Chapter 1480 The hard battle has just begun (6)
Although he repelled the attack of the Blackhawk Empire, this time, there was no cheer for victory.
In the entire trench, in addition to a thin blue smoke that was melted into the night, there was more silence and a sob that was not easily noticed. It was the sound of the soldiers who were shot and could not bear the pain. Because there were serious shortage of medical staff, they had to continue waiting for the medical staff who had dealt with the seriously injured.
Before this, they had to continue to endure the bone-broken pain.
Those who suffer gunshot wounds from arms and legs are considered minor injuries. According to the military order issued by the regiment headquarters before the battle, the minor injuries are not qualified to leave the battlefield. Those who can leave the battlefield are the bodies except for the serious injuries with only one breath.
The wounded soldiers could not hold back the pain and cried. Many surviving new soldiers could not bear the bloody battlefield. On the battlefield, in addition to the terrible artillery fire that can make people mentally collapse, another thing that constantly destroys people's nerves may be the scene of familiar comrades lying in pools of blood.
The most terrifying thing is the infantry platoon that was bombarded by howitzers. Not to mention the new recruits, even the veteran who entered the damaged trenches after the battle was over and vomited out immediately.
The air waves were swept up and scattered around. Although the limbs and body were twisted strangely, there was still a complete corpse, which was nothing to the veterans. They had seen many bloody and bloody trenches. However, the trench more than 30 meters long at the center of the explosion was like hell on earth. The fragments of the corpse were scattered everywhere, and there were at least ten people in the human body's internal organs, and they were torn to pieces by the huge explosion.
Even veterans who have experienced countless civil wars in Qiu Tongzhou were frightened by such a tragic scene. You know, the long civil war in Qiu Tongzhou was only 75mm caliber mountain cannons used. There may be scenes of blowing up a few people, but there are definitely not many. Most of the battles are like you are strong and I surrender and then continue to serve in the army. It is just a change of a boss. Now, a shell can tear up or so many living people to pieces?
Of course, only veterans can see such a scene. The battalion headquarters has long issued an order. Those who enter this trench to clean up the mess can only be veterans who have been in the army for more than four years. This is also to avoid not killing people in the war, but scaring the new recruits to death.
But even the veteran had to vomit while putting the remaining limbs that could not be distinguished in any shape into the backpack and covered them with linen, and then transported them to the rear to the trenches to hand them over to the baggage soldiers responsible for transporting materials, wounded soldiers and bodies.
The kingdoms were concerned about being buried in the soil, while the Qiu Tongren was even more concerned about this. Even if there was only one piece of skin left, the infantry battalion commander had to be found, and even exposed the target and set up a torch in the trenches. Although this was stupidity of seeking death but killing the living, none of the veterans opposed it, and even felt more at ease.
Because, maybe it won't take long to be like this, but they are extremely confident that their superiors will take them home like this.
Death is not scary for veterans who are used to the cruelty of the battlefield. What is scary is that the corpse is abandoned at will and cannot be buried in the soil. It cannot be worshipped by future generations. If you die, you will not be able to eat incense. That is scary.
Speaking of backpacks, this thing is not something that can be found on the battlefield, but a standard configuration for the Qiu Tong Army. As the Qiu Tong Army soldiers arrived at Haicheng from the Sichuan-Guizhou border. Because they did not have many large trucks to transport the bags, many baggage soldiers simply carried the bags that the most commonly used by people in the mountains, put the supplies in the backpacks and carried them from three thousand miles away to the front line of Haicheng.
The 43rd Army was actually quite good in the Qiu Tong Army. At first, Lao Guo hugged the thigh of the governor of Qiu Tongzhou Liu Wei with quick eyes and hands, and obtained some American rifles. A year or two ago, he relied on the king and received another supplement in heavy equipment. Otherwise, it would not be their turn to be a warlord army with unknown lines, each regiment could be equipped with five mortars, and each battalion could have 4 to 6 heavy machine guns. That was the result of Lao Guo's good at judging the situation.
But when the equipment is ready, it cannot be said that the treatment of the 43rd Army has been increased. I won’t talk about the military pay. Ordinary soldiers will only be given once every three silver coins in three months or even half a year. At least there is hope. In addition to weapons, they are still like that, and other daily equipment is simply terrible, which is not much better than in time and space.
Most soldiers were wearing straw sandals and single clothes, without military kettles. The soldiers generally carried bamboo tubes as kettles on their waists, and without steel helmets, wearing hats, which could block the rain on rainy days. In addition, they were wearing single quilts, a small straw mat, and many baggage soldiers carried baskets on their backs, so many foreign military observers who arrived in Haicheng did not think that the Qiu Tong army was an army after seeing these Qiu Tong army. Even if they were carrying heavy machine guns, carrying rifles behind them, and there were grenades that could kill people on their chests and under their ribs. The definition of them was "paramilitary organization".
