Chapter 606 Battalion Commander Remember to Buy Me a Drink (ask for a monthly ticket)

Whenever the Japanese army carried out major raids on the Eighth Route Army, the Devils Airport was always in a state of combat readiness.

After Shinozuka Yoshio's order was transmitted, the Devil's fighter jets set off immediately and rushed to the Taihang area to support the retreating Japanese troops.

This time, Shinozuka Yoshio sent a total of more than [-] planes.

And it is emphasized in the order: "After completing the reinforcement of the troops transferred from various routes, we will wait for the opportunity to find some prominent military facilities in the Eighth Route Army's base areas and destroy them."

In this Tiegun raid, it is obvious that the Japanese army was completely defeated.

Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, jumped the wall in a hurry.

He dispatched more than [-] troops, which is also a secret service team and an observation team.

As a result, even the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army's base area was defeated.

Right now, we can only send fighter jets to bomb the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and bully the Eighth Route Army without air force.

Think of it as a demonstration against the Eighth Route Army, as a fig leaf after the Japanese army's disastrous defeat.

And not long after the devil's flying team set off.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who is in the headquarters of Taiyuan City, received another bad news from the counties.

Many Eighth Route Army troops infiltrated the county towns and carried out secret assassination operations against a large number of officers in the county towns.

The staff officer who came to report the news had a serious face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, so far, news has spread from various counties that a large number of officers have been attacked by unknown enemies. In addition, many of our military power stations and communication stations in the city have also been attacked by enemies who sneaked into the county. The army’s secret blasting caused quite heavy losses.”

"Mr. Zhongyuan of Yangquan was attacked and killed by a cold gun!"

"The captains of the gendarmerie in Shouyang, Heyuan and other counties were assassinated and killed, and a large number of officers, even some officers of the puppet army, were not spared."

"So far, according to the statistics passed over, Duofang County was infiltrated and raided by a small group of enemy troops, and more than 220 officers have been killed, including 11 junior officers and 74 lieutenant officers of our army. The officers of the Imperial Association Army were attacked in large numbers, more than a hundred people were attacked, and some members of the Association maintained by our army in various counties..."

After the staff officer's report, he noticed that Commander Shinozuka Yoshio's face was ugly and tense, and he stood aside with his head slightly lowered, not daring to say any more.

"Understood, you go down!"

"Hi!"

After the staff officer left, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't bear it any longer, he was furious, and slapped the table loudly.

"Baga, these damn bastards! It must be the Eighth Route Army, and it can only be the surprise troops of the Eighth Route Army.

We swept up their base in front, and they then used a small force to attack our security officer as a revenge. "

Bei Chuan Bushi, the devil's chief of staff, said: "General, the Eighth Route Army is vicious with vicious intentions. This is to take advantage of the main force of our army to sweep up its roots and land, and to enter our county to destroy it."

Yoshio Shinozuka, who had vented his anger, calmed down a little, nodded, and asked, "What's the current situation in each county?"

Bei Chuan replied: "General, please rest assured, after all, it is only a small group of troops from the Eighth Route Army that sneaked into the various counties."

"After our army quickly deployed control and rounded up the city, these enemy troops who infiltrated the county and attacked them have been forced to evacuate."

"Didn't you catch any prisoners?" Shinozuka Yoshio asked.

Bei Chuan shook his head with a bitter face, "General, these people definitely came prepared, and the sneak attack method is even more elusive. They succeeded in a sneak attack and quickly retreated.

In addition, I suspect that they have secretly supporting troops in the city. "

"After the sneak attack broke out, our army quickly sealed off and deployed the entire city, but we still couldn't catch the enemy, and we didn't even see the enemy's shadow."

After hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "The law and order are not stable, so why talk about mopping up? This is exactly what the Eighth Route Army wants."

"After the mopping up is temporarily suspended, we must focus on the security of the city. We must thoroughly screen out the spies of the Eighth Route Army in the city and eliminate them once."

Zhongshan Village.

Shen Quan is leading the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

The devils from the Matsuda Battalion and the Artillery Squadron, a team of more than a thousand people, have been wiped out here by Shen Quan and his party.

Fighting took place a few kilometers away around Zhongshan Village.

It was the reinforcement team arranged by Shen Quan, in order to prevent the Japanese mopping up troops from coming to reinforce when the devil brigade was wiped out in Zhongshan Village.

