We finally arrived at our destination...the position of the 9th Artillery Battalion.
But just as I thought, all we can see is a mess: looking at the bright red past, some are blood, some are fire... The blood is the blood of the soldiers, and the fire is the fire of cars and artillery. In this bright red
After searching, we can find corpses piled randomly in the camp like lifeless sacks.
Obviously, the soldiers of the artillery battalion were eating when the Vietnamese army launched their attack... What they were eating was not compressed biscuits, nor canned food, but rice... authentic rice, and vegetable soup. These are all important to us.
Things that I never dreamed of were scattered all over the floor here.
Why can artillerymen get food?
The reason is actually very simple. They have cars! Every cannon needs to be pulled by a car, right? It wouldn't be too easy to just put some supplies or cooking utensils on the car.
There is another reason: the treatment of artillerymen is not comparable to that of our infantrymen. The most miserable, tiring, and dangerous ones in the army are the infantrymen. Isn’t this right? The Vietnamese Japanese we are directly facing at the front
As for the machine guns and cannons, the artillerymen are firing according to the coordinates at the back...
Speaking of danger! Yes, after firing a few more shots, our army's artillery position will most likely be discovered by the Vietnamese, and the artillery position will become a target for enemy bombing.
But everyone knows that the number of artillery in our army is several times that of the Vietnamese army. This is also due to the Soviet Union... The Soviet Union is a country that attaches great importance to the development of artillery. At this time, most of the weapons and equipment of our army imitated the Soviet Union, so they also inherited it.
Because the Soviet system attached great importance to the development of artillery, and even outperformed the old, our army's artillery firepower composition had already surpassed that of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, on the battlefield of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, our army's artillery has always suppressed the Vietnamese army, especially after our army introduced two artillery sighting radars.
However, it is precisely for this reason that the soldiers of the artillery battalion were lax in their defense.
Just like this... I followed the team and walked forward. The corpses I saw along the way didn't have guns in their hands. Most of them had chopsticks and bowls. Some soldiers even had their mouths filled with blood after they died.
Rice dyed red...
I looked at the distribution of corpses around me and could roughly imagine the scene of the battle.
The Vietnamese army surrounded the camp before launching an attack. The purpose was to prevent the artillery battalion from having any opportunity to organize resistance.
When the Vietnamese army rushed in, the artillerymen never thought that an enemy would appear in front of them at this time.
The soldiers on the outer layer were killed by the enemy's guns before they even understood what was going on.
The people in the middle wanted to get guns... but only a limited number of people did it in a hurry. These people lay on the ground and fought back, but compared with the dense bullets poured at them by the enemy, it was a drop in the bucket and had no suppressive effect at all.
.In the end, all resistance turned into sacrifices in various postures, lying on pillows and pillows, everywhere on and off the car.
The people on the inside not only have time to hold guns, but also have time to find bunkers or escape... Not to mention that the People's Liberation Army cannot escape, soldiers who do not think about their lives can only survive in TV, movies or novels.
Their bunkers were rows of cars or cannons, and the only places they could hide were under cars, in cabs, or behind cannons. Unfortunately, although these things could be used as bunkers, they were also sources of explosions.
The Vietnamese agents didn't need to attack them at all. They only needed to fire a few incendiary bombs at the cars or artillery, and it turned into a disaster...
The soldiers did not dare to approach the burnt corpses, let alone imagine how they wailed before they died. However, they did not receive any order to retreat, so they could only stand among the blood and corpses.
Neither forward nor backward.
"Wow!"
…
Soon, as if it was contagious, the soldiers vomited out one after another in the air full of the smell of burnt and blood. Not only the new queens, but even the veterans who had fought and seen red were no exception.
.
I also want to vomit, but I don’t know why I can’t.
Because at this time I was regretting... Why didn't I catch up with the Cyclops when I saw him running away just now? Why did I just watch him run away like that? I should have captured him alive, and then used a knife to cut off his flesh piece by piece, like this
Only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!
Other troops also arrived one after another. Seeing the scene in front of them, none of them said a word, or they couldn't bear to vomit.
I don’t know who shouted: “Damn it! Let’s take revenge on the Japanese Japanese!”
This suggestion soon received a strong response from the soldiers, so the soldiers raised their hands and shouted:
"Yes, take revenge on the Japanese Japs!"
"Fight them!"
"Avenge the comrades of the artillery battalion!"
