Later we learned that the infantry company, which served as the fifth company of the cover engineer, could not hold back when retreating. As a result, it was withdrawn... Speaking of which, although there were not many such things in our army, there were still some. In fact, this kind of thing was in reality.
It is normal on the battlefield. Any unit with heroes will inevitably have bears. This is an objective fact. Moreover, our unit is so large that there are hundreds of thousands of people and insufficient training.
The reason why we often hear heroic deeds but do not know that bears are deserters is because the morale of the army needs. It is beneficial to the army to promote more heroic deeds. The other is because no deserter is so stupid that he promotes his own deserter everywhere.
of.
And it should be said that... there are many things like deserters, especially when retreating here.
Didn’t the superior give us an order to retreat? Well, I turned off the radio and said that it was to keep the radio silent, and then once I retreated... If the superior questioned, he would say that the order was wrong or he didn’t hear it clearly. Anyway, we
He came back alive, and indeed fought wars on the battlefield and even made contributions. Can the superiors drive us back to Vietnam? And for such a thing, it is said that deserters were punished for deserters... It's a little more
, so most of them just do whatever they want.
So, even if our company is in trouble, the one who fought to the battlefield was rushing to the front, but when retreating, he was walking at the end...
Of course, I can only hide these words in my heart. As a platoon leader, I certainly know that these complaints will only affect the morale of the soldiers.
This is often the case on the battlefield, and there is no concept of fairness or not.
If you think the orders of your superiors are unfair or passive and lazy because you are not convinced, then okay... When the Japanese come up, you will only lose your life.
The soldiers also fought on the battlefield, and of course they knew this well, so they didn't say anything about the construction of fortifications after receiving the order.
Maybe...this is just the difference between a new recruit and a veteran!
In just over a dozen days, our company has become a veteran unit.
Hebian is a basin with mountains around it, but our mission is to cover the five engineers' company to bomb the bridge. In addition, our company has only about forty people, so we cannot station the high ground on all sides. So we can only build at the bridgehead.
Fortifications.
Fortifications include trenches and cat ear piercings, but because the soil in Hebian is relatively soft, we can't dig cat ear piercings on the side walls of the trenches, and we don't have time to build "human" fortifications like the Yue Japanese, so we had to dig near the trenches.
A single soldier pit, two meters long and more than one meter wide, was covered with wooden sticks and straw and thatch, and finally a layer of soil was laid on it to hide inside.
This looks a bit like a coffin, and it is obviously not safe enough. The exposed area is too much, and the Vietnamese army was hit by a cannon. But there is nothing we can do about it, and now it is also on the way to retreat.
, Everyone knows that this place must be kept for a short time, so they just used it together.
The only benefit is that people can lie down when they hide inside.
You should know that although the cat's ear piercing dug on the side wall of the trench is safe, the whole person has to curl up into a ball like a mouse and can't even do it if you want to stretch out your hands and kick your legs. Needless to say, the degree of discomfort is too much.
Now we can at least lie down.
Perhaps because they could return home soon, the soldiers were so excited that they couldn't sleep, including those engineers and soldiers. So they all looked out at the stars and chatted silently.
"Comrade, where are you?"
"From Nanjing, Jiangsu!"
"It's time to go back to China in a few days!"
"Yes. The superiors will never leave us in Vietnam, right?"
"Have you found a partner?"
"No, I don't know how to find a way!"
"You have to ask the right person. One is to write a letter to read literary talent, the other is to meet and look at body shape, and the third is to speak and look at eloquence. Remember!"
...
I almost didn't laugh at this. My literary talent, figure, eloquence... Is this the evaluation standard of people in this era? This is not a little bit different from the standard gap between the modern tall, rich and handsome guys...
At this moment, I suddenly saw a few lights shaking in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but twitch my heart, so I quickly gave the order: "Stop sounds, stop sounds!"
These lights may not be anything to others, but as a sniper, I am particularly sensitive to this because I know that it is the light projected by moonlight onto the telescope.
Who would be watching us with a telescope? If it were our own people, there would be no need to do this at all, so the answer is very simple... It is the Japanese.
Soon the surroundings became quiet, and there were only the cry of mosquitoes and frogs.
"The second platoon leader..." Company Commander Luo's cat hole was only two meters away from me. He lowered his voice and shouted at me, "What's the situation?"
"There is an enemy!" I said: "Someone is observing with a telescope across the bridge!"
