In the narrow and dim tunnel, the soldiers held 50 Chong, squatted on the ground in the tunnel, listening to what Squad Leader Hu said, and their inner will to fight was even stronger!

Squad Leader Hu looked at them and said: "Tonight, at ten o'clock, we launched a small-scale surprise attack on the nameless heights on the south side, our platoon as the combat unit of this operation, this battle is also the first battle of our company to take the initiative this month, and it is the first time that our platoon has served as the main force to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, let's not only fight well, fight beautifully, fight tenaciously, but also play our momentum!" Let everyone see, our second platoon also has a tenacious will to fight! ”

"We must learn from the 'heroic spirit', carry forward the 'heroic spirit', and take the heroes as an example! If you don't write the list of heroes, you will paint the martyr's monument! Don't waste your bags, strive to be a hero! ”

The soldiers shouted with high morale: "Strive to be heroes!" ”

In the narrow and dim tunnel, a kerosene lamp emitted a faint light, reflecting the faces of the soldiers brightly, squad leader Hu looked at the eager and warlike faces of the soldiers, and continued: "Comrades, behind us is our country, the direction of home, fighting foreign devils is to defend our hometown, our homeland, behind us, thousands of compatriots are looking at us, they will not forget us, because we are great heroes!" If you make meritorious service, the whole family will be glorious! ”

"Is it hard to dig a tunnel? It's hard, but we're not overcoming! Remember the hero's oath! ”

Squad Leader Hu said, "I don't believe there is..."

The fighters shouted: "I don't believe there is a mission that cannot be completed!" I don't believe there are difficulties that can't be overcome! I don't believe there is an enemy that can't be defeated! ”

Squad leader Hu said: "In the difficult difficulties, we have to overcome!" What we can't do, we have to accomplish! No matter how powerful the enemy, we will defeat them! ”

"Digging the tunnel will continue, this is the task of our second platoon, the deputy squad leader organizes everyone, the tunnel is dug well, the credit is indispensable, the second the tunnel is dug, the foreign devils screamed, we want to turn Shangganling into a copper wall, let the enemy's artillery fire fall on our heads, and we can't hurt us at all."

"Comrade Xia Yuan stays, and the others return to their respective positions."

"Yes!"

The mobilization of each platoon and each squad was very smooth, and the four soldiers who had newly joined the company were also called by the squad leader of their squad for simple ideological counseling; the soldiers were afraid of battle, afraid of fighting, and in response to such a cowardly mentality, each company and platoon did not criticize or scold, and took the feelings between the soldiers as a link to stimulate the fighters' inner will to fight.

Team Leader Hu looked at Xia Yuan's young face and said, "How old is this year?" ”

Xia Yuan replied seriously: "24." ”

Hu squad leader Lehe: "You're young, you're so old, are you looking for your mother-in-law?" ”

Xia Yuan shook his head: "No." ”

Squad Leader Hu said: "It's so old, it's time to find a mother-in-law, and when the war is over, the squad leader will end one for you." ”

"Hey."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"Can you smoke?" Squad Leader Hu took out the cigarette from his pocket, rolled it up with a piece of paper and lit it and asked.

Xia Yuan shook and nodded: "It will be a little." ”

Squad leader Hu is an old cigarette gun, smoking a cigarette, he took out a crumpled cigarette case from the pocket in his arms, opened the cigarette box, there was only one cigarette left in it, and handed it to Xia Yuan: "Try it, this is the cigarette from the foreign devil's side, Lao Li has been looking for me for a long time, and I haven't given it to him." ”

Lao Li is the deputy squad leader and is responsible for the internal affairs of the first squad of soldiers.

Xia Yuan squatted on the ground, put his hands on his knees, took the cigarette handed over by squad leader Hu, took his cigarette, took a breath, couldn't help coughing, and took a puff unbelievingly, only to feel a little smoother.

Looking at Xia Yuan's awkward smoking posture, squad leader Hu smiled, smoking a cigarette, the smile on his face narrowed a little, he said: "Tonight, let's platoon the main force, our first squad is an assault squad, it must be at the forefront, you follow Lao Li, when you rush, listen to the bullets above your head, the sound of bullets swishing, rush if the sound is small, and hide when the voice is loud." ”

Xia Yuan listened, nodded, and didn't refute, his identity is a recruit, can he say that he has fought the Xinxingli Annihilation War, and can he still blow up the Watergate Bridge?

The world is not a world.

"I'll take a look at the gun." Squad Leader Hu said again.

Xia Yuan took off his gun and handed it to squad leader Hu.

"The Type 50 submachine gun, if it's jammed, it's turned over and patted like this."

