Chapter Eighty-Nine: After the Break
"I would have thought of taking a car and blatantly ......" When we passed through a few checkpoints without danger, Chen Yiyi, who was sitting next to me, smiled: "I don't know what you think, so many people and so many cars, and you really did it!" ”
I looked at my watch and replied with some concern, "Let's wait until we get to the evacuation point before we say anything about praise!" ”
"What do you mean......"
"There's a good chance that there are Vietnamese agents tracking us." I asked, "Do you remember the Vietnamese agents who attacked our army's artillery radar idea several times before?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Yiyi showed a solemn look on her face: "That's really a difficult character, if they are tracking, it won't be so easy to get rid of!" ”
"Yes!" I said, "They haven't caught up until this time, and I think it's because the Viet Nak communication equipment is too weak to share information effectively." On the other hand, they don't know our real destination, and they don't know which direction to chase if they want to. ”
The two points I mentioned are actually very easy to understand, needless to say the former, the more devils are all very poor, and the weapons and equipment in their hands and even the food they eat are all given by the Soviet Union, of course, a considerable part of these equipment and food are the reserves of China's aid in the past.
The communication equipment aided by the Soviet Union is not nothing, and it can even be said that there are a lot of them, even radio jamming equipment, but one is that the communication equipment of the Soviet Union's severe cold climate has a high failure rate in the humid and hot environment of Vietnam, and the other is that the Vietnamese army is very large, which makes its communication equipment strictly insufficient, and most of these equipment are still concentrated in the front line.
The problem with this is...... Now that we are going to the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, it is difficult for the Vietnamese army, which lacks an information-sharing mechanism and does not have spy satellites, to grasp our movements.
The latter is the advantage of having a helicopter: as long as there is a suitable place for the helicopter to land, it can be used as an extraction point.
So we settled on the first evacuation point. Second evacuation point, etc. As soon as you feel that the first evacuation point is wrong, you can become an upward transfer direction. This also brought great difficulties to the tracking of the Vietnamese army.
But I believe that these are only temporary, and the Vietnamese army agents will soon find a way to deal with it.
"How long will it take to get to the evacuation point?" I asked the soldier in front of me who was sitting in the cab.
"It's going to take more than ten minutes!" Liang Lianbing looked at the map and replied.
At this time, in order to facilitate the front and rear contact, the military car opened a small window between the front and the cabin...... Not to mention, this small window is really suitable, at least in the event of an emergency, so that there will be no communication between the front and the back.
"Battalion commander!" At this time, the correspondent reported to me: "The commander of the third platoon reported that the convoy was followed by a few side three-wheelers, and it was not far away!" ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but frown.
"Discovered!" Chen Yiyi said.
"Hmm!" I nodded.
Obviously, this is the Vietnamese army agent who noticed something strange when he was chasing Scar and his group all over the mountain. Then I chased all the way here.
It's a good thing, and if it's been a few minutes late, we might have been able to get to the extraction point and evacuate under the cover of a helicopter.
Later I learned that fortunately it didn't go so smoothly, because the Vietnamese agents had already guessed the real intention of our march into the hinterland, which was to evacuate by helicopter. Therefore, when they drove the side three wheels to follow, they also carried a dozen SAM anti-aircraft missiles.
It is conceivable that if these Vietnamese devils with anti-aircraft missiles are allowed to sneak up with them, then our losses will not be calculated.
"All of them!" I immediately ordered, "Stop and walk instead!" ”
Needless to say, since there are three sides of the Vietnamese army hanging behind them, the plan of the Vietnamese army should be to attack from both sides. Other words. At this time, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army had already set up a trap on the road ahead, just waiting for us to fall into this trap...... The Vietnamese agents who followed behind launched another onslaught. At that time, it was difficult for us to fly even with wings.
So the wisest option is to ditch the road and head into the jungle now.
The convoy stopped with a "squeak", and the soldiers jumped out of the car and carried the wounded and supplies on the car as fast as they could, and disappeared into the grass next to the road in a few minutes.
This is the advantage of marching in Vietnam, either the grass that is as tall as a person or the tree that cannot be seen at a glance, and when you stick into it, it is like a fish entering the sea.
However, we were not so relaxed, mainly because we had to face the problem of too many wounded again after leaving the road, and secondly, we were not familiar with the terrain, which the Vietnamese army undoubtedly knew very well.
"Battalion commander!" After a while, the soldiers of Liang Company, who were in charge of covering tasks in the back, reported: "The more devils have caught up, and all of them have three rounds of driving, and there are two platoons in large numbers!" ”
"Leave something for them." I say.
"Yes!" Liang Lian soldiers answered.
