Chapter 174 Pesticide Factory

Just as Company Commander Luo and I had predicted, the reconnaissance units were sent out one by one, and one by one they came back disappointed.

The wells were either controlled by the Vietnamese guerrillas or had been poisoned, not to mention the springs on Heights 2681...... Many units of the Vietnamese army were ambushed in the jungle on the high grounds, and our reconnaissance units often fell into their ambushes before they could get close to their destinations, and as a result, they not only did not return with water, but also sacrificed several soldiers.

So the battle situation has obviously taken a 180-degree turn...... The Vietnamese army has changed from the original passivity to the current initiative.

Previously, the Vietnamese army was worried about being surrounded by our army, so they were in a hurry.

But now...... The Vietnamese army calculated that it would take about three days for the main force of the People's Liberation Army to reach this point, and the PLA troops stationed at the pass would be able to resist their attack without water.

So now it is us who are in a hurry, and the impact of no water and food is a great reduction in combat effectiveness.

Of course, the more devils will not let us have a good time, in order to speed up the consumption of our physical strength and the little drinking water left, they will come up to the 217 high ground from time to time to make a feint...... I have to admit that the Vietnamese army is very good at doing this, don't think that the Vietnamese army is a feint, so I don't take it to heart, if our army is careless, the feint attack of the Vietnamese devils will turn into a real attack at any time.

The side of the canyon I am stationed on is quite relaxed, after all, my defense of the canyon itself is to actively abandon the first half of the key defense and the second half, so the Vietnamese army's feint attack is completely inapplicable in this direction of the canyon...... We basically open the door to let the devils in, as long as you dare to enter, I have the confidence that you can't get out.

But the more devils are very fine. They just don't fall for it. From the beginning to the end, it was just arranging for a T62 to harass Taniguchi for a while.

It's just that the fighters on the 217 heights are not so comfortable. Again and again, they were forced to defend themselves by the Vietnamese army, in this back and forth movement and under the exposure of the sun...... So one by one, the fighters who fainted because of the excessive loss of water and the lack of replenishment were carried down.

"Platoon commander, let's just rush out and fight with the devils!" Seeing this, the bayonet couldn't help but be angry: "It's too breathtaking to fight like this, it's better to rush out and kill it!" ”

"Yes, platoon commander!" The other fighters also shouted one by one: "It's better to die than to die horizontally and vertically!" ”

"Fight with the Yue devil!"

……

I didn't answer, because I knew that the fighters were only venting their frustration when they said this, in some ways...... They behave like this because they don't see any hope of victory, or they can't see any hope of living. That's why I want to die for liberation.

But everyone knows that rushing out like this will only be in line with the devil's heart.

"There's something I find strange!" I ignored the angry soldiers, but turned my head to Chen Yiyi and asked, "Where did the Yue devil get so much poison to poison?" ”

No one has asked this question for a long time, but after a little empathy, you will understand: this river water is constantly flowing, and if the devil wants to keep the river water poisonous, he must keep poisoning the river!

If this devil has a lot of ammunition, I believe that the Soviet Union will supply them free of charge. But why did you get so much poison...... The more devils are full, have nothing to do? Or did they know that there would be today's battle, so they prepared so many poisons?

Chen Yiyi smiled bitterly and replied: "There is a pesticide factory in Sabah, which specializes in producing pesticides for the Vietnamese people to kill insects for their crops!" ”

"Oh!" That's when I realized, this is an agrarian country. It's not surprising that there is a pesticide factory. At the same time, the life of the devil is really fucking good, and this pesticide factory can almost be said to have reversed the situation on the entire battlefield.

Merely......

"Do you know where this pesticide factory is?" I rolled over and sat up. spread out a map in front of Chen Yiyi.

"Hmm!" Chen Yiyi nodded, pointed to a place and said: "It's here, a large brick house, because it is a pesticide factory, so it is in a relatively remote place!" ”

"Hey, platoon commander......" The bayonets complained again: "We're all dying of thirst, and you're still asking about pesticides ......"

"Don't make a noise!" I interrupted the bayonet's words, thought for a moment, and then stood up and said, "We may have water to drink soon!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but be stunned, and no one knew what this pesticide had to do with having water to drink.

I didn't explain anything to the soldiers, so I took the map and Chen Yiyi and ran to the regiment...... After walking out of the canyon, he saw that there were soldiers with chapped lips and listless everywhere, so he didn't dare to slack off and hurried all the way to the regiment.

When he came to the regiment commander, he saw that the regiment commander and the political commissar were facing the map with sad faces, so he stepped forward in three steps and two steps and reported: "Regiment commander, I have thought of a way...... Maybe it works! ”

"Oh, what's the solution? Say it! As soon as the regiment commander and the commissar heard this, they came to their senses.

