Chapter 45: The Battle of Tong Deng (15)

"Report to the commander!" Just as several of us were at a loss at the fort on the map, a correspondent sent a telegram to the commander and said, "The superior calls us and we will immediately launch an attack on the Guitun Fort!"

"Regiment Commander!" Another telephone soldier also raised his head and said, "The division commander asked us why we hadn't started the attack yet, and said that if we couldn't fight, we would change to the 638th Regiment..."

"Damn it!" Captain Zhao punched the map on the table and replied: "Who said he couldn't fight anymore? I'll lead the troops up and fight!"

"Captain! Don't do anything random..." Seeing this, Political Commissar Wang and I hurried up to stop us.

"Captain Cui!" Commander Zhao turned to me and said, "You have won a battle last night, and it's our turn! Don't say anything, our regiment can't always be lazy in winning battles. It's time for us to show off!"

He didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the cave with a stern face.

"Oh!" I couldn't help but sigh. Going to fight the Guitun Fort in broad daylight is almost the same as seeking death.

"Look!" Political Commissar Wang picked up a few telegrams and shook them in his hand. He said angrily: "These are telegrams ordered by his superiors to attack Taiwan, no... this is not telegrams, this is all death talisman!"

"No! I'll go and see it on the battlefield!" Seeing that I couldn't stop Captain Zhao, I couldn't sit still in the regiment headquarters.

Political Commissar Wang nodded and said, "Be careful, maybe you can discover something else and think of any good ways to deal with it. The regiment headquarters will hand it over to me, the old man!"

After saluting Political Commissar Wang, he walked to the battlefield with a rifle.

Along the way, there were figures of PLA soldiers running back and forth, some carrying ammunition, some preparing to disguise, and some busy setting up cannons, as if the storm was about to come and the wind filled the building.

I wanted to find Captain Zhao in the crowd and persuade him, but there were people everywhere in the jungle. After searching for a long time, I asked several soldiers and still couldn't find them, so I had to give up.

In fact, I think it would be useless to persuade Captain Zhao even if he found him. Captain Zhao didn't know the truth I wanted to say. But this battle had to be fought, because this battle was not to capture Guitun Fort, but to those superior commanders who were sitting in the office measuring maps with rulers.

Perhaps in their eyes, Pingding Mountain is just a small highland, and Guitun Fort is just a larger bunker. A regiment, our reinforcements, and almost all the artillery of the division are concentrated here. How come it can't hit this place with a big butt!

It is not surprising that they do not know the actual situation. After all, they have not come to the battlefield in person to inspect; it is not surprising that they do not know how to use reasonable tactics. After all, their thoughts have been poisoned by the so-called "spiritual atomic bomb"; it is not surprising that they do not know the suffering of the soldiers' bloodshed and sacrifices. After all, they are not the ones who cut off their hands and feet or even lose their lives...

However, all of this cannot be a reason for them to ignore human lives. Just because they are not suitable for a command, the soldiers do not know how much price they have to pay and how many precious lives they have to sacrifice!

But what can I do now? I can't do anything!

Looking at the busy soldiers around me, I couldn't help but feel anxious and hated! What I was anxious was that the soldiers would soon walk onto the battlefield with no hope of success, and hated those superiors who were blindly commanding regardless of the actual situation, and also hated myself, hated myself for not coming up with a better way to attack the fort in time...

I was holding a rifle and trotting forward, but when I was about to pass by several soldiers, I was stopped.

"Hey hey... stop for me!" A PLA soldier wearing a cadre uniform and full of flesh on his face pointed at me fiercely and shouted: "Why are you talking about you! Which part of you are from? Why are you not organized and disciplined at all? Didn't you hear the order lurking and preparing for battle? Are you going up alone to seek death?"

I looked back at him helplessly, and then started to feel embarrassed. I had just arrived at the 637th Regiment for only one day, and the only people in this Regiment who knew me were cadres at the battalion level or above, so I don’t know how to tell him now.

"Company Commander Xu!" Fortunately, a communication soldier seemed to have seen me, so he leaned over and attached himself to the cadre's ear and whispered: "He seems to be Company Commander Cui of the 639th Regiment's reinforcement unit..."

"What is the commander Cui who is not the commander Cui... can a company commander disobey orders... What? Commander Cui?" The soldier with a fat face reacted for a long time and looked at the communications soldier with suspicion. After the communications soldier nodded with certainty, he ran to me in front of me and stood up: "Hello Commander Cui! I am Xu Yiguo, the commander of the second company of the Third Battalion!"

"Hello!" I shook hands with him and said, "I want to go up and see the situation, there is no problem!"

"Of course...of course there is no problem!" Company Commander Xu smiled silly: "But, the danger is above... In this case, I'll go up with you! If there is anything, you can take care of me!"

My mind was not here at all, and I didn't want to waste time, and I nodded without thinking too much.

