Chapter 118: Dynamite Pack

Chapter 118: Dynamite Pack

Seven tanks lined up, with the sound of rumbling motors, covering the slow advance of the fighters. In order to allow the infantry behind to keep up, the tank advanced very slowly, and from a distance, it looked like a few snails with shells on their backs, slowly 'pressing' towards the enemy's line.

Two hundred and fifty meters!

The Vietnamese troops did not shoot, and their soldiers were still in the process of intense scheduling, some were building fortifications damaged by our artillery fire, some were erecting machine guns and nervously waiting for orders, and some were carrying ammunition and 'medicine' on their backs. The two T54 tanks also turned out of the street in a panic, but as soon as they saw the formation of our army, they said that they did not dare to meet them.

Two hundred meters!

The army tanks were still 'pressing' towards the Vietnamese army on their own, the smoke of artillery fire gradually dissipated, and the Vietnamese army's position slowly appeared in front of me.

OK! I saw through the binoculars that the defense line that the Vietnamese army had just built had been blown up by the artillery fire of our army just now, and except for those small buildings, which were a little threatening, the others were just a few positions temporarily constructed with sandbags, so the hanging heart was also put down.

One hundred and fifty meters!

The tanks have 'approached' the forward positions of the Vietnamese army, but the Vietnamese army still did not shoot, which fully proves that my decision just now is right, if the Vietnamese army is given more time to prepare, then the enemy facing our army may not be in this situation!

However, this can also prove that the Vietnamese army can calm down. Having used a rocket launcher to hit a tank, I know very well that the bazooka has a range of 300 meters, but because of its poor accuracy and its susceptibility to wind, it is actually difficult to hit the target at 200 meters. Did the devil deliberately put us closer and then fight......

With a few "......booms, booms," our tanks fired several shots at the Vietnamese troops, only to see a burst of fire, and the Vietnamese troops who were still busy organizing their defenses were suddenly blown up into the sky by piles.

At this time, the Vietnamese army began to fire back in a hurry, and suddenly the rockets and unseated forces were like fireworks in front of the position, but these weapons did not seem to have any effect on the front armor of our tanks, so although a ball of fire exploded on the tank, it did not stop the advance of our tanks, and the tank group still lined up in a neat formation to "force" the Vietnamese army.

At this time, two tanks faintly drove up in the street in the direction of the Vietnamese army, and I raised my binoculars to look at them and couldn't help but be taken aback - they were two T62s.

"Battalion Commander Wu!" I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "The enemy has two T62s coming up, immediately organize tank troops to block the enemy tanks in the streets......

"Yes!" Battalion Commander Wu responded and immediately passed on the instructions one by one. The three tanks quickly separated from the unit and headed straight for the T62 that was driving down the street.

As soon as the three tanks left, the four tanks covering the infantry were a little weak, and many fighters had to leave the tanks to find cover on their own, and the scene suddenly became a little 'chaotic'.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, one of the tanks on the left was suddenly hit and burst into flames. I raised my binoculars and looked in the direction where the explosion came from, but I was surprised to find that a group of enemies had appeared next to a building on the left flank, and was attacking the left flank of our assault unit under the cover of two T54s.

I secretly shouted that this is a dense area of the Vietnamese army, and although our army has much more troops than the Vietnamese army on the whole, our troops do not have an advantage at all in this local battlefield. Just like now, although the Vietnamese troops in front were caught off guard by us, their reinforcements were able to rush to attack our flanks at the first opportunity......

"Five in a row!" Seeing this, I hurriedly waved my hand at Li Zhifu and ordered: "Cover the flank of the attacking troops!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, and soon led the troops up.

The dense gunfire and explosions soon rang out, and I should say that I am not very familiar with this kind of street fighting, because all my combat experience is based on the battle for the high ground, and this is the first time I remember fighting street fighting. At this time, we are not competing for high ground, but buildings, and the higher the building, the more advantageous.

The Yue devils were very clever, they first captured a twelve-story building on the left, and then set up machine guns on the upper floor to suppress our firepower.

This made me regret it, because I knew very well that if such a building fell into the hands of the enemy, it would cause great resistance to our army's offensive. And if our army wants to take back these buildings, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Buildings are not as good as high ground, and high ground only needs to be captured by taking down the hilltop position, while building has to be attacked layer by layer from low to high.

The reason I didn't occupy those buildings in time was because I didn't have enough experience, and because we were always making 'holes' in the buildings and didn't even see two buildings of this height next to them......

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Li Zhifu's anxious voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The more devils occupied the supply and marketing building first, we can't rush over......"

"The more devils of the dog day!" Hearing this, I couldn't help scolding, grabbed my rifle and ran in the direction of Li Zhifu with the guards.

After going out, the 'door' turned a few corners in the alley, and soon saw the soldiers of the fifth company who were blocked in the alley. Li Zhifu saw me and hurriedly greeted me and said, "Battalion commander! The Yue devils have set up several 'Ting' machine guns upstairs, and we have already rushed twice, losing a dozen or so men......"

