The 142nd Bloody Trip to the Border (43) Commander of the Artillery Company (Middle)

On the battlefield, Xu Rong was not the only one who had a hunch, almost everyone was looking forward to getting darker and slower, so that everyone could start preparing for the fortifications and think more about countermeasures.

This is a very unremarkable position, the frontal defense line of sight is about a few hundred meters of the boundary, but the personnel on the position, there are as many as five or six hundred people, in addition to three or four hundred people are the infantry battalion defense troops, the machine gun company also let the infantry battalion commander arrange to the highest part of the position, because there is more to play the advantages of machine guns.

From the first trench to the top of the mountain, that is, a straight-line distance of more than 200 meters, Xu Rong's squad was arranged on the right by the commander of the artillery company.

"Don't sleep, get up, dig a pit for Lao Tzu," After the meeting from the company commander, Xu Rong woke up everyone, the time is getting more and more urgent, and the new gun position is not grounded.

"I said squad leader, didn't you say that the place was very good just now, why did you change positions again?" The deputy squad leader and veteran thought about it for a long time, and also thought that Xu Rong's choice was right, but now when he saw Xu Rong bring everyone to the right side of the position, he didn't understand.

"I can't stop the damn if I'm dizzy, people won't let us stay there, we are all quick with our hands and feet, dig quickly, dig quickly," the soil here is not good, the soil is mixed with a lot of stones, Xu Rong jumped into the trench first, and it didn't take long to dig an S-shaped hole.

Xu Rong's life-saving kung fu, of course, the whole class is very convinced, in order to learn the true biography of the class leader, everyone has sacrificed their spare time for many days, specializing in S-shaped pit excavation, Xu Rong has also used his brain for several days, inferring back and forth analysis, and after the most Lu he has developed a rice-shaped digging method, which is considered to be on the basis of the S-shaped digging method, and it has reached a higher level.

"Everyone is not afraid to dig slowly. Pick out all the stones for me and throw them down the mountain, "The existence of stones often hurts you by mistake, Xu Rong thinks very long-term."

Since the last battle to the death, all classes have learned the fur of Xu Rong's burrowing, and after the company commander has assigned the area, the artillery company has the whole company, including the company commander and platoon commanders. They all started to do it, and they were in full swing.

"Battalion commander, do you see if the artillery company is sick, what are they all busy with?" The officers and men of the infantry battalion, after digging the fortifications, were watching the people of the artillery company digging, and at this time it was already evening, and the fire clouds unique to the south rose in the sky.

It was also the first time that the machine gun company had worked in tandem with the artillery company. They hadn't usually been together, let alone where they knew what these madmen were doing, but the anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the hill had been set up, and there were a few heavy machine guns not far down. Further down is the artillery company's no artillery.

"Attention to the companies, the enemy is assembled at the foot of the hill," the infantry battalion commander's 'base camp' concealment is located in the middle of the position. He could see it clearly through the camouflage net.

"Battalion commander, don't we need to serve them," the commander of the artillery company felt that the enemy's assembly area had reached the range of mortars.

"So far. Can you get it right? ”

"Almost, don't you try to know the way."

"Okay, then you can try two shots."

"Okay."

"You go and ask Xu Rong and their squad to shoot first," the commander of the artillery company was greedy, he thought that the ammunition was very sufficient, so he ordered the messenger to give orders.

"The company commander told you to go down the mountain and shoot first."

"Shoot a shot, yes, it's so far away, I said squad deputy, can we fight?" Xu Rong is a pure amateur in artillery shooting, and it is okay to ask him to hit a close target, but if he hits so far, he will definitely have no bottom in his heart.

"It's a little hard to fight, by the way, didn't you go to the old platoon first?" The platoon commander of Xu Rong's platoon is a college graduate, and if he is there, he will definitely be able to get it right.

"I didn't find anyone, so I came directly to you after that, anyway, my words have arrived, and it's your business whether to fight or not."

After the correspondent left, Xu Rong thought for a while, "Are you sure you can beat them?" ”

"This mortar is a drop-off cannon, it's not easy for us to fight if we are condescending, if we change places, it's okay."

"So where can you fight?"

"Over there," the deputy squad leader pointed to the pile of stones not far from them.

"Okay, listen to the whole class, over there, bring two shells over first," Since the company commander gave the order, it was natural to shoot a shot, Xu Rongban turned to the position of the stone pile and set up a mortar.

"Look at the place you picked, look at the back of this, it's all cliffs, fortunately it's not dark yet, or you have to slip down."

"Squad leader, the gun mount is ready."

"Let the deputy squad leader come."

Just when the soldiers of country Y were all on standby, suddenly a mortar shell fell from the mountain, although it did not fall to the center of the large army, but it was not far away, only a 'bang' was heard, everyone was blown up, and reflexively lay on the ground, and after these people understood, they lifted their wounded companions and retreated.

