Chapter 39: The Battle of Tongdeng (9)

Chapter 39: The Battle of Tongdeng (9)

After the dozens of Vietnamese soldiers were knocked to the ground by us, more than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers ran up in groups without comboding, and I don't know if they wanted to check the situation or rescue the wounded. But we don't care so much, and no one can see anyone clearly in this dark night, but under my orders all the soldiers are not allowed to get up, so that anyone who stands near us, let's just '' and shoot.

As a result, there is no doubt that there is a place of death in front of us. The Vietnamese army also fired a few flares in our direction, but it was very helpless that the jungle grass in Vietnam was high and deep, and it was difficult to see the enemy hidden inside even in the daytime, let alone under the flickering light of the flares.

After several useless attempts, the Vietnamese army finally gave up. All they could leave seemed to be the wails of the undead Vietnamese soldiers on the road. As soon as the shouts were too loud, the soldiers were a little annoyed, so soon someone threw a few grenades in the direction from which the shouts came......

With a few loud noises of "boom ......", the screams really fell in progression, and there were a few faint "hmm", presumably the wounded of the Vietnamese army also knew the fate of the loud screams, so they had to endure it desperately.

If this were normal, I think the soldiers would definitely not be heavy on these wounded of the Vietnamese army, and they might even go to rescue them. But now...... When the soldiers knew that the Vietnamese army was cruel to our wounded, we would no longer be polite to them.

But to be honest, the wounded are no longer a threat or a role on the battlefield. Not to mention that they are no longer capable of fighting, and the chances of being able to go to the battlefield again in the future are very small, and in some ways, they can even become a burden to Vietnam. At the very least, it will consume some of Vietnam's 'medicine' or manpower and material resources, so this is no longer for the purpose of war, but a kind of anger for them.

The idea of the warriors is actually very simple, that is, how you treat us, and how we vent our anger against each other, have already let reason and human nature hide far away

It was not until the next day, when it was very bright, that the soldiers came out of the grass at my command, and when they walked to the road, they were happy, and all the people lying on the ground were "ordinary people" with guns in their hands and magazines tied to their waists.

"Hey, it's fun to play this time" Junko shouted excitedly: "Look at you devils who dare to be arrogant"

"A few of the company commanders escaped...... Li Shui 'Bo' was careful, and as soon as he came up, he found blood stains in the ditch next to the highway and shouted: "They escaped from the ditch."

Looking into the ditch, it was true, there were several clear palm prints left on the mud at the bottom of the ditch, and the aquatic plants were also pressed from the side, and there were blood stains everywhere along the way, obviously there was more than one person who escaped.

"Damn it" Junzi couldn't help but scold: "These more devils are slippery like loaches and company commanders......"

After thinking about it, Shunzi added another sentence: "Let's follow the bloodstains to Tongdeng to find out the Yue devil."

"Tongden is going," I replied, "but not to find them out."

Junko's idea is too simple, the Vietnamese have a whole night to prepare, where will there be any tail for us to pull out these escapees. What if they were wounded? Ordinary people are not allowed to get hurt?

But we've achieved our goal now, and it doesn't hurt to let them escape a few.

"Report to the teams," I grabbed the walkie-talkie in the communicator's hand and called.

"The first group annihilated fifteen Vietnamese troops, without a single casualty"

"The second group annihilated 21 Vietnamese troops, without a single casualty"

"The third group annihilated six Vietnamese troops......"

The results of the battle were reported one by one, and we annihilated a total of more than 80 Vietnamese soldiers that night, but except for one soldier who was bitten by a snake, none of our troops died in the battle.

"Very good" I nodded and ordered: "All of them, don't clean the battlefield for the time being, make sure that every Vietnamese soldier has a gun on his back and a bullet, let's send the corpses of the Vietnamese army back to them"

"Yes," the fighters replied and began to move.

