At one o'clock in the evening, the warriors were woken up silently after five hours of rest. Many of the soldiers were still sleepy-eyed when they were woken up, but after hearing the order, they did not hesitate to pack up their bags and get out of the tents and air-raid 'shelters' to assemble.

The soldiers were a little bitter, risking their lives during the day to fight for a day, and at night they only rested for five hours and were about to go to the battlefield where their lives hung by a thread again. Although this kind of suffering is nothing to me, a soldier who came from the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, it is undoubtedly a kind of torture for soldiers who have been in a peaceful society for a long time and have just stepped onto the battlefield.

This is not? Each warrior yawned in the darkness with his mouth open, or he stumbled on his feet.

"Comrades!" I lowered my voice and gave an order to the soldiers: "The goal of the umbrella night is ............ Buckle Horse Mountain! The task is to reach the main peak of Kuma Mountain before dawn, and launch an attack on the main peak of Kuma Mountain at seven o'clock after deploying troops! "What? As soon as I said this, all the fighters were awakened with fright. Although they knew that there would be a mission tonight, they never expected that it would be a night attack on Kuma Mountain.

We have been to the highland of Kuoma Mountain, and yesterday the five companies detoured to the back of the 417 highland of the mountain to launch a surprise attack from Kuoma Mountain. Therefore, the soldiers knew very well that in the dense forest of Kuma Mountain, it was difficult to find a way even during the day, let alone at night.

However, I don't know whether the soldiers believe me or obey orders, and although there are many doubts in their hearts, no one raises them.

After a pause, I continued: "The comrades of the artillery unit will guide us in the direction with the sound of artillery, and we will follow the sound of artillery all the way. In particular, when attacked by a small group of Vietnamese troops, all units were required not to 'mess up' and that all those who were standing and running must be killed on their stomachs until the alarm was lifted. The 5th Company was at the forefront, responsible for reconnaissance, road opening and demining; The 'shooting' strike team followed closely behind, ready to snipe at any time and prepare to snipe the small units of the Vietnamese army that might appear: the fourth and sixth companies followed, except for the cadres who could communicate through the walkie-talkie, no one could speak, and they must rush to the main peak of Kuma Mountain before dawn, is there a problem? ”

"No problem!" The warriors replied in a whisper.

"Good!" I nodded, and then ordered: "Now travel lightly, and leave everything except combat equipment and a day's supply of compressed biscuits!" For jungle warfare, this is actually crucial. The last time we met the Vietnamese army in the jungle, "we suffered like this because we had no experience, and the Vietnamese army only had a few magazines and a few grenades, plus they had AK47 in their hands and nothing else, so that they could jump up and down in the jungle like monkeys."

And we...... Marching quilts, military uniforms, canned food, and the like, all add up to seventy or eighty pounds. This weight is only one of the reasons, and it is inevitable that there are so many things on the body, and it is inevitable that this strap and that strap will be hooked and hung by branches or shrubs in the jungle...... It is often fatal.

"Yes!" , the warriors had no doubt about my order, "immediately relieved themselves of excessive weight and food."

"Camp Commander Cui!" Just as I was about to give the order to set off, I didn't know when the chief of staff came to us with Political Commissar Huang and several regiment-level cadres.

"Chief of Staff!" I have to admit that it was a bit of a surprise to see them at this time, because it was late at night, and there was really no need for the pampered chief of staff to come there himself even if he didn't sleep.

Later, I learned that the chief of staff attached much more importance to this battle than I thought for the sake of his career. In other words, for a very fortuitous reason, I was already in the same boat as this chief of staff.

"Good work!" The chief of staff 'touched' my hand heavily, which made me a little shocked.

This surprise is not because one of his chief of staff is willing to succumb to shake hands with me, the battalion commander, Lao Tzu shook hands with the army commander and the commander, "Where will you still put you as the chief of staff in your eyes." I was shocked that this chief of staff and I were originally mortal enemies, but now why did I suddenly ......, "Comrades have worked hard!" The chief of staff lowered his voice again and called out to the soldiers.

I know that at this time the fighters should answer: "Serve the people!" It's like a chief's inspection on TV. But where would these recruits know this, and replied nonchalantly: "It's not hard! "The chief is also hard! And because most of the soldiers were dissatisfied with the previous performance of the chief of staff", these words sounded more like polite words, and only the political commissar Huang standing next to him laughed at it.

"Comrades!" After being embarrassed for a while, the chief of staff raised his fist and said: "You are good, your Battalion Commander Cui is good, you have completed the task again and again under the leadership of Battalion Commander Cui, and you have created miracles again and again." I believe that "you will also create a miracle tonight, take the main peak of Kuoma Mountain, and report to the people of the motherland with this excellent achievement!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters responded, "but not enthusiastically."

The chief of staff nodded at me helplessly, and I waved my big hand and "shouted" to go! ”。 The soldiers bent their waists and cautiously 'touched' in the direction of Kuma Mountain.

