Chapter 55: A Row! Above!

Chapter 55: On a Row

After "Captain Cui" took a walk, Master Pang stopped me. In fact, I also know that Master Pang still has something to say to me, which is why I am at the end.

"Commander Cui" Master Pang motioned for me to sit down at the table, handed me a cup of tea and said, "Do you know why I arranged for your group ferry, Huachuan-Jincheng Highway and 585.2 Heights?" ”

"Yes," I nodded.

"Talk about it"

I didn't think about it, so I replied: "Ferries and highways are the only way for the puppet army to escape, and the 585.2 heights are the commanding heights to contain the highway, and at the same time, it is also the foundation of our confrontation with the enemy on both sides."

For the trapped beast soldiers who want to block the puppet army in the rear of the enemy, it is common sense for soldiers not to block on the ferries and highways. Because the ferries and roads are often undefendable, and our troops have no time to build fortifications when they penetrate the enemy, it is very likely that they will have to face the enemy's retreating defeated troops and reinforcements coming to reinforce them. Not only did he lose everyone, but he may not even be able to play the role of delaying the puppet army.

For example, our target 585.2 height, which is located on the right side of the road, can block the road and control the crossing 600 meters away, which has the effect of making the finishing touch for the whole battle.

"That's a good point," Master Pang nodded, pointing to the 585.2 highland located in the center of the arc-shaped pocket formed by the three positions of Jinhua, Jincheng and Wendengli, and said, "Do you know how difficult it is to hit here?" ”

"Yes," I nodded.

To be honest, when I saw the 585.2 high ground pointed by Master Pang, my scalp was also numb. If the arc of Jincheng on the map is a bag, then the 585.2 high ground is right in the middle of the exit of this bag. The puppet capital division, the puppet sixth division, the puppet eighth division, the puppet third division, and the puppet seventh division were stationed around. These five divisions are like an iron bucket surrounding the 585.2 Highland Regiment, and our regiment is about to attack Huanglong and occupy this place. What's even worse is that as long as this high ground is still in the hands of our army, it will be like a thorn in the throat of the enemy, which will greatly slow down the escape of the puppet army.

I could almost imagine an ant-like enemy coming at us from all directions

"Well, it's good that you know," Commander Pang patted me on the shoulder and said, "This high ground is deep into the enemy's hinterland, and you have to face many more enemies than other troops, and it is also the place where the puppet army must pass through. The reason why I 'handed' this task to your regiment is because I think that only the 538th regiment can handle this task."

"Thank you, division commander," although I replied like this, I thought in my heart: It is indeed not a good thing to be able to fight on the battlefield, isn't it? Every time, the most difficult and dangerous tasks were spread out on the 538th Regiment.

"Master Pang......" stared at the map for a while, and I said with some hesitation: "Can I mention a difficulty?" ”

"Say" Master Pang agreed without thinking about it: "As long as I can do it, it's not a problem."

Although Master Pang agreed to my conditions so simply, I was not the slightest excited, but felt a chill in my heart: Listening to Master Pang's tone, it seemed that he was fulfilling the wish of a person who was about to enter the tomb.

After settling down, I shifted my gaze to the 585.2 high ground and said: "Commander Pang, please see, the 585.2 high status is in the center of the pocket, which is the position with the longest marching route in this battle, and the longest marching route, which means that the supply line is long with the combat habits of the US army and the puppet army, if this battle starts, they will definitely bombard our supply line with artillery fire and aircraft, even if our 538th regiment can fight, if there is no ammunition 'medicine', we can only watch the enemy flee in front of us, right?" ”

Veterans who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, if most of them fought in the first five battles, will have a sequelae, that is, they are always worried about the shortage of ammunition and medicine. I didn't fall down one at a time, so of course it wouldn't be an exception.

"This is indeed a problem," Master Pang nodded and said: "But you don't have to worry too much, I am also prepared for this, and I also know that if this battle starts, it will be a problem to replenish supplies, so I will pull out ten engineer companies for the thirty engineer companies given to us by my superiors, and I will transport ammunition and 'medicine' for you, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, I'm much more relieved," I replied excitedly.

"But there's one thing I want to tell you beforehand." Commander Pang added: "These engineer companies are all carpenters, stonemasons, porters and other civilians that we have recruited from China, and most of them have not undergone military training, and they will come back soon after the ammunition is delivered, and they will not participate in the battle."

"No problem," I agreed.

Anyway, these untrained sappers don't have much combat effectiveness, and I'm not interested in using them.

"Commander Cui" finally Master Pang shook my hand and said heavily: "You should also know that this may be our last battle on the Korean battlefield, while asking you to fight well, I also hope that after you come back alive and return to China, I still want to have a few glasses of wine with you."

"Yes," I stood up and slowly saluted Master Pang. But that being said, who is guaranteed to come back alive on the battlefield?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

There are still three days before the time of the campaign, and the war preparations are in full swing

Because our army had suffered serious losses in several major battles before, and the combat mission of our regiment was very important this time, the higher authorities gave priority to assigning us several hundred supplementary troops.

