Artillery fire preparation. attack, leave a dozen corpses to retreat, then artillery fire again to prepare, attack again...... Again and again, again and again! The tactics were monotonous and rigid, and the soldiers' will to fight became worse and worse, and later they almost turned around and ran away when they heard the guns of the volunteers. For a whole day, the U.S. military attacked like this.

The anti-slope plane basically rendered the US artillery fire useless, and they could not dispatch planes to come to support, and the US troops, who had lost their superiority in artillery fire and aircraft, were like tigers without teeth and claws, and could no longer exercise their prestige. Almost every time they attacked, they were caught up by the officials in the ass, but they often rushed back with a roar because one or two American soldiers were killed.

It is no wonder that all the veterans of the Chinese Volunteers who returned to China were very ashamed of the US military's will to fight, and they all called the Yankees "young master soldiers," saying that the American soldiers could not fight a war, and that they would retreat as soon as they saw bloodshed, and that they would not rush up as soon as they saw that there were lying down in front of them.

This makes the battle simple and monotonous, just like Zhao Yongxin said, it turns out that the American devils congratulate us on the new joy in this way!

I can't imagine that this unit in front of me is what MacArthur said: "If the squadron dares to fight, I will organize a massacre!" ”。 I think when he said that, all he saw in his eyes was the planes, the artillery, that they had. But he didn't realize that his soldiers were no longer as heroic as they were in the bloody battle with little Japan in the Pacific.

Of course, if I hadn't used the experience of the anticline in advance in the battle, this tactic of the US military would have been very effective. Because the volunteer soldiers are not good at fighting positional battles, today in history, it is also my position, countless volunteer soldiers are suffering heavy casualties under the bombardment of US artillery, and even the 30th Army, known as the Long Live Army, also complained: "Do you want the 38th Army, I haven't fought like this before!" ”

Looking at the moon slowly rising in the sky, my tense nerves also relaxed.

It's already the second day, and tomorrow, it's time to retreat. But I didn't get excited at all, because I knew that there was still a long, long road ahead, and I had to go back to battle in a few days...... The big army is almost here, and the fourth campaign of the Volunteer Army has just begun.

I don't want to fight, and neither do the Yankees, and the night just gives me, for them, an excuse not to fight. But in fact, I knew in my heart that this was the time for the volunteers to attack and create some trouble for the US military so that they could not sleep well. Because the night is the world of the volunteers.

As if in response to me, rows of volunteer soldiers suddenly appeared at the gray foot of the hill behind me and ran towards the front line. As they passed us, they greeted us with smiles:

"Comrade, hard work!"

"Comrade, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

……

"Where?" Huzi couldn't help but stand up and asked.

"Hit the Yankees!" A volunteer raised his rifle at Huzi.

"Then why don't you call us?" Huzi trotted along the way with the volunteer for a while, and hurriedly handed over a cigarette.

"We belong to the Thirty-Eighth Army!" The soldier took the cigarette and replied, "You have had enough during the day, and now that it is night, you should give us a portion!" ”

"Huzi ......" Seeing that Huzi had to follow all the way, I couldn't help but call him back.

"What's wrong with you?" I said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Comrades are on a mission." What are you doing with it? ”

"Battalion commander!" Huzi said anxiously: "Battalion commander, you say, how are we not as good as others?" If you want to fight the Yankees, you won't call us, will you flatten us or what? ”

"Nonsense!" The instructor heard what Huzi said nearby, and couldn't help but come up and lecture: "I said Comrade Huzi, yesterday you spoke at the meeting, saying that you can't just fight with the enemy, you have to use your brains, I thought you had grown up, why are you still so virtuous?" ”

"Instructor ......"

"This is not a general attack!" The instructor interrupted Huzi's words and continued: "People are going to beat the Yankees to make them sleep badly, so that they will all become soft legs tomorrow." What are we doing? Besides, if we go up, who will defend the position? ”

"Huh? That's ......" Huzi touched his head and said embarrassedly: "That's good, that's good!" I'm afraid I'll be looked down upon! ”

"I said Comrade Huzi, ......"

"Comrades!" Just when the instructor was about to do ideological work for Huzi, two volunteer soldiers ran up with a basket.

"Come on...... Comrades! It's the New Year, the candy that your superiors gave you! There's something for everyone! The two warriors said as they pulled candy out of their baskets and handed them out.

"Hey! There is candy hair...... "The soldiers were happy when they heard it, and they lined up to lead the line at a hula, and I also followed to get one, and at first glance it was an ordinary gummy, wrapped in a red plastic paper. It is written in traditional Chinese with the words "Made in China".

If only in modern times I wouldn't have such a small candy, it's all for children. But now...... I've been mixing fried noodles with snow for months, and I haven't tasted sweet for a long time. So I opened the package and slowly put the gummies in my mouth, a kind of long-lost sweetness, so sweet that my heart itched......

Look at the comrades-in-arms again, everyone looks at the candy left and right, but they are reluctant to eat it, and they can't stand it, so they pick it up and lick it, and then carefully wrap it up and put it in their pockets.

