"This is the situation!" The company commander spread out a map in front of us and said, "My 14th Army troops are attacking Gantang with all their might. The enemy 345th Division stationed at Gantang is the enemy's 316A Division. It is roughly estimated that Dalan has a regiment's strength, and it is still increasing continuously. The task of the 316A Division... is to reinforce Gantang's 345th Division through Highway 10, and cooperate with the 345th Division's troops to attack Laojie. Our mission is to tightly block the enemy's neck and prevent the enemy from passing, so as to ensure that Gantang's battle is smooth! In other words, as long as we persist until Gantang's victory, the enemy will fail!"

I felt very angry when I heard this - Damn it! In Gantang, our army was fighting against an enemy division, and all the cannons were used for them... That was to use a knives to kill chickens! We used three times the superior force to deal with a third-rate Vietnamese military advisor, and what about us? We used a regiment of recruits to deal with an enemy 316A Division.

They didn't think about what division this 316A Division was? The model division of the Vietnamese Japanese! They are top-notch in terms of weapons and equipment and military qualities. What I can't stand is that we are talking about a regiment of our 316A Division, but in fact, we are all in front of us. The reason why the enemy has not eaten our company has not eaten up because their troops cannot be deployed on a large scale on the road and cannot pull out our nails.

"Why don't your superiors give us reinforcements?" I asked this question, because I knew that asking other things is useless, and it would be more realistic to ask for reinforcements.

The company commander cleared his throat, took a deep breath before pointing to the map with difficulty and said, "The superiors' arrangement is like this. Our main force arranged the defense along the 528.3 highland, 391 highland, and 263 highland, preparing to fight the enemy to the death. Moreover... the superiors always believed that the enemy was playing the trick of fighting the east and west, so..."

When I heard this, I understood that the superiors did not take our highland of 239 with little elevation seriously, nor did they even put us in the defense line. However, this seems to be understandable. If we put our highland in the defense line, it will form a protrusion and will easily be besieged and broken through by the enemy. But... since they have given up on this highland, why do they still let us guard here!

"Company Commander!" Scar said my heart, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Since the superiors do not intend to ask us for the 239th high ground, why not let us retreat?"

"Fight for time!" The company commander smiled bitterly and said, "The longer we defend, the more time other troops will have to prepare!"

"Prepare a ball!" Scar punched the map hard and cursed without hesitation: "I think they were frightened by the Japanese ace troops!"

"Scar!" the instructor shouted, "Don't talk nonsense! The superiors have arrangements from superiors. The superiors consider the victory of the entire battlefield and start from the overall strategic situation. The plans formulated will inevitably conflict with our immediate interests, but from the perspective of long-term interests and the overall interests of the troops, the superiors' considerations make sense!"

The instructor said this and said Scar, he was speechless, but I was smiling bitterly in my heart - the facts have proved that my superiors’ consideration this time was wrong!

But even if I know these, I am powerless. I am just a small platoon leader. My power is not as great as what I say can affect the decision-making of the entire regiment. Besides, what should I say about this? Should I also tell them that I am a modern person and that the Japanese did not make a fuss until the end of this battle?

"Company Commander, Instructor!" The last speech was Liang Lianbing. He was obviously dissatisfied with his superior's arrangement and said in a muffled voice: "We can only obey the orders of our superiors, but... after fighting these few battles, our bullets are almost gone! Then we can't fight with the Vietnamese Japanese! "

Liang Lianbing's words made my eyes lit up. Oh my, why didn't I expect ammunition? If the ammunition is not replenished, even if we sacrificed all of them here, we can't stop the Japanese devils, right?

So I immediately added fire and said, "Yes, we don't have much ammunition. I guess the Japanese will charge two more... we will have no bullets to deal with it!"

The fact is that the guns and bullets of the Vietnamese Japanese are completely common to our troops. In addition, the Vietnamese army charges and our army can often replenish ammunition from the Vietnamese army... So although the bullets are tense, they are not as exaggerated as I said.

"We have reported this issue to our superiors long ago!" The company commander nodded and said, "Comrades, don't be anxious. The superiors have sent us a supply team. It is estimated that it will arrive in two hours."

I couldn't help feeling disappointed when I heard this answer. How I hoped that the words from the company commander would say were: Because the mountains are high and the road is steep, the troops are unable to supply, so it is really not possible... Just withdraw after the bullet is fired!

