Chapter 613 First-Rate Soldiers, Second-Rate Officers

"Be kind to your comrades in arms and loyal to your country. You are a good company commander. Bloodshed and sacrifices on the battlefield are inevitable. However, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness at night has been greatly weakened. If you attack during the day, the Japanese army's firepower will be even more fierce. By then At that time, the casualties will be even greater."

There is no specific measurement standard for right and wrong, and every good thing and bad thing cannot be measured with a numerical value.

A person has a personal opinion.

Shakespeare's famous saying, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers." It can be used not only in reading books, but also in everything in life, the way you view things, and the clear distinction between good and evil, right and wrong, The attitude towards the problem and so on.

Company Commander Xu raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"

"Xia Yuan."

"Xia Yuan, what a good name." Captain Xu read the word 'yuan' with great appreciation, "The Eighth Company is short of people, will you come? That bastard Cao Jiayao will not let you go. If you leave now, he will definitely treat you badly. You take action."

"Company Commander Xu, what are your plans next?" Xia Yuan didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

He feels that Company Commander Xu is a talent. If his mind is on the battlefield, he can be drawn into their team. At present, their team has basically been determined, and they will not leave the Songhu battlefield. Luodian and the others will come back again. By then , do not know how many people will survive.

Company Commander Xu looked at the brothers in his hand and said: "I am not willing to leave in such a disgruntled way after our brothers died. After the brothers in my hands are settled down, I will bring back the living brothers. Those who died Brother, you can’t just die like this.”

What Company Commander Xu said made Xia Yuan's eyes shine. He needs an officer from the Central Army to join their team. If Company Commander Xu can be recruited into the meeting, then their team will have a company-level scale. When the time comes to recruit rout soldiers from the battlefield, Company Commander Xu will be able to play a role.

However, it is a bit unrealistic to want to draw such an officer from the Central Army into their team.

The treatment of the Central Army is very good, and the speed of making money is absolutely one-on-one. This team of mine does not have any organization. If we insist on organization, only Platoon Leader Zhao can drive it.

Everything is not necessarily absolute, there will always be opportunities.

If you don't try, you never get a chance.

Company Commander Xu is also hitting his little Jiujiu. What he said just now seems to be out of his heart, but he is actually trying to draw these five soldiers into their company. It's not that he took a fancy to the weapons and equipment of these five soldiers, cough cough , In fact, I was a little bit excited, two crooked handles, plus a few machine gun bullets, it was already a good set of firepower.

And whether these five people are capable or not, he is looking forward to the performance of these five people.However, Company Commander Xu didn't speak directly. What he said earlier was just a foreshadowing. Next, he wanted to take them with him temporarily to express his sincerity. The second thing was to see how powerful these five people were and whether it was worth it for him to pull down his identity to win them over.

Xia Yuan and Company Commander Xu had their own ulterior motives, and neither of them directly expressed their thoughts.

In fact, if Company Commander Xu spoke up, Xia Yuan would also agree that his value would not be buried anywhere. On the battlefield, he could still control the initiative, so no matter if he was leading his own team, it would be fine if he joined Company Commander Xu's team Also into.

The other party didn't say anything, and Xia Yuan didn't mention it either. There will always be a chance.

The situation in the Eighth Company was worse than Xia Yuan imagined. The grassroots cadres in the company basically died. Only one platoon leader and two squad leaders were left. They were both injured. Company Commander Xu did not lie to them. , none of them are cowards.

The situation of Company Commander Xu can be seen at a glance. He has fought on the battlefield, and he is completely different from the Company Commander Cao he has seen. It was paddling on the battlefield.

The Battle of Songhu was very fierce, heroic and tenacious, and there were many soldiers of the national army who were not afraid of sacrifice. However, there were always some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. They didn't want to contribute on the battlefield, but thought about how to survive.

"Even volunteers with firm beliefs cannot avoid it."

Many people may not know that in the early days of the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many commanders and fighters maintained a very optimistic spirit. There is no concept at all, and all cognition is still in the domestic war.

Under such circumstances, in the early days of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, there was a spirit of blind optimism in the army, so much so that when they arrived at the Korean battlefield and saw the real situation on the Korean battlefield, many people chose to back down. Xia Yuan entered the Korean War twice. Combat experience.

