Chapter 59 585.2 Heights

Chapter 59 585.2 Heights

After passing through the village of "Duli" without danger, the subsequent march was not all smooth sailing.

The combat troops were better, after all, the soldiers had been trained in this area in normal times, and they carried less ammunition and ammunition, so a few hours of marching was nothing to them. But the engineering troops were a little bit bad, because when they were in charge of transporting ammunition and ammunition after us, there were mule carts, cars, wheelbarrows, and other tools, but once we walked up the mountain, all these tools could not be used, so we had to rely on manpower.

The soldiers of the engineer company also knew what it meant to us to play the 'medicine' at this time, so everyone tried to bring as much ammunition as possible. They gave full play to the creativity of the working people, went to the mountains and cut a piece of tough branches or bamboo, tied them firmly with wild vines on the ammunition box, strung them at both ends of the branches, and then lifted them on their shoulders...... Anyone can carry two boxes of ammunition 'medicine'.

However, although this method was good, it brought a lot of trouble to the march of the comrades of the engineer company. It is said that these bullet 'medicine' boxes, the lightest ones are 24 kilograms, and the heavier ones can reach 36 kilograms, which is 100 kilograms for each person with two boxes on his back. If such a weight is carried firmly on the back, it is good to say, all the equipment on our combat troops combined also has this weight, but the difference is that they are carried on the shoulders and need a balance. When they went up a steep slope, they had to put down their picks, form two groups on the steep slope, and hand the boxes of ammunition and 'medicine' below one by one.

This is not bad, if it is walking on a path with a cliff next to it, it is even more of a test for the soldiers of the engineer company. As long as the feet slip and the pick on the shoulders shakes 'swing', this life will be 'handed over' to Lord Yama. I saw with my own eyes a soldier of the engineer company carrying two boxes of ammunition and "medicine", and as soon as his feet slipped without paying attention, he fell into the bottomless abyss with the ammunition and "medicine". What makes it even more heart-wrenching is that the fighter didn't even let out a last scream when he fell......

He was worried that the screams would 'reveal' our whereabouts, what a good soldier, from this point of view, I think Master Pang's idea is wrong, who said that they are just carpenters and porters without military training? They are no worse than the volunteer soldiers

However, it was precisely for these reasons that the speed of the march of the engineer unit was much slower than that of the combat unit, which forced me to leave one battalion of fighters to protect the engineer company, and to accelerate with the other two battalions towards the 585.2 heights in the enemy's rear.

This is a very simple truth, especially in our kind of penetrating and 'interspersed' combat, the faster and more sudden, the better the effect.

Most of the soldiers of the 538 Regiment are veterans selected by the 'fine' of various units, and many of the soldiers of the Volunteer Army are children who grew up in the mountains. So at one o'clock in the morning, the two battalions I led smoothly walked out of this deep mountain and old forest. The march took half an hour less than Lee Yong-eun had guessed.

The road down is getting wider and wider, and the soldiers are becoming more and more cautious, and the guns in their hands are getting more and more stable, because everyone knows that we have now entered the hinterland of the puppet army, and we may collide with the puppet army at any time and 'exchange' fire.

It's just that I don't want the puppet army to find out about our whereabouts so quickly. The reason is simple, 585.2 Heights is the most difficult target to attack, and it is also the most important target, and I don't want the defenders of 585.2 Heights to be prepared because they heard the gunshots.

Walking in front is still the cold gun troops, with night vision devices, they can easily spot the enemy's open and dark posts, or the mines, traps, etc. laid by the enemy, the difference is that they are replaced by Wang Xinhe's troops. It is of course very tiring to be on high alert at all times when you are on the task of being a top soldier, and every nerve must be tightened. And once you are too tired, your reaction speed and sensing ability will be weakened, so as soon as I walked out of the forest, I replaced Liu Yangxing and his team.

Under the guidance of the top soldiers, the group walked all the way towards the 585.2 heights. At this time, the team suddenly stopped, and Wang Xinhe's report was faintly heard on the walkie-talkie: "There is a situation to stop advancing"

After directing the soldiers to hide and prepare for battle, I carefully walked along the mountain road with my rifle in hand. After turning two corners, the swirling rays of several searchlights loomed in the dark rain. When the pale light passes through the sky, it always shines a line of rain like silk.

"What's the situation" In the dark, I found the lurking area of the Cold Gun Unit, and casually found a place to lie down and ask the soldiers beside me.

"It's time for the highway," a delicate 'female' voice couldn't help but stunned me. Turning his head to look at it, who else is Lin Xue? Another soldier in front of me turned his head to me and chuckled softly, the laughter was so small that it was barely audible in the rain, but I recognized her as Jin Qiulian.

It's really not that enemies don't meet, I casually lie down in this crowd, and I can lie between these two girls.

"What about Squad Leader Wang and Battalion Commander Li?" I asked casually.

I know it's not good, but it always feels a little weird to be around these two girls at the same time. Being a sniper does require good mental quality, but I'm not good enough to be in two 'female' people who can be said to be lovers at the same time and pretend to be nothing.

