The whistling of airplanes, gunshots, and explosions rang out outside the tunnel. We could hear the sound even in the tunnel. I felt the ground in the dark, maybe not the ground, but the overhead, the vibrations and heat 'waves' coming from the top of my head, feeling the rubble falling from the top of my head, and I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure in my heart.

It is said that there is a kind of octopus, when it deals with the small fish in the bottle, it will turn the bottle upside down, play with the small fish to the fullest, and then eat it, and then I feel like a small fish in the bottle, and the US military is the panicked octopus, and now it is staring at the bottle and trying to eat us by all means."

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down my forehead, and the 'muddy' air made me can't help but open my mouth wide and gasp, I know that this is the credit of the large number of incendiary bombs dropped by US military planes. It is said that there is a famous dish called "Huazi 'chicken'", which is to wrap the 'chicken' in the mud and then roast it over the fire. Now I feel a little like that dish.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of bombardment on the ground finally stopped. I had the urge to take the soldiers out of the tunnel to fight the American army, one was because I couldn't stand the weird fear in the tunnel, and the other was because I was a little unwilling.

This time, I came out with the hope of Master Pang, but I didn't expect to hide in the tunnel and wait for reinforcements. But after thinking about it for a long time, I finally endured this impulse. Because I know that at this time, the US anti-aircraft machine gun positions have already locked on to our tunnel mouth, and if we just rush out, the huge casualties will not be what we can bear.

This is not the time to be a hero, it is better to rush out and die, it is better to hide in it and live, so that at least there is a chance to fight back. Moreover, the experience of the division also taught me that heavy casualties that do not achieve results in battle are also a kind of failure.

can

As the minutes ticked by, the U.S. forces should have occupied the surface positions by this time We didn't hear the gunshots, we didn't hear the cheers. Maybe they are also unexpected, how could the Chinese, who had been bombarded with shells several times, suddenly have no one this time, and there are not many corpses on the position,,

Then they'll 'spend' some time searching our trenches or other high ground to make sure we don't hide in any of them, and then it won't be long before they'll soon see us all hiding in the tunnels.

The sound of several muffled explosions was different from the bombing sound we had heard before, because it formed a buzzing echo in our tunnel, and after a while, a thick smell of gunpowder smoke poured in, making the already 'muddy' air in the tunnel even more unbearable. A few coughs soon came from the darkness, and I realized that it was the U.S. military throwing grenades at the mouth of our tunnel. But I believe the U.S. military won't be stupid enough to rush into the tunnel. Even if they have much more advanced equipment than we do, even if they have several times more people than we do, if they do it, it's no different from committing suicide.

This was followed by a burst of gunshots, and the sound was also very clear into the tunnel.

"****** American devils!" Hu Biao's scolding came from the darkness.

Hu Biao's battalion fought several 'hand-to-hand' battles with the puppet capital division one after another, and the number of the whole battalion was sharply reduced from more than 500 to more than 100. However, there was no tunnel on the high ground due to geographical reasons, so when I got the order to enter the tunnel, I transferred it to the Linggao where the regiment headquarters was located and organized it with Li Guoqiang's battalion.

At this moment, he may have been suffocating in this tunnel. I couldn't help but shout loudly outside: "Hey! You rabbits listen to Lao Tzu, if you want to hit your grandfather, unless your bullets will bend! ”

With a coax, the warriors in the pit burst into laughter.

The tunnel dug by the volunteers at this time has long learned the experience of previous tunnel warfare, so they turned a corner near the mouth of the tunnel and then extended it deeply, and the enemy's guns, grenades and other things do not pose a threat to us at all, unless the enemy has the courage to break into the tunnel to fight with us, but if it is such a desperate effort, we can say with confidence, "Who is afraid of whom?" ”

"Battalion Commander Hu!" Some fighters joked with Hu Biao: "Didn't you say that US imperialism has an atomic bomb?" I heard that it is useless to hide anywhere, and he will let it fight, if this is true, maybe this thing will really turn around,"

"Ball! What a round bullet flat bullet. Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil! Hu Biao snorted disdainfully: "Don't talk about those things of the Yankees so evilly, what bullets haven't I seen before?" Is it that bullets always have to be shot with guns, right? You let those Yankees fight me with the atomic bomb, I see! He was dealt with with by me with the butt of a gun before he could shoot."

I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that the volunteer soldiers' understanding of the atomic bomb was still at this level, and they still thought that the "atomic bomb" was a kind of bullet, or they were 'fired' with guns! But it's no wonder that this thing is still a new thing in this era, and the volunteers don't know what it is, so they will 'mess' and guess it as a very powerful bullet.