I peeked around the corner to see that more than a dozen soldiers had fallen on the way forward in an open space in front of the supply and marketing building, and the machine guns of the Yue Devils were still sounding wildly upstairs.

"What a name!" When I retracted my head, I scolded angrily: "Why do you have to rush from here?" ”

Li Zhifu replied puzzledly: "This is facing the big 'gate' of the supply and marketing building, don't rush to that ...... here."

"Nothing has grown at all!" I glared at Li Zhifu fiercely, and immediately ordered: "The first and second platoons are feinting here, and the third platoon is coming with me!" ”

"Yes!" In response, the fighters quickly set up a feint posture, the machine guns were set up and swept towards the building, the mortars were also fired at the upper floors one by one, and the third platoon was in the process of arranging its equipment and waiting for my order.

With a wave of my hand, I led the soldiers into the houses next to the alleys, and the best cover for fighting in such houses was actually the houses, which were next to each other, like a big open umbrella, and no one knew the exact location of anyone who drilled into it, like a fish into the sea. And Li Zhifu still doesn't know how to use it, which makes me sigh that his head is too rigid.

However, this seems to be normal, and it is indeed difficult for a soldier like him to turn his head around at times.

"Oh!" Seeing me leading the soldiers into the private house, Li Zhifu quickly understood what he was wrong, and he couldn't help but regret it with a red face.

At this time, I didn't care about this much, every minute we were late, we would make the attacking troops sacrifice a few more soldiers, so I took the soldiers to open the way with hammers all the way through the houses. Of course, there are occasional occasions when the warrior leans out of the window to determine the next direction.

"Battalion commander!" After advancing for a while, the platoon leader of the third row looked out the window and came to me to report: "In front of it is the supply and marketing building, but it is separated by a street more than ten meters wide!" ”

"Hmm!" When I heard this, I peeked out and saw that the building was in front of me, but it was separated by the street.

"Open the 'hole'!" I ordered, "Get your bazooka ready!" ”

"Yes!" The third platoon commander answered, turned around and directed the soldiers to get ready.

With the order of the commander of the third platoon, several soldiers swung their hammers and smashed a big 'hole' in the wall, and without our order, the bazooka 'shooter' pulled the trigger according to the 'hole' in the wall that had been opened.

With a "chirp," the rockets flew out along the 'hole' in the wall and hit the supply and marketing building across the street, immediately opening a big 'hole' in the side wall of the supply and marketing building......

"Up!" At this time, the third platoon commander did not need my command, and with a wave of his hand, he led the soldiers out of the 'door' and 'hole' and rushed towards the supply and marketing building across the street.

At this moment, the gunshots suddenly rang out, followed by the screams of the soldiers, I couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly pushed the soldiers who were about to rush out to the side, and several bullets flew in front of us with the sound of wind from the "door" and "hole".

The enemy was prepared, I casually 'pulled' off a brick on the edge of the "hole" in the wall and looked out, and sure enough, I saw that the side of the building on the second floor had let the Vietnamese army open a machine gun 'shooting' hole the size of a basin, and at this time there were two Vietnamese soldiers lying in it and shooting at us frantically. All but one of the dozen or so people who rushed out just now fell in a pool of blood, except for one soldier who was lucky enough to cross the enemy blockade.

What to do? Take out enemies with a sniper rifle?

However, the enemy's machine guns were almost constantly firing in the direction of the 'door' and 'hole', and the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side were obviously also veterans, and they did not mount the machine guns at the entrance of the 'hole', but set the machine guns at a position a few meters away from the 'hole' entrance, the outside was bright and the inside was dark, and I could not see the exact position of the Vietnamese troops inside at all.

Attack in a different position?

Since the Vietnamese army is on guard, even if we change positions, we will still face this situation......

Thinking of this, I could not help but be anxious, and if I did not quickly kill these enemies who threatened the flank of our army, I was afraid that our attacking troops would not only fail to capture the enemy's position, but would also suffer very heavy casualties.

I thought of withdrawing the troops. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time I've withdrawn from the battlefield in disgrace.

But at this moment, the tide of battle took a turn for the better, and the turnaround came from the warrior who rushed through the line of fire. If it were an ordinary person, I think it would definitely choose to go into the supply and marketing building to find a place to hide first, after all, it is very dangerous to be exposed on the street like this, and there are a lot of sundries to hide in the supply and marketing cooperative.

But the warrior did not do that, and under my astonished gaze, he ran back to the middle of the street as fast as he could, dragging the corpse of a warrior......

I couldn't help frowning, still dragging the corpse at this time?

The Viet Devil quickly spotted him, and the bullet immediately shifted to his direction, but the soldier ran very fast, and ran into the 'shot' of the Vietnamese machine gun in a few steps and leaned against the wall, but I found that one bullet still hit his right 'leg'.

What kind of people are these! Trying to drag a corpse with my life, I was so angry that I wanted to curse, but I soon realized that I was wrong to blame him, because by this time the warrior had already begun to unpack the explosives on the corpse's back......

