Chapter 546: The Crazy Company Commander (Second Watch)
The northwest of the imperial court was in chaos, Beijing began to talk, Alaska in the Americas also became a battlefield, and many things were happening in the world at the same time. But for the soldiers on the front line of Temple Street, everything is too far away, and their world is still only fighting.
Life at the front line is always sad, for example, the soldiers of the Russian army can only live in the tunnels, gnaw on the potatoes dug up in an unknown year, and then pray that the heavy shells of the Manchurians will not fall on their heads. The life of the Manchurian soldiers was a little better, they had concrete houses to live in, and in addition to entering the temple street and risking their lives to catch rats, they also had some cultural and recreational activities, and they were engaged in infrastructure construction or something.
Temple Street is Chinese territory, so it will also become an important port city in northern Manchuria in the future, and soldiers will build houses and roads, not only to improve their own lives, but also to leave a place for future immigrants. It is not easy to repair a house after the cold winter freezes the earth, but it is more comfortable than going to Temple Street City to be shot cold, so the soldiers are still willing to do some chores here, of course, there are some exceptions.
The well-developed railway transportation system made the Manchurian Army's life very comfortable, and they could eat a rich lunch in a clean and tidy canteen, and they could also eat fresh fruits transported from the South Seas. That is, sometimes, the fruit will freeze, but it is good to eat it. In the army, there are strict rules, everyone has to line up to eat, and cutting in line here can be a serious violation of discipline, even mid-level officers do not have such a privilege. However, some dirty guys messed up the rules, and they ate when they entered the door, and while taking it with their hands, they also cursed and cursed. But not only did no one care about them, everyone also let them, even the middle-level officers gave up their positions to them, and some officers even gave their own officer meals to these guys. They are a special group of people in the Temple Street area, when everyone gave up gnawing on frozen bones, only they are still persevering, they are the Ninth Company of the First Brigade of the Seventh Division - the Ninth Company of Dagong.
"Lao Guo, how is it today? What about your company commander? Everyone inadvertently moved away from these filthy guys, except for a few officers such as majors and captains.
"It's still the same damage! Company Commander Wang was shot again, and he was bandaged by the health team! Guo Zhen, the deputy company commander of the Ninth Company, was eating a frozen banana while soaking rice in beef soup.
"Hurt again? You'll have to lie down in the health team for a few days! "Company Commander Wang's injury is definitely not news, this master is injured almost every day. The officers didn't care, and seemed to be looking forward to this company commander Wang lying in the hospital for a while longer.
"Sir, I'll bet you on a month's salary, and before I finish this bowl of rice, our company commander will be able to come back!" Guo Zhen threw the chopsticks into the bowl with a snap, and everyone could see that he was full of resentment, even those soldiers who were covered in dirt were also snorting.
"Don't bet, we believe it!" The officers don't bet on this, Company Commander Wang is a character who can take three shots and fight to the death, they don't fight this kind of luck.
"It's evil, Lao Maozi's marksmanship is getting worse and worse, he used to be able to lie down for two days, but now the guns are all scratched skin, something!" Guo Zhen didn't know whether to scold Lao Maozi or his company commander.
After Guoxing Aqin led the main force of the Manchurian Army to encircle Temple Street, he also launched two rounds of offensives against Temple Street, but in the face of Lao Maozi, who had become a marmot, he was really a dog biting a hedgehog and had nowhere to go. So the offensive turned into an intermittent artillery bombardment and a protracted siege, and the Manchurian army had abandoned the ground attack on Temple Street. But this is only the majority of people, not including Guo Zhen's madman company commander. Everyone was ready to starve Lao Maozi to death, but Guo Zhen's crazy company commander still had to use bayonets and bullets to solve the problem by himself, regardless of leading the troops to kill in Temple Street City.
Originally, all the departments stopped attacking, and the Ninth Company still fought by itself, and it was to be punished by the superiors. However, Guo Zhen's company commander had a good life, and the first time he disobeyed the order, he achieved the result of destroying the two tunnels of the Russian army, and was rewarded by Guoxing's personal order, and Shangfeng was not good at caring about them anymore. When the various departments began to build infrastructure work one after another, the Ninth Company became the only unit still fighting on the front line, and the rare few days of rest were all because the company commander was put in the hospital.
Everyone is willing to be rewarded for meritorious service, but when everyone in the Ninth Company has medals on their chests and rushes into the enemy pile regardless of it, the soldiers can't stand it a little. After more than two months of fierce fighting on Temple Street, the Ninth Company made countless meritorious contributions, but the casualties also exceeded two-thirds. The overall situation has been decided, and the soldiers all want to go back to the glorious court alive, and no one wants to die here for no reason. But the company commander is crazy, and all his words are on the line, and they complain that they are afraid of war. These poor fellows could only feel aggrieved in their hearts while praying that the company commander would stay in the hospital for two more days.
"There's a fight on the POWs!" I don't know who shouted at the door of the cafeteria. Seeing the excitement is the general psychology of the people, even the soldiers are not exempt from vulgarity, and the soldiers, who have nothing to do, began to move their steps and leaned towards the prisoner of war camp.
"I'll go, it's our company commander!" Guo Zhen completely pushed the bowl aside, and he had to persuade him again.
After the Manchurian Army surrounded Temple Street, some Russian soldiers who were faint from hunger or surrounded on the outer line began to surrender to the Manchurian Army in order to survive. In order to attack the Russian army in Temple Street, Guoxinga did not abuse these guys, but built a prisoner of war camp and raised these guys with good food and drink. The effect is also not bad, as the city of Temple Street becomes more and more miserable, there are more and more Russian troops who lay down their arms and go into the prisoner of war camp.
However, there were always fights in the prisoner of war camp, and it was difficult for the prisoners to survive, so naturally they had no intention of causing trouble, and the people who fought were all Manchurian troops, and eight of them were Guo Zhen's company commanders. This uncle, who is dressed in military medals, goes crazy whenever he sees the Russians, but whenever he passes by the prisoner of war camp, there is no time when he does not do it. The captives laughed at him and wanted to beat, the captives cried that he still had to beat, and the captives were beaten the same way with expressionless faces. The mad company commander often comes and goes, and a few captains in charge of the prisoner of war camp are gone, and they can't use their territory as a martial arts hall! So the last few fights of the madman company commander were fought with his own people. Because the Russians can no longer be beaten, the madman company commander has been in a bad mood for fighting recently, and I don't know why they are fighting again today.
"Oh my God!" Guo Zhen slipped to the prisoner of war camp while wiping his mouth, ready to say a few good words, and pulled his ancestor away, but as soon as he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that today would not end well.
A fence in the prisoner of war camp had been knocked down, three or five Manchurian lieutenants were pulling and twisting on the ground, and a Russian prisoner was lying on the ground next to him, covered in blood. The captive's throat was covered with blood, and it was still steaming, and it looked like someone had been cut open by a throat. Killing a prisoner at this time is not something that can be fooled by a few words, at least you have to pull the epaulettes. Guo Zhen didn't have any feelings about whether he could be a company commander, he only knew that his ancestor today had caused a big disaster.
