Chapter 92: Backscene

"Battery Commander Xu! It's not OK to continue like this!" Company Commander Huang Chuanyu ran up with a covered in soil and reported to Xu Feng: "What came up just now was just a team of scouts from the Americans. The soldiers almost knocked out half of the bullets, and five more were sacrificed in one shot of artillery. If this continues, I'm afraid our troops will be dragged down!"

"What can't do it? You have to do it if you don't do it!" Xu Feng cursed in a muffled voice: "Pass the orders so that the soldiers can save bullets, and then shoot after they see it!"

"Yes!" Huang Chuanyu saluted and never dared to say anything and turn around.

"Battery Commander!" Seeing this, I walked up and handed Xu Feng a cigarette.

"No!" Xu Feng seemed to be exploding by this gunfire, and as Huang Chuanyu said, there was not enough ammunition, so he couldn't help but sit on the ground in a muffled voice.

Seeing this, I leaned over and said, "Battery Commander, I have ammunition!"

"Do you have ammunition?" Xu Feng couldn't help but be stunned: "How many are there? Where are they?"

"There are more than a thousand guns, all of which are eight large! There are six or seventy thousand bullets! They are all placed in Seoul!"

"Good boy, you..." Xu Feng couldn't help but lit up his eyes and immediately became energetic: "Why are you still standing there? Go and transport it!"

"Battery Commander!" I hesitated: "You have to say this to the regiment commander!"

"That's right!" Xu Feng nodded, then pulled me up and said, "Go to the regiment headquarters together, and I'm going to report the situation to the regiment commander!"

"Report!" Xu Feng pulled him all the way and arrived at the regiment headquarters in just over ten minutes.

"You are here just in time!" Captain Chu saw that it was us, so he raised his head from the map and said, "What's the situation? Are there serious casualties?"

"Report to the regiment commander!" Xu Feng stood up and said, "I repelled a scout from a company of the US military. Our army was killed and fifteen were injured. Most of them were casualties caused by heavy artillery in the US military!"

"Well!" Captain Chu couldn't help but frowned, and he knew in his heart that this battle was not easy to fight.

"Are there any difficulties?" Chen Ye asked.

"Report to the political commissar! There is no difficulty!" Xu Feng stood up and said, "Please rest assured, the soldiers of our battalion stand firm and never retreat, people are in the position!"

"Tell the truth!" Chu Tuan threw his pen hard on the map, looking very impatient.

"Yes!" Xu Feng stood up and replied quickly: "Report to the regiment commander, the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, and all the fortifications built for one night were broken in just twenty minutes. There were not enough bullets, but Battalion Commander Cui said he had it!"

"Captain Cui has bullets?" Hearing this, Commander Chu and Chen Ye couldn't help but look at me in confusion.

"Report to the Chief!" Seeing this, I hurriedly stood up and said, "Those ammunitions were picked up by the new recruits when they were behind. There were a total of 1,000 guns, more than 60,000 bullets, as well as some grenades and food. They are now buried in a house in Seoul."

"Okay... you boy!" Captain Chu pointed his fingers in the void several times, and after a long time, he said: "You boy, you have a trick!"

"You are there! Battalion Commander Cui!" Chen Ye seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "This time, it has solved the urgent needs of our troops!"

"I said Lao Chen!" Captain Chu rubbed his hands and said, "Chi Hon, I'll change. I'll see that I'll send someone to transport this batch of ammunition immediately, otherwise the battle will start..."

"No..." Chen Ye interrupted Captain Chu and said, "Old Chu, you can't be anxious about this matter. This batch of ammunition is now our life-saving treasures, so you must not make any mistakes! It's daytime now. If you transport those ammunition now, if you were blown up by the American plane, then it wouldn't be..."

"Yes, yes!" Speaking of this, Commander Chu quickly understood and nodded quickly: "Look, I'm so anxious, but fortunately I have you, a slow military advisor!"

"But Old Chu!" Chen Ye then frowned and said, "Our army is not good at fighting position wars. Even if there is no shortage of ammunition for the time being, this fortification is still a big problem. Just as Battalion Commander Xu reported, the fortifications that were built for the middle of the night made the Americans blow up a fire. This time the enemy is just reconnaissance. If it is a large-scale attack, I think it will not be easy to defend it!"

"There is nothing to do! If you can't hold on, you have to defend it. Who told us to have no artillery?" Captain Chu's face became serious again.

But I felt something was wrong in my heart. Thinking about the bombardment just now, I couldn't help but feel awesome. If the volunteers were fighting like this, it would have been a place that was detected by the Americans and then bombed the other. If this continues, it would seem too easy for the Americans to win the battle!

No! The Volunteers must have some way to deal with it. I seem to have read it in the information. It is the combat experience summarized by the Volunteers in the blood and sacrifice of the soldiers! If I can use that method, wouldn’t it be possible for the Volunteers to avoid detours and bleeding? But why did I forget it?

