Chapter 853: Platoon Leader and Squad Leader
The sixth son appeared in front of him at some point, shaking Yan Wei vigorously, but it was a pity that Yan Wei couldn't hear any sound except for his fluttering mouth.
"Squad leader. One, the sixth son called again.
Yan Wei rubbed his ears vigorously, and then pounded his dull chest twice, and a small voice finally became clear.
"Squad leader, are you alright?" Liuzi shook Yan Wei with concern and asked.
"No, it's fine." At this moment, Yan Wei only felt pain all over his body, but fortunately he didn't see red. After waving his hand to comfort the six sons, he staggered and climbed into the trench again.
"Call artillery, call artillery, the No. 1 position needs artillery support!" Xiao Ding's voice was clearly audible in the dense gunfire of gunfire, and hearing his hoarse shout, Yan Wei's mind that had not yet recovered was suddenly pulled back.
After grabbing a gun in the trench that he didn't know whose it was, he bent over and ran to another position.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the billowing smoke lingered overhead like a cloak of death. Bullets kept flying around the edge of the trenches, and even the scorching heat caused by the bullet rubbing against the air could be clearly felt on the exposed skin.
Just because an enemy isn't in sight doesn't mean they don't exist. Far from the monotonous repetition of the celebration of individual heroism, the real battlefield is also human, and they don't stand stupidly waiting for you to machine gun fire.
Just when Yan Wei was worried about the enemy who didn't know what to do, the artillery fire in the rear finally supported Uncle Bing in time
In the sky, accompanied by the bright wake of the Daodao, one after another cannonballs swarmed from the drunkenness, hitting the front of the position mixed with black and red smoke and dust, the violent explosion made the whole like a small boat that was placed on the cusp of the storm, with the continuous explosion shook violently, and in this roar like a god of fire, the enemy troops who had been spying in the dark before instantly turned into a cloud of bloody corpses, and fell horizontally and vertically on the ground that had been scorched by the smoke of gunpowder.
The artillery fire did not stop because of the enemy's retreat, but on the contrary, it quickly stretched forward, and the fierce artillery fire made the earth tremble violently, and in the roar of the rumbling explosion, the earth seemed to be weak, and the plants and rocks on the ground were like dust on the drum surface, constantly trembling and jumping with the explosion.
The howitzers hidden in the rear continued to erupt with their own roars, and after a round of shells with a bright trail crossed a graceful arc overhead, a barrage exploded. The explosion was bright to white, and just after the explosion and before the dust had settled, a second wave of artillery fire was approaching.
The earth shook and the rocks splashed, and the earth was once again subjected to the baptism of war, and the fertile earth was thrown high and then fell heavily, burying the enemy completely.
The seemingly solid bunkers of the enemy's position had been shaken out by the continuous explosions, and the sand mixed with stone chips and the limbs of the dead soldiers were constantly falling overhead, knocking the sandbags around them to the point of ping-pong. The earth trembled, tossing and pulling the enemy up and down, while also hiding the fear of the enemy.
Finally, some people could no longer bear the constant threat of death, and rushed out of cover with a mad shout, and the next second, the heavy artillery fire easily tore them to pieces. Seeing the corpses mixed with blood back into the trenches, the other soldiers could no longer hide their fear, and desperately shrank their bodies into the trenches.
The artillery fire continues!
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Wei found his rifle, carefully poked his head out, and used his sights to look for the target on the opposite position. Although he knew that under such heavy artillery fire, his target would not be possible, but he had to do it.
"For victory" muttered silently in his heart, Yan Wei looked for the target he had been looking for for a year through the gap between the explosion of the cannonballs. įŽĒ...,
"Bang!" Suddenly the gunshots rang out.
"Have you ever killed someone?" Walking past the row that was silently replenishing, a veteran suddenly stopped and asked Yan Wei.
Hearing the other party's abrupt question, Yan Wei first glanced at him, and then continued to silently press the bullet The other party seemed to be the master who liked to inquire about everything, for such a person, he had no time to deal with it. It's a pity that the other party has obviously made up his mind to talk to him!
At the moment when Yan Wei suppressed the bullet, he spoke again: "I killed it, I was scared at the time, but I felt very enjoyable later. â
Yan Wei, who had just gone through that fierce defensive battle, had no desire to speak at all now, but when he heard the other party's self-confession, his heart suddenly moved inexplicably, and then he changed his mind and asked, "Why, do you like to kill?" â
"It's not mental illness, who likes to kill people? But when you see someone kill your brother and he gets lucky enough to fall into your hands, then you redefine the word "like." The veteran said to Yan Wei with a depth that did not match his countenance.
