After confronting the US military in the tunnel for several days, we always sneaked out to attack when the US military was not paying attention and was not vigilant. This only made the U.S. troops stationed on the surface positions restless day and night, and suffered heavy casualties under our sneak attacks. Because they can't successfully block our tunnel mouth during the day, we may 'touch' out of any of these tunnel openings at night. These tunnel openings are distributed in every direction on the high ground, and there are three layers: upper, middle and lower, which means that our army can sneak attack from any direction and any direction. This makes the US military defenseless, and it seems that there are leaks everywhere and there are needs to be replenished everywhere......

The U.S. military was obviously not accustomed to this kind of warfare, although they had built similar fortifications before, especially in the trench warfare of World War I, and the tunnel fortifications also had a variety of perfect functions. For example, the side house, the *** library, the burial room, etc...... But at that time, most of the functions of the tunnels were to prevent the enemy's shelling, and wherever it is like now, it was directly used for combat.

Westerners may just not be good at thinking and creating in this area, they are always accustomed to using their modern equipment to deal with us, and they always think that the reason why they can't deal with us is because their weapons and equipment are not advanced enough. So they used almost all the equipment they could use.

To stop us from going out, they used mines, barbed wire, but these obviously didn't work. After fighting with the U.S. army for so long, the volunteers have more or less some knowledge of anti-landmines, and they have never eaten pig 'meat' and have seen pigs walking! What's more, there is no shortage of Wang Xianru-style demining masters in the Eighth Company, and there will be no problem as long as you bring one or two such masters with you every time you attack. On the contrary, the U.S. military relaxed its vigilance because of the mines, and one night we were able to make two successful sneak attacks in a row, only at the cost of five casualties in exchange for more than 70 enemy casualties.

As for the barbed wire, it is even less worth mentioning. Later, they even used a forklift converted from "Sherman" to drive up a road and bury the lower pit mouths. Although this has played a certain role, because our army's tunnel mouth is much less, the air in the tunnel is becoming more and more scarce, and the range of activities is also shrinking, but it has also added a lot of variables to the US military.

Because the outside of the pit mouth is blocked, we can dig it inside. In addition, the mouth of the tunnel was written by the US military, and nothing could be seen from the outside, and after a day or two, the US military would forget that there was a tunnel mouth here. But we can dig it out to a thin layer of dirt, and at night, with a wave of the shovel, we can sneak out of this unexpected place for the enemy. Sometimes, in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, we even consciously re-plugged the mouth of the tunnel when we returned.

In order to destroy our tunnel mouth, the weapons used by the US military are also gradually escalating, and the explosive "medicine" bags and grenades are soon not used, followed by the wild bombardment of recoilless guns and mortars, and after little success, even planes were dispatched to dive and bomb. However, it is conceivable that no matter how good the US pilots are, it will be difficult for them to 'precisely' drop bombs into the mouth of the tunnel that only one person can get into on that high-speed plane. The soldiers looked at the planes flying outside, and from time to time they made harsh noises and dive bombing, and they didn't hide at all, just as a good show to watch when they were bored guarding the tunnel.

This is not a difficult situation, and I believe that the previous efforts on Shangganling are still effective.

Because the second phase of the Shangganling Battle was the most difficult stage in history, after retreating to the tunnel, the soldiers in the tunnel were almost completely cut off from supplies. In terms of food, it is good to say, there is such a thing as starvation, and the volunteer soldiers have suffered a lot, and in the most difficult time, they have half a steamed bun every day, and they will not starve to death. However, the lack of water is really a big problem, and it is said that in the later stage, even the 'urine' can only be drunk by the wounded.

In the historical battle of Shangganling, I don't know how many logistics commanders and fighters sacrificed themselves on the blockade line of the US army in order to send a little water to Shangganling. But this biggest difficulty was easily solved because of the water storage in the invincible tunnel.

The second is the construction of tunnels, in the history of the 597.9 highland, there are a total of three large tunnels, eight small tunnels and more than 30 simple anti-artillery 'holes'. The main tunnel is the No. 1 tunnel, located under the No. 1 position, and it is also the longest and largest tunnel, with two tunnel entrances, with a total length of nearly 80 meters, but these dozen tunnels have not been opened to each other.

However, because I had enough time to prepare, I opened these tunnels to each other, and even connected the two highlands. In addition, more than a dozen tunnels of various sizes were added, and I also paid great attention to the cover and support between the tunnel entrances when constructing the tunnels. As a result, even though the US military has powerful modern equipment, it is helpless against us, and on the contrary, it has been hit by our nighttime 'riots' and suffered heavy losses.

Sweating more before the war and shedding less blood during the war, this sentence has been fully verified in the two highlands of Shangganling.

But I also know very well that the US military will not let us live in the tunnels so easily. For a day when they don't completely wipe us out, they won't dare to launch an attack on the Five Holy Mountains for a day, and we can also cooperate with the troops in the rear to launch a counterattack at any time. This is a great threat to the US military, so if the tunnel is not cleared, the US military will not be able to live in peace.

