581 Heights ...... When we saw the 581 Heights again, we couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It's only been a day, and a day ago this 581 Heights was our home, a shelter for my survival, but now...... But it has become an enemy position, a high ground for us to capture.

It is not difficult to reach this 581 heights...... The focus of the Vietnamese army's attack was our 118th Regiment, and in other positions, such as the positions of the 117th Regiment and the 119th Regiment, only a small number of troops were attacking.

Attack in such weather...... The effect is conceivable, although the rain has not been heavy in the past few days, but the foot is a piece of mud, which can almost be said to be a kind of natural barbed wire that delays the movement of the Vietnamese army. In addition, most of the artillery of the nearby troops was deployed to the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, so the artillery available to other units of the Vietnamese Army was pitiful.

Then there was an inevitable result: the offensive of the rest of the Vietnamese army basically made no progress, and only the Vietnamese Fifth Infantry Division advanced a few kilometers to the north.

In fact...... I think this is a tactic of the Vietnamese army, and the other directions are just feints, the purpose is not to capture any high ground, but to make it impossible for our army to support the 118th Regiment.

But this will lead to the same result: the offensive of the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army will form a salient, a salient that will break through our defensive lines.

So...... It was actually very convenient for us to penetrate into the rear of the 5th Vietnamese Infantry Division, as long as we bypassed this salient, advanced from the line of the 119th Regiment and then inserted from the flank in a suitable position.

This area of the Sino-Vietnamese border is full of jungles and mountains, and the main roads and small roads have been planted by our army, and the Vietnamese army has no time to clean up. So it's not very difficult to do that. We just need to ask for a minemap from the engineering unit of the 119th regiment. Then follow the map and turn left and right in the jungle...... After more than two hours, we came to the foot of the 581 Heights.

Hide in the jungle. After I gathered the cadres of the company together, the guards spread out a special oversized tarpaulin over our heads...... The purpose of this is obvious, first, so that the light of the flashlight inside will not leak out, and second, to be able to block out most of the sound.

"Comrades!" I put a flashlight on the map and said, "Maybe everyone has already guessed that we're back again...... Our goal is 581 Heights! ”

Among the soldiers, except for the deputy company commander Zhang Zuoliang, everyone else nodded knowingly, with a somewhat complicated expression on their faces.

"Company commander!" Scar then said, "I really let you calculate accurately, we really have to go back to this 581 Heights!" ”

"yes!" The scholar nodded and said, "Fortunately, we have some arrangements on Heights 581 in advance. Otherwise, if we want to grab this 581 highland, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work! ”

"Some arrangement?" Zhang Zuoliang was confused when he listened to the words of the soldiers.

"That's it!" I explained: "Before the Vietnamese army launched the attack, we were stationed on the 581 heights, and we planted a batch of explosives in important parts of the high ground before retreating......

"Oh!" Zhang Zuoliang suddenly realized, and then said with a happy face: "Then this 581 highland is still captured?" ”

"The question is not whether you can take this 581 height!" I said, "It's whether we can hold it or not, and our superiors ask us to hold on here for a day......"

Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but gasp and hold on for a day without reinforcements...... This is the hinterland of the devils! There is no doubt that it will be besieged by Vietnamese troops from all sides......

"Comrades!" At this time, the instructor spoke: "The superiors will give us such an important task, that is the trust in us!" So we shouldn't think about whether we can hold it or not, to put it simply...... Even if you can't keep it, you have to keep it, and if you can keep it, you have to keep it! We are soldiers. As a member of the revolutionary ranks, we must be firm in our position. We must be determined to complete the task, even if it is bloodshed and sacrificed, and we must not hesitate to hesitate with doubts......"

I understood what the instructor said when I heard this, and what the instructor said was aimed at me...... This means that I am not firm in my position!

I couldn't help but smile lightly...... The instructor was clearly upset that I had been promoted to company commander so quickly, and that he was still an instructor, or rather...... He wasn't very suitable yet, and I was still a small soldier, and now I can be on an equal footing with him, so it's normal to feel a little unhappy.

But on this issue...... Some things, especially on the battlefield, are enough by determination alone. If you are determined, you can win the battle, and if you can survive...... Why don't we hold anything at this pre-war meeting, just talk about politics than determination!

