Scarlet Romance
Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Regarding Zhang Haiyang's transfer, both Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun knew it well. It must be because of his father's relationship. I heard that there was a chief in the military department who was his father's old subordinate. A well-intentioned arrangement that goes without saying.It is said that there is a rule that all military officers who are transferred to work in various headquarters agencies in Beijing must have the experience of working in military-level agencies.From this point of view, Zhang Haiyang has already taken the first step of the curve adjustment, and the next step is to move to the Beijing headquarters.Since we are all buddies, there is no need to point out some things at all, and whoever has a way will go, which is not unjust.Besides, friends have a better future, everyone should be happy.
Both Zhang Haiyang and Wu Mantun were very drunk that day. Zhang Haiyang drank 8 taels of Wuliangye that day, and his mouth was already full of tongues. Yes, there is a bit of trouble in the military department, and he will talk to his brothers immediately.Also, after he arrived at the military organization, the first thing he did was to "set magnetism" with the cadres of the political department. Friends in the cadres would not suffer, and the brothers would also have to move to the top in the future.
Zhong Yuemin was not drunk that day. He was not interested in Zhang Haiyang's wish, because he never wanted to be the commander of the army. If you ask for a job change, your superiors will never agree, especially the officers of the reconnaissance unit. It is not easy to train a person, and you will not be easily approved to change jobs.It seems that they can only survive for another two years. At that time, a large number of military school graduates will flood into the army to replace their officers. By then, Zhong Yuemin can pat his ass and leave.
Zhong Yuemin's wishful thinking was wrong, he had just been a company commander for a year, and before he had time to report his career change to his superiors, the war ushered in...
At the beginning of 1979, the southwestern border was covered with war clouds.At this time, not to mention soldiers, even ordinary people can smell the breath of war. The escalating frictions in the border areas filled the air with a strong smell of gunpowder. Zhong Yuemin clearly felt that the war was approaching.
At the beginning of January, large armies gathered in the southwestern border. On the roads in the border area, long columns of tanks rolled up billowing dust and drove rapidly. The howitzers were assembled urgently to the designated area on the road.
Zhong Yuemin's unit was also urgently transferred to the border area. Before the war, all units conducted jungle warfare training.Zhong Yuemin took the soldiers for tactical training in the jungle all day long, while Wu Mantun was busy mobilizing the company before the battle.
One evening, Zhong Yuemin led the soldiers back to the station along the road after training, just in time to meet a tank from the tank regiment passing by on the road. The track of the tank rolled up dust all over the sky, and the roar of the engine was deafening.Zhong Yuemin didn't want to eat the dust, so he quickly ordered the troops to avoid the road.The tankers leaning out of the cockpit jeered loudly at the infantry, and the infantry cursed back, and some soldiers even picked up clods of dirt and threw them at the tankers.
Zhong Yuemin found that Liu Jianguo, his comrade-in-arms when he was in the recruit company, showed half of his body from the tank and was waving to him.Liu Jianguo is also a soldier in Beijing. He joined the army in the same year as Zhong Yuemin, and is now the commander of the second company of the tank regiment.Liu Jianguo jumped out of the car and ran towards Zhong Yuemin, and the two shook hands affectionately.Liu Jianguo said loudly: "Yuemin, we have been soldiers for 10 years and have done exercises. This time, it's time for the real thing. We have to have a good time."
Zhong Yuemin laughed and said: "You are afraid that you will not be able to fight, but you really haven't noticed that you are a war madman."
Liu Jianguo said: "Soldiers are valuable only when there are battles. Otherwise, what is the country doing to support the army? Yuemin, I guess our two units will cooperate in combat this time."
"How do you know? You little company commander, just take care of your tanks. You are not the one who made the battle plan."
Liu Jianguo lowered his voice and said, "A buddy of mine was a combat staff officer in front of me, and the information is absolutely reliable. Our army's combat policy is: limited time, limited depth, concentration of superior forces, roundabout encirclement, quick battle and quick decision, and quick return of the enemy." The direction of our regiment's assault is City G. I studied the map and found that there are several bridges and passes on our attack route. I guess this should be the work of your reconnaissance battalion. According to the traditional style of our army, you reconnaissance The detachment will be inserted in place in advance to seize the bridge and the pass to clear the way for the tank group."
Zhong Yuemin said: "All the work is done by us, why do you go? If you are capable of fighting over by yourself, aren't your tank soldiers very good during the exercise? You can still fight through without the cover of our infantry."
"Brother, go and look at the map. The terrain is too complicated. It's a typical subtropical mountain jungle area. When encountering this kind of terrain, tanks can't play well. We can't even start a battle formation. Without infantry cover, we will die. deal."
Zhong Yuemin gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "You still have today? Are you stupid this time? How about this? Before the battle, you treat my brothers to a drink, and we will do this job well, or else, you can fight it yourself. Let's go to G City."
"Well, if we're both alive after the war, I'll buy you a drink. If my tank gets hit by an armor-piercing bullet, I'll turn into a fucking puff of smoke and go somewhere. Yuemin, I have to go Alright, see you on the battlefield."
Liu Jianguo jumped on the tank and left.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the passing tanks and pondered what Liu Jianguo had said. He suddenly had an impulse in his heart. Before, he never dreamed that he would catch up with the war, but who knew that the war was approaching him all at once.Don't you like to play?This time there is something to play with.
The task of the reconnaissance team was finally issued. It was Commander Cao who personally ordered the generals, and Zhong Yuemin was appointed to lead the team.Because Zhong Yuemin is quite famous in the C Army, even the intelligence department of the military region knows him as a small company commander.This operation is of great importance. In order to strengthen the strength of the reconnaissance unit, Zhang Haiyang, the staff officer of the military reconnaissance department, was also sent to Zhong Yuemin's reconnaissance unit as a deputy.
On the day Zhang Haiyang came to report with a backpack on his back, Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun expressed gloating.Since this kid was transferred to the military organization, he felt good about himself, and his every move always had the style of a chief. Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mandun thought he was a bit in need of a beating.Wu Mantun ordered the correspondent to pour water and make tea, and welcome the head of the military agency to inspect the work one by one.
Zhong Yuemin took Zhang Haiyang's backpack and jokingly said, "May I ask Staff Officer Zhang sent by the military agency to give us combat missions?"
Zhang Haiyang punched Zhong Yuemin in the chest: "What kind of grandson are you pretending to be? One of you is the task leader and the other is the instructor. I, the vice-captain, am just a slob."
Wu Mantun said: "Hang Hai, you haven't been back to the company since you arrived in the military, have you forgotten your brothers?"
Zhong Yuemin also said: "Yang Haiyang, do you fucking think that you are the chief and don't bother to deal with our grassroots company? This time it's okay, God open his eyes and send you back again. You have to obey orders and obey orders, sir. Put on the airs of the higher authorities."
Zhang Haiyang smiled wryly and said, "I said buddy, what is this for? Seeing that I'm an outsider, what's wrong with bullying people?"
"That's right, we just bully the outsiders. Anyone sent by the superior authority will be a grandson for a few days when they arrive at a three-acre land in the company. threatened.
Wu Mantun said: "Okay, stop chattering, let's get down to business."
Zhang Haiyang became serious. He opened the military map and said, "Okay, let's talk about business first. The situation is like this. Our task is to form a task force to go deep behind the enemy's rear before the war. The specific task is to occupy the No. 203 bridge near Height 4." Please look at the map, the No. 4 bridge is here..." Zhang Haiyang pointed to a point on the map.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the map and calculated it: "Well, the depth of the intersecting is 40 kilometers. This is still a straight line distance. In fact, it is more than 100 kilometers. Look here, the contour lines are densely packed, and the mountains, jungles, cliffs, and rivers are all there. That's enough for us to drink a pot. Ocean, how big is the task force?"
Zhang Haiyang said: "According to the mission, the temporarily formed task force is composed of 24 people, composed of backbones with high technical and tactical levels in the reconnaissance company. The specific list will be jointly drawn up by us."
Wu Mantun said: "Please explain the task in more detail."
"Occupy the No. 4 bridge by means of a surprise attack first, and then control the 203 highlands to prevent the enemy from counterattacking and retaking the bridge. This is the only way for our army to attack G City. A large number of tank troops have to pass through the bridge. One thing I think I would like to remind everyone that the enemy will definitely plant explosives under the bridge, and if they discover our attempt to seize the bridge, they will blow up the bridge immediately, so that our previous efforts will be wasted."
Zhong Yuemin looked at the map and said, "Haiyang, is the information accurate? I think there is something wrong here."
"What do you think."
"It's no problem to occupy the bridge by surprise. The key is the speed of crossing. The route we are going to take is already terrible enough from the map. In actual crossing, I am afraid that there will be many unimaginable problems. Who can guarantee the time? What? It is very likely that we have not rushed to the bridge, but the tank troops have already arrived. If the enemy blows up the bridge in advance, then the tank troops will be in a dilemma, and they will become a living target for the opponent's artillery. Also, even if we successfully capture The bridge may not be able to guarantee the safety of the bridge, because we are within the range of the opponent's artillery fire, such an important target, the opponent must have already calibrated their firepower to attack Zhu Yuan, once the artillery fire covers it, the bridge will still not be able to hold."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Okay, Yuemin, you have a good brain, make sense, and make sense. I will definitely report your thoughts to the forward, but I guess it will be of little use, because we are just a part of the whole battle pattern." A small chess piece, at most, can be regarded as a pawn crossing the boundary river, and people's attention is all on the horses and guns."
Zhong Yuemin was in a hurry: "That's stupid. They don't understand the essence of special operations. Sometimes the success or failure of an entire battle depends on a bridge. Do you want to hear a battle case? Let me tell you..."
"Okay, buddy, don't give me a class, talk to the commander if you have the ability, but the commander has already gone to the military region for a meeting, let's prepare to carry out the mission."
The task force composed of the first reconnaissance company had broken away from the formation of the reconnaissance battalion before the war, and was directly commanded by the former finger. In the tent of the task force, the task force members were nervously packing and checking their equipment.
A soldier is sharpening a dagger on a whetstone, testing the sharpness of the blade with his thumb from time to time, and two soldiers are pressing bullets into the magazines of Type 56 submachine guns.
Ning Wei, the acting platoon leader in the first row, was packing his rucksacks, putting ropes, hooks and other equipment into the rucksacks.
Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Wu Mantun were checking the equipment of the soldiers one by one.
Zhong Yuemin said to Ning Wei: "First platoon leader, you seem to have overdue your service for two years, right?"
Ning Wei said: "Company commander, you should call the acting platoon leader. I have overdue my service for 3 years."
