Chapter 8 Chapter VII

May 28.We have been notified urgently since the morning and entered the highest combat readiness! The entire Sanlian garrison was boiling.Without the instructor urging and supervising, the soldiers wiped and wiped the already shiny rifles and checked them repeatedly. Bazooka, check ammo. Company commanders and instructors wandered up and down, checking inside the platoon one by one.At this moment they both seemed to have nothing to do. Lao Liu reported to the company headquarters early in the morning, and accompanied the company commander and instructor to inspect the platoon in the morning.Judging from the company commander's expression, he is quite satisfied with everyone's preparations. It seems that the ideological mobilization a while ago was relatively good.

After the company commander left, I followed Huang Biao's example and checked my rifle thoroughly. After making sure that there was no problem, I started to walk along the tunnel. Guo Yong was sitting at the door of the room of the second class, carefully waiting for his class machine gun, with a steel wire in his mouth, tense cheek muscles, and a solemn expression.Huang Biao was checking the equipment of the soldiers one by one, and if he found that it did not meet the requirements, he would curse loudly, and the soldiers next to him kept laughing.In the tunnel room, Xu Shaobo lowered his head and turned around between the beds of the soldiers of the third class, with his hands folded in front of his chest, looking a little nervous.The three squads of fighters who had already prepared were all leaning on the simple bunks.

Seeing me coming, Xu Shaobo hurriedly sat down again, flipping through a copy of "Fashion" he got from somewhere. Ju Wuzhu, the cooking squad leader of the company department, got a pile of wine and meat from somewhere, and the whole company department was filled with fragrance. At noon, the whole company had a big dinner in the company headquarters. The room was small, and the restaurant was directly set up in the tunnel.The so-called dinner party is to put all kinds of boxes and boxes on the ground, with cans, wine bottles and tea cups stacked on them.There are no chopsticks, everyone uses their hands.

The soldiers were obviously aroused by the rare and rich food. They sat down in a row next to the wall of the tunnel, and there was a huge chewing sound in the crowd.There was a lot of laughter in the entire tunnel. The artillery platoon leader Wu Ben saw that I didn't drink, so he took my teacup without any politeness and happily shared a drink with everyone.After a while, Wu Ben went into battle shirtless, his face was as red as a boiled lobster. Not used to such noisy occasions, I was more often on the sidelines.Looking around, more than half of the people have followed Wu Ben's example and started shirtless.

Seeing me sitting alone, Huang Biao came over with a drink and asked me to have a drink with him. "The teacher is here!" When I was still giving in to Huang Biao, someone yelled, and the whole tunnel became much quieter.I turned around and looked far into the tunnel, only to see a dozen or so officers walking over with flashlights.The soldiers stood up one after another. "It's Xue Enping, Master Xue. I didn't expect to come to our company to inspect. The head of the regiment is also here. It seems that this battle is not a small one." Huang Biao, who was a little drunk standing aside, poked me and said in a low voice.

"how do you know?" I asked curiously. "If there is no big battle, the division commander will not come to the grassroots company. Our division has more than 12,000 people. How can the division commander remember it, let alone visit the grassroots at this time. Guard platoon leader, look good Go!" Huang Biao said with a grin. Master Xue came among the soldiers and began to shake hands with everyone one by one, saying from time to time: "Thank you! Thank you! The hope of the people of the motherland rests on you." The head of the delegation next to him was busy making an introduction.

When Mr. Xue shook hands with Company Commander Tian, ​​Company Commander Tian seemed very excited and couldn't say a word for a long time. The division commander left after staying in the company for more than ten minutes.According to the accompanying staff officer, Master Xue will go to every company in the regiment today. Really want to fight a big battle! Company Commander Tian walked up and down excitedly in the company headquarters, and in the end he was naked and gave a generous speech to everyone with a wine glass.The soldiers excited by the company commander yelled in unison, and the entire tunnel suddenly buzzed.

Third squad leader Xu Shaobo walked over with his face flushed. "Vice mate, why don't you drink with everyone? If you don't drink today, you won't have to drink in the future. Come, have a drink!" Although Xu Shaobo was drunk and blindfolded, he was not shirtless like other fighters. "I can't, my stomach can't stand the stimulation of alcohol. Thank you!" I declined with a smile. "Fuck! What a bear bag." Xu Shaobo shook his head and left me to find other fighters. "After Shaobo retired from the army, he started a company. It is said that he has two dollars. But his wife is having an affair with someone else and is in the process of getting a divorce."

Huang Biao secretly introduced Xu Shaobo's privacy to me. "how about you?" I asked Huang Biao. "Me? Thanks to my father-in-law, after retiring, I was assigned to the county government office to do administrative work. It's neither good nor bad. My wife is in the hospital and has a good job. It's more than the top and the bottom. Unlike Lao Guo, after retiring from the army I can only go home and farm, if it weren't for this war, his brother's life would have ended here." Huang Biao lazily looked at the reflection in the wine glass, and said self-deprecatingly.

"Did the family members of the three of you evacuate together? I didn't hear you mention it." I asked curiously. "My wife and children should retreat to a safe area, but I can't confirm it now. The family members of Lao Liu and Guo Yong were all killed by the devils when they were transferred. I don't think the relationship they have formed with the devils is not counted." Cleared." After Huang Biao finished speaking, he drank the white wine in the teacup bitterly. I silently looked at Lao Liu and Guo Yong who were already drunk in the crowd. In the evening, several of our platoon leaders were called to the company headquarters for a meeting.Instructor Lao Mo chaired the meeting.As usual, Lao Mo was mobilizing again, so he was the only one who talked too much at this time.

