Section XLVIII

Ji Hongru saw the brothers of the second company, and saw the beard of the second company, Zhao Yidao and other brothers retreating in support of each other.

Although witnessing the extremely tragic battlefield in front of him, he already had a certain degree of prediction for the huge casualties of the first battalion, but seeing that the most elite battalion of the 302nd Regiment had killed more than half of its brothers after this battle, and almost lost its combat ability, Ji Hongru also felt that his heart was dripping blood, a battalion was almost half of the combat strength of the 302nd Regiment, but it had to withdraw from the battlefield at the most critical time of the battle, this kind of loss was really sighing. And after a glance, he didn't find the attached stone, and Ji Hongru couldn't help but be very anxious.

"What about the stones? What about the first battalion commander stone man? Lin Xiufeng, who was on the side, seemed to know the thoughts of the head of the regiment on the side, and asked first.

Zhao Xinyi looked at the two commanders beside him blankly, and even forgot to salute, and the platoon commander Ghost Wu who followed him shook his head, more as if he didn't understand what was going on, only the beard of the second company commander seemed to be still awake, and after frowning, he said uncertainly: "Sir, the battalion commander doesn't seem to be on the position and hasn't come down." ”

When Ji Hongru heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiufeng, and then the two of them rushed towards the place where the bloody battle had been fought before.

Several lonely figures stood on the battlefield full of corpses with guns, they barely made any superfluous movements, one by one they stood like wooden stakes, and their bloodstained faces could not see the slightest expression and joy, anger and sorrow, which made people feel a sense of fear.

Among them, a slender figure sitting on the ground, with his head buried deep in his knees, stood out, his bloodstained hands holding his head, and his body was wrapped in a thick layer of blood plasma, which coagulated together as if he were draped in a thick garment.

"Where is the stone?" These few people are too eye-catching, Ji Hongru saw the situation here clearly from afar, and immediately raised his voice and asked.

No one answered, and the men with the weapons stood on their own as if they hadn't heard this, but the thin figure in the middle raised its head slightly, as if to hear the voice.

Ji Hongru seemed to have seen the stone sitting on the ground, and his anxious face finally showed a touch of joy, when he walked over quickly accompanied by several officers of the regiment headquarters, but after a distance of seven or eight steps, they stopped, because in front of the stone, the neatly lined up dozen or so corpses were so dazzling and shocking.

"This is Yu Longting......" Lin Xiufeng on the side was worthy of being a person who had been in the first battalion for a while, and he recognized a few of them from the row of corpses at a glance, and what shocked him was that these people were all those sergeants from the battalion headquarters, and most of them were lying on the ground at the moment, and they could no longer see their busy figures.

The head of the stone was finally lifted from his knees, his eyes were red, and there were tears hanging down at this time, he did not hide it at all, let the tears flow for a long time, and just looked at the brothers in front of him who had left.

The people in the regimental headquarters who followed Ji Hongru widened their eyes in surprise and opened their mouths wide, they didn't seem to have seen a regiment-level official cry like this, and in front of their subordinates, they didn't even have the slightest cover-up, they should have stood up and saluted, but at this moment they also froze there, not knowing what to do!

Ji Hongru looked at the stones, then at the brothers who had died, slowly took off the steel helmet on his head, and silently saluted the soldiers who took the first step. The officers and soldiers on the side finally reacted, saluting the military salute one by one, using this to bid farewell to these brothers who had gone one step ahead of them.

After a long time, Ji Hongru put down his arm and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Stone, go and rest for a while, people can't be resurrected after death, these brothers exchanged their lives for such a big victory, and they died well." ”

Shi Shi choked up with scattered eyes and said: "Dead, all dead, Yu Longting, Lao Zhou, and Dahu are all dead, hundreds of brothers, they will be all defeated in one battle." ”

Seeing that the stone was a little nonsense and didn't know what to do, Ji Hongru sighed, waved his hand and asked everyone around him to disperse to clean up the battlefield, and when only he and Lin Xiufeng were left around, he sat down beside the stone, looked at the stone with pity and said: "The stone is so affectionate and righteous, it is no wonder that the whole battalion can be respected and loved, but people can't live in the past, especially as a commander, they should put aside this emotion and bravely face all kinds of blows." ”

Seeing that the stone did not react, Ji Hongru also said seriously: "Of course, the devils are retreating at the moment, but no one knows when they will come up, stone, the number of times you have dealt with the devils is not once or twice, you should know their difficulty, if you face the battle in such a state, do you think you can still block the attack of the devils?" ”

These words seemed to touch the weakness in Shishi's heart, and even made him suddenly raise his head and look straight at the head of the regiment in front of him.

