At the foot of Yueyang Mountain, more than a hundred black-gray shadows quietly explored towards the mountain under the cover of grass.

This was the vanguard of the 5th Division's tentative attack, an ordinary infantry company.

"Company commander, just our second company? Less, right? A corporal touched the company commander's side and asked.

No matter how you look at it, the second company is like an outcast, an outcast used to find out the enemy's movements, which makes him extremely angry, and even wants to leave the battlefield with his commander. "Why don't we go ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, being a soldier, taking obedience to orders as his duty, do you think you can live by running to the Qing army?! And this time it's a tentative attack, and I didn't let you fight in the first place! If you can't beat it, just retreat. The second company commander scolded angrily, speaking of which, these non-commissioned officers are basically farmers who can't help it, and now they have been paid for a few months and a year, and they are thinking about how to find a better future for themselves.

But they are uneducated, and they don't know what a good future is...... He was a little stunned when he thought about it, for a low-level but more middle-level commander like them, the people from the Propaganda Department, but they specifically told them about the benefits of working with the commander-in-chief...... As long as you can survive, the future is incomparable to all previous livelihoods.

"Wait for a fight to start, take a good look at Liuwa, he is the only seedling in the family, and he shouldn't have been recruited at that time."

was patted on the shoulder by the corporal, he came to his senses and explained a situation that everyone in the company knew, although it was stipulated that the only son in the family was not within the scope of conscription, but at that time, the sixth baby knelt on the ground and begged him, and there was no way.

"It's not for the sake of eating, their family has suffered a disaster, and the new junior staff is not as good as the old staff to talk to, and there is no military salary ......for him."

Speaking of which, the corporal also has some sorrow, before he became a soldier, compared to Liuwa, he is not much better, the people in the Propaganda Department are right, food, clothing, use, and military salaries are all given by the commander...... Now I want to betray ...... He didn't wait long for him to be stunned, but on the road in the distance, several figures appeared. "Azimuth 130, 200 meters or so, two."

"Do you want to do it?" His grip on the gun tightened, although there had been a battle with the Forces nouvelles last time, his troops were not in the first line...... In the entire company, only the company commander was a group of people before......

"Wait a minute...... Second platoon, touch their flanks, don't be discovered. The second company commander stared at the two small black dots in the distance and whispered at the same time.

From the last battle of Xiangxi, he understood that it was very unwise to fight the enemy head-on...... At that time, he was only a squad leader, and if it weren't for him and the soldiers in the next squad, I'm afraid, he wouldn't be alive now.

"One, two...... Twenty-four, two classes...... Still don't see their big troops, company commander? ”

Followed by two small black dots, a large number of black dots appeared, and the deputy company commander on the side counted them carefully, and was surprised to find that the other party's establishment did not seem to be much different from his own. In any case, this will not achieve the tactical goal, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to do after I go back.

"Someone again." The other party did not disappoint the deputy company commander, and then another squad appeared, and the whole team reached three squads...... This made the second company commander immediately decide to attack, and if there were more people, it would inevitably affect the speed of the battle, and if he was dragged by the opponent's large force after that, he really couldn't leave.

"Damn, you melon baby, with a grenade to make hair? It's not a real fight! ”

Turning his head, the commander of the second company felt a nameless anger, and the corporal at the beginning took out two grenades from his ammunition bag that made his heart tremble, this is not to fight a positional war, this thing is not very useful, not to mention, it is extremely easy to reveal his own position.

"Bury it in front of it and bury that kind of wire mine."

"Okay, give me the machine guns, take aim." After waiting for about three minutes, and the two grenades had been turned into traps, the commander of the second company beckoned everyone to make final preparations for battle.

"WOC, there are more people...... Fifty, a reinforced platoon of troops. ”

"Okay, it's more or less fighting, preparation, and all the machine gun crews are on time for Lao Tzu...... Fire! ”

At the same time as he lowered his voice and said the word "fire", the commander of the second company aimed at a small group of enemies who should be non-commissioned officers and began to fire in a long burst, and when his gunfire was heard, all the soldiers in the front line also began to fire freely.

Bang Bang

The Japanese soldiers, who did not react for a while, fell a dozen people in a few seconds, and the rest quickly hid behind nearby rocks, and in the process, several more people fell, but the good fortune of the second company also ended here.

The Japanese began to fight back, and the second company commander kept falling to the ground with people around him.

“mmp。” The commander of the second company couldn't help but scold, he shouldn't have followed this kind of enemy to fight in the open field, and the exchange ratio was actually 1.5 to 1! Even when the Battle of Xiangxi was the most ugly, they never exchanged a disadvantage!

As he fought, the light machine gun in his hand suddenly ceased firing, and no matter how hard he tried to pull the trigger, it was to no avail, and then he found that his right arm suddenly became limp, and then he felt a sensation of impact that he had never experienced before, accompanied by a pain that was not so severe - he was shot in his right arm!

