Chapter 464: Seventh Frontier Steel Company
Wang Yong called the helicopter air patrol team who was about to return with a phone call. The Black Hawk helicopter slowly landed under the gaze of pedestrians on the street.
Under the escort of Wang Yong and the Special Forces Squad, the two old men got on the helicopter together. Wang Yong didn't even have time to say goodbye to Dawei. When the little boy and the others said, they accompanied the two old men to fly back to the mid-mountain base on a plane.
The plane landed at the base, and all the leaders of the base at home arrived at the airport to welcome them. The two old men then told the base officers and soldiers in the auditorium about the unimaginable suffering they experienced on the battlefield and their unparalleled achievements.
The two old men were He Zhengchang, who was the deputy company commander at the time, and Chen Changhong, the squad leader of the first and second squad. The troops they belonged to were the 7th Company of the 15th Border Defense Regiment at that time.
Back then, before the battle of our army to recover Laoshan, their company was ordered to lurk in Bali Shandong Mountain. At that time, the old platoon leader had just mentioned the deputy company commander in the company, and another old man also became the squad leader.
According to the deployment of the division, the 7th Company where they were located was to lurk to Bali Shandong Mountain before the start of the Laoshan Battle, based on the front of the enemy's position, and the closest place to the enemy was only more than 130 meters.
The battle to attack Laoshan lasted for three days and three nights, and they lurked under the enemy's nose for three days and three nights. According to the prior deployment, the attack here was seven days later.
This is done to achieve sudden attacks and reduce casualties in the troops. However, because once the fight starts in Laoshan, the enemy here must be more vigilant. At that time, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to lurk at the front of the enemy.
Therefore, a company, more than one hundred officers and soldiers had to enter the lurking position in advance, and they would stay for ten days and ten nights as soon as they stayed there. Ten days at that time! Not to mention that it was the wet and hot environment of the subtropical rainforest on the Sino-Vietnam border.
At that time, no one believed that they could really lurk for ten days without disturbing the enemy safely, and even the soldiers themselves did not believe it. Because this was another battlefield, any unexpected situation could happen.
Maybe an enemy accidentally discovered it, or suddenly a shell that deviated from the target. He blew the lurking warriors into the sky, or some warriors could not bear the harassment of the wet and heat there and endless harassment from various large and small insects, and made even a slight moan.
Therefore, the superiors tell them that the order is started when it is discovered.
At the same time, the superiors had to do this, considering that when our army attacked Laoshan, the enemy might infiltrate the rear of our army through this gap located on the left wing to surround our army.
The seventh company lurked here, and its first task was to ensure the safety of the flanks of my troops attacking Laoshan. However, until our army captured Laoshan, the enemy did not send troops to reinforce from here.
According to post-war analysis, first, the enemy's troops were seriously insufficient at that time, so there was not much force to carry out such a reinforcement mission. Second, our army attacked quickly. The enemy had no time to react, and Laoshan had been conquered by our army.
In order to hold their positions for a long time, the soldiers of the 7th Company left behind their backpacks, raincoats, etc., and carried as much ammunition and dry food as possible. They marched on the mountain road in the dark for 12 hours, and finally arrived at their destination at 5 a.m. the next day.
Of course, during the first day, they could only lurk far from the enemy's position to prevent exposure. That night, they touched the grass with a ridge of the 1019 highland occupied by the enemy, and the closest place to the Vietnamese devils was only more than 130 meters away.
In order not to be discovered by the enemy, they are all lurking motionless during the day, and are even afraid of falling asleep and turning over or unconscious actions in dreams to attract the attention of the enemy, so they are not allowed to sleep.
After nightfall, they used the cover of gunfire and cannon sound of our army attacking Laoshan, and carefully excavated and trimmed the fortifications.
In order not to disturb the enemy that is close to you, they can only use engineer shovels to scrape it little by little on the ground, or simply use their hands to snatch it. Because lurking under the enemy's nose, you have to be careful about everything!
After several nights of continuous efforts, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company had tidied up more than twenty covers, more than thirty single-person bunkers and cat ear piercings under the eyes of the Vietnamese army.
It is precisely because of the existence of these bunkers that they can persist in lurking for such a long time. Because of these bunkers, single bunkers and cat ear piercings, at least they can move their hands and feet in a limited space.
Otherwise, if I stayed motionless in the grass for ten days, I was afraid that I would not even stand up and then, so why would I charge? How could I fight with the Vietnamese devils?
Before the fortifications are done, they can only rely on the dry food they carry to satisfy their hunger. This is also considering the need for lurking tasks. When there are no fortifications, if they move a little bigger, they may be discovered by the enemy. Of course, they cannot make fire or let people in the rear deliver food.
Even after the fortifications were repaired, the dietary supply did not improve much: two days, a cold meal and a pot of water.
The reason for the cold rice is that it is too close to the enemy. Everyone is worried that the fragrance of hot rice will drift to the Vietnamese devils' positions and arouse their alertness. Because it was difficult for these devils to have a hot rice at that time, they were unimaginable to the smell of rice.
In this way, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company were carefully lurking under the enemy's nose.
Although there is no need to build fortifications during the day, you cannot sleep because of the frequent movement of the enemy and the reasons mentioned before.
It’s not easy to sleep at night. Not to mention anything else, it’s impossible for you to have a good sleep if you want to have a good sleep if you want.
