Chapter 111: Siege of the Village
Chapter 111: Siege of the Village
Fearing that enemy agents might infiltrate our positions, none of us slept that night, and we all guarded with guns in fear, and even had to carefully check the inside and outside of the tent when entering and exiting the tent.
There is no way, the people who are going to enter the tent outside are worried that they will be killed by the people inside who mistake them for Vietnamese agents, and the people here are worried that the Vietnamese agents will touch in and kill them...... It made the whole army panic. Sometimes even the people around you have to ask for the password.
Later, it was said that there were several incidents of accidental injuries among fighters from other units who were too nervous. The superiors may have been afraid that it would cause panic among the troops, so they pressed back and did not report it.
However, I believe that this is true, although the soldiers in our army are veterans, most of them have never been on the battlefield, and they were originally nervous, and now they are scared by the devil like this...... It's not all too normal for a mistaken injury to happen.
I didn't close my eyes much this night, although I already had some combat experience at this time, and I didn't have the horror I had when I first entered the battlefield, but I was also afraid that I would die in my sleep!
This fear comes not only from the Vietnamese army agents, but also from the soldiers around me, one is worried that which soldier will be nervous and think that I will be a Vietnamese army agent and pull the trigger at me, and more importantly, ...... I've only been here for a day, and I haven't even been familiar with these soldiers under my hands, so if one of them is a Vietnamese agent pretending to be a "People's Liberation Army", then my little life will be over.
So from this point of view, the biggest effect of infiltration warfare is not just a small-scale sneak attack. Its greater effect is to put psychological pressure on the enemy's troops. Makes the enemy sleepless day and night. What's even worse is that the enemy can't believe the people around him......
The most important thing for a unit is unity, and the most important thing is the overall combat effectiveness, just imagine if we can't even trust the people around us, and can't be sure whether he is his own person or the Vietnamese army agent pretending, then what combat effectiveness is there to talk about? What else is there to talk about cohesion? What else to talk about fighting?
The company commander contacted the 3rd Company that night and knew that they had indeed been attacked by Vietnamese agents, and even the 3rd Company himself did not know how the Vietnamese agents had penetrated through the mine-blocked position under the noses of the sentry, and then the fight was chaotic......
But we can't know much more than that. Because the commander of the third company himself did not understand the situation, they were still in danger until now, and they did not know whether there were any Vietnamese agents lurking in the unit, so no one dared to act rashly, and they did not even know how many people were sacrificed and how many Vietnamese agents were killed.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that we learned about the situation of the third company, and to our surprise, Zuihou was able to distinguish that only five Vietnamese agents were killed, while our soldiers suffered more than 20 casualties, including a platoon commander......
The soldiers were very upset when they heard the news from the Third Company, and although it was not our troops who suffered losses this time, they were all holding their breath because of such disproportionate casualties. And last night was also panicked because of the harassment of the Vietnamese army agents, so naturally it will be a little discouraged.
"it!" The reader, who was eating dry food, took a hard bite of the compressed biscuit. scolded: "I guess these agents are from Kuangmeng Village, let's search the village!" ”
"That's right! Let's search the village! Go find all those shitty agents! ”
"Let's go! Search the village! ”
……
The warriors are angry with the devil in their hearts, and they all know that if we don't eradicate this bane, sooner or later it will be our turn to be unlucky.
I don't have an opinion on this, I don't care if those villagers are real people or fake people, I will control them first. I've never heard of a war that will make the Vietnamese army agents safe and secure next to them. So it didn't stop the fighters from doing this.
It wasn't just me, Scar was drinking water not far away, and he was sitting on his own pretending not to see it, just like me. Chen Yiyi...... It's even more like he doesn't care about himself, sitting next to me and eating canned food.
It is said that Chen Yiyi was afraid that she was fainted by hunger when she was in Vietnam...... I saw that she was eating most of the time when she was resting, especially canned meat that the fighters couldn't eat.
Some people may say, canned meat is not a good thing? Will the warriors weishenme not be able to eat?
If you have experienced it once on the battlefield, you will know that when you see the red meat in the canned food box...... The first reaction was to think of the people he had killed, the blood that spurted out of the enemy's body and the flesh that turned out...... As a result, although canned meat is said to be a good thing, it has been completely neglected on this battlefield.
Except for Chen Yiyi, of course......
But the soldiers still didn't make it after all, and Company Commander Luo quickly stopped in front of them.
"What are you doing?" The company commander shouted angrily: "Everyone is capable, right? Acting without my orders? Is there any organizational discipline anymore? Where do you look like a revolutionary team, I think you are like a bunch of bandits......"
"Company commander!" The bayonet pleaded with a dissatisfied tone: "The third company has sacrificed so many comrades, we know that the murderer is in the village, can't we go and search?" ”
"That's it, company commander!" Wu Zhijun also pleaded: "Could it be that our comrades died in vain like this?" We can't swallow this breath! ”
"That's right! We can't swallow this breath! The other soldiers also shouted, Wu Zhijun was a squad leader, and it was said that he was a company commander before he came...... So most of the recruits here have worked under him, so naturally there is some weight in what he says.
