Chapter Ninety-Three: Dynamite Pack
Chapter Ninety-Three: Dynaming the 'Drug' Pack
Jeeps staggered forward on the crater-ridden road, filled with military vehicles carrying ammunition, food, soldiers, and artillery shells, while most of the people who went down the road were pulling the wounded or piles of corpses.
Of course, the corpses were tightly wrapped in canvas in order to prevent the new fighters from seeing them and affecting their morale. But we could tell from the blood dripping from the cart that we could even tell that the bodies had been stranded for at least a day or two.
Liu Yun and Yichen may have been really tired, and the jeep leaned against each other and fell asleep before it drove for a while. But I was so refreshed because I had just slept that I was so refreshed that I just looked at the military vehicles that kept passing us by and sighed - this is war, carrying piles of guns, ammunition, food, and living soldiers, but bringing down truckloads of corpses and mutilated wounded......
The jeep drove in the direction of Tongdeng for more than half an hour and stopped on a hillside. I looked up and saw a group of fighters in front of me unloading the N explosives and explosives bags that had just been brought up from the rear. These explosives must have been used to blow up Vietnamese fortifications or detonate mines!
The road was already narrow and full of craters, and as soon as the car stopped on the side of the road and a few soldiers who were carrying the explosives, almost all the people were blocked.
The driver, Xiao Li, honked his horn impatiently, but the sappers only looked at us, and they still cared about carrying the explosives bag.
In this war years, especially in this era when the military rank system was abolished and the equality of officers and soldiers was emphasized, who would care what kind of leader made a jeep for you! Even the commander, who doesn't know you, can use you as a platoon leader, so it doesn't matter if you take a jeep or something, those who are soldiers will not sell your account either!
I didn't say anything, but Xiao Li was a little unconvinced, and scolded my mother to get out of the car and let them get out of the way.
I hurriedly stopped Xiao Li: "Forget it!" They're almost finished! ”
Xiao Li stretched out his head and looked, yes, there were only nine explosive 'drug' bags and some n explosive 'medicine' left, so he waited patiently without speaking.
They reminded me of the demining engineer battalion who cleared a passage for us with their own bodies when the Battle of Lang Son was launched...... At this time, I saw these sappers in front of me, and I seemed to see them marching towards the minefield in a line with firm steps!
It's not easy for the sapper comrades! They have to deal with an invisible enemy, one who could break his hands and feet at any time if he is not careful.
I believe that it is not painful for a person to lose his life on the battlefield, because by that time he already knew nothing. What is more painful is that he survived but became disabled...... And the landmines of this era are often the ones that don't kill people, and the special 'door' is to turn people into disabilities.
So if I had a choice, I'd rather go to war than be a sapper and 'deal with' those mines all day long.
Just when I was thinking about it, the unexpected happened. Perhaps because of the bump in the car, the fire pipe of one of the explosive "charge" bags was hung on the wire used for binding, and the soldiers in the car pulled the fire pipe of the explosive "charge" bag while lifting the explosive "charge" bag and passing it down. Suddenly, the fuse of the explosive 'medicine' bag was sneering and snorting......
The sappers and soldiers were all stunned, there were dozens of explosive bags under the car that they had no time to move away, and there were still seven or eight explosive bags and some N explosives on the car, and if it exploded, all the military vehicles and soldiers within a radius of thousands of meters would not be able to escape.
The soldier with the explosives bag in his hand didn't hand it down, nor did he grasp it in his hand, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do!
I, the driver Xiao Li and the correspondent also saw this scene, and we couldn't help but exclaim. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, the delay explosion time of the explosive pack was only a short six or seven seconds, and even if I reacted quickly, I would have opened the car door and snatched the explosive bag and dropped it in a safe place. At this moment, I was thinking, I couldn't imagine that I Cui Wei had been a hero for so many years, and in the end I still died here because of an accident.
At this time, Liu Yun and Yichen were still asleep, but it was okay to leave this world unconsciously, which seemed to be a kind of luck!
Suddenly, a warrior rushed over and shouted, "Get out of the way!" As he spoke, he snatched the explosive 'drug' and wrapped it in front of his 'chest' and hugged it tightly and ran towards the side of the road like crazy, and then ran to the broken wall and jumped......
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the moment the soldier jumped up, the explosive 'medicine' bag exploded, and in an instant, the sky was blood-red, and blood and scraps of 'meat' were splashed everywhere. On the military vehicles, the soldiers' uniforms and faces were all covered with a little blood......
But what is clear is that the other dynamite was not killed by this explosion, and the warrior used his own body to block part of the energy of the dynamite packet, thus saving the lives of everyone around him.
Liu Yun and Yichen screamed in surprise at the moment of the explosion, and the whole person jumped up, Yichen grabbed the pole in front of him tightly and looked out nervously, and Liu Yun suddenly got into my arms and held his head with both hands.
But I didn't care about all this, but looked at the blood and 'flesh' on the windshield glass in a daze, and the sapper soldiers who stood there for a long time and couldn't speak.
After a long time, a soldier picked up the fragments of military uniforms and corpses on the ground with tears in his eyes, and put them on an open stretcher little by little, and then more and more people silently picked them up on the ground, one after another.
