The smoke of gunpowder is filled, and the sound of artillery is shocking!

Outside the tunnel, there was a lot of fire from the explosion of shells and bullets, but I couldn't see a single person, which made it impossible for me to grasp the location of reinforcements. But at this time, I don't care so much, anyway, no matter where the reinforcements are, let's get rid of those Yankees on top of my head first.

So I immediately ordered the explosives pack buried under the enemy's firing point to be lit, and with the loud "boom" one after another, the gunfire outside suddenly became much quieter. I think that those American troops who are fighting 'fiercely' with our army in the firing point may not know how they died until the last moment!

But who cares about that! All I'm thinking about now is how to point out the right location for the reinforcements.

Just like the previous batches of reinforcements, it was difficult for the volunteer soldiers who had not fought in Shangganling before to find the mouth of the tunnel in a timely and accurate manner in this dark night. After all, on the slopes of these few square kilometers, which were also bombed by shells and full of craters, it was not easy to find the mouth of the pit scattered in between. Sometimes, even passing by the mouth of the pit is not found. What's more, the fighters can't still use flashlights because they are worried about *** targets.

Signal the fighters with a handset?

That's not great! Although the equipment of the volunteers and the U.S. army is different, the light emitted by the flashlight is still the same, and the reinforcements cannot distinguish between friend and foe at all. Just like just now, the reinforcements took our flashlights as targets. Moreover, the flashlight shines like this, while pointing me in the direction, it will also allow the US military to find the target.

Do you send someone out to answer it?

It doesn't seem to be very good either! At this time, it was the time when the enemy and us were 'fighting', and a few of our soldiers rushed out, not only could they be accidentally injured by the volunteer soldiers, but more seriously, if the reinforcements were not able to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and they would not dare to shoot anyone if they encountered them, it would be very bad!

"Chief of Staff! Did you get someone? "Qin Zhi's archers couldn't bear the 'sex' at this time, and hurriedly ran to my side from the headquarters and asked anxiously.

"Not yet!" I shook my head helplessly: "Maybe the soldiers can't find the mouth of the tunnel!" ”

"Hey, what a rush!" Instructor Qin replied: "The U.S. Army's firepower fort was only temporarily blown up by us, and if the U.S. Army reacts and sends reinforcements after a while, the tunnel will be re-blocked."

At this time, I only heard a hula, and a large pile of sand and gravel suddenly fell at the mouth of the tunnel, and there seemed to be a person who fell faintly in the artillery fire. I rushed out with my rifle in one step, and when I came to the mouth of the tunnel, I found that there was indeed a black shadow, perhaps I had lost the gun in the process of falling, and was now 'messing' and 'touching' everywhere in the dark.

In the darkness, I couldn't tell whether it was friend or foe, and I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so I raised my rifle and pointed it against the black shadow's head, shouting, "Don't move!" Which part? ”

I shouted this for a purpose, I speak Chinese, and if the other party is an enemy, then he will obediently raise his hand; If he is a volunteer soldier, then he is now,

"Comrade! It's your own people! I was overjoyed by the shadow's answer, and without saying a word, I put away my gun and pulled the shadow in.

If our opponent is a puppet army, then I will also worry about whether the person in front of me is a South Korean who can speak Chinese, after all, there are many people in the puppet army who speak Chinese that is no different from our Chinese. But now it's the U.S. military that's 'fighting' with us, so I don't want to drag him in.

"Comrade! I've found you! ”

Standing still at the corner of the tunnel and shining a flashlight, a soldier covered in mud and his face blackened by gunpowder appeared before my eyes.

"Comrade, what's the situation now?" The battle situation is urgent, and I don't have much politeness, holding his hand and asking directly.

