Chapter 143 Ambush

Finally, I have another chapter, which makes me exhausted. Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, so I can sleep in, haha!

Chapter 143 Ambush

"Do what Captain Cui said!" While Commander Wu was hesitating whether he should adopt my opinion, Deputy Commander Liang's words played a decisive role at this time. So Commander Wu had no choice but to respond and immediately passed my order.

In fact, the object of the commander Wu's command was the first battalion. With the help and guidance of Xu Yongjian and others, they were divided into two teams in a very organized manner and hid into the jungle on both sides. This is the advantage of having veterans in one unit. It seems that the troops used this model during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. That is, they used a veteran to lead two to three new recruits and learned while fighting on the battlefield. In order to survive, all the new recruits had to study hard. At the same time, because of the veterans who were guiding them, the chances of making mistakes would be greatly reduced.

We are almost the same now. Although the unit I have not been a veteran, most of them have only been in the army for more than two months, their experience on the battlefield is much richer than that of the 608th Division's soldiers, so their movements are quite satisfying. They can be hidden and no one is afraid of fighting in the face of battle. I just vaguely heard the "cough cough" sounds of some soldiers' teeth trembling up and down, and several soldiers fell to the ground with their feet weak and fell to the ground several times...

But this is understandable. It is the first time I participated in a battle. Everyone has this kind of virtue! Fortunately, the soldiers were marching all the way, so these sounds did not attract the attention of the Vietnamese troops who were ambushing in the jungles on both sides.

This is also the reason why I didn't ask Captain Wu to tell the second battalion that was ahead of him. The reason is very simple. They are all new recruits who have never fought. If they are told that there is a Vietnamese army lying in front of them, their superiors will decide to use you as bait to attract the attention of the Vietnamese army, so you should continue to move forward calmly...

Is it possible? It's not that I'm willing to play like this, but once I tell the Second Battalion like this, the Second Battalion will be in chaos immediately. At that time, not only will we not be able to capture the entire Vietnamese army in one place, but it is also likely to cause greater sacrifices and casualties.

Because I considered that if the group of Vietnamese troops who were ambushing here were not severely damaged, then they could completely rely on the advantage of familiar terrain to fight an ambush here and immediately transfer their positions to the front of our army and set up an ambush circle, and then the next one... After repeated repetition, unless they have no bullets, their ambush can be said to be endless, and it is impossible for our army to move forward. Then there is no need to say more about what will be waiting for us next...

This plan is indeed unfair to the Second Battalion, but it is fair to the entire army! There are often such dilemma on the battlefield, and I am often the one who is a bad person. I think... After this battle, all the soldiers of the Second Battalion will be so angry that they are itchy. But there is no way. Even if I make a new choice, I will still do it!

The fifth company was walking in front with the Second Battalion. I feel at ease with the quality of this army, so all I can do is to tell Li Zhifu through intercom to prepare for the battle. Once the battle begins, we must immediately organize the firepower of all the soldiers in the company to cover the retreat of the Second Battalion...

Since we had discovered the ambush of the Vietnamese army, the front finger naturally did not follow him anymore. I took Deputy Commander Liang to the corner and climbed up a commanding height. The two raised their telescopes and looked at the Second Battalion walking in front.

Under the starry sky, the soldiers didn't know there was something ahead, and they were still walking forward on their own. Among them, I could see that some soldiers were more rigid in their movements, and they were holding guns in their hands and glanced vigilantly into the jungle on both sides from time to time - without guessing, these must be the soldiers of the fifth company.

This is how people are. If you don’t know the danger, it doesn’t matter. But once you know the truth, then no one can keep calm as usual even though you know someone pointed a gun at him. Even the soldiers of the fifth company can’t do it. From this point of view, I regret notifying them in advance. Fortunately, the Vietnamese army did not seem to have noticed this.

The soldiers walked past this dangerous area like a snake, one after another, in the telescope, I could vaguely see that the soldiers walking in front had crossed the dangerous area, but the Vietnamese army still did not move at all.

"Can the vanguard read it wrong?" Deputy Commander Liang asked in a low voice: "Why did the vanguard determine that there was a Vietnamese ambush in this area?"

I don't know what to say, but in fact, there is no evidence for Al Ziri, and he didn't see anything. Of course, there is no "why". If you really want to say what, it's based on your feelings...

