The morning sun, with the warmth of spring, shines lazily; the breeze, with a slight coolness, gently dances with the tender green dots.
On the top of the mountain, Hu Yi sat by the stone, concentrating on turning the pages of the book in his hand... Raid is a kind of attack. Guerrilla warfare does not focus on regular positional attacks, but on sudden attacks, or surprise attacks. This is because guerrilla warfare is strategically about defeating the majority with the minority and the strong with the weak. Otherwise, the goal cannot be achieved...
The author of this book is a legend in Hu Yi's mind, and the opening chapter gave him a sudden enlightenment. The tactical theory, which was completely different from what he had learned and experienced before, was like a mirror, which made Hu Yi start to rethink his own experience in the smoke of war and look at the war from a new perspective.
Luo Fugui casually threw the engineer shovel on the breastwork inside the bunker, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at Hu Yi who was blending into the stone: "Boss Hu, can you change someone? I beg you! Can you say something?"
Hu Yi was concentrating on reading between the lines, as if he regarded Luo Fugui's words as a breeze in his ears.
"I really don't know what you are thinking. Ma Liang and Runny Nose, one is conscious and the other has ideas. They are perfect for being deputy squad leaders. Why do you have to force me to take on this role? Hey, Boss Hu, Squad Leader Hu, Hero Hu, Master Hu..." Luo Fugui has been irritated about being deputy squad leader since last night. He was not interested in power and honor in the first place. Not only would he get nothing as a deputy squad leader, but he would also have to bear greater responsibilities if something goes wrong in the future. It would be thankless and he would be guilty of a bigger crime if he made a mistake. Luo Fugui didn't want to make such a stupid mistake.
Hu Yi finally closed the book in his hand, slowly stood up and walked over, looking at Luo Fugui with a dark face without saying a word.
Luo Fugui suddenly felt a little cold, and the sweat he had just produced while digging the bunker disappeared in an instant: "Uh, that, just pretend I didn't say anything, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Keep digging!" Hu Yi finally spoke.
"I've finished digging. Look, this is not what you said."
Hu Yi glanced at the bunker and frowned: "What did I teach you? Why is the bottom of the pit flat?"
"Hey, the flat one is more comfortable. The slanted one is uncomfortable and awkward to step on."
Hu Yi, who was standing at the edge of the pit, suddenly raised his foot and kicked Luo Fugui in the pit. "The slope is for grenades to roll down. If you make it flat, how can the grenades flying in fall into the bulletproof pit? Are you tired of living?"
Luo Fugui, who was hunched over in the pit, was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? This, hey, I thought this pit at the back was for taking a shit in the bunker!"
Ma Liang crept forward cautiously until he stopped behind a row of bushes and waved his hand behind him. After a while, Liu Jianqiang and Wu Shitou also quietly crawled over, and the three of them hid behind the bushes.
"There's an open area about thirty or forty meters ahead. We have no choice but to charge. Let's keep our distance and take turns attacking. Wherever the enemy attacks, we'll lie down and hide, and then charge on the other side." Ma Liang whispered to Liu Jianqiang.
“Do you know what a charge means? A charge relies on momentum, and you have to move forward courageously!” Liu Jianqiang did not agree with Ma Liang’s method.
"I'm talking about runny nose. What's the difference between what you did and committing suicide? Our mission is to eliminate the target, not to be a hero!"
"Do you think that your method is not suicide? Do you think you are the only one who understands? Look ahead, there is nothing to block you. You will still be beaten if you lie down. The only way to stand a chance is to rush forward." After Liu Jianqiang finished speaking, he picked up his gun, changed from lying down to squatting, and prepared to jump over the bushes.
Ma Liang stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Jianqiang's pants: "Runny Nose, can you please stop being stupid! You want to die in vain, but you will also be hurt by me! How can I charge alone?"
Liu Jianqiang raised his hand and pulled Ma Liang's hand away, his expression serious: "Either you rush over with me now, or you stay here and cool off, and stop doing those useless things."
Ma Liang was finally helpless: "Okay, okay, runny nose, I give in to you, let's go together."
Suddenly, two figures jumped out from behind the bushes and rushed into the open space with guns in hand.
A whistling sound was heard, and Ma Liang, who was running at full speed, heard the muffled groan of Liu Jianqiang after being shot.
You deserve it! You stupid piece of shit, Ma Liang hated him in his heart. He changed his pace, bent down as much as possible, and rushed to the low-lying area beside him, trying to avoid it.
The whistling sound came again. Just as Ma Liang was about to lie down, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his ribs. Ma Liang staggered a few steps and finally fell down. He couldn't help but yelled: "You stupid girl, are you serious? Do you know how much it hurts! Ouch..."
