"Li Baocheng! Command the battle! I turned around and shouted at Li Baocheng, who was lying on the No. 7 position not far away.

"Yes!" Li Baocheng answered, and without saying a word, he climbed over the trench and climbed to where I was.

As the commander of the ace unit and company, I am still relieved of his command ability. So braving the hail of bullets, he turned around with his rifle and ran towards the tunnel.

The North Mountain of the 537.7 Heights is much smaller than the 597.9 Heights, so there are relatively few tunnels here, and I am not very familiar with the terrain of this Heights, so it took me a while to 'touch' the mouth of the tunnels in the dark.

"Signal Soldier! The communications corpsman ......: "As soon as I ran into the tunnel, I shouted anxiously.

"Who are you?" A few of the warriors looked at me suspiciously in the dim light, which made me realize that most of the fighters in the tunnel were new reinforcements, and they hadn't come to know me in a hurry!

"Chief of Staff!" Just when I was in trouble, Cheng Yuanqing came up with a hand tied with a bandage, and after being stunned, he shouted into the tunnel: "Quick, walkie-talkie!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as Cheng Yuanqing said this, the other soldiers in the tunnel had no doubts, and quickly handed the walkie-talkie to me.

"Captain Zhang!" As soon as I got through, I shouted into the microphone, "How is the battle situation in the 597.9 Heights?" Our army was suppressed by the 597.9 Heights No. 11 position and the side of the fire of the Nanshan Mountain, and the casualties were very large! ”

"Chief of Staff!" Regiment Commander Zhang on the other end of the phone also said anxiously: "The attacking troops on the 597.9 heights are not familiar with the terrain, and most of them are new recruits, and now they are blocked in the No. 13 and No. 14 positions, and there is no way to take the No. 11 position for the time being, you hold on a little longer!" As for the note 'hole' Nanshan...... I'll send a force to feint and try to attract their firepower! ”

"I can't go on like this!" I said anxiously: "Commander Zhang, if the flank fire is not resolved, there is no way to hold on to the 537.7 heights." I propose to send a force to attack the 597.9 heights in front and rear, restore the surface positions of the 597.9 heights as quickly as possible, and solve the worries of the 537.7 heights! ”

Head Zhang on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "This idea is very good, but I have a suggestion!" Most of the new troops were new recruits, who had never fought on Shangganling, and it was difficult for them to exert their combat effectiveness if they were not familiar with the terrain. So this time it's best to ask you eight in a row! ”

"Understood!" As soon as I got Commander Zhang's consent, I immediately hung up the phone and shouted, "Where are the new company commanders?" ”

Soon two volunteer soldiers came up to me and saluted:

"Wang Feng, commander of the 2nd Company of the 134th Regiment, reports!"

"Xie Changbin, commander of the 5th Company of the 134th Regiment, reports! Because the tunnel is too small, the 9th Company lurks at the foot of the mountain and is on standby! ”

"You ......" At this time, I didn't care about what to think about, in fact, I didn't know anything about these two companies at all, and I didn't have anything to think about, so I casually pointed to a company commander and ordered: "Wang Feng is it!" Immediately take the troops up to replace the eighth company, and let the commander of the eighth company, Li Baocheng, report to me! ”

"Yes!" Wang Feng, the commander of the 2nd Company, answered, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled a platoon of soldiers out of the tunnel.

"Chief of Staff!" Cheng Yuanqing, who was on the side, stood in front of me, raised his bandaged right hand and said, "Chief of Staff, my company is still on top!" I'm just so injured, and I can still get on the battlefield, do you see if it's ......"

I said angrily: "You are injured in your right hand, how can you shoot when you go to the battlefield?" How to throw a grenade? ”

"If I can't shoot a gun, I can still throw a grenade, right?" Cheng Yuanqing was still unwilling, and continued to demand: "Chief of Staff, let me go!" It's a big deal that I don't do anything, just command from the position! My company is on top, and I, I can't sit still in the tunnel. It's like a needle prick......"

Looking at Cheng Yuanqing's anxiety from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help but be silent.

Everyone knows what the battlefield is like, especially the current 537.7 heights, which are suppressed by condescending fire from three sides, and bullets may 'fire' from any direction. In such a situation, even a battle-hardened veteran is unable to protect himself.

Cheng Yuanqing had just come down from the position, and he wouldn't have been unaware of this. If it were me, I would be glad that I was injured and didn't have to go to this dangerous battlefield again. But people in this era don't think like this, Cheng Yuanqing doesn't think like this, and other volunteer soldiers don't think like this......

What more can I say? I only patted Cheng Yuanqing on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Go ahead!" Be sure to come back alive! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yuanqing responded excitedly, grabbed a few grenades in the *** box next to him with his only remaining left hand, and couldn't wait to run out of the tunnel.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help but shake my head helplessly. Just now, this guy said that he would command the position without doing anything, and as soon as he turned around, he grabbed a grenade and went up!

"Chief of Staff!" After a while, Li Baocheng stood in front of me with the soldiers of the Eighth Company covered in dust and blood.

