Chapter 166: Looking up at the sky and not closing your eyes
When Li Xiansong came to the position of the first battalion, the deputy battalion commander with blood-stained red gauze wrapped around his head ran over and shouted: "Report to the regimental seat, the commander of my first battalion was unfortunately heroic in the second round of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army. ”
"Okay, okay, the front is down and the back can follow, I am satisfied, Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, I hope that your battalion can hold its position, and you must not give up your position without an order, and you must fight to the end with the attacking Japanese army."
"Please rest assured, sir, my battalion of soldiers is in the position."
"Battalion Commander Liu, how many of you can participate in the battle in the first battalion now? What about armament and ammunition? ”
Deputy Battalion Commander Liu once again made a report: "According to the regimental seat, when the 1st Battalion of the 528th Regiment entered the position, there were a total of 376 people, and after three desperate and bloody battles with the enemy, 219 people were killed and wounded, and now less than 200 people can participate in the battle. ”
He observed the face of the head of Li Xiansong while reporting, and when he saw that the face expression of the group seat was one of grief and anger, he was so frightened that he quickly shut up.
Li Xiansong was listening to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu's report, but suddenly lost his voice, not only withdrew his eyes from scanning the surroundings of the position, but looked at Deputy Battalion Commander Liu and asked, "Have you finished reporting or have you not reported?" ”
"Report to the group, I haven't finished the report yet."
"Your grandma, why didn't you stop after you finished reporting, you thought that the head of this regiment was idle and had nothing to do to come to your camp to visit the scenery, right? If you have something to say, let it go, look at your submissive appearance, how can you lead the troops? ”
"Yes, regimental seat, my battalion is now in urgent need of replenishment of light and heavy machine guns and other guns and ammunition, and even more needs medicine, if only I could give the soldiers in the position a meal, it would be even better." Deputy Battalion Commander Liu was scolded by Commander Li, and he held his head high and reported loudly.
"Well, the commander should have such courage in order not to be intimidated in front of the vicious enemy, and to lead the soldiers to kill the enemy bravely. However, I can only answer you with two words: 'no'. ”
Ma Dan, since 'no' still asks people to report truthfully, arousing people's hope, just send away these two words, this is too boring, right?
"Tuanza, there are really not many bullets in our battalion, especially the soldiers who have eaten some food at noon yesterday, and now the water and rice have not been touched, those injured soldiers, because they can't get treatment and food replenishment in time, watch them die like that, Tuanza, I feel uncomfortable."
"It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, do you think I'm not uncomfortable? I've been drinking a bowl of gruel since yesterday morning, and now it's still untouched, but am I shouting? My deputy battalion commander Liu, this is a tense moment of war, it is normal for logistics to be unsupported, you tell your brothers, there will be rice, braised pork will also be available, bear with it first, I will go to other battalions to have a look, if the food, weapons and ammunition are available, I will send them to you immediately. ”
"Thank you, Tuanzuo, the officers and soldiers of our first battalion are waiting for you."
When the regiment commander heard Deputy Battalion Commander Liu say this, the tears in his eyes could no longer be controlled, and he didn't even say hello to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, turned around and left quickly.
The second company commander standing next to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said: "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, I saw the regiment leaving with tears in his eyes, did he speak rudely and lied to us just now, and felt uncomfortable, so he shed tears?" ”
"As smart as you are, how do you know that Danza is lying? Go back and tell the brothers, Tuanzuo said, the meal will be delivered when it is ready, the weapons and ammunition will be replenished quickly, and the rice and braised pork will be available, just be patient and wait. ”
Deputy Battalion Commander Liu said, like Commander Li who left, turned around and walked quickly to a fortification with tears in his eyes, grabbed a shovel and began to work hard to build the destroyed trench, and let the tears flow out.
At this time, when the engineer battalion holding the Zhangjiaji position at the front of Miaohang had a slight truce between the enemy's artillery fire and the attack of the ground troops, Du Zhiguo, the commander of the engineer battalion, stood in front of the trench and looked at the Japanese position 300 meters opposite with his glasses.
The deputy battalion commander came over and asked, "Battalion Commander Du, is it possible that the Japanese army is so armistice today?" There's no going to attack again, is it? ”
Du Zhiguo put down his binoculars and sneered: "Who can know, the little devil officer is thieves, it seems that the opposite position is quiet like a dead camp, maybe in the blink of an eye, the devil will attack us again under the cover of the powerful firepower of the aircraft artillery." ”
Just as Du Zhiguo and the deputy battalion commander were talking, suddenly there was a roar of planes from far and near overhead, and before the Japanese bombers could fly overhead, the enemy's tanks and artillery launched the fourth 100-round artillery bombardment of the first-line position in Miaohang.
Shells fall on the position, this kind of indiscriminate shelling, even if you escape fast and far, can you escape the shrapnel of the explosion and fly out of a distance of twenty or thirty meters in an instant?
At this time, Wang Feng's 'Third Regiment', which was running forward to reinforce the forward position of Miaoxing, suddenly heard the sound of violent artillery bombardment less than 150 meters away from them.
Luo Gang ordered the troops to speed up the march, and be sure to rush into the position to reinforce the friendly and neighboring troops to resist the attacking Japanese troops before the enemy's artillery attack was over.
Just in front of them, the artillery fire kept exploding, and the roar of Japanese fighters was heard in the air, and they flew into the sky in the blink of an eye.
"Lie down, I'll lie down and hide immediately." Wang Feng screamed and rushed to the car that was following closely behind, and shouted: "Stop, immediately jump out of the car and leave the car twenty meters and lie down." ”
Without waiting for the car to stop, Wang Feng slammed the car door, pulled out Gu Ming who was sitting in the car, and caught it in the creaking nest like a crazy lion, rushed out more than ten meters and suddenly threw Gu Ming to the ground, and the whole person lay on Gu Ming and shouted: "Don't move." ”
The Japanese fighters circled in the air looking for targets, and when they found the forward positions of China that had been bombed in the first three times, some figures were shaking, and they suddenly dived to a certain height, dropped a few bombs, and the on-board machine guns spat out tongues of fire and swept towards the positions.
Dozens of Japanese fighters launched an expanded bombardment of the forward position of the Fifth Army in Miaoxing, and the entire position was blown up by the bombed beacon fire, and several trees with thick bowls on the side of the road were either destroyed by the roots or blown up at the waist, becoming a half-section of wooden stakes and pestles on the ground.
As a result of the increased range of Japanese fighters and the aerial bombardment carried out this time, the 3rd Regiment, which was lying on the spot more than 100 meters away from the forward position, caused minor injuries to more than a dozen soldiers even though it was a little far from the center of the explosion.
The first car that Wang Feng stopped was affected by an aircraft bomb that exploded nearby, and the front part of the car, together with the cab, was blown into a pile of scrap metal.
Five minutes later, the Japanese bombers finally flew away from the position, the ground artillery fire also stopped bombing, and the entire position was still in the midst of explosions and fireworks.
Wang Feng finally stopped when he heard the loud explosion, and then shook off the soil on his body and dragged Gu Ming to stand up, Gu Ming's body suddenly weakened, let out a 'ah' scream, and fell to the ground.
