Chapter 14 Commander
"Stealth forward!" With a wave of my hand, I scattered with the warriors, approaching the gorge under the cover of thatch.
Before he had taken a few steps, the bearded man followed: "Comrade! Which part are you? ”
"What for?" I asked unceremoniously. Then he looked at the soldier behind him who was knocked unconscious by me, as if he understood something, and replied disdainfully: "I am Cui Wei, the platoon commander of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Company, 2nd Platoon, even if I go, if I can come back alive, I will not be afraid of punishment!" ”
Without looking back, he bent his waist and dived in the direction of the canyon.
A platoon of more than 30 people carefully gathered in the grass in front of the valley mouth. I raised my binoculars and looked into the canyon, it was so dark that no one knew what danger would be inside.
Will there be mines? I couldn't help but frown. Because the canyon is very narrow, not many shells fell in the canyon when our artillery was ready. If the enemy had planted mines in the canyon beforehand, it would have been much more difficult for our platoon to quickly pass through there!
Perhaps, we could blow it all the way through with a grenade, but that would undoubtedly slow down our time through the canyon...... The most important thing about this 'intersperse' is to be fast, and if the Vietnamese troops on the hilltop position react, then we will have no hope of success.
"Is there a difficulty?" I don't know when the bearded man climbed next to me again, and also raised his binoculars to look at the canyon. While watching, he said to himself: "Alas! This black grunt! The cannon can't blow up, it's definitely a good place to bury mines, and this is to be ...... from here."
"You have so much less nonsense! Is it a way? I asked angrily.
"Hey...... That's all you have to say! The bearded man was happy when he heard it: "I'm afraid you won't let me take care of it!" What do you think? I'll bring in a mortar company and blast you all the way! ”
Sure enough, it's a good way, this canyon long-range cannon can't hit it, but as long as the mortar is aligned, there will be no problem. But on second thought, this bearded man is to transfer a mortar to the company, which is not something that ordinary people can do!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him twice and asked, "Who are you?" Don't bluff me! ”
"Me? Bluffing you? The bearded man pointed to his nose and smiled: "Can this scare you?" Did the mortar come up or not, you can tell at a glance? As for who I am...... I'll tell you when you come back alive! ”
Saying that, he ignored me, turned his head and gave an order behind him: "Xiao Chen, immediately transfer a mortar company!" At the fastest speed! ”
"Yes!" The soldier called Xiao Chen began to call into the walkie-talkie without saying a word.
Seeing this, I also believed seven or eight points, and I couldn't help but regret it a little in my heart. This bearded man doesn't look like a small person, so the soldier I knocked down with the butt of a gun just now must not be a fuel-efficient lamp!
Hi! Whatever! When I can really come back alive, I won't even be afraid of death, and I'm afraid of being punished by a bird.
A few minutes later, the mortar company came up, and one by one they skillfully set up the guns behind us and adjusted the Zhu Yuan, which also proved that the bearded man was not an ordinary cadre. But at this time, I didn't care about so much, grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered my comrades on the 386 heights: "1 platoon, 3 platoon!" Listen to my orders and concentrate your fire on Position 1! Repeat, listen to my orders and concentrate fire on position No. 1! ”
"Yes!"
……
On the phone, Yang Songjian and his hometown replied, and then after a while, there were two "ready" answers.
I turned my gaze to the beard, who nodded at me as if he was ready.
"Listen to me!" I shouted into the walkie-talkie, and at the same time into the bearded man, "Ready...... Put! ”
"Boom......" dozens of 'doors' of mortars roared at the same time. Above the canyon, artillery shells blew up the No. 1 position, and several 'strong' machine guns fired rows of bullets at the No. 1 position at the same time, and in an instant, the Vietnamese army's approach to the canyon was wrapped in layers of gunsmoke, and even in this daytime, there was not a trace of the Vietnamese army.
Looking at the canyon again, the valley, which was so narrow that only three or four people passed side by side, exploded one after another, lifting up stones from the bottom of the valley and causing the trees to fall aside.
It was then that I realized that my fears were entirely warranted, because in my binoculars, each shell would always cause a chain of explosions, not only on the ground, but also on the trees and cliffs......
So I couldn't help but marvel at how advanced the mines are now.
Who would have thought that there were mines hanging from the trees? Warriors are always accustomed to advance under cover, and trees are undoubtedly a good cover, but if warriors lean against them...... There is a high chance that a mine hanging from a tree will be triggered. Moreover, this air-exploding mine, it can be imagined that the lethality of its fragments is also extraordinary!
Who would have thought of a mine on a cliff? It is likely that its trigger was on the ground, and instead of blowing up a person, it was a sudden rain of stones overhead......
These dog-day devils are really cunning, if I hadn't thought of this beforehand, I'm afraid that one of our platoons wouldn't have enough people to blow up those mines!
"Comrades! Try to walk on the crater! Above! "Watching the artillery fire stretch deeper into the canyon, I rushed towards the canyon with my soldiers as soon as I gave the order.
