The sunset stained the sky red, and this group of dirty, exhausted, battle-tested surviving soldiers was about to withdraw to the company headquarters first. Early tomorrow morning, you can set off against the rising sun and leave this place of life and death full of gunsmoke and blood.

After the bodies of the recently fallen were exhumed, especially the soldiers of the second squad, they wept bitterly and suddenly refused to leave.

After all, there was no mental preparation in advance, and everyone was a little reluctant to leave. Although everyone wants to leave this place early, after all, they bought it with their lives, and after paying so much, they can't bear to suddenly give up and leave.

"Company commander! You let us stay and stay with them for the night! "Stand in the trenches, take a step forward, salute the company commander and make a final request.

"Yes! Company commander, today we are not leaving! "All the fighters of the third squad said.

Looking at these fearless soldiers, their faces were all dyed red by the last red light of the setting sun, and the expressions on those dirty faces covered with sweat and mud turned solemn from attachment and pleading.

The company commander was silent, and finally had to nod solemnly.

When it was almost dark, he marched forward and said to the new company commander: "Eighth company commander, believe it or not, this position is a bit strange, and the enemy will have a big gift to give to anyone who is new." ”

The company commander laughed and said, "Believe, why don't you believe it?" We have come to receive the ceremony. There will be a big battle tonight, and we are all ready, and I will immediately deploy my forces to receive their gifts. ”

I didn't understand it a little when I moved forward, so I quickly asked how to say this.

The commander of the eighth company replied: "Our intelligence officers have obtained reliable news that the opponent on the opposite side has been replaced, and their commander has formulated a set of tactics, and he wants to use this place to report to them with exemplary results." ”

Hearing this, I was completely surprised to move forward: "Then how did we completely keep it in the dark?" ”

The commander of the eighth company nodded: "Top secret!" I shouldn't tell you now, but it doesn't matter, we'll see you tonight, you have to know a rough idea, so you know the bottom of your heart. You asked to stay, which helped me a lot, after all, if you didn't come up just now, I didn't implement it. That's why I'm telling you this! ”

This is how people are like this, mutual help and trust.

Now moving forward, quietly following a few soldiers in the squad and the new friendly fighters, lying on the surface of the position, the muzzle of the gun pointed ahead. This company commander's method of deployment is completely different, and he is not sure whether it is feasible or not.

But since the position has been handed over, he voluntarily stayed to assist in the defense, and of course he had to obey the arrangements of others.

According to the information brought by this company commander, the regimental commander of the enemy army on the opposite side has been replaced, and there may be a big move tonight, so they hurried here.

According to the commander of the Eighth Company, the current commander of the enemy regiment, Ruan Minh Jie, once lived in the Kunming Infantry School and was well versed in the tactics of our infantry.

After listening to the report of his subordinates who had been unable to attack for a long time, he sent scouts to conduct surface reconnaissance in broad daylight, and he came to the following conclusion: "The enemy's soldiers are very cunning and experienced, and they have long dug tunnels at the front of the position, and the defensive forces are all concentrated there. ”

Everyone listened to his high arguments, and they didn't know if they were reliable, but it sounded very good.

Commander Ruan continued: "And the trenches and tunnels on the position, which are used to empty the city, and our previous artillery strikes are to blow up those trenches and tunnels in the back, just a fart?" Tonight, I will organize a company of agents to touch it, and the artillery fire will be rushed for 15 minutes, and all of them will be smashed within 60 meters of the enemy's forward position. ”

He pointed to the map and continued to express his opinion: "Here on the map, not a single shell will fall behind the first trench, and the ammunition will be wasted. Fifteen minutes after the bombardment front, blow up the counter-raid tunnels and individual pits for me, and the agent company will be able to get rid of them without even firing a single shot. ”

Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds like it feels powerful and seems to work.

During the War of Resistance Against the United States, their chief of staff, Wu Wenba, was also trained in Yiliang here, and remembered a movie clip, which happened to be used at this time, and immediately gave a thin thumbs up: "The head of the regiment is high!" High, really high! ”

"The artillery is going to bombard the front line repeatedly, blowing up the surface for me, and burying those guys alive." Captain Ruan angrily slammed his fist on the table.

After repeated reconnaissance, the artillery fire hit the elements very clearly and carefully, and the accuracy has been required to the highest. Regiment Commander Nguyen demanded that not a single shell be wasted, and that each shell should fall on a predetermined point.

So a company of agents set out at the scheduled time for the night, they were the main attack company, the elite of the elite who had been drawn out.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the sky was full of stars. The mountain wind is strong, but the heat is unabated. On the surface of the position, everyone was lying on their stomachs under the blades of grass like that, with heavy machine guns mounted in the middle, and they were really worried about moving forward.

This is a position that has been turned over many times by enemy shells, and if a shell falls on a surface divided by a trench, all those who lie on it will be killed.

This company commander commanded like this, but he was afraid that he would make a big mistake. A company may lose its combat effectiveness overnight.

But maybe he got some accurate information, that is, the opponent's battle plan and deployment, etc., in that case, he was destined to become famous in this battle.

Who knows?

Everyone was covered with blades of grass, no one turned over, no one spoke, and there was absolute silence.

Time passed quickly, and in the second half of the night it was finally a little cooler. Moving his body slightly, he felt a little paralyzed on the left side of his lower body.

Suddenly, the sound of helmets striking on branches came from the woods ahead, and although it was far away, it was audible clearly.

"There's a situation, it seems to be coming up!" Li Guozhu, who was next to him, also heard this voice, and said softly.

Hurriedly said in a low voice, "Pay attention to discipline!" ”

Li Guozhu stopped.

Suddenly, a huge and strange whistling sound sounded in the night sky, and when I looked up, I saw countless artillery fire rushing towards me with tail flames, which looked extremely spectacular from afar, but instantly smashed straight into the position and came towards everyone.

Advancing in a daze, he noticed that a few soldiers were probably afraid, and hurriedly jumped off the ground to drill cat ear holes in the trench, and the company commander shouted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, everyone, don't move on your stomach, and pay attention to the enemy situation in front of you." ”

Although the soldiers in the original platoon were afraid, they resolutely carried out the order and did not move a single one. The soldier who had just come up jumped a third of the way down on the surface.
