As Company Commander Luo and I expected, the reconnaissance troops sent out one by one, and then returned disappointed.
Those wells were either controlled by the Vietnamese guerrillas or had been poisoned. Not to mention the spring water on the 2681 Highland... Many Vietnamese troops were ambushed in the jungle of the highland, and our reconnaissance troops were often not approaching.
The destination was ambushed by them, but not only did they not bring back water, but also sacrificed several soldiers.
So the battle situation obviously took a big turn of 180 degrees... The Vietnamese army changed from being passive to being active now.
Before, the Vietnamese army was worried that they would be surrounded by our army, so they were anxious.
But now... the Vietnamese army calculated that it will take about three days for the main force of the People's Liberation Army to fight. Can the People's Liberation Army troops stationed at the pass stop their attack without water?
So what we are anxious now is that we have no water or food. The impact of no water or food is that our combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Of course, the Vietnamese Japanese won't make us feel better. In order to accelerate the consumption of our physical strength and not much drinking water left, they will occasionally make a feint attack on the 217 Highlands... I have to admit that the Vietnamese army is very good at doing this, don't
I thought the Vietnamese army was a feint attack, so I didn't take it seriously. If our army was careless, the Vietnamese Japanese would become a real attack at any time.
The side of the canyon I stationed is quite easy. After all, my defense against the canyon itself is to actively give up the first half of the key defense in the second half, so the feint of the Vietnamese army is completely unsuitable in the direction of the canyon... We are basically open
The gate lets the Japanese in Yue enter. As long as you dare to enter, I will have the confidence to prevent you from going out.
However, the Japanese devils were very smart. They were not fooled. From beginning to end, they were just arranging a T62 to harass the valley entrance for a while.
But the soldiers on the 217th Highlands were not so comfortable. They were forced to go to the position to defend again and again by the Vietnamese army, and during the back and forth movement and the sun exposed... so they lost their moisture.
Many soldiers who fainted without replenishment were carried down.
"Platform leader, let's just rush out and fight against the Vietnamese devils!" Seeing this bayonet, I couldn't help but get angry: "It's too suffocating to continue like this. It's better to rush out and kill!"
"Yes, platoon leader!" The other soldiers also shouted: "It's better to die if you die at all times!"
"Fight with the Vietnamese Japanese!"
...
I didn't answer because I knew that the soldiers said this to vent their dissatisfaction. In some ways... they would have such a performance because they could not see the hope of victory or could not see the survival
Hope, so I thought of dying to seek liberation.
But everyone knows that rushing out like this will only meet the wishes of the Yue Japanese.
"I think there is something strange!" I ignored the angry soldiers, but turned around and asked Chen Yiyi: "Where did the Japanese devils come from so many poisons that poisoned them?"
No one has ever asked about this question, but after thinking about it from the perspective of others, you will understand: the river water keeps flowing. If the Japanese want to keep the river toxic, they must constantly poison the river!
If the Japanese invaders had a lot of ammunition, I believe that the Soviet Union would provide them with free supplies. But why did they get so much poison? Is the Japanese invaders so full? Or they know that they will have this today?
One battle, so first, have you prepared so many poisons?
Chen Yiyi smiled bitterly and replied: "There is a pesticide factory in Sabah that specializes in producing pesticides for Vietnamese people to kill insects for crops!"
"Oh!" Only then did I realize that this agricultural country is not surprising. It is not surprising that there is a pesticide factory. At the same time, I secretly thought that the life of the Japanese was really good. This pesticide factory can almost be said to have caused the situation on the entire battlefield.
All turned around.
only……
"Do you know where the pesticide factory is?" I turned over and sat up. I spread a map in front of Chen Yiyi.
"Yeah!" Chen Yiyi nodded, pointed to a place and said, "Da Qing is here, a large brick and tile house. Because it is a pesticide factory, it is in a relatively remote place!"
"Hey, platoon leader..." The bayonets complained again at this time: "We are almost thirsty, you are still asking about pesticides..."
"Don't make a noise!" I interrupted the bayonet, and after thinking about it, I stood up and said, "We may have water to drink soon!"
"What?" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. No one knew what the pesticide had to do with drinking water.
I didn't explain anything to the soldiers, and took the map and Chen Yiyi to the group's fingers... After walking out of the canyon, I saw soldiers with chapped lips everywhere, so I didn't dare to neglect all the way to the group's fingers.
When I came to the regiment, I saw that the leader and the political commissar were frowning at the map, so I walked up and reported step by step: "Captain, I thought of a solution... Maybe it will work!"
