Chapter 41: Separation
There are many things in the world that are easier said than done, and the same is true for the scratching fighters who learn to use night vision devices.
The difficulty does not come from learning to use the night vision device itself, in fact, using the night vision device is not difficult at all, it comes and goes is to adjust a twist. Carbines were no problem for the fighters either. If you are so familiar with a gun that you know the role of each of its parts, then it will be much easier to play with other guns. Therefore, although the fighters rarely used carbines in the past, they gradually became familiar with the new weapons in their hands after firing live ammunition for a few hours, and quickly entered the state.
The difficulties mainly come from night vision devices and the environment in which the fighters practice.
Originally, the best training environment was to carry out actual combat training outside the tunnel with night vision devices, but the US military may have lost its temper because of the loss of this 'elite' sniper unit, and the artillery shells hit our positions for a while every few minutes. The light of flares, searchlights, shone almost intermittently on the positions of our troops.
Artillery shells and the like are easy to solve, anyway, we also have to conduct live-fire exercises, I can choose the blind spot of the US bombing on the anti-slope plane for practice, and there are a few US shells as a foil to set off the atmosphere. But there is no way to solve the problem of the 'chaotic' flares and the 'chaotic' searchlight lines flying all over the sky. The flickering light made it impossible for us, equipped with night vision devices, to practice normally outside the tunnel.
As a last resort, I had to pull my troops into the "invincible tunnel" to carry out live ammunition 'shooting', but in the tunnel, I didn't have the feeling of waiting for the prey to appear in the ice and snow. Despite this, the warriors still played twelve points of "spirit" spirit, and concentrated "essence" to practice using the "new guy" in their hands in the pit
"Captain!" Watching the soldiers shoot targets in the dark, Wang Yuehan boredomically handed me a cigarette. I didn't think much about it, so I took it easily, but when Wang Yuehan struck the match in his hand, the gunfire in the pit suddenly became 'chaotic'. That's when we realized that just lighting a match would affect the normal use of night vision devices."
"Alas! It looks like these things from the Yankees. It's also useless! Wang Yuehan couldn't help but say.
I understand what Wang Yuehan meant, if the night vision device will affect the use of even this little light, then it is not useless at all on the battlefield where a row of flares will be shot at every turn! I think this is exactly why the US military will use the secret weapon of night vision devices on the sniper battlefield, rather than in large-scale battles! It seems that the higher-ups have no need to worry that this kind of equipment will affect our army's ability to fight at night and thus affect the formulation of our army's campaign strategy in the future.
But I know that night vision devices are not as useless as Wang Yuehan thought. Because in some specific battlefields, such as night raids, rescues, or assassinations and other special missions, night vision devices can come in handy. At least now that we have night vision devices, we don't have to worry about what special sniper units the U.S. military will send to kill our cold-gun fighters.
"Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander Cui," at this moment, a correspondent outside Jiaodao walked in with a flashlight. So that the fighters had to stop the movement of their hands again.
"Captain Cui!" The correspondent 'stood up' in front of me and reported, "Senior Commander Wang has something to look for you. Let you go to the division headquarters immediately! ”
"Coming soon!" I took the hat from Xu Yongwei's hand and put it on, and 'handed over' Wang Yuehan. took Zhang and Xu out of the tunnel. There was a heavy smell of gunsmoke outside the tunnel, and from time to time there were several explosions of shells on the small positive slope, and occasionally one or two shells would explode at the foot of the mountain across the top of the mountain with a whistling sound. Although there were no stars or moon in the dark sky, the light of the US military flares illuminated the outside world as if it were daytime.
When the light from the flares died out, darkness fell again.
The three of us didn't dare to be too careless, because it was difficult to guarantee that there were American snipers hiding in the shadows on the opposite hill, waiting to give us a fatal blow. The three of us walked all the way through the snow, trying to stick to the side walls and stones of the path, and in a short time we arrived at the division headquarters.
"Commander Cui, come on, come on" As soon as he saw me, Senior Commander Wang enthusiastically pulled me to the desk and sat down, and handed me a cup of hot water that had been prepared for a long time and said: "Let me tell you a good news first, after I gave your captured night vision devices to my superiors, my superiors gave you a high evaluation of the completion of the task this time!" Say that you are the model unit of our army's cold gun troops, and call on other troops to learn from you! ”
Listening to Commander Wang's words, although I didn't feel anything in my heart, I think the soldiers would definitely be very happy if they heard this. Because in this era, being able to become a model army and calling on other troops to learn from them is in itself to lift them to a certain height, an affirmation of them, and an honor.
"What's even more reassuring is this," said Master Wang, who happily handed me two newspapers.
I took it and looked at it, and it was the Seoul Morning Post again. It seems that our army relied on these newspapers to analyze the reaction of the US military to the war situation.
