When Brigade Commander Liu said this, Li Yong was of course happy, and stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your concern." Brigade Commander Liu waved his hand and said, "Be brave, don't stand up and salute, you rest first, I'm also busy with my business, and I'll inform you if there is a situation." After finishing speaking, Brigade Commander Liu went into the bunker again to direct the battle.

Li Yong and the soldiers stayed near the command post of the Ninth Brigade until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the soldiers were idle, bragging about the mountains together, and joking with the guards of the Ninth Brigade Headquarters from time to time.

The various attacking units of our army have taken a lot of hills, the command posts at all levels are constantly moving forward, and the artillery fire covering the infantry attack is also constantly firing at the enemy's deep extension.

The cadres at the brigade level are already the senior commanders of our army, but the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Brigade is not too far from the front line, and the sound of gunfire, explosions, and the shouts of the soldiers can be faintly heard.

Only one regiment of the Ninth Brigade became entangled with the enemy under a hill, and our soldiers attacked it, and the enemy counterattacked it, and the attack was counterattacked again, and it was counterattacked back and forth a dozen times, and the hill had not been taken for more than an hour.

Brigade Commander Liu nervously observed the situation on the front line with a telescope, and with his other hand buckled into the earthen wall of the trench, his jaw trembled, and he said, "What's going on on that mountain?" Why is the enemy so desperate? Our fighters have rushed at least a dozen times. ”

He looked at his watch again and said, "Mr. Peng ordered us to settle the battle before dusk, when is this?" Brigade Commander Liu had a chief beside him who used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, and when he saw that the brigade commander was a little anxious, he said: "Old Liu, don't worry, ask for the phone number of their regiment to see if there is any special situation." ”

When the phone was about to be connected, Brigade Commander Liu shouted into the phone: "What's going on there? Why can't it be attacked? What the? You have knocked on the idea that the enemy's 36th Division command post and the 165th Brigade command post are on this hill? ”

Brigade Commander Liu, who put down the phone, said to a cadre beside him: "Political commissar, they have knocked on the enemy's lifeline, no wonder they are so desperate, the command posts of the enemy's 36th Division and the 165th Brigade are all on this mountain, as long as we take down this mountain, the victory will basically be in hand."

However, their regiment suffered heavy casualties, and they asked us to give us some more reinforcements, our reserves have already been put into battle, and the reconnaissance and guard personnel of the brigade headquarters have also gone up, and now there are no troops to send, what do you think? ”

Political commissar: "Lao Liu, you are confused when you are in a hurry, have you forgotten, isn't there still a unit outside, I went out to take a look, these guys are lying down and sleeping, and it is the right time for them to go on at this time." ”

Brigade Commander Liu patted his thigh and said, "Oh, political commissar, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot, let's go, let's go to them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Brigade Commander Liu said a little hesitantly: "Political commissar, they are brother troops, and they are looking for us to help. ”

Political commissar: "What's so embarrassing, if you catch up, you will do it, the brother troops are also the troops of our People's Liberation Army, don't be so detailed at a critical time." Brigade Commander Liu nodded: "Yes, blame me for being hypocritical, go to them." ”

Brigade Commander Liu, who came out of the bunker, asked the guards to call Li Yong over, Li Yong was uncomfortable with the soldiers, and when he saw Brigade Commander Liu shouting, he hurriedly ran over: "How about the brigade commander?" Any news? ”

Brigade Commander Liu: "Dayong, there is news, but there are also problems, there is a regiment attacking the hill is the headquarters of the enemy's 36th Division and the 165th Brigade, our regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and asked me to send reinforcements, but I have no troops to send." ”

Li Yong: "I understand the chief, let's go over immediately, reinforce the attacking troops, and take the enemy's position." Brigade Commander Liu: "Dayong, I was originally going to help you, but I didn't expect you to help me again." ”

Li Yong: "Chief, it's nothing, I'm a ** member, this is what we should do, please give an order to the chief." ”

Brigade Commander Liu looked at Li Yong and the soldiers standing neatly behind him: "Comrades, in front is the headquarters of the enemy's reorganized 36th Division, this 36th Division, which has brought us great trouble, is right under our noses, the enemy is desperately counterattacking, and our attacking troops have suffered heavy casualties, now I order your troops to reinforce our army's attack troops, be sure to take the hill guarded by the enemy before dusk, and end the battle, otherwise military law will be engaged, understand?" ”

Li Yong replied loudly: "To reinforce our army's attack troops, you must end the battle before dusk, otherwise military law will be engaged and understood." ”

Li Yong knew very well that there had been no jokes in the army since ancient times, and that our army had iron-like discipline since the day it was founded, and as long as it accepted the order, it would be resolutely completed, and there were no conditions to talk about.

