Chapter 138 First Aid Kit
"Be ready!" I ordered the phone and the soldiers beside me at the same time.
"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and immediately two people were standing by in front of the tunnel with shovels, while two other soldiers were holding submachine guns and aiming outside.
"Out of the lights!" I ordered again.
"Out of the lights!" The call from Li Baocheng and Gao Yongxiang also came from the phone.
The lights are turned off so that our location will not be exposed too early. If we still light kerosene lamps, once we dug through the tunnel entrance, the light coming out from the tunnel entrance will soon arouse the alert of the puppet army, which is obviously unfavorable to us.
With a "huh...", with my order, a soldier soon blew out the kerosene lamp. The tunnel was immediately pitch black and he couldn't see his five fingers.
After pausing for a while, seeing that the soldiers were ready, I immediately ordered: "Action!"
The soldiers' movements were not seen in the dark, and only a few slight sounds of shoveling soil were heard, and occasionally there was a sound of metal and iron intertwining. I knew that it was the soldiers' shovels that hit shrapnel mixed in the soil.
I was a little worried that these sounds would alarm the puppet troops stationed outside, but I soon found that my worries were redundant, because at this time, two rays of light had already shot into the tunnel entrance, and the soldiers had already dug two holes in the tunnel entrance.
The sky outside was already dark. As soon as the soldiers dug through the tunnel, they clearly saw the scenery outside. On the charred and soft soil, seven or eight puppet soldiers were huddled in the machine gun fort and shivered. It was the end of October. Although it had not snowed yet, the night outside the tunnel was already very cold.
Good guy, I couldn't help but curse when I saw this. These puppet troops actually built the machine gun fort directly in front of our tunnel entrance. However, there is indeed a reason for this. Building the machine gun fort in front of the tunnel entrance seems dangerous, but it can be discovered at the first time whether we dug the tunnel entrance. Moreover, if the puppet troops noticed any movement, it would be almost impossible for us to operate under the firepower control of the machine gun fort. Even if we successfully dug it, the machine guns in the enemy machine gun fort can effectively suppress the firepower in our tunnel, thereby achieving the goal of exploding the tunnel entrance again.
Although we were hiding in the tunnel in the dark, the puppet army only needed to use machine guns, recoil-free cannons, etc., and just fired into the tunnel with an ancient brain.
But unfortunately, they never expected that we would dig out three tunnel entrances at the same time. In this way, the puppet troops in the machine gun fort were completely surrounded by our three tunnel entrances...
The shooting hole was not big enough, so the soldiers continued to dig, but in order not to alarm the enemies in the machine gun castle, they became more and more careful. Suddenly, a crisp "kneel" sound came from the opposite side. I guess some soldier accidentally dug a larger shrapnel.
The strange sound immediately alarmed the puppet troops in the machine gun fort. They raised the rifles in their hands and pointed in the direction of the sound. But in this way, their backs were lit in front of us without any warning.
Without my orders, the soldiers knew what to do. The two soldiers responsible for digging the tunnel entrance no longer cared about the exposed position. They waved their shovels and used all their strength to dig twice at the tunnel entrance, and then quickly leaned to the side.
Almost as the two soldiers leaned aside, the two soldiers holding submachine guns rushed forward tacitly, poked the submachine gun out the two small holes that had just been dug, and shot at the enemies in the machine gun castle "da da da..."?
The screams suddenly sounded. I didn't see the enemy falling down, but only saw the flames emitted by the warrior's submachine guns and the bright red outside the two small holes. But I think that under this situation, the puppet troops stationed outside the tunnel entrance would not have hope of survival.
The gunshots stopped quickly, and the soldiers holding submachine guns retreated aside. The two soldiers holding shovels rushed up again. This time they were no longer as careful as before, but they held the engineer shovels and opened and closed them. In a few strokes, they expanded the two small holes, and then directly pushed the shoveled dirt outside the tunnel.
The entrance of the tunnel appeared in front of us again, and the air with the smell of gunpowder and blood was poured in, which made me feel shocked... Although the air outside the tunnel was turbid, it was many times better than that in the tunnel.
After taking a few deep breaths of "fresh air", I noticed the puppet army corpses lying outside the tunnel. By the way, in modern times, it would be strange if I didn't scare me to death when I saw such bloody corpses. But now I have seen too much on the battlefield, and these corpses can't attract my attention, so that the air stimulates me more than them...
The soldiers didn't say anything. Seven or eight people rushed out of the tunnel entrance and hurriedly picked up the weapons beside the puppet soldiers... There were machine guns, recoil-free cannons, and even a flamethrower... Some of them picked up weapons and some carried ammunition, and when they grabbed them, they moved them into the tunnel at the fastest speed. After a while, they transported a large pile into the tunnel.
