Chapter 267: The Return of the Hero
"Veteran, there are tents all around here, how can we tell which tent the little devil's arms are hiding in?" The commander of the fifth company asked the veteran in a low voice. E*.┡
The fifth company commander has few opportunities to lead troops alone, so he lacks experience on the battlefield, not only the fifth company commander lacks experience, but most of the company commanders of the second regiment lack the experience of leading troops alone, which is also Li Weimin's biggest headache.
The veteran lowered his head and thought for a while, he was a squad leader in the army, and his experience was not much more than that of the fifth company commander, otherwise it would be this veteran who would be the company commander.
"Since it is the arms of the little devils, of course the little devils are very tightly guarded, and there must not be much fire around." The veteran whispered that this is all the most basic common sense, and it is not that the commander of the fifth company can't think of it, once a person arrives in a specific environment, he is easy to get nervous, and he is likely to not think of what he should have thought of.
The commander of the fifth company heard the veteran's analysis and felt that it made sense, and then in the next hour they focused on scouting the tent where the little devil was heavily guarded and there was no fire around.
The wing captain of the little devil looked at the map on the table by the light in the tent, they attacked dozens of times for three days in a row, and the opposite position was still firmly controlled by the Chinese, and none of the soldiers under him could rush to the forward position in the past three days, even if they were not firmly footed and were driven down by the squadron, but he saw in the telescope that the distance of the last ten meters would forever become a nightmare for their soldiers, no matter how strong their firepower was, the artillery bombardment in turn, they just couldn't rush through the last ten meters distance.
The map in front of him, which he had seen countless times, was no longer of any use to the little devil's co-captain, the terrain of Flying Fox Ridge was in front of him, and the squadron had been surrounded by him, even if the squadron had wings, it would be difficult to escape, and then even if he already knew the terrain of Flying Fox Ridge, what could he do, and he had proved it with the lives of hundreds of imperial warriors in the past three days.
What the little devil's wing commander needs most now is a good strategy to break through the enemy's position, but the conclusion given by his staff is only to attack, attack, and attack, and as a result, the ammunition is exhausted, the supplies have not yet arrived, and it is even more impossible for them to rush to the opposite position.
Under the lamp, the captain of the little devil rubbed his sore temples vigorously, his boss had given him enough time to take the position of the squadron, but he let his brigade commander disappoint again and again, and now he only hoped to wipe out this squadron before his brigade commander's patience ran out, but he didn't know that he would never have a chance to fight this unit.
Gradually, the little devil co-captain fell asleep in the chair, and in the past three days, he had become accustomed to using the chair as a bed.
"Rush!" The sound of gunfire and shouting was mixed together, and the captain of the little devil immediately woke up, his first reaction was a sneak attack by the enemy, he hurriedly picked up his command knife, rushed out of the military tent, wanted to calm his troops, and then took ......
This was the end of the little devil's Wing's thoughts, he only felt as if his whole body was on fire, every inch of his skin was burning, his eyes couldn't open, his ears were buzzing, he wanted to struggle to get up or call out for help from his soldiers, but he couldn't open his mouth.
At dawn, a captain of the little devil took over everything in the camp, and in the battle last night, although they successfully repelled the Chinese, but because the ammunition was robbed by the Chinese halfway, the Chinese who suddenly appeared caused them a lot of casualties, and the most painful thing for the captain of the little devil was that his fellow countryman was also his superior, and a grenade exploded next to him, although he did not die on the spot, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead the army in the future.
The captain of the little devil has already counted the casualties of last night, and they have lost about four hundred people, half of whom are wounded. The captain of the little devil team judged through the enemy's corpse that there were not many Chinese who came to raid, because he was sure that last night with the wrong to eliminate half of the squadron **, looking at the corpses of the squadron ** that were piled up, there were about sixty bodies, the captain of the little devil shook his head helplessly, all this responsibility does not need him to bear, naturally someone will bear it, and the next thing he needs to meet is his new wing leader.
For the fifth company commander, last night's raid failed, looking at the remaining thirty or so people behind him, and all of them were injured, the fifth company commander sighed constantly. They had their eyes on the tents last night, and they had detected them in advance that they were very compact, and there were many soldiers standing guard around them, and the most important thing was that there were lights in the tents instead of fires, so he decisively thought that it must be the tent where the little devils set off their arms.
When the battle began, a team of 100 men rushed into the tents, and when they got close to the tents, they wanted to detonate the arms with grenades, and then quickly leave the battle while the little devils could not react. But after throwing two rounds of grenades in succession, there was no loud explosion in the tent that they had expected. The commander of the fifth company realized that he might have made a mistake in judgment, but he was not reconciled, and led his troops to rush forward and kill another twenty meters, and after approaching the tent, there was no imaginary ammunition in it at all.
