Episode 76 The Lone Brigade Walks Alone (16) The soldiers are divided into three routes
The deputy platoon commander born in country Y is really different from the seventh brother born in China, which is not the same in essence, the son of this merchant family, after the war in China, was squeezed out by the people of country Y, he resolutely ran back to China to join the army, in his bones, he still has the bold temper of the people of country Y, the doctor of the clinic wanted to arrest him before, and almost killed him, and now Zhang Wenzhi actually wants to let him go, where will he let go of this Chinese-country-people spy, after killing him, the deputy platoon commander did not feel that he was at fault, thinks that the contradiction with Brother Seven is just a difference in personal opinions.
Seventh brother's morality is famous, Guo Kaiqing and Zhang Wenzhi's words can make him violate the discipline of the army and pull out a reinforced platoon to follow them, which is enough to show, Seventh Brother is not a snob, I wanted to see that the clinic doctor had treated his own back injury, let him go too much, but I didn't expect Zhang Wenzhi and him to think of going together, without waiting for him to intercede, he ordered to release people, what the deputy platoon commander did made him ashamed, what is this called, killing a prisoner who was surrounded like a brown man, it is really criticized, Impatient, in order to complete the task, he still has to continue to work with him, so he came back with his head down.
The gunshots on the road spread far away, and Zhang Wenzhi also heard it in the weeds, so he hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Is it your second brother who is letting people chase you, go out and have a look." ā
When Zhang Wenzhi led the soldiers to run in the direction of the gunshots, Seventh Brother and the deputy platoon commander came back one after another.
"Old Seven, what's the situation over there?"
"It's nothing, the pistol went off," Brother Qi didn't say anything about the deputy platoon commander intercepting and killing the doctor in the clinic.
"Yes, I accidentally the gun and didn't put it away, and it went off," I really didn't expect that the seventh brother didn't tell himself, and the deputy platoon commander showed gratitude.
Two or three days of eating and drinking. The supplies obtained from the enemy company had already been exhausted, and after a battle with Liu Hong, there was a shortage of bullets, and each soldier had almost only one magazine of ammunition.
Originally, there were dozens of people in the reinforced platoon, but now there are about 30 people, but the more than 30 people who survived are all hard hands, and Zhang Wenzhi usually finds a few cadres to hold a meeting, but today he expanded the meeting to form a meeting in which all the people participated.
"For today's attack. I should be mainly responsible, but I still have to praise them, short snipers, without the two of them, I think the chance of everyone breaking through is almost zero, and I will mention yƬ to them, "Since Zhang Wenzhi became the company commander of the 'Zhang Wenzhi Company', he has never praised someone in a meeting. Even when the deputy company commander died in battle, he didn't say anything good, and today, somehow, he began to praise people.
"Yes. Short one, you can't usually see it, how can you two start shooting behind the enemy, tell us how you feel. "A fighter seems to have a bit of a friendship with a short sniper.
"Yes, tell me about it."
"yes, tell me about your experience. Let us also learn and learn," everyone is sitting in a circle among the weeds, it is already early in the morning, everyone is not sleepy, this experience of living in death, naturally to summarize and share.
The short sniper said with a bitter face, "I don't have any combat experience, big brother, he and I are a deserter, it was the second brother who covered us, let us come down from the observation point first, without the second brother, we wouldn't be able to live." ā
"Wow~~~", the sniper who came back with the short sniper cried, "Big brother, this is all the order of the second brother, he asked us to come back and report to you, but I didn't expect you to be surrounded." ā
Zhang Wenzhi didn't want to mention Guo Kaiqing during the meeting, but when he saw that the two comrades-in-arms were crying, he also shed a few tears, "Let's not talk about this first, deputy platoon commander!" ā
"Here!"
"From tomorrow onwards, you are responsible for inquiring about the news of the second brother, you yourself don't come forward, don't let the enemy recognize it, haven't you usually brought a few apprentices, if you have something to ask them to do, by the way, look for it again, where is the enemy's supply storehouse, I have seen it, we should be about to stop."
"It's big brother, please do it, I will definitely be able to handle this."
"Old Seven, how is your waist, do you still need to change the medicine?"
"No need big brother, it's almost fine, what tasks do I have?"
"You are responsible for building fortifications here, I don't think your second brother can go too far, if we leave here rashly, it will be difficult to find him."
"Big brother, aren't you afraid that Liu Hong will come to us again tomorrow?"
"It's dark under the lights, he must have expected that we were leaving here, no way, fight this one, just treat it as if he won't come," Zhang Wenzhi has his thoughts, he is still concerned about the comrades who died in the 'base camp', they were all sacrificed at night, why don't you find a chance to go back and bury it.
