It was too dark in the chasm to see the road ahead clearly. Since this is the last attack, why can't we take it easy? For example, let everyone take a break first? The instructor told us to attack, but he didn't say we couldn't sleep for a while We were thirsty. Everyone should be given something to eat. The chief of staff didn't let the whole company eat in the mountain stream this morning Maybe someone still has dry food in their satchel and water in the kettle? His only desire was to sleep.
"Brothers, let's sleep for a while." He turned around and said to the soldiers who stopped with him. He heard his own voice calm.
No one responded to his words, but sat down one after another. Shang Yujun first groped around and found the ditch cliff, then half-sited and half-reclined on the ground, with the back of his head resting on an exposed, hard tree root as thick as a thumb. He felt uncomfortable, but he didn't want to move away anymore.
He closed his eyes
He actually fell asleep, as calmly as he had on the journey back to his homeland, and it didn't take much time. There was always something on the back of his head that prevented him from falling asleep, but he insisted on falling asleep and fell into a deep sleep. This exciting stimulation helped him realize his wish. He fell asleep, but some of his brain cells were still awake. They were protecting his sleep and resisting the annoying source of excitement in the back of his head from interfering with his sleeping soul and body.
After lying down, he could still see the pure dark blue night sky on the ridgeline in the distance and the mountain wind was still blowing. Lying down in the cool mountain breeze, you can immediately hear the heavy breathing of the earth in the darkness of night, the lingering whisper of the vegetation in the wind, and the neighing of ground insects far and near. The sound of the forest waves rising and falling like the tide also came from the canyon, quietly making people dream. Then he heard the trickle of the mountain spring. Ding ding dong dong. They remind people of the Yellow River, Yangtze River and sea cities.
Hometown. Mother.
There are just no stars.
A night sky without stars is an imperfect night sky. A night without brilliant stars is a regrettable night.
He understood what was going on with the chasm underneath him. They lead upwards through the second and third trenches to the main peak of the highland, and downwards through the thrust at the foot of the northwest side of the highland to the big leg of Big Nose Peak. It is the only channel for the Soviet troops in Highland 634 to maintain contact with the Soviet troops in Mount Xillian. The Soviet commander did a very good job. He turned Hill 634 into a cemetery for his soldiers, leaving only one access road easily controlled by attackers. The Soviet troops on the mountain had no choice but to hold on to the end.
What happened to the little prisoner we saw in the mountain stream this morning? He did not want to be a soldier but became a soldier and a prisoner. Why didn't the company commander come up the mountain to order us to continue the attack? It was the instructor who was sacrificed, and the company commander was probably also sacrificed. Lu Liwei died, Gong Wenxuan, and Li Yue also died. Qu Baoxiang also died. Many people also sacrificed their lives: 1 platoon leader, 2 platoon leader, deputy company commander, cook squad leader, and 3 platoon leader
Shang Yujun, Zhang Zhongming, Zhang Zhongliang, Wu Lan, Zhang Wei and cook Yu Changgui No, we haven't sacrificed yet, we will soon.
A whole company.
The Soviet army is also a company, or two companies. For a highland numbered 634 on our map, the Soviet army invested even more troops. They also sent reinforcements from Mount Xilien. There was something on the back of his head that kept hurting him. To wake him up, he has to change his posture
Mountain breeze.
The cool mountain breeze is still blowing, blowing away the dim and chaotic night air. He couldn't see a ridgeline in the distance.
He doesn¡¯t need memories or sorrow, he just wants to fall asleep.
There should be an explanation. Whether it is the cry of the little prisoner or the sadness in his dream, it is powerless and unreal. One's sorrow is unreal and powerless. Hidden behind the great sacrifice and sorrow of all people is the persistent passion and desire of the two peoples for the land and survival itself. All nations curse war but have to go to war. People have sung the praises of those war heroes from generation to generation, showing that every nation's survival on this planet is difficult and heroic.
