Chapter 94 Weakness

The sound of cannons surged over and over, and the smoke poured straight into the tunnel from the entrance of the cave and the vent hole, making the already turbid air in the tunnel even more unbearable. In addition, the darkness in the cave was invisible, which made people feel an inexplicable pressure, especially the broken soil that kept falling from the top of the tunnel, which made me feel the urge to rush out of this dark, narrow, and closed space desperately.

Only then did I realize that hiding in the tunnel is actually a test of the psychological quality of the soldiers and a test of their will. Only then did I understand why many volunteer soldiers were crazy under the sound of the enemy's cannons...

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the sound of cannons stop, so I took a few deep breaths and found ways to relax myself. I kept myself in such a high tense state for a long time, I was afraid that the enemy's bombing would collapse before it stopped.

I don’t know how long it took, but the cannon finally stopped. I patted the warrior behind me and rushed out first. It was not because I was so brave, but because I wanted to escape from the dark space where this moment was testing my ability to withstand it.

Slapping is a code we agreed on in advance. The screaming is useless. After the enemy was bombarded, most soldiers could not hear the sound for the time being. And it was pitch black in the tunnel, so they could only rely on this simple action to signal the soldiers to rush out.

I couldn't help but relax my heart when I got out of the hole, and I felt like I was returning to the world. Although it was safer to hide in the tunnel, the psychological pressure was even greater than that outside.

It was already bright at this time. I took the soldiers to climb up the top of the mountain as fast as possible and looked down. I was shocked. The open ground at the foot of the mountain was filled with American soldiers lined up in formations, holding various weapons in their hands and rushing towards our position under the cover of tanks.

"Hey! This time the Americans are different from before!" The old squad leader couldn't help but say something unexpectedly when he saw this scene.

"What's the difference?" Hu Zi rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at it carefully for a while before asking strangely: "Isn't the same blue eyes and big nose? I don't look different?"

With a "coax!" Hu Zi's words made the soldiers laugh out loud.

I understand what the old squad leader said. In the past, the US military always let the puppet army take the lead, but this time it is not. In the past, the US military always attacked along the highway, but this time it is not. Looking at their lineup, it is obvious that they are going to advance together and compete with us for every high ground steadily.

This arrangement of the US military is undoubtedly correct.

If they still let the puppet army take the lead like before, then it is actually very easy for us to penetrate them in the rear. As long as we chase the puppet army all the way like the second battle, we can even pass through the puppet army's defense zone and penetrate into the rear of the US army without the puppet army's discovery.

If they still attack along the highway as before, even if they win all the way, they will inevitably go deep into the army and be divided and surrounded by our army.

Now, like them, led by the US military with relatively strong combat effectiveness and maintaining a continuous front to advance. If the volunteers still want to penetrate their rear to encircle, they will inevitably break through their defense line, and if they do so, they will not be discovered by them.

These are probably the names created by that guy Li Qiwei. It is undeniable that Li Qiwei is indeed a very good general. As soon as he took office, he formulated several reforms to the combat methods of the Volunteer Army, and these reforms seemed to be very effective, which immediately made the Volunteer Army a little busy.

For example, this time, no one would have expected that the US military would launch a full-scale attack so quickly, and General Peng would pull most of his troops back to the 38th parallel for rest. As a result, the front line had a serious shortage of troops and had to rush back the troops that had planned to rest.

The American soldiers trotted all the way toward the position, and the deer-skin boots were only slashing in the snow. Several tanks drove forward side by side in the front, each followed by a team of infantry, each holding guns toward our position.

Perhaps they thought that after the more than an hour of shelling, it was impossible for the few hills in front of them to be alive, so as soon as the tank stopped at the foot of the mountain, they felt relieved to cross the tank and rushed up the mountain.

If there weren't tunnels, I think they were right. The artillery fire preparations for more than an hour had already plowed the hill we guarded several times, and all the dead were overturned and buried deep underground. There was no trace of fortifications anymore. But what they could not imagine was that this time we built the fortifications behind the mountain...

"Fight!" When the US military approached, Xu Feng ordered the soldiers to pull the trigger and fire bullets at the target they had already identified. In an instant, rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, and mortars all shot at the unprepared US military.

At this time, most of the equipment in the hands of the volunteers was American. Although the soldiers still maintained their previous habit of saving bullets and did not shoot in a series of guns like the US military, they were much stronger than the previous 38-type 38-type cover, which only made the US military fall down before it could react.

I also held up my gun and pulled the trigger hard, specializing in hitting those near the messenger soldiers carrying walkie-talkies. The U.S. military commanders were hiding well, and from the outside, they could not tell which officials were officials at all, but they were used to keeping in touch with the rear at any time, so the messenger soldiers carrying walkie-talkies were following them intentionally or unintentionally, even if they were not officials, it would be much worse.

