Another shell landed not far from the two of them, and the huge air wave immediately knocked Ye Xiaoxian to the ground.
"Deputy Ye Platoon, leave quickly!" Deng Baoguang said weakly, "This is not the 92nd Infantry Artillery, but the 105th Mountain Artillery. The main force of the kid's division and the mountain artillery unit are coming up. If you don't leave, you will have to explain yourself here.
."
"Platoon leader, believe me!" Ye Xiaoxian took Deng Baoguang's arm again and struggled to carry him up, while saying in an extremely firm tone, "I can do it, I will definitely be able to carry you back!"
"Put me down." Deng Baoguang said weakly, "I order you, let me down!"
It's not that Deng Baoguang doesn't want to live, but as a veteran, he is very aware of the extent of his injuries. His abdomen has been penetrated, and most of his internal organs and intestines have been torn by shell fragments. Such injuries are basically impossible to save.
If you go back, you will only die, and you will end up with Ye Xiaoxian's life in vain.
"Platoon leader, don't think that I can't develop the strength of the Bayonet Battalion just because I joined the Bayonet Battalion. If veterans can do it, so can we recruits!" Ye Xiaoxian walked heavily, but his tone was as hard as iron, "Until now.
, I still remember the exciting words the brigade commander said to all our recruits when they first joined the Baoshan Brigade."
"Don't abandon, don't give up!" Ye Xiaoxian said with unspeakable persistence in his eyes, "I will never abandon my comrades on the battlefield, and you, platoon leader, must never give up hope!"
"Deputy Ye Pai." Deng Baoguang said weakly, "I can't do it anymore, you can't do it."
"Platoon leader, you can do it!" Ye Xiaoxian said, "Believe me, you will be fine."
"Deputy Ye Pai." Deng Baoguang said with a strange tone, "If you don't let me down, I will shoot."
When Ye Xiaoxian looked up anxiously, he saw that Deng Baoguang had raised the flower trap and pointed it at the center of his eyebrows. Ye Xiaoxian suddenly looked miserable and helplessly put Deng Baoguang down. Deng Baoguang smiled sadly and said in a weak tone: "Deputy Ye Pai, you
Don’t you want to know how my old platoon leader died?”
Ye Xiao first shook his head, then nodded silently.
Deng Baoguang sighed and said: "On the Jiangpu battlefield, the old platoon leader was seriously injured by a Japanese cannon while trying to save me. I had to carry him back, but he shot himself. Before he shot, the old platoon leader
Tell me, the guard platoon will be left to you, and now I will forward this sentence to you, Ye Xiaoxian, the guard platoon... will be left to you!"
"Wait a minute." Seeing that Deng Baoguang was really about to shoot, Ye Xiaoxian said urgently, "Platoon leader, look quickly, the Japanese are coming!"
"Japanese? No way, the bombardment hasn't ended yet, why are the Japanese infantry coming up?" Deng Baoguang turned around when he heard the sound, but there was not even a shadow of a ghost behind him.
Ye Xiaoxian took the opportunity to hit Deng Baoguang with a heavy elbow on the back of his neck. Deng Baoguang immediately fainted with a groan. Ye Xiaoxian once again took Deng Baoguang's arm and carried him on his shoulders, while walking back with heavy but firm steps.
While muttering to himself: "Platoon leader, if you can do it, you will be fine!"
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Xiaoxian miraculously returned to the national army position.
With the help of several veterans, the seriously injured Deng Baoguang was quickly carried out of the trench. Some veterans had already turned around and shouted: "Hygienist, where did the stupid health worker die?"
The female hygienist wearing a white coat, pigtails, and carrying a first aid kit rushed up panting. She first measured Deng Baoguang's blood test, then looked at his pupils, and finally briefly checked the wound on his abdomen, and then he felt relieved.
The tone said: "The blood pressure is normal, there is no major bleeding in the abdominal cavity, and there are only two simple penetrating injuries, so the problem is not serious."
The veterans in the guard platoon gave Ye Xiaoxian a thumbs up one after another, and the recruits were even more impressed. Ye Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately slumped to the ground. Deng Baoguang, who was already lying on a stretcher, suddenly stretched out his hand to Ye Xiaoxian.
He said weakly: "Don't give up, don't give up!"
Ye Xiaoxian reached out and held Deng Baoguang's hands tightly, smiling and saying: "Don't abandon, don't give up!"
Never abandon or give up, this is an oath that every recruit must recite when joining the Baoshan Brigade. The recruits do not know the true meaning of these six words, and the veterans cannot say it either.
But just now, Ye Xiaoxian understood that this was not a verbal oath, but a trust that was woven into the bones!
No one will abandon their comrades at any time, and no one will give up hope at any time.
Ye Xiaoxian did it. Even in the most desperate and difficult time, even with artillery fire and shrapnel flying all around, he never thought of abandoning Deng Baoguang on the battlefield and fleeing alone. It was from that moment on that Ye Xiaoxian
He truly integrated into the collective of Bayonet Battalion and truly developed the strong bones of Bayonet Battalion.
…
Half an hour later, the Japanese army's large-scale shelling stopped, and only sporadic shelling was extending towards the rear.
The officers and soldiers of the guard platoon got out of the artillery holes one after another and began to enter the foxholes at the front of the position. Before the replacement troops of the 3rd company came up, the guard platoon had to be nailed here like nails.
