Most of the brothers in the guerrilla camp were veterans who had fought bloody battles. Naturally, they knew that the strength of the trench was related to their lives. Therefore, without the supervision of the squad and platoon leaders, they picked up their shovels and dug extra hard.
"If you don't want to die, just watch what the veterans do and learn more."
Yang Ling became extremely strict. When he saw the student soldiers digging shallow foxholes and lying down in them to rest, he immediately kicked them up with a straight face and asked them to dig again, and asked them not to dig until he passed the inspection.
Allow them to rest.
Some student soldiers waited for Yang Ling to go away and slumped on the ground in dissatisfaction and complained: "It really hurts my back if I don't talk. If I let him dig it, my waist will almost break."
The student soldiers were on the battlefield for the first time. They had never suffered like this before. They were all miserable. However, student Wang Zikun understood that Yang Ling seemed to be pervertedly harsh to them, but it was for their own good.
"Stop talking nonsense. It's for our own good, Chief Yang. Get up and dig quickly. If you don't dig well, no one will be able to sleep tonight." Wang Zikun said, already picking up the shovel and digging hard again.
The positions of the guerrilla battalion gradually took shape due to the efforts of the brothers. The new soil dug out by each company position was covered again with weeds. They got into foxholes but could not see it from a distance.
Yang Ling took advantage of the break in digging trenches to hold a wartime meeting of the company and platoon commanders. Regarding the encounter just now, he verbally praised the brothers who had performed well and summarized his experience on the problems that had arisen during the encounter.
, I hope I won’t do it again in the future.
Yang Ling hopes that through such post-war summary meetings, these company and platoon leaders can learn something and make progress after each battle, so that they can win more battles.
"I admit that the brothers are very brave in fighting, but I would like to emphasize the importance of discipline here. You cannot win a war without organization and discipline. You should also tell the brothers what I said when you go back. If anyone rushes into the charge without orders next time,
, I, Yang Ling, will never be lenient! Do you hear me clearly?!"
"Yes!" Even the platoon leaders replied in unison.
Many brothers are accustomed to fighting, and when they are full of blood, they will launch a charge. In the battle just now, the Japs had not been defeated by them, and Yang Ling had not ordered the charge, but they had already rushed out, resulting in many people being shot and sacrificed.
It caused unnecessary casualties, which made Yang Ling very angry.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Yang Ling's tone softened: "Don't blame me for being harsh. Brothers put their heads in their waistbands and follow us to fight. That's because they trust us. We officers must also do it for our brothers."
We must take responsibility for our lives and we cannot let them sacrifice their lives in vain. Regarding the unauthorized charge just now, how many brothers did you think they sacrificed in vain?"
After Yang Ling's words fell, even the platoon leaders lowered their heads in shame. At that time, they were excited to fight. What happened to them? Looking back now, they really shouldn't have charged so rashly, causing many brothers to sacrifice in vain.
The sturdy blacksmith admitted his mistake to Yang Ling: "Batalion Commander, I was not strict this time, but I promise that I will not do it again next time. If I do it again, I will tear off my head and give it to you, Battalion Commander."
Chamber pot.”
Yang Ling smiled and scolded: "Go, go, who wants your head to be used as a chamber pot? I'm so scared."
The surrounding company and platoon commanders burst into laughter, and the atmosphere relaxed.
"Okay, let's get down to business. We are responsible for guarding Wangjiazhuang and ensuring the safety of the flanks of Gaoqiao Gate. Since our guerrilla battalion has taken over this task, we must cheer up and bring out the spirit of our guerrilla battalion and fight our guerrilla
The majesty of our battalion cannot allow our friendly brothers to underestimate us!"
"Battal Commander, don't worry. The brothers in our company have been clamoring to kill the little Japs for a long time. As long as the Japs dare to come, we will ensure that he never comes back and will never lose the prestige of our guerrilla battalion!" Wang Huzi was full of pride!
.
Not to be outdone, Liu Yidao stood up and said, "Wang Beard, do you think we can compete with each other to see who can kill more Japanese in a row?"
"Compared with each other, am I still afraid of you?"
When the blacksmith saw the two people facing each other, he raised his head arrogantly: "I said you two should go and stay somewhere cool. When it comes to fighting the Japanese, we are second. Who the hell dares to say that he is first?"
?”
"You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue..."
Seeing the high fighting spirit of the company and platoon leaders, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's all leave. Go back and have a good rest and sleep to refresh yourself. I'm afraid we will have to fight a tough battle tomorrow." Yang Ling waved his hand and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Even the platoon leaders returned to their respective positions, but Yang Ling had no time to rest. He personally inspected the position again to make sure there were no flaws.
To the west of their guerrilla camp position, the Japanese artillery was still firing cold cannons at the Chinese defenders. Those sharp flashes made the dark night sky as bright as day, and the white flowers between the sky and the earth were connected, making people unable to open their eyes.
.
The veterans in the position didn't care about the cold guns and artillery in the distance. They were sleeping soundly in the bunkers and foxholes. When Yang Ling passed by on patrol, he could even hear the snoring inside. Yang Ling sighed to himself.
, the calmness and calmness of veterans cannot be compared to those of new recruits.
Prince Kun, a student soldier, tossed and turned in the foxhole and couldn't sleep. The rumbling sound of artillery in the distance was like a curse, making him feel uneasy, so he simply got out of the foxhole and sat up.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Yang Ling asked when he saw Wang Zikun staring blankly at the night sky as he walked by.
Wang Zikun looked up and saw that the dark figure approaching was Yang Ling. He quickly stood up and saluted: "Sir, I can't sleep."
Yang Ling smiled to express understanding and waved to Wang Zikun to sit down, and he also sat down next to him.
Yang Ling asked with concern: "Are you scared?"
Wang Zikun took the lead in expressing his acquiescence. In the past, he was full of passion and wanted to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. However, when they actually went to the battlefield and saw the injured and wailing soldiers, they understood the cruelty of war and began to be afraid and frightened.
Yang Ling patted Wang Zikun on the shoulder and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Japs are also human beings. They have two shoulders holding one head. If you shoot him, he will still bleed. So don't be afraid. Watch what the veterans do during the war."
Yes, learning to do it can save your life."
Yang Ling said it easily, which made Wang Zikun's tense face relax a lot. A voice came from the foxhole next to him: "Sir, I heard that you killed hundreds of Japanese alone. Is it true?"
"Of course it's true." Yang Ling did not deny it: "The little devil is also raised by his parents, there is nothing special about it."
"Then can you teach us how to kill the Japanese?"
Yang Ling smiled and said: "They look fierce, but they are actually very scared in their hearts. If we want to defeat the Japanese, we must be more ferocious and cruel than the little devils, and beat them until they are afraid, so that they will not dare to bully us."
He paused and added: "The more afraid you are on the battlefield, the faster the coward will die, so when you go to the battlefield, take courage and don't be afraid."
