Chapter 29 The Legend of Old Heroes
Whenever it was dark, 61 years old, he couldn't fall asleep in the hole, and he missed his children and his wife. But he told Li Moyang that he called his son two months ago, which made him happy until now. Lao Sun smiled when he talked about his children.
Lao Sun felt that living in a well could give him a motivation to support himself in order to respond to his own house.
"This kind of life is almost over, and the judge of the court told me that I am expected to win the lawsuit this year." Lao Sun rolled up a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath and said, "I will find a nursing home to go back to my house and live there. I will be satisfied in this life."
Police and urban management team members often ask about Lao Sun's living underground. Lao Sun remembers an urban management team member saying to him: "Uncle, why are you doing this? Go back and think of a solution."
Regarding this kind-hearted suggestion, Lao Sun always smiled bitterly and said nothing: "I think I will no longer live here soon, maybe this year."
Finally, Lao Sun said: "You young and don't know. Many people live in these wells. There are about 70 or 80 people around me who know about them!"
Li Moyang was very surprised when he heard this.
Before Hu Shengsong could buy food, Lao Sun left. He was busy wiping the car on it. He ate something briefly and turned around and left the underground.
Li Moyang continued to ask: "Uncle Zhao, can you tell me the origin of your big tea jar?"
"Haha, it's not worth mentioning." Mr. Zhao's hair was gray, and a hint of rosy appeared on his face at this time. His eyes looked at a place in the well, as if he was recalling something.
"Tell me, we younger generations like to listen to this."
"Haha, okay, I'll talk about it. This is the prize I gave when I made contributions to the Vietnam War. I was enamel teapot. Look."
Uncle Zhao handed the big teapot to Li Moyang, and Li Moyang held it in his hand and checked it carefully.
There were porcelains in many places in the teapot, and some dirt was missing, but those words were still bright red: "Memorial of heroes and models in the Battle of Laoshan."
"You have always participated in the Battle of Laoshan? A great hero!"
Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "What hero? The superiors issued an order. Our master went directly to the front line and fought. He fought in turn. It would be great if he could survive."
"Uncle Zhao, I mean, since you are a hero and model, why is this the case?" Li Moyang asked carefully, for fear that the elderly would be sad.
Uncle Zhao was silent for a long time. Li Moyang handed a cigarette, Uncle Zhao lit it and started smoking, and then he spoke for a while: "We achieved results in that battle. Unfortunately, our Battalion Commander Tian was killed because of the prisoner's shooting. I was also injured in order to protect the battalion commander and had a disability in my thigh. I was the deputy battalion commander at that time. I was given a punishment for killing the prisoner. After retirement and returning home, I did not receive any treatment until now."
"You will tell me in detail. We juniors have never participated in any wars, so we are very curious."
As soon as Li Moyang finished speaking, Hu Shengsong came down and brought some cooked goods to serve wine and food, a bundle of beer, and a few bottles of Erguotou.
After putting down the things, Hu Shengsong turned around and left. He was surprised that Li Moyang could stay below.
After taking a few sips of Erguotou, Mr. Zhao became energetic and talked about that legend.
The border war in the Laoshan area between China and Vietnam has entered its second year. Laoshan frontline.
Tian Jiren, the battalion commander of the 1st battalion of the 596th Regiment, led 17 team members to raid the 212 Highlands and wiped out the defending enemies on the 212 Highlands in one fell swoop. The Vietnamese army immediately organized a counterattack. After paying the price of more than 400 casualties, they finally gave up the 212 Highlands helplessly.
Chapter 57
The direction of Laoshan was relatively quiet, and the Vietnamese army, which suffered heavy blows, did not give up its military operations on our defense line.
The Vietnamese defense line and our defense line are intertwined, and part of it is condescending to the terrain puts great pressure on our position. Especially in the 396 Highland east of Panlong River, it is covered with natural caves and the terrain is complex.
The Vietnamese army took advantage of these unique favorable conditions to occupy it, built solid fortifications, and stocked up a large number of weapons and ammunition, which echoed each other with the three nameless high grounds on the flank, forming a three-dimensional cross-disciplinary defense system.
Taking advantage of the terrain, we firmly control several positions on our defense line. As long as there are any abnormal movements on our positions, the Vietnamese firepower on these high grounds will respond, posing a great threat to the positions near our army.
In view of this, our army decided to remove these high grounds to relieve the pressure on our army's defense line. After preliminary research, the division headquarters decided to focus on the first battalion of the 596th Infantry Regiment, and at the same time, other forces were assigned to participate in this point-drawing operation.
After accepting the mission, Tian Jiren, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 596th Regiment, immediately formulated a combat plan and sent core personnel to cooperate with the division's reconnaissance company to conduct multiple lurking reconnaissance on the frontiers of the surrounding highlands.
Based on the information returned by the reconnaissance, the battalion commander Tian Jiren formulated a detailed combat plan and organized sand table deduction, joint training and coordinated drills according to the combat plan.
