Chapter 120 The Attack of the Eighth Battalion

After we made fun of the 3rd Battalion, Captain Luo's tone was more than half out.So he asked the instructor who had been silent beside him, "What is the origin of these three battalions?"

Only then did I remember that Instructor Yu was sent directly from the headquarters to our company. Since these three battalions are the reserve team of the headquarters, Instructor Yu should know a little about the situation of this unit.

The instructor cleared his throat, and replied with some embarrassment: "The third battalion commander's surname is Wang, and he belongs to a certain regiment. This regiment is the Red Army. It has been rated as a 'Great Merit Troupe' and 'First Class Meritorious Troupe' several times, especially the third battalion, with its excellent military quality and firm political stance, it is a famous 'political work model battalion'..."

"Oh!" I understood something when I heard this.

What is a firm political stance? Dare to fight, dare to kill, dare to fight, and be progressive in thinking, clean in style, not afraid of sacrifice, etc... But to be honest, these things may improve morale to a certain extent and enable soldiers to fight on the battlefield. Fight bravely, but it is often unrealistic to be brave for the sake of bravery, and even cause some unnecessary sacrifices for the sake of bravery.

These thoughts of mine may not be agreed by anyone in this era, but if it is in modern times... then basically no one will object.

Take the old man for example. Occasionally, a few old men came down to see him, and when chatting with him, they would say something like this: "Soldiers today are different from when we fought in the past! We used to fight ...If you encounter an enemy bunker or firepower point, you will go up with the explosive package and the blaster. If you still charge like this now, not only will you not be regarded as a hero, but you may also be kicked out of the army... It’s enough to report the coordinates and call for artillery support! A few shells can do a good job, why rush with an explosive bag!”

The old man would always sigh at this time: "Oh! This change is really big, we are all out of date!"

And now, the 3rd Battalion in front of us may be such a firm political force.

But I wanted to think about it... but I didn't really believe that someone would do such a reckless thing, until I saw a few teams of PLA soldiers arranged near the tunnel entrance...

"What are they doing?" I asked.

Scar smiled wryly, and said, "Didn't you see their preparations? Blow up the tunnel entrance and rush in..."

"What?" I said in disbelief: "Just rushing in like this? Isn't that sending you to death?"

"I won't just rush in like this!" Captain Luo's answer made me breathe a sigh of relief, but I was only half relieved when Captain Luo added: "They will throw a few grenades before rushing in." go in!"

"Then how can we fight like this?" Although I didn't like the 3rd Battalion, I couldn't bear to see them going so hard.

"Otherwise, what else can I do?" Captain Luo's rhetorical question left me speechless.

This problem seems to be a bit tricky. If you say that the Vietnamese army in the tunnel can be solved with explosives, rocket launchers or flamethrowers... then no one will believe it. The tunnel in the old street has already explained the problem. Most of the Yueguizi’s tunnels have waterproof, fireproof, anti-explosion and even anti-virus facilities. As for how the Yueguizi did it...you can find out by looking at the tunnels in the old street.

This bombing, once the bombing, even the tunnel entrance collapsed. Although the enemy can't get out, we can't get in either... The more devils can survive inside as long as there is water and food, we can only do it outside. stare.

What about the water...Let's not say that there is no water on our mountain, even if there is water, the Yue Devil only needs to open a mouthful towards the other side of the cliff.

It's even easier to prevent fire and poison, just use a few sandbags to block the tunnel entrance.

So there is no other way, if you want to quickly get rid of the Vietnamese army below, someone still has to go in.

But this person went in... I can't imagine what the outcome will be.

Just thinking about it, the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion had already started to do it.

First of all, several people installed a small explosive package on the tunnel entrance. The reason for installing the small explosive package was because they were worried that the tunnel entrance would be blown up, and then retreated after lighting the fuse.

"Boom!" A few bursts of fire and smoke exploded.

Before the smoke dissipated, several soldiers rushed toward the entrance of the tunnel holding grenades... They threw a few grenades into the tunnel, and a few seconds later, a squad of troops jumped down the tunnel with their guns in their hands... …

I have to say that the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion are pretty good at coordinating. The blasting blasters, the grenade thrower responsible for throwing the grenade, the charging charge... each has their own division of labor, and each step is done in an orderly manner. The time and movements of the people and the people who came down are similar... No wonder it is called a force with excellent military quality and firm political stance.