Sure enough, our division is responsible for the flank cover of the main force's offensive route, and our company has assault missions. The company commander repeatedly emphasized combat discipline. Each soldier should bring 30% more ammunition base than usual to prepare for continuous battles. Try not to bring any irrelevant personal items.The instructor repeatedly emphasized attention to air defense and concealment, and asked each platoon to protect their own missile launchers. The meeting lasted two hours before it ended.Back in the platoon, Lao Liu called the soldiers to mobilize again.None of the soldiers thought that we were going to attack, and they were all very surprised. "Everyone is a soldier, obey orders!" Huang Biao couldn't help shouting.The tunnel was suddenly quite quiet. There is nothing willing or unwilling, all the staff began to pack their luggage and prepare for battle! When everyone is so busy, I feel that there is nothing to do.Seeing that there were still four hours before departure, I fell asleep on the bed. In the middle of the night, I was woken up by Lao Liu: "Get up. The whole group will be assembled in two hours!" I looked up my watch. It was five minutes to eleven. The soldiers in the platoon were already busy setting off as a whole team, and gathered in the tunnel next to the company headquarters. The tunnel was filled with the low-pitched shouts of officers, the clash of weapons, and the rustling of rubber shoes on the ground.Everyone was sullen and serious. The assembly point of our regiment is in a huge tunnel.When we lined up and entered the tunnel, we were all shocked by the sight in front of us. The head of the regiment stood on one side, and the soldiers behind held the August 1st Army flag in their hands.The companies of the infantry regiment, including infantry companies, artillery companies, engineering companies, etc., stand in order. The company commanders of each company stand in front of their own company's queue, and the fully armed soldiers stand upright.Under the light on the wall, the rows of spears shone with a terrifying light.The 107mm multiple rocket launchers and 82mm mortars equipped by the regiment's artillery are placed majestically next to the queue. Our company followed the front company queue and arrived at the designated assembly position one after another with neat steps.Hundreds of pairs of rubber shoes made a slow and powerful muffled sound in the tunnel, like the low and majestic drumbeat during an expedition. Guo Yong in front of me is carrying an anti-tank missile launcher, with a straight back.Lao Guo snatched the launcher from me before departure. Behind us parked dozens of military trucks with camouflage cloaks. The fronts of the trucks were covered with anti-infrared camouflage cloth, and the truck drivers were all wearing individual infrared night vision goggles.It looks like we're going to the front line by car tonight. After more than a thousand people arrived, the head of the regiment patrolled along the queue.At this moment, there was an earth-shattering cannon sound outside. The battle begins! The head of the regiment ordered to rest in place and wait for the order to start.I checked the time, it was ten past zero. Everyone sit down where they are.No one spoke, and the soldiers were all excitedly listening to the mighty shelling of our army. The deafening gunfire outside continued, and after more than two hours, there was still no intention of stopping. At three o'clock in the morning, the regiment leader quickly walked to the front of the queue with a battle report he had just received. "Comrades, the battle has begun! Today, our regiment is not participating in a battle to break out of the siege, but a battle to encircle it!" Click! All the commanders and fighters who stood up immediately stood at attention, and the heels of thousands of pairs suddenly merged and made a uniform loud noise. The head of the regiment was flushed, and he waved the battle report in his hand and continued to shout excitedly: "I know, many commanders and fighters were very dissatisfied and scared after retreating all the way from Guangdong to here! Why? Because we used to be an invincible army , the teacher of heroes, but today he lost again and again!" "We are sorry for the title of hero of this army, we are sorry for the expectations of the people of the motherland, and we are even more sorry for the land under our feet." "The battle we are about to go to is to encircle the U.S. Eighth Army Group!" "We are soldiers of the Republic. Today, we will use the weapons in our hands to wash away our shame!" "Use it to defend the dignity of this army!" "Use it to defend the dignity of the Chinese people!" "Although China is big, we have no way out!" "kill!" "The head of the group who couldn't restrain his emotions finally used all his energy and opened his round eyes angrily and shouted." "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Thousands of commanders and fighters also imitated the leader and roared.The high-pitched slogan echoed in the tunnel for a long time, shaking the dust on the top of the tunnel to fall. aboard! The soldiers boarded the truck in platoons, and the 107mm rocket launchers of the regimental artillery were hung on the back of the truck.The regiment leader boarded the leading armored command vehicle. The cars started to start and lined up in the tunnel in order, waiting for the order to start. Everyone sat in the carriage anxiously waiting for the moment when the car started. "Platoon leader, I want to pee." In the darkness, a soldier whispered timidly to Lao Liu who was sitting on the outer side of the