Chapter 32: Cover
A moment of silence for my notebook. If the strap is broken and falls on the ground, it will break the hard drive, which is really a golden body......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Comrade Xiao Cui!" Head Zhang said to me apologetically: "I don't blame you for leaving you behind!" ”
"Report to Captain Zhang, don't blame!" As soon as I stood up, I said: "**A soldier must not be afraid of hardship and sacrifice, and I will go wherever I am needed!" Resolutely fulfill the mission entrusted to us by the party and the people! ”
When I said these words, I secretly screamed in my heart, if I really blame you, you won't let me go, it's better to say it more righteously!
"Good!" Head Zhang nodded: "I'm relieved if you say that, in fact, I have no choice but to call you this time!" Our regiment didn't have much ammunition in the first place, and most of the special forces who fought the Yankees that night were consumed, and now it's really a bit hard-headed, so I'm just wondering if I can use the least bullets to get the most results like those American snipers! That's when I thought of you......"
"Captain!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder: "After defeating those US special forces, didn't you capture some ammunition?" ”
"Those bullets aren't enough to stuff your teeth!" Regiment Commander Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think those American soldiers should have received an order not to leave the ammunition to us, so when our army rushed forward, they destroyed all the remaining ammunition. We were able to get supplements. It was nothing more than a few bits found from the corpses. ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, and then I realized that the U.S. military had a plan not to let us get supplies from them, no wonder during this time, before every attack was repulsed, they tried their best to retrieve the bodies of their comrades, even if some of the corpses could not be recovered in time, the volunteers had nothing to eat except for some limited bullets found on them. In retrospect, it must have been that they were not allowed to carry any food until they were ordered to attack.
"My idea is ......" After being silent for a while, Regiment Commander Zhang continued: "A thousand soldiers without bullets are not as good as a hundred soldiers with bullets, so I want to gather all the bullets in the whole regiment and pick out more than 100 veterans with the best marksmanship in the whole regiment to be led by you to defend the 175 heights!" ”
"Captain Zhang!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be shocked: "Don't say that we can't withstand the enemy's bombardment, let's just say that no matter how accurate this shot is, it can't knock out the enemy's tank!" ”
"Don't worry!" Head Zhang replied: "I have already dug a tunnel on the 175th Heights!" The tunnel can be protected from enemy shelling, and the highway bridge will be handed over to us, as long as the highway bridge is blown up and the enemy is not allowed to build it, the enemy's tanks will not be able to cross. ”
After a pause, Regiment Commander Zhang continued: "Your task is very difficult, you have to face the attacks of several enemies at the same time, we can't provide you with assistance without bullets, and in order to preserve our living forces, we will soon be out of battle!" ”
"Hmm!" After listening to Commander Zhang's words, I realized that I had also become a part of the covering force. But think about it, I'm afraid this is the only way to complete the cover mission and preserve the strength. In the event of a shortage of ammunition, rather than dispersing the ammunition to a regiment. Let everyone be short of ammunition, it is better to concentrate ammunition on a selected elite army, the combat effectiveness of the two is not much different, and the former has to sacrifice several times the number of people of the latter.
Although this seems to be a little unfair to the soldiers left behind, there is no fairness on the battlefield, there is only a cruel reality on the battlefield, what method can better kill and injure the enemy to save himself, what method is the most efficient, that is a good way.
"How? Determined? Head Zhang asked.
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! "I didn't like it very much, but I had to accept it.
"Remember!" Head Zhang finally confessed: "The 175 highland is here, and the highway bridge is there; If the highway bridge is there, the Yankees will not be able to cross it, so that our large army can retreat safely! So you have to hold out all night, retreat before dawn, and never let the enemy repair the bridge to let the enemy's mechanized troops pass, understand? ”
"Understood!" I secretly complained in my heart, hold on to retreat before dawn for one night, even if we can hold out all night, at dawn the next day, can we still retreat?
So I led my troops up to the 175 heights, with a company of 115 men. All of them are elite soldiers who can fight from the regiment.
I usually have relatively little contact with the soldiers of other regiments, so although I am now their acting company commander, I don't know anything about most of them, except for Xiao Chen, the guard I have met a few times. This made me want to change Commander Zhang to a company commander several times, but it didn't seem to be a good thing to think about changing generals in battle, so I gave up.
Walked on the 175 heights only to find that the top has completely changed its appearance, more than a dozen large and small tunnels around the top of the mountain to build, a log in the side wall and the top of the tunnel firmly supported, after walking in, I found that these tunnels are actually connected to each other, and the mouth of the tunnel is also open in a position conducive to shooting, that is to say, basically hiding in the tunnel can shoot at the enemy, the entire top of the mountain is built like a giant pillbox, there are deep trenches outside the tunnel, It seems that Head Zhang has put a lot of thought into this.
