Chapter 43 Chapter 9 Bloody Sun (2)

Long Muhan said: Gui Yongqing assured me that he would explain all this clearly to the principal. Army Commander Song was silent for a long time, then nodded and sighed: This is exactly where Gui Yongqing is so clever.If you win this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to return to my 71st Army. Long Muhan finally realized that the officialdom is as deep as the sea, and no one can control his own destiny, just like you cannot decide your own life or death.He stood up, bowed deeply to the former officer and said: Commander Song, now I, Long, have no choice but to die and survive... Fight to the death, fight the enemy bravely, if you fail, you will be benevolent.

3 The battle to recover Lanfeng started in full swing. Gao Jingyuan, the new platoon leader, was ordered to serve as the death captain. His task was to attack the outer positions of Lanfeng Railway Station and remove obstacles for the main force to get through the Longhai Railway.The Death Squad is today's Death Squad. It is composed of veterans who are quick-witted and rich in combat experience. In addition to being equipped with rifles and grenades, a prominent symbol is that everyone carries a sharp sword that makes the enemy terrified. The enemies surrounded by our army put on a posture of standing firm and waiting for help. They used various buildings and houses to set up firepower points, rushed to repair the bunker fortifications overnight, and tried to turn Lanfeng City into an indestructible steel fortress.The Japanese army is still building a series of defensive bunkers at the railway crossing at Lanfeng Railway Station, which has become a stumbling block to prevent our army from advancing.

After fire reconnaissance, the platoon leader Gao discovered that the bunker group was not only equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and grenades, but also received artillery support from the enemy in the city. It is not difficult to imagine how cruel and unprecedented this offensive battle will be. On the eve of the war, the people in eastern Henan took the initiative to reward the troops with pigs and sheep, encouraging officers and soldiers to fight the enemy bravely and regain the country.The superior prepares a sumptuous meal for the death squad, also known as the "strong meal", which shows the heroic courage and determination of the brave men who will never return.But this day, the platoon leader Gao just picked up the wine bowl when he saw the division commander Long Muhan coming straight to the position, and he was startled and spilled the wine on the ground.

Usually, senior generals will not easily go deep into the forward positions in broad daylight, because the enemy snipers are very active, and if they fail, they will cause irreparable losses.Master Long went straight to the team members, Gao Jingyuan quickly touched his heel, and loudly reported his name and position.Master Long obviously still remembered the little platoon leader who destroyed the enemy's tank. He asked: Is the death squad ready? Answer: The preparation is complete, please check with the chief. Commander: Do you understand your mission? Answer: Destroy the enemy's strongholds and open up the way forward for the main force.

Master Long nodded in satisfaction. He pointed to the Lanfeng Railway Station hidden in the faint mist and said: The Death Squad is the sharp knife of my 88th Division. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. In the words of the ancients, it is like a tiger with wings added. It was only then that people discovered that there was a group of silent fire-breathing soldiers accompanying Master Long. They were holding a strange black guy that looked like an iron pipe. It turned out that this foreign-produced flame-breathing gun was an advanced weapon for dealing with enemy bunkers. and buster.

Master Long picked up the wine bowl and drank it down. He shattered the wine bowl and said: I came here to tell the soldiers that Generalissimo Jiang issued a death order to open up the Longhai Railway and destroy the Doihara Division... Listen, I will stand in the front line to oversee the battle. I will not win this battle. I, Long Muhan, are just like you, even if I am shrouded in horse leather.The brigade and regiment leaders also fight together with the troops. They are only allowed to advance and not to retreat. Those who violate the order will do so according to the military law! As soon as the battle started, it was extremely fierce. Cannons slammed, light and heavy machine guns fired, the captain took the lead in the charge, and the desperate team members fought the enemy bravely.In the past, the Chinese army's firepower was weak, especially the weapons for attacking fortifications. Once the enemy's fortifications were strong, there was nothing they could do, even if they were numerous.But this time was different. The superior artillery fire of the Chinese army suppressed the enemy for the first time, which greatly weakened the enemy's fire resistance. In addition, the flamethrower was very effective. The long fire dragon shot out unexpectedly, burning down several enemy bunkers one after another.The morale of the daredevil team was greatly boosted, and they were about to break through the enemy's position. At this time, the company commander rushed forward.The company commander was a Cantonese. He brandished a pistol and charged at the leader of the platoon, yelling: You are limited to half a seat (hour) to destroy the enemy. After the time, you go to be a soldier, and I will be the death captain.

Gao Jingyuan didn't understand, he asked strangely: Even if I am a soldier, you are still the company commander. The company commander said: Why the hell do you not understand human language?The head of the regiment limits me for one hour, and I limit you for half an hour. After the time, you and I have to serve as soldiers. On the battlefield, no one doubts that the commander's order is just a threat, and the key to war is to bet on life and turn everything impossible into reality.The high platoon leader who had no way out went all out and led the death squad to attack the enemy's position. After fierce hand-to-hand combat, the stubborn Japanese devils were all wiped out.The 88th Division cleared the outer obstacles of the railway, cut off the connection between the railway station and the county seat, and separated and isolated the enemies in the station.

On the eve of the battle, the company commander was unfortunately shot in the head by an enemy sniper and died.The division commander announced that Gao Jingyuan would be promoted to the company commander, and he would report to the military headquarters to record a great service, and each person in the company would be rewarded with one month's military salary. The blood-red sunset gradually sank into the horizon, and both sides were exhausted.