Knowing that today's mission had failed, the commander of the fifth company hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat, but the little devil had already been entangled, and the commander of the fifth company retreated while fighting, and the casualties were not much during the assault, but when he retreated, the whole army was almost wiped out, and only more than 30 people behind him rushed out.
The little devil did not rashly pursue the fifth company commander who escaped, because the little devil was worried that there was an ambush in the dark, and the most important thing was that their wing captain died in the chaos, no one noticed it, and he couldn't organize an effective counterattack at all, so he had to choose passive defense.
The position of the second regiment was only about four miles away from the encirclement of the little devils, and the soldiers on the fierce battle position of the previous night heard it clearly. After sending off these 100 soldiers, Li Weimin sat at the front of the position, he didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong, as their regiment commander, of course he had the right to command them to kill the enemy, but it was very likely that they were sent to death. The position can be held now, and they don't need to take risks, but in the end Li Weimin still did it.
Although the weather was gradually getting warmer, the weather in the north was still cold, and Li Weimin sat in the cold wind, quietly looking at the direction where the soldiers left, not caring at all about the cold wind blowing into his thick clothes.
The gunshot finally rang out, and Li Weimin rushed down from the ground with a bang, and no one hoped more than him that the commander of the fifth company would succeed. The sound of explosions and mixed gunshots, Li Weimin couldn't judge the situation of the battle between the two sides at all, he just watched quietly.
The sound of gunshots and explosions gradually became quieter, Li Weimin did not relax, but kept tugging in his heart, and he began to say to himself: "You must withdraw safely, even if you come out alone." ”
The night was quiet again, and the soldiers who heard the explosion and climbed out of the rock mass to check also returned to the underground fortifications and began to rest, it was not that they didn't care about the situation of going to the enemy camp to sneak attack, they were forced to rest by their own company commanders, because in the hearts of several company commanders, the five company commanders may be exhausted, and only by letting the soldiers rest well, will they be able to have the physical strength to fight with the little devils tomorrow and avenge the fifth company commander.
Although there was a deathly silence in the underground fortifications, you could even hear the figure of water dripping from the cracks in the rocks, and the sound disturbed the soldiers who had fought for a day without sleeping.
"Don't wait, let's go to sleep, tomorrow the little devil won't give us a chance to breathe." Li Weimin knew that the soldiers were not sleeping, and ordered them to rest quickly.
After the commander of the fifth company successfully retreated, he was not intercepted by the little devils, because of the injuries on each body, more than thirty people had to stop and find a place to rest for a while to bandage their wounds, so they went back, of course, they didn't know that the soldiers on the position gave them a death notice.
The buffer zone of the two armies is a gentle slope, of course, the four-mile-wide buffer zone also has raised hills and large rocks on the slopes, and the protruding rocks halfway through the road just served as shelter for the little devils, but tonight gave the five company commanders a good resting place.
An hour after the successful retreat, the commander of the fifth company continued to walk back with his troops.
"Stop! Who? A soldier standing guard watched a handful of black shadows stumble towards their position, and immediately raised his gun in warning.
The commander of the fifth company and the soldiers standing guard exchanged the command they gave when they left.
"Regiment Commander, Fifth Company Commander, they're back!" The soldier standing guard loudly informed the bunker behind him.
Hearing that the fifth company commander was back, the soldiers who had not fallen asleep exploded instantly, and they all hurriedly got up from the ground, and in order to come up, they saw the fifth company commander with more than 30 wounded soldiers into the traffic trench.
"The head of the regiment is here, get out of the way!" Li Weimin's orderly shouted at the congested soldiers in front of him.
Seeing Li Weimin coming over, the soldiers got out of the way, and the fifth company commander hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted Li Weimin.
"Commander, we're back!" The commander of the fifth company raised his arm with difficulty, and his arm was painful by the little devil.
Li Weimin stepped forward and patted Li Weimin's shoulder gently, and said excitedly: "It's good to come back, it's good to be back." ”
"The commander of the first battalion quickly settled the wounded brothers, found them something to eat, and found a conscription to dress their wounds again." Li Weimin looked at the dozen or so wounded brothers behind the commander of the fifth company, and immediately ordered them to go to rest first, as for the results of the battle, only when the soldiers were rested, it was not too late to ask.
The commander of the fifth company entered the underground fortifications surrounded by the soldiers, and a few soldiers did not want to watch a few soldiers with wounded legs continue to suffer, so they simply found stretchers to carry them, and in their eyes, the soldiers who went out to attack the little devils tonight were all heroes.