The moon is bright during the Qin period and close during the Han period. The long march of thousands of miles has not yet returned You are not yourself, you are a member of the huge array of Chinese soldiers throughout the ages. In the songs of this great nation, you will always have a majestic figure. Your death is your life, your moment is your eternity! You must cherish the name soldier!
are you awake?
¡¡
Shang Yujun woke up. What startled him was not the constant tingling feeling in the back of his head, but several shouts from the main peak. What he heard in his dream was not real, but when he woke up, the world fell into silence again. Above the entire 634 Highlands, an indifferent moonlight has floated. Shang Yujun suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
The hands on my wrist won¡¯t move. They stubbornly stopped near 24:00 midnight on March 16, 1945.
"Brothers, get up quickly! Let's go¡ª¡ª!"??He suddenly jumped up and shouted to the other five people in the ditch.
Soon everyone stood up, after all, not everyone was asleep.
¡°Forward!¡± he shouted to his small team.
They reached the end of the chasm. From there, turn eastward into the second trench. Then turn upward from the second trench into the communication trench leading to the third trench.
A rustling sound came from the third trench, and disappeared again when I listened carefully; suddenly it sounded again, turning into the sound of chaotic and rapid footsteps. Shang Yujun raised his head and noticed a few people walking down the trench like shadows, passing them by. He entered the second trench in a flash and disappeared into the rain crack on the northwest side of the highland they had just passed. In the ditch. Shang Yujun was stunned. He suspected that these were soldiers who were stranded on the high ground after the entire platoon attacked after dark. Now they were emboldened by the silence at the bottom of the mountain and plucked up the courage to sneak down the mountain. He originally wanted to call them to attack together, but suddenly gave up the idea!
? 6 of them are enough for this attack!
Let them live. If they survive, they can launch a new attack on the main peak.
6 people continued to walk forward.
The third trench was entered along the communication trench. Then go south along the third trench. On the platform below the main peak, I found a Yucrack ditch half hidden in the grass, which allowed me to climb all the way to the main peak.
When entering the third trench, the Soviet troops on the main peak did not fire. When they stepped onto this chasm, the Soviet army remained silent.
Shang Yujun paused for a moment. Look back at your comrades behind you. The soldiers also raised their heads to look at him.
No one said anything.
There is no need to say anything else.
The final moment has arrived.
He turned around, pointed the muzzle of his submachine gun in the direction of the peak, and began to climb up.
The five people behind him also followed his example, holding the submachine guns on their chests, and climbed up after him.
Shoot. In the face of such an attack, the Soviet army's nerves would be a little stimulated.
There were no gunshots. They kept going up.
There were no gunshots on the top of the mountain.
They reached the top of the mountain.
No one expected to reach the top. Once on the summit, no one immediately understood what had happened.
There are no Soviet troops on the main peak. To be precise, there are no more Soviet troops alive. The top of the peak is as big as two houses, very flat, and the moonlight is pure. What everyone saw in turn was a circular trench and an abandoned heavy machine gun with its muzzle facing the north. Some submachine guns and ammunition scattered up and down the trench.
Finally, there was the body huddled at the bottom of the trench on the east side, with its back turned to the sky. A dagger with only the short handle exposed was inserted in the area around the back of the heart. The shoulders that were half hunched upwards in pain revealed the deceased's military rank symbol in the moonlight. Shang Yujun saw clearly that the deceased was a captain.
He stood there in a daze for a minute. I thought of the shouts heard from the main peak in the northwest side chasm of the highland. He thought of the few people who passed him in the traffic trench under the third trench and slipped down the mountain like shadows. Vaguely, he guessed what happened here not long ago.
When there was only a team of 6 people left on the attacker side under the main peak, the nerves of the few Soviet troops on the main peak finally collapsed. For the whole day, they also survived the disaster, and were more afraid of the coming of the second dawn than the attackers.
The deceased, a captain, prevented them from taking advantage of the remaining opportunity to escape at night. The soldiers killed him and secured their freedom to escape the highlands.
But there¡¯s no way to prove that it wasn¡¯t an incredible dream.
