Chapter 221: The Ditch

"Stop!" Just when the fighters wanted to rush to help, I gave the order in time to collect the team.

It's not that I don't want to go up, it's that I can't...... If we go up, it will be playing into the tricks of the Vietnamese army agents, because it is obvious that ...... The Vietnamese agents knew that they were outnumbered by the Chinese in terms of strength, terrain, and timing, and that their only hope of escaping at this time was to fish in troubled waters.

What happens if we go up too?

Now we can at least tell which ones are enemies and which are our own people...... The enemy is facing away from us, and his own people are facing us, so that the reconnaissance company can also kill the enemy with free hands...... In front of them are all enemies!

If we just rush up and fight around...... That's the end, the reconnaissance company doesn't know whether it's the enemy or its own people in front of them, so it is very likely that the result will be more and more help, and even let many Vietnamese soldiers escape.

"Battalion commander!" Seeing some Li Zuolong, he couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Are we just looking at it like this?" ”

I know what Li Zuolong is worried about, the reconnaissance company is a newly formed unit, although they are all soldiers selected by the border defense division, but because they have just formed and are not familiar with each other, their combat effectiveness is not very strong, and if they continue like this, they are likely to suffer a lot of casualties.

Not to mention...... We are a company of agents, how can we watch our allies fight with the enemy like this and stand by ourselves, even if it makes sense, we will be blamed by the friendly forces, and even say that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, ignoring the friendly forces!

Of course, I won't let the battle go on like this, and after thinking about it, I ordered: "The second platoon fires block the canyon, and the fifth platoon fights!" ”

As soon as I called this the fighters, it quickly understood...... The canyon is the direction leading to the Vietnamese army. Of course, our soldiers will not run to the canyon. Therefore, anyone who runs to the canyon is undoubtedly the Vietnamese army. It's all about killing.

As for kicking...... The reason why we did not dare to shoot was because we were afraid that the bullet would penetrate the body of the Vietnamese army and cause secondary damage to the fighters of the reconnaissance company. But it's not the same with kicks...... We were shooting from standing, and the trajectory of the bullet flight had an angle of inclination, and even if it penetrated the foot of the Vietnamese army, it would quickly shoot into the dirt, and the probability of causing secondary damage to our army could be said to be very small.

Gunshots soon rang out...... The first to be cleared by bullets was in the direction of the valley mouth, and some Vietnamese soldiers who wanted to escape into the canyon in the chaos were beaten into a sieve by a rain of bullets before they could hide in the smoke. This was followed by the screams of other Vietnamese soldiers...... Our army is only a few dozen meters away from the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army can be said to be right in front of us, so even if the feet of the Vietnamese army are as thin as bamboo poles, our army can still knock them to the ground one by one. In particular, the Vietnamese army was also accustomed to playing barefoot. And they had just crawled out of the ditch, and the dirty mud on their feet was particularly recognizable in the white mist.

As a result, the battle between the reconnaissance company and the Vietnamese army agents was quickly decided...... It's just that these Vietnamese agents are also quite the bones, even if they are shot in the foot by us and lose their ability to move, they still lie on the ground and continue to hold guns and shoot or throw grenades at the reconnaissance company, and even some Vietnamese agents pull off the glorious bullets tied to their bodies when they know that they are dying.

As a result, we had to shoot the Vietnamese agents who were lying on the ground one by one to make sure they were really dead...... The result of such a battle was that we did not capture a single prisoner, and the ground was covered with blood and dead bodies.

"Battalion commander!" Company Chang Zhang of the reconnaissance company walked up to me with a bloody face, looked at the corpse of the Vietnamese army on the ground, and said with palpitations: "These Vietnamese agents are really fucking capable of fighting, and we have beaten a lot of Vietnamese devils, and we have never seen such a quick reaction and such a difficult to deal with...... If it weren't for you. Maybe we won't be able to stop them! ”

"That's normal!" I handed Company Commander Zhang a cigarette and said, "Otherwise, how can they call agents?" What do you think? The casualties are not big! ”

Company Commander Zhang tugged at the corners of his mouth...... Somewhat embarrassed replied: "The casualties are not small...... Watch the Vietnamese agents walk into the ambush circle...... I thought there was no suspense in this battle, but I didn't expect it to be like this! ”

"You can't say that!" I comforted: "Everyone is a veteran of more than ten years of fighting. And it's still the best of the best, it's not surprising that it will be like this, don't have too much psychological burden! ”

"Alas!" Company Commander Zhang sighed and shook his head.

Actually, I know what Company Commander Zhang thinks...... He felt guilty for those comrades who had died!

But the battlefield is like that, and you have to pay a price to kill the enemy yourself......

