Chapter 172: Chaos

The troops of the friendly regiment were already beginning to board the equipment for crossing the river, and their vanguard troops were even halfway through. I glanced at the time, and it was already time for our scheduled river crossing.

I stood up, issued the order, and said: "Herald, order the whole battalion, with squads and platoons as units, to start crossing the river immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The herald ran down and issued my last order on the east coast.

At four o'clock in the morning, the first battalion of the new 200 regiment moved to the river beach on time, and the second and third battalions did the same, and they were moving towards the river beach one after another.

The reason why our whole regiment can so meticulously and strictly implement the time deployment of the peak is because we have a meticulous and dogmatic commander, and what kind of commander can bring out what kind of army, this sentence is not false at all, and we have all unconsciously engraved the mark of Huang Wenlie.

The whole regiment of the new 200th regiment has just been assembled, and the troops of the friendly regiment have already crossed the river more than halfway, and I calculated in my heart that by the time the new 200th regiment crosses the river more than halfway, the vanguard of the friendly regiment should have exchanged fire with the Japanese army.

Now we have to hope that we are still in the Nu River, and we will not be discovered by the Japanese army too soon.

This is the disadvantage of the lack of unity of action, and the friendly regiments that fight together do not care about our situation at all, and only care about their own troops going ashore first, and then throw our group of people into the Nu River to be chopped up.

The men of the second and third battalions had already begun to board the river-crossing equipment, and in the waters of the Nujiang River and Longwan, there were hundreds of river-crossing equipment, rowing from the east bank to the west bank.

"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

The Japanese guard post discovered the vanguard of the friendly regiment that had already landed on the tidal flat, and it was a fluke that such a large-scale river crossing was discovered after crossing so many people.

Although I think it is possible that the Japanese did not fail to detect us, they just deliberately put us in and fight. The Japanese army did not have enough troops now, so they began to snipe on the tidal flats of the Nu River, and the Japanese army was now in the opposite situation with ours.

The first defensive position of the Japanese army on Moyun Ridge immediately opened fire to block the friendly troops who landed on the shore. Moreover, they soon discovered that there were still enemy troops in the Nu River who continued to cross the river, and the Japanese commander immediately corrected the artillery fire and fired into the Nu River.

Rumble! A cannonball exploded on the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft was immediately overturned, half of the dozen Qiu Ba on the bamboo raft were killed, and the other half rolled into the Nu River with the overturned bamboo raft.

If he is lucky enough, Qiu Ba, who fell into the Nu River, will be rescued by his comrades on the other river-crossing equipment. The unlucky Qiu Ba had no choice but to be treated as missing persons after the war.

Our criteria for identifying martyrs who died in war have always been based on evidence. Of course, the best evidence, and the most direct evidence, is that my body is in front of me.

Other fallen soldiers, even if they were killed by shells or bullets, as long as their bodies were not found, they were all treated as missing persons.

For the Qiuba who served as soldiers in the war, the dead and the missing were two completely different concepts. Fallen martyrs are given generous pensions and other discretionary benefits to their families. Missing persons are subject to a rigorous internal investigation to see if they were actually killed in action or captured by enemy forces.

In some armies, captured soldiers were later charged with traitors, interrogated, or even shot.

Tong! A grenade fired from the grenadier blew through the side of the rubber boat, and the hicchurs scrambled to block the incoming river.

In the end, it was found that it was useless, and everyone shouted, and before another shell was fired, they collectively jumped into the Nu River, floating on the river and shouting for rescue.

Bump Bump!

The Japanese army's 92 heavy machine gun was the most fond of this scene, facing the enemy army with no concealment on the Nu River, the Japanese machine gunners simply did not need to aim too accurately, because in their eyes, the Nu River was full of targets that could be fired at will.

The bullets of the 92 heavy machine gun were denser than the rain in the sky, and the platoon of soldiers had already died before they could cross the Nu River.

Everything was in disarray, and we lay on the equipment for crossing the river, just paddling desperately in the hope of getting to the shore as soon as possible, and even the cover was left to the friendly troops on the west bank.

The most terrible thing is that the east bank actually fired several flares at this time, and the flares lit up Moyunling at the same time, and also illuminated the surface of the Nujiang River clearly.

If the new 200th Regiment had already crossed the river by this time, it would certainly be understandable to fire these flares, which would have made it easier for our attacking side to find targets for firing.

But now the situation is the opposite, the front army of our new 200 regiment has just climbed the tidal flats of the west bank. The rear army, like my battalion, has only just crossed the halfway point, and now we in the Nu River have become the target of the tacit cooperation between the Japanese army and our army on the other side of the river.

Bump Bump!

Bang bang!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Tong! Tong! Tong!

Shells exploded in our midst, grenades from grenades exploded in the water around us, and bullets cut us down into the Nu River like mowing grass.

The Nu River was full of wounded soldiers and corpses of our army, and all of a sudden, the water of the Nu River was dyed red with blood.

I shouted, "Don't fight back, cross the river first, and immediately build a position on the beach!" Fight back on the spot"

I turned around and yelled at the communications man who was following me, "Ask us where the fuck our artillery suppression is!" ”

The signal soldier was frightened by my rage, and more often by the bullets fired from the other side, and stammered: "Battalion, battalion commander, who do you want me to ask?" ”

I crouched in the rubber boat and shouted, "Ask Huang Wenlie!" ”

At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the friendly legions that had gone ashore earlier were attacking Moyunling. The distribution of firepower of the Japanese army was basically divided into two groups, one group to block the attacking friendly regiments, and the other group to attack the reinforcements in the Nu River with all their might.

Our offensive is still disorganized, and our chain of command is in shambles. As I floated in the Nu River, looking at the situation I was facing, I felt like I had gone back a few years ago.

Nothing has changed, whether we are offensive or defensive. It's all messy as always.

Half of my battalion was stationed on the tidal flats on the west bank, and the other half of my battalion, including myself, was still playing a game of life and death with Japanese shells and bullets in the Nu River.

Rumble! A 92nd infantry shell landed next to my rubber boat, and the huge spray that blew up a hill that was leaning on the side of the rubber boat and tumbled into the water, I reached out and grabbed a handful, but only his rifle was caught.

Bang bang!

I raised my rifle in vent and fired aimlessly at the Japanese positions on the west bank, not only indiscriminately, because the whirlpool blown up by the bomb made the rubber boat involuntarily turn in circles, and my last few shots, in order not to injure the brothers behind me, had to shoot all into the sky.
