"Stop the pursuit, stop the pursuit." Seeing the remaining Japanese troops withdrawing, Zhou Weiguo noticed that there were soldiers who were about to pursue him and shouted to stop them.
Seeing that the troops had stopped, Zhou Weiguo found Hu Yong not far away; "Give me the order and the troops will evacuate down the hillside immediately."
Evacuate to the bottom of the hillside? Hu Yongyang, who picked up his rifle, panted and pointed at the small slope that was not considered a position. He tilted his neck and narrowed his eyes in confusion: "Battalion Commander, aren't we supposed to hold this position?"
Just wait and see, if the Japanese army withdraws, there will be raindrops of artillery shells coming here soon. Here, you have to use your flesh and blood to compete with the Japanese army's artillery shells, unless you are crazy.
"Evacuate first, wait for their artillery fire to end, and then seize it." Zhou Weiguo said without any hesitation and pointed to the Japanese troops in the distance; "They are further away than us, we have time to come up."
As soon as Hu Yong heard this, he shouted loudly. His voice was so loud that he could be heard even from a distance: "Don't clean the battlefield, lead the wounded soldiers and evacuate to the foot of the mountain immediately."
Boom boom boom boom...
Less than ten minutes after the troops evacuated, the Japanese artillery fire hit the hillside desperately. The entire position was filled with dust, and a lot of soil was blown up to an altitude of more than ten meters, and then fell to the bottom of the uphill slope.
The slightly trembling ground made Zhou Weiguo pick up his rifle and squat on the ground, staring blankly at the sky obscured by gunpowder smoke.
"Battal Commander, the bombardment is over." Hu Yong's shout rang from the side. The suddenly silent position made Zhou Weiguo sigh and wave his hand towards the hillside that was covered with a layer of earthy gray sand. "Go up and seize the position.
The machine gunner enters the crater and the infantry seeks cover. Wait for them to come up and remember not to show your head."
The secret service battalion had just fought so hard that more than 80 people had been killed, and nearly two platoons of troops had been lost. Zhou Weiguo did not dare to drag the entire battalion up, but called the second company and the third company where the new recruits were located to the position.
.
Seeing Hu Yong pulling people up, Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and turned to Zhou Jin, who was in the reserve team: "Select a few people from behind and form a supervising team behind the position. Once anyone is found to be evacuating, shoot them."
Zhou Jin blinked his eyes and showed a hint of panic. Zhou Weiguo understood what he meant and couldn't bear to kill his own people.
But he has to be prepared for the unexpected. The Japanese army is about to counterattack. The new recruit may not be able to withstand the densely packed and accurate close-range attack of the Japanese army. He may collapse, and then turn around and run away. Once he runs away, the entire position may collapse.
.
Without any cruel means, more soldiers will be killed or injured by then.
"If you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm. They are all my soldiers, and I can't bear it. But once someone runs back, it will affect the morale of our army. You should know this. What will happen if there are deserters." See Zhou Jin
With a troubled expression on his face, Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to speak out to advise and remind.
Zhou Jin showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but in the end he nodded: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I'll take care of it right away."
Seeing Zhou Jin's agreement, Zhou Weiguo went up to the position. A Japanese squadron, led by a captain, was advancing this way. It was still more than 150 meters away from the position.
He turned around and looked at the situation around him. The soldiers of the Third Company were obviously a little nervous. Most of their faces had a frown.
"Don't be afraid. Just follow the instructions taught by the veterans. I can tell you, if anyone runs behind you without an order, a barrage of bullets will not recognize who you are. Not only will they not recognize you, they will die in your home."
You won't get any pension because you are deserters."
Bang bang bang...
The Japanese gunfire sounded at Zhou Weiguo's reminder.
Intensive gunfire rang out, and soon there were casualties on the position.
"Why don't you pull your heads down, don't you think your heads are made of steel bars and can't be punched through?" Seeing several recruits raising their heads and being beaten to death, Zhou Weiguo reminded him loudly. Seeing a recruit next to him rise up, he raised his hand and slapped him.
The blow continued: "Why are you sticking your head up so high? It looks good. You don't care about your butt."
"Batalion Commander, it's fifty meters away." Hu Yong's shout made Zhou Weiguo stop scolding, and instead stretched out his rifle and shouted loudly; "Change it, use only firearms, not grenades, we can't let the Japanese army figure out our attack
Law."
"Call me."
Chug tug tug...
Cross-deployed Czech light machine guns sprayed bullets on the charging Japanese troops like a torrential rain, and rifles also attacked sporadic enemies.
As quickly as it came, it will retreat as quickly as it came.
As soon as the Japanese troops fled, Zhou Weiguo ordered the soldiers to evacuate.
He had no choice, time was tight, and he couldn't dig trenches. He could only hide and seek with the Japanese army.
As soon as they got off the position, before the Japanese army started shelling, Zhou Weiguo saw a group of troops approaching from a distance.
Look at the military flag at the front, Zhou Weiguo is a regiment of the 171st Brigade.
"Battle Commander Zhou, our regiment has been ordered to take over your position. The division headquarters has ordered you to go down and rest immediately."
I took another break and started to take a rest after just two games. If this continues, what else will I do?
The regiment leader saw Zhou Weiguo's dissatisfaction, and he stretched out his hand to pat Zhou Weiguo: "You steel swordsmen, the division commander will naturally not let you do this kind of thing. Leave the position to us, go down and rest, maybe wait a few days,
You have to be the attackers again."
But an order is an order, and Zhou Weiguo can't accept it even if he doesn't accept it, and what the regiment leader said makes sense. Zhou Weiguo can only order the troops to evacuate, and let Zhou Jin count the casualties.
More than a hundred people died, and a company was scrapped like this. Zhou Weiguo felt a little distressed in his heart. They were all living lives. Now, in just two or three hours, there are only such a few people left.
.
Not even two days after returning to the camp, the Luodian counterattack ended. Even the most elite troops failed to break through the Japanese defense line. Once again, a tug-of-war was formed with the Japanese army.
We went back and forth with the Japanese army on this front line for more than a month.
Today, he had just come down from the position. Before Zhou Jin could count the casualties, the sound of horse hooves made the somewhat tired Zhou Weiguo look outside with bloodshot eyes.
The messenger from the division headquarters had already arrived, and they were already very familiar with each other. Zhou Weiguo also waved his hand to exempt the messenger from saluting, threw him a cigarette and asked, "What's the order from the division headquarters?"
The messenger quickly lit up his cigarette and took a puff; "Last night, the Sichuan army successfully counterattacked Dunwu Temple. Early in the morning, one brigade of the Japanese army was launching a counterattack, and another brigade was outflanking the enemy from the side position. The division commander ordered you to occupy it.
Bathhouse, intercept the detour of the Japanese brigade, and ensure the safety of the side of Suwu Temple."
