Chapter 13: The Beginning of the War

Eat, sleep, dig tunnels.

We haven't done anything else in the past ten days, just doing these three things. I think the Corps Command has been concerned about the progress of the negotiations, and has no time to take care of us, and even sends us fewer telegrams to contact us. Only occasionally Master Pang would send a few telegrams to inquire about the situation, or tell us something he knew about the negotiations. For example, the negotiations are not going well, and the Yankees are asking too high and it seems that it is difficult to reach a reunification, so let's not give up and not have negative thoughts."

I understood what Master Pang meant, and he was also worried about whether I would not want to fight because I started negotiating. But his concern was obviously unnecessary, because I knew much more than he did. I am well aware that at the negotiating table of this negotiation, the US military used the excuse of abandoning its superiority in the sea and air. Demanding that China and the DPRK unilaterally cede 10,000 square kilometers of land. And in the end, the negotiations broke down.

The advantage of sea and air is cake

The Yankees mean that they have a navy, they have an air force and we don't, so of course they have a military advantage, since they have the advantage. Now we have made peace and there is no war. Then the volunteers will have to use the land to compensate for their superiority in this area.

This also showed me how powerful the Yankees are wrestling! The United States is a country with a large number of lawyers and experts in negotiations, so it is natural that quibbling has become a 'door' art. This may sound reasonable at first glance, but they also don't want to think that they have so many advantages, and they don't take advantage of the fact that they really fight on the battlefield. He almost drove us out of the sea. Now they are clamoring to compensate for their so-called superiority in the sea and air.

What they can't get on the battlefield. But I want to get it at the negotiating table!

I knew all this, but the warriors of the Bracelet Regiment didn't.

Without knowing the course of the negotiations, the fighters will inevitably make blind guesses in their minds. The first few days were fine. After a long time, some of the soldiers couldn't bear the 'sex'. In addition, it rained heavily, which added a lot of difficulties to the tunnel operation, and the soldiers gradually developed a negative mood. There were even some rumors that the negotiations had reached an agreement, and we were going to return to China, etc.

This kind of question quickly touched the sensitive nerves of Chief of Staff Chiang, so he nagged around me for three days and two ends: Xiao Cui! It's time for a meeting to do political and ideological work for the fighters! ”

"Isn't this the work done by the commissar?" I replied, a little unconvinced.

"That's what I said, but our regiment was formed temporarily, and the superiors haven't rushed to send a political commissar, right?"

"Wouldn't it be better for you to organize a meeting?"

"It's not difficult to organize a meeting, but we don't have enough weight to speak!" Jiang 'Chun' teased himself and said, "Didn't the warrior still say it? The staff officer does not have a commander, and the fart does not make a sound! You are the head of the group, this meeting is the most suitable for you! ”

"In two days! I'm busy! "What I'm most afraid of is having a meeting, and now I can't help but have tai chi with him.

"What are you busy with?" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng put on a look of not giving up and said: "We guys, the chief of staff is too idle, what is there to keep a few of us old guys busy, such as wiping guns!" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, in fact, there was really nothing to be busy with, I was wiping my beloved sniper rifle in my hand,,

Therefore, under the "coercion" of Chief of Staff Chiang, I had to call the messengers to summon the battalion commanders and instructors. It's also a little ashamed to say that until now, I, the regiment commander, still can't remember what the captains of several battalions under my command are, but I only know that there are five battalion commanders under my network, and one is guarding a hill just right, one is not less and one is not more. For other things, I just have to tell Liu Shuntou and let him arrange it. After a while, the battalion commanders and instructors came in in with ponchos and heavy rain, and at this time the tunnel of the regiment headquarters had been widened and deepened, although there were more than a dozen people at this time, but it did not seem crowded at all, but there were many people blocking the light that was not bright at the entrance of the 'hole', making the tunnel a little 'gloomy' and gloomy, which made people feel a little more depressed.

"Comrades!" Seeing that the soldiers had arrived, I was silent for a while and had no choice but to break the deadlock. But as soon as I opened my mouth, I didn't know what to say next. If this is the kind of modern "mmmmmmmmmmmm I really can't drive it. After a long time, he casually found a topic and said, "Well, comrades, how are the fortifications done?" Let's give my opinion first! ”

"The fortifications are almost done!" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu has the most say on this issue, because he runs around the various heights every day to follow the progress, and as soon as he heard me ask about it, he began to make a report like a few treasures: "Relatively high, the highlands and the fronting heights do not need to build fortifications with two inclined planes, so the progress is relatively fast. However, I still asked the soldiers to strengthen the tunnel to cope with the possibility of landslides caused by the flood. And with the extra time, a few more tunnels were made, and now there are a total of more than forty tunnels in the two highlands that open up two inclined planes, and the tunnels are also connected to each other, so that the soldiers can communicate with each other. ”

As he spoke, Deputy Regiment Commander Liu simply spread out the map, pointed to the locations of several other highlands and said: "The relatively backward Jumping Highland and the Swallowing Highland are relatively slow because of the construction of two inclined fortifications, but they can also be completed before dark today." And we also dug two or two pads between the different body clam pools in the highlands, and we buried mines, and these fortifications have basically been completed. But the most difficult part is the opening in the middle. Highlands,"

"Hmm, what's the difficulty?" Seeing Deputy Head Liu pointing to the highest high ground in the middle with a difficult face, I couldn't help but ask with some doubt.

