Chapter 28 Happy Time

After sleeping in the tunnel several times, I was awakened by holding it in my arms. Every time I woke up, I felt dizzy, nausea, and chest tightness... Later, the uncomfortable feeling made me no longer dare to sleep. I knew that this was because of the thin air in the tunnel, so I had to drink water constantly to make myself feel more comfortable, but not long after, the pot of water had almost finished drinking. In order to keep a few sips of water for myself to replenish water before the battle, I had to hold back and put the pot aside and wait for the night to come.

The tunnel was pitch black, except for the sound of enemies occasionally digging soil and throwing a few bombs outside, there was nothing. We stayed in the tunnel as if we were isolated from the world, and we didn't know whether it was day or night outside now. Fortunately, the pocket watch given to me by Captain Chu, and fortunately, it was not broken yet. It seemed that the products in the past had good quality, unlike modern products that were mostly tofu. So it became the only thing we had to do with the outside world, otherwise we would not be able to grasp the time of action.

Time passed by minute by minute, and I shone the pocket watch countless times with a flashlight. Finally, I waited until half past 11. I stuffed a few sips of fried noodles into my mouth, then drank the water in the kettle, stood up and waved the flashlight at the soldiers, and ordered: "Everyone has it, be ready for battle!"

The soldiers resting on the tunnel wall had been waiting for this moment, and when they heard my order, they couldn't wait to stand up. Under the guidance of my flashlight, they drilled into the narrow passage one by one.

In the passage that was only half a person high, he walked for a long time before entering the tunnel on the incline. Deputy Commander Liu had been waiting there.

"Captain Cui!" As soon as I saw me, Deputy Commander Liu, came up to report: "Because time is tight, I only have to dig three tunnels!"

"Enough!" I nodded and responded, turned around and said to the people following behind me: "Company Commander Wu, Company Commander Liu, the high ground that you two companies are responsible for is the farthest. You and my team will go out first, and the other two units will go out in the second batch. Be sure to be concealed and not let the enemy discover it. You must find the right place. Don't make the wrong call!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and took their own troops to the entrance of the tunnel to prepare for going.

The team led by Li Guoqiang and I were alone in the tunnel in the middle. Because we were afraid of being discovered by the enemy, the tunnel entrance had not been dug out yet. Now the soil layer on the tunnel entrance was like a layer of paper and it was broken with just one poke. At this time, two volunteer soldiers were waiting in the tunnel with shovels in their hands, waiting for me to give orders.

"Captain Cui!" I don't know when Jiang Chunzeng and several chiefs of staff also came out of the passage. He patted my shoulder and said, "We old guys won't invite you to fight. You will be dragging your back when you go out. But don't worry, just leave the tunnel to us! Even if we throw this old bone here, we will protect the safety of the wounded and the regiment headquarters in the tunnel. You can feel at ease to teach those American devils a lesson outside!"

"Yes!" I couldn't help but salute to these old soldiers.

I looked at the pocket watch in my hand again, and it was just midnight, so I turned off the flashlight in my hand and ordered: "Start action!"

The soldiers guarding the entrance of the tunnel did not say a word, picked up the shovel and dug a big hole in just a few strokes. The first thing that entered the tunnel was a fresh air, and all the soldiers in the tunnel took a few deep breaths. I also enjoyed it greedily, and my head gradually became clearer and clearer.

Li Guoqiang pulled out the two box cannons that were not on his waist and ran ahead. He carefully poked his head out to observe for a while, then turned around and nodded to us to show safety, and then drilled out of the tunnel without saying a word.

I also couldn't wait to follow Li Guoqiang behind him with a gun. The first feeling was that I felt cold all over my body and light all over. The sultry and turbid air formed a sharp contrast with the outside world, which made me feel like I had walked into an air-conditioned room.

But I didn't dare to be careless, and immediately observed the situation outside.

There was no gunshot or cannon sound, only the occasional laughter and scolding of the US military from the top of the mountain came from the laughter and screams of the US military. What surprised me was that the surroundings were not as dark as I thought. The US military had already set up dozens of searchlights on the top of the mountain, and dozens of dazzling cylindrical light columns were shaking around. Fortunately, they were all facing our army's reverse slope position.

Seeing this, my heart couldn't help but feel tight. At this time, as long as we make a little noise and the Americans shine the searchlight on the right slope, then our plan will never be successful again. So we didn't dare to think too much, and we took the soldiers to the foot of the mountain with our waists.

No matter what, let’s go into the blind spot of the searchlight first.

Fortunately, the soldiers were all veterans, and the silent march in the dark was also the strength of the volunteers, so they quickly moved to the side of the high ground without any danger, and then ran towards the designated high ground.

