Chapter 42 Seminar
"I just received an order from my superiors, and each unit will arbitrarily select targets below the battalion level to attack!"
The first thing I did when I returned to the regiment headquarters was to convene the battalion commanders and instructors in the regiment to hold a meeting and convey the general content and ideas of the division headquarters meeting. Of course, I would not talk too much about the true intention of the superior organization to make a large-scale "small fight" this time. Moreover, in this direction of our army, it cannot be said to be "small fight"!
"Okay! It's going to start fighting again!"
"I haven't moved for a few days and I'm so nervous. This battle is coming at the right time!"
...
As soon as I finished speaking, the soldiers all raised their hands excitedly to show their strong enthusiasm. This is how the soldiers of the volunteer army were. When they were fighting, they were all so happy that they screamed. They had never seen them raise any difficulties.
"Captain!" Hu Biao stood in front of me with a big golden sword and said, "Don't choose our position. What else can I do except the 902.8 highland in front of me? During this period, all the soldiers in our first battalion gritted their teeth for this highland. Now they finally have the opportunity to take revenge!"
"There are also our third battalion!" Li Weiqiang continued and said, "This 902.8 highland is really hateful, and I agree to hit it!"
There is a reason why Hu Biao and Li Weiqiang have such a big opinion on the 902.8 Highlands. One of them is the battalion commander of the first battalion and the other is the battalion commander of the third battalion. Both battalions are stationed on the 649.8 Highlands. They are usually suppressed and beaten by enemies on the 902.8 Highlands. They suffer some losses. Now they want to rush up and fight immediately.
"The goal is indeed the 902.8 highland!"
My words immediately aroused a lot of praise from the soldiers. The fact is that all my preparations were on the 902.8 high ground, and even if I didn't let me fight the 902.8 high ground, it wouldn't work.
"Captain Cui!" Liu Shunyi saluted me and reported: "The division headquarters called, and our army's request for the Soviet Union for April and May has not been answered yet! The artillery support for various combat units will be reduced."
"Yeah!" I nodded, turned around and said to the soldiers: "Comrades understand the current situation! Our battle is for peace in the world and for the armistice of North Korea! Now the Americans and the puppet army are called Jian and the other are called to fight. Let's taste the fighting for those who are called to fight!"
"That's right! Give them some great taste!"
"Blow him! Beat until they are subdued!"
...
"After discussing with the deputy regiment commander and political commissar, the battle plan is as follows..." I pointed to the 902.8 high ground on the map and said: "A few days ago, Deputy regiment commander Liu organized reconnaissance platoons on the enemy's 902.8 high ground. Four garrison tunnels were built on the front of the enemy's position. Tomorrow night, I will take the 7th Company into the garrison tunnel..."
"Captain!" The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, "How can you do this? You are here in person? This is too dangerous!"
"Yes, the commander!" Hu Biao also interrupted and said, "I have no objection to entering the garrison tunnel in the 7th Company, but you can't personally do it. Let this matter be left to Li Guoqiang for command..."
"Why can't I go up? Didn't I fight from the tunnel in Shangganling?" I asked back, "Besides, although the 7th Company is an elite force, none of them have fought in tunnel wars. What should I do if there is any problem? Use the soldiers of the entire regiment to fill it out?"
As soon as I said this, the soldiers were speechless. I said it to the point. The soldiers of the 180th Division, including Li Guoqiang, had no experience in fighting tunnel warfare. If you want to fight tunnel warfare, no one can compare to me, the commander who just came down from Shangganling.
Besides, the mission of the Seventh Company is also crucial. If the Seventh Company can successfully capture the enemy's position and persist until reinforcements arrive, then the battle will be converted into a form of defending the enemy's attack, which is very beneficial to our army. Once the Seventh Company's operation fails, it will also mean that it will alarm the enemy, which means that our strategic goals will be completely exposed to the enemy, so don't fight this battle.
