Chapter 523 The Ordinary Soldiers of Li Ziying

On the front line, veterans said: "Those who have come down from the battlefield intact are not lucky, they are only survivors!"

There is a price to be paid for this kind of survival, and the price is the blood and lives of comrades-in-arms. wwv m)

A sentry soldier from Li Ziying participated in the siege of Dongzhi County. The head of the sentry was Li Yunchu. The opportunity to make meritorious service also made Li Yunzuo's outstanding military exploits, which is something to talk about.

The composition of the team is mainly composed of long husbands, and the newly promoted four captains Xu Yuguang, Deng Tong, Gu Xin, and Hu Yinshan lead the team.

In the spring of that year, Gu Xin was not yet 22 years old, and he had just been promoted to captain. Looking at the intense and orderly training of other teams, he always felt that his team was really awkward, because he was a traitor and returned to the army. It's all this kind of stuff, those three eye-catching "surrenderers"! !Qiao Ren, He Zhuzi, and Wu Lai always find other teams to compete. [

Qiao Ren is a native of Dong Zhiyuan, he hates Hui people from the bottom of his heart, and he wants to rush ahead anyway if he has the opportunity, he is so lively that he is not easy to control. Well, good at mountain climbing, Wu Lai is a country bumpkin. Anyway, he has never even been to the county before. He stands guard in the fortress of the Hui army with a shotgun on his shoulders. .

The intensity of pre-war training is getting stronger and stronger. When practicing throwing, the soldiers are throwing it like crazy. Their arms are round and they are slamming the wooden hand grenade. This hand grenade throwing is the foundation of life on the battlefield. On the second day of practice, my arm was so swollen that I couldn't even lift it. The actual shooting practice was very intense. After practicing for about half a month, I also made a lot more shots than before.

These soldiers cast long distances and shot accurately, so they stood out from the crowd and joined Li Ziying with honor to join the battle in Dongzhi County.

On the night before the war, Gu Xin and the others sat by the tent and smoked silently. Wu Lai stared blankly at the stars in the night sky. He said that his mother could see him. Moonlight held the book, still watching silently.

"Don't embarrass me, Chief Li is looking at us. Only when we have done meritorious service this time will the other troops agree with us. Believe me, I will let you walk out of the battlefield alive." After saying that, he turned around and went into the tent to sleep. There were more than a dozen people crowded in a tent, and the soldiers who slept in their clothes couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, the Battle of Dongzhi County started. In the early morning, more than 100 soldiers from Li Ziying scattered and hid in the woods on the east side of Dongzhi County. The comrades huddled in twos and threes in the cold trenches. Li Ziying soldiers, and several other sentry brothers lurking, the soldiers of the Qing army silently waited for the order to attack.

When it was almost 4 o'clock, Wu Lai groped to Gu Xin's side and sat down by the simple trench. After a long silence, Wu Lai finally spoke: "Captain, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago. A brother from the fourth team came to see me, I wanted to buy them a drink, but I didn’t have any money, so I stole some broken silver from you, don’t you mind.” Then he gave Gu Xin a handful of broken silver, and ran away opened.

Gu Xin wanted to stop him, but Wu Lai quickly disappeared into the mist.

After 5 o'clock, there was a rumbling sound of artillery in the distance. The sound was a bit like thunder in the sky. It seemed that the artillery unit had already connected with the enemy.

At 5:30, under the command of the sentry chief Li Yunchu, they stepped out of the simple trench and began to search and advance. Gu Xin held up the battle flag and walked in the front of the team, followed by Qiao Ren, and behind him was He Zhuzi.

At the beginning of the battle, Li Ziying was still in the front position, but after seven turns and eight turns, Li Ziying moved to the back of the big army, watching the friendly troops rushing into the city all the way, especially when he saw the elder brother meeting the big brother When the banner was raised, the soldiers felt very uncomfortable.

People are afraid of death, but when a soldier goes to the battlefield and cannot get a fight, the feeling is worse than death. Some time ago, Gu Xin and others have been wandering around in the mountains, searching for the guerrillas of the Hui army and the large forces of the Qing army Afterwards, the surviving guerrillas of the Hui army often attacked and harassed the transport troops in the rear of the Qing army. The task of Li Ziying was to find them and eliminate them.