All of this took only more than five minutes from the soldiers digging through the tunnel to kill the puppet army, until the soldiers transported all the puppet army's weapons into the tunnel. At this time, the other puppet army had not even reacted!
This is the combat efficiency of the volunteer soldiers. There are many things that do not require orders or words between them. Each of them knows what to do next and what to do. Each of them seems to be a part of the whole.
I didn't think about running out to pick up enemy equipment like the soldiers, because I believe the soldiers will do a good job. And as a chief of staff, I am not suitable to take risks in person to do this kind of ammunition.
Until I saw a first aid kit with the word "cross" in the dark light outside the tunnel. The soldiers' attention was obviously focused on the weapons in the hands of the puppet army, and they didn't notice this thing at all.
At this time, the soldiers who could not help but let the wounds rot in the tunnel last night because there was no medicine mouth. They were about to rush out, but at this moment, the call and footsteps of the puppet reinforcements came from above my head.
What to do? Go out or not?
I have missed the best opportunity to go out. If I go out, I may not be able to take anything, but I will lose my life!
Reason told me that I couldn't go out, but when I thought of so many comrades in the tunnel gritting their teeth and enduring the torture of illness, I couldn't help but gritting my teeth and rushing out with a rifle!
"chief of staff!"
"chief of staff……"
...
The soldiers never thought I would come like this. When I ran out, I realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.
"Bang!"
"Dadada..."
The gunshots and screams quickly began. When the puppet reinforcements arrived, they found that all their comrades were lying in a pool of blood. Then they saw that I ran out without knowing how to let me go easily. They immediately raised all kinds of weapons and fired bullets at me.
But unfortunately, most of them couldn't master the measurement in advance, and I ran out in a hurry. They were also fumbling in a hurry, so the bullets always landed behind me.
The entrance of the tunnel was not far from the enemy's machine gun fort, but in just a few seconds it arrived in front of the first aid kit. The bullet was chasing me closely. I didn't dare to stop and grabbed the first aid kit and turned over and hid in the machine gun fort. The bullets flew over the top of my head, and some hit the sandbag and made a pulsating sound.
After the puppet soldiers fought for a while, they found that they could not hit me hiding in the machine gun fort from their angle, so they stopped shooting and slowly approached me.
At this moment, my head was thinking quickly: If I turned around and ran back to the tunnel, I would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of bullets behind me, and the puppet troops were also ready to run back. In this way, I would inevitably end up being hit by several bullets and died.
So I gritted my teeth, pulled out a grenade and ignited it, threw it at my feet, watched the grenade emit white smoke for a while, and then took advantage of the puppet army's unsuccessful shooting and ran towards the tunnel opposite.
My leaping was beyond the expectations of the puppet army. In their subconscious, I always thought that I would go back wherever I came from and that I would think that I would run in the other direction. Unexpectedly, the bullet hit me wrong again.
But my danger has not passed yet. My target is too obvious, that is the tunnel entrance directly opposite. As long as the enemy with a little combat experience, it is easy to grasp this point. They don’t need to chase me with guns, they just need to use firepower to control the tunnel entrance. Then no matter how I run, they will eventually be sent to their guns...
At this time, the grenade I threw in the machine gun fort sounded, and there was only a "boom" sound, smoke, gravel, soil, and the body and blood of the puppet army flew up together. In addition, the bullets that the puppet army fired indiscriminately, the surroundings were suddenly in chaos, and even the tunnel entrances in front of me became blurred. But I believe I could still rush in with my impression. Although I was blind, I was not blind to the point of forgetting as soon as I saw it.
Yes, that grenade was deliberately thrown in the machine gun fort to confuse the enemy's sight. I was not worried that I would be injured by the shrapnel of the grenade. The grenade exploded in the machine gun fort. The shrapnel of the grenade exploded in the radial shape, and the lower part would be blocked by the sandbags around the machine gun fort. I could successfully avoid the shrapnel with just a little tap.
Of course, if any shrapnel would pass through the gap between the sandbags and hit me very accurately, then I would be dead and have nothing to say!
As I ran forward, things kept flying on my back and head. I couldn't tell whether these things hit my back were gravel, soil, or something else.
I hope it is not a bullet or shrapnel... I didn't rush to think about it, I just used my energy to run wildly towards the entrance of the tunnel regardless of everything. Because I knew that once the shock and smoke from the explosion of the grenade faded, I might never be able to go back alive.
Finally, I felt the darkness in front of me, and I got into the tunnel. From the relatively bright outside, I lost my sight for the time being, and my body that had been rushing forward couldn't help but stagnate. At this time, several pairs of powerful hands stretched out from the darkness and pulled me into the depths of the tunnel without saying a word.
"It's safe!" It was not until this time that I felt relieved.
