Chapter 11: First Battle to Win

In the following period, I took the soldiers out and lurked several times.

Consciously cultivate them in the direction of modern snipers, such as grouping them in two groups, one is responsible for observing the other is responsible for sniping in battle. The purpose of this is to avoid soldiers observing the enemy situation on the battlefield for a long time, causing eye fatigue and affecting shooting accuracy. Especially in the coming winter, if you observe on the position for several hours, the light reflected from the snow will be enough to make your eyes so red and swollen that it cannot be opened.

In order to avoid being covered with enemy artillery fire in battle, I also asked the soldiers to divide them into several groups to lurk on the positions at different times. At least one group was sent, and at most one squad was only sent.

After the first experience, the next lurking was not as difficult as the first time. The soldiers even came up with ways to eat and drink water while lurking. They put the rice balls in a cloth bag and hung them on their left arm, tied a slip knot at the opening. When they were hungry, they just needed to use their teeth to pull the knot and eat without any hands. Drinking water was even easier. I don’t know who came up with the idea. They found a few plastic pipes for dripping from the sanitary staff to connect them to the kettle at their waists. The plastic pipes were sewn tightly on the military uniform and extended to the collar. When they were thirsty, they could drink the water in the kettle as long as their heads were slightly lowered...

The soldiers also humorously called these two gimmicks "the food comes to open their mouths" and "the water comes to open their mouths"!

I still remember that when I first heard the soldiers say this name, I couldn't help laughing. Although these two names are very similar, they easily remind people of the idiom "Clothes are stretched out, and foods are opened" and I think the reason why the soldiers took these two names is because of this idiom. I can't connect the hardships of the soldiers lurking on the position with the image of lazy man who "Clothes are stretched out, foods are opened".

Sometimes I think that the soldiers are really worthy of the title of "the cutest person". Isn't that? Under such difficult conditions, they will joke and have some fun for themselves.

"Captain Cui!" Wang Yuehan brought a glass of water and handed it to me and said, "Today, the superior is asking about the results of the battle again!"

"Well! It's Political Commissar Xie who urged me again!" I took the teacup and responded.

"Who else isn't him?" Wang Yuehan smiled and said, "I have reported to the organization several times. We need time to train, time to learn and familiarize ourselves with this new tactic, but Political Commissar Xie is just anxious to see the results! He called and asked every few days."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. During the period when I led the soldiers to lurk, my ears almost heard calluses. Commander Wang was fine. He knew that such a thing was too urgent to fight, and there would be troubles when he was anxious. Political Commissar Xie was different. He called to ask about the situation the next day. He also said, "The sharpshooters of all the divisions are on this. Why didn't there be any movement for a long time? The enemy didn't see one, but he had casualties. How did they explain to the organization and how to promote the soldiers!"

If I ask me, once the war is tied to politics and propaganda, it will be difficult to make a correct judgment. Just like in the third battle, it is not allowed to fight in military terms, but politically needs it, so I can only reluctantly force it. For example, this time, I think the reason why the Political Committee of Xie is so anxious is that he has already promoted this tactic to his superiors and other departments, and may even boast about it, but we have no achievements at all, which makes him unable to bear it in terms of face...

However, now I only see the lives and face of the soldiers, which is not worth mentioning to me!

"Where are the soldiers? Are they as anxious as Political Commissar Xie?" I was stunned when I looked at the topographic map on the table.

"I don't seem to hear what they call in the past few days!" Wang Yuehan thought for a while and replied: "When I lurked for the first few times, I was always muttering to shoot all day long. Now I should be used to it!"

"Yeah!" I nodded with satisfaction and took the soldiers for a while. I knew that they were not "climbed up" as Wang Yuehan said, but were slowly learning to endure and entering the state.

The time should be almost done now!

I originally wanted to drag the start time to snow, and it would be much safer to fire the cold gun at that time. But this year's cold air was not satisfactory. Shanshan came late, and now I'm afraid I can't wait for that time.

In fact, it is not just Political Commissar Xie who is anxious. During this period, the firepower blockade of the US military on the surface positions has become increasingly fierce, making it difficult for soldiers to get out of the tunnel during the day. Without enough log support, the speed of building the tunnel becomes very slow, and sometimes even has to stop because the tunnel may collapse.

To solve this problem, the most fundamental thing is to change the current situation where the US military can operate unscrupulously on superficial positions, change the enemy's firepower overwhelms our army during the day, and put our army in a situation where the enemy's firepower completely overwhelms and makes our army in a situation where the whole country is passively beaten.

