march to victory

"Commander, what are you gesticulating?"

The cave was filled with torches, and the mountain wind blew in, making the flames sway, and even the shadows of the people were swaying.The cave might collapse at any time, and most of the soldiers and prisoners were moved outside the cave. Huang Debao took twenty or thirty soldiers to wait for the results of the interrogation—but he dared not all go out, otherwise, in case the remaining bandits escaped, they would be killed at will. Drill into a crack in the rock or the top of the cave, it's better if you don't find it, if they sneak attack from the side, it will be really troublesome.

Seeing Huang Debao standing on the second checkpoint, facing the way he came from, making gestures with his hands from time to time, the Tie Hongjun who was in charge of security at the side asked very puzzled.

"Old Tie, come and take a look." Huang Debao pointed to the second checkpoint, and said, "Accordingly, from the dark place to the checkpoint, at a distance of up to 30 meters, grenades can still be thrown on the checkpoint. Bandits can take this second checkpoint." The road barrier is so solid, there must be someone to point it out, so the distance must be considered. But why didn’t the enemy push the distance of the torch forward by another 20 meters, wouldn’t it be safer?”

Tie Hongjun thought for a while, shook his head and said with a smile: "Company commander, don't bother, just ask the prisoners and everything will be clear."

"The answer to the question is too easy, I want to figure it out by myself."

"I see." After a while, Huang Debao slapped his thigh and sighed: "The enemy is indeed better than us in building fortifications."

He patted Tie Hongjun's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Old Tie, you are lucky, you are courageous, and you hit the right way in a daze."

Tie Hongjun is a decent man, and he doesn't want anyone to underestimate the military exploits he and his comrades have fought so hard. Even if the opponent is a superior, he still has to fight for it.

"Company commander, if you say that, I don't agree with you. The comrades fought with all their might, but you said we were lucky. I absolutely disagree with this."

Seeing Tie Hongjun looking up unconvinced, Huang Debao smiled and said: "Don't be unconvinced, what I said is true. It can be summed up in one sentence: the enemy is fighting us psychologically, bet on your life! If you don't believe me, go find the prisoners Just ask, when they designed this level, they must have considered factors such as grenades or shells. The bet is that the attacking party will not dare to blow up here, and they will die together. At the same time, at a distance of three or four meters, shoot at each other, People on the checkpoint take advantage of it, charge, and even seek death, it’s just the right distance.”

The implication is that the Iron Red Army led the commandos without considering the risks at all. They exploded as soon as they came up, with an astonishing momentum, which made the bandits mistakenly think that the Red Army was going to die with them, and they surrendered in fright.To put it bluntly, it is suspected that the commandos are all fools.However, if you think about it, if you don't have this kind of foolish personality and courage that are not afraid of death, what kind of revolution are you talking about?

Still unconvinced, Tie Hongjun glanced at Huang Debao, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, turned and left.

Soon, he came back again, gave Huang Debao a fistful to express his admiration, and said with a smirk, "The checkpoint here was designed by Zhao Wu who arrested two members of the geological survey team."

Huang Debao laughed heartily: "Let me just say, with these bandits who only know how to bully the common people, how could they think about this. He is already capable if he didn't just use a few stones as obstacles."

At this moment, Wu Shuibao came running with a few people.

"Lieutenant Huang, the interrogation is clear. Zhao Wu and Zhuanshanhu, who are so cruel, fled into the cave with a few confidantes." While talking, he handed over a piece of paper: "This is Director Li (Self-Defense Force Instructor) Li Guowei) drew a sketch of the terrain behind the checkpoint according to the captive’s explanation.”

According to the sketch and Wu Shuibao’s explanation: behind the second checkpoint, there is a 60-40-meter tunnel, and then there are three fork holes. The leftmost hole is a wind tunnel. Because of the strong wind, no one has ever entered it. Go in 100 meters and you will reach the end. The one on the far right is the main cave. After entering more than [-] meters, there will be a Yin River. Zhao Wu seems to have no interest in it, so no one knows what is going on on the other side of the Yin River.

Huang Debao pondered for a while, and asked, "What is Lao Li doing?"

"We are organizing everyone together, borrowing baskets and poles from the people's homes, and after we have completely wiped out the bandits, we will go into the cave to pick things up. We also sent comrades to bury the dead soldiers and bandits." There are a lot of miscellaneous things, but they are all trivial and trivial things, so there is no need to talk about them, otherwise there will be suspicion of provocation.For example, two bandits who were killed by the explosion were relatives of the local people. The two families begged the Red Army to bury the bodies of the two bandits elsewhere and obtained consent.

"Company commander, don't bother the two masters! Since our commando team is the vanguard of attacking Tiger Cave, and now we have experience in this field, our commando team volunteered for this mission."

