Chapter XXXVIII
When Political Commissar Zhong said this, all the soldiers in the tunnel turned their eyes to me, and they all looked at me intently and waited for me to speak.
Seeing this, I had no choice but to 'stand up' and say, "Report! I think there are several reasons why the United will shift the focus to our defensive line. First of all, the battlefield is far away from the city and the Ban 'Gate' shop, so that it will not directly affect the negotiations, and can achieve their purpose of putting pressure on us
"Not bad!" Hearing this, Zhong Chulin and Master Pang couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded slightly, and Master Pang answered: "The essence of this war launched by US imperialism is not to sabotage the negotiations, nor to hope for a breakthrough in our army's defense line, but to 'force' us back to the negotiating table and strive for the initiative of the negotiations. ”
"And," I continued: "When I was fighting with the US troops on the Eastern Front, I once heard them 'talking' on the position, and I learned that the Yankees thought that we Chinese were here to help the North Koreans fight, and they all said that the land of North Korea was not our Chinese's, so it was generally believed that our squadron would not hold on to the land like the North Korean army, so it would definitely be resisted."
There was a loud bang, and the soldiers in the pit all laughed.
"It turns out that the Yankees would have this idea" Zhong Chulin sneered and laughed: "But it's very possible, the Yankees are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" That's what they think! ”
"That's it!" The other comrades laughed even louder: "The Yankees themselves have never taken the land of South Korea seriously on the battlefield, and once they withdraw, it will be tens or hundreds of kilometers, so they take it for granted that we will do the same!" ”
"There is another one" After everyone laughed almost, I pointed to the map and said: "The battlefield on the Western Front is almost hilly, just like our current Maleonn Mountain Heights, the highest main peak is only more than 300 meters, unlike the Eastern Front, which is a highland of thousands of meters, such terrain and terrain are easier to play." and the rainy season in October will soon pass, there will be continuous sunny days, they will not have to worry about flooding and mud, which will be more conducive to the "joint ***." The unfolding of mechanized troops.

Therefore, I think that the Yankees will either admit defeat and come to the negotiating table without fighting, or they will definitely choose the defense line of our army! ”
"That's right!" Division Commander Pang nodded and said: "There are so many advantages in choosing the Eastern Front, and the Eastern Front has been strengthened by the Zhao Army, if this Yankee still wants to fight and does not choose our defensive line to attack, then their commander is stupid."
"That's right!" Zhong Chulin also nodded in agreement: "It's not easy! Comrade Xiao Cui is able to consider the situation on the battlefield in conjunction with the current political situation, geographical weather, and the enemy's strengths. Head Choi. There aren't many warriors like you who can fight and think."
I couldn't help but blush when I heard this, I didn't have the ability to think of this, a few years later, these are clearly written in the book!
"Comrades!" Division Commander Pang finally concluded: "Just like Commander Cui said, the enemy is very likely to launch a full-scale attack on our army, and given the importance of this position we defend, it is very likely to become the focus of the enemy's attack." If the higher authorities have 'handed' such an important task to our division, that is the trust of our division, and we must not disappoint the organization, the people, or Chairman Mao again! Therefore, in this battle, we must hold our ground, and we will never retreat even if we have exhausted all the people. Do the comrades have the determination? ”
"Yes!" The fighters replied loudly with their fists raised.
"After returning home, the regiment commanders should organize the reserve of the barrage, the reinforcement and deepening of the fortifications, and make preparations before the war." Political Commissar Zhong added: "Political commissars, instructors, and instructors must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers, and they must form a consensus that they will live and die together with the position. Strictly speaking, this is the first battle since the Hanshi suffered heavy losses, and we must report to the headquarters, to the motherland, and to Chairman Mao with excellent results and brilliant victories."
"Yes! swear to live and die with the position, and swear to lead the position to live and die together".
"Commander Cui, you left Political Commissar Zhong and ordered: "The other comrades will immediately return to the position and start preparations!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers retreated from the division headquarters in twos and threes, and I was the only one left looking at the division commander and political commissar suspiciously.
"Come on, come on!" When the others were almost gone, Zhong Chulin cordially beckoned me to a table and chair for me to sit down, and the guards quickly brought each of us a cup of hot tea, and the fragrance of tea soon filled every corner of the tunnel.
"Actually, it's not a big deal!" Political Commissar Zhong groaned a sip of tea, and said susceptibly: "Xiao Cui! You've played beautifully and tenaciously on the Eastern Front, and the organization is very happy with your performance this time. At the same time, "we also know that the casualties of your regiment are very large, and that only a thousand men can go to battle in one regiment, and these fighters are not well rested. But Comrade Xiao Cui, you also know the importance of this battle to our Tian Division, and in addition, your regiment is the backbone of our whole army.
