Chapter 171: Shoot Me

"Bang bang ......" With the sound of gunshots, the Yue devils who rushed up in front of us were beaten down one after another.

It should be said that we were lucky that the grenade of the Vietnamese army was pressed by the soldier with his body...... This ensured that none of the fighters around me were affected by the grenades, and on the other hand, the Vietnamese troops were small in number and quite scattered, so we effectively kept the current Vietnamese troops out of the trenches.

But......

The rest of the trenches were not so lucky, and with the explosion of grenades one after another, the Vietnamese troops quickly rushed to our positions one by one and raised their guns to fire at our soldiers in the trenches.

In fact, this is not the biggest trouble, anyone who has experience in the battlefield knows it...... On the battlefield, there are usually several trenches in front and back, in order to worry about such a situation on the battlefield...... For example, we have built two trenches on this hilltop position (the reason why there are only two is because the space on the top of the hill is too narrow), and once the first trench is broken by the enemy, our army can retreat to the second trench and wait until the position is stabilized before launching a counterattack.

Therefore, if the Vietnamese army just stood on the trenches and fired at us, then the matter would be simpler...... The fighters of the second line of trenches will soon organize fire to act as cover for us, or allow us to retreat in time, or launch a counteroffensive.

However, those more devils are like ghosts...... After a few shots in the trenches, they jumped into the trenches of our troops with the smoke of grenades......

That's the last thing I want to see...... It's a dark night when you can't see your fingers, and the warriors can't recognize who it is at a distance of a meter from each other, let alone distinguish between friend and foe. So chaos is inevitable.

I think. This is exactly what the Vietnamese army is aiming for. The number of Vietnamese troops in the undercover is smaller than ours...... In total, there were only two platoons of a few dozen people, and in addition to the fact that most of them were killed and wounded by us in the process of charging, then only twenty or thirty people could rush into the trenches of our army.

According to common sense, our army has a company on this hilltop position, so it is not too easy to deal with these twenty or thirty people. But the real battle was not so simple, because these twenty or thirty people had already mixed into our troops...... As a result, we were unable to organize an effective defense at all, and it seemed that we could only wait for the follow-up troops of the Yue Devils to follow up wave after wave to occupy our hilltop position.

Withdraw to the second trench?

Of course not, the more devils are not fools. We withdrew to the second line of trenches...... Then they will definitely join us in withdrawing ...... In other words, where we withdraw to chaos, it will also mean where the Vietnamese army will occupy.

Call the troops of the second company to come up?

It doesn't seem to work, our problem is that we can't distinguish friend from foe, and a large number of people will not only not solve the problem, but will cause more confusion.

If there was more time, that would be fine...... After all, there are only twenty or thirty people who have stormed into the trenches of our army, and it will always be solved by clearing it slowly. But the problem is that the follow-up units of the Vietnamese army are following up with all their might, and it only takes a few minutes to rush up...... At that time, even the gods will not be able to protect us.

"All of them!" I heard the commander of the fourth company shouting an order: "No one is allowed to retreat, whoever retreats is a devil, kill them all!" ”

No doubt. The commander of the fourth company was correct in this order. This does not solve the problem of identification, but it can prevent the spread of confusion...... This order was actually told to the soldiers of the second trench. Anyone who moves towards them can shoot him as if he were an enemy.

The soldiers of the 447th Regiment were really a little tough, and as soon as they heard the order of the fourth company commander, they immediately shot and killed a few black shadows running towards the second trench...... Although no one knows whether they are friend or foe, they are the only way to do so in extraordinary times.

However, as soon as the fourth company commander shouted like this, he shouted out the problem, and as soon as the Yue Devil heard this shout, he immediately knew that he must be an officer...... Their purpose was to throw our army into chaos, and it would undoubtedly be better to deal with the enemy's commander and make the enemy lose his command, so soon several figures ran along the sound.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but have an idea: this devil can judge that the fourth company commander is an officer by his voice, so we can't use his voice to judge the enemy and me.

So I didn't hesitate, and while replacing the pistol with a new magazine, I shouted, "All of them...... It is the Chinese who are shouting, long live New China! ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment and then quickly reacted, so one after another "Long live New China" resounded over the position.

I shouted over and over again, almost non-stop, as I pointed my pistol at the shadows that didn't scream and fired bullet after bullet......

This method seemed to work, and after a while the chaos in the trenches was quickly brought under control. Of course...... It cannot be ruled out that there are some Yue devils who are still mixed in our army because they can speak Chinese, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that some soldiers were killed by their own people by mistake because they did not have time to shout urgently...... But there is no way to do it, and I believe that the soldiers who died unjustly will understand us and will support us in doing so.

But the battle in the trenches did not end there, because the commander of the fourth company had been controlled by several Yue devils and became their shield......

