Chapter 145: Garland Under the Mountain
In the karst cave behind the main position of the 256 Heights, such natural rock caves are rare in the tropical hilly and mountainous terrain, and they are also the only safe places in the 256 Heights.
The premise is to hold the main position.
Li Lu's words were very straightforward, if the enemy appeared in front of the battlefield research team, it meant that the main position was exhausted.
Several people sat or stood in the wide cave, each thinking about their own thoughts, slowing their nerves, and the faint moonlight could vaguely recognize the contours of people's faces.
Everyone heard a sound of rustling, and saw Huang Guanghui's figure move for a while, and then regained calm.
Zhang Weiwei walked over and looked at it, turned back to everyone and said, "It's okay, it's just a snake." ”
When Niu Jun heard the word snake, the hairs on his body exploded all of a sudden, and he subconsciously moved closer to Rachel beside him, Rachel asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with them?" ”
"They caught a snake." Niu Jun said with a shudder.
Rachel hugged Niu Jun at once and said in horror, "Oh my God, this is really terrible." ”
Several men are very puzzled, not even afraid of death and afraid of snakes?
A woman's mind is obviously not easily understood.
The silence was broken.
Wade said, "Gentlemen, we have to do something, we can't do nothing here. ”
Only Liu Xiangyang and Niu Jun can understand English, Liu Xiangyang said, "Our boss has an order, we are safe, and he can let go of it." If you hold your position, you will hold the victory. ”
"Liu, don't forget, not long ago, we were a car crew, and we killed a lot of enemies and destroyed a tank, even though it was caused by the impact. We are not people without combat effectiveness. Wade said, "Why should it be protected now?" ”
Liu Xiangyang didn't know how to say it, how did he want the cat to be the protected person here - he was clearly also a warrior, and he was an old driver who couldn't overturn the car even if he drove a tank like steel to hit the enemy!
Niu Jun said, "For Li Lu, our safety is the most important thing. Don't forget, his job is to keep the battlefield research team safe. It was only because of the situation that he took the initiative to take over the command of the battlefield. In fact, this is also directly protecting us, if the position is gone, we people will not survive. ”
Wade was silent, sighed slightly, and said slowly, "My fighting passion was ignited, and it reminded me of six years ago, when Nixon withdrew his troops from here in disgrace, and the American people were greatly traumatized. I'd love to go with the road to give those monkeys a little color! ”
He said, waving his fists.
Liu Xiangyang and Niu Jun, who understood, were silent, Wade dared to talk about this topic, but they didn't dare to answer. In the 80s, the political consciousness of any ordinary worker was as high as a few floors, especially since the Great Movement had just ended, and people knew very well what they could say and what they could not mention.
Huang Guanghui suddenly whispered, "I want to go up to the position more than you." ”
The crowd was even more silent.
Liu Xiangyang walked up to Huang Guanghui, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered, "Comrade Guanghui, can you tell me about Xu Rudong?" ”
"There's not much to say."
In the end, it was a young man, although Huang Guanghui knew that Xu Rudong's sacrifice could not be blamed on Liu Xiangyang, but he inevitably thought in his heart that if it wasn't for protecting him, Xu Rudong would not have sacrificed.
"Lao Huang, I'm sorry for Xu Rudong, I'm sorry for you." Liu Xiangyang controlled his emotions and said in a deep voice, "If there is still a chance, I hope that I will die instead of him." ”
After all, he said that these were unsubstantial.
When he was attacked by artillery fire, he was frightened and ran around, and he would keep thinking that if it weren't for this, Xu Rudong would not have been exposed to the open area in order to save him, and there would be no such thing as blocking shrapnel for him with his body.
"Don't talk about that." Huang Guanghui was still reluctant to talk to Liu Xiangyang more.
Zhang Weiwei patted Huang Guanghui's shoulder and said nothing.
In the distance, under the moonlight, the 256 position was covered with vegetation and undulating hills of different shapes, and the rare open field in front of the position became the main battlefield for the two sides to fight, and there are still many corpses of enemy soldiers.
