Chapter 121: Borrowing Soldiers
"Who?"
"I want to see your teacher."
"A big-headed soldier also wants to see the division commander, is the division commander you can see if you want to?"
In the afternoon, Ye Lei came to the defense area of the 14th Division of the 54th Army, and they launched an attack on the Japanese army in Luodian from the right flank. The right flank is the south of Luodian, and the location is very worrying. With a 6-kilometer road line, the Japanese army could directly reinforce Luodian, or attack the 14th Division from the flank (east).
Ye Lei took out the pass and said: "This is the pass personally issued by the commander of the 98th Division, Xia Chuzhong, with a certificate of my identity on it, and your division commander will see me after seeing it." ”
The sentry opened the pass and looked at it, was surprised, and asked, "You are Ye Lei." ”
Ye Lei had a cold face and said, "I am." Hurry up and go to Tongyu, 100,000 urgent! ”
"Wait a minute, I'll report back right away."
The sentry hurriedly turned around and ran towards the division headquarters. Ye Lei didn't want to participate in the battle of Luodian, he just wanted to give these team members a profound ideological education, but when he saw the corpses of thousands of soldiers of the national army, the fighting fire in his heart burned again.
It didn't take long for the sentry to run back and say, "The division commander is please!" ”
In a dilapidated house, division commander Chen Lie and several officers were discussing the deployment of a counterattack on Luodian at night. They all looked anxious and their eyes were bloodshot, as if they hadn't slept for a few days, but the battle in front of them made them even more helpless.
"There is no other way but to use the night to fight hard."
After deliberating for a long time, in the end I only came to a hard conclusion.
"Report, Ye Lei brought."
"Let him in!"
The officers in the room all looked towards the door, and Ye Lei walked in one by one, with the rank of sergeant.
Chen Lie looked at Ye Lei and asked, "Are you really that Ye Lei?" ”
Ye Lei said: "I'm that Ye Lei." ”
Chen Lie said: "The 88th Division is responsible for the middle road, why did you run to the left flank?" Recently, the 88th Division has been very beautiful. ”
Hearing this, Chen Lie had a little complaint in his tone. The 14th Division fought bloody battles for days, with countless casualties, but the limelight in the newspapers was all called the 88th Division to rob, and even the regiment commander and company commander became national heroes, while the left-wing war mentioned all the 51st and 98th Divisions. Wang Yaowu of the 51st Division attacked Luodian and became famous in a battle; The 98th Division fought in Baoshan, and Yao Ziqing was loyal to the soul.
In this way, the other troops have been in a supporting role, but their casualties are greater than any other unit, which seems a bit unfair.
Ye Lei looked at people in detail, how could he not hear the meaning of Chen Lie's words, but he understood the other party's mood very well: the left wing troops were facing the attack of the main force of the Japanese army, and there was no danger to defend in the plain operation, or within the range of the enemy's warship fire, a large caliber shell came down, and half of the company was gone. In such a situation, there is no good record.
Ye Lei did not respond to the other party's words, and directly explained the intention: "Baoshan has been lost, and Yuepu is in danger." The 14th Division was stationed on the right flank of the Japanese army and wanted to attack Luodian. The Baoluo Highway was nearby, and there was a good chance that the Japanese troops in Baoshan would be reinforced and attack the 14th Division from the flank. ”
"What do you want to say? How do I need a company commander to teach how to fight a division commander? Could it be that I would not have thought of such a simple thing? ”
"I didn't mean that. I came all the way from Baoshan, and there is a place that is very suitable for ambushes, and I want to borrow troops to kill the arrogance of devils. ”
"Borrow troops, ambush." Showing a flute, he said: "It's all plains here, and there is not even a hillside, how can you set up an ambush?" ”
"Ambush does not necessarily need to have a geographical advantage, the tactics are used properly, and the grass and trees can be soldiers."
"What a big breath!"
Chen Lie didn't want to borrow troops, he only had half a division left, but he wanted to see if Ye Lei was really powerful, or if he was in vain. In addition, the area around Baoshan was connected by the Japanese army, and if the Japanese reinforcements really attacked from the flank, it would be very troublesome.
After thinking about it, Chen Lie said: "I have soldiers, how much do you want?" ”
Ye Lei said: "The more the merrier." ”
Chen Lie laughed incredibly, the person in front of him was very arrogant. "The more the merrier" really regarded himself as Han Xin, so he said: "Many stragglers have not been planned in time, you can go yourself, if they are willing to go to war with you." ”
Chen Lie gave Ye Lei a problem, just to test his ability. After a few days of bloody fighting, many troops were beaten and left without strength. The general situation is to supplement these skirmishers with other fully formed units, but the counteroffensive is imminent, and these skirmishers have not yet had time to build.
Under Chen Lie's arrangement, Ye Lei was taken to a camp in the rear by the people of the division headquarters guard battalion. There are as many as 300 stragglers here. Their original troops were crippled, and most of the battalion and company commanders were killed, and they all came from different units of the same division, which can be said to be a piece of scattered sand.
