Chapter 25: Into the Tunnel

"Climate warfare" is not a new term for someone like me who comes from the modern era. For example, the "borrowing the east wind" of the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms; When the US troops landed in Normandy, they accurately predicted that there would be good weather in Normandy for more than ten hours, and for example, the Soviet Red Army took advantage of the bitter cold weather to defeat the German army attacking Moscow in one fell swoop......

But come to think of it, it seems that knowing this doesn't require my modern identity either.

What I never imagined was that it would be used for me now, and that I was still the victim.

At this time, the positions arranged by the US troops on the two high ground next to our troops played a role, and the mortar shells were smashed into our positions one after another, and the anti-aircraft machine guns also frantically 'fired' rows of bullets at our anti-slope fortifications. Explosions, bullets, and screams rang out in an instant. Caught off guard, dozens of soldiers fell in a pool of blood in just that moment, and the hillside that had just been washed away by the rain turned bright red again.

At this moment, the American troops who were waiting in front of our army's position also shouted, raising all kinds of weapons in their hands and charging at our army's position.

"Captain Cui, hurry forward, let's go!" Li Guoqiang pulled me off the ridge line, and yelled at Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei at the same time: "Protect Captain Cui into the tunnel!" ”

"Yes!"

"Leave me alone!" I pushed it away, and Zhang Mingxue, who was about to come up and pull me back to the tunnel: "The *** position is going to be lost and let me enter the tunnel, are you letting me go in and wait for death or what!" ”

Saying that, he no longer ignored the calls of Zhang Mingxue and others, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, the most dangerous time has come, for the sake of ***ism, for the sake of New China, fight!" ”

At this time, I was beaten by the mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the mountain, and I was a little 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and my head was in a 'chaos' and I couldn't think, so I unconsciously stole Commander Chu's words.

I don't know if it was because the words I shouted had an effect, or because the soldiers saw that I, the regiment commander, had no intention of retreating, they quickly reorganized their firepower in the little 'chaos' and 'chaos' just now.

The gunfire on the position soon rang out, the weather improved, and the field of vision also widened, and the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the soldiers had a range of 1,000 meters, and at this time, the American troops attacking our troops from the positive slope just entered the range of our army's "shooting." The gunfire everywhere saw the rows of American troops coming under the dense bullets of the soldiers, and again and again they could not raise their heads.

But the U.S. troops seemed to know that this was a critical moment, and they were unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to attack, so even if they were pressed to the ground by our bullets again and again, they quickly got up and continued to charge as soon as the bullets passed.

At this time, the volunteer soldiers who were lying on the top of the hill and 'shooting' at the US troops became the main targets of the enemy's mortar positions and high-altitude 'firing' machine gun positions that had been arranged in advance on the high ground on our flank. The mortars are fine, but the hilltop position is very narrow, and it is not easy for them to be 'fine' and accurate. The most terrifying thing was the high-altitude 'fire' machine guns, which rained down on our army's hilltop position as if they were crazy, enveloping the entire hilltop position in its rain of bullets.

The fortifications of the volunteer soldiers focused on the defense of the front. Now their backs are almost lit up under these high-altitude machine guns, and the fighters can't cover themselves if they want to 'shoot' at the enemy in the front slope. So in the sound of gunfire, one by one, the fighters fell in pools of blood. But the fighters were undaunted, and the machine gunners arrived. The sub-gunner grabbed the machine gun and continued to 'fire' it, while the sub-gunner fell, and the fighters behind him went up again

The soldiers of the 38th Regiment were all selected from the 'fine' of the 60th Army, and all of them were veterans, so all of them could be machine gunners. However, due to the enemy's high-firing' machine guns 'firing' at the back, it was always a battle situation in which 1,000 enemies were killed and 500 were self-inflicted.

"Boom!" With a bang, a mortar shell exploded next to me, and the two fighters were thrown high and then fell heavily at the foot of the mountain, and the mud and blood kicked up by the shell 'shot' in all directions, splashing all over the surrounding soldiers.

"What should I do?" At this time, I was nervous and scared. It's not because I didn't have to be scared of losing my life a long time ago. This fear comes from the fighters who are constantly dying under enemy fire. Because I know that they are all the backbone of the Tian Army, they are all a group of veterans who can fight well, which is the hope of Commander Pang and the hope of the 60th Army. I can't let them die like this under the bullets of the enemy. I can't let the comrades of the 60 Army lose their hope like this,"

One of the fighters was cut in two by the machine gun bullets, and the lower half rolled down the hill with a dripping sound, but the upper body was still hanging on the Guolunov heavy machine gun, until another soldier came up, the machine gun also fired a shuttle of bullets,

Composure! I'm going to be calm!

I am the commander of their regiment, I cannot panic, they are all waiting for my command, waiting for my orders.

Calm down! I want to calm down!

I had to put aside all the pressure, all the concerns. Including the life and death of the warriors!

