Chapter 623 Becoming a Platoon Leader

"Brother Xia, what you said is very accurate. I have sent communications troops to tell the company commander and the others that the Lin family residence was captured by us. I guess there will be news later."

The fourth platoon leader stood up, looked at the lonely yard, and said, "Then how will we guard it later, it doesn't look very easy to guard here."

"The Japanese devils attacked from the outside, and the yard is not easy to guard, so let's go outside and find a place that is easy to guard."

Xia Yuan pondered for a moment and then thought of a response plan: "Just don't let the little Japanese devil get close to the Lin family residence."

"Good way, old Qian, you take someone outside to find a safe place to get up, leave a few brothers in the house, and return the crooked hands to Brother Xia and the others."

"Yes!"

Lao Qian is that old soldier. From the beginning of the war, he fought against the Japanese devils here. After fighting for a few days, many people around him died. He survived the battlefield by luck and met people from the Sixteenth Brigade. , And joined the four rows, followed by the four rows of long fights.

His rich combat experience makes him no weaker than any platoon leader, which is one of the reasons why the fourth platoon leader asked him to take on this important task.

Lao Qian acted quickly. He divided the dozen or so brothers in the fourth row into three, each with a machine gun, and set them up at the window on the second floor. The muzzles of the guns were aimed at the alleys and gates on both sides.

Lao Qian brought people outside quickly, found an open field, and built a crude shooting position here. They had no choice but to rely on the ruins to build a shooting position because they lacked effective expansion tools.

For the warlords, such shooting positions are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but for the Japanese army, they are no different from paper. Lao Qian has already used his housekeeping skills and even built an outpost.

Xia Yuan didn't stop either. The three-story building of Lin's house had to be used well, but he knew that the Japanese devils had cannons and grenade launchers. Therefore, to make good use of Lin's house, it couldn't just be in a simple three-story building like the Japanese army. Dig a few holes like that to build a machine gun firepower point.

When the [-]th Brigade came here, they hadn't fought the Japanese army very much. It was the first time they went to the front to fight the Japanese army. Many local troops in the country hadn't fought the Japanese army very much, and they didn't know much about the Japanese army's offensive mode.

The fourth platoon leader asked Xia Yuan, "How do you plan to defend the Lin family house? When the Japanese counterattacked our position earlier, they used shelling." He pointed to the impact points in the yard: "These are the results of the Japanese shelling, and the collapsed The house, leaving three people in Lin's house, they all know what they will face, I also know, but Lin's house cannot be lost."

"I don't intend to guard the Lin family's house." Xia Yuan pondered, shaking his head.

"Same as Lao Qian's method, we defend outside? As long as the Lin family residence is not captured." The fourth platoon leader thought for a while and asked.

"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded: "The Japanese army's attack pattern is almost fixed. Artillery bombards and infantry rushes. If the infantry cannot rush down, the artillery continues to bombard. But when I came here, I learned that there was only one Japanese soldier in Qiaojiazhai. Squad, even if the Japanese army reinforces Qiao's house, I estimate that the strength will not exceed two squads, so I plan to lead a sneak attack."

"Sneak attack?" The fourth platoon leader was slightly startled.

"The Japanese army has formed a fixed mindset towards us. We don't know how to fight, and we will just stay in place blindly. They will naturally relax further about their surroundings. This is our opportunity. I took my people and touched them. The Japanese devils sneak up on them from behind, and if you put pressure on them from the front, I guess the Japanese reinforcements will be eaten by us."

The fourth platoon leader's eyes widened. Yan Ran was frightened by Xia Yuan's plan. He looked at the three people around Xia Yuan, hesitated for a long time, and said, "You four are going to sneak attack the Japanese devils?"

"enough."

Things are brewing in the calm Lin family house.

Strengthening the company headquarters, Chen Hengchun waited for the news from the front line. After the reinforcements from the [-]st Regiment passed, the battle on the front line was sometimes fierce and sometimes calm. , The situation of each platoon is not optimistic. Casualties are one aspect, and the loss of positions is another aspect.

The scout quickly ran back with the news, "Company Commander, Lin's House, Lin's House was captured by us."

Chen Hengchun originally thought it was bad news, but he didn't expect it to be good news. He was slightly startled, stood up and frowned: "What, the Lin family residence was captured by us? Are you sure it's true?"

