Start from Changjin Lake

Chapter 157 Night Attack!Night attack!
Xiongda's peak and ridge line went straight up to the sky, and the night was mixed with the wind and snow and swirled suddenly. After Xu Qing spoke, the scene fell silent. Qianli and Meisheng thought about it and didn't have any opinion, so they talked and talked, and everyone immediately stepped on Shanling took advantage of the night to move quickly.

"This way!"

There is no snow on the nearby North Korean hilltops, and they are all black rocks and soil layers. The trees and dry vegetation have long been wiped out by the shock wave of the enemy plane.

Xu Qing led the first row and walked at the front. Ping He, Yu Congrong, and Song Weiguo were all first-class experts, lurking in the dark, penetrating deep, scouting and shooting, all capable of everything.

Everyone stepped on the mountain, carefully bypassing the U.S. reinforcements encamped at the foot of the mountain, and marched quickly from the steep place. They did not encounter any enemies along the way. After trekking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the high mountain on the west side of the Shuimen Bridge.

Brush, brush, brush!
As soon as they reached the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, they saw a series of snow-white searchlights shining on the opposite side, hitting the surrounding roads and snow ridges for investigation.

"Shh, get down, get down."

Xu Qing gesticulated backwards, and everyone also saw the dazzling white light shining straight over, they were startled, and they all quickly lay down and lowered their heads.

The beam of light went straight up and down, as if it went straight to the sky, shining white everywhere, nothing could be hidden, but fortunately, everyone hid relatively quickly, and turned around hastily before it hit the high mountain here.

"Let's go, get up quickly." Lei Gong got up and shouted.

Everyone quickly got up and continued to move forward, moved to the hidden place on the edge of the cliff, covered their whereabouts with the surrounding bushes and gravel, and then began to carefully look at the opposite side.

On the opposite side is the head of the Shuimen bridge, only a hundred or ten meters away.At this time, without binoculars, the naked eyes can face the guard posts on the bridge and on the mountain, barbed wire, sandbags, and the guards of the sentry boxes are very vigilant. Some of them are hidden in the snow, some are in the house, and some are behind the haystack. The steel gun equipment is almost armed to the teeth.

"Damn it, they really paid enough money, no wonder this bridge is so difficult to blow up." Yu Congrong slammed the ground hard, and said bitterly.

The faces of the people are also very serious.

It can be said that the military power contained in such a small bridge deck is faintly comparable to half of Xiajieyuli. Everyone looked at each other, and the momentum of trying to destroy the enemy just now faded slightly.

"Don't worry, the task is arduous. We have been mentally prepared for this early in the morning. How to solve the problem." Qianli said in a deep voice.

Xu Qing also looked solemn, but he proposed the plan, and he couldn't be cowardly. He looked at the situation on the other side and remembered it in his heart, then turned around and grabbed a stone, and quickly drew a schematic diagram on the ground.

"Everyone, come here, look this way!" He immediately summoned everyone.

Qilian quickly gathered together.

Taking advantage of the weak snow reflection, Xu Qing pointed to the ground and said, "Look, here - a gap was blown up in the north of the bridge, and the Americans have already repaired it, while the sentry boxes and houses in the south of the bridge have battle marks. The water room in the middle is unscathed."

"This shows that the troops who bombed the bridge two days ago still used the old method of slamming east and west." Qianli immediately understood, and continued.

"Yes! But it didn't work." Xu Qing nodded, then shook his head again: "The defenses on the middle, south, and north of the bridge are all very strong. It's hard to work just like this. We have to prepare with both hands."

Qianli looked at the picture he drew, thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "You want to call the headquarters?"

"That's right, capture the thief first and capture the king first."

"Since the team that bombed the bridge in front has failed, the enemy must be on guard. It's hard to say whether the headquarters is a trap or a big cake." Mei Sheng frowned.

Qianli immediately turned around: "What did the headquarters say?"

"I couldn't get in touch in the afternoon. I tried the radio station on the way here. It was too cold and couldn't be played at all." Yu Congrong shook his head helplessly.

"Let's not care about that, I'm afraid they are already in danger." Xu Qing shook his head.

He pinched a few lumps with black soil to represent houses and bunkers, and drew a row of long strips to represent the water pipes down the mountain.

"This, this, and here!" Wherever he poked his fingertips, everyone's eyes followed: "These three places are the most critical places."

"The front water room is probably exposed for us to see. It is unlikely to be the headquarters, but we must be careful."

"The bunker in the north of the bridge is heavily guarded and has strong firepower. They must be restrained, otherwise the bridge bombing operation cannot be carried out at all."

"To the south of the bridge, the four water pipes in Qianling below are connected to the water pump house. This is stated in the data. I suspect that the Americans transformed the house there into a headquarters."

He raised his head and looked around, looked at Mei Sheng and Qian Li and said, "Half of the explosive pack is mine. I will lead a team to sneak into the water pump room and carry out the decapitation operation! I hope you can take the second row and the third row down the mountain and feign attack on the north side of the bridge." By the way, prepare for the reinforcements to cross the bridge; the artillery platoon and cold gun squad block from the south of the bridge, attack the enemy's heavy firepower, and use multiple methods to buy time for us. As long as one of the three places is hit, the rest will attack with all their strength !"

