......At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, an earth-shattering explosion sounded outside the tunnel, and the suppression of our army's artillery fire began.

Shells flew over our heads, carrying a long, bright line of fire, like meteors falling from the sky, towards enemy positions and artillery positions in depth. With the flash of fire and the sound of explosions, the barbed wire and machine-gun forts set up by the puppet army on the positions were blown to pieces one by one.

Some people may wonder why the artillery of the US army does not dare to boldly bombard with long-range artillery fire for fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops, while the artillery of our army does not have this concern.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the volunteer army has the magic weapon of "tunnel".

A few minutes before the agreed shelling, the volunteer soldiers stationed on the surface position had already taken advantage of the darkness of the night to withdraw to the tunnel, and there was no one on the surface position at this time. We were not worried that the enemy would take advantage of this time to take our position, and we had only a few minutes to withdraw, which was very tight with the shelling. There is only one circumstance in which the enemy has the means to occupy a surface position while our troops are withdrawn, and that is to know the information in advance and to know the exact time of our retreat.

Besides, even if they can do this, there will be no anti-artillery facilities at all on the positions we are stationing, and they will not do any good except for the result of being bombarded and waiting for us to go back.

On the other hand, the enemy cannot use our method, because most of their anti-artillery facilities are cement 'concrete' concrete fortifications such as pillboxes, which are time-consuming and labor-intensive to build, and more importantly, there are not many people who can hide, and a few more cannons will also be unbearable.

This makes the situation in Shangganling such that when the enemy's artillery wants to bomb our army's position, they will throw rat traps, and when our army wants to bomb, as long as they make an appointment to drill into the tunnel a few minutes in advance, they will bomb as much as they like!

Ten minutes later, the artillery fire began to extend backwards, and the fighters rushed out of the tunnel with a shout.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire, grenade explosions, shouts of killing, and the sound of the charge horn sounded together, as if our army was going to take advantage of the night.

But just like we planned, this was not a ***, the soldiers we rushed out of the tunnel were only a platoon of dozens of people, and they went out just to reoccupy the positions around the No. 3 main peak position, and by the way, they hit the guns and threw the grenades, so that the enemy had the illusion that our army was going to start ***.

The purpose is to attract the attention of the enemy and draw the enemy's fire to our side. On the other side, as early as the artillery fire began to extend, I sent a few soldiers who were familiar with the terrain out to meet the reinforcements.

597.9 The middle of the high ground protrudes and the two wings are adducted, so that if the reinforcements want to enter the tunnels of our army, they must pass through the 'crossing' fire blockade line of the puppet army on both wings. Although our artillery fire was able to successfully suppress the enemy's artillery blockade, the soldiers were all carrying a large amount of supplies and even carrying heavy logs, which seriously affected the speed of the advance. Once discovered by the enemy, the consequences are still unimaginable.

That's why I came up with this solution.

The enemy was really fooled, and several puppet army positions that came into contact with our army's positions soon sounded a burst of gunfire, and they didn't care whether they saw anyone or not, and they '' all kinds of weapons and hit our army in the direction of a 'chaotic'! Searchlights from other places also shone near the main peak position, and flares also hit our army's position one by one...... Suddenly the position was filled with fires and bright lights, as if a feast was being raised.

"Bang bang......" I raised my rifle and knocked out several searchlights spinning on our supply lines in two blows. In order to hide people's eyes, I also knocked out a few others.

In fact, the searchlight is not practical on the battlefield, and the high ground is full of smoke and dust, and even the strong light from the searchlight cannot reach far. But its light can be *** position, so that the sniper can easily take out it, and even kill the '' as its owner.

But even so, I still don't dare to take risks, and if I don't knock them out, the enemy will most likely find reinforcements of our army. Besides, in addition to the tense and fierce fighting during the day, it is really easy and pleasant to take advantage of this beautiful night to practice marksmanship at the mouth of the tunnel against the enemy's searchlight.

"Chief of Staff!" Just as I was cleaning up the enemy's searchlight with one shot after another, Li Baocheng, who was lying beside me, pointed to a few black shadows at the foot of the mountain and said, "It's coming!" It should be our troops! ”

"It's coming so fast!" Listening to me, I couldn't help but be stunned, it was only a few minutes before the artillery fire extended. But think about it, Wusheng Mountain is only more than 1,000 meters away from the 597.9 heights, and with the physical fitness of the soldiers, if they run all the way up while the artillery fire is extending, then a few minutes will be about the same!

So he didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the soldiers behind him: "Quick! Go pick it up! ”

"Yes!" The two warriors behind them answered, slung their rifles behind them, and greeted the dark shadows like a gust of wind.

