blood of vietnam war

Chapter 150 Seven 217 Heights

The further you go into the narrow valley, the darker the light becomes.

At first I thought the darker the better, after all we were "smuggling" under the eyes of Yue Guizi, weren't we? (Note: Secret armed swimming, referred to as smuggling), so the darker it is, the less likely it is that the Vietnamese army will find us, and it also means that we are more likely to succeed...

However, after going a little further, this doesn't seem to be a good thing.

The reason is that the light is too dark... You must know that the highland next to it is 2681 meters above sea level. Such a highland is enough to block all the sunlight in this narrow valley, which makes us see nothing in the dark.Fortunately, we don't seem to need to see it... because we just need to follow the river bed.

Another difficulty comes from the cliff on the side of the 2681 highland. The cliff means that there are many springs, many springs that have not seen the sun for a long time... So as soon as we entered the narrow valley, we obviously felt the water temperature drop. The temperature difference was so great that the hairs on our bodies stood up, and the further we walked in, the more we felt like we had entered an ice cellar, and we were shivering in the water after a while...

At this time, I couldn't help crying secretly: Before I went into the water, I didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties. Now I just ask the soldiers not to take advantage of the darkness in the narrow valley to poke their heads out by luck, or which soldier is in the water. What little tricks we can't hold back in the darkness... You know, we won't make any noise when we walk underwater, but once we poke our heads out, there will be a splashing sound with the sound of water... Then the Yue devil found us It is a dead end.

Fortunately, the soldiers also know that this is related to the life and death of our company, and even the life and death of the 447 regiment and whether they can successfully complete the task, so they all strictly observe the discipline and move forward step by step...

Finally, ten minutes later, a little light appeared in front of me, which made me a little more stable, and I walked forward with more confidence.The more I walked forward, the brighter the front, and I looked behind, and the soldiers followed up one by one... So my hanging heart slowly let go.

Perhaps many people would think that this is nothing, but only after experiencing the darkness and coldness in the gloomy canyon can they experience the psychological torment.

But now... if they can successfully cross the pass, it can be said that half of the battle has been won.

But I still dare not be careless, because this is directly related to the life and death of our army, and whether there is a place for our hundreds of people to stand... So I walked along the small river for a few minutes to see how all the soldiers behind me were standing. After almost walking out of the canyon, I tapped the shoulders of the soldiers behind me three times with my fist.

This is the signal we agreed in advance. Knock once to stop advancing in case of a situation, knock twice to keep moving, and knock three times to prepare for battle.

Then the soldiers behind passed the order down one by one, so the soldiers stopped and waited by the river bed holding their guns!

I finally took a few deep breaths, then threw the bamboo tube away in one gulp, stood up abruptly, put my right hand on the river bed, and jumped out of the water.

The first thing I felt was lightness...the pressure in the water is still different from that in the air, and the sound of gunshots and explosions soon became clear.While slightly closing my eyes to adjust to the light outside, I half-kneeled and raised my gun to aim in the direction of the gunshot... in front of me was the slope of a highland... I knew without thinking that it must be the 217 highland .

As I expected, Yue Guizi was not prepared for this side at all, so that the soldiers and I turned over from the river bed one by one without them noticing.

Of course, it's not just that the Vietnamese army didn't expect our army to appear behind them through the pass without anyone noticing. More importantly, their firepower and sight were all attracted by the attack of the 447th regiment.

This gave me and the soldiers time to do some preparation: tear off the tarp and check the gear one last time.

Then the company commander waved his hand, and the soldiers ran towards the top of the hill with guns in their hands... There were no mines or barbed wire... There were only a few trenches on the reverse slope, but these trenches were empty. They all ran to the top of the mountain for defense.

Company Commander Luo quickly gave an order: "The third row occupies the trenches and organizes the defense, and the first and second rows follow me!"

"Yes!" Liang Lianbing replied reluctantly. Maybe he was dissatisfied with the company commander for letting him organize the defense at this time, but he also knew that this was a critical moment and he couldn't tolerate any doubts.

It should be said that Company Commander Luo's order is still reasonable. You must know that we are going to attack the mountaintop position of the Vietnamese army. What if another Vietnamese army comes behind us?What if the Vietnamese army at the top of the mountain launched a countercharge towards us?

