Chapter 130: The Vicious Battle of the Banks
The iron 'doors' opened one by one in front of us, which made me glad that we had not attacked this bank, otherwise it would have taken us a lot of time to blow up these iron 'doors'. Now, however, we can easily wait here for the Vietnamese officer to clear the way for us......
Of course, along the way, I intentionally or unintentionally left a few people on the various 'intersection' arteries, and I even asked Li Zhifu to take a dozen people there to prepare for an attack on the stairs. This series of orders was done with gestures behind the Vietnamese officers, so the Vietnamese army did not have any suspicions at all, and still took care of themselves and nervously led the way in front.
Finally, when I opened a heavy iron door, boxes of ammunition appeared in front of me. Boy! Not to mention that there are hundreds of boxes, and if all these poison gas bombs are sent out by the Vietnamese army, I am afraid that the entire city of Lang Son will be shrouded in poison gas.
Will the Vietnamese army die with us in Lang Son? I don't think so, because they could have opened a gap in our encirclement first, and with gas bombs they would obviously be able to do that easily. And only then they poured these shells on the heads of our troops.
Our army is inherently inexperienced in combat, let alone dealing with gas bombs, so if the battle does come to this, I can almost imagine what will happen to our troopsβthe soldiers will fall in pieces, and the survivors will be frightened by the fear of gas bombs and retreat. Originally, our army had already grasped the overall initiative in the battle situation, and it would soon fall to the side of the Vietnamese army. The 308th Division of the Vietnamese Army can get out of Langshan without hurrying......
When the Vietnamese officers saw that we had not moved for a long time, they looked at us suspiciously, and shouted and cursed at us.
"What is he talking about?" I asked Hu Shaowen next to me in Chinese, and at the same time glanced coldly at the Vietnamese officer.
The Vietnamese officer swallowed back all the remaining words at my question, and he looked at me with his mouth half-open in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the Chinese words he had just heard were true.
"He's talking ......" Hu Shaowen smiled and replied, "He asked what we were still doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and move the 'medicine'......"
After listening to Hu Shaowen's words, the Vietnamese officer finally confirmed our identity and reached out to grab the Tokarev pistol at his waist...... But it was already too late, and before he could pull out the pistol, my pistol was already aimed at his brain, and I pulled the trigger without hesitation......
"Bang!" With a bang, the inertia of the bullet slammed the Vietnamese officer's head into the wall behind him, and then he collapsed lifelessly on the ground, leaving only a puddle of red and white turbidity on his face.
The sound of gunfire and screams soon rang out, and as soon as the soldiers heard the sound of my gun, they pulled the trigger on the target that had already been locked. The Vietnamese army did not expect that there would be an enemy situation inside, so they were not prepared against us at all, and in an instant, we were beaten into a 'chaotic' mess and fell down in pieces, and the work inside and outside the hall was dyed red by blood for only a moment......
The group led by Li Zhifu ignored the enemy on the first floor, and rushed up to the second floor with submachine guns, followed by gunfire and screams, and they didn't need to think about it to know what was going on there.
The battle ended in just a few minutes, and all the attention and defense of the Vietnamese army was directed against the bank, so although our number was much smaller than that of the Vietnamese army, which was only half of the strength of the Vietnamese army, we were able to take the entire bank and control it very easily.
The gunfire soon stopped, and the screams of the Vietnamese army soon followed. They were some of the luckier ones, and such a dense bullet only killed them...... However, it seems more unfortunate that the fighters quickly loaded their submachine guns with bayonets and walked forward with great determination......
In normal times, we don't have the habit of keeping prisoners, and the soldiers look at the boxes of poison gas bombs behind the iron 'gate', and there is even more of a nameless fire in their hearts, so where will they be polite to the Vietnamese army, 'standing' with bayonets and stepping forward to shine on those wounded soldiers of the Vietnamese army, it is a 'chaos' stabbing 'chaos'! But after a while, there was no moaning in the hall.
