The sound of artillery began to sound at 2 a.m. We can clearly feel that the sound of artillery in our army is not as "shocking" as that of the US military. In addition, since the war started, our army has basically lost contact with the 597.9 and 537.7 highlands. The coordinates used by the artillery were also the height of the position surveyed a few days ago. At this time, these two highlands had been cut by the US military's artillery shells for more than one meter, so many of the artillery shells were not hit in the correct position.

This can be heard from the vibrations coming from above our heads and the roar outside the tunnel. If the bombing of the US military is compared to a storm, then the bombing of our military can only be regarded as a timely rain at best.

However, I think this sudden bombardment still left the US military at a loss. Since the war started, the US military has invested a lot of money to block the connection between Shangganling and the rear, and even blocked the connection between Shangganling and the rear with firepower. In this case, they took it for granted that our army could no longer implement large-scale infantry and artillery coordination. But our army's current reaction proved that they were wrong with their actions.

I looked out of the tunnel entrance and knew that the correspondent's report was indeed correct. Although the intensity of the earth and rocks that exploded from the shells outside could not be compared with the bombing of the US military, it was by no means something that the dozen mountain cannons in the hands of Captain Zhang. This means that the US military's attack on Shangganling did attract the attention of the division headquarters, which sent us all kinds of support. Unfortunately, the superiors always believed that the US military's attack on Shangganling was just a feint, so they still provided reinforcements at a limited level, and the troops in other directions remained unmoved.

I think this is also the reason why the bombardment is not ideal enough!

"Tutu!" Just as I was thinking about it, two red signal flares rose into the sky and the artillery fire began to extend.

I immediately waved my hand behind me, and immediately two soldiers blew the small trumpets, and the soldiers crawled out of the tunnel entrance like a gust of wind.

Instead of walking in front, I followed carefully behind the soldiers with my sniper rifle. From time to time, I raised my gun and observed the enemy's position through the scope for a while.

It’s not that I’m afraid of death, but because I can’t be sure whether the US sniper died under my gun.

If that guy named George was not dead, then his main goal would of course be me. The result of my step ahead would not have any impact on the entire battle situation except that he could easily solve me.

Although I did this, it was a bit like using the bodies of the soldiers to cover myself up, but I had to do so.

The reason is very simple, that is the reality of the battlefield.

The reality is that I can't die. If I die, the US snipers will kill each other without any scruples. Otherwise, even if the US snipers are still alive, they will not dare to take action easily because they consider whether I am hiding in the dark and staring at him.

I followed the soldiers forward, and sometimes even yelled a few times as they were. More than a year of experience on the battlefield told me that if a sniper stares in the dark, the most taboo thing is to show that is different from other people. For example, yelling at the soldiers, and looking for some seemingly advantageous positions to set up rifles. The result of this is undoubtedly telling the enemy's sniper: I am an important person, shoot me!

"Kill!" The soldiers roared all the way up to the top of the mountain. The US military's resistance was very small, and only a few sporadic gunfires came from the top of the mountain. I think this is mainly due to our army's artillery attacks.

Americans have always paid attention to life, and American soldiers as part of the Americans are of course no exception. In addition, they have no time to build any fortifications on Shangganling that can withstand artillery. Once our army starts bombardment, it is natural for the US military to withdraw from its position. In the words of US officers, that is, they will not let soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices on hills without fortifications.

So I am not surprised by the US military's performance. What I am surprised by is that at this time, the US military would fire at least a few shells or a few flares, but this time there was nothing. Even the enemies who shot on the top of the mountain had just fired a few shots and disappeared without a trace.

So we did not attack the top position at all, position No. 2, position No. 8, position No. 4... the inner positions were taken one by one by one by one by one. But I felt something was wrong. These Americans seemed to be afraid that we would not come up! Could it be... there was a fraud?

Thinking of this, I didn’t care whether I would reveal my identity, so I hurriedly ordered: “All units, return to the tunnel immediately!”

But it's too late!

Almost at the same time I ordered, more than a dozen flares suddenly exploded in the sky, with all directions, and some even came from the direction of our tunnel.

The flares instantly shone the surroundings into paleness, and the volunteer soldiers who were charging were clearly exposed to the light, and the dense gunfire sounded immediately.

I didn't want to fall to the ground and roll over. Then I rolled into a stone. Rows of bullets ran around the ground like poisonous snakes. With a few "popping" sounds, several soldiers immediately fell into a pool of blood.

The volunteer soldiers are worthy of being veterans who have experienced many battles. Without waiting for my order, they all scattered and lie on the ground and raised their weapons in their hands to fight back. But the enemy was helpless, and they were prepared in advance, and in the dark we were in the light, the battle situation was one-sided.

"Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang, who led the team with me, lay on the ground and crawled a few steps, leaned against me and shouted: "Chief of Staff, we are ambushed by the enemy! Retreat!"

"Damn it!" Looking at the soldiers around me who were lying under the guns of the enemy, I couldn't help but grit my teeth and secretly hated me.

These Americans can actually arrange ambush circles calmly under the bombardment of our army's artillery fire. I think it was the US Rangers who were the ones who underestimated them. I don't know who organized the trap of the US military, and they really had two tricks. Isn't this? I took advantage of the fact that we were weak when we were bombarding and deliberately set aside several frontier positions to attract us to the hook, but they had already arranged firepower on other positions and sent a team to cover our way back to the tunnel...

"Chief of Staff! Hurry up and give orders!" Seeing that I didn't answer, Gao Yongxiang looked at the direction from the tunnel and couldn't help but urged him in a hurry: "If you're late, you won't be in a hurry. The enemy is surrounding our retreat!"

"No! We won't go back!" I immediately ordered: "Pass the order, do everything according to the original plan, and restore the surface position at all costs!"

"Chief of Staff..." Hearing my words, Gao Yongxiang couldn't help but look at me in surprise.

"Execute the order!" I didn't have time to defend Gao Yongxiang and shouted at him: "Tell the soldiers that the enemy is not large in number on the position, but they will soon have a large number of reinforcements. As long as we quickly restore the surface position, we can condescendingly stop their counterattack!"

"Yes!" Gao Yongxiang responded, gritted his teeth and conveyed the order.

The situation is very obvious now. Most people's first reaction after being surrounded, including Company Commander Gao Yongxiang, retreated. As the commander of the US military, he would not have expected that the US military would not allow us to return to the tunnel, because once we return to the tunnel, they would be helpless against us. If we cannot solve us, they would not be able to let go of attacking the Five Sacred Mountains.

That's why they set up an ambush here regardless of the casualties of the bombardment, hoping to take advantage of our counterattack to annihilate us on the top of the mountain position in one fell swoop.

According to this strategic goal, if I were the commander of the US military, I would put most of my troops on the way to withdraw from the tunnel. They would intercept and use firepower to control every tunnel entrance, so there is only one possibility for our retreat, that is, the entire army will be wiped out.

On the contrary, the US commanders would definitely think we would retreat. In addition, on the front of Shangganling, there was the entire 1st Division of the 7th Division as reinforcements. They did not think we would attack head-on, and they were not worried that we would attack head-on, so they had the least force on the front.

I boldly infer that the US military has very few troops on the front because they are not enough. First, if too much force is invested on the top of this mountain, casualties will naturally not be small after a bombardment; the other is that only elite troops such as the Rangers can perform this task in the US military. The Rangers have only more than one hundred people in total...

But all of this is just my guess after all, and even if I guess it right, once we fail to take back several frontal positions in time, we still cannot escape the ending of annihilation.

At this moment, I also thought about how much responsibility I would bear after I issued this order. If it was proven that my order was wrong later, I would most likely be responsible for the soldiers who died on the battlefield. In other words, if I was wrong, even if I could successfully walk out of this battlefield, I would still be unable to escape...

Fuck! What do you do if you think so much! Whether you can get out of this battlefield is still a question! Still thinking about the future!

Thinking of this, I grabbed my rifle and shouted at the soldiers: "Machine gun, mortar! Firepower suppress position No. 11!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and two turntable machine guns and a mortar were quickly transferred.

"Dadada..." With the sound of gunfire, the fire from the No. 11 position was hoarse in a few seconds!

"Squad 1 comes with me!" I waved at the soldiers and rushed towards the No. 11 position with more than 20 soldiers.

Position No. 11 is located in the upper left corner of Position No. 2. The reason I chose it as the offensive target is because it is located at the far left end of the 597.9 Highland. This means that Position No. 11 is only covered by Position No. 14 on the right, and our attack route has a large force and is on the dead corner of Position No. 14, so Position No. 11 is relatively isolated.

"Run!"

"kill!"

...

The soldiers roared and rushed towards the No. 11 position. The enemy is worthy of being the elite US troops, and they cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding. As soon as they saw us charging towards the No. 11 position, the machine gun forts on other positions immediately fired rows of bullets at us.

With a few muffled groans, two volunteer soldiers were immediately shot and fell to the ground. The blood splashed out from the martyrs dyed the military uniforms of their comrades beside them red. But all of this did not stop the soldiers. They also knew that it was a critical moment, and they all rushed forward with bullets and shells.

