blood of vietnam war

That night, the Vietnamese army launched three charges on Height 581.

But I have to say that the night combat capability of the 316th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army is far worse than that of the [-]a Division of the Vietnamese Army. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that they are American troops!The Yankees back then were super afraid of night battles, weren't they?

It's not that Yankees are timid or anything, though that's true.The more important reason...it should be said is because of objective reasons.

First of all, of course, it is because they are not familiar with the terrain. If they still fight at night when the terrain is not familiar, then the whole thing is a blind man feeling an elephant.Yankee lives are worth a fortune...of course they wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

The second is because of the equipment. Compared with the Soviet-style weapons...the US military's equipment is more sophisticated, that is, it has a longer range and higher accuracy, such as the difference between m16 and ak47.In fact, this is not only the case with assault rifles, most other weapons such as machine guns also have such characteristics, which are determined by the military industry characteristics and research and development styles of the two countries.The US pays more attention to advanced equipment, while the Soviet Union pays more attention to cheap and fast mass production... There are so many people, although the weapons are not very good, but the rapid and large-scale investment can also explode quite astonishing combat effectiveness.

So... Will the Yankees have this kind of equipment with a longer range and higher accuracy to fight night battles with the Soviet-style Vietnamese army?Once it gets dark, the long range and high precision will all be useless?So, as seen in movies and TV, on the Vietnam battlefield, the Yankees always piled sandbags around the positions for defense before dark, in case the Vietnamese army would launch a sneak attack at night.

Of course, if it is the US military equipped with night vision goggles, it is another matter, but this kind of equipment is still advanced equipment in this era, and even the US military has only a small amount of equipment.

Therefore, the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, which is also equipped with American equipment, should have avoided night battles with our army because of equipment and training factors...just because the 581 Heights captured by our army is too important, one is Because of its blocked traffic arteries, and the other because of the storage of ammunition... So he bit the bullet and launched three attacks on our army.

However, because of the inherent fear of night battles and unfamiliarity with the terrain... Some people may say, isn't the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army Vietnamese?How can you be afraid that night battles will not be familiar with the terrain?You must know that although they are Vietnamese, they are South Vietnamese... When North Vietnam was still fighting guerrillas barefoot, Saigon in South Vietnam had already started to indulge in luxury with the help of France and the United States.

In other words, the South Vietnamese were more influenced by Western culture, while the North Vietnamese were more influenced by the Soviet Union and China.This has directly led to the great differences between the north and the south of the current Vietnamese, both in their surnames and in their living habits.

So these three attacks were easily beaten back by us without exception.

The most ridiculous thing is the last time... Maybe the last time the Vietnamese army had no fighting spirit at all. Thinking about it, they were forced into battle by officers... From the Vietnamese prisoners of war, we know that the officers of the 419th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese army were all North Vietnamese soldiers served, and they were also soldiers with "firm political stance and tenacious fighting will".It is precisely for this reason that the Vietnamese army shot and killed the Vietnamese army who was about to surrender on the [-] Heights.

Well... the last time when the Vietnamese army came up, the black and black people beat me indiscriminately without seeing anyone. This was a very lively fight with grenades and machine guns.And someone shouted in it: "We are in an ambush, ask for help, ask for help!"

"It's the People's Liberation Army... There are too many of them, at least two companies!"

……

I have to admit that their play really looks like it, if it weren't for the fact that I can speak Vietnamese and know what they are yelling... I really thought there was an army of our army fighting fiercely with them below!

The Yue Guizi retreated after tossing like this for a while, only to see that the soldiers all opened their mouths wide open for a long time and couldn't close their mouths... You must know that the ammunition of these Vietnamese troops is stored in the highland we are guarding. This means that the ammunition of the Vietnamese army is very precious now, but they are tossing like this...

But having said that, maybe they just hope that their ammunition will run out as soon as possible, so that they don't have to go to the battlefield again, right?

At this time, I felt a little strange... From this point of view, it seems that the Vietnamese army made a mistake in placing the Fifth Infantry Division in such an important main attack position.But after thinking about it, I quickly understood... Most of the Vietnamese troops are still in Cambodia and have not had time to withdraw. Their few main forces were disabled by us in the counterattack, such as the 316a division. , Who else can give the Fifth Infantry Division the main offensive task now?

This also gave us some prep time during the night.

The first is the formation and training of the machine gun platoon... We carried out three of the five grenade launchers for use, two for direct combat, and one as a backup.

