Chapter 20: Burying Ruan Dan Alive
Nguyen Dan is a war maniac who loves war and women.
He couldn't stand the silence. Once there was no fighting, he would feel very lost, and he would have to sleep every night by the battalion's confidential officers or the female soldiers of the "laundry squad", and only after tossing and turning until he was exhausted, he could barely sleep. But since entering Taorat Town, he was so dazed by Pengti that he was no longer interested in moving a finger against the female soldiers in the camp.
When the time for departure came, Nguyen Dan reluctantly left Kana's compound. Peng Ti got up lazily from the bamboo bed, leaned naked on the head of the bed, and lit a cigarette first. Kana came in and reported that the pigeon had been released. Peng Ti nodded, not even looking at him. Kana, as usual, bowed his head and withdrew. The German, Heienberg, walked in angrily, as usual.
He had a belly full of fire, iodine a big belly, and his nose was puffing and panting, and he was about to do it when he walked in.
"Get out, get out!"
Peng Ti and Ruan Dan are just acting today, and she is not in the mood to entangle with men. At this moment, she was like an empress, and she drove Hainberg out of the boudoir without mercy.
Although she is debauched, she is kind-hearted and cares about her mother Loya and her younger siblings. Sister-in-law Bai Li's Khmer Company is going to a life-and-death battle tonight, the opponent is Nguyen Dan's third battalion, she knows what it means, and her heart has already flown into the battlefield that is not far away. My fate is not good, everything has been ruined, and my life is a mess. She pinned all her hopes in life on her two younger sisters, and she hoped that Bai Li and the monkey would be safe.
They are the support of their whole family's nest of women......
Deep down, she was still thinking about her other brother. But she was not worried about the "younger brother" and his comrades-in-arms, they came and went without wind and means, and the Annamites were not their opponents. They are the protectors of their nest of women. She didn't hate Ruan Dan, but he was an intruder, and it was not a pity to die. She can be sure that Ruan Dan will definitely die after Dashuang, and he will never have a chance to come to her again.
I can't tell why, but at this moment she is already in tears......
At two o'clock in the night, it did not rain, but a strong wind blew. Bai Li commanded the "Khmer Company" to quietly climb the Buddha Gui Peak from the jungle. He divided his troops into three parts, and Sanya Kan led three platoons and blocked the hole in the crack in the rocks on the mountainside. With one or two rows, in the howling wind, he quietly climbed to the top of the mountain and controlled the Reclining Buddha Cave far away.
The enemy's secret outpost is set up on a rock about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, the rock is convex, two or three meters high, sandwiched between two bowl-thick pine trees, very hidden. Bai Li carefully distinguished, and there was no one on the stone at this time. It was windy in the mountains, and the temperature in the jungle at night was less than 20 degrees. At this time, the secret post in the cave did not find the Khmer company that had surrounded the Buddha cave far away. Bai Li looked at the bowl table and ordered not to alarm them for the time being.
Throughout the night, Li Haichao and Yu Songyuan led the team to hide at the top of the cliff of Fogui Canyon, more than 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave. It's a dense pristine rainforest that shades the sky even during the day. At night, it was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and I couldn't see my fingers. Liu Guodong and Zhuang Yushu had already planted enough explosives around the entrance of the cave, and the team quietly waited for the arrival of the prey.
At one o'clock in the night, Zhuang Yushu, who was in charge of observation, sent a signal.
Everyone who was napping in their raincoats quickly woke up, and Li Haichao saw from the night vision goggles that a group of green figures came to the entrance of the cave, silently and well-trained, one by one into the cave. About more than 100 people entered the cave, and only seven people were left at the entrance of the cave, and a defensive position was secretly established on the spot, which was obviously the guard controlling the entrance of the cave.
"There are 128 commandos in total, and there are no support troops in the rear!" *** reported from the observation position on the cliff side about a kilometer apart.
"Move closer to me!" Yu Songyuan ordered***.
The timing couldn't be better. A company of the 710 Brigade usually has fifty or sixty people, which is a whole two companies. Li Haichao gave an order, "Explosion!" Zhuang Yushu pressed the button, and there was a loud bang, and the class left by Ruan Dan at the entrance of Fogui Canyon was completely covered by a big explosion.
There are only seven people in this squad of the third battalion, and the task is to control the entrance. This entrance is on top of a cliff at the top of the canyon, halfway up the mountain, completely covered by dense forest. After the explosion, Li Haichao did not order a surprise attack. By the time the smoke from the explosion had cleared, there were no signs of green life in the night vision goggles. Only then was ordered to inspect the battlefield, and only five bodies were found.
"Two dogs went into the hole...... Liu Guodong affirmed. He commanded Zhuang Yushu and had already planted enough explosives at the entrance of the cave. The team withdrew to a safe distance, Li Haichao ordered the explosion, and after a loud "boom", the mountain began to shake slightly, and the entrance of the cave had completely collapsed.
and Liu Weimin moved from the top of the cliff, Liu Guodong and Zhuang Yushu checked it, confirmed the effect and reported, "The explosion point is set at fifteen meters, this cave is completely destroyed, and the effect is good!" ”
Li Haichao, Yu Songyuan, and Lin Tao all confirmed it in person, and the team began to climb up the mountain.
Bai Li's "Khmer Company" was in trouble, and the sound of explosions from the bottom of the mountain made the observation posts in the Reclining Buddha Cave jump. However, the two exits before and after the Reclining Buddha Cave have been completely blocked by the Khmer Company, making them unable to move. Bai Li ordered a platoon leader to lead a platoon to surround the Reclining Buddha Cave and eliminate the observation sentinels, but not to damage the big Buddha statue inside.