By the way, Company Commander Xu is a company commander, and I am also a company commander. We should be at the same level and we should not be able to treat each other. But for some reason, I naturally used the attitude of superiors to subordinates to him, and he also naturally used the attitude of subordinates to treat superiors to me...

Maybe! In the eyes of the soldiers, I, the company commander who is in charge of two battalions, especially one of the tank battalions, is no longer as simple as a company commander!

But I soon regretted taking Xu Yiguo, the company commander, because he was talking all the way beside me: "Company Commander Cui, the battle last night was so beautiful! Everyone in our regiment was talking, and they said that once you reinforcements arrived, they didn't turn over the whole battle? At first, no one expected that the battle would be like this! By the way, Company Commander Cui... I didn't know it was you just now, don't be surprised! Hehe... Now I am also a celebrity. When I turned around and told others, I went to inspect the enemy situation with Company Commander Cui, so I wouldn't envy them to death..."

I couldn't help but look back and glared at him with some amusement, and immediately asked him to hold back all the rest of the words.

"It's time to the front line!" I said, "If you have something to say, pay attention to the enemy situation, bullets are not eye-catching!"

"Yes!" Company Commander Xu stepped forward and responded slightly, really like my subordinate.

Turning a corner on the road, the nameless highland, the railway station and Pingding Mountain appeared faintly in the gap between my trees. I carefully lay down behind a tree, then climbed forward a few meters to a place with a wider field of view, and carefully pulled out the telescope to observe the battlefield last night.

The nameless highland has become a barren land, with nothing but a few beaches of blood, a few corpses and some messy barbed wire. The railway station is messy, and looking around, the entire battlefield is in chaos. The curved railway tracks, scattered cargo and scattered oil barrels, the carriages that are still burning, collapsed buildings, the corpses of both sides of the enemy and us, the craters of smoke, and the charred tanks... It's so terrible and extremely tragic!

Suddenly, several Vietnamese soldiers who entered the aperture of my telescope made me feel a little surprised.

It is not surprising to see the Vietnamese army on this battlefield. After all, there was a big battle here last night. Even if we searched very carefully, we would not be able to eliminate all the remaining enemies. What I wonder is that these Vietnamese soldiers are all clean in military appearances, with no stains or damage in their military uniforms, and they are in good spirits.

This shouldn't be! No matter what, it was a melee last night. If they hid on this battlefield for a night and came out until now, they would not be able to look clean or have such a mental state. So... I boldly guessed that they should be the Vietnamese army coming out of the fort, but I didn't notice it when they came out.

At this time, Company Commander Xu also found the Vietnamese soldiers in the telescope and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! Look at the arrogant look of the Yue Japanese, Company Commander Cui, wait! I'll inform the mortar company to give him a few shots!"

"Wait!" I hurriedly stopped him and said, "No, and I'll inform other troops not to shoot, just say I said it!"

"Yeah!" Company Commander Xu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and conveyed the order back with the walkie-talkie.

As a company commander, I am still not qualified to give such orders. But now everyone knows that even Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Wang listen to me, so how can others not listen?

There were five Vietnamese troops in total, and I should say that there were five I saw. There were two on the nameless high ground and three in the train station. The ones on the nameless high ground quickly disappeared from my sight, and the three of the train station, every move was in my eyes.

It can be seen that their military qualities are very strong. They sometimes walk in obstacles in the craters and sometimes hide, and carefully approach somewhere.

I looked at the telescope in the direction they were heading, and then I quickly realized that their target was the part where the secret passage was blown up.

There is no reason! What are they going to go to the place where the secret passage was blown up? Are they trying to dig through the secret passage? But they knew that we had blown up the secret passage from several parts! It is said that success is hard to fail. We buried explosives and bombarded several secret passages, which is enough for the Vietnamese army to dig for several days! And they also knew that they exploded while digging us, and when will it be the end... The Vietnamese army would not be so stupid, right!

But the Vietnamese army still ran to the bombed parts in my puzzled eyes and separated them to raise their guns to guard them. My telescope locked them tightly, observing every detail of them, and after thinking for a long time, I couldn't guess what they were doing.

The Vietnamese army saw that there was no movement around. One of them lay on the ground, listened carefully with his ear against the ground, and then knocked on the ground with a few more stones... After a while, he raised his head with joy and nodded to the other two Vietnamese army, then piled up a few stones at that part to mark, and hurriedly retreated!

The direction of their retreat was indeed the Guitun Fort on Pingding Mountain, which proved that they did come out of the Fort.

But I was still confused by their actions, and I listened with my ears on the ground... and knocked on the ground with a stone... It seemed to be sending some kind of signal. To whom are you sending a signal?

There are people underground!

I soon realized that there must be Vietnamese troops trapped in the bombed secret passage, and... the Vietnamese troops trapped in the secret passage are likely to have one or several heavyweight figures, otherwise they would not have taken this risk to go out of the fort to rescue.

