The sky was getting darker, and there were no stars or mountains to be seen, only the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing in the rear, and the occasional flare like lightning that tore through the darkness, telling us that our comrades in the Wang army were making a final charge against the enemy in the Gloucester battalion.

As I expected, the American troops in front of us retreated before dark, after all, their commanders knew very well that if they did not retreat at this time, they would most likely become another surrounded force waiting for the rescue of other troops.

Their retreat also declared that the Gloucester battalion could only fight alone, perhaps with a glimmer of hope that the Gloucester battalion would be relieved, and the American army sent an unprecedented dozen fighters on this night. Surrounded the heights in batches, they carried out a frenzied bombardment of the volunteer soldiers besieging the heights.

In a mountainous region like North Korea, even with the help of flares and radars, it is still very dangerous to send fighter jets to bomb and strafe at low altitudes in the dark of night, because if you are not careful, these high-speed planes will crash into the mountains.

It can be seen how much Li Qihui attaches importance to this rescue operation, but the ending is destined to disappoint him. For I knew that the high ground on which the Gloucester battalion was now stationed would be named Gloucester Hill because of the total annihilation of their army.

The fighters of the strong regiment fought for a day and a night. By this time, he had already fallen asleep in the tunnel exhausted. But I was the only one who couldn't sleep, not because I wasn't tired, but because I fell in the battle during the day, and I was "fat" in front of my chest and back. As soon as I lay down, there will be a heart-piercing pain from the wound. Eventually, I leaned against the wall of the pit and took a nap, but I couldn't sleep when I woke up again, so I decided to go outside alone with my gun to get some air.

But what I didn't know was that it was dangerous to go out alone in this dark night, and I had just walked a short distance before I was almost killed by the secret sentry of the Volunteer Army as an enemy, but fortunately, a veteran came up in time to give the right order.

This can't be blamed on them, the supplementary soldiers who entered the DPRK this time are composed of 50,000 recruits and 7,000 veterans, that is to say, only one out of ten supplementary soldiers is a veteran, and the rest are recruits who have never fought a war. And most of these reinforcements were replenished for the forty years that they would continue to participate in the war.

Recruits! It's not strange to be so nervous that you raise your gun and shoot at the sight of a figure. It's a weird thing to get hit!

In order to avoid a similar "thrilling episode" again. I walked towards the depth of the position. I thought that the sentry's eyes and attention were all in the direction of the enemy, and it was impossible for me to walk on my own position, and he also killed me with a "quack" shot!

It turned out that I was right, for not a single sentry had jumped out to ask for my password until I had climbed a high ground and watched the artillery fire of the Frost battalion in the rear.

If someone says that our volunteer army encircles and annihilates a battalion of the enemy with the strength of one army, it is not a commendable thing. So as long as he goes to this battlefield to see it in person, he will find how wrong this view is. Not to mention that a battalion of the US military is almost a regiment of the Chinese People's Volunteers, just by looking at the planes and artillery that the US military has put on the battlefield, as well as the warships on both sides of the strait, we know that we must not use one. The strength of the battalion is a measure of the enemy we are going to face.

With the whistling of an airplane, a huge black shadow passed over me. By the light of the flares, I saw a transport plane dropping four or five boxes of supplies on the British defenses. But it can be imagined. With the airdrop of supplies in the dark of night, and the fact that the British were only guarding such a small hill, it would be nice for them to get a box of supplies.

Presumably, the British army is almost out of ammunition and food! I thought to myself that the U.S. military had always attached great importance to not leaving supplies to us, but now that I knew that most of the supplies would fall into our hands, I still had to desperately airdrop them, which seemed to be telling.

Just then, a few strange noises in the grass not far below caught my attention, and I couldn't help but slowly raise the rifle in my hand, but it was pitch black ahead and I couldn't see anything.

Is it the enemy? Or is it my own person who comes out to breathe like me?

I was contemplating whether or not to shout at them when a few vague conversations in English convinced me that there was an enemy ahead.

"Be careful!" I heard a British soldier whisper: "If the enemy finds out, we will be finished".

"I can't see the enemy sentinels!" Another British soldier replied: "These damn Chinese, where the hell are they hiding?".

"Shhhh What you need now is patience."

They were very close to me, only a dozen meters away.

There were only two people listening to the sounds, perhaps because of the sound of gunfire in the distance, and they climbed until so close that I didn't notice.

It wasn't easy for just two people," I thought, pulling my pistol from my waist and whispering in English in their direction, "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm here, come here! Safe here"

Then he raised his pistol and waited for them to crawl over, but to my surprise, the sound from below made me quickly realize that there were definitely more than two of them, and the black wriggling *** when they climbed closer made me even more convinced of this.