"Here, this, and this," Master Wang pointed to a few places circled with pencils in the newspaper, and laughed, "I can't read it." It wasn't until I heard Flip Ze talk about it that I didn't know that you were a different body clam from Yi Xunshu
"Huh? Got in the enemy's newspapers? Listening to this, I couldn't help but be curious, and I also wanted to know what those joint *** said about us, so I picked up the newspaper and read it.
The first few articles don't mention us. just blindly exaggerated how heroic their special sniper unit was, using secret weapons on the battlefield to give the red snipers a devastating 'sexual' blow on the battlefield, and emphasizing that the joint *** troops would never have to worry about the "''disturbance' of the red 'color' snipers from now on". There's even a picture of an American GI on the left: Jimmy, the captain of the Special Sniper Unit.
Yes? After seeing the marking, I couldn't help but look at the American GI in the newspaper a few more times, only to realize that he was actually one of the two American snipers who died under my hands.
Sometimes this world is really like this, so I can see him again, maybe this can be regarded as a kind of fate!
Thinking of the fear and panic on his face before he died, and the lifeless roll of his eyes before he died, I could not connect him to the American GI in front of me with an unstoppable smile on his face.
I flipped to the second newspaper, but I was stunned to find a big headline Red 'color' elements launched a counterattack, and the US army suffered a crushing defeat!
Looking at the content again, what I said was that the secret weapon of the US military turned out to be a single weapon equipped with a night vision device, and the reason why the US sniper was able to defeat the enemy sniper last night and achieve victory was completely dependent on the advantage of the night vision device. It's a shame. The red 'color' elements were able to find a way to deal with night vision devices overnight, and set a perfect trap for the US troops equipped with night vision devices to lure and 'lure' US snipers with surprise troops, and use flares to make US snipers temporarily lose sight, and then retreat under the cover of artillery and infantry after a successful blow. After this battle, the US army's special sniper unit was completely wiped out, and all ten sets of night vision devices were surrendered, and finally made a summary: For the US army, the loss of this battle was not only ten snipers and ten sets of equipment. and the confidence and morale of the soldiers,
"Hmm!" I can't help but feel a little strange when I see this.
The fact that the Seoul Morning Post would write such a book was a big surprise to me. It stands to reason that during this particular period of war, most of the media were used by the rulers to promote favorable information to cheer up their troops, but this time it was the opposite, which is really incomprehensible.
Looking at my frowning appearance, Senior Commander Wang seemed to see the doubts in my heart, and explained with a smile on the side: "When I saw these news on the Internet, I was as stunned and strange as you, and later I heard the KPA intelligence officer explain. That's when I understood the truth. What do you say, it turns out that we weren't the only ones watching the battle on the battlefield that night! In order to publicize the power of special snipers and show off in front of other joint forces, the U.S. military actually summoned war correspondents from all over the world to hide on another high ground and use high-powered binoculars to watch the battle that night.
You didn't want to steal the 'chicken' but instead ate the rice, and your actions that night happened to let war correspondents from all over the world see how you beat up the American devils. Because the reporters are from several countries, some of them are not lacking, and some people want to see Yankee jokes, so Yankees can't hold back! This is not? The next day, the news was reported. It just happened to fight a propaganda war for our army! ”
"Oh! So that's what happened! "I realized when I heard this. The Yankees are too careless, the battlefield is ever-changing, and there is no one side that will definitely win and which side will definitely lose. The Yankees don't know that. They deserve to shoot themselves in the foot!
"There's one more thing I want to tell you, that's it," said Master Wang, handing me a telegram.
I took it and saw that it was sent by Master Pang. The division that reads on it has entered the stage of preparing for war, and if Cui Wei completes his task, he hopes to tell him to return to the country.
Looking at me, I couldn't help but be stunned, this is going back? The Battle of Shangganling hasn't started yet! And the new unit equipped with night vision devices in my hands has just begun to train, and I plan to train them as a special forces! But now......
"We don't want you to go either!" Master Wang quipped helplessly: "But your Master Pang seems to be afraid that I will snatch you away." As soon as I knew that you had completed your mission, I sent this telegram, and it was not obvious what it meant! ”
Handed me a cigarette, and Division Commander Wang continued: "But Commander Cui, what Division Commander Wang said is right, the first batch of rotating troops has begun to enter the DPRK in batches, which means that our tactical counterattack will also enter the preparation stage!" You are the head of the nephew's group, and the master needs you even more! Even if I can't bear it, I have to let you go! ”
As he spoke, Master Wang patted me on the shoulder. Then he shook my hand heavily and said, "Thank you again for your contribution to our troops!" After returning to China in a few months, our brothers will get together. I'm going to do it, so I'm going to have a good meal! ”
"Divisional Commander!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be moved. So far, there has never been a division-level leader who has treated him as a brother.
