Chapter 50

The rest ended that night, and it was said that the two-day rest was not only during the break, but also the time before and after the break.

What I didn't know was that our recuperation was supposed to take place until the early hours of the next morning, but because of the tight fighting at the front, we had no choice but to pull our troops up in advance.

"Company commander!" On the way to the march, I ran a few steps to catch up with Company Commander Luo and asked, "What is the mission tonight?" ”

I used to be a small soldier and didn't care about anything, but now I'm a platoon commander with more than 30 soldiers under me, so I feel like I should know a little bit about the situation.

"Scouting!" Lian Commander Luo simply replied with two words.

"Scouting?" As soon as Company Commander Luo said this, I had an opinion: "Company Commander, is it too dangerous to reconnoiter at night?" What is our route? How's the hostile situation? In case I encounter a Yue devil agent and pretend to be our PLA, how to identify ......"

"Alas! Why do you ask so much? Go your way! Company Commander Luo didn't answer anything, it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

I found out afterwards that in fact, these questions were also raised by Company Commander Luo at the combat meeting, but no one answered, only the battalion commander said: "As far as you Luo Xianwen talk a lot, asking you to be a reconnaissance company is to let you feel the situation while fighting!" ”

The arrangement of the superiors actually makes sense, why...... As I said before, the management of the personnel of the unit is not strict, and the soldiers who have fallen behind in other units can simply report their numbers and names and join the team to fight. Naturally, many Vietnamese agents who could speak Chinese would be inserted into our army......

Therefore, at this time, if the marching route and strategic objectives are told to the grassroots troops too early, it is actually telling the Vietnamese army.

So we were faced with a very strange battle, we didn't know the enemy's subordinates, we didn't know whether our neighbors were friends or foes, and we didn't even know what we were going to do...... All we know is that the order is four words: Forward!

I didn't like this kind of untruthful feeling, so I took out a map that had just been sent to my hand from my backpack and called Chen Yiyi over.

The two men found a place to hide under a tree on the side of the road, and then flashlights covered with black cloth.

The purpose of this was to prevent the light of the flashlight from exposing the entire unit or exposing oneself to the guns of Vietnamese snipers.

Fighting in a hellish place like Vietnam, the slightest negligence may cost you your old life.

"Look for it!" By the faint light of the flashlight, I said to Chen Yiyi: "Where are we now, and what is the place in front of us......

Chen Yiyi didn't understand it for a long time, and at first I thought she couldn't read the map, until she frowned and said, "This map is wrong, right...... This road is obviously leading to Sabah, how could it be painted to Meng Kang...... And here, this should be the Red River, and this mountain doesn't have ......"

"Hmm!" Only then did I remember what the old man said: "When our troops entered Vietnam, the maps they used were all drawn during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, and they were old more than ten years ago, and they were seriously distorted, and many troops could not find the ......."

Damn it, isn't this map the same as if it wasn't?

I don't know anything, how can this battle be fought?

All of a sudden, I had the feeling of a blind man riding a blind horse.

But the battlefield is often like this, it's not that I can't fight if I can't fight, the orders from the higher authorities are there...... Even if we don't want to, we have to move on.

"Platoon commander!" After walking in the dark for more than half an hour, Chen Yiyi rushed up and reminded: "There is a checkpoint ahead, the Vietnamese call it the Ghost Gate Pass, the highway passes through the middle of the highlands, and the grass and trees are very suitable for ambushes, you see...... Do you want to send someone to scout! ”

I immediately reported the situation to Company Commander Luo, who immediately ordered the troops to stop. After learning about the general terrain, several platoon commanders were called for a short meeting. It was decided that two platoons would follow the ridges on both sides of the road, with one platoon walking along the road and one squad in front.

This decision is of course correct, if the main forces are dispersed to the left and right, once there is an ambush in front of us, our army will undoubtedly directly threaten the two flanks of the enemy.

But just as we were about to press Jihua forward, the communicator hurriedly ran up: "Company commander, regiment headquarters phone!" It's the chief of staff......"

"Where are you going?" What was in the microphone was a burst of questioning.

Company Commander Luo searched for a long time on the map before he vaguely said the location. In fact, Company Commander Luo is not sure whether he is accurate or not, because the map itself is not accurate......

