Section XXXIX
Section 39 [Second Update]
The originally well-layered, impregnable position was now full of holes because of the enemy appearing on the flanks behind, and it was already overstretched to deal with the attack of the two Japanese squadrons head-on with a platoon of manpower, let alone the possibility of facing a two-sided attack. Don't look at them this day, they have repelled several Japanese attacks, but everyone knows that the devils have not launched the strongest firepower until now, except for a frontal charge with the help of thick smoke, other times, they are all tentative attacks, if they can't even cope with these enemies, then they are really finished, and similarly, withstanding the attacks of these enemies does not mean that their strength is enough to defeat the enemy on the north bank.
And the worst news is that once the enemy is flanked, their positions will become two, and the enemy's firepower is in stark contrast to their firepower dispersion, but the direction of this flanking attack is still something they have never thought about, who would have thought that the important follow-up support of the previous moment will become the stronghold of the enemy's attack in the blink of an eye, not to mention the defensive position, and even for the convenience of transportation, they also deliberately filled the crater with something.
What is this called? Dig your own grave?
Sent Li Wenguang away to report the news on the mountain road, the dullness that was suppressed in the chest of the stone was finally a little easier, things should not be as bad as imagined, now it is them and the devils who occupy the second class position, which side has better endurance, see who can hold it, who is the final winner of this battle, although their number is not much, but it is not without a chance of victory.
"Brother Zhuzi, the position in front will be handed over to your second class." The stone said solemnly to the pillar.
"Don't worry, if you lose my life, you won't be able to lose your position." The pillar replied arrogantly, with a big machine gun in hand, and the world has my anger.
Shi nodded, he was very relieved about the stability of the pillar and the strength of Chen Daaxe, there were three or four machine guns guarding the bridge deck, even if the devil rushed over, the price was amazing. Thinking of this, he said again: "Let the old man and the madman come over, let's prepare, and wait for the devil to come up and ask them to look good." ”
Zhuzi already knew what he was going to do, so he nodded and left immediately, but in a very short time, Lao Meng and Liu Wenfeng came together, and the people in the first and third classes also withdrew from the forefront of the front line under the order of the second squad leader.
"Uncle, our back road is now occupied by devils, how do you think we should fight this battle?" When Shi saw Lao Meng coming, he humbly asked for advice.
Lao Meng's mood was obviously not high, obviously he had not recovered from the blow of the death of Company Commander Zhou, and when he heard the words of the stone, he also shook his head and said: "The battle is like this, that's what happened, either nail it here like a nail, or take advantage of the fact that the devil has not launched an attack and leave around the wasteland behind." ”
Shi Shi said: "Uncle, the company commander and the brothers in the second platoon are still watching us on the other side, if we leave like this, we won't even be able to sleep at that time, and if we die in the future, I'm afraid they won't have the face to go with them." ”
Liu Wenfeng said with a weak expression: "What the platoon commander said is right, we people will die on the battlefield sooner or later, why do we have to do such a spineless thing in order to live a few more hours and a few more days, platoon commander, how to fight this battle, you can say it directly, if anyone is afraid, let him get out of it as soon as possible." ”
When Liu Wenfeng was speaking, his eyes involuntarily swept over Wu Ming and several other people in the second row, this look made Wu Ming unable to hold his breath, and immediately agreed: "What the squad leader said is right, whoever dares to escape from the battle will be shot on the spot, there is nothing to talk about." ”
Seeing this situation, Shi knew that the atmosphere was almost brewing, but immediately arranged: "Uncle, our previous arrangements have to be changed, the battalion commander and they don't know when they will be able to get rid of these devils, we have to plan for the worst, even if we can't hold this place, we have to let the devils shed their skin." ”
Lao Meng nodded and said: "Stone, if there is any arrangement, you can just say that my old bones can weigh the weight of the devil before lying down." ”
"Uncle, you see if this will work, let's enlarge the defensive area, pull the position and give it a go with the devil." After hearing Lao Meng's words, Shi said his thoughts without any scruples. As soon as these words came out, the people around them gasped and looked at the young chief in front of them with a little suspicion.
The people in the platoon are okay, but they are secretly figuring out the meaning of the stone, after so many days of contact, for this platoon commander, they are not the slightest unconvinced, not to mention that people's brains are broken, the strong skills that are killed from the sea of corpses and blood are not comparable to others, the army is like this, only the strong can be convinced by others, as long as you have great ability, what you say is the truth, this is the army.
