Chapter 7 Chapter VII March 8 Battle

On March 7th, the command post of Regiment A of 208 Heights was holding a military democratic meeting. The commandos of the third battalion who will be the attacking force of tomorrow will jointly study the combat plan for their own combat missions in front of the sand table. The chief of staff of the regiment conveyed the intention, determination and requirements of this operation to the commandos.He said: "The superior ordered our regiment to capture the 156, 166, and 168 highlands occupied by the Vietnamese army tomorrow. Three commandos will enter the starting area at 21:00 tonight, remove landmines, and open up an offensive channel for the follow-up troops to ensure that the mission is completed before 5:00 a.m., and attack the three positions at the same time at 5:00 a.m., seize the forward position, and attack for the troops The highlands create conditions. The difficulties are considerable, and we believe that you will be able to overcome the difficulties and complete the mission brilliantly, and when you return triumphantly, we will drink the celebration wine together."

The commandos and leaders at all levels carefully analyzed the terrain and features on the offensive route, how to clear landmines, how to avoid the enemy's firepower, and try to take the method of sneak attack to occupy the forward position. If the enemy finds out, they will immediately switch to a strong attack. Subsequently, the head of the regiment entertained the commandos.It was difficult to prepare food on the battlefield, so the military supply department sent all kinds of canned food such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc., opened them and arranged them in a piece, and stipulated that they all drink champagne.

The political commissar asked the commandos for their opinions, "What other ideas and requests do you have?" At this time, Xiao Li said: "Chief! I have a request. I don't know if I should say it or not?" The political commissar said: "No matter what you ask, you can talk about it." Xiao Li went on to say, "I'm 25 years old this year. I haven't been in a relationship so far, and I've never met a woman. I want to ask a lesbian to toast me. I wonder if it's okay?" The political commissar thought for a moment, said: "Yes." And informed the field hospital accompanying the army, "Send 24 female soldiers quickly, all wearing skirts, and run to the regiment command post to assemble."

The female soldiers arrived soon, and the commandos had already lined up and waited there.Each of the female soldiers held a military teacup with both hands, half of which was filled with champagne, lined up in front of the commandos, and handed them to the commandos with both hands.I saw Xiao Li tightly grasping the female soldier's hand, opening his mouth to drink, the wine flowed down his neck, staring straight at her, unwilling to let go for a long time.Finally, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment. After the head of the regiment shook hands with the commandos one by one, they began to walk back to the company.Xiao Li left the army with the excuse of "convenience".He walked casually, and came to a mountain bag full of military tents, which was the frontline ambulance station of the field hospital.He heard the sound of "squeaking" water in a tent, so he quietly opened a corner of the window, and was immediately stunned. A female soldier was taking a bath inside.

I saw this female soldier standing naked in a plastic basin with her back to him, holding a jar in her hand, bending over to scoop water from the bucket, and then pouring it over her head.The long black hair is like a black waterfall, hanging on the shoulders, making the skin more white and delicate; the water flows along the long hair to the white skin; her waist is so slender with round shoulders, and the water passes through the round buttocks Fork, flow to the thin and long legs.Suddenly she turned around, with sparse "begonias" resting on her broad forehead, the two big eyes on Guazi's face were slightly closed, and the lower end of the high nose bridge looked a bit pointed, similar to European nose bridges, maybe it was You must be of mixed race; the white and neat teeth are exposed in the two thin lips, and the round dimples on the face are very eye-catching; the two big and round breasts on the chest are slightly drooping, the nipples are slightly upturned, and the deep cleavage runs through the middle of the breasts. However, like a long canyon, the water flows down from the nipples like milk, like a mother’s milk feeding her baby; the flat and smooth abdomen makes the various lines of a woman more prominent and graceful, and the gap between the legs The black part of the triangle is so conspicuous...

"Don't move! Raise your hands!" He was so excited that he forgot everything around him. Two female soldiers were holding submachine guns and escorted him into the tent.He began to interrogate him, and after finding out his exact identity, he insisted on handing him over to the army for serious treatment. Xiao Li cried and said: "Big Sister! You must not hand me over to the army. I have already joined the commando attacking the 168 Heights and will set off in a few hours. I don't know whether it will be life or death this time, because I have never seen what a woman looks like, and I feel sorry to die. When I passed by here and saw you taking a shower, I couldn’t help but sneak a peek. I’m really sorry; if you tell our leaders now, I might lose I will regret the opportunity to join the commando team for the rest of my life. Why don't I report to my leader after nine o'clock in the evening. At that time, I have already embarked on the journey to attack the 168 Heights. No matter how the leader punishes me, it will not affect my participation in this battle."

The female soldiers were moved by his determination and sincerity to take part in the battle, and said, "We don't blame you. If you don't see clearly, we sisters will take off together for you to see enough." Get dressed. Xiao Li hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, thank you for your kindness, I have seen what a real woman looks like, and I have no regrets in dying." He gave a military salute and ran to the front line. How sincere and precious the relationship between people on the battlefield is.In order to meet the psychological needs of the commandos, the female soldiers put aside shame and humiliation and showed their most precious bodies in front of the opposite sex.Let comrades in arms get spiritual satisfaction before engaging in fierce battles. These selfless dedication and commendable spirit are a powerful embodiment of the noble qualities of the new generation of soldiers.

