CHAPTER XVIII

Although the water under the rice paddy field is dirty and smelly, the high ridge is a ready-made trench, and generally speaking, as long as it is not directly hit by a shell, it will be fine.

The soldiers under my command were not stupid, and they quickly learned that I was lying down in front of the ridge, and the machine gunners even set up machine guns to strafe the Vietnamese positions......

Later I learned that they were just following me, the squad leader. But follow me, follow me, why are you in such a hurry to shoot? The devils are all hiding in the jungle, and we don't see anyone, so what can a gun do like that? If you draw the enemy's firepower......

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted at the machine gunner: "Stop! Stop it...... Stop shooting! ”

Finally, the Heavy heard my voice, quickly stopped what he was doing, retracted his head, and then looked at me in a daze, as if waiting for my orders.

After a long while, the machine gunner didn't see any movement from me, so he asked suspiciously: "Squad leader, what should we do now?" You give the order! ”

But what can I do? I'm the squad leader, not a god! Do you still tell me to rush forward with such a fierce bullet as the devil? Now I just want the bullets and shells of the devils not to hit my head!

At this time, a cadre wearing four military uniforms and several soldiers ran up with a few soldiers, and then lay on the ground and hid beside us.

"Battalion commander!"

It was only when I heard the exclamation of the bayonet that I realized that this was our battalion commander next to me......

Of course, the battalion commander didn't have time to pay attention to us little soldiers, he cautiously poked his head out to look at the enemy's high ground, and then waved his hand and shouted at one of the soldiers beside him: "You! Rush through the open field in front of us, find the platoon of spearheads and let them come back and cooperate with us to flank the Vietnamese troops on both sides! ”

"Yes!" The soldier next to him answered, and without saying a word, he rushed forward with his rifle, but he fell in front of us as soon as he ran more than ten meters.

The battalion commander didn't speak, he waved his hand and went up again, this time running farther, but he was knocked down after only running more than 30 meters. What hit him was several bullets from the anti-aircraft machine gun, and the whole person was carried up by the inertia of the bullets and then fell to the ground fiercely, immediately dyeing the water red.

And then the third, and then the fourth.

Every time, the battalion commander went up with a wave of his hand, but without exception, they all ran a few dozen meters before falling under the enemy's bullets. I only saw that my heart was beating in shock, and I felt that the battalion commander's hand was a life talisman, a wave of his hand was a life, and a wave of his hand was another life......

At this time, there was no one around the battalion commander, but he still habitually waved his hand, and he didn't see anyone go up for a long time, so he couldn't help but turn his head and scolded me: "Don't you fucking know what I mean?" Still not up yet? ”

"Me?" It took me a long time to realize that the battalion commander was coming for me this time.

"Not you or who?" The battalion commander scolded angrily: "Go and inform the sharp knife platoon immediately and let them cooperate with our attack!" Don't you see that the soldiers are all dying? Don't go up yet......"

"Battalion commander!" Looking at the four fighters who fell in front, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and said with difficulty: "If this can be rushed, I will definitely go!" But now we can't rush through it at all, and it's a waste of our lives as soldiers......"

The battalion commander couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that what I said was also reasonable, so he couldn't help but slam his fist and slammed the ridge in front of him, and scolded: "it!" Where's this shit's run......"

"Battalion commander! What about radio? What about walkie-talkies? Little Stone couldn't help but come up and ask.

"The radio station is broken!" The battalion commander scolded dejectedly: "The walkie-talkie can't be called...... I've screamed dozens of times and I haven't had a fart! ”

Later, we learned that this was not actually a walkie-talkie call, but the deputy company commander of the Ninth Company who led the team was cowardly, obviously heard the call on the walkie-talkie but did not answer, not only did he not organize troops to fight back to rescue the trapped comrades, but he hid in the cave, and then left the team without authorization under the pretext of reporting to the regiment headquarters, and a few soldiers also left......

At this time, the soldiers no longer gathered on the road, but scattered and ran in the rice fields, and some companies even spontaneously organized soldiers to charge towards the high ground of the Vietnamese army...... But it didn't work, the road had completely blocked the machine gun fire of the Vietnamese army, and the water and mud in the rice fields made it impossible for the soldiers to run fast at all, and the Vietnamese army could easily knock the soldiers down on the way to charge......

