Chapter 87: The Burrow

"battalion commander!"

"battalion commander!"

...

Just as the soldiers of the Fifth Company were lying in the forest and silently remembering the shape of the grass belt on the main peak, I also made a disguise and joined them with a gun. The soldiers quickly knew what I was going to do, and several soldiers rushed forward to dissuade them: "Battery Commander, this mission... is simple, let's go on our own! You can command below!"

"Simple?" I replied with an oh, "Then I will execute this simple task to other companies!"

"No..." The soldier was a little frustrated when I was frightened by this. He wanted to explain for a long time but didn't know how to explain it.

"Battery Commander!" Li Zhifu came up and said, "Don't worry! I'll leave this task to me. None of our fifth company's cowards, I promise to complete the task!"

"Yes! Let's ensure that we complete the mission!" Other soldiers also agreed.

Actually, I can understand the feelings of the soldiers. They just don’t want me to take this risk. But what they don’t know is that I was once a member of the fifth company and had the deepest feelings for them. I would never let them take risks. What’s more, the fifth company has a mission that determines the outcome of the battle. After they occupied the position on the top of the mountain, many situations still happened. As the saying goes, the fighter’s shots are fleeting, which also determines that I must go to the position to command myself.

"Comrades!" I put a new magazine on the rifle in my hand and said to the soldiers: "I won't say much nonsense. If you are brothers, just kill them and step on the Vietnamese devils under my feet, and use their heads as balls!"

"good!"

“拿他们的脑袋当球踢!”

...

Seeing this, the soldiers didn't say anything more, and raised their fists to express their determination.

"Have you recorded the terrain?" I asked loudly.

"Tell me!"

"We have fifteen minutes to climb to the top of the mountain, do we understand?"

"I understand!" the soldiers replied loudly.

"Okay!" Then I raised my rifle and shouted to the soldiers: "Tell the Vietnamese devils with my weapon that we are here!"

"Jiu Jian! We're here!"

"We're here!"

...

The soldiers shouted louder and louder at the several bunkers shrouded in smoke on the main peak position. The soldiers of other companies also shouted, and for a while, the shouts of "We are here" all over the mountains and fields were scared, which made the machine guns in the Yue army's bunkers "da da da..." sucking under the slope, which made the soldiers laugh.

I am not worried that the Vietnamese army will discover our location. In fact, I think this should be no secret. This is the territory of the Vietnamese army. Those who are good at jungle warfare only need to set up a few secret whistles anywhere, but aren’t they still very familiar with our whereabouts?

On the other hand, I hope that the Vietnamese army will know the location of our army. Because in this way they will think that everything is under their control, and our army will prepare for artillery fire and then launch an attack like before. But what they didn't expect was that this time we were launching an attack while preparing for artillery fire...

"Woo..." At this time, a scream of shells came from the sky. Soon, the shells fell on the incline of the main peak and exploded in pieces. The scorched earth and smoke from the shells instantly wrapped the enemy's bunkers and disappeared, and the explosion also covered all the machine gun sounds and laughter.

The soldiers also knew that the time for departure was coming, and they all lowered their waists and lined up for my orders.

I did not order to set off immediately, but waited for a while, and waved at the soldiers when the shells blasted the bunkers for a while...

The soldiers quickly rushed up along the grass belt in rows.

Although the Vietnamese steel bunkers are thick and strong enough to resist the bombing of our long-range artillery, the Vietnamese troops hiding inside when the shells hit the bunkers directly. It is like a person hiding in a big bell while someone rings the bell with a big hammer outside. Therefore, in such bunker fortifications, several other air raid shelters are usually dug for people to hide. The function of these air raid shelters is to store ammunition to make more space for the bunkers, and the other is to prevent people from being stunned or even being killed by shells in the bunkers...

I just waited for a while to give the Vietnamese troops some time to hide in those air raid shelters so that they can make sure they don't find out that we have started the attack.

Finally, I checked my equipment again. I tightened my armed belt and held my rifle and followed the soldiers along the grass toward the main peak.

碎土和石块成片成片的从天上倾泻而下,弹片也在头顶上嗖嗖的乱响,身旁到处都是震耳欲聋的爆炸声,浓雾,硝烟和焦土混杂在一起,使我们只能看见前方几米远的地方,旁边掀起的一波又一波热浪几乎都能把我们给吹倒.更让我们感到有些气恼的是,那些芭茅草总是会时不时的把我们绊倒……

虽然在草带里前进并不容易,但有一点却值得庆幸,那就是我们在这草带里往前爬了好一会儿也没看到有什么炮弹能直接命中这条草带.这也证明了我的分析是正确的,这里的确是我军炮火轰炸的死角.

换句话说,也就是这条草带看起来很可怕,但实际上却是安全的.直到现在我才只发现一名战士因为身子趴得不够低而被弹片击中倒在地上.卫生员很快就抢了上去把他拖到一边施救,否则他的存在将会影响整支部队的前进.