Li Zhifu and others put a machine gun upstairs and swept ......the outside, and before they could understand what was going on, they all fell in a pool of blood without exception.
"Li Zhifu! Shoot flares! β
"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, and soon three red 'colored' signal flares rose into the sky.
According to our agreement with Staff Officer Li, the three signal flares are to tell Staff Officer Li and the troops on the periphery of our army that we have successfully controlled the poison gas bombs of the Vietnamese army, and they can attack with confidence and send a unit to 'insert' into the defense line of the Vietnamese army to reinforce our army. So of course, the side is our top priority after we take the bank.
"Li Shui 'wave'! Li Shui 'wave'...... "Then I yelled into the walkie-talkie again.
"In!" Li Shui's answer came from the walkie-talkie.
"The bank is already under the control of our army, go to the bank immediately to join our army!"
"Yes!" Before Li Shui's words fell, a dark line jumped out from the other side of the street and ran straight towards the bank.
"Attention units!" I hurriedly ordered into the walkie-talkie: "It's Platoon Commander Li who came in front, don't shoot, don't shoot!" β
"Battalion Commander Cui......" Li Shui's 'wave' and 'confused' voice came from the walkie-talkie: "I haven't gone downstairs yet......"
"What?" I raised my binoculars and looked across the street, only to see more and more dark shadows in the private house, obviously not Li Shui'......
"It's the enemy! Get ready for battle! "I didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly that Li Shui's 'wave' lurking on the opposite side didn't have time to withdraw at all. At this time, I couldn't help but regret a little, I should have known that I should have let Li Shui 'wave' join us earlier.
"Hit!" When more and more black shadows in front of me came, the battle began as soon as I gave the order.
Machine gun bullets from the bank building poured down on the Vietnamese troops in several floors, only to cause strings of rubble to explode on the street, and a round of bullets crushed the Vietnamese troops to the point that they could not move, and they did not dare to make any more moves. At this time, I realized that the firepower in the bank was so fierce, so I also had a little bottom in my heart.
"Battalion commander!" At this time, Li Zhifu ran downstairs and reported: "I just counted and found that there are a total of 25 'strong' light and heavy machine guns in the entire bank building, of which there are four 'strong' high-firing machine guns, and one 'strong' on each floor. There are countless bullets, as well as many bazookas and recoilless guns...... The walls of the bank are also very thick, and it seems that the more devils have been prepared! β
"Hmm!" I nodded, Li Zhifu was right, when the besieged Vietnamese army was already in short supply of ammunition, there would still be so many ammunition and ammunition in the bank, and it would build a bank like a fortification, which is enough to explain a problem - the Vietnamese army has long hidden poison gas bombs here and made sufficient preparations. It's just that what they didn't expect was that this fortress was easily taken by us in this situation and became our fortification.
But that's not what I'm worried about now, I raised my binoculars and looked through the window into the darkness outside, and called out in a low voice, "Li Shui'bo, what's the situation?" β
After a long time, I didn't hear anyone answer, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I wouldn't lose one of my tiger generals like this! It's all to blame for not having a plan.
But just when I was blaming myself, Li Shui's almost inaudible voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, it's me who flashes the flashlight three times, don't shoot!" β
"The flashlight flashed three times?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder for a while, could it be that Li Shui 'Bo' dared to rush into the bank under such circumstances?
But after thinking about it, I still didn't hesitate to convey this order.
"Battalion commander! Look at ......" Looking in the direction pointed by Li Zhifu, there was a darkness quietly 'touching' us in the direction of the Vietnamese army, but it was quiet, but it was quiet, but it was a flashlight in his hand and it was shining and dimming at us......
"It's Li Shui's 'wave'!" Looking at me, I couldn't help but wonder what method this guy used to keep the Vietnamese army from shooting at him.
