Yang Maode thought about what everyone said, and decided to stay. This squad was ordered by the company to turn around and occupy this position again. Just now, the company was not manpowered, and everyone was red-eyed, so they only cared about charging forward, where did they have time to hold on?

Yang Maode then told him about several dangers in this position, especially the situation that there were still a large number of Soviet troops on the opposite side of the mountain, and he stressed that it was necessary to control the machine-gun position he had just occupied: "That is the commanding height, and it is also the only way for the enemy to come and sneak attack. ”

"Are there really a few hundred people over there?" Hearing him say that there were so many enemies across the ridge, everyone gasped.

After the squad leader quickly reported to his superiors through the radio, he was ordered to stay on the spot for at least two days.

They joined them in setting up a cordon and improving the fortifications, and everyone was busy until it was almost dark in the evening. The fortifications were repaired, all the ammunition scattered on the positions was collected and distributed to the various positions, and the eight soldiers who died in friendly forces were also properly housed and moved to the grass huts, in a row.

It was getting dark.

It rained at night, not very much, dripping, wetting the leaves, grass, and soil blown up by shells. After several rounds of rest, it is now Yang Maode on guard, and the deputy squad leader and Lu Zhigang are holding guns, curled up under the bunker, covered with overcoats, and half-asleep.

The night was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

What was that?

The drizzle has a very slight touch of grass blades. It's people, it's the footsteps of people. Footsteps came from the ridge ahead.

The enemy has come to sneak attack.

Yang Maode quickly kicked back the two with his legs and woke them up. The two gently undressed themselves and entered the firing position. Yang Maode heard the soldier Lu Zhigang next to him breathing nervously, and Yang Maode said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, you can fire again after I fire." At this moment, with his own people by his side, he became calmer after experiencing the lonely battle during the day, and he warned his comrades around him.

"Put it in and beat it up."

He used to be a platoon lieutenant, and there were many people under him, and the company commander taught him the skills of commanding operations, and he knew how to assign manpower in battle...... When attacking, the firepower is suppressed, one person breaks through, or alternately covers, rolling in turns, and when defending, the firepower is concentrated and the front line is blocked...... He memorized all these tactics one by one. Now he is very calm, he feels that Lu Zhigang next to him is his own soldier and his subordinate. Lu Zhigang is actually a veteran, older and older than him as an officer, but the individual differences of people are different, his adrenaline secretion may be more, although he has also experienced a day of killing, but he may not have completely changed his habits of sudden nervousness.

Everyone lay quietly in the bunker, quietly waiting for the enemy to touch. A man in front of him stepped on the pit and fell down, causing a loud sound in the branches in front of him. It's only twenty meters! "Hit!" Yang Maode whispered and took the lead in firing.

The other side fought back violently.

"The first squad is on the left, the second squad is on the right, and the others are covering with fire! ......," shouted the man opposite.

"Your own people? Hurry up and cease fire! Cease fire! The three defenders shouted this sentence almost at the same time.

Less than twenty seconds after the fire, the battle stopped.

The other party was still very suspicious, and someone shouted and asked: "Is it really your own person?" What about the troop number? ”

A soldier said the number of his unit and the number of companies, and the other party believed it.

"Each class reports casualties to see if anyone suffers."

After a while, Yang Maode heard the report from the front: "Report to the platoon commander, there are no casualties in the first squad, no casualties in the second squad, and ...... in the third squad."

Yang Maode suddenly became nervous, there was no movement over there for a long time, and the three of them couldn't breathe, waiting anxiously. I only heard someone shouting "ouch", accompanied by several muttering.

It took a long time to hear someone report: "Someone in the third shift was slightly wounded, and the bullet grazed his shoulder and broke a little skin." ”

"I said, are there any casualties? Is the report complete? Tell me something. The class leader shouted.

"Yes, yes......" Yang Maode was really anxious.

