As the Vietnamese tanks rushed into the canyon one after another and were blown up by us, the doubts in my heart became more and more serious.
This batch of Vietnamese troops sent up one after another are all American light tanks. To be honest, this kind of tank is not suitable for attacking dangerous places like canyons, for no other reason... This kind of tank is too fragile, and its armor can be easily destroyed by rocket launchers. Its breakdown, even if a few more grenades are thrown under its chassis, can blow it up (its chassis armor is only nine millimeters thick).
At this time, I couldn't help but regret detonating the pre-arranged directional explosives too early. It's just that I was not familiar with the model and performance of tanks. Otherwise, if I had known in advance that these guys could be eliminated with grenades, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to use a lot of them. Use explosives to deal with it.
However, those directional explosives still played a big role. Not only were the tanks blown up one by one, but the results were also very significant in dealing with the Vietnamese infantry.
Every time the infantry of the Vietnamese army wanted to follow the tanks and attack the second half of our army's position... Well, as long as a directional explosive was detonated and a "boom" was heard, the rubble falling from the sky would knock down more than half of them. Even if the remaining half didn't die, they would only have half a life... No one could be left intact under the blast of that rubble.
Therefore, it is simply impossible for the Vietnamese army to cooperate with infantry and tanks. This also allows our rocket launcher shooters to easily get close to the Vietnamese tanks and kill them one by one.
So... although this battle only lasted for more than half an hour, there were seven or eight tank wrecks and hundreds of corpses of Vietnamese soldiers in the canyon. Suddenly, the entire canyon was filled with the smell of blood, gasoline and burnt stench. , Fortunately, the wind in this canyon is relatively strong, otherwise those of us hiding inside would be afraid that Xun would be killed by the smoke.
Because of this battle, I have used up very little of the directional explosives I deployed. However, I am not very worried. The reason is that there are already about ten tanks blocking the path in the canyon... ...So I think, even if the Vietnamese army pulls the T62 up at this time, they may not be able to pass smoothly.
"Second Platoon Commander, how is the situation?" Company Commander Luo asked on the walkie-talkie.
"Everything is normal!" I replied: "The Yue Japanese used tanks to launch a fierce attack on the canyon, but we defeated them!"
"Good fight!" Captain Luo replied: "The Yue Jap also launched an attack on the high ground, and the attack was very fierce. It seems that the Yue Jap is making its final death struggle. You must defend the canyon and must not let it go. One soldier of the Vietnamese army passed through, is the mission clear?"
"Clear!"
In fact, Captain Luo doesn’t need to tell me about the importance of this canyon. What’s strange to me is... from the previous battles. I can also feel that the Vietnamese commander is a smart man, but I don’t know why... now he But he would do something stupid like this: barge in with a bunch of light tanks and block his own road.
"Hey! What else is the company commander worried about?" After I hung up the walkie-talkie, Wu Zhijun said next to him: "If he knew that the canyon was full of bombed tanks, I'm afraid he should have released 120 That’s ten hearts!”
Wu Zhijun had been doing logistics work before, but in this battle, he led his soldiers to kill five tanks in one go, so it was inevitable that he was a little excited when he spoke.
"That's right!" The scholar stretched his head and looked at the burning tanks below. He nodded and said, "Look at this posture, even if we let go and let the Japanese in... I'm afraid they will have to spend a lot of time.
Just spend less time! I didn’t expect the Japanese tanks to be so easy to fight..."
But I am not as optimistic as the soldiers. The reason is that I believe that the commander of the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army will not be so stupid. It is more likely that even I do not know what he is planning.
The ensuing battle soon proved that my worries were justified.
While the soldiers were still excitedly discussing the battle just now, there was another roar at the mouth of the valley, and a new round of shelling by the Vietnamese army began again.
The only difference from last time is that this time there were several smoke bombs coming in along with the Vietnamese artillery shells...
"Gas bomb!" I heard a soldier scream, and this sentence quickly caused panic among the soldiers.
"It's not a gas bomb!" I said, "It's a smoke bomb! Comrades, prepare your gas masks!"
The reason why I was so quick to confirm that this was not a gas bomb was not because I thought the Vietnamese would abide by some convention and not use prohibited gas bombs, but because the wind direction in the canyon was blowing from the south to the north... If the Vietnamese had fired this
It was a poison gas bomb, and all the poison gas was blown to them in the next second.
So I quickly had another question. Since the Vietnamese knew that the wind was blowing in their direction, why did they use the smoke bomb? The smoke would also blow back, wouldn't it?