"Say no more!" Senior Commander Wang nodded at me: "Go back and prepare your luggage and say goodbye to the soldiers on the high ground!" My car happened to be empty. I'll let Kobayashi send you back to the army! ”
"Commander, this" Hearing that Commander Wang was going to send me off in his special car, I couldn't help but hesitate again.
It's not interesting enough! Master Wang pretended to have a straight face! "Don't you know how to use orders to pressure you?"
"Yes!" Seeing this, I had no choice but to salute Master Wang in a dignified manner, and then turned around and walked out of the tunnel.
Walking out of the division headquarters, my steps couldn't help but feel a little heavy. All I thought about was how to tell the warriors on the high ground when I went back. In the past few months since I came to Shangganling, I have long had a deep relationship with them. Actually, it goes without saying a few months. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield know that as long as they have experienced life and death on the battlefield for a few days, or even several hours, the feelings between each other are many times deeper than the friends they have 'made' for a few years, not to mention how many times we are still together. Month. Now I suddenly want to be separated from them, and I don't know what it's like......
The soldiers who returned to the high ground in a daze and met me still saluted me as usual, their eyes still shining with admiration, and the soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit were still practicing their marksmanship in the tunnel. I couldn't say anything goodbye to them in my heart.
I always thought I wasn't an indecisive person. In fact, there are never very few indecisive people on the battlefield, because the battlefield is not suitable for such people to survive. But I'm starting to doubt this now, because in front of the "invincible tunnel" practiced by the soldiers, I went in and out several times, but I didn't go in, and finally sighed and went back to my headquarters. I only saw that the two guards Zhang and Xu who were following behind me were inexplicable, but I didn't dare to ask more questions when I looked at my frowning face.
"You guys go pack your bags too, and we'll go back to the army!" After being stunned for a while in the headquarters, I said to Zhang and Xu.
"What?" Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.
"What's that?" Not in a good mood. I shouted at the two of them angrily, "This is the letter to the master, don't you understand?" ”
"Oh," Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei hesitated, but they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly ran towards their pit in response.
"By the way, call Wang Xianru too!" I added a sentence later.
Wang Xianru was originally a person who avoided the group, but it was only because the cold gun troops needed his special skills that he was kept all the time.
Actually, there is no luggage to prepare. It's just to roll up a 'bed' marching quilt, bring your own weapons, and *** it's almost the same. So the four of them quickly got ready and walked down the mountain.
When passing through the "Invincible Tunnel". Zhang Mingxue couldn't help but ask: "Regiment leader, don't you say goodbye to your comrades?" ”
"Don't do it!" I replied in a muffled voice, "Don't" so as not to disturb their practice! ”
I didn't want them to know how reluctant I was to leave, so I made an excuse. But this excuse is so unclever that even I feel far-fetched.
The four of them walked silently all the way down the mountain. They kept turning back as they walked, Wang Xianru was fine, but he waved his hand at the dark high ground from a distance, and I held back and didn't look back. Keep your head down and just go your own way.
"Captain Cui!"
"There...... Captain Cui is leaving! ”
At this time, the shouts of Wang Yuehan and the soldiers suddenly came from behind him.
When they got closer, I couldn't help but curse secretly: These guys, the night vision devices that the net seized from the enemy are actually used to chase,"
"Captain Cui" was the latest to run in front of me, but Wang Yuehan pushed me out of breath and said, "You, why did you leave like this?" Say not to say a word? If it weren't for the call from the division headquarters asking me to take over the work of the cold-gun troops, we would still be 'blinded'! ”
The next person who ran up was Zhang Xiaoxiao, who also shouted at me with a reproachful tone: "Why, how can you say that we are also brothers, it's too boring for you to leave like this!" ”
The soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit slowed down very tacitly when they ran to me, and then more than a dozen people came up and hugged each other. Some held my hand, some hugged my shoulder. The mouth shouted one after another:
"Take care!" "Goodbye!"
"Remember to come back and see us!"
One by one, we shook hands with our comrades, and a few of us finally waved our hands and parted with the fighters. Walk down the high ground with heavy affection. After a few bends along the path, I couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of me, in the cold and dark night, there were a group of people waiting on both sides of the path. At first, I didn't know who they were waiting for, but when they came up one by one and took the initiative to shake my hand and say goodbye to me. That's when I realized that they were all here to see me off.
And I, I don't even know who they are,"
"Head Cui, you have such a big face!" In front of the jeep, Division Commander Wang quipped: "Do you know that these comrades heard that you were leaving, and they all came to see you off spontaneously, and I, the division commander, don't have the same style as you when traveling!" You've stolen all the limelight from me! ”
There was a coax, and the surrounding warriors all laughed.
Looking at these lovely, respectable, and admirable warriors around me, and looking at their kind smiling faces, I, who have always been good at words, can't say anything. Just silently shook hands with them, shook hands, shook hands" day 08 Shanshu ridiculed more than one
