Chapter 623 Breaking the situation
The second battalion commander was very surprised when he heard what Zhao Cheng said. He didn't expect that the troops they had always thought were theirs turned out to be just one person!
Moreover, their fighting capacity was so strong, and it turned out that they were really just trying to warn their own troops. This made the Second Battalion Commander very happy.
"Comrades, the enemy's conspiracy has been discovered by our comrades! Now it depends on us! Everyone cheer up and follow me!" After the second battalion commander said this, he took the lead and continued to attack forward.
With the help of Zhao Cheng, his side went very smoothly, and also because the terrain on the second battalion commander's side was more conducive to their attack.
The situation was different on the regimental commander's side, as the terrain there was more rugged and more conducive to defense. So when the second battalion commander's side had successfully secured two ambush points, the first and second companies led by the regimental commander had just broken through one ambush point!
"Commander, it's no use. This mountain is too steep. We can't attack anymore!" The company commander came to the commander and said to him who was observing the situation.
"We have to continue the attack! We have no other choice now! I believe that the second battalion commander will come back to help us after breaking through! We can't relax, let's continue the attack!" The regiment commander looked at the company commander and said helplessly.
The current situation is that we have the advantage in numbers and equipment on the battlefield, but the Vietnamese army has the advantage of terrain! Moreover, they are on the defensive, which is more advantageous for them.
On the other hand, we were completely in a position of attacking from above. Not only could we not take advantage of our firepower, but we also did not have much of an advantage in numbers against the enemies on the mountain.
So the captain was in a dilemma. Attack? No way! Retreat? That would only mean getting beaten.
So now he could only wait until the second battalion commander on the opposite mountain broke through the opposite hillside and launched an attack from the other side of the mountain before he could possibly defeat the enemy on the mountain.
"Captain, how about I send two squads to go around from the side?" The company commander looked at the surrounding environment and expressed his thoughts.
The regiment commander looked around and found that the surrounding mountains were very steep. If he attacked from behind, his troops were too few to deal with the enemies on the mountain. If he had too many troops, he would not be able to stop the enemies on the mountain if they rushed down.
There is at least one battalion of troops on the mountain. Although their firepower is not particularly strong, they have a large number of people, so they have no problem defending the hillside.
"No, the strength of two squads cannot pose any threat to the enemy on the mountain. Look at the enemy's firepower density. There is also a battalion on the mountain. Two squads will die if they go around!" The regiment commander rejected the company commander's proposal.
"But can we just sit and wait? I don't know how long it will take for the battalion commander to capture the opposite hillside!" said the company commander anxiously.
"That also has to wait! How about this, you allocate a platoon to support the second battalion commander and let him attack quickly! We will temporarily keep pressure on the enemy here so that they can't go down the mountain!" said the regiment commander.
The company commander thought so too. Since he couldn't make a breakthrough in a short time, he might as well dispatch troops to support the battalion commander, so that the battalion commander could have an easier time.
Soon, the company commander took a platoon of soldiers and ran to the hillside on the right to meet the second battalion commander.
"Battalion Commander, have our comrades been rescued?" asked the company commander.
"They opened fire on the Vietnamese army just to warn us! And he was alone, so it would be easy for him to escape. He didn't need our rescue at all!" The second battalion commander rolled his eyes and said to the company commander.
"Kill? Just one person? Then he really did it to save us!" said the company commander.
"So, we must find an opportunity to thank them in the future! If it weren't for them, our camp would have been ambushed!"
"By the way, Battalion Commander, there is about a battalion of enemies on the hillside on the left, and we can't attack them! The regimental commander wants us to capture the hilltop here as soon as possible so that we can support from the rear and attack the enemies over there!" said the company commander.
"It's very difficult! Look at us! If we attack the enemy here, the other side can also use heavy firepower to support us. We can't take it down in a short time!" The battalion commander looked at the situation in front of him and was suddenly a little discouraged.
The company captain was at a loss for a moment. If he couldn't capture this place for a long time, then there would be trouble!
"Battalion Commander, can you contact the comrade we talked about before? Ask him to think of a solution? Since he can attack the enemy alone, he must be a powerful master. We can ask him to help think of a solution!" The company commander suddenly said to the battalion commander.
"He is on the top of the mountain. You go ask him. We can only try our best to save the situation now!" The battalion commander thought so too and could only ask for help from that person.
So a company commander took a squad of soldiers and went around the mountain to look for Zhao Cheng.
Because Zhao Cheng was constantly changing his position, on the one hand he was avoiding the firepower from the opposite hillside, and on the other hand he was creating an illusion.
When the company commander found him, he was loading bullets into his rifle magazine behind a big rock.
"Comrade! Thank you for saving us!" The company commander said to Zhao Cheng with gratitude on his face.
Zhao Cheng glanced at him without any change in expression. He just said lightly, "You're welcome!"
"Comrade, we are now facing difficulties in our attack. Our battalion commander hopes that you can help us think of a solution!" The company commander knew that time was running out, so he spoke straight to the point.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Cheng asked, looking up without stopping his hands.
"Our attack is now at a stalemate! It's not easy to attack on both sides! Especially on the hillside on the left, our regimental commander judges that there may be a battalion of enemies! So we would like to ask for your guidance and see what to do now! We really can't think of any good solution!" The company commander said with shame on his face.
Zhao Cheng looked at the current situation. The opposite hillside and this side were originally set up for ambushes, so the two sides could form effective cross-fire.
Our troops were attacking from above, and the mountain was very steep, so there was no way for us to take advantage of our manpower and firepower.
The stalemate cannot last too long, otherwise the surrounding Vietnamese troops are likely to quickly come to support. By then, they will be surrounded and will inevitably be annihilated.
"What does your superior think?" Zhao Cheng asked.
The company commander briefly explained the regimental and battalion commanders' ideas. Zhao Cheng thought about it and thought, "Is this indeed a good idea?" However, there was no way to break the deadlock in a short period of time.
"Have you ever thought about letting the enemy out to fight?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously.
"Do you mean to lure the enemy deep into our territory?" The company commander thought for a moment and immediately asked.
"Yes, let's retreat first and withdraw some troops to ambush in front. When the enemy is chasing us, we will ambush them. After defeating the enemy, we will quickly rush through this valley!" said Zhao Cheng.
