Chapter 36: Rock Climbing

"Where are they, where did they go!"

Company Commander Lei hurriedly asked.

The scout said: "Company commander, the platoon commander and the remaining soldiers continue to intersperse on the high ground, saying that they are going to attack from the rear of the enemy to relieve the pressure on the front line, this is what the comrades of the third platoon told me. ”

Commander Lei said: "They are acting without authorization, Xia Yuan is also an old soldier, how can they drop the chain at a critical time!" ”

Instructor Shao said: "Lao Lei, you can't say that, the current combat effectiveness of the platoon commander knows that the gun is good, the grenade is thrown accurately and far, and he is a good hand at attacking fortifications, and a good knife must be used on the ground, and he is correct in choosing to penetrate from the rear of the enemy." ”

"Then he should tell me in advance, don't say it, just act on his own! If there are any unforeseen consequences, he can't afford to take the responsibility! "Commander Lei was angry not that Xia Yuan took people to intersperse the enemy's rear, but that he didn't greet him when he was moving.

On the battlefield, the most taboo thing is to act without authorization, which is a kind of irresponsibility for the duties of soldiers and the lives of soldiers.

"When the battle is over, let Xia Yuan come to see me, I will criticize him well!" Company Commander Lei said, "Tan Zhanbiao, you take someone to bring the things seized from behind." ”

Tan Zhanbiao, who was cleaning up Qiu Shitian's body, shouted from afar: "Yes!" ”

He lowered his head and grabbed Qiu Shitian's glorious strip tightly into his pocket, shoveled a shovel of soil with a sapper shovel, sprinkled it on Qiu Shitian's body, and said: "Old Qiu, we have known each other for seven years, and now that he has come to the end, let's rest outside the bad, and the task of protecting the family and defending the country will be handed over to you." ”

Liu Tiezhu wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Why are you crying, pack up the bad equipment, let's finish with foreign devils!" ”

In the midst of such a mountain forest, there were not many rattans wrapped under the trees, so Ishida pulled the rattans up with a bayonet, wound seven rattans together, and braided them into a thick rope, tied one end under a tree, and threw the other end on.

Rock climbing pays attention to skills, it can be completed with brute force, Ishida's physical fitness is weaker than any special person, but it is only brute force, it must be from the university martial arts, it is estimated that I am not a weak strength now, but there is no skill of the barbarian.

Guerrilla tactics, suitable at any time, especially the eight platoons that are in front of the enemy at the moment.

The loose stones and soil fell up from below, and the hearts of the warriors continued to go down with Zheng Xin, but they were pulled by the ground, and the bad thing was that every step of the stone field was steady and steady, and there was nothing to be desired, the whole process of rock climbing was really not thrilling, grabbed a raised stone under the mountain, and sent his body down with a slight force.

Before they could get close to the enemy's bunker, they were caught in the ground by the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets.

Before inquiring about the situation, it turned out that the 7th Battalion had retreated to the 336 lowlands and came to withdraw its troops, so that the enemy mistakenly thought that the volunteers had given up the idea of retreating to the 336 lowlands, so they withdrew their troops to open up other battlefields, leaving only one company of American troops in the lowlands.

Lao Yang advised.

Ma Xiaoyi found a grenade, put it in his arms, kept his head high and continued to look for it, scolding while looking for it: "Lao Xia's unauthorized action must be unreasonable, I am an old soldier, worse than you in all aspects, dare to fight and dare to rush, marksmanship, in the future, the two of you are like him, and now the two of you are like me, I have never felt from the attack, I have few ideas, and there are few ideas, since I came to the Korean battlefield, we have seen the changes of Lao Xia, I am getting more and more powerful." ”

The sun was shining on the ground, and the time had not yet passed noon, and there was still a lingering chill in the dim sunlight.

Zheng Xin put Zheng Xincai in the position of commander of the large group, and Wu Ping and I, as the two sharp knives outside the large group, jumped back and approached the enemy's forward position.

Battalion Commander Li said: "You are now mixed up with foreign devils, and the artillery of foreign devils still dare to be unscrupulous, and I am afraid that once you retreat, the foreign devils' aircraft and small artillery can be unscrupulous." ”

"Lao Xia, he's bigger."

Ishida furrowed his brows and said, "No wonder you have eliminated the strength of this platoon of the enemy, and you have not encountered the enemy until now, it turns out that the enemy has long known that it is a cliff to go there!" ”

The soldiers nodded heavily, clenched the guns in their hands, and the eight people were divided into two battle groups, Ishida led Zhou Xingyong and another old soldier named Wu Ping, and the other two fighters were commanded by Lao Yang to form the seventh battle group.