Even the biggest problem when sleeping is what to do if you snore? What to do if you talk in a sleep? What to do if you unconsciously slap and bite your own mosquitoes in your sleep?
Therefore, in such an environment, after a few days of lurking, all the soldiers of the 7th Company were no longer adults. The big bags on their heads and faces bitten by mosquitoes, and the crotch soaked by dew and rain were also common phenomena.
These are nothing. The temperature difference between day and night here is very large, and there are several rains, which makes most of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company experience illness during the lurking process.
As the deputy company commander of the 7th Company, the old man started to have diarrhea the day after he went to the position. However, when the fortifications were not well constructed, he could only pull them in his pants.
As another old man who was the second squad leader at that time, he suffered from bronchitis. It can be imagined that if he coughed, the 7th Company would have to end in advance and lurked in advance without being prepared for the attack.
In order not to cough out, he covered his mouth with a hat or towel, buried his face in the soil and coughed gently. Every time he held it, his face was so blue that his face was thrust.
As for high fever, it is even more common. It is fine during the day. If it is sunny, you can still bask in the sun, and it will become cold at night. Especially on rainy days, you can only hide in the ears of a cat or tremble in the bunker and grit your teeth and endure it hard.
We don’t know what circumstances did the leaders at that time give such an order? How could they believe that someone or even a company could persist in lurking for ten days under such conditions?
Has no one ever considered the risk of doing this?
However, the leaders at that time issued an order and formulated this lurking plan. I don’t know if they were commanding blindly or had firm confidence in the fighting will of their subordinates.
In fact, the superiors also considered that the soldiers might not be able to hold on for ten days, so after the soldiers lurked in place, the preparations for attacking Bali Shandong Mountain were actively carried out.
However, this preparation was not going smoothly. On the one hand, in order to cope with the enemy's counterattack on the Laoshan position, the focus of work had to be shifted to Laoshan. The first thing is to stockpile enough ammunition in Laoshan.
However, in that environment at that time, the supply was entirely manpower. It took more than ten hours to go up the mountain, and more than ten hours to go down the mountain, and a few more hours to rest in the middle, so this trip would take two days.
Until the eighth day when the soldiers of the 7th Company were lurking here, after they lurked here for seven days and seven nights, the situation suddenly changed unexpectedly.
During these seven days and seven nights, all the soldiers in the company had never washed their faces, changed their clothes once, and had never had a good meal. They had never slept well for a good night's sleep. Everyone had turned into clay figures, their eyes were covered with blood, and their bodies were full of bumps from mosquito bites. Even the comrades couldn't recognize each other.
At that time, many people thought about when they could attack the enemy quickly? After the attack, the Japanese must take a shower and have a meal. If you don’t eat anything else, just eat dumplings, make sure to make meat stuffing, and then have a good sleep and sleep for three days and three nights.
I don’t know if there were any gods in the dark who heard the voices of the soldiers. On the eighth day, the Vietnamese army on the 1019 position suddenly became a movement.
He Zhengchang found that more than a dozen Japanese suddenly appeared on the Vietnamese position, busy setting up several 60 guns and 82 guns (60 mm mortars and 82 mm mortars).
He immediately determined that this was an important target of the enemy who discovered our army, otherwise he would not risk his life to use a mortar at this time.
Because they must have known that as soon as they fired the artillery shells of our army would come immediately, blow them all into pieces, and die without a complete body.
It was later proved that his judgment was correct, and the enemy discovered a team of military vehicles that our army was transporting ammunition.
After the Vietnamese agents discovered this pair of munitions transporting weapons, due to the strict sealing of our army, they did not find a chance to start, so they came up with a mortar to create a series of explosions on the road, which temporarily interrupted road transportation and then affected our army's logistics supply.
He Zhengchang, who discovered the Japanese's actions, immediately turned on the phone to report to his superiors, and then the battle started in advance.
As soon as the Vietnamese devils were set up and after adjusting the shooting of the Yuan Dynasty, our army's shells fell down roaring. More than 20 shells in the first round covered the artillery position.
The enemy artillery was successfully destroyed, but the 7th Company had trouble. You should know that the Vietnamese army set up artillery positions on the back slope of the highlands and was discovered so quickly. Needless to say, there were lurking artillery observers near us.
So, the Vietnamese army quickly sent a search team of more than ten people to search for our army's "artillery observers".
When they were getting closer and closer to the place where the seventh company lurked, they were almost several meters away, the seventh company commander knew that they would not be able to fight.
"kill--"
A series of gunfires turned the shocked Vietnamese search team into sieves. After that, the cover artillery fire in the rear immediately began to bomb the Vietnamese position. After only one round of fire, the artillery fire began to extend, and the soldiers rushed up with the bombing point of the shells.
The soldiers of the 7th Company rushed to the position before the enemy came out of the anti-cannon hole or tunnel.
After more than ten minutes, the battle ended. The 7th Company only paid the price of five casualties and took this position that was of great significance to our army, and wiped out dozens of Vietnamese devils and seized a large number of military supplies stored by the enemy.
After the war, in order to commend the merits made by the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company, the superiors awarded the 7th Company a first-class collective merit. At the same time, the Central Military Commission also issued an order to award the honorary title of "Border Defense Steel Seventh Company" to the 7th Company of the 15th Border Defense Regiment.
