Chapter 37: Lighting Bomb

"But the regiment commander!" Just as the soldiers were discussing how to fight tomorrow night, Wang Yuehan raised another question: "Landing on the enemy's position to fight, solving the distance problem; attracting the enemy's firepower can tell the enemy's position. But... But the enemy is all snipers equipped with night vision devices! Although we can know their location, the enemy is dark and we are bright and close, and once we leave the lurking position to attack the enemy, will it still be exposed to the enemy's firepower?"

I understand what Wang Yuehan means. We are lurking on the enemy's positions. If we don't move, it would be fine. Even if the enemy has a night vision device, it will be difficult for the enemy to see us. But once we get up and grab the guns equipped with a night vision device of the US military, it will be tantamount to exposing ourselves to the guns of other enemies.

The two armies are very close to each other, and the enemies are all snipers, so even if we grab the night vision device, the US military may still leave us alone in their positions.

"What are you afraid of?" Hu Zudi raised the gun in his hand and said, "At that time, we were only a few dozen meters away from the US military! It's not that I'm bragging. As long as they dare to shoot, even if they can't see it at night, I can knock them out!"

"Of course you can do it!" Wang Yuehan replied angrily: "But I'm afraid there are not many people with this skill! Including Commander Cui, Squad Leader Yang has only three people, so can the other soldiers be sure?"

Listening to Wang Yuehan's words, Hu Zudi had nothing to say. He knew very well that there were not many soldiers like this, and in fact, even he himself was not 100% sure.

"Besides!" Wang Yuehan continued: "The gun in the American hand is eight large, and it can fire eight bullets in a row. As long as one enemy is not discovered by us or killed by us, our cold gun troops may lose seven or eight soldiers, and two of them are not discovered, so we will all go back..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yuehan stopped talking and said nothing. There were still many volunteer soldiers with superstitious ideas, so it was taboo to hear some unlucky words before going to the battlefield.

"No!" I corrected this and said, "The US military is not using a large eight-piece, but a carbine!"

"What? Carbine?" Hearing this, the soldiers were stunned and all looked at me with surprise.

I know why the soldiers were surprised. It has been a day or two since they came to North Korea, and they have been fighting with the US military for a long time. Of course, I know that the carbine is a short range, poor accuracy, and weak penetration, so it is not suitable for snipers. So I heard me say that the US snipers use carbines, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

"How did the regiment commander know that the enemy was using a carbine?" Yang Zhenshan asked in confusion.

"I decided to listen to the gunfire!" I replied: "If you ask for a certificate, you can go to the Ministry of Health to ask if the bullets taken out of our injured comrades are the bullets of the carbine."

"Um!" No one was confused again after hearing what I said.

The soldiers all believed that I had the ability to tell what kind of gun it was from the gunshots. In fact, I would be so sure that the American snipers used carbines, entirely because in modern information, I knew that the night vision device that the US military had just produced was very heavy, so heavy that it was not suitable for installation on other guns, except for very light carbines.

Of course, if someone says that a pistol is lighter than a carbine, I have no objection.

"If it was a carbine, the situation would be even more..." Speaking of this, Wang Yuehan couldn't help but frown and stopped talking.

This time, even Hu Zudi and Yang Zhenshan stopped talking.

Although the carbine has shortcomings such as short range, poor accuracy, and weak penetration, its capacity is not comparable to other guns. It has two types of long and short magazines. Short magazines can hold fifteen rounds, and long magazines can hold thirty rounds. Moreover, its magazines are lower-mounted, which are very convenient and fast to replace. What's more amazing is that if the fast and slow machine is adjusted to the fast gear, it can also be continuously fired like a charger...

The disadvantages of using this gun to fight melee, range, accuracy, penetration, etc. are not worth mentioning, but its advantages can be fully utilized. Not to mention that the US snipers are using them.

In other words, when we get up from the lurking position to launch operations or retreat, as long as there is a US sniper and combat capabilities, we are in danger of being wiped out. The soldiers are all masters of cold gun shooting, and of course they understand the truth, so the enthusiasm that I just aroused was hit again in this moment.

Looking at the soldiers who were thrown into cold water, I said endlessly: "This problem is actually not difficult to solve!"

