Chapter 42 Journalists

"Staff Officer Li!" Don't be in a hurry to explain to everyone. I turned around and ordered Li Dark, who was standing next to me, "Contact the artillery unit immediately." Prepare for the shelling, target the 7 heights! ”

"What?. Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned, but quickly reacted and 'straightened' up to respond, grabbing the walkie-talkie is a call!

"Inform the soldiers of the tunnels," I continued, "all of you put on your bayonets and prepare for battle, and rush out of the tunnels to fight the enemy with the order of the charge!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent turned and ran. The tunnels dug by the volunteers are all connected to each other, and it is not difficult to inform the soldiers in other tunnels.

"Captain Cui! What do you mean to wait for the enemy to occupy our position, and then "Chiang 'Chun' saw this series of orders from me, and seemed to understand my intentions somewhat.

"That's right! I'm just going to bombard our own positions with artillery! I slammed the location of Maleang Mountain on the map and said, "The fortifications on our position have basically been blown up by the enemy, and there is no place to hide on the high ground at this time." Besides, the enemy doesn't know that we have artillery, so this time"

"So this time the Combine will suffer a big loss." When everyone heard this, they understood, and Jiang 'Chun' laughed and said: "It's also a shame that you can think of using artillery to bombard our own positions, I have been fighting for so long, and I have never seen this kind of fighting."

"It's a good idea." Li Pinghe couldn't help nodding in agreement: "Our soldiers are all hiding in the tunnels, and there will be basically no casualties, after the enemy takes our surface position." They will think that their 'treacherous' plan has succeeded and relax their vigilance, and the artillery will fire a round of artillery fire, and then we will drill out of the tunnel and rush outside, "I am afraid that there are not many enemies who can return alive from these sneak attacks."

"This is called a foot tall and a foot high!" Huang Xianhua laughed.

"Report!" Li Yan stood in front of me and said, "Our army's artillery fire has been prepared!" ”

"Excellent! Wait for my command! ”

"Yes". Li secretly answered, and waited for my order with the walkie-talkie in his hand. Ding, then the phone rang.

As soon as Li Xiangming picked up the microphone, Master Pang scolded angrily on the other end of the phone: "What kind of reputation are you doing? The enemies have all climbed into battle, and you are still hiding in the tunnels and not coming out? What about Captain Choi? Where did Captain Cui go? How did you go to war? I'll 'hand' you over the main position of Maleong Mountain, and you're good! I lost it in less than a day,"

Li Xiangming was so scolded that he didn't dare to say a word. He stared at me dumbfounded, with a look of distress on his face. But he was afraid, and I was not afraid, so I hurriedly coughed a few times and said, "You take it first, I'll listen to the situation!" ”

"What? Captain Cui, Captain Cui"

I didn't dare to pay attention to Li Mingming's shout, so I pulled Li Yan and his walkie-talkie and ran deep into the tunnel for a while, found the location of a vent, and listened carefully to the movement of the surface position.

Although there were still a few artillery shots on the position, it was getting thinner and thinner, and after a while, a series of grenades exploded, and then the British army's wild 'sex' shouts of killing sounded, "That's right, it's the British army!" This shout was not new to me, and I still remember that when I was dealing with their Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, I also withstood several times when the British troops 'stood up' with bayonets, and they still vividly remembered the way they charged at our positions one by one.

But this time, I would have preferred that they would charge harder, and that more people would rush up.

Then there was silence, or silence "Maybe the British couldn't believe that victory came so easily." But when they carefully inspected every corner of the high ground, the position finally burst into bursts of earth-shattering cheers!

“!”

There were all kinds of shouts and shouts. This can't be blamed on them, this 3 7 Heights is the main peak of Maleang Mountain, it is the highest altitude in this area, once they capture this Heights, the other Heights seem to be no problem, but what they didn't expect was that what happened next would make them realize that this battle was not as easy as they thought!

"Fire!" With my order. Li Yan shouted at the walkie-talkie for a while, and after a while, he heard a strange roar from the position, and then the explosion sounded again.

"It is finished". I couldn't help but clench my fists and ran back to the regiment headquarters excitedly, only to find that Jiang 'Chun' Zeng and others were also excitedly shouting hello. Even Li Pinghe, who was still afraid of hiding in the pit, was full of smiles.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, things in this world are so weird, the same cannonballs, the same hit on our positions, and the same shaking the earth and rocks above our heads fall down, but there will be such a big contrast. Originally, this shelling was only frightening to Li Pinghe, but now looking at the smile on his face, it seems that he hopes that this cannon can be fired more violently!

The sound of the cannon came to a halt after ten minutes. With a blazing trumpet. The soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, came out of the tunnel like tigers with bayonets and pounced on the enemy on the high ground. The battle was so fast that by the time Li Pinghe and I got out of the tunnel, we saw only bombed, shattered corpses on the battlefield, and groups of British prisoners with black faces and hands raised in surrender.

