Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now it is a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, it is really difficult for a strong man, but fortunately, it is better to train for a thousand days than to go into battle for a day, and the recruits of the seventh company, after experiencing the pains of the first battle, also slowly began to adapt to the cruel reality.

On 14 November, the 306th Regiment marched bravely and arrived at Qingpu County on time to occupy its position, which is bordered by Minhang in Shanghai, Songjiang, Jinshan, and Jiashan in Zhejiang in the south, Wujiang and Kunshan in Suzhou in the west, and Jiading in the north.

Behind Qingpu is Jiading Anting, Shanghai Nanxiang and other railway stations, once Qingpu is lost, the Shanghai-Nanjing line is under the control of the enemy's artillery fire, which is equivalent to the national army can be cut off from the train road of Shanghai, so Qingpu's strategic position is very important.

But the city wall of Qingpu is not high, and Sangou led a platoon to teach recruits to dig fortifications, and dug up more than one meter of groundwater to come up, which looks similar to Luodian, and is a place where water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are located.

This time is too urgent, if it is ten days or eight days earlier, not only can we do a good job of drainage trenches and shelters, etc., but we can also mobilize the people to dig some tank trenches.

This water town is full of streams and ditches, and when these are deepened and widened, they are natural trenches for anti-tank tanks, and even cars with cannons cannot walk.

It is a pity that the entire country did not have enough combat strength and insufficient rear hand, and was beaten by the Japanese army, and the already tired troops were demolished and the east wall was made up of the west wall.

Like the Three Dogs, their 51st Division, especially their Seventh Company, had just come down from the Flesh Mill Luodian, and before they could rest, they were pulled to Qingpu to resist the assault of one of the most elite divisions of the Japanese army.

A tired division full of wounded soldiers and a battalion full of new recruits had to stop the Japanese army, which had just landed in China, and the people were still full of well-equipped elite troops.

And the time is very urgent, if it is a few days earlier, it can still take advantage of the geographical advantage, but now, the locals have long run out, where to recruit people?

The national army itself has just arrived in a hurry, and it is extremely tired, in order to shed less blood and lose its life in wartime, everyone still spent their lives digging fortifications.

The recruits of the Seventh Company have rarely done these professional jobs before, and they are not fast digging, but fortunately, they are all rural people, and they have the strength to dig the ground, and they are more obedient.

Looking at these recruits who were pouting their butts and working hard to dig pits, Sangou couldn't help but feel sad for a while, thinking about the upcoming Japanese army.

Their fate is already sealed now, and now it is time to dig their own graves, and it is estimated that many people will die in this unrelated land thousands of miles away from their hometowns.

Many of them don't know each other yet, and they don't have time to get to know each other, and behind each of them, there is a family and a long story.

But here, they are just simple symbols, unfamiliar names, and strings of cold numbers.

Many of them, like those comrades-in-arms who died in Luodian, will be buried in Shanghai, a place that has nothing to do with them.

Perhaps, he will die here, and he will escape the thrilling disaster of Luodian, but he may not be able to escape here, alas, I don't want to think so much, anyway, life and death are rich and noble.

In addition to the low city walls, there is no alpine jungle in Qingpu County, and there is almost no danger to defend, the third battalion is on the main frontal position in Qingpu, Lao Hu puts the seventh company in the front, the ninth company is in the rear, and the eighth company is used as a reserve.

In fact, there is nothing to blame, most of the Seventh Company are recruits, who will be the cannon fodder, it is impossible to let the veterans go up as cannon fodder first, the veterans are dead, how can this battle be fought?

Besides, Lao Hu still has a reason that cannot be explained, that is, he is afraid that the recruits will blow up the camp and put it behind, once they are frightened by the Japanese artillery and tanks, they will all run out and cannot be controlled at all.

And there are nine companies pressed behind, similar to the Governor team, if you dare to run, you will kill a few, which can be deterred; Niu Gu also understands this truth, but in his heart, he is still the same as the veterans in the Seventh Company, feeling that he is always treated badly and uncomfortable.

