Chapter 147: Killing Devils and Wounding Soldiers
"Quick, get off the horse immediately, seize the advantageous terrain, you, go and carry a light machine gun at the door of the devil, immediately build a machine gun position, you must not let the devil get heavy weapons." Looking at the devil soldiers who were getting closer and closer, a company of commanders ordered the soldiers behind him loudly.
Soon, the fighters found their hiding place, and one of the light machine guns that captured the devil was also set up by the fighters. "Hit" looked at the devil who was already close at hand, and roared loudly in a long way, and the only light machine gun immediately erupted a tongue of fire.
Several untouched devils were instantly swept away by the violent rain of bullets. And the rest of the devils lay on the ground and confronted the soldiers at the first time. The soldiers on both sides began to shoot at each other, after all, the number of soldiers was several times that of the devils, and in less than a minute, two devils were shot in a row, plus the soldiers who had just been swept by the machine guns, and the little devils of a squad who came to receive heavy weapons were now only five people left. But these five people, in the face of the flying bullets, did not flinch, but occupied several shooting blind spots and continued to confront the soldiers
"The first squad and the machine guns continue to confront the devils, and the rest of us and I will go into the devils' barracks to clean up the devils' wounded soldiers and prevent them from making trouble behind our backs." Looking at the few devils, the company commander ordered.
Almost all the barracks in the Devil's Barracks have been converted into wards, and more than 100 Devil's wounded soldiers are lying in the barracks. The gunfire outside had already woken up these devils. However, most of the wounded and sick were unable to move, and when they heard the gunfire outside, although they wanted to join the battle, they had no choice but to do so, and only a dozen soldiers with no problems with their legs and feet dragged their rifles in the barracks to the door.
I saw that there were dozens of soldiers wearing their own military uniforms at the entrance of the barracks, constantly firing guns, confronting the (enemy) outside the barracks, and after a while, the gunfire outside slowly thinned out a lot. At this moment, dozens of soldiers who were standing at the gate of the barracks walked towards the barracks with guns in hand.
"The garrison has repelled the enemy's attack. Hooray" looked at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and the wounded soldiers of the devil who were lying at the door and were ready to hold on shouted loudly. As a result, the nervous wounded soldiers suddenly relaxed and no longer worried about their lives.
"Company commander, there are devil soldiers with guns at the door of the barracks." A squad leader next to the company commander whispered in his ear. "Well, I see, let the soldiers be ready to fight at any time, don't show mercy to your subordinates, as long as the devils resist, they will be destroyed by me." The company commander nodded and said, and the soldiers who received the order quietly loaded the rifles in their hands, and at the same time, they also held a grenade in their hands that had been unsafed
"Bang" A bullet hit the company commander's feet, and it turned out to be a ghost wounded soldier from the garrison team, and found that the dozens of soldiers in front of him looked very strange and not from his own team. After carefully observing their military uniforms, they found that many of them did not fit, so they immediately became vigilant, and then a bullet hit the feet of the company commander of the leader, trying to make the company commander stop.
"It's not good, the devil seems to have found out, comrades, drop bombs." The company commander did not panic in the face of the bullets under his feet, and wisely gave the order to attack. Suddenly, more than two dozen grenades were thrown out of the hands of the soldiers, and the target was directly aimed at the devil's barracks. Looking at the grenades that flew towards his barracks, the first devil wounded soldier who found the abnormality couldn't help but show despair in his eyes. "Baga, enemy attack," the desperate wounded soldier shouted, and at the same time the index finger that pulled the trigger moved.
"Bang" A gunshot rang out, and the company commander fell crookedly holding his bleeding chest. Looking at the enemy who fell under his own gun, a smile appeared on the corner of the desperate devil's mouth. However, he didn't know that it was because of his shot that caused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers.
"Company commander, company commander," looking at the company commander who fell to the ground, the soldiers shouted loudly, "Comrades, the company commander has sacrificed, avenge the company commander, kill the devil and kill it" The platoon commander yelled angrily at the soldiers behind him.
The "Devil Slayer" fighters roared in unison, fired bullets from their rifles together, and rushed towards the rubble that had been blown up by grenades.
I thought it would be an easy thing to solve these devil wounded soldiers, but it was not the same thing in the eyes of the platoon leader. First of all, the company commander fell under the guns of the devils, and then, when the soldiers rushed into the devil's barracks, none of the devils who could move were wounded because they were afraid of the avatar. Looking for everything he could use, he kept fighting with the soldiers, and some of the devils even took grenades from the soldiers' bodies and died together
Looking at his comrades who kept falling, the platoon commander's eyes were red. "Comrades, be careful, I don't want a single living mouth, give me a gun, a grenade, and kill these brutes. I'm responsible for what happened."
After receiving the order, the warriors no longer had to scruple about killing the devil captives, and every warrior's face was full of murderous energy. Angry at the beastly behavior of the devil, and sad and indignant at the sacrifice of his comrades. "Kill, kill, kill, kill the remaining remaining living warriors shouted loudly, and plunged their bayonets into the chests of the wounded soldiers of the devils. One by one, the grenades were mercilessly thrown into the devil's barracks by the soldiers, and the entire devil's barracks was full of blood.
