Chapter 105

The setting sun sinks in the west, the night falls slowly, and the line of sight gradually becomes a little blurred. Only the seemingly indistinct night wind occasionally blows the treetops and makes an incoherent sound.

There were few officers and soldiers left after the sharp knife reconnaissance company retreated. The muddy and tired soldiers were in groups, leaning against each other, or lying sideways. No one was willing to say a word or make a little more noise.

We lost the war and suffered heavy losses. The morale of the officers and men of the whole company was extremely low.

"First squad leader!" Yu zhanhu, who had just returned from the combat room of the regiment headquarters, shouted to his few troops as he walked.

"Here!" Xiao Yong answered and hurried to the company commander. Although he was still a little tired, he quickly stood at attention and waited for the company commander's instructions.

"How many people are left in your class?" Yu zhanhu symbolically patted Xiao Yong on the shoulder and asked, looking up.

"Report! With me, there are five left." When he answered, Xiao Yong's face was a little more dim. There were twelve soldiers in the first class, even himself, but after a cruel battle, there were only five left. This matter makes Xiao Yong, the monitor of sharp knife class, feel quite sad and even embarrassed.

Yu zhanhu certainly won't blame him for this, because the whole company suffered heavy losses, and there are only about 20 people left. According to this calculation, the sharp knife class is still the class with the most soldiers left. After such a cruel battle, it is not easy to save five soldiers.

Yu zhanhu himself was also very sad, but he couldn't show the slightest. As the leader of the company, all the officers and soldiers of the company watched him and his every move! At this moment, even if he is sad and uncomfortable, he must bear it silently and carry it hard.

He raised his head obliquely, pretended to look at the dark blue sky as if nothing had happened, as if he wanted to see through the whole vast sky, and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "good! Good boy! There are five, good! It's much better than other classes. Most of the other classes have only one or two left."

After leading the army for many years, Yu zhanhu deeply understands the truth that morale can not be encouraged, which must be done at any time. This is especially true at a time when morale is generally very low.

Xiao Yong naturally understood the company commander's meaning. He smiled awkwardly, which was an answer to the company commander.

"In this way, the regimental commander gave us a task." While Yu zhanhu was talking, while squatting down, he stretched out his palm and waved it down, indicating that Xiao Yong also squatted down, Then he lowered his voice a little and said, "the commander's meaning is that we should send a small team to take down the artillery position of the Red Army. This is a difficult and arduous task. The company has the most remaining soldiers in your class, and your class is the sharp knife class of the company. I want to give this task to your class. Do you see any problem?"

"Yes! No problem!" Xiao Yong stood up almost without thinking and replied that he had consciously lowered his voice, but in fact his voice was not small at all.

Having been a soldier for seven or eight years, he responded cleverly. The company commander called himself alone. It turned out that he was giving himself an explanation of the task. Although the company commander used a tone of discussion, in fact, he could never hear that the company commander was discussing with himself.

After being a soldier for a long time, you will naturally understand that the superior is the superior. Any word of the superior may be an order, and the soldier's bounden duty is to obey the order.

"That's good! Look --" Yu zhanhu took out a palm sized note from his pocket while talking, but he saw a sketch drawn obliquely with a pencil on the note, He pointed to the note and continued: "Look! This is a map drawn by the combat staff of the regiment headquarters. I have a rough look. It's at least ten kilometers from here to the artillery position of the Red Army, but it's only a straight-line distance on the map, and the specific distance is not very clear. Along the way, you have to break through at least two Red Army blockades. Of course, this is what we know at the moment, We don't know how many unknown blockades there are. Secret infiltration, long-distance attack, and then suddenly launch an attack to remove the enemy's artillery position in one fell swoop. You see, do you have the confidence to complete this task? "

Xiao Yong carefully studied the palm sized sketch, then listened to the company commander's rough analysis in a few words, and immediately felt that this was an absolutely difficult and arduous task, which was definitely not so easy to complete. The company commander just said that this task is difficult and arduous, which is by no means exaggerated and sensational.

