blood of vietnam war

Chapter 20

The battle ended soon. After I led a squad to attack the hilltop position on the left highland, the defenses of the two highlands of the Vietnamese army quickly disintegrated and collapsed under the internal and external attacks of us and the main force.Our army did not capture a single prisoner in this battle. The Vietnamese army ambushed on the two high grounds were either killed on the battlefield, or were secretly shot dead by soldiers when they surrendered.

The cadres in the battalion and the company also saw the soldiers shooting and killing the prisoners, but they didn't say anything, acquiescing to the soldiers' behavior that violated policy and discipline.

The casualties of the soldiers were too great and the sacrifices were too miserable, so that everyone was dazzled by that hatred and lost their minds.

In hindsight, I also felt a little scared about my actions at the time.Because I can still clearly remember that at that time, I was full of anger and murderous intent, and whenever I saw the enemy, I wanted to kill him, whether it was with a gun or a knife, Even if you bite with your teeth, you have to bite off the flesh of those Yue Devils piece by piece!

I think other fighters thought the same as me at that time, it was like a drunk person who didn't care about anything, like a crazy person who didn't care about anything... Although we didn't Drunk is not crazy, but it is more vicious and vicious than drunk crazy people.

At that time, we were like a group of murderers, a group of murderers possessed by evil spirits... Isn't it?Several soldiers very calmly put several Vietnamese prisoners of war on the ground and knelt in a row, then drew out their pistols and "bang bang..." several times, and killed them one by one; One went to examine the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers, and occasionally stabbed a few wounded or fake dead; some soldiers even shot bullets from their guns into the corpses of Vietnamese soldiers on the ground while crying loudly... …

Although this scene is a bit cruel, if we were asked to choose again, we would do it again without hesitation.

Because——if we don't do this, we will be sorry for those comrades who died!

I led the soldiers slowly down the plateau and into the paddy fields, only to find that the paddy fields were full of corpses of our soldiers, and the dirty water in the paddy fields had been dyed dazzling red by the blood of the soldiers.Those PLA soldiers who died were covered in mud and had different expressions.

Some of them still held guns in their hands, some held grenades, and some had mortar guns beside them and held shells in their hands, all of them looked like they were fighting.

A soldier carrying ammunition, the bullet was shot in from his back, the four bullet holes on the back of the belt are less than five centimeters apart, the front stomach has been completely exploded, the intestines and internal organs have been sliced ​​into pieces by the enemy's bullets Duan flew more than ten meters away...

A cadre holding a mortar was hit between the eyebrows by a bullet, and the back half of his skull was completely torn off, leaving only a little red and white stuff in his head.

There was also a soldier who died on the road. Both his legs were blown off, but he still insisted on crawling to the enemy's high ground for more than ten meters, leaving two long bloodstains behind him. A submachine gun full of bullets, holding a pen in his right hand, and writing his last words crookedly on the palm of his left hand - "I want to join the party".

After a while, the follow-up troops of our army also came up, and they were stunned on the spot when they saw this tragic scene. The health workers rushed up immediately, looking for people who could still be rescued in the mud and corpses, and found them. Can't help but shed tears...

"Comrade! You fought well!" The battalion commander who was covered in blood stood beside me at some point, patted my shoulder, looked at the soldiers beside me and said, "And you, this The battle was fought beautifully! If it weren't for you, the loss of our troops..."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh, and couldn't continue the following words. He just nodded to us and said, "Thanks to you..."

"Battalion Commander!" The scholar came up and said, "They are also our comrades-in-arms, so there is no loss or loss! Fortunately, we avenged the soldiers, otherwise we would have died!"

"Hmm!" The battalion commander nodded and asked me, "Which company do you belong to?"

"Report to the battalion commander!" I stood up and replied, "We are in the second platoon of the second company!"

"Squad leader... Where is our platoon leader?" Upon hearing my number, Xiao Shitou couldn't help but shuddered: "Why is our platoon leader missing? Could it be..."

"Don't give me the crow's mouth!" I panicked when I heard this, and after saluting to the battalion commander, I hurriedly ordered: "Go to the troops immediately!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and immediately spread out in groups of two to search, some turned over the corpses on the ground, some asked people, and some called the platoon leader directly at the crowd.

