Chapter 161 Going home for us

Soon all kinds of artillery gathered, including mortars, recoilless cannons and bazooka launchers. In short, all the things that can be found in the battalion that can also fire shells were concentrated. Although the range of direct-aid cannons such as bazooka launchers and recoilless cannons is not far away, our advantage is that they are condescending, and this time it does not seem to require accuracy. We only need to be able to hit these shells over the forest there.

The soldiers were also ready, and they all prepared their luggage, brought dry food and bullets, and their rifles were also bayonets to fight against the Vietnamese army.

But I never ordered the fire, because I knew that if we rushed like this, the strategic intention would be too obvious. We used all the artillery fire to blast into the forest. As long as the Vietnamese army is not a fool, I think we will break through the forest. So even if we can successfully blow up the Vietnamese army hiding in the forest, the other Vietnamese army will soon gather in the forest to block the gap.

So I was waiting for an opportunity to wait for the moment when the Vietnamese army charged us again.

I need the gunshots and cannons at that time, and the Vietnamese army has also rushed out of its position, and the Vietnamese army is also very concerned about taking down the high ground of our army. Even if there is no one in this high ground at that time... But by the way, it would be even better if there were still people guarding this high ground. It would not only delay the Vietnamese army's strategic intentions, but also dispersing the Vietnamese army's forces to hold them to pursue the main force of our army...

But I considered one thing, that is, the troops that stayed obviously would not have any hope of survival, so I don’t know how to speak, and I am even more reluctant to make a choice among the troops! Because each of them is my comrades-in-arms, and everyone is my brother who shares life and death. I don’t want to leave them here to wait for death!

"Report to the battalion commander!" At this time, Xu Yongjian limped in front of me with a wounded leg. His leg was hit by a stray bullet. It was nothing if he didn't hurt the bones and his bloodlines were broken, but the bullet was still inside and he didn't have to be taken out... In order to be able to join the battle in time, he just got some wounded medicinal bandages and just got it done.

After walking a few steps, he made his face so painful that his veins stutter, but he still held back his pretended nothing and said, "Battery Commander! I think your breakthrough plan is a little inappropriate..."

"No need to say you!" As soon as I heard Xu Yongjian's words, I understood what he wanted to say, and immediately refused, "I know if it's right!"

"No, battalion commander!" Xu Yongjian raised his chest and said, "I must say that there is no discipline in our army that does not make people talk! I have only heard that if there is anything wrong with the superior, we may also make suggestions when we are subordinates!"

"Hey!" Xu Yongjian's words made Li Zhifu a little unhappy. He raised his head and said to Xu Yongjian: "I said, 4th Company Commander, have you taken the wrong medicine or what? Talking to our battalion commander like this?"

Xu Yongjian's face turned red and he glanced at me with some guilt, but he still bit him and continued, "No matter what! I just have something to say..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Get ready for battle!" I interrupted Xu Yongjian's words with a rifle and was about to walk away.

But unexpectedly, Xu Yongjian still refused to give up. He grabbed me in a few steps and stopped me and said, "Battery Commander, these may be my last few words. Can't you listen to my thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that I had acquiesced, Xu Yongjian showed a hint of joy on his face, and turned to the soldiers around and said, "Comrades! This is my idea. The battalion commander wants to take all of us away, but it is obvious that this is impossible! Look at my leg..."

Xu Yongjian said as he lit up his injured leg and continued, "We are all people who rolled down with the battalion commander on the battlefield. They all know that the speed of breaking through is the key, but if you bring the wounded to break through, can you still have speed? Can you successfully break through?"

When Xu Yongjian said this, the soldiers almost understood what he meant and thoughts, and all his faces showed a sad look.

Then Xu Yongjian turned to me again and said, "So in order not to drag the troops down, and to ensure that the troops can break through smoothly and not sacrifice all of them here, on behalf of all the wounded soldiers with limited mobility, I asked the battalion commander to let us stay! I have already talked with the wounded just now. There are at least two benefits for us to stay, one is to attract the enemy's attention, and the other is to drag their main force..."

"Stop talking!" The hometown person interrupted Xu Yongjian and said, "We will not leave you alone. If we die, we will die together!"

"Yes!" Li Zhifu and other soldiers also replied: "If you want to die, let's die together, let's go together!"

