Section XXI

"Let's discuss how to fight devils next!" The sound of stones broke the silence on the battlefield, and the guys beside them, who felt a little unnatural because they had offended the chief, raised their heads one after another.

Shi sat up, looked at the familiar faces on the side, and said: "The battalion commander told us to spend our minds on how to find a way to repel the attack of the little devils, this is the most important thing, and the rest of the things are carried by our own battalion commander and company commander." ”

Lao Meng Yinghe said: "Yes, the little devil can come up at any time, and he has to prepare in time, the devil's aircraft and artillery are too powerful, just rely on our fortifications here, if you want to hold it, is it very big." ”

"Old man Meng is right, the soil in this place is too soft, there are no bricks and cement to strengthen the fortifications, and as soon as a shell comes down, the positions that have been busy for a few days will be completely abandoned." The pillar said with a serious expression.

Seeing that everyone had quickly turned their energies to the battle, Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and after listening to the pillar's words, he continued to ask, "How did your position be arranged before?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, as if it was the first time to think about this problem, in the past, there were commanders in command, and the use of heads was obviously much less than now.

Lao Meng looked at everyone, but no one spoke, so he frowned and said, "Let me talk about it, if you make a mistake or omission, you can add it." Seeing that everyone nodded, Lao Meng thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that we are not really good at building a position, if you want to say something, I can't do it, but I have fought a lot, and I still remember a style that should be remembered." Let's take our current position as an example, the skirmish trenches are connected to the communication trenches, and behind them are machine gun positions and reserve positions, and on the whole, they are much better than the positions we used to make. ”

Shi felt a little incredible, the position of this platoon was arranged by him with full authority, to be honest, when he commanded the arrangement, it was completely operated by instinct, and even he himself didn't understand why he did it, and now he heard Lao Meng say that this position was even better than what they had done before, which made him very depressed, did he really be a big man before he lost his memory? Otherwise, there is no way to explain the ferocity of his fighting skills and the terrible instincts he shows from time to time.

Lao Meng continued: "I remember that for the convenience of combat, there should be relevant potholes on the position to store food and ammunition, and there must be convenient places. Anyway, in general, the construction of the position is similar to camping, in addition to being able to withstand the attack of the devils, it must also be convenient for people to stay. ”

Zhu Zi saw that Lao Meng was almost done, and also added: "According to the rules of our troops, it has always been a squad to garrison a stronghold, and the layers of defense can make it difficult for the enemy to move an inch, and the lethal firepower can also be brought into full play, our current position is generally about the same, but there is a problem, there is no particularly strong fortress, as long as one point is broken, the entire defense line is dangerous." ”

"Without bluestone and cement, how can you build a stronghold? Can a thing piled up with dirt withstand the bombardment of devils? Chen Daaxe shook his head and retorted.

Liu Wenfeng also interjected and said: "Chen Daaxe is right, the main problem of our position is not whether the construction is reasonable, but that the degree of solidity is not enough, and the devil's artillery will be reimbursed immediately." ”

Shi listened to everyone's words, frowned and nodded continuously, and at the same time, the scene of the bloody battle on the hillside north of Luodian kept coming to mind, and the devil's aircraft and artillery covered the position wreakingly, and they had no choice but to huddle in the trench with their heads in their hands and pray that the shells would not fall on their heads. In that case, the machine gun positions reinforced with long strips of bluestone can play a little protective role, as long as they are not directly hit by shells, they can basically still save their combat power, but in a place, where to find these large pieces of bluestone?

At this moment, Xiao Shandong said a little uneasily: "I am scared when I think of the devil's plane and artillery, our platoon's position is tight, and a few shells will be smashed down, maybe it will be all over." ”

Chen Daaxe glared and scolded: "Little bean sprouts, you can't say a few nice words with your stinky mouth." ”

Lao Meng didn't know when he had already lit his pipe, and was smoking loudly, when he heard Chen Daaxe's voice, he suddenly glared and scolded with dissatisfaction: "Xiao Shandong said something wrong? When I was bombed by the devil's plane, I didn't see you say a few nice words? ”

The expressions on everyone's faces are very serious, thinking that they have a deep fear of the Japanese aircraft artillery, it is not a strange thing to say, in the past half a month, except for the past few days after the evacuation of Luodian, they have to be ravaged by shells several times a day in the morning and evening, and most of the robes and brothers who died in battle were actually buried under the roar of the shells.

The position was quiet again, smoking, smoking, in a daze, and with a grim expression, obviously reminiscing about the terrifying scene, but without the support of anti-aircraft fire, they had no way to solve the plane in the sky.

