blood of vietnam war

Chapter 180 Eight Road Bridge ([-])

"The blasting team, organize to blow up the bridge immediately!" Company Commander Zhang also knew that this was the responsibility of their engineering unit, so he quickly gave orders to his soldiers.

"Organize firepower to cover the engineering troops to blow up the bridge!" Company Commander Luo is a person who has withstood the test of war, of course he knows that the infantry firepower is needed at this time.

So the battle started quickly. Soldiers from the Second Company poked their heads out of the trenches to shoot at the Vietnamese army on the opposite side of the bridge, while the engineering troops of the Fifth Company divided into several teams and rushed towards the highway bridge desperately...

It is said that this engineering unit is still somewhat fearless at critical moments, but this does not seem to be surprising, as I said before, there will always be some heroes and some bears in an army, and the engineering unit is no exception.

What's more... It was originally the responsibility of the fifth engineering company to blow up the bridge. At this time, they had already blown up the highway bridge and made the Vietnamese army look at the bridge. Judging this situation... In any case, this is also their mistake. Out of a sense of responsibility to make up for their mistakes, some soldiers from the engineering army should also go up to blow up the bridge.

However, sometimes it is not enough to not be afraid of sacrifice on the battlefield.

In order to be able to quickly capture the highway bridge, the Vietnamese army did not even stop the long-range artillery fire when they charged.

It should be said that this point is very smart. Under normal circumstances, long-range artillery fire does not have much accuracy... After all, it is artillery shells fired from tens of kilometers away, so there will always be errors due to wind deflection and the like, and the enemy is often The troops hiding in the trenches and charging must stand up, so the long-range artillery fire must stop when the troops on their side have rushed to a certain distance, otherwise the artillery fire may kill more of their own people than the enemy.

However, the Vietnamese army did not do this. The reason is that they saw that the south side of the highway bridge was in the shadow of the reverse slope of the highland... In other words, because of the occlusion of the highland in the south of the bridge, the long-range artillery fire would only hit the north of the bridge and basically not hit it. to the south of the bridge.

This allowed the Vietnamese army to safely and boldly charge the highway bridge under the bombardment of artillery fire. At the same time, the condescending fire cover of the Vietnamese army on the high ground also played a great role... This is actually a very good The long-range artillery is powerful but not high-precision, while the short-range firepower is not powerful but targeted strafing, which forms a very good complementarity, so the firepower can only hit our army head-to-head Can't lift it up.

The only advantage of our army is...the Vietnamese army must rush through the road bridge that is only more than four meters wide, so this road bridge naturally becomes the throat of the Vietnamese army on the way forward.

The soldiers of the Second Company have all fought on the battlefield, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, so there is no need to order the road bridge to be firmly blocked with firepower, so even if the Vietnamese army's firepower covers the overwhelming pressure Come over, but the battle situation has reached a stalemate for a while, our army can't rush over, and the Vietnamese army can't rush over.

The soldiers of the engineering army rushed up one by one, and one by one they fell into a pool of blood.The Yue Guizi also rushed up in waves, and wave after wave they were beaten into sieves.

"Bang!" A bullet knocked down a Vietnamese soldier on the high ground.

As a sniper, I knew that I should set the target farther away, so my line of sight directly bypassed the Vietnamese troops charging towards the road bridge, and turned to the enemy on the high ground as a cover fire mission.

After quickly observing the positions of the Vietnamese army, I initially determined that the Vietnamese army only had two light machine guns and one mortar. This is good news for us, and it also proves that Chen Yiyi's judgment is correct. To march in the jungle, you must pack lightly.

This bullet hit the mortar shooter of the Vietnamese army. Perhaps it was because the Vietnamese army believed that their firepower was sufficient to suppress our army, so even this long-range attack weapon was placed on the positive slope.

However, this seems to be necessary. We must know that fighter planes are changing rapidly, especially because the purpose of the Vietnamese army is to prevent our army from blowing up bridges. The mortar crew must observe the target in real time and respond to important targets in time.

So this gave me a chance... Having experience in the battlefield, I certainly know the power of the 82 gun at close range. Because of the close range, it has a very high accuracy. In addition, it is a gun, and it can even shoot incendiary bombs... ...don't even think about it, that's my first goal.

"boom!"

The second shot was the secondary shooter of the mortar. This is the disadvantage of using a sniper rifle... To control the enemy's firepower, it is often not enough to shoot accurately, because the bullet can only kill the enemy but cannot destroy the enemy's body. Weapons, which made it necessary for me to focus on the main target, lest other enemies continue to use mortars or divert mortars.

