blood of vietnam war

Chapter 190 Two Role Models

Without further ado, the ambush against the Vietnamese army soon began.

We divided the troops into four parts with the company as the unit...Of course, because each company suffered heavy casualties, the number of them varies. Some have more than 50 people, and some have [-] or [-] people.

The deployment of the troops by the commander of the third battalion is as follows: the three companies with large numbers and strong combat effectiveness are placed on the three highlands near Hebian, and the company with a small number is placed on the 237th highland in Tanmeng.

This arrangement is of course reasonable. The main force of the three companies is located in Hebian, and its purpose is to set up an ambush to attack the main force of the Yue Devils... Then why are they still guarding the 237 Heights?This is also necessary. First, the superior ordered us to be stationed at Tanmeng, so this place cannot be easily lost.Another more important thing is... there are fortifications just built by our army on the 237 high ground, what if the Yue devils have vanguards?

Troops marching because they are worried about being ambushed by the enemy, so they are always used to leaving a team of pioneers in front of the main force. This team of pioneers is responsible for reconnaissance. Although the number is small, it is very effective.Yue Guizi's troops all had combat experience, so of course they wouldn't be so stupid that they didn't even have vanguards.So if no one is stationed on our 237 highland, should we fight or not to fight this team of pioneers?

let's hit!It also means that the main force of the Vietnamese army following behind soon realized that there was an ambush ahead.

Don't fight!There is no one on the 237 highland behind us, and there are still fortifications built, well... the Yue Guizi vanguards only need to occupy this highland, and our retreat will be cut off.

Therefore, the three companies in front are used to ambush the enemy, while the 237 highland located in Tanmeng is used to ensure our safe retreat.

But it is obvious that the troops guarding the 237 Heights are relatively less dangerous.One is because they are likely to face only a small number of Vietnamese troops.The other is that their position is at the back, they can advance, attack and retreat, and even have time to retreat if necessary.

It is precisely because of this that the commander of the third battalion once wanted to arrange for our second company to be stationed at the 237 highland, but this proposal was quickly rejected by the commander Luo.

Company Commander Luo's reason is: Judging from the past record, our second company is undoubtedly the most powerful force... Now is the critical moment, the outcome of this ambush in Hebian will be decided It is directly related to whether our army has ammunition or even whether it can retreat safely.As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. At this time, troops with strong combat effectiveness should be placed in the most important position to ensure victory in the battle.

Company Commander Luo's reason was very good, so the Commander of the Third Battalion did not insist anymore, and we were finally arranged on a high ground in Hebian.

There is also a small episode... In order to illustrate that our second company's combat effectiveness is not bad, Company Commander Luo casually talked about the previous few battles... such as the Dai Naishan blockade, such as the underground castle in the old street, and the elimination of the Vietnamese army agents Tuanzhi, and even the pass natural danger interspersed...

This is good, the soldiers of the third battalion didn't know the origin of our company, but they heard that there was a hero in the second company who fought these battles... In fact, these deeds and battle examples of our company have long been spread all over the world The entire army has become a model for the army. The reason why the soldiers of the third battalion, including the commander of the third battalion, did not know our identities was because we did not report the complete number. It's just a couple.

So... when we knew that we were the team that cooperated with the 447th regiment to hold on to the pass for a few days and nights, and with a weak force that could withstand the crazy attack of the two regiments of the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army under the condition of lack of food, the whole army was a sensation. up.

The soldiers of the third battalion were all sick and listless, but now they surrounded them with a whimper:

"Comrade, the battalion commander took us to see the corpses of the enemy at the pass the day before yesterday. They packed dozens of trucks, and they couldn't be transported all the way!"

"There are also tanks in the canyon! Dozens of them are packed in there... What a beautiful battle!"

"I heard that you have no food and ammunition. It's really amazing to defeat the Yue Devils in such a difficult environment!"

"Comrade, I heard that your sharpshooters can kill the commander of the Vietnamese army from a thousand meters away. Is it true?"

……

I couldn't help being stunned when I heard the words, a thousand meters away... It's not that exaggerated, it must be the soldiers who passed on one by one, so the more they passed on, the more magical they became.

However, Company Commander Luo raised his head at me jokingly at this time, and said, "No, that's him... our company's brains and sharpshooters!"

Now Company Commander Luo has trapped me in injustice. The soldiers of the third battalion cheered and surrounded me to ask more questions, especially the svd sniper rifle on my back, which attracted a lot of people The envious eyes of the soldiers.