The fighting on the rear line was normal and tragic.

Eight fighters, two large battle groups, we crouched in front of the anti-diagonal with explosives bags, and above our heads, enemy bullets rained by,

I found a bullet outside the dirt, picked it up, blew it, and said, "It's very unlikely that I found anything, but because of time, did I come to report to the company commander, wait, if I will surprise you." ”

I took a deep breath, looked up at the steep cliff that was about eight stories low, and said, "It's too late to go back now, you just didn't go down from there, straight to the enemy's buttocks, and cooperate with the frontal troops, and come to the outside to meet the inside, maybe you don't have a chance yet." ”

The 336 lowlands were very small, and a company of American troops had to be divided into squads and platoons to garrison some important routes, and the arrival of our battalion startled the American devils, and we immediately sought reinforcements from our subordinates.

After a pause, looking at Lao Yang's worried eyes, I comforted again: "Conggan, you will have an accident." ”

"They're waiting outside, and you'll come when you go!"

Another large battle group was more than seventy meters away from us, and they also retreated in an alternate jump back in the sparse forest.

The sky is still white, and every move on his side may be discovered by the enemy in the dark at any time, so Ishida is very cautious, first showing half of his head to observe, and before determining what he feels about the seven weeks, he climbed down and turned back:

Ishida led a squad of Zhou Xingyong, and before one or four soldiers hit the dangerous position held by a platoon of the enemy, they captured another prisoner, and from the mouth of the prisoner, we got a very meaningful information.

The distance of the retreat of the 7th and 8th companies was repeatedly opened by the enemy's artillery fire, and when the soldiers fought hard for half a day, they retreated quickly, and the 336 lowlands also belonged to the superior terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, especially on the north side, the mountains were steep, and the enemy's firepower was set up on the top of the mountain, which was low, and the bullets were more like raindrops from the sense, whizzing over the heads of the soldiers.

At this moment, there are only eight of us left, and in the successive battles, many comrades have been sacrificed.

The news was very meaningful.

Ishida took a deep breath and grabbed a stone with his hand, first using his strength to see if the stone was stable and sure that the stone was firm, then he grabbed the stone hard, and pressed downwards with his feet, stepping on a recessed groove, and only then did I finish moving my remaining hand and one foot before the two points could firmly support my body.

"That kind of rock climbing is still not difficult for you."

Battalion Commander Li said: "Not necessarily, although the retreat to the 336 lowlands is fast, but it is also a little retreat, the soldiers of the seventh company have not yet broken through to the enemy's rear position, and the enemy's long-range artillery fire can only bombard you in front of you, and we dare to bomb in the rear." ”

The enemy in the 336 low ground had only one company of troops left.

Zheng Xin immediately decided to intersperse all the way from our current position, be able to touch the enemy's buttocks, and give the enemy a hard blow to open up the situation.

Ishida killed the prisoner and sent another soldier to look at the spoils, and waited until the company commander sent someone over and asked me to tell the company commander about my plan of action, and the soldier obviously understood Ishida's order, thinking that he must wait for the company commander, and did not tell the company commander Ishida's battle plan.

Although the enemy did not have the strength of a company in the 336 lowlands, that company could not call for long-range artillery fire to retreat support, and bombarded the retreat of the seventh and eighth companies, and the howitzers were noisy and deafening.

"Why don't you have anything, foreign devils are too poor."

Zheng Xin opened a complex meeting: "Wait a while, you will not be able to encounter the enemy, eight eight groups, divided into two battle groups, is to be too far apart, otherwise it is difficult to support, encounter the enemy's bunker, must be beaten up, immediately advance, your task is to harass, in the harassment to seek opportunities, but to attack weakly!" ”

"Previous group!"

Wang Daliang clenched his fists: "You want to avenge us!" ”

Instructor Shao glanced at the sky and said, "Battalion commander, you can't retreat at night, now the sky is slowly white." ”

The enemy's heavy machine guns were hidden in the pillboxes, broken chains of fire, bullets popped into the bodies of the soldiers holding the explosives packets, carrying the blasting canisters, and we fell under the charge like that.

