127 Lost Soldiers
Li Tianqian wanted to say more, Lin Fei waved his hand, Li Tianqian hurriedly shut up, he knew that Lin Fei was concentrating and thinking, he didn't dare to disturb Lin Fei's train of thought.
Lin Fei couldn't make up his mind at this time, because he didn't know how many enemy troops there were, he took a deep breath and quietly listened to the gunfire, hoping to find some clues from these gunshots, and gradually, he heard some doorways from the gunshots, and in these gunshots, there were very few explosions of shells, that is, the Nuwa ship didn't fire its guns.
Lin Fei suddenly thought that the lack of artillery could indicate that the enemy's resistance was relatively weak, but after thinking about it, he felt that this explanation was inappropriate, and the Nuwa ship fired less artillery may also be because the enemy was too far away, and the five kilometers of sea near the No. 1 landing site were all forbidden areas for the Nuwa ship, and if the enemy was on the shore, the Nuwa ship would definitely not open fire.
Lin Fei listened to the increasingly dense gunshots, unable to judge what was happening on the front line, he gritted his teeth, and secretly thought that he should be cautious in using soldiers, and he must not take risks... He turned to Li Tianqian and said, "Order the communication company, fire three green bombs, and order them to retreat..."
Li Tianqian replied "yes" in a loud voice, turned around and ran out, and in a short time three green flares rose into the air, which was a signal to order all the troops to retreat.
Lin Fei watched the three green signal flares in the sky slowly fall, and said to Li Tianqian: "Let's go, let's go to the beach and wait for the returning troops." ”
Lin Fei and Li Tianqian came to the beach, and at this time, the first group of soldiers waiting for departure on the beach were all poking their heads into the distance, but they could only hear the sound and could not see the firelight, because the distance was too far, and the earth's curved surface blocked the firelight.
Lin Fei waited anxiously, twenty minutes later, fifteen points of light appeared in everyone's sight on the sea, gradually approaching the sea, the outline of fifteen arrow warships appeared on the sea, the arrow warships got closer and closer, the sea water on the shore was very shallow, the oars of the arrow warships could already touch the underwater beach, so the soldiers threw down the oars, jumped into the water, and pushed the arrow warships ashore.
Lin Fei hurriedly ran over and shouted at the soldier closest to him, "You guys belong to that unit?" ”
The soldier replied, "We are from the third company of the seventh battalion. ”
Lin Fei then asked, "What about your company commander?" ”
The warrior replied: "On the boat behind." ”
Lin Fei hurriedly looked at the boat behind, only to see that the soldiers were wading through the water to push the boat, and he couldn't see who the company commander was in the dark night, Lin Fei hurriedly said to the staff officers around him: "Hurry up and find the company commander for me." ”
The staff officers ran to the side of the boat and quickly brought a strong man to Lin Fei, who came to Lin Fei and saluted with a "snap" and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I am the commander of the third company of the seventh battalion, Zhong Yuanming." ”
Lin Fei simply returned the salute and asked anxiously, "How many Spaniards are attacking you." ”
Zhong Yuanming replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the Spaniards did not attack our company, they are fighting with the company in front of us, so we don't know what is going on." ”
Lin Fei frowned, Zhong Yuanming thought that Lin Fei was going to blame him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's too dark, we really can't see the situation in front clearly." ”
Lin Fei shook his head lightly and said, "I don't mean to blame you, you go back and rest first." ”
Zhong Yuanming replied "yes" loudly, gathered the three companies on the beach, and brought them back to the barracks, Lin Fei looked at the sea in the distance, thinking that he could only ask the company that came back later, twenty minutes passed quickly, and fifteen fires appeared on the sea again, and during this time, the gunfire in the distance weakened a lot.
At that time, fifteen flying arrow warships approached the coast, and this time it was the second company of the seventh battalion that came back, and the commander of the second company, Sun Qiyun, went ashore and found Lin Fei directly and said: "Your Majesty, the first company has been attacked by the Spanish fleet..."
Lin Fei was startled, thinking that the Spanish fleet had been destroyed by me, why did it come out again? Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "You said the Spanish fleet?" What's going on? How many warships are there? What's on it? ”
Sun Qiyun shook his head and said: "I can't see clearly, anyway, we saw the fire of the attacking company coming from the sea, so we concluded that the enemy should have dispatched a fleet, but their fleet didn't seem to be equipped with artillery, and we didn't hear the sound of artillery." ”
Lin Fei nodded in disappointment and said, "You guys go back first." ”
Sun Qiyun gathered his troops and left, Lin Fei knew that if he wanted to find out the details of the enemy army, he had to wait for the first company to come back, and after another half an hour, there were dots of fire on the sea, Lin Fei counted them and found that there were only six, that is, there were nine arrow warships that did not come back.
Lin Fei's heart suddenly cooled by half, and the people around him also looked sad, the loss of nine arrow warships meant the loss of 72 soldiers, and the first company of the seventh battalion only had a total of 120 people, and the attrition in this battle was more than two-thirds...
