Chapter 156 The nameless highland has a name (9)

Before the battle, someone has already made a contribution.This surprised and excited the whole group! Yes, the backbone of our main attack force has seen the terrain, everyone's hands have touched the barbed wire fence of the enemy's position, everyone's feet have known the mountain road to the barbed wire fence, and everyone's eyes have seen a part of the bunker. form and location.In this way, the "Old Bald Mountain" in our hearts is more accurate and reliable than the one on the military map. After five or six battles in the past, not only the trees on the mountain have been cleared, but even the terrain has changed a lot: The place becomes lower, and the lower place becomes higher, the upper soil sinks in, and the lower soil turns up; new fortifications are built, and old fortifications are buried below.

However, we can only see the side with the barbed wire; what is the situation on the back of the mountain?no one knows! An infantry platoon leader and an artillery deputy platoon leader went around behind enemy lines to scout.how did they get thereWhen did you go?Where and how?None of us should disclose casually.Their danger and audacity are as far as we can imagine.Needless to say, just imagine that the enemy found them!Then, they will definitely not stand still, and they will never come back.They must kill the enemy with the last grenade!They had already made the hardest determination before they set off.

They returned safely and reported the situation behind the enemy to the chief. The panorama of "Old Bald Mountain" was completely filled in by two heroes, risking their lives. The glorious names of the platoon leader Zhao Zuoxin and the deputy platoon leader Liu Changzhen and their achievements were spread throughout the regiment in the regiment's bulletin. This made everyone understand why those who participated in this battle must be both wise and brave.The two heroes are not only bold, but also meticulous.Where they are under attack, if they cough more, they will lose the whole situation!The soldiers also further realized that this battle must be fought with precision and accuracy, and no carelessness is allowed!

However, this is not enough to satisfy the chiefs.How many troops and how much firepower are there on the mountain?With so much barbed wire, we couldn't quite see everything.We have seen the bunker we can see, how much is there that we cannot see?The captive must be caught, and the confession of the captive must be used to corroborate our observations. Where to take prisoners?The enemy is not easy to come out alone, and we can't touch the dense barbed wire. As if it had fallen from the sky, a row of enemy soldiers not only came out, but also invaded our position.It seemed that they were not going to sneak attack us, or to scout the terrain; they carried nine light machine guns.Our sentry reports: A platoon of enemies, nine machine guns, advancing west along the north bank of the river.He also wanted to add: It is very likely that the enemy moved!But dare not say.

We sent a group of people to go.One group confronted, and the rest took the back road, and solved all the enemy soldiers.After searching, we found an enemy soldier hiding in a small hole, and we captured him alive. The teacher should ask questions in person.Captain Qiao hurried to the division headquarters. The prisoner Snow was a company sergeant in his forties, with a bald head.He is not tall, but has a big belly, and it is difficult to walk-so he refuses to run away, but hides in a small hole.His nose is not very high, and the tip of his nose glows red.A pair of gray-blue eyes are often fixed, showing a little silly.

He participated in World War II and has some combat experience.This time I came out for the platoon leader's bodyguard.The platoon leader was young and was very afraid of meeting the volunteers when he came out, so he brought along nine machine guns and old Snow as a military adviser. The regiment leader arrived at the division headquarters, but the prisoners hadn't been escorted yet—Snow with a big belly couldn't leave quickly. The division commander, division political commissar, and deputy division commander have all come to one place, and they have brought an interpreter. Master Li was very happy and kept saying: Fortunately, he has a big belly that can't run, otherwise he might have died there.What a rare opportunity, what a rare... The teacher is about forty years old.Just like ordinary people in their forties, the flesh on their faces is neither loose nor tight, and they look very comfortable.The stature is not tall, the whole body is so honest and thick.He has heavy brows and big eyes, and often has a smile on his face. His demeanor is very similar to that of a university professor.Judging from his appearance and demeanor, it can be concluded that he is a general who employs troops extremely steadily and always cares about the joys and sorrows of soldiers.Compared with the teacher commander, Political Commissar Shao is like a fierce general who is used to fighting.Tall, he speaks loudly and crisply, never dragging his feet.In fact, he was quite a learned intellectual.After living in the army for a long time, he has shed the air of an intellectual, and has trained himself to be a straightforward, consistent person with both political and military accomplishments.

