blood of vietnam war

Chapter 18

Although the field water lying under his body in the rice field is dirty and smelly, the high and protruding ridge is a ready-made trench. Generally speaking, as long as it is not directly hit by a shell, nothing will happen.

The soldiers under me were not stupid, and soon imitated me and lay down in front of the field ridge. The machine gunner even set up a machine gun and fired at the Vietnamese army's position...

Later I realized that they were just following me as the squad leader.But follow me, follow me, why are you so eager to shoot?The Yue devils are all hiding in the jungle, and none of us have seen them, so what effect can shooting like that have?If you draw the enemy's firepower over...

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted at the machine gunner: "Stop! Stop...stop shooting!"

It was not easy for the machine gunner to hear my voice, he quickly stopped his hands and retracted his head, then looked at me blankly as if waiting for my order.

After a while, the machine gunner didn't see any movement from me, so he asked suspiciously: "Squad leader, what should we do now? Give an order!"

But what can I do?I am the monitor, not a fairy!Do you still tell me to charge forward with such a violent bullet from Yue Guizi?Now I just hope that Yue Guizi's bullets and shells will not hit my head!

At this time, a cadre wearing a four-pocket military uniform ran up with a few soldiers, and then lay down on the ground to hide beside us.

"battalion commander!"

Only when I heard the exclamation of the bayonet did I realize that our battalion commander beside me...

Of course, the battalion commander didn’t have time to pay attention to us little soldiers. He poked his head out cautiously to look at the enemy’s high ground, and then waved his hand and shouted at a soldier beside him: “You! Let them come back and cooperate with us to attack the Vietnamese army on both sides!"

"Yes!" The soldier beside him responded, and rushed forward with his rifle in hand without saying a word, but fell before our eyes just after running more than ten meters.

The battalion commander didn't speak, and waved his hand to go up again. This time he ran a little farther, but he was knocked down after only running more than [-] meters.What hit him was a few rounds of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, and his whole body was carried up by the inertia of the bullets, and then he fell hard to the ground, immediately dyeing the field red.

Then came the third, and then the fourth.

Every time the battalion commander went up one by one with a wave of his hand, but without exception, they all fell under the enemy's bullets after running only a few tens of meters.I just saw that my heart was jumping for a while, and I felt that the battalion commander's hand was a life-threatening talisman. One wave of his hand was one life, and another wave of his hand was another life...

At this time, there was no one around the battalion commander, but he still waved his hands habitually, and he didn't see anyone going up for a long time, so he turned his head and cursed at me: "Fuck, I don't know what I mean!" Is it? Still not going up?"

"Me?" It took me a long time to realize that the battalion commander was targeting me this time.

"Is it you or who?" The battalion commander scolded angrily: "Immediately notify the sharp knife platoon and ask them to cooperate with our attack! Didn't you see that the soldiers were all sacrificing? Haven't gone up yet..."

"Battalion Commander!" Looking at the four soldiers lying in front, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, and said with difficulty: "If I can make it through, I will definitely go! But now I can't make it through at all. It's just wasting the lives of our soldiers..."

The battalion commander was stunned for a moment, feeling that what I said made sense, he couldn't help but raised his fist and slammed the field ridge in front of him fiercely, cursing: "Damn it! Where did this bastard go..."

"Battalion Commander! Where's the radio station? Where's the walkie-talkie?" Little Shitou couldn't help but leaned forward and asked.

"The radio station is broken!" The battalion commander scolded dejectedly: "The walkie-talkie doesn't work...it's no fart after calling it dozens of times!"

We later found out that it wasn’t that the walkie-talkie couldn’t get through, but that the deputy company commander of the Ninth Company, who led the team, was cowardly. But he hid in the cave, and then left the team without authorization under the pretext of reporting the situation to the regiment headquarters, and a few soldiers also left...

At this time, the soldiers no longer gathered on the road, but spread out to run in the rice fields. Some companies even spontaneously organized soldiers to charge towards the high ground of the Vietnamese army... But it was useless, the road had already given way to the Vietnamese army. The machine gun firepower of the army was completely blocked, but the field water and mud in the rice fields made the soldiers unable to run fast at all. The Vietnamese army could easily knock down the soldiers on the way to charge...

The artillery unit also organized a counterattack. After all, they knew that in such a situation, if they did not fight back, they would have to wait for death, so they quickly set up a series of mortars "boom, boom, boom..." to hit the enemy's position A round of shells was fired, but the shelling was obviously ineffective. First, we didn’t know where the Vietnamese troops were hiding. More importantly, those mortars were all erected in the rice fields, and the soft and rotten soil had no effect at all. They couldn't bear the recoil of the mortar, and some of them sank into the mud after hitting a shell and lost their aim.

