blood of vietnam war

Chapter 120 Diary

The next day, we followed Captain Luo's order to search around Luke.

It is more appropriate to say that it is searching...in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is setting fire.

Let's just go into the jungle and search for devils?It's not that it can't be done, after all, these places are now occupied by our army, and the Yue Guizi only have those agents hiding in the jungle... It's okay for these agents to make trouble or sneak attack, but if they really confront us head-on Not an opponent yet.The gap in troop strength, equipment, and supplies is obvious, and it is a question of whether Yue Guizi can even have enough food.

But...if a simpler method can be used, if the same or even better strategic goals can be achieved with fewer casualties...then why not do it?

This method is: burn!

The order issued by the superior is to use the method of "beating, frying and burning", isn't it?Then what are we still worried about?

But if you want to talk about scruples, there are really some. First of all, you can’t burn randomly. It’s not good to burn villages in Vietnam, and it’s even worse to burn yourself... No one can tell about fire, and in addition, Vietnam is everywhere. It's a jungle, maybe no one can control it when it burns.

So do a lot of prep work before burning.

The first thing is to arrange firepower points around the mountain. This firepower point is to prevent the Vietnamese army agents from breaking out... If we light this mountain, the Vietnamese army agents will run to that mountain. When we light that mountain again, the Vietnamese army The agent hides back again... so aren't we doing futile work?

Therefore, before burning, the mountain must be surrounded by troops.

This may be difficult to achieve in the ancient cold weapon era, but for now...it seems to be to arrange a few machine guns and mortars on a certain commanding height, and then arrange a few soldiers with AK47 to guard at a certain important place. It's fine.As long as they are properly arranged, these firepower points will occupy all the favorable terrain and form crossfire with each other to tightly block a high ground.

The second is to be able to control the fire and prevent it from burning to other hills.As I said earlier, if the fire is out of control, there is a high chance of chaos.

It seems that it is not difficult to do this, the way is to open a "fire road".

What is "Fire Road"?Jungle to jungle... the adjacent trees cut it down, the thatch felled, and if the trouble wasn't fast enough, a grass-free road was split on both sides, and a fire was put in the middle... and that's it A "fire road".

Therefore, the so-called fire road is actually a road that cannot be burned by fire.Because of this road, the trees and grass that can be burned have been cut down or burned first.The road formed a circle at the foot of the hill, so that the fire could be contained on this hill.

Speaking of which, opening the "Fire Road" gave me a headache for a while, because I grew up and only used a hoe when I was digging a coffin... But now the supplementary soldiers under me have a place to play, they When you were a soldier, what you did was pick up hoes or build infrastructure, right?So they are familiar with this line of work, put down their guns and started working in full swing, and within a long time, a fire road around the foot of the mountain was completed.

The next thing is easy. For an ordinary person, it may be a bit difficult to set fire to a humid jungle like Vietnam, but for an army...it is pure fun.

There are many ways to set fire. The most simple and direct way is to pour gasoline on it, and the container used is the helmet of the Vietnamese devil... This thing seems to be everywhere in this place, and sometimes ordinary Vietnamese people have it in their homes.Take a few at hand, it is a good ladle... Filled with gasoline, it is like a sprinkling festival and splashed on the trees and grass on the opposite side. After lighting a match, the flame will "jump" up the mountain , Just like soldiers charging upwards in a neat queue, not to mention how spectacular it is.

The most practical way is to use incendiary bombs.

It is practical because using incendiary bombs can not only achieve the purpose of setting fire to mountains, but also give "veterans" a chance to practice.

Don't the "veterans" even know what a bazooka is?Didn't the mortar fire?Well now, a great practice opportunity is in front of them.

Four zero ones, or handing over a mortar with one incendiary bomb, and then pointing to a big tree 200 meters away, ordered: "If you miss it, do a hundred push-ups for me!"

Regardless of whether the "veteran" hit or missed, the incendiary bomb will explode a ball of sparks on the mountain, and then the spark will continue to expand and lead the flames to the top of the mountain...

So in less than half a day, several mountains around Luke Village were burned to the ground.

In fact, not only our company did this, but other troops were also doing the same thing, so that in the next few days, the air was full of thick smoke, sometimes making people breathless.

Have any more devils burned their butts and ran out?Of course there is.

We have an unwritten rule, which is to look at the gun and not the person, as long as he has a gun in his hand and a grenade in his waist... It doesn't matter whether he raises his hand or not, just say "hit!".

