It's a high ground between river valleys, and the high ground is very steep. The mountain is all rocky, there is no dirt, and everywhere there is rubble that has been collapsed by shells like a knife, and it is not easy to find a place to sit.

At this time, the wind is very strong and cool. The mist at the foot of the mountain rises one by one on the vast mountains, white as clouds, and the mountains in the distance are still very green, and the scenery is very pleasant.

The old cat man who came out was very energetic, making introductions for everyone, pointing in the trenches through the bamboo branches and bamboo leaves used for concealment.

I heard him say, "You are right to choose to observe here in our land." You see, there is a large area of the enemy under the mountain, and you can see farther with a telescope. It's just that there is one point, we are notoriously bad here, we are attacked on three sides, and we can't supply them. You know, especially when there is a terrible lack of water! ”

Forward Q: How long will it take to carry the water if you go down? How dangerous is it?

The old cat said: "If it takes about two hours to carry water from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, it is too dangerous, and the enemy agents have strengthened the blockade below. We hadn't dared to go down for more than a month, and we had a great chance to get dazed from the fight last night, but there were still agents ambushing there. It takes about two hours, but how long does it take to descend the mountain? ”

Before anyone could answer, he muttered to himself, "It's only twenty minutes." You feel a little cold when the wind blows, right? This place is like this, it's really weird, obviously the valley below is humid, stuffy and impermeable, but in the mountains the wind is howling, and the night is so cold that people shiver, I'm afraid you can't stand it with a military blanket. Look at this stone, you must be very careful in the future, when you shoot the cannon, you must enter the hole, the stone will be broken, like an air bomb. ”

What he said is true, everyone knows how powerful this thing is.

The old cat continued: "There are enemy troops on the mountains on the left and right here, a hundred meters on the right, only fifty meters on the left, and the farthest in front, across the river valley, there are thousands of meters." The enemy on the left can hear the whistle, but it is not very dangerous, and the one on the right, because the hill is higher than us, knows more about our situation, and often comes to sneak attack. Sometimes the sniper fire from the front will also come in, but the accuracy is not like that, this is before. Ever since the Gunners came, there have been powerful characters over there. ”

Everyone listened attentively, and they didn't know what kind of powerful role he was talking about.

"One time before we went down the mountain to lay mines, and they were spotted by their snipers, and I broke the cover and I was fine with three shots. After coming to the artillery watcher, it was miserable, and after attracting masters, everyone didn't dare to be careless. We heard on the enemy's radio that the guy had been transferred from the Cambodian battlefield, and it was very powerful. Coming and going, running on both sides, a heroic character, with a group of followers. When you have time, you play with them with sniper rifles, especially the people on the hill you just came over, they are very annoying. The old cat said it very clearly.

When Xiang Qian heard this, he couldn't stop being shocked in his heart. I hadn't hit him as a prey on the battlefield before, and I didn't expect this to appear in the position here again.

This time he has to face the main but is a really powerful character, he is completely unsure of how to deal with him, no matter what he can't compare with the other party. The only thing that can be fought may be luck, and see whose luck is better.

He Siguang, the artillery watcher, listened to the introduction of the squad leader of the defenders here, and looked around at the terrain with his eyes. He was tall and thin, wearing a blue sweatshirt under his military uniform. At this time, he took the binoculars and looked east and west on the opposite side, and his demeanor was very elegant, as if he had a fight with the foot eggs that everyone saw just now.

Pointing forward, he pointed to a hill that stretched out diagonally in front of him, and asked, "It seems to be good there, the bushes are thick, and the terrain is more conducive to observation than here. ”

"There are cliffs in front of it, on the left and right, it's a dead end, it's not safe!" The elder of the defending squad immediately said: "If we want to choose there, it is better to have a good view of any place on our way down the mountain to the back water, but it is not conducive to concealment, and enemy agents often touch it from this route." ”

Forward asked, "Have you gone down to get them?" ”

The old cat immediately replied: "I haven't finished talking yet, you listen to me." But the men in our positions often set up ambushes on the way down the mountain to attack agents who come up from below. Let me tell you about the road down here. ”

As soon as I heard the old cat say that many sections of the road down the mountain are steep cliffs, drive piles along the cliffs, hang vines, and have to climb up and down, everyone knows that it is dangerous, and it is not easy to stick to it here. The old cat said that there were still a few cliffs, and a few logs were used to build an overpass, which was very narrow and sloping, and if you were not careful or were ambushed, you would have to fall to the bottom of the valley and fall to your death.

