When the first rays of sunlight in the morning came down from the gaps in the clouds in the east and sprinkled on the broken branches and leaves of the hill in front of the position, Li Lu, who was sitting in front of the trench and smoking with the soldiers, reaped the last good news of the offensive and defensive battle of the 256th heights.

The reconnaissance team led by Gong Linghui successfully carried out a sneak attack on the self-propelled artillery unit of the enemy's 315A Division and captured three intact self-propelled guns.

At this time, Li Lu was waiting for Gong Linghui and others to return, and Zhao Rongjun had been ordered to lead three Asian Tiger tanks to respond.

The members of the battlefield research team also came out of the cave at the rear of the position and came to the main position that had returned to quiet. They have already begun to overhaul battle-damaged Asian Tiger tanks and ask about the actual operation of the tank crew. That's when they really start their work.

Mai Guanghua and a few cadres were busy counting the battle losses and the killing of the enemy. He was in high spirits, he had been commanding from the main position, well blocking the enemy's attack, and strongly supporting the left flank and sub-positions that were under the greatest defensive pressure.

After more than an hour of busyness, Mai Guanghua got the final statistics in his hand.

Li Lu has been looking at the sky on the eastern hills, the clouds slowly dispersed, and the morning sun was able to reveal its true face, red and white, which indicated the arrival of a new day.

"Chief!"

Mai Guanghua ran over excitedly, stood still in front of Li Lu, took a breath, and said, "Chief, the statistical results are out." ”

"How's the casualty?" Li Lu's first sentence asked about his own casualties.

Mai Guanghua was very excited, he said, "Chief, our casualties are very small, it can almost be said that ...... Anyway, it's good I've never seen before. ”

"Don't sell it, say it quickly." Li Lu pointed at him and took a puff on his cigarette.

Li Lu didn't care about the loss of equipment, he only cared about the casualties of his own soldiers.

Mai Guanghua smiled and said, "In the battle just past, let's ...... No one died! ”

Li Lu stood up suddenly!

The soldiers around him also stood up in surprise and looked at each other.

Yes, it has been two or three hours since the end of the battle, but there has been no news of any comrades being killed. Everyone has never been aware of this, and when it was suddenly mentioned, they suddenly woke up - in the battle just past, there were no casualties!

"You, you go and count the number of people again." Li Lu was shocked, he pointed at Mai Guanghua and said.

Mai Guanghua said, "Chief, I know you are very surprised, in fact, I am also very surprised, just now I counted three times, plus one of your squads, our people, there is no less, but there are a few seriously injured, but the medical team said that there will be no danger to life." Chief, we're not dead, it's true, it's true! ”

"No casualties......"

Li Lu muttered to himself, and his eyes gradually became a little crystalline. I am afraid that there is nothing more gratifying and touching to him than this news.

Coming home alive.

All can go home alive.

"What about the record? How many enemies have been killed? Li Lu asked urgently.

Mai Guanghua took a deep breath and slowly reported a set of figures in a deep voice, "637 enemies were killed, 18 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and 475 small arms were captured...... Chief, this is only the record of the battle just now, and it does not add to the previous record we have achieved. ”

Li Lu closed his eyes slightly, raised his head slightly to face the rising sun, and breathed deeply, the smell of gunpowder still remained in the air, and the smell of the sun was in front of him.

He slowly spit out a sentence, "Forward point to report, 256 Heights Offensive and Defensive Battle, our army, great victory!" ”

In total, nearly 1,000 enemies were killed and wounded, more than 30 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed and captured, and countless light weapons and ammunition were captured.

Such a set of data, no matter how you look at it in any battle, is a beautiful battle that can be called a great victory!

At this time, Li Lu had the confidence to report directly to the forward, 256 Highland Victory!

Mak Guanghua rushed over to report.

On that side, Zhang Pingshan led a company of armored infantry to drive over. Li Lu saw Zhang Pingshan's car, which showed one thing - the large army had completed the encirclement and annihilation work. This means that the offensive and defensive battle of the 256 heights is also over.

Li Lu stood there, watching Zhang Pingshan jump off the tank and stride over, until he walked in front of Li Lu, Zhang Pingshan stared at Li Lu and looked at it seriously for a long time.

"Your retirement is a big loss for the troops." Zhang Pingshan said.

