"Battalion commander!" It didn't take long for Scar's voice to be heard on the walkie-talkie: "The enemy is running away!" ”

"Hmm!" I poked my head out of the crater and looked, and sure enough, I saw the retreating figures of the Afghan army everywhere in the dark night.

It is not surprising that this phenomenon will appear, after all, the Argentine army on the wireless ridge was suddenly attacked by our army and the SAS, and it was also flanked from both sides, and the Argentine army, which did not have much fighting, certainly could not withstand it.

On the other hand, fighting a war is such a thing as not condoning deserters, especially on the battlefield.

The reason is very simple, once there is a deserter and it is not stopped in time, then the soldiers who were still fighting on the battlefield will suddenly feel empty...... These people can be divided into two parts, one is that the original will to fight is not strong, but because of military discipline or a sense of honor and other issues in the middle, that is, the type that wants to run but does not dare to run.

Needless to say, this kind of person is fine, when he sees others running away, he doesn't have to think about it...... Why can't I run if everyone else can run?

It should be said that this type of people is in the majority, which is why it is often necessary to boost morale or set an example on the battlefield, the purpose of which is to enable this type of person to abandon the intermediate state and fight with an iron heart.

On the other hand, it is natural that they are fully mentally prepared before the battle and have made up their minds to fight the enemy to the death on the battlefield.

As mentioned before, such people are not the main body of any country's army, not even in the Chinese or Vietnamese armies, except for some elite troops.

But if when the timid and intermediate soldiers begin to run away. This kind of strong-willed person will be very helpless to find out...... It was pointless for a few of them to hold their ground on the battlefield, so they had to retreat.

I think that's what happened at Wireless Ridge now, where a small group of people who had escaped managed to escape to the second line through the Guò Rough Diamond Heights. This soon triggered the collapse of the entire line of the Wireless Ridge defense line.

There is only one way to avoid this situation, and that is to strictly enforce battlefield discipline, that is, to kill that small group of deserters on the spot at the beginning, so that the others realize that there is only one way to escape.

The point here is "at the beginning", and now it has developed to such a state that the entire Afghan army has collapsed, and it is clear that it is too late to enforce battlefield discipline...... Unless the Afghan army can make up its mind to kill all these deserters to shock the whole army.

Does the Afghan army have such determination?

Neither in history nor in the present reality.

This determined that Argentina would inevitably lose the Falklands and suffer the cost of defeat.

"All of them!" Looking at the scene in front of me, I immediately gave an order: "Stop the battle and retreat with them as if they were Argentine troops!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered without even thinking about it, and he had developed a habit of resolutely carrying out my orders no matter what happened to him, having fought with me for a long time.

"What?" Xu Jianping's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Retreat with the Argentine army?" Captain. This was not what had been planned, and Major Will wanted to know why! ”

I couldn't help frowning, but I could understand why Major Will would ask this at this juncture.

According to the original plan. We should meet the SAS troops at this wireless ridge, that is, meet with the SAS troops here, and then use the SAS as the vanguard to attack the Afghan artillery position four kilometers away as fast as possible...... In other words, we are now halfway through the mission of laying the Wireless Ridge, and the rest is basically led by SAS. As a result, Major Will, who was already negative about this mission, preferred that we continue to wait here for SAS. After all, SAS is a special forces. Joining them will undoubtedly increase our combat effectiveness.

"Major Will stays here to pick up SAS!" Thinking of this, I said to Xu Jianping: "You tell him to tell sùSAS, ignore the threat of the rough diamond heights, continue to attack the enemy's artillery positions as originally planned, and pay attention to identifying each other with a platoon!" ”

"Yes! Captain! Xu Jianping responded.

"Action!"

As soon as I gave the order, the soldiers followed me and crawled out of the bunker and "fled" backwards.

I should say that the darkness has helped us a lot, otherwise, I think our Asian face would be enough to reveal our identity.

Another factor was that the Argentine soldiers at this time were all trying to escape...... At this time, their attention was completely focused on the enemy who might catch up behind them, and where would they have thought that the "comrades-in-arms" around them would still be enemies.

So there was a dramatic scene on the battlefield: the two opposing sides ran together in such harmony. Sometimes they even help each other...... Of course, this help is actually done by us to disguise our identity. Holding a few Argentines on the road who are injured or unable to run is enough to confuse people and make it impossible to tell the real from the fake.

