Xiao Cui! After chatting for a while, the veteran soldier said earnestly: "Now that the two sides of the 'warring' war have sat down at the negotiating table, although there is still a little fighting, the battle situation on the front line has basically stabilized. We have also been paying attention to a question in China, that is, in which direction the war situation will develop in the future, "It's just that we old guys, none of us can go to the battlefield, and it is difficult for people to effectively grasp the situation on the battlefield if they are not on the battlefield, so I want to hear your opinion!" ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but hesitate when I heard this.

I'm hesitant not because it's hard to answer, in fact, this question is too simple for me, after all, I'm from the modern era, and I can tell all the developments of the battle situation clearly. For example, when will the U.S. military attack, when will it withdraw, Syngman Rhee's attempt to sabotage the negotiations, and so on. Even I can 'precisely' the month in time, and I can guarantee that it is true.

But then there will be a problem, if I say it like this, when these words are verified one by one, the old soldiers will not think that I am a god, and will treat me as a super agent or a double agent.

But I can't help but say that I have never had the opportunity to let the senior leaders of the Volunteer Army know about the future situation on the battlefield, and even if I had the opportunity to say it, the senior leaders would not necessarily take it seriously. It's rare to have this now. I don't want to let go of this opportunity so easily.

So I looked at the map on the table, thought about it, and replied cautiously: "The current situation on the battlefield is not only at a stalemate at the negotiating table, but also on the front. The negotiation lasted for several months and gave both sides plenty of time to prepare. Our army has deployed heavy troops on the front line, dug tunnels widely, stockpiled a large amount of strategic materials, and even made full preparations along the eastern and western coastlines. The fortifications of North Korea as a whole are like an iron bucket. The United Nations is no exception; using the standards of modern three-dimensional defense, such as aircraft, artillery, warships, tanks, and reinforced concrete fortifications, they have successively built three lines of defense, the "Ear Bright Line, the Wyoming Line, and the Kansas Line." Each line of defense has built strong fortifications and is equipped with a large number of mines and barbed wire.

As a result, the battle situation has become a stalemate in which the enemy cannot enter and we cannot fight. The battle line moved slightly along the 38th parallel. The battlefield has changed from the initial large-scale and large-depth offensive to the current battle for small troops and small heights! ”

The old soldier listened to me, nodded his head incessantly, and seemed to agree with my statement.

"What does Commander Choi mean" Li Pinghe couldn't help but 'interject' a sentence and said: "Is it that the Korean War will continue to be stalemate like this in the future!" ”

"No!" I shook my head and said, "On the surface, it seems that the battle has developed like this, and there is no room for either side to attack. But in fact, there are still leaks in our army's defense line, and the US army still has room to attack! ”

"And the 'hole'?" Li Pinghe couldn't help but look at me suspiciously, and couldn't wait to ask, "Where is it?" ”

"Here!" I pointed to the location of Wusheng Mountain on the map and said: "The advantage of the US military is that it has large-scale modern equipment, and although our army has received support from the Soviet Union, it is still far behind the United States in terms of equipment." Our army does not have a navy, the air force and tank corps are in their infancy, and they cannot compete with the joint army at all, so our army's defense can only rely on the mountains to contend with the US army, relying on tunnel fortifications and dark night to offset the gap in equipment, once the battle with the US army in the plain area, our army will be in a state of passive beating! "Makes sense!" Listening to my analysis, Li Pinghe nodded approvingly: "So the Five Holy Mountains are a small weakness. Although the terrain of the Wusheng Mountain area is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the US army captures the Wusheng Mountain, it will be followed by the Pingkang Plain. The U.S. armored forces will drive straight in, and the enemy's armored forces will be able to reach the city of Pyongyang in less than a day, which may defend the entire defense line of our army and may change the entire situation of the war! ”

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "I think so, South Korea is not the land of the US military, so the US military thinks that fighting for one more hill and one less hill on the 38th parallel is completely meaningless for them, and it will not do the US government any benefit except for increasing the material loss and casualties of the US military." So next time there is a war. If the US military does not fight, it will definitely fight a major war that has the potential to change the overall situation! So I make a bold guess that the target of the US military's next operation must be the Wusheng Mountain area! ”

The more Li Pinghe and I talked, the happier we became, and suddenly we saw the old soldier sitting next to us looking at us without saying a word and with a smile on his face, and we couldn't help but stop.

"Say! Go on! Seeing us stop, the old soldier couldn't help but nod and praise: "You guys said it very well! The analysis is thorough and reasonable. Especially Xiao Cui. It can consider the situation on the battlefield in conjunction with the political stance of the US military. This is especially valuable! Well said, move on! ”

"Uncle!" I took out my pocket watch and looked at the time, and I couldn't help but say, "It's getting late." Otherwise, we'll get back to it tomorrow! ”

"Yes! Uncle! Li Pinghe also persuaded him: "Anyway, we didn't leave so quickly, there is time in the future, and now it's already three o'clock in the morning."

