Chapter 207: The White Flag and the Red Flag
At the moment when the flame of the thermobaric bomb rose in front of the fire point of the fortification, the radio intercom next to Li Yongming eagerly sent out a call of "Regiment Commander! Regiment Commander!", but Li Yongming had no time to reply, because the huge flames and powerful pressure of the thermobaric bomb had already rolled towards him like Mount Tai.
When he was subjected to the blazing flames and the raging shock wave, he didn't even have time to scream, but the residual consciousness made him feel a deep remorse, regretting that he did not listen to Ruan Chongming's words at the beginning, and even more regretting that he underestimated the wisdom of the Chinese, but it was too late to say anything now
As the mushroom clouds shining with dazzling red light rose, the Vietnamese troops in the anticline fortifications were swept away, and the violent shock wave extended rapidly along the walls of the fortifications, reaching an inward killing range of 25 to 30 meters, and even at a distance of 40 to 50 meters, there was still considerable destructive power.
This made the Vietnamese troops in the anti-slope fortifications die in a large area, and at the same time, many Vietnamese troops in the depths of the fortifications were knocked down by the shock wave, and the casualties were so heavy that the Vietnamese troops in the fortifications couldn't believe everything in front of them.
Just a few explosions reimbursed all the Vietnamese troops in the entire anticline fortifications, and the depth of the impact reached forty or fifty meters, so that the strong fortifications that cost a huge amount of money and were pinned on by the Vietnamese army were no longer a safe harbor as the officers said, but completely became a living coffin for everyone!
"I don't want to die!" I don't know when, a relieved Vietnamese soldier suddenly howled and cried: "I still have disabled parents at home. I don't want to die here, woo~~~"
"My wife and children are still waiting for me at home, and I can't die!"
"Me too~"
"And me!"
It was originally based on strong tunnel fortifications. The morale of the Vietnamese army is still strong, and it is considered hard to fight, but the last layer of fig leaf that the Vietnamese army relies on to cover their bodies and hold on to it is almost ruthlessly torn off, facing the unpredictable breath of death that is coming at any time, as well as the tunnel fortifications that have no sense of security at all. The morale of the Vietnamese army was completely broken, especially the new recruits who had just joined the army. They hugged each other and cried so much.
Although the political cadres of the Vietnamese army in the position tried their best, their mouths were about to wear out, but they still did nothing because they were faced with ironclad facts. The empty words and seemingly loud slogans of these Vietnamese military political cadres are like a sentence of ironic black humor, which makes the Vietnamese troops in the position not only not feel a trace of boost, but feel that they are more like clowns dancing!
In fact, these political cadres of the Vietnamese army are just doing their official business, seeing this tragic scene, the hearts of these political cadres are actually the same as the thoughts of the Vietnamese army at the bottom, and they do not want to escape here as soon as possible, even if they surrender, because no one wants to die in such an unknown way
"Captain Ruan! There are no people in the anticline fortifications right now, but judging from the strong impact. The people inside are estimated to have "In the infirmary in the middle of the Faka Mountain position, Nguyen Chong Minh, who was originally restricted from freedom, has taken over the command of the position and is now listening to a report from a staff officer. It's just that when this staff officer talked about the anticline position, both his face and tone were extremely depressed and helpless, so that he couldn't continue his words, but this staff officer still collected his mind as soon as possible and continued to report:
"Due to the situation with the anti-slope fortifications, now the morale of the soldiers in the positions is low. The fear of war and war weariness had spread, and even the soldiers of the main position had been affected. The combat intensity is not as strong as before, so we also captured a few war-weary soldiers, and shot two who shouted for surrender, but" The staff officer paused slightly, but still shook his head helplessly and said:
"But I still can't stop it!"
"En!" Ruan Chongming listened to the staff officer's report and didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and then dragged a wounded leg to the door of the external infirmary, but his face was gloomy and ugly, and the staff officer did not stop Ruan Chongming, so Ruan Chongming walked from the infirmary to the position, along the way the cold corpses wailed about the injuries and the helpless and hesitant eyes of the soldiers.
Let him know that this position on the hairpin mountain can not be defended, thinking about the information he brought back with his life but let others abandon it, Ruan Chongming's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of soreness, if Li Yongming could pay attention to it at that time and formulate corresponding countermeasures, it would not have caused such a large number of casualties, let alone let the squadron succeed so easily.
Thinking of this, Ruan Chongming looked around the entire position, watching the soldiers with ammunition and supplies still shuttling back and forth, and the soldiers at the firing point kept firing, but these soldiers fell into Ruan Chongming's eyes more like machines driven by helplessness, rather than soldiers fighting for the country.
