Early on the morning of the 16th, all training was canceled. When the assembly call sounded outside the barracks, and the soldiers lined up outside the barracks with the fastest speed as usual, they were told to gather in the "Guang" field.

The company commander and instructor led the team in front, and more than 100 people from the whole company came to the "Guang" field in a neat and orderly manner. The field was full of soldiers wearing green uniforms and red collar badges, and the queues were like straight pine trees, and before they were lined up, under the command of the company commander, they walked to their own positions like streams flowing into the sea. The entire field was filled with the neat footsteps of the soldiers and the puffs of dust brought up by the footsteps.

We also found a position under the leadership of the company commander and stopped, and then I couldn't help but admire Company Commander Li.

Although we knew from the actual combat exercises in the past few days that Company Commander Li's military quality was not very good, including the 20 or so veterans who arrived at him, I later heard from the people in my hometown that they were all directly pulled up from the production base, and they had little training in cultivating wasteland for many years, and they were still domineering because they were veterans. This makes them even less powerful than those recruits in our platoon, but their tone is frighteningly coarse! But at least Company Commander Li can still find the position where our company should stay in this vast sea of soldiers, which is quite powerful for me, a road blind, and when the soldiers have almost found their own positions, I have time to look around. There is not much difference from the last time in the letter on the "Guang" field, that is, there are several times more people, and there are a large pile of wooden boxes around the "Guang" field, and two rows of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition stand majestically next to those wooden boxes.

"Comrades!"

It was the commander of our division who spoke, and I knew from my hometown that the commander's surname was Chen, and it was said that one eye was fake. It seems that during a battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, several puppet soldiers surrounded him and stabbed one of his eyes. He endured the pain and eliminated all those puppet armies.

Of course, "I can't see whether Senior Commander Chen's eye is fake or not at all from my position, so I can't confirm this."

Korean? Isn't that the battle I just went through?

I think Division Commander Chen must have heard of the 538 Regiment and its commander Cui Wei, and sometimes I have an impulse to talk to him for a few words, maybe I can be promoted a few levels in a row to play a more role on the battlefield! But come to think of it, one is that no one will believe what I've been through, unless he's a madman. On the other hand, I'm not sure what kind of crime was "on my shoulder" after deliberately letting go of the puppet army agent Jin Qiulian back then...... "Although ten years of turmoil have passed, it is still the era of "exposing and criticizing", and it is a bad and anti-grass activist!

"Comrades!" Master Chen's firm and powerful voice resounded through the loudspeaker, and his first words were: "We're going to war!" Are you ready, comrades? ”

"Ready!" The warriors replied in unison.

But having said that, I know that a considerable number of people only have a dozen or even a few days from the time they throw away their hoes to the time they pick up their guns.

"Good!" Division Commander Chen nodded and continued: "We extended a helping hand to Vietnam in the most difficult time and helped them build the party" Give him guns and food, help them drive out the French, and help them repel the Americans, so to speak, you can give whatever you want! But now they have hardened their wings, and they are showing off their military might in front of us" is known as the third military power, they have created incidents on the Sino-Vietnamese border to encroach on our territory, and have continuously dispatched armed forces to attack our border troops! It's tolerable or unbearable, just like Commander Xu said, since the apprentices have all started with the master, then don't blame our master for giving them an old fist! ”

"Down with Vietnam!"

"Down with the more devils!"

The warriors shouted over and over again. Don't say it" This neat slogan really makes people's blood boil. That's probably what it's called............ Let's take the oath meeting! It's really a shame, I have fought on the Korean battlefield for more than three years, and I have never held such a pledge meeting!

The oath meeting was going smoothly, and the soldiers seemed to have understood a truth at this time, that is, the fact that they could not avoid going to the battlefield to fight, "Since this is the case, it is better to go to the battlefield vigorously to fight." So this meeting of more than an hour was all about the fighters "resolutely completing the task!" "Live up to the people's trust! "Punish Vietnam and aid Cambodia! "Down with the Vietnamese overlord!" The slogan was passed.

I admit that I was very pure and naïve at the time. Because I always thought that under this hot 'wave' and 'tide', all the soldiers were 'aroused' and couldn't wait to go to the battlefield, but soon found that not all of them were as I thought. Because, not long after, there were several despicable incidents of self-harm.

After the meeting, the wooden boxes were opened, and as we guessed, they were all equipped with ammunition. We lined up in a company to receive it, and the orders from the company commander were: 1,600 rounds of ammunition for each heavy machine gun, 1,000 rounds for each light machine gun for squads, 300 rounds of ammunition for each submachine gun, 200 rounds of ammunition for each rifle, 40 rocket launchers for each G-round rocket, 60 mortars for each 'door' of artillery shells, 1.2 meters (3 for each 40 cm) of blasters per infantry squad, 5 kilograms of TNT explosives for each infantry, and 4 grenades.

