Chapter 121 Diary

The next day, we conducted a search centered on Luke according to the order of Company Commander Luo.

Say it's a search...... In fact, it should be said that it is more appropriate to set fire.

Let's just go into the jungle and search for devils? It's not that it can't be done, after all, these places are now occupied by our army, and the more devils are the only agents hiding in the jungle...... It's okay for these agents to make trouble or sneak attack, but if they do go head-to-head with us, they're no match for that. The gap in troops, equipment, and supplies is obvious, and it is a question of whether the devils can even eat enough.

But...... If we can use easier methods, if we can achieve the same or even more strategic goals with fewer casualties...... And what about weishenme?

Here's how: burn!

The order given by the higher authorities is to use the method of "beating, bombing, and burning", isn't it? So what do we have to worry about?

But if you want to say that there are scruples, there are really some scruples, first of all, you can't burn indiscriminately, you can't burn the villages in Vietnam, and even more so if you burn yourself...... No one can tell the fire thing, and Vietnam is full of jungles, maybe no one can control this burning.

So a lot of preparation is done before burning.

The first is to set up a firepower point around the mountain, which is to prevent the Vietnamese army agents from breaking through...... If we set fire to this mountain, the Vietnamese agents will run to that mountain, and when we light the mountain again, the Vietnamese agents will hide back...... So we're not doing useless work yet?

Therefore, before burning, it is necessary to use troops to surround this mountain.

This may have been difficult to do in the ancient era of cold weapons, but for now...... This seems to be a few machine guns and mortars arranged on a certain commanding height. Then it would be nice to arrange a few fighters with AK47s to guard it at a certain important place. As long as it's arranged properly. These points of fire would occupy all the favorable terrain and form crossfire, blocking a high ground with heavy fire.

The second is to be able to control the fire. Don't let this fire spread to other hills. As I said earlier, if the fire is not controlled, there is a high chance that something will go wrong.

It doesn't seem difficult to do this, and the way to do this is to open a "fire road".

What is the "Fire Road"? Between Jungles and Jungles...... Adjacent trees cut it down, thatch it down, and if it wasn't fast enough to get into trouble, split a grassless path on either side, and then put a fire in the middle...... In this way, a "fire road" was opened.

So. The so-called fire road is actually a road that cannot be burned by fire. Because of this road, the trees and grass that can be burned have been cut down or burned first. The road forms a circle at the base of the mountain, so that the fire can be contained on the top of the mountain.

Anyway, this "fire road" gave me a headache for a while, because I grew so big that I only used a hoe when I was digging a coffin...... But now those supplementary soldiers under my command have a place to use, when they were soldiers, they were only doing hoes or infrastructure, right? So they were familiar with this line, put down their guns and started working in full swing, and in less than half a day a fire road around the foot of the mountain was opened.

The rest is easy, arson is a little difficult for an ordinary person, maybe it is a little difficult to set fire to a humid jungle like Vietnam, but for an army...... That's just a pleasure.

There are many ways to set fires. The simplest and most direct is to pour gasoline on it, and the container used is the helmet of the Yue Devil...... This thing seems to be everywhere in this place. Sometimes ordinary Vietnamese people have it in their homes. Take a few of them and put them on the haode scoop...... Filled with gasoline like a sprinkler poured on the trees and grass on the opposite side, and when a match was lit, the flame "soared" up the mountain, just like a soldier charging up in a neat queue, not to mention how spectacular.

The most practical way to do this is with incendiary bombs.

It is said to be practical because the use of incendiary bombs can not only achieve the purpose of setting fire to the mountain, but also give the "veterans" a chance to practice.

Don't the "veterans" even know what a bazooka is? Didn't the mortars hit either? Well, now the big haode practice opportunity is in front of them.

Four-hundred-one, or handed a mortar to an incendiary bomb, and then pointed to a big tree two hundred meters away, and ordered: "If you can't hit, give me a hundred push-ups!" ”

Regardless of whether the "veteran" hit or missed, the incendiary bomb would explode a spark on the mountain, and then the spark would continue to expand and lead the flame to the top of the mountain......

In less than half a day, several mountains around Luke Village were burned to the ground.

In fact, it was not only our company that did this, but other units were doing the same, so that for the next few days, the air was filled with a thick smell of smoke, sometimes making people breathless.

Did any of the devils run out with their butts burned? Of course.

We have an unwritten rule that you don't look at a gun, as long as you have a gun in your hand and a grenade in your waist...... didn't say it, it doesn't matter if he raises his hand or not, one word "hit!" ”。

The reason why there is such a rule is because similar things have happened in other units, and the Yue devils pretend to surrender and surrender with guns raised...... Who would have thought that he was carrying an explosive bag behind his back, and when he was close to the firing point of our army, he pounced on it and died together with several soldiers of our army, and then killed a group of Vietnamese troops and broke through the defensive circle of our army......

