march to victory

The little devil's arsenal finally exploded, and the mission was finally completed, but for both the enemy and us, no one was happy.

For the little devils, the arsenal was blown up by the enemy, which has a fatal effect and influence on the current battle.

The same is true for those in the assault company.And the reason why they are not so excited is: the comrades who were bragging together yesterday lost too much at once, so much that it makes everyone heartache, so much that everyone sheds tears...

This is war!

To be precise, at the beginning, everyone was still very excited, and cheering scenes could be seen everywhere, as if everyone had left the battlefield and was celebrating the victory behind the enemy lines.

And Zhao Shanhe was also full of excitement, but as Zhao Shanhe walked up to a group of soldiers and took a look, his smile disappeared quickly, and after he glanced roughly, his brows began to wrinkle.

When he asked clearly, a group of 13 soldiers, together with the platoon leader, went down with a total of [-] people, and in the end, only four people came back—six people originally came back, but when they were retreating, the little devil chased them anxiously, and the situation was very dangerous , There were two seriously injured soldiers who wanted to be the last ones, and they fell there forever.

This made Zhao Shanhe's good mood suddenly painful: the soldiers of the assault company are all good fighters, and almost every soldier is selected by him personally in each company, among the militia, and even in the rivers and lakes.It can be said that every soldier is his disciple, his relative, and even his brother. Even if he loses one, he will feel distressed.What's more, nine of them were lost all at once, and now there are only four left in a group of twelve fighters, and everyone is injured, two of them are seriously injured, how can he still be in a good mood.

Not to mention, there was a long line of sacrifices.You know, the first platoon leader came out of the same squad as himself, and we have experienced so much life and death together, so much so that Zhao Shanhe was thinking in his heart that after this battle was over, he would nominate the first platoon leader as the deputy company. After I left the assault company, I suggested to my superiors that a platoon leader should replace me.But he never expected that the platoon leader would disappear here, which made Zhao Shanhe's heart ache even more.

To be honest, everyone understands that there is no reason why people don’t die in war, but when they really face death, especially when they see their comrades sacrificed in front of their eyes, this truth is immediately ignored, and the rest are justified against the enemy. The hatred and the desire to avenge his comrades.Therefore, no matter how experienced Zhao Shanhe is in commanding, even if he was prepared in his heart for the casualties of the assault company from the beginning, even when he was buying time for the first squad, even if he saw his comrades sacrificed in front of his eyes. He can restrain himself, because he understands that if he wants to buy time for a group of soldiers and complete the task, sacrifice is inevitable.But now, the task was completed, but he suddenly heard the bad news of a platoon leader, which made Zhao Shanhe feel extremely sad, and wished he could die instead of his comrades-in-arms.

However, he understands better what is the most important thing for him now: to lead the remaining living comrades back home safely.

So, although he clenched his fists in grief, his eyes were red, and his teeth were gritted, he still tried his best to restrain the thought of taking everyone back to kill him.

After enduring it for a while, he managed to suppress the grief and indignation in his heart with reason. After saying a few words about the safety of those soldiers, he loudly shouted to the comrades around who were still celebrating: "Assemble! Retreat according to plan." ...Old Peng, please stand for me, I have something to do over there."

Then, without looking back, he walked to the side and hid behind a broken wall... Although everyone didn't know how Zhao Shanhe went behind the wall at this time, everyone could see clearly that Zhao Shanhe was walking In the past, his shoulders shrugged, and when he was at the corner of the aisle, his right hand seemed to wipe his eyes——Zhao Shanhe is also a man of flesh and blood, and he also has his own feelings. He needs to vent and cry, but he As the company commander, he couldn't do this in front of everyone, because it would affect morale, so he could only find a place where no one was around to vent his emotions.

When the soldiers assembled again, Zhao Shanhe also came out from behind the wall.

Everyone could see his eyes turned red, and there were even tears in the corners of his eyes, but Zhao Shanhe still held his head high.Seeing everyone looking over suspiciously, he still yelled as usual: "What the hell are you looking at? Gather me, and then, let's go home."

The bombing of the ammunition depot is like a watershed, affecting both the enemy and the enemy. The most direct manifestation is the morale on the battlefield in Baoyuan County.

In the beginning, both the enemy and the enemy fought fiercely whether it was offense or defense or fighting, because both sides held their breath and believed that they could defeat their opponents.

However, when the huge explosion sound spread throughout the county and its surrounding areas, along with the cheers from the assault company, the whole county was reminded of cheers.And such cheers, for the Assault Company, the Third Battalion and the Main Regiment, were naturally cheering and greatly boosted morale.

However, on the other hand, for the little devil, it would definitely be a huge mental blow: After all, despite his desperate fight, the ammunition depot was blown up by the enemy, so what is there to say?What else?In this way of thinking, low morale is also inevitable.

