Chapter 037: Convergence
The old comrades-in-arms who have been training together for more than half a year met each other, and they were very cordial. When they met, Yao Jinxin was not embarrassed because he returned to his original unit halfway. Dozens of soldiers under his command were very impressed when they saw the platoon commander making love with his comrades. However, they quickly took over the position, took out their shovels and dug trenches and anti-artillery holes.
"Thank you, Little Chief, for your help. Without you, we're afraid we wouldn't have come here so soon. "I've met with other people, and in the end it's Hong Yan.
"Hey! It all depends on the brave and strong soldiers who dare to sacrifice, and the leaders who command properly and make correct decisions. ”
"Haha, the little chief is right!" Yao Jinxin also felt right when he saw Hong Yan say this.
"Is the sacrifice great?" Hong Yan asked.
How did Hong Yan know that according to the normal historical trajectory, Platoon Commander Yao had already died on the road to attack the 387 Heights.
"It's a little, not too big. Since the Vietnamese army's firepower points and hidden forts were basically mastered, they were first named one by one by artillery fire, and then those that slipped through the net were eliminated by company and platoon fire, and the casualties were not large. Some of these casualties were caused by scattered Vietnamese guns, cold guns or mines. Our platoon lost three fighters, five wounded, and the rest were slightly wounded. Yao Jinxin introduced him.
"Platoon Commander Yao, tell the soldiers to rest for a while, how about we be on guard for a while?" Guo Jinsong saw that Yao Jinxin was very tired, and the soldiers were also very tired.
"Okay, Captain Guo. Don't worry, that's our duty! Yao Jinxin is also a person who can distinguish clearly: "Prepare the fortifications a moment earlier, and have more security!" ”
"That's right!" Guo Jinsong said with a smile: "Brothers, help your comrades-in-arms, dig the trenches a little deeper, and make the fortifications stronger, okay?" ”
"Good!" Thirty members shouted. Of course, it's impossible to dig them all.
Hongyan is one of the ones who can't dig fortifications. After a while, he called Shi Yanbin, Wang Xiaotie, Guo Jinsong and others to bring out baskets of canned beef, bananas, watermelons, cola, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc. Yao Jinxin didn't ask where he came from, and greeted his soldiers with peace of mind. They didn't close their eyes or sleep for two days and two nights, they were hungry and thirsty all the way, and they were all supported by their spirits. A few of the fighters fell asleep while eating.
Hong Yan looked at these tired soldiers, some of them had big mouths on their faces and dirty blood, some of their heads were wrapped in gauze and turned red, some of their arms were bandaged, some were walking lame, some of them showed resolute faces, and some of them seemed to have just grown fluffy beards at the corners of their mouths. He suddenly felt in his heart that they were really worthy of "the loveliest people in the new era", dedication, sacrifice, and no regrets. If it weren't for last night's reconnaissance, would there be a lot of fighters lying on this land?
Hong Yan carefully examined each wounded soldier, cleaned the wounds, applied medicine, and took the recovery solution. Although some wounds were treated by the company health officer, they were treated relatively rough on the battlefield, and some minor injuries were simply bandaged by themselves.
"Thank you, little chief!" Yao Jinxin watched Hong Yan carefully check them one by one, and his heart was moved.
"Jin Xin, what are you talking about! Compared to the soldiers risking their lives, what am I! Hong Yan said with a small face.
Yao Jinxin and the soldiers were very emotional, and they were very grateful to Hong Yan for his serious attitude and extra efforts, and even said on the spot that they would continue to fight and make new contributions to the country.
Guo Jinsong handed over the captured weapons, ammunition and supplies to Yao Jinxin, as well as several Vietnamese prisoners. Now they don't have to worry anymore. The soldiers all changed into AK47s, heavy aircraft, mortars, rocket launchers, grenades, etc., and there was also a lot of food and military supplies.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the 6th Company of the 2nd Battalion occupied and took over the 1st Heights and the 351st and 463rd, and the 5th Company occupied the higher Heights 2 and 3. Two companies began to nervously lay out the fortifications. They were pleasantly surprised to find piles of logs that could be put to good use. Yao Jinxin led the reconnaissance platoon to rest and wait for the next order.
Then, the 10th squad received an order to retreat one step after another to rest. Consolidating crying was carried back to the rear by the migrant workers. The guide, Long Kan, was not very familiar with the southbound route and was recalled. However, he went back with the consolidation. Hong Yan gave him a large backpack full of gifts for him and his children. As for the matter of asking for merit for him, it will naturally be arranged by the relevant departments of the military command.
Yang Si*Qing was going to be sent back, but he resolutely disagreed, and showed his wound to Guo Jinsong and the team, saying that it had scabbed over and would be fine soon, and it would never become an oil bottle for the team. The team was amazed at how quickly the wound recovered.
Xu Zegui also met his old company here, and after getting permission, he briefly talked to his comrades in the old company. The team had already changed into PLA uniforms and rested on the slopes of the Gushanxi Mountain Pass. Except for Hong Yan, the other team members took the opportunity to lie down in the grass and fell asleep. The small bridge southwest of Gushan has been occupied, and groups of fighters are arranging around the Daino Mountains.
Hong Yan didn't know that his little butterfly was flapping its wings and affecting the course of the self-defense counterattack. The 190 Artillery Regiment was wiped out at the first time, without the artillery support of one artillery regiment, Gu Shan and Baosheng's defense was much more difficult than in the previous life, and the two places were quickly lost. Due to the detailed layout of 387, it was also conquered more than two days earlier than in history.
