Chapter 204: Hold on

"Battalion Commander"

The first problem arose was the 33rd and 33rd pairs of highlands, and the communication soldiers with walkie-talkies on their backs came to me and shouted at me: "The 33rd and 33rd pairs of the two highlands are in an emergency, ask for support, ask for support"

At this time, where do we have extra troops to support the 33rd and 33rd pairs, not to mention that these two heights are far away from us, and because of the small area and low momentum, it is very difficult to defend, and it is not only too late or cost-effective to reinforce them......

So I gritted my teeth and pretended not to hear the call, and continued to pull the trigger on the enemy rushing in front of me, 'firing' bullets into their 'chests'.

After a while, I heard the signal soldier sigh and say: "33 and 33 sub-heights are lost"

I expected this, and I knew I couldn't do anything about it, but there was still a trace of guilt in my heart.

"Contact the regimental headquarters immediately" I took advantage of the time to retract my head and change the magazine and said to the signal soldiers: "Let them send reinforcements, the front line is about to be unable to hold"

"Yes," the correspondent replied, shouting into the walkie-talkie amid gunfire and artillery fire.

After a while, I heard the correspondent shout at me: "Our army's reinforcement route has been blocked by Vietnamese artillery, and Commander Wu told us to hold on no matter what."

"Damn the devils" I couldn't help but scold when I heard this, these devils are not ambiguous at all when they fight. And ironically, at the beginning, it was our artillery that completely overwhelmed the Vietnamese army and fought to our heart's content, but now it is the Vietnamese artillery that completely overwhelms us and wantonly blocks our army's supply lines and cuts off our contact with the rear troops......

Didn't a military strategist in the Soviet Union once say: "You don't need artillery to fight a war, that's a joke," and what we are fighting now is a war without artillery

Not long after, the "battalion commander" correspondent shouted at me anxiously: "150 heights are urgent...... 169 Highland Rush ......"

"Li Shui' wave" Hearing this, I couldn't help but shout into the radio: "What's the situation?" Why don't you report it?"

"The enemy broke through the defensive line...... Li Shui 'Bo' only came to shout these words urgently, and then he was busy fighting again, and after a long while, he hurriedly replied: "The battalion commander 169 Heights are afraid that he will not be able to hold them."

"You guys withdraw it for me at once," I shouted over the radio, "and Alziri, bring me all the members of the 'shooting' team...... Execute the order now"

At this time, I knew that there was no hope of holding on to Heights 150 and 169, and the members of the 'shooting' strike team were precious resources to our special forces, so I couldn't just let them sacrifice on those two heights senselessly. I need them alive and play a bigger role on the battlefield.

"Yes," Alziri answered, and immediately gave the order: "Retreat...... Withdraw 142 Highland ...... immediately"

At first, I thought he was busy fighting again and didn't pay attention to it, so I focused my attention on the Vietnamese troops rushing towards us in front of me. However, after a while, when Alziri returned to Heights 142 with his three remaining members of the 'shooting' team to re-engage in the fierce fighting, I sensed that something was wrong......

"Li Shui 'Wave' Li Shui 'Wave'...... "I shouted over the radio, thinking to myself that this guy wouldn't be sacrificed."......

"Battalion Commander......" The voice on the radio made me breathe a sigh of relief, but before I could relax my mind, I heard Li Shui' 'Bo' firmly reply: "I didn't carry out your order, I won't go back......

"What? What kind of fame" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and shouted at the radio: "I order you, come back to me immediately, this is an order......"

"Battalion Commander" Li Shui 'Bo' replied: "My brothers have all died, and Company Commander Feng and them are all good, no one has retreated, I can't leave them alone, if you want to die, let's die......"

Then, without waiting for me to say anything, he shouted loudly: "Goodbye, comrades, we will fight devils together in the next life...... The more devils, Lao Tzu fought with you"

"Platoon Commander Lee"

"Li Shui 'Wave'"

……

The soldiers all shouted in the direction of 169, but all they answered was a roar from the 169 heights and the screams of the Vietnamese army

Although the soldiers didn't see it with their own eyes, they all understood what was happening on the 169 heights, so they all raised their weapons and fired rows of bullets at the Vietnamese army, as if they wanted to vent all their anger against the Vietnamese army with bullets.

I sat back in the trench in a daze for a long time and didn't react, but I knew that this was not the time to be stunned, because any mistake I made was likely to lead to more casualties or even the destruction of the entire army. So I mustered up my spirit and put my rifle in the trench again......

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, I gave an order to the radio: "The 4th Company will move to the west immediately, and the 5th Company will move to the east, responsible for the defense of the east and north, and the members of the 'shooting' team will concentrate on the hilltop position to move and fight, and provide assistance to the troops in all directions at any time and report the situation at any time."

"Yes," the company commanders responded, and immediately followed my orders and moved in the direction I had specified.

