The sound of gunfire and artillery continued. The first charge of the 354th Regiment was temporarily lost, but the fighting continued on the two heights to the east and north. The flares lit up the surroundings of Tohei-ri, and the cannon fire was intense, and the gunfire did not stop at all, and the other two sides were also very fierce.

One by one, the wounded were carried down, and soon a fishy stench soon filled the air, and everywhere was a mess, and the hygienists were running from one wounded soldier to another. Although they were very conscientious, everyone knew that it was futile, there was no medicine, no medical equipment, so that the soldiers were in danger even if they were slightly injured.

To my surprise, I could hardly see anyone howling here, even if they had broken legs and hands, and they only snorted a few times when the pain was unbearable. Many seriously injured people did not shout even if they were in pain, and when the hygienist went over and pushed a few times, they realized that he had left quietly.

I sat down on the ground and took off my hat to wipe the tears that had formed Xiaoice on my face. Sometimes I really can't figure them out. Are they competing? Are you afraid that people will say that they are a bad seed? But when it comes to this, what are they more energetic and afraid of? Why do you have to hold on like this?

"Camp Commander Cui!" At this time, Huzi ran to my side, patted me on the shoulder, and said very calmly: "Let's go!" It's up to us! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. got up and ran with Huzi, and as soon as he turned out of the mountain pass, he found that the soldiers were all lying on their stomachs on the snow in front of them, ready to charge, even the head of Chu.

"Regiment, regiment commander......" I crawled to Captain Chu's side and whispered: "Regiment Commander, do you still want to fight like this?" ”

"Ball!" Head Chu's face was pale, and he looked very angry: "If you're afraid, get out of the way!" ”

"Captain!" I hurriedly dissuaded: "This battle can't be fought like this!" Isn't this taking the lives of our soldiers to block bullets? ”

"Lao Tzu has been fighting for decades, and I still need you to teach me how to fight?" Head Chu glared at me with both eyes: "You are capable!" What are you capable of? No planes, no artillery, how do you think this battle should be fought? ”

"Fly, the plane ......" I couldn't help but be stunned when Captain Chu said this, and hurriedly said: "Regiment, regiment commander...... I have a plane! ”

"You've got a ball! You kid ......" Captain Chu was about to scold, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw my serious appearance, he paused for a moment and then grabbed my hand violently, and said in a trembling voice: "Tell me, what can I do?" ”

"Captain!" I swallowed my saliva and said, "Give me half an hour, don't charge, okay?" ”

"Done!" Head Chu gritted his teeth and shook me tightly with both hands: "I believe you like this, if you can really do it, it will save our group!" ”

"Yes!" I hurriedly answered, paused and continued: "Commander, I need a radio station and a codebook......

"At the regiment headquarters, the political commissar and the radio soldiers watched, and even though they used it, they said that it was my order."

"Understood!" I answered and crawled backwards, and as I passed by Huzi, I whispered, "Huzi, signal board." Fast! As he spoke, he ran towards the regimental headquarters without looking back.

"Battalion Commander Cui, Battalion Commander Cui!" After a while, Huzi brought a few soldiers to follow: "This is going to start, and let the Yankees send equipment, what's the use?" ”

"Less nonsense! Signal board? "That's when I realized they didn't have a signal board, but it soon became clear to me who was going to charge with that burden.

Sure enough, Huzi quickly replied: "I asked my comrades to hide it, and I will go and get it!" ”

"After taking it out, immediately find a place to spread it, light the fire, and then go to the regiment headquarters and wait for my order!"

"Yes!" Huzi answered the call and took the soldiers to make arrangements, and I ran all the way to the regimental headquarters.

"Report to the commissar!" When I arrived at the regiment headquarters, I saw that the political commissar was flipping through the documents with the radio soldiers, and one of them seemed to be a translator who I had never seen. If not, I'm going to be killed as a spy now!

"Hmm, what's the matter?" When the political commissar saw that it was me, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Aren't you going to attack?" Why are you still here? ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but let go of my hanging heart, thinking that there were too many intercepted telegrams, and they didn't bother to check it for a while.

"Political commissar, I want to use the radio, Captain Chu agreed!"

"Hmm!" Chen Ye was a little surprised at first, but when he thought about it, he would have to use the radio when he was about to charge. Presumably it was also urgent, so I agreed without saying anything.

After taking over the radio, I took a few deep breaths to adjust my thoughts, and asked the radio soldier, "Have you intercepted enemy telegrams recently?" ”

"Yes!" The radio soldier replied at the same time as the interpreter.

"I want to be important, about Tohei." I thought for a moment and then continued: "Or in the name of Colonel Freeman of the 23rd Regiment of the U.S. Army!" Send it out and take it in! ”

The translator sorted out the documents, quickly picked out a few and handed them over, and when I saw that they were all translated into Chinese, it seemed that this translator was still very meticulous and thoughtful.

