581 Highland... When we saw 581 Highland again, we couldn't help but sigh...
Only one day ago, this 581 Highland was our home and the shelter on which I survived, but now... it has become an enemy's position and a highland we want to capture.
It is not difficult to reach the 581 Highlands... The focus of the attack of the Vietnamese army was our 118th Regiment. In other locations, such as the 117th Regiment and the 119th Regiment, only a small number of troops were attacking.
The effect of attacking in such weather is conceivable. Although the rain has not been heavy these days, the foot is muddy. This can almost be said to be a natural way to delay the action of the Vietnamese army.
Barbed wire. In addition, most of the artillery soldiers in nearby troops are allocated to the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, so there are very few artillery soldiers available to other Vietnamese troops.
So there will inevitably be a result: the attacks of other Vietnamese troops have basically made no progress, and only the fifth Vietnamese infantry division advanced a few kilometers northwards.
Actually... I think this is a tactic of the Vietnamese army. The other direction is just a feint attack. The purpose is not to capture any high ground, but to prevent our army from cloning its support for the 118th Regiment.
But this will result in one result: the attack of the fifth infantry division of the Vietnam Army formed a protrusion, a protrusion that broke into our defense line.
So... it is actually very convenient for us to penetrate the rear of the Fifth Division of the Vietnamese Infantry Division. Just bypassing this protrusion, advance from the defense line of the 119th Regiment and then inserting from the flank at a suitable position.
The Sino-Vietnam border is full of jungles and mountains, and our army has mines buried on the main roads and small roads. The Vietnamese army has no time to clean up, so it is not difficult to do this. We only need to get from the engineers of the 119th Regiment.
Please ask for a mine map, then follow the map and turn left and right in the jungle... After more than two hours, I arrived at the foot of the mountain in Heights 581.
Hiding in the jungle, I summoned the cadres in the company to gather together, and the guards spread a special super-heavy rain cloth above our heads... The purpose of this is very obvious, one is to make it inside.
The light from the flashlight will not leak out, but it is to block most of the sound.
"Comrades!" I put a flashlight inside and said, "Maybe everyone has guessed it, we are back... Our goal is Highland 581!"
Except for the deputy company commander Zhang Zuoliang, everyone else nodded with a hint of confusion on his face.
"Company Commander!" Scar replied, "I really want you to calculate it correctly. We really want to return to this 581 high ground!"
"Yes!" The scholar nodded and said, "Fortunately we made some arrangements on the 581 Highland in advance, otherwise we, the black-toned one, would have to take some time to grab the 581 Highland!"
"Some arrangements?" Zhang Zuoling was confused when he listened to the soldiers' words.
"It's these!" I explained: "Before the Vietnamese army launched an attack, our base was Highland 581. Before we retreated, we buried a batch of explosives in important parts of the highland..."
"Oh!" Zhang Zuoliang suddenly realized, and then said happily: "Then is this 581 high ground?"
"The question is not whether we can take down the 581 high ground!" I said: "But whether we can defend it. Our superiors ask us to stay here for a day..."
Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but gasp and held on for a day without reinforcements... This is the hinterland of the Vietnamese Japanese! There is no doubt that this place will be besieged by the Vietnamese troops from all directions...
"Comrades!" At this time, the instructor spoke: "The superior will hand over such an important task to us, that is, trust in us! So we should not consider whether we can defend it. Simply put... it is to guard it...
We must guard even if we can, and we must guard even if we can! As soldiers and members of the ** team, we must firmly stand firm and unwavering our position and make up our minds to complete the task. Even if we bleed and sacrifice, we will do whatever we want.
And you can't be confused and hesitate..."
I understood this when I heard it. What the instructor said was aimed at me... This is to say that my position is not firm!
I couldn't help but smile... The instructor was obviously dissatisfied with me being promoted to company commander so quickly, but he was still an instructor, or it could be said... He was not very suitable for me, who was still a soldier, now I can
It's normal to be on par with him, so I feel a little unhappy.
But on this issue... some things, especially things on the battlefield, are enough to rely solely on determination. If you can win a battle with great determination, you can survive... Then we should just stop holding anything before the war.
, Just talking about politics is better than determination!
The soldiers were all people who fought wars, so of course they knew these truths. In addition, on the battlefield, the instructors usually hid in caves where ammunition was stored for the most part, and there were two guards protecting them...
