Chapter 10.
The second round of artillery fire from the ghosts came quickly ……
The position was instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Burning barbaric shells.
In order to retaliate, the ghosts actually used the cruel and incomparable Burning Barbaric Bomb, for a time, the position was filled with screams, and the smell of burnt corpses filled the entire battlefield, which made people unable to resist nausea.
Xiaomagou – Inside the 1st Battalion Command Post.
“How are the casualties of the 1st Company?” Yang Ruifu inquired with a worried face.
“Reporting to Battalion Commander, First Company has just lost nineteen men in action, more than thirty wounded, and more than half of them are still able to fight!” The battalion staff quickly reported back to 1st Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu.
“What about the Japanese army?”
“It’s not clear yet, but the first company commander reported that a soldier in the third platoon shot more than twenty ghosts alone ……”
“One man shot more than twenty people and didn’t lie about his battle performance?” Yang Ruifu was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
“No, many people on the position have seen it, the number of people shot is only a little more.” Battalion staff officer said, “they themselves look silly, do not know how that soldier did, anyway, one shot, one life, the ghosts directly scared directly retreated, we were able to comfortably cope with the ghosts of the second round of artillery fire, otherwise a company this time more than half of the casualties are light!”
“Who is this soldier, I want to see him, immediately!” Yang Ruifu ordered, this is an excellent object of publicity, not only can claim credit, but also enhance morale.
There is a capable person under his own hand.
At this time, the ghosts began to attack again!
The battle was extremely fierce.
This time, the devils actually sent an entire squadron, under the command of a second lieutenant, to launch a wave-like charge against the position held by the 1st Battalion’s 1st Company.
Perhaps stimulated by the actually casualty figures of the last failed attack, this time, the ghost frontline commander actually spared no expense to take the position where the 1st Company was located, and played in an unusually ferocious manner.
This time the artillery preparation is even more violent than the last time, only three minutes, smashed down the artillery shells are comparable to the first round of shelling ten minutes number, moreover, also joined the heavy artillery.
Every gun down, the land underneath has a strong sense of vibration, the first battalion’s position from a thousand holes was almost cradled into a flat ground, hard work dug trenches and construction of various bunkers, fire points, a round of shelling down almost all to the destruction.
The ghosts seem to have moved the real fire, is bound to want to the first battalion where the Maojiazhai position will be captured, break through the right flank of the national army position, to achieve the purpose of the detour attack on the Shanghai North Railway Station.
Once the station is captured, it is the same as cutting off the transportation lifeline of the rear assistance, soldiers, food and ammunition can not be transported to the front line, how can this battle not be fought?
The ultimate goal of all Japanese attacks in Zhabei is the North Station.
Although Cheng Mo had awakened a special skill that could slow down the trajectory of artillery shells and bullets in his eyes, and could predict where the bullets and artillery shells were going to land, this ability to predict had its limitations; he could only ensure that he or those near him would be able to dodge under the reminder, and beyond a certain distance, unless there was a means of instantaneous communication, he could not be able to sense the entire battlefield situation.
Under his reminder, the battlefield survival rate of the two squads of the third platoon had almost reached over ninety percent.
As for the other squads and platoons, some of them had already suffered more than half of the battlefield losses, and even seventy percent of them, and this round of attacking the first company was completely knocked out of the battlefield.
Although the top of the attack, hold the position, but also pay an extremely heavy price, alive to withdraw from the people, only less than thirty people.
And the third platoon actually accounted for a small half.
The little devil this is also too ruthless!
Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu’s heart is aching for blood, but also with unbelievable eyes looking at Wu Jianfeng, Cheng Mo and others who withdrew from the position.
A platoon, actually survived more than half of them, not counting the sacrifices, survived actually all the whiskers and eyes.
The most exaggerated thing, they also from the battlefield captured the crooked machine gun two, two barrels, mortar a door, and dozens of three eight dagai …….
Who can tell him how this group did it?
“Report battalion seat, luck, our platoon luck is better, just now when the ghosts shelling, also do not know what is going on, we guarded that section of the child has almost thirty meters wide area actually did not have a few shells fell down …… “Wu Jianfeng and Cheng Mo has long been unified Caliber, some things can not be explained clearly, it would be better not to explain.
I believe you a ghost!
First Battalion Commander Yang Ruifu almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood out of his mouth.
“Didn’t you say that your third platoon has a soldier who shot more than twenty ghosts, which brother is it, stand out and let me see?”
