Chapter 167: Flares
Chapter 167: Flares
The people who come down from the battlefield to rest can be divided into two types, those who can sleep and those who can't.
There are different things that can be slept, some people can't stand it on the battlefield because of physical exhaustion, but they have to persist because of the pressure of the battlefield, so they find a place to lie down and sleep whenever they have time to rest; What about some people...... It is a purposeful recovery of physical strength to prepare for the next battle, and our troops can do this, but I am afraid that there are only two people, Chen Yiyi and Scar.
There are also two kinds of people who can't sleep, one is because of fear and nervousness, which is more common in the army, after all, most fighters are new recruits. Another ...... It's just that there is always a little uneasiness in my heart, there is always a little bit of anxiety, always worrying that the next moment the enemy will capture the 217 heights and then string us on the bayonet...... Company Commander Luo is obviously one of them.
"Company commander!" Seeing that Company Commander Luo looked at the 217 Heights from time to time, I handed him a cigarette: "Rest assured, the soldiers of the 447th Regiment will be able to hold it, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps!" ”
I know very well that the reason why Company Commander Luo is like this is that he doesn't believe in the combat effectiveness of the 447th Regiment. But this is understandable, this is the life of all of us, and we don't know much about the 447 regiment, so it is impossible to say that it is completely assured.
"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo nodded, and sat down and leaned against the trunk behind him.
In fact, any unit that is tasked with interspersing will not be bad, otherwise it will not be used to intersperse that it will not be to send it to death?
It is said that this 447 regiment is still a somewhat well-established unit...... Our troops always pay attention to bloodlines, the so-called bloodlines. It is about the origin, history and traditions of this force.
That's exactly what happened. When the superior leader talks about which unit. I will always say what kind of Red Army this unit is, what battles it has fought before, and what merits it has made.
It's a bit hard to imagine for someone like me who has never been in the army before, because I think it's ...... What battles have been fought and what merits have been made in the past does not mean that this unit can fight now, it depends on the quality of the troops, right? The enemy will not tell you what history has to offer.
But...... I'm starting to understand some of this now.
For example, a Red Army regiment that has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in history...... This regiment naturally bears the unique style, fighting temperament and honor dyed red with blood inherited from its ancestors. It is precisely because of these honors that once these units lose to other units in military district competitions or exercises...... Needless to say, I feel that I will be embarrassed by the troops, and I will be ashamed of the seniors who fought bravely in the troops.
This 447 regiment is such a blood-based unit, it is not a red-rooted Red Army. On the contrary, it is an out-and-out ragtag army.
According to the health officer of the 447th Regiment, there were many elements integrated into this unit in history, including peasants, workers, Kuomintang soldiers, and even bandits. However, this is the kind of unit that has relied on the blood and fire of officers and men from generation to generation, and has finally been refined from the so-called "miscellaneous cards" into an iron-fisted unit that is called "invincible and undefeatable" by the superiors.
So, we have every reason to believe in their combat effectiveness.
It is important to believe in your comrades-in-arms on the battlefield, otherwise...... Our company is only afraid of being tired, and we will be tired to death.
Company Commander Luo took a few puffs of his cigarette fiercely. The collapsed nerves relaxed a little at this time, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?" ”
I only had a wry smile. It's not that I don't sleep. I had been asleep for a while just now, but the gunshots rang out in the direction of Heights 217...... I woke up in my dreams, grabbed my gun, and crawled on the ground, and only when I saw that I was surrounded by my own people, did I vaguely remember that I was behind......
The sound of gunfire has developed a conditioned reflex.
There is a haode side to this, and there is a bad side. Haode is the one that allows me to react quickly on the battlefield, and the bad one is that I get nervous when I sleep.
"Homesick?" Company Commander Luo's question made me stunned.
"Home......" I smiled wryly, "I don't even know where my home is!" ”
Company Commander Luo looked at me unexpectedly, and then sighed and said, "I can't see it...... I thought you were a character like you, not a hooligan but also a fancy man, but I didn't expect to be an orphan......"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but lean in my heart, how can I be like a hooligan, how can I be like a flower.
But let's be honest...... By the standards of this age, I seem to be up to the standards of a rogue.
On the other hand, I also knew that Company Commander Luo understood what I had just said to mean that I was an orphan...... I want to explain but I don't know how to explain it, and after thinking about it, it's good to understand it this way, and it will be a lot less troublesome.
