Chapter 18: Only the Brave Are Not Afraid of War (I)

Ma Lan, who was lying in a bomb crater, slapped her ears that had been buzzing from the sound of the shell explosion, and shook her head fiercely, she looked up and saw that the battlefield was a mess, full of blown dirt and large stones, and there were tattered corpses everywhere, and broken gun parts, Ma Lan shouted loudly: "Leopard, how is it?" ”

A platoon leader lying on the first layer of trenches shouted, "It's all right! ”

"Dasha, are you alive?"

The platoon commander of the second platoon did not answer, and the battlefield was as quiet as deathly, except for the continuous swirling of flames on the wood, the sound of "crackling horns", and the heavy gasps of a group of soldiers.

After waiting for a long time, Malan shouted again: "Whirlwind! ”

"Here!"

"You will take over the position of the second platoon commander!"

Whirlwind lay on his stomach, caressing his second lieutenant's rank, a complicated look flashing across his face. Congratulations to him, he has finally been promoted in the first company of the special management battalion of the Central Teaching Corps, which is full of talents.

Don't look at it as a small step from deputy platoon commander to platoon commander, but it will have a profound impact on him. This not only means that he can receive a few more oceans of military salary every month, but also indicates that there are more opportunities in front of him. A professional soldier like him, who has received rigorous training, has systematic military knowledge, and has experienced the most tragic wars, may become a major or even a lieutenant colonel by leaps and bounds once he is transferred to other units!

The premise is that he has to get out of this battlefield alive!

Ma Lan's voice continued to echo on the battlefield, "What about the iron wall?!" ”

The three-platoon commander, who has always been taciturn and doesn't like to talk much, but can always complete the tasks assigned by Ma Lan meticulously, a hoarse voice sounded in a corner of the battlefield: "In!" ”

"What about the Bull?"

In the face of intensive bombardment, he pressed an M34 heavy machine gun under his body, and now while directing the ammunition man to re-dig the machine gun position with a one-handed shovel, the machine gun platoon platoon commander who carefully wiped the mud from the machine gun with his sleeve spit out a mouthful of saliva and responded loudly: "There is no corpse alive!" ”

Every response will make Ma Lan find a trace of comfort, and it was not until this time that Ma Lan really understood the true meaning of the phrase "soldiers are the courage of generals". Without these brothers, who can meticulously implement her orders and accompany her to fight to the death, how can she resist the fierce attacks of the Yue army, which are inevitably stronger than waves?

"The platoon commanders immediately counted the casualties!"

A platoon of leopards lay in the trenches, and he shouted: "The platoon of boys who are still alive, who can still catch their breath and fire with the guns in their hands, and who have not yet been pulled away by the bull head and horse face, give me a snort!" Start with me and count the numbers! One! ”

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Four!"

……

The cries of one after another rang out on the battlefield where the bomb was so tattered that it could grab a few pieces of shrapnel at any time, mixed with the hoarse laughter of the soldiers.

"Little daughter-in-law, why didn't the devil's cannon blow you up? Just now I heard someone crying dad and calling mother, tell me honestly, have you been scared to pee your pants? Hahaha......"

"Jackal, you rotten thing is still alive and dead, why should I die in front of you? I usually only know that you have a nose that is smarter than a dog, how can your ears be sharper than a rabbit, and you can hear someone call your mother when you are shelled by those dogs? I really have a big head, because I can't think of what kind of nickname I use to describe the dual characteristics of a rabbit and a dog in you at the same time! ”

When the first row finished counting, the leopard opened his throat and shouted, "Whirlwind, it's your turn to be in the second row!" ”

"Thirty-eight!"

"Thirty-nine!"

……

When the number of people reported to ninety-seven, the voices stopped, everyone looked at each other, and suddenly they fell silent together.

Their company originally had one hundred and twenty-eight people, and thirty-one brothers, and in the intensive bombardment just now, they closed their young eyes forever, and this is not counting how many of them were mortally injured, just fighting the last battle with death by their own will!

A trembling voice came into everyone's ears, "Da Niu, Da Niu, are you dead, if you don't die, you just speak, don't scare your brother......"

Malan turned his head and stared at his left, before the bombing began, the second platoon leader should have been lying in that crater, but now the crater has become deeper, but the second platoon leader is gone.

Veterans often say that no two shells will land in the same crater on the battlefield, but Malan now finds that theory wrong.

Why did one shell fall there, and the second shell could not hit the same place again? Just a few minutes ago, a bombshell, with a roar, smashed straight into the crater where the second platoon leader was hiding. Ma Lan really didn't want to imagine whether the second platoon commander was stoned alive by the bombshell or blown up alive into countless pieces.

The smell of blood wafting in the air was also joined by some of the officers and men of the special service battalion directly under the Central Teaching Corps, and it was only at this time that this unit, which had been strictly trained but had never participated in a large-scale war, really understood what it meant to be iron and blood on the battlefield, and only then did it really taste the salty and bitter taste of tears from his lips.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Lan looked at the sky above her head that was full of gunsmoke billowing, if the sky really had eyes, if there were really gods three feet above their heads, they should also be in tears by now!

"Brush!"

Ninety-seven's powerful right hand slashed at the brim of their hats. Staring at the blue sky overhead, they seemed to see those brothers who were carrying gunpowder smoke and no regrets, smiling and shouting towards the happy heaven, at this time, these soldiers whose hearts were still beating vigorously and whose bodies were still bubbling with the blood of the dragon let out a long howl in their hearts: "Brother, you go all the way!" ”

"Whoa......

Under everyone's gaze, a hand that had struggled to push away the heavy cement slab and finally regained its sight was constantly shaking there. Several soldiers bent over and ran over, and they lay on the ground for a while, and finally in the middle of the pile of mud and debris, they pulled out a soldier who was covered in blood, but miraculously did not suffer any fatal blows.

The soldier, who was almost buried alive, gasped and raised his right hand in the face of Ma Lan, and shouted loudly: "Report, report, report to the company commander, ninety-eight...... I'm the ninety-eighth! ”

Ma Lan looked at the soldier who was covered in the ground by the dirt and relied on his own strength to see the sky again, and she asked, "Where is your gun?" ”

The soldier lay down in the dirt hole that almost became his grave, and after a while, he pulled out a submachine gun from it, slapped the dirt off it, and shouted to Ma Lan: "Report to the company commander, the weapon is intact!" ”

"Very good, return to the team immediately!"

Malan's gaze was on the area already occupied by the enemy in the distance, her pupils reflecting a beating light in the sunlight. All the soldiers lying on the battlefield faintly heard the rumbling sound and felt the slight tremor of the earth. Needless to say, they also knew that the second offensive of this army was about to start again!
