Chapter 103 Borrowing a knife to kill
Chapter 103: Killing someone with a knife
The gunshots continued, and the 354th Regiment's first charge temporarily failed, but the battle between the two high grounds in the east and north continued. The flares illuminated the surroundings of Dipingli. The cannons passed by for a while, and the gunshots rang out without interruption. I think the other two sides were fighting very fiercely.
The wounded were carried down one after another, and soon there was a fishy smell everywhere, and there was a mess everywhere. The health workers were running back and forth among the wounded soldiers. Although they were all very responsible, everyone knew that it was futile. There was no medicine or medical equipment, which made the soldiers face life-threatening even if they suffered some minor injuries.
What surprised me was that there was almost no one who choked here. Even if he had broken his legs and his hands, he could not bear the pain, but he just hummed a few times. Many seriously injured people didn't shout even if they were in pain. When the sanitary staff pushed over and pushed a few times, they realized that he had left quietly.
I sat on the ground, took off my hat and wiped the tears that gushed out. They had already formed small ice cubes on my face. Sometimes I really can't understand them. Are they competing? Are they afraid that people would say they are cowards? But at this point, what are they competing for? Why do they still have to hold on like this?
"Captain Cui!" At this time, Hu Zi ran to me and patted my shoulder, and said calmly: "Let's go! We're here!"
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, got up and ran with Hu Zi. As soon as I turned out of the valley, I found that the soldiers were all lying on the snow in front of me and preparing for charge, even Captain Chu was there.
"Group, leader..." I climbed to Captain Chu in a few seconds and shouted: "Group Commander, do you still have to fight like this?"
"Ball!" Captain Chu's face turned pale and looked very angry: "If you are afraid, get out of here!"
"Captain!" I quickly dissuaded: "This battle cannot be fought like this! Isn't this using our soldiers' lives to block bullets?"
"I have been fighting for decades, and I still need you to teach me how to fight?" Captain Chu glared at me: "You are capable! You are capable? You are capable? There are no planes or cannons. How do you think you should fight this battle?"
"Fly, plane..." I was stunned when Captain Chu said this, and quickly said, "Regiment, Captain... I have a plane!"
"You're the ball! You kid..." Captain Chu was about to scold me, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw my serious look. After pausing for a moment, he suddenly grabbed my hand and said in a trembling voice: "Tell me, what's the solution?"
"Captain!" I swallowed and said, "Give me half an hour, don't charge, is that okay?"
"Achieve!" Captain Chu gritted his teeth and held me tightly with his hands: "I just believe you this time. If you really can do it, it will save our group!"
"Yes!" I quickly responded, paused and continued, "Captain, I need a radio station and a password book..."
"In the regiment headquarters, the political commissar and the radio station soldiers watched, and even if they were used, they would say it was my order."
"I understand!" I responded and crawled backwards, and whispered as I passed by Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, signal board, hurry up!" As I said that, I ran towards the regiment headquarters without looking back.
"Captain Cui, Captain Cui!" After a while, Hu Zi brought a few soldiers to follow him: "This is going to start fighting, and I'm asking the Americans to send equipment. What's the use?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Signal board?" I realized that they did not bring the signal board, but I quickly understood who would charge with that burden.
Sure enough, Hu Zi quickly replied: "I asked my comrades to hide it, I'll go and pick it up now!"
"After taking it out, find a place to lay it on, light the fire, and then go to the regiment headquarters to wait for my order!"
"Yes!" Hu Zi responded and took the soldiers to make arrangements, while I ran to the regiment headquarters in a hurry.
"Report to the political commissar!" After arriving at the regiment headquarters, I saw the political commissar and the radio soldiers flirting with documents. One of them had never seen before seemed to be a translator. Now I couldn't help but feel guilty. He should not read the telegram I "misunderstood" by him. Otherwise, I might be killed as a spy!
"Well, what's the matter?" The political commissar was stunned when he saw it was me: "Are you going to attack? Why are you still here?"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel relieved. I thought there were too many intercepted telegrams, so they didn't care about checking it for a while.
"Political Commissar, I want to use the radio station, Captain Chu agreed!"
"Well!" Chen Ye was a little surprised at first, but when he thought that he had to use a radio station when he was about to charge, it must be an urgent matter, so he agreed without saying anything.
After taking over the radio, I took a few deep breaths to adjust my thoughts, and then asked the radio station soldiers: "Have you intercepted the enemy's telegram recently?"
"Yes!" The radio soldier and the translator answered at the same time.
"I want something important, about Tipingli." I thought for a while and continued, "Or it is in the name of Colonel Freeman of the 23rd Regiment of the US Army! I will send it out and collect it all!"
