Chapter XXII: Reinforcement Mission

Platoon leader! ”

"How's it going? Platoon leader! ”

As soon as Company Commander Li and I returned to the trenches, we were surrounded by soldiers, all of whom looked at me with indignant eyes, and some of the soldiers even rolled up their sleeves, as if they were ready to go to Commander Zhang for comment!

"It's also called platoon commander............" Company Commander Li actually made a joke at this time on a whim, and after he made a 'look' at me, he pretended to be unhappy and said: "He is no longer a platoon commander, and I am not a company commander anymore!" ”

"What? Really punished? ”

"Dismissed?"

"Let's go, let's find the head of the regiment to comment!"

"That's right! Why should we be punished if we win the battle, we won't fight this battle! ”

"If you want to punish us, we'll also be punished!"

Hearing Company Commander Li say this, the soldiers broke out on the spot, and then I noticed that the people from my hometown, who were originally squatting in the corner of the trench and were not nervous at all, turned around and looked at us suspiciously. So I understood that if it was just a report from Regiment Commander Zhang, it would be impossible for my superiors to know about my meritorious deeds along the way.

It must have been this guy's ghost, and he put the head of the regiment together.

Seeing that the soldiers were really going to settle accounts with Regiment Commander Zhang, Company Commander Li couldn't hold back any longer, and caught up with him in a few steps, holding his stomach and laughing while stopping the soldiers.

"You laugh and tweet"

Seeing Company Commander Li like this, the soldiers were a little confused. You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what's going on.

"Cui Weihe," Company Commander Li explained intermittently, "he is not a platoon commander...... It's the company commander! ”

"What, it's the company commander?" The warriors didn't dare to believe it, and they all looked back at me.

I smiled wryly and nodded.

"Is that the company commander of our company?" Junko asked again.

I nodded again, "The cheers soon rang out on the battlefield, as if a battle had been won." Yang Songjian and others hugged me warmly and congratulated me.

In fact, I have been the company commander of this company for a long time, but now I am justifiably in this position, "and I don't have to be separated from the soldiers, so I naturally have a different feeling in my heart."

Li Liancha ...... "I walked up to Commander Li and wanted to say something, after all, I occupied his position, but he was demoted by one level." But as soon as I opened my mouth, he stopped me.

"Don't say more if it's a brother!" Company Commander Li said: "Also, I am no longer the company commander, call me the deputy company commander!" ”

I looked at him apologetically and said, "I didn't know my superiors would arrange it like this!" ”

Company Commander Li patted me on the shoulder and smiled, "You don't know!" It's very uncomfortable to be your company commander, you know that Yu, you command and fight all day long, "You can fight and command more than my company commander, so that I, the company commander, will listen to you!" It's good to win this battle, but where will my old face go! Others...... Others secretly call me, soft rice, company commander, do you know? It's the kind of ...... that relies on your subordinates to fight."

"I'm sorry!" I said this from the bottom of my heart. I can feel his pain, I know that he is also a straightforward person, and with his temper, he can also bear this anger, it is really not easy.

"Gotcha! If it's a brother, don't say that! Deputy Company Commander Li laughed: "This time I can be regarded as a relief, when you are a soldier!" Don't do that Rausch anymore, soft rice, company commander! Do a good job, if you have a few more "soft rice, battalion commander," soft rice, the regiment commander will come out and take out this evil breath for me, and I will be satisfied! ”

"Hmm!" I thought about it for a while, and then I understood what the deputy company commander said, soft rice, battalion commander, "soft rice, what's going on with the regiment commander, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly." Don't say, "The deputy company commander is really right, if I become the company commander, I will have the opportunity to let the battalion commander and regiment commander who are in charge of me become a "soft rice......

"Company Commander Cui!" At this time, a correspondent came up from the 'Jiao' trench and reported to me: "The regiment commander and political commissar have asked you and the deputy company commander to go immediately!" ”

I glanced at the deputy company commander and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes. We had just come out of the regimental headquarters, and we were immediately asked to go again, for fear that there would be some emergency this time.

