    When the entire platoon withdrew from the sniper position and climbed up the northwest hillside along the rain cracking ditch, Shang Yujun turned back to look at his team.  This is the first time he has carefully observed his team since entering the battle today.  After a four-hour long journey in the morning and a fierce battle in the afternoon, and because they had not eaten anything after nibbling a few pieces of dry food in the mountain stream in the morning, they had turned into a team that was extremely hungry, exhausted, and covered in bruises.  .  In the increasingly strong mountain wind, the soldiers climbed up numbly, mechanically and unsteadily, and their tattered military uniforms fluttered piece by piece.  Shang Yujun's eyes slid over the familiar faces that now became unfamiliar. He recognized Li Yue, who was frowning and pouting his lips angrily for something;  Qu Baoxiang, deputy director of Class 8, who is in Class 9. The most pushy and talkative person on weekdays, his face is pale today, his eyes are dull, he is breathing heavily, and he must use all his strength every time he takes a step forward.  .

    Swayed by his simple, excited and intense state of mind, Shang Yujun felt that this team, which was tortured to death by hunger, exhaustion, and pain, and full of despair because it understood that they were carrying out the last attack, was actually a team.  A team that, like him, had no fear of death and only had the determination to fight to the death with the Soviet army!

    Now he recognized Zhang Zhongliang, a new soldier from Class 9, and his twin brother Zhang Zhongming, who had come to him last night to ask for a shift.  Realizing that the two people's eyes were evasive and getting farther and farther away from the team, anger quickly rose in Shang Yujun's heart.

    "Squad leader 9, order the rear to follow. Don't pull too far!" He shouted to Li Yue sternly, and stood there, witnessing with his own eyes Li Yue repeating his order to the Zhao brothers, asking them to follow the team.  , before moving on.

    Because of the cover of this Yucrack ditch and the mountain ridge line on the east side of the Yucrack ditch that separates the north slope and northwest slope of the highland, the Soviet troops in the third trench above the platform under the main peak have never discovered them.  So in less than 20 minutes, they climbed to the intersection of the fissure trench and the second trench extending from east to west.  The fissures and trenches were interrupted here. The slopes going up and to the west were all minefields, and a mine trip wire half hidden in the grass was clearly visible.  Shang Yujun realized that his and Gong Wenxuan's original plan of climbing up the rift into the third Soviet trench had failed.  At present, there is only one route left to attack the Soviet army above the high ground.  That is to move eastward along the second trench and launch a frontal attack upward under the third trench!

    The team has automatically stopped in the last section of the chasm.  The soldiers crouched under the ditch cliff and looked at him nervously, waiting for the order to take the next step.  Shang Yujun called Gong Wenxuan and Li Yue to his side, turned eastward from the rift into the second trench, lay down on the mountain ridge line that separated the north slope and northwest slope of the highland, and closely observed the Soviet troops 50 meters above.  Movement in the third trench.

    "If they had just climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, there were still people in the first trench occupied by 1st and 2nd Platoon shooting sporadically at the Soviet troops in the third trench, but now there is no such sporadic resistance there.  The Soviet army probably felt that the offensive power of the Chinese army at the foot of the mountain had been exhausted, and the riflemen and submachine gunners stopped shooting.  Only the heavy machine gun located in the middle of the third trench and the two light machine guns at the east and west ends were still pouring bullets down the mountain and to the 633 heights in the north not out of need but out of fear.

    Once the whole platoon jumps over the mountain ridge in front of them.  It is impossible to move eastward through the second trench without being discovered by the Soviet army.  At that time, the Soviet army will turn all their firepower and eliminate the last attacking team from a high position at close range!

    Only by crossing the 50-meter distance between the second and third trenches before the battle started, rushing into the third trench, and engaging the Soviet army in close combat, could they finally capture Highland 634 in a melee.  To cross this distance, you must first move eastward along the second trench to directly below the Soviet army on the northern slope of the highland. There are two communication trenches on the left and right connecting the second and third trenches. They can divide their troops.  Two ways.  Follow the two traffic trenches about 40 meters apart to move up to the third trench.  The problem is that the Soviet army will never watch them move eastward through the second trench to their front, and then move along the two communication trenches until they are in front of them!