The commandos entered the predetermined area on time, lying on the ground, holding a thin steel needle about 40 centimeters long in their hands.Slowly push aside the grass with your hands, keep stabbing the ground lightly with steel needles, when you encounter a hard object, carefully remove the red soil on it with both hands, pick up the landmine and put it next to it. Since most of the mines used on the front line are plastic landmines, traditional mine detectors are useless, so we have to use simple methods to move forward little by little.The attack channel is required to be 1.5 meters wide, and for each row of mines, small red flags must be planted on both sides to point out the direction for the attacking troops.

The team members moved forward alternately, the small red flag continued to extend forward, and more and more mines were piled up beside the passage, and thousands of mines had been cleared in the passage of several hundred meters.At about four in the morning, all the commandos had completed the task of opening the passage, and the team members kept looking at the pointer on the luminous watch, patiently waiting for the moment to attack. The sky was slightly bright, and the Vietnamese army, which stood firm all night, believed that the dangerous moment had passed, and began to retreat to the garrison cave to make fire and cook. There was no one in the front of the position.

The attacking troops followed closely behind the commandos.The best time to attack was already in place, when the needle just pointed to 5:00 a.m., Tian Cheng, the commander of the Ninth Company, waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers quietly climbed to the 168 Heights, and quickly occupied the position in front of the Tunbing Cave.The two 82 recoilless guns belonging to the No. 9 Company of the No. 3 Artillery Company quickly set up facing the entrance of the cave. As soon as the squad leader gave the order to "release", the shells flew into the cave, and the sound of explosions, cries, and shouts intertwined in one piece.Immediately afterwards, the fire-breathing soldiers sprayed two more shots into the cave with a flamethrower. The fire burned blazingly in the cave, and soon there was no sound in the cave.

When the troops entered the cave to search, the Vietnamese soldiers who had been killed by the bombing lay in a haphazard manner on the ground, and some were burnt to coke and curled together. The troops continued to attack the summit of the highlands. Zhang Haitao, the second platoon leader of the Third Artillery Company, led the scout Li Bao to the command post of the 128th Battalion to set up a front-line observation station (front-line observation post) so that artillery fire could be used to support the third battalion in a timely manner. The troops are in a high-level combat state, the command post and the artillery are on duty 24 hours a day, and all personnel are not allowed to leave the position for half a step. When an order is given, the shells must be discharged within one minute. At four o'clock in the morning, the whole company got up and stood ready for battle. At 6 o'clock, the B Division, which was standing on the east mountain of Bali, began to shell the Vietnamese army. At 7:10, the artillery regiment of Division A began shelling. At 7:15, the third artillery company went into battle. At this time, the two sides launched a large-scale artillery battle, and the front positions were fired together, rumbling and rumbling.The flames flickered like lightning, and the smoke enveloped the entire position. In the 160 mortar position, 12 soldiers operated four artillery pieces, and they carried forward the spirit of fearing neither hardship nor tiredness.Zhang Jinbao, a new soldier who had just joined the army, was wounded by shrapnel from the Vietnamese army on his back, bleeding profusely. His comrades sent him to the ambulance to be bandaged.Zou Jun immediately informed the whole company of Zhang Jinbao's deeds of not being able to go to the front line with minor injuries, and called on everyone to learn from Zhang Jinbao, carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, tiredness, and death, and fight this battle well so that he can not go to the front line with minor injuries and not go to the front line with serious injuries. Cry or not. In the 82nd mortar position, the battle became more intense. They fired at 40 targets in turn.There is no time to eat, and there is no time to drink water; most soldiers fight in pants and vests.The infantry called for artillery support one after another, and when they were most tense, they fired at three targets at the same time.It was too late to install the shells, and the clerks, cooks, and telephone soldiers were all involved in sorting out the shells, some moved the shells out of the ammunition box, and some put fuzes on the shells. The battle is raging on.Due to the long-term shooting, the three-gun seat plate slipped backwards, and the soil layer was shattered, making it impossible to fight.The third battalion is launching an attack on the high ground. The Vietnamese army is resisting. The battle for positions is very fierce. The enemy shells are raining down on them. Facing the vicious enemy, they need artillery support too much. Time is life, and time is victory. .Zou Jun ordered the three artillery to complete the fortification within 30 minutes. Under the leadership of the artillery commander (squad leader), the four soldiers quickly withdrew the artillery from the fortification, dug a pit downward, laid a layer of logs inside, and built another After a thick layer of soil, a row of stakes was built behind the seat plate with a thick bowl of wood, and the artillery was moved into the fortification. In order to enter the battle as soon as possible, it must be fired immediately.So Zou Jun braved the enemy's artillery fire, climbed up the opposite hillside with the steering wheel on his back, and the shells continued to explode around him. He ignored it completely and gave the three cannons a good shot in the shortest time.The three artillery pieces were thrown into fierce battle again. At 14:30, the good news came from the phone, and the A regiment successfully won the 156, 166, and 168 highlands.At this time, like gamblers who lost their money, the Vietnamese army rushed towards the positions that Regiment A had just captured. The positions were at stake, and calls for artillery support came from the front line one after another.The cannon let out an angry roar, and countless shells flew towards the forward position overwhelmingly. The enemy's first counterattack failed, and another corpse was dropped in front of the position. Unwilling to fail, the enemy launched another attack on Height 168 after adjusting their forces.The enemy approached the high ground step by step, 200 meters - 150 meters - 100 meters. At this time, the voice of Tian Cheng, the commander of the ninth company, asking for artillery support came from the phone.The third artillery company immediately went into battle, and with 5 rapid fires, the attack of the Vietnamese army was frustrated again. Their master got angry and directed the long-range artillery to fire at the position of the three artillery companies.On the hilltop 50 meters in front of the position, the air waves of the shells exploded one after another, and dust and smoke enveloped the entire hilltop.On the hillside behind, dozens of shells exploded in succession, and the shrapnel whizzed and flew overhead.Unable to suppress the firepower, the Vietnamese army began to fire air-burst shells, which exploded suddenly when they flew over the position. The shells were filled with steel balls and fell from the air like raindrops.Zou Jun immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the fortifications to defend against artillery.A soldier moved a little slower, and the steel balls hit the helmet with a loud bang; a washbasin of Zou Jun in front of the command post was pierced with several holes. In just four hours, about 240 shells fell on the hillside around the position of the third artillery company, and the soldiers continued to fight.The Vietnamese army turned its target to Tianbao Farm again. Nearly 20 shells exploded on the farm office building, and several houses collapsed. "No phone! No phone!" shouted the telephone soldier.The wires were blown off by Vietnamese artillery shells. "Check the line!" Zou Jun gave an order to the telephone soldiers. Two telephone soldiers jumped out of the cat's ear hole, holding the telephone wire and ran away. In the open ground 500 meters past the bow of the ship, there were bomb craters one after another. One bomb crater jumped into another, shells kept exploding around them, the smoke blinded people's eyes, and the smell of gunpowder made people breathless.They marched hard along the wires, and Zou Jun's heart was beating along with them. Zou Jun's heart was tugged at the need to convey the combat orders from superiors, whether the wires could be connected, and whether the personnel could return safely.At this time, a few shells flew towards them. It was too late, but soon, one of them rolled into the ditch that rolled to the side of the road.Zou Jun's eyes moved away from the telescope unconsciously, he couldn't bear to look any further, and waited anxiously—— "Dingling." The phone finally rang.Zou Jun hurriedly picked up the receiver, the voice of the telephone soldier came from the receiver, it was him, it was him, the telephone line was connected, and they successfully completed the task.Zou Jun's hanging heart slowly calmed down. As of 20:00, a total of four enemy attacks were repelled throughout the day. The three artillery companies fired 221 rounds of 160 mortar shells and 832 rounds of 82 mortar shells.The regiment killed 171 enemies that day. At night, the fighting was still raging. Unwilling to fail, the Vietnamese army organized troops to attack various highlands.The call for artillery support from the front line came from the radio waves.The cannon began to rage again, and when it was ejected, it was like lightning, and the flames continued to flash across the dark night sky.Especially when the rocket launcher is fired, the tail of the gun drags a long fire dragon, flies over the head, and explodes on the enemy's position. The extremely flammable explosives ignite the combustibles, and there are patches of fire on the position. The hum and explosion of 160 mortar shells flying in the air merge together, echoing in the valley non-stop, and the whole night sky is full of a world of sound. Another counterattack by the Vietnamese army was repelled. At 3 o'clock in the morning, the Vietnamese army once again concentrated its forces and launched a new round of counterattacks.The forward infantry fought back with the support of artillery fire. The Vietnamese army did not