Chapter 159: Gecko Tail Breaking
"Retreat 。." When the Vietnamese army retreated again helplessly under our defense, I immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Retreat?." When Ruan Wenqin heard this order, he couldn't help asking: "Battalion Commander Cui", "Battalion Commander Xu, they have not been able to establish a defensive line in the rear of our army after being ambushed, and they are only afraid of retreating at this time".
"We have no other way!." I replied: "The longer it drags on, the more troops will arrive in the Vietnamese army, and the more and more enemies will 'penetrate' into the rear of our army." If we continue to fight like this, we will only end up with the whole army being surrounded! …”
"So what do you want to do?" Ruan Wenqin asked again.
"I'll talk about it when we get there!." My face was very ugly, and I knew that there was only one way at this time, and that was to use the gecko tail to cut off the tail to keep the big army with a small army.
However, which small force could withstand the Vietnamese attack and ensure the retreat of the rest of the troops? There is no doubt that there is only this force in my hands.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the soldiers who were carrying out the order to retreat without hesitation, and they still believed in me as before, but what they didn't know was that just now, "I have made up a decision, and this determination may make them never return to their homeland and return to their homeland."
I'm ashamed of them, I'm a sinner, but I have to! For it is evident that none of the Regiments is capable of carrying out this task, and if I do not, I am afraid that none of us here will be able to leave this country that we hate and return to our homeland.
This time, the Vietnamese army was very sensitive and immediately knew that we were retreating, so they slowly followed from behind. The reason why their speed is not fast is that we will set up an ambush on the road" and second, it is to avoid the mines we have planted along the way, which also allows us to withdraw from the railway with the soldiers of the Anhui regiment in an orderly manner.
I am quite pleased that the soldiers of the Gill Regiment are no longer as 'chaotic' as they were before, because of the experience of the previous retreats. This also verifies what we said during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea: "The battlefield is a university hall, and every soldier who comes here will be tempered by the fire of war and blood!" …”
The distance of one kilometer is not far but not close, and after a few minutes we withdrew to the location where Xu Fan's troops were.
As soon as he saw us coming up, Xu Fan came up sweating profusely and reported: "Battalion Commander Cui" I didn't complete the task and failed to organize the troops.
"Now is not the time to say that! I interrupted Xu Fan's words and said, "What about the sixth company commander?" …”
"Sixth Company Commander?." Xu Fan was obviously a little dizzy because of the affairs of the troops, and he couldn't help but be stunned at this time, and it took a long time to realize that I was talking about the troops of his hometown, so he hurriedly replied: "The commander of the sixth company is leading the troops to attack the Vietnamese army's position!" Two heights have already been laid", "..."
As soon as I heard that my hometown people had laid two heights in such a short period of time, "I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, the more devils were really like I imagined, and they were retreating while blocking our army, which was also what I was most worried about."
So I immediately ordered Xu Fan: "Battalion Commander Xu" is now running out of time, and the battle situation no longer allows us to fight and retreat while covering according to the original plan. You immediately gather all the fighters of the Stills and prepare for a total retreat. Attention, you must not stop and garrison this retreat, you must retreat until you withdraw to your homeland! ”
"Total Retreat ?。" Xu Fan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously: "Battalion Commander Cui, there are Vietnamese troops in front of you!" If we forcibly retreat by rail, "I am afraid that we will be killed and wounded by the Vietnamese army.........
"My troops and I will attack the Vietnamese army with all our might!" I interrupted Xu Fan's words and said, "We will try our best to make the Vietnamese army have no time to deal with you, so you just retreat, don't care how many casualties there are, just bury your head and rush forward!" ”。
"What about you? What are you going to do?. Xu Fan seemed to understand something, and looked at me with a complicated expression.
"We? We have our own way to retreat! I replied, "Don't worry about that!" ”。
"No!." Xu Fan, who had always obeyed my orders, suddenly 'straightened' his chest at this time, and replied bluntly: "We can't leave you alone" You already have the grace to recreate our army, if we let you cushion again, then am I still human? Deputy Division Commander Liang and Regiment Commander Wu will not spare me"".
