Chapter 47: The Battle of Tongdeng (17)

When they were about to get into the dark tunnel, the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and I didn't think about it, so I lowered my head and got in.

It was hot and oppressive, and there was a faint smell of blood and corpses in the thin air. I think the reason why I think this corpse smells so bad is because we just crawled out of a large pile of high-** corpses.

turned on the flashlight and shone into the dark passage, the space was not narrow, enough to accommodate more than 20 people, but there were two corpses of Vietnamese soldiers at the bottom that were placed horizontally, which made people 'very' uncomfortable.

The soldiers followed one by one, and when they saw this, they didn't speak, and sat down in two rows in the dark passage. Hu Shaowen panted vigorously, and Shunzi's eyes looked at the mouth of the 'hole' from time to time......

"Company Commander Cui, I'm going to seal the 'hole'" Seeing that we all got into the secret passage, Xu Yiguo whispered outside the 'hole'.

"Wait......" Shunzi Teng stood up, and after three or two clicks, he ran to the mouth of the 'hole' and whispered: "Let me take two more breaths, you can help and fan the air from the outside into the ......"

"Are you ashamed?" Yang Songjian glanced at me, and then pulled Shunzi to sit down.

"Seal the 'hole'" I ordered outside the 'hole': "After going back, let Commander Zhao shoot a few fewer flares, and you can't stop hitting them all, so as not to make the devil suspicious."

"Yes" Xu Yiguo responded, and several soldiers sealed the log with their hands and feet at the mouth of the 'hole', and then piled up the soil. Although I didn't see what happened after that, I knew that Xu Yiguo and the others would try to make the loose soil as solid as possible, and finally put the marks made by the Vietnamese army, so as not to find a place for the Vietnamese army.

Although there is no substantial difference between the sealing of the 'hole' and the non-sealing of the secret passage, in such a closed space, it will bring a lot of psychological pressure to the soldiers. In particular, there are two Vietnamese corpses emitting a foul smell in this tunnel......

I'm still good, I've long been used to hiding in the tunnels on the Korean battlefield, and I'm used to seeing this kind of scene. But the warriors had never experienced such a thing, and they were all too nervous to speak.

Hu Shaowen's sweaty breathing became more and more intense, as if something was stuck in his neck; Shunzi nervously took a flashlight to shine on this person and that person, sometimes not on the two corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers, as if he was worried that they would suddenly come back to life; Yang Songjian was fine, he didn't say anything and didn't make strange movements, just closed his eyes from time to time and took a deep breath; The calmest ones belonged to my hometown and Li Shui'bo, but I found that my hometown people took out their cigarettes twice and just wanted to light them, but they quickly realized that they were really not suitable for 'smoking' in this oxygen-deficient environment, so they put the cigarettes back again......

"Try not to speak," I said in a gentle tone, "don't be nervous, keep your breathing even, this will save oxygen ......"

"Company Commander" Before I could finish speaking, Hu Shaowen said to me with a pale face: "I, I can't stand it, let me out, I don't want to stay here."

"Get out? How do you get out now? Yang Songjian asked rhetorically.

"Don't go out," said the hometowner, "It's very likely that you'll meet the devils ...... when you go out now."

"I'm not afraid to meet the Yue devils" Hu Shaowen shouted with a crying voice: "Company commander, please, I can't stand it, even if the Yue devils are killed, I don't want to stay here, I want to go out, let me go out......"

"Huo ......", before Hu Shaowen finished speaking, a military thorn pressed on his neck. I stared at Hu Shaowen's eyes viciously and said, "Listen to me, we have no turning back, if you continue to stay here, then it's no problem." If you say it again, you want to go out......"

I raised my head at the two corpses at the bottom of the tunnel, and said in an unquestioning tone, "Then you will soon be like them, do you understand?" ”

Hu Shaowen looked at the cold light of the flashlight on the blade, and couldn't help but nod in horror.

I glared at Hu Shaowen fiercely again, and glanced coldly at the soldiers who were looking at me in a daze, and then withdrew the military spur.

After this incident, the fighters looked at me a little strangely. I knew what they were thinking, and they were blaming me for not doing it to my own people, especially a teenager like Hu Shaowen. But what they don't know is that I have to.

Because I know very well that when a person is afraid, when he is on the verge of collapse, he will do anything. Hu Shaowen was on the verge of collapse just now, if he didn't use the thunderbolt to suppress his fear, then he would probably raise the AK47 in his hand and yell at us: "Dig the 'hole' and let me out...... I'll kill whoever doesn't let me out."

And I know that this fear is contagious. If Hu Shaowen's fear is not suppressed, then there will soon be a second and third Hu Shaowen...... This often happened in ancient times when cold weapons were fighting, and a person dreamed in the barracks at night and screamed in terror, which quickly transmitted the fear to other people, and then triggered a large number of people in the barracks to kill each other......

These fighters around me have not been on the battlefield for a few days, and it can be said that their psychological endurance is still quite poor. Especially since they have never killed anyone in a war, they suddenly killed so many people in the past few days, experienced several life and death, and even watched their comrades sacrifice by their side......

