Chapter 138: First Aid Kit
"Get ready!" I gave orders to the phone and to the fighters next to me.
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and immediately two men stood by in front of the mouth of the tunnel with shovels, and two other fighters pointed their submachine guns outside.
"Lights out!" I ordered.
"Lights out!" Li Baocheng and Gao Yongxiang's orders were also heard on the phone.
If we still light kerosene lamps, once we have dug through the mouth of the tunnel, the light that shines through the mouth of the tunnel will soon arouse the alarm of the puppet army, which is obviously not good for us.
With the sound of "......", with my order, soon a soldier blew out the kerosene lamp, and the tunnel was immediately pitch black, and he could not see his fingers.
After a pause, seeing that the fighters were ready, I immediately ordered: "Action!" ”
The movements of the warriors were not visible in the darkness, only a few slight shoveling sounds were heard, and the occasional 'clashes' of gold and iron were heard. I know that it was the soldiers' shovels that hit the shrapnel doped in the dirt.
I was a little worried that these sounds would alarm the puppet troops stationed outside, but I soon found that my worries were unnecessary, because by this time two rays of light had 'shot' in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel, and the soldiers had already dug two 'holes' in the mouth of the tunnel.
The sky outside had already been 'clouded' and 'clouded', and as soon as the soldiers dug through the tunnel, they could clearly see the scene outside, on a piece of charred black and soft soil, there were seven or eight puppet soldiers huddled in the machine-gun fort shivering. It was the end of October, and although it had not snowed yet, it was already very cold at night outside the tunnel.
Good fellow, I couldn't help but curse secretly when I saw this, these puppet soldiers actually built a machine gun fort directly in front of our tunnel mouth. However, there is a reason for this, as it may seem dangerous to build a machine gun fort in front of the mouth of the tunnel, but it will be the first time to find out if we have dug through the mouth of the tunnel. And if the puppet army detects any movement, it will be almost impossible for us to operate under the fire control of this machine gun fort. Even if we succeed in digging through, the machine guns in the enemy's machine gun fort can effectively suppress the fire in our tunnel, so as to achieve the goal of blowing up the tunnel mouth again.
Although we hid in the tunnel and were in the dark, the puppet army only needed to shoot machine guns, recoilless guns, etc. into the tunnel.
Unfortunately, they never imagined that we would be digging all three of the tunnels at the same time. In this way, these puppet soldiers in the machine gun fort are completely surrounded by our three tunnel mouths......
The 'shot' hole was not large enough, so the fighters continued to dig, but they became more and more careful not to alarm the enemies in the machine gun forts. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "clang" from the opposite side, and it was thought that a soldier had accidentally dug up a large piece of shrapnel.
This strange sound immediately alarmed the puppet soldiers in the machine gun fort, and they raised their rifles in their hands and pointed in the direction from which the sound came. But in doing so, their backs were unsuspectingly lit up in front of us.
Without my orders, the warriors now knew what to do. The two soldiers in charge of digging the mouth of the tunnel could no longer care about the position of the storm at this time, and used all their strength to dig twice with their shovels at the mouth of the tunnel, and then quickly kao to the side.
Almost at the same time as the two fighters were beside Kao, the two fighters holding submachine guns rushed forward with a tacit understanding, poked the submachine guns out of the two small 'holes' that had just been dug out, and "......clicked" at the enemies in the machine gun fort What was a burst of strafing 'shooting'?
The screams rang out in an instant, and I saw no enemy falling, only the light of the soldier's submachine gun and the bright red outside the two small 'holes'. But I think that in this case, the puppet army stationed outside the mouth of the tunnel will not have any hope of survival.
The gunfire soon stopped, and the fighters with submachine guns stepped aside. The two fighters, with shovels in hand, rushed forward again. This time, they were no longer as careful as before, but opened and closed the two small holes with the sapper shovels, and then pushed the shoveled soil directly out of the tunnel.
The mouth of the pit appeared in front of us again, and the air with the smell of gunpowder and blood poured straight in, and I couldn't help but feel 'spirited'...... Although the air outside the tunnel is also 'muddy', compared to the inside of the tunnel, I don't know how many times better.
After taking a few deep breaths of "fresh air", I noticed the corpses of the puppet soldiers lying outside the tunnel. In modern times, it's no wonder that seeing such a few bloody corpses doesn't scare me to death. But now that I've seen so much on the battlefield, these corpses can't even attract my attention, so much so that the air is more 'aggressive' to my thorns than them......
The soldiers didn't speak, and seven or eight people rushed out of the mouth of the pit and hurriedly picked up the weapons beside the puppet soldiers...... There is a machine gun, a recoilless gun, and even a flamethrower...... Some of them picked up weapons and some moved them, and when they grabbed them, they moved them to the tunnel as fast as they could, and after a while, they transported a lot of them to the tunnel.
And all this, from the time the soldiers dug the tunnel to kill the puppet army, until the soldiers transported all the weapons of the puppet army into the tunnel, it only took more than five minutes before and after, and the other puppet troops did not even react at this time!
