Chapter 39 National Day There are no recoilless guns and rocket artillery, and we even found five or six Soviet-style Simonov anti-tank guns more than two meters long in the *** box, which can be carried by two people.
This is the first time I have seen an anti-tank gun, let alone a fighter.
Although recoilless guns and rocket launchers are new weapons shipped from our country, they are no strangers to soldiers, because they have already seen and suffered countless losses on the battlefield against the US military, and have even captured and used them.
In the past, when they saw the US troops 'firing' incendiary shells at our positions with recoilless guns from a distance, and when they saw the US troops using rocket artillery to 'fire' incendiary bombs at our troops under the cover of tanks, they always gritted their teeth with hatred but were helpless. Sometimes, however, these weapons were captured, for example, when capturing enemy machine-gun positions. But every time it's done, *** is the only one to lose."
But this time, the fighters don't have to worry about this anymore! Because they know that now our own homeland will also produce these weapons. Artillery shells will be brought in from the rear supply lines. Although there are not many of them, 30 recoilless guns with 300 shells, 20 rocket launchers, 50 armor-piercing shells and 50 incendiary shells, we finally have a few weapons in our hands that can deal with enemy tanks and high-altitude machine guns from a distance!
Think about the old days, when fighting tanks, soldiers always had to use grenades, grenadiers, and explosives bags to run to the tank to blow up and pile up with human lives. Now this situation has finally been alleviated.
Early the next morning, the soldiers who had just been assigned to these recoilless guns and Bazooka rocket launchers spontaneously began to practice, only to see them follow the command to hold their weapons to the left and right to make various 'shooting' postures, occasionally stopping to listen to those soldiers who had used these weapons to talk about their experiences, and only envious of the other fighters who watched from the side.
"Commander, Commander!" During the break, a fighter excitedly ran up to me with a recoilless cannon in his arms: "Longer." You say this thing can hit tanks? ”
"Yes! Fight tanks, fight infantry, it's all good! I replied, "But comrades, you must pay attention!" When this recoilless cannon 'fires', it will spew out a long flame from behind, so before 'firing', you should see if there are any of your own people behind you to avoid accidentally injuring your comrades! And the flame of the recoilless gun is also easy to *** its own position. Remember to shift positions after firing a shell."
"Yes!" The soldier 'straightened' up, and then asked, "Commander, how far can this thing hit?"
"Two or three thousand meters." I am also a little hesitant about this question, after all, this is an imitation weapon, and the 'firing' range may not necessarily reach the 'firing' range of American equipment.
"It's two or three thousand meters!" When the soldier heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up: "Isn't the Yankee's tank still close to it?" Let's shoot one at a time, one at a time, and see how many tanks the Yankees can have,"
"Then you've got to hit it too." Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you can hit the enemy's tank a thousand meters away, I didn't say anything, our whole regiment of recoilless guns will be given to you!" ”
"I, it's useless for me to ask for so much, and the soldier's face turned red when I said this, which only caused the onlookers to laugh.
This also made me realize something. Although we have been equipped with long-range anti-tank weapons, and even some fighters have used them a few times, but the fighters still know very little about these weapons, and now there is no superfluous *** At the same time, they dare not carry out live-ammunition 'shooting' drills, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to play any role on the battlefield.
"Assemble! Gather! "While I was talking and laughing with the soldiers, suddenly one of the fighters ran out and shouted a rally while blowing a small trumpet.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, I am the head of this regiment, and I don't know anything if I have something to gather! Jiang 'Chun' added that if they have something to inform, they should tell me first! But thinking about it, I quickly understood that it must have been the new commissar who did it!
Commissar! When the guns don't go off, he's the biggest, and this regiment is up to him! So I thought, if I pull out my pistol and shoot it in the air now, is that it?"
With a little boring, I walked towards the gathering point with the flow of people. As expected, it was Li Pinghe's ghost, at this time he was pacing back and forth under a pine tree with his hands on his back, and when he saw me, he walked a few steps up to me and said, "Captain Cui." I didn't see you at the regiment headquarters just now, and I didn't have time to rush to tell you to gather the soldiers."
"If you want to have a meeting, let's have it! Don't ask me! I replied angrily, "But you have to hurry up and gather so many fighters, in case the enemy has a few planes flying or shooting a cannonball at us."
"Hmm!" Li Pinghe didn't seem to think of this. His face couldn't help but change.
I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, although Li Pinghe said that he had fought with the Kuomintang for several years, how could the equipment of the Kuomintang back then be compared with the current Yankees.
"Comrades!" Hearing this, Li Pinghe did not dare to slack off. Seeing that the warriors are almost here. He shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades, today is the third National Day of the People's Republic of China. Two years ago, our great leader, Chairman Mao, announced to the whole world today that the People's Republic of China was founded!
"Long live the peace of the Chinese people".
"Long live Chairman Mao!"
The fighters all raised their fists and cheered.
Listening to Li Pinghe's words, I realized that today is the National Day, and "I have just discovered that it has only been two years since the founding of the People's Republic of China."