I grabbed one casually. Old cut, after a while, I knew that the troops were British? The brigade "Royal Sugmangxin trained six, and they had planned to take advantage of the fact that we were dodging the shells in the tunnel, and 'touched' us up with lightning speed to block us in the tunnel. Who would have thought that we would have artillery support, and when we were blown up and didn't wake up, we were stunned to find that the bayonets of the volunteer soldiers were already in front of us.

In just a few minutes, "Royal Scots." This trump card unit, which was recognized by all the worlds, collapsed under our offensive in this way. Of the more than 1,000 people who attacked this time, except for more than 300 who escaped beyond the range of the shells, the remaining 800 people were either blown to pieces or became prisoners of the volunteers. And the casualties of the Volunteer Army in this battle. It's almost negligible.

"Captain Cui! Divisional Telephone". Before I could get a quick look at my victory, the correspondent ran up to the position and called me back.

"Report to the Divisional Commander!" After returning to the regimental headquarters. As soon as he picked up the phone, he hurriedly reported the situation to Commander Pang: "We have taken back the position, killed, wounded, and captured" the Royal Scotsman Regiment. More than 800 people, the specific number is being counted! ”

"Hmm! Good boy! It's been a bit of a mess for us! On the other end of the phone, there was the laughter of Master Pang and Political Commissar Zhong: "What a fight; At first, we thought you had lost your position at the loss of the enemy! I didn't expect you to have this hand! Almost deceived us all! ”

"Report!" Hearing this, I hurriedly replied: "At that time, the military situation was urgent, so I was in a hurry to report to the division headquarters. So,"

"It doesn't matter! There will be some military orders abroad." Master Pang laughed and said: "I believe that you have the ability to defend Ma Liangshan, so I will 'hand' it over to you, fight hard!" I'll give you a please! ”

"Yes!" I answered.

Before I could hang up the phone, there was already jubilation in the regiment headquarters, and everyone knew what this battle meant to us. Although we will not kill or wound many more enemy troops in this battle than the Canadian brigade's attack, the important thing is that this time the opponent is the ace unit of the British army. The fact that we were able to achieve such a complete victory at such a small cost is not only a question of how many enemy casualties and how many prisoners were taken, but also to a great extent boosted the morale of our army and undermined the enemy's confidence.

Facts also proved that the defeat of the enemy's attack was a great blow to them, because from this day on, the coalition forces opposite us fired a burst of shells at our position and dropped a few incendiary bombs from several planes to "fire." There was no more charge.

I think they should be thinking about a problem. What if you are to make a charge? According to our current model, even if we don't defend a single person in the position, they can occupy it. Do they dare to take it? Whoever occupies this high ground is a bombardment, nervously rushing out of the soldiers in the tunnel,

"Captain Cui!" Just when I was still proud of the results just now, Zhang Mingxue ran in and reported to me: "A group of people in suits and ties came from the enemy's side, and they were pointing at our position from a distance, and they didn't know what it was pointing at our position. ”

"Huh?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be 'confused'. Will there be a group of people in suits and ties on this battlefield?

"Take a look?" Li Pinghe was also curious when he heard it.

I nodded, and without further ado, grabbed my rifle and walked out of the tunnel.

"What's the situation?. climbed to the top of the mountain to find Li Guoqiang's location, lay down next to him and asked casually.

"I don't know! It's amazing! Li Guoqiang pointed forward and said, "I didn't understand it after watching it for a long time, what are they holding in their hands?" Some of them still have tripods, let's say guns! There was no sound, and I didn't see anyone hitting them. They just held it up and pointed at it! ”

Li Pinghe raised the binoculars and looked forward in the direction pointed by Li Guoqiang, and couldn't help laughing

come

I also raised the telescope with a little doubt and looked in that direction, and only after a glance did I know what Li Pinghe was laughing at.

Those were United Nations reporters, and they were taking pictures at a distance of 600 meters in front of our position, accompanied by several US military officers. What Li Guoqiang said was pointing around in his hand, and some of them were carrying tripods, which turned out to be cameras.

"Journalists?" Listening to our explanation, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but be excited: "Captain Cui! Are you saying that these guys are just 'messing' in the newspapers, what are the reporters who call it "sea and air compensation", saying that we have no sincerity in negotiating and deliberately sabotage the peace talks? ”

"Huh? How do you know this? Also known "sea and air compensation.? "I can't help but feel a little weird when I hear that.

"The commissar told us!" Li Guoqiang's eyes looked at Li Pinghe.

"Oh!" I nodded, and when I heard this, I understood, this Li Pinghe is doing ideological and political work, and it is really pervasive!

"That's right! That's them! Li Pinghe answered: "Comrades, let's see clearly." U.S. imperialism has not only invaded the territory of Korea. Bombed our country's territory, and tried every means to put on a "legal" for itself. to cover up their aggressive acts. These journalists, their minions, act as thugs of US imperialism in the media, and we must see their true colors clearly and not be 'blinded' by their appearance."

