Chapter 53 The sea sails by the helmsman

The section of the river on the map was not far from where we were stationed, and even I, a blind roadman, could easily recognize the location at a glance on the map. It is precisely because of this that for the first time since I went abroad, I led the way in front of the team with high spirits. But what I didn't expect was that I almost made a joke......

"One-two-one, one-two-one......"

I shouted the password while leading the soldiers along the river, and the cold deputy company commander asked suspiciously: "Company commander, where are we here?" The target position is past ......"

"Hmm! Oh...... "I couldn't help but be embarrassed, I ran so fast at this time, I didn't notice that I had run too far." But fortunately, I was in a hurry, and I replied with a frown: "Didn't the regiment commander let us surround and guard?" I want to familiarize the fighters with their surroundings! ”

Then he looked around thoughtfully, nodded pretentiously and said, "Well, it's almost!" The first platoon and the third platoon went to the opposite side of the river to be on alert, and the second platoon took the target position as the center of the circle, and the radius of 200 meters was fan-shaped to search outward, and control the commanding heights to guard outward! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered, and then immediately took out the mine detectors, searched the ground in groups of three and five.

Platoons and three of the fighters crossed the river by a small bridge made of three-legged forks. There are many such bridges in Vietnam, they are all simple bridges built by the Vietnamese to cross the river, and its structure is very simple, the piers are three tripods tied to logs, and then covered with planks that can only be passed by one person...... And so a small bridge was built.

Such a small bridge seems to be very practical. Vietnam is divided into two seasons of dry and rainy seasons, the river is very shallow during the dry season, but the river is very fast during the rainy season, and the wooden bridges that have been built with great effort in the dry season are often washed away in the rainy season. And a simple wooden bridge like this is washed away, and it is a big deal to build another one......

Such single-plank bridges are not uncommon in our country, and most of the soldiers come from the countryside, and they have not often crossed such bridges, so in the blink of an eye, the first and third rows of soldiers crossed the bridge very smoothly and launched a search across the river.

The reason why the soldiers of the two platoons were arranged on the other side of the river was because the opposite bank was far away from the garrison of our army, and the possibility of being attacked by Vietnamese agents was greater, and it was also difficult for our troops to reinforce them, after all, they had to cross a river......

Don't look at it as just a small river more than forty meters wide, but those who have fought know that the river is definitely an insurmountable barrier on the battlefield. First, there are no weeds, trees or protruding mounds on the surface of the river to shelter or cover; The second is that the warriors cannot lie down and 'shoot' when crossing the river, and the third is that the river and the slippery stones at the bottom of the river can slow down the speed of the warriors crossing the river to a great extent......

Therefore, as long as a few enemies set up a few 'strong' machine guns on the other side of the river, it would be an absolute disaster for the troops crossing the river. The best way to prevent such a catastrophe from happening is to place most of the troops across the river.

After a few days of clearing operations, the soldiers were also familiar with such work as mine detection and mine clearance, and after a while, we searched the target position in a 200-meter radius in detail, and found no problems.

After the search, the fighters formed an encirclement two hundred meters from the target river section according to my orders, and did not let anyone enter according to the orders of their superiors!

"All of them!" I reiterated Commander Zhao's order on the walkie-talkie: "No one is allowed to look behind them, and they are not allowed to enter the encirclement!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered, but there was some doubt in their voices.

In fact, it's not just the soldiers who are suspicious, I'm also strange! Just now, when the soldiers were searching for mines, I went to that section of the river to observe, but there was nothing but thatch and reeds growing on both sides of the river to cover the surface of the river. I don't understand why Regiment Leader Zhao let us make such a big move, both searching and guarding. And looking at the expressions of Commander Zhao and Political Commissar Huang, it seems that they are still nervous......

But an order is an order after all, if I were a small soldier, I would not be able to hang my son for a while, but as a company commander...... If I don't obey the order again, the whole company will be 'chaotic', so I have to carry it out meticulously.

"Report to the regimental commander......" Seeing that the soldiers were all arranged, I said to the correspondent beside me: "Everything is ready!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent answered and reported the situation we had prepared to the regiment headquarters. Then I heard a new order from Commander Zhao: "Ten minutes later, a jeep with the license plate number '戍P-34091' will come over and be allowed to go!" ”

"Yes!" I answered, and a big question mark arose in my mind.

What is this going to do with a jeep? Could it be that there are some military secrets in that creek? Or is there a missile head left by the devil or something, let the experts come to secretly reconnoitre?

Impossible! If so, is a jeep enough?

"Company commander! What are we doing here? The hometown people on the other side of the river couldn't help but ask on the walkie-talkie: "Even if it's a mission, we should know what the mission is!" Knowing that we have a little bottom in our hearts, let's be prepared! ”

"That's it!" Yang Songjian also agreed: "Such a mysterious thing makes me feel a little weak in my heart!" Is it that Vietnamese agents are coming to attack? Or is the Vietnamese army going to come and attack......"