The people in the second platoon are different, they were originally newly added to the third company, but this battle was fought, ten to seven or eight, and the rest are basically all here, and they are deeply afraid of the strength of the devil, and the lord in front of him is good, facing the two-sided attack that the devil may appear, not only does not shrink the defense line, but pulls away to fight, with their manpower, to stuff the devil's teeth? I thought so in my heart, but no one raised any questions, after all, the newcomer had lost the battle again, and in front of a row of these people who had made great contributions, he still couldn't say anything.
Lao Meng thought about it, and said directly: "How to beat you, tell me directly, what do I need to do as an old man!" ”
Shi looked at Lao Meng gratefully, and said carefully: "The cemetery trench in front of the hillside is assigned to Brother Zhuzi and their garrison, and then two machine guns are transferred to them, I want to see what tricks the little devil can play with four machine guns guarding a bridge." Seeing Lao Meng nodding without the slightest opinion, Shi continued: "Uncle, you arrange for two brothers with good marksmanship to guard the hillside, and the others will move the corpses of the devils at the bridge head over as cover, let's use these little devils as a baffle and use their bodies to block bullets." ”
Liu Wenfeng, who was on the side, said strangely: "Platoon commander, these two sides are occupied, you won't let our brothers in the third class run to sleep." ”
Shi said confidently: "You guys pack up your things and prepare to go with me to the devil's position to feel the situation." ”
Wu Ming finally spoke, to be honest, he was frightened by the young officer's words, and reminded at this time: "Deputy company commander, the devil has almost half of the squadron's strength across the river, and he may be killed at any time." ”
Shi shook his head confidently and said, "No, the devil has more things to do now than we have here." ”
Liu Wenfeng also said: "Yes, we didn't build a position to defend the flank, and the second platoon didn't have it either, we were just facing the enemy around a squadron, the little devil was different, and behind it was the battalion headquarters, regiment headquarters, brigade headquarters, and even division headquarters, who knows how many men and horses were mobilized to attack at the summit?" If you want to gain a foothold on the south bank, you don't have a strong stronghold, and you can be driven into the river at any moment. ”
Shi stopped talking, put all his energy into checking the guns and ammunition, and occasionally looked at Liu Wenfeng, for this third squad leader who was slightly younger than him, he still admired it very much, it was worthy of being one of the only two lone seedlings left in the third row, not to mention the marksmanship for the time being, this is indeed accurate for the grasp of the situation and the analysis of the battle situation. As for the other guy, thinking of Li Wenguang, the stone couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, Li Wenguang's brain is absolutely flexible, and his skills are even stronger than Liu Wenfeng, but he just looks like hee-hee-ha, and he doesn't have a sense of stability at all, as if the sky is falling, it's none of his business.
I don't know what is the situation of this kid now, can we get in touch with the battalion commander in time, and what will the battalion commander ask us to do?
Thinking of these fruitless things, the stone gradually bowed down, and then put the bayonet on the muzzle of the gun, and ran quickly towards the back of the position.
The positions of the first row and the second row are a mile away from each other, and if it is daytime, you can see the situation between each other clearly, but at this moment, it is the darkest hour before dawn, and the moon also loses its brilliance at this time, and is hidden in a black cloud, leaving only a faint light, so that people can vaguely distinguish the situation within a few meters of the surroundings, and in the distance, it is a blur. This is also the reason why Stone dared to conduct fire reconnaissance with a very small number of troops.
After running out for nearly a hundred steps, the stone lay down in a wasteland, although Liu Wenfeng was injured, but he also followed closely behind, and did not pull down, as for Wu Ming and other people in the second row, because of the disparity in strength between them and the Japanese army, they did not dare to come out, but it seemed that the physical consumption was quite serious.
"Madman, how does your back feel?" Shi asked inexplicably at this time.
Liu Wenfeng knew the meaning of the stone, and immediately nodded: "Platoon commander, don't worry, two or three little devils can't take my life." ”
Shi knew that his skills were good, so he nodded and said: "Okay, you come with me, squad leader Wu, you take the brothers to stay here, after dawn, we don't retreat, you go back to listen to the command of the first squad leader." ”
Wu Ming asked in horror: "Deputy Company Commander, just you and Team Leader Liu?" ”
Shi said calmly: "Don't worry, it's just to explore the reality of the devil, it's not strong, the devil can't help us, madman, let's go......"
[As long as you don't go to run errands or anything, this is two shifts a day, and it's still very stable! ] 】
