Opening game, American Tycoon

On the way to Berkeley, Kang Mingwei's unit joined forces with the vanguard of the friendly army chasing the enemy.Thus, the battle to surround and attack Berkeley began.

The large forces of the friendly army advanced southward along the north face of Berkeley, and the troops pressing from the south also attacked northward.In this way, the task of frontal attack naturally fell to Kang Mingwei's troops.

It was raining heavily in the midsummer torrential rain, and the direction of Berkeley was dingy, as if no one lived there at all.

But the resistance of the defenders was very tenacious, and fierce fighting began in the afternoon.The heavy rain made the battlefield extremely muddy, and the battle was very difficult.The soldiers were covered in mud, and they ran and fought silently.

The enemy dug three or four trenches. When the troops occupied the enemy's first trench, they found that the trench was full of muddy water like a small river.The soldiers' feet were soaked in muddy water, and the grenades and mortar shells around them continued to explode.An irritating battle.

Whether it is a soldier or an officer, they all hope to make an assault as soon as possible and bring the battle to an end as soon as possible.

"Damn it, is this how people live?"

Once again, the chief couldn't help complaining, he was already forty, how could he be reduced to this point, fighting with them in the muddy trench against the torrential rain.

Accidentally lost his life.

"boom……"

Once again, with a gunshot, a soldier with his head exposed fell down, and the blood instantly stained the muddy trench red.

"Damn Yankees."

At a distance of hundreds of meters, a sergeant fired at the enemy with a submachine gun, and the machine gun also fired desperately.

But the violent counterattack did not restore morale. Morale seemed a little low, and the dull and melancholy pain enveloped the entire battlefield. Even the sound of artillery and light machine gun shooting lost its former crispness and seemed so dull in the pouring rain.

The battle was fought in such a way that the company commander Shinzaburo had an unconcealable anger on his face.This guy from Africa, whose Japanese name is Masaki Jinsaburo, who was born in the colonial guard, fought very bravely, wiping the rainwater from his forehead to the tip of his nose again and again, and kept nagging in his mouth:

"Hey, I can't help it. Hey, I can't help it..."

Everyone knows that if they shoot at each other in such a lifeless way, the problem will not be solved at any time, and if they can't find a solution, the soldiers will stay in the trench and soak in the rain until dawn.

I dare not even think about that situation, how painful it will be to the soldiers, and tomorrow's combat effectiveness will definitely be affected!

"Assault!" The real company commander said to himself.

"There's no alternative to assault."

He lowered his head and carefully examined the situation of his subordinates. It seemed that the loss of troops was not too great, and finally he decided to make an assault.In front of my eyes, grenades exploded one after another, only 80 meters away from the enemy's trench.

"Okay!"

With a yell, he crawled up from the ditch, clawing at the dirt with both hands, brandished his katana sword, gave the order to charge, and was the first to stand up and rush out.

Unfortunately, this assault failed miserably.If the soldiers' morale is high and their movements are coordinated, the company commander rushes out, and all the soldiers will immediately smash into the enemy's position like a withdrawn net.

However, at this moment, although the soldiers all hoped to rush up and end the battle as soon as possible, they still hadn't shaken off their low morale and depression, which made the whole company's attack messed up.

The company commander suddenly yelled "Assault", and then rushed out.The soldiers around him also shouted "Go!" and quickly followed.It is a pity that the soldiers on the left and right flanks moved more slowly the farther they were from him, so that the line of attack formed the two sides of an obtuse angle with the real company commander as its apex.There is no doubt that Captain Shinzaburo has naturally become an excellent target for the enemy's machine guns.

As the company commander, Shinzaburo took the lead in a very mighty posture. When he made an assault, he held a pistol in his left hand and waved a samurai sword bought before joining the army with his right hand. This kind of assault is really brave and heroic.However, when he was about to jump over the obstacle in front of him, his body straightened up, and he fell into the muddy water, and never got up again.

Zhao Guodong, who was following the company commander, was injured by the flying shrapnel. He tried to climb into the roadside and use the ruins to protect himself, but his legs injured by the shrapnel were not only painful but also bleeding profusely.To make matters worse, American soldiers in the distance shot at him immediately after spotting him. One bullet sent his index finger flying, and just as he crawled to the side of the road, another bullet broke his right forearm, and then he lost his life. Gaining consciousness, he vaguely felt someone dragging him, dragging him to the back.

Under the command of the company commander, the company broke into the enemy's position in a row of mountains and seas, and occupied the trench. However, most of the soldiers who attacked with the company commander in the central part were killed or injured. The second lieutenant immediately took over the command of the company, and at the same time appointed a platoon leader, Kang Mingwei, as the acting deputy company commander.

"What a lucky fellow."

After learning that the platoon leader was promoted to acting deputy company commander, the director was a little envious. If there is no accident, platoon leader Kang will soon be promoted to a warrant officer. Although he is a temporary warrant officer, he is still an officer. He may even have the opportunity to return to China ——According to the regulations, he needs to return to China to receive half a year of officer education, and then he will be promoted as an officer just like a graduate of a military school.

able to go home...

Of course, Kang Mingwei also knew what this appointment meant. Before he had time to think too much, he led two soldiers back to clean up the company commander's body.

A soldier was lying next to the lieutenant's body in the mud and water, with a bayonet attached to his gun, guarding the company commander's body. When he saw Kang Mingwei approaching, he stood up and reported with his gun:
"Report that the company commander has died!"

Kang Mingwei didn't answer, he knelt on one leg next to the real company commander, turned his body over and placed him on his lap.At this time, I was finally able to see clearly. The company commander's head, feet, and abdomen had been hit by five or six machine gun bullets, and his whole body was covered with sticky blood and muddy water.The heavier rain washed the dirt off his face.The large face with the few sparse beards looked extremely pale.

Kang Mingwei carefully wiped away the dirt on Zhensaburo's lips with the cuff of his coat. At this time, two soldiers found two wooden sticks from nearby, took out a portable marching tarpaulin from their rucksacks, tied them A makeshift stretcher.The cry of the charge sounded again from the front.Hastily led the troops to pursue.Of course Kang Mingwei's platoon command was performed by Sergeant Sergeant Itataro, the deputy of the platoon.

Raising his head, Kang Mingwei glanced at the ongoing assault ahead, and then looked around at the moaning wounded lying in the nearby paddy fields, as friendly artillery shells whizzed past overhead.Successor troops have already come up from behind.

In the boundless heavy rain, the car was vaguely discernible.After thinking about it, Kang Mingwei said to the two soldiers:

"Please, the two of you, escort the body of the company commander to the rear."

The two soldiers quickly carried them on the stretcher. Kang Mingwei picked up the real company commander's samurai sword from the mud. Although he didn't know whether the 2054 sword belonged to his family or bought it from a pawn shop, he still wiped it. After cleaning it, he inserted it into the scabbard again, then picked up the pistol that fell in the muddy water and stuffed it into his holster, and finally put it all on his body.

When the soldiers were about to carry the company commander's body on the road, he said again.

"There are still many wounded here. After you reach the rear, ask the health workers to come over immediately."

Then he gave an order to the chief who was covered in mud.

"Director, you stay here to take care of the wounded."

Then he stood there motionless, watched the corpse of the company commander go far away, gave a military salute at the end, and then ran to the front line dripping on the muddy ground.