I used to 'sexually' grab the telescope and look at the enemy positions on the old side, but the lens of the telescope was already covered with mud and I couldn't see it. It had to take me a while to 'get' it clean with the lining of my uniform. But just after that, several more volunteer soldiers fell in front of me screaming.

I try not to think, not to hear, not to see" and then focus all my attention on the aperture in front of me.

The summits of the heights on both sides were more than a thousand meters away from our positions, and any weapons in our hands were helpless against them. and so on" There are also mortars, although most of the mortars in the hands of the volunteers are 60 mm caliber, and the "firing" range of this kind of mortar is only 1,000 meters, and it is helpless against the US military. However, there are also some of them with a caliber of 82 millimeters, and the 'firing' range is more than 3,000 meters. Now it's all about it,

"Mortar!" Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted at Li Guoqiang: "Notify all units and concentrate all artillery to suppress the fire on those two hills!" ”

"Yes!" Li Guoqiang answered, turned around and went into the tunnel beside him to convey my order.

Li Guoqiang's battalion had telephones, so my order was quickly transmitted to the various high grounds, and after a while, only a "sudden" sound was heard, and all the artillery of the Volunteer Army 'fired' at the two adjacent high grounds.

said that it is all, but in fact, it is more than ten on each side. However, the accuracy of the 'precision' of the gunners of the volunteers was really not covered, and only a dozen or so shells hit the enemy's anti-aircraft 'fire' machine guns dumb, and then a dozen shells, and this time even their mortars were silent.

"Well played!"

"Well played!"

The soldiers cheered for the artillery, and as soon as the threat on the back was gone, they focused all their attention on the front, and immediately became more and more courageous, only to hit the American troops on the positive slope screaming again and again. What made the soldiers feel even more amused was that the US troops really arranged tanks and infantry with direct-firing guns on the flanks, just waiting to approach the weak flank of our troops under the cover of tanks, but it was not until they approached that they found a deep and wide anti-tank trench blocking in front of them.

The tanks could not be crossed, and although the infantry could pass by putting a board on the anti-tank trench, they did not dare to move without the cover of the tanks, so they were huddled together in that valley, until the volunteer mortars fired a few shells at them, and they dispersed with a strange scream.

Seeing that the troops that could threaten our flanks failed to retreat one after another, the troops of the American army attacking in the front reluctantly left hundreds of corpses and retreated. When the gunfire died out, I could even hear them complaining and yelling at each other. It seems that each side is not satisfied with the other party's performance on the battlefield, and they are all blaming the other party for missing such a good opportunity because of the other party's mistakes. But what they don't know is that if it weren't for the fact that our weapons and equipment were weaker than theirs, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight like this",

I don't know when the sun came out of the clouds, and the red sunlight made the earth sweltering, and the blood on the ground was evaporated into the air by the sun, and there was immediately a disgusting smell of blood and corpses all around.

Corpses, organs, bloody bows, pesky flies buzzing around us like bombers, and the inside and outside of this mountain range is filled with these things, making it look like a lair of cannibal demons and monsters in mythology. I sat on the mud and watched it all in silence, silently watching the soldiers pack up all the portions of their comrades, and then put them together and dig a pit and bury them. lowered his head, only to find that the blood under his feet and on the *** was red, and he didn't know whose blood it was.

If fighting a war is tense and painful, then now I feel that staying here is a kind of numbness and helplessness.

"Captain Cui! Let's go back to the regimental headquarters! Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei don't seem to be able to stand this environment.

"Hmm!" I staggered to my feet, looked at the two heights on our flanks and seemed to have the presence of American troops again, frowned, sighed, and staggered towards the regimental headquarters.

"Reinforcements, when will the reinforcements arrive?" As soon as I arrived at the regimental headquarters, I asked, and this was the first time I had asked about the reinforcements.

"It won't be until early tomorrow morning at the earliest!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng replied without worry: "The roads and bridges have been washed away by the flood, so the speed of the reinforcements is very slow, and the comrades of the army have already dropped most of their heavy weapons and are coming as fast as possible, and their vanguard will not arrive until the early hours of tomorrow morning at the earliest!" ”

"Hmmm! Are the casualties counted? "I leaned my sniper rifle against the wall of the tunnel and sat down on a chair.