take advantage of it, so they shelled the 111 and 156 highlands held by the A regiment.In order to teach the enemy a lesson, the superior ordered the long-range artillery of the army and division to attack the deep artillery positions of the Vietnamese army; the artillery of the regiment and battalion focused on attacking the enemy in the forward position, effectively suppressing the vitality of the enemy, timely supporting the infantry fighting, and consolidating the new occupation The position and the line of defense of Division A. It started to rain, and the enemy gradually stopped attacking, and turned to the stage of cold guns and cold guns.Zou Jun stood under the kapok tree next to the command post, letting the rain wash away. He wanted to take the opportunity to wash off the dirt on his body and relieve the fatigue of the past few days. At 21:00 on March 9th, after a day's rest, the Vietnamese army organized forces to launch a large-scale attack on the A regiment's position.The front line was in a hurry again, and at 21:15, the Third Artillery Company went into battle again. The battle was going on fiercely, and the Vietnamese army was approaching the front step by step, calling for artillery support one after another.Distributed within a few kilometers deep of the position, artillery of various calibers were put into battle, and the sound of explosions merged together, which was deafening and continued for a long time.The counterattacks of the Vietnamese army became more and more fierce every time. The last counterattack had just been defeated, and then another counterattack started again. The battle became more and more intense, and the infantrymen were calling "Shoot at target No. 87!" "Shoot at target No. 93!" "Shoot at target No. 7 and target No. 201"... The battle was raging, "3 quick shots"! "7 rapid fires!" "10 rapid fires"... Zou Jun kept firing orders to each gun.Immediately there was a panic on the battlefield, and it was too late to assemble the shells. The cooks, clerks, and hygienists all devoted themselves to sorting out the shells. "Good fight, good fight!" "We applaud the artillery comrades!" "Thank the artillery for supporting us!" The cheers of the infantry came from the radio waves one after another. Ammunition consumption has dropped sharply. In less than four hours, the three artillery companies have fired more than 1,000 shells. "Dingling!" The three-step single machine of the command post of the Third Artillery Company kept ringing, and the two radio stations also kept shouting.Under the cover of night, the Vietnamese army launched an attack on Heights 156, 166, and 168. They were already close to the front of the A regiment's position. "Fire flares!" Immediately, bright fireballs hung in the sky, and the ground was illuminated brightly.The Vietnamese army was completely exposed, and shells flew towards them as if they had eyes. Two Vietnamese soldiers were blown up into the sky.In order to suppress the firepower of the A regiment, dozens of shells landed around the position of the third artillery company in a short period of time. "Hey! Hey!" The phone line was blown off again. "Check the line!" Following Zou Jun's order, telephone soldiers Du Changming and Li Suian rushed out of the fortification and ran to the shelling area.The drizzling rain, the muddy road, they fell so many times, and they struggled to crawl on the ground while holding the line with one hand... At this time, the Vietnamese army had rushed to Heights 166.The third battalion immediately organized a counterattack, with submachine guns and grenades hitting head-on, and the position was at stake.In order to effectively support the infantry fighting, Zou Jun recruited two Wenzhou soldiers when the telephone line was not connected, and communicated orders in local dialects through the radio to ensure that the battle continued. On the 168th highland, Tian Cheng, the commander of the Ninth Company, is directing soldiers to fight against the enemy's attack.The enemy has already attacked the position twice, and they have beaten them down. The highlands have been covered by artillery fire from the Vietnamese army many times, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The Vietnamese army attacked again.They approached the top of the mountain in batches. In order to observe the enemy's situation, Tian Cheng immediately called "flares" to the artillery. The third artillery company fired a flare every five minutes. The flare stayed in the air for dozens of seconds, illuminating the position as if it were daytime. , The Vietnamese army was completely exposed under the eyes of the soldiers, and they kept indicating the target to the artillery.The enemy fell one by one, but despite the powerful artillery fire, the enemy still frantically attacked the top of the mountain.Some enemies use the cover of cliffs and terrain features to advance step by step to the edge of the position. When they enter the blind spot of artillery fire, they stop to take a breath and continue to attack. 