The translator sorted out the documents and quickly picked out a few and handed them over. When I saw that they were all translated into Chinese, it seemed that the translator was still very meticulous and thoughtful.
I flipped through it casually, and as expected, several of them were asked to drop ammunition by the Air Force. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and thought to myself that the strategy I was thinking about might be true.
Judging from the attack of the Volunteers just now, the garrison in Dipingli had no idea of saving ammunition at all. They tried to fire the most ammunition in the shortest time. This was the case with the French battalion in the west, and it was almost the same on the other two high grounds. In doing so, while killing the Volunteer Army soldiers, the ammunition would inevitably be greatly lost. The support they could do was that the US air force would continuously drop ammunition onto their positions.
"Battery Commander!" Not long after, Hu Zi ran in and reported: "The signal board has been laid and the fire has been lit!"
"Yeah!" I nodded, turned around and ordered the radio soldiers and the translator, "Continue to do your work, but now I will receive one translation."
"Yes!" The radio soldiers responded and started busy. It was obvious that they had not been a day or two for radio soldiers. They were very skilled in their work, and the translator's English was translated very quickly. In an instant, telegrams came to my hands like snowflakes.
At this time, a rumbling sound came from the sky. I knew that it was the enemy's plane. I couldn't help but look at the telegrams that came to my hands more nervously, but they were all requesting reinforcements, asking for reinforcements, etc. I couldn't help but sighed dejectedly and sat on the chair. These were not what I wanted. It seemed that the signal boards we laid did not attract the attention of the US pilots...
The rumbling sound in the sky became louder and louder, and I became more and more desperate. It seemed that I could only continue to fight like this. But at this moment, the translator handed over another telegram, which read: "The pilot found two airdrop locations, please confirm!"
When I saw this telegram, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and jumped up from the chair as if I was stabbed by a needle: "Hurry, send the newspaper quickly. I found that the enemy seized our signal board and waited for the air force to drop it. Our general took the signal board and asked the air force to bomb the location of the signal board immediately!"
As soon as I said this, the radio soldiers and translators were shocked and they all turned their eyes to Chen Ye. Chen Ye was stunned for a moment, and soon understood my intention, nodded in agreement and said, "Send it quickly!"
"Hu Zi!" I ordered again: "Removing the signal board immediately!"
"Yes!" Although Hu Zi still didn't understand what was going on, he didn't say much. After answering, he ran out.
"Political Commissar!" I stood up and said, "The radio station is used up, I will go to the battlefield to notify Captain Chu!"
"Yes!" Chen Ye patted my shoulder and said, "Good job! Kill a few more enemies! Don't take advantage of those bastards!"
"Yes!" I responded, grabbed the rifle, turned around and left.
"What's wrong?" Seeing me crawling over from the snow, Captain Chu couldn't help but ask in confusion: "How is the matter done?"
"This..." I didn't know how to answer, so I hesitated and said, "Wait and see!"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Waiting for the enemy's plane..." As I said that, I couldn't help but look up at the sky, but I couldn't see anything in the black hole. I could only hear a burst of rumbling sounds. I thought they were hovering in the sky, waiting for the command center's orders.
I couldn't help but pray in my heart that the enemy's command and the garrison in Tipingli should not resolve this "misunderstanding".
Dipingli didn't know the telegram I sent, so they didn't know how to withdraw the signal board, and they didn't know that they would become the target of the Air Force bombing. But if the Air Force Command sent an extra telegram to Dipingli to confirm, then my plan to kill people with a knife would be vain. Now I can only hope that the Air Force Command would not have so many things...
Finally, the sound from the plane in the sky was a little different. With the harsh screams of the fighter planes diving down, the soldiers held their heads and lowered their bodies. They were all ready to be bombed, but I was the only one who raised my head and stared at the enemy's position on the opposite side without blinking.
"Boom..." When the first bomb exploded, I couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in my heart. I clenched my fist and smashed the snow in front of me and shouted: "It's successful, they're bombing Tsuiri!"
Then, under the warriors' confusing eyes, bursts of explosions came from the enemy's positions. In the flames shining when the bomb exploded, we could clearly see the enemy's tanks, howitzers were blown into pieces and thrown into the sky. Of course, there were many enemy corpses...
Perhaps it was to kill the Volunteer Army in large quantities, or perhaps it was because they knew that the Volunteer Army did not have much artillery fire, so the garrison in Dipingli was very at ease to arrange the tanks and howitzers in a dense manner. But then again, the total area they defended was only one kilometer in total, and if they were not arranged in dense manner, they could not let go.
Such dense arrangement made the bombing in the air very effective. Only one round of bombs was thrown out, and the howitzers even detonated many shells piled up outside. But that was not the end. After a while, with the sound of strange roars of the planes, an orange-red flame rose from the enemy's position, and the Air Force dropped the incendiary bombs at them!
