Chapter 130: Fire
I sat with the company commander in front of the map, confused. I can't rush and I can't rush it, and I can't hit it...... Is there no way at all?
At this time, the third battalion commander seemed to have a smug look on his face, as if to say: "Look, you also said that you are an experienced unit, and you can blow up the underground castle in Lao Cai, isn't it the same as me?" ”
Although he didn't say that, I could see something from the expression on his face, so I felt a little angry in my heart, and secretly said that this guy really didn't know the general situation, and he was still gloating at this time when he should be unanimous with the outside world. I knew that I was going to transfer him away, out of sight and out of mind, I blamed Commander Luo for loving to be a good person.
But I thought about it, it's better to let these three battalion commanders stay here, and let him see how I deal with the Yue devils in that tunnel!
"There will always be a way, it's up to you to think of it!"
Then I remembered what the old man used to say to me, saying that whenever I heard the old man say this, I usually hated the old man so much that I gritted my teeth, because the old man always put this sentence down when I needed help, and then ignored me......
What's the solution?
You can't rush in, and you can't hit ...... from the outside
That's just ...... Cut off the life resources in the tunnels.
This water and food can't be cut off, and the more devils store it in the tunnel! No one knows how long their reserves will last...... We can't just wait out here.
That's just ...... Air!
Right! Only cut off their air!
How do you break the air? To block their tunnels? Or go seal their vents?
It can be done. But it's too mentally retarded. It seems that the more devils only need to fire a few shots...... Or a small explosive pack. What we worked so hard to plug is broken!
But...... There has to be something that can block the air in this tunnel, and the more devils can't break it.
That's right! Why didn't I think of it...... This thing is the fire we've been using for the past few days!
Thinking of this, I patted my head and exclaimed, "There's a way!" ”
"Is there a way?" Lian Commander Luo's eyes lit up: "Damn it!" I'm just thinking about it now, and that's what I'm waiting for! ”
"What?" Listening to Company Commander Luo's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, how could he seem to be waiting for my way.
"Say it quickly......" Company Commander Luo urged: "Don't hang people's appetite!" ”
"Use fire!" I got straight to the point.
"With fire?" Everyone couldn't help but be confused when they heard this.
"That's right! It's just fire! I said, "We've already found the tunnel entrance and ventilation hole of the Yue Devil, haven't we?" So what if we put a fire on the tunnel openings and ventilation holes? ”
"What else?" Liang Lianbing asked a little strangely: "Will they die of heat?" ”
Company Commander Luo couldn't help but pat the head of the Liang Company soldier and said, "Fire will consume oxygen and make air inaccessible...... Will suffocate them to death, understand? ”
Liang Lianbing only then sighed...... But I was still confused.
I couldn't help but smile wryly. People in this era were not educated, and many people did not know that fire consumes oxygen, and may not even know that people need oxygen to survive. In their heads...... Maybe I think that as long as I have a little space, I can breathe, and if I can breathe, there is no reason to die......
"Go on!" Fortunately, Company Commander Luo was not so uneducated, he raised his head at me and said, "This method is indeed feasible, but I have to ask two questions. First: The space in the tunnel may be large enough, but the tunnel openings and ventilation holes are relatively small, even if we set fires, the devils only need to block these two openings tightly. The fire didn't do much either. The more devils can still rely on the air in the tunnel to survive for a while. Second: we can't guarantee that the devil doesn't have other vents, if there are other vents. I'm afraid it's useless for us to do this! ”
Everyone else was at a loss when they heard this, including Scar and the third battalion commander.
This may seem inconceivable to us modern people, but this kind of thing should not be special in this era...... The reason is that during the ten years of turmoil, even the teachers were beaten into stinky old nines, where would anyone still study!
I remember the old man saying it...... The soldiers of his time couldn't read the map and couldn't distinguish between the east, south, and northwest, and there were many people, and they were also cadres. A company commander Xiangshang asked for artillery support, and his superiors asked him to report the coordinates, and his reply was: "I know the coordinates of a ball, can't you just let the artillery hit in the direction of Dayang?" ”
If they knew these things, then it would not be surprising that they could not understand air, fire, useless work, and so on.
But I'm at least a modern person...... Although I don't have any advanced knowledge, Company Commander Luo's words are still not difficult for me.
