Chapter 168: Corpses

"Company commander! I'll go up and see what's going on! I said.

"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo nodded, and then quickly said, "Wait, I'll go see ...... too."

As he spoke, he casually recruited a communicator to follow behind with a walkie-talkie on his back, and at this time, Company Commander Luo's habit, in order to facilitate the command of the troops or contact with his superiors, was to follow the walkie-talkie wherever he went.

Company Commander Luo asked as he climbed up the 217 heights, "Do you think something is wrong?" I also feel empty, I just don't know what's wrong! ”

"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo, this is what is in my heart.

Soon we climbed the 217 heights, and along the way, the soldiers of the fourth company stopped their movements when they saw us coming up and threw their eyes at us. At first, I thought it was the light of Company Commander Luo, after all, Company Commander Luo is the supreme commander of our reinforcement force, and it is not too normal for the soldiers of the 447 regiment to recognize him.

Then I quickly learned that this was not the case...... Although I am only a platoon commander, my reputation here seems to be even more famous than that of Company Commander Luo.

"Company Commander Luo, Platoon Commander Yang!" Then a middle-aged cadre with a dark face walked up quickly, and he shook hands with us while introducing himself: "Company Commander Luo, Platoon Commander Yang...... I am Chen Chuncheng, the commander of the Fourth Company, you are here to check the situation, and welcome the two comrades to guide the work of our Fourth Company! ”

Listening to the words of the fourth company commander...... Somehow, I felt a little awkward.

Then I quickly thought about what the problem was:

One is that he called "Company Commander Luo" and "Platoon Commander Yang" together...... This Company Commander Luo is my top boss, isn't he? Didn't he just say hello to Company Commander Luo? What are you doing with me?

Second, he himself is also a company commander, and he is at the same level as Company Commander Luo, but he speaks in the tone of a subordinate to a superior...... For example, what is "guiding work".

Company Commander Luo also seemed to feel this. He shook Chen Chuncheng's hand slightly embarrassed: "Hello Company Commander Chen." We just came up and saw the enemy. Don't talk about mentoring, don't let us affect the fighters to fight! ”

"Company Commander Luo is too polite!" The fourth company commander said in a loud voice: "If Company Commander Luo and Platoon Commander Yang can introduce some combat experience to the soldiers, the soldiers are not in a hurry to thank them!" So be it...... I'll take my comrades to see the enemy situation first, if I have time...... Two comrades will help me teach my soldiers again! ”

Seeing that the fourth company commander insisted on making such a request, Company Commander Luo and I were embarrassed to say anything more about refusal.

"Platoon Commander Yang!" The commander of the fourth company quipped as he walked: "Maybe you don't know yet, those soldiers under my command...... Talking about you whenever I have time is about to lift you to the sky! It's not ...... Look at these bunnies......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers who were busy around him. said: "They still looked sick just now, but now they are in high spirits as soon as they see the two comrades coming up!" I didn't take me as a company commander seriously......"

Listening to the words of the fourth company commander, Company Commander Luo and I couldn't help crying and laughing, we really didn't expect that the fourth company commander would have the heart to joke on this battlefield.

But...... On the other hand, this also shows that the four company commanders are indifferent enough to the cruel battlefield in front of them, and it is no wonder that his regimental commander will arrange for him to be our substitute to defend this 217 height, and it is no wonder that he can repel several charges of the Yue devils.

A few men trotted along the trench all the way forward, and soon came to the top of the hill. The first is to smell a disgusting stench...... The wind in this area was blowing in the opposite direction, and we didn't feel much at the foot of the mountain, when we came up, the smell was a little unbearable.

I cautiously poked my head out to take a look, and I couldn't help but be startled by the image in front of me...... The slope was littered with corpses, layer upon layer. Almost all the positions were covered.

However, it does not seem surprising that there were already quite a few corpses on the slope by the time we disarmed. In addition, the four companies fought for most of the day...... Naturally, there are a lot of these corpses piled up here, but I'm just a little uncomfortable with them now.

But I still feel that something is wrong, and I can't say what is wrong.

At this time, there was a burst of gunfire at the foot ......of the mountain, but no one knew where the shot had hit.

I couldn't help frowning and asked Company Commander Chen: "Has the Yue devil always shot like this?" ”

"Like...... I've been playing harder since nightfall! Company Commander Chen nodded: "Maybe the Yue devils are deliberately harassing our army!" ”

I didn't reply, but my suspicion grew heavier and heavier.

First of all, if the Yue devils are harassing our army by shooting like this...... This is indeed possible, and the use of guns and cannons on the battlefield to make our army nervous and unable to rest is the usual method of the Yue devils. It's just that...... In the presence of flares in our army, this effect does not seem to be good.