"Kill the captive Ė one" Yan Wei didn't know how to continue, he just looked at it with a shocked face
"On the battlefield, it's useless to be afraid, if you are afraid, the other party is also afraid, it is human nature to be afraid of death, but this nature cannot solve our current predicament, not only that, but he will make us faster. You remember that for war, it is much better for you to get used to it than to resist it. Oh, I forgot to introduce, I'm your new acting platoon leader, my name is Ban Dafa! â
The veteran did not answer his question, but suddenly stood up and walked in the direction of the company commander.
The sudden attack of the enemy made most of the positions tight for a while, and some of them had even fallen into the hands of the enemy.
"The enemy's fire is very fierce, and at the moment only the machine guns deployed in the forward positions can stop the enemy, but under the enemy's artillery fire, the losses are very serious." The shelling just now caused something wrong with the company commander's ears, and although the position had long since returned to tranquility at this moment, he was still shouting hoarsely into the phone.
Although he felt that the company commander's voice was a little harsh, Yan Wei did not make a sound, and the previous battle was obviously beyond his imagination.
Within an hour, there were only a few walking and jumping men left in his platoon, and three of the four machine-gun positions deployed in the forward positions before the battle were dumb.
Compared to the rest of the class, Yan Wei found that he was the calmest now, and even he was terrified of his own calmness. In the face of the harsh reality, he had just rested for a while, picked up the sapper shovel again, and began to dig his own trench with all his might.
Yan Wei admits that he is afraid of death, he doesn't believe it at all, and he doesn't even expect him to become a hero, especially after arriving on the battlefield, his only hope is to live, even if it is a minute longer
He hoped that he would return to China intact, return home intact, see his father and mother intact, and then find a daughter-in-law to marry and have children, and then happily worry with them about the trivial things of life, and finally be born and sick and die smoothly. hide
But to do all this, the only way out is to live, to survive on the battlefield of nine deaths.
You can't defect to the enemy, you can't betray your friends, you can't run away! This is a bottom line that Yan Wei has set for himself, and other than that, he feels that there is nothing to worry about.
The trenches need to be a little deeper, and the bomb shelters need to be reinforced, and there is too little ammunition to replenish. While others were resting, Yan Wei silently exhausted himself half to death, and all this was just to meet the simplest requirements and let himself survive.
"You dug it?" Just as Yan Wei was digging the trench hard, veteran Ban Dafa, oh no, acting platoon leader Ban Dafa appeared behind him again and asked approvingly.
"Hmm!" Hearing the other party's inquiry, Yan Wei nodded slightly, and then continued his work. âĻ,
"It looks quite qualified, but I don't think I need it today. There will be action in a while! After gently patting his shoulder, which was already soaked with sweat, the other party said again.
"Action, what action?" Hearing Ban Dafa's words, Yan Wei asked curiously. I'm just a small soldier, and what does the company's actions have to do with me.
"The attacking force will recapture the lost position in a while, and in order to cooperate, we will fight a counter-charge here." Hearing Yan Wei's inquiry, Ban Dafa was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice.
Huh, Ban Dafa's originally friendly image was instantly shattered in Yan Wei's heart. Throwing away the shovel in his hand, Yan Wei sat down weakly.
"Why, why should we go?" After being silent for a while, Yan Wei asked in a low voice.
"Why? Because we are soldiers! We are the last barrier of the nation! The voice of the answer was shocking and majestic, and when he heard this answer, Yan Wei was speechless.
An order is an order, and there is no room for hesitation and discount, although many people do not wish in their hearts, but the order of the counter-charge is still thoroughly implemented. įŽĒ
The sun, which looked lifeless under the mist, finally gradually sank into the jungle, and a touch of lazy light became strange under the refraction of the fog and gunsmoke.
And on the position at this moment, against the backdrop of this strange light, Yan Wei and the others were already ready, waiting for the attack order that could be issued at any time.
"Have you ever seen a pack of wolves?" Ban Dafa seemed to be very interested in Yan Wei, and in this rare pre-war leisure moment, he approached Yan Wei and whispered:
"My home is in the Great Northwest, and I was there when I first served in the army, do you know what to do if you encounter a pack of wolves?"
Yan Wei was very strange why Ban Dafa suddenly talked about this, and his thinking couldn't be reversed for a while. "Wolves? Then you have to run. Out of respect for the new platoon commander, Yan Wei replied absentmindedly.
"Haha, run, then you'll die quickly." Hearing Yan Wei's answer, Ban Dafa laughed unscrupulously: "If you encounter wolves, the only way is to beat them to death." Run, you can't run on four legs on those two legs. â
Wolves? Are wolves afraid to die? In Yan Wei's impression, the wolf always looks like he is not afraid of death, and he can't understand what it will be like to beat the wolf to death! Clear