Looking at the devils lying on the ground, the devils who died under artillery and heavy machine guns accounted for the majority, the eighth company commander beside him couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"Battalion Commander, there are more than 1000 devils! In less than an hour, they were all stunned by us?"

Shen Quan smiled and said, "Why, do you feel like you're dreaming?"

The commander of the eighth company said: "Who says it's not? If it was in the past, we wouldn't have dared to think about such a battle. With just over 1000 devils, it is estimated that our independent regiment would be forced to transfer."

"But this battle was really fun. The Yankee's Browning heavy machine gun is easy to use. It is powerful and has a high rate of fire. There are six heavy machine guns in one. This little devil is like a watermelon delivered to the door. Wipe it Just rot, hit and die."

"The heavy machine gunner of our company came to me with a grin after the battle, and even pretended to ask me to give him credit!"

"Then I asked, what merit did your kid do?"

"As a result, Battalion Commander, guess what they said?"

Shen Quan said: "What did you say?"

"As I said, company commander, I didn't count carefully during the battle. I just conservatively estimated that I killed at least one hundred devils with a heavy machine gun. I killed one hundred devils in one battle alone. Don't give credit to those who don't?"

The eighth company commander was very vivid, and said with a bit of humor imitating the expression of the heavy machine gunner soldier.

After hearing this, Shen Quan laughed loudly and said, "The soldiers are right. Back when we were fighting devils, it was not bad for a veteran soldier to kill five devils. Of course, if he killed one hundred devils Please credit."

The Eighth Company Commander smiled wryly: "Battle Commander, if you say that, the other heavy machine gunners will definitely not be happy either. They killed a lot in this battle!"

"Then give credit to everyone, what's so difficult about it?" Shen Quan said happily.

The Eighth Company Commander patted his dusty hands from the seized ammunition.

"Well, from now on, the heavy machine gunner will probably become the most sought-after position in our company."

Shen Quan didn't speak immediately, but looked at the soldiers who were treating the wounded, and after a while, said:

"Remember what the head of the group once said in a class?"

The eighth company commander scratched his head, "What are you talking about?"

Shen Quan said: "The head of the regiment said that for soldiers, there is one thing that is more important than life, and that is the glory of soldiers."

"But on the battlefield, when you strive for this kind of glory, it also means taking the greatest risk."

"Soldiers can't take it one-sidedly. This heavy machine gunner can indeed inflict the greatest damage on the enemy on the battlefield."

"But this is also the most dangerous position. The devils are not stupid. The terrifying firepower like heavy machine guns will be their first target."

"To be able to survive and kill a large number of devils is already a great fortune."

The commander of the eighth company thought deeply, "Commander, what you said is so true, our heavy machine gunners carry the most powerful weapons, kill the most devils on the battlefield, and earn the most honors. When walking in a regiment, the heads are raised in the air, and the cows are coaxing, why? This is what people put their lives into!"

"I also told the soldiers that if you want to use a heavy machine gun, you can do it. You need to have the experience and ability to do the training in normal times before I can hand over the heavy machine gun to you."

Shen Quan nodded with a smile, this is correct.

"How about our casualties? Has the statistics been completed?"

There is always death in war, it is simply unavoidable.

Every time the devils were killed, the soldiers fought happily.

But when the battle is over, the last thing they want to mention is the casualties.

Therefore, when the independent regiment fights normally, the battle is not over. In order not to affect the combat mood of the soldiers, the casualties will never be notified in advance.

The Eighth Company Commander sighed: "Battalion Commander, we can say that we have an all-round advantage in this battle."

"The equipment is better than the devils, and the number of people is no less than the devils, but after this battle, we still sacrificed more than 100 soldiers and injured more than [-] people."

Shen Quan didn't say anything more, but arranged:
"Leave an appropriate number of fighters, seize the time to treat the wounded, collect the remains, and the rest follow me. The battle is not over yet, immediately send reinforcements to other directions."

"Yes!"

Just as he was talking, a few whistles suddenly sounded from afar.

It was the guard post that Shen Quan placed on the surrounding high slopes out of his usual caution.

Hearing the whistle, Shen Quan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted: "The devil's plane is coming, withdraw, so people immediately retreat to the village!"

"Eighth Company Commander, tell the troops to transport the wounded first, withdraw into the village immediately, and move to the tunnel!"

