Chapter 4 Desertion

"San!"

More than a hundred fighters rushed to the top of the hill with state rifles with bayonets in their hands. In the cold night, the shouts of the warriors from the bottom of their hearts were breathtaking, and the bayonets were particularly dazzling in the light of the moon and snow.

However, the steep slopes and the half-melted snow put a lot of resistance to the soldiers' charge, and many of them slipped and fell during the charge, and then blocked the few fighters who followed behind.

A couple of mortars with assists soon went small! A few shells were fired at the top, and one by one the shells exploded on the top of the hill, but they didn't seem to hit anyone, and we didn't even know where the enemy's trenches were.

One hundred meters,

I nervously raised the sniper rifle in my hand and looked at the top of the mountain, but there was still no movement in the enemy's position, no gunfire, no cannonball, not even a little cigarette butt fire, it was dark and terrifyingly quiet, it seemed that there was a man-eating demon squatting on the top of the mountain, waiting to harvest the lives of the volunteer soldiers.

Eighty meters!

Although the slopes of the mountains are steep and muddy, the soldiers all grew up in the countryside, and they have never stopped like this. The speed of the impact was not slow, and the distance of twenty meters passed in the blink of an eye, but there was still no movement on the top of the mountain.

Sixty meters!

Even though the air around is still cold. But I felt my palms sweating, and I might not have been so nervous if I had rushed into battle, but now I was watching the soldiers charge at an unknown and powerful enemy, and the feeling was completely different.

Forty meters!

At this time, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, the attack developed more smoothly than expected, and now it has reached the distance where the soldiers throw grenades, and generally at this distance, the volunteers only need to throw rows of grenades, and then use the grenades to blow up the enemy before they can react, and the battle can be over.

But is the Gloucester battalion so easy to fight? I couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, just as I thought, with the sound of a small horn, more than a dozen soldiers running in the front row invariably took out their grenades,

But at this moment, the gunshots rang out, and dozens of tongues of fire suddenly erupted from the top of the mountain, and the sound of bursting beans overwhelmed the shouts of the soldiers. Machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns roared on the top of the hill, and bullets rained down on the soldiers, and the soldiers in the front row were shot to the ground one after another before they could hurriedly throw their grenades, and then the rolling grenades exploded among the soldiers, setting off a bloody storm again.

But no one in the back of the fighters stopped, they seemed to be fearless of the scene in front of them, still desperate to rush up, if the rush is fast, the distance of more than 40 meters will not take a minute to rush up, the soldiers are not willing to give up, once they rush to the high ground, the soldiers can fight with the enemy bayonets, fight courage, they just want to see red with bayonets. But even this distance of more than 40 meters is like a made of bullets, blocking the progress of the soldiers.

Flares fell in rows. Illuminated the advancing figures of the warriors.

Some fighters raised their state rifles and 'shot' at the top of the hill, but before they could fire two bullets, they fell in pools of blood. The Heavy also set up a machine gun cover, but the return fire was not effective due to the angle, and the Heavy was always shot to the ground before he could fire a few rounds.

One by one, the enemy's bullets mercilessly took the lives of the soldiers, and the soldiers rolled down like a stake, and rolled down,

The fighters were so crushed by the bullets that they couldn't lift their heads. But it didn't seem to make a difference even if I was lying on my stomach, and the bullets flew towards the fighters as if they had eyes, and even the mortar men who were not far from me were not immune.

I could clearly see the fire coming from the muzzle of the enemy's gun in the scope, and I tried to pull the trigger several times to shoot at the fire, but in the end I gave up with a helpless sigh. The angle of inclination is too great, and even if I can accurately judge the enemy's position by relying on the fire from the muzzle of the gun, there is no other possibility for this shot to hit the dirt under the enemy and *** my own position.

After a while the fighters retreated. But the enemy's bullets and grenades have been following behind the soldiers, and then I know what it is to be killed and wounded in less than half an hour, but this charge, the company led by Chen Liang has sacrificed more than 40 soldiers, and the others are more or less wounded,"

In a few minutes, only a few minutes from the launch of the attack to the retreat of the fighters, the gunfire stopped, and the shouts of killing also stopped. All that was left on the battlefield was pools of scarlet 'blood' and corpses.

Watching this scene, my heart gradually sank, the enemy's geographical advantage was too obvious, coupled with their 'fine' marksmanship, unless they hit until they ran out of bullets, it would only increase the number of casualties.

I couldn't help but grit my teeth when I thought of this. Carrying the cat's waist, he ran towards the camp headquarters.

I returned to the battalion headquarters and found Xu Feng, but before I had time to report the situation to him, I found that his face was a little wrong, and the muddy water on his body seemed to have just returned from the battlefield, and he must have gone to observe the development of the battle situation like me.

"Camp Commander Xu. Knowing that he also went to observe, I didn't report anything, and said bluntly: "If we continue like this, we won't be able to complete the task even if we all the soldiers in the battalion are exhausted, should we think of a way?" ”

"Do you have a solution?" Xu Feng asked coldly.

I shook my head wordlessly.

