Chapter 37: The Battle of Tongdeng (Seventh)

The battle to attack a certain defense group ends before dawn.

After the entire battle, there were only six Vietnamese prisoners captured. Maybe the other soldiers didn't think it was anything, but this was unimaginable for me, a veteran who had fought the Korean War for three years.

At the beginning, even if the Turkish brigade was surrounded by us and there were dozens of prisoners. Not to mention the other puppet troops or the joint *** troops, there were so many prisoners that we could not afford to support them, and most of them were released after being disarmed. But now, the number of enemies captured in this battle is only a single digit...

Although there is also the factor that our army was so angry that they didn't want to capture prisoners, it is undeniable that the Vietnamese army's resistance was very tenacious, and they almost fought to the end.

We are fighting to death, and they are fighting to death too!

Some people may say that this is not the case on the battlefield. It is true that you have to fight to the death, but more often, when one side fights to the death, the other side’s momentum will be suppressed and retreat. To put it bluntly, this is running away, to put it bluntly, it is avoiding its sharpness.

Just like on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, our side often had a desperate fight at the beginning, but the United Nations was frightened and retreated, and then switched to long-range artillery or aircraft bombing. Using aircraft with cannons, they did not dare to fight us face to face!

But now, both sides of the enemy and us are fighting for fear of their lives, and everyone is fighting desperately, and no one can suppress anyone... So they fight unprecedentedly!

I can understand that the Vietnamese army can fight, after all, they are experienced people who have fought for decades. However, our army can fight in this way, which is beyond my expectations.

To be honest, from the beginning of this battle, I had no confidence in my troops. I was not trained enough, my tactics were outdated, my equipment was backward, my command was chaotic... nothing could satisfy me. It can even be said that except for some modern equipment, nothing could compare to the volunteer army during the Korean War.

However, after seeing the Ma Zhanfu soldier sacrificed his life to blow up the enemy's bunker last night, I seemed to have found confidence in them again and saw the shadow of the volunteer soldiers in them!

This reminds me of my comrades who lived and died together, of Commander Pang, who has always trusted me well, of my cold gun troops, and of Lin Xue, Jin Qiulian...

Are they okay now? I don’t know where they are now! Are they dead or on another battlefield? Or are they already living a carefree life in China?

A breeze blew, making me feel cold on my cheeks, and then I realized that my face was covered with tears.

He quietly wiped away the tears and turned his eyes to both sides of the trench. The soldiers were all busy with their own affairs. Some were wiping guns, some were bandaging wounds, and some were holding guns and staring at the void ahead, not knowing what they were thinking. And instructor Xie took out a small notebook as usual and wrote something on his knees...

"Instructor, what are you writing?" Alziri couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! Instructor!" Shunzi also loved the fun, so he came up and shouted, "We are the world with guns. Instructors have both poles and pens. Let's tell us what they wrote?"

"I didn't write anything!" Director Xie blushed and replied embarrassedly: "Just write a few words to play with, and you guys are busy!"

"I will tell you where..." The deputy company commander smiled: "Sir Xie is a cultural person. Do you know what he wrote about poetry?"

"Writing poetry!" After hearing what the deputy company commander said, the soldiers became even more excited and surrounded him with a whistle: "Instructor, read it for us! What poem did you write?"

"Go and go...it's fun to write!"

"Instructor!" I also felt a little excited and interrupted, "Just read it for comrades! If you are embarrassed, let me read it!"

As he said that, he didn't care whether the instructor agreed or not, he snatched the diary and started reading it in front of the moonlight...

"On your birthday, you sacrificed..."

After reading this sentence, I was stunned. The soldiers who had been joking with me also calmed down.

After a while of silence, I continued to read:

“It’s your birthday on the day you sacrificed.

On your birthday you wiped out three enemies

On the day you sacrifice, a victory is born

then--

The day you were born became the day you died

The days of your death become the days of your eternal life.”

After reading a short poem, the soldiers were speechless and all bowed their heads silently.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's Li Chengshan!" Instructor Xie replied: "My fellow villager, today is his birthday!"

I don’t know who led the lead, but the happy birthday song was hummed gently on the trenches. With the repeated "Happy Birthday" over and over again, the entire high ground was filled with a sad atmosphere of sanctuation. Several soldiers couldn’t help crying in a low voice, and a feeling of nostalgia gradually climbed up the soldiers’ brows.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The next morning, our company received an order to search for the remaining enemies. The soldiers prepared to bring some dry food and set off on their way.

