Chapter 125: Fell

"Chief of Staff! Should we do something?" Gao Yongxiang asked from the side.

Because of the thick smoke, most soldiers did not see the situation at the foot of the mountain clearly. But as long as they were a wise man, they could understand what was going on just by listening to the sound, so some soldiers became anxious.

"Yes! Chief of Staff!" Miao Huaizhi, who followed him out to see the situation, also frowned and said, "This is not a solution! If the reinforcements cannot come, our counterattack plan will not be implemented tomorrow night. What's more, didn't the superiors also order us to cover the reinforcements?"

"Cover?" I couldn't help but ask, "How to cover it? Rush out and fight with the Americans? How to fight without bullets? Just go out like this and you're going to die? Besides, have you seen the reinforcements just now? We can't see them, and they can't see us either. This person can't see. What do you think you'll cover it?"

After I said this, the soldiers stopped talking.

Actually, the soldiers didn't know what I said, but although they knew it, they watched the comrades who came to reinforce died under the enemy's bullets and shells. They couldn't accept it emotionally and were psychologically dissatisfied. They always wanted to do something to help their comrades rush up.

They can think like this, but as the commander, I can't think like this. I can only think about the overall situation, be more realistic and rational than them! Otherwise, the final result will only be to make the loved ones hurt and the enemy will be happy!

"Tell the soldiers!" I gritted my teeth and ordered: "No order is allowed to run out of the tunnel without authorization to accept reinforcements!"

"Yes!" Gao Yongxiang, Miao Huaizhi and others responded in a low voice and helpless manner.

I put the telescope into the box hanging around my waist, took the sniper rifle from behind, and pointed it at the entrance of the tunnel.

Originally, I didn't need to be the chief of staff to guard the tunnel entrances, and Gao Yongxiang and others would not let me do such a thing in normal times. But we all know that tonight is an extraordinary period, and whether the reinforcements can come up smoothly is directly related to whether they can fight back tomorrow night, and even whether we will be blocked into the tunnel by the enemy. This battlefield requires someone to direct decisions on the spot, so Miao Huaizhi and others did not stop me from doing this.

My gaze continued to extend forward in the scope, but I didn't even know how far it could extend. Because the front I saw was a dark void, so I had no way to judge the distance.

Will reinforcements come up again? Will the Battle of Shangganling be completely blocked by the enemy? This is a big deal. The food in the tunnel is not enough for a few days... Everyone says that God is fair. It gives people a strength, and often gives it a weakness. Does that mean that because I store a large amount of water in the tunnel, God will make us seriously short of food?

After staring at this darkness for a long time, my thoughts also floated up. It was not until a few dark shadows slowly moving towards us entered my sniper lens that I suddenly woke up.

They are the surviving soldiers!

I quickly made such a judgment. If the US military wanted to use this method to attack our tunnel, it would be too naive. They knew the location and direction of our tunnel entrance. After these days of fighting, they even knew which area was under our firepower control.

So most of the people who slowly crawled towards the tunnel entrance in front of me were survivors of the reinforcements.

"Chief of Staff..." Gao Yongxiang, who was lying beside me, obviously also noticed this situation and asked gently in my ear.

I know what he meant. At this time, I could actually easily pick up these soldiers. Because they had already broken through the enemy's first two fire blockade lines, and now in front of them are only these dozen fire points in the blockade tunnel. All we have to do is to lead the explosive pack a little, and then run out to pick up the people when the explosive pack explodes.

But I didn't do that! I was counting the number of those black shadows, four, five... There were twelve in total!

I gritted my teeth and shook my head.

"Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang exclaimed again.

"Shut up!" I felt annoyed when Gao Yongxiang asked, and I pushed back in a stiff tone.

I know what would be waiting for this group of soldiers if I didn't ignite the explosive bag and brought them in soon! It would be difficult for them to find the tunnel entrance in this dark night, and the American firepower point was above our heads. They wanted to enter the tunnel without being discovered by the enemy, and the chances were very small...

But I can't do that, their number is too small, and I can't use our only chance just for these dozen warriors.

So, I could only watch them so much, watching them climb forward step by step, and move forward step by step. They even carry ammunition and food to support us. They are still unwilling to throw away these supplies until now, and they are unwilling to throw away these supplies to us, but they will greatly increase the supplies they sacrificed at the guns of the enemy. Some of the soldiers are even obviously injured... Looking at their figures climbing up with difficulty, waves of guilt flowing towards me like a tide.

