The 114 regiment is interspersed with the twenty of the Pensi ai series
Author: Xiao Yunjun
After Hu Guangnan, the "Pioneer Regiment" of the 316th A., took the remnants into the Bolai Cave, Lieutenant Fan Decai, the commander of the "Pioneer Battalion", was ordered to lead more than 10 soldiers back to the village of Bolai to collect food and clothing for the urgent needs of life. But he never expected that it was their action that brought them the disaster of the total annihilation of the army.
In the early morning, the eastern skyline gradually turns white. In the breeze, the milky morning mist dances with the wind and gradually drifts away. The trees of the mountains and rivers and the fields of the villages slowly broke free from the entanglement of the night and easily revealed their true faces. Only the distant Langguang Village was still hula jumping with roaring flames, crackling and exploding with the sound of burning bamboo trees.
After being awakened by the sound of birds chirping near the regiment, Fan Yunnan, the commander of the 114th Regiment, stepped out of the bunker, looked up at the last drifting morning fog on the top of Beigong Mountain, raised his fists high and stretched out his waist vigorously, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Report to the regimental commander, according to the scouts, after dawn, found that there were plainclothes people carrying weapons in the village of Bolai, most likely vietnamese troops in disguise." After listening to the report of the reconnaissance staff officer, Commander Fan turned to the follower Chief of Staff Liang Xianwen and said: "Order the 1st Battalion to immediately send troops to the village of Bolai to search for and suppress, resolutely eliminate the remnants of the Vietnamese army in the village, and ensure the safety of the surrounding area of phosphate mines!" ”

"Yes, get it on right away!" After Liang Xianwen finished speaking, he quickly ran toward the radio station on duty. After receiving the regimental command' order, Ma Wenjin' battalion commander immediately issued a task of liquidation to Chen Jinyu, commander of the 1st Company. Company Commander Chen Jinyu immediately worked with Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Bangyou and Instructor Liu Yuncheng to study and formulate a plan for the clearance and suppression operations. The plan is clear, with 1 company and 3 platoons reinforced with a heavy machine gun, and the method of encircling and then fighting is adopted to carry out the clearance and suppression of The village of Bolai.
According to the battle plan formulated by the company, Li Huicheng, the commander of the 3rd platoon, ordered the 7th squad to detour from east to south and cut off the passage from Bolai Village to Beigongshan. The 8th squad leader was ordered to lead the main force of the squad to search the village from east to west, while the deputy squad leader led a combat group to detour back to the intersection of the west of the village and block the escape route of the Vietnamese army. Platoon leader Li Huicheng personally led the 9th class to search the village from the front road junction. The whole village is surrounded on all sides.
When Li Huicheng led the 9th squad into the village from the front, a man dressed in worn-out blue cloth jumped out of a grass hut with a submachine gun and a large bag of things on his shoulder.
"Don't move!" The 9th class grew up and shouted. The man dropped his things with a frightened "snap", pulled out his leg and ran west. "Da-da-da As soon as the gun sounded, several plainclothes people carrying things in one hand and one submachine gun rushed to the entrance of the village from the house in the east of the village. The 8th class, which collided head-on, immediately opened fire, and the plainclothes "fluttering" that ran in front of them fell to the ground. The rest of the people flashed into a thatched hut to the north.
It turned out that this gang was the Vietnamese army led by Captain Van Duc Thiet into the village to collect clothes and food. After entering the thatched hut on the north side, they slipped out of the back door under the leadership of Fan Decai and broke through to the west of the village while fighting. Soon, they waded across the river and quickly entered the cave where the regimental commander, Colonel Hu Guangnan, was hiding.
According to the confessions of the Vietnamese prisoners afterwards, Hu Quang Nam saw that Fan Decai had returned empty-handed, and he also ran directly back to the cave when he was pursued, attracting the Chinese army, and gritted his teeth in hatred for this group of stupid straw bales. Feeling that the great trouble was imminent, he immediately ordered all the personnel to assemble urgently, immediately take off the clothes of the common people, and quickly deployed Fan Decai to lead the machine gunners to guard the entrance to the cave, ordering several guards and agents around him to occupy the favorable terrain in the cave and resolutely eliminate the Chinese troops who attacked the cave. It also requires that "people are in the cave and swear to coexist and die with the cave." After the deployment was completed, Hu Guangnan ordered everyone to take their seats and immediately prepare for battle.
