Winter in North Korea is quietly approaching, and the temperature suddenly drops below zero degrees Celsius as the sun goes down.

I led the soldiers to hold the rifles in their hands, one by one leaning against the wall of the tunnel, facing the cold wind blowing outside the tunnel, feeling the coldness of the metal on the rifles, and quietly waiting for the moment of attack.

From the 597.9 highland movement to the 537.7 highland tunnel, it 'spent' us more than half an hour, and the attack time was only twenty minutes. This left us with no time to rest, and the warriors sorted out their equipment and guns a little, and silently divided into four parts according to the order and waited for the order in front of the different pit mouths.

The most difficult, and at the same time, the most important thing to rush out of the mouth of the tunnel to seize the enemy's position is to quickly deploy the forces and bring into full combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest possible time. This is also the reason why we have divided the unit into four parts, each with two platoons, led and commanded by me, Li Baocheng, Chen Zhiyuan, and Cheng Yuanqing.

Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire and bombardment was heard from the direction of the 597.9 heights. I pulled out my pocket watch and looked at it, and the hands were pointing exactly at twelve. 597.9 The fighters of the high ground launched an attack on time towards the positions controlled by the puppet army. But I didn't move, and neither did the warriors, because we knew that this was not the time for us to attack. We're going to wait, waiting for the puppet army's rescue forces to come out of their bunkers and fortifications......

We don't know when the puppet army will send reinforcements in the direction of the 597.9 heights, and the superiors don't know, so the timing of our attack this time is uncertain. It can even be said that if the offensive of our army on the 597.9 heights could not shake the position of the puppet army, and the puppet army did not have a sense of crisis, it would not have sent reinforcements at all. At that time, I didn't know if this *** was going to be implemented as planned.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no movement outside the tunnel. Nothing has changed, except for the disappearance of the searchlight line that used to dangle in front of our tunnel mouth. I think it was the battle on the 597.9 heights that managed to attract their attention. For several days, our troops have been fighting on the 597.9 height, and I don't think they would have thought that this time we would suddenly aim at the 537.7 height.

Suddenly, several stones rolling down from the mouth of the pit caught my attention. I soon realized that it was reinforcements from the puppet army. The reason is very simple, our artillery did not bomb the 537.7 heights, and there were no volunteer soldiers to storm this heights for the time being, so there will be stones rolling down in this dark night, then there is only one explanation, that is, when the puppet army reinforcements were dispatched, they couldn't see the road clearly in this dark night, and accidentally kicked the stones down!

However, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to use the word "carelessly", the puppet army doesn't know that our real target is actually them, so there is no need to be "careful" at all!

"Get ready!" I turned to the warriors behind me and gave orders, which were quickly passed down one after the other.

The puppet army is in trouble this time! The artillery observers of the Volunteer Army, at this moment, must be observing them in the dark, and report a string of numbers representing coordinates to the artillery headquarters through walkie-talkies, just waiting for the puppet army to assemble, and the shells will fly over like eyes......

Sure enough, as soon as my mind arose, there was a sound of "chirping ......" in the sky, it was "Katyusha"! During my time in Shangganling, I was all too familiar with this kind of sound. It can pour a large number of shells on the enemy's head in the shortest time (a few seconds), so that they do not even have a chance to hide in the fortifications again, and achieve the goal of killing and wounding a large number of enemy infantry from the surface.

"Boom ......" Immediately after that, a loud noise was heard from the top of the mountain, and the originally dark mouth of the pit was also reflected red by the fire of the explosion. Because the time interval between the explosions of the shells is very short, we do not hear the intervals of explosions at all. The sound was like an atomic bomb explosion, and it came from the outside in a steady stream! The sand on the top of the tunnel was also shaken and fell down in large chunks.

But then again, I really haven't heard the sound of an atomic bomb explosion......

After a long while, the sound of the rocket explosion slowly faded, and the explosion of the shell gradually became clear. The purpose of rockets is to kill and injure enemy infantry in large numbers, while artillery shells are designed to blow up enemy fortifications! Of course, ten minutes of bombing is indeed not a long time, which is nothing compared to the amount of bombing that our army bombed for half a day a few days ago. But if the coordinates are accurate, the damage caused to the enemy's fortifications cannot be underestimated!

Before the sound of the artillery had completely stopped, several red 'colored' flares suddenly rose at the foot of the mountain. This was the signal for our army to charge, and I did not dare to be slow when I saw this, and with a wave of my hand, I shouted at the soldiers: "Comrades! Come on! ”

"Rush!" The warriors roared, like a long snake, and one by one they burrowed out of the mouth of the pit and pounced into the darkness outside. I also 'stiffened' the rifle in my hand and followed the soldiers out of the tunnel.

The air was still 'mixed', and the smell of blood, gunsmoke, and burnt was equally strong, but I didn't feel anything, and these days in Shangganling had made me accustomed to all this. Outside the tunnel, it wasn't as cold as I expected, and it even made me feel a little warm. I think this is the reason why the large amount of heat generated by the explosion of the shells did not have time to escape!

