Chapter 163: Li Guang shoots the tiger

As we got into the tunnel, the gunfire on the position was still ringing non-stop. It was a dozen of Gao Yongxiang's men, who were heroically resisting the tentative 'sexual' attack of the enemy's small force on the hilltop position. However, this is not the most brutal, we all know what is going to happen.

A feeling of desertion came over me. Although I also know that there is no way to do it, although I also know that this is a helpless choice, but it is not pleasant to let my comrades on the battlefield and hide in the tunnel. Look at the soldiers around me, they are all similar to me, and their faces are a little ashamed.

"Comrades!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but comfort: "Comrades, don't have any psychological burden, the purpose of our doing this is to preserve our strength, leave our lives to better and fight the enemy more." What's more, there are only about 70 of us in all, and each batch must have more than a dozen soldiers like Gao Yongxiang and them on the battlefield. In other words, we all have this opportunity, so we don't need to feel indebted to them! ”

"The Chief of Staff is right!" Li Baocheng waved his fist and said to the soldiers: "The second platoon, which is not afraid of sacrifice and difficulty, is worthy of our learning, we will now organize the second batch of soldiers stationed in the position, the task is the same as that of the high platoon commander, who will participate?" ”

"Me!"

"I ......"

As soon as Li Baocheng's words fell, the soldiers raised their hands one after another and scrambled to stand in front of Li Baocheng.

"Company commander!" Miao Huaizhi snapped a few times and pressed down the hands of several soldiers beside him, and grabbed Li Baocheng unconvinced and said: "This first chip let the high platoon commander take the lead, this second ...... Say anything, you have to give us three rows! ”

"How does this work?" As soon as Miao Huaizhi said this, the other fighters disagreed: "These are all ** warriors, why do you rank second!" ”

"Because...... Because the platoon commander loves to fight with me! In a hurry, Miao Huaizhi made an excuse for 'messing around', which only caused the soldiers to laugh.

"That's good! I'll give you a platoon! Li Baocheng nodded and said to Miao Huaizhi: "Do you have the confidence to complete the task?" ”

"Have faith!" Miao Huaizhi excitedly 'stood up' and saluted.

"Boom ......" At this moment, a loud noise and a violent tremor suddenly came from overhead, which only shook the soldiers to stagger and unsteadily.

I soon realized that it was the enemy planes that had begun to bomb our position again, and I couldn't help but look at the mouth of the tunnel. At this time, I hoped that Gao Yongxiang and the others could come back in a hurry, but there was nothing outside the tunnel except for bursts of scorched earth and corpses that had been blown up by bombs.

The bombardment stopped after a while, and I immediately ordered: "Three platoons are on standby in the tunnel, and the others will enter the position immediately!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and without saying a word, they rushed out of the mouth of the tunnel.

I flew with the soldiers as if I had drilled out of the tunnel and ran towards the top of the mountain. OK! There were also gunshots on the position, indicating that there were still people alive. But on the other hand, I also understand that there are not many people alive, because there are only two positions where there are guns. That is to say......

I didn't dare to think too much, so I took three steps and made two steps to run in the direction where the gunfire came, and when I looked over the ridge, I saw that there was a mud and blood stain on the ninth position, and the soldiers in their uniforms were blown up to the point of cloth, holding machine guns and sweeping at the foot of the mountain.

Take a closer look, isn't it Gao Yongxiang or who? His military hat didn't know where it flew for a long time, his hair was burned to a mess, his eyes were 'exposed' like a beast, and he gritted his teeth and held a 'strong' turntable machine gun at the charging American troops at the foot of the mountain.

The small US troops charged very quickly, and they were only 40 or 50 meters away from our position at this time, so I did not dare to be slow, and the 'maneuvering' rifle against the US troops was a 'chaotic' attack.

While fighting, he ordered Gao Yongxiang beside him: "Platoon Commander Gao, go back to the pit immediately!" ”

"Platoon Commander Gao......" I shouted several times in succession, but I didn't hear any response from Gao Yongxiang. Turning his head in confusion, he found that his head was hanging weakly next to the machine gun, while his fingers were still tightly gripping the trigger of the machine gun, and the machine gun was still roaring and 'firing' bullets downward......

Seeing this, I couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly rushed over to inspect his injuries, and when I turned it over, I found that both of his 'legs' had been blown up. When I came up just now, I didn't look carefully and thought that his legs were buried in the soil, but I didn't notice anything wrong. At this time, he had already stopped breathing due to excessive blood loss.

In order to prevent the enemy from rushing forward, he held his position and shed the last drop of blood, until he saw us come to his side and completely 'handed' the position to us, and he swallowed his last breath with relief.

I gritted my teeth, took one last look at his sacrifice, didn't dare to stay in front of him for too long, and '' the rifle at the rushing American troops with a few more bullets.