The 1st Company and 3rd Platoon saw the Vietnamese army breaking through and fleeing westward, and immediately pursued it. As they reached the west bank of the village, machine guns from the cave swept over, injuring two soldiers. The advance of the 3 platoons was blocked by the Vietnamese. Platoon commander Lee Hui Cheng immediately commanded the 7th squad and heavy machine guns to block the Vietnamese cave entrance head-on, and the 8th and 9th squads attacked from both sides of the cave entrance. However, because the mouth of the cave is small and hidden, the rock walls on the upper and lower sides of the cave entrance are steep, the river in front of the cave is gushing and waist-deep, and there is an effective blockade of Vietnamese machine gun fire, so it is impossible to approach the cave for a while.
Li Huicheng's platoon commander reported this situation to the company, and company commander Chen Jinyu immediately led the 82 recoilless guns to the scene to support.
With the company commander in command, Li Huicheng led the seventh squad to wade covertly across the river from the grass on the right to the mouth of the cave. However, when it was sixty or seventy meters away from the mouth of the cave, a shuttle of the Vietnamese army in the cave hit, and one of the bullets hit li huicheng in the head of the platoon leader, and li huicheng was killed on the spot. Not far away, the eighth squad leader Shen Zhiwen was also injured in his left leg, and the attack was once blocked.
At this time, Ma Defu, the deputy squad leader of the agile bazooka squad, took advantage of the hidden terrain and quickly approached the opening of the cave. As he was about to pick up his bazooka and shoot into the hole, the Vietnamese machine guns roared again. Madfu had to quickly flash to the side to avoid the Vietnamese bullets. The commander of Chen Jinyu's company saw the situation and immediately commanded the machine guns to suppress the Vietnamese fire. Madfu took the opportunity to turn sideways and fired 3 bazooka shells into the cave in a row. With the sound of the "rumbling" explosion, the dead branches of dead wood and the rubble of the floating soil on the hillside "rushed down". Ma Defu shouted: This time you should be honest! He lifted his head and looked inside the cave. But as soon as he looked up, there was a "whoosh-" sound, and the bullet flew past his ear again.
Company Commander Chen Jinyu saw this and again ordered the 82 recoilless gun to fire two consecutive ground shells into the cave. However, as soon as the figure of our soldiers appeared, the gunfire of the Vietnamese army was still incessant.
Company Commander Chen Jinyu realized that the situation inside the cave was very complicated, and it was necessary to approach the stone cave to find out the situation inside and take effective means of attack before it could be effective. Therefore, the company commander ordered all the explosives and explosive canisters carried by all the soldiers to be concentrated, and decided to send people into the hole to carry out blasting and carry out a strong attack.
Madfu was given this daunting task. Under the command of the company commander and under the cover of machine gun fire, Ma Defu carried an explosive package and a blast Jane, "poof" jumped down the waist-deep river, and "giggled" close to the stone cave on the opposite bank. Not far from the cave, the Vietnamese army shot violently at Madfu from a natural stone crack below the cave entrance. As soon as Madfu flashed away, the sound of the gunfire stopped; as soon as he approached, the gunshot "clicked" again. This cycle went back and forth four times, and it did not get close to the mouth of the cave.
Madfu was in a hurry, took off his military hat, put it on the rock pile in the river, and then quickly rolled to the right, leaving the pile of rocks and avoiding the sight of the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese did bite his hat and shoot" at him. Ma Defu took the opportunity to approach the stone crack from the other side, "Uh-huh", pulled off the ring of fire, and threw two grenades into the stone crack with two "bangs". "Bang bang—" with two explosions, a thick plume of black smoke rushed out of the crevices of the stones. Ma Defu hurriedly reached out and looked into the stone crevice, and a bullet of "Uh-huh- " flew out of the stone crevice again, almost hitting him on the head.
