Chapter 127: Three Battalions

The real reinforcements arrived more than half an hour later, all brightly dressed and in good spirits, and numbered a battalion.

This time, Company Commander Luo didn't dare to be sloppy like last time, and he must let these troops wait at the foot of the mountain until he contacted the command headquarters and confirmed it repeatedly.

It turned out that this was the 3rd battalion of a certain regiment that was used as a division reserve...... It is said that in this battle, it is often necessary to keep a unit to maneuver in order to deal with unexpected situations on the battlefield, such as which position the Vietnamese army is attacking with all its strength and causing the defense line to be breached, or which Vietnamese army special forces suddenly appear near the arsenal or headquarters...... At this time, if there is no army left to maneuver, if you want to draw troops down from the front line, I am afraid that there will be a big mess. Such troops are called reserves.

This reserve is easily reminiscent of a reserve force, and there is a feeling of substitution, but this understanding is the exact opposite of the truth, because this unit is used for mobility, and often has to face unexpected situations, so it is often used by the most combat-ready troops.

The division headquarters mobilized reserves for the tunnel we had discovered...... It can also be seen that the division attaches great importance to this authenticity.

Later, we learned that the reason why the division headquarters transferred the reserve unit was not only to attach importance to the tunnel that we found that might be the "regimental headquarters" of the Vietnamese army, but also to consider that once the troops in our vicinity were mobilized, it was very likely that there would be a gap in the encirclement and the Vietnamese army's "regimental headquarters" would successfully break through.

Therefore, all the troops in the vicinity were ordered to strictly guard their posts and positions, strictly check the passing personnel, and be ready for battle at any time. After that, the reserves were sent separately.

I have to say. This arrangement of the superiors is correct. Now the "regimental command" of the Vietnamese army is already in our encirclement. And it's trapped in the tunnels. The first thing we have to do is to surround it to make sure he can't escape, and then slowly think about how to break the turtle shell and eat it!

But......

I don't think the higher-ups have taken one point into account: you sent a reserve battalion over...... Our biggest officer is still the company commander! At this time, a battalion commander will come up, so won't our command be deprived all at once?

Sure enough, just as I feared, the battalion commander dragged it like 2580,000 as soon as he came up, and only gave us a symbolic salute and said, "Okay, comrades." We'll take care of the rest! ”

Then, regardless of whether we wanted it or not, we crossed our waists and looked at the map with our staff officers to deploy troops...... I only saw that the company commander and I looked at each other, we originally wanted our superiors to send troops to support us, but we didn't expect to drive us down.

"What is this?" Liang Lian also ran up, looked at the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were busy above, and said, "The treasure we found, but we sent someone else to pick up the treasure?" ”

"That's it!" The other warriors also said dissatisfiedly: "This wild boar is trapped, and the meat has not been eaten yet, and it has been bitten by the wild boar...... Is this going to change hands? ”

Company Commander Luo was not reconciled, and stepped forward to salute the battalion commander and said, "Report." Ask the battalion commander to assign the task! ”

"Oh! What ...... you guys" At this time, the battalion commander seemed to think of us, and he glanced at Company Commander Luo. casually said, "You guys...... Just work with us! Or...... It's okay to hold the position on the top of the mountain to prevent the devils from rushing out to seize the commanding heights! ”

"Report to the battalion commander!" Company Commander Luo was of course not satisfied with this reply, and stepped forward to respond: "This tunnel was discovered by our company, and we know the situation better!" ”

The overtone in Company Commander Luo's words is that we are the protagonists here, and they have no right to kick us away like this.

However, the battalion commander didn't eat this, he smiled with some disdain on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You guys know the situation better? I say...... Do you know the structure of this tunnel? Or do you know how many devils there are here? ”

Now Company Commander Luo has nothing to say, who knows what is going on in the tunnels here?

"Say it again!" The battalion commander pointed to the surrounding mess and said, "Isn't it just for you to guard a tunnel entrance?" See how it is kept? I almost let the Yue devil rush out...... Also clear about the situation! ”

Company Commander Luo was about to explain, but the battalion commander didn't give him time at all, and said in a stiff tone: "Don't talk nonsense, carry out the order!" ”

Company Commander Luo was so angry that his face turned red and white, but Zuihou gritted his teeth and endured it, stood up and saluted and said, "Yes!" ”

When Company Commander Luo came back, his face was very ugly, as if he had choked a fly in his throat, and he didn't speak for a long time with a black face...... When the soldiers saw him like this, no one dared to ask about the situation.

