Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth round battle (1)
Liu Yidao was a veteran who had followed Yang Ling through countless bloody battles since the Battle of Songhu. He was seriously injured when he attacked Luowang Station in the Battle of Lanfeng.
In the field hospital, the military doctor shook his head when he saw Liu Yidao, who was covered in blood and flesh, with his intestines leaking out, and had given up hope of saving him.
However, it is the duty of every doctor to save lives and heal the wounded. Although there was little hope of resuscitating Liu Yidao, the military doctors still acted as doctors and tried their best. After all, they were all officers and soldiers who killed the enemy and deserved respect.
It was in this situation that Liu Yidao managed to survive and did not die. On the way to Wuhan hospital to recuperate, his wound became infected and he died again.
However, as the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later. After several months of recovery in the hospital, Liu Yidao was back alive and kicking apart from leaving numerous scars all over his body.
During the period of recuperation, various civilian condolences groups were sent one after another. Liu Yidao ate well and slept well. Not only did he come back intact, his originally lean body also became wider and fatter.
Because of his meritorious service in the Battle of Lanfeng, he was directly promoted from captain company commander to major battalion commander after returning this time, while the deputy battalion commander was promoted to major deputy battalion commander Qin Shou.
Liu Yidao was a sharp knife in Yang Ling's hand. When the battalion was full of new recruits and there was a serious shortage of grassroots officers, Yang Ling was naturally happy to return.
However, after recovering from his injuries for several months, Yang Ling and his regiment were resting and fighting the Japanese. Many familiar faces in the regiment were missing, and the deputy battalion leader Smoking Gun also died, which made Liu Yidao sad for a while.
However, the war is continuing. As soldiers, although they feel sad, they cannot love each other as children and need to cheer up and continue to fight against the little devils.
"Liu Battalion Commander, the regimental commander asked you to come over for a meeting." A messenger ducked out of the floating smoke and conveyed the order to Liu Yidao.
Liu Yidao told Deputy Battalion Commander Qin Shou, got up and walked quickly towards the regimental headquarters with a guard.
Seeing Liu Yidao and the others disappearing into the smoke screen, recruit Luo Wencai asked nervously in a low voice: "Battle deputy, are we going up?"
Deputy Battalion Commander Qin Shou rarely smiled, nodded and said: "80% of the time we are going up."
They are all people who have experienced the baptism of war countless times. Every time they fought desperately with the Japs on the battlefield, they finally walked off the battlefield with scars all over their bodies, supporting each other.
But before long, they will step into a new battlefield together with countless brothers, and blood will flow into the river again. This is like an endless cycle of nightmares, torturing every veteran.
They have survived countless bloody battles. Their only way to escape is to die in battle or become deserters. But they are still alive. For the countless brothers who have sacrificed their lives, they cannot be deserters. Every new battle is a new battle for them.
A new torture.
"Cheer up, check your weapons and ammunition, and be ready for battle!" Qin Shou's voice rang out amid the rumbling sound of cannons.
The brothers who were huddled in the crater all started to move, checking weapons and ammunition, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Liu Yidao walked to the heavily guarded regiment headquarters on the path that was broken by shells and countless pairs of feet from the troops who had passed by before. The other two battalion commanders in the regiment, Lu Xing and Chen Ming, had already arrived first.
Seeing that Liu Yidao had also arrived, Yang Ling didn't waste any time and spread out the nearby simple area brought by the deputy commander of the 66th Army.
"The position we defend belongs to the flank of the entire defense line. There are five position support points. There are only two Japanese squadrons opposite us. We have one regiment. Generally speaking, the defensive pressure is not great."
However, Yang Ling quickly changed the topic and said seriously: "The brigade just ordered us to take over the defense, and did not say how long we would hold on. Besides, the Japanese troops on the opposite side may increase their troops at any time. I hope you will prepare for a protracted and vicious war."
Mentally prepare.”
"Yes!" The three battalion commanders all agreed in unison. They were all officers who grew up in the flames of war, so they could naturally understand the meaning of what Yang Ling said.
"Since we only have two squadrons of Japs in front of us, and most of our troops are new recruits, my idea is to take this opportunity for you three battalions to take turns to fight the Japs so that the new recruits can grow up as quickly as possible."
As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, Zhang Qingyun, the regiment chief of staff newly transferred from the brigade headquarters, frowned: "Regiment leader, if this is the case, it will completely change our previously formulated combat plan."
"Commander Zhang, we didn't know the enemy's situation before, and we considered the worst when we made the plan. Now the Japanese only have two squadrons, which are not strong enough. We just use them to let the new recruits take turns to practice. I think there is no problem.
"
Zhang Qingyun took the initiative to transfer Yang Ling and his regiment to serve as chief of staff. Although it is dangerous to serve as chief of staff of the front-line troops, it is said that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't catch the tiger's cubs. It is the most dangerous place where it is easiest to gain merit.
He came here full of ambitions, and as soon as he arrived at the regiment, he couldn't wait to gather a group of staff officers to formulate such a battle plan without taking any rest.
Although Zhang Qingyun was somewhat utilitarian, in general the combat plan he formulated was quite satisfactory, which relieved a lot of Yang Ling's burden. If nothing unexpected happened, their battle in Mahuiling would be carried out according to this plan.
Zhang Qingyun was very happy to get Yang Ling's approval at first, but now that he had just arrived on the battlefield, Yang Ling rejected the plan they had worked so hard to come up with.
This made Zhang Qingyun feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. His face suddenly turned ugly, and his good impression of Yang Ling disappeared.
This is a battlefield. As the commander of the regiment, Yang Ling is naturally responsible for the lives of more than 2,000 brothers under his command, especially those new recruits who cannot fight.
Now that there was such an excellent opportunity for military training, how could Yang Ling let it go, so he naturally overturned the previously formulated combat plan.
"Yidao, your battalion will go up first, and the second battalion will go up and replace you in an hour." Yang Ling warned: "Your task is not to kill how many Japanese soldiers, but to help the new recruits adapt to the battlefield as quickly as possible and teach them how to fight."
"Yes, captain, don't worry, I guarantee that the troops can quickly improve their combat effectiveness." Liu Yidao saw that Yang Ling had given him the first battle, and he immediately agreed excitedly.
"The second and third battalions set up deep positions in series behind the forward positions."
"yes!"
"The special agent company directly under the regiment is deployed on the flanks to hide. Once the front line position cannot hold it, you need to stabilize the position for me."
Yang Ling finally handed over the most important task to the special agent company directly under the regiment, because the nearly two hundred brothers in the special agent company were all veterans who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives.
They are also the only company in the regiment that is composed entirely of veterans, with no new recruits. They also have two shell guns and are equipped with the most powerful firepower, which is Yang Ling's trump card.
