blood of vietnam war

Chapter 160 Channel

"Bang!" A bullet flew out of the barrel of the rifle.

I have to admit that I made this offset entirely by feeling. I just imagined all the air in front of me as water flow and imagined a river in front of me... The water flow in this river is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes horizontal and sometimes vertical ...and the bullet I fired was a lone boat passing quickly through these currents. The officer of the Vietnam Army who was mad at his subordinates.

The initial velocity of the bullet of the svd sniper rifle is about 830 meters per second. This is the data I learned from the machine gunner.The bullets are the same, aren't they?The same bullet means the same muzzle velocity.

The target is about 800 meters away from my location, and the speed of the bullet will slow down as the distance of the bullet increases... So the bullet flew in the air for more than a second before reaching the target.

I almost just watched it writhe in the air a few times with a tail line and knock the officer down...

Hit, but missed the point, in my scope, I can clearly see the thigh of the Vietnamese officer that the bullet hit... Maybe it was just a margin, because I didn't see him fall, Instead, he bent down and covered the injured part.

The falling distance of the bullet was much greater than I imagined. At the moment when I retracted the rifle, I noticed that there was a pond of a hundred square meters in the path of the bullet... Then I understood that the water in the pond Once exposed to sunlight, it will evaporate, and after evaporation, the humidity in the air will increase exponentially, especially near the surface of the pool. Humidity varies and slightly changes the direction of the bullet.

That's why I aim for the upper body of the target but hit the lower body, which is a pity, but I've learned a little bit... Try to keep the bullet out of the puddle next time.

"Good!" The soldiers behind burst into applause.

"Did you see it?" Little Shitou seemed to be a little bit in disbelief: "Did our platoon leader hit it? Really hit it?"

"Hit!" Wang Kechang put down the binoculars and said with certainty: "I can see it clearly. I hit the thigh. Now I was dragged back by the devil!"

"It's more than 800 meters!" Wu Zhijun sighed: "The platoon leader's marksmanship is really amazing..."

"Second Platoon Commander!" At this moment, Company Commander Luo heard the gunfire and ran up, asking, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the company commander!" I said, "Just now I saw an officer who was violating the devil... It seemed that he had a lot of background, so I shot him!"

"Oh? Did you destroy it?"

"No!" I replied with some regret: "It's just scratched..."

"Company commander!" Wang Kechang interjected, "It's more than 800 meters away..."

"Oh! That's right!" Company Commander Luo poked his head out to have a look, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "This shot has silenced the Yue Guizi!"

I stretched my head in doubt, only to find that those Yue devils who were standing outside arrogantly and dictating our positions are now either lying on the ground or hiding in a cover.

So this is another function of the sniper: Although I didn't kill anyone with this shot, and it can even be said that it didn't have any impact on the battle situation, the officer only needs to go back and bandage it.But just such a shot can cause a kind of shock in the Vietnamese army: more than 800 meters can be hit by a single shot, so how far should they start charging?Where should cover fire be deployed?Where should the artillery be deployed?

As a result, there will be an invisible pressure in the hearts of the Vietnamese army, but for our army, it has greatly boosted morale and increased confidence in defeating the enemy.

Morale is often such a subtle thing, invisible, intangible, and inexplicable, but it really exists.

"Woo..." Not long after, there was a roar of shells in the sky, so we knew that the Vietnamese army couldn't hold back.

Without thinking too much, we left a few observation posts on the position and lined up along the trenches into the longitudinal tunnel fortifications.

Although the smell in this tunnel fortification is not very good, the relatively spacious space makes us feel much more comfortable. More importantly, we are almost cut off from our comrades in the cat's ear hole... that feeling is a bit I can't tell, although I know that my comrades are not far away, but because there is a thick layer of soil separating them, I always feel that I am alone facing the powerful artillery bombardment of the Vietnamese army.However, in this tunnel... the comrades in arms are by my side, they can be seen and touched, even breathing can be felt, so I will naturally feel a sense of security in my heart.

It should be said that the "T"-shaped fortifications of the Vietnamese army were very solidly built, and a few shells hit the top of the tunnel directly, but nothing happened except that some broken soil was shaken off.I even took advantage of this time to turn on the flashlight and look up and down how the tunnel was made.