"In front," Lin Xue gestured towards a bush in the upper left.

"Hmm" I answered, and without saying much, I pulled out my 'legs' and walked towards the location where Wang Xinhe and Li Yongen were lurking.

"Regiment Leader" Wang Xinhe and Li Yongen were discussing something, and when they saw me, they beckoned.

"What's the situation?" I asked, leaning down next to him.

"It's time to get to the highway, I'm just going to go back and report to you," he said, pointing to the searchlight-lit highway ahead and said, "Look, that's the enemy's checkpoint."

"Isn't it just a sentry post?" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning: "How many people can there be at a checkpoint?" Wouldn't it be enough to sneak them out and 'mess around' them? ”

"Regiment Leader" Wang Xinhe explained: "It is easy to kill them, but there is a lot of traffic on this highway, and there are several cars passing by in an average of ten minutes."

As we spoke, with a few glare headlights and the roar of motors, three military vehicles drove in front of us.

"Hmm" Listening to Wang Xinhe's words, I understood that such a large traffic volume meant that it was impossible for our team of 2,000 people to walk on the highway without being discovered by the enemy.

"Is there another way?" I turned to Lee Yong-eun and asked.

"Yes" Li Yongen nodded affirmatively and said, "It's not far, it takes twenty minutes to cross the road, but it's the same, go for reinforcements"

Lee Yong-eun is a smart person, but people who understand Lee Yong-eun's Chinese must be smarter, so I think I am smarter than Lee Yong-eun

What he means is that even if we go to another road, the result will be the same, because at this time on the front line of the Jinchengchuan Bridge, the 539th Regiment is fighting with the puppet army, and these military vehicles coming and going must be transporting ammunition or reinforcements, since this road is like this, then the other road must be no exception.

"Commander, let's just come hard" Wang Xinhe suggested: "Anyway, this is not far from the 585.2 highland, as long as we move quickly, we can also catch him off guard."

I frowned, although what Wang Xinhe said was reasonable and there seemed to be no other way, I still didn't want to do it. Thinking about the soldiers all wearing raincoats, he immediately ordered: "Order all troops to march in formation, and if there is a puppet army, the KPA will answer the question, and say that they are transferred to the 585.2 high ground to protect the ferry and road."

"What?" Listening to my order, Li Yongen and Wang Xinhe couldn't help but be stunned, but soon realized what I wanted to do. I couldn't help but be intimidated by my bold plan.

"What are you doing in a daze?" I lowered my voice and ordered: "Let the soldiers be ready for battle, and if they are discovered, they will start fighting, and let the KPA guide act like a puppet army officer"

"Yes," the man answered, and both of them retreated and ran to the rear to deliver my orders.

In a short time, the soldiers marched onto the highway in a neat formation, and after I shouted the command in Korean: "Run, go", the soldiers trotted all the way to the checkpoint with neat steps.

Not to mention, the team of more than 2,000 people, all the black and 'colored' raincoats, the uniform footsteps in the rain, coupled with the kind of murderous aura that was "exposed" from the veterans, made the whole army give people a sense of not being angry and arrogant.

I've done this before, and I don't remember when, but I remember being 'quite nervous' at the time. I still vividly remember the last time I did such a thing, when I successfully deceived the puppet army, I found that my palms were full of sweat, but now I am not nervous at all.

In fact, I don't think it's anything to be nervous about, in other words, if you can deceive, you can deceive, if you can't deceive, you can fight, anyway, by now, our strange army has successfully penetrated into the hinterland of the enemy army, which can be said to be half of the success. Now it's just a question of whether or not you can get some unexpected surprises.

The comrades of the People's Army were also very cooperative, and all of them, including Lee Yong-eun, pretended to be puppet army officers and shouted loudly at the side of the team in Korean: "Hurry up and get your damn feet moving"

"Even his s*** is faster than you."

"When you get there, the Chinese army is waiting to stuff the explosives bag into your ass"

……

Although I have fought many times on the battlefield with the puppet army, I still just know that the puppet army officers treat their subordinates like this. But think about it, the puppet army is all trained by the Yankees, and the swear words of the American officers will naturally spread to the puppet army.

The People's Army is of the same clan as the puppet army, and there are even many People's Army soldiers who have defected from the puppet army, and of course I know much more about these than I know

"Nine o'clock direction, four hundred meters, one machine-gun position, two" machine guns " "

"In the direction of half past ten, 450 meters, machine gun positions, one 'strong' light and heavy machine guns, and one 'door' mortar"

……

The fighters of the Cold Gun Unit are running while notifying their teammates of the enemy's point of fire through the walkie-talkie. Then Hu Zudi quickly assigned each machine gun position to each cold gun group. Once the war starts, they will be the first to take out targets that can inflict a large number of casualties on our troops

Perhaps it was due to our might, or perhaps we did not believe that there would be such a large and neat enemy contingent in this place, so the puppet army post raised the fence without even asking.