The loss of Heights 150 and 169 not only threatened our flanks, but also because our supply lines were blocked by Vietnamese artillery, the Vietnamese army could safely and boldly attack us from the north, so we were now actually surrounded by the Vietnamese army. In other words, we now need to defend the four directions of the 142 Heights.

It's just that this limited number of troops made it a little difficult for me to deploy, but in the end, I still managed to find a way to use the SVD rifles in the hands of the 'shooting' team members to assist in the defense.

So far I have only ten 'shooting' teams left, and it is obvious that if I divide them evenly on all four sides, there are only two or three people on each side, which is not at all enough to form a lot of power, but if I put them on the top of the hill to move the defense...... These ten snipers can be quickly dispatched via radio and can provide fire assistance to either side at any time.

"Battalion commander" at this time, the communication handed the microphone up again and shouted: "Commander Liu's phone"

"Commander," I grabbed the microphone and said impatiently, "when will the shells arrive?" There is only our 142 heights left in the front-line position"

"The shells are on the way to be transported, and it is estimated that it will take seven hours," Liu Shunyi explained with some concern: "We used so many shells in the previous artillery battles that there was basically no stock of shells in the vicinity, and now we have to transport them across provinces...... What about your casualties? It took five hours for reinforcements to arrive...... What do you think? Will it stand up? ”

"Yes," I gritted my teeth and replied, in fact, as soon as I heard that the shells would take seven hours to arrive, I felt a chill in my heart, so what if the reinforcements could arrive in five hours? We don't have artillery and devils have artillery, and they can't easily lock up our supply lines with artillery fire. Even if they can rush up one or two troops, the Yue devils are not fools, and of course they know that there are ambushes on our supply lines......

"Battalion Commander Cui" paused, and Liu Shunyi asked with some hesitation: "Do you have a way to break through?" ”

"What? Breakthrough? Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it, I replied: "With the quality of our special reconnaissance brigade, I believe that there is no problem in breaking through."

I'm telling the truth, now the encirclement of the Vietnamese army is not tight,

"What if...... If you can't hold it, find a way to break through" Liu Shunyi said: "It's not easy for your troops to train, I hope you can bring them out"

When I heard this, I understood that Liu Shunyi was reluctant to let our troops be surrounded and annihilated here by the Vietnamese army like this, and I believe that at least part of this was because he did not want me, a prospective 'daughter', to die here. From this point of view, Liu Shunyi has some 'selfish' intentions, and I think this is also the reason why he is a little hesitant and embarrassed to speak.

But I didn't want to do this, because I knew the current situation on the battlefield very well, so I asked with a wry smile: "Commander, what will happen if we retreat?" Will the second line of defense of our army be able to hold it? Will Mount Faka hold it? What about artillery units? ”

As soon as I said this, Liu Shunyi was silent, because the battlefield situation was very clear, and our army did not expect that the Vietnamese army would send eight regiments with so many troops, and these eight regiments were all high-quality 'elite' soldiers and strong generals, even if the Vietnamese army lost three regiments in artillery battles and battles, there were still five regiments of 'elite' troops. On the other hand, our army ...... There are only two regiments in total, and Commander Wu's regiment is almost consumed because it has been pulled to the front line twice to fight, which means that our army is one and a half regiments at best, and the rest are all artillery, artillery without shells......

I have seen the individual equipment and combat capability of the artillery, and I thought that when I broke into the artillery position of the Vietnamese army with a special reconnaissance brigade of a company, I would be able to come and go on a rampage, and finally succeeded in blowing up dozens of 'guns' of the Vietnamese army at the cost of only one sacrifice...... The artillery of the Vietnamese army is like this, and the artillery of our army is not much better, and it should be said that this is also the common 'characteristic' of the artillery of all countries, after all, the subject of their training is how to fight* and not to fight on land.

Therefore, I really dare not imagine what the consequences would be if these five regiments were allowed to break through our defense line and occupy Phaka Mountain, and then 'insert' into the depth of our army.

As long as the 142 heights are not occupied by the Vietnamese troops, they will not be able to let go of the second line of defense of our army, and they will be able to ensure the safety of our artillery units, as long as the shells arrive...... Then all the problems are solved

Thinking of this, I said into the microphone: "Commander, I also want to keep the army in my hands, of course I don't want to die, but the price of doing so is too great, I can't sacrifice so many comrades for myself and let the troops suffer so many losses to protect myself." So...... Let's stay."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before Liu Shunyi replied: "You are right, but you must come back alive, Liu Yun is waiting for you, I am waiting for you, and thousands of people of the motherland are waiting for you."

"Yes" Liu Shunyi's words couldn't help but make my nose a little sour, but I know very well that now I promise to say yes, who can guarantee that I won't have an accident on the battlefield?

"Boom ......"

Before I could put down the phone and take a quick rest, a platoon of mortar shells exploded on our army's position, kicking up layers of muddy water and gunsmoke, and then I heard Arziri report: "Battalion commander, the devils are coming up, and there are three sides in the east, west, and south, and the south is the main attack."

