"Poison Bombardment"

On this day, I was idle and had nothing to do, so I was knocking stones with the soldiers in the tunnel, when suddenly there was a sound of bombardment outside, which shook the tunnel with a muffled buzzing sound.

The soldiers were already familiar with such things, but they only glanced slightly towards the mouth of the pit and continued to do their work.

"Beat another Yankee!" Zhang Xiaoxiao grinned: "I don't know which comrade did it, the Yankees have been tossed enough by our cold-gun troops during this time!" "I guess it's the second shift!" Chen Han smashed a stone with a hammer: "Listening to this cannon sound, it seems to come from the direction of the mountain." ”

"Captain Cui!" Zhang Xiaoxiao picked up a stone and threw it into a box made of shell boxes, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and said: "The three squads of our cold gun unit, let alone hundreds of Yankees during this time!" Tell us which class played the most! ”

"Hmm! We haven't counted that! "I swung my hammer and smashed the blade with a clang. One side replied with some embarrassment: "This is the matter! You also have to ask Chief of Staff Wang, he has always been doing things to count the results of the battle. ”

"It doesn't matter which class he does!" Chen Han said with a smile: "Anyway, the Yankees can't eat well during the day, and they can't sleep well at night!" I heard that the young masters and soldiers of the Yankees are all coquettish, and if they continue to toss like this, maybe it won't be our turn to fight, and they will all go back to their hometowns! ”

With a coax, all the soldiers in the tunnel laughed, and the work in their hands seemed to be getting harder and harder.

As the fighters say, the U.S. military has nothing to do with our cold-gun tactics for the time being. A large part of this is due to the fact that their advantage was too obvious.

Before the cold guns and cold artillery transportation were launched, the US military completely occupied the initiative on the surface position, and the battlefield presented a one-sided situation. Although there has not been a positional offensive and defensive battle between the two sides for the time being due to negotiations, and the battle line is quite stable, the inferior firepower and equipment of our army on the surface position at that time were fully reflected.

But there is a saying that "there is a good and a bad one". It is precisely because the U.S. military occupies such a big advantage during this period that they are very bold in the construction of fortifications and the selection of camps. Some U.S. troops even set up tents where they slept on top of a hill that the volunteers could observe. In addition, the U.S. military is always accustomed to building fortifications on a positive slope, which gives our army a great opportunity to fight cold guns.

The soldiers basically mastered the laws of the U.S. military's operations, and they always took advantage of the fact that the target was too ***, lurking near the mouth of the tunnel, and after eliminating an enemy, they ran back to the tunnel as fast as possible, and the enemy's subsequent artillery fire could not cause any casualties to the fighters at all. This also made the cold gun troops very successful during this time. Some fighters even struck in succession, knocking out a dozen enemies in the space of a day.

However, the battlefield is like a big school, and both sides of the 'warring' war will learn and grow in this military school. The same is true of the American troops, who quickly discovered the crux of the problem, and then they have the right to withdraw from the positive slope, moving all the fortifications, camps, etc., back to the reverse slope.

This change in the US military soon put our army's cold-gun units to a new test. The most immediate is a significant reduction in targets. The second is that the U.S. troops are all hiding in anti-slope fortifications or relatively hidden places, and if we continue to shoot cold, we will no longer be lurking near the mouth of the tunnel as before. In order to block the 'crossing' line between the enemy's two hills, some fighters even had to lurk on the slope away from the tunnel.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the danger of the soldiers firing cold shots, so that the inevitable casualties were gathered",

"Captain Cui!" I was thinking about it when Wang Yuehan suddenly appeared at the mouth of the pit covered in blood.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, but soon understood something, dropped the hammer and needle in my hand and turned around and ran out of the tunnel.

"It's Zhang Mancheng from the second class!" Wang Yuehan said to me as he ran: "He and Wu Deshui were lurking on the slope of the mountain range, and after defeating an enemy, they were attacked by enemy artillery before they could retreat in a hurry

Before we could finish speaking, we had run into the tunnel. The tunnel was already crowded with soldiers from the cold-gun unit. The trail was filled with shocking blood, and the smell of blood filled the entire tunnel. I hurriedly separated the fighters and ran in. Zhang Mancheng, covered in blood, appeared in front of me, his nose, mouth, and ears covered in disguise. Blood seeped out everywhere, mud and blood 'mixed'. I couldn't see his painful expression clearly,

"Hygienist! Hygienist! I pulled the soldier with the first aid kit on his shoulder: "Why not first aid!" Why hasn't the wound been bandaged yet! ”

"Regiment, regiment commander" said in a choked voice of the health worker: "Comrade Zhang Mancheng has sacrificed!" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and after a long while, I sighed and said, "Bury him!" ”

The warrior in the pit silently looked at the corpse on the ground, and after a long while, the hygienist carried him out",

"Hit those ***!"

"That's right! Go to avenge Comrade Zhang Mancheng! ”

"Come back!" Several of the fighters picked up their guns and were about to head out of the tunnel, but I was quickly stopped.

