Chapter 296: A Bloody Case Caused by a Cigarette
The troops of the 14th Army suspended their attack because their commander, Wei Lihuang, had just been wounded by a sniper's hidden gun in the distance. At this time, in the temporary command post of the 14th Army, more than a dozen generals and colonels were standing by Wei Lihuang's side.
At this time, Wei Lihuang's left arm was tied with a thick bandage, and the other end of the bandage was hanging high on his neck, which looked very funny.
It turned out that Commander Wei Lihuang, who was standing by the car just now giving orders, was hit in his left arm by a stray bullet from the sniper of the Magical 1st Battalion who was ambushed under the gentle slope.
He was not seriously injured, but it was a shame, even with a dozen generals, it was a shame that Commander Wei Lihuang was under the protection of so many soldiers, and he could still let the enemy's soldiers sneak attack, it was really embarrassing.
The soldiers of the artillery regiment were once again assembled, and this time the artillery position was moved back a few hundred meters in order to avoid being shot by the enemy sharpshooters again.
However, a new problem arose, because the gun positions were moved, and the surviving artillerymen would not adjust the cannons at all. Although there were a few artillerymen who could barely adjust their artillery, they also saw how much the sharpshooters of the Magical Battalion had just now.
Maybe there are more than a dozen sharpshooters hiding somewhere, secretly aiming at their artillerymen, so they don't want to be the enemy's target, and they all excuse themselves and say that they can't adjust their artillery.
In this way, dozens of cannons were set up haphazardly, and the ruler was adjusted as far away as possible, regardless of whether it hit or not, anyway, it was a burst of shelling, as long as it didn't hit your own people.
Wei Lihuang, who was resting at the temporary headquarters, heard the sound of artillery again, nodded with satisfaction, and he ordered the first division to be responsible for an all-out attack, and tonight the secretary must pass through the halfway up the mountain in front of him.
At this time, except for a few soldiers who stayed in the trenches, most of the soldiers of the Magical First Battalion hid in the anti-slope fortifications behind the hillside.
While eating canned fish produced by Huaxing, which was seized from the 14th Army, everyone listened to the sound of shells flying over their heads, one from the left and one from the right.
"Hey, isn't this a good shot? Why is the landing point jumping like this? This is a cannon shot by a recruit, right? Wang Dong, the commander of the first company, sat in the air-raid shelter with a cigarette in his mouth, took a few deep breaths, and then took it out and handed it to the second company commander next to him.
Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company, immediately took the half-smoked cigarette of the first company commander, and also took a few deep puffs of the Northern Expedition commemorative cigarette produced by Huaxing, and then slowly spit out the cigarette with great enjoyment and said:
"The artillery of the 14th Army is not accurate, which means that the brothers of the sniper platoon have succeeded, and it must be that the artillery positions of their 14th Army have been sniped by the sniper platoon, and a large number of skilled gunners have been killed, so we are so leisurely now.
But when this round of shelling is over, the enemy will start to attack in a big way, and then it will be time for our brothers to fight for their lives.
Now that it's dark, we've already completed half of our task, and as long as we survive tomorrow noon, our mission will be completed. I hope that Lao Tzu has a great life and can avoid this catastrophe. ”
Before Wang Zehui finished speaking, Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third company next to him, snatched the cigarette butt he was smoking almost out of his mouth, and then immediately stuffed it into his mouth, took a few puffs and scolded loudly:
"His milk-milk, just half a pack of cigarettes or turned out of the dead driver's pocket, and when tomorrow dawns, Lao Tzu will kill a few of his 14th Army officials, and if Lao Tzu doesn't find a ten pack of eight packs of Huaxing cigarettes, Lao Tzu will whip the corpse."
The second company commander looked at the third company commander with very contemptuous eyes: "Can you have some interest?" I think that when Li Tie supported us in the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai, there were enough cans and cigarettes.
Let's say that we can be regarded as people who have seen the world, don't be like a dirt bun, even a pack of cigarettes must be picked from the dead, if you have the ability, let's go down the mountain tonight to sneak an attack, the headquarters of the 14th Army is at the foot of the mountain, let's organize a platoon of death squads to sneak attack their headquarters, maybe we can seize a box of cigarettes? ”
"Yes, anyway, we will die tomorrow, so it's better for us to give them a stick first, and kill and cripple the destiny of each other." The commander of the first company completely agreed with the proposal of the commander of the second company.
"That's right, tens of thousands of them are guarding the bottom of the mountain, they must not have thought that we dare to go down the mountain to attack them, maybe we are lucky, not only robbed good cigarettes and wine, but also killed Wei Lihuang by the way, wouldn't that solve the crisis of our army?" Wang Chengjun, the commander of the third company, said.
"Okay, then it's decided, I guess our battalion commander is also thinking about it, we'll go to the battalion commander in a while and see if we can bring Jin San Fat with us, with his machine gun company to take the lead, our success rate will be higher."
Now that it is dark, it is estimated that the 14th Army will attack a few times at most, and it will definitely retreat to rest. That's what we did. Wang Zehui, the commander of the second company, finally made a decision on this matter.
Then several people went to the battalion commander together to see if the battalion commander also agreed to this plan. As expected, Camp Commander Liu was not a safe man, and when he heard that he was going to steal the camp, he wanted to take the lead.
The last three company commanders resolutely disagreed, if they died during the sneak attack, and the battalion commander was in charge of the overall situation, if the battalion commander sacrificed, who did you let them listen to? It is estimated that no one will be convinced, and they will have to fight.
