Chapter 24 The Legend of Battle Heroes
Lao Sun described living underground as "I can't describe what it feels like".
Whenever it was dark night, the 61-year-old man could not sleep underground for a lot of time. He missed his children and wife. But he told Li Moyang that he called his son two months ago, which made him happy to this day. Lao Sun talked about
When he was a child, he was all smiles.
Lao Sun felt that living in the well would give him the motivation to support his fight for a house of his own.
"These days are coming to an end. The judge of the court told me that I am expected to win the case this year." Lao Sun rolled up a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and said, "If I win my house back, I will find a nursing home and go there."
If I can live a good life and give the house to my children, I will be satisfied for the rest of my life."
The police and urban management team members often asked about Sun's problem of living underground. Sun remembered that an urban management team member said to him: "Uncle, what are you doing? Go back and think of a solution."
Regarding this kind suggestion, Lao Sun always smiled wryly and said nothing: "I think I won't live here anymore soon, maybe this year."
Finally, Lao Sun said: "You young man doesn't know that many people live in these wells. I know about 70 or 80 people around here!"
Li Moyang was very surprised when he heard this.
Before Hu Shengsong could buy anything back, Lao Sun left. He was busy cleaning the car above, so he simply ate something and left the well.
Li Moyang continued to ask: "Uncle Zhao, can you tell me the origin of your big teapot?"
"Haha, it's not worth mentioning." Uncle Zhao's hair was gray, and a trace of rosy appeared on his face. His eyes were looking at a place in the well, as if he was recalling something.
"Tell me about it, we juniors like to hear this."
"Haha, okay, let me tell you. This is the prize I was given when I participated in the Vietnam War. Take a look at the large enamel teapot."
Uncle Zhao handed the big tea vat to Li Moyang, who held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
The teapot has lost porcelain and some dirt in many places, but the words are still bright red: "In memory of the heroes and models of the Laoshan Campaign."
"Have you ever participated in the Battle of Laoshan? What a hero!"
Uncle Zhao smiled and said: "What a hero. The superiors gave orders and our division went directly to the front line. We fought as soon as we got there. We took turns to fight. If we can survive, that's good."
"Uncle Zhao, what I mean is, since you are a hero and model, why are you like this?" Li Moyang asked cautiously, fearing that the old man would be sad.
Uncle Zhao was silent for a long time. Li Moyang handed over a cigarette, and Uncle Zhao lit it and started smoking. He said after a while: "We achieved results in that battle. Unfortunately, our battalion commander Tian died because of the shooting of the prisoners. I
In order to protect the battalion commander, I was also injured and my thigh became disabled. I was the deputy battalion commander at the time, and I was given a punishment for killing prisoners. I retired and went home without any benefits until now."
"Please tell me in detail. We juniors have never participated in any wars. We are very curious."
As soon as Li Moyang finished speaking, Hu Shengsong came down and brought some cooked goods to go with the wine, as well as a bundle of beer and several bottles of Erguotou.
After putting down his things, Hu Shengsong turned around and left. He was surprised that Li Moyang could stay down there.
After drinking a few sips of Erguotou, Uncle Zhao became energetic and talked about that legend.
The border war in the Laoshan area between China and Vietnam has entered its second year. Laoshan Frontline.
Tian Jiren, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 596th Regiment, led 17 team members to launch a surprise attack on Highland 212 and annihilated all the defenders on Highland 212. The Vietnamese army immediately organized a counterattack and finally gave up after paying the price of more than 400 casualties.
212 Highlands.
The direction of Laoshan became relatively quiet, and the Vietnamese army, which suffered a heavy blow, did not give up military operations against our defense line.
The Vietnamese army's defense line intersects with our army's defense line, and some of them are condescending in terrain, which puts great pressure on our positions. Especially in the 396 highlands east of the Panlong River, it is covered with natural caves and the terrain is complex.
The Vietnamese army took advantage of these unique favorable conditions to occupy it, built solid fortifications, and hoarded a large amount of weapons and ammunition. At the same time, it echoed with the three unnamed highlands on the flanks, forming a three-dimensional intersecting defense system.
Taking advantage of the terrain, we firmly control several positions on our army's defense line. As long as there is any movement on our army's position, the Vietnamese army's firepower on these highlands will react, forming a serious threat to the positions near our army.
A great threat.
In view of this, our army decided to remove these highlands to reduce the pressure on our defense line. After preliminary research, the division headquarters decided to use the 1st Battalion of the 596th Infantry Regiment as the main force, along with other forces to participate in this battle.
action.
After accepting the mission, Tian Jiren, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 596th Regiment, immediately formulated a combat plan and at the same time sent core personnel to cooperate with the division reconnaissance company to conduct multiple latent reconnaissances on the surrounding highlands.
Based on the information returned from the reconnaissance, Tian Jiren, commander of the 1st Battalion, formulated a detailed combat plan and organized sand table deductions, joint training and collaborative exercises according to the combat plan.
On the eve of the attack, every participating team member got enough rest and relaxation. At the same time, they were given brand-new military uniforms, took pictures, and sealed them in each person's file together with the written suicide note, and took a photo.
