Chapter 143: Ambush
Finally another chapter, I'm tired to death, but fortunately tomorrow is the weekend, I can sleep in, hehe!
Chapter 143: Ambush
"Do what Camp Commander Cui says!" When Regiment Commander Wu was hesitating whether or not to adopt my opinion, Deputy Division Commander Liang's words played a decisive role in 'sexuality' at this time. So Commander Wu had no choice but to answer, and immediately passed on my order.
In fact, the object of Regiment Commander Wu's order was only a battalion of troops, and with the help and guidance of Xu Yongjian and others, they were very orderly divided into two teams and hid in the jungle on both sides. This is the advantage of having veterans in a unit, and it seems that the troops used this model in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, that is, to use a veteran with two or three recruits to learn while fighting on the battlefield, and the recruits have to study hard in order to survive, and at the same time, because of the guidance of veterans, the opportunity to make mistakes will be greatly reduced.
Now we are almost like this, although the unit in my hand is not a veteran, most of them have only been in the army for more than two months, but their experience on the battlefield is much richer than that of the soldiers of the 608th Division, so their movements can be quite satisfactory to me, both to be able to conceal and no one to be cowardly, I just faintly heard the "cough" sound made by some soldiers' teeth chattering up and down, and several soldiers fell to the ground several times with weak feet......
But this is also understandable, the first time to participate in the battle, no one is this moral 'sex'! Fortunately, the soldiers at this time were talking and laughing all the way, so these sounds did not attract the attention of the Vietnamese troops who were ambushed in the jungle on both sides.
This is also the reason why I didn't ask Regiment Commander Wu to tell the news to the second battalion that walked in front, the reason is very simple, they are all recruits who have never fought before, if you tell them that there is a Vietnamese army in ambush ahead, the higher authorities have decided to use you as a 'lure' bait to attract the attention of the Vietnamese army, so you must continue to move forward quietly......
Is it possible? It's not that I'm willing to play 'yin' like this, but once I tell the 2nd Battalion like this, the 2nd Battalion will immediately become a 'chaotic' mess, and not only will we not be able to wipe out the Vietnamese army, but it is also very likely to cause greater sacrifices and casualties.
Because what I have taken into account is that if the Vietnamese troops who are ambushed here are not severely damaged, then they can completely rely on the advantage of being familiar with the terrain to immediately transfer their positions and rush to the front of our army after fighting an ambush here, and then set up an ambush circle, and then the next ...... Unless they run out of bullets, their ambush can be said to be endless, and it is difficult for our army to move an inch. So I don't need to say much about what awaits us next......
This plan is indeed unfair to the 2nd Battalion, but it is fair to the entire army! There are often such dilemmas on the battlefield, and I am often the one who is the bad guy. I think...... After this battle, all the soldiers of the second battalion will itch their teeth with hatred. But it can't be helped, even if I have to choose again, I will still do it!
Accompanying the second battalion in front was the fifth company, and I was relieved of the quality of this unit, so all I could do was to tell Li Zhifu through the intercom that they should be ready for battle, and once the battle started, we should immediately organize the fire of the soldiers of the whole company to cover the retreat of the soldiers of the second battalion......
Since the ambush of the Vietnamese army had been discovered, the front finger naturally did not follow anymore, and I took Deputy Division Commander Liang to climb to a commanding height around the corner, and the two raised their binoculars to look at the second battalion walking in front.
Under the starlight, the warriors did not know what was going on in front of them, and still walked forward on their own. Among them, I could see that some of the soldiers were more stiff in their movements, and from time to time they glanced vigilantly at the jungle on both sides with guns in their hands - no need to guess, these must be the soldiers of the Fifth Company.
People are like this, it doesn't matter if they don't know the danger, but once they know the truth, then it's impossible for anyone to stay calm as always when they know that someone is pointing a gun at them next to them, even if it's a soldier of the fifth company. From this point of view, I somewhat regret that I informed them beforehand. Fortunately, the Vietnamese army did not seem to notice this.
The soldiers walked in front of this dangerous area like long snakes, one after another, and in the binoculars, I could vaguely see that the soldiers walking in front had crossed the dangerous area, but the Vietnamese army still did not move.
"Could it be that the spearhead is mistaken?" Deputy Division Commander Liang lowered his voice and asked, "On what basis did the soldiers conclude that there was an ambush by the Vietnamese army in this area?" ”
I don't know what to say, in fact Alziri has no evidence, he didn't see anything, of course there is no "why", if you really want to say anything, it is by feeling......