Battalion Commander Liu Aiguo thought about it too, so he simply drew some people from both the engineer platoon and the machine gun platoon to form a reinforced platoon, and the men of the engineer platoon threw grenades accurately, and the men of the machine gun platoon shot even more elusively.
Later, your platoon wanted to add a few people, our platoon also wanted to add a few people, and in the end, a whole company of people wanted to steal the camp. Where is this going to the camp of stealing? This whole thing is to end the rhythm of people's nests.
Soon the aimless shelling stopped, and the commander of the 1st Division of the 14th Army personally came to direct the attack, because although it was late, there were still some figures to be seen, so he immediately ordered a regiment to attack on all fronts.
If it weren't for Li Tie's sufficient logistical support more than a year ago, with an unlimited supply of vegetables and fruits every day, I am afraid that today's night battle would be even more difficult.
But now it's different, the soldiers of the magical battalion are staring round one by one, and everyone has already touched the front of the position in the daytime, so in the night, by the moonlight, you can clearly see the soldiers of the 14th Army who are shaking a little bit dozens of meters away.
When the soldiers of the 14th Army were about to touch the distance of 30 meters in front of the position, hundreds of soldiers in the trenches suddenly all probed out, more than 100 machine guns all opened fire, and hundreds of box guns also frantically poured bullets in a continuous situation.
The soldiers of the 14th Army, who had already rushed to the position, were stunned by such powerful firepower, and the team of nearly 1,000 people fell one by one before they could fully deploy in front of the position.
Then there was another burst of grenades falling from the sky, and there were many other grenades in the Nineteenth Route Army, especially the grenades of the whole division were left for him in the magical battalion, which was not open and thrown.
Another burst of machine guns and grenades, and the Magical 1st Battalion repelled the attack of a regiment of the 1st Division of the 14th Army with only two axes out of three axes.
When the commander of the regiment ran back to the commander of the first division in embarrassment, the regiment commander knelt in front of the division commander one by one:
"Division commander, this battle can't be fought like this, our artillery has been bombarded for dozens of minutes, and people haven't even broken a hair, our brothers have just rushed to the front of the formation, and hundreds of machine guns are fired together, and we can't resist even if we are iron.
What's more, most of the brothers have night blindness, in this dark night. We can't even see where the enemy is hiding, so how can we fight accurately? ”
", you can't see clearly, can they see clearly? How long has it been since you have thousands of people driven back by the family, and hundreds of people have been killed and injured? ”
The commander of the first division actually believed what the commander of the first regiment said, because he could see clearly in the telescope the hundreds of continuous firepower points just now, but he couldn't just let the enemy fight the enemy at one time, right?
The commander of the first division forcibly ordered the commander of the first regiment to attack the position of the magical battalion again, and the commander of the first regiment had to step forward, this time he learned wisely, he ordered all the soldiers to crawl forward, and he followed from a distance and stared.
Who knew that the people in this magical camp didn't know how good their eyes were? Or is there something special about it, you can always find these creeping soldiers from a long distance.
Then, I don't know what secret weapon they used, and more than a dozen bundles of cluster grenades were thrown out of the tunnel by the people of the Magical Battalion.
Oh, my God! How did they throw it at a distance of hundreds of meters? Boom and boom, hundreds of soldiers withdrew again without saying a word.
The commander of the regiment had no choice but to personally escort hundreds of soldiers to attack again, and the poor commander of the regiment finally touched the front of the position under the attack of cluster grenades this time, and after sacrificing hundreds of people again.
Then hundreds of firepower points were exerted at the same time, and a group of soldiers cried and called for their mother, and this time he didn't need to shout, and all the soldiers withdrew down the mountain again.
And the poor regiment commander had no more to worry about, for he had been shot in the head by a bullet from nowhere, and was too dead to die.
Just as a regiment of soldiers ran down the mountain, two soldiers quickly ran out of the trench halfway up the hill, and they ran directly to the corpse of a regiment leader, searched up and down, and found two packs of fine Huaxing cigarettes from the pockets of the regiment commander.
The two of them quickly ran back to the halfway up the mountainside fortifications, and then, along a low tunnel, went directly to the anticline fortifications of the back mountain.
As soon as the two entered the fortifications, they took out the two packs of cigarettes from their pockets and threw them to the three company commanders, who were a little slower and had the first and second company commanders snatch one pack.
Fortunately, the two of them are not even deducted, and there are dozens of people in the entire fortification, and one person is not enough, so just two people and one person.
Because the company commanders are the biggest cadres here, the three of them are very content: "How is it?" I said that kid was an officer, and thought I wouldn't recognize him if I changed my hat? How can anyone who is a soldier wear military boots? ”
The second company commander said proudly.
"It's still the second company commander's eyes are poisonous, but I also want to thank the brothers in the sniper platoon, the marksmanship is good, such a dark day, more than 100 meters away, one shot can shoot the head, this marksmanship is really not covered." The commander of the first company repeatedly praised the sniper platoon soldiers who fired next to him.
The soldier was very embarrassed and said: "Actually, I am blind, and the second company commander said that I should kill the officer in military boots. Anyway, if he hit, he was unlucky, he couldn't fight, and he couldn't blame me for my inaccurate marksmanship, so I just aimed in a general direction and shot him casually, and who knew that he would explode his head. ”
Alas, a life was lost for a box of cigarettes. This brother of the commander of the 14th Army died unjustly!
