The first group of soldiers from the first battalion led by Deputy Battalion Commander Chen to our main peak position in Gulin Mountain.
It seems that it is not surprising that they will arrive at the main peak of Koolin Mountain as soon as possible. The rescued people of the first battalion are on the main peak. In addition, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen and his group have been paying close attention to these besieged soldiers from the beginning. I heard that these comrades from the first battalion were at the main peak, so there was no reason why they didn’t rush to come up to meet us.
It is said that Deputy Battalion Commander Chen was a little anxious. In order to see these comrades as soon as possible, they completely ignored the consumption of ammunition, grenades and detonators. They could almost be said to be bombing along the way. But this approach seems to be in line with Captain Chen’s intention to consolidate the results of the battle, so he turned a blind eye to their approach as if he didn’t know.
Otherwise, the consumption method of Deputy Battalion Commander Chen and others will not only not reach the main peak, but they will be stopped halfway and will be punished.
This may sound a bit ridiculous. It seems that it is a pleasurable to consume a little ammunition and consume these ammunition. The Japanese devils have laid out many landmines on the way to retreat, so it is certainly necessary to use grenades and other mines to clear mines. It's a country like the Americans, and they even encourage it.
But our country is different. The main reason is that our country is still in a state of poverty, so the consumption of ammunition or the maintenance of arms is still based on arms rather than people.
For example, the artillery observer found that the suspected Japanese tank was lurking... The main problem is that it is "suspected", that is, it is in an uncertain state. This state should be said to occur frequently on the battlefield. The Japanese devils have excellent camouflage skills. The artillery observer can find that Some doubts, but these doubts are not too obvious.
This problem will arise at this time. Is it better to report to my superiors? Or not to report it!
Let me report this. If I read it wrong, that is, there is actually no lurking from the Vietnamese tanks in that place. Then, a single round of artillery fire will be at least tens of thousands. In this era, those tens of thousands are amazing things. So if something goes wrong, it will be more than tens of thousands. If you are punished, you will be punished.
From this point of view, we can also see how simple the soldiers of this era are. They will not think about whether they are winning glory for the country and using the price of their lives to defend Bianqiang. It is normal that sometimes some mistakes will occur. How could the error be punished for it?!
But the reality is so cruel, and there are still many cases of punishment for such problems in our army in this era, which also makes many soldiers face some uncertain goals on the battlefield, such as suspecting that they are the Vietnamese artillery positions, but However, because he was not sure, he did not dare to report to his superiors and thus lost his chances.
The result is that the Vietnamese army's lurking escaped the "eyes" of our scouts again and again and caused casualties to our troops to the extent.
In short, this policy actually violates the principle of "it would rather make mistakes than let go" on the battlefield. That is to say, in order to save funds from some countries, the price paid is the lives of soldiers on the battlefield.
"Captain Yang!" At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen walked up to me. Without saying a word, he held my hand and said, "Thank you so much, thank you. If it weren't for you, these comrades in our camp... Oh, yes Yes, our battalion commander cannot come up to thank you in person because he wants to command the command center. He asked me to tell you that in the future, as long as there is something to use, even if you can do it, all the soldiers of our battalion Go up the sword and go down the sea of fire and never give up!”
"Deputy Battalion Commander Chen is so polite!" I smiled and said, "We are just doing our own job. I think if our troops are in a besieged today, if you have the ability to save us, you will definitely be able to do so. Will do this!"
"What are you saying?" Company Commander Jiang next to him opposed: "With your combined battalion's combat power, who can still surround you!"
"Actually, your combat effectiveness is not weaker than ours at all!" I said, "Just like Class 7..."
When it comes to Class 7, everyone can't help but remain silent, because in addition to four of the nine soldiers of Class 7, five seriously injured soldiers are still on the way to the rear for medical treatment.
However, this is what happened on the battlefield, and casualties are always inevitable, just like the soldiers of our Synthetic Battalion also lost 17 people because of this battle.
Then our Synthetic Battalion and Company Commander Jiang's troops were quickly replaced. Commander Chen meant... The Synthetic Battalion is a precious force of our army, that is, good steel should be used on the blade, like parachuting before. The task of seizing the main peak and cutting off the supply of the Vietnamese army cannot be done, so other troops naturally need to do it. The battle situation is basically stable, and the remaining problem is the problem of the enemy shooting at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at one shot at the other. , in such a battle, there is naturally no need to use a synthetic battalion.
It should be said that what Captain Chen said makes sense. In fact, I also think it is not easy to train the soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion. Although from the perspective of life, the soldiers of our Synthetic Battalion are not nobler than those of ordinary troops, we can Playing a more important role in more important tasks, so I no longer insisted. After handing over the position to Deputy Battalion Commander Chen, I took the soldiers down the mountain.
