Everyone asked questions enthusiastically.All the concerns that I didn't dare to speak out two days ago have been expressed; otherwise, everyone feels that I am sorry for the army chief! Every question was given clear instructions by the head of the army or the head of the division, and everyone's hearts became fuller and more cheerful for a while.Only then did they deeply understand why the chiefs paid so much attention to pre-war preparations; yes, until now, they really had a bottom line in their hearts, and they were not allowed to have any ambiguities!This gave everyone a refreshing feeling, like standing on a high place after a rainy day, seeing things that are invisible or not.Listen, isn't the army commander just saying: "Before, due to limited conditions, we couldn't fight like this; today, our conditions are much better, we can and must fight like this! Tomorrow, our conditions will be even better, As knowledge and technology improve, we will fight more modernized and more ruthlessly; if the enemy does not withdraw from North Korea, they will all be wiped out in North Korea!"

The army commander squinted his eyes a little bit, looking at the end of the cave, as if he was watching, there will be a day in the future, when our thousand cannons will shoot together, and our tanks will cover the infantry, moving forward like a machine. Push forward and wipe out several regiments and divisions of the enemy at once! Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and joy. The military political commissar said with emotion: "At the beginning, when we came to North Korea with a unique rifle, so many people were worried about us! But, we believe in ourselves! We believe in our own traditions, we are brave, and we are willing to use our brains! Now, we believe in ourselves more, and we should be more thoughtful! We must not think this way: In the past, we won battles with poor equipment, but today we are much better equipped, so why bother to prepare carefully! We should understand this: The better it is, the more precise the organization must be. A machine can’t be started if a screw is broken; it’s the same with our wars now, if one person refuses to move his mind, he will miss a big deal!”

Following the words of the military political commissar, the division commander taught everyone to pay attention: "The division continues to send people to check and check all the subtle things. For example, whether the problem of defecation and defecation in the garrison cave has been solved and how to solve it! Determined and careful That is the greater determination!" After asking many more questions, a cadre from the First Battalion and Second Company raised a question: "If the third company attacks the main peak from the front, and the second company goes up from the side, they all meet up on the main peak, and then split down to press down; if the second company goes up, but the third company has not yet arrived, should we wait for the third company? How about going to our goal without waiting for them?"

This is a specific problem that is likely to occur.Everyone is waiting for the instructions of the chiefs. However, Li Zhitang, the commander of the third company, had such a strong sense of honor that he thought that the person who asked the question deliberately distrusted the third company in front of the army and division chiefs.He immediately blushed and wanted to stand up to speak. Instructor Yao Ruliang also blushed, but he grabbed Li Lianchang next to him and whispered to him: "Sit down and listen to the commander!" The army commander looked at Deputy Commander Chen. "What do you say, deputy teacher!"

Deputy Master Chen stood up and said: "If we all observe the time and strictly follow the order, we will be able to go up at the same time, and there will not be a long time difference! However, we should think of all possible situations in advance and be prepared in advance, so as not to be killed. Temporary panic! In my opinion, if the situation just mentioned really happens, the second company should leave a small group of people to guard the main peak to meet the third company, and most of the rest should follow the original plan and press down. What does the commander think?"

The commander nodded. "It also depends on whether the commander can cope with such an emergency. He must think of this difficulty in advance and prepare a way to overcome it! If you think carefully in advance, there will be no major troubles! Everyone must remember this Just a few words." AA Battalion Commander He listened to the instructions of the army chief, took a deep breath, no longer worried, he was going to conduct pre-war exercises at night immediately.Every time he thought of the words of the army commander, he said to himself: "That is really a general! What a general!"

The superior approved him to go to "Lao Bald Mountain" to command the battle.On the one hand, he was excited and happy; on the other hand, he also thought of the great responsibility.He must be worthy not only of the party and his superiors, but also of every soldier who participated in the battle. The higher-ups also agreed to the plan of the troops and candidates for the five-way breakthrough drawn up by the head of the regiment and Battalion Commander He: All the way: Three companies and three platoons are led by the company commander to storm the main peak. Second Road: The second platoon of three companies is led by the instructor, on the left side of the first road, and storms the main peak side by side with the first road.After the two groups captured the main peak, they attacked No. 25.

Three Routes: Three companies and one platoon led by the deputy company commander stormed the left side of the main peak, and then joined the No. 1, 2 and 2 routes to attack No. 25. Fourth Route: The Battalion Chief of Staff commands the Second Company.The second company, the second row and the third row were led by the company commander, and stormed the right side of the main peak. 5th Route: The 2nd Company and 1st Platoon are personally led by the battalion chief of staff, attack on the right of the 4th Route, meet up with the 4th Route at the main peak, and attack No. 27. The deputy instructor of the company commands the combat task force.

A company is a reserve force. Company Commander Li tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Shuang Xing did not sleep anymore, got up, lit the lamp, and smoked. "If you don't sleep, what are you doing? Old Li!" Yao Ruliang asked. "Can't sleep!" "Why?" Instructor Yao was still lying down with his eyes closed. Company Commander Li won't keep things in his heart. "Old Yao! I decided to go up first!" "Rush for what?" "The main peak! No matter what, I won't teach Erlian to get ahead!" "Haven't forgotten about that!"