Who am I? When did I become so cruel?

I asked myself over and over again in my heart: They are here to reinforce us, they are trying their best to deliver food and ammunition to us! But I... If it were in the past, I would definitely choose to ignite the explosive pack and pick them up without hesitation. But now I am watching them walk step by step under the enemy's gun.

Getting closer, getting closer...

I hope there will be a miracle, but reality is cruel, especially on the battlefield!

With a gunshot, the searchlight light quickly shone on the soldiers. At this time, I finally saw their faces clearly, but at this moment, these faces were flooded with bright red. The US military fired seven or eight machine guns at them at the same time, and I could only watch them fall one by one in the pool of blood. The bullets shot blood arrows on the soldiers, forming a red blood curtain in front of me...

"Hi!" Gao Yongxiang, who was lying beside me, punched the ground hard.

I know that his punch included both the pain of the warrior's sacrifice and the dissatisfaction with me!

At this time, I couldn't help but remember what Commander Pang said: As a successful commander, you must not only be cruel to the enemy, but also to your own people!

I have always thought that I had no chance to be cruel to my comrades on the battlefield, so I never took this matter to heart, but now I find that I am wrong. On the battlefield, there are always choices.

These choices seem simple because they are nothing more than sacrificing the minority or the majority. I think this question is in front of you, and most people will choose the former even if they don’t want to. But when they really do this question on the battlefield, they find that it is so difficult!

The smell of blood and smoke, accompanied by dust, slowly poured in from the entrance of the tunnel. I just lay quietly on the cold ground and watched without moving, without thinking or movement.

At first, Gao Yongxiang seemed to be able to understand... or it would be more appropriate to use the word "tolerate", because I knew he was also controlling himself, just because I was the chief of staff and didn't dare to have an attack.

But... after more than two hours, when the second team came to reinforce the army suffered the same fate, he could no longer bear to watch it, and threw the rifle on his back, and returned to the tunnel in a muffled voice without saying anything.

Sometimes I would think, just ignite the explosives and let the soldiers rescue a group of soldiers in happily. In this way, the soldiers will at least accept their feelings and will not feel dissatisfied with me. What's more, if I keep waiting like this, what if the last group is still like this?

But after thinking about it, I finally forced this idea down. As a commander, what I have to be responsible for is not my own face or the soldiers’ views of me, but the lives of the soldiers and all factors that are beneficial to the situation of the battle.

So I was still lying in front of the tunnel and waiting motionlessly.

Suddenly, an explosive bag was thrown in from outside when I was not mentally prepared. The force it threw in was very strong, so it did not fall into the passage we dug at the entrance of the tunnel. Without thinking, I jumped up and threw out the explosive bag that was still emitting blue smoke!

With a "boom!", a loud bang came from outside the tunnel.

Before I could reply from the explosion, the grenade outside threw it inside like raindrops. I hurriedly ran back a few steps, turned sideways and turned into the corner, and heard a series of explosions of "boom...", and I was drowned in the smoke and dust.

However, as I expected, these actions of the US military cannot cause much damage to our tunnel entrance. First, most grenades will roll from the passage in front of the tunnel entrance to the outside of the tunnel, and second, the tunnel entrance has also been reinforced by the soldiers, and it cannot be destroyed by a few grenades.

"Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff!" Hearing the movements coming from the entrance of the tunnel, soldiers not far away ran up to support him with guns.

I didn't answer either. I pulled out a grenade and pulled the strings and gently threw it out of the tunnel... The force was just right, and it was thrown at Lianrong at the entrance of the tunnel. With a roar, there were a few screams outside, and then there was no sound. But the explosions in the direction of other tunnels were one after another!

"Chief of Staff! Are you okay?" Instructor Qin and Gao Yongxiang rushed over after hearing the sound.

"It's okay!" I responded, listened carefully to the sound outside, and couldn't help but frowned: "It's strange, why did the US military attack our tunnel at night this time?"

"Yes!" Director Qin nodded: "The situation in other tunnels is similar, and most of them have been attacked by the US military. It seems that they are organized and planned!"

"Flashlight!" I gave the order, held up my gun and turned around and turned around.

Almost at the same time, Gao Yongxiang held two flashlights with his hands left and right toward the tunnel entrance opposite. Through layers of smoke, several figures were shaking under the faint light of the flashlight. I pulled the trigger at those figures without thinking. In this case, as long as the person outside was the enemy.

