The sound of artillery poured in. Smoke poured from the hole and vent into the tunnel, making the already turbid air in the tunnel even more unbearable. Coupled with the darkness inside the cave and the fact that nothing could be seen, people felt an inexplicable oppression, especially the debris on the top of the tunnel, which made me feel the urge to rush out of this dark, narrow, and closed space desperately.

Only then did I realize that hiding in the tunnel was actually a test of the soldiers' psychological quality and will. It was then that I understood why so many volunteer soldiers went crazy under the sound of enemy artillery......

After waiting for a long time and not seeing the sound of the cannons stop, I took a few deep breaths and tried to find a way to relax myself. I have been in such a state of high tension for a long time, and I am afraid that before the enemy's bombardment stops, my whole person will collapse first.

I don't know how long it took, but the cannon finally stopped, and I patted the soldiers behind me and rushed out first. Not because of how heroic I was, but because I wanted to escape from this dark space that was testing my endurance at all times.

Slapping is our pre-agreed code. The shouts were useless, and most of the fighters could not hear them for the time being just after the enemy shelling. And inside the tunnel, it was pitch black, so this simple action could only be relied on to signal the soldiers to rush out.

Drilling out of the hole can not help but relax, there is a feeling of returning to the world, hiding in the tunnel is safer, but the psychological pressure is more than outside.

By this time, it was already dawning, and I led the soldiers to the top of the mountain as fast as I could, and I couldn't help but be startled. The open ground at the foot of the hill was full of straggler formations of American GIs, armed with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and under the cover of tanks, they rushed towards our positions.

"Hey! This time the Yankees are different! Seeing this scene, the old squad leader couldn't help but say in surprise.

"What's the difference?" Huzi rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at them seriously for a while, and then asked strangely, "Isn't it the same blue eyes and big nose?" I don't think it's any different, huh? ”

"Coax!" Huzi's words made the soldiers laugh out loud.

I understand what the old squad leader meant, in the past, the U.S. military always let the puppet army take the lead, but this time it's not; In the past, the U.S. military always attacked along the road, but not this time. Looking at the formation of their lines, it is clear that they want to go hand in hand and compete with us for every high ground steadily.

This arrangement of the US military is undoubtedly correct.

If they still let the puppet army take the lead as before, then it is actually very easy for us to penetrate into their rear, as long as we chase the puppet army all the way like the second battle, and even penetrate the puppet army's defense area and insert it into the rear of the American army without the puppet army noticing.

If they continue to attack along the road as before, even if they win the battle along the way, they will inevitably be alone in the depths and surrounded by our army.

And now, like them, led by the relatively strong American army, and maintaining a continuous front to advance, if the volunteer army still wants to insert into their rear to carry out encirclement, it will inevitably break through their defensive line, and if they do, it is impossible not to be discovered by them.

I'm afraid that Li Qiwei is famous again, and it is undeniable that Li Qiwei is indeed a very set of generals. As soon as he took office, he formulated several reforms aimed at the combat methods of the volunteers, and these reforms seemed to be effective, which made the volunteers a little scrambling at once.

For example, this time, no one would have expected the US army to launch a full-scale offensive so quickly, and Mr. Peng also pulled most of the troops back to the 38th parallel to rest, but this time the front-line troops were seriously insufficient, and the troops that were supposed to be resting had to be transferred back again.

The American GIs trotted all the way to the position, their deerskin boots creaking in the snow. Several tanks drove forward side by side at the front, each followed by a group of infantry, each with their guns pointed at our positions.

Maybe they thought it was after more than an hour of shelling. It was impossible for anyone to live on the hills in front of them, so as soon as the tanks stopped at the foot of the mountains, they were very relieved to rush over the tanks and rush up the hills.

If it weren't for the tunnels, I think they were right, and more than an hour of artillery preparation had already plowed the hill we were guarding several times, and buried all the dead and alive deep into the ground, and there was no trace of the fortifications to be seen. But what they didn't expect was that this time we were building the fortifications behind the mountain......

"Hit!" When the U.S. troops approached, Xu Feng gave an order, and the soldiers pulled the trigger and fired bullets at the target they had already identified, and in an instant, rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, and mortars all shot at the unprepared U.S. troops.

At this time, most of the equipment in the hands of the volunteers was American-style equipment, although the soldiers still maintained the habit of saving bullets in the past, and would not shoot in a series of guns like the US army, but it was much stronger than the previous pull-bolt type of 38 big cover, only to hit the US army before it could react and fell a large piece.

I also held a gun and slammed the trigger to hit people in the vicinity of the walkie-talkie soldiers. The commanders of the US military are well hidden, and it is completely impossible to tell which ones are officials from the outside, but they are accustomed to keeping in touch with the rear at all times, so the people who are followed by the signal soldiers with walkie-talkies on their backs, intentionally or unintentionally, are not much worse if they are not officials.