Seeing that the soldiers were speechless, I continued to order: "The mission of the 7th Company is to move to the 902.8 Highland tomorrow night to enter the garrison tunnel. The evening after tomorrow, that is, at 9:00 pm on the 13th, I launched a raid and quickly occupied the top position of the puppet army on the 902.8 Highland, and held for two to three hours to wait for reinforcements!"
"Yes!" Li Guoqiang responded.
"The Third Battalion is the second echelon..." I looked at Li Weiqiang and said, "You will lurk at the foot of the 902.8 position tomorrow night, and will quickly reinforce the 7th Company when the battle starts. You are required to lurk by the discipline, and to act quickly, and pay attention to the mines buried by the puppet army on the road. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" Ensure the completion of the task!" Li Weiqiang responded.
"The first battalion is responsible for defending the 649.8 Heights." I continued to order: "One company of the Second Battalion is responsible for defending the 510 Heights, and the other two companies are reserves ready to reinforce the 902.8 Heights at any time. Are there any problems?"
"No!" the soldiers responded in unison.
"Captain! I have a problem!" The soldiers heard Hu Biao's voice as soon as they finished speaking.
Hu Biao's reaction was long as I expected, but I still nodded and asked knowingly: "What's the problem?"
"Report to the regiment commander!" Hu Biao stood up dissatisfiedly: "Our battalion has never been yelling about hardships and fatigue in wars, and never mentioned difficulties when going to the battlefield. Why can't we even get a reserve team this time?"
"I didn't say that your camp cannot fight!" I replied, "Tell me how many people there are left after the battles your camp has fought!"
"There are more than three hundred people left!" Hu Biao replied hesitantly.
"Do you want to use more than 300 people to be the second echelon?" I asked back, "Even if we add the Seventh Company, there are only more than 500 people. Let's use our more than 500 people to fight the two battalions of the puppet army?"
"Then... can the Third Battalion complete the mission?" Hu Biao said with some concern: "Many of the Third Battalion are recruits, such as the Ninth Company, all of whom have just graduated from the Infantry School. They have never been on the battlefield, so let them lurk?"
I couldn't help but turn my eyes to the third battalion commander Li Weiqiang, and the other soldiers also looked at Li Weiqiang.
This is actually what I am worried about. If it is a war, it is okay. If it is a new recruit, it is a new recruit! As long as it is not scared, it will not even dare to fire a gun, it can play a role in the battlefield. Besides, Jiang Changshun's gang of soldiers who came out of the Infantry School have all the quality of all, and they are not as good as this.
But this lurking battle is different. I dare say that there is no lurking battle in their military training. We have to lurking under the enemy's nose all day. If any soldier is exposed, it will be the end of annihilation of the entire army...
"Report to the regiment commander!" Looking at our eyes, Li Weiqiang replied with certainty: "Everyone of the Nine Corps is a soldier from the Infantry School, and he has a foundation! In addition, during this period, we deliberately let them go to the battlefield to adapt to the environment, and occasionally go out to fight cold guns. They are no longer a new recruit. I believe they will be able to handle this lurking mission. Please feel free to hand over the mission to us!"
I nodded and said, "I will do ideological work for them later and emphasize more discipline in the lurking battle!"
"Yes!" Li Weiqiang responded.
"The Third Battalion Commander..." Hu Biao glared at Li Weiqiang fiercely and said, "This is what you said. You have to know that our regiment commander's life is in your hands. If something goes wrong, I will be the first to not forgive you!"
I was stunned when I heard this, and soon I understood what Hu Biao meant. If Li Weiqiang's soldiers were exposed in lurking battles, the puppet army would definitely conduct a large-scale search, and our 7th Company would be in danger. On the other hand, if Li Weiqiang could not arrive in time to reinforce us, our 7th Company would also be in danger.
Hu Biao is right. To a certain extent, my life is still on Li Weiqiang.
