Feng Kezhi put down the binoculars he was holding and handed them to the orderly beside him. He looked at one of his division commanders and asked, "Can you capture the high ground across from us in 5 hours?"
"I can!" That division commander answered confidently, "If I can't take it, I'll bury myself there!"
"Very good! Have the artillery get ready, cover it with rockets, choose incendiary rounds... the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 9th Armored Division will provide cover... I'll give you 5 hours, break through here and seize control of the highway under the high ground." As Feng Kezhi spoke, he lifted his leg and walked out of the concealed observation post along the winding trench.
"General! Be careful." The guard beside Feng Kezhi followed him and reminded him. They were less than a thousand meters from the enemy's position, which was still very dangerous. If the enemy attacked with mortars, they could all be hit by shells at this distance.
