Chapter 114: The class 'door' and 'get' the axe

Chapter 114: The class 'door' and 'get' the axe

Our resting camp was only a dozen miles away from the garrison of the 43rd Army, and we turned left and right along the highway in the not densely populated houses, and sometimes 'plugged' into the alleys under the leadership of Wu Changhui, which made me a little dizzy and confused about where it was.

But fortunately, I didn't need to worry about all this, I just led the soldiers all the way to follow Wu Changhui, and after more than half an hour, I saw more and more military vehicles and soldiers coming and going on the roads and streets, and occasionally I could see a few 'doors' of cars and tanks pulling howitzers roaring past us. Gunfire and artillery rang out not far ahead.

Looking at those howitzers and medium tanks, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. It is said that if you see a few 'guns' or tanks of our army on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, you will definitely be treated as treasures by the soldiers. Not to mention these large-caliber howitzers now, I still remember that when the Battle of Ganling was fought, several 'guns' of small-caliber mountain guns handed over from the little Japanese were reluctant to lose them!

But now, it seems that all this equipment is nothing to make a fuss about in the eyes of the soldiers.

"It's here!" Just as I was thinking about it, Wu Changhui pointed to a small alley in front of me and said, "That is where our camp is stationed, and there are still a lot of empty houses, enough for you to camp!" ”

I looked up around the alley, and although I didn't know what it was, I saw that the houses on the south side of the alley were close to the foot of a hill on a high ground, so I quickly understood that this was another 'finely' selected location that could be protected against long-range artillery bombardment by the Vietnamese army.

Anyway, my wounds have not been completely closed, and my physical strength is much worse than before after a few days of high fever, so this more than half an hour of marching really makes me a little unbearable, at this time, as soon as I saw that I had reached the destination, I hurriedly waved at the soldiers and took the lead to drill into the alley, but I was stopped by Battalion Commander Wu after a few steps......

"What are you doing? Walk without looking ahead? ”

"What?" When I looked up, I found that there were a bunch of tanks parked neatly in the alley, because the alley was dark and I was a little dizzy, so I didn't notice it at all, and I almost crashed into a tank in front of me just now.

"Battalion commander!" Alziri followed up from behind and quipped: "It doesn't matter if you hit the tank, I'm afraid our Liu Hygienist will be distressed......"

There was a sound of "eating" behind him, and I think it was Liu Yun's special care for me during this period of time, which had already made these monks in the army "red-eyed".

I smiled bitterly and quipped: "I don't think it's going to crash, if the tank is damaged, I can't afford to pay for it!" ”

There was a coaxing, and all the soldiers who followed behind were amused by my words, and even Battalion Commander Wu endured it with a smile.

The alley is very narrow because it is stuffed with tanks. The troops felt that they had changed from two columns to one column, and they were moving forward along the tanks. Wu Changhui was in front of me and said: "Fourth company, ten rooms here, five companies, five rooms on the left, five rooms on the right, six companies...... Twenty meters further on, there are seven rooms, enough for you to live! ”

"Battalion Commander Wu!" Looking at such a small space, I said with some worry: "The exits here are all stuffed with tanks, in case of enemy sneak attack or artillery attack, then our battalion will be finished!" ”

This is actually a military common sense, barracks or garrisons pay attention to 'traffic' smooth, so that once the enemy sneak attack, it is easy to deploy troops or retreat, and the enemy will not be suffocated when he blocks one or two exits.

"Huh! Don't worry, what other enemies can sneak attack here? Battalion Commander Wu said indifferently: "This neighborhood is full of troops from our 43rd Army, besides...... Here on the anti-slope of the heights, the enemy's artillery could not be bombed! ”

It should be said that what Battalion Commander Wu said is also reasonable, at this time, it was the time for our army to launch an attack on Lang Son South District, and the Vietnamese army was afraid that it would be too late to take care of itself, and where would there be extra 'fine' strength to sneak attack our army.

But after thinking about it, I still feel a little uneasy, this arrangement may not have any problem for the tank battalion of Commander Wu, they only have a crew of four people in each tank, and if they encounter a sneak attack by the enemy, they only need to quickly run out and get into the tank. But with our infantry unit, with a battalion of men crammed into it, and tanks crammed into alleys, I can't imagine what would have happened if something had happened.

Thinking of this, I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All units pay attention, the adjacent houses are connected to each other, and a 'door' and 'hole' are opened in the back, and the size is subject to the fact that one person can enter and exit freely." ”

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately took off their sapper shovels and began to move.

It is said that there are still very few houses in this era with steel and soul concrete structures, especially in this relatively backward country in Vietnam, so although this Lang Son North District is a new district, the houses are also ordinary brick houses. Most of the soldiers came from the countryside, and they were very good at dealing with this kind of house, they first scraped off a house of mortar outside the wall with sapper shovels, and then knocked off a few bricks on the wall, and after a while, they opened a series of "doors" and "holes", and all the houses were thrown together. This will not only strengthen the links between the various forces, but also allow for much more exports.