Wu Mantun said: "Ning Wei, you are not very lucky. A few years ago, you were approved when you were promoted, but now it is getting more and more difficult. The company has reported to you three times. It is estimated that this time the war will be over. You can get rid of the word 'agent', and it would be even better if you can make a contribution."
"Don't worry, instructor, I will do a good job."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Instructor Wu, when do you plan to mobilize before the battle? This is your job."
"Tonight, I'm ready."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Man Tun, how about giving the brothers a holiday tonight? We should also go for a drink."
"Then this pre-war mobilization—"
Zhong Yuemin said: "This is not easy to handle, I will help you to do this job now." He shouted, "Task Force, all assemble!"
The task force members quickly stand in line and wait for the captain's pre-war mobilization.
Zhong Yuemin inspected all the team members from left to right and said: "Brothers, I don't need to say that you know that we are going to fight soon. Before we set off, I would like to ask everyone, is there anyone who is afraid of death?"
The team members yelled: "No!"
"Hmph, that's what I said, I still don't quite believe it, none of us have been on the battlefield, how do I know if you are afraid of death, so I have to say it up front, if anyone is afraid of death, it's not too late to say it, At best, I will send you to a court-martial, but your life can be saved. If you don’t say it now, and you regret it when you go to the battlefield, then I’m sorry. So, today I will take the place of the instructor to fight Before the mobilization, the central issue was: awareness and psychological preparation for death. My question is, what would happen if you were hit by a 7.62mm bullet?"
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Company Commander, this is a pediatric question, I will answer it, the bullet will drill a hole in my body..."
"Well, that's true, but it's an understatement. There is a discipline called trauma ballistics, which studies what happens when a bullet hits the human body. Let me describe it to you. First, the bullet will hit the front of the body at a speed of 850 meters per second. A small opening less than 1 cm in diameter is left on the skin at the point of injection, and the huge shock wave formed when the bullet passes through the body will shock the internal organs, and then pass through the human body at a speed of 570 meters per second. The wound will reach a diameter of more than 12 centimeters, and if it hits the head, the wound will be even more terrifying, it will blow off 1/3 of your skull..."
The soldiers listened quietly, but no one showed a look of fear. Wu Mantun was a little panicked. What kind of pre-war mobilization is this? Not only can it not boost morale, but it will cause fear to the soldiers. He wants to stop Zhong Yuemin Going on, he hurriedly said: "Company commander, shall we formally mobilize again at night?"
Zhang Haiyang tugged Wu Mantun's sleeve quietly to signal him to listen, but Wu Mantun fell silent.
Zhong Yuemin continued: "If this bullet happens to hit your artery, then under the powerful pressure of 83.3 milliliters of blood pumped by the heart per second, the blood can be ejected to a place 10 meters away. In just a few seconds, the bleeding The volume will reach 1000ml, and a person who was alive and kicking a few seconds ago will immediately be on the verge of death. At this time, your skin is bluish-yellow, and your muscles are loose, including the sphincter - your bladder and bowels will be incontinent, and your body surface will quickly When it gets colder, the originally healthy and elastic human body feels like meat on the chopping board..."
Zhao Dongsheng, the leader of the fifth class, was a little annoyed. He felt that the company commander was scaring the children, but he made a mistake. This is not a kindergarten, and the brothers are not preschool children. Who are you scaring?You, Zhong Yuemin, personally selected this task force. If you don't trust us, you can find someone else.He felt compelled to remind the company commander that he was dealing with a bunch of dudes, not preschoolers or pussies.Zhao Dongsheng coughed impatiently: "Commander, I have something to say and I don't know if I should say it or not."
"speak!"
"You don't seem to be a childcare worker in a kindergarten, nor a party representative of a women's army company, and we are neither preschoolers nor women, have you made a mistake? Company commander, I want to remind you that you are You're dealing with a bunch of dudes, and you're supposed to talk to your brethren as you would talk to men."
"Oh, I'm dealing with a bunch of dudes? Thanks for reminding me, I didn't remember..."
"What are you talking about..." Class [-] monitor Zhao Dongsheng muttered dissatisfiedly.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it just 7.62mm caliber? If the company commander wants to scare people, he might as well use a larger caliber thing. For example, for a 12.7mm caliber high-speed machine bullet, the entrance of the light bullet must be greater than 3 cm, and the exit must be greater than 20 cm. You can catch up with anything on the battlefield. Maybe a 152mm howitzer shell falls directly on your ass, then you are no longer meat on the chopping board, but may become meat for dumplings Xiao, if you catch up, it’s like winning the jackpot. Company commander, you have something to say, don’t scare us, you want to see us pee your pants, don’t you?”
Zhong Yuemin also smiled: "Okay, I know what death is all about, so I won't take vaccinations anymore. What I want to tell everyone is that we are all soldiers, and when we wear this uniform, we should Be mentally prepared to die on the battlefield one day in the future. My pre-war mobilization is not rational. I just want to remind everyone from another angle that this is the spirit of the contract. When we wear military uniforms, it is equivalent to signing a contract with the country. A contract. That is to say, if the world is peaceful, the country will support you; if there is war, you will naturally shed blood and sacrifice. This is your responsibility and obligation, and it is also a contract that you must fulfill. Those who escape the contract No matter what the reason is, even if you are not a liar, you are also a person who lacks credibility. A person can make a living in many ways, but he must never regard being a soldier as a means of making a living. The soldier is not a job to earn a living. Do you understand? ?”
"Understood!" the task force shouted.
Zhong Yuemin laughed, and he changed the subject: "This reminds me of another topic, does a person have a soul, and if so, does the soul really look like what is written in the book? Report to Lord Yan. Okay, Let's take it as real. If I win the jackpot, I will set up a task force. If anyone is willing to sign up, tell me in a while. I will take my brothers to visit the Hall of Yama. Take him to Yan Luodian..."
The task force members yelled "Aww" and applauded wildly: "Company commander, no problem, who have we been afraid of in a row? Take him away..."
"Company Commander, your pre-war mobilization is really fucking uplifting. If I win the lottery, I will go with you, and I will lead the vanguard team..."
Zhang Haiyang also applauded and said: "Count me in, and bring the bazooka, 82, and the king of hell has tanks. Also, don't forget to bring your compressed biscuits, it must be fun."
Ning Wei shouted sincerely: "Company Commander, I admire you, you are the number one desperado in the world."
Wu Mantun hurriedly stopped and said, "Ning Wei, what are you talking about? What desperadoes? We are revolutionary soldiers..."
The task force entered the jungle at midnight. There were 24 members in the team. They were divided into 8 combat groups according to the three-three system principle. The famous Zhong Yuemin absolutely believes in every team member under him.
The jungle in the dark is difficult to walk, and the task force is almost groping forward. Zhong Yuemin uses the compass to correct the direction from time to time. He hopes that the sky will be brighter soon, and the marching speed can only be accelerated after dawn.Fortunately for him, in addition to the ammunition base of 300 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades, each task force also carried a 40mm rocket on their backs.They can maintain good physical strength in such a complex mountain and jungle area with heavy equipment on their backs for several hours. Extraordinary physical fitness.
The morning finally came, and the scenery in the field of vision gradually became clear. The jungle was filled with a faint morning mist. The team walked in a piece of wormwood and bushes. The green grass was dotted with small red and yellow flowers, and its petals spread out like a tray. , with bright yellow stamens exposed in the middle.Zhong Yuemin also found that there are slender spinosas growing here and there. He knew this kind of fern from the "Field Survival Textbook". Ready to eat".
Zhong Yuemin raised his binoculars to observe the opposite mountain. This mountain is hump-shaped, with a saddle between the two peaks, and gray-white rocks occasionally appear on the lush mountain.Zhong Yuemin watched for a long time, and for some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
Ning Wei, who served as a vanguard, approached Zhong Yuemin and said in a low voice: "Company commander, just now I saw a bright spot flashing on the opposite mountain, but it disappeared when I looked closely. It is on the side facing the light. I guess it is the reflection of the telescope." .”
Zhong Yuemin immediately became alert: "Oh, did you see clearly?"
"That's right, it just flashed. Are there any reflective objects in the jungle?"
Zhong Yuemin gave an order: "The whole team is ready to fight. Once the vanguard team finds out the situation, they will fire at the enemy first. Remember, don't love to fight, just rush over."
Ning Wei released the safety of the submachine gun and led the vanguard group into the jungle.
Zhang Haiyang put away the telescope and said to Zhong Yuemin: "If the light spot Ning Wei saw was the reflection of the telescope, then there is only one conclusion, we are being followed from a long distance."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Interesting, and we played together. A platoon leader, set a few trip mines on our way, let's play with him."
A platoon leader agreed to lead two soldiers to lay mines.
The task force launched a battle formation to search and advance. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang walked in the middle of the team, and Wu Mandun walked at the end with the cover team at the back.
Ning Wei, who led the vanguard team, found that the surrounding jungle has gradually turned into a primary secondary forest, with fewer and fewer bushes, tall trees above his head, and kudzu vines and thorns under his feet. The thorny wild vines caught the legs.The forest is thick and dense, and the bright sunlight can't penetrate through the luxuriant branches and leaves, only a few spots of light occasionally see through the mesh formed by the branches and leaves.The leaves that have accumulated under the tree for many years are soft, and when you step on it, you will splash a puddle of black and smelly water that emits a rotten smell.A net-shaped aerial root hangs from a big tree in front of me, and the aerial root is swaying slightly, like rows of nooses. It seems that there is no jungle in front of it, but an endless tunnel that is so green and black.
Ning Wei leaned close to the second squad leader Kong Xiaoping's ear and whispered: "I bet you, if the enemy plans to play tricks on us, this is the most suitable place."
Sun Xiaoping said suspiciously: "Do you think someone is ambushing here?"
Liu Zhongming, another soldier in the vanguard group, said: "Platoon leader, why do I feel that no one has been here since ancient times..." His voice fell, and he stepped on a mechanism, and Liu Zhongming's body flew into the air , was hung upside down on a tree...
Ning Wei pulled the trigger almost at the same time. The submachine gun spit out flames and swept across the fan. Two figures with guns a few meters away were swept down by the rain of bullets. They had already pulled the trigger before they fell down, a string of bullets Da Da shot into the air... Kong Xiaoping's reaction was also very fast. As soon as the gunshot rang out, he immediately hid himself behind a tree and held his gun ready to fire. When Ning Wei's gunfire stopped, he immediately opened fire to attract the opponent's firepower. Then they replaced the clips in a very fast way, and the two used bursts of fire alternately to cover and rushed forward, as if they were one person, and there was a burst of gunshots in the jungle in an instant.
Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, who were walking behind, heard the gunfire and immediately dispersed. The team members dexterously jumped into the jungle and outflanked the past from the two wings... Zhong Yuemin judged from the gunshots of the other party that the number of the other party was not too many. They used What they use is the Soviet-made AK-47 submachine gun, and they are not experienced shooters. Their counterattacks are often bursts of fire, which consumes ammunition and exposes the target. In the face of a well-trained task force, such an opponent is not a cause for concern. .
The battle in the jungle ended in only 3 minutes. The task force's two-wing outflanking tactics caused none of the opponent's 8 people to slip through the net and were all killed.
Zhang Haiyang looked carefully at the documents in the pocket of the dead body, and he said with a smile: "These guys are all soldiers from the local army in the nearby Public Security Village. According to intelligence, this Public Security Station is code-named 408 Outpost, and their ID cards also have the number 408 written on it." , These guys are so brave, they dare to challenge our task force with just a few guns."
In this small-scale exchange of fire, one member of the task force was killed, and Liu Zhongming, who was hung upside down on a tree, was beaten to pieces by the opponent's bullets.At that time, his ankle was bound, and an extremely elastic branch that had been crushed in advance bounced him into the air, exposing him to the opponent's bullets.This kind of mechanism is a method commonly used by residents in jungle areas to hunt animals, and it is hard to guard against. Even a task force trained in jungle warfare will inevitably suffer losses.
Wu Mantun led the combat team in the back to catch up, and the trip mine they set up rang after they walked 1 kilometer.In this way, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang's judgment just now was correct, and this group of enemies may have counted on them long ago.
Zhong Yuemin patted Ning Wei on the shoulder approvingly: "Good job, quick response, quick shot, you can kill two at once, I will give you credit when I go back."
Ning Wei said disdainfully: "Company commander, these are just a few militia groups and security groups, and they will lose their position."
As soon as the task force boarded Shuangfeng Mountain, they heard the sound of artillery on the northern border.It is condescending here, with a wide field of vision, and the sky is full of orange-red ballistics.Everyone recognizes that the orange-red trails are 152mm howitzer shells, and the incandescent ones are 130mm rocket shells. The densely packed shells swept across the sky and fell into deep areas, blasting into a sea of flames, billowing thick The sky was covered with smoke, and the sound of cannonballs was like thunder rolling by.
Zhang Haiyang stopped and looked at his watch and said, "The general offensive has begun."
A soldier said: "Good guy, how many cannons are needed, the sound of the cannons is so dense that you can't hear it at all."
Zhong Yuemin looked back, without stopping, he urged: "Hurry up and hurry, we have our own work to do, we are going down the mountain, all groups should pay attention to safety."
Zhang Haiyang quickly found the location of the task force on the map, he calculated and said: "It's almost there, there are still 10 kilometers, but this is a straight-line distance."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Nonsense..."
The engine of the tank roared deafeningly, the body of the tank was violently bumping, and the misty morning fog covered the glass cover of the periscope with a layer of water vapor, making it difficult to observe from the outside.Yuan Jun ordered all the commanders of the whole company to lean out of the turrets to dispatch the tanks, and the chaotic formation could be controlled.He knew it was a risky move, since each commander was a potential target for the opposing sniper, but it was even more dangerous not to.The tank group was marching on the steep and winding mountain roads, some of which were less than two meters wide. There have been several dangerous situations, and some tanks almost slipped into the mountain stream.
The trees on both sides of the mountain road are getting denser, and the branches are sweeping on the turret of the tank. The infantry on the tank are miserable. They have to hold the handrail of the turret with one hand, or they will be thrown off the vehicle and crushed. In order to die, the other hand should hold the submachine gun, with the index finger on the trigger at all times, ready to fire at any suspicious targets.The thick branches cut across the faces of the infantrymen like sharp knives, and everyone's face was bloody.Yuan Jun's tank carried 4 infantrymen, and an infantry squad leader ordered the soldiers to be tied to the turret armrest with backpack straps, so as to free up their hands to block the constantly sweeping branches.
Yuan Jun's heart moved, and he faintly felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but he didn't say anything when he saw the distressed appearance of the infantry, and besides, these infantry were not under his command.
Yuan Jun's tank regiment arrived in the war zone a month ago. At that time, he had already received an order to study at the Armored Forces Command Academy, his gear was ready, and the work in the company was handed over.At this time, the regiment received an order to go to the war zone, and the whole regiment immediately prepared for the battle. Yuan Jun felt that if he left now, it would hurt his face, and others would think that he was afraid of death. I have to let it go, otherwise I won't be able to lead troops when I come back later.
Yuan Jun kept looking around with binoculars, but looking was useless because there were forests and thatch taller than a person everywhere.He thought worriedly, if the other party lays an ambush here, even if it is a platoon, it will be troublesome enough.Groups of tanks gallop across the plains, as if entering no one's land, but encountering this kind of terrain is considered a disaster, two rocket launchers can kill a company of your tanks, and you can only be beaten.Yuan Jun thought angrily, how did the staff of the headquarters formulate the battle plan?It was a mess from the beginning of the general offensive. The troops usually lacked training. At this time, all the defects were exposed. The coordination of infantry and tanks was chaotic.According to the tactical requirements of infantry and tank coordination, at this time infantry should search and advance on both sides of the road and in front to ensure the safety of the tank column.Yuan Jun knew it was useless to complain now, who made himself a small company commander.
The mountain road began to turn, and the tank column followed the mountain and turned to a narrow road on the cliff. The voice of the battalion commander came from the headset: "2013, there is a mountain pass ahead, rush over at full speed."
Yuan Jun shouted into the microphone: "Battalion Commander, should we send infantry to search first before passing?"
The battalion commander's voice was very impatient: "It's too late, our time is limited. Company Commander Yuan, are you afraid?"
"Battalion Commander, what do I have to be afraid of? This time I took the initiative to ask to join the battle, and it's not like you don't know."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go for me..."
The tank continued to increase its horsepower and rushed towards the mountain pass, the sound of the engine and the rattling of the tracks rang together.Yuan Jun put his eyes on the periscope, vigilantly observing the movement ahead.Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, and there was a violent explosion. The cliff on the left side of the mountain road collapsed, and dozens of tons of rocks poured down, blocking the way...
"It's broken, there is an ambush among us..." Yuan Jun's voice fell, and the No. 1 vehicle walking in the front was hit by two anti-tank shells at the same time. Throwing it high into the air, thick smoke and flames rose into the air.At the same time as the explosion, the dense machine gun fire on the left side of the road swept over like a gust of wind, and hit Yuan Jun's tank armor, making a clanging sound. Before the four infantrymen in the tank had time to fight back, they were beaten to pieces...
Yuan Jun shouted: "Attention all cars, fire on the left side of the road, No. 4 car, knock over No. 1 car and the rock for me, and rush over!"
The gunners of each vehicle shook the steering gear to turn the turret. Only then did they realize that the rocks and trees on both sides of the road blocked the gun barrel. The enemy had already thought of this, and they chose this ambush point in a planned way.At this time there was another explosion, and the No. 6 car that was walking at the end was also hit and caught fire... Yuan Jun felt the fire hit his head at this time, and his father and mother cursed in his mouth, leaned out of the turret, and pulled it over. The anti-aircraft machine guns swept towards the opponent's firepower point. A string of 12.7 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun bullets mixed with tracer bullets formed a silver trajectory dancing wildly in the air. The anti-aircraft machine guns and parallel machine guns of each vehicle fired, and the fierce firepower suppressed Overwhelmed the opponent's firepower.The surviving infantry also jumped out of the car and opened fire with submachine guns. Yuan Jun shouted: "What are you eating? Go up to me and destroy the enemy's firepower!"
An infantry soldier fought back and shouted: "Comrade company commander, our platoon leader is dead."
Yuan Jun immediately realized that after the initial fire attack, these infantrymen were leaderless.The situation is extremely urgent. If the tank column is blocked for one minute, the danger will increase. This is the dead zone for the tanks. The anti-tank gunners of the opponent will calmly hit the tanks one by one. Cold sweat broke out on Yuan Jun's head. Without thinking too much, he shouted into the microphone: "The commanders of each vehicle use machine guns to cover, and the rest of the crew get out of the vehicle with weapons and follow me to destroy the enemy's firepower!" He jumped out of the tank with his submachine gun and rushed up the mountain first. , the tankers of each vehicle also grabbed their submachine guns and grenades and jumped out of the tanks one after another. Seeing that there was an officer commanding them, the infantry also shook their spirits and rushed towards the mountain shouting...
Before the war started, Yuan Jun had the idea of making contributions, but just now, he witnessed the tragic scene of the tanks in his company being destroyed and the infantry flying all over the place. After seeing the blood and fire, he usually pays attention to His reputation has long been replaced by rage, and the aggressive and ruthless habits of his youth burst out after years of silence, and he wants to rush forward and tear those bastards to pieces.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the remaining 7 tanks in the whole company were firing fiercely. The sound of the large-caliber machine guns was deafening, and a large group of bluish-white flames spewed out from the muzzles. The enemy's positions were beaten up in dense bullet rain . Yu Deming, the commander of the No. 5 car, pushed the machine gun, jumped out of the tank with a grenade in his hand, blew down the tree blocking the gun barrel, and returned to the cockpit to shake the steering machine to aim the gun at the enemy's position. The flames flashed, and a blast came out of the chamber, and a 75mm anti-tank gun of the enemy army flew into the sky amidst the explosion.
Yuan Jun led the infantry and tankers to rush into the enemy's anti-tank positions against the rain of bullets like locusts. The submachine guns fired at close range and the grenades flew across.Yuan Jun threw away the submachine gun with the red barrel in his hand, kicked away the dead enemy machine gunner, picked up the light machine gun and screamed and slammed at the remaining enemy soldiers... The battle lasted for 5 minutes. An anti-tank mixed formation was all wiped out.
When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they saw Company Commander Yuan with red eyes, walking around like a wolf with a machine gun in his hand, as if he was still looking for something...
At 12:4 noon, Zhong Yuemin's contingent went through untold hardships and finally arrived at a small high ground near the No. 4 bridge.Zhong Yuemin, Wu Mantun, and Zhang Haiyang all raised their binoculars to carefully observe the architectural structure of No. 100 Bridge.They were disappointed to find that it was an unremarkable small bridge with a steel frame structure. The bridge was no more than 6 meters long and 8 meters wide. The highest pier in the middle was no more than 10 meters. The bridge deck was about [-] meters above the water.Although this bridge is inconspicuous, it is the only passage leading to City G. Once it is cut off, a large number of mechanized troops and heavy equipment will not be able to drive to City G.
