Chapter 106: The So-Called Dead Soldier
Wang Qiang's words lifted Nan Wenbo's spirits, people die for money, birds die for food, and besides, when the time comes, just find a place to hide, and don't let yourself go to the battlefield. Having said that, if you don't go, your voice in Nancheng will be weak in the future, and the position of the head of the Nancheng regiment is something that the family has fought for, in case the Zhenguo Army wins, there will also be a credit to the Nan family!
At this time, it was already about 4 o'clock in the morning, and it was still very dark, Nan Wenbo took the three hundred Nancheng regiment armed with torches, followed behind the third company, and went in the direction from which the comprador regiment came.
"Lao Wang, don't get involved in the battle, take charge of the liaison with the Nancheng regiment behind, let them go around to the back of that hill, and prepare to ambush the fleeing enemy. Also, let them not be bloody, regardless of the impact on the battlefield, I don't want to see the scene of accidental injury. Gao Cheng instructed, Wang Qiang nodded, turned around and rode a bicycle to find Nan Wenbo. The third company stopped advancing here, and the scouts in front of the assault had sent back the news that they had found an armed group of about 600 men, dressed in disarray, supposed to be a comprador regiment, about three kilometers away.
The battle was about to start, the sky was slightly bright, and Takajo ordered a platoon to snipe head-on, and the second and third platoons were responsible for attacking on both flanks. The opponent is a civilian army, which makes Gao Cheng, who is a top student of the Military Academy, feel a little invincible, and before he came, he also fantasized about fighting with the Ninth Town, now, let's eliminate these people first.
"Don't fire with heavy firepower first, light machine guns and so on, it's still a problem to scare them away!" Gao Cheng stayed in the front position, lying in a foxhole and whispering orders to the surroundings. The success of building a foxhole in a short period of time is due to the sapper shovel as a fortification construction weapon, the sapper shovel made of good steel has a variety of uses, not only can be used to build fortifications, but also can be used as a single melee weapon, which is better than a rifle with a bayonet, and the infantry of the Zhenguo Army are all good at using the sapper shovel in close combat.
There was silence on the position as soon as the order was given, and a few minutes later the figure of the enemy appeared a few hundred meters ahead, the light was too dim to be seen faintly, but the sound was heard far away in the quiet morning. The scolding voices of the comprador members, the cries of pack horses, and the heavy and chaotic footsteps of the team became nervous as the voices approached.
He was a graduate of the first phase of the infantry of the Military Academy, and was assigned to the Fourth Army of the Army as a second lieutenant company commander, in fact, he was a complete rookie, and this was also his first time on the battlefield. There are more than 170 people in the third company, all of whom have never experienced the battlefield, and Gao Cheng has no idea what this battle can be.
The chaotic team was gradually approaching a row of positions, closer, closer, less than a hundred meters away, and Gao Cheng felt his heart beat to his throat. "Smack", a drop of dew fell on Gao Cheng's face.
"Fire!" Gao Cheng shouted, the submachine gun in his hand swept out horizontally, and the position suddenly burst into gunfire, and the lines of fire galloped towards the comprador group, and after drilling into the enemy's body, the huge impact pushed the enemy in, and then could not get up.
A dozen enemy soldiers were taken down by surprise, and the rest were all lying on the ground, and many began to raise their guns to return fire, although the accuracy was pitifully low, but it also posed a threat to the platoon. The enemy's bullets flew overhead, and the sound of swishing made Gao Cheng, as a company commander, feel a little frightened, and sure enough, the firepower on the platoon of positions suddenly became sparse.
There was a sound of wawing in the house from the enemy army, and the enemy soldiers lying on the ground suddenly bounced off the ground and rushed madly towards the rows of positions.
"Company commander, order, we need order!" The platoon commander shouted in the direction of Gao Cheng, many soldiers were frightened, hid in foxholes and refused to shoot, the rest of the fire was all made up of rapid-fire rifles, but the distance was too close, the fire was sparse, the enemy had already begun to charge, and it seemed that he was about to rush to the position.
"All fire, units, all fire. The order, the mortar squad opened fire, and the second and third platoons on both flanks also outflanked the past! A platoon commander woke up Gao Cheng, several orders were issued one after another, the machine gunners who had been waiting for a long time immediately opened fire, dozens of grenades flew in the air, and the enemy's charging momentum was stagnant, especially after the heavy machine guns joined, the heavy gunfire and the dense line of fire made the enemy soldiers drop dozens of corpses and retreat.
The comprador regiment failed to retreat safely, and the second and third platoons on both flanks immediately began to fire as soon as they were in place, and the crossfire from three directions left the more than 500 comprador regiment members without the slightest place to hide. The fire strike consisting of three companies of nine light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, and three mortars became a nightmare for the comprador regiment.