Taking a deputy teacher as an example, Deputy Teacher Chen is very young, but he will be in his thirties.Not tall, he looks very delicate.He is not very talkative.When talking with others, he always lowers his head as if thinking about something, and doesn't interrupt easily.He loves to think, is good at combat command, and strictly implements the combat plan, meticulously.Therefore, lower-level cadres said that he fought "ruthlessly".His eyeballs are extremely black and extremely bright, and there is always a smile on the brightest point. Captain Qiao was taking the opportunity to report the pre-war preparations to the chiefs, and the prisoner Snow was brought in.

Snow's face was covered with sweat.Standing still, he didn't care to wipe his sweat, and first peeked at the chiefs with his gray-blue eyes.He was very embarrassed, very tired, very scared, but he also showed some arrogant, ignorant and supercilious airs unique to American soldiers.A little calmer, his arrogance increased even more, his eyes were fixed, and he nodded with a twist, showing his stubbornness.He only said through his teeth that his name was Snow, and stopped talking.When the interpreter asked him his unit number, he said in a low voice but clearly: "I am a soldier!"

The teacher taught the interpreter to give Snow a cigarette.Snow rolled his eyes, and took it with trembling hands.After taking two wild puffs of cigarettes, he looked at the chiefs again, and clearly saw the teacher's kind and smiling face.He asked if he could sit down?His legs could no longer support his fat body. "Yes." said the teacher. Sitting down, he sighed.Then, he lowered his head and smoked, as if thinking about something. Slowly he raised his head and asked the translator, "Can I ask something?" The words were translated.The teacher nodded. "What are you going to do with me?" Snow expressed his concerns.

Political commissar Shao said simply and clearly: "You are a prisoner, and we treat prisoners leniently!" Snow lowered his head to think again.This time, he didn't look up, as if he said to himself: "Who are they? Company commander? Battalion commander?" Captain Qiao asked the translator: "What is he muttering about?" The translator interprets the past as it is. "Tell him, he is bigger than the battalion commander." The regiment leader smiled. Snow thought in his mind: that "adult" is already a bit older than the battalion, and the one sitting in the middle is of course even bigger!He stood up involuntarily, and saluted the teacher very politely.The teacher looked at the prisoner with kindness and dignity.