"Okay, okay: I became more and more difficult to breathe when I was tattooed, and I stopped it with a voice! , 'door' four, do is to say a few words! There is not enough air in the tunnel, talk less and save some oxygen! ”

"That's right". Jiang 'Chun' Zeng agreed: "Although we have ventilation holes in this tunnel, there are many people in our tunnel, and we may have to stay here all day!" I couldn't breathe and held back the discomfort, so everyone still tried to talk less and make fewer movements,"

"Yes!" The soldiers stopped talking, and for a moment there was a deathly silence in the tunnel, except for the rapid breathing of the soldiers, and the occasional gunshots and explosions at the mouth of the tunnel. After a while, there was no movement outside, perhaps because the U.S. military didn't know how to deal with us, so they also stopped for a while.

I took two deep breaths, grabbed the kettle in my hand and poured it into my mouth a few more times, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down my body, and the military uniform on my body was quickly soaked.

To tell the truth, the 'woman' is not used to the hot and stuffy, 'damp' and damp, and pitch black environment in the tunnel, and there is no line, I think this is more terrible than the hordes of US troops waiting for our lives outside, which makes me nervous, makes me afraid, makes me want to scream hysterically, I think if there is a mirror to look at myself at this time, my face 'color' will definitely be ugly and scary, fortunately it is dark here and I can't see anything, otherwise I will be embarrassed on the spot,,

stone

The reason why I have endured until now is entirely because of my status as the head of the regiment. Looking at the soldiers around me, they all seemed to be indifferent, and I, the regiment commander, was embarrassed to say frustrating words or show anything.

I've always thought of myself as a sniper, and I've always thought that my mental quality is at least no worse than that of ordinary fighters, but now it seems that I am at least much worse than the fighters in this regard.

So I comforted myself, these soldiers are veterans! Although they haven't avoided the pit like this before, it's still common to hide and seek. And I haven't even dodged the cat's ear 'hole', so it's normal to have the current gap! But at this moment, as if in reply to me, several voices rang out in the darkness.

''! I would still be able to sleep at this time, and I was so struck that I felt the urge to raise my middle finger at Nasz,

At this time, suddenly there was a whirring sound of flames at the mouth of the tunnel, and a hot 'wave' surged, and the originally dark tunnel soon lit up with a red fire, and my breath was suffocated, and the thin air in the tunnel made me almost breathless.

Flamethrower!

The word quickly jumped into my mind, although our tunnel turned a corner and extended inward, and the flamethrower could not burn us, but its powerful thing was that its flames would deplete the oxygen in the tunnel, suffocating the people inside.

And then before I could react. Another burst of fire reflected the soldiers' faces distorted by breathlessness, and the tunnel was filled with bellows-like breathing and coughing.

My lungs were also uncomfortable. I couldn't help but 'touch' my neck and 'chest' with my hands. It's a strange feeling, when there's nothing. But it was as if someone was holding my neck tightly, covering my mouth and nose hard, and like a boulder pressing on my 'chest' so that I couldn't breathe.

"Fried" the dynamite 'medicine' package! "I shouted as best I could at the soldiers, who were veterans of many years of war, and in this case they quickly carried out my order, and quickly passed a bag of explosives from the rear.

I didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed the explosives bag and ran towards the mouth of the tunnel. As I approached the corner, I pulled the fuse of the explosive pack, but at that moment I couldn't help but hesitate, and then fell to the ground with a thud in my arms and the explosive pack. Because I suddenly remembered that this was the time when the enemy was going to breathe fire again, and I didn't want to rush up and let it burn me into a burning man.

Sure enough, at that moment, a wave of heat came at me again, roasting my eyebrows and hair, and a strong smell of gasoline poured into my lungs, making me cough violently. It was only later that I realized that the fuse on the explosive bag in my arms was also ringing.

So I hurriedly took advantage of the interval when the enemy breathed fire again, ran a few steps and threw the explosives bag in my hand at the mouth of the tunnel.

With a loud bang, a huge wave of qi threw me out and fell heavily to the ground, and there was a sharp pain in my chest, coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, but I fainted because I was out of breath for a while.

"Captain Cui! Head Choi"

I woke up with a deep gasp, and when I regained some consciousness, I found that there was no fire around me, and the tunnel was back to its original darkness, but the still thin air was still 'mixed' with the smell of gasoline.

I struggled to prop myself up, and asked, "What's going on?" What's the situation? What time is it? ”

"Finally awake!"

"It's okay, Captain Cui is awake

I couldn't see them, but I could feel the relief of the warriors around me.

"Captain Cui! Drink some water first and talk less! "I recognized Jiang 'Chun' as the voice, he handed me a pot of water, and then stroked my back with his other hand to ease me: "Just now, the devil used a flamethrower to try to drain us from the pit." Huaizhen lost Commander Cui, you were in a hurry, and threw it towards the mouth of the tunnel, "The outer bag blew up the mouth of the tunnel."

