That night, I spoke on the phone with a company on the hollow heights. I know that the U.S. military did not launch a fierce attack on the tamed heights, as I imagined. And because I was prepared militarily first, and the enemy's bombardment did not cause many casualties to the company, I finally settled down.

I ordered the soldiers to rest in place, to be ready to reinforce the hollows at any time, and to 'hand' over to the soldiers to inform me as soon as they were in a situation. After doing this, I was relieved to lie down on the 'bed' and rest.

My habits are different from others, and other commanders may be so nervous that they can't sleep during the battle. Or maybe they will stay awake for days and nights in order to keep an eye on the development of the battle situation, but I think it is more and more at this time. The more you need to rest. Because at this time, what I need more is a calm and sober mind, so that I can make correct judgments at critical times.

Although I had trouble falling asleep because I had not fully adapted to the battlefield environment after a few months after the war, I managed to force myself to fall asleep.

But I hadn't slept long when I was suddenly awakened by the sound of a heavy cannon. In fact, when I woke up, I found myself on the ground, and the vibrations of the heavy artillery fire knocked me off the bed.

It was pitch black all around, and the kerosene lamps had long since been shaken to something.

I only felt the gravel and sand pouring down like a waterfall overhead, and the warriors were running in front of me, and one of the warriors was saying something loudly beside me, but I couldn't hear anything from the rumbling cannons.

I couldn't help but panic, everyone said that the moment when I just woke up is the most vulnerable time for a person. Therefore, babies often cry loudly when they wake up and can't see their mothers. I didn't believe it before, but in this moment I did.

In the past, no matter how thrilling the battlefield was, although I was afraid, my mind was still clear, and I could still think and finally come up with a way to solve the problem. But now, I find myself running out of ideas, like a lost kid who doesn't know what to do.

It was pitch black in the tunnel, and I couldn't see anything, so I was blind; The rumbling of the cannon made it impossible for me to hear anything else, so I became deaf; I couldn't even hear what I said, so I was dumb, "I just woke up from a dream, and suddenly I was in this situation. I was so frightened that I didn't react for a long time, and I even wondered if I was in a dream or in reality.

It's no wonder that some people say don't wake up those who are sleepwalking, because doing so will probably scare them to death. I think I'm in the right place. Da is on the verge of being scared to death!

I told myself over and over again. This is nothing more than the shelling of the enemy. The fighters are all in the tunnel, I don't have to do anything, I don't need to do anything, we're safe now"

After a long while, I slowly calmed down, and then I realized that I was covered in cold sweat, and my clothes were soaked, and my whole body was cold. In the midst of the sound of the cannon, I stood up with a shudder. It took a while to 'touch' his rifle on the 'bed', and then I couldn't help but settle down. On the battlefield, the only thing that can bring confidence and courage to yourself is your comrades. I think that's why soldiers who have been on the battlefield. tends to regard their comrades-in-arms more seriously than their relatives. The reason why you will think that the gun in your hand is more important than your own life!

He wiped the sweat and mud from his head casually, and straightened his military uniform in the rickety tunnel. I grabbed my rifle and ran towards the mouth of the pit.

When I stumbled to the mouth of the tunnel, I found that the fighters were all lined up with weapons in hand, ready to attack. By the light of the fire that appeared and disappeared outside the tunnel, I noticed that the soldiers were all dressed neatly. And submachine guns, grenades, etc., are well prepared. Seeing this, I couldn't help but cry out in my heart to be ashamed, if I am a small person. It's like me, and I don't have to fight this battle.

But after a while, I felt that something was wrong, the bombing of the US military had no intention of stopping at all, and a few strange whistling of planes could be faintly heard in the sound of the explosion. The air blowing in from the mouth of the tunnel was mixed with an unpleasant smell of burnt fire in addition to the smell of gunsmoke. The smell of burnt is familiar. It seems that it was smelled on the battlefield just now. Right! It's the smell of petrol bombs."

As soon as I thought of this, I hurried one. Rushed to the exit of the tunnel, and without saying a word, picked up the sandbags stored in the side wall and piled them up at the mouth of the tunnel.

The few warriors beside me quickly understood my intentions. Immediately, four or five fighters came up to help. The long hours of fighting together made the fighters have a tacit understanding with each other, in this environment where it is impossible to 'communicate'. They came up with a division of labor and cooperation. Two people were responsible for carrying the sandbags out. Two people are responsible for the teleportation, and the rest are responsible for stacking sandbags on top of the tunnel mouth. It only took a moment to seal the mouth of the tunnel tightly, and the sound of shells turned into a muffled sound.

At this time, I suddenly felt a hot 'wave' coming, and several bright red poisonous fires poured in from the cracks of the sandbags with a foul smell, and the pitch-black tunnel couldn't help but light up at this moment, and I saw the soldiers' faces full of happiness. If we hadn't blocked the mouth of the tunnel in time, we don't know how many soldiers would have been burned to death when this fire came down.

"*** These Yankees!

