"Bang! Two gunshots rang out from the direction of the mouth of the tunnel, and the sound of gunfire echoed happily in the tunnel, as if to report the victory to the soldiers in the tunnel.

"Hey! Let's take down a few more Yankees! "Isn't that right? Look at those Yankees who are still arrogant! ”

The soldiers who were resting in the tunnel began to talk about the gunshots.

Hiding in the tunnel to confront the enemy dozens of times the outside, coupled with the fact that the air in the tunnel is very thin, gives people a lot of psychological pressure. However, the soldiers were soon surprised to discover that retreating to the tunnel was not as terrible as they had imagined.

When I designed and constructed these tunnels, I considered many aspects, such as waterproofing, fire prevention, ventilation, anti-poisoning, etc.

In fact, whether the orientation of the tunnel mouth is correct and reasonable is the key to whether a tunnel can play a role on the battlefield. If the mouth of the tunnel is not oriented correctly, not only can it not protect the soldiers hidden in the tunnel, but it will give the enemy the opportunity to use poison gas, drop bombs, breathe fire, and release smoke. And if the orientation of a tunnel mouth is designed, the enemy will have to pay with his life to do this.

For example, most of these tunnel mouths in Shangganling are in the shape of "product" between each other. That is to say, as long as the fighters take the gun and lie down at the corner of the tunnel mouth, they can directly control the other two to three tunnel mouths with firepower. If the Yankees want to attack those tunnel mouths, they will be shining their backs in front of us.

In the same way, if the U.S. military wants to attack our tunnel mouth, it will also show its back in front of several other small tunnel entrances.

What's more, many of the tunnel entrances in Shangganling are under the fire control of the main peak of Wusheng Mountain.

On the positive slope of the main peak of Wusheng Mountain, there are also many tunnels of our army, and even some artillery positions. In addition, the main peak of Wusheng Mountain is very close to Shangganling, only about a thousand meters away, so we can also get fire support from Wusheng Mountain.

Although it was difficult for our troops on the Wusheng Mountain to see the enemy in Shangganling clearly because Shangganling was shrouded in smoke and dust, if the enemy was outnumbered, it would definitely be hit by a few mortar shells or machine-gun bullets from the Wusheng Mountain.

On the contrary, if the U.S. military wants to shoot us hiding in the tunnels, it will be even more difficult. It was dark inside the tunnel, and the American troops outside couldn't see us at all, so they couldn't aim. Grenades, explosives, and other things may pose some threats to us, but first, it is very difficult for the US military to accurately throw these things into the depths of the tunnels, and second, in order to prevent fire, our tunnels generally have a corner at a depth of several meters. Once an enemy drops explosives such as grenades into the tunnel. The soldiers lying at the mouth of the pit can easily dodge the bullets and shock 'waves' of explosives as long as they roll to the side.

In addition, I also considered that if explosives were thrown into the tunnel, the tunnel might collapse and the air in the tunnel would be insufficient, or that the tunnel mouth would be closed and unable to support other tunnels. Therefore, a special 'intersection' ditch is added at the mouth of the tunnel, and this 'intersection' ditch is actually a steep surface dug at a position of about one meter at the mouth of the tunnel, and an inclined ditch slightly larger than the explosives bag is connected below the surface to go straight to the outside of the tunnel. Normally, there was a plank on the steep face, which was removed as soon as the warriors retreated to the tunnel.

Because the mouth of the tunnel is relatively narrow, most of the enemy's explosives are dropped about one meter from the mouth of the tunnel. In addition, most of the U.S. military uses ovoid grenades, and the spherical shape determines that their rolling 'sex' is very good, so the thrown grenades will roll down the bare surface, and soon roll into the 'cross' ditch, and after a while, they will roll down the 'cross' ditch to the outside of the tunnel, and then, "Boom." It exploded outside the tunnel.

I think that at this time, the U.S. military will definitely be wondering: they have obviously thrown the grenade into the tunnel, why does this thing still explode outside the tunnel, is the legendary Chinese kung fu real? Can a Chinese soldier find the black grenades so quickly in the dark tunnels, and then conjure them out with a great shift?

The intricate terrain and the mutually supportive tunnel openings made it impossible for the US military to attack us hidden in the tunnels. At this time, they seem to have triumphantly occupied the two heights, but there is nothing they can do about us. Even the area near the mouth of the tunnel is designated as a high-risk area and they dare not approach, otherwise a bullet will fly out somewhere and take their 'life'.

And we. But it's like a time bomb buried under them, which could rush out and kill them at any time.

The soldiers were sniping at the mouth of the tunnel, but I didn't have that leisure, and I had to prepare more for the night.

"It would be nice if we could support it with some artillery fire." Looking at the map on the desktop, I couldn't help but frown.