Snow didn't dare to sit down, and asked rather eagerly: "Please forgive me for asking another question!" The teacher said: "You are only allowed to ask one more question!" "Excuse me, are you all Communists?" Political Commissar Shao laughed heartily: "We are all, and feel honored! Why, do you think we are not elephants?" Snow looked at Captain Qiao with a slightly silly look. Captain Qiao said triumphantly: "He looks like me, but the chiefs don't!" "Ah—!" Political Commissar Shao patted his thigh, "I understand! Since the October Revolution, newspapers controlled by big American capitalists , magazines, movies and broadcasts, there is not a day without anti-communist propaganda, and the Communists are always described as the most barbaric and terrible people, so this guy, seeing our teacher is so kind, he becomes suspicious. Captain Joe, he thinks you look like a party member, Your size and eyes have given you an advantage! However, you are not as good as the cowherd boy in American movies, you hit people without reaching out, and you shoot for no reason!" Snow was eager to know what the political commissar was talking about, so he glanced at the political commissar, and quickly glanced at the translator. "Give him a translation!" The teacher told the translator. "Additionally, I'm an old party member!" After listening to the translation, Snow sat down slowly and said to himself in a low voice: "It's wrong! It's all wrong!" "Of course they were all wrong!" Political Commissar Shao said, "You can see with your own eyes, who blew up all the cities and villages in North Korea, killed women and children in groups, and shot every yellow cow in the field? Is it you? Or us?" Snow's big chin rested on his chest, and he didn't move. "How many children are there in your family?" the teacher asked suddenly. Snow was stunned for a while, as if he didn't understand what he said.Then, he hurriedly fumbled in his pocket, took out a small wallet, opened it hastily, and took out a small photo.He forgot that he was a prisoner, forgot everything else, and only wanted to look at the pictures of his children and teach others to look at them.There was no sorrow on his face, and there was a cheerful light in his gray-blue eyes.Carefully and affectionately, he handed the photo to the interpreter, pointing with trembling fingers: "This is Mary, Twelve, with a small face like an apple; this is little Paul, Nine years old, amazingly naughty! Show the magistrates, look!" The chiefs looked at the photos. The teacher nodded and said, "Very good! I also have children at home!" Then he raised his voice and said, "Snow, I see, here are the differences: to protect our own children and the children of the Korean people; we He did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and came to North Korea to resist the aggression. How about you, following the orders of the big capitalists and warlords, abandoned your own children and came to massacre the children of North Korea! Do you think this is the case?” “Officers!” Snow said Standing at attention, he said solemnly and politely, "Ask me! Ask me whatever you like, and I will answer truthfully if I know it!" He automatically said his troop number. "Let me ask you, it looks like you are a veteran?" Snow interjected: "The company sergeant, who served as a general, participated in the Second World War and went to Berlin." The division commander continued: "I want to ask you this. According to your experience, are there any shortcomings in the fortifications of 'Old Bald Mountain'? You have combat experience, you should at least be a company commander!" "Oh!" Snow sighed.Yes, he has combat experience, but he can only provide bodyguards for the rich platoon leader of the young family! "Tell me your opinion!" Commissar Shao urged. Snow lowered his head to think, and really wanted to make some suggestions to prove that he knew military affairs. Deputy Commander Chen, who hadn't spoken yet, opened his mouth: "Your one hundred and twenty-five bunkers, six tanks, and the hidden department behind are indeed..." Snow interrupted again: "No! It's one hundred and ninety-five tanks. Fifteen bunkers, eight tanks! But, how do you know there is a hidden part behind?How do you know? "" If you know it, you will know it! The deputy teacher smiled. "You haven't said your opinion yet!" " "I don't know anything else, I just advise you not to attack lightly! How many weapons are there in one hundred and ninety-five bunkers? You can figure it out if you think about it! There are also tanks, mortars, and seatless guns. , flamethrowers, chemical mortars, mines! Ah! There are also dark fire points!" "In the traffic trench?" the deputy division commander asked. "That's right! If you enter the traffic trench, you will be plotted against! If you don't go in, the firepower on the ground will hit you!" "There are no shortcomings?" Political Commissar Shao asked. "I have fought fire battles, and I have never seen such a solid fortification!" The chiefs asked many more questions, and Snow answered them one by one. What Snow said is roughly consistent with what we observed, there is not much difference.The garrison on the hill now, he said, would withdraw immediately and be taken over by the Columbia Battalion. "Okay, you go to rest!" The teacher looked at his watch, it was almost two o'clock. "What's yours is yours; what you don't have, we'll give it to you!" "Thank you sir! Can I really get clemency?" "What you lack most is world knowledge and political ideas, and we will give them to you!" said the teacher. "I want to learn! Ugh, that photo!" The teacher said slowly: "Take it! I should write a letter to your family, telling your family to rest assured that you are in our hands!" "Officers! You are all sincere and reliable people!" Snow put the photo in his arms; after putting it away, he touched it carefully. "If you are not sincere and reliable, you can do whatever you say. You are not worthy of being a member of the Communist Party! Slowly you will understand!" Political commissar Shao stood up and stretched his arms. "I'm relieved!" Snow's eyes became a little wet. "I hope the war ends sooner, so I can go back and see my children!" "Washington and Wall Street will continue to invade," Political Commissar Shao said confidently. "We must resist! We must also win, because justice is on our side! If they are willing to cease the war and make peace, we are willing to negotiate! We love Peace!"