"Bang!" I ran forward quickly, and raised the rifle in my hand and fired a bullet.

The US military on the No. 11 position also realized the crisis. They ignored the suppression of our firepower and desperately emerged from the position and raised the machine gun at us. Unfortunately, the light of the flare reflected from his helmet exposed his position, so I pulled the trigger at him without hesitation.

With a "bang!", another bullet flew out of my gun chamber.

A US military had just raised his submachine gun and fired a few bullets, but I shot it down with one shot. The long magazine of the m3 submachine gun forced him to poke his entire head out and shoot at us. The flames at the muzzle just showed me the target.

With a harsh roar of "beep!", the soldiers stopped at the same time.

This is the sound of the small speaker used by the volunteer soldiers to contact. We all know what it means when it sounds. Sure enough, just as we were lying down, we saw several grenades emitting white smoke flying to the enemy's position in the darkness.

Then there was a lot of noises like "boom...", and the soldiers shouted and rushed to the No. 11 position.

When I followed the soldiers into the enemy's position, I saw the bodies of five Americans lying in the machine gun fort, and I knew that my previous analysis would not be wrong. On the various positions directly in front of me, the US military had indeed arranged only a small number of troops.

Before the soldiers could sit down and take a break, I immediately ordered: "Machine gun cover! Position No. 14!"

"Yes!" The two machine gunners immediately set up machine guns on the sandbags built by the enemy, and bullets poured towards the No. 14 position like raindrops.

Position No. 14 and Position No. 11 form a triangle. The enemy originally occupied two firepowers in Position No. 14 and Position No. 11 to suppress our Position No. 2. Now that we have taken back the No. 11 position, it turns into the firepower of our position with two positions to suppress the enemy's one position. In addition, the distance between several positions is very close, and in a short while, the enemy on Position No. 14 was busy dealing with it.

"Go!" I waved at the soldiers, and soon more than a dozen soldiers snatched out of the machine gun fort and rushed towards the enemy's position.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen soldiers ran out of the No. 2 position where Gao Yongxiang was located and launched an attack on the enemy's No. 14 position at the same time.

This is the tacit understanding between volunteer soldiers when fighting. This tacit understanding is not only reflected in the soldiers cooperating with each other in the war, but also in the cooperation of grassroots commanders in command.

After fighting in the Volunteer Army for more than a year, what impressed me deeply was not the mutual cooperation between comrades and comrades, and between the troops. Many times, this mutual cooperation requires a considerable self-sacrifice. For example, actively covering other troops with retreat, and for example, feint attacks attracting the enemy's firepower...

The Volunteer Army lacks modern communication equipment, so it is very difficult to coordinate with each other. However, on the battlefield, the various units of the Volunteer Army can often advance and retreat in moderation like a whole. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of communication equipment that the Volunteer Army has developed this tacit understanding.

Just like this time, Gao Yongxiang and I had no appointment at all, and I didn't even explain the next goal to him, but he was able to distribute some troops to assist in the attack at this appropriate time.

Amid the sound of machine guns and grenades, the US military's position No. 14 was quickly occupied by our army. The following battle was no longer necessary for me to command. The soldiers spontaneously used the occupied positions as base and cooperated with the surrounding soldiers, and pushed down the US military's positions one by one with lightning speed, like a bone platoon. But in a while, we restored all the surface positions. Not only that, we also seized some American equipment from the enemy's machine gun fort.

All of this process took only ten minutes, and the speed was so fast that the US reinforcements had just climbed to the middle of the mountain. But as we know, the US military was very taboo to fight night battles. The soldiers only swept a few shuttles at them with machine guns, and they retreated like a tide.

And the Rangers who surrounded us may still be waiting for us to go back!

"Chief of Staff!" Gao Yongxiang walked up to me with a sweat on his head, panting and asked, "What should we do next?"

I know what Gao Yongxiang said. Although we have successfully occupied the position on the top of the mountain, the US Rangers are still lurking behind us like a thorn.

"No need to worry!" I replied easily: "The enemy did not dare to shell the shell because there were rangers lurking on our high ground. The division headquarters would also send reinforcements to us. At that time, the rangers would soon fall into a situation of two sides and they would withdraw soon!"

"Well, then do we want it..."

I shook my head. This was indeed a good opportunity to annihilate the US Rangers, but the few ammunition and casualties left in our army were no longer allowed to do so.

At the same time, I finally confirmed that the US sniper called George had died at my gun last night. Otherwise, I would have died many times tonight.

Tonight, the Rangers were willing to set up ambush in our high grounds at the risk of shelling. Perhaps part of them was to avenge George. Or to regain their Rangers' face, or to boost the morale of being hit...
