For three days, the soldiers and the puppet army fought for the mouth of the tunnel.

Since we have used mortars to resist the destruction of the puppet army, and since Sun Changlu and others have become more and more proficient in 'shooting' mortar attacks, and the accuracy of 'precision' has become higher and higher, the puppet army is also helpless against our method of fighting fast and walking quickly. As a result, there are fewer and fewer pit openings that they can blow up. And we're digging more and more tunnels. Eventually, almost all the tunnels were dug up by the warriors.

During these days of fighting, the fighters fought the enemy outside in the tunnels. Therefore, the casualties were not large, only a dozen people were killed or injured at the mouth of the tunnel. I am glad that because of my preparations, the difficult situation when Shangganling held the tunnel did not appear.

For example, the extreme lack of water in the tunnels; The logistics troops disregarded the danger to their lives and carried water into the tunnels, so that they fell under the guns of the enemy in batches; The hygienist spent the whole day collecting the water that dripped from the crevices of the rocks, just so that the wounded could take a few sips, "All of this didn't happen because of the water I stored in the invincible tunnel."

So I thought, maybe because of my appearance, the touching story of "The Story of a Little Apple" that happened in the Shangganling tunnel will not appear in our primary school textbooks, and the hero Balian may lose a lot of heroes because of this.

But who cares? The most important thing is to save the lives of some volunteer soldiers.

On this day, I had just returned from a walk around the various pit entrances when I received a telegram from the correspondent that read: "*** Time: 22:25, target. No., No. 4, No. 3, No. 8, the slogan old position! ”

I quickly understood that the battle plan I had drawn up was approved by my superiors: "The two positions of No. 4 and No. 4 were immediately to the right of the No. 3 position of the main peak, apparently to cover the right flank of the No. 3 main peak position. Position 3 is the main peak, and capturing it allows you to provide cover for the rest of the position. The old positions of No. 8 and No. 3 were on the left side of the No. 3 position, and they were to block the enemy attacking on the left!

It's really going to be ***!

After determining the *** time, I couldn't help but feel a feeling of leaping 'desire' in my heart, although I knew that the battle in front of me would definitely be a vicious battle.

I think I'm not the only one, but the fighters would have cheered if they heard the news. These days, the soldiers are also about to get sick in the tunnel, and if they hear that they are going to be *** tonight, where is there any reason to be unhappy.

At this time, there was a sudden whistling of cannonballs in the sky, and then there were bursts of explosions and vibrations overhead, only to hit the earth and rocks in the tunnel, and there was a "chaos" in the west, and the oil lamp was also shaken to the ground, and the tunnel was immediately dark.

It must be the Volunteer Army!

Now there is only the enemy on the surface position, and unless the enemy goes crazy, he will never go up to Ganling. But didn't it say that the attack time was at 10:25 p.m.? How do you start now?

I couldn't help but take out my pocket watch and turn on the flashlight to shine a photo, it was only twelve o'clock at noon! It's still daylight outside, and our army won't start preparing for artillery fire so early!

Could it be that our artillery is killing and destroying the puppet army of the tunnel?

It's impossible! Although it is only separated by a thousand meters, because of the thick smoke and dust, the situation in Shangganling cannot be seen from the rear at all. In normal times, the artillery is based on the coordinates we reported in the past.

"Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff: "It's not just me who is surprised by this, as soon as this cannon sounds, a group of anxious fighters soon surround the outside of the headquarters.

"Chief of Staff! What's going on? Miao Huaizhi was the most anxious, and as soon as he ran in, he happily asked, "Is it *** about to start?" ”

I didn't answer, but found a kerosene lamp in the darkness and lit it, allowing the tunnel to shine again. The expectant faces of the soldiers beside me appeared in front of me.

"Comrades!" I raised the telegram in my hand and said, "The superior ordered us to begin a counterattack on Position No. 4 at 10:25 p.m. The number of positions, comprehensive ***, will start soon! ”

As soon as my words fell, the whole tunnel suddenly boiled into cheers, and the soldiers could no longer suppress their joy. Some held their guns high and applauded. Some immediately grabbed a few grenades from the *** box and stuffed them into their waists.

The lightly wounded were busy arranging their bandages and bandaging themselves and trying to go to the battlefield in the best possible condition, and even the seriously wounded struggled to get up. For a while, the tunnel was as lively as the New Year's holiday, and the cheers even overshadowed the rumbling cannons outside the tunnel......

"Chief of Staff!" After a while, Li Baocheng asked with some doubts: "Just now, you said, "It starts at 10:25 in the evening***?" "Hmm!" I nodded.

"The current cannon sounds"

"I don't know!" I shook my head with a wry smile, thought about it, and then turned around and asked the correspondent: "Xiao Zhao, are you sure that the telegram is not wrong?" ”

Correspondent Xiao Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and quickly picked up a book and flipped through a string of numbers for a while, and after a while, he 'stood up' in front of me and replied: "Report to the chief of staff, and make sure there is no mistake!" ”

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng was still a little uneasy, and asked: "Look, do we want to confirm with our superiors!" ”

"No!" I shook my head and replied, "The time of the attack determined by the superiors was around half past ten in the evening, and it was at night at that time, so it makes sense to launch *** at this time." If we talk to our superiors too often in the heart.... On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the enemy, and the danger of being monitored by the enemy is very important at this time***, there will inevitably be his reason, let's wait patiently! All units immediately went back to prepare for a counterattack, and it was 10:25 tonight, yes. Position No. 4 and Position No. 4 launched ***".

