Chapter 570: Round Battle (2)
The battlefield had been blown up as soft and charred as rotten tofu, and the shocking craters were densely packed and messy, and the bottom of the crater was a puddle of dark red liquid.
The stakes holding the barbed wire fence were charred black, many of them were hot and smoking, and the barbed wire was blown into sections that were twisted and twisted, and the broken bodies and blown guns leaned crookedly against them.
The two sides fought repeatedly on the battlefield, and fierce battles had taken place in every position on the dog-toothed battlefield, and the corpses that had fallen in various positions were cold and stiff.
But there were only the mutilated corpses of the devils on the ground, and most of the bodies of the Chinese officers and soldiers who were killed were taken away by the retreating companions.
Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander, personally led a company of troops to cautiously step over the stenching corpses of devils on the ground, and advanced towards a defender's position, ready to take over the defense.
Yang Ling learned from the 66th Army guarding the position that the devils on the opposite side of his position did not have many troops, so he boldly prepared to let the various battalions in the regiment take turns to fight the devils in order to achieve the purpose of actual combat training.
Their regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle of Minshan, and although the more than 2,000 recruits who were replenished had undergone nearly a week of emergency training before the war, there was still a big gap between the two sides in the face of the well-trained devil combat units.
Directly replenish these recruits with almost no actual combat experience into the army and go to the battlefield to fight the devils, but there is no difference between this and being cannon fodder, and there will definitely be heavy casualties.
However, the elite of the Chinese army had already been exhausted in the previous tragic battles, and the strength of each unit was overstretched, so it was helpless to let these supplementary recruits recruited from the rear directly enter the battle.
In order to gain time for the transfer of the people in the rear and the retraining and requisition of new recruits, the front-line troops are fighting bloody battles with the devils every day.
"Wow-wow-"
Some of the recruit brothers accidentally stepped on a highly decomposed devil corpse, and a large number of snow-white wriggling maggots were exposed from the tattered military uniform.
Qin Shou, the deputy battalion commander in the lead, looked back at the brothers who stopped and looked pale with pale faces, and then looked at the highly decomposed devil body, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Keep going." ”
The footsteps of each brethren were extremely heavy, and the terrible conditions of the battlefield were unobstructed, and they walked through the enduring smoke of gunpowder, waded through muddy puddles, and crossed the bombed debris that blocked the road......
From time to time, the sound of gunfire came from the hazy smoke ahead, and the gunfire was like lightning in the dark, dazzling, and each dull gunfire made the corners of the brothers' mouths twitch.
The battlefield was covered in thick smoke, and the sound of gunfire rang out from time to time, and if it weren't for the veterans leading the way, the bewildered recruits wouldn't even be able to tell the direction on the battlefield full of craters, corpses and barbed wire.
"Chief Qin, our position is over there."
A liaison soldier covered in black charcoal was hidden behind a half-piece of wood, pointing to an eerily quiet position ahead.
Qin Shou's gaze followed the direction of the 66th Army liaison soldier's finger, there were sandbags and trenches in the haze, there were no gunshots, and there was no sign of human activity, he frowned and asked, "It won't be that the devil has already captured it, right?" ”
If they are occupied by the devils, they are so reckless in the past, and it is not a matter of a few dead people who will crash into the arms of the devils when the time comes, maybe their company may be reimbursed before they fight.
The liaison officer of the 66th Army said uncertainly: "There is still a platoon of brothers guarding me when I leave, so it shouldn't ......be so fast."
Qin Shou glanced at the position over there a few more times, then turned his head and waved his hand at Su Er, the company commander who was half-crouching behind him and raising his gun to guard: "Send two brothers to touch it and take a look." ”
The captain and company commander were already familiar with doing this kind of thing, so he immediately nodded knowingly, and gestured to the two veteran brothers who were on guard with guns beside him, and they touched the cats on the left and the right and touched them silently.
The rest of the brothers in the company were all lying on their stomachs or half-crouching, armed with guns, and ready to cover the withdrawal of the two veterans in case of a situation.
Soon the veteran who had gone out to reconnoiter made a safe gesture in the distance, and Qin Shou waved his hand, and the brothers got up and continued to walk forward with their guns.
The trenches have been destroyed by the artillery fire of the devils and turned into one by one, Qin Shou and the others searched forward along the cat's waist of the traffic trench to search for the surviving brothers, and as far as the eye could see, there were stacks of corpses everywhere, and the trenches were bloodstained and red.
"They all lowered their bodies, and they were targeted by the devil's sharpshooters." The veterans of each squad and platoon looked at the recruits and brethren, and the voices of reminders came and went.
When these recruits and brothers went to the battlefield for the first time, some of them were scared and their faces tightened, and some of them were scared and had some excitement at the same time, and they could finally fight the little devils face to face.
Under the reminder of the veterans, the recruits bent lower their waists like veterans, and from time to time bullets flew from a distance.
The pop hit the top edge of the trench wall, and the dirt splashed, making the recruits realize that this was the battlefield of life and death, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
Qin Shou and the others rummaged through the entire position before they found more than 20 living people, who were lying on their stomachs in the craters covered in blood, and from time to time they shot at the devils who appeared on the opposite side.
"I thought the army was withdrawn and we were abandoned."
Seeing Qin Shou and them coming up, a brother who was guarding a shooting position alone collapsed in the shooting position as if he had been drained of strength, but Qin Shou saw that his face full of gunpowder smoke and dirt showed a smile for the rest of his life.
Qin Shou stepped forward to help the brother up, unscrewed the kettle and gave him water, he had also guarded the position alone.
He knew that the brothers around him were sacrificed one by one, and he was tormented by not getting any news of friendly forces, so he sincerely admired this brother, and he was the only one left by him who still insisted on fighting, and his enemies were not only devils, but also endless loneliness.
"Leave the position to us, you can rest assured to retreat."
Qin Shou made his voice as soft as possible, waved his hand behind him, and the two brothers came over with a stretcher, and lifted the weak brother on the stretcher.
Yang Ling's battalion took over the 66th Army, a regiment that held its position for several days and nights, and under the whispered orders of the veterans of each squad and platoon, the recruits and brothers put their rifles on the trenches in their respective firing positions in a lying position.
The recruits are nervous and excited, nervous that this is a cruel battlefield, and they may die at any time, and they are excited that they can finally use their own abilities to kill devils and defend their families and the country with practical actions.
"Lie down, you'll be knocked off the head by the devil."
"Keep the muzzle down, don't be nervous."
"Unscrew the bottom cover of the grenade and put it in a convenient place."
"Changing positions, didn't you see that the shooting boundary in front of you was blocked?"
......
The veterans of each squad and platoon ran back and forth in the trenches, correcting the movements of each recruit, and the recruits were on the battlefield for the first time, and there were too many things they did not understand, and many things were fatal.
Fortunately, there are not many devils in front of them, so they can calmly teach these recruits how to fight, if they fight with the devils as soon as they come up, I am afraid that these recruits will all have to be reimbursed.
The veterans have become the backbone of the recruits, and they are already sweating profusely after running back and forth in the trenches, and the recruits are finally decent.
