"Good speech!" After the meeting ended, Company Commander Luo walked to me: "I was worried about whether you could be a good company commander... After all, the organization is a bit different from war, so I feel relieved now!"
"What are you going to report to the camp department?" I asked.
"I'm going now!" Captain Luo looked around with some reluctance and said, "I'm leaving the battlefield now, I'm really reluctant to let it go!"
I shook Company Commander Luo's hand to express my understanding.
Just like I would feel a little sad when I left the second platoon, Company Commander Luo would of course feel this way, especially after Company Commander Luo went to the battalion headquarters, it can be said that he would have fewer opportunities to meet the soldiers.
"And..." Commander Luo said: "You...you think you have two and three fighters at first sight. I think you can promote it in the entire army. You won't mind!"
"Of course not!" I said.
"I want to remind you one thing!" Corps Luo nodded and said, "If you like this... don't forget the instructor!"
"Um!" After being mentioned by Company Commander Luo, I remembered the instructor who always hides behind... I thought that there were still many times to cooperate with him in the future, and I couldn't help but feel a headache.
To be honest, it would be fine if I was asked to be the company commander and lead troops to fight... If I were to deal with these people and things, it would only affect my mood in the war.
Captain Luo patted my shoulder as if he understood my mood and said with a smile: "I believe you can deal with it. If you have any difficulties, just tell me..."
"Yes!" I hurriedly stood up.
I am not such a stupid person, of course I know what the subtext of Company Commander Luo’s words is. It would be much better if he, the battalion commander, would be supported by him in the future.
"Company Commander!"
"Company Commander!"
...
I don’t know when the trenches were already full of soldiers from our original second company. They all came to say goodbye to Company Commander Luo!
They were still calling the company commander... This was not to say that the soldiers did not know that Company Commander Luo was already the battalion commander, but wanted to call him "company commander" in the end.
The big hands were clasped together tightly, and the hugs between comrades-in-arms made Commander Luo's eyes gradually blurred.
"Comrades!" Finally, Company Commander Luo waved his hand to the soldiers and said, "Follow your Company Commander Yang to fight the Japanese. One day, when we return to China, we will talk about our comrades!"
"Okay!" The soldiers hugged each other tightly again.
What people who are in the army often say is how they will be after returning to China, because this is what each of us hopes and yearns for.
Walking off the battlefield alive... is our goal. This seems ironic, but it is reality.
After seeing off Company Commander Luo, I began to think about the next battle.
The Vietnamese army didn't know whether they were preparing, summarizing combat experience or doing what they did. It has been a while since they came. This gave me the time to arrange further.
As I said before, the first thing to do is to integrate a new recruit platoon and a veteran platoon is to carry out this work in the row of scars in the 393 Highlands.
Of course, this matter is not a problem for Scar... In fact, Scar's troops have never changed several batches of recruits from beginning to end, so he has experience in this matter. So Zhang Zuoling and Scar both
With cooperation, the first row soon did not expand to more than 40 people, and organized a briefing to let the two troops know each other, and finally allocated a veteran to lead two new recruits... It was a bit like taking an apprentice, let's do it
There is no time for the group training in the branch, but it is still possible to do it in the way the master leads the apprentice like this.
Scar walked to me and patted my shoulder, saying, "Brother, you are the ones! You have become the company commander!"
I felt a little guilty in front of Scar because I knew that his military quality or experience was better than mine, and even his organizational and coordination skills were stronger than me. This company commander should be more suitable for him.
It should be said that... I would rather see Scar as the company commander. I would rather be a platoon leader and lead troops to fight, and there is no need to think about anything else.
But I knew it was impossible... Scar must have something that prevented him from being promoted, otherwise with his military qualities, he would have long been a platoon leader.
Scar seemed to see through what I was thinking, and smiled relaxedly: "Don't underestimate yourself too much, but think about it... After so many battles, which victory can be less than yours.
?Waring depends not only on military quality, but more on your head. You have a head...so the soldiers all obey you and are willing to fight with you, do you understand?"
Since Scar has said that, I can only bite the bullet and keep going like this.
The next thing... is to pull the integrated row to the 419 Highland to replace the defense. The two veteran platoons on the 419 Highland were brought back to integrate.
