Wang Xuexin had no objection to this transfer, because his platoon was the main platoon. Twelve people, including him, captured the 38 Gai. Five of them were designated as sharpshooters shooting original bullets because of their combat experience and marksmanship...
At this time, the number of sharpshooters has expanded to more than one hundred, and to be honest, some of them can no longer be called sharpshooters.
In addition, Wang Xuexin is a platoon leader who shoots original bullets. It is impossible to transfer Wang Xuexin to another platoon and be demoted!
As a result, Wang Xuexin immediately discovered that one of the platoon leaders had been demoted, but was only incorporated into the platoon.
The person who was demoted was Zhang Qingcai, the platoon leader of the third platoon, who was transferred to the first platoon and was left vacant by Zhou Ping as the third squad leader.
Seeing Zhang Qingcai's unhappy face, Wang Xuexin told him directly: "Comrade Zhang Qingcai, if you are not willing to be the squad leader, I can immediately go to the company commander to apply for you to go back. I guarantee that you will still be the platoon leader, and you can still be the squad leader."
Keep the gun!”
Zhang Qingcai hurriedly replied: "Farewell, platoon leader. I didn't think about the platoon leader, and I didn't have a gun or bullets. I have been leading those dozen comrades for some years, and I can't bear to part with them!"
After a pause, he added: "Since it was arranged by the superiors, and you are good at fighting, although I am demoted from platoon leader to squad leader, everyone knows that it is a real promotion. Who doesn't want to join the platoon and follow
The platoon leader beats the Japanese? I have nothing to be unhappy about!"
Wang Xuexin felt relieved after hearing what Zhang Qingcai said.
In fact, Wang Xuexin doesn't really care about being a sharpshooter. The important thing is not to have emotions. If you have emotions on the battlefield and cannot coordinate closely, problems are likely to occur.
For example, Wang Xuexin's battle to grab the ammunition truck actually required Hu Zi's cooperation, otherwise he would not have been able to grab the ammunition truck so smoothly.
Later, Wang Xuexin found out that Zhang Qingcai was unhappy for another reason.
When Zhang Qingchang was appointed commander of the third platoon, he targeted Wang Xuexin's first platoon. He vowed to lead the third platoon to catch up with the first platoon, but with such a transfer... all plans were ruined.
The disappointment in his heart, and the fact that he had not been able to fulfill the many promises he had made to his subordinates before, made him a little unable to face his old subordinates, so he just stayed there without looking up.
After knowing this, Wang Xuexin was completely relieved about Zhang Qingcai, because he knew that this was an ambitious and responsible squad leader, otherwise he would not care so much about his promises.
After such small adjustments, it originally took some time to rest and let the comrades get familiar with each other.
But the Japanese army did not give the soldiers this time.
At this time, the soldiers were introducing themselves... This is a way for the soldiers to get familiar with each other, but because they are in contact with each other on a daily basis, it is a different style of painting:
"My name is Zhang Qingcai, former platoon leader of the third platoon..."
"I know, my nickname is 'What's the matter', and when others say anything, they always respond with 'What's the point?'"
"I heard that they also responded to our platoon leader's matter in the same way. Don't you think it's nothing now?"
Zhang Qingcai replied awkwardly: "Go, go, aren't I the platoon leader? I have to talk about the good of one platoon all the time, how can we, the third platoon, get along?"
The soldiers laughed when they heard the "coax" sound.
Just then, there was a faint "rumbling" sound in the sky, and the soldiers all raised their heads in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound.
Wang Xuexin quickly realized what it was and shouted quickly: "It's a plane, a Japanese plane! Enter the tunnel, everyone enter the tunnel..."
As soon as the soldiers got into the tunnel, there was a piercing scream outside... This is what the Japanese learned from the Germans. They always install a whistle on the bomb, which will make a scream like a ghost crying and a wolf howling when the bomb falls.
This will cause a psychological blow to the enemy.
Then, there was only a chaotic sound of "boom", and the bomb caused waves of vibrations, like a volcanic eruption or an earthquake, causing the soil on both sides of the tunnel to "swish" and fall down.
The soldiers all raised their heads and stared nervously at the soil above their heads, fearing that it would collapse at any time and bury everyone in the soil.
Wang Xuexin was also afraid, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth and persisted, suppressing his inner desire to run out of the tunnel, because he knew that he could never go out at this time, and it was better to be buried in the soil than to be blown to pieces.
At this time, Wang Xuexin noticed that the soldiers beside him moved a few steps toward the entrance of the tunnel.
Wang Xuexin immediately realized what the soldier was going to do and stretched out his hand to try to grab him.
The soldier temporarily calmed down, but the two roars and huge tremors that followed frightened him. He struggled to break free from Wang Xuexin's hand and rushed out. Perhaps because of the power brought by fear, two soldiers in succession wanted to
He failed to stop him.
Several soldiers wanted to rush out of the tunnel and pull him back, but Wang Xuexin blocked their movement at the entrance of the tunnel in time.
After a while, the explosion finally stopped.
Wang Xuexin took the soldiers out and took a look. The whole world had changed. The place where the hill was supposed to be had been blown into a big crater. A hill had appeared where the mountain col was. The trenches were basically gone.
It was buried in the broken soil and formed a small ditch.
Wang Xuexin searched the surrounding area, trying to find the running soldier, but the surrounding area was completely bare and no one could be seen.
Huzi asked each unit to roll their names, and then reported: "Platoon leader, run out and call Wang Zhiyuan, he is the sharpshooter who just arrived."
Wang Xuexin sighed secretly. This sharpshooter "disappeared" before he was transferred to the first row and had no time to play its role.
Company commander Wu Lei emerged from the soil on the other side and shouted: "Enter the position and prepare to fight!"
Wang Xuexin waved his hand and led the soldiers to run to the top of the mountain. When they reached the ridge and looked down, they were shocked by the scene below... On the open ground in front of the high ground, the Japanese were lined up in a dark formation of skirmishers.
At least there were thousands of people surrounding Zhaojiayu.
They wore helmets and carried rifles, with plaster flags hanging on their bright bayonets. Three tanks came "clacking" on the road. After approaching the high ground, they stopped and turned the turret, and then "bombed" several times.
As soon as the sound was heard, several rounds were fired towards the position on the top of the mountain.
"It's the regular army of the Japanese!" Wu Lei cursed: "Damn it, the Japanese have spent a lot of money this time!"
The term "regular troops" is not accurate. The Japanese did not use this term, but Wang Xuexin still understood what it meant.
Usually, because the Eighth Route Army adopted guerrilla tactics against the Japanese, using hit-and-run tactics and hiding in the mountains, aircraft and tanks were rarely used...these heavy equipment had no effect on guerrilla warfare. If the aircraft wanted to blow up, they wouldn't know where to hit it. Tanks
Can't enter the mountainous area.
These mixed brigades without heavy equipment are called irregular troops by the Eighth Route Army. In contrast, those divisions fighting on the front line are called regular troops.
At this moment, Wang Xuexin's anti-slope tactics faced the threat of the Japanese regular troops.