After arranging the guard post, everyone fell asleep in the weeds.
The next day, he found two shrewd and capable soldiers, tore off their collar badges, disguised themselves as Y national soldiers, and asked them to go to the town to inquire about the situation, while he himself stayed on the way and waited for the letter.
After breakfast, the seventh brother took the soldiers to do further 'repair' on the weeds, the fortifications are mainly based on deep ditches, digging tunnels, this tunnel is in the weeds, after digging, covered with soil, do a good job of camouflage, it forms a row of 'underground hidden parts', this work was done for a whole day, when the seventh brother wanted to report to Zhang Wenzhi, Zhang Wenzhi disappeared.
"Where is the eldest brother, have you all seen it?"
"No, I didn't see him when I got up early in the morning, I thought I was going to repair the fortifications with you," the soldier in charge of watching the pile also saw no trace of Zhang Wenzhi.
"He walked alone?"
"Looks like there's a short one."
As soon as the seventh brother thought that Zhang Wenzhi still had someone to accompany him, he was relieved, after last night's battle, he had already seen that this short sniper was a natural killer, guns cost lives, and the tactical action is very strong, he acts like an ape, Zhang Wenzhi has his protection, there should be no problem.
In the afternoon, the deputy platoon commander led the two apprentices to come back, and they also brought a lot of ready-made food, and the news from them was that Liu Hong had left with someone early, saying that there was an emergency, and the fat man was walking with him, and there were no soldiers from the army of country Y in the town except for a few militiamen.
Just when everyone was worried about Zhang Wenzhi, Zhang Wenzhi and the short sniper also came back, and as soon as they saw them, the seventh brother stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, you are in a hurry with me, where have you been, and you don't say hello in advance." ā
"I led him to our original 'base camp' to have a look, and I wanted to see the bodies of my comrades," Zhang Wenzhi's expression was very indifferent.
"What happened to our corpses with these bastards?" The deputy platoon commander's eyes widened.
"It's nothing, when we got there, the battlefield was all cleaned up, the bodies of our comrades-in-arms had been buried, my eldest brother and I opened a grave bag, and the comrades-in-arms' things were not moved, and the submachine guns were buried," the expression of the short sniper was also very indifferent.
"It seems that Liu Hong, this kid still has a bit of a conscience, and he is also a Chinese-Chinese," Seventh Brother agreed with Liu Hong's approach, he had heard the story about Liu Hong, which had long been spread in the army.
"How's your second brother looking?"
"There's still no news, but we've heard from the townspeople that no one of ours has been captured, so he and the pillar should have escaped."
"Thankfully, as long as there's no bad news."
After the systematic study of the three officers, everyone still thought that the first thing was to find Guo Kaiqing, and several nearby towns were very large, and it was not convenient for everyone to look for them together, for the sake of convenience, Zhang Wenzhi decided that the troops would be divided into three groups, and the three officers would each bring a group of people to attack and harass the enemy's small and scattered units.
According to the deputy platoon commander's one-day visit, it was found that there was a supply depot of country Y in a neighboring town, where most of the logistics equipment of country Y was placed, all of which were military uniforms, bedding, towels and other small things.
"I want to be shorter, big brother, you have to give him to me," the deputy platoon commander's request was not too excessive, his own military qualities were average, so he had to find a strong hand to support him, this short sniper's marksmanship, he had seen it.
"Okay, then he'll be yours, but you have to be careful, don't send everyone to the front, leave some behind," the deputy platoon commander inquired, it's okay to explore the way, if he is really asked to carry out a military mission, Zhang Wenzhi is still not worried about his ability.
"I see, I'll have to keep some hands on it."
The task of the seventh brother is to go to a certain town government to get some vehicles, this job is quite easy, but there are militia guards, and he can't be taken lightly, under Zhang Wenzhi's entrustment, he also led people to set off.
Seeing that the two passers-by had already left, Zhang Wenzhi gathered his own people, "Let's go to the prisoner of war camp to find out the situation, this is a very difficult task, not only the road is far away, but the enemy is heavily guarded, I just want to see if this place can be fought, if not, let's think of other ways, listen to my orders, bring supplies, march at night, camp during the day, and set off." ā
"Yes!"
After the three pullers left, the 'underground hidden department' in the weeds became the base camp of the troops, where there were two watchers, and they were both two snipers, one was the deputy squad leader in the platoon, and the other was the sniper who carried out the mission with Guo Kaiqing.
