Chapter 42 Seminars

Chapter 42 Seminars

"I have just received an order from my superiors to arbitrarily select targets below the battalion level to attack."

The first thing I did when I returned to the regimental headquarters was to convene a meeting of the battalion commanders and instructors in the regiment and convey the general content and ideas of the divisional meeting. Of course, I will not talk so much as to reveal the true intention of the higher-level organization to make a large-scale "small fight". Not to mention that in this direction of our troops, it cannot be called a "small fight"

"Okay, it's going to be fought again"

"I haven't moved for a few days and I'm panicking, this battle is coming at the right time"

……

As soon as I finished speaking, the fighters all raised their hands excitedly to show a strong positive 'sex'. The soldiers of the Volunteer Army are like this, when there is a battle, they all scream with joy, and they have never seen them mention any difficulties.

"Regiment Leader" Hu Biao stood in front of me with a golden knife and said: "Don't choose our position, what else can we have besides the 902.8 high ground in front of us?" During this time, the soldiers of our battalion all gritted their teeth with hatred for this highland, and now they have finally seized the opportunity to take revenge."

"And our three battalions" Li Weiqiang said: "This 902.8 highland is indeed hateful, and I agree to fight it."

There is a reason why Hu Biao and Li Weiqiang have such a big opinion on the 902.8 heights, one of them is the commander of the first battalion, and the other is the commander of the third battalion, both of which are stationed on the 649.8 heights, and they are usually pressed and beaten by the enemy on the 902.8 heights.

"The target is indeed 902.8 highlands"

My words immediately aroused a round of applause from the soldiers. The truth is that all my preparations are on the 902.8 heights, even if I am not allowed to hit the 902.8 highlands.

"Regiment Commander Cui" Liu Shunyi saluted me and reported: "The division headquarters has called, and our army's request for April and May fire shells has not yet been answered, and the artillery support for various combat units will be reduced. ”

"Hmm" I nodded, turned to the soldiers and said: "The current situation, comrades all understand, our battle is for world peace, for the armistice of Korea, and now the Yankees and the puppet army are shouting to be beaten, and the other is shouting to fight, let's give those guys who are calling for fighting."

"That's right, give them a good taste"

"Beat the until they are served"

……

"After discussion with the deputy regiment commander and political commissar, the battle plan is as follows......" I pointed to the 902.8 heights on the map and said: "A few days ago, Deputy Regiment Commander Liu organized a reconnaissance platoon on the enemy's 902.8 heights, and four cantonment tunnels were built at the front of the enemy's position, and tomorrow night, I will take the seventh company into the cantonment tunnels......"

When the "regiment commander" heard this, the soldiers couldn't help but exclaim: "How can this be done, you go up in person?" It's too dangerous."

"Yes, regimental commander" Hu Biao also 'interjected' and said: "I have no opinion on the seventh company entering the cantonment tunnel, but you can't go in person, so this matter will be 'handed over' to Li Guoqiang's command......"

"Why can't you get on? Shangganling, I didn't come from the tunnel? I asked rhetorically: "Besides, although the Seventh Company is an 'elite' force, none of them have fought in tunnel warfare, what if something goes wrong then, take the soldiers of the whole regiment to fill it?" ”

As soon as I said this, the fighters were silent. I'm talking about the point, the soldiers of the 180th Division, including Li Guoqiang, have no experience in fighting tunnel warfare, and no one can compare to me, the regiment commander who has just come down from Shangganling.

Besides, the mission of the Seventh Company is also crucial. If the 7th Company can successfully lay down the enemy's position and hold out until reinforcements arrive, then the battle will be converted into the form of our defending enemy attack, which is very beneficial to our army. And once the operation of the Seventh Company fails, it means that we will be taken by surprise, and it means that our strategic objectives will be completely 'exposed' in front of the enemy, and then this battle will not be fought.

