CHAPTER XXVII

The air in the tunnel was so thin that the matches could not be lit, let alone the kerosene lamps, and they did not dare to light the lamps because they were afraid that the air would run out and kill them. Everyone had no choice but to gather a few cadres in the darkness and gather together for a meeting in a slightly wider place. Although all the battalion-level cadres were summoned, they were only a few chiefs of staff plus two battalion commanders and instructors. The other battalions were nesting in tunnels on other heights. Even the phone line was cut and couldn't be reached at all, but even if they were contacted, they couldn't come.

It's really inconvenient to have a meeting in the dark, because there is no way for everyone to look at a map. Fortunately, Deputy Regiment Commander Liu was capable, and he found two flashlights from the soldiers, which added light to our temporary conference room. It is said that most of the flashlights of the soldiers are used as flares when they are fighting with the enemy, and it is really not easy to find these two flashlights.

"Comrades". Although I have never liked to preside over meetings, this meeting is different from usual, because this meeting will be directly related to the life and death of the bracelet group, so at this time I did not think about liking or disagreeing at this time.

"Comrades". Using a flashlight with a low-power flashlight to shine on the map spread on the ground, I went straight to the point and said: "I plan to 'feel' out of the tunnel at night while it is dark and have another fight with the American devils. ”

"No comments".

"Hit him ***!"

Sure enough, as I expected, when it came to the battle, all the soldiers refused to show weakness, and they all clenched their fists in agreement, even Deputy Regiment Commander Liu was no exception, but only Jiang Chunzeng's chief of staff was silent and did not speak.

"Chief of Staff Chiang, Chief of Staff Huang, Chief of Staff Li". Seeing that they didn't speak, I asked bluntly, "I want to hear your opinions!" ”

"Captain Cui!" Huang Xianhua, who was anxious, was the first to speak: "We are also a member of the army, of course, we also want to fight a turnaround battle for the army, but I think that if we know that we can't do it, not only can we not turn over the battle, but it may also cause a big deal!" Maybe we will suffer the same losses as our division again."

"Yes, Captain Cui". Chief of Staff Li agreed: "The more we are at this time, the more we must keep a clear head, adjust our mentality, and not act rashly. It is worth fighting the lives of the soldiers! You can't be so reckless. "That's it. When I turned my gaze to him, he pretended not to see, and habitually 'touched' the matches and cigarettes in his pocket, and then suddenly remembered that it was not suitable to 'smoke' in this pit when the air was thin, and he couldn't help but sigh and sit on the ground without saying anything.

"Captain Cui!" Huang Xianhua continued: "I mean, we can wait for the next opportunity to turn over. There are too many enemies outside, four divisions! It is dozens of times our troops. This time, if we persist like this, we will soon be able to complete the task and achieve a victory, and if we go out to fight, it is likely that a victory will turn into a defeat! ”

"I think it's better to be safe!" Li Xiangming obviously also felt that I was too risky to do so.

"Chief of Staff Chiang, what is your opinion? Seeing that Jiang 'Chun' Zeng had not spoken, I had to name him directly.

Jiang 'Chun' exhaled a long breath, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile: "You know what I mean, we old guys are old, we just want to fight steadily, and we can't stand the stabbing 'stimulus' like you young people."

"I'm not hot-headed!" Seeing that the three chiefs of staff disagreed, I couldn't help but say helplessly: "What if I say that this battle can be fought?" Although there may be sacrifices, and the sacrifices may be large, I believe that the enemy's casualties will be greater than ours! ”

"Ball". Yi, I said this, Jiang 'Chun' Zeng was a little angry: "Tell me, we are all hiding in the tunnels, and we can't contact the soldiers in the other highland tunnels, how can this battle be fought?" How do you notify other troops? How do you inform them of the battle plan? How to work together? Have someone go into the pit and call them out? ”

Jiang 'Chun''s worries are all justified, the soldiers of our army on various heights are hiding in their own tunnels, the tunnels are not connected to each other, and the only way to communicate with each other The telephone has long been cut off by the United Army, and now we are actually fighting on our own.

Of course, if we only hide in the tunnel, it doesn't matter if we fight separately, but if we want to drill out of the tunnel to fight, then it is a big problem in terms of coordinated operations. Most of the tunnels on other heights are also in the same situation as we are now, and we have blown up the mouth of the tunnel ourselves, and we have no way to inform them of the battle plan, and at the same time, there is no way for the various units to cooperate in combat, but how could I not consider this.

"We don't need troops from the other highlands! As long as we are enough. I uttered a sentence that made everyone around me stunned.

"Commander Cui, you said it for a long time before Li Xiangming came back to his senses, and asked in disbelief: "You mean, just fight out with our highland soldiers?"

"That's right!" I nodded.

"Hu Biao, how many people are there in your battalion?" Jiang 'Chun' shone the flashlight in his hand at Hu Biao, the commander of the first battalion.

"Report ***, there are still eighty-five people who have Combat Filip!" Hu Biao replied heavily,... Our battalion has fought several times with the puppet capital division, so the wounded ten are the most stunned

"What about Li Guoqiang? The bright light of the flashlight shone on Li Guoqiang again.