There's no way, during the war years, sooner or later it will be your turn to go into battle, dead or alive, it's all random, maybe it's not so much, let's fight first.

In private, Lao Hu also told Niu Gu that he also asked his superiors to be the deputy battalion commander and the commander of the Seventh Company.

It's just that the superiors considered that Niu Gu had only been the company commander for a few months, and he was promoted too quickly, which would cause the displeasure of the other two company commanders of the Eighth and Ninth Companies, so he was temporarily suppressed, and when the time was almost up, he would be promoted again.

Niu Gu didn't expect so much, in Luodian, the most he thought about was that he could bring a few more brothers alive, and he was already thankful.

As for his career, I really haven't thought about it so much, in this war-torn era, how many brigade commanders and regiment commanders have died on the battlefield.

As a small company commander, he may be sacrificed anytime and anywhere, so it is better to think more about life-saving, more practical, and think more about how to bring a few more brothers to survive as much as possible.

……

The scouts sent by various departments came back in the evening to report that the forward troops of the Japanese army were not far from Qingpu, had already crossed Songjiang, and arrived at the junction of Phoenix Mountain and Sheshan and Qingpu, and it was estimated that they would come back to attack Qingpu County during the day tomorrow.

Do you want to do a night raid at night? The sudden attack caught the Japanese by surprise and wiped out their front. Sangou was "bold and reckless" and suggested to Niu Gu Lao Hu.

Now Sangou is the deputy company commander and can attend the military meeting of the battalion headquarters as an observer, of course, Sangou still knows the discipline of the meeting, and he didn't talk nonsense at the meeting.

Lao Hu listened to Sangou's words, his eyes lit up, he liked this Sangou more and more, he was very appetizing, he always thought he was just a newborn calf, or a scholarly from the academy, and he didn't know how thick the sky was.

Now, after a few months of baptism in the flesh and blood shop, I feel more and more that this three dogs are not simple, they have grown up very quickly, and their combat ideas are becoming more and more mature.

Given time, as long as this three dogs are hard enough, they are definitely a general, of course, these joyful feelings, Lao Hu rarely shows them, young people, can not be overly praised, to experience more tempering, in order to continue to grow.

Lao Hu also thought that Niu Gu not only had an appetite for himself, but also a fellow countryman, even if he was not particularly outstanding in commanding the war, he would not be far behind, he was mainly loyal to him, his personal charm was strong, and he could control the entire Seventh Company.

Niu Gu is the head of the backbone of the cadres of the Seventh Company, and when he was a porter before joining the army, he became a group of people, and he is also the life-saving benefactor of Sangou, and the relationship is not trivial.

Therefore, now the Seventh Company is still dominated by Niu Gu, and if Sangou develops well in the future, he can form another company for him, but not yet.

Therefore, Lao Hu said to the three dogs and the bulls: "Niugu, look at them, these three dogs look like dogs, they are obviously a little tiger, at least a cunning and fierce mountain dog." ”

Niu Gu and Sangou smiled, waiting for the old nonsense to get down to business, agreeing or disagreeing.

"That's it, Sangou's suggestion is very good, I'll leave it to Qilian to complete, you two will discuss it yourself, and ask me for whatever you need. I also hurriedly told the regiment headquarters, the regiment headquarters agreed, let's do it, if we don't agree, let's do it too, dog, what happened, go and take it, you just have to let it go. ”

Niu Gu and Sangou were very happy, and it was not that Sangou had overstepped his level and suggested to Lao Hu, but that the two had met before to discuss this matter.

Niu Gu also felt that there were many recruits, and the newly formed Seventh Company needed to take the initiative to attack, even if it was a small victory, it could build the confidence of the recruits.

It also allows them to see the cruelty and bloodshed of the battlefield, so that they can be psychologically prepared, and there is a big difference between active and passive acceptance.

Just like the good luck of Sangou, as soon as he entered the army, he encountered a successful night attack, which not only built confidence by winning the battle, but also killed people with his own hands, and saw the cruel and bloody real battlefield taste.

Therefore, after seeing Lao Hu's agreement, the two of them were on the way back to the company, and while walking, they discussed how to make a pot of devils.
