Chapter 374:

The air was almost frozen, and everyone was staring at the herald, who was not equipped to the platoon level and could only use the herald to convey orders. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This herald is the herald of the company. Wang Shitian must have seen the movement below and sent him down to hold him accountable. But Xiao Mubai didn't want to give in, just as he was about to dismiss the order.

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and it suddenly exploded in front of my eyes.

"Boom!"

The Vietnamese howitzers were aimed at this area, and the 122 mm caliber shells exploded, and the herald in the center of the explosion did not even leave a corpse, and was blown into powder in an instant.

This scene stunned everyone who saw the soldiers at close range.

Sometimes, it's one thing to experience it firsthand, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes. This scene has to be said to be a shock to everyone, the first squad leader wanted to move his mouth just now, but his face turned pale and he didn't say anything more.

"Quick. Hurry up and crawl forward. ”

Disobedience is not a reason, it is the greatest honor to be able to complete the task. Arrive at the attack position before everyone arrives, so as not to be a scapegoat.

Xiao Mubai gave an order, and more than fifty soldiers set off in unison. They left behind the seriously wounded, who would be treated by the medics who arrived later, and of course, no one knew when the medics would arrive.

……

The waist and tail of the 1st battalion interspersed detachment were exactly within the range of the Vietnamese artillery, and the casualties were the greatest.

The second company was at the waist of the interspersed detachment, and was advancing to the south side of the 1214 heights, when it was suddenly attacked by heavy artillery fire from the Vietnamese army, and more than 30 people were killed and wounded immediately.

Company commander Wang Shitian and instructor Gao Shaolin rushed forward desperately, and the Vietnamese artillery shells chased the second company, and many people fell along the way.

After rushing through the No. 78 and No. 51 heights, the second company had suffered more than 50 casualties.

The formation of the third company was disrupted by artillery fire, the deputy company commander and the five platoon commanders were all killed, and the deputy battalion commander Zhang Renlong was also shot and wounded.

Wang Jianchuan, a soldier of the Third Company, who had been charging forward, fell under artillery fire, ending his life at the age of nineteen, and the blood soaked the diary on his body and stained the poems he wrote to his mother red.

The platoons of the company repeatedly attacked Heights 1072 and 76, but they were all repulsed by the condescending Vietnamese troops and suffered heavy casualties.

The commander of the 118th regiment still ordered a regiment to gather personnel to continue to capture the 1072 heights, and in desperation, the deputy battalion commander of Dun Jingtian personally led the team to attack 5 times in a row, hitting two platoons, leaving only more than 20 people, and finally captured the surface position of the 1072 heights.

Company Commander Wang Shitian of the Second Company was sacrificed, Deputy Company Commander Cong Ming was sacrificed, Instructor Gao Shaolin was seriously injured, and Deputy Instructor Wang Bin was captured.

Three companies, three companies of deputy company commanders and 5 platoon commanders were killed.

Liu Changyou, commander of the 40th Division, ordered the division to run the regiment to use the 122 howitzer to indicate the direction, and the high ground where the shells fell was the direction of the 1072 heights.

As a result, this move was really good, and the scattered fighters quickly gathered together and launched an attack in the direction indicated by the howitzers, which was only what could be done for the first battalion at this time.

In the difficult situation of the chaotic dispersion of the troops at great sacrifices, the first battalion did not break up, and not a single person retreated, and those lost soldiers fought in groups of three or five, where there was gunfire, and fought tenaciously on various heights.

The platoon led by Xiao Mubai was the last to arrive at the position, but at the same time, it was also the most complete unit structure, with the fewest casualties among the soldiers and no single soldier.

However, the row was not too late.

In the entire second company, only one platoon suffered casualties of less than 15 people, and the other platoons were more than 20 people, that is, almost half of their platoon lost their combat effectiveness.

The entire command level of the second company was terminated, and the ability to control the troops was almost lost.

After crossing Heights 1214, rushing past Heights 78 and 51, and arriving at the foot of Heights 1072 and 76, the official battle began.

The position of the Vietnamese army is on high ground 1072, where Vietnamese devils who do not know how many troops are stationed.

The 40th Division occupied the 662.6 heights in 7 minutes, such a powerful record was that the troops lost nearly half of their troops, and the desperate charge was completed, and I don't know if the high-level commanders behind would feel blush.

"Malegobi." Xiao Mubai slammed his fist on the dirt, and couldn't help but scold when he saw the soldiers in front of him die one after another.

Our troops marched to the foot of the high hills, did not dig fortifications, did not make a slight repair on the spot, and began to charge to the death. At present, the strength of the soldiers who are interspersed has been exhausted, and rushing up the mountain at this time is equivalent to sending them to death.

However, those generals sitting in the command headquarters did not understand this, they only knew to let the soldiers charge to the death.

The three-hour intersperse, although it is not yet to the limit of a soldier, is also good to take a little breath. However, no, Deputy Battalion Commander Dun Jingtian was still directing the first battalion to charge.

A row is also one of them.

"Platoon commander, Battalion Commander ordered us to rush."

There is a well-groomed battalion headquarters below the position, and there are signal corps here. As soon as the platoon led by Xiao Mubai arrived, it was seen by the sharp-eyed communication soldiers, and after requesting again, the order to charge came.

Xiao Mubai looked at the communication soldier, and wanted to beat him up, he had no strength to rush here just now, so he didn't let people rest.

"Let's go!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Mubai took people to prepare to go over. He didn't want to start an argument right now, or the Overseer wouldn't be standing idly by.

When I arrived here just now, Company Commander Wang Shitian had already died, and Deputy Company Commander Cong Ming had also died, leaving only Instructor Gao Shaolin seriously injured and falling into a coma at the foot of the mountain, and Deputy Instructor Wang Bin was charging above.

All the high-level leaders of the Second Company are not there, otherwise Xiao Mubai would have been held accountable at this time.

Xiao Mubai gave an order, and the soldiers followed behind one after another, following him and preparing to pass. After what happened just now, now the soldiers threw themselves on Xiao Mubai's five bodies, and responded in groups with an order.

When the squad leader saw that this direction was wrong, he immediately became anxious and ran over to stop Xiao Mubai.

"Platoon commander, how do you go this way?"

Xiao Mubai was stopped, and when he saw the doubt in the eyes of the squad leader, he immediately became a little angry.

The first squad leader is a confidant of Platoon Commander Wu, and he usually doesn't take Xiao Mubai, a person who doesn't lead soldiers, seriously, he touched a nail in front of Xiao Mubai just now, how can he bear it when he finds an opportunity at this time.

Xiao Mubai hates these people who don't take human life seriously, and only knows how to drill up. If it weren't for the lack of a good reason, or else, he would want to rip off his squad leader's skin right now.

"The frontal soldiers of our army are very dense, and they cannot play the role of a large number of people, and the frontal charge has suffered a lot of casualties, and we are waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the enemy on the flank, so we can play a greater role and give greater support to the front."

Although he didn't want to explain, Xiao Mubai still said it again. Of course, this is to explain to the other squad leaders, otherwise they will also be confused, and it will not be beneficial for the subsequent battle.

As soon as Xiao Mubai explained, some smart people quickly understood.

There are very large casualties on the front, and going up is equivalent to sending them to death, and no matter how bad the side is, the time to live is always a little longer, and maybe you can find a breakthrough point, so you can make meritorious contributions. As soon as he thought about it, several squad leaders stood in line to support Xiao Mubai, and immediately shouted.

"Xu Wang, don't talk nonsense, listen to the platoon leader."