So he nodded and said, "I have also considered these two questions, so ...... We'd better light the fire in the tunnels! ”
"Light a fire in the tunnel?" Company Commander Luo couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "What's the point?" If only you could really click in...... can quickly consume the oxygen in it, even if the devil still has a vent, it won't work! ”
It should be said that this is obvious, to use an analogy...... If we can seal the air at the vent and the entrance of the tunnel with fire, and then light some fire in the tunnel, then even if the Vietnamese army still has ventilation holes in other parts...... That's also far from water can't quench the thirst of the near, or it can also be said that ...... Because the fire head consumes air in large quantities and quickly, the Vietnamese troops in the tunnels can only survive near the vents that have not yet been ignited.
But after all, there are many monks and little porridge, and the air is so limited, but there are many people in the tunnel...... That's when it's time for us to rush in.
As for how to light the fire into the tunnel......
I just said a few words: "Blow up the vent with an explosive pack, then use an incendiary bomb!" ”
"Molotov cocktails?" At this time, the third battalion commander could interject, and he said with an expression of disbelief: "We also thought about using rockets to hit the incendiary bombs, but we failed to succeed several times, one is that the soldiers are tied to the rope and hung and cannot aim, and the other is inclined to launch easy ricocheting!" Couldn't hit ...... at all"
I understand the words of the third battalion commander, and it is impossible for them not to use such a useful thing as incendiary bombs...... But the accuracy of the bazooka is not high, and those fighters are still hoisted and staggered towards the target...... The results can be imagined.
However, that was only the method of the third battalion commander, not my method.
The first thing I called in was a batch of explosives packs and mortar shells, which, of course, were incurovary.
There is still no shortage of these things in the three battalions, especially since these three battalions also have a battalion machine gun company, so naturally there are mortar shells. This "model battalion for political work" is different, and the equipment is much better than ours. It's just that the three battalions are in a hurry to get here, so they don't have many shells with them, and I have to pick out the incendiary bombs from them...... The number was even smaller, and there were only thirty rounds of all of them. This is still the result of taking into account that incendiary bombs are suitable for jungle warfare, so they bring more.
But I don't need much, thirty rounds...... It's almost enough.
However, Company Commander Luo was a more cautious person, and in order to contact the regiment headquarters immediately in case, he asked people to send 200 incendiary bombs immediately...... If it was a rapid march, it would only be forty minutes from the camp, so I didn't have to worry about running out of Molotov cocktails.
It's just that the soldiers are puzzled by my action, which is easy to understand when it comes up with explosives, which is to blow up the tunnel. But bring up this mortar shell...... But no one knows what it's for.
"Platoon commander!" Xiaoshi asked: "What is the use of mortar shells?" We...... Can you still hit the devil's tunnel with a cannon on this? ”
"Why do you ask so much? Do your job! "I didn't have the heart to respond.
My soldiers are the most important things in Xiaoshi's heart, and now is the time to actively prepare for battle...... Do you have time to explain that much to him?
"Platoon Commander Yang!" At this time, the commander of the third battalion Wu happened to carry a box of ammunition and put it next to me, and when he saw that the commander of the third battalion was not nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll take care of your soldiers!" ”
"Thank me?" I couldn't help but be stunned, I was still having a temper with the third battalion commander just now, how could he still come to thank me.
Company Commander Wu sighed and said, "If it weren't for you...... I think I'll be honored with my men and my men by now! xiexie…… My fighters and I will keep it in mind! ”
Without waiting for me to answer, he turned around and walked away.
Looking at Company Commander Wu's slightly Cangsang back, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Even if it is a model battalion for political work...... That's the people, too! People's hearts are made of flesh, who would be willing to die in such an unknown way?
After doing that, I had a few more fighters tie ropes down the cliff and try it out......
But don't get me wrong, this time it's not for them to fight, it's just to measure the distance from the edge of the cliff to the vent.
It didn't seem difficult to do this, and they didn't need to shed blood, they just had to lower it to a point where they could see the vent, and then lower a rope to prepare the haode to the vent where it was...... The length of this rope is naturally the distance from the edge of the cliff to the vent.
Then I asked the fighters to take dozens of pieces according to this length...... Of course, the length of the rope corresponding to each ventilation hole is also different, and there are a total of five ventilation holes in the Vietnamese army tunnel, and we have made five copies in this way, and three copies have been made at the tunnel entrance.
Zuihou then tied explosive packs and mortar shells to the ends of these ropes...... That's all the preparations! (To be continued......)