"It's true. The fourth platoon has entered Lin's house and started setting up defenses. The brothers from the [-]st Regiment who came to reinforce them are so powerful. The firepower of the little Japanese is as soft as mud in front of them. After several charges, the little Japanese's The firepower point was blinded."

The scout was very excited. After passing the bad news for so long, it can be regarded as an exciting good news.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Chen Hengchun said hello three times in a row. He thought that the platoon from the [-]st Regiment looked good on the outside, but was actually soft. I didn't expect that they had some abilities.

"The Lin family's house is the center of the entire forward position, so we can't lose it. Deputy company commander Wan, let him take people to support the fourth platoon in the direction of Lin's house. After fighting for so long, there may not be many people left in the fourth platoon. "

Chen Hengchun also had a lot of experience on the battlefield. He immediately judged the current situation and the Japanese army would not let it go, so he immediately ordered Deputy Company Commander Wan to bring people to support.

It was not only Chen Hengchun who was shocked, but also Qiu Zhengfu.

This guy decided to seize the commander, and planned to wait until Xia Yuan died and return with bad news. He never thought that the Lin family house would actually be defeated by them, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Company Commander Xu looked at Qiu Zhengfu and said, "Platoon Commander Qiu, I have something to say. Xia Yuan is a very rare talent. Commander Qiu is very optimistic about him. I hope you can think about it again."

Company Commander Xu hopes to ease the relationship between the two parties: "Our enemies are the Japanese, not our own people."

Qiu Zhengfu said righteously: "Captain Xu, do you really think that Xia Yuan can lead you to Qiao's house? You are right. Xia Yuan is indeed a talent, but our soldiers are not. He can Can my soldiers survive the battlefield? They are all elites trained hard by the party and state, and they are here to protect Commander Qiu. They cannot die here."

When Captain Xu heard the other party's words, he was full of pertinence. He could not suppress the anger in his heart. He scolded Qiu Zhengfu: "Your soldiers are soldiers, so my soldiers are not soldiers? Your soldiers are elites cultivated by the party and state. Then my soldiers are not right? Your soldiers are to protect Commander Qiu, and my soldiers are to protect our land of China!"

Lianchang Xu realized his gaffe, took a long breath, and forced himself to calm down, but the other party's words were like a needle, piercing his heart deeply, and the air was stuffy, but it made him feel like his heart was stuffed into winter condensation The ice cubes are average and extremely cold.

"Xia Yuan wanted to come to you before, but then he gave up. He told me that this war is related to those compatriots who were murdered by the Japanese devils, those soldiers who sacrificed for the victory of the war, and those who eagerly donated money to win the war. ordinary people."

Captain Xu's voice was sonorous: "I give you this sentence, Qiu Zhengfu. If you are afraid, go back now. I will tell Captain Qiu the truth about what happened here."

He called Erlianzi and prepared to leave together.

boom!
There was a gunshot behind him.

Company Commander Xu paused, looked down at his chest, the blood stained the military uniform on his chest, turning the grass green military uniform into a rich black color, his expression was unbelievable, "You"

Before he could finish speaking, Company Commander Xu fell heavily to the ground.

The widened pupils were filled with incredible light, and gradually lost their color.

The second fool stood there blankly, at a loss.

Not long after, there was news that Company Commander Xu had gone to the front line to participate in the battle, and the second fool was also missing.

Until his death, Company Commander Xu couldn't believe that Qiu Zhengfu would really kill him.

After Captain Xu died, Qiu Zhengfu's expression became relaxed. He ordered several of Captain Xu's men to be killed as well, including Er Lunzi, but he never thought that Er Lunzi ran away halfway.

Qiu Zhengfu, who learned about this, waved his hand: "It's harmless, it's just a run away, there's no big waves, pack up your things, let's go."

Qiu Zhengfu decided to run away. After returning, he told Captain Qiu about the situation here in a more aggravating manner. As for Xia Yuan, haha, did Captain Qiu believe his own words or his one-sided words?
What's more, whether Xia Yuan can come back is still a question.

Lin's house.

Before the reinforcements of the Japanese army arrived, Xia Yuan took Zhao Shiguo, Zheng Dayong, and the scholar to find the only way for the reinforcements of the Japanese devils, and found a corner where they got up.

"I don't know when the little Japs will come. It's really painful to wait."

Zheng Dayong didn't like the feeling of waiting, because waiting was a very painful thing and made him feel very uncomfortable all over his body.

