Ye Lei returned to the battlefield, and by the time he arrived, the battle was over.

The thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood permeated the surroundings, and the scene was messy and miserable, with corpses on both sides everywhere, and blood flowing out stained the surrounding land piece by piece. Ye Lei knew that the two sides were going through another bloody battle.

A group of commandos gathered in an open space behind the position, their expressions were heavy, and some of the fighters even shed tears, and even the air was confused with a sad atmosphere.

Ye Lei quickly squeezed through the crowd, and the scene in front of him made him stunned.

Li Hu hugged Liu Hongshen's corpse, and his cold and serious face also shed sad tears. The man didn't flick when he had tears, but Li Hu's tears fell on Liu Hongshen's face one by one.

This is the cruelty of war, and before there is time to say goodbye, people are gone in an instant. Ye Lei found five single holes on Liu Hongshen's body, and he was sacrificed on the way to charge. The surrounding warriors all bowed their heads, in addition to grief and despair, the death of the commander also means that the operation has failed, and they may never go back.

"Big Brother~"

I don't know why, Ye Lei walked to Liu Hongshen's corpse and shouted out from the bottom of his heart.

Li Hu said to Ye Lei in a hoarse voice: "At the last moment, the battalion commander was still worried about you, worried about whether you rescued them. ”

"I've been rescued, and I've escorted the wounded home. Big brother, you can rest assured. ”

This is not superstition, Ye Lei knows what Liu Hongshen heard, and hopes that he can feel at ease and dumbfounded after hearing it. And the corners of his eyes flickered uncontrollably with tears.

Li Hu gently put down the body, stood up and looked at Ye Lei, and said again: "The battalion commander knows that you will definitely come back, he handed it over, and now you are the new commander of the commando." ”

Ye Lei glanced at the people around him, they all focused their eyes on him, and there were even captains and lieutenants among them who were higher in rank than him. The eyes of the people around him were complicated, they knew Ye Lei's ability, but Ye Lei was only a second lieutenant platoon commander after all, could he lead the commando team out of the current predicament?

At this time, the commandos were only able to fight more than a hundred people. This is behind enemy lines, surrounded by heavy troops, with planes in the sky and warships on the ground, so it is more appropriate to say that it is a dead end than a dilemma.

Ye Lei took off his steel helmet and hat, and roared heartbreakingly: "Salute!" Send our battalion commander! ”

"Brush" "Brush" "Brush" "......"

Dozens of people moved in unison, escorting their heroes with the most solemn military salute.

After the end, Li Hu left with Liu Hongshen's body in his arms, and the battalion commander had to stay with his soldiers. In the distance, there was a field full of warriors who had died in the battle, numbering as many as a hundred.

Ye Lei was a little at a loss, could he really command this elite force? He did not doubt his own abilities, but the trust that the soldiers placed in him. They are all veterans of a hundred battles, and some of them have higher positions than themselves, and they can really transfer command with Liu Hongshen's dying words alone.

At this time, a captain with eyes came to Ye Lei. The man was tall and wide, with a mature and steady face, and although he wore glasses, the temperament of a soldier exuded unreservedly on him.

The captain faced Ye Lei and suddenly saluted loudly: "Salute to our new commander!" ”

With a sound of "brush~", the people around saluted again, rushing at their new commander Ye Lei. The captain's actions completely dispelled the doubts in everyone's hearts, they were willing to obey Ye Lei's command, hoping that he could create a miracle and kill a way out for the commando.

Ye Lei returned the military salute and should be trusted by them.

After the matter was over, Ye Lei brought the captain in. His name is Cheng Zifeng, and he is the adjutant assigned to Liu Hongshen by Xie Jinyuan, the person in charge of the plan, who is responsible for assisting from the side. The reason why Ye Lei called Cheng Zifeng was because this person was not simple, and he would be a good help for himself, Ye Lei first said politely: "Thank you, because your actions have stabilized the morale of the army." ”

Cheng Zifeng confessed: "Being strong in individual combat does not mean that the commander is strong, after all, you are only a second lieutenant." I did this to calm the restless hearts of the soldiers; The second is for Camp Commander Liu. He chose to believe you at the last minute, and I don't believe it for any reason. However, if I want to truly trust you, it depends on your ability. ”

Cheng Zifeng's honesty made Ye Lei feel at ease, because he was a straightforward person, he didn't do anything, and he was a good soldier.

Ye Lei asked: "How many more people can we fight, and how many wounded?" ”

Cheng Zifeng replied: "There are only more than 120 people who can fight, which is equivalent to a company. Wounded ......"

Ye Lei asked again: "How much?" ”

Cheng Zifeng hesitated and said in a low voice: "More than one hundred and fifty, half of them are still seriously wounded, and most of them are caused by bombing." Maybe, maybe they won't be able to go back. ”

In positional warfare, most of the defenders are hit in the head and are killed directly, so most of the injuries come from bombing.

The number of wounded outnumbered the number of combatants, and there was no logistical support. Ye Lei has a feeling of being embattled and ambushed on all sides. But no matter what, these wounded must be alive, and it is still the same sentence: veteran Jin Gui.

Ye Lei had to find a way to get out of the predicament and turn things around, so he asked, "Where are the wounded now?" ”

Cheng Zifeng said: "In order to prevent the enemy from bombing, Battalion Commander Liu dispersed the wounded to four places. Only the Jiang military doctor's settlement was located in the south, and the battalion commander wanted to protect it, but he didn't expect that it was the most dangerous there. ”

The commandos have reached the moment of life and death. Ye Lei looked at the time, it was now half past three in the afternoon, it was still very early before dark, and the enemy would launch several rounds of attacks. So you have to find a way to hold it up until dark.

Ye Lei ordered: "Immediately send a platoon of troops to concentrate all the wounded." To the northeast of the village there is the sitting church, where the space is large enough to be housed. ”

"What if the enemy discovers an air strike?"

"They won't blow up the church, arrange it immediately."

"Yes!"

Cheng Zifeng saluted and went to arrange it immediately. No matter what happens later, Ye Lei now only wants to save the lives of the more than 150 wounded.

The establishment of the assault pair has long been disabled, and Ye Lei has reorganized the remaining troops into three platoons, a machine gun squad, and a firepower group, and all officers are divided into platoon commanders and squad leaders according to their ranks. The second platoon entered the position to block the Japanese troops to the south, the first platoon acted as a reserve, and the third platoon went to the church to protect the wounded. Sentinels were sent to the east to monitor reinforcements from the Huishan Wharf.

Ye Lei found a communication soldier again, but the radio had been blown up and could not get in touch with the division headquarters, so the possibility of requesting foreign aid had been shattered, and the commando team could only fight alone.

In the end, Ye Lei gave the last order, giving up all fire coverage, and the machine gun squad, fire team, and platoon were all scattered and hidden. The reason why there were such large casualties before was because the enemy used ground-air coordination, and this time Ye Lei wanted the opponent's air force to be completely dumb.

The assault team is already in a desperate situation, Ye Lei has decided to make a desperate gamble and fight the enemy to the end!