"A few meters deep on this plateau is a rock formation!" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu replied: "As soon as the soldiers' tunnels dig into the rocks, they will be out of shape, so this high ground is only suitable for building field fortifications, and there is no way to dig tunnels!" However, I don't think it's a big deal, because this high position is in the middle of the middle, and it is unlikely to be attacked by a large number of enemy troops. Second, I have dispersed the troops stationed on this high ground to the surrounding high ground to dig tunnels, so that the soldiers of this battalion can hide from the enemy's artillery fire on other high grounds, and then enter this high ground to garrison after the artillery fire has passed. ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, in fact, in the past few days, I will go to the position if I have nothing to do, and I am also very satisfied with the fortifications I see, the firepower of each tunnel mouth can cooperate with each other, not to mention, the tunnel mouth also formed a whole, each other can provide cover for each other. If it weren't for Deputy Commander Liu's command, I really wouldn't have been able to 'get' such a thing.

"So, are the other comrades still in difficulty?" I asked.

"It's not difficult!" The one who spoke was a black-faced soldier with a two-handed, eight-character mustache, and I recognized him as Hu Biao. Because he happened to be the battalion commander guarding the high ground where I was, I met a few more times, and I became acquainted with each other.

It is said that during the five battles, he led a company to seize a hill with the US army, and repeated it five times in one day, and finally the entire company only had a dozen people left, and he was stunned to grab the hill.

"Captain Cui!" At this time, I saw Hu Biao standing up with a full body of muddy water and said: "We can overcome other difficulties, but this battle is not fought, and there is no harmony, which makes us panic!" ”

"That's it!" Other battalion commanders and instructors also echoed each other: "Some people say that they are going to fight, and some people say that they are going to make peace, and no one can say whether they will fight or not, and they are all over the place when they do their work." "Comrades!" Seeing that the soldiers were talking. I had no choice but to stand up and shout at them, "Everyone," and everyone should realize that although the enemy had encountered difficulties in the war and was forced to negotiate with us, their aggressive nature of imperialism would not change. During the negotiations, it is very likely that the enemy will play all kinds of 'shady' tricks and may even take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on us. Therefore, comrades, the armistice negotiations will be very difficult and tortuous, and the struggle against imperialism is also destined to be long-term. Therefore, we must respond to the call of our superiors and actively defend against it. Eliminate all negative thoughts, actively build a defensive position, and be ready to crush any enemy attack at any time! ”

"Good!" My words fell silently, and the soldiers applauded, and even the chiefs of staff nodded at me with approving glances. He seemed to be extremely pleased with what I had said.

Only I smiled bitterly in my heart, but fortunately, I memorized the philosophy of Beggar Kex a few times in college in order to cope with the exam.

"Boom!" At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came overhead, which shook the dirt on the tunnel and fell down, and the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this cannon sound. They haven't heard the sound of artillery for a long time, and they haven't reacted for a long time, and all the veterans in this tunnel have fought for several years, but at this time, they are like recruits, you look at me, I look at you. I don't know what's going on.

Then there was another *** cannon sound, one after another, far and near, and it took a while for the cannon to stop. Only then did the radio soldier hand over a telegram in a panic. It reads: "Negotiations have broken down, and there is a possibility of a surprise attack by the enemy!" ”

! Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly. This Yankee didn't start fighting early or late, but he didn't start fighting until after Lao Tzu had finished the meeting and done the ideological work of the soldiers.

Thinking about it, I still didn't dare to shout to the fighters in a lazy way: "Comrades, the negotiations have broken down and the enemy has begun to attack!" Go back and get ready for battle! ”

"Yes!" The warriors responded in unison, saluted me and ran towards their positions.

I was also accustomed to running out with a rifle in my hand, but before I could take two steps, I was stopped by Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and the chiefs of staff.

"Captain Cui! Where are you going? Deputy Head Liu asked.

"Go to war!"

"You're the head of the regiment, just stay here!" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu snatched the sniper rifle in my hand and said, "It's not your turn on the battlefield!" The whole regiment of soldiers wants you to command, and they will go to the battlefield! ”

"Well, it's okay to go out and see how it's going!"

