"Fight!" With Captain Luo's order, the battle began.
So the machine guns and submachine guns swiped at the Vietnamese troops under the slope, and grenades were thrown one after another...
This battle was one-sided from the beginning. Most of the Vietnamese troops were unprepared and were caught off guard by us. If there was resistance, it was a few officers who were hiding in the tunnels to rest. Because they
He is holding a gun when he is not working... It is said that the officers of the Vietnamese army are different from our army. Our army pays attention to the equality of officers and soldiers, but the hierarchy concept of the Vietnamese army officers is quite serious. For example, ours
What I saw was that the Vietnamese soldiers were working while the officers were resting in the tunnels.
In addition, the military quality of the Vietnamese army officers was indeed poor. When they realized that they were being attacked, they immediately spread out and raised their guns to fight back at our position on the top of the mountain.
It's a pity...the flaming rounds exploded one after another on the Vietnamese army's position. This would not only bring great confusion and casualties to the Vietnamese army, but also expose them to the light of the fire.
So... I easily knocked down those officers who were still able to resist one by one, and I didn't even change my sniper position during the whole process.
The next time I spent throwing grenades...I have to admit that I threw them randomly because the flames of the incendiary bombs in the distance were too bright, which made it difficult for me to see the relatively close position clearly. This may be
It's the so-called darkness under the light...
One of the reasons why I throw them out is because the logistics at this time are still relatively secure. Cheap things like grenades are being transported to the front line one by one from the rear. So if you don't shoot them in vain, don't fight them. Keep them for more.
It took a lot of effort to bring it back. The other reason is because... the safety cover is open. Rainwater and other things will get in more or less. If you don't fire now, you may not be able to fire next time. This is true on the battlefield.
It is undoubtedly very taboo. If there is an emergency and the grenade fails to fire, it is very likely to cause death.
So with this mentality in mind, I threw out the grenades prepared in front of me one after another... Speaking of which, my ability to throw grenades is really not very good. In fact, it is not my fault. What I am good at is sniping...
...So in order to take advantage of the long range of sniper rifles, we usually fight at long distances. Therefore, we have never had much interest in close combat gadgets such as grenades.
So I didn't expect these grenades to have any effect... But something unexpected happened to me. With the explosion of these grenades... I just felt the soil in front of me falling down.
A piece of it stretched like dominoes to the Vietnamese army position for a long distance.
Later I found out that this was a tunnel for the Yue Japs... The Yue Japs had actually always wanted to break the rule that the top position on the top of the mountain belonged to us during the day and to them at night. They wanted the top position on the top of the mountain to be in their hands no matter day or night.
.It’s just that our army built fortifications on the reverse slope first, and they couldn’t defend it at all...
So they thought of a way, opening an opening out of our sight, and then digging a tunnel leading to the position on the top of the mountain... You know, if this tunnel is completed one day, then they can pretend to attack our army.
They launched a feint attack on the mountaintop position. The other side sent a force from the tunnel directly to our mountaintop position to launch a surprise attack... Not only could we successfully capture the mountaintop position, but our troops also suffered heavy casualties.
You can imagine what happened next... Although we had built complete fortifications, the position on the top of the mountain was completely controlled by the Vietnamese army, and the troops suffered heavy casualties... It was only a matter of time before Highland 581 fell into their hands.
Already.
Obviously, their tunnel has almost reached the top of the mountain. It's just because the Vietnamese army didn't reinforce the surrounding soil like us in order to be fast... But then again, they can't reinforce it, right?
The secret passage must be kept secret. If they mess with it, there will be no more than three hundred taels of silver in this place.
So I happened to throw these grenades near the secret passage and exploded... "Crack!" and most of it collapsed.
Thinking about it later, I was really lucky in this explosion, otherwise the consequences for our second company would have been disastrous. At the same time, I also realized one thing: the Japanese soldiers were not as easy to deal with as we thought.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Captain Luo shouted twice and then blew the whistle.
So the soldiers ran back like crazy, reached the entrance of the tunnel and plunged in...
Some people may say...haven't we won the war? The Vietnamese Japanese have left us unable to fight back, so why not pursue the victory and wipe them out in one go?
You must know that this war is no joke.
