Chapter 16 Chapter fifteen

"Captain Jia, I'm Guo Yawei. Now I have to contact the former finger and call for aviation fire support. Yes! No. Fire support for theater 126. Yes, call for ammunition outside the defense area, and you will guide it. There is a place that must be used. You Do you have a map of the war zone? Yes. Good! Please look for the 538 highland in the 116 war zone. Yes, that stone mountain. Have you found it? Well, you must use individual aircraft. Yes, we will conduct electromagnetic interference and smoke cover. You have it at hand There is also an unmanned reconnaissance plane. Let it go out and try to find the Devils headquarters and armored assault fire assembly points. Yes, with a laser rangefinder, it can guide and attack important enemy targets within ten kilometers. It is best to be able to call Cruise missiles with electromagnetic bomb warheads or long-range scatter ammunition for the first round of attack, try to paralyze the enemy's command system first. Yes, please ask the air force to attack along the red corridor. The battle plan is drawn up by you, and the artillery and electromagnetic cover will always cooperate. Yes, yes! The sooner the better!"

The enemy's retaliatory artillery fire coverage is in progress, and political commissar Guo is talking loudly with the special forces captain in the choking smoke. Putting down the phone, the political commissar looked back at Qu Cheng silently, and said after a long while, "Preserve your strength and hold back the enemy." Qu Ben originally had the urge to get angry, and it was he who planned to go to Height 538 in the first place.But the political commissar has a heart of love and can only accept it. "It is possible that some positions will be occupied by the enemy. Once the defensive line is torn apart by the enemy, we will have no way to maintain the tactics of mobile defense. Up to now, the mobile defense of the armored forces poses the greatest threat to the enemy." It took me a long time to spit out this sentence.

"Without the delay and interference of various ring support points, it is impossible for us to implement tactical maneuvers. You have to pay attention, there are not many reserves. It would be great if there were a batch of landmines!" The political commissar propped his hands on the countertop and raised his head to look somewhere outside. "Delaying the enemy is our top priority, and the second is to preserve our strength as much as possible. Difficult! In this combat situation, it is impossible for us to confuse the enemy and disperse its firepower and assault force density. The key is the current battlefield information The right to perceive is almost one-way transparent to the enemy. If we don’t know the deployment of the enemy’s combat sequence, the time and location of the firepower release, it is difficult for us to persist for a long time even if we have dozens of heavy artillery cover. What’s more...”

Seeing the increasingly fierce artillery fire outside, Qu Cheng hesitated to speak. "It would be nice to put a few electromagnetic bombs on the enemy's position. Even one!" The political commissar said with emotion. "Impossible, cruise missiles with electromagnetic warheads are now more valuable than gold." Qu Cheng and the political commissar looked at each other with a wry smile. "Now the focus of the front finger is high-speed cutting to eliminate the enemy's 8th Army in the encirclement. The limited electromagnetic bombs are used to destroy the communication and command system repaired by the besieged devils." The binoculars look out to the front position.

"It would be great if there were dozens of induction landmines! We can't let everyone use explosives! Staff Officer Qian, have the explosives been distributed to the highlands?" Qu Cheng punched heavily on the map. "Regimental Commander, we've already been assigned." Staff Officer Qian replied while leaning on the exit of the tunnel. "Be careful!" The political commissar at the door shouted loudly towards the direction behind the tunnel opening, regardless of whether people outside could hear it from the deafening position. "who is it?"

Qu Cheng walked to the exit of the tunnel and asked. "It's Staff Li who is in charge of logistics, why did he come to the front?" Staff Qian replied in surprise. After a while, the devil's artillery fire began to shift.The dormant people outside took the opportunity to rush in. Staff Officer Li was covered in dirt and his face was covered in gunpowder smoke, and there were flowers on his shoulders, probably scratched by the flying shrapnel just now.Staff Officer Li leaned against the wall and panted heavily, his lungs made a terrible whirring sound, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Staff Officer Qian beat his chest and back for a while.It took a long time for Staff Li to catch his breath. "Political Commissar, Commander. There are reinforcements!" Staff Officer Li's face was full of excitement. "Ah! Reinforcement! When did it arrive? Where? How many people are there? Have you brought anti-tank equipment?" Staff Officer Qian grabbed his shoulder. "Don't worry, everyone. Speak slowly." The political commissar stopped the anxious Staff Officer Qian and asked, standing in front of Staff Officer Li. "There are two reinforced companies with eight anti-tank missile launchers, as well as anti-tank rocket launchers, as well as anti-tank induction mines and anti-helicopter mines. Hehe, hehe!" The staff officer grinned as he said.

"Ah!" Staff Officer Qian hugged the political commissar happily.Qu Cheng next to him also happily punched Staff Li. All the soldiers in the tunnel who had been watching Staff Li helplessly just now cheered in unison. Yes, reinforcements have arrived, bringing anti-tank and anti-aircraft heavy equipment. It seems that the hope of staying until dark has greatly increased. No wonder everyone is so excited. "Immediately notify Captain Jia to prepare reinforcements for the 126 theater!" The political commissar waved for the correspondent to urgently contact Captain Jia who was in command of the 112 theater.

"Break up Staff Li. Political commissar, then I will rush to the 112 theater as an acting commander and take a company. Xiaoqian, let's go." Qu Cheng said. "Try to defend the first sniper line if you can, and pay attention to preserving your strength. There are still nine hours before dark, and you must be mentally prepared to repel the enemy's 20 attacks. I'm afraid there won't be so much assistance in the future. Tanks Pay attention to firing more chaff jammers during mobile defense. Also, the air defense of the theater will be left to you." The political commissar took Qu Cheng's hand and solemnly exhorted.

"Then keep the anti-slope position, and send mobile strike teams to other positions where the ring firepower tunnel is still intact. The key is the defense of the second line of defense. It seems that we must use the reserve team carefully. Staff Li, you stay here to assist political commissar." Before departure, Qu Cheng repeatedly explained the details of contacting the 112 theater. Soon after Qu Cheng set off with his chest out, the newly arrived infantry company arrived at the reserve position.The company was quickly assigned to the two theaters, and was prepared as a reserve team as planned to supplement tactical points that might be breached by the enemy.Staff Officer Li nervously introduced to the infantry company commander the current topography of the highlands in the 113 theater and the movement routes of the troops.The supplementary anti-tank firearms and induction mines were also quickly sent to the main directions of the enemy's first three attacks.