Zhong Yuemin's point of view stopped at a concrete blockhouse in the south of the bridge. This blockhouse was very large, with shooting holes facing the north bank. From a structural point of view, there may be an underground part, which is more than enough for a reinforced platoon.According to intelligence, the garrison of Bridge No. 4 is a reinforced platoon, and explosives have been installed under the bridge. If the situation is urgent, the enemy will immediately blow up the bridge.Zhong Yuemin estimated that the reason why they haven't blown up the bridge yet is because there are still troops and heavy equipment on the north bank that haven't been withdrawn yet.
Wu Mantun and Zhang Haiyang's viewpoint stayed on the pier in the middle, and stacks of grass-green TNT explosive boxes could be clearly seen through the binoculars. It seemed that the detonating device of the explosive should be in the bunker on the south bank.Zhang Haiyang believed that if he went around to the south bank and approached the bunker secretly, and killed the defenders in the bunker by surprise, the bridge would be within his reach.
Zhong Yuemin disagreed with this method of attack. He believed that the target of the task force was the bridge, not the bunker. If they failed to raid the bunker, any enemy soldier might press the detonator, and the bridge would be destroyed. What's the use of taking down the bunker?
Wu Mantun also thought that what Zhong Yuemin said made sense, he interjected: "You must cut the wire of the detonator first, and then you can hit the bunker."
Zhang Haiyang said, "How about doing it on both sides at the same time?"
Zhong Yuemin said: "No, you must cut the wire first before the South Bank can start. It only takes one second to press the detonator. We can't afford to bet on it."
Wu Mantun volunteered and said: "I led a team to launch from the north bank, climb up the steel girder under the bridge, approach the explosive box from the steel girder, cut off the wires and immediately shoot and kill the sentries at the bridge head on the north bank. .”
Zhong Yuemin looked at his watch and said, "That's it. There is still an hour before the scheduled time. If the tank regiment advances smoothly, it may arrive early. We can't delay for a minute, and we will act immediately."
The task force was divided into two groups. Zhong Yuemin led the team to swim across the river a few hundred meters upstream, using the cover of bushes to quickly approach the entrance on the back of the bunker. Ning Wei tied four grenades with his backpack straps and unscrewed them all. The cover, pulled out the fuse...
Wu Mantun led two soldiers into the water 100 meters upstream from the north bank, and dived under the bridge under the eyes of the sentinels on the north bank. Wu Mantun ordered the two soldiers to cover under the bridge. Move a little bit on the beam.Doing this kind of work is his strong point, and he only took 50 minutes for a distance of 2 meters.After approaching the explosive box, he took a closer look, and found that the explosives were placed professionally, and the amount of explosives was obviously carefully calculated. In order to prevent accidents, two sets of electric detonators were placed, and the wires were also divided into two groups, leading to the bridge south, bridge north.It seems that not only the detonators were placed in the bunkers on the south bank, but also on the enemy posts on the north bank.Wu Mantun cut off the two sets of wires with a dagger, and for the sake of caution, he pulled out the two sets of detonators from the explosive box before sending out a signal to the soldiers serving as cover.Sun Zhiping, the second squad leader, left the bridge pier downstream in a backstroke position, his pistol facing the sky, and was in a ready state. The two enemy sentries standing at the bridge head on the north bank did not find anyone in the river.Sun Zhiping called out cordially: "Hi, buddy..." The two sentries turned around quickly, Sun Zhiping shot twice, and the two bullets accurately shot into the eyebrows of the two sentries, and the two sentries fell to the ground in response. fall.
Ning Wei, who was guarding behind the bunker on the south bank, heard the gunshots and reacted almost simultaneously. He jumped out of the bushes like lightning, and rushed towards the entrance of the bunker through an open field of more than ten meters. The enemy's reaction speed was not slow. They Immediately, a violent rain of machine gun bullets was fired towards the shooting hole on the north bank, and the bullet rain covered the bridge deck in an instant. Two enemy soldiers with submachine guns had just got out of the bunker. Two enemy soldiers fell on their backs.Ning Wei raised his left hand and threw the cluster grenade into the bunker like a shot put 5 meters away from the entrance of the bunker. Smoke and flames flew out of some human body stumps, and several soldiers rushed into the bunker. The inside of the bunker was horrific. All the defenders of a squad were killed, and the walls and ceiling were covered with pieces of bombed flesh.
Ning Wei spread his hands and said to Zhong Yuemin: "Company Commander, this is the end? It's too boring."
Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang also felt that the battle went too smoothly. The bridge changed hands without losing a single person. They always felt that something was wrong.According to intelligence, there should be a reinforced platoon of garrison troops on this bridge, but now there are only a dozen corpses, at most one squad, so where did the rest go?This idea flashed in the minds of the two of them, but they didn't bother to think about it because there were still many things to do.
Zhang Haiyang was busy on the phone with Qianzhi and reported the situation here. The leaders of Qianzhi were very excited and repeatedly said that they would give credit to the task force.
Wu Mantun was setting up guards on both sides of the bridge, and sent two combat teams to occupy the 203 highland on the south bank of the bridge. After searching, he found that the enemy had not set up defenses on the 203 highland, which was too abnormal.
Zhong Yuemin didn't say a word for a long time after receiving the report. It stands to reason that so far, all tasks of the task force have been completed, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart. He always felt that everything seemed to go too smoothly.He once again raised the binoculars to look around carefully, and his point of view stopped on a small plateau on the east side of the bridge.This highland is marked on the map as 210 meters above sea level and is called 210 highland.According to the information we have, there is no enemy defense on the 210 Heights, and the turbulent river has turned a 210-degree bend in front of the 90 Heights. If you stand on the 210 Heights and observe, the angle of the No. 4 Bridge should be horizontal, and there are piers one by one. Unobstructed views in front of 210 Heights.Zhong Yuemin's heart suddenly moved, a thought flashed like lightning, could the information be wrong?If I were the opponent's commander, how would I deploy defenses?Don't I make a fuss about 210 highlands?Zhong Yuemin suddenly threw away the binoculars and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The first and second combat teams are in charge of guarding the bridge deck, and the rest follow me to occupy the 210 highland..."
However, Zhong Yuemin was still one step too late. At this time, our tank group appeared on the north bank, and several tanks serving as the vanguard had already increased their horsepower and rushed to the bridge.Zhong Yuemin suddenly heard a strange hissing sound in the air. He immediately realized that it was the sound of large-caliber shells piercing the air. A 152mm howitzer shell fell from the sky and landed on the bridge. There was a burst of explosions, the bridge was filled with smoke, and shrapnel flew across the bridge. There was a huge gap in the middle of the No. 4 bridge. The fast-moving tank was hit by artillery fire, ignited a fire, and fell to the 10-meter-high bridge deck. The ammunition inside the tank was ignited, causing a chain explosion...
Zhong Yuemin understood that the opponent's artillery had already calibrated their firepower to attack the various units. There should be an artillery observation post on the 210 high ground. Adjust the ruler to hit the target accurately.The opponent's commander was very smart. He waited for the tanks to drive onto the bridge before giving the order to fire. This is called half crossing strike.What's worse, after destroying the No. 4 bridge, our engineers will definitely build the bridge again, and then the artillery fire will cover the bridge deck again, making you build and destroy repeatedly, so as to prevent our South Group tank group from encircling City G strategic purpose.It seems that if you can't take down the 210 Heights, destroy the damn artillery observation post, not to mention building bridges, even the tank troops parked at the ferry will be very dangerous, because this place is always under the cover of the opponent's artillery fire.
Zhong Yuemin used the telephone to report the situation to the head of the former finger, and proposed to organize another surprise operation.For the first time, Commander Cao personally picked up the microphone and talked to Zhong Yuemin: "Zhong Yuemin, your task force has done a good job, and the new situation is not your responsibility. I agree with your request. You can act now. What's the matter?" No matter what the request is, Qian Zhi will try his best to meet it.”
Zhong Yuemin said: "Thank you, Chief. I only have one request. I need artillery support. I must suppress the enemy's artillery."
"I agree with your request. A self-propelled artillery regiment and an infantry regiment are rushing to the No. 4 bridge ferry. They will arrive soon. I wish you success!"
Of the tank regiment that arrived first, only two tanks crossed the No. 4 bridge, and the rest were separated on the north bank of the river and retreated beyond the range of the opponent's artillery fire.Soldiers of the task force led two tanks across the river to hide behind a huge rock, which was a blind spot for enemy artillery fire.After the two tanks stopped, the canopy was opened with a bang, and the first person to get out of the tank was Liu Jianguo. His face was livid, and he jumped off the tank cursing.Zhong Yuemin greeted him: "Jianguo, it's your fate, are the two tanks shot behind you from your company?"
Liu Jianguo's eyes were as red as a rabbit's eyes, and his facial muscles were also twitching, giving him a vicious look.He opened his mouth and asked viciously: "What the hell did you do, you can't even guarantee the safety of a ferry?"
Zhong Yuemin was also angry: "Open your fucking eyes and see, my mission is to seize the bridge, and now the bridge is in my hands."
Liu Jianguo asked bluntly: "What's the difference between occupying the bridge like this and not occupying it? I reimbursed my two tanks at once, but the bridge was still bombed."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Then you fucking ask Qianzhi, don't complain to me, this battle is not commanded by me. I am a small company commander just like you."
Zhang Haiyang patiently explained to Liu Jianguo what happened just now. Liu Jianguo's anger gradually calmed down. He walked over and patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "Dude, don't be angry with me. Eight brothers were killed in one fell swoop. A tank was scrapped, and I was so fucking angry. It was not easy to come this way, there were not many formal battles, there were enemy ambush points everywhere, and the infantry on board was miserable. We rushed over, and the infantry regiment was left behind , I'm afraid it will take another hour to arrive."
Zhong Yuemin said: "It's okay, the battle is not going well, everyone is very angry, so let's not worry about it. Now we have to destroy the artillery observation post on the 210 Heights, and you take your brothers to take over the ferry for a while." defense."
Liu Jianguo said worriedly: "Just a dozen or so of you? And if you attack from the back, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great. Let's wait for the infantry regiment to come up and fight."
"It's too late. The matter is obvious. If we don't destroy the artillery observation post sooner, we will always be beaten."
Liu Jianguo nodded, turned around and shouted: "Cars No. 3 and No. 5, all crew members are assembled and ready to take over the defense."
Zhong Yuemin shook his hand tightly and said, "Please, wait for our good news."
"Yuemin, you have to be careful. I won't say anything. After the battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink."
Zhong Yuemin picked up the submachine gun and shouted: "Task Force, get ready to fight, all teams come with me..."