Look behind Li Pinghe, on the thick trunk of a larch on the sunny side, I don't know who carved a large *** picture with a bayonet, with a few traditional Chinese characters: "Celebrate the National Day." "Then he painstakingly used multicolored stones to inlay white 'jade' Huabiao, red wall glazed tiles, red columns, red lanterns, national emblems, 'Mao' Chairman and so on.
"Comrades!" Li Pinghe took a step aside, pointed to the picture and said to the soldiers: "On this happy day of the National Day, let us once again read the oath of the Volunteer Army to our motherland, to the great leader 'Mao' Chairman "
As he spoke, he solemnly clenched his fists and raised his hands, taking the lead and saying: "We are the loyal sons of the Chinese people, and we are an armed group that carries out the political tasks of the proletariat. To defend the fruits of our victory, to defend our great Motherland. To defend peace in the East and the world, we voluntarily assist the Korean people to completely eliminate the US imperialist aggressors and liberate the whole of Korea. To this end, we solemnly swear: 1. Resolutely carry out the order, annihilate the enemy bravely, tenaciously and vigilantly, and complete all the remaining battles".
Li Pinghe read a sentence, and the soldiers followed it, but presumably these oath soldiers had already memorized it well, and then Li Pinghe didn't need to read it at all, and all the soldiers swore an oath together. But only I don't know the content of this vow. To the back, he just opened his mouth and followed awkwardly. It makes me feel like I'm overloaded.
We should resolutely implement the policy, strictly observe the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, unite the Korean people, and cherish every grass and tree of the Korean people.
3. Carry forward class fraternity and strengthen unity. Carry forward the style of hard work and overcome all difficulties. Fourth, heighten political vigilance and strictly guard military secrets. We have to forge ahead. Strive for the first place for the motherland, glory. Make great contributions to the people. We hereby swear to encourage each other, supervise each other, and strive for the realization of the great tasks given to us by the people of the motherland. ”
I have to admit that I have taken similar oaths in modern times, and I think there are two in my impressions. One time was when I was honored to join the Young Pioneers in elementary school, and the other time was when I was honored to join the Young Pioneers again in middle school, and I took the oath to the national flag when I was honored to join the League again, and I missed the third oath when I was in college."
At that time, the oath always made me feel 'hairy' and terrifying!
But now,
Looking at the soldiers' firm eyes, serious faces, and 'straight' waists. Listening to the neat, heartfelt voices of the soldiers, I can only use the word "shock" to describe my current mood. Undoubtedly. What I see and hear now is called the real oath!
"Comrades!" After taking the oath, Li Pinghe continued: "Today is the day when the Chinese nation announces to the whole world that we stand up. We must tell the people of the motherland with our actions. We have always kept our oath and stuck to our posts in the fight against the reactionaries! We want to use victory as a gift to the National Day and report to Chairman Mao! ”
"Long live the People's Republic of China".
"Long live Chairman Mao!"
The warriors tirelessly shouted over and over again. The shouts crossed the valley and broke through the clouds. The soldiers stationed on other heights also responded, and suddenly under the fiery red sun and maple leaves, there was a burst of cheers, and the soldiers' will to fight became unprecedentedly high with the cheers.
This scene can't help but make my blood boil. I am deeply proud to be one of them, and proud to be a Chinese volunteer soldier!
"Woo" Before the shout fell, the whistling of cannonballs sounded in the air. With an order, the soldiers quickly divided into several units and drilled into the tunnel.
Our shouts eventually alarmed the American troops, but fortunately our position was not far from the tunnel, and the soldiers were all well-trained, and as soon as they heard the sound of artillery, they methodically lined up in an orderly line to drill into the tunnel, so they did not suffer many casualties. Only three or four fighters rushed into the tunnel and were hit by shrapnel, and they were also rushed into the tunnel by other fighters.
At first, I thought that the U.S. military would still shoot a cold cannon as usual and pull it down, but after more than 20 minutes, the sound of the artillery did not stop, and then I slowly realized that this was the U.S. military about to start attacking. These Yankees will also choose a day, and if they don't, they will choose to attack on our National Day. Maybe they want to use this day to hit our morale hard! It's just that they would never have imagined that the volunteers fought with a kind of 'spirit' and courage. First to fight small Japan, and then to fight the Kuomintang. After more than ten years of fighting, the volunteers have long been trained to have extraordinary tenacity and endurance.
"Peng!" At this time, suddenly a log above his head was shaken off by a cannonball, and a soldier was smashed on the spot and blood was splattered everywhere" Several soldiers next to him hurriedly moved the log to dig the soldier out of the soil and called the hygienist to rescue him" This is a normal thing for people like us who are used to hiding in the tunnel, as long as any soldier does not firmly support and nail the log above his head when building the tunnel, it is very likely that this situation will occur, so I didn't take it to heart.
