Later I learned that there were mixed opinions in the army about Chen Yiyi and I kissing publicly on the battlefield.
Company Commander Luo sighed: This is the most beautiful scenery on the battlefield!
The instructor frowned and cursed with three words: Disgraceful!
Most of the soldiers are envious, but of course there is also jealousy... Speaking of which, these nine sons of dragons are different. There are so many people in the army. How can I make everyone convinced of me?
But having said that, if Chen Yiyi likes someone else instead of me, and then follows her on the battlefield, I'm afraid I will be jealous to death.
What surprised us most was that we were originally waiting to die on this battlefield... There was simply not enough ammunition to withstand another charge by the Vietnamese army, and there were no more artillery shells, so we couldn't do it again like we just did.
However, after waiting and waiting, no Yue Japs were seen coming up. The company commander raised his binoculars and looked at the foot of the mountain, and said somewhat strangely: "The Yue Japs... seem to have retreated. They may have really retreated this time!"
In disbelief, I raised my binoculars and looked down the mountain. There was really nothing on the road at the foot of the mountain. There were neither bayonets nor machine guns of the Vietnamese army. There were only a dozen Vietnamese soldiers busy, alone in the middle of the road.
There were two cars parked, piled with corpses, either bright red or charred black.
The bright red ones were caused by shells and bullets, and the scorched ones were caused by incendiary bombs.
Look at the car again, its butt is facing north and its head is facing south, and the engine is still running. It seems that it drove away as soon as the situation was not right...
"Really? You really don't want to fight against the Japanese?"
"Is the Yue Japanese really going to retreat?"
…
At this time, the soldiers all became energetic and saved their lives, right? Can anything be more exciting than this?
But this time, the company commander no longer dared to give them a definite answer. Instead, he advised the soldiers from the side: "Comrades, don't get excited yet, stay in fighting condition, and wait and see!"
"Hey!" Xu Guochun, who loves to joke, joked: "The Japanese are really interesting. Our platoon leader hugged the squad leader and kissed them...and they ran away!"
With a coaxing sound, the soldiers were all amused by these words.
"From now on, whenever there is a war, let us be the platoon leader..."
Xu Guochun originally wanted to say more, but Chen Yiyi gave him a sharp look and swallowed the rest of his words.
I felt funny in my heart, and thought to myself that Xu Guochun was too ignorant, and he didn't even think about which class or platoon he was in. If I had been more narrow-minded, he would have offended both the squad leader and the platoon leader with just one sentence.
But I don’t care about it so much. On the one hand, it’s also because I know that things in this area will always become darker and darker. If I don’t talk about it, people will gradually not take it seriously. More importantly... I put more information at this time.
More energy is focused on whether the Yue Japanese retreat is true or false.
After thinking about it for a while, I thought that the retreat of the Japanese Japs was real.
First of all, although the Vietnamese know that our army is short of ammunition, they do not know that our army has almost no ammunition. Isn’t this? The entire army only has a hundred rounds of ammunition left, and these bullets are loaded into the AK47.
It was all done in two hits. According to the probability that hundreds of rounds of bullets in World War II could only kill one enemy, our bullets couldn't even kill one enemy.
Secondly, the Vietnamese do not know that our mortars are out of shells. Isn’t this right? Just now our mortar company bombed hard for seven or eight minutes. According to ordinary people’s thinking, if there are not enough shells
If so, we would divide these shells into two parts and blast them for three or four minutes each time! Who thought we would shoot all the shells in one go?
Again, I looked at my watch and saw that more than half an hour had passed and our reinforcements were about to arrive.
Therefore, the Japanese will think: Our artillery has been taken away. There is no artillery to suppress the enemy's mortars. The tanks have also been blown up, and they cannot suppress the enemy's firepower. In addition, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon.
...Then why fight this battle? Retreat!
It's right for the Japanese to think this way, but they don't know... We are even waiting for death on this high ground. They only need to take another step and launch another charge, and they will find that the facts are not at all what they thought.
It's so difficult, they can avenge their comrades, and even after seizing Highland 239, they can rely on their position to give our army reinforcements a ruthless attack.
But fortunately none of this happened...
At this time, I seemed to understand that it was not just us who found it difficult on the battlefield. When we persisted in resisting with our last breath, the enemy also persisted.
The only difference is that we insist on defending, while the enemy insists on attacking.
Sometimes the victory or defeat on the battlefield does not depend on which side has the advantage, but on which side can persist to the end.
Isn't it? This battle can be said to be a completely asymmetrical battle. The Vietnamese army is greatly superior to us in terms of military strength, firepower, and physical strength. They could have won, but they lost because they did not persist to the end.
"Company Commander! Company Commander!" At this time, correspondent Xiao Liu ran all the way along the traffic trench, excitedly shouting to the company commander and to us: "Reinforcements are coming, they are our troops! Reinforcements are coming...
"
"Okay!" At this time, the soldiers dared to cheer loudly with confidence.
