Chapter 50: Zheyin Mountain (15)

This time, our army is again in a considerable passivity.

Originally, the two flanks and the north were not the main direction of attack of the Vietnamese army, and we did not ask for much artillery fire on these sides before, but now the Vietnamese army suddenly turned its forces to the two flanks, and our artillery did not know about this situation, so the Vietnamese army took advantage of a loophole.

However, this is still much better for our army than the previous all-out attack by the Vietnamese army in the south, because the mountains are steeper in the north and on both flanks, and it is not easy for the Vietnamese army to deploy troops to launch an effective attack, and on the other hand, because the Vietnamese army has fortifications facing the north and both flanks on the hilltop position, which is of course for our use at this time.

I don't know how many times I repelled the back and forth charges of the Yue devils, so I took advantage of the gap between battles to gather the cadres for a short meeting.

"How's the casualty?" I asked.

"Twenty-one casualties." Scar replied, "Of those, nine were killed, twelve were seriously wounded, and the rest were lightly wounded. ”

"Hmm." I couldn't help but frown.

Although the casualties of 21 people are not much, they are also the largest casualties of our composite battalion since its formation. From this point of view, the plan we formulated earlier can be said to have failed, and its defeat is due to the fact that the information we have is still not detailed enough, and we do not know that the Vietnamese army has been equipped with anti-aircraft missiles.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Chen Yiyi.

Of course, Chen Yiyi knew what I meant, so she replied with a red face: "Blame me for this...... I've actually seen the Yue devils fiddling with that thing, but I didn't know it was an anti-aircraft missile, and I thought it was for anti-tank. ”

In fact, she can't be blamed for this, you must know that Vietnam is after the withdrawal of US troops. The use of anti-aircraft missiles is simply not possible and necessary. So these missiles have been mothballed and not taken out for use. Even when the Sino-Vietnamese War broke out in 79, the air forces of both sides did not participate in the war, so I took it for granted that it was an anti-tank missile.

If it's really weird, then Chen Yiyi should also inquire when he sees this thing, but the problem is that Chen Yiyi and the others are bent on reconnoitring the terrain and opening up a rope landing point, so it is normal for this kind of negligence to occur.

"No one is to blame for this." I said: "But we miscalculated the preparations of the Vietnamese army, and now is not the time to hold accountable, now should we think about how to complete the task?!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but be stunned.

"Battalion commander!" There was silence for a while. Scar asked, "What you mean by 'completing the mission'...... Did you say that the Yue Devil Command was destroyed? ”

"What's not this?" I asked angrily.

"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing looked at me with some incredulity and said, "This situation is ...... It's not bad to be able to withstand the attack of the Yue devils and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and you still have to complete the task?! ”

"The question is, can you hold out until reinforcements come?" I asked rhetorically, "How long can our ammunition last if we continue to fight like this?" How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive? ”

When I asked the cadres like this, there was no voice.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that under the wave of attacks of the Vietnamese army, by this time we have little ammunition left, and this is still the case that the soldiers pay attention to saving ammunition and using the ammunition of the Yue Devils, which makes us even sometimes deliberately put the Yue Devils a little higher, so that they can send the ammunition closer to the place.

But then again, this more devil also has experience, and the soldiers they rushed up did not bring much ammunition, and when they retreated, they didn't move the corpses or anything, they just tried to clean up the ammunition before retreating.

It's obvious. They're doing this so that we run out of ammunition.

In modern warfare, no matter how good a troop is or how accurate its marksmanship is. Without ammunition, it is also "difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice", and in the end, she can only face the end of being surrounded and annihilated by the Vietnamese army.

"The battalion commander is right!" After thinking about it, Scar made up his mind and said, "The battle of Zheyin Mountain...... Our army's strategy is to paralyze its chain of command so that all parts of the Vietnamese army cannot work together to fight independently, and all the attacks of the 51st Division are based on this basis, if we do not complete the task, it is very likely that the 51st Division will inflict heavy casualties, and in the end, this morale-boosting battle of the Vietnamese army will become a crushing victory. On the other hand, since we are already besieged by the Yue devils and it is difficult to have a chance to wait for reinforcements, we simply let go out and complete the mission to avoid a large number of casualties in the large army. ”

"Yes, that's it!"

"No problem."

"We listen to the battalion commander and the company commander!"

……

All the cadres expressed their determination one after another.

I just smiled, most of what Scar said just now was correct, but he didn't think of one thing: since this battle was to boost morale and intimidate the devils, then wouldn't the casualties of the synthetic battalion be casualties? If the synthetic battalion is annihilated, it will not have an impact on this strategy?

