I couldn't help but faint when I heard the company commander's words.
The reason why I fainted was not because I knew that the Japanese were attacking the artillery camp, but because the battle had been going on for so long and the company commander didn't even know that the Japanese were attacking the artillery camp.
It's normal for us soldiers not to know. Isn't it normal for soldiers to eat well and sleep, take on missions when there are missions, and kill enemies when there are enemies... Then we don't know what deployments and plans are. Isn't that right? What is this artillery battalion?
None of us who came to our army's flank at that time knew it.
Later I found out that the artillery battalion had arrived in Lao Cai less than two hours ago.
Therefore, it is normal for us soldiers not to know that the Vietnamese army is attacking the artillery battalion.
However, the company commander is different. The company commander knows much more information and arrangements than we do.
For example, just now, listening to the company commander's tone, he clearly knew that the artillery battalion was in the northeast, but he didn't know where the Vietnamese army's main attack direction was. Even when I clearly reminded him that the gunfire in the northeast was denser, he still
No response. It wasn't until I asked that too straightforward question... that he realized the point of this battle!
From this point of view, the company commander's overall view is not ordinary! He seems to only know how to deal with the Vietnamese army in front of him. He only knows how to simply and mechanically kill the enemy with troops, but he does not analyze the situation of the entire battlefield.
, of course, we don’t know that the Vietnamese army in front of us actually just wants to block us from reinforcements...
But before I could finish my sigh, I heard the company commander shout: "First row! Rush over to me..."
"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and rushed over in this situation?
The platoon leader obviously also had doubts about this order, or maybe he didn't hear the order because the gunfire was too loud...
However, the company commander waved his pistol and ordered again: "Why are you still standing there? The Vietnamese Japanese are attacking our artillery battalion. Immediately break through the enemy's fire network and go to reinforce!"
"Yes!" In desperation, the platoon leader replaced the submachine gun in his hand with a new magazine and gritted his teeth and shouted: "Comrades! For the sake of the motherland and for victory, charge!"
"Come on!"
…
They really rushed forward like that... I looked in disbelief at the soldiers holding guns and charging at the muzzles of the Vietnamese army in the open area.
The machine gun rang out soon, and bullets rained down on the soldiers like raindrops. Flowers of blood rose up, and the soldiers fell one by one, and pools of blood burst out...
I was stunned for a moment in front of this tragic scene, but only for a moment.
This is an opportunity for me, an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and also an opportunity to survive.
Why is it said to be a chance to survive?
The unit called up by the company commander is a platoon. After the platoon is finished, whose turn is it?
Of course it’s the second row, I’m in the second row!
Therefore, if you want to survive, escape quickly before the company commander gives the order! Otherwise, the soldiers in the platoon will be my role model.
What's more, I believe that at this time, even the Vietnamese machine gunners who were staring at me were busy shooting at the charging People's Liberation Army. If I didn't leave at this time, I would have no chance.
Thinking of this, I ducked out from behind the small bag of dirt. I only heard the company commander yelling and cursing from behind, but I just pretended not to hear it.
When I passed the few soldiers under my command, I shouted to them: "Everyone is here, follow me!"
"Yes!" Most of them responded to my order, except for a few scared recruits, and among them was Shen Guoxin, who claimed to be a hero...
I was so anxious, seeing that the charging platoon was about to be wiped out, and the Vietnamese army's firepower would shoot at us again, so I shouted to the scared recruits: "I want to live." Just follow me!”
"Yes!" Now the recruits reacted, and they all packed up their rifles in a panic and followed.
I didn't have time to care about them anymore, I spread my legs and ran towards the houses on the left wing at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
There is no doubt that staying in the open land will lead to death, and the only way to survive is to hide in private houses.
And I know that the Vietnamese army should have divided up a few people to occupy these houses, leaving us with only one way to retreat to the school building. In that case, there would be an open area of several hundred meters wide between us and the Vietnamese army. Let alone break through their fire blockade.
But it was obvious that the Vietnamese army was not prepared.
As for why the Vietnamese army was not prepared... Don't think too much, it must have been the thief's unexpected shot that triggered the battle prematurely.
So we still have a chance to break through the Vietnamese defense line and reinforce the artillery battalion.
To be honest, I really don’t want to do this... Looking at the guns and cannons everywhere, I can’t help but have the urge to run as far as I can. But although I am timid, I am not stupid either... We A few soldiers ran away and other soldiers died on the battlefield. What will happen to us?
Therefore, there is only one way to survive. Deserting is also necessary. If you don't escape, you will die under the random command of the company commander. But the purpose of escaping is to break through the Japanese defense line and to kill the enemy better... ...No one will say that we are deserters!
The private house was only a few hundred meters away from us, and we arrived in a few minutes as we ran like crazy. When we got to the door, I didn't dare to stop for long. I kicked the door open with a bang and rushed in.
