Chapter 1005: A Narrow Road Encounter

The elite of the 1st Brigade and the 1st Regiment that participated in the night attack on Bac Ninh in North Vietnam were the team that the division commander Qi Fang served as a battalion officer in the past, and it has always been composed of the most elite officers and soldiers in the division—and coincidentally, Qi Fang's nephew, Qi Sheng, a young second lieutenant from Mawei, served as the commander of the reconnaissance company that pioneered the way.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Qi Fang, the commander of the Second Division, stood on the top of an unnamed mountain, looking depressedly at the still undulating mountains in the distance.

However, the dense rainforests of the Dutch East Indies caused huge trouble to the Second Division, and even he, with great willpower, had to give the middle finger to these damn dense vines and rainforests...... Climbing over a mountain covered with ancient vines and forests is far more maddening than lying on a mountain twice as high.

Despite marching with all his might, Qi Fang was still less than 2 fingers away from his destination on the open map at the moment...... This means that the overnight march has only completed 70% of the original plan, and there is still at least 5 kilometers of bad hilly journey.

Looking at the pocket watch he took out, Qi Fang frowned, the hour hand was already pointing to half past four in the morning, the main battlefield on He Xiaojun's side should be about to start, but he was still fighting with the rainforest, it was really a damn task, but this was a task that had to be completed, otherwise, the entire strategic plan would obviously be affected......

"Summons the order to tell the Bac Ninh regiment that they must also rush to the predetermined point in 1 hour and resolutely complete the blocking mission! We must hold out until we arrive! ”

Soon, Qi Sheng got an order from the battalion headquarters, and this task also drove him crazy. After a night of rapid marching, even with amazing endurance, he felt a lot of pressure, and he arrived at his destination in 1 hour, which was really an ironman cross-country race...... This is a primeval jungle that is truly a fake!

However, in front of every Chinese soldier, the order and prohibition have long been nonsense that does not need to be repeated, "Order, bring only guns, bullets, grenades, abandon all other baggage, and start running!" ”

Qi Sheng in the dark. issued an order to his subordinates in a low voice, without any hesitation at all, and immediately a bunch of various things were added to the roadside, dry food, clothes, backpacks...... Immediately they were stacked neatly, and the officers immediately took the lead in carrying the ammunition for the weaker ones in the ranks. One by one, the soldiers quickly followed the team running with all their weapons.

In the rapid march in the middle of the night, Qi Sheng walked at the forefront. Guide the whole team. The deputy company commander followed closely behind the team to ensure that every soldier could keep up with the team in the dark night, and at the same time, make eye-catching notes for the rear troops, in the silent night. In addition to the dense footsteps and the crisp sound of bullets hitting the butts of the guns, this team of more than 100 people quickly climbed over several mountains in front of them like a black dragon.

After passing through a valley from a barely visible path, Qi Sheng's vision suddenly widened. The mountains and woods, which had been continuous and could be seen everywhere in the darkness, suddenly disappeared, and in their place were a vague road in the distance.

"Maps! …… Rest in place for 2 minutes, Wang Dahu, you take a class to the front to have a look! Qi Sheng immediately screamed softly, and the 1st platoon commander behind him immediately took out a map from the canvas bag on his body, and the two of them gathered in front of the map by the faint light of the fire, while Qi Sheng, who was good at surveying and mapping, took out a small steel ruler and made two strokes with a pencil on the map, pondering for a moment......

Deputy Company Commander Chen Guangwei also caught up from behind at this time, and asked with a tired face, "Where are you?" I don't think it looks like it! ”

"Well, Lao Chen, this should be not far from the Gandun River, however, the road ahead is not marked on the map we surveyed, I think, we should follow this road all the way to the northwest, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the river soon!" Qi Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said very firmly.

Chen Guangwei smiled and pointed to the military uniform on his body that had been torn by thorns in several places, "The forests of this Java Island are really tormenting, I want to go back to the regiment commander and ask for a new ...... If there is a mountain trail, I think I will be able to make it in time...... By the way, Lao Qi, will the Dutch Maozi take this road when he withdraws, or it would be good to block the Dutch here! ”

"I don't think so, we came from the flank, and we must occupy the Gandun River crossing according to the plan...... The direction of this road should be over there......"

Just when Qi Sheng and Chen Guangwei were muttering and discussing, there was a sudden order to release the secret whistle not far ahead, and soon someone answered the password, and then, the deputy Wang Dahu of the second platoon ran over sweating profusely, and behind him, several soldiers actually carried a person and walked back!

"Big Tiger, where did you go and catch a tongue?" When Qi Sheng saw this situation, he immediately realized that something was wrong, how could there be a place to capture enemy prisoners in this wilderness? As for the natives, Wang Dahu must not be so boring to catch it!

