blood of vietnam war

Chapter 180 Six Chasing Soldiers

The first thing I did was to discuss with Company Commanders Luo and Zhang. After all, I am in the army, and it is not enough for me to fight against the possible attack of the Vietnamese army. The entire army and even engineers must be used to fight against me. Team coordination.

"My idea is this!" I pointed to the map and said, "Our army announced its withdrawal from the very beginning, which prepared the Yue devils. I think they started to activate the army from the moment our army announced its withdrawal. Of course, because the Yue Guizi have been suppressed and beaten by our army, it is impossible and difficult to break through from the front when the troops are seriously insufficient. So they can only go around from the mountain road to the jungle After attacking our side from the front, I hope to intercept our army's mop-up troops!"

"That makes sense!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said, "If it were me, I would do the same. It's not just for intercepting our army's mop-up troops, but also for some important military facilities, such as bridges!"

It should be said that what Company Commander Luo said is exactly what I thought in my heart. This Hebian is not an important place in the first place. The only reason why the engineering troops stationed here is the highway bridge, so the reason why the Yue Guizi appeared here is exactly the same It is because of this road bridge.

Don't look at it as just a road bridge tens of meters long and wide. If a road bridge like this is blown up by our army along the way, it will undoubtedly increase the time for the main force of the Vietnamese army to chase our army. The lifeline of military logistics supplies.

This is like the fact that the U.S. military often dispatches troops to penetrate into the enemy's interior to occupy important military locations in order to ensure the speed of the main force's attack.The only difference is...the American army used paratroopers, while the Vietnamese army used walking.

"It's been four full days since we announced our withdrawal!" Company Commander Luo looked at the map and said worriedly: "If the Vietnamese army really has this detour, it's not surprising that they arrived at our position. In this way... the second platoon leader's awareness of the enemy's situation last night was not an illusion."

"But..." Company Commander Zhang still couldn't believe it, and he said with some doubts: "Since Yue Guizi arrived last night, why didn't he launch an attack? If you want to attack the highway bridge, it's more appropriate to sneak attack at night, isn't it?"

"It's because the Vietnamese army is short of troops and firepower!" I said, "The Vietnamese army has to march all the way in the jungle. In order to ensure the speed of the march, they must march forward lightly. Moreover, the troops are easy to get lost when marching in the jungle, so I think, The reason why the Vietnamese army did not attack immediately last night... one is to rest, the other is to gather troops, and the third is to wait for dawn..."

"Wait for dawn?" Hearing this, Company Commander Luo and Company Commander Zhang couldn't help being taken aback. The first point and the second point are understandable, but the third point is to wait for dawn...it seems a little unreliable.

I nodded and continued: "If I were the Vietnamese army... I would wait for the dawn, because only at dawn will the last batch of our troops start to retreat, and then the Vietnamese army can fish in troubled waters..."

"Oh!" After I said this, Company Commander Luo and Company Commander Zhang quickly understood.

"Pretend to be a retreating soldier from our army!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said, "This is an old trick of Yue Guizi, but it is very practical!"

Who made us and the Yue Guizi both Asians, both of whom have yellow skin and black hair, and many of the Yue Guizi can speak Chinese, and our army's retreating troops are chaotic and disorderly, so they don't pretend It's no wonder that our people got away with it.

"Then what should we do?" Hearing my analysis, Company Commander Zhang quickly became nervous: "We can't blow up the bridge right now, there are still many of our comrades who haven't crossed the bridge!"

"How many comrades haven't crossed the bridge yet?" Captain Luo asked.

"This... I don't know either!" Company Commander Zhang's answer made me and Company Commander Luo dizzy.

"When did your superiors give you the order to blow up the bridge?" I asked.

"[-]:[-] noon!" Company Commander Zhang replied: "Blow up the bridge at [-]:[-] noon, then retreat [-] kilometers, and carry out the blasting task on another highway bridge!"

"Then we will guard until twelve o'clock!" Captain Luo said, "Try to ensure that all our troops cross the bridge!"

I know why Company Commander Luo used the word "as much as possible", because we all know... If there is a Vietnamese army on the opposite side of the bridge, it means that the Vietnamese army wants to use firepower to control the opposite road or road bridge It is very easy, and it can even be said that only a few people and a few guns, plus enough ammunition are enough to block the entire road...

Therefore, the best way now is to pretend that we don't know, so that the Yue Devils will at least let our retreating troops come over.

"Is there a password for crossing the bridge?" Then Captain Luo asked again.

In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all, because we didn't need any password at all when we crossed the bridge yesterday.