To do this, we can only rely on the cold guns and cold cannons movement.

Although the cold gun and cold cannon movement cannot completely reverse this situation, it can greatly limit the freedom of the US military and expand the time and space for the activities of volunteer soldiers.

"Call the soldiers for a meeting!" I ordered.

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan responded, but soon said hesitantly: "Captain Cui, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to ask me to call them..."

"What?" I was stunned when I heard this, and looked at Wang Yuehan in confusion. I thought to myself that this guy was not pretending to me, right? Is he asking him to call someone and ask me for difficulties?

"Captain, I, I don't mean that..." Wang Yuehan suddenly realized that there was a grammatical problem in his words and quickly explained: "I mean, it takes a while to find the soldiers to have a meeting. Now many battles are hard to practice lurking skills. Even when they are resting, they are hiding in various corners. Especially on this night, if you want to have a meeting, you have to wait for a little longer!"

"So that's the case!" I couldn't help laughing when I heard this. Unexpectedly, those soldiers were addicted to lurking after practicing for a while.

"This is easy!" I said to Wang Yuehan: "You go around the tunnel and learn to chirp crickets while walking, two long and one short. Keep them together soon!"

"Yes!" Wang Yuehan responded, turned around and walked out of the tunnel.

Lurking to the present, a tacit understanding has been formed among the soldiers. Whenever they want to contact their comrades around them, they will use the sounds of animals instead. Over time, the sounds of these animals have different meanings due to their rhythm. I have to admit that this was not what I thought of or what I proposed, which made me marvel at the soldiers' learning ability and adaptability.

"Report!"

"Report!"

...

With the sound of reports, the soldiers appeared in my tunnel like ghosts.

Now they are already a world of difference from when they first formed this army. I still remember the chaotic scene when they first met them, and there were always some discussions during the meeting. But now, the entire tunnel is quiet and filled with an inexplicable strange atmosphere. Even Wang Yuehan, who followed behind, felt it, and was looking at the soldiers with a surprised look.

But this is understandable. If anyone tries to lie in a place all day without talking or moving, and practice like this for nearly a month, I think it will almost become like this.

Seeing that the soldiers were all here, I shifted my eyes from the topographic map on the table to the soldiers and said calmly: "Be prepared, start the action at 4 a.m. tomorrow, and shoot is allowed!"

"Yes!" The soldiers stood up, but what surprised me was that the expressions on their faces did not change much.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but say something boring. I always thought that after they heard the long-awaited news, I clenched my fists and shouted, "Okay! Finally, I'll wait for this day!"

"Let American imperialism see how powerful we are!"

"Damn it!"

...

But I didn't expect that their reaction would be so calm!

This is the result of practicing their patience and calmness! Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. The so-called "one gain will lead to one loss" is really a truth that will last forever.

"This is the plan!" I pointed to the topographic map hanging on the tunnel wall and said, "Squads 1, 2 and 3 lurked on the 597.9 highland, mountains and 537.7 highland respectively, looking for a location for themselves. They require that they can evacuate quickly. After the US military gets up, they are ready to use charge as order, and use the fastest speed to finish all the bullets in the gun chamber, and then return to the tunnel at the fastest speed! Do you understand if you are not allowed to change the magazine?"

"I understand!" The soldiers responded in unison, and then returned to their tunnel without saying a word to prepare.

"Captain Cui, the fight is now on!" After the soldiers left, Wang Yuehan asked in confusion: "But I see why this action is a little different from the usual training. Usually you ask them to go out to perform tasks in batches at different times. Why today..."

"Because this is the first time!"

The weather was getting colder and colder. I lay on the ground feeling the chill coming from the ground and the whizzing wind on my back, and couldn't help but shivered. But I soon realized that if it was daytime, I would have probably become the target of the enemy machine gunner at this time.

After some necessary rest and preparation, I lurked on the position at four o'clock in the morning with the soldiers. I chose this time because of my own lazy mentality. Earlier means we have to lurk longer, and if we are a little later, the sky will soon brighten.

My purpose is to give them a ruthless moment when the US military gets up in the early morning when they are almost unaware of any warning.

Because it was the first time, the US military would not be prepared, so we could dispatch the entire army at the same time, so we

Only by launching an attack on the US military at the same time.

This time it was not so much a sniper battle, but rather another way to tell the Americans - it was time for us to shoot cold guns.

In order to maintain a good condition, I closed my eyes and rested for a while, but when I opened my eyes again, I found that the sky was getting brighter.