"Report to the platoon commander, only one person in the third shift was slightly injured, broke a little skin, and stopped bleeding. Report complete. ”

"I said, okay, okay, it's okay, otherwise it's a big loss. Now follow my orders, the third shift is on guard in the rear, and the others will go up with me. ”

In the dark night, the platoon commander came immediately with people, panting: "I said, brother, you are amazing, the position is still in your hands?" ”

Yang Maode hurriedly replied: "In, in, in." ”

"Yes, that's good. I said, brother, should you also shout before you start firing, so as not to misunderstand. Fortunately, you didn't throw a grenade, but one person was slightly injured and grazed by the bullet, otherwise it would not be good to kill people, and he would have died in a mess. Let's get acquainted, I said, know a dry egg, look at the dark on the ground. A few words to introduce it, the Chinese army is also from this unit, the 121st regiment. I said, you are very vigilant, the Chinese army touched all the way, and they were careful, and they all killed several outposts of the Soviet army, silently, without danger, but they still let you know it. I said, if you die at the hands of your own people, I don't know if you should be a martyr, hehe. ”

Everyone laughed softly.

"You are also the 121st regiment? I haven't heard of you, which battalion? 3 battalion? of the 1st battalion of the Chinese army. ”

It turned out that they were of the same regiment, but because of the different garrisons, they did not know each other. But now it is extra affectionate, and at this time the squad leader also came running with a few people. Asked about the firefight.

The platoon commander said: "I said, some people reported that there were still a large number of enemies near this position, and they called the Chinese army to assist in the defense, and they had to take a shortcut, for fear that the night would be long and the dream would be too much, and the position would be lost. I said, it's okay, the position is still there, you guys have worked hard. ”

"Hua Jun Company? The Chinese army has only one squad of manpower. The squad leader replied.

The platoon commander was taken aback: "I said, what? You're just one class? How did this battle go, we have less than fifty people combined, and we have to deal with five hundred, brother! That's enough. You see, it's dark now, and if the enemy comes to carry out a sneak attack, it will not be easy to do. During the day, the battalion headquarters and the regimental headquarters all came to the telephone, and went down to the Chinese army company, but the position has not yet changed its defense, and the Chinese army will come first, and there will be a large number of other men and horses tomorrow, and maybe all the Chinese army companies will come up here. I said, "Tomorrow will be fine, and it's better not to have anything happen tonight." However, if you are out of the way, you have to stick to every squad before, not to mention that there is now an extra platoon of the Chinese army? Fuck, just swear to live and die with the position! ”

When Yang Maode heard this, he was excited and said: "I'm really sorry just now, the Chinese army focused on dealing with the enemy on the opposite side, and I didn't expect that my own people would come from this direction in the dark night." Now is it time to deploy? ”

The platoon commander said: "Okay, tonight, the situation of the Chinese army is not familiar, according to your deployment during the day, it is good to strengthen the manpower." After this night, everything is easy. During the day, the Chinese army can also widen the front again, and put more camps and less swings. ”

After coming to this platoon, the big guys were much more relaxed this night, especially Yang Maode, who had no scruples and felt that there was nothing to worry about anymore.

Now the new platoon commander Zhao is the supreme commander on the position, and everyone is under his command in all actions. Platoon Commander Zhao only ordered a part of the men to be dispersed to the original post of this squad, and left one squad of the remaining two squads as a mobile squad, and one squad to strengthen the trench defense. The temporary platoon was placed in one of the two straw houses, surrounded by a cross trench, and a squad was placed.

Yang Maode felt very satisfied, and he believed that there was not enough manpower at present, so he could only do more and less to reduce the casualties caused by the enemy's large-scale attack. At each outpost, the firepower was strengthened to kill and wound the enemy to the greatest extent possible. Just now, Platoon Commander Zhao left a squad with machine guns on this small high ground they defended, and he was even more satisfied, now there are six people here, and the strength has been greatly strengthened. This is the first line of defense to delay the enemy's attack on the opposite side, and it should be able to kill the enemy to the maximum extent and block the enemy's advance. Because the road on the main ridge is not wide, and both sides are steep, it can be said to be a unique ridge. Yang Maode did not understand why the enemy wanted to give up here, and the combat strategies of the enemy and us should be similar, and the tactics should be very similar. This is the relationship between Europe and Europe for many years, and it is in the same vein. But it is clear that the Soviets made a mistake this time.