The opponent's shooting was beyond imagination, and before he even had time to finish the second magazine, the opponent's bullets had already hit, and if it was his soldier, without knowing in advance, it would take several times longer to accurately find the point of machine gun fire among so many points of fire.

"The sub-shooter will change places and continue to fight, damn it...... Call me the three platoon leaders. ”

After giving the order, he laboriously pulled out the pistol in the holster on the right with his left hand, but found that the range of the pistol was completely out of reach of the Japanese soldiers in the distance, and turned his head, and the deputy company commander also had a bitter face.

"The third platoon leader didn't move, and a hole was cut in his head."

His eyes widened when he heard the news...... When fighting with the new army, the lives of comrades-in-arms are not so fragile.

"......" While he was stunned, a long line crawled over with difficulty.

"Company commander, a platoon suffered more than a third of casualties." The platoon leader's face was also full of bitterness, and his three shifts were no longer considered a class.

"Damn, there's only twenty of them, kill them!" The commander of the second company turned his head to look in the direction of the enemy, only to find that the previous deputy shooter was also dead......

"Isn't the mortar okay yet!" Now the only ones who can rely on are the two artillery squads of their company.

Bang – Bang ——......

The second company commander was roaring, and the sound of opening a beer bottle came to his ears four times...... He felt as excited as if he had drunk wine, he had never felt that the sound of mortars was so wonderful before.

After several shocking explosions could be felt even from more than 100 meters away, the Japanese shooting finally stopped.

"Confirm the hit, the number of enemies destroyed should be about eight." His lieutenant stood up, holding up his binoculars, and said with some excitement.

The commander of the second company also smiled, if their company was defeated by a reinforced platoon today, there would be no company mixed in the army in the future, but then his face changed.

"Don't die! Lie down for Lao Tzu! He yelled at the deputy company commander, but it was too late.

With a clear sound of bullets entering his body, he watched his deputy company commander fall in front of him.

“…… Fuck you, get on the bayonet! As if he was about to explode in his chest, the commander of the second company held his pistol and gave the order in a rage.

He needed to cut these bastards into pieces with a knife so that the anger in his heart could be appeased.

"Company commander, this is just a tentative attack!" The platoon leader dissuaded, and now there were still more than a hundred meters away from the other party, and a direct charge like this would definitely cause huge casualties. And if it is just an exchange of fire, even if it is such an exchange ratio now, in the end, the casualties will definitely be much smaller.

"That's a fucking offense, too!" The anger of the second company commander is obviously no longer controllable by reason.

"Company commander, their reinforcements are coming, there are about three platoons! It's time to withdraw! The platoon commander said eagerly, and in the telescope, a black dot three times the current strength of the Japanese army began to approach in the distance.

"Signal Soldier! Where's that pigeon of yours! The second company commander also finally calmed down, just with his troops, in such an open place, attacking such a number of enemies is tantamount to suicide.

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing the company commander's inquiry, the communications soldier hurriedly climbed to the company commander's side and took off the backpack on his back.

"What are the coordinates of that...... 165，132。 "The commander of the second company took out the map and compared it for a while, wrote two sets of numbers, and tied them to the legs of the carrier pigeon." Walk! ”

"It's all here for Lao Tzu to guard! Dare to run, Lao Tzu collapsed him! Sending off the carrier pigeon, his eyes became even more fierce than before, looking at the enemy in the distance, a tyrannical emotion that he could not imagine before raging in his heart, looking at his comrades who had fallen to the ground, he suddenly remembered something.

"Huiwa, bring the sixth baby back to Lao Tzu, this is an order, and the battalion commander knows it."

……………………

"Artillery mission, coordinates 165, 132, enemy forward forces."

Three kilometers away, on the temporary artillery position of the Fifth Division, the communications corpsman hurriedly handed the commander a piece of letterhead less than half the size of a palm.

"Attention to the artillery, the target enemy forward unit, grenade, No. 5 charge, firing fuse, direction 2590, elevation +3, three rapid shots from the whole position" A standard set up four 105 guns on the position, the artillerymen began to busy. "Ready-to-go!"

A scream, completely different from a mortar, suddenly resounded in the sky.

………………

"Company commander, no, more than half of the casualties in the second platoon have been lost. The second platoon commander has been withdrawn, and must be withdrawn! "The first platoon commander sent his own communications corps to get in touch with the second platoon, and the current situation no longer allows the company commander to continue to mess around.

"The third row and Lao Tzu left cover, and the others... CTM, I ......" When he said this, he found that he had no strength in his whole body, and at the same time felt that his chest was wet, and he looked down to see that there was a bloody hole in his chest.

"Company commander! Medic! Take the company commander down! The platoon commander called out to the medic in despair...... I'm afraid, the second even this time......

Suddenly, there was another scream in the sky.

Boom - Boom -

A shell that was even more uncomfortable than before landed near the Japanese army, but the platoon leader with extremely tight chest felt much better.

"Everyone, take advantage of this shelling and cover the retreat!"