On the eve of the attack, each participating team member got full rest and relaxation. At the same time, he distributed brand new military uniforms, took photos, and sealed them into everyone's files together with the written suicide note, and took a photo.
Sacrifice, leave it to your family as a permanent memory, and when you come back, leave it to yourself as a permanent memory.
At dawn on d-1st, the first battalion of the 596th Regiment was divided into a search team, a two-wing guard team, an attack team, and a grassroots commander, indicating that several units secretly entered the offensive starting position to assemble.
In order to capture prisoners, the reconnaissance company directly under the division then entered the position and waited for the wait, but was discovered by the Vietnamese army during the movement of the position. The Vietnamese army immediately fired fire at the location where the reconnaissance company was located. In desperation, the reconnaissance company immediately retreated. The artillery fire of the Vietnamese army pursued reconnaissance company in the direction of retreat. Due to the timely retreat, no one was injured or killed.
Because the first battalion was located in front and was well concealed, and the retreat route was blocked by the Vietnamese artillery fire, he decided to stay in place. Then the Vietnamese army carried out a long-term shelling of the area, and the first battalion company that concealed was tortured. However, due to the good concealment, no casualties were caused. Subsequently, the Vietnamese army saw that there was no movement in our position, and the shelling gradually subsided.
It was night, the sky was pitch black and there were showers.
Various forces began to move towards the starting position of the attack. Each team member carried an average of more than 30 kilograms. He crawled forward step by step on the muddy and rugged mountain roads. Many team members' clothes were shattered by the sharp corners of the rocks, and some people were even scratched with blood.
Some soldiers fell from a 7-meter-high cliff and fell into the cracks of the rocks. In order to avoid exposure, they endured the severe pain and climbed up to continue moving forward. Some soldiers even risked their lives to open up 15 meters of paths in the minefield...
Six hours later, all units secretly occupied the starting position of the attack that was only a few dozen meters away from the Vietnamese military position and successfully launched. The assault team and the interlude team continued to move forward in five directions according to the scheduled tasks, secretly receiving the enemy. They lurked five meters before the Vietnamese military camp, and touched the trench only one trench from the Vietnamese military...
In the early morning of the day, with the roar of the rocket launcher, the battle started on time.
Our army's large-caliber artillery group and rocket artillery group bombarded the high grounds around 396. The soil, fortification fragments caused by the artillery fire, and the residual limbs of human bodies were flying all over the sky, and then they smashed heavily. The commandos hidden in the attack position put their faces close to the ground, feeling the violent vibrations on the surface caused by the violent explosion of the shells!
A few minutes later, our army's artillery fire began to extend, and the command center "Taishan" issued an order: "Sky Eagle" attacked! The hidden commando jumped up suddenly and rushed up with the extended artillery fire.
The scouts responsible for the nameless high ground on the south side, the engineers cut off the six communication lines of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time quickly seized the surface positions of the nameless high ground on the south side, blocking most of the Vietnamese army in the camp. As soon as some of the Vietnamese troops rushed out to the entrance of the cave, they were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest by dense bombs.
On the western high ground, the fire dragons of the fire spitting soldiers spewed at the stubborn Vietnamese firepower points from time to time, and a large number of Vietnamese soldiers turned into coke in the shrill call.
After more than 50 minutes of fierce fighting, the surface of the five attack directions was basically controlled by our army. The entire 396 and its surrounding high ground suffered heavy casualties. Most of the fortifications carefully arranged by the Vietnamese army and firepower points were destroyed, and incomplete corpses and guns and ammunition were scattered around.
Faced with our strong offensive, the remaining Vietnamese army could no longer fight head-on, and were forced to retreat into the cave to continue to fight our army.
Uncle Zhao said that he stopped here, tears slid across his face, and the black and gray on his face rushed out of the ravines.
Li Moyang was very impressed. Nearly thirty years have passed in this battle, and Mr. Zhao still clearly remembers the time, place, and staff names. This is simply a living military history!
However, the name Tian Jiren, the battalion commander of the first battalion that Mr. Zhao often appears in his mouth, is very familiar to Li Moyang!
Mr. Zhao was already in the state at this time and said with sobs: "After occupying the surface, the commando immediately moved into the second phase of search and suppression and drilling holes. The battalion commander Tian Jiren and I each led a commando team, attacking from both ends of the cave, killing more than a dozen Vietnamese devils, and capturing six prisoners alive. But..."
Mr. Zhao raised his head and took a sip of wine, sighed, "But we were too careless. Victory was close to us. We were all too careless and did not search carefully. A Vietnamese prisoner killed the battalion commander Tian Jiren with a pistol hidden in his arms. The prisoner was beaten to death by me on the spot. All the remaining prisoners were killed by my order."
"Damn, you were punished because of this? When you retired and returned to your hometown, the local government had no arrangements, and just passed it like this?"
Li Moyang was shocked. This was too incredible. This was a hero. Even if the prisoners were killed, it was the first shot that the prisoners fired, and it was not considered killing the prisoners at all!
