With a burst of cheers, our soldiers in the canyon once again took the initiative.
The falling of the Vietnamese tanks into the water caused the Vietnamese infantry following them to lose their cover, and the Vietnamese troops were exposed to our guns like targets.
The soldiers had had enough of the bullying from this gang of Japanese soldiers before, and they had already held their breath in their hearts. Now they found an opportunity to be polite to them, and immediately fired rows of bullets at them, only to hit them.
The Vietnamese army screamed like ghosts and wolves.
Wu Zhijun and I were not idle either, dropping incendiary bombs one by one. Of course, our main targets were the infantry in front and behind the tanks.
Incendiary bombs do little harm to tanks, so we are not willing to waste these scarce bombs on tanks. After all, we still have to plan for the subsequent battle and throw incendiary bombs in one go.
If it's finished, what about a few more T62s?
The incendiary bomb can be said to have played a decisive role at this time.
First of all, the T62 lost its night vision capability due to incendiary bombs, even the T62 that served as fire cover outside the canyon was no exception...
Some people may say, isn't the T62 at the entrance of the valley in the open? Why does it need night vision capabilities?
The T62 was in the bright light, but our soldiers were in the dark canyon. The reason why it could accurately find the target relied on its night vision ability. But at this moment, it was exploded by our incendiary bomb... In his night
I'm afraid it's just a bright red patch on the monitor.
As a result, the two T62s that were originally arrogant were like two fools doing nothing, especially the tank in the canyon. Go forward...you can't see it. Go back, and the back is all yours.
infantry……
Another benefit is that these incendiary bombs expose the enemy to the light of fire.
Because the T62 has night vision capabilities, originally the Vietnamese army could see us, but we could only see some vague figures. However, after the incendiary bomb exploded, the situation was completely reversed. In the light of the fire
Under the illumination, the Vietnamese army and the T62 were as obvious as lice on a bald man's head.
Under the double blow of rain-like bullets and incendiary bombs, the Vietnamese troops in the canyon quickly became chaotic, bullets poured towards them in pieces, and flames exploded among them...
Looking down from above, the canyon is like a purgatory, filled with hellfire and the screams of evil spirits.
Of course, some of the Japs were smarter. They jumped into the river to escape at the first opportunity... It should be said that this did have a greater chance of survival. After all, it was much easier to avoid incendiary bombs in the river.
, It's a pity that the river is only more than one meter deep. AK47 bullets can completely penetrate the river water and cause damage to the Vietnamese troops lurking in it. So after a burst of bullets... the river floated corpses one after another.
Go downstream.
Then something unexpected happened.
The T62 trapped in the canyon suddenly turned on its headlights, then increased its power and rushed forward...
I soon realized what had happened. The T62 had turned off its infrared night vision and relied on the ordinary periscope to move forward.
It should be said that this is the best choice. Whether it is a night vision device or a periscope, as long as it can see the road clearly, and it is now trapped in a dilemma in this canyon, it might as well rush forward...
Maybe we can break through our army's defense and escape with the excellent performance and protective power of the tank.
It should be said that this possibility is very high. After all, our army's defense zone is only a few hundred meters in front and back, and the off-road speed of T62 can reach 30 kilometers per hour. In other words, this T62 only has enough horsepower.
It takes less than a minute to rush through the defense of our army on the other side of the canyon and re-enter the Vietnamese controlled area to escape.
If it is just for escape, then I'm not too worried. What I'm more worried about is... this tank with superior performance may cause a lot of trouble to our army's tank troops on the other side, making it difficult for our army to take care of both ends.
.
However, at this time, I had no way to stop the tank from moving forward, because it used a periscope... The more primitive things in this world are, the less vulnerable they are. For example, now... if I throw incendiary bombs in front of it, then
It seems to light the way for it.
If... I could use an incendiary bomb to light its periscope, that might be feasible. After all, if the periscope is full of fire, I can't see the road. But the problem is that I don't know where the tank's periscope is at all... only after the fact.
I know, even if I knew it, it would be difficult to hit, because its periscope only occupies a very small area on the front of the car. If you want to hit accurately...especially the periscope of a tank that is driving forward with full horsepower,
I'm afraid I'll have to practice for another ten or eight years.
Seeing T62 turning a corner along the canyon and about to escape from the canyon, there was another roar of the motor from the other end.
