Chapter 18: Fear

Chapter 18: Fear

The U.S. military was more cautious than I thought, and the soldiers and I waited for more than ten minutes, but still did not see a single U.S. soldier. If the so-called soldiers were fast, if the speed of the US troops charged last time, it would only take a few minutes to come up from a distance of several hundred meters, but this time they were nearly ten minutes slower.

I think it has something to do with the fact that they couldn't guess why our army didn't resist this time, because the last time we put so much effort into defending, this time there was no one, and it would be strange anyway. The US military is not stupid either, and of course they will think of it too.

But they just put the undefended position and don't rush up, and it is not a way after all. So after a while, a platoon of American troops lined up in a straggler formation cautiously 'touched' up.

This platoon is their scout, and it can also be said that they use it to test the troops. When they don't know what kind of 'tricks' the enemy is doing, or when they suspect that there is a trap ahead, in order to reduce casualties and reduce the risk, they usually send small troops to test the front. The US military, which has always paid attention to scientific and rational use of troops, will naturally be no exception.

In fact, this is indeed a very useful method, because even if we pull off the explosive 'powder' package buried on the top of the mountain, we will not kill many American soldiers. But now that I know this, I certainly won't do it again.

"Boom ......" An explosion was heard from the hilltop position, which was a grenade thrown by US scouts. Fearing that there were still our soldiers hidden in the hilltop position, they carefully inspected every place with grenades and bullets. I think that every time they checked a place, they would report "clear" to their comrades through walkie-talkies. It's like what is depicted in movies and TV.

Some of them were in my scope by this time, but I didn't shoot. One is that I've lost interest in sniping them now. More importantly, the time has not yet come for war.

It was only when they had finished inspecting the hilltop position and pointed their eyes and guns at the anticline of our troops that I shouted at the soldiers: "Fight"

The gunfire was immediate, but not dense. The fighters also saw clearly that there were not many enemies in front of them, and the volunteers had always had the habit of saving bullets, so the machine gunners and submachine gunners did not move at all, but the rifles fought for a while. Several American troops who came out of the front line immediately fell in a pool of blood, and the rest of the American troops immediately realized that our troops were lying in ambush on the anti-slope plane, and they all fell to the ground and shouted for reinforcements with walkie-talkies.

People have such weaknesses that once they discover a new danger, they quickly forget about the crisis under their feet. As the scouts walked up to the hilltop position, I noticed that they were even carefully checking the position for mines. If they continue like this, I'm sure they'll soon find out about the explosives we have planted. But as soon as we fired, we succeeded in diverting their attention.

They will be pleasantly surprised to find that the volunteers have avoided the difficult to defend hilltop position and retreated to the antislope to defend, so they no longer bother to check and call for reinforcements

That's exactly what I need......

When the large number of American troops received the news of safety and knew that their comrades at the top of the hill were being attacked by the enemy, they did not hesitate any longer, rushed up in groups, and then quickly put all kinds of weapons on the front of the position.

The fierce battle soon began, and in the face of so many enemies, the volunteer soldiers naturally did not save bullets as they did just now. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire, whistles, and explosions soon became one, and both sides were 'firing' bullets at each other as fast as they could, doing their best to knock the opponent to the ground first.

The enemy occupies a hilltop position, and their greatest advantage is that they can easily throw grenades into our positions. But the soldiers of our army defending on the ridge line also gave them a great headache.

The essence of the anticline is that the anticline and the ridge line are matched with each other. Although their position is very close to the enemy, it is a dead angle for the enemy's 'shooting', and the enemy's grenades cannot be thrown. Coupled with the fire cover of other volunteers on the anti-slope, it was difficult for the American troops to rush down from the hilltop position to occupy the ridge line. As a result, although the enemy has a geographical advantage, he can only fight with our army in a close match.

But soon, the fighters, who had been circling in the middle of the swoop, swooped down and joined the fight.

This is a weakness of anticline operations. If our troops are holding the position on the top of the mountain, the US fighters will have some scruples about dropping bombs, because the position on the top of the hill is narrow, and if the US pilots are not careful, they may drop the bombs on the US troops who are charging towards the top of the hill.

Now our army is defending on the anti-slope, in a relatively spacious position, and our army is far away from the American army in order to avoid the distance of the bomb. As a result, US military pilots will no longer have such concerns. In a short time, five or six Mustang and Pirate fighters swooped down from the sky with a shrill whistle, followed by a dense hail of bullets. The machine guns on the fighter planes were frantically firing at us, and the bullets were dancing like poisonous snakes around our position, causing the earth and rocks to fly in front of us. In an instant, many warriors fell in pools of blood. And then boom again...... With a few loud bangs, the heavy aerial bombs made the entire slope tremble, and the pieces of debris set off were like 'waves' and 'waves' that drowned us in them.

