Chapter 161: Go Home for Us

Chapter 161: Go Home for Us

Soon all kinds of artillery were concentrated, including mortars, recoilless guns, and bazookas, in short, everything that could be found in the battalion and could still 'fire' shells. Although the range of direct-aim guns such as bazookas and recoilless guns is not very long, we have the advantage of being condescending, and this time we don't seem to need to be 'precise', we just need to be able to hit these shells over the forest.

The soldiers were also prepared, all of them were ready, they had their bags, they had brought dry food and bullets, and their rifles were loaded with bayonets, ready to fight the Vietnamese army to the death.

But I never gave the order to open fire, because I knew that if we went on like this, the strategic intent would be too obvious. We used all the artillery fire to bombard the forest, and as long as the Vietnamese army is not a fool, I think we know that we have to break through in the direction of the forest, so even if we can successfully blow up the Vietnamese troops hiding in the forest, the other Vietnamese troops will quickly converge into the forest to plug this gap.

So I was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the moment when the Vietnamese army would charge us again.

I needed the gunfire and artillery at that time, and I also needed the Vietnamese army to have rushed out of their positions, and I also needed the Vietnamese army to take the high ground of our army, even if there was no one on this high ground at that time...... However, it would be better if there were still people guarding this high ground, which would not only delay the Vietnamese army's confusion about our army's strategic intentions, but also disperse the Vietnamese army's forces and delay their pursuit of our army's main force......

But I took into account one thing, and that is that the remaining troops obviously have no hope of survival, so I don't know how to speak, and I am even more reluctant to make a choice among the troops! Because each of them is my comrade-in-arms, and each of them is my brother who shares life and death, I don't want to leave them here to die!

"Report to the battalion commander!" At this time, Xu Yongjian dragged an injured 'leg' and limped in front of me. His 'leg' was a stray bullet that hit the big 'leg', and it didn't hurt the bones or break the blood, but the bullet was still in it and didn't have time to take it out in a hurry...... In order to be able to enter the battle in time, he casually 'got some injuries' and 'medicine' and used a pack of bandages to forget the matter.

At this time, after walking a few steps, his face was so painful that his face was 'chaotic', but he still forced himself to pretend to be casual and said, "Battalion commander! I don't think your breakout plan is a bit out of place......"

"I don't need you to say it!" As soon as I heard Xu Yongjian's words, I understood what he wanted to say, and immediately refused: "I'm sorry I don't know about myself!" ”

"No, battalion commander!" Xu Yongjian puffed up his chest and said: "I must say that there is no discipline in our army that does not allow people to speak!" I've only heard that if something is wrong with the superiors, we may also make suggestions to the subordinates! ”

"Hey!" Xu Yongjian's words made Li Zhifu a little unhappy, and as soon as he raised his head, he said to Xu Yongjian: "I said the fourth company commander, did you take the wrong 'medicine' or what?" Talk to our battalion commander like that? ”

Xu Yongjian's face turned red, and he glanced at me with some weakness, but he still bit it and continued: "No matter what! I just have something to say......"

"Less nonsense! Prepare me for battle! I interrupted Xu Yongjian's words angrily, and I was about to walk away with my rifle.

But I didn't expect Xu Yongjian to still not give up, and grabbed me in front of me in a few steps and stopped me and said, "Battalion commander, this may be my last few words, can't you listen to my thoughts?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that I acquiesced, Xu Yongjian's face showed a hint of joy, and he turned to the soldiers around him and said, "Comrades! My idea is this, the battalion commander wants to take us all away, but it is clear that this is impossible! Look at my legs......"

Xu Yongjian showed his injured 'leg' as he spoke, and then said: "We are all people who rolled down with the battalion commander on the battlefield, and we all know that the breakthrough is about speed, but if you bring the wounded to break through, can you still have speed?" Can you make a breakthrough? ”

When Xu Yongjian said this, the soldiers almost understood what he meant and thought, and their faces all 'revealed' a sad look.

Then Xu Yongjian turned to me again and said: "So in order not to drag the back 'legs' of the troops, and at the same time to ensure that the troops can break through smoothly and not all of them will die here, on behalf of all the wounded who are unable to move, I ask the battalion commander to let us stay!" I have already talked to the wounded just now, and we have at least two advantages in staying, one is to attract the attention of the enemy, and the other is to drag their main forces......"

