The battlefield suddenly became unusually silent for him, and he felt that it was very good, and he did not feel anything abnormal; What's even more bizarre is that in this new red world, the actions of the Soviet troops in the ditch and on the opposite leg of the mountain, and the rise of fireworks after the shells landed, are extremely slow, like slow motion in the movie, not like the real landscape. It was also the bullets from the light and heavy machine guns of the Soviet rifles and submachine guns that became slow: he had already seen the muzzle of the opponent's gun glowing with ochre-red tongues of fire, and the bullets fell on the rock in front of him as if half a century had passed! He was no longer in a hurry, and the horror, the mass that blocked his throat from breathing, seemed to be dissolved in this deformed and silent world. Death had become a foregone conclusion, and he was indifferent to it. Indulging in this novel red world, he even gradually quieted down: the world changed, the war changed, it no longer looked like a real fight but like a game. Since it's a game, it's nothing to him!

He fired. The bullets he shoots are also slow. It was very late that he saw one of the Soviet soldiers running in front of him in the ditch fall backwards. Then the second Soviet army also fell. The Soviets in the back retreated, their steps like a kind of dance on cotton.

Shang Yujun's attention was attracted by a Soviet soldier: he ran out of the retreating formation alone, and for some reason two black and red fireworks slowly rose from the soles of his feet. The Soviet soldier died at a particularly slow pace: he slowly flew into the air, and then slowly fell to the ground; Then another firework slowly rose up, lifted him into the air again, fell to the place where the first fireworks rose, and did not move - it was death, but it was not like real death!

The Soviet troops in the gully retreated to the side of the mountain beam line. Shang Yujun turned the muzzle of his gun and aimed at the Soviet heavy machine gun on the leg of the mountain. He pulls the trigger and then expects the other man's reaction. The red heavy machine gun trembled like a living thing, and the bullets scattered out in a mess; Then he shook again, regained his senses, and slowly spat out tongues of fire, slamming bullets into the grass in front of him. Shang Yujun glanced at the opposite leg of the mountain, and couldn't help but feel surprised: for some reason, the Soviet army, which had failed to attack the gully from that rift twice in a row, went down the same road to the gully for the third time! They could have chosen one or more new attack routes to attack! Shang Yujun felt that the war in this red world was becoming more and more unreal: the Soviet army seemed to be abiding by an agreement that had been made with us a long time ago, and recognized that this was the only way to go, and it was necessary to break through the fire blockade of the Chinese army from here and hit the 634 heights.

His anger was stirred up again! The actions of the Soviets showed their stubbornness, which in itself does not belong to the real attitude of the game. , which seems to contain an unpleasant meaning to insult the opponent. Shang Yu is unwilling to accept this kind of insult, even in the game - you have to come from this path, I have to block you on this path!

He didn't know how long he held out behind the pebble with a submachine gun, how many Soviet attacks he repulsed, only that every Soviet attack was repulsed, and that one of the Soviet heavy machine guns and two light machine guns on the legs of the Big Nose Peak kept shooting at him, but he dodged them all, on the contrary, he hit the opponent several times; Later, there were people who participated in the battle, and every time the Soviets reorganized the attack, they fell one after another before he could pull the trigger. The support of these people made him feel relieved.

A heavy machine gun suddenly roared angrily from the leg of the mountain in the 631 highland in the north, and hit the bullet violently on the leg of the big nose peak; Then, from the waist on the southwest side of the main peak of the 633 Heights, a light machine gun also condescendingly fired at the Soviet troops on the leg of the Big Nose Peak.