"Yo ho!" Seeing that the soldiers had finished the barracks that were originally very crowded here in all directions after a while, Wu Changhui couldn't help scratching his head and said, "You're still a great guy!" How did I come up with this idea! ”

"You love the Vietnamese people too much!" I quipped.

"Who...... Says who! Battalion Commander Wu denied it.

Now it is a little different from the beginning of the war, when "loving every grass and tree of the Vietnamese people" was the order of the superiors and the combat discipline of our army! But now, it has become a shame, so none of the soldiers want to wear this hat.

In fact, I also know that Battalion Commander Wu didn't expect this because of this discipline, but in his cognition, the place occupied by our army belongs to us, and it should be protected. But what he didn't know was...... In a few days, after we defeat Lang Son and achieve the goal of teaching the Yue devils a lesson, our army will soon withdraw completely!

Looking at the nearby terrain, I was still a little uneasy, so I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "Each unit has arranged sentries." Li Shui's 'wave', immediately organize the 'shooting' team to occupy the commanding heights, and report any movement in time! ”

"Yes!" The company commanders and Li Shui responded and immediately carried out my order.

Wu Changhui couldn't help but admire when he saw our army's quick response: "You really have you!" In the past, when you rescued us from Dongxi, I thought it was just because of luck, but now it seems that it has a lot to do with the quality of your troops! ”

"Don't praise me!" I laughed and replied, "It's just a necessary vigilance against 'sex'!" ”

At this time, I was really tired, so I casually perfunctory a few words from Battalion Commander Wu, and then took the guards into the battalion headquarters arranged for me by Battalion Commander Wu!

After entering the house, I struggled to sit back on the 'bed', and then I breathed a sigh of relief, and a wave of fatigue and exhaustion soon crept up all over my body. Commander Chu is right, I am really not suitable to lead troops to fight anymore.

Not long after sitting down, there were several knocks on the 'door' outside the 'door', and the guard opened the 'door' after answering the password, which turned out to be Liu Yun.

After she came in, she didn't speak, put on a stinky face and carried a basin of water to me, and said coldly: "Change the 'medicine'!" ”

I struggled to unbuckle my belt and unload my backpack, and when I unbuttoned it, I accidentally touched the wound on my left shoulder, and I couldn't help but moan.

Liu Yun, who was preparing the 'potion' for me, hurriedly ran over and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Does it hurt? ”

"It's fine!" I replied, "It's a little heavier on my left shoulder!" ”

"Who told you to go to war!" Liu Yun gently took off his military uniform for Duoduo, and blamed: "You've fought so many battles, even if it's your turn to rest, it's your turn!" What's more, you're still injured, so you can still hold on! ”

Somehow, these words of Liu Yun gave me the illusion that she was not blaming her chief, but her husband......

I peeked at the two guards standing at the 'door', and they also peeked at me with a smile on their faces, which only made me feel embarrassed.

"Look! The wound is broken again! "Liu Yun didn't care so much, gently untied the bandage for me, and after washing, I applied 'medicine' and bandaged it with a new bandage.

"It's recovering pretty fast!" After finishing it, Liu Yun said with a commanding 'kiss': "Try to move your left arm as little as possible, and if the injury is not healed, you are not allowed to shoot again!" ”

Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the two guards, I could only smile wryly.

With the help of Liu Yun, he slowly lay down on the 'bed', and only then did he feel a sense of relaxation, and his physical strength and 'essence' strength were also recovering a little.

"Guard!" I lazily yelled to my side.

"Here!"

"Let the correspondent report to the regimental headquarters that our battalion has arrived at the 43rd Army garrison and is waiting for orders!"

"Yes!" The guard turned to leave, but I was quickly stopped again.

"Wait!" I continued: "Inform the deputy battalion commander to contact Battalion Commander Wu to replenish the ammunition and supplies needed by our army as soon as possible, and ...... Bring me two hundred rounds of machine-gun ammunition and four grenades! ”

After fighting for a long time, when I don't have any 'medicine', I will panic as if I am missing something. I don't know if it's a good habit or a bad habit, maybe it's a good habit on the battlefield, but ...... One day, if you still have this habit when you go off the battlefield, how can you live!

After all these things, I breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed my whole body and closed my eyes to recuperate. I know that my current physical condition is very bad, and my priority now is to use all the time available to recover my strength.

It didn't take long for the 'medicine' and supplies to be delivered, which also made me admire Battalion Commander Wu's efficiency, and later I learned that in fact, these were not my requests or arrangements by Battalion Commander Wu, but Commander Chu took the lead to make people prepare. He even brought me a sniper rifle with an SVD......

When I had a brand new spur in my hand and two hundred machine-gun rounds in my backpack, I somehow felt more 'energetic' and more powerful, and the wound on my left arm didn't seem to hurt much.

"Camp Commander Cui!" At this time, Battalion Commander Wu pushed the 'door' in and said, "The army commander asked you if you could afford to eat......

