The Red Era: Living in Seclusion in a Siheyuan as a Boss

Chapter 546: Inheritance!!!

Liu Wu applied to join the "Black Panther Commando", and this was quickly approved by his superiors.

After all, the Black Panthers urgently need a young commander with combat experience like him.

However, even so, Liu Wu was able to officially become a member of the "Black Panther Commando" only after passing rigorous assessments.

The "Black Panther Commando" is the team that shoulders the most dangerous and critical combat missions. Liu Zhiye, who was in Yanjing, was silent for a moment after learning about his son's choice.

Liu Wu received an order from his superiors and was about to go to the front line to fight.

Although it was not his first time to go to the front line, this time it was a special assault operation and he might not be able to come back if he was not careful.

Liu Wu held back his tears and choked up as he said to his father Liu Zhiye on the phone: "Dad, maybe I can't fulfill my filial duty."

Liu Zhiye naturally knew that his son was going to the battlefield. Surprisingly, he did not comfort his son after hearing his farewell words.

Instead, he frowned and angrily cursed: "What's the big deal about this little war of yours? How can it be compared to the wars we fought in the past? How can a captain like you have such emotions?"

At this moment, there is no picture of a loving father and a filial son, but only a picture of a father scolding his son.

Liu Wu remained silent after hearing this. If someone else said this, he would definitely not believe it.

But my father’s words are different.

You know, Liu Zhiye went to the battlefield at the age of 16, and no one understood the cruelty of war better than him.

Soon, Liu Wu came to his senses and realized that his father was teaching him how to lead troops in battle in a special way.

As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. As the son of an old soldier, Liu Wu is no less worthy than Liu Zhiye.

In the army, Liu Wu achieved some results through his own efforts and his father's tireless teaching.

Liu Zhiye spoke without reservation in front of Liu Wu, and imparted to him all his valuable experience from many years of marching, no matter how big or small.

The "Black Panther Commando" is a very famous heroic team. Since Liu Wu was selected, he did not rely on anyone but only on his own passion and hard-working qualities, and he quickly became the acting squadron leader step by step.

Liu Zhiye was also quite satisfied with his son's performance.

Just let the battlefield die for the country, why not return the horse leather shroud.

Liu Wu was about to leave for the battle. He knew the cruelty of war and that today's farewell might be a farewell forever. So he said goodbye to his father in tears. Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Liu Zhiye...

Liu Zhiye, who had participated in countless battles and experienced countless separations and deaths, knew that if a commander was fussy, it would have a negative impact on the battle.

So, when his son said that he was not filial enough, he became furious. What was this little fight a big deal?

In fact, he was also using a special way to teach his son how to lead troops in battle.

The older generation is the older generation.

In December last year, a new round of fighting began. A large number of soldiers rushed to the border of Yunnan, gathered at the border of Yunnan, and rushed to the front line of L Mountain.

L Mountain is located west of Chuantou Village, Yunnan Province, on the border line five kilometers southwest of the border port Chuantou. It is a strategic location and has become a battleground for the Xia army and the enemy.

Because the enemy was familiar with the border terrain and was good at hiding, the Xia army suffered a lot and lost many soldiers.

If we occupy L Mountain, we can overlook the enemy's 25-kilometer area to the south, and any enemy hiding in the jungle will have nowhere to hide.

However, if the enemy occupied this high ground, not only would they be able to see a vast area with a depth of 25 kilometers, but they would also be able to control our main transportation routes, posing a great threat to our march and strategic arrangements.

The Battle of L Mountain lasted for seven years on and off, which is enough to show the importance both sides attached to this important location.

When they first arrive at the front line, they certainly cannot engage in combat immediately. The soldiers need to adapt to and become familiar with the surrounding terrain and environment.

Only after Liu Wu's "Second Squadron" completed the handover with the "Black Panther First Squadron" could the Second Squadron officially go to the battlefield.

The climate of the rain forest is completely different from that of the northern plains. There are not only poisonous insects and weeds under the dense forest,

There may also be insidious and cunning enemy suicide squads hiding, so you must be extra careful.

After several days of running-in training, the "Black Panther Second Squadron" officially entered the battle and headed to the designated defense line area.

