The troops of the Volunteer Army and the puppet capital division fought together. After hovering in the air for a few minutes, the US planes finally flew away helplessly because they were running out of fuel.

As soon as the US planes left, the soldiers had no worries about the future, and their morale could not help but be shocked, and they all "stood up" with bayonets and killed the puppet army like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

The soldiers had long 'fought' with the puppet capital division on the machine gun positions on the Eastern Front, and now they also recognized the unique armband on the shoulders of the puppet capital division, so it can be said that they know the root of the matter and have long been prepared in their hearts. In addition, the soldiers were condescending to rush down and occupy an advantage in the terrain, so they killed the puppet capital division in one face, turned over on their backs, and collapsed.

On the other hand, the puppet capital division, because there were no obvious marks on the uniforms of the various units of the Volunteer Army, they did not know that we were the unit with which they had fought with bayonets a few days earlier. The reason why they dare to fight us 'hand-to-hand' in this situation. A large part of this is due to the underestimation of the enemy. After all, they are a unit that came out of World War II and was trained by little Japan, which is good at fighting stabs. There are few opponents on the battlefield of stabbing. So there is always such arrogance in his bones.

But only when they reached out to us. I knew that this time it was wrong again. Because they soon found out from the strong stabbing skills of the soldiers that this unit was the one that defeated them with bayonets not long ago, and the scene of the volunteers using bayonets against them a few days ago is still vivid, and the fear in their hearts has not subsided, and the scars on their bodies have not yet healed.

When they realized this, the ranks of the team soon became 'chaotic', but the volunteers became more and more courageous the more they fought, all of them shouted and 'stood up' with bayonets and stabbed at the puppet army for a 'chaotic', and in an instant blood splashed everywhere on the battlefield, and the screams were tight.

It didn't take long for the puppet capital division to completely collapse under the offensive of the volunteer soldiers, and the entire army desperately turned around and fled to its position,

Puppet capital division! Even if they escape, they are different from other troops, and ordinary puppet soldiers may escape from the level, so if they want to flee when they lose the battle, they will scatter in a hurry and scatter in all directions with tacit understanding Their kind of kung fu to break up into pieces sometimes even the volunteer soldiers who are used to guerrilla warfare are admired tightly. Because sometimes we have already defeated the puppet army and even surrounded it, but we can't catch a few people!

However, it is obvious that in terms of escaping, the puppet capital division is far less experienced than other puppet armies, isn't it? They all retreated in one direction, their positions. This can't be blamed on the ruthlessness of our volunteer soldiers, who set up a few 'strong' machine guns and "banged" at their backs, which was to knock down a ***.

"Retreat!"

It's a pity that I know that as soon as the two armies are separated, the enemy's artillery fire will soon come over. So I had to pay for the withdrawal of the army ※ ※※

"Captain Cui!" When I returned to the regiment headquarters, Jiang 'Chun' Zeng quickly greeted me and asked, "How is it?" Is the loss big? ”

"It's not been counted yet." I leaned my rifle against the wall of the tunnel, sat on a chair and said with some concern: "But most of the casualties should not be caused by US planes."

"it!" Huang Xianhua scolded fiercely: "These enemies are as cunning as foxes. Anyway, they will use planes to carry out surprise attacks! ”

"Fortunately, Captain Cui should be quick to randomize!" Li Pinghe walked in covered in blood, and said: "It was really thrilling just now, if it wasn't for Commander Cui's quick decision and ordering the troops to rush up and get tangled with the puppet army, this loss would not be what it is now." ”

"What's the use of saying that?" I couldn't help but say with some bitterness: "If the enemy can come like this once, he can come a second time!" Now the question is. How are we going to defend this position?

As soon as I said this, the soldiers in the tunnel were silent.

The grim reality lies before our eyes. Surface positions simply could not build fortifications and could not withstand the bombardment of enemy aircraft, even for a while.

If it is the enemy's artillery, it is fine, but the shells will at least not be so 'precise', and there are traces to be found, and the soldiers have time to burrow into the tunnel to hide when the enemy fires the artillery. But this plane,

If we are on a surface position, once the planes come, it means that we are completely *** under their firepower. Just like the battle just now, if you don't enter the tunnel, you have to fight with the plane. They don't have until they're out of bullets or out of gas. When they entered the tunnel, dozens of people lined up at the mouth of the tunnel, so that the plane would have an incendiary bomb or a bomb all gone."