Squad Leader Hu pointed the direction of the magazine upwards, held a cigarette, gently patted the gun with his hand, and said to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan nodded: "Squad leader, I know." ”

Squad Leader Hu asked again: "How many magazines are on your body?" ”

Xia Yuan replied: "Three magazines." ”

Squad Leader Hu nodded: "Three magazines are enough, wipe the gun when it's okay." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, thought about it and asked, "Squad leader, if I seize the gun of the foreign devil, can I apply for a replacement of the gun." ”

Squad Leader Hu smoked a cigarette and asked, "Do you want to change the gun?" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, and squad leader Hu said again: "You can apply to your superiors." ”

Xia Yuan thought about it, after the Battle of Shangganling really started, in fact, it didn't matter if you applied or not, in the middle and late stages of the Battle of Shangganling, the guns were all broken, and the stamina supply could not be replenished, so the soldiers could only touch it from the enemy.

Xia Yuan dug two pits at the end of the two tunnels, the rock layer of one of the pits has been chiseled by him, and the rock layer of the other pit has not moved, and the rock layer of one pit has consumed a lot of time and energy, and he has no time to dig other pits again.

The soldiers of the Ninth Company also dug tunnels day and night, and on the basis of the original two tunnels, the two tunnels were penetrated to form a 'U' shaped tunnel, and extended to the No. 1 position to dig a 'Y' shaped tunnel.

Originally, there was only one pit opening, and there were two internal pit openings, and with the efforts of the soldiers, two pit openings were dug in the anticline plane, one of which was covered with branches and sand, and the other was generously open.

Extends in the direction of Position 1 and is connected to a bomb crater on Position 1.

Xia Yuan admired the hands-on ability of the soldiers very much, some of the soldiers' hands were worn out, simply dealt with it, and continued to devote themselves to the excavation work, digging in two rows during the day, digging in three rows and four rows at night, night and day, the No. 1 pit is currently the largest pit in all the pits at present.

At Xia Yuan's suggestion, the entrance to the cave was also modified, and there was a cover inside the mouth of the tunnel, and if the enemy wanted to enter the tunnel, the soldiers could hide in the bunker in the tunnel and shoot at the enemy.

The difficulty of digging the tunnel is very great, and with the efforts of the fighters, it can still be overcome, just like the three heroes do not believe.

I don't believe there are difficulties that can't be overcome.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky had become darker, and the soldiers of the second platoon had already begun to prepare weapons and ammunition in the tunnel, and squad leader Hu came to Xia Yuan's side and handed him a finished straw hat: "Put this on your head, and when you set off in a while, you will follow Lao Li." ”

As he spoke, he shouted, "Lao Li, Lao Li." ”

The deputy squad leader ran over, "Old Hu, what's wrong." ”

Lao Hu pulled Xia Yuan and said: "The new comrade of our class, the battle has started, you take him with you and teach him how to survive on the battlefield." ”

The deputy squad leader sighed and said, "This is simple, Comrade Xia Yuan, when you set off later, you can just follow me." ”

At four o'clock, the sky gradually darkened.

Under the shouts of Platoon Commander Sun, the soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition and prepared to go.

The nameless heights are located in the southeast of Shangganling, and after reconnaissance by the scouts, it was determined that there was only one company of the South Korean Army garrison on this nameless heights, and the nameless heights were not high, only more than 200 meters, and the enemy had two machine-gun pillboxes on this hill, and if they mainly broke through the enemy's machine-gun pillboxes, they could completely annihilate them on the nameless heights.

Taking advantage of the dark sky, the second platoon set off, and it was the first platoon responsible for covering, as well as the volunteer soldiers on the 537.7 heights, this nameless highland was sandwiched between the 597.9 heights and the 537.7 heights, which was equivalent to a nail inserted in the forward position of the volunteers.

When the team was marching, there was little chatting, and Lao Li didn't speak, but looked back at Xia Yuan from time to time, and after making sure that he was following him, he turned his head and continued to hurry, the soldiers marched very fast, quickly interspersed between the mountains.

After more than half an hour of hurrying, the volunteer soldiers bent down close to the anticline near the nameless height, and under the dark sky, they could see the swaying figure of the enemy on the high ground in the distance, and they were not fully aware of the arrival of the volunteers.

Platoon Commander Sun used binoculars to observe the enemy's situation on the high ground, determined that the enemy was in two machine-gun bunkers facing north, and said in a low voice: "When the attack starts at ten o'clock in the evening, we must first pull out the enemy's firepower points. ”

He observed the barbed wire and mines laid by the enemy at the foot of the mountain, the attack plan had been set up for a long time, and every night the demining fighters would touch here to clear the mines on the ground, and last night, the mines near the unnamed high ground had been basically cleared.