The rapidly increasing number of our fighter jets in the sky has begun to challenge the enemy's air force, which has been occupying air superiority since the early morning, and the electromagnetic countermeasure system on the eastern defensive positions stretching hundreds of kilometers and nearly a hundred kilometers deep has also entered full speed at this time. Operating status. "Captain Jia, where are you now?" The political commissar asked the special forces next to the communication machine. "Going forward. Okay, have you got in touch with the Air Force Coordinating Department? Not yet! Hurry up and get in touch." The political commissar's call was interrupted by shouts from guard soldiers at the entrance of the cave. "The enemy is coming up! Move so fast!" "Let's go!" The political commissar quickly dropped the phone and ran towards the tank. A lone knight rushed out of the tunnel and galloped along the edge of the trench to Hill 477. The engine rotated at a high speed, continuously transmitting surging power to the tracks and heavy steel wheels. The tank jumped over piles of distorted concrete walls, and the teeth-stinging sound made by the violent friction between the steel pin track and the scattered steel bars on the ground was transmitted to my ears through the sound of rumbling shell explosions around me. middle. Under the operation of the political commissar, the turret quickly rotated in all directions and was attached to the periscope, and the foggy battlefield scene flooded into my eyes. "Xiaowei, fasten your helmet. Is the protection system on?" The political commissar turned his head and realized that I was not ready for battle, and ordered loudly. "Open, political commissar." I quickly fastened the helmet. "Attention all tanks. Turn on the data exchange system and prepare to launch missiles." From the helmet headset, I heard the political commissar issue combat orders to several Type 98 tanks that entered the combat state. Aw-boom! A 155 grenade exploded on a mound not far from us with a long trembling sound, and the dust scattered radially fell on the tank one after another. "Continue to advance along the trench at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour." The political commissar was still patiently inputting the enemy's maneuvering targets that appeared on the screen into the computer one by one.The tank trekked bumpily on the hills full of bomb craters. The soil that was soaked by the rain all night had already been baked into fine dry powder by the endless hot artillery fire, and was blown by the speeding tracks one after another. shake up. If you walk from a high altitude to the ground, you can see that two teams of armored combat vehicles are gradually approaching at both ends of the battlefield.But the armored convoy in the east was obviously much more powerful, and the armored knights lined up neatly rushed towards the ruined hill position in the west from all directions. Behind the knights, there are also gunships hovering as fierce as griffins. The neatly dressed gunships will sweep away snipers who dare to show their heads at any time. Cannonballs raining down from a distance are clearing the way for this group of steel knights.The air was filled with the screeching sound of shells gliding at high speed, the shells pounding heavily on the ground made intensive drumbeats, and dense columns of smoke and dust stood high on the trembling hills to the west.The attackers also have homing shells ready to be summoned from the sky, the lightning bolts of the gods that can destroy anyone who dares to strike back. The group of armored chariots marching in a neat line started the assault again amidst the urging of the murderous drums. The dust raised up behind the vehicles rendered the magnificent lineup of this group of modern knights. It seemed that any opponent who dared to confront would be brave. Before the noble knights fell humble and cowardly. These are the descendants of the great crusaders, destined to be crowned with victory and glory. Compared with the brilliant lineup of knights in the east, the defenders in the west seemed silent, as if they had been overwhelmed by the mighty momentum. The defenders are silently enduring the intensive artillery fire. The bunkers are opened one by one by the artillery shells, the wounds are torn again and again, and the positions that have long been in ruins are repeatedly trampled by the fierce artillery fire. However, they waited silently, waiting for the attacker to step into range enough to be shredded.The archers drew their bowstrings one by one, and the bows and arrows of revenge were put on the strings by the snipers. Alone from their respective roosts, the heavily armored knights set out again on their destined journey, though few in number.The blood was boiling, and life was burning; the war horse was also infected by the chilling scene in front of him, his mane stood up all over his body, the horse's hoof stepped on the broken armor and weapons and made a clanging sound, and wisps of dust were kicked up by the horse's hoof.The low gunpowder smoke was pushed by the breeze on the battlefield and wandered among the hills. When the lonely knights galloped past him, the smoke and dust hurriedly moved away from the sides of the sharp spears held tightly in the knights' hands. After the cavalry walked away, they followed the desperate knight curiously. The battle broke out just as the attackers were about to step into the ruins of the castle. The sound of the automatic loader stuffing a sub-caliber sabot-piercing round into the barrel pulled my thoughts, which were still in the air, into the tank.Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, I leaned over the periscope and patiently searched the surrounding air. The phantom of an enemy helicopter flitted across my field of vision. "enemy!" I almost blurted it out. The heart in my chest began to beat violently with the rotation of the periscope, and there seemed to be only more and more rapid drumbeats left in my ear drums. "Calm down! Calm down!" I kept chanting silently, trying to calm myself down. "Be careful, go uphill!" The commissar delivered orders quickly and concisely. My periscope hadn't finished looking around for a week, and the artillery had already spewed out a stream of anger. "Three seconds?" When I was still guessing and estimating the time from the discovery of the enemy to the firing of the shells by the political commissar, the political commissar was already giving the order to maneuver in a loud voice. "Go to the right!" An automatic loader loads the rear shell into the barrel. After galloping over the bottom of a rough slope tens of meters long, the tank flew into the air from the highest point of the slope like a war horse leaping into a trench. Under the operation of the political commissar, the turret flexibly twisted to the east like its own upper body. I was pressed against the seat by the huge recoil force, and my face was still firmly attached to the rotating periscope. For the first time, the wide battlefield clearly and completely appeared in my field of vision through the periscope. The open field in front is full of noble knights charging.The tall helmets and sharp spears are very eye-catching in the dark battlefield.The shells fired from the barrel shot into somewhere in the ruins of the castle like a life-threatening spear amidst the flames and smoke. This is the great war! A lone cavalryman was suddenly thrown high by the ground from behind the hill, and the horse that kicked off the ground bravely led the defenders through the clouds. Long time no see, wide sky!There was a long-suppressed cheer in the defender's heart. The heavy skirt armor suddenly became light and nimble at this time, flapping like the wings of a Pegasus, and the battle clouds were wrapped and scattered in all directions.The cavalry straddled their horses calmly, holding a heavy spear tightly in their thick and powerful hands. The spear cluster at the tip of the spear is forged from the densest heavy metal.If you have power, then this textured spear cluster is the best carrier of power. When the horse soared to the highest point deep in the clouds, the defender's powerful arms swung suddenly. A fiery flame suddenly burst out from the left of the horse, illuminating the dim sky. The cluster of razor-sharp spears endowed with life passed through the rapidly rising and growing flames, and flew along its short life trajectory to the end of the journey. The cluster of spears gliding at high speed in the air rubbed violently with the air and quickly became red and hot. The trace of life that is less than a second short is boiling red. After struggling to throw the spear clusters, the defenders raised their heads to the sky and roared. The thick and powerful sound resounded like a horn among the hills, and the war horses trembling with the thick and long roar of the battle horn raised their front hooves even more vigorously. "Heretic! A desperate communist! What is he up to?" Some of the knights who were charging under the accompaniment of the music watched in amazement at the terrible scene before them. A heretic flew into the sky and threw a sharp spear cluster at the knights who were about to step into the defender's position. In just a few hundred meters, the spear cluster embraced an unprepared knight in the blink of an eye. This is the embrace of death. Before the poor knight could see clearly, the sharp clusters of spears tore through his beautiful and heavy armor, and pierced his heart. The knight's horse didn't know that its master had been sent to hell by the defenders, and it was still galloping happily.The lifeless knight leaned softly on the horse, the spear in his hand hanging powerlessly by his side. "Oh, God!" The knights who were still immersed in panic watched the defenders disappear into the smoke on the top of the hill dully. great war? The main battle tank fell heavily to the ground and continued to gallop forward under the action of inertia.My hand was still firmly gripping the handle of the periscope amid the violent vibrations, but I was thrown high and smashed heavily on the seat.The violent bumps made the seat hurt my thighs. "Go ahead, take the zigzag road. Pay attention to air defense!" The political commissar commanded loudly. The engine was driven to the maximum by Jiang Ye, and the tank traveled between the rugged hills.The dilapidated trenches and concrete fortresses became excellent obstacles, and the political commissar continued to use the condescending and convenient terrain to fire first. "Enemy plane!" Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of some vengeful combat helicopters. The enemy is very cautious, and only the rotor and mast are exposed from the entire fuselage.For them, it is now enough to use the sensors placed in the mast on the top of the wing to complete the detection of mobile targets on the battlefield. Our tank has been repeatedly locked by several helicopters, just because the tank's maneuvering speed has reached more than 40 kilometers per hour, and it shuttles between obstacles, which greatly affects the enemy's missile launch behavior. The political commissar had already started releasing smoke before I could turn the sight and the laser cannon sight.Hot smoke rose high all the way, covering the figure of the tank, and now the visibility on the battlefield was even worse, almost no different from that at night. "Commander, be patient, and pay attention to distinguish the interference of devils!" The political commissar reminded me while observing the battlefield. Without answering, I bit my lip and carefully observed the general direction where the enemy helicopter appeared just now. "Come up!" The figure of the Devil Helicopter pulled up appeared in my peripheral vision device, and the laser warning device beside me creaked.My muscles tensed instantly. The automatic combat system is attracted by the devil's false target!I can only manually override the laser dazzle system. After a long time, I struggled to put the enemy plane into the scope frame, and the center scale of the reticle gradually aligned with it.I held my breath for fear of startling the vulture. The moment I was about to press the launch button, the enemy plane seemed to be aware of something, and sank with a whimper.Suddenly lost the target in the scope. At this time, the tank also galloped into the bottom of a section of slope. My heart sank to the bottom of my feet, and for a long time my eyes were filled with the shadow of the helicopter rotor just now.When I regained my composure, I realized that my fingers were still nervously pressing on the firing button, twitching nervously. I didn't hear the conversation between Jiang Ye and the political commissar in the earphones at all. "Slow down! Slow down!" I comforted myself silently in my heart. Leaving the Zhou Sight, I took a deep breath and put my eyes on it again. "Missiles! Attention everyone!" With my loud exclamation, the tank began to turn flexibly and ran towards a thick smoke. It should be the helicopter just now. The devil driver slyly followed us, taking advantage of the maneuverability to seize the favorable terrain and launch two missiles.The warning lasers started beeping almost as soon as we headed up the hill. The moment I saw the missile plume, I almost despaired.The enemy helicopter is about two kilometers away from us, and the flight time of the missile needs at least seven or eight seconds. "grandson!" I cursed in my heart to calm down.The scope in his hand moved immediately, and the cross halo enveloped the helicopter that was still hovering in the air. The enemy helicopter is again preparing to maneuver out of lock. My fingers subconsciously pressed hard on the launch button as the huge target cockpit passed the center bull ring. "Hit!" I shouted excitedly. It did hit, and the Jap pilot who was hit by the laser dazzle system lost his sense of coordinates, and the enemy helicopter began to rise unnaturally and entered the effective sniper range of individual air defense missiles. The helicopter began to leave the battlefield, the tail of the helicopter twisted to the west, and the fuselage entered the glide path.Now the Jag pilots in the cockpit should start praying that they don't get caught by some anti-aircraft sniper.Blind, even if he is wearing weapons all over his body, it is just for display. missile!And those two damn missiles! I nervously patrolled for the missiles heading our way, hoping to shoot them down with the lascannon, even though the odds were slim. In seven or eight seconds, our tank should be able to drive nearly 130 to 40 meters away, and the calculated lateral distance should also be 40 to 50 meters. I felt that our tank was slow like a snail, and I couldn't help but anxiously urged Jiang Ye to get rid of the missile's scan. Although the Devil's missiles no longer have laser guidance, they should also have an automatic homing millimeter-wave and infrared dual guidance system placed in the warhead. The missiles flew towards us one after the other with a long trail of tail flames.My laser cannon scope couldn't lock on to either of them anyway. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead. "Jiang Ye, hurry up and hide! There are missiles!" I yelled and fumbled around with the periscope. The screech of the laser warning device made my brain confused for a while. Damn alarm! "Missile! Missile! Where are you?" I kept nagging in my mouth. My hands clenched the handle firmly and shook from side to side, and the fingers on the handle twitched slightly.The sweat-soaked eyepatch stuck to my face like a plaster. I held my breath again. emission! late! It was so easy to catch one from the scope, but I let it slip away! "Oh! Hateful!" I sighed in my heart. Another shell exploded not far from us, and I couldn't feel the huge shock wave of the shell through the thick turret armor. Darkness replaced the world in my eyes, and I couldn't see anything at once. A galloping horse rushed into a large cloud of smoke. However, this did not escape the pursuit of death. I have no chance to aim at the target, and I have lost the chance to calmly grasp the fate of my comrades in the turret.All that is left is to pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. But Bodhisattvas can't save us either. There was silence in the ears. Alarm failed? Staring blankly at the periscope mask in front of me, disgusting thoughts of despair crept into my mind again. Hateful powerlessness and weakness. If I had, I would never choose this kind of life. In this war, everyone is just an insignificant small part. When this machine is started, every small or great destiny is tortured and crushed by the tumbling war until it collapses and shatters.Noble or humble, no matter where you once stayed in society, you can't decide the choice of war now. Whose war is this? The tank turned suddenly, and the body began to tilt and bump at a high degree. Suddenly, the bumpy tank came to a screeching halt. Probably Jiang Ye drove the tank into a crater and stopped. I became sluggish and was suddenly thrown from my seat. I subconsciously supported something next to me so that I didn't fall down. "Why didn't it explode? Did the Devil's missile lose its target?" I guessed in confusion. A blinding flash in the periscope. The active defense system on the top of the hull is firing! I rest my eyes on the periscope again. The expansion and melting of the fireball reflected my eyes, and the blinding light forced me to temporarily close my eyes. The huge fireball rapidly expanded and reflected the thick black curtain over the tank, and the figure of death appeared and disappeared. The moment of life and death is separated by a mere millimeter. The Grim Reaper let out a long howl of disappointment in the air and then left sadly. I can't check the situation on the roof outside, but I can be sure that the grenade fired by the automatic defense system intercepted a dangerous target. That's right, the tilt of the hull allowed the tank's automatic defense system radar to catch the missile before it was nearly in the vertical line of attack, and knock it out just as the missile was about to shoot a stream of heavy metal. We literally had a brush with death. Leaning quietly on the seat, everyone did not speak for a long time.The air conditioner fan made a small humming sound, and the warm air exuded a pleasant smell of sweat. Jiang Ye unzipped the zipper and panted heavily. At this time, everyone sitting in the turret deliberately kept silent, and everyone was tasting the taste of life in unison. This is the breath of life, my already cold body is surrounded by warm air.With the bursts of breathing, my lungs gradually became comfortable and warmed up. As the breathing slowed down, the pulse that was scattered just now also gradually subsided, and I even heard the strong beating of the hearts of the two people next to me. The turret was filled with an atmosphere of survivors, and the green fluorescent screen inside the dim turret reflected Jiang Ye's long face very cutely. "Finally escaped a catastrophe!" The political commissar was the first to speak after leaning on the seat and letting out a sigh of relief. Jiang Ye also turned his face and smiled at me: "How is it! My skills are not bad! I have already memorized the terrain in this area." The political commissar patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Okay! You can be a tank soldier!" my brother! I smiled with joy running down my face.Jiang Ye's Mandarin with a touch of Zhejiang dialect turned into beautiful music in my ears. I began to re-examine everything in front of me, examining this small but vibrant world.At this moment, I cannot use words to describe my nostalgia for everything in this space.In the illusion, I seemed to see Lao Lei's smiling face. No, it's not an illusion, it's Lao Lei, it's the feeling of adversity I experienced in Lao Lei, and it's the family affection that can only be experienced by people of the same blood. A love I will never forget. Unable to restrain my impulse, I suddenly hugged Jiang Ye's neck from behind.But my hands were still weak, and I could only hang ridiculously on Jiang Ye's chest.The law of survival of the oriental nation, at this moment I seem to have an epiphany. "Don't do this, buddy! This is what I should do." Jiang Ye patted my shoulder with a smile. "Continue to fight. Can everyone persist?" the political commissar asked in a deep voice. Go ahead, if the fight isn't over.Our spears are still sharp, our horses can still gallop, and the drums on the battlefield are beating tirelessly, calling for the defenders. When my eyes were attached to the periscope, the rising fighting spirit in my heart burned my throat again and again. The sweaty Jiang Ye took off the protective clothing and threw it aside, while the political commissar was still so calm and sensitive. artillery. The proud and fearless cavalry galloped on the battlefield again, stronger and