Chapter 150 Ammunition Truck

"Boom, boom......"

The scene when the ammunition truck exploded would never be seen once again.

It should be said that the fighters who drove the cars were also very careful, and for the safety of the ammunition, there was at least a few tens of meters between the cars. This is to avoid accidents with ammunition trucks...... For example, if a mine is crushed, a fire or explosion occurs, and other ammunition trucks.

However, if the ammunition truck was hit by an artillery shell, it would never have been avoided at an interval of several tens of meters, because if the ammunition truck was directly hit by the shell, it would have been ...... This will inevitably lead to the detonation of ammunition in the car......

The so-called martyrdom is the explosion of another explosive at a certain distance caused by the action of the detonation wave.

To use an analogy...... If the car is carrying mortar shells, even if the transport and launch insurance are not opened, it is in a safe state...... But it was hit by a shell that was too close to a mortar shell...... As a result, the mortar shells of the whole vehicle will be detonated by the detonation wave of this shell.

What's even more terrifying is ...... Many mortar shells will also be blown high and then detonated, which invisibly increases the radius of the power of the explosion.

So, as I and the fighters saw, the cars full of ammunition exploded like dominoes, one after another...... The explosion didn't stop until it wasn't far from us.

The reason why I stopped was because of the shot I fired earlier......

The shot knocked over one of the cars, but it was like a piece of dominoes, and the chain reaction was interrupted.

But the danger doesn't end there.

Just when the fighters just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. found that the car after it was not exploded because it was too far away. But it was ignited by a splash of fire. Suddenly, the front and body of the car ...... Everywhere there was a raging fire, and even the driver was lit and rushed out of the car......

The soldiers were dumbfounded, and the burning car stopped in front of us, and everyone knew what we were going to face if we went on like this.

Push the cart away?

Not to mention the fact that we had no way to push the car away before it exploded, because the car was on fire everywhere and we couldn't do it.

Fire suppression?

Those of us who have experience in the battlefield know that this fire will burn so brightly at once...... It was either gasoline or incendiary agent, and it was either gasoline or incendiary agent...... You can't put it out quickly.

So we seem to have only two options: one is to wait here for it to explode. The other is to flee the area before it explodes.

But let's be honest, there is nowhere to escape...... Because after the car explodes, it will soon cause a chain reaction of the subsequent ammunition trucks. No one can match this chain explosion at such a fast speed.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared in our team and ran to the cab, opened the door and got in...... This action couldn't help but make me and the other fighters stunned, the wheelhouse was already full of fires, and the soldiers could get into it like this?

At that moment, I think many people have the same question in their heads as I am: what is he doing here? Don't die?!!

There were even a few fast-moving fighters who immediately rushed forward to rescue him...... But when we heard the sound of the car starting, we understood that he was going to drive the car away......

This is indeed the only way to do it!

So we didn't stop him, and even the two fighters who rushed to the door stopped stopping them.

For us, the battlefield is a place where there is no room for the slightest coquettishness, when someone has the courage to sacrifice themselves to save everyone. We don't try to stop it like others do...... We have learned to cooperate as much as possible, and only in this way can his sacrifice be more meaningful.

The car started several times without success. So the soldiers consciously put their guns on their backs, and no longer cared about the fire on the car pushing hard against the rear of the car...... First one or two people, then a few more, and then a few more...... After a while, the area around the car was full.

The fire burned down the clothes and on them?

It doesn't matter, it's just a small fire, and it's not too late to put out the fire when the car is pushed.

This ammunition truck is going to explode soon?

It doesn't matter, anyway, if you get closer to it, you will die, and if you are farther away, you might as well give it a try, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope......

It should be said that people on the battlefield often have to face such a choice, but ...... I believe that while many people understand this, not many people choose to stand up when the real problem arises.

There are only two words that will make the fighters make this choice: courage!

Finally, thanks to the efforts of the warriors, the car started, and with a low roar, it rushed forward as fast as it could...... It smoked and lit fire, like a moving volcano, like an immortal monument, more like a monster defeated by the warriors, fleeing with wounds......

Then, ten seconds later, with a loud bang, the car turned into a flame right under our noses.

I had been hoping to see the brave warrior who had rushed into the cab to drive the car jump out of the car, but I was disappointed, and I didn't see him for a moment in Zuihou.