"Chief of Staff" I was thinking about it, Miao Huaizhi was covered in dust, and hurriedly ran into the headquarters and shouted: "Chief of Staff, let's go up and attack again......

"What's the hurry?" Looking at Miao Huaizhi's appearance, Instructor Qin couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "We haven't gone up to attack one day, and we haven't won one or two battles one or two days?" Do you need to be so happy? ”

"No...... No! "Being interrupted by Qin's guidance, Miao Huaizhi 'touched' his head, this and that for a while, but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly!" I couldn't help but smile and handed Miao Huaizhi a glass of water, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Win the battle, right!" How many Yankees did you fight tonight? ”

"Thirty-five hits...... No, it's not! ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong!" Hearing this, Instructor Qin couldn't help frowning: "You can fight as much as you want, do you still want to lie about your success?" ”

"No, it's not ......" When Instructor Qin said this, Miao Huaizhi couldn't help but blush, and after a while, as if he remembered something, he took out a few bloodstained epaulettes from his pocket and put them on the table and said: "Chief of Staff, instructor, this is what we tore off from tonight's enemy, take a look at yourself!" ”

"Well, it's a puppet army!" Picking up the epaulettes on the table and looking at them, I understood what Miao Huaizhi wanted to say: "The enemy I encountered tonight is a puppet army?" ”

"Yes!" Miao Huaizhi seemed to be relieved, nodded his head lightly and said: "At night, we defeated thirty-five enemies, and it was dark at first. ”

"What about the Yankees?" Commander Qin couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Did you see the Yankees on the position?" ”

"I didn't see it!" Miao Huaizhi shook his head.

"Chief of Staff!" Director Qin turned to me and said, "So the Yankees have withdrawn and replaced the puppet army!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

It has long been no secret that the US military has always refrained from cooperating with the puppet army. Although sometimes the U.S. military likes to let the puppet army take the lead, sometimes it will also let the puppet army take on tasks such as demining, guiding, and translation. However, there will basically be no 'mixed' cooperative warfare among combat units. Therefore, the appearance of a puppet army on this high ground is to tell us that the US army has 'handed over' its position to the puppet army.

"Great!" Instructor Qin slammed his palm with his fist and said excitedly: "The US imperialists finally can't resist retreating, they finally bow their heads in front of the stubborn perseverance of the fighters and admit defeat, and we are finally victorious!" Chief of Staff, this is great news! I think we should report this good news to the regimental headquarters immediately, you mean......"

I nodded and approved Commander Qin's request.

Of course, I have to report to my superiors if there is a situation, and I have no reason to stop this. Merely...... I am not as optimistic as Instructor Qin and the soldiers.

With my permission, Instructor Qin grabbed the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Commander Zhang.

"Hmmm! It's true, we're not mistaken! ”

"It's confirmed, the fighter who just went up to sneak attack also tore off the enemy's epaulettes! It's a puppet army! ”

"Uh-huh, well!"

Then Instructor Qin listened to the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Commander Zhang wants me to tell all the soldiers who are sticking to the tunnel that under your tenacious struggle and hard work, we have finally defeated US imperialism and won the initial victory of the campaign. Your success and victory were of great significance in the Korean War! ”

As soon as Instructor Qin's words fell, there was a cheer around the headquarters, and the entire tunnel was boiling. All the fighters were shouting, jumping, laughing, some with rifles, some clenching their fists, some clapping desperately......

But I wasn't the only one who didn't laugh or scream. Because I know that the battle of Shangganling will not end so easily, and our struggle in the tunnel will continue, and it will even be more difficult than before.

The answer is simple, the Yankees are accustomed to using modern equipment and rely too much on the weapons in their hands, but this is not the case with the puppet army. The predecessor of the puppet army was a unit under the rule of the Japanese army, and its equipment was also relatively backward. Later, although they trained under the US military, the US military was unwilling to improve the equipment of the puppet army in order to maintain the balance of force between the north and the south of the Korean Peninsula. This is also the reason why the KPA was able to drive straight into the Korean War with only a few dozen T-34 tanks.

Although after the start of the war, the US military also invested a lot of modern equipment in the puppet army units, but after all, time is limited, and they have not formed much dependence on these equipment.

Therefore, I think that if the US military continues to garrison Shangganling, it may still be a good thing for us.

But the fighters clearly think differently from mine, and even the superiors think the same way, as can be seen from the fact that they are happy to be like this now. After all, the volunteer soldiers who have 'engaged' with the United Nations know that the combat effectiveness of the puppet army on the battlefield is far from that of the US army, so that in every battle, our army picks the soft persimmon of the puppet army to pinch, so naturally they will not be taken into account this time.

I frowned, trying to say something to the fighters, but I swallowed the words from the excitement of the fighters.