Li Baocheng's expression was very calm, he didn't ask anything, just waited for me to give an order.

This was somewhat unexpected, and if it was other company commanders, it would be strange that I had withdrawn them from the battlefield so suddenly, and he was not in a hurry with me.

But think about it, this Li Baocheng really doesn't need to be in a hurry. The Eighth Company is now the only company among so many companies in Shangganling that has combat experience and is familiar with the terrain. The so-called good steel is used on the blade, and I must have a more important task when I called them down. This Li Baocheng is also a smart person, of course he will think of this.

That's the benefit of working with smart people, without too much nonsense.

But I have a 'problem' with this person, when I have time, I will think about what to say in advance, and I can express my meaning 'precisely', and my words can be as concise as possible. This time is no exception, I thought about how to explain to him before Li Baocheng came, but I didn't expect it......

Alas! It's really uncomfortable to hold this belly in my heart, which may also be the disadvantage of working with smart people!

In order to save time, I didn't say much after all, I took off the kerosene lamp and put it on the ground, took out the map from my pocket and spread it out next to it, pointed to a point on the map and said: "Our target is here, position 11!" The task is to cooperate with the troops of the 597.9 heights to quickly restore the surface positions and remove the fire suppression of the 11th position on the 537.7 heights! ”

"Understood!" Li Baocheng squatted on the ground and looked at the map, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

I know what Li Baocheng is worried about, and the front and back flanking 597.9 heights sounds like a perfect plan, but in reality it is not.

The narrowest part of the ridge leading from Heights 537.7 to Heights 597.9 is just over a meter wide, and it is well below Position 11 at Heights 597.9. In principle, as long as the enemy has one man on position No. 11 and a machine gun, our troops have no way to pose a threat to them. This is also the reason why Commander Zhang did not consider taking the 537.7 heights and attacking the 597.9 heights after taking the 597.9 heights when formulating the battle plan.

I also know this situation, but now I have no choice, so I have to grit my teeth and say: "Because the road is narrow, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we will use a sneak attack first, and then attack when we are discovered!" Questions? ”

"No problem!"

"Let's go!"

Time is of the essence, and one more minute of delay at this time means that a few more fighters will be sacrificed on the battlefield. Li Baocheng was also very aware of this, so he led the soldiers out of the tunnel with a wave of his hand.

I checked my rifle under the kerosene lamp and followed the flow of people out of the tunnel.

Guns roared, and the whistling of bullets and shrapnel flew in my ears from time to time. As soon as I got out of the tunnel, the rare moment of silence and safety was over. Although it wasn't always quiet or safe in the tunnel, I still felt like I had fallen into hell from a fairyland on earth.

Following the warriors on the anti-slope all the way to the right flank, they came to the mountain in a short time. This mountain ridge is also the legendary Sniper Ridge, because it is facing the highway of the US army, and this road is also an important supply line of the US army, so when I organized the cold gun troops to fight cold guns here, I often ambushed on this mountain ridge. It used to be an umbrella for us to snipe at the enemy. But now, it has become an insurmountable obstacle for us!

"Up!" As soon as Li Baocheng waved his hand, five soldiers grabbed grenades and blasting canisters and crawled towards the No. 11 position opposite, which was spewing tongues of fire.

Li Baocheng's decision is wise, if you want to sneak attack the enemy's position, you can't have a large number of people, and a large number of people means that it is easier to *** the target. At the same time, the area of the No. 11 position is not large, and there are few troops stationed there by the puppet army, and the large number of people is useless.

The five warriors crept silently up the ridge, and the enemy on Position 11 apparently focused all their attention on the 537.7 heights, not noticing the few fighters slowly approaching them.

This mountain range is not long, the distance in a straight line is only three or four hundred meters, but after a bend in the middle, the actual distance is longer. Watching the vague backs of the soldiers approaching the enemy position little by little, my palms were also sweating. Because I know that the success of the first warriors lurking in the past is crucial. Once this group of fighters fails to blow up the enemy's firepower, it will startle the enemy and make the enemy have defense, and then it will be even more difficult to capture the 11th position!

The figures of the warriors faded into the smoke, and I raised my rifle and looked through the scope in the direction of the ridge, but saw nothing but darkness and looming smoke.

So I could only wait on the ground gradually, and the fighters were also waiting, and no one knew what the result would be, they could only be ready to charge!

Time passed little by little, and the puppet army still didn't notice it, and a few 'Ting' machine guns still sent out tongues of fire towards the 537.7 height**.

Suddenly, in a very fortuitous circumstance, perhaps the puppet military intelligence that fired the 'firing' flares missed in a hurry, and one of the flares was hitting the sky over the No. 11 position...... Several puppet machine gunners immediately appeared in our sight. I secretly screamed, "Oh no! ”

There must have been many fighters lurking in the position who aimed their rifles and machine guns at the puppet army on position No. 11, but because the puppet army could not aim in the dark. Now with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they will definitely pull the trigger without thinking.

