Chapter 21: The Tunnel
Chapter 21 Authentic
"Hit!" With Company Commander Luo's order, the battle began.
So the machine guns and submachine guns swept towards the Vietnamese troops under the slope, and the grenades were thrown one after another......
The battle was one-sided from the beginning, and the vast majority of the Vietnamese army were unprepared and were caught off guard by us, and if there was resistance, it was a few officers who were hiding in the tunnels to rest, and they were holding guns because they were not working...... It is said that the officers of the Vietnamese devils are different from those of our army, and our army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, while the hierarchical concept of Vietnamese officers is quite serious.
In addition, the Vietnamese officers did have two strikes in terms of military quality, and when they realized that they were being attacked, they immediately dispersed and raised their guns to counterattack at the hilltop position where we were located.
It's a pity that ...... The successive explosions of burning on the Vietnamese positions will not only bring great confusion and casualties to the Vietnamese troops, but will also expose them to the flames very clearly.
Thereupon...... I easily knocked down the officers who were still able to resist one by one, and I didn't even change the sniper position in the whole process.
The rest of the time is when I throw a grenade...... I'll admit that I was throwing it around, because the flaring of the incendiary bomb was so bright that it was hard for me to see relatively closely. Maybe that's what goes dark under the lights......
One of the reasons why I threw them out was because the logistics were quite secure at this time, and cheap things like grenades were being transported to the front line in truckloads at the rear. So don't fight for nothing, don't fight. If you keep it, you have to take it back with you. The other is because of ...... The safety cover is open. The rain will go in more or less, and it won't be able to hit until the next time. This is undoubtedly very taboo on the battlefield, in case there is an unexpected situation and the grenade does not go off, it is very likely to cause death.
So with this mentality, I threw out the haode grenades prepared in front of me one after another...... Anyway, my grenade throwing level is really not very good, in fact, it's no wonder that I'm good at sniping...... Therefore, in order to give full play to the advantage of the long range of sniper rifles, they are generally fighting at a long distance. So there's never been much interest in melee combat things like grenades.
So I didn't think at all what these grenades could do...... But then something unexpected happened to me, with the explosion of these grenades...... I only felt the dirt in front of me "clattering" and falling, like dominoes, extending a long distance from the Vietnamese army's position.
Later, I learned that this was an authentic passage for the Yue devils...... In fact, the devils have always wanted to break the law that this mountaintop position belongs to us during the day and belongs to them at night, and they want this mountaintop position to be in their hands whether it is day or night. It's just that our army has built fortifications on the anticline one step ahead, and they can't defend it at all......
So they came up with a way, opened an opening out of our line of sight, and dug a tunnel to the top of the mountain...... You know, if this tunnel is completed one day, then they can pretend to launch a feint attack on our army's hilltop position. On the other side, a force was sent from the tunnel to the top of the hill to launch a surprise attack...... As a result, not only can we successfully capture the position on the top of the mountain, but we can also make our troops suffer heavy casualties.
The rest of the story can be imagined...... Though we have built a complete fortification. However, because the hilltop position was completely controlled by the Vietnamese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties...... Then it was only a matter of time before this 581 Heights fell into their hands.
Obviously, this tunnel of theirs was about to be dug to the top of the hill, but because the Vietnamese army did not reinforce the surrounding soil layer like we did for the sake of speed...... But then again, they can't do it, can they? The secret path is to be secret, if they toss around, it will be three hundred taels of silver here.
So my grenades happened to be thrown near this dark tunnel, and when they exploded...... most of them collapsed.
Later, I thought about it, I really had a bit of luck with this bombing, otherwise I am afraid that the consequences of our second company would be unimaginable. At the same time, I also realized that the devils are not as easy to deal with as we think.
"Retreat! Fall back! Company Commander Luo shouted twice and then blew the whistle.
So the soldiers ran back like crazy, ran to the mouth of the pit and plunged into it......
Some might say...... Aren't we winning the battle? The more devils let us fight without any power to fight back, weishenme doesn't take advantage of the victory to chase them out in one go?
You know, this war is no joke.
First of all, in such a battlefield with poor visibility and muddy water everywhere, it is basically impossible to completely wipe out the Vietnamese army...... A row of bullets passed and a large number of devils fell, do you know which ones are real death or fake death? As expected, at least a third of the Vietnamese troops on the slope were lying motionless in the mud waiting for us to go up. If we rush forward and chase after the victory...... I'm afraid it will soon develop into a scuffle.
