Chapter 55: One row! Go!

"Captain Cui!" After taking a walk, Commander Pang called me. Actually, I knew that Commander Pang had something to say to me, which was also the reason why I was walking in the end.

"Captain Cui!" Commander Pang signaled me to sit down at the table, handed me a cup of tea and said, "Do you know why I arranged your ferry crossing, Huachuan-Jincheng Highway and Highland 585.2?"

"I know!" I nodded.

"Tell me!"

I replied without thinking: "The ferry crossings and highways are the only way for the puppet troops to escape. The 585.2 highland is the commanding heights for curbing the highways, and it is also the foundation for our confrontation with the two sides!"

For the trapped beast soldiers who want to block the puppet army who interspersed in the rear of the enemy, they could not block the puppet army to death on the ferry and roads. Because ferry and roads are often without any dangers to defend, our army has no time to build fortifications when interspersed in the enemy. At that time, it is very likely that they will have to face the defeated soldiers who retreated and the reinforcements coming to reinforce. If this is done, under the attack of the enemy's planes, cannons, tanks and dozens of times the force of the troops, it is undoubtedly a mantis arm to chariot. Not only will it be a loss for everyone, it may not even be able to sluggish the puppet army.

Therefore, such actions often occupy a favorable terrain. For example, our target 585.2 highland is located on the right side of the highway, which can block the highway and control the ferry 600 meters away with firepower, which has the effect of drawing a dragon and clearing the entire battle.

"This is a good thing!" Commander Pang nodded, pointed to the 585.2 highland in the center of the arc-shaped pocket formed by Jinhua, Jincheng and Wendengli, and said: "Do you know the difficulty of hitting here?"

"I know!" I nodded.

To be honest, when I saw the 585.2 high ground pointed at by Commander Pang, my scalp was also numb. If the arc-shaped area of ​​Jincheng on the map was a bag, then the 585.2 high ground was in the center of the exit of the bag. The pseudo-Capital Division, the 6th Pseudo-Eighth Pseudo-Eighth Pseudo-Eighth Pseudo-3rd Pseudo-Second, and the 7th Pseudo-Second. These five divisions surrounded the 585.2 high ground like an iron barrel, but our regiment was going to directly attack Huanglong to occupy this place. What's more, as long as this high ground is still in the hands of our army, it will greatly slow down the speed of the puppet army's escape like a thorn choked in the enemy's throat.

I could almost imagine that enemies like ants are coming from all directions!

"Well! Just know!" Commander Pang patted my shoulder and said, "This high ground goes deep into the enemy's hinterland. You have to face much more enemies than other troops, and it is also a must-pass place for the puppet army to defeat the troops. The reason I handed over this task to your regiment is because I think only the 538th regiment can be competent for this task!"

"Thank you, the commander!" Although I answered like this, I thought to myself: It is indeed not a good thing to be able to fight on the battlefield. Isn't this? Every time the most difficult and dangerous tasks are all distributed on the 538th Regiment.

"Teacher Pang..." I stared at the map for a while, and said hesitantly: "Can I raise a difficulty?"

"Say!" Commander Pang agreed without thinking: "As long as I can do it, it's not a problem!"

Although Commander Pang agreed to the conditions I proposed so simply, I was not excited at all, but instead felt a chill in my heart: Listening to Commander Pang's tone, it seems like he is satisfying the wishes of the person about to enter the grave.

After calming down, I turned my gaze to the 585.2 high ground and said, "Princess Pang, the 585.2 high position is in the center of the pocket. It is the longest marching route in this battle. The longest marching route means a long supply line! According to the combat habits of the US and puppet troops, if this battle starts, they will definitely use artillery fire and aircraft to bomb our supply line. Even if our 538th Regiment can fight, if there is no ammunition, I can only watch the enemy escape from us, right?"

Veterans who have participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, if they have fought the first five battles, most of them will suffer from a sequelae, that is, they are always worried about insufficient supply and ammunition. I fought one after another, so of course there will be no exception.

"This is indeed a problem!" Commander Pang nodded and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. I am also prepared for this. I also know that if this battle is replenished, it will be a problem! So I pulled ten of the thirty engineer companies given to us by the superiors to transport you ammunition. What do you think?"

"Okay! I'll feel much more relieved!" I replied excitedly.

"But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance." Commander Pang added: "These engineer companies are carpenters, stonemasons, porters and other people we recruited from China. Most of them have not undergone military training. They will come back soon after the ammunition is delivered and will not participate in the battle!"

"No problem!" I agreed.

Anyway, these engineers who have not undergone military training do not have much combat effectiveness, and I have no interest in using it.

"Captain Cui!" Finally, Commander Pang shook my hand and said heavily: "You should know that this may be our last battle on the Korean battlefield. While asking you to fight, I also hope you can come back alive! After returning home, I want to have a few glasses of wine with you!"

"Yes!" I stood up and slowly saluted Commander Pang. But even though that's it, who can guarantee that he will come back alive on the battlefield?

There are three days left before the battle, and combat preparations are in full swing!