As we expected, as soon as we walked into the regiment headquarters, we saw Regiment Commander Zhang, Political Commissar Huang, and several chiefs of staff gathered in front of the map to discuss something: "As soon as they saw us coming in, they immediately recruited us to the map."

"We just received a telegram from our superiors!" Regiment Commander Zhang pointed to a river on the map to the east of the Boron Heights and said: "This river is called Nagang River, and at Dongxi, which is ten kilometers away from our army, a tank unit of our front army has broken away from the cover of infantry and lost contact with the command." Now it is very likely to be besieged by the Vietnamese army, and it is defending alone, and the situation is worrying. Because our army is close to Dongxi, the higher authorities ordered us to immediately send a force to reinforce it! ”

"Company Commander Cui!" Political Commissar Huang lit a cigarette and explained: "I have already discussed with Regiment Commander Zhang just now" Our army's strength is also insufficient, and the only way to complete the task of garrisoning the Hu Heights and to reinforce the tank troops according to the order is to send a force that can fight!" Commander Zhang insisted on letting you go, and I think your new official took office, which is also the time for you to perform. What do you think? Do you have the confidence to complete the task? ”

"Yes!" I didn't think about it, so I replied. At the same time, he glanced at Captain Zhang, who pretended to look at the map to avoid my gaze. So I knew that Head Zhang was actually having a 'selfish' heart. But it doesn't seem to be to blame him, because I know that there is a soldier like me who stays in the army, and whoever stays in the army will feel uncomfortable, as the deputy company commander said.

"Good!" Political Commissar Huang nodded: "Time is pressing, we will immediately arrange for 9 connections to replace you down, you go and prepare!" ”

"Yes!" I saluted and walked out of the regiment headquarters with the deputy company commander.

"Fuck!" As soon as he got out of the regiment headquarters, the deputy company commander scolded in a low voice next to him: "I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect him to come to this trick "............"

"Deputy Company Commander!" I stopped: "The superiors do have a reason for thinking so, and they will send us because they can afford us!" ”

It's not that I'm talking big, it's because it's a habit I've developed over the battlefields of Korea. On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, "it is true that whichever unit is the most capable of fighting will fill in the most dangerous tasks." The units of the Chinese People's Volunteers are also accustomed to taking pride in receiving the most dangerous and difficult tasks. It's just that this doesn't seem to be the case in this era...,"

But no matter what, the result seemed to be the same, that is, I was given the most dangerous and difficult task wherever I went.

"What can afford us!" The deputy company commander whispered and complained: "A tank unit is besieged by the Vietnamese army" and sent one of our companies to reinforce? Even if you can kill it, isn't it still going into the enemy's encirclement? This head is really ......""

"Deputy Company Commander!" I stopped Deputy Company Commander Li with some displeasure, and ordered with a straight face: "Immediately organize the troops to change guards with Q Company, and prepare for the march!" ”

"Yes!" The deputy company commander answered and said nothing more.

The troops were quickly replaced, and if this had been before, it should be said that it was still a 'very dangerous' thing for the troops to change their defenses during the day, because the enemy would most likely take advantage of the change of defense of our troops to suddenly attack. However, as individual weapons have become more and more advanced, the danger posed by the sudden group charge of the infantry has become less and less, just as our company just did when it changed guards with the Ninth Company, as long as the troops of one platoon are on guard on the trench and one platoon is ready, and then one by one the battle angles are changed and finally the battle angle is finally withdrawn from the battlefield. Even if the Vietnamese army launched a surprise attack at this time, we were fully capable of repelling them.

After retreating from the battle line and making some preparations, we set out on the march. Because we were worried that there would be a 'fierce' battle when we encountered the Vietnamese army on the road, we once again went into the dense forest under the leadership of Hu Shaowen and a few other border people who were familiar with the terrain. In front were several squads of soldiers with swords to open the way to reconnoitre, and we followed behind on the march.