200 meters - 150 meters - 100 meters - "Fight!" Tian Cheng, commander of the Ninth Company, gave an order.The soldiers crawled on the edge of the trench and kept shooting at the enemy with submachine guns.The artillery fire of the Vietnamese army continued to bombard the 168 Heights to cover their attack and suppress the firepower of the A regiment.The enemy's corpses in front of the position were one after another, and the casualties of the Ninth Company were also increasing. The enemy is only fifty meters away from the forward position.At this time, Tian Cheng, the commander of the Ninth Company, ordered the sound of directional mines.The arc-shaped directional landmine arranged at the front is filled with steel balls. Once it is fired, the steel balls are sprayed forward at an angle of more than 100 degrees. The steel balls have a high density and a wide spray surface, forming a great lethality.I saw the Vietnamese soldiers were hit by steel balls on the head and body in many places, blood was flowing, and some of them covered their heads with their hands and kept rolling on the ground. On a small hill on the left side of the 168th highland, a squad of the Ninth Company stood firm here. This was a passage for the Vietnamese army to attack the main peak. They withstood the enemy's counterattacks many times.The pressure was heavy, the responsibility was heavy, and the casualties continued to increase at the same time. In the end, there were only three soldiers left. They jumped out of the trench for a while and threw grenades for a while.The ammunition became less and less, and finally there were only two grenades left. A new soldier grabbed it and threw it away. The deputy squad leader next to him stopped him and said, "This is the last one. Let's keep it and die with the enemy!" You must not be caught by the enemy as a prisoner." They held the last grenade tightly in their hands, waiting for the most critical moment... After nearly two days of fierce fighting, the Ninth Company suffered heavy casualties.Tian Cheng, commander of the Ninth Company, saw his comrades fighting side by side, falling down one by one. The wounded soldiers were lying on the ground with missing arms and legs, bleeding continuously, not crying or screaming.Couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he picked up the phone and connected to the No. 1 head of the regiment. He cried and said, "No. 1 head! I am Tian Cheng. At present, my company has suffered heavy casualties. If the fight continues, there will be a memorial service in the future. I'm afraid No one attended, please save some people for me to attend the memorial service!" Chief No. 1 said: "Tian Cheng! You are now the commander of the company. You must pay attention to your emotions. Everyone is watching you. Your words and deeds directly affect every soldier; you must persist for another 24 hours. Transfer the reserve team to replace you." Tian Cheng said: "Please rest assured, Chief, I will be in the position within 24 hours." He put down the phone, immediately exchanged opinions with the instructor, and then conveyed the order of the No. The wounded who participated in the battle organized to ensure that the position was not lost within 24 hours. On the battlefield, the wounded immediately acted.The slightly wounded forgot the pain and fought bravely; the seriously wounded were not willing to lag behind.Some of the arms were blown off, and the first aid kit was tied up, and a grenade was held in one hand, and the cover of the grenade was screwed down with his teeth, and then handed over to other comrades to throw; With a tie, the legs with bones exposed, propped on the ammunition box and continued to shoot, blood flowed down the ammunition box, staining the ground under his feet; a soldier's intestines were dragging outside his stomach, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his stomach , Tore the military uniform into strips, tied it on the stomach, and went into battle again.This kind of touching scene where minor injuries can't get out of the line of fire, and serious injuries can't cry or cry, is tear-jerking.Due to long-term intense shelling, the positions of the third artillery company were unable to continue to participate in the battle.Zou Jun ordered: "Build the fortification in 30 minutes." They quickly withdrew from their positions and devoted themselves to the intense construction of the fortification. At this time, the enemy launched an attack on the high grounds such as 166 and 168 again. The infantry called for artillery support one after another. As soon as the fortifications were built, Zou Jun grabbed the steering wheel and climbed to the opposite hillside. He jumped over the craters. , looking for the best assigned shooting position in the artillery fire, and skillfully set up the steering wheel, assigned the reference shooting direction for the second artillery and the sixth artillery, and they quickly went into battle again. The three artillery companies kept firing at the enemy, and the casualties of the Vietnamese army increased sharply, so they hated this position and wanted to take it away, so they called in the housekeeping weapon, the Red Arrow-73 missile.This kind of missile is a wire-guided missile developed in the 1970s. After launching, there is a wire behind the missile connected to the operator. The operator can correct the flight direction of the missile at any time according to the flight situation of the missile until it hits the target.Its fatal weakness is poor accuracy and is greatly affected by terrain and features. The enemy became angry and fired three missiles in a row, one missed the target, one became a dud, and only one exploded on the hillside in front of the third artillery company. The diameter was nearly ten meters, and the black smoke in the three-meter-deep