The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 587 Brave
The military exercises on the hill continued.

The confrontation between the Eastern Army and the Western Army has reached a critical point.

In the following military exercises, the soldiers of the Eastern Army fully simulated the powerful firepower of the Japanese squadron.

Under the condescending and intensive firepower of the Eastern Army, which represented the Japanese squadron, the war immediately showed its extremely cruel side.

The Western Army, which represented the Eighth Route Army with backward equipment and scarce ammunition, began to suffer casualties.

The exercise referee following the Western Army's offensive camp kept blowing whistles to remind the number of Western Army casualties, and asked the dead soldiers to leave the field immediately and gather at the Western Army's death point.

After the drills that were close to the real battlefield, Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Jinsui Army who were watching the battle on the viewing platform not far away were also filled with emotion.

Chu Yunfei looked a little annoyed, and clenched his fists and said: "The Western Army fought too hard this time. They didn't have the artillery to attack the fortifications. The equipment at hand was too poor and the firepower was insufficient. They just went up wave after wave like this. It is purely a tactic of fueling up, adding casualties in vain."

Originally absorbed by the firepower of the frontal feint attacking troops, the other two wings of the detoured troops may be able to take the Eastern Army's position with the help of a quick surprise attack.

But the Air Force fighters representing the Japanese squadron are not vegetarians either.

Soldiers know all too well how their troops will play in such situations.

At this moment, as a devil, it can be said that he knows himself and the enemy.

Therefore, at the moment when the frontal feint attacking troops appeared, the commanding company commander of the Eastern Army realized that the Western Army might be hiding troops that made a roundabout attack.

The company commander of the Eastern Army immediately ordered to continue firing from the front, pretending that all the firepower of the Eastern Army would paralyze the judgment of the Western Army.

They even deliberately extended the position outwards and set up traps to wait for the Western Army's flanking raid troops.

"Hey, I was fooled. You little bastard, they noticed the flanking raid in advance, and even set a trap on purpose!"

"I'm afraid the casualties of the Western Army will not be small."

When the first and third platoons of the western army's outflanking troops suddenly rushed out, they were ambushed by the firepower of the eastern army, and the referees kept announcing that the soldiers of the western army were killed in battle.

When this scene spread to the mountain watching the battle, Yang Chongshan, the head of the 57th Regiment, couldn't help cursing.

This scolding made the cadres of the independent regiment feel more favorable towards Yang Chongshan.

The head of the Jinsui Army said displeasedly: "Old Yang, what are you doing? It's just a military exercise. Do you really think that the ones on the top of the mountain are devils, and the ones who sacrificed are the troops of the Eighth Route Army?"

Kong Jie's voice sounded immediately: "Our Eighth Route Army has been fighting the Japanese army for so many years. We are in the most difficult and dangerous environment behind the enemy lines, and we are almost helpless."

"If it were on the real battlefield, brother Chu, brother Chongshan, and the regiment leaders, I'm afraid the situation at that time would be more cruel than the current one."

Commander Kong’s words were a bit bitter, “A few years ago, the little devil said, what are you talking about? Three shots and eight roads. When our Eighth Route Army fights, we often shoot three shots and either run away or risk the devil’s bullets. Charge and fight hand-to-hand."

"Why? Because after firing three shots, the bullets in his pocket have already been exhausted. If you don't retreat, you will either charge forward, or you will be a living target for the little devil in vain."

"But the conditions for hand-to-hand combat are not so easy to find. I really think that little devil is talking about bullshit Bushido spirit, and he will play bayonet with you when he sees that you have no bullets? Dreaming!"

"As long as we fail to hand in hand-to-hand combat quickly before the devil reacts, and the devil's firepower is directly swept over, how much we soldiers will go up and sacrifice."

"Soldiers fell one after another, it hurts my heart like a knife!"

"You think that our Eighth Route Army troops are better equipped now, what is the basis for this?
It was fought with the blood and lives of the soldiers who paved the way ahead. "

"Relying on the huge sacrifices made by the soldiers in front, the troops behind us only have a few more guns and bullets in their hands, so that they can grow slowly and continue to fight devils.

The situation has improved a bit in recent years, you can go and ask about it, the little devils came to clean up our enemy's rear, before a devil soldier could carry 120 rounds of ammunition.

now what?It would be nice to be able to carry sixty rounds.

why?The devil is also afraid that our Eighth Route Army will capture it by fighting, and the snowball will get bigger and bigger, which in turn will kill his devil! "

Commander Kong's words were so majestic that Chu Yunfei and other officers of the Jinsui Army were inexplicably shocked by the words, while the soldiers of the Independence Regiment were proud and determined.