The warriors are also people who have fought in battle, and of course they know these truths. In addition, in peacetime, on the battlefield, the instructor hides most of the time in the cave where the ammunition is stored to "guard the ammunition", and there are two guards to protect the ...... I had never suffered in this tunnel, nor had I experienced a battle with the enemy, so what he said naturally did not carry much weight. This can be seen in the ignorance of the soldiers, which makes the instructor very bored, and after a while of clichés, he stops squeaking.

"Here's what I think!" As soon as I took the instructor's words, the souls of the warriors who were about to fly away were quickly retracted, and their eyes were quickly refreshed.

It's not just because I'm their brother who lives and dies together, but because the warriors know it in their hearts...... If you don't pay attention to what the company commander says, it is very likely that it will directly affect your own life or the casualty rate of your troops.

The gap between this coming and going is so big that the instructor feels that he is superfluous, and his face is full of unhappiness.

But who cares about him then? If this is in the rear...... Then maybe someone will accompany him to say a few clichés, or to mix up with a cadre or something. But this is a battlefield where human lives are required, and who would want to joke with their lives for these forms of things.

"This battle is indeed very serious!" I said, "But there are still some things that are good for us, like the terrain...... How can we say that we have been confronting the Vietnamese devils on this highland for more than a month, and we are very familiar with every grass and tree on this highland, and even have a lot of experience of lurking at night, but what about the Vietnamese army...... It's basically just coming up! ”

"The company commander is right!" Liang Lianbing nodded and said, "Those Yue devils who are confronting us...... When the attack was launched, he almost died because of the grabbing of the hilltop position, and at this time it should be the soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Yue Devils! ”

"Hmm!" And I went on to say, "So that's our strength, use that strength...... It is not difficult for us to hold our positions at night. ”

"Yes!" Scar agreed: "After we take the 581 heights, we just need to fight as before, and use the inside and outside of the tunnel to cooperate...... Throwing grenades lurking outside and throwing grenades inside, the more devils come up, even if they are afraid of thousands of troops, they may not be able to take it! ”

"On the contrary, there is a possibility that the fight will become more and more chaotic!" The reader added: "Let them come a few more friendly casualties, and let's hide by and watch the excitement!" ”

"The only problem is the recruits!" I said: "Therefore, all units must clearly explain the main points of the battle to the recruits, especially those who are responsible for lurking outside the tunnels, because it is very likely that the whole unit will be exposed because of the small actions of one or two comrades...... This must be clearly implemented! ”

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

……

"The bigger problem is the daytime!" I said, "In the past, when we confronted the Yue devils on the 581 heights, we would occupy the hilltop position during the day to gain space for activities, but now...... We are in the encirclement of the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army's attack on us can be said to come from all directions. ...... if necessary The only way to do this is to hide in the tunnels and fight the enemy! ”

Hearing this, the warriors couldn't help but gasp...... You must know that in the past, the more devils could not find the exact location of our tunnels, it was entirely because the mountaintop position was in our hands during the day, and the more devils could only find it in the dark at night......

But now, we have to hide in the tunnel during the day to fight the Yue devils...... After being discovered by the Yue devils, didn't they play with them?

"Company commander!" The scholar said with a stunned face: "I also hide in the pit during the day...... So how to fight? ”

"Yes, company commander!" Liang Lianbing also said with a puzzled face: "This U-shaped tunnel is okay...... Small pit, as soon as you are discovered, throw a few grenades and you're done! ”

"Company commander!" Even Scar said, "You must know that our U-shaped pit can only accommodate more than 20 people at most, and we have three ...... If this was fine before, now we have more than a hundred people......"

"Let's take one step at a time!" I said helplessly: "The current task is to take the 581 Heights and defend it until dawn!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered.

Truth be told, this is the first time...... I had a feeling of helplessness about the battle that was coming.

How should we keep it during the day?

When resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the volunteers did guard in the tunnel under the Yankees' aircraft and cannons...... the movie "Shangganling", we have all been watching since we were children, haven't we?

But that was in North Korea, where the low temperatures meant that there was frozen ground everywhere, and snow often fell instead of rain...... Such a climatic environment gave the volunteers the conditions to dig an underground Great Wall on the high ground. It is said that at that time, there were warehouses and toilets in the tunnels dug by the volunteers!

But what about us...... There was rain everywhere and mud everywhere, and it would be nice to dig the tunnel like this.

It's just that what I didn't expect was ...... There is a saying that "there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge", and sometimes the war really has to go one step at a time! (To be continued......)
