Chapter 16 The 722nd Regiment is disabled
Liu Guodong also planted explosive devices both inside and outside the regiment headquarters duty room. Zhuang Yushu and Lin Zhumin knotted the rope together, lowered it from the window, and hung it down to the distribution box below. "When you reach the ground, you have to move quickly to the left corner, and you have to move fast!" Li Haichao's calm command voice came from the headset.
Yu Songyuan waved his hand, and Lin Zhumin put on his gloves and slid down the rope. The man stood on the distribution box, holding the "gripper" (a special tool when gliding on the wire) in his hand, and slid down with a "sting" sound. At this moment, in the direction of the Khmer Company's blocking position on the hill on the right side of the fortress, there was a loud "boom", and a dense burst of gunfire followed.
"Detonate early!" Someone had already stepped on a mine on the mountain road, and Li Haichao quickly commanded in the headset.
Liu Guodong looked at Yu Songyuan, Yu Songyuan waved his hand, let Zhuang Yushu slide down, and ordered Liu Guodong, "Explosion!" Liu Guodong pressed his hand, and the Mingla fortress was quickly overwhelmed by the "boom, boom" explosion. The fortress trembled slightly, and there was a howl and cry outside the headquarters.
At this time, the battle had already begun on the blocking position of the Khmer company.
In the corner forts of Minh Ratchasima Fortress, more than a dozen machine guns fired at the blocking positions at the same time, and on the dark and rainy night, the crossfire was woven into a dense red fire net, and bullets were splashed on the positions like water. The enemy was condescending, and at the moment of the enemy's rapid attack on the front of the Khmer company's position, several fighters were killed and wounded. At the critical moment, Bai Li was not afraid of danger, organized four machine guns to suppress fire, and snatched back the casualties from the guns.
Fortunately, it was a rainy night, and the enemy was shooting blindly. Bai Li withdrew the first and second platoons to the side of the creek, using the north mountain stream as a cover. Two mortars, and four machine guns, firmly blocked the passage down the mountain. There were constantly soldiers who tried to rush down Taorak and were blown up or killed. However, the combat style of the 722nd Regiment was too fierce, and the explosions in the Minh Ratchasima fortress were still heard one after another, and the attacks on Tao Ratchasima were wave after wave, like a tide......
In the headquarters of the 722nd Regiment, only Liu Guodong and Yu Songyuan were left. There was already someone knocking on the door of the duty room of the headquarters, Yu Songyuan made a gesture, and Liu Guodong had to slide down first. Gunshots rang out in the hallway, and bullets struck the furniture and walls of the room like locusts. After Yu Songyuan quickly planted several explosive devices, he jumped onto the windowsill with the sound of the enemy slamming the door between enemy shots, grabbed the rope and slid down.
As soon as the person arrived at the distribution box, he sharply ordered Liu Guodong to "detonate the headquarters!" ”
Liu Guodong had already reached the ground, and when he saw that Yu Songyuan was still in mid-air, he gritted his teeth and pressed the button. There was a loud "boom", and flames rose from the window again. The wire was blown up, and with a "boom", it bounced into the distance. The cliff is two or three hundred meters, Lin Tao, Zhang Wuchang and others left the cliff regardless of the danger, and threw themselves under the wires, wanting to catch Yu Songyuan with their hands.
"Hide all and move to the left to guard against grenades!" Yu Songyuan's cold voice came again. The team members had to stick to the cliff and move to the left as ordered, and their hearts were hanging in the air. Soon, Yu Songyuan stepped on the stone like a spider, and climbed down against the stone wall.
It turned out that he didn't quite slide down the wire. At the same time as he gave the order to "detonate the command", he had already slipped to the edge of the cliff, so he clasped the stone ridge tightly with both hands, and then firmly attached to the cliff wall like a spider.
"Get out of the cliff quickly!" Li Haichao gave an order, and the team members quickly clinged to the cliff wall and quickly got out of danger. As soon as they left, more than a dozen grenades exploded at the bottom of the cliff at the same time, and several submachine guns fired wildly at the bottom of the cliff......
At this time, in the direction of Yao Lak, there was another rumbling cannon sound, which was the second platoon of the Khmer Company.
"One or two platoons, along the Beishan Stream, all retreat!" Entering the safety zone, Li Haichao gave the order. The team did not stop, and quickly moved towards the Yao Lat stronghold.
"Yes!" When Bai Li heard the order, he quickly commanded the first and second platoons, took all the wounded and the remains of the three sacrificed comrades, and quickly retreated to the Pag base along the Beishan Stream.
……
With the second platoon of Sanyakan, Heienburg came to the foot of the Yao Lat stronghold, first planted a large number of mines on the downhill passage, and then climbed to the opposite hill. "Aren't you going to attack Yao Lak?" Heinberg asked breathlessly.
Sanya Kan commanded the troops to climb the mountain, and then set up four mortars next to a large rock on the mountain, and then said with a smile, "Feint!" ”
"What is a feint?"
"It's to frighten and frighten these widows...... Grandma's ...... "Sanya Kan looked at his watch and came five minutes early. The mountain here is not too high, only a few hundred meters. But the jungle was dense, and after the shelling, the other side just wanted to encircle and chase and intercept it, the sky and the earth were dark, and the heavy rain was pouring down, and it was very easy for them to get out.
Suddenly, the explosion of a mine sounded in the direction of Minh Lakhani. The sound was dull on a rainy night, and then the sound of gunfire rang out like fried beans. Immediately after that, there was another big explosion in Minton. From a distance, the Myonthani fortress was blown into a large fireball, and the flames rose into the sky......