The high ground we are responsible for is the high ground that originally belonged to the People's Army's position on the flanks. It was also one of the two machine gun positions that killed and injured our army during the war yesterday. Therefore, the soldiers had long hated these Americans to the core, and Li Guoqiang even secretly gave the soldiers no living order. Although I heard some wind at that time, I pretended to be asleep and ignored them.

Sometimes whether to keep a living or not depends on the situation. In this situation, we will end up being wiped out by accident. If an American throws a grenade on his ammunition depot, the consequences are not something we can bear, so I actually have no objection to this order.

After walking for a while, just as he was about to cross the valley between the high ground, Li Guoqiang, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and waved to me. The troops behind me were also consciously sending signals one by one, and the entire army stopped silently.

I leaned over and saw that I was shocked. There were hundreds of US military tents arranged in the open ground in front of me, with more than a dozen light and heavy tanks lined up around them, with the turret covers open, and the muzzles were facing our army's back-slope position without exception. I guess the tankers were ready. Once there was a situation, they could enter the tank as quickly as possible to shoot at us who were out of the back-slope. But what they didn't expect was that we came out of the front-slope and then went around behind them.

"Wang Xianru!" Li Guoqiang waved to a short soldier behind him. The soldier took several soldiers up without saying a word. Seeing them skillfully climbing onto the tank and drilling into the tank compartment, and then drilling out again soon, I couldn't help but wonder. Our volunteer soldiers did not have time bombs or remote-controlled bombs. What were they doing when they entered like this?

It was not until I got back to the team that I accidentally discovered that one of them was carrying a flat round thing on his back.

It was a landmine, and it was a landmine that emerged from the US military's positions. During the third battle, I was almost blown into the sky by that thing, so I had a deep impression of it.

Fortunately, they would think of it and put the mines in the cab of the enemy tank. I don’t know what the US troops would feel when they stepped on mines in the tank compartment, and their own mines... But I don’t think so, because the US military’s TNT mines are very powerful, let alone explode in a closed space like a tank. So if you really have any thoughts, only the King of Hell will hear them.

Then we easily avoided the US sentinels and walked through the US camp to continue to move towards our destination. It was not difficult to do this. The US sentinels were smoking and chatting in pairs, which made us easily discover their position. They also focused all their attention on the light column of the backside searchlight, and the US troops in the tent slept like dead pigs, which made me just need a little calmness and courage to come to the machine gun position we were going to attack.

There are searchlights on the machine gun positions, but they are also illuminating our army's back-sloping positions. This makes me feel relieved, because with searchlights illuminate one place, the darker the rest of the place will appear, and the less the US military will focus on its own high ground, the easier it will be for us to take down this high ground.

The group climbed up the inclined surface silently, and in a short while they reached a position close to the top of the mountain.

The tall figures of the three anti-aircraft machine guns were aimed at the three directions of the high ground like several steel beasts. Their black muzzles locked tightly on every road at the foot of the mountain. The condescending look seemed to tell us that it could destroy anything that wanted to pass through the road.

There are two searchlights next to each anti-aircraft machine gun. At this time, its light column is shaking over our heads, making my heart beat faster. I just hope that the Americans who are turning on the light will not tremble. If this person accidentally loses his hand, we will be exposed to them as soon as the light is low.

"Hi! Brother!" The discussions between the US military on the top of the mountain were clearly heard: "Do you think those Chinese people will come out? Will they die inside?"

"I don't think so!" Another voice replied: "Those Chinese people are not so easy to deal with. If they can suffocate them to death, then we won't be able to do such a big fight!"

"The Chinese are really puzzled! These lands do not belong to them, right? Why do they still have to stay here? Even if they give up their lives, the North Koreans have retreated..."

"Brother! We can't guess what the red Chinese are thinking! They are always beyond our expectations, always standing in front of us when we least want to see them. Just like when I was hugging two women and my wife suddenly appeared in front of me!"

"Hahaha... With your Jack, I don't think your wife will spare you easily!"

"You're right! Chinese people don't know either!"

There was a burst of unrestrained laughter from the American soldiers from the top of the mountain. Although I didn't like their laughter, I agreed with this guy's point of view: when we appeared in front of them unexpectedly, of course we would not let them go easily.

I took out my pocket watch to see the time, but I couldn't help but be stunned. This pocket watch was not luminous, and my pointer could not be seen in this dark night...

Flashlight? No! The light of the flashlight will expose us, so it is almost no different from ordering a war. What should I do? If the time is too short, I am afraid that other troops will not be ready, and if the time is long, I am afraid that they will be exposed...

