Chapter 196: Suicide Counterattack

By the time we arrived at Heights 237, the battle was nearing its end as expected.

Although there was still sporadic resistance on Heights 237, the gunfire was sparse, and it was clear that the fighters were almost out of ammunition.

Without saying a word, the soldiers and I immediately entered the battle, and began to outflank the Vietnamese troops attacking the positions at the top of the hill from the foot of the mountain.

Our presence seemed to have given a shot in the arm to the soldiers at the top of the hill, and at the same time caused a brief period of confusion among the Vietnamese army...... After all, at this time, they have actually fallen into a passive situation of attacking from both sides.

However, this is also telling the Vietnamese army: if you don't take the top position immediately, you will only die.

So those more devils launched an attack on the mountaintop position like crazy, the machine guns hit the mountaintop position, and the AK47 ones rushed while fighting, and suddenly the mountaintop position was a cloud of smoke and blood, and the PLA soldiers stationed on it were beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back.

There is a saying that the trapped beast is still fighting, which means that people often fight with the determination to die in a desperate situation, and it is precisely this kind of struggle that reflects the amazing combat effectiveness, and this is the case with the Vietnamese army's attack this time...... From this point of view, our arrival hastened the fall of the hilltop position.

Then...... The last thing we wanted to see happened, the Vietnamese army quickly rushed into the distance where the grenades were thrown, and then threw grenades at the hilltop position.

After a burst of explosion......s, a barrage broke out on the hilltop position, and the next second, the Vietnamese army rushed in like a pack of fierce jackals......

It's all late...... I couldn't help but sigh, waiting for us now. It seems to be another tough battle. We can only hope that the Vietnamese army's follow-up troops will be able to take down this 237 heights before they arrive!

"Keep going!" Company Commander Luo gritted his teeth and gave an order.

I know what Company Commander Luo thinks. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Vietnamese army had just taken the 237 heights and had not yet gained a firm foothold.

It's just that this method may also work for the recruit troops. It will not have much effect on veteran troops like the Vietnamese army, because they will have a tacit understanding to send some people to clean up the battlefield, while the main force concentrates on organizing defense.

However, there seems to be no other way now, and there is only a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so we still spread out in formation and surrounded the 237 heights with guns according to the order of Company Commander Luo.

At this time, something unexpected happened to us, and the Yue devils who had just rushed into the smoke retreated...... And they all looked panicked.

Although the soldiers and I didn't know what was happening, we didn't hesitate to raise our guns and shoot at the Vietnamese soldiers who had fled...... Those more devils stood in front of us like targets, and after a burst of gunshots, they lay down in an instant.

Just when we were wondering how the Vietnamese army could make such a low-level mistake, there was a bang from the hilltop position...... The entire hilltop position was almost blown up.

I found out later. This is the soldier stationed at the top of the hill position with Jihua pulling and igniting the explosive pack...... The reason why they say that they have jihua is because they have long known that they will not be able to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army without bullets, and they also know that the Vietnamese army will throw out the grenade before launching the zuihou attack......

In order to kill as many enemies as possible, and to provide us with a chance to recapture Heights 237, they had a small meeting before the Vietnamese army rushed up...... Let the soldier who has run out of bullets or the wounded soldier who has no combat ability hold the explosive bag and wait in the cat's ear hole.

There were more than a dozen of them, and they were spaced apart from each other, almost circumnavigating the entire hilltop position...... The reason why they had to hide in the cat's ear hole was because they had been waiting for the grenade thrown by the Vietnamese army.

The sound of the Vietnamese grenade exploding was the signal for them to pull off the explosive pack...... It should be said that this is very clever, the smoke of the Vietnamese grenade can cover the charge of the Vietnamese army, and it can also cover the fire of the fuse of the explosive bag, and the soldiers who hide in the cat's ear hole with the explosive bag will hardly be harmed by the Vietnamese grenade. Of course. Except if a grenade is dropped through a hole in the cat's ear.

And so it's like what we see...... The Vietnamese army did not realize that the hilltop position had actually become a powder magazine that was about to be detonated, and they were still rushing into it in groups...... Part of this is discovered. After all, soldiers who have fought on the battlefield are still very sensitive to the "sizzling" sound of the fuse, but it is a pity that after they escape, they have to face our guns. If you don't escape, you don't need to say more, with a loud "boom" everything is gone.