Because I know that if there is something that everyone agrees with, no matter how much I explain it, it is useless. Maybe they will be willing to listen to me and nod their heads, but they will not agree in their hearts and will not be wary in their actions.

After thinking about it, I shouted, "All of them!" What is there to be happy about, we are still in the tunnel, and the enemy is still on top of us, so we are happy to be like this? Give me all the rest and prepare for tomorrow's enemy attack on the tunnel, and no one is allowed to be sloppy! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded, but they did not dare to disobey, and they all returned to their respective tunnels with a "excited" "color" on their faces.

I can't explain it, I just have to pour cold water, I've always been good at this!

"Chief of Staff!" After the soldiers dispersed, Instructor Qin handed me a cigarette and said, "Why are you still unhappy?" The ace unit of the US army was defeated by us, and this is a great victory for us! ”

"Instructor Qin......" I took the cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and said: "The U.S. military is good at aircraft, tanks, and artillery, and our tunnels are used to deal with aircraft, tanks, and artillery, so the U.S. military has no way to deal with us." But the puppet army is not, so I'm worried about ......"

"Is the chief of staff worried that the puppet army will cause more damage to our tunnels?" Instructor Qin smiled disapprovingly: "Is the chief of staff thinking too much, the ace troops of the US army can't do anything about us, what can those puppet troops do to us?" ”

"Not necessarily!" I replied, "The Yankees are Caucasian, and they don't think the same way we do." But the puppet army is the same yellow race as us, the same Asian, and even inextricably linked with our China, so the thinking and creation of the puppet army are very similar to ours, and we can't take it lightly! ”

Instructor Qin is also a strategic person, although he still doesn't believe it very much, he still nodded and said: "What the chief of staff said is also reasonable, we haven't achieved the final victory yet, and we can't underestimate the enemy too much, otherwise we are very likely to suffer!" ”

"So be it!" After pondering for a while, Commander Qin suggested, "Or?" I asked a few people to inspect the tunnels overnight, supervise the rest of the fighters, and prepare for battle! ”

"It's good!" I quickly agreed to Instructor Qin's plan. Although there was no way to convince the warriors, it was necessary to get them to prepare in advance.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next day, I was awakened by the sound of gunshots coming from the tunnel.

Originally, there was no need for me, the chief of staff, to go out to see the situation at this time, but as soon as I thought that today was the first day that the puppet army had entered the position, I immediately turned over and sat up from the 'bed', grabbed my rifle and ran in the direction of the mouth of the tunnel.

"How's it going?" As soon as I got to the mouth of the pit, I casually asked.

"Chief of Staff!" The soldier next to him turned around and shouted, and I realized that it was Gao Yongxiang.

"Report to the Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang replied excitedly: "The puppet army is much easier to fight than the Yankees!" One by one, they were running towards the mouth of our pit with their guns, didn't they? After just such a while, we knocked down a dozen of them! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be surprised that what I feared didn't happen.

But after thinking about it, I quickly understood that these puppet troops had just come up, and they were not familiar with the terrain and situation. After a while, when they understand the difficulty of attacking the tunnel, they will use their own methods to attack the tunnel.

To be honest, I'd love to know what they'll come up with to attack the tunnel.

Sure enough, after a while, the gunfire gradually subsided. A soldier lying on the corner of the tunnel happily reported: "The enemy has retreated, perhaps because we are afraid of it!" ”

"Be vigilant and don't underestimate the enemy!" I reprimanded.

"Yes!" The two warriors answered, and focused their attention on the outside of the tunnel.

Time passed minute by minute, and nothing happened. A few hours passed, and the fighters lying at the mouth of the pit changed batch after batch, but the puppet army did not make any move.

The soldiers were laughing at the puppet army for not fighting, and they all said that the puppet army was afraid of a few people who had just died, and they would never dare to attack again. But I know that's not the case. It is true that the puppet army is afraid of death, but often the more people are afraid of death, the more they will come up with some crooked and evil ways. They should be trying to figure out a way now!

It turned out that my worries were not unnecessary, and just as I was waiting to lose my patience, the two warriors lying at the mouth of the pit suddenly raised their heads and looked above the mouth of the pit in dismay. Before I could understand what was going on, I heard a loud bang, and a violent shock 'wave' pushed several of Kao's fighters around the corner, including me, into the depths of the tunnel......

The dust was everywhere, the smoke was filled, and I was stunned by the explosion. It is not even known whether the explosion was caused by a pack of explosives, a grenade or an artillery shell. But one thing is clear, and that is that the explosion occurred inside our tunnel, and the location of the explosion was right next to us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been pushed so far by the shock wave. The two warriors lying under the tunnel......

That's right, those two warriors! Thinking of this, I got up and turned over and ran towards the mouth of the pit, but I didn't run a few steps before I stopped involuntarily. In the thick smoke and dust, the corner of the tunnel was already a blur of flesh and blood, and the two soldiers had no chance of living.