crater lasted for a long time. scattered.The shock wave generated during the explosion knocked off the sacks filled with soil on several fortifications, the powerful explosion sounded, and the ear bleeds, roaring for a long time; shrapnel and soil were scattered on the entire position, but fortunately no casualties were caused. In the Artillery Command Post of Regiment A, more than a dozen single telephones rang non-stop, and the calls for artillery support from the front line came here together, and then transmitted to the artillery positions through radio waves, "Second Artillery Company No. 9 target, four rounds were fired in a hurry. ""Heavy artillery company No. 54 target, eight rounds in rapid fire." "One artillery company and No. 3 artillery company No. 93 target, 10 rounds in rapid fire!" "Let it! Let it! Let it go!" "Hey! Hey! Paozhi! Paozhi! My company's ammunition inventory has dropped to 2,000 rounds, and I am applying for refills." Zou Jun submitted an application to Paozhi for replenishing shells.At one o'clock in the morning, the stock of shells dropped to 1,000 rounds, and he applied to Paozhi for refilling the shells again. At 1:50, there were only 500 shells on the position, and the battle was still going on fiercely. The situation was extremely urgent. The voice of "I want shells! I want shells!" was transmitted from the artillery positions to the artillery command post. The command post of Division A issued an order "The boat and bridge company rushed to transport the shells!" The command post of regiment A ordered the migrant worker company, the political department, the headquarters, and the logistics department to all dispatch to rush to transport the shells.At this time, a transport army composed of staff officers, officers, and migrant workers, under the leadership of the deputy political commissar and the director of the political department, formed a long flow of people, and along the muddy path, transported ammunition to the artillery positions with difficulty. The shells were temporarily relieved, and the cannon began to speak again.Under the illumination of the flares, the enemies fell one by one. In front of the 166 and 168 highlands, the corpses of the Vietnamese army were connected into pieces.The enemy suffered a loss at Height 166, unwilling to fail, and launched an attack on Heights 111 and 255, where Regiment A was defending. Shells and machine guns kept firing at these two positions. The third squad of the No. 3 Artillery Company standing on the 255 Heights used 82 recoilless guns to shoot at an enemy firepower point, destroying the firepower point of the Vietnamese army. The soldier Lu Wenwu was injured in the waist during the battle, but he still insisted on fighting. Its daybreak.The counterattack of the Vietnamese army was completely defeated. The 156, 166, 168 highlands and the 111, 255 positions are still intact, and every inch is controlled by the A regiment. At 8:30, the fighting gradually stopped and turned to the stage of cold guns and cold guns. According to statistics, the Third Artillery Company fired a total of 2,340 shells and 55 flares at 11 hours and 30 minutes from 21:00 last night to 8:30 in the morning, killing 370 enemies in the whole regiment. Due to the fierce fighting last night, all the fortifications were damaged. In the morning, Zou Jun notified the squads to build the fortifications, and then he checked the firing directions of the artillery. In the afternoon, several carts of shells were brought, and Zou Jun led 30 soldiers to Litou village to carry shells. They carried 2,500 rounds successively, and the stock of shells on the position reached 4,500 rounds. At 3 o'clock in the morning on March 11, the Vietnamese army began to attack the three highlands newly occupied by the A regiment. The soldiers fought back and threw themselves into the intense battle. As soon as Zou Jun received the shooting order, the soldiers got out of the cat's ear holes and went into battle wearing shirts and shorts, and the shells kept flying out of the barrel.They have only one wish, to carry forward the spirit of not fearing hardship and death, to effectively support the infantry in fighting, and to ensure that the position is not lost.Play national prestige, play military prestige, so that the Party Central Committee and the people of the whole country can rest assured. The battle lasted until 7:30 in the morning, repelling the Vietnamese army's counterattacks many times. In the end, they were no longer able to attack, so they had to retreat and report their death to their masters. The front line gradually returned to its former calm. The superior decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to replenish ammunition and combat supplies to the front line. The migrant worker company attached to Regiment A is a basic militia company in a certain county in Yunnan Province. They have not rested for three days and three nights. They deliver ammunition to the forward positions at night, carry the wounded and martyrs when they return, and deliver shells to the artillery positions during the day.The young men in their twenties were too tired to stand upright. At first some carried four boxes, but now it was very difficult to carry one box. One by one, they climbed up the mountain step by step with heavy steps. collapsed on the hillside. An ammunition vehicle drove into Litou village and was discovered by the Vietnamese army. They