Chapter 462: Longevity Lock
Since Li Youde officially became the commander of the Li battalion, the Lushuipu Turret and the Fallen Leaf Village Turret have been contracted by him, and the task of his battalion is to block these two mountain passes and control the northern area of Meixian County, which not only shares the pressure of the devil's soldiers, but also saves the devil's military investment.
Two days ago, four companies of Li Youde's department were transferred south, and there were still two companies left in the old nest of Luoye Village, one was his Li Zi Company, and the other was his newly formed refugee company, referred to as the difficult word company, which were his two most well-equipped companies, and they were not willing to be released to raise heads for the imperial army.
Beginning yesterday morning, the Ninth Company of Qingshan Village suddenly attacked the artillery tower of Luoye Village, because Li Youde had no mortars and no grenadiers, and in broad daylight, the Ninth Company used sandbag walls to advance layer by layer to cover it, and followed up the slow construction method of digging fortifications, and approached the artillery tower step by step along the valley to a distance of 200 meters from the artillery tower; after dark, the offensive line moved forward again, and this morning, a trench at the forefront was only 80 meters away from the artillery tower, supplemented by some sandbag fortifications, and an earthen cannon was transported to the front.
At the beginning of the battle yesterday, Li Yong rushed to the fort with Li Zilian to reinforce and personally command the defensive battle. During this period, he once organized an attempt to force the Ninth Company to retreat, but he did not expect that although there were not many soldiers in the Ninth Company, there were heavy machine guns, so that the attack was just launched and died on the spot at the cost of seven or eight casualties.
Seeing that the turret was bombarded by the earthen cannon, and there were four or five casualties in the turret, Li Yong was so aggrieved that he wanted to vomit blood, and in desperation, he also dug a trench on the side at the foot of the turret. Moreover, this time, even the grenadiers came out, and the machine gun positions erected in the trenches had not yet fired two shuttles, and the three grenades flew in sequence, the first one collapsed and died unlucky, the second one smashed on the edge of the trench and only a burst of earth rain, and the third shot was falling in the machine gun position, which was so miserable! After that, except for the machine guns in the turret that continued to fight, the machine guns in the trenches no longer dared to let go easily, and all the rifles fired cold.
It's been a day and a night, Li Yong's scarlet eyes are also tired, the officer's uniform is covered with mud and snow and frost, and his haggard face is blackened by the large cloud of smoke blown by the wind, and he crawls out of the trench in embarrassment, and cautiously crawls a long way to the east, before he changes to a cat's waist and runs, and goes back to Fallen Leaf Village to see Li Youde in person.
After some time, in Li Youde's study, Li Yong threw his hat on the coffee table and dropped a layer of dust: "Uncle, I can't fight anymore, this is too sloppy! His ninth company has heavy machine guns and grenadiers, and the cats in the trenches are like rats, how can this be beaten? Stare at them and play with earthen artillery! If you want me to say, you should send a company of difficult characters to shop over from the green water, go directly to the liquor station to beat them, and see if they go home or not! Such a good idea, why don't you use it?"
Li Youde looked at Li Yong, who was embarrassed and had nowhere to go, and smiled: "You kid is too young and frizzy." Can the people of his ninth company beat me Li Youde? The imperial army is making a big move in the south, and they have also taken four of our companies, you don't know, so do you say that the Eighth Road can not make a move? Attacking the turret in broad daylight can only be a part of their action, if they really do it against us, how can this way of fighting? It just shows that they have a bottom line and a measured approach, and I dare say that even if the turret is knocked down by them, they will not walk a few more miles into the village of Fallen Leaves. But if we take this battle seriously and go to his liquor station, then this battle is really big, except for burning a few broken houses, what can we get?"
"Big? This battle is not big now, is it? I have tossed for a day and a night, and I have dug trenches!"
"It's very simple to end the battle, withdraw all the people, and give him the turret to occupy it once, don't you get it, don't they just want this? Hehe, what do you see, I'm serious, it's just a turret, they occupy it and can't live and not leave, let's go in and garrison it again, is this a thing?"
"That'...... What if they tear down the turret?"
"It's icy and snowy, how can it be so easy to dismantle, even if it is demolished, let's repair it again, a pile of broken stones, in addition to spending a little manpower, what is the loss?"
"Uncle...... You are a true immortal, and according to what you say, my brothers and I have been busy for a day and a night...... I'll go back now and tell them all to come back. Li Yong grabbed his hat and walked out angrily.
"Stop!" Li Youde's face changed suddenly: "Do you really think of yourself as a battalion lieutenant? Hmm? Put on a broken hat and forget what your surname is? I don't know how you died a hundred times like a bear!"
"I ...... Wrong!"
"Hear clearly, this battle is well fought! I will continue to fight, as long as the eight roads do not stop, I will accompany you." I don't care if I lose the turret or not, how can the Eighth Route dig the trenches to the head of the Fallen Leaf Village? The key is that this battle can be shown to the Imperial Army, do you understand? Besides, what does it mean to be busy for a day and a night? This is the training of soldiers! The Eighth Route accompanies you to practice, can you pick it up when you want to pick it up when you have the opportunity? Why do you and I carry so many bullets out of the library and waste it?"