"It depends, but you have to bring a guard!" Deputy Head Liu turned around and 'handed over' Zhang Mingxue and the others: "You must protect the safety of the head of the regiment, and you can't go to too dangerous places!" ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”

The wretch in my heart, what kind of Rausch regiment commander, I have to ask for instructions if I want to go to the battlefield. And now it seems that it is still being protected,

took Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei to trot around in the road for a while. Soon it turned into a pit that could cut the slope. I didn't do much else during this time, but I was very familiar with the tunnels in these highlands. Just kidding, this is where you have to fight, and if you get 'lost' even if you walk in, then it's a! Not to mention that I'm still one. Snipers, even more so, must know their terrain well.

It's just that this tunnel is really not walked by people. Because it has to penetrate the front and back slopes, this kind of tunnel is particularly long, which determines that the soldiers cannot dig them wide and high in a limited time. So the man walked in it and had to bend his waist. And because of the rainwater infiltration, the mud in the tunnel was thick enough to cover the boots on my feet. Coupled with the darkness and the sound of gunfire outside, it makes people feel like they have walked into hell.

I finally got out of the slender pit and got into the pit with a slightly larger positive slope, and I couldn't help but straighten up and twist my already sore back. Then he stretched out his hand and pulled out Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei, who were still grinding in the tunnel. Looking at the three of them again, they are already covered in mud, and no one can tell who it is.

"Captain Cui!" Zhang Mingxue took two deep breaths and said, "It's too risky here." Let's go back! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said Comrade Xiao Zhang, do you see the enemy here?" ”

"Nope!" Zhang Mingxue shook his head.

"Are there any bullets or shells?"

"Nope!" Zhang Mingxue also shook his head.

"Then what's the danger?"

"This" Zhang Mingxue couldn't help but be speechless, so he had to follow me forward.

"How's it going?" Ran to the mouth of the pit and lay down in the bunker, casually asking the soldier beside him.

"It's a fight!" The warrior must not have recognized me. Without looking back, he replied: "The enemy's firepower is very fierce, and it seems that it has been prepared for a long time, and the comrades of the People's Army are afraid that they will not be able to withstand it." ”

I picked up the binoculars around my neck and looked ahead, and it was exactly like what the soldier had said, shells were blasting at KPA positions one after another, dozens of planes were circling above their positions like bees, and every now and then there was a dive and strafing shot, or a few bombs dropped. The flames of the incendiary bombs reflected half of the sky, and it looked particularly strange under the pouring rain.

"Cui, Captain Cui" You are Captain Cui! "Maybe it was the telescope that *** revealed my identity, and the soldier lying next to me recognized me at this time.

But he didn't get up and salute me. This can't help but make me secretly praise him, the team that Commander Pang formed for me is really an army of extraordinary quality, and any soldier can control his habits. If this is to salute the commander on the front line, it will do no good except give the enemy sniper a great target.

"Hmm!" I nodded at him, didn't bother to talk to him, and continued to hold my binoculars in the direction of the KPA.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in my vision, followed by another, and in a few moments it spread into a single dot. I hurriedly turned up the magnification of the telescope, and now I can see clearly. It's the People's Army. Although the soldiers of the People's Army are not easy to recognize, the officers wearing horse 'trousers' and stepping on military boots are impressive. This is not? Running away is also much more "majestic" than ordinary soldiers! The military boots ran in the muddy water, and the deep and shallow feet seemed to be dancing."

The KPA retreated much faster than I had imagined, and it had not been more than an hour since the enemy began to bombard, and they had already retreated here. But think about it, this is also a matter of common sense, their field fortifications have no way to withstand the poisonous bombardment of American artillery and incendiary bombs. What's more, the US military has been preparing for bombing for more than half a month, and the US tank and armored units have been 'inserted' into the joint of their corps, so if they do not run, they will face the danger of being divided and surrounded. At this time, the six divisions of the People's Army guarding the front line were only afraid of heavy casualties.

"Pass the order on!" Seeing this, I hurriedly ordered: "All units are ready for battle, and it is the comrades of the People's Army who are running in front, see clearly and fight again, and don't accidentally injure your own people!" ”

"Yes!" The warrior beside me quickly passed on my orders.

In other words, it is still beneficial for this regiment commander to observe the enemy's situation on the front line, at least it is more convenient to command. You don't need to go so much trouble on the phone, and what you hear on the phone can't catch up with what you see.

"Captain Cui, Captain Cui!" I don't know when Li Xianhao and a few people also ran to the front in a panic. At this time, they were completely devoid of their previous arrogance, all of them were like headless flies, shouting loudly and asking the soldiers beside them: "Have you seen Commander Cui?" Where is Captain Cui? ”

"Here!" I shouted at them with some disdain. I don't see a single bit of a soldier in them.

"Captain Cui, Captain Cui!" As soon as he saw me, Li Xianhao couldn't help but run up overjoyed, and shouted out of breath: "Commander Cui! Our division commander is retreating in this direction, and he orders you to go and respond, and send your troops out quickly! ”

"Ordered us to pick it up?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh angrily: "I'm sorry Mr. Li, we only accept orders from the headquarters of the Third Corps of the Volunteer Army, you better go find someone else!"
