Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 271 Arsenal

Wang Xuexin did not hesitate. He handed over the command of the defense line to Xie Baoqing, the deputy company commander, and then called to Huzi: "First row, follow me!"

As he spoke, he turned around and ran back with his rifle in hand.

Huzi is a veteran, and his advantage is that he will firmly carry out Wang Xuexin's orders at any time.

At this time, when Wang Xuexin called out, he immediately followed Wang Xuexin with a row.

Although the platoon at this time was called a platoon, because of the three-three system, one veteran led two recruits, and the actual number of people was more than 100, which was comparable to a company.

Wang Xuexin led them to walk along the side of the trench for a while, then entered the traffic trench and circled to the flank of the high ground behind him, then raised his head to Huzi who was following behind him, and ordered: "Take two classes to stand on the high ground, pay attention to disguise as Enemy of the people, is the mission clear?"

"Yes, it's clear!" Hu Zi responded, waved his hand, and shouted: "Squad [-] and Squad [-] follow me, Squad [-] follows the company commander!"

The monitor of the third class is Wang Zhisheng who is good at playing landmines.

This is also the main reason why Wang Xuexin habitually called out to the platoon whenever he had something to do... He used to be the leader of the platoon, and he could understand each class in this platoon.

For example, Wang Zhisheng is Wang Xuexin's old subordinate.

The former squad leader of the third squad was the Zhou Ping who threw himself on a grenade for the safety of others.

Afterwards, Zhang Qingcai became the third squad leader, and Wang Zhisheng became the squad leader after Zhang Qingcai was promoted to the third platoon leader.

Because he knows the roots and even understands its history, it is handy to command.

Otherwise, Wang Xuexin would feel strange if Liang Guisheng or Zhang Qingcai's platoon were pulled into the same class at this moment.

Wang Xuexin led the soldiers all the way towards the arsenal, and saw from a distance that the guard platoon of the arsenal deployed the main force at the foot of the mountain.

The defense force of the arsenal has only one reinforced platoon of more than forty people.

This is because the arsenal is located behind the headquarters, and if the enemy wants to attack, he must first go through Lujiagou.

From this point of view, the arsenal does not need too many guards.

It also makes sense for the guard platoon to deploy the main force at the foot of the mountain.

The enemy suddenly appeared from the rear, that is, from the west. This is the orientation of the entrance of the arsenal. The enemy is likely to shoot grenades or even mortar shells into the opening.

In order to prevent the arsenal from being attacked by the enemy, the guard platoon must of course build a line of defense in front of the arsenal.

However, the guard platoon obviously did not expect that their threat did not come from the direction of the gunshots, but from the devils interspersed from the flanks.

"The position on the top of the mountain!" Wang Xuexin shouted to the guard platoon out of breath while running fiercely: "Return to the position on the top of the mountain!"

The leader of the guard platoon was a soldier named Gao Deshan, who was in his early thirties but had been a soldier for five years.

The reason why he was transferred to guard the arsenal was because he had previously served as the captain of a district squadron, and later served as a company commander in the Eighth Route Army.

Although these two positions are not high-ranking, they both require the ability to stand alone, and the defense of the arsenal also has this requirement.

Before Gao Deshan became a guard, he happened to be the company commander of the Independent Regiment.

Gao Deshan once said to Wang Xuexin with emotion: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, if I hadn't played a few more rings in the martial arts competition, the commander of the third battalion today would be mine, and you should be my subordinate!"

Wang Xuexin was a little curious: "Then why did you participate in the martial arts competition?"

Gao Deshan tilted his mouth, and replied with regret: "No one told me that this is the selection of guards, only that there are prizes..."

As he spoke, he pointed the tooth cup in his hand to Wang Xuexin, and said, "There are prizes, but I sold myself for this thing!"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help laughing.

He could see that Gao Deshan hoped to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield like Wang Xuexin. He often sighed that in a few years, his body might not be able to move.

Therefore, as soon as the gunshots rang out from the rear, the first thing Gao Deshan thought of was to bring troops to reinforce.

But after thinking about it, he let out a heavy "ah".

The task of the guard platoon is to protect the arsenal. At this time, it is more important to do its job well instead of joining forces where there is no battle.

Therefore, Gao Deshan could only suppress his impulse and lead the troops to build a line of defense under the mountain.

Now, seeing Wang Xuexin running back all the way, still shouting about the position on the top of the mountain, he thought to himself, "It's terrible, the devil has penetrated to the side!"

Gao Deshan did not hesitate, and shouted: "Everyone is there, withdraw to the top of the mountain!"

However, it was discovered that it was too late.

Just as Gao Deshan and Wang Xuexin led the soldiers to the halfway up the mountain, there was a burst of gunfire and explosions from the position on the top of the mountain.

Gao Deshan was anxious and regretful, and urged the soldiers to speed up one after another. He hoped to rush to the enemy before he took the position on the top of the mountain and repel the enemy.

But the enemy's speed was too fast, and after a while, the machine gun bullets "clacked" from the position on the top of the mountain, pressing all the soldiers on the slope and being unable to move.

Gao Deshan slammed his fist on the ground in frustration, and cursed: "Damn it, all of them are there, take back the position on the top of the mountain..."

"Platoon leader Gao!" Wang Xuexin ran up from behind with a cat on his back to stop Gao Deshan's recklessness.

In fact, this is not entirely reckless, it should be said that it is a kind of guilt.

Because of the loss of the hilltop position due to a command error and the sacrifice of a squad of comrades, I felt that I had the responsibility to take the position back and avenge these comrades.

But the battlefield has never been a place for impulsiveness.

The next step is not simply "an eye for an eye with an eye for an eye" and the end of a battle with the enemy.

Wang Xuexin leaned against the mound with his gun in his hand, and reminded Gaode Mountain next to him: "Our mission is to protect the arsenal, not to regain the position on the top of the mountain!"

One sentence awakened Gao Deshan, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

If you lead the troops to rush towards the top of the mountain for a while, I'm afraid that everyone including the arsenal will not be spared.

After thinking about it, Gao Deshan asked: "But the enemy has occupied the position on the top of the mountain, and we have no danger to defend. How should we fight?"

What Gao Deshan said was correct. The highlands around the arsenal did not have anti-slope fortifications. The enemy's machine guns were mounted on the top of the mountain and they shot to the end. The grenades can be dropped wherever they want. All the unfavorable factors are almost everywhere.

Just when Wang Xuexin hesitated, the devils charged under the cover of machine guns and grenades.

Wang Xuexin looked over his head, good guy, it's that group of guys with submachine guns again... These bastards are keeping a close eye on Lujiagou, making sneak attacks again and again.

The military situation was urgent, Wang Xuexin didn't think much, and ordered: "Send the smoke bombs, retreat to the cave, hold the entrance of the cave and wait for reinforcements!"

"Understood!" Gao Deshan echoed, then turned around and ordered: "Send the smoke bomb!"

Smoke bombs were thrown out one after another, and the slope was soon covered with smoke.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Xuexin and others divided into several parts and withdrew into the cave where the arsenal was located.
