This half hour in the woods on the east bank of the Nu River was definitely the longest half hour of my life, and at one point I thought that time had stood still, and I kept looking at my watch to prove that time was still running.

The hiccups around me were all the same as me, staring at the forest with wide eyes, staring at the swarthy Nu River, as if a group of Japanese soldiers with teeth and claws would jump out of the Nu River at any moment and pounce on us.

Ani crouched beside me, holding her sniper rifle, her body in a run-up position about to rush out, looking solemn and funny.

I smiled and patted Ani on the shoulder and said, "Relax, Ani." Even when it's time, we're just crossing the river, don't make ourselves so nervous. ”

Ani didn't admit that she was nervous, and said, "I'm not nervous, I'm just a little tired of waiting." ”

Then she turned her head and looked around behind her, I knew who she was looking for, she was looking for Tan Weimin. Now Tan Weimin is the deputy of the third company, and the third company is still far away from us, and Tan Weimin is not in Ani's line of sight.

I whispered, "It's annoying to see it, but it's still thinking if you can't see it, isn't it?" ”

Ani involuntarily agreed, and said, "Hmm." ”

Then she reacted and said justifiably: "Brother An, what are you talking about? I'm not like you say. He was always following me, and suddenly I couldn't see him, and I really didn't feel used to it. ”

Bump Bump!

On the Japanese position on the opposite bank, the sound of the 92 heavy machine gun suddenly sounded, and in the dark night, the bullet crossed the Nu River with a white line and shot at the position of Jianlong Bay.

Ani said nervously: "Not good! We've been discovered by devils! ”

I motioned for her to hold steady and said, "With such weather and night cover, it is impossible for the Japanese army to find us." ”

Ani looked at the direction of the Japanese troops on the opposite shore to shoot at the Jianlongwan position, and sure enough, no bullets were fired at us. Ani said suspiciously: "What kind of madness is that devil?" ”

I said, "It's a blind shot." ”

It has been a long time since the Japanese have carried out such aimless blind shooting, and it seems that they already know that there is an attack on the east coast, but they just don't know the exact time of our attack, but this alert level has been significantly higher than before.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

The sporadic gunfire of the Type 38 rifle was followed by a single or two shots from time to time after the heavy machine gun fired. The Japanese rifle fire was not like heavy machine guns at our position, they simply fired everywhere they wanted.

Bang! A bullet landed on a rock near the edge of the forest, and the bullet was bounced off by the hard stone, and it was fired impartially into the thigh of a mound that had protruded forward.

A platoon commander ran over and said, "Battalion commander, someone in my platoon is wounded!" ”

I patted an ambulance soldier next to me and said, "Ambulance, go and see!" Minor injuries are bandaged and healed on the spot! ”

The platoon commander explained: "It was a ricochet that injured someone, he was too far ahead, otherwise he would not have been hit by a ricochet." ”

"This unlucky bastard, really unlucky, can be shot by a ricochet."

The Qiu Ba were talking nonsense.

After a while, the herald ran back and said, "Battalion commander, the wounded soldier's bullet has entered his thigh, he can't cross the river, and he needs immediate surgery." ”

I waved my hand and said, "You can simply bandage him first, and then find a few people to send this wounded soldier to the field hospital." ”

The ambulance soldier said, "Yes." ”

Several soldiers found a stretcher, carried the unlucky guy onto the stretcher, and took him to the field hospital in the rear. When passing by me, the wounded soldier was a squad leader, and he struggled and said: "Battalion commander, I'm fine, let the ambulance soldiers dig out the bullets, I can still go to the battlefield to fight devils!" ”

I glanced at his wounds, blood through the bandages, and said, "When you heal your wounds, there will be a fight for you!" Now there is no shortage of you! ”

Before the battle began, we had casualties, and in today's superstition, I feel a sense of foreboding, if in ancient times, we would have to kill chickens and sheep and worship heaven and earth.

The wounded soldier was taken to the field hospital, and the other hicchurs were snickering, talking about the bad luck of their comrade and rejoicing in their luck.

They may not know, but I know very well in my heart that the wounded soldier may be the luckiest person today.

"Little devil, shoot blindly, and you're not afraid of wasting bullets!" Adjutant Liu, who was beside me, muttered in a low voice.

I said, "Fortunately, it wasn't a heavy machine gun that was fired just now, and if it was a heavy machine gun fire, it was estimated that it would have to lie down at least ten or eight!" ”

Adjutant Liu said: "Battalion commander, then do we have to retreat some distance, so as not to be hit by the devil's blind shot." ”

I said indifferently, "Where are you going?" Evacuate to Linmeng? As long as it is still on the Jianlong Bay position, it is within the effective range of the Japanese 92 heavy machine guns, so we can't withdraw it. ”

Adjutant Liu said: "What if the devil shoots indiscriminately into the forest?" ”

I said: "The devil's bullets are more expensive than ours, and after this round of blind shooting, I guess I will stop cooking." Even if he was hit by a blind shot, he had to be regarded as a martyr. ”

Adjutant Liu grinned and involuntarily shrank back.

Ani immediately said: "Adjutant Liu, you retreat to the back, do you want the battalion commander to block the bullet for you!" ”

Adjutant Liu hurriedly said, "Ani, how can you say that, I am, this is ......"

Ani asked reluctantly, "What is this?" Are you trying to prevent the devils from coming up from behind us and sneaking up behind us? ”

Ani's few words made Adjutant Liu choke out a word, he wanted to explain, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't answer the whole sentence.

I laughed in my heart, Ani is purely no one to bully, so I have to find someone to bully and bully.

Adjutant Liu's actions are just a person's normal reaction, and they are not close to bravery and weakness. I heard that the bullets would come, so I stepped forward, and there was only a need for anti-Japanese war propaganda. The so-called desperate effort is not to use the body to block bullets, only a fool would do that.

After such a bitter waiting, with them stirring up like this, I feel that time passes quickly. I looked at my watch, and there were still five minutes left before the river crossing.

"Herald, remind the platoon commanders of each company to pay attention! There are still five minutes left. "I called the herald and gave one last reminder order.

"Battalion commander, are they starting to move? Why did you move before it was time? Adjutant Liu's eyes were very thief, he saw that on the nearby river beach, there was a figure that had gone down, this should be the friendly army crossing the river.

The time of the battle is unified, but there are always people who do not like to observe the time, and in their opinion, it seems that a few minutes in advance and a few minutes later are irrelevant.

Many of our things, many battles, have been defeated in small ways.

Just like today, the commander of the friendly legion, for some reason, advanced a full five minutes.

He may feel that these five minutes are not important, but the five minutes he advanced are tantamount to disrupting the overall offensive deployment.