"What is unforgiving! I asked angrily, "Is there any company in your army that can withstand the attack of the Yue devils?" What unit has the means to take up this task? If you have one, I won't fight with you, you think I have nothing to do and I want to be a martyr, right? ”。
Hearing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a blue and red face: "No matter how you say it!" Even if we don't have you to fight, we'll fight with the more devils! …”
"What do you fight? I replied, "Swap your 300 men for more than 100 of us?" You have to know that this is not your business alone, you have to be responsible for the more than 300 people under your command, "you have to be responsible for their families!" ”。
As soon as I said this, Xu Fan had no more words, sighed heavily, took off his hat and squatted on the ground.
Is it worth exchanging more than 300 people for more than 100 of us?" I believe that if Xu Fan was alone, he would still insist on staying as a cover force.
And then he was not alone, and as I said, he also had to think about the more than three hundred soldiers under his command and their families. I can even say that even if I am willing to let Xu Fan's troops think that we are covering, it is very likely that their troops will not be able to escape the clutches of the Vietnamese army after a short time for their troops to be defeated.
So, this task naturally fell on our heads.
I patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and said, "Time is running out, go and prepare!" A little more time is more hope to withdraw. Don't worry", "You have also seen our combat effectiveness, and it is not so easy for the Vietnamese army to eat us!" …”
Xu Fan stood up and looked at me in a daze for a while, his eyes flashed and he couldn't tell what it was, a little like he wanted to cry, a little like a shameful puppet, and more of a feeling of 'excitement', "He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just 'straightened' up and gritted his teeth and responded, "Yes!." Then he turned and gathered his troops.
The moment he turned around, I noticed that he had secretly wiped a handful of tears from his sleeve.
In fact, I understand how Xu Fan felt at this time, he wanted to cry because he felt that he had no chance to repay us for this kindness: ashamed because he hated himself and his troops for being useless, retreating under our protection all the way, and still letting us sacrifice at this last moment; The reason why he was 'excited' but did not say it was because he felt that the favor they had received could not be repaid in any words or with a simple word "thank you..." is the so-called great grace without thanks, but I'm afraid that what he is talking about is his current situation!
I understand that Xu Fan is also a man, so it is also a considerable pressure for him to bear such a big favor and be unable to repay it.
It's just that "he has pressure, I don't want to pay it, it's just that he owes me, and I owe it to the soldiers!"
I almost didn't dare to face the soldiers under my command, but I still had to turn around and say to them, "Did you all hear what I said to Battalion Commander Xu just now?" …”
"I hear you!." The warriors nodded, and reacted calmly.
"What ideas can be said! That's all I said.
At this point, I don't want to say anything more about you being able to leave if you don't want to, not only because I've already said it once, but because I think it's an insult to them. And now the reality is that I have to leave them behind, and the strength of more than 100 people is already very small, if some of them are gone, "I have some doubts that we can successfully complete this cover mission."
In the past few years as a soldier, I have developed a 'sexual' personality, that is, I will say whatever I have in my heart, and I will not play hypocrisy with my own soldiers.
"No ideas!." Li Zhifu replied easily: "Isn't it just fighting devils?" Fighting one is also fighting, fighting a group is also fighting, anyway, we haven't fought less since we followed your Battalion Commander Cui, but this time there are more devils! …”
"That's it! The devils come up more, and we have a better fight! Xu Yongjian even raised the submachine gun in his hand and put on an expression of eagerness to try.
"Battalion commander, you just give the order!".
"Give the order! We will fight whatever you say! …”
The soldiers quickly showed their attitude one by one, and it was completely expected that they would make such a choice, because I knew them, because they were my soldiers, my comrades, and my brothers!
But I still feel guilty in my heart, and I will feel 'excited' about them" At this time, I was even more deeply adjourned to Xu Fan's psychology when he faced me just now. So I, like Xu Fan, didn't say anything, just nodded heavily at the soldiers.
In fact, there are times when there is no need to say so much between brothers and comrades-in-arms, I believe that they will understand me, understand me, and support me!
"Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen!." Then I turned to Nguyen Van Yen and said, "I should thank you for your help, but now", "Don't worry, as long as we can go back alive, we will try our best to help you",.
"If you say that, you won't treat us as brothers! Ruan Wenqin interrupted me and said, "I discussed with my subordinates just now, and they all want to be your subordinates and fight with you, including me!" …”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, I never thought that at this time, Ruan Wenqin and his party would be willing to stay."
