Chapter 1032 The tank is coming(1/2)
Cai Huachen, who had been walking at the front, immediately lay down on the ground and pointed his gun forward to see the posture. As long as there was a British person coming, he would shoot a string of bullets at them.
Guan Chonghua took out a map for on-the-spot comparison. He looked at it and suddenly smiled. He took a breath and said, "Yes, this is it." He put away the map and continued: "After passing this village, there is another
It's a big road, as long as you cross this road, you will be close to your goal." Then he took a step forward: "Let's go."
The troops began to advance towards the village along this road. After climbing halfway up the hill, they were about to reach the village.
Suddenly, a cliff appeared in front of them, and the troops were blocked from going down the mountain. In order to go down the mountain as quickly as possible, several soldiers split up to find a way down the mountain.
Directly south of the cliff, there is a trace that looks like it was dragged out when someone cut down a tree. It slopes all the way to the bottom of the cliff.
A soldier discovered this road and shouted happily: "Platoon leader, you can go down here." After saying that, he slid down the mud slope.
Just as he slid halfway, several rounds of bullets were fired from nowhere.
"Puff!" After a dull sound, the soldier lost his original posture and rolled down the cliff.
"There are British people, go back." Cai Huachen shouted.
A dozen people who had not yet come down the mountain suddenly came down, running around in a panic looking for a place to hide their bodies.
The British are very cunning and quite experienced. They shoot at the enemy non-continuously, shooting bursts every minute. As soon as they find someone showing their head, they shoot immediately and remain silent if there is no target. Therefore, the soldiers look for
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't find where the bullet came from.
Cai Huachen lay on the ground and waited for a long time, thinking to himself, "This won't work. It's been a long time. Once the British reinforcements arrive, no one here will be able to escape."
"Platoon leader, cover me." Cai Huachen shouted, ran a few steps, ran to the mud slope, and rolled down the slope.
When the British across the street saw him, they shot Cai Huachen.
The bullets fired had a very flat trajectory, passing through the top of the head and breaking many branches. Therefore, Guan Chonghua judged that the British were on the opposite hillside. So he fired while shouting: "The British are on the opposite hillside.
, call me."
"Da da da!"
The soldiers raised their guns and fired fiercely in the direction of the British shooting.
Under the cover of fire, Cai Huachen reached the bottom of the mountain safely. After searching the bottom of the mountain, he found no British. Then he hid behind a big rock and waved to Guan Chonghua, meaning "Come down! There are no British here."
"If you see it, just do what Cai Huachen did and roll down one by one." After Guan Chonghua finished speaking, he was the first to roll down the mountain.
The speed of rolling down the mountain is much faster than the speed of sliding down. Although the British kept firing, the bullets still landed behind the people rolling down. Although they stirred up pieces of mud, they were not injured in the end.
to the body.
What's more, there was Cai Huachen, a quasi-level sniper, under the cliff. Under his suppression, the British's accuracy in shooting was even worse.
Cai Huachen hid behind a big rock and stared closely at the British people on the opposite mountain. As soon as the fire appeared on the opposite side, he would trigger the trigger to shoot.
"Da da da!"
The continuous shooting finally suppressed the British firepower, and the bullet density gradually weakened.
The soldiers rolled down the mountain one by one. Except for the sacrificed soldier, the other eleven people were safe and sound.
After Guan Chonghua went down the mountain, he found the soldier's body, ordered two soldiers to carry it up, and followed the troops into the depths of the woods.
This forest is not big, it is close to the road, and there is not much slope.
As soon as the soldiers entered the woods, they heard the rumble of tanks ahead.
Anyone can tell that the direction the tank is traveling must be the main road.
As a result, the soldiers were very excited and kept running forward. They didn't even think about which country's tanks were coming, and all they thought about was the road!
Guan Chonghua shouted twice, but he did not stop Zhou Zhen and Jiang Duofu who were running at the front.
Jiang Duofu was running when he tripped and fell to the ground. After staggering down for two steps, he looked back and saw that it was a British official hat. Jiang Duofu thought to himself: "I haven't even seen one since the war."
He didn't have any trophies, so it would be a good idea to have this when meeting his comrades. So, he bent down and picked up the military cap, held it in his hand, and ran forward to catch up with the others.
The soldiers emerged from the woods and saw the main road, and in the middle of the road, a tank was rumbling forward.
When Zhou Zhen saw the "Lion" logo on the tank, he shouted excitedly: "Our tank, our tank!"
The soldiers who were running over also saw it, and jumped up happily, waving whatever they were holding, whether it was a gun or a hat, as long as it was something that could attract the other party's attention.
Jiang Duofu felt that saying hello by the woods was too subtle, so he ran forward again, stood in a prominent position, and even waved his heroic hat.
This group of Chinese people, after climbing mountains, wading through rivers, and continuously marching tiredly, had long lost the cleanliness of the Chinese people when they left the country. The stains on their faces and bodies were no different from those of the locals.
At this time, a commander of the tank unit discovered the British hat in Jiang Duofu's hand through the telescope. Then he judged that it was a group of British soldiers and ordered the tank unit to open fire on this group of people.
Suddenly, the tanks at the front opened fire. Tank shells, machine gun bullets, and the anti-aircraft machine gun on the turret all fired at Guan Chonghua and the others.