On the morning of March 3th, the Qing army transport team was shot four times sporadically by the returning guerrillas, and the accuracy was astonishingly poor. After returning to the army, he ordered Gu Xin to lead the team. Fang Zhiyong, the leader of the reconnaissance brigade, came back and reported that there was a small group of returning army activities on the nearby hills. It seemed that the enemy had not noticed that the Qing army had surrounded them. The shooting just now might be a coincidence.

The Guxin team quickly crossed the reconnaissance brigade and moved towards the highland where there was an enemy situation. There was an open field about 50 meters around this highland, and the grass had obvious traces of trampling. A circular trench, it is estimated that the returning army has at least two teams of troops.

Li Yunchu led the follow-up personnel to approach the famous highland one after another. The sentry officer Li Yunchu ordered that it must be taken down before dark. Several captains and corporal leaders began to move closer to the sentry officer Li Yunzhu and listened to his assignments.

Li Yunzhu ordered: Send the first and second teams to disperse to meet the enemy from the front, the third team and the supervisors will detour to attack the high ground from both sides, the third team will be responsible for fire support, and the fourth team will follow up behind the first and second teams.

The task of Guxin's team is to forcibly pass through the open land under the circular trench. After capturing the trench, relying on the trench, cooperate with the second team to kill the bunker and seize the entire famous highland.

It was the first time to participate in the battle. The soldiers were very excited, and they never thought that they would die in the battle. Qiao Ren was extremely excited and looked around, very dishonest. Gu Xin and Wu Lai had to press Qiao Ren to the ground for half an hour. Finally, gunshots suddenly sounded from both sides of the high ground, and within a few seconds, there was a lot of gunfire. When Wang Gao heard the gunshots from there, he jumped up and was about to charge. Gu Xin grabbed him and dragged him. He came back and pressed it to the ground again.

Gu Xin shouted angrily: "Listen to my order!"

Wang Gao's chest rose and fell, and there was nowhere to vent his resentment. He grabbed a handful of grass and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing like a cow.

After a while, there was a figure shaking in the trenches on the high ground, and the returning army couldn't bear it any longer, and began to deploy troops to the two wings. Gu Xin turned around and ordered: "Open the safety, and open the string of the grenade!"

"Come on." Gu Xin and his comrades rushed to the high ground. Gu Xin ran at the forefront, just running with a gun in his hand. Those few seconds were the slowest in his life. His mind was blank and he only thought about it. : "I am the captain, I have to take the lead, if I die, I have to die first"

Soon Wang Gao overtook Gu Xin and rushed to the front. In the blink of an eye, the team fell a lot, just a few seconds after the first team charged, the enemy's guns also rang out, and the guns roared from the ears. Flying over the edge, whichever shot is accurate, it will kill people.

Wang Gao threw a grenade, and the smoke was still cleared. The first team had already rushed across the open ground. Wang Gao was already close to the trench. Just when his right foot stepped on the edge of the trench, he staggered and fell down. He fell heavily into a pit under the trench.

The second team also began to pass through the open ground. The Qing soldiers threw rows of grenades into the trenches and suppressed the enemy's musket fire with continuous explosions. At this time, Wang Gao suddenly jumped out of the pit again, like a wounded man. The leopard jumped onto the edge of the trench in a few steps. In the smoke, he tightly grasped the enemy's hot gun barrel, and desperately lifted it up, grabbing the gun back. At the same time, he shouted without turning his head: "Captain, hurry up!"

Huijun also clung to the gun tightly and fought back with him. Wang Gao held the hot barrel in his left hand, and hit Huijun's head with the rifle butt with his right hand.

Gu Xin jumped into the trench and found that another returning soldier pointed a gun at Wang Gao at this time, so he shot him immediately, and the son got in from the right armpit. The first time he killed, the distance was less than 5 meters.

