Chapter 21: Fighting for Life (I)
There was a sharp whistling in the sky, and I roared, "Lie down! ”
Before the words fell, a single shell fell in the jungle, and more than a dozen large trees with the thickness of the bowl mouth were torn to pieces at the same time, and countless pieces of shrapnel were mixed with the soil and sawdust and spread out at subsonic speed, deeply embedded in the surrounding trees in the sound of "crackling horns".
Looking at the black smoke rising into the air, the commandos only felt that they wanted to cry without tears, for three days, everyone had to run more than 200 miles in the dense forest, from time to time they had to encounter fierce battles with the enemy, from time to time they had to be bombarded by 155 mm heavy artillery from a distance, and from time to time someone stepped on an infantry mine in exhaustion, and was blown off their legs without timely detection, and finally they could only swallow buttons soaked in cyanide chloride to be loyal to the country.
In just three days, our commando team, which originally had 270 men, was reduced to 136 men, and almost everyone was wounded.
Everyone was lying down in the jungle, and I ran to Major Fang Xiang with my waist bent over, and took out a military map from my body, which had not yet been spread out on the ground, when another shell fell near us, and a rain of sand fell from the sky, hitting the steel helmet we were wearing, making a rustling sound.
Fang Xiang shouted angrily and anxiously: "I'm fucking, which enemy of the high ground is making waves?" Lao Liu, come here! ”
The Indian army is equipped with the HF-77B heavy artillery produced by the Swedish military factory, which can accurately hit targets within 40 kilometers on flat ground, and in three days we lost 15 brothers because of this long-range artillery, and if it were not for the fact that there were trees in the dense forest, the casualty figure would have multiplied geometrically.
This kind of long-range artillery shells are heavy, and in the absence of automatic loading equipment, four soldiers are required to pick up the shells with steel tongs to feed them into the chamber, and they can fire a cannon every forty seconds, as long as they can judge the point of fire from which the enemy fired the shells, they can lead the assault team to get rid of the heavy artillery bombardment.
Fang Xiang shouted Lao Liu is the only company commander beside him, Lao Liu is also like me with a cat waist with a skillful military movement to quickly harass us, I took out a red and blue pencil and a compass, carefully drew a few coordinate functions on the map, through the focus point of the shell to quickly judge the enemy's position and distance.
This jungle combat skill is something that I sacrificed two weeks at the age of eighteen to gnaw at the supervision and scolding of my father, who said it was a necessary military skill for a competent commander, but I always regarded it as the most frustrating skill. On the modern battlefield, the units with companies as units are equipped with satellite communication equipment, and through information sharing, they can quickly grasp the distribution of the enemy's and our military forces on the battlefield.
It is only now that I deeply understand my father's concern and hope for me, and even Fang Xiang, a high-achieving student who graduated from the regular army military academy, cannot calculate a complex set of functional equations in one minute like me. It is precisely because of this unique skill that I was able to lead my brothers in the commando team to miraculously get rid of the double attack of the Indian army's firepower, heavy artillery and patrol again and again. Like a magician who turns his hands into clouds and hands into rain, he intersperses the border between life and death, constantly inflicting heavy losses on the Indian army.
When I drew three intersecting colored lines on the map and finally converged to one point, my pupils suddenly dilated, and I hissed and shouted, "Lao Liu, be careful......"
Lao Liu raised his head strangely and showed me a smile, and when the sharp exhalation suddenly sounded above his head, his smile turned into absolute consternation, and it only took twenty seconds for the enemy to fire a second shot!
The cannonball fell at Lao Liu's feet, and the steel helmet he was wearing was blown up and flew straight up more than 20 meters, turning more than a dozen times in the air before falling to the ground with a crisp sound of "dang", and rolled to my feet.
Fang Xiang stared at the steel helmet and was silent for a full five seconds, then licked his dry lips and asked, "Yin Xue, what's going on?" ”
I also stared at the steel helmet and said in a deep voice: "We are surrounded, there is a fire point controlled by the Indian army in front of us, on the left, and on the right, and we are now within the attack range of three 155 mm guns, and no matter which direction we advance, we will inevitably be blocked by a commanding point of fire guarded by a whole company." ”
After Fang Xiang said "oh", he looked at me with a hint of hope and asked, "If we retreat immediately now, what chance do you think there is to avoid the enemy's encirclement?" ”
"I don't think there's a chance." I replied with a wry smile: "I have been feeling uneasy in my heart for the past few days, and I don't understand this uneasiness until now, the commander of the Indian military who commanded this operation is a very terrifying genius opponent. From the initial ambush of the transport plane to the three-day continuous encirclement and suppression, we were unable to focus on the overall situation like him because we were in the battle situation, and we were actually played by him. Our marching route has been under his precise strikes and guidance again and again, gradually stepping into this mortal situation, in this battle he has the time, place, people and three decisive factors, we have been forced into a desperate situation by him, can only wait for him to play the role of the wise man who catches the turtle in the urn. ”
Drawing two arrows on the map, I said softly: "This blue arrow is the India-Tibet border special forces of the Indian army's super strong brigade in the border array, and under the condition that the strength of the soldiers is basically equal, as long as there is only one battalion of soldiers, I can eat to death." The red arrow is the Assam infantry unit, they are a strong local armed force, the basic combat unit is the battalion, the unit we suddenly encountered in the dense forest three days ago is estimated to be the Assam infantry unit, although their combat capability is limited, but as long as they entangle us for twelve minutes, we will be bitten by the Indian Air Force. Now these two forces, together with three commanding heights of firepower, have completely hanged us on any way of life. Turning back will only allow us to meet these two forces early and be forced to fight them in a decisive battle with which there is no chance of victory! ”
Fang Xiang stared fiercely at the map in front of him, even the shells that exploded in the vicinity and the screams of the soldiers being blown up could not make him move slightly, and after a full two minutes, he said in a low voice: "For a commander like me, who usually follows the rules and always likes to use the right path to conduct wars, this is indeed a dead end. Fu Yinxue, you are different, although we have only been together for three days, but I already firmly believe that you are an extraordinary person who does things rebelliously but can open up the way of the stream, you have the heroic charm that makes me jealous, and you can unconsciously attract the person around you and inspire them to burst out with the strongest combat power. If that's all you have, you still have excellent judgment, you know how to make trade-offs, and you have a better grasp of the battlefield to advance and retreat, and a character like you will never allow yourself to be played by the enemy. I firmly believe that you will definitely break the game with your strength!! You just need more space and power. ”
The two of us looked at each other, carefully looking at each other's hidden thoughts in the depths of their hearts, no one would like a subordinate who he couldn't control at all, and there were faint signs of meritorious service, and it was already the limit that Fang Xiang could tolerate to promote me to the platoon commander, but in the face of an increasingly bad situation on the battlefield, he could only continue to deepen his dependence on me.
