Chapter 192: Role Model

Without further ado, an ambush against the Vietnamese army was soon launched.

We divided the troops into four parts in a company unit...... Of course, because the companies suffered heavy casualties, the number varied, some in the thirty or so, some in the forty or fifty.

The deployment of the troops of the three battalion commanders was as follows: three companies with large numbers and strong combat effectiveness were placed on the three high ground near Hebian, and one company with a small number of people was placed on the 237 high ground of Tanmeng.

Of course, this arrangement is reasonable, and the main forces of the three companies are placed on Hebian, and their purpose is to set up an ambush to attack the main force of the Vietnamese devils...... So what about Weishenme still guarding the 237 heights? This is also necessary, first, the order of the superiors to us is to garrison and explore, so this place cannot be easily lost. Another and more important one is ...... There are still fortifications just built by our army on the 237 heights, what if the Yue devils have sharp soldiers?

Because the troops were afraid of being ambushed by the enemy, they were always accustomed to leaving a group of spearheads in front of the main force, which was responsible for reconnaissance, and although the number was small, the effect was great. The troops of the Yue Devils are all experienced in combat, so of course they will not be so stupid that they don't even have top soldiers. So if there is no one to garrison on the 237 heights, will we fight this group of top soldiers or not?

Let's fight! This means that the main force of the Vietnamese army that followed it quickly realized that there was an ambush ahead.

Don't fight! There is no one on the 237 heights behind us, and there is also the construction of haode fortifications, okay...... The more devilish soldiers only need to occupy this high ground, then our back road will be cut off.

So, the three companies in front were used to ambush the enemy. However, the 237 heights located in Tanmeng are used to ensure our safe retreat.

But one thing is clear. The troops guarding Heights 237 were much less dangerous. One is because they are likely to be dealing with only a small number of Vietnamese troops. The other is that they are at the back. Advance can be attacked, retreated, defended, and even have time to retreat if necessary.

It is precisely because of this that the commander of the third battalion once wanted to arrange for our second company to be stationed on the 237 heights, but this proposal was quickly rejected by Company Commander Luo.

Company Commander Luo's reasoning is: Judging from the past achievements, our Second Company is undoubtedly the strongest unit in combat effectiveness...... Then now is the critical time, and the victory or defeat of this ambush battle in Hebian will be directly related to whether our army has ammunition or even whether it can retreat safely. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, and at this time, the troops with strong combat effectiveness should be placed in the most important position to ensure the victory of the battle.

Company Commander Luo's reasons are very good. So the commander of the third battalion did not insist any longer, and we were finally arranged to a high ground on Hebian.

There's a little bit of an episode in this...... In order to show that the combat effectiveness of our second company is not bad, Company Commander Luo casually talked about the previous battles...... For example, the Dai Nai Mountain Resistance Battle, such as the underground castle in Lao Cai, and then the command of the Vietnamese Army Special Task Force, and even the natural danger of the pass is interspersed......

The soldiers of the third battalion did not know the origin of our company, but they had heard that a heroic second company had fought these battles...... In fact, these deeds and examples of our company have long been spread throughout the army and have become a model for the troops, and the reason why the soldiers of the third battalion, including the commander of the third battalion, do not know our identity is only because we did not report the complete number, and the third battalion did not realize that we were the heroic second company that had achieved great results.

Thereupon...... After knowing that we were the one who cooperated with the 447th Regiment to hold the pass for a few days and nights. When the weak troops were able to withstand the frantic attack of the two regiments of the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army despite the lack of food, the whole army was a sensation.

The soldiers of the third battalion were all sick and wilted. This hula came up at once:

"Comrade, the day before yesterday, the battalion commander took us to see the corpses of the enemy at the pass, and dozens of trucks were loaded, and we couldn't transport them all!"

"And the tanks in the canyon! Dozens of cars were crammed inside...... It was a beautiful battle! ”

"I heard that you have no food and ammunition, and the Yue devils who defeated in such a difficult environment are really amazing!"

"Comrade, I heard that your sharpshooters can kill the commander of the Vietnamese army from a distance of a kilometer, is it true?"

……

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, thousands of kilometers away...... It's not that exaggerated, it must have been passed on by the soldiers one by one, so the more it was passed on, the more it became more and more divine.

However, at this time, Company Commander Luo raised his head at me in a mocking manner and said, "No, that's not him...... Our company's brains plus sharpshooters! ”

Now Company Commander Luo has trapped me in injustice, and the soldiers of the third battalion hula surrounded me and asked this and that, especially the SVD sniper rifle I was carrying, which attracted the envious eyes of many soldiers.