It's just that...... Along with the enemy and the hilltop positions, there were also our soldiers stationed on them......

Looking at this scene, we couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but Company Commander Luo would not give up such an opportunity, so he waved the rifle in his hand and shouted at the soldiers: "Comrades! Come on! Avenge the comrades of the 3rd battalion! ”

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

……

The soldiers of the three battalions stationed on the positions on the top of the hill...... Their suicidal zuihou bombing not only provided us with a chance to regain our position, but also aroused our bloody and murderous intent.

Although the battle has developed to this point, we have fought two battles, and many enemies have died under our hands...... However, in the previous two battles, we were slaughtering the enemy...... Sometimes things on the battlefield can't be said, just like you owe money to others or do something to be sorry for others, you will feel a little sorry in your heart, and the same is true for killing enemies on the battlefield.

This is actually quite normal, because killing an enemy is the greatest kind of sorry...... Even though they are our enemies, and even though we know they deserve to die, there is still a sense of guilt in our hearts after killing.

This may be difficult to imagine for peaceful people, and perhaps many people will begin to talk about the big truth at this time: on the battlefield, they are the enemy, and there is nothing to say about the enemy.

However, everyone understands the truth, and when you really watch the enemy die one after another at your guns on the battlefield, there is still no way to feel nothing at all. This may be the difference between a man and a beast.

It is precisely because of this that we have to constantly make excuses for ourselves to balance, such as...... The more devils intruded on my border, so we should be killed, the more devils killed many of our comrades, so we should be killed, and the more devils wanted our lives, so we had to kill......

And what has always supported me to continue to kill without mercy is the scene of the bombing of the field hospital, that is, Zhang Fan's helpless eyes and wails in the flames...... Although I didn't see it with my own eyes.

It is also out of this psychology that we slaughtered the Vietnamese army in the two battles of our feelings, so not only did we not hate the Vietnamese army, but we also had some sorry psychology in our subconscious. The more devils we kill, the more devils we should hate.

But at this moment, provoked by the tragic suicidal counterattack of the PLA soldiers on the hilltop position, the hatred for the Vietnamese army in our hearts came out again. So they all rushed towards the 237 heights with bayonets, and after rushing up, they stabbed and killed the Vietnamese army indiscriminately......

But to be honest, at this time, the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain had no power to resist, and after the explosives package exploded, the Vietnamese devils were stunned even if they didn't die, and even if they weren't stunned, they were deaf and dizzy and had no ability to react.

If these Vietnamese soldiers can be prisoners of our army in peacetime, it can even be said that the tradition of our army is to treat prisoners preferentially, but at this moment, where will we care so much, I only think that these people are still fighting at our comrades-in-arms and our brothers just now, that is, they forced the soldiers of the third battalion to death, and they also want to block our retreat and want to eat us in one bite...... Then they don't deserve to die, and who else deserves to die?

So whether it was standing or lying down or half-lying and half-standing struggling, it was either a knife or a few bullets......

The battle was soon over, and when the smoke gradually faded, we found that the trenches on the 237 position had been blown up, and we could see almost all the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers, and most of the corpses of our soldiers were buried in the trenches that had collapsed with explosives.

A few soldiers seemed to be unwilling, frantically digging into the trenches with sapper shovels, trying to rescue a few fighters...... But everyone knows that it is in vain, no one can survive such an explosion, and it is buried in the earth.

It didn't take long for the third battalion commander to come back with the soldiers, and when he saw this scene, he could only sigh and take off his hat to salute the soldiers who died on the 237 heights. Then...... One by one, the soldiers took off their hats, and the mountain wind swept in front of us with a cloud of gunsmoke, and in an instant the whole battlefield was filled with the sadness that the heroes were gone.

However, in the end, we did not let the soldiers die on Vietnamese soil. Before retreating, we dug all the trenches as best we could, looking for the remains of the martyrs.

It should be said that this practice is very dangerous, because it takes time to find the body, and it also takes time to carry the body...... And we may have to face the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army at any time, and it will be difficult to get rid of them once they are entangled. After all, we are retreating, and there is no cover from other troops.

But...... Eventually, we decided to do it. The reason is simple, these fighters died for us, and without them, perhaps we would never have made the way home.

I searched and searched, but in the end, I couldn't find all the thirty-seven corpses...... We only found about two dozen bodies, the others may have been blown up by explosives packs, and no identifiable bodies were found. (To be continued......)
