Chapter 480: Brutal War
The night flowed like water, the sound of gunfire mixed with tremors and explosions echoed through the surrounding mountains, and fierce battles fought from day to night, but there was no rest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Commander's Department of the First Corps issued a death order to the 74th Army to drive the devils back from Minshan, if they dare to retreat without authorization, military law will be engaged!
The 74th Army was under the command of General Xue Yue when it was on the battlefield of Lanfeng, and he was convinced of the words of this "tiger boy", so he also exerted all his strength and fought with the little devil in Minshan.
Maruyama Masao's Sixth Brigade is also an elite field army, so he is naturally unwilling to withdraw from the Minshan area in such a gloomy manner, so the two sides repeatedly rushed to fight around the blood-stained mountains.
The battle for the top of the hill near Minshan has become white-hot, and often the death squad of the Chinese army has just desperately captured the hill and has not yet gained a firm foothold, and the devil's artillery fire has been overwhelmingly smashed down, and the death squad has suffered heavy casualties, and the position has been recaptured by the devil again.
But before the devils could repair the fortifications on the hill, the new death squads of the Chinese army attacked again.
The troops of the 74th Army, under the leadership of the officers, often took the initiative to launch white-knuckle battles, so that the little devils who have always been good at fighting stabbing are a little unbearable.
The brother troops fought with the little devils at the front line, and Yang Ling and they were not idle, and after a good night's sleep, they incorporated the additional recruits into the various companies with heavy losses as quickly as possible.
Although the brigade headquarters saw that they had added a group of new recruits this time despite their heavy casualties, it was only a drop in the bucket, and all the companies were not fully staffed, with more than 120 or 30 companies and only 80 or 90 men.
In addition to the dissatisfaction of the various companies, the replenishment of new recruits has greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the combat effectiveness has decreased while there are more people.
On weekdays, if they only need to go through a period of intensive training, although the combat level of these recruits cannot catch up with the veterans, it will not be much worse.
But now Yang Ling and they don't have time to train these recruits at all, so they can only assign them to the company and let the veterans lead the recruits, hoping that they can grow up as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness.
Although these veterans are still immersed in the grief of the death of countless old brothers, they also know that these recruits will also be their comrades in arms for a period of time in the future, and they have to fight side by side.
Improving the strength of the recruits also means that they can be less stressed on the battlefield, so they also go out of their way to teach the recruits some of the most practical combat skills.
"Do you understand that if you take a shot and change places, if you are slow, the bullets of the little devils will come and kill you."
"Don't be afraid when you fight the stab, you have to be more ruthless than the devil, and you have to overwhelm the devil in momentum!"
"Don't be afraid if you are knocked down by a devil, you will scratch your eyes, no, buckle his eyes, and kick his crotch! Devils are not good people, if you want to live, you have to be more ruthless and fierce than them. ”
"Don't throw grenades, it's a life-saving thing, if you are surrounded, don't surrender, the little devil will make you worse than dead, just pull the grenade and blow it up together!"
"When you are fighting, look at the veterans more, what the veterans do, you follow and learn, you can save your life."
……
The veterans took advantage of the break to talk about their own set of bloody fighting experience, and the recruits also listened attentively, as for whether they can remember it on the battlefield, it depends on their ability.
Yang Ling's rest time was still short, and the front-line battle was not going well, so their regiment had to end the rest and recuperation in advance and go into battle.
The order they received was to take over a battalion of the 174th Brigade and capture two nameless hills on the left flank of Minshan, so as to clear the way for the main force to attack the main position of the Minshan devils tomorrow.
"Hurry! Gather! Throw away all the useless things, don't bring them! ”
The troops hurriedly assembled amid the rapid shouts of the officers, and some companies were still taking roll calls, and the assembled companies had already left for the battlefield first, and in the dark night, it was noisy and chaotic.
From time to time, the bullets streaked across the night sky, leaving lines of fire, and the incendiary bombs fired by the devils set fire to many places, and the woods and wild grass were crackling and burning.
Although it was night, half of the sky was lit red by the light bombs and the burning fire, and the ground was as black as a dark river.
With guns on their backs, the brethren silently emerged from the dark forest, and ran over the crater ground toward their intended destination.
From time to time, bombs made a roaring sound and landed not far from the long marching procession, exploding so that smoke and mud flew everywhere, making the recruits who stepped on the battlefield for the first time frightened, for fear that the bombs would fall on their heads.
"I'm afraid of a bird, it's a little devil who scares people, it's far away from us." There were veterans in the team who spoke nonchalantly, and the hearts of the recruits calmed down a little.
The more the team moved forward, the more the heat wave hit the face, as if the air was burning, all kinds of rotten and burnt bloody smell scurried, and some of the recruits were spitting upside down, which attracted some laughter from the veterans, and the depressing atmosphere was not so solemn.
When they first set foot on the battlefield, they couldn't stand the smell of the dead man, their stomachs churned, and they looked at the pale recruits, and the veterans quickly looked gloomy, and suddenly felt that they were old.
"Spread out! Stand by now! "The troops stopped about a mile or two away from the heavy exchange of fire.
The veterans scolded the recruits who were still in place: "What are you doing in a daze, lie down!" Get into the crater! ”
Both recruits and veterans spread out in the darkness like sand, panting and looking at the intertwined lines of fire ahead.
The regiment commanders Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling walked forward with the guards for a while, and handed over to the battalion commander of the 174th Brigade who had been fighting all afternoon, and asked him to withdraw the team and let them take over.
"The devil is so powerful, I organized several death squads and all died on the hillside, you should also be careful." The disgraced battalion commander sighed heavily, and withdrew from the battle with a battalion full of wounded soldiers.
Their battalion did not capture it all afternoon, but suffered heavy losses, which undoubtedly cast a haze on the hearts of Yang Ling, who took over and continued to fight.
The reconnaissance platoon commander came back and reported that the two mountain devils had deployed heavy troops, and there were more than 10 heavy machine guns and light machine guns, and it was probably not easy to take them down
"Hit! Even if it's hard as a stone, Lao Tzu has to break it for him! ”
The head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, was pressed and beaten for a day and a night in the Golden Dragon Terrier, and at this moment he was still holding a fire in his heart.
Yang Ling also understands in his heart that as a soldier, he should take obedience to orders as his duty, even if it is difficult, he has to be hard-headed, if he finds it difficult to fight, he will not fight, if he thinks that the devil is too strong and retreats without authorization, it will not be a mess, if it is like that, this huge country may have fallen long ago.