"Commander". Yang Zhenshan held up his gun unconvinced and shouted: "We are going to avenge Comrade Zhang Mancheng and find those *** to settle accounts!" ”

"How do you usually practice!" With a 'Mao' reprimand' mouth, he shouted at the ten wars! "Heavy, calm, and patient, guess where Takeri went? Is it good enough to be cold like you? If you go out like this, you can also avenge Comrade Zhang Mancheng? It's better to go out and let those Yankee shells blow up into a few pieces and pull them down! ”

The tunnel fell silent for a moment.

"Wu Deshui!" I remember what Wang Yuehan said. He went out in the same group as Zhang Mancheng.

"Here!" Soon a warrior with blood on his back stepped forward.

"What's the situation?"

"I don't know!" Wu Deshui shook his head and said, "Let's defeat an enemy." The net was about to retreat, and the enemy's artillery fire came, and it took almost a minute before and after. ”

"Mortar?"

"Not a mortar!" Wu Deshui shook his head and said: "It's the enemy's long-range artillery, large-caliber, there are not many shells, only six or seven rounds in a round, but it's too accurate, and the shells are all near the hiding place of the two of us!" ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, it was only a minute before and after?

Although the US military's communications facilities are advanced. But a minute is too fast! Even if they have artillery observers at the front, then at least the artillery will have to be informed, and then the artillery will have to adjust the angle, and then there will be time to 'fire' the shells, right?

No matter how fast it is, it can't be done in a minute."

"Don't go to dangerous areas for now!" I ordered the soldiers: "Only one group of team members will be arranged for each position, and it must be near the mouth of the tunnel, and the rest of the team will rest temporarily!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors 'stood up' in response.

Returned to command with a heavy heart. As soon as I s***, I sat down on the stool and stared blankly at the map. "Captain!" Wang Yuehan handed me a glass of water.

"Hmm!" I nodded, took the teacup and put it on the table, and asked casually, "Chief of Staff Wang, how many casualties have we suffered?" ”

"Including Comrade Zhang Mancheng, a total of five were sacrificed and one was seriously injured!" Wang Yuehan replied.

"Chat about the results"

"Recently, the enemy has been hiding deeply!" Wang Yuehan hesitated and said: "The soldiers sometimes lurk in the position for a whole day without yielding anything, so the results of the battle

"The results are getting fewer and fewer, but the casualties are getting bigger and bigger!" I couldn't help but sigh when I heard this, this has always been my headache these days.

"Captain Cui! The same cannot be said! Hearing this, Wang Yuehan objected: "Although our casualties are greater now than before, and the results of the battle are indeed smaller. But we've succeeded in achieving our strategic goals, haven't we? At least the enemy has been 'forced' from the positive slope to the reverse slope, and the enemy does not dare to build a machine-gun position on the top of the hill to blockade our position. The space for the fighters has been greatly expanded, and they can also carry logs from outside the tunnel, which is very beneficial for us to build the tunnel fortifications! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, knowing that what Wang Yuehan said made sense.

In fact, that's what we're shooting for. Now that the enemy is retreating from the positive slope to the reverse slope, it will naturally become more and more difficult to shoot cold shots, and it is also common sense that the results of the battle will be reduced and the casualties will be increased.

It's just that

"The speed of the enemy *** is a little strange!" I frowned and said, "How could they 'fire' shells at the designated place in a minute!" ”

"I'm surprised by this, too!" After thinking about it, Wang Yuehan hesitated and said, "Could it be that they have already adjusted Zhuyuan?"

"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! "I understood when Wang Yuehan reminded me like this. Isn't it true that our volunteers are also on the anti-inclined fortifications, and they have adjusted the Zhuyuan in advance to the designated place on the positive slope, so that they can hit the enemy without adjusting when the enemy attacks? Unexpectedly, this trick was learned by the enemy, and it was still used with long-range heavy artillery.

It's no wonder that they now only shoot six or seven rounds a round, and presumably they divide the artillery evenly, control an area every six or seven 'guns', and then number these areas. If you spot an area with enemy snipers, simply quote the number of those areas. The artillery did not need to make any action at all to 'fire' shells at the designated place at the fastest speed.

"These Yankees are really good!" I couldn't help but smile, as the saying goes, the road is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high, and no matter what new tactics appear on the battlefield, the other party will quickly find a corresponding solution and come up with new tactics to counteract.

"Commander, let's do it now" Wang Yuehan seemed to understand the truth, and a look of embarrassment soon appeared in his eyes: "If the Yankees continue to fight like this, our war situation will make no progress,"

I understand what Wang Yuehan meant, in this situation, it is difficult for the soldiers to come out and shoot a shot, because every area on our position will be under the control of the US artillery fire, and it is almost a situation where a shot is certain to die. Under such circumstances, it is very likely that the US troops will re-emerge from the anti-slope and once again completely block the positions of our troops with high-altitude 'fire' machine guns and other firepower on the hilltops.

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff Wang!" I smiled and said, "Do you know why the enemy finds our position as soon as we shoot?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan nodded and said, "It's because of the smoke that came out after the shooting!" ”

"That's right!" I nodded: "The fighters are well hidden, but as soon as they shoot, they will be ***, and the enemy will know our position before they can 'fire' shells at the corresponding area, but if the enemy does not know."

