After sleeping in the tree for more than an hour, when I opened my eyes, I found that it was already bright... The jungle in Vietnam is like this. It is not easy for light to shine through the dense woods, and there will always be thick fog in the morning.
...This makes the day in the jungle almost the same as night.
"What's wrong?" I opened my eyes and found that Zhang Fan had woken up and was sitting on the tree trunk next to him, holding his chin and looking at me blankly.
"Oh, it's nothing!" Zhang Fan quickly changed his gaze, hesitated for a while, and then replied: "Then... which way should we go now?"
As I untied the backpack straps tied to my body, I replied: "Look at the sun. The direction the sun rises is in the east... We have to go north!"
"Oh!" Zhang Fan responded, circling around and gesticulating for a long time not knowing where to go.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh. It seems that Zhang Fan is still a veritable road blind... But it seems that girls have a poor sense of direction, and they seem to have not learned anything about "up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east" at this time.
"And so on.
"Let's eat something first!" I casually took out two compressed biscuits from my backpack and handed them over.
"Yeah!" Zhang Fan happily took the biscuit, and after taking a few bites, he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Yang Xuefeng... is it special or ordinary for you to be as thrilling as last night?"
"What's so special?" I was a little confused.
"It's just...isn't it particularly thrilling for you?"
"Absolutely!" I replied casually while biting the biscuit: "Didn't I tell you before? Dainoyama almost died a few times in that battle, don't worry... I can still handle something like this.
Got it!"
In fact, I already felt guilty at this time, because since the war until now, I have never left the army to be alone... Strictly speaking, I am not alone. Is there Zhang Fan? But in terms of combat effectiveness, Zhang Fan
It seems like everything is the same as nothing.
So what I said was to comfort Zhang Fan. I thought the reason why she asked this was because she was worried that I wouldn't be able to take her out. But I soon realized that I was wrong...
"Oh!" Zhang Fan responded, his expression dimmed and he stopped talking.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that Zhang Fan looked a little strange, I asked more.
"It's nothing!" Zhang Fan shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Fortunately, this battle is about to be over, so you don't have to be so thrilling in the future!"
After hearing this, I realized... It turns out that Zhang Fan was not worried about himself, but about me.
I couldn't help feeling helpless: Why is this girl still like this? She always worries about others instead of herself.
However... I don't think that after this war is over, there will be no need to fight it again. In fact, I know very well that... the withdrawal of our troops from Vietnam does not mean that this war is over. There will be a full decade of conflicts, both large and small.
"I don't want to think about that anymore!" I bit off the biscuits in my hand, took a few sips from the water bottle, handed it to Zhang Fan, and said, "It's time to leave after eating. Let's go out first!"
I tied my backpack and equipment to my body, carefully observed that there was no movement under the tree, and then jumped down... I didn't dare to be careless at this time, because I knew that as long as there was a slight mistake, we might get lost.
This is how he died.
After picking up Zhang Fan and identifying the direction, I walked towards the jungle with Zhang Fan holding the gun... Just like Chen Yiyi said, as long as the direction is right, when we meet the river, cross the river, climb the mountain, we will always reach the destination.
It’s a target day. But... I hope this day won’t be too long, otherwise Zhang Fan and I will just stay in the jungle of Vietnam and become a savage couple.
But let’s not talk about it... In modern times, I have heard that there are veterans who have never left the jungle of Vietnam and were discovered only after living for more than ten years.
But compared to this kind of life, I would rather die happily on the battlefield. The reason is very simple. I am a modern person who is accustomed to living a modern life with TV, computers, mobile phones, games... and other entertainment. Now let me
I live a primitive life with nothing in the jungle... Just kill me!
It’s just that even if I want to live such a life, it seems that God won’t allow it...
Zhang Fan and I had been walking in the jungle for more than half an hour when the sound of "shushing" in front of me aroused my alertness. I quickly lowered my voice and signaled Zhang Fan behind me to hide. After a while, I saw a few people walking out of the jungle.
Personally, because of the heavy fog and poor lighting in the jungle, I couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes.
But at that moment, the first thing I thought of must be the enemy. One was because I knew that Captain Luo and his men had retreated. The other was because even if they were our people, the chance of encountering them in this jungle was very slim, and it was also very rare.
It's impossible to go south...
So I quietly took the AK47 from Zhang Fan's hand and signaled Zhang Fan to use the pistol... In this close encounter with the enemy, I believe that I can deal with these people if I am prepared or not, although the sound of gunfire may
More Vietnamese troops were attracted, but at this time they could no longer care about so many.