Because our army had fought several major battles before, the loss of soldiers was serious, and the combat mission of our regiment this time was very important, the superiors gave us priority to assigning hundreds of supplementary soldiers.

After preliminary understanding, I know that most of these supplementary soldiers fought on the Korean battlefield. They got off the front line because of their injuries. This time, they went back to the battlefield because of their injuries.

This makes me a little grateful for my superiors' efforts to the 538th Regiment. After all, such a supplementary soldier is not something that any unit can accept. At this time, experienced soldiers are more important than anything else, because we don't have time to train the recruits anymore.

But on the other hand, I felt a little reluctant to see the "failure to die" supplementary soldiers.

This reminded me of the words of Commander Pang: "This may be the last battle on the Korean battlefield!" Commander Pang used "maybe", but I can be sure that it was the last battle. After this battle, the Korean War, which lasted three years and 32 days, will come to an end. Victory is so close to us. If history still develops as I know, it is only about forty days before signing...

But I think many of us will not wait for that day to come, even though this fruit of victory contains our blood and life.

"Captain Cui!" Liu Shunyi saluted in front of me and handed me a roster report, saying: "The supplementary soldiers have been arranged, a total of 796 people. I will supplement most of them into the army, and there are some people I want you to see before making a decision!"

"Huh?" I couldn't help but look at Liu Shunyi unexpectedly. Arranging the supplementary soldiers into the army was not a big deal. Although there is a process of integrating the supplementary soldiers into the army as soon as possible to adapt to the battlefield, Liu Shunyi, the deputy regiment commander, can complete it completely, but now I need to make a decision?

"That's it!" Looking at my puzzled expression, Liu Shunyi opened the roster and explained: "Considering that the 7th Company was also very casualties, I selected more than 100 soldiers from the supplementary soldiers. Corps Commander, do you think..."

So that's the case. Liu Shunyi took great pains, but after thinking about it, I shook my head: "Let's add them to the army!"

"Yes!" Liu Shunyi didn't ask much, and responded and walked out of the tunnel.

It’s not that I don’t want to add the Seventh Company, but the training in the Seventh Company is American-style play, which is not much the same as the traditional play of the Volunteer Army soldiers. Even if the supplementary soldiers are very good and have strong combat capabilities, they have only a few days left and they have no way to adapt and have no way to achieve tacit understanding.

I believe that the careful Liu Shunyi also looked for a group of sharpshooters for the Cold Gun Army, but for the same reason, they could not join.

I sighed regretfully, and buried myself in a pile of telegrams and documents on the table. The so-called "troops" were taken before the troops moved, and I did not dare to neglect this critical battle at all. From the engineering company to the reception of food and ammunition, I conducted a detailed inspection of everything, and even specially asked Commander Pang for a batch of submachine guns and turntable machine guns to strengthen the firepower of the troops.

Especially the turntable machine gun, for our regiment Commander Pang, he did his best to use all his relationships, borrowed, cheated or requested, and got us thirty-four brawls in one go.

These things are all good things. There is a reason why the turntable machine gun is favored by volunteer soldiers. Needless to mention its capacity, its biggest advantage is that it is much lighter than the Guoliunov heavy machine gun. It only needs to be a machine gun shooter and a deputy shooter carry ammunition. But what about the mature Liuliunov heavy machine gun? Two people carry guns, one person carries shields, one person carries a bracket, and two people carry bullet links... There are six people who have to conceal the calculations, and they have to spend time on the battlefield. Once the position is transferred, it has to be dismantled. Sometimes it is aimed by an enemy sniper or mortar. There is no hurry to run...

There is no such problem with a turntable machine gun. It can run around the mountains with just one person. Moreover, because the bullets it uses are exactly the same as those of a heavy machine gun, its penetration is not worse than that of a heavy machine gun. These advantages make the volunteer army, which is good at fighting sports wars, sometimes would rather have a turntable machine gun than Guoliunov.

With these ***sha and turntable machine guns, my regiment's firepower almost doubled. I could almost imagine them roaring and pouring out balls of bullets among the groups of puppet troops.

Of course, I also know that these equipment are all bullet-eating masters. If there are not enough bullets, these things are not as good as a rifle. Fortunately, Commander Pang allocated me ten engineer companies and a large number of ammunition, which are our capital to win battles!

"Report!" Just as I was thinking, a female voice suddenly came from outside the door.

I was stunned when I heard that it was Jin Qiulian's voice. I have been busy preparing for war these days, and I have long forgotten the story of going to see her every day. This girl is not so ignorant!

Thinking of it, I couldn't help but feel angry and thought to myself that if she really dared to make trouble with me at this time, I would give her some excitement. So I responded in a muffled voice: "Come in!"

"Report to the commander!" Jin Qiulian opened the tunnel and walked in straight, saluted in front of me and said, "Captain, can I make a request?"

"Tell me!" I responded angrily, raised my head from the document and glared viciously at Jin Qiulian.

Jin Qiulian didn't care when she looked at me, as if she had guessed what I was thinking. After a secret smile, she stood up and said loudly: "Report to the commander of the regiment, I am here to ask to join the Cold Gun Army!"

