Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters platoon leader and squad leader
Chapter 853: Platoon Leader and Squad Leader
Liuzi appeared in front of him at some point and shook Yanwei vigorously, but unfortunately, Yanwei couldn't hear any sound except his moving lips.
"Squad leader..." Liu Zi called out again. Yan Wei rubbed his ears vigorously, and then thumped his dull chest twice, and the small voice finally became clearer.
"Squad leader, are you okay?" Liu Zi asked, shaking Yan Wei with concern.
"No, it's okay." At this moment, Yan Wei felt pain all over his body, but luckily he didn't feel red. After waving his hands to comfort Liu Zi, he staggered and climbed into the trench again.
"Call artillery, call artillery. Position No. 1 needs artillery support!" Xiao Ding's voice was clearly audible among the dense gunfire. Hearing his hoarse shout, Yan Wei's mind was suddenly pulled away before he could recover.
Come back.
After grabbing a gun belonging to someone in the trench, he ducked and ran towards another position.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the billowing smoke lingered above the head like the cloak of death. The bullets kept flying around as they rubbed against the edge of the trench, and the exposed skin could even clearly feel the impact of the warhead rubbing against the air.
The burning heat it brings.
Just because the enemy does not appear in sight does not mean that they do not exist. The real battlefield is far from the monotonous and repetitive plots that praise individual heroism. The enemies are also human beings, and they will not stand there stupidly waiting for you to shoot them with machine guns.
Just when Yan Wei was worried about the enemy whose whereabouts were unknown, the artillery fire from the rear finally came up with timely support!
In the sky, accompanied by bright light trails, artillery shells swarmed down from the sky, hitting streaks of black and red smoke at the front of the position. The violent explosion made the entire position look like a small boat on the cusp of the storm.
Continuous explosions shook violently, and in this roar like a fire god, the enemy troops that had been spying in the dark instantly turned into masses of bloody corpses, lying in pieces on the ground that had been burnt by gunpowder smoke.
on land.
The artillery fire did not stop because of the enemy's retreat. On the contrary, it quickly extended forward. The fierce artillery fire made the earth tremble violently. Amidst the roar of the rumbling explosion, the earth seemed like a weak drum surface, and the plants and rocks on the ground were like
The drum surface was like dust, constantly vibrating and jumping with the explosion.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The howitzer hidden in the rear roared continuously. Round after round of shells with bright trails drew a beautiful arc above the head, and exploded with a barrage.
.A bright and white explosion suddenly erupted. Just after the explosion and before the dust settled, the second wave of artillery fire was already approaching.
The earth shook and rocks flew, and the earth once again experienced the baptism of war. The fertile soil was thrown up high, and then fell heavily, completely burying the enemy.
On the enemy's position, the seemingly solid bunker has been shaken by continuous explosions. Cracks have been created. Sand mixed with stone chips and the limbs of dead soldiers continue to fall from the top of the head, beating the surrounding sandbags with a pinging sound. The earth is shaking.
It continuously throws the enemy up and down, while also covering up the enemy's fearful trembling.
Finally, some people could no longer bear the constant threat of death and rushed out of the bunker, shouting like crazy. In the next second, violent artillery fire easily tore them into pieces. Watching the corpses mixed with blood reappear.
Back in the trench, the other soldiers could no longer hide their fear and desperately shrank their bodies into the trench.
The artillery fire continues!
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Wei found his rifle, carefully poked his head out, and used the sight to search for the target on the opposite position. Although he knew that under such fierce artillery fire, his target was impossible.
appeared, but he had to do this.
"For victory" silently chanting in his heart, Yan Wei looked for the goal he had been looking for for a year through the gap between the shell explosions.
"Bang!" The gunshot suddenly rang out——
"Have you ever killed anyone?" Passing by a row that was silently supplying supplies, a veteran suddenly stopped and asked Yan Wei.
Hearing the other party's abrupt question, Yan Wei rolled his eyes at him first, and then continued to press the bullet silently. The other party seemed to like to inquire about everything, and he had no time to pay attention to such a person. Unfortunately, the other party was obviously interested.
I made up my mind to talk to him!
Just as Yan Wei suppressed the bullet, he spoke again: "I killed him before. I was very scared at the time, but afterwards I felt it was very enjoyable."
Yan Wei, who had just gone through the fierce defensive battle, had no desire to speak at all, but when he heard the other party's self-confession, his heart suddenly moved inexplicably, and then he changed his mind and asked: "Why, do you like killing people?
"
"It's not a mental illness. Who really likes killing? But when you witness the other person killing your brother with your own eyes, and he is lucky enough to fall into your hands, then you will redefine the word 'like'." The veteran used and
His face was disproportionately deep and he said to Yan Wei.
"Kill the prisoners..." Yan Wei didn't know how to proceed. He just looked at the other party in shock.
