    Not only Chu Maolin, but also Xiao Qiang who followed him didn't understand his intention immediately.

    Chu Maolin's reaction was faster than Xiao Qiang's. He looked toward Big Nose Peak in the southeast. Sparks seemed to come in and out of his eyes. He suddenly lit up, took off the submachine gun from his right shoulder, held it in his hand, and shouted: "7  Company 1st Platoon, follow me!" Then he took the lead and rushed down the mountain to the southwest along a fork in the road.  The whole battalion followed them and turned southwest.

    Sure enough, the Soviet army was confused by their actions.  In less than 5 minutes, the high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the No. 3 Peak of Xilian Mountain turned around again and fired head-on at the 1st Platoon of the 7th Company. It was obviously suspected that they were going to the west to reinforce the 4th Regiment under No. 001 Hill, which was under attack from both sides.  However, a high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the Big Nose Peak in the southeast stopped firing.

    "The troops go down to the bottom of the valley, and then quickly go east!" Liu Zongsheng seized the opportunity and shouted to Chu Maolin.  The trees at the bottom of the valley were lush and green, and the team was hidden among them, so the Soviet army could not see clearly the direction of their movement.

    This time Chu Maolin did not execute the order decisively.  Chu Maolin looked at Liu Zongsheng and wanted to say something, but stopped.  Liu Zongsheng immediately understood what he meant: According to the enemy information report before the war, there was a large minefield set up by the Soviet army in the woods at the bottom of the valley. The other party called it the "death zone"!  Liu Zongsheng's mind went crazy, and without any explanation, he turned around, grabbed the submachine gun from the guard Wei Changgui, and rushed towards the bottom of the valley first!

    Because it¡¯s too late to explain now!  This has also happened in previous battles: once his subordinates have difficulty executing an order, he will execute the order himself.  Not to set an example, time at this moment is the chance to survive.  Time is of the essence.  But he was still blocked by Chu Maolin and Xiao Qiang who were chasing after him quickly.  Chu Maolin only hesitated for a moment, but the deputy captain's actions made him feel extremely embarrassed!  He is the deputy battalion commander of the Sharp Knife Company.  At this moment, the deputy captain cannot be allowed to go to the front instead of him, even if it means death!

    Chu Maolin rushed forward without saying a word, while Xiao Qiang and Wei Changgui held Liu Zongsheng's arms on the left and right.  Xiao Qiang criticized him loudly for the first time today: "Deputy commander, you can't do this! You are the supreme commander of this unit, and your responsibility is not to replace the sharp knife platoon in minefields!"

    Liu Zongsheng calmed down a little.  Xiao Qiang is right.  But Xiao Qiang didn't understand that sometimes whether the troops can take action quickly depends on whether the top commander can act impulsively.  Even risking death to go to the front to make thunder!

    Later, Xiao Qiang also rushed to the front.  Liu Zongsheng stayed with the rest of the battalion.  As he ran, he waited nervously for the sound of mine explosions coming from the knife row.  He heard no such sound.  Chu Maolin was a brave and resourceful officer. He did not fully follow the deputy commander's order to go down to the valley bottom. Instead, he went down to a height where the trees obscured the troop's whereabouts and then turned around and headed east.  By the time the 7th Company arrived at the battalion¡¯s scheduled assembly area and attack starting point¡ªa narrow gully filled with groves on the west side of the southern leg of Highland 631¡ªno one in the entire company had hit a mine!

    Liu Zongsheng did not stop in this gully, so he followed a half-man-deep Yucrack gully to the top of the southern leg of the 631 Highland.  Highland 632 clearly appeared in front of him, followed by Highlands 633 and 634 to the southeast.  Suddenly he felt really nervous, as if he had never been so nervous in his life!

    Because they successfully concealed themselves during the last stretch of the march.  The Soviet troops on Big Nose Peak haven't noticed that they have appeared here yet!

    He quickly and carefully observed Highlands 632, 633, and 634 with his telescope.  Most of the mountains of Highland 634 were obscured by Highland 633 and could not be seen clearly. On Ridge No. 1, he felt that they were low and insignificant, but at this moment he suddenly felt that they were also tall and majestic.  But except for rocks and wormwood.  Among the pot bushes and small woods, he did not find a single Soviet soldier on the surface of any high ground.  Putting down the binoculars, he tried his best to suppress his excitement.  Order Chu Maolin to immediately lead the 7th company to attack Highland 632!

    ¡°Put up the heavy machine gun and move quickly!¡± he said.

