Chapter 9: Latent
"Captain! Gunnysack! After a while, Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei came in with a large bundle of sacks, pounced and piled them in front of me, and then asked with some reluctance: "Commander, when you go out to fight devils, what are we doing?" ”
"Dig a tunnel with your comrades." I didn't want to reply, "Didn't Xu Yongwei still learn blasting from Company Commander Zhang?" You two are not allowed to be lazy while I'm out and about! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei hurriedly 'stood up'.
"Captain Cui, the squad leader has been elected." Wang Yuehan came forward with three soldiers and introduced: "The first squad leader Hu Zudi, the former commander of the concave regiment, a member of the *** party, has been in the army for 12 years, and is a famous sharpshooter in the division, and there are hundreds of enemies who died under him. Second squad leader Yang Zhenshan. Former platoon commander of the flying regiment and member of the Communist Youth League, he enlisted in the army for eight years, was good at fighting tough battles, and was wounded more than 10 times. Wu Sihu, the third squad leader, was formerly the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Regiment, who has been in the army for seven years, has participated in dozens of large and small battles, and has rich combat experience".
"Hmm!" When I heard the name Wu Sihu, I suddenly remembered that he was the soldier who had drawn stones and dirt to make up the numbers, and I couldn't help but raise my head and look at a few of them.
Just this glance, I saw the difference between Wu Sihu and the others, the other two squad leaders stood straight in front of me, their eyes shining with excitement, holding their rifles tightly in their hands, and the whole thing looked like they were eager to try, and they seemed to be ready to go to the battlefield. Only Wu Sihu still stood calmly in front of me.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but wonder for a while, what made this Shandong young man face all this in his eyes so calmly. Look like that. He seemed to be an outsider. It's completely observing everything that happens around you as a third party.
"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan said: "I don't know what Captain Cui has to say about my arrangement!" ”
"No comment! Very good! I nodded.
Wang Yuehan is indeed a good deputy, which can be seen from the three squad leaders he arranged. It is conceivable that most of the soldiers below these squad leaders are soldiers of their own regiment, and this arrangement can make the soldiers quickly get acquainted with each other. Then go into battle as fast as you can.
"Call all the comrades up".
"Yes". The three squad leaders answered. Called out the collection. Soon the warriors were gathered in front of me. "Send the sacks down, one for each person!" I immediately followed up with another order.
At this time, it was the time when the three squad leaders played a role, and the three squad leaders began to distribute sacks without saying a word. But in a moment, each of the warriors had a sack in his hand.
But just as they were holding paper before. This time they looked at me with expressions of bewilderment.
"Follow me!" I don't explain either. When he 'draws' the thorns, he cut open the sack, and then cut out strips of cloth and wrapped them around his gun, 'exposing' only the hole in the scope, the ruler, and the crosshair. Seeing this, the soldiers quickly understood, and they all started to follow me.
After wrapping the gun, the next step is to hang the sack on the body. First wrap some strips of cloth around the hands and feet to exercise, then put the rest of the sacks on the body, ask someone to help sew some on the clothes and hats with needles and threads, and then use the blackened soil and water on the battlefield to paint the face and sacks, and a perfect camouflage is completed.
"Hey! Captain Cui, there are two hits! Wang Yuehan circled around me up and down, left and right, and looked at it for a while before exclaiming: "This is different from having experience and not having experience." Take a look. If you lie down in the position, no one will be able to find out where you are hiding! ”
I also wanted to take a mirror and see what I looked like, but it was almost impossible to have a mirror on this battlefield, so I had to look at the same soldier as me.
The brown 'color' of the sack is originally similar to the soil, and then painted with scorched earth, it is really like what Wang Yuehan said, it is difficult for anyone to find us if they lie on the ground and do not move.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, I had only seen the sniper's disguise on TV and movies before, but I didn't expect it to work well today.
"Comrades! Assign tasks now! I took a tree branch and pointed to the topographic map of the open mouth highlands and the blade 7 heights hanging on the tunnel wall, and said: "Our mission tonight is to lurk in the anticline of these two highlands and the mountain range area between the two inclined planes, and the lurking locations are, the first class of the high ground, the mountain range between the two high ground of the second class, and the third class of the seven high grounds. Latent location. The main thing is to be able to observe the enemy's position and hide yourself. The purpose is to observe the enemy and find out the regularity and distribution of the enemy's work and rest. It is required that trenches and bunkers cannot be constructed, which are undoubtedly the most obvious targets for the enemy; No shots are allowed, at any time. Even if there is a single enemy or a small group of enemies, even if you are sure that you will kill them, do not shoot! The incubation time is one day and one night,"
"What? One day and one night? "Before I finished speaking, it caused quite a stir among the soldiers, who always thought that this time they were going to fight the Yankees, but I didn't expect that I would order them not to shoot, and what I didn't expect was that I also asked them to lurk for a day and a night.