But it's not easy to find people in such a chaotic battlefield, let's find people among the corpses!There are corpses that have been beaten so hard that no one can recognize them. If you ask anyone, no one will know. Most of our troops are new recruits, and some of them died before they knew each other...

When a group of us were dying of nervousness, suddenly a cry came from the mountain depression: "Here it is! Come here..."

Let's follow the sound, who else is it if it's not Scar?Involuntarily heaving a sigh of relief, Xiao Shitou and the others saw that his head and hands were covered with bandages, so they couldn't help but ran up in three steps at a time, shouting while running: "Platoon leader, are you injured? How does it hurt?"

I ran closer and took a look. It turned out that this mountain col had been temporarily converted into a field hospital. The wounded were lying on the ground horizontally. There were black blood stains everywhere and busy health workers. There were screams and wailing one after another...

"Come here and help?" Scar yelled at us while using his uninjured right hand to help the health worker hold down a wounded man who was bandaging a broken leg.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded and hurriedly joined the ranks of the health workers.

"Where did you all go?" Scar asked, "Our platoon was almost wiped out, do you know that? It's good for you, you don't see your shadows during the battle, and you are alive after the battle." is back!"

After being told by Scar, many soldiers looked towards us, and many wounded even spat hard... It made us all feel embarrassed!

"Hey! I said you, comrade..." At some point, the battalion commander followed behind, and he obviously heard Scar's lesson to us, and said to Scar with some dissatisfaction: "You are the second platoon leader! It is not the style of a cadre to label people without knowing the situation!"

"Battalion Commander!" Dao Scar hurriedly stood up and stood in front of the battalion commander.

"Second platoon leader!" The battalion commander said to Dao Scar: "These soldiers performed very well on the battlefield just now! When most of their comrades were running in panic and rushing to resist, they bravely and bravely dived through the ditch. Then, with a squadron of troops, they rushed to the top of the Vietnamese army's high ground, and cooperated with the main force to disintegrate the Vietnamese army's defense line in one fell swoop! Their heroic fighting behavior is worthy of our praise. As their platoon leader, how can you How can you label people without knowing the actual situation? If all the cadres are like you, then which soldier is willing to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield!"

"Yes!" Scar stood up and answered again.

"Reflect on yourself!" The battalion commander said meaningfully to Scar: "The next time you speak, remember to clarify the matter first!"

"Yes!" Scar had already realized that he had wrongly blamed us, so he didn't dare to explain anything, he just stood up and said yes.

After the battalion commander left, Scar relaxed, and asked with a wry smile, "You were the ones who touched the devil's mountain?"

"That's still false..." Xiao Shitou snatched up and said vividly: "Platoon leader...you don't know about that scene. We sneaked into the artillery position of Yue Guizi, and Yue Guizi only focused on shooting cannons and didn't take care of us, hehe It was a good fight..."

"Yes! We killed dozens of Yue Guizi's artillery in one go, and they didn't even have a chance to fight back!"

"That's right... After fighting the artillery, I went on to fight the Yue Guizi on the slope. It's really enjoyable to fight!"

……

When Scar asked this question, the soldiers started talking in a hurry.A few wounded people beside me also came up with great interest and asked about this and that. The soldiers even more vigorously moved us up the canal, and used the thatch to lurk to the top of the mountain to defeat the Vietnamese army. When I said it in detail, all the wounded and health workers around me cast envious and admiring glances at us.

"Good boy!" Dao Scar sat next to me and handed me a cigarette, he laughed and said, "I also know that there are people who seem to be playing tricks behind the devil, but I didn't expect it to be you! This time it's for us Pai showed his face, no! We even have a bald face..."

He lit the cigarette for Scar and himself, took a deep breath, and then relaxed the tense nerves all over his body, and asked, "How is your injury? It doesn't matter!"

"It's okay!" Scar raised his left hand hanging around his neck to look at it, and said with a frown, "It's just some skin trauma, rest for two days and it will be fine! It's our army..."

As he spoke, his brows were deeply locked together, he exhaled a long puff of smoke, and said a few words: "How many people fought in ancient times!"

I would like to use this chapter to pay tribute to the soldiers of the 162rd Battalion of the 484th Regiment of the 3nd Division.When the battalion entered the unnamed highland on the south side of Bam according to the order, it was ambushed by the Vietnamese army, killing 58 people and wounding 43 people, accounting for 40.00% of the number of people blocked by the enemy at that time.