"And that's not all." Hu Biao said: "At the moment when the explosive 'medicine' package exploded, I also heard another explosion and a scream at the mouth of the tunnel! Think about it, Commander Cui, the explosives pack you threw not only blew up the mouth of the tunnel, but also blew up the enemy's flamethrower! ”

"I heard it too!" Li Guoqiang answered: "It's terrible that the Yankees' flamethrower exploded!" I've seen it once, and when it exploded, there was fire all within a dozen meters, and at least ten or eight Yankees would have to be burned to death! ”

"Rejoice! Let those Yankees be arrogant again! The fighters shouted.

"Hmm! The fighters are all right." Listening to the words of these people, I slowly recalled what had just happened.

"It's all right!" Jiang Chun replied: "The dozens of tunnels on our high ground are all connected, and the air is barely enough, but fortunately, at the moment of Commander Cui just now, otherwise the Yankees will come to each of our tunnels at once, and maybe something big will happen." Now that I've ordered the other pit openings to be blown up, we'll have to use the vents to replenish the air. ”

"That's fine." I nodded and replied, "Leaving the mouth of the pit is not good except for allowing the enemy to toss us, it is better to blow it up."

"That's it!" Hu Biao said approvingly: "As soon as the mouth of this tunnel is blown up, if the Yankees still want to toss, we will have to 'spend' a little more effort to dig the mouth of the tunnel, and as soon as they dig it, we will throw another explosive 'drug' bag out to blow it up, and if they dig it again, we will blow it up again, exhausting them to death!" ”

"But" Li Guoqiang still said with some grievances: "They can't get in, and we can't get out!" ”

"I'm talking about Comrade Li Guoqiang!" Jiang 'Chun' said earnestly: "Didn't they all say that we don't need to go out?" As long as we wait for the comrades of the 68th Army to come, we can be regarded as completing the task! ”

"That's what I said, but I don't have a taste in my heart!" Li Guoqiang replied sullenly: "Why do I keep thinking about it, I think that we are fighting a sliding battle, although it can be regarded as completing the task!" But if you talk about gathering, the veterans of our entire 0th Army will form a regiment, and let the Yankees be driven into the 'hole' to fight, and we will have to wait for the comrades of the 68th Army to come to the rescue, my heart

"Hey!" Speaking of this, Li Guoqiang let out a long sigh, and then said: "This is a shame! I have never fought such a battle, let alone a battle to turn over, and if I go back, I will be even more despised by the comrades of other troops. I'd rather fight the enemy here and die here for a hundred! ”

"Hey! I'm talking about you, comrade! Why don't you open your mind? Jiang 'Chun' Zengjian couldn't help but get angry: "I said Comrade Li Guoqiang, you are still a *** party member!" How come you don't even have this kind of awareness! We are strategically victorious, you know? Do you still feel ashamed to win the battle? Why are we being thrown into the 'hole' by the Yankees? We managed to hold back four divisions of the enemy! Now a few out there. The enemy of the division did not dare to advance when he entered, and he could not retreat when he retreated! That's our biggest win, you know?

"I agree with Comrade Jiang 'Chun' Zeng's point of view!" Huang Xianhua said: "The current situation is that although we are looking at the nest, the enemy of the four divisions on the ground cannot move, if they retreat, it means admitting defeat, and if they abandon us and continue to advance, it means that they will have their backs and supply lines in front of us, which they will never tolerate."

Comrade Li Guoqiang's viewpoint is typical of individual heroism and right-leaning adventurism

"I agree with Comrade Li Guoqiang's point of view!" I hadn't spoken for a long time, but as soon as I opened my mouth, everyone was stunned.

, Wang Fabi North

"Captain Cui, you" The most unexpected thing was Jiang 'Chun' Zeng, who almost said to me in a questioning tone: "Captain Cui, how can you also hold this kind of thought? I"

"Chief of Staff Chiang, Chief of Staff Huang!" I interrupted him and said, "I won't talk about the big truth, I just want to ask you, if this battle is over like this, will the comrades of other troops look down on our 60th Army?" Will the higher-ups let our 60th Army return to the battlefield? ”

As soon as I said this, Jiang 'Chun' Zeng and Huang Xianhua were silent.

"Yes, it was a victory! But at the same time, it is a losing battle". I continued, "In terms of getting things done, we've really won the battle. But from the perspective of turning over the battle, we have undoubtedly fought a lost battle! ”

Silence, silence in the air around you.

There are many examples of fighting hard battles and vicious battles in the volunteer army, and although we have accomplished our tasks in this battle, we can only say that ordinary front-line soldiers are unwilling to admit this, but this is an ironclad fact.

"So!" I then said without being shocked: "I have decided to rush out of the tunnel and launch a *** attack on the US army tonight before the comrades of the 68th Army arrive!" ”

"What?. There was a cry of surprise all around, even Li Guoqiang was no exception. They don't understand how we can still have the conditions to attack the United with our current situation and such troops."
