Chapter 120 Vietnamese people

Chapter 120 Vietnamese people

I did not dare to neglect the orders of Commander Wang, and immediately ordered a few soldiers to take the commander of the Vietnam Army along the hole in the wall.

The instructor also quarreled with me for a while because of this. He thought that the captives of the Yue Legion Commander were very important, and his superiors attached great importance to it. At the same time, being able to capture the senior commander of the Yue Army also said that it was also an honor for our army. So he hoped that I would not be so hasty and should send more people to send them down. He even said that the commander of the Yue Legion was stuffed into the tank and transported back...

But I feel that there is no need at all. Our purpose is to transport these prisoners of war back, right? If there are too many people, it will attract the attention of the Vietnamese army. If it is sent to escort the tank, it will be even more telling the Vietnamese army - we have important people here, you can attack them!

By the way, we went up the streets a few kilometers. Although we had divided several teams to protect our logistics supply lines and ensure the connection between our army and the rear troops, the defense would become weak once the troops were dispersed. So I did not do as the instructor wished, but simply asked the commander of the Vietnam Army and his staff to change into the uniforms of the PLA soldiers, and then let Yang Songjian take them down easily with the five soldiers.

Facts also proved that my approach was right! Yang Songjian's report was soon heard from the walkie-talkie. They had successfully handed over the prisoners to the division headquarters and planned to bring the militia team carrying ammunition to meet with us.

Look! Some things should not be so complicated, and they can be solved simply. Just like a story I have heard, it seems that someone wants to transport the world's largest diamond from Africa to the UK, and some people have also thought of using military warships to escort... As a result, no one could have thought that the diamond was transported for only a few pennies and then mailed back safely!

"Build fortifications!" As soon as I cleaned the battlefield, I passed the order without stopping.

The soldiers responded and began to build trenches and tank trenches around the city government building.

Although the municipal government building is a reinforced concrete structure and is relatively sturdy, I cannot throw all the troops of a battalion into the first floor. If this is the case, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army will be surrounded by groups or end the battle with long-range artillery fire. So I asked the soldiers to build mutually connected trenches with the municipal government as the center and other buildings as the basis.

With the experience of fighting last time, I asked the soldiers to try to occupy the taller buildings around the municipal government. They used these buildings as strongholds to build traffic trenches and passages to connect them together.

Compared with the high ground, a huge building does not seem to require many people to defend. Just like the last time our army attacked the Vietnamese supply and marketing building, if we really want to attack one by one, we don’t know when we will fight. But it is unquestionable that the Vietnamese army can also use our methods to use blasting methods to blow up the entire building after occupying the first floor.

So the urban combat mode was simply drawn in my mind. Higher buildings can be used as commanding heights, and firepower of mortars, machine guns and other firepower can be arranged on the roof to suppress the enemy's charge troops. A few more trenches are dug downstairs to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army on the front, and at the same time, it can prevent Vietnamese tanks and other troops from forcibly breaking into the first floor of the building for blasting. The firepower of the building is connected to the trenches downstairs and cover each other, and at the same time, each building is connected to each other to cover each other...

There are two suitable buildings around the municipal government, one is a five-story hotel. It is different next to the municipal government. In a country like Vietnam, there are hotels. The other is a three-story school. Although it is not high, the defense area is very long. The entire building from left to right is several hundred meters, which is very beneficial to the deployment of troops.

So I divided the 5th Company, 6th Company and 4th Company into these three buildings, forming a triangular defense situation. Each company then drew a platoon and Battalion Commander Wu's tank troops as reserve teams in the middle, ready to attack at any time.

Of course, whether this kind of defense can work still needs to be tested on the battlefield. As a battlefield where I came from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, I am not familiar with urban combat, and there is only so much that I can do.

I looked back at the five-star red flag on the roof of the city government building behind me, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Since the founding of our country, I have never seemed to have my own national flag on the land of other countries (the flag of the Volunteer Army during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was just a piece of red cloth), but I thought that this time it was done by me.

"Battery Commander!" At this time, Li Zhifu came to me, pointed at the people stranded in front of the municipal government square in a little embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "What should they do?"

The location of the municipal government is relatively important. It is located at the corner of the shape of the "t" shape, so as long as it can firmly guard it, it actually controls three streets. In other words, it controls the retreat route of the Vietnamese People's Army. It is precisely because of this that I asked the fifth company to garrison.

Although the Fifth Company's troops were all new recruits, they were all brought by me. I know them well and know that although they didn't participate in the war for a long time, they had targeted training before the war and fought with the Vietnamese army almost the entire time, so their combat experience and combat effectiveness were already in the lead at this time.

