David Liu said angrily: "Eight hours, at least!" Then, he said, "Even if the bridge is erected, it is useless, and I don't know how many anti-tank mines will be deployed along the way, and we must beware of sneak attacks on both sides of the road." In the case of unclear enemy situation, we can only set off tomorrow during the day. ”

Liu Yuanchao lamented: "Speaking of which, the result is that I can't leave tonight, and I will have to do tomorrow morning at the earliest, isn't it?" At that time, the daylilies were cold. ”

David Liu said sarcastically: "Do you still need to say this? Would we like to stay here? You think you're smart? ”

Now Liu Dawei, Zhu Jianjun, and Guo Zhuocheng are all battalion-level cadres, Guo Zhuocheng is young and has little seniority, although he is valued by his superiors, but in the absence of clear instructions from his superiors, he can only rank last among the three who lead a company. And Liu David and Zhu Jianjun have long taken Liu David as the first, Zhu Jianjun has cooperated with and protected the tank battalion most of the time, naturally Liu David is the eldest of these three, and now he reprimands Liu Yuanchao really has this qualification.

Although Liu Yuanchao was not angry in his heart, he was helpless, so he only snorted coldly and walked aside, his eyes scanning the map in the hands of the staff officer of the second battalion.

Guo Zhuocheng didn't want to just pass by minute by minute, he said: "If you are sure that you can't take the tank away tonight, I insist that you start blowing up the tank now, and then retreat immediately!" We can't bet that the Vietnamese army won't come, let alone that the Vietnamese army will be merciful to us. ”

Hearing that the tank was going to be blown up, not to mention that Liu David jumped up in anger, even Zhu Jianjun resolutely opposed: "No, it's not the last moment yet." We cannot say now that the regular Vietnamese army will not come. But there is no certainty that the regular Vietnamese army will come. What if our reinforcements and the regular Vietnamese army arrive at the same time? Their Vietnamese army is also a long-distance attack, and they are very tired by now, and it is likely to rest.

Besides, even if they come, they will be the end of the crossbow, and they may not be able to destroy us at once. We just have to hold out for a few more hours and reinforcements will arrive. When the time comes, the inside and the outside will be able to completely destroy the enemy. Guo Shucheng, don't lie down here. If you don't come, we can ...... If it doesn't work until reinforcements arrive, we will change our strategy from now on, resolutely focus on defense, and immediately increase the intensity of fortifications, and I will not believe that we will not be able to stop the attacks of these Vietnamese troops! ”

With Zhu Jianjun's statement□ David said even louder: "Yes! If our tank crews can't drive tanks to fight the enemy, we can hold our ground! The machine guns on the tank could be completely disassembled to strengthen the positional defenses. If your special forces are scared, you go! It's too late for you to leave! ”

When Liu Yuanchao heard this, he couldn't help it anymore and said, "Our special combat team is afraid? Do you know our battles? We don't want you to be beaten to death by the Vietnamese army. ”

Zhu Jianjun said: "Who knows how you fought, we didn't see each other anyway." Just a word now. Whether you talk about holding out or breaking through, we all agree, but if we want to take the initiative to blow up the tank and escape, no! I don't believe that so many tanks ♀ and shells can't kill a few enemies, as long as you can destroy one Vietnamese army, it's better than blowing it up for nothing! ”

Liu David even said: "We tank soldiers really haven't been afraid of anyone. Even if we are trapped here, and the Vietnamese army does not have a reinforced regiment to come up and besiege it, I will let them not eat and walk around! ”

"Camp Commander Liu." At this time, a signal soldier came in from outside and said, "The regiment commander called to ask if the fighters of the special combat team had arrived!" ”

David Liu waved his hand and said, "It's here!" But people are timid. I'm going to blow up the tank. If you sue the regimental commander, you will say that our first and second battalions will resolutely hold their positions. Wait for reinforcements to arrive. We will not disgrace the heroic 2 regiment and will not afford the men of other units. ”

The signal soldier was stunned for a moment⊙ asked, "What?" Blowing up a tank? But then he understood his duty and replied loudly, "Yes!" ”

I don't know who leaked Guo Zhuocheng's words, and many tank soldiers who had already slept and rested walked towards the headquarters at once, muttering loudly around the headquarters. The soldiers, who had a good impression of the special operations team who came to the rescue, now glared at them angrily, and if it weren't for the fact that the people of the special operations team were too lazy to pay attention to them, it is estimated that the two sides would soon have a physical confrontation.

The tank soldiers all scolded the people of the special combat team for being greedy for life and fearing death, and scolded Guo Shucheng as a desertist, saying that he said that he would blow up the tank before even the shadow of the enemy arrived.

Not to mention the tank troops, even the soldiers of the special combat team themselves also think that Guo Zhuocheng's construction is too stinky, how can there be a reason to give up the tank and run away before the battle officially starts? However, if Guo Zhuocheng is said to be timid, none of the soldiers in the special combat team believe ∧ have doubts and have to remain silent.