"Once found out, you are the most dangerous inside." Qianli looked at him and frowned.

"We can hold on." Xu Qing smiled, and he turned around and asked, "Yu Congrong, do you have any questions?"

"No way! I am number one in the world!" Yu Congrong laughed.

Pinghe and Song Weiguo were not as arrogant as him, they glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's not a big problem."

Hurry up during the war, everyone is a veteran and has their own judgment, Qianli quickly asked a few more detailed questions, Xu Qing answered them one by one, and all the soldiers quickly cleared up their doubts.

"Okay, Qilian is handed over to you, and you are responsible for bringing them back intact." Qianli nodded, and he chose to trust Xu Qing.

"No problem, I promise to complete the task." Xu Qing saluted him.

Mei Sheng immediately shouted softly: "Both sides descend the mountain, execute the battle plan!"

The night wind was silent, and the Seventh Company, which was hiding behind the bush bunker, ran out one after another. They saluted in the cold night wind, grabbed their guns and hurried down along the dark ridgeline.

"Also, don't shoot without the signal!" Xu Qing added in a low voice.

Qianli, Mei Sheng, and Lei Gong all turned their heads and gave him a "reassuring" look.

In the blink of an eye, the Seventh Company soon disappeared without a trace in the night, leaving only around twenty or so lonely soldiers around Xu Qing.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's act quickly." Xu Qing collected himself and got up immediately.

Everyone hurriedly followed him, and there was a bottomless cliff and valley ahead. A chain bridge had been blown up by the Americans, and they had no choice but to climb down the cliff.

Song Weiguo stretched his head to look at it, and trembled.

The bottom is very steep, and there are sharp stones for nearly hundreds of meters. There is almost no place to stretch your feet. Going down, you can vaguely see several blockhouses built on the opposite mountain platform, facing each other across the cliff, and the distance is very close.

It was a bunker built by the Americans, and there was a suspected bunker nearby, with searchlights, snipers, heavy machine guns, sentry boxes, etc., and several places were covered with white cloth and vegetation.

Yu Congrong looked at him: "Scared?"

"No." Song Weiguo shook his head immediately.

Xu Qing heard it too, and looked back.

"It's okay, it's really okay, I can overcome it!" Song Weiguo quickly expressed his determination not to hold back.

"Okay." Xu Qing nodded, turned his head and told him softly: "Take care of him."

He tied one end of the U.S. military paratrooper rope around his waist and the other end to a rock on the mountain. After fixing it, he gave a thumbs up. Everyone nodded in response, and then began to descend the cliff.

The night had just fallen, and there was wind and snow blowing everywhere. Everyone carried dynamite packs and climbed up and down the rock wall. Fumble in the dark.

It was windy at the bottom of the cliff, and it was so cold that people's jaws trembled. They only descended less than ten meters, and they were shivering and shivering from the cold.

On the way down, suddenly, the searchlights on the sentry box and several blockhouses on the west side of the opposite side shifted direction, and began to shoot in all directions here.

"Hush." ​​Xu Qing gestured immediately.

Everyone immediately stuck to the rock wall, hid their bodies behind the stone, and stopped moving.

The searchlights were on for three to five seconds. They circled around to check, and then slowly turned away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk down.

The soldiers were very careful, but even though they were wearing gloves, their hands and feet were on the wind-blown cliff, but after a while they were frozen stiff, holding onto the rope as if they had been stuck to a piece of iron.

"careful!"

Sliding to the bottom, Song Weiguo was fine except his face was a little pale, but there were two other soldiers who were panting and couldn't keep up physically. Fall from the mountain.

There were sharp stones at the bottom, Xu Qing's pupils shrank, she quickly let go of the rope and jumped over, stretched out her hand and pulled the two of them away from the surface of the stones, and rolled down the slopes on both sides.

In a hurry, a few people rolled directly from the pier to Qianling. In front of them was a huge water pipe. There were stones and jagged rocks along the road. Even with thick snow, the three of them still fell black and swollen. The enemy whistle was right beside them. , They all gritted their teeth and no one said a word.

"There is movement?"

The searchlight on the top of the hill seemed to hear a sound, and quickly turned this way. Xu Qing stretched out his hand and pushed the two under the pipe, but he had no time to dodge.

"Damn it." His expression changed.

In desperation, he saw a soldier who had died a long time ago not far away, and his body was lying in the snow.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm offended." He grabbed the frozen corpse of a soldier, turned over and hid underneath, buried his head in the snow and held his breath, pretending to be a dead body, and immediately remained motionless.

Brush brush.

Several lights on the mountain gathered quickly, and all of them shone toward this side, going straight, scanning the snow like sharp swords, and the snow-bright xenon lamps illuminated the surrounding ground pale white, revealing nothing at all.

He was only a few tens of meters away from the bridge deck, and while he was lying down, he could hear some Americans chattering in English after the sandbag construction on the bridge:

"Jem, did you hear anything?"

"It can't be Chinese..."

"You go and see."