The driver and I also opened the car 'door' and silently joined them......
By the time the jeep was on the road again, it was already twenty minutes later. Although there was a lot of delay, and there was blood all over the inside and outside of the car, the soldiers did not complain, because everyone knew that this was nothing compared to the soldier who was blown to pieces.
"What's going on?" It was only then that Liu Yun timidly asked, she was facing the correspondent in front of her when she spoke, and she seemed to be embarrassed by the fact that she had just gotten into my arms, so she didn't even dare to say anything to me at this time.
"It was really dangerous just now...... correspondent said luckily: "A bag of explosives was somehow ignited, and almost detonated a large number of explosives, and you two slept soundly!" It's all from the ghost 'door' to the end! ”
Hearing this, Liu Yun and Yichen couldn't help but look at each other, only then did they know that such a big thing had happened when they were asleep!
Liu Qu didn't dare to talk to me, Yichen didn't want to talk to me, and Xiao Li and the three of us didn't want to talk because they thought of the heroism of the soldier's sacrifice with the dynamite bag, so the car was very dull for a while, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts.
The jeep turned into a mountain road after driving on the highway for more than an hour, and then the carriage was even more upside down, and from time to time Liu Yun lifted up and bumped into me, only to be ashamed that Liu Yun was peeking at me all the way, and sometimes secretly looked at others, for fear that others would find something abnormal.
Yichen's girl is also fun, she obviously saw Liu Yun's thoughts, and when others didn't pay attention, she compared Liu Yun's "shameful" actions with Liu Yun, only to be embarrassed that Liu Yun punched and hit, and after a while, she and Yichen became a mess. There were these two 'female' soldiers playing and laughing along the way, which relieved the dullness a little.
I don't know how long it took, but after several inspections by open and secret guards, the jeep finally stopped in front of several wooden houses in the jungle.
One thing I can be sure of is that the military headquarters we are at now is not the one we went to last time. However, it is normal to think about it, it is impossible for the military headquarters to be in the same place for too long, which will not only be in danger of being detected by Vietnamese agents, but also facilitate the command of front-line combat troops.
And Liu Yun and Yichen seemed to be used to this, and they couldn't wait to walk towards the wooden house as soon as they got out of the car.
I left my rifle in the car, handed over a few words to the correspondent and Xiao Li, and followed.
"Comrade Cui Wei! Why is it late? "It was the chief of staff who came out to greet me," the chief of staff, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Your regimental headquarters has already said that it has already set off, why did you arrive at this time?" The commander was in a hurry, just now he was worried about whether you would have any accidents, and said that he would send someone to pick you up! ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be moved, and a sense of comradeship arose again. But after thinking about it, there was a sense of helplessness in my heart, and I still couldn't see him as a comrade-in-arms......
When I walked into the cabin after the Chief of Staff, I noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Liu Shunyi was throwing a tantrum at Liu Yun and Yichen with a straight face, pointing at them and scolding: "What did you do? The battle was not fought for a few days before he ran back! If you can't endure the hardships and can come back, can the other warriors also go back? Everyone is thinking about how to fight this battle! ”
But Liu Yun and Yichen lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word. Especially Liu Yun, who was so aggrieved that tears fell down like pearls with broken threads.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stepped forward and explained to them: "Report to the commander! Is it a ...... No, I brought them back! Liu Yun and Yichen performed very well on the battlefield, willing to endure hardships and not afraid of sacrifice, and saved many wounded on the battlefield. This time the commander wanted to see me, and I thought I was having a ride, so I ......"
"Hmm!" Listening to my explanation, Liu Shunyi's face looked better, and his voice slowed down: "Since you came here on orders from your superiors, then I don't blame you." Go down and eat something and rest, I still have some things to talk about with Battalion Commander Cui, and when Battalion Commander Cui goes back, you will follow him to the battlefield again! Do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
Yichen replied simply, but Liu Yun was choked with a handful of snot and tears. I couldn't help but feel amused when I saw it, daring to love Liu Shunyi, this guy teaching a 'girl' is the same as teaching his soldiers!
And Ivan glared at me fiercely as he left, as if to say, "Who told you to call us up on your own initiative!" ”
I couldn't help but shout in my heart that I was wronged, I was all apologizing for the chief of staff, wasn't it?
"Camp Chief Cui...... Sit down, sit down, sit down, "After Liu Yun and Yichen left, Liu Shunyi warmly beckoned me to sit down on a wooden chair, and then" "The chief of staff quickly brought two cups ......of tea and a plate of fruit.
"This is the fruit that the commander specially 'handed over' to the orderly soldiers to prepare for you!" The chief of staff explained: "Our commander hasn't even eaten a bite, so I'll keep it for you!" ”
"Commander...... This ......" Looking at that plate of fruit, I couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in my heart.
"Huh...... What is this! Liu Shunyi said nonchalantly: "We have to eat every day in the future, and we don't have to worry about losing our 'sex' life all the time, you are different, you eat biscuits and canned food every day, where will you be able to stand it for a long time!" Come ......"
