Chapter Forty-Eight: Fifteen Heroes of Cuiwei Mountain

Vassili. Colonel Hilgeevich was fierce at this moment, he had endured so long and finally waited for a great opportunity to serve the Party Central Committee, and this skirmish in the hinterland of China actually attracted the attention of Comrade Leonid 61 Ilyich 61 Brezhnev, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

According to the aerial reconnaissance report, the enemy was not numerous in number, and although he was strong-willed and stubbornly resisted, it would not be long before he would fall apart under the blows of the absolute superiority of the motorized infantry battalion, and when the time came, Colonel Vasily would have to hang a medal of the Order of the Red Star on his chest. The answer is: the crocodile will wear a medal for a week.

The corners of the colonel's mouth were drawn into laugh lines, and the adjutant and staff officers saw that they were relieved and issued the colonel's order, the artillery company suspended its operation, and the motorized infantry battalion made a big move to attack the mountain.

Hundreds of Soviet Army soldiers in M1969 winter field uniforms and gray fur winter hats lined up in a sparse skirmish line, armed with AKM automatic rifles, struggling to climb the mountain.

The Soviet troops slowly climbed halfway up the mountain, still did not encounter any resistance, but the officers who had experienced the test of war knew that the tradition of the Chinese army was to fight again when they got closer, the bayonet was red, and the grenade was real, so the closer they were, the slower the speed of the soldiers, and try to shrink themselves as short as possible.

On the top of the mountain, in the hastily dug circular trench, the guerrillas had prepared meals to entertain the enemy, boxes of apples and pineapples, and Type 67 wooden-handled grenades were arranged in a row, the lid at the end of the wooden handle was unscrewed, the sealing oil paper was punctured, the fire rope was hooked out, and it was thrown at any time, the heavy machine gun adjusted the ruler, the protective cap at the front end of the RPG7 rocket was removed, and the safety pin was taken out, and it was about to fire.

The enemy grinded and waited, and finally reached a distance of fifty meters, Li Weidong raised the Stepekin automatic pistol, fired the first shot, followed by the sound of gunfire, the main force was a PKS heavy machine gun with a tripod, dozens of automatic rifles followed by accompaniment, but the most painful for the enemy were apples and pineapples.

The RGD5 grenade equipped by the Soviet army is a smooth ovoid on the surface, commonly known as an apple, the F-1 grenade with prefabricated fragments on the uneven surface is called a pineapple, and there is a GR42 large defensive grenade with a charge of up to 118 grams that kills people by shock waves, which is a sharp weapon for positional warfare.

"Save the a little bit!" Li Weidong shouted that his task was to hold out for five hours, not to kill or injure enemy troops, and it was very important to save ammunition.

The first round of the attack was thwarted, which was expected by Colonel Vasily, and he did not care and continued to order the second round of the attack.

The sky changed, and the sky over Cuiwei Mountain was covered with clouds, and in an instant, the snowflakes fluttered down, and a snowflake swirled and fell into the collar of the colonel's tweed coat Astarahan. Sergeovich craned his neck, lit a Marlboro, and continued to watch the battle, his temporary command post was in an armored vehicle two kilometers away from Cuiwei Mountain, where no enemy weapon could reach, to ensure the safety of the comrade commander, and a hot coffee to refresh himself.

But the Soviet soldiers who climbed in the wind and snow were not so lucky, they not only had to face the enemy's bullets, but also braved the biting cold wind and snowflakes to advance, fortunately, the snowflakes also blocked the enemy's view, so they could have some hidden effect.

The Soviets had a lot of experience in winter operations, the soldiers of the 3rd attack wave put on white overalls and blended in with the snow, and the partisan grenades were thrown less generously, and victory seemed to be in sight.

Snowflakes obscured the telescope's vision, and Colonel Vasily asked the commander of the battalion with a walkie-talkie when the commander of the battalion in charge of the command in front would be able to capture the mountain.

"Comrade Colonel, give me another twenty, no, thirty" The captain's voice stopped abruptly, and after a few seconds, a cry came from the earpiece: "Comrade Colonel, Comrade Battalion Commander has died. “

On the peak, Liu Yan held the SVD sniper rifle and continued to look for the next target, the heavy snow did not affect him in the slightest, and the order of his attack was enemy snipers, officers and heavy weapons operators, and so far five people have been killed.

Under the threat of snipers, the Soviet troops hid behind armored vehicles and did not dare to show their heads, and the offensive formation halfway up the mountain was also chaotic, and all the men and horses became turtles with shrunken heads

According to this method of fighting, let alone five hours, as long as the ammunition and dry food are sufficient, it will be no problem to last for 24 hours, and the problem of no water source on the mountain peak will be solved.

But they were too happy too early, the roar of the rotors of helicopters was heard in the air, and the cunning Russian devils took advantage of the heavy snow to launch a landing operation, and directly threw their troops to the top of Cuiwei Mountain, the weakest side of the ring position, which was also the side against the cliff.

The Soviet airborne troops are elite troops, they wear blue berets, camouflage uniforms and sea soul shirts, fierce and brave are not afraid of death, and this company-sized unit stationed in Omi has the reputation of "air Cossacks", they quickly glide down the rope in the heavy snow, and establish a defensive line after landing, covering each other to attack forward.

