Chapter 119: Big Fish

Chapter 119: Big Fish

"Kill!" The charging troops of our army, which were suppressed by the fire of the Vietnamese army, did not have the threat of the Vietnamese troops on the flank, so they rushed towards the Vietnamese troops in front with a loud shout.

On the other hand, the Vietnamese army was still fighting well, and it can even be said that they had the upper hand on the battlefield, but because of the collapse of the supply and marketing building, they lost the cover of the entire flank, and at the same time lost the advantage of attacking our army on both sides, so the situation of the battle quickly changed.

However, the Vietnamese army is also worthy of being a unit with decades of combat experience, and even under such circumstances, it did not give up resistance, and still relied on various fortifications to fire pieces of bullets at our army. But sometimes on the battlefield only bravery is not enough, the fortifications built by the Vietnamese army are simply not enough to withstand the impact of our army's 59 tanks, even if they have T62 such a pioneering tank, but because they failed to come out of the alley in time and can not play their due combat effectiveness, the first one was besieged and destroyed by our army's three tanks, and the rest of them never dared to come out again.

So our soldiers rushed all the way under the leadership of the tank, the tracks of the tank ruthlessly pressed the trenches built by the Vietnamese army's sandbags, and the machine guns in parallel let out a roar of "da-da-......da-da" to beat the Vietnamese troops behind the trenches into a sieve. From time to time, the tank guns made a loud "boom" sound, and in an instant, the enemy's machine-gun positions were blown to smithereens. The 40 rocket launchers and 82 recoilless guns that had been following behind the tanks also fired rockets and shells that had been prepared for the enemy. Not to mention other fighters, the front and back of the tank were full of PLA soldiers running, grenades and submachine guns, only so that the Vietnamese army had no power to fight back at all.

Soon the Vietnamese defense line collapsed on the whole line, and they used the cover of the houses on both sides of the street to fight and slowly retreat, at this time, where would I let them go, simply let the 5th and 6th companies take advantage of the victory to pursue, and continue to use the old method to cooperate with the tank troops on both flanks to advance.

It seems that our army's battle against Vietnam has become a pattern, but when there is a task of attacking fortifications, let the tank units and infantry in the center of the street go on, and if there is no task of attacking fortifications, they will rely on the five and six companies on the two flanks to advance by smashing 'holes' room by room. This method was obviously beyond the expectations of the Vietnamese army, so until this time no suitable and effective method had been devoured.

But I have to admit that they almost succeeded in blocking our offensive just now, and if it weren't for the bombed-up supply and marketing building that overwhelmed a large number of Vietnamese reinforcements, I think our troops would have to pay heavy casualties here.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the place where the supply and marketing building fell, but I couldn't see anything except a broken cement block and broken bricks, and even the two tanks that had appeared in that location were gone.

"Battalion commander!" When I was directing the soldiers to chase and fight all the way behind the Vietnamese army, Li Zhifu returned from the front and said: "The city is not far ahead, should we slow down?" The order from the higher authorities was ......"

"Slowing down?" I interrupted Li Zhifu and said, "Call me immediately!" Take it down and talk about it, I'll be responsible for any problems! ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, turned around and quickly plunged into the battlefield.

Although I don't want to fall into the trap of "disobeying orders" again, I also feel that it is reasonable for our superiors to ask us to slow down and wait for other troops to advance, after all, this battle is not fought by one of our troops, and the overall strategy should be emphasized in fighting a war. But our army is now like an arrow off the string, and even if we want to, we can't take it back.

Besides, this place is only one step away from the municipal government, and there is almost no difference in the overall strategy between taking a step forward and waiting here, so it is better to simply fight it down and use it as a stronghold. At least I know that the building that is the municipal fǔ of Lang Son should not be so shabby or some kind of brick house......

Facts have proved my decision to be the right one! And it was precisely because of my decision that we were able to catch a few big fish that were not in a hurry to retreat in the municipal fǔ.

Although the Vietnamese army at this time had already taken precautions against us, they had to guard against the soldiers outside the window shooting at them, and on the other hand, they had to worry that a big 'hole' would open a big 'hole' in the side wall at any time and throw a few smoking grenades, which made them even more depressed...... They don't even know where these 'holes' will be opened......

So our army went all the way through the gates, cleaning up the houses house by floor, and after a while we came to a wall with triangular glass 'inserted' on the top of the wall, so I knew that we had arrived at the municipal government.

"Do it!" I waved at the fighters, and one of the bazooka 'shooters' who had already prepared pulled the trigger. With a "boom", a large part of the wall was blown down in an instant.

Without saying a word, I took the soldiers with me and rode the smoke of the bazooka into the gap in the wall......

There was a scream, and the image that appeared in front of us couldn't help but make us stunned - the walls were full of civilians staring at us with a pair of frightened eyes, most of them were old people and children, and some of them were 'women'. This is not surprising, most of the young and strong men in Vietnam have joined the army as soldiers, and the 'women' also serve as laundry shifts or coolies in the army, so the civilians in Vietnam are basically equal to the elderly, 'women' and children.