The bullets were counted, more than a dozen magazines totaling more than a hundred rounds, as well as three grenades, a grenade, and the rest of the company's fighters were about the same, plus a few explosive packs and grenadiers. Although there were several machine guns, there were only about 500 rounds of ammunition, so they were simply thrown to a machine gunner to pull down.
As the sun gradually set, I stood on the high ground with a sniper rifle, watching the last rays of sunlight gradually disappear in front of me, and I couldn't help but sigh, I don't know if I can see this lovely sunshine rise again tomorrow.
I also thought that a few days ago, our regiment was here to besiege the US special forces, but now we are stationed here waiting for the US troops to come and besiege.
With a loud "......boom", when the large army withdrew, the highway bridge was quickly blown into two sections, and Regiment Commander Zhang quickly withdrew with his troops, and at the same time told us that the enemy was coming.
"Comrades!" Before the enemy comes up. I convened the cadres of the company for a simple meeting: "Comrades, this war is an extremely severe test for us, but I believe that with our unity and courage, we will be able to defeat the enemy's aircraft and artillery and successfully complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors!" ”
"Resolutely complete the task!"
"Swear to live and die with the position!"
……
The fighters clenched their fists in response. It's not a short time to be in this world, but I've learned how to motivate the fighters.
"Comrades!" After a pause, I continued: "Although the regiment has left all the bullets for us, more than a hundred rounds of ammunition is not much, and it will be gone in a few minutes if you fight quickly, so ah! In this battle, everyone must remember to watch the fight, do you remember the sniper of the US army? ”
I pointed to my eyebrows and said, "Fight here, I don't ask for many enemies to be beaten, and I don't want to fight fast, but I need to hit accurately, so that all the enemies will have their heads blooming, and the enemies will be chilled!" ”
"Company Commander Cui?" At this time, someone asked suspiciously: "What if the Yankees rush up in a swarm?" Shall we fight slowly? ”
"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "Comrades, hold your breath, the Yankees are afraid of death!" Let's beat him a few times in the head, and they won't dare to rush up! ”
"That's it!" One of the fighters said: "If this rushes up, it will be just right, let's go up and fight the bayonet, and even the bullets can be saved!"
Ha ha...... The warriors smiled lightly, as if they had not taken the coming battle to heart.
"If there is no problem, comrades, go back and prepare!" I pretended to be relaxed, but my heart was full of worries.
"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and they returned to their respective posts to prepare for battle.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Boom...... With a burst of cannon fire, the battle finally began before dark. Contrary to the habit of not launching an attack at night, the US troops carried out an hour-long artillery preparation on the 175 Heights, which was bombed until it was completely dark, and even though Regiment Commander Zhang had built the tunnels very strongly, three sections of the tunnels were still blown up under such a long-term continuous bombardment, and more than 10 volunteer soldiers were buried in it and could not be rescued.
As soon as the sound of the artillery stopped, the American troops came up, and the black pressure rushed towards our positions like waves, as if to mercilessly drown our isolated island under their footsteps.
I watched it all with bated breath, and that's when I was even more sure that the previous decision to let the fighters save ammunition was the right one. More than a hundred rounds of ammunition is not much, and the number of US troops is dozens of times that of ours. If we don't save ammunition and hit the enemy indiscriminately, I'm afraid that the American army will run out of all our ammunition after two charges. At that time, it was difficult to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors.
So, now there is only one way to delay as long as possible, and that is to shoot accurately to demoralize them.
Four hundred meters, although the enemy had already entered my sniper circle by this time, I did not give the order to shoot, because I believed that in this dark night, it would be difficult for the soldiers to hit the enemy at this distance without an old rifle without a scope.
Three hundred meters, I couldn't help frowning, although I knew that these soldiers under my command were all elite soldiers selected from a regiment, but I didn't know how good they were, the moonlight tonight was not very bright, so let's wait!
Two hundred meters, seeing that we did not shoot at such a close distance, the American troops probably thought that we had no bullets, and with a cheer, they accelerated their speed and rushed towards the high ground, but they exposed their weakness by rushing in this way.
Originally, they were in a straggler formation, making it difficult to kill them in a large area, but as they rushed up the relatively narrow hillside, the distance between them became smaller and smaller as the encirclement narrowed, but after a while, it reached the point of crowding.
"Hit!" It was not until a distance of one hundred and fifty meters that I gave the battle order to the fighters. At the same time, the rifle was raised and slammed, and a bullet passed through the neck of a U.S. soldier in front of him, and then hit a U.S. soldier in the back. In the scope, I saw the American soldier behind him fall down with a thud, but a US soldier in front of him covered his neck in pain, slowly knelt on the ground, and tried to block the blood that kept going out, but it was all in vain.