"What are you doing if you have nothing to do?" Get 'Lao Tzu covered in dirt!' ”

The mouth of the pit was blocked to block out the sound of the cannons, and I could finally hear what the soldiers were saying, and all I could hear was the sound of the soldiers cursing. At this time, I don't know who turned on the flashlight, and then found a kerosene lamp and lit it, and the tunnel was lit up. I saw the light and heard the sound again. Looking at the comrades-in-arms around me, my heart full of fear was completely relaxed at this time.

"Chief of Staff!" Company Commander Miao came to my side and said, "This time the Yankees are playing a little out of shape."

"Hmm!" I nodded, I also felt this, usually the US military rarely went to our high ground in pieces like this, this time the number of fights was large, not to mention the long time, and there were planes to assist in bombing together.

Could it be that the U.S. military is about to start attacking?

"Look at me!" Instructor Qin said happily: "We bombed the U.S. troops last night, and then took a few of their positions, they are not convinced to launch a *** against us!" ”

"Hum. A bang. My head was 'messed up'.

Instructor Qin was right. The U.S. military is due to the upcoming UN General Assembly and presidential elections. So the U.S. military at this time is very sensitive. In other words, at this time, they must not lose face on the battlefield at all, otherwise they will be in a very disadvantageous position politically.

So does this mean that if I suggest that our army attack the enemy first, I will 'force' the US army to launch the Shangganling Battle early?"

Why didn't I think of this? Thinking of this, I burned and began to regret it, I only thought about launching an attack on the US military to 'disrupt' their arrangement and establish a buffer zone on the front line, but I didn't expect that our offensive would 'force' the US military to launch ***.

But that's fine, when the U.S. forces are fully prepared to attack, we will definitely be under more pressure. Now the U.S. military is being 'forced' by us to attack our army in a hurry, and this may still be a good thing for our army!

It's just that I originally thought that there would be more than a month to prepare, but I didn't expect that the battle of Shangganling, which shocked the world, would come so suddenly.

And me. Now stand on this Shangganling.

"Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff" I was thinking about it, when suddenly a telephone soldier ran over: "Chief of Staff, the regimental headquarters called, saying that there was an emergency."

"Hmm!" I answered, and without saying a word, I ran to the headquarters.

I knew that the time I had to talk to the regimental headquarters was precious at this time, and that the telephone lines could be blown up by enemy fire at any time. And to get in touch again, maybe it will cost the lives of the telephone soldiers or the correspondents. So I ran all the way to the command headquarters, grabbed the phone and identified myself.

"Staff Officer Cui, I'm Zhang Xinyuan." The voice of Regiment Commander Zhang came from the other end of the phone, and he also knew that the call time was precious, so he went straight to the point: "We have received reliable information from our superiors, and it is very likely that the enemy has launched an offensive against your position. This also proved that your analysis was correct, and the enemy named the plan for this operation "Showdown Operation." Plan. The purpose was to improve the defensive line north of Jinhua and try to turn the tide of the battle. Therefore, they wanted to directly capture the Zhukou Heights and the Mi 7 Heights, and then threaten the main peak of the Five Sacred Mountains. In order to take your position in one fell swoop, they put more than 300 'gates' of artillery and more than 40 flying pines in your direction."

The sound of "hey, hey" suddenly broke off here, and when I put down the phone, I was sure that the U.S. army had really launched the Battle of Shangganling in advance. The thought that I would soon personally lead this war that shocked the world made me feel a little inexplicably excited, and at the same time stressed and worried. I'm worried: this battle was fought well without me in history, and now that I'm here, what if I mess it up!

"Go and inform the company commanders immediately. Come here for a meeting". Thinking of this, I immediately ordered.

"Yes!" The correspondent answered, turned around and ran from the aisle to inform the cadres of the companies.

"The Seven Divisions of the United States". I typed the map and looked at these words written on the enemy's position.

I am still quite familiar with the US Seventh Division, not to mention that I 'fought' with them when I was in Mapingli and almost died at their hands, and I also know something about this unit in modern materials.

The Seventh Division of the U.S. Army is a famous ace division in the United States, known as the "Drip Division." This means that it has always been as accurate in its mission as the "drip trap" used in ancient timekeeping.

The glorious history of this ace division is too many to count, especially the achievements in the Pacific theater during World War II are even more impressive. He participated in the attacks on the Aleutian Islands, Guajarin, and even on the Japanese island of Okinawa, tearing a gap in the strong defensive line that the Japanese army desperately defended. laid the foundation for the total annihilation of the Japanese army, and thus obtained the "spearhead." The title.

"Chief of Staff".

"Chief of Staff!"

After a while, the company commanders and instructors arrived. Shangganling was originally stationed on the first company and the ninth company, and later because of my analysis. Regiment Commander Zhang sent six more companies and seven companies up. The first company had not yet withdrawn from the hollow heights, and at this time there were only three companies, the sixth, seventh, and ninth companies.