"Boom!" With a bang, a cannonball exploded on the main peak of Kuma Mountain. Its burst of light pierced the dark night sky like lightning, and at the same time pointed us in the right direction.

In fact, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Vietnamese army, our artillery fired at the main peak of Kuma Mountain all night without a single shot, and did not stop for a moment. I think the Vietnamese troops on the main peak of Kuma Mountain have been nervous for a while, but what they didn't expect was that the artillery was just to show us the way......

It was the same road we took to the 417 heights, and the soldiers stepped on this road twice in one day, but for different purposes, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little strange in their hearts.

Ten minutes later, we came to the foot of Kuma Mountain without any danger, and the soldiers involuntarily stopped in front of this 'gloomy' highland. I also looked up at the high ground that had swallowed the lives of countless soldiers, and then gritted my teeth and ordered the walkie-talkie: "Enter the mountain!" "Yes! With Li Zhifu's response, the soldiers of the fifth company went in without looking back.

I can't see my fingers! We thought it was dark outside, but as soon as we stepped in, we realized what real darkness was. This level of darkness makes it impossible to see the task in front of us at all, and it can even be said that there is no difference between open and closed eyes, and even if the trees are in front of us, we will run headlong.

This forced us to use our rifles as a guide 'stick' to find our way in front of us, and the soldiers of the 5th Company were always in front of us with the agreed animal calls.

At this time, I couldn't help but secretly complain, all I had thought about was the theoretical feasibility of 'sex', and I only thought that we could not see the enemy, and the enemy could not see us, which seemed fair, but I did not consider how difficult it would be to march in such a dark night.

The initial march was quite smooth, after all, our army also entered Kuoma Mountain several times during the day to look for the main peak, so the first part of the road was not difficult to walk, and we could basically find a passage like a road. But the more you climb, the more difficult it becomes, the branches are getting denser and denser, the greens are getting more and more, and the road is getting more and more difficult to walk.

But after a while, Li Zhifu reported on the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander! If you can't go like this, you can't see anything, you can't open the road, you can't reconnoitre, and you can't clear mines! ", I think it's also, this is pitch black, let alone demining, I'm afraid that I don't know if I collide with the devil face to face.

"Or ...... Hit on the flashlight! Someone soon proposed: "Anyway, we don't plan to hide from the Yue devils to go up the mountain, this can't be hidden, this mountain is full of mines, as long as you step on a mine, it will be exposed......", this soldier also said some truth, the Vietnamese army is not so stupid, such an important high ground does not know how to defend and do not know how to bury mines. What's more, we used rifles as guide 'sticks' along the way, and the Vietnamese army could find us by hiding a sentry in the shadows. Therefore, it is almost impossible to sneak into the main peak without the Vietnamese army, and this is not our strategic purpose. Our aim was simply to use the sound of artillery to point the way to the main peak, and to use the darkness to close the distance to the Vietnamese jungle warfare.

But now, if I were to turn on the flashlight, it would undoubtedly give the Vietnamese army an excellent target.

"No way!" , Li Shui 'Bo' quickly objected: "The sniper of the Yue Devil is not a joke, our soldiers can be detected by them 'smoking' cigarettes, not to mention flashlights?" Let's show one and they fight another, but in the end we still can't beat it! "What should Lou do? Li Zhifu ran out of ideas when he heard this.

I couldn't help frowning, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve, we are not worried about being discovered by the Vietnamese army, in fact, we have long been prepared to be discovered by the Vietnamese army, but ...... If we had to use a flashlight to get up, it seemed that the Vietnamese army would be able to stop us with just a few snipers.

A little disappointed, he sat on the ground and then 'touched' a dead branch on the ground, and couldn't help but order to the walkie-talkie on a whim: "Use a black cloth 'door' flashlight, and then tie the flashlight to the branch to illuminate!" ”

"Hmm!" The warriors were stunned when they heard this, and then agreed: "You can try!" After a while, several special light sources tied to dead branches appeared. The door was covered with a black cloth to prevent the light source from diffusing to illuminate the person holding it, and it was tied to a dead branch to increase the height so that the Vietnamese snipers could not correctly judge the position of our soldiers. I remember using this trick when I was shooting cold guns in the past, in order to attract the target to shoot first and expose the 'exposed' position, but I didn't expect it to be used for lighting this time......

Of course, we don't dare to use this light source on a large scale, that's no different from looking for death. The reconnaissance platoon that was just walking in front of them used two or three very carefully, and these two or three were 'doors', and there was only a little light more than a dozen meters away from several layers of black cloth. But this is enough, not only to give the reconnaissance platoon enough visibility, but also to point the fighters behind them in the direction so that they do not 'get lost' in the night.

Relying on such a little hazy light, the soldiers advanced all the way in the direction pointed by the sound of artillery, and walked for more than half an hour without finding any shadow of the Vietnamese troops, except for the reconnaissance platoon found three mines and a trap, nothing happened.

Could it be that the Vietnamese army is asleep? I couldn't help but be suspicious, things went much more smoothly than I thought.