"Battery Commander..." Xu Yongjian could only turn his eyes to me in the end. The look couldn't tell what it was, there were begging, touching, and other things. I couldn't tell because it was too complex and changed too quickly.

"I agree!" I nodded with difficulty, gritted my teeth and said, "You guys stay and take on the cover mission!"

"Yes!" Xu Yongjian stood up at me with joy on his face.

However, the other soldiers refused to agree and snatched me in front of me and said, "Battery Commander, we can't leave them alone like this!"

"Yes! Wasn't that leaving them behind and waiting for death?"

...

"Stop talking!" I replied coldly: "Execute the order!"

After a pause, he said again: "There is not much time left, be ready for battle... Say goodbye to the soldiers!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded helplessly, walked up one by one to hold hands and hug each other with the wounded soldiers.

"Brother, take care of yourself!"

"Comrade, see you!"

"Farewell forever!"

...

There were 27 wounded soldiers with limited mobility. This was the time for them to be sad, but the scene that appeared in front of me was completely the opposite. The wounded soldiers were very strong and said goodbye to the soldiers with a smile on their faces, while the soldiers were secretly wiping their tears...

I also walked up and shook hands with them one by one. Whenever I shook hands with a wounded soldier, I would look at their faces carefully. I wanted to remember their appearance and their smiles. One day when I came back to this incident, I would know who stood up at the last moment to serve as our strong backing.

"Woo..." The cannon sounded suddenly, so we knew that the Vietnamese army had begun to attack us again, and it was time for us to break through.

So I finally shook Xu Yongjian's hand, gritted my teeth and ordered: "Everyone has it! Be prepared for the battle!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and soon picked up all kinds of weapons and took their place.

Xu Yongjian and twenty-seven wounded soldiers soon spread out with the help of the soldiers to guard the south, west and north sides. The soldiers helped them to the fire point one by one, set up machine guns for them, and placed bullets, grenades, and explosive packs beside them. Some careful soldiers also picked up a few more submachine guns and placed them in their reach in case they needed them from time to time.

The twenty-seven soldiers were allocated on three sides and there were nine people on each side. Although the troops were relatively weak, they were either light machine guns or heavy machine guns, so the firepower was not weak, and the enemy could not rush up for a while.

At this time, we began to consider breaking through. Under my leadership, the soldiers all concentrated in the east. Because we were worried that the enemy would discover our intention to break through too early, we only arranged for more than a dozen soldiers to symbolically fire a few rows of bullets at the attacking Vietnamese army. The other soldiers were almost all in hand, either holding a rocket launcher or holding a coaxless cannon and aiming it at the bottom...

I hid behind a stone and poked out the telescope and looked down. There were not many people coming up on the Vietnamese side. Daqing only had one platoon of troops. I guess the others were hiding in the forest and waiting for the right time to attack! This would be the best. The more people they hid in the forest, the easier it would be for my plan to open the way with cannonballs.

Without further ado, it was dawn and we didn’t have much time. So I immediately ordered to the walkie-talkie: “Call!”

In an instant, various artillery fired sounded. With the unique "chubby" sound when the rocket launcher was launched, the rockets with long tails flew straight towards the forest like flying technology in the air. Then there was a loud bang...

As expected, as I thought, whether it was rockets, cosmos shells or mortar shells, when they hit the dense forest, they collided with branches and burst out immediately. With the flames and smoke, the shells exploded everywhere. In an instant, shrapnel, branches, and wooden blocks were mixed together and flew around like sharp arrows. Occasionally, a few incendiary bombs mixed in, and the flames were even more like fireworks.

In fact, I did not let the soldiers fire incendiary bombs because I was worried that the fire of the incendiary bomb would block our own retreat. It was because the soldiers didn't see clearly in the dark that they mixed the incendiary bombs inside.

However, it seems that the effect of this incendiary bomb is pretty good now, because those fire heads did not completely block our retreat. As long as we can rush over in time, the ignited fire heads may even block the Vietnamese army behind.

"There are all!" Thinking of this, I ordered to the soldiers: "Don't turn back, just move forward! Go..."

"Run!" The soldiers threw away the cannons as fast as possible, picked up the rifles and rushed down the incline.