So I can only answer: "Wait a minute! I'm just guessing, it's always right to be careful!"

"Yes!" Deputy Commander Liang responded, perhaps because he remembered that we deliberately hid the information from the Second Battalion, so he looked a little ashamed and unhappy. This made me feel like I was a villain in my heart.

But what kind of person can be considered a villain? I know very well that sometimes for the benefit of the entire army, such villain behavior must be done. After all, there is no morality on the battlefield, and there is only life and death here.

The troops continued to move forward, and the soldiers were still talking and laughing all the way. At this time, most of the troops had passed by safely, and there was no danger at all.

"Battery Commander!" Al Ziri's voice came from the intercom. He said embarrassedly: "Maybe I'm too suspicious and always suspicious. I think I'm still not suitable for being a vanguard..."

"Wait a little longer!" I replied calmly.

"It should be a false alarm!" Deputy Commander Liang smiled relieved and said, "Capital Commander Cui, you are really scared to death. Your command may be right, for the benefit of the entire battle and the overall situation. But if there is really an ambush from the Japanese, then I don't know how to face the soldiers of the Second Battalion..."

"Bang..." At this moment, with a crisp gunshot, guns and cannons suddenly shot out in the jungles on both sides of the mountain road, and they were like a big net to press forward towards our soldiers on the mountain road in the middle.

When everyone, including me, thought there would be no ambush in the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army suddenly launched an attack. Later, when I remembered this battle, I realized that the Vietnamese army was very accustomed to the way of marching in our army, just like the marching sequence we had set before: the second battalion, the first battalion, the regiment point... and then the third battalion.

The Vietnamese army was very familiar with our army's combat habits, so they knew very well that our army usually arranged the command center in two-thirds of the team. They wanted to kill our army's command center. In this way, if we succeeded, our army would definitely be in a mess without command. It would be much easier to eat us at that time.

Their wishful thinking was to play well. If it were in the past, it might have really made them successful. Unfortunately, their actions this time can only prove that Al Ziri's feeling is right!

Our soldiers who were marching were suddenly ambushed by the Vietnamese army on the unconcealed terrain. Many soldiers immediately sacrificed their lives without any time to react. The soldiers screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but feel a twitching in my heart, because I felt that I had sent them to the enemy's gun, and I took their lives...

"Fight!" I didn't think much about it and quickly issued a battle order to the intercom, but in fact I didn't need to order at all, because I then realized that the gunshots in the jungle on both sides of the battle were already in chaos.

The first battalion of soldiers who had already sneaked into the woods knew the exact location of the Vietnamese army when the Vietnamese army fired, so they quickly and quietly covered the Vietnamese flanks under the guidance of the veterans... If they could endure for a while, get closer and then fire, I think the results would be greater. Unfortunately, the new recruits could not bear it at that time, so the battle started just before my order.

But even so, it was enough for the Vietnamese troops to bear it. The battle situation quickly reversed at the moment of the battle. The Vietnamese Japanese who originally thought they were hiding in the darkness to ambush our army, but they didn't expect that the mantis stalked the cicada and oriole were behind them. Suddenly they were ambushed, and they were surrounded by our army on three sides as soon as they came up. There were soldiers from the Second Battalion and the Fifth Company on the front, the reconnaissance force led by Al Ziri to the north, and the First Battalion who had long been lurking in the woods to the south.

The Vietnamese army was a veteran of many battles. He didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. As soon as the war started, the Vietnamese army was in chaos and hurriedly divided into several parts to deal with the attacks launched by our army from three to three. However, the Vietnamese army was not large in number, and the firepower of the divided into several parts seemed too thin. Therefore, the firepower of our soldiers easily overwhelmed the Vietnamese army and became closer and closer, and the closer they were...

I can't see how the PLA soldiers in other directions fought. The Second Battalion, which was attacked by the Vietnamese firepower on the road, was aroused hatred for the Vietnamese army. They all held weapons and fired bullets at the surrounding Vietnamese army in the jungle, and some even rushed into the jungle with bayonets.

"Kill!" A few minutes later, with the soldiers' roar, our soldiers erected their bayonets to break through the Vietnamese defense line, and then bursts of screams came from the jungle.
Chapter completed!