Looking at the tents and straw huts next to them, it was clear that they had been living here for some time. It is believed that this is entirely due to the fact that our army occupied the high ground on the outskirts of Lang Son as quickly as possible as soon as the battle began, so that a considerable part of the people of Lang Son did not have time to withdraw from here.

I don't know what the Vietnamese military has in mind to concentrate the people in the municipal fǔ, don't they know that the municipal fǔ is the place where our army must attack? This can almost be said to be a symbol of our army's defeat of Lang Son, and it can also partially destroy the command center of Lang Son City, so it is of great significance both militarily and politically.

But I think this is just another trick by the Vietnamese military to use civilians as shields! Because only by placing these civilians here, our army did not dare to directly bombard the municipal fǔ with long-range artillery......

Seeing this, the soldiers couldn't help but turn their eyes to me, not knowing what to do next.

To be honest, I was also very embarrassed at this time, did I shoot? There may be foreign journalists in the municipal fǔ, and more importantly I am a soldier, not a murderer. Don't shoot? It is very likely that the Vietnamese army will be among these civilians, and if we go in like this, we will probably fall into the trap set by the enemy's 'spirit'.

But while I was hesitating, a few Vietnamese soldiers flashed out of the civilian population and quickly solved my problem.

I don't know if those Vietnamese soldiers are stupid or can't hold their breath, maybe they are just militiamen who maintain civilian order. But I don't care who they are, and since they're all guns pointed at us, there's no reason for me to sit back and wait. So he raised his rifle and "banged" a few times, knocking the Vietnamese soldiers holding AK47s to the ground.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the Vietnamese people immediately became a 'chaotic' mess, and the crowd poured towards the municipal building like a 'tide', the tents were knocked down, the pots and pans were all over the floor, and there was even garbage, feces, and the like, making the square stink. But at this time, we didn't care about so much, so we raised our rifles and followed those people closely behind the people towards the government building......

This is our best chance, and with the Vietnamese people standing in front of us, we can take this political building without much effort. I don't think those Vietnamese soldiers would have imagined that the people who had always been used by them as shields would now become our weapons.

However, I soon realized how ridiculous my idea was, because by this time the Vietnamese troops in the municipal fǔ had already opened fire......

"Da ......" a dense burst of bullets poured down, and the people running in front of us fell in pieces like harvested rice in an instant. All of a sudden, the people were crying and shouting, and they stayed where they were, neither advancing nor retreating, and I think they would never have imagined that their army would shoot at them until they died.

We didn't expect it, and the fighters were stunned. But what we thought was impossible happened in front of our eyes.

"Livestock!" I couldn't help but curse secretly, and at this time, I would have preferred that foreign reporters would be present to take pictures of the unconscionable scene of the Vietnamese army. But at the same time, I also know that even if there are foreign journalists present, it is useless, the devils are already crazy, they can do everything. They could have killed foreign journalists and blamed them on our army, and they would even make a big deal in the media about how our army slaughtered their civilians......

This once again made me realize that in military and political affairs, there will be no conscience, everything is for the purpose of being able to defeat the opponent, and as for what public opinion and what popular opinion, as long as you hold the gun in your hand and play some tricks, it will soon be calmed down. The so-called success and defeat are no different.

"Up!" As the soldiers watched this horrific scene in amazement, I gritted my teeth and ordered: "Defeat the municipal fǔ and kill all those animals for me!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters answered, and immediately dispersed and aimed their weapons at the building.

But the problem is that the civilians are in front of us, and it is difficult for the soldiers to target the Vietnamese army through them.

"Get down! Get down ......," one of the warriors rushed forward, shouting at the people and pushing them to the ground. But before he could push down a few people, suddenly a row of bullets flew over and hit him.

"Wang Zhanguo!" I heard the screams of the warriors behind me, as if trying to pull him back, but the lovely warrior slowly fell to his knees before our eyes, and then fell to the ground lifelessly.

"The more devils of the dog day! I'm fighting with you! "I heard the angry cries of the soldiers behind me, and then, without any need for my command, the soldiers pulled the trigger and 'fired' the bullet forward.

Of course, there are also Vietnamese people who are among us who have fallen under the bullets. As the so-called city 'gate' loses the 'gate' and affects the pond fish, no one can guarantee the safety of the people on this kind of battlefield where you are either dead or alive. Not to mention...... At this time, our army was basically mixed with the souls of the people, so most of the casualties of the people were caused by the Vietnamese army.

This is not? The grenades that were thrown at us, the rockets that flew at our troops, and the rows of bullets that didn't have long eyes...... AK47 didn't have any 'refinement' in the first place, but relied on bullets to win, so the Vietnamese army would fight like this, which can only show that they didn't care about the life and death of those people at all.

When Battalion Commander Wu's tank troops broke through the walls of the municipal fǔ and entered the battlefield, they were also stunned by what they saw, and it was not until I ordered them to open fire on the enemy on the building that they reacted and fired shells and high-altitude machine gun bullets at the enemy. Suddenly, the building was beaten into a piece of stone powder, and screams were repeated.

With the support of tanks, the firepower of our troops quickly prevailed, so the fighters roared and rushed into the municipal building with rifles.

