Chapter 22 Reinforcement Mission

"Plane leader!"

"How is it? The platoon leader!"

...

As soon as Captain Li and I returned to the trench, we were surrounded by soldiers. They all looked at me with indignant eyes. Some soldiers even rolled up their sleeves, as if they were ready to go to Captain Zhang to judge!

"Also called the platoon leader..." Captain Li joked at this moment on a whim. After winking at me, he pretended to be unhappy and said, "He is no longer the platoon leader, and I am not the company commander!"

"What? Is it really punished?"

"Dropped?"

"Let's go, let's find the team leader to judge!"

"Yes! Why do we have to be punished if we win the battle? We won't fight this battle anymore!"

"We will be punished as soon as we need to be punished!"

...

After hearing what Commander Li said, the soldiers broke out on the spot. At this time, I noticed that the people from my hometown who were originally squatting in a corner of the trench were not nervous, but turned around and looked at us in confusion. So I understood that if it were just a report from Commander Zhang, the superiors would not have known that I had made contributions along the way. It must have been this guy who was doing it, so he put on Commander Zhang.

Seeing that the soldiers were really going to settle the score with Commander Zhang, Commander Li couldn't help it anymore. He caught up in a few steps and laughed while blocking the soldiers.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Captain Li like this, the soldiers were a little confused. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what was going on.

"Cui Wei..." Captain Li explained intermittently: "He is not the platoon leader... he is the company commander!"

"What, is it the company commander?" The soldiers couldn't believe it, and they turned around and looked at me.

I nodded with a wry smile.

"Is it the company commander of our company?" Shunzi asked again.

I nodded again, and the cheers quickly rang on the battlefield, as if they had won a battle. Yang Songjian and others hugged me enthusiastically to congratulate me.

In fact, I have been the company commander of this company for a long time, but now I am in this position with a legitimate reputation and can be separated from the soldiers, so I feel a different feeling.

"Captain Li..." I walked to Captain Li and wanted to say something. After all, I occupied his position, but he was demoted to a higher level. But he stopped me as soon as I opened my mouth.

"If you are brothers, don't say much!" Corps Li said: "Also, I'm no longer a company commander, call me the deputy company commander!"

I looked at him a little apologetically and said, "I don't know that my superiors will make such arrangements!"

Commander Li patted my shoulder and smiled and said, "You don't know! You feel uncomfortable being your company commander? You command the war all day long, and you can fight and command more than me, the company commander, and I, the company commander, have to listen to you! This battle was won well, but where is my old face put! Others... others secretly call me "Soft Rice" company commander? You know that it's the kind that relies on subordinates to fight..."

"I'm sorry!" I said this from my sincerity. I can feel his pain. I know that he is also a straightforward person. It's really not easy for him to be able to bear this kind of anger with his temper.

"Okay! If you are brothers, don't say this!" Deputy Company Commander Li laughed: "This time I'm relieved. Be your soldier! Never do that 'soft rice' company commander again! Do it well, you can make a few more battalion commanders of the "soft rice" and the "soft rice" regiment commander come out and let me exhale this anger, and I'll be satisfied!"

"Um!" I thought for a while before I understood what the deputy company commander said about the "Soft Rice" battalion commander, and what the "Soft Rice" regiment commander was, and I couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention, the deputy company commander said this, and I was really right. If I became the company commander, I would have the chance to let the battalion commander who was in charge of my superiors, and the regiment commander became a "Soft Rice"...

"Captain Cui!" At this time, a correspondent got up from the traffic trench and reported to me: "The regiment commander and the political commissar asked you and the deputy company commander to go there immediately!"

I looked at the deputy company commander and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. We had just come out of the regiment headquarters and immediately asked us to go again, but I was afraid there would be some emergency this time.

As expected, as we walked into the regiment headquarters, we saw Captain Zhang, Political Commissar Huang and several chiefs of staff gathered in front of the map to discuss something. As soon as we saw us in, we immediately recruited us to the map.

"We just received a telegram from our superior!" Commander Zhang pointed to a river east of the 339 Highland on the map and said: "This river is called Nagang River. In Dongxi, ten kilometers away from our army, a tank unit of our 43rd Army broke away from the cover of the infantry and lost contact with the command center. Now it is very likely that he was besieged by the Vietnamese army and is in a worrying situation. Because our army is close to Dongxi, the superior ordered us to send a force to reinforce immediately!"

"Corporate Commander Cui!" Political Commissar Huang lit a cigarette and explained: "I have discussed with Captain Zhang just now. Our army is not strong enough. We must not only complete the task of garrisoning the 339th Highlands and reinforce the tank troops according to the orders. Only one can send a fighter! Captain Zhang insists on letting you company go. I think your new official is the time for you to perform. How about it? Do you have the confidence to complete the task?"