It seems that it is not difficult to do this, originally these Vietnamese people all had guns on their bodies, and it was enough to help them pick them up and put them on their backs, only those few who carried hoes to detect the wind did not have guns, and the soldiers also had a way, and they 'draw' a few grenades from other corpses to hang them. That's the proof...... Everyone is an armed element, and those Vietnamese people should stop relying on us to 'indiscriminately' kill ordinary people

After tossing, the warriors carried the corpses and walked towards Tongdeng. It took us a bit of effort, because we had killed twice as many enemies as we did on this side of the road. Moreover, the corpses of those Vietnamese soldiers were carrying guns and ammunition, and it was difficult for two people to carry one of them, so where would they be able to transport them...... As a last resort, I had to call in the help of other groups, and I was able to get on the road successfully.

Fortunately, Tongdeng Town was not far away, and a few minutes later, the soldiers barricaded the corpses on the street one by one under the terrified eyes of the "common people".

"Hello folks" I smiled proudly at those "common people" and shouted loudly: "For the safety of Tongdeng, from now on, we will be stationed outside the town every night, and in the future, the villagers will not go out to 'work' at night with 'tools', there is still a war outside, there are many bandits with guns like these......"

As I spoke, I pointed to the corpses piled up like a hill beside me, and then said, "We helped you kill a batch today, what will happen in the future, then I can't say."

There was a coax, and the soldiers couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard my words.

I raised my head at Hu Ziwen, who was beside me, and Hu Ziwen shamefully repeated my words in Vietnamese.

"Hey, do you see the 'color' on the face of the Yue devil?" On the way back, Junzi jumped up and called in front of the team: "Yesterday they still looked fierce, today, they don't dare to look at us."

"Isn't that right?" Al Ziri answered: "Let us fight like this, can we still be fierce?" ”

"If you want me to say," Li Shui 'Bo' said a few words in a sullen voice: "It's best that they can still be fierce, let's beat them again at night"

"I'm afraid it's not so easy" Yang Songjian smiled: "After such a big loss, fools know that they have to be reined in."

"This is a good method," said a villager who walked up to me and said, "Comrades who will not violate discipline and kill innocents indiscriminately, but who have died in the war are relieved."

"Give back to those 'ordinary people' a dismount," the deputy company commander 'interjected' and said: "Although we can't completely solve the problem of our army's logistics routes being disturbed by 'riots,' at least they don't dare to be so arrogant anymore."

I agree with the words of the deputy company commander, and this really does not solve all the problems. The reason is that Vietnam is a mountainous and forested place, and we are only controlling a small Dong Dang, and it is still at night. The Vietnamese army will quickly come up with countermeasures, such as setting out during the day to lurk in the mountains and then coming out at night......

Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we cannot do it with one company

"Report" At this time, a signal soldier ran up and said: "Company commander, call the regiment headquarters, let you go back to the meeting immediately"

"Hmm" Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at the deputy company commander beside me, there won't be any more tasks, we didn't sleep all night last night. However, it seems that I didn't tell the regiment headquarters about last night's sleeper operation. Commander Zhang only knew that we were on a curfew mission......

With the deputy company commander and a few guards, he trotted all the way to the regiment headquarters, and saw Commander Zhang and Political Commissar Huang worrying in front of the map, including Battalion Commander Ding and Battalion Commander Wu. So I thought, it must be not much different from what I expected.

Sure enough, after a while, Political Commissar Huang pointed to the location of the Guitun Fort and said: "Company Commander Cui, yesterday the 627th Regiment launched a fierce attack on the Guitun Fort, but the situation is not optimistic."

"Hmm" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, it turned out that the Guitun Fort had already begun to fight.

Didn't the original plan be to knock down Tan Mou and Tan Ridge first, and then concentrate troops to besiege the Guitun Fort? I think it's a good plan, that is, it can be broken individually, and it won't put pressure on logistics by going to war in multiple places. In other words, although our logistics are much easier now than during the Korean War, we are now being harassed by agents of the Vietnamese army, and it does not mean that we can have as much as we want

But now...... Tan Mou has just been beaten down and is not stable, and Tan Lang is still attacking...... It was really inappropriate to start a charge against the sturdy Gutun artillery at this time.

