Chapter 136: Rescue (6)

At this time, the scene seems to be a little awkward, because I am now holding a dead man and putting it down, not continuing to hold it.

Put it down, that would mean that the other Argentine soldiers would soon find out.

Keep holding it...... It doesn't seem to be a solution, because after a long time, Ah Jun around him will also notice the abnormality.

Sure enough, just as I thought, another Ah Jun who was smoking was already throwing a puzzled look at us at this time, and then just like a companion next to him, he glanced at us and walked towards us with a gun.

At this time, I couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing that there were still seven or eight minutes before we started.

Seven or eight minutes was not a long time, but we were faced with a defensive line built by the Afghan army with sandbags, and a few machine guns erected on it were enough to destroy us in seven or eight minutes. What's more, even if we can successfully break through this line of defense, we are afraid that we, with only two platoons in total, will not be able to take Wireless Ridge, even if we have the cooperation of SAS in the front.

Afterwards, according to Major Will and others, at this time, they always thought that I would have to give the order in advance, after all, we have no other choice at this time, it is better to take the lead in the first move.

But I didn't move, but still muttered something to the "Ah Jun" in my arms that even I didn't know what I meant.

No one knew what I was waiting for, not even myself.

But that's how it happened......

Just as the two sentries got closer and closer, and the suspicion on their faces became heavier, an explosion suddenly sounded on the other side of the Wireless Ridge.

I later learned that it was a SAS team member who accidentally stepped on a landmine.

According to the plan. When our team was marching in the direction of Wireless Ridge, SAS should also take advantage of the darkness to sneak into Wireless Ridge and arrive at the designated location at the designated time to lurk.

Of course, SAS is much more difficult to get into than we are. The most difficult thing is that they have to do it without the enemy noticing. This meant that they had to be very careful to avoid mines, traps, and silently eliminate all the sentinels along the way.

But fortunately, the Argentines are not very tightly arranged...... The Argentine army is not a devil, the devil is a devil who has experienced decades of wars against France, Japan, and the United States, and all of them can be said to be veterans of the battlefield. But it was the first time that the Argentine army had been on such a regular battlefield, so they set up posts, laid mines, and so on, even during the day.

I can understand this, considering that it is a vast snowy field, and the Argentines are not very familiar with the terrain of Tsushima, so if they are laying mines or setting up outposts at night. There is a high probability that there will be incidents of sentries stepping on mines by mistake.

Of course, this is a bit strange for those of us who are veterans of the battlefield, because we think that even if there is such a risk, it is worth it.

The reason is simple. If mines and posts are laid during the day, it means that the location of these mines and the location of the posts can easily fall into the eyes of the enemy. In other words, it has the potential to create a greater danger.

This is the case now, because we had already made a plan and communicated with SAS in the early morning, so SAS immediately sent scouts with high-powered binoculars to observe the location of mines and light and dark posts in the direction of Wireless Ridge and marked them on the map in detail.

With this map, it's much easier. Although SAS is also not very familiar with the terrain. Moreover, it was still a dark operation, but they could have used the map to make a march route in advance and assign tasks in a planned and step-by-step manner, and these tasks even included the division of labor to uproot the light and dark posts.

So SAS arrived at the front of Wireless Ridge smoothly and lurked at the designated location.

But it's one thing to lurk on the front line, and ten minutes before the battle, the SAS must advance to a position of 500 meters from the hilltop position.

The purpose is obvious, that is, we hope that SAS will launch an attack on Wireless Ridge at the same time as us and take Wireless Ridge in the shortest possible time.

That's when something went wrong with SAS...... One of the team members inadvertently stepped on a landmine.

It is said that at this time, the commander of the SAS, Major Hill, immediately broke out in a cold sweat, because this directly led to the discovery of our strategic intentions by the Afghan army in advance, and forced us to attack in advance.

What Major Hill didn't know was that this was the solution to the problem of coordination between our two sides.

Because if it weren't for this accidentally detonated mine, then we would probably have been discovered by the Afghan army at this time. And the SAS troops on the other side may not understand what the other side is and dare not act rashly.

The first to react was the Afghan army on the hilltop position, and with a few shouts, a burst of gunfire soon rang out.

