Section XXV

"Boom...... Rumble...... A series of faint explosions came from the northeast direction of the position, and it seemed that the roar of the plane could still be heard, but the distance was too far away, and it was mixed with the sound of artillery fire, and the hearing was very indistinct....... However, just the undulating momentum also made the listener change color, so that everyone at the top of Fang Mountain fell silent one by one, how experienced these guys on the top of the mountain are, how broad their knowledge is, although the ability to peep at the leopard in the tube is not so exaggerated as to see the whole leopard, but judging the battlefield in the distance from the sound of cannons, it can also be imagined that it is time to come.

The smile on Staff Officer Dai's face had disappeared at this moment, and he said solemnly to Zheng Pusheng: "Battalion Commander Zheng, it seems that there is a fierce battle in the direction of Chunhua Town!" Judging by the sound, the strength of the Japanese invaders is at least more than one brigade! ”

Zheng Pusheng didn't say anything when he heard this, and after nodding, his eyes fell on the Japanese cavalry in the distance on the hillside, and then as if he thought of something, he frowned and began to pace back and forth on the top of the hillside.

Seeing Battalion Commander Zheng's expression, Staff Officer Dai naturally didn't bother, and after his eyes fell on the stone, he asked politely and in a low voice, "What is Company Commander Shi's opinion?" ”

Shi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand anything, just wait for the battalion commander's order!" ”

Staff Officer Dai was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the stone in surprise, as if he didn't expect that his approach to those peers was really the opposite, and others would speak freely to show their extraordinaryness when they had the opportunity, but this stone company commander didn't seem to have any idea of this at all? However, after being surprised, he also said with a smile on his face: "Company Commander Shi is too humble, I heard from Tuanzuo that Company Commander Shi's outstanding achievements in the area of Xiaoliuhe are unparalleled by defeating a squadron of Japanese invaders with a platoon and capturing more than 20 people. ”

Shi didn't know why this Staff Officer Dai seemed so kind to him to say this, but when he thought of Staff Officer Liu when he was in Xiaoliuhe, he had a feeling of unease, the same youth, the same respect of the superiors, the same handsome and extraordinary, but this made Shi Shi shudder, as if facing a snake and scorpion, deeply terrifying.

Suddenly, Shi said in a humble tone: "This is all the work of the commanders and the brothers who fought to the death, and I am just stained with their light." ”

Staff Officer Dai couldn't help but glance at the stone, this company commander looks young, but he doesn't seem to have the vigor of a young man, and he looks unusually low-key, which is really rare, but just a few words, and the other party's face has an expression of being close to the life and rejecting people thousands of miles away, which really makes Staff Officer Dai feel like he can't cry or laugh.

Zheng Pusheng's pacing and deep thinking did not last long, and at this moment he stopped and said with deep anxiety: "This battle looks a bit hanging! ”

The stone didn't have any expression on his face, he just turned his head and glanced at Camp Commander Zheng, while Staff Officer Dai on the side followed Zheng Pusheng's tone and asked, "What is Camp Commander Zheng's opinion?" Please advise! ”

Zheng Pusheng sighed and shook his head, frowned and said: "The devil seems to know very well about our defense situation, this battle is too targeted, and we still don't know how many devils there are and where the direction of the attack is. ”

Staff Officer Dai also nodded and responded: "This is also a helpless thing, the devil has air superiority, although the Soviet Air Force volunteers are brave and good at fighting, but in terms of equipment conditions, we are still much worse, the previous air battles, although we destroyed a lot of Japanese fighters, but the overall situation is still lagging behind, the battlefield terrain is photographed and the bombing that may be suffered later, it is also unavoidable." ”

These things were unheard of by Shishi, and this hearing also made him listen attentively.

I saw that Zheng Pusheng also nodded heavily, as if he already knew this, looked into the distance worriedly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the devil cavalry was, he said helplessly: "The devil is besieging us but not attacking, but the battle is raging in the direction of Chunhua Town, and I don't know if the 301st Regiment can withstand it." ”

Staff Officer Dai thought about it for a while, and then quickly responded: "There are also the second and third battalions of our regiment stationed in Songshu and Wangjiafen near Chunhua Town, which can be supported at any time, once the situation is critical, the 305th Regiment stationed in the area of Heding Bridge can also be reinforced in time, there should not be too much problem in a short time, but we are not as strong as imagined, if the cavalry of the devil joins forces to storm the rear area of the flank, the situation is really hard to say!" ”

When Zheng Pusheng heard this, he glanced at Staff Officer Dai with deep meaning, and did not say anything, his behavior surprised the stone on the side, and he didn't seem to understand what was wrong.

