Chapter 156: The River

After Company Commander Luo came out of the regiment headquarters, he simply explained the battle situation to the soldiers guarding outside the cave...... So a dark cloud soon spread among the troops.

I can understand the feelings of the fighters, no one wants to sit here and wait for death, do they? In particular, the regiment commander also made it clear that he would give up asking for help...... What does it mean to give up on asking for help? Basically, we have given up hope, and we seem to be lambs to the slaughter......

"Company commander!" Someone suggested, "Let's go back then...... Which way we take when we come, which way we will go again. ”

Company Commander Luo didn't answer, and Chen Yiyi interjected next to him: "The Vietnamese army found that one of our companies had entered the encirclement, and they would definitely send someone to plug the gap!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Chen Yiyi to answer at all, and the soldiers also know in their hearts that there will not be such a cheap thing, unless the Yue devil is a fool, how can it be possible for us to return the same way.

"Hey! What do you want to do so much! The bayonet said lightly with a cigarette in his mouth: "What the hell can this be?" It's not a day or two since we followed the platoon commander, which time is the war not nine deaths, don't we still live well? ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shi added on the side: "Wasn't it the same when we were in Dainaishan? It is also this 316A Division, which has several times more troops than ours...... It's not the same, let us get down? ”

"That's right!"

"This time, I can beat the Yue devil down!"

……

The soldiers were quickly infected by this atmosphere, and some of them even wanted to go to the front line immediately to give the Yue devils a few blows.

Morale is a really weird thing, and sometimes no matter how much coercion and temptation you try, it's useless. Sometimes it's just a few easy words and that's a different story.

"Comrades!" The instructor seems to have been infected by this atmosphere. At the same time, I also know that this is time to cheer up the fighters. So he stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "You are all right! There is no impermeable wall in this world, and there is no way to die, the more devils want to trap us here, let's break out and show them! ”

"That's right! Break out and show them! ”

"Break out and show them!"

……

The soldiers were eager to try one by one with high morale, sweeping away the decadence and negativity just now, as if they were eager to go up immediately and fight with the devil.

But it's just me...... Staring intently at the map in front of him, he was silent.

"What's wrong?" The company commander seemed to sense that something was wrong with me, so he walked up to me and asked, "Is there a way to break out?" ”

I shook my head silently and said, "There is no way to break through. But...... There seems to be a way to defeat the Yue Devil! ”

"What?" Company Commander Luo couldn't believe his ears: "What did you say?" Defeat the Yue Devil? ”

Scar also heard my words next to him, and said with a puzzled face: "Second platoon leader, you're not talking in a dream, are you?" We only have one battalion and a few broken tanks, and the Vietnamese devils have two regiments...... It's good to be able to break through, and defeat the devil? ”

I didn't answer, silently put away the map and said, "Let's go and discuss with the regimental commander......

"Hmm!" Company Commander Luo glanced at the soldiers around him and nodded.

It's not that we don't believe in these fighters under our command, it's that I don't dare to joke with everyone's lives...... Because the method I thought of was only a lifesaver for all of us, once our army mixed in with a Vietnamese agent and heard my jihua. The consequences would be dire.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"What? I heard me right......" The head of the regiment looked at me in disbelief: "You mean...... Is there a way to defeat the Yue devil? Not a breakout? ”

"It's not a breakout!" I say.

"Tell me about it!" The head of the regiment was still full of disbelief, because in his opinion, the situation in front of him was a dead end.

"Here's what I think!" I said, "There are two regiments of Vietnamese troops around us. Moreover, the Vietnamese army is far stronger than our army in terms of weapons and equipment, military quality, and favorable time and place, so I think it is impossible to break through the siege......"

"Hmm!" The regiment commander, political commissar and others all nodded in unison, but the suspicion on their faces was even heavier, since it was impossible to break through...... So how can this Vietnamese army still be defeated?

"Since it is impossible to break through...... weishenme we don't try to attack? I said.

"What does Platoon Commander Yang mean......" The regiment commander frowned and said, "Do you want to continue to attack towards the pass?" ”

"That's right!" I nodded: "The pass is a natural danger for the Vietnamese army, and it is also a natural danger for us...... As long as we can take the pass, it will be possible to hold it. In this way, we will not only be able to hold on until the arrival of the main forces, but we will even be able to cut off the retreat of the Vietnamese army......"

"Stop......" The regimental commander interrupted me impatiently: "The question is can we beat this pass?" If he can fight it, the devil will only use one company to guard this place? It's easy for you to say, most of us have fallen there, and the mouth hasn't moved yet! ”

"Second Platoon Leader!" Company Commander Luo knew what I was capable of, so he continued to ask, "Are you ...... Is there any way to take the pass? ”

I nodded, pointed to the pass on the map and said: "The number of our army is much larger than that of the Vietnamese army in the pass, and the main reason why we cannot win is that the pass is narrow, and our army cannot deploy our troops at the pass......"