…
In an instant, the crowd was surging and the crowd was furious. Then as a cadre gave an order, all the soldiers followed with guns in hand... I could only watch me stunned for a moment.
Do they know where the Yue Japanese are? Or do they know where the Yue Japanese are escaping?
If you don't even know where they are...how can you take revenge on them?
I was even surprised to find that our company commander also shouted and ordered us to follow...
Fortunately, the group leader appeared at the right time.
"Comrades!" the regiment leader stood on the head of a disabled car, waving his hands and shouting to us: "Everyone, be quiet! We must repay the blood debt owed by the Japanese, but not at this time!
Reckless actions will not work. We must keep a clear head and formulate a detailed battle plan, otherwise we will only make ourselves confused and suffer greater losses! We must turn our sorrow over the heinous crimes committed by the Vietnamese Japanese.
For the sake of strength, let the Vietnamese Japs pay with their blood!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
…
The soldiers shouted and shouted over and over again.
In fact, if we look at this matter objectively... I also know that this is a battlefield. On the battlefield, we kill the enemy and the enemy kills us. That seems to be a natural thing. If it were me... I encountered such a good opportunity for a sneak attack
I will also not let go of the enemy and will kill them in a big way.
Therefore, it seems a bit unreliable to talk about crimes and blood debts.
But we on the battlefield, facing the corpses of so many comrades, watching the tragic death of so many comrades...how can we think about these truths.
At that time, we had only one belief - the Japanese Japs have killed so many of us, so we will risk our lives to fight you!
Later, I learned from Scar the detailed plan of the Vietnamese army to attack our artillery camp:
The Vietnamese agents dispatched this time had a reinforced company. One platoon was used to block the 120th Regiment on the right wing of the artillery battalion, and another platoon was used to block the 118th Regiment on the left wing of the artillery battalion, which is my regiment. The other three platoons were
Sneak out the sentries of the artillery battalion from three sides, and then launch a surprise attack...
Of course, the difference in strength between a platoon and a regiment is too great, but the Vietnamese army did not really want to block us or occupy any place. They were just buying time for their main force.
Among the results achieved by the Vietnamese army, one is that two platoons of blocking troops caused a lot of casualties to our army, and the other, more outstanding, is that the three platoons of the artillery battalion sneak attack achieved unprecedented success... The artillery battalion has 18 guns
The towed artillery and 35 vehicles were all bombed, and the death toll was as high as more than 120 people. And this battle... It is said that it only took ten minutes.
This is what surprised me the most and what surprised my superiors the most. Since our army entered Vietnam, although we have encountered hard nails, we have never encountered such an army that is quick to attack and retreat, leaving people unprepared.
Later we learned that this is called "special operations" and the Vietnamese learned it from the Americans. It seems that after decades of fighting, the Vietnamese not only learned things from China, but also learned from their enemies the Americans.
Learned something.
Our army's results are negligible compared with those of the Vietnamese army. Under the sudden firepower of the Vietnamese army, the 120th regiment was still unable to break through the enemy's firepower network after suffering more than 20 casualties. Our army... although the casualties were relatively large,
This is thanks to the company commander's
Command, there were more than 40 casualties, but we also killed the most enemies. Not only did we successfully break through the enemy's fire blockage, but we also annihilated more than 50 enemies. Of course, this also included those who were annihilated by us on the streets.
More than thirty Vietnamese troops retreated.
Therefore, from the perspective of the entire battlefield situation... our army fought the most bravely, and for this our company commander also received recognition and commendation from his superiors...
When I heard the news, I couldn't help but sigh: What the hell is this? The soldiers saw the company commander's performance and knew what kind of person he was, so why did he still reward him?
But I was too lazy to argue with the company commander about this. Only then did I deeply realize how correct it is to say "money, fame and fortune are external things."
There is only one thing I care about now, and there will always be only one thing, and that is to save my life!
Of course, it would be better if I could go back to modern times!
How I wish I could go back to modern times, back to that warm home, back to that peaceful world... No need to fight, no need to stay awake all night, no need to worry about the end of the world if a bullet or shrapnel flies from somewhere.
took his own life.
If I could, if I could go back to modern times, I would be willing to give up everything. I would no longer want any inheritance or beautiful cars and beauties... I would be willing to face the old man every day as punishment!
Damn! What a poisonous oath this is!
However, this is just a dream, a luxury hope... I don't know when I can go back, and I don't know if I can go back, but I do know that I am about to be crushed by this world, and I can't hold on any longer!