On the exercise battlefield, the battle between the Eastern Army and the Western Army entered a fierce battle.

With the help of the frontal feint attack, the troops who rushed up from the flanks fell into the trap of the Eastern Army.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, if he retreated at this time, he would only expose his back and make it a living target for the devils.

The soldiers of the Western Army were also red-eyed one by one, as if they were on a real battlefield, they launched a desperate charge one by one,
Even if you die, you have to hit the last bullet and the last grenade into the position of the Japanese squadron before you die.

This scene made the officers of the Jinsui Army inexplicably terrified.

They even thought in their hearts, if the Western Army that was attacking and being massacred at this time was replaced by their Jinsui Army, how long could they last?

Perhaps it has already been defeated!

The fearless spirit shown by the Western Army, which represented the Eighth Route Army, silenced the officers of the Jinsui Army.

…………

... Shouts of killing and gunshots were mixed indistinctly.

With a firm gaze, Duan Peng led a group of eleven soldiers and successfully detoured to the back of the mountain where the Eastern Army's position was located.

The backside of this hill is a fairly steep rock face.

It is extremely difficult to climb up, and if you are not careful, you will slip from the top, and then go down to the mountain stream tens of meters deep.

If it falls, it will kill people.

But Duan Peng was not the only one with firm eyes at this moment. When Duan Peng said: "Comrades, listen to the gunshots, our flank raid troops have been exposed. According to the conventional style of play, we represent the Eighth Route Army troops and want to take down the Japanese squadron." The position is basically impossible, whether we can win right now, we are the last hope."

"Although this is an exercise, the battalion commander and the company commanders have said that this should be regarded as an actual combat. I just want to ask everyone, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, monitor, we are not afraid-"

The soldiers opened their mouths one after another, and the deep ravine cliff at the foot not far away was directly ignored by the brave soldiers.

"Good job, we are the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army has never conceded defeat. This victory and glory belong to our group."

Duan Peng said, and asked again: "Remember, according to the play method we discussed when we came here, now each of us has three grenades, and the twelve of us add up to 36 grenades.

According to intelligence, the Eastern Army occupies the absolute commanding heights, but the area on the top of the mountain is relatively narrow, and it is surrounded by fortifications.

The area where the troops of the Eastern Army are now hiding is actually very small.

After we raided from the back side, as long as we can avoid the guard posts set up by the Eastern Army on the back side.

Then throw the 36 grenades all at once to the Eastern Army's position.

According to the power of these 36 grenades, at least one-third of the Eastern Army's position can be blown up by us.

At that time, the main force of our Western Army will take the opportunity to launch an attack. The victory in this exercise will definitely belong to us! "

"Yes--"

After the explanation, Duan Peng led the team and set off, leading the soldiers to climb up from the steep cliff on the back.

Duan Peng was the best, walking first. As soon as he climbed up the cliff from the side depression, he stepped on a piece of gravel. The gravel rolled directly to the bottom of the cliff, and as it fell, he was soon smashed to pieces.

Looking at the steep cliff, Duan Peng was also terrified.

On the back side of the Eastern Army, the side of the cliff completely avoided the battlefield where the two armies were practicing and fighting. Even Kong Jie and his party could not see the field of vision at all.

Looking at the trampled gravel, after thinking for a moment, Duan Peng immediately ordered: "Everyone take off the military uniforms, pull them into ropes, tie them together, tie them around their waists, and connect them as a whole. .

When one person climbs up, the other person holds on to the rock wall and tree trunk as insurance. "

The soldiers' eyes lit up when they heard it, and they immediately followed suit.

The rock climbing was indeed extremely thrilling. One of the fighters lost his grip and slipped directly. Fortunately, the other fighter as insurance firmly grasped a thick tree root on the rock wall, so no accident happened.

This scene made Duan Peng break out in a cold sweat. Although the exercise can be regarded as a real battlefield, if there is an accident because it is a real battlefield, it is not a joke. Let alone his regret, go back to the regiment , the company commander will definitely not spare him.

"Be careful, remember, keep your center of gravity on the rock wall as much as possible, as an insurance soldier, you must pay close attention, the lives of your comrades are all in your hands!"

Duan Peng wiped his sweat a little and reminded.

The rock-climbing group continued upwards, but fortunately the journey was safe and sound.