Li Lu inspected the defenses of the position along the trenches, patted a soldier on the shoulder as a greeting, and stopped to say a few words to the soldiers every time he passed a firing point. Before that, he first went to visit the wounded.
In the rear of the position, Li Lu ordered the troops to set up a special concentration point for the dead and wounded, the bodies of the martyrs were placed, and the wounded soldiers were treated in a centralized manner. He paid more attention to the wounded than anyone else thought, and such cases are rare. It's not that our army doesn't pay attention to the wounded, but because in the process of fighting, there is a tradition that everything that can move is in the line of fire.
Not here in Li Lu, all the injured are gathered for treatment.
When he came to the heavy machine gun fire point in the secondary position, Li Lu saw the soldiers of the machine gun squad sitting there pressing bullets into the magazines one by one. Heavy machine guns use bullet chains, which are directly loaded in the cartridge box, and after being opened, they are directly dragged into the machine gun inlet. And the soldiers are now loaded with rifle magazines, and Li Lu also saw that some soldiers are still using 56 and a half.
56 and a half and 56 punches are two completely different standard rifles, the former is a semi-automatic rifle, to put it simply, 56 and a half cannot achieve the function of pulling the trigger and not letting go of the bullet until it is light. The classic M1 rifle in the United States is such a way, pulling the trigger to shoot a bullet, but it saves the step of reloading the bolt than a manual rifle.
Over the past few years, the officers and soldiers have rated 56 and a half very poorly. The gun is a good gun, but it is not suitable for jungle combat because the firing rate is too slow.
The 56 Chong is an imitation of the Soviet-made AK-47 automatic rifle, which can basically be regarded as a Chinese version of the AK-47. In the past two years, many battles have been fully struck, and in jungle operations, the 56 Chong has won the love of officers and men more than the 56 and a half. The 56 punch is able to continuously develop its firepower, while the 56 and a half can't do that.
There were several skirmishes in which our troops, after confronting the enemy, immediately opened fire and suppressed them, in which case the fighters with 56 punches in their hands were always able to take it most calmly. In the large-scale battle two years ago, our infantry squad was equipped with only two 56 punches, and the others were 56 and a half. Later, the fatal shortcomings of the 56 and a half were discovered, and it was gradually replaced with 56 punches.
Li Lu didn't expect that the officers and soldiers of the front-line troops still had 56 and a half in their hands, perhaps because of the machine gun squad, 56 and a half were used as self-defense weapons.
He crouched down beside the soldiers, pointed at the 56-and-a-half warrior, and said, "Give me your gun." ”
The soldier didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly handed it over. Li Lu handed his 56 to him and said, "You use mine." ”
The little soldier was too timid to speak.
Li Lu asked them with a smile, "I was quite happy to hear you chatting just now, what did you say, tell me about it." ”
A bold soldier said, a little excited, he said, "Report to the chief, I heard that the art troupe is going to the front line to perform, will it come to our position?" ”
"A condolence show?" Li Lu was surprised for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't know this situation." ”
I could vaguely see the soldiers showing disappointed expressions and a slight sigh.
Li Lu said with a smile, "However, if the art troupe wants to come to the front line to condole, I will definitely let them perform at our position." ”
"Chief, is this true? This is the most dangerous position for us, and the art troupe won't come, right? A soldier said.
Li Lu said affirmatively, "Brothers, don't worry, as long as the art troupe comes, I will let them come to our position." After the battle and retreated, I personally invite everyone to eat and drink in a restaurant to watch a big show! ”
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The honest and shy soldiers giggled happily, they were all eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old, and they were ignorant young people without the sound of gunfire. These honest and shy young men will turn into jungle tigers after the gunshots are fired, and rush to the front line of defending the country.
How many people can get off the battlefield alive, Li Lu doesn't know, what he can do is to win every next battle with the smallest casualties, so that more young men can go home alive.