That is true to the old saying "It is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain". When we go up the mountain, we take a helicopter and then parachuted down. That is, we can't completely understand the hardships of the altitude of more than 1,700 meters in Kolin Mountain. There was no way... We originally wanted to take a helicopter down, but this could actually be done. Although Kuolin Mountain was so steep that it could basically not find a place where we could land, we could use a rope ladder to go up. , by the way, you can practice the subjects for emergency evacuation of soldiers again.
But the problem is that Koolin Mountain is not safe at this time. As Deputy Battalion Commander Chen said, our army only occupied the commanding heights of Koolin Mountain area, and the jungle was full of Vietnamese troops who were injured or were in a hurry to withdraw. , Due to time reasons, we have not come to clean it up yet... In fact, if we really want to clean it up, I am afraid there is no way to clean it up for dozens of days. The reason is that this Kolin Mountain covers only an area of 7 square kilometers and 7 square kilometers. The area plus an altitude of more than 1,700 meters, I don’t know how much of its total area is. In addition, the forests and grass are dense and there are castles and tunnels everywhere, so it’s difficult to clear the Vietnamese army hiding here. It is conceivable.
So it becomes very dangerous if we want to take a helicopter down the mountain, because it means that the helicopter must be lowered to a height close to the ground. If there are Vietnamese troops hiding around, any rocket launcher or several bullets will be It may be dangerous to helicopter institutions.
We have lost a helicopter in the battle, so of course we will not put the helicopter and even our own lives in danger in order to save effort or be quick.
That is, the best way is to walk down the mountain. In fact, this is also the safest method. The reason is that Company Commander Jiang and others said that they would take on the task of opening the way for our army to reconnaissance.
This reconnaissance is to walk ahead to explore the road and step on the mines for us. Corps Jiang and others have just come down from the battlefield. They can even be said to have been trapped for many days and have been lucky enough to come back alive. So what about us?
I have the heart to let them do a job like stepping on landmines.
However, with the insistence of Company Commander Jiang and other soldiers, we finally compromised.
According to Company Commander Jiang, if we had not had our synthetic battalion, they would have either been starved and frozen in the surrounding area of the Vietnamese army, or they had been surrounded and annihilated by the Vietnamese army. Now they are exploring the way for our synthetic battalion.
What's the point? What's more, the mines along the way have been drained by comrades from the brothers.
After hearing this last sentence, I thought it was... Our army, shelter team and medical team have come up in batches. If there were any mines and bamboo stick arrays, they would have been trampled long ago.
So I stopped persevering.
Who would have thought that the one who caused trouble to us this way down the mountain was not the Vietnamese army, nor the landmines and bamboo sticks, but our own people...
We had not taken a few steps before we met a team of soldiers on the road. They were responsible for searching for the remaining Vietnamese troops along the way to ensure traffic safety, but as soon as we saw us far away, we waved and then surrounded us:
"Comrades, you are from the Synthesis Camp!"
"I heard that you fell to the main peak and took the main peak in one fell swoop. The fight was so good!"
"Don't say that the enemy could not have thought, we were stunned when we heard about it. The terrain of the main peak can also be parachute-down?!"
...
At first we thought this was just an individual phenomenon. Some soldiers were curious, and we were born to worship those troops who could play an important role in the battlefield, so this is understandable.
But what we didn't expect was that, whether it was a containment team, a medical team, or a militia that transported supplies and ammunition, they would come up to greet us enthusiastically when they met us, and even met a war correspondent...
When the reporter met us, he seemed to be picking up a treasure. He was going to rush to the position to take photos without saying a word, and followed the soldiers to ask about this and that, from time to time
Take out the camera I brought with me and shoot it hard.
These are the honors of our military service. Only when we fight well or win the battle will we be recognized by so many people.
But to be honest, when our Synthetic Battalion warriors face all this, they only feel troublesome.
One reason is that the soldiers of the Synthetic Battalion have seen too many such scenes so that they are a little numb.
Another is because we know in our hearts that the real heroes are those soldiers who keep their heroic souls forever on the main peak and lie in the field hospital for life and death. (To be continued...)
ps: I would like to pay tribute to the 126th Regiment of the 42nd Division of the 14th Army that recovered Kolinshan with the above chapters. The regiment took on the main attack mission in the battle to recover Kolinshan. After recovering Kolinshan, it held on Kolinshan for 66 days and smashed the Vietnamese army.
The 192nd counterattack was under the battalion level and suffered more than 18,000 shells, but the soldiers of the 126th Regiment always stood firm. One of the battalions was awarded the title of "Kulinshan Heroes Camp".
