Chapter 232: East-West Strike

"Going down the mountain and catching him alive?!" Company Commander Zhao Yifa, after listening to this other method that Sun Lei came up with, immediately inquired in an incredible tone.

In the opinion of the company commander Zhao Yifa at this time, the method that Sun Lei came up with was indeed a bit too risky, you must know that the American soldiers hiding about fifty meters north of the hillside, and the dozens of small hills or hills behind the dozens of small hills or hills were at least nearly 200 people.

And the combined strength of their three companies of sharp knives is less than 200 people, if at this time, according to the method that Sun Lei came up with, go down the mountain to capture the American soldiers alive, once a close battle is carried out, these guns are estimated to play a small role, and both sides are evenly matched in terms of combat effectiveness.

Even if the company commander Zhao Yifa, who was very rich in battles, immediately thought that he was afraid that he was not sure of victory, and he might sacrifice the precious lives of many soldiers in vain, so the idea that Sun Lei came up with to go down the mountain to capture the remnants of the US army alive was a little too unrealistic, so he asked Sun Lei in an incredible tone.

Faced with the company commander Zhao Yifa's questioning in a somewhat funny tone, Sun Lei showed a very serious look and replied categorically: "Yes, company commander, I think there is the best way at the moment, except to let our soldiers go down to the bottom of the hill to capture these American soldiers alive, I'm afraid there is no better way than this." ”

After listening to Sun Lei's answer, company commander Zhao Yifa immediately said all his worries just now, in order to prove that the method he thought of needed to take a lot of risks and was very undesirable.

Knowing that the company commander Zhao Yifa's assessment of this risk was too great, Sun Lei immediately patted his chest and swore and promised: "Company commander, I don't need our comrades in the whole company to go out, I just take our comrades in a platoon."

"I am here to assure you that as long as you approve me to take our comrades in a platoon down the mountain to capture alive the American soldiers hiding behind dozens of hills or hills, they will definitely not cause too many casualties and they can be disarmed and surrendered."

Although it is said that since Sun Lei entered the three companies of the sharp knife, he has not failed every time he makes a strategy, but this time, the company commander Zhao Yifa is a little worried in his heart, after all, he thinks that the risk he took is indeed a bit big.

At first, the company commander Zhao Yifa thought that Sun Lei would ask all the soldiers of the third company of their sharp knife company to be dispatched, but now I heard Sun Lei say that there is no need for the soldiers of their whole company to be dispatched, only he needs to take their platoon of soldiers to carry out the task of going down the mountain to capture the American soldiers alive.

When Sun Lei finished speaking, while the company commander Zhao Yifa breathed a sigh of relief, he seriously thought to himself in his heart, feeling that Sun Lei had never missed before, since he only let the soldiers in a platoon carry out the task of going down the mountain to capture the American soldiers alive.

In case there are casualties, it will not affect their entire company, on the battlefield, although the company commander Zhao Yifa is brave in battle, he still has to do a risk assessment first, and the front line must be reduced to a minimum.

After some careful consideration, the company commander Zhao Yifa felt that since there was no other better way at the moment, he had no choice but to agree to Sun Lei's request, and let him take the soldiers of the first platoon down the mountain to capture the American soldiers alive, and let the soldiers of the second and third platoons stay in place and continue to stay in the trenches.

After getting the consent of the company commander Zhao Yifa, Sun Lei actually did not take all the soldiers in the platoon down the mountain, and the twenty soldiers who operated the ten mortars before continued to stay.

However, before going down the mountain, Sun Lei told the 20 soldiers in a platoon of soldiers operating 10 mortars, telling them to wait and see the US soldiers hiding in dozens of small hills or hills about 50 meters north of the hillside, once they continue to retreat to the north and enter the range of mortar shelling, they must firmly and decisively immediately open fire until there are no more US soldiers fleeing north.

The twenty soldiers of the platoon who stayed on the mountain to continue to operate the ten mortars, after listening to the order of the platoon commander Sun Lei, they did not dare to be the slightest slack, and immediately nodded in agreement, and told Sun Lei to be careful and pay attention to safety after going down the hill.

After bidding farewell to the 20 soldiers in the platoon who stayed on the mountain to continue operating the 10 mortars, Sun Lei went to the air-raid shelter in their platoon, called the remaining 35 soldiers one by one, and went down the mountain together to carry out the task of capturing the US soldiers alive.

Of course, Sun Lei could not directly take the thirty-five soldiers in a platoon and go down the mountain directly, in that case, he would definitely be attacked by the American soldiers hiding behind the hills or hills.

Therefore, before going down the mountain, Sun Lei first gathered the thirty-five soldiers in a platoon called out of the air-raid shelter together and distributed personnel, and they could not rush down the hill directly this time.

Instead, there were two ways down the mountain, with an average of 18 troops on each road, divided into one road on the left side of the hill and one road on the right side of the hillside.

After the personnel arrangement and division of labor, Sun Lei took seventeen soldiers in a platoon to go down from the right side of the hillside, while the other eighteen soldiers in a platoon went down from the left side of the hillside.

The direction on the left side of the hillside is west, and the direction on the right side of the hillside is east, so the method that Sun Lei came up with can also be called an east-west pinch.

Soon, in less than five minutes, the eighteen soldiers in a platoon led by Sun Lei had already arrived at a place more than 200 meters east of the dozens of hills or hills where the US soldiers were hiding.

At the same time, the 18 soldiers in a platoon who went down from the left side of the hillside had also come to the dozens of small hills or hills where the US soldiers were hiding, more than 200 meters to the west.

After Zhao Yifa, the company commander who was in the trenches on the hillside and commanding the battle, gave the order to Liu Yiming, the commander of the second platoon, and Feng Pengju, the commander of the third platoon, to stand by in place, and the battle stopped after just 10 minutes of fighting, making them feel very depressed.

What made the two of them even more depressed was that the platoon that had assisted them in attacking, at this time, the platoon leader Sun Lei led a lot of platoon soldiers to descend the mountain from the left and right sides of the hillside, clearly to go down the mountain to fight with the group of American soldiers who were hiding, while their second and third platoons had to stay in the trenches.
