blood of vietnam war

Chapter 120 Seventh Battalion

It took more than half an hour for the real reinforcements to arrive. All of them were well-dressed and energetic, and the number of reinforcements was as large as a battalion.

This time, Company Commander Luo didn't dare to be as sloppy as last time. He had to let these troops wait at the foot of the mountain, and didn't release them until they contacted the headquarters for repeated confirmation.

It turns out that this is the 3rd Battalion of a certain regiment serving as the reserve team of the division... In other words, in battles, one of the troops is often reserved for maneuvering in order to deal with emergencies on the battlefield. , Another example is that a Vietnamese army special agent unit suddenly appeared near the arsenal or the headquarters... At this time, if there is no unit left for maneuvering, if you want to draw troops from the front line, you will probably have a big mess.Such troops are called reserves.

This reserve team is easily reminiscent of the reserve force, and it feels like a substitute, but this understanding is exactly the opposite of the truth, because this force is used for mobility and often has to face emergencies , so the troops with the strongest combat effectiveness are often used to act.

The division headquarters mobilized the reserve team to come up for the tunnel we discovered... This also shows that the division headquarters attaches great importance to this tunnel.

We later found out that the reason why the division headquarters transferred the reserve team was that, in addition to paying attention to the authentic "regimental command" of the Vietnamese Army that we discovered, it also considered that once the soldiers near me were mobilized, it would be very difficult. It may cause a gap in the encirclement and lead to the successful breakthrough of the "Regiment Command" of the Vietnamese Army.

Therefore, all nearby troops are ordered to strictly guard their posts and positions, strictly check the passing personnel, and prepare for battle and be ready to go into battle at any time.After that, the reserve team was sent up alone.

It has to be said that this arrangement of the superior is correct.Now the "Regimental Command" of the Vietnamese Army is already in our encirclement, and it is still trapped in the tunnel. The first thing we have to do is to surround it to ensure that it cannot escape, and then slowly consider how to smash it. The turtle shell eats it!

but……

I don't think the superiors must have considered one thing: you sent a reserve battalion... our biggest officer is still the company commander!Now that a battalion commander comes up, isn't our command right immediately deprived?

Sure enough, just like what I was worried about, the battalion commander dragged us like a [-] million people as soon as he came up. He just saluted us like a surname and said: "Okay, comrades, Leave the rest to us!"

Then, regardless of whether we wanted to or not, we looked at the map with the staff with our arms crossed and set up troops... I only saw that the company commander and I looked at each other. We originally wanted the superiors to send troops to support us, but we didn't expect to send us Chased down.

"What is this all about?" Liang Lianbing also ran up, looked at the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were busy above, and said, "The treasure we found, but we sent others to pick it up?"

"That's right!" The other soldiers said dissatisfiedly: "The wild boar is trapped, and the meat has not been eaten yet, and it was bitten by the wild boar... Is it going to change hands?"

Company Commander Luo was not reconciled, and walked forward to salute the battalion commander, and said, "Report, please ask the battalion commander to assign tasks!"

"Oh! You..." At this moment, the battalion commander seemed to think of us. He glanced at Company Commander Luo and said casually, "You... just cooperate with us in our work! Or... just guard the position on the top of the mountain. , to prevent the more devils from rushing out to seize the commanding heights!"

"Report to the battalion commander!" Of course, Company Commander Luo was dissatisfied with this reply, and stepped forward to respond: "This tunnel was discovered by our company, and we know the situation better!"

The implication of Company Commander Luo's words is that we are the protagonists here, and they have no right to kick us away like this.

However, the battalion commander didn't accept this. He smiled disdainfully and said, "You know the situation better? I said... do you know the structure of this tunnel? Or do you know how many tunnels there are?" More devils?"

Now Company Commander Luo has nothing to say, who knows what's going on in the tunnel here?

"Let's talk about it!" The battalion commander said, pointing to the mess around him: "Isn't it just to let you guard the tunnel? How do you guard it? You almost let the Yue devils rush out... I still know the situation !"

Company Commander Luo was about to explain, but the battalion commander didn't give him time at all, and said in a blunt tone: "Stop talking nonsense, and execute the order!"

Lianchang Luo was only so angry that his face turned red and then pale, but in the end he gritted his teeth and endured it, stood up and saluted and said, "Yes!"