After a long time, I heard Zheng Pusheng look into the distance and say: "Staff Officer Dai rest assured, Zheng is still aware of obeying orders and acting according to orders, this battle has just begun, and I haven't panicked to the point of chaos." ”

Staff Officer Dai on the side also had the same face, and said extremely naturally: "This is natural, Battalion Commander Zheng is brave and good at fighting, governing the army with iron and blood, and his experience in fighting with the Japanese invaders is even more abundant. ”

Being patted in front of this staff officer Dai with a red heart and no beat, Zheng Pusheng was suddenly a little speechless, but this guy mentioned the regimental seat from time to time in his mouth, which naturally let him know the other party's thoughts, and secretly snorted coldly, Zheng Pusheng said calmly: "Staff Officer Dai is humble, a high-achieving student who graduated from the Central Military Academy, which one of us can compare, Staff Officer Dai rest assured, where the muzzle of the regimental seat is pointed, we will hit wherever the battalion goes, and we will never make it difficult for Staff Officer Dai!" ”

Hearing that Zheng Pusheng suddenly picked out the twists and turns between each other, Staff Officer Dai also responded with a calm smile: "Fighting devils in the same trench, what is it difficult or not, Battalion Commander Zheng's words are too obvious." ”

Zheng Pusheng saw that this guy's face was not ordinarily thick, and he also lost interest in talking to him, so he turned his head to the stone and asked, "Stone, what do you think?" ”

"What?" Shi didn't seem to expect the battalion commander to turn the topic to him so suddenly, and said in a little surprise.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Zheng Pusheng obviously trusted the stone, and asked him to come up, as if he had specially asked for his opinion.

Shi looked at Zheng Pusheng, then at Staff Officer Dai, and after thinking about it, he said: "Although the battalion commander gave the order, the third company was from top to bottom, who dared to say a word, I shot him!" ”

Staff Officer Dai on the side suddenly said with some interest when he heard this: "Battalion Commander Zheng and Company Commander Shi, you are busy first, and I will take a look at the situation around me." With that, he smiled and strode off into the distance.

It wasn't until Staff Officer Dai walked away that Zheng Pusheng's nose let out a cold snort, as if he was quite dissatisfied with this young staff officer, which made the stone on the side feel very strange, and asked in a low voice: "Battalion commander, what are you ......?"

"Don't look at this kid smiling all day long, there are a lot of thoughts in his heart, he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, isn't he afraid that I won't follow the orders of the regiment headquarters and make any changes! Damn, Lao Tzu has killed more devils than he has ever seen, so he still comes with me! Am I the kind of person who can't tell the difference between the important and the heavy? Zheng Pusheng said dissatisfiedly, and snorted coldly, but then he fell on the stone's body, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You're a good kid, and now you're also slippery, and you learned it all from Old Man Meng? Why don't I look like it? Those guys in the third company, except for the pillar is more stable, I haven't seen anyone with such deep scheming! Zheng Pusheng looked at the stone in amazement, as if he was looking at a monster, which made the stone suddenly at a loss.

It wasn't until the stone he looked at kept smirking and scratching his head that Zheng Pusheng said: "Say, that kid is gone, tell me what you think!" ”

"What do you think, battalion commander, I don't have any ideas!" Shi suddenly said with a wry smile.

"Fill me with less garlic, will you run out of ideas? I don't think who fought in the battle of Xiaoliuhe? The book that Captain Zhang gave you was also read in vain? Zheng Pusheng sneered and said, not believing what the stone said at all.

This made the stone quite depressed, and the hand that scratched his head also involuntarily used his strength, and almost grabbed his scalp, which made him grin in pain, and then smiled bitterly: "Battalion commander, it's useless to have ideas, didn't you just tell Staff Officer Dai that everything should be done according to the orders of the regiment headquarters?" ”

Zheng Pusheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face said quietly: ", if you just listen to the orders from above, what do you want us people to do?" Why don't you just find a few echo bugs? The battlefield is changing rapidly, if you don't seize the opportunity to kill the killer, what kind of bullshit officer will you be? Besides, did I say I had to take action? ”

Shi was choked speechless by the battalion commander's words, and after a deep groan, he said: "Battalion commander, the key is that we don't know what the situation is in Chunhua at all!" If Chunhua can't hold it, let's stay here and wait for death! If Chunhua is also a feint, it is estimated that we are here to hang the suspense. I think what Staff Officer Dai said is right, in the case of not finding out the situation clearly, it really can't be messed around, this mountain is so big, our battalion has few manpower, if the devil concentrates his forces to attack one place, it is really difficult to say whether he can hold it! ”

Listening to the stone's words, Zheng Pusheng suddenly quieted down, and after nodding deeply, he fell into a long silence, and it seemed that all his energy was put into the complicated situation at hand.
