1019. Advance by retreat
Now some people will say that they are dead anyway, and they still manage so much of their family, but they are not.
At that time, many people dared to join the army during the war years, when the national army was losing and retreating, not just to respond to the call, but to pay a very practical military salary to support a family.
Even if he died, the pension was a huge amount of money for the destitute family, and even the entire family turned over.
That's why so many people are willing to take risks and come to the army to be soldiers and cannon fodder.
Many people saw the spirit of sacrifice for the country and the people, but in the poor rural areas at that time, most of the peasants did not have this awareness, and more importantly, in order to survive, it was only so.
This is also something that modern people can't understand, and they don't dare to agree, but survival has really reached that point, and you and I will do the same.
Even if the country comes again, when the national army is losing and retreating, and even under the premise that there is no hope of victory, dare to join the army.
……
At present, the seven companies, one platoon, and three squads have withdrawn from the forward positions at the foot of Shiguling Mountain one by one, and have withdrawn along the communication trenches to the supporting positions at the foot of the mountain.
Naturally, the Japanese army did not let go of this excellent opportunity and fought for nearly a day, for the sake of this moment, so the forward troops of the Japanese army immediately occupied the position abandoned by the seventh company.
Under the cover of infantry artillery, the Japanese mortars and heavy machine guns were also deterred, and their positions were moved forward, and even two heavy machine guns were moved to the positions they had just occupied.
At this time, it was close to evening, the spring days were not long, and the sky was already beginning to gray, and the Japanese army wanted to continue to make persistent efforts and continue to attack the mountains.
But seeing that it was getting late and that the ammunition was not yet in place, he pretended to make a strong attack, similar to fire reconnaissance, or a feint before retreating.
The Japanese army was worried that the position they had just occupied would be recaptured by the Chinese army at night, so they first dismounted to strengthen their courage and put on the appearance of continuing the attack at night.
Sangou and they couldn't figure out the true movements of the Japanese army, so they still responded to all changes with the same, waited and watched the changes, and first did a good job in the defense of the foot of the mountain and the mountain position.
After the bombardment of infantry artillery and mortars and the fierce attack of the 92 heavy aircraft, the Japanese army sent a very small number of infantry, probably only a small group of people, to attack tentatively.
The Seventh Company has now retreated to the main position, and there are positions of brother troops in the hills in the shape of small mountains on both sides, so they are naturally not afraid of this devil.
And the devil is very afraid, not so much an attack, but a grinder, because this little force, even the hills on both sides of the Seventh Company's position can't be defeated, and if you dare to go to the recess of the Seventh Company's position, wouldn't it be equivalent to going to death.
The side shots and side shots of the hilly positions on both sides made the devils very scruples, although now the eight and nine companies did not expose the firepower points, but the invisible pressure pressed on the attacking devils.
Anyway, it was a foreign worker, and the devil was grinding and chirping and crawling forward, and the Chinese army ignored it, and occasionally a few cold guns could easily hit the devil, even if it could not be fatal, the screams after the injuries came and went.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, it was not conducive to the attack of the troops, so they had to order to stop the tentative attack of a small group of men.
Sangou can see the tricks of the Japanese army, what kind of feint attack is playing with us, it seems that whether you attack or not at night at night, we will also engage you.
Just thinking about this, Xiucai came to the door and said, "Do you want to make a devil this night and regain the forward position?" Sangou crooked his mouth and asked Xiucai with a smile:
"What are you going to do?"
"It's not the same as before, our company is responsible for the night attack, just ask the Eighth and Ninth Companies to help respond and protect it."
Seeing Xiucai's confident appearance, Sangou estimated that their seventh company had already prepared, so he said, "Okay, I'll talk to Dogleg and Tienon and make an appointment." ”
"Start when the time is still ugly, and prepare when the time comes."
"Well, that's it."
Seeing that Xiucai went back to the Seventh Company without eating, after the three dogs took the last bite of food, he asked the signal corps to call the Eighth and Ninth Company Headquarters, and explained the matter of the night attack by the two company commanders.
At the same time, I also went to find the machine gun company of the bamboo pole, the company headquarters of the machine gun company and the battalion headquarters were very close, and they arrived a few steps away.
Since the night can shoot mortars in Minshan Mountain, Jiujiang, bamboo poles have become a famous figure in the whole division, this time Changsha training, even the 74th Army invited bamboo poles in the officer training class, to explain to everyone the shooting technology of night mortars.
This thing is really brain-burning, Sangou can't understand it after listening to it for a long time, anyway, it's a string of data and skills, and there is a specialization in the art industry.
Now Sangou is looking for bamboo poles because of this, and the advantage of night mortars is not available to the Japanese army, in case the night attack of the Seventh Company is blocked or is counterattacked by the Japanese army, the mortars of the machine gun company can fight hard.
After listening to the task of the three dogs, the bamboo pole took out a notebook, which was full of numerical data of each position, flipped to the latest Shiguling position, determined the value of the forward position at the foot of the mountain, and ordered his subordinates to go over.
……
Lying on the folding marching bed, Sangou couldn't sleep all of a sudden, and now he is the battalion commander (although he is the acting battalion commander, he is still the actual battalion commander).
I don't have to go to the front line all the time, I have a special command center, and I even have a bed to sleep, not just lying on the ground, it's really a little uncomfortable.
I remember that I just escaped from Nanjing, and when I arrived in Jingzhou, I didn't sleep in bed at all every night, and I often slept on the ground in the second half of the night before I fell asleep.
Now it's back to the rear, can you fall asleep in bed, but you can't adapt to it all of a sudden, and it's impossible to drag Yang Muhua to sleep on the ground together.
But when the troops arrived at the front line, they enjoyed the life of a soldier, with a marching bed and a bedding, which was simply too enjoyable, and Sangou couldn't adapt to it.
The orderly soldiers were added to the infantry company on the front line, and the cooking soldiers were used to replace them to do some housework, mainly to move the mattress, originally Sangou wanted to not even want a bed, but Yang Muhua disagreed.
She said, first of all, as the commander of a battalion, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding hundreds of people, and you must ensure the quality of your sleep, otherwise, you will be groggy every day, how to command the war, isn't it to kill your brothers?
The second is that Sangou himself is not a fully recovered patient (there is shrapnel in his head, and when he is nervous on the battlefield, he will cramp a few times from time to time, this Sangou did not tell Yang Muhua), so he can't abuse himself anymore and must ensure his health.
Sangou couldn't talk about his wife and the "personal doctor" in this matter, so he kept the burden of this mattress, and sometimes he wanted to secretly nest in the hole in the ground to sleep, but he would be dragged up by the guard platoon Jiang Zhonghan.