"But...... Maybe it's still a good thing to be like you! Then Lian Commander Luo sighed again and said: "There is a saying that homelessness is light, there is no one to worry about, and my heart may feel better!" ”
"The company commander is a family?" I asked.
"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo nodded: "I have two children, a boy and a girl!" ”
I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard this, seeing that Elder Luo Lian was in his early twenties, if it were in our modern times, it would be considered an early marriage, but I didn't expect to have two children.
But it's not surprising to think about it.,At this time, Jihua's childbirth hasn't started yet.,Many people's concepts are still more than liliang.,Everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high......
"Look!" Then Company Commander Luo took out a photo from his personal pocket: "When I was about to go to the front line, my lover wanted to take a family photo because he was dying." Promise...... This is my lover, this is my two children! ”
This is a black-and-white photograph of a standard family of four, the wife wearing a ponytail and arguing that she is indeed well-dressed, the husband is in full military uniform, a little boy is standing in front with a happy and proud face, and there is presumably a girl...... I was holding my wife in my arms......
Seeing me, I couldn't help but be moved, and said, "Sister-in-law...... I just gave birth! ”
"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo nodded: "The confinement is not over yet!" ”
As he spoke, Company Commander Luo put the photo on the stone next to him, squinting and looking at it silently...... After a while, he fell asleep, and the cigarette was only halfway smoked between his fingers.
I quietly helped Company Commander Luo extinguish the cigarette butt, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: If this soldier who fights on the battlefield still drags his family and mouth, the pressure is indeed much greater than ours.
So I couldn't help but think of Chen Yiyi...... Turning her head, she was sleeping soundly not far away, but I was afraid that she was tired from the battle in the past few days. It's really hard for a woman to fight and die on the battlefield.
Then I thought of Zhang Fan again...... If she hadn't died, would I have cared for her as a relative? Will she be just as concerned about me?
Sometimes...... I don't think there is anyone to worry about, where would Company Commander Luo experience the pain of being alone.
Thinking about it, I don't know when I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and the first thing I did was pull someone around me to understand the situation.
"Don't worry, platoon commander!" The scholar replied: "The comrades of the Fourth Company fought very well, and the Yue devils were beaten down by them several times!" ”
"Hmm!" I didn't believe the reader's words, and then turned my gaze to the company commander.
The company commander nodded and said: "The Yue devils are still very disciplined, the first few times were tentative attacks, and then maybe they found that we had changed our defenses, so we launched two more fierce attacks, but they were all beaten down by the soldiers of the fourth company." ”
When Company Commander Luo said this, I have a great understanding of the battle process, and some people may be surprised...... Why did the devils find out that we changed guards? Isn't that the same as shooting a grenade on a position?
But in fact, there is a real difference, each unit has its own style, such as our second company...... Because I have fought a few battles before, I dare to put the enemy closer before fighting, and for example, there is me as a sniper...... All of this will cause a completely different psychological pressure on the Yue devil.
The more devils are also mixed up on the battlefield, of course, you can feel the difference. Therefore, of course, we will know that the combat effectiveness of this unit is not as good as ours, so of course we will launch several onslaught attacks on the 217 heights......
It's just a pity that at this time, the canyon has been blocked by two tanks, so the Vietnamese army can only attack from the 217 heights, so they can only use their bodies to face the bullets of the fourth company.
I think the more devils must be regretting it at this time...... If they waited for the fourth company to defend the 217 heights before launching a sneak attack on the canyon with T62, they might have succeeded.
"As soon as it gets dark, the more difficult it will be for the devils to attack!" Company Commander Luo continued: "The Yue devils also launched several attacks, but they were quickly beaten back by the Fourth Company because of their poor vision, especially the comrades of the Fourth Company also found a few boxes of flares in the tunnel......
"Oh!" I was relieved to hear this.
The use of flares at night is not small, our troops have a condescending position and flares illuminate the position of the devils, so needless to say, this battle will know who has the advantage.
Before Luo Lian Chang's words fell, he heard another gunfire from the direction of the 217 Heights, first a few intermittently, and then soon a ...... The bullets were accompanied by dazzling flares.
Even though we were on the other side of Heights 217, we were still illuminated by the flares.
After more than ten minutes, the gunfire slowly stopped...... I couldn't help frowning, did the attack of the Yue Devils only last for a while?
If this is really the offensive of the Vietnamese army...... So what's the point of them attacking like this? Isn't that just sending a few soldiers up to die? (To be continued......)