The highlands are numbered as old positions: along the two ridges, a front triangle is formed, which is divided into 8 positions, that is, the northwest ridge is numbered as positions 6, 4" from back to front, and the northeast ridge is numbered as positions 2, 8" and 3 from back to front, and position 3 is the apex of the front triangle and is the main peak. In the southwest of the No. 3 position is the old position, the front of the No. 3 position is the old position, its southwest is the old position, the small old is the old position, the northeast of the old position is the small village of Buganling, there is a mountain road in the small side, and the east of the highway is the North Mountain of the 7 Highlands.

To put it simply, the positions on the Sukekou Heights and the Mi-7 Heights were 'intertwined' together, forming a defensive depth.

In such a situation, even if we were able to attack it unprepared and take a few high ground in the front row at the beginning, it would soon arouse the vigilance of the enemy behind. Although their fortifications were nothing more than "open" fire forts made of sandbags, steel plates, and wood, they still had to pay a considerable price to capture under the defense of American flares, machine guns, flamethrowers, mortars and other weapons.

These problems could be easily solved if there was artillery support. After all, these are 'open' sky firepower forts, as long as the coordinates and directions are correct, the firepower points that we had to pay a considerable price to capture can be solved with just a few shells.

But where do we get the artillery support now? All the artillery of the whole army was facing the direction of the western mountain, and some of them were just a dozen 'guns' of mountain artillery prepared by Regiment Commander Zhang temporarily. Let's not talk about whether these dozen 'doors' mountain cannons can play a role, and we have completely broken off our connection with the Five Holy Mountains now. Needless to say, the phone line has long been known to be called. The walkie-talkies urgently sent by the regiment could not receive signals in the tunnel, and some telephone soldiers secretly stretched their antennas out of the tunnel, but they were soon blown up by the Yankees outside.

Although Shangganling is only a kilometer away from Wusheng Mountain, and it will take a few minutes to reach it if you run fast, but there is no way to get in touch. The inability to contact means that we cannot report the coordinates of the enemy's fire forts to the artillery during the battle, and we will not be able to receive fire assistance from the rear artillery.

That's when I realized that the transmission of information on the battlefield was really much more important than I imagined. For example, now, whether a piece of information can be transmitted to the rear in a timely and accurate manner almost determines whether the *** can win this time and the casualties are large

"Hey! It's a lot of fun! I was thinking about it, but I saw Miao Huaizhi walking in with a still smoking rifle, and he said excitedly while patting the dirt on his body: "Chief of Staff, these tunnels you have made are really powerful, and the Yankees are out there for us to fight."

"Look at you like that!" Looking at Miao Huaizhi's appearance, Instructor Qin, who was assisting me on the side, couldn't help but quip: "I said Company Commander Miao, why do you say that your face will change!" I was reluctant just now, but now I'm happy to be like this?.

"Can you not be happy?" Miao Huaizhi smiled: "I started to think that if we retreat into this tunnel, we won't be able to fight devils, right?" Who would have thought that it would still be the same fight, and the devil would hit one when he came out. Let's hide in this tunnel and be happy! You didn't see it! The Yankees were so angry that their eyes were green

Instructor Qin replied angrily: "Don't use your brain when you speak!" Those Yankees have green eyes, aren't they? small

There was a coax, and all the surrounding warriors were amused by this conversation.

"Instructor Qin!" My screams silenced the audience. "Yes!" Instructor Qin was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood in front of me.

"I want to contact the regiment headquarters, is there a way?

"Chief of Staff!" Instructor Qin hesitated for a moment. He replied, "Can you wait until it gets dark?" Now it's broad daylight. The enemy is staring out of the tunnel! ”

"Hmm". I nodded: "The situation is such that we will launch an attack on the enemy's position at seven o'clock in the evening, and in order to get artillery support from the rear, we must get in touch with the regimental headquarters before that, plus the artillery unit will have time to make some necessary preparations, so it cannot exceed six o'clock at the latest." Is there a way to do it?

"Chief of Staff" Instructor Qin said with some embarrassment: "It's autumn now, and it's getting dark late!" It's still bright at six o'clock! This is only afraid that the "difficulty" is small

"Hmm!" Listening to Instructor Qin's words, I was also a little helpless.

Instructor Qin was right, and what he was worried about was the reason why I was embarrassed. Although the US forces have no way to take us from the outside, they will of course cut off the communication between the tunnel and the outside world if they occupy a surface position, and it is really not difficult to do this, as long as a few 'strong' machine guns are erected and a few 'guns' are placed. So going out before it gets dark is almost like committing suicide!

"Chief of Staff". Instructor Qin thought about it and suggested, "Or" should we postpone the time of the attack? ”

"It's not good to delay the attack." I shook my head: "I have also thought about this idea, the later we attack, the better prepared the enemy will be, and the more difficult it will be for us to take the enemy down in one breath while they are not firmly established!" ”

"Chief of Staff! Let me go! At this time, a telephone soldier stood in front of me.

