Chapter 20 How to prove that the enemy killed on the battlefield was killed by oneself
Xia Yuan nodded: "He is right. His head was really stupid before, and then he was hit in the head with a gun butt, and suddenly it became easy to use."
"Then you are even more powerful. You have been stupid for so many years and your brain is so good. You are even more powerful than us."
Xu Liu felt even more envious.
He thought Xia Yuan used to practice martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was stupid.
It only took more than a month of training in the recruit camp to reach this level. It is really amazing.
Xia Yuan smiled: "This kind of thing still depends on talent. People with good talent can learn everything quickly. Some people are born to be sharpshooters. As soon as they touch a gun, they can reach a level that many veterans cannot reach."
Xu Liu agreed: "I agree very much with this. In the past, our company had a sharpshooter who was very accurate in shooting. There was no shooting training when he was a recruit, but in the first battle, he killed more than a dozen bandits by himself.
"
Old Man Wang seemed to have a mysterious confidence in his marksmanship, or maybe he had no general concept of war. He said: "Shooting does not mean you die if you hit. Killing more than a dozen people in a battle means you are a sharpshooter? Is it that simple?"
"
"You think the problem is too simple. War is not as easy as you say." Xu Liu said: "Many times, the enemy will not show his body. He hides in the ditch and emerges. The ground in front is uneven.
, it’s not that easy to hit the opponent, killing ten people is already very powerful.”
Xia Yuan knew that what Xu Liu was talking about was an attack-type battle. Even if it was not an attack-type battle, it would not be easy to kill more than a dozen people.
When it comes to the Korean battlefield, it is relatively simple. The US military's attack does not have any rules, and even the tactics are not as good as those of the Japanese army. They just use heavy artillery to hit and cover the position until they feel that it is almost done, and then order the troops to attack the volunteer positions.
.
The tactics of the Volunteer Army are often to use small groups to respond to enemy attacks. The attacking enemies are basically above the company level, and those at the battalion level are very common. There are very few at the regiment level, and they are only used in the U.S. Tenth Army's encirclement and suppression of the 180th Division.
It appeared in , but Xia Yuan is not sure about other battles.
Old Man Wang has no concept of war. He thinks of war very ideally. Except that many people will die, he just shoots people with guns. He may not be able to hit them accurately every time.
Xu Liu continued: "When we get to the battlefield, there are bullets flying everywhere. Maybe as soon as you expose your head, a bullet will pierce your head. Many people go to the battlefield for the first time, and that's scary.
I had to pee my pants.”
Old Man Wang waved his hand: "Don't tell me this, squad leader, I think one thing you said is right. Our recruits don't need shooting training. If you can tell who is a sharpshooter, then when we go to the battlefield, we will all shrink our heads."
, who knows how many people he has killed? I can't go back and, in order to verify it, do I have to give him some bullets and let him shoot a few times to try."
"Old man Wang, why didn't I notice before that you were always picking at the edges of your words?"
Xu Liu chuckled and couldn't help but stare into Old Man Wang's eyes.
"Squad leader, I don't call this picking thorns, this calls telling the truth. Think about it, if there was a war, how would you know whether he killed these people or another soldier? If he was the only one left, he would
If he said he shot all these people, how can he say he didn't kill them."
Old Man Wang still had a lot of questions, but he still got to the point.
Xu Liu opened his mouth for a long time, and he was a little confused.
"Look, squad leader, you don't even know how to explain it yourself. If I go to the battlefield and kill one enemy, I will say that I killed two enemies. If I kill two enemies, I will say that I killed
If you kill four, there will be more enemies dead by then. Who knows which enemy was killed by you or me."
Old man Wang is so unreasonable.
But what he said still makes sense.
Xia Yuan lay on a pile of hay and listened to the chat between the two. He found it inexplicably interesting. He didn't know much about the internal situation of the national army. In ancient times, soldiers used the enemy's head and ears to kill the enemy.
If you want to gain merit, cut off the enemy's head or ears.
But in the modern battlefield, this method is not feasible.