We pretended not to have found him, only to see Li Shui's 'wave' sometimes walking away and sometimes hiding in the crater, and sometimes using the 'shadow' shadow in the street and the abandoned vehicles as a cover to advance, and after a while he successfully approached the big 'gate' of the bank.
"Da Da ......" The Vietnamese army began to 'shoot', but what made me feel even more incredible was that the Vietnamese army turned a blind eye to Li Shui's 'wave' running towards us, and the bursts of machine gun bullets swept meaninglessly towards our bank building, and even deliberately avoided the bank 'gate', as if to attract our attention......
Finally, Li Shui' Bo rushed into the bank's big 'gate' in one breath, and the gunfire of the Vietnamese army also stopped abruptly at that moment.
"What's going on?" Although I knew that there must be an article in it, I didn't come up with a reason for thinking about it for a long time.
Li Zhifu and several soldiers also surrounded curiously, looked at Li Shui'bo' who was unscathed, and asked, "You are really a god, just ...... Just ran in? β
Li Shui 'Bo' patted the explosive 'medicine' bag in his hand and said calmly: "This is all its credit!" β
"Explosives packs?" The warriors are even more strange to hear.
"Hmm!" As if he had done a trivial matter, Li Shui 'Bo' nodded and replied: "I just asked the Vietnamese army officers to fight, saying that I was going to blow you up with an explosive 'powder' package......
The warriors couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, and it took a long time for them to burst out laughing.
I couldn't help but be amused by Li Shui's 'wave' words, especially when Li Shui' 'wave' said these words, the face was still serious, and I couldn't help but laugh.
But I have to admit that it's a good idea. Li Shui 'Bo' can speak fluent Vietnamese, and he is also fully equipped with Vietnamese army equipment, so it is certainly not easy to be found in the Vietnamese army's troops, so he asked the Vietnamese army officer to "touch" with the explosive "drug" bag and "touch" to blow up the big "door" of the bank...... With such a brave soldier suddenly running out of his subordinates, which commander would disagree! Maybe he will praise Li Shui for 'wave'...... So Li Shui' 'Bo' just ran in with an explosive 'drug' bag and ran all the way in to meet us, and those Vietnamese soldiers even used guns to attract our attention!
At this moment, I was thinking about what the Vietnamese soldiers would look like when they waited outside for the explosives packets to explode, only to find out that they had been fooled.
"You kid...... Really...... Yours is it! Li Zhifu held his stomach while pointing at Li Shui'bo and said with a smile: "Not only do you have nothing to do, but you also earned an explosive 'medicine' bag for nothing......"
The soldiers were already laughing almost, and they couldn't help but laugh again when they heard Li Zhifu's words.
"Not bad!" I patted Li Shui' Bo' on the shoulder and said, "I thought I wouldn't see you anymore!" β
"Report to the battalion commander!" Li Shui' Bo stood up and saluted me upright: "These are all taught to me by you, and only now do I understand why fighting a war is more important than marksmanship, but also brains!" β
"Hmm!" I nodded, and then I remembered that I did seem to have said something similar to Li Shui 'Bo' before, but I had long forgotten it, and I didn't expect Li Shui 'Bo' to remember.
"Report to the battalion commander!" Al Ziri's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "I found the enemy's tanks and a large number of troops, and the devils are about to attack!" β
"Prepare for battle!" As soon as I gave the order, the soldiers dispersed and returned to their combat posts.
I raised my binoculars and looked down the street, and sure enough, I saw the huge figures of three tanks appear in the circle of the telescope. Each tank was followed by a large number of infantry, and the black press rushed towards us like ants.
The fact that the Vietnamese army had very few tanks since the Battle of the Municipal Government was now able to mobilize three tanks against us is a testament to how much hope they had for the gas bombs in the bank.
But this is also normal, the current Vietnamese army has been besieged by our regiments, and it seems that only poison gas bombs can save their fate, so it is not surprising that they will put all their bets here.
