The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 185 I have never fought such a rich battle

Koulin Mountain.

The Vietnamese artillery position was well hidden here, covered with branches, and was not discovered.

炮兵共有12门苏制85毫米无后坐力炮、6门82毫米迫击炮、4门火箭炮、5挺14.5毫米高射机枪。

After receiving the order, the artillerymen quickly removed the branches and adjusted the angle.

"Ready! Fire!" The artillery commander gave the order to fire the platoon directly.

Bang bang bang.
Boo hoo hoo.
One shell after another flew into the air and headed towards the tank troops three kilometers away.

Boom boom boom! !

There were constant explosions, some shells hit farther away, some hit closer, and some shells landed on the road.

Of course, some shells hit tanks.

But the shell hit the tank and the tank was unharmed.

"Target found. Lock on to the enemy artillery position, and fire a salvo!"

I saw 20 Type 80 tanks turn their guns, aim at the target, and then fire in unison.

shhhhh~~~
The tanks' main guns fired in unison, the shells whizzed out, and one could even hear the sound of them breaking through the air.

The shells were traveling very fast and soon landed on the artillery position.

Since the artillery position is exposed, it will undoubtedly be exposed.

One shell after another landed on the artillery position, exploded, and set off bursts of flames.

Countless shrapnel shattered, blowing up pieces of dirt.

The power of the 125mm caliber smoothbore gun cannot be ignored.

Its power is enormous.

When a shell hit, the entire ground felt as if it was shaking.

"I have never fought such a successful battle in my life!" Li Fuguo kept an eye on the battlefield. He felt so happy when he saw 20 tanks firing at the same time and destroying the enemy's artillery positions.

At this moment, he felt that Liu Tao was right. The truth was always within the range of cannons.

"The Type 80 tank is so powerful. The enemy's guns and artillery can do no harm to it!" Li Fuguo was shocked as he watched the two tank companies continue to advance.

Because such an invincible tank is simply a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

This is equivalent to having 20 125mm caliber cannons, and it can maneuver quickly without fear of being attacked by the enemy.

With two tank companies attacking, it became much easier for the infantry company to launch an attack.

As soon as the enemy appears, he will be destroyed.

Fortresses and fortifications were destroyed and pulled out one after another.

The soldiers are fully armed, wearing bulletproof helmets and bulletproof vests. Unless they are unlucky, their survivability on the battlefield is greatly enhanced.

So far, Li Fuguo has not received any reports of casualties on his own side.

Climbing a 30-degree slope is no problem at all for the Type 80 tank.

Even if the road was originally narrow, as long as there were trees on both sides, the tanks would just run over it.

The attack speed is very fast. As soon as the tank finds the target, it will move forward and fire.

The sound of artillery fire continued.

Li Fuguo suddenly felt that the battle had become easier. The troops were following the drills at Tianzhu Mountain, and the offensive was going very smoothly. At this time, on the battlefield, both sides were fighting fiercely.

In addition to the combined battalion of Panshan Machinery Factory, the 42nd Division also deployed two battalions of troops, and another battalion went around the side to cut off the enemy's rear and snipe at the enemy's reinforcements.

Pei Chi, the commander of the 14th Regiment, saw that the artillery position had been destroyed and there had been no news until now. He knew that the artillery was in great danger and his heart was bleeding.

Without the artillery support, the firepower of their regiment would be greatly reduced.

"Commander, the enemy's attack is fierce, requesting air support!" Pei Chi called the division headquarters for help.

The entire 313th Division, with the help of the terrain, built a complete defense system.

A full regiment was deployed to Koulin Mountain, and the 14th regiment was sent to garrison.

Upon receiving Pei Chi's request for help, the enemy's 313th Division Commander Du Qingchi yelled, "Pei Chi, you good-for-nothing, you have a whole regiment to build fortifications for you. If you can't hold on, I'll fire you!"

You know, Koulin Mountain is a strategic location. The terrain is favorable to the defender and it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

A regiment could have completely stopped the attack with the help of perfect defensive fortifications. After all, the terrain was there, and even if they wanted to deploy more troops for the attack, they couldn't.

After all, if you want to attack, you have to have a way.

I just received the report of the war, but only twenty minutes later, Pei Chi called for help and requested air support.

"Commander, the enemy's tanks are too powerful," Pei Chi wanted to explain.

But Du Qingchi was already furious, "Give up, damn Pei Chi, what's so great about their tanks? They're not as good as ours, don't you think I don't know!"

In Du Qingchi's opinion, Pei Chi's statement was completely an attempt to shirk responsibility.

Not to mention that he knew the performance of the Type 59 tank, even if he didn't know, he knew that the Type 59 tank could only play a limited role in that kind of terrain.

Defense is from a high position, while offense is from upward position, which is naturally beneficial to the defender and disadvantageous to the attacker.

Du Qingchi was burning with anger at this moment, but he also felt the situation was difficult.

The 313th Division is a young unit. It was hastily formed by the Vietnamese Army in March after China's "Red Dragon's Roar". It was composed of some personnel drawn from the 3th Production Division and the Second Military Region. At the beginning of its formation, it was composed of the 344th and 247th Infantry Regiments. As it was deployed in the Xikunling mountainous area in the Ha Giang region, it was also known as the "Xikunling Division". Later, the 266th Infantry Regiment and the 14st Infantry Regiment were transferred in successively, and the 191th Artillery Regiment was newly established. Just a few months later, the 457nd Regiment was incorporated into the 122th Division.

Although there were five infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, Du Qingchi knew that this force was not as good as his original infantry division.

It's just that he had lost the battle before, so he was lucky to be able to lead another division.

If he loses the battle again this time, at best he will never be able to lead troops again, and at worst he will be sent to a military court.

So even though he was angry, Du Qingchi still called the Hexuan Provincial Military Command.

The 313th Division is an infantry division. If it wants air support, it must go through the higher command. Otherwise, no one will pay any attention to it even if it calls them.

Fortunately, he already had a good relationship with his superiors, and the request for air support was quickly approved.

"Damn it, damn Pei Chi, after this war is over, I will remove you from your position!" Du Qingchi was quite annoyed.

But no matter how angry he was, Du Qingchi knew that he had to fight well, otherwise he would suffer the consequences.

After all, he is now leading this newly formed division, which in itself means he is making up for his crime with meritorious service.

If he loses this battle, even if he has someone behind him, no one can save him.

Looking at the connected fortifications on the map, Du Qingchi felt a little relieved.

Relying on the defensive fortifications built in the past two years, although the 313th Division is not an ace division and its combat effectiveness is slightly lacking, he believes that even if facing the attack of five divisions, he can at least hold out for three months. During this long time, the troops from the rear have already arrived continuously.

Relying on defensive fortifications, at least a large number of attackers can be killed, thereby gaining military merit and having the opportunity to move up.
