The Vietnamese Japanese grenade launcher is the m79 grenade launcher seized from the US military during the US-Vietnam War.om
To be precise, it cannot be said that it was seized from the US military. During the US-Vietnam War, the US military equipped a large amount of m79 to the South Vietnamese army. When the US military withdrew from the South Vietnamese army, the North Vietnamese army also obtained a large amount of m79 from the South Vietnamese army.
American equipment, including the m79 grenade launcher.
There is no need to say much about the use of grenade launchers. Simply put, this thing is a weapon between a grenade and a mortar.
The distance of the grenade is about fifty meters. Experts can throw it to seventy meters. Some soldiers with good quality can even throw it to one hundred meters... There is a guy like this in our synthesis camp, and the soldiers call him
For "human mortar", that is, people can use it as a mortar. Many people have made a summary of how far he can throw it, believing that it is because he is tall, has long hands, and has arm strength.
The waist strength is sufficient, so I can reach more than 80 meters with one swing, and occasionally I can reach 100 meters. However, this is an exception even in our synthesis camp.
Although the mortar is far, its minimum range is 200 meters due to the shooting angle problem, which means there is a vacuum at a distance of 70 to 200 meters, so the longest range is 400 meters.
The grenade launcher was invented. This is a bit similar to the grenade launcher widely used by the Japanese devils in World War II. However, Japan had not yet made grenade launcher into a gun at that time, and the grenade launcher was a grenade.
Not a special grenade.
The advantage of the m79 grenade launcher is that it can be fired in a shelter, just like the current Japanese devils, those Japanese devils holding grenade launchers mixed in the crowd of people charging in the Vietnamese army and approached our position until they approached within a hundred meters.
At that time, I hid behind stones or in bullet craters. Then I kept shooting grenades at our position.
And what about us...rifles, machine guns, etc. cannot suppress them at all. Bullets can only be shot in straight lines. The Japanese hiding in the bunker and fighting grenades without even showing their heads. Then even if our shooting skills are good, we can't hit them.
them.
Fortunately, the grenades from the Vietnamese Japanese were within 100 meters, and some even reached seventy or eighty meters away... At this distance, it was within the throwing range of our grenades, although there was one in our synthesis camp.
Usually, the enemy can only throw grenades for more than fifty meters, but now we are at a low place, so if we throw them with more than fifty meters of force, we can win the Yue Japanese.
So the grenade launcher of the Yue Japanese was quickly blown away by us, leaving only a few Yue Japanese who used grenade launchers, but they didn't dare to continue fighting again.
I was wondering at that time. The maximum range of the M79 grenade launcher of the Yue Japanese was 400 meters, right? Why did the Yue Japanese have to use their bodies to approach our position within 100 meters? It is conceivable that if they were a little further away
...For example, if we are one hundred meters away, we can only call mortars to deal with them.
Later I found out that the Japanese were actually not allowed to do it.
You should know that these m79s were left behind in the era of the US-Vietnam War. They are not new things. You should know that the US-Vietnam War ended in 75, which means that these equipment will last at least ten years, plus Vietnam
The place is very humid and the weapons and equipment are prone to rust, so over the past ten years, these grenade launchers have greatly reduced their range, accuracy and reliability.
On the other hand, the range of 400 meters also refers to the farthest range on the flat ground. Now the Vietnamese army is going to fight us at a high place at a low place... So it is really not possible to not enter within 100 meters.
A hundred meters away, we can't reach our position, but attack our own people who are charging.
When I knew this from the Vietnamese prisoners, I couldn't help but secretly be grateful. If it weren't for these reasons that affected the range of these grenade launchers, our army wouldn't know how many more casualties would be caused in this battle.
If the battle continues like this, I am not very worried. After all, there is only more than an hour before the total attack time, so it is no problem to hold on this top position with the strength of our synthetic battalion for more than an hour.
Some people have some concerns that the Vietnamese army will send more mortars to bomb the 1142 mountain top position, but that is also a suicide bombing, and the Vietnamese army may not have fewer casualties than ours.
