Chapter 129 They are my brothers!
Also confused about this were the people at the Yu Division headquarters. The strange explosion made everyone a little puzzled.
"What's going on over there?" Yu Xiaoqing looked at Liao Mingyu involuntarily.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either."
Monk Liao Mingyu was also confused. You said it was the sound of artillery firing, but it didn't sound like it. The sound was like a pile of cannonballs being detonated together.
Wait...the shell exploded?
Could it be that that bastard Long Wenwen destroyed the artillery positions of Little Japan? Liao Mingyu was shocked when he thought of this.
"Signal Corps, contact the Second Company immediately and ask them to closely observe the situation on the other side of Jiqi Slope and be ready to respond to Deputy Commander Long at any time."
"Yes!" The communications soldier immediately ran to the side, opened the communication channel of the walkie-talkie, and began to contact the first company.
This scene was deeply noticed by Yu Xiaoqing: "Commander Liao, your troop equipment is quite new. This small communication machine is really convenient."
In fact, he just wanted to ask how the Sichuan Army had so many high-end equipment.
The people in the guard camp had either Garands or M2 grease guns. He had only seen these equipment from US allies. How could it appear in the hands of an unknown force, let alone that he had never even seen it?
A walkie-talkie I've ever seen.
This small communication device can actually make wireless calls, and one person can run around with it. It is simply a weapon on the battlefield. With it, are you worried that the troops will not be able to coordinate operations?
"Haha, actually it's just like that." Liao Mingyu laughed.
No wonder he is jealous, this kind of walkie-talkie that is unique in the world has not been developed by other countries except the Americans, let alone used on a large scale.
Yu Xiaoqing frowned and thought for a while, but finally couldn't help but said with a dry smile:
"The weapons of your unit are also very good. I'm afraid they weren't issued from above. If Commander Liao has any special ideas, he might as well introduce them to Yu, and you won't be in vain. Haha, after all,
…We are also friendly forces.”
Oh! It’s really strange to hear these words coming from Yu Xiaoqing’s mouth. It’s not easy for such a proud person to say nice things with such a shy face.
"Master Yu is joking. I might disappoint you if I tell you. You know, these weapons are extremely scarce. I only have one battalion equipped, and I don't have enough."
Liao Mingyu thought to himself, you want to use my equipment, I'm afraid you should stop thinking as soon as possible. I don't have enough for myself, so I introduce it to you? Ask if the system can be sold to you.
"Oh, that would be a pity."
Listening to Liao Mingyu's excuse, Yu Xiaoqing cursed in her heart. You only equipped one battalion? Your battalion has almost caught up with one of my regiments. Isn't it too small?
But he just said it casually. Thinking about it, if you can master this special channel, who would be willing to share it with others? But in this regard, you can ask my father to find some connections to check it out.
"Master Yu, look at it, has Japan's bombardment become weaker?" Liao Mingyu didn't want to dwell too much on this, so he immediately changed the subject.
Yu Xiaoqing helplessly picked up the telescope and looked outside. Not to mention, the Japs' artillery fire was really sparse. Zhongba Beach, which had been exploding incessantly, was now silent. Could it be that the huge explosion just now was from the Japanese?
Is there something wrong with the artillery position?
"Reporting to the regimental commander, Company Commander Deng replied that he had received the signal from Deputy Commander Long and that they were retreating. Also...it was said that Deputy Commander Long and the others had really taken out the Japanese artillery positions."
As soon as the communications soldier received the call back, he immediately ran over to report to Liao Mingyu.
"Um?"
Sure enough, it seems that the loud noise just now was the work of Die La Die La. This bastard really did it.
"Commander Liao, this kind of news cannot be reported blindly by people below. It needs to be verified before making a conclusion."
Yu Xiaoqing looked disdainful. The quartermaster who pretended to be the regiment leader? He was just a sock darning guy. How could he have such skill?
"Really? We'll know soon if it's true or false." Liao Mingyu said with a smile.
"Oh, I don't think the deputy captain Long he mentioned has such ability." Yu Xiaoqing said still stubbornly.
"Hmph, he is very capable. He dares to cross the river with me to rescue people. He dares to lead a small force deep behind enemy lines. Commander Yu, do your soldiers dare?"
Liao Mingyu suppressed his anger and looked at Yu Xiaoqing with evil eyes. Why is this person so annoying? Why do you make irresponsible remarks about my soldiers? It's none of your business. You are so capable, why don't you rely on me to help you defend the river?