"What are you doing!" The voice on the phone was full of anger: "It took more than two hours to walk five kilometers? Speed me up now! ”

Listening to this, I can't help but cry out for the company commander, and at the same time for ourselves, some cadres know that they use a ruler to measure in the office, not to mention that the map is not accurate, and the distance measured with a ruler is also a straight-line distance...... Let him try to come to Vietnam by himself and walk around in the dark on the road?

"Chief of Staff......" Company Commander Luo was a little anxious: "We estimate that there is an enemy ambush in front of us, and we plan to reconnoiter the advancing ......."

"Less nonsense!" The microphone interrupted the company commander's words and said, "Gather the troops for me immediately and run forward!" ”

"Yes!" Company Commander Luo replied helplessly and hung up the phone.

I was stunned for a long time before I muttered: "It's so dark...... Gather the troops and run forward, isn't this a rush? ”

But the military orders are like a mountain, and we don't know what arrangements the superiors have, and we don't know if we don't carry out the orders, whether it will disrupt the overall situation of the superiors, so we have to carry them out.

Perhaps, it was because the superiors knew that there was no danger ahead, so they ordered us to gather our troops and run forward.

That's all we can do to comfort ourselves.

As I grabbed my gun and followed the troops, I poured the contents of my head out...... I hope to find out if the old man depicted this battle. But come to think of it, there's nothing about this battle.

At this time, I couldn't help but regret a little, how nice it would have been if I had listened to the old man tell more stories in the first place! I used to get bored with what he said, as I would say...... It's been so many years, why are you talking about it, the heroes don't mention the courage of the year. I don't care how good you used to be, anyway, the one standing in front of me now is a blind old man.

Now that I think about it, the words that the old man said are almost the combat experience he summed up, and almost every sentence can save my life!

However, not every sentence is useful, because the situation on the battlefield changes too quickly.

For example, last time, the old man obviously said that our army's artillery battalion would be attacked by the Yue devils, and I remember it clearly.

But......

I didn't even know what the artillery battalion was around and started fighting, so even if I remembered, it didn't work.

"Platoon commander!" Just when I was thinking nonsense, Chen Yiyi stabbed me with the butt of a gun next to me: "It's ...... ahead."

Looking around the corner along Chen Yiyi's gaze, there was really a highland dozens of meters high under the blurred starlight, and because it was not high, this highway was dug from the col in the middle of this highland...... The sides of the road were like knives, and if a man walked there and was ambushed, he would only be beaten, and the enemy seemed to throw grenades into it...... You don't even need to show your face. It's no wonder that it is called a ghost door closed.

Seeing this terrain, I couldn't help frowning, immediately stopped the troops, and said to the company commander: "Company commander, look, isn't it too dangerous for us to go up like this?" ”

"Do you have a way?" The company commander came up and saw that his face was also full of sadness, he made a gesture to ask the soldiers behind him to stop advancing, and then spread out the map in his hand and pointed to a high ground and said: "Look, the superior ordered us to reach the 239 high ground within three hours, and now more than two hours have passed, and we are still seven or eight kilometers away from the destination......

That's when I realized that we were aiming for 239 heights.

"Then ......," I hesitated, "then you can't die like this if you want to complete the mission!" ”

"Are you sure there's a devil ambush ahead?"

"Not sure!"

"Then what do you mean to send to death?"

So I was silent.

In fact, there should be a principle on the battlefield: that is, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, even if it is just suspicion, it must be tested and prepared as if it is there. This is just the opposite of the law, the law is that there is no suspicion of guilt, and we must have suspicion of guilt when we fight.

It's not that Company Commander Luo doesn't know this truth, but he is pressed by the orders of his superiors, so he has to take chances.

But I was still unwilling, mainly for the sake of my own life, so I plucked up my courage again and said: "Company commander, if we try the enemy, it won't take much time anyway!" ”

"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You mean...... Fire Scouting! ”

"That's right! It's fire reconnaissance ......"

Actually, I didn't know what fire reconnaissance was before that, but it was true that I wanted to use the trick of scaring snakes. However, whether it is "fire reconnaissance" or "striking at the grass and startling the snake," what they have to do is actually the same, that is, to shoot at the target, pretend to have discovered the enemy's situation, and trick the enemy who is lying in ambush into being fooled.

"It's good!" Company Commander Luo nodded in agreement: "Then you guys are in line, hurry up!" Remember to pretend to be a little bit more like! ”

"Yes!" I answered dryly.

I just thought in my heart, isn't it just a fire reconnaissance? You can't just shoot a gun!