Another point is the ammunition problem. Although we prepared two base ammunition for the Black Hawk this time, the consumption speed of our bullets was also quite amazing under the continuous attack of the Vietnamese army.
I guessed that if I continued to fight like this, I was afraid that I would be exhausted in half an hour.
But this is just a little concern. First of all, the Vietnamese Japanese do not have so many troops to let us fight... The reason why we consume a lot of ammunition now is that the Vietnamese Japanese launch a intensive charge against our army, and in the past half an hour it has been
In less than a time, more than fifty bodies of the Vietnamese army lay down in front of the position. If we included the injured and lost combat power in the Vietnamese army, we were afraid that there would be a strengthened company of Vietnamese army to be disabled.
According to this calculation, if we continue to fire like this, although our bullets will be almost finished in half an hour, there are only two companies on the 1142 high ground of the Vietnamese army, and two companies that came to reinforce, we will be killed.
More than half of it, and we can also call artillery fire to repel the charge of the Vietnamese army in order to save some ammunition.
Another reason why I am not worried about insufficient ammunition is that it is absolutely impossible to allow the helicopter to provide fire cover and airdrop some ammunition. Although the threat of Sam Seven air defense missiles exists, if more than a dozen helicopters are covered by artillery fire
As soon as I got up, I covered myself with a rocket, then dropped a few boxes of ammunition and turned around and left... It would be no problem to fight like this.
Of course, during the airdrop process, there is a very likely situation where ammunition is blown into the enemy's position by the wind. After all, the position on the top of the mountain is not big, and the mountain wind is tighter.
But this problem is not very big. At most, just like the tactic of "scattering a wide net to catch small fish" used by artillery soldiers. If you drop dozens of boxes of ammunition in one breath, there will always be a few boxes of ammunition that will be thrown to us.
On the position.
As for the ammunition that floated into the Vietnamese Japanese positions... it should be given to them.
It's nothing pity. You should know that we are short of ammunition, not the Vietnamese army. The Vietnamese army has saved enough ammunition on this high ground. So they got the ammunition, which was useless at all. In the end, we took this Yinshan Mountain by us.
After the ammunition is removed, we still have to return to our hands. And we are completely different.
The only regret to continue like this is that we cannot complete the task as planned and destroy the command of Zeyinshan. That is, the Vietnamese troops on Zeyinshan will also defend under their effective command. Fortunately, we are here at 1142 high
The ground was also stuck here like a nail, which could be said to have disrupted the Vietnamese army's defensive deployment.
However, after a few minutes my biggest concern finally emerged.
"Battery Commander!" Just as I was commanding the soldiers to fight and build fortifications, the correspondent reported to me: "The radio was disturbed by the Vietnamese army and lost contact with the division headquarters!"
Finally came, this is the problem I was most worried about, and it is also the reason why I had to get off the helicopter and command myself.
There is no doubt that once we lose contact with the division headquarters, our army besieged on the top of the mountain, will become an isolated army. An isolated army without any coordination.
In terms of artillery, we could have used snipers to cooperate with artillery fire to block the attack of the Vietnamese army on the north and on both sides, but now we can only rely on ourselves, because the artillery that had lost contact with us did not know when the Vietnamese army would come up, so
I don’t know when to fire the gun. For the same reason, the two gun companies assigned by Commander Xu could not play a role.
In terms of helicopters, it is difficult to get them to airdrop ammunition or provide cover, unless Zheng Liangqiang has a good relationship with us and knows that we have insufficient ammunition and throw a group of them into their own initiative.
"Battery Commander, this is not a solution!" After a while, Scar ran to me with his waist. He must have known that the communication was disturbed, so he came to me to discuss it.
Of course I know the meaning of Scar. After being disturbed, because the ground law and artillery were related to the acquisition, the consumption of ammunition in our army undoubtedly increased in stages. Therefore, the problems that were not problematic before have become problems now have become problems, which can be seen in a situation.
How important is communication or electronic warfare in war?