They immediately dealt a great blow to the Soviet troops, greatly relieving the pressure on the sniper positions of the 9th Company and 3rd Platoon at the foot of the northwest side of the 634 Heights. Shang Yujun heard the cry of the new heavy machine gun, and it was at this moment that he regained his hearing. The world is still a red world, the heavens, the mountains, the grass and trees, and the Soviet troops on the legs of the opposite mountains are still deformed and ugly, but his consciousness has reawakened with the recovery of hearing. He understood many simple but important things: the whole platoon had been fighting side by side with him; As soon as a heavy machine gun on the leg of the southern mountain of the 631 Heights screamed, it saved itself and the whole platoon from the pressure of Soviet troops and death; The reason why the Soviet troops on the leg of the Big Nose Peak insisted on charging from the same path to the 634 heights was that it was probably the only safe passage in the Soviet minefield, which in turn helped them hold this vulnerable sniper line. In the end, he understood that he did not die after an unprecedented and tragic battle, but Lu Liwei, the leader of the seventh squad who had covered him with his body, died. Lu Liwei was still lying beside him, his limbs spread out, and a pair of big godless eyes stared up at the sky blankly. Shang Yujun stretched out a hand and wiped away the slimy layer that had been covering his face. In an instant, the red world in front of him turned into a world shrouded in the black veil of death!

As a result, from the northwest side of Heights 634, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the ice between his feelings and thoughts shattered! He remembered everything that had happened after that. He personally took part in a battle and personally shot and killed more than one Soviet soldier. He crossed the barrier that he thought he could not overcome before the war, and fought to the death with the Soviet army. What's more, he didn't die. Thinking of all this, an uncontrollable grief rushed up Shang Yujun's throat like a tide, and he suddenly choked loudly.

Lu Liwei, the seventh squad leader, is the son of a farmer in the mountainous area of western Sichuan. Lu Liwei is a filial son. He first wanted to be a soldier, and then he wanted to be an officer, not for himself, but for his father. His parents are just one of his children, and he wants to be more promising. But before going to war, he thought about death and left a suicide note in his shirt pocket on his chest. Even when he left this suicide note, he didn't think of himself, but only of his parents.

At the end of the 3rd Regiment's offensive at Ridge No. 1 in the morning, he did rejoice that their company might no longer take part in the battle; But when the 9th Company entered combat under the 634 height, he immediately became heroic.

His role was to rush to the sniper line on the northwest side of the high ground in time, and with an accurate and powerful first strike, he blocked back the Soviet troops rushing from the leg of the Big Nose Peak, and won the most precious few minutes for the whole platoon to deploy and engage in the battle on this sniper line one after another.

He had been killed by a heavy machine-gun bullet that pierced his heart, so his life immediately dissipated, and he felt little real pain except for the first moment.

The heavy machine gun that appeared on the leg of the 631 highland mountain north of Dabi Peak was fired by Liu Zongsheng himself. Together with another light machine gun that had advanced to the recess on the southwest side of the main peak of the 633 Heights, it effectively pinned down and struck at the enemy reinforcements of the 634 Heights at the beginning of the attack, so that the Soviet troops on the legs of the Big Nose Peak had to turn their main weapons, including a heavy machine gun, to cope with the heavy blows from the north and northeast. The Soviet infantry, which had lost fire cover, was still stubbornly sniping from the 9th Company and 3rd Platoon from the opposite side of the gully, and although the attack on the 634 heights had not completely stopped, it was already in a state of semi-disintegration.

From the first gunshot explosion on the northwest side of Heights 634 to the heavy machine gun's fierce strings of bullets under Liu Zongsheng's command, two hours passed. During this time, a lot of things happened in Liu Zongsheng's heart or in the entire 632 Highlands area.

Gunshots suddenly rang out on the northwest side of the 634 Heights, and Liu Zongsheng immediately realized what a big mistake he had made! He shouldn't have sent 9 Company to occupy that high ground! The military quality of the 9th Company was too poor, he understood it before the war! Because the 7th and 8th companies developed too smoothly on the 632nd and 633rd heights, he also rashly decided that there were no Soviet troops on the 634 heights, and sent the 9th companies, which could not fight, to there! Now it was clear to him - not only because of the gunfire that rang out on the 634 heights, but also because of the feeling that the 9th Lian Lian suddenly gave him when he moved along the depressions and gullies on the west side of the 632 and 633 heights to the 634 heights like a sharp sword plunged into the depth of the Soviet defenses - there were Soviet troops on the 634 heights, and there should be no Soviet troops!