Not only that, their morale is very low, after all, they all came down from the front line of Luodian, which is called the "Flesh Mill", and they inevitably have fear, pessimism, and fear in their hearts.
"Assemble, assemble, come and gather."
“……”
The soldiers of the special service battalion rushed one after another, going to all parts of the camp to let these stragglers gather in the open space, and Ye Lei led his team to stand in front of them. There is a world of difference between the military appearance and standing posture of the two teams, and the more than 300 people who are scattered and have faces like ashes are completely compared to these 26 people.
After the assembly, a platoon commander of the special service battalion said to everyone: "This commander is going to take you to ambush the devils, is there anyone who is willing to go?" Completely voluntary! ”
As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar below.
"What kind of officer is he, isn't he just a sergeant!? Lao Tzu just crawled out of the pile of dead people, and he wants to send Lao Tzu to death, not go! ”
"! Let's take a breath when we hang ourselves, we just came down from the front line, we haven't even eaten a hot meal, and now we are told to die, not go! ”
"Don't go! Whoever goes is a grandson! ”
“……”
There are many complaints and scoldings below, and no one is willing to send them to death, but this is all expected by Ye Lei. The battle of Luodian has come to an end, and the previous battles were unimaginably fierce.
Later, Chen Cheng recalled that when the first division went up, half of the fighting was left in three hours, and then another division went up, and in less than five hours, two-thirds of the casualties were lost. Just such a division and a division rushed up, so it was called "flesh mill". The officers and soldiers who died were all the elite of the national army, Lao Chiang's descendants.
The spy platoon commander walked up to Ye Lei and pretended to be helpless: "Chief Ye, no one wants to go with you, and I have nothing to do." ”
Ye Lei ignored the man, and suddenly shouted: "Salute!" ”
With a "huh~", the team members behind Ye Lei saluted like these heroes who came back from the sea of blood, solemn and solemn, to show their respect for these people.
This move surprised everyone, and they were treated with the respect they deserved. At this time, there was a sudden silence below, and no one dared to complain about anything.
"Rite over!"
After Ye Lei put down his hand, he said loudly: "You are all heroes, this is our respect for heroes!" My name is Ye Lei, and I am the deputy commander of the second battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, with the rank of major. ”
The people below were stunned when they heard this. Some people have more or less heard the name Ye Lei, and there is also how the people of the 88th Division came to help the 14th Division fight.
Ye Lei continued: "There is nothing surprising. Not long ago, I assisted the 36th Division in attacking Huishan Wharf and blew up a large amount of military supplies for the devils. Last night, I attacked Hongkou with the people behind me, eliminated more than 100 devils, and blew up a granary, an ammunition depot, and a fuel depot. Later, the devil cut off our back way to retreat, so Rao Lu came here. ”
The people below were all surprised. Ye Lei didn't want to show off himself, but wanted them to have confidence in themselves.
Ye Lei said: "It's nothing, the tactics are used properly, one dozen ten, one dozen hundred is not a problem." I know that you all crawled out of the dead pile, and you all died! Now that Baoshan has been lost, the Japanese army will definitely use the Baoluo kilometer to reinforce Luodian. I shouldn't have asked you to go to the battlefield again, but if the devil reinforcements reinforced Luodian, it would be difficult for Luodian to be defeated, and our previous sacrifices would be wasted. ”
The people below began to fall silent. Ye Lei said the importance of blocking enemy reinforcements.
Ye Lei said with emotion: "Think about the comrades-in-arms and brothers who died before, your squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and battalion commander, the first second was still fine, and the next second was yin and yang, and they shed the last drop of blood into the land they defended!" ”
The people below are no longer as dead as they were just now, with grief and anger in their hearts, and there is blood.
Ye Lei said loudly: "I didn't take you to die, but to avenge the dead people around you!" In order to keep more people alive! For the honor of your 14th Division, for our final victory! ”
The expressions of the people below changed suddenly, their eyes began to shine, and the blood in their hearts was stirred by Ye Lei.
Ye Lei roared with the last passion: "The newspaper says that I am the god of war, and I admit that I am the god of war, because I have never lost a battle!" Follow the god of war, and you will only get victory, and the glory of the soldiers! Anyone who wants to ambush the devil with me, stand up bravely! ”
"Sir, I do!"
"I do! Kill the devil and take revenge! ”
"Count me in ......"
“……”
The fighting spirit of these stragglers was completely stimulated by Ye Lei, and almost all of them stood up and were willing to follow Ye Lei to Baoluo Highway to ambush the devils.
Ye Lei roared: "I have only one style of doing things, blood debt and blood repayment!" ”
"Blood debt and blood payment! Blood debt and blood repayment! ……”
The stragglers shouted in a deafening voice, and they returned to the battlefield with a lot of blood.
However, at this time, Ye Lei didn't know that someone actually wanted to be with him, and that person also wanted to do a big job on the Baoluo Highway.
