"Go home for us! Go home for us......"
Xu Yongjian's shouts have been echoing in my ears, making me can't help but burst into tears, I really want to go back to see them, and I want to go back and snatch them out and run away together, and even want to go back and die with them...... However, I resisted the urge with the last of my senses. Because I know that if I go back, other fighters will go back with me, and that is definitely not the result I want to see, nor is it the result that Xu Yongjian and others want to see.
So I had to wave my bayonet and keep rushing forward and killing with tears in my eyes. The Vietnamese army soon understood that our purpose was to break through the encirclement, so they pulled out one after another to block it. But the fighters were ready to rush to the end, so no matter who met them, how many enemies stood in front of them, they all waved their bayonets and rushed forward......
Blood kept splashing in front of us, and screams kept ringing in our ears. The quality of the Vietnamese army is not high, and they did not flinch from the sudden offensive of our army, but they lost because they did not think that we would not move, and they attacked in the direction of the forest with all their strength, coupled with the condescending geographical advantage of our army, so we quickly broke through their defensive line.
"Bang!" With a bang, I knocked down two Vietnamese soldiers one after another with the butt of my rifle without a pause, and the fire of the incendiary bomb was red and the 'gloomy' forest appeared in front of me, and I didn't have the slightest room to think about it, so I just plunged into it.
The soldiers also followed in rows behind them, although there were too many uncertain factors in the forest, such as whether there were Vietnamese soldiers inside who were not killed by our shells, and whether the Vietnamese soldiers had laid mines, bamboo sticks or other traps in it...... However, at this time, we don't rush to think about it so much, because we only have this way to live, we have no choice, it is possible to survive if we go in, and there is only a dead end if we don't go in!
"Da ......" The gunfire soon rang out, and sure enough, there were still surviving Vietnamese soldiers inside. Just as we will have soldiers surviving on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, even if the US army turns over our positions several times, it is impossible for us to bomb a single soldier left.
But it doesn't matter, because at this time the Vietnamese troops in the forest can no longer pose a threat to us, their forces are not many, and at this time, they are under a burst of artillery bombardment by our army, and they can't stop us from breaking through.
"Don't look back! Kill everyone who stands in your way! "While shouting at the soldiers, I casually raised my gun and killed the two Vietnamese soldiers in front of me who 'shot' at our army.
"Yes!" The fighters answered, and as I ordered, they 'fired' with their submachine guns and rushed forward.
"Mortar! Mortar Shooter ...... "I yelled around a few times, but the light in the forest was dim, so I couldn't find out where the mortar shooter was.
"Here!" Two fighters quickly ran to my side, and that's the difference between a well-trained unit and a recruit unit. If it were a recruit unit in this case, not to mention that I could still give orders, I would be screaming movingly, but I am afraid that I would have become like an ant on a hot pot long ago.
"Are there any incendiary bombs?" I asked out loud.
"And!" The mortar man replied: "But it's too dark to see clearly, I don't know which one!" β
"Throw them all out!" Without saying a word, I stopped my steps, grabbed the mortar shell handed by the soldier and knocked its tail wing into the trunk of a nearby tree, and threw it with all my strength at the Vietnamese troops who were catching up from behind.
"Boom!" There was an explosion, not a fuel bomb.
The two mortar shooters seemed to understand my intentions, and immediately grabbed the mortar shells and threw them one by one......
"Boom ......"
Then all of a sudden, a huge fireball ignited behind us, and in an instant, several Vietnamese soldiers screamed and waved around with flames all over their bodies. Finally, one of them was an incendiary bomb, and the flames from the incendiary bomb were connected with the flames in other directions, temporarily blocking the Vietnamese troops who were following us.
"Let's go!" Seeing that my goal had been achieved, I shouted and pursued the main force with two mortarmen who were charging forward.
I don't know how long we ran, but the sound of gunfire and explosions gradually faded away from us, and the pace of the soldiers slowed down, until at last it was as if they had made an agreement with each other, and everyone stopped, some sat on the ground, and some held on to the branches.
I also couldn't stand it anymore, and after several days of fighting and running wildly for a long time, my physical strength was seriously overdrawn at this time. The warriors are also human beings, and they are not iron-beaten, so of course there will be times when they are tired.