I didn't have time to admire my masterpiece, and quickly aimed my scope at the neck of another American soldier......
The Americans were attacking from the bottom of the hill, so they would unconsciously raise their heads as they charged up, and they were all Caucasians, so they would inevitably expose their white necks one by one to my guns. It's not a lot of space, but it's enough for me.
With such a dense formation of U.S. troops, there is a high probability that a bullet will penetrate the neck of the previous U.S. soldier and hit another U.S. soldier. So in my sights. The U.S. military basically fell in strings.
At this time, I was thinking that if the U.S. military was smart enough, it should let the black regiment play a role. Although their combat effectiveness is not high enough, they can even save camouflage in this dark night.
The soldiers also fired their rifles one after another, and although many of them had large eight grains captured from the American army, they all took unhurried aim and hit again according to my orders.
The marksmanship of the volunteer soldiers is already very good, not to mention these elite soldiers selected from a regiment. With the sound of gunshots, I saw that the American soldiers running in front fell to the ground one after another, and although the number of people was not large, most of them were shot in the head and killed. It's me...... Because of the appetite and the need to fight in pairs, the chance of a bullet hitting the head a second time is very small, so most of the wounded are still caused by me.
The U.S. troops were frightened by this scene, and they all lay on the ground and did not dare to lift their heads, and at first they would shoot out rows of flares, and then use their submachine guns and machine guns to return fire for a while, but the effective range of their submachine guns was only 100 meters, and the bullets were flying all over the sky. Although the machine gun had a long range, no one dared to hit it after the fighters accurately knocked out several machine gunners one after another.
Because of the angle, it was difficult for the US troops to see the volunteers hiding in the trenches even with the help of flares, so the Yankees with rifles in their hands didn't even shoot.
Then, after a while, they crawled and dragged the corpses and wounded back.
"Dog's day! The corpses were all dragged away, and not a single one was left ......behind," looking at the retreating American troops, a soldier couldn't help but scold.
I can't help but smile bitterly, the U.S. military is paying more and more attention to the problem of ammunition being reused by the volunteers, and it seems that it will not be so easy to get supplies from them in the future. It reminds me of my own sniper rifle, and if that's the case for the rest of the day, my sniper rifle will soon be in a situation where I don't have a gun or a bullet.
Alas! What do you still want to do in the future, thinking that you are already in danger, and you don't know how long you can live, let's pass the current level first!
Counting the magazines, I realized that four magazines had been knocked out just a while, and this was just a charge, and if it continued like this, the US troops would only need to charge four or five more times to consume all our ammunition, and at that time I was only afraid of ......
"Smack!" At this time, I only felt a little cold thing fall on my face, but when I reached out and touched it, a drop of water fell on my face, and then it quickly formed into a Xiaoice lump.
I couldn't help but be stunned in my heart, and secretly said God wouldn't play tricks on us like this, it was raining at this time?
As if in reply, a few drops of rain fell on my face, forcing me to admit the painful truth.
"It's raining, it's raining!" The soldiers couldn't help but panic, they were not afraid of the enemy's bullets and bullets, but they were afraid of the rain, because in such a cold weather, once the cotton clothes on their bodies were wet by the rain, it would undoubtedly be fatal.
"Into the tunnel!" Seeing that it was getting heavier and heavier, I reluctantly ordered: "All units should pay attention to the enemy from the mouth of the tunnel, and immediately warn if they find the enemy." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers answered the call and went into the pit one after another.
After entering the dark tunnel, I patted the cotton clothes on my body, and the Xiaoice condensed on the cotton clothes fell like sand. The volunteers were not equipped with rain gear, which determined that we could not fight in such a rainy day. If this is discovered by the Yankees, it will be ......
"Enemy, enemy is coming!" The shouts of the soldiers standing guard at the mouth of the tunnel made my face change greatly, and I couldn't help gritting my teeth with hatred, and greeted their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Braving the light rain to pull the troops out, hundreds of American soldiers wearing raincoats and guns walked unhurriedly in front of the high ground, and when they reached more than 200 meters, they stopped, did not rush up, but just wandered left and right, as if walking in their backyard, and from time to time they fired a few flares at our positions.
If we hide in the tunnel to avoid the rain, the distance of more than 200 meters is a matter of a few minutes, and the US troops may have rushed up before we rushed out of the tunnel to launch our troops; But if we don't go back to the tunnel to take shelter from the rain, we will soon freeze to death outside......
"Chinese soldiers!" At this time, a horn sounded in the US camp: "Chinese soldiers, the United Nations has declared you an aggressor, lay down your arms and come out and surrender!" Preferential treatment of prisoners ......"
Bang, there is a good saying, it is the rifle ...... that answers them! ~!