"What?" Hearing the soldiers, they all looked at me in surprise and joy.

"I knew the regiment commander must have a solution!" Yang Zhenshan said happily: "In the future, let the regiment commander leave this brain-making matter to the regiment commander, let's just fight!"

"Captain, what can I do?" The soldiers all looked at me with anticipation.

"The solution is flares!" I found a few clean and dry white cloths to wrap around the rifle, and asked Wang Yuehan: "Do you have flares in the division? Get some for us, don't have more, more than a dozen shots are enough!"

"Flag?" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this.

"However, there is!" Wang Yuehan also looked confused: "But why do we want this flare? Are we afraid that the enemy will not see us?"

"I guessed too!" I didn't want to explain too much to the soldiers, so I said randomly: "You think that after the American devils were equipped with night vision devices, they could see things in the dark night. What if the surroundings suddenly became brighter?"

"It's necessary to ask... Then you can see more clearly!" Some soldiers answered without thinking.

"Captain, are you talking about..." Hu Zudi, Fan Changxin and others might have understood what I mean, and they all looked at me with shock on their faces.

"Yeah!" I nodded and explained from another angle: "The soldiers are afraid that they have all had such experiences! During the day, if we walk out of the dark tunnel, we just saw the sun, so dazzling that our eyes couldn't open. Then you guys said, the Americans looked at us through the night vision device, and we suddenly gave them a few flares..."

"Oh!" After hearing what I said, the soldiers realized that they couldn't help but feel happy on their faces.

"It's better to blind those Americans!" Yang Zhenshan said gritting his teeth.

"It's not that big difference between blinding and not blinding!" Hu Zudi rubbed his hands excitedly: "Let's identify the enemy's hiding position first. If the Americans can't see anything, then why should we do it? Then we just need to rush up and shoot one, which will be even more enjoyable!"

"That's right!" Yang Zhenshan nodded his head and rolled up his sleeves and was eager to try it out, wishing he could rush to the Japanese position and have a big fight.

"Captain, will our flares really make the enemy invisible?" Wang Yuehan asked hesitantly.

I know what Wang Yuehan is thinking. I said just now that these are just my guesses. Whether the enemy will temporarily suffer from insomnia is another matter. If my guess is not true, then my plan is likely to wipe out the Cold Gun troops.

Wang Yuehan, who has always been cautious, will of course think of this consequence. But what he didn't expect was that my "guess" was actually not "guess", because this has long been proven to be valid in modern society.

"Staff Officer Wang, you don't have to think so much!" I didn't explain it, but in fact I couldn't explain it clearly, so I said in a commanding tone: "Just go to the division headquarters to get us some flares and flare launchers. There should be more flare launchers, and it's best to launch all flares at once! Others, I think, even if this conclusion may not be valid, the soldiers are willing to fight, right?"

"right!"

"Fight!"

"Fight! Revenge for the sacrificed comrades!"

...

The soldiers raised their rifles in their hands and shouted again and again.

"Comrades!" I signaled the soldiers to calm down, and I continued: "The Americans can't see for a short time, maybe only about one minute, so when you attack on the enemy's position tomorrow, you must be fast. You must identify the enemy's position in advance. Everyone finds their own target. As soon as the flares are fired, they will immediately rush up to solve the enemy. Then snatch the equipment from their bodies as quickly as possible! Comrades must pay attention that we want not only the strange-shaped guns in their hands, but also the bags on their backs, and I will grab them all back with one left!"

"Yes!" The soldiers yelled with guns, as if the US snipers were already in our pockets.

I couldn't help but hold the rifle in my hand, remembering the eleven comrades who had just died, and felt a little angry: This time, I will let your special sniper unit have a special way of death!

Then I shouted at the soldiers: "Now I will eat for me, and I will go to bed after I finish eating, so as to keep my spirits going to the battlefield tomorrow night!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and they all picked up the bowls and chopsticks and swallowed them voraciously as if they were scrambling to do so.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next day, at dawn, I was awakened by a rumbling cannon sound.

It has been common to wake up by the sound of cannons on the position, but this time it is different, because this time I only heard the sound of cannons but did not feel the vibration!

