When we arrived at Hill 237, the battle was almost over as expected.
Although there was still sporadic resistance on Highland 237, gunfire was sparse, and it was obvious that the soldiers had almost run out of ammunition.
The soldiers and I immediately jumped into the battle without saying a word, and began to outflank the Vietnamese troops attacking the positions on the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain.
Our appearance seemed to give the soldiers on the top of the mountain a shot in the arm, and at the same time caused a brief confusion in the Vietnamese army... After all, at this time, they were actually in a passive situation of being attacked from two sides.
However, this also told the Vietnamese army that if they did not seize the top position immediately, they would die.
So the Japanese Japs launched a final attack on the mountaintop position like crazy. The machine guns fired hard at the mountaintop position, and the men carrying AK47s rushed while beating. Suddenly, the mountaintop position was filled with smoke and blood, and the people stationed there were
The People's Liberation Army soldiers on board were beaten until they were unable to fight back.
There is a saying that a trapped beast still fights, which means that people in desperate situations will often fight with the determination to die, and it is precisely this kind of struggle that shows amazing combat effectiveness. This is what the Vietnamese army did this time... From this point of view
In other words, our arrival has accelerated the fall of the mountaintop position.
Then... the scene we least wanted to see happened. The Vietnamese army quickly rushed into the grenade-throwing distance, and then threw grenades one after another towards the hilltop position.
"Boom..." After bursts of explosions, a barrage exploded on the top of the mountain. The next second, the Vietnamese army rushed in like a group of fierce jackals...
Everything is too late... I couldn't help but sigh to myself. What awaits us now seems to be another tough battle. We can only hope that we can take down Highland 237 before the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army arrive!
"Keep moving forward!" Captain Luo gritted his teeth and gave the order.
I know what Captain Luo is thinking. He wants to take advantage of the fact that the Vietnamese army has just captured Highland 237 and has not yet established a foothold to capture it in one fell swoop.
It's just that this method may be feasible for new troops, but it will not be effective for veteran troops like the Vietnamese army, because they will send some people to clear the battlefield in a tacit understanding while the main force concentrates on organizing defense.
However, there seems to be no other way now, and we can only use the dead horse as a living horse doctor, so we dispersed the formation according to the order of Captain Luo and surrounded the 237 Hill with guns in hand.
At this time, something unexpected happened to us. Those Japanese soldiers who had just rushed into the smoke retreated back...and all of them looked panicked.
Although the soldiers and I didn't know what happened, we didn't hesitate to raise our guns and shoot at the Vietnamese soldiers who had escaped... Those Vietnamese soldiers stood in front of us like targets.
He lay down immediately after the gunshot.
Just when we were wondering how the Vietnamese army could make such a stupid mistake, there was a burst of explosions from the position on the top of the mountain... The entire position on the top of the mountain was almost destroyed.
Later I found out that the soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain had planned to set off the explosives... The reason why they had a plan was because they had long known that they could not withstand the Vietnamese attack without bullets.
, and also knew that the Vietnamese army would throw out grenades before launching the final attack...
In order to kill as many enemies as possible, and also to provide us with an opportunity to retake Highland 237, they held a small meeting before the Vietnamese army rushed forward... Let soldiers who had finished their bullets or soldiers who were injured and incapable of fighting carry them
The explosive package is waiting in the cat's ear hole.
There were more than a dozen of these explosive packets, and they were spaced apart from each other, almost circling the entire mountaintop position... The reason why they hid in the Maoer Cave was because they had been waiting for the grenades thrown up by the Vietnamese army.
The explosion of the Vietnamese army's grenade was a signal for them to set off the explosive pack... It should be said that this was very smart. The smoke of the Vietnamese army's grenade could cover the Vietnamese army's charge, and it could also cover up the fire of the fuse of the explosive pack, while the soldiers held it
Hiding in the Mao'er Hole with an explosive pack, you will hardly be harmed by Vietnamese grenades. Of course, except if the grenade is thrown at the entrance of the Mao'er Hole.
So as we can see...the Vietnamese army didn't even realize that the position on the top of the mountain had actually turned into a powder magazine that was about to be detonated, and they were still charging in groups...part of this
We have discovered it. After all, soldiers who have fought on the battlefield are still very sensitive to the "sizzling" sound of the fuse. It is a pity that after they escape, they have to face our guns. They did not escape.
There is no need to say more, with a loud "boom" everything disappeared.