Xu Feng glanced at the sniper rifle in my hand: "Can you hit them?" ”

I could only shake my head.

"You can't help it, you can't beat them, so how can you fight them?" Xu Feng was a little frustrated in his tone, I had never seen him so deflated after knowing him for so long, but I also knew that he was not afraid, but watching the soldiers suffer such a big casualty."

"Summoning the company commanders to report the situation!" Lin Zhenglong, who was looking at the map, also seemed to sense the seriousness of the situation and gave orders to the guards.

"Yes!" The guard answered and quickly ran out.

However, after a while, the four company commanders of Zhao Yongxin, Huzi, Wu Zhong and Chen Liang all arrived, among which Zhao Yongxin, Huzi and Chen Liang, the three company commanders in charge of the main attack, were covered in muddy water and serum, and under the butterfly oil light, they couldn't tell which ones were yellow mud and which ones were blood.

"What's the difficulty?. Lin Zhenglong didn't say much, and asked directly: "If you have any difficulties, why can't you take them?" ”

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, if Xu Feng and I had gone to the battlefield to see that scene with our own eyes, I wouldn't have asked like the instructor: "Why can't you take it?" "It's no wonder that the soldiers can't take this high ground, it's obviously to use the body to block the bullet.

But the three company commanders in charge of the main attack still bowed their heads in shame, like children who had done something wrong were waiting to be criticized.

I looked a little unbearable, so I replied on my behalf: "The snow melts the muddy roads and affects the speed of the soldiers' attacks; The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, and it is impossible to implement effective fire suppression on the enemy, and as soon as the enemy's flares are beaten, we will be under their guns; The most important thing is that the enemy's marksmanship is too accurate, one or two enemies are good with marksmanship, but if the enemy's marksmanship is all accurate, it will be terrible! ”

"Our army is not skilled enough in the use of Soviet-style equipment!" Xu Feng added on the side: "The turntable gun is heavy in front and light in the back, and it can't be grabbed on the side like the Czech style, and Guo Liunov has two wheels underneath, and it will roll down on the hillside, and it may not be able to head on uneven ground." However, the main reason is what Deputy Battalion Commander Cui said that the quality of the enemy is very good, and it may be the most difficult enemy we have ever encountered

After listening to Xu Feng's words and me, Lin Zhenglong also seemed to understand the embarrassing situation of our army; I couldn't help but gasp, frowned, and stopped talking.

"Battalion commander! Let's go up and fight again." Huzi clenched his fists and shouted: "I don't believe that I can't rush up, I can't rush up again, I, I won't come back."

"What can you do if you don't come back?" Xu Feng couldn't help scolding: "Even if the soldiers of the whole battalion don't come back, can they complete the task?" ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be silent, and suddenly there was an explosion of a grenade outside, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned, grabbed their guns and ran out.

After a while, two soldiers hurriedly ran over, and reported to Chen Liang in a choked voice: "It's Platoon Commander Zhang, he was shot in the 'chest', and there was no 'medicine' for him

Chen Liang couldn't help but be shocked, and it took a long time before he slowly spit out a few words: "Put away the weapons and hand-cranked bullets in the hands of the wounded soldiers!" ”

"Yes!" The two warriors answered and ran back.

"Alas!" After walking into the air-raid 'hole' again, Lin Zhenglong couldn't help but sigh: "The shortage of 'medicine' is also a big difficulty for us!" ”

"If it was daytime, this battle might have been easier!" At this time, Zhao Yongxin put forward an idea: "We are all several times more than them!" This high ground is not high, our machine guns and mortars can hit the top of the mountain without going up, even if they can't hit people, at least they can play a role in fire suppression! It's dark and we can't see that it's all 'messy', and the devil is not afraid at all,"

"What are you going to do when the Yankees' plane comes that day?" Zhao Yongxin's words were not finished. Huzi interrupted impatiently: "When the time comes, there will be flying in the sky and exploding on the ground, so it will be easy to fight."

"Company Commander Zhao said that he was stunned, which makes sense!" I nodded in agreement: "Fighting such a tough battle, the night will not be of any benefit to us, because the enemy's flare is no different for us than charging during the day." But the enemy can hide in the shadows and 'shoot' attacks, so the night battle is not good for us, but in the daytime this Yankee plane still can't deal with it! ”

"We had a while before dawn." Lin Zhenglong thought about it and replied: "The Yankees' plane didn't come so quickly, but,"

"It's just that this time is too short!" Xu Feng frowned and added: "Once the enemy plane comes during the attack, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Everyone knows what Xu Feng meant by this, the volunteer army has no air defense capability at all, and if the Yankees' plane comes during the attack, they just drop two incendiary bombs.

"I thought I could give it a try." I nodded and said, "Our volunteers have always only fought night battles, so the enemy will inevitably relax their vigilance at dawn, and our attack will have unexpected results."

The enemy fought fiercely all night. The next day, the combat effectiveness will inevitably decrease, not to mention that we can still lurk a group of people to the front of their positions in advance and hit them by surprise! ”

"Lurking?" Xu Feng couldn't help but shake his head: "With the quality of the British army, it is very difficult to sneak to the front of their position without being discovered."