Platoon Commander Sun was observing, Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and eagle eye was also observing, he had a full view of the enemy's every move on the high ground, he could see clearly the grass and trees on the ground and even a stone, and he could even clearly observe the traces of human activity on the ground.

"The mines in this area have been cleared, and it seems that the plan to attack the unnamed heights has been made for a long time."

Xia Yuan grabbed the submachine gun in his hand.

The accuracy of the Type 50 submachine gun is not very high, it can't be used as a sniper, he has a master of firearms, such a submachine gun is also handy to use, in comparison, Xia Yuan still likes the big eight, pull the trigger, and remotely snipe the enemy's walkie-talkie operator, commander, and the enemy's sniper and recoilless gun boss, which can effectively hit the enemy.

When the Battle of Shangganling broke out, the U.S. Army would definitely send snipers to Shangganling.

After receiving the combat mission, squad leader Hu hurried back and called the soldiers over for a meeting, he said: "This time our task is the enemy's two machine gun bunkers, the task is arduous, we must blow up the enemy's machine gun bunkers within two hours, clear the way for the follow-up troops to attack." ”

He looked at Xia Yuan with some unease, and said, "It won't be too simple to blow up the enemy's machine-gun bunker, you will go last." ”

Xia Yuan stared at squad leader Hu's eyes and said firmly: "Squad leader, I want to be the first to go." ”

Before squad leader Hu could say anything, Lao Li said: "No, you are a new comrade with no combat experience, and you are not familiar with avoiding bullets. ”

He added: "Lao Hu, this is the arrangement, let the first team be responsible for bombing the bunker, and the other teams will be responsible for covering." ”

Squad Leader Hu said to Xia Yuan: "Obey the order!" ”

Xia Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing, he remembered that during the Battle of Changjin Lake, no matter what time it was, the recruits were always the ones who were taken care of by the veterans. He secretly decided in his heart that this nameless highland battle must make everyone change their opinion of him.

The soldiers took each squad as a unit, and when the time was quietly approaching ten o'clock, squad leader Hu said in a low voice: "Let's go!" ”

Xia Yuan was about to get on the first step, but he was dragged by Lao Li, Lao Li just looked at him: "Follow me!" ”

Xia Yuan nodded, and after Lao Li rushed out of the bunker, he stepped on Lao Li's steps and followed him closely.

Squad Leader Hu led two combat groups through the enemy's minefield and quickly came to the barbed wire, one group raised their guns to cover, the other group quickly cut the barbed wire, and used two split logs to jack up the cut barbed wire, and the men of each combat group crawled through the barbed wire in turn.

Lao Li covered Xia Yuan to drill in, he followed the drill, rear, Sun Platoon Commander used a telescope to observe the enemy's highland situation from time to time, the night was a full moon night, the bright moonlight sprinkled a miserable white on the ground, only part of the dim lights on the enemy's high ground were on, and the enemy was not found, it is very likely that he had gone to sleep during this time period.

But near the enemy's machine-gun bunker, the enemy's guard posts could also be seen, and he scolded: "When I came to observe the night before, there were not so many enemy guard posts, why are there more enemy guard posts tonight!?" ”

The deputy platoon commander was also observing with a telescope, he put down the telescope and looked up at the moon in the sky: "The enemy has basically figured out the law of our army's actions and knows that we like to fight on a full moon night. ”

On the night of the full moon, the moonlight is bright and the visibility is relatively high, which is the best time for our army to carry out night operations.

Platoon Commander Sun said: "Fortunately, the assault of the first squad went well. ”

The assault of the first squad went very smoothly and passed through the barbed wire without hindrance

After crossing the barbed wire, they came to the foot of the mountain, and on the hillside, they could see the enemy's machine gun bunker, built on the mountain, very hidden, and it was very difficult to blast, and it was difficult to completely destroy it with ordinary explosive packs, so it was necessary to use blasting canisters to stuff them into the mouth of the pillbox to completely destroy them.

This is also the reason why many fighters blow up pillboxes with blasting canisters.

There have been cases where bunkers have been blown up with explosives packets, but they have not been blown up.

Squad Leader Hu gestured to the people of the first group to get ready, and the three demolition fighters of the first group squatted on the ground with their eyes firmly in their hands, staring at the enemy's machine-gun bunker.

The enemy's machine gun bunker and nearby are guarded by sentry posts, Xia Yuan relied on his powerful night vision and eagle vision, and on the way over, he had already felt the enemy's deployment situation clearly, and on such a hill, the enemy set up as many as six sentry posts.
