Was the warriors of the Third Battalion exposed? Looking at the few smokes lurking on the position, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats. If the warriors were exposed, it was not a question of whether they could win, but whether we could go back alive.

The problem is not that serious, and I soon realized this. Because the Americans and the puppet army have never lacked shells. If the soldiers were really exposed, these shells would not be fired several times, but were in pieces. Now the shells are only occasionally fired a few times, perhaps because the puppet army saw that the situation below was wrong, and they fired a few rounds of shells to test.

Then I quickly thought that even if this is the case, those few shells would blow up, and they wouldn't be able to make any noise without making any sounds? By the way, this kind of pain is not something that people can tolerate! It is normal to shout out because of the pain, right? Isn't it? If I say that, I can't do this...

Fortunately, I didn't hear or see any abnormalities. Soon after, the puppet army shells were moved to another place to test.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that we were lucky this time, and those few shells did not seem to hit anyone. Otherwise, we would lose all this time.

I only realized after the war that my idea was actually a big mistake. Those shells not only hit people, but also injured more than a dozen volunteer soldiers.

In the 5th Company's lurking area, the soldier Zhang Baocai was hit by shrapnel in the leg. He rolled to the side and gave the road to the army. He lay in a pool of blood and shed the last drop of blood...

The 9th Company's hidden area, Jiang Changshun's company, suffered the most casualties in this shelling. A total of seven soldiers were injured, but none of them bandaged the wound, and no one made any sound. So much so that except for one soldier who was slightly injured and another soldier who buried the wound in the soil, the rest were all sacrificed due to excessive bleeding.

Among them, the soldier Gou Ziqing was hit in the abdomen by a shrapnel, and his intestines slipped out, and he didn't scream. He stuffed his intestines into his stomach, but he died gloriously not long after...

It was not until then that I knew one thing that there was never any luck on the battlefield, only the strength, sacrifice and perseverance of the soldiers. Only these things constantly created one incredible miracles and one unimaginable victory after another on the battlefield!

However, at this moment, I didn't know this. Seeing the puppet army shifting the target of the bombing, there was no movement in the lurking area of ​​our army, so I felt relieved. I whispered to the two soldiers responsible for the warning at the entrance of the tunnel and returned to the tunnel to find my own position.

As soon as she sat down, Lin Xue couldn't wait to lean over and breathed a long sigh of relief. I could clearly feel that the moment she leaned against me, the nerves in her body changed from tight to relaxation. It seemed that as long as I was by her side, she would feel relieved and not be afraid of anything.

A sense of unreasonable satisfaction instantly filled my vanity. In fact, this cannot be said to be vanity. This big sigh is the difference between women and men! No matter how strong a woman is, she always wants to find a shoulder to rely on and a harbor to be parked. Men often feel a sense of pride and satisfaction in their hearts when they have women rely on her!

The long day was in danger, worry, and slowly passed by Lin Xue's gentleness, and the sky became dark again. Of course, this seemed to be no different for us in the tunnel. Because our tunnel was pitch black from beginning to end.

I pushed Lin Xue and signaled her to sit down. Lin Xue was not very happy at first, but when she realized that I was pulling out the flashlight from her waist, she couldn't help but sit up straight and pretended to be like a person who was fine.

It was pretending to be really like that. I smirked in my heart, then lit up the flashlight, and took out the pocket watch from my arms. When I saw that at 8:20, there were still 40 minutes left before the battle time...

"Be ready for battle!" I ordered in a low voice.

“Be ready for battle!”

“Be ready for battle!”

...

The soldiers passed the orders one by one, then they all lit up their flashlights and began to organize their equipment under the light of the flashlight. Some checked their rifles, some loaded bullets for the rifles, some opened the ammunition box, some opened the safety cover of the grenade, some checked the night vision device, and some even tied the flashlight to the barrel...

Although the soldiers were very busy, they were all in order and knew that they were just under the enemy's nose, so they were very careful not to make any noise.

As a regiment commander, I had nothing to do except check the rifle, pistol and military spear. Looking at Lin Xue beside me, she also skillfully lit everything on her body, not looking at me at all, as if nothing had happened. Just when I felt a little disappointed, she turned around and made a face with me while others were not paying attention, and then quickly returned to the same state, which made me feel a little amused and cry.

Eight twenty-five!

The soldiers looked at everything on their bodies with serious faces, so that every weapon on them was in their habits. They were all veterans, and knew that every preparation before the war might play a significant role in the battlefield, and sometimes even save their lives. So they all meticulously and proceeded every step in time.

At 8:28!