carriage. "His grandma! If you don't let it go sooner or later, why do you want to let it go now. You're a bear before you see the devil." Guo Yong, who was behind me, cursed softly. After getting Lao Liu's consent, the soldier jumped out of the truck and went looking for a place.I kind of want to laugh, the brothers are breathing heavily. Tension is inevitable.As long as there has been a battle, when a comrade-in-arms falls for the first time, the tension and fear will be much weaker. Perhaps, tonight I no longer have the good luck I had before. I began to think silently, looking around in the dark car, trying to see everyone's face clearly and remember it firmly. Those are young faces, many of them once lived silently in a corner of the world with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky.War, this wonderful thing, twists together people who have nothing to do with each other and who may never meet in their lives.We are destined to be interdependent in the years to come. Maybe my dead body will be dragged down the tunnel by one of them. Will they weep looking at my dead body? With my back against the side of the car, I looked out from the car, and my eyes fell for a long time in the shadow at the corner of the tunnel. The sound of cannons outside suddenly seemed to fade away, and I suddenly wanted to find a cigarette at this time.Realizing that this was also nervousness, I quickly changed my sitting position and straightened my waist. Set off!The regimental staff officer in command at the tunnel crossing waved the small red flag representing the departure signal to the convoy. The engines of the convoy climbed to the peak in an instant, and dozens of chariots rushed into the night like hungry beasts. Holding the side of the car tightly, we watched the long corridor that was crossed by the truck. As the sound of explosions pouring into the ears suddenly became louder, the convoy rushed up the road outside the mountain. The engineers have already repaired the uneven road that was bombed by the enemy some time ago. Trucks can pass on the road, but the driving speed must be reduced. The lights of the truck were not on, and the drivers, wearing infrared night vision goggles, carefully followed the vehicles ahead. The speed of the truck went up and down, and gradually we passed our outer defensive positions. Looking up the mountain from the back of the carriage, our army's huge heavy artillery group did not stop firing at all. Numerous artillery positions on the mountain were pouring grenades and cannon shells of various calibers.Occasionally, multiple rocket launchers join in the chorus, and the scarlet rocket trajectory instantly illuminates the sky red. The trajectory of countless rockets and other artillery shells hangs on the horizon like a casually waved waterfall, forming a spectacular scene. The fierce shooting of the artillery group was like the neighing of countless rumbling steel giants.The whole mountain looked like a wounded giant waking up, radiating vengeance, roaring and showering death upon its enemies. This is the first world-class large-scale modern conventional war since mankind entered the 21st century. Tonight, in the hinterland of China, the Chinese finally launched a large-scale strategic counterattack on the western and northern fronts at the same time. The more than 900,000 troops of the Southwest Front Army and the more than 2 million troops of the Northern Front Army are like two huge sickles cutting towards the enemy along the two wings.The goal of this campaign is to encircle and wipe out more than 300,000 troops from the 18 divisions of the US Eighth Army Group. While the northern front army was fighting across the river, our besieged troops joined the encirclement operation. The start of this battle was completely unexpected by the enemy. The Allied Command believes that no force dares to attack it under the powerful ground-air coordinated firepower of the US military, because it is just futile to push its own small strategic maneuvering force into the arms of death.They firmly believe that on this battlefield full of modern sensors, any slow movement of the opponent's old-fashioned semi-mechanized troops cannot escape being detected by the U.S. military and slaughtered by their powerful air-ground integrated firepower, even if they are no longer afraid of death. Chinese Army. Due to erroneous statistics, the U.S. military determined that the main force of the Chinese National Defense Forces had defeated more than 150 divisions on the southern and western fronts, and the remaining regular field troops organized hastily by the Southwest and Northwest Military Regions of China did not exceed 100 divisions. And there is a serious lack of heavy armored weapons. The U.S. military is preparing to continue to invest newly arrived heavy mechanized units and armored cavalry divisions on the Western Front in an attempt to break through the defense lines of Hunan and Sichuan-Guizhou-Yun areas in southwestern China before the rainy season in southern China, and completely destroy the military forces in southern and southwestern China. Industrial production capacity, and then turned to go straight to the Shaanxi-Gansu region north of the Yangtze River in China. This wishful thinking was well done, but it is a pity that in the previous stage, the Chinese resistance forces on the western front, which they thought were poorly equipped, firmly held the front line. The main force of our army in Hunan and Hubei used the mountainous terrain to delay the enemy, so that the newly invested heavily mechanized troops of the US military only advanced less than 100 kilometers in nearly