Chapter 178: Duties of Political Workers

Gu Shoufu was naturally very disappointed with the performance of his subordinates, but he didn't show it on his face, anyway, as long as the frontal attacking troops could attract the enemy's main force, even if they had a negative attitude, they could be regarded as completing the task. However, when the troops on both flanks of the devil were outflanked in place, they had just advanced not far, and the Japanese troops on the left flank were immediately hit by the artillery of the 2nd regiment, and the commander of this group of devils was more cautious, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops after realizing that they could not do anything, so the losses were not too big, but the Japanese troops on the right flank thought that they had seized the opportunity, and all of them rushed towards the position of the 2nd regiment with all their strength, 1,500 meters, 1,000 meters, 800 meters, and 600 meters, and they were getting closer and closer to the front of the enemy's position

"Hit!" , with the half of the battalion that had just descended to the left flank (in fact, with reinforcements, the strength of the battalion had exceeded 500 at this time, close to a whole battalion. Lin Shu, the political commissar of the regiment sitting in the town, gave an order, and a large number of machine guns and grenadiers that had just moved to the left flank position of the 2nd regiment finally got the opportunity to pour firepower

"Ahh , The captain of the Japanese army on the right flank was also injured by a grenade that fell to his side, and half of his body was soaked, but this old devil still stubbornly did not close his eyes, and before losing consciousness, he gave the order for the whole team to charge to the death, "For the sake of the emperor Bixia, advance!" ”

"Onboard!" "Onboard!" The devils, who were already red-eyed because of their own unprecedented casualties, suddenly felt like they had taken a stimulant, and they all rushed towards the left flank position of the 2nd Regiment with red eyes and a wild roar

"It was so good today! If the devils are all dead like this. Not to mention that the standard for ace shooters is 30, even if it is 50, it is not difficult. ", a veteran grinned in between the barrel changes of the machine gun, he has already knocked down at least twenty devils today, and will destroy many more, if he can continue to live

However, not every soldier was so calm, and some of the recruits who only enlisted after the war in North China could not bear the psychological pressure caused by the "onboard" charge of the devils. Many people's hands were so shaky that they couldn't even pull the trigger, and there were even more people who shrank their heads into the trenches and fired their guns indiscriminately into the sky. As the devil strikers got closer and closer to their positions, the psychological pressure on the fighters increased. Fortunately, most of the machine gunners were veterans who had experienced the War of Resistance in North China, and their psychological endurance was much better, so on the whole, the firepower of the left flank position of the 2nd Regiment did not drop much. But even so. The devils still managed to rush to within 200 meters at the cost of huge casualties.

At this time, the original 1,500 people of the devil brigade was less than a thousand, and most of the survivors were wounded, but at this distance, the power of the devil's machine guns, rifles and grenadiers was fully exerted, and after a while, the machine gunners of the 2nd Regiment were killed or wounded by one-third, and the momentum of the devil's decisive charge became more and more terrifying with the closer distance, and there were even some of the recruits of the 2nd Regiment who turned around and fled for their lives, and the rapidly amplified panic even affected some veterans, and the accuracy of shooting dropped very much, And the devils who found that the opponent's firepower was weakened were even more morale-boosted. Even some of the guys who were already disabled to the point of being inhuman actually returned to the light and roared wildly and "squirmed" forward with their lives

Seeing this, Lin Shu, the political commissar of the 2nd Regiment, was about to personally lead the team to counterattack the charge, but the instructor of a certain company on the position dissuaded him, saying, "The document issued by the military commander said that commanders above the battalion level are not allowed to take the lead in the charge."

"Lao Tzu is a political worker, not a commander! Start from Jiangxi. It is the tradition of our 15th Army that the political commissar leads the charge, you know a fart! It's the party members, follow me! Knock the little devil back! Political commissar Lin Shu pushed it away, shouted and took the lead in rushing out of the trench, and with a wave of twenty rings in his hand, he immediately knocked down a devil who rushed in front. Be motivated by it. The soldiers who were once a little shaken rushed out of the trenches and launched a counter-charge, the morale of the commanders and fighters of the 2nd Regiment on the left flank position was greatly boosted, and the soldiers who were once flustered before also regained their composure, and soon after, the regiment commander Yang Botao personally led the spy company to help, and the decisive charge launched by the devil was finally beaten back, but at this time, Lin Shu, the political commissar of the 2nd Regiment, had died of his injuries and died gloriously...,

"No wonder those old political workers always like to call us 'semi-finished products' when they were in class, it seems that I have a lot to learn", the instructor also hung up in the battle, but after the battle was basically over, he still insisted on walking to Lin Shu's body and solemnly saluted him, he was deeply educated in this battle, and then quickly grew into an excellent political worker, and also fulfilled the duties of a political worker with his own life

It is worth mentioning that there was also an episode in this battle, although the enemy had already suffered most of the casualties when approaching, because Yang Botao adopted the method of "concentrating the forces on the front and the firepower on the two flanks" when deploying the troops. When the Japanese army entered the position, the machine gun fire was thrown into the trap for fear of accidental injury, and although the 24-type rifle was very fierce, once it was forced to fight with the enemy in close combat, because its length was not as good as the 38-type rifle, the commanders and fighters of the 2nd regiment suffered a lot when fighting with the devil with bayonets, and the devil's numerical advantage was suddenly revealed, and the situation was very critical for a while. However, at this time, there were still more than 100 elite soldiers on this position who were idle, and they had not received the combat mission, so they specially sent representatives to ask the supreme military commander on the position, a deputy battalion commander named Wu Xiuwen, to participate in the battle

"Comrade battalion commander, we ask to take part in the battle." , 3 Japanese soldiers who were not tall habitually bowed to Wu Xiuwen and said in barely fluent Chinese.

"Well, your grenadiers hit very well, and they helped us a lot." , Wu Xiuwen reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said perfunctorily, but he said in his heart, "What are you kidding?" Now there are only more than 200 Chinese here, if these more than 100 'devils' get guns and turn back"

Anyway, Wu Xiuwen is in a bad mood now, due to the regulations of the military commander, in order to prevent no one from presiding over the position, he, the military commander, can only honestly stay in the position and command, but the political commissar of the regiment who came down here led the team to kill and fight with the devil, and before leaving, he specially asked his guards to take care of himself, which made Wu Xiuwen feel 120,000 points aggrieved, so Wu Xiuwen's face was naturally not too good-looking. And in the eyes of the three Japanese soldiers with special and extremely sensitive identities, this is naturally the proof that the battalion commander does not believe them (to be continued......