In just a few minutes, everything was ready. Bullets were loaded, ammunition was unboxed, grenades were opened... The soldiers were all standing sideways with weapons holding each other on both walls of the tunnel. At the front, two soldiers were holding engineer shovels in their hands, waiting for the time to dig the tunnel and catch the enemy off guard.

8:30!

Several soldiers took this time to grab a few handfuls of fried noodles and drink a few sips of water. Some soldiers sprinkled the water on their faces to make themselves more awake. Speaking of which, the turbid air in the tunnel made everyone feel dizzy, which seemed to be a good idea, so many soldiers also did this.

"Boom..." At this moment, a dull sound of cannons came, one by one, one by one, and one by one. But the soldiers did not move, and there was no expression on their faces, because this was long before they expected, and of course I was also expected.

This is the masterpiece of our artillery, but it is not the 902.8 Heights we are going to attack tonight, but the 973 Heights adjacent to 902.8.

As Liu Shunyi said before, the tunnels we are in are difficult to transport wood, so they are not strong enough to resist the bombardment. So I am not so stupid that I let the artillery bomb 902.8. It is tantamount to burying me, the elite seventh company and the surprise soldier lurking in front of the enemy's position!

Another reason for shelling the 973 Highlands was that the puppet army thought that our main target of attack was the 973 Highlands. In order to achieve better results, the 539th Regiment and the 540th Regiment also sent a reconnaissance company to attack the 973 Highlands in three directions.

Although the strength of the two companies is nothing, who can see clearly how many troops there are behind this night? Coupled with a vigorous shelling, it is enough to make the puppet army believe that all this is true.

The consequence of the puppet army believed that these illusions were that all troops and firepower in Qizhong carried out reinforcements and counterattacks, so the defense of the 902.8 highland would naturally be relaxed. More importantly, the sound of gunfire and cannon outside could also cover our sneak attack to a large extent!

After more than ten minutes, the sound of artillery gradually subsided, followed by the loud charge and the loud shouts of killing. The puppet army was indeed deceived, which was proved by the dense sound of gunfire from the 973 Highlands. The puppet army ignored the number of volunteer soldiers attacking them, and fired a piece of bullets first. It seems that the puppet army not only learned some methods of fighting from the volunteer army, but also learned some "good habits" from the Americans. However, anyway, these bullets and shells were supported by the Americans for free, and it was useless to not fight!

"Out of the light!" With my order, the soldiers pressed the flashlight one after another, and the surroundings fell into darkness again. Only the rapid breathing from the soldiers beside them was faintly heard.

"Action!" When the pointer of the pocket watch pointed to nine o'clock, under my command, the two soldiers waiting at the bottom of the tunnel kicked down the two wooden stakes standing in front of them on the top of the tunnel, and then waved their shovels and dug them.

On the battlefield, it is a battle of inch of land, because every inch of land must be exchanged for blood and life. Sometimes a little distance can determine the outcome of a battle. This is also the reason why I don’t choose to attack from the entrance. Although it may be faster, it is also farther, and the enemy will have a greater chance of discovering it.

Now, after we dig the bottom of the tunnel, we are only a few meters away from the enemy's frontier position. This not only can catch the enemy off guard, but it can also cause chaos in the enemy, just like puppet military agents infiltrating our troops and causing chaos in our army...

With a "Teng...", a large piece of solid soil fell from above, and a large hole was dug out at the top of the tunnel. First, what entered our chest and lungs was the oncoming fresh air, which made all of us lighten. Then what broke into our eardrums was the sound of gunfire from the 973 Highlands, and even in front of us. It was thought that some puppet troops who had itched after shooting for a few days were practicing marksmanship. They didn't know that they were in danger, and they could almost say that one foot was already in the coffin.

"superior!"

The first thing I grabbed was two soldiers equipped with night vision devices. Their mission was to reconnaise the situation and cover the soldiers to drill out of the tunnel to unleash their troops.

I have to admit that the soldiers who built the tunnel were very thoughtful. They actually made a simple wooden ladder with logs at the bottom of the tunnel, which allowed the two soldiers to crawl out with their guns while holding their guns.

"Safe!" With the report coming from the walkie-talkie, the soldiers raised their guns and went out one after another without saying a word.

The night of killing people is dark and windy. This is a very suitable night for sneak attacks. There is no moonlight in the sky and no starlight. Except for the occasional lightning-like lightning when the shells in the 973 Highland bombs exploded, it was pitch black everywhere, and I couldn't see my five fingers. As soon as I got out of the tunnel and saw the sky, I knew that the puppet troops guarding the position were finished.