a month.Today, the straight-line distance from the coast to the front line is more than 1,300 kilometers at the farthest point. Such a long transportation distance greatly reduces the efficiency of the enemy's battlefield support. Now the Western Front Assault Group of the U.S. Army has fallen into exhaustion, and the Southern Assault Group is also firmly stuck by the field troops of our Yunguanggui Military Region, let alone launching a new large-scale outflanking operation plan. The main force of the enemy's southern assault group and the western assault group are more than 700 kilometers apart. They have realized that the troops in the two places are in danger of being divided and surrounded, but they are still overestimating the combat effectiveness of their ground troops.The enemy also temporarily lacks sufficient supplies to carry out strategic maneuvers, so this huge gap has not been substantially filled. It is only planned to fill the defense line after the arrival of cutting-edge heavy mechanized reinforcements a week later. Our army launched a strategic counterattack when the enemy's large-scale reinforcements had not yet arrived. We planned to make full use of the mistakes in the enemy's existing strategic arrangements. Carry out encirclement operations. Within a radius of 500 kilometers in the east and south of us, there are 200,000 enemy mechanized ground troops distributed; and behind us, there are more than 600,000 reinforcements from the enemy gradually arriving, all of them are heavily equipped mechanized troops ! In the assault direction of our Southwest Front Army and the Southern Front Army, there are three divisions of the so-called Allied Forces of the Five Nations, the 82nd Airborne Division and the 24th Division that the US military has withdrawn from the front line for rectification, with a total of 90,000 ground troops; Two divisions of the Allied Forces of the United States and the 19th, 20th, and 17th Divisions of the US Army totaled more than 100,000 troops. In the east, there was a division of the Allied Forces of Five Nations and more than 30,000 troops from the 31st Division of the Japanese Army. On the top, there is an assault army group of about 320,000 horses headed by the U.S. Eighth Army. The enemy is strongest in the north, controlling a deep position about 100 kilometers wide and 500 kilometers long along the Yangtze River, but the enemy is suffering from local troops and guerrillas in the mountainous areas north of the Yangtze River.This battle channel is very fragile.At the same time, our northern front army has simultaneously launched an offensive on a front that is more than 900 kilometers wide. The number of troops used to encircle the enemy's assault army group on the western front exceeds one million. This does not include a large number of local troops and troops along the river. guerrillas.And one of the main forces has already begun to cross the river in tonight's assault operation. Today, our tens of thousands of exhausted troops who were heavily besieged suddenly counterattacked behind the enemy's western front, pointing directly at the rear of the enemy's western troops. Our task is to separate the enemy's more than 300,000 forward troops from the long front in the southwest, and then, like a steel gate, firmly shut down the retreat of the enemy's western front forward troops. The key to this strategic counterattack plan is how to use our troops to cooperate with the counterattack army in Hunan to implement encirclement operations.Our troops are going to attack suddenly, attack in the opposite direction in the enemy's abdomen, and cooperate with the Southwest Front Army to cut off the enemy's more than 210 kilometers wide channel with the enemy's southern theater! This will be a collision of great disparity in strength, and the commanders on both sides are full of confidence that they will win! As the flank cover force of the vanguard assault group, the target of our three infantry divisions tonight is the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. 2nd Army, which is currently about 25 kilometers southwest of the defensive area and has been beaten dizzily by my assault group. , to prevent them from evacuating along the periphery of the expressway to the provincial capital 60 kilometers away, and cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the division. Then our division will transfer, quickly expand the defense depth of our army's southern defense line at the designated location in the southwest mountainous area, and build a defensive position with a depth of 80 kilometers together with friendly forces. Three hours ago, our army's leading mechanized armored assault force broke into the enemy's front line under the farewell of the heavy artillery group.They planned to turn westward near the provincial capital city to join the Southwest Front Army assault group and cut off the retreat of the enemy's western front assault group. Now they have penetrated deeply into the enemy's line of defense more than 30 kilometers deep. After about forty minutes of driving on the bumpy road, we started to get out of the car and assemble. Countless soldiers gathered quickly in the darkness, the low name calling and the clashing sound of running weapons combined into a tense atmosphere. The trucks turned around and headed back after quickly unloading troops in just a few minutes. Jumping out of the truck, I looked around suspiciously.In the distance, about four kilometers away, the flames were soaring into the sky and the smoke was dense. It was probably the enemy's position over there. How can we gather so swaggeringly so close to the