I shook the dirt off my body, got out of the mound and looked at the volunteer soldiers beside me. Although many warriors fell in pools of blood, they were soon replenished from the tunnel. This is another benefit of anticline warfare, the anticline position is very close to the mouth of the tunnel, and even some fighters are right next to the mouth of the tunnel. This makes it very convenient for our army to replenish its troops in a timely manner.

After a little composure, I set my sights on the American position at the top of the hill. Our troops' firepower was temporarily suppressed by the fighters, and the American troops on the top of the hill became even more arrogant, and the machine gun bullets kept 'firing' at our positions, and the mortars also 'fired' at our troops.

Moreover, the second echelon of the US military has also come up at this time. The area of the hilltop position is small, and so many American troops are gathered on it, making the entire hilltop position black and oppressive, like a dense weed. I even sent a few American soldiers proudly waving flags in the distance, and they were showing off to reporters from all over the world who were observing the place, telling reporters that they had succeeded in taking the enemy's position.

However, they will soon regret these actions.

"Do it" I lowered my voice and gave an order to Hu Biao, who was lying not far away.

Hu Biao nodded, and immediately grabbed the small horn hanging around his neck and blew it vigorously in his mouth.

The sound of a "......", its sharp and piercing horn was very noticeable even on this battlefield filled with the sound of gunfire.

The volunteer soldiers in charge of the blasting immediately pulled the ropes in their hands, and the soldiers invariably loaded their rifles with bayonets. After an explosion, if you don't take advantage of the situation and rush up to kill for a while, it is definitely a 'waste' fee.

During this time, the US military had no idea what was going to happen, and they still arrogantly 'fired' rows of bullets at our troops, and some US machine gunners even shouted at us arrogantly while '' the machine guns and sweeping wildly......

"Boom ......" With a few loud bangs, several pillars of fire rose in front of us. Without warning, the entire hilltop position was covered in smoke and dust. The US troops, who were still arrogantly 'shooting' at our army just now, have been blown up and flying everywhere in the sky at this moment.

And I think that those journalists from all over the world who were watching this direction with high-powered telescopes from a distance must have also seen this amazing scene, but the matter is not over yet.

I jumped up from my hiding place and shouted, "Comrades, rush"

Like tigers, the fighters jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the enemy on the hilltop position with bayonets and submachine guns.

The enemy has long been shaken by this sudden explosion, even if he is not dead, he will be injured, even if he is not injured, he will be stunned, if he is not dead, not injured and not stunned, then he is also temporarily in a state of 'chaos', so our army did not encounter any resistance at all.

The enemy fighters in the sky swooped down with a whistling sound, as if trying to help their comrades, but then they were helpless to find that they could no longer help. Because the volunteer soldiers had already rushed to the top of the hill when they were in a hurry to react.

Our army's position is only a little more than 100 meters away from the position on the top of the mountain, and although it is an inclined plane, if you run fast, it is only a matter of tens of seconds.

Once the enemy and us come into contact, the US fighter planes will be powerless. The machine guns on the American fighters were very penetrating, and there were many more American troops on the hilltop positions than the volunteers, and once they fired, there was no doubt that they would kill more comrades than the enemy.

The "kill" fighters roared and rushed to the top of the hill.

As I walked through the smoke and dust of the forward position, I found that the hilltop position was full of American GIs, some of them were covered in blood and lifeless, some were lying on the ground and groaning, some were holding stumps and broken arms and yelling loudly, and some were dizzy and stood up, as if they wanted to raise their rifles to resist. But all this was in vain, for their steps were crooked like drunkards, and they could not even stand steadily......

Without hesitation, the soldiers raised their rifles and rushed towards these American troops who were powerless to resist.

It's not a fight, it's a massacre

Some people may think that we are cruel, some people may think that we can take them prisoner at this time, and some people may think that we have won the battle and do not need to kill them all like this......

But this is the battlefield, a bloody one.

If we don't kill them, they will find a way to kill us, and when they have the upper hand, they will not give me any chance at all, just as they have just 'fired' at us with fighter jets, machine guns, mortars.

So the sound of the blade entering the 'meat', the screams, and the moaning soon resounded in the position. The blood continued to stretch forward as the soldiers advanced, and in a short time it stained the positions, the bayonets, the faces and uniforms of the soldiers......

I've only killed one person since I stormed the hilltop position

I don't know if it's better to take it as an honor or a disgrace

I can take it as an honor, because no matter what, killing an enemy on the battlefield is honorable for a warrior. It doesn't matter what method or means he uses.