Sure enough, Company Commander Zhang shook his head: "No one thought that Yue Guizi would detour here so quickly, so there was no password at all!"

In fact, even if you want to set it up, you can't set it up, because these passwords can't be conveyed to your own troops.Just like yesterday, it took a lot of trouble for our army to contact our superiors.

"That's troublesome!" Company Commander Luo couldn't help frowning.

I understand what Company Commander Luo means. If the Vietnamese army disguises itself as our army to attack the highway bridge and our army does not have the necessary passwords to identify friend or foe...it means that we must conduct close inspections, and it also means that we have no relationship with the Vietnamese army. The buffer distance even felt that something was wrong when the Vietnamese army had already crossed the bridge.

"It's not difficult at all!" I replied after thinking about it: "First, add two sentries on the other side of the bridge to investigate..."

The role of adding sentries is obvious. This can prevent the disguised Vietnamese troops from crossing the bridge and give the troops a buffer distance, but Company Commander Zhang couldn't help but gasped because it meant that the two sentries were basically sent to death.

But there is no way to do it. If you are not willing to make such sacrifices on the battlefield, then don't fight this battle.

So I continued to say: "The focus of the investigation...is our infantry. First, most of our infantry have retreated, and most of the remaining engineers are engineers. Second, because of the weapons and equipment they carry, the Vietnamese army can only pretend to be infantry."

"Well, this is much easier!" Company Commander Luo couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with my opinion.

So the preparations were quickly arranged, and there was nothing to prepare, because the trenches and firepower points of our army had been set up last night, and we didn't dare to make too much action to arouse the suspicion of the Vietnamese army, so we decided to Nothing changed.There are only two things that can be done, one is to deploy two sentries on the other side of the bridge, and the other is to pass on the news that the Vietnamese army may disguise themselves as our army for a surprise attack.

It's just that it's okay not to pass it on, but the atmosphere of the whole army suddenly became tense once it was passed on.The tense atmosphere mainly came from the engineering troops. After all, non-combat troops had never participated in frontal battles, especially when they were about to go home and encountered such a thing... So although they didn't say it, they felt it in their hearts. Thinking about cursing bad luck.

Especially the two sentinels who were placed on the opposite side of the river, their faces were pale with fright and their feet were weak. They looked at us and the road from time to time, worried that the enemy would come up soon and worried that we would leave them alone...

But this is actually not a shameful thing. Who can face it calmly when they are on the battlefield?Who can not be afraid at all?Even our troops who have come on the battlefield will feel pressure in their hearts, let alone them.

It's just that the battlefield is like this, it doesn't just because we are afraid, worried, nervous, or unwilling to fight... the enemy will show mercy and not attack.

What should come is still coming, all we can do is face it, bite the bullet and face it.

When it was about ten o'clock, the last batch of retreating troops came down one after another.They finished the finishing touches, and then landed mines all the way down.Of course, these troops include engineers and infantry, and the infantry is the cover force for the engineers.

So the soldiers quickly got busy, and in order to seize the time to investigate, they quickly sent a few more sentries over.

As I said before, the engineer units with engineering shovels, mines and folding submachine guns are quickly released, while the infantry has to be asked which unit belongs to it, which unit is covering, and even let it go. The engineering troops came to confront and confirmed the release.

I was also watching with a telescope on the opposite bank, and nothing happened, because I found that many of the infantrymen who appeared in front of me even carried 56 and a half on their backs.

Based on this alone, I believe that they are their own people. No matter how stupid the devil is, it is impossible to replace the ak47 in their hands with 56 and a half. firepower.

At this time, a troop on the road came into my sight. The reason why I noticed them... was because the marching speed of this troop was unhurried and looked very leisurely.

I know, it was because they deliberately pretended not to be nervous. They may have thought that the more natural they behaved, the more successful they would be, but they didn't expect that... our army was the last group to retreat, so everyone They were all very nervous, just like yesterday when we crossed the bridge. Many people were worried that they would not be able to go home if they did not cross the bridge in time.

Therefore, their overly natural performance appears to be different.

Look at the weapons in their hands. They are all AK47s, and the military uniforms are also clearly stained... The so-called clear stains mean that the clean places are clean, and the dirty places are particularly dirty.The reason for this is that they had just put on the military uniforms, and they deliberately put those stains on for the sake of camouflage.

So I was confident, and immediately shouted to the sentinel on the walkie-talkie: "Release all the troops at the bridgehead, and you will retreat after the end! Move quickly!" (To be continued.)
