Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Thousand Men Section 1 Veterans Do Not Die
Today, the 35th anniversary of the counterattack against Vietnam, at dawn on February 17, 1979, thousands of Chinese youths in the prime of life waited quietly in the trenches, and when the needles and minutes were aimed at the scale that will forever be on the monument of history, they jumped out of the trenches without hesitation and rushed towards the artillery fire.
Thirty-five years have passed, and the young soldiers who participated in the counterattack against Vietnam are now almost in their prime. How many of us still remember them? How many people still remember the land that was stained red with blood back then?
It has only been thirty-five years, and tens of thousands of heroes and martyrs who have been buried in the lofty mountains and mountains of the southern country are about to be forgotten! Overlooked! What about the martyrs who died on Treasure Island forty-five years ago? What about the people who shed a drop of blood in the Himalayas fifty-two years ago? What about the hundreds of thousands of people who crossed the Yalu River 62 years ago and never returned? What about the millions of soldiers who fought with the Japanese devils for 14 years 83 years ago?
Do we remember these veterans who are drifting away? Don't say much, you should be scolded again if you talk too much, in the era of peace, listen to the song bubbles, what do you do when you mention this, isn't it?
Without further ado, let's quote an old MacArthur quote to commemorate the veterans!
"A veteran never dies, he just fades out of the stage!"
Speaking of veterans, Yang Bangzi became a soldier when he was a teenager, and after so many years, he said that he was not a veteran, and no one was convinced! Military age is actually a matter of numbers, if a veteran doesn't have the skills of a veteran, then he has already hung up on a battlefield before he becomes a veteran!
It's not that I despise the current domestic war film and television dramas, the one filmed is called a fake, and the Eighth Route Army is holding an AK47. American-made M1 howitzer for little devils. Also drove M3 American tanks. Why don't you let the Eighth Route use all the J-20 fighters!
Weapons and equipment are not on the road, it's good to say something, after all, there are few ordinary people who understand messy weapon models, but you are shooting a war movie, can you show the soldiers or something, and pay attention to it?
The most common thing is that no matter whether the enemy or our army, they are all running around in piles like herding sheep, marching without outposts, and camping without light and dark posts near and far. The enemy has been shelling the positions continuously, casually lying on the positions, it is a shell! It's not a two-kicker!
I read a memoir written by an anti-Japanese veteran, saying that when he first went to the battlefield, the devil fired a cannon, and the official was not allowed to lie on the ground, so he squatted there with his head in his arms, and many people still didn't understand why? As a result, after a battle, many people couldn't eat and vomited vigorously. Spit and vomit and die, why? Lying on the ground, the shock wave of the shell explosion shook the internal organs!
It is also more common to charge forward with a straight waist. Whether it's attacking or shooting, the whole front is exposed in a big stab, just like that, if you really go to the battlefield, you can't rush through 50 meters, and you will be beaten into a sugar gourd! You see a lot of old expansions, all of them are cats with their waists and sideways moving so fast, why? Minimize exposed fronts! One inch less exposed could have dodged a few more bullets!
A veteran, on the battlefield filled with the smoke of war, should be able to judge in a few seconds whether there are any people of his own who are alive within a few tens of meters around him? How far away is the enemy's fixed point of fire? What is the approximate density of artillery fire? What is the approximate interval between shelling and machine-gun firing? These are the most basic skills used to save lives!
If you survive the battlefield, you can take out the opponent! You're all hung up there, what's the use! The enemy is still there!
So you look at a master like Yang Bangzi, it's not that he has a sixth sense or a special function, it's purely a skill that he has practiced, and there are still 5 miles away from Xiwangzhuang, he intuitively told himself that something was not quite right over there, and the two sets of reconnaissance posts released in front of him said that there was no movement, but he still resolutely asked the team to stop and sent a third wave of scouts to take a look.
Or I always say that I can't watch the current film and television dramas, no matter how many people march, I don't even know how to put a reconnaissance post, you should go to a neighboring village to meet in peacetime!
Don't look at Yang Bangzi brought more than 100 people, but before the brigade set off, a company sent two groups of reconnaissance posts, which were separated by about a mile, and every ten miles or so, the reconnaissance posts would stop and wait for the brigade, and after reporting the situation, the brigade took a break, and the other group of people were sent to the front.
