Afterwards, the soldiers around me were all wondering about one thing: Weishenme, the commander of the Vietnamese regiment, was going to tell us about the artillery at the Zuihou juncture.

You must know that the move of the commander of the Yue Army is indeed very ...... They looked like they were going to surrender, but in fact they had notified the long-range artillery in the rear of the coordinates in advance based on their familiarity with the terrain. And then when our cadres are attracted by his title of "Regiment Leader...... That's when long-range artillery fire blew us up!

Of course, because he needed time to "draw" us over, he made an appointment with the artillerymen in advance to cover us in a few minutes.

I admit I did not expect that...... And if things develop like this, it is very likely that many of us will be bombed into the sky with the commander of the Vietnamese army at this moment, after all, it is not a joke to be covered by targeted, targeted artillery fire, just like we fired an air-burst bomb at the Vietnamese army......

But I am not at all surprised that the Vietnamese army commander would inform us of this...... Although this incident is indeed worth wondering.

There is a saying that "when a man is about to die, his words are good", but this sentence does not apply on the battlefield...... There have been too many things on the battlefield that have to pull a few enemies down before they die, and they have more hatred, hatred, and anger with each other, so I wish that my death could also bring pain to the enemy, and the more miserable the better!

But that's not the case for everyone...... Take this Captain of the Yue Legion, for example!

At that moment, I felt like I understood his feelings completely...... The battle is won or lost, it is like playing a game of chess, and the win or loss of a game does not have much to do with the number of pieces captured. Just like a few more deaths in this battle can't change the tide of the battle.

I believe that the commander of the Vietnamese regiment is looking at this battle with the mentality of playing chess. That's why he doesn't get swayed by anger. Don't be blindfolded by hatred. That's why he can command and treat him from the perspective of a third party on the battlefield.

It's a state of mind, a bit of an otherworldly flavor...... I'll admit that I can't do that. However, I believe that if all the Vietnamese commanders are like him...... That's not my blessing.

But...... The reality is that this Vietnamese army commander is also a member of the Vietnamese army, and he has Vietnamese blood on his body, so he can't leave the battlefield with us......

I could see this from the look in his eyes, so I didn't persuade him to do anything, I knew very well that all persuasion was in vain at this point.

My soldiers and I had not gone far in the armored car when we heard the whistling of shells in the sky. First a few shells exploded nearby, and then soon a large ...... In the light of the shells, I saw that the commander of the Vietnamese regiment was almost facing the shells that were hitting him, waiting for the artillery fire very calmly as if he had thrown himself into his mother's arms......

I don't know how much courage it takes to die as calmly as he did, but I do know that it's admirable, even though he is technically our enemy.

At that moment, I could barely believe I had ever defeated him on the battlefield.

This Vietnamese commander still had a great influence on me, so much so that when we returned to the 518.6 heights again, my mind kept flashing the scene of him under artillery fire.

518.6 The heights were already cheering at this time, as the saying goes, if you stand high, you can see far, and on the heights, of course, they know the progress of the whole battle clearly. At this time, as soon as they saw us coming back and driving back to the col in an armored car, they waved at us one by one. Yang Jie and other artificial soldiers also came out to greet us, so the whole highland was boiling.

However, these cheers of the soldiers were conservative, the soldiers on the high ground were waving at the edge of the trenches, and Yang Jie and other sappers only walked to the mountain pass......

This is certainly true, the reason is that the battle is not over yet...... We said in training that we should not let our guard down at any time unless it was the end of the fight.

From this point of view, our previous training has been quite effective.

This time, however, our fears seemed to be unfounded, as it was clear that the Vietnamese army was no longer capable of launching another attack, and it was not possible to organize another attack before the collapse of the Vietnamese army at Ban Wang......

Infantry...... Our army is blocked by powerful artillery fire, and to make it clear that as long as our army has artillery shells, it is useless for more Vietnamese infantry to come up, not to mention that our synthetic battalion still has tanks.

Artillery, the Vietnamese artillery has lost a lot in the previous artillery battles, not to mention that even if it has artillery...... The shell was almost blown up, and there wasn't much left to hit if you wanted to.

Not to mention armored forces...... The tanks and armored vehicles of the Vietnamese army have already suffered heavy losses in the melee between Tong Mian and the previous moment, and the Vietnamese army does not have many tanks in the first place, which can be seen from the fact that their armored units are still using American-style tanks, so of course they will not be able to organize an armored unit with offensive capability for a while.

