Chapter 128: The Attack of the Third Battalion
After we teased the 3rd Battalion, Company Commander Luo's tone was more than half of it. So he asked the instructor beside him, who had been silent, and asked, "What is the origin of these three battalions?" ”
Only then did I remember that Instructor Yu was sent directly from the headquarters to our company, and since these three battalions were the reserve units of the headquarters, Instructor Yu should know a little about this unit.
The instructor cleared his throat and replied with some embarrassment: "The commander of the third battalion is surnamed Wang, and he belongs to a certain regiment, and this regiment is a Red Army, and he has made meritorious contributions in the fight against Japan, the Kuomintang, and the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. It has been rated as a 'great meritorious regiment' and a 'first-class meritorious regiment' on several occasions, and in particular, this third battalion has excellent military qualities and a firm political stance, and is a well-known 'model battalion for political work'......"
"Oh!" When I heard this, I understood something.
What is a firm political stance, dare to fight, dare to kill, dare to fight, and be ideologically motivated, innocent, not afraid of sacrifice, etc...... But to be honest, these things may be able to improve morale to a certain extent and make soldiers fight bravely on the battlefield, but they are often unrealistic to be brave for the sake of bravery, and even cause some unnecessary sacrifices for the sake of bravery.
I may not have many people who would agree with these ideas in this day and age, but this is in modern times...... That's basically no objection.
For example, the old man, occasionally a few old subordinates came to see him, and when chatting with him, they would say something like this: "The soldiers of today are different from when we used to fight!" We used to fight...... If you come across an enemy bunker or a point of fire, you will be on it with an explosive bag or blaster. If this is still the case. It's not just that you won't be seen as a hero. There is also the possibility of being kicked out of the army...... Just report the coordinates and call for artillery support! A few shells can do the job. Why do you have to rush with a bag of explosives! ”
The old man would always sigh at this time: "Alas! What a change, we're all outdated! ”
And now, the 3rd Battalion in front of us may be such a politically firm unit.
But I want to...... I didn't believe that anyone would do such a brutal thing, until I saw several teams of PLA soldiers being arranged near the tunnel entrance......
"What are they doing here?" I asked.
Scar smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you see what they were doing?" Blow up the tunnel and rush in......"
"What?" I said incredulously, "Just rush in?" Isn't that a death? ”
"You won't rush in like this!" Company Commander Luo's answer relieved me, but I was only halfway relieved, and Company Commander Luo added: "They will throw a few grenades before rushing in!" ”
"Then how can you fight like this?" Although I don't have much affection for these 3 battalions. But I couldn't bear to see them trying to be so hard.
"Otherwise, what else can be done?" Company Commander Luo's rhetorical question left me speechless.
This problem seems to be a bit tricky, and it can be said that this can solve the Vietnamese troops in the tunnels with explosives packs, bazookas or flamethrowers...... Then no one believes it, the tunnels of the old street have already explained the problem, most of the tunnels of the more devils have waterproof, fireproof, anti-explosion and even anti-poison facilities, as for how the more devils are doing...... Just look at the authentic passages of Lao Cai.
This bombing, even the tunnel entrance collapsed, although the enemy can't get out, but we can't get in...... As long as there is water and food inside, the devils can survive, and we can only stare outside.
What is this water...... Let's not mention that there is no water on our mountain, even if there is water, the devil only needs to open a mouth to the other end of the cliff.
This fire prevention and anti-virus is even simpler. Just use a few sandbags to plug the tunnel entrance.
So there is no other way, if you want to quickly solve the Vietnamese army below. Someone still has to go in.
But this man went in...... I can't imagine what it would be.
Just thinking about it, the fighters of the 3rd battalion had already begun to move.
First of all, a few people put a small explosive bag on the tunnel entrance, and the reason why they had to install a small explosive bag was because they were worried that the tunnel entrance would collapse, and then they stepped back after lighting the fuse.
"Boom!" With a bang, several fires and smoke exploded.
Before the smoke cleared, several fighters rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel with grenades...... After a few seconds of throwing a few grenades into the tunnel, a squad of troops jumped down the tunnel with a gun......
I have to say that the fighters of the 3rd battalion are still good in terms of coordination, blasting for blasting, throwing grenades for throwing grenades, charging for charging...... Each has its own division of labor, each step is done in an orderly manner, and even each batch of people who go up and down have about the same time and action...... It is no wonder that it is called a force with excellent military quality and a firm political stance.
