War Military: From 1978

Chapter 153 Disgusting Cold Cannon Behavior

In fact, the Second Battalion of Regiment C still has a big problem now.

This time, they came to deliver supplies.

All the supplies that had been delivered to them were given to the regiment, and they themselves only had a little food to carry with them.

Eat sparingly and you can only last until the day after tomorrow at most.

According to the original plan, Group C even thought they could go back after delivering the supplies.

At worst, we can go from south to north and support the main attack route of the third battalion. Once it is opened, we can get supplies.

But now, the third battalion has not arrived yet, and the logistics route is still cut off, but they have been given new combat orders.

This trip meant they were completely separated from logistics.

If the Third Division can come over the day after tomorrow, or if the logistics supply route can be opened up in the rear, they will be fine.

But if they can't get through, they will fall into the same situation as before.

Isolated and helpless, and without food.

Chu An also brought up this issue when discussing the specific combat plan, but in the end he only got one word from the deputy division commander.

"The war situation can't be this bad. It's impossible for the Third Division to be unable to push through Anle for two days.

And behind us, the main force is also advancing.

There's more than just one battalion here, there are also several battalions in the regiment. The superiors can't allow a food shortage to happen again!"

In fact, because of Chu An's words, the deputy chief of staff of the regiment even made a sarcastic remark to Chu An, saying that Chu An had too little confidence in ourselves.

He said that he admitted that the Vietnamese devils were quite capable, but that our army's momentum was absolutely unstoppable.

He also brought up the story of Xiang Yu burning his boats and breaking his cauldrons.

At that time, Chu An shut up.

"Hua~" The match flickered. In the trench under the cover of night, Lao Cui helped Chu An light the match and then said, "Don't worry. People have different ideas and concepts. I understand your concerns, and I believe the captain and the others can understand too!"

"Huh~" Chu An exhaled a puff of smoke and then laughed: "I don't care!"

Looking at him, Chu An smiled and said, "Actually, I know it's useless for me to say this, because the order from the higher-ups has been issued, and we will definitely face this problem."

"Ah!" Cui Jiying sighed: "In this battle, we underestimated the Yue devils. We thought it was 40,000 against 15,000, but now..."

He shook his head.

Chu An looked at him and said nothing.

Forty thousand against fifteen thousand, Chu An knew this number.

There was propaganda before the war.

But in fact, the 40,000 against 15,000 did not include the Vietnamese militia at all.

Because this number cannot be counted.

Moreover, the Vietnamese militia at that time was just like our domestic militia, farming as their own thing. However, there was a training ground in the village where weapons were stored, and they would only assemble in times of war.

At that time, we did not consider this force as an armed force.

But now that the Vietnamese devils are fighting guerrilla warfare and have mobilized all the militia, we have discovered that our so-called military advantage is gone.

"Forget it, just take a nap. You haven't had much rest all day. You have to set off soon!"

"it is good!"

Chu An took two deep puffs of his cigarette, then put it out on the side. He stood up, bent down, and prepared to go around the trenches that the regiment and battalion had dug before and return to the reconnaissance platoon's location to rest.

Regiment C had to start its operation tomorrow morning, but he had the reconnaissance platoon even earlier.

We have to act at two o'clock in the morning, three or four hours ahead of the main force.

They would sneak into the enemy's rear at night and go straight to the Hill 312 he proposed, to pave the way for the main force, conduct reconnaissance, and even, if possible, act as a spearhead to reach Hill 312 in advance. Then, after the subsequent 4th Company arrived as the vanguard, the reconnaissance platoon would cooperate with the 4th Company to occupy Hill 312 before the main force arrived.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Chu An had just taken two steps when a shell landed less than 20 meters away. Chu An was startled.

"Damn!"

Chu An looked over and cursed softly, but that was all he said. Then he bent down and prepared to walk back as if nothing had happened.

This artillery attack was a very normal cold gun and cold artillery operation by the Vietnamese devils at night.

Although we have defensive fortifications and even have high ground behind us where our troops are stationed.

But the Vietnamese devils don't care about you. In the dark, they just dig a bunker and fire a cannon at you.

Regardless of whether they hit us or not, their goal is simply to prevent us from sleeping well.

It's disgusting, but the key is that we can't do anything about them.

After all, they are scattered and you don’t know where to find them if you want to.

We were stationed together, and they could find the right target.

For example, now, as soon as they fired a shell, the high ground behind us fired a flare in the general direction of the shell, and then the high machine guns and heavy machine guns fired at that direction.

But this is basically just hitting the air.

The Vietnamese would retreat into cover immediately after firing their cold artillery and cold guns, or run away to an area out of our sight.

You can't take revenge even if you want to.

Up to now, the only thing we can do about the actions of the Vietnamese devils is to ignore them completely.

Be well-prepared for defense and try to rest as much as possible. As for whether the cold cannon will cause casualties.

It really depends on luck.

If you are unlucky and are hiding in a bombardment hole, you will die heroically if a shell hits the hole.

"If I catch that damn Vietnamese devil tomorrow, I'm going to find some firecrackers to hang behind his ears and blow him up!"

"Why bother lighting firecrackers? Just let them sit on the explosives. I'm going to blow them up. Damn it, this is disgusting!"

As soon as Chu An came back from the reconnaissance platoon, he heard them cursing under their breath.

You really can't rest, the Japanese will shoot you from time to time.

Even though everyone knew that this kind of cold cannon had little accuracy, they still lay there and let them explode, always worried that the shell would hit their heads directly.

With the inner pressure and the sudden sound of artillery explosions, it was impossible for me to sleep well.

"Platoon leader, you're back!"

Suddenly, someone discovered Chu An coming out of the trench in the dark!

"Well, go to bed early. If you can't, close your eyes. We have an action at 2 o'clock!"

As soon as Chu An finished speaking, someone became excited: "Okay, damn it, since we can't sleep anyway, let's go kill these Vietnamese devils!"

"Platoon leader, why don't we start now instead of two o'clock!

Go find these Vietnamese devils, damn it, catch one, then find a stick and hang him up, so that these guys who shoot cold guns and cold cannons can see what happens to my disgusting labor!"

"Yeah, it's disgusting, these beasts, they don't even intend to let us sleep!"

The night was already very dark at this time, and Chu An could not see the faces of the other soldiers two or three meters away, but from their voices, he knew how much resentment they had.

"Alright, this thing is like digging maggots out of shit. It's disgusting enough to look at it, and it's even more disgusting if you try to dig it out with your hands. Close your eyes and take a rest!"

"Hey, Platoon Leader, what are you saying?"

Chu An's words made people exclaim in surprise, but Chu An immediately forced them to shut up.

Whether you can sleep or not, it’s good to close your eyes and recharge your energy.

After all, they have another tough battle coming up, and they don’t know when they will be able to rest again.