Li Yong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect his Uncle Li to look at this battle like this, and couldn't help but sneer: "I'm ...... I understand! I'll go back, and bring the difficult characters to replace Li Zilian, and experience it!"
"You're not stupid!
......
During the day yesterday, Qin You, the instructor, stayed on the battlefield of the artillery tower for a period of time, he was afraid of accidents, afraid that Xiao Hongying would be unreliable, and later found that this girl cared more about casualties than him, and was cautious and meticulous in both position layout and tactical advancement, and asked for the opinions of Ma Liang and Li Xiang many times, and was born a commanding material. Maybe it's the black who is close to ink, she already has the kind of rigor of Hu Yi's tactics; maybe it's close to Zhu Zhechi, she also has some of the kind of strategic discernment of the head of the Lu regiment; she is 14 years old, she has been in the military for 14 years, and she should have paid attention to the age of flowers, but she can only be good at this, which is both a kind of luck and a sadness. It's a pity that she's a girl. Qin You thought so, the head of the regiment and the political commissar were not as good as that.
Qin You, who was relieved, dared to let the girl lead the, and he, the instructor, returned to the wine station and commanded some female militiamen to patrol the house.
This morning, the brigade entered the liquor station in disarray, first the second company, then the third company, and finally the first company.
There are not many houses in the wine station, and they can't live in it at all, but at present, half of the militia and the old and young are on the battlefield in the mountain pass of the Fallen Leaf Village, so most of the dwellings in the wine station village on the other side are empty, and the weather is too cold.
After arranging the soldiers, Qin You led the three company commanders to his wooden house, Gao Yidao was really invisible, after entering the door, he didn't say a word, he directly occupied Qin You's broken wooden bed and fell asleep, without greeting him, as if sleeping in his own home, snoring like thunder.
Wu Yan didn't talk much, but he still had a brief chat with Qin You, originally planning to go back and sleep with his company of soldiers, but found that this hut was really warm, and the small broken stove was burning hot, so he leaned on the stove and slept on the spot, letting Qin You pull him up to lay some groundwork for him, and he didn't wake up.
Hao Ping chatted with Qin You the most, it was the first time he went to the wine station, just such a place, just such a room, compared to the nameless village of Sanlian, he couldn't think of how to boast, so he said: "It's good feng shui here!"
Qin You smiled: "No, the wind is also strong and the water is cold." β
"Lao Qin, you instructor...... But if you really have an idea, I will obey you. β
Qin You put down the cigarette that had not yet been lit: "I have an idea, how can I say it?"
"Fighting guerrillas can fight to occupy the bridge and collect road tolls, and pulling people to the county jail, how dare ordinary people think of this idea?"
"Ahemβthis ...... Who said that?"
"Luo Fugui, he said that he was carrying out your orders, you ......"
"Uh...... Hey - this bear thing...... I was ...... It was a rush to attack the heart, and he was angry, and he took it seriously! What a mistake...... At that time, Hu Yi was injured, and there was almost no one in the Ninth Company who could carry a gun, which made it difficult for me...... I came up with a rambling ......"
......
Seven soldiers dressed as puppet soldiers stood in a row, Qin You shook hands one by one, asked everyone's name seriously, and then told them to hurry up and rest first, and then turned around and asked Luo Fugui: "How many people are there in the second row now?"
"Shi Cheng has eight with him. That's half a row, how's it going, fast enough?"
"Fast, fast, fast!"
"Hey, hey, hey...... Director Qin, I won't tell you anything, if I didn't help him, Shi Cheng's stupid guy would still have to be a bare-bones commander now. Luo Fugui shyly looked at Qin You.
"Mule, go out for a walk with me. β
"It's freezing ......"
"Don't even give me face as an instructor?"
Xiong had no choice but to follow the instructor and walk out of the wine station in the wind, until he couldn't see the sentry, Qin You stopped and pointed to a piece of rattan in the dead bush: "Do me a favor, fold that section for me." β
Xiong jumped through the snow, folded the thick rattan, and came back and handed it to Qin You.
He took it in his hand and shook it: "Mule." β
"Hey. β
"How many times have I told you, long snacks, long snacks, follow you every day to say, say, you don't long. It's okay if you don't have a long heart, I told you again, save a snack, save a snack, and follow you every day to say, say, you don't worry. What do you think I have to say so that you can grow?"
"You always say, you always say, I can't even remember what you said. β
"So I'm talking too much?"
"It's a lot of points. β
"Alasβit's my fault, and I can't blame you. I'm the instructor...... Deserve to fail. Since you're defeated, you don't have any scruples, don't mind beating you. β
"You...... What? Oops...... Ah......h
The ghostly cries of bears could be heard in the wilderness.
......