But when I looked at it, I felt that something was wrong. I didn't think anything was wrong for a while, I just felt a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart. Watching the darkness gradually slow down, it suddenly became clear that if they were volunteer soldiers, then they should be faster the closer they got to the mouth of the tunnel, but they slowed down......

They are enemies!

When I realized this, I screamed badly and immediately shouted to the two warriors who rushed out: "Come back!" ”

But it was too late, and with the sound of a "da-......" gunshot, the two soldiers who met him fell headlong to the ground. Immediately after that, only a few loud "boom ......" were heard, and a burst of fire and violent explosions came from the positions of several pit mouths.

drip!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly, the "White Horse Division" of the puppet army, I still underestimate you, these guys will take advantage of the 'color' of the night and the poor visibility of Shangganling, and send a small team to sneak attack our tunnel......

I have to admit that this is a good way to do it. The reason why our army was able to persist in confronting a large number of enemies on the surface position was all due to the geographical superiority of the main peak position and the tunnel fortifications. The condescending geographical advantage allows us to use a small number of troops against a large army of the enemy, and the tunnel fortifications are equivalent to our reserve forces and *** arsenal. If there is a casualty on the position, one person can be replenished from the tunnel, and *** is also continuously transported up from the tunnel.

These two advantages make the enemy have no way to deal with us at all, knowing that every attack is exchanging dozens or even hundreds of casualties for the lives of the volunteers. But if they want to seize the position, they are 'forced' to do this kind of loss-making business.

If you don't want to do such a loss-making business, a good way is to cut off the source of our army's personnel and replenishment. Just like this commando team of the puppet army did, blow up the mouth of our tunnel......

Although there are dozens of our tunnel mouths, they can't blow them up in one go, but they only need to blow up a few tunnel mouths close to the mountaintop position, which can greatly increase the difficulty of our army to transport personnel to the mountaintop position, and lengthen the distance of our army's movement to the mountaintop position.

On the battlefield, it is often just a little more difficult and a little longer that can determine the outcome of the entire war. What's more, after the movement distance is extended, it is easier for the puppet army to use long-range weapons such as high-altitude 'shooting' machine guns to block the connection between the tunnel mouth and the hilltop position.

"Bang bang......" I didn't think much about it, I raised the rifle in my hand and fired two shots at the black shadow, and two screams immediately came up from the darkness.

I was about to pull the trigger on the other shadows again, but on second thought, it didn't feel right...... This is the position of our army, and after the volunteer soldiers discover the enemy, they will definitely rush out of the tunnel to fight the enemy. This means that those dark shadows below are not necessarily pseudo-soldiers, they are likely to be our own people!

What to do? Thinking of this, I secretly said that it is not good, our army reinforcements will come up soon, if you can't use the fastest speed to eliminate the puppet army commando, it is very likely that the volunteer soldiers in the tunnel and the volunteer soldiers who came to reinforce will 'mix' together, and the losses to the entire army at that time will not only be a matter of large casualties and heavy losses. That would greatly bolster the morale of the enemy and undermine the confidence of the fighters.

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng is also a smart person, of course he understands that the current situation is very critical, and he can't help but say anxiously: "It can't go on like this, if the reinforcements come up, we will let our own people fight our own people, I will immediately send someone to notify the reinforcements and let them stop advancing!" ”

"There's no hurry!" I shook my head and said, "At this time, I'm afraid that the reinforcements have already come up!" Besides, it's pitch black everywhere now, how do you go and notify the reinforcements! ”

"So, what then?" Li Baocheng didn't care about the danger, and sat up impatiently to look at the black shadows that were 'chaotic' outside the tunnel. These dark shadows fought each other in the darkness, gunfire one after another, and they also knew which were the enemy and which were their own......

"Call out the soldiers of the Eighth Company immediately!" I gritted my teeth and ordered, "Prepare for battle as quickly as possible." ”

"Yes!" Li Baocheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and ran towards the tunnel!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers from the Eighth Company lined up at the mouth of the tunnel. All of them are veterans, and they all know that there is no room for delay in the battle situation, so they gather very quickly!

"Comrades!" Against the sound of gunfire outside the tunnel, I shouted to the soldiers, "I won't say more, time is pressing." The target is the anti-slope position of our army, all of them are shouting 'Down with imperialism' with bayonets, shouting and killing at the same time, and whoever does not shout slogans is the enemy, kill them all! ”

"Yes!" The fighters answered, loading their rifles with bayonets.

"Down with imperialism!" Seeing that the soldiers were ready, I shouted 'hold on' with my bayonet and led the charge into the crowd in front of the position.

"Down with imperialism!" The warriors also shouted 'Hold on' and rushed into the crowd with their bright bayonets.

Suddenly, the slogans rang out one after another, and there were many shouts from the crowd, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is the habit of volunteer soldiers! As soon as someone takes the lead in shouting a slogan, someone will soon follow, and it will be louder than the other......