As the saying goes, "it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice", and no matter how much strategy the Vietnamese army has, it will be unable to do anything because there are no troops or no artillery shells to use.

In addition, the two regiments in the direction of our army intensified their attacks on the 481 and 544 heights of the Vietnamese army at this time...... At this time, it should be said that the ammunition of the Vietnamese army has not yet run out, but the news of the total annihilation of the rear armored forces will soon reach the front...... To be precise, the Vietnamese army saw it, after all, this battle can be said to be related to their life and death, so the Vietnamese army also stared at this side from the high ground, or used various means to find out the news at the first time.

Thereupon...... They also knew that there was no hope of regaining the 518.6 heights, and once this hope was shattered, it would be equivalent to the loss of Banwang, and then the morale of the whole army would soon collapse.

Morale is like this, especially for a unit, once morale is low, it will be like a person who has lost his goal or lost his soul, even if he is doing what he is good at, he will always make mistakes.

The Vietnamese army in the Banwang area was in such a state...... Although they were ace troops, and although they were all veterans who came out of battle, they lacked ammunition and saw no hope of victory, so they soon couldn't hold on and began to retreat.

However, the 320th Division is the 320th Division after all, and even in this case, there is still no confusion......

What I learned from Commander Huang later was...... The Vietnamese army left a platoon on both high grounds, and the Vietnamese army left most of the ammunition to this platoon, and their task was to hold the position until the retreat of the large army was completed!

This is actually what we call a "death mission...... As the name suggests, when you receive this kind of task, there is basically only one result: "death".

Of course, this is not usually the case, but "hold on until the large army retreats safely" may even give some comfort, such as "will cover your retreat with artillery fire" and the like...... But imagine that this platoon has to face the enemy of a regiment, and it still has to hold out for a while...... By the time the large army had withdrawn safely, the platoon had already been surrounded.

The battle is exactly as I imagined...... The infantry of the two platoons of the Vietnamese army were not spared in the end, but I heard that they fought very tenaciously, and they fought until Zuihou ran out of bullets, and they rushed towards our defense line with bayonets, and some of them even saved the use of "glorious bullets......

The "glorious bullet" here refers to the hand grenade used for suicide, which is available in both China and Vietnam, especially the female soldiers who want to go to the battlefield in China...... This is not to say that China is inhumane, but rather the other way around...... Once Chinese female soldiers are captured by the Vietnamese army, they will be subjected to inhuman abuse, so it is because of humanity that they were given honor bullets in the first place.

This thing is often tied to the body with a rope knot, so that the enemy can't grab it if he wants to, and when he wants to commit suicide, he just pulls the string...... You can even rush into the crowd of enemies and die together, which can be said to be simple, convenient and fast......

But the more devils are even more desperate, they cut off this glorious bullet when they ran out of ammunition and used it...... Then when he committed suicide, four or five people gathered in a circle and pulled a glorious bullet in the middle!

I can't imagine that kind of tragic scene...... What's the saddest thing in the world? The saddest thing is that even death has to be killed, and you can also save death!

Compared with these, what can the joys and sorrows in the peaceful shijie be counted?!!

However, the sacrifice of these two platoons of the Vietnamese army was also valuable, because they took advantage of the terrain to hold back the strength of our two regiments to the death, so that our army did not have the spare forces to pursue the retreating troops of the Vietnamese army.

Do you really want to say that there are any troops that can pursue or encircle the Vietnamese troops...... It should belong to our synthetic battalion, but considering that the 518.6 heights are related to the victory or defeat of the entire battle, and it can even be said that once the loss of this highland, the outcome of the battle may be changed, so after thinking about it repeatedly, Commander Huang still did not let us intercept the withdrawal of the Vietnamese army.

As a result, we could only watch the Vietnamese army withdraw from Banwang under the cover of night, bypassing the 518.6 heights, and all our army could do was to use artillery to bombard the possible retreat route of the Vietnamese army......

But that doesn't seem to be a bad thing, because our strategic purpose has been achieved...... Banwang has been recovered by our army, and the signboard of the ace unit of the 320th Division has also been smashed in our hands, so how many people will be killed...... That is, a few lives are missing, and it will not have any impact on the entire battlefield situation.

The ones who have an impact are those who are going to die, those who are injured, and their families. (To be continued......)