"Comrades!" After the two volunteers finished distributing the candy, they clenched their fists happily and said: "Tell everyone good news, our air force comrades have won a great victory!" The enemy plane has been taken down! ”

"Really? Do we have a plane too? ”

"And knocked down the Yankees' plane?"

……

Upon hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, and all of them couldn't believe this fact.

"Really! Two to zero, shoot down two Yankees! ”

"Good! Hit him shit! "The volunteer soldiers were usually fed up with the anger of the enemy's planes, and when they heard that we also had planes, and they had also shot down two enemy planes, they all waved their fists excitedly and applauded.

The MiG finally made a move, and I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart that as soon as the MiG planes were so disturbed, the US planes would have no time to take care of our battlefield.

The Soviet MiG-15 is one of the most advanced aircraft in the world today, and only the American F-86 can compete with it, and since then the sky of North Korea has no longer been entirely under the control of the American military. It's just that the number of planes sold to us by the Soviet Union is limited, and pilots can't be trained in a while, so the air power of the Volunteer Army still can't compete with the US military.

I was just thinking about it, when there were suddenly bursts of fierce gunfire and shouts of killing in the darkness ahead, and I thought that the comrades of the 38th Army had done it with the Yankees, and the soldiers all waved their fists excitedly and applauded, and some even climbed to the top of the mountain to have a look.

I, on the other hand, dragged my tired body with a gun on my back and walked into the tunnel, and I needed to rest. Only by cultivating enough spirit can we better deal with tomorrow's US attack.

The next day, we waited all morning at the fortifications and did not see any movement of the American troops, and the soldiers all laughed and said that they were beaten too hard by the 38th Army last night and could not get out of bed today.

Seeing that the sun was about to rise and it was time for us to retreat, the sentries on the ridge line raised a banner at us, telling us that the American army had attacked again.

"Yo! Feelings: These Yankees are still reluctant to let us go, and come to send us bullets! Huzi's words made the soldiers laugh, and there was no tension at all like two days ago, and I didn't care about the attack of the American army. Without the assistance of aircraft, and without the superiority of artillery, it would not be difficult to repel the attack of these Yankees.

But soon something unexpected happened.

As soon as the fighters were ready in the bunker, there was a mortar fire from the opposite side, and we didn't pay attention to the sound we began to hear. The enemy's direct-fire artillery could not hit the anti-slope, and mortars have not been used to assist them these days. But because they couldn't see the target at all, it was just a blind fight, and the fighters were simply fine hiding in bunkers. On the contrary, the mortars of the Volunteer Army can still play a role, because our gunners can choose a few relatively gentle places on the positive slope as targets, adjust the Zhuyuan in advance, and when there are American troops passing by the target, the sentry will wave the flag and the gunner will fire.

I think the American gunners must be wondering why the gunners of the Chinese ** people seem to be able to see the targets on the other side of the hill and accurately blast the shells on their heads. It's a pity that the volunteer army didn't have many shells, and it ran out before two battles. Otherwise, you can fight against those American gunners now.

When the sound of American mortars sounded, I habitually leaned down and lowered my head under the cover, but after a long time I did not hear the explosion, and I unexpectedly raised my head to look around the position, and was stunned to find that there were clouds of white smoke rising from the position, some of which were also emitting terrifying colored smoke, and suddenly there was a pungent smell of smoke and pungent smell all around.

"Gas bombs!" I don't know who shouted, and suddenly the soldiers panicked, because many of them had fought Little Japan, and they had more or less heard, seen, and even experienced poison gas battles. We all know that this poison gas is much more powerful than airplanes, tanks, and artillery.

I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and after greeting the Yankee's mother in my heart, I ordered in a loud voice: "Quickly enter the tunnel, and immediately block all the tunnel entrances after entering the tunnel." ”

Without looking back, he ran to the nearest tunnel.

As soon as the soldiers retreated into the tunnel, they tacitly sealed all the tunnel openings and ventilation holes as quickly as possible. Suddenly, the tunnel fell into darkness again. There was silence all around, there was no cannon fire or gunfire, only a few sobs, and I don't know which volunteer soldier was injured by the poison gas or what!

"Battalion commander! Camp Commander Choi! ”

"Here!" In the dark, I heard that it was Zhao Yongxin's voice, so I answered.

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Yongxin asked in a low voice, "What should I do now?" We are all hiding in this tunnel, that is, we don't know when we can get out, and we don't know when the enemy will come up! Isn't it blocked in the tunnel if it goes on like this? ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this is a problem, no one knows when the poisonous gas outside will disperse, and I can't open the mouth of the pit to look out, in case the poisonous gas pours into the pit violently......

At this time, the sobbing sound came faintly again, and Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but scold: "I said what are you crying for?" Shame on you like a, isn't it? ”

"I don't know, I don't know......" The soldier in the dark cried and said aggrievedly: "I don't know what this is, tears, snot, and saliva just keep flowing......"