Of course, the enemy's sneak attack route is not only from the ridge, they have many options, such as going down the ridge directly from the opposite side to the bottom of the valley, and then climbing up from below. But in that case, the grass was too dense, and it was easy to expose the line and guide the Chinese army's condescending blows. Moreover, the corresponding edge of this riding line ridge and the opposite ridge is also a long cliff, and it is impossible for ordinary people to climb up at all, and there are only a few places where they can climb up one by one, but they are all prepared for the Chinese army to wait for the rabbit. Now it is the Chinese army on the defensive, condescending, and the enemy is going to fight. Defending is a tougher task because you don't know when the enemy is coming to attack, so you have to be ready for battle at all times. And the enemies who counterattack are crazy, and the battle will be more intense.

In the second half of the night, there was a fog, and the wind was swishing, blowing over the mountains and ridges, wrapped in fog, touching people's faces, and it was particularly cold. Before dawn, Yang Maode had already descended the mountain. Last night, small units of the enemy came to attack twice, but they were both repulsed. Once, they climbed up from the cliff, and the soldiers guarding there lay on their stomachs and kept silent, and when five of them came up, they suddenly attacked, and three of them were put down, and two of them jumped off the cliff and fled "desperately". The other time it was touched by the place where six of them were defending, and there were about four or five of them, to try their luck. was put into a range of 20 meters by Yang Maode, and only then did he open fire violently, killing two people. The remaining three also fled wildly, and one of them fled in a panic, and judging by the rolling and screaming, he probably fell down the ridge and fell to his death.

From this side of the ridge, there are bomb craters and trenches around the mountain everywhere, and there are fewer of them going down. The grass and dense forests are almost unascertainable. When dawn came, Yang Maode was going to find his troops, and the two soldiers sent by Platoon Commander Zhao had been sending him through several Soviet blockade lines and touched several enemy forward positions, and now he had to rush back before dawn.

They broke up in a valley. A Cantonese soldier escorting him said: "Brother, this is the place where the Soviet red hairs haunt, be careful." Out of this valley, go to the left, where your company's position is about a short distance. It was not safe to get out of this valley, so I was careful to run into Soviet agents, who reported that they often came from this road to carry out sneak attacks and sabotage. We're going back, and you're careful yourself. If you encounter a Soviet agent, try to avoid it, don't be afraid. Brother, take care, I hope I can see you next time. ”

"Thank you, I see. This place is high and densely forested, and Soviet agents and swimming sentinels are haunted, so you should be careful, don't think that you will be okay when you come, and you will be bold when you go back. Everybody be careful, goodbye. Yang Maode said reluctantly.

"Goodbye." The two warriors spoke, turned around, and disappeared into the morning mist forest. Yang Maode watched the two disappear and leave in the blurred morning light, and suddenly felt lonely. "Goodbye." He still had that in his heart.

He walked along the left side of the valley, cautiously, and slowly touched it. His body was already soaked with dew from the grass leaves, and he didn't feel the heat, but he felt that his body was cold, but it wasn't cold, and he was about to walk for a long time, and his spirit was very careful to pay attention to the enemy's situation, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.

It was getting brighter and brighter, and birds were heard. Bird! He suddenly remembered the sentence "The bird misses the old forest, and the fish in the pond thinks about the old place" in his mind. The morning air was cool, and the grass and branches were full of dewdrops. The fog is still very strong. Yang Maode was cautiously touching forward, when he suddenly heard the voice of the Soviet soldiers. He quickly hid himself and hid in a bush of long grass. When the Soviets came, he saw four guys carrying ammunition, about to go up the hill, and stopped to rest at the uphill junction in front of him. Two of the four were actually wearing the helmets of the Chinese army. At this time, I sat on the ammunition box, took off the helmet, and played with it carefully, thinking it was a good thing, and I couldn't put it down.