"Don't guess, I don't know!" I replied, "The superior gave me a license plate number, so be careful when this car comes over, don't shoot randomly!" ”

"Hmm, what is the license plate number, let's hear it!" The hometown asked.

"P-34 ......"

Depend on! Thinking only about this bullshit mission, I even forgot the license plate number, so I hurriedly turned my eyes to the communication soldier beside me.

The communications soldier smiled bitterly and replied in a whisper: "P-34091"

"That's right! 戍P-34091! ”

"Field Hospital!" The voice of the hometown people who came from the walkie-talkie was suspicious: "What are they doing here?" We don't have any important wounded, huh? ”

"Yo! How do you know it's a field hospital? Yang Songjian asked rhetorically, in fact, this question is also what I want to know.

"License plates!" There was some complacent in the tone of the people in my hometown: "'Shu' represents the Guangzhou Military Region, 'P' represents the field hospital, and the number behind it represents the serial number of the military region...... I don't understand this! ”

I can't help but be impressed when I hear this, this hometown is worthy of having spent a few years in the army, and I have a little knowledge!

"***!" Then the hometown people scolded a little unconvinced: "The jeep of a field hospital is like this, and the cars we used to sit in started with 'B'......"

"'B' at the beginning? What level is that? I asked.

"Well, nothing!" The people in my hometown knew that they had missed their mouths, so they answered casually and didn't speak again.

Later, after staying in the army for a long time, I learned that the ones starting with 'B' are all at the level of the group army, and if this is the 'A' generation, it is the PLA headquarters.

There was a "rumbling ......", and then a motor sound came from far and near, and a jeep soon appeared in our sight. I raised my sniper rifle and looked at the license plate, which was the "P-34091" that Commander Zhao had 'handed over'.

"All of them!" I 'handed over' over the intercom: "Let this car enter the encirclement." Repeat, put this car into the encirclement! Take care of your guns and watch out for misfire! ”

The last sentence is a habit for the soldiers, and everyone who has fought will be accustomed to aiming the muzzle and crosshair at the target with a 'sexual' gun, which is once misfired......

"Yes!" The warriors answered, suddenly came to their senses, and removed their guns.

The jeep got closer and closer with a butt of dust, and after a while it drove in front of us, and then stopped with a "squeak".

I ran up with my sniper rifle in my arms, checked the license plate number carefully, and then waved his hand to let him pass. At this time, I casually glanced into the car, and vaguely found two 'female' soldiers sitting in the back seat of the car. They also seemed to be looking at me curiously through the car window. I couldn't see it very clearly because the windows were covered with dust......

There was a "boom", and before I could take a quick look, the jeep kicked up a cloud of dust and headed straight for the river.

Then, after a while, the jeep came to a sideways stop in the grass, and the height of the jeep was just enough to block all the movements of the two 'female' soldiers. All I knew was that they were walking towards the river, and then a driver with a pistol and a guard in the passenger seat slammed the car door and walked towards us.

"Hello comrade! Thank you very much! "The driver was very knowledgeable and handed a few cigarettes to a few soldiers around us.

lit the fire, and Junko couldn't help but ask, "Comrade, what are you doing?" Is there a ghost spy in this river? ”

The driver and the guard smiled, but did not answer, but walked to the side and rested against the tree.

Just when we were 'confused', the sound of splashing water and the laughter of the two 'female' soldiers suddenly came from the direction of the river...... So I quickly understood. Everything we're doing here is for those two 'female' soldiers to take a bath!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a nameless anger in my heart, and as soon as I threw the cigarette to the ground, I scolded hatefully: "it! What is the identity of these two girls, it is not enough for us to die on the battlefield, but also let us 'wait' for them to take a bath here......"

"Company commander!" The voice of the hometown came over the walkie-talkie: "Don't think about that, we're on a mission!" ”

"Yes! The company commander ......" The deputy company commander came up and said, "The little girls are taking a bath in the river with their stripes stripped, we can't call them up now!" Besides...... Who is this going to call for? ”

"That's it, company commander!" Al Ziri also persuaded: "The little girl must have not taken a bath for a while, we big men can stand it, this little girl is born to love cleanliness, isn't it?" What's more, they are also soldiers in the field hospital and have treated many of our comrades-in-arms. It's understandable to come and take a shower! ”

Listening to the persuasion of the soldiers, I had nothing to say, so I glared fiercely at the two drivers and guards who were enjoying the shade under the big tree, and sat down angrily.

And the driver and the guards just smiled, not taking our anger seriously. But then again, this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with drivers and guards!