"Or," Li Pinghe said with some hesitation: "Let's just hide in the tunnel, and when the enemy enters the surface position, let's give them a burst of shells and then rush out, so that as soon as our troops go out, they will be killed with the enemy, and the enemy can't do anything even if he has planes, right?" ”

"No way!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng quickly denied: "This kind of fight is too passive, the enemy can just come up and seal us in the pit props!" ”

"I agree with Chief of Staff Chiang!" Li Yan also agreed: "We don't have many shells. If you hide in the tunnel and need artillery fire support every time, you can't afford to spend it at all. Moreover, if this is done, the enemy is likely to only dispatch "two heights to seal us in the tunnel armor", such as lying a few platoons, one by one, in the case of the enemy's knowledge, our artillery unit will be covered by one firepower. Hundreds of shells have been fired, and a few people have not been killed! ”

Listening to the words of Jiang 'Chun' Zeng and Li Yan. Li Pinghe couldn't help but blush, thinking that it was because he stayed in the political trial office for too long and was detached from the real battlefield for too long, so the proposed plan was not very practical.

"Turtle son!" Huang Xianhua scolded a little angrily: "It's not okay to go out to fight, it's not okay if you don't go out to fight!" How could this Ma Liangshan be in such a situation! I don't think the enemy's high ground will be like this, but it is our high ground

"The enemy's high grounds?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. Without saying a word, he went to the topographic map and found the high ground where the British troops were stationed in front. Just as Huang Xianhua said, although the enemy's high ground is not high, only more than 200 meters above sea level, it is very steep and very suitable for defense.

"Chief of Staff Chiang". Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask: "Do you think we can come to attack and defend?"

"Offense as defense?" Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, and Jiang 'Chun' Zeng seemed to understand what I meant: "What does Commander Cui mean by "taking the enemy's position as a buffer zone?" ”

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "The enemy has the aerial fire of the aircraft, and no matter how we fight, it is very passive. Just now, Chief of Staff Chiang and Staff Officer Li also said that it is unrealistic to hold on to it, and there will definitely be heavy casualties. Then there are only two paths in front of us, either retreat or attack! Retreat is impossible. The superiors gave us a death order, so there was only an attack! ”

"Offense?. Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, our frontal enemy has at least one division. And there are also many that are the ace units of the enemy. Shall we attack with the strength of a regiment?

"If we can take this high ground of the enemy." I pointed to the location of the enemy's high ground on the map and said, "We can turn our reactive into proactive." Only a small number of troops will be stationed there, and that high ground will become our forward position! into our buffer. Once the enemy attacks with a large force, we can see the opportunity to send troops to reinforce it

"That's right". Jiang 'Chun' nodded in agreement: "If the enemy has planes, our army can go to reinforcements more than ten minutes late, and our soldiers can't hold up for more than ten minutes, but the enemy's planes can't stand up."

This basically solves the problem of being hit in the head by an airplane! ”

"I also agree with Captain Cui's plan!" Huang Xianhua thought about it and agreed: "Even if we lose our position, we can take it back, so that the battlefield will not be on the Mazhen Mountain, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, but will become pushed around on the enemy's position." Even if you lose your position due to the difficulty of defending during the day, you can still take it back at night! ”

"But, Captain Cui!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng also raised difficulties: "The enemy bullied us that we did not have aircraft and artillery, so we did not have the habit of building tunnel fortifications, and we did not even have the most basic one-man air defense 'shelter'. I'm afraid that if our large army rushes over, it will be like the Scottish Regiment of the Royal British Army, even if it has taken the position. But they will be hit by a single cannon fire and suffer heavy casualties! ”

"This," I replied after thinking about it, "It's not a big problem, they don't have a single air raid 'shelter', we can let them build it!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't believe that what I said was true. I even thought I had heard it wrong.

"How? How's the preparation? I ran to the position with my rifle in my hand and whispered to Li Dark, who was lying on the high ground with a telescope and a gun mirror to observe the enemy's firing points.

"Captain Cui, why are you here? Li Dian looked back and saw that it was me, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "It's dangerous here!" You'd better go back."

"I'm in the tunnel." I smiled and looked at the enemy position with a telescope: "How's it going?" It's not hard to find enemy fire points."

"It's not hard". Li Yan smiled and said, "Just as we thought, the enemy didn't expect us to attack at all, so the firing point was a few machine gun positions piled up with sandbags at random." The trenches were also stacked with sandbags, and such fortifications were blown up in a few shots

"Don't blow it up too hard!" In the aperture of the telescope. Looking at the British soldiers sitting lazily in front of the trenches on the other side, 'smoking' and chatting, I couldn't help but 'confess': "Our shelling this time is just to make these British Yankees aware of the danger and let them help us build the air-raid 'shelter', so don't blow it up too hard." Otherwise, our offensive intentions will outweigh the losses! "Rest assured! Captain Cui! Li nodded and said, "Look at me"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and shouted a few coordinates to the walkie-talkie, and after a while, he only heard a few strange howls of "woo" in the air, followed by a few "boom," and several firepower points built with sandbags on the enemy's position flew into the sky in just this instant. By the time the smoke cleared, the machine guns and people at the firing point didn't know where they had been blown up. went.

