Chapter 64: Changing Guards

The guns continued to sound incessantly, and the battlefield continued to repeat attacks, defenses, bombardments, and charges. The battle line has been repeatedly moved in the struggle between the enemy and us,

After our troops captured the three heights in front, the American troops also launched several charges to recapture them. But these three heights are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and just as we have to pay a considerable price when we take them from the US military, it will not be easy for the US military to take them away from us. What's more, when we attack the US military, we attack it with superior forces. Now we are fully prepared to quickly send reinforcements to the high ground in the rear whenever the American army attacks.

The volunteer soldiers lack everything, lack of guns, bullets, planes, and artillery" But there is no shortage of people! Therefore, the U.S. military organized seven or eight attacks, all of which were beaten back by the volunteer soldiers without exception.

Once, the U.S. military even sent more than a dozen planes to help in the war, but they still treated these three people. The highlands are helpless. To the frustration of the pilots, they had to deal with the 'concrete' fortifications they had built on the high ground. In order to ensure that these fortifications could withstand the artillery fire of the volunteers, the cement thickness of many fortifications was more than one meter thick, and they were cleverly combined with rocks and mountain 'holes'. This makes it difficult for these fortifications to be discovered and bombed. And these fortifications have now become excellent anticline fortifications for the soldiers of the Volunteer Army, and the soldiers are hiding in them, and even the planes in the sky can't do anything about them. Because of this, the task of defending the three heights and sending reinforcements to them was sufficient for the 40th regiment, and our regiment was not needed at all, so we were allowed to rest for several days.

I was used to staying on the front-line battlefield, and suddenly retreated to the second-line, and I didn't have any tasks, except for eating and sleeping every day, I only occasionally talked to Li Pinghe about the situation on the battlefield. I always felt that something was missing, and then I had a feeling of being idle and not knowing what to do.

On this day, I was bored at the regimental headquarters looking at a map on the table, which clearly marked the high ground that our army had captured and the high ground that was being fought 'fiercely'.

This tactical counterattack was undoubtedly successful, and the US military was not fully prepared this time. Therefore, most of the troops of our army took the predetermined target, so that the battle line was moved from north to south for three or four kilometers very evenly. However, I suddenly felt that this tactical counterattack did not seem to have achieved any commendable results other than providing some experience and buffer zone for the newly entered troops.

What if the front has moved three or four kilometers to the south? Just as the Yankees said during the summer and autumn counterattacks, this is not our Chinese land, and there is no need for us to fight for life and death for a few miles of land on this land. This is also the reason why the U.S. military will shift the focus of its offensive from the Western Front to the Eastern Front during the summer and autumn counterattacks.

Although it turns out that the Yankees were wrong, I now think that there is some truth in what the Yankees said. What are we fighting for these three or four kilometers of land with so many casualties? Isn't it just a buffer zone for us that needs little? What is the difference between a few more kilometers and a few kilometers less?

But apparently the volunteer soldiers did not think so, because I knew that the volunteers had never had negative thoughts about this from the time they entered the Korean battlefield until the end of the war. This is also where the US military is puzzled by us.

But this is also normal, where will the Yankees, whose land has never been invaded, understand the combat habits of the volunteer soldiers who fought all the way from the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation.

"Captain Cui!" Just as I was thinking about it, Li Pinghe walked up to me and handed me a telegram: "This is just sent by the division headquarters, saying that it is going to transfer the neck regiment of the brother unit and replace us. I think. The intention of the higher authorities is to take this opportunity to let the new comrades learn more experience and familiarize themselves with the terrain so that they can adapt to this battlefield as soon as possible! ”

。 Hmm". I nodded.

Li Ping and Yun are like this, some things are obvious to the lice on the bald head! This was originally the intention of our army to launch this tactical counterattack. The troops that have just entered the DPRK were originally reserved on the second front, but they will be gradually transferred to the first line of operations in the next month.

