Chapter 41: The Battle of the Slate River (First Update!) )

In the first two days, because there was no sufficient number of fish cages and traps, in addition to hunting, as long as Li Hao had time, he took Wang Bing and Li Feng to the river to fish.

Casting a net requires a lot of arm strength, and it takes a lot of physical effort to cast a net.

So every time he came back from the river, Li Hao's two arms would be so sore that he couldn't even hold a rice bowl.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for two days.

After making twenty fish cages in a row, Li Hao's pressure eased a lot.

The quality of the soldiers' food is crucial to a vicious battle, and the regimental commander, who usually pays little attention to the food of the troops, pays special attention to it this time.

As long as there was no combat mission, he wandered around the positions of the companies and checked the food of the troops.

Li Hao's hard work in the past two days, fishing in vain and night, and laying traps...... He saw it all.

A doll who has just turned 14 years old can take the initiative to take over the task of improving the food for the troops when the troops are very dangerous, and finally rely on their strong perseverance to complete this task that others think is impossible.

The regiment commander, who has always regarded Li Hao as a doll, looked at him squarely for the first time and regarded him as a Red Army soldier.

"Political commissar, the old squad leader is right, this Haozi is indeed a piece of material to be a commander."

"Not to mention anything else, the strong perseverance shown at the age of fourteen can't be reached by many squad leaders in the army!"

"And the tactical movements, marksmanship, and flexible brain that he has practiced by himself are all qualities that an excellent commander should have!"

The political commissar nodded in affirmation: "The old squad leader has always had a very good eye for people!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, several company commanders in the regiment were recommended by the old squad leader, and so far there has not been a single mischief!"

"I heard that the old squad leader will give Haozi a lesson every night, it seems that the old squad leader is planning to use Haozi as his heir!"

The head of the regiment shook his head and replied: "The only problem is that Haozi's age is too young~"

"If he turns fifteen, I'm sure I won't let him stay in the cooking class!"

"And the old squad leader has come to me more than once, saying how good this Haozi is, so that we must give him more opportunities if we have the conditions!"

"This must be given!" The commissar replied.

"We must help the old squad leader, and this Haozi is really good, a good seedling who may become an excellent commander must be cultivated well, and it can't be wasted!"

Li Hao didn't know that he had been targeted by the head of the regiment and the political commissar.

But the old squad leader knew that he knew the regiment leader well.

Li Hao wants the head of the regiment to remember himself, so he must show up in front of the head of the regiment more often and show his good side.

This is also why the old squad leader supported Li Hao two days ago to promise the head of the regiment to take on a task that seemed almost impossible to others to.

He wants to pass this mission to let the head of the regiment see a mature, steady, and different Li Hao.

Only with the approval of the head of the regiment can the head of the regiment take care of Li Hao in the face of his old brother.

When I dragged my tired body back to the cooking class station, lunch had already been prepared.

"The old squad leader, plus the harvest of the fish cage last night, has a total of more than one hundred and twenty catties of fish. Except for the regimental headquarters, we still have more than 20 catties left! Li Hao reported as soon as he saw the old squad leader.

"Hurry up and have lunch, and then come with me to the battlefield to deliver food to the troops, and by the way, bring the rifle and bullets with you!" The busy old squad leader ordered without raising his head.

"Go to war!" Li Hao was nervous and expectant.

Staring at the old squad leader, he asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that I can't go to the battlefield before I am sixteen?" ”

"No matter how much a recruit learns, as long as he has never been on the battlefield or fought, he will never become a veteran...... the old squad leader explained with a frown.

"Not letting you go to the battlefield is to let you remember that you can't be as impulsive as last time in the future, and you will rush forward without consulting anyone!"

"That's too dangerous, no one cooperates with the cover, and if you don't do it, you will lose your life!"

"Follow the troops to listen to the command and participate in the battle, and when you get to the battlefield, you don't rush and don't rush, then it's still no problem!"

Li Hao reacted immediately, and replied excitedly: "I'll go prepare now!" ”

After a few months of training, he has too many training results to test through the battlefield, and he will not let go of this opportunity no matter what.

The enemy's offensive was very fierce, and after a wave of attacking troops was repulsed, a new wave of attacking troops rushed up, and there was a steady stream.

On the ground twenty or thirty meters to more than one hundred meters in front of the position, one or two hundred white dog corpses had fallen scattered.

Before entering the position, the pungent gunpowder smoke mixed with the strong smell of blood rushed to his face, choking Li Hao almost out of breath.

Taking advantage of the enemy's attack, the old squad leader and Li Hao quickly distributed the lunch boxes full of meals to each soldier in the second company, and then stood by and waited for everyone to finish eating.

"Prepare for battle, the enemy is attacking again!"

However, as soon as half of the meal was eaten, the company commander Zhang Yu sounded in the position with an angry order.

The remaining 50 or so soldiers of the second company put aside their half-eaten lunch boxes and held their rifles in their hands. Slowly poke your head out of the trench, then stick the muzzle of your rifle out and get ready for battle.

"Haozi, get ready to fight!" The face of the old squad leader who was squatting next to him also became serious.

"The rifle is mounted on the trench, and the hands are clenched, and only the part above the eyes can be exposed to the trench, looking for a target to shoot!"

"When shooting, be sure to hold your shoulder against the butt of your rifle, and don't let the rifle shake due to recoil!"

"I won't say much about the three points and one line, you should be clear!"

"Also, confirm a few more firing positions around you, after shooting, whether you hit the target or not, immediately squat and hide in the trench, don't hesitate, don't look at the shooting effect, and then move to the side firing position, looking for the next firing target!"

"Last but not least, when shooting, hit the enemy officers first, then the enemy machine gunners, and finally the infantry, so as to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness as much as possible and reduce your own pressure!"

Li Hao listened to the words of the old squad leader.

After taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the excitement and anticipation in his heart, he quietly stared at the white dog who was getting closer and closer in front of the position.

The attacking force had only one company, lined up in a skirmish, and was vigilant and pressed towards the position.

The heavy machine guns that provided fire cover in the back never stopped, bullets flew like rain, and from time to time a soldier was shot and fell in the trench.

"Brothers, rush for me~ Take the position of the Red Army, and reward fifty yuan for each person~" The company commander led the team to wave the box cannon in his hand, shouting while rushing, intending to boost the morale of his subordinates through heavy rewards.

"Machine gun cover, rush up and kill all the Red Army!" With fifty meters from the position, the pace of the enemy's attack increased significantly.

With a gun in hand, he rushed towards the position like a desperate person.

The two light machine guns that accompanied the attack were mounted on the ground and began to fire at the position under the control of the machine gunners.

"Hit!"

When Li Hao's hands clenching his rifle were already in a cold sweat because the enemy was too close, the company commander's order finally reached his ears.
