Black smoke chokes the nose, poisonous fire burns people! The whole battlefield was a fiery red, and a 'wave'* of heat 'waves' came in with the wind, making me think I was standing in a steamer.

Before Li Baocheng and the others could completely extinguish the fire, I took Li Feng and the soldiers of the fourth company to drill out of the mouth of the tunnel with guns. As soon as I got out, I was choked by the air full of gasoline and burnt smell outside, and when I looked at it, the mountains were full of fiery red flames, and as soon as the mountain wind blew, these flames were beating happily in front of us, as if they were going to us.

Under the flames, the stones burned red, the earth clumped, and the corpses were burned until only black skeletons remained...... It's like we're in a mountain of flames, and we're in a hell's fire!

Li Baocheng led more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Company to shovel the soil quickly, their movements were very fast, and they kept waving shovels with both hands, and the scorched earth kept surging towards the fire area like a 'wave' and 'wave', but it took a while to extinguish the poisonous fire. The warriors did not dare to stop for a moment, because they knew that in such a situation, whoever could extinguish the flames first and occupy the position on the top of the hill would be able to seize the initiative in this war and finally achieve victory.

"Time is life, time is victory!" , this sentence gets the most direct expression on the battlefield.

Li Feng and I followed closely behind with the soldiers, each with their guns aimed at the hilltop position, always on the lookout for an enemy suddenly appearing there. But there was still a sea of fire, which at least tells us that the enemy has not yet had time to take positions, and that we still have a chance......

Where will the enemy be?

I do not know! Because I couldn't see the hilltop position, and I couldn't hear any movement from the gunfire around me. But I think that at this time, the puppet army should have almost occupied the forward position of our army!

The pseudo-military is prepared first, and it is easier to deploy troops in a spacious area, unlike us who are drilled out of the tunnels. Plus they're also much more numerous, so there's no reason to be slower than us. Since we are almost at the top of the mountain, they should have almost reached the No. 9 and No. 10 positions at the front!

Then it quickly occurred to me that it was good that positions 9 and 10 were occupied by the enemy, but behind them was the position of the main peak of No. 3, in case they occupied this commanding height, and we did not come to extinguish the flames in a hurry, then we would be completely under the enemy's fire and unable to charge, and then we would still have to retreat to the tunnel.

So I immediately waved my hand and ordered: "Mortar preparation, target positions 9 and 10!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters answered, and immediately a dozen mortar gunners began to set up their guns on the hot ground.

I'm making an assumption that if the enemy has already captured positions 9 and 10, then the mortars can kill and injure the puppet soldiers and prevent them from extinguishing the fire and continuing to advance towards the main peak position No. 3.

It would have been better if they hadn't had time to take these two positions in a hurry, and the mortar shells would have sent the burning liquid from the positions flying everywhere...... Those puppet soldiers who are putting out the fire will have to suffer!

Since mortars can cause a lot of casualties and cause some problems to the enemy no matter what, then why shouldn't I?

The fighters moved very quickly, and soon set up the mortars and adjusted the elements.

The task of the mortars on Shangganling was originally to bombard the enemy charging on the front slope across the mountain on the anti-slope, so the coordinates on the anti-slope had already been measured in advance, and even their own positions were no exception, so of course it was effortless to make preparations at this time.

"Put!" As soon as I gave the order, as soon as the soldiers who grabbed the shells and put them in the muzzles let go, the shells slid into the mortars, and then only a few cannon sounds of "tom tom ......" were heard, and an explosion was heard on the top of the mountain, followed by the hysterical screams of the puppet soldiers!

It must have exploded on fire, and I couldn't help but be happy when I heard the screams. I knew that if it had been a direct wound from a mortar shell, the screams would not have been like this. This voice is all too familiar to me, not long ago, more than a dozen volunteer soldiers on position 8 were killed by the enemy's incendiary bombs. When they are surrounded by flames, they let out this cry from the depths of their hearts, this pain that goes deep into their bones! Your puppet army also has today......

"Put!" I saw that the mortar was effective, and I would not let go of this good opportunity, so I immediately waved my hand, and more than a dozen shells flew over.

"Boom ......" was another 'chaos' sound, and the screams and shouts on the top of the mountain were more and louder.

Molotov cocktails are a good thing! It's a viscous 'sexual' liquid, and if it burns, it won't go out if it hits a cannonball, but will fly west of Mars, which is much more powerful than shrapnel.

The explosions of "boom ......" were blown up on the anticline of our army, and it seems that the puppet army was unwilling to be bombed like this, and also fired 'fire' shells in our direction.

These shells also exploded piles of sparks, but unfortunately, this was the first time that the Pseudo-Ninth Division had attacked the 597.9 heights, and they were not familiar with the terrain of our army's position at all, so these shells exploded far away from us, and they did not pose a threat to our army at all.