"Don't worry! Commander Hu!" Li Weiqiang replied confidently: "If you can't complete the mission, don't say you won't let me go, I will come to see you with my head!"
"I'll tell you guys..." Li Pinghe couldn't help but joke: "Don't say who can't forgive anyone. If you can't complete the mission, the first one who can't forgive you is the puppet army!"
Li Pinghe's words attracted the soldiers' knowing laughter.
"That's it!" I concluded: "Every unit will go back and prepare for battle and set off on time at 9 o'clock tomorrow night!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded and returned to their own troops and prepared to go.
"Report to the leader!"
I was wiping the m1 rifle in the tunnel and sorting out ammunition to prepare for tomorrow's battle, and Lin Xue's report came from outside the tunnel, which made me stunned: Is this girl a change today? She usually intentionally avoided me, but today she went to the regiment headquarters to find me...
However, it seems that a soldier has something to look for the regiment commander, which is normal! I couldn't help but look at the dozen busy people in the regiment headquarters and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "How great it would be if no one was there!"
"Come in!" I responded angrily, and turned my attention to the rifle in my hand with boringness.
"Report to the regiment commander!" Lin Xue walked into the tunnel, gave a standard military salute in front of me, and said, "The Ninth Company is holding a lurking seminar. Company Commander Jiang wants you to attend too, and at the same time give some advice to the soldiers!"
"Landing Seminar?" I couldn't help but feel a little fresh when I heard this word. These nine companies are indeed worthy of being soldiers from the Infantry School! Their educational level is different. If you hold any meeting, you will add "discussion" in front of it, making you look like an expert!
Then I soon thought of Jiang Changshun's intentions. He did this to let the soldiers understand the discipline of lurking combat, and to show me that they have the ability and confidence to complete the tasks I assigned them. As for why Lin Xue came to invite me... it is unknown!
I nodded, leaned my rifle aside, stood up and wrinkled cotton coats, and took Xu Yongwei and Zhang Mingxue to the tunnel of the Ninth Company.
"I'm talking about Comrade Lin Xue!" As I walked, I asked Lin Xue casually beside me: "You are not a soldier of the Ninth Company now, why are you still obeying Company Commander Jiang's command?"
"Then..." Lin Xue felt something was wrong after hearing my words, so she hesitated before explaining: "Then he is the company commander, I am a soldier, of course I have to obey his orders!"
"I'm afraid it's not just because of this!" I whispered: "Your Company Commander Jiang is afraid that he can't invite me, so he...hehe..."
I suddenly realized that when did my laughter be the same as that guy Wang Xinhe, and it seemed to be even worse than his laughter. The so-called "those who are close to the ink are black and those who are close to the vermilion are red and red, this is really good.
I looked at Lin Xue again, glared at me fiercely, and secretly glanced at the two guards behind me, but I didn't dare to speak again, just blushed and lowered my head to walk.
Seeing Lin Xue's unnatural body, I felt happy. On the battlefield wherever I went, it was impossible to touch my hands and feet. Only by making jokes like now can I feel a little satisfied in my heart.
The tunnel of the Ninth Company is not far away, only one mile away from the regiment headquarters, and it will arrive in just over a dozen minutes.
The light threads in the tunnel were very dark. I bent down and walked in for a while. When I arrived at a bend, I vaguely saw a little light from the kerosene lamp. Under the lamp, there were crowds of volunteer soldiers discussing something.
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
...
As soon as I saw me, the soldiers stood up and saluted me. They all had kind smiles on their faces. For some reason, I also had a special relationship with the soldiers of the Ninth Company. I can't say why. Maybe... In addition to their comrades, there is also a layer of classmates' relationship with them! Or maybe it's because of Lin Xue that I love the house and the miserable!
"Sit...you keep going!" I signaled the soldiers to sit down, and then leaned against the side and sat on a bullet box that Jiang Changshun gave away for me.