Actually, I know very well that it is to search for the remaining enemies, but what we are really looking for is the special forces of the Vietnamese army. Between the three defense groups of Tanlong and Guitun Fort, there is a vacuum area for the defense of the Vietnamese army. This area does not seem to have regular troops of the Vietnamese army, but in fact there are countless Vietnamese special forces hidden in those villages. Especially Tongdeng Town, Tongdeng Town is the main passage between China and Vietnam, and directly leads to Lang Son by railways and highways, which can be said to be the gate of Lang Son. Tanmou, Tanlong and Guitun, the triangular defense group, is actually to guard the traffic center of Tongdeng. Therefore, if Tongdeng does not have the special forces of the Vietnamese army, no one would believe it.

And we, this time, will search together.

To be honest, I would rather fight a fierce battle than a search mission. Because the search mission is an invisible battle. Those Vietnamese agents are very cunning. When we turn around and don’t pay attention, they are soldiers holding guns. When we start organizing the search, they put down the guns and are ordinary people, especially the elderly, women and children.

Children are better and cannot play any role in the battlefield. But the elderly and women... don't underestimate the elderly and women in Vietnam. According to the Vietnamese military service system, all of them have been the old bones of soldiers for 40 or 50 years, and their combat experience is richer than mine. Just like the old Vietnamese man we saw in a village the night before yesterday, he hid in a firewood pile and used a rocket launcher to fight one of our tanks and a young and strong soldier. They are very clear about the weaknesses of various weapons and equipment, and at the same time they are also very clear about what methods and tactics to attack our weaknesses.

As for women, women are born weak and pitiful, especially beautiful women, especially those who have not seen women in recent months... There is a saying in the army, "A sow is a soldier for three years, and the sow is as beautiful as Diao Chan." Moreover, all Vietnamese women are as beautiful as fairies, and they don't wear clothes at all times. Seeing their pitiful looks, can you do it?

I can! I can really do it!

"Company Commander!" We drove along the highway towards Tongdeng Town. Yang Songjian, who was reconnaissance in front, reported on the walkie-talkie: "Two private houses are found, please ask for instructions!"

"Let me do it!" I ordered.

It’s not that I don’t trust Yang Songjian’s reconnaissance ability, but that I’m worried that they will be fooled like the soldiers of the Ninth Company. Those who have not really experienced these things have no idea of ​​the cunning of the enemy agents. Just like during the Korean War, puppet army agents could also welcome us into the house with a smile on one side, but on the other side, they were talking in Korean how many volunteer soldiers they had killed today...

He took a few soldiers and kicked the wooden door of the hut with one foot. A woman's scream came from inside. When Ding Qing saw that it was a Vietnamese woman wearing common people's clothes changing clothes, her upper body was naked. The sealing properties of Vietnamese houses were not very good. The sunlight penetrated through the gap between the bamboos, which shone on the two ru rooms on the chest of the Vietnamese woman, which was particularly dazzling.

The warrior's face turned red and he turned his face like a conditioned reflex. However, only Shunzi stared at him with his eyes curled up, and his mouth was half open and he was about to drain the water. I couldn't help but curse inwardly, but I couldn't tell that Shunzi was still a little pervert.

I looked at the Vietnamese woman, sneered in my heart, and said to Hu Shaowen: "Tell her, stay in the house and don't run around!"

"Yes!" Hu Shaowen nodded and quickly passed on my words to the Vietnamese woman.

The Vietnamese woman kept nodding and said to us gratefully: "Tu, Thu... Kabeng is afraid! (Okay, OK, thank you!)"

But just when she was talking to Hu Shaowen, I had quietly opened Tokarev's secret buckle on my waist. This is the trouble of Tokarev's pistol. The secret buckle is from top to bottom. Before pulling out the gun, there must be a move to lift the secret buckle. It is not like m1911, when you insert your hand down and then pull it up, you can use the gun with just one action.

If this is really like the Western Cowboys in the movie, the number of people equipped with Tokarev pistols will have to die!

"Let's go!" After Hu Shaowen finished speaking, I waved at the soldiers with a relaxed look. The soldiers turned around, but only Shunzi seemed to be a little reluctant to leave.

As soon as I turned around, I found a slightly unpredictable smile on the corner of the Vietnamese woman's mouth. I knew what she was laughing at, she was laughing at us as a group of stupid soldiers. But she smiled too early...

I just turned around and immediately pulled out my pistol and turned it back and shot her head with a "bang"! The Vietnamese woman looked shocked, and screamed in a hurry and fell straight to the ground.

"Company Commander! Company Commander..."

The soldiers were all shocked by my shot, and took it back in a few steps, looking at the Vietnamese woman who had a bullet hole in her eyebrows on the ground, and then looking at me, all of her eyes were full of doubts and confusion.