"Yes!" I replied without thinking. At the same time, I glanced at Commander Zhang, who pretended to look at the map and avoided my gaze. So I knew that Commander Zhang was actually selfish. But it seemed that he couldn't blame him, because I knew that there was a soldier like me who stayed in the army and no one would feel uncomfortable, just as the deputy company commander said.

"Very good!" Political Commissar Huang nodded: "Time is tight, we will arrange for 9 connections to replace you, and you can go and prepare!"

"Yes!" I saluted and took the deputy company commander out of the regiment headquarters.

"Fuck!" As soon as he crawled out of the regiment headquarters, the deputy company commander whispered: "I thought this was over, but I didn't expect him to use this trick..."

"Deputy Company Commander!" I stopped me and said, "The superiors have their reasons for thinking this way. They will send us because they respect us!"

This is not because I am talking big, but because I have developed a habit after staying on the Korean battlefield for a long time. On the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, it is true that if the troops are the most capable of fighting, they should fill in the most dangerous tasks. The troops of the Volunteer Army are also used to taking pride in receiving the most dangerous and difficult tasks. But this seems to be the case in this era...

But no matter what, the result seems to be the same, that is, I will receive the most dangerous and difficult tasks no matter where I go.

"What do you think of us!" The deputy company commander complained in a low voice: "A tank unit is besieged by the Vietnamese army, so we will send a company to reinforce? Even if we can kill in, wouldn't it be enough to break into the enemy's encirclement? This regiment commander is really..."

"Deputy Company Commander!" I stopped Deputy Company Commander Li with some displeasure and ordered: "Immediately organize troops to change defenses with the 9th Company and prepare for marching!"

"Yes!" The deputy company commander responded and said nothing more.

The troops were quickly replaced. If this was the past, it would be quite dangerous for the troops to change defense during the day, because the enemy would likely suddenly launch an attack when our army changed defense. However, as individual weapons became more and more advanced, the danger caused by the infantry's sudden group charge was getting smaller and smaller. Just like when our company changed defenses with the Ninth Company just now, just one platoon unit was alerted to one platoon in the trenches, and then changed the combat roles one platoon after the platoon and finally exited the battlefield. Even if the Vietnamese army launched a raid at this time, we were fully capable of repelling them.

After retreating from the front line for a little preparation, we embarked on the road of marching. Because we were worried that we would encounter fierce battles in the Vietnamese army on the road, we once again drilled into the dense forest under the leadership of Hu Shaowen and other border residents who were familiar with the terrain. In front were several squads of soldiers who were driving the road to reconnaissance with hiking swords, and we followed behind to march.

The march was very difficult, even if there were people leading the way ahead. The difference between the mountains in Vietnam and the mountains in North Korea is that there were at least roads in North Korea, which could make people recognize where people walked. However, the mountains in Vietnam were simply invisible. Even Hu Shaowen and the border residents who were familiar with the terrain actually followed the direction of Dalei...

In fact, it is precisely because of the situation in Vietnam that we can easily avoid encountering the Vietnamese army. After all, the Vietnamese army was short of troops in the border area at this time, and they could not arrange troops to be stationed in these forests.

But the problems I worry about are not these, because I know very well that as a roadblind, I worry about these things completely. If I intervene, it will be bad. It would be better to leave the way to the border residents completely, and I just follow them. Even if I make a mistake in the end or get lost, I can only blame my bad luck.

What I am worried about is this mission. As the deputy company commander said, a tank unit of our army was surrounded by the Vietnamese army. The longer the time, the more troops the Vietnamese army will have, but we only have one company...

Our intelligence is pitifully small. Not to mention that we know nothing about the enemy's troops, we don't even know how many tanks the tank unit we are going to rescue. It is even very likely that when we worked hard to break in, we found that they no longer existed.

"Fifth Company and Fifth Company! Where are you? How far is it from the target?" The call from Political Commissar Huang came from the walkie-talkie.

I gave a wink at the deputy company commander, and he went up and said in embarrassment: "Report to the political commissar, we don't know where we are!"

"What's wrong! I've been walking for more than three hours on the ten-kilometer road and haven't arrived yet!" The phone rang out of the phone with dissatisfaction: "At your speed, when you arrive at your destination, our tank troops will have been eaten by the enemy long ago! Speed ​​me up!"

"Yes!" The deputy company commander responded. But after hanging up the walkie-talkie, he said dissatisfiedly: "Ten kilometers of road... Ten kilometers of road is the straight-line distance on the map! The actual distance is at least 20 kilometers, and it can be reached in three hours. We all have wings and are almost the same!"

"That's it!" Shunzi waved his sword and cut off a Qing Teng who was blocking his face, and continued, "Look at the way we are walking, we can walk 20 to 30 kilometers in three hours, let them try..."

"What are you thinking?" Just as I was thinking, the people from my hometown walked up to me and asked.

"Well! I'm thinking about how to complete the task!" I answered, looked at the sweaty hometown people, lowered my voice and asked, "You're the one who did it!"

"What? What the hell?" The people in my hometown were pretending to be confused.