I climbed down the valley very smoothly, and then climbed up a long way with my memory, and then came to the open area between the two bunkers. At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, because the road we were walking was the area controlled by the bunker firepower. We could even clearly see the black machine gun shot hole on the bunker... Especially the one on the left, which was only a few meters away from us, and the machine gun shot hole in the shot hole could be seen clearly. At this time, as long as a Vietnamese army leaned into the shot hole or looked around, our plan would not only be dead, but also the entire company would suffer a devastating blow.

It can be imagined that there was his own shell bombing on his head, and there were two bunkers beside him sweeping at our team of long snake formations. What kind of scene would it be...

Fortunately, all this did not happen. The Vietnamese army in the bunker obviously couldn't stand the roar outside and had already hid in the air-raid shelter.

这时我发现爬在前方几米远的一名战士在瞻前顾后的似乎是估量着什么,他一会儿看看旁边的机枪射孔一会儿又不自觉的摸了摸腰上的手榴弹.见此我不由暗叫了一声不好:这家伙肯定是看到自己离敌人碉堡射孔那么近而手痒了想把它炸掉.

So he hurriedly shouted at him: "Don't move, don't explode..."

But my shouts were covered by the explosions around me, and I was about to rush forward to stop him, but it was too late. The soldier cleverly pulled out two grenades and pulled the strings, then jumped to the fortress to penetrate the grenade and stuffed it into the ancient mind...

I didn't hear the explosion from the bunker, but I saw a cloud of smoke rushing out of the perforation hole. I think it was my ears that had already made the shells numb. After all, the sound of grenades is simply not worth mentioning compared to the explosion of shells.

The soldier was smart and ran back in two steps. He even waved his fists at other soldiers excitedly, making me both angry and funny.

The actions of this soldier undoubtedly put our mission in danger. The Vietnamese army had been hiding in the bunker and did not find out anything, but now it is very likely that the itchy warrior had aroused their alertness.

It is impossible for shells to hit the bunker through the perforation hole, so... only those living people in the fort will become suspicious, and if they become suspicious, they will come to the perforation hole to take a look...

I really wanted to rush up and beat the troublesome soldier hard, but even if I beat him to death, it would be useless.

So I waved my hand behind me and asked the soldiers behind me to continue climbing up, while I pulled out two grenades and leaned beside the bunker and stared at the barrel that had been blown up in the perforation hole.

Suddenly, the barrel moved and then retracted. It was obvious that the Vietnamese army inside moved the machine gun away for easier observation. I didn't dare to neglect it. I ignited the strings of the grenade and waited for a while, and then suddenly stuffed the grenade in...

Another stream of black smoke came out, and several blood arrows flew out along with the black smoke.

I was still not relieved, so I gestured to several soldiers passing by, and soon someone threw an explosive bag as I wanted. Without much thought, I pulled the explosive bag and stuffed it into the perforation hole, and then rolled back into the grass belt.

There was a muffled sound of "Boom!", and this time I heard the sound. But it seemed that it was not a sound, but a vibration came from the ground.

Only then did I realize that the itchy soldier had been lying beside him and didn't leave, with an embarrassed look on his face as if he was telling me that he had realized that he had made a mistake.

I glared at him fiercely, gestured to him to continue moving forward. The soldier nodded, smiled embarrassedly, turned around and crawled forward. The moment he turned around, I noticed that he tied the kettle to his back with a backpack strap...

He is still quite smart! This kettle is hanging on his waist and shaking around and walking with his waist. I would have felt so uncomfortable if I had known that I would have learned that he would have done this!

After climbing for a while, I found that the team stopped moving. When I was wondering, the soldiers passed down gestures one after another... It turned out that the grass in front was on fire and could not move forward. It was said that the gestures of the soldiers passing information at night were really useful, otherwise I would not be able to understand the situation when I could not hear and could not see clearly in front of me!

After thinking about it, he gestured to the soldiers - use grenades to explode!

The soldiers quickly reacted one by one and uploaded gestures. Grenades are really good things. For example, they can put out fires at this moment, and the sound of cannons around them naturally don’t have to worry about the explosion being noticed by the enemy.

When the team moved up again, the artillery fire was much weaker and was extending deep into the enemy's position. The fifteen-minute artillery preparation time had arrived, but we were blocked by flames and failed to rush to the top of the mountain in time. But at this time I was no longer so worried, because most of the fifth company had crossed the bunker position on the enemy's side and was only a few dozen meters away from the top of the Yue army. Even if we fought hard with the Vietnamese army, we were confident that we would take down the top of the mountain.

So I simply made gestures to tell the soldiers to stop moving forward and prepare for battle. The soldiers had been following me for a while, and naturally understood what I meant. They all lay in the grass belt with guns on their backs ready to go!

