Chapter 12 Post-War Summary

"Retreat" At this time, I no longer cared if the shouts would be heard by the puppet army, and while shouting orders to the soldiers, I raised my rifle and aimed at the puppet soldiers behind me

"Bang bang" two gunshots, and the two puppet soldiers behind him fell in response.

The two of them were so anxious that in order to facilitate the 'shooting' of the volunteers to kill and injure them more quickly, they even adopted a kneeling position to 'shoot' and attack. There was no place to hide in this open field, which made the two of them as obvious as lice on a bald head, and the fact that the distance between us and the enemy was only about twenty meters made me knock them to the ground in the first place.

After these two shots, I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I jumped up from the ground and ran to the flank.

"Bang bang ......" a few times, and almost at the moment when I jumped up, the guns of the puppet army scouts rang out, and several bullets whizzed past my back.

The remaining puppet scouts were a little smarter, and seemed to know the phrase I had taken as my motto, "Save yourself and destroy the enemy." It turned out that this sentence was also true, the two puppet soldiers who took a kneeling position just now hoped to kill the enemy faster and more, but they were killed by me first. And the rest of the puppet army...... I think there were at least a dozen of them, all lying in the snow and wearing white camouflage, so it was hard for me to pinpoint their location at a glance.

I believe that if I were given a little time, even a little, I would be able to find out where they were with my rifle and kill them one by one. But I don't have time, the main forces of the puppet army are about to withdraw into the forest, and once they have withdrawn into the forest and found cover, they will soon redirect their attention and guns at us. At that time, my army will be caught in the middle of the puppet army's two-sided attack.

So I had no choice but to retreat, and getting the warriors out of this dead place as soon as possible was our only chance. The warriors were well aware of this, so they all rushed to the side with their waists bent over.

"Bang bang ......" A few more bullets hit my feet, and the snow powder kicked up by the bullets flew into my liberation shoes, making me feel a little cold.

It seems that those puppet scouts recognized me, maybe it was the "retreat" I just called, so they recognized me as an "officer". Maybe they'll think I'm a platoon commander or a company commander at best, but apparently an officer of this rank doesn't attract much firepower. I thought that if they knew that I was a regimental commander, they would have been aiming a dozen guns at me, but luckily it wasn't......

I stopped my steps, turned around and knelt on the ground in a beautiful posture, and quickly raised my rifle to "bang" two shots in the direction of the puppet army, and two screams came from the snow.

As I ran, my eyes were fixed on my feet, and I used part of my peripheral vision to observe the direction of the puppet scouts, whose guns burst out of their guns and revealed their positions.

I didn't stop for a moment, I rolled on the spot after the two shots, and then jumped up again and sprinted all the way. Just as I thought, a few more bullets hit where I was just now.

Fighting a war is about speed and human reactions. Bullets can't be dodged, because no matter how fast a person reacts, he can't react as fast as a bullet. But if the person who 'fires' the bullet can't keep up with his reaction, then he will only miss the opportunity.

As it is now, even though I am right in front of their eyes, or even at the muzzle of their guns, their bullets have never been able to keep up with me. Sometimes I walked quickly, sometimes suddenly lay down, sometimes rolled to dodge, so that the puppet army scouts had no way to accurately capture my route, those 'shot' bullets either hit me or hit me behind, and even sometimes when I stopped, I would raise my gun to shoot back, judge their position according to the sparks coming out of the muzzle, and then 'precisely' kill a few puppet soldiers lying in the snow.

The puppet army scouts were obviously attracted by my "performance", or they felt that so many people were dealing with me, not only did they not kill me, but I played like a monkey, and I beat them down several times one after another. So there were noticeably more bullets flying at me. That's what I'm all about, the more bullets come at me, the safer the fighters are.

At this time, there was a sudden exclamation from the team, and my heart couldn't help but 'twitch', it was Lin Xue. Because she's the only 'female' fighter among us. The exclamation just now was obviously made by the 'woman'......

Realizing this, I couldn't help but speed up my pace and follow. At a glance, what I saw was that two soldiers were supporting Lin Xue on the left and right.

Luckily, maybe it's just a foot injury.

"One squad to cover, all troops retreat" When the team was safely turned into the dead corner of the enemy's 'shooting', I gave the order to the soldiers.

"Yes" With a response, immediately a dozen fighters set up their guns in the direction of the enemy.

I couldn't help but sit on the ground and take a few deep breaths, although it wasn't for long, but it was almost exhausting all my strength. But even so, it was a kind of luck not to be hit by the puppet army.