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and one by one they returned to their tunnels.

At first, I thought that the cannon would stop after a while, but to my surprise, after more than a while, the sound of the cannon outside the tunnel was still tight. After more than 10 days of preparation, our artillery unit has accumulated a large number of shells, and they want to use this kind of long-term bombing to destroy as many fortifications as possible by the US army and the puppet army on the surface positions in Shangganling, and may even have the intention of destroying the enemy's will to fight.

If a unit is under enemy fire for a long time, the weak-willed enemy is likely to lose the will to resist and may even collapse. For this . The experience of our volunteer soldiers is quite profound. I've seen many volunteer soldiers become crazy under U.S. artillery fire."

Sure enough, after waiting for more than an hour, and after waiting for more than an hour, the sound of artillery still did not stop. Until more than four hours. When the sky gradually darkened, the sound of the cannon slowly slowed down.

"Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff" row, when I lamented that the artillery fire of the Volunteer Army was gradually becoming fierce, suddenly several soldiers ran into the headquarters and reported to me anxiously: "Chief of Staff." The artillery fire has been extended, and there seems to be a bright light of signal flares in the direction of Wusheng Mountain! Isn't it *** time? ”

"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned and didn't think much about it, so I pulled out my 'legs' and ran in the direction of the mouth of the pit.

When I ran to the mouth of the tunnel and looked out, sure enough, just as the soldier said, there was still the whistling of shells in the sky, but the sound of explosions had extended to the depth of the enemy. Through the layers of smoke and dust, the red light of several signal flares flickered faintly in the direction of Wusheng Mountain. After a while, what surprised me even more was that there was a loud charge and a shout of killing from behind the smoke.

"Chief of Staff". At this time, Miao Huaizhi, Li Baocheng and others came up again, and Miao Huaizhi said anxiously: "Chief of Staff, this is the beginning of the big army, let's go too!" If it's too late, the fighter will be lost! ”

"Let's all go back!" I listened sideways for a while, and then smiled and said, "All go back and get ready, and order the soldiers not to rush out of the tunnel."

"Staff Knowledge"

"Obey orders!" I accentuated my tone, and the warriors reluctantly dispersed.

This is a ploy set up by our army! The purpose of the day is to trick the enemy out of shelter and then kill and injure the enemy in large numbers. I could hear it from the shouts of the soldiers just now, and it wasn't the sound of running and shouting at all. I remember using this trick before, and I didn't think it would happen again on the battlefield now.

I'm not worried that the puppet army will not be fooled, the U.S. military can have no purpose, but as a volunteer army with very difficult logistical supply, there will be infantry rushing up almost every time. This time, our army fired artillery for more than four hours in a row, so even the soldiers guarding the tunnel thought that this must be the beginning of the big ***.

What's more, most of the time when our army launched a general offensive was chosen at dusk, so that the fight could get darker and darker, and there would be a whole night of night fighting. Therefore, the puppet army, which has fought a war with the Volunteer Army for two years, will naturally think that our army is going to launch a general offensive. But when they hurriedly ran out of the shelter to repair the fortifications, they found that,

"Boom". I was just thinking about it when there was another earth-shattering bombardment overhead, and I quickly shrank my head into the pit and ducked back.

This time, it was not long, only fifteen minutes, and I waited at the corner of the tunnel to see the show, and then I found that the artillery fire began to extend again, but this time there was no shouting of killing, and at the same time there was no bright light from the charge horn and signal flares.

Boy!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly praise, I know the exact *** time, of course, I know that these two times are fake. But the enemy of the puppet army will not think so. They will think that the last time it was a lie, this time it should really be attacked! The best thing is that this time the soldiers didn't shout or scream, there was no movement at all, which made the puppet army mistakenly think that the volunteers wanted to sneak 'touch' and 'touch' up, so they drilled out of the cover again and entered the position, but it was another scam"

The so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, and I think it is nothing more than this! It seems that the superiors have made a lot of use of this battle.

Sure enough, in the case of the puppet army being unprepared. The artillery fire came back again. This time, it was a 10-minute rapid 'shooting', and the shells were dense like raindrops, and they could hit the entire Ganling position. The heads were all ringing, gravel and scorched earth were flying everywhere, and the army was just beaten.

But this torture was not over, and in the following hours, our artillery units bombarded the enemy's positions from time to time. Sometimes there is a shout of killing, sometimes there is no shouting of killing, and sometimes even a small force will be sent to cooperate with the extension of artillery fire while firing while rushing up to Shangganling, and when the enemy runs out of the fortifications to defend, the troops suddenly retreat back and another artillery fire.