As he spoke, he brought the plate of fruit to me and said, "The first task for you today is to eat it all!" ”
"Commander...... "My eyes couldn't help but moisten a little, I have always known that Liu Shunyi is a cautious person, and as long as he 'handovers' everything to him, he rarely makes mistakes." But I never thought that he was so sympathetic to his subordinates......
Under Liu Shunyi's firm eyes, I was no longer polite, grabbed the plate of fruit and chewed it. In other words, those of us who have been on the front line for a long time really need fruits, because for a long time we have eaten compressed biscuits and canned food, so after a long time, we will lack vitamins, just like sailors who have been sailing at sea for a long time cannot eat fresh vegetables, and are prone to sepsis.
But I can eat it, but my comrades on the front line can......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slow down.
"What's wrong?" Liu Shunyi is a careful person, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Commander!" I replied, "There are four more warriors with me, so leave the rest to them!" ”
"Good!" Liu Shunyi nodded with satisfaction and approved: "You can still think about your subordinates at this time, it is enough to prove that you are a good cadre!" ”
Then he put the plate in the hand of the chief of staff and said, "Take it to a few other soldiers, and say that Battalion Commander Cui left it for them!" ”
"Yes!" The chief of staff answered and went out with the fruit.
"Your kid was promoted 'quite quickly'!" After the chief of staff went out, Liu Shunyi laughed and said, "I was still a company commander when I saw you last time!" I didn't expect to be a battalion commander in just a few days! ”
"Hehe......" I smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's all my luck, 'door'!" ”
Hearing my words, Liu Shunyi couldn't help but look at me stunned, and after a while, he sighed and said: "You are really like my old regiment leader, he used to be like you in the past, he used to be like you, and he was constantly used by the organization for his meritorious service on the battlefield, and when he was praised, he always said things like you just now...... If you weren't so young and didn't look like him......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, knowing that Liu Shunyi had been with me for too long during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it was inevitable that I would see a little bit of the shadow of Cui Wei in my words and deeds. So he secretly told himself that he should deliberately change his habits in front of Liu Shunyi in the future.
"Don't talk about these digressions!" Liu Shunyi let out a long sigh, and then said: "I won't tell you, I am the one who formulated the plan to take down the highlands on the periphery of Kuma Mountain and Langshan Mountain. A few days ago, I heard what you said about the plan to use Lang Son to send reinforcements, and I couldn't help but be shocked! After thinking about it, I felt that your plan was indeed feasible, although it was a little risky, but it was very likely to achieve greater results, while my plan was a little more conservative. You are also very similar to my old regiment leader! In the past, no matter what we fought into his hands, he was always at risk, and he always succeeded......"
As he spoke, Liu Shunyi's face showed a look of fascination. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, this Liu Shunyi can now be said to be out of the subject in less than three sentences and turned to the previous me, presumably I who was standing in front of him at this time...... It brings back too many memories for him.
Every time I get to this point, I feel the urge to recognize him, but what will happen if I know him? Would he believe such nonsense? And what will happen if this matter is known to others? So in the end, I endured it.
"Alas! Look at me......" Liu Shunyi shook his head a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that I am really old, and I am always distracted......"
As he spoke, he stood up and brought me to the map, pointed to the map and said: "The current situation is like this, our army has basically occupied all the high ground on the outskirts of Lang Son, and a corps transferred by the Vietnamese army from Cambodia Pusai has therefore not moved!" The 327th and 337th Vietnamese Divisions have never appeared, and if we attack Lang Son on this, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army will abandon their pawns and protect their vehicles in order to avoid suffering greater losses, then all we can annihilate is the remnants of the 3rd Vietnamese Division and some cantonments guarding Lang Son! ”
I nodded, Liu Shunyi's analysis is of course right, our army has powerful artillery, and now it controls the high ground on the periphery of Lang Son, so it can be said that it is not easy to take the surrounded Lang Mountain. The only thing we are worried about now is the Vietnamese people in Lang Son and the pressure of international public opinion. It's a big deal to 'force' us to be in a hurry, and the cannon is bombarded at Langshan......
Therefore, in this situation, of course, the Vietnamese army will not be stupid enough to drill into Lang Son City again and let us blow up.
"Of course!" Liu Shunyi paused and continued: "It is also very important to conquer Langshan, and its political significance is far greater than its military significance, which is why I have adopted conservative warfare before. But now...... What the superior means, can you open your mouth wider and hurt the devil! ”
"Hmm!" Listening to Liu Shunyi's words, I understood that the superiors wanted to use my tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements to annihilate more Vietnamese troops, and teach the Vietnamese army a hard lesson!
I would like to pay tribute to Ye Jianbai, a soldier of the 163rd Division Engineer Battalion, with this chapter! When Comrade Ye Jianbai, who was only 23 years old, was unloading explosives with his comrades-in-arms, he took away an explosive bag that had been accidentally ignited, and used his body to avoid the explosion of other explosives. In the end, his comrades-in-arms could only find a set of military uniforms that he had worn and put them in his tomb. Ye Jianbai was awarded the hero title of "A Good Soldier Who Sacrificed His Life to Save His Comrades"!