Generally speaking, when the strength of a match—even if it is partial strength, is almost the same, once the two sides fall into a stalemate, basically it has nothing to do with weapons, numbers, etc. The real decision can only be the two sides fighting willpower.

But now, one side's morale has suddenly risen, and the other's morale has plummeted. There is almost no need to think about the outcome.

As far as the current situation is concerned, when the little devil's morale drops, his willpower to fight begins to weaken sharply, and he has no fighting spirit.Of course, there is another situation, that is, after receiving a huge blow, it will turn an army into a mourning soldier, thus breaking out extremely terrifying fighting power.

However, if you want to become an underdog, you must have a prerequisite: be cornered.

And now, although the ammunition depot of the little devils has been blown up, the spiritual support of the little devils is still there, because they still have a responsibility: to guard the county and the barracks.

In other words, unless the Third Battalion Commander Qi Zixuan wants to take the opportunity to take down the entire county, he will once again arouse the little devil's heart to die. Otherwise, as long as the Third Battalion Commander and the others retreat, the little devil may not even have the intention to pursue.

In fact, on this issue, the commander of the third battalion really hesitated. After all, on the premise of completing the mission, it is the truest desire of everyone to obtain greater military exploits and fight against the little devils even more.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, the little devil's morale is low now, while his own morale is high. It can be said that this is the best time to take down the entire county, and it is an absolute opportunity that must not be missed.

However, Luo Yingjie strongly objected to this, reasoning: since the task has been completed, then don't make any further complications.Moreover, the little devil's arsenal was blown up, but the little devil's main force did not suffer a big loss because of this, and the combat effectiveness is still very strong, especially if the little devil is cornered and the little devil jumps over the wall in a hurry, rely on us These people, whether or not they can attack the county seat, even if they are captured, can they really defend it?Even if we can hold on now, when the little devil in front returns, will we still be able to hold on?

Another point is that the regiment fought the little devils in the county seat of Sanqiao County, and the casualties must be huge, so we should rush over to help as soon as possible.And once we are also dragged here, the county seat of Sanqiao County needs our reinforcements. At that time, it will really be unfavorable to both ends, and neither end will be able to get them.

Rather than that, it would be better to stop here and send emergency reinforcements to the county seat of Sanqiao County... In fact, after immediately reporting the victory here to the regiment headquarters, the regiment headquarters replied directly that the county seat of Sanqiao County had already been breached by the little devils , Street fighting is going on.The regiment headquarters actually said such words to the battalion headquarters below. From this, one can imagine how difficult and tragic the assault regiment fought in the county seat of Sanqiao County.

To be honest, this is Luo Yingjie's calm move. From this, it can be seen that he has fought against Lao Jiang for so many years in Sanqiao County and its surrounding areas, and he has become stronger and stronger. His own leadership skills are still very good , at least, not being greedy for merit is something that many people find difficult to achieve.

I don't know which one moved Qi Zixuan, but in the end, Qi Zixuan reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to take all of Baoyuan County.

Qi Zixuan has a huge advantage: since he has made up his mind, he will definitely implement it seriously.

No, as soon as he gave up his desire to take down the county seat, he immediately began to deploy, asking everyone to quickly follow the plan in advance, cover each other, and retreat alternately.In particular, I would like to remind everyone: the wounded are given priority!Be sure to check as much as possible on the battlefield, and don't miss the wounded.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, under such a huge mental blow, the little devils temporarily lost their previous madness. Even after the last soldier left the city, the little devils had no intention of chasing them out of the city at all. At the break of the city wall, a few shots were fired at the men and horses of the assault regiment that had disappeared into the night. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were sent out of the country as a gift.

This made Qi Zixuan's original plan to wait for the little devil to chase him out of the city, and his plan to ambush the little devil halfway also failed.

But that's good, everyone can rest assured: Although the battle just now lasted less than an hour and a half, the tension and intensity in it were absolutely thrilling.For the men and horses of the assault regiment, if they are not careful, there is a high possibility that the entire army will be wiped out.Fortunately, the result was very good, they successfully completed the task.

I am worthy of the heavy responsibility in the regiment, worthy of the sacrificed comrades, worthy of the support of the villagers, and worthy of my own military uniform. I have a satisfactory explanation for everyone, and I will not disgrace the mission and not humiliate-Chinese soldiers!

After all the surviving soldiers retreated from the city smoothly, and came to a small hillside five or six miles away from the city, Qi Zixuan asked everyone to stop, turned around on the spot, and saluted—a salute to the comrades who died heroically in this battle!

Immediately, everyone took a detour to join the main group, and after a little celebration, they hurried towards Sanqiao County overnight.

Compared with the tragedy of the Third Battalion and the Assault Company, which lasted less than an hour and a half, what Zhang Qingshan and the others fought with the little devils in Sanqiao County was nothing more than a few days and nights of street fighting. The intensity is definitely not comparable here of……