The moment he entered the battle zone, Liu Wu could clearly feel the atmosphere suddenly become tense.

Many members of the Second Squadron had just joined the battlefield. They all kept their spirits tense and were alert to their surroundings at all times, as the real battle was about to begin.

This area is a basin, which is a dense zone of firepower conflict between the enemy and us, and hand-to-hand combat may occur at any time and anywhere.

When fighting in a rainforest, the enemy is often not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the harsh environment of the rainforest, poisonous insects in the swamp, lush shrubs that are half a person's height, and scarce food sources.

Assault operations are often the most painful, requiring one to be alert to the enemy at all times and not make any sound.

Any disturbance could be the last straw that breaks the soldiers' tense nerves.

Although it was not Liu Wu's first time to go to the battlefield, he knew how terrible it was.
As a leader, he not only formulates strategies, but also often comforts his soldiers and takes care of their emotions.

Liu Wu's fighting style was influenced by his father. Like Liu Zhiye, he was very brave, bold but not reckless.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the war zone was to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and personally visit and survey it, even down to every pothole.

Because he knew that the rainforest terrain was complex and the climate was changeable, and only by understanding the terrain could he assign tasks to each team in an orderly manner.

There was a small hill at the front line. Liu Wu boldly set up his command post directly inside the hill, right under the enemy's nose.

You know, the command post is equivalent to the brain of a unit and is usually located in the rear.
Liu Wu's bold style frightened the rear command, but he was able to receive news from the front line and formulate battle plans in a timely manner.

In the early morning of a certain day, the enemy launched a surprise attack on our army, but was discovered by our army's alert sentry and killed on the spot. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the enemy fled in panic.

Looking at the corpses of the enemy, Liu Wu frowned and thought, if there is a first sneak attack, there will be countless times. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative to attack and wipe out the enemy once and for all.

In order to complete the attack plan against the enemy, we must first understand the enemy's dynamics.

There are countless caves in the mountains of the rainforest, and each cave may contain a group of enemies.

It is obviously a difficult task to complete the survey.

But Liu Wu is not someone who will be defeated by difficulties. In order to wipe out the enemies hiding in the cave,

Liu Wu led his soldiers to go up the mountain many times at the risk of their lives, destroy the buildings and facilities on the mountain, and find and kill the "rats" hiding in the caves.

In this way, the potential security risks around our army were completely resolved, and the enemy was dealt a heavy blow before the war even started.

Next, it is time for the "Second Squadron" to take the initiative.

During a night patrol, the sentry discovered an enemy camp and reported to the headquarters.
Liu Wu acted decisively and immediately led the Second Squadron to launch a surprise attack on the enemy camp. As a result, the enemy was caught off guard and a great victory was achieved.

After the victory of the first proactive attack, Liu Wu was not carried away by the victory, but this victory was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to the new recruits.

After a brief adjustment, Liu Wu worked out a detailed plan and launched a series of fierce attacks on the enemy's main force. Finally, with minimal casualties, he completely eliminated the enemy's intention to hold their positions.

In many battles, Liu Wu not only used tactics such as surprise attack, center attack, left and right attack, luring the enemy out of their hole, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, but he also led the charge every time.

This is the same as his father Liu Zhiye. If the superiors do not take the lead in charging, how can the soldiers not fear life and death? Liu Wu's bravery also won the respect of many soldiers in the army.

On the L Mountain battlefield, the Second Squadron led by Liu Wu fought for more than a month.

They completed many tasks and were awarded a second-class collective merit, which is the highest award on the entire battlefield.

In response to the compliment, Liu Wu simply smiled and said: "All the soldiers in the army deserve praise. I am just a part of this big group. After all, without them, even if I had three heads and six arms..."

On the morning of January 1, the following year, Nala in L Mountain on the Yunnan border was shrouded in silence, when a hurried phone call came in. The commander on duty at the front command learned from the phone that the enemy had been urgently sending reinforcements to Hill 6, and at this time the Xia Army's "Black Panther Commando" had already begun action.

"Black Panther Commando" captain Zhong Xingguo was surprised to hear the news.

