There was still no movement on the slope. Only the mountain wind blew some burned weeds to ashes and floated in front of us like snowflakes. They were caused by the incendiary bombs fired by the Vietnamese army... There was originally a lot of thatch on the slope, but
It was reduced to ashes because of the incendiary bombs fired by the Vietnamese army.
Two minutes passed.
There was still no sign of Vietnamese army activity. At this time, I couldn't help but become a little anxious, because for the Vietnamese army, the longer it takes, the more likely they are to discover the flaws in our army's feint attack. After all, the Vietnamese army is always fighting.
Those with experience will soon find out over time that there is no pressure at all, and then they will notify the Vietnamese troops in the tunnel via radio...
If this is the case, then our drama will be in vain and our army's offensive will be hindered.
Why is it said to be blocked? Those Vietnamese troops hiding in the tunnels are like time bombs to us. As long as they are not eliminated by us, the main force of our army will not dare to attack Highland 278 and Highland 332 with all its strength.
So, the problem we have to face is...it must take a few days to clear the tunnels at Highland 119.7 one by one before we can launch another attack.
Perhaps, our army will eventually win, but the Vietnamese army can hold our army back for several days with just a 119.7 highland... In fact, it is a victory for them.
Three minutes passed.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or some other reason, but I feel that the Vietnamese army’s firepower seems to be much smaller... Maybe they sense something is wrong...
I hope that the Vietnamese soldiers will not inform the Vietnamese troops in the tunnels of this suspicion in time. I can only comfort myself in this way.
On the other hand, I was also prepared to be discovered by the Vietnamese army.
However, at this moment... I smelled some earthy dust in the wind blowing in front of me...
So I couldn't help but feel happy, knowing that the moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived.
This slope is covered with a layer of grass ash, so usually only the grass ash is carried away by the mountain wind, unless... someone digs out this layer of ash.
Then who dug up this layer of grass ash? Of course it was those Yue Jies hiding in the tunnels!
So I gave the order: "Pass the order on and get ready for battle!"
"Get ready for battle!"
"Get ready for battle!"
…
The orders were quickly passed down one after another.
Sure enough, after a while, a black shadow appeared in the darkness... But I didn't fire. Neither did any of my soldiers.
Just kidding, if a bullet passes by at this time, the Vietnamese will soon realize that we are prepared, so it would be strange if they don't retreat into the tunnel.
This black figure seemed to have come out to watch the wind. He lay on the ground and looked at the position on the top of the mountain with a telescope, and then waved behind him... In the next second, there were more and more Japanese soldiers, as if they were coming out of the ground.
(Actually, they really came out of the ground).
It should be said that these Japs moved very quickly, and their tunnel entrances were also distributed very reasonably. They were twenty or thirty meters apart from each other, which was just enough distance for a squad of troops to deploy... So in the blink of an eye, the slope was
More than a hundred Vietnamese troops appeared...
We still didn't shoot. As the saying goes, we acted in full. Our purpose was to catch the big fish in the long run. We wanted to let this group of Vietnamese troops successfully sneak attack our army, and we wanted to let them successfully achieve "victory"...
Therefore, it is not appropriate to "discover" the Japanese at this time.
Of course, I know very well that there is a risk in doing this, because we only have one platoon on the top of the mountain, while the Vietnamese army has one company... In other words, as long as we are not careful, it is really possible to fake it.
If the drama really works, the Vietnamese will eat up our platoon.
The Japs were getting closer and closer, and they were charging faster and faster... When we were six to seventy meters away from our defense line, I didn't dare to wait any longer. Because I knew... the Japs would throw their weapons at our position any closer.
I fired a piece of grenade, and then I took advantage of the residual power of the grenade to charge towards our army's position... At that time, I was afraid that the battle situation would be beyond my control.
So I pretended to have just discovered it and shouted to the Vietnamese soldiers: "The Vietnamese...the Japanese are coming! Hurry...organize a defense!"
I believe that the Vietnamese army will understand what I am saying, because many people in the Vietnamese army can speak Chinese, especially the Vietnamese officers. So I don’t have to bother to translate into Vietnamese... However, if I use Vietnamese
If you scream, it will only appear to be unnecessary, and it will also make the Japanese Japanese suspicious...
After waiting for a while, I shouted to the soldiers: "Hit!"
Then the weapons in the hands of the soldiers rang out...their soldiers under my command were either AK47 or Type 56 machine guns, and they also had rocket launchers...so the firepower was quite good. It can be said that they were on par with the Vietnamese army.
