Cheng Hongbin is very proud, because whether it is in Dien Bien Phu or in the current remote county, he feels that he has been recognized. The people of both places spoke highly of him, and there were some young people in their twenties who were willing to follow his team. In Chinese film and television dramas, he saw that many revolutionary dramas were played like this. Although these people are all Vietnamese, but the people's aspirations and the trend of the times, Cheng Hongbin feels that he can also do a big career like Brother Cheng and Brother Liu.

It's a pity that reality quickly gave him a blow in the face.

The Vietnamese military has run out of patience, the Hongdao side is in a stalemate, and Cheng Hongbin, a wanted squad, is making trouble everywhere, making people's scalps numb all day long. The Vietnamese top brass has issued a death order, demanding that the military must go all out to encircle and suppress Cheng Hongbin's squad, and no matter how many troops are deployed, they must be completely eliminated.

An infantry regiment followed Cheng Hongbin's route to retreat. Equipped with military trucks and carrying light weapons, it took only one afternoon to surround Cheng Hongbin's small detachment of forty or fifty people on a nearby hill.

As soon as the guns rang out, the people from the remote county town scattered, which made Cheng Hongbin very disappointed, and he could only command a dozen people under his command to fight against the military. The combat effectiveness of the veterans is naturally good, but they only have long shotguns and pistols in their hands, and they are not the opponents of the regular troops at all.

The army was equipped with mortars, and immediately set up artillery positions in a hasty manner, and began to fire at Cheng Hongbin and others. The dense forests and high grass made it easy to hide their figures, but the shells ignited the trees, which soon caused a forest fire. The tongue of fire scorched the ground, leading the nearby plants and trees, only to hear one muffled sound after another, and the thunder that had been buried in the ground for decades exploded one after another. The two young men who had followed Cheng Hongbin from Dien Bien Phu were unlucky, and at the same time they were hit by an exploding mine, and Cheng Hongbin was hit in the head by a broken leg without even hearing their screams, and his face was immediately covered in blood.

Cheng Hongbin shouted twice, but the two of them had no reaction, they should have hung up directly. Xiao Yuan hurriedly ran over and shouted in front of Cheng Hongbin's ear: "Brother Bin, withdraw, the army is coming." ”

Cheng Hongbin gestured to the veterans, and the veterans understood, and immediately concentrated their firepower and swept down the mountain. Several Vietnamese soldiers were shot and fell down the spot, and their bodies rolled down the hill. Cheng Hongbin took a look, only to hear a "whoosh" sound, and a bullet flew past his ear. As long as it is two inches off, the head will bloom.

"Damn, the shot was accurate." Cheng Hongbin scolded in a low voice.

"Withdraw." The head of the veterans shouted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of suppressing the fire, everyone retreated to the rear of the mountain forest. Another of the young men who had come from Dien Bien Phu was a deserter, threw his shotgun on the ground, and as soon as he raised his hands and ran down the mountain, he was beaten into a sieve by the Vietnamese soldiers.

Cheng Hongbin said angrily: "If you want to go, just go, as long as you are not afraid of death, you can leave now!" ”

The tragic example was in front of them, who dared to surrender to the army, and without saying a word, the cat ran to the mountain. Running to a high place, Cheng Hongbin glanced down, only to see that on the rugged mountain road, dense Vietnamese soldiers squirmed upwards like ants, looking extremely dazzling.

In the past, they would have set up a trap or something on the road, but now there are no materials, so they can only miss this opportunity in vain. Moreover, the enemy's artillery positions are also constantly advancing, and if they are delayed, they will soon be surrounded by the Vietnamese on this hill.

Cheng Hongbin briefly judged the terrain and said, "Let's go, go east." ”

That side is the border between Vietnam and China, and with a few of them, they do not dare to start a war on the border without authorization. After running forward two kilometers with one foot deep and one foot shallow, a young man was bitten in the throat by a pit viper and completely lost his combat effectiveness. A veteran carried him on his back and ran for a few minutes, Xiao Yuan leaned over to take a look and said, "Forget it, he's dead." ”

The veteran looked back, and the young man's face was pale, and he was indeed hanging.

The Vietnamese army was still in pursuit, and the mountains and forests were noisy with sparse gunfires, large flocks of birds and finches flying in the air, and some wild boars and hares and other animals were running around the mountains to avoid the fires. The leader of the veterans killed a wild boar with one shot, cut off four legs with a knife, ordered the group of young men who came from Dien Bien Phu to take it on his body, and then gathered the guns and ammunition, and said to Cheng Hongbin: "Contact Brother Liu to see if they can provide support." ”

Cheng Hongbin smiled bitterly: "They are blocked at sea, and it is impossible to help us." Anyway, we have a lot of blood debts in our hands, and we should have died a long time ago, so let's fight to the end today and see who is the first to die. ”

The leader of the veterans shook his head and said, "That's not good, Brother Liu told me to ensure the safety of you and Brother Xiao Yuan." ”

A cannonball landed in an open field not far from them, and a cloud of black smoke rushed into the air along with the flames. The leader of the veterans pushed Cheng Hongbin and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lead people to retreat." ”

Cheng Hongbin said angrily: "What do you mean, Lao Tzu is not a bad seed." ”

The veteran leader said: "You are not a bad breed, but you have never been a soldier. ”

Cheng Hongbin still wanted to speak, but several other veterans pushed him back. The Vietnamese soldiers, resilient, quickly caught up again, but the veterans were condescending and a round of concentrated fire drove them back.