The US military was immediately stunned. They did not expect that after so long artillery preparations on the top of the mountain, there would be such a strong resistance force. What surprised them even more was that the gunshot sounded. The sound of the magazine seemed to be the m1 rifle they were holding. Originally, they had some doubts about this, but when they saw melon-shaped grenades rolling downwards, they could no longer resist the fear in their hearts and turned around and ran down the mountain.

"Retreat!" Seeing the US troops retreating down the mountain, Xu Feng also ordered to lead his troops to run towards the fortifications on the reverse slope. Several practical exercises made Xu Feng very clear about what to do.

In fact, the US military's combat will is not as bad as they have shown. In the Pacific battlefield, there were many cases of US military holding grenades and explosives dynamite and dynamite dynamite. But now they are too dependent on aircraft and cannons, and they have always attached importance to life, so they always feel that there is no need to exchange for problems that can be solved with shells and bombs. Therefore, on the Korean battlefield, the US military repeatedly experienced this kind of attack of retreating as soon as they see blood, and after retreating, it was followed by a bombardment.

Sure enough, after a while, there were bursts of machine guns and explosions behind us, and the American tanks and cannons began to show their power again. However, for us hiding on the backscene, the explosion that had been tightly pressed was no different from wasting bullets.

When the shells are low, they are blocked by the forward inclination. When they are high, they directly cross the back inclination and hit the foot of the mountain. The only things that can hit the back inclination are howitzers and mortars, which are curved ballistics, but because they can't see the target, they can only fight for a while, and the volunteers hide in the fortifications that have been constructed, there is no damage at all. At this time, the US military still doesn't know what's going on.

After a while, the guns and cannons stopped, and the US military organized a new offensive again.

"Hey! I'll say Battalion Commander Cui!" Zhao Yongxin poked his head out of the trenches and looked at the fortifications that were basically undamaged. He couldn't help but give me a thumbs up: "What's the point you've done? The American cannons can't blow us, and the tanks can't hit us. This has become a wall of iron!"

"That's all right!" Hu Zi continued on the side, "I just said that what Captain Cui thought of is definitely effective. Isn't this? Beating Americans is like playing every family like a little kid!"

"Huzi!" I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Who asked me what I did to build the fortifications here? Who said that the American devils came up here even if we couldn't fight?"

"On the contrary, it wasn't what I said anyway, I didn't say it!" Hu Zi's face turned red and refused to admit it, which made the soldiers laugh.

The outlines of the forward incline and the reverse incline can be seen on the top of the mountain are called ridge lines. The ridge lines are a must-fight for the combat of the reverse incline, because we cannot see the enemy's attack on the reverse incline, and the grassroots troops of the volunteer army basically do not have communication equipment. If you have to say anything, of course, small flags, pigeons and trumpets can barely be counted.

So we could only rely on the soldiers on the edge to observe, and then use the flags to tell us the enemy situation. For this reason, I chose a natural boulder on the edge to process it into a bunker, and asked the old squad leader to bring a squad of soldiers to station there. Because their guard position is important, he was given two submachine guns and a light machine gun. He also dug a tunnel for them alone, so that if the situation is unfavorable, they could retreat to the tunnel to protect themselves.

At this time, they were raising flags at us behind the bunker, telling us that there were two companies of US troops attacking us, and at the same time, the enemy tanks advanced along the road to attempt to penetrate into our rear.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile. It was correct for the tanks to go around our rear, because once they penetrated into our rear, our backscene surface would lose its meaning, but how could we be unprepared for such obvious loopholes? If our hill was isolated, it could easily achieve this goal. But the problem is that the dozen high grounds of the Volunteer Army are connected and supported by each other. The comrades of the 354th Regiment had already guarded the highway and laid mines and explosives on the highway, waiting for the enemy's tanks to come.

Sure enough, a burst of gunfire and explosions came from the side in a short while. The enemy's tanks were very powerful during the day, but it was harder to pass through the ambush area preset by the volunteers along the narrow highway, than climbing to the sky. It is said that the 354th Regiment had a mine clearance king. One night, he took a few comrades out and brought back dozens of mines, and could also bury these mines for the enemy. This time, the US troops who wanted to come along the highway were suffering. They never thought that what was waiting for them on the road was their own mines.

At this time, the old squad leader nervously gave us a banner, and then picked up weapons to prepare for battle. The enemy was about to come up.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the enemy emerging. It seemed that these Americans had also learned to be cautious. They must be wondering why they took down this mountain without encountering any resistance this time, so they were hesitating, hesitating, and observing.

But with all their combat experience and military training, they told them that it was important to occupy the commanding heights, so they finally climbed up.

A steel helmet wrapped around a net appeared slowly at the top of the mountain, and then another one. Soon, more and more US troops emerged in rows like mushrooms after a rain. They were all very careful. Some were hunched, some were crawling forward on the ground, and some were half kneeling and holding guns to warn... Although their postures were different, each US soldier had the same doubts in his eyes.

