Chapter XVIII
Things turned out as I thought, and the KPA soon agreed to start building anti-slope fortifications, and was ready to resist the American troops on the positive slope and buy time to build fortifications on the anti-slope. Therefore, I also sent many soldiers, including Deputy Regiment Commander Liu, to guide and help the People's Army build anti-cline fortifications, after all, the position of the People's Army defense is the weakness of our army's position, and I have to be careful about it.
After arranging these things, he took Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei back to the regiment headquarters. He sat down heavily in his chair, wanting to calm down and rest for a while, but Chief of Staff Chiang quickly handed over several telegrams. In the dim light of the kerosene lamp, I read the telegrams roughly, some of them from Division Commander Pang, and some of them from the Corps Headquarters......
"I've got you all these telegrams back!" Chief of Staff Chiang seemed to see that I was tired and reported to the side: "Most of them have come to inquire about the battle situation, and I have reported in detail to the headquarters and Division Commander Pang about today's results. The command expressed its appreciation for our victory today and hoped that we would continue to fight a few more beautiful battles. Division Commander Pang warned us not to take it lightly, US imperialism will not give up its attack on us so easily, let us must cooperate with the People's Army to repel the joint offensive and crush the enemy's summer offensive. Other than that. This one"
Chiang Chun Zeng, who helped me find one of them in the telegram, said: "The meaning of the command is that the US army has begun a full-scale offensive. Their purpose is to use the military to win the right to speak in the negotiations, and in order to highlight their naval and air superiority, they have already used the navy and air force to start a "strangulation war" against our army's logistics supply lines, and in addition, the floods have flooded the roads, making it difficult for our army's logistics to supply, and it is possible that we will not be able to replenish them for a period of time.
Let's get ready! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, all of this was already known to me, so it wasn't surprising to hear it now.
However, Jiang 'Chun' and other chiefs of staff did not see it that way. They couldn't help but feel a little strange when they saw that I still didn't care. "Captain Cui!" Chief of Staff Li couldn't help but ask with some doubts: "You seem to have known these things for a long time?" ”
"Hmm!" When I heard this, I realized that I had 'exposed' my feet, and when I heard these things, I had to at least show some surprised or embarrassed expressions. How can anyone hear their own ***, food may not be supplied, and there is no expression at all.
"This", what do you say? So I had to pretend to be confused.
"Captain Cui!" Poison Xianhua seemed to have thought of something, looked at me in surprise and asked, "Did you already know the enemy's current movements?" And the floods? How can we have the time to grasp it so well, we have just made a good reserve of food and ***. This supply is about to run out. And looking at the way you just looked, it was as if everything was expected by you
"Impossible!" Li Xiangming said: "It's not strange to be able to guess the enemy's movements. Commander Cui also said before that every time the enemy starts a battle, the enemy will come to such a set, but this flood"
"What are you talking about? Supplies are running out? "I continued to pretend to be confused, and this time I remember showing shock on my face.
"yes!" Jiang 'Chun' said with some suspicion and confusion: "Didn't I read the telegram sent by the headquarters to you just now? ”
"Hmm, this." I pretended to be a little embarrassed and replied, "Maybe I'm too tired, I didn't hear anything in my head just now!" Are supplies really going to run out? What a coincidence. We have a batch of grain and *** in the network. The supply is cut off, but it's okay! Otherwise, we will have no bullets and no food to eat! ”
"I didn't hear it!"
When I said this, the chiefs of staff seemed to understand what was going on.
But I laughed in my heart, who said this afterthought was useless? We have deceived a lot of old staff officers with this afterthought! But I was still sleepy, and my eyelids slowly became heavy as the kerosene light danced, and I fell asleep on the stake next to me in a short time.
"Bang!" A gunshot woke me from my sleep, followed by several more sounds. In a few moments the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions rang out. I grabbed my rifle and was about to run out of the tunnel, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the light in the tunnel and the black cloth at the mouth of the tunnel. Only then did I slowly realize that I was a regiment commander, and now I am in my own regiment headquarters.
"Report!" Li Yongxi's voice came from outside the tunnel, and after getting my permission, he lifted the corner of the black cloth and hurriedly got in, 'stood up' and reported: "Report to Regiment Commander Cui, the enemy is attacking at night." It's too dark to see what the troops are! ”
"Night raid?" It was a bit of a surprise to me to hear that. This word has always only been used by the Volunteer Army to deal with the United ***, but this time "Which tendon is wrong with those joint ***"
"Let's go, let's see how it goes!" Thinking that I carried a gun and took Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei out of the tunnel, but this time no one came up to stop me.