"How can I forget? I live only when I have glory!" "At that time, my face also became hot, and I couldn't stand it! However, what they raised was a specific question, so it didn't mean they looked down on us!" No one is allowed to underestimate Sanlian!" The more Li Lianchang said, the more angry he became. "I'll charge ahead, I'll go up first! If I can't go up, my surname is no longer Li!" "Not following the time is a violation of battlefield discipline!" Yao Ruliang sat up abruptly. "Who cares! I'll go up first!"

"You'll teach us our own cannonball...!" "Being shot by one's own cannon, and not being shot by the enemy's machine gun! It is glorious to teach one's own cannon to kill!" "Company commander! You are wrong!" Instructor Yao said earnestly, "We are going to take advantage of the artillery fire taught by the enemy to stun us and attack; we must abide by the time!" Li Zhitang calmed down a little, but he was not completely suppressed. Anger goes. "Okay, just leave me alone!" "I can't ignore it! I have the responsibility to control it! Can I tell the soldiers that they don't obey the time and beat them casually?" Company Commander Li sneered: "Anyway, I'm going to charge first! Our own shelling time is short, and the casualties are limited!" "It's not like you don't know: in the past, we used one or two cannons; now, as many artillery groups as we have, a dozen can be a sea of ​​flames!" The two of them remained silent for a long time. "Old Li," the instructor's tone softened, "I'm very worried for you! The leaders of battalions, regiments, divisions, and armies have repeatedly instructed us to get through our tactical thinking. Why are you still like this?" "Ask you, Lao Yao." The company commander softened his tone, "For the sake of tactical thinking, if I fall behind the second company and make people laugh their teeth out, is that okay? No! I won't do it!" "Listen, company commander!" the instructor said very seriously, "we must strictly execute orders and absolutely obey the time! Don't forget the infantry and artillery coordinated operations! We must obey the time without losing opportunities, this is a new skill !" The company commander was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "Well, I am not a person who does not seek progress!" "Let's train our troops well from tomorrow! We are not allowed to rush around alone, each has his own status, and each has his own way! Remember what the commander said, we shouldn't take chances! Let's do it! Sleep With a bang, the instructor blew out the lamp. AA It's really a marine climate, spring rain is not as expensive as oil.It snowed a little the day before yesterday, but today it rained lightly and unrestrainedly.The clouds are very mobile, thick and thin, high and low, but the rain keeps on, and it falls very vigorously. The higher-ups issued an order to take advantage of the thick clouds and dense rain, and the enemy's planes were not easy to move, so the main attacking force could exercise during the day. As soon as the order was given, the soldiers all happily left the tunnel; if the tunnel was not low, everyone would definitely jump up inside.Everyone has heard the transmission report and learned of the commander's instructions, and they all agreed that they are absolutely serious about the exercise.In addition, being able to get out of the tunnel during the day makes everyone feel even more happy.Tunnels were a wonderful invention, but they were also suffocating; so, despite the rain, everyone was in good spirits. According to the five-way breakthrough plan, each finds the terrain that is closest to the real position, assumes barbed wire, bunkers, and trenches, discusses and attacks extremely quickly.Attack once, come down; discuss again, attack again. The mountain is steep, the stones are slippery, the soil is slippery, everything on the spring mountain is slippery, there are no trees to lift, only some moss, slippery!However, the soldiers rushed forward, regardless of danger, regardless of clothes, and regardless of their lives!They run, they crawl, they roll, they only know to follow orders, and they don't care about anything else.There are drummers in every battle group. They shout and encourage, and the soldiers also shout and encourage;Run once, no, too slow!Hurry up, do it again, do it again!The spring rain is ringing, the spring water is flowing, the soldiers are shouting, the stones are rolling, the mud is splashing, and the four mountains are ringing and echoing. Everyone's clothes were wet from the rain on the outside and drenched in sweat on the inside; the whole body was drenched with water, and it was impossible to tell which was water and which was sweat.His whole body was covered in mud, his face was covered in mud, and his head, face, and body were all steaming.Clouds, rain, mountains, people, sweat, and heat all form a black expanse, and it is impossible to distinguish what is what from a distance.The soldiers were sprinting, shouting, charging, and blasting... Li Lian ran before and after the long-distance running, ran left and right, shouting constantly, and the cold rain and hot sweat on his face flowed into his mouth.He is excited, happy, and challenges all obstacles and difficulties! He Yingchang ran no less than anyone else, but for some reason there was not much mud on his body; his clothes were all wet, but they were obviously clean.Breaking through the spring rain, his red hot face brought warmth and encouragement to the soldiers everywhere. The exercise was almost over, and a person rolled down the steep slope.Company Commander Li jumped over in two or three steps and helped him up.At first glance, it was the cadre of the second company who spoke in front of the army commander that day. Company Commander Li asked: "How is it? Is it broken?" "No! Only the ankle twisted!" Company Commander Li supported him, and said as he walked: "Comrade, if you practice this well, we will all be able to attack the main peak together!"
