The War of Resistance - #1316 - Chapter 1308: Those who pay their wages should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wilderness

The moment the gunshot rang out, many people on the Chinese front turned their gazes to the east, including brigade commander Liu Chengyi and his guard company commander Shang Zhen.

The reason is that Shang Zhen and some people are accompanying brigade commander Liu Chengyi to inspect the frontline positions.

The 337th brigade rushed to thousands of miles in a hurry, but there was no war after arriving, so Old Mao Wang complained about it.

However, watching the complaints can’t change the reality, and the 337th Brigade began to build fortifications on the east bank of the Baisha River.

The Japanese army came from the east. Why did the 337th brigade build a position on the east bank? Do they also want to learn from ancient China’s last stand?

That is of course impossible!

The last stand is a matter of the ancient cold weapon era. Both the enemy and the enemy use cold weapons.

But it can’t do it now, it’s the era of hot weapons, not to mention the Japanese army has an absolute superiority in firepower, if they dare to fight back, unless they don’t want to fight again in the future.

As for why you don’t want to fight anymore, do you still have to ask? Under the superior firepower of the Japanese army, they will live and die with the position sooner or later!

There are three reasons why Liu Chengyi ordered the construction of fortifications on the east bank of the Baisha River.

One is that the terrain is favorable, with stretches of low mountains.

One is because Gaocheng is on the east bank of the river, they can rely on Gaocheng to fight street battles with the Japanese army.

The last one is because the Baisha River is only a tributary of the Huaihe River after all. Some sections of the river can be waded across without boats, so it is not a dead end. hit.

So after reaching the Baisha River line, the 337th Brigade was digging trenches and doing fortifications. Just when the guard post in front fired at the Japanese scouts, Liu Chengyi and the others happened to be in the trenches of the main position behind.

The gunfire in front was messy but not intensive, and an officer expressed his judgment to Liu Chengyi, and that officer happened to be the company commander of Ge Changli’s squad in front.

A few minutes later, a soldier ran over from the front to report the situation. That soldier was the soldier named Tie Zi sent by Ge Changli to report.

“Brigade Commander, let’s go back?” Li Xiang, the chief of staff who accompanied Liu Chengyi to inspect the front line, suggested.

Liu Chengyi ignored Li Xiang’s suggestion and asked the guards for a telescope to observe ahead.

Seeing that Liu Chengyi didn’t want to go back, Li Xiang winked at Shang Zhen who was standing beside him.

Only a small group of Japanese troops were active in the front. Of course, Li Xiang would not let Shang Zhen lead someone to force the brigade commander back to the rear. He just wanted Shang Zhen to persuade Liu Chengyi.

It’s just that before Shang Zhen persuaded them, everyone saw that there was another person running back from the bare rocky mountain in front of them.

Liu Chengyi frowned, what’s going on?

But when the second soldier appeared in front of Liu Chengyi and the others and began to report the situation ahead, his frown became deeper and deeper as the soldier told.

It stands to reason that the Japanese army was in the Ming Dynasty, and Ge Changli’s security squad was in the dark. Although the Japanese army had a few more people than Ge Changli’s squad, it was better to act first, and Ge Changli’s squad would not suffer.

According to the second soldier’s narration, it was indeed the case at the beginning, and his squad still killed several Japanese soldiers.

But who would have thought that their squad would only have an advantage when firing the first shot, and they would be at a disadvantage when the Japanese army began to fight back and the enemy and us began to shoot at each other, and the Japanese army who was responsible for covering the opposite side also started shooting, and they were even more helpless. power.

In just a few short minutes, Ge Changli’s squad killed several Japanese soldiers. It is unclear, but apart from Tiezi who came back to report first and the soldier who just ran back, six people in his squad were killed on that mountain. , and the two people who remained, including squad leader Ge Changli, were injured, so they could only stand still because they could not move.

There is only one reason for saying a thousand words and ten thousand, and that is that the Japanese army’s marksmanship is too accurate!

In this soldier’s narration, everyone present imagined this picture: when the squad fired the first platoon gun at the Japanese army, it really took advantage, but when the rest and the distant Japanese army began to shoot at the Japanese army When they shot, most of them were shot almost at the same time, as if the Japanese army had also laid an ambush on them.

“First platoon leader, you take someone to rescue Ge Changli and the others for me, and you may kill the remaining little devils!” At this time, the company commander ordered.

The brigade commander was right in front of him, and the company commander didn’t think that if his squad hadn’t run back, they would have been wiped out by the Japanese army in an instant!

This was an act of slapping himself in the face by the Japanese army. There were still two wounded on it, but he had to save them.

The current situation is like this, the Japanese army’s strength is not large, and it seems that they are just Japanese scouts, not to mention whether it is possible to destroy this group of Japanese scouts, and now the two wounded on the rocky mountain in front are not rescued, it is impossible of!

There are so few Japanese soldiers, if I dare not even rescue the wounded, it will definitely hurt morale. Although I don’t know how seriously Ge Changli and the soldier were injured, I dare not send someone to rescue them if they die after returning or if they are still alive. Just died there, the impact on morale is definitely different.

The platoon leader who received the order ran down the mountain with his soldiers, but at this moment, the brigade commander Liu Chengyi suddenly said without warning: “Shang Zhen, take your people over too.”

“Ah?” Shang Zhen was taken aback for a moment and then his face became happy, but after he instinctively moved his body, he hurriedly looked at Chief of Staff Li Xiang again.

“Is something wrong with the brigade commander?” Li Xiang asked hurriedly.

Shang Zhen is now the company commander of the guard company, and he brought a dozen people to **** Liu Chengyi who was inspecting the forward position. Does Liu Chengyi do anything wrong, so do you have to ask?

“Those who pay wages for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wilderness.” Liu Chengyi seemed to be sighing.

His words stunned the people around him again, and then he lowered the telescope in his hand and said, “Let’s go, let’s go back!”

Then he ignored the others and went to the left along the trench, where there was the exit of the trench.

As soon as Liu Chengyi moved, his personal guard Luan Zhengwu naturally followed him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

But the rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and they all said that all the orders of the army should be concise and easy to understand, but who knew that a dignified brigade commander would come up with such a sentence at this time?

Li Xiang was always with Liu Chengyi, and he had heard Liu Chengyi muttering this sentence before, so he naturally understood what it meant.

He already understood what Liu Chengyi meant, but when Li Xiang looked at Shang Zhen again, he saw Shang Zhen waved his hand and said, “Go! We must save our two brothers!”

After finishing speaking, Shang Zhen stretched out his hand, but picked up the 38-type rifle that was placed on the trench by a soldier of the Northeast Army beside him, pressed the edge of the trench and jumped out, and the words came out only after he got out of the trench. Passed over: “I will pay you back!”

As soon as Shang Zhen moved, the dozen or so soldiers he brought jumped out of the trench.

Li Xiang glanced at Shang Zhen’s back in surprise, then turned around and followed Liu Chengyi