Listen and listen, I know Pang "Yuezhong's political commissar's concerns, they are afraid that our net will come down from the battlefield, Ah Yin is fully rested, and then he is arranged to the most dangerous position, and the soldiers will complain, which will affect the morale of the soldiers.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, who let me get the strongest army in the whole army? The so-called capable people work harder, who else can we use without us at this important moment?
So I stood up with a bang and said, "Division commander, political commissar, you can assign tasks!" If any of our nephews dare to say "no." word, I'll kick him home and farm."
"Look at what you said!" Zhong Chulin smiled and said, "You don't have the right to kick the soldiers back to farming, even if you agree, we won't agree!" The soldiers of the Nu Regiment are all treasures
"Political commissar, you can rest assured!" I smiled and replied, "I've only been with the fighters for a short time, but I still know them well. What they are most afraid of is that they will not have the face to face their parents and fellow villagers when they go back, if I scare them so much, no one will dare to complain if I don't say anything. And there is no need to say that, the soldiers are not in a hurry to hear that there is another important task for us this time."
That last sentence is true, and although I don't think so, my soldiers are desperate to get a good job. For them, the so-called good task is that the more dangerous and important the better.
As we modern people think,
This is not? Before the meeting, several people mentioned it to me, and even Jiang 'Chun' Zeng said to me earnestly: "Captain Cui! Our regiment is the backbone of the army's 'fine' selection! Do you know what a backbone is? That is, it can hold up a piece of the sky at a critical time! If we arrange to watch others fight in the rear, then let the brothers and sisters show the flat! ”
Well, it turned out exactly as they wanted!
"Division commander, political commissar!" Thinking about it, I stood up: "It's the main peak!" I'll arrange it! ”
"What's the hurry?" Political Commissar Zhong smiled and pulled me to sit down: "I also know that you will definitely agree to this!" But Captain Cui, the position of the main peak is very important, and it must be guarded! A batch of weapons has been allocated to us above, and if nothing else, it will arrive tonight, and we will give you priority to equipping your regiment."
"That's a good feeling." As soon as I heard Political Commissar Zhong say this, I was happy, and anyone who has fought on the battlefield knows the importance of weapons. If nothing else, the battle for this batch of weapons will be worth fighting.

"In addition", there is one more thing! The political commissar of this clock couldn't help but hesitate and said, "The organization has arranged a political commissar for your regiment. ”
"Hmm!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be 'confused', arranging a political commissar is a good thing! I don't understand why Political Commissar Zhong is so mysterious.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look at Master Pang suspiciously, but Master Pang didn't answer, only said: "You know when you see people!" Then he motioned for the guards to call for someone.
After a while, when a man lifted the black cloth and walked in and stood in front of me, my heart swooped and went cold.
He is none other than Li Pinghe, who interrogated me from the Political Tribunal.
"Captain Cui, no, it should be called Captain Chen, it's been a long time!" Li Pinghe habitually pushed the glasses on his nose, and then stretched out his hand to me and said expressionlessly: "The organization arranged for me to be the political commissar of the nephew group, and I also felt very sudden. We had some misunderstandings before, but I think our goal is the same, which is to better serve the people and contribute to our country, so I hope that in the future battles, we can work together regardless of previous grievances
"Director Li!" I didn't shake his hand, and after seeing him retract his hand in embarrassment, I unceremoniously interrupted Li Pinghe's words: "I have no right or reason to oppose the organizational arrangement, but I want to advise you, battlefield!" It's not as easy to 'mix' as your political trial office, you'd better not bring that set of the political trial office to the army! ”
As he spoke, I ignored his reaction, saluted Master Pang and Political Commissar Zhong, and then turned around and walked out of the tunnel.
Walking out of the tunnel, I reached out to pick up the cigarette in my pocket, but what I took out for a long time was an empty cigarette shell, and I couldn't help but slam it to the ground and scolded: "Fuck! It's really in response to the sentence "It's not that enemies don't meet", and it's such a coincidence! ”
Autumn on the Korean Peninsula is a beautiful time, the mountains are full of maple trees, the red leaves dye the mountains on the peninsula, and when the sun sets, the whole world is red, even the highlands where we are stationed.
From an ornamental point of view, this kind of scenery should be very beautiful and moving, but I don't like it, because in my current world, there are already too many red 'colors'.
The 7 highlands are the main peaks of Maleang Mountain. This is a short and fat plateau, although the area is very large, the diameter is about a kilometer, but the height is only more than 300 meters. These two characteristics determine that its slope is very small, which makes it easy for the enemy to charge. Even I doubted that if the slope was smaller, the enemy tank would be able to drive it.
