blood of vietnam war

Chapter 190 Contact

What we can do for those martyrs is just to move their remains into the deep ditch and bury them hastily.Doing so would at least keep their wilds from being overwhelmed by beasts.

We have also thought about taking their remains back, but we have no conditions. The main reason is that we are still on the way to find the art troupe, and we don't know when we will go back. Taking the corpses forward will undoubtedly affect us to a large extent. speed and increase the risk of being discovered by the Vietnamese army.The result of doing so will undoubtedly bring a lot of uncertainties to the mission. On balance, we finally feel that saving people is more important...

We often have to make such choices on the battlefield, and usually we will put saving people first. This is not to say that we do not respect martyrs, but a reality, a reality that the dead cannot die... For the martyrs who sacrificed, we Nothing can be changed, but there is still a chance that more fighters will not become martyrs.I believe that those martyrs will also understand our approach.

After another few hours in the dark, our speed became slower and slower.

The first reason is that it is difficult to distinguish the footprints on the road in the dark, and sometimes there is even no road at all, which often makes Chen Yiyi have to take the risk of using a flashlight covered in black cloth.

Another more important reason is that we are getting closer and closer to the goal... Although it is a good thing to be close to the goal, we must know that the Vietnamese army is also chasing the art troupe, which means that we are more likely to encounter Vietnamese military agents Rather than a cultural troupe.

This also made Chen Yiyi have to stop after the last ten minutes of hard tracking.

Company Commander Luo quickly called a few of us for a small meeting...

"The situation is like this!" Company Commander Luo said in a low voice: "The second squad leader judged that the art troupe should be nearby based on the traces, so now there are two problems... one is how to avoid the Vietnamese army, and the other is how to follow The art troupe identifies and connects."

I looked at Chen Yiyi, and wondered how she got the conclusion that the art troupe was nearby from the traces. You must know that this neighborhood seems to be no different to us, it is all in the dark.

It was only later that I found out... People like Chen Yiyi who crawled out of the jungle naturally have a solution, and there is more than one solution: the weeds that were trampled on the ground, the branches that were broken, the kudzu vines that were pulled...all of these As long as you carefully observe where they are broken, you can roughly judge when they were broken.

Of course, such things as branches will not break by themselves. It is people who break them, the people who pass by.Therefore, by judging the time when it was broken, you can also know when the person passed by here.

It's just that this trick is easy to say, but difficult to do. The reason is that if you want to judge the time from the broken branches, you need long-term comparison and observation.

After a long time, no one answered Company Commander Luo's question, so everyone turned their attention to Chen Yiyi again.

Chen Yiyi shook her head helplessly and said: "If this is the Vietnamese army, maybe there is a way. In this case, they use the animal voices they have agreed to contact and identify, but now we are looking for an art troupe..."

Needless to say, we already know what to say next, since we haven't agreed on a contact method with the art troupe, then this trick obviously won't work.

"Then... all I can do is whisper!" Liang Lianbing felt helpless.

But obviously, this is quite dangerous, and it may not have any effect.The reason is that in this darkness, both the enemy and us are in the dark. If we whisper in Chinese, well... this is undoubtedly telling the Yue devils our location, but what about the art troupe?They will probably think that this is a trick by Yue Guizi to lure them out, and they will remain calm. After all, there are many Yue Guizi who can speak Chinese, right?

Therefore, it has to be said that this is the next strategy, and the result is very likely that not only will they not be able to contact their own people, but it will cause a disaster of death.

"Is there no other way?" Captain Luo asked, he also knew the danger of doing so, so he would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary.

Then there was another silence. There was no prior agreement on the code, and the radio could not reach the art troupe. What else could be done?

"How about..." Scar frowned and said, "Just wait until dawn!"

Company Commander Luo looked at the time, then shook his head and said in denial: "There are more than four hours before dawn, we don't have that much time!"

After thinking about it, I hesitated and said, "Commander, can we do the opposite?"

"Why do you do the opposite?" Company Commander Luo seemed to be waiting for me to speak, and then asked, "Tell me..."

I said, "If we can't call in Chinese...why can't we call in Vietnamese?"

Chen Yiyi couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Can the people in the art troupe understand Vietnamese? And the Vietnamese devils can also understand Vietnamese, right? What's the use of calling like this?"

In fact, the soldiers also had the same doubts, so I hurriedly explained: "I mean...we are not calling the art troupe, but Yue Guizi!"

