soldier rushing forward

As soon as the enemy retreated, the reserve position automatically returned, but the next problem was that there were too few people on the high ground.According to the establishment, Cui Shuli's squad is considered an intensive squad. In addition to light weapons, there is one mortar and two light machine guns.There are usually ten people in the combat squad, and including the attached artillery and machine gunners, there are only 14 people.Adding Wu Jianglong and Dong Yan is 16 people.

However, after repelling the enemy's three attacks in a row, six or seven of the soldiers who died, plus those who were seriously injured, had lost their combat effectiveness.

In this way, there are only about ten people who can really go to the battlefield to fight.

Cui Shuli had a headache when he thought of these sources of soldiers.

After the enemy retreated, the high ground was not bombarded again, and it began to become calm.

Seeing Cui Shuli's distraught appearance, Wu Jianglong reprimanded loudly, "Squad Leader Cui, hurry up and send someone to reinforce the fortification." "

Only then did Cui Shuli wake up from the entanglement of the personnel, "Come here, come here."

Cui Shuli was busy recruiting the soldiers scattered around the trench.

"Listen up," Cui Shuli said, pointing to the two soldiers, "Xiao Wei, Xiao Dong, you two will follow Head Nurse Dong to carry the sacrificed comrades into the tunnel." Several people?"

A fighter replied, "Three."

"What about the second group?"

"two"

"The third group?"

"Three"

Cui Shuli thought for a while and said, "The first team is responsible for repairing the reserve position on the left. After repairing, stay there. Be sure to defend it."

The team leader replied, "Yes."

"The third team is in charge of rushing to repair the reserve position on the right, and it must also be held by me."

After hearing the answer, Cui Shuli turned to the soldiers in the second group, "Your group will follow Platoon Leader Wu and stay in the main position. Hurry up and complete the tunnels. You must hold on tight."

"Yes Yes"

The person in charge of each group answered.

After Cui Shuli finished speaking, he turned his attention to Wu Jianglong, "Platoon Leader Wu, please tell everyone!"

"Comrades, Squad Leader Cui has already deployed. I have nothing to say, but I just want to tell everyone that you must be fully prepared for battle and have the idea of ​​not being afraid of sacrifice. Don't forget that we are Chinese Communists. Don't embarrass the folks in your hometown. I'd rather die one step forward than live half a step back."

"I'd rather go one step forward and die than go back half a step to live."

The soldiers were passionate and shouted together.

After the soldiers calmed down, Wu Jianglong said a few more words, and finally said, "Okay, let's hurry up and work!" Wu Jianglong said finally.

Cui Shuli said to Wu Jianglong, "Platoon Leader Wu, you are still in charge of the overall command in the main position. I will go down with a small group."

"Okay! You have to let the soldiers bring enough ammunition, and you must pay attention to safety."

Looking at the backs of Cui Shuli and the first and third groups of fighters, Wu Jianglong frowned and thought to himself, "They are all young people of seventeen or eighteen years old, and they have just entered adulthood. Maybe this time, it will be very It may be that they will never return, and their short lives will stay at this age when they are gone. Of course, brave fighters will not be afraid of death, because they are fighting for their motherland, and they die well and with honor. However, What about their parents! What about their brothers and sisters! Although they are also proud of them, but the pain of losing a loved one can be dismissed with a single sentence! Who knows how to shout slogans and speak big words? The pain of identity may never be erased in a lifetime. For this, people have no choice but to miss these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the frontier defense of the southern country in deep thoughts!"

A burst of fine footsteps came from the clanging of shovels digging trenches.

Wu Jianglong raised his head, just in time to see Dong Yan leading Zheng Jiujiang coming from the direction of the tunnel.

Dong Yan is in front, Zheng Jiujiang is behind with his head down.The two walked quickly one after the other.

When Wu Jianglong saw Zheng Jiujiang, his eyes burst into flames, and he was so cruel that he shot him dead.It's just because Zheng Jiujiang is not his soldier, and it's not up to him to deal with it.Wu Jianglong could only stare at Zheng Jiujiang with resentment, without saying a word, and he didn't even respond to Dong Yan's greeting.

"What's the matter, why are you in a daze?" Dong Yan came over and asked.

Wu Jianglong turned around from his emotions, "No, think about something."

Dong Yan pulled Zheng Jiujiang behind him, "Xiao Zheng knew he was wrong, assign him a task!"

Wu Jianglong continued to stare at Zheng Jiujiang, "Xiao Zheng, do you know the consequences of your actions!" Wu Jianglong didn't use the word escape, but behavior, because he saw that Xiao Zheng was still young, only ten years old. Six or seven years old.So, he didn't want to stimulate him too much. "

"I know." Zheng Jiujiang answered with his head down.

"so what should I do now?"

"Atonement"

"Well," Wu Jianglong said with a sigh of relief, "Well, it depends on your actions." After a pause, he said, "Okay, since you know, I won't say more." Wu Jianglong pointed to the construction work "They are all your comrades in arms. During the battle, it is very likely that you will make them pay with their lives because you leave alone. It is not only you who are fighting here, but your squad leader, Your team leader, and everyone. So, you have to be strong and fight with them to the end."