I can also take it as a disgrace, not because he is incapable of resisting, but because ...... I was scared

This is a bit ridiculous to me, because I haven't felt scared on the battlefield for a long time, even when facing an enemy who is many times larger than I have on Shangganling, even in the face of enemy planes, artillery and tanks, even in the face of enemy snipers...... I didn't feel scared at any of these times, although I was a little nervous and anxious, but I wasn't afraid

But...... When I plunged my bayonet into the stomach of the American soldier who was hiding on the ground, I watched him arch his whole body with the last bit of strength around my bayonet like a shrimp, as he gripped my rifle with both hands as if trying to pull it out, and watched him stare at the dead fish's eyes and the blood rushing out of his mouth...... Finally, he let go of his whole body and lay lifeless on the ground......

Then I was afraid, a fear from the depths of my heart, a fear of seeing the death and despair of my own making, a fear of feeling the pain of this American GI who died under my hands

So, in the ensuing battle, I no longer had the courage to stab my bayonet at any of the enemy. Actually, I didn't need to do this, because the fighters who followed me quickly got ahead of me and swung their bayonets at the enemy who was lying on the ground

By the time I forcibly pulled myself out of the fear I had just had, the battle was over. The battlefield was full of enemy corpses, bright red everywhere, and the heavy smell of blood and gunpowder smoke was mixed together and went straight to the nose, making people nauseous and nauseous

In this battle, about two companies of the American army lay on the hilltop position forever, and only a few dozen lucky ones escaped from the battlefield in time. The warriors tried to continue the pursuit, but I quickly stopped them.

On the side of the hilltop position close to the anticline of our army, most of them were 'shot' dead corners by the US troops on the 902.8 heights, which is also the reason why we carried out a massacre on the hilltop position, while the US snipers on the 902.8 heights were helpless. If we go a little further to hunt down the fleeing American troops, we will undoubtedly give them a chance to take revenge

I wouldn't be stupid enough to do this, so I immediately ordered the fighters to withdraw to the anticline position.

After returning to the position, Hu Biao happily flashed the bayonet in front of me and said: "Commander Cui, just a moment ago, I stabbed more than a dozen Yankees, and the bayonets were all bent......"

I looked at the US planes hovering overhead, felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "Leave a few observation posts, and all fighters withdraw to the tunnel"

"Yes" Hu Biao also knew what I was worried about, so he answered and passed on the order.

As expected, those US fighters may have wanted to save face for this fiasco, or they wanted to avenge the death of those US troops who died under our hands, and before we could withdraw from the tunnel, they dived down one after another, firing rows of bullets and dropping bombs at our positions. Fortunately, the anticline position was not far from the mouth of the tunnel, and the soldiers received an order to withdraw into the tunnel in advance, and withdrew to the tunnel without suffering many casualties.

"Captain Cui played well, wow"

"The head of the regiment has worked hard"

"Captain Cui drinks a glass of water"

……

As soon as I withdrew to the tunnel, Li Pinghe and the soldiers greeted me, and several people took the guns, handed the 'Mao' towel and the water, just like the heroes who welcomed the victorious return to the dynasty.

"Commander Cui" Liu Shunyi came up to me and reported: "Just now, Senior Commander Pang called to praise you, saying that you fought these two battles very cleanly and beautifully, and I hope you can continue to work hard and continue to fight this battle like this." He also said that even the agents of the People's Army who were in the camp of the puppet army risked their lives to send us telegrams saying that Van Vliet had lost his troops in these two failed attacks, and that he had already lost face in front of journalists and high-ranking officials from various countries, and that he had already lost his head in anger."

"Isn't that right?" Hu Biao, who came in with me, said from behind: "What's more, what kind of Van Vliet, the enemy who dares to fight with our regiment commander Cui and oppose our 538 regiment, will either be killed by us, or let us be angry to death."

There was a coax, and Hu Biao's words made the soldiers laugh.

Van Vliet was dizzy, it can be said to be a good thing or a bad thing" Laughing for a while, Li Pinghe pushed his glasses and said: "The good thing is that the enemy commander loses his due calm, and he will inevitably make mistakes on the battlefield." Bad...... I think this Van Vliet is going to be desperate and the pressure is going to be heavier."

"Political Commissar Li is right," Liu Shunyi agreed: "And it is very important that reporters from all over the world are watching this battle, which makes Van Vliet have to hold on." In the end, he was forced to put all the bets on the beast fight, so we seemed to be on the defensive, but in fact we were in an active position. As long as we can successfully defend it, we will be able to destroy and injure a large number of the enemy's vital forces, and to a certain extent, through those journalists, we will be able to demoralize the United Nations forces and even achieve a political victory in the international arena."

Listening to me, I couldn't help but be silent, Li Pinghe and Liu Shunyi were right, but I didn't think about it so much. At this time, I only thought about one thing, and that was to survive and win this battle
