dong Limao rushing towards the entrance of the tunnel. He raised his right hand and waved it back. He understood that this was Dong Limao telling him again that he should retreat with his brothers from the spy company, and the explosives would be ready. Detonated.
"Brothers! Move back!" Liu Yudong ordered loudly.
"What! Move back! Liu Yudong, you" Gou Hao grabbed Liu Yudong's collar.
"This is the order the company commander gave me before he left! He waved his hand back just now! He wants us to evacuate the explosion danger area!" Liu Yudong shouted with tears in his eyes.
Dong Limao rushed to the entrance of the tunnel before several Japanese soldiers rushed down the mountain, but the submachine gun in his hand was out of bullets, so he had to pull out his saber, slit the throat of a Japanese soldier who rushed towards him, and picked up the Japanese soldier who was talking about it. With his submachine gun, he fired at the Japs who were rushing towards them with a few monster screams. After he killed all the Japs who rushed down the mountain, he turned his back to Liu Yudong and the others before getting into the tunnel. He raised his right hand and waved it back a few times. He gave his last order before entering the tunnel, then lay down and crawled into the tunnel.
The deeper he climbed in, the darker it became. Dong Limao could hardly see anything in front of him. He began to become anxious. How could he see the explosive fuse in such darkness? Just when he was worried about this, he hit his head on something hard and stretched out his hand to touch it. It was the boxes of explosives stacked in front.
It turned out that 3,000 kilograms of TNT explosives were piled from the innermost part of the tunnel. Because the tunnel was relatively narrow, they could only be piled along the tunnel to form a long explosive lane. Dong Limao made a preliminary estimate. From the time he climbed in until now , about fifty or sixty meters away, that is to say, the distance between the explosives in front of the opponent is longer than the distance he climbed in. He can only detonate it here. There should be a fuse for ignition. Dong Limao thought, holding the explosives with both hands. Groping on the box.
Finally, he touched the spare fuse that Hu Chun had mentioned. It was quite long. Dong Limao took out the lighter from his pocket and lit it. He saw the explosive boxes stacked in front and the long fuse in his hand.
It seems that the backup fuse set by Hu Chun stretches all the way in, which means that after igniting the negative line of the explosive, people can still have enough time to crawl to the tunnel entrance and escape from this death tunnel.
Dong Limao was overjoyed and lit the fuse. He watched the fuse make a squeaking sound and the fiery blue light kept rushing in. He turned around and began to climb quickly to the entrance of the tunnel. He was still thinking: Why did my great-grandfather not escape back then? Going out?
As soon as I had this thought in my mind, I heard the Japanese soldiers talking from the entrance of the tunnel.Now Dong Limao understood that my great-grandfather did have a chance to escape, but he was blocked in the tunnel by the Japanese soldiers who came down from the mountain.
Dong Limao gave a bitter smile and stopped crawling forward. Instead of being shot to death or bayoneted by the Japanese, it would be better to wait for the explosives to explode and be buried deep here with the little Japs in the bunker on the mountain. Thinking of this, Dong Limao raised his head Buried deeply and waiting quietly, he felt that time passed very slowly, so slowly that he could hardly breathe.
"Boy, we've come to the end!" The voice in the body suddenly sounded: "Yes, that's it"
"Grandpa" Dong Limao shouted and heard a loud noise.
