Demon Beast Forbidden Area
Chapter 25: Stone Fortress
Under the orders of the commander-in-chief, Jiang, and with the support of the Chinese and American air forces, the Chinese troops began to gather at Shipai Fortress to besiege the Japanese army.
Josh and the others exited the forest and saw the scene in front of them. They could not help but feel terrified. The front of the camp was like hell on earth. The flames of war were incessant, and smoke curled up. Under the urging of the officer, soldiers ran forward desperately one after another. Josh and Zheng Xuan were squeezed forward in the crowd. Several companies of people squeezed into a boat. Troops came from all directions. There were several boats crossing the river at the same time, heading for the Stone Plate Fortress.
Josh looked to the other side of the river. The other side was filled with smoke, as if it had fallen into a dead end. The entire river was dyed red with blood, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Corpses were piled up on the banks of the river, showing how intense the battle was. Josh sat on the boat, and it was crowded.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! The people around him were shot one after another, and the bullets almost hit Josh.
Blood gushed out from the wounded, and the deck of the ship was covered in a large amount of blood. The situation was really unbearable to look at. How many people had been shot to death because of this?
Several more enemy planes appeared in the sky and ruthlessly dropped bombs in succession. With a few booming sounds, pillars of water that were dozens of meters tall exploded. The transport ship next door was hit, and the entire ship exploded violently. The people on the ship were blown into pieces. Corpses and blood sprayed everywhere, and the river was filled with incomplete corpses. Josh could not help but tremble in fear.
The ships crossing the river were unable to retaliate against the enemy's attacks. They could only allow the enemy to slaughter them. When some soldiers saw this scene, they were extremely afraid. They simply could not sit down and wait for death. They jumped into the river and fled. The officers and sergeants were furious and raised their guns to shoot at the fleeing soldiers. Helpless soldiers would either die under the enemy's attacks or under the guns of their own officers.
After crossing the river with great difficulty, the soldiers were chased onto the shore one by one. Now, they were truly facing an incomparably terrifying hell on earth. The shore was filled with corpses, and the blood had already dried up, turning into black blood. The extremely unpleasant stench was simply suffocating. Under the urging of the soldiers, they could only keep running forward, desperately rushing forward.
"Charge! Charge forward! We must take back our lost position!"
Josh held Zheng Xuan's hand tightly and rushed forward with the crowd. At this moment, they could not hear anything except the sound of cannons and bullets. Their ears were almost deafened. They were in the midst of a rain of bullets. They saw the people in front of them being shot down one by one, lying in a pool of blood. The merciless artillery continued to bombard them. Many people were blown to pieces. This was not an attack at all. This was suicide. Moreover, he was beaten up until he had no strength to resist.
With a whoosh, the enemy aircraft dropped a bomb from the sky. It was ten meters in front of Josh. Josh saw the danger and immediately pounced on Zheng Xuan. He hugged Zheng Xuan and jumped with all his might. The moment the bomb touched the ground, it caused a strong explosion. Several people were blown away in succession and were blown into pieces. Josh and Zheng Xuan were sent flying by the wind and crashed into the ground.
In order to protect Zheng Xuan, Qiao Xu's back was injured and his clothes were torn. There were many wounds on his body, and blood flowed all over his back.
He pressed down on Zheng Xuan's body, preventing her from getting up. When Zheng Xuan saw that Josh was injured, she was very nervous and wanted to stand up.
"Don't stand up," Josh whispered to Zheng Xuan."We'll lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. We have an important mission. We can't die here.”
When Zheng Xuan saw that Josh was injured because he had saved her, she could not help but feel a pang in her heart. Tears flowed out of her eyes. She was very sad. Originally, he thought that Josh was just a wastrel and did not deserve to be called a hero. He was called the aerial hero of Wright Gulf, but it was just an undeserved reputation. He did not deserve to be called a hero at all. Zheng Xuan was truly touched by his actions. Who would sacrifice their lives to save others and disregard their own safety for themselves? She wiped her hand on Josh's back. The ground was covered in blood, and Zheng Xuan could not help but feel sorry for him.
Zheng Xuan fell into Josh's arms. She suddenly felt a warm current flowing into her body. No matter how dark the battle outside was, in her eyes, there was only Josh's figure. She was trapped in their world. As long as Josh was by her side, she would become fearless, no matter what the situation of the war would be. Regardless of whether there was still a tomorrow? No matter if he died or not, no matter how the enemy attacked, as long as Josh was by his side and hugged him tightly, everything would be fine.
The two of them could not help but ask in their hearts,"Can the two of us live past tomorrow?”
" I don't know…" Perhaps only God could answer this question.
The Chinese troops came from all directions, crossed the river, and launched a fierce sprint against the Japanese army. After a crazy sprint, they finally forced the Japanese army to retreat and regain their position. Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Qiao Xu got up and began to move. He did not know how long he had hugged Zheng Xuan, but Zheng Xuan's warmth was still in his chest. He searched the corpses nearby for guns and bullets.
"What are you doing?" Zheng Xuan asked.”
"I'm looking for guns and bullets. We must have enough weapons to protect ourselves.”
Josh brought Zheng Xuan and crawled to a nearby ditch as cover. The Japanese army continued to attack the fortress fiercely. Bullets flew from above, and the two camps became a tug-of-war. A few Japanese soldiers quickly took cover and rushed in the direction of Josh. Josh's movements were very fast. He shot several times in a row, killing one with each shot. His marksmanship was very accurate.
"Your marksmanship is very accurate." Zheng Xuan praised.”
" In this era, it's not good to have poor marksmanship," Josh said with a smile." If you can't kill your enemies, you won't live past tomorrow."”
Josh had been interested in machinery since he was young. He could use any tool or tool with ease. It was the same for guns. Josh was a famous sharpshooter in the army.
