Chapter 32: The Battle of Tongdeng (2)

The sound of gunfire came and went, and the whole battlefield was full of joy, and everywhere was the dirty water and mud that had been blown up by the shells

I turn my gaze to my own attacking troops, and I can say that this is not going to be a good place to attack. The 'intertwined' rice fields in front of the village became the first barrier of the Vietnamese army. Perhaps the Vietnamese army did it on purpose, and they poured a lot of water into the rice fields. This made the fighters attack very slowly, one foot at a time, and sometimes they couldn't even pull out their feet.

Time is of the essence, and this saying is especially true on the battlefield. As soon as the soldiers slowed down, they undoubtedly became the target of the Vietnamese army. So groups of soldiers rushed forward desperately, and another team fell under the guns of the Vietnamese army.

The infantry is like this, not to mention those tanks of Battalion Commander Wu. Although the Type 63 tank was an amphibious tank, the water in the rice field was not enough to levitate it, and several tanks were stuck in the mud and unable to move before they could drive a few meters into the rice field. Seeing this, the other tanks could only stare dryly, and all they could do was to line up a few of them for use as batteries, which could not provide the necessary cover for the infantry attack at all.

"How? You guys connect it" Regiment Commander Zhang looked at the Vietnamese soldiers in those villages with fire-breathing eyes, and said fiercely: "I don't believe that I can't beat it, I'm going to tear up all these dogs."

I hesitated and said, "Wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Head Zhang was a little angry: "The sun is about to set, still wait"

I didn't reply, but took a few steps forward, motioned for a communications soldier who was hiding behind a rock, holding a walkie-talkie, to get out of the way, and then set up a rifle on the rock.

It is more than 800 meters away

I have to admit that I have never hit such a long-distance target on the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The reason is simple, the M1 rifle has a range of only 700 meters. Will this SVD rifle in my hand work? I don't know, but I've heard Li Shui 'Bo' say that this rifle seems to have considerable lethality at a distance of 1,000 meters, so it doesn't hurt to try it.

Regiment Commander Zhang and the correspondents all looked at me with some inexplicability, and they didn't know what I was going to do, because they didn't believe that anyone would be able to hit the enemy at a distance of more than 800 meters.

"Bang" a gunshot sounded, and a Vietnamese soldier with a Soviet-style light machine gun swept at our army with his head tilted and fell into the trench, and at the same time, the machine gun also became a dumb bar.

Commander Zhang couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh", and the soldiers around me all looked at me with shocked eyes. However, I didn't care about this, my eyes were still fixed on the position of the machine gunner, and at the same time, I secretly rejoiced in my heart: this SVD sniper rifle really didn't cover it, and the 'precision' accuracy was still so high at such a distance.

At this time, another Vietnamese soldier came out, and the machine gun was like that, and when a machine gunner fell, someone would soon come up and take over, which I expected. So he pulled the trigger lightly............

"Bang" was another gunshot, and before the Vietnamese soldier could get his machine gun in a hurry, he fell to the ground on one side.

I couldn't help frowning, it was clear that this time it was the body of the Vietnamese soldier, and I was aiming at his head.

I didn't stop, I raised my gun one after another, and "bang-bang......" a few points of 'shooting' until I emptied all the bullets in the magazine.

Ten rounds eliminated nine enemies, and those Vietnamese troops did not pay attention to hiding themselves at all because of the 'fierce' battle with our army, so it did not seem difficult to target them. And the shot that missed was because the target was very lucky to fall......

However, this time it was seen that Regiment Commander Zhang and the soldiers around him were all dumbfounded.

"Hey, it's really you" Looking at me who put away the rifle and retreated, Commander Zhang couldn't help but pat me on the shoulder: "No wonder I can make such a big contribution, I really have two hands"

I smiled, didn't dare to stop for a moment, quickly put a position and took out my binoculars to carefully observe the position of the Vietnamese army.

Of course, I 'revealed' that hand just now not to show off in front of Commander Zhang, nor to help the soldiers assist, but to observe the movements of the Vietnamese army and the movements of reinforcements

Having fought on the Korean battlefield for three years, I certainly know that the most important point in dealing with the "refueling tactics" is to find the enemy's "refueling" opening, and as long as we find this opening and find a way to block it with firepower, then this "oil" will naturally not be replenished.

If you want to find this "mouth", then you must know where and from what direction the Vietnamese army is reinforcing you. I just wiped out nine of the Vietnamese army's front-line troops in one go, and the pressure they faced with our army's attack forced them to replenish their troops from the tunnels.

This...... That's what I want

Watching several Vietnamese soldiers emerge from a bunker and divide into two directions and fill up the gap in the trench to the battle line, I knew that the exit of the tunnel must be in that bunker.

Knowing this, I have the bottom in my heart. Immediately summoned the people from his hometown, Yang Songjian and Li Shui'bo' several platoon commanders, pointed to the dark fort and said, "Do you see that dark fort?" Concentrate all your mortars and adjust the yuan, I will give the order, the mortars and recoilless guns will be divided into several batches and blow up the bunker in turn, not breaking for a second, at least five shells at a time"

"Yes," the three of them nodded in response.

