Chapter 16: Ice and Snow Lurk

The snow fell heavily and steadily. At first, there was a light rain, but soon the rain stopped, and only the ****** of snow 'flakes' fell from the cloudy sky like goose feathers. After a while, the outside of the tunnel became a white expanse.

The long-lost winter is finally here!

Although the cold of North Korea's winter still makes me fear from time to time, and I still remember the war deaths that froze to death one by one last winter, this year, I hope that it will come sooner.

In the tunnel, the soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit and I were busy camouflaging each other. Unlike in the past, this time our camouflage was not a brown sack, but a white cloth that had been prepared for a long time.

It is not difficult to find some white cloth in this part of North Korea, because every North Korean family likes to wear white 'colored' clothes. It is precisely because of this that they are called "white 'color' people". "So, I just made a phone call to headquarters, and soon a correspondent sent us a whole bunch of good fabrics.

"Comrades, these are all donated by fellow North Koreans." I still remember what the correspondent said: "When it snowed, the North Koreans were afraid that we would freeze, so they sent us all the fabrics they kept to make new clothes for the Chinese New Year." One of them even brought us a big bundle of thin clothes! I can't bear to see that the soldiers can't bear to accept it! Comrades, you must make good use of these fabrics! Don't let down the hearts of the North Korean folks! This reminds me of the time when I was injured, the old man who risked his life to contain me and a few soldiers, and took care of my injuries, and the simple mountain village, I can't remember the name of that village now. Ever since they knew that our volunteers were here to help the People's Army fight, they always sent food, clothing, and so on to the volunteer soldiers on the front line, and even many Korean people spontaneously organized themselves to go to the front line to serve as civilian laborers for the volunteers."

I don't understand why the attitude of the North Korean people and the People's Army towards us is so different.

As I cut off a white cloth with a bayonet and wrapped it around my cloth gun, I thought that maybe it was because of politics! The KPA does not think of us as innocently as the people, and they love and fear us now.

But I don't need to think about these things for the time being, and I'm thinking about what to do tonight!

"Comrades!" Watching the fighters do their disguises, they all became "white." I patted a soldier next to me and said, "I would like to introduce you to a new comrade, this is our regiment's "mine moving king." Wang Xianru. Everyone should be familiar with him! During this time, the dynamite used to blow up stones in our two highlands is all his masterpiece! ”

"Hello comrades!" Wang Xianru stood up and saluted the soldiers, and then quipped: "Those explosive 'medicines' that blow up stones can't be said to be all my masterpieces, and they also have a share of the credit of American devils, right?" ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers all burst into laughter.

"Comrades!" After laughing for a while, I continued: "Although tonight's operation is still a lurk kill, it is a little different from the past, and it is also different from our previous practice. Let me start with a brief word about this mission."

As I spoke, I stood up, drew a pencil in a circle on the map hanging on the wall of the tunnel, and said, "Our lurking location is here, here, and here."

"Captain!" Looking at the individual settings I drew on the topographic map, Hu Zudi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Are you 'wrong'?" The places you mark are Yankee positions."

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "The place where we are going to lurk is the Yankee position."

Although the soldiers sat quietly in front of me because of the actual combat training during this time, I could still tell from their surprised eyes that there was doubt in their hearts. Even Wang Yuehan, Wang Yiming and others who were helping on the side were the same.

In the past, most of our lurking was on the top of the hill on the high ground, and the most daring was only lurking on the positive slope of the position. However, this time the individual setting of the hidden mission will go deep into the enemy's position.

"Captain!" Hu Zudi was a little overwhelmed and asked, "Didn't you teach us to quickly evacuate the battlefield after destroying the enemy?" Now if we are lurking in the enemy's position, then how can we withdraw to our position? If we want to withdraw to our position, we must first run down the valley, and then run over the positive slope of our army's position, and then we can enter a safe area! For such a long time, the U.S. military can completely wipe us out on the road! This, this, "Can the warriors come back?" ”

"Yes! Captain Cui! Yang Zhenshan also agreed: "We are not afraid of death, but I think we can't increase the senseless casualties of the soldiers like this, and we can't blindly go to the battlefield and fight for the enemy's life!" Isn't that what you taught us?

"Huang Sihu, what do you think?" The three squad leaders wanted, but only Huang Sihu was silent. I couldn't help but ask.

"Report to the Captain!" Huang Sihu stood up and said: "I don't think Captain Cui will let us go up to make senseless sacrifices like this, so I think Captain Cui must have a reason for doing this, but I don't understand what this is for!" "Kokono: I couldn't help but nod my head. Huang Siyuan, the Secret Dao Fellow, was not just calm. Si Lou is deeper than others.