Then it turned out just as I expected, because our army was at a corner, and the wind was facing the Vietnamese army... so the smoke bombs could only affect us in a very limited way, and most of them were blown towards the front half.
, and soon the first half of the canyon was covered in white smoke and nothing could be seen.
However, even so, Yuejiazi's shells still exploded one after another, and the smoke bombs continued to fire one after another...
It's obvious... Yue Japzi is hiding something.
Smoke bombs can make us invisible, and the explosion of artillery shells can make us inaudible. But what are they hiding? I am puzzled by this.
After listening carefully to the sound of artillery for a while, I found that there seemed to be some tank motor sounds in the gaps between the artillery shells... Could it be that the Vietnamese army sent T62 up again?
This is indeed possible. A dozen smoke bombs can make us invisible, but this will not affect the T62's sight. After all, it has night vision devices, right?
But this seems unreasonable, because we can basically say that we have given up on the first half, and the Vietnamese army can drive up the T62 without having to do this.
The most important thing is... I don't believe that there are ten tanks blocked in the canyon. How can the T62 drive through it?
I wanted to step forward several times to see what was going on, but I knew that doing so would be in vain.
One is because the Vietnamese army's large-caliber artillery is constantly firing at the corner, which makes the corner a dangerous area where flying rocks and shrapnel are raging. Anyone approaching there will only die.
The other reason is because I know that even if I pass by, I won't be able to see anything, because there will definitely be a cloud of smoke.
So I could only wait in the second half, wait... I don't know what we are waiting for, but I know that this may be the last blow of the Vietnamese army.
The Vietnamese Japanese seemed to be engaging in a fierce confrontation: if we win, the Vietnamese army will completely wipe out our army and rush out of the canyon; if we lose, the signature of the ace unit of the Vietnamese Army's 316a Division will be destroyed in our hands.
So I also know that this blow will definitely not be that easy to deal with.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any movement from the Vietnamese army, but the sound of the tank's motor was getting clearer and clearer on the other side. I couldn't help but frown... What were the Vietnamese tanks doing? It didn't look like they were here to fight.
, but they are building roads.
What? Road construction...
I couldn't help but be stunned when I thought of this... That's right! The Vietnamese tanks were not coming to fight, but to build roads.
What kind of road should be built?
Of course it's this trail in the canyon.
Isn't the trail blocked by tanks? No matter how much repairs are made, it won't be possible to get through, right?
The trail was blocked, but the creek next to it was not.
Because the river was blocked, it had turned into a one-meter-deep ditch. If the Vietnamese army could block this ditch... it could become another trail through the canyon.
Damn it, why didn’t I think of this!
All the actions Yue Guizi made before were probably in preparation for this trail.
The first is to prepare artillery fire to cover the attack of light tanks. The purpose of these light tanks' attack...the purpose is not to break through our army's defense line, but to consume mines and other explosive devices arranged by our army in the canyon.
Obviously, they achieved their strategic goal, because there were only a few anti-infantry bombs left among the directional explosives I deployed.
The next step is to use gunfire and smoke bombs to hide the operation of engineering vehicles. As for why the Vietnamese have engineering vehicles... In fact, troops generally have engineering vehicles, especially artillery troops. The reason is that artillery troops often need to quickly open up artillery positions.
……want
We know that Vietnam is a country with many mountains and forests. If a war breaks out, the artillery will deploy quickly to provide fire support to the frontline troops, but they will have to use hoes or hatchets to deal with uneven mounds or dense forests... I'm afraid
The battle was over and the artillery positions had not yet been prepared.
Therefore, engineering vehicles are an indispensable tool for artillery.
Of course, the engineering vehicles used in the army are not like the bulldozers, cranes, etc. we usually see... Although these things can also complete the task, it would be dangerous if the enemy scouts find them and fire a few shots or fire a mortar.
It can no longer be used.
In order to make the engineering vehicle have combat capabilities and play a role in supporting the project, someone suddenly designed a multi-functional tank. This kind of tank can usually participate in battles like an ordinary tank, and can be used when needed.
The bulldozer can be turned into a bulldozer, equipped with submersible crossing equipment to cross rivers, and can even be used as a crane, build a pontoon bridge, etc.
Obviously, this kind of engineering vehicle is currently operating in the first half of the canyon, and I believe it also has night vision capabilities because it works under smoke bombs.
Later I found out that it was actually the M60 tank captured by the Vietnamese army from the Yankees. It had an M24 active infrared periscope and could drive or work at night.
From this point of view, the equipment of the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army is quite good. It has all the Soviet-style equipment and American-style equipment that Vietnam can get. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
