Chapter 15 Trap

Chapter 15 Trap

The bearded man is the leader, and the leader is the bearded man!

Seeing the bearded man coming over happily, I was stunned, and the soldiers were also stunned...

"Platform Commander Cui..." Commander Li secretly stabbed me and said anxiously: "Salute!"

"Um!" Only then did I suddenly wake up, stand up and salute to the bearded man, "Hello, leader!"

"Okay..." The bearded man patted my shoulder, then punched me hard in the chest, and said, "Wow! He hits very boldly and wisely! To be honest, before you started fighting, I was having a headache about how to get this 386 high ground! I didn't expect that you would solve it in just a few strokes. It's really awesome young man!"

"Report to the leader..." I said a little at a loss: "I, I'm all confused... and... I've made mistakes!"

"What mistake did you make?" The bearded man looked at me with some confusion.

"I... beat your person, and..." I was stunned when I said this. To be honest, besides hitting people, I really can't say anything wrong, just being big or small in front of the bearded man! But this doesn't seem to be a crime.

"Hey, what's that wrong!" The bearded man waved generously: "That's what he deserves. He didn't ask about the battlefield and went up to stop people without asking, and treated you as deserters... It's good! It's good! If you don't give him that a moment, what should I do if the fighter plane is delayed? I'll punish him!"

"Captain..." I felt a little embarrassed when I heard it: "It's better... forget it! He is also his duty!"

The bearded man laughed and said, "This is my business, you can fight your battle well! Young man, there is a future! Do it well, ah!"

As he said that, he nodded to me with approval, and then took the guards back to the team. Only then did I realize that teams of PLA soldiers were lined up by passing the canyon we had just rushed up, and then he was reconnaissance at the fastest speed while advancing to the bent mountain road to the south.

"Platform Commander Cui!" Captain Li looked at me with envy and said, "Your battle! You have become famous, and even the regiment commander appreciates you so much!"

I smiled without comment. You know, when I was a regiment commander when I resisted the U.S. and aided Korea, I was also the regiment commander of the ace force. So it may be a great thing to be appreciated by a regiment commander in the eyes of others, but for me, it is no big deal!

"Why don't we follow the troops?" I couldn't help but ask in confusion as the bearded man walked forward with the troops.

"We have to clean the battlefield, right?" Commander Li pointed to the corpses all over the mountain and said, "There are also the Vietnamese Japanese in the tunnels that have to be solved no matter what, otherwise they will cause us trouble behind the scenes!"

"Oh!" I couldn't help but nod.

It’s not that I don’t know about this, but I was originally the leader of the 538th Regiment. As a main force, I was always used to fighting tough battles in the front. These aftermaths were left to other troops, so I didn’t expect this for a moment.

Looking at the tunnels built by the Vietnamese army, I shook my head and ignored them. For me, who has rich experience in tunnel combat, I can see that the Vietnamese army is not prepared for tunnel battles at all. At best, these tunnels are just advanced anti-aircraft gun holes.

But by the way, they really don’t need to engage in any tunnel battle with us. Fighting tunnel battles is a tactic that only used when our own equipment is obviously inferior to the other side, otherwise no one would be willing to hold themselves in a place with a big butt to fight. For example, the huge difference between our army’s equipment and the joint *** equipment during the War to Resist U.S. and Aid Korea, and the Vietnamese side during the U.S.-Vietnam War. But now, the equipment of the Vietnamese army is obviously stronger than our side, so they turned a blind eye to the construction of tunnels!

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would take a lot of time for us to take down the Vietnamese army in this tunnel.

Now it's easy. Look at the soldiers. Just find an angle to throw a few grenades into the tunnel, and shout "Nuokong Songlei!". Then several Vietnamese soldiers in ragged uniforms came out to surrender. Then, regardless of whether there were anyone in the tunnel, they threw an explosive bag inside and exploded all the holes that could hide people one by one.

The task of other soldiers is to find Vietnamese troops who may pretend to be dead among the dead. The way they look for is to use bayonets to test them one by one.

Of course, I believe that most of the people who do this work are veterans, because all the new recruits are afraid to look at each other, including the soldiers in our company.

There is no other way! In the past month, I can teach them the skills of fighting and the way to survive, but I can't help them adapt to the cruelty of the battlefield and get used to the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

"Platform Leader Cui!" The hometown man handed me a cigarette, gathered with Yang Songjian, and said, "With a good start, work hard together!"

"Work hard together!"

...

The three people held each other tightly together.

I know what this means. In fact, since the start of this battle, I think the people in my hometown and Yang Songjian were a little confused, that is, should I listen to me or the company commander on the battlefield. It is not their fault, after all, the troops have rules. If my order conflicts with Commander Li's order, they still don't know how to choose. But now, I know that they have no small conflict in their hearts. This is undoubtedly the result of my training playing a role in the battlefield and winning this battle.

