North Korea's cold winter came quietly, and the temperature suddenly dropped below zero when the sun sets.

I took the soldiers to hold the rifles in my hands, one next to the other leaning against the wall of the tunnel, facing the cold wind blowing outside the tunnel, feeling the coldness of the metal coming from the rifle, and quietly waiting for the attack moment to come.

It took us more than half an hour to move from the 597.9 high ground to the 537.7 high ground tunnel, and only twenty minutes left before the attack time. This left us without time to rest. The soldiers sorted out their equipment and guns a little, and silently divided them into four parts according to the orders and waited for the orders in front of different tunnel entrances.

The most difficult and most important thing to rush out from the tunnel entrance to seize the enemy's position is to quickly expand the troops and exert all the combat effectiveness of the troops in the shortest time. This is also the reason why we divide the troops into four parts, with the two platoons of each part being led and commanded by me, Li Baocheng, Chen Zhiyuan and Cheng Yuanqing.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of gunfire and bombing from the direction of the 597.9 high ground. I took out my pocket watch and looked at it. The pointer pointed at the point at twelve o'clock. The soldiers in the 597.9 high ground launched an attack on the position controlled by the puppet army on time. But I did not move, and the soldiers did not move, because we knew that this was not the time for us to attack. We had to wait for the puppet army's rescue troops to come out of their bunkers and fortifications...

We don’t know when the puppet army will send reinforcements to the 597.9 Highland, and our superiors don’t know, so our attack time this time is uncertain. It can even be said that if our offensive on the 597.9 Highland could not shake the position of the puppet army and the puppet army did not have a sense of crisis, they would not send reinforcements at all. At that time, I didn’t know if this counterattack would be implemented as planned.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was still no movement outside the tunnel. Except for the searchlight lights that had originally swayed in front of our tunnel entrance, everything did not change. I think this should be the battle in the 597.9 Highland that successfully attracted their attention. For several days, our army has been fighting on the 597.9 Highland. I don’t think they would have thought that this time we suddenly pointed our target to the 537.7 Highland.

Suddenly, a few stones rolled down from the tunnel entrance attracted my attention. I quickly realized that this was the puppet reinforcements deployed. The reason was very simple. Our artillery did not bomb the 537.7 highland, and there were no volunteer soldiers attacking this highland for the time being. So there would be stones rolling down in this dark night. There was only one explanation, that is, when the puppet reinforcements deployed, they could not see the road clearly in this dark night, and accidentally kicked the stones down!

However, it seems that I use the word "accidental" and the puppet army does not know that our real target is actually them, so there is no need to "accident" at all!

"Be ready!" I turned around and gave orders to the soldiers behind me, and then the order was quickly passed down one after another.

The puppet army is in trouble this time! The artillery observers of the volunteer army must have been observing them in the dark at this moment, and reported a series of numbers representing coordinates to the artillery command center through a walkie-talkie. Just waiting for the puppet army to assemble, the shells will fly over like eyes...

Sure enough, as soon as my mind started to come, a sound of "chirping..." came from the sky, which was "Katyusha"! During this period of time in Shangganling, I was very familiar with this sound. It has been damaged by the fact that it can pour a large number of shells on the enemy's heads in the shortest time (several seconds), so that they have no chance to hide in the fortifications again, and achieve the goal of killing and killing the enemy's infantry in a large number of times.

"Boom..." Then a loud noise came from the top of the mountain, and the originally dark tunnel entrance was also reddened by the explosion of the flames. Because the time interval between the bombs was very short, we could not hear the explosion interval. The sound was like an atomic bomb explosion, and it continued to surge from outside! The sand at the top of the tunnel was also shaken down in large pieces.

But then again, I have never heard of the sound of an atomic bomb explosion...

After a while, the explosion of the rocket slowly faded away, and the explosion of the shell gradually became clear. The purpose of the rocket was to kill a large number of enemy infantry, while the shells were to blow up the fortifications built by the enemy! Of course, the bombing time of ten minutes was not long, and this was nothing compared to the amount of ammunition that our army had bombed for half a day a few days ago. But if the coordinates were accurate, the damage caused to the enemy fortifications should not be underestimated!

Before the cannon sound completely stopped, several red signal flares suddenly rose at the foot of the mountain. This was the signal of our army's charge. Seeing this, I dared not be too slow. I waved my hand and shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades! Take a rush!"

"Roar!" The soldiers roared, like a long snake, drilling out of the tunnel one after another and rushing into the darkness outside. I also thrust the rifle in my hand and followed the soldiers out of the tunnel.

The air is still mixed, the smell of blood, the smell of gunpowder and the smell of burnt smell are equally strong, but I don’t feel anything. The days in Shangganling have made me get used to all this. There is no cold outside the tunnel as I imagined, and it even makes me feel a little warm. I think this should be the reason why the large amount of heat generated when the shell explodes is not released at a time!