The first time was to follow the No. [-] Company. At that time, the Ninth Corps’ secrecy work was very good. In addition, the troops entered the North Korea separately, and the No. [-] Company was bombed by U.S. aircraft after crossing the Yalu River. Map went to complete the task of transporting the radio station, and derailed from the Ninth Corps.

Back in the real world, he began to understand the Ninth Corps in depth. He learned that after the Ninth Corps entered North Korea to fight, many blindly optimistic soldiers saw the harsh weather conditions in North Korea. After learning about the terrifying and powerful US military, many of them became cadres. deserter.

But at that time, a confidentiality agreement was made. These things did not spread in the army, and it was also to stabilize the morale of the army.

Not only the Ninth Corps, but also every Corps and army, when they entered the DPRK to fight, some people would choose to become deserters, and among the millions of volunteers, there would always be some people who were not determined.

What's more, in the current national army, the senior ranks of the national army have generals called "parachutists", let alone ordinary soldiers at the bottom.

"The eighth company suffered too many casualties. This company commander Xu is really a character."

After driving for a while, the wounded of the [-]th Company needed to stop to rest. Xia Yuan and the others sat not far away and watched. Platoon Leader Zhao looked at Company Commander Xu in the distance with great admiration.

"That's right, the two company commanders we met, look at each of them as bears, wishing to kill us." Niu Hai crossed his arms, complaining very much in his heart.

"Central Army, hey, that's his own son. He has money, someone, and a gun, but it's not a good thing. We've traveled all the way, and we haven't met a few people who talk to us and help us like Company Commander Xu. "Zheng Dayong agreed with what Niu Hai said. He had no feelings for the Central Army, and he had no skills. He wanted them, a group of recruits, to go to the battlefield to block bullets.

Pooh.

"The Central Army is the elite, and the elite must be left behind to fight. Only in this way can they play the greatest role. What do you know?"

The scholar threw the bullet clip behind him, and some disagreed with Zheng Dayong's words: "Not all the Central Army are cowards, we are just unlucky, and met a few company commanders who are not good people. Company commander Xu is a good guy. We can't beat people to death with a stick."

"What is the elite? It's a coward." Zheng Dayong's resentment is not small. "Otherwise, why didn't they go, let us go to the new barracks, whether we want guns or guns, or guns or guns, we have to wait for us to go to the battlefield to snatch it from the little Japanese devils. If it was Brother Muyuan, we would have already He was beaten to death by the little Japanese devil."

"Okay, you're just showing off, right? What the scholar said makes sense. We can't beat them to death with a single stick. There are good ones and there are bad ones. Company Commander Xu really wanted to fight the little Japanese devils." , that Company Commander Cao is just a soldier, and when he goes to the battlefield, he thinks about how to survive until he retreats."

Platoon Leader Zhao still has a certain ability to distinguish right from wrong: "Look, this is not retreating from the battlefield alive, and his clothes are not dirty. Those who don't know think they went to play."

Xia Yuan laughed, held his gun, and said, "Okay, okay, stop making noise. There are some people in the Central Army who really want to save the country, but there is no way. The incompetent is not the ordinary soldiers, but the higher-ups." Incompetent, if the higher ups were really powerful, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly by the little Japanese devils."

Xia Yuan put his hands on his knees, bent his waist, and said, "Do you know how many people we have and how many Japanese devils are fighting this time?"

"How many?"

The four people stared at each other with big eyes and said in a daze.

"There are more than 70 national troops and more than 30 Japanese devils."

Zheng Dayong: "I'll be good, there are too many people here."

Niu Hai disdained: "There is nothing to do with too many people. There are not many people in the new barracks. There are hundreds of people, but there are no guns, grenades, or machine guns. When they arrive on the battlefield, they are chased and beaten by dozens of little Japanese devils."

"No, no, no, the recruit camp is a recruit camp. None of us have been on the battlefield. There are more than 70 in the Central Army. Even if there are many cowards in the Central Army, life and death are at stake on the battlefield. They don't want Resist, you have to resist, and the central army is all elite, much stronger than our recruit battalion, you can't look at all the national army troops from the perspective of the recruit battalion."