"Got a mission?" I sat up from the 'bed' and replied, "Eat it!" Just give us the task! ”

"It's not a mission!" Battalion Commander Wu shook his head and said, "The army commander asked you to go to his military headquarters!" ”

"Hmm!" I replied angrily: "Then what else is there to eat, just walk a few steps, isn't it?" I'm not here to get some sleep! ”

As he spoke, he got up and put on his military uniform with the help of the guards, and hung up his armed belt.

"Commander Chu hasn't rested yet?" I asked casually while following Camp Commander Wu.

"He hasn't slept well in the past few days in order to attack Lang Son South District!" Battalion Commander Wu replied, "Isn't that? I heard that you woke up, he just went to see you as soon as he was free, and he hasn't rested until tonight! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but shake my head, Commander Chu is still the same! When he was on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he often did not rest for a few days because he was busy with the war, he was still young at that time, and it was reasonable to say, but now that he is so old, he is still tossed as before......

He followed Wu Changhui all the way through the dark alley to turn left and right, passed through several checkpoints, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous bungalow.

I looked around the bungalow and could feel several pairs of eyes staring at me warily in the shadows. But that's all, I can only feel their presence, but I can't be sure where they are. Come to think of it, all of them are not inferior to the level of snipers.

However, this is not surprising, as the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, the troops brought out by Commander Chu will naturally not be bad.

After Camp Commander Wu exchanged the password in front of the 'door', the two of us were let into the house. Naturally, I couldn't bring the weapons with me, so I had to work hard to get them off again. I couldn't help but curse secretly, why didn't I think of this! I knew I wouldn't have brought a weapon. It's nothing in normal times, but it's torture for me now......

The guards were very familiar with Camp Commander Wu, so they searched me casually and let us in.

As soon as I walked into the back room, I found that the lights were bright, and all corners of the room were lit with kerosene lamps with glass covers, which were very popular in this era, and several PLA troops wearing cadre uniforms were discussing in the sand table in the center, and one of them was Commander Chu!

Seeing that they were discussing it so engrossedly, that we didn't even notice that Camp Commander Wu and I had come in, we didn't dare to disturb and stood quietly and listened.

"I propose that the infantry launch an offensive on the southern sector under the cover of tank units!" One of the bespectacled cadres pointed to the sand table and said: "The infantry needs the cover of tanks in street fighting, otherwise if the infantry charges alone, our army will suffer great casualties!" Moreover, it was difficult to wipe out the Vietnamese troops in the civilian houses, and the Vietnamese troops, relying on their familiarity with the geographical location, used the civilian houses to wage guerrilla warfare against our troops. In some areas, the houses had been cleaned up by our army the day before, but after the night there were Vietnamese troops in ambush, which often caused our troops to suffer great losses! ”

"yes!" Another cadre with a wrinkled face frowned and said: "The more devils always knock out here and come out there, when will it be a head if it continues to fight like this!" We can only watch the sacrifices of our soldiers one after another, and we just can't get in...... If you want me to say, no matter what kind of foreign reporter he is, let's use artillery bombardment and tank collision to level all the houses for him, and see if they can still play the house game war with us! ”

"Lao Wang!" Commander Chu replied at this time: "Didn't they all tell you that you can't do it like this?" What is the purpose of this battle? Is it to attack the city and plunder the land, or to kill a few more devils? Neither! Let's just teach the Vietnamese devils a lesson in front of international public opinion, if you really fight like you and carry out indiscriminate massacres in front of foreign journalists, then what's the point of fighting this war? Isn't that a smear on our motherland? ”

"The commander has a point!" A thin and tall cadre answered: "We just want to compete with the Vietnamese devils in front of foreign reporters, and we can beat them down even if we are fighting in the streets on their territory, so that we can truly achieve the goal of teaching them a lesson and winning glory for the motherland!" Otherwise, this battle will lose its meaning after sacrificing so many comrades and spending so many manpower and material resources! ”

"Hit? How to fight? The bespectacled cadre said with some indignation: "The enemy's advantage in burying the ground is obvious, and the advantage in military quality is also obvious!" We are attacking each other with too little to beat, and our warriors are dying every day, bleeding every hour and every minute! ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and everyone understood the truth, but no one had a solution to it......

"Actually...... There is a compromise! "I couldn't help but 'interject' next to me.

"A compromise?" Only then did the cadres realize that I and Battalion Commander Wu were standing next to me, and the tall and thin cadres habitually put their hands on the pistol holster on their right waist, and asked me: "Who are you?" ”

"Hmm! He is Camp Commander Cui! When Commander Chu saw me, his face couldn't help but loosen, and he introduced to a few people beside him: "As I told you, he is Comrade Cui Wei, who rescued our tank troops in Dongxi and fought a beautiful blocking battle at the Qiqiao River Bridge a few days ago!" ”

"Oh......" The cadres let down their vigilance and enthusiastically came up to shake hands with me.

"This is Commander Chen of the 127th Division, this is Commander Wang of the 128th Division, and this is Commander Li of the 129th Division......"

"What?" Listening to Commander Chu's introduction, I couldn't help but be stunned, it turns out that these people here are all division commander-level figures, today I can be regarded as playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong!