It can even be said that even if we finally win the battle with the synthetic battalion, the Vietnamese army may still cheer...... For them, if they lost Zheyin Mountain, they could get it back, and the fact that the agents of the synthetic battalion were completely wiped out was what they had always dreamed of.

Therefore, it is impossible for me to accompany the company of agents to destroy the headquarters of the Vietnamese army.

"I want the best of both worlds." I said, "That is, not only to destroy the Vietnamese army headquarters, but also to take us alive to win this victory." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned again.

"That's a good feeling!" However, Liang Lianbing was straightforward: "If you can beat the devil alive, no one wants to be glorious, right?" ”

Don't look at Liang Lianbing's words, but the truth is not ambiguous at all...... If this can be lived, who will be afraid of longevity?!

"Here's what I think!" Because of the urgency of time, I will no longer play dumb riddles: "Staying on the top of the hill and not holding on to the arrival of reinforcements does not mean that we will not be able to hold out at that time when we are in the headquarters of the Vietnamese army." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but suddenly realize.

"What the battalion commander means...... Take the command of the Vietnamese army? Scar asked.

"It's not just Command." I said, "We're going to take a dozen bunker fortifications around the headquarters and then use them for defense." You think, we don't have ammunition, will there be no ammunition in the bunkers of the Vietnamese army? Could it be that there is not a little ammunition in the tunnel where the headquarters of the Vietnamese army is located? Once we can take these fortifications, then it is time to put on armor for ourselves, and it will be difficult for the devils to attack us. ”

"Battalion commander!" Scar said, "It's a good idea, but it means that we need to save the ammunition in the bunker fortifications, and it's hard to guarantee that the ammunition won't be killed or detonated by the Yue devils." ”

"That's why we have to move fast!" I said: "I think so, although the fighting on our side has aroused the alarm of the Vietnamese army headquarters, they are afraid that they never dreamed that we were going to attack from the top to the headquarters, and they still focused all their attention on the front." On the other hand, at this time, they must have thought that our army had been surrounded by Vietnamese troops at the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to attack the headquarters, coupled with the frequent movement of troops around, if a few people suddenly appeared near the pillbox at this time and told them to open the door in Vietnamese...... What do you think will happen? ”

The cadres couldn't help but let out an "oh", and then they all became excited:

"Most of those devils will open the door, we can pretend to be sending ammunition!"

"You can also pretend to be here to convey orders!"

"It's okay if you don't open the door, let's talk to them while we put explosives in the door, and when we blow the door open, they'll be finished!"

"The more devils definitely didn't expect them to face the bunkers they had worked so hard to build, and they would be good-looking at that time!"

……

"But ......" Chen Yiyi, who had not spoken, asked: "We can use the method of rope descent to make the bunker unable to function, and the same can be done by the more devils." ”

That's to the point, and there's a good chance we'll blow up the bunker in the process...... At that time, it would be easier for the Vietnamese army to attack the pillboxes.

But that's what I thought about too.

"First of all." I said, "Our rappelling was carried out without the precautions of the Yue devils, and we will be prepared when we parachute and take the pillbox and headquarters." The second is that the Yue devils are not prepared, I don't think they usually prepare so many ropes more than a hundred meters long......"

Speaking of this, I set my eyes on Chen Yiyi, and Chen Yiyi nodded in affirmation of what I said.

The poorer the devil is, the poorer the person is to a certain extent, the less willing to do things that seem unnecessary or that they think can be done by manpower, such as ropes...... If this thing is put on the mountain, it will rot in less than half a month in this humid environment. In addition, they have a kind of self-confidence, mountain warfare is what they are good at, and many people in the Vietnamese army can climb up and down even cliffs with their bare hands, which our agent company can also do, but the problem is that to reach the goal quickly, it is necessary to rappel.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army now has no rope for them to rappel, and this is a high ground at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters...... In the absence of a helicopter, you will want to rope for a while, and you really can't get it.

"But...... What about our ropes? Liang Lianbing asked another question: "After we slide down, someone has to cut the rope on it or something, otherwise won't the Yue devils take advantage of it?" ”

"Then leave a few people on top!" Scar replied.

I believe that the Secret Service Company can do this, and there has never been a shortage of such soldiers who dare to sacrifice in the Secret Service Company, but this matter does not require the cost of life.

"It's easy to do!" I said, "The last one to go down, remember to tie a time bomb to the middle of the rope!" ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Scar nodded and grinned at me, as if to say that the battalion commander still had a way. (To be continued......)
