Chapter 53: Retreat

Some might say...... Is it so important that this ammunition is not universal? Just change the gun after the bullet is fired!

This is easier said than done...... Is it true that everyone still carries two spears and ammunition for two guns on their backs? Otherwise...... Most of the AK47 bullets used on this battlefield are used by both sides of the battlefield, and the ammunition of the M16 can be said to be very rare...... Where do I go once I'm done?

But the more devil weishenme can be used?

You must know that the equipment of the US military once equipped hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese troops...... One shot per person means at least hundreds of thousands of M16s, not counting those stored in warehouses. As for the bullets...... In order to facilitate supply on the battlefield in Vietnam, the U.S. military directly established several arsenals in South Vietnam to produce bullets and shells...... Vietnam labor is cheap, isn't it? Local production without transportation is undoubtedly a very cost-effective business.

Of course, these things were left in South Vietnam when the U.S. troops withdrew...... Soon after, it fell into the hands of the Viet Cong. As a result, it is not a problem for the Vietnamese army to equip the M16.

As for the Vietnamese army, Weishenme is not equipped with American weapons in a large area, but is equipped with Soviet weapons...... That's because the Vietnamese devils at this time have the same smell as the Soviet Union...... The Soviet Union was an enemy of the United States, so Vietnam was naturally an enemy of the United States.

At the same time, this also means that there is no subsequent development and upgrade of the M16 in Vietnam...... So he could only slowly get old and old, and Zuihou withdrew from the stage of war. This is also the reason why the regular army in Vietnam is generally not equipped with American-style equipment, while the militia or ordinary people will carry American-style equipment in their hands.

Of course, the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army in front of us is an exception. Although they suffered defeat under our men one after another, they have even been captured by our army in large numbers now. But I still have to admit that their tactics are unique and quite effective.

One by one, the Vietnamese prisoners stripped naked and walked towards the foot of our mountain. What surprised me a little was this...... They also took a moment to search for the wounded and carry them to surrender to us before they came forward.

I thought to myself: This is the other Vietnamese army...... At this time, I am afraid that not only will they not surrender to us. Maybe they will all shoot at their comrades who are ready to surrender.

I was right, and as soon as I was in my mind, a fierce gunshot rang out...... The Vietnamese troops on the hilltop began to strafe, this time not at us, but at the Vietnamese prisoners who were walking towards us with their hands raised!

"Fire suppression!" I hurriedly yelled at the anti-aircraft machine gunner.

The anti-aircraft machine gun shooter also reacted quickly, and immediately pulled the trigger and fired a row of bullets at the 419 heights...... But it was too late, and the rows of bullets knocked down the unsuspecting Vietnamese prisoners like autumn winds sweeping away leaves, followed by a barrage of mortar shells...... It only caused the Vietnamese prisoners to scream and fly everywhere......

I only found out from Scar afterwards...... In the end, only a few people managed to escape into the defensive circle of our army, and these seven people crawled into the trenches of our army. And all of them are scolding with a handful of snot and tears...... Whoever is scolding this needs to say more, anyway, even the soldiers are a little unbearable to see the pitiful appearance.

"Second Company Commander! The commander of the second company ......, "When I was stunned by the fratricidal killing of the Vietnamese army, Company Commander Luo came from the walkie-talkie...... It should be said that it was the voice of Battalion Commander Luo: "Get ready to retreat!" Repeat...... Get ready to retreat! ”

"What? Fall back? When I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned: "Battalion commander...... This battle is well fought, how can haode retreat! ”

"You think everyone is like you Yang Xuefeng!" Battalion Commander Luo said angrily: "The entire defense line is winning the battle on one of your high grounds, and the other highlands were caught off guard because they suddenly encountered the American mechanic who was not familiar with its tactics...... Retreat when you are ready, the three battalions will organize a defensive line to meet you along Heights 281, and your goal is Heights 311...... Hurry up, if you don't retreat, you will be surrounded by devils! ”

"Hmm! It's ......" I couldn't help but respond helplessly, and then I knew another reason why the Yue Devil would invest in our part of the mechanic...... The different equipment and different tactics did make it a little difficult for us to get used to.

So I quickly gave the order to retake the position on the top of the mountain......

Maybe some people will think I'm mistaken...... Didn't you just receive an order to retreat? How can you still attack?

This is actually a habit on the battlefield, just like the old man said: "If you want to attack, you might as well make a small retreat, so that the devil will be caught off guard." If you want to retreat...... Then you have to attack first! weishenme? If you're going to just retreat...... Isn't the Yue devil chasing you all the way? Can you withdraw? ”

The old man's words were a bit dirty. But in fact, it is the ...... in the Art of War. What is it called: "There is a real in the virtual, there is a virtual in the real, and there is a lot of virtual and real ......"

