To the great surprise of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, when they rushed into the trenches and fortifications that had been destroyed by artillery fire, the figures they saw were all scarecrows wearing gray cloth military uniforms. Except for these, there were just a few
The unlucky pheasants and hares killed by the heavy rain of bullets stained the mountain rocks red with their blood.
Does this count as a victory? It should count. I can get an extra meal at least, right?
But there was not even a single figure in the enemy's defensive position.
Only then did the three infantry battalion chiefs announce that this was a military exercise, a long-distance march to attack enemy defensive positions.
The recruits put down their fear and felt a little annoyed at the same time, especially the dozen or so recruits who had been almost kicked in the butt by the instructor before and did not dare to raise their heads. They were so ashamed that their heads almost went into their crotches.
It's so embarrassing. A live-fire exercise scared them like this. What will happen if they go to a real battlefield in the future?
Some of them even blushed and secretly crossed their legs. It was really uncomfortable to have their crotches wet. At the moment when the artillery fire was raging and the whole army opened fire suddenly, I didn't know whether it was because of excessive fear or the rapid secretion of adrenaline.
They cannot control their bladder and urinate directly.
However, this time the sergeants and instructors were not too harsh and pretended not to notice the embarrassment of these soldiers. They were all new recruits, and whether they dared not raise their heads or were frightened to pee, it was very common among recruits.
It is not terrible to be afraid during exercises, because there will be another time. Almost no one who is afraid on the battlefield is qualified to become a veteran. This is also the experience of veterans.
Some things have been said a thousand times, but they are not as good as the last real battlefield. Countless veterans fell in the flames of war, but countless recruits were also tempered by the flames of war and became veterans. Those who are not qualified to become veterans have to pay the price with their lives.
Of course, this exercise is not just an exercise for new recruits. It is also the first mountain attack battle for an independent regiment in which central infantry and artillery coordinate assaults on both wings.
After all, live-fire exercises without any prior notice are different from ordinary exercises. During the infantry and artillery coordination, some soldiers ran too fast and crossed the range that the artillery and Chi Dakui had notified in advance. One soldier was hit by the huge air wave generated by the explosion of the mountain artillery shell.
He flew five to six meters and fell into a ravine. If he hadn't been lucky enough to get caught by a branch, it might not have been as simple as a broken leg bone and internal bleeding. Even so, he was still seriously injured, but for the timely rescue by the health team following the army.
, this person may have become the first martyr to die due to an exercise in the history of the independent regiment.
There were two unlucky guys. One had a piece of flesh about the size of his thigh cut off by shrapnel that exploded a hundred meters away. However, the soldiers who watched the medics bandaging the wounds not only didn’t feel pain but also looked happy. They were so lucky.
If the piece of shrapnel had been moved a few centimeters, it would have cut into the aorta, and even the gods couldn't save him. It would have been death. The most terrifying thing was that if it had been raised just a few centimeters, the thing that he used to carry on his family line would be gone.
Fortunately, none of this happened. One simply ran too fast and stepped on the air, falling to his death. When he woke up on the stretcher, the whole army was already on the way back to Guangyuan with stars in the sky.
A lot of things happened to the veterans, not to mention the new recruits.
At least more than fifteen recruits were injured in this unopposed live-fire exercise, and their injuries were all kinds of weird. Some were scratched by branches, some had sprained feet, and one was even more bizarre, being directly stabbed with a bayonet by his own brother.
Assholes, and they are really brothers.
Zeng Jintu and Zeng Jinshui were both from Qinglong Mountain. They had neither father nor mother since they were young. One time, the Qinglong Mountain bandits were hungry and anxious and went down the mountain to rob. As a result, the village didn't grab anything, but they picked up a pair of thugs like this.
When the bottle came back, it is said that the boy, who was still young at that time, gave the two brothers his bowl of rice soup that could illuminate a person's face clearly, which saved their lives.
When Liu Lang learned about this situation, he couldn't laugh or cry and scolded a bunch of officers in the recruit camp. He had reason to believe that if the recruits hadn't been too nervous, they would have shot the bullets out of their guns before launching the charge.
After all, this recruit named Zeng Shui might not only stab his brother in the butt with a bayonet, but also luckily stabbed the thick-skinned butt with few nerves instead of a vital part.
You know, even if veterans receive a strange order to expend all their bullets before charging, they will habitually put a bullet in the barrel of the gun. Don't ask why, because they are veterans, veterans who survived the cruel battlefield.
.
The humiliated bastard almost beat to death Zeng Jinshui, who did not keep enough distance from his comrades in front during the charge, which resulted in a "murderous incident". Of course, Zeng Jinshui, who did not strictly follow the assault tactics and accidentally ran in front of his brother,
If Jintu hadn't already blossomed, he would have received a beating. During an infantry assault, he must not run directly in front of his comrades.
Of course, because there was a problem in the infantry and artillery coordination, after the commander of the Xinke Artillery Battalion heard that an infantryman was seriously injured, he took the initiative to go to the regimental department and stand obediently in a military posture, which was a very clever look.
Only Li Guobin, who was in the reserve team, escaped the disaster. However, seeing several colleagues being scolded by the group members, Li Guobin consciously joined their team. At this time, he shared the responsibility from the group members.
Anger is a comrade-in-arms, otherwise there will be no one to share the firepower in the future.
An exercise involving only his own people revealed many problems. Liu Lang summoned the battalion chiefs who had turned into pig liver faces at the temporary headquarters and thoroughly reprimanded him. Even Chi Dakui didn't
To escape, if it weren't for Tang Yongming's persuasion, the commanders of each battalion would have had to run ten laps on the spot.
After looking at the silent mountains in the distance, Liu Lang snorted and let go of the arrogant officers, but a drill report for each department was indispensable.
Although as soon as this order came out, a guy like Zhao Ergou who couldn't read a few Chinese characters almost jumped up and shouted that he would rather run ten laps to lose face than write a big character, but Liu Lang, who can't even write a love letter, is designated as the one in this life.
The bachelor made this guy blush like a monkey's butt and stuffed it back.
Poor Battalion Commander Zhao Ergou knew very well that if he jumped again, a certain member of the group would most likely read out his first love letter in public without restraint.
The reason! It's very simple. The love letter was written by Langdanzu himself, although he could not recognize most of the content. But later, according to Lieutenant Colonel Ji, his love letter was very effective, and Nurse Cui'er read it a lot.
I'm so happy, I don't know if it's true or not.
Liu Lang was quite speechless when he saw this bastard who had been restrained by him. He couldn't bear to look at the love letter he wrote for him. He said "You are the clouds in the sky. I, Zhao Ergou, just look up at the clouds."
"The muddy lump" is already a word that Liu Lang, who has only been in love once in his life, is thinking about. But if it is compared to the romantic poets of this era, such as: "A wave of sleeves does not take away a cloud", "New rain"
Compared with the beautiful words and sentences such as "We know each other in the old rain"...
Liu Lang really felt that there was really a difference between clouds and mud.
However, the letter Nurse Cui'er sent back to Ji's family said, "What a shame! God is so unfair that she actually has a crush on this guy."
Damn it, this is your life!
The independent group deserves to be scolded and criticized.
The red general and his subordinates over there are also analyzing intensely.
They waited until the independent regiment withdrew to inspect the results of the firepower of more than a dozen guns and more than fifty light and heavy machine guns.
In just one hour, a total of more than 400 rounds of artillery shells and more than 200,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets devastated the entire mountaintop, making people shudder. This kind of massive outpouring of firepower in a short period of time was unprecedented in other armies.
Met.
