Chapter 93: Explosive Pack

Chapter 93: Explosive Pack

Jeep staggered forward on the highway full of bullet craters, with military vehicles coming and going everywhere. What came against the road were transporting ammunition, food, soldiers and those who pulled shells, while most of those who walked down were pulling wounded or piles of corpses.

Of course, these corpses were wrapped tightly with canvas, and the purpose was to prevent the newly-up soldiers from seeing them and affecting their morale. But we can see from the dirty blood that kept dripping down from the car. With combat experience, we can even judge that the corpses have been stranded for at least one or two days.

Liu Yun and Ariel Yichen may be really tired. Before the jeep was driven, they leaned against each other and fell asleep. But because I had just had a sleep, I was very energetic now. I only looked at the military vehicles that were constantly passing by us next to me and sighed - this is war. I transported piles of guns, food and living soldiers, but what I transported were trucks of corpses and incomplete wounded people...

The jeep drove in Tongdeng for more than half an hour and stopped on a hillside. I looked up and saw a team of soldiers in front of me unloading the TNT explosives and explosive packs that had just been transported from behind. These explosives must have been used to blow up Vietnamese fortifications or detonate landmines!

Engineers lined up in a long line to pass down the explosive packs in bags. The road was narrow and full of bullet craters. The car stopped on the side of the road and added several soldiers who transported explosive packs, which almost blocked everyone's way.

The driver Xiao Li honked the horn impatiently, but the engineers just looked at us and still carried the explosive packs on their own.

In this war era, especially in this era when the military rank system was abolished and the military rank system emphasized equality between officers and soldiers, who would care about what jeep you were made by the leader! Even the commander who didn’t know you could treat you as the platoon leader, so no matter whether you were riding a jeep or a car, those who served in the army would not sell your account!

I didn't say anything, but Xiao Li was a little dissatisfied and cursed her and wanted to get off the car and let them get out of the way.

I hurriedly called Xiao Li: "Forget it! They are about to finish unloading!"

Xiao Li stretched out his head and looked at it. It was right, and there were only nine explosive packs and some tnt explosives left, so he waited patiently without saying anything.

They reminded me of the fact that when the Lang Son Battle was launched, the engineer battalion responsible for demining opened a passage for us with its own body... At this time, when I saw the engineers in front of me, I seemed to see them lined up and step towards the minefield with firm steps!

It’s not easy for engineers to deal with invisible enemies. They may break their hands and feet at any time by accident.

I believe that it is not painful for a person to lose his life on the battlefield, because at that time he knew nothing. What is even more painful should be that he survived but became disabled... And the landmines of this era often cost human lives, and specifically turned people into disabled people.

So if I had a choice, I would rather go to the battlefield than be an engineer and deal with those mines all day long.

Just as I was thinking about it, an accident happened suddenly. Perhaps it was because of the bumpy car, the fire-pulling tube of one of the explosive bags was hung on the bundled wire. The soldiers on the car pulled the fire-pulling tube of the explosive bag while carrying it down. In an instant, the fuse of the explosive bag was hissing and blue smoke was emitting...

The engineers and soldiers were all stunned. There were dozens of explosive packs under the car and there were no time to move them away. There were seven or eight explosive packs and some TNT explosives on the car. If they exploded, all the military vehicles and soldiers within a range of thousands of meters around could not escape.

The soldier holding the explosive bag in his hand was handed down, and he was not even holding it in his hand. He was stunned for a moment and didn’t know what to do!

Driver Xiao Li and I also saw this scene and couldn't help but exclaim. I couldn't help but smile bitterly. The delayed explosion time of the explosive pack was only six or seven seconds. At this time, no matter how fast I reacted, I rushed to open the car door and snatched the explosive pack and threw it into a safe place. At this moment, I was thinking, but I didn't expect that I, Cui Wei, had been here for so many years, but in the end I died in an accident.

At this time, Liu Yun and Yichen were still sleeping, but this was fine. Leaving this world without realizing it seemed to be a kind of happiness!

At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed over and shouted, "Doway!", and said, snatched the explosive bag and hugged it tightly in front of his chest and ran towards the road like crazy, then ran to the broken wall and jumped...

With a loud "Boom!", the explosive pack exploded at the moment the soldier jumped up, and in an instant the sky was bloody red, and blood and minced meat were splattered everywhere. The military vehicles, the soldiers' uniforms, and their faces were covered with blood...

But it is obvious that other explosives did not explode because of this explosion. The soldier used his own body to block part of the energy of the explosive package, thus saving the lives of everyone around him.

Liu Yun and Ariel's screamed at the moment of the explosion and jumped up. Ariel's grasped the support rod in front and looked out nervously. Liu Yun suddenly got into my arms and hugged his head with both hands.

But I didn't care about all this, but stared blankly at the blood and flesh on the windshield, as well as the engineer soldiers who stood there for a long time and couldn't speak.