Li Lu said with a smile, "I just sent a battle summary report to the front point, company commander, our 256 fought quite well, destroying about 1,000 people, tanks, armored vehicles, light weapons and equipment, etc. ”

Zhang Pingshan shook his head and said, "Xiao Li, even if you don't kill an enemy on your side, as long as you hold the 256 heights, you will be the first to do it in this combat operation." ”

He slowed down and said, "The main force has completed the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy's 314th Division, and the entire infantry division has been eaten by us!" ”

Li Lu was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply, and said with emotion, "The 314th Division is the oldest and strongest combat force of the enemy, the 315th Marine Division is divided from this unit, and the 315A Division is also separated from this unit. ”

"Yes, the original battle plan was only a 314th Division, and our goal has always been to annihilate this ace force that the enemy army has been entrenched in the area for a long time. Now not only the 314th Division, but also the 315th and 315A Divisions have suffered heavy losses, of which the enemy's 315th Marine Division has only run back one regiment, and the rest have all been annihilated by our troops. Twice as many as the target! ”

Zhang Pingshan stared at Li Lu and said, "The defense of the 256 Heights is the key to achieving all these results, and it will attract most of the troops of my 338 Heights. The first merit of the 256 heights cannot be run. Xiao Li, let me ask you, are you willing to return to the army? I applied to my superiors! ”

Li Lu shook his head slightly and said, "Company commander, the situation was urgent, and in order to justifiably take over the command of the battlefield, I could only give myself the title of military adviser of the tank regiment." In the final analysis, I am not an active soldier, and how much credit I have is for the brothers of the tank regiment and all the officers and soldiers of the 256 highland position. ”

"It's not important, it's your credit, and no one can take it away." Zhang Pingshan said categorically, "I'm asking you now, are you willing to return to the army?" ”

Li Lu still shook his head, "Company commander, I have more important things to do." ”

"What's more important than going to war?" Zhang Pingshan stared at Li Lu and asked.

Naturally, he couldn't understand Li Lu's thoughts, and regardless of the past, it was just Li Lu's current credit, if he wanted to return to the army, it would be a matter of minutes, and the army needed such experienced military cadres very much. From the point of view of personal development, becoming a cadre of the army, especially a military cadre with very promising development prospects, is something that many people dream of.

Li Lu's refusal is naturally incomprehensible.

Looking at the battlefield research team and others who were overhauling the Asian Tiger tank over there, Li Lu said in a deep voice, "Company commander, after this battle, I have thought a lot. The enemy army has the support of a certain powerful country, and new equipment is constantly joining the active service. Large-caliber long-range artillery, self-propelled guns, individual anti-tank rocket launchers, new automatic rifles, these are the current masteries. ”

"I'm thinking about what the war is about. I can't explain the profound truth, but what I see is a competition of technical equipment. Company commander, you know, I am the deputy chief of the security section of the Guangming Factory, and in addition, I have also set up a tractor factory myself, aiming at the research and development of ground equipment. Despite the fact that now there is no foundation, I have decided to follow this path of military-industrial development. I hope that our soldiers will be better equipped to achieve victory with fewer casualties. ”

Li Lu looked at Zhang Pingshan and said with a smile, "Company commander, the victory of the 256 Heights is not only a tactical success, but also an advantage in equipment, and the performance of the Asian Tiger tank is very good." I want to continue down this road, have a good walk, and get some new equipment. ”

Zhang Pingshan asked slowly, "Do you really think so?" Your talents should be displayed in the army. ”

"Company commander, I've already decided." Li Ludao.

Zhang Pingshan didn't doubt it, he felt Li Lu's firmness, sighed, and said, "It's a pity, you are a good seedling, how were those people blind at the beginning, alas, ......"

As he spoke, there was a rumbling sound from the mountain road over there, and from a distance, I saw that the Asian Tiger tank led by Zhao Rongjun successfully picked up Gong Linghui's commando, and there were still a few self-propelled guns that had captured the enemy.

Li Lu fixed his eyes on the self-propelled gun, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly......

Electricity: I've been crazy these days, and I will make up for the updates I owe, so forgive me, brothers. Tomorrow is the first day of 2018, a new year, a new atmosphere, I hope I can write more and update more, I hope that the brothers are healthy, happy and happy, get up with a smile every day, and fall asleep with a smile every night!