"Chief of Staff! What's going on!" Li Baocheng's voice rang beside me: "As a regiment chief of staff, you are the commander of the two high grounds 597.9 and 537.7! I don't tell you if I lead the team to fight, but how can you..."
After a while in the tunnel, I adapted to the light inside. I ignored Li Baocheng's blame and stuffed the first aid kit in my hand into Li Baocheng's hand and ordered: "Send this to the wounded immediately!"
Li Baocheng took the first aid kit and quickly understood. He stared at the first aid kit for a while before nodding heavily, saluted respectfully in front of me, and replied: "Yes!"
As he said that, he held the first aid kit and ran into the tunnel.
"Chief of Staff! Are you okay..." At this time, Gao Yongxiang hurried out of the passage. Seeing that I was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he laughed: "At first, I didn't know it was you, and I said that which soldier was so smart! In such a short time, I could think of such a good way to avoid the enemy's bullets, and I wanted to send someone to call the soldier over! Later, after listening to the telephone soldier's report, I realized that it was the Chief of Staff you..."
"Why? Can the Chief of Staff go to the battlefield to fight?" I replied angrily: "If I am not a tough guy, can I be your Chief of Staff?"
"That's that's it!" Gao Yongxiang smiled and said, "But the Chief of Staff's hands seemed to be a bit too hard. If any of us had one hand and one leg, it would be good. The Chief of Staff had just a lot of parts..."
"This is not necessarily true!" I looked up and down at Gao Yongxiang and joked: "I think you can do it too, platoon leader Gao...you can do it too! That's it! If you don't believe it, go out for a walk like this, I bet you will be fine!"
"No, no, no..." Gao Yongxiang hurriedly bowed and said, "I admit defeat, can't I admit defeat?"
With a coaxing sound, all the soldiers beside them laughed into a ball.
"Chief of Staff, smoke a cigarette!" A soldier handed me a cigarette and said, "Please rest here for a while, and then we'll see ours!"
I took the cigarette, stared at him in the dim light for a while, and then I recognized that it was Wang Changsheng, the mortar he had just met. Later I found that he was holding a mortar. So I couldn't help but feel annoyed, almost doubting whether my head was blown up during the run-off just now.
Just when I was confused, Wang Changsheng was already holding the mortar and running towards the tunnel entrance with his assistant. Then he casually pushed the mortar to the tunnel entrance. The assistant tacitly set the mortar shells that had already been caught in his hand into the mortar...
With a "Teng!", an explosion came from outside the tunnel soon, and several puppet soldiers fell from above screaming.
Then there were two "twist" sounds, and two explosions came from the place I didn't see. This time, although no one fell from above, it seemed like a bloody rain was coming from the sky, and occasionally there was a hand, a foot, or a few fingers in the bloody rain.
After three shells were shot, Wang Changsheng didn't appreciate his work. He picked up the mortar and ran back. He laughed in front of me and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm shooting the guys who shot you just now. Now I'm avenging you!"
"Hey! Lao Wang!" Gao Yongxiang, who was beside him, was dissatisfied with hearing this: "I said the Chief of Staff is standing in front of us, right? What revenge are you avenging?"
"This..." Wang Changsheng couldn't help but speak for a moment, but after a little silence, he replied: "Then, that's to vent his anger for the Chief of Staff!"
"It's not appropriate to vent your anger!" Gao Yongxiang smiled and said, "Our chief of staff walked around under the enemy's nose, and came back without any hair. He was so angry that he jumped his feet!"
"Then..." Hearing Gao Yongxiang's words, Wang Changsheng said nothing again. But what he did was still so hot. After thinking about it, he replied: "Then I am avenging our sacrificed comrades and venting anger for the oppressed Korean fellow villagers!"
"good!"
"Well said!"
There was a lot of applause from around him, and Gao Yongxiang also raised his fists and said, "Comrades, let's learn from Comrade Wang Changsheng. We fight to avenge the sacrificed comrades and vent our anger on the oppressed North Korean fellow villagers! We will resolutely drive the US imperialist invaders out of North Korea's territory!"
"Avenge your sacrificed comrades!"
"Take anger on the oppressed North Korean fellow countrymen!"
"Down with the invaders!"
………
In an instant, the slogans in the tunnel sounded. Only then did I realize that sometimes we leaders and cadres were not needed to inspire the fighting passion of the soldiers, but only an ordinary soldier who accidentally said one or two sentences in this regard would soon resonate with other soldiers.
In the eyes of modern people, or in the eyes of most modern people, this kind of resonance would be very stupid and ridiculous. Even the puppet troops outside our tunnel would feel incredible when listening to our slogans. The US military's explanation of this phenomenon is that it is a kind of hypnosis and brainwashing of the red elements, but it can really inspire the combat effectiveness and fighting passion of the soldiers.
