Lying on a small 'bed' in the tunnel, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and I couldn't help but feel at home.

After knowing that I would lead a special 'gate' to fight cold guns, Wang Yuehan also knew that I needed an independent space, and soon arranged this tunnel for me under his command.

In this regard, I also have to admire Wang Yuehan's thoughtfulness and speed.

This tunnel is not large, although it is only a dozen meters deep, but most of the inside is full of rock formations. There are still many edges and corners on the tunnel wall that have not been sharpened, but this does not affect its sturdiness in the slightest.

Knowing that this tunnel would serve as my headquarters, the soldiers were very enthusiastic about arranging some "furniture" for me: the shell boxes were laid horizontally in a row and then a 'bed' marching quilt was put on to become a warm and comfortable small 'bed'; Add a few wooden chairs and two kerosene lamps, and it's a little bit like an office. They even sawed the sides of the shell box and fixed it to the half-man-high pit wall, and made a closet for me, which contained a thick stack of paper, and next to it hung my American hand attached to a belt.

This makes me marvel at the usefulness of this shell box, and at the same time I have to praise the passion and craftsmanship of the soldiers. These shell boxes, which were originally considered waste products in my eyes, were in the hands of the soldiers, and they could swing left and right, like building blocks, and many things could be tossed out. If there is time. I'm sure they wouldn't have a hard time making a kitchen out of these shell boxes.

The flames of the kerosene lamps pulsed violently before my eyes, and the whole tunnel was filled with a foul smell of burnt kerosene. This made me feel a little dizzy, so I got up again and blew out one of the lights.

The only shortcoming of this tunnel is the 'muddy' air, and in order to cover the individual position of the tunnel, we had to 'cover' a black cloth at the mouth of the tunnel, and this kind of tunnel made of rocks has no tools and no time to dig ventilation holes. Only a few more 'holes' were opened in the soil near the mouth of the tunnel for ventilation, and in order to prevent the enemy's grenades from being directly thrown in, the flamethrower 'shot' could be directly 'shot' into the tunnel, and the mouth of the tunnel turned a corner, so the air in the depths of the tunnel was pitiful.

So I thought about it, and blew out another kerosene lamp, I don't need to see anything now, anyway, and kerosene is a precious thing to the soldiers. This is not? When they dug the tunnels, they used the pine oil and charcoal lamps they collected.

Soon darkness soon plunged around, and I lay down on the little 'bed' in boredom, stretching comfortably, and my mind soon thought of the cold gun and cold gun movement that I was about to face.

How is this battle going to be fought?

Thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little bit right, it's right to accumulate small victories into big victories, and it's not wrong to pick up lone enemies or small groups of enemies. But "there was always one problem that bothered me, and that was the enemy's artillery retaliation."

The U.S. military has never skimped on its own shells. As soon as we shoot and kill an enemy, then the enemy artillery fire will soon be overwhelming. In this case, the enemy does not need to know our specific location at all, they only need to guess in a big way which direction and which position we are, and then a cannon will know,

The mortar is not bad, but the power of this thing is not too great to effectively cover the fire. What if it's an enemy's long-range artillery or howitzer?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason, and a burst of sleepiness hit, and my head couldn't help but fall into a 'chaos'.

Just as I was dazed and about to fall asleep, I was awakened by the sound of machine guns and explosions outside the tunnel. I stood up quickly, grabbed the rifle that I had placed beside me, and with my memory, I 'touched' the black and turned a corner in three steps and two steps, and grabbed the mouth of the tunnel.

"What's the situation?" I asked Zhang Mingxue, who was on duty in front of the mouth of the tunnel.

"I don't know!" Zhang Mingxue replied: "Ran Chang, don't go out yet, Xu Yongwei has already gone out to see the situation."

"Commander". After a while, Xu Yongwei lifted the black cloth and ran in and said: "A team of comrades took advantage of the darkness to 'touch' and were discovered by American devils. Looks like someone else is hurt! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, someone wants to come up? It won't be the sharpshooters transferred from the division! I couldn't help but smile bitterly, I was discovered as soon as I came up?

Reports. Wang Yuehan's voice came from outside the tunnel, confirming what I had just thought. He went back to organize the sharpshooters in the selection division, and now I'm afraid that he brought them up.

Cui, Cui's regiment commander Wang Yuehan lifted the black cloth and walked into the tunnel, and said a little breathlessly: "Everyone has been brought, and forty-four sharpshooters have been transferred from the division headquarters, plus twenty-one people on our position. Sixty-five people in total! ”

Zhang Ming flashed the flashlight with knowledge, and I found that there were still a few bright red blood stains on Wang Yuehan's military uniform.