    "Platoon leader, we can't launch an attack now!" Gong Wenxuan, who had been silently observing the enemy's situation and terrain, turned around and said, "We should wait until dark before we start taking action. The Soviet army can't see us clearly at that time. Success  You are more certain!"

    Gong Wenxuan¡¯s suggestion is undoubtedly correct.  Shang Yujun thought.  But before finalizing the battle plan, he still looked back at Li Yue, squad leader 9 beside him.  Since entering the sniper battle in the afternoon.  Especially when the entire platoon started attacking the high ground 20 minutes ago, Li Yue gave him a vague and unpleasant feeling.

    ¡°Squad leader 9, what¡¯s your opinion?¡± he asked Li Yue, his voice rising.

    &nbsp"II agree with squad leader 8." Li Yue looked a little unnatural.  After hesitating for a moment, he said.  Shang Yujun didn't immediately take his eyes away from his face, so he noticed that after saying the above sentence, Li Yue's face showed the same look that he had seen on the way up the mountain, as if he was angry about something.  , his eyes became firm and his lips pursed.

    "Okay, let's wait until dark before taking action. The specific plan is: divide the troops into two groups, follow this trench all the way east, enter the communication trench on the east, and launch an attack on the third trench. The other group will follow the trench.  Along the way, stop at the traffic trench in the west and attack upwards!" He glanced at the faces of the two squad leaders in turn and made a decisive decision, "what other opinions do you two have?!"

    "I request to lead Squad 8 as the first line." Gong Wenxuan said, his face slightly reddened by the excitement in his heart. "In order to ensure that at least one of the two attacking teams can rush into the Soviet trenches, I suggest a division of labor  ¡­What I mean is that we will give the Soviet army a "make a sound in the east and attack in the west". I led the 8th squad to attract the attention of the Soviet army from the east as much as possible. The platoon leader and the 9th squad leader led the 7th and 9th squads to sneak into the Soviet traffic trenches in the west.  Get up!"

    Being on the first route is undoubtedly the most dangerous, and Shang Yujun's heart became slightly excited.  But he is the top commander of this offensive team.  You can't compete with Gong Wenxuan for a job where he is likely to die first.  He accidentally glanced at Li Yue, who seemed to want to say something, but finally said nothing.

    "Okay, that's it. Everyone go back and get ready!" He didn't care whether Li Yue had the courage like Gong Wenxuan.  The battle preparation meeting before the entire platoon's attack is over.  The three of them ducked back into the chasm, Gong Wenxuan returned to Class 8, Li Yue returned to Class 9, and Shang Yujun returned to the soldiers of Class 7 led by him personally.

    "Brothers, prepare for battle before dark! Put new magazines on submachine guns and rifles, and open all grenade caps! If you want to eat dry food, hurry up and eat some dry food. Drink some water, and take action as soon as it gets dark!" He didn't!  I didn¡¯t say much, but I only picked out the most necessary words and said them out loud to the soldiers in Squad 7 and the entire platoon.

    He knew that the deeper meaning of his words was immediately understood by the soldiers.  No one said anything, no one showed excitement or other emotions, and no one ate dry food or drank a sip of water. Everyone just followed his instructions to change the magazines of their submachine guns and rifles, and put the caps on grenades.  He opened it, revealing the white ropes holding the fire rings.  Then, all the submachine guns and rifles that did not open the bayonet opened the bayonet with a "snap".

    The sunset was completely lost.  A few fiery red clouds.  It is still floating in the sky where the peaks of Xilian Mountain tower, and it has not dimmed for a long time.  They make this dusk last so long.  It's like the night will never come again.  Shang Yujun packed up his submachine gun and grenades, sat down with his back against the ditch, and inadvertently took another look at the world illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun.  He saw the sky, clouds, peaks, valleys, forests, and streams again, vaguely.  He also saw the city and the countryside; he felt that he should think of something last, such as the poetry that once came to his mind on the way up the mountain, but a simple hungry thought appeared on the surface of his consciousness, and he wanted to think of something.  The impulse disappeared.  He took out a package of compressed dry food from the bag he carried with him, mechanically peeled off the moisture-proof plastic paper, and gnawed it.  At this moment, his heart was extremely clean.  It's so spacious and so peaceful.