After thinking about it, maybe only the only way to order the war was to be launched, but how long should we estimate now? Twenty minutes or twenty-five minutes? Or can we start fighting now? Military orders are like mountains, and one minute or more may cause unexpected accidents!

Just when I was in a dilemma, the US military on the top of the mountain helped me a lot.

"Brother, what time is it now?" One of the US military might have been a little impatient to stand guard and asked casually.

Another American soldier spitted a long smoke ring and looked at his watch, and said easily: "It's twenty-eight minutes, and there is still half an hour to change shifts. What a fucking ghost place!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that there were still two minutes before the attack time! I think you can change shifts in advance, but you just need to change to the King of Hell to stand guard!

Then I didn't dare to be negligent, and slowly counted in my heart, one, two, three... But this seemed a bit like counting a sheep. When I counted to one hundred, my eyelids became heavy, and I almost lowered my head and fell asleep. So I quickly pinched my face to make myself more awake.

Finally, the time for attack has come!

"Fight!" With my order, the charge and gunfire sounded almost at the same time. The charge informed the soldiers from other high grounds to launch an attack, and the gunfire was our own, of course, including the bullets I fired.

"Bang bang..." Several gunshots were heard one after another, and the US soldiers standing behind the searchlight were shot in their heads and fell to the ground without exception. The first thing they had to do was to prevent them from turning the searchlight towards us and expose us to the muzzle of the US military. More than a dozen other US soldiers guarding in front of anti-aircraft machine guns also quickly fell under the muzzle of the soldiers.

"Kill!" With my roar, the soldiers rushed towards the top of the mountain with rifles that had already been bayonetized.

Unlike in the past, this time the soldiers did not throw grenades before charging.

Because I was worried that the grenade would detonate the ammunition in the machine gun position or break up the anti-aircraft machine gun, before the operation, I ordered the soldiers not to use grenades when attacking the high ground, only bullets and bayonets, and to use all means to protect the machine guns and ammunition on the position.

The soldiers also knew what the weapons and ammunition on this position meant to us, so they firmly executed my orders. When they attacked the top of the mountain, they first found the location of the anti-aircraft machine gun and ammunition depot. Then, without waiting for my order, they built a defense line around them, and shot and killed every American soldier who wanted to approach here without hesitation.

What's even more exaggerated is that I saw a soldier holding two box cannons in his hand... Then I quickly realized that it was Li Guoqiang. He led dozens of bayonet soldiers with bayonets and rushed into the US military camp on the top of the mountain. The box cannons in his hand were indeed like the legendary ones. The US soldiers who had just emerged from the tent stood up and screamed and fell into a pool of blood before they could even come. The soldiers behind him held the bayonets, regardless of whether there were anyone or not, just stabbed the tent in a random manner... In an instant, screams and wails sounded.

The area of ​​the top of the mountain is not large, and the US military did not expect that the position here would be attacked, so the US military guarding here was only two platoons of fifty or sixty people. Now, we were caught off guard by the 80 volunteer soldiers and had no room to fight back. The entire battle ended in just a few minutes. As expected, just like Li Guoqiang ordered, there was no survivor left. Then, to be on the safe side, Li Guoqiang led dozens of soldiers to search in the trenches and tunnels. Once the enemy was found, they would be eliminated without hesitation. Then, at the fastest speed, he built fortifications on the top of the mountain to resist the next counterattack of the US military...

"Flats! Searchlights! Ammunition! Machine Gunner... Mortars..." I didn't care what Li Guoqiang was doing, and as soon as I ran up, I gave orders to the soldiers.

This was assigned in advance. There was a chief and deputy on each high ground. The chief was responsible for organizing firepower in the machine gun position to shoot the enemy, while the deputy officer eliminated the remaining enemies and built fortifications.

The soldiers were also veterans. Under my order, they all performed their own duties, such as anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, etc., and were ready soon.

At this time, the US military had not even realized what was going on. I heard the calls of US officers from a walkie-talkie on the ground: "Eagle One, Eagle One, what's going on? Report the situation! Report the situation!"

"Send a signal!" I ignored the voice and directly learned the order to Zhang Ming standing beside me.

"Yes!" Zhang Mingxue responded, took out the flare launcher, and fired three flares into the sky with a "twist...". This was the signal we agreed with several troops in other highlands. If there was no signal flare, we had to use flares instead. The three flares meant that the highland was already in the hands of our army and were ready.

Then in a short while, three flares were fired one after another on the five high grounds around. These flares not only illuminated the shocking expressions on the faces of the US military who had just emerged from the tent at the foot of the mountain, but also illuminated the chests of the volunteer soldiers.
Chapter completed!