"Thirty-two casualties in the first battalion, fifty-nine in the second battalion, sixty-seven in the third battalion,"

"Hydrographic Bureau of the bastard!" I took off the wet hat on my head and threw it to the ground, shouting in anger: "Doesn't our army also have a hydrographic bureau? Why don't you know that the sun will come out today? This can't be measured, what else do they want to do with the hydrological bureau? ”

When I scolded everyone like this, everyone didn't dare to say anything, but only Huang Xianhua stepped forward and replied: "I know about this hydrological bureau, although there are a batch of Soviet instruments to support us, but the soldiers can't use them, and they are still 'groping', so I can't blame them!" ”

I couldn't help but feel angry for a while, I heard Division Commander Pang say that our army had newly set up a hydrological bureau, and said that he would report the weather conditions to us by telegram in real time

"Alright! Problems are always to be solved." I said a little helplessly: "As soon as the weather changes, the situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable to our army, the enemy not only occupies the nearby high ground that threatens our flank, but more importantly, the enemy's aircraft can be lifted into the air, and the aircraft can not only provide air supplies for the joint ***, but also directly strike at our positions." I think the enemy will attack again soon, and we don't have much time, so let's share our opinions, comrades."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, there were enemy planes bombing in the sky, and the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns and mortars on the adjacent high ground could directly hit our position, and they also formed a 'crossfire' without 'shooting' the dead end, and coupled with the frontal enemy's charge, everyone understood very well that we could no longer hold this position in this situation.

"I think it's all there is to defend!" Huang Xianhua said quickly: "We have been surrounded by American devils on all sides, and now there are only two choices, either break through or defend to the death!" I don't think there is a way to break through, although the enemy has suffered heavy losses, there are four divisions, and we only have one regiment. Then all that remains is to defend to the death, the high-altitude 'fire' machine gun positions on the adjacent two high grounds, I think we can continue to suppress them with artillery fire, as for the enemy's planes, it bombs them, let's fight us, and the enemy will eventually have to send people to fight us if they want to occupy our positions."

"Captain Cui!" Coincidentally, at this moment, Li Xiangming, who was guarding the phone, answered the phone. Turning around, he reported: "The battalion commanders reported that there are not many shells left in our artillery, only about 30 rounds left, and it is found that the enemy has not only strengthened the machine gun positions on the adjacent high ground, but also built three more similar machine gun positions on the surrounding high ground, and now there are five such positions in total, which enclose the positions of our army!" ”

Li Xiangming's words are undoubtedly a negation of Huang Xianhua's plan, as long as the mortar shells are finished, there will be a situation like the People's Army's positive oblique position, the enemy will be able to hit us, but we will not be able to hit the enemy! If we still hold on like this, the enemy will be able to finish off our entire army almost without having to send planes.

"Otherwise, let's go into the tunnel," Jiang 'Chun' said hesitantly after a while. These words appealed to all the fighters present, including me. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. Because the tunnel warfare has been fought until now, everyone has not really had the experience of hiding in the tunnel and allowing the enemy to occupy the surface position, and everyone knows what this means. Although the enemy did not dare to go into the tunnel to chase us, they could breathe fire, water or even poison gas into the tunnel, not to mention that the tunnel was dark, narrow, and damp, and people hiding in it might become insane.

Although I also know that the volunteer soldiers have used this tactic to fight against the United Army in the middle and late stages, but now they really want to drill into it, and it is very likely that the enemy will be sealed in it and unable to get out, so I can't help but feel weak in my heart.

But then again, it seems that the only way to go is to drill tunnels. As soon as the weather clears, the field fortifications outside are completely unable to stop the enemy's offensive, and after a day's battle, I am afraid that there will only be one outcome of the whole army, but if it is drilled in the tunnel, hold out for a day and wait for reinforcements to come, maybe half of the people will survive.

"Aircraft" Li Xiangming immediately turned his head and reported to me after answering the phone: "Commander Cui, Battalion Commander Hu reported that the enemy's plane was discovered."

Before I could finish speaking, I stood up and lifted the black cloth and got out of the tunnel, followed by several chiefs of staff. When I walked out of the tunnel, I found that there was a low "rumbling" sound faintly in the sky, but I couldn't open my eyes when I looked at the sound. Seeing this, I secretly cursed, these Yankee pilots really have a set, flying from the east with the sun on their backs, and they don't want us to see how many planes they have.

But this little problem is not difficult for me, I casually took out a black 'colored' silk scarf from my pocket, this silk scarf is my special 'door' for my own telescopes, with the experience of fighting with the British sniper, I will always remember that he always shoots through the reflection of the telescope, so as a sniper, I will naturally prepare a silk scarf for my telescope, but it has been raining for the past few days and is not needed, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

ten thousand

Put the silk scarf on the telescope, raise the telescope to look at the sun, and see it. There were at least thirty planes in the dark of the sun, and I recognized at least four of them. Mouth. Looking at the high ground around our position, sure enough, as Li Shenming reported, the US troops had already piled up sandbags on it, and the five high ground areas had formed a circle around our position, and there were two or three 'high-firing' machine guns on each high ground.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that the purpose of the US military in doing this was, first, to suppress our positions by fire on the high ground, and second, to prevent us from breaking through the encirclement. These Yankees are ruthless enough that they seem to want to kill us all.

"Captain Cui!" At this time, Li Xiangming ran out again and reported: "The US ground forces have also begun to attack

Seeing this, I had nothing to think about anymore, so I had to reluctantly order: "Pass the order down, and everyone go into the tunnel!" ”