The surroundings are very dark and dark, so we cannot see the road or the corpses of the enemy. We can only rush to the designated high ground based on our impression and memory of the map. What we step on under our feet is either soft or loose... The corpses are soft, and the scorched earth is loose!

"Kill!" The soldiers shouted and rushed to the top position of the 537.7 Heights. The four parts were divided into two groups and rushed towards the No. 1 and No. 6 positions of the 537.7 Heights!

537.7 There are nine positions in Beishan, the highland. These nine positions are very concentrated. If you circle them with a pen on the map, they will be like a bead held in your hands. And the No. 1 position and No. 6 position are the two most prominent positions on the reverse slope. If our army wants to attack the enemy position, the first thing we need to solve is these two positions!

Especially for position No. 1, because its coordinates are high, it can restore positions No. 2 and No. 3 in one fell swoop, and take positions No. 7 and No. 8 directly.

But as I expected, we attacked positions No. 1 and No. 6 without any resistance. The gunshots were intermittent, and occasionally there were several grenade explosions. They were the soldiers shooting puppet soldiers hiding in fortifications and throwing grenades into the enemy's messy fortifications. We attacked the positions so quickly that the puppet troops had not yet reacted to the sound of bombing just now.

The soldiers rushed to the ground and scattered at the fastest speed to occupy various positions around them. No. 6, No. 5, No. 4, No. 2... One position after another was controlled by us in our hands. Without waiting for the order, the soldiers immediately waved their engineer shovels to build fortifications on the position.

When all the positions were under our control, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Where did the puppet army's reinforcements go? Could it be that they were all killed by "Katyusha"? It's impossible! No matter how powerful "Katyusha" is, there will always be fish that misses the net, right?

"Chief of Staff!" Cheng Yuanqing, who was attacking with me, couldn't help but ask in confusion: "How come he can't see the shadow of the enemy?"

At this moment, a "knocking" sound suddenly came from the right side. I turned my eyes to the direction where the sound came, and I couldn't help but be shocked. I saw that the valley between the 537.7 and the 597.9 highland was covered with puppet troops. I thought they were avoiding shells in the valley.

Maybe they didn't expect us to target the 537.7 highland, nor did they expect us to attack the position so quickly, so they didn't climb up to seize the position immediately.

Now, they were completely exposed to our army's firepower. And... the positions of No. 9, No. 3, No. 7 and No. 8 just surrounded them like a fan...

"Fight!" In fact, before I could give the order, the gunshots were already ringing!

Bullets roared towards the valley where the puppet army was. Although it was dark, we couldn't see the target clearly, but this did not affect our shooting and killing the enemies. The puppet army was so dense that at least one battalion had people squeezed into that small valley, and we could penetrate several enemies with just one shot.

I think the reason why the puppet troops gathered here should be because of the unique conditions of this valley.

A few days ago, when we launched a counterattack on the 597.9 Highland, the puppet army's reinforcements also moved from the 537.7 Highland through mountains connecting the two highlands to the 597.9 Highland. In order to kill and injure the pressure on the 597.9 Highland, our artillery often organized artillery fire to bomb the 537.7 Highland, but the effect has always been unsatisfactory.

I was wondering at that time. As the puppet army reinforcements had no fortifications and tunnels to avoid artillery fire on the road to movement. How did they survive under our army's artillery fire?

Now I finally understand that the secret is the valley in front of me. There is a high mountain facing north, which can block most of the shells fired from the north, which is a perfect hiding pit.

But now, this hidden pit is about to become their grave!

The sound of gunfire, explosions, and screams intertwined. This was not a war at all, but a massacre. Volunteer soldiers shot bullets into the valley from a high place, threw out rows of grenades, and some soldiers even threw explosive bags into the valley... They only exploded the puppet troops in the valley with corpses everywhere, screaming in the sky!

On the other hand, the puppet army could not find the target when shooting, but threw grenades because their grenades were oval, so it was very easy to roll back and explode themselves in this steep valley. In addition, the volunteer soldiers were swinging grenades down in pieces, so they had no chance to fight back, so they could only hold their guns in hopelessly. There were even many puppet army shouting at us in Chinese: "We surrender! We surrender!"

When people are at the critical moment of life and death and are unable to resist, they always have the desire to survive, even the elite pseudo-ninth masters are no exception.

It is said that in Western countries, such as the United States, surrendering under such circumstances will not be considered shameful. Because they feel that since the war is no longer reversed, it is normal for humans to use surrender to preserve their lives. Therefore, these surrendered soldiers will still be treated as heroes after returning to their country. But in our Eastern countries, they will not think so.