"It turned out to be tear gas!" I couldn't help but feel a little relieved when I heard this, and I thought that even if the Yankees didn't pay attention to humanitarianism, they would not dare to openly use poison gas bombs that violated the Geneva Conventions on the battlefield where there were many other countries' troops. They used it later, and they also secretly stuffed poison gas bombs into the puppet army and borrowed their hands to use them.

This time we were facing the U.S. military, so the ones outside were certainly not gas bombs. Rather, it was some smoke grenades and tear gas, and their purpose was to use these things to make us unable to see the target, or to make us incapacitated for a short time, so that they could occupy ground positions and seal us in the tunnels.

These U.S. troops are not stupid, they will all think of this method. If my prediction is correct, I am afraid that many American troops wearing gas masks are already looking for the mouth of the tunnel on the ground position.

But what can we do?

Rush out? There was tear gas everywhere outside, and we would still lose our ability to fight if we rushed out, or we would still be a lamb to the slaughter.

Don't rush out? When the smoke has not dissipated, it may be difficult for the US military to find the mouth of the tunnel, but after a long time the smoke has dissipated, the mouth of the tunnel with sandbags is not a louse on the bald head, it is obvious.

"Notify all cadres to the battalion headquarters as quickly as possible!" I dropped a word and went down the tunnel to the battalion headquarters.

"Battalion commander. Camp Commander Xu! "The battalion headquarters is not difficult to find, and it is along the tunnel to the corner, perhaps because I am afraid that the air in the tunnel is not enough to light the lights, so it is dark around and I can't see anyone at all.

"Here!" In the dark, Battalion Commander Xu answered.

"Is the instructor there too?"

"In! We're all fine! The instructor answered.

"Battalion commander, instructor!" In the dark, I habitually saluted, and then repeated my analysis to them, and Camp Commander Xu and the instructor couldn't help but gasp after hearing this.

"What Camp Commander Cui said makes sense!" The instructor gritted his teeth and said: "I was still wondering just now, it is said that if the US military uses poison gas bombs, this poison gas will not be dispersed for a while and a half, and the US troops will not be able to pass over our formation." By the time the gas clears, I'm afraid it will be evening, and they won't be able to occupy our positions by then. Hearing you say that, I kind of get it. ”

The instructor must have fought a gas battle with little Japan, and that's right to the point.

"!" Xu Feng scolded: "If you go out, you will die, if you don't go out, you will die, let's just go out and fight with them, I want to see how powerful that tear gas is, I don't believe it can make me cry!" ”

"Don't be impulsive to Camp Commander Xu." The instructor hurriedly persuaded: "This battle is to be dripped, but it must not be brutal, and there must be a feasible plan......

At this point, a warrior climbed down above my head and almost ran into me, reminding me of this pit leading to the top of the mountain. Seeing this, I couldn't help but think about it, and I didn't explain much to the battalion commander and instructor, so I hurriedly called a dozen soldiers to gather in the tunnel at the top of the mountain, and climbed all the way up the tunnel myself.

After a while, the soldiers also came up, followed by the battalion commander and instructors. Although the tunnel above is relatively narrow, in order to facilitate the stationing of troops, a relatively open space was dug at the intersection of several exits, so it does not look crowded.

"Comrades!" When I saw that everyone was almost there, I whispered an order: "There may be enemies outside, but it is difficult for them to find you because of the smoke, and the difficulty is the tear gas outside, although it is not poisonous gas, but it will make you very uncomfortable, you can cover your mouth and nose with a towel." What you have to do is to go out and bury the mouths of the several tunnels on the top of this mountain, can you do it? ”

"It can be done!" The warriors replied in a whisper.

"Good!" I then ordered: "There are five exits to the top of the mountain, you go out from the middle one, seal the other four exits as fast as you can, so that there are no traces, and then come back, don't get lost!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately felt towards the exit one after another, and the two soldiers who took the lead pulled the sandbags down, and their eyes lit up, and a pungent smoke quickly poured in, only to smoke the soldiers' snot and tears. But they didn't stop, they opened the sandbags and rushed into the smoke without hesitation.

Watching the smoke pour in, I hurriedly tore off the towel to cover my mouth and nose, I wanted to close my eyes but I wanted to see the situation outside, so I had to endure the burning pain from my eyes and poke my head out to look out.

The visibility outside was very poor, the whole sky was obscured by smoke, and if some American troops wore gas masks and walked inside, they might not be able to detect the enemy in front of them.

As I was talking, I suddenly heard a "plop" sound, as if something had fallen from above, and when I touched it was a person's leg, it turned out to be a U.S. soldier who fell from it with one foot in the air. I quickly ran down my leg and sat on his back, then pressed his head to the ground.

The American soldier wearing a gas mask was pressed by me like this, and he immediately lost his breath, and his hands and feet kicked around for a while, which slowly turned into convulsions, and finally relaxed and never moved again.

I dragged it into the pit with snot and tears on my face, I didn't want the soldiers to be knocked down by him when they returned, or wait for the smoke to clear up so that the American GIs could easily discover the pit mouth! ~!