The bullets passed and the enemy fell in response, and all of them had their brains bursting and died. If I had killed an enemy at such a close distance before, I might have been unbearable. But at this moment, I only have hatred and hatred in my heart, and no matter how miserable or many enemies die in front of me, I will not have half a bit of pity in my heart. Because I feel that all this in front of me is far from enough to pay for the crimes they have committed.

Although I know in my heart that they are not necessarily the ones who make mistakes. In the final analysis, this is still a political game, a struggle between countries. But I don't care so much, I only know that it is these guys in front of me who make my comrades-in-arms fall one by one, it is these guys in front of me who make me nest on Shangganling and never see the light of day, and it is these guys in front of me that make me worry about my life all the time......

So at this moment, all the hatred in my heart, all the depression that I have been holding in my heart these days all burst out, and I only thought in my head: kill! Kill! Kill!

One enemy after another fell in front of me, and in the end, I did not let go of even the enemies lying on the ground. When the bullet was finished, I mechanically reloaded a magazine, then raised the gun and fired again, and I would not hesitate to pull the trigger wherever I saw a figure......

"Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff ...... "When I loaded the magazine into the chamber again, Li Baocheng pressed my gun and said: "The enemy has retreated!" ”

"Hmm!" When I heard this, I sobered up a little, and when I looked down, I saw that the enemy had retreated.

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng handed me a cigarette and said, "Have you noticed that the entire front of the American devils has retreated more than ten meters!" ”

Originally, I didn't care, but after listening to Li Baocheng's words, I realized that the US army was really like what he said, and retreated more than ten meters away from the battle line halfway up the mountain, and no one dared to hide even if the part of the foxhole that retreated out was empty, except for a few corpses lying around.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel strange, and asked suspiciously: "What are they doing?" Why back? ”

"Why retreat?" Li Baocheng opened his mouth wide and looked at me incredulously and said, "Chief of Staff, you don't know why they retreated?" ”

I shook my head blankly.

"Do you know how many people were killed with this rifle just now?" Li Baocheng pointed to the M1 rifle in my hand, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "From the time I started counting, there were thirty-five!" ”

"So many?" I couldn't believe the number.

"And that's not all!" A soldier beside him answered: "This is the number of US troops who were beaten down by us, the previous number...... Let's all take care of fighting devils, I don't count! It's also indispensable! ”

Only then did I realize that the soldiers on the battlefield were all looking at me with strange eyes, as if I was a monster.

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng continued: "You were 'very' scary just now! One person with a rifle forcibly 'forced' the Yankees' defense line back more than ten meters! ”

"What? All of them let me fight? "I couldn't believe my ears.

"Isn't that right?" Li Baocheng said with a smile: "After the charge of the American devils was beaten down by us, I thought it would be fine to retreat halfway up the mountain. The smoke is so big, and it's three or four hundred meters away, it's really hard to see the target, and we can't fight it! This is not? They all stopped their guns, and watched the chief of staff with a gun thumping there, and it hit one by one! In the blink of an eye, you knocked out more than thirty of them, do you think this Yankee can not retreat? The soldiers are not convinced! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard Li Baocheng's words, but thinking about the vigorous shooting just now, it seems that there is really such a thing. Poke your head out and look halfway up the mountain, good fellow! If I really want to fight now, maybe I can't beat it accurately, why was I so brave just now!

After thinking about it, I think this is a state! Just like the story of Li Guang's 'shooting' of the tiger, when people are in a state, they only want to 'shoot' the tiger to death, so they 'shoot' deeply into the stone with an arrow, but they deliberately want to try, but they can no longer achieve that effect.

Just now, I seemed to be similar to this phenomenon. At that time, because of Gao Yongxiang's sacrifice, the hatred in his heart was aroused, so he wanted to 'shoot' the enemy with all his strength, and he actually entered that state of selflessness. When I woke up, I found that I had 'forced' the enemy's defense line back more than ten meters......

"The devil is coming!" With a shout from the observer, the soldiers threw away the cigarette butts in their hands and once again '' their weapons at the foot of the mountain.

In front of the position, the US troops came out of the smoke and dust one by one like ghosts, and they appeared more cautious and cautious than before. I think maybe they sensed the presence of snipers on the top of the hill just now, so the charge is no longer as free as it used to be.

But that obviously didn't dampen their determination to take Heights 597.9 before dark. I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, there was still about half an hour before it got dark, and I couldn't help but feel relieved, I don't think they would have much of a chance, and we would be safe with two more bombardments like this.

Of course, this does not mean that the troops of the 12th Army will come up immediately as soon as the sky is 'dark'. As a matter of fact, it is often during the period when the sky is dark that the US military bombards our supply lines particularly fiercely. So it was not appropriate to send reinforcements to our heights at that time.

By security, I mean that once it is dark, the US military will no longer have the courage to charge our positions, and at the same time, their planes will not be able to bomb our positions relatively 'precisely' in the dark night. Then they can't play with their current set of ground-air coordination.

If nothing else, it will be their last attack of the day.