Although the original plan for the interspersed mission of the 114th Regiment of Division B was one day late, their task was changed to penetrate directly into the Langham area to outflank the rear of the 345th Division. The 9th Company, which had been serving as the vanguard, was withdrawn to the second line to rest and recuperate. Heights No. 1 were defended by the 116th Company of the 117th Brotherhood Regiment of the 2nd Regiment of the C Division.
The Vietnamese did not expect the Huaxia army to quickly destroy its defense-in-depth system. The situation in Tangtang is critical, and it is only a matter of time before it is captured. Therefore, the supreme command of the Vietnamese army asked the 345th Division to organize the defense of Lao Cai and issued a military order to defend the orange pond area. The 345th Division mobilized forces to build a new defensive line.
However, similar to the course of the previous life, the Huaxia artillery poured too many shells on the first day due to excessive firepower. As a result, the next day the artillerymen could only wait for the rice to be put into the pot and wait for the rear to transport the shells. Logistics is in order to rush to transport ammunition, so that food, canned food and other supplies are unsustainable. The logistics capacity is insufficient, and local transportation capacity has to be requisitioned to participate in transportation.
The Chinese army on the Western Front waited for the ammunition to be replenished and stayed between Gu Shan and Lao Cai, providing time for the Vietnamese side to hold on to the orange pond. The enemy's 345th Division urgently adjusted its deployment, first of all, requiring the 192nd Regiment and the Lao Cai City Brigade to defend tightly, fight street battles, and fight step by step, so as to inflict heavy casualties on the "Beikou." As a matter of fact, a battalion east of the Red River was transferred to the west, and the 121st Regiment to the west of the river was to build fortifications in the areas of Gusa, Dianna, Ronghe, and Zhenwei, and to organize defenses in a vain attempt to prevent us from advancing southward. At the same time, the main force of the enemy's 316A Division came to the east, in a vain attempt to flank the Huaxia army and capture Guliu and Laojie in order to relieve the danger of Tangtang.
After a day's rest, the squad received the order to join the 12th squadron, and then continued southward, along Dianna, Langfei, Langge, Datang, Bankuan and other places to the Langguan and Langhame areas south of Tangtang, to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, find an opportunity to blow up the bridge over the Waibo River, and cut off the retreat route of the 345th Division.
Hong Yan had already seen a small team of more than 30 people coming out of the village, which was none other than the members of the 12th team. However, there was a big man in the middle of the team, and Wang Baoyi, the deputy captain. He quickly woke up Guo Jinsong and the others, and everyone sorted out their clothes and lined up to welcome the arrival of their teammates and leaders.
"Okay, you old Guo, you have done a lot of things! It's comparable to all of our old brothers. "The captain of the 12th team, Ge Dawei, punched Guo Jinsong when he met.
", what are you talking about? Luckily, the brethren are just desperate! "Guo Jinsong is very modest.
Both of them were the first to start, and after a few simple sentences, I quickly met the deputy captain.
"Report to the captain, Guo Jinsong of the 10th squad reports to you, please instruct!" Guo Jinsong stood up and saluted. It is not allowed to salute the commander on the battlefield.
"Okay, hard work!" Wang Baoyi's waist is straight, and although he is over thirty-five years old, his physical condition is still very good. He greeted the fighters of the 10th squad again: "Comrades have worked hard! ”
"Hello Chief!"
"Your tasks have been completed very well, and the military commanders and military chiefs are very satisfied with your performance and let me bring you cordial greetings, and I hope that you will make persistent efforts and achieve greater results. (Thank you for your concern, and never disappoint expectations!) At the same time, Captain Ouyang and Political Commissar Zhao also brought their greetings, you have worked hard! (Serve the people!) The military commander sent me and the 12th squad here this time because the task ahead is more arduous and stressful, so let's complete it successfully! Come on! Wang Baoyi made a brief speech and finally raised his fists to cheer up.
"Come on!" The members of both squads yelled.
Then, it's time for the two squads of fighters. When they met again after five days of separation, the comrades-in-arms were extremely happy, shaking hands and hugging each other.
Hong Yan ran before and after taking pictures of them, like a war correspondent.
"Okay, Hong Yan come over and let my uncle take a look!" Wang Baoyi beckoned to Hong Yan. Many people don't see Hong Yan as a member of the special brigade.
"Hello Uncle Wang!" Hong Yan said hello obediently.
"I haven't seen you for the past few days, it's dark, I'm thin. Bitter, right? Are there any dangers? His big rough hand touched Hong Yan's head and asked, very concerned.
"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern. Team Guo and they rushed to the front, how could I encounter any danger. Hong Yan also smiled.
"Chief Wu has a message to you, be careful in everything, and don't be reckless. Don't worry at home, I've already sent a letter back. "Wang Baoyi came directly from China, obviously under the care of Wu Dehou. The road has been opened, another squad has come together, and the scattered Vietnamese troops are not a threat to safety.
"Grandpa Wu is still not at ease! Raoh he remembered. ”
"Haha! Not only is Chief Wu worried about you, but the Ouyang Brigade and Political Commissar Zhao are also very concerned about you. However, after listening to your report, they were slightly relieved...... Chief Wu actually hopes that you can go back, saying that war is a game between adults. ”
Wu Dehou's words could not have been so tactful.
"I didn't actually do anything, I just talked to them and helped them with some medical care." Hong Yan opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"You, you!" Wang Baoyi said with a smile.
Brought another guide from China, Wu Mengshan, a Chinese originally living in Vietnam, whose property was confiscated and then driven back to China the year before last. He was lucky enough to leave early, and although he lost his fortune, he was not killed or physically harmed. He is very familiar with the area from Tangtang to Sabah.
With the addition of the 12th squad, the entire special reconnaissance team grew, and the two squads were collectively called the special reconnaissance squad.