Speaking from the bottom of my heart, it is so difficult and arduous to think that Xiao Yong's heart is really bottomless. The artillery position of the Red Army is their focus of firepower and a sharp blade in attack and defense. In an untimely word, it can be called their lifeblood! How can we not strengthen prevention?

Moreover, they have just sent a secret team to sneak attack on the artillery position of the blue army. At this time, if they sneak attack on their artillery position, it will undoubtedly hit the blade with their head!

However, this was explained by the superior. He believed that no matter how hard it is, it must be unconditionally promised. He must not only promise, but also promise with confidence. At least, he must show the necessary attitude of resolutely completing the task, but also be extremely firm.

At any time, there is no bargaining between soldiers at higher and lower levels.

"Yes! Guarantee to complete the task!" Thinking of Xiao Yong here, he stood up and leaned on his feet. His face was immediately solemn and replied very seriously.

"I know this task is very difficult and arduous, but there is no way. You personally participated in the battle during the day. It is so fierce and even tragic. Not only our company, but also the whole regiment suffered heavy losses. Our regiment can no longer organize a decent attack, so we must turn the situation at the lowest cost to get the final result Do you know what I mean? " Looking at the second phase sergeant with firm surface in front of him, Yu zhanhu's face became indifferent and his tone softened accordingly.

"Yes! Company commander! Please rest assured that we will try our best to complete the task. We will never lose face." Xiao Yong continued his face, leaned his heel symbolically, and replied sonorously and forcefully.

"Good boy! Listen to this, I'm fucking angry. What, do you have any difficulties and requirements? Do you need to add a few people to your class?" Yu zhanhu smiled, punched Xiao Yong's chest gently and asked.

"Report! There are difficulties, but there are no requirements. Five people in our class are enough. There is no need to supplement. If there are many people, it is easy to expose the target." Although Xiao Yong answered openly at this time, with a nose and eyes, he actually had his own abacus in his heart.

The company commander gave the secret operation to his own class. The success or failure depends on the class. If several soldiers from other classes are added, the task will be successfully completed by then. How can the credit be calculated? Moreover, secret infiltration and sneak attacks should not be crowded.

For example, thieves steal. Who has ever seen a thief in a massive group?

Next, Xiao Yong discussed with company commander Yu zhanhu, turned around and quickly gathered the other four soldiers of class 1.

At this time, there were only two first-class soldiers, Cheng Chong and Meng Lang, as well as a first-class sergeant. There were only five people in the first class.

Xiao Yong quickly took out the inaccurate sketched map, explained the task in a few words, then picked up the company commander's words and repeated them to the soldiers in the class, and then quickly took action.

The soldiers of class 1 immediately understood the difficulty and importance of this task. The officers and soldiers of the whole regiment watched them helplessly! They are one in a hundred elites of the whole regiment. Now it's time for them to show their value.

In any case, we must complete this difficult but extremely important task! The five soldiers in class one made up their minds secretly.

All soldiers immediately counted their equipment and checked their backpacks. They could not leave less of what should be left, and could not leave any superfluous. They checked again and again and streamlined them one by one. Then they painted thick oil on their muddy faces.

After all preparations were in place, under the leadership of squad leader Xiao Yong, the four soldiers rushed to the enemy line at night and quickly disappeared into the lush Secret Forest and thick night.

When approaching the Red Army's defensive line, everyone became highly cautious. Because it is a collective action of the team, an inadvertent small action of any person may expose everyone, which directly affects whether the whole secret team can successfully complete the task.

According to the available information, Xiao Yong secretly took the four soldiers in his class to a relatively open jungle. At the same time, from the point of view of common sense of war, it should belong to the area where the defense of the Red Army troops is relatively weak, because such an area is relatively open and the defense front is too long, which is not as easy to defend as roads, valleys and depressions.