"Battery Commander!" Scar thought for a while and said, "We are next to the Vietnam Japanese Command. They interfered with our radio signals. Then their own radios can't be used?"
"That's not necessarily!" I said: "In addition to radio, they must have telephone lines."
Scar couldn't help but say.
It seemed that in cooperation with radio interference, the Vietnamese army once again charged our army, and fierce gunfire sounded again on the position. However, this time it made people feel a little uncomfortable when they heard the gunfire, maybe because of this
At that time, I knew that the bullet would be less than one shot.
"How much ammunition is left?" I asked.
"There is still a base left!" Scar replied: "You can hold on for a while, but... if you want to persist until the general attack and wait for reinforcements from the 51st Division..."
I understand that without further ado, I also understand that one hour later is the time for the general attack. How long will it take for the 51st Division to reach the top position after the general attack? You must know that there are caves everywhere on Yinshan Mountain, and there are more than a thousand more
The altitude of meter... Our helicopters came up as soon as they called, and the infantry pulled out one by one, and they were fighting up without the effective coordination of all parts of the Vietnamese command system. I was afraid that they would not be able to go up in just a few hours.
Come.
In other words, if we had to wait for reinforcements from the 51st Division, the most optimistic one would probably take several hours, and our army would have been out of ammunition and food at that time.
However, at this moment, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded in front of the position, and I couldn't help but ask: "What's the situation?"
"Battery Commander!" The guard looked at it and reported to me: "The charge of the Vietnamese Japanese was blown away by my artillery force!"
Scar and I couldn't help but look at each other... How did the artillery force know that the Vietnamese army charged at this time and attacked us in time?!
"Is the radio on?" I asked the correspondent: "Is the radio station broken?"
The first thing I thought about was whether the Japanese did not perform radio interference, but that our radio station was blown up.
But the correspondent checked and answered with certainty: "The radio station is fine, it's disturbed."
Scar also answered with certainty: "We even had the radio stations disturbed."
So we were sure that the Vietnamese army did interfere, but how could the artillery company know that there was a situation that required their artillery fire to cover it, but we were puzzled.
Later I found out that the artillery force did not know, they were just guessing and shooting... According to their statement, since the radio was disturbed and lost contact with the synthetic battalion, they were still standing there and had nothing to do. Then calculate it again
The frequency of the attacks of the Japanese before was more frequent, and it was guessed that the Japanese had almost launched a charge again now, so according to the previous coordinates, there was a round of shells.
Moreover, the battalion commander of the artillery force named Wu Ning decided to fire the cannon at this coordinate every unequal period of time. Even if the Japanese invaders cannot be killed, they can scare them and provide cover for the synthetic battalion as much as possible.
When I heard this afterwards, I almost held the battalion commander of the compost battalion and kissed him, because it had bought us a long time for the synthesis battalion, and on the other hand, it put a lot of pressure on the Yue Japanese.
The reason why this puts pressure on the Japanese devils is that one is that the Japanese devils can't understand how the mortar of the Chinese team can provide cover. The other is that there will be a burst of artillery fire in front of the position, and this
The time is still uncertain. Sometimes it takes more than ten minutes, sometimes it takes only two minutes, and even a few incendiary bombs come from time to time, which only blows up the front of our position. It instantly creates a kind of enemy.
Dark situation.
This made the charge of the Vietnamese army numb... Is it better to rush or not? What if another cannon comes up?!
The benefits of artillery are here, which is a bit similar to the battle our army fought in the direction of Laoshan before, using artillery to blow up a fire wall to provide cover for the front-line infantry.
Of course, this must have enough shell support, and our army is just about to prepare to launch a general attack on Zheyin Mountain, so enough shells have been stored during this period.
But it is obvious that the firepower assistance provided to us by the mortar company alone is far from enough, because the Japanese devils are not fools. They soon discovered that our army's mortars were just blindly bombing according to coordinates...
It is not difficult to find this point. The Vietnamese army charges on the position and the shelling continues, which is very telling.
So the Vietnamese army quickly changed their main attack direction. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
