Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, the old monkey has no time to think about his gambling debt at the moment. Anyway, over the years, he has drawn more and more portraits of heads in the small notebook hidden in his arms, and his techniques have become more and more skillful.
I just don’t know if the money I won and the money I owe can be accounted for.
Perhaps, I will never have to worry about my mother-in-law again, so as not to be troubled and sad.
After driving Cen Changqing to leave with the cat-peeing "cowards" from the fourth squad, Old Monkey led the last three remaining members of his infantry squad to wander around the battlefield, looking for a suitable hiding place and a location where they could observe the battlefield.
.
Although they have been heroic for a long time, no one wants to die after all, right? If you want to survive in death, you must find a strong enough hiding place. Of course, it cannot be the kind of person who hides himself well but is not at all.
If you can't see the position of the front position, it's equivalent to leaving the position empty. It's better for everyone to hide in the tunnel behind to play the ball. How about taking the risk of waiting to be shot and fucked on the position?
The four very strong machine gun fortifications are supposed to be the safest. They are covered with two layers of logs and a layer of soil that is more than one meter thick. Even the 105 howitzer can withstand a few rounds. The field of view is also good, and you can see the position.
Most of the locations on the map are suitable for one person in four directions, and there are also telephones that can directly report to the rear, if the phone lines are not blown down.
However, Old Monkey was the first to exclude these four positions. The reason was that these four machine guns had exposed their targets. The artillery observers on the Japanese front line were not just for free. They must have calculated the positions again and again. Absolutely.
It was a key target for Japanese heavy artillery bombardment.
Even the Japanese bombers will target these places. A 250-pound aerial bomb can completely blow them up, not to mention an even more exaggerated 500-pound aerial bomb. That will destroy nearby areas.
The trenches were reduced to rubble.
The inconspicuous frontline headquarters where Liu Tuanzuo and Deputy Battalion Commander Ye Fei stayed was considered a relatively safe place, but it was not completely safe, especially what if all four of them went in and were hit by Japanese heavy artillery, and were all beaten in one fell swoop.
?It is still a trivial matter that everything is over. What if the crazy Japanese troops come up and cannot send a signal to the back? To regain the position, it may require ten times four or even far more than this number of casualties.
In the best position, two sergeants and two superior soldiers were unwilling to go in. In the end, the old monkey used the authority of the squad leader to let the new recruit hide in the already empty frontline headquarters. The four-year soldier hid in a still empty frontline headquarters.
There were no dedicated observation posts that were destroyed that could withstand at least a 75-caliber artillery bombardment.
Seeing the two soldiers finding a place to hide, the two sergeants, Lin Hao and Lao Houhou, looked at each other and smiled.
"Haozi, hide yourself. Leave the cigarette with you first. If I'm not dead yet, remember to return it to me." The old monkey took out one of the half packs of cigarettes in his pocket and lit it with the wood still burning on one side.
Throw it to Lin Hao.
"Squad leader, do you want to bet ten dollars that we can finish this pack of cigarettes together?" Lin Hao took the cigarette and joked with the old monkey with a smile.
"In the words of you northerners, you're a fool. I haven't paid back the money I paid for the dick. If you have money, I'll bet you on this. Hurry up and hide. The kid's cannon is coming soon." The old monkey raised his eyes and looked up.
He looked at the Japanese infantrymen who had run 400 meters away and were being chased and beaten by mortars, and he smiled sadly and cursed.
Based on his understanding of Liu Lang after following Liu Lang for so long, he would rather give up shooting the defeated soldiers with machine guns and rifles than withdraw the heavy equipment and personnel from the position as soon as possible. It must be because the Japanese invaders shelled the position.
Probably nine out of ten.
But this time, I'm afraid it's not a 75-caliber mountain gun, but a 105-caliber howitzer or even a Japanese bomber.
Liu Lang's guess was not wrong, and neither was he.
On the Japanese position 2,000 meters away, seeing the defeated troops and the last three tanks of the tank group retreating hastily in the smoke, Lieutenant Colonel Hatori put down his telescope with a livid face and did not look back: "Teletype Artillery 26th Regiment"
Lieutenant Colonel Hosokawa, the howitzer battalion, targeted the main position of Jiuguan, and covered the firepower for 40 minutes. He also sent a telex to Colonel Liden, requesting the support of the Army Aviation Wing to destroy all the fortifications of the China Independent Regiment on the position. In the next battle,
Our 1st Infantry Group will do its best to conquer the position."
A chill ran down the spine of the young lieutenant staff officer. Although there was no high probability that this shelling would accidentally injure the defeated soldiers who had already retreated 400 meters from the battlefield, there were still many seriously injured soldiers who were left on the battlefield before they could be dragged away.
.
The howitzer bombardment was just like what he said, it was a covering bombing, so not only the bodies but also the bodies could not be found.
