In the end, the Japanese charge was still defeated, although they were very unwilling, but the battlefield was so realistic...... Victory is victory and defeat is defeat, and it does not change because of human will.
When the Japanese retreated, the soldiers were almost paralyzed in the trenches like a mess of mud.
Zhang Chi also felt the same way, in the battle just now, he almost collapsed all over his body, loaded the magazine over and over again, and then fired it as fast as possible, and then loaded the magazine and fired again...... Once you relax at this moment, it's like a winding spring suddenly relaxes, and there is no more strength left.
"Platoon commander!" After a long time, Xiao Zhejiang said with some joy: "Fortunately, you found the devil who faked his death, otherwise...... We're just afraid that we'll all ...... now."
Xiao Zhejiang has no strength to say the rest of the words.
"Platoon commander, what should we do next?" The little cow couldn't help but ask, "Shall we ...... How long will it take? ...... go on like this."
Zhang Chi only glared at the calf, and the rest of the bull's words were held back, and the bull hurriedly grabbed it and dragged the calf back while laughing.
But Zhang Chi knew that this was normal, and there must be at least one hope for a war, such as when to hold on to when you can retreat, when to fight and when there will be reinforcements, and so on. But now the engineer regiment has nothing, and the only hope is the 200 divisions, and these 200 divisions are not sure if they will come, so they will continue to fight...... There will always be a time when the engineer regiment runs out of ammunition and food.
However, Zhang Chi could not say these words...... If he was just a small soldier, he could have complained a few words, but he was a platoon commander, a platoon commander with dozens of brothers, and if even he was discouraged, then these soldiers under his command would have no confidence to defend it.
So Zhang Chi can only be held hard.
From this point of view, it is really not easy to be a platoon commander.
159 Wang Mazi also knew the situation on the high ground, and as the head of a regiment, he also wanted to replace the company several times...... After all, this person is not iron-clad, and he can't afford the Japanese army to toss in turns like this, but the Japanese army almost doesn't give him time and opportunity to change guards.
"Why hasn't the main force come yet?!" Wang Mazi asked the adjutant anxiously.
The adjutant was a little helpless, Wang Mazi had asked this many times.
"Tuanza!" At this time, a correspondent reported: "The main forces are still engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese near Pingmanna, because the main force has retreated from Pingmanna, and as soon as they turn back, they collide with the pursuing Japanese main force." But Shizuo said that they will arrive before dawn, so we must hold on until tomorrow! ”
"Hmm!" Wang Mazi nodded, and then couldn't help sighing.
Hold on until tomorrow...... They don't have that much ammunition in their hands.
So the 159 Heights got two pieces of news, one good and one bad: the good news was that they only had to hold out until dawn, and the bad news was that there was only one and a half bases of ammunition left, that is, barely enough to withstand the two Japanese charges.
The word "reluctantly" here is actually light...... Because this base is based on the base number when the soldiers were still using old rifles such as Hanyang-made in the past, one base of ammunition is 100 rounds per person. This amount of ammunition could have been used in two battles on an old rifle, but Enfield could have fired thirty rounds per minute...... A base of ammunition is a matter of more than three minutes for it.
"That's the way it is!" At a short meeting of several platoon commanders, the Adversary said, "The upper peak asks us to stay until dawn tomorrow!" ”
"Deputy company commander......" the second platoon commander said: "There is ammunition to guard until dawn, there is nothing to say, this ammunition is almost finished...... What do we want to keep? ”
"Yes, deputy company commander!" The platoon leader chimed in: "If there are no bullets...... Isn't it possible to fight with devils with stones? Even if we are willing to give up this life, we can't stop it! ”
It should be said that what the first platoon commander and the second platoon commander said made sense, and it is very likely that defending without ammunition will be a senseless sacrifice, not to mention that the engineer regiment still has a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in its hands, which will be a big loss if it is captured by the Japanese army.
"His grandmother's!" The devil scolded sullenly: "If you can keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" If this is allowed to pass the devil, do you know what the consequences will be? The devil went straight into Lashio, an important town in the rear of our army, and as soon as Lashio was lost, it was not only a problem for our engineer regiment, but everyone had no way to return to China, you know? ”
There was a dullness in the air, which seemed to mean that the life of the entire expeditionary force was on the engineer regiment.
After a long while, the platoon commander asked, "Deputy company commander, what ...... Can't you get some ammo? ”
"The group has already sent someone to find it!" The devil replied: "But this is the eastern front, which is the responsible defense line of our Chinese." I hope that when the British withdraw, they will have some ammunition that they will not have time to take away...... But not much hope! ”
"Deputy Company Commander!" The second platoon commander asked, "No more...... Let's put on our own rifles......"
"Where are you going to find so many guns at this time?" The devil replied without a good place: "And there are more than 1,000 people in this regiment, can you say that you can change it?" Or is it when you are in a hot fight with the devils? ”
The Adversary is right, even if it is replaced in batches, because it is easy to have a chaotic situation of ammunition during the battle, and even if it is successfully replaced...... Fighters who have become accustomed to Enfield rifles also need a process of adaptation after picking up their old pull-bolt rifles again.
"What do you think?" Then the adversary turned his gaze to Zhang Chi, who had been silent.
In fact, Zhang Chi had been thinking about this problem for a long time, and when he saw the devil asking, he replied: "There is no ammunition here, but our engineer regiment has a lot of explosives!" ”
That's right, the task to be carried out by the engineer regiment is often to blow up bridges and break roads, so naturally you can't bring less explosives.
The adversary replied dissatisfiedly: "But explosives can blow up devils? It's almost the same as the devils who rushed up! ”
"It's actually not difficult to blow up the devil!" Zhang Chi looked at the surrounding trenches and said, "Let's just bury the explosives in this trench, and let's retreat first...... When the devils rush up, we'll ......."
"Oh!" Hearing this, the officer immediately understood.
"This is a good idea!" The platoon commander agreed: "We can save ammunition and kill devils, and then we will have a counter-charge...... Make sure to beat the devil to the ground. ”
"Yes!" The second platoon commander also nodded and said, "That's it...... The next time the devils charge, they have to worry about whether they rush up or not, and whether they will be bombed if they rush up! ”
What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that his plan, which was mainly to save ammunition, ended up saving the whole company and even the entire engineer regiment.