With a "boom!", a grenade exploded more than 100 meters away. The two soldiers who cleaned the battlefield were instantly blown to the point of blood. The soldiers pointed their guns in the direction of the explosion, but there was nothing except blood and minced meat.

Something happened when using the bayonet to test. When the soldiers pretended to be dead in the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army still had time to ignite the grenades. This also reminded the soldiers to be vigilant at all times, but this was another bloody experience.

"Use a gun! Use bullets..." I shouted to the soldiers: "Whether you live or die, you will hit them all at the head!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and then gunshots quickly rang out on the battlefield.

The stretcher team and the containment team soon came up and used the stretcher to lift the wounded and sacrificed soldiers down. What surprised me was that many of the stretcher teams and containment teams also carried 56 and a half. Later I learned that many of them were actually militiamen. Fortunately, I didn't ask at that time, otherwise, my former militia would have exposed myself in front of the people in my hometown.

It took us more than an hour to clean the battlefield like this. After counting the number of people, we followed the signs left by the main force.

Not to mention, sometimes we are really glad that we were lagging behind for more than an hour. Because along the way were full of landmines, soldiers who were injured by bamboo sticks, blood, bullet craters, broken limbs and broken arms... everything was shocking. But as follow-up troops, we don’t need to worry about this. What I worry about is that since there are landmines of the Vietnamese army along the way, will we still have sudden sex this time?

It is not as difficult as I thought, nor as far as I thought. After all, our goal is to surround Tongdeng. Tongdeng is only five kilometers away from our starting point. Although this path is a little far away, there are large troops leading the way forward, so after an hour and a half, we almost followed the large troops.

Seeing the main force right in front of us from afar, the soldiers stepped forward. At this time, a sudden roar of shells made us fall to the ground. But the shells did not blow at us, but at the main force ahead of us...

So we saw a very tragic scene. The main force in front disappeared in an instant, replaced by smoke that exploded in radial shape. Among these smoke, some soldiers were thrown into the air. Not to mention, we are in a mountainous area, with bamboos several meters high everywhere, trees and other things rising high. When the shells hit these trees, they would explode in the air, so the lethality of their fragments increased tenfold...

The main force is over! Corps Li and I looked at each other and knew that after this bombing, half of the main force could come back alive would be good.

The Vietnamese army had long expected that we would intersperse from this position, and had already set up artillery fire waiting for us to come up. If our camp had not been behind because we wanted to clean the battlefield, we would have suffered the same fate now.

"No! The regiment commander is there too..." Captain Li got up from the ground and was about to rush forward, but I pressed it to the ground.

"You're crazy!" I shouted at him, "What's the use of rushing up? Can you save the regiment commander?"

"Then let's watch the regiment commander and the others be bombed?" Captain Li obviously lost his calmness.

"What else can it do?" I gritted my teeth and replied, "Run up and die with them? Who will save them later?"

After I said this, Commander Li stopped making any noise and just smashed his fist to the ground.

After thinking about it, I said to Captain Li: "I suspect that the Vietnamese devils have an ambush in front of me. After the bombardment is over, they will charge against our army. At that time, our main force is really over! Let me lead the troops up!"

When Commander Li heard this, he suddenly turned around and looked at me. He nodded first, and then asked again: "Do you want to ask the battalion commander? He is right behind!"

"No hurry!" I shook my head: "The enemy's round of artillery bombing may only be a few minutes. After asking for instructions, the battalion commander..."

"No problem!" Captain Li nodded immediately and said, "Take the troops up! I'll explain to the battalion commander!"

"Yeah!" I didn't dare to delay, so I waved to the soldiers, then pulled the 5th company and rushed up.

Although the soldiers didn't know what I was going to do, maybe they had experience in combat and were a little more courageous. They all followed me to the bombing place where the shells were bombed without hesitation.

The explosions were getting louder and louder, and even several shells had fallen by our side, but I still led the soldiers to continue rushing forward until I felt the danger was happening before raising my hand to signal the soldiers to stop.

I gestured to them: "The third row is detouring to the right! The first row is detouring to the left with me! Be careful of landmines!"

The soldiers nodded and immediately divided into two teams and went into the forest on the left and right sides of the path.

In fact, at this time, being careful about landmines can be said to be nonsense, because we must reach our destination before the enemy's bombardment is over, otherwise the fate of the soldiers left to the main force will be killed or captured.

If we had to arrive at the destination in such a short time, we had no time to pay attention to whether there were mines along the way. However, perhaps the Vietnamese army thought that they had already controlled this area with artillery fire, so they did not add mines, which allowed us to smoothly bypass the artillery fire area and lurk in the bamboo forests on both sides of the road.

