I soon learned that the unit responsible for the infiltration was a company of fighters of the 15th company of the 7th regiment of the frontier.

In fact, their lurking this time is not only to prepare for taking the East Mountain of the Bali River as Commander Jiang said, but also to worry about the ...... When a large force of our army attacks Lao Son, will there be Vietnamese reinforcements who take advantage of the gap in the left flank to infiltrate the rear of our army's defense line and surround our army.

Of course, this concern is justified, you must know that our army's battle to recover Laoshan has been fought for nearly a whole day, and if the Vietnamese devils dispatch troops in time during this period, they are fully capable of inserting a knife from the left flank or even the back of our attacking troops.

The purpose of the Seventh Frontier Company lurking in the east mountain of the Bali River was to ensure the safety of the flank of the troops attacking Laoshan.

But to our surprise, the Vietnamese army did not penetrate into our defense line from the east mountain of the Bali River.

As for why the Vietnamese army did not infiltrate our army's defense line from the direction of the east mountain of the Bali River, Division Commander Jiang's judgment was: "

One: The Vietnamese army is short of troops, and now the Vietnamese army on the border is tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall, which is proved by the fact that the 316A Division was transferred around by us lightly, so the Vietnamese army does not have many troops to carry out this task.

Two: Our army attacked rapidly, and the Vietnamese army did not have enough time to prepare.

Although our army fought for nearly a day, it was a secret march before, and the Vietnamese army only discovered our army's offensive intention when our artillery was preparing for it, and at this time, the Vietnamese army had to hurriedly organize the defense and reinforcement in the direction of Lao Shan and Songmaoling, so there was no time or thought to organize troops to infiltrate from the east mountain of the Bali River. When I thought about it, the battle for the recovery of Laoshan was over. ”

I'm skeptical about that, because I know it very well. Although the number of Vietnamese troops is small. But the command is not so ineffective.

As I turned out to be right. It's not that the Vietnamese army didn't have access to the east mountain of the Bali River, it's just that our army didn't find it.

This is not to blame the Seventh Frontier Company, you must know that there are a total of 7 positions lined up from south to north in the East Mountain of the Bali River, with a frontal width of 1,300 meters, and the Seventh Frontier Company of our army is lurking on one of the highlands, 1019 Heights. Although the line of sight on this high ground is relatively good, this is a jungle area with a width of 1,300 meters, and the lurking point of the Seventh Frontier Company is only 130 meters away from the nearest place of the Vietnamese army, so it is impossible to make a large observation action at all. So it's normal not to find the enemy.

In addition, I believe that the reason why Division Commander Jiang is so sure that the Vietnamese army did not penetrate into our army's defense line is because of the mentality of "hindsight...... When our army attacked Lao Mountain, there was no task in the rear to harass the Vietnamese army, so it is natural to conclude that there was no Vietnamese army infiltrated.

In fact, most of the cadres have this mentality, including me, and I also think like this: If the Vietnamese devils infiltrate our army's defense line, then when our army's large army attacks Laoshan and fights with the first-line Vietnamese army, why would the Vietnamese devils give up such a good opportunity and do nothing?

For example, they can attack our supply lines, and for example, they can attack our arsenals......

What none of us expected was that the Vietnamese infiltration force had a much more important goal. That's why we can watch Laoshan being taken by our army and hidden deeply.

Of course, that's all for later.

I quickly got the information of the 7th Frontier Company and the history of their actions...... We are going to provide artillery cover for the 7th Frontier Company when necessary. Therefore, of course, the more comprehensive the information you have, the better.

In order to hold their positions for a long time, the soldiers of the Seventh Company left backpacks, raincoats, etc., and carried as much ammunition and dry food as possible.

That's for sure, know that their plan is to lie dormant for ten days, and what will they eat if they don't bring more dry food!

They marched non-stop in the dark for 12 hours on the mountain road, and finally arrived at their destination five minutes early the next morning.

On the first day, of course, they lurked at a distance from the enemy's lines. That night, they found in the grass that was only separated by a mountain sorghum from the enemy's occupied heights, and the closest distance between them and the enemy was only more than 130 meters.

In order not to expose the target, they trimmed and remodeled the fortifications at night.

In fact, they used the sound of gunfire and artillery in the direction of Lao Son to cover the sound of fortifications, and in order not to alarm the enemy, they gently scraped the ground with shovels, or simply picked them little by little with both hands, and after several nights of continuous efforts, they repaired more than 20 shelters, more than 30 single bunkers and cat's ear holes without the Vietnamese army noticing.

So I can understand why they are able to lurk for so long.

The reason is simple, with these shelters, single bunkers and cat ear piercings, at least they can move their muscles in a limited space...... Otherwise, if you lie motionless in the grass for ten days, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand up by then.

