The enemy position on the opposite side is dark and there is no eye-catching light, even if the night vision ability will improve a lot after being in the dark for a long time, but the night vision ability of the human eye is still very limited. Wei Jianjun, the second company commander beside Jin Fugui, the commander of the first company, widened his eyes and couldn't see clearly the ditches and a small hurdle that the first company commander said.
However, although the vision is limited by the night, the sense of smell and hearing is enhanced by the limited vision. The smell of the moist lake in the air, and the sound of running water in the sound of gunfire, proved that there was a large surface of water and a large flow of water not too far away. The smell of blood mixed with the moisture of the lake and the smoke of the guns made Wei Jianjun feel a tremor feeling running back and forth down his spine, so that what the company commander said didn't go too far into his head.
"Lao Wei, if you understand, I'll lead the troops to withdraw first." After the first company commander Jin Fugui finished speaking, he asked Wei Jianjun.
The first company commander Jin Fugui is also in his twenties, and Wei Jianjun is also in his twenties, both of which are not "old" age. However, there are only those in the army who are too different in age or rank, and most of them are called by position. The rest of the people are basically "old". This is said to be a continuation of the fact that the Thunder Tiger was called "Tiger" back then. But no one looked into it. It's a habit.
"Old Kim, where was the enemy's machine gun position when you were flanked?" Wei Jianjun is most concerned about this issue. In fact, the terrain that Jin Fugui talked about is nothing new, and it is no different from the latest map provided by the headquarters, which has been deeply imprinted in Wei Jianjun's mind. But Jin Fugui's company suffered a lot of casualties, because the Yankees hid the machine gun position very thief. At least in the dark of night, it is impossible to observe exactly where the enemy's machine-gun positions are.
Jin Fugui gritted his teeth and slammed his mouth hard, "If only I could sue you." The Yankees are very thieves and move every time the machine gun position moves. We attacked three times, and on those three occasions we took the Yankee's machine-gun positions. Twice repulsed, the Yankees had different machine-gun positions. I don't think they have that many machine guns, so they must have switched positions in the middle of the attack. ”
"Old Kim, do you think it's okay to use flares?" Wei Jianjun asked.
"Flares?" Jin Fugui was stunned, he knew this thing, but he just knew. Frowning, Jin Fugui said, "This has to be ordered by the group, right?" ”
"Deputy battalion commander, do we have any flares in our battalion?" Wei Jianjun turned his head and asked the deputy battalion commander.
The deputy battalion commander was not very clear, he recalled for a while before saying: "Company Commander Wei, I don't remember that the battalion was allocated this kind of equipment. ”
Since there is no one in the camp, Wei Jianjun can't help it. If he thought of this kind of equipment in the battalion headquarters, Wei Jianjun could also ask the battalion commander to apply for flares from the regiment commander. Now that he was ordered to attack, he turned around and made such a request when he was about to start fighting, making it clear that he was making excuses for not wanting to fight.
"Old Kim, I see." Wei Jianjun said to Jin Fugui.
Jin Fugui grabbed Wei Jianjun's hand, "Old Wei, you have to be careful. But if you have the opportunity to seize the enemy's gap and hit them, then hit them hard. Avenge us for a while! ”
"Rest assured. We're going to beat the enemy to the ground! Wei Jianjun's tone was very firm, "After you go down, talk to the battalion commander, if you can let the regiment support us with flares." In the daytime, we are far superior to the Yankees. It doesn't take too long, even half an hour, and it's enough for us to knock the Yankees down! ”
"Good!" Jin Fugui replied.
When the company withdrew, Wei Jianjun immediately ordered a platoon to send a squad to the left front. The compass of the company commander has luminous markings. The troops were actually attacking in the southeast direction, and Wei Jianjun meant to continue the direction of the attack of the first company and divide the enemy in two first. In the dark, if the second company can separate the enemy, the second company has a chance to use the firepower advantage to crush the enemy in the night battle.
The squad quietly touched over, and before this squad acted, Wei Jianjun couldn't see them in the dark. After this squad acted, Wei Jianjun couldn't see them anymore. This made Wei Jianjun's heart even more unremarkable, but at this time, he had no choice but to wait.
After Jin Fugui withdrew with his troops, he immediately went to the battalion headquarters and told the battalion commander Xu Suhang of his request for flares. Xu Suhang didn't expect this thing at first, but now that someone reminded him, he immediately came to his senses. Indeed, the only thing Americans can rely on is the night. It is indeed quite difficult for the Liberation Army to deal with this group of local snakes in the dark night. If it can tear through the darkness, there is no reason why the Liberation Army can't defeat these Yankees. Picking up the phone, Jin Fugui immediately dialed the phone number of the regiment headquarters.
Hu Xingzhi didn't immediately think of the flare, and he felt that this was the right way for the first time. But after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong. For the attacking side, flares are effective. However, it may not be effective on the defending side, and the light cannot only illuminate the enemy's side, and in such a staggered situation, the flares will illuminate the enemy at the same time as the Guangfu army. Moreover, the encirclement of the Liberation Army is so thin, in case the enemy sees through the reality and invests huge forces at a certain point. There is a chance that the line of defense will be broken.