You must know that as the war deepens and deepens, our army has captured more and more sniper rifles, but these captured sniper rifles are only a drop in the ocean compared to the more than 200,000 people of our army, so they are still a rare thing...... In addition, the tradition of our army is to "destroy an enemy with one bullet", so although there are no snipers, sharpshooters still have a fairly high status, so I quickly gained a lot of "fans......

This can't help but make me cry and laugh a little...... Everything I did on the battlefield from the beginning to the end was just to save my life, and I really didn't expect to have this harvest today.

But that doesn't seem to be a bad thing, it's not ...... The soldiers of the third battalion were originally depressed, but now they were all as if they had been shot in the arm.

Perhaps, this is the liliang of the role model. In the past, I always didn't understand what heroes and role models the weishenme in the army always had to catch a few examples to promote, but now I seem to understand a little.

Zuihou or the commander of the third battalion relieved me of the siege, or the commander of the third battalion also added another piece of firewood at the right time, he stood in front of the soldiers of the third battalion and raised his hand and said: "Comrades, you see, the heroic second company is standing in front of you, and the heroic second company of the 316A division of the Vietnamese army is standing among us because of the lack of food and ammunition at the pass, the comrades of the second company can do it, and we can do it too, are you right!" ”

"That's right! Learn from Erlian! ”

"Take the second company as an example!"

……

Truth be told, if this is in modern times...... When I hear the words "follow the example of so-and-so and learn from so-and-so", my goosebumps fall all over the ground. However, I didn't know Weishenme, but I didn't feel awkward at all at this time...... I just feel that I should do better, otherwise I will disappoint the fighters of the third battalion or deserve to be their role model.

When I thought about it later, I realized that the most fundamental difference between them was that people in this era shouted these words...... It's all heartfelt, it's a real expression of emotion. So I naturally felt something completely different when I listened to it.

Every minute on the battlefield is precious, so the commander of the third battalion did not hesitate any longer and immediately assigned the combat mission.

After the commander of the third battalion knew that we were the second company of heroes, he no longer had the burden in his heart, and immediately arranged us to the forefront, that is, the closest high ground to Hebian.

I think that the commander of the third battalion is to let us play an exemplary role and make the morale of the whole army go further.

If there is a strong fighting force to take the lead, the other fighters will have the bottom in their hearts, and at the same time they will have confidence in winning the battle, so they will let go of the fight, or at this time it will also arouse a kind of psychology of other fighters who do not admit defeat...... I have the intention to compare with our heroic army, so the combat effectiveness of the entire army will follow!

It can even be said that the commander of the third battalion also gained confidence because he knew that we were a unit with good combat effectiveness, so he let go of his command.

Hebian was not far from Tanmeng, only a few kilometers, and we ran all the way for more than twenty minutes before entering our respective positions.

Of course, the reason why it took more than 20 minutes was because we had sent a small group of sharp soldiers to reconnoiter beforehand...... We don't want to be discovered by the sentinels of the Yue Devils before we even have a sneak peek.

We are pleased with the results of the reconnaissance...... The Vietnamese army had not yet come to occupy Hebian in a hurry, and the heights were empty.

So the troops carefully divided into three parts, and occupied the three high ground next to the road.

Since there was no time to measure the elevation of these three highlands, we artificially numbered them from one to three.

It should be said that these three highlands were well chosen.

The high ground where our second company is located is the No. 1 high ground, which directly faces Hebian and has a wide viewing angle, and you can see the movement of Hebian directly from the position on the top of the mountain, and it is precisely for this reason that we arranged several observation posts with walkie-talkies to observe the movements of the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain.

As the saying goes, knowing the other can not be defeated in a hundred battles, this trick was learned from the Yue devil.

The two companies of the 3rd Battalion were placed on Heights 2 across the road and on Heights 3 at the end. Heights No. 2 are the eighth companies commanded by Company Commander Xu, and Heights No. 3 are the ninth companies commanded by Battalion Commander Chen.

The three highlands are triangular in shape and enclose the middle highway, which bends between the three highlands like a long curled snake...... It is conceivable that once the Vietnamese army enters the encirclement of our army, it will be hit by fire from three sides.

Of course, because our army is short of ammunition, our lurking position is only a hundred meters away from the road. The purpose of this is to allow the limited number of bullets to be fired more accurately, and secondly, to be able to charge the enemy into hand-to-hand combat if necessary.

"Number one, please reply when you receive it!"

"Number one received, speak clearly, done!"

……

This is a call test of zuihou in various highlands, and then ...... All we have to do is wait...... (To be continued......)