The scholar refuted Niu Hai, and asked again: "Brother Xia, can we win?"

"Yes, winning is the key." Platoon Leader Zhao remained silent. Hearing the scholar's last words, he immediately intervened.

"I think we can win." Hearing what the scholar said, Zheng Dayong had some confidence in the national army's victory in this war. "I heard that it is not an all-out war of resistance. We will definitely win this battle."

Xia Yuan listened to everyone's conversation. They thought things too simply. The victory of a war should not only depend on the number of people. However, to drive the Japanese devils away from this battle, what he wanted was to rely on international forces to mediate this war of aggression against China. The so-called all-out war of resistance was completely forced to all-out war of resistance.

"Brother Xia, do you think we can defeat the little Japanese devil in this war?"

Several people argued endlessly, the scholar was smart, so he went directly to ask Xia Yuan.

"Can win."

Xia Yuan said firmly.

"Look, we will definitely win this war."

Little people also have big feelings.

What Xia Yuan said about being able to win naturally does not refer to the Battle of Songhu. The bald head launched several battles, all of which ended in failure, consuming national power, soldiers, and financial resources, but did not solve the problem at its root. He never trusted the bald head, and even mocked the bald head.

General Stilwell of the United States commented on the Battle of Songhu commanded by the "Iron Fist Project" initiated by the bald head, saying that the national army is "first-rate soldiers, second-rate officers, third-rate generals, and low-rate commanders." Xia Yuan has nothing to do with Lao Mei It's too big of an opinion, but I quite agree with General Stilwell's evaluation, which really hits the nail on the head.

What he said was able to win was from the September 14th Incident in [-] to the surrender of the little Japanese devils in [-], which lasted for [-] years.

Victory is ultimately theirs.

The battle in Luodian was quite brutal. The attack lasted all night and failed to break through the Japanese defense line. On the second day, the 67th Division was thrown into the four regiments of Luodian. In less than a week, all of them suffered heavy casualties and could not continue. During the battle, the No.60 Seventh Division withdrew to the south to rest and reorganize on the front line of Jiading, and temporarily withdrew from the battle on the front line.

The No.18 Brigade, the Sixth Division that had just arrived, took over the defense line of the 67th Division and entered the south of Luodian.

Because most of the Eighth Company were wounded, the marching speed was too slow, and they fell behind. More than 30 people crowded into a room, listening to the rumbling artillery fire around them, tearing the foggy air and shattering the ground. The torn flesh and blood bodies, the sky kept buzzing, and the sound of gunfire formed a tragic accompaniment, echoing in Luodian.

It is like a meat grinder that grinds minced meat, constantly putting in new flesh and blood, and constantly being ground.

In Luodian, the strength of the national army fighting the Japanese army changed. The 67th Division withdrew from the battle and replaced the No. 67 Brigade of the 18th Division of the 11th Division. The 33rd and 31st Brigades of the No. [-] Division were responsible for the south of Luodian, forming a strict The defense line withstood wave after wave of Japanese attacks.

The 90th Regiment and the [-]th Regiment of the No. [-] Eighth Division of the National Army marched northward from Xinzhen, and were in charge of the southeast direction of Luodian.

It is not so easy for the Japanese army to occupy Luodian, and the troops of the national army are still resisting tenaciously.

Platoon Leader Zhao stood at the window, listening to the rumbling movement outside, feeling uneasy: "Grandma, we were really lucky last night. You see, this early in the morning, the artillery basically didn't stop, and the sky was full of flying. Some big iron birds."

The gunfire had cast a gray layer on the blue sky, and the smoke filled the air, and the smell was not pleasant.

Niu Hai and Zheng Dayong also lay on the side looking at the gray sky outside, and vaguely saw the "big iron bird" in the sky that could make a loud noise. This was the first time they saw a big iron bird that could fly in the sky , It was very novel, but when the thing dropped shells that crushed the earth one after another, they didn't think it was so novel, it was simply a very terrifying harvesting machine.

"It's scary that this big iron bird can actually drop cannonballs."

"Is this something the Japanese devils have? Don't we have it? What is this thing that can fly in the sky."

The scholar explained to them: "Bombers are the product of technological development."