You know, as the war gets deeper and deeper, our army has seized more and more sniper rifles, but these captured sniper rifles are just a drop in the ocean compared to the 10,000+ people in our army, so they are still a rare thing... ...In addition, the tradition of our army is "one bullet kills one enemy", so although there are no snipers, sharpshooters still have a very high status, so I quickly gained a lot of "fans"...

This made me dumbfounded... Everything I did on the battlefield from beginning to end was just to save my life, and I really didn't expect to have the harvest I have today.

But it seems that there is nothing wrong with this, no... the soldiers of the third battalion were all depressed at first, but now they all became angry as if they had been given a shot in the arm.

Perhaps this is the power of role models.In the past, I never understood why the army always wanted to catch a few models to promote heroes and role models, but now I seem to understand a little bit.

In the end, it was the commander of the third battalion who solved the siege for me, or the commander of the third battalion also added another piece of firewood at the right time. He stood in front of the soldiers of the third battalion and raised his hand and said: "Comrades, you have seen it, the hero!" Erlian is standing in front of you. Erlian, the hero who was able to repel the 316a division of the Vietnamese army at the pass, is standing among us. The comrades of Erlian can do it, and we can do the same. You guys Say it right!"

"Yes! Learn from Erlian!"

"Take Erlian as an example!"

……

To be honest, if this was in modern times... I would get goosebumps all over the floor when I heard the words "learn from so-and-so by the example of so-and-so".However, for some reason, I didn't feel awkward at this moment... I just felt that I should do better, otherwise I would disappoint the soldiers of the third battalion or be worthy of being their role model.

When I thought about it later, I realized that the most fundamental difference between these is that people in this era yelled these words...they were all from the heart, a true expression of emotion.So when I listen to it, I will naturally have a completely different feeling.

Every minute on the battlefield is precious, so the commander of the third battalion did not hesitate any longer, and immediately assigned the combat tasks.

After knowing that we are the Second Company of Heroes, the commander of the third battalion no longer had the previous burden in his heart, and immediately arranged us to the forefront, which is the nearest highland to Hebian.

I think the commander of the third battalion is letting us set an example and let the morale of the whole army go further.

Troops in war are sometimes so strange. If a unit with strong combat effectiveness takes the lead, other soldiers will have confidence in their hearts and at the same time have confidence in winning the battle, so they will let go to fight, or it will arouse other soldiers at this time. Soldiers have a mentality of not admitting defeat...they have the heart to compare with our heroic army, so the combat effectiveness of the entire army will follow suit!

It can even be said that the third battalion commander also let go of his command because he knew that we were a force with good combat effectiveness, so he also had confidence.

Hebian is not far from Tanmeng, only a few kilometers away. We ran all the way for [-] minutes and entered our respective positions.

Of course, the reason why it took [-] minutes is because we also sent a small group of sharp-edged soldiers to reconnaissance in advance... We don't want to be discovered by the sentinels of Yue Guizi before we have lurked.

We are very satisfied with the results of the reconnaissance... The Vietnamese army has not yet rushed to occupy Hebian, and the highlands are also empty.

So the troops carefully divided into three parts and occupied the three highlands next to the road.

Because it was too late to measure the elevation of these three highlands, we artificially numbered them from one to three.

It should be said that these three highlands are well chosen.

The highland where our second company is located is the No. [-] highland. This highland directly faces Hebian and has a wide perspective. You can directly see the movement of Hebian from the position on the top of the mountain. It is precisely for this reason that we have arranged several observation posts to lead Watching the movement of the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain with a walkie-talkie.

As the saying goes, knowing the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. This trick was learned from Yue Guizi.

One of the two companies of the third battalion was arranged on the No. [-] highland across the road, and the other was arranged on the last No. [-] highland.The No. [-] highland is the Eighth Company commanded by Company Commander Xu, and the No. [-] Highland is the Ninth Company commanded by Chen Battalion Commander.

These three highlands form a triangle and surround the road in the middle, but the middle road is like a coiled long snake, bending back and forth between the three highlands... It is conceivable that once the Vietnamese army enters our army This encirclement will be hit by firepower from three sides.

Of course, because our army lacks ammunition, our lurking position is only a hundred meters away from the road.The purpose of doing this is to make the limited bullets more accurate, and the second is to be able to charge the enemy and enter hand-to-hand combat when necessary.

"No. [-], please reply if you receive it!"

"Received on the [-]st, speak clearly, finished!"

……

This is the final call test for the highlands and then... all we have to do is wait... (To be continued.)
