Chapter 158 The nameless highland has a name (11)

It can be imagined: even Yue Dongsheng, who knows nothing, and Fang Jinwang, who is not progressive enough, have made up their minds, how enthusiastic should others be!Yes, the soldiers are hardly able to hold their breath anymore. "Why don't you call?" Don't ask, don't ask, ask several times a day. The cadres, especially the squad leaders, went to see the company commander whenever they had time, and asked their squad to be an assault squad.Squad leader Liu Tiehan not only met with the company commander several times, but also met with the battalion commander, and asked the instructor to speak for him.

This voluntary army composed of the children of peasants and workers who have turned over is not only willing to shed blood and sweat for the defense of the motherland and peace, but also competes to sprinkle blood and sweat at the front, striving to be the vanguard of the main attack. The small bugleman Gao Jiabao asked the company commander to take him to the battlefield, and the company commander shook his head. "You don't need to blow the horn on the battlefield! You don't have experience, you look after your home!" "If I am too old to go to the battlefield, how can I gain experience? Company commander, take me!" The company commander shook his head again.

The clerk didn't eat all day. The hygienist Wang Junhua gave advice to his friend: "Don't skip meals, ask, ask, ask! Also talk to the instructor, ask him to help you, and at the same time, learn your skills well!" "I'm ready! Hand grenades, submachine guns, all will be used!" "Don't brag about yourself like that! The company commander is afraid that you will ask for weapons indiscriminately, and you will suffer. You tell him this: I will follow the company commander, regardless of signaling. Can't you? The company commander will definitely nod." "Just signal, I won't do it! I want to fight!"

"You are so stupid! After the signal, what are you doing idle? So many bunkers, are they reserved for others to fight?" "Can we do that?" "That's what I do myself! There is a wounded man, I bandage one; after bandaging, I build a bunker; after building the bunker, and see the wounded again, I bandage it again! That's it, no delay!" "That's great!" "Hurry up to the kitchen and find something to eat!" The most honest and lovely Wu Sandi often smiles, showing a mouthful of white and lovely teeth.He was very satisfied. He had heard so many truths and learned so many skills in just a few days.He is also eager to play immediately.Every time it was time to go to bed, he would ask, "Aren't you going to leave today?"

He had only one concern: once he set off, how would he arrange the enamel bowl given to him by the Motherland Consolation Mission.He loves that bowl very much, because it was given to him by the people of the motherland; every day, he has to scrub it several times to prevent it from getting a little dirty.When setting off to the camp, he thought, he can't take that bowl with him; what if it breaks a little bit!Don't take it with you, if he sacrificed in the battle without lying with the most precious things, wouldn't he be sorry for the people of the motherland? For this reason, he did not eat properly for two meals.

"What's the matter? Third brother!" Deng Mingge, the deputy squad leader who cared most about the new comrades, asked.Wu Sandi spoke out.Deng Mingge said earnestly: "You don't need to take it with you. It's easy to break in a war. Don't think about sacrificing or not. With your ability and mentality, you must fight very skillfully. If you really sacrificed, you The uniforms, shoes and hats, submachine guns, and even your life, which one didn’t come from the motherland? Why bother to think about that little bowl?” "That's right!" Wu Sandi's eyes widened, he let go of that little worry, and became happy again.

Not only the soldiers, but even Battalion Commander He was a little anxious.On what day will it attack?Will the superiors allow him to go to the battlefield?He longed to know right away.At the same time, he also knew that although the morale was very strong, everyone had not yet been able to deepen the tactical thinking uniformly.He warned himself not to worry, not to worry!He must hold his breath and prepare meticulously!He should discuss tactics in detail with each group and each class, so as not to leave any worries for anyone! However, before he could do that, Deputy Master Chen had already come down to check.The battalion commander knows well what kind of person the deputy division commander is—careful and strict.On the one hand, he was a little uneasy, lest the deputy division commander's inspection would find out that his preparations were not thorough enough; on the other hand, he sincerely welcomed such an inspection, so that he and the whole battalion could objectively know whether the preparations were sufficient or not.