I have never eaten the bitterness in this tunnel and have never experienced the battle with the enemy, so what he said naturally is not worth much. This can be seen from the soldiers' ignorance of their attitude, which makes the instructor feel boring.
, after saying a while, he stopped talking.
"This is my idea!" As soon as I took over the instructor's words, the soldiers' souls that were about to fly away were quickly retracted, and their eyes soon became energetic.
This is not only because I am their brother who lives and dies, but also because the soldiers know in their hearts... If the company commander doesn't listen carefully, it may directly affect his life or
The casualty rate of the troops under his command.
The gap between the two of them was so big that the instructor felt that he was redundant and looked unhappy on the side.
But who will care about him at this time? If this is in the back... Then someone may say a few clichés with him or get close to him in order to be a cadre. But this is a battlefield that kills people, who will do this?
Will be willing to joke about your life for these forms of things.
"This battle is indeed very serious!" I said: "But there are still some aspects that are beneficial to us, such as the terrain... After all, we have been confronting the Vietnamese Japanese on this high ground for more than a month, and we have been on this high ground.
Yimu is very familiar with it, and even has a lot of experiences of lurking at night, and the Vietnamese army... basically came up just now!"
"The company commander is right!" Liang Lianbing nodded and said, "Those Yue Japanese who confronted us... died almost because of robbing the top position when the attack was launched. The Yue Japanese people on this should be the Yue Japanese people at this moment
The soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Division!”
"Well!" I continued, "So this is our strength, and using this strength... it is not difficult for us to hold our position at night."
"Yes!" Scar agreed: "After we take down the 581 Highland, we just need to fight like before, and use the inside and outside of the tunnel to cooperate... lurking outside and pitching grenades, the Japanese who came up were thousands of troops.
I'm afraid I may not be able to take it!"
"On the contrary, it is possible that the more you fight, the more chaotic it is!" The scholar added: "Let them come a few more friendly casualties, so let's hide beside you and watch the fun!"
"The only problem is the recruits!" I said: "So all units must explain the key points of the battle to the recruits, especially those who are responsible for lurking outside the tunnel. At that time, the entire group may be exposed due to the small movements of one or two comrades.
The troops... this must be implemented clearly!"
"clear!"
"clear!"
...
"The bigger problem is during the day!" I said: "When we were confronting the Vietnamese Japanese on the 581 Highland, we occupied the top position during the day to gain space for activity, but now... we are in the encirclement of the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army is facing each other.
Our attack can be said to come from all directions. If we want to defend the position on the top of the mountain, we are afraid that it will be very difficult! If necessary... we can only hide in the tunnel and fight against the enemy!"
Hearing this, the soldiers couldn't help but gasp... You know, in the past, the Yue Japanese could not find the exact location of our tunnel because the top of the mountain was in our hands during the day, and the Yue Japanese could only look for it in the dark at night.
...
But now, we are hiding in the tunnel during the day to fight against the Yue Japanese... Then, after being discovered by the Yue Japanese, we will let them play with it?
"Company Commander!" The scholar said with a look of surprise: "I also hide in the tunnel during the day... How can I fight?"
"Yes, company commander!" Liang Lianbing said with confusion: "This U-shaped tunnel is fine...a small tunnel, once it is discovered, you can throw a few grenades and it's over!"
"Company Commander!" Even Scar said: "You know that our U-shaped tunnel can only accommodate up to twenty people, we have made three... If this were not the case before, now our company has more than one hundred.
Number person..."
"Let's take one step at a time!" I said helplessly: "The current task is to take down the 581 Highland and guard until dawn!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded.
To be honest, this is the first time... I feel helpless about the coming battle.
How to keep this daytime?
When the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the Volunteer Army did guard the tunnel under the American plane and cannon... We have watched the movie "Shangganling" since we were young, right?
But that was in North Korea. The low temperature in North Korea caused the frozen soil everywhere, and the sky was often not rain but snow... Such a climate environment allowed the volunteers to dig an underground Great Wall on the high ground. It is said that the volunteers dug at that time.
There are also warehouses, toilets and other things in the tunnel!
But here we... there is rain and mud everywhere, and it would be nice to dig the tunnel like this.
But what I didn't expect was... There is a saying that "there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain, and the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge." Sometimes, when fighting, you really have to take one step at a time!