enemy? I couldn't believe my eyes at first. "Quick, don't waste time. Prepare to strike." Lao Liu saw that I was being silly and gave me a push. The company quickly completed the team under the command of the instructor Lao Mo, and everyone waited for the company commander's order. Not far from us, two engineering repair vehicles are repairing a Type 79 tank that was wounded by the enemy, and a tank soldier with a bandaged head is helping. After a few minutes, company commander Tian ran over. "The task of our company is to unite the first company and the second company to attack the position of the second battalion of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the enemy's 7th Mechanized Infantry Division. The first platoon and the second platoon will advance in two ways. I will lead the team, and each platoon will send a squad to be a pioneer search team .Pay attention to the method of advancing in threes and threes. Everyone evacuates and advances. Do not crowd into a pile. The artillery platoon is covered, and the automatic grenade launcher is ready to fire at any time. Tankers pay attention to dealing with enemy armored targets and are ready to launch at any time. The third platoon and the special platoon are the reserve team, and the company headquarters moves behind the artillery platoon. The instructor and the company headquarters move together. The whole company starts to act immediately!" After the company commander gave the order, the commanders and fighters in the same row and the second row immediately began to allocate the forward line and organize the attachments. After a while, the soldiers who set off first disappeared in the rolling hills. Lao Liu, who was not assigned to lead the battle, muttered dissatisfiedly, and turned around to slap the slow-moving fighter in the platoon. This is a hilly area outside the small city. The enemy's line of defense was torn open by our assault troops a few hours ago with a width of more than ten kilometers. Under the suppression of our army's long-range artillery fire, the enemy has obviously not reacted. But how can we attack the enemy so easily? I was cranky and followed the troops forward. Enemy armored combat vehicles destroyed by our army and other indistinguishable tracked transport vehicles can be seen everywhere along the way, and occasionally the wreckage of an enemy helicopter destroyed by our army is still burning. The artillery fire of the regimental artillery and divisional artillery units is being dispatched by the fire coordinator to slowly advance and extend the fire towards the enemy.After advancing for about ten minutes, our company's vanguard exchanged fire with the enemy.The enemy tried to stop the advance of our army relying on buildings and armored vehicles, and mortars also began to fire.The battle broke out in an instant. Lao Liu saw that the front had been marked, so he craned his neck anxiously to look.Several monitors urged everyone to exercise quickly. As the anti-tank rockets exploded one by one, the sniper firepower points of the enemy's exposed targets were destroyed one after another. The commando led by the company commander himself has rushed into the enemy's position! The soldiers in the communication class behind us kept in close contact with the battalion headquarters, and the instructor stopped from time to time to report our progress to the battalion headquarters.Sure enough, the wireless communication equipment could not be used, and the soldiers of the communication squad directly under the company headquarters could only lay field covered lines at any time to keep the communication unimpeded. The battalion artillery fire coordinator who accompanied our company's follow-up echelon continued to call artillery to shoot at the enemy's resistance hub. 82mm mortars and 107mm rockets rained down on the enemy's positions. When everyone was maneuvering forward, I walked up to the instructor and asked, "Instructor, why don't you see the devil's ground artillery and air force suppression?" "The devil must have been beaten stupid, or why the air force and heavy artillery units didn't fight back! I don't know, anyway, as long as they can destroy the enemy, it doesn't matter what they are now." The instructor is also confused.But the current situation is too good to believe. Everyone is busy rushing deep into the enemy, trying to trap as many devils as possible. Hit it to death! Soon we entered the position of a mechanized infantry battalion of the enemy's 7th mechanized infantry division. The morale of the rest of the enemy's chaotic troops was completely demoralized, and the devils rushed left and right in the town in a panic, busy breaking through, completely ignoring the blocking fire of our army's artillery fire. After reporting the general position of our company to the regiment headquarters, the instructor shouted to everyone: "Comrades, we cannot let the enemy run away so easily. The third platoon and the special platoon follow me!" After crossing two streets, we ran into a group of Japanese soldiers trying to break out.Without saying a word, the soldiers immediately dispersed, relying on the building to shoot at the enemy.The devil soldier was beaten to the ground by the sudden fierce firepower, not daring to raise his head.At this moment, an enemy tank that slipped through the net suddenly rushed out from a building not far away, and the devil infantry rushed towards us hiding behind the tank. "Anti-tank! Are there any anti-tank! Hurry up and knock out the enemy tanks!" the instructor shouted anxiously. Just as the instructor was calling for the anti-tank fighters, an anti-tank rocket shot up