Undoubtedly, the battlefield is the place where strong emotions are most likely to breed. If it weren't for this damn war, Wang Laohu would still be the King of the Mountain in Bawang Mountain, and Du Dickson might be sitting in an office building in the United States. Well-dressed white-collar workers, there is nothing more wonderful than this. Two people who were completely unrelated to each other were now sitting face to face, just like friends, discussing the pros and cons of Sino-American tobacco.
Europeans and Americans like to smoke strong cigarettes, and their favorite is cigars, while soldiers like to smoke swords with a refreshing fragrance. Of course, because not everyone can eat enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry, so they usually The one that drew the most was the Great Wall.
The US military and the Xuebing Army have many similarities in many aspects, such as the emphasis on weapons and equipment, the emphasis on logistics, and the emphasis on humanized management. The US military has always been this way, similar to the tradition. The Xuebing Army is the Chinese army. The alternative in China is unique in China and even in Asia as a whole. This subverts Americans' understanding of the Chinese military, which leads to the following dialogue between Du Disheng and Wang Laohu,
"I still like to smoke Cuban cigars, but this one is too light."
"Be content, our Commander-in-Chief smokes this too. Let me tell you, just one pack of cigarettes is enough for a family in Guangzhou for a week. Damn it, you are so picky after smoking my cigarettes." Four, let me tell you clearly, if this wasn’t a special supply for the expedition, I wouldn’t be willing to buy this cigarette.”
"Your Xuebingjun's treatment is pretty good."
"Of course, an ordinary soldier only gets five yuan a month, plus combat allowances, bonuses, etc., let me tell you, as long as you have the ability to stay on the front line for a full year without dying, you will earn enough money to last a lifetime. "
"Where do you Xuebingjun get so much money?"
"I don't know. Anyway, that's how we got it, and we started to have sex. I won't say more."
Gu Daping's educational level was not high, and all he knew was learned in night school, but this did not prevent him from becoming an excellent artillery commander. The artillery force of the US Army in the Philippines was established, with an artillery brigade under the jurisdiction of two artillery pieces. Regiment, one of them showed up at the beginning of this battle. Sharp originally insisted that in order to ensure that all resources were put to good use, his people should conduct front-line dispatching, but Xiao Anbao rejected it in the name of the front-line commander.
When the first test-fired artillery shell landed on the coast behind the Japanese formation and exploded, Sharp frowned and said, "This is a bit ridiculous."
Xiao Anbao was unmoved and said calmly: "The test firing has just started. What's the rush?"
There was a reason why Gu Daping was conservative when providing shooting parameters. He did not want the fifty or sixty soldiers who were still holding on in front to be hit by his own artillery. Therefore, the accuracy of the next salvo was There was a significant improvement immediately. More than ten artillery shells smashed into the center of the Japanese army. In the earth-shattering explosion, dozens of Japanese were instantly engulfed by fireworks, and several more Japanese were thrown up by the air waves. Japanese-style howls. The sound finally sounded on the battlefield,
"Good job." Sharp shouted, pumping his fist with his left hand.
Xiao Anbao put down his telescope and looked up at the sky. He saw six Japanese planes ending their circle and flying towards the east. He breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Let the artillery regiment speed up the firing rate. Don't let any of these three thousand Japanese soldiers escape."
In the regiment's open-air headquarters, Du Dickson watched the explosion scene caused by the artillery bombardment intently, and said excitedly: "The boys in the artillery brigade did a good job."
Wang Laohu stood up, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Give the order, get ready for a counterattack."
Du Disheng was startled and questioned: "But the bombardment hasn't stopped yet."
Wang Laohu pointed towards the six Type 99 warships flying towards the east and said, "It won't be long."
The communications staff officer beside him suddenly handed over the microphone and said: "Commissioner, Brigadier, I'm talking to you." He took it and said: "Commissioner, I am Tiger."
Xiao Anbao: "Tiger, I order you to be ready to attack. I have only one request. You cannot let a single Japanese go."
"Yes." After hanging up the phone, Wang Laohu said to Du Disheng in a murderous manner: "Lao Du, let your people get ready. The commander-in-chief asked us to wipe out these Japs. Your people can't hold me back. "
Du Disheng was angry: "Why are my people holding you back, you..."
Wang Laohu glared at him fiercely and said rudely: "Why, because of your embarrassing performance before, please send the order quickly."
In an air-raid shelter whose entrance was blown down, Captain Cole was holding an M1918A1 Browning light machine gun and wiping it slowly. Suddenly, Quan Haosheng in front of him stood up with a loud noise, raised his muzzle and shouted: " Brothers, prepare to attack."
There are a total of eleven student soldiers, nineteen Filipino soldiers, and fourteen American soldiers hidden in this cave. In terms of job titles, Cole should have been the biggest, but because of the poor performance of his subordinates and Du Disheng's damn order, It's just that the sergeant's eagerness to win has become the most authoritative. Now he is actually in command.
The students stood up immediately and turned on the safety of the gun, while the Filipino soldiers and the American soldiers looked at Cole, who had a bruised nose and swollen eyes, looking hesitant.
Seeing this, Quan Haosheng also looked at Cole,
Because of the issue of command, Cole once had a fight with Quan Haosheng. What made him extremely depressed was that he couldn't defeat Quan Haosheng, who was a head shorter than him. He failed to win the command and instead fought in vain. humiliation,
The competitive look in Quan Quan's eyes made him uncomfortable. Cole yelled angrily at the men who were looking at him: "Look at what I'm doing. The Chinese are your commanders now. If you don't want to die, just listen to him." Then. He pulled the trigger and stood up holding the Browning light machine gun.
A cold light flashed in Quan Haosheng's eyes, and he shouted: "I have heard clearly the order of King Tuanzuo, not a single Japs should be spared."
A soldier who knew English helped him translate it. All the Filipino and American soldiers, including Cole, were startled at first, then couldn't help but straighten their chests and shouted: "Understood."
"If there's a fight, follow your team leader, and follow the one who loses, and take shit."
"yes."
The sound of artillery became sparse when dull explosions were heard in the distance. Six Type 99 warships flew in the direction of the artillery shells and soon found the direction of the defenders' artillery regiment. At this time , the US artillery showed their fierce side. When the Japanese planes started bombing, they gritted their teeth and kept firing until the entire army was annihilated.
Only when the explosions on the position became sparse did Wang Laohu give the order to charge, and the "tick-tick" charge bugle sounded. The remaining dozen or so cadets in front of the position took the lead in launching a counterattack, and then rushed out from various air-raid shelters. The student soldiers, American soldiers, and Filipino soldiers quickly formed multiple attack arrows and rushed towards the Japanese army that was still struggling under the artillery fire.
A military flag of the Xuebing Army was flying high, "Charge", and the shouts of "kill" were heard loudly. An hour and a half after the battle started, the defenders launched another counterattack.
