By the time the soldiers braved Japanese firepower and pulled Cui Zhenfang back into the trench, Cui Zhenfang was no longer breathing.
On Cui Zhenfang's chest, the soldiers could see several wounds of various sizes, one of which was near his heart. The soldiers took off the trumpet that Cui Zhenfang carried with him. Cui Zhenfang was sacrificed, but as long as they saw
With this trumpet, the soldiers will feel that Cui Zhenfang did not sacrifice, and he is still fighting with them.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. In a moment, comrades from the Eighth Company will come to replace us, and then everyone can have a good rest." The Seventh Company Commander shouted loudly.
The Seventh Company Commander was very cautious. In order to prevent the Japanese from retaliate, even though he knew that everyone was very tired, but in order to ensure the safety of the position, the Seventh Company Commander still issued such an order. Different from the past, this time the Seventh Company Commander
When Chang was giving orders, his voice was much softer. His injured body made him weak.
Some soldiers did not hear the Seventh Company Commander's order clearly and thought it was the Seventh Company Commander who ordered everyone to rest. However, at this time, the soldiers around them stopped them and told them what the Seventh Company Commander's order was.
Soon, the soldiers of the Seventh Company all understood the orders of the Seventh Company Commander, and these soldiers did not have any complaints.
The soldiers lay on the trench, staring in the direction of the Japanese with their eyes full of vigilance. Even though these soldiers were very tired, they forced themselves to cheer up. Before the seventh company commander issued a new order,
Soldiers will work hard to persevere!
"Let the soldiers of the Eighth Company take over the defense of the position. These soldiers of the Seventh Company who have been fighting all day need a good rest!"
"If the Seventh Company hadn't been sticking to the position, the defensive pressure on our special agent group would have been much greater, and the Japanese would have created a gap in the defensive line. The south entrance is very important. No matter what, we have to enter Huangya Cave.
Guard the entrance! As long as the headquarters does not let us withdraw from Huangyadong, then our special agent team will continue to guard it, even if only one person is left in the end!" Captain Ou walked out of the frontline command post and said firmly,
During the battle between the soldiers of the Seventh Company and the Japanese, Captain Ou wanted to lead the soldiers directly to the Seventh Company's position many times to help the Seventh Company defend. However, he was stopped every time by the soldiers of the Guard Company.
As the head of the special agent group, Captain Ou is the commander of this Huangyadong defense battle.
If you want to successfully defend Huangyadong, there must be no problems with Commander Ou. Besides, the battle with the Japanese will not end in a day or two. The secret service team needs to hold on to Huangyadong for a period of time.
, to buy a certain amount of time for the bosses to deploy troops.
The Eighth Company of the Special Agent Regiment quickly entered the position and took over the defense of the Seventh Company. Today's battle caused the Seventh Company to suffer a lot of casualties. After a day of fighting, the number of soldiers in the Seventh Company who could continue to fight was less than three points.
One, many of the soldiers were still injured.
The seventh company commander's injury was very serious. After withdrawing from the position, he was sent directly to the rear for treatment. He could not continue to fight the Japanese on the front line. Originally, the seventh company commander's injury was not serious. If he had gone directly to the rear for treatment,
Then there won't be much of a problem at all.
But unfortunately, after the seventh company commander was injured, he chose to continue to stick to the position, causing his injury to worsen again, and his condition became critical.
After Captain Ou learned that the seventh company commander was in critical condition, he immediately came to the rear and found the seventh company commander who was receiving treatment. However, he was unable to talk to the seventh company commander. On the way to the rear, the seventh company commander
He fell into a coma after a long period of time, and while receiving treatment, he still could not wake up from the coma.
After leaving the medical office, Captain Ou met Liu Gen who was leading the artillery trainees to transfer lathe equipment. While Captain Ou and others were fighting, Liu Gen and others did not rest. They were also fighting in another way.
In order to move the machine tools and equipment in the arsenal as soon as possible, Liu Gen and others have not rested for a day.
During this period, the students had time to rest, but Liu Gen never rested. In the eyes of the students, the principal Liu Gen seemed to have always had enough energy. In Liu Gen, they seemed to have never seen him.
Not even the slightest bit tired.