I gritted my teeth, and finally relented, "I can't climb up, but we can run up."

"Run?" Everyone couldn't help but be puzzled, and said, "No." I don't understand what I mean by running up.

In the col, the soldiers are making the final preparations for battle, and this time I will also go up, not to capture the mountain, but to provide cover for the lurking warriors.

Wu Zhong's company had not yet participated in the battle, so it became the main force of this hidden mission, and his company was divided into three platoons and assigned to the troops in all directions, all they had to do was to follow the troops and rush forward. Then wait for the enemy's gunfire to sound and pretend to be dead and lurk in the pile of dead, and wait until dawn to cooperate with the main force to capture the high ground in one fell swoop.

That's what I mean by running up.

I'm one. This was not considered a very clever solution, as it came at the expense of the lives of the soldiers. But as soon as I said the idea, the fighters agreed in unison. According to them. If there is no immortal in war, and if you can complete the task with the least cost and the least sacrifice of soldiers, then this method is a good method.

It seems right to think about it. If the cards are still played according to common sense, then the fighters will definitely have more casualties, and even after these greater casualties, they will not be able to complete the mission"

So a team of undercover troops was quickly organized, each of them carrying a ***sha submachine gun and five grenades. Submachine guns and grenades, melee gold is not exchanged. Their task was to cover the large forces with fire, not to go up and fight them with bayonets. After all, the opponent was a British soldier with extremely accurate marksmanship, and even if it was only forty or fifty meters away, the soldiers would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to rush up and fight with bayonets. So now the volunteers might as well learn the tactics of the U.S. army, using submachine guns and grenades to suppress the opponent's firepower at close range!

As a sharpshooter, I'm also "honored" to be part of the undercover force, and my only concern right now is that. It's just that before it can lurk, it becomes a corpse.

"Battalion Commander Cui" At this time, Chen Liang walked to my side: "You help me command first, I'll go and see ***, and I'll be back soon!"

"Cheng, come back quickly!" Without thinking about it, I agreed, grabbed my sniper rifle and did one last check, and filled my magazine with bullets.

But waiting left and right just didn't see Chen Liang come back, and it wasn't right to think about it. Chen Liang's company is equipped with American-style equipment, and all the *** is carried by himself. Where else is he going to see ***?

At this time, Xu Feng walked over with a 'pale' face and beckoned to me: "Do you know that the company commander under your command is going to leave the battlefield?" ”

"He" couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "He said he was going to see ***, how do I know,

"What to see***!" Xu Feng snorted: "Mom, he's a 'forced', he wants to escape."

! ”

As he was talking, he saw Chen Liang being escorted back by the guards with a disgraced face, and the soldiers felt that something was wrong, and they looked over with their eyes in unison, as if they understood something.

Xu Feng looked at the soldiers, and then at Chen Liang, his right hand pressed the pistol hanging on his waist, and his eyes were 'yin' and 'yin' cold.

In the company, Ren Fengyou had the best relationship with Chen Liang, and at this time, he couldn't help but run up and ask Chen Zhendao, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Chen Liang just lowered his head and didn't speak, Ren Fengyou finally believed this fact at this time, smiled bitterly, and suddenly punched Chen Liang to the ground: "Be a deserter, be a deserter!" Are you worthy of your dead comrades! Deputy Battalion Commander Cui thinks so highly of you and lets you be the company commander, are you worthy of him! ”

"Am I afraid of death? Am I cowardly? Chen Liang seemed to be out of the way, and got up from the ground and shouted: "I have also fought the Kuomintang, and I have also fought with Ma Jiajun, why haven't I seen it on the battlefield?" But it was blown up by Platoon Commander Zhang's grenade! ”

"What kind of bird is the platoon leader?" Ren Feng was even more angry when he heard it. With a red face and a thick neck, he shouted: "People are combat heroes, and they die gloriously!" Like you coward! ”

"I'm not afraid to die on the battlefield! What if it hurts? Chen Liang also pushed back without showing weakness: "If you break your hands and feet?" There is no 'medicine' for all of this, is it all going to die of pain? Or do you pull a grenade like Platoon Commander Zhang? ”

As soon as Chen Liang said this, the soldiers all fell silent, there was no medical equipment, and there was a lack of 'medicine', which was also a very severe test for the soldiers. Needless to say, even if you have a minor injury, your life will be in danger because you don't have medical treatment.

So the fighters prefer to die on the battlefield than to be wounded.

Chen Liang 'licked' his mouth and lips. Hit the hat on the ground hard: "Mother." Isn't it just a death! Battalion commander, don't kill me, just let me go up and fight the devil! ”

"Battalion commander!"

"Battalion commander!"

The soldiers turned their eyes to Xu Feng, their eyes full of begging.

"Leave him behind!" I walked up to Xu Feng, sighed and said, "If he escapes again, you will be the first to kill me!" ”

"And me!"

"And me!"

The soldiers all stood up one by one to vouch for Chen Liang, Chen Liang couldn't hold back any longer, squatted on the ground and rolled down with tears in his eyes,
