Chapter 186: Chasing Soldiers

The first thing I did was to consult with Company Commander Luo and Company Commander Zhang, because after all, I was in the army, and it was not enough for me alone to resist the possible attack of the Vietnamese army, and it was necessary to give full play to the coordination of the entire unit and even the engineers and our combat units.

"Here's what I think!" I pointed to the map and said, "Our army announced the withdrawal of troops from the beginning of the day, which made the Vietnamese devils prepared. I think that from the moment our troops announced their withdrawal, they launched the pursuit of our troops. Of course, because the Vietnamese devils have been pressed and beaten by our army, it is impossible and difficult to break through from the front when there is a serious shortage of troops. So they could only bypass the jungle from the mountain road and attack our flank head-on, hoping to intercept our army's tail sweeping troops! ”

"Makes sense!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said, "If it were me, I would do the same, not only for the sake of intercepting our army's tail sweeping troops, but also for some important military facilities, such as bridges!" ”

It should be said that Company Commander Luo's words are exactly what I thought in my heart, this Hebian is not an important place in the first place, and the only reason why the engineering troops will be stationed here is the highway bridge, so the reason why the Yue devil will appear here is precisely because of this highway bridge.

Don't look at it as just a highway bridge dozens of meters long and wide, if a highway bridge like this is blown up by our army along the way, it will undoubtedly increase the time for the main force of the Vietnamese army to catch up with our army, and it is also the lifeline of the Vietnamese army's logistics supply.

This is just like the U.S. military often sends troops into the enemy's interior to occupy important military points in order to ensure the speed of the main force attack. The difference is just ...... The U.S. military used paratroopers, while the Vietnamese military used on foot.

"It's been four days since we announced the withdrawal of troops!" Company Commander Luo looked at the map and said worriedly: "If the Vietnamese army really has this roundabout and interspersed force. It's no surprise that it arrived at our location. So...... It was not a delusion that the second platoon commander had sensed the enemy situation last night. ”

"But ......" Company Commander Zhang still couldn't believe it. He said with some confusion: "Since the Yue devil arrived last night, then Weishenme won't attack?" If you want to attack a highway bridge, it's more appropriate to sneak attack at night, isn't it? ”

"It's because the Vietnamese army lacks strength and firepower!" I said: "The Vietnamese army has to march all the way in the jungle, and in order to ensure the speed of the march, it is necessary to advance lightly. Moreover, it is easy for the troops to get separated when they march in the jungle, so I think the reason why the Vietnamese army did not attack immediately last night...... One is for rest, and the other is for the build-up of troops. The third is to wait for the dawn ......"

"Wait for dawn?" Hearing this, Company Commander Luo and Company Commander Zhang couldn't help but be stunned, the first and second points are easy to understand, and the third point is waiting for dawn...... It seems a bit unreliable.

I nodded and continued: "If I were a Vietnamese soldier...... I will wait for dawn, because only at dawn will a group of our troops start to retreat, and then the Vietnamese army will be able to fish in troubled waters......"

"Oh!" As soon as I said this, Company Commander Luo and Company Commander Zhang quickly understood.

"Disguised as a retreating warrior of our army!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said, "This is an old trick of the Yue devil, but it is very practical!" ”

Who let us and the Yue devils are all Asian, they are all yellow-skinned and black-haired, and there are many people in the Yue devils who can speak Chinese, plus the retreating troops of our army are relatively chaotic. It's strange that someone didn't pretend to be our guy and fooled around.

"What then?" Listening to my analysis, Company Commander Zhang quickly became nervous: "We can't blow up the bridge now, there are still many of our comrades who have not crossed the bridge!" ”

"How many comrades have not crossed the bridge?" Company Commander Luo asked.

"This ...... I don't know! Company Commander Zhang's answer couldn't help but make me and Company Commander Luo faint.

"When was the order from your superiors to blow up the bridge?" I asked.

"Twelve o'clock at noon!" Company Commander Zhang replied: "Bomb the bridge at twelve o'clock at noon. Then retreat 12 kilometers and carry out a blasting mission on another road bridge! ”

"Then we'll stay until twelve!" Company Commander Luo said: "Try to ensure that your troops cross the bridge!" ”

I know that Company Commander Luo Weishenme will use the word "as much as possible" because we all know ...... If there are Vietnamese troops on the opposite side of the bridge, it means that it is very easy for the Vietnamese army to control the opposite road or road bridge with firepower, and it can even be said that only a few people and a few guns, plus enough ammunition are enough to block the entire road......

Therefore, the best way now is for us to pretend that we don't know, so that the devils will at least let a group of retreating troops come over.

"Is there a password for crossing the bridge?" Then Company Commander Luo asked again.