Why am I so careless! Seeing this, I couldn't help but hate in my heart, if I observed in the grass for a little longer, I wouldn't be like this!

But at this point, I had no choice but to continue pretending. I thought about it, and when I turned around, I endured the pain and learned to lie down in the grass like them, so that they would not see my face.

"What's the situation?" A British soldier who sounded like their commander crawled up to me, and as soon as he opened his mouth, I could hear a thick smell of smoke, but he leaned in and lowered his voice and asked, "Have you found the enemy?" ”

"No, sir." I replied, "I didn't see a single Chinese, but I think there was a battlefield around here because I smelled blood!" ”

At this time, I fully realized the benefits of English in salutation, and I didn't know whether it was the company commander or the platoon commander next to me. But I just need to call him sir, "yes, like I don't know if it's an uncle or an uncle." However, it would be right to call him "Otherwise, my first sentence would have been a goof."

"Good!" The commander nodded, as if appreciating my carefulness and judgment: "I observed this position before dark, there is a squadron of a regiment stationed here, I can't believe they can repel the attack of our reinforcements!" ”

"Sir!" A British soldier asked in a low voice: "Since you already know that there are Chinese here, why did you choose to break through here?" ”

"The more dangerous the party, the safer the place!" The British commander pointed to the position of the Volunteer Army below the high ground and said: "The main task of the squadron below is to attack our reinforcements, so all their attention is focused on the front, and the defense of the rear will be relaxed; And the squadron besieging us, they could never have imagined that we would choose to pass through the positions of their friendly troops, so this is our only chance, if we pass through here, then we are safe! ”

Hearing the analysis of this British commander, I couldn't help but secretly admire him in my heart, our regiment is really like what he said. I thought that the Wang army could run away from the Gloucester camp with a single army, so I didn't guard against my rear at all. And the comrades of the Calcium Army were thinking after the breakout of the Gloucester Battalion, this place was guarded by comrades from a regiment of the 40th Army! The enemy was almost crippled by us, how dare you run in this direction, so just,,

Alas! This Gloucester battalion is really not easy to deal with, and I am even more self-inflicted, and I can hit a company of British soldiers if I have nothing to do.

"But sir!" At this time, a British soldier said worriedly: "We have not found the sentry of the squadron *** all this time. They must have set up a sentry, and it was almost impossible for us to get through it without us knowing. If we do, we're afraid we won't have enough bullets left to do that

"Hmmm! It's up to our luck! The commander gritted his teeth, looked at his watch, and ordered: "Break through in five minutes, when I give the order, everyone is only allowed to run forward, not to turn back, not to save the wounded!" ”

"Yes!" The surrounding British soldiers whispered.

Then I had an idea, and said to the British commander, "May I make a suggestion?" Sir! ”

"Say it!" The British commander nodded: "This may be your last words!" ”

"Sir!" I calmed down, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Give me some time, I can go around to the other side of the enemy's position and draw the enemy away, and then it will be much safer for you to break through." ”

"It's a great idea!" The British commander nodded: "But you"

"Don't worry about this!" I feigned a righteous tone and said, "I think it's worth it, but I need a 'strong' machine gun and a couple of grenades."

"No problem, you're good!" The British commander quickly ordered his men to send a few grenades, a machine gun and three magazines, and then said, "All the machine gun bullets are here, you have time to re-bell, good luck!" ”

"Good luck too". I thought to myself that I had tricked the only bit of machine-gun bullet into my hands. Let's see what you can do to fight the volunteers later.

After shaking hands with the officer, I turned and crawled in the other direction, and where I passed, the British soldiers climbed up to shake my hand one after another, and said some goodbyes, which made me feel a little unbearable.

So I couldn't help gritting my teeth, got up and ran a few steps to hide in a crater, and then turned around and set up a machine gun to say to those British soldiers: "I am a Chinese People's Volunteers, surrender!" I can guarantee your life! ”

"What? Are you crazy? The British still didn't believe what I said, and some of them even laughed. Thought I was joking.

"It's not a joke!" I aimed at them with the black 'hole' and 'hole' muzzle of the machine gun, and put my finger lightly on the trigger to make a 'shot' stance, which made the British soldiers not believe it

。

"Gentlemen, I don't want to add unnecessary casualties!" I said to the British soldiers: "Things have developed like this, and you know that you will not be able to escape successfully, not to mention that you have no way to escape from my machine guns, as long as the guns are fired, you will soon be surrounded!" ”

"Are you really Chinese?" The voice of the British commander came from the darkness, and he still didn't seem to believe that he had lost like this.

"Look at this!" I casually took off the cotton hat from my head and threw it over.

"Damn, what the hell!" After the British soldier on the opposite side took the cotton hat, there was soon a scolding.