Just as the combat habits of the Volunteer Army are the most capable of fighting, which unit is placed in the most difficult and dangerous place, of course, I also put the Fifth Company in the most important city government.

"What should I do if there is anything?" I looked at the Vietnamese people and replied, "Isn't it okay to send them to the rear as prisoners?"

"But..." Li Zhifu hesitated and said, "They are the people, and according to our discipline, they cannot be regarded as prisoners! Besides... these people have at least five or hundreds of people. Can we send such a large team back?"

Thinking about it, I think what Li Zhifu said makes sense. If someone really wants to send him back, should he send a company or a platoon to send them back? There are more people sent... our troops are not enough; if there are fewer people sent, how can such a large team not attract the attention of the Japanese devils? What's more... how can they report to their superiors after being sent to the rear? Captives? Five or six hundred civilian prisoners?

"Then let them go!" I said.

"I said it, but they refused to leave!" Li Zhifu replied.

"I refuse to leave? Why don't I leave?" I was a little surprised.

"They may be afraid that we will shoot in the back!"

"It's outrageous!" I became a little angry when I heard it: "If we want to shoot, why do we need to play this trick? You can shoot at them too!"

"That's it!" Li Zhifu said with a deep sense of the same feeling: "But they are just afraid! This person will not work if he is afraid of his head. It's better for him to talk to them!"

"Get it out..." I shouted helplessly at the soldiers: "Hu Shaowen!"

"Come!" Hu Shaowen, who was digging a trench, climbed out of the trench in a few strokes and ran quickly to me.

At this time, I was always busy commanding the troops to fight. I haven't seen this little soldier for a long time. When I saw him, I felt like he had changed his body, with a little more mature and firm face, and my eyes were very brave enough to meet my eyes. I was no longer the little ghost who was so scared that his face turned pale at any time.

I couldn't help but pat his shoulder and said, "Come with me!"

"Yes!" Hu Shaowen responded, leaned his submachine gun on his back, and followed closely behind me.

He brought Hu Shaowen to the Vietnamese people, glanced at them, who were both blood and mud, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Friends! Our Chinese People's Liberation Army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Don't worry, you are not soldiers and have no weapons in your hands. We will not make things difficult for you. You can leave and go wherever you are safe..."

As I said, Hu Shaowen translated my words to the common people. But before I could finish speaking, an old man stood up and replied in stiff Chinese: "Comrades in the People's Liberation Army, we know that Chairman Mao's army was preferential to prisoners (there was a period of comrades and brothers in China and Vietnam, so the Vietnamese people also had a certain understanding of our army's policies). They knew that you would not kill us, but where can we go? Lang San was surrounded by you and returned to his own troops... You saw it, they just shot us with guns..."

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this. The old man was right. For them, Lang San was really no safe place. If you can't go out, continue to hide in the houses. Sooner or later, you will be occupied by our army and return to their own troops. I am afraid that the Vietnamese army will use them as a shield again. Even if they are not used as a shield by the Vietnamese army, these Vietnamese people are very clear that the defeat of the Vietnamese army is only a matter of time. In the end, they will still turn a big circle and return to our hands...

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army!" Then the old man spoke again: "Please, let us be prisoners! We haven't eaten anything for a long time. Just think of us as soldiers and we are prisoners..."

The Vietnamese people around them also started to scream, as if they wanted to be our prisoners. Seeing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly: I don't know if I was someone else's prisoner. If I were my prisoner... it would not be as favorable as they thought!

But if it is a real civilian, I really can't do it...

I couldn't help but feel a headache about this. There is a reason why they wouldn't leave in this world, but they seemed to have a reason to refuse.

"Battery Commander!" At this time, the instructor came up at some point.

When I saw him, it was like I saw a savior. Isn’t the instructor just in charge of political education? This question was just right for him!

So he dragged him up: "You are here just right! You can solve these problems of the Vietnamese people! Do ideological work for them and let them leave!"

"No problem!" The instructor thought that this was not simple, so he agreed immediately.

"Hu Shaowen!"

"arrive!"

"Make a translation for the instructor!" I ordered: "But translate the meaning accurately to me!"

"Yes!" Hu Shaowen agreed with a little difficulty, because he was a border citizen and was unfamiliar with the slogan words of the instructors.

But I couldn't care about that much. I ran away as if I had a slam. The instructor chased after him and shouted: "Battery Commander... Platoon Commander Yang and others are back with ammunition. Let you go and see!"