I used to 'sexually' raise the telescope and look in the direction of the US military's signal board, and I couldn't help but be stunned at this look...... There is only a white patch in the aperture of the telescope, and you can't see anything!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good! As the sun slowly set, the light became weaker and weaker, and I could no longer see the movement of the signal board from where I was.

Then I thought that since I couldn't see the signal board, the US pilots in the assault naturally couldn't see it either! I don't know exactly how the U.S. military will communicate with each other by fire or light, but one thing I know is that the U.S. military will not be stupid enough to let me see the fire or lights of the liaison pilots......

Thinking of this, my face couldn't help but change, which meant that I couldn't tell when the enemy planes would come to bomb, and I couldn't know when the soldiers would withdraw into the tunnel!

The battle started again, and it was easy for the soldiers to deal with the small force of the American army charging upward, so it was very easy to fight. But I was the only one who was out of breath as if I had been crushed by a big stone, and I wanted to tell the soldiers about the current situation, and I wanted to tell them that enemy planes would come to bomb at any time and we would not be in a hurry to withdraw to the tunnel, but I did not know what to say. At the same time, it is useless to say it, because I simply have no solution......

Under the cover of machine guns, recoilless guns and other firepower, the US troops charged forward and retreated in front of the position. Their charge is not very violent, often just a few people fall and then retreat, and then a new group of people repeats this seemingly meaningless action again. And I know that they are doing this for a purpose, and their purpose is to stick to us and not let us withdraw from the tunnel. As soon as we withdraw to the tunnel, their feints will soon turn into real attacks.

The worst thing is that every time they retreat, I can't tell which of their retreats was beaten down by us, and which retreat was to avoid the bombing of their own planes!

Wait a minute! Most of their retreats were beaten down by us, what if we didn't?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted to the fighters: "All of them! Stop shooting, don't shoot! ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned when they heard my order, the enemy is charging! But I ordered no shooting...... Although they were puzzled, the strict discipline made them stop shooting.

"Chief of Staff!" Li Baocheng, a cat with three steps and two steps, ran up to me and asked, "What's the situation?" Why don't you let it fight? ”

"Look at those Yankees!" I proudly wrote about the U.S. troops in front of the position.

It was not only the volunteer soldiers who were confused by my order, but also the American troops in front of the position. They didn't expect us to stop shooting, and at this point they couldn't advance or retreat!

Keep going up? In this kind of terrain, such a few people are not our cup of tea at all, I can wait for them to get close before fighting, and if we can't fight with bayonets, we can fight them hard.

Just retreat? No one fired a shot and retreated, which is undoubtedly clearly telling us that the planes are about to bomb, so you should also withdraw to the tunnel!

As a result, those US troops could only 'operate' their weapons on the spot and 'mess' at our position, and the recoilless guns and mortars were also bombarded in bursts of 'chaos', but they never dared to rush up and did not retreat!

"Hey!" Looking at the appearance of the US army, Li Baocheng was a little puzzled: "Look at this battle, aren't these devils charging?" Why don't we shoot, they won't rush......"

"They're waiting for a plane!"

"Oh!" As soon as I said this, Li Baocheng understood, and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, everyone says that American devils are 'treacherous', according to me!" Where are they worthy of one ten-thousandth of you......"

"Go, go......" I scolded angrily, "you mean that I am more 'treacherous' than the enemy, right?" ”

"No, no...... That was not what I meant! Li Baocheng realized that he had used the wrong word, and hurriedly changed his words: "I, I mean cunning......"

"Cunning?"

"Alas!" Li Baocheng sighed: "The more you say, the more wrong it is!" ”

As they spoke, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Those American troops were also a little patient, and they were 50 or 60 meters away from our position, neither attacking nor retreating, and lying on the ground and vigorously 'indiscriminately' attacking us. There were gunshots and cannons, but it didn't look like a war, because the volunteer soldiers were hiding in their positions and watching them perform like a play!

Occasionally, some fighters have itchy hands or look at the arrogant appearance of those Yankees, and they will use an enemy to practice marksmanship. I won't stop this, anyway, there is no way to be a cover for the retreat of the American army.

So the battlefield is so dramatic 'sexual' stalemate, and I am not in a hurry, anyway, with the Yankees here to accompany me, I don't believe that the enemy's planes dare to bomb when the two armies are so close to each other. It wasn't until the roar of airplanes faintly heard in the sky that the US military lost its patience and suddenly retreated towards the foot of the mountain......

"Retreat!" Seeing the retreat of the American troops, I did not dare to hesitate, and left two observers as usual and withdrew to the tunnel with the soldiers.

As soon as we ran into the pit, Miao Huaizhi followed up: "Chief of Staff! What's going on? We don't have to go up? ”

"You don't have to go up this time, let's go up next time!" I replied.

"Hey!" When Miao Huaizhi heard me say this, he took off his hat and said dejectedly: "I thought I had grabbed an important task!" I didn't expect this task to squat in the pit and not be able to hit anything! ”

With a coax, looking at Miao Huaizhi's appearance, the soldiers all laughed! V