stronger. "How's the situation over there? Has Captain Jia arrived at the location?" The political commissar asked the correspondent as he got off the tank and sat at the command table. "The pilot arrived at the designated position five minutes ago. The attack aircraft is now advancing along the red corridor, and it is estimated that gliding bombs will be dropped in eight minutes. The former finger has ordered all the electronic countermeasure systems in the red corridor to be turned on. The joint air defense system is now expel the last A group of enemy fighter jets are in charge of fighting for air supremacy in the theater. The friendly special forces operating in the enemy’s rear have also effectively interfered with the enemy’s drone command system. Now we only need to pay attention to avoiding the enemy’s sudden dispatch of special forces commando units.” Sitting on the side A special forces communicator stood up and reported. "Do you know the current situation at the frontier of theater 126?" The political commissar's eyes closely followed the special forces soldier's eyes. "The enemy's artillery preparation density is very high, and the tactical points on both sides of the 126 theater were severely hit by the enemy's artillery fire. It is estimated that the enemy has carried out a long period of careful reconnaissance. Our guidance team was delayed for 20 minutes before being able to Move up." The special soldier replied. "How about the electromagnetic interference and smog cover?" The serious face of the political commissar calmed down, and he still asked worriedly. "The effect is very good. The enemy's security forces on the side of the 498 Heights were confused by the jammers and traction firepower launched by my cover force, and are now calling for long-range artillery fire and mortars to attack the trench targets." The special forces quickly finished reporting the situation. "Oh!" The political commissar fell into a short silence after the reply. "Political commissar, the leader's phone number." The correspondent handed the phone to the political commissar. Reminded by the correspondent, the political commissar raised his head in astonishment: "Is it Qu Cheng? Give me the phone." "I'm Guo Yawei. What's the situation in your place? Lost five tanks? I already know that. How about the infantry? Twenty-seven were killed and forty-one were injured. How many do you have left? Only one hundred and sixty people. Position How? The first-line positions cannot be held firmly. Then we will retreat to the second and third lines, and the second-line will retain some key points. You can redeploy. Okay, let’s talk about the situation.” "Staff Li, have we counted the casualties of 113?" The political commissar turned around and asked Staff Officer Li, who was busy at the side. Staff Officer Li hurriedly handed over the casualty statistics of the troops to the political commissar. After quickly reading the statistics, the political commissar brought together a few staff officers and began to rearrange firepower and tactics in front of the theater map. Side by side, Jiang Ye and I leaned tiredly against the corner to rest our minds.For a full hour and ten minutes of fighting, the enemy launched two consecutive attacks without stopping.The two of us have just crawled out of the water, without a dry yarn on our bodies. Just now our tank confronted the enemy for a full hour without stopping. Several tactical points in the 113 theater were repeatedly breached by the enemy's armored forces, and we rushed back and forth between these positions at high speed to fight.During the battle, the tank detachment of the 113 theater was destroyed by the guided shells fired by the enemy's mortars and the missiles fired by the helicopter. All the tank members were killed on the spot. The troops of the battalion commander Wei suffered heavy losses. Only the six tanks of the commander Han have not yet loss. The enemy has so far lost about three companies of tanks and twenty infantry fighting vehicles. This is the unit that has won all the exercises. It is the sharpest dagger of the group army. They can play the sharp knife of the assault and the steel guard.If our air defense, electromagnetic suppression, and logistical support forces are complete, the enemy will pay far more than these, and we will not lose more than half of our troops. The tactics of the political commissar made me and Jiang Ye accept everything in front of us. The political commissar was able to fire ahead of the enemy tanks every time, and once he even destroyed two enemy tanks in a row without the enemy reacting. The reaction speed of the shooting was incredible. This is a true reflection of the usual hard training.In fact, Company Commander Han's shooting skills are even better than mine—this is how the political commissar responded to our amazement. When the battle just now was almost over, we had no shells.The enemy tank that finally broke into our position turned around and fled as soon as it found us. The enemy already knew the existence of such a ghost tank and knew what it would be like to confront it face to face. We relied on our momentum to keep our frontier positions. I was not idle either, I destroyed the sighting systems of the two helicopters.In