"Wrong!" The old soldier refused with a spirit: "I slept during the day, where can I sleep now!" Besides, you don't know me, and when I talk about fighting, my whole body is full of energy, so keep going...

As he spoke, he pushed the map back in front of us.

Li Pinghe and I glanced at each other helplessly, and had to continue to move our gaze to the map. But with such an interruption, neither of us knew where to start.

"Actually, we have also taken into account what you said!" After being silent for a while, it was the old soldier who opened his mouth first, he nodded and said: "Your thoughts coincide with ours, and it's not just us, your boss also thinks so!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Li Pinghe didn't react, I couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly said that I really didn't think wrong, the old soldier in front of me was really not simple. He even knows what the boss in North Korea is thinking.

"But knowing that the enemy's eyes are fixed on the Five Holy Mountains, we don't have anything to do!" The old soldier frowned: "The area of the Five Holy Mountains is narrow, and the areas on its sides and rear are all plains, and there is no danger to defend, so it is impossible to deploy heavy troops at all." In this case, we will have to wait for the enemy to attack! ”

Li Pinghe and I were both not long after Liu came down from Wusheng Mountain. Therefore, it is clear that what the old soldier said is the truth, and when we arrived at Wusheng Mountain, the total strength of the forefront, the Helping Heights and the Kicking 7 Heights, was less than two companies.

This was partly due to the fact that everyone thought that the U.S. forces would not choose to attack on the concave 'yin' heights and leaving the 7 heights behind, and partly because the steep heights were not suitable for large troops.

This is very clear, if too many troops are stationed on those high grounds, the enemy will only need to bombard the defenders with a few rounds of aircraft and artillery, and the defenders will inflict a lot of casualties. Of course, the soldiers of the 7th and 7th heights of the cave, under my orders, dug many more tunnels, which can alleviate the problem to a certain extent.

"Uncle!" Looking at the map and thinking for a while, I said to the old soldier: "We can't do this and wait for nothing, this is passive defense, isn't it?" ”

"But what can we do?" Li Pinghe looked at the map and said with some embarrassment: "There are so many mountains in the Wusheng Mountain area, how many mountains can we conjure?" ”

"There are no mountains on the sides or behind, but there are mountains in front!" I replied.

"You mean, call it?"

"Yes, offense is defense!" I nodded and said, "In this way, not only can we have more troops stationed in the Wusheng Mountain area, but more importantly, it can provide a strategic buffer zone for the Wusheng Mountain, so that the US army will not directly threaten the Wusheng Mountain as soon as it comes up." ”

"But," Li Pinghe raised his head from the map and looked at me puzzled: "Didn't you just say that the US troops have made sufficient preparations in their positions and built a three-dimensional defense with aircraft, artillery, tanks, and reinforced concrete fortifications?" Now how,"

"Of course you can't charge like you used to!" I replied, "If we don't change our tactics, we won't change anything but inflict huge casualties on our troops!" ”

"Hmm! What new tactics does Xiao Cui have? Tell me about it! Listening to my words, the old soldier couldn't help but look at me expectantly.

"It's not a new tactic!" I explained: "Actually, we unconsciously used it when we were in the cold gun and cold artillery movement, but it was not used in the infantry charge!" ”

You mean, "Latent?" "Li Pinghe had seen us lurking in front of the enemy's position on the battlefield and firing cold shots, so he quickly thought of the answer.

"Yes!" I nodded, casually turned the two empty bowls on the table, pointed to the bottom of the bowls and said, "These are two high grounds, this is the high ground of our army, and this is the high ground of the enemy." Our troops are usually in the anti-slope tunnel, and when they want to attack, they must come out of the tunnel, move to the hilltop position, and then follow the positive slope all the way into the valley area, and then they can charge at the enemy's position. If we attack in this way, our troops will be intercepted by enemy fire in the process of moving towards the enemy's position, and there will be a large number of casualties, and when we attack the enemy's position, I am afraid that the impact on the enemy will be less than half of the original! ”

"To attack like this is to take the lives of the soldiers to withstand the enemy's bullets!" The old soldier made a judgment: "You must not fight like this!" ”

"I don't agree with that either!" Li Pinghe nodded and said, "It's too irresponsible to fight the lives of the fighters like this!" ”

"So I wondered," I said, pointing to the seams between the two bowls, "if we could have the attacking troops lurking here beforehand." When it's time to attack, 'touch' it as fast as possible."

"What?" Hearing this, the old soldier and Li Pinghe all cast shocked glances at me.

Xiao Cui! The old soldier asked rhetorically: "How many people are there in the attacking force you are talking about?" ”

"I'm going to take down the enemy. Highlands, at least a company! I replied.

"And how long are you going to let this company lurk in the valley?" The old soldier asked again.

"About a day!" I didn't think about it, so I replied, "In order to enter the lurking position without the enemy noticing, we must start the operation at night." And in order to counteract the enemy's superiority in equipment, we must start the battle when it is dark, so the incubation time must be about twenty hours, and possibly longer. ”

Listening to my words, the old soldier and Li Pinghe were silent.