Braving the rain the size of beans, he trotted all the way into the observation place where he entered the ridge line, and vaguely saw several volunteer soldiers shooting guns and throwing grenades on the other side. I couldn't see who it was, so I got down and asked loudly, "What's the situation!" ”
"Captain Cui!" It was the voice of the battalion commander Hu Biao. He bent over and ran to my knife and said! , I don't know what the situation is, I can't see anything in the dark, I know that the enemy is attacking, and the sound is a little weird! ”
"What's the weird sound?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Ceasefire, ceasefire". Hu Biao shouted a few times. The warrior quickly stopped what he was doing. When the surroundings were a little quieter, Hu Biao said to me: "Captain Cui, listen."
Below the positive bevel, there was a faint sound of "sonorous emptiness." I couldn't help but pop my head out and look down, and I couldn't see anything in the black!
"Are there flares?" I asked.
"This" Hu Biao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "That thing is usually fought by the puppet army and the US military." We weren't prepared
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the enemy's flares, and if I hit one at this time, it would be clear what the enemy was doing.
"Flashlight!"
"Yes!" Hu Biao responded with a reciprocal shot. But soon hesitated and said, "Captain Cui." We've tried, it's too far away to shine clearly, and it's going to be *** target, our light enemy is a slashing 'shot', or let me come
"If you take it, you will bring it, what so much nonsense!"
"Yes!" Hu Biao didn't dare to object, and quickly handed over a flashlight.
"Battalion Commander Hu!" After getting the flashlight, I ordered Hu Biao: "You walk away a dozen steps, then stick your head out and carefully observe the direction of the enemy, and tell me what you see in a while."
"Yes!" Hu Biao answered and quickly climbed away.
I put away my rifle and retracted my head, turning on the flashlight with one hand and covering the glow with the other to prevent it from emitting a single light. After being mentally prepared, throw it vigorously towards the enemy's position" The flashlight 'shoots' a dazzling light, spinning in the air like lightning in the darkness and flying towards the enemy.
The gunshots rang out quickly, and the bullets 'shots' into the dirt in front of me made a "plopping" sound, and the muddy water also followed the four 'shots' and splashed all over my face. But even then, the bullets didn't slow the flashlight down on them. So the flashlight quickly turned into a light source on the enemy's position, "Hit!" Listening to Hu Biao's order, the soldiers 'operated' all kinds of weapons and 'fired' in a burst of strafing, so that several screams of the enemy were heard under their feet without accident, and then after a while, the surroundings became pitch black again.
"Captain Cui!" Hu Biao climbed to my side in a few steps and shouted: "It's the puppet army, they came up with gasoline barrels, no wonder there is such a strange sound!" These puppet soldiers are also cunning, and they are all hiding behind oil barrels, and it is difficult for us to hit them. And it seems that there are still things in the oil drum, which looks like an iron shelf! ”
! Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly, these puppet armies are not very good at fighting, and there are a lot of 'tricks' in seventy-seven-eighty-eight. And this 'trick' is really a bit of a headache, although we can throw the flashlight down, but they are all hiding behind the oil drum. The Soviet-style weapons in our hands are not strong enough to penetrate the gasoline drum, even though the oil drum is empty."
"Captain Cui!" After a while, Hu Biao came up again and said, "I asked the soldiers to bring all the flashlights, there are more than thirty of them!" With the method you just used, I don't think it will be difficult to repel the puppet army! ”
"What? Only about thirty? "I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. There are more than 500 of us who are happy, and there are only about 30 of them with this flashlight. Now even if they are lost one by one, they can only lose more than thirty times, not to mention that even if they can see the puppet army in the current situation, they may not be able to beat them.
"Wait!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but call back Hu Biao, who was about to go to command: "The enemy is all hiding behind the oil drums, and it's useless for us to shoot with guns." If you want to fight, you have to use a grenade. You spread out the fighters with flashlights and throw ten flashlights at a time when the enemy gets closer.
Another platoon of fighters was transferred to cooperate with the grenade drop, understand? ”
"Understood!"
"It's better to add a couple of anti-tank grenades!" I added a sentence at the end.
"Yes!" Hu Biao answered and quickly went to arrange.
After a while, a group of soldiers carried boxes of grenades and climbed to the top of the mountain. Without waiting for the order, they took out the grenades from the box and unscrewed the safety caps of the grenades one by one to prepare them, and the black puppet soldiers continued to roll their gasoline cans unnoticed, and the sound became clearer and clearer. Getting closer and closer,
"Flashlight ready!" This is an order from Hu Biao.
In some ways, having two commanders on a battlefield is not a good thing. Because this sometimes happens when two commanders wait for each other's orders, and if the two commanders disagree on the battlefield, the fighters will be confused. Although the latter situation would not have occurred because my "official" was older than Hu Biao, I gradually realized that I should command the battalion commander and let the battalion commander know what to do, rather than directly commanding soldiers on the battlefield.
I think Hu Biao has already 'handed over' what the soldiers should do. As soon as the order was given, more than a dozen fighters in charge of the flashlights began to prepare themselves with flashlights and shielded their hands from the light as I had just done.