"Don't be confused with me!" I said angrily: "Look at how angry Captain Zhang is. I have to let him know about this. You have something to eat!"

The hometown person smiled and replied, "I can't hide anything from you! Let me tell you the truth, I haven't taken him seriously as the leader!"

After thinking about it, he added: "I'm not bragging in front of you. Even if I give you a reassurance, no one will think of making small moves behind you as long as I am here! Of course, you have to be able to fight a good battle, otherwise I can't help you!"

"I'll be relieved if you say this!" I smiled and said, "I don't need you to take any back doors for me, I just need to fight without any worries!"

"I know this!" The people in my hometown nodded with a deep sense of sympathy and joked: "I'm leaving long ago when I want to leave the back door, and it's not your turn!"

As they said that, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"There is a situation!"

At this time, Yang Songjian's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie. I quickly made a gesture to let the soldiers stop and lower their bodies to prepare for the battle.

I rushed forward with a sniper rifle, walked for a while, and came to Yang Songjian who was reconnaissance in front of me, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"On there!" Yang Songjian pointed at the opposite side with his rifle.

Only then did I realize that there was a path not far away, and there was a dense jungle on the other side of the path. When I heard it carefully, there was a crackling sound, and it seemed that someone was walking there!

Maybe it was the Vietnamese army's troops. Thinking of this, I immediately ordered to the intercom: "The first row, the second row, immediately occupy the favorable terrain and display the troops! The third row should pay attention to the side and back of our army to prevent the Vietnamese troops from coming to reinforce!"

After all, this is the territory of Vietnamese. I heard that the recruitment age of Vietnamese in this era was from 18 to 65 years old, and almost all adults can be said to be soldiers. But I think the range of recruitment age is really not important, because Vietnam is actually a form of children and women.

It is precisely because of this that when I deploy my troops, I have to beware of whether Vietnamese militias suddenly came in from the side or behind. Although the combat effectiveness of the militia is really not worth worrying, when the enemy and us fight in full swing, their troubles will quickly tilt the balance of victory towards the Vietnamese army.

"Yes!" the soldiers responded and soon arranged their troops under the leadership of the platoon leader.

The sound of chopping is getting closer and closer, and it is becoming clearer. Occasionally, you can hear some cracking sounds of dead branches being trampled. I quickly inferred that the opponent has at least two companies of troops, because the sounds made when the dead branches are trampled are very far apart, which shows that their team is stretched very long.

I slowly raised my sniper rifle and aimed at the jungle opposite. The trees on the opposite side were very dense, and with the branches and leaves in front of us, I couldn't see anything at all. So I quickly realized that in such jungle terrain, it was actually not suitable for snipers to perform.

First of all, the field of vision is not wide, and the sniper rifle has long range but cannot perform. Even in broad daylight, it often takes one or two hundred meters to see the target clearly. This distance is already within the range of the ak47.

Secondly, there are too many branches and leaves, green vines and other things in the jungle. These things seem inconspicuous, but the bullets rotate at high speed. Even if they can easily penetrate branches or green trenches blocking the ballistic, the direction will change accordingly, so there is no shooting accuracy at all.

AK47 has no worries about this, because it is not based on accuracy but on quantity. Once it pulls the trigger, it will be a row of bullets. Even if these bullets are changed by branches and other objects, the number is too high, and there is a high chance of hitting the opponent.

This is also the reason why the US military's m16 is superior to the ak47 in both accuracy and range, but it cannot compare to the ak47 in jungle warfare.

Of course, this is just one of them. Another important point is that the penetration power of ak47 is strong enough to penetrate small trees in the jungle, but m16 cannot do it. In addition, m16 is difficult to maintain and ak47 basically does not require maintenance, which makes the US military eventually retreat in the jungle war in Vietnam.

So I was a little worried about the battle situation between our army and the Vietnamese army in the jungle. It was obvious that the standard 56 and a half rifle in our army were far from each other than the US m16. Can we still fight against the AK47? And now, the other party is very sorry that there are two companies!

"There are all!" Thinking of this, I whispered to the walkie-talkie: "No one is allowed to shoot without my order!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

...

Several platoon leaders whispered from the walkie-talkie.

I have made up my mind. If the enemy does not find out, we will assume that nothing has happened, otherwise we will have to fight to the death...

But the subsequent scene couldn't help but surprise all of us. With a cheer, more than a dozen warriors wearing red five-star and red collared seals emerged from the jungle with machetes. Then more and more, the mountain roads soon were filled with red spots everywhere.

That’s right! They are our own people. Not to mention that the red is very dazzling under the scorching sun, they are also speaking in Chinese, and most of the weapons in their hands are 56 and a half!

"Comrade! Which unit are you from?" My shout surprised the soldiers who had just emerged from the jungle, and they all fell to the ground and raised their weapons.

But the misunderstanding was quickly resolved. Later I found out that they were two companies of the 70th Army, and like us, they were ordered to reinforce Dongxi.