But I know that this is just a luxury and a beautiful dream.

So there is only one way left, that is, to defend here until the Vietnamese army kills us all, or our army breaks through the defense line of the 345th Division first.

Now it's like a game. The protagonists are the 316A Division of the Vietnam Army and the 14th Army of ours. The supporting roles are our company and the 345th Division of the Vietnam Army. What we see is which protagonist eats the opponent's supporting role first...

"Comrades!" The instructor broke the silence. He waved his hand and said, "The situation we have to face is difficult and the task is also arduous, but... we should also see that the superiors handed over such a arduous task to us is the trust of our company. We must not let down the superiors' expectations of us. Fight this battle well, fight the bloody nature of our second company, and exert the momentum of our 14th Army..."

At this moment, the Vietnamese army suddenly fired more than a dozen shells, and a "boom..." sound of "boom..." interrupted the instructor's lesson. I couldn't help but secretly thanked in my heart: I have never liked enemy shelling like I am now.

"Company Commander!" After the bombardment, Scar raised the most realistic question: "We haven't been together for a whole day since last night. The soldiers are so tired... At this moment, the Japanese devils are playing this fatigue tactic again. After doing this overnight, I'm worried that the soldiers can still eat it tomorrow..."

"Yeah!" The company commander frowned. He was obviously worried about this issue. In fact, I was afraid that the company commander himself would not be able to stand it anymore.

We can't blame the company commander, nor can we soldiers. We all grew up in peaceful times. Except for a limited number of people like Scar, no one had fought a war a few days ago. In fact, let alone war, we didn't even see the dead. But now, when we are in such a harsh environment, no one can stand this huge contrast. No one can stand it. It's no wonder that some people are afraid to fight and hurt themselves, or want to be deserters.

Suddenly, I remembered what the old man said: "That devil is so unintentional that he keeps shooting artillery at night and will not let us sleep. The devils would never have thought that we were brave enough to attack the Japanese artillery positions at night..."

Sneak attack on the Japanese artillery positions?!!!

I couldn't help but be shocked by this idea. How courage does it take! We are almost exhausted now, and there are only a hundred new recruits in total, and they are still new recruits with heavy casualties... It's all luck to defend them, and can we sneak attack the artillery positions of the Japanese ace troops?

So I made up my mind to hold this idea in my stomach, and I wouldn't say it even if it was left inside and rotten.

But then I thought: If we had not attacked the Vietnamese artillery positions... what would we do if we lost this battle? Just as Scar said just now, let the Vietnamese Japanese harass us for a night, and I was afraid that I could easily attack the next day. Then my life would not be guaranteed?

So I did it instead... Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

So I had to say helplessly: "Company Commander, look... can we sneak attack the Japanese artillery positions?"

"Sneak attack on the Japanese artillery positions?" Everyone was shocked by my words, and even the instructor was no exception.

"You kid are so bold!" Captain Luo smiled bitterly: "We are not familiar with the place and have no idea about the enemy situation. We don't know the deployment of the Vietnamese army or where their artillery positions are. How to attack? Isn't that going to seek death?"

Actually, I didn't think about it either. I had to hold on to the death: "I'm not familiar with the terrain, Chen Yiyi from my platoon can solve it. The enemy situation is unknown... We pretend to be the Vietnamese army and we can't say that we can get through it. As for the location of the artillery position, the Vietnamese Japanese fired a cannon every ten minutes. Let's follow the sound of the cannons and look for it?"

Listening to my words, everyone around them showed a deep thought. After a long time, the company commander nodded and said, "If we can destroy the Japanese artillery positions... it will not only give us a rest, but also give a heavy blow to the enemy's morale and offensive firepower, and our chances of victory will be greatly increased!"

"What the company commander said!" Scar nodded and said, "I am afraid that the Japanese in Yue would never have thought that we, who were already weak, would dare to divide a unit to attack the artillery positions... If it succeeds, then we don't need to do our ideological work anymore. This victory is the best stimulant!"

"I agree too!" Liang Lianbing nodded and said, "The Yue Japanese attacked our artillery battalion just now on the old street, right? Let's just copy it and give the Yue Japanese alike this according to their fighting style..."

Commander Luo thought for a while, bit his teeth, and said, "Okay! Just fight like this, it's a life-and-death anyway, so why not give it a try! Give him a ruthless one!"
