Chapter 11: Victory in the First Battle

In the period that followed, I went out with the warriors a few more times.

Consciously train them in the direction of modern snipers, for example, by grouping them in pairs. In battle, one is responsible for observation and the other is responsible for sniping. The purpose of this is to prevent the soldiers from observing the enemy's situation on the battlefield for a long time, which will strain their eyes and affect the accuracy of their 'shooting' and attacking. Especially in the coming winter, if you observe the formation for several hours in a row, the light that reflects on the snow is enough to make people's eyes red and swollen.

In order to avoid being covered with a large number of casualties by enemy artillery fire during the battle, I also had the fighters divide into several groups and lurk in positions at different times. At the very least, only one group is sent, and at most there are only three squads.

With the first experience, the rest of the lurking is not as hard as the first one. The warriors even figured out how to eat and drink while lurking. They hung the rice balls in a cloth bag on their left arm, tying a slipknot at the opening. When you are hungry, you only need to use your teeth to untie the knot, and you don't need to use your hands to eat. Drinking water was even easier, and they didn't know who came up with the idea, so they got a few drip plastic pipes from the hygienist and attached them to the kettle around their waists, and the plastic pipes were sewn into the military uniform and extended to the collar. When you are thirsty, as long as you lower your head slightly, you can drink the water in the kettle.

The soldiers also humorously called these two small inventions "rice to open the mouth" and "water to open the mouth"!

I still remember that I couldn't help but laugh when I heard the fighters say this name. These two names, although they are very similar, are very reminiscent of the idiom "clothes come to stretch out their hands, food to open their mouths", and I think the reason why the soldiers took these two names is also because of this idiom. I can't make any connection between the hardships of the soldiers lurking on the battlefield with the image of a lazy man who "stretches out his hand for clothes and opens his mouth for food".

Sometimes I think that the warriors really deserve the title of "the loveliest people", don't they? In such difficult conditions, they will make their own jokes and have some fun for themselves.

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan took a glass of water and handed it to me and said, "Today, the superiors are asking about the results of the battle again!" ”

"Hmm! It's political commissar Xie urging again! I took the teacup and responded.

"Who else is it not him?" Wang Yuehan said with a smile: "I have reported to the organization several times, we need time to practice, we need time to learn and familiarize ourselves with this new tactic, but Political Commissar Xie is just anxious to see the results!" I called and asked at the end of three days. ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and my ears almost heard a cocoon in the time I had been leading the warriors to lurk. Master Wang is fine. I know that there is no urgency in such a thing as a war, and if I am in a hurry, there will be 'chaos'. Political Commissar Xie is different. Call once the next day to ask about the situation. And also said. "The whole division of sharpshooters is on this. Why didn't there be any movement for half a day, the enemy didn't see a single one, but they themselves suffered casualties, how did they 'hand' over to the organization, how to publicize to the soldiers! ”

If you want me to say, once the matter of fighting a war is linked to politics and propaganda, it is very difficult to make a correct judgment. It's like the third campaign. It is not allowed to fight militarily. But if there is a need for it politically, it can only be reluctantly tough. For example, this time, I would like to thank the Political Committee for being in such a hurry. A large part of the reason is that he has already publicized this tactic to his superiors and other departments, and may even boast about Haikou, but we have no achievements at all, which makes him unable to hang on face.

However, now I only have the lives of the fighters in my eyes, and the face is not worth mentioning to me at all!

"What about the warriors? Are you also in the same hurry as Commissar Xie? I looked at the topographic map on my desk

Stupefied.

"In the past few days, I don't seem to have listened to what they called!" Wang Yuehan thought for a while and replied: "The first few times I was lurking, I was still talking about shooting all day long, now I should get used to it!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded in satisfaction. I have been with the fighters for a while, and I know that they are not "used to it" as Wang Yuehan said, but are slowly learning to endure and enter the state.

Now should be the time!

I wanted to put the start of the fight all the way back until it snowed, when it would be much safer to shoot cold. But this year's cold air is unsatisfactory Shanshan is late, and now I am afraid that I can't wait for that time.

In fact, it was not only Political Commissar Xie who was anxious, but the US army's fire blockade on the surface positions became more and more fierce during this period, making it difficult for the soldiers to get out of the tunnels during the day.

There were not enough logs to support it, so the construction of the tunnel became very slow, and sometimes it had to be stopped because the tunnel could collapse.

To solve this problem, the most fundamental thing is to change the current situation in which the US military can operate unscrupulously on surface positions, and to change the situation in which the enemy's firepower is overwhelmingly pressed on our army during the day, so that our army is in an all-round passive attack.

And to do it. It can only rely on cold guns and cold cannon movements.

Cold Gun Cold Gun Movement. Although it is impossible to completely reverse this situation, it can limit the freedom of the US military to a great extent and expand the time and space for the activities of volunteer soldiers.

