Chapter 11 Garrison
"What a name! What kind of behavior are you? Typical individual heroism, serious left-leaning adventurism. It's our regiment commander who is sitting in the car, and you drove like this with the regiment commander? You almost caused our entire army to 'suffer' losses, you know? The formation of our troops' network is still in its infancy, do you know how much damage it will cause to our regiment, our division, and even our army if something happens just now? It's nonsense! ”
After a while, Liu Shunyi led the troops to catch up in a hurry, and he was relieved to see that I was fine, and then caught Xiao Wang, who was looking for an opportunity, was a fierce criticism.
"Deputy Head Liu!" Seeing Xiao Wang being criticized, I felt a little unhappy in my heart, and I couldn't help but step forward and persuade: "Xiao Wang can't be blamed for this."
"Captain Cui!" Liu Shunyi said in front of me: "When the superiors make mistakes, can we as subordinates criticize and correct?"
"Well, of course!" I replied with some reluctance.
There is no way, the habit of the Volunteer Army has been around since the time of the Red Army. Now I don't think I can rely on it.
"It's not to blame the regimental commander. It's me". Xiao Wang seemed to want to take the fault on himself, but he was glared at by Liu Shunyi and took the rest of the words back.
"So good". Liu Shunyi said to me with a straight face: "Captain Cui, I think your behavior just now is wrong. As the head of a group, you should always think of the heavy burden on your shoulders. Shouldering our whole regiment, not the whole army or even the whole army. The hope of the Corps. You can't just take a moment of breath and put your life at risk. This is a very irresponsible performance
"Hmm, uh-huh, yes, I nodded a lot.
What else can I say in the face of Deputy Head Liu's criticism? In fact, I also felt a little impulsive just now, and this is not going to the battlefield to fight. If it's a desperate fight with the enemy, it's worth dying, and if it's a "heroic sacrifice" in drag racing. "That's really dead, then I'm really sorry for Master Pang and them. It's just that I was so angry at the time, how could I have thought of so much.
"And you". After criticizing me, Liu Shunyi pointed the finger at Zhang Mingxue and others who were standing behind me tremblingly: "How did you do it?" When what kind of guards, where were you when Commander Cui was in danger? Especially you
Liu Shunyi unceremoniously pointed at Xu Yongwei's nose and scolded: "I can't keep up with the rapid march for only three nights!" Do you want Captain Cui to give the car out to you, do you protect the head of the regiment or does the head of the regiment protect you? How can you do a good job of protecting like this! You give me a good introspection, if you continue like this, you guards will not be able to do it properly, go home and farm! ”
Seeing this, I couldn't help but exclaim, once this Liu Shunyi talks about military regulations and criticizes people, it is really not a shame at all. Seeing that Xu Yongwei's eyes were red, I felt a little unbearable in my heart, and I was thinking about how to help them out. Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Xianhao relieved me.
"Captain Cui!" At this time, Li Xianhao's face was still a little unsightly, but his eyes were no longer as arrogant as before, which should be due to Xiao Wang's performance of driving skills in front of them, letting them know that the volunteers were not what they thought, just a guerrilla!
This girl! Thinking of this, I can't help but feel hatred in my heart again.
I can't figure out why they still look down on us and say that we are guerrillas when their performance on the battlefield is so far from ours.
"Captain Cui". Li Xianhao was frightened by Xiao Wang's moment just now, and said with some surprise: "The front is the defense area arranged for you by the superiors, let's walk."
"What? Ahead is our defense zone? "I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, because I couldn't see the U.S. Army or the People's Army here, and even a few gunshots were fired a few miles away, arranging this place as our defense area, does that mean that we are all idle in the rear" Liu Shunyi also thought of this, which was also what he was most concerned about, so he couldn't help but come up and ask: "Comrade Li, can you let us see your defense map?" ”
"This. , to ask Major Kim what he means! ”
Depend on! Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse again. We are the regiment commanders, and if we want to see where the enemy is, where the KPA is, or even where they have arranged us, we have to ask this little battalion commander! But this major is surnamed Kim, so he won't be a person with some background!
Liu Shunyi gave me a look, and before I could understand what he meant, Liu Shunyi smiled and said to Li Xianhao: "We don't know Korean, don't we?" I came in a hurry and didn't bring Zen, and I had to work hard for Mr. Li to help us talk to this Major Jin! ”
Hmm, when I heard this, I knew the meaning of Liu Shunyi's 'look', this guy really deserves to be the deputy commander! So quickly planted a mine for these KPA guys. He knew I could speak Korean, but he pretended we didn't know any of them. If these KPA guys really believe it. If we speak military secrets unscrupulously before us, then we will be blessed."
"This. Of course, of course". This guy Li Xianhao seemed to really believe that none of us could speak Korean, but he was relieved to talk to the two KPA majors at a glance.