Lin Fei was more worried about the safety of the battalion headquarters of the seventh battalion, Lin Fei asked his officers to take the lead, so the commander of the seventh battalion, Wei Zelong, and several staff officers followed the first company to act, and first landed on the island to fight, the first company lost so many people, the battalion commander Wei Zelong and the battalion staff may not be spared, Wei Zelong is the best candidate for the commander of the third regiment, Lin Fei's fierce general, can not have losses...
The six flying arrow warships were close to the sea, and Lin Fei, who was anxious, ran in the direction of the flying arrow warship, and Niu Dalong, who was behind Lin Fei, hurriedly said: "Keep up with Your Majesty..."
When Lin Fei saw the soldiers in the arrow warship, he was so distressed that he almost fainted, only to see that the soldiers inside were covered in blood one by one, several of their arm bones were broken, and the arms connected by skin and flesh hung weakly, and some of the soldiers had several large holes in their bodies with blurred flesh and blood, and the wound was in severe pain when they touched the sea, but they no longer had the strength to shout, all they could send out was a low **......
Lin Fei turned around and shouted, "Chief Medic, Chief Medic, hurry up and save people." ”
Yue Dexing had already been waiting at the beach with the medical team, and when he heard Lin Fei's shouts, he ran over, they carried the wounded to the stretcher and sent them to the barracks, and the beach was full of the shouts of the wounded and the medics for a while.
The ** of those wounded people shot through Lin Fei's heart like a sharp arrow, Lin Fei only felt that his mind was blank, at this moment, Lin Fei suddenly felt that his clothes were being pulled, Lin Fei looked down, it turned out that two medical soldiers carried a wounded man past him, and the wounded man reached out and grabbed his clothes.
The wounded man shouted with all his might, "Your Majesty...... 陛xià......"
Lin Fei grabbed the wounded's hand and yelled at the medics, "Put him down first." ”
The two medics put the stretcher on the beach, Lin Fei knelt beside the wounded, and saw that the wounded's clothes had been stained red with blood, and there were three shocking wounds on his chest, and there was another pain in his heart, and the wounded man gasped and said, "Your Majesty...... I...... No more...... Please...... One thing? ”
Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Say it? ”
The wounded coughed and squirted a string of blood foam from his mouth, and then Lin Fei saw the wounded's face clearly, and was surprised to find that the wounded man turned out to be Wang Chao who broke into the military conference venue.
Lin Fei said loudly: "Wang Chao, you are Wang Chao... Sue me, what's the matter with you? ”
Wang Chao saw that he was recognized by Lin Fei, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he struggled to say, "Please, don't remove our number...... Don't withdraw ......"
Wang Chao only said half of this sentence, and the rest of the words couldn't be said, grabbed Lin Fei's hand and let go, and landed weakly on the beach, his head was also tilted to the side, Lin Fei hurriedly shouted: "Quick, carry it down and rescue..."
A medic said gloomily: "Your Majesty, he was shot three times in the chest, and each bullet was critically wounded...... I'm afraid ......"
Lin Fei thought in his heart, this soldier named Wang Chao did not hesitate to break into the military conference venue in order to win honor for his troops, and when he was dying, he was still begging himself not to withdraw the number of their company, what a good soldier... Lin Fei's nose was sour, and tears fell involuntarily.
But Lin Fei was the commander of the whole army after all, he wiped his tears and said to his subordinates: "Send him down and bury him well." ”
Two medical soldiers carried Wang Chao away, and at this time, more wounded were carried out, and some of the wounded were carried to the shore, Lin Fei endured his grief and shouted: "Li Tianqian, count the casualties of the first company, and find the commander of the first company, the political instructor, Wei Longze, and the staff officer of the battalion headquarters." ”
Li Tianqian agreed with a crying voice, and when it was not too late, a strong man covered in blood and red eyes ran to Lin Fei, saluted, and said loudly in a crying voice: "Shi Qiang, the commander of the first company of the seventh battalion, see Your Majesty." ”
Lin Fei listened to the voice of the company commander with full confidence, knowing that he was not injured, his heart relaxed slightly, and then asked, "What happened?" How did the Spaniards attack you? ”
Shi Qiang replied: "Report to Your Majesty, when we were still two kilometers away from the coast, on the south side of our troops, a group of warships suddenly rushed out, those warships were very fast, there were almost ten of them, and those warships were equipped with weapons with a fast rate of fire, and they attacked us in a fierce manner. ”
"We immediately fired back after being attacked, but it didn't work, their firepower was very strong, we couldn't suppress it, and then the Nuwa ships behind opened fire to attack those ships, but the Nuwa ships were too far away from them to hit the shells at all, and the Nuwa ships didn't dare to get close, so we could only shoot at them."
"Their bullets are so fierce that they can easily penetrate the guards of the arrows, and many of our brothers have been killed by them."
Lin Fei's heart moved, and he secretly thought, in this way, the Spaniards should be equipped with things like Makqin machine guns and Grimm fast guns on their warships, these things are extremely lethal, I wonder if my Wei battalion commander and staff officers can survive?
