Chapter 655: Promotion in the Line of Fire
"In order to prevent the devils from detecting the abnormal movement of our army, during the period before the general attack, the companies and platoons at the front of the three battalions need to maintain the pressure offensive against the devils as always......"
The general attack on the whole front is a large-scale military operation, and the frequent movement of troops and materials makes it easy for the devils to perceive the danger and break through in advance.
Once the devils break through in advance, then the general offensive plan of the Chinese army will be disrupted, and it will fall into a passive state.
Therefore, it is necessary to attract the attention of the devils in small-scale battles at the front, contain the devils, so as to paralyze the devils, and wait until the general attack to catch the devils off guard and maximize the effect of the attack.
"I will lead the brothers to attack again, and seize one or two devil positions as a springboard for a general attack."
Liu Yidao, the commander of the third battalion, has been crawling on the battlefield for more than a week, and his black and shiny tattered military uniform already exudes a sour smell, but he is still in good spirits.
Seeing Liu Yidao's excited appearance, Yang Ling was worried that his attack was too strong, which would cause the devil's vigilance.
So he turned his head and reminded the deputy battalion commander Qin Shou: "Deputy battalion commander Qin, look at Lao Liu more, just keep the pressure on the devils at the forefront, don't rush to the devil's nest with a fever." ”
Liu Yidao fought fiercely, but he didn't have to say it, but sometimes he was a little impulsive, so Yang Ling transferred the more stable Qin Shou to the third battalion as the deputy battalion commander in the hope that they could complement each other's advantages.
"Yes!" Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander, also understood Yang Ling's worries and agreed to come down.
Yang Ling nodded, and then turned his gaze to Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion sitting on the right side.
Lu Xing can also be regarded as the old man of the 301st Regiment, not only brave in battle, but also able to take care of the overall situation, he has always been Yang Ling's right-hand man, and he is the deputy head candidate in Yang Ling's heart.
But this time, I didn't expect the first battalion commander Lu Xing to kill the devil's co-captain Ichikawa Yozo by mistake, and the division commander Wang Yaowu directly promoted him.
"Battalion Commander Lu, I'm here to congratulate you first, the appointment of the division headquarters has come down."
Yang Ling's mood is complicated now, the promotion of the battalion commander under his command would have been a good thing, but he is not happy at all now, because Lu Xing was not promoted to the deputy commander of their regiment, but transferred to the 306th regiment.
The 306th Regiment fought a bloody battle against Zhang Gushan under the leadership of the regiment commander Chang Xiaode, and fought nine times with the little devil in one day, with heavy losses.
In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the 306th Regiment as soon as possible and to participate in this general offensive mission, the division headquarters specially transferred key officers from the remaining brigades and regiments to supplement it.
And Lu Xing, the first battalion commander of Yang Ling's regiment, had previously killed a wing captain of the devil, and he performed well in the position of battalion commander, so he was naturally promoted to be the deputy regiment commander by the firing line.
Hearing Yang Ling's words, the atmosphere in the tent was relaxed, and everyone looked at Lu Xing with envy in their eyes, after all, not everyone has such good luck to kill a devil co-captain.
Lu Xing also sorted out his tattered military uniform, and stood up with his head held high, his face also full of joy.
Although the purpose of being a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, everyone is not a god who does not eat fireworks in the world.
"Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion of the 301st Regiment, fought bravely, and led his troops to kill one captain and two young commanders of the enemy's 145th Wing, and won countless ...... He was specially transferred to the 306th Regiment as the deputy commander - Yu Jishi. ”
Yang Ling spoke clearly, and soon read out the temporary letter of appointment, and looked at Lu Xing with a smile, waiting for him to receive the letter of appointment.
And Lu Xing stood there a little dazed, thinking that he would be promoted to the deputy head of the regiment, but who knew that he was transferred to the 306th regiment, which was beyond his expectations.
Yang Ling naturally understood Lu Xing's feelings, he suddenly moved away from his familiar brother and was transferred to an unfamiliar unit, and it was so sudden that it was understandable that he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Deputy Head Lu?"
Yang Ling looked at Lu Xing standing in place in a daze, and called him with a smile.
Hearing Yang Ling's shout, Lu Xing came back to his senses.
Although it was transferred out of a familiar unit, it was also a transfer within a division, and the situation was not too bad.
He quickly calmed down his mood, stepped forward, stood up and saluted, and took the letter of appointment from Yang Ling's hand.
When the officers in the tent saw Lu Xing receiving the letter of appointment, they were all full of envy, and they applauded vigorously, happy for Lu Xing, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became warm.
Yang Ling was also sincerely happy for Lu Xing, looking at Lu Xing, who was a little depressed, and couldn't help but comfort him.
"Although you have been transferred to the 306th Regiment, after all, it is our regiment that has gone out, if anyone dares to bully you, just say hello, thousands of brothers in our regiment are your strong backing."
"Yes, when we have time after the war in the future, we will come back and drink wine and eat meat together."
"Deputy Head Lu, you have to take care of our brothers in the future."
Most of the officers in the tent had fought side by side with Lu Xing, and they were all in agreement.
When Lu Xing heard Yang Ling's words, a warm current surged in his heart.
"I will not forget the brethren, we are brothers for life."
Lu Xing's eyes flashed, and he thought that he was about to part with this group of familiar brothers, and his face was full of reluctance.
When Lu Xing sat down again with the letter of appointment, Yang Ling slowly spoke.
"Brothers, according to intelligence, the devils in the Wanjialing area now have at least one lieutenant general division commander, two major general brigade commanders, and dozens of Dazuo Zhongzuo, this is a nest of big fish......"
The brothers were immersed in the envy of Deputy Head Lu Xingsheng, when they suddenly heard Yang Ling's words, their hearts suddenly became hot, and their breathing became short.
Lu Xing killed the devil and promoted to deputy commander after a wing captain, if they killed a general, wouldn't they be promoted to three levels in a row?
Yang Ling's words immediately mobilized the enthusiasm of the brothers, and they looked at Yang Ling with burning eyes one by one, they couldn't wait to start attacking with their troops now.
"Junzao said, if anyone captures Matsuura alive this time, he will be promoted to three levels in a row!"
While the brothers were still imagining, Yang Ling directly threw such a bombshell.
As soon as Yang Ling said this, the brothers became even more excited, and the tent suddenly buzzed and the atmosphere was warm.
It's like a piece of cake has been placed on their lips, how can they not be tempted.
Seeing that the emotions of the brothers were mobilized, Yang Ling restrained his smile and changed his words.
"But if anyone lets go of the little devil, I will not spare it!"
Yang Ling's face was serious, and his words were sonorous, which made the happy people also restrain their minds.
Although the devil is a piece of meat now, but it is connected to the bones, and if the teeth are broken, the gains outweigh the losses, so they all become more important.
Yang Ling's rule is to despise the enemy strategically, but to pay absolute attention to tactics, otherwise it is possible to capsize in the gutter.
"Each company dispatched a platoon of death squads to assemble at the regimental headquarters at night."
This time, the First Corps of the Ninth Theater of Operations encircled and annihilated the devils and their tactics were also very clear, that is, they organized thirteen death squads to attack centripetally from different directions, in order to disrupt and defeat the devils who were scattered and defended.
The main force on the periphery formed a large encirclement, gradually shrinking and advancing inward, and finally formed a joint force to wipe out the 106th Division of the devils, and it was necessary not to miss a single person.
Yang Ling's 74th Army was responsible for the formation of two death squads, each of which had a size of about 1,000 people, and their 51st Division also needed to draw brave officers and soldiers to participate.