First of all, on this kind of battlefield with poor visibility and mud and water everywhere, it is basically impossible to completely eliminate the Vietnamese army... A row of bullets will fall down a large number of Vietnamese soldiers. Do you know which ones are real or fake? If
As expected, at least a third of the Vietnamese troops on the slope are lying motionless in the mud, waiting for us to go up. If we rush up to pursue the victory... I'm afraid it will soon develop into a melee.
.
Therefore, taking a bite and running away, leaving the Japanese with nowhere to vent their anger, is the best strategy.
Secondly, it’s because of artillery. Our army has artillery, and the Vietnamese army also has artillery... And because both of us have the opportunity to occupy the top position, both sides have a sufficient understanding of the other side’s terrain. In other words... our artillery
You can control the mountaintop position, and you can even use mortars to control some parts of the reverse slope.
This is why neither the enemy nor we dare to put too many troops on the top of the mountain. Put a lot of soldiers up there... the enemy only needs to fire one shot to solve it. So although the top of the mountain is a battleground for military strategists,
, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.
Just like this time, when we pulled the troops up to the top of the mountain, it was also a surprise attack, and we had to fight and retreat quickly... If we stayed for a long time, we would inevitably be bombarded by the Vietnamese army.
Sure enough, as soon as our front feet entered the tunnel, there was a burst of shelling outside. At this time, the soldiers were already hiding in the tunnel, laughing...
"Second Platoon Commander!" Captain Luo moved to my side and asked, "You seemed to have exploded something just now..."
"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "That thing is very long... let's call it a tunnel... It's not like the tunnel is not that weak. It will collapse after a few grenades, so there is no way to hide people!"
"That's a tunnel!" Scar added from the side: "I've seen it too... This is a common trick used by the Japanese because it only requires people to pass through, and sometimes for the sake of speed, they don't care about whether it's solid or not!
"
"Oh, there are also tunnels..." After Scar said this, the soldiers came up one by one with great interest and asked questions:
"What are these tunnels for?"
"Is it used to deal with us?"
…
"What's the use of this!" Scar chuckled: "It's not necessarily certain, sometimes it's to transport troops, sometimes...if they have enough explosives...they will bury explosives underneath the position on the top of the mountain, and then there will be a bang..."
When the soldiers heard this, they stared at me and were speechless for a long time.
Even I was stunned, yes... If this tunnel is dug below the mountain top position, and then the Vietnamese army takes a while to transport a lot of explosives... just waiting to attract us to the top of the mountain position, and then
Put this on the fuse...
Bayonet couldn't help but cursed: "What a fool, we almost died without even knowing what happened!"
Captain Luo patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are really a damn lucky general. Even the tunnels that the Japanese have worked so hard to build will blow up for you..."
Okay! I really didn’t mean it.
However, if there is a first time, there may be a second time. This also reminds us that we must be careful about the Japanese devils doing such tricks in the future.
"Calculate the casualties from each unit!" After the Japanese gunfire stopped, Captain Luo gave the order into the walkie-talkie.
So after working with communication ropes and walkie-talkies for a while, the casualty information was finally compiled.
Captain Luo seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at the book in his hand with a flashlight and laughed: "Comrades! None of us died in this battle, but unfortunately two people were injured..."
"Well, there are two more injured?" The soldiers couldn't help being surprised when they heard this. Just now we could say that we were fighting quickly and retreating quickly. We withdrew into the tunnel almost before the Vietnamese army could react, so two more people would be injured.
It's really strange.
"The two injured people..." Captain Luo smiled and revealed the answer: "It was because they ran too fast during the retreat...one fell and the other sprained!"
With a roar, the tunnel was immediately filled with laughter.
"Comrades!" Captain Luo continued: "This battle was well fought! Although we don't know how many Vietnamese soldiers were killed or wounded, at least we made them understand that we will not betray the Japanese. Don't worry, they are under our noses."
Build fortifications. More importantly... we must also thank our artillery comrades... Their artillery fire was fast and accurate, and they burned a large area of the Japanese forest in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" The soldiers cheered.
In fact, this is my main purpose...Incendiary bombs can be burned no matter where they are, and the rainy season has just begun, and the trees have not been penetrated much by the rain, so the incendiary bombs burned to ashes in one hit.
, it’s a pity... because of the rain, the fire cannot spread over a large area, otherwise the Vietnamese would have to go to other highlands to transport wood to build tunnels. (To be continued...)