After a long time, Li Pinghe held back a sentence: "Head Cui, you have considered this, people." Dangerous 'sex' lurking under the noses of the enemy. If Wan is discovered by the enemy, the loss of heart may be even more serious than attacking across the valley! I have seen cold gun troops lurking in front of the enemy's position to shoot cold guns, but they are all the backbone of one in a hundred, and the number is only a dozen. Now it's more than 100 people, more than 100 people! As long as there is a *** target, and the enemy comes with bullets and shells, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I know that!" I nodded and said, "It depends on our battlefield discipline and the quality of our soldiers!" ”

The tactics of stealth warfare that I am talking about were not invented. As always, I still have the light of historical knowledge that I have, because this is how the volunteer soldiers in history seized the living space with the enemy on the front line during this period.

"I disagree!" Li Pinghe immediately denied: "It's too dangerous to do this!" ”

"Do you have a better way to play?" The old soldier asked rhetorically.

"Uncle!" Li Pinghe replied: "Instead of this, it is better for us to use the cover of tanks and artillery to fight over in one go."

"!" The old soldier scolded: "When you fought Little Japan in Jiuhua, didn't you use artillery and tanks to destroy the enemy's fortifications?"

As soon as the old soldier said this, Li Pinghe had nothing to say.

If our artillery and tanks can destroy the enemy's fortifications, then there will be no heroic deeds such as Huang Jiguang sacrificing himself to block the gun hole in history.

"I agree with this style of play!" After a moment of silence, the old soldier gritted his teeth and said: "There is no battle without risk, and if you want to win, of course, you have to pay a certain price!" But I have two questions. One is that it is the 'spring' season, and the snow has begun to melt, which is not suitable for stealth warfare at all! ”

"We can wait!" Without thinking, I replied, "Sleeper warfare is only suitable for autumn and winter, and winter is extremely cold, so autumn is relatively more suitable." The commander-in-chief of the Combine, Clark, will not launch an attack on our army so quickly, so we still have time! "Hmm!" The old soldier nodded, and continued: "Another problem, there is a possibility that there are mines laid by the enemy in the valley area and even on the positions of our army on the front slope. So this sleeper force wants to enter the sleeper position without the enemy noticing. It's difficult. The more than 100 of them must not step on the mines, and then lurk in the valley all day, and also ensure that they have considerable combat effectiveness! ”

"This problem can be solved too!" After thinking about it, I replied: "Taking advantage of the period when the 'spring' season is approaching and autumn is approaching, the soldiers can be trained in mine clearance and lightning protection, and the necessary latent drills can also be carried out for the soldiers, so that the soldiers can understand that in the latent position, even if they die, they cannot say a word or move!" Otherwise, the goal will be *** and other comrades will be affected! ”

"Hmm". After thinking for a long time, the old soldier finally nodded and said, "I will convey this tactic to the front-line troops, this should be a feasible tactic."

After a pause, the old soldier suddenly turned his gaze to us. Asked, "Do you two know how to clear mines?"

Li Pinghe and I looked at each other for a moment, and quickly shook our heads.

Just kidding, demining! During the third battle, my head was almost blown off by a mine, and that incident has always left a 'shadow' in my heart, and now I shudder when I think of that thing, and sometimes I am a little suspicious when I walk on the road: if I step on this foot, will it be a "boom" that awaits me?"

"That's just right!" The veteran said solemnly: "In two days, the instructors of the military academy will start to talk about demining, so you two will study with the cadets together!" ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

Li Pinghe hurriedly made an excuse and said: "Uncle, one of us is the head of the regiment and the other is the political commissar, we are afraid that we will stay here for a long time."

"Yes, uncle!" I immediately stood on the same front as Li Pinghe, and said with help on the side: "There have been a lot of recruits in our regiment recently, Cui Lian!" Reorganized! There's a lot of work to do! We can't do it without us in the regiment, how can we stay here and learn to clear mines?"

"You guys are so deceitful to be my old man, aren't you?" The old soldier replied to us unceremoniously: "Those affairs in your regiment, with Liu Shunyi, the former deputy commander, still need you to 'worry'?" Besides, I said Comrade Xiao Cui, will you also train recruits? Didn't you hear that you can't even walk properly? Could it be that I misheard it behind my ear? ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to Li Pinghe, who smiled bitterly and lowered his head, and secretly made a gesture to me to apologize.

I gritted my teeth, if it weren't for the old soldier, I would have kicked him twice on the spot! This girl, even if I can't walk clearly, he reported to his uncle, and he didn't leave me any 'privacy'."

"You two!" The old soldier just didn't see our small movements, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will have a day off, and I will move to the cadet dormitory tomorrow night, and I will arrange a bunk for you."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart, and now I changed from a regiment commander to a cadet. But think about it, the old soldier's approach is also reasonable, on the front line of North Korea, which is full of mines, if we don't learn some knowledge of mine clearance and lightning protection, then we don't want to lead troops to fight in the future.
