For the sake of safety, Captain Luo dropped one squad in front of the team and left as usual, while our main force spent some time on the battlefield replenishing medicine. In the end.
Some people may say that the battle situation is so urgent at this time, and it can even be said to be related to the life and death of the entire army... Why are we still wasting time like this because we are worried about casualties?
It is true that the war situation is urgent. Once the Vietnamese army controls Highland 237 and blocks our army's retreat...then our army seems to have no choice but to wait here for the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army to come up and deal with us one by one.
However, things are often like this...the more impatient you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the more mistakes you make, the more time will be wasted. So...it is often necessary to stay calm at this time, and to proceed in an orderly manner according to the steps.
From this point of view, Captain Luo is a commander who can keep his composure. To be honest, there are very few cadres like him among the grassroots cadres of our army at this time. Of course, I believe that Scar
We can do this, and I think this is why our company's combat effectiveness is stronger than others... Our company's company commander and platoon commander are all just figures, so it makes no sense that they are not strong.
Facts also proved that Captain Luo was right. Not long after we walked along the road, we heard a report from the front soldiers fighting with the Vietnamese army: "The Vietnamese army has one squad, occupying favorable terrain to block the road... We sacrificed our lives
Three comrades were killed and two were injured..."
This casualty is still acceptable. It is conceivable that if our main force swarmed up, there would be more than just five casualties.
Some people may think...Why don't the Vietnamese soldiers just let our top soldiers go and fight like us? The reason is that the Vietnamese army has too few troops and cannot afford to play this trick.
Just imagine, the troops they used to block our army only had a squad of a dozen or so people. Their mission was to prevent our army from passing the highway to reinforce the 237 Highlands, or it could also be said to buy time for the Vietnamese army in the 237 Highlands... If they put
If the top soldiers of our army are let go, we will face two problems:
First, if this group of leading soldiers fights back, it will form a pincer attack with our main force, and the dozen or so Vietnamese soldiers can be wiped out in two and a half seconds.
Secondly, if our leading soldiers do not go back and directly reinforce the 237 Highlands, they will also hit the Vietnamese army in the back. They can even cooperate with the defenders of the 237 Highlands to attack the Vietnamese army.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army did not dare to let anyone pass, and they could only choose to fight.
As soon as Captain Luo heard this, he immediately waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone is here, speed up!"
"Yes!" the soldiers responded and ran forward along the road as fast as they could.
After turning a few corners along the road, the sound of gunfire became clearer. At the corner ahead, there were several soldiers from our army hiding in the ditch on the roadside fighting the Vietnamese army.
The situation on the battlefield was obviously unfavorable to our army. The position chosen by the Vietnamese army was a protrusion at the foot of a mountain. A road several hundred meters long pointed directly at this protrusion, and then made a 180-degree turn around it...
...So there is no doubt that if our army wants to pass here, it must destroy the Vietnamese army above it.
However... not to mention the fact that the Vietnamese army was condescending, the few mulberry trees and rocks growing on the protrusion also served as a good cover for the Vietnamese army, while the only place our army could hide was a small ditch half a man high.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but frown... In such terrain, our army cannot deploy at all, and it is impossible to take advantage of the large number of troops. If our army charges hard... I am afraid that it will suffer considerable casualties and it will take a while.
Only time can do it.
But the problem is that we simply don’t have time…
"Spread out, spread out!" Time waits for no one. Captain Luo waved to us and led the soldiers into the battle.
It should be said... This is when the sniper rifle in my hand comes into play, but the problem is that there is no hiding place at all along the way... There is indeed a dense forest on the left side of the road that can go around to the Vietnamese army's position, but
But I know it will take a lot of time.
The jungle in Vietnam is like this. It seems like there is only a little way, but if you really start walking, you will find that it is full of kudzu, weeds and even you have to be careful of poisonous snakes, so it will cost you ten dollars to walk for any length of time.
A few, twenty minutes.
And at that time...I'm afraid that Highland 237 would have already fallen into the hands of the enemy.
what to do?
Just sniper and kill the Vietnamese army without cover? This seems possible, but the firepower of this Vietnamese army is very fierce. In addition to the AK, there are also two light machine guns... The danger also comes from these two machine guns, because
My location is more than 400 meters away from the Vietnamese army's position. From this distance, it is difficult for the Vietnamese army to pose a threat to me.
However, the machine gun is different. Its range is about the same as that of a sniper rifle, and it is densely packed... Once I, a sniper, are discovered by them in this open space, I am afraid that I will be put under suspicion.
