Chapter 41 Company Commander
The third battle.
We marched continuously for three days and two nights. After rushing to the position, we only slept for more than two hours before we got on the position. Then, we forced thousands of US troops to attack for more than six hours in the hill during the day, which made all of us exhausted.
In fact, we don’t know how long we have been on the high ground. On that position, we have completely lost the concept of time and only know how to kill the enemy and save our lives!
For more than six hours, it was told by a soldier who sent us to the rear.
We did not participate in the battle to pursue the US military later, and we no longer had the strength to do anything anymore. Even the comrades told us that the good news came from the front could only make us hum a few times.
As soon as we arrived at the destination, we were in a large air-raid shelter, and the seven of us fell down and fell asleep without exception.
Although I was so tired, I couldn't sleep soundly. Because my mind was covered with blood, dead bodies, broken organs, gunshots, bombings, screams...
I woke up in a nightmare, and my first reaction was to reach out to grab the gun, but I grabbed it in vain. I was startled and sweat came out, crawling in the dark air-raid shelter and touching everywhere. I kept shouting: "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! The Japanese are coming!"
The comrades jumped up.
"The devils are coming?"
"Where is the gun?"
"Where are the Japanese?"
It was pitch black in the cave and no one could find the gun, so they immediately became messy...
"Comrade!" A voice outside the cave scared us.
"Who! Who! Password!"
“Which part is from?”
“Serve the people!”
...
We shouted nervously outside the cave, and someone even picked up a stone and wanted to smash it outside.
"Liberate the New China, comrades, don't get me wrong!" The voice outside the cave quickly explained, "I'm from the first company. Captain Chu asked us to protect you here. The Japanese were beaten away. You fell asleep and turned around. I was afraid that the gun would fire, so I put away your guns. I'm just putting it at the bottom of the cave."
With a few swishes, I felt the gun at the bottom of the hole. It was best to find my sniper rifle. After I touched the gun with a scope in the dark, I snatched it and didn't care which one they snatched it. At this time, my heart became much more relaxed, and my nerves that were originally tense gradually relaxed.
I walked out of the cave with a gun in my arms and found that it was just dark. I couldn't help but ask my comrades standing guard at the cave entrance with some confusion and said, "Comrade, I remember that it was almost dark when we came. Why did we sleep for so long? It's not dark yet?"
"Comrade." Several soldiers standing at the entrance of the cave laughed and said, "It was yesterday when you came. You have been sleeping all day and night."
"What? It's been a day and a night?" Hu Zi, who followed behind, was surprised when the old squad leader heard this.
"Then...whether of the regiment commander and others? Our troops?" Hu Zi asked while sorting out his equipment and preparing for the march.
"Our army has gone to chase the Japanese." One of the soldiers replied: "It has been a day and a night, so I can't catch up."
"Why don't you call us?" Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, and threw the equipment to the ground in a furious manner.
"The regiment commander said that you are the only ones left in the Second Company. You can't let you fight anymore. You have to leave some backbones if you say it. Otherwise, the recruits will have to be replenished. Who will bring what to do?"
"Recruit?"
"Yes!" The soldier looked at us with admiration and said, "You are even fighting fiercely. I was a little scared to see the fierceness of killing the American devils. The regiment commander said that a group of new recruits will come up behind you, and you will give priority to your company! You are also asked to choose a company commander and bring people to you in two days."
"New recruit?" I couldn't help but ask strangely when I heard this: "The soldier I added to our company last time..."
"The soldiers who were supplemented last time were all the chief guards and orderly soldiers. They were all withdrawn and filled in. I had no choice but to withdraw this time, so I could only add new recruits!"
"Oh." I nodded when I heard this. I felt a little strange. Why are the newly added soldiers so capable of fighting? It's a pity that they just added and not yet familiar with each other...
"As far as I can tell..." Hu Zi sat on the ground and pointed at me and said, "What else can I choose for this company commander? Comrades say who else can be more suitable than this kid? Who would choose this kid? I Hu Zi is anxious about him!"
Everyone laughed knowingly, and I hurriedly stopped him, "Huzi, don't talk nonsense, I'm not sure if I'm a soldier..."
"I agree!" The old squad leader expressed his opinion first: "Plane Commander Cui's military achievements are beyond words. The comrades can't be false, so I have nothing to say about platoon commander Cui as the company commander of our company!"
"I agree too!" Zhao Yongxin limped out at this time, and the old squad leader hurriedly walked up to help him sit down.
"I'm not for Platoon Commander Cui's military achievements." Zhao Yongxin sat down with difficulty and said, "I think that Platoon Commander Cui has many tricks, and we often find it difficult. This is like cutting tofu with a quick knife in his hand. It's like crossing the Wuling Bridge, it's like hitting the enemy's flamethrower and burning the enemy's tanks together... So, I have a selfish intention. If Platoon Commander Cui is the company commander, we will have a good life in the future!"
With a coaxing sound, Zhao Yongxin's words attracted laughter from the soldiers.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart. Even though Zhao Yongxin's wound hurt so much that the corners of his mouth were cramped, he still didn't forget to joke.
The comrades in the series were also amused and laughed. At the same time, the eyes all looked at me, and the eyes seemed to say: "It turns out that this comrade was the one who fought the Americans on the battlefield yesterday and burned the tanks!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
...
Among the only seven remaining people in our company, Zhao Yongxin and I were the platoon leader. At this time, Zhao Yongxin also agreed to be the company commander, so the others agreed without any objection. So I decided to be the company commander, but I knew very well in my heart that I knew nothing about the matter of leading troops, and at the same time I didn’t like those trivial matters, nor did I like to be stressed or responsible.
