blood of vietnam war

Chapter 68

"The situation is like this!" The company commander spread out a map in front of us and said: "Our troops of the 14th Army are attacking Gantang with all their strength, and the enemy's 345th Division is stationed in Gantang. The enemy in front of us is the enemy's 316a The division's troops are roughly estimated to be as large as a regiment, and they are still increasing. The task of the 316a division...is to reinforce the 345th division of Gantang through Highway 345, and cooperate with the [-]th division's troops to attack Laojie. And our task is to firmly hold the enemy's neck to prevent the enemy from passing through, so as to ensure the smooth progress of Gantang's battle! In other words, as long as we persist until Gantang's victory, the enemy will lose!"

When I heard this, I felt very angry--damn it!In Gantang, one of our troops is fighting against one of the enemy's divisions, and all the cannons are given to them... That is to kill chickens with a bull's knife!Use three times the superior force to deal with a third-rate Vietnamese army division, and what about us?Use a regiment of recruits to deal with a regiment of the enemy's 316a Division.

They don't even think about what division 316a is?A role model for Yue Guizi!Both the weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers are top-notch.What makes me even more unbearable is that it is said that one of our regiments is fighting against a regiment of the 316a division, but in fact it is our company that is fighting in front. The reason why the enemy has not eaten our company is completely Because their forces cannot be deployed in a large area on the road and they cannot pull out our nails.

"Why didn't the superior give us reinforcements!" I still asked this sentence, because I knew it was useless to ask other questions, and it would be more realistic to ask for reinforcements.

The company commander cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and then pointed to the map with difficulty and said: "The superior's arrangement is as follows. Our army's main force is deployed along the 528.3 Heights, 391 Heights, and 263 Heights, and is ready to fight the enemy to the death. , and... the superiors always think that the enemy is playing tricks, so..."

When I heard this, I understood that the superiors didn't pay attention to our 239 highland, which doesn't have much elevation, and didn't even put us in the defense line.However, this seems to be justifiable. If our high ground is placed in the defense line, it will form a protrusion, which is easy to besieged and broken by the enemy.But... since they have given up on this high ground, why do they let us guard here!

"Company Commander!" Dao Scar spoke out my heart, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Since the superior has no plan to take our 239 Heights, why doesn't he let us retreat?"

"Buy time!" The company commander smiled wryly, and said, "The longer we defend, the more time other troops will have to prepare!"

"Prepare for a ball!" Scar slammed his fist on the map, cursing unceremoniously: "I think they are frightened by this devil and the ace army!"

"Scar!" The instructor yelled at the side: "Don't talk nonsense! The superior has the arrangement of the superior. The superior considers the victory of the entire battlefield and proceeds from the overall strategy. The plan formulated will inevitably conflict with our immediate interests. , but from the perspective of long-term interests and the overall interests of the troops, the superior's consideration is reasonable!"

The instructor had nothing to say when he said Scar, but I smiled bitterly in my heart—the facts have proved that the superior’s consideration this time was wrong!

It's just that even if I know this, I'm powerless. I'm just a small platoon leader, and my power is not so powerful that what I say can affect the decision-making of the entire regiment.Besides, what should I say about this matter?Do I still have to tell them that I am a modern person, knowing that the devils will not make a fuss until the end of this war?

"Company Commander, Instructor!" Liang Lianbing was the last to speak. He was obviously dissatisfied with the arrangement of his superiors, and he said in a muffled voice: "We can only obey the orders of the superiors, but... After these few battles, We're almost out of bullets! Then we can't let us fight the Yue devils with stones!"

Liang Lianbing's words made my eyes light up. Damn, why didn't I think of ammunition?If the ammunition is not replenished, even if we all die here, we won't be able to stop Yue Guizi, right?

So I immediately added embellishment and said: "Yes, we don't have much ammunition in the platoon. I guess the Yue Devils will charge two more... We don't have any bullets to deal with it!"

The fact is that the guns and bullets of the Yue Guizi are completely compatible with our army, and our army can often replenish ammunition from the Vietnamese army when the Vietnamese army charges...so the bullets are not as exaggerated as I said.

"We have already reported this problem to our superiors!" The company commander nodded and said, "Don't worry, comrades. The superiors have already sent us a supply team, and it is estimated that they will arrive in two hours."