"It's okay to suffer. This proves that you have pressure in your heart. Only when you have pressure can you have motivation. When the little Japanese devils come, you have to beat them hard. Kill all the Japanese devils, and the pressure in your heart will disappear."

Zhao Shiguo praised Xia Yuan's unique ideas.

"Brother Yuan is right. If all the little Japanese devils are dead, you will have no pressure. If the little Japanese devils are not dead, your pressure will still be there." Zhao Shiguo is very optimistic about Zheng Dayong, this brat, "Put away your Kindness, think about Niu Hai, think about his family, they were all persecuted by that little Japanese devil, we want to avenge Niu Hai."

Thinking of Niu Hai, Zheng Dayong felt a little sad in his heart, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously: "Brother Yuan, platoon leader, don't worry, I will definitely beat the little devil hard."

Zhao Shiguo smiled, patted the kid on the shoulder, and said, "By the way, don't call me the platoon leader anymore. From now on, Brother Yuan will be our platoon leader, and I will no longer be the platoon leader."

"Ah!?" Zheng Dayong was stunned for a moment.

"Ah what, you stinky boy." Zhao Shiguo slapped Zheng Dayong on the head and said, "Your brother Yuan's strength is obvious to all. He can lead us to survive. I will lead you. I'm afraid it won't be the same for the two of us." My life will be lost."

Zheng Dayong chuckled: "Brother Yuan, no, platoon leader."

"You brat, your face turns so fast." Zhao Shiguo cursed.

"Hahahaha!" Xia Yuan laughed loudly, "You, don't piss off the old platoon leader."

"Go, go, platoon leader, stop teasing me." Zhao Shiguo said with a smile.

Let Xia Yuan be the platoon leader was proposed by Zhao Shiguo. Xia Yuan's combat effectiveness is obvious to all along the way, and what he has done is enough to serve as the platoon leader. Zhao Shiguo thinks about his journey, almost nothing Too much contribution, let Xia Yuan be the platoon leader.

Anyway, there is no commander here right now, just the four of them.

Zhao Shiguo is not a pedantic person either, only those who can lead them to live are worthy of being a platoon leader, assuming the post of platoon leader.

"The platoon leader of four people is a false title after all. You are more suitable than me for being the platoon leader."

This is what Zhao Shiguo said when he found Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan did not refuse. The platoon leader of the new barracks was not a platoon leader. Besides, on the battlefield, the content of many things could not be scrutinized. Even if he said that he was a platoon leader of the Central Army, few people would doubt it.

"Platoon leader, the little Japanese devils are here." The scholar in charge of security ran in from outside with a gun in his hand, and said to Xia Yuan in a hurry.

Zhao Shiguo and Zheng Dayong hugged their machine guns as soon as they heard it, and their whole bodies became tense.

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Shiguo down and said, "Don't worry, when the Japanese invaders pass and launch an attack on Lin's house, the Japanese army's defense will be at its weakest, and it will also be our opportunity."

The three of them nodded and took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous.

Ten minutes later, gunshots rang out, very abruptly, followed by the rapid bombardment of Japanese artillery shells, the earth trembled, and continuous explosions sounded like firecrackers being set off from a distance.

The scholar knew the sound of the cannon very well, and said, "It's the sound of grenades."

The crisp exit, the dull landing.

Xia Yuan said calmly: "Rush over later, Zheng Dayong, Lao Zhao, you are responsible for providing fire support and suppression, and the gunners of the little Japanese devils will be handed over to me and the scholar."

"Is it possible?" Zheng Dayong felt a little more timid and hesitant when he heard the roar of cannons in the distance.

"What can be done or can't be done? Forget that we have wiped out seven or eight Japanese Japs before. Brat, when the critical moment comes, you will be intimidated. Don't let it go later." Zhao Shiguo patted Zheng with hatred. A useful brain.

Zheng Da used his hand to touch the place where he was hit and said, "Uncle Zhao, please stop hitting me on the head. My mother told me that hitting someone on the head will make them stupid."

"Look at how stupid you are now, it doesn't matter if you beat him a few more times." Zhao Shiguo cursed, and said, "Remember, beat hard, killing the Japanese devils is not mine, but yours."

Zheng Dayong stood up, and stopped rubbing his head: "Forget me, hey, this relationship is good, then I will definitely kill more little Japanese devils."

"Smelly boy." Zhao Shiguo cursed.

Many people died in the second platoon, and he still had a blood debt to pay back to the little Japanese devils. They only killed a dozen Japanese devils, and it was too early.
