"Battery Commander! We succeeded!" This was the first sentence Li Zhifu ran to me.

I couldn't help but glared and said, "It's too early to succeed if I didn't command the soldiers to take down Xiaoshishan!"

"Yes!" Li Zhifu soon realized that he was a little proud and hurriedly shouted at the soldiers: "First row follow me, second row prepare for combat, third row fire cover..."

With a wave of his pistol, he led the soldiers across the river and climbed towards the incline of Xiaoshishan.

We cannot easily win or fail until the last moment on the battlefield. This is an experience I learned on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. Because I have experienced too many such things, our army is clearly in a passive state of being beaten in front of the US military, but after the heroic battles of the soldiers, we finally won. So now I am very clear that although we have the advantage now, we cannot take it lightly.

Just as the Vietnamese army occupied the big one, Xiaoshishan would naturally feel a kind of underestimation in their hearts after the powerful geographical advantage. Once we also have this underestimation of the enemy, it is very likely that the battle situation will tilt towards the other side of the balance.

The facts also proved that I was right. When I followed the soldiers of the fifth company to the hillside of Xiaoshi Mountain with the soldiers of the fifth company, I found that the caves were not just as simple as caves. Because some caves were obviously blown up by the soldiers with grenades or even explosive packs several times, the soldiers always thought that there was no Vietnamese army there that could survive, but when the soldiers were not prepared, several Vietnamese army would rush out to cause casualties to our troops.

Of course, when our army occupied the side positions on Xiaoshishan on a large scale, these Vietnamese troops who rushed out could not shake our offensive at all, and eventually allowed us to occupy the top position of Xiaoshishan. As soon as the top position of Xiaoshishan was occupied by our army, our army opened the gap in the big and small stone mountain defense circle.

First, our army can rely on the cover of various strange rocks on the top position of Xiaoshishan to fight against the Vietnamese army in Dashishan. Second, our army can only build a few machine guns on it, and condescendingly control the Vietnamese army on each inclined surface of Xiaoshishan. This undoubtedly provides great help to other troops of our army to attack Xiaoshishan.

While our army had basically controlled Xiaoshishan and attracted and suppressed part of the firepower of Dashishan, the Sixth Company led by the people of his hometown also launched an attack on Dashishan under the cover of Battalion Commander Wu's tank troops.

The soldiers of the fifth company used machine guns on Xiaoshishan, recoilless cannons and rocket launchers to attack various targets in Dashishan. The tank troops used tank guns in the other direction, and the anti-aircraft machine guns blasted at Dashishan. In addition, the soldiers of the sixth company behind the tank also leaned out from time to time to fire straight-aided cannons at the enemy, which only caused Dashishan to fly gravel and bear smoke to roll...

The Vietnamese army stationed on Dashi Mountain was attacked by our army on both sides and could not take into account both the head and the tail. After resisting for a while, he knew that this would not be meaningless except to increase his casualties, so he threw down dozens of corpses and retreated to the cave.

At this time, I was a little surprised. Why did the Vietnamese Japanese seem to be unable to finish the battle? After one batch and another batch, some Vietnamese troops would drill out from time to time to fire bullets or drop a grenade, which made me even more puzzled.

Even if these caves are strong, the Vietnamese army cannot do this! The depth of the cave is limited, right? Unless... this is the second ghost gate fort? The Vietnamese army has hollowed out this big and small stone mountain to make a defensive fortress?

The more I think about this, the more I feel it is possible! If all these caves are opened and several larger caves of Tibetan soldiers are built in the middle of the big and small stone mountains, then this place can not only be used to hide soldiers but also as a very safe arsenal. Once attacked by the enemy, it can also be regarded as an almost unshakable fortress, which can be said to be a killing of numbers.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but order to the intercom: "All units should pay attention to the caves in the big and small stone mountains, which are likely to be connected. Each cave must be assigned additional personnel to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking! Repeat, each cave will be assigned additional personnel to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and soon distributed troops and firepower to defend the caves under the command of the company commander.