    The 7th Company quickly circled from the southern end of the mountain leg to the foot of the mountain on the west side of Highland 632 and deployed.  Liu Zongsheng's heart tightened: among the three small highlands they were responsible for attacking, Highland 632 was closest to No. 1 Ridge and the mountain pass between No. 1 Ridge and Vulture Ridge, and should be deployed by the Soviet army the most!

    Xiao Qiang hurriedly ran up the mountain.

    "What's up?"

    "Deputy commander, the 8th company has reached two platoons!"

    "Where's the 9th Company?"

    "The 3rd Platoon of the 9th Company and the 8th Company didn't catch up!"

    In the telescope.  The skirmisher line of the 7th Company has advanced to Hill 633, but no gunshots were fired from the top of the hill!

    "Order 8th Company. Immediately launch an attack on Highland 633!" He said to Xiao Qiang without looking back.

    Xiao Qiang ran down the mountain.  Soon, the 8th company's team also passed through the southern end of the mountain leg and launched an attack on Highland 633 east-south!  .A radio operator carrying a radio hurriedly climbed up the mountain.He said to Liu Zongsheng in a loud voice: "Deputy commander, the 3rd regiment command post asked us many times whether we have reached the designated position and started the attack!"

    Liu Zongsheng lowered his head and looked at the watch on his wrist: the hands were pointing to one-thirty in the afternoon.  He frowned and said coldly: "If you report to the 3rd Regiment command post now, just say that our battalion has arrived at the attack starting position on time, and the offensive battles on heights 632, 633, and 634 are in progress!" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand again.  Use the telescope and turn your sights to heights 632 and 633.

    15 minutes passed.  Three groups of people from three platoons of the 7th Company appeared halfway up the mountainside of Highland 632. There were no gunshots on the top of the mountain yet!

    20 minutes.  One of these three streams of people - the 7th Sharp Knife Platoon - is approaching the main peak, but there is still no gunshot!

    Now that the row of sharp knives had disappeared into the mist at the top, he couldn't see clearly even with a telescope.  Still no gunfire!

    Two minutes later, the voice of Deputy Battalion Commander Chu Maolin came loudly from the walkie-talkie: "304! 304! I am 301! I am Chu Maolin!"

    Liu Zongsheng snatched the receiver from the hands of the walkie-talkie operator: "Deputy Battalion Commander Chu, report the situation quickly!"

    "Deputy Commander. The 7th Company has occupied Highland 632! There is not a single Soviet soldier on the high ground!"

    "Very good!" Liu Zongsheng said without revealing too much of his joy.  "I order you to immediately occupy positions in the direction of Vulture Ridge and organize defense!"

    "Understood!" Chu Maolin replied.

    He turned the telescope to the southeast of Highland 633 again, feeling less nervous!

    After another 15 minutes, the 8th company commander Liming Li also reported to him from the top of the highland: "Deputy commander, our company has occupied highland 633. There are no Soviet troops on it!"

    "Construct positions immediately and move to defense!" He gave Liming Li the order he had just given to the 7th Company, and did not forget to add: "Captain of the 8th Company, what's going on on Highland 634?"

    "Nothing." Liming Li answered after a while, "It's so quiet there, not a soul can be seen!"

    Instructor Cui Shian hurriedly ran up the mountain. Before he could say anything, a string of high-level dual-purpose machine gun bullets with a vibrating sound hit the bushes behind Liu Zongsheng from the Big Nose Peak.  Liu Zongsheng was taken aback. Cui Shian suddenly pushed him down into the ditch before the second string of bullets came.

    20 minutes ago.  The 7th Company began to attack Hill 632, and he heard the sound of the Soviet high-level dual-purpose machine gun on Big Nose Peak, but the gunfire was not directed at them, so he did not take it to heart.  Later, because he was focused on the 7th and 8th companies, he actually forgot about it.  The second string of bullets also fell.  The beating caused sand and rocks to fly up and down the Yucrack ditch.  Liu Zongsheng raised his head, and Cui Shian, who was blushing, said something else to him: "Deputy commander, the 9th company is coming up!"

    Liu Zongsheng knelt and straightened up from the Yucrack ditch, looking toward the south-west Big Nose Peak.

    He understood: the 3rd Platoon of the 9th Company and the 8th Company just took the route of the 7th and 8th Companies, they were the ones who led the high-level dual-purpose machine guns of the Soviet Army at Big Nose Peak here!