The reason why there is such a rule is because similar things happened in other troops. The Yue Guizi pretended to surrender and surrendered with their guns... Who would have thought that they would carry a pack of explosives on their backs and pounce on them when they were close to the firepower of our army? They died together with several soldiers of our army, and then a group of Vietnamese troops broke through our army's defensive circle...

So we know: only the dead Yue Guizi are the most credible.

Some clever victors know how to do it. Before they come out, they not only throw away the guns and grenades, but also strip themselves naked... This is indeed very clever. We have no reason to shoot him anymore, but Chen Yiyi always seemed a little uncomfortable at this time.

After burning for a day and a night, after the fire was extinguished, it was time for us to go up the mountain to search.

At this time, there is no big problem left for us. All we have to do... It seems to be to find a cave in the piles of ashes. ...

Spitfire guns, four-zero fire, blasting barrels, dynamite packs and gasoline are the favorite weapons of soldiers.Whenever a suspicious cave is found, first blast it with [-] fire from a long distance. Of course, it is still for those "veterans" to do it.Then get close and burn it with a flamethrower... If you are still worried, or if you hear a sound inside, then okay... Gasoline is poured into it for a while, and after it is lit, use a dynamite bag to blow up the hole.

Some people may say that if the hole is blown up and sealed, the gasoline in there will not be able to burn if there is no air?If the gasoline can't burn, it means that the air inside has been exhausted. Can the people there still live?Even if he could survive, would he still have a way to crawl out of the blown hole?Even if he has nine lives and can't die like this, I'm afraid when he crawls out, we'll all finish this battle and return home!

The advantage of burning is not only that it can clear away the Yue devils hiding in the jungle, but also... the burned mountains are all bare and dark, and it is clear at a glance, let alone the Vietnamese army. It is hidden in it, as long as anyone is not lying on their stomachs, walking on it will look like a lice on a bald man's head, that's obvious.

This is the order of the superior: "beat, fry, burn".

To fight is to fight around the mountain to fight the escaped devils.

Bombing is blowing up a cave, no matter whether there are people or not, it is impossible to become a hiding place if it collapses.

Burning is of course burning mountains, and once it is burned, the battle will be easy to fight, and the jungle battle will become a battlefield battle!

What impressed me most was when I searched the mountains for the third time in the south of Luke...

This mountain has to be searched over and over again, because those jumpers are sometimes like mice. We search here and they hide there, and we search there and they turn back.

I searched several times, and sometimes I found a cave with a very hidden entrance. For example, this time... there will be a hole in the crevice of the rock. If Xu Guochun hadn't accidentally dropped the magazine to Falling in... No one can find the hole.

This hole is troublesome, because there are stones outside, and the bazooka can't be used unless the whole stone can be blown away.Moreover, the crevice of the stone turned a corner, and the flamethrower couldn't inject fire into it... In the end, I had no choice but to pretend to walk away noisyly, and then sent Li Zuolong in.

The great thing about Li Zuolong is that his hand skills are great. If this skill is outside, it may be useless, but in this narrow tunnel, it is a superb artifact... ak47 can hardly turn around in it, and the grenade is thrown out. Even if you blow up the enemy, you will also blow up yourself. The pistol is still easy to use, but it is not as fast as Li Zuolong's hand...

So after a while, I heard a few screams from inside... Then Li Zuolong responded easily: "It's solved, three devils! I'm so hungry that I don't have the strength to fight!"

After it was over, Li Zuolong first threw out a few weapons, and then brought out a booklet and handed it to me: "Platoon leader, I found a book with Vietnamese characters in it. I don't know what it is written in. I can't tell It's information..."

I took it over and took a look, but it was a diary. I flipped through it casually, and the last few pages were written like this:

February 2: 18 people were injured, 3 people died, and they didn't eat.

19th: In the first battle to attack the Chinese, Yong and Ping sacrificed their lives without eating.

20: No food to eat

21 said: I had no food, but fortunately I caught a mouse.

22nd: At 3:[-] p.m., I heard rocket fire outside the cave.The Red Army members sacrificed.

23: The enemy set fire to the mountain, Mom and Dad, I don’t want to die... Yun, my wife, how is my son?

24th: I survived, but I don't know how long I can live.

Bleeding and hating wounds,

The flakes are used as the bed to keep out the rain.

Life and death together,

There is no pity when you meet the industry.

Looking at this diary, I couldn't help being silent, especially the last poem... Although the writing is not very good, I can see the despair and helplessness in it.

Yueguizi are also human beings, and they also have parents, wives and children.Originally, our relationship with Vietnam was still comrades and brothers, why is it like this now?

We can only blame them for picking the wrong leader and leading them on a wrong path... (To be continued.)