"There are three hundred and fifty-seven more capable of fighting!" Li Guoqiang also 'stood up' and replied. Each battalion of the nephew's regiment is overstaffed, with more than 500 people, and it has already lost one-third of it in just a few days of fighting, and this loss cannot be said to be insignificant.

"Hmm!" After listening to the reports of Hu Biao and Li Guoqiang, Jiang 'Chun' Zeng didn't say anything, and sat on the ground with his own legs crossed and rested against the tunnel wall.

I understand the meaning of Jiang's 'Chun' increase, he will ask Li and Hu how many more battalion commanders there are at this time, the purpose is obvious, that is, to tell me that all of us add up to only more than 400 people, and relying on our people to attack more than 40,000 people in the four divisions of the United Army, that means that we alone have to deal with a hundred enemies, if we can win the battle in this way, it is simply a myth",

"Captain Cui! Shouldn't we think again? "Hearing me say this, even Deputy Head Liu was a little shaken. In fact, I know that it is not only Deputy Head Liu who is like this, but other cadres must be muttering in their hearts when they hear my crazy thoughts.

"This battle can't be fought!" Huang Xianhua has always been quick to talk, but at this time he stood up suddenly, and he didn't care about the face of me, the head of the regiment, and said bluntly: "This is a war, this is just nonsense!" This is joking with the lives of the soldiers, let alone fighting, the enemies are all guarding outside the tunnel, let's go out and fight one by one,"

"Let's not go out of the tunnel." Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, I took it upon myself to shine my flashlight at a few locations on the map.

"What? So where to get out from? Hearing this, Huang Xianhua was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Will we still be able to escape?" With the ability of the earth grandson, he can travel thousands of miles a day in the soil? ”

"Tuxingsun doesn't have the ability." I replied noncommittally, "But we have access to the positive slope."

"Hmm". As soon as I said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and even Jiang 'Chun' Zeng raised his head and looked at me.

"I don't know that the tunnels on our forward and reverse slopes are connected." I continued: "And the pit on the positive slope was blown down by them, so they won't guard against the mouth of the pit on the positive slope at all. We just need to move from the channel to the positive slope and dig a little bit outer

"It's a good idea!" Huang Xianhua couldn't help nodding and said: "At night, when it's dark, you can't see your five fingers, let's go out from the positive slope that the enemy has no defense, and we can indeed do it without knowing it." But we have too few people. Sneak attacks are okay, speaking of offense

"We're going to attack these points! Here, here, and here," I said, using the aperture of my flashlight to illuminate several locations on the map. This time, even Jiang 'Chun' Zeng was interested, leaning over to watch.

"Machine gun emplacements". Everyone exclaimed in unison, they were all battle-hardened veterans, and they quickly recognized that the positions I was pointing to were the five high ground where the American troops had built machine gun positions.

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "What I want to hit is the five machine gun positions of the US army, and there are not only anti-aircraft 'fire' machine guns on them. There are also mortars, recoilless guns. The purpose of the US military in setting up these positions is to 'force' us into the tunnel with firepower and prevent us from breaking through So there should be plenty of *** on it, and there must be a lot of flares. And the U.S. military never dreamed that we would attack these highlands of theirs, so the vigilance of these highlands should be very lax, and we secretly 'touched' to control these five highlands in one fell swoop, then."

"Then the American devils will have a hard time." Hearing this, Jiang 'Chunzeng' couldn't help but stand up, pointed at me with great interest as if he had changed a person, and said: "Good boy, you have already planned it and are still selling Guanzi, so that our group of old guys are '' in vain!" ”

"How can I sell it!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but exclaim: "You haven't waited for me to finish, just you can't say a word, he can't say a word, I don't have a chance to speak?" ”

"Yes, yes," Jiang 'Chun' Zeng looked in a good mood, happily 'touching' the mosque on his chin and laughing: "Now a few of us don't say it, just say it!" Come, come, come," continued. ”

"Hmm". I cleared my throat and continued: "I think it is still very likely that the capture of these five machine gun positions of the enemy in the dark and the enemy's weak defenses will be successful, and once these five machine gun positions are captured, there will be at least two benefits for our troops. First, you can use the high 'shooting' machine guns and mortars above to condescendingly 'shoot' to kill the joint ***.

The second is that the sound of gunfire and artillery here can just cover and guide the comrades of the approaching army, so that they can easily find the battlefield in the dark, if they can get here in time to cooperate with us inside and outside to expand the victory, then this victory is very impressive! Most importantly, either of these two benefits can be a condition for us to turn the tide! ”

"Captain Cui is right! If you want to fight, you can fight big."

"That's right! Robbed the enemy's high-altitude 'shooting' machine guns and let them taste the power too! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers all clenched their fists excitedly, looking like they were eager to try.

"Although there will definitely be casualties, I think we can fight!" Jiang 'Chun' nodded in agreement: "There is a US soldier named MacArthur who said when he landed at Inchon that it was a *** that gambled $50,000 with five dollars, and our battle today is also bad."

"Then bet!"

"That's right, hit!"