"What? Hung the lottery? ”

"Nope!" Wang Yuehan shook his head and sighed: "Originally, there were forty-eight people I brought up, but they were discovered by the enemy on the road, and four comrades died on the spot!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded and asked, "Where are they?" ”

"I'm waiting in the tunnel next to it!" Wang Yuehan leaned down and replied: "Division Commander Wang especially supports this activity, these comrades are all first-class sharpshooters selected from the division. Let's learn guns

"Hmm!" I nodded noncommittally, then turned to Zhang Mingxue and ordered, "Go, light the kerosene lamp!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as Zhang Mingxue 'straightened' up, he turned around and ran towards the depths of the tunnel, and after a while, the tunnel was once again shrouded in the light of kerosene lamps.

"Look at it!" With that, I took the lead in lifting the black cloth and walked towards the pit next to me.

When I stepped out of the tunnel, I smelled a thick smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and when I walked a few steps into another one, there was another smell of blood.

"Stand upright!"

As soon as I walked into the tunnel, the soldiers stood up and stood in a row along the walls of the tunnel. By the light of the fire in the tunnel, four warriors were lying in pools of blood in the slightly wider tunnel, and two hygienists were nervously examining their wounds, but finally shook their heads. Helplessly stood up.

Look at the fighters again. All of the washed and white military uniforms were covered with bloodstains, and some even had blood on their backs, presumably carrying those sacrificed soldiers.

"How did the enemy find out?" I asked with a calm face.

"Report to the Captain!" One of the fighters 'stood up' and replied: "It was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, and a comrade stepped on a stone and alarmed the enemy, and we were too many to hide,"

"Why don't you come up in batches?" I unceremoniously interrupted the fighter.

"This" the fighter couldn't help but be stunned: "We, we didn't expect it"

"Unexpected?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little angry: "There are so many things you didn't expect!" I didn't expect it, it was four lives! The 'sexual' lives of four excellent warriors! How else can you say that easily? It's a crime, you know! ”

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan couldn't bear the criticism of the soldiers. came up to play the round and said: "This, I didn't expect it, the main reason is that I don't have enough experience, and there are hundreds of people who have charged on the battlefield in the past." Who would have thought that now, dozens of people would have to leave in batches

"Counselor Wang!" I interrupted Wang Yuehan's words and said, "Even if I didn't expect to leave in batches, what about their clothes?" ”

I pointed to the washed white uniforms on the soldiers and said, "You just let them come up like this?" The soil on our position is all black, and the soldiers are dressed like this, and the blind will see the enemy's flares! ”

"This," Wang Yuehan was speechless when I asked.

"What a sharpshooter!" I still didn't lose my temper, and pointed at the soldiers and scolded: "What if the gun is accurate? Go to war like you guys. Before the gun was fired, the Yankees were about to be blown to pieces. Still shooting cold guns? Get back and pull me to it as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed on the battlefield! ”

"Captain Cui!" One of the soldiers was not convinced by my scolding, and 'stood up' and said: "We have all beaten the Yankees, and there are no less than ten American devils who died under my gun!" ”

"There's a fart in the fight!" I then scolded: "It was on the battlefield, and now we are shooting cold!" Chief of Staff Wang,"

I turned to Chief of Staff Wang and said, "You better take them all back!" They are simply not suitable for cold shots! ”

"Commander, let's change! Give us another chance! ”

"Yes! Regiment leader, let's occupy it to fight the Yankees, so let's go on like this

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be anxious, and they threw pleading glances at me.

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan also said with some embarrassment: "The soldiers are usually used to running around and going straight to and from the battle, and they have no experience, so this is why you want to teach it, right?" Just let them go back,"

"Give them a chance!" After thinking about it, I nodded and said, "But before that." I'm going to make one for my comrades. Assess. I said ugly things in front, all comrades who have not passed the test will go directly back to the original army and pull them down! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all 'straightened' their chests and prepared.

"All of them!" I shouted to the soldiers, "Go to the next tunnel as fast as you can and get a piece of paper!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and without saying a word, pulled out their 'legs' and ran towards the pit next door.

"Commander Cui," Seeing this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "You don't want to test whether the soldiers can write, right?" They don't know a single word, don't you want to embarrass them? ”

"Don't worry, Chief of Staff Wang!" I shook my head and said, "Even if you can write, what's the use of going to war?" Just wait and see! Would you like to get one too? ”

"No, no, no," Wang Yuehan replied with a wry smile: "We have a word first, if we can't pass this level, we will have to return to the original army, I don't want to make trouble for myself!" ”

As he spoke, the warriors came running back one by one, each with a piece of paper in his hand, and all of them looked at me with a look of disbelief, not knowing what I had asked them to do with it.

"Comrades!" Looking at the suspicious eyes of the soldiers, I smiled slightly and ordered: "Comrades who can write, just write down on the paper what you see in the pit next door, and if you can't write, you can use a painting, let's start!" ”

"What?" Hearing my words, the fighters were all dumbfounded. Including Wang Yuehan. No one thought that I had just asked them to go over and get a piece of paper, and the drunkard didn't mean to drink, but to let them take a look at the furnishings in the pit and then remember it.