So the Agen around us immediately became nervous. Even the Ah Jun, who had come up to check on us, threw their suspicions of us out of the clouds, put away their guns and ran in the direction of the phone booth.

I waved quietly at the warriors behind me, and then rushed to the high ground with my gun on my waist as I had planned.

At this time, the Afghan troops on the defensive line still had any suspicions about us, and they always thought that we had "verified our identity" through the inspection of the sentinels, so they did not stop us at all. There was even an officer who was constantly urging us to speed up our passage.

"Boom ......" When we climbed the wireless ridge, bursts of explosions sounded on the hilltop position.

It was a mortar from Lieutenant Colonel Barker, providing us with fire cover and signaling a general attack.

So, without thinking about it, I shouted "Do it!" to the soldiers behind me! "Be the first to go into the crowd.

Truth be told, this battle wasn't easy.

This is not to say that it is not easy to defeat the enemy, in fact, at this time, the Afghan army can be said to have no guard against us at all, and they have no combat experience at all and cannot imagine that there will be an enemy mixed with their own people.

Even more deadly, the gunfire, artillery and darkness of the night on the battlefield obscured all our movements. That is, when we easily eliminated the Argentine soldiers one by one, the comrades next to him didn't even know what was going on.

They are too slow to react...... If the Vietnamese army or the Chinese army were to encounter such a situation, they would immediately realize that it was the enemy infiltrating their own troops and immediately react.

But the Argentine soldiers can't be blamed, because they may not have even heard of this tactic at this time.

The reason why it is said that this battle was not easy...... It's because I'm a little unbearable to fight, these Argentine soldiers don't have any resistance at all, waiting for us to point our guns at them, and even some Argentines still look at us with puzzled faces when they find out that we are shooting at "our own people", I believe they want to explain something, such as being their own people or asking us how to shoot at our own people, etc.

But these words were never had a chance to be spoken, because our guns were quickly aimed at them and pulled the trigger......

This reminds me of the scene in the popular science book where the hunter catches the ostrich...... When frightened, the ostrich buries its head in the sand, so the hunter simply walks forward and catches it.

At this time, the Argentine soldiers were like ostriches who were around them without knowing the danger, and we were the hunters, except that we did not come forward to catch them, but killed them one by one.

I wasn't going to be relentless about killing a fierce enemy, because I knew then that if I didn't kill him, I would be the one who died, so I had to.

To put it simply, I don't feel much guilt about killing vicious enemies.

But it's a different story altogether for these Argentines who seem to be defenseless, because when you look at their bewildered and innocent faces and don't understand what is going on until you die, it becomes difficult every time you turn your gun at them and pull the trigger.

If I could, I would even want to tell them what was going on and then kill them, at least they know how they died.

As you can imagine...... Even a battle-hardened veteran like me would have thought so, let alone the British who had never been to the battlefield.

According to Tom after the war, "I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be like this...... At that moment I felt like an executioner, but on the other hand, I had to keep telling myself that this was war and that I had to complete the mission. I wished this damn war would stop right now! ”

In fact, Tom was still more ruthless, and many British soldiers later couldn't stand it anymore and switched to shooting to stun their opponents with the butt of their guns.

But it would be unwise to do so.

On the one hand, these FN rifles we are equipped with have a folding stock, which is convenient to carry in a helicopter, but this kind of butt is obviously not suitable for smashing people.

On the other hand, it is because the amount of body and time required to smash with the butt of a gun is completely disproportionate to the number of rounds that are fired by pulling the trigger.

Finally, smashing with the butt of a gun is not always effective in stuning the target, even in the case of a preemptive strike.

So we lost five British soldiers in this battle...... We can't tell how they died from the corpses, but I think most of them were cowardly or unable to pull the trigger in the face of their targets because of their soft hands.

"Battalion commander!" Just as I was mechanically firing at the Argentine soldiers again and again amid the sound of gunfire, the voice of the Liang Company was heard over the walkie-talkie: "The attack on the rough diamond heights has been blocked, and we are blocked by the enemy at the bottom of the mountain!" ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, this is not good! (To be continued......)
