Chapter 1027: The Story of a Veteran
At half past three in the morning, at full speed, the new regiment finally arrived at the ambush site on time.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the third month of the lunar calendar, and it was a sunny day, so there was moonlight at night, which made the preparation of the ambush of the new regiment much easier.
The ambush site Yang Yun chose was a hilly area, and the road was lined with slopes, the slope was not large, and it was not high, and it was not dangerous at all.
The slope is sparsely populated with pines and cypresses, as well as other miscellaneous trees, with some weeds and ferns growing in betweeds.
Some places are more lush, while others are more sparse.
The morning breeze blew and made a rustling sound.
Under the command of Yang Yun, the brothers of the new regiment tried their best to choose a location with lush vegetation to hide.
No fortifications were built, and all depended on the terrain.
First, there is no time, and secondly, because if you do that, you will definitely expose yourself, and then the plan to ambush the little devil will be bankrupt.
This time the new regiment was dispatched almost entirely in its entirety, including the newly joined brothers, with a total number of more than 1,100 men.
Liu Zhenhai, the commander of the third battalion, led the third battalion to guard the valley, and the second battalion commander Zhang Jinpeng led the second battalion to defend the valley and cut off the road surrounded by the conflict in front of the little devils.
As for the main task of ambushing the little devils, it was handed over to Hu Yunfei's battalion.
The sharpshooter platoon is scattered and lurking all over the battlefield, and their task is not to kill as many little devils as possible, but to accurately kill the important targets of the little devils.
Such as a little devil officer, like a little devil artilleryman, like a little devil machine gunner.
The reconnaissance company was sent out by Yang Yun to collect real-time intelligence.
When everything was ready, it was already past five o'clock in the morning.
At the beginning of May in the solar calendar, the sky was bright very quickly, and Yongcheng County was basically bright at five o'clock.
The dew stained the new group of brothers, wetting their clothes, making them feel cold and sticky all over their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.
However, in order to prevent the target from being exposed, they forced themselves to lie on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
Of course, this is all because of the death order given by Yang Yun before.
The 1,100 people in the new regiment, almost most of them are recruits who have never been on the battlefield, even if you add the 100 recruits from the last battle against Nenichiro, the total number of veterans is worth 200.
When they were about to participate in the battle, although the hearts of these recruits were excited, they were more nervous.
Especially as the sun slowly rose on the eastern horizon, the sun swayed on them, making their tension more and more intense, because they knew that as time went by, the little devil was getting closer and closer to them.
"Boy! Are you scared? ”
A veteran of the first battalion patted the recruit on the shoulder at his side and asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't ...... Don't be afraid ......."
"I'm not afraid of what are you trembling about?"
"I ...... It's cold...... Cold ......"
"Was it colder before the sun came out than it is now?"
The recruit was poked by the veteran, and a few more flushes suddenly appeared on his immature face.
"How old are you?"
The veteran did not continue to tease him, but asked with a serious face.
"Ten...... Eighteen. ”
"Why were you a soldier?"
"Being a soldier can have enough to eat, and being a soldier can no longer be oppressed and bullied!"
"Hmm!"
The veteran nodded: "Good!" But if you don't serve as a soldier well, you may die in Huangquan, are you afraid? ”
"No...... Unafraid! ”
"Lie!"
"Report squad leader...... Actually, I'm still a little scared. ”
"That's right!"
The veteran patted the recruit on the shoulder again: "I am also from the recruit, and I understand your current mood very well."
I'm not afraid of your jokes, the first time I went to battle, I peed directly into the crotch of my pants when an enemy shell landed on my side and exploded. ”
"Hahaha!"
The recruits couldn't help laughing, even they didn't notice it, they were scared to death one moment, but this moment they completely forgot about it.
"That time, our squad leader sacrificed himself to save me.
It was that shot that killed our squad leader. ”
The veteran, with a melancholy look on his face, seemed to remember something painful.
And the laughter of the recruits came to an abrupt end at this moment.
"From that moment on, I transformed from a recruit to a veteran, and in that battle, I killed more than a dozen little devils in my wet pants."
Hearing this, the recruits obviously thought it was very funny, and the veterans also said it was very funny, but I don't know why, they just couldn't laugh.
"Before that, I joined the army with the same idea as you, just to feed myself and not be bullied by others.
But since then, my mind has changed.
I know what the real meaning of joining the army is, for revenge, for the mission, for the country, for the nation, for the family, for friends, and for myself!
You may not understand this yet, but you will certainly understand it in the future. ”
At this, the old soldier's words paused again, he took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself.
"Do you know how many little devils have died in the hands of our new group?"
After exhaling a puff of smoke, the veteran turned to the recruits and asked.
"I heard that there are tens of thousands!"
"Do you think you're bragging?"
The recruits shook their heads.
They don't even know what the concept of tens of thousands of little devils is, but because they are a member of the new group, they blindly believe that this is not bragging.
"Do you think our new group is very powerful?"
The new group nodded.
"Bullshit!"
As he spoke, the veteran shook his head again: "No, you can't say how powerful our new regiment is, it should be said that our regiment is very powerful!"
If we were to replace someone else as our regimental seat, then our new regiment would not be much different from an ordinary infantry regiment. ”
"Is our group really so powerful?"
A recruit asked.
"Are you questioning Lao Tzu's words?"
The veteran was furious.
"Squad leader, I was wrong."
"Tell you, we're not human."
"Huh? Not human? What is that? ”
"Living Immortals!"
"It was he who changed my faith, and it won't be long before you will have faith.
Then you'll know what it means to be in the military!
If you're just trying to get your food off the beaten path, then there are only two outcomes? ”
"Which two?"
"Our new group is born with little devils, where there are little devils, there are us, and where there are us, the little devils will be killed!
Therefore, if you are a soldier, you will either die on the battlefield, or you will be removed from our new regiment. ”
The recruits were shocked when they heard this, because neither of these options was what they wanted.
"If you don't want Lao Tzu to follow in the footsteps of our old squad leader, then give Lao Tzu a hard little devil!"
"Huh?"
Everyone woke up from their stunned and soon realized the meaning of the squad leader's words.
Isn't that the ...... to follow in the footsteps of the old squad leader?
"Don't worry, squad leader, we will never lose the people of the second class!"
The recruits shouted in unison.
"Good!"
