"Report to the squadron leader, the group leader ordered: the troops withdraw from the battle, alternate cover and return to yesterday's stationed location, waiting for follow-up troop reinforcements." A messenger ran into the temporary command post to convey the order.
"Understood, please tell the captain: I will gather the remaining soldiers and wait for reinforcements."
……
"Report to the company commander, the enemy has withdrawn along the way. Shall we pursue it?" The observation sentry reported the enemy situation to the company commander who was pulling soldiers buried in the floating soil.
"Continue to monitor the enemy's situation." The first company commander kept working on his hands. While groping for the armpit of the soldier who was half buried in the soil, he slowly dragged it out to check the injury. At the same time, he gave an order to the correspondent who was following him, "Go and command."
So, convey this news to the battalion commander and the others. Tell the soldiers who can still move in this trench to continue to treat their comrades and strengthen the fortifications."
At this time, Wang Chengzhu was accompanying the first company commander to help, and distributed consumables and props to the core trainees for free. Many of these soldiers were members of his artillery platoon, and he had to cultivate a good relationship first. As for what conditions he would use to apply to the original unit
In exchange of talents, Wang Chengzhu is still communicating with the company and platoon commanders.
After two rounds of upward attacks on the forward position, frontline commanders and fighters quickly organized manpower, gathered and transported wounded soldiers and repaired and strengthened temporary fortifications.
When the enemy's attack failed and the news of alternate cover and retreat was sent to the battalion command post, a discussion about staying on standby and sending reserve teams to pursue took place among the battalion and company cadres in the rear.
The first person to express his views was the battalion commander. The fiery Zhang Dabiao lived up to his name: "I advocate sending three companies to pursue them one after another and wait for an opportunity to leave these invaders behind. The brigade commander taught us to adhere to the sixteen-character policy of guerrilla warfare. Now the enemy
The army retreated, so sending troops to pursue it happened to answer the saying: if the enemy retreats, we will pursue him."
The instructor had a different opinion: "The correspondent who came to deliver the message said that the sentry observed the enemy on the road below the mountain, took turns to cover, and retreated in an orderly manner. This kind of enemy cannot be pursued. It is risky to send organized troops to leave the position to pursue. I don't agree with it.
Tailgating."
"What are you afraid of? The enemy's attack was frustrated and their retreat shows that they are afraid. Where did the defeated army get the courage to fight back? Now is the perfect time to catch up."
