Chapter 127: Prestige
It's been another messy day.
Hiding in a tunnel where you can't do anything, you can't do anything, I think anyone will feel guilty about this kind of life. Of course, it was the volunteer soldiers who felt the bag, and I was more bored, so I thought that if there was a computer here now, "it would be better to have access to the Internet, then I would not be able to play here for a few days and nights." Even if the Yankees are all defeated and return home, I won't go out."
Part of the reason why the volunteer army is so boring is also from the US military. Because they were so uncreative in attacking the mouth of the tunnel, they did not dare to attack us too close to the mouth of the tunnel all day long, except for throwing explosives and grenades at the mouth of our tunnel.
This may be determined by the objective factor that the US military attaches importance to life! But this can't be blamed on them, North Korea is not their land, and their fighting here has nothing to do with "defending their homeland and defending the country", and they can't play with us for their lives. On the other hand, they may also know that we will start again, so they put most of their 'essence' into building a surface position, and have no time to take care of us hiding in the tunnel.
This made the war at the mouth of the tunnel very boring, and the Yankees did not dare to take the lead at all, so they hid in our 'shooting' corners and made small moves. So much so that I didn't even bother to go to the mouth of the pit to take a look.
I've also been worried that the U.S. military's non-stop fortification work for two days and one night will make it very difficult for our army tonight. But think about it, it's useless to worry, anyway, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and what kind of difficulties will be known in time.
However, the relaxed atmosphere in the tunnel soon became tense and rapid as night wore on.
Although there were still a few hours left for the battle, the soldiers began to make various preparations early. First, Li Baocheng and Wang Wenyong summoned the cadres of each platoon and the soldiers temporarily assigned to the Eighth Company, and after introducing each other, they 'handed over' the combat tasks in detail, and then asked the cadres of each platoon to convey the combat tasks and objectives to each soldier.
This is a little different from what I know, in the past, when I went to the battlefield, the most I could do was to lower the combat mission to the platoon level, and very few people went to the squad level. Therefore, when fighting a war, except for company and platoon commanders, most soldiers do not know what the war is fighting and what its purpose is. I only know that the company commander and platoon commander tell us to fight, and we will fight whatever we want. I also have a deep understanding of this, and during the period when I was a soldier, I was in this state of ignorance. However, these eight companies fought in battle, but they gave a detailed introduction to each of the combat missions and combat objectives. Warrior. According to Li Baocheng, the purpose of this is because the Eighth Company has a tradition, that is, as long as there is one soldier, it must work hard to complete the tasks 'handed over' by the superiors and achieve the predetermined combat goals. The premise for this is that every warrior knows how far the battle must be fought in order to be considered victorious!
Listening to me, I can't help but sigh in my heart, maybe this is the difference between the ace army and the ordinary army! In the Volunteer Army? to get this, "trump card." It's not easy to be a title, and it's even harder to keep it. Just like the current Eight Companies, tonight can be said to be a test for them. Once the battle is lost, then it is very likely that this "trump card" title that has been exchanged for the blood of many fighters in the past few decades will not be guaranteed.
After Li Baocheng's detailed arrangement, Wang Wenyong finally mobilized the whole army to the soldiers, and the soldiers read out the letter of determination to fight, and then asked the soldiers to prepare weapons.
"Chief of Staff! I wonder if you have anything else to add to my arrangement? Li Baocheng asked me as he reloaded his pistol magazine.
"You have arranged it in detail and comprehensively!" I nodded and said, "Just fight as you arranged!" ”
At this time, I felt that I should not interfere too much with Li Baocheng's arrangement. Because as a company commander, he is the person who knows the combat effectiveness of this unit best, and only he knows how to fight to give full play to the role of this unit. Any idea I put forward would probably be a mistake.
"Well" Chief of Staff ". Li Baocheng hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "I hope the chief of staff can attack the No. 8 position with me!" ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and looked at Li Baocheng's young and resolute face suspiciously. Usually when I want to go to the battlefield, the soldiers don't let me go, but this time, this guy took the initiative to pull me to the front line.
"That's right, Chief of Staff!" Wang Wenyong came up at the right time to explain: "We heard from the soldiers that the chief of staff is a sharpshooter, and he also killed one of the enemy's snipers a few days ago, and the company commander discussed it with me and felt that we need a sharpshooter like the chief of staff on the front line to suppress the enemy!" So,"
"Chief of Staff". Li Baocheng said: "I won't say much else, using the light of the enemy's searchlight to knock out the enemy's snipers like you did will definitely hit the morale of the US troops to a certain extent." If you can make the U.S. military feel your presence on the battlefield, the pressure on the U.S. military is incalculable, which can weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness to a great extent! ”
Hey! This Li Baocheng is not simple, I couldn't help but glance at him more when I heard this, but I saw that he didn't shy away from meeting my eyes at all.
