Chapter 157 217 Heights

The further you go into the valley, the dimmer the light becomes.

At first, I thought that the darker the better, after all, we are "smuggling" under the noses of the devils, aren't we? So the darker it is, the less likely it is for the Vietnamese army to find us, and the more likely we are to succeed......

However, after going a little further, it turns out that this does not seem to be a good thing.

The reason is that the light is too dim...... You must know that there is a high ground next to it at an altitude of 2,681 meters, which is enough to block all the sunlight in this narrow valley, so that we cannot see anything in the pitch black in front of us. Fortunately, we don't seem to need to see it...... Because you just need to follow the riverbed.

Another difficulty comes from the cliff on the side of Heights 2681, which means that there are many springs, many springs that have not seen sunlight for many years...... As soon as we walked into the valley, we felt the water temperature drop sharply, first because the temperature difference between the inside and outside was so great that the cold hairs on our whole body stood up, and then the more we walked inside, the more we felt like we had walked into an ice cellar, and after a while, we were shivering in the water......

At this time, I couldn't help but secretly complain: I didn't expect so many difficulties before entering the water, and I only beg the soldiers not to take advantage of the darkness in the narrow valley to poke their heads out with a fluke mentality, or any soldier who can't hold his breath in this darkness and makes any small moves...... You know, we don't make any sound when we walk underwater, and when we poke our heads out, we will make a noise with the sound of water...... When the Yue devil found out, we were dead.

Fortunately, the soldiers also knew that this was related to the life and death of our company, and even to the life and death of the 447th Regiment and whether they could successfully complete the task, so they all strictly abided by discipline and moved forward step by step......

Finally. Ten minutes later, a little light appeared in front of me. It settled me down a bit. Go forward with more confidence. The further you walked, the brighter it became, and when you looked behind you, the warriors followed one by one...... So my hanging heart slowly let go.

Maybe many people will think that this is nothing, but only after experiencing the darkness and coldness in that gloomy canyon can they experience that psychological torment.

But now...... If you can successfully cross the pass, you can say that half of the battle has been won.

But I still don't dare to be careless, because this is directly related to the life and death of our army, and whether our hundreds of people have a place to stand...... So I walked along the creek for a few more minutes. After seeing that all the fighters behind me were almost out of the canyon, I tapped my fist on the shoulder of the warrior behind me three times.

This is our signal agreed in advance, one knock is to stop the advance, two strikes is to continue to advance, and three times is to prepare for battle.

Then the warriors behind him passed this order down one by one, so the warriors stopped and waited by the riverbed with their guns in hand!

I took a few deep breaths, then shook off the bamboo tube, stood up sharply, and jumped out of the water with my right hand on the riverbed.

The first thing I felt was a lightness all over my body...... The pressure in the water was different from that in the air, and the sound of gunfire and explosions quickly became clear. I closed my eyes slightly to adjust to the outside light, and I raised my gun half-kneeling and aimed in the direction where the gunfire came...... In front of me was the slope of a high ground...... You don't have to think about it to know that it must be from 217 Highlands.

Just like I expected. The Yue devil was not at all defenseless against this side, so much so that the soldiers and I climbed out of the riverbed one by one, and they didn't notice it.

Of course. This is not only that the Vietnamese army did not expect our army to appear behind them through the pass unconsciously, but more importantly, their firepower and sight were all attracted by the attack of the 447th Regiment.

This gave me and the fighters time to do some preparations: tear off the tarps, and then Zuihou checked the equipment one at a time.

Then the company commander waved his hand, and the soldiers ran towards the hilltop position with their guns in hand...... There are no mines, and there is no barbed wire...... There were only a few trenches on the anticline, but they were empty, and they all ran to the top of the hill to defend themselves.

Company Commander Luo quickly gave an order: "The third platoon occupies the trench to organize defense, and the first platoon and the second platoon follow me!" ”

"Yes!" Liang Lianbing responded a little reluctantly, maybe he was a little dissatisfied with the company commander who asked him to organize defense at this time, but he also knew that this was a critical moment, and he couldn't afford to question it at all.

It should be said that Company Commander Luo's order is still reasonable, you must know that we are now going to attack the Vietnamese army's hilltop position, what if there is a Vietnamese army behind us? What if the Vietnamese troops at the top of the hill launched a counter-charge against us?