It's just alternately rotating at a distance of about two kilometers in front of the brigade.,Serve as a reconnaissance mission for the top soldiers.,It's called marching.,If it's determined in advance and jihuahaodezuihou destination.,Generally, it's half a day in advance to send out scouts who feel the situation and make intelligence.,If necessary, you have to make up.,Pretend to be the other party's people or fellow villagers.,Mix in.,Grab a tongue or something.,There's a lot of knowledge here!
You look at the films made by Lao Mei, such as "Saving Private Ryan", the sentinels of the US military who serve as forward reconnaissance missions can be sent to dozens of kilometers deep in the German defense line, in addition to serving as reconnaissance missions, there are also tasks of attacking German transportation lines and attacking German military points.
Wasn't Ryan, who was about to be found, in a small detachment at the time, going to fight the German tracked transporters?
Not to mention that the US military is regular, the Eighth Road is the same, they are all soldiers who play with their lives, and this common sense can be divided into professional and amateur!
During the Red Army's Long March, the brigade was still a hundred miles away, and the vanguard troops had all arrived at Zunyi City!
In 37 years, the troops participating in the war have not yet reached the designated position, and the scouts sent by each of them have been lurking in the ambush area for three days, which is called war!
The first two groups of sentinels sent by Yang Bangzi were tasked with opening the road and searching, and there was no task of entering the village to see the situation, so they waited for the leaders and brigades at the place where they should stop. The leader intuitively said that the problem was that the one who was sent out was specifically going into the village to find out the situation, and this ordinary inexperienced soldier would not be able to take his turn.
This time it was the fifth son who took someone there, and he did this job, which is his old job!
Go fast, come back fast, Yang stick cat was woken up before he could sleep through.
You see, the veteran's instinct is to be right, something is really wrong in the village! Lao Wuzi said that there is at least one squadron of devils, plus no less than 200 puppet soldiers.
Where did this come from? Didn't the old third regiment say that they controlled Xiwangzhuang! Yang Bangzi was a little annoyed, and wanted the operator to turn on the radio and ask what was going on, but Director Cheng didn't agree, saying that when he came out of Kawaguchi Town, it had been set, and the radio was silent for three days, so it couldn't be turned on the next day!
Besides, the task of the team is to transfer to the southeast with two prisoners, and go to meet the team sent by the military region as soon as possible, not to let Yang Bangzi lead people to fight!
If you don't let you fight, you won't fight, but there is one thing that Yang Bangzi and Director Cheng are more energetic, the old five can say, there are immortal villagers in the village, all of them are on the wheat field in the south of the village, and there must be at least a few hundred people in the black press!
No matter where the fellow is, he was caught by the devil anyway, and there are three opinions on whether he should be rescued or not. Yang Bangzi means that if you don't see it, if you see it, it doesn't matter if you see it, it's not called Eight Roads!
Director Cheng meant to inform the Third Regiment of the work of saving the villagers, and the radio could not be turned on, so he sent people to Guojiabaozi in the east to find the people of the Third Regiment, because Xiwangzhuang was their garrison, and the team should bypass Xiwangzhuang and go south as soon as possible.
There is also an opinion that belongs to the old five sons, which means that the people are divided into two groups, one group takes the prisoners to take a detour to the south, and the other group tries to lure away the devils and find an opportunity to rescue the villagers.
However, the small meeting lasted for ten minutes, and Yang Bangzi said, so many fellows are surrounded here, who said that if you break the sky, don't want to stop him from saving him, usually call Director Cheng a respect, however, this is a military operation, Director Cheng is sorry, stand aside!
Although Director Cheng is Yang Bangzi's superior, he also understands the reason, and there is no objection at the moment, and the old five sons also support the rescue operation, so it is decided, now everyone is resting, and the action will be taken after the sky is dark.
The old fifth son was sent out again, and he also added the shovel monkey and Xiao Liangzi, both of them were familiar with the terrain in this area, and helped the old fifth son to reconnoiter the details of the reconnoitring, and came back with a tongue by the way. (To be continued......)
