The heavily armed brethren hid silently in the craters, and through the dim smoke of gunfire, they could see the flames of the explosion rising ahead.

The battlefield ahead has become a dark red purgatory, and from time to time something is blown up, thrown high and falling.

The shrill whistling of death-laden shells struck and landed near the brethren from time to time, sending rotting corpses and charred mud flying everywhere.

The roar of the explosion made the brothers' ears ring, and the choking smell of gunpowder smoke and the vomiting stench in the air made the brothers grow their mouths to breathe, like fish out of water, as if they were about to suffocate.

The heavy atmosphere of the battlefield made each of the brethren tense and clutched the only weapon that made them feel safe, and the shells that carried the breath of death had shattered all the rhetoric they had made when they joined the army.

As the veteran said, in such a cruel battlefield, any rhetoric is, if you want to kill devils, you must first live,

Every time the shell hits the ground and explodes, the ground trembles, and the recruits' bodies tremble and tremble, while the veterans who have been added to the various companies are indifferent.

Captain Company Commander Su Er knocked on a recruit brother who was lying on the ground and seemed to be about to burrow into the floating soil, and laughed: "This is not a war yet, I'm afraid of a ball, don't embarrass Lao Tzu." ”

The brother who was curled up in a ball raised his head and saw the laughing captain company commander Su Er, he tried to keep himself manly in front of the company commander, but there was a rumbling explosion not far away, and he was so frightened that he held his head and drilled into the floating earth.

"It's really fucking useless—" Su Er laughed and scolded when he saw the recruit burrow into the floating soil like a frightened rabbit

Su Er, a veteran company commander who has experienced a hundred battles, is naturally not afraid of the devil's shells, and for them who stay outside the battlefield, although the devil's cannon is loud, it is frightening.

But the recruits and brothers are different, every time the cannon sounds, it feels like the Hades who are urging him to come to him, and he trembles with fright, for fear that he will fall and blow himself to pieces.

"You have to learn more from them, be Lao Tzu's soldiers, you can't be afraid of death." Su Er smiled and dragged the frightened brother out of the floating dirt, pointing to the rest of the recruits in the company.

But when Su Er's eyes swept over the rest of the recruits, he saw that they didn't drill into the floating soil, but their bodies were tense and stiff, and many of them had wet crotches.

Seeing these recruit brothers who had not yet been on the battlefield and were scared like this, Su Er wanted to scold them for being useless, but then he thought that when he was brought out by Yang Ling in Suzhou, he was also this virtue, and his words became self-deprecation.

"Don't be afraid, the devil's cannon will also move to scare people, and when Lao Tzu first became a soldier, he was also scared that Lao Tzu's legs trembled."

As soon as Su Er opened his mouth, the brothers all focused their attention and looked at Su Er.

"Company, company commander, were you really scared and shivering?" Hearing Su Er say this, the recruit brothers didn't believe it, and Su Er, who was calm and powerful in their hearts, would tremble.

"It's not just shivering, I couldn't help but pee my pants at that time, and I was scolded by the group." Su Er unabashedly ridiculed his own past.

"Haha......" Some brothers couldn't help laughing when they saw Su Er's puffed up, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Su Er saw that the brothers were not so nervous and continued: "I later learned that the devil's cannon was the blind man lighting the lamp, and after a random fight, the angry Lao Tzu cut off the heads of two devils on the battlefield to be considered angry. ”

Su Er's self-ridicule made those scared brothers suddenly feel less ashamed, fear is human nature, and secretly swore in his heart that the little devil actually scared himself, and this field must be recovered.

"When the devils hit the cannon on the battlefield, don't run around, you must listen to the orders of the commander, if anyone hits by mistake and is bombed and can't pass on the ancestry, then don't blame Lao Tzu." Su Er watched as the brothers continued to joke.

The recruit brothers let out another laugh, and in a few words, Su Er made the recruit brothers no longer so nervous, and some even dared to poke out half of their heads to observe the battlefield in front of them.

Regiment commander Yang Ling naturally knew that the recruits were not well trained, and something would definitely happen to them in such a hurry, so each squad and platoon had at least a few veterans take them with them and teach them how to fight.

The recruits previously scoffed at these veterans who trained them harshly during training, and even fought with the veterans, but now on this battlefield where they can't distinguish between the east and the west, the veterans have become their backbone.

The veterans also came from the recruits, and accepted Yang Ling's orders to teach the recruits to fight, and they also carried out the orders.

The veterans of each squad and platoon have different personalities, but in the face of the nervous recruits, they are all using their own ways to make the recruits as relaxed as possible.

Yang Ling's brothers in their regiment had already driven to a place only two miles away from the battlefield and hidden, and they were still fighting in front, and they were not clear about the situation on the battlefield, so they rushed up to reinforce rashly, and it was very likely that they would be accidentally injured by friendly soldiers or hit into the arms of devils.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Yang Ling did not act rashly, but sent a liaison officer to the front to contact, while he and the regimental personnel were hidden behind a charred wall and waited.

Yang Ling is responsible for the defense of a regiment of the 66th Army to guard the position, in the flank of the entire Mahuiling defense line, although they have received some information on the way here, it is not accurate, and the specific situation of this regiment is not known at present.

But Yang Ling and the others didn't wait long, and the regiment guarding the position of the 66th Army sent a disgraced deputy regiment commander back with the liaison officer.

"You have come up at last, and if you don't come up, my brother will be gone."

When the lieutenant colonel saw Yang Ling and them, he held Yang Ling's hand like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, and he was as excited as a child.

After the two sides introduced each other, they learned that Yang Ling was from the 74th Army, and the deputy head of the criminal regiment also said unabashedly: "Commander Yang, your name has long been like thunder, we will hand over the position to you, we can finally retreat with peace of mind, if it is handed over to its troops, I am still worried that they will not be able to hold it,"

"Deputy Commander of the Criminal Regiment, you can introduce the situation to me first, and we can take over the position as soon as possible."

Yang Ling saw that the deputy head of the regiment was all hung up, and he thought that it would not be easy for them, so he did not continue to greet them, and directly turned to the topic.

"Oh, good, good." The deputy head of the regiment was also happy to see Yang Ling so neat, and hurriedly took out a crumpled piece of paper from his open pocket and spread it out.

"This is a simple map near our position, there are five main positions defended by our regiment, and here ......" The deputy head of the criminal regiment also came prepared, and gave Yang Ling the key points of each defense clearly marked, so that Yang Ling and them saved a lot of trouble.