After briefly explaining his meaning to Xu Suhang, the commander of the third battalion, Hu Xingzhi heard Xu Suhang immediately reply: "Regiment commander, then let the artillery shoot flares to the lake." We are on the offensive at the lake, and they need lighting the most. ”
Hu Xingzhi felt a little embarrassed at that time, the battalion commander was right. Hu Xingzhi does not need to illuminate the entire combat area, only needs to selectively illuminate a small piece. Hu Xingzhi first asked the logistics staff, and then said to the third battalion commander: "Battalion Commander Xu, we haven't received a flare in the regiment yet. I'll send someone to the division headquarters now, and we'll contact you as soon as the flares arrive. ”
After listening to Hu Xingzhi's construction, Xu Suhang immediately put forward his opinion, "Regiment leader, don't contact me." The second company has already been put into attack. When you receive it, you will fire it far from the lake, and if the second company thinks it is not suitable, they will fire three red flares in a row. If the second company felt that it should continue fighting, they would fire three green flares in a row. ”
“…… All right. Hu Xingzhi didn't expect that he was opposed twice in a row by a battalion commander. And these two times made Hu Xingzhi unable to come up with a better proposal. Although he knew that he would of course focus on fighting at this time, Hu Xingzhi was very unhappy in his heart. Most of this unhappiness is naturally aimed at the tricky battle situation, and part of it is the matter of forgetting about the flares. Naturally, there is a small point against Xu Suhang. Xu Suhang is in his thirties, not from a military academy, but a graduate of an infantry school. I went to military school when I was studying. Hu Xingzhi and Xu Suhang can probably win by academic qualifications, but they are at an absolute disadvantage compared to qualifications.
After putting down the phone, Hu Xingzhi called the division commander Ma Xiaoming, and Ma Xiaoming listened to the set of construction using flares, and immediately praised: "Hu Xingzhi, that's a good point." It's me who forgot about it. Send someone to me at once, and I'll have the flares and launchers ready for you at once. ”
Hu Xingzhi was moved and a little surprised in his heart, Ma Xiaoming and Hu Xingzhi only met when they were studying. At that time, among the recognized outstanding elements in that issue, Qi Rui was naturally very conspicuous, and Ma Xiaoming was not inferior. And Hu Xingzhi, who knew that Qi Rui was born, was reluctant to talk much about the deep reasons why Qi Rui was able to become a blockbuster, and he felt that compared with Qi Rui, Ma Xiaoming might have more prestige as a leader. Ma Xiaoming is decisive and accurate. Mistakes are immediately questioned, and what is right is accepted immediately. Compared with Ma Xiaoming, Qi Rui belongs to the type that thinks more. If the chief of staff is selected, Hu Xingzhi will naturally support Qi Rui more. If it is to select the military commander, Hu Xingzhi still prefers Ma Xiaoming.
Ma Xiaoming didn't know what Hu Xingzhi was thinking, and even if he knew, he might not care. After ordering the equipment to be prepared for Hu Xingzhi, Ma Xiaoming dialed the phone to Qi Rui.
Qi Rui listened to Ma Xiaoming's introduction of Hu Xingzhi's application first, and he just hummed. This construction is correct to the point that Qi Rui doesn't want to meddle in this matter at all, and Ma Xiaoming must have done it. Soon, Qi Rui heard Ma Xiaoming's proposal to distribute the flares to all regiments of the army and let them use them according to their own conditions.
"Will the rest of the troops be affected?" Qi Rui immediately asked.
"Now that our encirclement has been completed, I have asked all units of our division to do a good job of covering each other. If there is a threat somewhere, the troops next to it probably know the situation. Besides, this is the responsibility of the regiment. If it is time for the regiment headquarters to make a decision, the situation will probably have reached the point where it is widely implicated. Ma Xiaoming explained his views to Qi Rui.
Qi Rui thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Okay, I will distribute flares to the whole army up to the regimental level." Now hurry up and give an explanation to your regiments. Don't let the troops cooperate in a problem. ”
Just when the troops were making new arrangements for the transmission of information and the adjustment of ideas between companies and corps, Wei Jianjun came to the messenger of the battalion. Knowing the news that he might get flare support, Wei Jianjun didn't take it too seriously. There is no equipment in the regiment, so you have to go to the division to ask for it. Wei Jianjun felt that the time to go back and forth this time was about an hour or two. And the pathfinders have returned. Informed that there was no enemy on the front, the troops advanced until the lake was empty.
Wei Jianjun asked the correspondent to return to the battalion headquarters with the message that "we are going to start moving towards the lake". He picked up his rifle and set off with the company's commanders and fighters. After occupying this open space to the lake, Wei Jianjun took up his position, and then he was able to make his next choice. Although he knew that the enemy would definitely have bad intentions, Wei Jianjun didn't seem to have any other choice but to advance.
Straightening the steel helmet, Wei Jianjun said: "Let's go!" ”