At this moment, I can't help but hope that our army can also have a few mortars to bombard the Yueguizi's position... But we seem to have it. I remember that when the retreating troops came down, they brought a few mortars, didn't they?

However, to my regret, none of those cannons had any effect... I later learned that those troops had continued to retreat at the moment when we fought with the Yue Devils.

But this seems to be no wonder to them, their mission is to retreat, isn't it?Strictly speaking, they are also carrying out orders, they just did not choose to actively participate in the battle to help friendly forces in the face of war.

"Bang!" I fired the third shot after shifting positions.

It should be said that the quality of the Vietnamese army we are facing is still very good. The artillery fire of the Vietnamese army exploded into a ball on our army's position, which suppressed our army's firepower and also formed dense smoke around our army's position. I thought that with the cover of this smoke and dust, I would not have to change positions, but I realized that I was wrong when a machine gun concentrated fire and fired a bullet at my position.

The machine gunner was supposed to be a sniper, otherwise he couldn't have spotted me and reacted in such a short time just because I took out two mortar shooters.

As I see it, sometimes the sniper is not necessarily holding a sniper rifle, because there will always be more suitable weapons on different battlefields. For example, it makes sense for a Vietnamese army sniper to use a machine gun... All around us are the flames and dust from the shells, aren't we?This means that the sniper scope can't play much role, it can only see far but has no perspective function.

Just like me, the sniper scope was covered with a layer of dust before I shot a few shots, which seriously affected my vision, which made me have to spend a little time cleaning it when I poked my head out.

So a machine gun might be a better choice at this time. The shooting range of this thing is comparable to that of a sniper rifle, but the accuracy is a little bit worse, and it can kill a large area of ​​​​targets in bursts...

It should be said that this point of his is worth learning from me, but he was too careless...Although he immediately shifted his position after shooting a bunch of bullets at me, but...he should change back to his own at this time. A sniper rifle is right.

The reason is very simple. The firepower of the machine gun is obviously different from that of the ak47, which makes it easy for me to find the machine gun position through the dense shooting of bullets and the sparks of the muzzle. There are only two machine guns on the high ground of the Vietnam Army, and one of the machine guns is The position remains the same, so the other one that has changed position...of course is the position of the Vietnamese army sniper.

So the sniper rifle in my hand fired another bullet... At this time, the accuracy of the sniper rifle showed its role again.

Perhaps the sniper rifle played a role in suppressing the firepower of the Vietnamese army's position. At this time, several people from the engineering unit had rushed to the road bridge.However, what makes me a little helpless is that the soldiers seem to have to climb from the bridge to the bottom of the bridge...

At first, I thought...the bombing of the bridge, I took a few explosives up and ignited them and put them on the bridge surface, wouldn't it be over with a "boom"?

It was only later that I found out that this was not the case. Yue Guizi’s bridge was made of reinforced concrete, and it was one meter thick. The bridges in important parts should also be built stronger, otherwise, those that can be blown down by just a few shells will be the same as none.

So this caused us a lot of trouble. If we want to blow up the bridge, we must detonate the internal charges on the pier... This is also the work of Wulian these days: this highway bridge has a total of three nodes, one node is on the south bank , one node is on the north bank, the middle node is a bridge pier, and the three nodes are connected and supported by an arch bridge... So don't think about it, the key to the blasting lies in the middle pier.

In the past few days, the Fifth Company of Engineers had built a drug chamber on the pier at the stone arch for internal charging. All they had to do was ignite the internal drug chamber...

However, this is easier said than done, but it is harder than reaching the sky.

The reason is that the Vietnamese army had discovered our army's intentions at this time... The Vietnamese army was not a fool. They quickly judged from our army's engineers rushing up one after another that our army was going to conduct artificial detonation.Their purpose is to occupy the highway bridge and ensure the traffic of the troops, so of course they will not let our army do this so easily... So more than a dozen AK firepower was concentrated to block our army's engineering troops.

On the other hand, our army's engineering troops... Even if they can rush to the bridge with tactical actions, they are sacrificed one by one by the guns of the Vietnamese army because they have to put ropes to climb down the bridge pier... After all, compared with the Vietnamese army, those who are The fighters climbing up and down the rope are just too obvious.

So the soldiers fell on the bridge one by one, or were hit on the rope and fell into the deep stream under the bridge.Although the engineers and soldiers rushed forward one after another, it was still in vain.

It seems that we... can only wait for the moment when the Vietnamese army runs out of bullets. (To be continued.)