The US Air Force is so cruel! But I like it...
Captain Chu would not miss this good opportunity. He jumped up from the snow and waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted: "Comrades, for the Communist Party! For the New China! For the sake of the new!"
"kill……"
"Run..."
The soldiers jumped up from the snow and shouted and rushed towards the enemy's position. I picked up my rifle and followed me without giving up my wits.
There was no sound of cannons, no sound of anti-aircraft machine guns, and no flares flashing with dazzling light. The soldiers successfully rushed through the enemy's first fire blockade line.
The enemy's tanks and howitzers were basically destroyed in just over ten minutes. The French battalion stationed on the position was also stunned by the sudden bombing. It was not until the volunteers entered the minefield that they were resisted. Some French soldiers who reacted set up machine guns in front of the trenches and fired at the volunteers. For a moment, the fierce gunshots sounded again on the battlefield.
The gunners of the volunteer army quickly set up mortars and bombarded the enemy's positions. Without the suppression of enemy howitzers and anti-aircraft machine guns, it was the time when our gunners showed their power. Although we didn't have many mortars, they still played a significant role at this critical moment. A row of shells hit and immediately dumbed the firepower points.
Most of the landmines in the minefield have been detonated by the previous group of attacking soldiers. Although some are still left, there will be a few loud noises from time to time and hurt several volunteer soldiers, this will not affect the speed of the soldiers' attack. The soldiers are rushing forward like nothing is wrong, stepping on the bodies of their comrades, and stepping over the broken barbed wire...
"Dadadada..." Suddenly, the gunshots rang again, and the French army finally organized defenses, but the gunshots that were not dense were only two, three hundred people. I guess it was because of this bombing that killed and injured more than half of them.
My poor French brothers! Who made you brave and ruthless without wearing a helmet? Don’t you know that the purpose of inventing the helmet is to prevent bomb fragments?
I simply stopped attacking, jogged to a small hill and lie down, picked up the sniper rifle in my hand and fired it in a row. After two magazines hit, I killed more than a dozen enemies, including two machine gunners.
Who told them to learn how to tie a cloth strap on their heads? If you want to tie it, you can tie it with a black one! The red ones are so conspicuous at this night! It is only more than 100 meters away, and each head has a red ribbon. If you can't hit you, I'm really sorry for myself.
After a harsh little horn sound of "beep...", the volunteer soldiers threw out rows of grenades. Although the wooden grenades were not powerful, they would be farther than the oval grenades. There was only a loud bang, a piece of smoke exploded from the French position, and some even exploded directly in their trenches. The last bit of firepower of the French army was finally hoarse. The soldiers shouted and got up from the snow and rushed up again.
But to the soldiers' surprise, the trench opposite also shouted and rushed out dozens of French troops with bayonets.
These French troops are very powerful, and I couldn't help but say secretly. If the US military had encountered this situation, they would have collapsed long ago, but they still refused to give up their positions.
But the soldiers of the Volunteer Army have never been afraid of anyone, especially in this dark night, with a group of opponents with red cloth straps on their heads, and when our side has the advantage in numbers.
So the battle ended quickly without any suspense. Except for the more French troops who were humming hard on the ground, nothing seemed to change at all.
I followed the troops into the French position with my gun. The corpses of French soldiers were everywhere along the way. There were more than a dozen people in the trenches who were obediently raised their hands, their faces full of depressed and gentleness. I could no longer see the madness and arrogance of raising the gun and shouting "Camoloni!"!
The soldiers rushed into the valley with their speed so fast that I never had the chance to shoot again. I was just one step late and could only follow behind to pick up corpses and prisoners, mostly American soldiers. Later, I even found a group of military police holding hands.
There were military police and officials. I hurriedly came up to observe it, but what disappointed me was that I didn’t find anything. Just as I was about to give up, I suddenly had an idea and coughed twice. He shouted in English: "Col. Freeman! It’s a great honor to see you here..."
In the darkness, all the gendarmes cast unexpected glances at me. When I was yelling about my mistake, one of the gendarmes stood up and asked in confusion: "Who are you, how could you know me?"
I couldn't help but feel secretly happy. This time I was caught by a commander of the US legion!
"Col. Freeman!" I said with a successful smile on my face: "If you don't stand up, then I won't know you!"
Colonel Freeman was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you Chinese to be so tricky, and I've learned it today."
"I should say sorry to you!" I laughed and said, "Because I did not have your consent, I sent a telegram to the Air Force Command in your name, telling them that the enemy also had aircraft signal boards, and then... they dropped the bomb on your head..."