The sound of cannons stopped! Three red signal flares rose slowly. As soon as I waved my hand at the soldiers, the soldiers spontaneously dispersed and covered each other to cover each other's positions on the top of the mountain.

"Da da da..." The gunshots rang behind.

I turned around and looked at the Vietnamese bunkers. I thought our army would rush up soon after preparing for artillery fire, so I was covered in my head and fired the machine guns...

Bunkers are not as good as tanks. Tanks can turn around, but they cannot turn around. The perforations of the bunkers are all in the front, but there is a small iron gate at the back or on the side for personnel or material to enter and exit. Once we go around the back of the bunker, it means that they have lost their function.

I once again focused my attention on the top position on the mountain and watched the soldiers attacking the target in an orderly manner. If nothing unexpected happens, the top position on the top will be ours!

But at this moment, a tongue of flame suddenly spurted out from the smoke in front of the left, knocking down rows of soldiers in a pool of blood, and the other soldiers hurriedly lay down to cover them.

After a while, Li Zhifu's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Report to the battalion commander, an enemy's castle was found on the left, which was side firepower..."

"Damn it!" I couldn't help but curse fiercely when I heard this.

The side fire power is that the perforation hole is opened to the side. I have certainly known that this kind of gangster is usually well disguised and not exposed easily. Only when the position on the top of the mountain is about to be unable to defend... I didn't expect it to discover it at this time.

"Blow it up right away!" I gave the order without thinking.

This castle has undoubtedly become a nail in front of us. Its firepower will not only block our way forward, but also once the Vietnamese army is allowed to climb to the top of the mountain in time, this castle will pose a great threat to our flanks, and then we will be in a dilemma of being unable to move forward or backward!

"Yes!" Li Zhifu responded and shouted immediately: "Blasting team..."

I raised my rifle and looked in the direction of the flames through the sniper lens. The smoke was too thick and I could only vaguely see a huge rock. I think it was because of the Vietnamese army that made this huge rock Lou Kong into a dark castle that deceived our eyes.

A three-person blasting team rushed up quickly, but before they could rush far, they were knocked down in a pool of blood by blocks of bullets. The location of the castle was very good, and there was basically no shooting dead corner on the entire slope. This Japanese devil was really not simple, and there was also a killer weapon hidden here...

Then three more soldiers rushed up with explosive bags, but were knocked to the ground halfway through.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed up and approached the castle along the cliff on the left.

There was only one person? I couldn't help but frown and looked at him through the sniper lens... and saw the kettle tied to his back.

It turned out that it was him, so smart! There were naturally much less opportunities to walk along the cliff and exposed to the enemy's firepower. Looking at the warrior in the smoke, using the crater to approach the castle flexibly, my heart couldn't help but hang.

The soldier sometimes walked away and crawled forward, and soon approached the side of the castle. He saw him throwing a grenade at the castle. With a "boom", the explosion sounded, and the warrior jumped from his hidden place and rushed towards the castle again...

I have to admit that the warrior's wit and courage were beyond my expectations. He actually knew that he used the smoke and smoke from grenades to move towards the target like the volunteers... Seeing that the warrior was about to succeed, suddenly a "da da" gunshot came from the position on the top of the mountain... The warrior leaned over and fell to the door of the castle!

The Vietnamese army had already reached the top of the mountain! I almost saw the tragic scene of the soldiers lying on the Vietnamese army in rows and sieges on several sides! But I still gritted my teeth and aimed the rifle at the top of the mountain. I shot two "bang" shots, and then knocked out the two Vietnamese soldiers who had just emerged.

I keep reminding myself that as a soldier, especially a commander, you must not give up until the last moment!

So I then ordered to the intercom: "Organize a blasting team to continue blowing up the bunkers, and the rest of them will cover fire!"

"Yes!" Li Zhifu also understood that at the critical moment, he hurriedly assigned tasks according to my order.

But just when everyone thought the situation was not good, a dull "boom" sound suddenly came from the enemy's castle, and then there was no movement again.

It was that warrior! I quickly realized this and turned my eyes to the castle again. Sure enough, I found the warrior who was lying weakly in front of the castle in the smoke. I could almost imagine the scene where he tried his last effort to throw the grenade into the hole!

Did he die? I don’t know, nor do I dare to be sure!

I only saw a Vietnamese officer wearing a red epaulette drilling out of the castle. Maybe his gun was lost in the castle, or maybe it was blown up. At this time, he ran out and saw the soldiers lying on the front of the bunker and went to grab the gun...

But he didn't expect that the soldier was not dead yet. The soldier suddenly got up and hugged the Vietnamese officer's legs and wrapped him tightly. Ren Yuejun pushed and beat him, but he didn't let go. Finally, he shouted and hugged the Vietnamese army and rolled towards the cliff...

"Ah..." Only the scary screams of Vietnamese officers before their death came from the cliffs, and the soldiers and Vietnamese officers disappeared from our sight together.