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company were obviously not satisfied with this result, so they indignantly opened their bayonets and examined the Vietnamese soldiers on the ground one by one......

At this time, I couldn't help but say "huh".

"What's the situation?" Company Commander Zhang asked when he saw that my face had changed drastically.

"It's fine!" I pretended to be calm and shook my head, deliberately holding the cigarette in my hand and scolding, "Damn it...... The smell of this smoke is a little wrong...... Did you buy fake cigarettes? ”

"Fake cigarettes?" Lian Chang's face was full of doubts, but when he saw me glaring at him, he nodded and replied, "Hmm...... When you say that, I also feel that something is wrong! What kind of immoral ghost did ......"

I pretended to be depressed and dropped the cigarette in my hand and said, "You continue to clean up the battlefield...... I went to wash my face, and I squatted in the grass all night, and everyone was getting moldy! ”

"Yes!" Although Company Commander Zhang didn't know what kind of medicine I was selling in the gourd, he still responded very cooperatively.

Actually...... It was only when I was cleaning up the battlefield that I discovered a very serious problem, there was no radio station in the corpse of the Vietnamese army agent......

I heard the radio just now...... Moreover, the radio is very important for a unit, especially a unit that fights deep into the territory of our army, and it can almost be said to be a tool for Vietnamese agents to contact their superiors and coordinate with other units.

So I don't think it's possible for the Vietnamese agents to leave it behind and run away alone...... The only explanation is that there are Vietnamese agents hiding in the ditch and not coming out.

I still admire the caution of the Vietnamese army...... We only know that the Vietnamese army agents are about to rush through the canyon to escape for their lives, who would have thought that there are still a few people left in the ditch to observe the situation...... Moreover, I think these people are still the more important people of the Vietnamese army's agents, and it is very likely that they are the company commanders and correspondents of the Vietnamese army's special agent company.

If this is someone else...... When I knew this, I would have called my men to search the ditch as soon as I could, but I wouldn't do that.

Because I know the consequences of doing so...... It is very likely that the commander of the Vietnamese army's special agent company was hiding behind the ditch to observe the whole battle, but they knew that our army was too numerous so they did not dare to come out to die, but there is a saying called "the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry", in case he knows that I have realized that there are still people in the ditch...... Then don't think about it, he'll be shooting rows of bullets at us soon.

What worries me the most is ...... I believe that the Vietnamese agents in the ditch may have identified important people, such as me, the battalion commander...... In fact, my battalion commander is not difficult to recognize at all, because I have a few guards and communicators with me at all times, and then Company Commander Zhang came to report the situation to me just now...... If you don't know that I'm an "official", then I can only say that I'm too stupid.

That's why I'm going to put on a show like I did...... This is the only way I can get out, and at the same time I don't dare to alarm the others, because the result of this is to startle the snake.

So I pretended to be idle and led the guards all the way to the river...... Before I had gone far, I crouched down and beckoned a few people around me to take cover.

The three guards were taken aback by my movements...... I thought that I had discovered the enemy situation and hurriedly picked up my submachine gun and got ready......

I said with some bitterness: "The enemy is not here, in the ditch!" ”

"In the gutter?" The guard Xiao Zhang couldn't believe it and said, "The battalion commander is saying...... Are there still more devils in the ditch? ”

"That's right!" While I was preparing my pistol and dagger, I gave the order: "The correspondent is on standby, the guards are coming with me!" ”

"Yes!" Several people responded.

But Xiao Zhang quickly objected: "Battalion commander, let's do this...... Too dangerous! ”

"There's a good chance they're big fish!" I said, "And it's definitely not ordinary...... How many of you can guarantee to catch them? Who is responsible in case of running away? ”

As soon as I said that, the guards were silent.

Because I was worried that the Vietnamese army agents would sneak away, I didn't dare to slack off...... With three guards, he made a turn around and turned to a position dozens of meters behind the ditch, and ran upstream of the ditch with his waist...... After running for a few hundred meters, I stopped, beckoned to the guards, and sneaked back to the ditch to lie down.

Here's what I think...... If a few Vietnamese agents remained in the ditch, they would have to follow the ditch if they wanted to escape silently...... Because the sky was gradually brightening at this time, as soon as the Vietnamese agents got out of the ditch, they would soon be discovered by our soldiers.

In principle, there are two options for walking along the ditch...... One is to go upstream, and the other is downstream.

But what is clear is ...... This ditch is used to irrigate the farmland, and the downstream can only be diverted to the various farmlands, and it is unlikely to be a good place to hide, so they actually have only one choice...... It is to return the same way along the ditch.

So I'm just waiting here, waiting for them to come and catch me!

At this time, I had the one-eyed dragon in my mind's mind...... This cunning fellow, I can finally catch you this time! (To be continued......)