"Company commander!" Seeing that I was no longer angry, the hometown people continued on the walkie-talkie: "There are some things you don't understand, don't look at those two girls, they are just 'female' soldiers in the field hospital, what kind of soldiers are 'female' soldiers?" Those are all high-level cadres 'women', if something goes wrong, I'm afraid none of us will be able to eat and walk around! Didn't you have a unit the other day? The Vietnam War hospital was attacked by Vietnamese army agents, and several 'female' soldiers were sacrificed, and as a result, the division commanders of that unit were withdrawn! ”

I snorted coldly, and secretly said that the relationship in this era is really important, and people with a little background are different. But this is not the case in our modern society.

At this time, Junko was still probing his brain into the grass by the river, and muttered in a low voice: "it!" Why can't you see anything? ”

I was having a fire in my stomach nowhere, looking at the bird-like appearance of Junko, I couldn't help but get angry and yelled at him: "What do you see? If there is any mistake in this, you will go home and farm for me! ”

"Yes!" Junko answered, and didn't dare to make any more moves.

As the minutes passed, the sky gradually darkened, but the two 'female' soldiers still seemed to be unsatisfied, and they had no intention of going back at all. Still screaming and making noise in the river. My heart slowly hung in the air.

"Comrade!" I raised my head at the driver and said, "It's time for your soldiers to go back, it's dark when the Vietnamese agents come out to do something, and you don't want anything to happen!" ”

Part of the reason why I'm worried is that I know that these two 'female' soldiers are not just 'female' soldiers. Just like the people in their hometown say, they must be the children of high-ranking cadres.

This may not have been necessary during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, because there were still many 'female' soldiers who directly participated in the battle at that time. However, by now, 'female' soldiers have gradually withdrawn from the ranks of combat units, and the targets of conscription generally do not choose 'female' and 'sexual'. Unless, of course, there are those who have a relationship with a back door. They are always in a relatively safe place when they go to war, and they are still protected objects.

These things are no longer a secret, even the people in my hometown know about them, so I think they can't hide them from the eyes of the Vietnamese army agents. If that's the case, then they're definitely worth it. If we capture them, we can threaten the high-ranking cadres of our army, and no matter how bad they are, killing them will affect the command system of our troops. Didn't the people in my hometown just say that because the field hospital was attacked and several 'female' soldiers were sacrificed, the division commanders were all withdrawn?

The driver and the guard glanced at each other, spread their hands helplessly, and said, "Comrade, they are not something we can order. Besides, they're taking a shower, and you're going to call us? If they go back and sue us...... Hey! ”

"Comrade!" The guards also laughed and said, "That's why I want you to protect their safety, right?" Be considerate, no matter how dark it gets, they won't be able to see and be afraid, and they will want to go back! ”

Hearing this, I nodded helplessly, and returned to my position with my sniper rifle again.

The sun gradually set in the western mountains, and only half of the red fireball remained, unwilling to leave the last bit of afterglow in this world. A group of PLA soldiers who had returned to the camp from the clearing were singing and walking back in the afterglow of the setting sun. As they got closer, I could hear their singing more and more......

"The sea sails by the helmsman, all things grow, the sun and rain 'dew' moisten the seedlings, and the revolution depends on the best ideological ......"

Creeks, fields, barracks, sunsets...... It's a picture of a soldier returning from a target shoot, and if it weren't for the smell of blood and corpses in the air reminding me that this is a battlefield, I would have regarded this place as a training ground.

"Huh!" At this time, the deputy company commander beside me couldn't help but prick up his ears, looked at the group of PLA soldiers who were singing and approaching us in a daze, and whispered: "That's not right! ”

"What's wrong?" I asked. glanced at the PLA, because the sky was getting dark, so I couldn't see it very clearly, and listening to the singing voice was also in Chinese words, there seemed to be no problem.

"No, no, no!" The deputy company commander said vigilantly: "Company commander, listen...... The song they sang was "The Sea Sails by the Helmsman", what is this song "The Sea Sails by the Helmsman"? It's a *** quote song, and we're not allowed to sing it for a long time! Who would dare to sing like them......"

"Oh!" I quickly understood. The PLA troops in front of me are dressed as Vietnamese army agents, and they are really fucking pretending to be like them, and they can even sing Chinese songs! And he sang as authentically as we did, and almost deceived them.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that they didn't choose any songs, so they chose a song that they couldn't sing! The feeling is that they don't know that this song has been banned in our country!

"All of them!" Thinking of this, I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All units are ready for battle, and the more devil agents have come to the 'door'!" Don't make too many moves, wait for them to get closer and listen to my orders! ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, and one by one they quietly prepared their weapons. In order to prevent the Vietnamese soldiers from finding out that something was wrong, I didn't even notify the driver and the guards who were resting under the tree.

The group of "PLA soldiers" got closer and closer, and then I couldn't help but admire them in my heart. It was a group of forty or so men, and the march route looked like it was passing near us, but in fact it was constantly approaching our lines. They are all calm and calm, and their singing voices are very natural. I have been behind enemy lines many times, and I know that these things seem simple, but it is really not easy to do them under the guns of the enemy.

It's a pity that they are destined to be unable to benefit from us this time