Huang Debao asked with a smile: "Attack the Tiger Cave and eliminate the big bandits Zhao Wu and Zhanshanhu. Your commando team has completed one of these two tasks. Since I want to make persistent efforts and make things perfect, I naturally want the beauty of an adult. But , you must remember: The bandits must be wiped out, but comrades should also pay attention to safety and protect themselves, don’t just throw grenades at them regardless of what they did just now, and everyone almost died together.”

"Company commander, please don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in both aspects, otherwise, I will come to see you."

"This is serious. There is no one who will not die in a war."

Immediately, several people discussed for a while under the light of the torches, and soon, nine commando members took the lead, mainly searching the main cave.Another ten fighters followed behind, mainly searching for the other two sub-caves.Another [-] comrades are standing by and ready to support.

This time, everyone had to take the risk of moving forward with torches: the reason for attacking the second checkpoint was that the second checkpoint was there, and there were no forks along the way, so the bandits had to guard the second checkpoint.But now, firstly, although Zhao Wu and the few confidants brought by Zhuanshanhu hid in the Chadong, but there were not many of them; Avoid, without light, absolutely can not be found.

To put it bluntly, the two people walking in the front are the most dangerous.But what makes people proud is that whether they are commando members or other Red Army soldiers, regardless of personal life and death, they all demand to be at the forefront.There was no end to the dispute, and in the end, Huang Debao came up with an idea for everyone: everyone drew lots to decide.

And Tie Hongjun was drawn in second place, but as he walked, he came to the first place. He nicknamed it: I am the captain and the vanguard general. He hides behind your ass and acts as a vanguard asshole.

The commandos walked slowly, mainly searching and guarding.

Zhang Qingshan was unlucky, he walked in the back, tried to go forward several times, but was blocked by someone.In desperation, he had to hold the torch high, point the gun at the top of the cave, and search while walking.

After walking for a few minutes, the sound of the river flowing gradually came to his ears, and Zhang Qingshan's heart also became nervous: he was not nervous about his own safety, but worried about the safety of the comrades walking ahead.Because according to the sketch, the bottom of this hole is a Yin River.In other words, if Zhao Wu and Zhuanshanhu are hiding here, then it's time to see the truth.Of the other two fork holes, one cannot go deep, and the distance in the other hole is shorter than theirs. They are going to the end, but there is no gunshot from that hole, which makes everyone feel that Zhao Wu He and the Zhanshanhu were somewhere ahead, and the tension naturally increased as the distance approached.

"Go on, leave only my torch, and put out the rest of the torches. Also, keep a distance from each other, don't let people carry them all in one shuttle."

Now is not the time to fight, everyone did as they said: Iron Red Army held the torch high in his left hand, and the box cannon in his right hand, leaning against the wall, with a solemn expression and wide-open eyes, walking forward bit by bit.The crowd scattered and followed behind him six or seven meters, which was just enough to vaguely use the torch light in the hands of the Iron Red Army to see the road, and made it difficult for others to see clearly from the opposite side. They bowed, stepped on catwalks, and followed quietly.

It was getting closer and closer, my heart was in my throat, and the palm of the hand holding the gun was full of sweat.Especially when seeing the Tie Hongjun walk out of the cave, Zhang Qingshan opened his mouth nervously, and kept imagining in his mind that the Tie Hongjun died heroically under the sound of gunshots from the bandits.

However, there were no gunshots or shouts, except for the sound of the rushing Yin River, everything was 'calm'.

Tie Hongjun raised the box cannon in his hand, and after saying the pre-agreed code word to his teammates to stand by for orders, he held a torch, walked around the shore around the entrance of the cave, and waved to the team members.

The crowd hurried over, first surrounded the Iron Red Army in the center, and then had time to look at the surrounding environment: there was only a 20-meter-long river beach around the entrance of the cave, and the rest were smooth stone walls.

I lit a torch and searched the river beach carefully, but I didn't see a ghost.The light from the torch cannot reach the other side, and the opposite side is pitch black, plus the rushing torrent, it is chilling to watch.

The crowd gathered together in despondency. A team member looked at the dark side and asked, "Captain, tell me, did the bandits go to the other side by boat?"

"I don't know, those bandits and ordinary people have never reached the other side. However, judging by the turbulence of the river, it is estimated that there are countless hidden reefs. I am afraid that ordinary boats cannot cross it..." He took a picture of himself He took out a flashlight from his trousers pocket and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Look at my memory, I forgot that the company commander specially gave me a flashlight with three batteries when I came here."

Batteries were a high-end item at the time and hard to come by, especially for the Red Army.Therefore, in order to save the battery, I am not willing to use it unless it is absolutely necessary... This is the real situation, not the author's invention.

The crowd hurriedly surrounded them with happy smiles, but Tie Hongjun said seriously, "What are you all doing here? What if the enemy is on the opposite side, and if you come here with one shuttle, wouldn't everyone be finished together? Spread out, spread out!"

Everyone curled their lips and dispersed.Only then did Tie Hongjun take the flashlight and shine it on the opposite side.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it...