"Oh, what's the solution? Tell me quickly!" The leader and political commissar became energetic when they heard this.
"That's right!" I spread the map on the table in a few seconds: "I just learned... the reason why the Yue Japanese can continue to poison is entirely because there is a pesticide factory here. If we contact our superiors, we will contact our superiors.
...If the artillery bombed the pesticide factory, what else could the Japanese devils use to poison them?"
When the leader and the political commissar were stunned when they heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, looking at me with an incredible expression.
"Damn it!" The commander slapped his head and blamed himself: "Look at me, I am so stupid... I am still a big ball! I can't even think of such a simple method, but my head is just a stubborn... No
It just made his soldiers suffer and sacrificed so many comrades in vain!"
"I'm talking about Lao Huang!" The political commissar shook his head and said, "This is not you too stupid. Look at the hundreds of people in our group...who would have thought of going here?"
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Then the political commissar held my hand tightly and said, "I won't say much about thanks, good comrade! In just a few days... you don't know how many times have you saved us?
!”
The leader just looked at me with shame, nodded gratefully, turned around and shouted: "Communicationist, contact me the division headquarters immediately!"
"Old Liu!" the political commissar explained: "Remember to use a password, otherwise if the Japanese invaders intercept the telegram, they will be troublesome!"
"I understand!" The commander went to make arrangements without saying a word.
After a while, the regiment commander walked back with great strides, raised the telegram in his hand to us, and said excitedly: "It's done! The division headquarters is also anxious about our situation, but we are suffering from the fact that our army has been helping behind the Vietnamese army.
Not busy, now when we hear our request, we will take the primary goal of attacking the enemy pesticide factory... However, because the Vietnamese pesticide factory cannot be accurately positioned, the superiors are worried that random fire will alarm the snake, so that the Vietnamese army will be prepared to cause trouble again.
So I decided to send two reconnaissance units to the designated target in two directions to reconnaissance, striving to find the target within two hours and destroy it!"
"Okay!" said the political commissar clenched his fists: "The superiors attach so much importance to it, then half of the problem will be solved!"
"Captain, political commissar!" I reminded from the side: "At that time... even if the Japanese have no poison to throw in, they will not give up. I think... they are likely to divert the small river to get our army.
The purpose of water shortage. So... I think we should be prepared in advance, and in the time gap between the Vietnamese army's non-toxic and the diversion of the river... we should do everything possible to store enough water!"
"Oh..." Commander of the group was stunned when he heard the words, and then nodded in convincingly and said, "It was Comrade Yang Xuefeng who thought carefully. I was almost blinded by this good news and made another mistake!"
"Old Liu!" The political commissar couldn't help laughing: "I think we old guys are almost going to retire, and now we are the world of young people!"
The preparations were soon in full swing. The soldiers were already thirsty and dry. When they heard that they would drink non-toxic water later, they would not care about fatigue and immediately started to do it.
All kinds of containers were brought up.
Needless to say, the water bottles I carry with me are all concentrated on both sides of the river to prepare for water. Other containers, such as the pots and bowls of the cooking team, were all brought up and placed everywhere. What's even more amazing is that
...Several soldiers also collected the bullet shells of anti-aircraft machine guns and tied them into bundles with backpack straps. The bullet heads of the anti-aircraft machine guns are 12.7 mm, and the caliber of the shell is really not small. Such a bundle is really
It can hold a lot of water like a small bucket.
But at this time there was another problem that made me embarrassed...
The bombing of the Vietnamese Pesticide Factory can indeed make their poisons poor, but... the Vietnamese army may still have some pesticides on hand, which can still maintain the toxicity of the river for a period of time. During this period, the Vietnamese army commander was very good.
You may receive news that the pesticide factory was bombed, so you quickly make the decision to divert the river.
In other words...that is, this time gap may be very short, but the most serious thing is...we don't know when the river water is non-toxic. Toxic water and non-toxic water are simply for the naked eye.
Can't tell, right? We can't take a sip and try it out!
In other words...it is difficult for us to grasp this time gap.
However, this problem was quickly solved by Chen Yiyi...
When she heard me telling this so-called "difficulty", she opened her mouth wide for a long time and couldn't close it. Then she hated me and shook her head and smiled, "You...you can easily solve such a big thing.
How come it is such a simple thing but not knowing it?!!”
I was a little dissatisfied at first, but when Chen Yiyi picked up a handful of water from the river, then caught a few ants and threw them into the water and placed them in front of me, I had to convince.
That's right... If you want to know if the river water is poisonous, of course you don't need to take a few sips. Can you just try it with bugs? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
