The sky was getting dark, and the sound of gunfire that had been ringing all day on Spider Ridge also stopped. After a day of fighting, Wu Chengfeng, who was originally full of confidence and wanted to capture Spider Ridge, stood there with some frustration. Behind the intact trench, looking at the vague figures on the top of the mountain, I felt depressed. ◎Literature Museum r />
After a day of fighting, the three infantry regiments of the 398th Division launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense at Spider Ridge under the cover of the division's artillery regiment and aerial aircraft. However, they continued to attack for four or five hours and still could not completely capture it. In the last few positions of Spider Ridge, the Japanese were clinging on there like crazy. The 398th Division still failed to complete its mission after paying more than a thousand casualties, which made Wu Chengfeng feel very frustrated.
Just yesterday, he issued a military order to Army Commander Lin Shiqian, vowing to capture Spider Ridge within eight hours, but he still failed to achieve his goal, which made Wu Chengfeng very frustrated.
"Master's seat, the military seat is here." At this time, a staff officer walked up to Wu Chengfeng and said softly.
"What, the military seat is here." Wu Chengfeng was suddenly startled. He quickly looked back and saw several shadows walking towards him on a path not far away.
Wu Chengfeng hurried up to greet him, and when he went up, he saw Lin Shiqian walking over accompanied by Liu Guodong and several other staff officers.
"Military seat, why are you here? It's too dangerous here. If something happens to you, it will be a big deal." Wu Chengfeng said worriedly and was about to step forward to welcome Lin Shiqian into an anti-gun In the cave.
Lin Shiqian knocked Wu Chengfeng's hand off with a "snap" and said dissatisfied: "What's wrong with you kid? Am I so rich and valuable? A few years ago, I was just a small platoon leader. During the Battle of Nanjing, I Instead of following Chief Su and leading hundreds of brothers to fight the Japanese in the city of Nanjing, even Chief Su was carrying a submachine gun and leading the brothers to fight with the Japanese with bayonets. What? Now that I have become a high-ranking official, I am afraid died?"
Wu Chengfeng smiled bitterly. People like Lin Shiqian often talked about the events of the Battle of Nanjing, and those of them who joined later could only listen. Who knew that those people were the first ones to follow the commander. For example, Lin The three army commanders Shi Qian, Li Yifeng, and Bai Jingran were all old men who had followed him since the Battle of Nanjing. As for those who followed Su Rui and rushed out of Nanjing, as long as they survived, they are basically all in the Seventh Army now. They got a good position, or even became a company platoon leader at worst. After all, these people were also the most loyal to Suri, so it was natural for Suri to promote them.
After finishing speaking, Lin Shiqian looked at Wu Chengfeng with his bright eyes and said loudly: "Mr. Wu, you promised me yesterday that you would capture Spider Ridge within eight hours. Have you completed your task now? "
Listening to Lin Shiqian's questions, Wu Chengfeng felt his face was burning. He lowered his head and said loudly: "Military, I'm sorry, I failed to complete the task you assigned me. Please punish me!"
Looking at Wu Chengfeng who lowered his head and said nothing, Lin Shiqian said nothing. At this time, Lin Shiqian was no longer the Wu Xia Amon a few years ago. Naturally, Su Rui would not allow him to command an army just because of nepotism. After all, he was so serious. Suri will not decide things based on his own preferences alone. Otherwise, if an army of tens of thousands is accidentally destroyed, the whole army will be annihilated, which is no joke.
In the past few years following Su Rui, as Su Rui's military rank and official position continued to rise, Lin Shiqian, as Su Rui's confidant, also knew that if he did not work hard to keep up with his superiors, there would be only one outcome, and that would be to be eliminated.
He was out of Suri's inner circle, so he would study there whenever he had time in the past few years. In three years, he, a stupid soldier who didn't know a lot of Chinese characters, not only knew thousands of commonly used
He also borrowed many books on military affairs through connections and studied hard. Even Su Rui was surprised by his rapid progress.
Now seeing Wu Chengfeng lowering his head and admitting his mistake, Lin Shiqian would not be stupid enough to immediately hold him accountable when the enemy was facing him. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu, now is not the time to hold him accountable. Today's battle
I also saw it at the foot of the mountain. The 398th Division fought bravely. After a day of fighting, you also captured most of the Spider Ridge area. The remaining positions only need to wait until tomorrow to launch a few fierce attacks on the defending enemy. I
I believe we can win it. The most important thing you should do now is to sum up your experience. I will give you another morning tomorrow. If you cannot win all Spider Ridge before twelve o'clock, I will just let Liu Guodong's new second division
Got it, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Seeing that Lin Shiqian actually gave him a chance to redeem his honor, Wu Chengfeng felt a surge of gratitude in his heart. If Lin Shiqian just let himself and the 398th Division go down, let Xin Er
If the master comes up, then he and the 398th Division will be embarrassed at grandma's house.
Just when Wu Chengfeng was filled with gratitude, Lin Shiqian walked towards a hidden observation post. Several guards nearby quickly followed, while Wu Chengfeng and Liu Guodong walked side by side behind.
Liu Guodong touched Wu Chengfeng's arm with his elbow and said softly: "Chengfeng, do you know why the military commander gave you another chance?"
Wu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How could I know? Old sir, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."
Liu Guodong looked at Lin Shiqian who was walking in front, and said softly: "Today, Jun Zuo and I were watching at the foot of the mountain. Your division fought really well and was very brave. There were several times when you had the chance to break through the Japanese positions.
, but you didn’t order an all-out attack, can you tell me why?”
Wu Chengfeng said without hesitation: "The commander has long said that a victory built with the bodies of brothers is not worth showing off. As long as one less soldier can be killed, we would rather spend an extra hundred rounds of artillery shells. If I order today
Although it is possible to capture Spider Ridge completely if we launch a strong attack, the casualties will be too high. Do you think my face is more important or the lives of my brothers?"
Liu Guodong looked at Wu Chengfeng and nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes: "Yes, I felt that you were a good prospect when you served as a soldier under me. You must remember that only those who take the lives of their brothers at heart
Only a superior can win the support of his brothers. Otherwise, no matter how high your official position is, you will not get the support of the people below you. Do you understand?"
Wu Chengfeng asked in surprise: "Are you saying that this is the reason why the military commander gave me another chance just now?"
Liu Guodong rolled his eyes: "Of course, otherwise do you think Jun Zuo is a bad person?"
After saying that, Liu Guodong quickened his pace and chased Lin Shiqian in front...