He himself led the second platoon to the big rock dozens of meters below the Reclining Buddha Cave and firmly controlled the entrance of the cave. In accordance with Li Haichao's order, he planted enough explosives in the cave, and with a "boom", the entrance of the cave, which was almost straight up and down, completely collapsed.
But the row that besieged the Reclining Buddha Cave paid a heavy price.
The enemy observation post knew that the Khmer had thrown a rat bogey, and kept throwing grenades into the dense forest below the hillside. In the roaring explosion, seven fighters of the Khmer company were wounded by shrapnel. The platoon leader who underestimated the enemy was annoyed, and for a moment he was confused, roaring and preparing to attack. At this moment, Bai Li came, and he knocked over a long row with one kick to stop the attack.
"Assault hand cover, flamethrower ready!" Bai Li shouted, dozens of M16 assault rifles, with a dense rain of bullets shrouded the entrance of the cave, four pyroists from four directions, "whew" spewed out four fire dragons, the cave instantly turned into a hell on earth, a soldier on fire rushed out screaming, was killed by the soldiers, and burned to ashes in a blink of an eye.
The gunfire stopped, and there was silence on the battlefield.
The second platoon commander wanted to command the soldiers to storm into the hole, but was stopped by Bai Li. Forty minutes later, the soldiers entered the cave to inspect it, and the cave was blazing hot and the stones were hot. Five observation sentinels, who have been burned to ashes. Bai Li personally entered the cave to check, and the Big Buddha was safe and sound. By the time Li Haichao boarded the squad with his squad, the battle was over.
Liu Guodong, Zhuang Yushu, and *** carefully checked the situation at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain, and after confirming that it was safe, Bai Li commanded the Khmer Company to carry the wounded and began to retreat. "Instructor, this mountain is too big, it would be terrible if there were other exits to the cave......" Bai Li asked Yu Songyuan uneasily.
"Rest assured, we have double-checked, there are only three exits." lit a cigarette and walked leisurely, "I'm laughing to death, let these dogs stay in the belly of the mountain, six or seven days at most......"
Sanya ordered the third platoon to plant a sufficient amount of explosives in the hole in the stone crevice, and when the sound of the explosion on the top of the mountain was heard, he ordered it to be detonated. There was a loud "boom", the ground shook like a mountain, and the entire stone crack was completely blown up. Sanya Kan went to check it with a cigarette in his mouth, and it happened that there was a faint rumbling sound in the mountain, which frightened him to take a few steps back in a row, and his heart trembled.
This is too powerful, this damn won't blow up the whole mountain!
The mountain was not blown up, but to Bai Li and the others' regret, the big explosion at the entrance of the cave on the top of the mountain, and the huge power of the flamethrower, the big Buddha statue didn't seem to have any problems at first. At this time, it has slowly disintegrated, collapsed, and turned into a pile of rubble, and the cave has lost its cultural value......
By the time we returned to camp, it was already dawn and it was drizzling like cow's hair. Song Cheng, Yang Mingtao, and Lingyu were all waiting, and the villagers all stayed awake all night, silently gathering in front of the wooden house of the headquarters. Huang Jinxiu was holding Xiao Xiangyue, and she was also in the crowd, and the little thing couldn't sleep, so she had to see Liu Guodong to sleep. Seeing that the Khmer had returned from a great victory, the camp quickly boiled. Luo Ya happily hugged her son-in-law Bai Li and kissed her a few times.
Xiao Xiangyue broke free from her mother's arms and stumbled into Liu Guodong's arms. By the time Liu Guodong walked into the headquarters with her in his arms, Xiao Budian was already sleepy and fell asleep early.
Song Cheng stood in front of the sand table and listened to Li Haichao's report on the battle, "A total of more than 120 people entered the cave. The observation posts have also been cleared, and the Khmer company has fought well...... "Yu Songyuan, ***, Bai Li, and Sanyakan reported on the combat experience of each detachment.
After listening to the report, Yu Songyuan and the others went to take a bath and take a shower. Song Chengtie's face was blue, but he fell into deep thought.
The war could have been fought like this, and the Chinese were good at scheming, which opened the eyes of his commander-in-chief. On the morning of the same day, Song Cheng ordered the Khmer Company and the "United Nations Team" to be rewarded, and the officers and men of the base area in Ekam Town braved the thunderstorm and used elephant camels to buy ten jars of rice wine and two fat pigs from Siam, and the whole camp was filled with a festive atmosphere.
This is also the biggest reward that Song Cheng, who is the commander-in-chief during the war, can get.
The brilliant achievements of the Khmer Company have greatly boosted the morale of the people of Cambodia. The Khmer troops in the Ekam base area also began to attack the Annam army in Minh Ratchasima and Yao Lat. The struggle of the entire Songgo Mountains was quickly reversed.
In the evening, Song Chengcheng began to return to Meilai Mountain with his guards. Before leaving, he humbly discussed the shape of the Khmer anti-aggression struggle with Yang Mingtao and others. Yang Mingtao, Li Haichao, and Yu Songyuan judged that the situation had already entered the stage of strategic stalemate, and the people of Cambodia took the initiative to attack, using the guerrilla zone of the Tonle Sap Lake as a breakthrough point to actively seek fighters around the capital Phnom Penh, and push the course of the war in a direction favorable to the side.