After a preliminary understanding, I know that most of these reinforcements have fought on the Korean battlefield, and they have left the line of fire because they have been wounded, and this time they have returned to the battlefield because they have recovered from their injuries.

This can't help but make me feel a little 'excited' about the hard work of the superiors for the 538th Regiment, after all, such a supplementary army is not something that any unit can receive. At this time, experienced fighters are more important than anything else, because we simply don't have time to train recruits anymore.

But on the other hand, looking at those "immortal" reinforcements, I feel a little unbearable.

This reminds me of Commander Pang's words: "This may be the last battle on the Korean battlefield" Commander Pang used "maybe", but I am sure that it is the last battle. After this battle, the Korean War, which lasted three years and 32 days, will come to an end. Victory is so close to us, and if history were to develop as I know it, it would be only forty days away from signing......

But I think many of us will not be able to wait for that day, even though the fruit of this victory will have our blood and our lives in it.

"Commander Cui" Liu Shunyi saluted in front of me, handed me a 'flower' roster and reported: "Those supplementary soldiers have been arranged, a total of 796 people, I have added most of them to the troops, and there are some people I want you to see before making a decision"

"Huh?" I couldn't help but look at Liu Shunyi in surprise, arranging the supplementary troops into the army was not a big deal in the first place. Although there is a process of integrating the supplementary troops into the army and adapting to the battlefield as soon as possible, Liu Shunyi, the deputy regiment commander, can do it independently, but now he needs to let me make a decision?

"That's the case" Looking at my suspicious 'confused' expression, Liu Shunyi opened the 'flower' roster and explained: "Considering that the casualties of the Seventh Company are also very large, I have selected more than 100 soldiers from the supplementary soldiers, and the regiment commander, do you see if it is ......"

It turned out that this was the case, Liu Shunyi took great pains, but after thinking about it, I still shook my head: "Let's add them to the army."

"Yes" Liu Shunyi didn't ask much, and walked out of the pit in response.

It's not that I don't want to add to the Seventh Company, but it's true that the training of the Seventh Company is American-style fighting, which is not quite the same as the traditional fighting style of volunteer soldiers. Even if those supplementary soldiers are very good and have strong combat capabilities, they only have a few days, and they have no way to adapt to it, and there is no way to achieve tacit understanding.

I believe that the careful Liu Shunyi also 'colored' a group of sharpshooters for the Cold Gun Army, but it was also for the same reason that he could not get them to join.

With a regretful sigh, I buried myself again in the pile of telegrams and papers in front of my desk. I did not dare to slack off in the slightest in this crucial battle, from the engineer company to the reception of grain, grass and ammunition, and even specially asked Division Commander Pang for a batch of 'Bo' * Sha submachine guns and turntable machine guns to strengthen the firepower of the troops.

In particular, for the sake of our regimental division commander Pang, he did his best and used all his connections, either borrowing or deceiving or requesting, and 'getting' 34 'Ting' for us in one go.

These things are all good things, and there is a reason why the turntable machine gun is favored by the volunteer soldiers. Needless to say, its ammunition capacity, its biggest advantage is that it is much lighter than the Guolunov heavy machine gun, as long as a machine gun 'shooter' and a deputy 'shooter' hand back bullet 'medicine'. But what about the Ryunov heavy machine gun? Two people carry guns, one person carries a shield, one person carries a bracket, and two people carry a bullet chain...... It takes six people to conceal and calculate, and it takes 'time' to assemble on the battlefield, and once the position is shifted, it has to be disassembled, and sometimes it is targeted by enemy snipers or mortars, so it is not in a hurry......

The turntable machine gun does not have these problems, it only needs one person to carry it and can run all over the mountain, and because it uses exactly the same bullet as the heavy machine gun, the penetration is not worse than the heavy machine gun, and these advantages make the volunteer army units that are good at fighting sports battles sometimes prefer a 'strong' turntable machine gun to Guo Liunov.

With these 'waves' * sha and turntable machine guns, the firepower of our regiment almost doubled. I can almost imagine them roaring in the midst of hordes of puppet armies pouring out patches of bullets.

Of course, I also know very well that all of these equipment are bullet eaters, and if there are not enough bullets, these things are not as good as a rifle. But fortunately, Division Commander Pang assigned me ten engineer companies and a large number of ammunition and 'medicine', which are the capital for us to win the battle

"Report" was just as I was thinking about it, when a 'female' voice suddenly came from outside the 'door'.

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard that it was Jin Qiulian's voice, I was busy preparing for war these days, and I had long forgotten about going to see her every day, this girl wouldn't be so ignorant

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, and secretly said that if she really dared to make trouble with me at this time, I would give her a little bit of a good look. So he replied sullenly: "Come in"

"Report to the head of the group" Jin Qiulian lifted the black cloth of the tunnel and walked in straight, saluted in front of me and said, "Commander, can I make a request?" ”

"Say it," I replied angrily, raising my head from the file and glaring at Jin Qiulian viciously.

Jin Qiulian didn't care about the way she looked at me, as if she had guessed what I was thinking, and after secretly laughing, she stepped forward and said loudly: "Report to the head of the regiment, I'm here to ask to join the Cold Gun Force."