"Yes" Zheng Jiujiang timidly replied.

"Stay in the main position!"

"No." Zheng Jiujiang seemed very determined, I want to be with the monitor.

"Okay, go! Hope you get your honor back in battle."

"Yes" Xiao Zheng saluted Wu Jianglong gratefully, then jumped out of the main position and ran towards the reserve position on the left.

"How is the arrangement of the wounded?" After Zheng Jiujiang left, Wu Jianglong asked Dong Yan.

"It's all sent into the tunnel."

"Go, I'll go and have a look."

Since Wu Jianglong came to this high ground, he has been wandering around on the surface. As for this tunnel, he has never entered it.Now that the battle was at this point, he had to consider the situation after the highland was occupied by the enemy.With less than one squad of soldiers, it is very difficult to withstand the enemy's powerful offensive.Therefore, he had to think about it, what should he do next after losing the surface position?

He has watched the movie of Shangganling, even if the surface position does not exist, there are tunnels, which can also attack the enemy.It was precisely because of this idea that Wu Jianglong thought about this tunnel.

The trench is full of collapsed soil and gravel, and it is impossible to walk through it happily unless all the debris is cleaned up.But right now, there are so few people, and there are not enough bunkers, so how can we spare people to do these things.

Wu Jianglong and Dong Yan jumped and passed through the debris destroyed by the shells, and finally reached the entrance of the tunnel.

The entrance of the tunnel is close to a section of stone wall. From the outside, it looks like a natural stone cave.The entrance of the stone cave hangs on the mountainside. As long as there is a machine gun on the entrance of the cave, it is difficult for outsiders to enter.

Wu Jianglong smiled, "Little Cui, I stayed here for two days, and he never mentioned the tunnel.

"It was built by the Vietnamese army. The soldiers didn't want to go in because they thought it was damp inside, so no one wanted to go in." Dong Yan said.

"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Wu Jianglong said.

Afterwards, Wu Jianglong and Dong Yan entered the tunnel.

In the tunnel, not far from the exit, several seriously injured soldiers were lying on the ground.They gritted their teeth and endured the pain without moaning.

On the wall, some people have already lit a few pine trees, and put a branch not far away, extending inward, so that the objects in the tunnel can be seen faintly.

Wu Jianglong looked at these wounded soldiers one by one, and then asked, "Where are the comrades who died?"

"Inside." Dong Yan turned her head to indicate inside.

Wu Jianglong and Dong Yan walked in again.

After a dozen or so steps, the cave turned a corner, and it was clearly visible that it had been excavated and reinforced with cement.

"Did we fix it?" Wu Jianglong asked.

"No. I heard from Xiao Wei that they have been like this since they came here. He also heard from his old squad leader. It used to be a small cave here, which was dug by the Vietnamese army later." Dong Yan walked to Wu Jiang Long explained.

"Guizi is pretty good at it. If you want to hide people, people from outside won't be able to get in for a while." Wu Jianglong looked around, "It's just that I don't know if there is a vent here."

Just as he was talking, Wu Jianglong only felt a cool breeze blowing on his face.He stretched out his hand to try it, and said happily, "Okay, there is ventilation here." As he spoke, he pointed his head and looked towards the windy place.

The top of the cave was dark and nothing could be seen.Wu Jianglong took a handful of Songming and lifted it upwards, but he couldn't see the light outside.

"Well, with such a wind, we are not afraid of the Vietnamese army blocking the cave."

"What did you say?" Dong Yan asked puzzled.

"I mean, once the troops fail, we can withdraw and attack the enemy." Wu Jianglong said to Dong Yan.

"What if, what if the Vietnamese army blocks the entrance of the cave and smokes in?"

"I'm also worried about this, but, look, there is a place to vent my anger here." Wu Jianglong gestured with his hands, probably more than one.If there are four or five of him, you won't be afraid of anything. "

Wu Jianglong became interested, "Let's go and see the sacrificed comrades."

The remains of three soldiers were placed horizontally in the innermost layer of the tunnel.

The darkness at the bottom of the cave further solidified the atmosphere here.

Xiao Wei and a soldier had just placed the third body when Wu Jianglong and Dong Yan came over.

When Xiao Wei heard someone approaching, he grabbed the gun vigilantly and asked, "Who?"

"I, Wu Jianglong."

"Platoon Leader Wu!" Xiao Wei put down his gun, stood up straight and waited for Wu Jianglong to come over.

Wu Jianglong illuminated the bodies on the ground with a pine light, and saw that there was nothing on the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers except for the damaged military uniforms.So he said to Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, it's not okay to be naked like this, I'm sorry for the deceased, you go find some sheets and cover them all up."

"Um"

Xiao Wei went out.

