The guns are constantly ringing and the cannons are rumbling!

On this morning, I was a little bored in the tunnel, drinking the green tea sent by Master Pang, and then walking a few chess pieces on the chessboard, intentionally or unintentionally. For me now, I am very satisfied not to be hungry, a cup of tea, and a dry military uniform.

It's been four days since the enemy began to attack! Fighting day and night made me lose my proper sense of time, anyway, whether it was day or night, if the enemy came up to fight, I was beaten again and again by us again and again. The enemy was always so helpless with our anticline fortifications that he didn't need to trick me into commanding on the battlefield at all. Moreover, as time went on, the positions of the People's Army became stronger and stronger, and their combat experience became more and more abundant, so now I have time to open the chessboard with Chief of Staff Chiang for a few games.

"Captain Cui!" I'm losing one. When the "car" and the "meat" were in pain, Chief of Staff Huang handed over a telegram: "This is a telegram sent by the superior network, which means that the enemy's purpose in launching this campaign is not to fight for how much land, but to use military victory to cooperate with the negotiations held in Kaesong, force our side to make concessions at the negotiating table, and make our side give up 20,000 square kilometers of land!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded: "So we are a pawn on this chessboard, and the real purpose of the enemy is to bring us back to the negotiating table and accept their terms."

"That's right!" Chief of Staff Huang nodded and said: "So the instructions given to us by our superiors are to do our best to hold our positions and stop the enemy's footsteps from moving the battle line to the north, so as to strike at the enemy's arrogance and win the initiative for our side at the negotiating table!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, and went back to chess, but I didn't know where to fly for a long time.

It's not that I don't know about these things, but to be honest, the timing of this negotiation was not good. At that time, our army was the victor at the negotiating table, and the tone was naturally different.

After three battles, the fourth battle can only be regarded as a crushing victory, and the fifth battle can no longer be said to be a victory, and negotiations began at this juncture. We have completely lost the initiative. It is precisely for this reason that the US military is clamoring for the so-called "sea and air compensation" and asking our military to export 10,000 square kilometers without compensation. Ridgway even openly said to the media: "With the power of our joint ***, it is possible to reach any of the demarcation lines demanded by the joint *** delegation." ”

Therefore, fighting a war now is not a matter of land, but a question of whether or not we can stop the pace of the US offensive; if our army retreats again under the offensive of the US army, even if it is only a few kilometers back, the US military may take advantage of this to continue to clamore for the "sea and air compensation" of 10,000 square kilometers at the negotiating table; on the contrary, if we can successfully block the momentum of the US offensive now, then we will undoubtedly slap the UN negotiators in the face with practical actions.

Can we hold it? If the battle continues like this, there is no problem at all in this regard for the Volunteers, and even though the combined forces have put together their 'elite' and even the 'elite' elites of the US army and the puppet army to attack the high ground of the Volunteers, they have not been able to advance half a step, but have been killed and wounded by us and thousands of people. But the KPA,

"How is the situation on the People's Army's side?" I asked thoughtfully, and after such a distraction, a cannon was eaten by Chief of Staff Chiang on the chessboard.

"There is no problem with the position and tactics of the People's Army, and they are fighting more and more easily, but" Huang Xianhua frowned and said: "It's just that their *** and food are running out, and the food is okay, they sent people to collect from the people everywhere, and they can barely cope with it, but this ***,"

My worst fears finally came. We have food and *** in advance, but the KPA does not.

Moreover, their first-line and second-line troops add up to nine divisions and more than 100,000 people, and the consumption of food is amazing.

"I said Captain Cui! You're still partly responsible for this! "Jiang 'Chun' Zeng ate me again, pawn.

"Am I responsible?" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be puzzled: "The People's Army has no food and no ammunition, what does this have to do with me?" ”

"The anti-slope fortifications were you suggesting to the KPA, right?" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng said while looking down at the chess game.

"Yes! But what does this have to do with the lack of supplies for the KPA? "Hearing this, I was even more confused.

"Why is it okay?" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng raised his head at this time and said, "You know before there were anticline fortifications; What tactics did the People's Army use? ”

"It's not the same as when we started fighting!" I said, "Just grab one." The highlands grabbed it! ”

"That's right! Here's the problem! Jiang 'Chun' nodded and said: "If the anti-slope tactics were not used, the People's Army would not be able to hold its position, but the comrades of the People's Army were unwilling to let their positions and land fall into the hands of the enemy, so it was easy to develop our net, and at first the position was seized by the enemy during the day, and the position was provoked by the people at night."