But at this point there was nothing he could do about what was happening. He saw through the binoculars that the 9th Company, which had been suddenly sniped, was retreating in panic, and the Soviet army's Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun on Dabi Peak also turned its muzzle, no longer hitting the leg of the 631 Heights where he was located, but going to hit that team. A thought flashed in Liu Zongsheng's mind: call the 9th Company to withdraw through the walkie-talkie, and send the 8th Company, which had already ascended the 633rd Height, south to the 634th Height. Looking at the 9th Company again, he found that they did not break up under the blows of the Soviet army, but quickly moved into the ridge valley between the 632 and 633 heights, and had the intention of going around to the east side of the 633 heights to attack the 634 heights, which made him feel that their thinking was right, and Cheng Yukun and Liang Tenghui were not as bad as he had thought before. Immediately, he could no longer consider letting the 8th Company replace the 9th Company to capture the 634th Heights - the 8th Company went south from the main peak of the 633rd Heights to the 634th Heights, and the time he gave the order to the time it turned into combat operations would not be earlier than the 9th Company's arrival at the 634th Heights. He had already seen from the big mountain gap on the east side of Dabi Peak that the Soviet reinforcements were rushing towards the 634 heights, and he had no other choice than to let the 9th Company quickly capture the 634 heights!

He thought he was still calm, but in fact his heart was already in turmoil, and the sense of crisis that was vaguely born of the development of the battle added anxiety and deep uneasiness to his life consciousness. In this state of mind, he issued an order to Cheng Yukun to quickly attack the 634 Heights from the east side of the 633 Heights, and did not realize that the absence of Soviet troops on the 632 and 633 Heights still played a role in his decision just now, and the gunfire on the 634 Heights, which is not very dense at present, and the Soviet troops reinforced by the legs of the Dabifeng Mountain also helped him make this decision invisibly. The sound of gunfire on the high ground led him to judge that the Soviets there might be only two squads or a platoon at the moment; The reason why the Soviet troops in the direction of Xilian Mountain were in a hurry to reinforce and a large group of men and horses came was probably related to the situation above - the 9th Company should be able to control the high ground before the reinforcements of the Soviet troops!

It soon dawned on him that this was the second mistake he had made today! Ten minutes later, he heard the fierce gunfire of the wind from the direction of 634 Heights and Vulture Ridge, and he could distinguish the howl of a heavy machine gun from the gunfire of 634 Heights! The enemy in the 634 heights actually had a heavy machine gun, that is, they were not two squads or a platoon, but a whole company!

Immediately, Li Mingli, the commander of the 8th Company on the main peak of the 633 Heights, also reported to him through a walkie-talkie: The 9th Company had fallen into the encirclement and flanking of the enemy from the high ground and the East 2nd and 3rd East Highlands on the northeast side of the 634 Heights!

Liu Zongsheng felt that the thin thread that had been tied to his heart before dawn had been pulled by someone again, and his left chest immediately hit a sharp pain like tearing. The sense of crisis that had vaguely appeared in the bottom of my heart had turned into a real crisis: the reinforcements from the direction of Xilian Mountain went down the leg of Dabifeng to the opposite side of the gully on the northwest side of the 634 Heights, and began to attack the high ground under the cover of fire. It's just that for some reason, their onslaught was hindered, and they didn't immediately cross the gully to the heights!

A gut feeling that the whole battalion was going to suffer a major defeat in the 632 Heights area today came to him: in just 20 minutes he had made two mistakes in a row; To attack a pre-fortified high ground defended by a company of Soviet troops with a company hastily formed before the war, which lacked combat experience and was not very well established, and was under fire from the east, south, and west; Now add the attack of a group of Soviet troops in the direction of Xilian Mountain - in Liu Zongsheng's imagination, the latter's threat to the 9th Company at this moment is even greater than that of the Soviet troops on the high ground, once they rush through the gully and ascend to the high ground, they will immediately form an annihilation blow to the 9th Company on the northeast side of the high ground from the flank - the fate of the 9th Company under the 634 Heights today is conceivable, and it is not impossible to be completely destroyed!

