Chapter 476 The Sadness of the River
Yes, Cheng Dahe survived.
The moment before the Japanese army was about to attack, Major Scar fainted the last soldier under his command and buried him in the soft soil that had been bombed by shells.
In order to make him alive, Major Scar even disguised himself as the flesh and blood of himself and the last few seriously injured soldiers. He believed that as long as the Japanese still wanted to fight, they would not use this bloody crater as their position.
As for whether Cheng Dahe in a coma would be killed in the soil, or whether he would not be discovered by his comrades who attacked the hill again, it was not within Major Scar's consideration.
Let him live for the time being without having to die with him, that is, as the battalion commander, he will make his last tactical arrangement.
Major Scar succeeded. The last soldier of the Sharp Knife Company under his command survived tenaciously. The Japanese, who were shocked by his flesh and blood, were instinctively far away from the crater, which made them not find that the soldiers buried in the shallow soil, and the soft soil also had enough gaps to provide the oxygen to maintain their lives for the soldiers who fell into a coma.
But surviving is not necessarily happier than dying, especially for such a young man who only has him in the army.
After experiencing the joy of discovering the survivor, the stingy major also felt ache in his forehead. Even he could not withstand such a cruel blow, let alone a young man.
"Where is this!" The young soldier who was carried on a stretcher and walked in the wilderness opened his eyes blankly, turned his head to look at the dark gray surroundings, and asked.
"Battleman Commander Zhou, he is awake! He is awake!" The two soldiers responsible for carrying the stretcher were so excited that they shouted loudly.
The rushing footsteps sounded, and the stingy major jogged all the way, and several lieutenants followed.
"Boy, you are so good that you finally wake up. Let me tell you that we are two hours on our way home and will be about to meet with our main force!" The stingy major is really gentle at this moment.
It's a little gentler than when he unbuttoned his wife's clothes on his wedding night.
"Sir, have we won this battle?" Cheng Dahe had seen Lao Zhou and his eyes burst into glory.
"Of course, we not only won, but also drove away the 36th Infantry Brigade's thugs. Now there is no one blocking our way. If you sleep for a while, we should go back to the main defense zone of our army at dawn. It's okay." The stingy major nodded fiercely and answered this little lieutenant.
"Where is the battalion commander? I remember he and I were on the position, and there were several brothers!" Cheng Dahe shook his head, still dizzy.
His memory was obviously still at the moment when he was unconscious, and he even forgot that it was his battalion commander who knocked it out with his own hands.
"Old Zhao..." The stingy major could only remain silent.
The officers and soldiers around were silent.
Faced with the only surviving soldiers on this "Guling" position, these iron-blooded soldiers who have experienced countless cruel battlefields cannot tell the truth.
Because, that's too cruel.
A guard company with a number 150 people, only one living him, from this moment on, all his familiar faces will not appear beside him.
No veteran squad leader urged him to keep up with the big army faster, nor would there be any platoon leader roaring and ordering the entire army to enter the position. Even the major battalion commander who stood before the entire battalion told the group of young people that "will be vowed to guard the position to the death." There would be no more major battalion commanders who stood before the entire battalion and told the group of young people that "will be vowed to guard the position to the death."
Because, they are all dead.
A small landfill has laid the responsibility of middle-aged people for life and the passion of young people. Whether it is family, love, or friendship, it is all brought to dust and integrated with the positions they once guarded.
"How is the battalion commander? Are you seriously injured?" Cheng Dahe couldn't help but feel anxious when he couldn't get the answer, but he still had hope in his heart.
In his last memory, he was with the battalion commander. If he could live, the battalion commander should be alive.
After being hit hard, the memory point of Major Scar's personal blow to him completely disappeared. It may be because of a concussion, and the greater possibility is that he chose to forget it.
Footsteps sounded.
"Sir Tang is here!" Someone growled and notified.
Everyone stood solemnly.
Like Major Scar and others, Tang Dao attached great importance to the only remaining young soldiers on this hilly position. As soon as he received the notice of his awakening, he came in person.
