The last group of teams crossing the river had just crossed one-third of the river when the Gui Army's pursuing troops arrived.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
For the Gui army, the Red Army on the bamboo raft on the river was so conspicuous that they raised their guns and shot without any hesitation.
The soldiers on the bamboo raft also began to fight back.
"Da da da~~~"
Fortunately, the soldiers of the machine gun company stayed at the end, and the sudden burst of powerful firepower caught the Gui army by surprise.
However, the Gui army did not give up. More and more Gui troops appeared and kept shooting at the Red Army on the river. The machine guns kept spitting out tongues of fire.
There was a burst of gunfire.
From time to time, a Red Army soldier would fall down after being shot and fall into the river, with his blood staining the large water area red.
Yang Dingguo and others on the other side of the Xiangjiang River could only rely on the rifles in their hands for support. At such a long distance, submachine guns were useless.
There were too many enemies and the battle line was too long, and the soldiers in the sniper squad could not suppress the Gui army's machine gunners 100%.
"Damn it, why didn't you come earlier, why didn't you come later, but you are here at this time, let's see if I don't beat you idiots to death!"
Yang Dingguo held the 98k and continued to snipe the enemy machine gunners through the scope.
However, these Gui soldiers were like chicken blood. Every one who died would be attacked. In addition, there were a lot of machine guns, and they could not suppress them at all.
On the Xiangjiang River, the blood of the Red Army soldiers has turned the river red. Every time they advance a certain distance, someone will die.
The soldier punting the boat blushed and tried his best to get on faster.
When one person falls, another person will fall on top.
"Da da da~~~"
The gunfire continued.
In just a few minutes, the last group of soldiers crossing the river suffered more than a hundred casualties, and at the same time, they also reached the other side.
As soon as the surviving soldiers of the machine gun company landed, they crawled on the ground and mounted their machine guns to fight back.
They were swaying on the bamboo raft just now and were unable to form an effective counterattack at all.
"You bastards, grandpa wants you to look good today!"
"Instead of going north to fight the little devils, you are chasing us here. You are really embarrassing the rabbit!"
"Damn it, I'll send you to see your grandma today!"
...
Seeing more and more Gui troops on the opposite side, Commander Chen knew that continuing like this was not an option.
Hastily ordered a retreat.
Across a river, it was now impossible for the enemy to catch up.
"Throw a grenade and blow up all the bamboo rafts!"
Following Commander Chen's order, dozens of M24 wooden handle grenades were thrown onto the bamboo raft and underwater.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
A violent explosion sounded, more than 90% of the bamboo rafts were blown up, and dozens of meters-high water splashes exploded on the river.
"retreat!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Commander Chen immediately ordered a retreat.
The troops quickly got into the woods behind them.
Now, they were completely safe.
After continuing to run for more than half an hour, Master Chen gave the order to rest.
Yang Dingguo came to Mr. Chen and wanted to ask him where to go next.
Before he could speak, he noticed Mr. Chen's slightly pale face.
The division commander is injured?
Yang Dingguo felt nervous and hurried to the side of Teacher Chen. He asked softly without changing his expression: "Sir, are you injured?"
"Where is the injury? Is it serious?"
Seeing that Yang Dingguo found out that he was injured, Mr. Chen remained calm and said softly: "It's okay, just a bite on the arm. It's not a big problem."
"Don't tell me!"
Commander Chen knew very well that before finding the main force, he was now the backbone of the team. If something happened, the impact would be huge.
Yang Dingguo naturally understood.
He nodded, then reached out and took out a portion of penicillin from his arms, and handed it to Mr. Chen.
"Teacher, drink it quickly. This is an anti-inflammatory medicine."
"I reserved it specially."
Master Chen took the penicillin in shock, but he did not intend to use it himself. After all, many soldiers were injured in the battle just now, and they also needed it.
Yang Dingguo could tell what Commander Chen was thinking at a glance, and said hurriedly: "Sir, you don't want your comrades to know that you are injured, right?"
Ah this...
Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing these words.
Matching Yang Dingguo's expression, Mr. Chen always felt like he wanted to hit him.
Are all people who come back from abroad like this?
"Teacher, just feel free to use it. We haven't used up the anti-inflammatory medicine we found last time. You don't know how expensive anti-inflammatory medicine is. Even if we lose the gun, we won't throw away the anti-inflammatory medicine. "
That makes sense.
Mr. Chen nodded in agreement.
Then, he was given penicillin in front of Yang Dingguo.
"Division Commander, the casualty statistics have been calculated."
A soldier came over, looking a little depressed.
“In the battle across the river, 63 soldiers were killed and 45 soldiers were injured, 5 of whom were seriously injured and required medical treatment.
We now have a total of 435 people left. "
435 people.
Just, these are the few people left?
Master Chen stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to take the piece of paper from the soldier's hand, but he had to give up because of the severe pain.
Yang Dingguo took the record with quick eyes and hands and handed it to Mr. Chen.
The two of them looked at the series of numbers on it in silence.
Yang Dingguo on the side felt quite uncomfortable. There were only about 400 people left out of the 3,000 people.
He blamed himself a little.
I should be able to do better.
If we buy more weapons and ammunition and train more snipers, maybe so many people won't die.
"Don't think so much. There will always be sacrifices in war. This is inevitable. Is it possible that we won't fight just because people are going to die?"
"When one warrior falls, thousands more will come forward."
"Dingguo, you have to understand that each generation has its own mission. What we have to do now is to fight all the wars that need to be fought so that our future generations will be free from war."
Seeing Yang Dingguo's disappointed look, Mr. Chen naturally knew what he was thinking, because he had experienced these.
"Teacher, I understand, but I just feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable."
"Many of my comrades are even younger than me."
When he thought that he would never see many familiar faces again in the future, tears fell unconsciously from the corners of Yang Dingguo's eyes.
In later generations, children of their age will still grow up carefree under the love and care of their parents and study well in school.
But now, he has to sacrifice his life on a battlefield filled with bullets.
Yang Dingguo admired them very much.
Because they truly lived up to their slogans.
Shedding every last drop of blood for the new rabbit! ! !
But, I feel more distressed!