"Well done!" I couldn't help but secretly praise, and now the success or failure of the battle seems to be on him.

But then the problem came again, the walls of the supply and marketing building were very smooth, and the 'shooting' hole was also very high from the ground, and the soldier looked up and down with the explosive 'charge' bag, but he couldn't find a place to support the explosive 'charge' bag.

As the minutes ticked by, the warrior couldn't find a place to put the explosives. I was also very anxious when I looked at it, and I was thinking about ...... If this is the case for me, I don't know what to do!

But then I suddenly saw that the soldier was putting a bayonet on his submachine gun.

On the bayonet? The warrior's behavior surprised me again...... What can be done with a bayonet? Could it be......

Before I could react, I saw the soldier pull the explosive bag and hang it on the bayonet, then raise the submachine gun and push the explosive bag to the hole in front of the hole.

I was stunned for a moment, and I watched in amazement as the warrior came back and waved at us, and then there was a loud "boom", and with a flash of fire, blood-red smoke mixed with dirt, stones, stumps, and blood rose into the air! The warrior disappeared from my sight in an instant......

"Rush!" The soldiers still needed my orders at this time, raised their weapons and rushed out of the 'door' and 'hole', and then in the blink of an eye, they entered the supply and marketing building and fought the enemy inside.

As I passed the street, I glanced over to where the warrior had stood, but there was nothing but a puddle of blood and a few pieces of 'meat'. I gritted my teeth and followed the fighters headlong into the supply and marketing building.

The Vietnamese army arranged the main force in the open field next to the building, but there were not many Vietnamese troops in the building, only a platoon or so, so we didn't 'spend' much time to solve the Vietnamese army on the first floor.

The third platoon commander was about to attack the upper floor with his troops, but I stopped him.

Attacking layer by layer is undoubtedly the most stupid way, and I am afraid that we will not fully control the building by then, and the battle will already be over.

"How many explosives packets did you bring?" I asked.

"There are a dozen!"

"Enough!" I nodded, except for the high-load soldiers such as rocket shooters or machine gunners, each infantry had to carry five kilograms of TNT explosives, so it was not surprising that a platoon would have a dozen explosive packs.

"Pass the order on!" I pointed to a beam in the building and said, "Tie the explosives package to the beam and prepare for blasting!" ”

"Yes!" The third platoon commander answered, and soon understood what I was trying to do, and turned around to make arrangements.

"Wait!" I thought about it for a while, and then ordered the third platoon leader: "Try to blow up the beam on the left, and leave a row on the right!" ”

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the third platoon commander, but he also understood that time on the battlefield did not allow him to ask too much, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to carry out my orders.

I know why the third platoon commander is suspicious, he is wondering why I want to leave a row of beams on the right, what he doesn't know is that I want the building to fall to the left when it is blown up, because the main force of the Vietnamese army is on the left......

The explosives were quickly tied, and more than a dozen explosives were tied to five large beams, each of which was tied with two or three explosives. During this period, the Vietnamese army also launched several charges against us, but we easily beat them back. The reason is that the Vietnamese army did not pay much attention to us, and their main forces were still in a hurry to deal with the charging troops of our army.

I think if they knew what was going to happen, they would have tried to stop us or run away.

It's a pity that they can't see the little things we're doing inside the house. So everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the Vietnamese troops outside the building didn't expect that death was approaching them step by step......

"Ignition!" As soon as I gave the order, the soldiers lit the fuse of the explosive packets, and in an instant, more than a dozen explosives packets "sizzled" white smoke. I hurriedly waved my hand and led the soldiers back the way I came.

In order to prevent the Vietnamese army from having the opportunity to pull out the fuse before the explosive pack exploded, the fuse we installed on the explosive pack was only 50 centimeters (the normal blasting fuse is generally 100 centimeters long), and the burning speed of the flame cord was 0.8 meters per second, which meant that we only had more than six seconds to evacuate. So I wondered if the building didn't fall to the left but to the right after the blast...... We are the ones who will be buried alive.

But fortunately, none of this happened to me, and as we were speeding through the 'holes' in the walls and houses, we heard a "boom" behind us.

I was lucky enough to be the first to walk out of the house, and watched the building slowly fall to the side, then with a thud, it fell like a giant.

It's a pity that the main forces of the Vietnamese army are on the other side of us, and I can't see their expressions at the moment before they were covered by the building. But I saw the surprise of the other fighters, who couldn't help but open their mouths wide and couldn't speak for a long time when they saw the building collapse and crush all the Vietnamese troops on the left flank. Even the Vietnamese soldiers in front of them were frightened by this scene, and some even forgot to shoot......

I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to Comrade Li Chengwen of the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 13th Frontier Regiment, who, while attacking a row of buildings occupied by the enemy, was wounded in the 'leg' and resolutely held up the explosive 'charge' bag with his hand in order to blow up the firepower point at the heights, and died together with the enemy's firepower point. In the same year, the Central Military Commission awarded martyr Li Chengwen the honorary title of "Dong Cunrui-style combat hero".