Not only are there many contradictions among the cadres and fighters here in Pheasant Ridge, but even the top military leaders are also undecided. After receiving the different opinions of Liu Dawei, Zhu Jianjun, and Guo Zhuocheng from the radio station, the leaders of the 2nd Regiment and its division and army resolutely demanded that the troops should break through on their own, and if the breakthrough was unsuccessful, they would stick to the spot and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and they absolutely could not blow up the tanks without encountering the enemy. They told the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front that even if the situation was worst, their reinforcements would be able to get the 1st and 2nd battalions out safely.

Although the opinions of the bigwigs in the Eastern Front Army are divided into two categories, some of them think that Guo Zhuocheng's construction should be carefully considered, and they should make a decision immediately and break out of the encirclement of the Vietnamese army as soon as possible, but their opinions are not exactly the same as Guo Zhuocheng's, and they are also reluctant to discard so much heavy equipment ♀ and some bigwigs who are used to living a poor life are really heartbroken to lose so much equipment.

In the previous life, not to mention a high-level boss like General Xu, not to mention high-ranking officials such as provincial governors and mayors, even a county magistrate could pat his head at will and decide to launch a project of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

If someone is really serious about them, they will pat themselves on the ass and leave, and go to another place. Some officials even took bribes of tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and their money was enough to build several tank battalions.

Therefore, Guo Zhuocheng, who had been the mayor in his previous life, was able to say lightly on the spot that the tank would be blown up immediately, and the troops would immediately jump out of the encirclement, taking the lives of the soldiers as the first consideration, but the bigwigs who were the commanders of the general front would never be able to say it.

After some not fierce arguments, an order was directly slapped from the general front of the Eastern Front to Pheasant Ridge: "The General Command of the Eastern Front Corps: 1. At this time, the enemy situation is unknown, you can find out the enemy in front of you after dawn and retreat along the original road." Second, if the breakthrough fails, you wait for the local defense, if the enemy situation is strict, you can wait for the opportunity to withdraw, and the soldiers behind the rear of the main hall will blow up the tank. 3. Our three-way reinforcements are advancing in the starry night, and are expected to reach Pheasant Ridge before noon tomorrow. Fourth, for the sake of unified command, you and others may temporarily form a command center, with Liu Dawei, Zhu Jianjun, and Guo Zhuocheng forming a decision-making body. However, the special combat team led by Guo Zhuocheng has the right to act on its own. ……”

Although this order came from the highest echelons of the army, it was still a muddy order, and to put it mildly, it was to let the troops in the encirclement act at the opportune time, and to put it mildly, it was indecisive.

From the fact that Liu Dawei's name can be ranked at the front, the superiors can still take out the tank completely, and from the back give the special combat team the right to act on their own, which shows that the superiors are not completely opposed to Guo Zhuocheng's construction.

Obviously, the superiors want to have both fish and bear's paws, and they are reluctant to give up the troops and tanks.

This order that came from the next level made Liu David and Zhu Jianjun shocked, and at the same time, it also strengthened their original plan. Although Guo Zhuocheng had different opinions on this, he could not know the strategic intentions of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time, he did not want to become the target of public criticism because he insisted on blowing up the tank, so he had to no longer insist on his own opinions, expressed his obedience to the collective decision, and became Liu Dawei's deputy with Zhu Jianjun in the temporary command center, and took over the third in the sequence, that is, if Liu David died in the battle, Zhu Jianjun automatically took over the command, and if Zhu Jianjun died, Guo Zhuocheng became the commander-in-chief.

Because of the "unification" of opinions, the contradictions and differences between the special combat team and the first and second battalions have disappeared invisibly, and after all, the special combat team came in from outside on their own initiative to help them, and the soldiers of the first and second battalions magnanimously forgave them. Some people even took the initiative to bring food and arranged for the special combat team to live in the peasants' houses, although these ownerless houses were very dilapidated, and sleeping outside was similar to sleeping inside. Some houses have a musty smell and even a smell of urine in the house than outside, and for the soldiers of the special combat team who are accustomed to sleeping in the field, this kind of treatment is a kind of suffering, but it is a treatment after all.

Guo Zhuocheng briefly discussed with Liu Dawei and Zhu Jianjun, and decided that the special combat team would not participate in their bridge-building and bridge-building activities, but would alone clear out Vietnamese agents and armed militia in the mountains north of the village, so as to find another escape route for the whole army in case it was unable to break through the road.

Of course, the three of them also discussed matters related to logistics supply, position defense, position cover-up, and so on, and after that, Guo Zhuocheng and others rested and slept in the tent arranged by the logistics department. Although there were occasional gunshots in the distance, or the occasional explosion of mortar shells, they slept soundly when they were tired.

When he left the headquarters, Guo Zhuocheng met the female health soldier again. I saw her come out of a dark place, quietly and quickly tidying up her clothes, looking hurried and shy.

Seeing Guo Zhuocheng and them, she was stunned, her face turned blood-red, she covered her face with her hands, and ran away in a hurry.

Guo Shucheng was puzzled, and didn't know why this female soldier blushed every time he saw him. Corresponding to her, Liu Yuanchao also blushed at this time, he turned his head, pretending not to see the female health guard, and staring at the mountains in the distance.

After Guo Zhuocheng and the others left, the companion of the female health guard laughed at her: "Sister Xiaoxue, you are really destined‖ you can bump into each other when you go to the toilet." ”

"You! I'll ignore you for any more nonsense, huh! ”……