"That's right!" I spread the map on the table with two clicks: "I just learned...... The reason why the devils can continue to poison is entirely because there is a pesticide factory here. If we contact our superiors...... Let the artillery blow up this pesticide factory, what else will the devil use to poison? ”

As soon as they heard this, the regiment commander and the political commissar were stunned, and after a while, you look at me, I look at you, and look at me with an expression of disbelief.

"Fuck it!" The head of the regiment slapped his head fiercely and blamed himself: "Look at my stupid ...... It's still the head of a group! I can't think of such a simple way, and I only have one tendon in my head...... not only made his soldiers suffer, but also sacrificed so many comrades in vain! ”

"I said Lao Huang!" The political commissar shook his head and said, "It's not that you're too stupid, you see hundreds of people up and down in our whole regiment...... Who would have thought of going here? ”

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Then the political commissar held my hand tightly and said, "Don't say much thanks, good comrade!" It's only been a few days...... You don't even know how many times you've saved us! ”

The regiment commander just glanced at me with a shy face, nodded gratefully, and then turned around and shouted: "Correspondent, contact the division headquarters for me immediately!" ”

"Lao Liu!" The political commissar explained on the side: "Remember to use the code, otherwise let the Yue devil intercept the telegram, I'm afraid there will be trouble!" ”

"Understood!" The head of the regiment went to arrange it without saying a word.

After a while, the regiment commander strode back, took the message in his hand and waved it at us, and said excitedly: "It's done!" The division headquarters is also anxious about our situation, but it is only because our army has been unable to help in the rear of the Vietnamese army, and now as soon as we hear our request, they will take the attack on the enemy's pesticide factory as their primary goal...... However, because it was impossible to accurately locate the Vietnamese army's pesticide factory, the superiors were worried that the indiscriminate firing of artillery would startle the grass and snakes, so the Vietnamese army would be prepared to regenerate the incident, so it was decided to send two reconnaissance units to the designated target in two directions to reconnoitre, and strive to find the target and destroy it within two hours! ”

"Good!" The political commissar clenched his fist and said: "The superiors attach so much importance to it, then the problem is half solved!" ”

"Commander, commissar!" I reminded on the sidelines, "When the time comes...... Even if the devils don't have poison to throw, they won't give up. I think...... It is very likely that they will divert the river to achieve the goal of starving our army of water. So...... I think we should be prepared in advance, in the gap between the time when the Vietnamese army is free of poison and the river is diverted...... We want to do everything possible to store enough water! ”

"Oh......" Hearing this, the head of the regiment couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded convincingly and said: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng is still thoughtful, I was almost carried away by this good news and made a mistake again!" ”

"Lao Liu!" The political commissar couldn't help but laugh and said: "I think we old guys are almost retiring, and now it's the world of young people!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The preparations were soon in full swing, and the soldiers were already thirsty and parched, and as soon as they heard that there would be non-poisonous water to drink later, they immediately moved all kinds of containers to the soldiers.

Needless to say, the kettles that I carried with me were all concentrated on both sides of the river to hold water, and other containers, such as pots and bowls from the cooking class, were all brought up and placed everywhere. What's even more amazing is ...... Several fighters also collected the bullet casings of the anti-aircraft machine gun and tied them into bundles with backpack straps, saying that the warheads of the anti-aircraft machine guns are 12.7 mm, and the caliber of the shells is really not small, and such a bundle can really hold a lot of water like a small bucket.

But then there was another problem that made me difficult......

It is true that the bombing of the Vietnamese army's pesticide factory can make their poison ineffective, but ...... The Vietnamese army may also have some pesticides on hand, which can maintain the toxicity of the river water for a period of time. During this time, the Vietnamese commander was likely to receive the news of the bombing of the pesticide factory and quickly made the decision to divert the river.

In other words...... That is, this time gap may be very short, but the most important thing is ...... We don't know when the water will be non-toxic. Poisonous water and non-toxic water can't be seen with the naked eye, right? It's impossible for us to take a sip and try it!

Other words...... It's hard to grasp this time gap.

However, this problem was quickly solved by Chen Yiyi......

When she heard me talk about this so-called "problem", she couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and then she looked at me and shook her head and smiled: "You are a ...... Such a big thing is easy for you to solve, how can such a simple thing not be enlightened?!! ”

I was a little unconvinced at first, but when Chen Yiyi casually picked up a handful of water from the river, and then caught a few ants and threw them in the water and put them in front of me, I had to be convinced.

That's it...... If you want to know if the river water is poisonous, of course, you don't need to drink a few sips, can you just try it with bugs? (To be continued......)