When they came to the battalion headquarters, the deputy division commander looked at the battalion commander and then at the instructor Lou with his extremely black and bright eyes as if trying to penetrate people.He could see that they were all very tired: the battalion commander's white eyes were thin and very red with bloodshot eyes, and the trainer not only had deep wrinkles on his forehead, but also had new creases between his brows.However, he didn't say anything. Yes, the deputy division commander is always like this: do what you do, and absolutely don't talk about it.For any job, he must first draw up a plan, then follow the plan and stick to it to the end.Even when he ate dumplings, he only ate three bowls, one bowl of five, one not too much, one not too little; he called this: eating three "cardinal numbers" - in line with military terms.

In a quiet but very clear voice, he ordered: "Put the largest sand table in the largest hole, and gather the cadres above the squad of the third company." After speaking, he sat down and took out a copy of the People's Daily, read the editorial carefully.While making arrangements, Instructor Lou said to the battalion commander: "See? The deputy division commander doesn't check our weapons. He knows how our soldiers cherish firearms! He wants to check the tactical thinking of the cadres! He doesn't go to each squad, but puts the Get everyone together to save time, and you don’t have to say a sentence too many times! We also have to learn this method of cutting corners! The two of us ‘going around’ are still the style of small handicrafts!” “Small handicrafts are not small handicrafts, I'm used to it! It's hard not to talk to the soldiers for a day, or get angry!" Battalion Commander He smiled.

They arranged the largest sand table in the "auditorium".In the sand table, there are models of Yigu River and "Lao Bald Mountain". The river is pasted with green paper, and the mountain is made of loess mud.Soybeans are used as landmines, matches are used as firepower, twigs are tied with cotton thread as barbed wire... When everyone arrived, the deputy division commander walked in slowly, approached the sand table, and sat down on it.Without any "introduction," he yelled: "Long platoon!" The tall and honest platoon leader Jin Suyu promised loudly: "Yes!" "If you take a squad from here," the deputy division commander pointed to the model of the mountain, "Go up, how many minutes can you reach the main peak? "