Even if this position could be captured, after the war, all the corpses would probably be burned together and then a handful of ashes would be used as remains and put into a special small wooden box and sent back home.
"Since it is for the prosperity of the empire, then let them fight to the end for the empire!" Lieutenant Colonel Hatori sighed coldly without turning around, as if he knew what his staff officer was thinking.
Liu Lang's guess was absolutely correct. The Japanese infantry brigade opposite him was far more brutal than what he had ever encountered before. As soon as his defeated troops retreated, he immediately requested artillery to bomb the position, without any regard for the corpses left on the position.
Japanese corpses and seriously injured soldiers who had not yet been evacuated.
Although cold-blooded, this move is extremely vicious and even effective. It can not only attack the Chinese soldiers and fortifications on the position, but also reduce a lot of burdens. There is no need to worry about those who no longer have any combat effectiveness but still waste medicine and personnel care.
of wounded soldiers.
Extremely cold-blooded, Liu Lang's wishful thinking came to nothing. Liu Lang ordered the mini-infantry mines to be scattered at the front of the position, which only hurt people but did not kill, in order to increase the number of Japanese casualties, thereby containing the Japanese army's strength and depleting the Japanese army's drug reserves, thus weakening the Japanese army.
Infantry strength.
But this one did not fall for this trick and directly used artillery to kill all his wounded soldiers.
At most, only 20% of the Japanese wounded were able to escape back to the Japanese main lines. The remaining 80% were lying on the battlefield in the Aihong Fields, watching helplessly as their own artillery shells fell from the sky and turned them into ashes.
.
Even though this person is now so ruthless that the staff officer is sweating coldly, in fact, he is taking huge risks. Putting aside the blame from his boss, as long as he can win this offensive and defensive battle, all ugliness can be covered up, even if it is
The cruelty of shelling one's own soldiers.
However, regardless of the strict discipline of the Japanese army, they will carry out even the cruel military orders of their superiors. However, there are many Japanese soldiers who are ruthless and ruthless. It is not uncommon for them to shoot behind the scenes when their superiors are not paying attention. The same goes for Hatori Nakasuko.
Taking the risk of being shot down by a group of one or two hundred defeated soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line, this cannot be prevented by saying that the lieutenant is not the lieutenant.
The infantrymen with red eyes, stimulated by the casualties of their fellow countrymen, took advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to shoot someone behind the scenes, and no one could find out. The key is, everyone is dead, who will investigate? Maybe a few other infantrymen
Is the captain still laughing so hard behind his back?
Knowing that there would be such disadvantages, Lieutenant Colonel Hatori still did it. The official position of captain and colonel was so coveted that he was desperate.
Even from now on, the eyes of his guard team will not only stay on the Chinese position, but also guard against the hateful eyes of the soldiers behind them.
When the first grenade exploded on the Jiuguan position, sending dust and gunpowder smoke into the sky, the old monkey lay alone in the trench and gently closed his eyes.
His face was unusually calm.
He didn't hide, nor did he want to hide.
Lao Zhou, the squad vice-president, was the first to leave, followed by Lao Tie, Xiao Shuanzi, Big Stone, Er Pole... Familiar figures passed through his mind like a revolving lantern.
Only at this moment did the old monkey, who had always been afraid of death and taught the soldiers how to save their lives every day, really understood that some people and things in the world were really more important than death. Those brothers who had eaten and slept together for four years were gone.
, and his heart was empty.
Revenge has been avenged. According to his battle record book, the whole class killed at least twenty Japanese, almost at a ratio of one to two, which basically meant he made a fortune.
Now, he just wants to accompany his brothers quietly and tell them, don't be afraid, the squad leader is here to accompany you. If he can't let you survive, then the squad leader will come to accompany you.
Kidnappers, I am here with you.
Unexpectedly, the expected death had not yet come, but there was a sudden pain in my body.
His arm was being dragged around desperately, and the shrapnel wound on his back was rubbing on the ground. It didn't hurt until he was haunted.
His eyes suddenly opened, and the old monkey roared: "Haozi, what the hell are you doing, come here and fuck me."
"Hey, squad leader, I suddenly remembered that you still owe me ten yuan and you can't just die like this." Lin Hao bared his teeth in a smile, and the teeth exposed on his black face were also yellow.
Lang Tuanzuo's military order ordering the entire army to brush their teeth twice a day was probably not implemented very thoroughly, especially in the third squad of the old monkey who was a big smoker and a gambler.
"When did I owe you money?" The old monkey was stunned for a moment.
"We were making a bet just now!" Lin Hao, who was dragging the old monkey, exerted his strength, and the two of them rolled violently into a shell-proof hole in the trench.
"Damn it, I didn't open the market..."
"boom......"
An artillery shell exploded fifteen meters away, and the violent air waves and large influx of dust pushed back the old monkey who was reluctant to hide in the artillery cave.