The march was difficult, even if someone was in front of them. The difference between the mountains of Vietnam and the mountains of North Korea is that the mountains of North Korea at least have roads and can make people identify where people have walked on them. And the mountains of Vietnam can't see the road at all, "Even Hu Shaowen, those border people who are familiar with the terrain, actually rely on the direction of the big sigh to move forward............

In fact, it is precisely because the mountains of Vietnam are like this that we can easily avoid encountering the Vietnamese army. After all, the Vietnamese army did not have enough troops in the border area at this time, and they had no way to arrange garrisons in these forests and forests.

But that's not what I'm worried about, because I know very well in my heart that as a road blind person, it's useless to worry about it, and it will be bad if I 'intervene'. It's better to 'hand' over the complete life of recognizing the road to those border people, and I just follow and go. Even if you end up making a mistake or getting 'lost', you can only blame it on bad luck.

What worries me is about this mission, as the deputy company commander said, a tank unit of our army is surrounded by the Vietnamese army, "the longer it means, the more troops the Vietnamese army will have, and we only have one company"...

We also have very little information, not to mention that we don't know anything about the enemy's troop deployment, and we don't even know how many tanks and how many people are in this tank unit that we want to rescue. It's even possible that when we work so hard to get in, we find that they no longer exist.

"Five-in-a-row, five-in-a-row! Where are you located? How close are you to the goal? The voice of Political Commissar Huang came from the walkie-talkie.

I glanced at the deputy company commander, and he went up and said in embarrassment: "Report to the political commissar, we don't know where the concubine is!" ”

"What the hell! The ten-kilometer road has been walking for more than three hours and has not yet arrived! The dissatisfied voice of Political Commissar Huang came from the phone: "At your speed, by the time you reach your destination, our tank unit will have been eaten by the enemy a long time ago!" Speed me up! ”

"Yes!" The deputy company commander responded. But after hanging up the walkie-talkie, he said dissatisfiedly: "Ten kilometers of road..." The actual distance is twenty or thirty kilometers, and it can be reached in three hours, and we all have wings and are about the same! ”

"That's it!" Shunzi casually waved a knife and cut off a Qingteng that was blocking in front of him, and then said: "Look at the road we walked, you can walk twenty or thirty kilometers in three hours, let them try ......,......."

"What are you thinking?" While I was pondering, someone from my hometown came up to me and asked.

"Hmm! I'm wondering how to complete the task! I replied, looked at the sweaty hometown, lowered my voice and asked, "You did it!" ”

"What? What the hell? "People back home are pretending to be confused.

"You don't have to fight with me!" I said angrily: "Look at how angry Captain Zhang is, I want him to know about this, there is your good fruit to eat!" ”

The hometown man smiled and replied, "I can't hide anything from you!" To tell you the truth, I haven't taken him as a regiment commander yet! ”

After thinking about it, he added: "I don't blow in front of you, even if I give you a reassuring pill" As long as I have me, no one will want to make small moves behind your back! Of course, you have to be able to fight well, otherwise I won't be able to help you often. ”

"I'm relieved to have you say this!" I smiled and said, "I don't need you to go through any back 'door' for me, I just need to fight without worries!" ”

"I know that!" The hometown people nodded with deep sympathy, and quipped: "I will leave the 'door' after leaving, and it will not be your turn yet!" ”

As they spoke, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

"There is a situation!"

At this time, Yang Songjian's voice suddenly came over the walkie-talkie, and I hurriedly made a gesture for the soldiers to stop and lower their bodies to prepare for battle.

I carried a sniper rifle all the way forward" The cat walked for a while and came to Yang Songjian, who was scouting in front, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" ”

"Over there!" Yang Songjian pointed his rifle at the opposite side.

It was then that I realized that there was a path not far in front of me, and on the other side of the path was a dense jungle. If you listen carefully, there is a clattering and clattering sound of chopping, and it seems that someone is walking over there!

