Chapter 1049: The Baptism of War
Three days later, southern Xinjiang.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The artillery fire was in the sky, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the battle officially began!
Lin Hongrui's new regiment received an order to capture the high ground in front within five hours to clear the way for our troops to march behind.
The task was daunting, because on the way to the heights, there were waist-high grass, and they didn't know how many enemies were ambushed inside!
And all they have to do is rush over and make a safe path.
The bugle sounded, and the soldiers of the first battalion took the lead in the charge, throwing the incendiary bombs in their hands forward, burning the grass and revealing the enemy hidden inside.
The battle between guns and fire ignited in an instant!
"Bang bang bang!" "Boom, boom!"
Everyone's ears are full of gunfire, cannons, and the eyes are blocked by artillery fire and gunpowder smoke and dust, because the small wounds caused by artillery fire or friction are directly ignored by the soldiers, as long as the hands and feet are not broken, as long as they are not shot, there is only one belief-
Rush forward! Kill the enemy! Take the high ground!!
In the end, Lin Hongrui and the others successfully completed the task and captured the high ground, however, no one was at ease, because it was bought with blood and life.
"Tap the number of people first! Then the first battalion will help the sanitary soldiers carry the casualties away from here, and the second and third battalions will clean up the battlefield and dig trench......es," the regimental commander gave one order after another.
Lin Hongrui was in the second platoon of the third company of the first battalion, and Qin Tianhao, who had only returned to the team yesterday, heard the order and immediately went to carry the wounded and put them on stretchers.
"Brother, my hands and feet are a little numb now, and my brain is a little wooden." Qin Tianhao said to Lin Hongrui, "Seriously, I didn't feel scared when I charged just now, but now, I am a little scared in my heart, I don't know how I survived just now." ”
Lin Hongrui patted him heavily, and said with a heavy face, "This is the cruelty of war, what we experienced before was just a small fight." ”
Qin Tianhao nodded, looking at the corpse of his comrade-in-arms, he silently shed tears, a baptism of real war seemed to make him mature a lot.
After completing the capture mission, their new regiment did not engage the enemy for the time being, except for the fortification work and the construction of trench defense lines.
At night, except for the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard, the rest of the men carried their guns and slept in the trenches.
"Brother, I can't sleep." Qin Tianhao opened his eyes, looked at Lin Hongrui next to him, and saw that he was not asleep, so he immediately whispered, "Are you the same?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Hongrui nodded, "When I close my eyes, it's all artillery fire, as well as those comrades who are killed and wounded." ”
"Me too." Qin Tianhao leaned closer to him and took out a cigarette from his bag, "Smoke?" ”
Lin Hongrui basically doesn't smoke on weekdays, but this time he didn't refuse, he took out a cigarette and lit it, and spit out a puff of cigarette, which seemed to be able to relieve his tense emotions.
"Brother, we're too frustrated, look at the people's Haizi, sleeping and snoring." Qin Tianhao pointed to a snoring comrade-in-arms in front of him, "It's not affected at all." ”
Lin Hongrui smiled, "He is a veteran here, he has been on the battlefield several times, he is used to this, and in a few days, you will be able to fall asleep." ”
-
Lin Hongrui was right, a week later, after four or five battles, not to mention at night, even when he rested during the day, Qin Tianhao could also grab a grenade and fall asleep.