The message from the previous whistle was: AIR STRIKE!

This means that the devil's enemy plane will arrive immediately, but it was first discovered by the soldiers at the guard post.

In this battle, the soldiers have actually been wary of the devils sending planes to attack.

After Shen Quan's order was issued quickly, the soldiers acted in a hurry without being chaotic.

"Everyone retreat immediately, don't clean up the battlefield yet!"

"Throw away all the heavy weapons and equipment, it's important to save your life first!"

While roaring, Shen Quan directed the soldiers to quickly move to Zhongshan Village.

There is no time to clean the battlefield that has not been cleaned.

Due to the bulkiness of those dozens of heavy cannons, they were still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the village after being pushed and turned by the soldiers.

The corpses of devils were poured outside, and the soldiers hurriedly carried the wounded and the remains of the sacrificed soldiers into the village first.

In less than a dozen seconds, the roar of the devil's plane engine was heard in midair.

Shen Quan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this voice.

"The noise is too loud. The devil's plane probably flew over at a low altitude. We are afraid that we will not be able to avoid the sight of the devil. Everyone immediately moved to the tunnel."

Fortunately, the area where the previous battle broke out was not too far from the village.

The soldiers entered the village quickly and orderly, and then, under Shen Quan's order, drilled into the tunnel in the village from the entrance of the tunnel.

These tunnels were dug quite solidly. If the devil's planes came over three meters below the ground, as long as they didn't bombard an area continuously for a long time, they wouldn't blow up these dug tunnels.

The fighters move fast enough.

The wounded were all transferred, and the soldiers basically entered the village. Most of them successfully entered the tunnel, and some of them relied on the houses in the village to hide, so they would not be easily spotted by the devil's plane.

After directing the transfer, Shen Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

There were already bombardments outside.

Shen Quan, who was at the entrance of the tunnel, was cautious, and when he arranged for the last batch of transferred soldiers to enter the tunnel, he asked one more question: "Have everyone entered the village?"

Baotian, a small soldier of the communication soldier who came last, said with red eyes: "Battle Commander, our platoon leader is still leading everyone outside the village!"

Shen Quan scolded: "What happened? The devil's plane has already arrived, didn't I tell everyone to move immediately?"

Baotian, whose eyes were already red with anxiety, had tears in his eyes, and he whimpered between his words.

"The battalion commander and the platoon leader said that it was not easy for us to seize the dozen artillery pieces this time. If we don't pull the artillery pieces into the village, they will definitely be discovered by the devil's plane and blow them all up!"

"When everyone was running towards the village, the platoon leader led us to run in the direction of the artillery, preparing to pull the artillery into the village and hide it before the devil's bombs were dropped."

Having said this, Yasuda's tears could no longer be suppressed, falling down like a bank bursting.

"The battalion commander...the devil's bomb is coming...we are all afraid of death, but when we saw the platoon leader running towards the gun, none of us hesitated and followed."

"I was kicked back by the platoon leader halfway."

... In the tears of Baotian bursting the dike, the situation seems to have returned to the moment before the devil's bomb was about to fall.

outside the village.

Most of the soldiers have entered Zhongshan Village under Shen Quan's order.

Huang Renxuan, the leader of the communication platoon, has been leading the team to stay at the back of the team to ensure smooth communication throughout the process.

Make sure that Shen Quan, the commander, can receive the communication as soon as possible to know the specific transfer situation of the soldiers, and whether the last soldier has also moved into the village.

When the bomb was about to fall, Platoon Leader Huang caught a glimpse of a dozen artillery pieces more than ten meters away.

What a good artillery, it's only about ten meters away, and it can be pulled to the village in a while.

Thinking of this, Platoon Leader Huang gritted his teeth, and ran towards the artillery without caring about his life.

He didn't think much about it at the time, and he didn't even consider whether he could pull those heavy artillery by himself.

Then, the platoon leader Huang ran like this, and more than 20 soldiers in the communication platoon around him followed without saying a word.

Baotian is the smallest soldier in the communication platoon, and he is still dissatisfied.

Usually, platoon leader Huang takes care of Bao Tian the most, not like a platoon leader, but like a brother.

Seeing that platoon leader Huang and his party were running towards the artillery, Baotian quickly followed.

