Because the book friend said in the book review area: Isn't the second company where the protagonist is located the queen of the palace? Weishenme will return home before the rest of the troops.

I couldn't help but sweat when I talked about it, and I replied quickly after this question, but the book friends didn't seem to notice my reply, and gave different answers one after another......

The soldier explains again here: the main force retreats alternately by covering each other, which is mentioned in the book when describing the retreat, the main force retreats a few kilometers and then stops most of the side, and then retreats a few kilometers......

And what about the second company where the protagonist is located? After taking on the task of searching for the art troupe, there was almost no pause in the direct withdrawal from the mountain road, so it is not surprising that the country will be withdrawn before the main force, right?

Chapter 10: Go Home for Us

It can be seen that the Vietnamese army we are facing is a very experienced force...... They seem to be following our artillery fire in a very rhythmic process of covering, charging, and covering.

It's easy to say, but it's actually hard to do. Because the shells did not come with a complete regularity, or rather, there were traces of this pattern, because there were not many cannons used for artillery cover, at most a dozen...... This is not to say that our artillery is insufficient, but once the artillery fire for fire cover is fired, it means that it is very likely to expose one's position to the enemy's artillery, and the enemy will calculate the position of the artillery position according to the ballistics, and then use the artillery to cover our artillery position.

So, unless it's a large-scale offensive or the discovery of important enemy targets such as barracks, airfields, artillery positions, etc. In general, small mobile artillery groups are used for fire cover. In order to quickly shift positions after the battle.

Since the number of artillery pieces is limited. There will be a certain pattern when it comes to fire cover for the troops at the front...... Artillery has to be loaded and fired, isn't it? It takes time for shells to fly, doesn't it? So there is always some time gap after a row of shells.

Experienced combat veterans will know this pattern, so as soon as they wait for a strong shock from the ground, they immediately jump up and charge, and as soon as they hear the whistling of cannonballs in the air become sharper, they fall to the ground again.

The Vietnamese army we are facing is such an army...... What surprised me even more was that some Vietnamese soldiers would even ride the smoke and dust kicked up by the shells, or take advantage of the newly blown craters of the shells......

Later, I learned that this unit was actually the 316A Division under our command again and again...... Although most of their main force was annihilated by our troops at the pass, many of them escaped by taking advantage of the jungle and familiarity with the terrain. At this time, as soon as they heard that the Chinese soldiers were about to withdraw their troops, these remnants were assembled again. Even crying and begging, the superiors must give them a chance to take revenge......

So the road was narrow, and we met again on the battlefield.

I think that if the remnants of these 316A Divisions knew at that time that they had once again suffered heavy casualties under our Second Company, I was afraid that they would vomit blood without having to cheer up in this battle.

Of course, at this time, we didn't know that the other party was the enemy who had fought several times, but we felt that the other party's combat effectiveness was extraordinary, and this fighting style and tactical means seemed to be somewhat familiar.

The battle soon reached a fever pitch, and the warriors were red-eyed...... Shells exploded in front of the position one after another, and the Vietnamese troops rushed up from the smoke screen one after another, and then we beat them down one after another. After a while, the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers were piled up everywhere in front of this position.

"Company Commander Luo!" At this time, the deputy division commander shouted: "The 168th regiment has successfully crossed the bridge...... It's time to retreat! ”

"Can't be withdrawn!" Luo Lian replied loudly: "We have been stuck by the Yue devils, deputy division commander, you should withdraw first!" ”

Company Commander Luo's decision was of course right. The closest Vietnamese troops who rushed up were only a few dozen meters away from us, and many of them even rushed into a range of 50 meters and threw grenades at us...... If we retreat, then the next step is for the Yue Devil to follow in our footsteps to occupy the position on the top of the mountain, and then sweep at our backs......

"Deputy Divisional Commander!" Seeing that the deputy division commander was still stunned, Company Commander Luo shouted again: "You guys retreat!" ”

However, the deputy division commander still did not move, and then quickly gave an order to the guards beside him: "Quick, immediately transfer a battalion and a company!" ”

"Yes!" The guard answered and called into the walkie-talkie, while another guard ran backwards with the order.

It seems that the other guard is more clever, our army is only a few hundred meters away from the stone bridge, and there is still the sound of gunfire and artillery nearby, so it may be faster and clearer to use someone to convey the order.

However...... Company Commander Luo shouted at the deputy division commander with a dissatisfied tone: "Deputy division commander...... What are you doing? ”

In fact, I was also a little puzzled when I looked at the actions of the deputy division commander, at this time...... We can say that when we are stuck by a large Vietnamese army, sending another company up does not seem to have much effect, if it does...... That may just be to hold on to this hill for a little longer, after all, the difference in the number of enemies and friends is too great.