It's just that...disappeared together with the enemy and the mountaintop position, as well as our soldiers stationed on it...
Looking at this scene, we couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but Captain Luo would not give up such a good opportunity, so he waved the rifle in his hand and shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades! Go ahead! Avenge the comrades of the third battalion!"
"
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
…
The soldiers of the third battalion stationed on the top of the mountain...their suicidal final bombing not only provided us with an opportunity to retake the position, but also aroused our bloody and murderous intentions.
Although the battle has developed to this moment, we have fought two battles, and many enemies have died under our hands... However, in the previous two battles, we were slaughtering the enemy... Sometimes things on the battlefield cannot be explained, just like owing...
Just like you would feel a little sorry if you took someone else's money or did something wrong to others, you would also feel the same way when killing enemies on the battlefield.
This is actually normal, because killing the enemy is the biggest apology... Even though they are our enemies, even though we know they deserve to die, we still feel a little guilty after killing someone.
This may be difficult for people in a peaceful world to imagine. Perhaps many people will start to talk about the truth at this time: you are the enemy on the battlefield, so what kind of mercy can you say to the enemy?
However, everyone knows the truth. When you are actually watching the enemies die one after another on the battlefield, you still can't feel anything at all. This may be the difference between humans and beasts.
It is precisely because of this that we have to constantly find excuses for ourselves to balance. For example... the Vietnamese invaders are invading our border, so we should be killed; the Vietnamese have killed many of our comrades, so we deserve to be killed; the Vietnamese want our lives, so we must not
Don’t kill…
What has always supported me to continue killing without mercy is the scene of the field hospital being bombed, Zhang Fan's helpless eyes and wailing in the flames... Although I did not see this scene with my own eyes.
It is also based on this mentality. In the two battles of Qingqing, we were slaughtering the Vietnamese army. Therefore, not only did we not hate the Vietnamese army, but we also felt a little sorry in the subconscious. The more Japanese we killed, the more Japanese we killed.
The ones who should be angry and hateful should be the Yue Japanese.
But at this moment, stimulated by the tragic suicidal counterattack by the People's Liberation Army soldiers on the top of the mountain, our hatred for the Vietnamese army came out again. So everyone rushed towards Hill 237 with bayonets in hand.
Then he followed the Vietnamese army and stabbed and killed them indiscriminately...
But to be honest, the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain had no power to resist at this time. After the burst of explosives exploded, the Vietnamese soldiers were stunned even if they did not die. Even if they were not stunned, they were still deaf and dizzy.
has no ability to respond.
If these Vietnamese troops could have been prisoners of our army in peacetime, it can even be said that our army's tradition is to treat prisoners preferentially. But at this moment, how can we care so much? All we think about is that these people were targeting our comrades just now.
, our brothers fought happily, but they forced the soldiers of the third battalion to death, and they also wanted to block our retreat and eat us... So if they don't die, who else should die?
So whether they are standing, lying down, or struggling half-lying and half-standing, they either need to make up for it with a knife or a few bullets...
The battle ended quickly. When the smoke gradually faded, we discovered that the trenches on position 237 had been bombed to a terrible extent. Almost all we could see were the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers. Most of the corpses of our soldiers were bombed with explosives.
The trenches I blew up were buried.
Several soldiers seemed to be unwilling to give up. They dug frantically into the trenches with engineering shovels, trying to rescue a few soldiers... But everyone knew that this was in vain. No one could survive such an explosion, and it was still
Buried in the soil.
Not long after, the third battalion commander came back with the soldiers. Seeing this scene, he could only sigh and take off his hat to pay tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on Highland 237. Then... the soldiers followed one after another.
We took off our hats, and the mountain wind carried a cloud of gunpowder smoke past us. In an instant, the entire battlefield was filled with the desolation of a warrior who would never return.
However, in the end, we did not let the soldiers be buried on Vietnamese soil. Before retreating, we dug all the trenches we could to find the remains of the martyrs.
It should be said that this approach is very dangerous, because it takes time to find the body, and it also takes time to move the body... And we may have to face the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army chasing after us at any time. Once they get entangled, it will be difficult to get rid of them.
Get rid of them. After all, we are retreating, and there is no cover from other troops.
But... in the end we decided to do this. The reason is simple. These soldiers died for us. Without them, maybe we would never be able to get back home.
We just searched and searched, but in the end we still couldn't find all the thirty-seven corpses... We only found a dozen or so. The others may have been blown up by explosives, so there was no way to find them.
