He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

Nujiang River

"Soldiers,"

We have now launched an attack from multiple directions.

In many places, the fighting is at a standstill, but the enemy's desire to destroy us is strong.

Now our several regiments have received orders to cross the river and provide support, aiming to defeat and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

A man's blood should boil with passion.

On my command, cross the river at full speed.

"They marched in batches to Songshushan and Longling."

"Set off"

Soon, the densely packed soldiers boarded wooden boats, bamboo rafts, and rubber boats and quickly rowed towards the battle site.

Even the huge waves crashing against the river's surface due to the raging winds and torrential rain could not stop the soldiers' actions.

……

Sunday, June 4th

"Brothers, give it your all! We're about to take it down!"

"Da da da"

"Commander, these Japanese soldiers are too weak. They were gone before I even put up a fight!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and inspect the fortifications. We're very close to the highest point of Pine Mountain from here. The artillery battalion will be here soon too."

"Take a look and repair any damaged parts, then take turns patrolling. This place is close to the Japanese stronghold, so it's always good to be vigilant!"

"Welcome, soldiers of the artillery battalion. Now let's talk about the mission ahead..."

Before the regimental commander could finish speaking, the voices of soldiers could be heard from outside.

"Commander, we've spotted Japanese soldiers sneaking in to launch a surprise attack!"

"What are you all standing there for? Pass on my order to annihilate them all, leave no one alive!"

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

The Japanese soldiers launched sporadic raids several times throughout the night, leaving the soldiers exhausted.

the next day,

The soldiers, who had not had a proper rest all night, gathered at the foot of the mountain and quietly awaited the order to attack the Japanese stronghold on the hill ahead.

"You should bombard the Japanese fortifications first."

"We'll be charging in a bit!"

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

The deafening roar instantly cleared the soldiers' vision.

Some fortresses were visibly blown away, smoke billowed, and pine forests began to burn continuously.

The suicide squad leader said excitedly:

"Brothers, follow me and charge! Let's take another stronghold today!"

"Go ahead"

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

Soon, the relentless assault team desperately cut through three layers of barbed wire and charged towards the mountaintop.

Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire erupted from all around, and teammates inexplicably coughed up blood and collapsed from being shot.

The captain quickly ordered everyone to spread out, lie down, and find cover.

They looked around, but found nothing.

At that moment, the familiar sound of machine gun fire immediately rang out, forming a dense barrage of fire that was directed at the suicide squad.

A large number of teammates around me were shot one after another and lay motionless on the ground, even those behind cover!

The captain, looking at the machine gun fire spitting out at the ground all around him, shouted angrily:

"Everyone retreat! There's a pillbox here!"

After sacrificing some soldiers, the suicide squad was almost wiped out and retreated to the mountainside.

The team leader rushed back to the command post to report the situation.

After revising the battle plan, they led their replenished troops to attack the hilltop again.

Under the cover of artillery fire,

The soldiers, carrying explosives on their backs, slowly crawled forward.

However, before they could find the bunker, the enemy discovered it first, and another burst of machine gun fire ensued, forcing the soldiers to retreat quickly.

"Damn it! Bombard him repeatedly tomorrow, and send another telegram to the command post requesting air support. I don't believe we can't blow up his bunker!"

"Commander, something bad has happened! The Japanese attacked again, but they were repelled by the patrolling soldiers!"

"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"

the next day,

Planes kept flying overhead, dropping bombs on the mountaintops and slopes.

The artillery also repeatedly bombarded the hilltops and slopes.

The entire mountain trembled continuously, and smoke and fire filled the air.

The regimental commander also equipped the soldiers with flamethrowers and rocket launchers.

Under the cover of artillery fire, some soldiers carried flamethrowers, some rocket launchers, and some explosive charges, as the suicide squad continued their charge.

As they approached the mountainside, the suicide squad, firing at the fortress on the summit, continued their relentless assault, undeterred by the danger.

Meanwhile, the soldiers carrying explosives crawled forward quickly in order to find and destroy the bunker.

"what"

"what"

After making huge sacrifices, several bunkers were finally discovered.

The soldier carrying the explosives quickly got up, lit the explosives, and ran towards the bunker entrance.

"Boom boom boom"

Some soldiers carrying flamethrowers ran up the mountain and shoved their gun barrels into the fortress entrance to fire the flames.

Some fired flames at the fortress entrance.

The screams of the Japanese soldiers echoed continuously from inside the fortress.

Some bunkers were destroyed by a single rocket launcher shot.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately charged towards the hilltop.

Suddenly, shells rained down and exploded around the charging soldiers.

The soldiers, caught off guard, suffered heavy losses from the bombing, and the numerous black craters became evidence of their deaths.