"Now I'm a devil and I don't understand what you are saying! Two big idiots, hehehe..." A smug laugh came from behind the bushes.
Liu Jianqiang lay on the open ground, unable to get up. He looked up at the sky, feeling that he had sacrificed himself heroically. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling lazy under the sun and unwilling to move.
Ma Liang climbed up again, brushing off the dust on his body while shouting behind the bushes: "Fool, come out, we lost."
"Why?" Wu Shitou, who was behind the bushes, was confused.
"Because both Snotlout and I were shot."
There was no response from behind the bushes, so Ma Liang had no choice but to walk over. Seeing that Wu Shitou was still lying behind the bushes, not moving, he raised his foot and gave Wu Shitou a light kick on the butt: "Did you hear me?"
"I wasn't shot." Wu Shitou remained unmoved and continued to lie down.
Haha, Ma Liang couldn't help but laugh: "What's the point of just lying there like this? You won't win even if you lie there until dark."
"How do you win?"
"Throw the grenade near the enemy and you win."
"I don't have any grenades."
"This is a fake fight. Of course I won't give you real grenades. Use this." Ma Liang handed the clod of earth in his pocket to Wu Shitou. This idiot was stubborn, so Ma Liang wanted to let him get hit by a bullet and end it all.
This was an exercise, but it wasn't really an exercise, because no one had the concept of "exercise" in those days. Hu Yi wanted to explain the offensive tactics of the infantry squad to them, but their cultural level limited their ability to understand. Just talking was basically ineffective. In desperation, Hu Yi had to use this entertaining method to let them experience it firsthand and understand it thoroughly.
Wu Shitou finally understood what he should do. He picked up the clod of earth in his hand and carefully began to stick his head out, trying to observe the target location.
Whoosh—clatter—a small stone hit the bush next to Wu Shitou, causing the dead branches to tremble.
Wu Shitou was so frightened that he shrank his neck and lay down again.
Ma Liang, who was standing nearby, was also startled. He quickly stepped back a few steps and shouted towards the weeds thirty or forty meters away: "Hey, girl, you're fighting from such a distance? What if you get your eyes hurt?"
"You know the danger, why don't you surrender quickly? I don't care about you guys!"
Ma Liang was helpless. This little girl was going crazy and had no limit. He could only say to Wu Shitou who was lying on the ground, "Fool, stop fighting and surrender."
Wu Shitou had long been absorbed in his own world, and ignored Ma Liang's words. Seeing that he would be beaten for sticking his head out, he casually pulled out the engineer shovel on his back, carefully raised the shovel head upwards, and slowly poked the shovel head out of the bushes.
Whoosh—clang—the stone flew over immediately, hit the shovel hard, and then bounced away lightly.
Wu Shitou was not affected. He slowly bent down and put his head behind the curved shovel. Through the two tiny observation holes on the engineer shovel, he carefully looked at the grass opposite the open area.
Ma Liang looked at Wu Shitou curiously, and he really didn't expect that he would put this to good use. Class 9 had three engineer shovels, Liu Jianqiang, Luo Fugui and Wu Shitou each had one. At first, everyone was puzzled by the two small holes on the surface of the Japanese engineer shovel. After asking the squad leader Hu Yi, they learned that these were two observation holes, and the distance between them was exactly the pupil distance of the human eye. Although Wu Shitou was a little stupid, he was very concerned about tools and remembered it deeply. When others forgot about it, he would not forget it.
When the little girl raised her head again and pulled the slingshot to shoot, Wu Shitou saw a green Japanese steel helmet, underneath which was an ugly and weird donkey face with two big round glass eyes and a tube hanging from its mouth. It looked so hideous and wretched.
I have followed my father to dig wells since I was a child. I spent more time squatting at the bottom of the well than standing outside. The only fun I had was to occasionally throw stones out of the well for fun during breaks. This was a technical job. If you didn't throw it well, the stones would fall and hit your head. It was a matter of seconds.
The target location was determined. The distance was neither too close nor too far. Wu Shitou swung his hand vigorously, and the clod of earth flew obliquely into the sky.
Ma Liang stared blankly at the beautiful parabola. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling and shouted, "Girl, run!"
Originally, this lump of earth was a little tilted and a little high. When Xiao Hongying heard Ma Liang's shout, she instinctively stuck her head out again and swung around to see what was going on.
Clank—clatter—
The helmet was hit directly, breaking into pieces. Xiao Hongying's ears were buzzing and stars were visible in front of her eyes. She fell to the ground in the grass with a thud and disappeared.
Ma Liang was stunned, and Liu Jianqiang also got up in surprise, and they looked at the silent patch of weeds together.
After a while, a childish roar finally came from behind the bushes: "I'm going to kill your whole family—"