The soldiers sat down on the top of the mountain one after another. He also sat down.
Victory.
This victory was beyond his expectation. But if you think about it carefully, it is the party that should win the most that wins. Their nerves were tougher than those of the Soviet army, but he was not pleased. I just feel tired and don't even dare to feel sad, for the sake of those who died.
The main peak is still in Soviet hands. He and Urant were still lying in the chasm on the northwest side of the highland, still dreaming.
The things he must put an end to tonight are still not over yet. The six of them had not yet started their attack on the main peak of Highland 634, or he was already dead. He died but lived on in some form of soul. His soul walked out of his body and floated to the main peak. It stubbornly refused to leave Hill 634. A proof is needed. Whether dreaming or waking, alive or dead, a proof is needed.
The night is stretching. The moonlight shone brightly for a long time, and finally dimmed. Shang Yujun sat stiffly, not daring to slack off.
First, the darkness before dawn filled the world. Then it gradually faded away, and a star appeared on the eastern horizon.The picture is blurry gray. It is not powerful, but it separates the sky and the earth, showing the clouds in the sky, and also showing thousands of peaks and waves rolling in the mountains, submerging all the valleys, and only highlighting the peaks and ridges like bamboo shoots. Then, the small patch of gray became larger. It gets brighter, and the morning light spreads towards the world
A wisp of orange-red rays of light cast flatly onto the main peak of 634 Highland The two groups that had just walked from the gully in the northwest of the highland and the few people who had stayed at the foot of the northeastern side of the highland gathered together and quickly walked towards the main peak. Let's go Shang Yujun recognized them as the 3rd regiment commander Peng Tao, deputy commander Liu Zongsheng, battalion commander Xiao Qiang, company commander Cheng Yukun and training officer Liang Tenghui. Behind them were some people he didn't recognize
He stood up facing them
All 6 people on the main peak stood up. The morning breeze draped the rag strips on their bodies - Peng Tao was the first to reach the top, followed by Liu Zongsheng who had a bandage around his neck.
"Thank you! I thank you! No, the motherland thanks you!" Peng Tao could not suppress his excitement and tears, and walked over to hug the six people on the summit one by one. On the way from Ridge No. 1 to Highland 634, he thought of everything. What I didn't expect was that the last six-man team of the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company of the 5th Regiment had occupied the main peak of the highland last night!
"Yes, I'm waiting for that proof. We really climbed the main peak of Highland 634 alive. We won" I just woke up here. Shang Yujun, who had been dumbly accepting Peng Tao's enthusiasm, suddenly turned pale and his lips trembled. He sat on the ground and started to cry.
A week later, the Chinese army¡¯s defensive position on the front line of Mount Kibif finally stabilized.
At this time, a team was meandering down the large hillside that was illuminated by the sun in the north of Highland 342.
This is a small team, a team that is hungry and tired, with broken uniforms and haggard appearance. They walk staggeringly, and several of the wounded are still being supported by others. From a distance, their gait resembles a strange dance. But they were a relaxed and joyful team. When they walked down the mountain ridge of No. 1 Ridge, I didn't know who took the lead in roaring, and the others followed suit and sang unevenly. As a result, the laughter and vitality of youth echoed for a long time on this large hillside that was still lush despite being plundered by artillery fire. Peng Tao is walking in the middle of this team. Compared with half a month ago, his changes are significant and profound. So much so that it was difficult for former acquaintances to recognize him at a glance. He lost weight; his originally smooth and delicate face turned into one with rough and hard skin, and his face was unshaven. There was a scrape the size of a copper coin lying above the left temple, which was extremely eye-catching. He no longer has a jacket-style camouflage top, general's breeches, a beautiful belt full of bullets, and a small pistol in a suede holster. Instead, he has a set of ordinary military uniforms that are wrinkled by war and smell of sweat and alkali. , plus a submachine gun for soldiers. After traveling over mountains and ridges for a long time, he was sweating profusely like everyone in the team, and his soaked military uniform shone brightly in the sun. He was obviously exhausted, gasping for air with every step he took.
