Scheme

Grenades were thrown out one by one, and explosions sounded in front of the position, and corpses were blown away all over the place... In an instant, blood splattered on the battlefield, and corpses, weapons and equipment were piled up in a mess, like a garbage dump that had not been disposed of for many years.

The US troops were crowded into each other and completely lost their ability to resist. Even though they were elite troops of the US military, even though they were all soldiers who had been through battle, at this time, they still had no ability to control the situation and left a large area of ​​corpses in panic and retreated to the foot of the mountain.

In this case, retreating is wise. If you persist here, there will be only one result, that is death. The so-called defeat is like a mountain and now!

597.9 Every warrior on the 597.9 Many of their comrades died in the hands of the enemy, and they had long hated them. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could they let them go easily? Grenades, bullets, and "museums" chased the US military without mercy, creating many corpses for them, and chasing them to the foot of the mountain and escape from our sight. Then they gave up.

"Good fight! Beautiful fight!" As soon as the enemy retreated, Miao Huaizhi opened his big mouth, which was darkened by the smoke, and laughed!

"I'm talking about Platoon Leader Miao!" Gao Yongxiang, who loves and Miao Huaizhi, smiled and said, "What you said should be the evaluation given to us by the superiors, right? Who said that he was 'Who played well and beautifully'?"

"Then, that..." Miao Huaizhi was told by Gao Yongxiang, and hesitated and replied unconvincedly: "Then this battle is good! After destroying so many Japanese devils, we basically have no casualties! We fight well, and we can't even talk about it?"

"Platform Leader Miao is right!" Li Baocheng continued: "If you fight poorly, you must reflect. If you fight well, you should praise you. We must not only exert the spirit of criticism and self-criticism, but also exert the spirit of self-praise! This battle is indeed good! It severely hit the arrogance of the US 187th Airborne Regiment, let them know the power of our volunteer soldiers, and let them understand that as long as there is one person on the position, they will never let them occupy our position easily!"

"Yes! Never let them occupy our positions!"

"The person is in the position!"

As soon as Li Baocheng finished speaking, the soldiers clenched their fists and expressed their determination.

"But I want to say..." Li Baocheng changed his tone and said to me again: "The reason why this battle can be fought like this is more due to the Chief of Staff! Look at the enemy..."

Pointing at the corpse in front of the position, Li Baocheng continued: "We know the combat effectiveness of the 187th Airborne Regiment. If the Chief of Staff had not used clever tricks and calm commands, this battle would not have been like this!"

"Yes! The Chief of Staff is in good command!"

"It's time to report the credit to the Chief of Staff!"

"There is no need to repay merit!" I shook my head and said, "Comrades! The situation is very serious now, and the enemy is not a fool. They suffered a loss and could not get eggs again! So..."

"So in order to preserve our strength, we must have someone to always stand on the position! Don't let the enemy have an opportunity!" Before I could finish speaking, Li Baocheng snatched this topic.

I know what Li Baocheng means. He doesn't want me to be this bad guy, nor does he want to destroy my "glorious" image in the minds of the soldiers.

As the saying goes, "One sings a white face and the other sings a red face." Most people think that this is usually used when interrogating prisoners, but in fact, it is often the case in the command of the army. The two commanders in the army are often strict and gentle, and the other is to seize the shortcomings without regard for face. They are scolding each other. The other is to do ideological work slowly...

It is obviously the same on the 597.9 high ground. I am the one who is blushing, because I always think about how to protect the soldiers and how to reduce their casualties, although this is always unsatisfactory. Li Baocheng is the one who is blushing, defending the position regardless of the casualties of the soldiers. He will do this.

"Comrades! American imperialism is much more cunning than we imagined!" Li Baocheng continued: "They want to rely on the cooperation of the plane to easily seize our superficial positions. In order to smash the enemy's conspiracy, we need ten soldiers to guard the positions. The task of these ten soldiers is to block the charge of the US troops when the large troops retreat into the tunnel, so that they will not allow them to easily occupy our positions. Perhaps they have to bombard the enemy's planes until our troops come out of the tunnel to reinforce!"

"Company Commander, let me get on!"

"I'm the one!"

As soon as Li Baocheng finished speaking, the soldiers all raised their hands and rushed to Li Baocheng to sign up.

"Take it slow! Comrades!" Li Baocheng nodded and said, "This mission is very dangerous. Perhaps the casualty rate is very high. We only have more than seventy people, so everyone must be prepared for sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice is nothing!" Miao Huaizhi replied: "Look at the Americans who died under our guns. Even if we become martyrs now, we will be able to do it!"

"Do you think this is gambling!" Gao Yongxiang replied angrily: "The Chief of Staff has said it long ago, no? Our purpose is to defend the position, not to kill more enemies!"