If we had occupied the trenches on this slope, none of these problems would have existed, and we would have been able to stand firm and be invincible.

From this point of view, Company Commander Luo is still a relatively calm person, and he will not be charged by the victory that is coming, and he will rush forward with all the troops with a hula......

After running a few dozen meters further, the hilltop position slowly appeared in our sight, and we could even see the backs of the Vietnamese troops, and we could see the white smoke rising from their guns, especially those anti-aircraft machine guns...... High on the hilltop and leaning towards our side, even the bullet casings jumping high could be seen.

But the company commander still did not give the order to start fighting...... For us, the closer we get to the Vietnamese army, the more advantageous it is, anyway, now the opportunity is already in our hands.

At this time, it was very surprising that a Vietnamese soldier walked back with a wounded man on his back, and suddenly turned around and saw so many PLA troops falling from the sky behind him, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide but couldn't scream for a long time.

"Hit!" At this time, the company commander also knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his hand and killed the Vietnamese soldier with a single shot after an order.

......The various weapons in the hands of the soldiers soon sprayed merciless bullets, and the Vietnamese troops on the hilltop position fell one by one in a pool of blood before they could barely figure out what was going on.

Some might say...... What about our army weishenme does not throw grenades? Isn't it the most haode blow to the enemy to smash a grenade at such a distance?

This is actually what the regiment commander meant, and before we went into the water, the regiment commander specially explained to us: our army is interspersed with troops, and logistics cannot be supplied, so if we can capture the enemy's weapons and equipment, we will capture as many as possible.

So we only shoot guns and don't throw grenades, after all, for us now, whether we throw grenades or not will not affect the outcome of the battle, but throwing grenades may damage a lot of equipment.

I have to admit that in such a close battle, the sniper rifle in my hand has very little chance to be useful...... This is not? I only had time to kill the two anti-aircraft machine gun shooters, and the battle was almost over, and the fighters rushed to the position with a hula and fired their guns as they went, followed by the screams of the Yue devils.

Do I rush like the warriors?

I'm not that stupid, charging with a sniper rifle is basically looking for death, if I miss the enemy with a bullet, then the enemy's bullet will beat me into a hornet's nest in the next second.

My soldiers also know the characteristics of my sniper rifle, so of course they don't think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, and that's why it's ...... Every time I charged, I waved my hand, and the three platoon commanders under my command led the soldiers up.

From this point of view, I seem to have taken advantage of something. It's just that sometimes I'd rather not be so cheap, like now...... I racked my brains for a long time, and then I crossed the pass under the water with great difficulty, and I wanted to come up and kill it happily, but I only fired these two shots......

With a bit of regret that I was not satisfied, I walked up to the top of the hill with my gun...... What I saw was the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers and the excited soldiers on the ground...... In just a few minutes, about two platoons of Vietnamese troops were knocked down by us in the position, and a large number of guns and ammunition were placed in front of us intact, which was undoubtedly an easy and huge victory.

However, the battle did not end there......

"Comrades!" Then Company Commander Luo quickly ordered again: "Immediately clear the Yue devils in the narrow valley, and don't let any of them go!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers answered the call and marched towards the pass with their guns in hand.

"Da Da ......" With a burst of gunfire, several warriors who leaned out to find the enemy knocked down and fell into the pass.

At this time, we realized that it was not as easy as we imagined to clear the Vietnamese army at the pass, because the canyon was too narrow, it could almost be said to be a crack a few meters wide, like a line of sky, there were many dead corners, and even some protruding rocks in this crack blocked our view, if we wanted to find the Vietnamese army and shoot at them, we had to lean out of the small half of the body to find it...... So this condescending advantage is gone, and for a while there is a feeling that it is difficult to start with this pass.

At this moment, there was another fierce burst of gunfire behind us, and we ran a few steps up to take a look, and saw at least one company of Vietnamese troops outflanking from the rear towards Heights 217, and they should have seen the situation here and rushed to the rescue.

If it's just a company, we're not too worried, but it's very likely that the follow-up troops of the Yue Devil will come up one after another......

Company Commander Luo and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.

The situation is not good, if the Vietnamese army in the pass is not quickly resolved, then the main force of our army will still not be able to meet us through the narrow valley, which means ...... We were divided into two parts by this pass, and we fought separately. (To be continued......)