I can't guarantee that all the mines in the canyon have been cleared, in fact, no one can guarantee that. I can't really say what a mine is, and when the grenade doesn't explode! Sometimes it's okay to press it twice with a tank, and it explodes as soon as the person goes up. But at this time, we didn't have time to think about it so much, and we could only blame ourselves for our bad lives when we were bombed!
As I stepped into the canyon, I looked back. I admit to the lack of confidence in the fighters, because they have never been on the battlefield. I don't want to be stupid and rush forward like a bare-bones commander with no one behind me. But this look is reassuring, none of the soldiers flinched, including the old crying nose Shunzi, and even Hu Shaowen, the little ghost, followed me closely.
As soon as I stepped into the canyon, a choking smell of gunpowder smoke hit my heart and lungs, and I couldn't help coughing. The 'gloomy' inside the valley and the lingering smoke everywhere make visibility very low. But that didn't stop us from passing through the canyon quickly, because the mortars were still bombarding ahead, and we just had to follow the bombing point and the firelight......
Suddenly the explosions stopped, and I knew that it was the comrades of the mortar company who stopped the bombing for fear of accidentally injuring us, after all, they could not determine our position in such a low visibility situation.
So I hurriedly shouted at the fighters: "Speed up!" Rushing out of the valley is victory! ”
Shelling and demining is certainly beneficial, but at the same time, it will also expose our intentions to the Vietnamese army. As long as the Vietnamese army has a little brains, they will guess that since we will use mortars to clear mines, someone will definitely pass through here, so they will soon send someone to fill the gap.
Obviously, if they succeed in sealing the exit, then our platoon fighters will never survive. So, the most important thing now is speed, speed, or speed......
"Boom!" There was an explosion behind him.
It's a landmine, and my heart can't help but jerk.
"Platoon commander! Someone has struck a thunderbolt! "I heard someone shouting behind me.
At this moment my mind stalled for half a second, but in the second half I shouted to the back: "Leave him alone!" Keep going! Kill! ”
"Kill!" The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the light outside the smoke, where there was light was the sun, and where there was sunshine was the exit.
It's close! It's closer!
Maybe the Vietnamese army has not recovered from the mortar bombardment just now, maybe the Vietnamese army is very relieved about the minefield in this canyon, or maybe they didn't expect that we would break into this place of death, so they haven't organized a defense until this time.
Just as I was about to rush out of the valley, I suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to signal the warriors to stop, and then waved my palm diagonally. The warrior understood, and soon pulled the grenade and threw it diagonally outside the valley mouth!
......The roar of grenades was accompanied by the occasional screams of the Vietnamese soldiers, and even a Vietnamese soldier was thrown into the canyon by the shock 'wave' of the grenade. The head hit the rock on the ground, and it bloomed like a broken chicken' egg.
I won't say more, with a wave of the gun, the fighters got out of the valley under the cover of grenade smoke.
There were also three bodies of Vietnamese soldiers outside the valley mouth. They were very smart and knew that they couldn't effectively live in the canyon with the strength of a few of them, so they waited outside the valley mouth. But what they didn't expect was that just as they were about to give us a bullet as we rushed out of the canyon, rows of grenades suddenly flew from below......
After protruding from the valley mouth, we are presented with the anticline of the 386 Heights. More than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers apparently discovered the situation here, and were rushing towards the valley mouth with AK47 cats in their arms. At this time, I suddenly saw us protruding from the valley mouth, and I couldn't help but be startled, and I raised the submachine gun in my hand in unison.
But it was too late, we were prepared to rush out, and we were under the cover of artillery shells and grenades, while the Vietnamese army was completely 'exposed' under the dazzling sun, and this contrast determined that the Vietnamese army was half a beat slower than us. And life and death are between this half beat......
"Bang bang ......bang" After the gunshots rang out, the dozen or so Vietnamese soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they could pull the trigger. Then the soldiers quickly deployed their forces according to my orders.
As I walked forward with my waist bent, I kept pulling the trigger of the rifle in my hand, and as pools of blood burst in front of me, one by one the Vietnamese soldiers fell under my guns.
The quality of the Vietnamese army is not high, but they are at fault in underestimating the enemy. They always thought that it would be enough to put those dozen people in charge of *** Taniguchi, so the others were defenseless at all and still focused their attention on the hilltop position. However, when they realized that the dozen or so comrades sent to Taniguchi had fallen in a pool of blood, it was too late to turn around and deal with us!
In fact, they were also in a hurry, after all, there were many Vietnamese soldiers on the anticline, twenty or thirty at a glance, and this is not counting those hiding in the tunnels. Obviously, there are so many people that we can't take them all down in the first place. It's just that what the Vietnamese army didn't expect was that as soon as they turned around, they faced the dazzling sunlight, and they couldn't see anything as soon as their eyes 'flowered'...... By the time they saw their target, they saw that the bullet had been 'fired' into their heads!
But to be honest, I didn't dare to aim at the head of the Vietnamese army in this situation. Because I know very well that if I aim for the head, I can already hit three enemies in the same amount of time it takes to hit one. The Vietnamese army is all 'elite' soldiers in a hundred battles, and now they just caught us off guard, and once they are relieved, it will not be the current situation, so I dare not be careless.