To fight or not to fight? Yang Maode struggled fiercely with his thoughts. He thought, what if he fights, what if he attracts more people? I don't know if there is anyone behind them. It's not a problem to hit these four people, they are so close, with submachine guns in hand, and if they attack suddenly, they are 100% sure that they will be completely annihilated. But he was still afraid that it would attract more people, and wanted to wait and see.

The four guys rested for a while, made a few jokes, and soon got up with their things on their shoulders and climbed up the hill. If you don't fight again, it's too late, and when you go up the mountain, as soon as the shots go out, as long as they roll over, they hide everywhere. Yang Maode raised his gun and was about to open fire, when suddenly he heard the sound of someone talking from behind him. How can it be that the Soviets again? Not good this time.

A few Soviet soldiers across the valley on the opposite side heard the sound of talking, immediately stopped, and the last one put down the ammunition box, turned around and picked up the submachine gun and pointed it at Yang Maode, shouted something, and pulled the bolt. There were about several Soviet soldiers behind Yang Maode, gossiping and scolding. These people were silent, and they didn't know when they came behind them, less than ten meters, so close, Yang Maode was startled.

The two sides answered, and the tension was cleared. But Yang Maode was not relaxed, he had to find a place to hide, otherwise the people who came down from the mountain behind him, after a few more steps, he would be exposed. However, he must not leave, and if there is any abnormal movement, he will undoubtedly be asked questions, and if he cannot answer, he can only resort to force. A solution by force is now something he absolutely does not expect.

Now that the morning fog had not yet dissipated, the thick fog condensed into dewdrops, and he turned back to see that the traces of the grass behind him were too obvious, which would undoubtedly arouse the suspicion of the Soviet army. If they follow along, where will they hide?

Just as he was nervously thinking about countermeasures, the Soviet troops who came down the mountain behind him spoke again, and their voices went up the mountain. It turned out that this was just a mobile agent of the Soviet army, and when he heard the voice of someone under the mountain, he quietly touched it down to check the movement. Now that the situation is understood, I left again. These agents really came and went without a trace, and it was frightening.

"Fortunately, I didn't be greedy and warlike just now, and I really made a noise, and it didn't end well!" Yang Maode thought secretly, and waited for those people to go far before quietly turning out of the grass again.

Before he could move, suddenly an earth-shattering cannon sound came from a position on the mountain behind him, and the ground trembled slightly. The cannon went off for about four or five minutes and stopped. Yang Maode listened, after this artillery attack, there was no fierce exchange of individual weapons nearby. That means the impact point is still far from here.

So he continued along the left side of the valley. From time to time, there are Soviet army supply and demand personnel in the valley to carry ammunition and materials to the opposite mountain, and it seems that they are also preparing for a long-term confrontation with the Chinese army.

The fog in the valley dispersed very quickly, and rushed towards it with great speed, engulfing people and everything around them. Yang Maode cursed the damn mist in a low voice, making him suffer enough.

In this valley, the Soviets went up the mountain behind him in groups from time to time, and every time he carefully avoided them.

As we walked, the valley widened and widened, and a small dam appeared in front of it. He quickly hid in a bamboo grove on his left and took a closer look. The fog was so thick that he didn't see anything of value. I just felt that there were a lot of people in the dam in front of me, and there were many shadows, coming and going, carrying things.

He dared to make his way around the exit of the dam to see something. This time, he was lucky to see that on the opposite side, that is, to the right of the dam that had just come out of the valley, there seemed to be a faint stretch, and there was a smaller gourd dam, surrounded by mountains. In the moment the fog cleared, he saw that it was an artillery position. The muzzle of the howitzer stretched upwards and pointed at the positions of the Chinese troops. The cannon was covered with straw clothes and was well camouflaged.
