Chapter 290: General Xu's excitement

After the main force of the squadron that was surrounded in Hongxi Village left, the anti-artillery holes and tunnels that were extremely lacking before suddenly seemed to be much wider, and the soldiers who stayed behind had places to hide, and the safety was naturally more complete, so that so many Vietnamese artillery shells fell, killing only three Chinese soldiers and wounding five.

Eight dead and wounded is indeed a large casualty ratio for more than 60 people in two platoons, but for the two battalions and one special combat team that were surrounded before, this casualty figure is very small.

If Li Ande continues to insist on his opinion and continues to bomb despite the persuasion of the chief of staff of the division, once the dam in Zhuangzili collapses and the flood water flows into the river, Guo Zhuocheng, who has already set out, may really become fish in a dry fish pond, unable to advance or retreat. Although Guo Zhuocheng and the others can also climb mountains and wade through rivers to escape, those 20 tanks must be left in place and blown up, so he can also make a lot of credit.

It's a pity that he gave up under the persuasion of others, and completely achieved Guo Zhuocheng's military exploits.

The Vietnamese army stopped shelling, and the village of Hongxi suddenly became quiet. Jiang Li didn't believe his ears a little, turned his head to the guard who was wounded in the shoulder, and asked loudly, "Is the shelling of the Vietnamese army over?" Is my ear deaf? ”

The guards shouted: "No! It's really stopped! You, no explosions, no fires! ”

Jiang Li laughed and said, "Hahahaha, great! He shouted, "Comrades, come out quickly!" The enemy's shelling has stopped, come out and repair the damβ€”β€”! ”

After the tank team marching down the river turned a section of the canyon, everyone's vision suddenly became clearer, and the mountains on the side were much shorter than before, and after leaving the valley, the mountains were not as steep as before, and the mountains were not small distances from the river, and the banks were on both sides of the gentle slopes covered with shrubs.

When they arrived, everyone felt safe: even if there were enemies in ambush nearby, the danger was small, and it was difficult for them to do much damage in the terrain here.

The only thing that makes them happy is that because there is not much water flowing here, the water level is not very high, and the tank driver needs to carefully choose the route in the river so as not to hit a big rock.

After another half an hour, the tank group drove into a swamp. With endless swamps, starry lakes and sparse grass, people couldn't help but cheer.

Liu Yuanchao, the commander who was sitting at the front, shouted even more vigorously: "Full speed ahead!" The goal is right ahead! ”

Out of the dangerous place, Guo Zhuocheng and other people tied to the outside of the car no longer need to be seriously vigilant, and many people began to sing songs.

Guo Shucheng untied the rope, got into the car with quick movements, and ordered Sheng Guozhong, who had been in charge of the radio station in the car: "Send a report to the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front Army!" ”

Now the people around Guo Shucheng are immune to him sending a report to the general front of the Eastern Front Army at every turn, not only do they not feel abrupt, but they all feel that it is normal, Guozhong immediately took out a record book and waited seriously for Guo Shucheng to speak.

The general commander of the Eastern Front Army had a solemn atmosphere, especially when the scouts reported that there was a large-scale internal attack by the Vietnamese army in the direction of Yeji Ridge, and they were even more anxious, and they were bombarded by Vietnamese artillery. Amphibious tanks are slow, unmaneuverable, and extremely vulnerable: when hit by heavy artillery, they are instantly blown to pieces with weak armor. Hit by a small-caliber shell, although it will not blow up to pieces, it will turn into an iron coffin and sink to the bottom. Even if the shells explode around them, they will also become near-misses, either overturning them or crushing them, not to mention the soldiers tied to their outside? These soldiers could easily be drowned.

Prior to this, they had received a telegram from the Special Operations Brigade stating that they had left two platoons under the command of a company commander and that the rest of the large force would leave in twenty-two amphibious tanks. For the sake of secrecy, the special brigade practiced radio silence along the way until it reached a safe position.

Whenever an officer came in from outside, General Xu's eyes shot a sharp light, staring at the comer's hand. If the person who came in didn't have a newspaper in his hand, his face suddenly collapsed, he snorted coldly, and then stared at the place, scanning the line of pheasant ridge that was too ripe to be cooked.

If the person who came in had a newspaper in his hand, his sharp eyes would raise the other party's eyes, and he would have to dig out the information about the special operations brigade in the eyes of the person who came.

Officers who don't know the inside story, no matter how high their position is, will be scared into a cold sweat when they enter, and constantly check themselves in their hearts what they have done wrong. The officer, who knew the inside story, smiled helplessly at the old man every time, and then went about his business with trepidation.

In the end, everyone saw entering the headquarters as a daunting path, and they did not want to go in, or they could not get out. Everyone reached a tacit understanding: stay away from this old man as much as possible, try not to attract the old man's attention, and try not to mention the special forces as much as possible.