"Captain Cui, let's go" Jiang Changshun saw me sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but come forward and said: "It's enough for me to command here, you better retreat first"

"Don't worry," I shook my head and said, "You forgot?" This is our territory, what can our highland puppet army do with us? ”

So far, it should be said that after we have successfully escaped from that dead land, there is actually not much danger left. The puppet army originally came to our army's camp to "rub oil" with the mentality of sneak attack, but their actions were inadvertently broken by us, and it was obvious that the strategic goal could not be successfully achieved. Coupled with the high ground of our army here, if the puppet army stays a little longer, it may be surrounded by our army at any time. So I think it's not very likely that the puppet army will catch up.

Sure enough, the soldiers nervously pointed their guns at the edge of the mountain, but none of the puppet soldiers came forward. After a while, Jiang Changshun went out to observe for a while, and then came back breathless and reported: "Commander Cui, the enemy has retreated. Walked in a hurry, and didn't even carry the corpse on his back."

"Hmm" I nodded, grabbed my rifle and stood up and said, "Let's go back too"

"Commander Cui......" Jiang Changshun asked suspiciously, "Don't you clean up the battlefield?" Just went back like that? ”

"It's better to 'hand' over to comrades from other units," I smiled lightly and said, "Maybe the puppet army has done tricks and tricks on the battlefield, such as installing tricks and mines or something?" It's also possible that there is a fake retreat, just waiting for us to go out and give us a hard time, you don't have enough experience, so let's 'hand it over' to other companies to deal with."

"Yes" Jiang Chang complied and didn't dare to say anything more, his face was as red as Guan Gong.

As soon as I gave a shout to the first group of soldiers, I ran along the path for a while to keep up with the main army.

"Captain Choi"

"Captain Choi"

……

Every time I passed a warrior, they would whisper and give me a respectful look that forced me to nod as I walked, which made me a bit like a pecking. I know that the reason why they behaved like this was because of the "performance" I had just made them completely convinced of me, the head of the regiment.

These warriors are my former classmates, and in some ways I think some of them still look down on me. After all, I wasn't a standout student when I was in step school. In fact, I should also say that he is a bad student who does not follow discipline and military rules. For example, tying up and retreating, not listening carefully in class, and housekeeping...... These are not comparable to them.

The respect they showed to me when they came to the army was only because I was a regimental commander. But in fact, the psychology is still quite unconvinced, until they saw my performance on the battlefield in this battle, they understood a little, the real battlefield and the training in the infantry school, those are really two different things.

"Where's the injury?" Running to Lin Xue's side, I asked with concern.

"No, it's okay......" Lin Xue turned around and saw that it was me, her face turned red, and then she quickly realized that there was a problem with her answer, and hurriedly replied: "Report to the head of the group, it's just that it's not a big deal if you sprain it."

"Hmm" Seeing that there was no blood under Lin Xue's feet, I was completely relieved, and at first I thought she was shot, but I didn't expect it to be just a sprain.

"It turned out to be just a sprain," and as soon as my mood relaxed, I couldn't help but joke again: "I thought I could send you back."

"Why can you send me back?" Hearing this, Lin Xue couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"It's easy," I replied solemnly, "if your foot is broken, why are you left here?" ”

There was a coax, and the surrounding warriors all burst into laughter. Lin Xue glared at me fiercely, but she couldn't do anything about me because she didn't want the other fighters to find out, so she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and when she looked like that, she just wanted to rush up and bite me immediately.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After a battle, the soldiers of the volunteer army usually sum up their combat experience, and the Ninth Company, which has just entered the army from the infantry school, is of course no exception. When we returned from the battlefield, the first thing Jiang Changshun did was to gather the soldiers together to criticize and self-criticize.

Also attending the meeting were Li Pinghe and Liu Shunyi, both of whom have always been very concerned about the cultivation of the Ninth Company. Liu Shunyi saw the potential of this army, and Li Pinghe because all the people in this team can be said to be his alumni. What's more, there is another person he cares about very much - Lin Xue.

Originally, he also thought that this was just a lurking operation, so the danger was not very great, but after listening to the soldiers roughly report the situation, knowing that the battle situation was so dangerous, the originally white face turned a little blue with fright. From the moment Lin Xue came back, she kept circling her, asking the hygienist over and over again, until even Lin Xue was embarrassed to stop her.

During this process, Lin Xue kept peeking at me, as if she was afraid that I would be angry. But I didn't care about that, and I ate a bowl of rice to myself. It's not because I'm hungry, it's because I've been freezing all night and need these hot foods to replenish my calories.