"Would you read it wrong?" Captain Zhang said in a disbelief: "How could the Japanese in Yue arrive here so quickly? Besides, there are mines everywhere in Sabah, and there is no movement there!"
"That's it!" Another engineer soldier also replied: "Is this comrade joking? Can you discover the enemy's observation on the opposite side with a telescope?"
"Of course!" Several soldiers under my command quickly retorted: "Who do you think our platoon leader is, you can hit a shot at a distance of 800 meters!"
"What? Eight hundred meters? One shot hit?"
"Isn't it bragging?"
"Of course not! Our entire warriors were watching with their own eyes!"
...
Then the topic quickly turned to various anecdotes on the battlefield, and the warning was relieved just now.
This situation makes me a little amused. If the combat troops and non-combat troops are mixed together, this situation will occur... The non-combat troops will always be curious about the things on the battlefield, and the combat troops are because of a little vanity.
I was also happy to tell them about this and that. Of course, sometimes I would sometimes say it a little exaggerated.
But this seems to be a good thing. I originally wanted the soldiers to be alert, but then I thought... If there is really a Japanese hiding across the bridge, then I would warn the soldiers too early, but I would be afraid that they would alert the enemy.
Be wary, so I followed them.
Of course, the soldiers relax their vigilance does not mean that I will do this. One is because I am not at ease with the alert of the engineer company, and the other is because I know that if the Vietnamese army fights at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable... Our position is almost
It can be said that there is no danger to defend.
Therefore, after arranging two secret whistles, he dared to lie back into the cat's ear to rest.
What surprised me was that nothing happened that night, not only did the Vietnamese army attack, but there was not even the withdrawn People's Liberation Army. But this doesn't seem surprising... We can all be considered the last batch, right?
I am still in the south of the bridge, but there are only some engineers who are carrying out the finishing work.
Later I realized that it was precisely because of this that the Vietnamese troops lurking across the bridge did not dare to act rashly, because their troops and equipment were insufficient. Not only did they need time to gather more troops, but they also hoped to be able to take advantage of the situation.
But this is my personality. Once I doubt or identify something, it will not change easily because of other people's statements or opinions. So although the secret whistle set up last night can be said to be in vain, and even the engineers have organized it.
A platoon of troops went to the high ground across the bridge to search... and found nothing, but I still insisted on my suspicion.
"Second Team Leader!" I found Chen Yiyi by the river.
For some reason, the more the troops retreated, the more they became, the more depressed Chen Yiyi was. Now another person sat on the stone by the river in a daze.
"Um!" After a while, Chen Yiyi came to her senses and turned her head to find that it was me. After she found that it was me, her eyes quickly became complicated again.
"What's wrong?" I asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"No... nothing!" Chen Yiyi shook her head: "Just...I don't know what will happen after returning to China..."
"Well!" I felt all the doubts when Chen Yiyi said this. In fact, I also had the same concerns as her, because although that was a country where I grew up, I was also unfamiliar with this era.
"Don't worry!" Although I thought that way, I still comforted Chen Yiyi: "In our country, women usually don't need to be in the army. In the future... I will find a job to live a good life, and I will no longer have to be so worried and afraid.
!”
"What about you?"
"Me?" I smiled bitterly, "What else can I do if I don't join the army? What's more... I'll help you find your sister back!"
I admit that I wrote a blank check because I don’t think I will meet Chen Qiaoqiao in the future.
However, this made Chen Yiyi very useful. She nodded in emotion, her eyes full of tears.
It is precisely because of Chen Yiyi's performance that I thought she would live like my plan for the future, but I didn't expect that... Chen Yiyi is even more of a person who can't do anything without joining the army.
She couldn't have the ability to leave her sister behind and wait for others to save her, even if the person who promised to save her was me.
"By the way!" I spread a map in front of Chen Yiyi and said, "Are you familiar with the terrain of Sabah? Is it possible for the Japanese to bypass Sabah and go to Hebian through the path?"
Chen Yiyi replied with certainty: "Although I am not very familiar with Sabah, I must have a small path. As long as the direction is correct and there is more time, I can always walk through it! But it is not suitable for large troops to march, and
It's lighter."
"Yeah!" I nodded. I had been fighting in Vietnam for a while, so I also knew that marching in the Vietnamese jungle sometimes even climbed cliffs, which meant that it was impossible to bring too much ammunition or
Heavy weapons, otherwise they will consume exponentially the energy and marching time.
So I felt a little bit of a sigh in my heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.