Zuihou still walked up to me and handed over a cigarette, and said, "Company commander, there's nothing to be angry about!" Let's go to the top of the mountain to watch the play......"

"What do you mean?" The company commander asked, and took the cigarette with his hand.

I lit a match for the company commander and said, "I just exchanged fire with those Yue devils...... This group of more devils is not simple, they should have exchanged fire and fought with the Yankees, and they have a set of tunnel warfare and the like, you look at them......"

As I spoke, I raised my head at the soldiers of the 3rd battalion: "Looking at their appearance, I know that they have never fought, and they don't know how thick the sky is, let them suffer hardship!" ”

"The second platoon commander is right!" Scar also came up: "We fought so dangerously in that battle just now, so we know that the devils in this tunnel are not easy to deal with." The Yankees of the day were not fuel-efficient lamps either...... The more devils can even deal with the Yankees, will they be afraid of them? ”

"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo nodded, his face slowly softened at this time, and he spit out a long puff of smoke as if he had exhaled a breath.

Some might say...... Didn't you just say that this reserve force is the most combat-ready unit? Why are you so underestimating them now?

This has to be said in two ways, before the war...... This reserve is perhaps the most combat-ready unit. This can be seen from their equipment, isn't it? All of them are carrying submachine guns...... The amount of machine guns and rocket launchers is also much larger than ours, and if the training is better than that of ordinary troops...... It can indeed be called the most combat-effective unit.

But......

There is a saying that good steel is used on the blade, and the reserve is a mobile force, but it will not be sent to the battlefield without any major problems, which directly leads to the fact that this force is very likely to have not fought until now...... This can be seen in their brand new uniforms.

So...... Can a unit that has never been on the battlefield still be considered the strongest in combat? I'm afraid it's just a joke, like ...... The battalion commander thought it would be easy to guard those tunnels, but he blamed us for not guarding them! I don't think he has any skills, but he doesn't know the situation at all!

It is for this reason that I am not angry at all.

What is angry? It's your own body that is angry, and we are all people who don't know when we will die on the battlefield, and we still have to get along with ourselves?

And instead of getting angry, I watched these beam-jumping clowns toss in front of me as a veteran...... That's my character, if people look down on me...... I won't be so bored, angry, or have low self-esteem or anything, but I will not take the other person seriously.

For example, now, doesn't the battalion commander take us seriously? Didn't we garrison the hilltop position?

All right! I put the SVD sniper rifle on my back and shouted to the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, who were busy building bunkers and firing points, "Hey! I say recruit eggs...... You dug the bunker so far, who are you going to hit? Where is this devil's tunnel? ”

"That's it!" Scar also said next to him: "This is more than 300 meters away...... This Type 56 punch gun can hit 200 meters, right? You're digging for ornaments......"

After a while, I pointed to another group of people and said, "Hey! I say...... Do you have common sense! Isn't it a fire blockade of the tunnel entrance? You still have your guns outside the ridgeline...... What is this for? Can I see the tunnel entrance from here? ”

"I said the second platoon leader, you don't know this!" Scar sang and harmonized with me: "They know that they can't block the devils, and they will wait for them to rush out before they do it!" ”

"Oh!" I pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and shouted in an exaggerated tone: "So this is to lure the snake out of the hole!" Learned......"

Before I could finish speaking, Chen Yiyi snorted and couldn't help laughing.

Under my influence, the soldiers also pointed fingers at the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion on the hilltop position, as if they were directing the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion. There were even some soldiers who waved their hands crossed, pretending to be their battalion commanders and shouting at those soldiers, only to be so angry that the eyes of those soldiers who were working hard were green.

But what can they do with us?

First, we were stationed at the top of the hill according to the order, and second, we didn't make any mistakes, so we came again...... When the soldiers saw the weapons in our hands...... All of them are AK47s, and even the sniper rifles in my hand are much better than the Type 56 submachine guns in their hands, so I know that we are all soldiers on the battlefield, so where do we dare to speak out.

Even if the battalion commander saw it, he couldn't help it, who let him give the order?

I think he was only afraid that he was already regretting it at this time: how could it be good or not to let this group of soldiers go to guard the position on the top of the mountain, so that they were very majestic and majestic, and he knew that he would send them to guard the foot of the mountain......

But there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and it is difficult to say if you want to change the order, so you can only swallow this breath in your heart, just pretend not to see it. (To be continued......)