I found a protruding stone and sat down, and I ordered out of breath: "Count the number of people!" β
The two of them, the hometown man and Li Zhifu, immediately stood up and gathered their men together, and after a while, they came up and reported: "There are 22 people in the 5th Company, 31 people in the 6th Company, and 5 members of the 'shooting' team......
"What about the four companies?" I asked casually.
"Report to the battalion commander!" A soldier stood in front of me and replied in a slightly choked voice: "Four companies of 25 people!" β
"Hmm!" Seeing that the person standing in front of me was no longer the familiar Xu Yongjian, I realized that the Fourth Company had become a company without a company commander because of Xu Yongjian's stay.
"You're going to be the acting company commander!" I nodded to the soldier standing in front of me and said, "Until Company Commander Xu comes back!" β
"Yes!" The warrior was upright, but tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
The soldiers also fell silent, and they all stood up and turned back, saluting in the direction of Xu Yongjian and the other soldiers.
After putting down the military salute, I gave an order to the soldiers: "All of them, keep going......"
The soldiers also knew that this was the time of life and death, and we finally rushed out of the enemy's encirclement, and it would be too unjust to let them catch up now, so they followed me.
"Camp Commander Cui!" Ruan Wenqin came up and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to really rush out, it's unimaginable......"
"Your troops have nothing to lose!" I asked.
"There are only three people left!" Ruan Wenqin looked at the side and said with a wry smile: "But it doesn't matter, we should have died a long time ago, and it is luck that we can still live until now!" β
"I want to ......," I turned to Nguyen Van Yen and said, "At this time, you should have a better chance of surviving separately from us!" β
This is a fact, Nguyen Van Quan and the others were originally from guerrilla fights, and the Vietnamese army was tracking us, so if Ruan Van Qin and his party left at this time, they could easily avoid the Vietnamese army with their familiarity with the jungle.
Ruan Wenqin smiled, shook his head and replied: "Don't say such things again in the future, otherwise you won't treat us as brothers!" β
I didn't say anything anymore, knowing that the reason why Nguyen Van Yen chose to go with us was because I was worried that we would not be able to survive because we were not familiar with the jungles of Vietnam. In fact, Nguyen Van Qin's idea is also right, we can say that we don't have much time to prepare for this breakthrough, and at the same time, it is also to reduce the weight and run fast, so we don't carry much dry food and ammunition 'medicine', in case we run into the Vietnamese army because of the unfamiliar terrain or starve for a few days and nights and can't get out of this forest, it will also leave us with a dead end.
But with the help of Nguyen Van Thien and his party, it is different, they have very rich experience in jungle warfare, and they can give us a lot of help.
Later facts also proved that my idea was right, Nguyen Van Giang and his family have been fighting guerrillas in the jungle for many years, so they naturally have a set of methods for survival, such as how to eliminate the traces behind them, not to mention the suspicious formation, they will even use bamboo sticks, stones, grenades, explosives, etc. to make traps and mines all the way behind, so that there will be a few explosions behind us from time to time......
This will not only slow down the speed of the Vietnamese army tracking us to a great extent, but also tell us the current location of the Vietnamese army and the distance from us in another way.
As for the shortage of supplies for our army, Nguyen Van Thien and others also have a good solution. As Nguyen Van Thien said, they can survive in the jungle without any food at all. I was skeptical of this at first, but after a while it turned out that they could do it.
Because for Ruan Van Quan and others, the jungle is their home, there is an inexhaustible supply of food everywhere, and their skills are really eye-opening for me and the soldiers, when I am thirsty, I can use a small bamboo tube to 'plug' into the branch of the plant to get water to drink, when I am hungry, I catch small animals and pick wild fruits, snakes in the grass, rats in the 'holes', and unnamed plant tubers are all their food. It's just that the more troublesome thing is that the strength of a few of them can't fully satisfy our team of more than 80 people, so everyone often has to go hungry.
I regret that in order to avoid the Vietnamese army, we usually have to travel at night, and during the day we disperse and hide in the jungle stone 'holes', so that some soldiers will be accidentally separated. So our numbers were getting smaller and smaller, and there were eighty-three people, and after a few days of walking, there were sixty-five left.
We don't know how many people will be left to return to China if we continue to walk down, but we know that we must go, because the soldiers have a firm belief: as long as they have a breath, they must return to their homeland, even if they climb, they must climb back, and they will die on their own land!