After the cheers, they hugged each other tightly to celebrate, whether they were acquaintances or strangers, some soldiers even cried with joy.
The friendship of comrades-in-arms is like this. We don’t need to know each other well, nor do we need to have common hobbies and interests, but our relationship is closer than that of brothers. The reason is very simple, because we rely on each other and experience together.
Life and death on the battlefield.
People who have never fought on the battlefield cannot understand the joy of surviving a disaster, nor can they imagine how much the soldiers love their lives. For us, sometimes there is even an undignified thought: as long as
If I can live... I'm willing to be a cow or a horse!
"Comrades!" Then the company commander shouted to us again with a walkie-talkie: "Be ready to hand over the position. Our superiors ordered us to hand over the position to the reinforcements. Let's go back to the camp to rest!"
"Okay!" the soldiers responded loudly, raising their guns and fists excitedly, seeming to have forgotten all their fatigue and pain.
Ten minutes later, the troops who took over the defense came up. Some people recognized them as soldiers from the second battalion. After they walked into our trench along the traffic trench, they all looked at the piles of corpses and several vehicles still in front of the position.
The wreckage of the tank, which was smoking, stood in a daze.
Seeing their dumbfounded looks, the soldiers all had proud smiles on their faces. Some soldiers even laughed loudly at the new troops: "Hey! Comrade! We didn't even see any reinforcements when we were fighting.
, now we have beaten all the devils away, you can come faster than anyone else!"
With a roar, the soldiers all laughed wildly at the new soldiers.
The soldiers in the second battalion knew what was going on. Although they were much more numerous than us, and all of them were brightly armed, they knew we were laughing at them, but they didn't even dare to fart.
So sometimes who bullies whom is not entirely a matter of asymmetry in strength, but whether they can overpower the other person mentally and with momentum.
Company Commander Luo is a relatively cautious person. Although the soldiers of the second battalion carried orders from their superiors, he still used the walkie-talkie to inquire with the regiment headquarters. Finally, he confirmed that it was when this unit changed defenses with us, and then issued the order.
Order to retreat.
I believe that many soldiers were thinking the same thing as me when they were fighting, that is, they hoped to leave this hellish battlefield as soon as possible, and even wanted to never come back. However, when it is time to leave now, the soldiers and I
But they hesitated. The soldiers all looked reluctantly at the high ground for which they had shed blood, at the trenches that we had built with our own hands but were blown into disarray by the enemy's artillery fire, and at the ones who would lie on the position forever.
Comrades who can’t go back either…
Feelings are really weird sometimes. The more a person pays for something or someone, and the more hardships he endures, the deeper his feelings for such something or someone will be. Regarding this point, I
I have experienced this deeply in modern times, and it is precisely because I know this that when I am picking up girls, I always try to make girls pay something for me, because I know that only in this way can I slowly make her have feelings for me.
.
But now, I find that I have feelings for this battlefield, because what we pay here is life and blood.
"Salute!" the company commander shouted at us. The soldiers stood up straight and saluted the corpse on the position. After a long time, they walked back along the traffic trench under the leadership of the company commander.
.
All the soldiers we met along the way cast admiring glances at us and consciously made way for us. Some soldiers even stood aside and gave us a military salute. This was the first time.
, we felt the sincere respect from our comrades, and also realized the benefits of fighting a victorious battle.
"Platoon leader!" Wang Kechang muttered next to me while we were still on the road: "We...can't go down like this! Let's take something with us as a souvenir! If someone asks...we don't know anything."
The evidence says we fought this battle!”
"No..." I nuzzled at the corpses of several enemy soldiers beside the traffic ditch and said, "There is still a chance! Do it yourself!"
"Yes!" The soldiers responded excitedly, and they actually attacked the corpses. Some took off the Vietnamese army's sidearms, some took off the Vietnamese army's armed belts, and in the end there was nothing left.
Just tear off the collar insignia of the Vietnamese army.
Chen Yiyi didn't take anything. She didn't have the slightest interest in them. If she did, she would only be disgusted.
I didn’t take anything, because I think the most important thing is - we have gone down the mountain, and we are still alive!

I would like to use the above chapter to pay tribute to all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion and 6th Company of the 116th Regiment of the 13th Army of the People's Liberation Army.
During the Dai Nai blockade to block the enemy's foreign aid, the unit, in a coordinated operation with the 1st Battalion and 2 Company of the 117th Regiment, launched a desperate battle with the Vietnamese ace 316A Division on Dai Nai's nameless heights. In the bloody battle for two days and one night
After repelling 18 crazy attacks by the Vietnamese army in a row, the Dai Nai Highlands stood firm despite my heroic blocking. The "Dainai Blocking Battle" also became an immortal example in the history of our army's war against Vietnam. For this reason, the Kunming Military Region Party Committee
The unit was commended for first-class collective merit, and the 6th company was awarded the honorary title of "Heroic Company Able to Attack and Defend".