However, the first batch of our sea regiment was replaced, which still made me feel a little surprised, maybe because the superiors knew that our regiment was seriously in need of rest and recuperation! And coincidentally, it was the neck group of the head of Yu who came to change guards with me, maybe it was a kind of fate!

"Did the superiors say when to change the guard?" I asked casually.

"Little tonight!"

"Tonight?" I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when I heard this.

The fourth division where the pig commander is located is because it is our reserve. So the station of the pig regiment leader is not far from us, only four or five miles. During this free time, I wanted to go to see the head of the pig regiment several times, as well as a few old comrades-in-arms such as Huzi and Zhao Yongxin. But considering that there is still a war, although they are reserves, they must also be busy, so they did not bother them. At this time, I heard that they were going to come to change guards with me, and I thought I could take this opportunity to discuss the change of guard under the pretext of public and 'private' and run to see them! I didn't expect the time to change the guard tonight,

I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only a few hours before the sky turned dark. Now I'm almost ready to start, and I can't leave.

"Captain Cui!" At this time, Zhang Mingxue lifted the black cloth outside the tunnel and ran in, and said to me: "Commander. Look who's coming! ”

"Commanders, Huzi, Zhao Yongxin!" Seeing a few people behind Zhang Mingxue, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Teng stood up from the chair and greeted him: "I was still thinking about you just now, but I didn't expect you to come!" ”

"Boy!" The head of the regiment laughed and said, "I heard that you have won another big battle!" And it's still a little Japan?.

"Hey! Little Japan is good, but it's not a big win! I didn't dare to my tail in front of the head of the group, so I said a little respectfully: "If this is compared to you and the head of the group, it is not a piece of cake!" ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, the head of the group couldn't help but smile and said, "I think you're the head of the group." The smooth tone of the oil cavity in this mouth has not changed at all! With you like this, I don't understand how your subordinates can obey you! ”

Everyone in the pit burst out laughing at the words of the leaders.

"Come, comrades. Two teas! "The ring is Ge Ping and Zhou Cang, and it was quickly served to the head of the socks and others... The reason why bowls are used for clumsy tea is because the life of the volunteer army is hard, and there is no such thing as a teacup in this regimental headquarters.

"This is the political commissar of our regiment, Li Pinghe!" I introduced the head of the pig group to Li Pinghe: "This is the head of the Bi group, Zhu Chuanyu, he is my old head of the group. When I had not 'touched' the gun in the net, I was his soldier, who fought with him! ”

"Hello comrade".

"Hello!"

The etiquette between the volunteer soldiers is actually very simple, in addition to shaking hands, it is still a handshake, and the words that come and go are "Hello comrades" "But this seemingly simple handshake and a sentence of "Hello." "But I think that just by doing this, they can eliminate the strangeness of each other. Compared with the polite and skillful 'sexual' greetings of modern people, I don't know how many times better.

But perhaps, this is not the credit of shaking hands and saying hello! On this battlefield of life and death, if we know that the other side is a comrade standing on the same front, it itself requires mutual trust and mutual dependence.

Just like now, Captain Zhu quickly became familiar with several soldiers in my regiment headquarters, and even Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue came up to chat with Huzi and them.

"Captain! When you first entered the DPRK, you really didn't even 'touch' a gun? Li Pinghe remembered what I just said, and couldn't help but ask with some doubt.

"Isn't that right?" I smiled and pointed to Huzi and introduced: "This is Huzi, a tiger in the strong group, he can be said to be my master, he taught me to shoot!" ”

"What? Did he teach you how to shoot? Listening to my words, Li Pinghe was full of surprise and didn't say anything, Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue looked at Huzi in shock, only to see Huzi smirking and blushing, standing aside and not knowing what to say!

"It's not small." I thought of the past, I felt a little funny, and said with a smile: "At that time, I made a bet with Huzi to compare marksmanship.

"Still betting on marksmanship? What are you betting on? Zhang Mingxue seems to be particularly sensitive to the word "gambling", and as soon as he heard that we were gambling on marksmanship, he immediately 'revealed' the appearance of a gambler and rushed to ask.