"Bang bang!" As soon as I finished firing the last two rounds, I crouched down to reload as quickly as I could. The fighters around me also cooperated very well, and when they saw me loading, they immediately replenished them to cover for me.
When I raised my rifle again to knock down the two Vietnamese soldiers, I found that there was nothing to knock down on the anticline except for the corpses and the "naked" and "exposed" holes.
"Wow......" There were a few strange noises beside me, which made me turn my head in confusion, only to find that the faces of the soldiers were all ugly, including the Li Shui 'Bo' who hated the Vietnamese army to the core. At this time, I suddenly remembered that it was the first time they had killed someone, and it was the first time they had experienced this scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"The battle isn't over yet!" I said coldly, focusing my attention on the corpse-strewn battlefield in front of me again, and said, "There may still be enemies in the tunnel, pay attention to the enemies inside to shoot cold!" One shift, clean up the battlefield and greet the pit with grenades! The second and third squads cooperated with the frontal troops to attack the hilltop position! ”
"Yes!"
The warriors answered, and marched in two parts.
I sat down with a butt, the overall situation has been decided, and the rest of the matter is not a *** heart. Those Vietnamese troops on the top of the hill lost the support of the main force on the anti-slope and could not hold out for long at all, not to mention that they were still being attacked from both sides by our army.
Sure enough, after a while, the shouts of the soldiers came up one after another, and the three companies on the slope launched another charge, and soon occupied the entire high ground. It's just that what makes me a little laughable is that some of the recruits of the 4th and 6th companies may have rushed too excitedly, and after occupying the hilltop position, they rushed all the way down, and then shouted at us in a broken Vietnamese with their guns raised: "Nuokong Songpage!" "Loyal to the magnanimous poisonous soldiers! ”
drip! Looking at the hands of those recruits who were trembling nervously, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: This did not die at the hands of the enemy, maybe it will die at the hands of these recruits!
"Blind your dogs!" Junko stopped in front of me without saying a word, and shouted at the recruits who didn't know what to do: "Don't you see that we are our own people? Also promised empty pine page...... If we hadn't stabbed the Yue devil in the back, I'm afraid you would have gone to Lord Yama and called 'Nuokong Songpage'!" ”
With a coax, the warriors laughed at the overwhelmed recruits. In the laughter of the soldiers, I heard their self-confidence and pride. It should be said that the two people in front of me are both recruits, but their 'spirit' state is completely different.
The soldiers under my command are like veterans who have been through several lives and deaths, they already know the cruelty of war, and they also know how to win this battle and try to save their lifeline. And the other person standing in front of them was still stunned who didn't know anything!
"Platoon commander! There's a live one here! At this time, Alziri dragged a Vietnamese over and threw him in front of me, saying, "I don't understand Vietnamese, what about Hu Shaowen's little ghost?" Let him ask, and see what he can ask? ”
"Hu Shaowen is over there, I'll call him to ......"
I glanced at the Vietnamese soldier on the ground, who had been shot in his right hand, which may be the reason why he could not continue the fight. The blood and dust on his body made him look embarrassed, but his eyes stared at me fiercely, and his left hand secretly moved into his arms......
"Bang!" The gun in my hand rang out. The Vietnamese soldier's head "fluttered" and a ball of blood 'flowers' burst out, and he fell to the ground without snorting and never moved again.
The soldiers were startled by my shot, and some of the recruits were stunned as if they were 'cramping', and then they all looked at me with puzzled eyes.
I know why they see me this way, before we went to war, the order from the higher authorities was to "treat prisoners preferentially", which seems to be a consistent tradition in our army. But...... They soon discovered that preferential treatment of prisoners did not make the slightest sense in this war.
Without speaking, I picked up the body of the Vietnamese soldier with my rifle, and the soldiers realized that he was holding a grenade in his left hand.
"You have to remember one sentence!" I glanced coldly at the soldiers around me and said, "From the moment we step out of the country', only the dead are safe!" Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" The soldiers around me couldn't help but shudder, and some didn't even dare to meet my gaze!
"Platoon Commander Cui......" Company Commander Li put away his pistol and walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "This battle is beautiful, and I have real skills!" I'll serve you! ”
Then he turned to the fighters and shouted: "Comrades, you fought so well! Successfully completed the mission! The head of the regiment said that he would repay you for it! ”
"Regiment Commander...... "Soldiers, listening to it, you can't help but look at me, I look at you, it's a little strange."
I was also a little suspicious, saying that our battle had just ended, so why did the regiment commander know the result immediately and know so accurately that it was our platoon that we were the culmination.
"That's right!" Company Commander Li turned around and held my hand: "The regiment commander also mentioned you, saying that he wanted to meet you......"
"See me?" It makes me even more strange when I hear that.
"That's right!" Company Commander Li nodded and said, "He also praised you for having brains and abilities!" No, he's coming! ”
Looking back in the direction indicated by Company Commander Li, I couldn't help but be stunned, what appeared in front of me was a smiling beard!