This is the combat efficiency of the volunteer soldiers, there are many things, there is no need to give orders, there is no need to say between them, each of them knows what to do next, what to do, each of them seems to be a part of the whole.
I didn't think I'd run out to pick up the enemy's equipment like the fighters, because I believed the fighters would do a good job. And as a chief of staff, I'm really not suitable to take risks to do this kind of thing.
It wasn't until I saw a first-aid kit marked with the word "ten" in the dim light outside the tunnel. The warriors' attention was apparently focused on the weapons in the hands of the puppet army, and they didn't notice it at all.
At this time, I couldn't help but think of the soldiers who had been in the pit last night because there was no 'medicine' and had to let their wounds rot. was about to rush out, but at this moment, there was a call and footsteps of the puppet army reinforcements overhead.
What to do? To go out or not to go out?
I've missed the best time to get out, and if I do, I might not be able to get anything, but I'll lose my life!
Reason told me that I couldn't go out, but when I thought of so many comrades-in-arms in the pit gritting their teeth and enduring the torture of illness, I couldn't help but grit my teeth and rushed out with a rifle!
"Chief of Staff!"
"Chief of Staff ......"
……
The warriors didn't expect me to come like this, and when I ran out, I realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop me.
"Bang!"
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of gunfire and shouting soon rang out, and when the puppet army reinforcements arrived, they found that all their comrades had fallen in a pool of blood, and then saw that I had run out without knowing whether I was alive or dead, and where would they easily let me go, and immediately raised all kinds of weapons and fired bullets at me.
But unfortunately, most of them didn't have a good grasp of the amount of advance, and I ran out of the way out of the air, and they were also 'indiscriminately' in a hurry, so the bullets always fell behind me.
The mouth of the pit was not far from the enemy's machine-gun fort, but it was only a matter of seconds before the first aid kit arrived. The bullets were in hot pursuit right behind me, and I didn't dare to stop for a moment, grabbed the first aid kit, rolled over, and hid in the machine gun fort. Bullets flew over my head ...... some of them hit the sandbags with a fluttering sound.
After fighting for a while, the puppet soldiers realized that they couldn't hit me hiding in the machine gun fort from their angle, so they stopped shooting and slowly approached me.
At this time, my head was racing and thinking: if I turn around and run back to the tunnel, I will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of bullets behind me, and those puppet soldiers are also ready for me to run back, so I will inevitably end up with several bullets in my body and die.
So I gritted my teeth, 'drawn' a grenade, lit it, threw it at my feet, watched the grenade smoke for a while, and took advantage of the fact that the puppet army was not shooting, and jumped towards the opposite tunnel.
I jumped beyond the expectations of the puppet army, in their subconscious, they always thought that I would naturally go back to where I came from, where would they think that I would run in the other direction, and unexpectedly, the bullet hit crooked again.
But my danger wasn't over yet, and my goal was all too obvious, and that was the mouth of the pit directly opposite. As long as the enemy has a little combat experience, it is easy to grasp this point, they don't need to chase me with guns, they only need to use fire to control the mouth of the tunnel, so no matter how I run, I will eventually be sent to their guns......
At this time, the grenade I threw in the machine gun fort rang off, and I only heard a "boom", and the smoke, rubble, and dirt, along with the corpses and blood of the puppet army, flew up together, coupled with the bullets of the puppet army, the surroundings were 'chaotic' in an instant, and even the mouth of the pit in front of me became blurred. But I believe that I can still rush in with the imprint, although I am road blind, but not so blind that I just see it and forget it.
Yes, that grenade was deliberately dropped in the machine gun fort to 'confuse' and 'confuse' the enemy's sight. I'm not worried about being injured by shrapnel from a grenade. The grenade exploded in the machine gun fort, and the grenade was a radial 'fire' of shrapnel, and the lower half was mostly blocked by sandbags around the machine gun fort. I was able to dodge shrapnel with just a slight bite of the cat's waist.
Of course, if it happens that some shrapnel will pass through the gap between the sandbags and then hit me with perfect accuracy, then I will die without words!
As I ran forward, something kept 'shooting' at my back and head, and I couldn't tell if it was gravel, dirt, or something else.
I hope it's not bullets or shrapnel...... I didn't think about it in a hurry, I just used my strength to eat 'milk', and ran desperately in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel. Because I knew that once the shock and smoke from the grenade explosion faded, I might never go back alive.
Finally, as soon as it was dark, I went into the tunnel. Drilling into the dark tunnel from the relatively bright outside made me lose my sight for a while, and my figure that kept rushing forward couldn't help but stagnate. At this moment, several pairs of strong hands stretched out in the darkness, and without saying a word, they pulled me into the depths of the tunnel.
"It's safe!" It was only then that I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chief of Staff! What the hell are you doing! Li Baocheng's voice sounded beside me: "As a regimental chief of staff, you are the commander of the two heights of 597.9 and 537.7!" I don't usually talk about you when you lead a team to fight, but how can you ...... now?"