However, there was still a puppet soldier who shouted loudly as we passed by: "Hey, which army?" Isn't there a war going on ahead? How do you go back? ”

"The 3rd Division of the Republic of Korea has been ordered to return to the 585.2 heights," I shouted at the puppet army. At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly exclaim in my heart that it was dangerous, and if I didn't pay attention to it just now, the number of "Pseudo Third Division" was almost shouted.

The puppet army sentries didn't ask too much, such a dispatch on the battlefield was really ordinary, so they watched us walk by with neat steps. At this time, there were even a few military vehicles that kicked up a puddle of muddy water and drove past us. The smart Li Yongen also shouted and cursed at the distant military vehicles for a while, which only caused the puppet army sentries to laugh for a while......

Things in the world are sometimes so strange that we didn't think we could fool them, but we were able to achieve surprisingly good results with the mentality of giving it a try, so that our troops ran all the way on the road for half an hour. From time to time, a few military vehicles drove by, and sometimes the puppet soldiers on the military vehicles waved at us

This gave me the illusion that we had really become puppet soldiers and comrades-in-arms, so much so that when we reached the 585.2 heights, we all had a feeling that we couldn't bear to do it.

Of course, I quickly woke up from this illusion, looking at the completely undefended 585.2 highland anticline, I waved my hand, and the soldiers of the Seventh Company took the lead, and under the guidance of the night vision device, the battalion with Hu Biao pounced on it like a dark cloud.

Wang Xin's second battalion was divided into three parts, one company occupied machine gun positions on both sides of the road, controlled and blocked the Joaquin road; One company quickly pounced on the crossing of the North Han River, and the remaining company served as a reserve for a battalion.

"Who? What for? The machine-gun positions on both sides of the road were the first to notice that something was wrong with the troops rushing towards them, so they let out a few shouts, but they were answered by a few gunshots.

The sound of gunfire instantly boiled this quiet rainy night, and after several puppet soldiers in the two machine gun positions on the highway that reacted the fastest were knocked down by the volunteer soldiers, they immediately turned the muzzle of the machine gun and tried to resist, but it was too late. The volunteer fighters had already rushed to a distance of only forty or fifty meters from them, and at this distance, the 'Bo' * Sha submachine gun in the hands of the fighters was no worse than a machine gun. In addition, the fighters took the lead again, and after a few shuttles of bullets, the puppet army in the machine gun position was beaten into a sieve without rushing to resist at all.

The puppet army in the direction of the ferry had no position at all, perhaps because of the fact that the 585.2 high ground could be used as a natural barrier, so the ferry had nothing but a few wooden houses, two machine-gun emplacements, and a few sentries. Before the puppet soldiers sleeping in the wooden houses could rush out of the 'door' of the room, they were knocked down by a burst of strafing 'fire' from the soldiers' machine guns and submachine guns, followed by the explosion of grenades, and the soldiers simply razed the wooden houses to the ground

There were also gunshots on the anticline of the 585.2 heights, and because it was too dark, I couldn't see what was going on there, but listening to the 'chaotic' sound of carbines above, it was not difficult for me to know that the sharpshooters equipped with night vision devices were playing their part to the fullest

In a sense, the tactics of the puppet army are somewhat similar to ours, that is, to arrange most of the troops on the anticline, and then use the "refueling tactics" to constantly replenish the troops into the main position of the positive incline. In fact, it's not just the puppet army that's like this, it can be said that almost any country fights like this when defending the high ground. Because in modern warfare with large-caliber artillery involved, no one would be stupid enough to put all his forces on a positive slope and let the enemy blow up. Moreover, for the sake of air defense and anti-artillery, most of them have built tunnels or anti-artillery 'holes' on the anti-slope plane, and even the US military, which has modern equipment, is no exception.

Of course, the puppet army stationed on the 585.2 heights is also like this, so the soldiers of the seventh company and the first battalion who attacked the 585.2 heights can have a good time. All they need to do seems to be just guarding the mouth of the tunnel, and the puppet army will fight one when they come out, and one pair will fight when they come out, if this is not enough, it will be ...... Throw a few grenades into it. If the grenade is blown up and you still feel uneasy, put an explosive 'charge' bag near the mouth of the pit and blow it up...... They don't even want to think about it these days

However, it is undoubtedly the next policy to use explosives to bomb the tunnels, considering that our army has no time to build fortifications at all, and can only use the existing fortifications of the puppet army, so before the start of the war, I have 'handed over' the soldiers to keep the enemy's fortifications intact as much as possible. Only in this way will it be possible for us to survive under the enemy's planes and artillery, and to be firmly nailed to this high ground like a nail.

The tunnels of the puppet army are mainly used for anti-artillery, and they do not have the role of supporting each other like the tunnels of the volunteer army, so it is not difficult to do this. The pillboxes and reinforced concrete fortifications built by the puppet army on the positive slope are all facing the north, and our army only needs to solve the enemy on the anti-slope, and then after capturing the hilltop position, it will condescendingly rush down...... Everything was worked out

"Kill"

As I thought, with a shout, the fighters rushed to the summit position of Heights 585.2 without any pause. And on their way forward, it was already covered with the blood and corpses of the puppet army.