Xia Yuan has experienced a lot of Korean battlefield wars, and he has a certain understanding of the number of enemy soldiers killed by the volunteer soldiers. The first one is through his own dictation, the dictation of his comrades, and the testimony of his comrades.
To kill an enemy on the battlefield, either you say you killed him or you killed him. Witnesses are required, and the corpse on the battlefield must also be examined. The method of evaluating merit is a recommendation system, and the soldier's
Credits are reported sequentially from the squad leader. After reporting to the headquarters, statistics are carried out step by step, including review, including confirmation by comrades, and inspection of the number of corpses on the battlefield.
However, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing and will be very chaotic. However, before the battle begins, the soldiers will stay in their shooting positions. If the enemies coming from his direction are killed, most of them will be killed by him.
Yes, and real-time battle reports for each position need to be reported to superiors, reporting your battle losses, your kills, and the number of enemies opposite you.
The headquarters needs to use these data to judge the next command method and combat plan.
If it is a false alarm, it will affect the direction of the battle, very likely to cause huge casualties and lead to the failure of the war.
Second, if there is no one to testify on the battlefield, but there are documents in each army that can write, they are responsible for recording the daily battle losses. After each small wave of battles, the battle situation will be recorded, including the killings of some people.
Quantity, in many cases on the battlefield, a certain unit is responsible for a separate position. How many enemies are lying on the position can be calculated, and there are observers on the position. They are all professionally trained, and they are responsible for statistics on the battlefield.
Number of people.
Of course, these people are not there to record their achievements, but to judge the trends on the battlefield and provide effective intelligence to the headquarters and commanders.
Artillery, blasters, snipers, etc. all have a set of strict review standards, and the number of reported enemy kills is reviewed over and over again to minimize errors.
During the entire period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the number of enemies killed by the Volunteer Army was still conservative, and was definitely only a lot more.
After thinking about it, Xu Liu spoke: "Xia Yuan, do you think what Mr. Wang said is right? I don't think it is right. How could you say that?"
Xu Liu's words interrupted Xia Yuan's thoughts and also made him dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Xu Liu couldn't defeat Old Man Wang and actually came to find him.
"Xia Yuan, tell me, if you kill the enemy, you kill it. If you don't kill it, you don't kill it. There is no enemy that you didn't kill. You have to say that you killed it." Xu Liu was obviously confused.
Old man Wang was very angry.
Old Man Wang is a bit confused and unreasonable, but what he said still makes sense. These days, the system of the national army is not so rigorous. If you really want to go to the battlefield and kill people, who will know who killed those people? You want to
Even if you insist that it was you who hit him, no one else has any evidence to prove that he was not hit by you.
"Squad leader, if he messes around, you should hang out with him. Just let him say it." Xia Yuan said nonchalantly.
If someone really chooses to lie about the number of enemies he has killed, this kind of thing cannot be proven. The public is right and the mother-in-law is right. It just depends on who is more asshole than the other.
Xu Liu's face turned a little red. He had just been arguing with Old Man Wang for a long time and found that he was being unreasonable. It was Old Man Wang who was unreasonable, but Old Man Wang was thick-skinned and insisted on it. Even if Xu Liu was reasonable, he would not be unreasonable.
It became unreasonable. He had no way to prove who killed the enemy who was killed, so if someone tried to retreat, there would be no way to prove that he was lying.
"Hey, big man, what you said is wrong. What are we doing here? Our squad leader also said that the battlefield is very chaotic. Those Japanese soldiers who were killed were killed by whom. You are right.
No." What Old Man Wang said is quite reasonable. If someone really said that he killed more than a dozen people, there is really no way to prove it.
Xia Yuan doesn't want to break up with Old Man Wang about this matter. It is a meaningless matter in itself. The national army does not pay attention to this aspect, so there is nothing you can do no matter how much you think about it.
"Squad leader, clean this place up. The Japanese bombed this place. I guess it's not far from the front line."
Xia Yuan still couldn't guess what the commander of the new military camp planned for them to do, but he had to be prepared to deal with various emergencies.
For example, what if this is the focus of the Japanese attack?
Who knows if they were betrayed by the official ranks of the national army.
