At dusk, soldiers from the first and second platoons escorted more than a dozen Korean prisoners and returned to the ninth company station. At the west end of the Qingchuan River Bridge, they met Feng Ren, commander of the ninth company, and gave instructions to Cheng Min.
Chen Jiushan reported the battle situation of the platoon to the two company leaders, "Company commander, instructor, the platoon has been severely attrited. We now have only thirteen combatants, and several wounded brothers have been transferred to rear hospitals. Yes.
I didn't command well and was a drag on the brothers."
Feng Ren patted Chen Jiushan on the shoulder and said, "Jiushan, Santong, you are amazing. I heard Director Wang of the Regiment Political Department say that you rescued our pilots and blew up the US military oil base. It is amazing. You have contributed to our nine
Even won the glory."
Feng Ren turned around and asked Cheng Min, "Instructor, how many new recruits have we added to the regiment this time?"
Cheng Min replied, "The rear is also very difficult. U.S. military planes are bombing frequently. This time the regiment has only added five new soldiers for us. Let's give them all to one platoon. If the first platoon keeps fighting, the others will not have any objections."
As winter approaches, logistical supplies become more and more difficult. Dinner is potatoes and salted cucumbers. However, the soldiers eat it with gusto. Second Pillar puts on a show of style, pats the fifth squad leader Jiang Santian on the shoulder and says, "An American soldier on Route 9.
Checkpoint, I seized a whole box of canned beef, a whole box!" At this point, Erzhu stopped talking, picked up a piece of salted cucumber, and put it into his mouth.
"Ah, where is the whole box of canned beef!" The soldiers all widened their eyes. Jiang Santian shook Er Zhuzi's arm and asked eagerly, "Er Zhuzi, what happened next? There is a whole box of canned beef!
"
The second pillar shrugged and replied, "It's a pity that our platoon leader refused to let me carry it, saying that it would be a burden to carry it when marching, so I had to throw it away, otherwise I would bring it back to improve the food for the brothers."
"Ah, a whole box of canned beef has been thrown away. It's such a waste. This Chen Jiushan must be a bully landlord in his grandmother's family!" The soldiers were indignant and laughed loudly, "Haha, haha——" An optimistic atmosphere
, which dilutes the feeling of hard life.
At the company headquarters, Feng Ren, Cheng Min, Liu Santang, Lu Chen, and Chen Jiushan gathered together to have dinner, which was also potatoes and salted cucumbers. Chen Jiushan said, "Company commander, instructor, Seventh Company Commander Qiu Mingliang is going to detain us in a row."
, let us join the Seventh Company, Deputy Chief Liu scolded him, and Chief of Staff Han ignored Qiu Mingliang's suggestion."
"Ah, this Qiu Mingliang is really crazy!" After listening to Chen Jiushan's report, Feng Ren stood up angrily and said angrily, "You don't know, this Qiu Mingliang is now arrogant. He just joined the army in Lunan
At that time, he was a soldier in my class and a coward. Every time he heard the sound of gunfire, he would hide his head in the sorghum field and stick his butt out, and he would be kicked hard by me."
Feng Ren sat down angrily again, "Hey, now that I think about it, I really regret it. I should have been more ruthless and kicked several of Qiu Mingliang's ribs."
Cheng Min laughed loudly, patted Feng Ren on the shoulder and said, "Old Feng, you have already violated discipline by beating and scolding the soldiers. Fortunately, you were gentler, otherwise you would have been punished."
Five new soldiers were added to the first platoon, one from the third squad of the Second Pillar, one from the second squad of Liang Jianghe, and three from the first squad of Ha Dajiang. The first platoon plus platoon leader Chen Jiushan had a total of eighteen people, still four from the ninth company.
The smallest number of people in the queue.
Li Luokang, the new soldier added to the Erzhu class, graduated from high school. He is from Qingdao, Shandong. He is of medium height and slightly thinner. He is about the same age as Erzhu, both 20 years old. He carries a flute with him, which makes Erzhu feel very unhappy.
"Li Luokang, in this military camp, you are not allowed to bring anything that has nothing to do with fighting. Give your flute to the company for unified management."
Li Luokang argued, "Monitor, the flute is my personal belongings and a token given to me by my girlfriend. You have no right to confiscate it."
Unexpectedly, Li Luokang dared to talk back. Erzhuzi decided to teach Li Luokang a lesson with the authority of the squad leader, and said loudly, "There is no right or power. This is a battlefield, not a school classroom. All actions are subject to command, don't you know."
Liu Santang came over, patted Er Zhuzi on the shoulder and said, "Third squad leader, you are right to follow the command in all actions, but you must also respect the hobbies of the soldiers. I think this flute is very good. I will play it for everyone during the battle."
A few songs can enrich the spare time life of brothers. We can't always fight and fight."
Liu Santang took Li Luokang's flute and saw a line of small red characters engraved on it. The font was beautiful and it looked like a girl's font - protect the family and the country and defeat the ambitious wolf of American imperialism. Liu Santang returned the flute to Li Luokang and encouraged him, "
Li Luokang, take your flute with you. You may have the opportunity to play some tunes for everyone. However, it cannot affect the battle. During the battle, you must obey the command of the squad leader."
Hadajiang's Class 1 was severely attrited. Three heart warriors were added this time, leaving the class with only six people. Hadajiang gathered the soldiers in the class and asked, "What will we do if we face the enemy face to face?"
New soldier Ye Yunlang replied, "When you are face to face with the enemy, you must rush forward bravely. The brave one will win when you meet on a narrow road." Ye Yunlang is from Hebei. He is short and 21 years old. He has been a militiaman for several years and has some battlefield experience.
Ha Dajiang laughed and said, "Brother, when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. It is a kind of fighting spirit, not a tactical skill. The US military uses submachine guns and assault rifles, which have strong firepower and fast firing rate. If you rush towards the US military, it will be a success."
If you are a living target, you should do this.”
Hadajiang's eloquence was average. He could make some tactical moves but couldn't explain them. He grabbed the gun with his right hand, suddenly threw it sideways, threw himself to the ground, then rolled on the spot, suddenly jumped up, knelt down on one knee, and picked up the M1
Assault rifle, maintain the shooting posture and say, "Brothers, do you see clearly? This is the most basic action. Everyone should follow my action and do it five times."
"Also, when I charge, everyone follows me. You do what I do. When encountering a bombing by a US military plane, your first reaction is to lie down on the spot. Don't run around. Remember this!"
Ha Dajiang explained to the new soldiers in the class that the squad leader is both a commander and a coach, and is the first teacher for the growth of the soldiers.
The weather was getting colder and the Qingchuan River was frozen. The river in this area was wider, more than 400 meters. Feng Ren stood on the shore and looked at it with a telescope for a while. He turned around and said, "The strength of the US military has not changed. It is about two
The most troublesome thing about the company's strength is that there are two armored vehicles, which are difficult to deal with."
The Ninth Company received the order and immediately captured the east side of the Qingchuan River Bridge. To ensure that the large forces passed the Qingchuan River Bridge on time and not launch a new offensive, Feng Ren, Cheng Min, and Liu Santang gathered the platoon leaders of each platoon, and Lu Chen was on the river.