Seeing that the soldiers were silent, I continued to order: "The task of the Seventh Company is to move to the 902.8 Heights tomorrow night to enter the cantonment tunnel, and at the same time launch a surprise attack at 9 o'clock in the evening of the 13th, and quickly occupy the hilltop position of the 902.8 Heights puppet army, and hold on for two to three hours waiting for reinforcements."

"Yes," Li Guoqiang responded.

"The third battalion is the second echelon......," I glanced at Li Weiqiang and said: "You will enter the 902.8 position tomorrow night and lurk at the foot of the mountain, and then quickly reinforce the seventh company until the battle of the seventh company starts, and ask you to lurk and abide by discipline, the reinforcements move quickly, and you must pay attention to the mines planted by the puppet army on the road." Is there confidence? ”

There is a "guarantee to complete the task," Li Weiqiang replied.

"The first battalion is responsible for defending the 649.8 heights." I continued to order: "Is there a problem with one company of the second battalion responsible for defending the 510 heights, and the other two companies as reserves, ready to reinforce the 902.8 heights at any time?" ”

"No," the fighters replied in unison.

"Commander, I have a problem," the soldiers heard Hu Biao's voice as soon as they finished speaking.

Hu Biao's reaction had been expected by me, but I still nodded knowingly and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"Report to the regiment commander" Hu Biao unconvinced and said: "Our battalion has never complained of hardship or tiredness in battle, and we have never mentioned difficulties when we go to the battlefield, why can't we even have a reserve this time?" ”

"I didn't say that your battalion can't fight," I replied, "Tell me how many battles your battalion has fought and how many people are left."

"There are ...... left. More than three hundred," Hu Biao replied with some hesitation.

"Do you want to use more than 300 people as the second echelon?" I asked rhetorically: "Even if you add the Seventh Company, there are only more than 500 people, so use our more than 500 people to fight the two battalions of the puppet army?" ”

"That'...... Will those three battalions be able to complete their mission? Hu Biao said with some concern: "Many of the three battalions are recruits, such as the Ninth Company, all of them are recruits who have just graduated from the infantry school, and they have never been on the battlefield, so let them go to lurk?" ”

I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Li Weiqiang, the commander of the third battalion, and the rest of the soldiers also looked at Li Weiqiang.

This is actually exactly what I'm worried about, if it's a war, it's better to say, new recruits are new recruits, as long as they don't dare to fire their guns in fear, they can play a role on the battlefield. Besides, Jiang Changshun's group of soldiers who came out of the infantry school are all of good quality, and they are not so bad.

But this is different, and I dare say that there is no such thing as stealth in their military training. We're going to lurk under the enemy's nose all day, and if any of the soldiers is exposed, it will be the end of the annihilation......

"Report Regiment Leader" looked at our eyes, Li Weiqiang replied with certainty: "The Ninth Company is all soldiers from the infantry school, and they have a foundation, plus during this time, we deliberately let them go to the battlefield to adapt to the environment, and occasionally go out to fight cold shots, so they are no longer recruits." I believe that they will be able to handle this hidden mission, please rest assured that the regimental commander will 'hand' over the mission to us."

I nodded and said, "I'll do a good job of doing ideological work for them later, and emphasize more discipline in hidden combat."

"Yes," Li Weiqiang responded.

"Third battalion commander......" Hu Biao glared at Li Weiqiang viciously and said: "This is what you said, you must know that the life of our regiment commander is in your hands, if something goes wrong, I will be the first to spare you."

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and soon understood what Hu Biao meant. If Li Weiqiang's soldiers are 'exposed' in the lurking operation, then the puppet army will definitely launch a large-scale search, and our Seventh Company will also be more than lucky. On the other hand, if Li Weiqiang can't arrive in time to reinforce us, our Seventh Company will also be lucky and fierce.

Hu Biao is really right, to a certain extent, my life is still on Li Weiqiang.

"Don't worry, Camp Commander Hu" Li Weiqiang replied with confidence: "If you can't complete the task, don't say that you won't let me go, I'll see you myself."

