The troops soon launched an operation, and the first thing to do, of course, was to take the 581 heights.

However, everything is always easier said than done, and when we crawled to the heights in the dark, we realized that it was not as easy as we imagined to take down 581.

The main difficulty came from climbing to the 581 heights...... The original two mountain roads leading to the 581 Heights must not be walkable, and it is impossible for the Yue Devils to be defenseless at all, and they must have buried mines or set up secret posts on these two mountain roads.

You know, the Dark Whistle is not always like it's so easy for us to find it and unplug it...... This is the high ground, and the high ground will inevitably have some high protruding rocks or some impassable cliffs, and the Vietnamese army's secret posts will often lurk in these positions.

A sentry like this is the trickiest, because you can't do anything about him even if you find out...... Positive insurmountable, isn't it? Unless you can silently fly down the wall like a spider. At the same time, you can't shoot with a gun, and you can't bomb ...... This would serve as a warning to all the other Vietnamese troops, and the sentry would work.

Therefore, the only way to encounter this kind of outpost is to take a detour, but if you take a detour, you may encounter more mines and more outposts, and then you have to continue the detour...... The result will only be an endless road.

Fortunately, we are very familiar with the terrain of the 581 Heights...... After all, we have been crawling on this for more than a month, so we can say that we are very clear about every path and every stone here, plus we did not destroy the fortifications on the high ground when we evacuated...... The more devils think we are here to destroy in a hurry.

The situation at that time was indeed in line with the Vietnamese army's idea of "not rushing to destroy...... Our army is attacked by Vietnamese troops on the front, and Vietnamese troops are outflanked by Vietnamese troops through minefields...... If we take one step too late, we will most likely be surrounded by Vietnamese troops.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army was convinced that these relatively well-preserved fortifications were due to the fact that our troops did not have time to destroy them. Therefore, it is very safe to use.

That's it. It's much simpler for us.

One. Of course, we remember where the tunnels and communication trenches we built were at the beginning, which means that we know the location of the Vietnamese army.

Second, the Vietnamese army was relieved to use our fortifications, which meant that the explosives we had buried under the fortifications could play a greater role.

So, with our familiarity with Heights 581, we immediately touched the sides of the heights.

At that time, our troop distribution was as follows: the first platoon and the second platoon touched up from both sides, and the third platoon ambushed at the foot of the mountain to fight the Vietnamese reinforcements.

I led the second platoon up the right side of the high ground...... Although the high ground was difficult to climb, we knew where to go up and it would not be easy for the enemy to find out, so everything went very smoothly, and the only danger was that the recruits under us were too nervous. So much so that he stepped on the stones several times and caused a lot of movement. Fortunately, this place is not far from the battlefield ahead, and there are gunshots and cannons of the Vietnamese devils everywhere, so it did not arouse the vigilance of the Vietnamese army.

Halfway up the mountain, I found the pre-buried haode fuse in the pile of rubble, and I notified the troops to enter the combat position by radio code......

The so-called combat position is actually close to our own tunnel...... Because we are familiar with the location of these pits, it is not difficult to do this. The difficulty is that you can't let the devils find out...... The reason is that the Vietnamese army does not seem to be satisfied with the tunnel fortifications we have built, and most of them, except for a few who are in the tunnel, sleep in tents outside the tunnel.

"Fuck!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly: "This Vietnamese army unit is the Fifth Infantry Division, and it is the original South Vietnamese army!" The troops of South Vietnam were trained by the Yankees...... They are not as accustomed to hardship and hiding in tunnels as the North Vietnamese army! How could I not have thought of this? ”

But after thinking about it, I feel that these more devils are really bold enough...... You must know that this slope is a positive slope for our army. Aren't they afraid that our army will cover them with artillery fire?

Then I quickly figured out that the tents of those Yue devils were all built outside the mouth of the tunnel. They are using the tunnel as an anti-artillery hole...... Quickly take refuge in the event of shelling!

So I knew what to do.

"Marx!" I whispered behind me, and Marx soon crawled up.

"Give them a few shells!" I say.

"What? Cannonball? Marx's eyes were full of doubts, we are engaged in a sneak attack...... Doesn't this cannon reveal the offensive intent?

"Execute the order!" I said, "Don't hit accurately, just spread out and shoot five or six shots!" ”

"Yes!" Marx answered and whispered to the rear with a walkie-talkie.

At the same time, I gave an order to each platoon: "There will be an artillery bombardment of our army in a few minutes, all units pay attention to concealment, do not shoot guns, do not raise their heads, and wait for the order to attack!" ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

After a while, there were a few whistling sounds in the sky, followed by a loud "boom...... A few shells exploded around the 581 heights.

