Chapter 18: The bloody battle on the Jinsha River
The wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, accompanied by the sound of the surging force of the Jinsha River hitting the reef in my ears, not only did it not seem noisy, but on the contrary, it became quieter and quieter.
"There are a total of five or six hundred recruits who have only joined our three regiments, and it is unlikely that all of them will cross the river, so after discussion with the political commissar, it was decided to send away fifty people and keep them as the spark for our three regiments, and those who are willing to come out!"
As Lin Dashan's words came out, everyone became quieter, and no one was the first to step out.
Long.
Lin Dashan's smile was even better, and he was greatly relieved in his heart, his soldiers were all good, and he didn't have a fucking seed.
But he really wanted to leave a few seeds for his three regiments, and immediately glanced at the recruits with some dodgy eyes.
"Since you don't want to, then Lao Tzu will pick people, monkey, what do you see? It's you, you kid has only been in the army for a few days, and you're young, go ahead! Lin Dashan looked at a recruit, the name of this recruit was very easy to remember, he still remembered, his body was thin, he looked like a monkey, and he was very distinctive.
The monkey was greatly surprised when he was named, and immediately said with an anxious look: "Regiment, regimental commander, I don't want to!" I am willing to fight with everyone. ”
"Less fucking bullshit, it's you." Lin Dashan roared, "This is a fucking chance to give you a chance to live, do you fucking know how good it is?" ”
"I ......" The loss was a young man who was almost twenty years old, and the monkey's tears were almost urgent, "Commander, I still have an elder brother who takes care of my mother at home, I don't have anything to worry about even if I sacrifice, you better give this opportunity to Xiao Yazi, he is the only seedling in the family!" ”
A young warrior who looked to be smaller than the monkey was pushed out by the monkey in a panic.
"Brother Monkey, I, I don't ......"
"Little tooth, this is a chance to live, you are still young, you have to live well."
The words that were similar to Lin Dashan came out of the monkey's mouth, and looking at the monkey's sincere expression, everyone did not laugh, and their hearts were very heavy.
No one can look at it calmly: a young man under the age of twenty says to another young man, "You are still young, you must live well." This is a choice made by the monkeys without hesitation in the face of life and death, absolutely without any falsehood, they are using their lives to interpret the great feelings of this revolutionary.
Han Xin stood in the group of recruits, looking at this scene, his heart was also shaken, he finally understood the reason why the weak Red Army won the final victory, with such a pure army, what reason should it not succeed?
No one doubts anything, this is the purest form of comradeship, even for new recruits.
In contrast, I think of the degeneration of some revolutionaries in the memory of later generations: embezzlement, corruption, sleek sophistication, flattery and bullying, and struggle for power and profit...... Han Xinzhen is really very emotional, if time can be turned back and those revolutionaries who have changed their quality stand in front of these loyal and pure party members, they may not even have the face to live, of course, the premise of saying this is that they still have conscience and self-esteem.
The monkey's actions shocked the soldiers, and also stunned Lin Dashan, what happened was completely unexpected to him, he didn't expect that in the face of life and death decisions, these recruits could still make such a great sacrifice.
Then, maybe the monkey took the lead, or maybe the monkey was just an introduction, and there was no need for Lin Dashan to point people anymore, and one by one the very reluctant recruits were pushed out by everyone.
The war was urgent, and everyone knew it, that is, half a cup of tea, and 49 recruits were selected.
Han Xin stood in the corner of the soldiers, and he didn't fix his identity as a recruit in his heart, so the scene in front of him was a touching comradeship drama for him, and he didn't think that he was one of them.
It wasn't until the brothers of the third class pushed him out of the way that he was really a little flustered.
He finally realized why no one took the initiative to stand up, and he understood the reason why the recruits who could survive even if they were forcibly selected by everyone were all distressed and reluctant.
Facing those thousands of sincere eyes and sincere blessings, Han Xin felt like he was a deserter, but he was still taken care of by everyone.
The condemnation from the heart cannot be ignored, if he chooses so passively, he will inevitably regret it for the rest of his life, and then looked at the same distressed and reluctant looks of the selected recruit comrades who were standing around him, Han Xin couldn't hold back anymore and stood up.
"Commander, I have something to say."
"Oh?" Lin Dashan was still very happy that Han Xin was selected, originally he was going to make Han Xin out of specialization, he didn't want to fold such a talent, but now it seems that he doesn't need it, and immediately looked at Han Xin with a group of soldiers, curious what he would say.
In the breeze, Han Xin's expression was calm, and he said: "Regiment commander, we are good recruits, so are we soldiers of the third regiment?" ”
"Yes"
"Are we the soldiers of the regiment commander Lin Dashan?"
"Nature."
"So Lin Dashan's soldiers will retreat when they face the flames of war? But who would be afraid? But who will escape? Han Xin's voice became louder and louder, and the last question was almost roaring, and the object of his inquiry, in addition to Lin Dashan, was also aimed at the selected recruits.
"Nope"
Surprisingly unanimous, the 49 recruits looked at Han Xin, their eyes were burning, and there was no more or less fear of war in their eyes, and they all puffed up their chests.
