Veteran never die

Chapter 255

0256 Old Mountain Main Attack Group

One generation affects another generation, this is inheritance.

The soldiers of the Republic were reborn from the ashes. From recruits to veterans to recruits, fresh blood was continuously poured in, forging the soul of the Chinese army.

Zhang Zipei made Wang Liang feel gratified. He chose a road less traveled, and the road was long and bumpy.

Loneliness and loneliness come one after another, the outside world is wonderful and there are many temptations.

But think about the veterans who have been buried here, looking at the old road in Malipo, as well as the crop fields, there are their shadows.

In the summer 40 years ago, the young soldiers of the Republic were busy talking and laughing.

Veterans like Wang Liang and the others are nostalgic people, and they come to remember the years in the few remaining days.

Presenting their years and years to future generations in the form of film and television dramas, here is the heritage and immeasurable wealth of a nation and country.

Wang Liang was silent for a few minutes, and then asked Zhang Zipei: "Every day is to clear weeds and clean up. When there are social groups to pay homage to the martyrs, you follow the veterans who preside over the ceremony with a tape recorder and a loudspeaker. Then prepare pen, ink and paper, and wait for the old comrades to write a few elegiac couplets. The streamlined homework day after day, the great time, burn here, are you willing? Or does it fit your original ideal?"

Wang Liang wants to get an answer from the veteran, cleaning, doing some boring and odd jobs, with a meager salary, is this his ideal?
You know, several of the soldiers who were placed at the same time as Zhang Zipei had become department-level cadres in the county.

"Chief, do you still remember Deputy Company Commander Zhang Daquan?" Zhang Zipei did not answer Wang Liang's question directly, but named a person.

Perhaps, he felt that Wang Liang would understand his choice after hearing this name.

Wang Liang didn't speak. When the word "Zhang Daquan" reached his ears, a dusty memory was uncovered.

On April 1984, 4, the main peak of Laoshan.

时任陆军第14军40师118团2营5连副连长的张大权率领连队在拿下二号阵地和52号阵地后随即带领突击队从正面向老山主峰发起了猛烈进攻。

The 14th Regiment of the 40th Division of the 118th Army has another particularly famous name, the Laoshan Main Attack Regiment.

The main attacking group, the one that rushed to the front after the battle started, also had the most dead.

Anyone who is familiar with military history will know this passage. In the early morning of April 1984, 4, the People's Liberation Army suddenly launched an attack on the Vietnamese army's position on the main peak of Laoshan, and occupied the main peak of Laoshan in less than six hours.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was boiling, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

In the era of supporting the army, Laoshan's main attack group was a hero.

"Our task is to attack the main peak position of Laoshan. The first row is the main attacker, and the second row is assisting. I will bring heavy firepower to support and cover. After the battle starts, we will cover each other, organize cross-organized attacks, and minimize casualties. Do you understand?" Zhang Daquan explained the task to the squad leader again.

"understand!"

"understand!"

"understand!"

The unanimous answer was exceptionally loud.

Zhang Daquan looked at the brothers beside him, he knew that many people would not come back.

Da da da, da da da, da da da——

After the battle started, the commando soldiers launched an attack with lightning speed. Because the attack was sudden and violent, the Vietnamese army who were caught off guard had to shrink their positions, thinking of using the tunnels they had dug in advance to resist.

"Quick! Occupy the first trench and consolidate quickly! Move faster, hurry up!"

Said to be responsible for providing fire support and cover, Zhang Daquan rushed to the front after the battle started.

After occupying the first trench, the commandos launched an attack on the second trench.

And at this moment, an accident happened.

The main peak of Laoshan is actually composed of two hills in the north and south. The north is high and the south is low. From the map, the main peak of Laoshan has only one hill in the south.

There is a depression about 100 meters long on the two hills in the north and south. The commando soldiers must pass through the depression [-] meters long to launch an attack.

This became a living target for the Vietnamese army on the hill to the north.

Seeing that the commando soldiers had entered the depression, the Vietnamese army moved out all light and heavy weapons, swept wildly, and bombarded, shooting wildly with bright and dark firepower.

In an instant, seven commandos died on the spot.

The Vietnamese army on the hilltop in the south recovered, and climbed out from under the fortifications in the tunnel, and supported the troops on the hilltop in the north to attack the commando back and forth.

For a while, the commandos were suppressed in the depression, unable to organize an effective counterattack at all.

"Second platoon leader, you must contain the firepower on the south hill!"

"Yes!"

"Communications, contact the headquarters, let the artillery suppress the northern hill!"

In this way, the first attack ended in failure, and Zhang Daquan's leg was also injured by the enemy's shells during the attack, bleeding profusely.

Regardless of the hemostatic bandage, enduring the severe pain, Zhang Daquan organized a second attack.

Under the cover of seatless guns, heavy machine guns, and rocket launchers, the commandos charged again.

Zhang Daquan carried a light machine gun and rushed to the front.

It's not a TV series, and there is no aura of the protagonist.

Just after rushing out for less than ten meters, Zhang Daquan's left wrist was shot through by a stray bullet, and his left hand was drooping, and it only needed to be pulled lightly, and it would fall off.

In this scene, comrades would fall beside him every second, and the explosion would deafen his ears, and he could not feel the pain at all, and was almost numb.

The bloodiness of the soldiers has also come up.

His left hand could no longer be used, so Zhang Daquan simply hung the machine gun strap around his neck, then clamped the machine gun with his right arm and continued shooting.

The second trench was taken down with difficulty, and the commandos suffered heavy casualties.

The insidious and cunning Vietnamese army was not idle. Seeing the violent attack of the commando, they retreated to the tunnels and fortifications, called the artillery by radio, and demanded that the main peak position be covered by artillery fire.

Dense shells smashed down.

One soldier lost his legs and arms, was blown away, and the blood flowed into a ditch in an instant.

"Ah! My leg! My leg! Give me a shot, please give me a shot!"

Some soldiers were directly blown to a bloody mess, and the huge air wave generated by the explosion was engulfed in flying shrapnel, soot and blood mist all over the sky.

It can make people fall into despair, perhaps, this is hell.

The soldier who just wailed and begged his comrades to shoot him had died, but his eyes were still closed, and his expression was painful and ferocious.

The position was completely submerged in smoke, the soldiers' ears were buzzing, their brains went blank, they didn't know anything, they just wanted to lie down and rest for a while, and take a breather.
