blood of vietnam war

Chapter 160 Eight Corpses

"Company commander! I'll go up and see the situation!" I said.

"Yeah!" Captain Luo nodded, and then quickly said: "Wait, I'll go take a look too..."

As soon as he said that, the correspondent was called to follow behind with a walkie-talkie on his back. At this time, it was the habit of Captain Luo, in order to facilitate the command of the troops or contact the superior, that is, the walkie-talkie followed wherever the person walked.

Company Commander Luo asked as he climbed up to the 217 height: "Do you feel something is wrong? I also feel guilty, but I don't know what's wrong!"

"En!" Company Commander Luo said what was in my heart.

Soon we climbed up to the 217th highland. The soldiers of the fourth company along the way stopped their movements when they saw us coming up and cast their eyes on us.At first I thought it was because of Company Commander Luo. After all, Company Commander Luo is the supreme commander of our reinforcements. It is not normal for the soldiers of the 447th Regiment to recognize him.

Then I quickly learned that this was not the case... Although I am only a platoon leader, my reputation here seems to be louder than Captain Luo.

"Company Commander Luo, Platoon Leader Yang!" Then a middle-aged cadre with a dark face came up quickly. He shook hands with us and introduced himself: "Commander Luo, Platoon Leader Yang...I am the fourth Company commander Chen Chuncheng, you are here to check the situation, welcome two comrades to guide our fourth company!"

Listening to the words of the Fourth Company Commander... for some reason, I felt a little awkward. .

Then quickly figured out what the problem was:

One is that he called "Company Commander Luo" and "Platoon Commander Yang" together... Is this Company Commander Luo my immediate boss?Wouldn't it be enough for him to greet Company Commander Luo directly?Why add me in it?

Second, he is also a company commander himself, at the same level as Company Commander Luo, but he speaks in the tone of a subordinate to a superior... such as "guiding work".

Company Commander Luo seemed to feel this too, and he shook Chen Chuncheng's hand in embarrassment: "Hi Company Commander Chen, we just came up to see the enemy's situation, not to mention the guidance work, don't affect the soldiers fighting because of us!"

"Commander Luo is too polite!" The fourth company commander said repeatedly: "If Company Commander Luo and Platoon Commander Yang can introduce some combat experience to the soldiers, there is no hurry for the soldiers to thank you! How about this... I will take the comrades first. Let's go to see the enemy's situation, if you have time...the two comrades will help me teach those soldiers under me!"

As the saying goes, hospitality is hard to turn down. Seeing that the Fourth Company Commander insisted on making such a request, Company Commander Luo and I were too embarrassed to say anything more about refusing.

"Platoon Leader Yang!" The fourth company commander jokingly said as he walked, "Maybe you don't know yet, those soldiers under me... talk about you whenever they have time, and they almost praise you to the sky! ...look at these bastards..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the soldiers who were busy around him, and said: "They were still looking sick just now, but now they are refreshed as soon as they see the two comrades coming up! They didn't pay attention to me, the company commander, at all. ah……"

Hearing what the Fourth Company Commander said, Company Commander Luo and I couldn't help but laugh and cry. We really didn't expect that the Fourth Company Commander would be willing to joke around on this battlefield.

But... This also shows from another aspect that the fourth company commander is indifferent to the cruel battlefield in front of him. It is no wonder that his regiment commander arranged for him to be our substitute to guard this 217 highland, and it is no wonder that he was able to repel the Vietnamese. The devils charged several times.

A few people ran forward along the trench with cats on their waists, and soon came to the top of the hill.First of all, I smelled a disgusting stench... The wind in this area is blowing from the back, we didn't feel anything at the foot of the mountain, but when we came up, the smell was so strong that it was a bit unbearable.

Cautiously, I poked my head out to take a look, and couldn't help being startled by the sight in front of me... corpses were strewn all over the slope, layer by layer, almost covering the entire battlefield.

But this doesn't seem to be surprising. When we disarmed, there were already a lot of corpses on the slope, and the fourth company fought for a long time...these corpses are all piled up here. Naturally, there will be more corpses, but I'm a little bit up now. I just don't get used to it.

But I still feel that something is wrong, and I can't tell what is wrong.

"Da da da..." At this time, there was a burst of gunfire from the foot of the mountain, but no one knew where the gun hit.

I couldn't help frowning, and asked Company Commander Chen: "Has the Yue Guizi always shot like this?"

"It seems that... since nightfall, they have been fighting more frequently!" Company Commander Chen nodded, "Maybe the Yue Devils deliberately harassed our army!"

I didn't reply, but the suspicion in my heart was getting heavier and heavier.

First of all, if the Yue Guizi's shooting is to harass our army... it is indeed possible. Using guns and cannons on the battlefield to make our army nervous and unable to rest is the usual method of the Yue Guizi.It's just... the effect doesn't seem to be good when our army has flares.