"Then... if all the enemies are killed, no one will come to steal the position, right?"

Although Miao Huaizhi's answer was not very reliable, it made some sense when he heard it suddenly. Even Gao Yongxiang didn't know how to answer it. It only made the other soldiers laugh.

Seeing the soldiers accepting this death mission so easily, I felt a little more emotion in my heart. Although I had guessed it long ago and got used to their style, it was still difficult to adapt to my own concept of survival.

"Let's do this!" After a while of laughter, Li Baocheng ordered: "There are exactly eleven people in the platoon leader. I'll leave this first round of garrison mission to you in the second platoon!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Gao Yongxiang responded excitedly.

"Platform Commander Gao!" Seeing that Li Baocheng had settled down, I explained to Gao Yongxiang: "You will take the soldiers to change their equipment later. Because you must station one position one by one, the firepower cannot be weak. All of them are replaced with submachine guns, machine guns, etc., with more ammunition and grenades. And set a target position for each soldier, starting from the No. 6 position on the left wing to the No. 14 position on the right wing, there are a total of eight frontier positions. Each position must be arranged to be stationed by one or two soldiers. It is best to arrange a few people to move, fight here and there, and cause the enemy the illusion that our troops have not retreated. After making these preparations, stand by in the tunnel. When you hear the order, come up to change defenses with the soldiers in the position, and move quickly. Once... Once... Once the enemy plane is determined, it will be bombed, and the tunnel is allowed to be withdrawn!"

The last sentence is actually me who is lying to myself. Because no one knows that if the enemy plane is about to be bombed, even the gods will come and withdraw the tunnel.

Gao Yongxiang, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, certainly knew this, but he nodded and responded: "Yes! Please Chief of Staff, please don't worry, our second platoon will definitely complete the task!"

As he said that, he waved his hand and took more than a dozen soldiers from the second row back to the tunnel and prepared to go.

I looked up at the sky, but soon I realized that the sky above the 597.9 highland was always gray, and I couldn't tell when it would get dark, so I took out my pocket watch again.

It's still an hour before darkness. After fighting in Shangganling for so long, when the darkness will come, it will always be a big deal for me, the commander, so I can always estimate it accurately. But unlike in the past, I have never been as eager as today, hoping that the moment of darkness will come, and I have never felt that time passes slowly like today. I hope that my method can make these seventy soldiers persevere until that moment!

"Chief of Staff!" Just as I was thinking, Li Baocheng reminded from the side: "The American devils are coming!"

Hearing this, I quickly focused my attention in front of the position. The US military did not waste a minute and launched an attack on our position again. They were anxious to capture our position before it was dark. In addition, I think they were also angry and angry at the heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties just now. This time, they were eager to come up to take revenge by the way they coordinated the ground and air to avenge!

Still like last time, the US military stopped halfway up the mountain and began to build fortifications. So, like last time, I deliberately shouted to retreat loudly to the soldiers, not even a word changed, and it was still: "Comrades! The American plane is here! All retreat to the tunnel..."

I think those Americans will definitely scold them below: "Damn, these red guys have deceived us once and wanted to deceive us the second time! Think we are fools!"

However, how could they understand the profoundness and profoundness of our Chinese nation’s culture? This time I played with him.

"Chief of Staff! Don't you need to order Platoon Commander Gao and others to come up to take the defense?" Li Baocheng asked in confusion while running.

"No need!" I shook my head: "This time they will definitely let the plane bomb the position. Let's wait for the plane to bomb before coming up!"

"Oh!" Li Baocheng quickly understood, but he still felt something was wrong, so he turned around and arranged two observation posts on the position.

I didn't stop it, because everything is in case. If there is a smart American army who sends a small team to test it before bombing, then my reputation will be no longer guaranteed in this life. But those two observation posts... Alas! I still don't think about it anymore! For the entire battle and risks, the two observers are really nothing, but I have never adapted to this.

Sure enough, in just a moment, the whistling of planes and the strange whistling of bombs came from the sky.

"Boom..." A violent shock came from the head. Although the sound was not as dense as artillery bombing, it was obviously much larger than the shells. This can be seen from the large pieces of earth and rocks falling from the top of the tunnel, and each loud noise would make the tunnel shake along with the ground, just like a strong earthquake. There was even a small section of tunnel that could not resist the vibration and collapsed. Fortunately, there was no casualties.

More than ten minutes later, as soon as the sound of bombing above my head stopped, I led the soldiers out of the tunnel.

Although the bombing time was not long, the outside world seemed to have changed one by one. Large pits several meters deep appeared in front of us. Some places protrude and some places were sinking, and the entire terrain changed a lot. The moment we walked out, we almost couldn't believe that this was the 597.9 highland we were familiar with.

