blood of vietnam war

Chapter 190 Eight Sunshine at Dusk

The search for the art troupe quickly began.

It was the troops of our second company who were in charge of the search mission, and the soldiers of the third battalion were required to stay in Ningkang for [-] hours.

I think the superior's arrangement is reasonable. Our company has a Chen Yiyi who is very familiar with the terrain. This is our biggest advantage in the search mission.The third battalion stationed in Ningkang is to prevent us from finding a cultural troupe but not retreating.In other words, we have twelve hours to find the art troupe and bring them back.

From the company commander, we learned how the art troupe separated from other troops.

Last night was when the 119th Regiment was retreating... Just like we thought before, we thought that the Vietnamese army could not go deep into the area occupied by our army for the time being. In addition, the previous campaign against Vietnamese agents was also very effective, so The troops marched at night with great confidence.

But what I didn't expect is...the Vietnamese military agents are far from being as easy to deal with as we imagined, just like the old man said...Vietnamese military agents can often stay in an environment that you can't imagine with only a little food and water For a week or even longer, mud ponds, bushes, tunnels...even cesspit can be their hiding places. Sometimes the Vietnamese soldiers caught are horrible, and their bodies are covered with bites from mosquitoes and insects. , you don’t even watch the disgusting ones!

Therefore, it is impossible to completely eliminate the Vietnamese army agents. They usually lurk in places that are difficult for our army to find, and they will gather and play a role at critical times.For example, when our army retreats now...

This was the case last night. Because the soldiers of the 119th Regiment were unprepared, and it was difficult to identify them when marching at night, many Vietnamese agents were mixed into the marching team along the way... This is an old trick of the Yue Devils. However, although the trick is old, it is very useful. The retreat of our army is relatively chaotic and disorderly. It seems that the Vietnamese army agents only need to pretend to be troops that have separated from the main force and join them directly.

So the next thing is not difficult to imagine, first of all, the road ahead was blocked by firepower on the high ground on both sides of the road, and the 119th regiment hurriedly organized troops to attack the high ground... At this time, the Vietnamese army agents mixed in our army launched an attack up.

The agents of the Vietnamese army were all wearing the uniforms of the People’s Liberation Army. They took advantage of the night to fight indiscriminately in our army, and sometimes even yelled a few times in Chinese... As a result, the 119th regiment was in chaos, and no one knew where they were. Others are friends or foes.

Facts have proved that this kind of chaos is the most deadly, because this makes a unit unable to cohere and trust each other, and even kill each other if it is not controlled... Last night, the 119th regiment failed to control it well, and suffered There are more casualties than fighting on the battlefield.

The exact number of casualties is unknown, and the higher-ups will always deal with things like this that will lower the morale of the troops in a low-key manner, but looking at this posture, it is clear that there are a lot of casualties.

The Art Troupe just followed the 119th Regiment. Fortunately, there were no Vietnamese agents among them, so there was no confusion yet.

Originally, at this time, what they should have done was to hold their ground and camp in place, or just lurk in the grass beside the road and wait for dawn.Just like we perform latent missions, lie down in the grass and make an appointment in advance that no one is allowed to stand up, as long as you see standing people approaching and shooting...

However, the art troupe did not do this... Maybe they were too nervous, or they were worried that staying here would hurt Chi Yu sooner or later, so they chose to bypass this right and wrong zone by a small path.

Only those who are very familiar with the area dare to walk the small roads in Vietnam. Even Chen Yiyi, who grew up in Vietnam, can’t guarantee that he knows every road. What’s more, it’s still in the dark...so it was expected It just happened that the art troupe got lost in the jungle, and was chased by Vietnamese army agents when they contacted the headquarters for the last time.

We first found the area where the 119th regiment was ambushed. This place is not difficult to find, because there are bloodstains everywhere and some corpses that have not been cleaned up in a hurry.Then go back and confirm the path that the art troupe is going to go around.

A group of people gradually went deep into the jungle along the path, and found more than a dozen corpses of PLA soldiers after more than half an hour...

Chen Yiyi rummaged through the corpses and said, "Judging from the [***] level of the corpses... they were sacrificed last night, so they should be the target we are looking for. It seems that they were ambushed here... "

Then he looked around again, pointed to a patch of grass not far to the north, and said: "The Vietnamese army should be hiding there, and the number of them should not exceed ten. They may have met by chance... Once they fight, the art troupe will be chaotic. So they panicked and ran in the opposite direction into the jungle. This should be the main reason why they lost their way."