"Major Kim! They want to see the arming map, how about it? Show them? ”
"Is it okay not to show them? You can rest assured. We were ready for a long time
Xin Gong has changed the defense map. Most of the gastric positions are similar, except that the muscles are removed from the rigid gastric position."
"It's still Major Kim who thinks thoughtfully! I was worried about it just now."
"If you can't even think of that, how can you do things in the intelligence department?" The Major Kim said with some smugness.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart when I heard this. This guy is from the Intelligence Section, so maybe their mission is not only to spy on us, but also to spy on our military intelligence or something.
"That's that, that's that". Li Xianhao nodded for a while, and then asked for Major Jin's opinion: "Then this defense map."
Major Kim didn't speak, but walked back to the jeep and casually took a map and spread it out in front of us. Then I don't know if I want to be addicted to *** or what, I put on a domineering posture and said to us: "The enemy we face is the five divisions of the puppet army, and the line of contact between our army and them starts from the mouth of the Imjin River in the west, and goes east through Gao'lang' Puli, Lian', Tieyuan, Jinhua, Dengdae-ri, Wolsan-ri, Shaquan-ri to the east coast, and the entire front is more than 80 kilometers long. A total of five divisions of our army were stationed. In addition, the second line stretched from Muro-ri in the west to the North Han River in the east, and a total of two divisions of our army were stationed. ”
Major Jin said while Li Xianhao went through the diagnosis, and finally Major Jin drew a large area on the map, pointed a few high ground and said to us: "This is your defense area, there are a total of five high grounds, there is no problem!" ”
See the location of our defense zone on the map. Liu Shunyi and I couldn't help but look at each other, because this defense zone is not even a second line. Moreover, these high ground do not form a straight line, and we have no line of defense there at all. That's almost a random random point of a few piles of high ground on the map for us to garrison, put on a show and pull it down.
"Major Kim!" As soon as he saw Liu Shunyi of the People's Army's arrangement, he didn't agree, he hurriedly pulled Li Xianhao and said: "Mr. Li, you tell Major Jin about it, I'm afraid that this arrangement is inappropriate!" We're stationed here, isn't there not even a single enemy in sight? So what kind of battle is there to fight? ”
"This" Li Xianhao said with some embarrassment: "This is the meaning of the superiors, I'm afraid that Major Jin won't be able to call the shots!" ”
"But! But how can this work? "The so-called concern is 'chaos', Liu Shunyi wants to make some military achievements and make a name for himself, so when he heard that this was the case at this time, he couldn't help but panic when he used to be a deputy army commander and let him no longer be patient.
"Commander Cui, you, you have something to say" At this time, Chief of Staff Li and others also came up. As soon as I saw the arming map, I lost all my minds. Chief of Staff Li anxiously urged me on the side: "Commander Cui, the so-called clever 'woman' is difficult to cook without rice, even if we can fight again, but now it is like this."
But how did Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and the Chief of Staff urge. I just looked at the defense map silently. I, the head of the regiment, didn't speak, and it was difficult for others to say anything more, so they were so anxious that everyone sighed and stomped their feet beside them. "Mr. Lee". After a while, I raised my head and asked, "How far is our defense zone from the front line?" ”
"This" Li Xianhao is completely unfamiliar with military affairs, and turned around and asked Kim Chanxiao in Korean.
"It's five or six kilometers." Major Jin looked at the map for a while and said, "Our second front is five kilometers away from the first front. Your position is just a little behind the second front, about this distance. ”
"Then no problem!" I picked up the defense map and stood up, shaking it at Commander Liu and the staff officers. said categorically: "Just station according to this defense map!" Five highlands! Look at how to defend, if you can't hold it, there will be big problems."
"Captain Cui!"
"Captain Cui!"
Liu Shunyi and the others originally thought that I would argue with them, and even if the result was not satisfactory. They also wanted me to go to the top of the hierarchy, and they wanted me to fight for a chance to go into battle anyway. They didn't expect me to fight for the land, so they agreed. I was so anxious that they all gathered around me and wouldn't let me go.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that they were all anxious, I pretended to be confused and said, "Is it that the orders given by my regiment commander are not up to the task?" ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned and didn't speak.
"If you still think that I am the commander of this regiment, then immediately carry out the order!" I said in an accentuated tone, "Digging a tunnel to do the fortifications, I want to find a place to rest early."
"Yes".
"Yes".
Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and the staff officers responded one after another, and listening to their intermittent answers, I knew that they were all unconvinced. It was only because of the military rule of "resolutely carrying out the orders of the superiors" that I had to accept it.
As a result, the volunteer soldiers soon began to build fortifications under the command and deployment of Deputy Regiment Commander Liu. The regiment headquarters was temporarily set up in a tunnel dug by a net. The radio soldiers quickly set up a radio station to contact their superiors and report the situation, while the signal soldiers were busy holding telephone lines to the surrounding high grounds. Although Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and the others had a lot of complaints in their hearts, they were not ambiguous in their work, and in less than half a day, the field fortifications on these five heights had been built in a decent manner.