"Well played!" I can't help but applaud, after fighting for so long, I have always been bullied by the Yankees' artillery, and now it is finally the turn of the artillery of our volunteer army to exert its might. Although yesterday when I fought the British Scottish regiment, there were six or seven rounds of threats, but how can I watch it with my own eyes now! At this time, the British soldiers who were resting in front of the trenches reacted to what was going on, and they were also veterans of World War II. But their trenches made of white sandbags were too conspicuous to us.

Then there was another whistling, and a dozen shells exploded in front of and behind the trenches with great precision. Two shells also hit the trench directly, instantly lifting a dozen British soldiers into the air and even blowing their trench open. Although this sandbag fortification is convenient, it is still not as strong as it was dug into the ground!

"Is it enough?. After the fight, Li Dian put away the binoculars with satisfaction and asked me.

"Almost". I patted Li Dian on the shoulder and said, "Stunned and beautiful, let's go back to the air-raid 'shelter' first!" If these guys don't dig their bomb holes, we'll come up and give them a few more shots."

"Okay". Li responded happily and ran after me to the pit. "How? How's it going?. When our group of three people ran back to the regiment headquarters, they were surrounded by Jiang 'Chun' and them. Huang Xianhua couldn't wait to ask: "Are you fighting devils?" How many are there? ”

"Will there still be a problem if I make a move?" Li Yan said with some pride: "You ask Regiment Commander Cui, you have knocked out four enemy firepower points in one go, and at least 30 British devils have been blown up!" ”

"Hey! Well played wow! Huang Xianhua clenched his fist fiercely: "If it weren't for Commander Cui insisting that there are too many people, he would not let us go up, I would also like to see how powerful our artillery comrades are!" ”

"That's it!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng also said a little unconvinced: "I said Captain Cui." You're talking about too many people going to ***. What? In the blink of an eye, you're gone! Captain Cui! The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, as the head of a group, you have to lead by example, how can you?"

"I'm not thinking about you old people, is I?" Seeing that Jiang 'Chun' was interested in making trouble for me, I was not to be outdone: "Old Jiang! I'm looking at your age, that's why I won't let you go! Leave this climb up and down to us young people! Besides, your old eyes, you have to hold a magnifying glass to look at a map, even if you go to the position, can you see where the artillery is fired? Maybe the enemy's shells have hit your eyes, and you still think it's our own shells that are applauding one after another! ”

"Hey! You, you're cheap and good! "Jiang 'Chun' Zeng was speechless when I said this. It only made everyone in the pit laugh.

"Report!" At this time, a soldier in full camouflage appeared at the mouth of the tunnel, saluted us and reported: "Report to the regimental commander, the enemy has begun to build an air-raid 'hole'!" ”

"Hmm! So fast". Jiang 'Chun' couldn't help but quip: "Why are these British devils so obedient!" Just like our boys! ”

There was a coax, and there was another burst of laughter in the tunnel.

"Captain Cui!" After laughing for a while, Li Pinghe said to me: "Just now, I have already reported our plan and hair to the division headquarters in detail, and Division Commander Pang expressed his support for our battle plan.

He said: Proceeding from the overall strategic situation, launching a partial counterattack against the enemy is also of great strategic significance to cooperating with the Kaesong talks, and this is a political battle, and if we can push the front northward under the enemy's attack, this will not only smash the enemy's strategic objective of launching the autumn offensive, but will also gain our side considerable initiative at the negotiating table."

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, I didn't expect that such a small battle would also affect the negotiations, and it would also affect politics and gain the initiative. But think about it. This is not just a matter of mountains and heights, if we really fight and can still hold on, then it can be said to be *** at the negotiating table!

"So," Li Pinghe continued to say in his unhurried tone: "Based on the important 'nature' of this battle, Division Commander Pang has decided to send us an additional armored force!" ”

"What? Armored forces? Hearing this, all the people present couldn't help but be stunned, even Li Yan, who was an artillery staff officer.

Did Commander Pang say, "What kind of unit is this armored unit?" I asked with some hesitation, and I still can't believe it's true.

If you really want to talk about the armored forces of the Volunteer Army. It was formed more than a month before China sent troops to Korea, but the real large-scale development was after the outbreak of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, that is, Tian Nian. In June, it purchased equipment from the Soviet Union for the old tank regiments, including the Xiabi medium tank, the four two heavy tanks, and the four ugly self-propelled guns.

Although these equipment were available, the tank's "operation" was no better than other weapons, so the tanks of the Volunteer Army never appeared on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and it was not until the summer and autumn defensive battles that they came in handy.

No, it wasn't my troops who used tanks for the first time! Everyone turned their attention to Li Pinghe,

"There is a saying". Li Pinghe still said slowly: "It is the troops of the first armored division, one regiment and two battalions, with a total of eleven tanks." Yi Xunshu is sunned and concave and said that it is a different body clam