Chen Yiyi's analysis was methodical, as if she had personally experienced the battle last night, and all the soldiers nodded in conviction, so they followed her into the jungle without any hesitation.

The following follow-up can be said to be entirely dependent on Chen Yiyi, and I don't know how Chen Yiyi practiced... She can always find some clues along the way, sometimes broken branches, sometimes scratched pieces of clothes, Sometimes it’s just abandoned objects dropped by the side of the road... We also found a pair of allegro among these abandoned objects, which proves that we have not gone wrong, this is indeed the marching direction of the art troupe.It's just that from the footprints, it can be seen that they are in a hurry, and it is obvious that Yue devils are chasing them.

When she reached a crossroad, Chen Yiyi's face became very ugly looking at the footprints on the ground.

"What's the situation?" Captain Luo asked solemnly.

"The number of Vietnamese troops is beyond our imagination!" Chen Yiyi pointed to the footprints on the ground and said: "From the footprints, it can be seen... There are two Vietnamese troops converging here to chase the art troupe, with a total number of more than one hundred people. "

"What? There are more than 100!" Hearing this, Company Commander Luo couldn't help being surprised. Our team only has about [-] people. Although the art troupe has guards, most of them are art soldiers who have no fighting ability. , then counting it like this... Our strength is not stronger than the Vietnamese army, even if we find the art troupe, we are still in a passive state of being hunted down.

After thinking about it, Captain Luo gritted his teeth and said, "I can't care about that much anymore, let's find the target first!"

"En!" Chen Yiyi nodded, and continued to lead the team along the footsteps.

Soon we found another battlefield, but what surprised us all was... This time the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers were lying all over the ground.

After searching for the corpses of the Vietnamese army for a long time, we found the corpses of two PLA soldiers one behind the other in the mud on the side of the road.

The first corpse was covered in mud and blood, and he lay forward on the field ridge. There were 11 enemy corpses two meters in front of him. He held a submachine gun in his right hand, and next to him were a broken light machine gun and a 56 and a half.In addition to the submachine gun belt and grenades on his back, he also had a submachine gun belt, two rifle belts, and a machine gun magazine around his neck, and all of these belts were empty of bullets, even for the rifle.

The second corpse was lying 3 meters behind the right, also covered in mud and blood, maintaining a fighting posture, holding a machine gun in his hand, and the submachine gun was put aside, and the bullets were completely fired.

Then we found four more corpses in a ditch about 7 meters behind them, but none of them had guns on them. Judging from the bandages and injuries on these corpses, they should have been seriously wounded without combat capabilities before they died.

It is about 200 meters from the first corpse of the Vietnamese army to here. There are 200 traces of fierce fighting in this short 6 meters distance. , a rough count as many as 56.

The nearest one is only two meters away from the PLA soldiers...

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, we can almost imagine what kind of battle took place here.Two People's Liberation Army soldiers covered the four seriously wounded and fell behind here, but they did not leave the seriously wounded and left alone. Instead, they placed the seriously wounded in a deep ditch, and then took all their guns and bullets to fight against the enemy. fighting……

Although they still failed to win the battle and ultimately failed to save the lives of the wounded, we saw their struggle here and their spirit of never giving up until the last moment.

Two people, in the face of the attack of more than a hundred Vietnamese soldiers, were able to finish their bullets and persist until the last moment... 56 Vietnamese soldiers were killed on the spot, which is not counted as injuries.Even I, who has been fighting till now, have rarely seen such a tragic scene.

"The battle time is mostly at dusk!" Chen Yiyi looked at the surrounding environment and quickly made a judgment: "They use the sun at dusk to resist the enemy, and the terrain in this area is narrow, so there is a Such a result!"

Looking at the direction, I realized what Chen Yiyi meant by "by the evening sun". The two soldiers were located in the west, with their backs facing the setting sun, while the Vietnamese army was facing Sunshine... So under the stimulation of the sun, it can be said that the eyes are almost blind, and the two PLA soldiers have some advantages in the terrain and hide themselves well in the mud. The anti-Vietnamese army had more than a hundred people and achieved such a large casualty ratio.

It's just... In the end, they still couldn't hold on until we arrived!

I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to Hao Xiuchang, the squad leader of the 381th Company and the 9th Squad of the 5st Regiment, and the soldier Pi Xiangen.

Martyrs Hao Xiuchang and Pi Xiangen fought against the enemy in order to cover the wounded in the defenses of Banyue and Kuntong. They broke through with the wounded on their backs. The local government fought a desperate decisive battle with the enemy, and sacrificed his young life after firing all the bullets and killing 56 enemies. (To be continued.)
