Episode 89 Mighty and Majestic (5) Coordinated Operations
On this night of "Baoshan", it was particularly lively, and fierce battles were going on on the originally quiet mountain beams, and the three infantry companies of the second battalion of a certain regiment were all stationed on the positions of the fourth company, and their machine gun company was also on top, and the commander of the second battalion and the headquarters of the second battalion arrived later, because the position of the sixth company had been lost, and his battalion headquarters was separated between the two mountains.
"What's the situation?" As soon as the commander of the second battalion of a certain regiment went up to the concealment department of the fourth company, he asked the commanders of the three companies under him for details.
"This is already the ninth offensive launched by the enemy, and the casualties of our troops are very large, and each company has almost lost a platoon of personnel," the instructor of the fourth company was in charge of counting the personnel, and caring for the wounded, who reported the number of dead to the commander of the second battalion.
"Report to the battalion commander, we have run out of shells," the commander of the second artillery company also told the situation of his company, it turned out that due to the fierce fighting, the enemy almost rushed to the mountains several times, and if it were not for the support of artillery and mortars, the position would have been preserved.
"How's the machine gun company?" The commander of the second battalion had to ask his troops about the consumption of ammunition one by one.
"There are still two boxes of heavy machine gun ammunition, we were not very sufficient, so we were waiting for supplies to come up, there are a lot of ammunition for anti-aircraft machine guns, and there are about eighty percent." The commander of the second machine company also reported the actual situation of their company to the commander of the second battalion.
"Okay, the phone line hasn't been broken, has it?"
"It's not broken, this line is thrown behind the mountain, it won't break," the fourth company commander answered the second battalion commander's question.
"Okay, I'll report to the regimental commander, you guys will prepare for each other first, and wait for the enemy's next attack," the second battalion commander walked to the telephone.
"Yes!" Everyone walked out of the hidden part and went about their own business.
After answering the call from the commander of the second battalion, the chief of staff of a certain regiment walked to the side of the commander of a certain regiment, "The artillery shells in the second battalion are gone, and the heavy machine gun ammunition is almost running out, he said if he can send them some." ”
The head of a certain regiment did not reply directly. At present, he only has the reconnaissance company and the guard platoon at his disposal, and if they are allowed to deliver ammunition to the second operation, the regimental headquarters will be empty.
"Let's go and deliver ammunition to the second battalion!" Seeing that the head of a certain regiment was slow to speak, Liu Dart also took into account his actual difficulties, originally they were given to others, and this would just be able to send them a child.
"Then how can you be embarrassed, you are all guests," said the chief of staff of a certain regiment with a wry smile.
"What's embarrassing, I'll tell you the truth, don't look at the guys we all have in our hands. But there are no live ammunition, if you are generous, give us a few boxes of bullets, it will be counted as payment," the commander of the third company told the truth, their third company is now on the soldiers' bodies, basically there are not a few bullets, all the magazines are empty, saying that there are a few bullets. It's all sniper's bullets, and that's not enough to stuff your teeth.
"That's okay, what's not going to work. You can take as much ammunition as you want, and we have a lot of ammunition here, so we can report it and ask for it. "The chief of staff of a certain regiment readily agreed when he saw that the third company had put forward his own request.
That's it. All the personnel of the third company, after opening the ammunition box that originally belonged to a certain regiment, pressed the bullets on their own guns, and did not forget to fill the empty magazine on their chests with bullets.
"Go Luo, the road is a little farther, but everyone work hard, victory will always belong to us!"
Liu Dart took the lead in carrying a box of bullets on the road, the straight-line distance between the regimental headquarters and the fourth company was already very far, and the road was not easy to walk, it was all twists and turns, and under the guidance of the staff officers of two regiments, the third company also set off.
After many months of systematic training, coupled with the arrangements made by the commanders of the third company on a case-by-case basis, the units with the entire platoon as a formed unit were able to transport ammunition very quickly, and no one was left behind, which Liu Dart could not have imagined.
After a unified rest time, a unified restart, and after the repetition of three rest points, finally all the ammunition was carried to the position of the second battalion of a certain regiment.
"Thank you so much, how can I thank you," after another tense defense, the enemy's tenth attack was repulsed, if Liu Dart did not come with the third company, they would have been 'out of ammunition and food', the second battalion commander held Liu Dart's hand tightly, and his gratitude could not be expressed.
Where did Liu Dart see such a scene, he said in an excited voice, "It's all my own people, this is what we should do, by the way, I saw you fight, on the top of your regimental headquarters, you are all very brave, I admire you so much!" ”
"Wherever and where, whoever comes is the same, whoever comes is the same," the second battalion commander carried out his unique modest way without paying attention, and his heart was still sweet, and everyone loved to hear this kind word.