"Comrades". Raising my hand to signal several squad leaders to sit down, I said heavily: "During this time, we have sacrificed a lot of comrades, Duan Weisen, Chen Qijian, Zeng Xuewu, Xu Zhixin, and Zhang Mancheng" They are all good and poisonous! Both the party and the people remember theirs! Their sacrifices are all worth it, because they not only added a lot of credit to our achievements in resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, but also provided us with a lot of experience and information. Especially Comrade Zhang Mancheng! ”

After a pause, I continued: "Comrade Zhang Mancheng's sacrifice was due to the enemy's large-caliber artillery firing 'accurately' shells at the designated position within one minute. Staff Officer Wang and I analyzed that the reason why the enemy was able to 'fire' shells at our positions so accurately in such a short period of time was because their artillery had already locked down various positions on our positive slope in blocks and blocks. So as soon as they know where we are, they can quickly 'fire' shells at that position

"But the captain!" Hu Zudi deserved to be a famous sharpshooter in the division, and he quickly put forward a different opinion: "The reason why the enemy will find out our position is because the green smoke coming out of the muzzle of our gun when we shoot is ***, isn't it just snowing now?" The snow can be used as a cover for the green smoke, and the enemy will lose its target, right? ”

"Squad Leader Hu is right!" I said, "But, in the Yankee style, what do you think they will do if someone is killed by us and they can't find a target?"

“***!?” Several squad leaders glanced at each other and replied in unison.

"That's right!" I nodded: "Once we start fighting and the American troops are killed or wounded, and they can't find their target, of course they won't just give up and retreat." The most likely thing is that they will 'indiscriminately' shoot the shells at our position, and at this time their cannons are locked on various areas of our forward slope, so"

"So if we lie down on the facet of our position, casualties are inevitable." Wang Yuehan, who had been listening from the sidelines, answered: "But if we lurk on the enemy's position, the situation will be different.

First of all, it is impossible for the enemy to fire at his position, even if he does, the enemy's forward slope is an anti-slope to their artillery, and their long-range artillery cannot hit us at all, so the enemy's position is the safest place

Speaking of this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but admire: "Commander Cui is really powerful, he can consider the situation of both the enemy and us so carefully and thoughtfully, it really makes me ashamed of myself as the chief of staff."

"Chief of Staff Wang!" Wang Yiming couldn't help but quip: "You won't look up to the sky like Zhou Yu and sigh: "Alas! Both Shengyu and He Shengliang wow.

This last sentence was sung by Wang Yiming in the Beijing dialect, which only made the soldiers laugh!

I can't help but wonder, I didn't expect this Wang Yiming to sing Peking Opera, and he also has a sense of humor, when the art troupe will perform again, he can still let him perform.

"Captain! We get it! After laughing for a while, Hu Zudi said a little embarrassedly: "We should have believed in the regiment commander's command ability and resolutely obeyed the regiment commander's arrangement, but we still made so many mistakes!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Yang Zhenshan answered: "Let's not interrupt, you continue to assign tasks!" "Hmm!" I nodded and continued: "As Chief of Staff Wang said, lurking in the enemy's position allows us to avoid the killing and wounding of the enemy's artillery, but the difficulty that Hu Zudi said still exists, that is, when we complete the task, if we want to evacuate the battlefield, we must cross the valley and then pass through the positive slope of our army to enter the safe area. To accomplish this right under the noses of the US military, it is almost impossible! Therefore, after completing the task, the soldiers must not make any moves, and they must be careful when they shoot again, and they must not lose their position and wait for darkness to stay in place! ”

"Lurking until dark?. Wang Yuehan couldn't help but exclaim: "Commander Cui, do you mean that in this icy and snowy place, lurking on the enemy's position for a day and a night?" ”

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "In the past, when we were on missions, we had to quickly evacuate the battlefield regardless of whether we hit or not. But now, whether we hit or not, we must lurk in our positions until we return to camp in the night when it is dark again. Soldiers must pay attention, because we are lurking in the enemy's position, some positions are only forty or fifty meters away from the enemy's trenches, and may even be closer. Do the comrades have the determination? ”

"Yes!" The fighters replied with their fists raised without thinking.

"Wang Xianru!"

"Here!"