Most of the bunkers of the volunteers were built on natural stones and terrain, so the US military had not yet discovered the fortifications built on the backscene surface, and they were all very surprised by the sudden victory.

But the volunteers quickly resolved their doubts, and of course they were answered by bullets!

With Xu Feng's order, gunshots suddenly sounded on the backscene. Before the US military could find the position of the volunteers, they fell down in pieces. The blood-flowing corpses rolled down towards the soldiers one by one, and soon dyed the battlefield in front of them red.

Some of the fast-reacting US troops quickly set up rifles and fired back machine guns, but at this time the soldiers guarding the edges suddenly emerged and raised their submachine guns in their hands. The machine guns fired in a mess, and then threw grenades at the US troops. With a roar, the US troops on the hills made the US troops tilt around, either rolling here or there.

The sniper rifle in my hand played its role, specializing in attacking the US troops who were trying to throw their grenades down, and immediately created some unexpected "surprises" for the US troops.

"Roar!" Seeing the US military in chaos, Xu Feng ordered the soldiers to yell and rushed up the mountain. When the US military saw the situation, they immediately collapsed and turned around and ran away.

The volunteers chased the mountain, but because they rushed from the bottom of the mountain, coupled with the snow on the hillside and the blood that had already formed ice, the volunteers' charge slowed down a lot, so they could only watch the US troops disappear one by one on the top of the mountain. Although they were anxious, they had no choice but to do anything.

This time, the group of soldiers guarding the ridges were happy. Under the command of the old squad leader, they rushed out of the bunker and picked up the machine guns in their hands. The submachine guns swept at the fleeing US troops. Grenades and grenades were thrown around, making only the US troops on the other side of the mountain scream.

When our group of people climbed up the mountain and set up rifles with great difficulty, the US military had already run to the foot of the mountain, leaving only dozens of American soldiers on the hillside. It seemed that they were all done by the old squad leader. Hu Zi and others were jealous of them just watching, and they wanted to change the land with the old squad leader.

Because they were worried about enemy shelling, the soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield and retreated.

When I returned to Fortification, Hu Zi was happy when counting the magazines: "I was thinking about saving bullets, but I didn't expect that there were more bullets seized than those fired! It was a waste of worrying!"

"That's it!" Xiao Shandong also grinned: "I have also paid a lot of bullets and fired the American devils several times, but I have never been so relieved!"

"I said to Captain Cui, who taught you what this set was?" Zhao Yongxin became more and more strange as he fought. He was a smart man, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "I see why this set is like tailor-made for us? Although it seems like we have suffered a little loss when we give the high ground to the enemy! But the American cannons are completely useless!"

"That's it!" Instructor Zhao said in confusion while pressing the magazine into the rifle in his hand: "I also feel a little strange. I was thinking in my mind just now, if you want to come up with this trick, how can you fight the Americans for half a year? But Captain Cui, you will not fight the Americans for longer than us!"

"This..." I don't know how to answer when Zhao Yongxin and Instructor Zhao asked this. I can't tell him that this is the experience summarized by the volunteer soldiers after they died after they died!

"Hey, our Battalion Commander Cui still needs human education?" At this time, Hu Zi cleared the siege for me: "Company Commander Zhao, why don't you look at our army? I have many ghost ideas as if there are many Battalion Commander Cui? I still don't know how many times have you fooled those Japanese!"

"That's right!" Zhao Yongxin nodded and said, "I think it's okay to use Captain Cui's trick. It's okay to last a year or two!"

Zhao Yongxin really had some vision. I couldn't help but praise him secretly. In the stalemate war in the late period of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the volunteers used this method to force the US military to advance half a step with inferior equipment. When the ground position was lost, they drilled into the tunnel and then drilled out of the tunnel to retake the position. However, the tunnel function at that time was more, not only could prevent fire and explosion, but also anti-virus gas, etc., but this tunnel battle was not impeccable.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but remind everyone: "Comrades, the enemy suffered a great loss in the past two battles because they didn't know our arrangements. But now they know that we are building the fortifications on the back slope. Although the enemy cannons cannot be used to hit the back slope, they still have planes!"

"What are you afraid of?" Hu Zi continued, "We'll hide from the tunnel when the American plane comes!"

"It's good to hide from the tunnel!" I nodded and said, "But if we all hide in the tunnel, will the enemy take this opportunity to climb up and use a machine gun to block the tunnel entrance?"

The soldiers were all stunned when they heard this.

"Captain Cui is right!" Zhao Yongxin raised the m1 rifle in his hand and said, "Not to mention the machine gun, even if there are only three or four Americans holding rifles, we can't get out. Then we will let them do whatever they want?"

"So!" I concluded: "Comrades must move quickly. After hiding into the tunnel, you must be prepared at any time. You must rush out of the tunnel as soon as possible to unleash your troops. You must never let the Americans block us in the tunnel!"