Liu Dart saw that the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of a certain regiment were repairing the fortifications, so he shouted at the commander of the third company, "Don't rest, help others do some work, you won't die of exhaustion!" ”
The commander of the third company naturally knew Liu Dart's intentions, this was a good learning opportunity, and it was a personal experience for the soldiers to help the friendly troops build trenches, so he ordered, "Each platoon is a platoon unit, find the right elephant by itself, learn from the big brother of the family, and we will have to do the same in the future!" ”
With the concerted efforts of the two armies, within a short period of time, all the defensive facilities had been renovated, and in the interval between repairs, the soldiers of the third company also helped the personnel of the second battalion of a certain regiment to tie up stretchers, and it seemed that they were going to carry down their seriously wounded comrades.
The sacrificed people naturally don't have to be sent away immediately, but the wounded who are seriously injured and need to be treated immediately will also bring a new task to Liu Dart who went back.
The simple stretchers are made of temporary binding of trees, and the ropes used are everyone's 'backpack belts', but fortunately, there are not many seriously injured, and everyone takes turns to carry them, and they go down the mountain beam.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, you have done us a great favor, now that this battle is fought, the regiment commander does not dare to send any more manpower, the medical team is behind the first battalion, let's go that way," a staff officer of a certain regiment led Liu Dart, and they turned at the three-way intersection.
"The dare medical team is not at the regiment headquarters? Far away? Liu Dart strode ahead, today he did not carry a submachine gun, only a pistol pinned to his waist.
"It's not far, it's going to be there in a while, it's going to be there in a while," in order to dispel everyone's perception that 'it's a long way', the staff officer said vigorously, 'It's not too far.' ’
Not too far, he walked for nearly an hour, when the defense line of the first battalion was passed, Liu Dart was startled, only to see that everyone in the first battalion was standing on the mountain beam, and the only passage was the path that could only accommodate one person to enter and exit, which made him think of the words 'one person should be the pass, ten thousand people are not open', they did not stop, they passed through the beam, and finally put the seriously wounded in the tent of the medical team.
In order to reward the friendly feelings of the third company, the young female soldiers of the medical team specially boiled a pot of thin rice soup for everyone.
A beautiful female military doctor walked to Liu Dart's side, although she was not as beautiful as Liu Xuehua, but she was also very moving, "Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, come to a bowl, drink it while it's hot, warm your stomach." ”
Liu Dart was not a good bird in the first place, seeing this scene, he hurriedly took the rice soup in his hand, and he also touched the female military doctor with his big hand by the way, "This thing is good, this thing is good, this border area, it's tide at night, drink it just right, drink it just right." ”
Since there were not enough bowls for rice soup, the soldiers had to drink a bowl for several people, and they drank happily and happily.
Walking on the way back to the headquarters of a certain regiment, Liu Dart was very proud, he thought that he was still attractive, at least several young female soldiers 'flew eyes' at him.
"I said deputy battalion commander, it's okay, don't forget to soak the little girl when you help," the relationship between the commander of the third company and Liu Dart is very good, and the two have basically reached the point where they have nothing to talk about.
"What is the blindness, the soldiers are listening, I am taking the initiative to mingle with my comrades, people are enthusiastic about you, if you can do it coldly, people are enthusiastic, you have to be more enthusiastic than others, learn from my brother in the future, but you have to remember it for me, it's okay to itch, but don't come to it, you really made a big mistake," Liu Dart held his pistol holster with one hand, and waved his arm naturally, as if nothing had happened tonight.
"Knock knock!"
Just as they were approaching the bottom of the hill at the regimental headquarters, they could only hear the explosion of mortar shells on the high mountain of the regimental headquarters.
"Hide, hide!" The commander of the third company roared and instructed everyone to take shelter in all directions.
The shells hit the mountain, not Liu Dart, and after lying on the ground for a while, Liu Dart asked the staff officer of a certain regiment beside him, "What's going on?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, nothing like this has ever happened before, not good, you listen, and the sound of gunfire," a certain regimental staff officer has been working at the regiment headquarters, and they have never been attacked by the enemy.
"Horn Horn Horn!"
"Horn Horn Horn!"
The battle on the hill began halfway up the mountain, and it was the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who stopped the Y Army on the hill, the commander of a certain regiment was on the front line, and his guard platoon was on the last line of defense, which was where their regimental headquarters were located.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Liu, the enemy has already attacked our regiment headquarters, you guys hurry up, if it's a little later, our regiment commander and they will be finished!" The taste of begging for people is not very pleasant, but the staff officer of this regiment still pleaded with Liu Dart to send troops in a miserable voice.
"Third Company Commander, what do you see, are these enemies easy to fight?" Liu Dart was not in a hurry to make plans, he wanted to ask the third company commander for his opinion, after all, these soldiers must be his.
"It's hard to say, but you can go and see if they have any backup, I'll take a platoon up first, if they don't have many people, we'll take them first, deputy battalion commander, what do you think?" The commander of the third company directly said his own fighting style, because he knew that this was a battle that had to be fought, and the enemy had bullied him to the doorstep.