I stepped forward, patted Wang Xianru on the shoulder and said: "Because we are going to enter the enemy's position and lurk, there is a high probability that there will be enemy mines on the road, and once a mine is stepped on, our operation is very likely to ***." Are you sure you're going to take us into the lurking spots? ”

"Yes". Wang Xianru 'straightened' and said: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, I will never let my comrades suffer losses, as long as I am allowed to walk in front, none of the devil's mines will be able to escape!" ”

According to the bows, Wang Xianru is a dangerous person, and he digs mines in front of the position of *** when he has nothing to do, and after digging, he brings it back and puts it all over the tunnel, and the mines are full of foreign letters, and no one can understand them. It's 'kind' scary anyway. But Wang Xianru just likes to knock and smash there, so that the soldiers in the entire pit can't sleep soundly, just thinking that maybe the sound of a bang in a dream will be gone."

This may not be indicative of Wang Xianru's level of landmines. But at least I know one thing. Landmines are commonplace for Wang Xianru. But that was also when there was no snow, and now that it has snowed, it has long covered the traces of the mines.

Thinking of this, I asked with some trepidation, "Are you sure that even if it snows?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xianru didn't want to think about it, so he 'stood up' and replied.

"Are you really that godly?" Looking at Wang Xianru's appearance in the 'chest', I felt a little incredible, I pointed to the positions where we were lurking and said, "These places are not small! Are you sure you can get all the mines in one night? ”

"Captain Cui, in fact, "It's not my god!" Wang Xianru scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Didn't you ask me to 'get' explosives and 'medicine' to blow up stones for the soldiers during this time?" This is not? I went to the enemy's position every night to get mines. I just looked at the locations you marked, and except for one place where I haven't been to, the mines in other places are all in my tunnel! ”

Coaxing, no matter how patient the soldiers were, they couldn't help but laugh at this time.

"Well, then it's up to you to bring us into battle!" I nodded at Wang Xianru: "Remember, your mission is to bring the soldiers safely into the designated location, and return immediately after completing the mission!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xianru responded.

I am thinking about Wang Xianru for the sake of Wang Xianru, the so-called "there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry" Wang Xianru has the expertise of raising landmines and has not gone through the latent training. I'm not going to be stupid enough to let someone like him lurk on the battlefield with us to shoot cold.

"Let's go!" As soon as I gave the order, the soldiers grabbed their rifles and ran out of the pit without saying a word. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tunnel was very large, and as soon as I stepped out of the tunnel, I couldn't help but shiver in the whirring cold wind. The wind swept the snow 'flowers', whistling, rolling, and covering the sky. The flying snow powder rushed back and forth, I don't know whether it rose from the ground or fell from the sky, the whole world was 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and the earth and the sky were 'mixed' into one by the snow. I barely opened my eyes and looked at the surrounding position, which was already snow-white.

So I thought, it's good that the thick clouds blocked the moonlight tonight, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to sneak into the enemy's position under their noses, even if we were all in camouflage.

The warriors were all led by Wang Xianru, sometimes lying down and prostrating, sometimes getting up and trotting towards the target.

The U.S. troops are also conscientious, perhaps for the sake of their own lives, or perhaps they also know that the volunteers always like to launch attacks at night, so they do not dare to slack off even in this cold winter night, and the lights of seven or eight searchlights are constantly sweeping back and forth over our troops' positions, and occasionally one or two flares are fired.

The situation was fine when approaching in front of the anti-slope, as there were not many searchlights that could shine here. It's not the same when entering the top of the mountain, concave? The summit of the Koukochi Highlands is not just a small bare section of the mountain, as most people think.

The summit of Blade Highland is divided into three hills, the main peak facing north and south, pointing like an arrow to the enemy's position, and the other two small hills are located at the lower left of Sukekomi, echoing the main peak. Between the three heights, there were hills and craters, and most of the entire summit was within the range of the enemy's searchlights. The snow-white light swept in like machine-gun bullets, only to press the soldiers who often lay on their stomachs in the snow for several minutes without moving.

But fortunately, Wang Xianru seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, and he took the gap between the searchlights to quickly run into various dead corners with the soldiers, and carefully moved forward step by step, and finally reached half a length. After many hours, he crossed the top of the mountain with the warriors without danger.

Once past the top of the hill, there was much less of a threat from the searchlights of the American positions, because no other American troops would focus their attention on the front slope except for the two searchlights that shone down the positive slope for a moment. Perhaps this is the lazy nature of man! After a tight blockade, the rest of the place will be relatively relaxed.

This is especially true when we cross the valley and enter the enemy position, where no searchlights shine at all, and I don't think the enemy will notice us even if we do a dance here. If the fighters could dance, of course.

At this time, Wang Xianru turned around and gestured to us, and then pointed to his footprints on the ground, and we all quickly understood that this was the enemy's minefield.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly said: Fortunately, I can't dance! If you want to know what will happen next, please log in, more chapters, support for it