"On the battlefield, fear is useless. If you are afraid, the other party is also afraid. It is human nature to fear death, but this nature cannot solve our current predicament. Not only that, it will also make us die faster. Remember
Hey, for war, it is much better for you to get used to it than to resist it. Oh, I forgot to introduce you, I am your new acting platoon leader, my name is Ban Dafa!"
The veteran did not answer his question, but suddenly stood up and walked in the direction of the company commander.
The enemy's sudden attack made most of the positions temporarily tight, and some positions even fell into the hands of the enemy.
"The enemy's firepower is very fierce. Currently, the only thing that can stop the enemy is the machine guns deployed in the forward positions. However, the losses under the enemy's artillery fire are very serious." The recent artillery attack caused something wrong with the company commander's ears, although at this moment, there were already problems on the position.
He returned to peace, but he still yelled at the phone at the top of his lungs.
Although he felt that the company commander's voice was a bit harsh, Yan Wei remained silent. The previous battle was obviously beyond his imagination.
Within an hour, there were only a few people left in his platoon who could walk and jump, and three of the four machine gun positions deployed at the forward position before the battle were shot down.
Compared with others in the class, Yan Wei found that he was the calmest now, and even he was afraid of his own calmness. In the face of the harsh reality, after just resting for a while, he picked up the engineering shovel again and started digging with all his strength.
This trench is your own.
Yan Wei admitted that he was afraid of death. He didn't believe it at all, and he didn't even expect that he could become a hero. Especially after reaching the battlefield, his only hope was to survive, even if he lived for one more minute, it would be good.
He extravagantly hoped that he could return to his country intact, go home intact, see his parents intact, find a wife, get married and have children, then happily worry about the trivial matters of life with them, and finally live and die smoothly.
But to do all this, the only way out is to survive and survive on the battlefield where there is a near-death situation.
You can't surrender to the enemy, you can't betray your friends, you can't run away! This is the bottom line Yan Wei has set for himself. Apart from that, he feels there is nothing to worry about.
The trenches need to be deeper, the air-raid shelters need to be reinforced, and there are too few ammunition that need to be replenished. While others are resting, Yan Wei silently exhausted himself to death, and all this is just to satisfy the simplest needs.
requirements to survive.
"Did you dig it?" While Yan Wei was working hard to dig the trench, veteran Ban Dafa, oh no, acting platoon leader Ban Dafa appeared behind him again and asked approvingly.
"Yeah!" Hearing the other party's inquiry, Yan Wei nodded slightly and then continued his work.
"It looks quite qualified, but I guess I won't need it today. There will be some action in the company soon!" After gently patting his shoulder that was soaked with sweat, the other party said again.
"Action, what action?" Hearing Ban Dafa's words, Yan Wei asked curiously. He is just a soldier, what does the company's actions have to do with him.
"The attacking troops will soon retake the lost positions. In order to cooperate, we will launch a counterattack here." Upon hearing Yan Wei's inquiry, Ban Dafa was silent for a moment, and then whispered.
Phew, Ban Dafa's originally friendly image was instantly shattered in Yan Wei's heart. Throwing away the shovel in his hand, Yan Wei sat down helplessly.
"Why, why should we go?" Yan Wei asked in a low voice after being silent for a while.
"Why? Because we are soldiers! We are the last barrier of the country!" The reply came in a shocking and majestic voice. Upon hearing this reply, Yan Wei was speechless.
An order is an order, and there is no room for hesitation or discount. Although many people were reluctant, the order to countercharge was still thoroughly implemented.
The sun, which seemed lifeless under the fog, finally gradually sank into the jungle, and its lazy rays of light became strange under the refraction of the fog and gunpowder smoke.
On the battlefield at this moment, against the backdrop of this strange light, Yan Wei and others were ready, waiting for the attack order that might be issued at any time.
"Have you seen a pack of wolves?" Ban Dafa seemed to be very interested in Yan Wei. In this rare free moment before the war, he approached Yan Wei and whispered:
"My home is in the northwest, and that's where I first served. Do you know what to do if you encounter a pack of wolves?"
Yan Wei was very surprised why Ban Dafa suddenly talked about this matter. For a while, he couldn't change his mind at all. "If you meet a wolf? Then you must run." Out of respect for the new platoon leader, Yan Wei replied absently.
.
"Haha, run, then you will die quickly." Hearing Yan Wei's answer, Ban Dafa laughed unbridled: "If you meet a pack of wolves, the only way is to beat them until they are afraid of death.
If you want to escape, your two legs can't run as fast as your four legs."
Wolves? Are wolves afraid of death? In Yan Wei's impression, wolves always look fierce and unafraid of death. What Ban Dafa said about beating wolves until they are afraid of death is completely beyond his comprehension!
