ps: There was no update in the morning due to the power outage today. This chapter is for the morning, and this chapter will be updated later in the evening!
The sound of guns and cannons became even more intense, but the difference from before was that... this time it was more of the sound of guns and cannons from the Vietnamese army.
The sound of artillery was from the rear of the Vietnamese army.
I have to admit that the Vietnamese army's infantry and artillery coordination is indeed very good, especially the fifth Vietnamese infantry division in front of us... Maybe, this is because they were trained by the US military, the US military has always been particular about it.
With the cooperation between various troops and various branches of the army, it seems that this Vietnamese army has also inherited the fine tradition of the US military.
Just like what we see now... As soon as our army's firepower is weak, the Vietnamese artillery observer quickly touched the position on the top of the mountain. As soon as the artillery observer got on the position, it means that he could guide and command mortars to bomb our position.
The bombing is divided into two parts, one pointing to the 393 Highland... The Vietnamese army knew that this highland had strong cover firepower from our army. The other part pointed to the second trench on the back slope position of our army... This trench
It is the main firepower component of our army's reverse inclined position.
The gunshots are from the M16 in the hands of the Vietnamese army and the American general-purpose machine gun on the top of the mountain... You should know that once our army's firepower is suppressed by the Vietnamese mortar, it means that the Vietnamese army on the top of the mountain will have more
The advantages of free movement space, American equipment are its long range, high accuracy and strong firepower... So the bullet rushed towards our position, and in an instant our position was like a pot of stir-frying.
It was a mess like beans.
At this time, I couldn't help but regret ordering the soldiers to "retract" their firepower. You know, we were still suppressing the enemy and making them unable to fight back. Who knew that these American-style Vietnamese troops could be so short
Seize the opportunity in time and burst out with such amazing combat power.
However, this kind of regret is just a flash of thought in my heart... because I know very well. Although we were suppressing the enemy before, the enemy's casualties were not large... The casualties we caused to the Vietnamese army were nothing more than
That is, the grenades that were thrown up to the top of the mountain and injured several people. The Vietnamese army knew that we would keep throwing grenades to the top of the mountain, but of course we would not be so stupid that we would send a large number of troops to garrison.
So, before, we were actually using ammunition to withstand the Vietnamese attack... The result of continuing like this is that our ammunition will be consumed soon.
In other words, it is only a matter of time before the enemy is "let go" out.
And I am not very worried about the enemy's attack... The reason is that I know that the bombing of the Vietnamese artillery fire will always stop for a moment.
This is not to say that the Vietnamese army's artillery shells are not enough...but that the Vietnamese army's troops are charging.
Sure enough, when the Vietnamese army crossed the first trench of our army and was more than 100 meters away from the second trench... the Vietnamese army's mortar stopped!
It should be said that the mortar killers are not as far as more than 100 meters... Because the mortar shells are short and the amount of charge is not large, the killing radius of 60 guns and 82 guns is about 20m.
Some people may wonder... Since the Japanese devils have not yet entered the killing radius of the mortar, why did they stop bombing so early?
This is actually another benefit of the reverse slope tactic... The Vietnamese army's attack rushed down from the above the slope, while the shrapnel exploded from bottom to top radially.
Therefore, although the Vietnamese army is more than 100 meters away from us, it is at a high place because it is relatively high compared to the bombing point of the shell... so it has actually entered the range of killing of the mortar fragments, so the Vietnamese army has also entered the range of killing.
The artillery had to stop the bombing, and even the bombing of the 393 Highland had to stop... so our army had time to fight back.
And the time and timing of this counterattack... should be said to be just right!
"Fight!" With my order, various weapons from the reverse slope and the 393 high ground spurted out flames at the charge of the Vietnamese army. In an instant, the gunshot and bullets suppressed the Vietnamese army's firepower.
Especially the double-equipped anti-aircraft machine gun on the 393 Highland... specially equipped with the firepower cover unit of the Vietnamese army on the 419 mountain top position. As soon as the fire opened, the Vietnamese army on the entire mountain top position was gone.
The Vietnamese charge troops lost the cover of friendly firepower and the coordination of mortars... They soon became an isolated army, so they were exposed to the guns of our army.
These Vietnamese troops are worthy of being well-trained troops. When they saw that the signs were wrong, they quickly stopped charging and searched for cover on the spot...
Some of them lie down on the spot and dodge bullets, which should be said to be the conditioned reflex of most Vietnamese troops... But this is still not smart enough, because they not only have to face the People's Liberation Army from the back slope, but also the firepower from the 393 Highlands...