"You're going? Do you have a way to get in touch with the regimental headquarters? I couldn't help but say in doubt: "Little comrade, your courage is commendable, but senseless sacrifice is also undesirable

"Chief of Staff!" The telephone soldier once again 'stood up' and said: "I am confident that I will complete the mission!" I'm a telephone soldier, and I go out with a roll of phone cord and pull the cord as I run. It is easy for the enemy to hit me, but it is difficult to hit the telephone line. I can't do it alone, so the other comrades will continue to pull the line down, it's only a thousand meters away from Wusheng Mountain, isn't it? Try a few more times, and there will always be a success: "One, one, I may not have to run back to Wusheng Mountain." There are a lot of phone lines in this Lubu, I know their location very well, just find a phone line that has been blown up, and connect them on the road can complete the task, right? ”

Listening to the words of this telephone soldier, I and the tenacious guide couldn't help but be stunned.

He said it was easy, and if you try a few more times, you will always succeed once. But we all know that every attempt means the loss of the life of a volunteer soldier.

However, there is no denying that this is a viable approach. At least he has a much better chance of success than others,

"Chief of Staff! Give the order! When we hesitated, the telephone soldier couldn't wait to put a roll of telephone wire on his back.

O calf! What are you in a hurry? Instructor Qin stopped: "Even if the chief of staff is willing to let you go, then you have to wait until the sky is dark, right?" This is the time to go."

"Instructor, I think it's the right time to go." The telephone soldier, known as Maverick, tightened the telephone line on his body: "The enemy did not expect that I would break out in this broad daylight, just beyond the enemy's expectations. Besides. It wasn't completely dark at six o'clock, and the enemy of my size would still be visible, but then I couldn't see the telephone line

"Hmm!" Instructor Qin was speechless when Niu said this.

I also nodded, secretly praising this phone soldier is really not simple, and he can think about it so carefully in such a short time. This made me a little reluctant, because I knew that there was a chance that I would not be able to come back after this mission, and I didn't find out before a soldier like him."

"Chief of Staff! Do you agree? Looking at me again, the calf couldn't help but ask excitedly.

"Hmm". I hesitated. Actually, at this time, I really wanted to give this task to others. But it was really not suitable to use his suggestion and replace him on the spot, so he had to nod and say: "This task will be 'handed over' to you!" But just wait, and when I think about what to tell the regiment headquarters! ”

"Yes!" The calf saluted me excitedly, and stood by with a face full of 'excitement' and excitement.

I couldn't help but glance at this lovely warrior, I really didn't understand it in my heart, and at the same time I didn't understand, this is obviously a mission to go and no return, why is he like this,

Alas! No, with the eyes of a modern person, I simply cannot understand these fighters. Plus time doesn't allow either. So I quickly turned my gaze to the map on my desktop.

The reason why I need time to figure out what to say to the regiment headquarters is to pass on the most important information to the regiment headquarters in the shortest possible time. Because I know very well that even if the telephone soldier Maverick can succeed, the contact we get with the regimental headquarters will be very short-lived.

When you want to fight on the battlefield, it is no longer possible to get artillery support from the regimental headquarters in real time. We can only make an appointment with the regimental headquarters for one time now. But we don't have the coordinates of the enemy's firing point at all.

By the way, you can pass the code name of the position to the regimental headquarters. Our positions, in fact, are the various heights on the surface positions, on which the enemy's firing points must also be located. Regiment Commander Zhang moved the mountain artillery to Wushengzhi. When he went up, he ordered all the mountain artillery to build a position with Shangganling as the target. That is to say, the artillery of the Five Holy Mountains must have the coordinates of our various heights. As long as I give the code name of the highland to the regimental headquarters, they will know where to blow up! Then time is silent

Now I'm going to have a hard time, it's too short! It is quite possible that before we broke through the enemy's forward positions, the artillery was already bombarding the targets behind, and this was obviously not very effective. However, if the time is set too long, it is very likely that when we break through to the enemy's forward positions, we will not dare to continue because the artillery fire from the other side has not come, which means that our troops will have to wait under the enemy's fire, which will undoubtedly bring great casualties to our army".

After thinking about it, I finally decided to make the time shorter, so as to at least ensure the continuity of our army's charge. It is better to let the artillery fire be fired earlier, and we must not be allowed to stop and wait for our artillery fire in the course of the charge.

"That's it!" After thinking about it, I raised my head and walked over to the calf, patted him on the shoulder, and asked with difficulty, "Are you ready?" ”

"Report to the Chief of Staff!" The calf 'straightened' up with vigour, and replied loudly: "It's ready, just wait for your order"

"Hmm!" I nodded, untied the rifle from his shoulder, and said, "Don't bring the gun, it will be faster to run, and there are grenades."

"No, Chief of Staff!" I was about to untie his grenade pouch, but the calf stopped me, "Chief of Staff, leave me a grenade!" I don't want to be a prisoner of devils! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, tears couldn't help but moisten my eyes, I hurriedly turned my head away, and at the same time gritted my teeth and tried not to let the tears fall.

After a long while, I made up my mind, gritted my teeth and said two words: "Go!" ”

"Yes". The calf saluted me, turned and ran out of the tunnel.

Looking at the back of the calf, I couldn't help but nod silently.

This is a real soldier!
