The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 1 Crossing
In October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, Shanxi, west of the important town of Xinkou, north of Dabaishui, Yongxing Village.

The sunshine in northern Shanxi shines through the lingering smoke and moving white clouds, reflecting the blood-stained earth.

The trees on the earth that used to have lush branches and canopies have been destroyed by artillery fire. Only scattered blackened and bare wooden piles are still standing tenaciously, exuding a desolate and vigorous atmosphere. The gunpowder smoke has not completely dissipated, and the surrounding The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder that could not be dissipated for a long time, and mixed in the air was a disgusting smell of blood and corpses.

There are grass-green corpses scattered all around. Some corpses are separated, some are missing limbs, some are broken into flesh, some have brains exploded, and occasionally there are residual limbs hanging on thick blackened tree stumps. Arms were broken, and a dozen twisted and charred corpses were lying staggering near several bomb craters on the flat ground.

Between the endless open land and the barren fields in the distance, there are piles of dead bodies, flesh and blood, stumps, scattered firearms, supplies, dead horses...

On the open ground, there were pools of black and purple blood that had solidified, pools of wet and sticky minced meat mixed with loess, sand and weeds, and lines and lines of tank track marks that were neatly sunk into the ground with no human form visible. , embedded with horrific flesh and various broken weapons and equipment...

The crooked military flag lay across the pile of corpses, and the burned-to-ash fragments of the Blue Sky and White Sun military flag were floating in the breeze like fallen leaves, with little sparks flying up in the air, exploding, and shattering into tiny particles stained with blood mist. The particles turned into dust, merged with the smoke, and became one with the blood and mud.

There were only a few low-altitude doves wailing eerily, and there was only the solemn and miserable feeling of death.

dead silence...

In the pile of corpses, a pair of panicked and curious eyes were looking left and right.

He Wei, once a rookie mercenary, still couldn't accept that he was hit by a car on his way back home from retirement and ended up in a horrific pile of corpses. He also had to accept that he was probably the only one in the pile of corpses. , the fact of every living person.

What's going on?Although He Wei was as calm as possible, his trembling lips and wandering eyes still betrayed his heart.He Wei fell to the ground with his face facing the ground.

A corpse with half of its head and right leg cut off was lying on He Wei's body in close contact with him. The dried brains and blood were stained on the helmet above He Wei's head. The blue sky and white sun badge on the left side of the helmet was covered with a lump. I don't know what kind of human body parts are stuck together.

The body lying on He Wei's body was dotted with remnants of military ration bags and large handfuls of cooked fried rice mixed with minced meat.The grass-green uniform of the National Revolutionary Army was soaked in blood, dried, and stuck tightly to He Wei's skin.

The stench in the air, the soil soaked with blood, and the burning smell blew into his mouth and nose with the breeze. Everything around him was testing and tormenting He Wei. At the same time, strange memories were rushing through him. Breaking into He Wei's brain...

He Wei began to try to feel the environment he was about to face. He slowly raised his head. As soon as he raised his head, He Wei saw a corpse lying flat in front of him. Fortunately, this corpse was bigger than the one on his back. The other one is much better. At least, the body is intact and the head is not blown out.

There was open space all around. Wherever He Wei could see out of the corner of his eye, almost everywhere there were corpses and broken limbs, as well as many good and bad guns. Next to his right hand, there was a bolt-action rifle with a dark gun body decorated with ink. The green gun sling has an ancient atmosphere, but it also has a simple murderous aura.

The wind blew, and another corpse smell flowed from the ground into He Wei's nose, almost making people lose their ability to think rationally.The corpse in front of He Wei had two long-handled grenades stuck in the belt around his waist, and one hanging from the lanyards on each arm. A leaked dark green military kettle and a canvas bullet belt were wrapped around it. Together, held tightly by the corpse's right hand.

There was also a crooked piece of cloth on the right chest of the corpse, which was tilted up and swaying left and right with the breeze. It looked like a badge or something like that.

He Wei then cautiously reached out his hand and took the badge over. Smelling the smell of blood and corpses, He Wei carefully looked at the small badge in his hand. The thing he took was soaked in blood and could not be seen. color, but the shape of the thing and the text on it are still visible.On the left side of this badge is a rectangle with two triangular pieces of cloth and two vertical bars embroidered on it, like military ranks. On the right side and behind the badge are three rows of black characters on a red background, mixed with traditional Chinese characters. Character.

Regiment...seventh, fifth, brigade...eighth...two, division...?
He Wei read silently, but what he read made no sense at all.

What a bird thing! He Wei cursed in his heart. He remembered that a long time ago, it seemed that characters were written with right first, and he immediately re-interpreted it.

This time, at least the human words were read. The first line on the front of the badge read: 28th Brigade, Tenth Division of the Army, and the lower line read: Fourth Company, Second Battalion, Seventh Regiment, Squad Leader, Tian Youliang, Worn in the 26th year of the Republic of China.Behind the badge, there are also words written: Don't be afraid of death, don't be greedy for money, love the country, love the people, people's livelihood number system...

Seeing these words and the inexplicable extra memories in his mind, He Wei gradually understood what happened to him.It was obvious that he had traveled through time, and had traveled to a certain national army. Unfortunately, the current situation was really not good.

The 26th year of the Republic of China, isn’t that [-] AD?It happened to be the period of the Anti-Japanese War.He Wei instantly felt more respect for the corpse in front of him.Putting down his badge, He Wei couldn't wait to lower his head again, raised his body slightly and pulled his badge to look at it. On the left side of the badge was a copper triangle on a blue background, and on the right side was a row of serial number logos.It seems to be the rank of second lieutenant in the national army.

"He Wei, a second lieutenant trainee in the first platoon of the sixth company of the second battalion of the 28th Brigade and the 57th Regiment of the [-]th Army Division."

He Wei thought silently.

Second lieutenant trainee?It seems that he has traveled through time and space to a trainee officer with the same name as himself. Look at the number, [-]th Division?It seems that it is still a central army.

Almost all of the corpses that could be seen around were wearing the same military uniforms as He Wei. Judging from various circumstances, these Chinese soldiers who died tragically were probably martyred and ambushed before the entire system was fully deployed. Or fire coverage.As for the scattered tracks and the flat pieces of human flesh in the open ground, He Wei couldn't think of any other possibility besides being crushed by tank tracks.

……

"Snapped-"

He Wei was still immersed in his thoughts. Suddenly, a crisp sound came to his face along with a gust of wind.

After a crisp sound, He Wei's face was covered with brains, blood, and flesh. A bullet accurately penetrated He Wei's head, grazed He Wei's helmet, and hit the dead man's head on He Wei's back.

At this time, the only remaining head of the corpse was gone. After the bullet passed through Banla's head, it hit the ground diagonally along the twisted trajectory. With the sound of metal collision, it penetrated an ownerless hat on the ground. German M35 helmet.

There's a shooting!
PS: The 1936th Division, originated from the [-]th Brigade of the National Army, is a direct line unit of the Central Army. Historically, it belongs to the second phase of the German Armament Adjustment Division. It was adjusted and refitted in [-].

It belongs to the No. 14 Army. Yes, it is the No. 12 Army under the Huang Wei 14th Corps in history. Many people may only know about it as it was annihilated in Shuangduiji. In fact, this was also a large army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The main force that shines, but its reputation is not outstanding.