He sacrificed himself and left it as a lasting memorial to his family. When he came back, he left it as a lasting memorial to himself.
At dawn on D-1, the 1st Battalion of the 596th Regiment was divided into a search team, a two-wing guard team, an attack team, and grassroots command and pre-warning units to secretly enter the offensive starting position to assemble.
In order to capture prisoners, the reconnaissance company directly under the division also entered the position to wait, but was discovered by the Vietnamese army during the movement into the position. The Vietnamese army immediately fired at the location of the reconnaissance company. In desperation, the reconnaissance company immediately retreated, and the Vietnamese army
The artillery fire pursued the reconnaissance company in the retreating direction. Due to the timely retreat, no one was injured or killed.
Because the 1st Battalion was positioned forward and well concealed, its retreat was also blocked by Vietnamese artillery fire, so it decided to stay in place and wait. Subsequently, the Vietnamese army conducted a long-term artillery bombardment in the area, and the 1st Battalion and its company were tortured. However, due to the concealment
The result was good and no casualties were caused. Later, the Vietnamese army saw that there was no movement in our position, and the shelling gradually subsided.
It was night, the sky was dark and it was raining.
Various troops began to move towards the impact starting position. Each team member carried an average weight of more than 30 kilograms. They crawled forward step by step on the muddy and rugged mountain road. Many team members' clothes were torn and torn by the sharp edges of the rocks.
People were even scratched with blood dripping from their bodies.
Some soldiers lost their footing from a 7-meter-high cliff and fell into a crevice between rocks. For fear of being exposed, they endured the severe pain without saying a word, climbed up and continued moving forward. Some soldiers even risked their lives to open a path through the minefield15
rice……
Six hours later, all units secretly occupied the assault starting position only a few dozen meters away from the Vietnamese army position and launched smoothly. The assault team and the interleaved team continued to move forward in five directions according to the predetermined assigned tasks, and secretly engaged the enemy.
He lurked five meters away from the Vietnamese army's garrison cave and entered the trench that was only separated from the Vietnamese army...
In the early morning of D-Day, with the roar of rocket launchers, the battle started on time.
Our army's large-caliber artillery group and rocket launcher group bombarded 396 and the surrounding highlands indiscriminately. The soil, fortification debris, and human body parts raised by the artillery fire were flying all over the sky, and then they were smashed down heavily. The assault was concealed in the attack position.
The team members kept their faces close to the ground, feeling the violent vibrations on the ground caused by the violent explosion of the shells!
A few minutes later, our army's artillery fire began to extend, and the command "Taishan" issued an order: "Sky Eagle" to attack! The concealed commando suddenly jumped up and rushed upward following the extended artillery fire.
The reconnaissance troops and engineers responsible for the unknown highlands on the south side cut off the six communication lines of the Vietnamese army. At the same time, they quickly seized the surface positions on the unknown highlands on the south side, blocking most of the Vietnamese troops in the garrison holes, and some of them rushed out desperately.
As soon as the Vietnamese troops came out of the cave entrance, they were immediately turned into a hornet's nest by a dense rain of bullets.
In the highlands on the west side, the fire-breathing dragons of the fire-breathing soldiers sprayed firepower points of the stubborn Vietnamese troops from time to time, and a large number of Vietnamese troops were turned into coke amidst the shrill cries.
After more than 50 minutes of fierce fighting, the ground in the five attack directions was basically controlled by our army. The Vietnamese army on 396 and its surrounding highlands suffered heavy casualties. Most of the fortifications and firepower points carefully laid out by the Vietnamese army were destroyed, and the incomplete
Bodies, guns and ammunition were scattered around.
Facing the powerful offensive of our army, the remaining Vietnamese troops could no longer mount a frontal resistance and were forced to retreat into caves to continue their confrontation with our army.
Uncle Zhao stopped here when he said that, tears slid down his face, and the black ash on his face broke into gullies.
Li Moyang was very impressed. Nearly thirty years have passed since this battle, and Uncle Zhao still clearly remembers the time, location, organization, equipment, and names of the personnel. This is simply a living military history!
However, the name Tian Jiren, commander of the First Battalion, which often appeared in Uncle Zhao's mouth, sounded very familiar to Li Moyang!
Uncle Zhao was already in the state at this time, and choked up and said: "After occupying the surface, the commando team immediately moved to the second stage of search and suppression and digging holes. Battalion Commander Tian Ji and I each led a commando team to attack from both ends of the cave, and dug holes."
More than a dozen Vietnamese were killed and six prisoners were captured alive. But..."
Uncle Zhao raised his head and took a sip of wine and sighed: "But we were too careless. Victory was just around the corner. We were all too careless and did not search our bodies carefully. A Vietnamese prisoner used a pistol hidden in his arms to kill Battalion Commander Tian."
Jiren was beaten to death, the prisoner was killed by me on the spot, and the remaining prisoners were all beaten to death under my order."
"Damn it, you were punished just because of this? After retiring and returning to your hometown with no arrangements, you just lived like this?" Li Moyang was stunned. This is too unbelievable. This is a hero, even if he is beaten to death
If you kill a prisoner, it is the prisoner who fired first, and it does not count as killing the prisoner at all!