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I understood a little, and looked at Jiang 'Chun' Zeng in amazement and said: "Are you saying that this kind of battle is more of a white-knuckle battle, so it can't consume much of the People's Army?" ”

"That's right!" Jiang 'Chun' nodded and replied, "And once the puppet army occupies the high ground. Naturally, some *** and supplies will be put in the tunnel, and when the People's Army comes back, it will be able to seize some food and replenish itself. The result of such a fight is that the soldiers suffer large casualties, but the consumption is small. Now the KPA is holding its position because of the anti-slope fortifications, and every time it repels the enemy's charge, it is not always piled up with bullets! The result is that the casualties of the fighters are *** consumed! "Hmm!" Jiang 'Chun' said so. I think that's true, too.

What now? There are no bullets to fight, and no matter how many people there are in the KPA, it is useless! Although the Volunteer Army has ***, this *** is not the same as a pebble thrown into a lake among the hundreds of thousands of people in the People's Army.

This can't help but remind me of the time of the fifth campaign. The Volunteer Army is precisely because there is no food, ***. This allowed the U.S. troops to take advantage of a big loophole in the retreat and suffered heavy casualties. Will this scene be repeated in the KPA? If the People's Army retreats like this, won't the Yankees be even more arrogant at the negotiating table?

! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse secretly, if this battle in history had made the People's Army that "stupid" tactics, it would only have allowed the US army to advance eight kilometers. But now, it seems that the entire line of defense will collapse because of the lack of bullets......

"General!" Jiang 'Chun' pulled his "car" to the middle and pointed directly at my "handsome"

It's like it's going to be in my heart. I couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly: "Chief of Staff Jiang, you already knew that I would have such a result, why didn't you say it earlier?" This, now"

"Yo! Finally, there is one more thing that can stump our head Cui! Seeing this, Jiang 'Chun' Zeng and Huang Xianhua glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Commander Cui, rest assured, we have received a telegram from the net, and the enemy's large-scale attack on the Eastern Front has attracted the attention of the boss, and the 2nd Division of Zhao Army, the 'Milk' Division, and the 'Desire' Division have been sent to meet us, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow."

We only need to hold out for two more days, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can complete the mission! ”

"Hmm!" I was relieved when I heard this, it turned out that the reserve army was coming to support, no wonder these old guys were so calm and relaxed even if they knew that the People's Army was already facing a situation of *** insufficiency!

Compare the army! In the First World War in history, it was with their support that the KPA was able to gain a firm foothold. Desperately blocked the offensive of the Combine. One of the most famous battles was the crushing of American tanks in the Wenden-ri area, and the victory in this war was also made into a movie "Hold on to Wendencheon", which I watched when I was a child. I still remember that there was a volunteer soldier named Hu Lian in it. Carrying a recoilless gun, he blew up four tanks of the American army in one go"

Just when I was thinking nonsense, a report from the guard came from outside the tunnel: "The People's Army's Commander Jin is here!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Jiang 'Chun' Zeng and the others, everyone knew that this self-respecting Master Jin would come in person, so there must be something big.

"Hurry up and ask Master Jin to come in!" It was still Deputy Head Liu who understood the human accident, so he immediately lifted the black cloth and went out. A few of us, people also stood up to greet us out of politeness.

After a while, Master Jin, who was wearing a black 'color' cloak and a 'straight' military uniform, came in majestically, but I found that there was no usual smile on his Bai Zhe's face, and I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, knowing that this time he would definitely not bring good news.

"Comrades!" After a pleasantries. Master Jin gritted his teeth and said, "The net has received an order from the superiors, we must withdraw from the position before noon,"

"Master Jin!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt him and said: "The Volunteer Army is on the way to support, and it will arrive the day after tomorrow, as long as we hold out for two more days, can't your army even do this?" ”

"Alas!" Jin Zhongsong couldn't help sighing: "We also know this, but Commander Cui also has to understand the difficulties of our army." Under our feet is the land of the People's Army, and are we willing to give it up to the enemy? But without bullets, so many of us stayed only to increase casualties, and it did not play a role in the war situation. So we can only concentrate *** and leave it to the small army to continue to hold out here, and let the big army retreat! ”

I didn't speak, but I knew in my heart that this order was right, and the volunteers had made such a choice. In this era, especially in the face of the American army, which is armed to the teeth, soldiers without bullets seem to have only two options on the battlefield: waiting to be killed or captured.

"And," Jin Zhongsong didn't dare to look us in the eye, lowered his head and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because you have bullets and the fortifications are strong, and your superiors suggest that you defend here." Of course, this is just advice. If you want to retreat, we have no reason to stop you! After all, you've helped us a lot."

"Nope! We will stay! I didn't think about it, so I replied, "We'll stay here until reinforcements arrive!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhongsong couldn't help but look at me with some surprise, he said, "I can't think about it, more than ten places or less is actually in a daze with our volunteers, why do we choose to stick here." But what he didn't know was that we had more reason than the People's Army to stay here, even if we wiped out all the nephews and nephews selected by our army.