Hearing this answer, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. How I wish the words from the company commander's mouth were: Because the mountains are high and the roads are steep, it is difficult to supply the troops.

But I know that this is just a luxury, a beautiful dream.

So there is only one way left to go, and that is to defend here until the Vietnamese army kills us all, or our army breaks through the 345th Division's defense line first.

Now it's like a game, the protagonists are the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army and our 14th Army, and the supporting roles are our company and the 345th Division of the Yue Army. It's up to which protagonist to eat the supporting role of the other side first...

"Comrades!" The instructor broke the silence, waving his hands and said: "The situation we have to face is difficult, and the task is also arduous, but... we should also see that the superior entrusted us with such a arduous task, It is the trust in our company, we must not live up to the expectations of our superiors, fight this battle well, fight the blood of our second company, and fight the momentum of our 14th army..."

At this time, the Vietnamese army was very cooperative and fired more than a dozen shells. A burst of "Boom..." interrupted the instructor's lesson. I couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in my heart: I have never liked the enemy as much as I do now. bombarded.

"Company commander!" After the bombardment, Scar asked the most practical question: "We haven't closed our eyes all day since last night, and the soldiers are exhausted... Now, the more devils Playing this fatigue tactic, after such a night, I am worried that the soldiers will not be able to bear it tomorrow..."

"Hmm!" The company commander frowned. He was obviously worried about this issue. In fact, the company commander might not be able to bear it anymore.

This can't be blamed on the company commander, nor can we blame the soldiers. Let me tell you, we all grew up in peaceful times. Except for a few people like Dao Scar, no one has fought a war a few days ago, let alone a war. , I haven't even seen the dead.But now as soon as it comes up... facing such a harsh environment, no one can bear this huge contrast. It's no wonder that some people are timid and hurt themselves, or want to be deserters.

Suddenly, I remembered a sentence the old man said: "Yue Guizi's black heart, he kept firing cannons at night to keep us from sleeping. How could the devil think that we were so bold that we sneaked into the devil's artillery position at night..."

Sneak attack on the devil's artillery position? ! ! !

I can't help being stunned by this idea, how much courage it takes!We are all exhausted now, and there are only a hundred or so recruits in total, and they are still recruits who have suffered heavy casualties... It is luck to be able to hold on, and we can also sneak attack the artillery positions of the devil's ace troops?

So I made up my mind to keep this idea in my stomach, even if it rotted inside, I wouldn't say it.

But then I thought about it again: If there was no sneak attack on the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army... then we would lose this battle?Just like Dao Scar said just now, let the Yue devils harass us like this for one night, and I'm afraid they can easily attack us the next day, so my life is still in danger?

So instead, he did it... Maybe there is still a chance.

So I had no choice but to say: "Company commander, look... can we go and attack the devil's artillery position?"

"Sneak attack on the devil's artillery position?" Everyone was taken aback by my words, even the instructor.

"You are so bold!" Company Commander Luo smiled wryly, "We are unfamiliar with the place and know nothing about the enemy's situation, neither the deployment of the Vietnamese army nor where their artillery positions are. Sneak attack method? Isn’t that looking for death?”

In fact, I didn't want to, but I had no choice but to hold on weakly in order to survive: "I'm not familiar with the terrain, and Chen Yiyi in my platoon can handle it. The enemy's situation is unknown... we might be able to pass by pretending to be the Vietnamese army. As for not knowing the location of the artillery position... the Yue Guizi fires a cannon every ten minutes, so let's just follow the sound of the cannon to find it?"

After listening to my words, all the people around showed contemplative expressions. After a long while, the company commander nodded and said: "If we can get rid of the devil's artillery position... it will not only give us a rest, but also let us rest." Deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale and offensive firepower, and our chances of winning will greatly increase!"

"What the company commander said is right!" Dao Scar also nodded and said, "I'm afraid the Yue Guizi would never have imagined that we, who are already weak in strength, would dare to send out a unit to attack the artillery positions...... If it succeeds, then our ideological work will also be successful." No need to do it, this victory is the best stimulant!"

"I agree too!" Liang Lianbing nodded and said, "The Yue Devils just attacked our artillery battalion in the old street, didn't they? ..."

Company Commander Luo thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay! Just hit like this, it's a near-death anyway, why don't you give it a go! Give the **** a hard time!"