The Volunteers have been lurking in the past, but strictly speaking, it can't be considered lurking. Because that's just hidden
Crazy Ermu is waiting for the enemy to come. It's like sneaking into the forest to sprinkle a piece in the battle of Liangshui 'Hole' in the first battle of the dynasty. It's okay to 'pee' or poop. But now, the fighters all know what it means to lurk for this day and night,"
"Captain Cui! It's not good! Wang Yuehan immediately objected: "The incubation time is so long. That is, the fighters also have to lie on their positions during the day? And you can't build trenches, bunkers, and you can't shoot guns, isn't that a target for the enemy? I, I don't agree, it's too dangerous to do that! ”
"Yes, Captain Cui!" Zhang Mingxue also said on the side: "This is lurking for a day and a night." In case you have to poop or pee
"It's all pulled in the crotch of the 'pants'!" Ignoring Wang Yuehan's objections, I ordered the soldiers: "Come back here tomorrow night when it gets dark and concentrate!" Let's go! ”
Without saying a word, he turned around and lifted the black cloth and ran into the night.
The autumn wind was whining, and the light of the searchlight pierced the darkness and swayed over the position. It's like monster eyes staring at our position in the dark. Once something alive is found. will stick out his fangs and swallow us in one gulp,"
I took thirty or so with me. The warriors walked and stopped, sometimes running and sometimes lying down, walking through the position like ghosts.
The position was littered with craters and scorched earth softly turned by shells, which slowed us down to a great extent, but provided us with good cover. Because the sack on our body is almost the same color as the scorched earth on the position, whenever the light of the searchlight 'shines' through, we only need to lie down in the crater, and no matter how good the enemy's eyesight is, we will not be able to see anything.
Reached the point of finger 'hair'. I waved my hand backwards, and soon a dozen warriors scattered to find their own lurking positions, a group of Huzudi, who would lurk here for a day and a night, until now the next night.
Then there was the second shift in the mountains, and finally the Blade 7 Heights. I've also lurked on the heights of Blade 7, and the warriors are covered in camouflage. In this dark night, once you lie down, you can no longer find them, and at first I heard a little sound of coughing and crawling. After a while there was nothing. Once again, the world was plunged into darkness and tranquility.
Except, of course, the searchlights that streaked over our heads.
The location I chose to lurk in front of a small hill at the top of the hill was chosen in case I was discovered. You can also use this hill to dodge the bullets that the enemy 'fires'. I wanted to hide behind a blown tree stump, but thinking that the U.S. military would probably choose it as a target to practice marksmanship when they were bored, I hurriedly climbed away. I used my hands hard, buried most of the gun in the earth, and only 'exposed' the sniper scope for easy observation, anyway, I was not going to shoot this time, I didn't want to take the lead in disobeying my orders.
This is my first time back to the Strong 7 Heights, as I have been focusing on the construction of tunnel fortifications. So I haven't noticed this rush 7 high ground below me. It wasn't until I received the command of the soldiers to carry out the cold gun campaign that I asked Wang Yuehan for a topographic map.
It was only after I saw the topographic map that I realized that the blade? The situation in the highlands is completely different from that of the highlands. The biggest difference is that only half of the Gong 7 Heights belong to the Volunteer Army.
There are two hills in the 7 Highlands, which are divided into the South Mountain and the North Mountain. Among them, Nanshan is under the control of the US army, while Beishan is in the hands of the volunteers. What the warriors usually refer to as the Blade 7 Highlands actually refers to the 7 Highlands of Kitayama.
It is precisely because of this that the distance between the Shao 77 Heights and the enemy's defense line is very short, especially in the mountainous area between the two heights, and the closest distance from the enemy's defense line is only about 50 meters.
Presumably, this is the famous sniper ridge on Shangganling! I subconsciously slowly raised my head and looked towards the mountain range in the middle. In the light of hostile searchlights, I could faintly see the outline of the mountain. Looking at the enemy's position, it is hard for me to imagine that it was here that the volunteer soldiers fought a sniper battle that shocked the whole country. Because the terrain of this mountain range ranges from a few meters to a dozen meters lower than the enemy's position on the opposite side, which is on two fronts so close to each other. The impact of this height difference is significant. Especially in sniper warfare, this height difference means that the enemy can condescendingly observe more range, while we are the opposite.
I felt a little numb in my hands and feet. I subconsciously moved and shifted my weight to the other side. I couldn't help but secretly complain, this is the beginning of the net, and it is still at night when it is relatively free. Once daylight comes, we will be completely *** in the sight of the enemy, and then we will only need to move, even if there is only one. Fingers. It is very likely that they will *** themselves and attract a rain of bullets from the enemy.
But what can be done? Shooting cold guns, sneak battles like this are not too common. I am reminded of the material I read in modern times, that the volunteers learned to lurk in front of the enemy's positions, and then developed into lurk warfare, and this is at this time.