"Twelve o'clock, three tanks!"
Looking in the direction of Alziri's guidance, three tanks sprang out of the houses across the street, and these tanks were already like crazy and did not avoid anything, whether it was a private house, a fortification, or anything, they rushed towards us all the way, and they had the courage to see God kill God and Buddha to kill Buddha, and then they were also followed by a large number of Vietnamese troops......
Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning, it should be said that tanks are indeed a powerful weapon for attacking the bank as a fortress. The bank's firepower is enough to block the charge of any infantry attack, so I don't worry about how many Vietnamese troops come up, but the only thing I am worried about is the Vietnamese tanks. The reason is very simple, there is no anti-tank trench outside the bank, and there is almost a flat river in front of the big 'gate', and the tank can rush into the big 'gate' of the bank with full horsepower and the fastest speed, unless we can blow it up in time......
"Boom ......"
The battle began when the Vietnamese tanks were three hundred meters away from our troops. 300 meters is exactly the range of the bazooka, and from this point of view, the Vietnamese commander has taken a cautious attitude, he does not want to see the few remaining tanks burned under our hands.
The Vietnamese army's tank guns and all kinds of direct-aim artillery came at us like crazy, only to cause the bank building to shake and cement blocks to fly everywhere, and occasionally a few incendiary bombs poured in from the windows into bursts of flames, and even set fire to the tables and chairs in the bank and the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers. The air was filled with the smell of gasoline and choking smoke and burning, and many of the fighters couldn't help but cough violently.
Fortunately, the bank building was built very strongly, and we left the window in time before the Vietnamese shelling, so this round of shelling did not cause us many casualties, but a few soldiers accidentally burned the flames of the incendiary bombs.
"Battalion commander!" Before the sound of the Vietnamese devil's artillery subsided, I heard an anxious report from Alziri: "The Vietnamese tanks are about to rush in......"
"Organize a bazooka interception immediately!" I yelled into the intercom.
But I also know how easy it is to say, the Vietnamese army's direct-aim artillery and machine guns have not stopped firing for a moment, the flames of incendiary bombs are still burning violently outside our windows, and the smoke and the heat of the flames make it difficult for us to even stand in front of the windowsill for a while, let alone aim at it.
"Tweet ......"
With a few rockets whistling, several rockets exploded far away, but these rockets were obviously 'fired' by the fighters in a hurry, so none of them could hit. However, I could still see clearly in the flames of the explosion that a T54 of the Vietnamese army rushed towards the big 'gate' of the bank like a wild horse on the loose.
It seemed that nothing could stop it anymore, and I could only watch it get closer and closer to us......
But this was not the case, and out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a soldier standing in front of the window holding a bazooka, and the flames of the incendiary bomb were burning in front of his 'chest', and even burned his military uniform, but he was still unmoved, still aiming at the tank like a stone statue.
Finally, he pulled the trigger sharply, and the rocket went straight to the tank through the flames in front of the window, and then with a "boom" it accurately hit the right side of the tank's belt, and the T54 barely drove forward for a while, and soon lost its direction due to the break of the belt and turned to the side and could not move.
And the warrior collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief.
"Comrade! Comrade ...... "I and several soldiers rushed up to extinguish the flames on his body, only to find that his 'chest' had been burned black.
Another tank rushed up with the sound of a "rumbling" motor, but the fighters who had already reacted from the bombardment of the Vietnamese army would certainly not let the Vietnamese army succeed easily, and more than a dozen rockets flew towards the Vietnamese tank with a whistling sound...... The hit rate was not high, but this time it was a numerical victory, and two of the rockets happened to hit the tank very coincidentally and inevitably.
"Kill!" Seeing that the charge of the two tanks was unsuccessful, the Vietnamese commander could no longer contain the anxiety in his heart, and commanded the Vietnamese troops to rush towards the bank building from all directions.
It's time to reap the lives of your enemies!