The U.S. troops were immediately stunned, they didn't expect that there would be such a strong resistance force on the top of this hill after so long of artillery preparation, and what surprised them even more was that the sound of the gunshots and the sound of the magazine popping out seemed to be the M1 rifle they were holding in their hands. Originally, they were skeptical. But when they saw the melon-shaped grenades rolling down one by one, they could no longer resist the fear in their hearts, and they turned around and ran down the hill with a scream.

"Withdraw!" Seeing the U.S. troops withdraw from the mountain, Xu Feng also gave an order to lead the troops to run towards the fortifications on the anti-slope. Several actual combat exercises made Xu Feng very clear about what to do.

In fact, the US military's will to fight was not as bad as it had been, and in the Pacific Theater there were many cases in the US military that held grenades and explosives and died with little Japan. It's just that now they are too dependent on airplanes and artillery, and they have always valued life, so they always feel that there is no need to exchange human lives for problems that can be solved with shells and bombs. Therefore, on the Korean battlefield, the US military has repeatedly appeared this kind of fighting style of retreating at the first sight of blood, and then retreating, followed by a burst of artillery bombardment.

Sure enough, after a while, there were bursts of machine guns and explosions behind him, and the Yankees' tanks and artillery began to fire again, but for us hiding in the anticline, the sound of explosions was no different from wasting bullets.

When the shell is low, it is blocked by the positive slope, and when it is high, it directly crosses the anti-slope plane and hits the foot of the mountain, and the only ones that can hit the anti-slope are howitzers and mortars, which are curved guns with relatively curved trajectory, but because they can't see the target, they can only fight blindly for a while, and the volunteers hide in the fortifications that have already been built, and there is no damage at all. And at this time, the US military did not know what was going on at all.

After a while, the gunfire stopped, and it was assumed that the American army was organizing a new offensive again.

"Hey! I said Camp Commander Cui! Zhao Yongxin poked his head out of the trench and looked at the basically undamaged fortifications, and couldn't help but give me a thumbs up: "What does your whole set really work!" The Yankees' artillery can't blow us up, and the tanks can't hit us, and it's all an impregnable wall! ”

"Needless to say!" Huzi said on the side: "I just said that what Camp Commander Cui came up with is definitely working, isn't this?" Playing the Yankees is like a little baby pretending to be a family! ”

"Huzi!" When I heard this, I couldn't help laughing and said, "Who asked me what I was doing with the fortifications here, and who said that we couldn't beat the American devils across the mountain?" ”

"No, I didn't say it anyway, I didn't say it!" Huzi blushed and refused to admit it, only making the soldiers laugh.

On the top of the mountain, the outline of the positive slope and the anti-slope can be seen called the ridge line, and the ridge line is a battleground for the anti-slope operation, because we also cannot see the enemy's attack on the anti-slope plane, and the grassroots units of the volunteer army basically have no communication equipment. If you have to say that there is, of course, small flags, carrier pigeons, and horns can barely be counted.

So we can only rely on the soldiers on the ridge line to observe, and then tell us about the enemy with the flag. For this reason, I chose a natural boulder on the ridge line to make a bunker, and asked the old squad leader to bring a squad of soldiers to garrison there, because the position they guarded was important, so I gave him two submachine guns and a light machine gun. A separate tunnel was dug for them, so that they could retreat into the tunnel to protect themselves if the situation was unfavorable.

At this time, they were waving flags at us behind bunkers, telling us that there were two companies of American troops attacking us, while enemy tanks were advancing along the road in an attempt to penetrate our rear.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile lightly, it is correct that the tanks want to go around our rear, because once they penetrate our rear, then our anticline will lose its meaning, but how can we be defenseless with such an obvious hole. If our hill is isolated, it can easily achieve this. But the problem is that the dozen or so heights of the Volunteer Army are interconnected and support each other. The comrades of the 354th Regiment had already guarded the road, and laid mines and explosives on the road, waiting for the enemy's tanks to come up.

Sure enough, there was a burst of gunfire and explosions from the side after a while, and the enemy's tanks were powerful during the day, but it was still more difficult to pass through the preset ambush area of the volunteers along the narrow road. It is said that the 354th regiment produced a demining king, who could bring back dozens of mines with a few comrades in one night, and could also toss these mines for the enemy to bury. This time, those American troops who wanted to come up along the road had a hard time, and they never thought that what was waiting for them on the road was their own mines.

At this time, the old squad leader nervously waved a banner at us, and then he picked up his weapons and prepared for battle, and the enemy was coming.

Minutes and seconds passed. After waiting for a while, they still didn't see the enemy come out, and it seems that these Yankees have also learned to be cautious, and they must be wondering how they took this hill so easily without encountering any resistance this time, so they are hesitating, hesitating, and observing.

But with all their combat experience and military training, they were told that it was important to occupy the high ground, so they eventually climbed up.

At the top of the hill slowly emerged a steel helmet wrapped in a helmet, then another, and before long more and more American troops sprung up in rows like mushrooms after a rain. They were all very careful, some of them were hunched up, some were crawling on the ground, and some were half-kneeling with their guns raised...... Although they have different postures. But the same doubts flashed in the eyes of every American GI.

