"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" After pausing, Commander Liu continued: "If the Vietnamese Japanese in front of him break through our defense line... the consequences will be unimaginable! The Vietnamese army will soon focus on us and quickly move towards the two wings.
Expand the results of the battle... I am afraid that the security of our entire defense line will be threatened! So... In order to win the entire battle, we decided to shoot a nail behind the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnam Army!"
"581 Height?" I said...
"Yes!" Battalion Commander Luo nodded: "Highland 581 directly threatens the Vietnamese army's logistics supply line. Once the Highland 581 is captured by our army, and then cooperate with our army's artillery fire to block it... it is possible to completely seal the Vietnamese army's third party
The support, supplies and retreat routes of the 5th Infantry Division. Considering that the Second Company is familiar with the 581 Highlands, so..."
"I understand!" I nodded heavily.
This method is indeed feasible. In fact, from the very beginning, I knew that the 581 Highland was the focus of this war, and it was precisely because of this that the explosives were laid when the 581 Highland was withdrawn. But as Battalion Commander Luo said... the 581 Highland Relations
When the life and death of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army was born, the Vietnamese Army would definitely strengthen its defense. Even if we were prepared before, we could successfully capture this high ground... but it is conceivable that the Vietnamese Army would do its best to pull out this nail.
"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Battalion Commander Luo said to me with a little apology on his face: "This battle is likely to be related to the success or failure of the entire battle, so..."
"I understand!" I gritted my teeth and said, "How many artillery soldiers are there to support us? Can they suppress the artillery fire of the Japanese devils?"
"A mortar battalion and a cannon regiment!" said Liu: "There is another artillery company on the way to reinforcements and is expected to arrive in an hour!"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown and said worriedly: "These artillery fire is not enough..."
What I'm telling the truth is that from the intensity of the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army, it is definitely not something that can be dealt with by a compulsive artillery battalion and a cannon regiment. The Japanese in this direction have definitely more artillery than us. Secondly, the Japanese in the Yue Dynasty have definitely more artillery than us.
All the artillery soldiers in the army are veterans, and of course they are not on the same level as those of our army who have not fought in decades.
"It's not enough!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said: "We initially estimate that the Vietnamese army has at least two artillery battalions and one howitzer regiment, but according to my information... In order to provide more accurate and timely artillery support to the front line, the Vietnamese army has a high-quality artillery support.
, and expand the results of the battle in time after opening the breakthrough, so at least four combustible companies crossed the 581 Highland... In other words, as long as you seize the 581 Highland and defend it, the Japanese will soon be at a disadvantage!"
"Well, it's the 581 Heights again!" I have to admit that this plan is feasible.
You should know that the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnam Army is an American Armored Division. Although American equipment has the advantage of high firepower, it also means that all the things in their hands are bullet-eating machines. In fact, the war of this era, no matter how it is
American m16 or Soviet ak47 are both bullet-eating goods. If you really want to save ammunition, it will still belong to our army's 56 and a half.
So in this case, if we can take down the 581 Highland and defend it... the result can be imagined. The 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, which broke into our defense line, will soon lose its combat effectiveness due to poor ammunition success.
Then, after a while, you will soon face the dilemma of exhausting ammunition and food... Of course, this also includes the urgent artillery company that crossed the 581 Highland.
"I have no problem!" I said, "What is the specific plan? When will I start?"
Although I don't want to take on this task, I know that only the second company is more suitable.
"Time is three hours later!" Commander Liu drew a route on the map and said, "You should hurry up and rest during these three hours. After it gets dark, you will bypass the protruding part of the Vietnamese army and enter the 581 flank through the defense line of the 119th Regiment.
We launched an attack at 11:00 tonight. I have contacted the 119th Regiment. They will cooperate with you in the battle and break into the Vietnamese position to seize the 581 Highland! Is there any difficulty?"
"No difficulties!" I said, "Just do it!"
"Second Company Commander!" Battalion Commander Luo held my hand and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Battery Commander, I understand!" I said: "If we don't do this... then our entire army will be in danger, and our second company will not be able to escape, right? Besides, our second company still has experience in fighting fierce battles,
Who else can we give this task to if we don’t give it to?"
"Yes!" Battalion Commander Luo nodded, and finally said only: "Take care!"
"Take care!" I replied and turned around and left.
Actually, I am talking about it easily. It’s not that I am not afraid of fighting with the experience of fierce battles. Instead, the previous fierce battle between Yono and Yakou is vivid in my mind, which makes us feel deep in our hearts.
