Chapter 5: This Is War (3)

"How many of us are left?"

The platoon leader's expression was a little gloomy, "There are only 56 people left, and there are more than a dozen seriously injured among them, and I don't know if they can be saved." ”

"A company of 118 people, there are only so many people left? I didn't expect that in the first battle of our resistance against Japan, we would suffer such a big loss! ”

"Company commander, we're okay, after all, our company is only assisting, and the 686th Regiment is the main force of this old man's temple, and their losses are great. I heard that there are only about 20 companies in the third battalion of the 686th regiment, and their company commanders and instructors have all been sacrificed, and now only one deputy platoon commander is temporarily performing the duties of the company commander. ”

115 Division? 686 regiment? Old Man Temple?

Hearing these familiar terms, Lehi realized where he was.

Nine times out of ten it was the Pingxingguan battlefield in 1937.

No wonder, he saw at least thousands of Eighth Route Army.

During the entire period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army attacked and fought at the division level, strictly speaking, this time.

Because of the objective situation such as the number and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, it was decided that it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to fight with the Japanese army in a large corps, otherwise the three divisions of 115, 120, and 129 would have to fight for two or three days after they got to the Songhu battlefield.

Some people say that the Eighth Route Army likes to pick up cheap, Guojun fights with the main force of the Japanese army in front, and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are grabbing territory or something in the back.

Let's not talk about the New Fourth Army, let's talk about the Eighth Route Army.

The base area of the Eighth Route Army was not snatched from the hands of the national army, but from the hands of the Japanese army. Whoever told the Japanese army only knew how to eliminate the national jun, and did not care about the Eighth Route Army at all, and even the defensive forces in the rear were not very arranged, and they could grab the territory from the Japanese army, that was called ability.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army knew how to run and did not dare to fight the Japanese army.

Do you think that the Eighth Route Army wants to fight guerrilla warfare, you let the Eighth Route Army and the Guojun swap, if the Eighth Route Army is the main force of the government army, believe it or not, it is impossible for the Japanese army to occupy half of China.

It's not that Guojun's soldiers are not excellent, but with the same number and the same weapons, Guojun is really not necessarily comparable to the Eighth Route Army.

There are many armies in the country, and most of the soldiers below are also good. However, in terms of military discipline and will to fight, Guojun is indeed inferior to the Eighth Route Army, and there is also a clear gap in military command.

It is estimated that the Sichuan Army, the Gui Army and part of the Central Army will fight well, and most of the others will be hehe. Although there are other good ones, they can't change the impression of the entire faction army.

Let's talk about the Jin Sui Army, as a local warlord whose domestic weapons and equipment are second only to the Central Army at this time, in the later Battle of Taiyuan, it really didn't fight well.

Yan Laoxi is not suitable to be a military commander, but he is suitable to be the premier of the National Government, which is definitely better than Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen.

Although he made Shanxi's economy, industry, transportation, and education impressive, in the end, they all cheapened the Japanese. Let's just say that 90 percent of the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal was left to the Japanese.

Of course, if that is the case, it is impossible for President Jiang to let Yan Laoxi become the executive dean, and Yan Laoxi may not dare to become the executive dean.

Straight to the point.

After the Battle of Pingxingguan, although the Eighth Route Army launched a battle of 100 regiments, it was actually not a big battle, because it was too scattered, and the largest number of regiments was only a regiment when fighting alone, and more battalions and companies were attacking the devil's communication line.

The other larger campaigns were mostly passive counter-sweeps.

"College student, now there is no platoon commander in the second platoon, how about you go and be a platoon commander?"

Just when Lehi was stunned, the company commander suddenly said.

"What?" Lehi didn't come back to his senses, and looked at the two of them blankly.

The company commander's face was not very good-looking, "I said that you should be the commander of the second platoon." ”

"Second row?"

Lehi suddenly remembered that the second platoon was the platoon where the platoon commander was defeated when he first crossed, the second platoon of more than 30 people, and now there are not even ten people, and they are all injured, and the highest position is a squad leader.

"Is it appropriate for me to go?"

"Why are you not suitable? You are an old Red Army, you have participated in the Long March, climbed snow-capped mountains, walked through grasslands, or you are a college student, and you have studied in the second phase of Kang University.

You were indeed not suitable before, but you performed well in this Pingxingguan ambush, and I will explain this to my superiors.

Of course, I just recommend it, and whether it can be done depends on the consideration of the superior head. ”

Lehi couldn't help but be silent, he was also worried in his heart now, listening to this meaning, he seemed to be quite old, but he didn't know anything, it seemed that he had to go and find out.

Although the Eighth Route Army has paid a lot of money this time, it is really the Japanese army that has suffered a loss, if the 115th Division is still staying here, with the character of Itagaki Seishiro, it will definitely have to retaliate back, as long as there is a field infantry wing, the 115th Division will not be able to bear it, so it has to slip away quickly.

Fortunately, the place where Pingxingguan is located is a mountainous area, and it is more convenient to retreat, and when the Japanese army comes, there is only a battlefield full of devastation.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Hai also roughly figured out his situation, but in his previous life, he was almost 30 years old, and it was still easy to get a little young.

When he inquired about his situation, Lehi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This resume is quite good!

