my bright sword career

Chapter 304
The headquarters of the Ninth Brigade was suddenly raided, Suzuki Shigeyasu was forced to evacuate, and the entire Ninth Brigade fell into a leaderless situation. This was immediately reflected on the battlefield. The first thing that felt this was the attack on the right wing of the Ninth Brigade. independent group.

Squatting under a big locust tree, Li Yunlong, who was commanding the troops to attack, put down his binoculars and said to Zhao Gang, "Old Zhao, have you noticed that the little devil's resistance seems to be getting a little messy."

Zhao Gang is naturally good at doing political work, but he is far behind in military affairs. He looked at it and shook his head: "I don't see it, what's wrong?"

"Look carefully at the position on the right."

Li Yunlong pointed to the position on the right and said: "We have launched two attacks, and each time their resistance was fierce. In order to deal with our tanks, they even sent several waves of death squads, which made me a little dizzy, but Just now when I sent the third battalion to attack from the right, the opponent's resistance was very weak, and the third battalion was almost attacked.

According to my analysis, the opponent either lacks troops, or there is a problem with the internal command, otherwise they would not have made such an obvious mistake. "

Zhao Gang thought for a while: "Could it be that the devils did this on purpose to lure us into launching a general attack?"

Li Yunlong smiled contemptuously: "If the devil's strength is exhausted, it is a brigade of thousands of people. Here we have a whole regiment of more than 3000 people, plus a tank company, and even an artillery battalion for support.

I, Lao Li, have never fought this kind of wealth battle in my life. If the brigade commander asked me to settle accounts for fear of too many casualties due to the storm, this position would have been taken down long ago.The devils will not be ignorant of this situation, how dare they lure us to launch a general attack? "

"Hmm..." Zhao Gang nodded, "Then what do you want to do?"

"What should we do?" Li Yunlong licked his somewhat dry lips, with a smirk on his face: "Don't care what happened to the devil, I've decided on this position! Pass my order, everyone get ready, launch in 10 minutes General attack, I want to wipe out the brigade of devils."

Soon, a burst of passionate bugles resounded on the battlefield. Thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers, accompanied by more than a dozen tanks, rushed towards the Japanese army's position like a tide, and a fierce battle began...

At the same time, the armored battalion, the first battalion and the second battalion, which were attacking the front of the Japanese army, also found that the resistance of the Japanese army had become much weaker. Facing the infantry attack of the Liantai militia, the second line of defense quickly broke through several places. The position, and soon the second line of defense collapsed like a broken river dam.

Temporary Headquarters of the Liantai Militia in Yangping Town
The staff officer hastily came to report: "Regiment... the devil's second line of defense has been captured by us, and the remnants of the Japanese army are retreating in the direction of the 37th Division. Battalion Commander Xiao Zhankui and Battalion Commander Li Changan asked for instructions whether to continue the pursuit."

Although Gao Hongming didn't know at this time that his troops touched the headquarters of the Ninth Brigade by mistake, forcing Shigeyasu Suzuki to withdraw in a hurry, so that the Ninth Brigade had no leader for a while and caused chaos in the troops, but Out of the sensitivity of a soldier, he said without hesitation: "Nonsense, why don't we do things like beating a dog in the water?

Pass on my order, and the troops will stick to it, and we must try our best to wipe out the devil's vital forces.Tell Xiao Zhankui that only dead devils are good devils, let him let go of his hands and feet, and hit me!But remember, be careful of the people of the 37th Division, and don't fight recklessly when encountering a large-scale counterattack by the devils, just retreat quickly. "

"understand!"

The battle lasted until the evening before it gradually stopped, and the attacking troops withdrew one after another according to the original order.

Li Yunlong led the independent regiment back to Gaojiazhuang, and the armored battalion, second battalion, and third battalion retreated to Yangping Town.

After a big battle, all the soldiers who participated in the battle were very tired. Many soldiers fell asleep in the tents, but those company commanders and battalion commanders were not so relaxed. They were nervously counting today's results and losses. .

In a company station, Lei Huo, who had just counted last night, dragged his tired body to his tent, and habitually shouted: "Big man, hurry up and maintain the machine gun, don't wait until you use it to be in a hurry."

"Big man!"

The familiar voice did not ring out, and Leihuo just wanted to get angry when he suddenly remembered that the heavy machine gunner had been killed in today's battle, and he couldn't help feeling sad for a while.

In a daze, he sat down on the ground. Although he felt a little tight when he sat down, he didn't care about it at this moment.

He casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth to light it, but he couldn't find the lighter. At this moment, he only heard a metallic "ding" sound, and a bunch of faint blue flames appeared in front of his eyes. flashing.

Leihuo lit the cigarette and was about to move it away, but the person who came came put the lighter in his hand.

When he looked up, he saw Lu Xianping standing next to him, holding a white lighter in his hand, "Company commander... I found this on the body of the big man. I know you have the best relationship on weekdays. Stay here." Make a miss."

Touching the silver-white lighter that was still warm, Lei Huo seemed to have the big man's simple and honest smile in front of him.

After being silent for a while, Laihu stuffed the lighter into his pocket, took out a cigarette and threw it to Lu Xianping, and the two sat on the ground and began to puff.

A cigarette was about to be finished, Lei Huo then broke the silence and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I should be the one who died just now, the big guy died for me, but now I survived, you say that in this world Isn't it very unfair?"

Lu Xianping didn't speak, he knew that his company commander needed someone to talk to right now.

Leihuo flicked his finger, and the cigarette butt disappeared in an instant. He exhaled a long puff of smoke, and then said lightly: "I have been eating this bowl of rice with severed heads for more than ten years. I used to fight against the Northwest Army with Chief Yan. I also fought against the Central Army, and now I'm fighting the Japanese with Senior Commander Gao.

For so many years, almost all the brothers who ate this bowl of rice with me have died, but I have cried a few times at the beginning, and then I have never shed tears for the dead brothers. Do you know why? "

He didn't wait for Lu Xianping to speak, and said to himself: "Because I participated in the Central Plains War less than three months after I joined the army. I remember that my squad leader was killed by the Northwest Army. I cried when I saw the squad leader's body. , Later, the old company commander taught me that we just lived a few years longer than the dead brothers, anyway, I will go down to accompany them in a short time, why are you crying so sad, kid?

It is not easy for us soldiers to live. The more days we can live, the more fun we have. Are you tired of being sad all day long? "

Speaking of this, Leihuo smiled wryly and said, "I haven't cried much since then. I just watched my familiar brothers leave one by one, and I still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Do you think I'm too hypocritical?"

Lu Xianping didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say: "Company commander, it's different this time. We're fighting the Japanese devils this time. The regiment said that when we finish fighting the devils, life will be much better, and we won't have to fight anymore." There is a war.

I've heard that Tuan Zuo's family has thousands of acres of fertile land. We will all farm for Tuan Zuo at that time, and Tuan Zuo's generosity will definitely not treat us badly. I heard that the tenants in Tuan Zuo's family rent Only charge [-]%. "

After hearing Lu Xianping's words, Lei Huo couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Little Shandong, you're really born to be a farmer."

Lu Xianping rubbed his head and laughed...