Xiao Yong happened to choose the secret penetration point here.

After the five people quietly arrived in the area, they quickly lurked down on the spot. The five people immediately held their breath and looked around in great detail. There was no abnormality, so they took action.

Xiao Yong made a forward gesture, but saw that the first sergeant took the lead, quietly jumped out, lowered his body as much as possible, climbed forward quickly and quietly, and waded through a path in the sparse bushes and thatchs.

At the moment, he is charged with the task of opening the way for the whole team. The other four people were still lurking in place, motionless, four pairs of eyes watching closely the every move of the first sergeant, and preparing for all emergencies.

The first sergeant quickly climbed out of nearly 20 meters and suddenly stopped as if he had an electric shock.

The four people in the back were surprised when they saw this situation, and then everyone's hearts were hung high.

What happened?

Through the headset, Xiao Yong quickly asked with concern.

"Mine! Squad leader! I hit a mine, but it doesn't matter. I can handle it myself. Don't come here." The first sergeant gasped and replied intermittently.

"I'll help!" Cheng Chong and ye Xiaochuan said almost at the same time.

"Don't go anywhere!" Xiao Yong, the monitor, stopped quickly, stared at the beads, looked back at the three soldiers around him, then put on the dignity of the monitor, and then said, "let's see the situation first. No one can act rashly without Lao Tzu's order!"

Cheng Chong and ye Xiaochuan then bowed their heads without saying a word, quietly continued to lie in place, and continued to pay close attention to the first sergeant who was carefully demining ahead.

At that moment, time was like a river and stream in winter, frozen and no longer flowing forward.

Although only three or five minutes had passed, the four people felt in a trance that three or five hours had passed.

At the moment, every minute is so painful and worrying.

"Monitor! Why don't I go and help! I'm afraid he can't handle it in a short time!" Meng Lang, who has always been lying on his stomach and silent, suddenly spoke, which is not like his character, which has always been very clever. It can be seen that he is a little out of breath at the moment.

"There's chicken feathers in your ears, isn't it? Didn't you hear that I just said not to act rashly?" In fact, Xiao Yong, who is the monitor and the leader of the secret operation team, is also very anxious at the moment, but he understands the priorities more deeply and knows the tasks and burdens on his shoulders. Moreover, some things can't come in a hurry. If everyone rushes into mass action, they may not be able to help anything, they may also help, but they will help more and more.

In particular, the work of mine clearance requires the deminers to be extremely careful and cautious, not to be careless at all, and he doesn't know whether there are other dangers around. He doesn't want his whole secret team to be reimbursed here.

Continue to wait anxiously

"How's it going?" A moment later, Xiao Yong himself asked a little impatiently.

"Squad leader, this is a series of mines. I may not be able to eliminate them, and I'm not sure if there are other mines around. All of you retreat! Hurry! Don't worry about me!" In the ear, the first sergeant said very heavily word by word. He had decided to give up himself.

"You can't give up any comrades in arms!" While talking, regardless of anything, Cheng Chong jumped up quickly and moved quickly to the first sergeant.

But just before he moved forward for less than three or four meters, a series of sounds suddenly exploded, which almost disturbed the whole dark jungle.

It can be seen that the first sergeant was afraid that other comrades in arms would come forward to help him and rescue him, thus dragging down other comrades in arms. Therefore, he would rather trigger mines by himself than "die in battle" with other comrades in arms.

However, after all, it was just an exercise. The mines planted by the Red Army were specially treated. When the mines exploded, they were only loud, but their power was very small, just like firecrackers set off in the new year.

However, as soon as the sound of Mines rang out, there were at least three fire points in the jungle in front of them, which immediately fired wildly near the explosion point of the serial mine. Those fire points were intertwined to form cross fire, which tightly blocked the way for the other four people to continue to infiltrate secretly.

Because the first sergeant had been "killed in battle", he saved other comrades in arms and the secret operation team at the cost of his own "life".