As ordered, I received my own 200 rounds of ammunition (10 magazines), 5 kilograms of TNT and 4 grenades. As for the other things that should be received, then I don't need to 'worry', Wu Haiguo, the squad leader, will take care of everything.

The biggest advantage of Wu Haiguo is that no matter what he does, he is always positive, and it is not within the scope of his duties as a squad leader, but as long as it belongs to his platoon or even his company, he will try his best to take care of it.

This also saves us a lot of heart as a platoon leader, saying that I don't want to be annoyed by these "chicken" and "hairy" trivial things, and my head should be used in more worthy of my use.

It's like a man who works hard outside the home, always unwilling to be distracted and distracted by tedious household chores.

However, as a platoon commander and actually the commander of this company, "I still care about the firepower of my company." At this time, the firepower can be said to be much stronger than when fighting to resist US aggression and aid Korea: "The first rifles used are all semi-automatic, although the 'firing' range is not as far as that of Mosin Nagant, but the emphasis is on the large volume of bullets and the 'firing' speed is fast." In addition, each squad was equipped with two Type 56 submachine guns, one Type 56 light machine gun and one 40 bazooka.

In this way, "the firepower configuration of the first squad is four riflemen, two submachine gunners, two machine gunners and two bazooka 'shooters'. Such firepower is almost unimaginable during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and even the US military cannot reach such a standard!

But I patted the bullet pouch full of magazines, but for some reason it didn't feel as full as it used to be. Well, I think this should come out of two reasons, one is that the rifle in my hand is not as good as the MIC I used before. 56 Although each magazine has two more bullets than the MI, "the effective 'firing' range is only 400 meters, and it is simply impossible to hit a target of about 700 meters like the previous MINC." More importantly, I know very well that during the Korean War, almost every comrade-in-arms around me was an "elite" soldier of a hundred battles, and as long as there was sufficient ammunition and supplies, I believed that we could eat any enemy who stood in our way.

But my current comrades-in-arms can't give me such confidence, "although their firepower is much stronger than before......

"Platoon Commander Cui!" When I finished receiving my equipment and walked to the barracks, the people from my hometown stopped me, handed me a telescope, and said, "Here!" ”

"Hey! You kid...... It's really good! "I took the telescope and tried it, and I soon learned that it was an eight-fold telescope, which is not something a platoon commander like me can do on the battlefield.

"Tell me, how did you get it?" That being said, I actually want to know what the relationship between the people in my hometown is.

Unexpectedly, the mouth of his hometown was very tight, so he just smiled: "You'll know later!" ”

Seeing that the people in my hometown didn't want to say that I was not reluctant, I casually hung the telescope around my neck, patted my hometown on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!" ”

The answer given to me by the people in my hometown was a hard punch: "It seems to be telling me that even my brother doesn't have to do it if he says kind words!" I smiled and walked into my barracks, and I wanted to 'make' such friends. And it's strange to say that no matter where I go, "I seem to 'make' a few of these friends." The reality is that the Korean War was "the same now!"

"Bang!"

Before I could settle down on the 'bed', a gunshot rang out from a barracks opposite. It's nothing on the battlefield, but it's not going to start yet............

The soldiers in the dormitory rushed out as soon as they breathed, and I followed them with suspicion. As soon as he walked out of the barracks, he heard a few screams from the opposite side, and a small 'leg' with blood everywhere made several soldiers carry out with their hands and feet.

"What's going on?" Someone whispered, "I don't know!" Maybe the gun went off......"

But I didn't look like the gun was misfired, because I noticed that he was wounded in the 'leg' in the neck, and in order to hit this place, he had to turn his little 'leg' sideways and aim it at the muzzle......

So I quickly learned that there is still a distance between shouting slogans and taking action. But I didn't break it up, because I couldn't imagine how much fear of war it would take for a soldier to harm himself. More importantly, I don't want the fighters to find out that there is such a "way out"!

It wasn't long before a correspondent reported in front of me that the company commander had called a meeting of the platoon commanders. In fact, at this time, I already knew what the purpose of the meeting was.

As expected, as soon as I, my hometown, and Yang Songjian arrived at the office of the company commander and instructor, Company Commander Li pointed at us and said in a low voice: "Take care of your soldiers, pay special attention to those who are timid, and if necessary, you can collect their bullets first!" ”

"Yes!" The three of us answered, but we all knew in our hearts that if the fighters were willing to harm themselves, we would be useless in front of us. He can use a bayonet when he collects bullets, and he can use a stone when he collects a bayonet, even if he collects all the stones............ All he had to do was pick up his legs and kick them on the bed......

Later, I heard that there had been several such incidents in other units, even after the fighting had begun, and all of those soldiers were expelled and sent back to their hometowns. But I am a little proud that none of the soldiers I brought with me ever had such soldiers.

Then, the poet, who was the instructor, emphasized a few words that asked us to do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers: "He signaled that we could go back."

At this time, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious, "Straighten" and asked: "Company commander!" Instructor! Don't you have to assign combat missions? What is our offensive line, our offensive objectives? What about friendly neighbor forces? What is the situation with the enemy? How's the enemy situation along the way......"