"It's so dark! We can't find the mouth of the tunnel! The warrior said anxiously: "The warriors are divided into several groups to look outside, and if I don't accidentally fall, I won't be able to find you!" ”

"No way!" Saying that, the soldier was anxious again: "I have to go out quickly and call all the soldiers in, and I won't be in a hurry if it's too late!" ”

"Comrade! You're so poisoned, what if you can't find the mouth of the pit when you come back? ”

In fact, even if this warrior didn't volunteer, I would send him out to contact reinforcements. First, because he is familiar with the troops as part of the reinforcements, and he can identify friend and foe by just calling a few names. The other is because he also knows the position of the reinforcements. If the other people go out, it will be really dangerous to find someone on this battlefield where they can't tell the difference between friend and foe face to face.

"That" what to do then? Hearing this, this warrior couldn't help but be stunned, he was also the first time to enter this tunnel, and it can even be said that he accidentally fell in. This time I went out, and it is really very likely that as I said, I will not be able to find my way back when I go out.

"I can't care so much! After thinking about it, he raised his head and said, "I can't just stay alone in the tunnel and leave the soldiers alone!" Let's go out first! "Gao Yongxiang!"

"Here!"

"You are familiar with the terrain, follow this comrade to pick it up! In addition, after thinking about it, I turned around and asked Director Qin, "Do we still have flour in the tunnel?" ”

"Flour?" Although Instructor Qin didn't know what kind of 'medicine' was sold in my gourd, he also knew that the military situation was urgent, so he immediately replied, "There are still four or five bags."

"Enough!" I, Chuan Si Xiaoxiang, ordered! "The two of you carry the flour on your backs, and the old road will 'plug', and the soldiers who delete themselves will let them follow the flour, understand?.

"Understood!" Gao Yongxiang and the warrior nodded knowingly.

Under the command of Instructor Qin, soon a warrior came with a bag of flour on his back. Gao Yongxiang didn't speak, 'draw' the thorn of the army and pierced two 'holes' in the flour bag, and ran out of the pit with the soldier on his back.

"What a solution! Chief of staff! Looking at the long white line in front of the mouth of the tunnel, Director Qin couldn't help but praise: "This white noodle is spread on the ground, which can not only allow the soldiers to find the mouth of the tunnel, but also save the time of Gao Yongxiang and the two of them to lead the way back and forth." Kill two birds with one stone! It's wonderful! ”

"Yes! Chief of staff! Miao Huaizhi, who was standing beside him, also said with a smile: "Before! I only knew that this white flour could fill my stomach, but I didn't expect it to work! This food thing can be used to fight in the hands of the chief of staff! ”

There was a coax, and the warriors all laughed out loud. While the soldiers were laughing, several volunteer soldiers came in along the flour, and the soldiers stepped forward to answer them.

The people who help carry things on their backs, and the wounded people who carry the wounded on their backs are very busy. Then it didn't take long for more and more people to come in, and they were all carrying *** and food on their backs, and I couldn't help but feel good when I looked at them.

This also seems to prove that I was right in my decision not to let the soldiers light the explosive packs when the first two batches of reinforcements came in. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for so many of these reinforcements to enter the tunnel smoothly.

Well, now that there are so many soldiers and so many supplies, it can also alleviate the urgent need. As I drooled over the boxes of supplies that were passing in front of me, a voice came from the mouth of the pit that caught my attention.

"Comrade, where is the chief of staff? , a tall warrior asked, patting the sand on his body.

"I am!" I beckoned to the warrior.

"Report to the Chief of Staff". The soldier ran up to me and saluted and said, "Li Baocheng, commander of the 8th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Hongtuan, reports."

"Eight in a row? Li Baocheng? "Listening to this, my head buzzed and almost short-circuited.

Not for anything else, but this unit is so famous, and the Shangganling Battle in history was mainly fought by this unit. In modern times, I have also read the information of this army, and the deepest impression on me is that during the War of Liberation, it once 'engaged' with the 10th Division of the 14th Army, a descendant of the Kuomintang, and they attacked all the way to defeat four villages one after another, and in the end only nine people were killed or wounded. However, what is surprising is that the combat effectiveness of the people they have replenished with captives is still undiminished. Four days later, the sharp knife company that served as the column again attacked the enemy's ace troops, and it was still a triumphant battle."