If we occupy the trenches on this slope, these problems will not exist, and we will stand firm and invincible.

From this point of view, Company Commander Luo is still a relatively calm person, and will not be overwhelmed by the upcoming victory, rushing forward with all the troops...

After running for a few tens of meters, the top of the mountain slowly appeared in our sight. We could even see the backs of the Vietnamese soldiers and the white smoke from their guns, especially those few soldiers. An anti-aircraft machine gun...it was placed high on the top of the hill towards our side, so even the high-jumping bullet casings could be seen.

But the company commander still didn't give the order to start the fight... For us, the closer we are to the Vietnamese army, the better. Anyway, the opportunity is now in our hands.

At this time, it was very surprising that a Vietnamese soldier was walking backwards with a wounded man on his back. He suddenly looked back and saw so many People's Liberation Army soldiers falling from the sky behind him.

"Fight!" At this time, the company commander also knew that he could not wait any longer, so after giving an order, he raised his hand and shot the Vietnamese soldier.

"Huh, huh, huh..." The various weapons in the hands of the soldiers soon ejected ruthless bullets, and the Vietnamese soldiers on the top of the mountain fell into a pool of blood almost before they could figure out what was going on.

Some people may say... why doesn't our army throw grenades?Isn't it the best blow to the enemy to hit a grenade at this distance?

This is actually the meaning of the head of the regiment. Before we went into the water, the head of the regiment specifically confessed to us: Our army is interspersed with troops, and the logistics cannot be supplied, so if we can capture the enemy's weapons and equipment, we should seize as much as possible.

So we only shoot guns and don't throw grenades. After all, for us now, whether we throw grenades or not will not affect the outcome of the battle, but throwing grenades may damage a lot of equipment.

I have to admit that in such a close combat, the sniper rifle in my hand has little chance of being effective... Isn't it?I only had time to kill two anti-aircraft machine gun shooters, and the battle was almost over. The soldiers rushed to the position with a whoosh, firing guns while charging, and then came the screams of Yue Guizi.

Do I rush like the soldiers?

I'm not that stupid. Charging with a sniper rifle is basically courting death. If I miss the enemy with one bullet, the next second the enemy's bullet will turn me into a hornet's nest.

The soldiers under me also know the characteristics of my sniper rifle, so of course they will not think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and because of this... every time I charge, I just wave my hand, and the three platoon leaders under me Go up with the soldiers.

From this point of view, I seem to have taken some advantage.It's just that sometimes I would rather not be so cheap, like now... I racked my brains to plan for a long time, and then I crossed the pass under the water with great hardships, and I wanted to come up happily A big kill, but only two shots...

With a bit of regret that I didn't enjoy myself, I walked up to the top of the mountain with my gun in my hand... What I saw was the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers all over the ground and soldiers with excited faces... It only took a few minutes, about two A platoon of Vietnamese troops was knocked down in the position by us, and a large number of guns and ammunition were placed in front of us intact. This is undoubtedly an easy and huge victory.

However, the battle did not end there...

"Comrades!" Afterwards, Company Commander Luo quickly ordered again: "Clear out all the Yue devils in the narrow valley immediately, and don't let any one go!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and marched towards the pass with their guns in hand.

"Da da..." With a burst of gunfire, several soldiers who leaned out to find the enemy knocked down and fell into the pass.

Only then did we discover that it was not as easy as we imagined to clear the Vietnamese army at the pass. The reason was that the canyon was so narrow that it could almost be said to be a crack several meters wide. There are also some protruding rocks blocking our sight. If we want to find the Vietnamese army and shoot at them, we have to stick out our small body to look for it... So this condescending advantage also disappeared. Yamaguchi has a feeling that it is difficult to start.

At this moment, there was another burst of intense gunfire behind us. We ran up a few steps and looked up. We saw at least one company of Vietnamese troops approaching Height 217 from behind. They must have seen it. The situation here came to the rescue.

If it's just a company, we're not too worried, but the follow-up troops of Yue Guizi are likely to come up one after another...

Captain Luo and I looked at each other, and we both saw a trace of surprise in the other's eyes.

The situation is not good. If the Vietnamese army in the pass is not quickly resolved, then the main force of our army will still not be able to meet us through the narrow valley, which means... We were divided into two parts by this pass. Each one fights for himself. (To be continued.)