However, I don't believe that they can achieve any results in this way.

My idea was quickly verified. The troops of that squad jumped down one after another, and before they jumped halfway to the other end of the cliff, there was a scream...

Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, the commander of the 3rd Battalion ran to the other side of the cliff to take a look, and hurriedly waved and shouted: "Don't move! The mission is cancelled!"

I, Company Commander Luo and others don't know what happened, but one thing is certain...the mission must have failed.

Later I found out that this tunnel entrance is not something you can just jump down, because the Yue Guizi opened up the tunnel entrance to the cliff, and usually use a board to block it for their own people to enter and exit from the side wall. Take that board away when threatened... So when the soldiers jumped down, they went directly to the cliff...

I have to admit it's a damn good idea, since grenades, bazookas, flamethrowers... all of that don't work.

This made the commander of the 3rd Battalion very angry. He wanted to show off in front of us, but he didn't expect that the battle would end right after the start of the battle. Several people.

But at this time, we didn’t make fun of the 3rd Battalion anymore. After all, we are all our own comrades. Brothers can play on the wall but keep outside. So just now we were still making fun of the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion. The soldiers regretted and hated the Yue Devils.

But having said that, there is actually nothing to hate about this hatred. We are going to kill the Yue devils hiding inside, so can they stretch their necks and wait for us to strike?

It's just that the 3rd Battalion Commander lost his mind, and quickly called several cadres to sit in front of the map to discuss and discuss, but the discussion did not come to a result for a long time.

"Second platoon leader!" The company commander asked me seriously, "Do you have a solution?"

"Me? What can I do?" I couldn't help sweating. The Yue Guizi's tunnel is not easy to fight. I have seen this in Laojie, not to mention that this is still the headquarters of the regiment for the far-sightedness of the Vietnam Army. artillery positions.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Company Commander Luo couldn't help sighing.

At this time, several cadres of the 3rd Battalion seemed to have come to a conclusion, so they soon started to do it again.

How to fight?The soldiers and I also wanted to know the answer, so we all stretched our necks and waited.

Only to see them tying ropes to warriors...

"What are they doing?" Captain Luo asked this time.

In fact, there is no need to ask, no one knows what they are doing.It's just that no one thought they would dare to do this...

How dangerous it is to go down with a rope...and will it work?It seems that as long as there is an AK47 guarding the entrance of the cave, the Yue Guizi will come down and fight one by one!

However, we have no right to object. First of all, we are not members of the 3rd Battalion. Secondly, our biggest official is just a company commander...

But the people in the 3rd Battalion don't seem to be fools. They also know that there are ventilation holes on the cliff... I think this is what the command told them. Company Commander Luo once reported to his superiors that he found the gun barrel.

So based on this information, the 3rd Battalion formulated a plan for a two-sided attack.

Both sides are tied with ropes, and one side is lowered from the cliff.The other side is lowered from the tunnel mouth.

I have to admit that this plan does have its merits, after all, the Yue Guizi probably didn't expect us to look for loopholes in the vent hole.

But... I don't think this can cause much damage to the tunnels of the Vietnamese army.

The reason is very simple, the side of the tunnel crossing is almost a dead end, so sending the soldiers down one by one is to die.On the other side, the Vietnamese army may not have noticed at the beginning that they will be attacked by surprise, but firstly, the air holes are too small and the soldiers cannot get in. Secondly, the defense of the Vietnamese army seems to be very simple, just move the gun back and install an AK47. It's over.

The situation of the battle was exactly as I thought. At the beginning, our army could take advantage of the direction of the vent hole. It is said that it fired a burst of guns and stuffed a few grenades into it.This also brought great encouragement to the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, and then a group of soldiers were sent down.

But soon... the ventilation hole was quickly blocked by gravel, leaving only a few small cracks and a gun hole. The Vietnamese army inside shot desperately when they saw someone swaying outside.

So, one soldier was let down alive, and another bloody one was hung up.

The 3rd Battalion Commander also seemed to be red-eyed, standing on the edge of the cliff desperately and shouting: "Come on! Call me..."

But after fighting for a long time, he didn't get anything, but he didn't mean to give up at all.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but cursed secretly in my heart: Damn it, does he call it a war?He is urging his life!You don't take the life of your soldiers at all! (To be continued.)