from a place not far from me with a hissing sound. "How to hit from the front? Damn!" I cursed dissatisfied, and looked back. A soldier leaned against the half of the concrete pile and stared nervously at the enemy tank with wide eyes, and the bazooka on his shoulder was still emitting wisps of smoke. It's Xiao Sun, the young recruit.This was probably his first fight. I hurriedly looked back to see where the bullet hit. A 120mm anti-tank rocket hit the front of the turret of this Metric M1A3 tank, but only detonated the outer draped reactive armor. Another rocket hit the tank's side armor. Unfortunately, the devil was turning the turret crazily.But the ghost soldiers hiding behind the tank were not so lucky. A few unlucky guys who were hit by the jumping shrapnel fell to the ground screaming. Although the rocket did not cause serious damage to the enemy tank, the smoke formed by the explosion temporarily blocked the sight of the enemy tank soldiers. "Stop fighting, everyone cease fire!" The instructor shouted loudly. I looked up and saw a hand stretched out from the turret of the enemy tank, holding a white shirt and waving it desperately.The enemy demands surrender.It seems that the ghost soldiers in this tank know very well that they will not be able to escape the anti-tank fire circle surrounded on all sides tonight. Leaving a few soldiers guarding the captives surrendered by the enemy, we continued to search for the enemy across the town under the leadership of the instructor. Surprising battle of annihilation! Originally, the enemy hoped to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance on our defense force guarding the mountains with the help of the small microwaves, infrared battlefield detectors and "wolf pack" battlefield reconnaissance systems densely distributed on the frontline positions, as well as the battlefield unmanned reconnaissance aircraft patrolling in the air all the time. Give devastating firepower to any breakout operation of our army at any time. Since the enemy did not expect our army to launch a surprise attack, the enemy's armored mobile units and fire support units were all gathered in assembly camps close to the sides of the highway to facilitate movement and supplies, and the defense of the entire front lacked solid fortifications.Therefore, under the coverage of our army's first round of firepower, the enemy's ground fire support force has been firmly suppressed.The assault troops of our army also used a large number of rocket mine-laying vehicles to mine the possible breakout roads of the enemy's outer positions during the offensive. When the enemy found out that the situation was not good, they had no way to escape.Except for some devils in the back position who reacted quickly and quickly retreated to the provincial capital by climbing on Hummers, most of the enemies who were still looking for the establishment and had not yet withdrawn had been divided and surrounded by our army's multiple breakthroughs. For more than 20 days, facing the enemy's unscrupulous style of play, the soldiers defending the position were filled with righteous indignation. I finally found my chance to vent my anger tonight. No one would have thought that we would launch such a large-scale assault operation tonight.Neither do we soldiers. On the south side of the town, there is still a devil mortar position that has not been taken away, and the devil soldiers are still firing shells desperately.Lao Mo commanded everyone to divide into three groups and use the blind corners of the buildings in the town to quickly reach the enemy's position.The enemy was guarding a large courtyard, and we could faintly find ghost soldiers on the heights of the buildings in the courtyard. Lao Mo copied the rocket launcher in Xiao Sun's hand, and with a little aiming, the rocket was accurately shot into the window of the building.With the explosion of the rockets, the fighters of the three routes opened fire almost simultaneously, and the grenades fell in the yard like drops, and the explosion sounded suddenly.The dozen or so enemies that remained in the large courtyard suffered heavy casualties immediately, and ghosts and wolves howled.Taking advantage of the fuss of the devils, the soldiers quickly rushed in through the courtyard wall that had been blasted open. The fight lasted three minutes and was over, we only wounded one fighter. The quick-moving Xu Shaobo led the two frustrated prisoners out of the room, looking pretty good. Lao Liu didn't fire a few shots, and scolded the enemy Xiong Bao with his mouth curled up. "Instructor, there is an enemy's prison over there, it seems that there are our ordinary people in it." A soldier searching around ran over to report to Lao Mo. "Go and have a look, let our people out." Old Mo shouted as he walked. This turned out to be a factory building of a textile factory, and the soldiers had already begun to help the common people out of it.Most of the detainees inside were young and middle-aged men, about 60 of them, their hands and feet were bound by the devils, many of them were wounded, and some of them were seriously injured. Soldiers are already using bayonets to untie these captured civilians. "Fellow townspeople, where are you from? How did you fall into the hands of the devil?" I asked as I helped a wounded middle-aged man walk out. "I am the captain of the militia in Jiaotang Township. Some time ago, many villagers who escaped from the enemy-occupied area could not evacuate in time. We organized guerrillas to cooperate with special forces in operations. The day before yesterday when I was ambushing the enemy's reconnaissance troops in the