"What's his name?" I don't know when the regimental commander was already by our side, but he obviously saw the scene just now.

I couldn't help but be speechless, for though I knew he was one of my soldiers, I couldn't name him.

"His name is Yang Jianzhang!" Wu Zhijun replied on my behalf: "Yunnan Yongping people! ”

"Hmm!" The regimental commander nodded, silently remembering the name in his heart.

That's all we can do: remember the names of the martyrs.

Our army's offensive was blocked the next night, because the 120th Regiment, located on the right flank of our army, after capturing the 1663 heights, misjudged the terrain and mistakenly believed that it had reached the designated place - Bensiai when it entered the line of Jiguanghu......

After receiving this news, the 1st Battalion of our army thought that the right flank was safe, so it let go and continued to advance...... Unexpectedly, when entering the No. 4 bridge area, he was attacked by the Vietnamese army on both sides......

It may seem sudden, but at the same time it is inevitable.

If the defense line of the 316A Division had been so easy for our army to break through, or if our army had been so smoothly broken, then they would have been called the ace division of the Vietnamese army in vain.

But in fact, the situation on the battlefield was far more severe than I imagined, and it was not until Company Commander Luo called a meeting of us that I realized that the focus of the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army was not the front of our attack at all.

"Here's the thing!" Company Commander Luo pointed to the map and said: "Our army is based on the original Jihua with a battalion of troops through Longjiang, Banfo, Xiangxinzhai and Daping areas...... However, the road was attacked and shelled by the Vietnamese army many times, and before it could penetrate the designated position, it suffered heavy casualties, and Zuihou could only return in vain...... So our army once again interspersed with two battalions of troops with the cooperation of the 3rd tank battalion and the 7th company...... This time, although it was interspersed with the designated position, it was surrounded by the Vietnamese army and fell into a bitter battle......"

Hearing this, I seem to understand a little, no wonder the resistance of our army in the front of the Vietnamese army in Sabah is not strong, and even basically does not encounter the long-range fire of the Vietnamese army, and there are only sporadic or not powerful mortars. It turned out that the Vietnamese army simply focused its attack on our interspersed troops.

"The more devil is playing a game of Tianji horse racing!" Company Commander Luo sighed and said: "They knew that in a head-to-head confrontation, neither the strength nor the artillery firepower could match our army, so they came to avoid the heavy and light, and used a small number of troops to drag the main force of our army in the front, but laid heavy troops to deal with our army's interspersed troops......"

After a pause, Company Commander Luo frowned again and continued: "There are three advantages to this by the Yue devils, one is that it can hit our army, and the other is to ensure the logistics and supply of Sabah, and third, ...... The most important thing is that if our army is interspersed with troops and cannot hold the throat of the Vietnamese army, then the 316A Division can retreat at any time, and then our army is only afraid that it will look like a victory on the surface, but in fact it will be defeated! ”

Company Commander Luo's analysis is of course reasonable, just like the theory of our army's guerrilla warfare: "Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, concentrate on annihilating the enemy!" ”

However, this was originally a tactic used by our army, but now it has appeared on the Vietnamese army, and they are now concentrating on annihilating our army, regardless of the gains and losses of Sabah...... Therefore, as Company Commander Luo said, if the Vietnamese army 316A bites us so hard and then escapes, then our army will win the battle on the surface, but in fact it will lose the battle.

"So!" Company Commander Zuihou pointed to the map again and said, "What does the superior think...... It is not advisable for our army to deploy too many troops in front of Sapa, so we decided to let our company go along the line of Weilong Song and Pearl Forest to reinforce our interspersed troops, and cooperate with the interspersed troops to block the retreat of the Vietnamese army! Questions? ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, and asked with some doubts: "Weishenme doesn't let the reserves go up?" ”

The reserves were meant to deal with such contingencies, weren't they? Now is the time to use them.

Company Commander Luo smiled bitterly and replied, "The reserve team is already on board!" ”

I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to Comrade Yang Jianzhang, a cook of the 445th Regiment Communication Company.

When our army was attacking Sabah, the enemy's artillery concentrated artillery fire on a supply vehicle that was only 20 meters away from the regimental headquarters, seriously threatening the safety of the regimental command post and the four companies assembled in the vicinity. The Central Military Commission awarded martyr Yang Jianzhang the honorary title of "Communist Fighter with the Courage to Dedicate His Life". (To be continued......)
