At night, half past one in the morning.

In the Nakajo Mountains at night, the mountain wind gusts and the temperature plummets. On the small hill north of Wenyu Village, nearly 300 soldiers of the Third Army of the National Army were stationed.

After dark, the military headquarters drew 180 soldiers from the remnants of the guard regiment and some units that had lost their formation, reinforced the defenders on the hill for the last time, and appointed Zhao Shixun, the captain of the 3rd Army Guard Regiment, as the commander of the unnamed hill guard battalion. In order to make up for the lack of firepower of the defending troops, the military headquarters gave Zhao Shixun all five heavy machine guns that could be mobilized. Zhao Shixun was asked to hold the commanding heights until five o'clock in the morning after the breakout operation was launched, and hold back the Japanese troops in the valley to the north at all costs.

The direction of the breakout formulated by the military headquarters is tentatively set to the south, east and southwest.

After nightfall, after a final inspection of the position, Zhao Shixun dragged his tired body back to the second line of defense on the mountainside.

After receiving reinforcements and orders, the last bit of hope in Zhao Shixun's heart was gone. Queen's ...... It's synonymous with death. But what can I do? As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders, and it is your destiny to kill yourself.

He withdrew from the northeast to Rehe, from Rehe to the Great Wall, from the Great Wall to Taiyuan, and finally came to the Middle Tianshan Mountain. In nearly ten years of fighting blood and fire, he has experienced too many defeats and deaths, and he has long been numb.

Although he knew that he would die, in line with the principle of dora and a few devils, Zhao Shixun still mobilized all the soldiers who could move after dark, and built a second improvised position on the mountainside fifty meters away from the mountain. He led 80 of the additional soldiers and the dozen or so old brothers who were left on the hill to defend it.

Due to the rush during the day, only the top of the hill has a simple position, which is very passive and difficult to effectively kill the attacking devils.

After arranging the upper and lower positions, the defense line changed from a simple one-line defense to a defense in depth. It can inflict greater damage on the attacking devils.

In order to facilitate the transfer of support, Zhao Shixun also dug a traffic trench overnight to connect the front and rear defense lines.

As soon as I sat down, an unbearable heat came up. Even my head felt dizzy. Zhao Shixun took off the kettle on his waist, raised his neck and wanted to take a sip, but he shook it for a long time, but he didn't pour out a drop of water.

Annoyed and throwing away the empty kettle, Zhao Shixun pulled his collar irritably. So that I can cool myself down.

"Battalion commander, drink mine."

I don't know when, the old immortal quietly came over and handed over a kettle with a flattering face.

Nodding his thanks, Zhao Shixun took the kettle and drank it all.

"Lao Wu, have you sent all the dry food?"

Gu Dong Gu Dong poured a breath, and the heat in his body suddenly disappeared a lot. Wiped a handful of water stains from the side of his mouth. Zhao Shixun looked at the old immortal and asked.

"It's all sent to the battalion commander, and everyone has a share. Rest assured! ”

"Fortunately, these officials still know the truth that they have to eat before they die."

Hearing this, he nodded, and Zhao Shixun leaned weakly on the trench, waiting for the moment of decisive battle.

"Thank you, old Wu, ......."

"Battalion commander, you still call me an old immortal, my real name has not been called for many years, it sounds weird ......."

Before the appointment in the evening, Zhao Shixun asked the name of the old immortal. It turned out that his real name was Wu Runze, which sounded quite bookish. It's far from the image of the old immortal himself.

After the reinforcements came at night, Zhao Shixun unexpectedly did not assign all of them to various reinforced platoons. Instead, a new fourth company was formed, and the old immortal, who was only a squad leader, was appointed as the deputy company commander, and he served as the battalion commander and the fourth company commander at the same time. As for why they did this, not only were the three platoon commanders puzzled, but even the old immortal himself was in a fog.

Regarding the questions of the three platoon commanders, Zhao Shixun did not explain, but directly promoted the three to company commanders.

This was not done by Zhao Shixun on purpose, but an order sent by Shangfeng.

Battlefield promotion, again at this time. Everyone understands in their hearts what the reason is, it is nothing more than to boost morale.

If the only thing that works is that after you die, your family will get a little more pension.

After the new appointment was made, everyone accepted it silently, and there was no excitement to be seen. Out of the old immortal.

As for why Zhao Shixun promoted the old immortal, the reason is not complicated, at least in Zhao Shixun's opinion.

He has been in the army for more than ten years, and as a soldier who has drunk Oriental ink, Cho Se-hoon knows it well. Although this kind of person looks like a veteran ruffian, he has been a soldier and carries a gun for more than ten years, and he doesn't seem to know anything except being able to carry a gun. But the so-called long-term illness becomes a cure. The old immortal can be on the battlefield for more than ten years, and the dead are rolling around in the pile and can still be mixed up alive until now, not because of how big his life is or what divine power he has.