I can understand that the hometown people and Yang Songjian are not in a hurry, after all, they don't know that the battle will start at half past six tomorrow morning, but I ...... "But I don't know how this battle will be fought, and I don't even know where it will be."

Company Commander Li glared at me and replied, "You talk a lot!" Our regiment is responsible for the task of penetrating and 'interspersing', and when the time comes, we will follow the large army and leave, why do we ask so much? ”

I couldn't help but be dark in front of me, and I cursed in my heart: This is how you fight? Didn't this take more than 100 people from our entire company to 'touch' the elephant with glasses?

I found out afterwards that I was actually wrong to blame Company Commander Li at this time. Because it was not only Company Commander Li who did not know the situation, "even our entire attacking unit did not know the situation, and the whole army was in a state of attacking while reconnoitring."

When I walked out of the company headquarters, I pulled the people from my hometown and asked bluntly, "Is there a way to get me a map!" ”

"No problem!" The hometown people nodded, and left without saying a word.

By the evening, he had really gotten it, but his expression was a little strange when he handed me the map, and he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to it beforehand, so he secretly stuffed the map into me. bag. Before leaving, he also 'confessed': "Hide it yourself!" ”

When I opened the map, it dawned on me: "Because three lines were drawn with a pencil on this map, it should be the direction of attack of the three regiments of our division, all the way from Miqi across the mountainous area to Tan Ridge." All the way is from the friendship pass through the three-hole bridge, Banna frontal attack Tan. On the last road, it was noted that our regiment set off from the 'lane' and crossed the Babian Mountain through the 'interspersed' to the Boron Heights behind the enemy's ......, and went around such a big bend? Looking at the routes on this map, I couldn't help but feel a headache.

Of course, I know what kind of tactic this is, and this is the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, which has been used countless times to penetrate and 'intersperse' encirclement. However, on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, we were 'interspersed' in the mountains, and the United Nations troops were unfamiliar with the terrain and not conducive to the march of mechanized troops. Now we are familiar with the terrain and are also good at jungle warfare, and we also use such tactics............

And I also know very well that just like the division commander said at the swearing-in meeting, the Vietnamese army is actually our apprentice. Because we had a precedent of using weak equipment to defeat the US-led UN forces during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Vietnamese army also actively studied our tactical thinking when fighting against the US troops. Our army not only sent a large number of military advisers to North Vietnam, but also trained a large number of command personnel for the Vietnamese army, and many military academies in our country have set up special "Vietnamese classes"!

In this case, we still stick to the conventional tactic of using this kind of 'interspersed' encirclement, what other effect can we have? It is even possible that the Vietnamese army will think of our 'interlude' route first, and lay in ambush in front of us......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a chill all over my body: "I really don't want this war to go down like this, but there is nothing I can do." I'm just a platoon commander now," I didn't even get a chance to speak.

When it was time for dinner, I went to the cafeteria in a bit of a discouraged state. Unlike usual, tonight with the addition of vegetables, a large basin in front of us was filled with 'meat'. In normal times, it might not take more than three minutes, and there would not even be half a drop of soup left at the bottom of the bucket. But everyone seemed to realize that this was the last meal in the barracks, and they lost their appetite. Half of the day passed, and there was still half of the 'meat' left in the bucket, and no one was in the mood to enjoy it.

Of course, there are exceptions to this, that is, Hu Shaowen, the little guy. Maybe it's because he rarely has the opportunity to eat 'meat', or maybe it's really a young man who doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and his eyes are still staring at the basin with bulging eyes, and from time to time he urges us with vague words: "Eat, eat!" It's delicious! ”

"Comrades!" At the end of dinner, Division Commander Chen appeared in front of us with a group of cadres from the division headquarters, he held a bowl of wine high above us, and shouted at us in a hoarse and heroic voice: "We are going to go on the expedition tonight!" I'm here to toast my comrades with a glass of Zhuangxing wine! It's my soldiers, and they've dried up this bowl of wine! ”

"Good! ! ”

"Drink!"

The soldiers were so 'excited' by Division Commander Chen that they were arrogant again, and they all took the wine jar handed down by the guards to fill their bowls, and then raised them high.

"Luminous cup, hold it in your hand, and thousands of troops will drink the wine together." Division Commander Chen shouted at the soldiers with a wine bowl.

"Luminous cup, hold it in your hand, and thousands of troops will drink the wine together!" The soldiers also shouted, and then shouted in unison: "

The wine is pure and thick, and the pride is like water.

The general raised his glass, and the soldier held his wine.

When you go out to drink, take a sip, and the blood of the generals and soldiers will flow together.

It is life, and it raises its glass, and it is death, and it also picks up wine, and goes out to drink, and if you don't drink enough, you will not look back in life and life. ”

"Drink!" After shouting, all the warriors raised their bowls and slammed them to the ground.........