"What?" The huge gap made me unable to adapt to it all at once. I couldn't figure out the situation for a long time. I was already holding my stomach up and was about to send it to Jin Qiulian, but now I suddenly realized that it was not the case.

"Puchi!" Jin Qiulian couldn't help laughing out loud when she looked at me. But as soon as she saw me glaring fiercely at her eyes, she immediately stopped her smile and stood still.

I haven't heard her laugh for a long time. It should be said that Jin Qiulian's laughter is very special and very nice. This makes me recall the little things when I fought side by side with her in the past, the thought of her always loving her to hold the pole with me, and the thought of her being a teenage girl, but she is doing things that are not inferior to those of the volunteer soldiers...

"Captain Cui..." Seeing me staring at her in a daze, Jin Qiulian couldn't help but remind me in confusion.

"Oh!" I woke up and flipped through the documents in front of me to hide my embarrassment, and refused, "I can't let you join the Cold Gun Army!"

"Why?" Jin Qiulian looked at me unyieldingly: "My combat experience is not worse than anyone else, and her marksmanship is not bad, so why can't I join?"

"This is not a question of combat experience and marksmanship!" I replied: "Didn't you see the supplementary soldiers who just joined us? They are all veterans and have great combat experience. Some of them have good marksmanship, but have you seen anyone join the Cold Gun Force or even the Seventh Company?"

"No!" Jin Qiulian shook her head, and then insisted: "They can't join, it doesn't mean I can't join!"

"Comrade Xiao Jin!" I frowned and looked like a leader. If it were in the past, I might be willing to say a few more words to her, but now I don't have time to bother her.

So he refused again: "You have to obey the arrangements of your superiors. You are also acquaintances with Squad Leader Wang of the Cold Gun Army. You may not know what kind of training the Cold Gun Army is under..."

"If it's because of this, I'll join even more!" Jin Qiulian interrupted me excitedly and said, "Report to the regiment commander, I've been idle these days and have been training with the soldiers of the Cold Gun Force every day. Now it's not worse than any soldier in the Cold Gun Force or the 7th Company!"

"Nonsense! It's only three days..."

"I didn't talk nonsense!" Jin Qiulian raised her chin like a demonstration and said, "If you don't believe it, go to the training ground to have a look! It's okay if you don't ask Platoon Leader Hu!"

How is it possible? Isn’t her predecessor from the guerrillas? I have been completely adapting to the American style of play in just three days? But looking at Jin Qiulian’s appearance, it doesn’t seem like she is lying, so I can’t help but feel skeptical.

Thinking about how I stayed in this tunnel every day, it was time to go out and move my muscles and bones, otherwise my joints would rust and go to the battlefield would be a big deal. Besides, the Cold Gun troops really need new blood to be replenished. I also know Jin Qiulian's shooting skills and is indeed a good candidate.

So he nodded, and pointed his finger in front of her a few times and said, "If you don't meet the criteria, don't blame my subordinates for showing mercy!"

"Yes!" Seeing that I agreed, Jin Qiulian excitedly sent me a standard military salute.

On the training ground, the Cold Guns and the soldiers of the 7th Company were cooperating with each other to attack the incline. Gunshots came, and dummies made of wooden stakes or weeds fell down.

I watched the soldiers attack in an orderly manner with satisfaction. After the attack on 902.8, the cooperation between the combat troops of the 7th Company and the cold gun troops was tested in actual combat. This not only won a battle and won the victory, but also increased the soldiers' confidence in the practicality of this tactic.

So as soon as they came back from the battlefield, the soldiers of the 7th Company were very conscious and proactive in joining the training ground. Now, their cooperation has become better and better. In many cases, they no longer need a walkie-talkie, just a gesture or nothing, and they can coordinate with each other.

This is what people often say, "integrity is in harmony". It seems that this is very needed on the battlefield. I feel a little relieved when I see this scene, because I know that although the number of people in the 7th Company is smaller, its combat effectiveness is only stronger than before.

Soon, the third row drill was over, and it was time for the other second row to go to the position. But I heard Li Guoqiang shouting loudly: "One row, get on!"

One row? Isn’t Chen Guozhong’s one row completely wiped out?

I looked at Li Guoqiang in shock and was shocked to find that all the soldiers in the 7th Company stood up and saluted to the training ground. I quickly understood that they remembered these comrades who died on the battlefield in their own way, and used their own methods to care for the lost heroes...

Looking at their appearance, my chest was blocked and my throat felt uncomfortable as if something was stuffed. I also saluted the training ground like they were like them!

"Second row! Go!"

"Bang bang..." The gunshots sounded again, and then I realized that at some point Jin Qiulian had already cooperated with the soldiers in the team to attack. What made me feel a little strange was that her movements were very experienced and she cooperated well with the soldiers, not as if she had only practiced for three days!

Moreover, I seem to have seen the fighting figure somewhere, a bit like... the female captain of the puppet army agent who escaped from my hands several times, and a bit like the mysterious gunman who once saved my life...
