chapter Five
The sun sets in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.
The Gui army's offensive that lasted for a day stopped for the first time. Obviously, they did not want to fight at night.
This is undoubtedly good news for the Red 34th Division.
It meant that they could finally take a good rest after fighting for a whole day.
Night falls slowly, and smoke curls up.
Yang Dingguo also returned to the army and brought back good news again. He found a large amount of supplies, including many cans and medicines.
Although it's not a lot, at least they don't have to go hungry anymore, and the wounded don't have to worry about not having medication.
Yang Dingguo felt relieved after watching the medical staff use penicillin on Mr. Chen.
"Sir, you have to take good care of your injuries. You are our backbone and you have to get well soon!"
As he spoke, Yang Dingguo took out a can he had just heated and placed it on the table.
"Teacher, I prepared this specially for you. It's hot and delicious."
Master Chen didn't hesitate, picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat. He knew that Yang Dingguo had found a lot of supplies, including a large number of cans, so he wasn't worried that other soldiers wouldn't be able to eat them. Otherwise, he wouldn't know what the cans said. food.
Just as he was about to eat it, Mr. Chen was stunned when he saw a few white bird eggs in the can. They were obviously not from the can.
Looking at Yang Dingguo's hands behind his back, Mr. Chen felt warm in his heart. This boy was not treating him well in vain.
"Tell me what you did today?"
Commander Chen really wanted to know the results of Yang Dingguo's battle today. After all, the Gui army's machine guns were suppressed by him alone and had no chance to fire. They must have killed a lot of people.
"Commander, you actually didn't do much. You just killed a few enemies and found some supplies that the enemies didn't have time to take away."
Listen, is this human language?
The soldiers sitting around looked at Yang Dingguo's slightly arrogant look, and they all wanted to go up and give him a "love touch".
Mr. Chen was also stunned. He instinctively raised his hand to give it to Yang Dingguo. However, when he thought about the large amount of supplies he had found today, he silently took his hand back and continued eating cans.
What's more, what they said was right, they did kill some people and found some supplies.
When he thought of this, Master Chen immediately became energetic and said quickly: "Dingguo, how did you practice your marksmanship? You are so accurate. Tell your comrades about it and let them learn from it too."
Yang Dingguo's performance was later noticed by Mr. Chen.
At the same time, he also knew that the main reason why Yang Dingguo was able to suppress the Gui Army's machine gunners on his own, apart from his good marksmanship, was due to battlefield restrictions.
The two sides concentrated on the main street at Maple Tree Foot for the battle. The place was so big that the Gui Army could not arrange many machine gunners in front.
Because of this, Yang Dingguo can suppress them by himself.
If we go to other battlefields in the future and the scene becomes bigger, Yang Dingguo alone will not be able to suppress all the local firepower points.
It's impossible to let him run around on the battlefield alone, so that he doesn't have to be killed by the enemy and he himself will be exhausted.
Therefore, Master Chen wants to train more sharpshooters, so that the frontal pressure can be reduced a lot in future battles.
Hearing this topic, the surrounding soldiers became more energetic. They stopped eating the food in their hands and looked at Yang Dingguo one by one.
In today's whole day of fighting, the most outstanding person was Yang Dingguo. He single-handedly suppressed all the machine gunners of the Gui Army so that they did not dare to fire.
They also hope to master such marksmanship so that they can kill more enemies and kill fewer comrades in the future.
Yang Dingguo thought for a while and said, "Commander, if you want your comrades to improve their marksmanship, you must have enough bullets for training."
This is indeed the case, but how could Commander Chen not know the current situation of the Red Army? The reason why he asked just now was because he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Damn it, I'm still too greedy. Even if Dingguo burns high incense alone, why would he want to do so much?
Shaking his head, Mr. Chen planned to talk about something else.
"But~~~"
As soon as these two words were spoken, Mr. Chen almost lost control of his left hand.
What a good boy, you still breathe heavily when you talk, right?
For a moment, Mr. Chen looked at Yang Dingguo with a somewhat unpredictable look.
Seeing this, Yang Dingguo didn't dare to complain, so he hurriedly took off the gun from his back and handed it to Master Chen.
"Commander, look at the scope on my gun. It's similar to the telescope you use. It can see the enemy from hundreds of meters away. It's very useful."
"As long as you put this scope on the gun and teach it, anyone can hit the enemy from a distance of three to four hundred meters."
Oh my god, is there such a good thing?
Master Chen raised the 98k in his hand and looked into the distance through the scope. Sure enough, it was exactly as Yang Dingguo said. There was a cross in the middle. He should aim at the enemy with the middle of the cross.
"Dingguo, how many more of these scopes do you have?"
"Can you teach our soldiers?"
After speaking, Mr. Chen looked at Yang Dingguo with some expectancy in his eyes.
"Commander, I brought these back from abroad. There are not many of them. There are only fifteen in total. I am using these two and there are 13 more in my box."
Forming a sniper squad is an idea that Yang Dingguo has had for a long time. After all, snipers play a very powerful role on the battlefield, but it has never been easy to take the initiative. Now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely not miss it.
"Commander, you can find fourteen comrades from our entire division who are good at marksmanship. I will teach them personally. Tomorrow we will defeat the Gui army and they will not be able to find the north."
Mr. Chen was immediately excited. In his mind, it would be good to have two or three more. He didn't expect that there would be more than a dozen, which was unimaginable.
Time waits for no one, so Commander Chen immediately ordered to summon the soldiers with the best marksmanship in the division.
As soon as everyone gathered, Yang Dingguo was taken away to teach.
"Teacher, there is a call from Zhongge."
The correspondent took out a telegram and looked at the contents on it. Mr. Chen frowned.
"The main force is crossing the river, and the 34th Division will hold off Gui Army Xia Wei's troops at the foot of Maple Tree for more than two days."
Putting down the telegram in his hand and looking at the soldiers around him, Commander Chen was silent. He knew that two days was only the most basic. According to the current forward speed of Zhongge, it was impossible to cross the river in two days.
With so much baggage, it would be impossible to complete the crossing in less than four or five days.
But, can we still hold on until then?
The joy caused by Yang Dingguo was broken by a sudden telegram.
A major strategic shift was abruptly turned into a "relocation operation". I really don't know how this battle was fought.
Such an obvious strategic mistake, why didn't anyone stop it?
Don't those two people know that every minute and every second is bought by the soldiers with their lives?
Commander-in-Chief, we need you!
Tears fell silently.