However, the sound of the propeller of the gunship began to turn in mid-air, Cheng Hongbin glanced up, immediately fell to the ground, and shouted: "Lie down, lie down." ”

The veterans lay on the ground in unison, and a series of muffled machine guns struck them, and the trees with the thickness of their calves were broken on the spot. "Let's go, stop fighting." Cheng Hongbin shouted angrily, "You are my brothers, and you all have to go back alive today." ”

The veterans did not dare to barely hold on, because the power of the machine gun was not a joke, and if it hit a person, it could directly break people into several pieces. The helicopter was located on a high ground, and although it was covered by a canopy, it could not withstand the strafing of the four machine guns. Behind him, the Vietnamese soldiers were pressing forward step by step, and there were mines buried on the mountain roads, and although Cheng Hongbin was also running hard, he also knew in his heart that this time he might really have to stop cooking.

The young men with wild boar legs on their backs had poor military literacy, and when they saw the helicopter gunships of the Vietnamese army, they looked up curiously, and it was too late to hear Cheng Hongbin's shouts. Cheng Hongbin saw with his own eyes that clouds of blood mist burst out, and the young men were all blown to pieces by machine guns.

Counting the number of soldiers, there were no less veterans, only one of them had a slight injury to the arm. Cheng Hongbin and Xiao Yuan didn't have anything to do, but all the people who came with them from the remote counties stayed, and there were only two young people left who came from Dien Bien Phu. Carefully calculating Cheng Hongbin's team, there were fifty or sixty people an hour ago, and now there are only nine people left.

The mountains on the border between Vietnam and China are endless, and many places are uninhabited and uninhabited. Cheng Hongbin's gang was in a hurry to run for their lives, and they didn't care if there was a road ahead. There were Vietnamese planes in the sky, and they did not dare to flee to the open area, so they could only burrow into the deep mountains and old forests with their heads bored. But the greatest danger has been far away from them, because of such a dangerous and deep jungle, helicopter gunships dare not fire indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause a forest fire, which is another troublesome matter.

It's just that hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers are still following their tracks. Cheng Hongbin used the terrain to set up several traps to mislead them, but their commanders saw through them. The leader of the veterans smiled bitterly: "Save some effort, the Vietnamese can defeat the American soldiers, and they also have two brushes under their hands." ”

Cheng Hongbin said angrily: "It's all your fault, I taught the Vietnamese to fight guerrillas." ”

The veteran leader was dumbfounded: "That's what the veterans of the Vietnam War did, and it has something to do with me?" ”

Cheng Hongbin did not dare to blame the heroes of his predecessors, so he could only scold the Vietnamese for being ungrateful. As for his previous looting of Vietnamese villages and towns, he had already selectively ignored them. The veterans' marksmanship was more accurate than Cheng Hongbin's, and they counterattacked while retreating, and when they reached this kind of deep mountainous area, the numerical advantage of the Vietnamese became a disadvantage, because the veterans did not need to deliberately aim at all, as long as they shot at the crowd, they would inevitably be able to hit the other party.

The pursuit lasted from about two o'clock in the afternoon until eight o'clock in the evening. Cheng Hongbin sat under the pine tree, panting, reached out and touched the soles of his feet, the soles of his shoes were ground into a big hole, and there were several blisters. The others were not much better, and the two boys from Dien Bien Phu were even worse, with blood on their faces and arms scraped by tree branches.

Cheng Hongbin called the two of them over and said, "Boy, you will not be our subordinates in the future, remember, you are all my brothers." ”

The two young men burst into tears, it was not easy to escape from death, and it was even more unexpected to be recognized by the boss. But everyone understands in their hearts that they are just stragglers, and the army is an army after all, and maybe a phone call will be made to the hills full of Vietnamese search soldiers.

A few veterans were in good spirits, and they didn't show the exhaustion after hours of battle. Maybe this kind of life has really brought them to life, because they have an element of pride in their blood, they are former Chinese soldiers.

Cheng Hongbin walked over and shook hands with the veteran leader. The leader of the veterans smiled and said, "I can see it now, you people, no one can afford to provoke them." ”

Cheng Hongbin smiled bitterly: "If you really can't afford to provoke it, how can you be beaten like this?" ”

The leader of the veterans said: "Hehe, our group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals can fight with the regular army at this time, which is already very remarkable." If you change to Brother Cheng and Brother Liu, it may not be much better. Brother, this is war, not the same as you used to play. ”

Cheng Hongbin sighed and said, "It's a pity that I will never see my mother and sister again." ”

The veteran leader laughed. "Don't worry, they won't find us tonight, and we'll be safe."

Cheng Hongbin's eyes lit up and said, "Brother, do you have a way?" ”

The veteran leader nodded and said, "I have already thought of a way, but I can only use it in the dead of night." ”
