my bright sword career

Chapter 733 All-round counterattack
At six o'clock in the morning, before the rising sun had dispersed the ancient morning fog, the rumble of cannons tore through the quiet morning.

In Tonggu City, which has not yet been completely destroyed by shells, soldiers from the 200th Division of the Expeditionary Force and the Liantai Militia Corps in khaki and iron-gray military uniforms can be seen everywhere.

Smoke rose from the ruined walls, and the shouts of soldiers and the voices of Burmese women could be heard from time to time.

The brutal street fighting in Tonggu has been going on for more than 20 days, and both the Chinese army and the 56th Division are exhausted.

According to yesterday's latest statistics, the 200 Division, which has a standard full strength of just over 6000, now has less than [-] people who can hold a gun. Coupled with the three infantry battalions and an artillery battalion reinforced by the Liantai Militia, the number of the expeditionary force is also reduced. Just over [-] people.

As for the Japanese army, the 55th Division was originally in a much worse situation. Now there are no more people who can still hold a gun to form an infantry regiment.

As the saying goes, feng shui turns in turns, one ebbs and another, and now it is the turn of the Huaxia people to counterattack.

Outside several houses in the city that were not completely destroyed by shells, stood a few soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding guns on guard. This was the residence of the Liantai militia who came to reinforce them.

Burmese women unwilling to flee their homes would ogle the soldiers as they passed by.

After more than half a month of brief contact, these Burmese women found that unlike those beast-like Japanese soldiers, these Chinese soldiers have much better military discipline than the Japanese. If they sleep with them, they can also get food or a small amount of money. Be welcomed by those Burmese women.

Compared with those soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms, those Chinese soldiers wearing gray military uniforms were more generous, giving them more food and money, and even cigarettes, candies, biscuits and other items.

The dilapidated room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. I don't know who got a box of liquor last night, so the entire platoon of soldiers spent one night to dry up the box of liquor.

Although drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited in the battlefield according to the military order, even the iron man needs to relax after fighting here for more than half a month.

After all, soldiers are not machines. In the face of bloodshed, injury, and death, no matter how strong their nerves are, they can't bear it. If they are forced to use military discipline to restrain soldiers at this time, it may lead to bad consequences. clear.

Zou Tieshan, who had just emerged from his sleeping bag, burped from wine and looked around the room with sleepy eyes. The Burmese woman from last night was no longer there. There were only a few soldiers wearing carrying gear in the room.

Seeing these soldiers, Zou Tieshan suddenly had a bad feeling.

He touched his pocket, and sure enough, the military pay just issued this month plus the six yuan wartime allowance left only three yuan.

"Fuck...that bitch took away three oceans from me, damn it!

A superior soldier who had already packed up his equipment patted the annoyed Zou Tieshan on the shoulder. He gloated and walked out of the house with his lunch box. At the same time, he joked: "I warned you a long time ago that those Burmese women have unclean hands and feet, but you kid I just don’t have a long memory, so go eat quickly!”

Although most of the Burmese women in this period had rough and dark skin, and the two sides did not understand the language, they knew how to serve men and generally would not refuse men's requests. The most important thing was that they were very easy to use.

Because of this, even if there are disciplinary regulations, the soldiers still happily pursue these women, and of course they cannot avoid the temptation of money.

There was a rush of footsteps on the street, and soon Wang Jiyong, the commander of the first battalion and the first company, strode over with a communications soldier.

Wang Jiyong summoned all the soldiers of the company together and said loudly: "Brothers, Deputy Commander Wu has just issued an order. In half an hour we will cooperate with the brothers of the 200th Division to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese.

The purpose of this counterattack is to resolutely and thoroughly drive the 56th Division out of Tonggu City, or even keep them here. Do you understand? "

"Understood!" A neat reply came from the street.

But there are also different voices.

"Company Commander, we have almost more people than the 200 Division in Tonggu City now. Why should we cooperate with them? It should be the other way around, right?"

Wang Jiyong followed the sound and immediately locked his eyes on one person. "Zou Tieshan, are you a pig-headed kid?"

Wang Ji had the courage to move and kicked him.

"Your boy is also a person who has been in a private school for two years, do you know the word "extraordinary?"

Why...just because this is what people deserve.

Don't forget, more than 200 brothers from the 6000th Division fell here. Just because of this, we have to cooperate with them. Do you understand? "

"I understand, company commander." Zou Tieshan was not really a fool, he was just quick-talking.

"Okay, you kid, don't be stunned."

Wang Jiyong glared at him, and then said: "In view of the fact that one of the squad leaders of the second platoon and the third squad was killed and a wealthy businessman, the position of squad leader of the third squad is now taken by you.

After the suggestion of the company commander, the regiment commander Wu agreed that your military rank will be promoted to corporal starting today. I hope you will continue to work hard in your new position. "

Zou Tieshan, who was being scolded by the company commander just now, didn't react for a moment. He seemed at a loss and asked hesitantly.

"I...I am the monitor now?"

"nonsense!"

Angry and funny, Wang Jiyong first unbuttoned his shoulders and took off a white-edged V-shaped epaulette from each side.

Then he took out a box from his pocket and took out two epaulettes that were also white but with patterned edges and put them on him.

From now on, Zou Tieshan is a serious corporal, which also means that he can hold the position of squad leader.

"Crash!"

All the soldiers in the company applauded.

Zou Tieshan also grinned and saluted Wang Jiyong.

Being promoted to corporal not only means that his military rank has been promoted, but it also means that his military salary has been increased from two yuan to three yuan per month. If you include the wartime allowance, he will receive nine yuan per month starting from this month.

Looking at the grinning Zou Tieshan, Wang Jiyong patted him on the shoulder in a funny way: "Okay, stop being silly and prepare quickly... the general attack will be launched in two to ten minutes!
You have to remember that you are no longer a top soldier. As a squad leader, you not only have to lead your brothers to eliminate the Japanese, but you also have to keep them alive as much as possible. Do you understand? "

"understand!"

"Okay, let's go...get into the fighting position quickly!"

More than ten minutes later, another whistle sounded in the sky. It was the Second Artillery Battalion that had just arrived a few days ago and was launching an artillery bombardment on the positions occupied by the Japanese army.

The roar of the 105-caliber artillery resounded through Tonggu, accompanied by intensive gunfire. At this time, there was no so-called front and rear, enemy area and our area in Tonggu, and any place could be attacked.