"Everybody knows this!" Company Commander Luo glanced at the impatient regiment commander and interrupted me: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about the point!" ”

"Yes!" I answered, and then said, "However, it's not that we can't deploy our forces, it's just that we are using the wrong method!" ”

"How?"

"Little River!" I say.

"Creek?" The head of the regiment and the others showed a trace of doubt on their faces.

"That's right!" I nodded and replied, "I heard what Camp Commander Wei said just now...... The creek is more than a meter deep, isn't it? It's certainly not good if the sun doesn't shine in the narrow valley...... If the soldiers are allowed to swim in the river with their waists bent, they can pass through the pass along the small river under the nose of the Vietnamese army, and then they can attack the Vietnamese army from the back of the 217 heights! and quickly occupy the 217 heights ......"

At this time, the head of the regiment couldn't help but be stunned. After a long time, he slapped the table excitedly and shouted, "Good way! ”

"It's a good idea!" The commissar nodded and said, "Although the front of the 217 heights is full of mines. But the back is the place where the devil himself...... They occupy a dangerous pass, and it is impossible to lay mines, and it is impossible to defend against them. As long as we can successfully swim across, it will not be a big problem to take the 217 heights, and if we take the 217 heights, we can take the pass! ”

"What's more......" The regiment commander continued: "After taking the 217 heights, the fortifications on the 217 heights and the minefields in front of the positions can be used by me...... At that time, the devils will come to attack the pass we are defending! ”

"Not only do we have a way to survive, but we can also complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors as scheduled Jihua, and cut off the retreat of the Yue Devil!"

"Comrade!" Speaking of this, the commissar couldn't help but hold my hand tightly and said, "Thank you, comrade! You've saved our entire army! ”

"Without further ado!" The regiment commander clenched his fists and said, "Start preparing immediately, this task ...... I'll leave it to you two companies! To cover your swimming. We're going to make a feint attack on the pass! ”

"Yes!" Company Commander Luo and I stepped forward.

The combat mission came down quickly, and sure enough, our company got the task, and at this time, Company Commander Luo had already asked the soldiers to wrap the bullets and barrels with tarps in advance, and each prepared a small bamboo with a bamboo knot to act as a snorkel.

Anyway, this kind of small bamboo is everywhere in Vietnam, so it is not difficult to do this, and Soviet-style weapons such as AK47 and the sniper rifle in my hand are super safe, and they can be used normally when soaked in water. It's just that in order not to affect the accuracy of shooting, we wrapped the barrel with a tarp.

Everything is ready, in order not to let the devils see us going down the river. I led my warriors upstream, sneaked up to the river, and gave my order. One by one, the warriors leaped into the river......

The river was very cold in the morning, which made us shiver when we first got down the river, but it was still small compared to the task we were going to perform, so no one took this difficulty to heart.

The river was just right for us to walk in it, and the group carefully dived along the river towards the pass. The start went well, but after a while the gunshots and explosions soon rang out...... The fighters of the 447th Regiment launched a feint attack on the pass.

Hearing the gunshots, the soldiers also became nervous, as can be seen from the fact that they want to stick their heads out from time to time to observe the situation outside. This may be the weakness of people, when people are faced with danger, they always have a desire to find out the situation, even though they know that the consequences of figuring it out are likely to be their own lives or even exposing the whereabouts of the entire army and putting everyone in danger......

So I hurriedly gestured to the warriors behind me and forced them to move on. At this time, I can't help but regret that I didn't say a few more words before entering the water, and it is too late to say it. As the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, this is a company of more than 100 soldiers...... As soon as one of them sticks his head out and the devil finds out, the mission will be declared a failure, and it will also surprise us that we will lose the opportunity to use this method to sneak up on the enemy again.

Fortunately, none of this happened, and perhaps it had something to do with the fact that the main force was making a feint attack on the pass in order to cover us to attract the enemy's attention, and the group continued to move forward in the river without danger, except for the occasional drop of one or two comrades' corpses on it to give us a false alarm, everything went smoothly.

After a few minutes, I could clearly feel a dark ...... overhead Then I realized that I had entered the pass, that is, I had entered the enemy's control circle. I gestured to the warriors behind me to keep going.

It is a strange feeling that the enemy is shooting at the top of our heads, and we are walking in the dark right under their noses, and if any enemy soldier notices something wrong in the water, or if an enemy tentatively shoots a few times into the water, we are likely to be annihilated...... (To be continued......)