However. The truly astonishing change was mental: the proud, indifferent, and arrogant expression of the proud man in the past disappeared. A new, inner brilliance of contemplation, overpowering other expressions, quietly emerged from his face. and appear in the eyes
Since joining forces with Liu Zongsheng, Cheng Yukun, and Shang Yujun on Highland 634 at dawn that day, Peng Tao¡¯s experience in the past week has been as follows: At dawn that day, he stood on the main peak of Highland 634 and reported to the division command post that the 5th Regiment 3 News that the 9th Battalion Company captured the high ground last night. Then he asked the division commander for reinforcements from a battalion to organize the defense in the 164 Highland area instead of the 1st Battalion, and asked deputy commander Zhang Yongquan to lead the 1st Battalion to the 632 Highland area to replace the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment, which suffered too many casualties. When this defense change is completed. He had returned to the command post of the 3rd Regiment in Xueling and heard from He Chaozong Commander Hu Lian's high evaluation of the 3rd Regiment's role in yesterday's battle. On the same night, the division commander came to the 3rd Regiment command post in person and conveyed to him the decision of the army headquarters that he and Zhu Yongde were not allowed to go to the front line again! At this moment, Peng Tao understood many things: in yesterday's battle to recapture Mount Kibif, due to the bloody battle of Liu Zongsheng and the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment in the 632 Highland area, he and the 3rd Regiment were no longer the supporting roles of the 4th Regiment but became the protagonists. ; Liu Zongsheng and the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment finally captured Highland 634, which not only helped him complete all combat missions in the No. 1 Ridge area, but also made him the number one hero and star in the Kibif Mountain War!
It was at this time that Peng Tao's inner difficult period began. Before the war, he longed to use this war to make himself a dazzling new star within the army. Now this goal has been achieved. Once the post-war period comes, honors, rewards, and promotions will follow, and he will gain once in his life. Great progress. However, since his experience last night, not only was he no longer enthusiastic and happy about all the above, but on the contrary, he suddenly felt pain for what he had obtained and was about to obtain.It¡¯s over.
The real problem was what happened last night when he led his team across Ridge No. 1 and came under Highland 634: After experiencing minefields, shelling and the death of Liu Erzhu on the northern slopes of Highland 631, he had already accepted a The most precious thing for a person is the concept of life. If he admits that he has failed in not knowing how to cherish the lives of others, he also believes that it is impossible for the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment to regain Highland 634 tonight. But when they arrived at Hill 634, they encountered something that surprised him even more: Liu Zongsheng, who had been injured last night, did not stop attacking Hill 634. It was he who risked his life to open up the minefield in the gully on the west side of Hill 633. A passage allows Peng Tao to walk all the way to Highland 634. Then he saw Shang Yujun and other six people on the main peak of the highland. Peng Tao was so excited that he thought he had seen a miracle with his own eyes. It wasn't until he came to Highland 634 in person that he understood what a brutal battle had taken place here yesterday: Up and down such a small mountain with a small altitude, the bodies of more than 300 soldiers and officers from both sides were strewn with each other. , plus the Soviet corpses on the legs of Big Nose Peak and the reinforcements from both sides who died in the pine forest at the bottom of the valley on the east side of the highland, he estimated that the total number of dead would not be less than a complete infantry battalion! But what really made him feel incredible was what happened on the main peak of the highland! The main peak is surrounded by cliffs, and a Soviet heavy machine gun is mounted on it. There is only a crack leading up to it. Under such a situation, how did Shang Yujun and the others attack it last night? Later, he sent people to the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Regiment, which had withdrawn from the battlefield, to find out more about it, and heard various conflicting statements. One of the theories is that Shang Yujun and others were able to attack the main peak because there were no Soviet troops on the main peak of the highland. The remaining Soviet troops killed their commanders and fled before they could go up.
ps: In the face of disaster, the living people are a kind of community. No contract, no definition.