I opened my eyes in a daze, and I soon realized that it was the two guys Zhang Fafu and Yang Minle who were the ones who were doing it. I couldn't help but curse in my heart. These two guys started fighting without waiting for my order.

Sure enough, after a while, when the sound of cannons gradually subsided, I saw Zhang Fafu and Yang Minle running in with excitement on their faces, and shouting to me while running: "Captain, Commander, knocked down!"

"Captain!" Zhang Fafu and Yang Minle, who were disguised, ran to me, looked at me excitedly and reported to me loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, our army's first round of artillery fire blew all the enemy's barbed wire into the sky. In order to destroy the enemy's mine array, we focused on the bombing position in front of the barbed wire. Now the enemy's mines are probably not much left!"

"Oh, you two are a little brainy now!" I patted their hats and thought to myself that these two little guys have become smarter and know how to use shells to detonate mines to open the way for us.

Looking at their excited faces, I wanted to tease them, so I pretended to be angry and scolded: "You guys! You can fire without waiting for my order. Do you two still want military rules? There is no organization or discipline at all, and there is no way to look like a revolutionary soldier!"

"Ah?" The two of them were stunned by my scolding, and they opened their mouths wide for a long time but couldn't speak.

After a while, Zhang Fafu explained: "Captain, you asked us to blow up the American's barbed wire at dawn last night. That's the order, right?"

"That's right!" Yang Minle also nodded and said, "What's more, we know that the leader was still sleeping early in the morning, so we didn't dare to wake you up..."

"Don't you dare to wake me up?" I couldn't help laughing and said, "Who will not wake up after you hit your cannon?"

"This... is the same!" The two of them grabbed their heads and didn't know what to say.

"Okay!" I smiled and said, "Let your artillery fire a few more shots and shoot a few more shots into the enemy's defense depth. Don't expose our intentions."

"Yes!" The two of them saluted me and turned around and were about to leave.

"Wait!" I called them and said, "I inform the artillery to be prepared. When we complete the task to withdraw in the evening, the artillery must provide timely fire cover!"

"Yes!" The two of them saluted me again and ran out happily.

"Boom..." The cannon sounds outside were ignited one after another, some were attacked by our army, and some were attacked by the US army.

By the way, this American was afraid that our infantry and any other military branch would have too many advantages, so our artillery was just provoking, and those American artillery were not convinced. In a short while, a lot of shells were fired at our position. And it seemed that if we had one shot, they would have ten shots. In an instant, the entire position was filled with rumbling sounds of cannons everywhere.

The sound of cannons continued until the evening, and it was finally sparse because it was getting dark.

Finally, I checked the rifle, bullets and camouflage on my body, and I carried the gun through the passage and drilled into the warriors' tunnel.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

...

Seeing me crawling in, the soldiers stood up and paid tribute to me.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"It's ready!" the soldiers replied, their voices vigorous and uniform.

I nodded with satisfaction. The Cold Gun Army had newly joined Fan Changxin's troops, and even more new people were added than the original troops. But they still had a tacit understanding with each other, which can be seen from their actions and voices. This may be because they belonged to the same division's troops!

This tacit understanding between the soldiers is very important, because on the battlefield, it is often this tacit understanding that can make the soldiers become a group, it is often this tacit understanding that can make the soldiers win the final victory, and it is often this tacit understanding that can make the soldiers come back alive.

"Zhang Fafu, Yang Minle!" The soldiers in front of me were all white, and I couldn't tell who was who, so I shouted casually.

"Come!" Zhang Fafu and Yang Minle quickly stood up.

"Are the artillery ready?" I asked.

"It's ready!" Zhang Fafu replied: "All our army's artillery fire has a total of 35 guns, all of which have entered combat state, and fire cover can be provided at any time!"

"Chief of Staff Wang!" Wang Yuehan is easy to find because he is one of the few soldiers wearing gray cotton jackets in the tunnel. I asked him: "Are the flares ready?"

"It's ready!" Wang Yuehan stepped forward and replied: "There are a total of twenty launchers and fifty flares!"

"So much?" I was stunned when I heard this.

"This is what Commander Wang means!" Wang Yuehan explained: "Originally, Commander Wang wanted to give us more, but he said that if necessary, he could give us all the flares of the division. Later, I kept saying enough, and the people I brought could not move, so I took these!"
