Chapter 46: Xu Bao's Death I (Climax)
(Addendum: In the previous chapter, it was stated that the entire Red Army passed the flawed statement, and in fact the 1st Division and the cadres and regiments of the 1st Red Army Corps had all crossed the Dadu River, and it is hereby affirmed.) )
"Seventeen warriors forcibly crossed the Dadu River, doesn't this mean us!" The stone grinned, this great honor made him excited and couldn't help himself.
The recruit's "second brother", whose real name is Xu Shan, is older than Han Xin and others, in his 20s, and asked suspiciously: "Aren't there eighteen people in our strange army team plus instructors?" How could it be seventeen warriors, it should be eighteen warriors! ”
"yes!" Everyone reacted, Han Xin smiled, and before he could speak, the wisest old Wushi Zhong among the eight stones stood up, "I know this, our instructor has been praised alone."
The original words seem to be: the captain of the strange soldiers commanded God, the seventeen warriors crossed the river by force, the turbulent waves and the angry river could not be stopped, and the enemy pillboxes were helpless......
Let me tell you, it is said that the comrades of our art troupe have already made it into a drama, and it will start soon! ”
"So, what! I'm going to be famous too", the stone straightened up extremely funny, then turned his head to look at the sheep baby, and pretended to be serious: "Come on, comrade sheep baby, come and express your admiration for this warrior!" ”
"you", the sheep baby had a soft temperament and smiled bitterly, and Tie Niu couldn't look at it and glared at the stone with a smile.
Seeing that everyone's mood was happy and the frolicking was over, Han Xin turned to the topic again: "Cadets, as I said before, the battle is far from over. ”
"The current situation of our troops is that there are too few boats, but there are too many people crossing the river, and according to the tens of thousands of horses and horses of our army, it will take about a month to ferry all of them across the river.
However, the enemy will not give us this time, the 53rd Division of the Commander of the Nationalist Army Xue Yue has already arrived in Lizhou, north of Xichang, and the troops of Liu Yuanzhang, commander of the Sichuan-Kang Frontier Army of the 24th Army, are already pursuing Hugu and Mianning, and they are only a few days away from us.
In addition, the 20th Army under Yang Sen's command is already approaching us, and if this continues, our army will be divided on both sides of the Dadu River, and the situation will be very bad. ”
"Therefore, the regiment commander has received an order, and the third regiment will be the vanguard to attack the Luding Bridge 320 miles away, paving the way for the subordinates of Commander Lin Biao and Comrades Chen Geng and Song Renqiang who are about to pass through the Luding Bridge."
"Instructor, just give the order!" Knowing that the situation was urgent, the members of the Strange Soldiers team did not say anything more, and directly asked Han Xin to give an order.
"Okay", Han Xin looked around, all of them were young and energetic faces, only the squad leader Xu Bao's somewhat old face looked out of place in this group of young people.
Han Xin's nose was slightly sour, he looked at Xu Bao, and no longer regarded himself as an instructor, and said: "Squad leader, Luding Bridge is far away from here, more than 300 miles, you ...... Or stay here and ...... with the regimental commander."
"Don't worry! I'm fine", Xu Bao's always kind smile reappeared, patting his chest, "Don't underestimate me, although the squad leader is older than you, but his health is very good, besides, you are all young, there must be an old man with you." ”
"That'...... All right! Seeing Xu Bao's resolute attitude, Han Xin didn't say much, and immediately ordered: "320 miles, that is, 160 kilometers, the above ordered our regiment to arrive within three days, and it will be more than 50 kilometers a day, and our odd army must rush to Luding Bridge before the large army of our regiment, investigate the situation, and formulate a strategy, how about it?" Is there confidence? ”
The distance of 320 miles is really not close, everyone is beating drums in their hearts, no one responds for a while, Han Xin smiled, showed a gloomy smile and said, "What? Scared? Cowardly? Let me tell you that you are a Wonder Troop, and long-distance marching will be a compulsory course for you, and it will also be one of the things I will focus on honing you in the future.
If you back down in this way, then you can get out of the team of the Wonder Soldiers, and there is no impossible word in the dictionary of the cadets of the Wonder Soldiers...... Ask you again, tell me, do you have faith? ”
"Yes"
"Yes"
The red-faced people who were counted by Han Xin roared, and they were angry one by one, "Isn't it 320 miles!" I'm afraid of him! ”
Looking at the figure that everyone began to trot in excitement, Han Xin smiled, what he wanted, this is the effect.
"Hurry up"
"You're not a cow! Why is it so cowardly? ”
"Forget it, I think you kid still left our strange team, what kind of physical strength is this, this is ......"
"Stone, on weekdays, you kid shouts the most happy, why do you run and bear on the road? Hold on, speed up, look at Lao Tzu, don't even breathe for the atmosphere. ”
"Shi Xiao, you're not the fucking boss of Eight Stones! Why did you become an old aunt? Run like a snail, no, snails climb faster than you, fast, keep up. ”
"Who? Prepare the backpack for me, don't take it off, you can't carry this weight, you're an old lady! ”
Han Xin really played the duties of an instructor to the fullest on the way to Luding Bridge, and his poisonous tongue never stopped, scolding this and that.