"The devil is coming, the devil is coming......" A shocking shout, like a hammer smashed into everyone's hearts, everyone stood up with embarrassed faces, and looked at the distant horizon with complicated eyes, at this moment, the joy of winning more with less in the previous battle has completely disappeared, facing the almost endless enemy, the only thing that can be done is to constantly crush the enemy's attack.

On the horizon in the distance, the foot-long weeds that swayed with the wind swayed, and one by one the earthy yellow figures approached in all directions, and then mercilessly trampled the weeds to the ground, unable to stand up again. A long rifle was flat-ended, and the Japanese flag wrapped around the barrel showed a hideous face, which made people shudder at the sight.

"Return to the positions of the squads, the squads are ready to fight, Xiao Shandong, go and inform the company commander, the devil is coming." Shi looked at the figure of the Japanese army in the distance gradually approaching, and shouted in a deep voice, at this moment, all the things that had nothing to do with the war in his mind were buried, and all his energy fell on the Japanese army in front of him, how to resist the enemy's attack, this is the only thing he has to do so far.

"Stones, do we want to take out all of our old roots?" Lao Meng said beside the stone, after that Staff Officer Liu left, there was no need to worry about anything when they talked to each other.

Shi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't need it for the time being, uncle, the devil pounced on him in broad daylight, and there is no plane to help, there will definitely not be much movement, we have the help of the river in front of us, and there will be no problems for a while." ”

Lao Meng had already gotten rid of the previous moment of nervousness at this time, and chuckled: "You are the platoon commander, how to fight this battle, you have the final say, this little devil wants to step over us, don't even think about it if you don't pay enough price." ”

Shi said: "Uncle, the little devil has paid the price, I'm afraid he won't be able to cross it." ”

"Haha...... You're right, except for us taking the initiative to retreat, this little devil really hasn't stormed our position. Lao Meng laughed, his expression was quite complacent, no matter how powerful the devil's aircraft and artillery were, but it did not defeat them, and the confidence accumulated in the bloody battle made them not have much fear of the Japanese infantry.

"Uncle, the mountain is here to be commanded by you, go to the skirmish trench in front, and tell the brothers in the first class, wait for my order to shoot again, and then beat the devil after he comes." Stone saw that the squad leaders had returned to their positions with their men, and as he spoke, he raised his rifle and walked towards the position in front of the grave.

"Stone, why don't you stay behind and command, you are now the backbone of our platoon, but there must be no accidents." Lao Meng said with concern.

"Uncle, in fact, it's the same everywhere, I'm in front, I can still see it a little more clearly, take the opportunity to kill a few more little devils, even if you die, it's worth it." The stone head replied without replying, and in the blink of an eye, he plunged into a traffic trench.

The skirmish trench in front of the cemetery is garrisoned by Liu Wenfeng and others of the third squad, this is a newly dug trench, probably due to the reason that it is too close to the river, the trench is dug a little deeper, and there is water seeping out, resulting in the straggler trench here is not even one meter, people act in it, for the sake of safety, they have to bow their waists, at this moment seeing the stone coming, Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang, the two main and deputy squad leaders, immediately greeted them, and asked with concern: "Platoon commander, why did you come here!" ”

Seeing the concerned look on their faces, Shi sighed and said, "Since I became this platoon commander, it seems that my life is worth more than yours, and the old man won't let me come, and you say the same." ”

Liu Wenfeng and Li Wenguang couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then Li Wenguang smiled and said: "Platoon commander, you are now a deputy company commander, and your rank of lieutenant is different from us soldiers." ”

"Platoon commander, what the monkey said is right, the ancients said, 'A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.'" A good commander can decide the outcome of a battle, but it's not like us guys. Liu Wenfeng also said in kind.

The stone faintly saw the approach of the Japanese army in the distance through the reeds by the river, and only after he had spoken a few words to the crowd, the devil had reached a distance of two or three hundred steps on the north bank of the river.

Shi saw that the devil might not rush up for the time being, so he had the opportunity to deal with the two of them, and after listening to Liu Wenfeng's words, he said: "My brain is broken, where will there be any command to fight, it is all the old man and Brother Zhuzi who are helping." I think you have good skills and a flexible brain, and you will definitely be able to become a big official in the future. ”

Li Wenguang on the side laughed and said: "Platoon commander, a madman can't beat me, and his head is not as good as mine, I think my officer will definitely be bigger than him in the future." ”

Liu Wenfeng suddenly said disdainfully: "Who can compare with you, you are the Monkey King on Huaguo Mountain, if you want to be the Monkey King, I can compare with you?" ”

Just as they were laughing, "Boom! Suddenly, there was a cannon shot on the other side.