mountains, I was surrounded and died. More than half of us were killed, and the rest of us had no ammunition and were captured by the enemy." A middle-aged man with beard and unkempt face sitting on the ground next to him put down the water bottle in his hand and said.He looked very haggard and tired, with two shocking wounds on his bronzed face, and his clothes were torn. "How many people in the village have not evacuated?" Lao Mo asked. "A while ago, the devils wiped out more than 100 people in the village. Now there are only more than 900 men, women, old and children left. The young and strong were all captured here by the devils. Now it's all right, our large army finally started to counterattack . Counterattack!" The captain of the militia burst into tears, and excitedly grabbed the instructor's hand. "You retreat to the back first, and quickly send a few healthy people back to the village, gather the villagers who have not yet evacuated and move to the rear. There will be a big battle in this place soon." After Lao Mo finished speaking, he left a few soldiers to take care of the rescued common people. "Instructor! There is a child unconscious here!" Xiaoju, the cooking squad leader, hugged a comatose boy in the corner and shouted, while a little girl beside him was still crying. "There are so many things to do! Are the parents of the children here?" Lao Liu was anxious to move on, and hurriedly called the militia captain. "These two children are here to beg for food. Parents were bombed to death by devils in Guangdong!" A woman nearby chimed in. Next to him, Guo Yong suddenly walked over with the machine gun on his back, took out the first aid kit from his body, and began to bandage the child's head wound. Lao Liu's thick lips trembled a few times but he didn't make a sound. Seeing Guo Yong approaching, he also walked over and leaned over to help the crying girl. "Girl, don't cry. What's your name?" Lao Liu asked in a low voice. "My name is Zhou Zhaodi." The girl cried. "This is your brother?" Guo Yong asked while bandaging. "yes." "Are there any other relatives near you?" Guo Yong then asked. "Both my parents were killed, and my elder sister got separated on the way." The girl cried louder when she mentioned her relatives. "Hygienist! Hygienist! Send these two children to the field hospital." Lao Liu hugged the girl and shouted to the health worker. The enemy's air support force has appeared over the battlefield at this time, and the first thing to throw is to scatter ammunition outside the defense zone.It is still surprising that the enemy's air suppression and bombing density are very weak, and the F-35 attack planes that used to appear frequently have not been seen, and even the ammunition scattered outside the defense zone that landed intermittently is also lacking in accuracy. After taking out the enemy's artillery position, our small team continued to assault to the southern periphery of the town. Just after rushing out of the town, we found that a unit of our division's mechanized armored infantry mixed regiment was already cleaning the battlefield. Groups of devil soldiers were ordered to squat at the bottom of a hilly hillside. All of them had expressions of surprise and horror on their faces. They looked in disbelief at the Chinese soldiers who were not well equipped around them, happily inspecting the captured tanks and armored vehicles. , artillery and other loot. "A regiment of infantry?" Standing on the armored infantry command tank parked at the side, a commander was clearing up the battlefield under the command. Seeing our infantry unit that broke out from the town, Lao Mo asked the leader. "It's Wei Hongyi, Commander Wei, right? I'm the old Mo of the Third Company!" The instructor wiped the sweat off his face and went forward. "Oh! You are not slow. You came up as soon as we trapped a group of enemies. Just in time, these prisoners will be handed over to you. Let's go ahead and see if there are any devils who slipped through the net. By the way, there is one over there We are moving the enemy's large warehouse. Now hand it over to you." After battalion commander Wei finished speaking, he jumped into the armored vehicle and began to direct the mechanized troops to advance forward in three ways. The group of armored vehicles spewed out bursts of smoke, leaped up the hills and drove into the morning light under the reflection of the bright ballistic trajectory across the sky from time to time on the battlefield.The artillery responsible for covering the advance of the armored forces began to suppress the fire again, and shells whizzed past our heads. "what!" Lao Mo was dumbfounded at the time. Originally, I just wanted to come up to say hello and then search elsewhere to expand the results of the battle.This is good, he was captured by this battalion commander Wei. "Damn it, Ghost Red Wing, the entire armored regiment counts on you! You're still taking advantage of the infantry at this time!" Soldiers from dozens of mechanized units are launching captured vehicles, preparing to move to the rear assembly point.Lao Mo instructed everyone to leave two squads of soldiers to cooperate in escorting the prisoners and checking the supplies in the warehouse. The other 30 or so of us continued to follow Lao Mo to the place where the firefight was taking place. Organized enemy resistance has ceased.我们在后面的推进速度太慢，其他的先头突击部队早已突到敌人集结地后方去了。 跟随老默爬上山丘，我们看见远处我军机械化部队正在摧毁敌人剩余的抵抗力量。从敌人阵地里间或发射出几枚反坦克导弹，但导弹尚未够着我们的装甲车，敌人的发射阵地就笼罩在一片爆炸火光中。我们的装甲车都在启动烟雾发生器干扰敌人的激光制导导弹。 有一枚反坦克导弹击中一辆规避不及的装甲车，在猛烈的爆炸过后，一位还活着的乘员摇摇晃晃地爬出车外，翻滚着栽倒在地上。 这样的抵抗也没有坚持多久，很快，被四面包围的敌人停止抵抗。隐隐看见一群敌人高举双手从临时挖掘的掩体中走出来，我们的步兵迎了上去。 “看来今晚我们没戏了，敌人已经被消灭得差不多了。” 