Upon seeing this, the regimental commander anxiously kept checking the surrounding hills with his binoculars.

On the surrounding hills, a few Japanese soldiers were seen firing mortars at the soldiers.

"Damn it, the Japanese soldiers who launched the sneak attack must not have gone back. Instead, they secretly infiltrated the surrounding mountains. Are the exploration teams just sitting around doing nothing?!"

"Order the 3rd Regiment to disperse and annihilate the enemy on the surrounding hills. I want to hang them up as a tribute to the fallen soldiers!"

As soon as the order was given, the soldiers who were preparing for battle at the foot of the mountain immediately split into many small teams and rushed towards the surrounding hilltops.

"Kill them! Avenge our brothers!"

"Damn it, I was planning to charge in and blow up the fortress, but instead I was assigned to deal with a few punks."

……

A group of burly men, armed with Thompson submachine guns, moved swiftly through the woods, trying to dodge bullets fired from the mountainside, and rapidly advanced towards the summit.

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

After a brief exchange, the Japanese soldiers cleverly escaped from the other side, causing the soldiers who rushed up to catch nothing.

The group of burly men were so angry they jumped up and down.

"Leave one squad to defend; the rest go back and await the attack."

Following the platoon leader's instructions, the other two squads went down the mountain.

The stationed soldiers slumped to the ground to rest, while some lit cigarettes and began to chat.

"It's been raining lately, and I heard the Nu River is raging."

Supplies could no longer be transported by water, and airplanes no longer frequently flew in to bomb and drop supplies.

I also heard that some supplies were delivered by support troops crossing the river, and there are rumors that the higher-ups are going to replace him.

"Mind your own business. Just focus on fighting the war."

"But I don't have a wife yet."

"Keep dreaming! Anything can happen in dreams, and that's exactly what I'm like!"

Soldiers returning from the surrounding hills discovered that the current hill had been captured.

The soldiers kept carrying the wounded down the mountain for treatment, and then they were filled with regret, realizing they were still too slow!

Standing atop the mountain, the regimental and battalion commanders looked down at the nearby Pine Tree Mountain.

Immediately, I was filled with admiration. The mountain was covered with dense pine trees, with an altitude of over 2000 meters. It consisted of eight or nine peaks, and the terrain was extremely steep.

Several massive fortresses are visible to the naked eye.

This is truly a difficult task!

……

XNUM X days,

"gather"

"gather"

"Soldiers, after more than a month of fighting..."

We cleared out all the Japanese strongholds around Songshushan.

However, some Japanese soldiers still managed to escape from here to provide support in Longling.

This is the greatest insult to us! Today we will take down Songshushan, the highest point in the city!

Next, they were assigned combat missions, with the first battle being a barrage of artillery fire.

"Boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom"

Sparks flew everywhere on the mountain, black smoke billowed, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and a strong scent of pine!

"Brothers, it's our turn! Charge!"

"Kill them!"

Large numbers of soldiers, carrying submachine guns, charged up the mountain under the cover of artillery fire.

"Platoon leader, I've found a landmine!"

"Platoon leader, there are barbed wire barriers ahead!"

"Make way carefully and mark the area!" the platoon leader shouted.

But before he could finish speaking, a blue-glowing gun barrel suddenly appeared 5 meters away from him.

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

The platoon leader, riddled with over a dozen bullets, collapsed to the ground, muttering before falling:

"Damn it, why do they love building bunkers so much?"

Immediately, the sound of dozens of machine guns firing echoed from the surrounding area.

"what"

"what"

"what"

The soldiers who rushed up the mountain were killed by machine gun fire before they even saw the enemy. They died unjustly!

Some died just one meter from the bunker, while others died on the bunker itself.

Meanwhile, the commander in the camp, who had witnessed everything through his binoculars, slammed his fist on the table in anger. The enemy hadn't even reached their barbed wire before they were all killed!

Moreover, the bunkers here are more concealed and there are more of them!

So they immediately formed a suicide squad.

They continued rushing up the mountain to ascertain the situation.

Behind them, a large number of soldiers, carrying explosives on their backs, crawled up the mountain, just like those who had climbed the hill before.

Our artillery continued to fire fiercely at the enemy's fortress, turning the entire mountain into a ghost mountain, shrouded in black smoke.

"what"

"what"

Shells were fired from the mountain and exploded around the soldiers.

The entire suicide squad that led the charge was killed by machine gun fire; only a few soldiers managed to retreat back from the mountain.

The soldiers crawling forward discovered a bunker that neither rocket launchers nor explosive charges could breach; instead, they were met with machine gun fire from the enemy inside the bunker.

The mountain was now littered with the corpses of the expeditionary force, lying there piece by piece, limbs scattered all over the hillside.