On one level, but the problem is that our platoon is scattered on this 119.7 highland... This highland was originally enough for two companies to garrison, but now there is only one platoon, so the firepower is obviously a bit sparse...
Seeing the level of firepower of our army, he became even more energetic when fighting against the Japanese. When he was full of energy, he shouted and charged forward with his gun in hand.
When the Japanese soldiers came closer, I shouted to the soldiers: "Grenade!"
This was also planned before we started the fight. The soldiers had already unscrewed the safety covers of the grenades and put them within easy reach. So I gave the order and the soldiers fired two or three grenades one after another.
Throw your breath downwards towards the position...
Why throw away grenades? Hand grenades are indispensable if you want to break contact with the enemy.
Firstly, it is because the grenade is more powerful. Secondly, it has a delay... If the enemy does not lie on the ground and wait for the grenade to explode before charging... he will basically die. So this is
We have a little time, although it is not a lot of time...but it is enough for us to evacuate the position on the top of the mountain.
Then, before the grenade exploded, I gave the order to retreat.
Of course, this was also agreed in advance. The order I gave the soldiers was: "After throwing the grenade, don't worry about anything and retreat immediately!"
So there was no need for me to give orders now. The soldiers threw a few grenades as quickly as possible and turned around and left...
Here's the advantage of being condescending... We don't have to worry about the shrapnel from those grenades accidentally injuring us, because the trenches on the top of the mountain are blocking us behind!
After the explosion of grenades behind us, the soldiers and I had already crossed the top of the mountain and ran down like crazy...
The Japs were also very fast. Before we could run very far, they had already rushed to the top of the mountain. Then they picked up their guns and were about to shoot at us... However, what they didn't expect was... Dao Scar and Liang Lian.
Two platoons of soldiers had been waiting for them in the fortifications for a long time, so after a few gunshots were fired, the Vietnamese who popped up and tried to shoot at us fell to the ground one by one.
The next Vietnamese army did not dare to be careless. They all lay down on the top of the mountain and set up their guns... However, they were unable to deploy their troops for a while, and the first and third platoons of Scar and Liang Company soldiers had already been building fortifications on the reverse slope.
The guns were set up and ready, and with Captain Luo's order... thousands of guns were fired, and dense bullets flew towards the Vietnamese Japanese in sheets like raindrops...
Of course, fire cover is usually very fierce once it hits, and it will hit a breaking point after a while, because the bullets will run out... It's okay for machine guns to use bullet belts, but the ak47 has only thirty rounds of bullets.
If you hold the trigger firmly for a few seconds, you will be out of ammunition.
If they are experienced veterans...then they will choose to cooperate with each other in changing magazines. For example, one row of bullets will fire slower, leaving some bullets to increase the firepower in the gap between changing magazines in another row, and wait for the other party to change magazines.
You can change the magazine yourself... This is a bit like the method used by the Yankees. In fact, the Yankees just institutionalize their battlefield experience and use it as training materials, so that new recruits can also do this.
However, most of our company are new recruits, and they have not received training like that of the US military. Of course, they do not know how to cooperate in fire suppression. Therefore, the AK47s in the hands of the soldiers all finished their bullets at about the same time.
So the fire suppression at this time inevitably had a breaking point...
The Vietnamese army were all veterans who had fought in the war. How could they not know how to seize this opportunity, so they showed up with guns in hand in a tacit understanding. But when they were about to shoot... they discovered
The target has disappeared from their sight...
Although the fire cover time of the first and third rows was not long, it was still enough for us to run into the fortifications on the reverse slope and hide in the cat's ear holes, and it was not just us... the soldiers of the first and third rows also put away their weapons.
He grabbed his gun and hid in the cat's ear hole, and everyone seemed to have disappeared on this battlefield.
If this were normal times, we would be seeking death by doing this... We would still hide in the Maoer Cave when the enemy was in front of us. Then all the enemy had to do was rush forward and throw a row of grenades at our trench.
Problem solved.
So the Yue Japanese on the top of the mountain are also wondering, not understanding what we are doing...
If... I mean if, if the Vietnamese realize that they have been tricked and immediately withdraw from the position on the top of the mountain, then they may still have a glimmer of hope.
but……
The Yue Japs do have combat experience, but they may not necessarily have a smart commander. In other words... it is precisely because the Yue Japs have combat experience that they think highly of themselves, so they look down on us.
In addition, they had successfully retaken the position on the top of the mountain just now. Under the impact of this victory, how could they realize that this was a trap set by our army.
As a result, their chance of escape was gone...
Just when the Vietnamese army was in a daze on the top of the mountain... there was a sound of artillery at the foot of the mountain. (To be continued.)