Secondly, I can judge from the light and sound of the Vietnamese army's shooting...... It was hit by AK47, and it was still eight or nine hundred meters away from the position of our army...... Eight or nine hundred meters is a thought, I can't hit the sniper rifle in my hand, let alone those AK47s with a short range.

So I knew what the devil was hiding...... Just like last time they used the sound of artillery to hide the sound of the tank's tracks.

What does the devil want to hide?

The sound of the cannon is able to hide the sound of the tank's tracks, and that's because it is loud enough.

Then the sound of gunfire can be hidden, and there will definitely not be much movement...... That's people!

Thinking of this, I immediately focused my attention on the piles of corpses in front of me...... However, because of the dark moon and high wind, you can only see twenty or thirty meters away.

"Company Commander Chen!" I lowered my voice and said to the commander of the fourth company: "Shoot two flares and see!" ”

I suddenly lowered my voice and spoke, which surprised Chen and Luo, the two company commanders, you must know that although this is a front-line position, it is also a few hundred meters away from the Yue Devil...... And it's not a very secret thing to hit a flare, even if you let the Yue devil hear it, it's not a big deal, isn't it?

But doubts are doubts, and Company Commander Chen didn't ask any more questions, and immediately asked the correspondent to pass on the order.

Soon two flares rose into the sky, and as the snow-white light spread forward, the patches of corpses came into my sight...... There seems to be nothing abnormal, the battlefield is a mess, all kinds of dead bodies, all kinds of postures, each body is stained with red or black blood, like a hell on earth.

But...... Just when the flare was about to lose its light, I found two suspicious points:

First, the distribution of corpses is not very reasonable.

According to common sense, the corpses should be densely packed at the foot of the mountain, and the closer to the top of the mountain, the more sparse they become. The reason is very simple, the more devils rushed up from the foot of the mountain, didn't they? They were strafed by our fire all the way...... Of course, there are fewer and fewer Vietnamese troops who can rush close to the hilltop position.

However, the corpses on this slope are less at both ends and more in the middle.

Second, there are too many corpses with their backs facing up.

The Vietnamese were shot by our troops in the process of charging, and they were still diagonally upward...... Therefore, under the action of bullet inertia, there should be more front-facing corpses, but at a glance on this inclined plane, there are many corpses with the backside facing up, and they are all on the surface of the corpse.

Then I understood: this was another sneak attack by the Yue devils, using corpses as cover to lurk on the position.

Thinking of this, I raised my head at Commander Luo, turned my head and walked back along the trench without saying a word. 、

I did this because I was worried that some Vietnamese troops would be too close to hear us...... It would be a bit of a hassle if they knew that I had discovered the trick and attacked early.

"What's the situation?" The two company commanders Luo and Chen quickly followed, but it was Company Commander Chen who was even more anxious at this time, he looked at me with puzzled and anxious eyes and asked, "Platoon Commander Yang, did you find anything?" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "Fourth company commander, our troops have anti-chemical warfare soldiers, transfer two of them to spray fire......

"What do you mean......" Company Commander Chen's eyes were full of horror.

I nodded again: "If I'm not mistaken, there are at least two platoons of the Yue devils lurking in front of our army's position. These troops...... It was the Yue devil who pretended to be killed and lay on the ground when he charged, and he lay down a dozen alive at a charge, and dozens of them could lie down after a few charges...... Then they were slowly crawling forward under the cover of night and gunfire, and now they were afraid that they were not far from our position! ”

"Fuck it!" Hearing this, Platoon Commander Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "I just said when did this Yue devil become so easy to fight, it turns out that they are still lying down on purpose...... Without further ado, I'll immediately go to the anti-chemical warfare troops! ”

As he spoke, he walked to the walkie-talkie, and as he walked, he gave the order to prepare for battle.

"Then say so...... "Company Commander Luo said with a solemn expression, "Isn't this mountaintop position dangerous?" ”

Company Commander Luo's worries are reasonable, the Yue Devil's attack is in the build-up, and it is not something that two anti-chemical soldiers can deal with.

Some might say...... Those two anti-chemical warfare soldiers are not enough, so I will transfer a few more.

The attack power of the anti-chemical warfare troops is indeed strong, but as the saying goes, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the fuel canister carried by the anti-chemical warfare troops is itself a source of danger...... The more devils swept away the anti-aircraft machine guns, or fired a cannon up, the hilltop position would become a mountain of flames.

Coupled with the fact that the Vietnamese army would definitely be prepared for this charge, it would definitely provide fire cover for the Vietnamese troops lurking in the corpses, so there was no doubt about it...... What we are going to face will be a close fight with the Vietnamese army.

Fortunately, I saw through the tricks of the Vietnamese army in advance and was prepared, otherwise I really don't know what the result would be. (To be continued......)