"Comrades, are you confident in completing the task?" Li Yong turned around and asked loudly at his soldiers, and more than 200 people shouted together, "Yes." ”

Li Jiangguo, the platoon commander, took a step forward with the submachine gun on his chest: "Battalion commander {Li Jiangguo is not used to calling regiment commander} Our battalion has not completed the task since the day it was founded, so you can give an order." ”

Li Yong knows that this is the morale of the troops, what is the war? What you fight is morale, you are a human being, people are also human beings, you want to kill the enemy, and the enemy wants to kill you too, so to fight a war is to overwhelm the enemy in morale.

Under the leadership of the personnel sent by the Ninth Brigade, Li Yong and the soldiers quickly ran forward. Brigade Commander Liu looked at the soldiers who were going away and said to himself: "They are all good soldiers, they are all good soldiers!" ”

The political commissar next to him said: "What's the matter, Lao Liu? What's going on again? They are now an independent regiment directly under the Second Column, and it's too late for you to think about anything. ”

Brigade Commander Liu: "Political commissar, this Li Yong is not ordinary, it has only been half a year to develop the army into a regiment, I have a hunch that this little Li Yong's troops will be expanded, and our brigade's temple will not be able to raise this great Bodhisattva." ”

Li Yong led the troops to follow behind the personnel of the Ninth Brigade, and it did not take long to come to the regimental command post at the front.

The regiment commander of the Ninth Brigade held Li Yong's hand: "Welcome, Commander Li, thank you so much, you are here now to send charcoal in the snow." After speaking, I also felt very strange, how could the second column have such a young leader? Although the commanders during the war years were generally younger, this was too young, but it was strange that the battle still had to be fought.

Li Yong let go of the regiment commander's hand and said, "Now that we are fighting, I don't have time to be polite, I'll go to the front and take a look." "The command post of this regiment of our army was very close to the enemy's position, and it was already within the range of the rifle, and Li Yong lay in the trench and carefully observed it with a telescope.

I saw that the enemy's firepower on the top of the hill was blocking the attacking soldiers of our army head-on, and several heavy machine gun positions were set up very well, and the attacking troops of our army at the bottom of the mountain were crossfired, and the attacking troops of our army were using various terrain features to attack the upper part of the attack little by little under the cover of limited firepower, and the progress was very slow.

Seeing this, Li Yong called the platoon commander Li Jiangguo and the reconnaissance platoon commander Zhang Jinsong over: "Bring all the machine gunners in your platoon here, and prepare to suppress the enemy on the top, and the other fighters will be on standby." ”

After speaking, Li Yong ran to the position of the artillery squad and said to the squad leader: "As soon as our machine guns are fired, we will carry out a fixed-point elimination of the enemy's fire points outcropping on the top of the mountain." ”

Li Jiangguo's platoon had four squads, each squad had four light machine guns, a total of 16 light machine guns fired at the same time, the three bursts of the Czech light machine guns were crisp and pleasant, and the effect of the 16 light machine guns came out as soon as they sounded, and the enemy's firepower on the mountain weakened at once.

At this time, the enemy's heavy machine guns also reacted, turning the muzzle of the guns to find our machine-gun position, Li Yong thought to himself that this would not work, and when the enemy's heavy machine gun shooters understood that our army would have casualties, the three small guns of the command artillery squad fired rapidly at the enemy's heavy machine-gun positions.

Seeing that the enemy's heavy machine gun position flew into the sky with guns in the explosion, this mortar is curved firepower, and your cat can't hide in the trenches, Li Yong muttered in his mouth that it was a pity for such a good heavy machine gun, while directing the artillery squad to continue shooting, as long as the enemy's firepower shows up, it will be hit.

The artillery squad destroyed more than a dozen firing points in a row, and completely suppressed the enemy's firepower with the cooperation of 16 light machine guns.
