Although the Vietnamese army suffered heavy casualties in their first attack due to our strong firepower, they did not stop the attack. // Welcome to Reading //
I believe that the Vietnamese army has given up hope of recapturing the ammunition depot. After all, everyone knows one thing...the ammunition depot is difficult to store but very easy to detonate. Now that it has fallen into our hands, what will happen to Vietnam?
The Japanese want to take it back... It seems we only need to be the last one to detonate the ammunition depot.
So why are the Yue Japanese so eager to attack Highland 581?
There is only one reason...opening up the logistics channel of the 5th Infantry Division.
At this time, the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army is almost in a desperate situation. The ammunition depot is in our hands and the passage is blocked by us... So it can be predicted that their ammunition will soon be in crisis.
.
This can be seen from the decreasing number of mortar shells fired by the Vietnamese army at our positions... In fact, the first artillery bombardment by the Vietnamese army was still large-scale, and subsequent artillery fire basically came from the direction of Vietnam.
. This is not only because the Vietnamese army's artillery shells are insufficient, but also because our artillery deliberately attracts the Vietnamese army's artillery fire to reduce our pressure.
We can even see that the Vietnamese army has sent soldiers to crawl to the position to pick up ammunition...
Modern warfare... If there is a crisis in ammunition, it will be a nightmare for an army, even if the number of people in this army is much larger than ours.
Therefore, the Vietnamese Fifth Infantry Division had no choice but to attack, otherwise all that awaited them would be surrender or destruction.
As time goes by, the sky gradually gets brighter.
So the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers in front of our position finally broke away from the clouds and saw the blue sky... Only then did we realize that more than a hundred Vietnamese soldiers had been killed in the battle just now, and this did not include the injured Vietnamese who fled back.
military.
Then, before we could appreciate our results carefully, the Vietnamese army quickly launched another attack...
This time they were much more cautious. Perhaps it was because there was no cover from the heavy fog. Or perhaps they had the experience of the last failure... They did not charge desperately like last time, but spread out and crawled under the cover of the corpses.
Push forward, digging foxholes along the way.
This may have a certain effect. To use our Chinese words to describe it, their current tactics are "step by step". Obviously, the foxholes they dug will not only provide cover for themselves, but also for subsequent attacks.
Comrades rushing forward provide cover.
But...we are condescending, how deep do they have to dig foxholes so that we can't hit them?
In addition, the rapid attack of the Vietnamese army will not put much pressure on us. So this gives the soldiers an opportunity to practice using the M16.
The ones who had the most fun were the soldiers in the machine gun company. They were very excited because they were assigned American equipment... Although people in this era keep calling Americans American emperors, they know in their hearts that American products are advanced.
synonym for.
Although there were a few shots fired in the previous battle, they were completely aimless strafing in the heavy fog. At this time, how could they let go of such a good opportunity? They were all lying in the trenches with a decent appearance.
Aim your gun at the Vietnamese troops digging foxholes!
It's just that the marksmanship is really unflattering. I kept shooting blindly for a while without knowing where the bullets went. But it seems that I can't blame them... they are five or six hundred meters away, and they are still new recruits.
Moreover, this was my first time using the m16, so it would be strange to be able to shoot accurately.
On the other hand, a few veterans in the second row still have two hands... Because I consciously asked them to learn to use M16, so each squad was given two for them to practice. At this time, they took it out and aimed at the Japanese soldiers below.
.
"Bang bang!"
"Bang!"
…
Listening to the sound of gunfire, I feel that it is interesting. This is the correct way to shoot. You must know that although the recoil and bullet scattering area of the M16 are small, it will still have an impact when fired continuously, especially against
A long-distance target...that's just a hair's breadth away from a thousand miles away, so it's more appropriate to shoot in bursts, rather than "squeaking" like a new recruit with a magazine.
Sure enough, soon several Yue Japanese who were digging fortifications fell under the gunfire of the soldiers.
Then came Zhang Zuoliang's voice scolding the new recruits: "Did you see that? Learn more from the veterans' fighting styles!"
The recruits responded with a yes, and soon picked up their rifles and started practicing against the Vietnamese...
You must know that this is a battlefield, and the target is still a living person, so this new recruit has made great progress, and he will be able to fight very smoothly after a while. Although it cannot be said that it is a hundred hits, the bullets can at least fall around the target.
The Vietnamese army may have realized that something was wrong... Wouldn't this fight help us train our troops and practice marksmanship? Moreover, it is difficult for them to observe us on Highland 581 due to the elevation problem, so it is purely a living moving target...
