The atmosphere in the capital is a little strange, and almost everyone is asking who the general manager of the newly built Daming Petroleum Company is.

Almost no one cares about what kind of hard fighting is going on in the distant Basra, the Ming Marines.

Winters in Basra are not cold, and the climate is even somewhat pleasant. With the sea in the background, the air is not as dry as inland.

At least it's much stronger than the winter in Liaodong that can freeze and crack stones!

In the quiet of the night, a group of dirty soldiers were sleeping soundly in the trenches with their guns in their arms.

A small insect crawled over the camouflage uniform, and Li Jiu held a rifle in his arms, his hat buttoned down his face, leaning against the earthen wall of the fortification.

The worm crawled to the left along the right side of Li Jiu's military uniform.

On the armband on his left arm, if you can vaguely see the number of his family through the night.

Li Jiu slept soundly, feeling confused and staring for a while, he was woken up by a gunshot.

How many years of licking blood from the knife edge, instinct made him pick up the Aka rifle beside him before he opened his eyes.

With a stroke of the hand, the safety clicked back into place.

Slowly peaning out of the fortifications, I saw that there was no movement on the other side. You know, this is another cold gun of the Kurds.

Recently, the Kurds on the opposite side have not been easy to deal with, they have all kinds of weapons.

Makqin machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and even grenadiers from the Ming army, they have them.

Li Jiumao ran to the side of the machine gun with his waist down: "What's the matter?" ”

"Platoon commander! The one on the other side seemed to be a cold gun. ”

Li Jiu slowly poked his head out again, trying to keep his eyes open wide, trying to discern whether there was anyone in front of the position through the outline on the horizon.

The moonlight was hazy tonight, and I couldn't see it clearly.

There was a sudden slip under his feet, and his body immediately fell to the side. Almost simultaneously, a scream and a gunshot rang out at the same time.

The bullet hit the soil layer behind the trench and only made a "poof" sound.

Li Jiuyi sat on the ground with his ass!

At this time, the soldiers and dogs in his platoon were holding their legs on the ground and calling "oops" and "oops".

It turned out to be stepping on this kid's leg!

Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was really fateful.

If you don't step on this kid's leg, this shot will not be good. Looking at this position, it is rushing to the head.

If you shoot it, even if you wear a steel helmet, it's useless.

"Don't scream, call the mortar in a moment." Li Jiu scolded, and the dog immediately stopped barking.

"Stay still!"

Li Jiu knew that there was a sniper lying in front of the positions of the two armies.

The cat walked forward for more than twenty meters with his waist waist, and poked his head out again on the edge of a dirt bag.

The moon was obscured by the clouds, and visibility was somewhat low. Li Jiu looked at it for a long time, but didn't see anything.

Just when I was about to give up, I saw you in the moon. Li Jiu saw that there seemed to be a slight reflection in a depression in front of the position.

"Grandma's, I'm going to fix you kid today." Li Jiu knew that it was the reflection of the iron parts on the rifle.

Nowadays, the big guys are all good at learning.

It is also known to cover steel helmets and wrap strips of cloth around rifles. In order to prevent reflections.

Even experienced snipers do not wear a single iron weapon on their body.

Putting down the Aka rifle, Li Jiumao ran to the armorer and got a grenadier.

This thing, in fact, uses a projectile to hit something slightly larger than a grenade.

However, it was filled with high explosives, and if anyone within a radius of seven meters was not in the bunker, they would definitely have to drink a pot.

I dipped my fingers in saliva and felt it against the wind. Thumbs up, measuring the distance of the guy in the distance.

At about two hundred meters, this must be a well-trained sniper.

Otherwise, it is impossible to almost kill yourself at a distance of 200 meters.

Twisting the grenadier, a shell flew out.

As soon as the cannonball flew out, Li Jiu picked up the telescope.

Before I could focus on it, it exploded.

Holding the telescope or not was useless, and the sniper was blown off by the explosion.

The man rose three or four meters into the air in the smoke and fell heavily to the ground.

If this guy can survive, it will be really Hades' kindness.

"Da da da ......!" Machine guns rang out on the other side, and bullets rained down on the ground in front of the position.

This is a Kurdish machine gun, which was fired blindly after hearing the explosion.

"Hidden!" Soon, Li Jiu heard the sound of mortars.

The shells crackled and smashed for a full five minutes before they stopped!