"There is a place about fifty meters down that we call him Wangfu Cliff, I don't know what the enemy calls it, the cliff is dozens of meters high, the sight there should be much better than the ridge you value, but it is not easy to hide, you have to go down to the cave on the cliff two zhang away." The old cat introduced that he was very familiar with the environment here, so it was no problem.

"There's a cave in the cliff? Wouldn't it be a little mysterious? Can you get in? "Ask forward.

"That's up to you. Aren't you all scouts, climbing cliffs should be your forte, and if you can hide there, you can be safe and see far and wide, not to mention how good it is. You all try it together in the evening, and I'll let the rat lead you down. The old cat suggested.

"What better place to do it than these two?" The captain asked.

"Well, a better place, that's my trench here, what do you think?" The old cat replied.

The gunners said, "Hehe, this is your territory, of course it must not occupy yours." The main thing is that there is occlusion on both sides, and the field of view is not wide. ”

The old cat said, "It's not that I think it's too dangerous, it should be the inconvenience you said." Our positions are often subject to artillery shells and enemy sneak attacks, which are quite unobservable and affected. The most important thing in your work is 24-hour surveillance, and you can't be careless for a second. This job is not easy to play, to go deep into the front line of the first line, I wish I could install the telescope in front of the enemy's artillery shield, how can it be so easy? ”

Speaking of this, the old cat sighed with emotion: "You guys stay up slowly, it's already very bitter here, and I don't dare to do your kind of work." The enemy's snipers are specifically looking for people like you, as well as health soldiers or something, and when they see one and kill the other, they snap, and the cold gun goes off, and after killing someone, his turtle son runs away without a trace, and he can't find revenge. I've been on the front lines all these days, and I've seen everything. ”

This old cat squad leader is a bit outrageous, people on the battlefield are a little superstitious and don't want to hear unlucky words.

The gunners looked up at a clump of bamboo leaves, interrupted him and asked, "Well, you said that the hill on the left is close to each other, and it should be more dangerous, so why do you get along better with the enemy?" ”

The old cat said: "Hehe, you don't know this, maybe relatively speaking, their position is going to break into our position again, and they are afraid of being threatened by us from three sides." You don't know, in the past, if they had any trouble, we would give him an artillery attack, not to mention it, and more importantly, we often engaged in harassment and attack, so that they could not parry. ”

No one was allowed to interject, and the old cat continued in one breath: "Now there are only eight or nine people on top of them, an ordinary class. I don't know why the higher authorities didn't tell us to take it down, but to be honest, it's not me who is belligerent, and we can do it if we want to take their positions and occupy favorable terrain. It is likely that this position is not very important and can be taken at any time, so the upper ones did not give orders. As you can see, we have a few infantry mortar guns here, and once they were dishonest, and as soon as we beat them up, they shouted to stop fighting. That's why now you can safely stand here for a while, if you had before, you wouldn't have dared to come out and point fingers like this. ”

Everyone listened and nodded.

The old cat was very proud: "So I summed up an experience, peace is fought, without strong force, you don't want to live a good life." Our position has been too peaceful for several times, and I saw it just now, and the heavy machine guns have been dragged in and oiled for maintenance. ”

Strange forward, exclaiming, "Is there such a thing? Looks like you're pretty good. In the months before, we didn't talk to the enemy, and we would fight people when we saw them. ”

The old cat shrugged and said, "Of course it's the same now, as long as we see the people on the hill coming down and attacking, we will beat them violently." Also, as long as we hear the sound of the branches and leaves below, we will also slam into the fire. We specially use tree branches, bamboo leaves, etc. to call the police, but it can be useful. We've used this trick before, you remember. ”

Moving forward nodded. The battlefield changes fate, and learning war in war, at least the old cat is right.

