Chapter 160: Unexpected Goals

Five to seven days......

The fighters all know what the number of five to seven days means to us.

We are an interspersed force, and interspersed means that we only carry with us a small amount of ammunition and food, which will only last us for a day or two at most.

At this time, it was decided that the interspersed troops must march quickly, and the order given to us by the superiors at that time was that they must penetrate to the designated position as quickly as possible.

Since you want to use the fastest speed...... Then we have to travel light, so we can only carry limited ammunition and food, and many times we have to choose between ammunition and food: do we want to bring an extra magazine? Or bring an extra pack of compressed biscuits?

And because we are now actually caught in the encirclement of the Vietnamese army...... The current situation is that the main force of our army has surrounded the Vietnamese army in Dafang Xiangshang, and the Vietnamese army has surrounded us in Xiangshang, a small party in the pass. So, it's impossible for us to get any supplies.

In other words, it is telling us that we will soon be in a situation where we will run out of food and ammunition.

The first thing we did was to search the canyon of the 217 highlands and passes. Luckily, we found one batch of ammunition in the "T" fortifications on the high ground and another in a cave in the canyon.

After all, this 217 highland and gorge are military points used by the Vietnamese army to prevent our troops from passing, and the Vietnamese army also knows that there must be no shortage of ammunition in these two places, otherwise the natural danger of this pass will not be a natural danger. So a large number of ammunition was prepared in advance at these two positions. Coupled with the suddenness of our army's attack, it can almost be said that the two positions were easily taken before the Vietnamese army reacted, so the Vietnamese army did not even have time to destroy these ammunition......

This at least leaves us without worrying about ammunition for the time being. Of course. No one knows how long these ammunition will last...... It's not up to us to decide. Rather, it was decided by the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army, which was besieged by us. The intensity of their charge determines the rate at which our ammunition is consumed.

Unfortunately, however, we did not find much food in these ammunition depots. Zuihou or Chen Yiyi dug up a few bags of rice and a box of compressed biscuits in the corner of an A-shaped fortification...... And what makes people speechless is that the packaging bags of these things are also printed with the words "Made in China".

At the beginning, we were still wondering that since the Vietnamese army planned to stay here for a long time, Weishenme would not have prepared food...... After all, the soldiers of a company consume a lot of food, right?

Then we quickly learned the reason: it was not that the Vietnamese army did not prepare food, but that they simply did not have extra food for them to prepare.

Just imagine, these Vietnamese soldiers are so poor that they are reluctant to wear them even on the battlefield because they are worried that their shoes will be worn out, so how much food will there be for them.

Ironically...... They were so poor that they could not have enough food or clothing, but they had plenty of weapons and good weapons. This, of course, has to do with the arms assistance provided to them by the Soviet Union and China. But on the other hand, it also illustrates Vietnam's reckless militarism.

After searching the 217 heights, the next thing was to assign the tasks of the troops according to the order of the regiment commander.

This is of course very important, because the 217 Heights and Canyons simply can't accommodate the hundreds of us, and we can't squeeze all of them into the 217 Heights...... This will undoubtedly cause the Yue devils to blow up a large area with one shot of ammunition at us.

The regimental commander was arranged as follows: one company was assigned in the direction of the 217 heights and gorges, and another company was assigned to the 179 heights in Xiangshang on the other side, with one company as a reserve. Because considering that the main direction of attack of the Vietnamese army must be the 217 Heights and the canyons of the passes, the remaining company will be used as a replacement unit for the 217 Heights, and the fighters on the 217 Heights will be replaced to rest if necessary.

Highlands 217 and 179 and 2681 are surrounded by a cliff in a triangular area, with only a large gap in the west...... The regimental commander arranged for three tanks and an infantry platoon to plug the gap here, and the other two tanks were placed in the gorge Xiangshang.

Thereupon...... It's like we're using the terrain to enclose a clearing in the middle. This open space was used for regimental commanders, wounded, logistics personnel, and a small number of mortar units.

This disposition of forces is certainly justified, and these deployments seem to be a subconscious decision of the regiment commander. And it was done in an orderly manner in a very short time...... From this, it can also be seen that the regiment commander's military quality and command ability are quite good.

However, this does not seem surprising, because the troops used by our army for interspersing have always been units that are good at fighting hard battles and hard battles, and their commanders must of course have a certain ability.