I have to admit that the terrain chosen by the Vietnamese army is very good! Our main force just turned a corner along the path and entered a relatively open field. There will be no hidden artillery fire here, and the mud in the fields will also prevent the soldiers from scattering and retreating. Many soldiers fell in pieces under the enemy's artillery fire because they could not run away quickly in the fields.

A few minutes later, the sound of cannon finally stopped. What was revealed in front of us was a hell on earth: blood was everywhere, corpses and incomplete human organs, some soldiers were hung on trees, some soldiers were poured into sewage, and some soldiers were cut off their heads by shrapnel, and blood was rumbling out of their necks, but they were still holding submachine guns in their hands and pointed at the front...

What made people feel even more cruel and terrifying is that a soldier who seemed to have no injuries was holding a big tree tightly beside the road, shouting randomly: "Oh my god... wow..." He was obviously scared to be unable to control himself.

Fortunately, some of the soldiers crawled out of the dead and slowly gathered together and retreated.

"No one is allowed to go down to rescue the wounded!" I pulled out the intercom and ordered in a low voice: "Be careful, keep calm and keep breathing! Listen to my orders and fire again!"

"yes!"

...

After a long time, the answers from several people from my hometown came from the walkie-talkie, accompanied by some clattering sounds of teeth.

More and more soldiers were getting up from the ground, and a considerable number of them were stunned by artillery shells. After all, it was difficult to completely blow up a unit with artillery shells in the valley between these two mountains. Even if the Vietnamese army adjusted the orders in advance, the ridges or trees would block some of the artillery shells.

So, if the Vietnamese army is ruthless enough, if they want to expand the results of the war, I believe they will definitely have a chance.

But when I raised the telescope and looked in the other direction, I found nothing, neither half of the Vietnamese army nor any traces of the Vietnamese army hidden. Could it be that the Vietnamese army really had no explanation after just a bombardment?

Just as I was doubting my judgment, a strange sound suddenly came from my body. In a valley not far from my sight, there was a tunnel entrance. The Vietnamese soldiers wearing straw hats and holding ak47 came out of the tunnel entrance like a long snake...

This scene scared me, and I quickly shrank my head, and cursed in my heart: "Mom! These guys were hiding under our noses. I think there may be more than one tunnel nearby. It is really a good idea. Using the tunnel can prevent cannons and shorten the attack distance. If I hadn't had this trick, our team would have been in danger of this trip.

"Be careful with all units!" I whispered to the intercom: "Recognize the Vietnamese radio station and walkie-talkie, and you must not let one go."

"yes!"

The reason for identifying radio stations and walkie-talkies is that I am worried that the Vietnamese army will call for artillery bombing again. The forces of our company are not too much, but we can't stand another bombing anyway. I dare not place my hope on the Vietnamese artillery without artillery shells.

The Vietnamese army drilled out of the tunnel one after another, and there were two companies with troops. Using two companies to deal with our regiment? Isn’t it too arrogant? But when I thought about it, I quickly realized that this was not because they were arrogant, but because they lacked military strength.

In this counterattack against Vietnam, our army used 10 armies to 270,000 troops to 9 combat divisions of the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army not only had many important cities to defend, but also had 200,000 troops deep in Cambodia and could not retreat. What made the Vietnamese army even more embarrassed was that the Vietnamese capital Hanoi was not far from the Sino-Vietnam border. This made the Vietnamese army defend everywhere. As long as there was a gap, our army was likely to approach its capital.

Perhaps our army saw this, so it was divided into more than a dozen routes to advance at the same time as the battle started, forcing the Vietnamese army to defend a front line of more than a thousand kilometers with a very limited force.

So, the scene I saw was the scene. The forces of the two companies wanted to eat a regiment of our army... Even if they had artillery bombardment in advance, even if their combat quality was higher than that of our army, it felt like a snake swallowing an elephant.

I have to admit that if the Vietnamese army had more troops, it is very likely that my company would not be able to stop their attack, and the main force of our regiment who was bombarded would still be severely damaged. But the situation is completely different now!

The Vietnamese troops passed by us one by one with guns, and we could even see the hat badges on their straw hat-shaped helmets. But I did not order the gun because I knew very well that once they had the opportunity to retract back into the tunnel, they could still call for artillery fire. Just like when we were in Shangganling, we could also call for artillery fire to bomb the enemies above our heads when we were hiding in the tunnel.

Therefore, if you want to avoid this scene, you must first destroy their radio stations and walkie-talkies, and cut off their contact with other troops. The second is to trap them tightly in this area and let the Vietnamese artillery throw themselves at the rat and avoid weapons.