On the way, the platoon leader Huang with a determined face suddenly caught a glimpse of Bao Tian who was following up, his face changed suddenly, and he cursed: "Little bastard, what are you doing following?"

"I want to grab the artillery back with the platoon leader."

Yasuda's reason is so simple and pure.

Everyone guessed Huang's intention.

Huang Renxuan scolded: "You little bastard, aren't you afraid of death?"

Baotian gritted his teeth, "...the platoon leader is not afraid, and neither am I!"

"You bastard, how old are you? You haven't even grown your hair yet, so get the hell out of here!"

"Platoon leader, I'm not afraid of death!"

"Bullshit, I'm not going to die, besides, I'm keeping you back to report to the battalion commander!"

As he said that, the platoon leader Huang, who has always been mild-tempered, turned his head and kicked Baotian to the ground, shouting loudly: "Go back and tell the battalion commander, I'm going to order the machine gun company of our battalion, and let the battalion commander remember Buy me a drink!"

Before the words were completely finished, Platoon Leader Huang had rushed to the location of the artillery with the soldiers of the communication platoon.

Pulling the cannon, he pushed hard towards the direction of the village.

Bao Tian ran back to report the situation to Shen Quan with red eyes.

... the mouth of the tunnel.

After listening to Baotian's narration, Shen Quan clenched his fists so hard that his nails almost dug into the heart of his flesh.

boom -

There was already a roar outside the entire tunnel.

The village also seemed to be affected by the explosion, and debris fell down at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Platoon leader—" Baotian was crying so hard that he wanted to spread the word to the outside world, but was dragged back by Shen Quan, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, and pressed him firmly against the wall.

The explosion outside the tunnel lasted for a while before it gradually stopped.

The entire tunnel entrance was almost completely closed by sundries.

When there was no movement outside, Shen Quan ordered the soldiers to clear the tunnel entrance, and sent some scout soldiers out of the house first to investigate the situation.

"Battalion Commander, the devil's plane has withdrawn!"

"At the entrance of the village, go to the entrance of the village immediately to check the situation!"

Shen Quan took the lead, rushed out of the tunnel entrance, and rushed towards the entrance of the village with some soldiers.

After quickly rushing to the entrance of the village, Sun Quan glanced over, and saw that the corpses of the devils that had been dripping all over the ground had been blown to mutilated limbs, making them a mess.

The open land outside the entire village is like a purgatory.

But none of that matters.

Shen Quan's gaze quickly searched the open space, he was anxious to find the platoon leader Huang and his party.

His eyes searched, with urgency.

quickly,

found it,
It was more than 20 soldiers, wearing the unique uniforms of the independent regiment soldiers.

Brand new military uniforms, that is the pride of soldiers!

There are also the military boots on the feet, which are the capital for the soldiers of the independent regiment to brag to the outside world.

At this moment, it was just a piece of incomplete, and more than 20 soldiers were lying quietly on the ground.

Several infantry artillery and mountain artillery that were equally incomplete by the devil's bombs were scattered around, and the scattered parts proved that no matter how beautiful these artillery were "before they were alive", they can only be reduced to scrap iron at this moment.

"Platoon leader—"

Heart-piercing cries.Baotian rushed towards a figure like crazy.

The body was somewhat mutilated, and one hand was firmly clasped on the roller of a mountain cannon.

His face was blurred, but the face of Platoon Leader Huang, which appeared in the soldiers' memory, was still clear.

Tears slipped from the corners of the eyes of the living soldiers around.

Shen Quan cheered up and noticed that under the earthen wall at the entrance of the village, there were five artillery pieces, three 75mm mountain cannons and two 70mm infantry cannons.

Huang Renxuan did it, protecting these cannons with his life.

Yasuda’s previous words seem to be still echoing in everyone’s ears:

"Little bastard, with these artillery, how many comrades can we sacrifice less in the future? Hundreds or even thousands of people, our communication platoon will all be sacrificed, and it will be worth it!"

Tears that could no longer be suppressed quietly slipped from the corners of the iron-blooded general Shen Quan's eyes.

He muttered in his heart:

Lao Huang, I owe you this drink... What the hell, isn't it just a few cannons? How many times has the commander said that no matter how important a weapon is, it is not as important as a human life. Why are you so fucking confused? Woolen cloth?

The soldiers continued to clean the battlefield silently, with tears in the corners of their eyes...
