When Gu Sheng, the political commissar of the 15th Army, heard Cui Dake's words, he immediately chased after him.

"Master Zhang, wait a minute..."

When Zhang Yang heard someone calling him, he stopped immediately. When he saw it was Political Commissar Gu Sheng, he was quite surprised.

After catching up with Zhang Yang, Gu Sheng immediately questioned him.

"Captain Zhang, what are you doing? If you have any opinions, you can raise them at the meeting. Your attitude is a serious violation of military discipline."

Facing Gu Sheng's criticism, Zhang Yang immediately made an excuse.

"Political Commissar, it's not that I, Zhang Yang, don't know the limits, but that Qin Wei is too bullying. He only wants us to risk the lives of our soldiers. They are all raised by their parents, so why should we let them die in vain?

Originally, it was because he was too proud and stubborn, and refused to adopt the advice of Division Commander He, that caused such heavy casualties in our army. Now that Sniper Ridge has been lost, we are asked to fight with our lives. Following such a commander, I..."

Seeing that Zhang Yang seemed to want to say something bad, Gu Sheng directly warned him.

"Master Zhang, I understand what you mean.

But now that Sniper Ridge Heights has been lost, this means that our 15th Army's combat mission has failed.

Not only Commander Qin, but our entire 15th Army cannot afford this consequence.

Have you ever thought about how much casualties our volunteer army would suffer if the U.S. military used this place as a springboard to attack Pingrang City? We must not lose sight of the big picture because of the small details. We should think more about the significance of our participation in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. We are heroes, not cowards..."

Political Commissar Gu Sheng is worthy of being a leading figure in military ideology. With his careful persuasion, the knot in the heart of Zhang Yang, the commander of the 29th Division, was untied, and he followed Gu Sheng back to the army command.

When Army Commander Qin Wei saw Zhang Yang coming back, he couldn't help but say, "Oh, you still remember to come back."

When Gu Sheng heard what Qin Wei said, he frowned slightly and acted as a peacemaker.

"Okay, Commander Qin, please stop talking. We are all part of the 15th Army, and our only goal now is to capture the Sniper Ridge Heights that are in the hands of the South Korean 2nd Division.

Our top priority now is to discuss a battle plan, rather than passing the buck or leaving the situation unattended. We are soldiers, not rogues!"

Political Commissar Gu Sheng's words made Qin Wei and Zhang Yang put aside their prejudices and start discussing combat strategies.

This is why an army needs two chief officers, one to command the army in battle, and the other to correct and supervise the bad ideas and practices within the army.

Everyone continued to engage in a heated debate on how to attack Sniper Ridge Heights, but no one could come up with a good battle plan.

At this time, the commander of the 29th Division, Zhang Yang, made a shocking statement.

"Commander, Political Commissar, and everyone else, since we can't think of any good tactics to retake Sniper Ridge Heights, why don't we ask Commander He of the 120th Division next door to come over and let him give us some advice."

When Army Commander Qin Wei heard that they were going to look for He Daming again, his face darkened and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Division Commander Zhang, this is not appropriate. Looking for He Daming again and again, isn't this indirectly telling people that all of us here are idiots? Are we incompetent commanders?"

Zhang Yang didn't take Qin Wei's words seriously and immediately said,

"Commander, I would rather be treated as a straw bag than become a defeated general. As long as we can retake Sniper Ridge Heights, I don't care what others say."

Zhang Yang's words were also agreed by the commanders of the 44th and 45th Divisions.

To be honest, Qin Wei didn't look at He Daming with a good face, but he also knew that if they wanted to retake the Sniper Ridge Heights this time, they would need some external help.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly.

"Okay, Commander Zhang, go and ask He Daming to come over in person."

........................

Faced with the cordial invitation from Zhang Yang of the 29th Division, He Daming had no choice but to follow him to the headquarters of the 15th Army.

To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this mess, but when he thought that after the US military captured Sniper Ridge Heights, their attack focus would be on Shanjiaoshan Heights, he forced He Daming to help the 15th Army.

When He Daming arrived at the 15th Army's temporary command post, all those present were cadres at the division level and above of the 15th Army.

However, they all had sad faces at this time. When they saw the commander of the 120th Division, He Daming, arriving, their tense faces relaxed instantly.

Army commander Qin Wei was the first to ask He Daming,

"Commander He, you are finally here. Please help us to review this Sniper Ridge Heights and how we can take it back at the lowest cost."

In response to Qin Wei's words, He Daming did not rush to make a conclusion or give any opinions. Instead, he asked the cadres present about the current situation of the entire Sniper Ridge Heights.

"Captain Zhang, if I remember correctly, there are a lot of tunnels built under the Sniper Ridge. Are these tunnels still under our control?"

Before the 29th Division Commander Zhang Yang could reply, the Army Commander Qin Wei immediately took over the topic.

"Commander He, when Sniper Ridge fell, nearly half of our battalion of soldiers were trapped in the tunnels on the hill, and now we have lost contact.

We don’t know what the current situation is in the tunnels below Sniper Ridge Highland.”

After hearing what Qin Wei said, He Daming fell into deep thought. The news that the tunnel was still in the hands of the volunteers was quite beneficial to them.

Then he looked at Qin Wei again.

"By the way, Commander Qin, do you know which unit is currently occupying the Sniper Ridge Heights?"

He Daming's question stumped Qin Wei, and he was unable to answer for a while.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he immediately looked at Zhang Yang, the commander of the 29th Division,

"Master Zhang, you should tell Master He about this problem."

He Daming found it very funny when he heard what Qin Wei said. He thought to himself, this Qin Wei is really funny. I didn't know he likes to grab the topic. I am speechless.

Although Zhang Yang had some complaints about Qin Wei at this time, he did not care about it as he faced a powerful enemy. He directly reported the situation on Sniper Ridge to He Daming.

"Commander He, according to the information sent back by our front-line reconnaissance company, Sniper Ridge Heights is currently guarded by the 2nd and 1rd Battalions of the 2st Regiment of the 3nd Division of South Korea."