Maybe, I can consider killing the two machine gunners of the Vietnamese army one after another. As long as I am fast, I believe I can do this. But the problem is... just because I can kill the machine gunners does not mean that I can also damage the machine guns, deputy shooter
Or when other Japanese soldiers grab a machine gun, their first target will definitely be me.
"Da da da..." The fierce battle started soon. The soldiers rushed up in groups with guns in hand, but were soon suppressed by the Vietnamese army on the road and unable to move.
At this time, a familiar figure ran past me. It was the Liang Company soldier of the third platoon. When I saw the sniper rifle in his hand, I couldn't help but cursed inwardly. I was really stupid. How could I forget the sharpshooter Liang Company soldier?
.
Thinking of this, I immediately shouted into the intercom: "Third Platoon Commander, our two sniper rifles each control a machine gun... No problem!"
Liang Lianbing couldn't help but be stunned. He turned around and looked at me behind him, then nodded and said, "No problem!"
Then he took the gun and hid in a ditch beside the road.
As for me... I just knelt down in the middle of the road and raised my gun...
There was no place to hide anyway, and as long as he was targeted by a Japanese machine gun, he would be almost certain to die, so he simply stopped hiding.
After observing the Vietnamese army's position through the sniper scope for a while, they were concentrating on dealing with our soldiers on the road. They didn't even notice that there were two snipers in the distance who were targeting them, so they also gave
Let's take some time.
"I'll deal with the one on the left, and you deal with the one on the right!" I said.
What answered me was a gunshot... I don't know if Liang Lianbing hit the target, because I was aiming at my target at this time. But the gunshot clearly attracted the attention of the Vietnamese army... The Vietnamese Japanese
They are not vegetarians either. They can also sense the presence of snipers among the enemy from the sound of gunfire, even though the sound of gunfire is similar to that of a machine gun.
Therefore, in my sniper scope, the Vietnamese machine gunner soon stopped shooting at our soldiers and started searching among our troops... He soon found me half-kneeling in the middle of the road, and the next second he was like a gun
Point your mouth towards me...
However, what I have to say is... he recognized the wrong person. The sniper he was looking for should be Liang Lianbing, and my gun had already been pointed at him and ready to attack, so of course I would not allow him
There is a chance to make a hit.
"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the Vietnamese soldier tilted his head and fell into a pool of blood.
This is the moment I've been waiting for. When he shoots at our soldiers, he will swing left and right, and the green smoke from the muzzle will provide him with some cover. However, when he stops to search... he often...
You will forget that you are also the target of others.
The deputy shooter of the Vietnamese army quickly added, but there was no accident... With a few "bang bang" gunshots, the Vietnamese soldier who had just come up fell under our gun before he could pull the trigger urgently.
.
Once the two machine guns are under our control, the next problem will be easy to solve... The accuracy of the AK is not high, and the Vietnamese army is not large in number and it is difficult to form a strong firepower, so the AK in the hands of our army is very small
With the upper hand, row after row of soldiers attacked and suppressed the Japanese soldiers until they were lying on the ground unable to raise their heads... Then several soldiers rushed forward and threw a few grenades, and the battle ended just like that.
At this time, I breathed a sigh of relief... Although those few shots just seemed very simple and pale in comparison to the previous sniping, I knew that it was not easy at all.
The reason is that we have no cover and are almost exposed to the guns of the Vietnamese army... In other words, as long as Liang Bing and I miss one shot, then we are likely to be finished. The Vietnamese machine guns
It only takes one row to sieve us.
"Good fight!" I said to Liang Lianbing who had just emerged from the ditch: "This time we are tied!"
Liang Lianbing blushed and said, "I'm still a little behind you. I missed the second shot..."
"What?" I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat after hearing this.
"Yes!" Liang Lianbing nodded: "The second machine gunner was shot by another soldier. I don't know who it is. I really have to thank him!"
"Who else can there be?" Captain Luo raised his 56 and a half to us from the front. This is also the only 56 and a half in our company... So we knew who to thank.
"Comrades, you are cooperating well!" Captain Luo nodded approvingly to us and said, "I have to reflect on it. I was too hasty just now and didn't know how to use a sniper rifle to suppress the enemy's firepower... It's all my fault for my inexperience.
There are two sharpshooters who don’t know how to use the good equipment, but fortunately the second platoon leader reminded me!”
In fact, Captain Luo cannot be blamed for this. Our army does not yet have the concept of snipers. Who would know how to direct snipers in combat?
Due to the emergency situation, Captain Luo didn't say anything more. He waved his hand and ordered: "Reinforce Highland 237 immediately!"
At this time, the gunfire from the direction of Highland 237 has become weaker and weaker... This is telling us that Highland 237 cannot hold on. To be continued.)