Xu Liu felt that what Xia Yuan said made sense, so he stopped arguing with Old Man Wang about the matter. However, he still replied to Old Man Wang: "If you have a conscience, you will not lie. Only people without conscience will lie."
Xu Liu's words made Xia Yuan couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect Xu Liu to be so stubborn, just like a scholar.
Old Man Wang smoked a cigarette and said nonchalantly: "If you are going to die, what's the use of having a conscience? It's better to feed yourself than to feed others. How do you say that, man? What's the use of a conscience?"
, pig or something.”
The scholar was cleaning his gun, and when he heard what Old Man Wang said, he said: "If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
"That's right, that's right. People who don't care for themselves will be punished by heaven and earth. This sentence is really good." Old Man Wang clapped his hands and said, "People who have gone to school can speak."
Then I thought: "Big man, how do you know this sentence?"
The big guy's head is stupid, even if he was suddenly beaten, it has only been more than a month, and he actually knows this sentence.
Xia Yuan gathered the grass under him to make himself lie down more comfortably: "I suddenly became enlightened. Sometimes, my head is like the weather in the sky. It changes every day. You don't know what your head will be like tomorrow."
I’ll be thinking about something.”
For such a mysterious matter, Old Man Wang didn't speak anymore. He smoked quietly, his eyes kept moving, and he was looking at the surrounding environment. Recruitment camps were scattered throughout the town. This was a very suitable time to escape.
Boom!
Suddenly, bursts of dull, thunderous rumbles sounded from the distant horizon, followed by crackling gunshots from afar.
Everyone was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do.
"What's the sound? Is it thunder?"
"I don't know, is it gunfire?"
The sound was intermittent, and a few minutes after the dull, thunderous rumble, the messy gunshots rang out. Along with the bursts of roar, the clean morning suddenly became lively.
"This is sending us to the front lines."
Xia Yuan's eyes moved and he realized that they were sold out by the National Army.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and everyone lay on the broken wall and looked into the distance. A thick smoke of gunpowder floated from a very far away place, very far away from them, and the noisy gunfire came from that direction, far away.
You can see a thick layer of smoke floating in the sky, which is different from the black clouds in the sky.
"That's the battlefield over there. It's so close to us. They are going to send us to the battlefield." Old Man Wang's heart tightened and he thought to himself that if he didn't escape, he would have no chance.
He looked at several other people in the class. They looked at each other, as if they had made some kind of determination.
Company Commander Du suddenly arrived and gave an order to the second platoon: "The task of the second platoon is relatively difficult. The Japanese army is advancing very fast. Our brother troops are resisting the Japanese attack on the front line. You have to occupy a place called Swamp on the side and rear."
Bai's village and guard it."
Ma Bai is a very unfamiliar name to Xia Yuan. It seems that it has never appeared on the Songhu battlefield. Xia Yuan thought for a while and still couldn't find the memory of Ma Bai, so he asked: "Company Commander, we
Where is your current location?"
"We are located near the town of Luodian. The Japanese troops have completed the landing on the 23rd and are advancing towards the land of China. They are trying to destroy us. We, the good men of Yu, will never agree! Guarding Marsh Bai is your first lesson.
Can you complete the mission?"
"able!"
The soldiers answered.
"Very good, you guys pack up and get ready to go."
"yes!"
A platoon guarding Marsh Bai shows that the current battlefield situation has not yet reached a very intense level.
Luodian Town is located at the end of the Hutai Highway, on the side of Songhu. It is the transportation hub between Sujiang and Shanghai. Once the Japanese army captures Luodian, they can attack Dachang to the south and directly reach the urban area of Shanghai, cutting off the Shanghai army.
retreat route. To the west, we can attack Jiading and cut off the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway.
More importantly, as long as the Japanese army captured the Luodian front-line position, it would have completed the left-wing encirclement of the Chinese army. It was an important strategic location that China and Japan fought hard to compete for in the early stages of the Songhu Battle.
Zhubai is located about ten kilometers southwest of Luodian. It is a medium-sized village. Since it is on the side and rear of Luodian, it is more than enough to station a platoon. After all, the main position that China and Japan compete for is still in Luodian.