"I said a few of you ......" Li Pinghe couldn't help but quip: "Don't say who can't spare anyone, if you can't complete the task, the first one who can't spare you is the puppet army."

Li Pinghe's words drew a heartfelt laugh from the soldiers.

"That's it," I concluded, "all units go back and prepare for battle, and leave on time at nine o'clock tomorrow night."

"Yes," the soldiers answered, and they went back to their units to prepare.

"Head of Mission"

When I was wiping the M1 rifle in the tunnel and sorting out the ammunition to prepare for tomorrow's battle, Lin Xue's report came from outside the tunnel, and I couldn't help but be stunned: This girl turned 'sex' today? Usually he deliberately avoids me, but today he openly came to the regiment headquarters to find me......

But it seems that a soldier has something to find the regiment commander, that's also very normal I couldn't help but look at the dozen or so people who were busy in the regiment headquarters, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how good it would be if there was no one

"Come in," I replied in a huff, and very boredly turned my attention to the rifle in my hand.

"Report Regiment Commander" Lin Xue walked into the tunnel, gave a standard military salute in front of me, and said: "The Ninth Company is holding a latent seminar, and Company Commander Jiang wants you to participate in it, and at the same time give some advice to the soldiers."

"Sleeper Seminar?" Listening to this word, I can't help but feel a little fresh, this Ninth Company is really worthy of being a soldier who came out of the infantry school, and the level of education is different

Then I quickly thought of Jiang Changshun's intentions, which was to let the soldiers understand the discipline of hidden combat, and second, to show me that they had the ability and confidence to complete the tasks I had 'assigned' to them. As for why you asked Lin Xue to invite me...... This is not clear

I nodded, leaned my rifle aside, stood up, straightened my crumpled cotton clothes, and walked towards the pit of the Ninth Company with Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue.

"I said Comrade Lin Xue" As I walked, I casually asked Lin Xue beside me: "You are not a soldier of the Ninth Company now, why do you still listen to the call of Company Commander Jiang?" ”

"Then ......" Lin Xue also felt that something was wrong when she heard my words, and hesitated before explaining: "Then he is the company commander, I am a soldier, of course I have to listen to his orders"

"I'm afraid it's not just because of this," I whispered: "Your Company Commander Jiang is afraid that he won't move me, so he specially ...... Hey hey ......"

I suddenly realized that my laughter was the same as that of Wang Xinhe, and it seemed to be even worse than his laughter. The so-called black who is close to ink is red near Zhu, this is really good.

Looking at Lin Xue again, she glared at me fiercely, and secretly glanced at the two guards behind me, and she didn't dare to speak anymore and just walked with her face red and her head down.

Looking at Lin Xue's unnatural body, my heart seemed to be happy to bloom. In this battlefield where people everywhere they go, it is impossible to move their hands and feet, only to joke like this and be satisfied in my heart.

The tunnel of the Ninth Company is not far, only one mile away from the regiment headquarters, but it takes more than ten minutes to arrive.

The light in the tunnel was very dim, and I bent down and walked in for a while, and when I came to a corner, I could faintly see the light of a kerosene lamp, under which a large number of volunteer soldiers were sitting in a crowded manner, discussing something.

"Captain"

"Captain"

……

As soon as they saw me coming, the warriors stood up and saluted me, all with friendly smiles on their faces. For some reason, I also have a special affection for the soldiers of the Ninth Company. I can't say why, maybe...... In addition to the comrade-in-arms relationship, there is also an extra layer of classmate relationship with them, or maybe it's because of Lin Xue, I love the house and Wu

"Sit and sit...... You continue," I motioned for the soldiers to sit down, and then leaned over and sat down on one of the bullet boxes that Jiang Changshun had given up for me.

"Let me ask you another question...... "" a soldier with a Sichuan accent said, "The sound in the valley is far away, what if you cough and let the enemy hear you?" ”

"Little question," one fighter replied, "You won't quit smoking?" ”

"I just don't smoke, I still have to cough when my throat is itchy."