    Gong Wenxuan, the 8th squad leader, is a typical eldest brother type person.  At home, he is the eldest son; in the army, he became the squad leader in less than a year; he is from Cangzhou, Hebei.  This land, which is often reminded of the Peking Opera "Lin Chong's Night Run", has always believed that the ancient road is warm-hearted, bright and magnanimous, and hates evil as much as hatred, which is the true nature of a man. This has subtly integrated the chivalrous and martial spirit into his eldest brother's consciousness.  Gong Wen was selected to serve in the army with nothing to gain: his father worked as an excavator in the Kailuan Coal Mine. He only went to the third grade of junior high school and had a low level of education. He never thought about taking the military academy to become an officer.  ¡ª¡ªAll these make his eldest brother character quickly mature at the age of 21.  However, the leadership consciousness inherent in the eldest brother's character, sympathizing with the weak and fighting against injustice, is contrary to the order of military life in which obedience is the first priority. Therefore, after four years in the army, Gong Wenxuan's portfolio contained several  Drawing swords to help when there is an injustice on the road leads to a disciplinary decision.  During the expansion period before the war, the old company was cleared out and assigned to the newly formed 3rd Battalion and 9th Company.

    Gong Wenxuan was silent for a while in the new company.  On the one hand, he has to gradually become familiar with the surrounding environment; secondly, his self-esteem has been bruised by this transfer.  Like everyone else, he believed that there was something wrong with anyone who had been "supported" by his original unit before the war, and he felt deeply ashamed to be among these people.  But his extremely active personality did not allow him to remain silent for long.  He must assume a new role as protector, hating some people and sympathizing with and helping others.  Gong Wenxuan soon fell in love with the company commander andThe leader has a more complicated feeling towards the platoon leader - at first he felt instinctively uncomfortable with a 17-year-old being his leader, and often deliberately put on a veteran airs in front of Shang Yujun, but when he waited  He realized that the platoon leader was still like an ignorant child who was "bullied" by the company commander's trainer until he went to the battlefield. All he had left in his heart was sympathy and a strong sense of protection.

    So, on the last night before the war, after the whole battalion arrived at the mountain stream, he took the initiative to drag Li Yue, the leader of the 9th squad, to go to Shang Yujun in front of the cave, and made a brave and fearless confession, which seemed to show confidence and  The platoon leader, who was not very capable and looked like a little brother, gave him a "cheer up".  His confession was accepted by Shang Yujun. From this moment on, his sense of the role of leader and protector, which had been suppressed since joining the new company, was fully restored. His spirit and personality became enthusiastic, healthy, and energetic.  Yes.

    but.  After experiencing a sniper battle in the afternoon, especially after the last attack on the high ground began, Gong Wenxuan realized that his estimate of Shang Yujun was wrong. Although the platoon leader choked loudly after the sniper battle,  But whether it was the brave spirit shown in the battle or the words and deeds while commanding the entire platoon to carry out the final attack, he found that Shang Yujun was not as weak as he thought. On the contrary, he was a stronger and more capable person inside than on the outside.  Strength man.  Gong Wenxuan's latest conclusion is: without him by his side, the platoon leader can still lead the platoon well!