"Genzi, how is the transfer of the lathe equipment going?" Captain Ou came to Liu Gen and helped Liu Gen who was transferring the lathe.
When Liu Gen saw Captain Ou coming here, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, "It will take another day. There are a lot of things in the arsenal. The workers have been working hard to move the lathe equipment all day long. In the evening, everyone
You must rest, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it."
"Generally speaking, our arsenal is moving very quickly. We should be able to complete the transfer before the Japanese attack here without leaving anything behind for the Japanese."
Captain Ou nodded with satisfaction. The lathe was a bit heavy. Even if Liu Gen and the others were lifting it together, it would still feel very heavy. Captain Ou gritted his teeth and insisted. He was here to help Liu Gen and the others lift the machine tool. Who knew?
The machine tool would be so heavy.
When the machine tool was lifted to a certain distance and Liu Gen asked everyone to rest for a while, Team Leader Ou and the workers couldn't help but sit on the ground and gasp for air. The lathe was too heavy, and it was difficult to move the lathe behind.
It's not an easy job.
"This machine tool is too heavy! I felt a little unbearable when I moved it this time. The comrades in the arsenal have worked really hard. Those of you who can persevere are the heroes of our arsenal!" Captain Ou said with heavy breaths.
Captain Ou looked at Liu Gen's position with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He could see that Liu Gen's expression had not changed much. Moving such a heavy lathe did not seem to have much impact on Liu Gen. Notice this
At one point, Captain Ou realized that he didn't know enough about Liu Gen. He knew that Liu Gen had real abilities, but he didn't expect that Liu Gen's physical fitness would be so good.
"Genzi, I think you haven't been affected too much. Your physical fitness is too good, right?" Captain Ou couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Gen smiled and shook his head and said: "My physical fitness is just like that. It may be because I spend a lot of time moving artillery that I can be so relaxed."
The workers around looked at Liu Gen, with respect for Liu Gen in their eyes. They all knew how much the artillery weighed, and they could understand how hard it was for Liu Gen. Carrying artillery, in some cases, was no more difficult than carrying it.
It is easy to use a lathe, and it is even more difficult than transporting a lathe.
Every time they encounter an enemy and need to evacuate urgently, the artillerymen will subconsciously protect the artillery in the team, and sometimes they even need to run around holding the artillery. At that time, the artillerymen who ran away holding the artillery did not have any
Rest time.
Moving lathes is different. During the transportation process, there is enough time to rest and it will not be so stressful.
Even now, when workers are tired, they will have a certain amount of rest time to ensure that their bodies can recover.
"It sounds simple to say, but it is very difficult to do. Genzi, you are great." Looking at Liu Gen, Captain Ou said seriously.
Liu Gen shook his head again and said: "What I do is not that important. There are many comrades in the arsenal who do better than me. They are the good ones. What I do is still too little!"
Ten minutes later, Liu Gen and others set off again. They needed to transport the machine tool to a sufficiently private place in Huangyadong for burial. As for transporting the machine tool over long distances, it was undoubtedly impossible. The Eighth Route Army had no railways.
, it is impossible to transfer machine tools on a large scale, and relying on animal power is a drop in the bucket.
After transferring the machine tool to the destination, Liu Gen left with Captain Ou. He knew that Captain Ou probably had something to tell him. While moving the lathe, Liu Gen discovered that Captain Ou had been talking to him several times.
I wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Liu Gen was not a fool. After noticing Captain Ou's behavior, how could he not understand what Captain Ou wanted to say to him? It was just that Liu Gen had a bad premonition in his heart that could make Captain Ou so entangled.
Then what Captain Ou is going to tell him next will definitely not be a good thing.
Could it be that Wang Chao and the others had a problem? Liu Gen didn't believe it. Being able to be retained by Liu Gen as an instructor in the artillery school meant that Wang Chao and others were very capable! Liu Gen knew very well that Wang Chao and others
Regarding human abilities, he was certain that unless something went wrong with Wang Chao and others, or they were subjected to a large-scale bombardment by the Japanese, Wang Chao and others would not have any problems.
However, no matter how confident Liu Gen was in Wang Chao and others, Captain Ou's performance still made him a little more uneasy and worried.