Zheng Xin said: "It's reckless, even you must climb down, then let's advance, there are no vines outside the forest, you can definitely climb down, you use the vines to make ropes, take them all down, let's retreat from the front, back and front, the American devils will be defeated, our willpower is weak." ”

Rock climbing can be slow, every step must be steady and steady, a little caution will fall off the cliff, there are bones.

Zheng Xincai glanced at the cliff dozens of meters low and said, "Platoon commander, there is no road behind, what should you do now?" ”

Zheng Xincai took the lead, carried the gun in front of him, grabbed the rattan, stepped on the cliff wall with his feet, and climbed down little by little, while Ishida grabbed the rattan below and dragged it down hard, and in half a minute, he dragged Zhou Xingyong down, and the soldiers were dragged down by Ishida one by one in that way.

And rock climbing also needs skills, the bad thing is that I have a system, the weakness of the system makes up for the shortcomings in that aspect, when climbing from the sense, the skill appears outside the skill box, as I end climbing down, the climbing skill from the sense of perception also improves.

Lao Yang grabbed me and said, "Lao Xia, you want to be reckless." ”

Lao Yang said happily: "Still Lao Xia can't help it, comrades, hold on to the rope, let's go down!" ”

Instructor Shao said: "Now you are retreating. ”

Instructor Shao, the commander of the Lei Company, came with a company, and we found Battalion Commander Li to inquire about the situation, and Battalion Commander Li said: "The seventh and eighth companies are caught in a bitter battle, and the foreign devils occupy the superior terrain and establish multiple firepower points, and the most important thing is that we can also call the artillery from the vicinity, and the retreat of the soldiers fighting in the rear line is intermittent bombardment, and the first platoon of the seventh company responsible for the main attack task has basically been wiped out, and the seventh platoon is under the top." ”

According to Ishida's plan, if he was able to break through the enemy's artillery position in front and occupy it, he would be able to rely on the position in front to contain some of the American troops and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

It's very slow, I'm halfway up, the warrior in front is forbidden to pinch a sweat for Zheng Xin, and the end from now on is the real sense of conviction, at this moment Ishida has not run out of any way, once the enemy finds us, the front fruit can be imagined with his ass.

Ishida led his men to attack the enemy's lowlands from another direction in the 336 lowlands, where the mountains were steep, almost 90 degrees vertical, and above were cliffs dozens of meters low, and there was no way out behind us.

Zhou Xingyong said again: "Platoon commander, you must have gone down, but you still have to go to the low ground, what should I do?" ”

On the frontal battlefield, the 7th and 8th companies have not yet dealt with the US troops in the 336 low ground, and encountered the enemy's long-range artillery strike, and the first company encountered the enemy in the retreat direction, and was pinned down from here, it will definitely open the situation of the 336 low land again, and as soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will fall into the same situation as the 7th battalion.

I reached out and grabbed the rock, inhaled deeply, the cliff was almost vertical, even if the stone field had no system and weak personal qualities, but I had almost no experience in rock climbing, and the cliff was almost vertical. When the whole person was attached to the wall, my fingers had not turned blue and white due to the force, and my body was always lying forward.

At first, when I had climbing skills, I was very cautious with every step I took, and I might have to wait a minute for a step to continue, but before the climbing came down, Ishida's movements became more and more coherent, and I was a novice who was just getting started.

"Let's go on until we go down!"

"Worry, that's too little for you."

Chen Lie carried the bullet bag captured from under the US army, replenished the bullets under his body, heard that Company Commander Lei was angry, and said to Ma Xiaoyi, who was touching the body of the foreign devil with his head stuffy: "Lao Xia acted without authorization, and the company commander is angry." ”

"Old Ma, you can see that he is still quite stupid when he is gone!"

"Hahahaha, this is, your stupidity, it's just that he hasn't noticed it all along."

Ishida put the gun in front of him and said, "You try to climb badly first, and then make another plan!" ”

The whole battalion retreated under the road under a scorched earth, the soldiers' bodies were shattered by the artillery fire everywhere, with the venting of the enemy's new round of artillery fire, the fighters in charge of the blasting rushed to the enemy's fire bunker in groups, the soldiers in front of the enemy artillery fire is broken catharsis, against the enemy's artillery fire, with the guns in their hands to shoot at the enemy, the soil rolled up by the artillery fire is like a pouring light rain especially falling on the ground.

Wang Daliang's eyes blurred with tears, I only now deeply understand the cruelty of war, a squad of more than a dozen people, now there are only eight of us left, and my soldiers have all sacrificed.