"Report to the chief, we are determined to attack!" Platoon leader Jin's face was covered with sweat. "I don't doubt your determination! Even without the mobilization of the past few days, you will not be brave! What I am asking is how many minutes will it take to reach the main peak?" Deputy Master Chen's voice was not loud, but he still spoke clearly and forcefully. . The platoon leader couldn't answer. Battalion Commander He blushed. "It's my fault, I haven't thought of this problem yet!" "You didn't attend the meeting of infantry and artillery coordinated operations?" "Participated! I know that before the charge, the cannons will be fired first; as soon as the cannons stop, we will attack. I was only interested in discussing how to attack the bunker with everyone, and I didn't think about the time issue!" "But time is everything! Our guns stopped, and we just attacked the bunkers one by one, so it is impossible to occupy the main peak very quickly. Only when the main peak is occupied, and then branched down, the enemy can be passive everywhere and lose contact. On the contrary , the main peak is in the hands of the enemy, so we are passive everywhere, aren’t we?” "Yes!" The battalion commander thought quickly in his heart. "I think the soldiers are wearing cotton-padded clothes, carrying seven or eight grenades, submachine guns and three hundred bullets. The mountain is steep and there are many bunkers. I'm afraid it will take at least ten minutes to reach the main peak!" "Five minutes, at most seven minutes, and occupy it! No more! The pre-war drills must be well practiced: while charging, hitting at the same time, charging fiercely, hitting flexibly, five minutes, at most seven minutes, hitting, Don't teach the enemy to take a breath! If you don't calculate the time first, what should be used as a standard for the exercise? Well, this issue needs to be studied carefully, and then the exercise should be seriously conducted! Second platoon leader!" "Yes!" Qiu Zhongyong stood up, he was a courageous and calm person, always speaking and acting slowly. "This time we attack the mountain, we have to go our separate ways and fight alone. Do we still need to organize?" The platoon leader Qiu thought for a while, and replied calmly: "It must! For example, to build a bunker, you must not go alone. You must attack alone and cover by one person. Although there are only two people, there is organization and command. " A smile appeared on the deputy teacher's bright black eyes. "That's right!" Then, he asked many questions, some of them asked a person, some of them asked everyone.Not all of the answers were correct, but they were very attentive.Finally, the deputy division commander stood up and spoke: "Comrades! The results of today's inspection did not satisfy me! You have indeed made preparations, but you have not done enough! Your preparations cannot meet the requirements of the party and your superiors. This, you have to make up for it during the pre-war drill! During the drill, you must be able to run a steep slope of 50 meters a minute, and you must assume that the bunker is in the most difficult place to break through. Take all the difficult situations you can think of Put them all out concretely, and then overcome them concretely. "Your battalion commander is the most conscientious person. I know how he leads you patiently. However, you must always think of ways to help him, and don't rely on him alone. Scheming! Everyone must have more wisdom than one person! "Everyone's determination is hard and emotions are high, which is good! However, there is a way to achieve victorious determination! Remember, firmly remember, and communicate it to every fighter!" A relatively new tactic is not easy. It makes sense.You must understand it this way: fight today's battle and watch tomorrow's development!Our army is developing every day, not conservative and backward!You will prove it in this storm! "I wish you success! Let's all go to rest!" Back at the battalion headquarters, Battalion Commander He asked to personally lead the attack: "I don't worry if I don't go by myself!" Deputy Commander Chen agreed to tell the division commander, but: "You must make sure that you are not going to build bunkers and chase the enemy, but to command!" "I promise!" Battalion Commander He said firmly. "Unless surrounded by enemies! I don't even need a pistol!" The deputy commander smiled: "If you command well, you won't teach the enemy to surround you! Battalion Commander He, I love our army! This is the most simple, brave, and disciplined people's army! We have many good The tradition should be maintained. We also have many places that are not in line with modernization, and we should catch up! You may see that I have too high and strict requirements on everyone; no! I want to teach us to fight every battle. Come on, teach this battle to play some role in the forward development of our army! As far as you are concerned, it is your responsibility to train yourself to be a man of wisdom and courage! Do you understand what I mean?" "Understood! I am in a hurry every day, and I have no culture!" "Study! What else can I do besides study?" The deputy head of AA came to inspect and give instructions in person, which is already enough for everyone to be excited, but who knows that the head of the teacher called another meeting, and even the squad leader had to attend!This is really going to be a big battle!Look, how much the chief cares about everyone!Everyone feels this way, and they feel more motivated!When you come to the division headquarters, look, who is coming in?Not only division commanders, division political commissars, deputy division commanders, but also army commanders and military political commissars! Who doesn't know, the head of the army is the old Red Army!Old Red Army!This is a name with infinite brilliance forever!This makes people immediately think of the names of Dadu River, grassland, and snow-capped mountains and battlefields!Old Red Army, upon hearing this name, who would not be excited, cheer, and be grateful for the arduousness and greatness of the revolutionary cause?What's more, seeing with your own eyes the heroes who once participated in the old Red Army!How glorious, there are heroes of the old Red Army to join the volunteer army!What an honor that such a hero should command us and be our chief! The army commander came in, and the army political commissar came in!Their history, feats, and demeanor make everyone stand in awe, lift their spirits, and feel illuminated by a cheerful, warm, and sublime light!Some people