However, at this time, the deputy division commander's tone became tougher, and he shouted at Luo Lian Commander solemnly: "Luo Lian Commander...... Now I command you, and here I command! ”

The deputy division commander called me even more frightened: change the general in the battle...... What is the deputy division commander doing?

Soon a company of PLA soldiers came up under the leadership of the guards, and the deputy division commander did not allow the Luo company commander to oppose at all, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded the soldiers of the 168th regiment to enter the position...... At this time, there was no problem of confusion of command, because the command was in the hands of the deputy division commander, and we were not numerous, and there was enough space for the soldiers of the 168th Regiment in this hilltop position.

As a result, we couldn't help but feel the pressure lightened, and it was obvious that the Vietnamese army's charge had converged a lot under our army's firepower.

But what is clear is ...... This is not the way to go.

Because we all know that the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army will come up soon, and the artillery fire of our army should almost be transferred at this time......

As soon as my mind came to my mind, I heard another whistle of cannonballs...... As I expected, the Vietnamese army also mobilized artillery fire to suppress our troops.

Of course, the target of the Vietnamese artillery fire was not ours...... At this time, the Vietnamese army was charging towards our high ground, and if the artillery exploded on the high ground, the shrapnel fired in all directions would kill and injure their own people. Their target was the artillery in the rear of our army, and it is clear that during the period of bombardment by our troops, the Vietnamese army had calculated the location of our artillery positions.

As a result, our artillery fire soon weakened, and as soon as the artillery fire weakened, our troops stationed on the high ground suddenly felt the pressure again. Especially the Vietnamese troops from the flanks...... They have already begun to outflank our troops, intending to block the stone bridge.

It is not difficult to imagine that once the Vietnamese army blocks the stone bridge, then our troops will have only a dead end.

"Platoon leader, immediately shift the fire to the flank!" The deputy division commander hurriedly gave an order: "We must block the outflanked Vietnamese army!" The second platoon was responsible for suppressing the enemy on the right flank......"

Although the deputy division commander was decisive in command, we still did not understand what he was doing...... Is it possible for us to get out of this situation?

Then...... The deputy division commander gave an order that shocked us: "The high ground is under the command of Company Commander Li, we must block the Yue devils, and the second company will retreat with me!" ”

Now I understood that the purpose of the deputy division commander was to get me out of the battle.

"What?" Hearing this order, Company Commander Luo couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at the deputy division commander in surprise and said, "Deputy division commander...... Are you making us deserters? ”

"It's an order!" The deputy division commander shouted in a hoarse voice: "If you don't obey the order and withdraw from the battle, you are a deserter, and if you obey the order, you will retreat!" ”

"This is also a deserter!" Company Commander Luo also shouted a little out of control: "You pulled a company up to send us to death, just to let us retreat?" ”

"Company Commander Luo!" At this time, Li Lianchang, who had just been transferred by the deputy division commander, interjected loudly: "We all know in our hearts that if there is no ...... for you Our 168th regiment is long gone! Believe me...... Everyone in our regiment wants to come up and reinforce you, but they are afraid that acting without orders will cause chaos in the troops, so you can rest assured! Here we are! ”

"yes!" A soldier of the first company shouted: "It is the honor of our company to come up and replace you, go down quickly!" ”

"Comrade! Retreat, it's too late if you don't! ”

……

"Company Commander Luo!" The deputy division commander pulled Company Commander Luo to the flank, pointed at the Vietnamese army who was getting closer and closer, and said, "See for yourself...... Our troops may only be able to hold up for a few minutes, and in a few minutes this place will be surrounded, and we will not be able to withdraw if we want to...... If you don't withdraw, I won't withdraw, and my soldiers won't withdraw! You make your own decision! ”

Obviously, the deputy division commander's words suppressed Company Commander Luo, and you must know that if this deputy division commander is not withdrawn...... That ending is either to be killed by the Yue devil or to be captured alive. This is not just a matter of losing a commander, but the fact that the Yue devils can take the opportunity to make a big hype, saying that they have achieved brilliant results in the process of counterattacking the Chinese army, and have captured the deputy division commander of the Chinese army, Yunyun...... So it's going to turn out to be a political defeat.

So Company Commander Luo didn't hesitate any longer, gritted his teeth and ordered: "All of them, cover the deputy division commander to withdraw from the battle!" ”

"Yes!" The warriors answered, glanced gratefully at the warriors on the high ground, and retreated along the anticline with their guns in hand.

"Lao Li!" Before leaving, the deputy division commander shook Company Commander Li's hand and said apologetically: "I can only stand with you......"

"Chief! I understand! Company Commander Li nodded: "The family will please!" ”

The deputy division commander nodded wordlessly, then turned his head and waved at us and ordered: "Retreat!" ”

At the moment when the deputy division commander turned around, I clearly saw his tears......

"Comrades!" Just as we were retreating across the stone bridge, we heard several soldiers on the high ground shouting at us: "Go home for us!" ”

"Go home for us!"