The reason for this decision is to save ammunition...Although there are a lot of ammunition in the grenade launcher in the cave, I know from Marx that the rate of fire of this thing is very fast...I later learned that the theoretical rate of fire of this thing is There are more than 300 rounds per minute. If these recruits are fired without control, they will shoot up all the grenades in the entire ammunition depot in less than half an hour.

The other...is because I know this grenade launcher is a treasure, doesn't our country have one?And the next step is the policy of strengthening the military in our country, and we will learn and imitate foreign weapons on a large scale to arm ourselves... This is actually very helpless. China in this era is far behind other countries, and it will not work if you don't learn.

So... two of the grenade launchers will be sent back to China for research.Of course, this is only if we can survive... I have already made a plan. If we can't survive until the reinforcements arrive, we will blow up the entrance of the cave and seal the ammunition depot, so that the Vietnamese army can't do anything for a while, saying Maybe the reinforcements will arrive in time to get this batch of equipment.

Among this batch of equipment... I believe that there are also individual radios that will be of research value. Communication equipment has always been a shortcoming of our army, hasn't it?As for those m16s, mortars and so on... These should not be of much use. Our army is following the route of Soviet-style equipment. In the long run, the cooperation between China and the United States is temporary, and historical facts have also proved this point , so it is more reliable to take the Soviet-style route.

It is true that Marx has two hands, and he quickly learned how to use the grenade launcher... But then again, the use of various weapons and equipment is actually similar, and it is not difficult.The real difficulty is its maintenance and some precautions that we don't know...just like the m16.

But these are not things we need to care about. Anyway, we only need to stick to it for one day.So the soldiers quickly learned how to use the grenade launcher, and they really used it... In order to let them operate more skillfully, Marx asked them to go up and shoot a few rounds, and the "chug" burst... ...Seeing a few clusters of sparks erupting far below the position, the soldiers only clicked their tongues.

"This thing can hit so far!" Even Max was a little surprised.

Later, I learned from the captive that the effective range of this grenade launcher is 1500 meters, and the longest range can even reach 2212 meters...much farther than my sniper rifle!

Then there is the construction of the fortifications...

This is also aimed at this grenade launcher. Experience on the battlefield tells us that any powerful equipment will inevitably be the focus of the enemy's attack.For example, machine gun positions, such as mortar positions... These places must be the first positions visited by enemy artillery.

Therefore, what is certain is that the grenade launcher will also be the focus of the Vietnamese artillery strikes.

Originally, I wanted to place this grenade launcher at the mouth of the tunnel... The tunnel we built is strong, isn't it?The Vietnamese army's long-range artillery can't hit our reverse slope, and the power of the mortar can hardly blow up our tunnel entrance, so the vitality is strong.

But after thinking about it, I feel wrong... If any firepower point can't be moved, it will become the target of the enemy's fixed-point elimination... This is very passive, it seems that the only way is to wait for the enemy to think of a way to fight later, or to say that it will Overwhelmed by enemy fire and unable to function.

Another... is that this grenade launcher is not very heavy, it only weighs more than 100 kilograms when it is connected to the tripod, and two soldiers can completely maneuver on the battlefield when carried one by one... It would be a pity not to use it.

So with my order, the traffic trench was widened and deepened, and a few more traffic trenches were added in important parts...in order to facilitate the movement of the grenade launcher between the tunnels.

After all these preparations are completed, it is the problem that the soldiers are familiar with American equipment... We basically follow the principle of matching arms, that is, those who used to fight AK47 learn to use M16, and those who used to use machine guns for shifts learn to use general-purpose guns. machine gun……

Some people may say, didn't you just say that it is not difficult to learn to fight these weapons?Why are there so many machine guns and rocket launchers in the cave?

It's true that you can learn this, but you have to be able to hit it accurately!For example, if someone is used to shooting a submachine gun, let him shoot a machine gun or a bazooka... It is difficult to adapt to the recoil in a short time.

Moreover, machine guns have the benefits of machine guns, and rifles also have the benefits of rifles... Rifles are relatively light and short, and can move and transfer flexibly between positions and tunnels. If everyone holds a machine gun... well, this The firepower is fierce, but the entire army has no mobility or flexibility to speak of, and even has to line up to enter the tunnel... Then wait for the Yue Devils to call in artillery fire to knock us out! (To be continued.)