Wu Zhijun and I ran a few steps forward in confusion and took a look, and couldn't help but be stunned... On the other side of the canyon, a Type 59 medium tank of our army was approaching from the mouth of the canyon, also moving at full speed.
This sudden situation obviously left both sides with no time to react. The Vietnamese tanks did not expect that such a Cheng Yaojin would appear in this area. However, our tanks obviously made the temporary decision to use tanks because they found that the Vietnamese tanks were about to rush through the canyon.
came to stop them, so both sides didn't have time to reload and launch... So the two steel behemoths collided with each other.
"Kang..." The sound of steel colliding continued to echo in the canyon, and at that moment it even drowned out the sounds of gunshots and explosions.
Although the T62 has better performance than our army's 59 Medium in all aspects, it is a medium tank like the 59 Medium. Although the T62 is one ton heavier than the 59 Medium... but the weight of one ton is only a very small part for a tank.
share, so the T62 did not take advantage at all. The two tanks suddenly became unresponsive at that moment...
I think this is because all the tank crews in the tank were knocked unconscious. From this point of view, the tanks in our army 59 are really ruthless... They knew what would happen if they collided with each other like this, but they still had no hesitation.
The tank was driven up.
After a while, the Vietnamese army's T62 seemed to react. The turret turned a few times as if it wanted to aim at the 59 Center that was blocking him... It was a pity that the long barrel was blocked by the 59 Center's turret.
It's stuck and I can't turn it around.
Not long after, a ball of fire exploded behind the turret of the T62... It was an explosive package detonated by our soldiers. For a T62 that can neither move nor rotate the turret, no matter how advanced the system is,
It's all for nothing, it's no different than a pile of scrap metal.
Soon, the Vietnamese army's offensive retreated.
There is no point in retreating. The attack has no meaning except increasing casualties... The canyon has been blocked by two tanks. Even if the Vietnamese army has more T62s, it will be difficult for them to be effective unless they have the courage to fight against our army.
The infantrymen came in and pushed the two tanks away under their noses.
Then, after our soldiers rescued several tank crews from the crashed 59 rifle, a burst of cheers broke out on the battlefield of our army... We won the battle again. Although we also paid a lot of casualties, we still
The Vietnamese army was firmly blocked from the pass.
This time there was no continuous attack like before. After all, their real plan to attack the east and west had completely failed. There was even no possibility of breaking through the canyon because two tanks were stuck at the mouth of the canyon... So they should also think
Thinking about what to do next.
This finally gave us a rare opportunity to switch defenses. The substitute soldiers went up one team at a time, and we also walked down the high ground one by one...
The regiment leader and political commissar personally led the troops to greet us at the base of the high ground. As soon as we came down, the regiment leader and political commissar rushed to greet us and shake hands with us.
The surrounding soldiers also shouted:
"Good job, comrades!"
"Well played!"
"The second company is great!"
…
If these words were normal times... they might just be a few simple greetings, but at this moment, they are engraved in our hearts every word. We all know that these words... represent the soldiers' love for us.
Respect and recognition also represent sympathy for the fallen soldiers.
Because all of this... was obtained by the soldiers with their blood and lives.
The last person to walk off the battlefield was Scar's platoon. The reason why they were replaced last was because the terrain in the canyon was complex and difficult to climb, and the other was because the positions were scattered. Scar and others had to move one
Point out each position to the defending troops, and explain some points that should be paid attention to.
So, until we were all sitting in the middle area eating food and drinking water, Scar and his team climbed out of the canyon one after another. The reason why they climbed... was because the mouth of the canyon had been blocked by tanks.
What shocked me and the soldiers was that there were only eleven people in one row who came out, and all of them were injured. You know, there were originally more than thirty people in one row, but in this battle,
Two-thirds of them were killed or injured!
The soldiers quickly put down the food in their hands and rushed forward, followed by health workers carrying a stretcher...
The bombing force of the Japanese tanks was quite powerful. More importantly, the two walls of the canyon were full of rocks. Not only would the exploded gravel become shrapnel, but it would also cause the gravel and shrapnel to be ejected between the two walls...
This will undoubtedly increase the lethality of the artillery shells exponentially, so it is not surprising that there are such heavy casualties in a row.
However, fortunately, we still blocked the enemy's attack, and the final victory still belongs to us. (To be continued.)