This is actually an "a"-shaped fortification. The math teacher in junior high school told me that triangles are the most stable. I think he must have told the secret to Yue Guizi... Isn't it?The tunnel of Yue Guizi is made of rows of logs that are supported in pairs on the ground to form a triangle. This practice can distribute the power from the top through the logs to the ground, making the tunnel impenetrable.

Of course, if it is long-range artillery fire, then I believe that it is still possible to blow up this tunnel, but... this fortification is built on the reverse slope of the high ground, and only the less powerful mortars can be blown up.

"Dididi..." A few minutes later we heard the signal from the observation post outside the tunnel, so we lined up again and got out of the tunnel.

It should be said that the bombing time of the Vietnamese army was so short that I was a little surprised. Aren't the Vietnamese troops outside the 316a division a regiment?How could the artillery bombardment be organized for only a few minutes?

Climbing along the trenches to the top of the hill, setting up the rifle and looking down, I was even more confused... There were only a few bullet craters on the slope.

You must know that this slope is not an ordinary slope. In order to better block the offensive of our army, the Vietnamese army stationed on the 217 highland was densely buried with landmines on this slope, and even pulled two barbed wire fences. ...Although our army has also launched an attack on this slope before, it has been blocked by these fortifications and the firepower of the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain, unable to advance half a step at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, I took it for granted that if the Vietnamese army wanted to attack Height 217, the first thing to do was to use shells to clear the mines and barbed wire on the slope.

However, the Vietnamese army does not seem to do this...

Later I realized that it wasn't that Yue Guizi didn't want to do it, but that they couldn't do it.

The 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army rushed to Sabah to reinforce Lao Cai, and the ammunition with the army was not much. During the battle of Dai Nai, I led my soldiers to blow up a large number of artillery and guns on the triangular high ground. Although the artillery ammunition was supplemented in the next few days, Vietnam was fighting on two fronts at this time, and domestic resources were severely depleted, so the artillery ammunition added to Sabah was simply a drop in the bucket.

This is why the artillery of the Vietnamese Army 316a did not dare to confront the artillery of our army... The number of artillery and ammunition is not at the same level, so how dare they dare to challenge.

After that, the artillery of the Vietnamese army was used several times to attack my interspersed troops, so the artillery soon fell into the dilemma of having no ammunition to fight.

So there was this scene before us... The Vietnamese army only fired artillery for a few minutes, and there were only a few bullet craters on the slope, some of which were fired by the soldiers of the 447 regiment before.

In this case, I don't think the Vietnamese army dared to charge towards our position, but I soon realized that I was wrong...

Because in the next second, a company of Vietnamese troops slowly pressed towards our position under the cover of ten tanks.

Some people may say...Will the Vietnamese army send only one company with too few soldiers?

We have a company of soldiers on Highland 217, right?Then, according to the principle that the attacking side must have at least twice the strength of the defending side to achieve a balance, the Vietnamese army must have at least two companies.

But that's just a general situation. The current situation is...the slope of the 217 highland is full of landmines. If the troops' charge surface is spread too wide, it seems that they came up to step on the landmines.

Therefore, I think the offensive thinking of the Vietnamese army should be to use as much firepower and troops as possible to forcibly create a passage on the 217 Heights.

It should be said that the Vietnamese army is still better than our army in terms of infantry and tank coordination. After all, they are all veterans who have fought, and they have also fought against Yankees. As the saying goes, they have never eaten pork and seen pigs walk. After playing for so long, of course I will learn something from them.

So at this moment, the stance really looks a bit like that of the US military... Tanks are driving unhurriedly in front, and they are separated by a certain distance and lined up in a straight line to advance forward, while infantry interspersed in between to use tanks The cover followed up... If it weren't for the military uniforms on their bodies and the weapons in their hands, maybe they would really have regarded them as Yankees.

With the sound of "rumbling" motors... the tanks of the Vietnamese army drove to the foot of our mountain and stopped, and then the ten tanks "creaked" to adjust the angle of their turrets...

Seeing that the adjusted angles of those tank guns were all facing the slope of 217 Heights in one direction, I knew that I was right: Yue Guizi was going to use all available weapons to shoot a line on the minefield on this slope. aisle. (To be continued.)