The surrounding scenery gradually became clear, and the scenery in the direction of the US military position was not much different from when I came a few days ago: two layers of barbed wire fences filled with canned boxes, trenches and machine gun positions built with sandbags, bunkers poured with reinforced concrete, neatly arranged single tents, and anti-aircraft machine guns on the machine gun positions...

But the scenery in the direction of the volunteer army is different. Although there are still bumpy bullet craters everywhere, the height is not the same as it was a few days ago.

The enemy's position was complete and full of modern equipment, but there were not even basic trenches on our surface position. This difference was not ordinary. I can't imagine how the volunteer soldiers defended the surface position in this situation in the early stages of the Shangganling Battle.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on our military positions, the light of the US searchlight finally stopped rotating. For the US military, they finally waited for the day when they could rest and have fun.

Because most of the volunteers launched an attack at night, the US military is always on guard against our positions at night. And when it comes to daylight, their tense nerves will slowly relax. But I believe that soon they will soon know that the situation is not what they think.

It's almost time! Perhaps because the weather is getting colder, the US military did not get out of the tent like they usually do until a well-dressed US military yelled at the tents:

"Fuck out of the tent for me! Did you dream of a bitch last night? You haven't gotten up yet! If I find someone in the tent in two minutes, I swear to put your dicks on the bayonet!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was said that the US military officers scolded their subordinates in a row of swear words. I have seen this in modern American war movies, but this is the first time I have truly experienced the power of it.

But after a while, American soldiers with disheveled clothes came out of the tents one after another. Those who were carrying their pants, holding cigarettes, and checking the anti-aircraft machine gun... In an instant, the entire high ground opposite became lively.

I slowly retracted my head and returned to my position.

My position is the edge of the 537.7 high ground. In this place, as long as I stretch out my head, I can see the enemy's position on the opposite side. The next step back is my backscene position, which can be said to be a good sniper position.

After returning to my position, I turned around and made a gesture to Wang Yuehan who had been waiting at the entrance of the tunnel. Wang Yuehan nodded understandingly, turned around and sang the flag to the 597.9 high ground.

There is no communication equipment! I have to use this kind of local method.

If we launch a small battle with two high grounds and one mountain like us now, it will cause a lot of trouble to be out of here due to the weak communication equipment.

For example, we, who are lurking in the 597.9 highland, mountains and 537.7 highland, just want to shoot at the enemy at the same time. This seems to be a very simple thing, but it becomes very troublesome because there is no communication equipment.

First of all, we cannot use gunfire as a trumpet. What if the enemy is still shooting! So we can only use the charge that the enemy does not have. However, there will be another problem with the charge. As soon as the trumpet sounds from the trumpet sound of the trumpet sound, the soldiers will fire immediately, and then the enemy will quickly fight back. The sound of the gun and cannons may cover up the trumpet sound and make the warriors in other highlands unable to execute the commands in time.

So we could only set up a trumpeter on each high ground, and then contacted with flags and blew the charge at the same time...

This also made me realize that if an excellent sniper force is really necessary, advanced communication equipment is essential. Otherwise, our soldiers lurk in front of them, and even if they see the enemy's actions or find an emergency, they will not be able to report to the headquarters.

These are all later words. After making gestures, I slowly poked my head out of the edges again and focused my eyes on the sniper lens to find my target. Fortunately, I found that the officer I just recognized had not left yet. He was sitting on the shell box and looking at our army's position in a daze. The distance between me and him was only more than one hundred meters. In the scope, I could clearly see a little sadness in his blue eyes, maybe I remembered someone at home...

The sharp sound of the charge suddenly rang out, and I pulled the trigger without hesitation. With the vibration from my shoulders, a bullet flew out. Coincidentally, the bullet first shot away the coffee in his hand and then shot into his heart...

The black coffee stained his military uniform, and then the dazzling bright redness that came out of the black was revealed. He looked at his chest in disbelief, then looked up in the direction of me, and then his whole body softened and collapsed on the ground.

There was no pain or despair in his eyes, only surprise. Perhaps, this sudden bullet made him feel no hurry to have any other thoughts.

Before the Americans could react to what was going on, gunfires quickly started to sound one after another. The distance was only more than one hundred meters, and the soldiers were all sharpshooters. In addition, they were ready to go, so almost every gunshot would a US military come down.

The US military quickly lay on the ground, hid in the trenches and prepared to fight back, but they could not see where we were hiding, and they fell one by one under our guns.

"Bang bang bang..."

I fired all the bullets in the gun in one breath. Several US troops who grabbed the anti-aircraft machine gun and were about to fire, all of them were shot in the head and fell into the position without exception.
Chapter completed!