(End of this chapter)
Regarding Zhang Haiyang's transfer, both Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun knew it well. It must be because of his father's relationship. I heard that there was a chief in the military department who was his father's old subordinate. A well-intentioned arrangement that goes without saying.It is said that there is a rule that all military officers who are transferred to work in various headquarters agencies in Beijing must have the experience of working in military-level agencies.From this point of view, Zhang Haiyang has already taken the first step of the curve adjustment, and the next step is to move to the Beijing headquarters.Since we are all buddies, there is no need to point out some things at all, and whoever has a way will go, which is not unjust.Besides, friends have a better future, everyone should be happy.
Both Zhang Haiyang and Wu Mantun were very drunk that day. Zhang Haiyang drank 8 taels of Wuliangye that day, and his mouth was already full of tongues. Yes, there is a bit of trouble in the military department, and he will talk to his brothers immediately.Also, after he arrived at the military organization, the first thing he did was to "set magnetism" with the cadres of the political department. Friends in the cadres would not suffer, and the brothers would also have to move to the top in the future.
Zhong Yuemin was not drunk that day. He was not interested in Zhang Haiyang's wish, because he never wanted to be the commander of the army. If you ask for a job change, your superiors will never agree, especially the officers of the reconnaissance unit. It is not easy to train a person, and you will not be easily approved to change jobs.It seems that they can only survive for another two years. At that time, a large number of military school graduates will flood into the army to replace their officers. By then, Zhong Yuemin can pat his ass and leave.
Zhong Yuemin's wishful thinking was wrong, he had just been a company commander for a year, and before he had time to report his career change to his superiors, the war ushered in...
At the beginning of 1979, the southwestern border was covered with war clouds.At this time, not to mention soldiers, even ordinary people can smell the breath of war. The escalating frictions in the border areas filled the air with a strong smell of gunpowder. Zhong Yuemin clearly felt that the war was approaching.
At the beginning of January, large armies gathered in the southwestern border. On the roads in the border area, long columns of tanks rolled up billowing dust and drove rapidly. The howitzers were assembled urgently to the designated area on the road.
Zhong Yuemin's unit was also urgently transferred to the border area. Before the war, all units conducted jungle warfare training.Zhong Yuemin took the soldiers for tactical training in the jungle all day long, while Wu Mantun was busy mobilizing the company before the battle.
One evening, Zhong Yuemin led the soldiers back to the station along the road after training, just in time to meet a tank from the tank regiment passing by on the road. The track of the tank rolled up dust all over the sky, and the roar of the engine was deafening.Zhong Yuemin didn't want to eat the dust, so he quickly ordered the troops to avoid the road.The tankers leaning out of the cockpit jeered loudly at the infantry, and the infantry cursed back, and some soldiers even picked up clods of dirt and threw them at the tankers.
Zhong Yuemin found that Liu Jianguo, his comrade-in-arms when he was in the recruit company, showed half of his body from the tank and was waving to him.Liu Jianguo is also a soldier in Beijing. He joined the army in the same year as Zhong Yuemin, and is now the commander of the second company of the tank regiment.Liu Jianguo jumped out of the car and ran towards Zhong Yuemin, and the two shook hands affectionately.Liu Jianguo said loudly: "Yuemin, we have been soldiers for 10 years and have done exercises. This time, it's time for the real thing. We have to have a good time."
Zhong Yuemin laughed and said: "You are afraid that you will not be able to fight, but you really haven't noticed that you are a war madman."
Liu Jianguo said: "Soldiers are valuable only when there are battles. Otherwise, what is the country doing to support the army? Yuemin, I guess our two units will cooperate in combat this time."
"How do you know? You little company commander, just take care of your tanks. You are not the one who made the battle plan."
Liu Jianguo lowered his voice and said, "A buddy of mine was a combat staff officer in front of me, and the information is absolutely reliable. Our army's combat policy is: limited time, limited depth, concentration of superior forces, roundabout encirclement, quick battle and quick decision, and quick return of the enemy." The direction of our regiment's assault is City G. I studied the map and found that there are several bridges and passes on our attack route. I guess this should be the work of your reconnaissance battalion. According to the traditional style of our army, you reconnaissance The detachment will be inserted in place in advance to seize the bridge and the pass to clear the way for the tank group."
Zhong Yuemin said: "All the work is done by us, why do you go? If you are capable of fighting over by yourself, aren't your tank soldiers very good during the exercise? You can still fight through without the cover of our infantry."
"Brother, go and look at the map. The terrain is too complicated. It's a typical subtropical mountain jungle area. When encountering this kind of terrain, tanks can't play well. We can't even start a battle formation. Without infantry cover, we will die. deal."
Zhong Yuemin gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "You still have today? Are you stupid this time? How about this? Before the battle, you treat my brothers to a drink, and we will do this job well, or else, you can fight it yourself. Let's go to G City."
"Well, if we're both alive after the war, I'll buy you a drink. If my tank gets hit by an armor-piercing bullet, I'll turn into a fucking puff of smoke and go somewhere. Yuemin, I have to go Alright, see you on the battlefield."
Liu Jianguo jumped on the tank and left.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the passing tanks and pondered what Liu Jianguo had said. He suddenly had an impulse in his heart. Before, he never dreamed that he would catch up with the war, but who knew that the war was approaching him all at once.Don't you like to play?This time there is something to play with.
The task of the reconnaissance team was finally issued. It was Commander Cao who personally ordered the generals, and Zhong Yuemin was appointed to lead the team.Because Zhong Yuemin is quite famous in the C Army, even the intelligence department of the military region knows him as a small company commander.This operation is of great importance. In order to strengthen the strength of the reconnaissance unit, Zhang Haiyang, the staff officer of the military reconnaissance department, was also sent to Zhong Yuemin's reconnaissance unit as a deputy.
On the day Zhang Haiyang came to report with a backpack on his back, Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mantun expressed gloating.Since this kid was transferred to the military organization, he felt good about himself, and his every move always had the style of a chief. Zhong Yuemin and Wu Mandun thought he was a bit in need of a beating.Wu Mantun ordered the correspondent to pour water and make tea, and welcome the head of the military agency to inspect the work one by one.
Zhong Yuemin took Zhang Haiyang's backpack and jokingly said, "May I ask Staff Officer Zhang sent by the military agency to give us combat missions?"
Zhang Haiyang punched Zhong Yuemin in the chest: "What kind of grandson are you pretending to be? One of you is the task leader and the other is the instructor. I, the vice-captain, am just a slob."
Wu Mantun said: "Hang Hai, you haven't been back to the company since you arrived in the military, have you forgotten your brothers?"
Zhong Yuemin also said: "Yang Haiyang, do you fucking think that you are the chief and don't bother to deal with our grassroots company? This time it's okay, God open his eyes and send you back again. You have to obey orders and obey orders, sir. Put on the airs of the higher authorities."
Zhang Haiyang smiled wryly and said, "I said buddy, what is this for? Seeing that I'm an outsider, what's wrong with bullying people?"
"That's right, we just bully the outsiders. Anyone sent by the superior authority will be a grandson for a few days when they arrive at a three-acre land in the company. threatened.
Wu Mantun said: "Okay, stop chattering, let's get down to business."
Zhang Haiyang became serious. He opened the military map and said, "Okay, let's talk about business first. The situation is like this. Our task is to form a task force to go deep behind the enemy's rear before the war. The specific task is to occupy the No. 203 bridge near Height 4." Please look at the map, the No. 4 bridge is here..." Zhang Haiyang pointed to a point on the map.
Zhong Yuemin looked at the map and calculated it: "Well, the depth of the intersecting is 40 kilometers. This is still a straight line distance. In fact, it is more than 100 kilometers. Look here, the contour lines are densely packed, and the mountains, jungles, cliffs, and rivers are all there. That's enough for us to drink a pot. Ocean, how big is the task force?"
Zhang Haiyang said: "According to the mission, the temporarily formed task force is composed of 24 people, composed of backbones with high technical and tactical levels in the reconnaissance company. The specific list will be jointly drawn up by us."
Wu Mantun said: "Please explain the task in more detail."
"Occupy the No. 4 bridge by means of a surprise attack first, and then control the 203 highlands to prevent the enemy from counterattacking and retaking the bridge. This is the only way for our army to attack G City. A large number of tank troops have to pass through the bridge. One thing I think I would like to remind everyone that the enemy will definitely plant explosives under the bridge, and if they discover our attempt to seize the bridge, they will blow up the bridge immediately, so that our previous efforts will be wasted."
Zhong Yuemin looked at the map and said, "Haiyang, is the information accurate? I think there is something wrong here."
"What do you think."
"It's no problem to occupy the bridge by surprise. The key is the speed of crossing. The route we are going to take is already terrible enough from the map. In actual crossing, I am afraid that there will be many unimaginable problems. Who can guarantee the time? What? It is very likely that we have not rushed to the bridge, but the tank troops have already arrived. If the enemy blows up the bridge in advance, then the tank troops will be in a dilemma, and they will become a living target for the opponent's artillery. Also, even if we successfully capture The bridge may not be able to guarantee the safety of the bridge, because we are within the range of the opponent's artillery fire, such an important target, the opponent must have already calibrated their firepower to attack Zhu Yuan, once the artillery fire covers it, the bridge will still not be able to hold."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Okay, Yuemin, you have a good brain, make sense, and make sense. I will definitely report your thoughts to the forward, but I guess it will be of little use, because we are just a part of the whole battle pattern." A small chess piece, at most, can be regarded as a pawn crossing the boundary river, and people's attention is all on the horses and guns."
Zhong Yuemin was in a hurry: "That's stupid. They don't understand the essence of special operations. Sometimes the success or failure of an entire battle depends on a bridge. Do you want to hear a battle case? Let me tell you..."
"Okay, buddy, don't give me a class, talk to the commander if you have the ability, but the commander has already gone to the military region for a meeting, let's prepare to carry out the mission."
The task force composed of the first reconnaissance company had broken away from the formation of the reconnaissance battalion before the war, and was directly commanded by the former finger. In the tent of the task force, the task force members were nervously packing and checking their equipment.
A soldier is sharpening a dagger on a whetstone, testing the sharpness of the blade with his thumb from time to time, and two soldiers are pressing bullets into the magazines of Type 56 submachine guns.
Ning Wei, the acting platoon leader in the first row, was packing his rucksacks, putting ropes, hooks and other equipment into the rucksacks.
Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, and Wu Mantun were checking the equipment of the soldiers one by one.
Zhong Yuemin said to Ning Wei: "First platoon leader, you seem to have overdue your service for two years, right?"
Ning Wei said: "Company commander, you should call the acting platoon leader. I have overdue my service for 3 years."