Within a dozen minutes, we heard several mine explosions from the rear...... Of course, this is the masterpiece of Liang Lien Bing and others, whose means of laying mines are beyond even the protection of Vietnamese agents.
As soon as I heard the sound of the mine explosion, I couldn't help frowning: This is also telling us how fast the Vietnamese army agents move, it is not possible to go on like this, it is the Vietnamese army agents who are chasing us, and we are carrying a large number of wounded and overdrawn reconnaissance companies, although they have rested in the car for a while, but the speed is still not comparable to that of the Vietnamese army, and it will not take long for them to catch up.
Of course, at this time, we were more and stronger than the two platoons of the Vietnamese army in terms of strength and firepower, but the problem was that the other units of the Vietnamese army were also on the way, once they were dragged back...... None of us can leave.
There were no gunshots behind him.
That's the most terrifying thing, if it's like in the TV movie, the people chasing after you shoot indiscriminately in front as they run...... Although it looks like a catch-up, it is actually telling the target your distance and position, and the target only needs to rely on hearing to run in the opposite direction.
But if we don't shoot, as the Vietnamese agents do now, we don't even know how far away the Vietnamese are from us, maybe behind us, or they have crept around us from the flanks and laid traps...... After all, the Vietnamese agents are faster than us and the terrain is more familiar than us, so it is not difficult to do this.
So this makes us suspicious, running fast or slow, always feeling that there is a crisis all around us...... This is also a form of psychological warfare, which is especially effective when it comes to "chasing prey".
This situation certainly cannot continue, and now we seem to have no better way than to keep laying mines behind us.
Ten minutes later, we ran along the mountain road to a nameless plateau...... To be exact, it is a cliff, a mountain road that only allows one car to pass through the guò through the halfway of the cliff, although this mountain road through the cliff is not very long, only more than 200 meters, but in the middle of the turn of the "S" shaped bend, there is no doubt that it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack.
When I saw this terrain, I stopped, thought about it, and ordered the soldiers of Liang Company who were just about to pass by me: "Third platoon commander, take your soldiers to garrison in place!" ”
"Yes!" Liang Lianbing responded without thinking about it.
"Deputy Company Commander Wang led the troops to continue to advance towards the evacuation point!" I continued to order: "The second platoon is responsible for covering the reconnaissance company, and the reconnaissance company must be delivered safely to the evacuation point!" ”
"Yes!" Li Zuolong responded.
"Battalion commander!" After a pause, Li Zuolong asked, "What about you?" ”
"I'll stay here and command the battle......"
"How's that going to work?" Wang Chunxiang immediately objected: "It should be our reconnaissance company that stays here and breaks off!" ”
"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing also objected: "You go with the big army, and leave it to me here!" Don't worry, as long as I still have a breath of air, I will never let the Yue devil take a step from here! ”
Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao also looked at me stunned, but they didn't say anything.
In fact, I don't want to stay here after the break, and anyone knows that the chance of survival after the break is almost zero.
But I had to do it...... Scar and a platoon split up with us a few hours ago, and Li Zuolong was responsible for covering the reconnaissance company, and the only one platoon that could stay here to intercept the Vietnamese army was a platoon of Liang Company's soldiers.
Although the Liang Lian soldiers can also stand alone, but the opponent is the Vietnamese army agents, not only the Vietnamese army agents but also a steady stream of other Vietnamese troops, although our army occupies a dangerous place, but it is not easy to block the Vietnamese army in the case of such a disparity in strength.
And once the Liang Lian soldiers were taken down by the Yue devils not long after, then we would lose a platoon in vain, and everyone would be trapped in the encirclement of the Vietnamese army and difficult to get out.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help gritting my teeth and ordered: "Where is so much nonsense, leave part of the ammunition behind, and hurry up and withdraw!" ”
Everyone was uncharacteristically unusual, and they all looked at me with a sad face.
"What are you doing in a daze?" I scolded, "Execute the order!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
……
The warriors responded with a rambling voice.
After all, they also know very well that this is a battlefield, and they should unconditionally obey the commander's orders no matter what the situation is on the battlefield, and on the other hand, they also know that now is not the time to discuss or hesitate, otherwise the losses and casualties may be much greater than imagined.
Under this consideration, the soldiers reluctantly unloaded some of the ammunition and greeted each other with the soldiers who stayed behind.
"Let's stay!" Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao walked up together.
That's when I realized why they didn't say anything just now, and they were still going to do it.
"No way!" Without thinking about it, I replied, "You are the only two people in the team who are familiar with the terrain, who do you leave to lead the way?" ”
Seeing that they still wanted to argue, I pushed over with one sentence: "Obey orders!" (To be continued......)