If the other troops were to expand to one hundred and forty people with prisoners, it would be difficult for nine people to see the other hundred or so people, let alone any combat effectiveness. But they can still lead this army to charge into battle, and even win many battles, which cannot but be said to be a miracle!

Now that the division headquarters has sent this trump card unit up, it shows that it has paid enough attention to the battle situation in Shangganling.

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff Knows"

"Oh!" Li Baocheng's cry pulled me back from my thoughts, and I hurriedly held Li Baocheng's hand and said, "It turned out to be Company Commander Li, welcome, welcome!" Just now, Instructor Qin and I were still wondering which unit could actually get in the way of the enemy's 'chaos', it turned out to be Company Commander Li's Eighth Company, no wonder! Come, let's go to the headquarters! ”

As he spoke, he called Director Qin, and walked towards the headquarters with his waist bent.

"Tell me about the situation! , Xiao Gang sat down in front of the map and handed a cigarette to Company Commander Li, and I couldn't wait to say: "The first two batches of reinforcements failed to pass the enemy's fire blockade, how can you come up so many at once!" ”

"Report to the Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng 'stood up' and said: "In fact, there is no magic weapon, although the reinforcements of the first two batches of reinforcements failed, but their sacrifices let us identify the enemy's firepower points, we sent a sharp knife squad in advance to blow up the firepower points that threaten reinforcements along the road one by one and then 'touch' them!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Hearing this, I nodded in appreciation: "It seems that your ace army really deserves its reputation!" ”

"The chief of staff has passed the award!" Li Baocheng was a little embarrassed to 'touch' his head: "If it weren't for the chief of staff blowing up the enemy's fire fort at a critical time, we are afraid that it would not have gone so smoothly."

"You two just stop boasting!" Instructor Qin took out two cups of tea and handed them to us respectively and said, "Company Commander Li, have the casualties been counted?"

"Not yet!" Li Baocheng shook his head: "I have already asked Instructor Wang to count, and it is about the same now."

Reports. At this time, a soldier with a tokarev pistol on his waist got in, saluted me and said: "Wang Wenyong, the instructor of the 8th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Hongtuan, came to report!" ”

"Yo! Say Cao '' Cao '' just arrived! Please sit down, please take a seat". Director Qin hurriedly smiled and gave Li Baocheng a seat.

"Company commander, chief of staff, the number of casualties has been counted!" Instructor Wang seemed to be in a good mood, and as soon as he sat down, he reported in high spirits: "The whole company only sacrificed five people, more than ten comrades were slightly injured, and the eighth squad leader Cui Hanbi's injuries were the focus, but it was not a big deal!" ”

"What's wrong with the eighth squad leader?" Li Baocheng couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing!" Instructor Wang took a sip of tea. said: "He is also clever in order to bring the boy to the soldiers, at the beginning he 'got' a bag of flour to guide the way, and then the flour followed the stomping and hunger The soldiers couldn't see clearly, so they crawled back and forth more than 20 times, and the soldiers were almost brought back by him!" Later, the uniforms were torn, and the 'chest', abdomen, arms, legs, and feet were all blurred with blood and 'flesh', all of which were ground by shrapnel and gravel when they crawled on the ground."

"What a comrade." Commander Qin couldn't help but praise.

Listening to Instructor Wang's words, I couldn't help but think of the soldier who accidentally fell into the tunnel, and I thought that he was the eighth squad leader in the mouth of Company Commander Li and Instructor Wang! If you want to lead the way, you can 'hand' this task to other fighters if you bring it once or twice, but he consciously insists on taking it all by himself, "I really can't understand the warriors of this era." If this were to be in modern times, the world would be labeled a "fool". But I know that in this land of North Korea, in the troops of the Volunteer Army, it is precisely such thousands of "fools" that we can fight this battle that makes the world look at it! "Company Commander Li". After thinking about it, I went straight to the point and asked, "I don't know about tomorrow night's ***." What are the instructions from the superiors? ”