    His role in front of Shang Yujun changed unconsciously.  In the past, he thought of assisting or even commanding the platoon as a protector, but now he automatically reduced himself to the position of squad leader under the command of the platoon leader.  Since his passion for life and elder brother character cannot stop him from helping others.  He allowed himself to become an important planner beside the platoon leader without being obvious.  After the last attack began, he had made three suggestions to Shang Yujun: first, sneak up along the Yucrack ditch on the northwest side of the highland; second, he suggested that the attack should be carried out after dark; third, when Shang Yujun decided  After dark, the troops divided into two groups to attack the highlands. He also suggested changing the "two lines simultaneously" into "attacking the east and attacking the west", and took the initiative to lead the 8th squadron to "attack the east".  What made him deeply satisfied was that not only were the above three suggestions accepted by the platoon leader, the first two were immediately implemented, and the third was about to be implemented.  At this moment, his view of Shang Yujun has completely changed: he believes that he is smart and Shang Yujun can accept his suggestions.  Not only does it show that the platoon leader is also smart, but it also shows that he respects himself beyond ordinary people.  At this time, Gong Wenxuan's heart was no longer filled with just respect for Shang Yujun.  There is also a family relationship like flesh and blood.  Of course he understood the deeper meaning of what the platoon leader just said to the whole platoon. Gong Wenxuan thought excitedly at this moment: It was the war that brought two strangers like him and Shang Yujun together. Today  They are all very likely to be sacrificed in the last attack on the highlands, so they are no longer ordinary comrades, but brothers who share life and death.  Shang Yujun agreed to let him lead the 8th squad to carry out the mission of "Shengdong". What gave Gong Wenxuan another exciting emotion: the traffic trench on the east side of the north slope of the highland was directly under the heavy machine gun in the middle of the third trench.  , once they enter the communication trench and take the lead in the attack, it is very unrealistic to rush out from under the enemy's firepower - such a person has little hope of survival and has a heavy responsibility (otherwise it is not enough to cover the main force of the platoon from the west side)  If the platoon leader didn't entrust him with the task of suddenly leaping up the communication trench to the Soviet third trench, who else could he entrust it to?  !

    It¡¯s getting dark.

    It suddenly became dark.  The last few fiery red clouds floating high in the western sky have just dimmed.  The dark and chaotic shadows of the night rushed over the mountains and plains.

    As if hearing a silent command, Shang Yujun suddenly stood up from the ditch.

    Gong Wenxuan and Li Yue, squad leader 9, also stood up.

    Realizing that the moment for the final attack was approaching, the entire platoon of soldiers also stood upright.

    A dark figure came up from the foot of the mountain along the chasm out of breath.

    It¡¯s Wu Lan, the company correspondent.

    "3rd Platoon Commander, the company commander asked me to askask you why you haven't launched an attack yet!The company commander asked me to convey his exact words, 'If anyone cowers and flees from battle, he must enforce battlefield discipline!  '"

    The company commander saw that they had been in this chasm for a while.  Don't trust them anymore!  Shang Yujun thought.  A ball of anger surged up in his heart.

    "Go back and tell the company commander that we will launch an attack now!" He said to Urant in a forbearing and stiff tone, without concealing his disgust for the person giving orders down the mountain.  He wanted to explain the reason why the entire platoon was delayed in this chasm, but suddenly he thought of the attack that was about to begin.  I don't want to say anything anymore.

    No need!

    Gong Wenxuan led Class 8 into the second trench; he left Ulant behind and hurriedlyGo to the front of Class 8.

    Above the high ground, it was obvious that as night fell, the Soviet firepower became more intense again.

    The chaotic bullets left countless bright bullet trails, weaving into a firepower network that covered the entire northern and northeastern slopes of the highland.

    "Platoon leader, we're up!" Gong Wenxuan shouted lowly beside him, waved his hands behind him, arched his back, took the lead in jumping over the ridgeline, and walked quickly eastward along the trench.

    He was a little impatient.  Just after leaving the platoon leader, Gong Wenxuan had such an idea in his mind.  It was the company commander's words conveyed by Urant just now that made him suddenly impatient.  Cheng Yukun's words contained a suspicion of the platoon leader and their team that was immediately clear to everyone, including suspicion of him; at this moment, he had such a deep affection for the platoon leader, and the company commander had a deep affection for the platoon leader.  Shang Yujun's distrust made him more uncomfortable than his distrust.  What's more, the reason why the company commander sent Urant up the mountain was the suggestion he made to the platoon leader before dark. He proposed to postpone the attack until after dark. Therefore, he felt that he was the one who gave the platoon leader and the entire team  The platoon brought an unpleasantness.  He must take the 8th squad into action immediately, let Urant see with his own eyes, and then go back and tell the company commander whether any of the people still alive in their platoon - from the platoon leader to the soldiers - are cowards who fled the battle.