There were a total of five Yue devils, and they grabbed two PLA soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, on both sides of the trench, and one of them facing me was the commander of the fourth company.

The Vietnamese devils did not shoot, because their purpose was to delay time, and shooting would mean that they would soon be beaten into a sieve, and it also meant that we could also devote ourselves to dealing with the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army, which was not what they wanted to see.

So we are faced with two choices:

One: Continue to stalemate with the Yue devils like this.

This will undoubtedly lose precious time and allow more Vietnamese devils to rush into our positions...... This is undoubtedly waiting for death.

Two: Shooting recklessly.

However, no one can fire this shot...... Before, in the darkness we could comfort ourselves: all we defeated were enemies.

However, now we clearly know that the one standing in front of us is our comrade-in-arms, and he is also the commander of the fourth company.

"Shoot!" The commander of the fourth company opened his mouth full of blood and shouted at us: "If you don't shoot, it's too late...... I command you: Shoot me! ”

"Shoot! Comrades. Avenge us......" another warrior also shouted. But before he could finish speaking, the enemy's military thorn pierced his arm. Then it turned into a scream.

But I and the fighters still did not shoot, and although we had the courage to kill the enemy, we did not have the courage to kill our own people.

Even Company Commander Luo, who rushed over, didn't know what to do, so the battle situation was so anxious, seeing that the enemy's large army was getting closer and closer to us, and the crisis was getting closer and closer to us......

At the moment when Qianjun was firing, I only heard the roar of the four consecutive commanders: "The more devils...... I am your father! ”

As he spoke, he ignited the grenade hanging from the waist of the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army hurriedly shouted and wanted to run when he saw this situation. But he was tightly hugged by the commander of the fourth company and couldn't break free from his thighs, and then he only heard a loud "boom", and blood splashed everywhere in the trenches.

When a grenade explodes in a relatively enclosed space such as a trench, its lethality is multiplied. So none of the men who had been in the scuffle survived, and they all fell to the ground.

Everyone stared blankly at this scene, as if they could not accept this sudden change.

"Organize defense!" Company Commander Luo woke all of us up with a shout, and we set up rifles and machine guns in the trenches to shoot at the enemy.

"Bang!" A single shot rang out, and one of the enemy fell under my gun.

The speed of his charge was very fast, but in the blink of an eye, he rushed into a place only forty meters away from our position.

It is well known that the best way to deal with the enemy in the trenches is not a submachine gun in his hand, but a grenade. The enemy pulled out a grenade as fast as he could, and pulled the fuse with his teeth......

But there are many veterans who have a habit of pulling a grenade. That is, to keep it in your hand and wait for two seconds so that the enemy does not have a chance to throw back. It was his habit that gave me the opportunity to shoot him down before he threw a grenade.

Then I just heard a "boom". The grenade did me a great favor, it exploded directly in front of the Vietnamese army's charging ranks, not to mention knocking several Vietnamese soldiers to the ground, and causing the Vietnamese soldiers to significantly stagnate their pace in rushing forward.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out, and a Vietnamese machine gunner fell to the stone with his head tilted.

The Vietnamese machine gunner was very clever, and while everyone else was busy charging, he quietly chose a protruding stone on the side to lie down, and then slowly stretched out the light machine gun in his hand and erected it on the stone......

The distance between him and our position was only sixty or seventy meters, and if he were to fire his machine gun at this distance, he would at least suppress the fire of one squad of our troops, and the Vietnamese army would take advantage of this opportunity to rush up and tear us to pieces.

But he made a mistake - the stone was uneven, which made him try several places but couldn't find the balance point of the bipod, and just when he found the best balance point and was ready to strafe, my bullet had already made him never have this chance.

"Bang!" A gunshot knocked down two enemies.

Because of the elevation angle of the high ground slope, a Vietnamese soldier in front had to raise his head to shoot, so he exposed a section of his neck between his chin and collar badge, and my bullet was aimed at his neck. So the bullet easily passed through the neck of the first Vietnamese soldier and then hit the second target.

The power of secondary damage has once again been demonstrated...... The second Vietnamese soldier had a bowl-sized hole in his chest, and the whole person flew out with the inertia of the bullet...... The first Vietnamese soldier still knelt down with his bloody neck, and then slowly fell......

Although our army had organized a fire counterattack in time, the enemy obviously did not want to give up this opportunity, so they still rushed towards us in waves, regardless of life and death, they stepped on the blood of their compatriots, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and rushed up frantically, and some of them completely exposed themselves to our guns without regard for life and death.

However, all these efforts and sacrifices of the Vietnamese army were in vain, because the soldiers of the second company had been replenished into the trenches in time under the orders of Company Commander Luo. (To be continued......)