"This can't be done!" At this time, Director Qin stepped forward and said, "The chief of staff is in love with the battlefield and fights well, but if the chief of staff attacks with you in the first echelon this time, who will command the second echelon?" ”
I've thought about it! Xiao Li Kongcheng replied! "It was commanded by Gao Yongxiang and Zeng'er."
I cleared my throat and didn't say yes or no.
In fact, the task that Li Baocheng said was very much to my liking, and I was not willing to fight behind them as the second echelon. But when Li Baocheng said this, I always felt a little unhappy in my heart. I'm the supreme commander of these two heights, isn't it? Now it's going to be commanded by a company commander to go to the battlefield!
This Li Baocheng is arrogant, he can fight on the battlefield, and he is also the trump card of Feng Shi. It is said that since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japan, they have had a privilege, that is, they can not hand in the equipment they have captured. As a result, at that time, when the equipment of the whole army was very backward and even some people were using shotguns and shuttles, they could all be equipped with Japanese-style 38 covers and 9 "strong" crooked machine guns. This can be said to be second to none in the entire Eighth Route Army.
So now, it's common sense that they don't pay much attention to other troops. Man! More or less will have this mentality, but some people are more low-key, some people are arrogant; Some people hide deeper, and some people don't want to hide at all.
Now he said that he would not do anything to me, the little chief of staff, but if he could "use" it, he would still "use" it. That's right!
"Staff Officer," Li Baocheng asked again.
"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "You have this idea, I don't have a problem with fighting on the front line, but I want to know why you want me to attack the eighth position with you?" ”
"Position No. 8 is close to the main peak of Sukou Heights!" Li Baocheng replied, "Once we capture the No. 3 position on the main peak, the chief of staff can condescendingly control the surrounding No. 4, No. 10, and No. 9 positions with firepower on the main peak, which is very helpful for us to attack the enemy's position!" ”
"But have you ever thought that Position 8 is steep. It's not suitable for cold guns at all on this kind of terrain? . I asked rhetorically, "So on this kind of terrain, it is not practical to achieve the purpose of putting pressure on the US military that you want." Moreover, have you ever thought that arranging two machine gunners on the main peak may be more useful than one sharpshooter?
Hearing this, Li Baocheng's face couldn't help but turn red, his shortcomings were that he didn't have the ability to fight snipers, and he still used the set of charging to assign snipers, which made him blush.
So I continued: "I think I should attack Position Zero with the second platoon, which is relatively flat and has a large scattered area. What's more, it's the No. 6 tunnel we lost last night! ”
"Tunnel Six?" Hearing this, Li Baocheng and the others couldn't help but cast suspicious 'confused' glances at me.
"Chief of Staff!" Instructor Qin asked suspiciously, "You mean, 'Is it possible that the enemy will send people to station in the No. 6 tunnel?' Do they have that guts? ”
I understand Instructor Qin's words that if you have the courage to hide in the tunnel and let the enemy surround you outside, maybe only our volunteers can do it, and the US army has a large amount of modern equipment, coupled with the lack of firm will to fight, so the possibility of stationing in the No. 6 tunnel to confront our army is extremely 'sexual'
However, "
"I'm not saying they're going to be stationed in the tunnels!" I glanced at Li Baocheng and the others and said, "I also know that they don't want to do this, but when I prepare with all my might." Some U.S. troops who don't come to escape in a hurry and have no fortifications to hide will think of Tunnel No. 6! Just as the U.S. military has no way to deal with us, we also have no good way to do anything about the U.S. troops hiding in the tunnel, and we can't eliminate them in a short time, and they are very likely to become a nail 'inserted' in the back of our army, and they may rush out of the pit at any time and stab them in the back."
Listening to my words, the surrounding warriors all started talking. Of course, no one doubts the correctness of my words, and everyone knows that what I say is very likely to happen. It all makes sense, they just didn't think of it.
Oh, yes! Who would have thought that the US military might hide in the tunnels of our army in order to avoid shells and become a surprise force that threatens the entire *** plan of our army? Even a commander like Li Baocheng who didn't miss anything could not have thought of it, but I thought of it. Looking at Li Baocheng with his head bowed with embarrassment, and then looking at the soldiers around him who couldn't stop nodding, I knew that I had successfully established my prestige in front of this ace unit known as the Heroic Eighth Company.
Prestige is such a thing that can only be understood but not spoken.
Just as an easily tamed horse is generally not very good, the ordinary troops of the Volunteer Army do not need to establish any prestige at all, they only need to know that I am their superior, as long as they know that I am the commander, and then they will resolutely obey my orders. But this heroic Eighth Company is like a fierce horse that is difficult to tame, I knew this from the moment they just walked into this pit last night.
After the other companies were stationed, most of them would report to me in real time, and I would make decisions on major matters. But this company is different, they are clearly a height, "self-made." For example, all the preparations made tonight were assigned by themselves, and in the end they even asked to "send" me to the battlefield.
Last night, Instructor Qin secretly said something to me, he said that many of the company commanders of Feng Division are very arrogant masters, and they are more crazy than the other when they fight, but when they mention it, they are all convinced, and the difference between Donglian and their company is: "You can only fight if you have a good company commander." Even if you don't have a good company commander, you can fight, and if you have a 'traitor', you can even fight.
