blood of vietnam war

Chapter 160 Three Tanks

The battle was very fierce. The charging Vietnamese army fell down one group and then came up again, and the Vietnamese army on the tank defense line fired at our army almost non-stop.Of course, the tank guns and mortars seemed to be useless after hitting the back. After all, there were only a limited number of dozens of shells on the tank, and some of them were armor-piercing shells aimed at tanks.

The continuous battles only made me and the soldiers breathless... Speaking of which, we have not had much rest since the start of this battle. We just rested for an hour and marched all the way to Huanglian Mountain to participate in the battle... It can be said that our physical strength has almost reached its limit at this time.

Company Commander Luo also thought about exchanging positions with the fourth company that was going to replace us...but after discussing with the team leader, he dismissed this idea.

There are two reasons:

One is that the battle was too tight, and the Yue Guizi came in waves one after another. When the previous wave attacked the slope to fight our army, the latter wave used the tank defense line to follow closely to prepare for the battle. Wait until the previous wave is almost finished, then continue to charge forward.

This kind of offensive density makes us dare not change defenses easily, because when the troops change defenses, especially when changing defenses in narrow trenches, it is easy to be crowded and chaotic. Potentially allowing them to break through the line of defence.

Another reason is that the team leader is worried that even if we successfully switch defenses, the new fighters will not be able to adapt to such intense battles for a while... This worry is also reasonable, just like people who have just woken up are not suitable for strenuous exercise Or it is not appropriate to relax and rest right away after strenuous exercise. In this battle, you must be mentally prepared to enter the fighting state before you can fight well.

Some people may say...then the replacement fourth company can be replaced in squads or platoons, so that there will be no confusion, and second, the fighters of the fourth company can enter the fighting state one by one, right?

This is indeed a way, but... If you do this, another problem will arise-the problem of command coordination.

Some people think that this is not easy, just let the backup troops obey the orders of Company Commander Luo.

But on the battlefield, it is not as simple as obeying someone's orders. In many cases, a commander should be familiar with the soldiers under his opponent, at least familiar with the cadres and backbones, and have a big understanding of their abilities and combat effectiveness. knowledge before assigning tasks or making decisions based on their capabilities.

If a bunch of new faces come up all at once, it's not just that Company Commander Luo has no idea, but even us soldiers feel guilty. At that time, we will think in our hearts: Can these newcomers hold our flanks? ?Can you keep pace with us on the battlefield?Can we trust our lives to them?

So under the attack of the Vietnamese army, we can only grit our teeth and hold on. After all, it is nothing compared to losing our lives.

"Bang bang..." I don't know how many Vietnamese troops I have killed. My main target is the fire cover troops of the Vietnamese army on the tank defense line.

Because I know that compared to those charging Vietnamese troops, the troops covered by the Vietnamese army's firepower are our biggest threat.As long as their firepower can successfully suppress our army's firepower... then don't think too much, the Vietnamese army will rush up one after another.Otherwise, those charging Vietnamese troops were just targets for the soldiers.

But when I hit it, I felt a kind of helplessness in my heart.

I have a sniper rifle in my hand. Although I was able to kill the Vietnamese army machine gunners and mortar gunners on the tank defense line one by one... However, the Vietnamese machine gunners went up one after another. It should be said that the Vietnamese army almost Everyone can shoot machine guns, because I saw that any infantryman who came up and picked up a machine gun could shoot at our hilltop position, so I couldn't finish it.

This is probably the scary thing about the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army. They are not only excellent in military quality, but what is even more frightening is that they seem to have been trained to have no sense of death.

But I think there should be a part of the reason for this, because they clearly know that if they don't capture the 217 Heights, they can only wait to be surrounded and wiped out.

As the battle intensified, the passage on the 217 highland became wider and wider, and more and more troops could be invested by the Vietnamese army.In the beginning, a company has to be divided into several batches, and then there are two platoons, and now it is enough for a company to spread out on the slope...

Of course, the price paid by the Vietnamese army was also very heavy. There were corpses, limbs and broken arms all over the ground on the slope, and even a battalion of Yue devils died under our guns... In the past, the Vietnamese army would kill them in the gaps between battles. The corpse was dragged back, but this time they did not do so.