Ye Xiao calmly pressed the magazine into the magazine, then turned over and lay down behind the trench.
Through the billowing smoke and flying dust, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers could be seen slowly approaching in a dense infantry formation. In front of the skirmishing formation of the Japanese infantry, there were two huge black monsters.
, although it was still several hundred meters away, the roar of the huge engine could already be clearly heard.
Obviously, this should be a Japanese tank.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxian no longer felt nervous at all.
At this time, Ye Xiaoxian has initially completed the transformation from a recruit to a veteran. Although in terms of experience and skills, Ye Xiaoxian is still just a recruit. For example, he cannot roughly judge the impact point of the artillery shell from the whistle of the artillery shell, let alone the sound of the artillery shell.
Differentiate the type and distance of the shells, but psychologically he has begun to move closer to the veteran.
Suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out from the front of the position. It was the vanguard of the security position firing a warning shot.
The Japanese infantry advancing in a dense formation quickly spread out towards the two wings and turned into an offensive skirmish formation. The two Type 95 light tanks responsible for covering and guiding the rear also quickly began to adjust the firing angle of the main gun.
Just hearing two loud bangs, the two fortifications at the forefront of the national army's position suddenly turned into ruins, and the four vanguard soldiers hiding in the fortifications instantly turned into two names on the monument to the heroes!
The Japanese army barely entered the range of the machine gun, and the light and heavy machine guns on the national army's position suddenly rang out!
The Japanese army did not show weakness. They immediately got down on the ground and started shooting at the National Army. At the same time, they also summoned grenade launchers to counter the National Army's machine guns. Four light tanks even fired unscrupulously while advancing rapidly. It was a great move.
After crushing the national army's position, in less than a moment, they were forty to fifty meters away from the following infantry.
Ye Xiaoxian, who had officially performed his duties as platoon leader, immediately turned around and shouted: "Pedator, step up!"
Two more vanguard soldiers stood up in response, jumped out of the trench holding explosive packets, and rushed towards the Japanese tanks.
"Fire cover!" Ye Xiaoxian immediately stood up, holding a submachine gun and fired fiercely forward. All the officers and soldiers in the guard platoon also stood up, holding submachine guns and fired fiercely at the Japanese army. Nearly a hundred submachine guns fired at the same time, and the intensive firepower immediately hit the follow-up
The Japanese infantry who followed could not raise their heads.
The vanguard holding the explosive pack took the opportunity to rush in quickly.
In less than a moment, the two vanguards had already rushed to the front of the Japanese tank. One of the vanguards stuffed the explosive package onto the track of the tank and pulled the fuse again. With a loud bang, the tank collapsed.
, but the other vanguard failed to complete his mission. Before he could pull off the explosive pack, he was shot dead by the Japanese soldiers who followed behind.
Ye Xiaoxian punched his fist bitterly, and when he was about to send people to bomb it again, the Japanese tank turned around and withdrew.
As soon as the tanks withdrew, the Japanese infantry who followed them also withdrew. In less than a moment, the Japanese soldiers in front of the position withdrew completely, not even a guard post was left. An experienced veteran immediately
Reminded Ye Xiaoxian: "Deputy Ye Pai, the little devil failed to attack twice, so he will probably use poison gas bombs!"
"Poison gas bomb?" Ye Xiaoxian was shocked and immediately ordered, "Order, everyone wear gas masks!"
Since the Japanese army widely used poison gas bombs on the battlefield, gas masks have become the most urgently needed equipment for the national army. Unfortunately, with the poor industrial base of the Nationalist government, even gas masks cannot be mass-produced. Therefore,
Only elite troops can be supplied in small quantities, but fortunately the Baoshan Brigade is also among the priority.
Sure enough, as soon as the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon put on their gas masks, a strange scream of artillery shells rang out in the sky.
Immediately, artillery shells fell from the sky one after another. Two artillery shells even fell directly into the trench and hit the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon. Immediately, dark brown liquid splashed out from the broken shells, and the two unlucky soldiers suddenly screamed miserably.
He screamed miserably, and when the hygienist arrived in a hurry, he was already covered in blisters and died of anger.
Ye Xiaoxian suddenly felt awe-inspiring. It was obvious that this was not an ordinary smoke bomb, but a mustard gas bomb. Once this thing touched human skin, it would immediately fester all over the body, and cause organ failure and death in a short period of time, and it would vaporize.
Afterwards, inhaling only a small amount is enough to be fatal. It is a chemical weapon strictly prohibited by international conventions!
Soon, a large amount of smoke filled the air from the body of the poison gas bomb.
Almost at the same time, Japanese infantry appeared again in front of the position.
This time, the Japanese soldiers who went into the attack were no longer three or four squads of more than a hundred soldiers, but two squadrons of 300 Japanese soldiers. The number of tanks responsible for cover and guidance in the front also increased to four, and the number on the left and right wings was also increased.
The Japanese army appeared, and about two squadrons of Japanese soldiers divided into two groups to outflank the two wings of the Chinese army's position.
Obviously, the Japanese commander on the opposite side was angered and decided to strike hard.
Ye Xiaoxian was fearless. He suddenly turned around and raised his right fist fiercely towards the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon.
Nearly a hundred officers and soldiers raised their right fists in response. This was the silent oath of all the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon: "We are... the hard bones of the Bayonet Battalion, the hard bones that cannot be broken!"