It was dark and dark, so we couldn't see the road and we couldn't see the corpses of the enemy. We can only rush to the designated high ground with our impressions and memories of the map. What you step on under your feet is either soft or loose...... The soft is the corpse, and the loose is the scorched earth!

"Kill!" The fighters shouted and rushed to the summit position of the 537.7 heights. The four parts were divided into two groups and rushed towards the first and sixth positions of the 537.7 heights!

There are a total of nine positions in the North Mountain of the 537.7 Heights, and these nine positions are so concentrated that if you circle them with a pen on the map, they will look like a handful of beads in your hand. And the No. 1 and No. 6 positions are the two most prominent positions on the anticline, and if our army wants to attack the enemy's position, the first thing to solve is these two positions!

In particular, the No. 1 position, because of its high coordinates, can be relied on to restore the No. 2 and No. 3 positions in one fell swoop, and directly take the No. 7 and No. 8 positions.

But as I expected, we attacked positions 1 and 6 without any resistance. The sound of gunfire was intermittent, occasionally mixed with the explosion of a few grenades. It was the soldiers who were 'shooting' the puppet soldiers hiding in the fortifications, and throwing grenades into the enemy's bombed fortifications. We attacked the position so fast that the puppet army had not yet reacted to the bombardment.

The fighters continued to rush and spread out as fast as they could, occupying the surrounding positions. Sixth, Fiveth, Fourth, Second ...... One position after another was controlled by us in turn. The soldiers did not wait for orders, and immediately waved their sapper shovels to build fortifications on the position.

When all the positions are under our control, I can't help but feel a little strange. Where are all the reinforcements of the puppet army? Could it be that they were all killed by the "Katyusha"? Impossible! No matter how powerful "Katyusha" is, there will always be fish that slip through the net, right?

"Chief of Staff!" Cheng Yuanqing, who attacked with my group, couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Why can't you see the shadow of the enemy?" ”

At this moment, there was a "sonorous" sound on the right, I turned my eyes to the direction where the sound came from, and I couldn't help but be startled, only to see that on the valley between the 537.7 highlands and the 597.9 highlands, there was a black press, and all the people lying on their stomachs were puppet soldiers. Supposedly they were hiding from the cannonballs in the valley.

Maybe they didn't expect us to target the 537.7 heights, and they didn't expect us to attack the position so quickly, so they didn't immediately climb up and seize the position.

Well, now they are completely *** under the fire of our army. And...... Positions 9, 3, 7 and 8 surround them like a fan......

"Hit!" In fact, before I could give the order, the gunshots were already ringing out!

Bullets whistled towards the valley where the puppet army was located, and although it was very dark and we couldn't see the target clearly, this did not affect our ability to 'shoot' and kill the enemy. The puppet army was so densely packed that at least one battalion of men was crammed into that small valley that we could penetrate several enemies with almost a casual shot.

I think that the reason why the puppet army gathered here should be due to the unique conditions of this valley.

A few days ago, when we launched *** against the 597.9 highland, the reinforcements of the puppet army also moved from the 537.7 highland to the 597.9 highland through the mountain range that connected the two highlands. In order to kill and injure the reinforcements of the puppet army and reduce the pressure on the 597.9 heights, our artillery also often organized artillery bombardment of the 537.7 heights, but the results have not been ideal.

At that time, I was wondering, according to the puppet army reinforcements on the way to move, there were no fortifications and tunnels to hide from artillery fire, how did they survive under the fire of our army?

Now I finally understand that the secret is this valley in front of me. This valley faces north and there is a high mountain ridge that can block most of the cannonballs fired from the north, and it is an excellent hiding pit.

But now, this pit is going to be their grave!

The sound of gunfire, explosions, and screams weaved together. This is not a war at all, but a ***. The volunteer soldiers condescendingly 'shot' bullets into the valley, threw out rows of grenades, and even some soldiers threw explosive "medicine" bags into the valley...... Only the puppet army in the valley was blown up, and the corpses were all over the field, screaming all over the sky!

On the other hand, the puppet army. Shooting 'shooting' can't find the target, throwing grenades but because their grenades are oval, it is very easy to roll back and blow themselves up in this steep valley, coupled with the volunteer soldiers throwing grenades down in pieces***, so that they have no chance to fight back at all, so they can only hopelessly hold their guns and 'indiscriminately' put them in the sky. There were even quite a few pseudo-military Chinese hysterically shouting at us: "We surrender!" We surrender! ”

When people reach the moment of life and death, and they are powerless to resist, there will always be people who want to survive, even the 'elite' pseudo-ninth division is no exception.

It is said that in Western countries, such as the United States, surrender in such a situation would not be considered a shameful thing. Because they feel that since it is no longer possible to turn the tide of the war, it is human nature to save lives by surrendering. Therefore, these surrendered soldiers will still be treated as heroes when they return home. But in our Eastern countries, we don't think so.