I flipped through it, and as expected, several of them were for the Air Force to drop ammunition airdropped, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly said that the plan I thought of might really work.

Judging from the attack of the Volunteer Army just now, the garrison in Tohei-ri had no intention of saving ammunition at all, and they tried to shoot as much ammunition as possible in the shortest possible time. This was the case with the French battalion to the west, and it was similar with the other two heights. In doing so, while killing and injuring a large number of volunteer soldiers, there will inevitably be a great loss of ammunition. The reason they can do this is that the US Air Force will constantly drop ammunition to their positions.

"Battalion commander!" It didn't take long for Huzi to run in and report: "The signal board has been laid and the fire has been lit!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, turned to the radioman and the interpreter, and ordered, "Keep doing your work, but I'll get a translator for now." ”

"Yes!" The radio soldiers answered the call and went about their work again, they obviously did not work as radio soldiers for a day or two, they were very skilled in the work at hand, and the translator's English was also very fast, and suddenly telegrams came to my hands like snowflakes.

At this time, there was a faint rumbling sound in the sky, and I knew that it was the arrival of the enemy's plane, and I couldn't help but look at the telegram in my hand even more nervously, but it was all asking for reinforcements, asking for reinforcements, and so on. I couldn't help but sigh in despair. I sat on the chair, these were not what I wanted, and it seems that those signal boards we laid did not attract the attention of the American pilots......

The rumbling in the sky is getting louder and louder, and I am getting more and more desperate, and it seems that this time I can really fight like this. But just then, the interpreter handed over another telegram, which read: "The pilot has found two airdrop sites, please confirm!" ”

I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw this telegram, and jumped up from my chair as if I had been pricked by a needle: "Quick, send a telegram quickly, we have found that the enemy has captured our signal board and is waiting for the air force to drop it, and our department will remove the signal board and ask the air force to immediately bomb the position of the signal board!" ”

As soon as I said this, the radio soldiers and translators were startled, and they all turned their eyes to Chen Ye, Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood my intentions, nodded and agreed: "Hurry up!" ”

"Huzi!" I then ordered, "Remove the signal board now!" ”

"Yes!" Although Huzi still didn't understand what was going on, he didn't say much, and after answering the call, he pulled his legs and ran out.

"Commissar!" I straightened up and said, "The radio station is running out, so I'll go to the battlefield to inform Commander Chu!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Ye patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good job!" Kill a few more enemies! Don't be cheap with those bunnies! ”

"Yes!" I answered, grabbed my rifle, and turned to leave.

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

"What's wrong?" Seeing me crawling over from the snow, Head Chu couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "How are things going?" ”

"This ......" I didn't know how to answer, so I hesitated and said, "Wait and see! ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the enemy's planes to ......," I said, looking up at the sky. But the black hole couldn't see anything, only rumbles, thinking that they were hovering in the sky, waiting for orders from the command.

I couldn't help but secretly pray in my heart that the enemy headquarters and the garrison in Tohei would not solve this "misunderstanding".

Tohei-ri didn't know about the telegram I sent, so they didn't know about removing the signal board, and they didn't know that they would be the target of the Air Force's bombing, but if the Air Force Command sent one more telegram to Tohei-ri to confirm, then my plan to kill people with a knife would be in vain, and now I can only hope that the Air Force Command will not do so much......

Finally, the sound of the plane in the sky was a little different. With the screeching screams of the fighters diving downward, the fighters lowered their bodies with their heads in their hands, all ready to be bombed, but I was the only one with my head raised, staring at the enemy position on the opposite side without blinking.

When the first bomb exploded, I couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in my heart, and smashed the snow in front of me with my fist and shouted: "It's successful, they bombed Tohei-ri!"...... ”

Then, under the puzzled eyes of the soldiers, there were bursts of explosions from the enemy's position, and in the light of the fire that shone when the bombs exploded, we could clearly see that the enemy's tanks and howitzers were blown into pieces and thrown into the sky, and of course, there were many enemy corpses......

Perhaps in order to be able to kill and injure a large number of volunteers, or perhaps because they knew that the volunteers did not have much artillery fire, the garrison in Toheiri was very relieved to arrange tanks and howitzers in a dense manner. But then again, the place they defended was only a kilometer in total, and they couldn't put it down if they weren't densely arranged.

Such a dense arrangement made the aerial bombardment very effective, and only one round of bombs was dropped to blow up those tanks and howitzers, and even detonated a lot of shells that were piled up. But this was not the end, after a while, with a few strange whistling of planes, an orange-red flame rose from the enemy position, and the air force dropped incendiary bombs on them!

