Chapter 6: The Terrifying Experience at Luo River

  Recommend a friend's new book "Playful Countryside", with good writing and wonderful content, worth reading.

  This kid is really making things difficult, Wang Yuzhu had no choice but to shout loudly to his comrades beside him: "Cover!" and fired a bullet first...

  Lin Feng descended to the other side of the dam, still thinking about the Japanese soldier who operated the grenade launcher last time. Last time was too far away and didn't hit him, so this time he wanted to get closer and didn't believe he still couldn't take him down.

  From the south side of the dam to the north side, the distance was shortened a bit, but it's still not enough. If you want to get closer, you have to wade across the river to the other side.

  The Luhe River is not deep, but it's also chest-deep in some areas. When people walk through it, they will be impacted by the water flow and hindered, which will definitely slow down their movement, making them easy targets for the enemy. Moreover, there are occasional explosions of hand grenades thrown from the riverbank, making it extremely difficult to cross the river now. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's a matter of life and death.

  Three consecutive sections.

  The captain of the suicide squad, a company commander, stood beside his battalion commander and said seriously: "Battalion Commander, the Japanese army has already rushed to the Luhe Bridge."

  Sanlian Chang held up his binoculars and scanned the battlefield, saying faintly: "I know."

  Let's just call him the captain of the suicidal squad, after all, he is leading the suicidal squad now. The captain of the suicidal squad asked again: "Are we going up or is the reserve team going up?"

  "The reserve team can't move now!" said the company commander.

  "That's it for us," said the captain of the suicide squad, and he was about to go out to make a pre-battle pep talk to his troops...

  "It's not time yet." The company commander splashed a basin of cold water over him.

  The captain of the suicide squad lifted one foot and put it down again, looking at Lianzhang with a puzzled face.

  Across from us was a large Japanese army battalion, with over 1,000 troops. Excluding the various levels of command and logistics units, as well as the artillery squad, there were more than ** hundred infantrymen alone. The disparity in our forces was too great, and a fierce battle would be impossible to win; we couldn't reveal all our trump cards at once!

  The company commander still held the binoculars to observe the battlefield, although he didn't turn his head back, but seemed to have noticed the doubts of the squad leader, and said a sentence: "Wait a little longer!" After saying this sentence, he suddenly said another sentence, "Which class is this kid from? His skills are pretty good!"

  Huh? The captain of the suicidal squad is even more perplexed.

  What did Sanlian Chang see in the telescope?

  At this moment, he happened to see a nimble figure turning over the embankment of the Luo River in the midst of the hail of bullets. With this figure turning over the embankment, slightly raising the binoculars, what entered the lens was a Japanese grenade launcher position.

  The corner of his mouth rose with a faint smile, he put down the binoculars, picked up an assault rifle leaning against the entrance of the bunker, checked it while shouting: "Communications officer!"

  "Report!" The communications officer responded loudly and stood in front of Squadron Leader Sanlian, giving a crisp salute.

  "Report to the headquarters: The Japanese army's attack is extremely fierce, with artillery support. Our defensive positions have been completely destroyed, and casualties are heavy. Requesting withdrawal back to the county town to preserve our strength and defend based on the solid city walls."

  "Yes!" The messenger saluted and turned away.

  "Guards!" Sergeant Three shouted again.

  "Arrived!" The guard stood at attention beside him and saluted.

  "Let's go and take a look at the front line." The company commander said as he walked out.

  What? To the front line? The guard's face was bitter, but he didn't dare block him, so he had to follow quickly.

  San Lian Chang seemed to have seen the expression of the guard, and while taking a step forward, he said calmly: "What's wrong, are you scared?"

  "No, sir." The guard hastily explained that if he let his superior officer think he was afraid of death, his future would be ruined. "As a bodyguard for the commander, my mission is to use my own body to block bullets for the commander, I'm not afraid of death. However, Commander, the front line is too dangerous, you are the highest commanding officer on our military's front line, you shouldn't take risks in person, what if..."

  The guard wanted to say: What if Commander, you unfortunately die for the country, then how can we continue fighting? But he felt that saying so would be too disrespectful to his superior, so he swallowed back the words.

  "Ah, ah!" The captain of the suicide squad hastily blocked the way in front of Sanlian Chang, "You can't go, let me lead the suicide squad instead! I guarantee that we will definitely kill all the devils and leave no one alive!"

  "I've said it before, the suicide squad hasn't even gone up yet." The company commander glared at the captain of the suicide squad, reached out and pulled him aside, "Get out of my way." He then strode off.

  "Keep going..." The desperate captain of the suicide squad chased after him relentlessly.

  "You guys take care of the suicide squad for me, there will be a time when you'll have to use your strength!" The company commander said without even turning his head.

  The captain of the suicide squad had no choice but to stop in his tracks.

  Luohe Bridge Battlefield

  Lin Feng crossed over and after entering the Luo River, looked at the nearly ten-meter-wide river in front of him, his scalp felt a bit tight.

  It's too dangerous, really hard to get through.

  At this time, the Luoshui River is no longer clear and transparent, but is churned up by intermittent explosions, presenting a turbulent state. The water surface is floating with various debris, including shredded flesh, limbs, and internal organs, with blood seeping out of them, forming patches of dark red that are quickly dispersed by the murky river water.

  An explosion occurred in the water, and a column of water shot up into the air. When it came down, it happened to hit Lin Feng right on the head, covering his face completely.

  Lin Feng was knocked into the river, and because he didn't expect it, he had to hold his rifle in his right hand to prevent it from getting wet. It was hard to keep his balance, so he unwillingly took a mouthful of murky water with all sorts of "ingredients" mixed in. A large intestine floated by on the surface of the water in front of him...