"Call the warriors for a meeting!" Thinking about it, I ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan responded, but soon said with some hesitation: "Head Cui, let me call them, I'm afraid it's a little difficult,"

"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Wang Yuehan in confusion. Secretly, this guy won't be arguing with me! Let him call someone and make it difficult for me

"Regiment Commander, I, I didn't mean that" Wang Yuehan suddenly realized that there was a speech problem in his words, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, it takes a while to find the soldiers for a meeting. Now a lot of battles are practicing their latent skills, and even when they are resting, they hide in all corners in disguise. Especially on this night, if you want to have a meeting. Captain, you'll have to wait a little longer! "So that's what happened!" I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, I didn't think that those fighters were still addicted to the latent after practicing for a while.

"It's easy to do." I said to Wang Yuehan: "You go around the outside of the tunnel, learn to call crickets while walking, two long and one short, keep them and come to gather soon!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan answered, turned around and walked out of the tunnel.

Lurking up to now, the warriors have formed a tacit understanding that whenever they want to contact their comrades around them, they will replace them with animal voices. Over time, the sounds of these animals have taken on different meanings depending on their rhythm. I have to admit that it wasn't something I thought of or I brought it up, and I couldn't help but marvel at how well the fighters learned and adapted.

Reports.

"Report!"

With a report after a report, the warriors appeared in my tunnel like ghosts.

Now they are very different from when the net formed this force. I still remember the first time I met them, there was a scene of 'chaos' and 'chaos'. There is always some discussion in the meeting.

But now, the whole tunnel is quiet and quiet, filled with an inexplicable and eerie atmosphere. Even Wang Yuehan, who came in after him, felt it. At this time, he looked at the warriors with a look of astonishment.

But it's understandable, if anyone tries to lie in one place all day without talking or moving, and they practice like this for almost a month, I think it's almost going to be like this.

Seeing that the warriors had arrived, I shifted my gaze from the topographical map on the table to the warriors. He said calmly: "Get ready, start the action at four o'clock in the morning tomorrow and allow shooting!" ”

"Yes". The fighters 'stood up', but to my surprise, the expressions on their faces didn't change much.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly say that it was boring. I always thought that when they heard the long-awaited news, I clenched my fists and shouted, "Good! Finally waited for this day! ”

"Let the concubines of the American Empire see how powerful we are!"

"Hit him ***!"

But I didn't expect their reaction to be so calm and waveless!

This is the result of their patience and calmness! Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. The so-called one gain must have one loss, this is really an eternal truth.

"Here's the plan!" I pointed to the topographic map hanging on the wall of the tunnel and said, "The first, second, and third classes are lurking on the Liaokou Heights, the Mountains, and the Hui 7 Heights, respectively, looking for their own locations. It is necessary to be close to the tunnel and can evacuate quickly. When the U.S. troops get up and get ready, they will take the charge as an order. Shoot all the bullets in the chamber as fast as you can, and then return to the pit as fast as you can! You are not allowed to change the magazine, do you understand?

"Understood!" The warriors responded in unison, and then, without saying a word, went back to their tunnels to prepare.

"Captain Cui, this is going to start!" After the soldier left, Wang Yuehan asked with some doubt: "But I saw how this operation was a little different from the usual practice. Usually you ask them to go out in batches to carry out tasks at different times, why today".

"Because it's the first time".

It was getting colder and colder, and I couldn't help but shiver as I lay on the ground and felt the chill coming from the ground and the cold wind swishing in my back. But I soon realized that if it was daytime, I was afraid that I would have been targeted by the enemy machine gunners.

After some necessary rest and preparation, I lurked in the position with the fighters at four o'clock in the morning. I chose this time because of my own laziness, and earlier means that we have to lurk for a longer period of time, and a little later. The sky will soon be bright.

And my purpose is to get up in the early morning when the U.S. military 'gets up' and gives them a hard bite at the moment when they are barely on guard.

Because it was the first time, the U.S. military would not be prepared, so we were all dispatched at the same time, so we

can launch an attack on the US military at the same time.

This time it's not so much a sniper battle as a different way to tell the Yankees

It's time for us to shoot cold.

In order to stay in good shape, I closed my eyes and rested for a while, but when I opened my eyes again, I found that the sky was getting brighter.

The surrounding scenery slowly became clearer. The scenery in the direction of the US positions is still not much different from the one I came to a few days ago: two layers of barbed wire fence covered with canned food boxes, trenches and machine-gun positions made of sandbags, pillboxes watered with steel and concrete, and single tents neatly arranged. There are also high-altitude 'fired' machine guns on machine-gun positions,

However, the scenery in the direction of the Volunteer Army is different, although there are still craters everywhere. But the highs and lows are not at all what they were a few days ago.