The reason why I don't care is not because I can let go, firstly, because I know that Lin Xue has always regarded Li Pinghe as my brother, and secondly, because I ...... There is no sense of crisis in my heart.

Yes, how can you say that there is no sense of crisis? I feel that I am in a strong state of affection for Lin Xue now, what kind of strong state is it? It can also be said to be a kind of confidence, because I believe that Lin Xue likes me, just like my performance on the battlefield just now, not only do I feel good about myself, but also get the approval of the soldiers.

Since it has been recognized by the soldiers, it will naturally be recognized by Lin Xue, right?

"Comrades," Jiang Changshun stood up and said: "Let me first talk about the results of our battle, the situation reported from the Seventh Company, in this battle we only killed 43 puppet soldiers at the cost of four casualties and five wounded, and won a complete victory in this battle."

"Good"

"Good"

……

The soldiers applauded, and the fighters who did not participate in the battle all threw envious glances at us.

"But ......" Jiang Changshun then said with a wry smile: "A large part of our results this time were fought by Commander Cui, I didn't see it clearly on the battlefield, but according to my opinion, Commander Cui alone has fought at least 20 enemies, we have a platoon of soldiers, and the enemies we have not fought as much as Commander Cui alone."

Jiang Changshun's remarks attracted admiring glances from the soldiers.

"Let me make a review first," Jiang Changshun continued: "Although we won the first battle this time and won a considerable victory, this battle also revealed that there are many problems in our troops. I also had a big flaw in command, and at the moment when the enemy appeared in front of us, I had lost the coolness that a commander should have. I don't think we would have been able to achieve such a result in this operation if we hadn't had Commander Choi here."

"Let me tell you a few questions," platoon commander Zhang Jianjun stood up and said, "I could have killed a few more enemies, but when I killed the first enemy, I panicked, and my hands and feet trembled disobediently. When he came back to his senses and wanted to fight the second enemy, the regimental commander gave the order to retreat......"

"Me too"

"Platoon Commander Zhang is right, the change is too fast, we can't keep up"

……

One by one, the fighters expressed their opinions, talking about their own shortcomings, and expressing their determination to make amends. I have held many meetings to summarize operations, but this is the first time that I have encountered so many problems like today. And these problems, I didn't even notice when I was busy fighting on the battlefield......

"Captain Cui, can you say a few words" I was thinking, but I didn't expect Jiang Changshun to suddenly point the finger at me.

"Yes, Commander Cui, you can also say a few words" Jiang Changshun said this, and the soldiers also echoed, 'forced' me to stand up.

"Comrades," I cleared my throat and nodded, "this is your first battle, and I'm happy with your performance. Why are you satisfied? Do you know what it was like when I fought my first battle? I was almost so scared that I didn't even dare to shoot a shot."

There was a coax, and the soldiers all burst into laughter.

"I, I don't believe it" Zhang Jianjun grinned, looked at me with suspicion on his face and said: "What is Commander Cui like on the battlefield, the soldiers have seen it all." Dozens of puppet soldiers chased after the regiment commander with guns, but they couldn't be beaten. With the regiment commander's kung fu, can he be so scared that he doesn't dare to fire a shot? ”

"Even we don't believe it," the other fighters were skeptical.

"I really didn't shoot a shot......," I paused for a moment before adding, "I just took a few prisoners with a shovel......

With a coax, the laughter soon spread in the pit again, and even Lin Xue was amused by me and giggled.

"Although this battle was fought well," I laughed for a while, and then I continued: "But just like the soldiers said, there are many problems that have been exposed, and this is the difference between the real battlefield and training and exercises. Bullets, shells, blood, threats of death, etc., all of which can cause you a lot of psychological stress. These pressures will overwhelm you and will make you perform out of order.

I believe in your skills, and I believe that your quality will not be worse than any soldier of the 538th Regiment, but the pressure on the battlefield makes you not perform as well as you should. I believe that after this battle, most comrades will have a feeling that they are very poor, that is, they are not able to shoot accurately, and their movements are not good......"

Speaking of this, I paused deliberately, and saw that the soldiers were indeed nodding their heads to each other.

"So......" I continued, "it's not that you're not good enough, it's not that you're not strong enough to kill the enemy, it's that you lack actual combat experience and the psychological quality to fight the enemy face to face." Therefore, comrades, what you will need to practice in the future is not marksmanship or command, but how to face the enemy and overcome these difficulties on the battlefield.

"Okay" As soon as my words fell, there was a thunderous applause in the tunnel.