"Captain Cui". Just when I, the regiment commander, was lying idle and napping in the tunnel, Deputy Regiment Commander Liu hurriedly walked up to me with a telegram and reported: "The headquarters is in a hurry, and our army has begun negotiations with the enemy. We are hereby ordered not to engage in war with the enemy
"Hmm! Started negotiations? I pretended to be confused, sat up, took the telegram and glanced at it, and then shouted to Zhang Mingxue, who was standing nearby: "Call the chief of staff to come and have a meeting."
"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue answered, and quickly ran out of the tunnel.
In fact, I have known for a long time that the negotiations have begun now, and it should be said that not now, just after the end of the fifth campaign, China and the United States have already begun to negotiate. It's just that this was still a high-level secret at the time, and ordinary soldiers didn't know about it.
Chief of Staff Li and a few people soon arrived. To my surprise, Li Xianhao and the others seemed to have heard the movement and brought the two majors to the meeting, and said vigorously: "Commander Cui, in order for us to defeat the enemy better and more unitedly, I think we should eliminate the estrangement between each other and work out a combat plan together!" ”
"Of course, of course!" I snorted at my husband: "Then what do you mean, can I sit in your division headquarters tomorrow and make a battle plan with your division commander?" If you can, then please come in! ”
Li Xianhao and the others obviously didn't expect me to say this, and after discussing with Major Jin and the others for a while, they left in disgrace under the pretext that something was wrong.
"The net received a telegram from the headquarters, saying that it was going to negotiate, what do you think?" After Li Xianhao and the others walked away, I handed over the telegram casually.
The chiefs of staff took the telegram and looked at it, and they all hung their heads like wilted cabbages.
"Why at this time!" Huang Xianhua, who came to stab him, lit a cigarette, and in an instant, smoke filled the tunnel, and the smell of choking smoke filled the hall. "It's good! Anyway, we didn't fight here! Jiang 'Chun' Zeng from the worm master also said frustratedly: "It seems that we are going to work for nothing." If you want to fight, God won't let us fight! ”
And Li Xiangming, who originally belonged to the division, was even more 'fine', pulling his head and not saying anything.
Only Liu Shunyi had no expression on his face. I couldn't tell what was going on in his mind.
"What? Just give up?.
"Head Cui, this has to be negotiated. You say we're here,"
"You don't know the cunning of US imperialism!" I laughed and said, "I've been fighting the Yankees for months, and I know all too well about their deceptive tricks, they often pretend to surrender and let us go out to take prisoners, and our fighters come up and they '' them from behind and shoot them!" I guess this time, they're pretty much playing this trick! ”
"Really?" Hearing this, there was a little 'spirit' in everyone's eyes, and even Li Xiangming raised his head to look at me.
"It doesn't matter if he's real or not!" I spread out the map in front of me and said, "All I know is that if it's true, the Yankees are really playing with us." Then when they come, if we are not prepared, it will be a flail.
In fact, how can I have such a good attitude, I just know from modern sources that this negotiation is not over, and it took more than two years to finally negotiate while fighting, and this is just the beginning!
"That's right!" Hearing this, Li Xiangming couldn't help but sit up and said, "Captain Cui is right, we can't just give up, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we must persevere!" ”
"But" Chief of Staff Chiang asked again: "We have been arranged to the rear, and we can't even see the shadow of the enemy, so what are we fighting?"
"If you can't see the enemy's curtain now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to see it in the future!" I said noncommittally.
"What does Captain Cui mean!" Staff Officer Jiang couldn't help but look at me suspiciously.
"Comrades!" I stood up and said, "You are so focused on going to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, but you have forgotten the purpose of our troops' visit this time. We came this time because the combat effectiveness of the People's Army is weaker than that of our Volunteer Army, and their defensive position is the weakness of our defensive line, so the boss sent us to help the People's Army hold its position, otherwise it is very likely that there will be a situation when we attack the US defense line! ”
"What was the situation when we attacked the American lines?" After a pause, I continued: "We always break through the defenses of the relatively weak puppet army first, and then the American troops have to retreat because their flanks *** are in front of us. We exist to prevent the same thing from happening to us! So comrades. You have to make it clear that our purpose is not to go to the front line of the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to imagine that after the People's Army is repulsed by the enemy, we will be nailed here like a nail! ”
"That's right." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, the so-called authorities were 'confused', and they were the army. Because I cared too much about whether I could make meritorious contributions and strive for the opportunity to turn over, I forgot the original task.
"So". I finally concluded: "There is nothing wrong with us stationing here, the enemy can't beat us, and we can easily complete the mission." If the enemy comes here, it's time for us to play our role."
"Good!" Everyone shouted in unison. It seems that this is the only way to understand that I promised to be stationed on the second line
Cause.
But what they don't know is that the real reason why I agreed to be here so simply is because I know the enemy will come to me.