"You can go, I don't want to die."

After all, these people said that the movements of their hands were not slow. Xu Qing vaguely heard the movement of guns being raised for vigilance, and he even felt the feeling of the hairs on his back standing on end.He understood... that was a large number of guns aimed at him.

Plop, plop, plop...

A heart in Xu Qing's chest beat instantly, subconsciously tensed his whole body, his eyes looked around, the position where he was lying here was not very good, not conducive to fighting.

But he has silently grabbed the gun and the grenade in his hands, ready to be discovered, and once he fires, he will never sit still.

meow~

Suddenly, in front of the huge horizontal and vertical pipes, an unknown wild animal jumped from a small tree, paced to the side and gnawed on the flesh and blood of the corpse. When the light came on, it raised its head in fright. It was the size of a civet cat, with gloomy pupils. The eyes glowed a miserable green under the light.

"Oh, so it's an Asian raccoon or a mink."

"You said, let's sneak some wild game, shall we?"

"Jem, can't you see, they eat dead human flesh." A soldier shone the searchlight again, and clearly saw the gnawed and battered appearance of the corpse.

Others see and cover their eyes:
"Oh, hell!"

"You guys are disgusting."

"Okay, go back to your respective positions." Everyone was chattering, and a non-commissioned officer came over with a straight face and said, "Be careful, but the captain said that the Chinese have not given up attacking here."

"Got it. Damn the weather, these beasts are still alive."

The light swept across the water pipes under the bridge and the open snow field. The sentry on the mountain found nothing unusual and did not stop. They stopped shining here and continued their routine inspections to other places.

Xu Qing's eyelids felt the disappearance of the gun's muzzle alignment, and slowly heaved a sigh of relief. After observing for two seconds, there was nothing abnormal. He quickly moved the corpse away and sneaked out from below.

"It hurts."

He bared his teeth, because of his physical fitness, he fell so high to protect the two of them, and his whole body ached from the fall. He simply rubbed the stuffy place in his chest, not daring to delay any longer.

"Beast, go." He threw a stone and drove the wild raccoon away.

The body of the soldier who had just saved his life was right in front of his eyes. His limbs were frozen straight, his face was bloodless, his upper body was battered to pieces, and he had been bitten by wild animals. From the remaining padded military uniform, it could be seen that it was a volunteer army. It should be Soldiers of the [-]th Army who died when the bridge was bombed two days ago.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'll bury you when you come back from the bombing of the bridge." In order to prevent the U.S. military on the mountain from discovering something unusual, he didn't move without authorization. He saluted the corpse, and then rolled and hid behind the pipe.

"Wanli, how are you doing!" As soon as he came over, Song Weiguo and others saw him in a mess and hurried forward to support him.

Just now when Xu Qing and the others jumped off the cliff, the soldiers were all shocked, they climbed down quickly and hid under the pipe, they picked up their guns and were ready to support at any time, they were relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Yu Congrong turned his head and glared: "You two did a good job!"

The two soldiers who just stepped on the air and fell were Zhong Dingyi and Wang Xiaosi from the fire platoon. They were fine, but they also saw the thrilling moment just now.The two were particularly guilty, and Wang Xiaosi directly raised his mouth and said, "Company commander! I'll criticize! I just froze and dazed..."

"Don't. It's nothing, just a little blood." Xu Qing quickly stopped, he sat down on the ground and took a breath, and after a little relief, he waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about me, divide into two groups, and quickly check the surrounding situation."

"Okay." Ping He held the gun, bent over and waved back: "Squad [-], come with me."

He led a squad of scouts down from the right side of the mountain, followed the ditch on the side of the mountain and entered under the bridge next door, and then moved in carefully against the ground of the pipeline.

"Which one do you think is the headquarters?" After they passed by, Xu Qing let out a few breaths, turned around, and looked at the seven or eight bunker houses on the side of the mountain near the bridge.

At this time, it was a mistake. Originally, the bottom of the cliff was still some distance away from the bridge deck, but they slipped directly into Qianling from the side slope under the bridge pier. The water pipes are connected to the reservoir bridges, each of which is several meters wide, spanning the bottom of the steep cliffs on both sides.

"It's definitely not in the middle, I guess the third one from the right, and the one with the radio command vehicle next to it." Yu Congrong replied confidently.

The room was brightly lit, and there were many guards next to it. It was close to the bunker, making it look like an important place at a glance.

"No, it's the opposite." Xu Qing pulled him, pointing to the faint light from the window of the house, "The reflection on the ground shakes a lot, it's not a candle or an electric light, it's for creating a trap point torch."

"Then where is the real headquarters?" Yu Congrong asked.

Xu Qing thought for a while, pointed to one of the houses and said, "It's not clear yet, but I guess it's probably that one."

"That?"

Yu Congrong looked over. It was a room next to a blockhouse on the north side of the bridge. The lights were the darkest and the guards were the fewest on the bright side. It was also very close to them and looked inconspicuous.

"That's right." Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "If I were the commander and knew that someone was coming to blow up the bridge, I would definitely set a trap and create a false impression. And my hiding place must be the most dangerous and safest place." place."