The blood flowed down the slope, staining the sand and soil it passed through red.

"A hidden bunker! They actually built the entire fortress underground!"

The area was covered with sand, gravel, mud, and trees, and there must have been steel plates added as well, otherwise, when the shells exploded, there wouldn't have been only trees and mud flying everywhere!

This is different from the bunker that was partially exposed in front.”

"Damn it, damn it!"

Through binoculars and accounts from retreating soldiers, the situation was finally understood.

However, they had already suffered heavy losses after just a few charges!

"Fire all the shells at the marked location. Contact headquarters for air support. If they don't arrive, keep trying. We must blow up the bunker today!"

Following the order to attack, the soldiers, carrying flamethrowers, rocket launchers, machine guns, bombs, and other weapons, waited in batches at the foot of the mountain.

Dense artillery bombardment continued, with explosions relentlessly landing on the Japanese pillbox.

Multiple planes kept flying overhead, hovering over Pine Mountain and dropping bombs.

"Damn it, bring me my ammunition box and helmet. Today I'm going to join everyone in seeing how this Pine Mountain collapsed."

Watching the pine forest constantly being bombarded, a regimental commander who was observing everything through binoculars angrily put down his binoculars and roared.

“Everyone has it”

"Now that the country is in peril, the enemy is constantly sending troops to Henan, Hunan, Guangxi and other provinces to oppress and massacre the people."

"Our tragedy is that we are fighting the enemy in Yunnan and cannot go to their aid,"

"Therefore, we must finish this war in a short time, and then launch a full-scale offensive to the northeast to give the enemy a crushing defeat and rescue our fellow villagers."

"Now, everyone, follow me and conquer this high ground. Even if we die on the battlefield, we will still be the good men of Great Xia!"

"Kill them!"

"Go ahead"

Under the cover of our artillery fire, countless soldiers launched continuous attacks on the fortress.

The soldiers carrying explosives also carefully searched for bunkers in order to destroy them.

The Japanese machine guns were already waiting for the soldiers.

A hail of bullets lashed out at the soldier.

Shells from the mountain kept exploding around the soldiers.

This intertwined network of fire relentlessly reaped the lives of the soldiers.

Until the very last moment, many soldiers used all their strength to throw bombs at the bunker, launch flames, and fire a final rocket.

The entire mountain was covered with the corpses of soldiers.

Some glared angrily.

Some of the bodies, still clutching their explosive charges after being shot, tried to throw them towards the bunker, but their strength gave way to the explosion.

Some were hit by Japanese artillery shells, leaving only severed limbs.

So many people fell in pools of blood...

As the sounds of charging up the mountain subsided, the gunfire from the mountainside gradually decreased, and some enemies emerged from the fortress to begin finishing off the soldiers on the ground.

At that moment, many short and thin figures rushed out from behind.

The figures ranged in age from ten to nine years old.

Wearing oversized clothes, with a face full of despair,

They picked up the guns and cannons beside the soldiers' corpses and continued their rapid charge towards the Japanese fortress and the Japanese soldiers with fixed bayonets.

After a brief pause, the sounds of gunfire and artillery fire resumed in rapid succession, echoing throughout the entire mountain.

"Da da da"

"Boom boom boom"

Water and fire are merciless, and so are guns and cannons.

At a glance, amidst the countless adult corpses scattered across the hillsides, a few short, thin bodies appeared.

The higher you go, the more short corpses there are, until there's a dense circle of short bodies lying at the entrance of the underground fortress!

Meanwhile, some of the Japanese soldiers who had come out earlier raised their bayonets and cheered loudly.

The bayonets were encased in the bodies of some eight- or nine-year-old children.

Only the blood-stained tip of the bayonet emerging from the child's body could tell.

The children were impaled in mid-air by the enemy's bayonets.

The children's eyes were wide with anger, and blood dripped continuously from their mouths.

The Japanese soldiers below opened their mouths and kept catching the blood until their faces were covered in blood before they put away their bayonets.

Then he slashed the children's necks with a knife and kicked the severed heads away.

Only then did the intense gunfire cease!

They were orphaned during the war and forced to wander from place to place before being adopted by veterans of the expedition.

Because he didn't meet the requirements for military service, he could only do some logistics work in the army, such as delivering messages and washing clothes, which wouldn't have been dangerous.

However, when the country is in crisis, in a dangerous moment,

They resolutely gave up their young lives and fearlessly dedicated all their strength to success and victory!

Children, I am so proud of you!

……

Climbing to the top to look towards my hometown

……

Longing to embark on the road of longing

Soaring over a thousand miles of mountains

……

The wind and sand cannot erase the blood and tears imprinted on history.
