"The higher command has decided that our Ninth Company, as the spearhead company, must resolutely complete the mission. Fang Zhenhua."
"You and Jin Kailai will lead the elite platoon and charge fiercely towards Hill 323."
The enemy defending Hill 323 numbered no less than a battalion, and with its numerous bunkers, it was a tough nut to crack.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to get through it.
Fang Zhenhua and Liang Sanxi went together to conduct close reconnaissance.
At this moment, a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old came to Liang Sanxi's side and said something.
"Company commander, these bunkers are within 50 meters; an 82mm shoulderless gun can hit them every time."
This young man was a key member temporarily added before the war; he came from the capital.
His identity was extremely secretive, but Fang Zhenhua recognized him at a glance.
This young man is named Lei Kaihua, and his father is none other than the army commander Lei Zhen, who is known as "Lord Lei".
It is a piece of real gold, just like Zhao Mengsheng.
It was such a pity that Lei Kaihua sacrificed his life.
Chapter 8 Saving Lei Kaihua
Looking at Hill 323 and listening to Lei Kaihua's words, Liang Sanxi finally made up his mind.
"The attack will begin at dawn."
After Liang Sanxi gave the order, Lei Kaihua immediately spoke.
"Company commander, I'm going to take down the bunker."
"Marshal, that's for the future. Right now, I'm just a soldier under your command."
Liang Sanxi patted Lei Kaihua on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction. Lei Kaihua was a backbone member who had been transferred from the army and was a professional shoulderless gunner.
Fang Zhenhua was right next to the two of them, and after hearing this, he immediately chimed in.
"Company commander, let me help this comrade with loading the ammunition."
The bunkers on Hill 323 were the toughest nut to crack for the entire Ninth Company; they had to be gnawed down even if it meant biting them with your teeth.
At night, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company rested at the foot of the mountain. Lei Kaihua leaned against Liang Sanxi, a potential marshal, who was now just a new recruit.
But he, like all the soldiers in our army, had a fearless spirit; even a marshal had to blow up a pillbox.
Fang Zhenhua, Jin Kailai, and Zhao Mengsheng were lying together when Old Jin asked with a smile.
"What? Missing your wife?"
"Who has time to think about her at a time like this?" Zhao Mengsheng smiled, then asked Fang Zhenhua on the other side.
"Zhenhua, do you have a wife?"
Jin Kailai nudged Zhao Mengsheng with his elbow.
"Look at what you're saying! When Zhenhua joined the army, he had just graduated from high school. Where was he supposed to find a wife?"
"Zhenhua, do you want a wife?"
Fang Zhenhua stared blankly at Zhao Mengsheng, and even Jin Kailai, who was standing next to him, perked up his ears; listening to gossip is human nature.
“My sister-in-law is the same age as you. I’ll introduce you two after the war is over.”
"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up and thank the instructor."
Jin Kailai quickly nudged Fang Zhenhua. He knew Zhao Mengsheng's background all too well; could his sister-in-law be an ordinary person?
In the entire company, no one doted on Fang Zhenhua more than Jin Kailai.
"Platoon leader, I'm just afraid that the female comrades won't like me."
"What's there to look down on? After this battle is over, you'll definitely get a second-class merit, if not a first-class merit. You'll be a national hero."
"As long as you agree, I'll take care of the rest."
Fang Zhenhua never expected that such a good thing would happen to him, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.
At dawn, Liang Sanxi gave the order to attack.
Lei Kaihua carried the Type 82mm shoulderless cannon, while Fang Zhenhua followed behind him carrying the shells.
The two arrived at the foot of Hill 323. Fang Zhenhua took out a shell and stuffed it into the rear of the Type 82 mortar.
Lei Kaihua aimed at the location of the bunker.
With a "snap," the stink bomb exploded.
Fang Zhenhua's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed another shell, only to find it was a dud.
Just as Lei Kaihua was stunned, Fang Zhenhua suddenly tackled him to the ground.
A burst of bullets swept by, one of which grazed Fang Zhenhua's arm, and blood fell onto Lei Kaihua's face.
Lei Kaihua shouted immediately.
"Brother Fang."
"It's nothing, I just grazed my arm. Don't worry about me, blow up the bunker."
Despite the pain in his arm, Fang Zhenhua's fearless spirit remained undeterred. He endured the pain, took out another shell, and inserted it into the shoulderless cannon.
Lei Kaihua adjusted his mindset, pulled the trigger, and a shell was fired, hitting the enemy's bunker squarely.
With a loud bang, the entire bunker was destroyed.
Just as Fang Zhenhua was about to retrieve another shell, Jin Kailai ran over, grabbed his arm, looked at it, and then shouted loudly.
"Medical worker, medical worker."
"Platoon leader, I'm fine."
"Shut up, step back, I'll load the ammunition."
After the medic arrived, he cut open the uniform with scissors, examined it carefully, and then said...
"Platoon Leader Jin, the bullet grazed us, it's not a big problem. I'll bandage up Comrade Zhenhua."