So we know: only the dead Yue devil is the most credible.

Some clever devils know how to do it, and before they come out, they not only throw away their guns and grenades, but also strip themselves naked...... It's really smart to do this, and we have no reason to shoot at him anymore, but Chen Yiyi always seems a little uncomfortable at this time.

After burning for a day and a night, and after the fire was extinguished, it was time for us to go up the mountain and search.

At this point, we are left with no big problems, all we have to do is ...... It seems that we find a cave in a pile of ashes, whether it is a stone cave or an earth cave, whether there is someone or not, we will toss it and talk about it......

Flamethrowers, four-bolts, blasters, explosives packets, and gasoline were the most popular weapons used by the fighters. Whenever you find a suspicious cave, you will first bombard it with four zeros from a distance, of course, this is still for those "veterans" to do it. After that, I got close and burned it with a flamethrower...... If you're still not at ease, or if you hear a voice inside, okay...... Gasoline was poured into it for a while, and when it was lit, the hole was blown up with an explosive pack.

Some people may say that if the hole is blown up and sealed, the gasoline there will not burn without air? If the gasoline can't be burned, it means that the air in it has been depleted, and will the people there still be alive? Even if he survived, would he still be able to crawl out of the blown hole? Even if he has nine lives, he can't die, I'm afraid that when he crawls out, let's all return home after this battle!

The advantage of burning is not only to get rid of the devils hiding in the jungle, but also to ...... The burned mountains are bare and pitch black, and it is clear at a glance when you look at the past, not to mention that the Vietnamese troops cannot hide in it, as long as any person is not lying on his stomach, walking on it is like lice on the bald head, which is obvious.

This is the order of the superiors: "beat, bomb, burn".

Fighting is to beat the more devils who escaped around the mountain.

Bombing is blowing up a cave, no matter whether there is someone or not, it cannot become a hiding place if it collapses.

Of course, burning is burning the mountain, and as soon as you burn this battle, it will be easy to fight, and the jungle battle will become a positional battle!

What I remember most is when I searched the mountains for the third time in the south of Luke......

This mountain has to be searched over and over again, the reason is that those devils are sometimes like mice, we search here and they hide there, we search that side and they turn back.

Search a few times, and sometimes you will find a cave with a very hidden entrance, such as this one...... There will also be a hole in the crack of the stone, if Xu Guochun hadn't accidentally dropped the magazine when changing the magazine...... No one can find the hole.

This hole is troublesome, because there are rocks outside, and the bazooka can't be used unless it can blow the whole stone open. And the crack in the stone was still bent, and the flamethrower couldn't spray the fire into it...... Zuihou had no choice but to pretend to walk away noisily, and then sent Li Zuolong in.

The strength of this Li Zuolong is that the kung fu in his hands is powerful, and this kung fu may not be useful if it is outside, but in this narrow tunnel, it is a superb artifact...... The AK47 could barely turn around there, and the grenade would blow up the enemy and itself at the same time, and the pistol was fine, but it was not as fast as Li Zuolong's hand......

So after a while, I heard a few screams inside...... Then Li Zuolong responded easily: "It's solved, three devils!" I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength to fight! ”

After finishing, Li Zuolong first threw out a few weapons, and then brought out a booklet and handed it to me: "Platoon commander, I found a book, it was full of Vietnamese characters, I don't know what it was written, maybe it was intelligence ......."

I took it and looked at it, but it was a diary, and I flipped through it casually, but a few pages of zuihou wrote like this:

18 February: 3 wounded, 4 killed, no food.

19th: In the first battle of the sneak attack on the Chinese, Yong and Ping died and did not eat.

20th: No food

21st: There was no food, but fortunately I caught a mouse.

22nd: At 3 p.m., rocket fire was heard outside the cave. Red, members sacrificed.

23rd: The enemy has set fire to the mountain, Mom and Dad, I don't want to die...... Yun, my wife, is my son okay?

24th: Survived, but I don't know how long I will live.

Blood and flesh fall and hate wounds,

Sheet stone to keep the rain out for the bed.

Life and death together and teamwork,

Yujian has no one to pity.

Looking at this diary, I couldn't help but be silent, especially the poem by Zuihou...... It's not very well written, but I can see the desperation and helplessness in it.

The devils are also human beings, and they also have parents, wives and children. Originally, our relationship with Vietnam was still comrade and brotherly, and now Weishenme will be like this?

They can only be blamed for choosing the wrong leader and leading them down the wrong path...... (To be continued......)