As expected, as soon as my mind arose, a gunshot rang out next to me. Several puppet soldiers on Position 11 fell in response......

I couldn't help but sigh, although the marksmanship of the soldiers was good, although they also hit those puppet soldiers, what they didn't expect was that if they hit those puppet troops, they would be startled. At this time, the few warriors who had lurked in the past may not be ready. This means that the puppet army will soon find out about them.

Under my helpless gaze, the puppet army that replaced me quickly turned his attention to the mountains, searching for suspicious targets on the mountains......

"Bang bang ......" a few gunshots, these two shots were fired by me. Now that the puppet army has been alerted, I don't have to worry about it anymore. A few bullets passed, and the three puppet soldiers who had just been replaced fell into the position without a lack of shortage. The other puppet soldiers were obviously aware that there were snipers staring at them, so they didn't dare to come out easily.

But as the light of the flares slowly faded, I was powerless to lose my target!

"Teng!" Another flare, but this flare was aimed at the mountains. Before I could see anything, the enemy's machine guns rang out again, and the blood flashed, and the soldiers who were crawling forward fell one after another in a pool of blood.

This is an inevitable result, and it is actually very easy to find a few people on a ridge more than a meter wide under the light of flares.

"Fuck it!" Li Baocheng scolded fiercely and yelled: "Machine gun cover, rush me!" ”

The sound of machine guns soon rang out, and without saying a word, a dozen fighters jumped up from their hiding places and rushed towards the enemy position. But it's a pity that the puppet army is in the shadows, and the machine gunners of our army have no target at all...... So I heard a scream, and the dozen or so soldiers who rushed forward fell in a pool of blood without exception.

"Go up to the ...... again" Li Baocheng waved his hand, and was about to let another group of people go up, but I stopped him.

"You can't fight like this!" I stopped: "We can't let the soldiers rush up like this and die in vain!" ”

"But the Chief of Staff! What else can be done if you don't fight like this? Li Baocheng was also a little frustrated.

"There must be a way!" I raised my rifle and looked at the narrow ridge in front of me, and suddenly it felt a little familiar.

That's right! It's that channel!

The passage connecting Heights 537.7 to Heights 597.9 was dug from under this ridge. Since we are going to pass, why can't we pass through the passage?

Thinking of this, I silently wrote down the curved shape of the mountain while the light of the enemy's flares had not yet dimmed. Then he ordered Li Baocheng: "The plan has changed, use a small part of the force to attract enemy fire here, and the others will come with me!" ”

"Yes!" Li Baocheng answered, although he didn't know what kind of 'medicine' I was selling in my gourd, but he still meticulously arranged a few machine gunners here, and then followed me with other soldiers.

Returning to the tunnel with the soldiers, I grabbed a shovel and plunged into the passage to Heights 597.9.

"Chief of Staff!" This time, even a smart person like Li Baocheng couldn't help it, he crawled behind me, and asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?" Do you want to go back to the 597.9 heights to fight? ”

"Come along!" I didn't dare to talk much, because at this time I had the terrain of the mountains in my mind, and I was afraid that I would forget about it if I was interrupted by such a disturbance.

As I climbed forward, I printed the bends of the mountains and the bends of the passages. Only then will it be possible to know where the enemy's position No. 11 is and determine where to dig up. I don't want to go through all the hardships and find myself facing the enemy's bayonets, or only to find that I have reached my own position......

It is not easy to determine this position in this dark passage, first of all, its movement is already different from the terrain of the mountains, and secondly, it is not easy to determine what kind of bending method this passage is in the passage. But fortunately, I remember that there was a big bend in the ridge in front of Position 11. So, I climbed forward for more than ten meters and decided on the location of the construction.

"Here!" I managed to turn around in the narrow passage with great effort, and even used a shovel, and then pointed to the top of my head and said to Li Baocheng: "Dig up from here, let the soldiers behind you line up, and transport the soil out one by one!" Move fast! ”

"What? Dig up? Li Baocheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but quickly figured it out, and responded happily, and started without saying a word.

Li Bao is worthy of being the company commander of the ace army, that is called Kong Wu is powerful, he waved the shovel loudly, and the soil on the top of his head fell down in large pieces, and after a while, Li Bao became a "soil man". But he didn't care, still digging desperately with a shovel. The warriors in the passage also cooperated with each other, one by one to carry the earth back.

The outside world is full of gunfire, and there is a struggle in the passage like ants moving.

"Stop!" Looking at me, I felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped Li Baocheng, whose upper body had already drilled into the top passage, and said: "I said Company Commander Li, do you want to bury yourself by digging like this or what?" Gotta dig into the slope! ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers in the pit burst out laughing.

Li Baocheng is right to think about it, if he digs up so straight, when he is about to dig through, it will be strange if the soil on it collapses and he doesn't bury himself!

So he smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't dug a tunnel, so I don't have any experience, so I'll correct it!" ”

As he spoke, he swung his shovel again......