Commander Lu in the trench put down the binoculars, chirped, lowered his head, and said, "Is there an end?"
Xiao Hongying was lying in the trench, the steel helmet fell to the side, and the two small thin arms hugged one of the calves of the landing regiment commander: "It's not over!"
"Little one, if you don't let go, I'll drag you away!"
"Let's go!"
Captain Lu raised his feet and walked, bang, bang, bang...... Walking from one end of the trench to the other of the trench, I was already exhausted from the rapid march all the way, and now I was wrapped in such a burden on my legs, and I was panting in a few steps.
"Can't you borrow the soldiers of your ninth company to pass the commander's addiction?
"Why not? You are the commander of the regiment, you can be the commander every day. Where am I?"
"I'll make you the deputy commander, okay?"
"The commander is the commander, what is the deputy? Communicator? Herald? Fool?"
"Oh, I warn you not to kick your nose in the face! I'm really sorry if you don't let go, hit you little!"
"You hit! I can't pass out, I can't remember how big your fist is!"
Commander Lu's intimidation was ineffective, so he continued to walk, and Xiao Hongying pulled his leggings and continued to slide under the trenches, bang, bang, bang...... If it weren't for the fact that the regiment commander had a girl tied to his heels, he would have been disabled.
"I am the regiment commander, I am standing here, and it is natural to become a commander!"
"I didn't say that you weren't the regiment commander, you commanded!"
Regiment Leader Lu sighed, glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Okay, a box of grenades!"
Xiao Hongying raised her head and stared at Captain Lu's eyes that were almost unable to open, and then let go.
......
Luo Fugui's back hurt for a while, the instructor is the instructor, and when he smoked him with rattan, he didn't forget to reason with him with kind words, for example, he should be upright and dare to act, for example, when he wants others to carry the black pot, he should first ask others if they are willing to carry it. Luo Fugui was very confused, if he asked first, would it still be a black pot?
At this moment, after the bear deserved it, he took leave of absence and left the wine station to take a look at the battlefield of the artillery tower.
He cautiously entered the battlefield, he could climb without a cat's waist, he could never raise his head, the boss was not clumsy, he jumped three times and jumped into a pit with a shout.
"Mule?" Li Xiang was very surprised, he didn't expect this bear to come back, and he didn't expect that how could he realize that he would take the initiative to run to the battlefield, where did the sun rise?
Xiong grinned at Li Xiang, and looked at Chen Chong and Tian Sanqi again: "What, don't you call the elders in line, okay?"
Chen Chong and Tian Sanqi were helpless: "The platoon leader is good." β
"Hmm. Where is Xu Xiao?"
Li Xiang pointed forward: "With Ma Liang at the forefront." β
The bear then sprang out of the pit and disappeared into the smoke.
Several sandbags were placed on the edge of the trench to form a small battlement to prevent stray bullets from injuring people around the cannon. Ma Liang was directing several soldiers to be busy near the earthen cannon with a hoarse voice, wiping the chamber of the cannon and recharging the charge. I accidentally caught a glimpse of a bear scurrying into the trench from behind: "Mule, why are you here? Is the company commander back?"
"Where do I get along with Boss Hu?"
"You could have come here without him kicking you?"
"Under Qin's guidance, Lao Tzu has already progressed! Xiong didn't say anything more to Ma Liangduo, turned around and walked to the side of the trench, Xu Xiaozheng was secretly monitoring the battlefield with a steel helmet over there, he was an observation post. Hearing the conversation between Xiong and Ma Liang, the smoky little black face under the steel helmet had already turned to the direction of the sound, showing a happy smile from the bottom of his heart, and shouted towards the tall figure walking towards him: "Squad leader!"
"Grandma's just that you haven't grown up! Running in front of you to do a fart?" Luo Fugui came to Xu Xiao's side, watching Xu Xiao slide down the chest wall of the trench into the trench, bringing down a burst of broken soil.
"Hey, hey. Squad leader, why did you just come back? As he spoke, he took out half a piece of black bun from his arms and handed it to Luo Fugui: "This is what I just baked, and it's still hot." β
Xiong sat next to Xu Xiao with a buttocks, and took the half of the black bun into his mouth: "Xiao, do you miss me?"
"I thought about it. β
Glancing at Ma Liang, seeing that they were all busy near the earthen cannon, Xiong took out an object from his pocket, stuffed it into Xu Xiao's arms, and said in a low voice: "The squad leader gave you a good thing." β
"Longevity lock?"
A piece of sterling silver longevity lock, the front is engraved with the words 'longevity and wealth', and the chains are all silver, shining in Xu Xiao's hand, heavy.
"You be quiet! Your Xu character Lao Tzu can't write, only help you carve a 'small' character, and you will be famous." β
Xu Xiao turned over the longevity lock, the back used to be a person's name, but now it is a deep scratch left by a bayonet, scraped the original name, and re-engraved a crooked 'small' character, which was ugly and ugly, like the ugly bear, because it was the bear's own knife handwriting.