The so-called more dangerous the more out, on the steep high ground, our grenades can be smashed directly at the enemy's head, and they can be blown up with a flick... Jia Zaizaoza Gaolan one by one the enemy's machine gun mounts, almost without poisoning the horns to 'shoot'. Even the shortest of the four highlands, there is really no mountain in the distance.
Therefore, Maleang Mountain is actually not a suitable place for defense, especially this main peak, it directly faces the enemy, and as long as the enemy takes this high ground, he can use the height advantage of this high ground to directly control other high ground with firepower.
That's why this main peak will become the top priority.
"Captain Cui" was sitting on a stone facing the sunset when I was looking at the surrounding terrain when an unhurried voice came from beside me. There is no need to look back, I also know that it is Li Pinghe, the new political commissar of our regiment.
can
Seeing that I didn't answer, he quietly walked up to me and sat down, and said, "Although I know your surname is Chen, the soldiers are used to calling you Commander Cui, so let's call you that."
"That's all you want to say?" I chuckled disdainfully and responded unceremoniously: "Director Li, no, I should call you Political Commissar Li now!" Will you censor me again just because I am not called Chen Wei but Cui Wei now? ”
Li Pinghe didn't answer, just shook his head gently. After a long while, he replied in his characteristic unhurried voice: "I hope you can understand that a month ago I was the director of the Political Examination Division, and it was my duty to review you. Now my identity is the political commissar of the gill regiment, and my task is the political and ideological work of the nephew regiment, excluding censorship! ”
"If only you understood that!" I nodded and smiled: "I also hope you can understand that when you were in the Political Trial, you were dealing with your own people, here,"
I pointed to the trench under my feet and said word by word: "It's the enemy here, and they won't be polite to you!" ”
"I understand!" Li Pinghe still replied very calmly: "Do you know the chief senior infantry colonel?" I was a graduate of that and I also won the second place in the second 'shooting' competition."
"Remarkable! Was there only two people in that game? I replied with disdain on the surface, but muttered a little inwardly. Because I know that Zhang Taofang Zhang Lao, who is known as the God of Spear of the Volunteer Army, also went to this advanced step school to study, this school is not everyone can go to, it seems that this Li Pinghe is not as he seems on the surface, I can't think of the following modifiers, because in addition to him interrogated me. I don't seem to know what his shortcomings are yet.
"No, there are three hundred and fifty-two people!" Unexpectedly, this guy didn't have any sense of humor at all, so he still replied with a straight look: "These three hundred and fifty-two people are all fighters selected from the 'fine' of various infantry schools, and I only lost the championship by one ring." Like you, my father and an elder brother also died on the battlefield, and I myself participated in the three-year war of liberation and made a second-class meritorious service. I'm telling you this to let you know that I have what it takes to defend myself on the battlefield! ”
"Good!" I stood up and patted ***, and said noncommittally: "It's the mule or the horse that comes out of Luo Luo, let's see the real chapter on the battlefield!" ”
I don't know why, although I know that this Li Pinghe is my own person. And he's a political commissar at the same level as me, but I can't help but look at him as an enemy.
"Commander, Commander!" At this time, Xu Yongwei rushed up all the way and shouted at me excitedly: "Come on, the transport soldiers behind are here, more than a dozen cars!" ”
"Really? There are so many Jiang cars in a dozen or so many cars? "I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this is usually a lot of equipment for the soldiers on the front line in the rear, and a regiment can get one car, but this time more than a dozen vehicles were sent to us, and it was when the US military carried out an aerial strangulation war against us......
Without thinking much about it, he took Li Guoqiang to lead dozens of soldiers all the way down the mountain, and when the net ran to the foot of the mountain, he saw in the dim light that the cars full of branches and leaves were 'inserted' on the roof of more than a dozen cars in front of him, and they were lined up in a long line.
The soldiers cheered and surrounded without waiting for orders, and some of the soldiers were even more anxious, jumping up in a hurry before the car stopped.
With a braking sound, a cloud of dust was kicked up on the road, engulfing both the car and the soldiers, but the soldiers ignored it at all and excitedly surrounded it. Some were busy handing cigarettes and water to the driver's comrades, and some didn't say a word, so they moved the *** box in the cargo hold of the car down, and hurriedly opened it to take a look, hey! What to see really made the fighters ecstatic!
There are mines, submachine guns, mortars, even recoilless guns, and rocket artillery, which at first glance look like recoilless guns and bazookas that we captured from the American army, but on closer inspection, you realize that there is a difference in size and shape, and all of them are brand new. Look at the few small characters "Made in Zhongxian" on the above with traditional Chinese scissors, and I will understand.
From modern sources, I know that in the first battle, we captured the recoilless guns and rocket artillery of the American army, and the volunteers who had never come into contact with these things immediately sent these advanced weapons back to China to be copied. It's just that what I didn't expect was that with China's industrial level, these things could be copied in such a short period of time."
