"Kill".

"Rush!"

The fighters rushed to the No. 2 position with a variety of weapons and an earth-shattering roar. A pair of 'legs' stepped past me, bayonets passed in front of me, and the enemy's only remaining fourth firing point could no longer withstand the onslaught of our troops. A few shots were fired in a sloppy manner. Soon drowned in the 'tidrum' of angry volunteer soldiers.

At this moment, the cannon sound on the Five Sacred Mountains finally rang out, and to my surprise, the cannon sound was much denser than I imagined. After listening carefully, I realized that many of them were mortars. It seems that Regiment Commander Zhang has gathered all the mortars in the regiment and used them to provide us with artillery support.

With the roar of shells one after another, the enemy's firing points and barbed wire fences in the depths of the Egg Heights were blown into the sky one by one. Of course, they were accompanied by groups of American troops on the position.

Taking advantage of these artillery fires, the volunteer soldiers rushed to various positions on the high ground of Zhukou with all their might, chasing and killing the fleeing American troops everywhere.

I didn't rush forward, I staggered up from the ground and staggered towards the first point of fire.

In the position of the arsenic chief, the two 'strong' machine guns were still in good shape, and there were some magazines and shells scattered around the guns, as if to tell me what a 'fierce' war had just been fought here. Not far from the machine gun, there were the corpses of a *** enemy lying horizontally. But there was no sign of the 2nd platoon commander, only a pile of blood-soaked mud left behind the machine gun.

I looked around. Knowing that there was no hope, I was still used to 'sex' and shouted a few times.

Of course, no one answered me, and I searched for a while in the pile of corpses, and finally I only found a pair of 'legs' with shoes still on my feet next to the firing point."

This must have been left by the 2nd platoon commander!

It is impossible for the Yankees' 'legs' to wear patched liberation shoes, and at the same time, none of the volunteer soldiers who died here broke two 'legs'.

Looking at those bloody 'legs', a desolation flashed in my heart for no reason, and that's all the heroes can stay.

The battle continues. The soldiers who had retreated to the tunnel fought back to the ground, and joined up with the reinforcements sent by Commander Zhang and fled in all directions, the sound of gunfire, artillery, and shouting of killing kept ringing in their ears, and the 'fierce' place was the 'hand-to-hand' fight between bayonets.

Originally, at this time, as the commander of the unit, I should have rushed forward to direct the battle, but I don't know why, I don't want to move now.

Maybe I'm tired enough and want to rest for a while; Maybe it's because I think I've killed enough people today; Or maybe I'm thinking that the battle is now decided. I don't need to 'bother' about the above things anymore,,

Anyway, I didn't know what I was thinking at this moment, I didn't care about anything at that moment, I just squatted in the firepower point. After a long while, he silently took off his military uniform, put the feet in front of him in the middle, and wrapped them, "I don't want the 2nd platoon commander to be the only thing left in this world." It will also be blown up without a trace by enemy fire.

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the end of the position. The fighters raised their guns and shouted:

"Victorious".

"The American devils have retreated".

Several company commanders are also veterans who have 'fought' with the Yankees, and they haven't waited for the soldiers to call enough. He loudly ordered the warriors to retreat. The soldiers answered, grabbed a few trophies from the position, and retreated into the tunnel like a 'tide'.

I grabbed my rifle and followed the crowd towards the tunnel.

"Hey! It's really a good fight" In the tunnel with the rumbling of cannons, Zhang Jifa clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Now we have a bad breath, look at those Yankees are still arrogant!" ”

"Yes! I'm itching to look at it from behind! Miao Huaizhi also said: "I can't wait to go up and shoot a few shots, Company Commander Zhang, this time you can be regarded as avenging our sacrificed comrades!" In the future, we must not let the position be lost from our hands! ”

"That's right!" Wan Fulai also nodded, and said firmly: "These positions are all bought by the soldiers with blood and lives, if we lose the positions again, we will be very sorry for them."

"No, we're going to give up our positions". I didn't feel any *** color 'plugged' a sentence.

"What?" Miao Huaizhi and Zhang Jifa all looked at me in surprise when they heard this, even Instructor Qin was no exception.

At a time when our army had just won the victory and the morale of the soldiers was high, my words were undoubtedly pouring cold water on them. "Chief of Staff" you, what are you talking about? Abandonment of positions?. Miao Huaizhi wondered if he had misheard. Some looked at me inexplicably.

"That's right!" I nodded: "After the enemy's shelling is over, the first company and the ninth company will each send a squad of fighters to the position to guard, and the task of this part of the fighters is to notify the troops to go up when the enemy comes up, and they must choose a good location and pay attention to covering." When the enemy is under heavy fire, it is allowed to take refuge in the tunnel. Most of the comrades of the 6th and 7th companies rested. Only one platoon was left to prepare. I'm sure the enemy will wait until dawn to attack, and you just have to hold out for three to four hours."