I'm just scared...... Maybe they saw that we had captured Tanmou so quickly, and then the enemy in Tanlong was also surrounded by the 628th Regiment and had no power to fight back, so they gave an order and couldn't wait to start the attack on the Guitun Fort.

"The 627th Regiment does not have enough understanding of the difficulties of attacking the Guitun Fort" was silent for a while, and Political Commissar Huang continued: "They think that the fort is just an independent firepower point, and they think that for other highlands, its terrain is low, and they think it is not very important. However, after the defeat of two attacks, it was discovered that the Guitun Fort was an underground fortress with strong enemy fortification and strong firepower. Moreover, it is connected with the surrounding unnamed heights, the Tongdeng railway station and the probing firepower point, forming a tight firepower zone centered on the battery between the Tongdeng railway station and the battery."

"Yes," a staff officer beside him also nodded and said: "The 627th Regiment made the same mistake as us, that is, the enemy situation was not clarified, and it did not make sufficient accuracy to attack the strong enemy as a weak enemy. I heard that their first attack was only a few minutes of preparation with artillery fire, and they simply set the task and began the attack. As a result, the various units did not even know the offensive route and did not know the mission, and when the enemy's fire was fiercely 'firing', communication communication was interrupted, and as a result, the entire attacking force was divided into four parts, fighting separately, and could not form a powerful fist......

"How big are the casualties?" I gritted my teeth and asked.

The command is 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', and the preparation is insufficient...... Such mistakes have occurred many times in our army, but I still have a lot of helplessness to watch these mistakes happen again and again.

"The specific number has not yet been counted" Political Commissar Huang lit a cigarette and shook his head and said: "But I think there will be no fewer casualties, because it was only the first attack, and more than 500 people were killed and wounded......

"More than 500 people" I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, and more than 500 living lives.

"We called you to ......" Political Commissar Huang glanced at me and said: "It's because the 627th Regiment is asking for reinforcements, and the 628th Regiment is besieging Tanlong, and it really can't 'draw' troops, so only our regiment can reinforce it." I think what do you think of sending your company and the troops of Battalion Commander Ding and Battalion Commander Wu to reinforce it? ”

"I don't have a problem" Battalion Commander Ding quickly expressed his attitude: "I dreamed of fighting another battle with Company Commander Cui, not for anything else, just to be happy."

"I don't have a problem either," I smiled.

In fact, I know very well that even if there is a problem at this time, it is useless, Commissar Huang is not called a request, it is an order. If I say yes, I'll be fine, but if I don't...... That ideological work is inevitable, and after being reprimanded, you still have to accept the task, so why bother?

And I also know that it makes sense for Huang Zheng to send us to reinforce the 627th Regiment. For nothing else, our troops have cooperated in the past, and we have also had the experience of living and dying together to break out of the encirclement of the Vietnamese army, so we are the only ones who can work closely together. In this way, the troops of Battalion Commander Ding and Battalion Commander Wu were left in the regiment, and the regimental headquarters might not be able to command them

"Battalion Commander Wu, what do you mean......" Looking at Commander Wu, who had not expressed his position, Political Commissar Huang asked with some concern.

Political Commissar Huang really needs to worry about it, the status of this tank unit in our army is not ordinary, although the official rank of Battalion Commander Wu is only a battalion commander, but if he really refuses, Political Commissar Huang really can't do anything about him.

So Political Commissar Huang added another sentence at the end: "We only need to build fortifications now, and there are not many places where tanks can be used, and the attack of Guitun ...... But I need ...... very much."

"Political Commissar I don't think of this" Battalion Commander Wu didn't wait for Political Commissar Huang to finish speaking, he interrupted him and said: "There is no problem to reinforce the 627th Regiment, but who is in command of this army?" ”

"Hmm" Huang Political Committee smiled meaningfully and replied, "Then it will be commanded by Battalion Commander Wu."