After entering, I couldn't help but be stunned. I bumped into a Vietnamese soldier who also rushed in. He obviously came to seize the firepower point. No one expected to meet like this. After being stunned, the two of them raised their guns almost at the same time, and the gunfire sounded. It rang almost at the same time, but it was the Yue Japanese who fell, but nothing happened to me...
The reason is that I remember what the old man said.
This is what he told me at the time: "If you accidentally encounter an enemy, don't shoot him in the head when you raise your gun, but shoot him in the stomach!"
I asked stupidly: "Why?"
The old man didn't say much, and punched me hard in the stomach. I screamed and my whole body arched up like a shrimp.
"Do you know why?" the old man asked.
I didn't have the energy to answer, so I could only nod with difficulty. In fact, I didn't know anything. At that time, I only knew that I hated the old man to the core. I was only fifteen years old, did I need such a hard punch? Really? Am I your son?
Now that I think about it, fortunately, the pain of that punch left a deep impression on me, so I would pull the trigger on the enemy's belly without thinking.
It wasn’t until this moment that I really knew the answer to the question…
At this distance, with both sides raising their guns almost at the same time, there is no way to stop the other side from shooting. Even if my bullet hits the other side's vitals first, the other side will fire due to the collapse of his muscles before death.
So in this case, both of them usually die together, except for one situation, which is to hit the stomach.
First of all, hitting the opponent in the stomach will be half a beat faster than the opponent. Secondly, hitting the opponent in the stomach will make the opponent's body arch like a shrimp. As soon as his body arches... the bullet will be shot to the ground under my feet.
Just when I was secretly glad to have escaped, another Vietnamese soldier unexpectedly came out... Soon after, a black shadow flashed past and I saw that the Vietnamese soldier's throat had been slit, and he covered his throat in pain with both hands.
, seemed to want to block the blood that kept spurting out, but was unable to do anything. He only made a clucking sound like a killing chicken and slowly knelt down, then fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.
We were all shocked by the tragic death of this Vietnamese soldier, even Bayonet and I and other people who had been on the battlefield were no exception, because even though we had killed people, we had seen the enemy die in front of us, but we had never
I have seen enemies die slowly and painfully in this way...
Looking at the person who did it, it was Chen Yiyi. She was holding a bloody military thorn in her hand. She was as calm as a person who was fine, which only made the soldiers' hearts skip a beat.
I don’t know what other people think. I only know that at that time, for some reason, a thought came into my mind: What if I married this woman? One day, I had a quarrel and annoyed her, and she slapped me on the neck like this...
…
"Squad leader!" Chen Yiyi dragged me out of my daze: "What should I do now?"
"Hmm!" I thought for a while and then asked Chen Yiyi: "Are you familiar with this terrain?"
"Familiar!" Chen Yiyi nodded without thinking: "I have lived here for five years, and I know it like the back of my hand!"
"Very good!" I said: "Take us to attack the flanks of the Yue Jap immediately, and cooperate with the main force to attack from a flank!"
The reason why I say this is because I know very well that the already disorganized company commander will still command his soldiers to continue attacking, so our attack on the flank of the Vietnamese army will undoubtedly be a flanking attack on the Vietnamese army.
"Yes!" Chen Yiyi responded, holding a gun and leading the way.
But something went wrong at this time. Wang Kechang looked at the two corpses on the ground and cried "Wow": "I won't go, I don't want to die...I, I will not serve as a soldier, I will not take responsibility for my crimes and perform meritorious services! I
I need to go back to the juvenile detention center..."
Wang Kechang's crying quickly spread the infection, and several recruits including Li Zuolong showed timidity in their eyes.
"Squad leader!" Shen Guoxin said with some embarrassment: "You said... we all had a narrow escape from death. We managed to escape here. Why... why do we have to go up there?"
"Yes! Squad leader..." Xu Guochun had already thought of all the excuses. He suggested: "Let's just stay here. We also killed two Vietnamese Japanese, right? When the battle is over... let's just
Carry the body out..."
"Shut up!" To be honest, Xu Guochun's suggestion was very tempting. After all, having corpses can prove that we are fighting the Japanese and not deserters, right?
But I know that two Vietnamese corpses are not enough... It is very likely that our second platoon is charging in the open field now. If we don't attack, the first platoon and the second platoon will all be sacrificed, and only my squad will be left.
They were full, except for the two enemy corpses, not even a hair of our own was missing... Who would believe this!
More importantly, it feels bad to think that Scar and the others are bleeding and dying outside, while we are here thinking about how to save our lives.
So I held the gun in my hand and said to the recruits: "You can stay here, but don't say you are my Yang Xuefeng's soldiers again! I will not be responsible for your life or death!"
He turned around and left without paying any attention to them.