…For the warriors of the 393 Highland, the enemies lying below are like a personal target, and the distance is only one or two hundred meters... For us, the only difficulty in this kind of shooting is that it is somewhat in the direction.
Just adjust the shooting angle when you go to the right.
Some people soon thought of the first trench that they had just broken through... These people were undoubtedly smart. They stopped and retreated before our army could even shoot a large number of bullets.
The first trench was built and attempted to organize defense based on this.
But they soon discovered that it was just a good wish...
The first trench has a very deceptive design for the Vietnamese Japanese, that is, the front is high and the back is low. This design is no problem for our army, because we are facing the other side, the position we can rely on.
It's high... and the Vietnamese army is just the opposite. They leaned against the high half, but the other half they rely on was so low that they could bend down and hide it inside, and so narrow that they could only accommodate one person...
…
Then the problem soon emerged. The Vietnamese army either bent down and hid in it to avoid bullets... It was impossible to shoot at this time because it was hiding horizontally. If you want to shoot, you must poke out half of your body... It can poke out half of your body.
The result of his body is to expose himself to the firepower of our army.
So the Vietnamese army soon realized that the charge had failed. With the order of an officer... the Vietnamese army retreated like a tide.
At this time, something even more helpless about the Vietnamese army... The first trench was high in front and low in the back, and the trench in front and behind had a height difference of at least half a person. In addition, most of the parts that formed the trench were slippery.
Mud... This thing is easy to get off and it is difficult to get back. The rows of Japanese devils wanted to climb back with their hands and feet, but they failed several times. And in the process, they still had to worry about whether bullets would hit them.
Body...
There is no suspense until now. I even found that there were several soldiers beside me watching the funny looks of the Yue Japanese and laughing while fighting.
Then something unexpected happened... When this team of Vietnamese soldiers realized that they could not escape, they raised their hands to surrender. At first, there were only a few people, but in a short while it developed into a large area... except for those who were knocked down. He screamed and groaned on the ground, and almost all raised his hands.
This is a bit different from the Vietnamese army we know... Then I thought about it and soon understood that this Vietnamese army was trained by the Americans. The Americans' combat style has always been that if it cannot affect the situation, then it can Choose to surrender...it is believed that this army was also influenced by the Americans' thoughts.
But this seems to be understandable. You should know that South Vietnam is mostly under the rule of the Western world. It was France before, but later it was the United States... and the view of the Western world is that if there is no way to change the situation of the war, there is no need to sacrifice life. The South Vietnamese army grew up in this environment since childhood, so it is not surprising that it will be affected.
"Company Commander, what should I do?" Scar's inquiry came from the intercom.
At this time, I couldn't help but be stunned...The prisoners in front of me had at least two platoons, which were not considered those who fell to the ground and were injured. If they were fake surrender or riots, etc., we would have to take care of them. !What's more... Even if they do nothing and surrender honestly, we don't know what to do with so many prisoners.
But what can I do? Do I not accept surrender? If it is one or two, it would be fine... Such a large area...
After thinking about it, I shouted loudly in Vietnamese at the surrendered Vietnamese: "Pile the weapons into a pile, take off all the clothes, come over!"
When the Vietnamese people heard this, they were obviously relieved and felt relieved. They saw that some of us could speak Vietnamese, so they hurriedly shouted: "Let us surrender... let's surrender! Comrades in the People's Liberation Army, don't shoot..."
There are many people in the Vietnamese army who can speak Chinese, but they are not South Vietnamese... Because when China and Vietnam were "comrades and brothers", South Vietnam was "comrades and brothers" with the United States.
So... some of them know English, but not many of them know Chinese.
Then the Vietnamese army was very obedient and piled up weapons and equipment aside, and then took off their legs and walked towards us...
"Prepare to accept the captives!" I ordered Scar.
"Yes!" Scar responded, and then asked again: "Company Commander...How to deal with those weapons?"
"No!" I said, "Send someone to blow them up!"
"Yes!" Scar had no objection to my order.
It was a pity for scholars to hear it. He advised from the side: "Company Commander... are all American equipment! They beat them far and accurately... and they exploded like this..."
"What do you know?" Scar replied on the intercom: "We can't mess with the American weapon, it's just a fire stick in our hands!"
Scar is right... I also want to get some American equipment to play with, but reason tells me that this is unrealistic... This is not only because American equipment is difficult to maintain, but more importantly, it is related to Our bullets are not universal.
So I finally suppressed this temptation. (To be continued...)