The artillery unit also organized a counterattack, after all, they knew that in this case, if they did not return fire, they would only wait for death, so they quickly set up mortars one after another "dong dong ......dong" to fire shells at the enemy's position, but the shelling was obviously ineffective, first, we did not know where the Vietnamese army was hiding, and more importantly, those mortars were erected in the rice fields, and the soft and sparse soil could not withstand the recoil of the mortars at all. Some of them hit the bottom of the mortar with a single shell, and then they sank into the mud and lost their accuracy.

Then, before the soldiers could pull the mortars out of the mud and readjust them, the enemy's machine-gun bullets and shells came in pieces......

"My ** more devil!" Seeing this, the battalion commander couldn't help but draw out the pistol pinned to his waist and shouted: "Lao Tzu fought with you......"

As he spoke, he stood up and was about to rush forward, but I pulled him back with a quick hand, and the other soldiers also hurried up to help push the battalion commander back to the ridge.

"Battalion commander! Can't mess around! I persuaded, "Think of a way, there will always be a way!" The warriors are waiting for your orders......"

"How? Think of a way to make a ball! The battalion commander had lost his reason, and he yelled hysterically: "When we think of a way, we will all die!" ”

Seeing this, I quickly realized that I had to rely on myself now, if not for the sake of the warriors, but for myself to find a way to fight. Otherwise, when the warriors are defeated, it will be our turn to hide in the ridges......

But what can be done about it?

Rush up? That will only make us die faster.

Fall back? Obviously it won't work either!

Contact the Sharp Knife Platoon according to the battalion commander's intentions? This also does not seem to be very realistic, not to mention whether we can contact the Sharp Knife Platoon, even if we can contact and successfully pull them back to flank the Vietnamese army...... However, the Yue Devil obviously intended to let them out of the ambush circle, wouldn't they be on guard?

Suddenly, I saw a bamboo tube inserted next to the ridge of the field and was "whooshing" water flowing down, and my heart couldn't help but move, the paddy field must need water irrigation for a long time, and there will inevitably be a canal if water is needed for irrigation...... So he poked his head out and looked along the upstream of the water, and sure enough, he faintly found a canal overgrown with water weeds on the left side, and then looked up along the canal, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this ditch actually led all the way to the high ground on the left side of the Vietnamese army!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but retract my head and said to the battalion commander: "Battalion commander! I led the soldiers to sneak to the enemy's position, you wait below, and when you hear the gunfire of the Yue devils, you will rush forward with your troops! ”

"Touching the enemy's position?" The battalion commander couldn't help but wonder when he heard this.

Time is of the essence, and I didn't bother to explain so much, so I waved at my soldiers and led them along the ridge towards the canal......

As the saying goes, I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs walking, and after watching too many war movies, I also know that I should walk with a cat on my waist when running. In fact, I don't think you need to learn this at all, because who doesn't think about their own lives! Who can really charge at the enemy's bullets without covering up at all as depicted on TV and in movies? I don't think there will be such a scene on a real battlefield, because that will not help the battle situation except to sacrifice one's own life in vain

A few of us sometimes crawl forward, sometimes the cat rises and trots all the way to the left, when to crawl slowly on our stomachs and when to stand up and trot, in fact, it is easy to distinguish, for me it is completely determined by the height of the ridge next to me.

The canal was not far from our location, only more than 200 meters, but it still took us more than ten minutes to arrive.

When I ran to the canal, I couldn't help but cry out bitterly...... This thing is a little too shallow, and a person will show his head when he squats, and I think this is also the reason why the more devils don't defend this canal.

But I didn't hesitate, and we had no way out, so I jumped in and lay down in the ditch...... Fortunately, it's just enough for a person to lie in it, and the dense aquatic plants on both sides of the canal can also become our very haode hide, but what makes me a little painful is ...... The water in this canal was a bit deep, and I had to keep my head high.

One by one, my men jumped in and followed me into the ditch.

In other words, when those soldiers were only looking at me, I really had an unusual sense of pride in my heart. Just a few days ago, I had the old man call for a drink because of my inheritance, and now it will be my turn to call someone.

But I also know that this kind of summoning people also has a price, that is, they must be led to victory, otherwise if they suffer a few more defeats, not to mention that they have no prestige, who else can I call this person when they are almost dead?

At this time, I didn't dare to think too much, so I turned back and ordered the soldiers: "Get ready for battle, let's sneak up the enemy's high ground along this ditch, and then cooperate with the main force to take the enemy's high ground for me!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Although the warriors said this, their eyes flashed with surprise.

I knew they were doing something unexpectedly, and they all thought I was trying to escape through this ditch, but I didn't expect me to attack......

The old man once said: Offense is the most haode defense!