Fortunately, we have been in this high ground for nearly a month and are aware of every position here. Moreover, this is also during the day, so it does not affect our entry into the position.

I climbed to the top of the mountain with my hands and feet and saw that the situation above was similar to what I saw just now. It was blown up in a mess, with bullet craters overlapping everywhere. Some soldiers scratched their heads and were stunned when they came up, because the entire position they were responsible for garrisoning had been blown into a big pit by the US planes...

However, the craters on the top of the mountain are obviously much less than those on the backscene. I think this should be the reason why the US pilots were worried about bombing their own people by mistake. It is difficult to accurately grasp the bounce point on high-speed aircraft, so they had to lower the bounce point as much as possible, so it is not surprising that this situation will occur.

Fortunately, the Nine position has not been hit by such a murderous move. Then again, the Nine position is the 597.9 high ground, and if there is a bomb that happens to fall here, it will not be a big pit, but it should have collapsed.

The last time they suffered a lot, the US military was much more cautious in the charge this time. Isn't this? Their large troops were still staying in the temporary shelter halfway up the mountain, or they set up cranes and mortars to carry out cover tasks. They only sent small troops to test. After the small troops rushed forward for a distance, they then divided a small troops to follow as the second echelon.

This method is wise. The area of ​​the mountaintop position is not large, and no matter how many troops come up, it will not play a big role. Apart from causing greater casualties and chaos to themselves, it will basically be of little help to the battle situation. If they had thought of using this method to charge, they would not have suffered the last time they had suffered a crushing defeat.

This also made me realize that the next time, I would have to send Gao Yongxiang and the others to the position to force me. Because before the bombing, the US military would also likely send small troops to conduct a tentative charge. If I had played the empty city plan at that time...

"Fight!" With my order, the battle started again. What's different from the past is that we are now facing the charge of small enemy troops. Their purpose is not actually to capture our position. Of course, their ultimate goal is also this, but at this moment, they want to know if there is anyone defending our position on the top of our mountain.

So the battle was not fierce. We only threw a row of grenades at the enemy and fired a machine gun for a while. The US military slammed down a large area. Then we fired a lot of guns at us for a random shot and then retreated outside the attack range of our grenades. Then the second echelon charged at us again under the cover of machine guns and mortars.

It is easy to repel their charge. Although the small army charge is much more flexible than the dense formation charge, the impact force is not as strong as the dense charge, so the pressure on the soldiers has also been reduced a lot.

But the pressure in my heart was getting heavier and heavier.

The so-called ships are difficult to turn around. Although the impact of the dense formation is strong, it is not easy to retreat. The charge of small troops is just the opposite. I think this is also a change made by the US military to adapt to the coordination with the Air Force. The flexibility of small troops' charge allows them to withdraw from dangerous areas almost a few minutes before the plane drops bombs.

Therefore, it is difficult for me to grasp the time when the large army retreats to the tunnel. If it retreats early, Gao Yongxiang's ten people may not be able to withstand the enemy's attack, even if they are just a tentative attack from the small army. If it retreats late, it means that we will be bombed on the top of the mountain...

Originally, we only needed to see the US military retreat to judge that their plane was coming soon. But now they fought and retreated like this. We had no way of knowing whether they were really retreating or fake retreating! The so-called soldiers never got tired of cheating, it seems that the American also learned this trick! It is said that the American has a strong learning ability, but now it seems that it is true.

Fortunately, I still have a way out. I raised my telescope and looked at the position where the US military placed the signal board. This move is called to respond to changes with the same change. No matter how you change, if you want to command the plane in the sky, you must move the signal board after all!

So I did nothing, letting the Americans rush up again and again, and letting the soldiers shoot machine guns next to me, I held up my telescope and quietly observed the movements of the enemy in the direction of the signal board.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw that the signal board was moved again, so I quickly turned around and ordered: "Order Gao Yongxiang's troops to come up!"

"Yes!" The correspondent responded, ran a few steps immediately, waved the flag in his hand a few times in the direction of the tunnel.

This is a secret code that we agreed with Gao Yongxiang in advance. The purpose is to allow Gao Yongxiang's troops to exchange defenses as quickly as possible.

Gao Yongxiang's troops were not slow and were familiar with the terrain. As soon as a dozen people rushed out of the tunnel, they were divided into eight directions and ran towards the eight positions on the front. As soon as they entered the position, they raised their submachine guns and machine guns in their hands, and attacked the small group of US troops who were still tempted to charge in front of the position.

Then with my order, the soldiers who were originally stationed on the position were like a tide, hugging and running towards the entrance of the tunnel.

When passing by Gao Yongxiang, I paused for a moment and patted his shoulder. The young man smiled at me with his dry and cracked lips, as if saying, "Don't worry! I won't let the position fall into the hands of the enemy!"
Chapter completed!