Because this battle is a battle for the army to turn over and justify its name, we must not have the word retreat in this battle.

Jin Zhongsong nodded heavily at me, then handed me a map and said, "Your left and right flanks are the People's Army's Gang Regiment and the Sword Regiment respectively, this is our defense map after retreat!" But Captain Cui, I have to warn you. There are less than a thousand people in the occupation and knife regiments, and *** is only enough to hold out until tonight at most,"

"That's enough!" Ji nodded. Glancing at the defense map, he said, "I hope that Division Commander Jin can order your troops, and even the troops of the other People's Army, to retreat in the night after firing the bullets!" Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, and we'll take care of the rest! ”

Hearing this, Jin Zhongsong couldn't help but be stunned, a trace of strange 'color' flashed in his eyes, and he stared at me for a while. He slowly raised his hand and made a "snap". gave me a military salute in a dignified manner.

Seeing this, I was also busy returning a military salute, Kim Jong-song's performance really surprised me, I don't know what it means for a division commander to salute a regiment commander in the People's Army, which has always attached importance to the status of superiors and subordinates. But I know that there is at least respect and emotion in it.

The rain poured down, and the bean-sized raindrops in the air slanted on the stagnant water on the road, 'stirring' up the water 'flowers'. A gust of north wind blew, and suddenly the rain curtain was 'chaotic' like lifting a curtain.

Under the cover of this rain curtain, groups of KPA soldiers secretly withdrew from the high ground. One by one, they emerged from the pit like ants. Then gather at the foot of the mountain and line up in a long line, and quickly run along the mountain road towards the distance. They did not carry any heavy weapons, nor did they bring cars, and even the jeeps in which the officers were seated were abandoned without exception. The reason why they did this was because they were afraid that after the United *** knew that the main force of the People's Army had retreated, they would take the opportunity to launch a powerful offensive against the defenders.

It should be said that they have done a very successful job at this point. Because at least until now, the sparse sound of the American army's artillery has not changed.

After looking at it for a while, I turned around and returned to the regimental headquarters. Deputy Regiment Commander Liu was discussing with several chiefs of staff about the defense map left by Division Commander Jin.

"How?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but be interested, walked up to them in a few steps and said, "Have you discussed a way to deal with the American devils?" ”

"What's there to discuss, isn't it just fighting!" Liu Shunyi said with a smile: "The nephews of the Ran men came this time, and what they fought was the battle of the army, so the more difficult this battle is, the more we have to fight." Let all the comrades see that none of our army is a bad seed! ”

"That's right!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng also agreed: "Since it is a battle to turn over, we must fight big, not only to fight, but also to fight hard and beautifully, if it is only a few small victories, not to mention that the comrades will look at us differently, we ourselves will not be able to pass this level!" ”

"It's a rare opportunity!" Li Xiangming clenched his fists and said: "Even if we throw our old bones here, we have to fight for the army and add a little light!" ”

"Captain Cui! Let's first analyze the situation on the battlefield. Huang Xianhua was a simple person, and he didn't say much, so he went straight to the point: "We just discussed, and the worst-case scenario is that all the comrades of the People's Army will withdraw from the battle after running out of bullets tonight. That means there's a good chance we'll be surrounded by the enemy without any help, and we'll be alone until our reinforcements arrive! ”

"After the KPA retreats, I think there are two possible reactions from the enemy!" Jiang 'Chun' Zeng continued: "First, the enemy used part of his forces to surround our army, and the main force pursued the people's army; Second, the enemy's main force surrounds our army, not seeking to pursue the People's Army, but only to put our army to death! If it is the first possibility, then the enemy only wants us not to break out of the encirclement and cause 'chaos', then it will not be difficult for our army to hold until reinforcements arrive."

"Impossible!" I immediately rejected the assumption that Chiang 'Chun' Zeng was added, and said with great certainty: "Let's be prepared that the enemy will surround our army with the main force!" ”

"Why is Captain Cui so sure?" Hearing this, Huang Xianhua and the others couldn't help but look at me suspiciously, but only Jiang Xianhua nodded secretly.

I looked at the map and replied simply: "One: The U.S. military will not put their flanks in front of the enemy, even if the enemy surrounded by them has flooded away bridges and highways, and the U.S. military will have to abandon their cars, tanks and a large number of heavy weapons to pursue the puppet army on foot." Three: The most important point is that the purpose of this attack by the US troops is to win the battle and not to occupy as much territory as possible, and if they can concentrate all their efforts to annihilate our regiment, they will be able to achieve their strategic goal! "So!" Finally, I slammed my fist on our position and said, "Get ready to fight with the enemy's four, division!" ”