The guns of the ** squadron outside the position came and went, and the roar of the charge made the entire position tremble, beating the Vietnamese army position like a wave, making this seemingly indestructible hairpin mountain almost crumbling, seeing this situation, Ruan Chongming's face suddenly flashed a sarcastic smile, the corners of his mouth also moved slightly, and he said to himself slightly:
"How do you let me clean up such a mess? If you listened to me, why should you regret it?"
When he finished saying the word "regret", Ruan Chongming's eyes suddenly lit up, Li Yongming was regretting, he wanted to make up for it, make up for the losses caused by his stubbornness, make up for the casualties suffered because of his stubbornness, and make up for the punishment he received because of his mistakes, but Li Yongming couldn't finish it, so he could only hand it over to him Ruan Chongming to complete, thinking about this, Ruan Chongming's face showed a meaningful smile:
"Li Yongming, let me help you fulfill your wish!"
As soon as Ruan Chongming's words fell, the anti-cline position, which had been silent for a long time, sounded again the tsunami-like charging slogan of the squadron, which shook the heavens and the earth like a powerful talisman, so that all the Vietnamese troops in the position stopped, and the anxious and frightened look of confusion was fixed on everyone's faces, and they knew that there was no one there
"Captain Ruan, let's close the closed door leading to the anticline, so that we can still fight, but if we can't do it, we will fight with the squadron in this position and carry out a street battle to the death."
"Forget it! Let the remaining soldiers live well, and if you can, try to stay!" Without waiting for the staff officer to finish speaking, Ruan Chongming waved his hand, and then he glanced at the helpless and hesitant soldiers in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on the staff officer next to him, with a trace of indescribable expression on his face, and said lightly:
"Tear a white cloth later and hang it out"
"Captain Ruan, you" The staff officer listened to Ruan Chongming's words and wanted to argue a few words, but was stopped by Ruan Chongming, and then he looked at the soldiers around him and continued to say softly:
"As long as everyone survives, they will produce well and live well after they go back, and if there is a next generation, they must be taught, don't mess with China!"
"Captain Nguyen"
"Carry out the order!" Ruan Chongming's voice suddenly increased, as if he had released all the anguish in his heart, and his distorted expression made the surrounding soldiers have a trace of awe in their hearts, and the staff officer who spoke just now was even more frightened back by half a step, and then stood up and shouted:
"Yes!"
Ruan Chongming didn't pay attention to the staff officer and the other soldiers, but dragged his injured leg and limped into the infirmary where he lived before, and then sat on the bed, and said to himself with a relieved smile on his face:
"Commander Li, the task you gave me has been completed, the soldiers should be able to live, and I" Ruan Chongming's smile became more relaxed as he said it, but he quickly pulled out the pistol on his waist, aimed it at his temple and pulled the trigger without hesitation
When Ruan Chongming arranged for the Vietnamese army to pull the flag and surrender, in the command post of the independent reconnaissance battalion located under the anticline fortifications of Faka Mountain, Wu Tianming was anxiously watching the attack with a telescope, Gu Zelin jumped forward very quickly, and after a while he rushed to a distance of 300 meters, with the explosion of several rockets with temperature and pressure warheads at various firing points of the Vietnamese army, Wu Tianming couldn't help but beat the sandbags in front of him with his fists, and shouted excitedly:
"It's done!"
Then he grabbed the radio station next to him and shouted loudly: "Gu Zelin, you must plant the red flag for Lao Tzu to the top of the mountain, and Lao Tzu will invite you to drink at that time!"
"Yes!" Gu Zelin's answer was also without hesitation, as the heat released by the thermobaric warhead and the shock wave dissipated, Gu Zelin waved his hand to the soldiers of the main attack platoon beside him:
"Comrades, rush with me, put on the red flag battalion commander and invite us to drink!" As he spoke, Gu Zelin was the first to launch the final charge towards the Vietnamese position with a gun, and the entire main attack platoon exploded with a deafening sound of rushing and killing under the leadership of Gu Zelin:
"Rush~~"
"Kill~~"
It didn't take long for the mountains to roar and the tsunami-like shouts of killing shook the entire hairpin mountain
"White flag! White flag! Platoon commander, look, the Vietnamese army's position has been planted with a white flag!" When Gu Zelin rushed halfway, Zhou Hao beside him pointed to the position and shouted, and Gu Zelin looked in the direction of Zhou Hao's finger, and the Vietnamese army did plant a white flag on the position, but Gu Zelin did not stop, but shouted loudly:
"Our task is to plant the red flag and continue to rush"
At the top of the main position of the hairpin mountain, Gu Zelin struggled to insert a red flag with several bullet holes and damage to the main peak, in order to ensure that the red flag did not fall, he used his body to support it, and this classic picture of supporting the red flag was recorded by the photographer of the army, when the bright red flag fluttered in the wind in the main position of the hairpa mountain, all the memories related to it became an eternal classic in the future (to be continued)