"I, I don't agree!" Before I could finish speaking, Miao Huaizhi objected: "Chief of Staff, we have lost so many people and paid such a big price. Hold on for only three or four hours and then give up

Old one. Is that worthy of the sacrificed comrades? I'm sorry for organizing Bu's heart-shaped chopping on us, I propose, let's fight the enemy on the battlefield, and we will kill as many as they come! ”

"Yes! Chief of staff! Zhang Jifa also suggested: "It is easy to defend and difficult to attack to help the high ground, and we also paid such a big price to get the position back, how can we give up so easily?" ”

"I'm in favor of holding on!" Wan Fulai, the commander of the sixth company, also said: "Our casualties are indeed very large, but the enemy's casualties are greater than ours. What's more, if the Yankees give up their positions to the Yankees and then take them back at night, they will also pay considerable casualties, so it is better to fight the Yankees on the position. In this way, it may be possible to exchange for greater casualties of the enemy at a small price! ”

Admittedly, the fighters' claims are also justified. From the perspective of the comparison of casualties between friend and foe, perhaps holding the position can exchange the least cost for greater casualties of the enemy. After all, although our army could counterattack in the dark, it was the enemy who occupied favorable terrain at that time, and we attacked from the bottom of the mountain, and the price we paid was not much better than holding on.

But that's not all.

"Comrade Gao Yongxiang, Comrade Li Debin!" Instead of answering the soldiers' doubts, I turned around and called out to the two new faces in the tunnel. "Here!" The two warriors stood in front of me.

The two of them were the company commanders of the two companies sent by Regiment Commander Zhang to reinforce our counterattack, and Commander Zhang knew that we had suffered heavy casualties, so he ordered them to be stationed in Shangganling as supplementary troops after completing the counterattack mission.

"Company Commander Gao, Company Commander Li!" I nodded at them, shook hands with them one by one, and said, "First of all, welcome to you, you have cooperated well with our counterattack. Lay the foundation for our successful restoration of surface positions! ”

Of course, I wanted to say that, but actually, I and the other company commanders knew that their arrival almost 'disrupted' our sneak attack plans. However, in the subsequent counterattack, they did make up for the lack of our troops.

"This is what we should do!" The two company commanders saluted me in unison.

"Did your superiors give us any instructions?" I casually asked, in fact. I don't have to ask to guess what instructions my superiors will give us.

Sure enough, Gao Yongxiang quickly 'stood up' and replied: "Report to the Chief of Staff, Regiment Commander Zhang asked me to tell you that you must firmly grasp the Helpmouth Heights and Mi 7 Heights. The head of our witch group can be broken, blood can be shed, and the position cannot be lost! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, and fell silent again.

"Chief of Staff!" Instructor Qin walked up to me and suggested: "Our *** soldiers just have to obey orders, since the regiment commander has given such orders, do you see if it is?"

"Instructor Qin!" I didn't wait for him to finish before I asked: "If we give up the surface position and retreat to the tunnel, is it just that we have lost the position?" ”

"Retreating to the pit is indeed not a loss of position!" Instructor Qin replied, "But we have fallen into a situation of being beaten passively!" And in terms of casualties, it doesn't make much difference

"Our task is to hold our ground. It's not about how many enemies you can kill! I stood up and said, "How many bullets do we have now, how many more people do we have?" How many guns are there to stop the enemy's attack? ”

As soon as I said this, the fighters were all silent. This is also the reality in front of us, the number of people is free of strength and make up, with the reinforcements of the fifth company and the eighth company, we can still get more than 300 people on the two highlands, but *** is fighting less and less. Although Regiment Commander Zhang said that the organizers sent some, most of them failed to pass through the enemy's artillery blockade, and some of the *** sent up were not enough for us to replenish the loss tonight.

"Comrades! Realistic problems we have to take into account! I said heavily: "Yesterday during the day, comrades all know what kind of situation it is to resist the attack of the US army on the surface position, and if we fight like yesterday, I am afraid that we will not be able to support it for even an hour." What's more, it's still a whole day of support? ”

"*** is not enough, we will fight with bayonets!" Miao Huaizhi raised his rifle and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Jifa also said approvingly: "You can also use a stone to smash." Even if we all die, we can't lose our position! ”

"If we all die, can we not lose that position?" I asked rhetorically.

I really don't want to pour cold water on the fighters when they look so high-spirited, but I can't let them go wrong like that.

"Chief of Staff, what is your plan?" asked Instructor Qin.

"In my opinion, our focus is to hold the position, not to kill the enemy, let alone to die heroically!" I explained: "Comrades! As first-class soldiers, of course, we must have the 'spirit' spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and daring to fight with the enemy. If we can hold your ground if we sacrifice, then I won't stop you from holding your ground! But this is not the case, if we fight the enemy in the position. They all died on the ground, so what will happen next? The happiest are the enemy. They can attack the main peak of the Five Holy Mountains with confidence! But if we can save our strength and retreat to the tunnel. Can the enemy attack the Five Holy Mountains with confidence? We are like a time bomb under them, like a nail nailed to them, like a thorn in their 'flesh', if they don't pull us out, they can't attack the Five Holy Mountains with confidence! That's why we have to give up the superficial position, and we can't re-fight! All kinds of things can better be the task that the sect level 'handed over' to us, what is the use of Gongzhou yelling at us all sacrificed? The devil is not stepping on our corpses yet."

