Two 7.63 mm pistol bullets were fired with the utmost skill by the two executioners, one in the head and the other in the back, striking the 30-year-old captain-officer, a veteran of seven or eight years in the army.
Perhaps, this Zhao Company Commander, who had risen from the big head soldiers, was still sitting quietly in the main position on the positive slope a few hours ago, worrying about whether he could be promoted in the 200th Division, which had the majority of Whampoa officers, and worried about his future.
Perhaps, he was also thinking about the problem of operation, and used his only combat experience to think about how to use a company's strength to hold the positive slope high ground, but the final result was that his company did not hold the positive slope position on the Luotang high ground.
Under the premise that the 200 divisions made progress one after another, he led the team to a rout, and the moment he ran back to the main position in Luotang from the positive slope, his fate was already doomed.
In the middle of the night, it took less than ten seconds for two 763 bullets to fire, and the company commander who was not in good command and loved his subordinates, and everything was over.
After the execution, the Gaoji people used the head of the company commander to verbally warn the officers accompanying them, and among the officers accompanying the Gaoji people, there were staff officers from the regimental headquarters, as well as officers from other battalions of the 598th Regiment, and officers from all the 598th Regiment and various combat units witnessed the execution.
At the moment when the gun rang out, these officers from various units trembled in their hearts, shooting the captain and company commander of a combat company subordinate to an infantry battalion was not a trivial matter, and the officers all had the same idea in their hearts, that is, they must do their best in wartime, otherwise they would end up with this person who was shot Gao Jiren also ordered in public to inform the entire 598th Regiment of the fact that the company commander was in a bad position and panicked, and in less than a few hours, the news of the company commander's execution would spread throughout the 598th Regiment and even the 200th Division.
After some criticism, the body of the company commander was buried in a bomb crater on the high ground by the executing soldiers.
A company commander was shot overnight, and the entire 598th Regiment was informed, and the commander of the 598th Regiment, Gao Jiren, was using his head to urge the troops to fight, this killing, not only killed an infantry company commander who was derelict in his duties and miscommanded, but also gave a warning to the officers and men of the entire 598th Regiment, and called Zhang Wei to let Zhang Wei see the execution with his own eyes.
If the 4th Company of the 598th Regiment had fought well and persisted quickly, the high ground on the positive slope would not have been lost so quickly, and their operation was unfavorable, but it directly implicated the teaching brigade.
After the public execution, the Gao Ji people first inquired about Zhang Wei's battle situation and the losses of the troops on the high ground, and by the way, they replenished a batch of ammunition to the teaching brigade, including 82 mm mortar shells and 79 heavy machine gun shells that the teaching brigade consumed a lot in the battle, and then accepted and transported the wounded of the teaching brigade in the battle.
After finishing what should be done, Gao Jiren took out a piece of order for Zhang Wei before leaving, and did not say much when he handed over the order to Zhang Wei.
After returning to the position, Zhang Wei laboriously read the order under the bright light of the continuously fired flares, and the order that the Gaoji people threw to Zhang Wei was not brief, and could even be said to be a little lengthy.
The order came from Division Commander Dai of the 200th Division, and the order wrote that the task of the teaching brigade to garrison the main position on the Luotang Heights tonight would remain unchanged, and that the defense of the main position would be handed over to the troops of the 598th Regiment until tomorrow morning, and that the brigade would have another task.
Division Commander Dai asked the teaching brigade to withdraw from the high ground after six o'clock, and reorganize it into a new assault force together with the friendly anti-aircraft artillery and mortars, and continue to besiege the Japanese army.
Division Commander Dai demanded that the brigade "move the existing position to the 598th Regiment of Regiment Commander Gao Jiren before 6 o'clock in the morning, reorganize it with mortars and battle defense artillery, continue the fierce offensive yesterday afternoon, and gather the officers and men of the whole division to annihilate the Japanese army."
"Gathering and Annihilating the Japanese Army" Although the four characters are short, the meaning contained in them is not small at all.
As soon as these four words came out, Zhang Wei understood that Division Commander Dai was going to carry out a general attack, a general attack on the garrison of the Japanese army at Kunlun Pass, and through the recent attack on the Japanese army, its current combat strength was bound to be very small, and the next battle to be fought may be the final encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army.
Zhang Wei cooperated with the 200 divisions to fight for a short time, and there were not many battles, but after these two battles, the combat strength of the Japanese garrison at Kunlun Pass was really consumed, and the 200 divisions in history were not able to completely capture the high ground and key points of the Japanese army, resulting in the progress of the offensive battle was not smooth, and the Japanese army's strength was insufficient.
Zhang Wei thought about it carefully, the Gaoji people deliberately came to the high ground in the middle of the night to shoot the company commander who lost the battle, and presumably also got the start of the general attack on the Japanese army, so he chose to shoot in front of a group of officers at this time node.
Isn't this the re-establishment of the assault force to conquer the Luotang Heights, this Division Commander Dai saw that the battle in the afternoon was quite fruitful, and tasted the sweetness, and wanted the teaching brigade to continue to be the vanguard, to be the main attack, to use the tactics of conquering the Luotang Heights, to attack the remaining Japanese troops, to be the vanguard, to be the main force, Zhang Wei naturally has no opinion, the teaching brigade has to do this kind of work.
After the loss of Luotang, the Japanese army's combat strength decreased, and Zhang Wei thought that the intensity of resistance would rise instead of falling, and the rabbit would bite people when it was anxious, and the Japanese army would inevitably resist more frantically to get rid of the fate of being annihilated and desperately wait for help.
This is the last moment, if the main attack task is handed over to the troops of the 200th Division, the battle will definitely be very fierce, and I am afraid that in the course of the battle, we will have to repeat the previous hard rush and strong attack, and the officers and men will be killed and wounded in vain, and the Japanese position will not be gnawed.
Good people do it to the end, this vanguard task of the general attack, teaching the brigade, is the unshirkable responsibility "Whoosh" A flare that maintained its brightness flew into the air, and the main position on the Luotang Heights was lit up again in an instant, and it also illuminated the soldiers of the teaching brigade in the trenches, and every soldier was seriously guarding the front of the battle.
Zhang Wei put down the order, spit out a breath of turbidity, thinking of tomorrow, the upcoming final general attack, the blood on his body became hot, and the dark night was no longer so cold.
On the front line of the Jieshou Heights, the Japanese soldiers of the Kunlun Pass garrison became more and more cold ：。