No one would think that such a "paramilitary organization" could resist the landing of the 10th Army of the Black Hawk Imperial Army in Huangsu City for three days, including many commanders of the Third War Zone, but they no longer had any extra reserves.
So the Kingdom Army guarded Ashui Port, and Qiu Tong Army guarded Huangsu City, waiting for another northern army and Qiu Tong Army to come to support. According to the generals of the Third War Zone, they were just going to be able to defend one day. Fortunately, the commander had ordered the retreat to start, and the main force was withdrawing troops from Xingye to retreat in the direction of Kunshan and Jiangbai City.
No one expected that the first battle on the Jiafu River in Huangsu City, which was not highly expected, was fought so fiercely, but he stubbornly defended the position.
No matter how sad it was, it was a fact that the 48th Regiment defended the position in front of the river bank. Both sides were cleaning up the mess and accumulating strength to prepare for a not-so-distant battle.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!" Shanzi, come and take a few sips slowly." The veteran squad leader pushed the young soldier who was sitting in the trench, his eyes flashing with imperceptible pity.
Some of them took the cigarette gun handed over by the veteran squad leader, but the young soldier did not smoke, but turned his squad leader with a hunchback, with a crying voice in his voice: "Haiguo, is Chen Laoer dead? He asked me to bandage his wound, but at that time..."
Seeing that the veteran squad leader had not answered for a long time, the young soldier covered his face with his hands, buried his head on his knees, and started crying. "But, it's not that I don't want to save him, but that the Black Hawk Empire's Black Hawk Empire is about to rush over. I feel panicked. I want to kill the Black Hawk Empire's people and save him. I really don't want to save him..."
The veteran squad leader sighed slightly in his heart. He knew why the new soldier who had only entered the military camp for half a year was so guilty. At the most intense moment of the battle, he encountered a comrade-in-arms who had been with him day and night and was shot and asked for help. He was panicked. When his life was threatened, he instinctively chose to protect himself. If he did not repel the Black Hawk Empire, everyone here, including him, would have to die, so he chose to continue shooting out of the trenches desperately without rescuing his comrades.
When the battle ended and he came to his senses and wanted to make up for his negligence just now, he found that his comrades had been carried away. What he left for him was the back that no longer moaned and had only drooped his pale palms. The psychological impact for a new recruit who had never experienced such a fierce battle was undoubtedly a huge psychological impact.
He regretted and criticized his cowardice. Perhaps, he bandaged his comrades with cloth strips at that time, and his comrades would still survive.
He squatted down gently and gently stroked the head of a young soldier who was almost a round younger than him with his rough hands. The veteran squad leader said, "Shanzi, you are right, Chen Laoer is dead."
The young soldier covered his eyes tightly with his hands, and more tears came out, clearly visible through his fingers, wetting his pants, which were already covered in soil and water stains, again.
"But he died because of your baby. His chest was shot, a hole bigger than your two fingers. You said, "You guy can save yourself! Do you think your baby can be a god?"
"But..." Young soldiers who are trapped in self-blame always try to find excuses for self-blame.
"Nothing," the veteran squad leader interrupted the young soldier almost arrogantly. "This battle is different from the previous battle. In the past, no matter whether we won or lost, we were from Qiu Tongzhou, but we just had to eat at a different dock. Now, the Black Hawk Empire people of Turtle's son have come. They not only want to steal things but also kill people, but just like the people on the grassland that our ancestors said hundreds of years ago came. Our entire Qiu Tongzhou was almost killed."
This veteran who obviously knows a little history continued, "You have remembered it. During the war, the injured soldiers can only be rescued by the medical staff. What you have to do is kill the Black Hawk Empire until you die, including me being injured, the same goes for the same."
"Sea pot, are you saying, I did nothing wrong?" The young soldier finally raised his head.
"Your kid is doing it right." The veteran squad leader nodded affirmatively. He pointed to the soldiers who were smoking smokers silently in the trenches and pointed to the rear: "Remember, as long as you don't become a deserter, no one will blame you for everyone here and those brothers."
"Yes!" the young soldier nodded.
"You still smoke cigarettes or not! If you don't smoke, please give me back."
"I was still panicked and took a few sips." The young soldier clenched his gun.
"You stupid guy! You're going to suck it, I'll give it to me after you finish sucking. The Black Hawk Empire's people who are the turtle son may be able to shoot again!" The veteran laughed and scolded and patted the young soldier's head, and his eyes turned to the night with a little frightened.
