Because there were leading Vietnamese soldiers in front and there was a battle, the main force of the Vietnamese army was not wary at all. Groups of troops lined up in dense formations and rushed forward along the road...
The walkie-talkie in my ear kept coming from the low-pitched report of the observation post: "The number of people has increased to one company, one reinforced company, two companies...most of them are migrant workers carrying ammunition, and the total number is about 300 people."
…”
I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this number. Although I had prepared in advance, the number of three hundred people still made me a little bit overwhelmed. You must know that the number of troops we ambushed in this area is only more than a hundred people, and these 10,000 people are not enough to eat in one bite.
What should I do if I choke instead?
But this time, it was useless to think of anything. As the saying goes, "the arrow must be fired when it is on the string." Now, even if you know you will choke, you still have to swallow it.
Moreover, the Vietnamese army's team seemed a bit too long. I looked at the section of road that was blocked by us... The leader of the team was almost out of our encirclement, but the tail of the team had not yet appeared.
Is this to be the leader of the team or the tail of the team?
Most of the migrant workers at the end of the team are carrying ammunition. If I were to attack the leader...then there is no doubt that I will attack the enemy's main force more effectively, but the migrant workers carrying ammunition at the end of the team may scatter and escape. This is undoubtedly a problem in terms of ammunition.
A loss.
If we are attacking at the end of the group, then coupled with the sharp knives of the Vietnamese army... I am afraid that there will be too many Vietnamese troops released in the encirclement, and we will not be able to control them at all.
So after thinking about it for a while, I thought it would be more appropriate to be the team leader.
It's the lesser of two evils. After all, those migrant workers carrying ammunition on their backs don't have much combat effectiveness, and our ammunition can also be replenished from the sacrificed Vietnamese troops. On the other hand, I have to rush back to support Highland 237. No.
It is suitable to let the Vietnamese army at the head of the team pass...
The next second I knew that the third battalion commander had the same idea as me, because he gave the order to start the fight before the leader of the team even walked out of the encirclement.
The first thing that sounded was the directional mines buried at the exit of the ambush circle... These mines were left to us by the 5th Engineer Company. The difference between them and ordinary mines is that they are detonated under human control.
The reason why this kind of landmine is used... One reason is that the Japanese army has elite soldiers. If ordinary landmines were buried, our ambush circle would be exposed immediately. The other reason is that its explosive power is very powerful. Every one of these mines
The mines contain steel balls used to kill infantry... Once exploded, the steel balls will fly to the surrounding area for more than ten meters...
As a result, the Yue Japanese were in dire straits. I could clearly see that a large piece of the Yue Japanese at the head of the row fell down after just one blast.
But this was just an opening. This explosion gave other troops an order to start fighting...
Some people may say, if we all have walkie-talkies to communicate with each other, why should the explosion of this directional mine be used as a signal to start a war?
This is actually related to the coordination between the various troops. You must know... If the communication is through a walkie-talkie, first of all, not to mention whether the sound of gunfire and explosions will affect the quality of the call, the commanders on the highlands will still hear the order when they hear the order.
It takes time to convey the order, and the process will inevitably be faster or slower, which will lead to inconsistent start times.
The inconsistent start time may not seem like a big deal to others. It's only a difference of one or two seconds at most, isn't it? But it is crucial on the battlefield. The reason is that the momentum of starting the fight at the same time...maybe it will happen in the first place.
Let the Vietnamese lose the will to resist.
It's like playing a scary game. If you are suddenly startled without any psychological preparation... this surprise is the most frightening, but if you divide this sharp startle into several parts, one
If one is on it, then you will feel that it is not a big deal.
The momentum on the battlefield was also like this. At this time, the Yue Japanese were also unprepared. What we wanted to give them was a lightning-fast surprise... So, almost at the same time as the first directional mine exploded, we
Directional mines buried in the road were fired one after another.
There are probably seven or eight mines in total... I didn't participate in the mine-laying operation, so I don't know exactly how many mines there are. The function of these mines is not only to kill a large number of enemies, but also to destroy enemies with their almost simultaneous explosions.
The Japanese were stunned... So even though the Japanese were well-trained, they were panicked and confused under this sudden attack.
The next thing that sounded was the various weapons in the hands of the soldiers...
The quality of the Yue Japanese was pretty good. They quickly judged from the gunfire around them that they had been surrounded, so they quickly lay down on the ground to organize their defense.
But all this seems to be in vain... Our army's firepower is distributed on the three surrounding highlands. It can be said that there are cross fires between each other, and it is only more than a hundred meters away from the Vietnamese army. This fight came out
The bullets were so dense and accurate that even if the Vietnamese were lying on the ground, they couldn't escape our bullets. So just a hail of bullets hit the Vietnamese in the middle with heavy casualties.
