Chapter 139: Rescue (9)
"Rush!" At this time, of course, I would not give up this opportunity, and with a shout, I led the soldiers to follow the Argentine deserters like a sheep, and while chasing back, I knocked down the Argentine soldiers who were running slowly or fell to the ground one by one.
At this time, we all had a tacit understanding, and there was no large-scale killing or injury of the fleeing Afghan army...... Jokes aside, they are our vanguard, and if we kill too many and there is a clear line between us and the enemy, then we will easily be recognized and blocked by the Afghan army, which is secretly prepared.
And this kind of blocking is fatal for us, because it is quite possible that only one machine gun is needed...... After a few rows of bullets, we were crushed to the ground and further separated from the deserters.
At this time, I wondered how those British soldiers could have the same tacit understanding to only fight those Afghan troops who threatened us, for example, some Afghan soldiers would turn around to observe what was going on in the rear, and even some officers tried to organize a new line of defense...... There is no need to think about such an opponent, as long as you raise your gun and pull the trigger instead of facing away from us.
Later, I learned that in fact, the British army did not have a tacit understanding with us, but they were not willing to kill indiscriminately at this time...... Recruits are like that, it's easy to be soft on the battlefield, but it's no wonder that they can't even fight this battle.
So we quickly occupied the rough diamond heights, not so much as passing through...... When we occupied the rough diamond heights, we simply threw a few grenades into the trenches, bomb shelters, etc.
The purpose of this was to worry that there were still Argentine troops hidden inside. If these Argentine forces are not cleared, we may be able to stop the SAS forces when we pass by.
Of course, this is very unlikely, because I believe that the Afghan army, which is still hiding in the rough diamond position at this time, is just to save their lives, and they will not have the courage to come out and resist, even if they occupy the position. However, on the battlefield, we dare not be careless.
Immediately after that, we followed the Afghan army all the way.
At the same time, I also had the troops of the Liang Company and the SAS follow behind......
In other words, our original plans have been completely disrupted by this time.
Originally, at this time, SAS should have been the main force to attack the artillery positions of the Afghan army, but now it has become our training company chasing the Afghan army all the way and killing fiercely.
In the process of this fierce fighting, I found that the deserters of the Afghan army fell into a deeper chaos, that is, cannibalism.
"This is so weird!" When Xu Jianping saw this scene, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did they beat themselves?" ”
I just smiled wryly and didn't answer.
In fact, it is not surprising at all, this is the stricter problem that infiltration warfare will bring: the loss of trust in each other. No one can be sure whether the people around them are friends or foes.
Maybe. The confusion was initially small-scale, or just an accident, such as when an Afghan soldier misfired his gun and injured a company of comrades, so the other party mistakenly thought that it was an enemy disguised as an Afghan army who injured him and returned fire. This kind of retaliation can in turn lead others into thinking that they are enemies. So it soon became more and more chaotic and chaotic. Everyone was fighting in a frenzy.
In other words, our Chinese soldiers have suffered this kind of hardship in the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam, so of course we know why this confusion occurred. The British soldiers, who had no combat experience, still did not understand why this was the case for a while.
But this chaos is not a good thing for us.
The reason is that the deserters of the current Afghan army have entered an indiscriminate attack, so it is natural that they will also regard us as enemies. So it's not appropriate for us to follow them anymore.
But then again, we should have "parted ways" with them...... The destination of the deserters was Port Stanley, but our destination was the artillery positions on the flank of Port Stanley.
So we were happy not to get involved, and after firing a row of bullets at the Afghan troops in front of us and knocking down a group of people, we made a detour and changed the route of the march.
"Battalion commander, is that you?" We hadn't walked long before the voice of Liang Lianbing came from the walkie-talkie: "We are at eight o'clock!" ”
I turned my head and saw a group of people behind me making a few circles with dim flashlights, which were the codes we recognized each other.
"It's us!" I also flashed a flashlight and replied to the code.
Liang Lianbing and the others quickly caught up, and to my surprise, there were also SAS people who came up with them, and it was obvious that they had joined Liang Lianbing's troops first.
The first thing I saw was the indescribable Angus, but now his eyes are completely devoid of the disdain he had at the beginning, and instead there is an indescribably complex look.
Of course I can understand that, you must know that he didn't have us in mind in the first place...... This we include the British training company we led, and even he found an excuse to torture this training company before, but now they have to be rescued by us, and even in actual combat, they are at a disadvantage all the way.
"Colonel!" At this time, a SAS officer ran up to me with a gun in one hand and shook my hand and said, "I'm Major Hill, the commander of the SAS!" Sorry we were late, because we had a lot of wounded! ”
I can understand this, you must know that this is a breakthrough, and you still have to escape with lightning speed, so of course you have to take the wounded with you.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kent is alright!" I asked.
"It's okay for the time being!" Hill replied: "Excessive blood loss, not necessarily if not treated in time!" ”
"So......" Hill then looked at the map, pointed ahead, and said, "The artillery position we are going to attack is right in front of us, isn't it?" ”
"Indeed!" I replied: "Now it's only a kilometer away from us!" ”
"So what are we waiting for?" Major Hill looked at his watch and waved behind him, "We have ten minutes left!" ”
I know what Major Hill was referring to in those ten minutes, when the naval guns and the Harriers and helicopters bombed Port Stanley, and that was when we launched an attack on the artillery positions.
I don't know if this qiē will succeed because it is a lot that we haven't scouted before...... After all, it had always been the Argentine army's defensive line, and British scouts had not been able to penetrate the area.
So there are mines ahead, or a new line of defense, or there are large Argentine troops...... We don't know.
But I do know at least one thing, and that is that there is no turning back now, and we can only go down this path. (To be continued......)
