Chapter 34: An Elite?
At the front-line headquarters, several staff officers completely ignored the sound of artillery fire outside, but calculated the time and the next strategic deployment very closely.
Song Zhe also got up early at this time, but he was pacing back and forth at this time.
Obeying Staff Officer Qin's decision was indeed his thoughtfulness.
But when it happened, he was a little worried.
There's no way, many of these ragtag armies haven't been pulled out much all year round.
Can this group of people really be used?
It's not going to be a rout just fighting, is it?
Although the Overseers can execute deserters who dare to retreat, if they really don't use it, they will be victims of attracting firepower, and it is difficult to explain that the consumption is too large.
"How long has it been since the fighting?" Song Zhe asked lightly.
"Sir, cai.... It's only been ten minutes. ”
An adjutant reluctantly responded, and the chief asked this a third time.
Hearing this, Song Zhe nodded, but at this moment, there was a noise outside.
"What's going on out there?"
"I'll take a look!"
The adjutant went out quickly, but as soon as the curtain was lifted, an officer outside shouted under the guard, "Sir! I want to see the sir! I can't go up any more, I'm running out of people! ”
"Sir.... It's Brigade Commander Liu, he...."
"Needless to say! I just heard it all! ”
Song Zhe's face was already as black as charcoal, and he had only been fighting for ten minutes, and he began to howl!
"Let him in, I'll see what he has to say!"
With Song Zhe's order, soon a middle-aged man who was covered in dirt and had blood on his face rushed in.
Without saying a word, he knelt in front of Song Zhe with a puff.
"General! Please, let my brethren take down! ”
The middle-aged officer was in tears, his face was full of grief. The man who is 1.8 meters tall is crying like a tearful man at the moment.
Song Zhe just snorted coldly, ignored the man, and turned to look at the adjutant, "How about the losses on the front line?" ”
The adjutant had just been observing the battlefield with a telescope when he was questioned.
"Say!"
"Losses.... The loss is quite large, at least fifty percent! ”
After speaking, the adjutant stepped aside and lowered his head, not daring to look at Song Zhe's expression.
Fifty percent!
Song Zhe took a deep breath, he knew very well what the concept of fifty percent was, even if it was his descendants, if the losses reached this number, most of them would be unstable.
And these miscellaneous troops, it is estimated that many of them already want to escape, and the reason why they don't escape is that they can't escape.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Go on!" I don't care what method you Liu Wu uses, you will hold the first round for me!
There are twenty minutes left, during which time if your own people die before the opponent's guns stop, military law will deal with it! ”
"Sir! Sir! I really can't hold it anymore, and if I continue to fight, the brothers will go up and die in vain! ”
Hearing that Brigade Commander Liu was struck by lightning, he wanted to hug Song Zhe's thigh, but was kicked away by the other party.
"Drag him down for me, even if he dies, he has to die on the battlefield!"
The two guards didn't say a word when they heard this, and rushed in, one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged Brigade Commander Liu out like a dead dog.
Looking at Brigade Commander Liu who was dragged away, several staff officers in the command room shook their heads secretly, although they felt a little unbearable, but once the military order was implemented, no one could disobey the military order!
Time passed, but the artillery fire outside was still there.
The front-line command room is only about 500 meters away from the front line, so as soon as the artillery fire sounds, there is a torrent of dust and powder falling from the top of the head, causing everyone to have to remove the dust from the top from time to time when making plans.
"Huh? Why is the sound of the cannon outside so quiet? ”
At this moment, the battle had come to the eighteenth minute, and Song Zhe couldn't help but get up suspiciously.
It's weird, the opponent's artillery fire is obviously a few percent weaker than before.
I was a little anxious in my heart, couldn't it be that Lao Liu's department was about to be wiped out, right?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly came to the window.
"What's going on up front?"
"Uh.... Sir.... This situation...."
"I'll see for myself!"
Song Zhe snatched the telescope from the adjutant's hand and looked into the distance.
Just at this glance, he couldn't help but beat wildly, and everywhere he saw were corpses all over the field, and the battlefield was ploughed by artillery fire again, and the whole soil seemed to be much wetter.
There were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and some people had broken legs, and they cried and tried to crawl near their companions, but the next moment a bullet swept by, and their heads tilted and they were completely silent.
However, when the telescope's field of vision kept moving, Song Zhe was stunned.
He silently put down the binoculars, couldn't help but rub his eyes, and picked up the binoculars again to look in that direction.
This time he could finally be convinced, and when he put down his binoculars, his face full of shock.
"Whose man is that?"
This sentence seems to have no beginning and no end, which makes people a little confused.
But the adjutant just saw it clearly, thought about it and hurriedly said, "Sir, it should be the 323rd Battalion under Brigade Commander Liu.... Forehead.... Sir, I wanted to tell you earlier, this 323rd Battalion is very brave and has been at the forefront from the very beginning.
And strangely, their casualty rate is not high.
The battle loss rate of all other troops is almost above sixty percent, and they.... The battle loss rate is about 40%. ”
Listening to this, Song Zhe's eyes brightened a little, and he couldn't help but pat his thighs.
"Haha! Good! Good! All right! I didn't expect him Lao Liu to be beaten by Lao Tzu before, and now he is messing with Lao Tzu, I thought he was still in the bag like before.
I didn't expect there to be such an elite soldier under my hands! ”
Song Zhe couldn't help but applaud again and again, the original plan was to wait for the follow-up main force to take down these three turrets, but he never thought that he would be directly taken by these miscellaneous troops.
At this time, several staff officers were also alarmed by this voice, and they all looked at it.
"Unplugged?"
"It's like pulling one out!"
"That's fine, how much pressure can be reduced on the main force!"
Several staff officers had joyful expressions on their faces, and they did not expect such a result.
Today, this miscellaneous army can take out one turret, so when the main force presses up, won't the follow-up two turrets be directly pulled out in one go?
As time passed, the first wave of the offensive ended quickly, and while the momentum of the first wave of the offensive retreated, dense artillery cover-up began.
The huge roar shook the ears of Zhao Ming and the others.
Fortunately, the second round of rotation of the brothers' troops also came up, but when they withdrew, several brothers still lost their lives.
Back at the front line, everyone began to gasp for breath, some of them hadn't cried just now, they couldn't help but cry.
Many people are more or less wet in the crotch.
"Hehe, brothers, what are you crying about? We should be glad we came back alive, shouldn't we? ”
Zhao Ming laughed, and this laugh, everyone was stunned at first, and then the monkey took the lead in laughing a few times, and soon a few more brothers laughed, and soon there was laughter from more than 100 of them.
Just laughing, laughing, tears are irrepressibly flowing out.
Zhao Ming laughed for a while, listening to the brothers still laughing, but he took out a cigarette alone and smoked it without a match.
This wave of charge, with his experience, did not cause many casualties among the brothers.
But it also cost more than 80 brothers.
Many people died without firing even a single shot, and a few were afraid to walk and lay there, only to be beaten into a sieve by subsequent bullets.