the end, the enemy helicopter simply turned around after launching the missiles indiscriminately. The missiles without laser guidance could not really pose a threat to us. They were either avoided by us or intercepted by the automatic defense system. Just now Jiang Ye climbed to the back of the turret to check the automatic defense system, and there was only one sniper grenade left. "The fuel is only enough to run about 30 kilometers. We still have a chance to drive the tank back. If there is still a chance. What a good tank, it's a pity to throw it away!" Jiang Ye said to himself with his head down. The only good thing is that we still kept the integrity of the position. However, after the sharp reduction in personnel, it is no longer possible for us to confront the enemy on the long front line.Soon this will become a forward position. "What time is it?" Jiang Ye lowered his head and asked. "Twelve o'clock." I didn't look at my watch. "It's twelve o'clock, and it will be dark in six hours. Six hours!" Jiang Ye straightened his upper body wearily. The battlefield fell into a long period of calm after a bloody battle all morning, and the enemy hadn't fired a shell for ten minutes.Already used to deafening scenes, the sudden silence made me uneasy.What storms lie behind this terrible calm?In my heart, I began to secretly outline the death journey that was about to begin. The enemy is also exhausted.The enemy launched seven large-scale attacks throughout the morning, and the armored assault group that was originally preparing for continuous assault operations lost their helmets and armor on this seemingly harmless position, causing many casualties.What the enemy urgently needs to do now is to use the battlefield reconnaissance system to evaluate the combat effectiveness of our position again and find the flaws of this Chinese army. Blind self-confidence and optimism have caused the enemy commanders to lose considerable combat power. After they realized the mistakes they made, they found that they were no longer able to hit the uppercut they were good at.They are and still have to experience the tenacity of this mysterious oriental nation.The Army, once hailed by Montgomery as the most combat-ready force on earth, was resurgent, although not so long ago their weakness was a casual after-dinner joke at officers' dinner tables.All possible threatening resistance must be destroyed before they regain their strength, otherwise, the friendly forces trapped in the huge encirclement by the Chinese will inevitably face the fate of destruction. The soldiers in the tunnel are having a simple lunch, we only have compressed biscuits and water. This war shattered our logistics support system, and a large amount of materials were destroyed by enemy bombers and long-range artillery fire at transfer stations and transportation lines.Our limited air defense force cannot maintain air supremacy in the entire theater, and the unresponsive and backward air defense missile launch system and anti-aircraft artillery units become bold props or even drag their own decorations after the radar is blown up by the enemy.Although fighting on our own soil, we still lack food and ammunition.We once assembled an astonishing number of reserve troops, but due to the weak logistics force, these troops did not play their due combat effectiveness in the war. After the command system was destroyed by the enemy, the troops could not organize and carry out operations according to the original plan Mission gone. This is modern warfare. As long as it lags behind in any link, this army is doomed to be punished by the laws of war.We can no longer fight according to the laws of war half a century ago, although we still have fearless courage. "The attack has begun!" The loud report of the correspondent attracted the attention of everyone in the tunnel, and everyone stopped their work and focused on the command post in the corner.The two combat staff officers also nervously stood in front of the switch with their hands clasped together. "All the bombs have been dropped, and the attack aircraft is returning." "Keep in touch." The political commissar raised his head and exhorted the correspondent. Everyone in the tunnel held their breath for fear of disturbing the work of the communicator.一时间阴暗的坑道里弥漫着紧张的气氛，香烟燃着后发出的淡淡香气混合着硝烟刺鼻的味道钻进我的鼻孔之中。 十分钟过去了，电话里没有动静。通信员在呼叫。 又过了漫长的五分钟，还是没有任何消息传来。通信员仍然在不厌其烦地呼叫着。 人们开始有些局促不安。作战参谋开始围着通信员转悠，不时停下来查看通信员的细小举动。通信员也不时抬起手来擦拭脸上的汗滴。 姜野的喉结非常响亮地发出吞咽口水的声音。当我转过头看他时，发现他手上的香烟已经快烧到手指，紧紧绷着的瘦尖下巴上堆满了皱褶，嘴唇半张着，胡茬醒目直拗地倒立在嘴唇上面。 我悄悄碰一下姜野用眼色示意他别紧张。姜野这时才发现自己的失态并尴尬地咧嘴笑起来，顺手擦了一把流淌在额头的汗水，姜野放松了架在左腿上一直紧绷着脚踝的右脚。 “能呼叫上他们吗？”一个作战参谋终于打断沉默发问道。 “电磁压制得厉害，联络中断了。”通信员的嗓音有些嘶哑。 “该有结果了。不会是导引部队被敌人发现了吧？”另外一个参谋低声说道。 等待，还是等待。 一个战士终于忍受不了坑道里紧张的气氛，站起身走到坑道出口处。 我拿起手中的罐头盒准备喝口清水。 “命中目标！全部命中目标！” 通信员突然站起身来高声宣布，过于激动使调门变得异常尖厉。 一个哆嗦，罐头里的水泼湿了我的前胸。 Ow!Ow!胜利了！ 坑道里顿时变成了欢乐的海洋。 战士们又叫又跳地纷纷拥抱在一起，一些战士高兴地将罐头盒、包装纸、衣服、帽子等等在自己手边的物件往空中扔去。 政委没有参加战士们的狂欢，只是微笑地坐在石头上。通信员飞快地向112战区的指挥部报告这个令人惊喜的消息。 “为特种兵们干杯！”姜野激动地朝我举起罐头盒。 “干杯！”我兴奋地同样举起罐头盒。 欢庆足足持续了好几分钟才停息下来，战士们三两个聚在一起高兴地讨论研究着战果。 “行了，大家抓紧时间休息。敌人下一步肯定要对我们阵地疯狂反扑。”政委站起来说道。 “让他们来吧，政委。” 出人意料的是敌人居然整整两个小时没有动窝，其间鬼子只试探性地发射了几百发炮弹。只是他们的无人侦察机持续不停地在我们阵地上空盘旋，引得我们的高射炮炮兵一阵忙碌。 下午两点三十分，休整了两个小时的鬼子开始猛烈轰炸。坑道里顿时忙碌起来。特种兵们已经安全撤回112战区，贾上尉又开始负责协调112战区的指挥工作。 曲成赶到我们这个指挥所和政委商量将指挥部撤到后面的高地上去。