It took Duan Peng and his party more than half an hour to successfully climb up the not-so-high back and side rock walls.

On the top of the mountain, the battle between the Eastern Army and the Western Army is still going on.

The soldiers of the Eastern Army who were fighting on the commanding heights, seeing the soldiers of the Western Army who were constantly being eliminated, felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.

A recruit soldier with a heavy machine gun couldn't help cursing:
"Now I know that, in normal wars, when little devils attack us, this is the situation in front of us!"

"Before in the recruit company, when the veterans came to teach us the experience of fighting the enemy on the battlefield, they told us the stories of how many soldiers died tragically under the guns of the devils on the battlefield. At that time, I thought that was the case."

"It's only now that I understand how tragic the situation will be at that time."

"Such a real battlefield is much crueler than the military exercises in front of us."

"This little devil is just bullying our equipment!"

The platoon leader on the side scolded: "You boy, don't be naughty, at eleven o'clock, a small team from the Western Army is about to touch it."

The recruit smiled wryly and turned his gun. With the sudden burst of fire, nearly half of the soldiers in that team were declared dead by the referee.

"Platoon leader, it's our own comrades who are beating up. I feel really bad about it."

The platoon leader scolded: "If you don't feel like it, let me hold it back. Who the hell is feeling like such a useless fight?"

"Tell you, after this battle is over, we will switch to the Western Army in the next game. When the Western Army turns around with machine guns, you will feel at ease."

When the platoon leader said this, the recruits immediately became cautious and alert to the attack of the Western Army.

As time went on, under the judgment of the military referee, the casualties of more than 280 soldiers of the Western Army had exceeded half.

When the two sides were fighting the most fiercely, no one noticed that there was a cliff on the back side of the most unexpected mountain.

Duan Peng led a group of soldiers to touch it silently.

Even Kong Jie and the others were surprised by Squad One's entry this time, let alone the Eastern Army.

The Eastern Army representing the Japanese squadron was unaware of this.

After all, according to the combat methods and combat routes of the simulated exercises set by the platoon leaders at the previous meeting, there was no mention of the steep slope at all.

That place is too steep, it's just a drill, who would have thought that there would be soldiers going up there, risking their lives for a surprise attack?
Therefore, in the direction of the steep slope on the back side, the Eastern Army only symbolically arranged two soldiers as guards.

Duan Peng's skill, which he felt a little bit, was not covered. He directly covered the mouth of one of the sentry soldiers and dragged him down.

Another sentry was dragged away by the deputy squad leader.

"Hey, Erhu, Sanpao, I'm sorry, you two are our prisoners now, just stay here honestly!"

Duan Peng said with a smile, looking at the two recruits who were tied up by the soldiers and stuffed their mouths with leggings.

The eyes of the two recruits were full of horror. They never expected that these guys would be touched in the direction of the cliff on the back side.

The next infiltration raid was much simpler. After Duan Peng led eleven soldiers from the back to the Eastern Army's position less than 20 meters away, he shouted: "Fight!"

All of a sudden, the 12 people started to fight together, and each of them threw three grenades, which were made of lumps of wood anyway, without pull rings, and within 15 seconds, they all threw them out.

During normal training, the soldiers did not practice bomb throwing. The accuracy of the soldiers is not bad for throwing at a distance of less than 20 meters.

The 36 grenades, without exception, all smashed into the position where the Eastern Army was located.

Company Commander Zhang, who was directing the firepower of the Eastern Army to block the attack, heard the movement, turned his head to look at a pile of wood lumps flying down from the sky, and opened his mouth so wide that he could almost swallow his fist.

"Hold your head, hold your head, everyone hold your head!"

Captain Zhang yelled, and took the lead in covering his head with his arms.

Don't really be crushed to death by a lump of wood.

Rumbling, this is of course the imaginary sound of 36 grenades exploding together.

On the contrary, a soldier was unlucky and was hit in the body, and he screamed in pain.

On the Eastern Army's ground, the referees in charge of refereeing were also stunned.

One said: "It's Duan Peng, where did that kid come from?"

The other said: "Mother Xipi, this squad must have climbed up from the steep cliff behind the Eastern Army, right?"

Another one said: "Hey, this round of grenades hit at such a close distance, what is the judgment? How many people have to be killed in the Eastern Army to be suitable?"

Duan Peng didn't give the Eastern Army and the referees time to react. He had already led a group of soldiers and launched an attack on the Eastern Army, which was ten times larger than himself...
