We entered the battle position around 11 o'clock that night.// Visit to download the txt novel//.
The saying "entering the combat position" sounds simple, but in fact it takes quite a bit of trouble to do it.
The reason why it took a lot of trouble was that our army wanted to launch a raid on the Vietnamese positions to achieve the sudden goal of the entire battle.
However, this is the battlefield, and there is always an attack. The troops of both sides are fighting with their lives. Of course, the enemy is not alive enough. If you make a long life, you can make a successful raid. This is usually only in movies.
It can be done easily on TV.
Especially our opponent... the Vietnamese 316a Division is still a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, so they have a way to prevent the enemy from raiding.
The Vietnamese army's method is to combine landmines and observation posts.
Needless to mention landmines, just like when we sleep at night, we will use landmines to block positions, the Japanese will also lay mines around the frontier positions. This thing will not only kill people or delay the enemy's marching speed, but also importantly
It would still remind the Vietnamese army to prepare in advance.
But this is pretty good. Our army's artillery and engineers have not been idle these two days. They either use artillery fire to clear the way or use engineers to clear mines at night. So not long after, a relatively safe road was finally opened.
However, this is just a small road leading to the frontier positions of the Vietnamese army.
What is even more difficult to deal with is the frontier observation post of the Vietnamese army.
After fighting so many battles with the Vietnamese Japanese, I also have some understanding of the front-line observation posts of the Vietnamese army, knowing that this is not just a sentry.
It has three main characteristics:
First of all, it is mainly distributed in important directions, especially in certain areas that directly confront the enemy, with front and shallow depths, intersecting and overlapping with each other to overcome the influence of terrain masking, so as to facilitate the enemy's front and two wings.
and to observe the rear.
Secondly, these posts of the Vietnamese army usually choose commanding heights that are easy to observe, but avoid obvious protrusions and directional objects. All camouflage fortifications and hidden roads are key posters, and sometimes fake posters are set up to implement the tactic of suspicion of troops.
Again, these posts generally have walkie-talkies and radio stations, and Vietnamese troops are arranged to take turns to observe the enemy's frontier military targets, activists, military vehicles and related signs.
Simply put, there are observation posts from Vietnam in just over ten miles between our army and Sabah, both large and small, and even near our army camp. These observation posts are camouflaged and hidden... as long as I
When the army takes action, they will report to the command center via walkie-talkie or radio.
Of course, under the policy of our army to clear the fields, the observation posts near the camp no longer exist, but we still cannot solve the observation posts that are far away.
The way superiors deal with them is scouts.
Just as our army was making preparations before the war, several companies of scouts had been sent out to lurk in one high ground and another to clear out...
The best way to deal with lurking is to lurk. Our scouts often sneak into the high ground that is suspected to be a Vietnamese observation post in the dark, waiting for the Vietnamese observation post to go out to observe or use a walkie-phone to move to the higher level.
When reporting the exposed position, fight to defeat the enemy.
However, even so, our scouts could not guarantee that all observation posts would be wiped out by them.
So... in order to hide the eyes of the Japanese devils, our regiment's first group of troops sent only one battalion that night, and the battalion was divided into three groups and entered the combat position through the same path considered relatively safe in advance at different times.
The so-called relative safety here means that the landmines have been removed and the observation posts have been removed.
Some people may say that the observation post of the Vietnamese Japanese was cleared... wouldn't they not report it to the headquarters? Isn't that the same telling the Vietnamese army that we are going to attack?
The problem is... Our army has been clearing the Vietnamese observation posts, and even our operation to clear the field is also clearing the observation posts. At the same time, the Vietnamese army has always known that our army will attack Sabah, but it just doesn't know the exact time.
.In addition, our scouts cleared the Vietnamese observation sentries and often sent a few translators who could speak Vietnamese to pretend to give back.
Of course, this has to be obtained from the Japanese devils. As for how the scouts do it... this is not something I need to care about.
The goal of our camp is to be in the 119.7 Heights before me.
The reason why this highland is not high is that it can become our army's main target is that it is long and wide, like a door latch, standing in front of several highlands behind it. We cannot advance without occupying it...
...So, without thinking too much, this highland is our first goal.
Our army's troops are in this way. The first company is on the left wing, the second company is on the right wing, and the third company lies with one platoon on the front of the attack and the other platoon as the reserve.
Some people may find it strange, why are there fewer troops in the front?