Wu Mantun said: "Ning Wei, you are not very lucky. A few years ago, you were approved when you were promoted, but now it is getting more and more difficult. The company has reported to you three times. It is estimated that this time the war will be over. You can get rid of the word 'agent', and it would be even better if you can make a contribution."
"Don't worry, instructor, I will do a good job."
Zhang Haiyang said: "Instructor Wu, when do you plan to mobilize before the battle? This is your job."
"Tonight, I'm ready."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Man Tun, how about giving the brothers a holiday tonight? We should also go for a drink."
"Then this pre-war mobilization—"
Zhong Yuemin said: "This is not easy to handle, I will help you to do this job now." He shouted, "Task Force, all assemble!"
The task force members quickly stand in line and wait for the captain's pre-war mobilization.
Zhong Yuemin inspected all the team members from left to right and said: "Brothers, I don't need to say that you know that we are going to fight soon. Before we set off, I would like to ask everyone, is there anyone who is afraid of death?"
The team members yelled: "No!"
"Hmph, that's what I said, I still don't quite believe it, none of us have been on the battlefield, how do I know if you are afraid of death, so I have to say it up front, if anyone is afraid of death, it's not too late to say it, At best, I will send you to a court-martial, but your life can be saved. If you don’t say it now, and you regret it when you go to the battlefield, then I’m sorry. So, today I will take the place of the instructor to fight Before the mobilization, the central issue was: awareness and psychological preparation for death. My question is, what would happen if you were hit by a 7.62mm bullet?"
Ning Wei smiled and said: "Company Commander, this is a pediatric question, I will answer it, the bullet will drill a hole in my body..."
"Well, that's true, but it's an understatement. There is a discipline called trauma ballistics, which studies what happens when a bullet hits the human body. Let me describe it to you. First, the bullet will hit the front of the body at a speed of 850 meters per second. A small opening less than 1 cm in diameter is left on the skin at the point of injection, and the huge shock wave formed when the bullet passes through the body will shock the internal organs, and then pass through the human body at a speed of 570 meters per second. The wound will reach a diameter of more than 12 centimeters, and if it hits the head, the wound will be even more terrifying, it will blow off 1/3 of your skull..."
The soldiers listened quietly, but no one showed a look of fear. Wu Mantun was a little panicked. What kind of pre-war mobilization is this? Not only can it not boost morale, but it will cause fear to the soldiers. He wants to stop Zhong Yuemin Going on, he hurriedly said: "Company commander, shall we formally mobilize again at night?"
Zhang Haiyang tugged Wu Mantun's sleeve quietly to signal him to listen, but Wu Mantun fell silent.
Zhong Yuemin continued: "If this bullet happens to hit your artery, then under the powerful pressure of 83.3 milliliters of blood pumped by the heart per second, the blood can be ejected to a place 10 meters away. In just a few seconds, the bleeding The volume will reach 1000ml, and a person who was alive and kicking a few seconds ago will immediately be on the verge of death. At this time, your skin is bluish-yellow, and your muscles are loose, including the sphincter - your bladder and bowels will be incontinent, and your body surface will quickly When it gets colder, the originally healthy and elastic human body feels like meat on the chopping board..."
Zhao Dongsheng, the leader of the fifth class, was a little annoyed. He felt that the company commander was scaring the children, but he made a mistake. This is not a kindergarten, and the brothers are not preschool children. Who are you scaring?You, Zhong Yuemin, personally selected this task force. If you don't trust us, you can find someone else.He felt compelled to remind the company commander that he was dealing with a bunch of dudes, not preschoolers or pussies.Zhao Dongsheng coughed impatiently: "Commander, I have something to say and I don't know if I should say it or not."
"speak!"
"You don't seem to be a childcare worker in a kindergarten, nor a party representative of a women's army company, and we are neither preschoolers nor women, have you made a mistake? Company commander, I want to remind you that you are You're dealing with a bunch of dudes, and you're supposed to talk to your brethren as you would talk to men."
"Oh, I'm dealing with a bunch of dudes? Thanks for reminding me, I didn't remember..."
"What are you talking about..." Class [-] monitor Zhao Dongsheng muttered dissatisfiedly.
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Isn't it just 7.62mm caliber? If the company commander wants to scare people, he might as well use a larger caliber thing. For example, for a 12.7mm caliber high-speed machine bullet, the entrance of the light bullet must be greater than 3 cm, and the exit must be greater than 20 cm. You can catch up with anything on the battlefield. Maybe a 152mm howitzer shell falls directly on your ass, then you are no longer meat on the chopping board, but may become meat for dumplings Xiao, if you catch up, it’s like winning the jackpot. Company commander, you have something to say, don’t scare us, you want to see us pee your pants, don’t you?”
Zhong Yuemin also smiled: "Okay, I know what death is all about, so I won't take vaccinations anymore. What I want to tell everyone is that we are all soldiers, and when we wear this uniform, we should Be mentally prepared to die on the battlefield one day in the future. My pre-war mobilization is not rational. I just want to remind everyone from another angle that this is the spirit of the contract. When we wear military uniforms, it is equivalent to signing a contract with the country. A contract. That is to say, if the world is peaceful, the country will support you; if there is war, you will naturally shed blood and sacrifice. This is your responsibility and obligation, and it is also a contract that you must fulfill. Those who escape the contract No matter what the reason is, even if you are not a liar, you are also a person who lacks credibility. A person can make a living in many ways, but he must never regard being a soldier as a means of making a living. The soldier is not a job to earn a living. Do you understand? ?”
"Understood!" the task force shouted.
Zhong Yuemin laughed, and he changed the subject: "This reminds me of another topic, does a person have a soul, and if so, does the soul really look like what is written in the book? Report to Lord Yan. Okay, Let's take it as real. If I win the jackpot, I will set up a task force. If anyone is willing to sign up, tell me in a while. I will take my brothers to visit the Hall of Yama. Take him to Yan Luodian..."
The task force members yelled "Aww" and applauded wildly: "Company commander, no problem, who have we been afraid of in a row? Take him away..."
"Company Commander, your pre-war mobilization is really fucking uplifting. If I win the lottery, I will go with you, and I will lead the vanguard team..."
Zhang Haiyang also applauded and said: "Count me in, and bring the bazooka, 82, and the king of hell has tanks. Also, don't forget to bring your compressed biscuits, it must be fun."
Ning Wei shouted sincerely: "Company Commander, I admire you, you are the number one desperado in the world."
Wu Mantun hurriedly stopped and said, "Ning Wei, what are you talking about? What desperadoes? We are revolutionary soldiers..."
The task force entered the jungle at midnight. There were 24 members in the team. They were divided into 8 combat groups according to the three-three system principle. The famous Zhong Yuemin absolutely believes in every team member under him.
The jungle in the dark is difficult to walk, and the task force is almost groping forward. Zhong Yuemin uses the compass to correct the direction from time to time. He hopes that the sky will be brighter soon, and the marching speed can only be accelerated after dawn.Fortunately for him, in addition to the ammunition base of 300 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades, each task force also carried a 40mm rocket on their backs.They can maintain good physical strength in such a complex mountain and jungle area with heavy equipment on their backs for several hours. Extraordinary physical fitness.
The morning finally came, and the scenery in the field of vision gradually became clear. The jungle was filled with a faint morning mist. The team walked in a piece of wormwood and bushes. The green grass was dotted with small red and yellow flowers, and its petals spread out like a tray. , with bright yellow stamens exposed in the middle.Zhong Yuemin also found that there are slender spinosas growing here and there. He knew this kind of fern from the "Field Survival Textbook". Ready to eat".
Zhong Yuemin raised his binoculars to observe the opposite mountain. This mountain is hump-shaped, with a saddle between the two peaks, and gray-white rocks occasionally appear on the lush mountain.Zhong Yuemin watched for a long time, and for some reason, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
Ning Wei, who served as a vanguard, approached Zhong Yuemin and said in a low voice: "Company commander, just now I saw a bright spot flashing on the opposite mountain, but it disappeared when I looked closely. It is on the side facing the light. I guess it is the reflection of the telescope." .”
Zhong Yuemin immediately became alert: "Oh, did you see clearly?"
"That's right, it just flashed. Are there any reflective objects in the jungle?"
Zhong Yuemin gave an order: "The whole team is ready to fight. Once the vanguard team finds out the situation, they will fire at the enemy first. Remember, don't love to fight, just rush over."
Ning Wei released the safety of the submachine gun and led the vanguard group into the jungle.
Zhang Haiyang put away the telescope and said to Zhong Yuemin: "If the light spot Ning Wei saw was the reflection of the telescope, then there is only one conclusion, we are being followed from a long distance."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Interesting, and we played together. A platoon leader, set a few trip mines on our way, let's play with him."
A platoon leader agreed to lead two soldiers to lay mines.
The task force launched a battle formation to search and advance. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang walked in the middle of the team, and Wu Mandun walked at the end with the cover team at the back.
Ning Wei, who led the vanguard team, found that the surrounding jungle has gradually turned into a primary secondary forest, with fewer and fewer bushes, tall trees above his head, and kudzu vines and thorns under his feet. The thorny wild vines caught the legs.The forest is thick and dense, and the bright sunlight can't penetrate through the luxuriant branches and leaves, only a few spots of light occasionally see through the mesh formed by the branches and leaves.The leaves that have accumulated under the tree for many years are soft, and when you step on it, you will splash a puddle of black and smelly water that emits a rotten smell.A net-shaped aerial root hangs from a big tree in front of me, and the aerial root is swaying slightly, like rows of nooses. It seems that there is no jungle in front of it, but an endless tunnel that is so green and black.
Ning Wei leaned close to the second squad leader Kong Xiaoping's ear and whispered: "I bet you, if the enemy plans to play tricks on us, this is the most suitable place."
Sun Xiaoping said suspiciously: "Do you think someone is ambushing here?"
Liu Zhongming, another soldier in the vanguard group, said: "Platoon leader, why do I feel that no one has been here since ancient times..." His voice fell, and he stepped on a mechanism, and Liu Zhongming's body flew into the air , was hung upside down on a tree...
Ning Wei pulled the trigger almost at the same time. The submachine gun spit out flames and swept across the fan. Two figures with guns a few meters away were swept down by the rain of bullets. They had already pulled the trigger before they fell down, a string of bullets Da Da shot into the air... Kong Xiaoping's reaction was also very fast. As soon as the gunshot rang out, he immediately hid himself behind a tree and held his gun ready to fire. When Ning Wei's gunfire stopped, he immediately opened fire to attract the opponent's firepower. Then they replaced the clips in a very fast way, and the two used bursts of fire alternately to cover and rushed forward, as if they were one person, and there was a burst of gunshots in the jungle in an instant.
Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, who were walking behind, heard the gunfire and immediately dispersed. The team members dexterously jumped into the jungle and outflanked the past from the two wings... Zhong Yuemin judged from the gunshots of the other party that the number of the other party was not too many. They used What they use is the Soviet-made AK-47 submachine gun, and they are not experienced shooters. Their counterattacks are often bursts of fire, which consumes ammunition and exposes the target. In the face of a well-trained task force, such an opponent is not a cause for concern. .
The battle in the jungle ended in only 3 minutes. The task force's two-wing outflanking tactics caused none of the opponent's 8 people to slip through the net and were all killed.
Zhang Haiyang looked carefully at the documents in the pocket of the dead body, and he said with a smile: "These guys are all soldiers from the local army in the nearby Public Security Village. According to intelligence, this Public Security Station is code-named 408 Outpost, and their ID cards also have the number 408 written on it." , These guys are so brave, they dare to challenge our task force with just a few guns."
In this small-scale exchange of fire, one member of the task force was killed, and Liu Zhongming, who was hung upside down on a tree, was beaten to pieces by the opponent's bullets.At that time, his ankle was bound, and an extremely elastic branch that had been crushed in advance bounced him into the air, exposing him to the opponent's bullets.This kind of mechanism is a method commonly used by residents in jungle areas to hunt animals, and it is hard to guard against. Even a task force trained in jungle warfare will inevitably suffer losses.
Wu Mantun led the combat team in the back to catch up, and the trip mine they set up rang after they walked 1 kilometer.In this way, Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang's judgment just now was correct, and this group of enemies may have counted on them long ago.
Zhong Yuemin patted Ning Wei on the shoulder approvingly: "Good job, quick response, quick shot, you can kill two at once, I will give you credit when I go back."
Ning Wei said disdainfully: "Company commander, these are just a few militia groups and security groups, and they will lose their position."
As soon as the task force boarded Shuangfeng Mountain, they heard the sound of artillery on the northern border.It is condescending here, with a wide field of vision, and the sky is full of orange-red ballistics.Everyone recognizes that the orange-red trails are 152mm howitzer shells, and the incandescent ones are 130mm rocket shells. The densely packed shells swept across the sky and fell into deep areas, blasting into a sea of flames, billowing thick The sky was covered with smoke, and the sound of cannonballs was like thunder rolling by.
Zhang Haiyang stopped and looked at his watch and said, "The general offensive has begun."
A soldier said: "Good guy, how many cannons are needed, the sound of the cannons is so dense that you can't hear it at all."
Zhong Yuemin looked back, without stopping, he urged: "Hurry up and hurry, we have our own work to do, we are going down the mountain, all groups should pay attention to safety."
Zhang Haiyang quickly found the location of the task force on the map, he calculated and said: "It's almost there, there are still 10 kilometers, but this is a straight-line distance."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Nonsense..."
The engine of the tank roared deafeningly, the body of the tank was violently bumping, and the misty morning fog covered the glass cover of the periscope with a layer of water vapor, making it difficult to observe from the outside.Yuan Jun ordered all the commanders of the whole company to lean out of the turrets to dispatch the tanks, and the chaotic formation could be controlled.He knew it was a risky move, since each commander was a potential target for the opposing sniper, but it was even more dangerous not to.The tank group was marching on the steep and winding mountain roads, some of which were less than two meters wide. There have been several dangerous situations, and some tanks almost slipped into the mountain stream.
The trees on both sides of the mountain road are getting denser, and the branches are sweeping on the turret of the tank. The infantry on the tank are miserable. They have to hold the handrail of the turret with one hand, or they will be thrown off the vehicle and crushed. In order to die, the other hand should hold the submachine gun, with the index finger on the trigger at all times, ready to fire at any suspicious targets.The thick branches cut across the faces of the infantrymen like sharp knives, and everyone's face was bloody.Yuan Jun's tank carried 4 infantrymen, and an infantry squad leader ordered the soldiers to be tied to the turret armrest with backpack straps, so as to free up their hands to block the constantly sweeping branches.
Yuan Jun's heart moved, and he faintly felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but he didn't say anything when he saw the distressed appearance of the infantry, and besides, these infantry were not under his command.
Yuan Jun's tank regiment arrived in the war zone a month ago. At that time, he had already received an order to study at the Armored Forces Command Academy, his gear was ready, and the work in the company was handed over.At this time, the regiment received an order to go to the war zone, and the whole regiment immediately prepared for the battle. Yuan Jun felt that if he left now, it would hurt his face, and others would think that he was afraid of death. I have to let it go, otherwise I won't be able to lead troops when I come back later.
Yuan Jun kept looking around with binoculars, but looking was useless because there were forests and thatch taller than a person everywhere.He thought worriedly, if the other party lays an ambush here, even if it is a platoon, it will be troublesome enough.Groups of tanks gallop across the plains, as if entering no one's land, but encountering this kind of terrain is considered a disaster, two rocket launchers can kill a company of your tanks, and you can only be beaten.Yuan Jun thought angrily, how did the staff of the headquarters formulate the battle plan?It was a mess from the beginning of the general offensive. The troops usually lacked training. At this time, all the defects were exposed. The coordination of infantry and tanks was chaotic.According to the tactical requirements of infantry and tank coordination, at this time infantry should search and advance on both sides of the road and in front to ensure the safety of the tank column.Yuan Jun knew it was useless to complain now, who made himself a small company commander.
The mountain road began to turn, and the tank column followed the mountain and turned to a narrow road on the cliff. The voice of the battalion commander came from the headset: "2013, there is a mountain pass ahead, rush over at full speed."
Yuan Jun shouted into the microphone: "Battalion Commander, should we send infantry to search first before passing?"
The battalion commander's voice was very impatient: "It's too late, our time is limited. Company Commander Yuan, are you afraid?"
"Battalion Commander, what do I have to be afraid of? This time I took the initiative to ask to join the battle, and it's not like you don't know."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go for me..."
The tank continued to increase its horsepower and rushed towards the mountain pass, the sound of the engine and the rattling of the tracks rang together.Yuan Jun put his eyes on the periscope, vigilantly observing the movement ahead.Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, and there was a violent explosion. The cliff on the left side of the mountain road collapsed, and dozens of tons of rocks poured down, blocking the way...
"It's broken, there is an ambush among us..." Yuan Jun's voice fell, and the No. 1 vehicle walking in the front was hit by two anti-tank shells at the same time. Throwing it high into the air, thick smoke and flames rose into the air.At the same time as the explosion, the dense machine gun fire on the left side of the road swept over like a gust of wind, and hit Yuan Jun's tank armor, making a clanging sound. Before the four infantrymen in the tank had time to fight back, they were beaten to pieces...
Yuan Jun shouted: "Attention all cars, fire on the left side of the road, No. 4 car, knock over No. 1 car and the rock for me, and rush over!"
The gunners of each vehicle shook the steering gear to turn the turret. Only then did they realize that the rocks and trees on both sides of the road blocked the gun barrel. The enemy had already thought of this, and they chose this ambush point in a planned way.At this time there was another explosion, and the No. 6 car that was walking at the end was also hit and caught fire... Yuan Jun felt the fire hit his head at this time, and his father and mother cursed in his mouth, leaned out of the turret, and pulled it over. The anti-aircraft machine guns swept towards the opponent's firepower point. A string of 12.7 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun bullets mixed with tracer bullets formed a silver trajectory dancing wildly in the air. The anti-aircraft machine guns and parallel machine guns of each vehicle fired, and the fierce firepower suppressed Overwhelmed the opponent's firepower.The surviving infantry also jumped out of the car and opened fire with submachine guns. Yuan Jun shouted: "What are you eating? Go up to me and destroy the enemy's firepower!"
An infantry soldier fought back and shouted: "Comrade company commander, our platoon leader is dead."
Yuan Jun immediately realized that after the initial fire attack, these infantrymen were leaderless.The situation is extremely urgent. If the tank column is blocked for one minute, the danger will increase. This is the dead zone for the tanks. The anti-tank gunners of the opponent will calmly hit the tanks one by one. Cold sweat broke out on Yuan Jun's head. Without thinking too much, he shouted into the microphone: "The commanders of each vehicle use machine guns to cover, and the rest of the crew get out of the vehicle with weapons and follow me to destroy the enemy's firepower!" He jumped out of the tank with his submachine gun and rushed up the mountain first. , the tankers of each vehicle also grabbed their submachine guns and grenades and jumped out of the tanks one after another. Seeing that there was an officer commanding them, the infantry also shook their spirits and rushed towards the mountain shouting...
Before the war started, Yuan Jun had the idea of making contributions, but just now, he witnessed the tragic scene of the tanks in his company being destroyed and the infantry flying all over the place. After seeing the blood and fire, he usually pays attention to His reputation has long been replaced by rage, and the aggressive and ruthless habits of his youth burst out after years of silence, and he wants to rush forward and tear those bastards to pieces.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the remaining 7 tanks in the whole company were firing fiercely. The sound of the large-caliber machine guns was deafening, and a large group of bluish-white flames spewed out from the muzzles. The enemy's positions were beaten up in dense bullet rain . Yu Deming, the commander of the No. 5 car, pushed the machine gun, jumped out of the tank with a grenade in his hand, blew down the tree blocking the gun barrel, and returned to the cockpit to shake the steering machine to aim the gun at the enemy's position. The flames flashed, and a blast came out of the chamber, and a 75mm anti-tank gun of the enemy army flew into the sky amidst the explosion.
Yuan Jun led the infantry and tankers to rush into the enemy's anti-tank positions against the rain of bullets like locusts. The submachine guns fired at close range and the grenades flew across.Yuan Jun threw away the submachine gun with the red barrel in his hand, kicked away the dead enemy machine gunner, picked up the light machine gun and screamed and slammed at the remaining enemy soldiers... The battle lasted for 5 minutes. An anti-tank mixed formation was all wiped out.
When the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they saw Company Commander Yuan with red eyes, walking around like a wolf with a machine gun in his hand, as if he was still looking for something...
At 12:4 noon, Zhong Yuemin's contingent went through untold hardships and finally arrived at a small high ground near the No. 4 bridge.Zhong Yuemin, Wu Mantun, and Zhang Haiyang all raised their binoculars to carefully observe the architectural structure of No. 100 Bridge.They were disappointed to find that it was an unremarkable small bridge with a steel frame structure. The bridge was no more than 6 meters long and 8 meters wide. The highest pier in the middle was no more than 10 meters. The bridge deck was about [-] meters above the water.Although this bridge is inconspicuous, it is the only passage leading to City G. Once it is cut off, a large number of mechanized troops and heavy equipment will not be able to drive to City G.