But no matter what, this point seems to make no difference to the puppet army in the valley! Because the warriors simply ignored their calls!

The puppet army also has another meaning when it is called surrender at this time, that is, the delaying tactic in Sun Tzu's Art of War. This valley is not without escape, the opening of the valley is at the foot of the South Mountain of the 537.7 Highland, and they only need to escape there to be safe. In this dark night, there is a good chance that they will escape from our 'shooting' range. It's just that the volunteer soldiers split their heads and cover their brains with a burst of 'chaotic' bombing, so that they didn't get up and run away at all.

The volunteer soldiers will not be stupid enough to give up such a great opportunity at the moment, and they also know that if we really believe that these puppet troops will surrender, we will let go of our hands, and those puppet soldiers will run away with a shout.

But then again, I think there must be some of those puppet soldiers who are called surrendering who really want to surrender, but who cares about him? At the same time, no one cares! Do you still let us go down and ask them one by one if they really want to surrender?

Explosive packets, grenades, and blasting canisters were thrown down one by one, setting off a bloody storm in the valley, but in a moment, the whole valley was like a container full of blood, exuding a foul stench and a strong smell of blood.

At this time, the machine gun sound of 537.7 Nanshan suddenly rang out, and the puppet army stationed in that direction seemed to want to rescue these puppet soldiers trapped in the valley. So soon a company was sent to charge our troops.

"Tutu ......" A few flares came up, and the pale light just allowed us to see the tragic scene in the valley clearly: there were bombed corpses of the puppet army everywhere, helmets, weapons, stumps and broken arms were woven and overlapped, and blood was collected along the slope to the bottom of the valley, like a stream flowing slowly downward......

But we simply didn't have time to appreciate this masterpiece, because the puppet troops in other positions had already launched an offensive against us.

“？？！ (Korean: Kill!) "The puppet army shouted and rushed down at us, and the No. 11 position on Nanshan and 597.9 Heights also 'fired' at us at the same time, almost crushing us to the point where we couldn't lift our heads.

537.7 The South Mountain of the Heights is very close to the North Mountain, but after a while, the puppet army ran in front of us, and the light of the bayonets 'shooting' the flares 'chaotically' in front of us. The volunteer soldiers hurriedly diverted their fire and turned their guns on the enemy who rushed up.

"Hit!" With my order, the fighters opened fire again.

The troops of the puppet army charged down in platoon under the fire of our troops, but because we were suppressed by condescending fire from the left, front, and right, the battle was very difficult!

Cheng Yuanqing raised his hand and threw a grenade out, and a bullet 'shot' through his right wrist, blood flowing. I saw the situation, but I couldn't do anything. Because the enemy rushed up in front of us in waves, I did not dare to stop for a moment, and I feared that as soon as I stopped, the puppet army might rush to our position and hit us with their bayonets a few times.

I hoped that Cheng Yuanqing would be able to go back to the tunnel by himself, but he didn't. His right hand could not move, and it was very inconvenient to throw a grenade with his left hand, so he pounced on the enemy without saying a word, carrying a blaster.

"Company Commander Cheng!" I was shocked when I saw this, and I thought that he would die with the enemy.

But I soon found out that I was wrong, and when Cheng Yuanqing was ten meters away from the enemy, he used all his strength to send the blaster forward...... There was a loud bang, the smoke was filled, and the blaster exploded in the shock 'wave', like a giant hand, which made the enemy ***. Taking advantage of this time, Cheng Yuanqing climbed back to the fortifications with both hands and feet.

I helped Cheng Yuanqing into the position, and said with a wry smile: "I thought you were going to die with the enemy!" ”

"How can it?" Cheng Yuanqing didn't seem to care about the injury on his wrist at all, and said with a smile: "I still have to save this life and kill more enemies!" ”

"Go back to the pit and bandage it!" Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet attacked, I said to Cheng Yuanqing.

"Chief of Staff, I can still do it......"

"Obey orders!" I ordered in a tone that could not be resisted: "By the way, inform the troops who follow up behind, and temporarily return to the tunnel to standby, the position is too small to accommodate so many people!" ”

"Yes!" Cheng Yuanqing replied helplessly, turned around and crawled towards the mouth of the tunnel.

The puppet army then hurried up again, although they also knew that it was too late to rescue their comrades in the valley at this time, and they could only collect the corpses at most. But they still want to drive us off the ground, or...... They also want to avenge their dead comrades.

Whatever the reason, they attacked us like crazy, and time and time again, groups of enemies were annihilated by us. However, because our army was suppressed by fire from the heights on three sides, the casualties of the volunteer soldiers were not small. One fighter after another fell in pools of blood.

Looking at this situation on the battlefield, I couldn't help but secretly feel anxious, what is going on with the troops of the 597.9 heights! At this time, the 11th position has not been taken down!

You can't fight like this!

I turned my gaze to the 597.9 heights on the right flank and gritted my teeth, they can't beat it down, we'll fight back!
