0342 Early hours of February 17, 1979
Jiang Limin looked at the anxious seventh squad leader, then shook the submachine gun in his hand and said, "Old squad leader, calm down, don't worry!" After the deputy instructor led the brothers of the 2nd platoon to destroy Lang Wei's enemy and surround the nameless heights from the east, we could launch an attack. If we fight early, the enemy is likely to take advantage of the darkness to escape, and then we will not achieve the goal of total annihilation. ”
"Okay, I'll do the work of the comrades." The seventh squad leader is a veteran, and after the platoon commander said this, he understood.
The priority was to stabilize the mood of the fighters.
The gunfire in both directions of the 1st and 2nd platoons became more and more intense, and the flamethrower spat out a fire dragon that reflected half of the night sky.
Suddenly, the gunfire in the direction of the 2nd platoon stopped, and there was no movement for a long time.
Jiang Limin lay on a large rock, staring intently at the north side of the nameless heights, as if he was searching for something through the night.
Suddenly, he clearly saw a red flashlight flashing three times in a row: the deputy instructor led the second platoon to call, and now surrounded the nameless high ground from the northeast side.
The red flashlight is two long and one short, which is the signal they agreed on in advance.
"Liaison, hurry back to the signal!"
Jiang Limin, who was on the battlefield for the first time, was very excited and excited, and the time had finally come for him to make meritorious contributions, and he immediately ordered all squads to quickly enter the battle according to the original battle plan.
"Father, I will be your pride." Jiang Limin said silently.
Jiang Limin, who was born in a military family, longs for his father's approval, even if it is a word of praise.
But if you want to get recognition from veterans who have experienced the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and even the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, where is it so easy.
The second generation of red, who regards honor as their life, has red genes flowing in their bodies, in order to fight like their fathers, win glory for their fathers, are not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, and rush to the forefront at times of danger......
The Nameless Heights is the highest hill among the Vietnamese army's forward fortified positions.
Two squads of the Vietnamese army were stationed here and built two ring fortifications, shelters and several hidden fire points, in an attempt to use this hill as a support point to form an impassable barrier and control the main road leading from the hill to the county seat of Thong Nong in Cao Bang Province.
Jiang Limin led 3 platoons to charge on the nameless heights, and after a fierce battle, the enemy retreated along the trenches and communication ditches into dark fire points and shelters.
At this time, the deputy instructor also led the fighters of the 2nd platoon to rush up from the east side of the nameless heights.
Jiang Limin reported the situation to the deputy instructor: "The Vietnamese troops on the nameless heights stubbornly resisted with five or six hidden bunker fire points, and the machine gun fire was very fierce, and the attack did not go smoothly, and the commander of the battalion heavy machine gun platoon of the reinforced 7th company was killed, and several other soldiers were wounded. ”
"On the demolition group, each platoon adopts the tactics of attacking point by point and section by section to advance upward, covering the fighters of the demolition group to blow up the enemy's dark fire point."
After a quick exchange of views, the two cadres finally decided to blow up the enemy's hidden firepower point first.
"I'll go!"
Although it was the first time to participate in actual combat, Jiang Limin was not afraid at all.
He is a cadre, and cadres should play a leading and exemplary role.
Jiang Limin volunteered, he took off the four grenades in the grenade bag, crawled to the enemy's first hidden fire point, took advantage of the interval between the enemy's firing, pulled the fuse, and stuffed the green smoke grenade through the shooting hole.
I only heard a loud "boom", the roof of the fire point collapsed, and the mound of earth was gone.
"Well done!"
The deputy instructor was very happy to see that Jiang Limin had succeeded, and hurriedly ordered the blasting team to follow up.
Immediately afterwards, the demolition team pounced on the second point of fire.
Under the cover of light and heavy machine-gun fire, the first Demoman was wounded after only a few steps forward.
The second Demoman was also shot a few meters from enemy fire and fell.
The third demoman just wanted to get up, but Jiang Limin held him down coldly, grabbed the explosive bag, and jumped out of the trench.
In the cross-fire of the enemy and us, Jiang Limin's figure flickered.
I saw that he took advantage of the dead angle of the enemy's shooting, moved forward quickly and alertly, and soon approached the enemy's dark firepower point.
These skills are not entirely learned in the army.
In the days when they were in the army compound, during those days when they didn't have to go to school, Jiang Limin and his friends had been playing this kind of war game.
Carrying out explosives packs to blast enemy fire points is also one of their most common activities.
Da Da
Suddenly, the enemy's machine-gun bullets fired at Jiang Limin like crazy, stirring up a cloud of dust in front of him, left and right.
In the light of the shooting, I saw Jiang Limin lying there motionless, looking as if he had been shot.
After all, war is not a game.
The deputy instructor, who had been nervously following Jiang Limin, shouted anxiously: "Limin! ”
Without waiting for the deputy instructor's words to land, I saw Jiang Limin stand up with a carp, run a few steps, run in front of the fire point, and firmly lean the explosive bag next to the fire point perforation.
I saw him pull the fire pipe with his hand, and quickly rolled to the left, and with a loud "boom", the second dark fire point became mute again.
Originally, Jiang Limin wanted to continue to carry out the blasting, but the grenades around him had already run out, so he asked the two fighters to stay in place to monitor the enemy, and he ran back to the command position along the traffic trench.
Jiang Limin wiped his face and asked the deputy instructor, "What time is it?"
The assistant instructor looked at his watch and replied, "It's already 3:25." ”
"There is not much time left for us, we must immediately organize our firepower, and in any case destroy the enemy before five o'clock in the morning, and ensure the penetration of the main forces." Jiang Limin said.
"Good ......"
The assistant instructor had barely finished his sentence when a long line of bullets from another enemy point of fire hit the trench slope, splashing them with dust.
Fortunately, Jiang Limin's eyes were quick and he reacted quickly, and he pushed the deputy instructor away, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Looking at the enemy's dark firepower point that was shooting wildly, the deputy instructor clenched his fists and said to Jiang Limin: "You stay here, this time I will go up and kill it!"
As he spoke, the deputy instructor quickly removed the grenade on his body and unscrewed the grenade cap.
The deputy instructor is not only a political cadre, but also a critical time.
Just as the deputy instructor was about to rush up, Jiang Limin grabbed him and said, "I'll go this time, because I'm more familiar with the terrain than you." ”
"Nope! You stay! You've already done it once, and this time I'll come! The deputy instructor said categorically.
This was the revolutionary friendship of those days. "Both platoons are commanded by you, you can't go up." Jiang Limin took a step closer, suddenly snatched the grenade from the deputy instructor, and then flew out of the trench.
The deputy instructor hurriedly picked up the light machine gun and suppressed the enemy's dark firepower with heavy firepower.
Dada, dada, dada......