I'm not a psychiatrist, but I know that they all have an energy in their hearts that they can't release. This energy will burst out at any time, and once it erupts, it will be the kind of venting that is desperate and at the same time does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy

Especially now, when we are in an extremely closed environment because of our mission, and no one knows what is going on here......

That's when I realized that maybe my biggest enemy was not the coming enemy, but these comrades sitting next to me.

There was a sudden low cry in the dark tunnel, and the soldiers turned their heads and found that it was Hu Shaowen secretly wiping his tears.

"What are you crying about?" The hometown handed Hu Shaowen a handkerchief: "The company commander is right, you made a mistake and wanted to be a deserter, do you know?" You don't want to think about it, if you go out and let the Yue devil slaughter it, it doesn't matter. We're going to let the Yue devils suffocate to death inside. It doesn't matter if we die, this task can't be completed, how many people do you say will die in the storming of the Guitun Fort? What if it were me...... I'll stab you twice too."

As soon as the people in his hometown said this, the faces of the soldiers also softened. I couldn't help but look at the people in my hometown with emotion, in fact, I also wanted to talk about these truths just now. It's just that when it comes out of the mouth of a third party from the hometown, the persuasiveness is naturally completely different.

"That's why I said Shaowen," the hometown patted Hu Shaowen on the shoulder again and said: "Just like the company commander said, there is no turning back when we come to this point, let's just be determined to stab the devil's nest fiercely."

"Yes, give those devils a bit."

"For the sake of those sacrificed comrades, let's fight"

"In order to reduce the casualties of our comrades, even if we sacrifice, it is worth it"

……

At this time, I finally knew why cadres always have to sing red face and white face. The people in my hometown thought that they had been instructors for several years, so they understood this truth very well, so they came out at this appropriate time and sang a white face...... Our strictness and leniency, and our persuasion have played a very good educational role for the soldiers.

"Stop...... "At this moment, I seemed to hear a few strange noises, and hurriedly raised my hand to signal the soldiers to be quiet.

"Bang bang bang ......" is the sound of stones hitting the dirt, and the warriors can hear it clearly as soon as they calm down. Suddenly, everyone became nervous, and everyone picked up their submachine guns and prepared to rush out.

I glanced at the warriors and said, "What are you doing?" Forgot they were here to 'save' us? ”

Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but smile awkwardly, put away their weapons knowingly, and fell to the ground one by one pretending to be weak.

"Boom......" I slammed the butt of my gun against the log on top a few times, and soon there was a digging sound from above.

I beckoned to Li Shui 'Bo' and asked him to stand in front and prepare to deal with the Vietnamese army.

This is also the reason why I have to prepare two Vietnamese speakers, once the Vietnamese army has dug through the secret passage, it needs a Vietnamese soldier to deal with the Vietnamese army outside the secret passage, and there must be a Vietnamese soldier who is ready to respond in the secret passage, otherwise it is very likely that they will 'show' their feet.

Li Shui's 'Bo' has a good psychological quality, and he is also very familiar with the names of the ranks of the Vietnamese army, so of course he is dealing with the Vietnamese army outside. And the one who dealt with the Vietnamese army in the secret passage was naturally Hu Shaowen.

The Vietnamese army moved quickly, and it was obvious that they wanted to get us out as quickly as possible, so it didn't take long for the log at the top of the tunnel to be revealed. A few rays of starlight poured in through that little 'hole', bringing a glimmer of light to our dark passage. A breeze blew, which made our 'spirit' can't help but be uplifted.

That's when we realized that although the air was filled with the smell of corpses, it was really nothing compared to not being able to breathe......

"Is Comrade Major Hu here?" The Vietnamese troops outside the 'cave' shouted at us.

"No," Li Shui 'Bo' replied very dryly: "He should be trapped in a secret passage behind us, I don't know"

Of course, Li Shui's answer to the Vietnamese army at this time was in Vietnamese that I didn't understand, and I didn't know what they were talking about, so I wasn't nervous at all. After listening to Li Shui's 'wave' talk about it, I realized how wise Li Shui's 'wave's answer was.

If Li Shui 'wave' said at this time...... Then it's over, and the Vietnamese army will definitely identify which one is Major Hu. And Li Shui's 'wave' is such an understatement: maybe he is trapped in a dark passage behind...... And so the problem was solved. By the time they dug through the back section of the tunnel and found that there was no Major Hu, we might have already started a fight in the Guitun Fort

As soon as he went out, he whispered to the Vietnamese soldiers outside: "Comrade, thank you for the lack of air inside, if you don't come again, we will all suffocate to death." Several comrades fainted......"

On the surface, these words sounded like thanks, but in fact they were hinting at the Vietnamese army, a few comrades who were waiting for the meeting, if they didn't speak, it was normal

One by one, we were dragged out, and I don't know how many I was in line, but when we were dragged out, we all dressed like dead fish and gasped for breath.

"Comrade, can you still climb?" A Vietnamese officer whispered: "We can't carry you up the mountain, that will let the Chinese find out."