"Captain Ou, what's the matter?" Liu Gen asked proactively.
Captain Ou stopped and looked at Liu Gen with a wry smile, "Genzi, did I act so obviously? How did you see it?"
Seeing the change in Captain Ou's expression, Liu Gen fell silent. He realized that his feeling was correct. I was afraid that Wang Chao and others really had a problem. Taking a deep breath, Liu Gen asked directly: "Ou
Captain, just tell me what happened."
"After you asked Wang Chao and five other instructors from the artillery school to join the battle, they did a very good job and destroyed many important weapons and equipment of the Japanese."
"But it was precisely because of this that the Japanese artillery noticed them. In the subsequent battle, the Japanese artillery closely watched every move of Wang Chao and others, and found an opportunity to conduct a covering artillery bombardment on Wang Chao and others. Among them, Liu Yan
, three artillery school instructors, Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiang, died, but the two instructors Wang Chao and Qin Ming had no problems and were still fighting the Japanese on the front line."
"I wanted to ask Wang Chao and the others to withdraw from the front line, but they were unwilling. It can be seen that they wanted to avenge the sacrifice of their comrades." Captain Ou told Liu Gen that Wang Chao and others
Regarding the situation, I would like to ask Liu Gen’s opinion.
In the opinion of Captain Ou, Wang Chao and the others had done a lot on the front line and had killed many Japanese. At this time, Wang Chao and the others had no more use for artillery shells. As artillerymen, without artillery shells, they continued
How many more Japanese can we kill if we stay on the front line? Commander Ou knows how difficult it is to train an artilleryman, and he hopes Liu Gen can ask Wang Chao and others to withdraw from the front line.
"Commander Ou, I understand what you mean, but I am not prepared to let them withdraw from the front line."
"There are still some shells in our artillery department. Please send the shells to Wang Chao and the others. I hope these shells can help them kill more Japanese! At the same time, please tell them that they must protect themselves.
Kill as many Japanese as possible!" Liu Gen said directly.
Liu Gen understood what Captain Ou meant, and also knew that with Wang Chao's performance on the front line, there would be no problems at all, and the soldiers of the special service group would not have any objections. But Liu Gen was not prepared to do this.
This time the Japanese attacked Huangyadong and used a lot of artillery.
Facing the Japanese's large number of artillery, the special agent group responsible for guarding Huangya Cave had no power to fight back. Under this condition, if Wang Chao and the two of them were allowed to remain on the front line, they would be able to play some role in the fight against the Japanese.
To carry out a certain counterattack, even compared with the Japanese artillery, they seemed a little weak.
In such a battle, every artilleryman is very important and can maintain a certain degree of deterrence against the Japanese.
"Genzi, you also know the difficulty we have in cultivating artillery. Wang Chao and the others are both good soldiers, but we can't let them die here." Captain Ou looked at Liu Gen and persuaded.
Liu Gen was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Captain Ou, do you think we are training artillery for what purpose? Training artillery is to enable our troops to better suppress the opponent's firepower and kill more Japanese!"
"Artillerymen, like other soldiers, are all there to kill the Japanese! Now, Wang Chao and the others are staying on the front line just to kill the Japanese! Why should they be withdrawn from the front line?"
Captain Ou smiled bitterly. He found that he was unable to refute Liu Gen. At the same time, he also knew that letting Wang Chao and the others stay on the front line would indeed help the soldiers' defense! But even so, Captain Ou still wanted to
Wang Chao and others must be withdrawn from the front line.
The performance of Wang Chao and others in the frontline battle made Commander Ou clearly see the excellence of Wang Chao and others. Such excellent artillerymen cannot be easily sacrificed on the frontline.
"I will report this matter to the bosses and wait for their opinions. When the time comes, I hope you can obey the bosses' orders!" Captain Ou said firmly.
Liu Gen laughed, "I will also take the initiative to report to the bosses. At the same time, I will also apply to the bosses to fight on the front line. Let's see what the bosses decide then!"
The two looked at each other and could see the firmness in each other's eyes, which made them realize that the other's attitude would not change easily. After realizing this, neither of them had the idea of continuing to persuade the other, so they just said this.
