Chapter Eighty-Four: Fire Attack

Guided by artillery flares, we landed smoothly on the open ground on the south side of the 1828 Heights.

Of course, this process attracted the attention of the Vietnamese army, after all, hundreds of paragliders were floating in the air, and they were still on the top of the heads of the Vietnamese devils, so it was difficult not to attract the attention of the Vietnamese army.

As the Vietnamese army fired several flares, the Vietnamese army soon discovered us "trapeze". It's just a pity that they didn't put much anti-aircraft fire around it...... If you want to talk about anti-aircraft firepower, there must be, but the Vietnamese army's plan is to use anti-aircraft missiles to hit our helicopters, as for anti-aircraft machine guns and the like, they are not arranged much because the trapped targets are outside the firing range, and even if there is an arrangement, it is arranged in the north, and we are now in the south.

In addition, the artillery units once again launched a new round of bombardment of the Vietnamese positions...... At this time, it was planned in advance of our army, and the artillery unit opened fire a few minutes after we parachuted, on the one hand, to guide us in the direction, and on the other hand, to suppress the Vietnamese firepower and provide us with cover. The reason why it was a few minutes later was to allow us to fly farther so that the shrapnel of the shell would not accidentally injure our own people.

So the parachute jump went very smoothly, although we hung in the air one by one, and we didn't have the sense of security of hiding in the trenches at all.

Of course, there are still some of them who are holding AK47s and shooting at us, but this kind of strafing does not pose much threat to us, because the range of the AK47 is not enough, and secondly, we are not aiming for parachuting...... The reason why it is not big is because it is dark and the surrounding area of the high ground is tightly covered with thick smoke, and even under the illumination of flares, the Vietnamese army can only see white paragliders.

So paragliding is terrible. Many of them have been punched one bullet after another. But fortunately, this will affect some of the ability to land. But the skillful skydiving skills of the fighters and the fact that the open area was full of soft thatch more than made up for it.

If there are any drawbacks to this skydive. That is, to expose the secret weapon of "paragliding" in front of the Vietnamese army, and it will be difficult to use this trick to engage in special operations in the future.

As soon as I stepped on this open field, I felt that this mission was more difficult than I had imagined, because it was full of barthatch more than a man high, and as soon as a person fell into the grass, it seemed like a mud cow entering the sea, and it took us many experienced agents to assemble it.

However, everything has its two sides, although such terrain makes it easy for our army to be ambushed by the Vietnamese army, and in turn, the Vietnamese army is also easy to be ambushed by our army.

What gave us a headache was that at this time we didn't know where the trapped reconnaissance company was...... This is due to the radio blockade of the area by the Vietnamese devils. This is an old trick played by the Vietnamese army, and its main purpose is to make it impossible for our army to grasp the situation of the besieged troops and increase the difficulty of rescue.

After assembling, the number of soldiers was counted, and except for two fighters who were missing, and one soldier who was slightly injured in the foot, all of them were normal.

This loss was expected by me, after all, this was a parachute jump in the dark, and it was inevitable that some fighters would not be able to distinguish the landing point and land far away.

"Act as planned!" I looked at my watch and ordered: "Send out a reconnaissance detachment, assemble here in half an hour, and rest in place!" ”

"Yes!" The fighters answered, and soon divided into several reconnaissance detachments and walked in all directions.

This was planned before the war, in order to find the reconnaissance company in this vast thatched thicket.

It is clear that finding people does not require a large force to act.

In fact. The movement of a large force too dense in this thatch could easily expose the target and attract enemy bombardment...... If the light is good, the devil only needs to look down condescendingly from a high place. The location of the thatch in patches is obviously a large group of people walking around in it, and if a burst of artillery goes down, then we will have no place to hide at all.

So the best way is to divide into eight teams, each with three or four people going in different directions to search...... Of course, these members were good at tracking, and they were quickly able to determine the general direction of the reconnaissance company from the tracks in the thatch.

However, the truth is not as simple as I imagined, because there is no trace of the reconnaissance company we are trying to rescue.

Then it quickly occurred to me that this was probably the reason why the Yue Devils were also searching for them in this thatched field, so the reconnaissance company did its best to wipe out all the targets that could be tracked.

I couldn't help frowning, this would be troublesome, if we couldn't find them and join them in the shortest possible time, the Vietnamese army would most likely send troops to encircle and suppress us.

In fact, I believe that the Yue devils are already preparing to do this...... After all, the Vietnamese army had already seen the location of our parachute, and if it weren't for the lack of troops, it was difficult to make arrangements, and at the same time, it was easy to be ambushed by our army in the night and thatch, they would have done it a long time ago.

But this shape will soon change because of the dawn.