The U.S. Air Force is really that ruthless! I like ...... though.

Where would Regiment Commander Chu let go of this good opportunity, he jumped up from the snow and waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted: "Comrades, for the Communist Party!" For the new China! Come on! ”

"Kill ......"

"Rush, ......"

The warriors jumped up from the snow and rushed towards the enemy positions with shouts. Not to be outdone, I grabbed my rifle and followed.

There was no cannonball, no anti-aircraft machine gun gunfire, no flares flashing with a blinding light. The fighters successfully rushed through the enemy's first line of fire.

The enemy's tanks and howitzers were basically destroyed in just ten minutes, and the French battalions stationed in the positions were also stunned by this sudden bombardment, and they were not resisted until the volunteers entered the minefield.

The gunners of the Volunteer Army soon set up mortars and bombarded the enemy's positions, and without the suppression of the enemy's howitzers and anti-aircraft machine guns, it was the time for our gunners to exert their might. Although we are not equipped with many mortars, they still play a significant role at this critical moment. A volley of shells hit. Immediately, those few firepower points were dumbfounded.

Most of the mines in the minefield have been detonated by the last group of attacking soldiers, although there are still some left, and from time to time there will be a few loud noises to hurt several volunteer soldiers, but this does not affect the speed of the fighters' attack at all, the soldiers rushed forward as if they were fine, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, and stepping over the barbed wire that was blown to pieces......

"Da ......" Suddenly the gunfire rang out again, and the French army finally organized a defense, but listening to their not dense gunfire, it was only two or three hundred people, presumably this bombardment killed and wounded more than half of them.

O my poor French brother! Who told you to be brave and fight without a helmet? Don't you know that the helmet was invented to protect against bomb fragments?

I simply stopped attacking, trotted to a small hill and lay down, picked up the sniper rifle in my hand and fired a burst of "bang ......", and after firing two magazines, I killed a dozen enemies, including two machine gunners.

Who let them learn what little Japan tied a cloth belt on their heads, and they wanted to tie black ones! How conspicuous the red ones are in this night! It's only a hundred meters away, and there is a red streamer on each head, if I can't beat you, then I'm really sorry for myself.

After a shrill trumpet of "......", the volunteer soldiers threw out rows of grenades, and although the wooden handle grenades were not very powerful, they would throw farther than the oval grenades. There was only a roar and a cloud of smoke exploded in front of and behind the French position, and some of them even exploded directly in their trenches, and the last bit of French fire was finally blown up, and the soldiers got up from the snow with a shout and rushed up again.

But to the surprise of the soldiers, a shout was also raised from the opposite trench, and dozens of French soldiers with bayonets rushed out.

These French troops are also strong, I can't help but secretly praise, if the American army had encountered this situation, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago, but they still refuse to give up their positions.

But the soldiers of the Volunteer Army in hand-to-hand combat have not been afraid of anyone, especially in this dark night, with a group of opponents with red cloth bands on their heads, and when our side has the advantage of numbers.

So the battle ended soon without any suspense, and nothing seemed to have changed except for the fact that there were more French soldiers on the ground who were constantly snorting.

I carried my gun and followed the troops into the French position, and there were corpses of French soldiers everywhere along the way, and there were more than a dozen people in the trenches who obediently raised their hands, their faces were full of dejection and anger, and they could no longer see that they had just raised their guns and shouted "Camoloni!" "Crazy and arrogant!

The soldiers rushed all the way into the valley so fast that I never had a chance to shoot again, and I was just a step too late to follow all the way to pick up corpses and prisoners, mostly American soldiers, and then I even found a group of military police with their hands raised.

If there is a gendarme, there will be an officer, so I hurried up to observe it, but to my disappointment, I found nothing. Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly had an idea, coughed twice and called out in English, "Colonel Freeman!" It's an honor to meet you here......"

In the darkness the gendarmes all gave me surprised looks, and as I was crying out for help, one of them stood up and asked in confusion: "Who are you, and how do you know me?" ”

I can't help but be secretly happy in my heart, this time it was an American army commander!

"Colonel Freeman!" With a treacherous smile on my face, I said, "If you don't stand up, then I don't know you!" ”

Colonel Freeman couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "I didn't expect you Chinese to be so cunning, today I can be regarded as having learned it." ”

"I should have said sorry to you!" I laughed and said, "Because I sent a telegram to the Air Force command in your name without your consent, telling them that the enemy also has aircraft signal boards, and then ...... And they dropped bombs on your heads......"

Colonel Freeman looked at me dumbfounded for a while, and after a long time, he slowly sighed and said, "I am very grateful to the Air Force for caring for us!" ”