"Because this position is full of stones, there is very little earth, and there is no concealment on the front line, so we use tree branches, bamboo leaves, etc., piled up on the front line and the edge of the trench for cover. In the past, three groups of men and horses came here to conduct artillery watching, and the above ordered us to do a good job of covering, but this time last night we had to venture down the mountain to carry the water, cut fresh branches, bamboo leaves, etc., and concealed the trenches very well. It's a little bit of our support, you're welcome! The old cat laughed to himself as he spoke.

"Now that you have made peace here, I want to climb up the jutting hill ahead, which should be a good place, and I value it very much. I don't know what the day will be! The gunner, taking out his binoculars, took out a general scan of the front and said.

The old cat is also real, and to be honest: "It's okay to come out and move in the trenches during the day, so it's easy to be exposed when you crawl out, of course it's not good." The other side is a great sniper, I just said it. The evening should be better, and it is not known whether you have alarmed the enemy when you came, and it is very likely that they have observed such a large group of people. With binoculars and lethal observations of their depth, who knows if they are also watching you in some secret place? Hardly. ”

The gunners nodded: "Then let's go there at night and inspect the terrain." And you said that the line of sight on the path down the mountain back to the water is very good? ”

The old cat said, "Yes, you will go and see it in the evening." I won't tell you, everything that should be introduced has been introduced, I'll take a break, and arrange a place for your people by the way. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm really tired. ”

Xiang Qianqian thanked him, and said to Li Guoshi: "You go back to rest first, and I will watch with the artillery watchers here, and then choose an observation point at night to conduct hidden observation." ”

"Yes!" After Li Guoshi finished speaking, he followed the old cat squad leader who was quite capable of bragging back to the cave.

"That guy can blow a lot, and he can't finish talking. I found that the soldiers on the front line with pierced ears can speak well, and they are very powerful. People like us are almost silent, like you scouts, and can't talk much. Sometimes we stay under the nose of the enemy for days, ten days, dozens of days, and conduct lurking observations, and you want to speak? Unless you don't want to live anymore. He Siguang said.

"Yes, the soldiers with cat's ears are just waiting for the enemy's attack and sneak attack most of the time, and everyone else has nothing to do except the outpost. The daytime when you don't sleep is nothing more than wiping the gun, not talking to have fun, and you will be depressed to the point of panic. In fact, everyone in our class, except for me, Li Guoshi, Wang Zongbao, etc., can also speak well. But I feel that I can gradually speak now, yesterday, I chatted with your deputy division commander for a long time, if it was before, I would not have had anything to say to our company commander. Our company commander has nothing to say to me, he values me very much, and when he went to the front line, he let the platoon commander never leave an inch, and he took great care of me! He spoke as he moved forward, but his eyes kept looking out through the hidden branches and leaves.

Zhang Xingwu said at this time: "How am I doing to you? I don't even see you mention it. You also said that the company commander took away my aerial map last time, and he will not come back to this day. It's useless for him to take it, we run on the front line every day, and we still have to grind with him another day, and it's serious to get it back. ”

He Siguang asked: "Is it an aerial map of the terrain here?" I have a lot of this, and it's in my pocket. There are frontal defenses everywhere on the battlefield, you want it, it's useless here, I'll think of a way to give it to you when I go back. It's not easy for you to move around. ”

Zhang Xingwu was very happy with Xiangqian and praised He Siguang as a good person. After talking for a while, Zhang Xingwu went into the cave and said that he would first discuss the entire combat duty plan based on the terrain here, and then hold a meeting to discuss and decide.

After Zhang Xingwu went, He Siguang said: "You old platoon leader, you are very good. ”

Xiang Qianqian replied: "That's right, that's right, with our company commander, they all came over in a big fight in self-defense and counterattack that year, and they all shouted loudly from the division commander." Our division, as you should know, has more than 30,000 people, which is estimated to be the largest establishment in the whole army. It's not easy! ”