In terms of supplies, for the first three days when the fortifications were not built, they relied entirely on the dry food they had brought with them to satisfy their hunger...... Of course, this is for covert considerations, and in the case of the fortifications being built, a little bigger action may be discovered by the Yue devils, which is of course not suitable for sending them food.

But even if the fortifications were built, the supplies did not improve much: a cold meal and a pot of water for two days...... The reason why it had to be cold rice was because they were worried that the aroma of the hot rice would drift in the direction of the devils and arouse their alarm. You must know that it is rare for the devil to eat a hot meal, so he is also quite sensitive to the aroma of rice.

I can fully imagine what a difficult environment they have been able to endure in this lurk. I'm also someone who has fought latent warfare, and of course I know that every moment of tension is high in such situations.

During the day, there is no need to build fortifications, but the enemy is active and cannot sleep. I can't sleep well at night due to mosquito bites, and even the biggest problem in sleeping is ...... What to do if you snore? What if you talk about dreams? What if you are bitten by a mosquito and subconsciously reach out to hit a mosquito?!

So in the past few days, the soldiers of the Seventh Frontier Company have not looked like men, they have been bitten by mosquitoes and insects, soaked by dew and rain, and rotten crotch......

Later, I learned that these were all trivial, the temperature difference between day and night on the mountain was very large, and there were several rains in between, which made most of the soldiers of the Seventh Frontier Company have the experience of illness during the lurking process.

The deputy company commander had diarrhea on the second day after he took up the position, and it was still when the fortifications were not built, so he could only pull into his pants motionlessly.

The second squad leader suffered from bronchitis, and in order not to cough out, he covered his mouth with a hat or towel, buried his face in the soil and coughed softly, so that the green tendons on his face jumped.

There are also many soldiers who have a fever, and it is good to be exposed to the sun during the day, but at night they are shivering with cold, especially when it sometimes rains, so they can only hide in the cat's ear hole and shiver and grit their teeth.

When I saw these situations, I couldn't help but sigh and didn't know what to say.

At this point, I thought that if I had been in command, I would have said that I would not have been able to give this order.

The reason is simple, because I do not believe that there will be people, and there will be a company of people who will be able to hold out in such conditions for ten days. Since no one can hold on, it means that this plan will definitely not work, in other words, the risk of being discovered by the enemy is too great, so I will not think about it at all and will wonder if there is any other way.

But......

It was the higher authorities who gave this order and made this plan.

I don't know if this is the superior, I don't know that I don't know that I blame Fu Sakura, so I pry and inlay John Kenlu annoyed Jiaofen'an competition and copied it

And it's not good, there really is such a force...... Border Seven Company.

I don't know how many days they'll last, but at least they've been holding out for three days and three nights.

On the other hand, when the Seventh Frontier Company was lurking in the east mountain of the Bali River, Division Commander Jiang was actively organizing an attack on the east mountain of the Bali River.

However, this preparation did not go smoothly, because the Vietnamese army in the Lao Son direction was increasing and the pressure was increasing...... You must know that we are facing the 316A and 313th Divisions of the Vietnamese Army on this side, although there has been no large-scale fighting during this time, it can be seen that the Vietnamese Army is constantly probing, hoping to find the loopholes in our defense line and launch a fatal blow.

It is for this reason that the immediate priority is to reserve enough ammunition on Lao Son to deal with a possible attack by the Vietnamese army.

However, it was quite difficult to transport ammunition and supplies to the old mountain...... The supply was completely dependent on manpower, and it took more than ten hours to go up the mountain and more than ten hours to descend the mountain. And people need time to rest, so they can only go back and forth every two days.

This unforeseen state of affairs caused the attack on the east hill of the Bali River to drag on and on, and it was not until the seventh day that this stalemate was broken.

This day was the eighth day of the Seventh Company of Frontier Guards, and they had been lurking here for seven days and seven nights.

In these seven days and seven nights, the soldiers of their whole company did not wash their faces once, did not change their clothes once, did not eat a good meal, and did not sleep beautifully, everyone was covered in mud, their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces were full of pimples bitten by mosquitoes.

At this moment, the deputy company commander He Zhengchang found that the Vietnamese army had set up several 60 guns and 82 guns on the position.

He Zhengchang judged that this must have been the discovery of an important target of our army by the Vietnamese army, otherwise they would not have risked their lives to use mortars...... It was later proved that Ho Zhengchang's judgment was correct, and the Vietnamese army found a troop of military vehicles transporting ammunition from our army at this time.

So He Zhengchang immediately reported the situation to his superiors through the walkie-talkie.

I would like to pay tribute to the 7th Frontier Company in the above chapters, the comrades of the 7th Company of the 15th Frontier Regiment lurked for seven days and seven nights in front of the 1019 Heights in the battle of Dongshan of the Bali River. The article describes the true deeds of the 7 companies. (To be continued......)