"Company Commander, are you doing it..." Shunzi felt a little sympathetic.

I replied coldly: "Look at what she is holding in her hand? Be careful!"

"Clothes!" Shunzi walked forward with some confusion, flipped the clothes on the Vietnamese woman's hand, then shivered, and then spat hard: "Damn, I've really been deceived by this girl!"

When the soldiers looked into the Vietnamese woman's hand, they all understood that there was a grenade under the clothes, and it was an anti-tank grenade, which was the kind that triggered and could blow out a hole in the light tank. If she really succeeded, I'm afraid that none of us, seven or eight, could go back alive.

This Vietnamese woman... might be called a Vietnamese female agent! She is indeed very smart and knows how to use triggered anti-tank grenades. This grenade will explode as soon as it hits, so we have no chance to avoid it. She also knows how to use the move of changing clothes, first confusing our eyes with her body, and then blocking the grenades in her hands with clothes... She is even very good at acting because of her pitiful look, she has successfully deceived all the soldiers.

but……

She still ignored one thing. If she was an ordinary person, if she was really changing clothes, then the moment we rushed into the room, she should instinctively use clothes or hands to block her vital parts, rather than boldly erecting her chest for fear that we would not be able to see it!

The facts also proved that I was right. After all, she didn't rush to pull off the security seal of the anti-tank grenade.

"Let me listen!" I opened the door wide and said to the soldiers outside the house: "On the battlefield, there are only friends and enemies, no elderly, children, and no women. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the soldiers answered loudly.

The troops set off again, but this time, the soldiers held the guns tighter and seemed to feel like they were on the battlefield. This shows that the soldiers all had enough knowledge and attention to this matter, and this - what I wanted.

Nine out of ten households in Tongdeng Town were empty, and most of the people fled to Hanoi before the war started. So we walked on the street for a long time but didn't see a single person. Only a few wild dogs hid in the alley barking, and there was a desolate scene everywhere.

Although there are few people, the soldiers still searched meticulously from door to door. They were better than me and were not as savage as I did when I entered the door.

Of course, they wouldn't knock on the door and ask the owner if he is at home or if he can go in and search... If this is the case, then the owner will ask us if there is a search warrant, and then it will be difficult for us to deal with it!

This happened when the Nine Company searched before. The Vietnamese army was prepared for us to break into the door. They often arranged a small mechanism or tripping mine behind the door. If they kicked, they would probably be dragged out. So, under my order, the soldiers used grenades to knock on the door! This is also the reason why we didn't bring much to carry anything when we set off this time, but carried dozens of boxes of grenades...

Not to mention, this method really works. At least one-third of the doors of these private houses are hidden. Of course, this does not rule out that some of the organs were set up by Vietnamese people because they were worried that someone would break into the door, but I think most of them were traps set up by the Vietnamese military special forces.

After searching for more than ten minutes, a soldier brought four old men and two women to me.

"Search!" I coldly threw out a few words: "Search it carefully for me!"

Because no one knows these Vietnamese, we cannot tell whether they are people or soldiers, so we can only measure whether they carry weapons.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and searched the old men without saying a word, but no one dared to take action on the two women.

"What are you doing?" I asked to the two soldiers standing behind the Vietnamese woman, "Don't you take action?"

"Yes!" As I stared at me, the two soldiers then leaned their rifles behind their backs, and then started to fight tremblingly. But I was helpless to find that they didn't dare to touch the key parts of Vietnamese women...

Can this also be called body search? I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and as I expected, nothing was found. Those old men were so smart that they knew we would be body searching, so even agents would not bring weapons to them. And those women...

"All searches have been completed?" I asked.

"Report to the company commander! The search is over!" The soldiers responded. The two soldiers who searched for Vietnamese women were still blushed, and their eyes were so nervous that they didn't dare to look at the two Vietnamese women.

I didn't speak, and walked to a relatively obese Vietnamese woman in just a few steps. Before she could react, my hand had already reached into her collar.

With a scream, the Vietnamese woman struggled desperately with her hands protecting her chest. She shouted desperately: "Du...go to the fuck..." (Vietnamese: No, help!) She looked like a good woman who could not bear the humiliation!

The soldiers also looked at me with an incredible look. They seemed to be unable to believe that I would do this, and there were even several soldiers who wanted to snatch me up and stop me...

But when I took the lead, the soldiers all understood that there was a micro pistol on my hand!

"What is this?" I threw my pistol in front of the two soldiers who were searching for me, and said fiercely: "Search it again, search for me carefully in every place, or you can get out of my company! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The two soldiers responded and hurriedly searched the two Vietnamese women again. Sure enough, another pistol was found...