Jin Kailai said angrily at this moment.
"You were too reckless just now."
"Platoon leader, if I hadn't tackled him, he would have been dead."
As Fang Zhenhua's wounds were being bandaged, he pointed at Lei Kaihua and spoke.
At this moment, Lei Kaihua looked at Fang Zhenhua with gratitude.
"Brother Fang, thank you for earlier."
“We are all comrades-in-arms in the revolution, it is only right for us to save you on the battlefield.”
Lei Kaihua lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke to his savior.
"My name is Lei Kaihua, you can call me Kaihua from now on!"
"Comrade Kaihua, you must be careful on the battlefield in the future! Health is the foundation of revolution."
Jin Kailai patted Fang Zhenhua on the head and scolded him.
"You dare to criticize others? Why don't you take care of your own safety? You're the only son in your family. What will your sister and brother-in-law do if something happens to you?"
Fang Zhenhua grinned, and seeing him like this, Jin Kailai finally couldn't bear to continue scolding him.
"Be careful and don't be so reckless."
"Yes, platoon leader."
In the following period, Fang Zhenhua's three-man team, relying on an 82mm shoulderless gun, took down nine enemy bunkers, laying a solid foundation for the Ninth Company to capture Hill 323.
Hill 323 is an isolated peak with no way to get to it; the only way is to fight your way up.
With bandages wrapped around his arm and a Type 56 light machine gun in his hand, Fang Zhenhua swept the hilltop with fire along the mountain path.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company, like a pack of tigers, launched a charge on the high ground using a three-on-three tactic.
The enemy wanted to escape, but couldn't. They could only fight like cornered beasts, relying on their high ground to hold out desperately.
A burst of bullets struck in front of Fang Zhenhua, who reacted extremely quickly, taking tactical evasion by landing on the ground.
The advance of the spearhead platoon was somewhat halted by the enemy's resistance. Jin Kailai crawled over from behind and asked Fang Zhenhua.
"Can we make it?"
"The enemy's firepower is very strong, it's not easy to charge."
Jin Kai looked at the terrain and found a gentle slope next to him, with a path at the bottom of the slope.
"Let's go this way and take a look."
Fang Zhenhua used both his hands and feet to climb down the gentle slope, with enemy bullets whizzing overhead; the firepower was fierce.
He, Jin Kailai, and several soldiers from the elite platoon took a roundabout route, only to find themselves behind enemy lines.
At this point, the offensive and defensive positions are in different spheres.
Our soldiers now occupy the high ground.
Fang Zhenhua led his elite platoon out from behind the enemy lines, brandishing a Type 56 light machine gun and unleashing a barrage of fire at the enemy troops on the position.
Da da da~ Da da da~
Wherever his gun went, all the enemies were riddled with bullets.
However, the elite platoon also suffered heavy casualties, and at this point, only Fang Zhenhua and Jin Kailai remained standing.
After running out of machine gun ammunition, Fang Zhenhua rolled on the ground to dodge, picked up a Type 56 assault rifle, and opened fire on the enemy.
At this moment, Liang Sanxi and Zhao Mengsheng, leading the soldiers of the Ninth Company, charged up the hill.
The reinforcements for the elite platoon have arrived.
Under the combined attack from both sides, the remaining enemy forces on the high ground were wiped out, and the Ninth Company captured Hill 323.
After Fang Zhenhua and Jin Kailai rejoined the company, Zhao Mengsheng carried a light machine gun, looking quite relaxed.
"Company commander, report to battalion headquarters!"
Chapter 9: True Gold Covered in Dust, Reborn
After Zhao Mengsheng finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly rang out.
Fang Zhenhua was the first to react, and he roared.
"Instructor, lie down."
As soon as Zhao Mengsheng turned his head, Fang Zhenhua rushed over at top speed and kicked Zhao Mengsheng to the ground.
Several bullets struck Fang Zhenhua, and he immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai were furious upon seeing this.
Zhao Mengsheng looked on incredulously, then he scrambled over.
"Zhenhua, Zhenhua."
Blood bloomed into a dazzling flower on Fang Zhenhua's chest. Zhao Mengsheng turned his head sharply and realized that there was an enemy bunker below the high ground.
At this moment, Zhao Mengsheng looked in the direction of the bunker, his eyes wide open, revealing a burning desire for revenge.
He brandished his Type 56 assault rifle and unleashed a burst of fire towards the bunker. Enemy bullets struck the earthen slope in front of him, and Liang Sanxi rushed over and pulled Zhao Mengsheng to the ground.
"Instructor, instructor, calm down."
But at this moment, Zhao Mengsheng was completely consumed by the rage of revenge. He was still trying to introduce a wife to Fang Zhenhua, but this young man had just been shot while trying to save him.
"Give me grenades, give me grenades."
Zhao Mengsheng now resembles a bloodthirsty demon emerging from the deepest hell, exuding murderous intent.
He snatched a bundle of grenades from the soldier's hand, then shoved Liang Sanxi aside and roared.
"You cover me."