"Don't know where we are?" Hearing this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but say suspiciously: "How is that possible!" The scorched earth of the green smoke is too obvious, how can it not be discovered by the enemy? ”

"So we're going to wait!" Saying that, I immediately ordered Wang Yuehan: "Pass the order down." Seeing that the enemy has re-arranged a machine-gun array on the top of the hill to blockade our army's hilltop position, we must not act rashly and do not rush to drive them down. All future cold-gun operations must be carried out in the dead corners of the enemy's artillery fire on the anti-slope plane until I have a new order! ”

"Yes!" Although Li Yuehan didn't know what kind of 'medicine' I was selling in my gourd, he still firmly carried out my order, turned around and walked out of the tunnel.

The ensuing battle situation was as we had imagined, and the enemy, under the control and cover of artillery fire, gradually returned to the top position. At first, a few 'strong' machine guns were set up on the top of the hill to 'straf' our position, and then a few wooden men wearing hats were used to pretend to hang out on the top of the hill to attract us to shoot. Later, when we found that we were not moving, we deliberately piled up high sandbags on the top of the hill and set up a few 'strong' machine guns.

"According to the soldiers' observations" Wang Yuehan drew a few circles on the map and said: "The enemy's machine gun position is here, here, and here, just added another one in front of the mountain range, judging by their intentions, it is obvious that they want to cut off the high ground and the blade?" The connection between the highlands! ”

"Hmmm! Not bad! I nodded: "The terrain in the mountain area is lower than the enemy's position, the area under enemy fire is too large, and it is also very close to the enemy, and the US army's additional machine gun positions in the mountain area will indeed increase the difficulty of communication between our two highlands!" ”

"Then we" Wang Yuehan said with some hesitation: "Our army's communication equipment is insufficient, if the enemy cuts off the connection between these two highlands." When our coordinated operations can have a big impact on whether we should or not

"Aren't there telephones in the two highlands? Can you connect to a phone line?

"Connected to the phone line?" Hearing this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but look at me suspiciously and said, "Regiment Commander, we only have one telephone, and we can't connect to the headquarters if we connect to the telephone line!" ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. Only then did I understand that the phones used by the soldiers at this time were still one-line telephones. If you connect to one place, you can't connect to another. I'll just say it. Usually, our two highlands convey orders with correspondents running around, so why don't we connect a telephone line? It turns out that this is the reason.

"Then don't contact us for the time being!" After thinking about it, I ordered: "'Hand' over the command of the 7th Heights to the headquarters, and let Company Commander Wang report any problems to the headquarters by phone!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan hesitated, but finally agreed.

I know what he is hesitating, the volunteer army has always been famous for fighting tough battles and fighting evil battles, which unit is not heroic on the battlefield and does not back down from the enemy's attack. But now my orders seem to be too weak.

"Commander! Is the head of the regiment absent? ”

"Here, the regiment commander is discussing things with Chief of Staff Wang! Wait, you can't go in."

Before the words fell, I saw Hu Zudi and Yang Zhenrang two people breaking in from outside the tunnel in a hurry. They were followed by two guards, Zhang and Xu, who were not in a hurry to stop them.

"Captain!" Yang Zhenshan took off his hat as soon as he walked in. Annoyed, he said, "I, I can't figure it out!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Before I could open my mouth, Wang Yuehan scolded: "Look at the two of you, there is no organizational discipline at all, and the command headquarters is also 'messy' by you?" Seeing the head of the regiment and not saluting? Where is there still the appearance of *** soldiers! ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhenshan and Hu Zudi reluctantly saluted me, even though they were wearing various disguises, I could easily see the dissatisfaction in their hearts. "What's not to figure out?" I handed them two cigarettes and didn't care about their disrespectful behavior. Soldiers! It's not all like that, straight to the point.

Yang Zhenshan lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said: "Commander, this enemy has climbed to the top of the mountain again, and our soldiers can't get out of the pit like before, and you still order us not to act rashly?" Is this how those devils are prestigious? I, I can't figure it out! ”

"Yes! Head! Hu Zudi continued: "We are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but we are afraid that we will not be able to lose that person, and the soldiers are staring at us!" Isn't that what our cold-gun troops are doing? Now the enemy has come up and will not be allowed to fight. So what do we need to do? ”

"Did I say I wouldn't fight? It's just not time yet

"How long will that be?" Yang Zhenshan said anxiously: "The soldiers are all panicking! ”

Coincidentally, at this time, Zhang Mingxue ran in from outside in three steps and shouted excitedly: "Commander, it's snowing, it's snowing!" ”

"Let's go back and prepare!" Hearing this, I smiled and patted Yang Zhenzhi. and Hu Zudi's shoulder said: "Rest well for two days, it's time for us to beat the American devils back!" ”

"Yes!" Although they still didn't know what to do, Yang and Hu still saluted me excitedly. Turned and walked out of the pit. Yi Xunshu is a fine concave and said that Xunshan is a different body clam
