The Vietnamese army's attack on our bunker group finally slowed down after forty minutes.
It's not because of anything else, but because they suffered too many casualties, or they have tried all kinds of methods but still made no progress in the end.
In less than an hour, the Vietnamese army launched more than 20 large and small charges towards us. Each charge left a pile of corpses on the position. By now, a thick pile of corpses had been piled up in front of our position.
There was a thick carpet of corpses, most of them with their heads facing towards us and extending outward in a radial pattern with the bunker as the center. There were at least two to three hundred corpses.
Not to mention other things, let’s just talk about these two or three hundred corpses... This is already more than half of the garrison on the 1142th Highland. Adding in the wounded, I am afraid that we will lose all the reinforcements that came up later.
combat effectiveness.
Later, according to the accounts of Vietnamese prisoners, in order to regain their headquarters, the Vietnamese army invested four companies, and these four companies were all the main companies on Zheyin Mountain, and all of them were veterans who had rolled on the battlefield, but even if
In the end, I was beaten until I lost my confidence.
At this time, I thought it was the Vietnamese commander who gave the order to stop the attack, but it was not the case.
From the Vietnamese prisoners, I heard something I had never heard of before: the soldiers of the four companies of the Vietnamese army responsible for attacking our bunker group collectively disobeyed orders... that is, the Vietnamese company commander was still shouting to move forward.
Charge, but the soldiers didn't care so much, and by this time no one wanted to charge.
This is partly due to the large number of deaths of Vietnamese army commanders... The Vietnamese army is the same as our army, the grassroots commanders have to be at the forefront, and their command system is also the same as ours. When the company commander dies, the deputy company commander takes over, and the deputy commander takes over.
If the company commander dies, the platoon commander will take over.
If this is the case, there will not be a big problem in command. After all, these Yue Japanese are experienced veterans and know what to do. But the new commander may not be able to obey like the previous commander.
, they may not have that kind of courage, and even they themselves have the same idea as the soldiers and do not want to continue fighting.
On the other hand, the Vietnamese army generally believed that continuing to fight like this was a meaningless sacrifice.
I agree with this point. It can be said that the Vietnamese army has exhausted all methods. At that time, even I didn't know how to fight this battle from the perspective of the Vietnamese army.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Vietnamese army, which has always refused to admit defeat, would disobey orders on the battlefield, and even showed signs of mutiny when they were cornered by officers.
Moreover, the influence of this wavering of military morale soon spread... Many Vietnamese troops will be thinking that since they cannot break through this bunker group now, it means that they cannot reinforce the headquarters, and the inability to reinforce the headquarters means that Zheyinshan
was lost. So... we simply evacuated from Yinshan.
There is a saying that "a defeat is like a mountain falling", which refers to this phenomenon. Human psychology is so strange. If you don't admit defeat or give in even half a step from the beginning, then you are very likely to persist until the end.
, but if there is even a little bit of the idea of being angry, even if it is just a little sign, and if this sign is not extinguished in time, it will soon be like a flood that bursts out of control.
So at that time, a few soldiers planned to sneak away, but this momentum was temporarily stopped until they were caught by the Vietnamese commander and shot on the spot.
This is a situation that has never appeared on the battlefield: a defensive battle, a defensive battle in which our army defends the main offensive of the Vietnamese army... To be precise, it is a defensive battle on the local battlefield where the special agent battalion defends. The main attacking side also
Even if the Vietnamese army cannot attack, they can stop attacking or postpone the attack, right? There is no need to run away!
But this defensive battle was fought like this. The Vietnamese army almost completely collapsed and almost withdrew from Zheyin Mountain.
However, I think that the occurrence of this phenomenon cannot be said to be entirely due to our combined battalion. It is also partly due to the pressure put on the Vietnamese army by the 51st Division preparing to attack Yinshan across the entire line.
In the end, the Vietnamese army in front of us still did not withdraw from Zheyin Mountain... This is necessary, otherwise the news will soon spread to all the highlands of Zheyin Mountain, and then the entire defense line will quickly collapse.
But in fact, if they did not withdraw from Yinshan, they would not be able to play a big role, because they are already a force without morale and temper.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the pointer slowly pointed to seven o'clock. I couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when I saw several signal bombs rising in the sky... The general attack on Zheyin Mountain finally began.
First of all, there is a round of artillery fire as usual. This artillery fire is no longer almost aimless like the previous month. Most of these artillery fires are fired by lurking at the front of the enemy's position to guide our artillery, or to explode.
Destroy the Vietnamese army's mines, blow up obstacles, or blow up their fortifications.
The preparations for the artillery fire lasted for half an hour, but the explosion only caused the entire sky over Zheyin Mountain to be obscured by gunpowder smoke. The sky that had just brightened once again fell into darkness, giving people the illusion that the sun was setting down the mountain as soon as it came up.
.
Then there were bursts of gunfire and artillery fire... There were not many shouts of killing. At this time, our army was no longer interested in this, unless it was to boost morale and intimidate the enemy when launching a counterattack.
, Under normal circumstances, like this time when the 51st Division launched an attack on Zheyin Mountain, it would be a strong collaboration between infantry and artillery... After the infantry takes a step forward or conducts a fire test to find the target, those who can use artillery will use artillery to bombard it. It is really impossible to use it.
The artillerymen considered taking matters into their own hands.
However, I think that the 51st Division will not have any difficulty in inserting, dividing and surrounding the Vietnamese army. After all, the Vietnamese army’s headquarters is already in our hands, and its troops in various positions can no longer coordinate effectively. On the other hand, 1142 High
The main force of the Vietnamese army on the ground was severely beaten by us, and a large number of troops were restrained here by us.
Facts have also proved that what I thought was right. One of our army's insertion troops even captured seventeen Vietnamese troops in one go. Of course, this is also related to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the 51st Division.
As for the two hundred coffins that Mr. Xu prepared before, I think one hundred is too many.
I would like to use the above chapter to pay tribute to all the soldiers of the 31st Division of the 11th Army. In the battle to regain Yinshan, the division successfully regained Yinshan at the cost of 115 casualties. In this battle, a total of 550 enemies were killed, 18 were captured, and 18 were wounded.
The enemy was unable to count and seized 19 artillery pieces with a caliber of over 60, 151 firearms of various types and a batch of military supplies. r1152