I nodded at them, and shouted to them, "Comrades! Now the superiors have confirmed that the enemy has launched *** against our army, and the main target of the offensive is the old "state 7 heights" that we are stationing! The enemy will cry the operation name card battle, count ※

"No wonder the enemy is so vigorous." Miao Huaizhi said with a smile: "It turns out that they still regard us as their main target, let alone say it." We're afraid they won't see us as their main target! ”

"Coax!" The warriors all laughed.

"Comrades!" I motioned for the soldiers to be quiet, and said solemnly: "This battle is not easy to fight, according to the intelligence of the superiors. In order to be able to take these two heights of ours in one fell swoop, the enemy transferred more than 300 'guns' in our direction. There are more than 40 planes, and the enemy we face is the enemy's ace unit, the US 7th Division, so the soldiers must not take it lightly! ”

"Chief of Staff rest assured!" Wan Fulai, the commander of the Sixth Company, replied: "We have seen a lot of ace divisions. Didn't the gill regiment of the chief of staff also fight several? We must also learn from your regiment and resolutely fight the enemy's ace division."

"That is". Miao Huaizhi waved his fist and said, "Ordinary troops, we can't enjoy fighting." It's like last night's Yankees on the high ground. Just throw a few grenades and you'll be reimbursed, and you'll have fun playing aces."

"It's good to have faith! But be more careful when fighting! I nodded and said, "The biggest difference between us and the enemy is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, the enemy has one division, and we only have three companies, plus a company on the continent and high ground has only four companies. Coupled with the error of our army's judgment, all the artillery was oriented towards the Sifang Mountain and Douliu Peak. There was basically no artillery support on the Zhukou Heights and the Suqi 7 Heights, and there were only a dozen or so 'guns' of mountain artillery temporarily moved up on Wusheng Mountain, which could not suppress the enemy's artillery at all. In that case, I think we should take a priority approach defensively

"Light first, then heavy?". Hearing this, all the soldiers couldn't help but cast suspicious 'confused' glances at me.

"Hmm". I nodded, and continued: "The enemy has the advantage of aircraft and artillery. If we place too many fighters on the surface positions, there is a high probability that we will suffer heavy casualties under the enemy's bombardment. Therefore, in order to preserve the living forces, we initially only placed a small number of troops on the surface positions, or only left a few sentries to observe and guard, and when the enemy's artillery was ready or the attack began, we sent reinforcements one by one. At this time, the enemy's artillery will be apprehensive because of the proximity of the enemy and us."

"Makes sense". Instructor Qin agreed: "This is what Chairman 'Mao' said about saving yourself and destroying the enemy. Only by knowing how to preserve oneself can we destroy the enemy more effectively, and blind individual heroism is unacceptable."

"Chief of Staff!" Zhang Jifa, the commander of the Seventh Company, raised doubts: "Fight in this way. In case the enemy attacks too hard. If our firepower doesn't rush to suppress them, won't we lose our position? ”

"You can abandon the surface position if necessary!" I nodded and said, "With enemy planes and artillery bombardment, the cost of holding the surface position is too great

"But the Chief of Staff." Immediately, someone stood up and objected: "The order given to us by the superior is to hold the high ground of Sukou and the high ground of the 7th Height. How can we just lose our position?

"Yes! Chief of Staff". Miao Huaizhi also objected: "The position can't be lost, if the position is lost, how can we have the face to go back to see the regiment leader."

"I didn't say I'd go back to see the regiment leader!" I replied, "I mean, abandon the surface position and retreat to the tunnel".

"Retreat to the tunnel?. When I say this, the fighters don't understand it even more. "Chief of Staff, is this going to work?" At this moment, even Director Qin was muttering: "Let's nest in this tunnel, didn't the enemy set up a few 'strong' machine guns and suffocate us?" ”

"It works". I replied confidently, "Of course, this is when the surface position cannot be held to hold the tunnel. If we retreat to the tunnel, the enemy will not be able to attack the main peak of the Five Holy Mountains with confidence, because then they will show their backs in front of us, so the position is not lost. What's more, during the day, the surface positions are theirs, and at night we can drill out of the pit and fight them back."

As soon as I said this, the warriors stopped talking, because they had never fought like this before.

Looking at their suspicious looks, I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart.

Indeed, it is indeed 'quite' scary to fight the enemy in this dark tunnel. Because the enemy outside can toss us as much as they want, fire, smoke, poison gas."

However, it is precisely in this way that they have persisted in fighting against the US military, which has absolute superiority. Now let me say it in advance, even they can't believe they can do it.

This makes me believe a little more. When people are trying to survive, when they are desperate to die, the potential is endless! I believe that these fighters in front of me can do this, and I am sure that they can do it!

So I immediately ordered: "Order the 1st Company to withdraw immediately, and the 1st and 6th Companies to be stationed on the Chou 7 Heights, and the 7th and 9th Companies to be stationed on the Zhukou Heights." Be sure to crush this enemy attack! Victory is ours".

"Yes!" The soldiers answered and immediately returned to their units to organize the battle.

A war of blood and fire is about to begin!