"it!" Before he finished listening to Li Guoqiang, he was ruthless:

After a long time, my husband 'gets' a few 'doors' of mortars to come up, hang the tattoo gang to spread rumors and make trouble to eat."

"Don't," I hurriedly stopped, "They still say that we intend to sabotage the peace talks, right?" If you go over and kill a lot of journalists. Isn't that a pretense for others? Besides, now people are here to take pictures, and all the photos taken are of the combined forces attacking our positions, and keeping these people to take the photos back is just the evidence of the US imperialists' aggression against us, and see how they still lie! ”

"That's right!" Li Guoqiang was flattened again by what I said, but he was still a little unconvinced by 'Mao' and said: "Then let's just forget it?" Just let people take pictures like this in front of our position? ”

"How can it!" I smiled and said, "I said that reporters can't fight, but I didn't say that those officers can't fight."

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Li Pinghe, "How is it?" Compare it again, right? ”

Li Pinghe was not to be outdone, and pulled down the bolt of the gun with a bang: "What is the comparison?" ”

"Three officers in total! Accidentally injuring a reporter is considered a loss! Through the sniper scope, I looked at the group of people and whispered, "The easiest way to compare is to see who hits more, but"

"No problem, that's it!" Before I could finish speaking, Li Pinghe answered.

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but hang a smile, this Li Pinghe looks calm and sven on the surface, but he still has the impulse and stubbornness of a soldier in his bones. This is not? This competition is not fair at all, the rifle in my hand can be fired continuously, and I have a lot of advantages in the 'firing' rate, not to mention that my gun also has a scope, so if I want to fight more than anyone, Mosin Nagant in Li Pinghe's hand can almost be said to have lost, but he still gritted his teeth and responded to this competition.

O soldiers! Which one will be willing to admit defeat if it can't be compared!

But to be honest, Li Pinghe is not without advantages. There are many models of Mosin Nagant, and the one Li Pinghe chose is the Kou 43 type, which has been finalized after several improvements, and it is said that the "firing" range of this gun is 1,000 meters, the effective "firing" range is more than 800 meters, and the killing distance is even 2,000 meters.

The rifle in my hand has a maximum 'firing' range of only 700 meters, and now the mouth mark is within a distance of about 600 meters, which has almost reached the limit of my 'firing' range. At this point, Li Pinghe's Mosin Nagant in his hands still took advantage of it.

"I'll hit the left one!" I set my goal one step ahead.

I didn't want to take advantage of Li Pinghe, because the scope on my rifle could magnify more than two '' sizes, so I chose to target the most difficult of the three American officers, and most of his body was blocked by reporters who were busy taking pictures next to him.

"Hmm!" Li Ping knew my intentions very well, and there seemed to be some unhappiness in his voice, but the target that was difficult to hit had already been selected by me, and he had to reply helplessly: "I'll hit the right one!" ”

I aimed my crosshair at my target, and to be honest I wasn't very sure, at a distance of 600 meters, even in the scope I could only see a large outline, not to mention that the target I chose was still hiding among the reporters.

I took a deep breath and slowed my breathing. "But at this moment, the guy actually took out a cigarette from his pocket and 'smoked' it himself, and the smoke quickly spread around him. There was a cloud of smoke in the scope, and the target was quickly lost. Fuck it! Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse. It is said that smoking is harmful to health, but I didn't expect that smoking can save people's lives now! But it's not that easy to escape from my gun......

I turned my attention to the reporter who was blocking the target, who was pulling his horse out to take a picture, his feet lunging forward and backward, with a large gap leaking in between.

After thinking about it, I moved my crosshair down slightly and aimed between the reporter's legs. Quietly waiting, waiting......

"Bang!" With a bang, Li Pinghe's gunshots rang out, which was exactly what I wanted.

At the moment when Li Pinghe's gunfire rang out, all the reporters were stunned for a moment, and they all cast their eyes in the direction where the gunshots came. Almost at the same time, the two remaining officers fell to the ground in a repulsive manner, and my target "his head was between the reporter's legs as he lay down,"

And so my gun went off!

"Bang!" The officer's head tilted and he became a dead body, but I also noticed that the reporter's 'pants' also moved, so I wondered if I had hit the reporter's 'leg', but when I realized that he was running faster than anyone else. A hanging heart was also put down.

The last officer was not slow to react, and without saying a word, he got up from the ground and 'blended' into the group of reporters. He seemed to see that our target was the military, so he wisely chose to use the reporters as cover instead of trying to protect them.

This did cause me a lot of trouble, there were shaking heads all over the scope, and I couldn't guarantee that I would hit the target without injuring the reporter. Li Pinghe also did not shoot. I knew he couldn't find a chance either, but he didn't have as much pressure as I did, because the rifle had a short range, and he had time to wait for his chance, and I didn't."