"Yes" Li Shui 'wave' responded, and then used our company's special sign language to signal to crawl forward.

Although we couldn't understand what the Vietnamese army was saying, we could understand the gestures, and Hu Shaowen couldn't understand the gestures but understood Vietnamese, so it was no problem, and they all pretended to turn over with difficulty, and then struggled to follow the Vietnamese soldiers to climb the Ghost Tun Fort on the Pingding Mountain.

Climbing on the slope of Pingdingshan, I was happy, and I thought that the Vietnamese army would confirm our identity in the process, but I didn't expect them to do it at all. I think they didn't expect that someone would bury themselves in this secret tunnel where it was difficult to even breathe, plus they were bent on "rescuing" us as soon as possible, and it would be dangerous to delay a little longer outside, so they didn't doubt our identity at all.

But things are not so simple, just when I was secretly rejoicing in my heart, suddenly a flare lit up on my head, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and lay motionless. After a while, when the light of the flares had dimmed, we dared to raise our heads again and crawl forward.

At this time, I had a strange feeling in my heart that we had to guard against our own people's flares. Merely...... I think Regiment Leader Zhao and the others should have discovered us, and now they may be secretly happy that we have successfully deceived the Yue devils

The flat-topped mountain is not high, but under the interference of the flares, the group climbed and stopped, and it took more than half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. At this time, the military uniforms on our bodies had already been worn to the ground by the rubble, and the edges and corners of our bodies were also scratched with blood. But the soldiers didn't know the pain at all, because our attention had long been focused on the black ghost fort in front of us.

This is the first time I have observed the Ghost Forts from such a close distance, and from the outside, it is black and inconspicuous, as ugly as a steamed bun. But I knew that in this seemingly small fort, there were at least a thousand well-trained Vietnamese soldiers......

The Vietnamese officer looked around, knocked three times on the iron door, and after a while, knocked twice, and the iron door slowly opened in front of us with a rumbling sound......

"Quick" the Vietnamese officer waved at us and yelled at us in a deep voice.

Even if we couldn't understand Vietnamese, we knew that he was worried that our army would take advantage of the opportunity to open the iron 'gate' to launch a surprise attack, so we were asked to hurry in.

Of course, we were not polite, and one by one we got up from the ground and rushed towards the iron gate. While running, he strapped a flashlight to the barrel of the AK47......

"Wait" Just as I was about to step into the iron 'gate', the Vietnamese officer who was covering the 'gate' stopped me, and a pair of small mouse-like eyes aimed at me. I soon realized that this guy had found a flaw, because we were weak just now, but now we are all alive again

But it was too late for him to realize that something was wrong, and before the Vietnamese officer could react, I had already 'drawn' a military thorn and nailed it to his neck.

He wanted to scream, but he couldn't make any sound because he was stuck in his vocal cords by the military stab, only a little grunt in his throat. He put one hand around his neck in pain, pointed at me with the other in shock, and then at the other Vietnamese soldiers as if to remind them...... But it was still too late. I had already 'drawn' the pistol on my waist and "banged ......" a few times, and easily knocked down the Vietnamese soldiers who met us one by one.

In a way, I should be taking revenge by doing this, after all, they worked so hard to "rescue" us, and there is no merit and hard work. However, I like this kind of "revenge" because it means that we can defeat the enemy without much effort.

The battle soon began, and there were several steps up the iron gate, which connected to the small door of the first fort. We have long understood this from the old militia He Guoan. Without saying a word, the first few soldiers to get into the iron 'gate' pulled a few grenades and threw them in......

Listening to only a few explosions of "boom ......", a powerful gas 'wave' with a pile of cement blocks erupted wildly from the small 'gate', and along with these came out the screams of the Vietnamese army.

The soldiers pressed the flashlight on the barrel as fast as they could, and one by one the cats bent down and got in......

"Bang bang ......" The gunshots soon rang out.

When we rushed in, the Vietnamese soldiers inside were already lying on the ground, and the grenade exploded in the enclosed space, and the damage caused by the impact 'wave' would increase exponentially, and those Vietnamese soldiers were either killed by shrapnel or stunned by the shock 'wave'. All we have to do is to shoot the Vietnamese soldiers who are struggling on the ground. Several other Vietnamese soldiers struggled to raise their guns to resist, but were quickly knocked to the ground by us

After a few minutes, we had no trouble occupying the first level of the battery. But difficulties arose when attacking the second layer. If we follow the drawings drawn by the old man He Guoan, entering the second floor is nothing more than a passage down, and we can condescendingly throw grenades or even explosives 'medicine' bags down...... But upon closer inspection, we found that the passage had been transformed into a staircase of more than a dozen floors, and that it was blocked by machine gun fire in the bunker, and there was no way for us to enter the second floor from the staircase that only allowed one person to pass through

But at this moment, several red 'colored' signal flares rose in the sky. Seeing that we had successfully stormed the fort, Commander Zhao gave the order to attack so that the inside and the outside could be combined