    "Quickly order the 9th Company to occupy Hill 634! Move quickly!" He said loudly to Cui Shi'an.  His face suddenly turned red.  The Soviet army did not fortify highland 632, which is closest to Ridge No. 1, and of course had no reason to deploy troops on highland 634, which was deep in defense.  But now the other party has discovered them.  Highland 634 will soon become the first target for both the enemy and us to fight for!  He must control it before the Soviet army!

    Cui Shian ran down the mountain leg.  After a while, a slightly chaotic team came out of the woods at the bottom of the ditch. Like the other two companies, they circled the southern end of the mountain leg and ran toward Highland 634 along the depression at the foot of the west side of Highlands 632 and 633.  Liu Zongsheng's heart twitched!

    He has no other troops available!  Only by occupying Highland 634 can the whole battalion take the initiative in today's battle!

    "I will not let the 9th Company hold on to Hill 634 for long," a new determination had formed in his heart. "As long as the 9th Company controls Hill 634 in time and the Soviet army gives me time, I will send 7  Go ahead and replace them!"

    He forgot about the high-level dual-purpose machine guns of the Soviet army on Big Nose Peak. He stood up from the ditch, widened his eyes, and watched nervously the small team running towards Highland 634.  At this moment, for some reason, his heart was painfully tightened by a thin silk thread just like before the Chinese army's bombardment at dawn!

    Since there was no food in the morning, the 9th Company's attack from the mountain stream to the 632 Highland area became even more difficult.

    After returning to the company after the meeting at the battalion headquarters, Cheng Yukun and Liang Tenghui quickly gathered the team at the edge of the forest; they also took the time to hold a meeting of officers above the squad, and then ordered each squad to go back to mobilize, prepare for the attack and join the battle  preparation.  After all this was done they returned to stand at the front of the queue.  The 7th Company, which served as the vanguard, had just rushed out of the woods on the west side of Jianxi and climbed towards the big ridge of No. 1 Ridge.

    The 9th company is the rear guardCompany, we must wait until the 8th Company is on the road before we can set off.  If either Cheng Yukun or Liang Tenghui had a little more experience, they would have thought that when the whole battalion marched in a column - not to mention climbing the steep No. 1 Ridge under the threat of Soviet artillery fire and minefields -  The departure time of the vanguard company and the rear guard company is often half an hour apart, and this time can be used for the whole company to eat.  Although a vegetable pot and a pot of rice in the Jiandi cooking class were blown away by Soviet artillery shells, the other two rice pots were still intact. They were not cooked before the Soviet bombardment, but they were cooked during the bombardment.  .  But because they had no experience and something happened during this period, the whole company still could not eat the two pots of cooked rice.

    What happened within half an hour was: After the entire battalion received the combat mission, Cheng Yukun and Liang Tenghui¡¯s mood changed.  Cheng Yukun performed heroically when the Soviet army bombarded the mountain stream.  Since then, he has always thought that he had passed the "pass", and of course he did not want to admit that the change in his mood at this time was still due to fear.  On the contrary, they thought it was caused by another kind of anxious thinking that had nothing to do with fear: The company was really going to the battlefield now, but could it really fight?  Will they really cooperate with me on the battlefield?  The most important thing is - he has never told anyone about this worry buried deep in his heart - except for 3rd Platoon Commander Shang Yujun, these people who have wives and children like him will not be as single-minded as he was before this morning.  Do you just want to survive?  If they go to the battlefield and poop on your company commander, won't you catch him blind?  !  And those soldiers - Cheng Yukun knew the company's soldiers' attitude towards him from what happened at the bottom of the stream in the morning - can you expect them to charge into battle for you?  The more he thought in this direction, the more he felt that today's affairs were going to be troublesome, and he felt that there was something else he should do before setting off!  The change in Liang Pengfei's mood was related to the deputy of Class 6 who had just been sent down the mountain by him.  Before sending Lietu's body away, he only had a mixed feeling of horror, pity, and disgust for it, and did not understand the shock it produced in his heart; after sending it away, he returned to the company headquarters shelter.  I vividly recalled the human leg on the grass in the forest, and the vividly cut limbs of the 6th squadmate who was being carried down on a stretcher. The thoughts that had been hidden in my heart suddenly became active.  These thoughts are: In the past, when I thought of dying in battle, it was just imaginary, but today I realize that death is like the 6th squad deputy just now!  In the past, when he thought of death, he was always associated with his wife and house, but now he suddenly realized that death was only his own business.  It was his own death!  The latter idea was so new and frightening to his soul that his heart, which had been frightened since last night, could no longer calm down.  When the whole battalion received the order to move to the 632 Highland area, this fear that seemed to soak into the soul was suddenly intensified.  He couldn't help but think: You can hide in the shelter here, and you will face Soviet bullets when you go to the battlefield.  What's more, company commander Cheng Yukun doesn't understand military command!  Secondly, wait for them to return from the meeting at the battalion headquarters.  The news that the deputy of squad 6 had been killed spread throughout the company.  What happened was: the 6th squad leader did not know when the body of the 6th squad deputy was taken away. When the company assembled, he crawled out of the hole and realized that the deputy squad leader was missing. He yelled everywhere and went to report to the 2nd platoon leader Cheng Fei.  Cheng Fei wanted to prevent him from shouting.  He called him aside and told him the truth.  And asked him to readjust the combat team in the class based on this situation.  Squad Leader 6's eyes widened after hearing this, and he returned to the squad without telling anyone else. However, since he had to adjust the combat team, he had to explain the matter clearly to the deputy squad leader candidate pre-selected before the war.  With this explanation, the whole company knew.

