On January 17, 1917, the Western Expeditionary Army launched a fierce attack on the Allied forces led by Britain and the United States on a long front of 200 kilometers in the border area between Iran and Iraq, and the Iraq Campaign broke out. The two sides of the battle invested more than 3 million troops, and the scale of the battle was no less than that of the Battle of the Somme in the European theater.

As soon as the battle began, the Western Expeditionary Army concentrated more than 2,800 artillery pieces, more than 3,000 mortars, and dispatched more than 500 planes to launch a fierce bombardment of the positions of the British and American forces.

On the forward position of the Chinese Army near Hanel in Iraq, a soldier's eyes widened in surprise as he filled the enemy position.

Just when the soldier was stunned, a big hand suddenly stretched out next to him, and pulled the soldier into the trench, and a gloomy face appeared in front of the young soldier, "Dong Biao, you don't want to fucking live, do you?" What to see, what to see, you are watching here, maybe a cannonball will fall, and you will be sent directly to the Lord of Yama to report. ”

"Squad leader! I'm just curious. Dong Biao didn't care about wiping the saliva all over his face, and Xingzi said timidly.

"This is the battlefield, do you understand it, curiosity may make you lose your life!" The class leader said angrily.

At this moment, a cannonball landed nearby, exploding violently, the ears of the two people were buzzing with the violent explosion sound, and the dust kicked up by the blast wave made the two of them instantly become natives. The squad leader straightened the helmet on his head and shouted loudly, "See, if the shell just now is moving a few meters forward, both of us will be finished, what are you doing in a daze, hurry into the anti-artillery hole!" ”

"What~! I can't hear what you say! Dong Biao shook his head blankly and said, although the squad leader's voice was already very loud, but because of the explosion just now. Dong Biao was temporarily deaf and couldn't hear what the squad leader said.

Seeing that Dong Biao couldn't hear, the squad leader pulled Dong Biao up and dragged him directly into a cat's ear hole next to him, which was small and narrow, but it could effectively prevent the enemy's shelling, so it was widely used in the Chinese army. The two men squeezed into the cat's ear hole and immediately filled the entire hole.

"What did you just say, squad leader?" Dong Biao shook his groggy head and said loudly.

"I said this is a battlefield, and curiosity could kill you kid! Didn't you hear the explosion outside, this is all heavy artillery, and you can't even have a bone residue left in your small body when you shoot down! The class leader shouted.

"Squad leader, you don't need to speak so loudly. I can hear it! Dong Biao shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lao Tzu has such a loud voice, how can he not be convinced!" The squad leader said angrily.

"Convincing! Of course! If it weren't for you, the squad leader, my little life might be gone, thank you squad leader. Dong Biao said with a smile.

"Thanks! You are all Lao Tzu's soldiers, it is natural for me to protect you, if you are all dead, then I will not become the leader of the light pole squad? The squad leader said with great difficulty, taking out a pack of cigarettes and a pack of matches from his pocket. handed Dong Biao one casually and said with a smile, "How about it, let's have one!" ”

"I don't smoke." Dong Biao waved his hand and said.

"Suck two and you're done. How can a manly man not smoke. The squad leader said and gave Dong Biao a cigarette.

Dong Biao took the cigarette with a smile, lit it and took a puff, Dong Biao really didn't smoke, only took a small puff. I couldn't help but cough.

"Haha~! How's that, let's smoke it! The squad leader said with a smug smile.

"It's not good at all!" Dong Biao said honestly.

"You'll get used to smoking two more, and even if I don't let you smoke at that time, you'll rush to smoke it." The squad leader said with a smile.

"Squad leader. When are we going to attack? Dong Biao asked curiously.

"Attack? Who knows! When it's time to attack, the higher authorities will naturally scare the order, so we just wait here with peace of mind. But according to this posture, it is early! The squad leader said as he smoked a cigarette.

"Oh~!" Dong Biao nodded honestly, raised the cigarette in his hand to his mouth, and took another puff like the squad leader.

"What's wrong, are you scared?" The squad leader asked with a smile.

"Scared? Squad leader, don't look down on people, how can I be afraid! Dong Biao said unconvinced.

"Okay, you're a good kid! It's a material for war! The squad leader smiled with satisfaction and said, "The first time I went to the battlefield, it was good to have a table like you, I think when I first went to the battlefield, I was almost scared to pee my pants, so!" Even if you're really scared, there's nothing to be ashamed of. ”

"Really!" Dong Biao couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect the squad leader to have such a shameful past!" ”

"You're looking for a beating, aren't you?" The squad leader said angrily, "I sue you, the first time you go to the battlefield, no matter what you look like, it's not a shame, do you think the war is really like a movie?" That's all a lie? The real war is much more brutal than in the movies. I remember when we first went to the battlefield, there were three recruits in our class, and because we joined the army together, we had a good relationship. I remember that the three of us were sitting in the trench chatting, a shell suddenly fell, and the shrapnel flew directly cut off half of Lao Wang's head, bright red blood, and the brains of the white flowers splashed me and Lao Wu all over the face, Lao Wu was scared to pee his pants at that time, I was better than Lao Wu, and I endured it before I peed my pants, but I was also scared stupid at the time, and then we were forced by our old squad leader to hide in the anti-artillery hole, which saved this little life. ”

"And what happened to that old Wu later?" Dong Biao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"How's it going? How could it be! Lao Wu was frightened and peed his pants directly, until someone next to him came to pull him, he woke up, but at this time Lao Wu was already frightened and completely lost his mind, shouting that I want to go home, struggling to run back, none of the comrades next to him did not pay attention, he ran out of the trench, but a shell fell, Lao Wu did not even fall a corpse. The squad leader shook his head and said.

"It's so miserable!" Dong Biao sighed and said.

"The casualty rate of recruits on the battlefield is much higher than that of veterans, why is it because recruits have no experience, but as long as they go through two or three big battles, as long as they can live, recruits will become veterans!" The squad leader said with a sigh.

"Squad leader, you've been fighting for so long, you should have accumulated a lot of life-saving tricks! Teach me! Dong Biao said with a look of longing. (To be continued......)