immediately blocked the road leading to the position of the third artillery company with artillery fire.As soon as the company of migrant workers launched from the Litou village carrying shells, rows of shells followed the migrant workers. The migrant workers sometimes lay down and sometimes advanced, their clothes were torn and their arms were broken. In order to destroy the logistics support line of the A regiment, the Vietnamese army has been blocking the road leading to the front line with artillery fire, and the speed of sending shells has been relatively slow.In order to reduce casualties and speed up the delivery of ammunition, they had to choose a more concealed climbing route. A total of 753 shells were fired throughout the day. In recent days, the fighting has not been as intense as the previous few days. It usually takes place on the eve of the day, with an average of 200 to 300 rounds of artillery shells fired per day. Zou Jun took advantage of this rare opportunity to tidy up the command post with health workers and clerks. They disassembled the ammunition boxes and spread them neatly on the ground, which was clean and moisture-proof.Later, the ammunition box was placed on the second floor, and a layer of wooden boards was laid on it to form a simple bed. Under the tall kapok tree outside the command post, a piece of land was leveled, a table made of shell boxes and a few exquisite stools were placed beside the tree, which solved the problems of eating and writing.At the same time, a locker is also placed at the entrance of the command post, inside which are neatly placed lunch boxes, tooth jars, dried noodles, etc., and an aluminum pot is placed on the kerosene stove next to it. Zhang Haitao, the second platoon leader, returned to the command post with half of the artillery mirror on his back. When he saw Zou Jun hugging him, he cried and said, "Instructor! I almost couldn't see you." It turned out that on March 8, he was ordered to take a soldier to set up an observation post on a certain highland in the frontier. For several days, he had been indicating the target for the artillery, but was later discovered by the enemy.At 13:30 a day, he observed for several hours and felt tired, so he put the artillery glasses on there and drilled into a crevice in the stone next to him, mainly wanting to take a rest. Come here and blow up the artillery mirrors.A piece of shrapnel hit his leg, blood was flowing, and he broke out in a cold sweat. If he was more than ten seconds later, he might be "glorious." He put his arms around his trousers to show Zou Jun, and he had already pulled out the shrapnel. , holding a first aid kit on the wound. Zou Jun comforted him and asked him to stay on the battlefield for two days, and ordered the cooking team to add a few dishes for lunch and get him a bottle of red wine to calm him down. In the afternoon, Zou Jun went to the Qiantian 160 mortar position to learn about the combat situation of the previous few days. In the battle, 12 of them operate four artillery pieces, which usually requires nearly 40 people to complete.In four days, 650 shells were fired, totaling 41 tons, and 700 shells were unloaded, totaling 43 tons.During the battle, due to the shortage of manpower, the deputy company commander Zhu Xuewen, the cooks, and the support staff all went into battle. Loaded in the barrel.They didn't sleep for four days and four nights. They were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs. The two soldiers passed out beside the artillery, and as soon as they woke up, they went into battle again.The ravine behind the position is full of empty ammunition boxes, and the shells that have just been unloaded next to the artillery are piled there, and they have not had time to arrange them neatly. Looking at the situation on the position, one can know the fierce battle scenes of the previous few days. When Zou Jun was about to leave the 160 mortar position, the soldiers surrounded him all at once and said together: "Please take care, instructor!" Zou Jun shook hands with them one by one, and lifted Zhang Jindong's clothes to inspect his wound.In the interaction with the soldiers, everyone is very enthusiastic.After the test of battle, the friendship between officers and soldiers and comrades-in-arms has deepened, the feelings between comrades have become harmonious, the spirit of bearing hardships has become stronger, and mutual care and mutual help have become more conscious. best place. On March 15, Zou Jun was ordered to join the battalion party committee at Heights 262.At the meeting, the deputy head of the regiment conveyed the speech of the head of the division, which was mainly a summary and evaluation of the combat situation of the A regiment on March 8. First conveyed the speech of the head of the regiment at the party committee: "This battle is the most successful example of using sneak attack tactics; it is a battle example of winning more with less; it is a battle example of achieving the greatest victory at a small price. In this battle, a total of enemies were killed. 