Finally, after the special operations team arrived, the crazy soldiers who were stimulated by the blood of the devil slowly stopped killing. However, at this time, there were only a few wounded of nearly 200 people in the entire devil barracks, and they were still those devil wounded soldiers who could not move, and in the face of the remaining devil seriously wounded who had no chance of surviving, the squadron leader of the second squadron who came in a hurry could only shake his head and let them fend for themselves
Under the strong attack of the second squadron and a platoon of cavalry, a garrison squad of the devil was completely annihilated, and of course, the cavalry platoon also paid nearly a squad of casualties in the process of exterminating the wounded soldiers of the devil. In order not to attract the attention of the devil and affect his marching speed, after capturing Wuxiang, the soldiers quickly used the captured four cars to transport away a large number of weapons and equipment left by the devil in Wuxiang, and returned to the temporary military camp victoriously.
However, in the face of the fact that the soldiers of the cavalry battalion killed nearly 200 devils and wounded soldiers, there was a discordant discussion in the conference room of the temporary barracks. After all, our Eighth Route Army is not a devil and has a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and if every soldier kills prisoners at will like a cavalry battalion, then is the Eighth Route Army still the people's army? ’
Of course, the cavalry battalion also has its own statement, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were forced to resist after the devil's wounded soldiers resisted, and those devil wounded soldiers did not put down their weapons at that time, and they were not prisoners of our army at all, so the cavalry battalion's actions were not considered killing prisoners. Of course, this kind of thinking occupies a large proportion in the hearts of the warriors, after all, the beastly behavior of the devil is already ingrained in the hearts of the warriors, and the devil is hated in everyone's hearts in addition to hatred. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, there is nothing wrong with killing devils and wounding soldiers, and there are many soldiers who think that this matter of the cavalry battalion is a very happy thing....
Faced with the two sides of the dispute, Wang Hu and Liu Xiaogang decided to leave the matter of making a decision to the commander, so a telegram with a detailed account of the matter was sent to Liu Hua's temporary headquarters. After sending the telegram, everyone sat in silence at the headquarters, waiting for the result...
It didn't take long for a decision about the cavalry regiment killing the devil's wounded soldiers; "After the discussion of the command, when the cavalry company and platoon eliminated the wounded soldiers of the devils, they were completely carried out under the condition of the devils' resistance, so it did not belong to the killing of prisoners, and they did not have to bear any responsibility. In addition, in any future battle, whether it is the devil's injury or the expatriate, as long as he does not lay down his arms and is still resisting, all the fighters of the Reading Brigade must be shot in unison, and there is no need to consider the prisoner policy..."
After reading the telegram, several cadres of the cavalry battalion finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, in this telegram, they also saw the policy of the commander and the political commissar towards the devils, as long as you don't surrender and don't lay down your arms, I can kill you. And those soldiers and cadres who insisted on punishing the cavalry battalion, after reading the telegram, although they still wanted to argue a few words, and wanted to come up with the policies of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army to explain their correctness, when they saw the signature behind the telegram, everyone had no choice but to say nothing. Because this telegram was not decided by Liu Hua himself, after all, this matter was related to the policy of the Reading Force Brigade towards the enemy in the future, so after reading the telegram, Liu Hua forwarded his thoughts to Guan Xiangying, the political commissar who was sticking to the base area.
After reading the telegram that killed and returned the devil's injury, the political commissar was very angry at that time, after all, it was more than 100 lives, but when he saw the views and analysis sent by the commander, as a political commissar who had been doing political work for a long time, he felt the same way, so he immediately signed his name, so this decision was jointly signed by the political commissar and the commander.
Thus, the incident about the soldiers of the cavalry battalion killing ghosts and injuries in order to avenge their company commanders and comrades-in-arms came to an end. Encouraged by the victories of several days in a row, the fighters of about two battalions continued to carry out sneak attacks on both sides of the 117th Wing of the Devils, and even at night, some fighters were organized to harass the devils, and the devils were exhausted for the past two days, and some of the devils even fell asleep during the march.
And the wing captain of the devil, Okamoto Osa, looked at the tired soldiers behind him, and he was worried, and he didn't have any confidence in the upcoming encirclement and suppression operation. Although he repeatedly forwarded his worries and the situation of the troops to the North China Army Headquarters, he received no real help except for criticism and insults from the headquarters. The only thing that made Okamoto feel a little balanced was that not only his own army was attacked continuously, but the other Eighth Route armies were also overwhelmed by the continuous attacks to varying degrees....
Although Okamoto, as the commander of the wing, was very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of his troops now, he still believed that on the frontal battlefield, his wing was enough to resist the strength of a division of the [***] team. Therefore, Okamoto still ignored the dissuasion of the chief of staff around him, and desperately drove to Zhangjiazhuang, the key point that the troops wanted to sweep, but he didn't know that officially because of his desperation, his 117th Wing slowly walked into the road of destruction.