    The deputy of Class 6 was an unknown person, and many people could not even recognize him; but it was the death of such a person that made everyone suddenly feel the contingency of death and the mystery hidden in contingency.  No one paid much attention to the deputy of Class 6 when he was alive. After his death, those who knew him immediately remembered his many benefits: he was kind, not pushy, accurate with his gun, never blushed with anyone, etc., etc., and concluded with two words: good man!  But this good man became the first victim of the entire company!  No one in the queue discussed this matter, but it didn't take long for many people to quietly realize that significant changes had occurred in their hearts.  When the company gathered outside the woods, Zhang Zhongliang, a new soldier of Class 9, 3rd Platoon, burst into tears!

    The 3rd Platoon was at the rear of the company, and it took a while for Zhang Zhongliang¡¯s cry to reach the ears of Cheng Yukun in front of the line.  His nerves were already very tense, and the cry immediately made his pores explode: Who is this?  I didn¡¯t go to fight, but howled first!  What impact will it have on the fighting mood of the entire company?  !

    "Who is crying in mourning?!" He shouted angrily; he quickly rushed to the third row: he found Zhang Zhongliang wiping away tears in the queue.  Zhang Zhongliang stopped crying when he heard his angry scolding. His twin brother also rushed over and stood between Cheng Yukun and his younger brother like a guard.

    "Why are you crying?!" Cheng Yukun did not let the recruit go, his face turned red as he angrily scolded Zhang Zhongliang.  "What are you doing?! Huh? Where is your platoon leader?"

    He thought of Shang Yujun again.  If something like this happened in the platoon, why didn't the 3rd Platoon Commander ignore it?  !

    He quickly found it in the queueI was shocked to find the person I was looking for.  Compared with the morning, Shang Yujun has changed so much!  The anger that always appeared in the student officer's eyes was gone. Now there was a dreamy look that made Cheng Yukun particularly unhappy. His face was as white as a piece of tissue paper, without any blood at all.  The blood vessels under the skin can also be seen clearly one by one.  The unknown fire in Cheng Yukun's heart rose again: No wonder someone in the 3rd platoon was crying. Look at this platoon leader. As soon as he heard about the war, he was so scared that his face turned pale!

    "3rd Platoon Leader, what's going on with this soldier?! What's going on with you?!" He widened his eyes and shouted at Shang Yujun, "You don't care about it?!"

    Shang Yujun seemed to be awakened from a dream by him.  He looked at his company commander, as if nothing was clear; suddenly, his pale face gradually turned red, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

    "Company commander, he is hungry!" he said loudly.

    The sarcasm in his words was immediately felt by the surrounding soldiers.  The soldiers laughed quietly.  Cheng Yukun was even more irritated, "What do you mean?!" He shouted at Shang Yujun, turned around and walked towards the queue, unwilling to argue with the latter anymore.

    ps: Little D: "Ah Q, Mr. Zhao has been promoted again." Ah Q licked his toes and smelled it and said, "The Zhao family has fallen into a comprehensive dilemma. The family income and expenditure are out of balance, the parents have failed in management, the interpersonal communication has failed, and personal morals have deteriorated.  Anomie. We need to see the advantages of being homeless and maintain a confident lifestyle." Little D: "One more thing, the Zhao family's dog died, and I want you to go to the watch." Ah Q stood up and said: "You  You didn¡¯t fucking tell me earlier!¡±