sweated, some people's faces changed color, everyone's eyes were fixed on the chiefs, for fear of missing the opportunity to see their every move, every word and every smile! The commander's stature is not very high, but the natural majesty makes him look tall.The round and slightly angular face is very fair, and the hair is very black; although he has experienced many battles and hardships, it does not make him look old, and there are only a few white hairs on his head.His military and political accomplishments kept him calm and at ease.His eyes are not only full of spirit, but also powerful.Seeing the divine power in his eyes, one can imagine that he can command tens of thousands of soldiers without making a fuss.And it is true. The cave is not small and can hold a hundred or so people.There is a long table in the middle, covered with a carpet of white ground and green flowers, and a large sand table is placed on it; the models in the sand table include not only the Yigu River and "Old Bald Mountain", but also the surrounding mountains.The commander sat down next to the sand table.Sitting down, he looked at everyone consciously or unconsciously, seeing all the people in the cave.He made them feel that he not only saw them, but knew all about them.He is a veteran of the Red Army, who has experienced hardships and tempers unique in the world, and has suffered serious injuries that are only one shot away from life and death.What is the revolutionary struggle, what is the responsibility of a soldier in the revolutionary struggle, he knows most intimately.He also wanted his warriors to be tested as he had been, and to stand up to them. The military political commissar sat down next to the commander.Like the army commander, judging by his appearance, he is still young and handsome.However, like the army commander, he is already middle-aged.The training and self-cultivation of the revolution made them open-minded and brave to fight against all evil forces regardless of their lives; in this way, it seems that age and old age dare not offend them! With a long face and big eyes, the whole body of the political commissar is lively and powerful.He is so open-minded that no one needs to be wary of him, just tell him any difficulties or worries, he will definitely help each other sincerely, and make the other party's political thinking improve and their minds more broad-minded. The division commander briefly said a few words about how important pre-battle preparations are, and then asked the corps commander for instructions. The army commander concentrated on looking at the small mountains and rivers on the sand table, and did not speak for a long time.There was no sound in the cave. "Can you say a few words first?" the army commander said to the political commissar with a smile.After speaking, he looked at the sand table attentively again.In fact, he doesn't have to speak.His coming here is enough to teach everyone that this battle must be won, and it must be won. The political commissar's speech mainly talked about the military and political impact of the attack on "Lao Bald Mountain", and encouraged everyone to make up their minds to win. The political commissar sat down, and the army commander conveniently appointed a cadre opposite to answer the question.He taught the cadre to look at the model carefully before answering.He asked several cadres the same question, and did not ask another question until he got a satisfactory answer.Finally, he stood up slowly, still looking at the sand table, and said while thinking: "Comrades! Your division commanders have already told everyone that the tactics we decided to adopt are the only ones for attacking the 'Old Bald Mountain'! You must absolutely believe in it!" He looked at the sand table again, and after watching it for a while, he smiled kindly: "Yes, this is, indeed, the only way to play!" Some people feel ashamed!The heads of the battalion and regiment of the division had instructed them again and again. Although they participated in the study and discussion, they were not enthusiastic enough and did not absolutely believe in the new tactic.Now, the commander is so earnestly giving instructions!How the chiefs love them!How zealously the chiefs have implemented military democracy! The commander continued to speak.His words are simple and clear.He first pointed out why it is necessary to make breakthroughs in multiple ways and spread them out in an all-round way. After saying a few words, the army commander paused for a while, in order to teach everyone to think.Everyone was really thinking about it, and they really believed in the instructions of the army commander. Everyone knew that the army commander was a famous general who commanded mountain warfare. Seeing that everyone raised their heads and finished writing notes, the army commander emphasized "fully spread out".He instructed: Only in this way can the enemy be unable to organize and lose command.We cut the wires when we see them, teaching the enemy to lose contact.The sooner it is fully spread, the better, and the more comprehensive the better, teaching the enemy that there is no time to fight back everywhere.By fighting like this, we can quickly end the battle and wipe out the enemy!I believe that we can capture many prisoners this time!After finishing speaking, the army commander smiled, and everyone also smiled.Yes, the enemy without organization and command will only surrender, and will not stand alone and stubbornly resist.In the end, the army commander said very solemnly: "In this kind of battle, we must strictly implement the order, and we must not take any chances! We must absolutely abide by the time, and everything must be carried out in accordance with the scheduled timetable. We are not allowed to be one minute earlier or later." One minute! In such a battle, one minute is a long time! We fire the artillery first, and the enemy will all hide in the concealment; as soon as the artillery stops, we rush up very quickly; We have already spread out! If we charge a little earlier, we will teach our artillery to inflict damage; if we are slower, the enemy will enter the bunker, and we will use our firepower together. Observing the time is the key to determining the outcome!" The army commander sat down slowly, but raised his voice a bit and said: "Okay, do you have any questions? Any questions can be raised for discussion!" He looked at everyone with majestic and kind eyes. Everyone unanimously decided to ask all questions, so as to relieve all concerns; it is an honor to personally accept the general's instructions!