I don't need to worry about the rest anymore, there is the heavy weapons of our tanks outside the building, and the attack of my angry five companies of soldiers with grenades and submachine guns inside the building, it is difficult for the devil not to die.

So I didn't rush in with the soldiers, but looked at the corpses of the people who fell to the ground between the two armies and the blood flowing everywhere. The people who have been killed are nothing, I have seen a lot of corpses, but those who survived...... It can also be said that the old people and children, some were so frightened that they shivered and stared at me with a pair of frightened eyes, some looked at the corpses on the ground in a daze, and some of the injured ones let out bursts of wails and cries on the ground, so that I couldn't help but want to get away from all this, and go as far as possible!

But after taking a deep breath, I finally pressed the urge. The reason is simple, I am the commander of this force, and I must not just walk away.

By the time I walked into the municipal building with the guards, the sound of gunfire and explosions had thinned out. It also heralded the end of the battle soon.

The building was a mess, full of bombed-out doors, windows, corpses, bullet holes, documents strewn all over the floor, and the white paper was often sprayed with bright red blood, which was shocking to look at.

At this time, Li Zhifu and several soldiers walked down with a few prisoners, and I couldn't help but look at Li Zhifu suspiciously, what I didn't understand was that he would still be alive in this situation.

Li Zhifu also understood what I meant, and came up to report: "Battalion commander, I look a little strange at that bearded Yue devil, he can speak Chinese fluently, so I want to bring it down for you to see!" If you don't think it's useful, then I'll bring them up again......"

Needless to say, I understand what this means. However, as soon as I heard that this Yue devil could speak fluent Chinese, I became a little interested.

There are a lot of Vietnamese devils who can speak Chinese, and I think that when our country and Vietnam were still in a relationship of "comrades and brothers", the Vietnamese army did not have a lot of 'friendships' with our army. But most of the Vietnamese military learned Chinese only a little bit of 'hair', and if they can reach the level of "fluency", then I think there are only two possibilities - he is either a translator, or he has spent a long time in China.

If it is a translator, then needless to say, I will naturally ask Li Zhifu to "bring people up". However, if you have been in China for a long time, it is very likely that you have studied at a Chinese university...... This also means that this guy has a bit of a background. It is precisely because of this that Li Zhifu will bring this group of people down for me to "see".

I looked the bearded Yue devil up and down, and found that although he was wearing an ordinary soldier's uniform, it didn't fit, and his wrists were even a lot shorter. So I guessed that this guy should be an official, and he wouldn't be wrong.

"What's your name?" I asked casually.

"Comrade! My name is Li Ji! He nodded and said with a smile: "I know that the PLA treats prisoners preferentially, so I surrender." I'll take care of it! ”

Li Zhifu said it well, he is really fluent in Chinese, and he will know such a word as "'handover' to explain the problem" with Chinese characteristics, it seems that a big fish can't run.

"What rank are you?" I continued.

"I'm a translator!" Li Ji replied, "Look...... That's why I speak Chinese so well, isn't it? ”

I squinted, and it was clear that what the guy was saying wasn't the answer I was looking for.

But I didn't care, so I bowed my head to Li Zhifu and said, "You can take them with you!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, pushing the Vietnamese soldiers and about to go upstairs.

Li Ji's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and suddenly he said helplessly like a wilted cabbage: "Comrade! I am the colonel of the 42nd regiment, please treat the prisoners preferentially! ”

It turned out to be a regimental leader, and I couldn't help but be happy. At the same time, he secretly said that this more devil is brave when he is a soldier, but these officials are not very good! However, this does not seem surprising, saying that Vietnam is a country with the first military in this era, and there are many privileges for officials, and it is often these high-level officials who are used to being used to being powerful and enjoying themselves, the more they will cherish their lives. In other words, the more afraid you are......

"Battalion commander!" At this time, the correspondent hurriedly ran up with a walkie-talkie on his back, handed over the microphone and whispered: "It's Master Wang, it seems to be a little unhappy!" ”

"What kind of fame are you doing!" As soon as I took the microphone, I heard Master Wang reproach on the other end: "Why don't you listen to orders?" Comrade Cui Wei, you can play well, but you can't be so unorganized and disciplined......"

"Divisional Commander!" I glanced at Li Ji and interrupted Commander Wang's words: "We have captured a regiment commander, he said that he is the commander of the 42nd regiment, and there are a few ......."

I raised my head at Li Ji with an inquiring gaze, Li Ji smiled bitterly and looked at a few people around him, and replied, "Chief of Staff!" ”

"And a couple of chiefs of staff!" I said into the microphone.

"What? Caught a regimental commander? As soon as Master Wang heard me say this, he was not angry, and immediately ordered: "Bring them back immediately!" ”

After a pause, he added: "Be sure to keep them safe!" ”

Note: The headquarters of the 42nd Vietnamese Regiment was actually surrounded by our troops on the 279 heights in the northern district of Lang Son, but because our army did not know the situation at that time and was too tired, it did not launch an attack, so that the headquarters of the Vietnamese Regiment was able to escape in the night. I'm here for a while, I hope you don't get surprised, hehe......