Because Zhang Zuoliang and all the recruits were very assigned to each other... They would not be able to cooperate without cooperation. As they said themselves, they were incompetent and unconsolidated, and the only thing waiting for them was death. So after the painful lessons before,
All the new recruits actively joined the veterans' troops and humbly asked their "masters" that is, the veterans assigned to them.
Then I assigned the combat mission: I gave up the mountain top position, and the first row built fortifications against the mountain top position on the back slope of the 419 Highland, the second row and the machine gun platoon were fire cover on the 393 Highland, and the third row was used as the reserve team.
The advantage of assigning combat tasks in advance is that... Veterans can tell the recruits what to do in advance, such as how to build fortifications against the top positions on the backscene surface, what kind of charges may occur, and what will happen.
The danger... and those who are in the cover mission will tell the recruits how to cooperate with the soldiers on the backscene surface, etc.
After fighting one and two battles, the recruits quickly knew what to do or how to cooperate with other troops when they were in different tasks.
Some people may say... Can the recruits and soldiers learn this in time if they have such a short time to study?
Such considerations do make sense. After all, no matter what you learn, there must be a process... However, the difference between learning and a peaceful world on this battlefield is... If you don't learn well, it means death, so this pressure is undoubtedly unprecedented
Under this pressure, the recruits and soldiers will undoubtedly invest 100% of their energy and attention to ask the veterans for advice, learning and digestion.
Just like now, once the integration and distribution were completed, the new soldiers seized the time to ask the veterans this and that, and the veterans were dragged so hard that they could not separate themselves...
Of course, this is understandable. This is a major matter of life and death. Who dares to be careless?
And this... is exactly what I hope. I believe that if this continues... as long as they are still alive after fighting a few battles, they will have a certain ability to survive on this battlefield.
"Report to the company commander!" Just as the soldiers were busy teaching, the observation post on the 419 Highland reported to me through the walkie-talkie: "The Vietnamese Japanese sent tanks up!"
I listened carefully and there were actually a few "rumble" motor sounds on the other side of the mountain.
So I understood what the Japanese invaders were waiting for. They were waiting for the firepower cover of the tank... By the way, although this tank could not exert its mobility in high ground warfare, it was still quite powerful as firepower cover.
First, its own tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are powerful, especially many of the Vietnamese tanks are equipped with rifled guns, which are better than mortars in terms of power and accuracy.
On the other hand, the armor of the tanks can provide necessary cover for the cover and charge troops. As long as these tanks are on the backscene surface and are outside the range of our army's bazooka... Then we can't do anything about them.
The range is only 300 meters of a pit, and the wind rate is quite large... So Vietnamese tanks can generally approach the foot of our army's mountain.
There is no doubt that as the Vietnamese army covers the troops, the charge distance of the charge troops has been greatly shortened.
But in fact... the Vietnamese army had no need to do this. The reason was very simple. When I realized that our artillery fire was not as good as the Vietnamese army, I had basically given up the position on the top of the mountain.
Maybe some people will say... Last time we used directional thunder to attack the enemy from the top of the mountain, right?
But this method can be used once or twice, but not the third time... Do the Japanese invaders know that we have directed thunder on the top of the mountain and will still foolishly send large troops to let us fight? They just need to first
Just send a dozen people up to "step on the mine".
The so-called "mine-step" is a saying that we say reconnaissance and mine clearance. This kind of reconnaissance and mine clearance are a bit different from ordinary mine clearance. It should be said that most ordinary mine clearances have time. Although the danger is high, you can still rely on your ability.
Save your life. But what about "step on the thunder"?
For example, directional thunder... Because the detonation time of this kind of thunder is completely in the hands of the enemy, it is strictly impossible to rank at all. The other party just sees someone coming up to detonate. But the problem is... If we only send a few
How many people go up? If they detonate, they can only kill a few people. If they don’t detonate... they can only watch the directional thunder be destroyed.
Because this kind of reconnaissance and mine clearance can basically be said to be to die, the soldiers vividly call it "stepping on mines". The meaning is to use human lives to exchange for enemy landmines.
Therefore, directional thunder is not omnipotent. I believe that when the Japanese attack again, they will use artillery fire to carry out a intensive bombing on the top of the mountain position, and then send people to "step on the mine". Because we have no advantage in artillery fire, so
I can only watch them do this...
Now, after knowing that the Vietnamese army had transferred the tanks, I became more convinced that I was right to give up the position on the top of the mountain. (To be continued.)