"The bet is to wash each other's feet! , Xiao Zizhi said that he missed his mouth, but he was too embarrassed not to answer, so he had to answer a little helplessly.

There was a coax, and the soldiers all laughed.

"So who won?" Zhang Mingxue turned his target to Huzi again, and asked mysteriously: "Comrade Huzi, tell me, has our head helped you wash your feet?" ”

"No, no." Huzi said a little embarrassed: "That time this guy also saved my life, I, I don't believe that he is the first time to shoot, that is accurate and ruthless!" At first, I thought he was a bad breed, and I had to drag the charge, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it was like crazy. In one go, he knocked down several people, "and captured three with shovels!" ”

。 What? Can you catch a prisoner with a shovel? Listening to this, everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations.

"That's how rare and weird you are." Zhao Yongxin was originally a man of many words, where would he be able to hold it at this time, and immediately ripped off his storyteller tone and said: "Your head Cui, you captured the king back then!" The prisoners were captured in pieces, and on one occasion they captured a whole company of the enemy with only three or four men! ”

"Wow!" Everyone let out a cry of amazement, and even Li Pinghe looked at me with an incredible look. It makes my heart very useful.

But I know Zhao Yongxin, if he continues to say this, he will into the sky. At that time, if I 'revealed' a flaw, I would be blushing.

So I hurriedly stopped me and said, "Hey! You guys, are you going to find out all the things I did back then in front of my subordinates! ”

"Little that" dare not. When I said this, Zhao Yongxin stopped talking.

"Comrade Huzi!" Xu Yongwei then asked again: "We have seen Captain Cui's marksmanship. We all admire it tightly, you are the master of Captain Cui, then your marksmanship"

。 Hey! You don't understand that! Looking at Huzi's embarrassed face, Zhao Yongxin said again: "Do you know what it means that blue is better than blue?" Huzi's marksmanship, it's not bad to be half as good as your Captain Cui! "Oh!" Hearing this, Xu Yongwei breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and smiled: "I just said it!" Our Captain Cui's marksmanship is amazing, and now there is a Master Cui! Hey" scared the hell out of me! ”

The fighters let out a burst of laughter again, and I noticed that Li Pinghe seemed to feel the same relief.

After laughing for a while, the head of the regiment took a sigh of relief, patted me on the shoulder and said, "When I think of the past, you are still the same." Slippery and slippery, the little soldier who doesn't abide by military rules! I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it was a regiment commander with a thousand soldiers! ”

"This is all the pig commander, you led the troops well!" I replied.

"Don't be funny with me! Although the head of the pig said this, he was very useful in his heart, and said happily: "Let's get down to business!" I'm coming back this time for a change of guard! We're not familiar with the terrain here, and we don't have a detailed map to refer to, so we're afraid we'll be dizzy when we come to change guards at night. I was going to ask the correspondent to get it, but I also wanted to come and see you, so I brought Huzi and Zhao Yongxin with me! ”

"Oh, that's easy!" I casually handed the map on the table to the head of the pig regiment, thought about it, and then 'handed over' again: "Commander, be careful when dealing with those little Japan!" They are very combative, and they are also very scheming. We fell in their way when we attacked, and we lost a lot of comrades! ”

"You can rest assured". The head of the pig took the map and glanced at it a few times, then put it away and put it in the cotton coat and put it away: "I have seen a lot of little Japan, and they can't please me in my hands!" ”

"I'm going back to China!" After a pause, the head of the pig group patted me on the shoulder again and said, "I've been out for so long, I want to go back and have a look!" Don't worry, it won't take long to return to China after this change of guard! ”

"Returning home?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

It was only then that I thought about this question. Oh, yes! The nephew group is about to return home. As the head of the nephew's group, of course, I have to go back together. But what am I going to do when I go back? When Tian Shi once again went to the Korean battlefield, the war was already coming to an end! Didn't I come back until then?