Sanya Kan looked at his watch, there were still five minutes before 10:30, his small eyes rolled, and he waved his big hand, "Hit!" The four mortar shells flew towards the stronghold on the opposite hill with a whistling sound, and the Yaolai stronghold on the opposite cliff first took off a few red flames, and then there was an explosion of "boom" and "boom". Won the lottery and hit the starter. The Khmer company was well trained, and the shelling from the rear was also accurate.
"Shoot all the shells!" Sanya Kan leaned against the rock and lit a cigarette. Heinburg hid behind the rocks in fright, holding his head in his hands. Although Heienberg was a German, he was a cook, and if it weren't for Loya's threat of "if you don't obey, you won't be allowed to sleep with my daughter", with his courage, he wouldn't dare to come as a guide.
The other party was bombarded indiscriminately, and then he reacted. Mortar shells continued to fall around the hill where the second platoon was stationed, and the landing point was getting closer and closer. "Machine gun fire at Yao Lak!" Sanya Kan ordered.
Two machine guns rang out and poured bullets at Yao Lat like water. The opponent's machine gun bullets also kept splashing on this side of the hill. At a distance, the lethality of machine guns on both sides was limited. But the explosion of "boom" is getting closer and closer.
"Shift positions!" Seeing that the opponent's artillery landing point was getting closer and closer, Sanyakan quickly ordered.
The second platoon withdrew from its position with gusts of wind, and then went to a cliff 100 meters away from it, set up mortars, and bombarded Yao Lat again. The two sides of the position were firing at each other, and tracer bullets flew between the two mountains, drawing a red trajectory in the dark night sky......
When the shells ran out, four fighters in the second platoon were also slightly wounded. At this time, on the road of Yao Lat descending the mountain, a dense explosion sounded. This is the Yao Lat defenders who came down the mountain to try to attack the top of the hill and stepped on a mine. The platoon commander of the third platoon asked, "Why are there so many mines?" Although Sanya Kan also wondered, he understood after a little thought, so he smiled.
He looked at his watch, and it was nearly eleven o'clock at night. Explosions still sounded from time to time in the direction of Minglak, but the gunfire had already thinned out, and he estimated that the first and second platoons must have retreated safely, so he waved his hand, "Withdraw!" ”
The second platoon, led by the guide Heienberg, quickly locked into the depths of the dense forest.
Bai Li had successfully escaped from the battlefield with the first and second platoons, and when the soldiers of the 722nd Regiment rushed to Taorat, the Khmer Company had already disappeared. After inspecting the Taorati Town Office, the defenders were all picked, and the miserable scene was like hell on earth. The artillery at Yao Lat stronghold rumbled, and the remnants of the soldiers did not bother to bury the remains of their comrades, so under the command of the only remaining deputy battalion commander, they began to outflank the Khmer troops attacking Yao Lat stronghold.
When the two armies met, they knew that the enemy who bombarded Yao Lak's stronghold had long since disappeared......
Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan led the team into a combat formation, walked on the top of the cliff on the right side of Fogui Canyon, followed the three rows of Sanya Kan not far away, and walked slowly in the direction of Songge Mountain.
"Can you attract them out?" Lin Tao was not at ease and asked in a low voice.
"Definitely. The 722nd Regiment has not suffered such heavy losses since it entered Songgo Mountain. Division 319B will not rest on its laurels! Yu Songyuan replied affirmatively.
They are talking about the three battalions of the 710 Special Forces Brigade. This battalion belonged to the 319B Division, which was stationed in Koh Kong Province, perhaps because the guerrilla area of the Tonle Sap Lake was too fierce, and they focused their operations on the eastern end of Cardamom Mountain, focusing on guarding against the Tonle Sap Lake area. This attack, Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan were a little disappointed in their hearts, because you can't smell them at all in Mingla.
But after the attack, things may not be the same. The 319B Division suffered a heavy covert loss, and the third battalion of the 710th Special Service Brigade would inevitably be sent here to find the loophole.
After Sanyakan left Yao Lai with the second platoon, he began a rapid march in the jungle and quickly got rid of the "pursuers". The soldiers were exhausted, and as soon as he ordered the troops to rest in place for a while, Zhang Wuchang's lazy voice sounded on the walkie-talkie, "The chasing soldiers are only three kilometers away from you, order the troops to set off quickly, return to the base along the Fogui Gorge, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
As soon as Sanya Kan lifted the bamboo tube, he was startled and jumped up directly from the ground. Choking on a mouthful of water, he coughed violently and commanded hoarsely, "No...... Rest, battle formation...... Quick to go......"
The soldiers were also frightened, quickly formed a battle formation, quickly drilled into the Fogui Gorge, and retreated to the Songge Mountain base area. Sanyakan asked in a panic as he walked quickly, "Instructor, are you ...... Where is it? ”
"I'm not far near you! Bastard, don't panic, constantly set up defenses along the way. Listen to you, we are retreating, not escaping......" Zhang Wuchang, Liu Weimin and Lin Zhumin are the top soldiers, and they are walking behind their team at this moment, and the distance is only a few hundred meters.
"This choke, like a dog, this thing must have lost all the souls......" Liu Weimin laughed.
Sanyakan was indeed scared, and after a long time, they were purely training them to fight. It turned out that his second row, from beginning to end, was under the protection of others. No wonder the mines under the mountain are so dense, and there are more than ten in his second row. But the explosion showed that there were at least twenty or thirty ......