"What are you yelling about?" The company commander didn't know how to answer, so he had to shout at the soldiers: "This is an order from the superiors, and we just want to carry it out unconditionally!" ”
"Company commander!" The bayonet still didn't want to retreat, he lowered his voice a little and said: "You just don't see it, it's our own hands, if the superiors investigate it...... Let's admit it! ”
"That's right! Let's admit it! The fighters also shouted with their bayonets.
"Second Platoon Leader!" The company commander was forced by the soldiers to be helpless, so he shouted at me angrily: "How did you lead the troops?" Your soldiers are going to rebel, and they're still sitting there motionless! Come over and deal with ......."
"Company commander!" Only then did I slowly stand up, carry my rifle and say, "It's not that I can't take them well." We're here to fight, aren't we? The enemy is right next to us, but he won't let us fight...... I don't know how to explain this! ”
I'm telling the truth. Warriors are also human beings and have their own minds. If the policy of the higher authorities does not proceed from the reality of the battlefield and let the soldiers die in vain, it is destined to be resisted by the soldiers.
"You ......" The company commander saw that I was also helping the soldiers speak, and he couldn't help but be so angry that he pointed his finger straight in front of me, but he didn't know what to say.
"So be it! The company commander ...... thought about it and suggested: "I have a compromise method, which not only does not violate the orders of the superiors, but also can combat the arrogance of the devils and make the soldiers angry, what do you think?" ”
Hearing this, the company commander's face softened a little, nodded and said, "I know you have a lot of ideas, what is the way to say it quickly!" ”
"Company commander...... "I couldn't help but hesitate when I heard this. said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say it here!" ”
"Hmm!" The company commander nodded, and quickly understood what I meant, after all, there are many people here, and most of our company are newly assigned recruits, and no one dares to guarantee that there are no Vietnamese agents mixed in here.
"Comrades!" I turned to the bayonet and the others and said, "Go back!" Impulsiveness is useless, it's not like we haven't searched this village, can we find anything? Rest assured, soldiers, we will find a proper way to deal with the Vietnamese agents! Those sacrificed warriors will not die in vain! ”
Since I said so, the bayonet and the others stopped insisting, and the soldiers dispersed after giving an explanation.
"What's the solution?" As soon as the soldiers dispersed, the company commander couldn't wait to ask, in fact, although he was forced to stop the soldiers from coming because of the orders of his superiors. But in fact, I still hope that I can teach those Vietnamese army agents a lesson. But then again, if there is a chance to teach the Vietnamese army agents a lesson, then who would not want to! Company Commander Luo is not a fool!
"Company commander!" I lowered my voice and said, "The superiors only told us to take care of the Vietnamese people, didn't they?" ”
"You still need to say this!" The company commander replied angrily.
"If it's a Vietnamese agent...... Let's fight! ”
"What so much nonsense! I knew that it was a Vietnamese agent, and if I couldn't fight, I wouldn't be able to fight. So what kind of battle is there to fight? "The company commander was getting a little impatient.
After a pause, he continued: "The question is, can you tell which are Vietnamese army agents and which are Vietnamese civilians? ”
"People won't go out in the middle of the night, right?" I said, "How big is Meng Village?" How many roads are there to get out of the village? Now that we've been sure that the enemy agents are hiding in the village, we might as well fence the village for defense......"
"Hmm! Not bad......" Hearing this, the company commander couldn't help but nod his head, revealing a contemplative expression.
This principle is actually very simple, if we defend on our own positions, then the area to be defended will be large, even if a company has a high ground, our whole regiment has dozens of companies, not to mention dozens of high grounds, no matter how much we take precautions and how careful we are on such a long front, there will be no difficulty for Vietnamese agents to find opportunities in this situation.
However, now that we can almost confirm that the enemy agents are from that village, we only need to send a few troops to block the main road in the village...... The Vietnamese army agents had difficulty even coming out.
"Scar!" The company commander quickly summoned Scar as well.
The three of them squatted on the ground, and the company commander picked up a branch and drew a sketch on the ground, pointing to the three directions on the map and saying: "There are three roads out of the village in Meng Village, and the one in the east is the widest, and it is also facing the position of our army...... After confirming that he is an agent of the Vietnamese army, he will be killed! Is the mission clear? ”
"Clear!" Scar and I answered.
"Company commander!" I asked again, "What if...... What if it's against the common people? ”
"Hit it, hit it! What so much nonsense! The company commander also looked ruthless, and said with a straight face: "If the superiors are held accountable, I will support them!" ”
I was waiting for the company commander's words, and I glanced at Scar. There is no doubt that with the words of the company commander, we can let go of our hands and feet.
"Be careful, though!" After thinking about it, the company commander continued: "To catch thieves, you have to catch dirty and traitors, and you must have evidence when you shoot...... Particularly...... It's the common people! Do you understand? ”
The company commander deliberately lengthened his voice when he said the words "common people", so Scar and I quickly understood and answered "Understood!" ”。
When the company commander walked away, I couldn't help but look at the company commander's back and sweat wildly - I thought the company commander was a benevolent sheep, but I didn't expect that he was so ruthless that he couldn't even compare with his scar, he was a wolf in sheep's clothing! (To be continued......)