After a long time, a soldier picked up military uniforms and corpse fragments on the ground with tears in his eyes, and placed them bit by bit on an open stretcher. Then more and more people were silently picking them up on the ground, one after another.

The driver and I also opened the car door and joined them silently...

When the jeep was driving on the road again, it was already twenty minutes later. Although time was delayed a lot and blood was everywhere inside and outside the car, the soldiers had no complaints, because everyone knew that this was nothing compared to the soldier who was blown to pieces.

"What happened?" Liu Yun asked timidly. She was speaking to the correspondent in front of her, as if she was still embarrassed that she had just gotten into my arms, so she didn't even dare to say anything to me now.

"It was really dangerous just now..." The correspondent said luckily: "A explosive pack was pulled to pieces somehow, almost detonating the large pile of explosives. You two are sleeping soundly! They all walked from the gate of hell!"

Hearing this, Liu Yun and Yichen couldn't help but look at each other, and then they realized that such a big thing had happened when they were asleep!

Liu Qu didn't dare to talk to me, Ariel Ye unwilling to talk to me, and Xiao Li, the correspondent, and I didn't want to talk because we were thinking about the heroic sacrifice of the soldier holding the explosive bag, so the car was very dull for a moment, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts.

After driving on the highway for more than an hour, the jeep turned into a mountain road. At this time, the carriage was even more upside down, and it lifted Liu Yun up and hit me from time to time. It was so ashamed that Liu Yun was looking at me all the way, and sometimes he secretly looked at others, for fear that others would find something abnormal.

Ariel Yichen is also fun. She obviously saw Liu Yun’s thoughts. She took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and compared to Liu Yun’s “shy” movements. She was so embarrassed that Liu Yun swung his fist and hit him. After a while, she became a group with Ariel Yichen and the other two. The two female soldiers were fighting and laughing along the way, which made her feel a little bit bored.

I don’t know how long it took to drive, but after several open and secret whistles and checking, the jeep finally stopped in front of several wooden houses in the jungle.

One thing I can be sure of is that the military headquarters we are now is not the one from the last time. But it is normal to think about it. The military headquarters cannot be in the same location for too long. This will not only be a danger of being discovered by Vietnamese agents, but also not convenient for command of the front-line combat troops.

Liu Yun and Ariel Chan seemed to be accustomed to this, and they couldn't wait to walk into the wooden house as soon as they got off the car.

I left the rifle in the car, told the correspondent a few words to Xiao Li, and followed me in.

"Comrade Cui Wei! Why is it late?" The one who came out to greet me was "" Chief of Staff, who pushed the glasses on his nose and said, "Your regiment headquarters has already said that it has set off, why did it arrive at this time? The commander was anxious when he was waiting. He was worried about whether there would be any accidents before, and he also said he would send someone to pick you up!"

"Um!" I couldn't help but feel moved when I heard this, and a comrade-in-arms relationship arose again. But when I thought about it, I felt helpless again, and I still couldn't see him as a comrade-in-arms...

When I followed the Chief of Staff into the cabin, I realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Liu Shunyi was sternly angry at Liu Yun and Ariel Chen, pointing at them and scolding: "What did you do? He ran back after a few days of fighting! You can come back if you can't endure hardship, so can the other soldiers go back too? Everyone is thinking about how to fight this battle!"

However, Liu Yun and Ariel's head lowered and did not dare to say a word. Especially Liu Yun, tears fell down like pearls with broken threads.

Seeing this, I hurried forward to explain to them: "Report to the commander! It's the gang... No, I asked them to come back! Liu Yun and Ariel Chen performed well on the battlefield, were willing to endure hardships and were not afraid of sacrifices, and rescued many wounded people on the battlefield. This time the commander wanted to see me, and I thought there was a ride, so..."

"Yeah!" Liu Shunyi's face looked a little better after hearing what I explained, and his voice slowed down, "Since you came by the orders of your superiors, I don't blame you. Go down to eat something to rest. I have something to talk about with Battalion Commander Cui. When Battalion Commander Cui returns, you will follow him to the battlefield! Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Yichen stood up and answered simply, but Liu Yun choked with tears in his voice. I couldn't help but feel funny. It turned out that Liu Shunyi was teaching his daughter a lesson as much as his soldiers!

When Yichen left, she glared at me fiercely, as if saying, "Who told you to ask us to come up on your own initiative!"

I couldn't help but shout in my heart that I was just taking the blame for the Chief of Staff, right?

"Captain Cui... sit and sit..." After Liu Yun and Yichen left, Liu Shunyi warmly greeted me and sat down on a wooden chair, and then "" the Chief of Staff quickly brought two cups of tea and a plate of fruit.

"This is the fruit that the commander specially told the orderly to prepare for you!" The chief of staff explained: "Our commander didn't even take a bite, so keep it for you!"