When Captain Luo came back, his face was very ugly, as if he had choked a fly in his throat, and he kept silent for a long time with a dark face... Seeing him like this, none of the soldiers dared to ask about the situation.

In the end, I went up to pass a cigarette and said, "Company commander, don't be angry! Let's go to the top of the mountain to watch a play..."

"What do you mean?" the company commander asked, and took the cigarette casually.

I lit a match to light the fire for the company commander, and said: "I just had a fight with those Yue Devils just now... These Yue Devils are not simple, they should have fought and fought with Yankees. There is a set of things like that, look at them..."

As I said that, I raised my head towards the soldiers of the 3rd battalion: "Looking at their appearance, I know that they have never fought a war. They don't know the heights of heaven and earth, let them suffer!"

"The second platoon leader is right!" Dao Scar also came closer: "We fought so dangerously in that battle just now, we knew that the devils in this tunnel were not easy to deal with. The Yankees back then were not easy to deal with... ...The Yue Devils can even deal with Yankees, so are they still afraid of them?"

"Yeah!" Lianchang Luo nodded, and then his face gradually eased, and he exhaled a long puff of smoke like a breath.

Some people may say... Didn't you just say that the reserve team is the most effective force?Why are you underestimating them now?

This has to be said in two aspects. Before the war... this reserve team may be the most effective force.This can be seen from their equipment, isn't it?All of them are armed with submachine guns... machine guns and bazookas are much more equipped than ours. If the training is better than ordinary troops...then it can indeed be called the most powerful army.

but……

There is a saying that good steel is used on the blade, and the reserve team is a mobile force, so it will not be sent to the battlefield without any major problems. This directly leads to the possibility that this force has not fought a battle until now... this You can tell by their brand new uniforms.

So... can an army that has never been on the battlefield be considered the most effective army?I'm afraid this is a joke, just like just now... the battalion commander thought it was an easy task to guard those tunnel crossings, and still blamed us for not guarding them well!I don't think he has any skills, but he doesn't understand the situation at all!

It is for this reason that I am not angry at all.

What are you angry about?If you get angry, it's your own body. We are all people who will die at any time on the battlefield, and we still have to make trouble with ourselves?

And not only am I not angry, but I look at these jumping clowns tossing in front of me with the attitude of a veteran... This is my character, if others look down on me... I won't be so bored, angry or inferior, I On the contrary, they will ignore each other even more.

For example, right now, doesn't the battalion commander take us seriously?Aren't we supposed to be stationed at the top of the hill?

Oh well!I put the svd sniper rifle on my back, and shouted to the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were busy building bunkers and firepower points: "Hey! I said recruits...you dug the bunker so far, who are you going to hit? Where is this devil's tunnel?"

"That's right!" Dao Scar also said beside him: "This is more than 300 meters away... This 56-style submachine gun can hit 200 meters, it's not bad! You are digging for display..."

After a while, I pointed to another group of people and said: "Hey! I said... do you have common sense! Do you block the tunnel crossing with firepower? You still put your guns outside the ridgeline... What is this for? From here Can you see the tunnel entrance?"

"I said the second platoon leader, you don't know that!" Scar sang with me: "They know they can't block the Yue Devils, and they wait for them to rush out before attacking!"

"Oh!" I pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and exclaimed in an exaggerated tone: "So this is leading a snake out of its hole! I have learned..."

Before I finished speaking, Chen Yiyi let out a thud, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Affected by me, the soldiers also pointed at the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion on the top of the hill, as if they were directing the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to work.There were even some soldiers with their arms akimbo waving, pretending to be their battalion commanders and yelling at those soldiers, only to be so angry that the eyes of all the soldiers who were working hard were green.

But what can they do with us?

Firstly, we were stationed at the top of the mountain according to the order, secondly, we did not make any mistakes, and secondly... when the soldiers saw the weapons in our hands...all of them were AK47s, even mine was a sniper rifle, This equipment is much better than the Type 56 submachine guns in their hands, so we know that we are all soldiers who fought on the battlefield, so how dare we speak out.

Even if the battalion commander saw it, he couldn't help it. Who asked him to give the order?

I think, at this moment, he is probably regretting in his heart: why don't you let this group of soldiers go to guard the top of the mountain, let them stand tall and powerful, if you knew it, you would send them to guard the foot of the mountain...

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, and it is hard to say if you want to change the order, so you can only swallow this breath to your heart and just pretend that you didn't see it. (To be continued.)