Most of the bunkers of the volunteers were built on natural stones and terrain, so the American troops had not yet discovered the fortifications built on the anticline, and they were all very surprised by this sudden victory.

But the volunteers quickly solved their doubts, and of course it was bullets that answered them!

With Xu Feng's order, a gunshot rang out on the anticline plane in an instant, and those American soldiers fell down one by one before they found the location of the volunteers, and the bloody corpses rolled down towards the soldiers one by one, and after a while, the battlefield in front of them was dyed red.

Some of the U.S. troops who reacted quickly quickly set up rifles and machine guns to return fire, but at this time, the soldiers guarding the ridge line suddenly came out and raised their submachine guns and machine guns in their hands, and then threw a grenade at the U.S. soldiers. With a roar, the American troops on those hills staggered, either rolling here or there.

The sniper rifle in my hand played its role, focusing on the US troops who grabbed the grenade and wanted to drop it, and immediately created some unexpected "surprises" for the US troops.

"Rush!" Seeing that the U.S. troops were in a mess, Xu Feng gave an order, and the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the mountain.

The volunteers pursued fiercely at the bottom of the mountain, but because they were rushing up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, coupled with the snow on the slopes of the mountain and the blood that had already formed ice, the speed of the volunteers' charge was much slower, and they could only watch the US troops disappear into the mountain piece by piece.

Under the command of the old squad leader, they rushed out of the bunker and grabbed the machine guns and submachine guns in their hands and swept at the fleeing American troops.

By the time a group of us climbed the hill with great difficulty to set up our rifles, the American troops had already run to the foot of the mountain, and there were only dozens of corpses of American GIs left on the hillside. I only saw that Huzi and the others were red-eyed, and they couldn't wait to change places with the old squad leader.

Fearing enemy shelling, the fighters quickly cleared the battlefield and withdrew.

When he returned to the fortifications, Huzi was happy as soon as he counted the magazines: "I still wanted to save bullets, but I didn't expect that there were more bullets captured than bullets shot!" It's kind of a waste of worry! ”

"That's it!" Xiao Shandong also grinned on the side: "I have also surrendered a lot of bullets, and I have fought American devils a few times, and I have never been so relieved!" ”

"I said Camp Commander Cui, who taught you this?" The more Zhao Yongxin played, the more strange he became, he was a smart person, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "How can I look at this set as if it is tailor-made for us?" Although it seems that we have suffered a little loss by giving up the high place to the enemy! But the Yankees' cannons don't work at all! ”

"That's it!" Instructor Zhao pressed a magazine on the rifle in his hand and said suspiciously, "I also think it's a little strange." Just now, I was thinking in my heart, how to come up with this set of words, I want to fight the Yankees for half a year and a year, but Battalion Commander Cui, you don't fight the Yankees longer than us! ”

"This ......" Zhao Yongxin and Instructor Zhao asked me a question, I didn't know how to answer, I can't tell him that this is the experience summed up by the volunteer soldiers after their bloody sacrifice!

"Hey, our battalion commander Cui still needs someone to teach?" At this time, Huzi relieved the siege for me: "Company Commander Zhao, why don't you take a look at our troops, which ghost idea has more than Battalion Commander Cui?" I don't know how many times I've fooled those devils! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Yongxin nodded and said: "I look at the use of Camp Commander Cui's set, it won't be a problem for a year and a half!" ”

This Zhao Yongxin really has some vision, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but secretly praise that in the stalemate war in the later stage of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteer Army used this method to resist the US army with inferior equipment and could not advance half a step. When the ground position is lost, it goes into the tunnel, and at night it comes out of the tunnel to regain the position. It's just that the tunnel at that time had more functions, not only fireproof, explosion-proof, but also poison-proof, etc., but this tunnel warfare was not invulnerable.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but remind everyone: "Comrades, the enemy suffered a big loss in the two battles just now because they didn't know our arrangement, but they now know that we have built the fortifications on the anticline, although the enemy's artillery can't hit the anticline, but they still have planes!" ”

"What are you afraid of?" Huzi answered: "When the Yankees' plane comes, let's hide in the tunnel!" ”

"It's good to hide in the tunnel!" I nodded and said, "But if we all hide in the tunnel, and the enemy takes this opportunity to climb up and seal the mouth of the tunnel with a machine gun?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Battalion Commander Cui is right!" Zhao Yongxin raised the M1 rifle in his hand and said: "Let's talk about machine guns, even if there are only three or four Yankees guarding outside with rifles, we can't get out, and then we won't let them toss as they want?" ”

"So!" I concluded: "Comrades must move quickly, be ready at any time after hiding in the tunnel, and be sure to rush out of the tunnel at the first time to deploy troops, and we must not let the Yankees seal us in the tunnel!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors clenched their fists in response! ~!