But I know that this good fortune will not last long. The puppet army is not a fool, they know that after they are not hit, they will quickly adjust the angle and change the coordinates and continue to bomb, as long as a shell falls around us, it can bring us a lot of casualties.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shout: "Speed up the fire extinguishing, mortar cover!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters in charge of extinguishing the fire also knew that the situation was critical, so they unanimously accelerated their speed. The mortar gunners continued to fire shells at the enemy one after another.

So before the two armies met, the two sides started a mortar battle and a fire fighting competition!

Obviously, because the volunteer fighters were familiar with the terrain and calculated the coordinates, they had the advantage in mortar battles. But the puppet army took the lead because they were prepared to extinguish the fire.

But this point doesn't seem to be important anymore, because at this time, the soldiers of the Eighth Company, who were in charge of extinguishing the fire in front, have already approached the position of the No. 3 main peak, as long as we go a little further, we can climb the main peak one step ahead of the enemy......

But that's when the question arises! There are many rocks and little soil on the main peak position, and the soldiers can no longer shovel the soil like a 'tide' to extinguish the fire like just now, so they can only shovel a shovel of soil in the place where there is soil and run a long way to extinguish such a small piece of fire. So the speed quickly slowed down, and I think this is also the reason why the puppet army has not occupied the main peak position after so long.

Just when I was secretly screaming badly, Li Baocheng shouted: "Line up, two lines!" ”

There was no need for Li Baocheng to explain more, the soldiers understood as soon as they heard it, more than a dozen people lined up in two rows with tacit understanding, extending from the place where there was soil to the No. 3 position, the people in the back shoveled the soil one by one, the people in the middle moved the soil one by one, and the people at the top continued to pile the soil into the fire one by one......

Looking at me, I couldn't help but secretly praise, sure enough, I deserved to be a soldier of the Eighth Company! This thing may seem small, but this combination, this command, makes them look almost like the same person!

The sea of fire succumbed with the cooperation of the warriors, and retreated step by step towards the top of the mountain. Seeing that the position was in front of me, but at this moment, the head of a puppet soldier suddenly poked out from above, and I couldn't help but be startled, and I pulled the trigger without thinking about it......

"Bang!" With a bang, the puppet soldier's head rolled off from above, and his lifeless body fell into the flames, and in the blink of an eye, a fire ignited.

But this is only the beginning, because I know that behind this puppet army, there will be countless puppet troops who will keep up, and once they get a foothold on position No. 3, then not only will we not have a chance, but we will also have to pay heavy casualties!

"Grenades!" I yelled at Li Baocheng.

Li Baocheng was not stupid, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately 'drawn' two grenades and threw them at the No. 3 position. But unfortunately, Li Baocheng threw not an anti-tank grenade...... Ordinary grenades have a delay in exploding, which is very short, but the puppet army has enough time to kick them down, and they even threw five or six grenades in the direction of our army!

Ace to ace, the methods and reactions during the battle are almost exactly the same, and even the time is not much different!

"Get down!" I yelled and fell to the ground.

First of all, there was a burst of heat from the ground, which made my internal organs almost cooked. This was followed by a few loud bangs, and as soon as the ears "buzzed", the head became a blur, and the whole world seemed to start shaking.

"Da Da ......" The sound of gunfire and cannons soon rang out. I was dragged to a rock by two warriors, one on the left and one on the right, and one of the warriors fed me a few sips of cold water, and then my mind gradually became clearer.

I snatched the kettle and poured it on my face and head, and finally regained some of my senses. There were no injuries on his body, except for a few blisters on his hands. Thinking about it, those grenades exploded at a relatively close distance, and I was almost stunned.

Looking at the battlefield again, it has already been 'chaotic' at this time. Just when we were only a dozen steps away from the main peak position, the puppet army climbed up one step ahead of us.

However, the volunteer soldiers did not give up, Li Baocheng and his party risked their lives to lie on the path leading to the No. 3 position and refused to come down, and the other soldiers could not rush up, so they had to set up machine guns below and shoot rows of bullets on the position.

The puppet army is not pleasing for the time being, and the side of position No. 3 close to our army has no fortifications and obstacles to hide, which is a small action that the soldiers do when they capture the position, the purpose of which is that in case the position is taken by the enemy, it will not be too difficult for us to take it back. Therefore, although the puppet army is condescending, it is suppressed by our machine-gun fire and does not dare to come out.

The only thing they could do was to throw grenades one after another in the direction of our troops.

One grenade after another exploded among the soldiers, and one by one the fighters fell in a pool of blood screaming, and even some grenades fell into the burning fire, setting off a spark......

My eyes have always stayed on Li Baocheng's group lying on the path, and they are the only ones who have a chance to attack. They were in the way, and none of the fighters behind could get up! They don't have to worry about the grenades of the puppet army, the grenades of the puppet army are oval, and they will roll on the steep slope, so Li Baocheng, who is very close to the position, is the safest in this grenade battle.

