Chapter 14: The Killing (3)
I looked up a little weakly, and what I saw was the face of a middle-aged man with a little vicissitudes, it was our platoon commander, and we usually called him Old William. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"First killing?" It was clear that he had seen my performance before, so he asked with concern as the cannon fire subsided.
"Uh...... Yes...... For the first time, I stood firm under his strong support, and then I replied gratefully.
Old William patted me on the shoulder and said, "As a rookie who is on the battlefield for the first time, you are already good. He smiled and continued, "At least you didn't pee your pants when you heard the sound of the cannons." With these words, a kettle was handed to me: "Rinse your mouth and drink some more." ”
Taking the kettle, I grinned at him, and you have to admit that having a platoon commander like this is really reassuring. After taking a few sips of water and shaking my slightly dizzy head, I handed the kettle back and asked, "Platoon commander, when was the first time you went to battle?" ”
"Well, that was a long time ago......" He took the kettle and pinned it to his waist, looked at me again, and made sure I was okay, then turned and walked towards the blast trench: "I'll tell you those stories when I have time, and now, it's time to prepare for the next battle." ”
"Yes!" I hurriedly followed him, and now was indeed not a good time to chat.
Soon, we were back in our respective firing positions again, and at this time, the sky was also white, and the long night finally passed.
I looked intently in the direction of the Federation Army, and found that there was no movement there, which was not surprising, after all, the Federation Army was also a human being, and it was time to rest for so long that it had been continuously attacking; What's more, there are almost 300 stupid big men left behind in the minefield in front of the position, which is enough for them to hurt for a while.
Retracting my gaze, I relaxed a little to make myself lie on my stomach a little easier, and in my headphones, the voice of the company commander also came: "It seems that the Federation is going to rest for a while, everyone can also take a rest, the cooking class will bring you food later, I am full, today will be very long!" ”
The company commander's words drew a small cheer in the communication channel, and it seemed that many people were hungry, and I realized that my empty stomach really needed something to fill it.
The hot food was quickly delivered, and we quickly gobbled it into our stomachs, and the master of the cooking class walked back and forth in the trench with a smile on his face, adding a full spoonful to the bowl of everyone who was not enough, and the aroma of food permeated this trench that was loosened by shells and trampled by military boots, there was a wonderful sense of disobedience, but it was not abrupt.
The glow of the stars of the Cancer galaxy came through the smoke and began to bring a touch of warmth to the planet, and the master had already put away everyone's bowls and prepared to leave the trenches and return to the rear; Looking at his thick back, I felt a little reluctant in my heart, the warm feeling from my stomach made me feel very good about him, and his generous back reminded me of another equally generous and powerful figure.
Mom and Dad, are you all okay at home? I'm already working desperately to get back to you as soon as possible and get you out of that dangerous place. With these words in my heart, I slowly fell asleep on the firing position.
It wasn't until the next attack that I was awakened by the shelling, and I went into battle with my comrades. The enemy attacks, does not retreat, the enemy withdraws, rests for a short time, and attacks again...... The battle entered such a cycle that our company, along with other fraternal units, fought to the death against the Union soldiers on the line that stretched around downtown St. Louis.
Time passed slowly between attack and defense, and the Federation Army's offensive was always fierce, and there was always some new trick every time, when that group of stupid big ones was finally eaten away by us; They also sent out marine assault vehicles to try to borrow this fast-moving, bulletproof equipment to force squads of soldiers into our defensive lines. In our rear, individual missile launchers were brought in, and ammunition was plentiful, and the attack stopped again when more than a hundred assault vehicles and nearly nine hundred soldiers loaded in them were reduced to piles of fire and scrap metal by flying missiles.
But the federal side was obviously determined to take this jump point, and in less than half an hour, another batch of armored vehicles showed their bodies in the fireworks that had not yet dissipated, and there were even more than the previous batch.
That attack really made us suffer a lot of losses, under the fierce attack of the opponent who was not afraid of death, there was finally a gap of about ten meters or so that was broken through at the junction of the defense line of our company and the third company next door!! At that time, everyone went crazy, the Federation people rushed desperately to this breakthrough point, and we desperately squeezed inside, and the soldiers on both sides finally started hand-to-hand combat for the first time!!
Our company commander died in that hand-to-hand fight, and I remember hearing him shout in his headphones: "The second platoon will follow me, and the rest of the platoons will hold the line!" Then came the sound of heavy breathing, the clashing of daggers, the screams of a person after being stabbed, and all the mixed sounds that irritated the eardrums of all of us.
It was the closest the Federalists had come to victory in the past three days, when everyone was red-eyed, all the weapons in their hands were turned to the maximum output, and regardless of whether there would be scrap or not, I saw old William pounce on the entangled hand-to-hand combat position with a large bundle of grenades, followed by a flash of light and a violent explosion.
I shouted his name loudly, shouted to the other comrades around me, got up with my gun in my hand and rushed out of the trench, and just after I rushed out, the last reserve of the battalion headquarters also arrived; They followed along with the rest of the trenches, and we rushed forward for more than two hundred meters, firing at all the Federalists who were standing or just falling, until there was no longer any Federalists standing in front of me, and when I finally stopped and fell to my knees, I realized that my eyes were blurred with tears.
My madness happened to solve the crisis, and it also allowed me to take the place left by Old William, and was personally promoted by the battalion commander to the platoon commander of the third platoon.
I searched for a long time in that gap, and the only thing I found was a kettle that had been dented by the explosion, and everything else was scattered in that violent explosion, and I couldn't pick it up. I pinned the kettle to the same position as old William on my waist, and took the "Qin 45" sniper rifle he left in the firing position in my hand.
I swear, I'll make good use of it! With this message to old William in my heart, I turned and walked back to my firing position, and the next wave of attacks was coming......