Li Hai, a native of Changsha, Hunan, was born in 1919, his family was a scholarly family, was admitted to the Hunan Provincial No. 1 Normal School in 1930, and dropped out of school in March 1934 to join the Central Red Army.

In October 1934, Li Hai, who was only 15 years old, participated in the Long March;

In January 1937, he entered the ninth team of the second phase of Kang University;

In August of the same year, he was assigned to the 115th Division, 344 Brigade, 687th Regiment, 2nd Battalion, 6th Company and 1st Platoon, as the deputy platoon commander.

The commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army were originally very literate, and it stands to reason that with Lehi's education level, even if he was a little older than him, he would not be able to be a deputy platoon commander.

For a reason, he was a deserter during the Long March. It's not that he didn't come back if he escaped, but because he was frightened by the cruelty of the battlefield, he ran away and didn't participate in the battle.

Of course, if he runs away directly, it is estimated that nothing will happen, and the Red Army will not be able to chase you back.

But he came back, and this desertion became a stain on his life.

If it weren't for this reason, he would have been able to take the political work line, and if he had taken the political work line, he might have been an instructor at the battalion and company level by now.

Well, it's a bit of a shame to be a deserter.

However, this time the 687 regiment suffered some heavy losses, the instructor of their 6th company died, four platoon commanders, and only one platoon commander was left alive.

Even if it was transferred from the outside, it was now behind enemy lines, and it couldn't be transferred, so when the company commander's report reached the battalion headquarters, the battalion headquarters reported to the regiment headquarters, and of course it must have agreed in the end.

Of course, at this time, there are only 8 active ones left in the second row, and they still have to recruit people.

Of course, soon those 8 became 11.

In addition to Lehi, an outsider, there were also deputy platoon commanders and a squad leader who were also transferred from other platoons.

At night, seeing the number of people in his platoon, Lehi was a little embarrassed in excitement.

The excitement is that he also has subordinates; The embarrassment is that there are only 11 people in addition.

"Comrades, I don't know anyone yet, so let's introduce myself.

I took the lead, then the deputy platoon commander and three squad leaders.

My name is Li Hai, I am an old Red Army, I participated in the Long March, I am 18 years old this year, and I am from Changsha, Hunan. ”

Deputy platoon commander, "My name is Mao Hong, a native of Suiding, Sichuan, 23 this year. ”

Li Hai looked at Mao Hong, Suiding, Sichuan, that is, Dazhou, he was from Sichuan in his previous life, and he still knew more about this. If he guessed correctly, the other party should be from the Fourth Front Army, but he didn't expect to be transferred to the 115th Division.

"My name is Wang Shiyong, a native of Guizhou."

"My name is Zhang Cheng, a native of Fengtian."

。。。

"My name is Li Daniu, a native of Shanxi."

11 people, the oldest is Zhang Cheng, 29 years old, the second squad leader, from the Northeast Army; The youngest is Li Daniu, 17 years old.

And Li Hai, as the platoon commander, is only a little older than Li Da Niu.

。。。。。。

"Gross... Ahem... Vomit! ”

"Here, drink some water, it was like this at the beginning, you should be from a rich family, you must have not seen such a scene."

After lifting the wounded on the truck and carriage out of the car, Han Bin finally couldn't hold back and ran to the side and vomited.

That bloody scene made him unforgettable for the rest of his life, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood left one, Han Bin assured that he had never seen such a bloody scene in his two lives.

After spitting up, a familiar voice came from the side, and I saw Wang Chengpeng, who was wearing a bloodstained white coat, standing aside and holding a military kettle.

"Is that you?" Han Bin didn't expect it to be Wang Chengpeng, who was hostile to him before, hesitated for a while and took the kettle, and said, "It's indeed the first time I've seen this kind of scene, which makes you laugh, what about those wounded?" ”

"There are only five alive, but it's a pity, even if they survive, they won't be able to go to the battlefield, and the injuries are too serious." Wang Chengpeng shook his head, then looked at Han Bin, "By the way, how did you think of returning to China, you definitely don't have to worry about war in the United States." ”

"This is my motherland, and if the motherland is in trouble, how can I survive abroad?" Han Bin said firmly.

Wang Chengpeng was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Han Bin thoughtfully, "Yes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." I studied medicine, and all I could do was to save as many wounded as I could so that they could survive and return to the battlefield to defend their homeland.

I heard that the Nationalist Government has sent more reinforcements to the Songhu battlefield, and I believe that we will definitely be able to win. ”

Han Bin didn't want to hit the other party, so he nodded, "Definitely, the little devil will definitely lose." ”

Han Bin was a little puzzled as to why the other party's attitude had changed so much, but before he could continue to ask, the other party was called away. The other party is a doctor, there are so many wounded people here, it must be busy.

Outside the hospital, the truck carrying the wounded did not wash the blood on it, and left again in black smoke. According to their meaning, there were too many wounded, and they had to go back and continue to pull.

"Han Bin, why are you here? I'm looking for you! ”

Just when Han Bin was stunned, Liu Yue's voice came from a distance.

"Liu-san, is something wrong?" Han Bin wiped the filth from his mouth.

"There is a wounded man who has just been sent over there who is a little excited, and we don't understand what he said, aren't you from Guangdong? Listen to what he said. ”