After the war, when Tom recalled this scene, he exclaimed: "At least one thing I think Major Will is right, the colonel is a madman, because I don't think any normal person would give this order, and even more unimaginable...... And we even succeeded! ”

"They (Chinese soldiers) do a lot of it!" Xu Jianping described it this way: "When I saw them running away with the Argentine soldiers so naturally, I almost had a feeling of recognizing the wrong person, but when I saw that they had a white towel on their shoulders, I was sure that I was wrong!" ”

Ten minutes later, we ran to the rough diamond heights, and then there was an accident......

With the sound of gunfire in the sky on the rough diamond heights, a sound amplified by a small horn sounded above.

Although I don't understand Spanish, I can guess that this is what the Afghan army in the rough diamond heights means to stop the deserters.

This is not to say that the Afghan army wants to let these deserters return to the Wireless Ridge to continue fighting, but because by this time they have realized that there is a high probability that these deserters will be mixed with the enemy.

They should know that too.

One is because the platoon of the Liang Company has been exposed, so it is obvious that the rough diamond will be attacked by the disguised enemy, and the wireless ridge will naturally be.

Another and more important thing is that the Argentine snipers in the rough diamond heights are equipped with night vision devices, so they can clearly see the chaos on the wireless ridge, so they can also guess that there is an enemy mixed into the troops of the wireless ridge.

Therefore, for their own safety and for the sake of the rough diamond position, they must stop the deserters and take a certain amount of time to identify friend or foe.

At first I didn't know how they would identify them, but when I saw some deserters lying on the ground, I realized that something was wrong...... They are letting the deserters lie down and then climb on the rough diamonds.

There is no doubt that this is a good idea, on the one hand, it will not block their view, and on the other hand, so that the deserters will not be able to attack the defense line of the rough diamond mountain, but will slowly go up in batches to be "tested".

Of course, I wasn't going to wait for that to happen, so I immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Action!" ”

Then, he casually pulled a grenade and threw it at the group of deserters in front of him......

Suddenly the sound of gunfire, explosions, and the panicked shouts of the deserters mingled, and just then another burst of gunfire was heard from the direction of Wireless Ridge...... SAS has rushed to the top of the hill on Wireless Ridge.

So the deserters quickly became a mess, and in a hurry to flee for their lives, they would not bother to lie down and identify these problems, so they ran to the rough diamond position, shouting Spanish as they ran, hoping to prove their identity.

But what is clear is ...... In the darkness of the night, and with such a dense crowd of deserters, shouting was of little use.

At this time, the Afghan army guarding the rough diamond heights soon found itself in a dilemma.

Is it better for them to shoot or not to shoot?

If you shoot, then it is very likely that your own people will be killed, and it can even be said that the vast majority of them are your own people.

If they don't shoot, what awaits them is to be infiltrated by the enemy into their high ground, and it will be obvious what the outcome will be...... The qiē that happened on the Wireless Ridge would soon appear on the rough diamond heights.

Just when I led the soldiers to rush up with the deserters, thinking about the choice that the rough diamond Afghan commander would make, a surprising scene happened to me...... The Argentine defenders on the rough diamond actually joined the ranks of the fleeers.

To be precise, they did not join the fleeing band, but fled in the direction of Port Stanley ahead of the deserters.

It may seem a bit incredible, but when I think about it, I think maybe it was the right choice.

Because it is obvious that at this time, the rough diamond mountain can no longer be defended

Not to mention that the current Afghan army is already inseparable from friend and foe in this area, even if they can still identify friend and foe...... Rough Diamond Mountain is just a small hill, this hill is more suitable as a support position for Wireless Ridge than not suitable for holding, and at the same time, it can't accommodate so many people, not to mention that they know that they have to face the British special forces SAS.

Of course, at this time, they didn't know that we were not SAS, they just had a lesson from the past...... The British army attacked the port of San Carlos because SAS disguised itself as a shepherd and mixed in to cause sabotage, and this time it was to help SAS break through, so the Argentine army took it for granted that we were also SAS.

Therefore, the Argentine army in Rough Diamond Mountain made the choice to escape is actually quite wise, but as a Chinese soldier, I can't adapt to seeing too much of each other's death rather than death on the battlefield in Vietnam. (To be continued......)