"Battery Commander!" At this time, Li Zhifu grabbed a Vietnamese army and threw it in front of me and said, "We have captured a prisoner!"

When I looked at the captured Vietnamese army, I saw that the face was swollen and two of them fell off by gunpowder. It was obvious that some soldier from our army came hard with a butt. The tattered military uniform was covered with stains and blood. I was so scared that my whole body was trembling... When he stood up, I was surprised to tell from his height that he was only fifteen years old at most!

This is how Vietnamese people are. Years of war and harsh conditions make them look quite mature in appearance, and they can't guess their age just from their faces.

"Hu Shaowen!" I shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Come!" Hu Shaowen quickly flashed out from behind Li Zhifu. He thought that he knew that there were prisoners and would need him, so he followed him consciously.

"Ask him! What's going on with this big, Xiaoshishan? How many people are there?"

Hu Shaowen responded and started talking to the prisoner. Seeing that the prisoner was so scared that he was stuttering, I knew that what he caught was a very cooperative cartilage this time.

Sure enough, Hu Shaowen replied soon: "He said... all the caves in Xiaoshishan are connected. The ones in Xiaoshishan are called Erqing Caves, and the ones in Dashishan are called Sanqing Caves. There is a battalion command post inside. There is more than 100 Vietnamese troops below the battalion commander!"

"What? There are more than a hundred people? There is also a battalion command post?" Li Zhifu was stunned when he heard Hu Shaowen's words. He could not have imagined that this two high ground that looked not very big and that even allowed our army to kill and injure at least hundreds of people, there were still more than a hundred people hidden inside.

But I was mentally prepared for this. After nodding and responding, I said to the intercom: "Each unit allocates firepower to aim at the entrance of the rock cave, and is ready to shoot the Vietnamese army that escaped from it. Let the chemical defense soldiers come up..."

"Yes!" Each unit responded separately, pressed the bomb and loaded it into battle.

Then more than a dozen chemical defense companies' soldiers clumsyly climbed up the mountain with the help of other soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs. Each of them chose a hole to prepare with flamethrowers.

"Let's fire!" With my order, more than a dozen soldiers pulled the trigger into the cave at the same time. In an instant, fire snakes broke out from the soldiers and rushed into the cave. Thick black smoke emerged from the caves in the entire mountain, and followed the black smoke and came out with the crying, crying, and coughing of the Vietnamese army hidden inside... It can be imagined that the cave had turned into a purgatory on earth at this time.

The soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain found several vents from the black smoke coming out of the cave entrance. They had already had experience when they were dealing with the Guitun Fortress of the Yue Japanese. So without waiting for my order, they ignited a few explosive packs and threw them into the vents...

"Boom..." We didn't know where the explosive packs were blown up, but we only felt muffled and shocks coming from the mountain, so we could be sure that the explosive packs must have exploded in the fortress of the Vietnamese army.

"Continue to vote!" I ordered to the soldiers on the top of the mountain.

The soldiers responded and then threw more vigorously. Two people were responsible for delivering explosive packs, and one person was responsible for throwing explosive packs in. Only a sound of explosions came from the inside of the mountain, as if someone was playing drums inside.

At this time, the unbearable Vietnamese troops rushed out of the cave entrances in all directions to try to escape, but such actions were obviously useless. Our machine gunners and submachine guns immediately knocked them into sieves, and screams came from all over the high ground.

At this time, when we were unprepared, a loud noise suddenly came from inside, followed by a swaying mountain. Huge fireballs ran out from the entrances of various rocks. Even the stones on the mountain were shaken and chaotic. Many soldiers stood unsteadily and fell to the ground involuntarily...

Later we learned that this was the big one. The arsenal in Xiaoshishan was detonated by us. It was really dangerous. If this big one was not so strong and it collapsed with such a blow, the soldiers of our company would probably have to be buried with the Vietnamese army.

After a while, we recovered from the violent shock from our feet, and some soldiers were even injured.

Looking at the caves, the cave entrance was blocked by the rocks that had collapsed. Even if the Vietnamese army inside was so vital that they could survive, they would probably be suffocated to death inside. So I was not relieved until this time.