The soldiers' steps were very light. In fact, amid the sound of gunfire coming from the 973 Highland, the puppet troops more than ten meters away could not hear us walking. The war in the 973 Highland also attracted most of their attention. In addition, they did not expect that we would suddenly appear so close to their positions, so that when we were one by one, they did not notice at all. Some people even pointed at the artillery fire in the 973 Highland and shouted loudly and discussed.

This is how people's attention is. When there are more obvious goals in front of them, they often ignore the dangers under their noses.

“In one row!”

“The second row is in place!”

“Three rows are in place!”

...

Reports came from the walkie-talkie, making me very clear about the situation in front of me even in this darkness. As the saying goes, knowing that the enemy is invincible for a hundred battles. If there is no walkie-talkie, there is no way to command the troops in such a situation like an arm.

Wars must be fast, and they must be thunder without rushing. So I ordered without thinking: "The cold gun troops will cover them, and each unit will immediately attack the designated target, ten minutes!"

"Yes!" Almost the moment the soldiers answered, the battle began.

First of all, there were a series of gunfire sounds. The sharpshooters equipped with night vision instruments showed their power at this time and accurately shot a round of bullets at the puppet army that might pose a threat to the soldiers. These puppet army included machine gun teams and mortar gunners. They could kill and injure our soldiers on a large scale in defensive warfare, so there is no doubt that the cold gun troops would solve the object.

Then before the puppet troops could react, "Boom..." a series of explosions of grenades rang out in the enemy's trenches.

Obviously, these grenades were thrown out the moment I ordered the attack, but it only exploded because of the delay of time.

The soldiers have practiced the grenades countless times during the exercise. What they practice is how to accurately drop the grenades into the enemy's trenches. All the volunteer soldiers have become veterans while playing with grenades, and they all have a foundation, so they soon learned this skill without practicing for a long time. That is, they have a tacit understanding and throw the grenades into the enemy's trenches at almost the same time.

This kind of killing effect is very obvious. Grenades can cover every section of the enemy trench very evenly, leaving the puppet army nowhere to hide. Just like what I see now, the fire light generated when the grenade explodes completely outlines the shape of the enemy trench in the dark. In addition, the power of the grenade explosion in the semi-closed space of the trench will also increase, so it is difficult for the puppet army inside to fail to die.

The puppet troops on the first line of defense were easily solved by the soldiers. In the past, when the volunteers should have blew the charge, they shouted "Kill!" and rushed towards the enemy's top position with a red flag. However, the tactics of the 7th Company that I trained had changed. They no longer attacked as loudly as before, but they all held their guns and hugged, looking for targets while covering each other's attack on the enemy's positions. From time to time, they also reported the situation with the cold gun troops behind them through walkie-talkies.

When encountering a difficult target, the combat troops no longer rush forward and use their lives to pile up as before. Instead, they find cover on the spot and report the target position to the soldiers of the Cold Gun Army through the intercom. The Cold Gun Army can solve the problem, and if it is difficult to solve, the combat troops and the Cold Gun Army cooperate with each other. For example, several sharpshooters lock the enemy's trenches and cover the combat troops to rush forward to throw grenades.

To be honest, such a charge is indeed not as fast as the traditional charge of volunteer soldiers, but it can maximize the role of each soldier, and at the same time, it can maximize the power of the weapons in their hands through their cooperation. From the entire battle, such a charge can actually achieve the best efficiency.

I raised my sniper rifle and looked forward. I saw that the crisscrossing trenches were full of volunteer soldiers advancing alternately. Every time they arrived at a trenches, they would throw a row of grenades into the trenches in groups. Occasionally, a few puppet soldiers would pop up and shoot at the soldiers a few times, but most of them were solved by sharpshooters who had already prepared.

However, the puppet army was worthy of fighting on the battlefield. Although we were caught off guard and collapsed quickly before we could figure out what the situation was, the puppet army on the top of the mountain still organized resistance in time.

After several flares hit the position, it was bright all around it, but at this time we were too close to the top of the mountain. The flares illuminated us and also illuminated the puppet army itself. The sharpshooter holding the night vision device in his hand closed his eyes and rested, and it happened that we sharpshooters who were not equipped with night vision devices were working.

Moreover, there were more sharpshooters who were not equipped with night vision devices. The soldiers would not miss this great opportunity. They raised their guns to aim at the puppet troops that were emerging from the top of the mountain. They shot randomly, "Bang bang...", and in just a moment, they solved all the main targets in sight, and instantly beat the puppet troops to the point of being stunned.

There are often one or two snipers with good shooting skills on the battlefield, and now we have more than thirty sharpshooters as soon as we get up. This is a large number of shots, and in just a short while, we successfully suppress the enemy's firepower. The warriors' extremely high hit rate immediately made the enemy tremble and trembled like an aura to make the enemy breathless.
Chapter completed!