"I'll ask another question..." said a warrior with a Sichuan accent: "The sound in the valley is far away. What should I do if the enemy hears it when coughing?"
"Small question!" a soldier replied: "You won't quit smoking?"
"Just don't smoke, I still have to cough if my throat is itchy!"
"There is a way!" Another soldier replied: "Dig a small hole on the ground with his hands, blocked the towel on his mouth, and buried his head in the small hole to cough, so that the sound will be much smaller!"
"If you encounter a cold cannon explosion, you can still cough a few times!"
"I have another problem!" A warrior with a Henan accent looked at everyone and said a little embarrassedly: "What if I snore when I sleep?"
With a coaxing sound, all the soldiers laughed. Later I realized that this Henan soldier snored like thunder, and could be heard across a tunnel.
"Then don't sleep!" some soldiers replied.
The Henan soldier said frowningly: "If you are so sleepy that you are fighting with your eyelids, you can't help but fall asleep..."
"It doesn't matter!" A soldier rolled up his sleeves and exposed the muscles on his arm and said, "I am lurking next to you. When you are about to fall asleep, I will give you a hard time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers in the tunnel laughed into a ball again.
At this time, I don’t know who said: “What if I get injured by the enemy’s stray bullet during the lurking process?”
The laughter stopped abruptly, obviously this was the most serious problem the soldiers had to face, and the lively atmosphere in the venue suddenly became quiet.
"I'll say!" Lin Xue interrupted, "We can carry a first aid kit on each of us. If we are injured, we can bandage each other!"
"This is not good!" Jiang Changshun shook his head and said, "The bandage is white and it is very conspicuous when bandaged. Even if we can do concealment in time, the bandage will often be too big and it is easy to expose the entire army!"
The tunnel was silent again. The soldiers obviously had no good idea for this difficult problem!
"Captain Cui..." Jiang Changshun turned his eyes to me, and the soldiers also turned their eyes to me, and I instantly became the focus of all the soldiers.
I clicked helplessly, took over this hot potato and said earnestly: "I will tell you a story. It was a few days before the Battle of Shangganling. Our army was ordered to attack the enemy's 351 Height. I led a company to lurk in the grass in front of the 351 Height. Coincidentally, this company is also the 9th Company, just like you, and the 9th Company of the 135th Regiment of the 45th Division. Just as the soldiers said just now, there are many difficulties in lurking, including coughing, sleeping, numbness in hands and feet, cold and hunger, etc. It doesn't seem to be anything, but when it lurks, it will become a test and a torture! But the biggest difficulty is not this. The enemy felt that there was danger in the grass, so he fired a few incendiary bombs at our lurking position..."
"Incendiary bomb!"
Several soldiers couldn't help but stand up and asked nervously: "What happened later? Have you been discovered by the enemy?"
"Not discovered by the enemy!" I shook my head gently: "Do you know why it was not discovered by the enemy? The fire of the incendiary bomb affected a soldier, who was a few meters behind me, and there was even a ditch next to him. As long as he turned over or climbed a few steps, he could climb into the ditch and put out the fire, but he didn't do that! He lay on the spot from beginning to end, and his fingers were tightly pulled into the soil until the flames completely swallowed him until he could no longer move...
His name is Qiu Shaoyun!”
There was silence in the tunnel, and the soldiers were obviously shocked by this story. Especially when I, the person I saw with my own eyes, described the scene at that time, which made the soldiers empathize.
"I'll say!" After a long time, a soldier stood up and said, "If you were accidentally injured, you would never crawl or move around to let the enemy discover that anyone who was a corrupt will be the sinner of the whole army and the people of the whole country! I promise that you will never scream or move around if you are injured!"
"Yes! We must learn from Comrade Qiu Shaoyun. Even if we are crushed to pieces, we must ensure the safety of the collective in exchange for victory in the battle!"
...
The soldiers expressed their opinions in words and words, but I silently withdrew from the tunnel.
Chapter completed!