However, that guy also pulled the trigger the moment he fell to the ground. Wang Gao shook a few times in the rain, and then fell headlong on the edge of the trench. When a returning army cat bent its back and was about to get into the hole on the trench wall, it was stabbed on the shoulder by Xu Daya, the second captain, and then a small soldier of the second team went up and hit the butt of a gun, and the returning army immediately collapsed on the ground. .

Sentinel Li Yunchu led the third and fourth teams to occupy both ends of the trench. He ran over and ordered the first team to prepare to blast the bunker quickly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Xin hurriedly dragged Wu to find Wang Gao.

Wang Gao was lying on his side in the pit below the trench with his rifle in his arms, curled up, moaning softly, the front of his jacket was soaked in blood, he was hit, I hurriedly unbuttoned his shirt, the wound below the collarbone, As he breathed, he kept gushing blood, and black blood clots condensed around the hole.

"Stinky boy, I can't die." Gu Xin poured out a whole bottle of Zhuge Xingjun on the wound, and covered the wound with a bag of cotton.

Wu bit his lips tightly, his face was pale and bloody, and he tore off the first-aid kit several times with his trembling hands. Gu Xin asked Wu to lift Wang Gao's upper body and bandage him carefully.

"Wu, take good care of him, get some water for Wang Gao." Gu Xin told Wu to hold Wang Gao's wound, not allowing him to leave even a single step.

Then Gu Xin turned around and turned into the trench with his gun in hand. At this time, there was a brief silence on the top of the mountain, which was almost breathless. The soldiers of the Qing army were ready to charge, and the returning army seemed to be waiting for the Qing army Under the cover of the firepower of the whole sentry, the two blasters of the second team jumped out of the trench. The enemy leaned on the bunker and aimed and fired. The two blasters were injured one after another and fell on the grass.

He Zhuzi wrapped eight grenades around his waist and tied three explosive packs together with leggings. With the explosive packs in his arms, he jumped out of the trench for the second time. All kinds of firearms were more fierce than before. roared, licking the entrance and firing holes of the bunker with tongues of fire.

The gun in Gu Xin's hand also kept shooting at the shooting holes of the bunker. At the same time, there was a violent explosion on the high ground, followed by another burst of grenade explosions, followed by another big explosion. The firepower stopped abruptly, Gu Xin and his comrades rushed up against the scorching heat wave, He Zhuzi sprained his legs and groped in the gunpowder smoke, laughing like crazy.

In the end, Li Ziying attacked the devastated highlands, and found a total of 53 corpses of returned soldiers and some disgusting corpses in the trenches and ruined fortifications.

Li Yunchu also lost 15 of his subordinates, standing silently on the high ground and weeping.

Gu Xin took a few soldiers to see Wang Gao, and he sat up at some point, his originally cheerful and optimistic face was so haggard that it was difficult to recognize.

"It's good to be alive, we will carry you down the mountain." Gu Xin led the soldiers to cut down trees and make a simple stretcher.

Wang Gao wanted to say righteous words, but looking at the dignified face of sentry officer Li Yunzhu, he could only cry silently. He was still alive, and the other 15 comrades in arms were buried in this land forever. [

The battle on March 3 made Li Ziying, the youngsters who had just entered the battlefield, become mature and alert. Some people were still afraid of death, but more of them were hatred. Comrades who got along day and night, they left you in the blink of an eye. , especially those soldiers who had fellow villagers who died in the battle, they had to endure even greater suffering.

In the next two days, Li Ziying participated in several small battles, basically searching and digging holes. At the cost of slightly injuring four people, Li Ziying killed 39 enemies and captured 15. people.

Everyone has been in high spirits for the past few days, and the shadow of the battle has faded away. The loess is flying around in the jungle on the high slopes, and every step you take may be shot coldly. Too emotional thoughts on the battlefield are often dangerous. As the captain, Gu Xin often communicates with the comrades in a team in his own way, pats the shoulders, shakes hands, and the soldiers can gain strength from him.

Now Li Yunchuang is facing the morning glow, waving the revolver in his hand, Gu Xin is holding the Li character flag high, rushing to the front of the Li character battalion, more than 160 soldiers have entered Dongzhi County, and they want to fight for this battle flag.