Lin Xiufeng on the side also took advantage of the time to say: "Tuanzuo is right, the dead Pao Ze brothers are certainly regrettable, but these people who are alive should be cherished even more, if they cause unnecessary casualties to others because of their silence in mourning, I am afraid that some of the gains outweigh the losses, if they lose their positions because of this, then those brothers before were not sacrificed in vain." ”

Shi naturally knew that this was the truth, but it was really unacceptable for him to look at the brothers who fell to the ground in pieces and couldn't get up again, and now he could only choke up and say, "I'm sorry Tuanza, I can't control it a little." ”

Reaching out and patting the stone without scruples, Ji Hongru sighed: "Actually, it's nothing, joy, anger and sorrow are human nature, they all say that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place, seeing so many brothers leaving, how many people can really be hard-hearted!" Stone, you go and rest for a while, sleep well, don't think about these things anymore, our days are still long, there are still many battles to be fought, and many brothers will leave us, but we must always remember that we must let those brothers die worthwhile, and let their sacrifices be exchanged for more enemy lives, only in this way can we be a qualified officer and worthy of the trust of our brothers. ”

Shi nodded, and his gaze couldn't help but fall back on the brothers on the ground, his gaze swept over their already indistinguishable faces one by one, and only after a long time did he sigh and leave slowly, at this time, he even forgot to say goodbye to the regimental commander and chief of staff on the side.

Looking at the stone's expression, Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but be a little worried and said: "Tuanzuo, it seems that Shi Tuanfu may not be able to recover in a short period of time, what should I do in the next battle?" ”

Ji Hongru replied to the question: "The stone seems to be just in his early 20s." ”

Lin Xiufeng was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said: "From the perspective of youth, it should be about the same, at least younger than me." ”

"20, what was I doing when I was 20?" Ji Hongru muttered, and then laughed at himself and said: "If it were me, I'm afraid it wouldn't be better than him, this is an age full of vitality and fantasy, but now I have to be silent all day long in such a bloody battle, facing brothers who have fallen one after another, it is rare for Shi Shi to have such good skills and amazing command ability at such a young age, and only more people like him can hope for the country." ”

"Tuanza, to be honest, I have always had a question that I haven't figured out, it is said that Shi Tuan can't remember the previous things when he was attached to Luodian, but with the level he has shown in so many battles, it seems that he is no worse than other officers, how did he do it? Especially when he was in Dangshan, even every squad was arranged just right by him, this kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can have. Lin Xiufeng looked at the background of the stone and said with feeling.

"Not to mention that it is not worse than other officers, so many troops, and a few troops can fight such a beautiful battle as them, when he was in Luodian, he broke down a squadron of the Japanese army in a platoon, captured dozens of people, when Qingpu was covering, a dozen people, he dared to counterattack the Japanese army's large troops, looking at the brilliant results he achieved along the way, it really made us people ashamed, they all said that the stone is an idiot who can't remember anything, I see, we are the real idiots, one by one too selfish, Although his mouth is good, how many people can put all their minds on combat like him. Ji Hongru couldn't help but say with emotion.

The two of them fell silent, and the teardrop eyes of the stone couldn't help but appear in their minds, a deputy regimental commander who had never received a military salary again, an officer who would cry because of the death of his soldiers, and a young officer who could win one victory after another when others were defeated, this abnormal situation really made it difficult for them to overlap with the young face of the stone.

However, the military situation is urgent, Ji Hongru sighed for a while, and had to hurry back to the place where the temporary regiment headquarters was located, now the battle is still going on, he still has a lot of things to do, the matter of the first battalion of stones certainly made him quite emotional, but as the vanguard of the entire division, their 302nd regiment's task is far from being completed.

Fortunately, the news from all sides is not bad, it is only 9 o'clock at the moment, and it is only 2 hours before the launch of the general attack.

"Go and call the two battalion commanders, Hu Liqun and Qu Yuben, and then tell the supplementary battalion to temporarily transfer the machine gun company to the second battalion, and transfer the supplementary second company to the third battalion, and all of them will be in place within half an hour." After Ji Hongru combed through everyone's information, he began to give orders constantly.

[I'm going out for a day's meeting tomorrow, I may not be able to update, sorry, sorry! ] 】
