Chapter XXXIII

"But in general. You've done a pretty good job in the Knife Master's mission this time! Then Master Pang nodded approvingly at me and said, "Although you didn't make any outstanding contributions to the experience of the damage tunnel, you assisted the knife master in forming a cold gun unit, and you also fought a few beautiful battles. It's also a satisfactory answer."

"Wrong! That's not right! Master Wang disagreed: "Comrade Xiao Cui is still of great help to us in imparting the experience of tunnels!" Now our entire division, and even the whole army, know the meaning and method of using tunnels to fight the enemy! Master Pang, don't be presumptuous! ”

"Master Wang, don't praise this kid!" Master Pang couldn't help but smile and said: "Teaching the experience of tunnel operations is all done by the soldiers of the 8th Regiment of 'Medicine', how can he have his credit?" I heard that this guy was talking about the highlands and the 7 highlands, directing the soldiers to dig one pit after another, and he had no experience at all. He also opened a blacksmith furnace, and also 'made' explosives and 'medicine' to blow up. As a result, the soldiers on these two heights have not learned anything, and they can only dig tunnels. I heard that an invincible pit was dug recently, "big enough to fit 200 people, and the water and food stored in it are enough for more than 200 people to eat for a month." You said that we are here to fight, and we are not hiding from the enemy, so we can defend ourselves in the tunnel! What's the use of tossing so much, doing so much?

"Master Pang, this" I couldn't help but want to explain when I heard this, but I didn't know how to say it with one mouth.

Do I still have to tell him that I know that in a few months from the Battle of Shangganling, our army will be trapped in the tunnels and suffer heavy losses because of the lack of water and food? If you say that, I'm just afraid that Master Wang and Master Pang are not like me, and it's strange that I'm crazy.

"Alright, alright. I don't blame you for anything! Master Pang smiled: "This is Master Wang's good temper. Trust you, whatever you toss in those two heights, if it were me! Tell you to stop in two and a half seconds, which is almost tossing the warriors and miners

"Huh?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Senior Master Wang, and when I saw him, I smiled disapprovingly, knowing that what Senior Pang said was right. I couldn't help but secretly congratulate myself, fortunately, this is the case, otherwise maybe my tunnel fortification on Shangganling would not have been able to develop to this scale.

"The mission is complete, rest for two days and go back to the army with me!" Master Pang's next sentence made me even more dumbfounded.

"Divisional commander," this, this is going back?" I looked at Master Pang unexpectedly and said, "I haven't had that pit yet,"

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that Master Pang did not support or approve of my construction of the tunnel at all, and hurriedly stopped the following. "What? Building a tunnel is still addictive? Master Pang shook his head and smiled: "Do you still want to build those tunnels into a family?" Don't want to go back to the army after living here? ”

"Hahaha" Master Wang was happy when he heard it: "If that's the case, it's great!" If Commander Cui is willing to stay, I am the master, and the two highlands can be tossed as you want, and there is no problem in building your home! ”

"Well, it's not like I find myself in a dilemma again.

"Get down to business!" Division Commander Pang laughed for a while, and then said solemnly: "We have received an order from our superiors that in two months, the troops will begin to rotate in batches, and several corps that are resting in the country will soon enter the DPRK to take over our battles. The superiors mean that we will fight another battle before we return home. Each unit selects three or five targets to lay down several enemy forward positions

"Yes! I also received orders from my superiors! Master Wang nodded: "The decision of the superiors is reasonable!" The strategic purpose of this is, first, to enable our army to smoothly change its defenses. Second, it is to provide some combat experience for the troops receiving the defense. More importantly, it is better to prepare a buffer zone for the receiving troops, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy because they are not familiar with the terrain and are not prepared!

It turned out that I was going to change the guard, and when I heard this, I would soon arrive, and it wouldn't be long before the stalemate of "keeping in touch" between the Volunteer Army and the United Army would soon be over.

"It's going to be a huge one. However, the target of the attack is limited to operations in front-line and easy-to-hit positions." Division Commander Pang continued: "This battle is a full-line attack by our army's front-line troops, and its scale is not less than any previous battle, but the depth of the attack is only a few miles or even less. We are not fighting for the land, but to kill and injure the enemy's living forces as much as possible, so we strive to fight a war of annihilation and resolutely annihilate the enemy when they counterattack! ”

"Xiao Cui!" Master Wang patted me on the shoulder and said, "This battle is still being planned. It's not that for the time being don't let the fighters know, so as not to have some negative effects".

"Yes!" I 'stood up' and understood what Master Wang meant.

The consequences of this leakage are, firstly, to prepare the United ***, and secondly, it will inevitably have some negative effects in the hearts of the fighters. In particular, if the soldiers know that this is their last battle before returning home, some people will go home to honor their ancestors with meritorious service, and some people will want to save this life and go home to spend the rest of their lives. Whichever way you think about it. It is not advisable on the battlefield, and it may distract the soldiers from their lives.