Anyone who has fought with the Vietnamese devils knows that the Vietnamese army usually places troops on the back slope to avoid our artillery fire. Moreover, the Vietnamese army's large number of firepower points are targeted at the front of the high ground, so it is very difficult to attack from the front.
To take the Vietnamese position as fast as possible and kill its living forces, you must have to attack head-on and launch a raid from the flanks.
This arrangement is of course correct, but the problem that follows is... The Vietnamese army of course also knew that the flanks would be their weak parts, so they buried a large number of mines in the blind spots of the two-wing artillery.
"How is the situation?" I carefully climbed forward a few steps, came to the company commander and asked.
"The situation is not good!" The company commander shook his head and replied in a low and hoarse voice: "The engineers are demining mines, but the Japanese have set up too many mines, and they have to hide mines, so the speed is very slow...
Only ten meters per hour!”
"What? You can only line up ten meters in an hour?" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
But this seems normal. Demining in the dark is not an easy task, not to mention that they must be very careful not to let the Vietnamese sentries discover...
"How long is the minefield of the Japanese?" I asked again.
"I'm not very clear!" Company Commander Luo shook his head: "But he estimated that comrades in the engineering team... there are at least seventy meters left!"
I couldn't help but sweat when I heard this, that means... it would take at least more than seven hours!
I looked at my watch and it was already eleven and I was afraid it was dawn in more than seven hours... We lurked in the thatched fields around this highland, although it seemed nothing wrong, but there was a camp.
There are so many people... Our army will not make any noise even if it is injured like the Vietnamese. As long as there are any people in this battalion, they will catch them... it means that our entire army will be
It will be exposed to the artillery fire of the Vietnamese Japanese!
So the problem we are facing now is to either launch a charge without removing the mines, or give up the attack and go home...
But neither of these options seems to have any good results.
Is it possible to charge without mine removal?
That means we have to pay a considerable amount of casualties... In fact, casualties are secondarily, and the lethality of mines is still not great. If you step on it, you will usually blow up a leg and make people only hurt and not die... This is not to say mine equipment
It is not possible to kill people with so many explosives, but to design them like this.
The purpose of designing this is that...a wounded person on the battlefield is often more troublesome than a dead person.
A soldier died, so other people could leave him alone. No one would blame them. At most, they would drag the body after the battle. However, a soldier was injured... Others would leave him alone, so they would leave him alone.
To talk about other things, such things are enough to affect the morale of a unit. Because the soldiers of the entire unit will think: If I am injured next time, will my comrades leave me alone?
Therefore, the mines were designed to target the weakness of the man's surname to make people blown to death. If one soldier was injured, two soldiers would have to carry him... This not only slows down the speed of the troops, but also directly
This caused the other two soldiers to be unable to participate in the battle.
However, these are all secondarily. More importantly, a considerable part of our company is recruits. I can't guarantee that they will continue to rush forward even though they know there are landmines ahead... In fact, even if they are veterans, I will not
Can't guarantee it.
If they don't rush... it means that the Vietnamese army can let go of their courage to shoot at us on the other side of the minefield, then the end of this battle can be imagined.
Go home just now?
That's even more impossible. Not to mention that this will affect the morale of the soldiers, the superiors will not allow us to do this! They will definitely say: "Where are no ones who can't die in war? If everyone sees danger, there is no need to do it.
If you are in trouble, you can even fuck you!”
However, the reality is... it is only one and a half hours before the scheduled war start time, but it takes seven hours to clear mines.
"Can you use a mortar?" I said.
The advantage of a mortar is that... there are basically no dead corners. Its ballistics are parabolas with a high curvature. As long as the gunner hits accurately, even a trench can hit directly. And we now have a battalion of mortar companies, which is not correct at this time.
Is it easy to use?
Commander Luo raised his telescope and looked at it, then quickly shook his head again: "The bounce surface is too small, I'm afraid it won't play much role!"
I raised my telescope and looked carefully, and then I realized what Captain Luo was talking about. The high ground faced with our mountain ridge is as sharp as a blade. From this direction, I could only see a small piece of the minefield...
...In other words, the target of the mortar is only a little big. Unless the gunners in the mortar company are all divine gunners who are shot every now and then, it is basically impossible to cover that area with artillery fire...
So Company Commander Luo and I fell into Jiaozuo again. We didn't expect that... this was the first battle to attack Sabah, which put us in a dilemma. (To be continued.