"No" Unexpectedly, Battalion Commander Wu refused: "I have a request, that is, let Company Commander Cui command"

"What?" Listening to Camp Commander Wu's words, Political Commissar Huang and Regiment Commander Zhang and others couldn't help but look at each other, this result was obviously beyond their expectations. Not only them, but even I couldn't think of this answer. And it seems that the company commander commands two battalion commanders......

"I'm also asking for this" Battalion Commander Ding also nodded and said: "Under the command of Company Commander Cui, I can rest assured that if it really doesn't work, I will be demoted to company commander, platoon commander or something."

Political Commissar Huang and Head Zhang smiled bitterly at each other, so the matter was settled.

"What's going on with this Tongdeng train station?" After going back and making a little preparation with the soldiers, I took the soldiers and set off towards the Ghost Fort. As I walked, I asked suspiciously, "That Tongdeng...... Haven't they all been controlled by us? Why did another Tongdeng train station suddenly pop up? ”

"Tongdeng Railway Station is not in Tongdeng Town," Instructor Xie replied, "Look at the map......"

Instructor Xie flipped out the map while running and said: "This railway station is between Tanmou and Guitun Fort, and it is still a few miles away from Tongdeng."

"Hmm" I understood.

In other words, in this war years, especially in the era when Vietnam and the U.S. military had just finished fighting, it was indeed impossible to build such an important facility as the railway station in Dong Dang Town. The train is the lifeline of the military, if it is built in Tongdeng Town, wouldn't it be too obvious? Moreover, Tongdeng Town is full of houses, and there are not a few 'doors' for high-altitude guns, and it is not a plane that clearly tells the US military - I will not fight back if you bomb it......

Therefore, it makes sense that the Vietnamese army would build the railway station near the Ghost Tun Fort.

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, Comrade ...... of the People's Liberation Army" At this time, a militiaman caught up behind him, who looked to be in his fifties, his dark face was full of wrinkles, and he was carrying a Type 56 rifle that was very inappropriate for his age.

"Comrade, what are you doing with us?" Junko turned around and shouted, "We're going to war......

The militia of the "comrade of the People's Liberation Army" seemed to be unable to keep up with us, and he was so anxious that he waved at us.

I couldn't help but stop in confusion, and ordered the signal soldier next to me: "Go, ask that fellow if he needs help."

"Yes," the signal soldier replied, turning back and running towards the militiaman.

Maybe it's because of the war abroad, but we always have a very special sense of intimacy with our own people. Especially in Vietnam, where the common people regard us as mortal enemies, there is no reason why we should not accept the request for help from our fellow villagers.

But it soon became clear to me that the old militia was not here to ask for help, but to help us, as I thought.

"Company Commander" After a while, the signal soldier came running back and reported to me: "He wants to see you, saying that he has something important to tell you."

"Hmm" I couldn't help but stop again, but I felt a little unhappy in my heart. Secretly said, what's going on with this fellow, we are fighting a war, if the military plane is delayed, it is not a trivial matter

"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army" saw the old militia running in front of me out of breath, and said breathlessly: "You...... You're going to fight...... Battery? ”

"That's right" I nodded, and I couldn't help but be wary: how did he know that we were going to play *? Could it be a Vietnamese army agent?

"I ...... My name is He Guoan," the old militiaman explained with relief: "When I was thirteen years old, I was arrested by the French...... Catch ......"

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, this fellow can't be crazy, right, tell me about him being arrested by the French when he was a child at this time? But unexpectedly, his next words made me stunned on the spot......

The old militiaman took a deep breath and continued: "When I was thirteen years old, I was captured by the French to repair the fort......"

"What? Have you repaired a fort? All of a sudden, all the warriors focused their eyes on the inconspicuous-looking old militiaman.
