Chapter 86 Someone More Cruel Than Chen Xiao
Of course Chen Xiao didn't really go over, after all, he still didn't understand why this happened.
I was just really hungry. These guys in the arsenal are not so efficient at work, so how come the chicken soup they stewed is so delicious?
But I have hands!
How could he let Tian Xiaoyu feed him? Just as he was about to reach out to take the chicken soup from Tian Xiaoyu's hand, she glared at him and then stuffed two steamed buns into his hand.
How would you feel if you were hungry for three days and then given two steamed buns?
Hey! It smells so good!
The brigade commander didn't feel embarrassed watching this either. Perhaps there was no such thing as a light bulb in that era.
After he confirmed that Chen Xiao was not seriously injured, he started to talk about business. The first thing he had to do was to confirm where his injuries came from.
"A few days ago, a major incident occurred in Taiyuan City. A lone hero went alone to blow up the Taiyuan Arsenal in Taiyuan City.
Is this you? "
Chen Xiao nodded: "At that time... I just wanted to go in and take a look.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese actually raised military dogs in the arsenal.
Because of carelessness, they were discovered, so they simply blew up the 92-meter artillery artillery ammunition warehouse.
It's not that exaggerated if we didn't blow up a single arsenal."
Tian Xiaoyu's hand trembled as she fed him the soup. It turned out that this was the reason why he was injured, but she didn't say anything.
The brigade commander laughed and said, "Not that exaggerated? Chen Xiao! You are exaggerating too much!
One man fought his way in and out of Taiyuan City, where a Japanese division was stationed to defend it.
One person killed half of the enemy's regiment, about a thousand or so people!
This kind of record is unheard of. When I heard the report, I thought they were fooling me.
But later the intelligence was confirmed again and it was true.
You are amazing! Chen Xiao."
Tian Xiaoyu was stunned. The man in front of him had killed more than a thousand enemies by himself in Taiyuan City.
Is it that exaggerated?
Chen Xiao also thought that the brigade commander was praising him! He thought to himself, what am I?
After the Americans fought with Japan.
Two more years.
In the Solomon Islands, there was an American soldier who was so ruthless that he killed two to three thousand Japanese soldiers by himself.
It seems like it was two years later!
In mid-1942, around this time, the United States suddenly sent troops to the Solomon Islands. What strategic ?
This is not important.
What’s important is that in August 1942, when the Battle of Guadalcanal broke out, the U.S. military had an absolute advantage in equipment and weapons, while the Japanese army could only charge at the U.S. positions with their numerical advantage, and their advantage was limited to numbers.
But in modern warfare, numerical advantage is no longer important at certain times and in certain places.
For example, on October 24 of the same year, a battle that attracted worldwide attention took place. On one side were more than 3,000 Japanese troops, and on the other side were a squad of American troops.
This is how the battle goes.
On that day, more than 3,000 Japanese troops launched an attack on a squad of American troops.
There were only 15 people in that squad. As soon as the battle started, 12 of them died from the Japanese artillery fire. Two were seriously injured. Only one guy named John Basilone was left, and his skin was not even scratched.
What should I do at this time?
At this time, we can only fight hard!
If you don't fight, you will die.
The Japanese army's small artillery is still very famous on the battlefield. It is very accurate, but it is also famous for its small power and not enough to blow up fortifications.
So this young man named John Basilone quickly built his own anti-artillery fortifications, which were very cleverly positioned. As the saying goes, one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through.
He collected all the weapons he could find, including two heavy machine guns and several pistols.
The reason they had two heavy machine guns was because they were a heavy machine gun squad and had plenty of bullets.
So a killing began.
Faced with the Japanese army's human wave offensive, John Basilone, a young Marine, launched a desperate counterattack.
One person does the work of ammunition handler, assistant gunner, and machine gunner.
Oh, and there's a mechanic.
The machine gun broke down during the battle, but luckily they were the heavy machine gun squad and had the tools to repair it and spare parts.
He was so lucky that he managed to fix it and continued firing the machine gun, even withstanding the pressure of the Japanese attack.
When reinforcements arrived the next day, they were shocked to see corpses lying on the ground at the foot of the mountain.
After counting the battlefield, they found that there were more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 Japanese soldiers' bodies.
This battle shocked the whole world.
After evaluation, it was determined that the actual combat results of this young man from Basilone should be between 1500 and 2000.
But the most important thing is courage.
It turned out that there was someone who could hold out alone against the attack of more than 3,000 Japanese troops for a whole day and a night and achieve such results.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the ability to withstand pressure.
One of a kind.
Remember that after this young man returned to the United States, he received a medal called something?
It seems to be the highest medal of honor for the US military, just like the pilot Richard who sank the Japanese heavy cruiser with his plane.
…
That’s not all.
There is something even more outrageous.
June 6, 1944, the Normandy Landings .
There was a German soldier who was later called the "Beast of Omaha Beach" and he was also a ruthless man.
He fired more than 12,000 rounds of bullets with his heavy machine gun at the densely packed American troops, and more than 400 rounds of bullets with his rifle.
It was this battle that made him a star of the German army.
He was even called the "Beast of Omaha Beach" because of his numerous killings.
Historians later had a great debate about how many American soldiers he killed.
According to various evidences, he killed more than 4,000 or even 5,000 American soldiers at that time.
But the German soldier who was captured later was named Hein Severo, the great man known as the Beast of Omaha Beach.
He refused to admit that he killed so many American soldiers, and only recalled that the number was about 1,000 to 2,000.
But some people think that he is trying to shirk responsibility. In fact, there are definitely more than two thousand people.
…
Chen Xiao felt that he was just taking advantage of the twists and turns of the alleys in Taiyuan City and his grenade throwing ability, and most importantly, he had the perspective hack.
Yes, he is cheating!
But the results of a person who uses cheats are not as good as those who don't.
Of course, this has not happened yet. Now my record is definitely the best in the world.
A little smug!
" What? Do you think I'm praising you?" the brigade commander said unhappily.
Chen Xiao was stunned. Shouldn't this be a compliment to me?
“Do you know how many people in our country are capable of manufacturing high-precision machine tools?
We haven't found any news that others can, but you can.
It can be said that you are indispensable to our country's future industrial base.
yes!
This time you achieved significant results, killing more than a thousand of the enemy, and in their lair.
But what about you?
You almost got caught in it, you were bombarded twice, twice!
It's a good thing you ran out. If you died in there, you would be a hero to others, but to you, your death would be worthless.
We have more than a thousand devils, but if we trade them for you, we will lose money on this business, and it will be a big loss.”
The brigade commander had also done his homework, and he knew what high-precision machine tools represented.
I also read the letter Feng Lin sent back.
Anyone can fight the Japanese as long as they have weapons and faith. But is the resistance over these years because our soldiers have no faith?
But why is it that every time we face the Japanese in a war, we always suffer a loss, a big loss?
Because of weapons and equipment, others have planes, cannons, warships and tanks, but what about us?
This is determined by the industrial strength of the entire country. The industrial strength of a country is built up by machine tools.
…
Thinking of Feng Lin, the brigade commander realized that he had been here for such a long time but had never seen Feng Lin!
Where have the people gone?