But sitting on my hand just peaceful is not, like that. At this time, he was already in a cold sweat, and his 'chest' was rising and falling. His eyes kept looking at the logs on the top of the tunnel, and then at the other warriors beside him.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh secretly, what is the use of fighting the Kuomintang for two years? When you fought the Kuomintang, you didn't avoid such a pit! When fighting the Kuomintang, there was no such fierce and long-term bombing! If this guy thinks that our current face-to-face enemy is still as easy to fight as the Kuomintang back then. Then you are very wrong.
However, this kid really has a set of ideological work, thinking of the meeting that Li Pinghe held just now, it was only ten minutes, and it seemed to push the fighters' *** to a high 'tide'. Anyway, I'm the most afraid of meetings and experiences, and I can save a lot of trouble by having him in the future. And "it seems that he is right, it is indeed his duty to interrogate me in the first place, my problem is true, even if there is no him, there will still be someone else to interrogate."
Thinking of this, I squatted up, took the kettle hanging from my waist and handed it to him. When he took the pot, he realized that it was me, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly nodded at me to express his gratitude. Then he brought the pot to his lips and took a few sips. When he was done, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth,
Depend on! I read that right! It's really a handkerchief, this guy looks like he's fought for two years, and he's still out of an advanced step school! This guy is simply, alas! I don't know what to say about him anymore.
There was another thud, and the dirt on the top of the fork fell slightly down the gap between the logs. Li Pinghe nervously raised his head and glanced up, his hands seemed to want to make a gesture of holding his head. But seeing that I was still sitting motionless and steady in front of me, I couldn't help but blush. I hurriedly pretended to be thirsty, raised my head and took a few more sips, then screwed on the lid of the kettle and handed it back to me.
I saw his lips move, although the cannon was very loud and I didn't hear what he was saying, but I knew that he was saying thank you, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, there are really few people like him on the battlefield who are so polite and hygienic.
Nearly an hour passed under the earth-shattering sound of cannons, and the outside world gradually calmed down. Take the soldiers out of the tunnel and take a look. Where are there any fortifications! The trenches and bunkers were all blown up, and only a few small ditches could prove that they had ever existed. The trees, dirt and rocks were all blown into powder and 'mixed' together. The whole position is as soft as a vegetable patch that has just been turned over.
Even the Gongzhuo built on the anticline is the same,"
Anyway, it's not that the anticline fortifications don't work. It's just that the high ground is too low and too steep. This allowed enemy shells to easily fall on our anticline fortifications. Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly complain, the US army's attacks have always been about coordination, although the coastline here is relatively far away, the enemy's navy does not play a role, but there are no trees, no cover, as soon as the enemy planes come,"
"Immediately enter the position and build fortifications!" I gave the order with some reluctance, although it seemed that the fortifications were still waiting to be bombed. But you can exchange a few 'sex' lives with a little bit of strength. That's worth it anyway.
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and without saying a word, they got out of the tunnel and climbed to the top of the mountain, and raised their sapper shovels to dig.
The soil was so soft that it was easy to dig up, and it didn't take long for it to take shape, but anyone knew that it wasn't enough, because the soil was soft and easy to dig, which meant that the bullet could penetrate it and hit the soldiers.
Not waiting for the fighters to dig the trenches. There was a "rumbling" sound of tank motors in front of the position, and I hurriedly pulled Li Pinghe, who was still standing and commanding in a daze, to lie down in the trench. The soldiers were all veterans who had 'befriended' the Yankees, and they all hid in the trenches like me and continued to dig.
Looking at Li Pinghe's face with a look of incomprehension, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Political Commissar Li, this Yankee is no better than the Kuomintang, the Kuomintang's guns can't shoot far, and this Yankee's high-altitude 'fire' machine gun can hit two or three thousand meters!" Don't look at the enemy so far away, this edge hits, you're all a sieve, and you haven't seen the enemy's shadow yet."
Before the words fell, the other side said, "Bang Bang." Pieces of bullets came from the ground, and Li Pinghe was stunned.
Taking advantage of the interval between the enemy's gunfire, I put my rifle on my rack and looked at the enemy through the binoculars, and I couldn't help but say "Huh"!
"What's wrong?" Li Pinghe also curiously stretched out his binoculars to look at the enemy, and at a glance, his face couldn't help but change, and he said in a low voice: "So many heavy tanks,"
I couldn't help but almost laugh out loud when I heard this: "Political Commissar Li, these tanks are not many, but there are only about 20 of them, and most of them are Churchill infantry tanks, which is compared to the Kuomintang's commonly used "Xia Fei, tanks can indeed be regarded as heavy."
Hearing this, Li Pinghe couldn't help but blush. Awkwardly pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Then you just now."
"I was surprised just now." I pressed my gaze back to the scope and replied solemnly, "That's because we're the enemy in front of us." It is the most combat-ready British army on the Korean battlefield! ”
Although the enemy has not yet been seen, the "Churchill" infantry tank and the "Captain of the Centenarian." heavy tanks, I was already sure that they were the most difficult British army.
"Hmm! Looks like I'm in luck! Li Pinghe's slow and methodical answer almost made me vomit blood,,