With the nods of the other two staff officers, the plan was settled.

"The first thing to do now is to prepare the pit on the positive slope." Huang Xianhua began to arrange without saying a word: "Those tunnels were blown up by the enemy, although the soil layer is not very thick, but it is very loose, and it will take some time to dig it!" ”

"Just give it to me!" Liu Shunyi took over this task without saying a word.

"Comrade Liu Shunyi!" Jiang 'Chun' patted Liu Shunyi's shoulder and said: "This work is very important, it is directly related to whether we can drill out of the tunnel in time to deploy troops!" And you can't make a mistake, once you dig it down or dig it out too early, it's very likely that *** our strategic intentions, so you have to be careful."

"Yes! Please rest assured that the task will be completed". Liu Shunyi answered, turned around and went to arrange.

"The next thing is to divide the troops into five and assign them all!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng looked at me as he spoke: "Commander Cui, what do you think should be arranged?" ”

"Hmm". After hearing this, I realized that this military matter should be decided by me, the regiment commander, and after thinking about it, I said: "According to the report just reported by the two battalion commanders, we still have 442 people who are capable of fighting, and they are divided into five equal parts, and each unit has about 80 people. Battalion Commander Hu's battalion had only eighty-five people, which was exactly the whole portion. Do you have any comments on the three companies of Battalion Commander Li's second battalion being reduced to 80 men each, and the extra 117 men being reorganized into a team of 80 people, which will be jointly led by Battalion Commander Li and me, and the remaining 37 people will stay in the tunnel to protect the wounded and the regimental headquarters. ”

"Captain Cui!" Hearing this, Li Guoqiang couldn't help but object: "It's no problem to make it up like this, but you don't have to go to the battlefield!" ”

"Yes, Captain Cui!" Hu Biao also followed: "You still stay at the regiment headquarters with the chief of staff, and you can 'hand' over this external matter to us!" ”

"That's not going to work." I shook my head and said, "Let's go out like this, but there is no phone line, if I stay in the tunnel, then I haven't cut off contact with you?" How will you command the war then?.

"Yes!" Everyone thought that if this was in the tunnel, there was really no way to command the battle, so they no longer dissuaded it.

"Battalion Commander Li!" I turned to Li Guoqiang and said, "Call those company-level cadres under your command to come up and assign combat missions!" ”

Just now, because the tunnel was too narrow, the company-level cadres were not called to the meeting, and now the company should be allowed to attack a hill alone. That, of course, is another story.

"Yes!" Li Guoqiang answered, turned around and left. After walking away for a while, he trotted over with a few volunteer soldiers 'touching' the black and stumbling all the way. Seeing that they all had a wave of excitement on their faces, they must have known some news that they were going out to fight, so they ran all the way up despite the darkness under their feet.

"We're going to take five heights in total!" When everyone arrived, I used a dim flashlight to shine on the location of the high ground on the map and said, "It's up to me, Camp Commander Hu, and this one."

I couldn't help but pause at this, because I didn't know the names of the company commanders who came to the meeting online. The company commanders were also clever, and immediately saluted me and introduced themselves: "Wu Xueshan, the commander of the fourth company! ”

"Concubine Company Commander Liu Chuanping!"

"Sixth Company Commander Yuan Yan!"

"Hmm!" I nodded, and then continued: "I, Battalion Commander Hu, Company Commander Wu, Company Commander Liu, and Company Commander Yuan each led one to take one of the five highlands.

can

Among them, the high ground on the left and right flanks of our army is extremely important because it directly faces the anticline of our army's position, and I and Battalion Commander Hu are in charge. The other three highlands were respectively in charge of the three company commanders Wu, Liu, and Yuan. The time of the operation was set at midnight tonight, and in order to prevent the troops from staying outside for too long and being discovered by the enemy, we had only thirty minutes to prepare. During this thirty minutes, the troops must drill out of the tunnels as quickly as possible to reach the designated high ground and lurk in front of the enemy's positions to prepare for battle. At 0:30, with the order of the charge, the troops launched an attack on time, demanding to occupy the enemy's machine-gun positions as quickly as possible! ”

After a pause, I continued: "The soldiers of these positions have also seen it, and it is the enemy's high-firing machine gun position and mortar position, so every company is required to have a mortar and machine gunner. When occupying positions, be careful not to blow up the enemy's *** vault. After occupying the position, make full use of the enemy's weapons, *** and flares, do everything possible to provide fire support to the neighboring high ground, and do everything possible to kill and injure the joint *** until all the bullets are gone! ”

"Yes!" The fighters responded in unison. When they were stationed on the position, they suffered a lot of losses from those machine gun positions, and many of their comrades-in-arms were sacrificed under the guns of those high-altitude 'shooting' machine guns, but helplessly they could not hit it, so they hated those high-altitude 'shooting' machine guns for a long time. At this time, when they heard that they were going to seize the enemy's machine gun position and kill the joint ***, they all gritted their teeth with light in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to rush out immediately to do a big job.

After arranging the task, I couldn't help but feel relieved. I have already done everything that should be done, and whether I can succeed depends on the night.

Now all we need is rest."