Liao Mingyu, who had been chatting and laughing just now, suddenly became anxious. His protective character made him feel embarrassed when he saw the other Yu Division officers.
Yu Xiaoqing just said a few words of doubt about the deputy captain, Captain Liao, and he refused. This is not how a calf protector should be protected.
"Forget it...I won't argue with you, let's wait and see."
Yu Xiaoqing knew that she was in the wrong, so she couldn't help but soften her words. After all, they were here to help, so they couldn't start a fight in public.
Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him, thinking that you know what he is interested in, and then ignored him. He found a chair and sat down, and asked the signal soldier: "How is the situation in the direction of Zhongba Beach?"
"Battle Commander Dong also replied just now. They have repelled the fourth Japanese attack. Now the Japanese troops on the other side of Zhongba Beach have retreated and there is no sign of another attack."
"good!"
"Well done!"
"Ha ha!"
…
Everyone in the headquarters cheered repeatedly. It was not easy. Both the Sichuan Army Corps and the Yu Division suffered heavy losses, but at least Zhongba Beach was defended.
But what the communications soldier said next moved Liao Mingyu.
"Another...the third battalion suffered heavy casualties. Several officers were injured. Commander Li Jie was unconscious, and Company Commander Zhang was injured by a shell. His life or death is uncertain. They have been sent to the rear for rescue."
"What!?"
Liao Mingyu stood up suddenly, grabbed the communications soldier's shoulders, and shouted anxiously: "Where are they being sent now?"
"In...in the temporary field hospital of Yu Division." This sudden movement startled the communications soldier, who replied in fear.
Oh shit!
When he heard that Mi Long and others were injured, Liao Mingyu was extremely anxious. This fool had followed him from the shelter to fight all the way without losing any honors, but he was seriously injured in this defensive battle, which made him calm down.
"Take me there immediately!" Liao Mingyu didn't hesitate at all, and asked the master to go out immediately.
"Don't worry, there are still a few doctors at the field hospital. I'll make a call now and arrange for them to rescue your soldiers as soon as possible."
Yu Xiaoqing comforted him and immediately picked up the phone to tell him to calm down.
"No, I have to go right away."
Liao Mingyu flatly refused. Now that a group of brothers were seriously injured, how could he continue to stay here as if nothing was wrong. Besides, he didn't know how good the doctors at the field hospital were. He didn't dare to bet on whether Milong could survive.
"Commander Liao! How can you get so angry over a few soldiers? How is your behavior different from that of ordinary men? As one of the top commanders on the east coast, your task is to stay at the headquarters and coordinate the overall situation, not
Go to the hospital and cause trouble!"
Yu Xiaoqing said coldly. According to his character, he is the most disgusted with people who act recklessly without etiquette.
Especially on the battlefield, the casualties of lower-level officers are inevitable. How can there be no casualties in a war? Is it what a good commander should do if he ignores the safety of the overall situation for the sake of a few lower-level officers?
"Yu Xiaoqing, don't we still have you in the headquarters? Don't you know that if you leave me, Liao Mingyu, you won't be able to fight?" Liao Mingyu retorted sharply, staring at Yu Xiaoqing with cold eyes.
"I believe my soldiers did not lie to me. Since they dared to say so, they must have killed the enemy's artillery positions."
"Coupled with the huge losses of the Japanese troops on Zhongba Beach, it can be inferred that the enemy's attack has been exhausted and Takeuchi is unable to continue the attack. Just wait here to see Takeuchi retreat."
"A commander not only needs to coordinate the overall situation, but also has excellent judgment and a group of soldiers who can fight for you through life and death. Can you defeat little Japan just by standing here? Also, I have studied surgery.
professional knowledge. It’s not just for you to stare at!”
Liao Mingyu's eloquent words left Yu Xiaoqing speechless. Although the latter did not criticize anymore, she still couldn't agree with his point of view in her heart. Their personalities were too different, and they were destined not to be friends.
"Let's go!"
Liao Mingyu waved his hand, turned around and walked out the door. When he was about to reach the door, he said without looking back:
"Commander Yu, please remember that they are not only my soldiers, but also my brothers!"
The last sentence shocked the hearts of everyone present. Yu Xiaoqing frowned and looked at him with a complicated expression. He asked himself that he could not do this.
What do you want to do as a soldier? National justice may be a bit far away. Most of them want to be fed, clothed and paid. What they fear most is to be betrayed by their superiors. After all, who would be willing to be someone else's chess piece?
But with such a commander who treats them like brothers and sisters, who wouldn't sacrifice their lives for him? Liao Mingyu's two actions today are enough to prove everything.