"Captain...this..." Looking at the plate of fruit, I couldn't help but feel moved.

"Hey... what's this!" Liu Shunyi said indifferently: "We have something to eat every day afterwards, and we don't have to worry about losing our lives at all times. You will be different. You eat biscuits and canned food every day. How can you bear it after a long time! Come on..."

As he said that, he brought the plate of fruit to me and said, "The first task I gave you today is to eat it all!"

"Captain..." My eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet. I have always known that Liu Shunyi is a careful person. He rarely makes mistakes as long as he leaves everything to him. But I never thought that he was so kind to his subordinates...

Under Liu Shunyi's firm eyes, I was no longer polite. I grabbed the plate of fruit and chewed it. By the way, those of us who have been on the front line really need fruits, because we have been eating compressed biscuits and canned food for a long time, so we will be deficient in vitamins over time. Just like sailors who have been sailing on the sea for a long time cannot eat fresh vegetables, they are prone to sepsis.

But I can eat it, but my comrades on the front line...

Thinking of this, my hands couldn't help but slow down.

"What's wrong?" Liu Shunyi was a careful person. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Captain!" I replied, "There are four soldiers who come with me together, so let's leave the rest for them!"

"Okay!" Liu Shunyi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "It is enough to prove that you are a good cadre at this time!"

Then he put the plate into the hands of the Chief of Staff and said, "Take it to the other soldiers, and it is said that it was left for them by Battalion Commander Cui!"

"Yes!" "" The Chief of Staff responded and went out with the fruit.

"You guys are promoted quite quickly!" After the chief of staff went out, Liu Shunyi laughed and said, "I was still a company commander when I met you last time! I didn't expect that I would be a battalion commander in just a few days!"

"Haha..." I smiled embarrassedly, "I'm all lucky, I'm confused!"

Listening to my words, Liu Shunyi couldn't help but look at me blankly. After a while, he sighed and said, "You really look like my old commander. He has been constantly making contributions on the battlefield like you and has been valued by the organization. When he is praised, he always looks like the way you said just now... If you weren't so young and look different from him..."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a trembling heart. I knew that Liu Shunyi had been with me for too long when he was resisting U.S. aggressing U.S. aggressing Korea, and at this time, I would inevitably see the shadow of Cui Wei from my words and deeds. So I secretly told myself that I should deliberately change my habits in front of Liu Shunyi in the future.

"I won't talk about these off-topics!" Liu Shunyi sighed and continued, "To be honest, I am the one who formulated the plan to take down Kumashan and Langshan's outer highlands to gain a foothold. A few days ago, I was shocked when I heard you mentioned the plan to use Langshan's surround point to fight for assistance! Later, I thought about it and felt that your plan was indeed feasible. Although it was a little risky, it was very likely to achieve greater results, and my plan was a little conservative. You are also very similar to my old leader! In the past, no matter what battle we fought to him, he was always taking risks and always succeeded..."

As he spoke, Liu Shunyi's face showed a fascination again. I couldn't help but sigh secretly. Liu Shunyi could be said to be able to break away from the topic and turn to me in the past in less than three sentences. I guess it was because I, who was standing in front of him at this time... that evoked too many memories from him.

Whenever this comes, I have the urge to recognize him, but I think about what will happen in the future? Will he believe such a ridiculous thing? What will happen if others know about this? So I finally endured it.

"Oh! Look at me..." Liu Shunyi shook his head awkwardly and said, "It seems that I am really old and always distracted..."

As he said that, he stood up and took me to the map, pointing to the map and said, "The current situation is this. Our army has basically occupied various high grounds outside Lang Son. An army transferred from Cambodia to remain unmoved! The 327th Division and 337th Division have not appeared. If we attack Lang Son, the Vietnamese army will likely abandon their troops to protect their cars in order to avoid greater losses. Then what we can annihilate is nothing more than the remnants of the 3rd Division in Lang Son and some *** garrisons!"

I nodded. Liu Shunyi's analysis was of course correct. Our army has powerful artillery and now controls the high ground outside Lang Son. It is easy to take down the surrounded Lang Son. The only thing we are worried about now is the Vietnamese people in Lang Son and the pressure of international public opinion. We are forced to force us to the extreme. At worst, the cannons bombarded Lang Son...

So under this situation, of course the Vietnamese army would not be so stupid that they would go into Lang Sang City and let us explode.

"Of course!" Liu Shunyi paused and continued: "It is also important to defeat Lang San. Its political significance is far greater than that of military significance. This is also the reason why I used conservative operations before. But now... the superior means, can I open my mouth wider and beat the Vietnamese Japanese to hurt!"

"Um!" I understood as Liu Shunyi said. My superiors wanted to use my tactic of surrounding the points to attack and aid more Vietnamese troops and teach the Vietnamese troops a lesson!
