Chapter 541: The Queen
The weary and frail brethren had long been accustomed to continuous combat, and it could even be said that they had become numb, and they were mired in war, and directing operations was what the commanders had to do, and all they needed to do was to obey orders.
Then kill every enemy who threatens you on the battlefield, and then survive until the end of the war, but there is a battle for ten days and a half months, and it is not easy to survive.
Fortunately, the 74th Army has been fighting against devils since it was formed, and the rest is also very short, and this kind of high-intensity combat has made every soldier who has been replenished have adapted to such a rhythm.
The entire 301st Regiment headquarters was also integrated into the combat unit, and even then, the entire regiment was barely able to make up three companies.
While the brothers of the 153rd Brigade were still fighting with the devils outside the city, Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling took the opportunity to reorganize the troops.
They have long been familiar with this kind of thing, and it is very helpless for the troops to be defeated, broken and regrouped, and broken and regrouped.
The devils are well-trained and strong, and their troops are inferior in training and equipment, so they can only rely on their blood to fight with the devils in every battlefield, killing and wounding.
This state of affairs cannot be changed by any one person, the only thing they have to do is to fight, fight to the death, to make up for the huge gap in the national strength of the two sides.
The brothers had already set their minds to die from the moment they set foot on the battlefield, and none of them, these officers, had ever thought of being promoted to become wealthy, this was to resist the invasion, and their only dream was to win the battle and drive the little devils out of China.
"The company platoon officers of the third company have sacrificed a lot, and I think the rat can be promoted to acting platoon commander."
The brothers had already begun to deploy along the buildings in Ruichang County, but the large number of casualties among the rank-and-file officers could not be solved by the formation.
They must promote the backbone of veterans to make up for the dilemma of lack of officers, so as to avoid the company's combat effectiveness being weakened due to the lack of officers when encountering devils.
Because of the lack of equipment and firepower, most of the time the troops need brave grassroots officers to lead a charge and counterattack to stabilize the position, and the result is that at the end of each battle, the grassroots officers have suffered a large number of casualties.
"The monk is also very brave in battle, so let's promote the acting company commander."
Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling sat on the ammunition, and in a few words, they temporarily promoted those experienced veterans to grassroots officers.
Although this is a promotion in the line of fire, it is only a matter of time before they are still alive after this battle.
"Then it's decided, you go to announce it in a row, and I'll go to a second and three times." Zhang Handuo put the steel helmet back on his head and stood up.
Three companies and two companies were deployed side by side, and one company was in reserve at the rear.
Although it was a battle of resistance, the brothers did not feel particularly pessimistic and disappointed, after all, they could withdraw after only two hours.
"You are all veterans, why do you put the machine gun so far forward, move it back quickly, don't be blown up dumb before the start of the fight."
Qin Shou, the commander of the special agent company directly under the regiment, has now been temporarily appointed as the commander of the first company, and when he saw that the heavy machine gun was set up in the forefront, he immediately scolded.
"Company commander, there will be no shooting range in the future, and it will be blocked." The veteran also shouted aggrievedly.
Qin Shou said with a straight face: "Then you can't put it here and let the devil bombard, first carry it to the back to hide, and then carry it up when the fight starts." ”
Several machine gunners and ammunition men looked at Qin Shou with a straight face, and they no longer argued, and began to raise the machine gun.
"Is the water back, don't hit a few shuttles and be dumb when the time comes." Looking at the brothers who were carrying machine guns, Qin Shou asked.
"Ergou went to fetch water, he should be back soon, company commander, you can rest assured, you will definitely not be able to make a mistake." One brother replied.
"If you make a mistake, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up." Qin Shou scolded and continued to patrol.
The brothers leaned on the building and began to set up, the gunfire outside the city was already very close, mixed with explosions from time to time, looking up at the drowsy sky, Qin Shou hoped that it would be dark as soon as possible, and it would be convenient to evacuate at that time.
The people and troops in the city had almost withdrawn, and it was a little desolate, and Yang Ling walked to the position of the first company with the guards Huzi.
"Deputy regiment, you're here." Qin Shou saw Yang Ling coming over, and hurriedly handed over a cigarette.
Yang Ling took the cigarette, glanced left and right and asked, "How is it?" Is there any difficulty. ”
"It's not difficult, if you can't withstand it for two hours, then the previous battle will be in vain." Qin Shou was very optimistic, he had come over the corpse mountain and the sea of blood before, and he really didn't take this attack seriously.
Yang Ling lit the cigarette with a match, not as easy as Qin Shou, he advised: "The devil is coming over a division, and there must be a lot of Tucker armored vehicles, so you can't be careless." ”
After Qin Shou heard Yang Ling's reminder, he also put away his contempt, and immediately shouted at the brothers in the distance: "Where do you sleep in a row, go to the front to dig a few anti-tank trenches, I'm afraid the devil has Tucker." ”
Yang Ling saw that the firepower of the entire position was in an orderly manner, so he didn't say anything more, and asked Qin Shou to call a few veterans who were to be promoted over and read out the appointment orally.
These veterans are all veterans of the bloody battle, they are the backbone and role models of the troops, and now they have been appointed as acting squad platoon commanders in the firing line, which has enlivened the atmosphere of the position.
Soon, a large group of bloodied and stabbing brothers rushed along the paddy fields outside the city, and they were friendly troops who had been fighting with the devils on the periphery, and had begun to evacuate.
"Ready, ready to fight!"
Seeing the friendly troops running past one by one in embarrassment, Qin Shou also took a deep breath and shouted, it was time for them to block the attack.
"Deputy of the regiment, you go down first, the fight is about to start, just leave it to us here."
The entire position moved, and Qin Shou saw that Yang Ling hadn't left yet, so he ran over to dissuade him.
"The bullet that wants to kill me hasn't been made yet, you hit you, I'll press you down." Yang Ling had no intention of withdrawing.
Although it was only blocked for two hours, after all, the devil was a division, and it was unknown how strong the intensity of this first wave of attack would be and how many troops would be invested.
The reason why Yang Ling wanted to stay on the battlefield was that on the one hand, he wanted to spy on the offensive strength of the devil to facilitate the timely adjustment of his subordinates, and on the other hand, he also wanted to encourage and cheer up the brothers.
In such a blockade, a commander who stayed in the trenches with them would not be of much help, but the brethren would be much more at ease, and would not worry that the commander would abandon them and think wildly.
Yang Ling has also fought step by step from a small soldier to now, what he is most afraid of is being abandoned by the commander and fighting with the enemy stupidly, he is staying here now, just to let the brothers fight with peace of mind.