"Say no more!" The hometown people interrupted Xu Yongjian's words and said: "We will not leave you alone, if you want to die, we will die together!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu and the other fighters also replied: "If we want to die, we will die together, we must go together!" ”

"Battalion Commander......" Xu Yongjian could only turn his gaze to me in the end, and he couldn't tell what kind of taste it was, there were begging, moving, and something else. I can't see it, because it's too complicated and changing too fast.

"I agree!" I nodded with difficulty, gritted my teeth, and said, "You guys stay and take on the cover mission!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Yongjian's face was 'delighted' and 'colored' towards me.

However, the other soldiers did not agree, and rushed to me one after another and said, "Battalion commander, we can't leave them alone like this!" ”

"Yes! Isn't that leaving them to die here? ”

……

"Don't talk about it!" I replied coldly, "Execute the order!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Time is running out, get ready for battle...... Say goodbye to the fighters! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded helplessly, and walked up one by one to shake hands with the wounded soldiers and hug each other.

"Brother, take care!"

"Goodbye, comrade!"

"Farewell!"

……

There were twenty-seven wounded soldiers with limited mobility, and this was supposed to be their sad time, but the scene that appeared in front of me was completely opposite. The wounded soldiers were very strong and smiled goodbye to the soldiers, but the soldiers were secretly wiping tears one by one......

I also walked up and shook hands with them one by one, and every time I shook hands with a wounded soldier, I would look at their faces, I wanted to remember their smiles, and when I look back on it one day, I will know who stood up at the last minute to stand up for us.

The sound of "......" artillery suddenly sounded, so we knew that the Vietnamese army had begun to attack us again, and it was also time for us to break through.

So I finally shook Xu Yongjian's hand, gritted my teeth and ordered: "All of them!" Get ready for battle! ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and soon took up their weapons and took their positions.

Xu Yongjian and the 27 wounded soldiers soon dispersed with the help of the soldiers to defend the south, west, and north sides, and the soldiers helped them to the firing point one by one, set up machine guns for them, and placed bullets, grenades, and explosives 'medicine' bags beside them.

Twenty-seven soldiers were distributed on three sides, and there were exactly nine on each side, although the strength was relatively thin, but everyone was either light machine guns or heavy machine guns, so the firepower was not weak, and the enemy could not rush up for a while and a half.

That's when we started thinking about breaking out, and under my leadership, the fighters were all concentrated in the east. Because we were worried that the enemy would prematurely discover our army's intention to break through, we only arranged for a dozen soldiers to firing a few rows of bullets at the attacking Vietnamese army. The rest of the fighters were almost all in one piece, either with bazookas or with recoilless cannons aimed below......

I hid behind a rock and poked out my binoculars to look down, and there were not many people coming up from the Vietnamese side, and there was only one platoon of troops. The more of them hiding in the forest, the easier it will be for my plan to open the way with cannonballs succeed.

Without further ado, it's almost dawn and we don't have much time. So I immediately ordered into the walkie-talkie, "Fight! ”

Suddenly, the sound of all kinds of artillery firing became one, and with the characteristic "chirping" sound of the bazooka, the rockets with long tails flew straight towards the forest like flying technical planes in the air, and then only the sound of a boom was heard......

Sure enough, just as I thought, whether it was a rocket, a recoilless artillery shell, or a mortar shell, it hit the dense forest and collided with the branches in mid-air and immediately exploded, and with the bursts of flames and smoke, those shells exploded the branches everywhere, and in an instant, shrapnel, branches, and wooden blocks flew everywhere like sharp arrows, and occasionally there were a few incendiary bombs in it, and the flames were even more like fireworks.

In fact, I didn't let the soldiers 'fire' the incendiary bombs, because I was afraid that the flames of the incendiary bombs would block our own retreat, and I think it was because the soldiers didn't see clearly because it was dark, so they gave the incendiary bombs to the souls.

But now it seems that the effect of this incendiary bomb is not bad, because those fires have not completely blocked our retreat, as long as we can rush through in time, the ignited fires may still be able to block the Vietnamese army.

"All of them!" Thinking of this, I ordered the soldiers: "Don't turn back, just go forward!" Rush ah......"

"Rush!" The fighters threw away the guns as fast as they could, picked up their rifles and rushed down the slope.

At this time, I heard Xu Yongjian behind me shouting at us: "Battalion commander! Comrades! Go home for us! Go home for us...... "RO!" ~！