But the problem is that Li Baocheng still has a burning zone more than ten steps away in front of them!

Do you continue to extinguish the fire? Time simply does not allow them to do this, our soldiers are suffering a large number of casualties under the grenades of the puppet army, once I can't suppress the puppet army and let them raise their heads, it will be our nightmare.

Throwing a grenade at the top of the mountain? Facts have proven that this is useless, it does not take much time and strength for the puppet army to condescendingly kick the grenade down, even if one or two grenades can successfully explode on the position, it will not stop the steady stream of reinforcements from behind.

Then there is only one option, and that is to rush forward!

But......

The liquid of the incendiary bomb is a viscous liquid, and if you rush to it, everyone knows what will happen when you step on this area!

"Kill!" As soon as I had this idea, I heard the two fighters at the front of the line on the path rush towards position No. 3 with a loud shout.

No, they are not rushing, they are climbing. Position 3 is too steep, and you have to use both hands and feet to rush up quickly. But the result of using both hands and feet means that the flames will ignite their bodies faster......

I don't know what it's like to have a fire on your hands and your feet. All I know is that a few blisters on my hands are still tingling. So I thought, if I made this stinging a hundredfold worse, it spread all over my hands and feet, even my body and face...... I couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

But what I didn't dare to imagine was what the two warriors were now suffering, and the liquid of the incendiary bomb burned so fast and so vigorously that they were only halfway up to the point where their hands and feet were covered in flames, and their roars turned into screams. But they still climbed up desperately, and by the time they finally climbed to the position, they had completely turned into a "fire man"!

The puppet army on the top of the mountain seemed to be startled by the two "burning men", and let out a frightened and panicked cry. They seemed to want to escape, it seemed that they wanted to dodge, but it was already too late, and the two "burning men" tried their last strength to hug them to the death.

I don't know what kind of fighters the fighters of the "White Horse Division", the 'elite' unit of the puppet army, can be intimidated. But I know they did! Not only did they frighten and repel the puppet army, but they also raised another fire at the top of the hill, burning flames with their own bodies, blocking the puppet army's pace of reoccupying the hilltop position.

"Extinguish the fire!" Li Baocheng gritted his teeth and shouted. At this time, when the puppet army could not throw grenades, and took advantage of the little time that the two fighters had fought for with their bodies. Li Baocheng took the dozen or so soldiers to wave the shovel again and extinguished the last fire on the trail as fast as possible.

Almost at the same time, the puppet army also brandished their rifles and re-attacked the position, Li Baocheng roared, and rushed forward with the soldiers wielding shovels!

"Comrades, avenge the comrades of the Eighth Company! Come on! Li Feng, who was below the position, also roared, and with a wave of his pistol, he rushed to the No. 3 position along the path with the soldiers of the fourth company!

The sound of gunfire and grenade explosions soon rang out on another slope, and it was only when I followed the path to Position 3 that I overlooked several surrounding positions that the battle was decided. Under the charge of the soldiers, the troops of the Puppet Ninth Division retreated to the foot of the mountain like a 'tide' for the first time.

This is indeed very puzzling, the number of the puppet army is much more than ours, and the total number of soldiers on our surface positions is less than a hundred, but the puppet army is densely packed everywhere, not to mention five or six hundred. But they will withdraw to the foot of the mountain for the first time, having already occupied the forward positions of our troops. This is compared to the courage of the people who never withdrew, at most only the distance from which our grenades were thrown.

This must have something to do with the fact that the position was full of flames of incendiary bombs, and their large forces were unable to charge! But I think the bigger reason is that the two soldiers who burned themselves to buy a moment for the volunteer army suppressed the morale of the puppet army!

At this time, I remembered a sentence said by a veteran: "Fighting a war is actually a murderous spirit." Our murderous spirit suppresses the enemy, and the enemy will lose. The murderous spirit of the enemy crushes us, and we will lose! ”

In this battle, although the number of our army was small, the murderous spirit suppressed the enemy. So we won, and I was victorious by the two warriors in front of me, who were still smoking and fiery and clutching the enemy in their hands......

The fighters quickly dispersed after taking their positions. They rescued the wounded, extinguished fires, and did fortifications, so I couldn't believe that most of them were still recruits.

An enemy plane swooped down from behind us, as if trying to take advantage of the fire below to strafe and bomb the target, but then something strange happened......

Suddenly, the enemy plane flashed red and exploded in mid-air, blowing up in pieces, and the sky was full of fragments of the plane that were flying everywhere with the light of fire. The only remaining wreckage of the plane was like a fireball of black smoke, whistling and rushing towards the retreating puppet army camp, falling to the ground and tumbling and bouncing a few times, and finally stopped moving!

I was wondering about the plane's self-detonation when I heard the observation post excitedly shouting: "The plane hit the howitzer shell!" It deserves to die! ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers on the battlefield all laughed.

Looking at the puppet troops under the position, they were even more stunned by this scene.