The first to be stationed on the 217 heights was, of course, our company...... According to the regiment commander, that is, let's fight a few battles on the 217 heights first, so that his soldiers can study and study hard. Of course, there is an ingredient in this compliment...... However, it still makes sense for us to be the first to garrison the 217 Heights, after all, we have just fought a battle on the 217 Heights and are familiar with the terrain. Moreover, it is easy to cause confusion when changing guards against the enemy, after all, the troops in the rear are busy at this time.

So we faced the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army on the other side at the top of the hill...... To be honest, this scene is really hair-wrenching, and when you look at it, it is the black and oppressive Vietnamese army. If this were an ordinary Vietnamese army, it would be fine, but this is still the 316A Division of the Vietnamese army...... And it's also the angry 316A Division.

To say that they are angry? Because they didn't think of it, of course...... Our troops, who are besieged by their regiments, this force that they use as bait, this force that they could have completely annihilated before but did not bother to do anything...... He was able to break through their encirclement and cut off their retreat before they could react.

Later, I learned that the reason why the Vietnamese army was so angry was not only because of this, but also because they had obtained information...... The army that did bad for them was the same force that repelled them on Mount Dainai.

In just a few days, the 316A Division, which is known as the ace of the Vietnamese army, has planted two big heels in a row, how can it not make them angry and attack.

On the other hand, of course...... The more angry the enemy is, the happier we are.

"Look at ......" Wang Kechang held the binoculars and said with a smile: "The more devils are so angry that they are jumping to their feet!" ”

"Is there one? Let me see! ”

"Let me see!"

……

The soldiers rushed up like curious children to grab Wang Kechang's binoculars.

"Hey, really!" Xiao Shi looked at it and smiled: "There is also a Yue devil who has been criticized, maybe because he lost his position!" ”

"Isn't that right?" The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter: "It's not just that I lost my position, now it's a problem to escape, and it's strange not to be criticized!" ”

"Criticized?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

Most of the Vietnamese troops on the 217 heights were killed by us on the high grounds, even if some commanders fled...... It was impossible to escape to the other side, for the simple reason that the pass was then occupied by our troops.

So...... The Yue devil who was criticized should not be the commander of this position, but the superior of this army.

There is a company of Vietnamese troops on the 217 heights, and their direct commander should be the company commander, then his superior should be the battalion commander...... A battalion commander was also criticized, and the one who criticized him was ...... What kind of official should it be?

Thinking of this, I immediately raised my binoculars and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"What?" Wang Kechang was a little inexplicable when I asked.

"The more devil is criticized!"

"Oh!" Wang Kechang answered, and then pointed to a position and said, "There, two o'clock!" ”

Looking in the direction pointed by Wang Kechang, he saw a Vietnamese army officer scolding, although his attire was very ordinary, there was no collar badge or epaulette, and he didn't even buckle the armed belt, but he just casually buttoned a straw hat-shaped helmet on his head...... I think this is also the reason why he dared to go to the front line, he may have thought that no one would recognize him as an officer by dressing like this, or he was disrupted by the great change on the battlefield or the defeat of the battle, so he personally went to this line to see the situation.

looked around this guy, there were several guards walking around intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the Vietnamese officer who was scolded like a bloody dog in front of him didn't even dare to let out a fart...... It made it even easier for me to determine his identity.

So I put down my binoculars and ran forward a few meters, setting up my rifle on a protruding rock.

For me...... Even if that guy isn't an important person, that's a waste of a bullet, isn't it? It can even be said that even if you miss, there is no loss. It's like buying a lottery ticket for a few bucks, but you could win a multimillion-dollar jackpot...... Of course, I don't want to miss such a good thing.

The soldiers also knew what I wanted to do, so they all cooperated and quieted down.

Of course, I don't have the heart to pay attention to them now, and all my attention is focused on the Vietnamese soldier who is losing his temper.

The target is about eight hundred meters...... This distance allows me to see only a small point even with a sniper scope.

But...... If it weren't for this distance, I'm afraid this guy wouldn't be at ease scolding there!

What gives me even more headaches is ...... The terrain is very complicated, and the mountain wind blows eastward, passing a valley pass and a mountain col on the way.

What does passing through Taniguchi represent? It means that the mountain wind has found an exit in this area, and it will be more urgent and fierce.

What does the col represent? It means that the mountain wind will change direction and even flow back here because it is blocked......

These are all questions I want to think about, because they all affect the flight of bullets. So I knew that this was a better time to bomb with mortars, but I knew that the opportunity was fleeting...... When I informed the mortar troops and asked them to adjust Zhu Yuan, I was afraid that this guy would have already left.

So, I had to try to shoot it...... (To be continued......)