Hmm, I couldn't help but smile lightly when I didn't hear anything from the north, the more devils have made a little success, and their tails are up again, thinking that with the current situation, they can easily defeat us, and there is no such trouble as being surrounded on all sides, but what they don't know is ...... They are going to deal with the first special forces of our army

"Get ready for battle," I shouted over the radio: "Comrades, the devils are trying to eat us in one bite, what should we do?" ”

"Give them a look," replied the fighters.

"Who are we?" I asked again.

"Special Reconnaissance Brigade"

"What are we here for?" I yelled with all my strength.

"Devil Killer"

"Kill them all," I shouted at the soldiers, "and leave none of them behind"

"Kill them all, kill them all......"

The soldiers shouted one after another from the guns, and this cry almost drowned out the explosions on the battlefield, and even the Vietnamese death squads who were charging towards us could not help but stop.

Soon the gunshots rang out, and so did the explosions, and the warriors immediately entered the battle in a full state of 'spirit'. Although by this time we had lost our geographical advantage due to the loss of heights 150 and 169 on the flanks, and although our forces had been too scattered by the increase in the direction of defense, our combat effectiveness was not reduced because of this.

With a "boom", a cannonball fired from the 169 heights lifted a soldier into the air, and all the fighters thought that he had been sacrificed, but he got up from the ground again strongly, but he stood several times without success, and took a closer look to find that his right 'leg' and right hand had been blown off. However, he did not give up the fight, only to see him crawl to the grenade box with difficulty, grit the grenade with his teeth with his only remaining left hand, and then threw it under the trench one by one...... With a loud explosion, dozens of Vietnamese soldiers who were about to rush up were stubbornly blocked by him, until he shed the last drop of blood and sacrificed, he still had a grenade in his mouth tightly biting the fuse rope......

"Da Da ......" The Vietnamese army, with the two heights of 150 and 169, slightly higher than the 142 heights, set up a machine gun on the top of the hill and condescendingly fired a lot of bullets, a soldier raised a rocket launcher and was about to 'fire' at the enemy's machine gun position, but unfortunately he was hit in the 'chest' by several bullets, we saw him fall to the ground, thinking that he had left us from then on. But what he didn't expect was that he could barely move with his hands when he fell to the ground, but at the end of his life, he used his last bit of strength to adjust the 'shooting' angle of the bazooka and then pulled the trigger...... The Vietnamese machine-gun position turned into a ball of flames in an instant, and the soldier finally exhaled his last breath and closed his eyes.

"Killing" several members of the Vietnamese army's death squad rushed up with an AK47 with bayonets on their hands, and viciously plunged the bayonets into the 'chest' of an oncoming soldier, but just when they wanted to rush over this soldier and rush to our army's trenches, they were stunned to find that this soldier was carrying a white smoke explosive 'drug' bag behind him...... after a burst of fire, more than 20 Vietnamese soldiers turned into blood along with the heroic spirit of the soldier

This is the soldier of our special reconnaissance brigade, this is our Chinese soldiers, although I know that we may not be able to achieve the final victory in this war, although I know that we may not be able to return alive, but I know one thing, we will never bow our heads in front of the Yue devils, and we will never give in to them

What is the Vietnamese army? When they come up, we kill one

What is a death squad? If you dare to die, we will dare you die

With a "bang", I knocked the butt of a gun to the ground with a viet devil who rushed into the trench, and then 'drawn' the dagger and nailed his neck to the ground. At this time, the Vietnamese soldier who was pinned to the ground by me was still pulling his neck in pain and kicking his legs hard......

Before the Vietnamese soldier could breathe, I casually 'drawn' the dagger in my hand, and I didn't look at the Vietnamese soldier who exhaled his last breath and put the knife back into its sheath without looking at it.

"Clean up the battlefield and count the number of people" I shouted to the soldiers: "Pay attention to collect bullets, don't let go of a devil"

"Yes," the warriors replied in unison.

When the war enters a certain stage, when we have fought with the enemy to the extent that either you die or I live, when we no longer care whether we can live or not, our only bit of human 'nature' will disappear without a trace, and we will be very indifferent to everyone's life and death, whether it is the enemy, our own, or our comrades......

At the time, we didn't think it was anything, and when we think about it, it's scary. Sometimes I wonder if if I spend more time on the battlefield, will I become a murderous maniac who has no regard for life?

I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to Comrade Li Shui' Bo for his participation in the self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. In the process of carrying out tasks on the unnamed high ground southeast of Dai Nai, he repelled two attacks by the Vietnamese army in succession. When the enemy tried to take prisoners alive, he resolutely grabbed the blaster, lit the fuse and rushed into the enemy group, killing six enemy soldiers and dying. In the same year, the leading organ of the army posthumously recorded a first-class meritorious service for him, and was awarded the title of Yang Gensi-style combat hero by the Central Military Commission.