The more devils quickly reacted...... They first came out of the tent with their guns in hand to see what was going on, and when they saw that there was no movement, they quickly relaxed their guard. Followed by...... When a few more shells came in, a Vietnamese soldier who looked like an officer shouted: "Enter the tunnel!" Enter the pit ......"

That's what I'd like to see...... The Vietnamese army used the tunnel as an anti-artillery hole, didn't it? Then I'll give them a few shells and let them get into it themselves!

So in the next second, I lit the fuse that connected to the tunnels and ordered the walkie-talkie: "Get ready for battle!" ”

Of course, the soldiers knew what to prepare, so they approached their target in the dark when the Vietnamese army was busy drilling into the tunnel.

After a few hours of annoying waiting, I heard a muffled "boom", followed by a scream, followed by another muffled sound...... Because the length of the fuse is different, the time for the explosives to explode in each tunnel is also different, so the time for the fighters to start is also different.

It's the same...... A few fighters stood guard outside the mouth of each tunnel, and when explosions and screams could be heard from inside the tunnel, they rushed in with guns in hand and fired in a burst.

So the gunshots, explosions and screams soon became lively one after another, and the more devils seemed to realize that they had been fooled at this time, but they had nothing to do......

Rushing out of the tunnel? Our men had already blocked the mouth of the tunnel with fire, and they rushed out and died.

Don't you rush out of the pit? Then they end up waiting inside for the explosives to explode......

I believe that these devils don't understand that Weishenme will have explosives under his buttocks until they die, and they don't understand that Weishenme will explode at this time...... But one thing is clear, and that is that their end has come!

As a result, the tunnels were cleared smoothly, and I was glad that ...... The amount of explosives we planted before seemed to be no more, no less, just enough to blow up the Vietnamese troops in the tunnel to the point of losing their ability to resist without causing serious damage to the tunnel.

Among them, only two small tunnels were blown up, and three small tunnels did not know that the explosives in the weishenme did not explode...... Maybe it's because the explosives are damp or the fuse is damp, but whatever it is, anyway, we're small pits that are easy to deal with, so let's just throw a few explosives into it and blow it up completely.

Of course, after this battle, the pit was full of the blood of the Yue devils...... This can also make us uncomfortable.

We then quickly relied on these trench fortifications to expand our gains to the hilltop position...... On the hilltop position, there were two new machine gun positions set up by the Yue Devils, and when they realized that something was wrong, they didn't care about the 3721 and shot a lot of bullets on the inclined plane...... But this kind of aimless strafing is tantamount to looking for death, which not only does not kill any enemy, but also reveals one's own position.

So, after Marx summoned a field of shells to hit the hilltop position, we easily controlled the 581 heights in our own hands.

Some might say...... How could this artillery shoot so accurately in this dark night?

You must know that we have been holding on to this 581 high ground for more than a month, not to mention the coordinates and orientation of the position on the top of the mountain, even the key location of the anticline plane is recorded in Marx's book, and all the artillery needs to do is to adjust the elements according to these data, and then load and open fire......

The number of casualties was counted as soon as the battle was over...... Only two soldiers died under the grenade that Yue Guizi pulled before he died, and the remaining ten people were only slightly injured.

Originally, I thought that such a result would be quite good, war! There will always be casualties, and to be able to take a high ground and nearly a company of Vietnamese troops at such a small casualties and cost, this battle is worthy of pride in any case.

However, it soon became clear to me that there was more to it than that......

"Company commander, company commander......" Li Zuolong shouted at me on the walkie-talkie: "You should come here to have a look...... A cave in the middle of the mountain! ”

"What's wrong?" I asked on the intercom, "Is there a Yue devil stationed?" ”

I know of this cave, there were originally two of them, one was located at the foot of the mountain, but because it was our ammunition depot, we couldn't take it with us when we retreated, so it had to explode...... The other was located halfway up the mountain, and because it was far from the hilltop position, it didn't play a big role, so it was only two soldiers who had been sent to guard it before.

"It's true that there are more devils guarding it!" Li Zuolong said: "But we have solved the ......"

"So what else are you looking at?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"There's ammunition everywhere!" Li Zuolong replied: "Heaps and piles...... There are also rifles, machine guns...... It's everything, it's all American! ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this...... Fuck, dare to love this more devil thinks the same as us, knowing that the cave is more suitable for an ammunition depot! That's cheaper for us! (To be continued......)