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng and Instructor Wang glanced at each other. He said with some hesitation: "The order given to our company by the division commander is to only *** not to hold on, let us withdraw to the division headquarters immediately after *** restores the surface position tomorrow night!" ”

"Hmm! How can this work" Instructor Qin couldn't help but gasp: "It's not that the division department doesn't know the situation in Shangganling. The casualties were heavy and the number of troops was already seriously insufficient. You are the only ones who will come up to reinforce our troops at the division headquarters, and if you all withdraw, then what will we do to fight the enemy."

I don't stick to it, I know what the division means. The Eighth Company is the trump card company of the division, and the division headquarters will not be used until the critical time, let alone let the Eighth Company be exhausted in the defensive battle.

This would have been possible if other reinforcements had come up, but the rest of the reinforcements had been almost wiped out.

But I'm not worried about this, because in the Shangganling Battle in history, this heroic Eighth Company is the backbone, so I believe that the Eighth Company will not be able to withdraw.

Thinking of this, I immediately nodded and said, "No problem! We're only thinking about the *** plan for tomorrow night now! When you've completed your mission, you can retract."

"Chief of Staff Director Qin wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

"Hmm!" Li Baocheng nodded, pointed to the map and said: "The preliminary plan is this, the time for launching *** is set at nine o'clock tomorrow night, and the division headquarters will transfer a rocket artillery regiment to cooperate with the artillery unit to carry out an hour's fire preparation for the enemy's surface position!" At ten o'clock, the fire was extended, and our army occupied the enemy's surface positions in three directions, and the chief of staff took the rest as the second echelon"

"Are you familiar with the terrain of Shangganling? I asked, "I believe that you can fight, and I believe in your combat effectiveness, but I think this is the first time you have fought on this riveting heights."

"The Chief of Staff means ,

"Of course you are the first echelon!" I replied: "The garrison structure in the tunnel is very 'chaotic', and they are very tired after a few days of non-stop fighting, coupled with the lack of ***, so it is impossible and unrealistic to want to be the main attack of the first echelon, but I don't want you to suffer because of the unfamiliar terrain and the lack of understanding of the battlefield situation." I think so, there are some companies in our unit that have very few people, and some companies have only a dozen people left in the whole company. I think that these companies with a small number can be separately integrated into your platoon as the first echelon to attack, so as to make up for your lack of familiarity with the terrain! small

"The Chief of Staff is right!" Company Commander Li and Director Wang glanced at each other and nodded.

"There is one thing I want to remind Company Commander Li first! After thinking about it for a while, I continued: "The U.S. military has built fortifications on our army's surface positions for a whole day today, and we have no ability to restore the surface positions tonight, that is to say" By the time we are *** tomorrow night, the U.S. military will have two days to prepare. With the modern equipment of the US military, it is entirely possible to build a solid cement 'concrete' fortification in two days. In other words, even if our army increases the rocket artillery regiment and intensifies the artillery bombardment tomorrow night, the effect may not be ideal. Tomorrow night may be a fierce battle, we need to prepare for the bombing of the bunker and organize the demolition team in advance! ”

"Yes!" Li Baocheng and Wang Wen nodded in vain.

"And!" After thinking about it, I pointed to the map and said, "Considering that our offensive routes are the same for the past two days, I think the enemy will also prepare accordingly, and we will change the offensive route tomorrow night."

They attacked from the No. 8 and No. 8 positions, and immediately expanded the results of the battle after the next position. The troops in the three directions support and cover each other, striving to restore the surface positions in the shortest possible time and at the least cost! ”

"Yes". The warriors responded in unison.

I would like to pay tribute to Comrade Cui Hanbi, a soldier of the heroic Eighth Company and the Eighth Squad in this chapter, Comrade Cui Hanbi crawled back and forth on the position more than 20 times in order to lead the way for the Eighth Company, and brought the whole company into the tunnel. The glorious title.