The rain was still crackling, the night was still so dark, and the gasoline barrels of the puppet army were still sonorous. No one would have imagined that it was in such a mutual mansion that they would destroy each other's night armor, but there was a hidden life-and-death contest and a few killings
With Hu Biao's order, more than a dozen flashlights were thrown into the air by the soldiers at the same time, and they fell towards the puppet army with a rotating light and a graceful parabola. The lightning flashed and illuminated the gasoline barrels in front of the puppet army. Illuminates the face of the puppet army who is not in a hurry to hide, and at the same time illuminates the target for the fighters!
The soldiers also moved quickly, and before the flashlight landed, they threw one grenade after another at the target, only to hear a roar, and the puppet army was blown up screaming and wailing. The light of the flashlight illuminated the scene of them being blown up by the grenade, illuminating their blood and minced 'flesh'. In particular, there are anti-tank grenades among them. The power of that one was greater than four or five ordinary grenades, and when it exploded, it only broke the oil to the very high, and then fell down again, and pressed all the way towards the puppet army on the slope, only to frighten those puppet soldiers to hate their parents for not helping them give birth to a few more 'legs' and run back.
However, this puppet army that has just returned from Japan is really different from the puppet army units I have encountered in the past, they are neither as capable of being defeated as ordinary puppet army units, nor are they as tenacious as the puppet capital division. Compared to other puppet army units. They have their own peculiarity, that is, "difficult", after being repelled by the volunteers once attacked, they will also retreat, but not far. Just out of range of our grenades, after taking a breath and resting. Just push the gasoline barrel and roll up in the air again,"
It really stumped me. Our flashlights throw out a dozen at a time. And after throwing it out once, it was basically damaged by its own grenades and couldn't be recycled. If this comes again; Anyway, aren't we going to 'touch' the black grenade? In that case, we can't afford to use grenades, not to mention, and there is no hit rate to speak of, and it is difficult to play a role.
There was a loud "boom", and the puppet army without exception was once again returned by the soldiers. But soon I found out that the puppet army was actually clever again, and this time they only sent about 20 people to push a dozen oil drums up. Anyway, we can't see it in the dark night. Listen to the sound of the oil drum rolling, it's not the same! It cost us more than a dozen flashlights and dozens of grenades, but only a dozen people from the puppet army were killed.
No wonder the more the volunteer army fights to the back, the more difficult it will be to fight the puppet army, now I have witnessed the growth of the puppet army step by step.
"Captain Cui!" Hu Biao also quickly realized that it was not possible to fight like this, so he came to my side and asked my opinion: "Next time, I will see if I should let the soldiers give him a hard fight with bayonets, let's condescend and rush down."
"No way!" I shook my head and denied: "This is exactly the reason why the enemy chooses to attack at night, and no one knows anyone who can't see his fingers, and it is easy to injure his own people by mistake, especially in 'hand-to-hand' combat." Just like the puppet army just now, if there are only about 20 of them, hundreds of us will rush down and fight 'chaotically', maybe when the lights are turned on, we will still be our own people beating our own people! ”
"Then we're running out of flashlights. Fight like this,"
"That's it!" After thinking about it for a while, I ordered: "We withdraw the anticline fortifications and give up the top of the mountain to the puppet army, I want to see what kind of 'tricks' they can toss when they push the gasoline barrel up, but before we retreat, we have to make some arrangements at the top of the mountain,"
"Yes!" Hu Biao answered, and soon did as I was told. The soldiers retreated one by one, and I also 'touched' my position along the 'Jiao' trench. With a little curiosity, I set up a sniper rifle in front of the trench to see what those puppet soldiers were doing pushing those oil drums up, could it be that they were pushing the oil drums up just to cover them up the mountain? If that's the case, then what is the iron frame in their oil drum for?
I rubbed my eyes, which were a little sore from the rain, and tried to look towards the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, visibility was almost zero on this rainy night, and I couldn't see anything through the scope.
So I waited, waited for the puppet army to come up and give me an answer, and waited for them to uncover the mystery......
Finally, the sound of oil drums rolling came out of the top of the mountain. This is accompanied by the "dangdang" sound of raindrops colliding with oil drums. Then I only heard the cheers of those puppet soldiers, and I only heard their bodies and did not see them. Soon the sound of the oil drum rolling was gone. Instead, there was the cacophony of shovels shoveling dirt and shovels colliding with oil drums.
I don't have to look at it, I understand what they're doing. They're building fortifications out of gasoline drums!
Now I finally know what their iron shelves in oil drums are for. If I'm not mistaken, the sides of these oil drums rolled up by the puppet army have already been drilled, and they only need to push these oil drums to the top of the mountain, and then install the iron rack on the hole that has been drilled in advance, and then they can connect the oil drums in twos and twos. Then the oil drums were filled with earth and stones, and a quick and strong fortification was built.
Sure enough, it's a good way, I can't help but smile bitterly when I think of this, if it weren't for my prior arrangement at the top of the mountain, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to get back to the top of the mountain.