The enemy's position is well fortified and full of modern equipment, but our surface position does not even have the basic "handsome cloth, crying is not ordinary, it is impossible to imagine how the volunteer soldiers held the surface position in this situation in the early stage of the Dump a Thief Campaign."

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the positions of our troops, the light of the American searchlights finally stopped rotating. For the U.S. military, they have finally waited for the day when they can rest and have fun with peace of mind.

Because most of the time when the volunteers launched attacks were at night, the current US troops were always on strict alert against our positions at night. And in the daytime, their tense nerves will slowly relax. But I'm sure it won't be long before they learn that the situation is not what they thought it was.

It's almost time! Perhaps because the weather was getting colder, the U.S. troops didn't get out of their tents as they usually did, until a well-dressed U.S. soldier yelled at the tents:

"Get out of the tent for me! Did you guys dream about which *** last night? I haven't gotten out of bed yet! If I find out in the tent after two minutes, I'll swear I'll string your dick on a bayonet!" ”

I couldn't help but smile wryly when I heard this, saying that the officers of the US military were foul when they scolded their subordinates, which I had seen in modern American war movies, but I really understood the power of this. This is the first time.

But for a while, one by one. Disheveled American GIs came out of those tents one after another. Men with 'trousers' and cigarettes in their mouths checking the anti-aircraft machine guns "Suddenly the whole high ground on the opposite side became lively.

I slowly retracted my head and returned to my position.

My location is the ridge line of the 7th highland. In this place, if you stick out your head, you can see the enemy's position on the opposite side, and if you take a step back, you will be able to see your own anticline position, which can be said to be a good sniper position.

After returning to my position, I turned around and made a gesture to Wang Yuehan, who had been waiting at the mouth of the pit for a long time, Wang Yuehan nodded knowingly, turned around and waved the flag towards the high ground of Zhukou.

I don't have any communication equipment! I had to use this soil method.

Launch a small battle with two heights and a coordinated mountain range as we do now. It will be a lot more troublesome because of the weakness of the communication equipment.

For example, we who are lurking in Suke Highland, Mountains, and Rose-7 Heights just want to shoot at the enemy at the same time, which seems to be a simple matter, but it becomes a problem because we don't have communication equipment.

First of all, we can't use the sound of gunfire as a signal, in case it is the enemy who shoots! So we can only use the Charge that the enemy does not have. But there is another problem with the bugle, as soon as the horn of the Rose 7 Heights sounds, the fighters will shoot after it, and then the enemy will soon return fire. It is likely that the sound of the guns and cannons will drown out the sound of the trumpets and prevent the soldiers of the other highlands from carrying out their orders in time.

So we had to set up a trumpeter on each high ground, and then contact with the flag, and at the same time blow the trumpet of the charge.

It also made me realize that advanced communication equipment is indispensable if we really want to build a 'colorful' sniper force, otherwise, our fighters are lurking in the forward position, and even if they see the enemy's movements or find an emergency, they will not be able to report it to the headquarters.

That's all for later. After gesticulating, I slowly poked my head out of the ridge again. Once again, he focused his gaze on the sniper scope, looking for his target. Luckily, I found out that the officer I had just identified hadn't left. At this time, he was holding a cup of coffee that was still steaming, sitting on the shell box and looking at our army in a daze. The distance between me and him was only more than 100 meters, and I could clearly see in the scope that his blue eyes were a little sentimental, perhaps remembering someone at home."

The shrill sound of the bugle suddenly sounded, and I pulled the trigger without hesitation. With the vibration from his shoulder, a bullet flew out, and coincidentally, the bullet first flew the coffee in his hand and then 'shot' into his heart."

The black 'colored' coffee 'stained' his military uniform. The next thing that came out of the black 'color' was a dazzling bright red. He looked at his chest in disbelief and then looked up in my direction. Then he collapsed to the ground as soon as his whole body went limp.

There was no pain or despair in his eyes. Only surprise. Perhaps, the sudden three bullets made him not in a hurry at all and had any other feelings.

Before the Yankees could react to what was going on, gunshots soon rang out one after another. The distance is just over a hundred meters. The soldiers were all sharpshooters, and they were ready to go, so almost every shot was fired, and an American soldier would fall in response.

The Americans soon lay on the ground and hid in the trenches ready to return fire, but they couldn't see where we were hiding, and one by one they fell under our guns.

"Bang bang bang I 'shot' all the bullets in the gun in one go. Several US soldiers grabbed their anti-aircraft machine guns and were about to strafe and 'shoot'. All of them, without exception, were shot in the head and fell into the position.

The U.S. military was frightened by this extremely accurate bullet, and could no longer care about counterattacking and looking for cover everywhere. The soldiers took advantage of this moment of time to run back to the anticline from the latent position at the fastest speed, and then drilled into the tunnel