There are a few times that this is true or false, and there is no need to think about it, the defenders on the high ground have already suffered most of the casualties without us taking action.

This reminds me of the story of "The Wolf" told by my teacher when I was a child. I think that when we actually launched the investigation, the puppet army might think that we were lying to them!

Later I learned that, according to the reports of our scouts hiding near the road, after this shelling, the corpses carried by the enemy were loaded into thirty trucks.

What made me realize more deeply was that I understood from this bombardment that our army's artillery had finally matured after days of war tests, and that the use of artillery fire was reasonable and 'precise'.

What I know is that the comparison between our army and the US army in the number of artillery pieces has shrunk from the old one at the beginning of the campaign to the one at the beginning of the campaign, and there has been great progress in the organization and command of artillery fire.

Yang Feiluo, a mortar who used to work in the artillery unit, told me that our army's artillery now divides all artillery into five artillery groups according to the 'firing' range, adopts a second-line scattered configuration, and is under the unified command of the army's artillery command post. In addition, a unified code for the divisions of the positions was drawn up so that the 'shooting' attacks could be carried out quickly and accurately. Each type of artillery is also given different missions according to its "sexuality": howitzers and cannons are responsible for suppressing enemy artillery fire and destroying enemy fortifications. striking at the enemy's second echelon; Rocket artillery mainly kills and injures the enemy's artillery fire and vital forces in depth by 'firing' at an area; mortars are used in a mobile manner to intercept the enemy's group's charge and 'shoot' at dead corners that are difficult for other artillery to strike.

At this time, the volunteer army has developed from the initial millet plus rifle equipment to now has the ability to defend the frontal battlefield with the United Nations! ※ ※※

At 22:20, only five minutes before the *** time, it was surprisingly quiet on Shangganling.

Beginning at 12 o'clock at noon today, our army fired artillery at the two heights of Shangganling intermittently for 10 hours, and in just one day, I think the artillery of the Chinese Volunteers poured tens of thousands of shells into the front of the position.

These shells once again blew up Shangganling into a cloud of smoke, and almost nothing could be seen outside the mouth of the tunnel, and even the light of the enemy's searchlight could only leave a faint glow like a flashlight on the thick smoke.

Watching the hands on the pocket watch jump back and forth, I couldn't help but frown.

Originally, I thought that our artillery unit would make another artillery preparation before the attack, the so-called false and real, real and false, at this time to give the enemy another artillery fire, I think the puppet army will think that it is lying to them again and did not dare to come out of the bunker, which just gave us the opportunity to rush forward. But I didn't expect the time to be 'approaching' little by little, but there was still no appearance of ***, and there was no whistling of cannonballs in the sky.

Three minutes to go! The fighters were ready to rush out of the tunnel, their weapons in their hands, the bullets loaded, the grenades unscrewed the safety covers. Lined up neatly and leaning against the pit wall. Just wait for my order, and then rush out of the tunnel and towards the predetermined position.

Since our artillery has already bombarded the enemy's positions indiscriminately, the puppet army has no mind or courage to send people to monitor our tunnel mouth tonight, which allows us to wait for the attack time in front of the tunnel mouth with peace of mind.

Two minutes to go!

Looking at the hands on the pocket watch, my heart beat with it. It seems that tonight's attack, the superiors are not prepared to have artillery fire? There were only two minutes, and even if there was artillery preparation, it was too late.

One minute to go!

I put away my pocket watch, grabbed my rifle from my back, and rejoiced in the bayonet for it.

We're in this pit and we're leaving. Position No. 4 is very close to each other, and if it is not blocked by the puppet army, it will only take a few minutes to rush up, so there is a high probability of 'hand-to-hand' combat, and loading bayonets in advance is the best option.

It's almost time to rush!

I thought to myself, it was only half a minute before and after, and it didn't seem to matter much if I rushed early or late.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of "chirping" in the air.

It's "Katyusha"!

I quickly understood that tonight's general attack was not without artillery preparations, but for artillery preparations, and that it was the "Katyusha" that terrified the enemy, and it only took a few seconds to hit hundreds or thousands of rockets on the enemy's positions in one go, no wonder it was only then that it was not started!

"Boom!" Hundreds of rockets exploded at the enemy's position almost at the same time, and a dazzling white light flashed on the high ground, and in an instant the smoke and craters on the position were clearly illuminated.

"Open the meal! Dinner! Before the explosion had completely subsided, there was a loud roar from the walkie-talkie hanging next to him.

This is the code word that Commander Zhang and I have agreed on, which means that they want to eat with the enemy. So I nodded to the trumpeter, and he immediately jumped out of the mouth of the pit and blew the trumpet.

"Rush again!"

"Kill!"

One by one, the fighters shouted and rushed out of the mouth of the tunnel. Don't look at them squatting in the pit one by one for more than ten days, eating half full and fighting every day. Usually I can't even walk staggeringly, but at this time, I jumped up like I had enough clockwork, and I don't know where the strength came from, so I rushed to the position in a hurry.

I also rushed out with the flow of people with my rifle, and I felt that the strong man was gone.

It's time to fight the enemy!