"We are recruits, but we are also soldiers of the commander of the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment of Lin Dashan; We are new recruits, and our combat effectiveness is low, but we are not afraid of death, even if we die together, we will move forward bravely; We are new recruits, but what we have is blood and passion, and we are responsible for the great cause of the motherland and the people, and we can do the same for the recruits.
Do you think so? ”
"Yes"
"Commander, we're not leaving."
"Yes, regimental commander, unless you shoot me now, I won't leave, and I swear to live and die with the comrades of the three regiments."
……
Han Xin's throat was already a little hoarse, but his eyes were full of relief, this group of recruits were all good, whether compared to the soldiers in this later life or the previous life.
"You ...... What a fucking stupid!! Lin Dashan's eyes were a little moist, and he forced back his tears, looked at Han Xin, and said with a wry smile: "Why are you so hard......
"Regiment commander, since it is a broken kettle, we must do not leave the slightest thing, the fire of the Red Army is the fire of our three regiments, the Red Army will not be extinguished, the three regiments will not be extinguished, and the spirit of our three regiments will accompany the Red Army all the way to the final victory.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and we will accompany you to fight to the end! ”
"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end."
The soldiers of the three regiments roared in unison, and the momentum soared into the sky, shocking the four enemies, and the birds and finches perched in the trees were startled, fluttering their wings and flying in all directions.
"Okay, a good bloody battle to the end, you are all fucking good, let's not talk much nonsense, Lao Tzu announced, the whole regiment to participate in the war, is to die, we also have to bite off a piece of meat on the enemy's body, drink a mouthful of blood, and buy enough time for the large army to transfer." Lin Dashan finally stopped hesitating and gave the final order.
……
In the regiment commander's command room, an old-fashioned map that was a little rough was spread out by Lin Dashan, and the political commissar Xiao Xiang and the regiment commander Lin Dashan surrounded them and thought carefully.
"Lao Xiao, I'm afraid we're a little hung this time, I said let you transfer with the army, intellectuals, that's a rare commodity, you have to put me here to die, and those angry recruits, I've praised the old bottom for so many years, I'm afraid that my mother will be beaten this time."
"You really can't spit out ivory in your mouth" Political commissar Xiao Xiang rolled his eyes, he was used to Lin Dashan's "cynicism" without malice, stared at the map and said: "Alas, this time we are blocking the troops, plus our backs to the Jinsha River, easy to attack and difficult to defend, there is no way to retreat, and there is a huge difference in equipment between the enemy and us, it is indeed difficult for the enemy's soldiers to press the border!" ”
"Lao Lin, what are you going to do?"
For the political commissar Xiao Xiang is unwilling to evacuate, he insists on accompanying him to fight, saying that the three regiments can't do without the political commissar, don't look at the vulgarity of what he says, Lin Dashan's heart is still very moved, you must know that the brigade commander gave the order to let Comrade Xiao Xiang evacuate!
Lin Dashan was born poor and didn't know what to do, but he had a scale in his heart, and a comrade like Portrait who was willing to accompany him in weal and woe was definitely a good brother for life.
Seeing Xiao Xiang's question, Lin Dashan shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and said: "Hehe, our old Lin is grinding hard at the brigade commander, and he insists on coming to more than a dozen boxes of grenades, at least two or three hundred in one box, obediently, thousands of grenades, even if it rains, it will rain for a while, enough for the national army to drink a pot." ”
"A dozen boxes!" Xiao Xiang's eyes widened, and the black silk frame eyes almost scratched off the bridge of his nose, "Didn't you loot the brigade commander!" "He knows the equipment situation of the Red Army troops at the moment, it is scarce and pitiful, and a brigade only has so much ammunition, and he was actually asked for it by Lin Dashan at one time.
This made Xiao Xiang couldn't help but look at Lin Dashan a few more times, as if he wanted to take a good look at how much face he had.
"Hehe, who taught the brigade commander that his old man just favored me! Besides, if you want the horses to run, you can't give them grass? Our whole regiment is bleeding and dying here, what's wrong with the ammunition, I still think I'm going to be missing!
I wanted a few heavy machine guns, but who knew that I was kicked out by the brigade commander. ”
"Be content!" Xiao Xiang is helpless, this guy just can't boast, you said that he was fat, he really gasped, heavy machine guns, even the brigade commander estimated that there were not a few!
boasting, Lin Dashan continued: "Thousands of grenades, I am going to assign them all to a company of a battalion, which can be regarded as forming a temporary "grenade battalion" and handing it over to Xiao Yingtang, the commander of a company.
I will divide the 100 comrades of the company into multiple teams, and ask everyone to stop the grenades in groups for a few seconds and throw them out, and strive to blow them all out in the air within a minute, during which the whole regiment will cover with maximum firepower, and then fight a positional battle, relying on the position to maneuver around the enemy. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." Xiao Xiang nodded, but he was a little worried about the positional battle behind Lin Dashan, and he was very helpless to play, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold it for long.
As for asking Han Xin, Lin Dashan didn't do it, because the current situation is very clear, under the absolute difference in strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain, and it is even easier to make mistakes, so it is better to fight steadily.
And this is indeed the case, in the face of this kind of blocking war, Han Xin really didn't have any good ideas for a while.
A bloody battle, unavoidable.