At this time, the Soviet infantry in charge of the feint also took the opportunity to shout and shout, indiscriminately placing guns to attract attention, Li Weidong had a total of less than 20 people under his hands, taking care of one or the other, overstretched, seeing that the defense line was facing collapse, the objects they protected took action, Lei Meng and Yu Hanchao were one left and one right, each end of an RPK light machine gun, 75 rounds of drum fire blazing, blocking the way of the Soviet soldiers' advance.

But the distance was too close, coupled with the fire support of the 30mm guns under the head of the Hind helicopter, the resistance was quickly suppressed, and the airborne troops pounced on them, and even their hideous faces and blue and white sea soul shirts under their field coats could be seen.

At the critical moment, the Deshka heavy machine gun, which had been hidden in the tunnel, spoke, and the dense rain of bullets hit the fuselage of the hind, chiseling out more than a dozen bullet holes, and the helicopter quickly rose and retreated, and Li Weidong just breathed a sigh of relief, and the airborne troops fired a 40-millimeter grenade from the grenade launcher on the gun, killing the fighters operating the heavy machine gun on the spot, and the machine gun was also seriously damaged and could not be fired.

In an instant, the sea soul shirts rushed into the trenches and started a face-to-face bloody battle with the guerrillas, almost shooting each other with the muzzle of the gun against the chest, and the gunfire in the narrow trench was loud, and both sides were red-eyed, and they did not hesitate to die together.

After a bloody battle, the airborne troops were wiped out, and the partisans also paid heavy casualties, five people were killed and there were no wounded.

The airborne troops bought time for their comrades with their lives, and while the guerrillas were dealing with the enemy on their backs, the infantry under the mountain rushed up in one go, and they were already approaching within 30 meters.

The time has come for the pillar to show his skills, the party patriot put down his body, specially twisted the cover of the grenade for him, a box of 67-type wooden-handled grenades can be made vigorously, bombing is the pillar's strong point, he can catch up with a mortar alone, and the accuracy is extremely high, pointing where to hit, a round of bullets rain down, the Russian devil was repulsed again.

Colonel Vasily was a little anxious, and the staff officers of the regimental headquarters suggested that it would be more cost-effective to let the artillery company shoot a base number of shells and cut off a layer of the top of the hill than to fill it with human lives.

"You don't understand, comrades." The colonel said, "This is an order from General Secretary Brezhnev himself, we want to make sure that the precision instruments on the mountain are intact, in the words of the Chinese, this is called a rat thrower." ”

Suddenly, a staff officer's eyes lit up: "Comrade Colonel, I suggest the use of chemical weapons, which can take the position completely." ”

Colonel Vasily was excited, why didn't he think of this trick, the Soviet army used chemical weapons on the Chinese battlefield very frequently, whether it was in Harbin to encircle and suppress the resistance in the subway tunnel, or in the frontal battlefield to attack the fortified battle, or in the war of law and order in the occupied area, a large amount of poison gas was used, among which erosive mustard gas was the majority.

Vasily's motorized infantry regiment was also equipped with poison gas bombs, but this operation was not carried with them, and he hurriedly sent a helicopter back to get ammunition, and the troops withdrew to rest and recuperate, eat and roast.

On the top of the mountain, the soldiers were also eating and resting, and they found stainless steel flasks filled with vodka and Marlboro cigarettes from the bodies of the airborne troops.

The snow stopped, Li Weidong took a puff of cigarette, took a sip of spirits, and then passed the wine jug to the next person, looked at the hazy sky, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

"Captain, what are you laughing at?" One of the fighters asked.

"Do you say that future generations will compile our deeds in textbooks, just like Lei Feng and Ouyang Hai." Li Weidong said, and then asked himself, "Definitely, then our death will be fucking meaningful, and it will be fucking worth!" ”

The soldiers squinted their eyes, looking forward to the appearance of their glorious image in primary and secondary school textbooks, they all laughed, and one guy also said: "If you want me to say, you have to erect a monument for us, just on the top of this Cuiwei Mountain, white marble, the style is the same as the monument to the people's heroes in Tiananmen Square, carve us all up, our buddies, live together to fight devils, and die to receive a piece of future generations, red scarves, and incense from the Communist Youth League." ”

"For the sake of the monument." Li Weidong raised the flask, drank the vodka in a circle, and there was still a small sip left, he spilled it on the ground, "Brothers who go first, you also take a sip." ”

Liu Yanzhi and the others couldn't help but have a sour nose, they watched the lives of the heroes of the Huaijiang Brigade enter the countdown stage, but they couldn't do anything, the location of the traversal cabin was limited, and most people had only one destination, that is, to die on the top of the mountain.

A sharp whistling sound came, everyone fell down at the same time, a mortar shell exploded, this was a harassment shell from the mountain, Li Weidong was furious, jumped into the position, picked up a mortar shell and filled the barrel, he wanted to return a tooth for a tooth.

But something seemed to be wrong, and a pungent smell similar to garlic or mustard permeated the field.