放下望远镜老默自言自语道。 “大家回头去打扫战场，战俘和缴获的装备注意不要遗漏，集结地在镇子中央。按班为单位，大家注意动作快一点。白天我们要进入新的防御阵地。” 镇子里火光摇曳，镇上的建筑物还在四处燃烧，许多轻质易燃品翻卷着火苗被热浪抛向灰暗的天空，空中到处飘浮着灰黑的细小灰烬。嘈杂的人群给这个历经战火破败的小镇添了些生气。镇子里到处都是押送的俘虏队和忙于搬运战利品的车辆，战士们的脸上都洋溢着兴奋的神情。 确实，这么轻松就结果敌人一个重装步兵师，对这些尚未真正历经残酷战斗的士兵们来说显得兴奋莫名。 在镇子的北面已经集结了大批抢运战利品和战俘的卡车，战士们被组织起来有序地向车上搬运物资，包括各种技术器材、补给，还有大量未开封的战场侦察设备和导弹。看来敌人被我军打个措手不及，损失惊人。我们准备的卡车数量根本不够，机械化部队也出动吉普车、工程车、装甲车等机动车辆参加到运输的工作中来。 早上八点半，我们终于和连长他们碰上面。他们在晚上的战斗中与师属装甲步兵团一部配合，一直穿插攻到几公里以外，战果累累。不过我们三连的进攻路线已经逾越战斗前划分的界线，连长带领的先头部队把一连几个作战目标给提前端掉了，两支部队差点出现误击事件。 看见全连战士都在连长的指挥下搬运物资，惟独炮排排长吴贲蹲在一边快活地嚼着缴获饼干喝着矿泉水，没捞到什么作战机会的老柳上前用手重重地敲了吴贲的钢盔一下。 “阿贲，你小子又偷懒！” “哎，老柳。我忙活大半夜，敲掉鬼子十几个火力点，该让我歇歇了。你们又没怎么累着，多干点粗活没什么。指导员你说是不是？” 吴贲谄笑着扭头冲指导员老默说道。 老柳被捏住痛脚，哼哼着用更大的嗓门指挥三排的士兵们搬运物资。 旁边路过的一连长鼻子里重重地哼了一下。 就在这时，连部通讯员跑来向田连长报告最新的命令和战报，连长听完后兴奋地跳上路边的一辆缴获的悍马车喊道：“同志们，我们的航空突击队在空军和特种兵的支援下已经将敌人第8集团军司令部给端掉了！北方方面军先头部队已渡江与我们南线部队会师！上级命令十二点以前必须撤离到后面的集结阵地上重新部署，准备对付敌人的反扑。” 胜利的消息极大的刺激了战士们的神经，大家在指挥员们的催促下干活的劲头更大。 负责打扫战场的后续部队终于在上午九点前将镇上的战利品清理搬运一空。 小镇上空笼罩的硝烟久久不愿散去，在明暗不定的火光照耀下，各个连队的军官们开始紧急集结部队。上午十点一刻，我们在高射炮兵密集的炮火掩护下向新的防御阵地开进。 小镇逐渐在我们的视线中消失，急驰的卡车开始将一支支部队迅速转移至远处的新防线。 在这里，我们将要构筑纵深近百公里的山地防御体系，对即将到达的敌人解围部队实施层层阻截。 一路上我们看见后面陆续到达的工程兵开始挖掘防御阵地，他们早就准备了大量的速干水泥和钢筋，正开着工程机械挖掘战壕和综合掩体。一眼望去，看不到头的部队已经全面开始施工，从附近村庄里动员来的部分年轻力壮的平民也和步兵们一起加入构筑阵地的工作。 在不远的地方有部队开始将铁轨拆下来准备运到防御阵地上加固掩体。 防空部队和电子对抗部队从昨天晚上开始就已经与敌人展开无形的对抗，战区的制空权、电磁控制权、战场侦察权在双方的信息对抗部队手里死死地互相拉扯着。 阴沉的天空中，敌人增援部队释放的无人攻击机已经无声地在战区上空盘旋着。 敌人的无人攻击机都是隐身型号的，普通雷达很难发现，防空兵正在利用电视成像和红外复合搜索方式探测空中目标。 随着远近高炮不断喷射的炮火轰鸣，天空中不断有燃着的敌人飞机坠落。但是随着敌人更多的无人飞机抵达战场，地面上开始有我军的机动车辆被击毁。 越过一辆击毁正冒着浓烟被的工程挖掘机，我们连的车队驶过铁路。卡车里面的战士们虽然疲惫不堪，但个个神情激动，七嘴八舌地大声讨论着。 铁路两侧，工程兵正在紧张地开挖反坦克壕沟，在我们的车队开过去后，工程兵又纷纷涌到预留的通道上将道路掘断。 向西面的方向前进大约二十公里的路程，我们到达指定的山地驻扎位置。战士们纷纷跳下卡车。 我趁着集结点名的工夫四处打量这片地区。 山下是一片不大的农村居民区，一条小河蜿蜒地穿过村庄。后面的山头有些高度，垂直海拔大约有三四百米，南北走向的绵延山峦大约有几十公里长。大部分山头都种满粗细一致的人工松树林。敌人的空中侦察部队还没有突入进来，相比前方正在进行的战斗这里太过安静了。 连长宣布这里就是我们连驻守的防线。战士们开始在连长的指挥下蜂拥攀缘上山配合随后到达的工程兵开始挖掘工事。周围绵延的山头上也全是我们的部队，一眼望不见头尾。 远处第一线阵地的防御部队大概已经开始和敌人增援部队接上火，激烈的炮击声从上午10点开始就没有停止过。 挖！拼命挖！下午的时光是在紧张的抢修工事中度过的。 我们的中、晚餐就在战壕里吃的，大家轮班倒，疯狂地配合工程兵部队抢修隐蔽工事，设置假阵地。周围村子里还没有疏散干净的老百姓也全都动员起来，几台民用小型发电机都被战士们拖上阵地。民房上的钢筋混凝土件和各种钢铁制品，只要适合构筑工事都被悉数拆下运上阵地，光防盗门就运来几十个。 工程兵开始将可以显示红外特征的特种塑料薄膜裹覆在石头上，裹在砍下的竹子上，还有一些吹好的带红外特征的模拟坦克、小型卡车、导弹发射器等等模型被安置在我们沿山坡挖掘的假阵地上。 下午两点开始，我们阵地上空出现敌人无人飞机的踪迹。接着我们的空军也开始出现在战场上空。 设在山顶的防空警戒哨不断向我们发出警告，37毫米高炮也开始向空中发射炮弹。天空中不时飘着炮弹爆炸后形成的白色云雾。凭借良好的气象条件，我们的37高炮部队连连击落了敌人的无人飞机。 不久，敌人的空中优势作战飞机和强击机也不时出现在战场上，我们的防空导弹部队开始向空中发射导弹，不一会，天空中就布满了导弹发射后的尾烟轨迹。 看来敌人不顾伤亡，决计要以最快的速度撕开我们的防线。 下午三点连部通知开会。老柳正在堑壕里指挥垒大石头，听到通知后交代几句拉上我就往连部所在的山后仅斜面阵地赶去。一进连部所在的坑道，发现几个排的头头都已经到了。 “呵，连长。你们这个指挥部不错啊！够大的，全连搁进来都没问题。” 老柳刚进去就嚷开了。 “这原来是个天然的岩洞，我们改装了一下。” 指导员老默把自己塞在一张小椅子里，挺着略显发福的肚腩正在查看地图。 emegency notice! 连长向我们通报了现在的战况。 在最前沿的我军防御部队一部已经在中午与美军增援部队先头侦察分队接火。据悉，敌人的重型装甲部队正在兼程赶往我们这条防御战线。在我们后面，敌人被合围的第8集团军目前还没有大举突围的举动，现在正在收缩防御阵地。 我们北路和西南方面军的合围作战情况好像比预期计划的要缓慢，在一些主要方向上的进攻都没有撕开敌人的防线。但渡江作战的北方方面军多部已经和南线部队会师；西南方面军的合围部队进展也非常顺利，估计临近地方守备部队将在下午四点与我们会师。 “同志们，这意味着我们将要坚守更长的时间。大家回去准备多挖掘一些备用阵地，村子里的老百姓已经开始和我们一起构筑防御阵地。通信班要多布几条通信线路，直通上级信息指挥中心的数据线路要抓紧时间连通，免得打起来指挥失灵。” 连长边抽烟边说道。他的手在挖掘坑道的时候被迸飞的石头渣子擦破皮，缠着绷带。 “大家注意，我们将要面对的是敌人有空中支援，最精锐的重装师的进攻。反坦克火器的配置阵地一定要注意隐蔽，别只顾射界，要提防鬼子制导弹药攻击。别还没等敌人坦克上来，大家就没有还手的力量了。” “还有，要注意防空袭，特别是敌人可能投掷的燃料空气炸弹，你们的氧气面具要随身携带好。我们马上要跟精锐的美军主力交战！” 指导员在一旁补充道。 “怕个！来了我们照样收拾！” 二排长大声地嚷嚷着，引起几个军官们会意的笑声。 老柳和我却没有反应。 “连长！咱们阵地怎么靠在一连里面啊？这不是给他们打下手吗？”一个排长不满地说了一句。 “操！大家别急嘛。等打起来，还不知道谁支援谁呢。” 老默不以为然地说道。 会议进行半个小时。按前一段时间的训练经验，为了抵御敌人的连续装甲突击战术，全连采用梯次部署的方式。连长重点部署了各排的防御位置和反坦克重火力点配置。 我们连要防守三公里宽二点五公里深的防御阵地，兵力和火力密度明显不足，只是这一片阵地的山地防御环境还算比较适合我们，敌人如果不投入配有合成孔径雷达的无人侦察机，就无法完全掌握我们防御阵地的部署和部队火力机动情况。 夜晚突然开始下雨，可连队继续连夜配合施工。听连长讲，据战区通报，我们的气象部队正在有计划地制造大面积降雨，现在整个交战地区已经全部笼罩在大雨之中。泥泞的长江流域丘陵地带，对装备大量机械化重装备的敌人影响是非常大的。 由于战事的发展出乎我军的意料之外，我们这一带的防御部队过早地与敌人交火影响了部队的布防工作。师部现在主要的精力放在前沿阵地的防御作战组织上了，师属炮兵团各炮群也在今天傍晚投入作战。 夜晚的大雨中，离我们几公里外的重炮部队在临时设置的遮蔽阵地不断地向前方不知名的地方发射炮弹，90式122毫米多管火箭炮群也不时来个齐射，巨大的轰鸣声在雷电的伴奏下回荡在山谷之中。 不一会儿，敌人的反击炮火也陆续落在我们的炮兵阵地周围，但我们的火箭炮部队早就在一轮齐射后跑得无影无踪，重炮部队也纷纷躲进事先挖好的坑道中去。 一整天我们连都在按计划部署第二梯次阵地的准备工作。 下午，在指挥战士们挖掘阵地的时候，我们不时地向东面看去。敌人的炮火声比上午要更接近这里。看得出来大家都比较紧张。坑道堑壕里满是雨水泥浆，战士们吃力地工作着。 夜色降临的时候，我和老柳趁着轮换休息的时间来到东面的山腰上，我举起借来的望远镜向东面看去。 远处的交火地域被浓密褐灰的烟雾笼罩着，连绵几十公里的丘陵地带都陷入激烈的交战之中。 前沿阵地的战斗已经进入白热化阶段，天空中早已布满高射炮弹爆炸后形成的朵朵烟云和防空导弹的尾烟轨迹。自开战以后就少见的我们空军部队也出现了，不时有缠斗在一起的战斗机以音速掠过我们这片阵地上空，刺耳的爆鸣让我不得不掩上耳朵。看来我们的空军也投入数量不菲的作战飞机参战，每隔几分钟我们就能看见某架飞机在空中爆炸。空战处于胶着状态。 看着天空中不时掠过的战机，老柳手舞足蹈地比画着说，这是我们的苏-27，那是我们的歼-7M，可是我怎么看都怎么觉得那所谓的苏-27像是苏30-MKK型的。 逐渐，黑暗慢慢吞噬着周围的景物。山下的村庄随着黑暗的降临，一点一点地融入周围笼罩着雨幕的黛青色山坡里。 就在我们俩恋恋不舍地逡巡着远处的景致的时候，天空中传来一道道凄厉的，火箭弹穿行在空气中的剧烈摩擦声。 “敌人火箭弹齐射！大家快躲！” 老柳大声地朝山上正在施工的战士们高声喊道。 脸色苍白，老柳眼睛直勾勾地寻找着天空迅速下坠的火箭弹，人却迅速地拽着我朝坑道口跑去。 几秒钟后，敌人的齐射增程火箭弹砸了下来。 火箭弹的齐射覆盖了我们营和后面防空部队的阵地。真是见鬼，我们距离敌人先头部队都有将近三十公里的距离，更何况他们的远程压制火力。 敌人怎么发现我们阵地的？还进行了如此准确突然的火力覆盖？ 希望是盲目射击。 老柳和我急忙忙跑回施工现场。还好，我们排没有人员伤亡，只是损失一些工程设备，山上的植被树林已经被炮火狠狠地切了一遍，满地都是，严重影响大家继续施工。 连长正在清点人员，其他排和工程兵部队出现大量伤亡。都是没有真正经历过残酷战争的新战士，他们在敌人炮击的时候盲目地趴在表面堑壕狭窄的甬道里，被四处迸飞的弹片所杀伤。 施工不可能因此停止，现在懈怠就是自杀。我们的战士已经小心很多，随时准备往坑道深处撤退。 几分钟后我们俩爬上山顶，趴在防空炮兵阵地那侧的山坡上向下看去。 还好，我们的高炮隐蔽得不错，没有在刚才敌人的火箭炮齐射中被摧毁，只有几辆来不及隐蔽的卡车被击中，炸得碎片满地。还在燃烧的汽油沿着山坡向下面流淌，形成一条明亮的小河。下面的炮兵部队正在清点人数，乱哄哄的。 回到排部，战士小孙报告说，连长刚才通知各排派一个班的战士配合团部电子对抗连进行战场检查，防止敌人空投撒布的传感器发现我们的部署和调动情况，黄彪已经带他们班出发。刚才的炮火就是这些传感器招来的。 “他妈的美国鬼子名堂多，有种就明刀明枪地和老子拼。撒什么鸟毛传感器。”老柳骂骂咧咧地又拿起风镐。 晚上，黄彪和他们班回来了。据说发现大批敌人撒布在公路两侧的传感器，还有部分山丘上也发现敌人用远程火箭弹和无人机撒布的微波及红外传感器，周围也有部队遭到敌人远程炮火攻击。 坑道中正在休息的战士们显得比较紧张，因为不知道什么时候鬼子的炮弹就落到自己头上来。 “排长，明天早上还要再出去检查一次。”黄彪说道。 “那你们班就跟着他们一起去吧，什么时候干完什么时候再回来。”老柳不耐烦地答道。 我们在阵地上又足足等待了七天，这七天都是在没完没了的挖掘中度过的。 这天白天我们帮助附近的反坦克炮兵连挖掘了通往后方的辅助坑道，坑道不远处就是一条小溪，郭永几个人趁休息时间狠狠洗个澡。 吃过晚饭，我们接着奉命到后面两三公里远处协助107火箭炮部队挖掘阵地，老柳光着膀子蹲在坑道里继续指挥战士们干活。工程兵部队的小伙子整夜都没闲着，拼命地用风转凿岩石。 在不时打过来的鬼子炮火干扰下，我们的工程仍然在继续。连绵的丘陵上到处都是施工队伍的身影，大家疯狂地向地表深处前进。单兵掩体变成堑壕，堑壕变成坑道，单条坑道变成纵横交织的立体防御阵地，最后整片山丘上到处密布着坑道和火力支撑点。 两天下来我们已经准备了足够一个多营部队作战的阵地，防御支撑体系包括依托岩洞的重火力阵地、纵横交错的地表堑壕、能隐蔽班以上部队有三条以上出口的藏兵坑道，最后我们还利用起伏的地形准备了十多个反斜面适合两三人一个小组的倒打火力点。周围适合阻击的山谷里还设置了大量拦阻索，预备对付鬼子的直升机和其他低空飞行器。 工程兵开始在掘开的
