In the first two days, because there were not enough fish pots and traps, in addition to hunting, Li Hao took Wang Bing and Li Feng to the river to fish whenever he had time.
Throwing a net for fishing requires very high arm strength, and each time you throw the net, you spend a lot of energy.
So every time he came back from the river, Li Hao's arms would be so sore that he couldn't even lift his rice bowl.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted for two days.
After launching twenty fish traps in a row, Li Hao felt much less stressed.
The quality of the soldiers' food is crucial to a fierce battle. The regiment commander, who usually rarely pays attention to the troops' meals, pays special attention to it this time.
As long as there is no combat mission, he will wander around the company positions and check the troops' meals.
Li Hao's hard work over the past two days, fishing day and night, setting traps... he saw it all.
A boy who had just turned fourteen was able to take the initiative to improve food for the troops when they were in danger. In the end, he relied on his strong perseverance to complete this task that others seemed impossible.
The regiment leader, who had always regarded Li Hao as a child, looked at him squarely for the first time and regarded him as a real Red Army soldier.
"Political commissar, the old squad leader is right, this Haozi is indeed a commander."
"If nothing else, the strong perseverance you showed at the age of fourteen cannot be matched by many squad leaders in the army!"
"In addition, the tactical movements, marksmanship, and flexible brain he has developed himself are all qualities that an excellent commander should possess!"
The political commissar nodded and affirmed: "The old squad leader has always had a very good eye for people!"
"If I remember correctly, several company commanders in the regiment were recommended by the old squad leader, and so far there has not been a single coward!"
"I heard that the old squad leader now teaches Haozi every night. It seems that the old squad leader plans to regard Haozi as his successor!"
The leader shook his head and replied: "The only problem is that Haozi is too young~"
"If he reaches the age of fifteen, I will definitely not let him continue to stay in the cooking class!"
"Furthermore, the old squad leader has come to me more than once, telling me how outstanding this Haozi is, and that we must give him more opportunities if we have the conditions!"
"This must be given!" the political commissar replied.
"We must help the old squad leader, and this Haozi is indeed good. We must cultivate a good young man who may become an excellent commander, and we must not waste it!"
Li Hao didn't know that he had been targeted by the regiment leader and political commissar.
But the old squad leader knew that he knew the group leader very well.
If Li Hao wants the group leader to remember him, he must show up in front of the group leader more often and show his good side.
This is why the old squad leader two days ago supported Li Hao in agreeing to the group leader's undertaking to take on a task that seemed almost impossible to others.
Through this mission, he wanted to let the group leader see a mature, steady, and different Li Hao.
Only with the approval of the group leader can the group leader take care of Li Hao for the sake of his old brother.
When I dragged my tired body back to the cooking class station, lunch was already ready.
"Old squad leader, plus the harvest from the fish cages last night, there are more than 120 kilograms of fish in total. After excluding those for the regiment, we still have more than 20 kilograms left!" Li Hao reported as soon as he saw the old squad leader.
"Hurry up and have lunch, then come with me to the battlefield to deliver meals to the troops, and bring your rifles and bullets with you!" the busy old squad leader ordered without raising his head.
"Go to the battlefield!" Li Hao was both nervous and looking forward to it.
Staring at the old squad leader, he asked, "Didn't you say that I can't go to the battlefield before I'm sixteen?"
"No matter how much a recruit learns, as long as he has never been on the battlefield or fought in a war, he will never become a veteran..." the old squad leader explained with a frown.
"By not letting you go to the battlefield, I want you to remember that you will never be as impulsive as last time, charging directly into the battlefield without consulting anyone!"
"That's too dangerous. If no one cooperates to cover it, you might lose your life!"
"Follow the troops and follow the orders and participate in the battle. When you get to the battlefield, don't be impulsive or aggressive. Then there will be no problem!"
Li Hao reacted immediately and replied with excitement: "I'm going to prepare now!"
After several months of training, he has too many training results that need to be tested on the battlefield, and he will not let go of this opportunity no matter what.
The enemy's offensive was very fierce. After one wave of attacking troops was repulsed, a new wave of attacking troops rushed up, one after another.
On the ground from 20 to 30 meters to more than 100 meters in front of the position, one or two hundred white dog corpses had fallen scattered.
Before he even entered the position, the acrid smoke mixed with the strong smell of blood hit his face, choking Li Hao and almost suffocating him.
Taking advantage of the gap between the enemy's attacks, the old squad leader and Li Hao quickly distributed the lunch boxes filled with food to every soldier in the second company, and then stood by and waited for everyone to finish eating.
"Get ready to fight, the enemy is attacking again!"
However, as soon as the meal was half finished, company commander Zhang Yu sounded an angry order from the position.
The remaining fifty or so soldiers of the second company put their half-eaten lunch boxes aside and took the opportunity to hold their rifles in their hands. They slowly poked their heads out of the trench, then stretched out the muzzles of their rifles, ready for battle.
.
"Haozi, prepare to fight!" The old squad leader squatting next to him also became serious.
"The rifle is placed on top of the trench, and with both hands clenched, I can only expose the part above the eyes from the trench to find the shooting target!"
"When shooting, be sure to hold the butt of the rifle with your shoulder, and do not let the rifle shake due to recoil!"
"I won't say more about the three points and one line, you should know it!"
"Also, check a few more shooting positions around you. After shooting, no matter whether you hit the target or not, immediately squat down and hide in the trench. Don't hesitate and don't look at the shooting effect. Then move to the shooting position next to it and look for the next shot.
A shooting target!”
"The last and most important thing is, when shooting, hit the enemy officer first, then the enemy machine gunner, and finally the infantry. Try to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness as much as possible and reduce your own pressure!"
Li Hao listened to what the old squad leader said.
After taking a deep breath, suppressing the excitement and anticipation in his heart, he quietly stared at the white dog getting closer and closer in front of the position.
There was only one company of the attacking force, forming a skirmish line, and they were very vigilant and pressed towards the position.
The heavy machine guns at the back providing cover fire never stopped firing. Bullets flew over like rain. From time to time, soldiers were shot and fell in the trenches.
"Brothers, charge for me! Capture the Red Army position, and each person will be rewarded with fifty yuan." The leading company commander waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted while charging, intending to boost the morale of his subordinates through heavy rewards.
"Machine gun cover, charge forward, kill all the Red Army!" When they were still fifty meters away from the position, the enemy's attack pace accelerated significantly.
Holding the gun in hand, he ran towards the position as if he didn't care about his life.
The two light machine guns accompanying the team's attack were set up on the ground and began to fire at the position under the control of the machine gunner.
"beat!"
When Li Hao's hands holding the rifle were already sweating coldly because the enemy was so close, the company commander's order finally reached his ears.