Dong Yan squatted down, straightened the clothes of a sacrificial soldier, whimpered and said, "He was punched several times in the stomach, and his intestines flowed out. We carried him down, but he refused. He also yelled We need to kill a few more enemies. Oh! What a good comrade!"

After Dong Yan finished fiddling with this one, she went to fiddle with the second one.

Wu Jianglong kept silent, watching Dong Yan's body silently.Because he has experienced so much, no one can do anything about this kind of pain.Because this is war, and people die when they fight.From the moment he joined the army to the present, he has seen dozens of comrades who fell beside him.What about pain!Who can hold the shell in an instant and prevent it from blowing to the position?Is that possible!Of course not.Sacrifice is inevitable, and tragedy can happen at any time.Maybe at a certain moment, the person lying on the ground may be his turn.

Just as Wu Jianglong was thinking, Xiao Wei "dongdong" ran in from the outside.

Wu Jianglong took sheets from Wei Xiaowei and covered the soldiers' bodies one by one.

Seeing that Dong Yan hadn't left yet, Wu Jianglong stretched out his hand to pull Dong Yan up, "Let's go, the enemy is about to attack."

Once out of the tunnel entrance, Wu Jianglong said to Xiao Wei and another soldier, "The task for you two now is to move all the edible, usable, and stored guns and ammunition on the high ground into the cave. After all this, you two will guard the entrance of the cave. No matter what happens to the high ground, you don't give up this. Understand?"

"Understood." Xiao Wei nodded with a vague understanding.

"This is our last position. We must not let a Vietnamese soldier come up. As long as we lose this place, we will have no way to survive. Do you understand?" Wu Jianglong saw that Xiao Wei and the soldier did not really understand what he meant. , and said.

This time the two understood clearly.

"Yes, we understand." Xiao Wei answered for another soldier.

Wu Jianglong looked at his watch and said to Dong Yan, "Don't go up, and prepare here with them."

"No, I'm going up, there are still wounded there."

"Take care of the seriously wounded first, and then go on when other people are in need." Wu Jianglong stopped Dong Yan.Then run quickly towards the main position.

Wu Jianglong's decision not only kept the high ground, but also prevented the few survivors who retreated from being captured or wiped out by the Vietnamese army.They used this tunnel to hold on until the Chinese army's big counterattack.

Wu Jianglong used the tunnel, but he didn't know how the tunnel was formed, and he didn't have time to inquire.Even after asking, no one here can tell clearly.

During the time when the Vietnamese army occupied the Laoshan area, they have been painstakingly managing the defense here, repairing fortifications, building dark forts, and repairing tunnels.They are going to build a permanent fortification corridor similar to the "Maginot Line" here.I also want to learn from the Japanese devils during the War of Resistance Against Japan and use the mountain to build a strong fortification in Dongying.In order to occupy Laoshan and prevent the Chinese from entering, it can be said that they are omnipotent and painstaking.They have already made preparations for long-term occupation here, so they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

Of course, manpower is nothing, and the Vietnamese army has a lot of cheap labor.What about materials?There are also a large number of engineering materials that were selflessly assisted by China in the early years.These projects are originally designed to integrate life, entertainment, and combat.

The 197 highland, as an important part of Laoshan's defense line, of course, this step is also indispensable, but the direction of its tunnel exit and many functions are all facing the Chinese side.Therefore, the soldiers guarding the high ground had little expectations of him.Therefore, if our army wants to prevent the Vietnamese army, it must reconfigure the fortifications to deal with the Vietnamese army.This is why Cui Shuli did not introduce this tunnel to Wu Jianglong.

It is different now, there is a crisis in the highlands.If you want to defend yourself, something is better than nothing.

Some comrades said, stick to it!

Of course you have to stick to it.However, in the face of many enemies, how to defend.What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese army should not be underestimated at all.Although we scoff at his self-proclaimed No. [-] in the world, he still has some capital even if he dares to speak wildly.

Since there is such a cave where soldiers can fight, hide and live, why not use it.As long as there is an accident on the high ground, the soldiers will be withdrawn inward at that time, and then people will be sent to control the entrance of the cave. Even if the Vietnamese army occupies the surface position, it will not be a problem to stick to the cave for a week.

Some comrades have to ask again, our army has always been able to attack and defend, but with the strength of the Vietnamese army, can we attack it!

Whether it can be attacked, let us wait and see!

After a short correction, the wounded and sacrificed comrades have been transported into the tunnel.Most of the fortifications outside can be used, especially the blocked cat ear hole, which has been cleaned out again.

Why Clean Cat Ear Piercings?

Because before the enemy attacks again, there is likely to be another large-scale bombardment. If there are no cat ear holes to hide, and they are guarding naked in the trenches, they will not all become cannon fodder.Besides, the emergency ammunition is still stored in the cat's ear hole!If you don't clear the hole, how can you get it.

In addition to repairing fortifications, step mines and directional mines are basically planted in the reserve positions and main positions, areas that the enemy may use.

After the preparations were completed, the high ground was completely calm again.
