Regarding the company commander Zhao Yifa's request to him to shell, Sun Lei thought for a moment, and replied in a somewhat helpless tone: "Company commander, just now, before you came, I also took the telescope to observe.

"I found dozens of small hills or hills, about fifty meters from the hill we were, which were no longer in the range of mortar fire and lethality. If we fire shells, we are wasting shells in vain. ”

After saying this, Sun Lei suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution, he just wasn't sure if the company commander Zhao Yifa would agree to the seemingly very risky solution he had just come up with.

After a pause of about ten seconds, he changed his words and continued in a tentative tone: "But, company commander, I have thought of a way to continue the shelling, but it is ......."

Hearing Sun Lei speak, he looked like he was spitting out, and suddenly, the company commander Zhao Yifa felt a little anxious, and before Sun Lei finished speaking, he immediately interrupted, and said in an impatient tone: "Platoon Commander Sun, don't continue to sell with me, you quickly tell me, what is the solution you just thought of, don't just stop it, just tell me directly." ”

Sun Lei, who was a little undecided, was urged by the company commander Zhao Yifa to be anxious, he immediately held the mentality of going out, was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and then said straight to the point: "Company commander, the solution I came up with is to drag the ten mortars behind us for another 20 meters, so that the American soldiers hiding behind more than a dozen small hills or hills will be completely within the range of shelling." ”

After hearing Sun Lei's words, Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was still in a hurry just now, immediately thought about it carefully, and felt that the method that Sun Lei came up with was really good, and the ten mortars could be moved.

Since the range of mortar shelling and lethality is between 50 meters and 200 meters, and since those American soldiers are very cunning to hide behind a small hill or hill less than 50 meters away from the hillside where we are, then we took the initiative to move the mortar back by a distance of 20 meters, and this is not within the range of shelling and lethality

Thinking about this, the company commander Zhao Yifa hurriedly urged Sun Lei again: "Platoon Commander Sun, I'll just say, your kid belongs to Sun Monkey, this head is very smart." In my opinion, this method you came up with is very good, why didn't you say it earlier, why do you have to grind and chirp.

"Okay, since you kid has come up with a solution, then without further ado, hurry up and take the twenty soldiers in your platoon, and quickly move the ten mortars back a distance of about twenty meters.

"After I moved it, I quickly aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the dozens of small hills and hills and carried out an indiscriminate bombardment, I don't believe in this evil, give them an artillery bombardment, and you must not blow them up these American devils, even if you don't blow them up, you must use shells to blow them all up for him."

As soon as the company commander Zhao Yifa finished his words in a rather excited mood, Sun Lei said in a somewhat worried tone: "Company commander, it's just that if these ten mortars are moved back by more than 20 meters, then the trenches and air-raid shelters in front of us are 50 to 60 meters away from the moved mortars, and they are also within the scope of the shelling."

"Just now, I observed that these ten mortars are all second-hand goods of the US military, and they have been resold to the ROK troops, and they are still a little unstable in terms of performance, in case the shells fall on the trenches or bomb shelters, it will blow up our own comrades. Although this possibility is very low, but if you don't shoot 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. So, company commander, I don't think it's a bit risky for us to move the mortar back. ”

In fact, when Sun Lei had commanded a platoon of 20 soldiers before to shell the American soldiers who were charging at the hillside where their third company of sharp knives was located, he discovered this problem as a good observer.

At least every three waves of shells fired just now, at least one shell fell at a distance of fifty to sixty meters from where they were excavating, and it happened to land at the foot of the hill on the north side of the hillside.

At first, Sun Lei thought it was a problem with a certain mortar, but as a result, after more than 20 waves of shells were fired, after his meticulous observation, he further found that among the ten mortars, each mortar had this similar problem, which immediately attracted his attention.

If the mortar is not moved back, Sun Lei thinks that this is not a big deal at all, it can be completely ignored, and anyway, it has not injured the soldiers of their sharp knife company for three times, so there is nothing to worry about.

But the problem is that if these ten mortars move back, let alone 20 meters, or 30 or 40 meters, or even farther away, there will be a problem that the shells will be constantly whining, and the location of the landing will be very close or there will be a gap with his expected distance, so he feels that he should not take this risk.

Just now, the company commander Zhao Yifa was still very happy for the good solution that Sun Lei came up with, but after listening to the problems that Sun Lei pointed out about the mortar, his face suddenly became ugly, and his brows frowned.

After shaking his head, the company commander Zhao Yifa let out a long sigh and continued to ask Sun Lei, who was standing in front of him: "Sun Lei, since you kid said that you can't risk that the shells may blow up our own people in the three companies of the sharp knife company, then just move the mortars backwards."

"Then you think about it again, now you can't shoot these American devils, if you can't bomb them with artillery, then how should we clean up these American devils next?"

After thinking about it for about a minute, Sun Lei at this time, he replied categorically to Zhao Yifa, the company commander standing in front of him with a sad face: "Company commander, in my opinion, we have to use this method to deal with these American devils now, that is, send a platoon or so of soldiers to rush to the bottom of the hillside and directly capture them alive."

"According to my assessment and guess, if nothing else, these American soldiers who were scared of each other, when they saw our soldiers rushing in front of them, they would definitely surrender with their arms tied up, and they would not encounter much resistance from them."