"So we advise our teachers to prepare for the battlefield as well! Still don't you want to go back? Master Pang looked at me with a smile.

"Go back and be the old sixth son!" I said 'excitedly'! , "If I don't go back, who will take the group, how hard did the mule work to become the head of the regiment, if you don't go back, won't you be removed?" ”

Master Wang and Master Pang couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Report!" At this time, a radio soldier handed a telegram to Commander Wang and said, "This is a telegram sent to us by the People's Army!" "Hmm!" When Master Wang heard this, his expression immediately became solemn, and he took out the old 'flower' glasses from his coat pocket and put them on. He looked at the telegram in his hand, and then his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong?. Master Pang looked at it and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Hmm!" Division Commander Wang hesitated and said: "This is a telegram sent to us by the intelligence officers of the People's Army, saying that the intelligence officers they 'inserted' in the enemy's ranks have received reliable news that the US army has lost a large number of snipers in the sniper battle in the Wusheng Mountain area, and has lost face, so it has decided to send a special sniper unit to our area!" To how special. Where is special, the KPA intelligence officers can't find out,"

"Oh! That's a good thing! Commander Pang laughed out loud when he heard this: "I can 'force' the enemy's special sniper unit out." It also shows that you are good at shooting cold guns! It's coming up now, just in time, a pot of ends. ”

"Are you kidding me or what?" Master Wang took off the old 'flower' mirror and smiled bitterly. He pointed his glasses at me and said, "You were about to take one of our best sharpshooters away, and the enemy brought in some special sniper unit, and you could still laugh?" ”

"Master Pang!" Hearing this, I 'stood up' and said, "I, I ask to stay!" The Yankees' special sniper unit is mainly aimed at this cold-gun unit in my hand, and I just left, that doesn't mean I'm afraid of them!

I really can't rest assured that Yang Zhenshan and them are at the same time, and at the same time, I am full of curiosity about the special sniper unit of the Yankees, and I want to see what makes them special.

"Oh, didn't you Liu Cai still say that you didn't want to throw away the head of the regiment? Why don't you play it right now? Among the three people, only Master Pang smiled the most.

"Then" the Yankee wanted to compare with us, and I couldn't just run away." I said helplessly: "The regiment commander is important, but the prestige of our volunteer army is more important, isn't it?" ”

"Don't worry!" Master Pang smiled and said, "I will keep the position of Head Zhang Tuan for you." Let Li Guoqiang act as the head of the regiment first. You give me a good fight, and give me a cripple of this special sniper unit of the Yankees!

"Yes!" I 'straightened' up. He saluted Master Pang.

Master Wang also stood up and shook hands with Master Pang to express his gratitude.

The next night, when it was dark, the soldiers of the nephew regiment packed up their bags and lined up neatly on the highway to prepare to return to their original troops.

There were many people who came to see them off, most of them were soldiers of the Sword Division, and they had lived with the soldiers of their nephews for several months, building tunnels together, 'exchanging' experiences with each other, and even sleeping together, and they had long cultivated a deep friendship. Now I suddenly knew that I wanted to separate. And I don't know when we will see each other, and there is no need to say much about the feelings of farewell between each other.

Of course, among the people who came to see him off. Including me.

The soldiers did not dare to make a sound, in order to be afraid that the enemy would find out about the movement and attract bombardment. So it was quiet when we parted. Some silently tightened the marching quilts on the backs of the soldiers. Some quietly shook hands and hugged them, while others stuffed the warrior with a pair of shoes that they had kept for a long time and were reluctant to wear,"

"Help me take care of my comrades! , I patted Li Guoqiang on the shoulder, and I said with some reluctance: "You can bleed and sweat, but you can't lose the prestige of our nephew's group, and you can't lose the face of our counselor!" ”

"Yes!" Li Guoqiang saluted me in a dignified manner, shook my hand at the end, turned around and ran back to the marching ranks.

"Let's go back!" Now it's Master Pang's turn to 'hand' over to me: "I won't say anything else, I must come back alive!" I will always keep the position of the head of the Ma regiment for you, if you kid doesn't come to do it for ten or eight years, I can't spare you."

"Master Pang" shook Master Pang's hand heavily, and my eyes moistened unconsciously as I watched him turn around and climb into the jeep, and then look at the soldiers who couldn't stop waving at me.

"Let's go!" After a long time, until I couldn't see the shadows of the soldiers, Master Wang patted me on the shoulder and said, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed!" Differences are inevitable

"Hmm!" I nodded. One last glance in the direction the warriors had left. Only then did he reluctantly turn around and follow Master Wang back.