I think this is intentional by the Yue Guizi. Although the corpses will slow down the progress of the Vietnamese army to a certain extent, they can also suppress the underground mines... This will allow the Vietnamese army to move towards me more confidently and boldly. Army position attack.The lesser of two evils, the Vietnamese army is not a fool, of course they also know that the latter is more beneficial to them.

However, I later learned that the Vietnamese army actually had another intention in not dragging the corpse back.

But this is something later, I just feel a little strange now... Isn't there only two regiments of the Vietnamese army in front of us?If the Yue devils consume their troops at this speed, I am afraid that there is no need for the main force of our army to attack them... As long as we have enough ammunition, it only takes two or three days. Division 316a may no longer exist.

"How much ammunition is there?" I asked Wu Zhijun.

Wu Zhijun's squad often takes on the task of delivering ammunition for our platoon, which is also out of consideration for giving them time to adapt to the battlefield.

"This..." Wu Zhijun was a little embarrassed when he heard this question: "Report to the platoon leader, I didn't have time to count!"

"Hmm!" So I changed the way of asking: "How much is it consumed?"

"Big [-]%!" Wu Zhijun replied: "The Yue Guizi has a lot of ammunition, it's like an ammunition depot!"

I nodded in satisfaction. It is reasonable for the Vietnamese army to store so much ammunition in the pass. The devils think that this place should be very safe, and storing ammunition in this area can also become a logistics supply station for the main force of the Vietnamese army... But they never imagined that these ammunition would fall into our hands.

Now, [-]% of the ammunition wiped out a battalion of the Yue Guizi, which means that all the ammunition is large enough to wipe out a regiment of the Yue Guizi... Even if the Yue Guizi still has a regiment, but if we destroy a regiment like this, I will I can't believe they dare to continue fighting like this!

Even if they still dare to fight like this, then I believe that Yue Guizi's ammunition is almost exhausted.And we can still pick up bullets from the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers in front of the position and continue to fight, can't we?It is very difficult for the Vietnamese army as the offensive side to do this.

So I felt even more strange, could Yue Guizi really fight like this?Is it really just heaping human lives like this?

When I was wondering, another batch of offensive troops from the Vietnamese army came up again.

The attack this time seems to be a little different from the previous ones: after entering the tank defense line, there are more people ready to charge, there is a large reinforcement company, and it is still increasing, especially... I also see A few more boxes of shells were lifted up, which meant that the Vietnamese army was going to bombard our army's positions again.

Sure enough, after the two shells exploded on our army's position, the Vietnamese army shouted and charged towards our army's position again. They carried bayonet-loaded guns and stepped on the corpses of their comrades like ants. Our positions piled up, anti-aircraft machine guns and tank guns soon rang out...

This doesn't surprise me. In some respects, the Vietnamese army's charge is not purely looking for death. They are very good at using bomb craters and the corpses of their comrades as cover, and they even successfully built a wall on the slope. Two machine gun emplacements were established.

How did the Vietnamese army do it?

There will always be some places on the high ground that are uneven, and some parts, such as the ridge, will block part of the firing angle of our army's machine guns on the top of the mountain.Of course, it cannot be the dead spot of all the machine guns of our army. In fact, from the perspective of light transmission in a straight line, if there is a place where all the firepower of our army is dead, then the Vietnamese army hiding there will also see it. There is no firepower point of our army.

The Vietnamese army chose positions that were difficult to cover with firepower. First, they used tank guns or mortars to blow up a few holes, and then the first group of people came up to dig a few times and piled up a few corpses... After the sacrifice, the second group came again. Immediately afterwards, he came up and continued to pile up the corpses, so a machine gun position piled up with corpses appeared there after a few times!

This may be unimaginable in a peaceful world, but we can accept it on the battlefield, because it is full of death, killing and cruelty.

What I'm curious about is why the Vietnamese army fired several shells every once in a while, and they seemed to deliberately connect mortars and tank guns, one after another...

Then, I found a bigger problem from the landing point of those shells: sometimes the Vietnamese army mortarers would not aim at all in a hurry to shoot the shells out.

So I knew that what they did was not to cover the charge of the troops, but to hide something.

what to hide?

The only thing that can hide the sound of the artillery is the sound... So I retracted the gun and hid in the trench to listen carefully. This time I heard something in the gap between the sound of the artillery:

It's the track... the track of the tank! (To be continued.)
