Twenty-two, half past two in the morning.
In the position, the soldiers of the teaching brigade were hurriedly preparing the fortifications, and even the friendly officers and soldiers behind them went to the position, but not many people noticed that a fierce battle in the dark night had completely wiped out the sleepiness and fatigue of the soldiers, and concentrated all their attention in front of the battle.
All the soldiers moved, carrying weapons and ammunition, clearing the bullet casings and empty ammunition boxes in the trenches, counting the casualty figures, while Zhang Wei led people to patrol the positions of each squadron, during which the casualty figures of each part were also reported to Zhang Wei.
Because the Japanese army's white-knuckle assault was successfully strangled and blocked on the positive slope by the teaching brigade, and its light machine gun and grenadier firepower were high underground, and the teaching brigade above the high ground did not produce much damage, so the overall casualties of the teaching brigade were not large, one, two, three, among the three squadrons, the casualties of the third squadron were relatively large, because the third squadron suffered several grenades fired by the 89 type heavy grenade canisters, killing five people and wounding three people, and it was the unit that suffered the greatest combat losses among the infantry squadrons and engineer platoons participating in the battle.
Three infantry squadrons, as well as an engineer platoon and a squadron of heavy fire, totaled fifteen killed and ten wounded, with modest losses.
Compared with the night attack on the Japanese army of more than 60 people, more than half of the casualties, the loss of the teaching brigade can be negligible, of course, this is without counting the casualties of the friendly 598th Regiment, if the casualties of the friendly troops are included, this exchange comparison, I am afraid it will not be very good-looking "Erli, change the firing position of the mortar, according to the way you played just now, the devil must have remembered the location of the mortar position."
Zhang Wei said to platoon commander Dong Erli on the firing position of the mortar platoon, on the ground of the firing position, the ammunition box of the mortar shells that were urgently opened during the battle, and the bulk propellant packs, and the paper cloth were thrown to the ground, and the soldiers of the mortar platoon were picking up, and the muzzles of the two 82 mortars were still emitting bursts of hot gas.
"Understood, captain, I'll take these boys to move when the cannon barrel is cold."
Dong Erli replied.
Zhang Wei patted Dong Erli: "Get busy." ” Behind him, one of Zhang Wei's heralds ran over quickly.
"Report to the captain, the commander of the friendly army Gao led the team to the position, on the slope of the mountain behind, please go over" "Oh" The Gaoji people arrived with reinforcements, and they were still waiting on the halfway slope behind "Let's go, let's see."
Zhang Wei walked to the halfway slope behind the position Zhang Wei rushed to the back hillside, and saw not only Gaoji people, but also several staff officers, guards, etc., about an infantry company's 598th Regiment soldiers, carrying a considerable amount of ammunition supplies, Zhang Wei felt that it should be replenished to the teaching brigade.
And beside Gao Jiren, there was also a detained officer, and then the bright light of the flare in front of the position, Zhang Wei saw that Gao Jiren's face was ugly, the detained officer, the steel helmet and armament, and all the equipment were removed, the upper body of the regular uniform was open, with his head down, tied up with hemp rope, and two soldiers with shell guns were watching.
What kind of battle is this, Zhang Wei didn't understand it for a while.
"Brother, my people are not holding the position well, and they have lost the position on the positive slope, and I will compensate you here."
Zhang Wei has not taken the initiative to salute Gao Jiren, and Gao Jiren took the initiative to "apologize" to Zhang Wei. ” Gao Jiren said well, the friendly infantry company guarding the slope was indeed almost meaningless in battle, but Zhang Wei couldn't put up a stand in front of Gao Jiren, and hurriedly replied in a humble tone.
"The sir's words are serious."
"Needless to say, if there is a mistake, it will be punished, this person is the company commander of the fourth company of the second battalion of our regiment who is guarding the positive slope position, and he loses his position quickly, and he leads the troops to rout faster."
Gojiren's tone was full of fierceness, and he turned his head and walked towards the detained officer.
Zhang Wei understood at this time that the detained officer was the commander of the defenders of the high ground on the positive slope, and the rout of the friendly army, after retreating, it had always been the first squadron to receive it, Zhang Wei naturally did not know this company commander, but the situation of the friendly rout retreating to the position of the teaching brigade was very appropriate to describe it as miserable and difficult.
Gao Ji people, this time he was really angry, Zhang Wei could feel the murderous spirit and anger on Gao Ji people, the 200th Division made great progress in the afternoon operation, and the battle went smoothly, but the company commander made a command mistake in the middle of the night, resulting in a surprise attack by the Japanese army, and almost let the family attack the high ground, which was simply slapping him in the face of Gao Ji and the 598th Regiment Zhang Wei watched from the sidelines, watching Gao Jiren walk towards the detained company commander.
As the Goji approached the officer, he shouted loudly.
"Zhao Deyi, do you know your sins" The detained officer lowered his head and said with some stumbling: "Tuanza, you know your mistakes in your humble position." ” This "Zhao Deyi" company commander has a very low voice.
Gao Jiren snorted: "You have no command, resulting in heavy losses in the troops, a company of soldiers, less than half of the collection, but also lost the position, as the commander of a company, led the team to retreat, like a rout, disrupted the ranks, you can confess guilt" "Guilty plea" "Hmph, okay, you are from the army, you know the rules of the army, today, if you can't escape death, you have to let you die on this high ground, you lost your position, let the company suffer heavy losses, you also know the rules, this is also for you to understand."
Gao Jiren said in front of hundreds of people.
Zhao Deyi, the company commander who was detained, suddenly raised his head that had been lowered: "Tuanzao, I have something to ask for" "Say," Gao Jiren did not refuse the last request of the company commander.
"I can't lead the troops, and I have cheated the brothers, but those remaining brothers, platoon commanders, and deputy company commanders still hope that the regiment will spare them, and the order to retreat is from me, and it is none of their business."
Company Commander Zhao's eyes were full of pleading.
Zhang Wei thought to himself, the battle just now was like that bird, this person was not wronged when he was shot, but it was also interesting enough for his subordinates, and he saved all the officers such as the platoon commander and deputy company commander.
Gao Jiren didn't reply, but only nodded at Company Commander Zhao.
Company Commander Zhao seemed to be greatly satisfied, let out a sigh of relief, and lowered his head again.
Then an officer walked out and read out the order for the execution in front of more than a hundred people, in full view of everyone.
"At present, Zhao Deyi, the commander of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 598th Regiment of the 200th Division, was unfavorable to garrison the high ground on the slope of Luotang, lost his ground and lost his people, and his headquarters was like a rout, and the company lost more than half of the company, which almost caused the loss of the main position in Luotang.
A short order decided the life of a captain and company commander, and two soldiers with shell guns detained Company Commander Zhao in a distant open space in front of everyone.
"Bang" "Bang" The two crisp gunshots were so deafening, and after the gunshots, silence returned to the rear of the high ground.
The gust of night wind blew, and Zhang Wei stood there, only feeling that the weather was really cold. ：。