The enemy's strength is growing. With the enemy occupying an advantageous terrain, can the "Black Panther Second Squadron" complete its mission?
Hill 167 is located at the bottom of the L Mountain Nara battlefield, with an altitude of only 167 meters. It is surrounded by green mountains and protrudes from the bottom like a steel tooth in a tiger's mouth.

There are countless natural stone caves in this place, and the enemy's firepower points are hidden under some of the dark cave entrances.

The enemy built nearly 167 garrison defenses on Hill 20 and deployed a company of troops to defend it.

More than 90 officers and soldiers of the "Black Panther" Second Squadron were divided into several groups, including the ambush team, main attack team, firepower team, combat support team, medical team, etc., and were divided into the first and second assault teams.

They are special forces of the spearhead unit. The team members get up early every morning to practice hard. They can disassemble and reassemble weapons such as guns and rocket launchers with their eyes closed.

The front command decided to launch a battle to capture a point on January 1, code-named "assault". The operation was divided into three phases: lurking, capturing a point and retreating.

1月6日凌晨4:30分，突击队副队长孙新春带队，20名敢死队员组成了潜伏分队向一号通道出发。

This passage is overgrown with weeds and is located at the saddle of the enemy's position. It is about 70 meters long. Our army also needs to go down a steep slope of more than degrees, with an unobstructed open area in the middle.

The enemy had to climb a steep slope of nearly 80 degrees to reach Cave No. 167 and Cave No. on Hill , and the enemy used ammunition to blockade them from time to time.

Under the guidance of engineer squad leader Ma Zhijun, the lurking team crept forward quietly, not daring to make any sound.

When the ambush team stepped onto Channel No. 167, gunfire soon rang out from the top of Hill , blowing up the dirt on the ground, some of which splashed directly onto the team members' faces.

Everyone immediately became nervous. Could it be that the enemy had discovered them?

Sun Xinchun asked the team members to hide on the spot. After a while, the sound of gunfire quieted down. It turned out that the enemy was firing indiscriminately to give themselves courage.

The team members continued to move forward and arrived at the entrances of caves No. 6 and No. 20 at :, getting closer and closer to the enemy.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, a few startled mice ran around in a panic, making "squeaking" sounds in the weeds. The team members were so nervous that they held their breath and pressed against the stone wall.

Two minutes later, the surroundings returned to calm. Sun Xinchun looked from Cave No. 1 and found a ray of light in the cave. He searched vigilantly and found that the light came from the cracks in the stone wall.

After finding nothing unusual, Sun Xinchun lowered his guard, turned on his communication radio, pressed the switch seven times, and sent a signal to Liu Wu that he had arrived safely.

When Liu Wu received the signal from Sun Xinchun, his expression was very heavy.

Next, the team members had to lurk under the enemy's nose for 24 hours. The entrances of caves No. and No. were only seven or eight meters away from the enemy's outpost.

Lurking day and night, ready.

The environment in the jungle is extremely harsh, with lots of mosquitoes. It is difficult to imagine how painful it is to not make any sound for 24 hours.

At 1 a.m. on January 7, Sun Xinchun sent out the last safety signal.

At this time, the 20-member assault team is about to set off and will take on the main attack mission under the cover of the lurking team. After the battle starts, the assault team will have the highest casualty rate.

At around 1 o'clock on January 7, the assault team marched through the night, and everyone was fully prepared.

Old Song, who was a radio operator, was afraid that the two batteries in the radio would not be enough, so he specially prepared two more spare batteries.

He also brought three submachine gun magazines, a gas mask and a pack of explosives, with a total equipment weight of more than 70 kilograms.

The team members were highly alert with every step forward and must not make any noise that might alert the enemy.

After arriving at the destination, Sun Xinchun led several team members to set up telephone lines and sneak into the designated area.

At 1:7 a.m. on January 6, Liu Wu, captain of the second squadron of the "Black Panther Commando", and Li Erniu and others arrived at Cave No. .

Deputy Captain Sun Xinchun quietly gave a brief report to Captain Liu Wu, telling him that there were enemies in Cave No. 3. Liu Wu decided to avoid Cave No. 3 and attack the enemy from above the stone forest.

1月7日6:50分，离我军预定进攻的时间仅有10分钟的时间，敌军的炮火却突然响了起来。

It turned out that while our army was in hiding, one of its soldiers accidentally kicked a stone, causing it to roll down the hillside. The enemy heard the sound and fired several more artillery shells.