Zhong Yuemin's point of view stopped at a concrete blockhouse in the south of the bridge. This blockhouse was very large, with shooting holes facing the north bank. From a structural point of view, there may be an underground part, which is more than enough for a reinforced platoon.According to intelligence, the garrison of Bridge No. 4 is a reinforced platoon, and explosives have been installed under the bridge. If the situation is urgent, the enemy will immediately blow up the bridge.Zhong Yuemin estimated that the reason why they haven't blown up the bridge yet is because there are still troops and heavy equipment on the north bank that haven't been withdrawn yet.
Wu Mantun and Zhang Haiyang's viewpoint stayed on the pier in the middle, and stacks of grass-green TNT explosive boxes could be clearly seen through the binoculars. It seemed that the detonating device of the explosive should be in the bunker on the south bank.Zhang Haiyang believed that if he went around to the south bank and approached the bunker secretly, and killed the defenders in the bunker by surprise, the bridge would be within his reach.
Zhong Yuemin disagreed with this method of attack. He believed that the target of the task force was the bridge, not the bunker. If they failed to raid the bunker, any enemy soldier might press the detonator, and the bridge would be destroyed. What's the use of taking down the bunker?
Wu Mantun also thought that what Zhong Yuemin said made sense, he interjected: "You must cut the wire of the detonator first, and then you can hit the bunker."
Zhang Haiyang said, "How about doing it on both sides at the same time?"
Zhong Yuemin said: "No, you must cut the wire first before the South Bank can start. It only takes one second to press the detonator. We can't afford to bet on it."
Wu Mantun volunteered and said: "I led a team to launch from the north bank, climb up the steel girder under the bridge, approach the explosive box from the steel girder, cut off the wires and immediately shoot and kill the sentries at the bridge head on the north bank. .”
Zhong Yuemin looked at his watch and said, "That's it. There is still an hour before the scheduled time. If the tank regiment advances smoothly, it may arrive early. We can't delay for a minute, and we will act immediately."
The task force was divided into two groups. Zhong Yuemin led the team to swim across the river a few hundred meters upstream, using the cover of bushes to quickly approach the entrance on the back of the bunker. Ning Wei tied four grenades with his backpack straps and unscrewed them all. The cover, pulled out the fuse...
Wu Mantun led two soldiers into the water 100 meters upstream from the north bank, and dived under the bridge under the eyes of the sentinels on the north bank. Wu Mantun ordered the two soldiers to cover under the bridge. Move a little bit on the beam.Doing this kind of work is his strong point, and he only took 50 minutes for a distance of 2 meters.After approaching the explosive box, he took a closer look, and found that the explosives were placed professionally, and the amount of explosives was obviously carefully calculated. In order to prevent accidents, two sets of electric detonators were placed, and the wires were also divided into two groups, leading to the bridge south, bridge north.It seems that not only the detonators were placed in the bunkers on the south bank, but also on the enemy posts on the north bank.Wu Mantun cut off the two sets of wires with a dagger, and for the sake of caution, he pulled out the two sets of detonators from the explosive box before sending out a signal to the soldiers serving as cover.Sun Zhiping, the second squad leader, left the bridge pier downstream in a backstroke position, his pistol facing the sky, and was in a ready state. The two enemy sentries standing at the bridge head on the north bank did not find anyone in the river.Sun Zhiping called out cordially: "Hi, buddy..." The two sentries turned around quickly, Sun Zhiping shot twice, and the two bullets accurately shot into the eyebrows of the two sentries, and the two sentries fell to the ground in response. fall.
Ning Wei, who was guarding behind the bunker on the south bank, heard the gunshots and reacted almost simultaneously. He jumped out of the bushes like lightning, and rushed towards the entrance of the bunker through an open field of more than ten meters. The enemy's reaction speed was not slow. They Immediately, a violent rain of machine gun bullets was fired towards the shooting hole on the north bank, and the bullet rain covered the bridge deck in an instant. Two enemy soldiers with submachine guns had just got out of the bunker. Two enemy soldiers fell on their backs.Ning Wei raised his left hand and threw the cluster grenade into the bunker like a shot put 5 meters away from the entrance of the bunker. Smoke and flames flew out of some human body stumps, and several soldiers rushed into the bunker. The inside of the bunker was horrific. All the defenders of a squad were killed, and the walls and ceiling were covered with pieces of bombed flesh.
Ning Wei spread his hands and said to Zhong Yuemin: "Company Commander, this is the end? It's too boring."
Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang also felt that the battle went too smoothly. The bridge changed hands without losing a single person. They always felt that something was wrong.According to intelligence, there should be a reinforced platoon of garrison troops on this bridge, but now there are only a dozen corpses, at most one squad, so where did the rest go?This idea flashed in the minds of the two of them, but they didn't bother to think about it because there were still many things to do.
Zhang Haiyang was busy on the phone with Qianzhi and reported the situation here. The leaders of Qianzhi were very excited and repeatedly said that they would give credit to the task force.
Wu Mantun was setting up guards on both sides of the bridge, and sent two combat teams to occupy the 203 highland on the south bank of the bridge. After searching, he found that the enemy had not set up defenses on the 203 highland, which was too abnormal.
Zhong Yuemin didn't say a word for a long time after receiving the report. It stands to reason that so far, all tasks of the task force have been completed, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart. He always felt that everything seemed to go too smoothly.He once again raised the binoculars to look around carefully, and his point of view stopped on a small plateau on the east side of the bridge.This highland is marked on the map as 210 meters above sea level and is called 210 highland.According to the information we have, there is no enemy defense on the 210 Heights, and the turbulent river has turned a 210-degree bend in front of the 90 Heights. If you stand on the 210 Heights and observe, the angle of the No. 4 Bridge should be horizontal, and there are piers one by one. Unobstructed views in front of 210 Heights.Zhong Yuemin's heart suddenly moved, a thought flashed like lightning, could the information be wrong?If I were the opponent's commander, how would I deploy defenses?Don't I make a fuss about 210 highlands?Zhong Yuemin suddenly threw away the binoculars and shouted at the top of his lungs: "The first and second combat teams are in charge of guarding the bridge deck, and the rest follow me to occupy the 210 highland..."
However, Zhong Yuemin was still one step too late. At this time, our tank group appeared on the north bank, and several tanks serving as the vanguard had already increased their horsepower and rushed to the bridge.Zhong Yuemin suddenly heard a strange hissing sound in the air. He immediately realized that it was the sound of large-caliber shells piercing the air. A 152mm howitzer shell fell from the sky and landed on the bridge. There was a burst of explosions, the bridge was filled with smoke, and shrapnel flew across the bridge. There was a huge gap in the middle of the No. 4 bridge. The fast-moving tank was hit by artillery fire, ignited a fire, and fell to the 10-meter-high bridge deck. The ammunition inside the tank was ignited, causing a chain explosion...
Zhong Yuemin understood that the opponent's artillery had already calibrated their firepower to attack the various units. There should be an artillery observation post on the 210 high ground. Adjust the ruler to hit the target accurately.The opponent's commander was very smart. He waited for the tanks to drive onto the bridge before giving the order to fire. This is called half crossing strike.What's worse, after destroying the No. 4 bridge, our engineers will definitely build the bridge again, and then the artillery fire will cover the bridge deck again, making you build and destroy repeatedly, so as to prevent our South Group tank group from encircling City G strategic purpose.It seems that if you can't take down the 210 Heights, destroy the damn artillery observation post, not to mention building bridges, even the tank troops parked at the ferry will be very dangerous, because this place is always under the cover of the opponent's artillery fire.
Zhong Yuemin used the telephone to report the situation to the head of the former finger, and proposed to organize another surprise operation.For the first time, Commander Cao personally picked up the microphone and talked to Zhong Yuemin: "Zhong Yuemin, your task force has done a good job, and the new situation is not your responsibility. I agree with your request. You can act now. What's the matter?" No matter what the request is, Qian Zhi will try his best to meet it.”
Zhong Yuemin said: "Thank you, Chief. I only have one request. I need artillery support. I must suppress the enemy's artillery."
"I agree with your request. A self-propelled artillery regiment and an infantry regiment are rushing to the No. 4 bridge ferry. They will arrive soon. I wish you success!"
Of the tank regiment that arrived first, only two tanks crossed the No. 4 bridge, and the rest were separated on the north bank of the river and retreated beyond the range of the opponent's artillery fire.Soldiers of the task force led two tanks across the river to hide behind a huge rock, which was a blind spot for enemy artillery fire.After the two tanks stopped, the canopy was opened with a bang, and the first person to get out of the tank was Liu Jianguo. His face was livid, and he jumped off the tank cursing.Zhong Yuemin greeted him: "Jianguo, it's your fate, are the two tanks shot behind you from your company?"
Liu Jianguo's eyes were as red as a rabbit's eyes, and his facial muscles were also twitching, giving him a vicious look.He opened his mouth and asked viciously: "What the hell did you do, you can't even guarantee the safety of a ferry?"
Zhong Yuemin was also angry: "Open your fucking eyes and see, my mission is to seize the bridge, and now the bridge is in my hands."
Liu Jianguo asked bluntly: "What's the difference between occupying the bridge like this and not occupying it? I reimbursed my two tanks at once, but the bridge was still bombed."
Zhong Yuemin said: "Then you fucking ask Qianzhi, don't complain to me, this battle is not commanded by me. I am a small company commander just like you."
Zhang Haiyang patiently explained to Liu Jianguo what happened just now. Liu Jianguo's anger gradually calmed down. He walked over and patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "Dude, don't be angry with me. Eight brothers were killed in one fell swoop. A tank was scrapped, and I was so fucking angry. It was not easy to come this way, there were not many formal battles, there were enemy ambush points everywhere, and the infantry on board was miserable. We rushed over, and the infantry regiment was left behind , I'm afraid it will take another hour to arrive."
Zhong Yuemin said: "It's okay, the battle is not going well, everyone is very angry, so let's not worry about it. Now we have to destroy the artillery observation post on the 210 Heights, and you take your brothers to take over the ferry for a while." defense."
Liu Jianguo said worriedly: "Just a dozen or so of you? And if you attack from the back, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great. Let's wait for the infantry regiment to come up and fight."
"It's too late. The matter is obvious. If we don't destroy the artillery observation post sooner, we will always be beaten."
Liu Jianguo nodded, turned around and shouted: "Cars No. 3 and No. 5, all crew members are assembled and ready to take over the defense."
Zhong Yuemin shook his hand tightly and said, "Please, wait for our good news."
"Yuemin, you have to be careful. I won't say anything. After the battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink."
Zhong Yuemin picked up the submachine gun and shouted: "Task Force, get ready to fight, all teams come with me..."