"Company commander" Yang Songjian looked at the dark fort, and said with some worry: "That dark fort is a few meters thick, to say the least, the mortar is afraid that it will not work......

"If you want to blow it up, you will blow it up, what are you doing with so much nonsense?" I replied angrily.

Yang Songjian's worries are justified, and those who have fought in the war know that if a bunker can be blown up with a mortar, it is not called a bunker. Moreover, most of the bunker was buried in the earth, and only a little above the 'shot' hole was 'exposed' to the ground. But what he didn't know was that what I was going to bomb wasn't actually the bunker at all.

The "company commander" from his hometown added a sentence at the end: "What if the shells are finished?" ”

Without thinking, I replied: "After the shells are fired, this village is ours"

"Yes" Although the three of them said so, their eyes were full of doubt, they didn't understand why I was so confident, Commander Zhang's two battalions couldn't be defeated, right? Can I knock it down in a company? And before the mortar shells were finished?

However, they were suspicious and did not hesitate to carry out my orders.

After "Commander Zhang" arranged this, I ran back to Commander Zhang and said, "Let the fifth company go up, but I need Battalion Commander Wu's tank to provide us with a few minutes of fire cover."

"No problem, this is the Ninth Company that I asked me to arrange above, and you cooperate with them to take down this village" Regiment Commander Zhang may have seen my marksmanship just now, so he has confidence in me.

After thinking about it, he squeezed out a few words fiercely in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to take prisoners"

"Yes," I replied, waved my hand, and led the warriors up.

"Walk on the corpse" was the first order I gave me.

No one responded, and I think they all shivered in their hearts. Because the corpses along the way are our own comrades-in-arms, who have just fallen, but we have to ......

But one thing is clear, that is, only by stepping on the corpse can our feet not stumble over the mud, and we can move more quickly, and only then...... We don't have to be a new corpse.

This method is actually very simple, and the other troops are not stupider than us, they are just reluctant and unbearable, and they sometimes even bypass the corpses of these former comrades-in-arms and current martyrs. As a result, this rice field is covered with corpses in different postures, horizontal, vertical, lying on their stomachs, and lying on their backs......

Actually, I can't bear it, but I have to do it because I want to avenge them, kill all the Yue devils in front of them for them, and save the lives of more comrades

So, foot after foot, stepping on the corpses and blood of the warriors, especially the warriors who were lying on their backs, when I stepped on it, their bodies would naturally bend, their eyes would protrude, and blood would burst out of their mouths and noses because of the squeezing...... This will give them the illusion of pain, and although I know that they are dead and will not feel anything again, my heart will still hurt as if I have been slashed.

But I gritted my teeth and stepped on it step by step. I am the commander of this company, and if I show a little bit of intolerance, the soldiers of the whole company will soon follow suit.

At this time, I only thought about the words of Commander Pang: "To become a successful commander, you must not only be ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to your own people"

"Boom ......" Several mortar shells exploded near us, and the sewage and sludge rained down from the sky. The Vietnamese army soon discovered our new offensive force, and immediately divided a part of its firepower to block it.

At this time, the fire cover I asked for was also fired, and the Type 63 tank and the mortar that Regiment Commander Zhang himself added for me were fired in pieces, and the anti-aircraft machine gun also made a loud noise, and the Vietnamese position was instantly smashed into smoke.

A few minutes later, we ran to the line where the Ninth Company was suppressed, which was only more than 400 meters from the enemy's position. But I didn't order the fighters to stop, but went straight over their lines and continued to rush forward.

The cover of fire in the rear immediately stopped, which I had expected a long time ago, not that our artillery shells were finished, but that they were afraid that they would accidentally injure their own people.

Therefore, this is the time when the Vietnamese army comes out of the tunnel to replenish the casualties, that is, when the mortars of our company take effect.

With my order, the mortars that had already been set up smashed towards the dark fort one by one. Although I couldn't see anything in the smoke, I could imagine that there were groups of Vietnamese troops coming out there, and I wanted to replenish the front, but suddenly another shell came. The shells hit them right on the head, and it didn't seem to stop......

The gunfire soon rang out, and I leaned down in front of a field as fast as I could, raising my sniper rifle in my hand. And the fighters also have a tacit understanding to cover each other's advance. One team stopped to organize fire cover, and the other team took the opportunity to charge forward.

It is clear that the firepower of the Vietnamese army is much smaller than before. This should be the credit of those soldiers who served as cover in the rear, and the frenzied and indiscriminate bombardment of tank guns, mortars, and high-altitude machine guns will bring some casualties to the Vietnamese army in any case. In addition, the exit of the Vietnamese army has been blocked by us with mortars, so they are now fighting one less one.