"What?" I couldn't get used to this huge gap all of a sudden, and I didn't figure out the situation for a long time. Originally, the anger that was holding back her stomach was about to be sent to Jin Qiulian, but now she suddenly found that it was not like that at all.

"Poof", looking at my appearance, Jin Qiulian couldn't help laughing. But as soon as she saw me glaring at her viciously, she immediately suppressed her smile and stood still.

It's been a long time since I've heard her laughter, and it should be said that Jin Qiulian's laughter is very special and good. This can't help but remind me of the bits and pieces when I fought side by side with her in the past, remembering that she always loves to lift the pole with me, and remembering that although she is a little girl who is only a teenager, she is doing things that are not inferior to volunteer soldiers......

"Head Cui......" Seeing me staring at her in a daze, Jin Qiulian couldn't help but remind me suspiciously.

"Oh" I came to my senses, flipped through the documents in front of me to hide my embarrassment, and refused: "I can't let you join the Cold Gun Force"

"Why?" Jin Qiulian looked at me unconvinced: "My combat experience is no worse than anyone else's, and my marksmanship is not bad, why can't I join?" ”

"It's not a question of combat experience and marksmanship," I replied, "don't you see those reinforcements who just joined us?" They are also veterans and have a lot of combat experience, and some of them are also very good marksmanship, but have you seen anyone join the cold gun unit or even the Seventh Company? ”

"No" Jin Qiulian shook her head, and then insisted: "They can't join, it doesn't mean I can't join"

"Comrade Xiaojin," I frowned and assumed the posture of a leader. In the past, I might have been willing to talk to her more, but now, I don't have time to dwell on her.

So he refused again: "You have to obey the arrangement of your superiors, you are also acquaintances with the squad leader Wang of the cold gun unit, you don't know what kind of training the cold gun unit receives, right......?"

"If it's because of this, then I'm going to join even more" Jin Qiulian interrupted me excitedly: "Report to the regiment leader, I have nothing to do in the past few days, I have been training with the soldiers of the cold gun unit every day, and now I will not be worse than any soldier in the cold gun unit or the seventh company."

"Nonsense: It's only three days......"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Jin Qiulian raised her chin as if demonstrating, and said, "If you don't believe it, go to the training ground to see, or you can ask Platoon Commander Hu if you don't believe it."

How can it be? Wasn't her predecessor a partisan? It's only been three days to get used to the American style of play? But looking at Jin Qiulian's appearance, it didn't seem like she was lying, and I couldn't help but be a little skeptical.

Thinking about myself nesting in this pit every day these days, it's time to go out and move my muscles and bones, otherwise my joints will rust and go to the battlefield will be a big event. Besides, the cold gun unit is indeed in urgent need of new blood, and I also know Jin Qiulian's marksmanship, so she is indeed a good candidate.

So he nodded, tapped his finger in front of her a few times and said, "If you are not qualified, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

"Yes" Seeing that I agreed, Jin Qiulian excitedly saluted me with a standard military salute.

On the training ground, the soldiers of the Cold Gun Unit and the 7th Company were cooperating with each other to attack the inclined plane, and one after another gunshots rang out, and dummies made of wooden stakes or weeds fell in response.

I was very satisfied to see the soldiers attacking in an orderly manner, after the attack on 902.8, the cooperation between the combat troops of the seventh company and the cold gun troops can be said to have passed a real combat test. This is not only a victory in a battle, but also increases the confidence of the fighters in the practicality of this tactic.

Therefore, as soon as they returned from the battlefield, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were very conscious and took the initiative to devote themselves to the training ground. By now, the cooperation between them has been getting better and better, and in many cases they can even cooperate with each other without a walkie-talkie, just a gesture or nothing.

This is often referred to as "the heart has a soul", and it seems that this is very much needed on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, I was a little relieved, because I knew that although the number of people in the Seventh Company was smaller, its combat effectiveness was only stronger than before.

Soon, the drill of the third platoon ended, and it was time for the other second platoon to take up the position. But I heard Li Guoqiang shouting: "One row, up"

A row? Isn't Chen Guozhong's platoon completely wiped out?

I looked at Li Guoqiang in shock, and was stunned to find that all the soldiers of the Seventh Company stood up straight and saluted the training ground, and I quickly understood that they remembered these comrades who died on the battlefield in their own way, and used their own methods to cherish the dead heroes......

Looking at their appearance, my 'chest' couldn't help but be blocked, and my throat felt as if something was stuffed. They also saluted to the training ground

"On the second row"

"Bang bang ......" The gunfire rang out again, and then I realized that Jin Qiulian had already followed the soldiers in the team to cooperate with the attack. What makes me feel a little strange is that her movements are very sophisticated, and she also cooperates well with the fighters, not at all like she has only practiced for three days

Moreover, the figure of that battle seems to have been seen somewhere, a bit like ...... The 'female' captain of the puppet army agent who escaped from my hands several times is a bit like the mysterious gunman who once saved my life......

No, I shook my head and threw these thoughts out of my head, probably because North Korean 'women' are almost like that