"Surrender!" I continued: "You are out of bullets, don't put up a useless resistance, that would make no sense except to kill a few more people!" ”

The fingers of the mouth were tightly pressed on the trigger. The palms of his hands were sweating. To be honest, there are dozens of well-trained British troops, and it's fake that I'm not nervous, but I think it's worth trying.

Most Orientals are ashamed of surrendering, so there are many armies that would rather die than surrender, such as the Volunteer Army. There are also the Vietnamese, and the popular thing in these armies is to tie a grenade to their body and keep it for themselves, and when they run out of ammunition and food and are about to be captured by the enemy, they will pull this grenade and would rather die than surrender, which is what we often call the glorious bullet.

But this is not the case with the European and American countries, and when they run out of ammunition and food, or hold out to the last life and death moment, surrender is not a shameful thing for them. Even if they surrender, they will one day return home and still be regarded as heroes for their battle deeds.

Western countries have always valued life, and it is a matter of course for them to save their lives when they cannot change the tide of war. This is also the reason why the whole army of the Gloucester Battalion in history of more than 700 people fought to the end, and there were even tough people who surrendered. This is not to say that they are cowardly, courageous, undetermined or courageous.

This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, in our eyes it is a surrender that is greedy for life and fear of death, but in the eyes of Westerners, it is they who do their best, they fight until the last moment, and they vote with honor

That's why I dare to persuade a group of British troops to surrender now with a machine gun, if I were on the battlefield of the Vietnam War now, with a 'strong' machine gun pointed at each person with a "glorious bullet" strapped to their bodies. of the Viet Cong, it is no different from looking for death.

At this time, several British soldiers at the end of the line were a little dishonest, maybe they thought I couldn't see or something, and wanted to sneak away from behind, ** raised the machine gun and pointed it at them It was a shuttle, only to hit the British soldiers who hurriedly retracted their heads. At the same time, the sound of gunfire also woke up the volunteer soldiers who were asleep in the tunnel, and they quickly grabbed their guns and ran out into the position, and then sent another company to outflank the place following the gunfire.

"Okay!" With the last glimmer of hope for a breakout dashed. The British commander raised his hand, slowly stood up, and said, "We surrender, and you must keep your promise to ensure our personal safety!" ”

"You can trust me!" I nodded and replied: "You can also trust the squadron, we Chinese People's Volunteers do not kill prisoners!" ”

"I've heard about this too, so I don't need you to say more!" The British commander seemed to be a little dissatisfied with me, and after spitting on the ground, he turned to his subordinates behind him and ordered: "I order you to lay down your arms and surrender, you have done your best!" ”

Then, with a crackling sound, the British soldiers stood up one by one, untied their weapons and piled them in front of me.

There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and I knew that it was the soldiers who had caught up, so I hurriedly shouted behind me: "Liberate New China!" ”

"Serve the people!" With a familiar voice, I heard Zhao Yongxin shout unexpectedly: "Is it Deputy Battalion Commander Cui?" What was the gunshot just now?

Before the words fell, he saw a figure flashing, and Zhao Yongxin ran up, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw so many British soldiers standing in front of him on the mountain, and then raised the rifle in his hand like a 'shot'.

I hurriedly grabbed his rifle and held it down: "What are you doing?" Don't you see them all raising their hands? ”

"They," Zhao Yongxin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to react, but he still asked with a little disbelief: "Have they all surrendered?" Deputy Battalion Commander Cui: "So many people? You, you're alone? ”

At this time, the soldiers who climbed up the mountain gathered more and more, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this strange scene.

Deputy Battalion Commander Cui and the old squad leader also came up and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with them?" I looked at the soldiers. It's like the one we fought with, "What's the name of Camp Gloucester!" Isn't it 'quite 'good' to fight? Why did so many people let you be captured at once? ”

"Isn't it easy?" I replied angrily, "Didn't you see the machine gun in my hand?" They're all out of bullets, so I'm kind of picking up a ready-made one! ”

"Oh!" The old squad leader 'touched' his head, but he still shook his head and didn't believe it.

"My name is Cui Wei!" I put away my gun, walked over to the group of British soldiers, and handed the British commander a cigarette.

He simply took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, then naturally took out his lighter and lit it, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "My name is Ott, Wells, and other than that." If you still want to know anything from my mouth. Then you'd be wrong."

I smiled wryly. I thought to myself that I probably knew much more than you: "I just want to tell you, Mr. Wells, that I did not have to risk fighting you alone just now, that I had a quarter of an hour to gather my troops and surround you, and then I thought that your fate would not be the same as it is now."

Hearing this, Wells's hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but stop in mid-air, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

This. That's what I wanted, and it wasn't until then that I felt like I had really beaten him.