But no matter what, this seems to be no different from the puppet troops in the valley! Because the soldiers ignored their calls at all!

The puppet army called surrender at this time, which is the delaying strategy in Sun Tzu's Art of War. There is not no way to escape in this valley. The opening of the valley is at the foot of the southern mountain of the 537.7 highland. As long as they escape there, they will be safe. In this dark night, they are very likely to escape from our shooting range. It's just that the volunteer soldiers exploded in a mess, which made them not get up and run away at all.

The volunteer soldiers would not be so stupid that they gave up such a great opportunity now. They also knew that if they really believed that these puppet troops would surrender, our subordinates would be relaxed and those puppet troops would run away in a flash.

But then again, I think some of the puppet troops called surrender must be really surrendered, but who cares about him? At the same time, no one can care about it! Could it be that we can go on and ask them one by one if they really want to surrender?

The explosive packs, grenades, and explosion tubes were thrown down one by one, causing bloody storms in the valley. But after a while, the whole valley was like a container full of blood, emitting a foul smell and a strong smell of blood.

At this time, the machine guns sounded suddenly in Nanshan 537.7. The puppet troops stationed in that direction seemed to want to rescue the puppet troops trapped in the valley. So they soon sent a company to charge towards our army.

"Tutu..." Several flares hit, and the pale light made us see the tragic scene in the valley: there were corpses of puppet troops who were blown up to pieces, helmets, weapons, broken feet and broken arms intertwined and overlapped, and blood gathered along the slope to the bottom of the valley, flowing slowly towards the low place like a stream...

But we didn't have time to appreciate this masterpiece, because the puppet troops on other positions had already launched an offensive against us.

"??!(Kill!)" The puppet army shouted and rushed towards us. The No. 11 position on Nanshan Mountain in the 597.9 Highland also shot blocks of bullets at us at the same time, almost pressing us down so hard that we could not raise our heads.

The 537.7 Highland South Mountain is very close to the North Mountain, but the puppet army ran to us in a while, and the bayonet reflected the light of the flares and shook in front of us. The volunteer soldiers hurriedly diverted their firepower and pointed their muzzles at the rushing enemy.

"Fight!" With my order, the soldiers opened fire again.

The puppet army charged down in rows under our firepower, but because we were suppressed by condescending firepower from the left, front and right directions, the battle was very difficult!

Cheng Yuanqing was raising his hand and throwing a grenade out. A bullet shot through his right wrist, blood flowing. Although I saw this situation, I could do nothing. Because the enemy rushed forward in front of us, I didn't dare to stop for a moment. I was worried that once I stopped, the puppet army might rush to our position and use their bayonets to hit us a few times.

I hope Cheng Yuanqing can go back to the tunnel by himself, but he didn't. He couldn't move his right hand, and it was inconvenient to pitch grenade with his left hand. He held a blasting tube and rushed towards the enemy without saying a word.

"Company Commander Cheng!" I was shocked to see this, and I thought he had died with the enemy in this way.

But I soon realized that I was wrong. When Cheng Yuanqing was ten meters away from the enemy, he used all his strength to push the blasting tube forward... With a loud bang, smoke filled the blasting tube, and the shock wave of the blasting tube explosion, overthrew a large area of ​​the enemy like a giant hand. At this time, Cheng Yuanqing crawled back to the fortification with both hands and feet.

I helped Cheng Yuanqing into the position and said with a wry smile: "I thought you were going to die with the enemy!"

"How can it be?" Cheng Yuanqing seemed to not care about the wound on his wrist at all, and said with a smile: "I still have to save this life and kill more enemies!"

"Go back to the tunnel and bandage it!" I said to Cheng Yuanqing as the enemy had not yet attacked.

"Chief of Staff, I can still do it..."

"Abide by the order!" I ordered in a tone of no resistance: "By the way, notify the troops that follow up, and return to the tunnel for a while to stand by. The position is too small to accommodate so many people!"

"Yes!" Cheng Yuanqing responded helplessly, turned around and crawled towards the entrance of the tunnel.

The puppet army then seized the time to pounce on it. Although they knew that it was too late to rescue their comrades in the valley at this time, they could only collect the bodies at most. But they still wanted to drive us off the position, or... they also wanted to avenge their dead comrades.

No matter what the reason was, they attacked us like crazy, and again and again, batches of enemies were annihilated by us. But because our army was suppressed by fire from the three-sided high ground, the casualties of the volunteer soldiers were quite serious. One soldier after another fell in a pool of blood.

Looking at this situation on the battlefield, I couldn't help but feel anxious. What's going on with the troops in the 597.9 Highlands! At this time, the No. 11 position has not been taken down!

This won’t work!