I couldn't help but grab my head in a hurry, thinking hard about the battle of aid to Korea that I had seen in the information. What other battles did the volunteers fight? After the fifth battle, another defensive battle was fought, followed by the world-famous Battle of Shangganling. Yes... it's it!

"I thought of it!" I couldn't help but scream, scaring everyone beside me.

"Tell me, what did you think of?" Captain Chu handed me a cup of hot water.

I didn't bother to drink after taking the hot water, and couldn't wait to say to me: "Captain, I thought about how to avoid the heavy artillery of the Americans!"

"Oh? Tell me!" Captain Chu was a little convinced. Maybe he was not very satisfied with the word "hide" I used! The volunteers have never been afraid of hardship or death, so when can they hide?

"Captain! My solution is to tunnel, the back slope."

"Tunnel? Reverse incline?" Commander Chu and Political Commissar Chen Ye couldn't help but be confused.

The tunnel war initiated by the volunteer soldiers was only launched after the fifth battle, so it is no wonder they didn't know.

"Captain!" I continued: "This tunnel is simply authentic, or it can be said to be a larger or deeper air raid shelter, which can hide more people..."

"What's the use?" Commander Chu couldn't help but say with some disappointment: "The larger air-raid shelter can't stand the Americans' heavy artillery. If you hide more people, will you die more?"

"Captain, listen to me first!" It was a bit helpless after being interrupted by Commander Chu twice, but what could the Captain Chu do? In order to make it clearer, I put down the teacup and grabbed a few handfuls of snow on the ground, piled up a mountain on the table, and pointed to the "mountain" and said: "There are two sides of this mountain. One side is facing the enemy, so we call it the forward incline; the other side is facing our own, so we call it the reverse incline. If we build fortifications on the forward incline, the enemy will be completely destroyed after a fire, and it will not be in trouble at all. Then what if we build the fortifications and tunnels on the reverse incline?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned and built the fortifications on the back slope, and no one had ever done this.

"Can this happen?" Xu Feng first asked a question: "Our army occupied the mountain to gain some advantage on the high ground. If we build fortifications on the reverse slope, wouldn't we take the initiative to give up the mountain top and the high ground to the enemy?"

"There is a gain and a loss, right?" I replied, "And it is not that simple to give the top of the mountain to the enemy. Once the enemy is bombarded, we can come out of the tunnel on the back slope to seize the mountain top high ground. With the iron foot of our volunteers, we can't escape those Americans who ride cars and tanks all day long?"

"I think it can be done!" Captain Chu's eyes shone: "Building fortifications on the back slope, the enemy's tank guns and recoil-free cannons are decorative. Although the curved cannons can be shot, the enemy cannot see our fortifications and cannot aim, and there are many blind spots. This can greatly reduce the enemy's artillery lethality."

"That's right!" Political Commissar Chen Ye nodded and said, "I think it's good when Captain Cui mentioned this. As soon as the enemy retreats, we will retreat into the tunnel. When the enemy's artillery fire passes, we will follow it. Even if the mountain position has no fortifications and cannot be defended, it doesn't matter. You can also withdraw the main position on the reverse slope! The enemy climbs to the top of the mountain and rises, and we will hit the main position on the main position one by one or another!"

"Good idea! Good idea!" Chu Tuan patted my shoulder hard and said, "What is the matter in your head? You can think of this method. This will save the lives of many soldiers!"

I scratched my head embarrassedly. This was not what I thought of. It was summarized by the volunteer soldiers after they shed a lot of blood. I just took it a little earlier.

"Old Chu!" Chen Ye continued, "I think we should report this method to the division headquarters and promote it to the entire army defending on the front line. This will definitely organize more effective defenses and greatly reduce the casualties of our army, so that those Americans know that their artillery is not omnipotent!"

"Agree! Radio..."

When Xu Feng and I returned to the position, we immediately commanded the troops to build tunnels and positions according to the thought of the reverse slope. But this time the soldiers had questions again.

"I said battalion commander!" The first question was Hu Zi: "Why are you building the position here? It's a mountain. The American devils come from the other side of the mountain, we can't even fight, right?"

"If you ask you to build it, just build it. Why are there so much nonsense?" I responded angrily: "When those Americans hit you, you will know what the benefits are. Comrades, please pay attention to digging air raid shelters first and then building positions. Try to find dead corners of shells to build positions."

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and rushed to the scene.

The reason why the soldiers were asked to dig air raid shelters first was that they did not want the US troops to suddenly launch another shelling. Most of the fortifications built by the soldiers were destroyed. At this time, the losses would be huge if they bombed again.

Fortunately, the Americans didn't seem to have enough shells. In the next half day, they neither sent troops to reconnaissance nor bombing. It was right. They hurriedly retreated without rushing to take away too much ammunition. A few days ago, they bombed the ammunition of thirteen trains in the Seoul area! This also made the volunteers successfully dug the tunnel on the back slope. When Commander Chu sent someone to transport the ammunition from Seoul at night, I was really relieved.