After looking at the watch, an hour had passed, and I couldn't help but order the soldiers: "Come the troops and march quickly, and target the Qiqiong River Bridge!"

*********************************************************

Qiqiong River Bridge is only four or five miles away from Xiaoshishan. As soon as we crossed the big one, Xiaoshishan saw a wide stone arch bridge spanning the Qiqiong River connecting Langshan north and south.

At this time, gunfire was already rumbling in Lang Son North District, while in Lang Son South District, there was no movement.

We used the Type 59 tank as a pioneer to break into the residential area of ​​Lang Sang North District along the street and headed towards the Qiqiong River Bridge. Occasionally, there were several houses in which Vietnamese troops shot at our army through the windows, but with the cover of the Type 59 tank, we didn't need to pay attention to these minions.

Battalion Commander Wu seemed to be interested in showing the power of their tank soldiers in front of us. Sometimes he used the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tank to shoot at the houses "da da da da...", and the bullet shells fell down like popcorn. We were just watching rows of bullet holes on the side walls of the wooden houses exploded with a bunch of wood chips, and then they collapsed with a "boom"...

Sometimes the tank soldiers were too lazy to shoot, so they turned the turret and "bombed" at the wooden house, and the entire house immediately disappeared. Some tank soldiers even exaggeratedly and directly rushed over with the tank. With a rumbling sound of motors and wooden boards breaking, the tank was penetrated from the wooden house as if entering the no one, and then out from the other end. Then the house was bombarded and collapsed behind it. At the same time, the tank's tracks were still covered with flesh and blood...

I have to admit that several tanks with heavy armored firepower in street battles like this are indeed a good weapon. Otherwise, if we rely solely on our infantry to search and reconnaise room by room, we still don’t know how many casualties will waste time.

Of course, we were not unobstructed along the way. When our army approached the Qiqionghe Bridge, the two tanks in front turned a corner along the street and suddenly made a loud noise of artillery. I thought the tanks in front were encountered and the enemy were encountered. Hurry up and ran up to reinforcements with the troops. I turned around the corner and saw... There was no enemy's large force, only a light tank from the Vietnamese army.

We two medium tanks were easy to deal with a light tank of the Vietnamese army, but what surprised us was that the two 59-inch gun barrels slammed at the light tank of the Vietnamese army, but the Vietnamese tanks were safe and sound... They slowly approached us, but maybe the tank driver inside was already stunned! The tank soon lost its direction, and then it turned into the cliff next to the road and fell to the sky and could no longer move.

"What's going on?" The commander Wu's car was following behind. When he saw this strange scene, he opened the hatch and poked his head out and shouted at the intercom.

After a while, the hatch of one of the tanks was also opened, and a soldier poked his head out and blushed and replied awkwardly: "We...we forgot to change the armor-piercing bullets!"

Damn! I couldn't help but fainted when I heard the tank soldiers' words. These tank soldiers were still showing off their might in front of us just now! But it turned out that the mighty was still to those enemies who had no ability to resist. When they encountered a slightly harder opponent... no, it should be said that we infantrymen could deal with light tanks like the ones just now, so this could not be considered a hard opponent.

It can even be said that the two 59s just now could smash the light tank without firing the cannon, but the tank soldiers were still panicked and even forgot to replace the armor-piercing bombs and blasted the tank...

This obviously made Captain Wu lose face in front of us. He cursed angrily: "What's the point! Give me a clever next time!"

As he said that, he didn't even dare to look at me and got into the tank cabin in shame, leaving only us, a group of infantry, laughing outside.

*********************************************************

I would like to pay tribute to all the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 489th Regiment of the 163rd Division! The soldiers of the regiment were blocked in the battle to attack the northern area of ​​Langshan and failed in five consecutive charges. However, in the end, the platoon leader He Shuimu led a platoon of soldiers to sneak from Xiaohe to Xiaosishan to launch a raid to put the Vietnamese army in a cave, and successfully conquered Da, Xiaosishan, and the Vietnamese army camp command and more than 100 people hidden in Da, Xiaosishan were wiped out.