For a sniper, it is often not the marksmanship that matters, but the ability to observe. In particular, the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas and catching cicadas shake their hearts, and behind each of our targets there is often a hidden enemy sniper Ding Gui is an artillery observer. When we hit the target with one shot, we often become the target of others. But. If you can detect the enemy hiding in the shadows in advance, it will be completely different."

"I didn't expect it!" I smiled lightly, "You made this mistake just now, didn't you?" You said you would make corrections, didn't you? How? Now I didn't think of it? ”

The warriors were all staring at each other and did not dare to say much.

"Write it!" I didn't want no one to pass the test, and then there was no one under my command, so I relaxed the condition and said, "If you can write five things, you can pass the test!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and they all sat on the ground in deep thought. Seeing that they all had bitter faces and scratched their heads, they all looked embarrassed. I can't help but be a little funny. The soldiers, who usually rained bullets and did not suffer any difficulties in several major battles, were stumped on this small issue.

I'm not worried that the warriors will cheat, because the people of this era are thinking well! All of them are very self-conscious, just like the universities we went to in modern times. But I seem to be the one who cheats the most in college......

"Come on, I've got a pen here!" Wang Yuehan handed two pencils to the soldiers and said, "After the drawing is completed, pass it on one by one!" ”

Two pencils passed down in the hands of the soldiers, and in the dim light of the pine oil lamps, the soldiers were seen holding the pencils in strange postures. Carefully drew on the paper, and then the answer sheets were quickly 'handed over' to Wang Yuehan's hands.

"Four, unqualified!"

"Three, unqualified!"

"Four, unqualified!"

"Five, qualified!"

"This." Captain Cui! At this time, Wang Yuehan handed over an answer sheet and asked, "Can you look at this?" ”

I took it and couldn't help laughing, this guy couldn't think of five ornaments, so he drew all the stones and dirt in a hurry to make up the numbers! Look at the owner of this answer sheet, a young soldier in his early twenties, with a scar on his left forehead, it seems that he has also fought a lot of battles on the battlefield.

Then I laughed at him. Don't 'straighten' your 'chest' without changing your face, and don't have the slightest embarrassed look.

"What's your name!" I couldn't help but feel a little interested when I looked at it.

"Report to the Captain!" The soldier leaned down and said, "My name is Wu Sihu!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "Qualified!" ”

Wu Sihu still saluted me without joy and carelessness, and then stood aside. Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly praise that although his observation power is insufficient, but like him, he can count both stones and dirt, and he must be a person who can do everything on the battlefield. What's even more rare is his calmness and composure, which are all conditions for being an excellent sniper.

With the sound of qualified and unqualified, the final result surprised me a little, and there were still thirty-seven people who could stay. I guess it has something to do with the fact that they're all sharpshooters in the army! I've been shooting a lot of guns, and no matter where I go, I'm used to observing the terrain and the environment, and I know this very well.

As for the other twenty-eight people, no matter how good their marksmanship is, I don't dare to let them join. I need people who are careful, cautious, and observant, otherwise their presence is likely to affect other comrades.

"Comrades!" After sending off the dejected twenty-eight men, I said to the thirty-seven soldiers who remained: "Although you have passed the first round of examinations, do not think that you can stay in my unit from now on. Fighting a cold gun is not the same as fighting a war, what we need more is careful, calm and calm, if you can't do it, then the result is only to quit or die! ”

"Yes!" The warriors responded in unison with their chests held up.

"Chief of Staff Wang!" I turned to Wang Yuehan and said, "You are familiar with them, organize them into three classes, and organize them to elect a class leader!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan answered, turned around and busied. "Captain!" At this time, Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei, who had been following me, came up and said, "The two of us, can we join?" ”

"Yes! Head! Xu Yongwei hurriedly said: "We are guards, aren't we?" Then you go to the battlefield, and we will follow you too! ”

"You two little ghosts!" I couldn't help but smile a little bitterly and said, "You also need guards to shoot cold guns." Do you want to kill me or what? Carry a few sacks of rice! If you want to learn the skill, watch from the side! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue and Xu Yongwei responded, 'straightened' their bodies and walked away dejectedly

Go.

Looking at their backs, I couldn't help but sigh helplessly. It's not that I don't want them to join in learning something, but "the order given to us by the organization is to annihilate individual enemies and group enemies, and there is no time to practice at all, and the first thing is to go to the battlefield."

Learning in the war and growing up in the war has always been the style of the volunteer army. It's just that this learning and growth is accompanied by bloody sacrifices, and this time will be no exception. That's why I cut half of the troops as soon as I came up.

What awaits us?

Looking at the soldiers who were busy electing squad leaders, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, all I could do was to do my best and do my best to reduce their casualties.