I now understand what Instructor Qin is trying to remind me. But I think that may soon change.
"Just do what the chief of staff says!" Li Baocheng quickly recovered from the embarrassment, looked at me and nodded, and said: "Then the chief of staff is responsible for the command of my sister, and the 2nd platoon commander Wang Liancai assists, and is responsible for the attack in the direction of the enemy's position zero!" ”
My sister stood up and saluted me, and I couldn't help but smile and nodded, understanding that this was actually a way for Li Baocheng to identify with me. It's really funny to say, I still need the approval of a company commander as a regimental staff officer, but for some reason, I am very useful in my heart!
Time passed minute by minute! In the dim light of the butterfly oil lamp, I held my pocket watch in my hand and stared unblinkingly at the beating seconds hand on the dial.
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven",
My heart was beating faster, and my palms were sweating unconsciously.
Then, when the hands finally reached nine o'clock, a string of cannonballs exploded above our heads with a whistling sound in the sky.
For some reason, I was particularly nervous about the preparation for this artillery fire. Perhaps it was because I knew that whether our troops would be able to restore their surface positions this time was largely dependent on the destruction of enemy fortifications by artillery units. Or maybe it is because we know that this time our army used the famous "Katyusha" rocket artillery.
I know from Li Baocheng that this time, our army has concentrated a total of 46 'gates' of mountain, field, and howitzer artillery from 19 artillery companies and 24 'gates' and 16-barreled "Katyusha" rocket artillery from Zhi Sicai.
Because of its fierce firepower and high mobility, this "Katyusha" rocket launcher deservedly became the darling of the Korean battlefield.
Because it will produce a large amount of gunpowder and smoke when it is fired, it is very easy to fire a "shot" position, so before using it, the volunteers are all selected in advance to launch the "fire" position and artillery target, calculate the "shot" hit Zhuyuan, and then the vigilant troops escort the road, go straight to the "shooting" position, open fire immediately after unfolding, and quickly evacuate as soon as the "shooting" is completed. Generally, they only stay on the position for forty or fifty minutes, and the US military simply does not have time to organize a retaliatory 'sexual' counterattack.
According to modern statistics, during the entire Shangganling Campaign, the "Katyusha" rocket artillery organized a total of seven battalion-level firepower preparations, but was not injured. It can be said that it is a very successful weapon on the Korean battlefield.
This time, it's time for it to do its job again!
Listen to the distinctive whistling sounds coming from outside the tunnel and the dense explosions overhead. I can't help but sigh that this thing really lives up to its name. This is not? The tremors overhead were almost ready for the U.S. military's firepower.
It's funny to say, we are hiding in the tunnel. Although I was also shaken by the sound of the cannonball, the feeling in my heart was completely different. Yankee *** time. I scolded my mother in my heart! This time, I hope it can play for a while.
But after a while, the sound of rocket artillery gradually stopped, and all that was left was the explosion of shells and shells. This made me understand that the firepower of "Katyusha" is fierce and the coverage is large, but it cannot last. For the sake of safety, it seems that it has finished firing the sixteen rocket noses in the car and hurried home.
Although the ensuing artillery fire was quite violent, it was much worse than the indiscriminate bombardment just now.
Finally, an hour later, two red 'colored' flares finally rose in the sky! As soon as I gave the order, the warriors rushed out with a loud roar.
Every time Shangganling is bombarded, when we walk the tunnel, we will have a feeling of being in a different world. This time was no exception, and the whole world seemed to have been reshuffled and scorched everywhere.
In the darkness of the night, the billowing smoke and flying dust almost made us unable to see anything. Even the fire from the explosion of the shells dozens of meters away was like a little electric light behind layers of dark clouds.
I could only rely on my own memory to recall the direction of Position Zero, and then waved my hand behind me, and led the soldiers to the top of the mountain.
Thankfully, I didn't go in the wrong direction, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I climbed to the top of the hill and recognized that it was the forward four positions of Position Zero.
There are no enemy machine-gun forts here, and there are no enemy pillboxes, and even if there were, I think they were bombarded by our artillery fire and there was nothing left. Because now there is nothing but a scorched earth.
"Miao Huaizhi!" I waved my hand back, and Miao Huaizhi quickly ran to me and lay down.
"Take your people and go and block the No. 6 tunnel!" I ordered, "Don't let the enemies in the tunnel rush out!" ”
"Yes!" Miao Huaizhi responded, and with a dozen of his soldiers, he sneaked towards the No. 6 tunnel.
"The rest! Follow me! With that, I took my sister cat and rushed towards Position Zero.
At this time, I only thought about one thing in my heart, hoping that the enemy's pillboxes could not withstand the bombardment of our army's artillery fire, so that we could easily restore the surface position as easily as recovering the fourth position", if you want to know what is going on, please land on the muscle, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