"Fuck, the shells are pretty big." Firepower coverage has always been the patent of the Ming Dynasty, but now the Kurds also play this hand.

In his own platoon, five brothers died in seven days.

Four of them were killed by rockets, and one was seriously injured and died just after being sent to the back.

This was the outer position of Basra, and naval artillery shells could only hit about five kilometers in front of the position.

This is still a cannon with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters, and the shell is not accurate at all, and it cannot be hit, one depends on luck, and the other is based on character.

If it is not good, it is not impossible to fall on your own head.

After such a toss, the people on the battlefield also woke up.

Li Jiu leaned against the wall of the fortification, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and smoked it.

"Platoon commander, come on!" The squad leader came over with a grin.

"You don't fucking make a noise!" Scolding, Li Jiu threw out a cigarette.

As a result, this started and couldn't stop.

After a box of cigarettes was thrown around, there was not even half a box left.

"Platoon commander, always say reinforcements, reinforcements. It's been two months since this was done, and only two regiments of reinforcements came.

Yesterday, we attacked the battle on the opposite side, and I am afraid that there will be no less than a thousand people. We're just two companies guarding here, and I've heard that the casualties on the first company side are quite large. ”

"We've lost three brothers too! The rocket came down, and there was a crater in the ground.

Damn, it's about as powerful as our arsenal ships.

You say how they got such a big thing. Could it be that they also laid railway lines? ”

Several squad leaders under him were talking nonsense.

Li Jiu's platoon is a strengthened platoon, and the three squads are normal. The extra squad is a preparatory class, which can be regarded as a reserve for the whole platoon.

A platoon, the front of the defense actually reached 800 meters.

At this time, there is also a preparatory class for making eggs.

Li Jiu counted the whole platoon of thirty-four people in total, he and the communicator. The average area defended by each person is almost twenty-three and a half meters!

Moreover, there are now nine people in the platoon, and four more are injured.

Two lightly injured ones can still hold on, and two seriously injured ones have been sent away.

Yesterday it was able to come down with all the support of naval guns. If he fights again tomorrow, Li Jiu doesn't dare to guarantee that his position will not be lost.

"I heard that a division has been transferred from Ceylon, and it will be there in these two days.

Yesterday I went to the company headquarters and heard from the company commander that the commander was going to fight this time. We are already conscripting on a large scale in our own country, and I heard that we are going to conscript a million people. ”

"the!

Our Liao army is only more than 900,000 people, and if you come here with a million people, where can you arrange so many officers.

Could it be that the platoon commander becomes a company commander, and the company commander becomes a battalion commander? ”

"Then you kid, didn't you become a platoon commander."

"Pull it down, we don't have that ability."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and the sky was already dark.

The cooking squad in the back rode two tricycles to the position.

"I said senior squad leader, what is there to chew grain today." Seeing the cooking squad leader, the big guys were happy.

Because the Kurdish artillery is very powerful, the delivery of food can only be done once at night, and once at dawn.

I can eat hot for these two meals a day, and I have to eat cold rice for the rest of the time.

"Huh! Rice gruel, beef stuffed buns.

I'll bring you two or three wheelbed buns, and that's your day's food. Save a little food, don't treat it as a snack, it's just after noon. ”

The cooking class was smiling, like a Buddha.

His nickname is the Big Buddha!

These days, the soldiers on the front line are actually not very hard. The hardest thing is the cooking class, which makes food for the GIs in different ways.

The day before yesterday, it was beef with flatbread sauce, and each person was given two cucumbers.

Yesterday it was lamb pies, today it is beef buns.

All of them are packed in insulated buckets, so they won't spill out no matter how bumpy the road is.

Just as dinner was about to be served, gunfire began to fire again on the edge of the position.

The bullets "swished" and "swished" in the air, marking fiery red bullet marks.

"Hidden!" Li Jiu pulled the cooking squad leader and ran into the anti-artillery hole with buns and porridge.

As soon as he got into the anti-artillery hole, a fire rose on the edge of the anti-artillery hole, and a loud bang smashed on Ding San's eardrums.

"Fuck, this cannon is really fucking evil, two seconds later, Lao Tzu will be reimbursed."

Li Jiu was disgraced by the dust kicked up by the shells.

Shells were falling one after another, listening to the sounds, and even the fucking heavy artillery.

On the roof of the anti-artillery cavern, the dust was shaken and fell down one by one.

Inside the entire anti-artillery hole, the smell of earth is choking.