A member of the ambush team was hit by shrapnel and seriously injured. The time for the charge was getting closer and closer. If any noise was made at this time, it would cause irreparable damage to the entire battle.

The young soldier stretched out his hand to signal the squad leader not to come to rescue him, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.

The severe pain tormented the young soldier, but he wrapped the glory bullet in a handkerchief and bit it hard to relieve the pain, and dug his hands into the mud until the last moment of his life.

Another commando member, Guo Wenhua, was also hit by enemy fire and fell on the battlefield.

Guo Wenhua is the only son in the family. He is usually kind and gentle and has a very good relationship with others. His sacrifice ignited the anger of the team members.

The time for the charge soon arrived, and the team members gathered in front of the enemy's cave entrance as planned, and quickly took control of the surface position of Hill 167.

Liu Wu sent back a "everything is ready" report to the command post. The artillery and firepower teams were ready, and they were about to face a more severe battle.

At this time, the battlefield was quickly filled with smoke, raging fires, and the roar of bombs. The firepower team ambushed underground at Height 167 began to move.

A squad leader and two soldiers rushed to Hill 167 under the cover of artillery fire from the rear and began to destroy the enemy's fortifications.

In the cave on the main peak, the enemy fired fierce machine gun fire, and the team members were unable to get close to the cave entrance for a while.
Commando Ma Zhanfu crawled forward to the enemy's cave and threw in several grenades.

But the enemy's machine guns were still firing, and the comrades in the rear were still unable to get close.
At the critical moment, Ma Zhanfu resolutely rushed to the cave entrance and blocked it with his body.
He held off the enemy's machine gun with all his might, and when he died he was still holding a grenade in his hand.

Half an hour later, the team members rushed to the main peak of Hill 167 and destroyed about 20 fortifications along the way.

After fighting for an hour and a half, the commandos basically wiped out the surface enemies on the high ground.
The enemy's artillery blockade made it impossible for the commandos to retreat, and the enemy's fierce artillery fire was overwhelming.

During the battle, the enemy used air-blast bombs, which exploded about 10 meters from the ground. Thousands of air-blast bombs fell from the sky.

At the moment of the explosion, shrapnel flew everywhere, causing heavy casualties to the suicide squad members who were alone and deep in the territory, and the team members who rushed to the main peak were put in a desperate situation.

When the team members heard the sound of the bomb, they quickly lowered their heads and lay down.

Machine gunner Xiao Hou was hit by shrapnel and suffered multiple injuries. A cut was made on his shoulder, with the skin and flesh turned inside out.

Xiao Hou shouted: "Captain, I'm injured!"

Squad leader Li Erniu was very close to him and rushed over to bandage him. Xiao Hou cried in pain.

Li Erniu carried him on his back. Xiao Hou had no helmet on his head, so he could only protect it with his hands.

Li Erniu had only one belief at this time, which was to keep his soldiers alive. He later said: "They are my soldiers, and I don't want them to die again."

This is what happened to squad leader Li Erniu. He carried his comrades on his back across the line of fire amid heavy artillery fire, trying to save them, but more and more comrades around him were sacrificed.

Amid the heavy artillery fire, no sound could be heard from the radio station. Soldier Ma Zhijun quickly used flag signals to give commands. A row of artillery shells attacked him, and one of them landed directly in front of him, lifting him up.

When Liu Wu stepped on a big rock, a bomb struck, but was pushed away in time by demolition expert Fu Hongbo.

However, Liu Wu was also knocked unconscious by the huge shock wave of the bomb, and even the camouflage net on his helmet was immediately burned off.

Fu Hongbo has been serving as a soldier under Liu Wu.

Before departure, the instructor told him: "Follow the squadron leader and ensure his safety."

"Don't worry, even if I die, I will not let Captain Liu die." Fu Hongbo said seriously.

On the battlefield full of gunfire and bullets, the younger brother Fu Hongbo pushed Liu Wu away when the bomb fell and saved the captain's life, but he himself died beside Liu Wu.

When Liu Wu woke up, he found two soldiers calling him, and the big rock just blocked the shrapnel from the explosion.