Usually I don't have much affection for shouting slogans like this, because it tends to give me 'chicken' bumps all over my body. But now it can be used to identify friend and foe, which of course is a different matter!

So the battle became simpler, and the footsteps kept rushing down, and there were constantly black shadows flashing in front of them in the darkness, and those who shouted slogans were let go. If you don't shout slogans, it doesn't matter who he is, stab him a few times first!

Of course, I also admit that during this period, there will definitely be some puppet soldiers who can speak Chinese pretending to shout slogans, and there may also be some volunteer soldiers who are too busy fighting to shout slogans. But this is, after all, a minority, and in this case, it is necessary to sacrifice the minority and preserve the majority, and at the same time it is a kind of helplessness.

On the battlefield, this choice is often made.

Suddenly, a slogan came out of the darkness on the opposite side, and then a *** person rushed to us like a 'tide' water, and after the code, both sides confirmed that it was their own people, and then they hugged each other warmly......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the headquarters, I looked at the blood on the bayonet with trepidation, because I knew that it was most likely stained with the blood of my comrades, but what could I do? I felt a little guilty, but I knew that if I had to do it all over again, I would still order it and do it!

Looking at Li Baocheng, Gao Yongxiang and others standing beside them, they also experienced a nightmare with palpitations. They are not afraid of the enemy, nor of sacrifice, but of killing their own people......

After a long time, Li Baocheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Tonight, fortunately, the chief of staff will make a quick decision, otherwise, I don't know how many comrades will be unjustly killed!" ”

"Company Commander Li is right!" Gao Yongxiang also agreed: "The order of the chief of staff is correct, although it ...... It is possible that we killed our comrades by mistake, but this is tantamount to a victory for the whole, and the chief of staff managed to prevent a 'melee' battle with minimal cost! ”

"it!" Miao Huaizhi slammed the rifle to the ground and scolded fiercely: "This dog's pseudo-9th Division, let's not beat them, they will bully us!" Chief of staff...... Give the order! Let's go give them some looks! ”

"No!" I shook my head and said, "The reason why the puppet army will launch a sneak attack on our army at night is because our army occupies a geographical advantage, and they can't please us at all when they fight during the day, so they want to fight with us at night." If we really go up and fight them, isn't that exactly what they want? ”

"The Chief of Staff is right!" Instructor Qin agreed: "Although our army has always been good at fighting night battles, the joint *** is the opposite. But at this time and then, the enemy is on the 597.9 heights, and it often takes dozens of people to fight for the lives of our volunteers. Such a battle, for the enemy, whether it is fought during the day or at night, in fact, makes no difference. It can even be said that the enemy has a large number of flares and searchlights, so the advantage of playing at night will be greater. We can't afford to lose our breath and fall for the enemy! ”

"I agree!" Li Baocheng also nodded and said: "The enemy wants us to fight them at night, so we won't fight and be angry with them!" According to the way they fought during the day, we will cripple one of their troops when they come to one unit! But...... I think we need to take more precautions against a sneak attack by an enemy like tonight, otherwise such a crisis may appear again! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded: "This is an oversight on our part of command, thinking that the enemy would not dare to attack us at night, so we relaxed our vigilance at night!" We should immediately set up observation posts around the position and keep an eye on the enemy's movements and personnel movements! ”

"I'll arrange it right away!" Instructor Qin answered, turned around and went to find someone.

"Chief of Staff!" Chen Zhiyuan and Cheng Yuanqing, who had been standing next to him and did not speak, walked up at this time.

The two of them were the company commanders of the two newly added companies, and because they were not familiar with the situation on Shangganling, they had not been able to 'interject'. At this time, seeing that we were almost finished, Chen Zhiyuan hesitated and pointed to a piece of wood on the ground and asked, "The soldiers are bored all the way!" I want to know what to do with all the effort to move these lumps of wood in? ”

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Cheng Yuanqing also said: "Some comrades said that this was definitely used to smash the enemy, and I said that it would take a lump of wood to smash the enemy?" Far away from the wood, we can all carry two boxes of grenades......"

When the soldiers listened to the words of the two company commanders, they also cast suspicious and 'confused' glances at me.

"Hammer and chisel!" I ordered.

"Huh!" A soldier answered, and in a few moments he handed me the hammer and chisel.

597.9 The warriors on the highlands have been producing their own tools to dig tunnels for some time, and such tools can be said to be everywhere.

I didn't go into much explanation, but with a hammer in one hand and a chisel in the other, I slammed a piece of wood with a "bang, bang...... and a few strokes, and in a few strokes opened a horizontal groove several feet long, and then took the blasting canister in the hand of a soldier and stuffed it into the horizontal groove......

"Hey!" Now the soldiers can see that this is a "wooden mine"!