I heard a few screams, and then I heard the American curse "shift", and I became more convinced that I had not hurt my own people by chance.

After I finished shooting a magazine, I flashed into the corner, and soon a soldier consciously filled my position.

"Chief of Staff!" Director Qin asked me on the side, "Do you see, our reinforcements frequently move towards the tunnel, which aroused the US military's vigilance, so he organized a force to blow up our tunnel entrance?"

"Well, there is this possibility!" I nodded while loading the magazine for my rifle: "But if it was just like the situation just now, the US military would not have to further blockade our tunnel entrance!"

Instructor Qin nodded in agreement. Although he had not seen reinforcements coming up just now, he also knew that none of the two batches of reinforcements successfully entered the tunnel. Under such circumstances, it was indeed unreasonable for the US military to be so anxious to blow up the tunnel entrance.

"Unless..." After thinking about it, I couldn't help but say happily: "Unless they threatened that the firepower point coming from our reinforcements had been blown up, and we could no longer block our reinforcements route as strictly as before!"

"It's reasonable!" Director Qin clapped his hands and replied: "The Americans were worried that the reinforcements would enter the tunnel in large numbers, so they were panicked and even tried to blow up our tunnel entrance in this dark night!"

"But..." Then Director Qin said in disbelief: "Which unit has such ability can actually send people to clear the obstacles first..."

"No matter which unit he is!" I smiled and said, "Anyway, our reinforcements are about to arrive. I will notify the soldiers of the tunnel immediately and prepare for detonating the explosives!"

"Yes!" Director Qin responded excitedly.

"And!" I shouted to the back of Instructor Qin: "Let the soldiers pay attention to fighting, there may be people outside! All units are not allowed to rush out of the tunnel!"

"Yes!" Director Qin responded without looking back.

The reason why the soldiers were not allowed to rush out of the tunnel is that we were almost in the same position as the US military. With such poor visibility, if we rush out of the tunnel to respond, we may be mistaken for the reinforcements and causing accidental injuries. We may not be sure to fight with the reinforcements even if we are.

At this time, the soldier lying at the entrance of the tunnel shot and fired the bullets and retreated to the corner. I immediately made up again. But this time I couldn't see any figure, and even the light of the searchlight of the US military was gone. I guess it must have been knocked out by the reinforcements! So I was thinking that this group of reinforcements really had some tricks, and I don't know who was the sage that had such ability!

"Dadadada..." At this time, a machine gun sound suddenly came from outside the tunnel, and the bullets flew over our heads with a "swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish-swish

Sure enough, the gunshots of the US military firepower fort above our heads also rang one after another. But for some reason, the bullets of the turntable machine gun kept firing into our tunnel!

After looking at the two flashlights in Gao Yongxiang's hand, I understood that the reinforcements regarded our light source as the target of shooting! Not to mention, the shooting technique is really accurate. It can even hit bullets into this tunnel when it is so far away from such a dark place.

Thinking of this, I quickly ordered: "Hurry, turn off the flashlight!"

"Yes!" Gao Yongxiang responded, immediately pressed the flashlight and suddenly fell into darkness.

Just as I was about to order the explosive pack to ignite, several black shadows suddenly broke out in the tunnel opposite, and ran down the hillside like crazy. Then more than a dozen ran out like a swarm...

"What a name!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse in confusion.

The figures were obviously volunteer soldiers, and they were volunteer soldiers stationed in the tunnel. If they were US troops, they would not run out of the tunnel or run down the hillside.

But...why did they run out of the tunnel?

"It's the No. 6 tunnel!" Gao Yongxiang continued with a serious expression: "It's the place where Captain Li is stationed! It seems he has become a deserter..."

"What? Li Zhengyong! Be a deserter?" I was shocked when I heard this. Looking at the twenty figures, I still couldn't believe this fact.

But the fact that followed made me believe it, because a fire dragon spewed out quickly. Before the fire dragon ignited them all, I clearly saw that they were indeed volunteer soldiers.

The screams rang out in the blazing fire, and more than twenty figures rolled and ran in the fire, which was a terrible sight! The smell of burnt smell and gasoline came over me, making me almost unable to breathe.

But I don't care about these, nor can I care about them.

All along, what I felt on the battlefield was the heroic and tenacious side of the Volunteer Army soldiers. I thought that among the Volunteer Army soldiers, there would be no timid and cowardly deserters, but at this moment I realized that I was wrong.