Actually, we don't need to ask this question at all, because we didn't need any passwords when we crossed the bridge yesterday.

Sure enough, I saw Company Commander Zhang shaking his head: "No one expected that the Yue Devil would come back here so quickly, so there was no password at all!" ”

In fact, even if you want to, you can't set it up, because these passwords can't be communicated to your own troops. Just like yesterday, it took a lot of trouble for our unit to contact its superiors.

"Then it's trouble!" Company Commander Luo couldn't help frowning.

I understand what Company Commander Luo meant, if the Vietnamese army disguises itself as our army to attack the highway bridge, and our army does not have the necessary password to identify friend or foe...... That means we have to check closely, and it also means that we have no buffer distance from the Vietnamese army, and even when we feel that something is wrong, the Vietnamese army has already crossed the bridge.

"It's not that hard!" After thinking about it, I replied, "First of all, two additional sentries will be added on the other side of the bridge to conduct a search......

The effect of adding sentries is obvious, which can avoid letting the disguised Vietnamese soldiers cross the bridge to give the troops a buffer distance, but Company Commander Zhang couldn't help but gasp, because this means that the two sentries are basically sent to death.

But this is also something that cannot be helped, if you are not willing to pay this sacrifice on the battlefield, then this battle will not be fought.

So I continued: "The focus of the investigation...... It is our infantry. First, most of our infantry had already retreated, and most of those who remained on the opposite bank were engineers. Second, the Vietnamese army could only disguise itself as infantry because of the weapons and equipment they carried. ”

"Well, that's a lot easier!" Company Commander Luo couldn't help but nod his head and agreed with my opinion.

So the preparations were quickly arranged, and in fact there was nothing to prepare, because our army's trenches and firing points had already been arranged last night, and we did not dare to make too many moves to arouse the suspicion of the Vietnamese army, so there was no change. There are only two things that can be done, one is to place two sentries on the other side of the bridge, and the other is to spread the news that the Vietnamese army may disguise itself as our army to carry out a sneak attack.

It's just that it's okay if this is not passed on, and as soon as it is passed down, the atmosphere of the entire army suddenly becomes tense. The tension came mainly from the engineering units, which had not participated in a frontal battle in a non-combat unit, especially when they were about to go home...... So although he didn't say it, he was secretly scolding his bad luck in his heart.

The two sentries, in particular, who had been placed on the other side of the river, were so frightened that their faces were bloodless and their feet were weak, and from time to time they looked at us and at the road, fearing that the enemy would come up at once and that we would leave them behind......

But this is actually not a shameful thing, who can face it calmly when they go to the battlefield? Who can be fearless at all? Even our troops who have come over on the battlefield will have pressure in their hearts, let alone them.

It's just that the battlefield is like this, and it doesn't happen because we're afraid, worried, nervous, or unwilling to fight...... The enemy will show mercy and not attack.

What should come is still coming, all we can do is to face it, face it head-on.

At about ten o'clock, a group of retreating troops came down one after another. They finished finishing the finishing touches on Zuihou and then mined them all the way. Of course, this group of troops had both sappers and infantry, and the infantry was the covering force of the sappers.

So the soldiers quickly got busy, and in order to seize the time to investigate, they quickly sent a few more sentries over.

As I said before, the engineer unit carrying the sapper shovel, mine, and folding submachine gun was quickly released, and the infantry had to ask which unit it was and which unit it was covering, and even let the engineer unit confront and confirm it.

I also watched with a telescope on the other side, and nothing happened until I saw that many of the infantrymen who appeared before me were carrying 56 and a half on their backs.

On this basis, I believe that they are their own people, and even if the devils are stupid, they will not be able to change the Ak47 in their hands to 56 and a half, and they don't need to say that they are not used to it, which will reduce their firepower to a great extent.

That's when a troop on the road came into my sight, and I noticed them...... This is because the marching speed of the troops is unhurried and looks very leisurely.

I know that they are deliberately pretending not to be nervous, they may have thought that the more natural they behave, the more successful they will be in disguise, but they don't expect it...... Our troops were all nervous because it was a group of retreats, just like how we crossed the bridge yesterday, and many of us were worried that they would not be able to go home if they didn't have time to cross the bridge.

So, their overly natural performance is different.

Look at the weapons in their hands, all AK47s, and the military uniforms are also clearly stained...... The so-called stains are clear, which means that the clean places are clean, and the dirty places are particularly dirty. The reason why this is so is because they have just changed into the military uniform, and they deliberately put those stains on it for the sake of camouflage.

So I had the bottom in my heart, and immediately shouted to the sentry on the opposite side on the walkie-talkie: "Let all the troops at the bridgehead come over, and when you are done, you will also retreat!" Move fast! (To be continued......)