"There's something I want to tell you!" Division Commander Wang said solemnly: "I have sent several telegrams to contact the comrades of the People's Army, asking their intelligence officers to find out what is so special about this special sniper unit of the US Army!" But there was no result, and for this reason, the intelligence officers of the People's Army and several comrades were ***! It seems that this time. The Yankee's tone is still very tight! We can't take it lightly! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded. I can't help but be 'confused' in my heart, this so-called special unit of the US military

Sniper master? Or is it a precursor weapon?

Sniper master unlikely! If you are a sniper master, then you should not be called a special sniper unit. It should be called an 'elite' British sniper unit.

Then it's a precursor weapon! However, in the information I know, the sniper equipment of the US military did not improve greatly during the Korean War! Gun or... Rifle. If there is an improvement. It's just that the magnification of the sniper scope has been magnified. But if that's all it takes, it's not special at all!

"But the KPA intelligence officers still got something!" Division Commander Wang continued: "After they killed several comrades, they finally got the news that this sniper unit of the US army will enter the battlefield next month. There are still seven or eight days to go, and you still have some time to prepare. What are the difficulties, what needs to be mentioned. There are people and guns. During this time, we will focus on fighting cold guns and fully support your cold gun troops! We must smash the 'yin' plot of US imperialism to suppress us in the cold gun war! ”

"Yes!" I 'straightened' up.

"Let's go back to the position!" Division Commander Wang nodded and said, "While there is still time, I have confidence in you to scrape this cold gun unit in your hand!" ”

"Yes!" I saluted Commander Wang, turned around and walked towards the high ground.

Along the way, I was thinking about what kind of weapons the U.S. military had, so I called this sniper unit "special", but I couldn't think of anything, and I had to give up in the end.

Before I knew it, I had returned to my own headquarters in Blade Heights. When I walked into the tunnel, I saw that Wang Yuehan, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and the three squad leaders of the cold gun unit were already waiting in our headquarters.

"Captain Cui!" Seeing me coming back, Wang Yuehan greeted me and said, "We have received a notice from our superiors, I heard that the US military will send a special sniper unit to fight us?" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

The reason I never told them was because I couldn't think of anything special about this unit of the U.S. military. I don't know what is special about them, which means that I can't do 'sex' practice at all, so it makes no difference between saying it and not saying it.

"It's just right to come!" Yang Zhenshan waved the gun in his hand and said: "I am worried that there are fewer and fewer targets to hit during this time, but I didn't expect the American devils to be so attentive, and they will send us a batch immediately!" ”

There was a bang. The soldiers were amused by Yang Zhenshan's words.

"Comrades, don't be careless!" I was the only one who didn't laugh, and I frowned and said, "We still haven't figured out what these Yankees are up to." For this, the comrades of the People's Army also sacrificed several intelligence officers! The Yankees are not making this so mysterious out of nothing, for no reason. ”

"Captain! I just don't understand! Liu Yawen said with some disbelief: "Isn't this cold gun just one gun per person?" What else can there be famous. I see, those Yankees are just bluffing, trying to scare us! ”

Liu Yawen is now the squad leader of the third squad of the cold gun unit, after Huang Sihu died, I asked the soldiers of the third squad to elect their squad leader, and it happened that they chose Liu Yawen as the squad leader. It is said that it was because Liu Yawen had killed a US sniper when he was cold.

Grassroots cadres are elected by the fighters rather than appointed by their superiors, which is a consistent tradition of the Volunteer Army. In fact, this is also very much in line with the combat methods and habits of the volunteers. Of course. It is also one of the reasons why the soldiers can choose their own cadres and make the soldiers feel fair, but more importantly, it is because the casualty rate of grassroots cadres of the volunteer army is extremely high. Sometimes there are situations where a battle is exchanged for several times, platoon commanders, and company commanders. If all of them have to be designated by their superiors, it will be very difficult for the volunteers whose communication equipment is extremely backward.

At the same time, it is inconceivable that the higher authorities should appoint new cadres one by one during the war.

"I agree with Comrade Liu Yawen's point of view!" Zhang Xiaoxiao grinned and said: "Didn't Chairman Mao also say that all imperialism is a paper tiger!" What is a paper tiger, it looks 'very' scary, but if we really want to fight with them, it's not just three or two punches to lie down! ”

The soldiers looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao's dancing appearance, and couldn't help but burst into laughter again. I only frowned.

The fighters of this cold-gun unit under my command. Don't look at them, the biggest one under me is just a me. squad leaders, but they are all sharpshooters with the most accurate marksmanship selected from various units. The position in the original army is not low, for example, the squad leader Hu Zudi is a battalion commander. All of them are proud soldiers! No one will easily obey anyone. The reason why I was able to hold them down. Half of it was because I had made a name for myself before that, and the other half was because they actually saw my marksmanship.

It's just such a force. The more you will underestimate the enemy. For example, now, they don't take the coming US sniper unit as a thing at all."

But I know. The U.S. military has lost a large number of snipers in the Shangganling area, and after knowing our strength, they will still send this sniper unit, and there will definitely be reasons for them.

What could be the reason for this?