"Hey, it's really yours, so you can hit it," a straight-line distance of several hundred meters, the perspective of the dark, the cannon of the deputy squad leader and the veteran, the shot was quite accurate, and when he was about to hit the second one, Xu Rong stopped him and ordered everyone to retreat to the same place.

"Why did you only shoot one shot, I said the commander of the artillery company, don't you say that you want to shoot two shots," the infantry battalion commander was very satisfied with the shell that Xu Rong and they fired, if the second one also fell into the pile of enemy soldiers, it would definitely cause a large number of casualties.

"I'm sorry battalion commander, my soldier is obedient, I just ordered him to shoot a cannon first, and they will shoot a cannon, this is not neat," Xu Rongban's performance made the artillery company commander even more talkative.

The assembly area of the troops of country Y has retreated more than 100 meters, and even if the infantry battalion commander looks at the enemy with a telescope, and the weather is getting dark, that is, he can only see some black spots, this time he is relieved, it seems that the enemy will not attack for a while and a half.

"Squad leader, why did you say that the squad deputy was so accurate, or let me shoot too."

"Get out, what's a good thing, continue to dig holes for Lao Tzu," Xu Rong can't forget to dig holes as long as he has time, at this time his cave is already intricate, extending to the side of the cliff, because he knows that if you want to knock down the enemy, use the cannon is the position of the stone pile, and only there, can you effectively use artillery fire to kill and injure the enemy, but you have to be careful in the movement, otherwise you will accidentally fall under the mountain.

"Deputy squad, you said that the squad leader wants us to dig this thing, can we use it, I heard the company commander say that we will withdraw tomorrow."

"It's their business to retreat, anyway, as long as you want to live, you have to dig hard for me, anyway, I'm serving Lao Xu, without him, I would have gone back to my grandmother's house a long time ago."

After it was completely dark, the enemy also launched a few small-scale attacks in the dark, but these attacks had nothing to do with Xu Rong and them, and the key to dealing with the enemy who came up directly was to use no artillery, so Xu Rong ordered a few people with submachine guns in their hands to guard outside, but they were not allowed to shoot, unless the enemy had rushed up, they were allowed to shoot, and the people in the artillery company were treated with only a few magazines for each person, which was the only ammunition for their trip, and you had already run out, that is, it was gone, and the infantry battalion would not thank you, and will not rush to replenish your ammunition.

In order to adapt to the soil quality of various places, they also brought some pressed beds to 'lay boards', these boards are made of solid wood, and the toughness is enough, as long as he encounters the soil that is easy to sink, he will use it to support one, and when it is not enough, he will also use a large stone to block it, so as to facilitate the freedom of entry and exit.

The gunshots and cannons outside completely made the people in Xu Rong's class indifferent, and when they didn't have the strength to continue digging, Xu Rong asked everyone to lie down in the tunnel first, and he checked again.

"Ouch", when the commander of the artillery company moved to the gun position of Xu Rong and his squad, he fell into the "grenade ditch" that Xu Rong had dug in advance, this ditch was also invented by Xu Rong, if the enemy has a big arm to throw bombs in, if someone sees it, they will kick the grenade that did not explode into the ditch with their feet, although this time should be hurried, there is a great danger, but this is also a helpless move, it is far better than letting the grenade explode so unstoppable.

"What about people, give it to Lao Tzu," the commander of the artillery company was angry and hateful, and when he saw that there was no one on the gun position, he scolded.

"This, this," Xu Rong got out of a tunnel, and when he saw the company commander fall into the 'grenade ditch', he immediately called the two big men in the squad and pulled the company commander up from the ditch.

"I said, what are you all busy with?"

"Report to the company commander, we are digging a tunnel."

"What time is it, you haven't dug it yet."

"You just come with me and take a look," the time had reached more than three o'clock in the second half of the night, according to the early time of dawn in the south, it was about to dawn, Xu Rong led the commander of the artillery company into the tunnel, and moved to the side of the stone pile.

"Look, company commander, this is where our squad fired the first shell, but you have to be careful, there is a cliff behind it."

"It's really yours, so you can think of it, by the way, how many of these gun positions have you prepared?"

"At the moment there are only three, and we still have seven shells in our class, I think three gun positions must be enough."

"Very good, that's it, by the way, did you dig the ditch I fell into just now?"

"It was our squad leader to prevent grenades, but I didn't expect the grenade to come, but you fell in."

"Hahaha."

"Knock knock~~". Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery all around.

"It's not good, company commander, come in," Xu Rong commanded everyone to enter the tunnel to hide, and the commander of the artillery company didn't wait for a reaction, so he let Xu Rong pull in.

"Company commander, it's not good, you listen to this cannon, it doesn't look like a mortar."

"Yes, it should be field artillery," the tunnel dug by Xu Rongban, according to the terrain and terrain, as long as it can be used, he has used it, although the artillery fire outside is fierce, but they can't blow them up, the enemy of country Y has transferred a lot of field howitzers from nowhere, this position has become their artillery range, and our army has suffered heavy casualties.