However, I don't believe they can achieve anything by doing so.
My idea was soon verified, and the troops of that squad jumped down one after another, and before they could reach the end of the cliff, there was a scream......
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, the commander of the 3rd battalion ran to the other side of the cliff to take a look, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "All biedong!" Mission Cancelled! ”
Company Commander Luo and I and the others didn't know what was going on, but one thing was certain...... The mission must have failed.
Later, I learned that this tunnel entrance is not something that can be jumped down casually, because the Yue Devil has opened this tunnel entrance with the cliff, and usually uses a board to block the entry and exit of his own people from the side wall, and when he is threatened by the enemy, he will remove the board...... So when the warriors jumped down, they went straight to the cliff......
I have to admit that it's a fucking good solution, so even grenades, bazookas, flamethrowers...... It's useless to do anything.
In this way, the commander of the 3rd battalion was angry, he wanted to show it in front of us, but he didn't expect that the battle would end just after the fight, not only did he not even touch the side of the devil, but he also lost more than a dozen people.
But at this time, we didn't make fun of the 3rd Battalion anymore, after all, they are all our own comrades, and the brothers can play on the wall but have to be outside, so just now we were still making fun of the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, and now we began to feel sorry for the sacrificed soldiers and hated the Yue devils.
But then again, this hatred is actually nothing to hate, let's go and kill the Yue devil hiding inside, can that person stretch his neck and wait for us to use the knife?
It's just that the 3rd battalion commander ran out of ideas at this time, and quickly summoned a few cadres to sit in front of the map to discuss and discuss, and they didn't discuss a result for a long time.
"Second Platoon Leader!" The company commander asked me with a serious expression, "Do you have a way?" ”
"Me? What can I do? "I can't help but sweat, the tunnel of the Yue devil is not easy to fight, I have seen this in Lao Cai, not to mention that this is still an artillery position that the Vietnamese army has planned to use as the regimental headquarters in a far-sighted manner.
"Alas!" Hearing this, Company Commander Luo couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, several cadres of the 3rd battalion seemed to have come to a conclusion, so they quickly began to work again.
How to fight it? The soldiers and I also wanted to know the answer, so we all craned our necks and waited.
It turned out that they were seen with ropes tied to the warriors......
"What are they doing here?" This time it was Company Commander Luo who asked.
In fact, there is no need to ask, no one knows what they are doing. It's just that no one thought they would dare to do that......
How dangerous it is to go down with a rope...... And does this work? It seems that as long as there is an AK47 guarding the entrance of the cave, the devils will come down and fight one by one!
However, we have no right to object, first of all, we are not from the 3rd Battalion, and secondly, the largest officer of our rank is only a company commander......
However, the people of the 3rd battalion do not seem to be fools, and they also know that there are ventilation holes at the cliff...... I think this is what the command told them, and Company Commander Luo once reported the discovery of cannon barrels.
So according to this information, the 3rd Battalion formulated a jihua for a two-sided attack.
Both sides are tied to ropes and the other side is lowered from the cliff. The other side is lowered from the tunnel entrance.
I have to admit that this jihua does have its own merits, after all, the more devils are afraid and didn't expect that we will look for flaws in the ventilation holes.
But...... I don't think this will cause much damage to the Vietnamese tunnels.
The reason is very simple, this side of the tunnel mouth can almost be said to be a dead end, so to put the soldiers down one by one is to send them to death. On the other side, the Vietnamese army may not be aware of the attack at first, but first, the ventilation hole is too small for the soldiers to get into, and secondly, the Vietnamese army seems to be very simple to defend, just move the cannon back and mount an AK47.
The battle situation was as I thought, and at the beginning of the ventilation hole, our army was able to take a small advantage, and it was said that after a burst of gunfire and a few grenades were stuffed into it. This also gave a great encouragement to the fighters of the 3rd battalion, and then a group of fighters was sent down.
But soon...... The vent was quickly blocked by rubble, leaving only a few small cracks and a gun hole, and the Vietnamese soldiers inside saw that there was a figure shaking outside, so they desperately shot outward.
So, a soldier was let go alive, and one by one he was hung up in blood.
The commander of the 3rd battalion also seemed to be red-eyed, and stood on the edge of the cliff desperately and shouted: "Up! Call me ......."
But after fighting for a long time, he didn't get anything, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse in my heart: Fuck it, is he called a war? He's urging his life! Don't take the lives of your soldiers seriously at all! (To be continued......)