Those people were walking all the way towards our hiding place, and it seemed impossible to hide... So I could only pick up the gun and take aim. Just when I was about to pull the trigger, I was stopped by Zhang Fan.
"Don't shoot!" Zhang Fan pressed the muzzle of my gun and said, "It seems to be one of our own!"
"Are you sure?" I couldn't help but feel a little bit in my heart.
"Yeah!" Zhang Fan nodded: "It looks familiar...like a female soldier from the art troupe..."
However, Zhang Fan was not very sure, so he just opened his mouth and whispered: "Xu Li..."
Seeing this, I couldn't help but sweat. If I'm not sure, I'll take another look... If the other person is an enemy, if you shout like that, it's not completely exposed.
"Who!" The team members were startled when they heard the voice and immediately stopped.
There is no doubt now, it is Chinese... Although there is only one word, it is very strong evidence.
"It's really you!" Zhang Fan jumped out immediately and rushed towards them with surprise and joy.
"Zhang Fan! Why are you here?"
"You weren't last night..."
…
Several women were together, regardless of whether there was any danger around them, and they just chatted like this, which made me shake my head.
On the other hand, I was also secretly glad: Fortunately, Zhang Fan had suppressed the gun just in time, otherwise, if this incident had passed, I would have suffered the self-blame and guilt in my heart.
When I stood up and approached them, I realized that they were not all female soldiers... there was also a fine guard carrying a 56-and-a-half among them.
"Hello, comrade!" The elite guard walked up to me and shook hands with me enthusiastically: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, it's great to meet you here!"
"Why are you going in this direction?" This was my first sentence, because just now it was because of this that I almost "solved" them all.
"We... are lost!" The Jingwei officer was a little embarrassed.
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng, come and command us!" The female soldier Zhang Fan called Xu Li came up to me and held my hand: "We know you are a platoon leader and a combat hero, but we have little combat experience.
...I will resolutely obey your command!"
"Yeah!" I nodded.
Although I don't like a few more dragging down people, but in this foreign country, on this battlefield... it is also obligatory to protect female soldiers from the enemy's aggression and harm. This is also a consensus of all the troops in our army. Otherwise,
If so, I will be scolded to death by my comrades even if I go back.
"Why are you here too?" The expression on Zhang Fan's face was as if he was overjoyed to meet an old friend in a foreign land, and there was no feeling at all that he was a fellow victim.
"We also got separated from the main force last night!" Xu Li replied: "It was too dark, and the fighting was quite chaotic... As soon as the gunfire rang out, we didn't know which side of the force was ours, and we walked in confusion all night.
I came here... luckily I met you!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised that people like them could survive on the battlefield and luckily meet us... This is really God's will.
"The Vietnamese Japs may send troops to search nearby!" I reminded: "We'd better continue marching!"
"Yes!" several female soldiers responded in unison...
Although I am also a platoon leader and have been leading troops for a while, I am still a little uncomfortable hearing the response of female soldiers because it gives me an illusion... I feel like I am commanding a women's army.
.
So the team soon became seven people, two male soldiers and five female soldiers... But what troubled me was that the seven people only had three guns. Except for the AK in Zhang Fan's hand, only two of the female soldiers were equipped with Type 54
Pistol, this gun may be used for self-defense, but it is used for combat... If you are a sharpshooter, you can barely hit an enemy 50 meters away with this pistol. If it is further away, it will not only miss the target, but also hit the target.
It won't cause much damage... Of course, if it happens to hit the eye or something, that's another matter.
This is not a question of whether the marksmanship is good or not. Some people always think that if you can’t hit a gun in your hand, it means you don’t have enough training or your marksmanship is not good. They always think that everyone should just grab a handful like what they see on TV and in movies.
Even with a gun in your hand, you can always hit the mark...but the reality is...can you go to the moon while riding a bicycle?
We cannot say that weapons are the only weapon, but we also cannot say that weapons are useless.
For war... weapons and equipment are equally important as people. As long as any one aspect is insufficient, the overall combat effectiveness will be affected according to the principle of shortcomings... The problem of our army is to pursue the human spirit and will for a long time.
It is more important than weapons and equipment, so many problems arise on the battlefield.
In other words, in fact, the only effective sniper rifle in our hands is a 56 and a half, an AK and a limited number of magazines. With such firepower, we are afraid that we will encounter a Vietnamese army casually.