"Fuck it, what the hell is this. Early in the morning, I ate gunpowder. The squad leader scolded while spitting out the dust in his mouth.

The heavy cannon landed on the ground, and it felt like a sledgehammer slamming into the chest.

The fighters had no choice but to keep their mouths open. In order to prevent the dust from falling into your mouth, you have to cover your mouth with your hand.

The enemy is shelling on this side, and the artillery on the Ming side is not idle.

The shells of both sides crossed in the air. Exploded on both sides, dust and smoke filled the air.

This bombing lasted more than half an hour.

It is estimated that the artillery on both sides is tired of bombing, and this can be regarded as a stop.

"Platoon Commander......!" As soon as the shelling stopped, a soldier ran in another anti-artillery hole.

"What's wrong? There are casualties? Li Jiu was the most reluctant to hear the word casualties, although it was inevitable on the battlefield.

"Nope! We have a soldier in our squad and got someone back? ”

"Got someone back?"

"Hmmm! The sniper in front of the position was wounded by us. One soldier in our squad will get it back!

The kid was in ambush too close, less than a hundred meters. ”

"Dog's day! Check it out! ”

Li Jiu was a little excited, he had been fighting for so long, and it was the first time he had brought back a living one.

Walking into the anti-artillery cave, in addition to the smell of earth, there is also a smell of blood.

On the ground lay a guy in a gray military uniform, with a large blood stain on his waist. His face was sallow and sallow, and there was not a trace of blood.

What the hell is it to get a living person back?

Li Jiu took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that this guy's chest was slightly undulating.

It's still a living person, but it's not far from death.

"Platoon leader, you were alive and kicking when you got it back. I still know how to resist, but now it's over.

The cannon fight took too long, and this kid bled a lot. ”

The dog who was stepped on by Li Jiu hurried over to show his merits!

"There's no need to send it back, and it won't be alive if it's sent to the company. Throw it out, or it will stink in our place." ”

Someone was clearly not interested in this half-dead guy, and he felt a little unlucky.

This is the case on the battlefield, and people who were not superstitious are now slowly becoming superstitious.

This guy has black hair and comes in a curly hair. The eyebrows are thick, and the eyes are closed and they can't see clearly.

However, this one has a large nose, and the bridge of the nose is bulging. It's a typical hooked nose!

Instead of having a big beard like the Kurds, the beard is clearly shaved.

The whole chin is empty.

Li Jiu pulled this person's clothes, and Li Jiu was stunned when he saw the armband.

It was a six-pointed star embroidered with blue and white silk thread!

The soldier doesn't know, but Li Jiu knows, isn't this fucking David Wangxing?

"Take the body to the company headquarters on a tricycle from the cooking squad and tell the company commander that it is a Hebrew."

"Hebrews ......! Platoon commander, you say, "We're across from the Hebrews?" ”

Yes, this man is a Hebrew. I'm talking about it, I was just a sniper, why did I use heavy artillery. ”

After listening to Li Jiu's words, the big guy carried the person to the tricycle of the cooking class.

The cooking squad leader kicked and left, and even forgot to take the thermos bucket.

With such a toss, the sky is already numb.

Fortunately, the artillery on both sides was tired, or the artillery was too lazy to blow up two tricycles.

The cooking squad leader pulled the half-dead Hebrew man and pedaled the tricycle away gradually.

"The big guy hurried to eat, and then checked the weapons and ammunition. Today, there is a bad battle. ”

Li Jiu had been in Constantinople for half a year, and he knew that the Hebrew soldiers were not easy to mess with.

At least, much more powerful than the Kurds.

Being on the front line, I was able to drink rice porridge and eat big buns with beef filling. I have to say that only Daming can do it in the world.

In the middle of the night last year, a truckload full of ammunition arrived.

Mortar ammunition, in particular, is fully prepared for two bases.

When a red sun was just poking its head out of the horizon, the cannonballs on the opposite side also fell with the sun.

This time the shells hit evilly, and there were explosions of fire and smoke everywhere.

Even in the anti-artillery hole, my head hurts from the smell of gunsmoke.

Some people were so shocked that they vomited constantly, and all the steamed buns and gruel they ate in the morning vomited out.

Li Jiu squatted on the ground, holding his head in both hands. His face was covered with a cloth scarf, much like the legendary Arabian thief.

The heavy cannon smashed down, and Li Jiu jumped on the ground.