It's his rich battlefield experience and intuition about the battle. Although he may not even know how to write his own name, he can accurately judge the situation on the battlefield and make decisions that are beneficial to him and save his life.

And these things cannot be taught to you by any book or instructor, and you can only learn from blood and death, from defeat and victory, step by step. And there are not many people who can learn.

In short, although this kind of person who is old and immortal is usually very annoying, this kind of person is definitely useful on the battlefield!

After being unexpectedly "promoted", the old immortal is also like a dead tree in spring, and the whole spirit has gone up to a level.

In addition to following Zhao Shixun's side, he even began to sell a little bit of strength when digging trenches.

At this moment, several dark shadows slipped down the hill along the traffic trench.

……

Seeing the three new company commanders who walked in front of him, Zhao Shixun was a little surprised.

"What's wrong with you guys, is there something wrong?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and after a short silence, it was Nie Yunshan who was the first to speak.

"Battalion commander, we have a little question about your firepower configuration."

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Zhao Shixun frowned slightly.

"We are the only commanding height in the vicinity, and the upper peak orders us to hold out until dawn to ensure that the devils will not use the terrain here to suppress our army.

However, you have deployed two heavy machine guns to a new position halfway up the mountain, which we do not think is appropriate. Heavy machine guns were supposed to be placed on top of the hill with the best field of view and firing range. In this way, once there is a change, it will also be convenient for us to cover the brothers of the fourth company to return to the top of the mountain. ”

When the other two heard this, they also nodded together.

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's brows immediately twisted into a river.

The meaning of the gun and the stick in Nie Yunshan's words, it is impossible for Zhao Shixun not to hear it. These three people were obviously from the same unit, and obviously didn't take themselves as a temporary cheap battalion commander very seriously.

Zhao Shixun also knew that the style of the mountains within the national army was very serious, and there were not a few people who excluded each other.

For some reason, the three seemed to be a little unhappy with their behavior of forming some of the supplementary troops into a company and personally leading them. Although they didn't say it on the surface, it doesn't mean that Zhao Shixun can't see it.

As for the issue of the configuration of heavy machine gun firepower, Zhao Shixun had already explained it to them before. Now that the big war is imminent, the three of them broke away from their positions together and came to their own place, just for the deployment of two heavy machine guns?!

How unreasonable!

"I know what you mean, but I have my own reasons for doing this. The military breakout operation is imminent, and I don't have time to explain it to you. Hurry back to your defensive positions. ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then said no more, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the top of the mountain.

Seeing the three of them leave, Zhao Shixun looked down at his Swiss pocket watch. Less than ten minutes are before the breakout action.

"Battalion commander, these three people from the turtle son don't taste right."

At this moment, the old immortal suddenly moved over and said.

"It doesn't taste right, you're saying they're a bit aggressive."

Turning his head to look at the old immortal in confusion, Zhao Shixun asked suspiciously.

"It's not that simple, I see that lieutenant's eyes are fierce. Turtle son, I've seen this kind of look many times. ”

"Oh! Where have you seen it? ”

"Cai Xiongfei, He Xingjian."

The old immortal habitually smoked his empty pipe and whispered the names of the two men.

Cai Xiongfei ...... He Xingjian! ”

After reciting two sentences silently, Zhao Shixun stood up suddenly. Dragged over the old immortal. Glancing at the dark mountain, he lowered his voice and shouted:

"Old immortal, you fucking believe it!"

"Ahem...... battalion commander, gentle."

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun slowly let go of his hand, but he still stared at the other party's eyes.

The names of these two people who are said by the old immortal are thunderous today. That's a pair of traitors who everyone in the country knows and everyone knows who defected to the enemy and treason!

"Battalion commander, although I don't have any skills, I can't read. But I've never missed a blind looker.

These three turtle sons are not only blind, but also ruthless. Obviously, it's going to be a big vote. ”

Glancing at the place where the devils were entrenched at the bottom of the mountain, the old immortal continued.

"Battalion commander, you also know in your heart that although we have been replenished with a few heavy machine guns, there is a fart! Without artillery, the attacking devil hand cannon can extinguish our machine guns. Don't say that you know it in your heart, even Wang Mancang, that foodie, understands it. ”

"But that's it, the three turtle sons actually ran down and demanded that the machine guns be withdrawn to the mountains and gathered together. Isn't that stupid?

The only reason why they did this was to let the devils rush up quickly, to be precise, with fewer dead people.

If I'm not mistaken, the machine guns on the hill must have changed positions by now. Not against the devils down the mountain. It's against us! ”

"As long as the gunfire of the breakthrough sounds, the three machine guns on the mountain will burst through against us, and by the time the devils rush up, we will have few ...... to breathe.

With our heads, the devils will naturally accept the refuge of these turtle sons, and maybe they can be promoted to the next level. ”
