Although the regiment had already planned for the upcoming attack of the Vietnamese army, the enemy's almost desperate and ferocious attack was still somewhat unexpected by Wushan, especially the onslaught of the Vietnamese army on the 54# position.

Judging from the current situation that can be collected, the 54# heights have suffered several times more fierce artillery bombardment from midnight yesterday to this morning, although our artillery has also given a return fire, but because until now it has not figured out where the opponent's artillery position is, it is impossible to effectively suppress the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army, so the substantial support that can be given to the 54# heights is really minimal, and several groups of reconnaissance teams sent out have nothing to gain, and now the top priority in front of them is to find the enemy's artillery as soon as possible. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the pressure on the forward positions.

"Is there any news from the reconnaissance teams discharged by the various departments?" Wu Shan asked.

"I just got the news that most of the reconnaissance groups discharged have not been able to cross the blockade line of the Vietnamese army, and almost all of them have exchanged fire with the Vietnamese army, and there have been casualties, and now there are two reconnaissance teams without specific news, and the last position reported by one of the squads should have crossed the blockade line, and the other team has not heard from the other team since it reported its position two hours ago, and the specific location is unknown."

"What's going on there in the third battalion?"

The third battalion is the unit stationed on the 54# highland, and it is also what Wushan is most concerned about.

"The latest report shows that the first attack of the Vietnamese army was defeated, and the battle lasted for more than two hours, and the fighting was very hard, and the specific casualties have not yet been reported."

"Tell Xu Zhijun that no matter what the price is, the 54# highland must be defended for me, otherwise I will ask him!" Wu Shan commanded with a cold expression.

"Yes!" The staff officer said yes and turned to leave.

If the years of training at the 'Wolf's Den' base were hard and even cruel, at least Liang Qing still felt fulfilled and could bear it, and she won the trust of her teammates and instructors with her own efforts.

But when he came to the front line, Liang Qing felt lost and inadvertently despised all the time.

She tried her best to adjust her mentality, after all, this is a real battlefield, since ancient times, the battlefield has been a place for men to show off their strength and win honors, and women are at best just some embellishments in this cruel game, here Liang Qing really feels what it means to be lost.

As the first batch of Zhang Quanle, Zhai Mingyi, and Shen Dapeng to rush to the battlefield, needless to say, Gao Jian, Ba Gen, and several of them have also entered the reserve, and they will be pulled up at any time, but she is simply ignored, for which she found the battalion commander and instructor several times, and insisted on going to the front line like other team members.

Liang Qing's requests were perfunctory with various excuses with a smile from the battalion commander and instructor, the most high-sounding reason is that this is the front line, and the battalion headquarters also needs people, every time at this time, she hates herself for why she gave birth to a daughter, she envies Zhang Quanle's heartfelt excitement when she learned that she was going to be the first to go up, she was not angry that he was happily showing off in front of her, but was happy for them, but with the start of the battle, her joy was quickly washed away by worry and anxiety.

As the wounded were sent down one by one, she was almost the first to rush forward every time, doing everything she could to help and care for these wounded soldiers, and at this time she even had some fear in her heart, she was afraid that she would see her familiar faces in these wounded.

At this moment, she knew that war had brought them very close to death.

The fierce gunfire that lasted for half a night gradually thinned out, and the smoke of gunfire on the mountain gradually dissipated, and some of the more seriously wounded soldiers were sent to the rear hospital after simple treatment, and the less serious injuries were simply treated by the hygienists on the spot.

Not far away, the bodies of five or six soldiers were covered with white sheets and placed there quietly, Liang Qing stood under a temporary tent in a daze, not bothering to wash the blood off his body and hands, just staring at the mountain top in the distance in a daze.

A hand patted her shoulder, and Liang Qing turned her head to see that it was Zhao Lei, the platoon commander who had dealt with the regiment headquarters not long ago.

"I just looked at the back and looked familiar, sure enough, it's you, and you're here?"

Zhao Lei and Liang Qing greeted each other.

"Platoon Commander Zhao, you're also here."

This is the first acquaintance Liang Qing has met since coming here, and he is naturally happy in his heart.

"I also just arrived in the past two days, and it was only officially reported yesterday, and I saw a lot of wounded people coming down along the way, so it seems that the fight is very hard."

Zhao Lei seemed to be asking, and it was like talking to himself.

"It should be, listening to the veterans here, there has never been such a long period of artillery coverage as this before, and from here it looks like the top is red."

When Liang Qing said this, he was really glad for Zhai Mingyi and the three of them, and he really didn't know how they escaped such dense artillery fire.

"Yes, this time the other party's attack is very fierce, it seems that we have to take the 54# highland, I'm afraid we will go up in a while."

Zhao Lei took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand.

Liang Qing had an idea, walked in front of Zhao Lei, and said sincerely: "Platoon Commander Zhao, can you please help with one thing?" ”

"You kid, what do you say 'begging', once born and twice matured, we are also old acquaintances, if there is anything, I can do it without a problem."

"You can do it, we'll do it."

Liang Qing said with a bluff.

"What's the matter, you can tell me."

"If you can go up this time, can you take me with you?" Liang Qing said expectantly.

"You go up? Are you kidding me! Is that where you go? ”

Zhao Lei almost didn't even think about it and rejected it, he even felt incredible that Liang Qing had this kind of thought.

"Why can't I go up? I had the same training and the same tasks as them, so why couldn't I go up. ”

Liang Qing didn't understand why there was so much patriarchy here.

"It's not a place for you women, it's amazing that you can get here, where do you want to go?"

Zhao Lei said this from the heart, he really rarely saw a young girl who had the courage to be so close to the front line and still be calm.

Perhaps thinking that his tone was too heavy, he turned to comfort:

"Xiao Liang, don't worry, sooner or later you will have a place to use, didn't you see that the hygienists who went up here were all men? Everyone on the battlefield must make full use of it, including the medical soldiers who treat the wounded, the male medical soldiers can carry a soldier down alone, but women can't, it's not patriarchal, it's the law of employment decided by the battlefield, I know your ability, there will be more important places in the future that need you people, don't worry. ”

After Zhao Lei finished speaking, someone shouted to him not far away, he comforted Liang Qing again, turned around and left, leaving Liang Qing standing in place.

A few nights of sleepless made Xu Zhijun's eyes red, and the several highlands they were responsible for defending had 303 and 317 highlands missing, and if the 54# highlands could not be defended today, they would wait for the military court.

The news from above made his mood even heavier, although Chen Xiaotian swore that there was no problem and the fighting spirit of the soldiers was high, but Xu Zhijun could sense how tragic the battle was from the night of shelling and the casualties carried down.

Chen Xiaotian has never taken the initiative to make difficulties and demands, but he Xu Zhijun cannot let it go, and the support team for transporting supplies and ammunition has already gone up in advance, and the troops that are in rotation have also been assembled and ready to go.

It's just that before the rotating team went up, the second round of attacks of the Vietnamese army came, and this round of artillery fire was not aimed at the hilltop position, but to cover our depth with dense firepower, and the purpose of the Vietnamese army was very clear, that is, to attack our supply line, cut off the supply line and trap the soldiers on the top there.