This time, what he asked the 8th Company to do, he was delayed. It was not that the commander of the 8th Company did not carry out his order, the order was executed by Dawn Reason, but another of his orders were executed before this order was executed. The previous order was for them to go south to reinforce the 9th Company, and since the top of the mountain that extended to the south of the main peak of the 633rd Heights was a cliff, Li Mingli decided to go east from the main peak first, and approach the 634 Heights along the leg of the southeast side of the highlands. They descended to the waist of the eastern slope of the high ground at a very fast speed, but received an order from the deputy regiment commander to go to the southwest of the main peak to reinforce the 9th Company. Li Mingli thought that the previous order of the deputy regiment commander had been canceled, and did not dare to slack off, so he led his troops again from the eastern slope of the 633 Heights over the ridgeline to the southwest slope. The consequence of such a toss was that the team of the 8th Company moved back and forth on the 633 Heights for half an hour in vain for the two orders of the deputy commander. Before they finally turned the second order of the deputy regiment commander into combat operations, from the valley between the East 1, East 2, and East 3 heights in the direction of Vulture Ridge, the Soviet infantry brigades emerged respectively. Under the cover of heavy machine-gun fire from the above three highlands, these newly emerged Soviet troops began to cross the Great Mountain Gorge between the Kibiv Mountain area and the Vulture Ridge area, and swooped down on the 630 Heights and 632 and 633 Heights at the easternmost point of the No. 1 Ridge from east to west, respectively.

Almost at the same time that the Soviet troops emerged from the direction of Vulture Ridge, Liu Zongsheng received a report from the 7th Company of the 632nd Heights, the deputy battalion commander, Chu Maolin. Subsequently, Li Mingli, the commander of the 8th Company, who had just returned to the ridge line from the eastern slope of the 633 Heights, also reported to him his newly discovered enemy situation. Li Mingli also reported that a heavy machine gun of the Soviet army appeared on the north side of the East Three Heights, and blocked the ridge valley between the 632 and 633 heights with ferocious firepower, apparently with the aim of separating the two heights occupied by the Chinese army and attacking them one by one. Li Mingli asked Deputy Regiment Commander Liu: Do they still go to reinforce the sniper line of the 9th Company at the foot of the northwest side of the 634 Heights?

Liu Zongsheng didn't answer Li Mingli's words immediately, and Xiao Qiang and Cui Shi'an, who had been standing beside him, noticed that the deputy head of the regiment was slowly but impulsively flushing with a layer of bright red blood. Liu Zongsheng's gaze shifted from the 634 heights to the 632 and 633 heights. Across the two heights, he heard the dense gunfire coming from the direction of Vulture Ridge, and immediately realized that the battlefield situation in the entire 632 Highlands area had changed significantly with the new enemy situation in the east. A few minutes ago, he was only concerned about the fate of a company, but now he couldn't help but worry about the fate of the whole battalion. Judging from the movements of the Soviet troops, today they will not only eat the 9th company under the 634 heights, but also recapture the entire 632 heights area through large-scale combat operations, and may even carry out a general counterattack on the entire Kibiv Mountain area, including the No. 1 Ridge. In the former case, their battalion would soon encounter an extremely hard battle in the 632 Heights area; If the latter judgment is true, they will be attacked by the Soviets because of the position they are in front of the first ridge - in either case, the situation of this battalion here today has become extremely dangerous!

From the mountains to the north of the No. 1 Ridge, the Chinese artillery group also began firing, targeting the Soviet artillery group in the area of Xilian Mountain and Vulture Ridge. Obviously, Peng Tao knew about the situation in the eastern section of No. 1 Ridge and the entire 632 Heights area, and called for artillery fire before him. But this incident did not alleviate the pressure that the change in the tide of battle had formed in his heart. Liu Zongsheng walked a few steps along the fissure at his feet to the east side of the mountain, raised the telescope again, and went to look at the 634 heights. Just as he had just made up his new mind, he had already thought of it: the 8th Company had a new mission, and it was impossible for them to reinforce the 9th Company, and after that, the 9th Company could only rely on its own strength on the 634 Heights!