A senior officer whispered to a colleague next to him, "This old man has gone mad. He is more concerned about the special combat team than when Lao Tzu fell in love when he was young, and he looks itchy, hehe, it's funny. ”

The colleague next to him smiled: "The old man Guo Zhuocheng is heavier than his grandson, and now he doesn't think about tea and dinner, hehe." ”

Although General Xu couldn't hear what he said, he was depressed and knew by feeling that they were talking about him, and he coughed heavily, so frightened that the two immediately straightened up and pretended to work seriously.

After receiving Guo Zhuocheng's call, the communications staff officer who was helplessly guarding the communication room was overjoyed and shouted as he ran: "Good news, the special combat team has successfully broken through!" Good news! The special combat team successfully broke throughβ€”β€”! ”

"Whew-" Almost everyone exhaled, wiping their foreheads one by one, regardless of whether there was cold sweat on their foreheads.

General Xu rushed to the door with a few steps, grabbed the clothes of the shouting communications staff officer with one hand, raised it with one hand, and shouted: "Bring it!" ”

The communications staff officer, suspended in mid-air, hurriedly handed the telegram to the old man, and at the same time prepared to be fallen.

General Xu held the poor communications staff officer in the air as if he were holding a cloth bag, and his eyes quickly scanned the words on the telegram. After that, the old man laughed, put the communications staff officer down, then patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad! That's a good doll! You're not bad, you know what Lao Tzu is thinking about most right now. ”

The communications staff officer said with a bitter face: "What you said, who doesn't know what you want now?" Ouch...... I beg you to go down and throw me aside, I can't stand your compliments, you slapped me on the shoulder a few times, and your bones were broken. Ahh

General Xu "obediently" grabbed the clothes on the chest of the communications staff officer, threw him aside, and made a popping sound.

A carp of the communications staff officer stood up and said, "Old Xu, is there a telegram sent to him?" ”

General Xu nodded and said, "Yes, continue!" ”

The communications staff officer was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether General Xu praised Guo Zhuocheng or himself, but when General Xu's legs were slightly raised, he immediately ran away.

There was laughter in the command.

General Xu was obviously very interested, and said with a smile: "This guy has learned martial arts from Lao Tzu for many years, but he still hasn't grown. But a pair of dog eyes got even more powerful, knowing that I was going to kick him as soon as I lifted my leg. Haha......"

Everyone laughed again.

The tank group of the special brigade went ashore on a flat place, except for the wounded and the female hygienist, the other cadres and soldiers got off the tank, became tank escorts, and advanced together in the southwest direction, five miles away there was a large Chinese force that had just arrived. The fuel needed for the tank will also be transported there.

Looking at the four words on the telegram, Guo Zhuocheng laughed so hard that his mouth cracked to the back of his head, and then handed the paper to Chen Yao beside him: "I don't know if this thing is useful if it is used for power." ”

After Chen Yao got the telegram's "good, continue", he also smiled, thought for a while like tweezers, and said, "I guess it's about the same." The rank of the captain of your special brigade has been decided, and you will soon be equipped with a whole regiment of troops, right? It's sure to keep you awake as an official fan. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled: "The more these are better for me, how can I not sleep?" I'm promoted, won't you also go up? The ancients scolded people too much, what one person has ascended to heaven, how can you be a chicken and a dog? ”

Chen Yao kicked Guo Zhuocheng's buttocks: "Fart!" Lao Tzu also saved by military merits. ”

After the troops had advanced on the road for more than ten minutes, one of the tanks that was reconnoitring at the front reported: "Report! There is a village ahead with Vietnamese armed men! ”

"Numbers and weapons?" Guo asked Chengcheng.

Liu Yuanchao, who personally led personnel to reconnoitre, said again: "Reconnoitring." There were about 100 armed men on the streets of the village, armed with infantry and light weapons. But there are still armed men in the farmhouse, and it is not possible to figure out the number of personnel and weapons and equipment for the time being. ”

"There are more than a hundred people outside?" Guo Zhuocheng frowned, glanced at his tired hands, and asked into the walkie-talkie transmitter, "Is there any other way to go?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Yuanchao's affirmative voice came from the intercom, "The road goes straight through the village...... There is only one road to pass, either destroy them or wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Guo Zhuocheng waved his hand: "All of you are ready for battle!" ”

He hesitated and frowned just now, just didn't want the fighters to be too tired. You must know that it is very tiring to wade on the tank, and everyone's mood has been nervous in the past two days, even he Guo Zhuocheng also feels that he just wants to take a good rest now, and he is really a little unbearable. But he didn't mean to be scared in his heart, twenty-two tanks plus special combat soldiers and other infantry, it was easy to pack up more than a hundred Vietnamese troops.

From the sentry posts of the Vietnamese army and the appearance of the crowd in the village, it can be seen that these people are not regular troops, most likely not even police officers or agents, but some armed militia. Their sentry was very close to the village, and two listless men stood at the entrance of the village and walked about boredly.