The weakness of our army is the lack of ammunition. When there is insufficient ammunition, the most taboo thing is to shoot out all the bullets at once... This will directly cause the situation to be urgent and you want to shoot, but you can only wait because there is no bullets.
die.
Therefore, as soon as the charge horn sounded...the soldiers from various highlands jumped out of their hiding places with a loud shout and went towards the Vietnamese army to kill them.
Lo and behold, the Charge came into play again at this time, allowing the warriors from various highlands to coordinate. Although this thing is quite backward, it is still very convenient to use sometimes.
At this time, I had just fired two bullets in a hurry and had to install a spur on my rifle and rush up with the soldiers... Why should we rush together? Not to mention that our location does not have much height, and the enemy and we are very close.
We are about to enter a melee fight, right? Then it will be difficult for my sniper rifle to be effective. If I don't charge now, how long will it take?
Of course, we won't just rush to the end like this... The moment we jumped out of the hiding place, we each held a grenade with the safety cover opened in advance... These were all agreed with the soldiers in advance.
Each step is even so detailed that it is modularized, that is, before the war begins, it is decided what to do when and what to do when hearing a sound.
This tactic may be too rigid for veterans. After all, veterans who have fought on the battlefield and are well-trained know what they should do, and they have good tacit understanding and coordination with their comrades. So if their
Offensive modularity will limit their combat effectiveness.
But we are not...most of our soldiers are new recruits. Even if they have fought, they have only fought in more than a dozen battles. When it comes to being well-trained, it is even less. So...modularization is important to us.
Very practical, this allows all soldiers to know what they should do in unison.
For example: when you see the directional mine at the head of the team exploding, start fighting; when you hear the charge, charge and prepare grenades; when you hear the whistle, throw away the grenade and lie down...
These seem to be orders one after another, and the soldiers only need to follow these orders, so this makes up for the coordination problems of the soldiers due to lack of training to a large extent.
For example, right now, as soon as Captain Luo blew his whistle, the soldiers spontaneously fired up the prepared grenades and threw them out... There are more than forty people in our company, and each of them is lined up with a grenade.
Throwing it towards the middle of the road...it only scared the Vietnamese soldiers who had not yet reacted to the thunder and shouted in panic...
But shouting is useless, the grenade will not explode because of their shouts... The next second, the grenade explodes into a wall on the road, a wall made of smoke and blood.
"kill!"
There is no need to say more about what to do next. The soldiers took advantage of the aftermath of the grenade explosion and rushed forward with bayonets in their hands. They didn’t care whether those lying on the ground were dead or alive, just stabbed them randomly with bayonets...
In fact, at this time we did not even
There was no way to tell whether those Vietnamese soldiers were dead or alive. First, it was difficult to tell because the Vietnamese soldiers were lying on the ground at this time. Second, because the smoke from the grenades had not faded. Third, because... this bayonet did not consume ammunition anyway, so it was difficult to tell.
It only takes a little effort to prick it a few times.
As a result, the road quickly turned into a bloody road paved with corpses. The Vietnamese army almost didn't have time to react when they were hit by a series of blows from our army and suffered a devastating blow. They didn't even have time to surrender.
…
But having said that, we are using one company to fight two companies of Yue Japs, and the ammunition is not as much as that of Yue Japs, and the quality is not as good as that of Yue Japs. If we don’t take advantage of the Yue Japs when they fall into the water, we will kill them...
…Once they take a breather, we will be the ones who suffer.
Therefore, the purpose of this battle is not to take prisoners, but to eradicate the roots.
The battle quickly ended after more than ten minutes. Only then did I realize that with our army fully deployed... it was still very easy to kill two companies of Yue Japanese, that is, one person could kill two enemies.
, all the Japanese Japs are stretched out their necks without the ability to resist, waiting for us to kill them, which is not easy to capture.
Cheers soon sounded among the team, but this was not the time to celebrate victory...
The third battalion commander quickly issued an order: "Second Company, replenish ammunition and immediately reinforce 237 Highlands. Eighth and Ninth Companies will quickly clean up the battlefield!"
"Yes!" Captain Luo responded, and he led his soldiers to pick up a few magazines from the ground and ran towards Highland 237.
I think the reason why our company is asked to support Highland 237 is because the commander of the third battalion knows that our company has the strongest combat effectiveness. Good steel is used on the blade. Highland 237 is related to our army's retreat. Of course, the commander of the third battalion will not do it again.
