Thick fog filled the ravines around us, and early morning visibility was quite low. The mountains were silent, not a single sound could be heard, and everyone was waiting for the time to attack.

Zhang Wenwen's face was still very pale, but his injuries had healed, and there was nothing to hinder him. He lay down next to Xiang Qian, and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Of course, this was not allowed, he knew that it would not work, and when he took out a cigarette, he sniffed it vigorously under his nose and put it back in the cigarette box.

Xiang Qian looked at his movements, smiled, and thought of He Siguanglai, I don't know how he is now. Zhang Wenwen pushed the steel helmet on his head, picked up the Bayi automatic rifle on the ground again, and stretched the muzzle of the gun into the grass.

Xiang Xiang also looked around, and there was silence everywhere in the early morning, and there was no one in sight. But he knew that everyone was scattered at the foot of the mountain, waiting to attack.

This is not a big battle, everyone is very calm, just waiting for the arrival of the artillery attack, then everyone will take advantage of the smoke screen to touch up another twenty meters. After that, it is safe to wait for the end of the artillery attack and launch an attack.

Now that the shelling has not yet begun, there is a sudden dense sound of explosions and gunfire from the lurking position on the right.

Forward understands that this operation mission has failed.

Previously, under the leadership of that operational staff officer, their reconnaissance detachment went to this area to carry out reconnaissance and discovered that the enemy had a secret stronghold, and more than 30 agents were hiding in caves.

There is still a reinforced squad of about 15 people defending the hilltop position, and I don't know when it was established to hide the position.

After several days and nights of reconnaissance, the scouts figured out the situation. After the above research, it was decided that the task of uprooting this enemy stronghold fell to them.

Less than two days after he came out of the hospital, he didn't catch up with the early reconnaissance activities. But he participated in this eradication operation, and he didn't fall behind with Zhang Wenwen.

There are more than 100 combat teams in total, divided into five combat groups, and adopt three-way assault tactics.

The scout squad was responsible for the attack in the middle, reinforced with heavy firepower with two 60 mortars and one Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun. There are two auxiliary attack squads on the left and right sides, and the specific tactic is to launch a fierce feint attack on both sides when necessary after the artillery bombardment, so as to attract firepower from the hill and prevent the enemy from escaping from the mountain beams on both sides.

In the middle lane, after launching an attack, they fought hard to break through and occupy the entrance of the cave, and then everyone attacked from three directions to take the top of the mountain.

Behind the three assault groups was an infantry platoon, whose task was to suppress fire on the hill at any time. The command group at the mouth of the valley is responsible for communication support and mobile command.

In addition, there is a reserve team of more than 30 people, some of whom are responsible for observation, and are responsible for the vigilance of the command group.

The operation was well planned and under their control, and everyone thought it would be easy to pull the nail out.

But what they didn't expect was that the assault group attacking on the right flank was accidentally exposed, they were too far forward, and they fought with the vanguard of the enemy's descent down the mountain, and were suppressed by the enemy's heavy machine guns and grenades.

Everyone is under the nose of the enemy, and now they can no longer retreat, so they can only launch an attack in advance and fight to the death.

The heavy fire of the enemy on the hilltop position was very heavy, and the bullets rained down on the right ridge. Frontal enemies also began to fire exploratory fire and drop grenades. The situation suddenly became uncontrollable, and the shelling had not yet begun, Ge Xiaoming crawled over here and asked what to do.

Before he could answer, Zhang Wenwen beside him said: "It's not time for the shelling yet, let's see if the command group can request the shelling in advance?" ”

Squad leader Ge looked forward.

Forward and said, "You are our commander, and you have full authority." The individual agreed to launch an attack in advance, requesting direct artillery support from the gun platoon. ”

"I agree too! Otherwise, the sacrifice on the right side will be great. Zhang Wenwen didn't think much about it, and immediately expressed his support.

"Good! We rushed forward. Ge Xiaoming said.

The command group was set up on a gentle slope not far from the ravine, and the team leader, Zhang Xingwu, held a telescope and could monitor every move here. Ge Xiaoming took the walkie-talkie and asked to launch an attack in advance, which was quickly approved.

The firearms of the cannon platoon began to speak, and suppressed fire on the high ground and the hole. Dense rockets from the rear also began to fly from the mountain beams, smashing into the target area with a strange roar. The sound sounded terrifying, and soon the mountain was on fire.

Covered by powerful rockets, the enemy's suppressive fire on the right ridge was wiped out.

"Action!"

Taking advantage of the shelling, everyone got up one after another and climbed up quickly in the bushes, trying to climb about 20 meters. Only by taking the opportunity to approach the entrance of the enemy-occupied cave can we launch an attack as soon as possible after the artillery attack.

From time to time, the dirt that was blown up above the crawl fell and fell on everyone. Soon all of them reached the standby position for the final attack, temporarily stopped the action, and one by one gasped and waited for the artillery fire above to explode.

Holding the Bayi automatic rifle forward, he crouched sideways under a rock, dodging the falling rocks and branches. Next to the rocks are shallow grasses, which are easy to look up to.

But he didn't look up, there were at least ten minutes of intensive shelling, it was a long process, all you needed was patience.

The mountain shook violently in the sound of the explosion. Crawling sideways like this, he kept shaking his shoulders with the mountain.

Two mortarmen came with a meal guy, and they met here to set up a firing position. The slope is too steep, and it takes a lot of professional skills to shoot the cannon up.

Look at them forward, and move back so that they can lay down their barrels and ammunition and use their sapper pickaxes to plow the ground.

At this time, Zhang Wenwen, who was next to a bush below, climbed up and hid under the rock with Xiangxiang. Under the pressure of the gunpowder smoke from the mountain, a black patch filled the surroundings.

"Onward, do you want to smoke?" Zhang Wenshu shouted amid the explosion.

"Don't, smoke it yourself!" He turned his head forward and leaned on the ground. He saw Zhang Wenshu holding a cigarette in his mouth and touching a match on his body.

"I've got it here, in my right pocket." Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Wenwen's hand had already reached into his waist pocket.

Suddenly there was a gunshot from the side, and I heard someone shouting at a sharp voice in the explosion: "The enemy is down!" Three enemies have rushed down! ”

The bullet came down and sparked on the rock where the two were dodging. The two mortar gunners who had built the firing fortifications screamed and hurriedly crawled here with a rolling belt, and everyone huddled together.

Zhang Wenwen turned around, still holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and as soon as the gunfire above stopped, he immediately half-squatted up and stretched out his head to look up. At the same time, the Bayi gun in his hand rang out, and he kept firing bursts, and four or five bullet casings popped out.