"There is a way," replied another fighter, "dig a small pit in the ground with your hands, put a 'hairy' towel on your mouth, bury your head in the pit and cough, so that the sound is much quieter"

"If you encounter a cold cannon explosion, you can cough a few times"

"I still have a question," a soldier with a Henan accent looked at everyone and said a little embarrassed: "What if I sleep and snore?" ”

There was a loud bang, and the warriors all laughed. Later, I learned that the snoring of this Henan soldier was like thunder, and it could be heard through a tunnel.

"Then don't sleep," replied some of the fighters.

The soldier from Henan said with a sad face: "If you are so sleepy that your eyelids are fighting, you can't help but fall asleep......"

"It doesn't matter," a warrior rolled up his sleeves to show the muscles and flesh on his arms, and said, "I'm lurking next to you, and you're going to fall asleep, so I'll give you a hard time."

As soon as the words ended, the soldiers in the tunnel burst into laughter again.

At this time, I don't know who said: "What if I am injured by the enemy's stray bullet during the lurking process?" ”

The laughter abruptly stopped, and it was clear that this was the most serious problem that the fighters had to face, and the lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell silent.

"I'll say," Lin Xue 'interjected': "We can each carry a first-aid kit on their bodies, and comrades can bandage each other if they are injured."

"This is not good" Jiang Changshun shook his head and said: "The bandage is white 'colored', and it is very conspicuous when bandaged. Even if we can do a good job of concealment in time, the bandaging action will often be too large, and it is easy to 'expose' the whole army."

There was silence in the tunnel again, and it was clear that the warriors had no good idea of what to do with this thorny problem

"Commander Cui...... "Jiang Changshun set his eyes on me, and the soldiers also set their eyes on me, and I instantly became the focus of all the soldiers.

I nodded helplessly, took the hot potato, and said earnestly: "Let me tell you a story, that is, a few days before the Battle of Shangganling, our army was ordered to attack the enemy's 351 heights, and I led a company to lurk in the grass in front of the 351 heights. Coincidentally, this company is also 9 companies like you, 45 companies of the 135th Regiment of the 9th Division. Just like what a few fighters said just now, there are many difficulties in lurking, such as coughing, sleeping, numbness in hands and feet, cold, hunger, etc., which usually seem to be nothing, but when they are lurking, they will become a kind of test, a kind of torment, but the biggest difficulty is not this, the enemy sensed that there was danger in the grass, so he fired a few incendiary bombs at our lurking position......"

"Molotov cocktail"

Several fighters couldn't help but stand up and nervously asked, "What happened next?" Was it discovered by the enemy? ”

"Not discovered by the enemy" I shook my head slightly: "Do you know why it was not discovered by the enemy?" The fire of the incendiary bomb 'spilled' to a soldier who was a few meters behind me, and there was even a ditch next to him, and he could climb into the ditch and put out the fire as long as he turned over or sneaked a few steps, but he didn't do that, he lay still the whole time, his fingers digging tightly into the dirt until the flames completely engulfed him, until he couldn't move anymore......

His name is Qiu Shaoyun."

There was silence in the tunnel, and the soldiers were obviously shocked by the story, especially when the scene was depicted by me, who had seen it with my own eyes.

"I'll come on," it took a long time for a soldier to stand up and say: "If you are accidentally wounded, you will never crawl and move in a 'disorderly' way for the enemy to discover, and whoever becomes a soft bone will be a sinner in the whole army and the people of the whole country, and I promise that if you are injured, you will never 'scream' or 'move' in a 'disorder' way."

"We must learn from Comrade Qiu Shaoyun, even if we are crushed to pieces, we must ensure the safety of the collective, in exchange for victory in the battle"

……

The warriors spoke their minds word by word, and I silently withdrew from the tunnel.

Actually, I didn't want to tell them the story and didn't want them to do it, but I had to
