Chapter Eighty-Three: Mount Faka
We spent five days in Ba Dong......
In the past five days, we say that we have rested, but in fact, there is some idleness...... On the one hand, because we live under the strict protection of the 337th Regiment, it is a little inconvenient...... For example, if we get up in the morning and go cross-country for a five-kilometer cross-country according to our custom, the scouts of the 337th Regiment will have to rush ahead to reconnoiter the route we are going to pass......
This would have been fine, but the problem is ...... The five-kilometre trail we chose is not an ordinary path, there will definitely be some cliffs to climb, and there will definitely be some rivers to swim across, and even to make it more difficult...... We'll also choose some steep and difficult highlands.
That's nothing to us...... We usually practice like this, the difference is that the geographical environment in Yunnan will be harsher, but this is just a little more time for us.
But for the scouts of the 337th regiment it was a different matter entirely...... They were supposed to be scouts, and they were supposed to get ahead of us, and we did let them go for a while, and it didn't take long for us to catch up with them...... Especially when climbing steep walls, where the Scouts would be the opponents of our trained soldiers...... they were left behind with a few "whoops", and many of them even managed to reach the top with our help.
That's when the fighters of the synthetic battalion came to a prank...... They don't really like to have troops protecting them like this...... As Scar said, it made him feel weak...... It's a protected object!
This is also the reason why the soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion deliberately taunted these scouts...... I don't know who came up with the idea, but after climbing the cliff, they climbed down from the other end in a few clicks...... If only in normal times. When you go down, you will practice rope descent by the way. Tie in a rope and slide down...... But this time they weren't. Even though there was a rope and it was not tied, he climbed down step by step with his hands and feet......
This time, the soldiers of the 337th Regiment were dumbfounded, climbing the cliff and this thing...... It is often more difficult to descend than to go up, and they don't have ropes...... So I can only look at me and I look at the cliff on that mountain!
The warriors on the cliff looked at it and were happy in their hearts...... Doesn't it mean to protect us? See what you can do to protect us!
Later this reconnaissance platoon ...... It took me a few hours to find my way back to the camp until it was time for lunch...... This is the case in some highlands in Yunnan, where climbing is much shorter than finding the way down, and of course much more difficult!
Although this is just some prank by his soldiers...... But it also made Zhang Liangliang and the others nervous for a while, because the reconnaissance company was still lost on the way...... This place in Yunnan is indefinite. Even if it's a lost soldier...... It is also possible to fall or get bitten by a poisonous snake.
That's why it's ...... Sometimes I feel ...... Isn't it too much for these soldiers to do this prank, after all, people also have good intentions!
But when I think about it...... Maybe it's because the soldiers don't take it seriously, thinking that the Scout should have the ability to come back on their own, so that's why they spoof like this!
So I reprimanded them verbally, and then asked them to apologize to the scouts......
But who wants to ......
The scouts' faces were both embarrassed and admiring, and not only did they not blame us...... He also held the hands of Scar and others and said: "Comrade, you have let us see the gap today, thank you...... In the future, we will train well and strive to become a unit like you! ”
This may be the so-called no-fight, no-deal...... It's just that in this way, I'm really a little embarrassed to let the troops continue to practice like this. So I lowered my requirements and changed it to a five-kilometer cross-country for ordinary troops, so let's take it as a break!
On the sixth day, the command finally came......
I was bored grabbing my sniper rifle to wipe ...... Now I'm the commander of a battalion. The chances of using this guy are very rare, but I can't bear to hand over this gun...... has been living and dying together for a long time, even if you know that it is just a gun, you will have feelings.
And...... I don't know if it's because I've relied on it for a long time or what, as long as I'm around it or in my sight, I will have a sense of security, if I can't see it...... There will be an inexplicable emptiness in my heart.
I think...... Many soldiers will feel this way when they are demobilized, and this should be one of the manifestations of battlefield syndrome!
So I've always kept this gun...... Usually carried by the guards, occasionally take it out to practice, and maintain it when you are bored!
At this time, Zhao Jingping walked up to me with a telegram and said, "Battalion commander...... The order is down, and this is the destination......"
I took the telegram and read it, it read: "Immediately rush to Pingxiang, Guangxi......"
"Guangxi Pingxiang?" I couldn't help frowning when I saw something, this is for us to rush to the scene...... Just finished fighting in Yunnan and went to Guangxi to fight, is this going to save someone? It's not a good job...... We have already suffered more than a dozen casualties in the last battle, and a few more such battles...... My troops can't afford to toss like this!
But my gut told me again...... This time it may not be as easy as I thought, because the order seems to be simpler, and there is no mention of what mission we are going to do......
After all, I still told Zhang Liangliang about the order of my superiors and asked him to arrange the itinerary, and at the same time strictly ordered him to keep it secret...... I think Zhang Liangliang, the staff officer, should also know the truth, so I don't need to explain it too clearly!
What will be the task?
When Zhang Liangliang went to arrange...... I habitually opened the map and found Guangxi Pingxiang on the map...... It is a city bordering Lang Son in Vietnam and is known as the southern gate of the motherland...... During the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the troops of our army in the Guangxi direction penetrated directly into Lang Son in Vietnam from here!
So...... It's not surprising that there will be war in this place.
In other words...... That is, there are fighters everywhere, and everywhere there is a place where we may be needed...... With just one map, I can't guess what this mission is.
But just as I was about to close the map...... Suddenly, a familiar word jumped into my eyes...... Mount Faka.
So I knew what the purpose of going to Pingxiang this time was...... The battle to reclaim Mount Fakka is about to begin! (To be continued......)