No matter how brave and not afraid of death, there is nothing to be done in the face of this situation, this is no longer something that human power can resist, no matter how many people rush up, they will be killed by the barrel, this is by no means the Nancheng regiment! Some people in the comprador group have already remembered those rumors, and the Zhenguo Army in the south sent a lot of people into Jiangxi to organize a counterattack against the comprador group, are these people?
The shadow of death hung over everyone's heads, and the whistling of bullets was the scythe of death to harvest life, and in just ten minutes, everyone except those lying on the ground lost their lives. Even lying on the ground is not necessarily safe, and an explosion will sound around you at any time.
"Made, you can't beat it, let's withdraw!" The sound was low in the sound of gunfire, but it was still heard by people nearby, and it was supposed to be a commander, so the order was passed down by the regimental members lying on the ground, and the surviving regimental members began to crawl slowly backwards on the ground, trying to escape from this place of death.
Gao Cheng's face is still red, damn, he is still the company commander, and his performance is not as good as some recruits, it's too embarrassing! The performance of the third company became more and more normal, and the comprador regiment became the best training object for them to spend the psychological period of recruits, and seeing the enemy slowly retreating, Gao Cheng ordered the mortars to stop firing, and the whole company pressed up!
All thought that the battle was coming to an end, that the enemy would soon surrender, and the soldiers did not even load their bayonets. Unexpectedly, the enemy did not continue to retreat after standing up, but rushed towards the third company! Melee combat was inevitable, with both sides having no shelter and shooting bullets from their rifles at each other before getting closer, and then colliding together.
The three companies that approached the front, relying on their high rate of fire and high ammunition load, machine guns and grenades with their grips in their hands, had a clear upper hand, and hundreds of soldiers of the comprador regiment were knocked to the ground. But after the start of the melee battle, the three companies were still in a disadvantageous position, the whole company was less than two hundred men, but the comprador regiment was still nearly three hundred men after such an intense attack.
The numerical disadvantage can also be compensated for by superior weapons such as pistols and sapper shovels, but the courage of the soldiers in battle is not something that Gao Cheng can control. Gao Cheng used his pistol to deal with two enemies, and the bullets were already empty, and before he had time to replace the magazine, he pulled out the sapper shovel from behind and scuffled with an enemy. The soldiers of the third company have stronger bodies and have undergone systematic melee combat training, while the members of the comprador regiment are not afraid of death and have more experience in close combat. This made Takashiro, who raised his head after finishing the enemy, resentful, and there were many soldiers who fell in the third company, and he suffered too much in close combat, which was caused by his own poor command!
Nan Wenbo, who was lying on the hill not far away with Wang Qiang, completely witnessed the battle between the third company of the Zhenguo Army and the comprador regiment, and the strong combat effectiveness of the third company (rather than the powerful firepower) made him full of confidence, such firepower, even if a thousand people came, it was not the opponent of the third company!
The next battle stunned him, and the comprador group died without stiffness, and even bit back! When the third company rushed up, Nan Wenbo knew that it was going to be bad, the comprador group was not so easy to deal with, the hundreds of people who died in his Nancheng regiment were all killed and wounded in close combat, although they also killed dozens of people in the comprador regiment, but the gap was obvious, those people were all outlaws!
Sure enough, after entering the melee battle, the third company fell into a bitter battle, and the superior equipment could not be brought into play, and after dozens of enemies armed with machetes joined the battle, the third company became even more passive. These people all seem to have martial arts skills and are experienced in fighting, and the recruits of the Third Company simply can't resist such an impact.
"Lao Wang, it's time for us to go!" Nan Wenbo laughed, pulled out a big knife, and shouted and led the Nancheng regiment into the battlefield.
"Brush!" Chopping an enemy to death, Nan Wenbo flicked a big knife, he mixed in Nancheng back then, and once won the prestige of 'Nan Batian', although he is a lot older now, but he has finally regained his strength!
The addition of the Nancheng Regiment eased the situation, and the soldiers of the Third Company were able to spare time, and the exhausted and dangerous Gao Cheng was rescued by Nan Wenbo, and before he had time to say thank you, he ordered the soldiers: "Change the pistol magazine, cover the brothers of the Nancheng Regiment!" ”
Ten minutes later, the last member of the comprador regiment fell to the ground, and the hard battle finally ended. Nan Wenbo held the big knife in one hand, squatted on the ground and gasped for breath, Gao Cheng came over, took out a roll of gauze from his backpack, and helped Nan Wenbo bandage his injured left arm.
"Thank you, Lao Nan! If it weren't for you, we would have suffered a lot from these recruits. ”
"Hey, old man, you've scared me a lot. I thought you were chopping melons and vegetables, and they were cut into stones, don't blame my brother for being so mouthy, how did this battle come to this? ”