Maybe it was the troops of the Vietnamese army, and when I thought of this, I immediately ordered into the walkie-talkie: "The first platoon, the second platoon, immediately occupy the favorable terrain and display the troops!" The third platoon paid attention to the flank of our troops, "in case the Vietnamese troops from other places come to reinforce!" ”

After all, this is the territory of the Vietnamese, and I have heard that the conscription age of the Vietnamese in this era is from the old age to the western age, that is, almost all adults can be said to be soldiers. But I don't think the range of the conscription age is really important, because Vietnam is actually a form of definition for both children and 'women' in Vietnam.

Because of this, "when I deploy my troops, I have to always be on the lookout for Vietnamese militia to suddenly come in from the flank or from behind." Although the combat effectiveness of the militia is really not to be worried, when the enemy and us are in full swing, their trouble-making will quickly tilt the balance of victory in favor of the Vietnamese army.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded, and soon the troops were set up under the leadership of the platoon commander.

The chopping sound is getting closer and clearer, and it is getting clearer and clearer" can still be heard occasionally with the click of some dead branches being trampled. I quickly deduced the strength of at least two companies of the opposing side, as the sound of the dead branches being trampled was far apart, indicating that their ranks were very long.

I slowly raised my sniper rifle and aimed it at the jungle on the other side, "The trees on the other side were very dense, and the branches and leaves in front of us were in front of me," so I couldn't see anything at all. So I quickly realized that in such jungle terrain, it was not suitable for snipers.

First of all, the field of vision is not wide, and the sniper rifle has a long 'firing' range and cannot be used, and even in this broad daylight, it is often necessary to get closer to one or two hundred meters before the target can be seen clearly. And this distance is already within the range of the AX Four.

The second is that there are too many branches and leaves, green vines and things like that in the jungle. These things seem inconspicuous, but the bullet is spinning at high speed, even if it can easily penetrate the branches or green teng blocking the trajectory, but the direction will change accordingly, so there is no 'shooting' precision at all.

The AK47 has no worries about this, because it is not based on 'precision' but on quantity. As soon as it pulls the trigger, it is a row of bullets, and even if the trajectory of these bullets is changed by a tree branch or other object, there is a high chance that it will hit the opponent if there are many of them.

This is also the reason why the U.S. military's M16 is superior to the AK47 in terms of 'precision' and 'firing' range, but it is not as good as the AK47 in jungle warfare.

Of course, that's just one of the points. It's also important to note that the AK47 Quad is strong enough to penetrate small trees in the jungle, which the M16 can't. Coupled with the fact that the M16 was difficult to maintain and the AK47 was largely maintenance-free, the U.S. military was eventually defeated in the jungle battle in Vietnam.

So I was a little worried about the situation of the battle between our army and the Vietnamese army in the jungle. Obviously, the standard rifle 56 and a half in the hands of our army is far from the M16 of the US army, so can it still fight against AK47? And now, the other party is still angry that there are two people in the company!

"All of them!" Thinking of this, I whispered an order into the walkie-talkie: "No one is allowed to shoot without my order!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

A few platoon commanders whispered answers over the intercom.

I've made up my mind that if the enemy doesn't find out, we'll treat it as if nothing happened, or we'll have to fight to the death......

But the ensuing scene could not help but surprise all of us, and with a cheer, a dozen warriors wearing red five-star and red collar badges came out of the jungle with machetes, and then more and more, and soon the mountain road was full of red 'colors'.

That's right! It's your own people.

Not to mention that those red 'colors' are very dazzling under the scorching sun, and the words they say are also in the Mandarin dialect, and most of the weapons in their hands are 56 and a half!

"Comrade! What unit are you from? My shout startled the soldiers, who had just emerged from the jungle, and they fell to the ground and raised their weapons.

But the misunderstanding was quickly resolved. Later, I learned that they were two companies of the 70th Army, and like us, they were also ordered to reinforce Dongxi.

Both forces were given the same mission, and we didn't even know each other. I really don't understand how the superiors commanded! But at least that's one thing that proves that we're not going in the wrong direction