In short, you don't have to think about it to know it...... The Yue devils occupy the hilltop position of the 419 heights. Our every move is under their watch, which means that if we want to retreat, we will have to take back the hilltop position.

So the offensive soon began...... Just as we could not hold the hilltop position, it was also difficult for the Vietnamese army to hold the hilltop position, even if the Vietnamese army had an advantage in artillery.

The first thing we had to do was to send another team of soldiers into the first line of trenches...... Saying that it was not difficult to do this, we dug several communication trenches between the various trenches in advance, and the soldiers could move to the place they wanted to go through the communication trenches.

After occupying the first trench, it meant that our grenades were enough to reach the hilltop position, so needless to say, grenades, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, etc., smashed and hit the hilltop position indiscriminately, and then launched another charge to knock the Vietnamese army down......

As soon as I took the hilltop position, I asked the soldiers to convey the order to retreat.

The reason why we don't use radio communication...... It's because I'm worried that the Yue Devil will listen to us, and you must know that the other orders are not important for the Yue Devil to hear, and this retreat order for them to hear it is not trivial.

Although the soldiers were surprised by my orders, they obeyed them without any doubt. So a company cheered...... In the smoke of Vietnamese artillery bombardment, the 419 heights were withdrawn along the communication trenches.

Of course, we had to blow up some ammunition, equipment, and fortifications that we couldn't take with us, such as the twin anti-aircraft machine guns...... This really made Xiao Shanzi, the commander of the cannon platoon, feel distressed. But again, there is no way around it...... Otherwise, when we come back again, this thing will most likely become a sharp weapon for the Vietnamese army against us.

At this time, the retaliatory artillery bombardment of our positions by the Vietnamese army became a cover for our retreat, so a company withdrew without any danger...... We veterans don't feel anything, it's just those new recruits...... All of them were full of happiness, and occasionally some people looked back at the 419 heights behind them that were still being shelled by the Vietnamese army, and they didn't know whether they had palpitations or missed their comrades who fell on it forever, and the expressions on their faces were strangely complicated.

After only ten minutes of running along the road, we ran into the soldiers of the second battalion, and after exchanging orders with each other, they quickly let us pass...... As soon as they passed through the defense line of our army, the recruits could no longer hold on, and several of them collapsed on the ground on the spot.

"Hurry up! Get up for me! "The performance of the recruits made Scar and the platoon commanders of the scholars anxious to yell at them, and me? He hurried away with a few communications soldiers on his own.

That's the benefit of being a company commander! The soldiers under his command have their own platoon commanders in charge...... I just have to keep an eye on the platoon commander.

"Report to the second company commander!" We hadn't gone far before we were stopped by a communications soldier: "The order of the superiors, the second company rests in place, and the second company commander follows me to the battalion headquarters!" ”

"Wow!" As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they all sat down on the ground, even the veterans.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart: "it!" I didn't even give any orders...... Is there still me as a company commander in my eyes! ”

Follow the correspondent all the way to the battalion headquarters...... I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good: this was a pretense to let us drive towards Heights 311, and then stopped us on the way, and then told me to go to a meeting...... It's obvious that there's a secret mission! There must be another fierce battle to be fought!

Sure enough, as I expected, when I followed the correspondent to the battalion headquarters, I was surprised to see that Regiment Commander Liu was also there......

"Regiment commander, battalion commander!" I saluted Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Luo.

"Hmm!" Head Liu nodded at me and said with a smile: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng...... First of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the commander of the second company. I just heard about it...... As soon as you became a company commander, you fought a few beautiful victories and captured a few Yue devil prisoners...... It seems that you are comfortable as this company commander! ”

"The head of the regiment has won the award!" I was a little embarrassed to be praised by the head of the regiment.

"Here's the thing!" As soon as the regiment commander changed his words, he pointed to the map on the table and said, "Although I have made preparations, I didn't expect that the Yue Devil would use a division and an American mechanic to attack the defense line where our regiment is stationed...... We hung the fish a little big this time! ”

"Didn't the superiors send reinforcements?" I'm a little confused, the battle is like this...... It stands to reason that the higher-ups will send reinforcements no matter what.

"The Vietnamese army is fully prepared for this attack!" Battalion Commander Luo explained: "They launched an attack almost simultaneously on our army's 500-kilometer-long defensive line, and most of our army's troops were basically pulled back to various military regions for reorganization, which made our army seriously insufficient...... Just make up for the above one of the new barracks, all of which were forced out by the superiors! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart...... Without reinforcements, this battle would be a difficult battle! (To be continued......)