"Bang bang ......" a few bullets came out of my sniper rifle, although there was smoke in front of me, but the evening sun still smoothly pierced through the layers of smoke from behind us like a sharp sword, and then placed the helmets of the Vietnamese army in front of me one by one.

The number of Vietnamese troops on the front line was originally small, and there was only a platoon of a few dozen people in front and behind. The "refueling tactic" is like this, the "refueling tactic" we used on the Korean battlefield, that is, there are more than a dozen people on the hilltop position, and after fighting one, one person will be added......

However, at this time, the Vietnamese soldiers could not put the position on the ground, and the battle situation suddenly became one-sided, and after a while, the soldiers of the fifth company rushed to a distance of only 50 or 60 meters away from the Vietnamese army, and then, under the incredulous gaze of all the soldiers, they threw a row of grenades, shouted "kill", and broke through the position of the Vietnamese army

By the time I got up from the muddy water, the fighters had easily disposed of all the Vietnamese troops in the outer trenches. None of the Vietnamese soldiers surrendered, all the Vietnamese soldiers were dead, only the bright and dark bunkers were still alive, and they were still sending out rows of bullets.

But the firepower of the bunker has dead ends, and without the cover of other Vietnamese troops, it is just a turtle shrunk in a hard shell. Several fighters easily circled to its flank, then threw two grenades through the 'shot' hole, and after two muffled sounds, there was no sound in the bunker.

This very different scene made the soldiers of the other troops all 'scratch' their heads, especially the Ninth Company, which was still attacking just now, they can be said to have launched several fierce attacks and failed to take this village, but now they saw that we solved it in three or two clicks like a trick, so they all stood up from the muddy water and looked at this scene in a daze.

Even the Fifth Company, which had knocked down the positions of the Vietnamese army, was a little inexplicable. They watched the other troops fight so hard, and the wounded were sent down in rows, and they had long been ready to fight fiercely, but they didn't expect it to be so easy......

But I knew that the battle was not over, and I changed my position, like the crosshair of a sniper rifle being tightly aimed at the 'shooting' hole of the bunker.

If there is a tunnel in there, then it is impossible for a few grenades to kill all the Vietnamese soldiers in the bunker, and they can be replenished from the tunnel. And I believe that the Vietnamese army will also seize the moment when our army relaxes its vigilance and suddenly launch an attack.

As I expected, after a while, I saw the 'Ting' machine gun in the bunker move...... It was pitch black in the bunker, and I couldn't see anything, but I could see the barrel of the 'strong' machine gun moving...... So I pulled the trigger without thinking.

There was a "bang", and I didn't see the enemy falling, only the barrel lowered.

The soldiers reacted quickly to the gunshot, and quickly threw several grenades into the bunker in quick succession, but I knew that it was not enough......

After rushing to the bunker with a rifle in three or two steps, he snatched an explosive bag and set it under the iron gate.

"Spread out," several fighters hurriedly shouted loudly when they saw this.

A few seconds later, with a bang, the entire iron 'gate' was blown into pieces and flew in.

I took a few soldiers to take a look, and there were black 'touches' and 'touches' everywhere the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers, piled together like a hill, and a few of them seemed to have been smashed to death by the fragments of the iron 'gate'. When I turned on the flashlight, the flesh and blood were blurry, and some of the Vietnamese soldiers had blown up the grenades several times, and none of them had a piece of complete 'flesh' on their bodies at this time......

Then I looked at the inside of the bunker, and the warriors all understood that a snake 'hole'-like hole was hiding in the bunker

I don't know who reported the head of Zhang, he squeezed in to take a look, and suddenly said: "It turned out that this trick was played, I said that the devils in this village can't beat him cleanly no matter how they fight."

Head Zhang scolded fiercely, turned around and left.

"Regiment Commander" someone asked behind him: "This tunnel...... What to do? ”

"What else can I do?" Commander Zhang blushed and turned his head with a thick neck and shouted, "How many of your explosives 'drug' bags are stuffed into me"

With a loud bang, the sunset set from the sky, but the mouth of the tunnel rose into the sky.

The order to "build fortifications in situ defense" soon came down.

The soldiers immediately began to act, but I was invited by Regiment Commander Zhang to the temporary regimental headquarters.

"You guys fought very well," Regiment Commander Zhang said with a pale face, "but we still failed to complete the task, in fact, all the troops failed to complete the task today......

"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask a little strangely, "Haven't we already laid down Tanso?" How can you still say that you haven't completed the task? ”

"That's just a forward position of Tanmou," Commissar Huang explained: "Around this village, more than a dozen high grounds, large and small, are guarded by the enemy, if every high ground is so difficult to fight......

"What? Just a frontier? I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"It's because we underestimated the enemy's strength," Commissar Huang shook his head and said, "Where did this information come from, saying that Tan Mou only has a reinforced company?" There is more than one company in this forward position, isn't this killing people?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly, there are still more than a dozen highlands here, if they all fight like this, then we won't wait for us to capture Tan, I'm afraid that our regiment will be exhausted......