Now that we are facing a desperate situation of death on all sides, if we want to get out alive, the two existing commanders of our two commandos must eliminate all barriers in the shortest possible time and concentrate all our minds and forces to fight their way out of the encirclement.
"There is only one way," I stared at Fang Xiang tightly, and said in a deep voice: "That is to fight for our lives and use our blood and flesh to pave a way of life on this land!" ”
I pointed to a position on the map and said: "As long as we retreat back to the five-mile road, we will get out of the coverage area of the enemy's three fire points and heavy artillery, and here there is a hillside with an elevation of 236 meters, and behind it is a deep trench that makes it impossible for the enemy to organize a large-scale attack, and without any worries, our assault team will rush to build some temporary fortifications on it, and then lay anti-tank mines, I estimate that with only 50 people, we can forcibly drag the two enemy armies for more than 12 hours." ”
"Then we can use the remaining eighty people to form a death squad to storm the commanding heights of the firepower of the right flank of the Indian Asan, as long as we break through this commanding height, Tawang will become a defenseless beauty in front of us, and we will be at our disposal to take !!"
Fang Xiang exclaimed, "You are crazy, you actually want to use a death squad of eighty people to attack the high ground defended by a company?" With their mortars and high-level heavy machine guns, plus the bombers of the Air Force, they can wipe you all out at the foot of the mountain. ”
"I'm fucking crazy!" I laughed wildly and said, "In this case, only by fighting for your life can you have a chance of survival, and if it's a big deal, you and I will die and die for the country." Although our corpses will sleep forever on this land, and will be blamed and scolded by thousands of people, we can be worthy of ourselves and the red military soul passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese troops! ”
"Follow the eldest brother to die on the battlefield, we die without regrets!"
The shouts of Changsun Ting, Yang Qing, Yang Yu, and Bai Ruiqi sounded around me at the same time.
I shouted wildly: "Yang Qing! ”
Ignoring the enemy's shells that kept falling near us, Yang Qing suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Here!" ”
I said calmly: "Give you the best sniper rifle, choose the best angle yourself, you can dodge far away when we attack the enemy's fire point, you don't need to shoot, but when the enemy bomber appears, you have to use a rifle to shoot it down, can you do it?" ”
Asking a soldier to use a sniper rifle to hit the world's most powerful two-seater strategic bomber is already an almost idiotic order, Yang Qingzhi met my eyes full of strong confidence and hope, and after ten seconds of silence, he suddenly puffed up his chest and roared: "Yes! Just let me fire three shots, and I can solve the time difference between the high-speed movement of the plane and the flight of bullets! ”
"Okay, if you succeed, we have a glimmer of hope, if you fail, we will end up together!" I shouted, "Greech! ”
Bai Ruiqi also jumped up as violently as Yang Qing and shouted, "Here! ”
"When attacking the point of fire, the enemy's 155mm heavy guns will be useless because of the close distance, and the biggest threat to us is their high-level dual-purpose heavy machine guns, your task is to suppress their heavy firepower with sniper rifles, as long as anyone dares to appear in front of those two heavy machine guns, shoot and kill! Can it be done?! ”
Barrick roared, "Die to complete the mission!" I couldn't suppress those two heavy machine guns, so I fucking carried a zha medicine bag and went to pick them up!! ”
"Changsun Ting, Yang Yu!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
I looked at the two of them and said sharply: "Give you fifty men, can you hold on to your place for 12 hours, withstand the intensive attack of more than two battalions of the enemy and the repeated bombardment of the Indian Air Force?" ”
Changsun Ting and Yang Yu glanced at each other and said in unison, "Yes!" ”
It's just one word, but everyone present can clearly feel that they are more determined to win than Tarzan.
I slowly stood up, saluted Fang Xiang, and said loudly: "Please give the captain an order, I will personally lead the death squad to take down the enemy's right flank position!" Let those Indian Ah San know what the real [***] soul is! I want to let the whole world see clearly in this battlefield that even if it is another 10, 20, 100 years, the Chinese Army will still be an invincible lion in the world!! ”
Fang Xiang looked at me deeply, and then looked at the soldiers around him who were so high that their fighting spirit was incomparably high, he finally roared: "If you want to die, let's die together, I will go with Changsun Ting and them to block the enemy's attack, although I have no right to give orders, but this is already what everyone expects, Fu Yinxue From this moment on, you are the company commander!" If I die in battle, you will lead the entire assault team and inflict the greatest damage on the enemy in your own way!! ”