So take a bite and run, so that the more devils have no place to vent, that is the best policy.
And secondly, because of the artillery. Our army has artillery, and the Vietnamese army also has artillery...... And because both of us have the opportunity to occupy the hilltop position, both sides have enough knowledge of the other's terrain, in other words...... That is, our artillery can control the hilltop position, and even mortars can control some parts of the anticline.
This is also the reason why neither the enemy nor the enemy nor we dare to put too many soldiers on the hilltop position, and put a large number of soldiers on it...... The enemy only needs one cannon shot to be solved. Therefore, although this hilltop position is a battleground for soldiers, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Just like this time, when we pulled our troops up to the top of the hill, it was also a surprise sneak attack, and we had to fight and withdraw quickly...... If you stay for a long time, you will inevitably be shelled by the Vietnamese army.
Sure enough, as soon as we got into the pit with our front feet, there was a burst of shelling outside. At this time, the soldiers were already hiding in the tunnel, laughing......
"Second Platoon Leader!" Company Commander Luo moved over to me and asked, "You seem to have blown up something just now......
"Hmm!" I nodded and said, "That's a long thing...... Let's say it's a tunnel...... It's not like it, the tunnel is not so unsolid, a few grenades will blow up, and then you can't hide from people at all! ”
"That's the tunnel!" Scar replied, "I saw it too...... This is a common trick used by the devils, because as long as the person passes, it will become, and sometimes for the sake of speed, it will not be firmly guarded! ”
"Oh, and the ......," Scar said, and the warriors came up one by one with great interest and asked:
"What is the devil doing in this tunnel?"
"It's against us, right?"
……
"What's the use!" Scar smiled: "Not necessarily, sometimes it's a troop transporter, sometimes it's a ...... If only they had enough explosives...... It will be buried with explosives under the hilltop position, and then there will be a bang......"
As soon as the soldiers heard this, you stared at me, stared at you, and were speechless for a long time.
Even I was stunned, huh...... If this tunnel is dug under the hilltop position, then the Vietnamese army will take a little time to bring up a large pile of explosives...... Just wait to draw us up to the top of the hill and then put the fuse a little bit......
The bayonet couldn't help but scold: "This shit, we almost didn't even know what was going on!" ”
Company Commander Luo patted me on the shoulder and smiled: "You kid is really a fucking lucky general, the more devils work hard to manage the tunnel, you can blow up ......"
All right! I really didn't mean to.
However, there may be a second time if there is a first time, which is also a reminder to us, and we really have to be careful about the devil doing such tricks in the future.
"Count the casualties of each unit!" After the cannon sound of the Yue devil stopped, Company Commander Luo gave an order into the walkie-talkie.
So after a while of busy work with the communication rope and the walkie-talkie, the casualties were finally summed up.
Company Commander Luo seemed to be in a good mood, looked at the notebook in his hand with a flashlight and said with a smile: "Comrades! None of us died in this battle, but unfortunately two of us were injured......"
"Hmm, two more injured?" The soldiers couldn't help but be surprised when they heard this, just now we can say that we were fighting fast and retreating, almost before the Vietnamese army reacted, we withdrew to the tunnel, so it is really strange that there will be two people injured.
"What about these two injured people...... "Company Commander Luo smiled and uncovered the mystery: "It's because they ran too fast when they retreated...... One fell and one sprained! ”
There was a coax, and the pit was immediately filled with laughter.
"Comrades!" Company Commander Luo continued: "This battle is well fought! Although we don't know how many Vietnamese soldiers were killed or wounded, at least we let them understand that we will not build fortifications under our noses with confidence. More important ...... And thanks to our artillery comrades...... Their cannons were fired quickly and accurately, and they burned a large part of the Yue Devil's forest in one fell swoop! ”
"Good!" The fighters let out a burst of cheers.
Actually, that's my main purpose...... The incendiary bomb will burn anywhere, and now that the rainy season has just begun, the trees have not been infiltrated by the rain, so the incendiary bomb will not burn out in a dozen pieces, but unfortunately...... Because the rain and the fire can't be extended, otherwise the more devils are afraid that they will have to go to other highlands to transport wood to build tunnels. (To be continued......)