Tank shells and anti-aircraft machine gun bullets hit the stone wall with shrill screams, causing sparks to burst out and gravel to fly.
Being attacked suddenly, this group of people were frightened. They really couldn't understand why they were attacking their own people.
Guan Chonghua thought it was a misunderstanding and hurriedly shouted for everyone to get down quickly.
"Infantry, contact the tank quickly." Guan Chonghua said to an infantryman.
The infantryman lay on the ground and yelled for a long time, but was ignored. If you yell for yours, I'll beat mine.
Guan Chonghua suddenly remembered that infantry and tank soldiers were unable to communicate with each other. What should he do?
In desperation, he thought of the several flares he carried with him. He quickly took them out and fired two into the sky.
After two signal flares, one red and one white, were launched into the air, the tank troops stopped shooting.
Seeing that the tank stopped fighting, Guan Chonghua probably understood the content of the flare. This was an emergency measure formulated by his superiors to prevent accidental injuries to his own people when leaving the country.
"Cai Huachen, please bring someone over to make contact." Guan Chonghua said to Cai Huachen.
It might be that Guan Chonghua was obedient, or it might be that he had excessive trust in Cai Huachen. Anyway, whenever there was a mission, as long as Cai Huachen was around, he would send him there without hesitation.
Cai Huachen led Zhou Zhen and Jiang Duofu out of the woods and walked towards the tank.
Walking out of the woods, Cai Huachen looked back. Lin glanced at it. It seemed to mean that the tank must not fire. If it fires again, the three of them will not be able to get back into the woods anyway. Then he turned back and at a glance, suddenly
I found the British hat that Jiang Duofu was still holding in his hand.
Cai Huachen suddenly understood. No wonder the tanks opened fire on them. It turned out that they were all chosen by lot. So he said sharply:
"Jiang Duofu, you idiot, throw away your hat."
Jiang Duofu didn't know what Cai Huachen was talking about, but when he saw Cai Huachen scolding him, he stopped in shock.
"I'm talking about the hat in your hand." Cai Huachen pointed at it and said.
Jiang Duofu raised his hat and looked, but he still didn't understand.
"It was this hat that caused the tanks to mistake us for being British, and that's why we were bombarded."
Cai Huachen's reminder made Jiang Duofu realize that he had caused a big trouble. It seemed that what he was holding in his hand was not a hat, but a snake. Only after someone reminded him did he realize that, so he hurriedly threw the hat on the ground.
He kicked me hard again, then raised my foot and kicked it away, "Fuck your trophy, it almost killed me."
As soon as Cai Huachen and the others approached the tank, they saw the driver's cover of a tank opened. The commander of the tank, Xu Haizheng, got out and waved to Cai Huachen!
Having infantry on a tank is also something tank crews dream of. With infantry cover, at least their horizons are much wider.
Therefore, after Guan Chonghua emerged from the woods, the two sides hit it off immediately, and the eleven exhausted infantrymen climbed onto the tank one after another.
Fortunately, this tank unit also brought a stretcher bearer, Guan Chonghua, so he handed the soldier's body to them, took the soldiers, and continued to advance toward the predetermined position with the tank.
The tank is walking on a steep mountainous road, constantly going up, downhill, and turning. Sometimes it is speeding, and sometimes it shakes violently. The people riding on it are unstable in lying down and standing, and there is a high possibility of being thrown off.
Along the way, the infantrymen on the tanks watched the surrounding situation vigilantly, for fear of being blocked by Vietnamese anti-tank fighters.
In fact, it is basically useless to put some infantry on the tank to protect the tank. Only when the British take the initiative to attack and expose the target, can the infantry following the tank, assisted by the powerful firepower of the tank, deal a severe blow to the British.
After the tank troops walked for two hours, no British were found. So the infantry on board began to relax their vigilance.
The tanks turned around the mountain bend one after another.
Suddenly, a big stone fell from the cliff. As the stone fell off, a perforation hole was exposed in the stone wall of the cliff.
As soon as the perforation appeared, bullets were fired.
The sudden situation surprised Xu Haizheng. If the missiles fired were rockets, or anti-tank weapons such as the 82 recoilless rifle, the lives of the people in his car would be over.
"Jump out of the car quickly! Jump out of the car quickly." Xu Haizheng shouted.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, all the tanks stopped.
Even if Xu Haizheng didn't shout, the infantrymen sitting on the tank would jump down on their own initiative. They rolled and crawled out of the car, hiding in the ditch and cliff.
Several tanks opened fire indiscriminately before seeing their targets clearly. Smoke was everywhere on the road, and rocks were flying on the stone walls.
The British people on the mountain are really stupid. The tanks have stopped, so why are you still shooting? What you are shooting is not anti-tank shells. You are still sweeping them away with two submachine guns.
The bullet landed on the tank armor and ricocheted wildly.
After Xu Haizheng fired several shots, he finally found the nozzle through the smoke.
Since the nozzle is four to five meters high from the road and the tank is very close, the shooting angle is not enough.
As a result, the tank rumbled back a few steps, then turned around the turret and fired at the muzzle on the cliff.
The shot still missed and hit the stone wall next to the perforation.