Secondly, I can tell from the fire and sound of the Vietnamese army's shooting...it was fired by an ak47, and it was eight or nine hundred meters away from our army's position...what does eight or nine hundred meters mean? The sniper rifle in my hand They can't hit them all, let alone those ak900s with short range.

So I knew that Yue Guizi was hiding something... Just like last time they used the sound of artillery to hide the sound of tank tracks.

What does Yue Guizi want to hide?

The sound of the gun can hide the sound of the track of the tank, that is because it is loud enough.

Then the sound that can be hidden by the gunshots will definitely not cause much movement... That is a person!

Thinking of this, I immediately focused my attention on the piles of corpses in front of me...but because of the dark moon and high wind, I could only see two to 30 meters away.

"Company Commander Chen!" I lowered my voice and said to the Fourth Company Commander, "Fire two flares!"

I suddenly lowered my voice to surprise the company commanders Chen and Luo. You must know that although this is a first-line position, it is still several hundred meters away from the Yue Guizi... and firing flares is not a very secret thing, even if the Yue Guizi heard about it. It's nothing special, is it?

But the doubts were all doubts, and Company Commander Chen didn't ask any more questions, and immediately passed the order to the correspondent.

Soon two flares rose into the sky, and as the snow-white light spread forward, pieces of corpses came into my sight... There seemed to be nothing abnormal, the battlefield was full of wolves. All kinds of dead bodies, all kinds of postures, each one was covered with red or black blood, like a hell on earth.

But... at the moment when the flare was about to lose its light, I discovered two doubts:

First, the distribution of corpses is not reasonable.

According to common sense, the corpses should be concentrated at the foot of the mountain, and the closer to the top of the mountain, the sparser the corpses.The reason is simple, Yue Guizi rushed up from the foot of the mountain, didn't he?They were strafed by our army's firepower along the way... Of course, there are fewer and fewer Vietnamese troops who can rush to the top of the mountain.

However, the corpses on this slope are less at the two ends and more in the middle.

Second, there are too many corpses with their backs facing upwards.

The Vietnamese army was shot and killed by our army during the charge, and it was still going up obliquely...so under the effect of bullet inertia, there should be more front-facing ones, but you can see it from a distance from this slope But there are many corpses with their backs facing up, and they are all on the surface of the corpses.

So I understood: This is another surprise attack by the Yue Guizi, using the corpse as a cover to lurk in the position.

Thinking of this, I raised my head towards Company Commander Luo, and walked back along the trench without saying anything. ,

The purpose of my doing this is to worry that some Vietnamese troops lurking too close will hear us... If they know that I have seen through the trick and launch an attack in advance, it will be a bit troublesome.

"What's the situation?" The two company commanders Luo and Chen quickly followed. At this time, it was Company Commander Chen who was more anxious. He looked at me with puzzled and anxious eyes and asked, "Platoon Leader Yang, what did you find?" Yet?"

"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "Fourth company commander, we have chemical defense soldiers in our army, so send two of them up to breathe fire..."

"You mean..." Company Commander Chen's eyes were full of horror.

I nodded again: "If I'm not mistaken, there are at least two platoons of the Yue Guizi lurking in front of our army's position. These troops... were the Yue Guizi pretending to be killed and lying on the ground during the charge. Lay down a dozen live ones, and dozens of them can be laid down after a few charges... Then they slowly crawled forward under the cover of night and gunfire, and now they are probably not far from our army's position! "

"Damn it!" Hearing this, platoon leader Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "I said when did these devils become so easy to fight, so they lay down on purpose... without further ado, I will immediately Go and deploy chemical soldiers!"

Talking impatiently, he walked towards the walkie-talkie, and while walking, he gave the order to prepare for battle.

"Then let's say..." Company Commander Luo said solemnly, "Isn't this mountain top position dangerous?"

Company Commander Luo's worry was justified. The Yue Guizi's attack was deliberate, and it was not something that two chemical defense soldiers could deal with.

Some people may say...the two chemical defense soldiers are not enough, so we should call in a few more.

The attack power of the chemical defense soldiers is indeed strong, but as the saying goes, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The fuel tanks on the back of the chemical defense soldiers are itself a source of danger. If more chemical defense soldiers are deployed on the top of the mountain Line up... The Yue Guizi's anti-aircraft machine guns swept away, or fired a cannon, and the top of the mountain would turn into a flaming mountain.

In addition, the Vietnamese army will definitely be prepared for this charge, so it will definitely provide fire cover for the Vietnamese army lurking in the corpse, so there is no doubt... what we will face will be a close fight with the Vietnamese army.

Fortunately, I saw through the tricks of the Vietnamese army in advance and prepared, otherwise I really don't know what the result will be. (To be continued.)