After thinking about the battle last night, I felt more and more that this possibility was possible. Last night, our army first blew up the tunnel of the Wuming Highlands, and then launched a bombardment on the Wuming Highlands. At this time, the Vietnamese army would definitely subconsciously retreat into the secret passage to avoid the bombing. But what they didn't expect was that before they could come and go out to unleash their troops, the exit on the other end was bombed again, so they could only hold it in and wait for people to rescue...

The Vietnamese soldiers just now must have come out to find their location, and make a mark to wait for them to come out to save them in the night!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think about it and hurriedly asked Xu Yi Guodao beside me: "When do you plan to launch an attack?"

"I don't know!" Xu Yiguo shook his head: "The regiment commander just said he was waiting for the signal flares. I guess he would need time to prepare the artillery! After all, he would have to fire a fireball..."

"I don't care what method you use, you must find Commander Zhao before the war begins!" I said anxiously: "And report to Commander Zhao that I have urgent matters to look for him, and I can't fight anyway!"

"yes!"

"Wait!" When Xu Yiguo was about to leave, I called him again. I was worried that Captain Zhao would still fight desperately, so he added: "Tell him that I have found a way to drive the fort. If the way to hit me will not work! Let him stop anyway..."

"Really?" Xu Yiguo widened his eyes and looked at me with disbelief: "You really have a way to build the fort? What's the way to say first..."

"Go quickly!" I said impatiently.

"Yes!" Xu Yiguo didn't dare to talk anymore, and he turned around and crawled back quickly.

In fact, the situation is not as serious as I said just now. Once I start fighting, my method will not work. But since I have already thought of a solution, I will naturally not let the soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices. If this bloodshed cannot be stopped, then I will not become a sinner.

I climbed back secretly with a rifle until I turned a corner and made sure that the enemy could not see me. Then I dared to stand up and run carefully. Before I could run back to the base, I saw Captain Zhao running forward with sweat and grabbed my hand: "Captain Cui, have you really thought of a solution? Good guy, I almost gave the order to start fighting! It's just one minute away, otherwise it's possible that something is wrong! Tell me, what's the solution?"

I looked around and said, "Let's talk to the regiment headquarters!"

Captain Zhao laughed and slapped his head: "Yes, go to the regiment headquarters and say! Look at me..."

I was almost dragged by Commander Zhao to the map of the regiment headquarters. After I pressed me on a chair and sat down, Commander Zhao, who was already sweating, was so attentive that he served tea and poured water. He only saw that Political Commissar Wang was inexplicably surprised.

"What's wrong with you?" Political Commissar Wang asked with a wry smile.

"Captain Cui said... he has a way to build the fort!" Commander Zhao still couldn't hide his joy from the bottom of his heart.

Yes! We were going to attack with a tough bullet, and we were going to kill and injured a large number of soldiers, but suddenly hope appeared, and no matter who was it, we would be happy.

"Is there really a way?" Political Commissar Wang winked at me.

I know what Political Commissar Wang means. He thought I was trying to prevent Captain Zhao from going to war blindly, so I used a temporary solution!

I naturally didn't worry about this when I had the heart. I smiled and pointed to the secret passage on the map and said, "This is the secret passage of the Japanese! There is also a secret passage leading to the train station and the nameless highland..."

"That's it?" Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Wang couldn't help but look at each other.

Especially Captain Zhao, whose face turned red like a pig's liver, couldn't help but say, "We have known these two secret slanders for a long time. Isn't it? This... what is the solution?"

"We did blow them up last night!" I said calmly: "But we don't know there are still people inside!"

"There is still someone inside?" Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Wang couldn't help but look at me in confusion.

"Yes!" I said slowly: "Last night we exploded the secret passage into several pieces. What we didn't expect was that there were many Vietnamese secret passages sealing them!"

"Even if this is true! What does it have to do with *** Station?" Captain Zhao still didn't understand.

"The relationship is..." I smiled and said, "The Vietnamese army has already reconnaissed their location and will come to rescue them at night!"

"Save it, save it!" Captain Zhao still didn't understand and replied angrily: "At worst, we can kill more Japanese devils, but we still have no choice but to use the fort!"

Although Captain Zhao didn't understand, Political Commissar Wang's eyes had already lit up.

"There is a big relationship here!" I continued, "We don't know when the Vietnamese army will take action, but we can make some noise so that the Vietnamese army will not dare to act too early! Then we can 'rescue' the Vietnamese Japanese trapped in the secret passage before the Vietnamese army..."

"Save the Japanese devils out?" Captain Zhao became more and more confused as he heard it.

"Yes, yes..." Political Commissar Wang laughed and said, "After 'rescuing' the Yue Japanese in the secret passage, we will hide in the secret passage and wait for the Yue Japanese to come and 'rescue' us!"

"You...what are you talking about? You're all crazy!"

"No, no, no, no, no," Political Commissar Wang patted my shoulder and smiled: "Captain Cui's method is great! The Yue Japanese rescued us and rescued us to the fort!"