As a result, the Vietnamese army soon lost their composure. As an officer jumped up and shouted "Comrades...", then the Vietnamese soldiers climbed up from the ground in droves and charged at us with guns in hand.
Why did the officer just shout "Comrades" and then start charging against the Japanese?
In fact, this was not his intention. He had two more words to say, "Go!", but he didn't have time to shout out these two words, because the bullet fired from the chamber of my gun had already made him never have this.
Chance.
But as we saw, the other Yue Japanese had already guessed what his order was, so they all charged at our high ground with guns in hand.
But it is obvious that this kind of charge will not pose any threat to us, especially in the daytime with good light and strong visibility... The soldiers can clearly see the charging formation of the Vietnamese army, and then fire pieces of bullets
The rain blocked it from the cordon... This was not like a war, this was a meaningless sacrifice, a contest between flesh and blood and bullets.
Can flesh and blood be compared to bullets? Of course not, otherwise people wouldn’t need body armor.
But the Japanese seemed not to know this at all, and they rushed towards our high ground one by one... The ones in front fell down, and the ones behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to rush forward, holding up their M16s towards us as they rushed.
Random shooting on the ground... They may have hoped to be lucky enough to kill one or two enemies before they died, but our army's geographical advantage prevented them from doing so.
Only then did I realize that the impression I had on the Vietnamese Fifth Infantry Division last night about their fear of life and death was wrong. Maybe they were not cowardly, they were just not used to fighting at night.
It's just that... from this perspective, it would be better for them to fight at night. Because at this time, we have the range and geographical advantages, and darkness can greatly shorten the gap between us.
But as the saying goes, there is no such store after passing this village. When the Vietnamese army realized this... it was already daytime.
Ten minutes later, the Vietnamese army's attack was defeated by us again without any surprise. Apart from the fact that there were more corpses in the position and more trench sounds, there was no difference. If there is anything different, it is that the Vietnamese army
The body and blood pushed forward another dozen meters.
"Should the Vietnamese army surrender?" At this time, this idea naturally popped up in my mind. You know...this Vietnamese army is a South Vietnamese army. The South Vietnamese army is more Westernized in ideology, that is, it is more biased.
Europe and America.
What would the Americans do if they encountered this situation? The US military has air superiority. They will send a large number of bombers to coordinate operations, and transport aircraft and helicopters to provide supplies and fire support to the surrounded troops. So if they really fight us, they will fight us.
It's never been this easy.
But the problem is that what we are facing is not the US military, they are just the South Vietnamese army trained by the US military. Does Vietnam have air supremacy? Does it have a large number of bombers, transport aircraft, and helicopters?
No!
So I don't think they have any chance of winning this war, so at this time... they should choose to escape or surrender.
The possibility of escaping will be higher. After all, we are only blocking the transportation lines of the Vietnamese. There are many ways for the Vietnamese to escape, such as walking through the jungle or crossing the river on foot... although the river has swelled due to the rainy season.
, but it is feasible as long as you get a few life rafts or have good water skills and swim over.
The problem is that once they escape... it means that the defense line of the entire army will collapse, and the main force of our army will chase them all the way, so this actually means that the small group of people who fled first will have time to escape.
, most of those who were left behind were either annihilated or surrendered.
But...the Vietnamese Japanese have done nothing now. What are they waiting for? Or are the Vietnamese army officers suppressing them and preventing them from surrendering?
The latter is very likely, just like the suicide charge launched by the Vietnamese army just now. I don't think the South Vietnamese army will have such a fighting style. It is more like the madness of the North Vietnamese army. Of course, strictly speaking, the South Vietnamese army has already
It no longer exists. The South Vietnamese army in front of us is also under the control of the North Vietnamese army.
But I feel that things are not that simple. The Vietnamese army seems to still have a glimmer of hope of defeating us. What is this hope?
"Tanks!" At this time I heard Scar shouting on the intercom: "The Vietnamese Japanese have sent tanks up, there are more than a dozen..."
Almost at the same time, the "rumble" of the motor was heard opposite us, and several tanks camouflaged with turf slowly drove out from the corner of the road... Obviously, these tanks were already in front of us.
It has been lurking for a long time, but the Vietnamese have never used it. It was not until a tank unit came from the direction of Vietnam that they took action!
So I knew what the Vietnamese were waiting for. (To be continued...