Cheng Mo also knew that he had overplayed his hand for a while, and became that most beautiful boy on the battlefield, this meritorious achievement is rewarded, for a soldier, it is absolutely an honorable thing, but relatively speaking, it is also easy to be targeted by the enemy.
Especially this party state’s sense of secrecy, and then a grand propaganda report, by then, their own people may not recognize, the ghosts are the first to grasp.
For the sake of a small life, but also for their own mission and future.
“Reporting to the battalion commander, the person who shot the ghost is not a soldier of our battalion, he is a supernumerary.” Wu Jianfeng shouted.
“What, not from our battalion?” Yang Ruifu was even more surprised, this was a white-knuckle delight.
“Battalion Commander, it’s better to let him speak for himself.” Wu Jianfeng squeezed his eyes at Cheng Mo, his eloquence was limited, no matter what, he couldn’t tell the flowers.
“Hello Battalion Commander Yang, my name is Cheng Mo, I’m a Salt Bank stayed behind at the Four Row Warehouse staff, I’m not affiliated with your ministry, but I’m temporarily joining your ministry to fight the devils.” Cheng Mo briefly introduced himself.
“Cheng Mo, is that the one who was called away by the brigade headquarters last night?” Yang Ruifu was somewhat impressed.
“Reporting to Battalion Commander Yang, I just went to the brigade headquarters to run an errand, that’s all.” Cheng Mo calmly explained with a cry.
“The second round of Japanese attack in front, is it that you shot more than two dozen in one breath to kill ……,” Yang Ruifu twisted his head to look at the staff officer behind him.
“Battalion seat, is twenty-six ghosts, which there is also a Japanese second lieutenant.” Wu Jianfeng hurriedly echoed.
“Yes, twenty-six, and a Japanese second lieutenant!” Yang Ruifu repeated.
“Battalion Commander Yang, it’s actually not that many, it’s probably because they counted the number they shot on my head ……,” Cheng Mo glanced behind him at Wu Jianfeng and the others.
“That Japanese second lieutenant was shot by you, right?”
Cheng Mo hesitated and nodded, “This seems like it should be.”
“Cheng Mo, you’re such a great shot, a natural born soldier, stay in the first battalion and work with brother me, I’ll let you be the squad leader first, no, platoon leader, what do you think?” Yang Ruifu took two steps forward and came up to Cheng Mo, a face smiling like a flower, and said enthusiastically.
“Battalion Commander Yang, I have no place to go because the four rows of warehouses have been requisitioned, when the war is over, I still have to go back to work!”
“What’s so great about that job of yours, how much does the Salt Bank pay you a month?”
“Twenty-five dollars, bonuses are separate.” Cheng Mo hesitated and said, “Brigadier Peng is poor and stingy, can you still give me money?
Yang Ruifu embarrassed cough up, German armament division platoon commander is basically the rank of second lieutenant, second lieutenant every month rated military pay is 32 dollars, in fact, it is impossible to pay the full amount, only wartime can take double pay, usually can send a 70% has burned high incense.
Even if he is the battalion commander, without additional income, the year-end is less than a thousand dollars, the battalion commander is a major, the fixed salary is 80 French dollars a month.
When soldiers fight, not to mention the danger, but also very hard, the salary is not high, how to compare to the bank work, easy and high pay, fools know how to choose.
“Cheng Mo, right now is a time of national crisis, as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, shouldn’t you join the army and kill the enemy to serve the country?” Yang Ruifu said with great righteousness.
“If everyone becomes a soldier, then we can fight off the Japanese, then we don’t have to work so hard, anti-Japanese, is to unite the strength of the whole nation, twisted into a rope, strength to one place, all walks of life as long as they don’t succumb to the lustful power of the Japanese invaders, don’t bully their own compatriots, don’t fight civil wars, don’t be traitors, and work hard to do their own thing, that’s contributing to the war against the war, Battalion Commander Yang. Do you think I’m right?” Cheng Mo replied slowly and methodically.
Following the Kuomintang and being whisked away by the devils like a lost dog, it would be better to find an organization and go behind enemy lines to fight guerrilla.
He had crossed back with great difficulty, how to choose the road is still unknown?
Cheng Mo made up his mind, the national army in Shanghai, he will follow along to fight the ghosts, once the withdrawal, then forgive me.
“In a word, follow me to do, how you want to fight, okay?” Yang Ruifu is out of ideas, this guy is not into oil and salt.
“Yes, but after this battle, you have to let me go!”
“Deal!”