  Lin Feng felt a wave of nausea and before he could even stand up from the water, he started dry vomiting.

  That place is in the human world, but it's a complete hell on earth!

  Lin Feng was exhausted from the intense vomiting and his body was weak, and in the impact of the river water, he was carried away. By the time he realized it, he had already gone deep into the river.

  This is great, no need for Lin Feng to make a decision, his body automatically started acting on its own.

  Since he has already entered the river, it is impossible to retreat. With Lin Feng's temperament, he has never given up halfway through a task. He only moves forward and never backward. Even if there are many dangers ahead, this river will be crossed today.

  Lin Feng held his rifle in one hand and paddled with the other to stabilize his body, preventing himself from being washed away by the current, as he struggled step by step towards the opposite bank.

  As he was making his way forward, Lin Feng's scalp tightened and a bad premonition crept over his heart. He hastily raised his eyes to look around, only to see a Japanese soldier about to rush onto the bridgehead of Luhe Bridge, hiding behind others, aiming at him with his gun, with a faint smile still floating at the corner of his mouth...

  Today, Lin Feng suddenly bowed his head and kicked the riverbed with both feet, his body gliding forward in the water like a carp. The rifle in his right hand surprisingly didn't get wet, it seems this kid has some aquatic skills...

  A loud "bang" sounded, and Lin Feng felt his right shoulder exposed above the water being heavily smashed, his body also being pulled down into the water, his right arm numb and powerless, the rifle in his hand falling straight into the water...

  The Japanese soldier had originally aimed at Lin Feng's head, but when the target suddenly accelerated and sped away, in a state of panic, the muzzle quickly followed the target and fired without taking aim, missing its mark slightly, the bullet grazing the target's shoulder, only tearing off a piece of skin.

  Wang Yuzhu on the Luhe River battlefield noticed all this, hastily turned his gun and fired at the Japanese soldier, who fell with a loud thud.

  "Cover!" The Japanese soldier who ambushed Lin Feng was knocked down, and Wang Yuzhu looked at Lin Feng, who was struggling in the water, knowing he wasn't dead yet, his heart finally put down, and reminded his comrade beside him.

  With a "splash", the rifle fell into the water, and Lin Feng, who had just stabilized his body, quickly picked it up with lightning speed, feeling a burning pain in his right shoulder, a wave of fear in his heart, not daring to stay in place for a moment, without checking if the gun was flooded, using all his strength to move towards the opposite bank...

  It's almost there, just two meters away from the shore. This location is temporarily safe as it is blocked by the embankment on the opposite bank and can no longer be seen by the Japanese army.

  Lin Feng paused for a moment, catching his breath...

  A loud "boom" shook the air, a hand grenade tossed from a launcher exploded behind him, although it was far enough away not to harm Lin Feng, but the explosive force still stirred up a huge wave in the river, and Lin Feng was pushed forward by the waves, stumbling several steps...

  It turns out it's not so safe here either!

  Lin Feng didn't dare stay any longer and borrowed the shockwave from the explosion to leap several steps forward in the water, charging up onto the shore.

  Lin Feng finally rushed over, and Wang Yuzhu let out a long sigh of relief, secretly cursing: "This little bastard really has a big life, several times he was hit but wasn't killed by the little devils!"

  Lin Feng was lucky enough, from the start of the war until now, it's not even half an hour, Lin Feng has been in danger several times.

  The first time was when he was buried alive during the shelling, fortunately Wang Yuzhu rescued him in time and dug him out; The second time was when he got excited during the fight and crawled out of the bunker, exposing his whole body to the Japanese army, inviting a fierce attack from the Japanese army. It was still Wang Yuzhu who pulled him down in time, otherwise he would have become a corpse long ago; And then there was this time when he almost had his brains blown out, again it was Wang Yuzhu who eliminated the enemy for him.

  If it's said that Lin Feng owes his life to luck, then it would be more accurate to say that all of this is inseparable from Wang Yuzhu's care. It can be said that Wang Yuzhu is Lin Feng's lifesaver and benefactor, and Wang Yuzhu is Lin Feng's lucky star. From now on, the two are tied together by an unbreakable bond.

  At the head of Luohe Bridge, Sanlianlong crouched behind a bunker, moving swiftly with his back bent like a cat's. Explosions kept happening around him from time to time, and bullets whizzed past above his head without stopping.

  The bodyguard closely followed him, and once he sensed danger, he would unhesitatingly throw himself over him to protect him.

  Paichang was holding a heavy machine gun and firing fiercely, without noticing that his company commander had arrived.

  He was replaced by an ammunition handler and then pulled away by the squad leader to a relatively safe place.

  "Commander Lian, how did you get here? It's too dangerous! Please go back!" The platoon leader took a glance at the brutal battlefield and worried about his commander's safety.

  "There are guards with me, I won't be in trouble." San Lian Zhang said, "How about the casualties of the troops?"

  His face fell, and he was overcome with emotion: "More than half of the casualties were from the second squad. The squad leader had just fallen in battle. He sacrificed himself to retrieve a machine gun. At that time, the machine gun position was overturned by a grenade launcher. The machine gunner fought desperately to throw out the machine gun. The squad leader went to retrieve it and managed to fire only one burst before being hit by a grenade launcher. Both the squad leader and the machine gun were gone."

  In war, the platoon is the most basic combat unit, and the platoon leader is the most direct combat commander. If a troop loses too many platoon leaders at once during combat and cannot be replenished in time, its combat effectiveness will plummet sharply.

  Originally, when the troops were fighting in the first and second lines of defense, the grassroots fighters had already suffered heavy casualties, with some being replaced by new recruits. Now that the Liaohe position has just lost another platoon leader, the third company commander is getting anxious.