Because the living soldiers no longer represent themselves, they are already a flag and a spirit.
Disrespect for this flag and spirit is a blasphemy against the 200 people who died in battle on the hilly positions.
Not to mention Tang Dao, even the three lieutenant generals of the command center stood up collectively and saluted the northwest where the hills were located after receiving the reason that Tang Dao would lead his troops to return one hour late.
The four words "fight to death and never retreat" are easy to say, but it is really rare to see that there are no soldiers left in the entire army until there is no war.
Even ants are greedy for life, let alone the wise humans at the top of the biological chain.
"They all died, your battalion commander, company commander, squad leader, and all your comrades in the hilly positions were sacrificed." Tang Dao walked to Cheng Dahe, who was still lying on the stretcher, and replied firmly. "You are the only one left. Your battalion commander knocked you out and buried you in the soil until we attacked the hilly positions again and found you."
"Are all dead? Even the battalion commander and commander died?" Cheng Dahe was stunned, and his eyes opened wide open even tore the corners of his eyes, causing blood to flow out.
The medical staff beside him carefully took the cotton soaked in clean water to help him wipe away the blood. The soldiers did not react at all, just like clay sculptures.
The officers surrounding him couldn't bear to see his heartbroken appearance anymore, and they all turned their eyes to the distance.
But no matter how cruel it is, people have to face the truth.
"Sorry, soldier, I know this is cruel, but you must accept it, because you are already the last soldier in the first company of the 108th Division Guard Battalion. If you are alive, your company will still be in the first company." Tang Dao continued. "You 108th Division commander has called back to my advance regiment command headquarters and will draw the elite troops of the entire army to rebuild the Sharp Knife Company. You will become the squad leader of the Sharp Knife Company in a row. Your comrades who have already died in battle will jointly apply for collective military merits from the 67th Army, the 43rd Army, and the 128th Division headquarters. Each of them is qualified to receive the medal!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Soldier, your commander is leaving you because he hopes you can rebuild the Sharp Knife Company. Your responsibility is heavy!" Tang Dao looked at Cheng Dahe, who was still as dumb as a wooden corns, and felt very unbearable, but he could only say so.
silence!
The whole audience fell into silence!
The light before dawn came in the sky appeared faintly!
The dull and pale faces of the soldiers reflected under the torch looked a little shrill!
"Kill! Kill the Japanese!" Cheng Dahe roared heart-wrenchingly, tears mixed with blood from the corners of his eyes, and finally rolled down.
No one knew how Cheng Dahe survived that lonely and cold night, but everyone knew that the vanguard company of the 108th Division Guard Battalion was not wiped out.
Before the Southeast Battle ended, the vanguard company was rebuilt. The only remaining captain and company commander of the 108th Division Guard Battalion became the new guard battalion commander. All the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion who survived were promoted to the first level of military rank, and those who died in battle were promoted to the second level of military rank.
Cheng Dahe, as Tang Dahe said, became the new squad leader of the Sharp Knife Squad, but his military rank was not promoted to sergeant, but a second lieutenant.
Because he is the last hope of all the officers and soldiers of the dead guard battalion.
If it weren't for his enlistment years and his rank were too low, according to the temper of the 108th Division, he might have been directly promoted to the lieutenant of the army and served as the company commander of the Sharp Knife Company.
However, the second lieutenant-level squad leader is also a rare phenomenon in the army.
Major Scar, no, it should be Colonel Zhao, and Minister He from the Ministry of Military Affairs personally issued the promotion order for the Army Colonel.
A total of 6 lieutenant generals from the entire Jiashan defense line jointly sent a telegram to the Songhu War Zone Command, and no one dared to ignore it.
What's more, in Songjiang, the 10th Army of the 10th Army of the Japanese Army, blocked the 10th Army of the Jiashan National Defense Line for four days and nights, and several lieutenant generals who had great achievements in the 10th Army of the Japanese Army of the 10th Army of the Jiashan National Defense Line for seven days and nights.