"What should I do?" Scar lowered his voice and asked, "I think it's better to shift the position first!" ”

Scar's consideration is reasonable, if you continue to stay here, it is very likely that you will be surrounded by the Vietnamese troops who will come later, not to mention the rescue reconnaissance company at that time, I am afraid that we ourselves will have to be rescued.

But after thinking about it, I shook my head: "Wait! ”

"What are you waiting for?" Scar couldn't help but ask, confused.

"Remember when we parachuted down just now, we attracted a burst of guns from the devils?" I said: "It was a flare and a bullet, and it was impossible for the comrades of the reconnaissance company not to see it." If my guess is correct, the comrades of the reconnaissance company should be on the way here, and it is very likely that we will lose contact with them completely with this transfer! ”

"Oh!" Scar couldn't help but realize when he heard this.

Now we can only hope that the comrades of the reconnaissance company will contact us one step faster than the devils.

While we were anxiously waiting, we heard a strange noise in the grass.

All the team members hurriedly lowered their bodies and stood guard in the direction from which the sound came......

The change in the direction of the abnormal sound was also clearly felt, and then a female voice shouted, "Which part are you from?" ”

As soon as I heard this voice, I was relieved, because it was Chen Qiaoqiao.

"It's me!" I shouted, "Yang Xuefeng! ”

"Battalion Commander Yang!" After a while, Chen Qiaoqiao, who was dressed in tattes and covered in mud, appeared in front of us, and when she saw us, she exclaimed in surprise and joy: "It's really you, we know that you must be here when we see the paraglider!" ”

"What about the other comrades?" I asked.

"The situation is dire!" Chen Qiaoqiao replied: "We have run out of ammunition and food, and we have been able to survive until now by sneaking up on the stragglers of the Yue devils......

"Without further ado." I handed Chen Qiaoqiao a compressed biscuit and said, "Take us right away!" ”

"Yes!" Chen Qiaoqiao didn't say much, and while tearing the biscuits and stuffing them into his mouth, he pulled his legs and walked in the direction he came.

In other words, Chen Qiaoqiao really listened to all directions and watched the six roads, and there were mines buried in several locations along the way, all of which were narrowly avoided under her reminder.

Later, I learned that this was not actually Chen Qiaoqiao's ability to see these mines in such a dark situation...... These mines were scattered in the thatch by the devils because they could not find the exact location of the reconnaissance company, and they were clever in doing so, as soon as there was thunder, it meant which direction the target was.

At the same time, Chen Qiaoqiao and other people in order to avoid the tracking of the Yue devils, even after encountering landmines, they did not rule it out, but just noted their locations and took a detour, the purpose of which was to make the Yue devils mistakenly think that this area was "safe".

"How far is it?" I asked.

"Ten minutes to go." Chen Qiaoqiao replied, paused and asked, "What is the breakthrough plan?" ”

"Break through to the south and break into the hinterland, and there are helicopters at the evacuation point to respond."

"Oh!" Chen Qiaoqiao nodded and stopped talking.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom", and an incendiary bomb exploded nearby and ignited a raging flame.

"Oops!" Chen Qiaoqiao shouted: "The more devils plan to attack with fire!" ”

Before the words fell, there was a burst of "boom", and I saw that the grass was full of incendiary bombs exploding, and in an instant, a large area of thatch was burned.

Chen Qiaoqiao is right, the more devils are indeed attacking with fire.

We didn't expect this trick, so it's not that the Yue devils have no way to deal with the reconnaissance company, they just need to simply burn the thatch, and the reconnaissance company will either be burned to death or have nowhere to hide. The reason why they didn't do this was just because they wanted to "surround the point and send reinforcements".

And now, their target, our agent company, has entered their encirclement, which means they can do it.

"It's no wonder that we haven't found out that the Vietnamese army has come in to surround us!" Scar scolded: "It turns out that they have already figured out a way! ”

"I'm in trouble!" Liang Lianbing looked at the thatch around him that was more than one person tall while running, and said in shock: "If this burns up, we will either be burned to death or smoked to death!" ”

"What do you say about not dying?" Scar couldn't help but scold: "Bad luck! ”

Although Scar scolded, there was nothing he could do about this situation.

I thought about it, then I stopped and ordered, "All of them, stop moving!" ”

"Battalion commander!" Chen Qiaoqiao said anxiously: "Let's join the reconnaissance company first, or it will burn up and disperse later!" ”

I looked at the fire around me that was soon burning and the Yue devils were still firing incendiary bombs, shook my head and said, "We need time to make some preparations, if we rush to join the reconnaissance company now, it will be too late!" ”

"Ready?" Everyone couldn't help but look at me suspiciously, this is full of fire and flammable thatch, what else can I prepare?! (To be continued......)