Listening to my words, the warriors couldn't help but whisper. Some of them were already nodding their heads to each other, apparently moved by what I said.

"Chief of Staff!" After a while. Gao Yongxiang asked again: "Then what did you let the soldiers defend the position for three or four times?"

"Let's see what happens if we don't keep it." I pointed to Chikou Heights and Gong 7 Heights on the map and said: "If we do not defend and retreat directly to the tunnel, the American troops can easily occupy our surface positions, and they will have a lot of time to build fortifications on our positions without haste."

With the equipment and speed of the US troops, they will be able to build reinforced concrete bunkers on our surface positions in one day, and it will be even more difficult for us to counterattack in the night and restore our surface positions."

"Oh". Hearing this, the soldiers suddenly realized.

"And if we can't get back to the surface position, we're going to be in a very passive situation." After a pause, I continued: "The inability to restore the surface position means that we will be completely cut off from the outside world by the enemy in the tunnels. The enemy's machine guns and artillery are fully capable of blocking any support from the outside world, not only bullets, but also water and food to drink. None of the 'medicines' used by the wounded could be transported. The more time passes, the more difficult it becomes. We should take advantage of the fact that the US military is not yet capable of completely blocking our supply lines in the past few days, and try to stock up on materials as much as possible!

Conversely, if we were able to hold the position for a few hours, the enemy would be very tired when attacking the position, and there would be relatively little time to build fortifications on the surface position, and the more difficult it would be for us to recover the surface position again, which would mean that we would have a better chance of getting supplies

Hearing my words, the soldiers couldn't help but look at each other. Everyone's faces 'showed' strange expressions.

"What's wrong?. Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask.

Instructor Qin, the chief of staff, said hesitantly: "Is what you said too far?" Can we fight this battle for that long? ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and then I quickly understood. Because I know the history, I subconsciously look at the Shangganling Battle with a protracted war, and I also know very well that soon, Shangganling will be cut off from supplies because the US army has consolidated the fortifications on the surface position, and the volunteers in the tunnel are unable to launch a second time.

Actually, it's not just me. In modern times. Almost everyone knows the difficult situation of Shangganling's supply being cut off. Later, the superiors even set a rule that "whoever can send an apple into the pit will be given a second-class meritorious service", so you can imagine how difficult it was to supply at that time.

I know this, but the warriors don't!

Now that the Battle of Shangganling has only been fought for more than a day, many soldiers may still think that this battle may be over in two days! Isn't it only ten days to fight five battles that are so big? How long can this small battle in Shangganling be fought!

But what they didn't know was that this seemingly small battle, a small battle on two heights the size of a square kilometer, had been fought for a month and eleven days. Its tragedy and hardship made the entire front look sideways and the whole world was shocked!

"Comrades, there is a saying that "people have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries", thinking of this, I hurriedly explained: "Fighting! It's all the more important to take a long-term view, not to mention the fact that it's already difficult for us to get supplies right now."

"The chief of staff is right!" Director Qin has been paying attention to the supply situation of the troops during this time. At this time, he nodded and said: "These days, because the food from the rear has not been delivered, the food in our tunnel has been almost consumed. In particular, there is a shortage of 'medicine', and the wounded basically have no 'medicine' available. The water aspect is not bad, "The invincible pit has dozens of buckets of water in it, enough for us to use one month." It's just that some of the water in it has deteriorated and stinky because of poor protection. Also need to get rid of the clean water."

"Wait!" Hearing this, I hurriedly stopped: "Don't be busy pouring out the stinky water yet. Add first. Wait until there are not enough buckets to pour it".

"Yes!" Qin instructed him to 'stand up' and respond.

"What else do the comrades have in mind about this program? I then asked, "If there are different opinions that can be raised, let's discuss them together and see if there are any shortcomings."

"I agree with this plan!" Gao Yongxiang first agreed: "The chief of staff is right, our purpose is to complete the tasks 'assigned' to us by our superiors, to hold the riveting heights and return to the 7th heights to ensure the safety of the five holy mountains, not to go to this battlefield to compare who is brave, who is not afraid of death, that is no different from the brave and ruthless bandits, not the style of our *** soldiers!" ”

"I agree!"

"I agree!" The fighters agreed.

"Good!" In the end, I concluded: "Comrades have no opinion, then from tomorrow." We will focus on cooperating with the rear to transport materials and strive for a faster and larger stockpiling of strategic materials. Get ready to defeat the enemy once and for all in the future! ”

"Yes". The warriors responded in unison.