"Company commander...... Captain...... A little past this road, I saw a village, and just wanted to explore the wind outside the village, I came across this Dutch hairy man who came out to...... I'm not going to do it! ”

"Dutch! You haven't made any big moves! Qi Sheng was also shocked when he heard the news, "This is the Dutch army?" Did you ask for any news? ”

Wang Dahu's strange expression, "How can it, company commander...... My hands and feet, grab a handful of Dutch hairs and let them hear it? I just asked two more questions, and when I shook the bayonet, the thing kept babbling...... It's just that I've learned bird language, and I can't understand it at all!"

This made Qi Sheng depressed for a while, but they temporarily trained a few Dutch bird words, such as "Shoot or kill!" "Surrender preferential treatment" and so on, but this interrogation of prisoners, a few words of bird language that worked, because it was a rapid march, and the interpreter assigned by the regimental headquarters did not follow, God knows that the Dutch army will come here!

When the prisoner was pulled over, in the faint light of the match, it was indeed a large Dutch regular army, and the Dutch was also very inexplicable that someone had suddenly captured a prisoner here, and from the other party's military momentum, clothing, and neat firearms, he obviously recognized that the other party was not an indigenous rebel.

The only possibility, of course, is the rumored Chinese regular army, and the bayonet that Wang Dahu shook just now obviously scared him a lot.

Qi Sheng and Chen Guangwei listened to a black line, and God knew what this Dutch hairman was talking about...... Qi Sheng looked at the officers who came over, took out a cigarette, didn't light it, just sniffed it...... There must have been a Dutch garrison ahead, and it stands to reason that there should not be a Dutch army here...... The only explanation is that this may be a certain baggage force behind the Dutch 2nd Division in front of the assault! Maybe...... That is, a peripheral Dutch army squad...... But, naturally, the possibility that a large Dutch army was really stationed here cannot be ruled out!

Ten minutes later, Qi Sheng had already taken his soldiers and horses, and cautiously came to the outside of the village along the mountain road, but it was the twilight before dawn, and the whole village and the distant scene could not be seen clearly at all, and the road in front of him led directly to the village, and the two wings were stretching mounds.

After thinking about it for a while, he immediately made up his mind, and naturally he couldn't hesitate in the slightest decision when he was about to fight, "Lao Chen...... We can't wait, don't care about Nang, even if it's a big hole, we'll fill him with bullets...... I attacked from the slopes of the right flank with 1 platoon...... You bring 2 rows, 3 rows of frontal bursts! ”

The darkness before dawn provided the most tangible hidden advantage for Qi Sheng's bold assault, and afterwards, this assault with a very arbitrary mark also unexpectedly detonated a bombshell for the entire Dutch East Indies campaign!

At 4:47, Qi Sheng's commando team, which had just crossed a large area of farmland from the left flank and made a detour on the dirt slope, suddenly saw a situation that surprised him, and Qi Sheng crawled over to confirm it again, and immediately determined that there were more than a dozen wooden boxes stacked outside their ambush site and an indigenous thatched hut directly under the dirt slope, and the shape of the box was definitely a standard ammunition box.

Qi Sheng also saw that there were at least dozens of horses tethered to the low wooden fences in the village, and various mule and horse trailers could be faintly seen everywhere outside the house......

This situation immediately made Qi Sheng's blood boil as if he had drunk five catties of soju, Niang's, he really hit shit luck today, and he actually bumped into the Dutch logistics troops in this ghost place, and he immediately beckoned, and smiled behind him: "Blow it up...... Burn the ......"

Hu Dabing, the commander of the 1st platoon, put a Type 86 long-handled hand grenade with white smoke into a pile of boxes, and then rushed back like a rabbit with an arrow...... In the next moment, there was an earth-shattering loud noise, and a sky-high fire cloud was set off in the middle of the entire village, and the wave of violent explosion swept through everything within dozens of meters around it like a remnant cloud.

Dozens of meters away, Qi Sheng, who was lying behind the earthen wall, covered his ears with his hands, and as a result, the violent explosion and earth-shattering loud noise still made them feel dizzy and suffocating, and what was even more funny was that a fence more than one meter high in front of them fell down before they saw it, scaring everyone, but fortunately, it was just a miscellaneous wood fence, and it had no weight.

Seeing a huge ignited fireball flying out of the sky overhead, Qi Sheng was the first to jump up and rush to the nearest one that had been shattered by most of the room, and there was a gurgling and completely incomprehensible language in the darkness, and a dozen shirtless Dutchmen rushed out with a strange scream, and they were greeted by an ovoid grenade and a very compact three-shot burst!

Rumble...... (To be continued......)