After a long time in the tunnel, I got used to the light inside, and I didn't pay attention to Li Baocheng's blame, stuffed the first-aid kit in my hand into Li Baocheng's hand, and ordered: "Send this to the wounded immediately!" ”
Li Baocheng took the first-aid kit and looked at it, and soon understood. He stared at the first-aid kit for a moment, then nodded heavily, saluted respectfully in front of me, and replied, "Yes!" ”
As he spoke, he ran into the pit with the first-aid kit in his arms.
"Chief of Staff! Are you alright......" At this time, I saw Gao Yongxiang hurriedly come out of the passage, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that I was safe and sound. Then he laughed again: "At first, I didn't know it was you, and I said that it was a soldier who was so clever!" In such a short period of time, you can think of such a good way to dodge the enemy's bullets, and you want to send someone to call this warrior over! Later, after listening to the report of the telephone soldier, I realized that it was you, the chief of staff......"
"What? Can't the chief of staff go to war on the battlefield? I replied angrily, "If I don't have two hands, can I be your chief of staff?" ”
"That's that!" Gao Yongxiang said with a smile: "But the two hands of the chief of staff seem to be too hard, if any of us have one hand and one 'leg' to come back, it would be good." The chief of staff was stunned, and there was no shortage of parts......"
"Not necessarily!" I looked Gao Yongxiang up and down, and quipped: "I think you are the platoon leader Gao...... It works too! So be it! If you don't believe me, just go out like this, I bet you'll be fine! ”
"Don't don't ......" Gao Yongxiang hurriedly said: "I admit defeat, can't I admit defeat?" ”
With a coax, the soldiers beside him all burst into laughter.
"Chief of Staff, 'smoke' a cigarette!" One of the fighters handed me a cigarette and said, "Suppress the shock, you can rest here for a while, and then it's up to us!" ”
I took the cigarette and stared at him in the dim light for a few moments before I recognized it as Wang Changsheng, a mortar gunner I had just met. It was only later that I realized that he was holding a mortar in his hand. I was so annoyed that I almost wondered if my head had been blown up in the run.
Just when I was in a daze, Wang Changsheng was already running to the mouth of the pit with his assistant with a mortar. Then casually put the mortar at the mouth of the tunnel, and the assistant had a tacit understanding to put the mortar shell that had been caught in his hand into the mortar......
"Teng!" Soon after that, an explosion came from outside the tunnel, and several puppet soldiers fell from it screaming.
Then there were two more "Teng", and two more explosions in places I didn't see, and this time no one fell from above, but it was like a rain of blood in the sky, and occasionally there was a hand, a foot, or a few fingers.
After firing three shells, Wang Changsheng didn't appreciate his work, picked up the mortar and ran back, and said with a smile in front of me: "Chief of Staff, I hit those guys who shot at you just now, and this can be regarded as revenge for you!" ”
"Hey! O Wang! Gao Yongxiang, who was next to him, was unhappy when he heard this: "I said that this chief of staff is standing in front of us in a good manner, isn't it?" What kind of revenge are you doing? ”
"This ......" Wang Changsheng couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but after a little hesitation, he replied: "Then, that's to vent for the chief of staff!" ”
"It's not appropriate to be angry, right?" Gao Yongxiang said with a smile: "Our chief of staff walked around under the nose of the enemy, and came back without a single 'hair' injury, it should be the enemy who jumped his feet in anger!" ”
"That ......" Listening to Gao Yongxiang's words, Wang Changsheng had nothing to say again. But Jiang is still old and spicy, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Then I am here to avenge our sacrificed comrades and vent my anger for the North Korean fellows who were ***!" ”
"Good!"
"Well said!"
There was an immediate cheer around, and Gao Yongxiang also raised his fist and said, "Comrades, let's learn from Comrade Wang Changsheng." Let's fight in order to avenge the sacrificed comrades and vent our anger for the Korean fellow who was ***! Resolutely drive the US imperialist aggressors out of the territory of the DPRK! ”
"Avenge the sacrifices of our comrades!"
"Vent your anger for the North Korean fellow who was ***!"
"Down with the invaders!"
………
Suddenly, the slogans in the tunnel rang out. At this time, I realized that sometimes it was not necessary for us leaders and cadres to 'provoke' the fighters to fight, but only an ordinary soldier who inadvertently said one or two sentences in this regard, which would soon resonate with other fighters.
This kind of resonance, in the eyes of a modern person like me, or in the eyes of most modern people, would be considered silly and ridiculous. Even the puppet army just outside our tunnel will feel incredible when they listen to our slogans. The US military's explanation for this phenomenon is that it is a kind of hypnotization and brainwashing of the red 'color' elements, but it can really 'stimulate' the combat effectiveness and combat of the soldiers.
I didn't understand it before, but after living and fighting with the fighters for so long, I gradually understood the reason why the soldiers behaved the way they did, that is, their purity, selflessness, trust and unity. And these are exactly what we modern people lack.