So I could only reply, "Wait!" I'm just guessing, it's always right to be careful! ”
"Hmm!" Deputy Division Commander Liang responded, perhaps remembering that we deliberately concealed the information from the Second Battalion, so his face was slightly ashamed and unhappy. It made me feel like I was a villain.
But what kind of person can be considered a villain? Coming down from the battlefield, I know very well that sometimes this kind of villain behavior is necessary for the benefit of the whole army. After all, there is no morality to talk about on the battlefield, there is only life and death here.
The troops continued to move forward, and the soldiers still talked and laughed all the way, and at this time, most of the troops had passed safely, and there was no danger at all.
"Battalion commander!" Al Ziri's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and he said a little embarrassed: "Maybe I'm too suspicious, always suspicious, I think I'm still not very suitable to be a top soldier......"
"Wait!" I replied quietly.
"It's supposed to be a false alarm!" Deputy Division Commander Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Cui, I was really scared out of sweat by you, your command may be right, it is for the interests of the entire battle and the overall situation, but if there is really an ambush by the Yue devils, then I don't know how to face those soldiers in the second battalion......"
"Bang ......" At this moment, with a crisp gunshot, the mountains shrouded in starlight suddenly burst into a volley of guns, and the jungles on both sides of the mountain road suddenly 'shot' a line of bullets, which were like a big net towards the pressure of our soldiers on the middle mountain road.
When everyone, including me, thought that there should be no Vietnamese ambush there, the Vietnamese army suddenly attacked. Later, when I thought about this battle, I realized that the Vietnamese army was very accustomed to the way our army marched, just like the marching sequence we had set before: the second battalion, the first battalion, and the regimental commander...... And then three battalions.
The Vietnamese army is too familiar with the combat habits of our army, so they know very well that our army will generally arrange the headquarters in the part of the third or two parts of the ranks, and they want to knock out the headquarters of our army in one strike, so that once it succeeds, our army will definitely be 'chaotic' in a situation where there is no one to command, and it will be much easier to eat us at that time.
Their wishful thinking is that they played well, and if it was in the past, maybe they would have succeeded, but unfortunately this time their actions only proved that Al Ziri's feeling was right!
Our soldiers who were marching were suddenly ambushed by the Vietnamese army's fierce fire on the undisguised terrain, and many soldiers immediately gave their lives before they had time to react, and the soldiers fell in a pool of blood with screams one after another.
Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but feel a 'twitch' in my heart, because I felt that I had sent them to the enemy's guns, and I had taken their lives......
"Hit!" Without much thought, I quickly gave the battle order over the walkie-talkie, but I didn't need to give the order at all, because I then realized that the gunfire in the jungle on both sides of the battle had become a 'chaos'.
The soldiers of the battalion who had already infiltrated the woods knew the exact location of the Vietnamese troops at the moment when the Vietnamese soldiers opened fire, so they quickly and quietly covered the flanks of the Vietnamese troops under the leadership of the veterans...... If they had been patient a little longer, and had come a little closer before firing, I think the results would have been greater, but unfortunately the recruits simply couldn't endure that, so the battle began before I gave the order.
But even so, it was enough to make those Vietnamese soldiers unbearable. The tide of the battle quickly reversed the moment the battle began, and the Yue devils, who originally thought that they were hiding in the shadows to ambush our army, did not expect the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, and suddenly they were ambushed, and as soon as they came up, they were surrounded by our army on three sides - there were soldiers of the second and fifth companies in the front, a reconnaissance unit led by Al Ziri in the north, and a battalion of troops in the south that had long been lurking in the woods.
The Vietnamese army was all veterans of a hundred battles, and they did not expect the situation to change so quickly, so as soon as the war began, the Vietnamese army was in a big 'chaos', and hurriedly divided into several parts to deal with the attack launched by our army from three sides. However, the number of Vietnamese troops is not large, so the firepower of several parts is too thin, so the firepower of our soldiers easily overwhelmed the Vietnamese army and "pressed" closer and closer, and "forced" closer and closer......
I can't see how the PLA soldiers from other directions fought, but the 2nd Battalion, which was hit by Vietnamese fire on the road, was 'aroused' to hate the Vietnamese troops, and all of them 'fired' bullets at the Vietnamese troops surrounded in the jungle with their weapons, and some even 'held' bayonets and rushed into the jungle.
"Kill!" A few minutes later, with a wild roar from the soldiers, our soldiers broke through the Vietnamese defense line with bayonets, followed by a burst of screams from the jungle.
I'm not worried that the fighters will lose, because fighting bayonets is two fists and four hands, and even if the devils have experience, they can't defeat the soldiers, not to mention that there are still those soldiers under my command here!