政委坚持留在这里，把曲成和参谋们赶到新的指挥所里去了，通信员带着一堆通信设备也随同后撤。 坑道里只留下几个步兵战士和我们这辆没有弹药的坦克。 我请示政委坦克是不是后撤或者干脆炸毁。 “别急！坦克还能参加战斗！”政委的回答让我们摸不着头脑。 难道我们要驾驶坦克与敌人撞击？ 难挨的炮火覆盖终于转移了，敌人新一轮集结起来的装甲部队开始发起冲锋。这次敌人集结的远程炮火和直升机突击火力惊人地强大，看来他们是决计占领并突破我们这片残破的阵地。 “上车！”政委挥手示意我们。 当我爬进炮塔准备坐在熟悉的车长位置上的时候，发现政委却已经坐在那里了。 “政委，我坐哪里？”我疑惑地问道。 “哦，你就不用和我们一起。留下和步兵们作战吧。” 政委迟疑了一下回答道。 Leave?那怎么行！ 我死活不同意政委的安排。 战事紧张，政委也没多想就同意我坐在炮手的位置上了。 “出发！我们去消灭敌人坦克和直升机！”政委豪气满怀地发出战斗命令。 “通知贾上尉，准备开努干扰机和发射烟雾弹，配合电磁对抗车干扰鬼子观测和战场监控。” 政委在座椅上停了一会后好像想起什么来，从炮塔伸出头来对通信员说道。 “希望曲成的火箭炮能摧毁一些鬼子的技术器材。我们走！” 战车在柴油发动机的轰鸣声中冲出坑道。 对126战区进行战术性突击的尝试失败后，敌人今天只能把胜利的希望寄托在攻克我们这一千多中国人驻守的112和113战区上了。由于始终没能摧毁我们的电磁对抗车，敌人的精确远程打击支援能力始终无法发挥应有的作用，而他们的空中支援力量也无法对其地面进攻部队提供前沿火力支援，因此狂攻一上午的敌人到现在还两手空空。 八千米的全频道阻塞干扰带，这是敌人无法逾越的鸿沟，无线电通信、雷达，在这八千米里全成瞎子聋子，只有激光和红外观瞄装置还能使用。在八千米外敌人是在进行一场21世纪的战争，而在八千米以内，这里却是属于19世纪。除非他们能摧毁我们放置在防线后部掩体里的电磁发射器扇面。 在中低空，凭借地面导引站和在更高位置的苏30进行协调的截击机部队正在利用红外制导的短程格斗导弹折磨着敌人的F16、F15机群。双方的电子战部队都对战区实施了大规模电磁压制。敌人始终在试图搜寻中国人的电磁发射平台，只可惜深藏在坑道中的发射平台全都有良好的掩体掩护，敌人仅仅用电磁定位系统是无法准确搜寻出我们发射器的位置的，而战区上空始终糟糕的天气和弥漫的硝烟，使得敌人使用光学侦察系统的高速高空侦察机效率始终无法提高。 电磁干扰严重，信息交换系统无法保持顺畅的工作状态，政委费力地判断着传过来的数据资料。贾上尉已经将我们信息交换系统的微波工作频率纳入管理，但他们无法阻止敌人电磁干扰车的频率干扰。 当我们跃上一处高地的时候，远处前方的战局从潜望镜里涌入我的眼帘。 我们的干扰火箭弹正在敌人进攻路线上逐个爆炸，贴地爆炸的烟球迅速膨胀并将宽阔的战场遮蔽起来。隐约可见的敌人装甲战车正在行进中发射导弹和炮弹，由于战场干扰实在严重，他们的炮火命中率有多少我们就不知道了，但有一点我们很清楚，由于现在战场电磁干扰已经超出安全限度，他们现在的火控计算机只不过是手中的昂贵摆设，更何况他们正在朝干扰源挺进。 两千米以上的距离只有激光制导导弹才能发挥作用，敌人的步兵战车正在勤快地工作着，拖曳着长长的尾焰，陶式导弹接二连三地从发射筒中扑过来。 轻巧的一个摆身，骑兵灵活地奔驰下山谷。 “政委，我们已经没有炮弹了！”我小心地提醒政委，希望他现在没有陷入冲动之中。 也许他是打算和别的坦克会合分点弹药？ “我知道。注意听我命令，看见前面的石柱子吗？贴着边上去。”政委边从车长周视仪里观察阵地边对姜野说道。 我们的烟雾发生器已经全部使用完毕，在正面无屏蔽地区我们的坦克自卫系统就只剩下激光炫目系统可以发挥作用。姜野小心地将坦克开到石柱子旁，一边还始终警惕地注意着周围的动静，准备一有情况就高速退车。 坦克现在处于车长超越射击状态，政委正在聚精会神地操作着什么。 “政委是不是疯了？” 我胡乱猜测着，眼睛仍然注视着潜望镜里的景象。 “注意！准备倒车！” 政委大声地对姜野嚷嚷，手里却没闲着。 “命中！撤！” 政委大喊起来。 打中什么？拿什么东西打中？ 我茫然地在潜望镜里查看着。 不错，确实有一辆敌人步兵战车被击中，可这是政委干的？ “上477，敌人已经攻进来了。” 政委下令道。 我忍不住发问：“政委，你打中什么了？” “制导其他坦克发射的炮射导弹，灭辆战车。妈的，干扰严重，差点脱靶！” 政委利索地回答着我，眼睛却没有离开车长周视仪。 "Good guy!" 姜野嚷了一句，抖擞着驱赶战马。 一段段的阵地被烟雾弥漫着，如同夜晚般让人看不清四周的情形。姜野几乎是凭借着记忆在阵地上摸索前进。 477高地已经被敌人坦克突破，可对手的位置我们却无法判断。在战场能见度如此糟糕的情况下，仅凭借激光测距仪是无法及时找到对手的，双方只能靠运气。 “可惜没有激光雷达！” 政委自言自语道。 近旁的爆炸火光吓我一跳，紧接着在离我们不远的地方发出一声巨响。是我们步兵发射的反坦克火箭弹。 “附近有敌人！” 姜野在高喊。 可我什么也看不见，周围是如同墨汁般漆黑的烟雾，不安的感觉油然而生，我紧握着潜望镜握把。 骑兵踏入了夜色，无边的夜色。周围的戍卫者还在与征服者艰难地对峙着，铁与火的较量在战线的每个角落中迸发。 姜野驾驶着坦克终于驶出了一片烟雾，履带辗转着碾过一条坍塌的堑壕。远处几百米的前方，一个高贵的骑士突然出现在我们面前，双方在刹那间都错愕地打量着对手。真的太近了，我几乎可以清晰地看见对面M1A3隐藏在迷彩披挂装甲下的潜望镜片。 骑士惊慌地掉转长矛，准备发动致命的一击。 双方都不由自主地将发动机功率驱赶到最大，尽量使得自己与对手的相对速度超过三十公里以上，因为，只有这样才能保证对手的命中率尽可能地下降。 火控系统不能正常工作，M1A3的反应速度显然无法保持在数秒之内捕获并准确发射炮弹。尽量将自己的炮塔正面冲着对手，M1A3终于抢先发射了一枚次口径脱壳穿甲弹。 巨大的冲击波将骑士周围的硝烟迅速搅动起来，震颤的大地表面搓起一片灰尘，骑士终于爆发了，愤然掷出一枚箭簇。 有着电一般属性的箭簇瞬间扑到戍卫者面前，炙热的弹道准确地穿过头顶将脆弱的榴弹发射器干脆利落地击飞。 在几百米远的距离上准确地击中榴弹发射器，完全可以与用弓箭射中孩子头顶苹果的威廉媲美。 完美的表演！ 可惜，骑士却无比地愤怒与懊恼，炮塔里的装填手疯狂地将另外一枚次口径脱壳穿甲弹塞进炮膛之中。 本来他想射中的是苹果下面的孩子！ 该死的射手！ 该死的异教徒，他们的身材怎么如此低矮？他们为什么不公平地将笼罩在这片土地上的禁忌取消？ 该死的战争！ 迟了！ 当骑士满怀愤怒准备发出另一枝箭簇的时候，戍卫者夺走了他们明亮的眼睛。 激光束可怕的能量融化了激光接收器光学镜片上的保护膜，脆弱的镜片出现龟裂。更加令人痛苦的是，射手的眼睛在刹那间回到夜晚，回到最黑暗的时光。 激光炫目发射器准确地击中潜望镜和激光接收器，戍卫者没有留给对手任何机会。 忍受着巨大的痛苦折磨，骑士毅然掉转坐骑，决计离开这片该受到诅咒的土地。 可是其他的戍卫者不忍心让眼前漂亮的骑士们就这样离开，两手空空的，在黑暗中。 一枚近在咫尺的反坦克火箭弹及时地与骑士的后背接吻了。 姜野继续高速地在阵地表面机动，天空中单兵防空导弹配合着37毫米高射炮弹在追逐着直升机，甚至还有40火箭弹。 整个战场如同上演着一幕杂乱的歌剧，演员们胡乱地在台前幕后来回奔跑，不知道谁是主角，也不知道剧目该上演哪一段。歌剧的导演目瞪口呆地注视着眼前的糟糕演出，尽管这场战争是他导演的，尽管这场战争的结局是他安排的。 终于有一方的演员决定暂时退出舞台，正义决定暂时让邪恶取得胜利，骑士们纷纷开始朝餐桌上的巧克力奶茶奔去，尽可能早点忘却这该死的剧目和台词！ 在戍卫者热烈的欢送焰火中，骑士们又留下几匹倒卧在泥土中难看的战马。 地面热烈的演奏再一次停顿下来。 “政委，我们没油了，只够跑大概几公里的样子。” 在坑道里姜野痛苦地提醒政委。 坐在炮塔顶上，政委一言不发地看着外面的景色，不知道他在想些什么。 “我去别的阵地找找，看看其他装甲兵有没有备用油料。” 我转身朝姜野建议道。 “估计够戗，中午的时候我已经到魏营长那里问过了，所有的战车都缺油。我们营昨天晚上已经连续战斗一夜，本来出发的时候就没有补给满。我们设在101战区的后勤基地昨天就被敌人摧毁了。” 姜野无奈地冲我摇摇头。 “准备弃车。姜野，你去弄些炸药。” 政委说完跳下战车走到坑道口朝外面瞭望。 给激光炫目系统补给的备用发动机已经被姜野关闭，坐在驾驶室里，姜野半天没有动身，只是不停地用手摩挲着方向盘。 “姜野？” 在炮塔里陪了一会我决定出去，看姜野半天没有起身的意思，忍不住问道。 “多好的坦克，干吗炸掉？你说呢？” 姜野的询问让我无法回答。 “可我们没油，也没有弹药。” 在炮塔出口顿了半天后我终于说道。 “我知道。可这是咱们装甲兵最好的武器。” 姜野摘掉坦克帽，头顶还在热腾腾地冒着气。 我无法看清他瘦长脸上的表情，在黑暗中姜野微微地叹了口气。 “现在还有多少可以战斗的人？” 政委放下手里的火箭筒朝曲成问道。 正在与其他阵地通话的曲成说完几句后转身回答道：“还有三百多人。” “伤员呢？”政委坐了下来。 “有四十多个。” 曲成边捏着手指边说道，他的脸部被敌人炮弹弹片划伤，脸颊上有个长长的口子，胡乱用块纱布贴着。 “我们已经无法保持反坦克火力阻击密度，政委同志。防空导弹也没了，就只剩四门高炮还有些弹药。” 曲成边看着外面的天色边提醒政委。 “现在几点？”政委扭头问我。 “八点二十，政委同志。”我借着昏暗的灯光看了下表。 我和政委弃车作战已经过去整整一天多时间，昨晚我被轮换的步兵接替，在坑道里草草休息了四个小时。半夜的时候又有一个步兵连队增援上来，战线被我们得以再次坚持了一个昼夜。只是因为敌人对我们的补给线一直保持了猛烈的炮火压制，我们的弹药从今天上午就开始严重匮乏。 白天我和政委参加了反坦克作战，政委一直扛着部反坦克火箭筒，而我则手提冲锋枪背着火箭弹紧跟在他身边。 天已经黑了，我们这些防守部队也逐渐退缩到最后一条防线上。112战区一些战术要点已经被敌人占领，我们现在的活动区域越来越小。韩连长在下午四点的时候阵亡，装甲营损失殆尽。魏营长手上只剩下七八辆装甲输送车可以用，但这些车辆根本不可能用来与敌人的重型坦克较量。刚才的一次战斗险些让敌人摧毁我们的电磁压制发射器，幸亏技术人员在狙击手的支援下紧急修复了发射器，否则后果不堪设想。 “曲团长，准备先把伤员撤下去。联络贾上尉，在撤退伤员的时候准备烟雾掩护。” 政委站起身对旁边的曲成说道。 “现在撤退？政委同志，能不能再推迟两个小时？没准过一会我们的远程炮兵能给我们一些支援，要是这样，我们可以坚持到天亮。” 曲成显然很不甘心这么早就作撤退的打算。 我们从昨天就开始无法制导152榴弹，因为表面阵地早就光秃秃的没有任何伪装，工程兵也早在昨天下午就已经消耗完自己手头上所有的伪装物资。而且每个可能出现我们士兵的坑道出口和掩体都被敌人自行火炮打上了标志，上阵地表面制导只能白白增加伤亡。 “团长同志，我们现在的防线太薄了。这点人手只够在这边几个高地再坚持一两个小时，也许还坚持不了。现在敌人的进攻目标已经很明确，112战区的电磁发射机已经被敌人摧毁，我们这边的发射器位置也很容易被敌人准确判断。没有电磁掩护，敌人一个冲锋我们就得全完蛋。” 政委对曲成的犹豫有些不满，虽然这个指挥员是如此渴望再继续坚守下去。 “可万一咱们的装甲反击部队准备在这一带地区实施反突击我们不就正好可以策应吗？” 曲成还是不死心。 “咱们这一带的地形虽然适合装甲部队大规模展开反击，但昨晚装甲突击群的转移位置离我们这里还有很长的一段距离。126战区后侧的机动部队可能还是打算在今晚对敌人北部侧翼实施打击，因为从那个方向他们能够得到急需的补给，同时能获得北方方面军先头部队的协同配合和红色走廊上的空军支援，发起反击作战行动才能进退自如。” “现在我们后侧的阵地驻守部队应该已经完成了防御部署。从前指今天对我们的要求来判断，他们还是希望我们以静态防御为主，尽可能地迟滞敌人。所以我们如果要想守住这里，首先必须解决后顾之忧，趁着现在还能与敌人进行电磁对抗，这几百个伤员必须先及时转移，否则背着包袱我们无法灵活作战，进退不得。” 政委搭着曲成的肩膀说道。 “好！那就先把伤员撤下去。就让魏红翼指挥撤退，他手头上就剩些没弹药的运兵车，没法作战。李参谋，通知魏红翼到这里来报到。” 曲成朝下属下令道。 快成光杆司令的魏红翼连声抗议，但在政委和曲成的严厉要求下，只能按照上级安排组织撤退。 一百多个伤员在敌人的炮火盲目拦阻射击下艰难地逐批撤退，后方阵地的防守部队安排了接引人员帮助他们通过雷区。