"Call Yue Guizi?" Everyone couldn't help but cast surprised glances at me.

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "My idea is...the Yue Guizi suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle. We saw 56 corpses on the road, didn't we? Then the Vietnamese army at this time may be insufficient. It’s a bit powerless to deal with the art troupe!”

The soldiers around couldn't help but nodded, there was no doubt about this.The total strength of the Vietnamese army chasing the art troupe was no more than a hundred people, and the two martyrs on the road shot and killed 56 people. If this casualty ratio is used, the remaining dozens of Yue devils are not enough for the art troupe to fight. next?

In fact, it should be said that that battle was also a special case. The quality of our PLA combat troops is not as good as that of the Vietnamese army, let alone the art soldiers of the art troupe, not to mention that many of these art soldiers are female soldiers who need protection.

It's just...that battle seemed to have deterred the Vietnamese army, which may be the reason why the art troupe still exists until now.

What are the Vietnamese soldiers waiting for?

Wait for dawn?This seems impossible. There is no doubt that night battles are more advantageous for the Vietnamese army who are familiar with the terrain and good at jungle warfare.

So there is only one answer, that is, they are waiting for reinforcements, waiting for reinforcements that can eat up the art troupe in one bite.

"So..." After a pause, I continued: "Anyway, the Vietnamese army can't see our uniforms clearly in the dark, so we can pretend to be their reinforcements, call out the Yue devils in Vietnamese, and find them. That is to say, we found the art troupe... On the other hand, we don’t have to worry about misleading our own people. The art troupe is hiding from the Vietnamese army, isn’t it? Our calling in Vietnamese will only make them hide deeper, so we can deal with the Vietnamese devils at ease That's it."

"That's right!" Dao Scar nodded and said, "The current strength of the Vietnamese army should be about the same as ours. Let's deal with the Vietnamese army's chasing soldiers first, and then we want to explain how to contact the art troupe. Isn't it up to us to be happy?"

Company Commander Luo thought for a while and said, "We can try it, but we need to do a good job of identifying ourselves, otherwise it will be a mess!"

Of course, Company Commander Luo's worry is justified, because we are prepared to fight, and if we fight randomly because we can't recognize them, and the result is similar to the casualties of the Yue Devils, then it is not worthwhile.

But this problem doesn't seem to be difficult to solve, just tie a white towel on the arm or something.

Some people may say... Is this trick too old?Yue Guizi often use this trick on the battlefield, don't they?

But things on the battlefield are often like this. Although some tricks are old, they are very practical.For example, the white towel tied... We made an agreement in advance, and everyone was mentally prepared, so when we saw the white towel, we were sure it belonged to us.But what about the Vietnamese army?Although they also know that tying a white towel is a method of identifying friend or foe, they will feel uncertain and unprepared, so they will hesitate for a while in their heads... and it is precisely this hesitation that makes a decision Each other's life and death success or failure.

So the plan was quickly decided. Since we were preparing for night-time hand-to-hand combat, each of us had a bayonet attached to the rifle in advance, and then we lined up and searched carefully along the path in the dark.

It's just a little different from the previous plan...we didn't call in Vietnamese, but talked in a low voice.

The reason for this is because of what Chen Yiyi said before, Yueguizi usually use the sound of insects and birds to communicate in this situation... So, if we still call in Vietnamese at this moment: "Comrade Comrade...where are you?"...that's not too obvious, it's hard for Yue Guizi not to remember.

So we thought of a way to let a few people who can speak Vietnamese go ahead, such as me, Chen Yiyi, and Dao Scar... The three of us chatted in Vietnamese while walking forward, And it's still very quiet, afraid of being heard by others.

The topic of conversation is the corpses we saw before.for example:

"The Chinese [***] are so hateful that they killed so many of our comrades!"

"Yeah! Seizing these Chinese people must not make them feel good!"

"I just don't know where they are hiding now!"

……

It is conceivable that if the Yue Guizi found such an army in the dark, the first thing they would think was that this was their own army, and at most they would frown secretly: Why is this army so careless? Here, I don’t send out a contact signal, and I don’t worry about being misunderstood by friendly troops or discovered by the enemy.

Sure enough, after only ten minutes of advancing like this, Chen Yiyi secretly tugged at the corner of my clothes in the dark.

I stopped my mouth in shock, and after listening carefully, I noticed a few inconspicuous but regular crickets from the grass on the left... (To be continued.)