599 people, 354 people were injured. They repelled the enemy's platoon and attacked 24 times. They severely damaged the 1st Battalion of the 14th Regiment of the 313th Division and taught the 2nd and 3rd Battalions a lesson. Combat experience: First, the preparation time is long, the work is meticulous, The first batch of 24 people attacked in multiple ways, using the opportunity of the enemy to eat to block the entrance of the cave; second, commanding at the front is the key to victory, and commanders at all levels have been following the troops, keeping abreast of the battlefield situation, and commanding the battle at any time; The close coordination of the infantry and artillery is the guarantee of victory. The artillery can timely and accurately display firepower according to the needs of the infantry; Fifthly, timely military industry support is an important condition for victory. When the battle is most intense, ensuring the timely supply of ammunition and evacuation of the wounded stabilizes the emotions of the commanders and fighters.” When conveying the deputy commander's evaluation of the A regiment's operations, he said: "The least number of troops is used, and the number of offensive routes is the most; the cost is the least, the result is the greatest; the preparation is the longest, and the work is the most detailed." Finally, the instructions of the political commissar Shi of the A regiment were conveyed: "The guiding ideology of the next stage is to 'persevere for a long time without losing an inch of ground; The tasks are: 'One is to strengthen the ideological education of long-term combat; the other is to boost morale, prevent war weariness, vigorously publicize the results of the battle, and talk about the deeds of the martyrs; the third is to strengthen the sense of responsibility of the cadres, the work must be in-depth and meticulous, and the achievements and credits should be treated correctly' .” At the end of the meeting, the battalion instructor reported the basic situation of the 3rd and 8th battles: "In this battle, the Vietnamese army fired a total of 6,520 shells at the positions held by our battalion, destroying 502 meters of trenches, and the whole battalion withstood the enemy's shelling , recaptured the three highlands, defeated the Vietnamese army's many counterattacks, and achieved brilliant results; The successful completion of the stage combat mission." After the meeting, Zou Jun talked to the soldiers of the first, third, and sixth squads who were standing at the front line.I learned about the fighting situation in the previous few days, and praised their performance on the 255th and other high grounds, especially affirmed Lu Wenwu's bravery in battle, not being injured, and his spirit of persisting in fighting, and called on the whole company learn from them.In view of their long time in the frontier, hard life, frequent battles, high mental pressure, and eagerness to return to Hangzhou, we patiently and meticulously enlightened them, requiring everyone to establish the idea of ​​long-term combat, correctly deal with all difficulties, and stick to it until the last minute. After Zou Jun and the comrades in the three squads separated, they came to the 145 Highland Observation Post again to conduct a detailed observation of the positions of the frontier Vietnamese troops. Looking down from Height 145, on an open land, the traffic trenches dug by the Vietnamese army are scattered in all directions, some of which are basically connected with the A regiment. 145高地右侧，几个突出的小山包上，布署着越军的火力点，对A团构成很大的威胁。敌人经常利用右侧的堑壕，对三营进行偷袭。经过几次激烈的战斗，这里原有的几座房屋成了一片瓦砾；大大小小的弹坑分布在山坡上。各种各样的地雷到处都是，山坡上越军的屯兵洞口清晰可见，远处大清山上五个碉堡分外显眼，周围山坡上的松树，被炸的横七竖八的躺在那里；灰黑色的石头上被炮弹炸成一个个白点，有的被炸的到处乱滚。曾被烧焦的山坡上，嫩绿的小草破土而出，又恢复了生机。 145高地左侧的142高地，小小的黄土包约有10米高，一条弯曲的堑壕紧紧地缠在山半腰，堑壕边堆满装满土的麻袋和编织袋，山坡上像被犁过一样，很少看到青草。南侧20米处是越军占领的一个山包，上面是敌人的一个狙击步枪发射点，只要A团三营战士一露头，就要付出血的代价，白天阵地上看不到一个人，只能整天蹲在猫耳洞里，大小便也要在洞里解决；天黑后，才能钻出猫耳洞，爬在堑壕边透透气，不敢说话咳嗽，否则就会迎来一阵枪炮声；只有在夜幕的掩护下战士才能去背水；炊事班每天坚持送一次饭。三炮连的二班、四班就坚守在这个高地上，整天经受着死神的威胁和苦累的折磨，战士个个都是长长的头发，乌黑的面孔，穿着散发着汗臭味，已经辨认不出颜色的军衣。 他们为祖国付出了多么大的代价，当青年男女手挽着手，漫步在花前月下的时候，当无数个温馨的家庭团聚，欣赏文艺节目的时候，可曾想到前线的战士；他们为了让无数个家庭过上幸福的生活，整天处在恶劣的生活环境里，而唯一的要求就是每天能吃上三餐热饭，喝一杯滚烫的浓茶，散散步，活动一下筋骨。就是这些要求能说高吗？可是，在前线却成了一种奢望。可见可爱的战士为祖国和人民牺牲了多少个人的幸福，能说他们不可爱吗？能说他们不伟大吗？他们每天经受着人们无法忍受的困难和折磨，唯一的想法就是“克服一切困难，坚守阵地，确保祖国的领土，寸土不丢，以实际行动捍卫祖国的尊严，让全国人民过上安静的生活。”这就是一名军人同普通群众的区别之处。 邹军返回908高地，看到自己连队的六班战士，冒着敌人炮火在包饺子，心里非常高兴。谁能想到在炮火纷飞的战场上，在猫耳洞内，战士用子弹箱当案板，用罐头瓶当面杖，包起鲜肉水饺。他们苦中作乐，力争使生活过的更加丰富多彩。当战士把装满水饺的饭盒送到邹军手里，他眼里流出了滚烫的泪水。在艰苦的生活里，他们多么通情达理，多么知道关心人。这才是真正的同志爱，战友情，是经过战火的锤炼，结成的牢不可破的爱，和永远割不断的情。 当邹军吃的正起劲的时候，敌人又开始炮击，一发……二发……炮弹不停地落在堑壕边，战士劝指导员到猫耳洞里吃，邹军端着吃了一半的水饺钻进猫耳洞，在敌人炮火的伴奏下完成了“任务。” 17时30分，邹军同战士一一握手告别，返回指挥所。 随着战斗的结束，阵地前，越军丢下的一具具尸体，遍布在前沿山坡上，有的已经开始腐烂发臭，非常难闻，对战士的身体健康影响巨大。A师决定向越军喊话，让他们运走尸体。 前沿阵地上的大喇叭响了起来，战士们用越语向敌人喊话：“越军弟兄们！我们中国人民解放军发扬人道主义精神，允许你们运走阵亡士兵的尸体，每个阵地，每次出动士兵，不得多于五人，不许带武器，我们保证不开枪射击，让你们安全返回。” 越军开始半信半疑，试探着运送附近的尸体，没有遭到射击，胆子逐渐大起来，从近到远，运送起来。起初弯着腰拉起就跑，后来见没有危险，就大摇大摆的拉着尸体慢慢地走，有的途中还休息一下。少数敌人不相信，出来时仍然背着枪，立即遭到射击，以后就再也不敢带武器运送尸体了。 阵地前沿的尸体逐渐减少，但是距前沿十几米的尸体，他们仍然不敢拉，害怕被A团俘虏。战士们每天面对阵地前的越军尸体，看着他们腐烂发臭，从流黄水到肉慢慢烂掉，逐渐成为一堆白骨，老鼠、苍蝇爬在上面令人恶心。开始战士还能坚持，随着时间的推移，普遍出现了头晕、恶心、四肢无力，吃不下东西等，体力下降，疾病蔓延，如不及采取措施，就会使战斗力大大削弱。 为了解决这个问题，上海某研究院的专家来到前线，了解了详细情况，研究处理问题的办法。他们紧急行动，研制出了一种特殊化学药剂，空运到前线，在各阵地进行喷洒。于是，整个前沿阵地芬芳飘香。战士们感到舒服多了，又恢复了往日的精神。 后方一条山沟里，军绿色的帐篷整齐地摆列着，九连从前线，撤下后，在这里休整。伤员都送到野战医院治疗去了，其他同志一边恢复体力，一边进行作战总结。 中午，连队炊事班做了几个菜，让大家改善一下生活。吃饭前，为了纪念牺牲的战友，连长田成吩咐，把牺牲战友的碗筷全部摆上，里面倒上酒，每只碗旁边放一张卡片，上面写着牺牲者的姓名。刚好云南省组织的拥军慰问团和中央电视台、八一电影制片厂的记者在九连采访。 当连长田成端起碗，面对列队站在自己面前的战友，强忍住眼泪，不让它流下来，他深情地说：“战友们！为了怀念和我们并肩战斗而牺牲的战友，我提议第一杯酒敬给他们，让他们永远安息吧！”说吧，端起碗围绕地上放着的碗筷，边走边倒。 慰问团的同志，看到这种情况忍不住失声痛哭，几个少数民族大妈，则跪在地上，不住地向一排倒满酒的碗磕头，双手合在胸前，嘴里不停地祷告着，处处留露出母亲对儿子的无限热爱。在场所有的人，都被感动了，再也无法控制自己的感情，失声痛苦起来。 哭声在山涧震荡，感动了天，感动了地。天空突然飘起雨来，毛毛细雨，仿佛向人们诉说着，对子弟兵的无限怀念。 中央电视台、八一电影制片厂的战地记者，眼里含着泪花，不停地用手中的摄像机，记录下了这难得，而珍贵的镜头。