In order to reach their targets, the fighters often had to secretly lurk in front of the enemy's position the night before. Wait until dawn the next day to prepare an ambush for the enemy. Pick the enemy's lone or important target to attack. Moreover, even if you hit the target, you will not be able to return to the position, because as long as you move, you will be under enemy fire... Cang, the 'wave' has no birth, but it can wait until the night boil comes again, and then it can slowly climb back.
In this way, a mission can be considered to be successfully completed.
This tactic not only hits the enemy with cold guns, but also provides a very rich experience in latent warfare in the future, laying the foundation for latent warfare.
However, while knowing these. I also know the early days of the Cold Gun Cold Gun Campaign. The fighters were not so professional.
In modern sources, the surviving veteran of the Volunteer Army recalled: "When I started to shoot cold. Hit one. The enemy, the fighters jumped up and shouted, "Hit!" Hit! "Some of the fighters in the tunnel will also run out and cheer, but the enemy shells will come, and we will suffer!"
My goal is clear, to try to avoid this kind of thing, and to minimize the casualties of the fighters as much as possible. Let this cold gun cold gun movement enter the state as soon as possible.
This time, I let the fighters lurk in the position and strictly ordered them not to shoot. That's for it.
The fighters are all sharpshooters, and they don't need to be taught by me at all, they need to learn it. How to lurk, how to endure. How to save yourself",
As the minutes passed, the sky slowly brightened. First, the outline of the summit gradually became clearer, and then the dividing line between the summit and the clouds slowly turned white and brightened. After a while, it turned red again, and then before I could get ready, half of the sun appeared on the top of the mountain.
And so my nightmare began. The distance between the two hills was only a little more than 100 meters, and in the scope, I could clearly see the American troops on the opposite side coming out of their single tents. He holds a tooth cup in his hand and a 'wool' towel on his shoulder. Hang Erlang was joking with his comrades-in-arms while washing, and some even shaved in the mirror with music on, the melodious music was clearly audible, and it turned out to be Marilyn Monroe's song "Coffee and Dumbness"
It seems that Monroe is not an ordinary red in this era! It is said that many Americans regard her as the lover of their dreams, and hang her picture on the 'bed', especially the one where the skirt is blown up and a pair of ****** are revealed......
Ouch! Oh no, "I actually had a reaction!"
God, I'm lying on the ground right now. And you still can't move, aren't you going to do it against me?
I pinched my fingers vigorously for a while before I "calmed down", and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Look at the other side again. The Yankees who are shaving their faces, but they still twist along with the music. Seeing this, I couldn't help but have a strong *** pulling the trigger, but in the end I pressed it.
Morning was the time when the U.S. military's awareness of crime prevention was most lax, and I quickly came to this conclusion.
If I'm the only one lurking right now, then maybe I'll do it without hesitation, and I'm sure I'll get out of it. Because it can be seen that the Yankees were not prepared at all at this time, machine guns, mortars, etc., were all far away, and only a few sentries were in the front line and were observing the positions of our troops with binoculars.
In such a situation, I fired a few shots and ran, having time to retreat into the pit before they could organize a fire.
But now I'm not alone, not to mention the no-shoot order I gave myself, and there are still a dozen fighters lurking around me. I was able to run back in time because I was prepared, but what about the other fighters? The enemy smashed a bunch of shells, and it is strange that we have no casualties.
Perhaps, other warriors now have the same impulse! Usually accustomed to the life of fighting the enemy as soon as they see the gun raised, and now they are asked not to shoot under the death order, which is really difficult for them. It's like putting a big piece of 'fat' and 'meat' in the mouth of a hungry wolf and ordering it not to eat it.
To be exact, it should be an ordeal, a kind of torture.
That's all I need.
I'm going to use this torment, this torment. In the shortest possible time, the patience and calmness of the fighters were trained.
After today, I think they will see their prey in the future. It is no longer a matter of raising the gun and shooting like before, but first thinking with a cool head: Can this prey be shot? Is it worth fighting? Can I get out of the way after the fight?
However, as the sun rises higher and higher. I'm starting to regret that I've come up with it.
Thirst and hunger made me miserable, and what made me even more unbearable was the pain in my limbs, and the soles of my feet were like thousands of ants crawling and biting, followed by numbness.
Exhaustion and dizziness also made me a little drowsy for a while, but I didn't dare to let myself fall asleep because I was afraid of falling asleep once I did. If you turn over in a dream, you may never wake up again.
! I couldn't help but curse secretly, I'm already very patient, and I'm also very calm, isn't it? Why come up and suffer this sin again! Now I really can't understand how the volunteer soldiers did this. But what does that mean? The volunteer soldiers can not only do this, but also be burned alive without saying a word.
At this moment, suddenly there was a muffled sound from the hinterland of the highlands. I couldn't help but feel nervous in my heart, and secretly said that it was terrible, and I forgot to tell the soldiers not to blow up stones and open tunnels", if you want to know what is going on, please log in...