Only the veteran Xu Bao, everyone had to obey, sure enough, as people said, although he was older and his physical strength was slightly weaker than that of young people, but the amazing willpower and endurance were shocking.
From beginning to end, under Han Xin's devilish training of "sleeping four hours a day, resting for ten minutes at a time, and running long distances with submachine guns, grenades, and broadswords on his back, day and night", Xu Bao did not fall behind half a point.
Even though his legs were trembling and his clothes were soaked with sweat, the resolute figure kept moving forward, some of the old backs, towering like a high mountain.
Except for Han Xin, who is also strong-willed, everyone else is sighing to themselves, and Han Xin is also very emotional, these great revolutionary soldiers born in the flames of war really have a will like steel, fearless and eternal spirit.
The soldiers of the Odd Soldier team marched with tears in their eyes, and it was also Han Xin's training for everyone, looking at this young, but serious but terrifyingly scary instructor, everyone was respectful, loving and complaining.
But I have to say that two days passed, climbing cliffs, walking cliffs, and crossing rivers...... After hundreds of miles of heaviness, everyone's impetuousness was washed away, and the perseverance of the team members was honed like steel.
During this period, they also experienced many battles, which made the soldiers of the Odd Soldiers even more clean, and they all showed a high-spirited and invincible spirit.
Bodhisattva Gang, a treacherous high mountain, is the only place to pass through from the west bank of the Dadu River to the Luding Bridge, the altitude is more than 2,000 meters, the dense fog on the top of the mountain is charming, and the cold air hits people.
Legend has it that a long time ago, people who traveled from here to the mountains were afraid of misfortune and asked the mountain god to bless them, so they built a small temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva on the top of the mountain, hence the name.
The right side of the mountain is close to the Tianwan River, there is no way to bypass, the left side is followed by another high mountain, there is only a steep pass like a ladder that goes straight to the sky, like a stone wall, lying across the road to the Luding Bridge, there is really a trend of "one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".
The enemy's 24th Army sent a company of 100 men to defend here, and built several pillboxes and some skirmish trenches on the pass to prevent the Red Army from advancing towards the Luding Bridge.
In this battle, the soldiers of the Odd Soldier Team finally divided into two ways with the help of the local villagers, attacking each other in the virtual and real, and the enemy was crushed under the surprise attack, and most of them were wiped out by everyone relying on various terrains.
One squad managed to crush a company of the enemy.
Menghugang is the last high mountain to enter Luding County, there is an enemy guard on the top of the mountain, and the strange army takes advantage of the heavy fog on the mountain, under the surprise attack, the enemy army is defeated.
Subsequently, the Strange Soldiers disguised themselves as a contingent of Nationalist troops, and when they met the Nationalist troops stationed at the bridgehead on the west side of the Luding Bridge, they launched another surprise attack, and took control of the west side of the bridge at dawn.
Traveling 320 miles wildly, fighting several times in size, the sharp edges of the soldiers of the Odd Soldiers were all revealed, which fully embodied the word "strange", which made the enemy frightened, unable to sleep at night, and unable to eat.
Li Quanshan, the commander of the 38th Regiment of the enemy army, who was responsible for guarding the Luding Bridge, learned that the Odd Soldiers had captured the west of the Luding Bridge, and was so angry that he transferred the vanguard and was about to launch an attack, but was repelled by the soldiers of the Odd Corps with the help of the dangerous terrain of the Luding Bridge.
And just when Li Quanshan gathered his forces and prepared to recapture the west of Luding Bridge in one fell swoop, he was cleared by the strange soldiers, and Lin Dashan, who was unimpeded all the way, also rushed with the soldiers of the three regiments, Li Quanshan had to give up the plan, stay at the Luding Bridge, and confront each other with the three regiments.
And the existence of this "strange team" was also taken seriously by the commander of the national army for the first time, and was collected by the intelligence officers of the national army in front of the head of the regiment commander Li Quanshan.
"The odd team, the members are no more than twenty, equipped with weapons: submachine guns, grenades, broadswords, captain Han Xin, about twenty years old, has a high attainment in command."
The information is not detailed, but it makes Li Quanshan frown, "This strange team is simply a buzzing fly, which makes people impatient......"
(To be continued, a little sigh: I took a test just now, so the update was late, and I didn't study the retake exam after changing majors, and when the teacher taught, I gave a direct lecture to those students who had studied once, and we didn't understand it at all.)
Therefore, the first time I entered the examination room with a cheat sheet, my little heart was pounding, and the teacher stared at it very tightly, but I didn't dare to copy it...... Embarrassed!
Warning everyone: We must lay a solid foundation for learning, and we must not cram...... Woooooooooo