Before the soldiers pulled the mortars out of the mud and readjusted the elements, the enemy's machine gun bullets and artillery shells came in pieces...

"My fucking devil!" Seeing this, the battalion commander couldn't help pulling out the pistol pinned to his waist, and shouted, "I'm going to fight with you..."

Speaking of standing up, I was about to rush forward, but I pulled him back quickly with my sharp eyesight, and other soldiers also hurried up to help push the battalion commander back to the ridge.

"Battalion Commander! Don't mess around!" I persuaded, "Think of a way, there will always be a way! The soldiers are waiting for your order..."

"A way? Think of a way!" The battalion commander had lost his sense of reason, and he roared hysterically: "We'll all die when we think of a way!"

Seeing this, I quickly understood that I had to rely on myself now, even if it wasn't for the soldiers, I had to figure out a way to fight for myself.Otherwise, when the soldiers are defeated, it will be our ostriches hiding in the fields...

But what can be done about it?

dash forward?That just makes us die faster.

retreat?Obviously it doesn't work either!

According to the command of the battalion commander, contact the sharp knife platoon?This doesn't seem very realistic, not to mention whether we can contact the sharp knife platoon, even if we can contact and successfully pull them back to attack the Vietnamese army... However, the Vietnamese devils obviously deliberately let them escape the ambush circle, wouldn't they Will you be prepared?

Suddenly, I saw a bamboo tube inserted beside the field ridge and water was flowing down, and I couldn't help but feel moved. The paddy field must need water irrigation for a long time, and if it needs water irrigation, there must be a canal... So I poked my head out and followed the upstream of the water Looking around, I found a ditch full of aquatic plants faintly on the left side, and looking up along that ditch, I couldn't help being happy, this ditch turned out to lead all the way to the highland on the left side of the Vietnamese army!

Seeing this, I retracted my head involuntarily, and said to the battalion commander: "Battle commander! I led the soldiers to sneak to the enemy's position. You wait below, and when you hear the gunshots of the Yue Guizi, lead the soldiers to rush up. !"

"Touch the enemy's position?" The battalion commander couldn't help being puzzled.

Time is life, and I didn't bother to explain so much. I waved to the soldiers under me and led them to run along the ridge towards the canal...

As the saying goes, I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs walk. After watching too many war movies, I also know that I should walk with my waist bent when running.In fact, I think there is no need to learn this at all, because who doesn't think about his own life!Who can really charge forward to the enemy's bullets with his chest upright without covering up as described in TV and movies!I don’t think there will be such a scene in the real battlefield, because doing so will not help the battle situation except for sacrificing one’s own life in vain

The few of us sometimes crawled forward and sometimes trotted to the left side. It is actually very easy to distinguish when we should crawl on our stomachs and when we should stand up and trot. For me, this is completely determined by the height of the field beside me of.

The canal is not far from our location, only about 200 meters away, but it still took us more than ten minutes to get there.

I ran to the canal and looked at it, and couldn't help crying out... This thing is too shallow, and a person's head will be exposed when squatting down alone. I think this is the reason why the Yue Guizi is not defensive about this canal.

But I didn't hesitate at all. At this point, we had no way out, so we jumped in and lay down in the ditch... Fortunately, it was just enough for one person to lie in, and the sides of the ditch were densely packed The aquatic plants can also be a good cover for us, but what makes me a little painful is that the water in this ditch is a bit deep, which makes me have to raise my head high.

The few soldiers under me also jumped in one by one, and followed me to lie in the ditch.

It is said that when those soldiers followed my lead, I really felt an unusual sense of pride in my heart.Just a few days ago, I was being bullied by the old man because of my inheritance, now it's my turn to boss around.

But I also know that there is a price for ordering people like this, that is, you must lead them to victory, otherwise if you suffer a few more defeats, let alone lack of prestige, this person is almost dead. Who else can I order? go?

At this time, I didn't dare to think too much, and I turned around and ordered the soldiers: "Get ready for battle, we will sneak up to the enemy's high ground along this ditch, and then cooperate with the main force to take the enemy's high ground to me." Come down! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Although the soldiers said so in their mouths, there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

I knew what they were thinking, they all thought I was trying to escape through this ditch, but I didn't expect that I was thinking of attacking...

The old man once said: offense is the best defense!