At this time, suddenly "Bang! A gunshot rang out from the front, and one of the scouts fell to the ground and shouted, "Enemy situation has been discovered!" Fuck, the marksmanship is accurate enough, and the flashlight has blown him up! ......"A few more gunshots rang out from behind our army, and then I heard a report from my hometown: "Vietnamese troops were found behind our army, and Vietnamese troops were found behind our army!" "There is also a ...... on the left"

"And on the right! We're surrounded! ”

The gunfire soon erupted, with the occasional explosion of a few grenades, but I soon discovered that most of them were our soldiers firing. So he hurriedly shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Stop 'shooting' and stop 'shooting' ......"

The gunfire slowly stopped, and the surroundings were quiet and dark again, as if the Vietnamese soldiers had never been there.

"Comrades must stay calm!" , I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "The more devils are not strong enough, they simply have the ability to surround us, they are consuming our bullets, all units pay attention to saving ammunition 'medicine'!" ”

"Yes!" Several company commanders responded with some embarrassment, and they were obviously panicked just now.

But this seems to be understandable, who can not panic in the night battle that we are not good at fighting on other people's land!

But from another point of view, fighting in the jungle at night seems to be the safest, as long as we don't shoot, just lie down wherever you want, and no one will find your place. In addition, the jungle is full of trees that cover the sky, so mortars, recoilless guns, etc., almost all become decorations; Machine guns and submachine guns can only hit a few dozen meters at most, and no matter how far they go, all the tree trunks will be blocked............ So this jungle war, especially the jungle war in the dark night, if you are not careful, it will become a 'hand-to-hand' fight, and the more devils are so people, it is strange that they dare to fight with us!

However, I did not expect that the Vietnamese army would be so 'shrewd', for example, just now, the Vietnamese army obviously wanted to create a 'commotion' and 'chaos' of our army and take advantage of the 'chaos' attack. It's like a few fierce wolves dealing with a flock of sheep, they will chase around the sheep and howl to cause the sheep to 'commotion', and then it will be much easier for them to hunt down the lone ones.

Now, we are like the sheep, and the Vietnamese army seems to be the wolves eyeing us.

But...... What they don't know is that we will not be a flock of sheep to the slaughter, but a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing.

After thinking about it, I lowered my voice and ordered the walkie-talkie: "The 'shooting' strike team is lurking in place, and the other troops continue to advance!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters responded, and the dozen or so members of the 'shooting' group immediately followed my orders to find hiding places, while the main force continued to move forward under the leadership of the reconnaissance platoon.

I found a large tree more than a meter wide and squatted down with my back against the trunk. While there was still time, I lowered my voice and ordered: "The 'shooting' team, no matter what, are not allowed to leave their sniper positions, listen to my orders to shoot, and kill all the people who are standing, do you understand?" "Bright nose! The warriors answered, knowing what I was going to do.

The soldiers of the fourth company stumbled past our defensive line, and then the troops of the sixth company also walked past us vigilantly, and no one noticed that there were more than a dozen soldiers hiding in this area. From this point of view, our concealment is still very successful.

The light of the reconnaissance platoon's flashlights faded away, and the soldiers' footsteps slowly faded away, and the surroundings returned to silence and deep darkness again, except for a few cries of unknown insects.

I don't know how long it took, and I couldn't help but be taken aback by the sound of a dead branch breaking behind me............ Listening to this sound was less than thirty meters away from me. The more devils actually managed to be so close to me in this poor visibility situation before I found out............ Either he's too familiar with the terrain or he has a knack for jungle warfare!

But no matter what kind of category he belongs to, don't try to please me today!

But after thinking about it, I didn't dare to be careless, and tried to slow down my breathing without making a sound, while listening intently to the ...... behind me The footsteps are more and more and clearer. The number of people was as small as I expected, and there were only a dozen of them, which could be judged by the sound of their footsteps.

In fact, this is very easy to understand; the so-called small ship is good to turn around, and to fight guerrilla warfare is, of course, an attack by a small unit; if it is a company or two companies at every turn, although its combat effectiveness is strong, it is easy to 'expose' itself, and if it is not careful, it will again engage in a hard-fought offensive and defensive battle with our army.

This is also the reason why I let the 'shooting' team participate in this battle alone, there are too many people, it is easy to 'mess', and once 'messy', you will be injured by mistake, so the best way is to use a 'fine' soldier to quickly cut the 'messy' hemp!

Suddenly, I felt a slight vibration in my back, and I knew that a Yue devil was leaning against the same tree as me. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, if I choose the side of the trunk to hide, it is very likely that I will collide with the more devil......

I closed my eyes, I didn't dare to catch my breath, and then I only felt a light breeze around me, and I could even smell the faint smell of tobacco in the wind...... I scolded secretly: This girl is a smoker! Someone like him can smell him just by smelling him, no matter where he lurks!

After a long while, I slowly opened my eyes and saw that not far ahead, more than a dozen Vietnamese troops were cautiously following the main force of our army......

It's time for us wolves in sheep's clothing to do it