The commander of Chen Jinyu's company could not help but be angry when he saw this, and immediately commanded the 82 guns to aim at the openings and stone crevices on the opposite side of the river, and fired several shells in a row. Only to see the opposite entrance of the cave "rumble - boom" sounded a continuous explosion, billowing smoke rolled out of the hole, like a cloud of black mushrooms floating above the cliff wall. The entrance to the cave was much wider by shelling. Company Commander Chen immediately commanded the 8th squad to rush towards the cave. The 8th squad had just rushed to the mouth of the cave, and there was a sound of "da-da-da-da" gunshots inside, and the two soldiers were seriously injured. Helplessly, the 8th class had to temporarily withdraw.
Seeing that his comrades were wounded, the 8th squad of fighters not far from the mouth of the cave was furious. They picked up grenades and, like dumplings, threw them into the hole one by one, throwing more than a dozen grenades in one go. The bazooka players on the other side of the river also kept aiming and firing. The sound of the "rumbling" explosion and the collapse of the rock wall "rattling" rushed out of the cave, and a huge echo echoed in the valley.
After the explosion stopped, there was finally no movement inside. Everyone thought to themselves, now the enemy should be completely destroyed. So, the 7th squad of fighters continued to wade through the grass on the right and crossed the river, detouring towards the mouth of the cave. When they cautiously came to a distance of tens of meters from the mouth of the cave, the gunshot of "clicking and clicking" sounded in the cave again, and the bullets flew straight out. It turned out that this cave was full of twists and turns, with large holes and small holes, and the structure was very complicated, and in some places the gun could not be hit, and the grenade could not be exploded. Coupled with the cunning Captain Fan personally commanding the machine gunners, when our army attacked, the machine gunners retreated to the small hole on the side and hid; when our army stopped attacking, the machine gunners came forward to observe, and when they found our army personnel approaching the opening of the hole, they immediately shot and killed.
Commander Fan Yunan learned that the 1st Company and 3 Platoons had repeatedly attacked the cave and were blocked by the Vietnamese army in the cave, so he ordered Wang Bangyou, deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, to personally direct the attack on the Vietnamese cave. After learning from Company Commander Chen Jinyu about the previous attacks on the cave, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Bangyou immediately suggested using smoke bombs to attack the cave. However, Company Commander Chen Jinyu said: "According to the regulations, the use of smoke bombs must be approved by the headquarters at and above the division level!" ”
Deputy Camp Commander Wang replied, "You will arrange to use it immediately, and I will ask my superiors!" Between turns, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang ordered: "The superior has agreed, immediately use smoke bombs to attack!" In fact, this is the self-impromptu disposition carried out by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang under special circumstances in accordance with the ancient admonition that "when you are outside, military orders are not subject to it."
Company Commander Chen Jinyu ordered 3 platoons to attack the cave with smoke bombs. Deputy squad leader Ma Defu took 3 smoke bombs and waded across the river and approached the cave. Company Commander Chen Jinyu ordered the rest of the personnel to shoot at the entrance of the cave to cover Ma Defu's movements.
Ma Defu is a native of Wanzhou, Chongqing, with a small round face and a pair of large eyes, which often flash a clever and playful light. After Receiving 3 Smoke Bombs, Ma Defu said humorously: "If you want to ——, Lao Tzu will tell those turtle sons in the cave to have a good addiction!" After saying that, he jumped out of the battle pit at once, bent over, bent over, bent over, and "rattled" through the bushy grass beach, wading through the rushing river, and soon came to the side of the cave entrance. Then "whizz" a few times to pull the smoke bomb, one by one thrown into the hole. Only three muffled "bang bangs" were heard, and white smoke came out of the gap above the cave entrance.
Ma Defu, a first-class hero and combat hero
Seeing that Ma Defu had successfully dropped the bomb, Wang Bangyou's deputy battalion commander immediately ordered the Vietnamese interpreter next to him to shout at the mouth of the cave: "Surrender your guns and don't kill, we will treat prisoners leniently!" All the people present also learned the appearance of a Vietnamese translator and raised their voices and shouted together. For a moment, the rolling sound rushed straight to the mouth of the cave and refracted back from the cliff wall on the opposite bank, forming a shocking echo. After a while, only a "click" was heard, and a helmet hat was thrown out of the hole. Then, with another "click", a submachine gun was thrown. Everyone was relieved to see the situation: you turtle sons, still can't resist the smoke, you are going to come out and surrender!