This is a good thing. At this time, what I worry about the most is the ammunition issue. By the way, through the walls and holes were made along the way, and our ammunition was almost exhausted. Moreover, our army has moved into defense and needs more ammunition to support it.

He walked back to the city government in a hurry and saw the militia soldiers lifting bullets and shells in boxes one by one. When Yang Songjian and others saw me, they immediately pulled a militia forward and reported: "Battery Commander! This is the militia captain Xu Yong, he brought us ammunition..."

"Hello, Battalion Commander Cui!" Before Yang Songjian finished speaking, Xu Yong took the lead and grabbed my hand and smiled happily: "Captain Cui! We heard from behind that you have won a great victory and defeated the Japanese municipal government! He also captured a regiment commander and chief of staff alive. We all want to come and have a look! But none of them could steal me, so I was fighting for it!"

"Well!" I really didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and it had already caused a sensation in the rear.

But this seems normal. It is not much to occupy an ordinary place, but now it is the Lang Son Municipal Government, which is undoubtedly of great political significance.

"Don't worry, Captain Cui!" Then Xu Yong held my hand and said, "As long as the ammunition and supplies you requested, we will overcome them no matter how big the difficulties we have, and will send them on time!"

"That's so thank you!" I answered hurriedly.

I know very well how important Xu Yong's words are to our army. If they can really do this, it means that our army will no longer have logistical worries. Otherwise, they will just talk about this and that difficulty on the road, and this battle will be hard.

Not to mention that the troops transporting ammunition will not argue, anything can happen in this era, especially in this war era. I once saw two soldiers kneeling on the battlefield, crying and crying one by one. After asking... I found out that one of the soldiers' platoon leaders was injured but the first aid kit was used up, so I asked the other soldier. It happened that the other soldier was from other companies. According to the discipline of their troops, the first aid kit can only be used for the wounded in their own company, otherwise they would make mistakes and be punished. So the soldier who was eager to help his life knelt on the ground and cried and begged. The soldier who did not dare to make mistakes also knelt on the ground and cried and said that he did not dare to violate the discipline...

What the hell is this?

I kicked the soldier who did not dare to make mistakes to the ground, and snatched the first aid kit and threw it to another soldier! Before leaving, I said to the kicked soldier: "I snatched your first aid kit, so you didn't make any mistakes!"

This is all off-topic. I took a list of ammunitions handed to me by Yang Songjian. I saw it said that it was 100,000 submachine gun bullets, 30,000 machine gun bullets, and 10,000 heavy machine gun bullets... Then there were rockets, recoil-free shells, mortar shells...

Although this seems to be a lot, I know that this is just a battalion and a base of ammunition. If it really starts, it will be gone after being pressed into the submachine gun. But when I think that the ammunition will continue to be transported from the rear, I feel a little relieved.

"Battery Commander! Battalion Commander..." At this time, the instructor hurriedly ran in and said with a blushing face: "I, I can't complete the mission. Those Vietnamese Japanese... are wrong! It's Vietnamese people, they refuse to leave..."

Tell... I couldn't help but feel bored when I heard this. I thought this instructor had three heads and six arms! I didn't expect that the ending would be the same as me.

"Battery Commander!" The militia captain came up with some confusion and asked, "Can I help me?"

"Um?" I couldn't help but be stunned. Yes! Isn't there a ready-made person in front of me? Why didn't I know how to use it?

"How many of you have?" I asked.

"There are more than 300 people!" Xu Yong replied.

"Can you escort a group of prisoners back?" I gave a simple explanation: "They are all Vietnamese people. If they let them go, they will not leave, and they will be our prisoners. How do you think they are here to fight!"

"There is such a thing!" Xu Yong became excited as soon as he heard it: "Captain Cui, this has a great positive effect on us! Think about it, the Vietnamese people would rather be our prisoners than leave. Doesn't this just mean that our army is what people want! This is a good thing! And it's a great thing!"

"Well!" After Xu Yong said this, I realized: It's true that if this matter was promoted in newspapers or internationally, how much impact would it have! Although this is not what it seems, most of the Vietnamese people do this for the sake of survival, not because of what people want. But who would still check these...

"That's right!" The instructor quickly nodded in agreement: "We must send all these people back! And we must vigorously promote it!"

"That's right!" Xu Yong took over this glorious task without hesitation, and said: "We will definitely complete this task and report good news to you after we go back..."

When the militia captain escorted the Vietnamese people out of our sight, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, I said intimately that our soldiers' political minds were actually not as good as those of the militia captain.
Chapter completed!