The fear, but now we still have to face such a fierce battle...
But there is nothing we can do about this. Who made us soldiers?
When I found the troops, the soldiers were already arranged to rest in a camp. Although there were still gunfire sounds from the front line, they were relatively safe because they were in a valley, so the soldiers could feel at ease here.
rest.
A team of militia had already set up tents here and provided food for the soldiers. Medicines and even ammunition were supplemented by militia... This is the benefit of getting close to the border of the motherland. Logistics supply is relatively convenient, so it is not as good as going deep into Vietnam.
It’s like fighting within the country... I’m still hungry while fighting.
Later I found out that these were actually arranged by Battalion Commander Luo for us. After all, he was the company commander of this company, right? He still had feelings for the second company, not to mention that this unit will be sent to execute the nails soon.
The mission is here.
What is a nail task?
Just as Captain Liu said... A nail was laid behind the Vietnamese Japanese. This kind of mission is the most dangerous, and it can even be said to be even more dangerous than deep into the enemy's reconnaissance. In fact, there is no need to say more about the reason, just compare it to understand:
If you go deep into the enemy's reconnaissance, you can also use your ability to disguise or hide in the jungle, etc., and what about nail missions? That is to bite a piece of meat from the enemy, and then find a way to survive the siege of the Vietnamese Japanese...
It is obvious that the danger and combat intensity of these two tasks are incomparable. The troops call this task "nail mission".
"Company Commander!"
"The company commander is back!"
...
As soon as I came back, I was surrounded by the soldiers. Xiao Shitou came up and said to me mysteriously: "Company Commander... do you know what cigarette is given to us this time?"
Then the pack of cigarettes he was holding lit up in front of me and said excitedly: "Look! Da Chongjiu, one pack per person! It is said that it is a reward for us to win the battle!"
"Company Commander! This is yours..." Deputy Company Commander Zhang Zuoliang handed me a pack.
"Yeah!" I took it casually, then tore it apart and pulled it out for myself to click.
The soldiers around were stunned when they looked at it. Xiao Shitou said in confusion: "Company Commander, everyone is giving up, why are you..."
"Um!" I realized that I seemed to have done something wrong, but I didn't want to tell the soldiers so early that there would be dangerous tasks soon...
The reason for this is...one is to keep confidential, and two is to give the soldiers a better rest. If you tell us about the mission tonight now, I am afraid that few people will be able to sleep.
So after thinking about it, I raised my head, pretended to be very arrogant and said, "Go and go... What do you know? I am the company commander, right? I'm going to ask you all..."
With a coaxing sound, the soldiers couldn't help but feel happy when they listened to my words.
"Everyone rest!" I ordered the soldiers: "There will be a mission in three hours!"
My tone was very relaxed, so the soldiers thought that the task in three hours would be something like garrisoning the high ground, so they didn't take it seriously. After saying "yes", they hid in the tent to rest.
I was lying in the tent to toss and turns and couldn't fall asleep. All kinds of experiences after coming to this world flashed in my mind like movie clips... All along, I believed that what I did was right, I was
I am trying my best to save my life and my comrades’ lives, but now I realize... have I really saved my comrades’ lives?
Just like now, because the Second Company has repeatedly set up a battlefield on the battlefield, and because the Second Company can fight..., I have been sent to the most dangerous battlefield again and again. In just over two months, the one around me
The comrades were replaced one by one, and now... how many of them are left in the first batch of comrades? I’m afraid that all ten fingers can count them!
So, I really don't understand whether I helped them or harmed them.
When I woke up in a daze, I saw Zhang Zuoliang shouting in front of me: "Company Commander, Company Commander... the rest time is coming!"
"Um!" I looked sleepy and looked at the sky outside the tent. It was already dark.
I looked at the watch on my wrist with a flashlight. It was 7:20 in the evening, and it was only more than three hours before the scheduled start time. So I turned over and got up, tidied up my equipment and shouted: "Hurry,
Call the soldiers up!"
"Yes!" The rapid whistle sounded quickly, and Zhang Zuoliang roared in his slightly hoarse voice: "All assemble! All assemble..."
The soldiers soon lined up in the open space in front of the tent. I stood in front of them with my gun and said, "Comrades! Bring three base ammunition, food for the day, and no other ones.
, understand?"
The soldiers couldn't help but be stunned and quickly responded: "I understand!"
But in fact, the only ones who really understand are the soldiers of the veterans... This is obviously a prelude to the interweaving.
As for the recruits... it can be seen from their ease that they did not really understand the meaning of this sentence.
