"Boom!" The bombardment of Vietnamese tanks began soon, and they were lined up by Soviet and American tanks, and one after another, shells rushed towards the firepower point in our highlands.
It is obvious that the Vietnamese army recorded the machine gun positions and grenade launchers positions through the previous battles, so the Vietnamese tanks can also be considered targeted at this time.
But fortunately... we had transferred the grenade launcher and machine gun in advance, and the Vietnamese tanks were one thousand meters away from our position, so we have not caused much damage to us yet.
But it is obvious that this is just the Vietnamese tanks being tested and practicing. Once they wait for them to charge... our firepower will have to be exposed to the sight of the Vietnamese tankers again, and then they are the real ones.
It's time to show off your power.
"Marx!" I shouted at several artillery observers: "Come with me!"
"Yes!" Marx responded, but soon thought he had heard it wrong: "What?"
He still thought I asked him to call for fire support again...
"Didn't you hear it clearly?" I shouted: "All artillery observers come with me!"
"Yes!" Marx was sure that he had heard it wrong this time, but he was afraid that he was still wondering... It should be said that artillery observers should disperse themselves to find their suitable positions to observe the enemy's movements. Only in this way can they be more
It’s good to guide our army to bomb the enemy’s artillery fire? How could anyone gather artillery observers together during wartime like me?
But no matter how much I think about it, Marx and others still didn't ask anything to follow me.
There were the sound of bombing of tank guns and bullets of anti-aircraft machine guns everywhere outside... but we couldn't care about so much, and led them all the way along the traffic trench to run towards the ammunition depot.
After a while, I ran into the ammunition warehouse. I used a flashlight to snoop on the piles of wooden boxes and said, "Hurry! Open the box!"
"Yes!" Marx responded and immediately stepped forward and started. He asked in confusion: "Company Commander...what are we looking for?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" I said, "Just open the box, don't worry about what you know, just look for something you have never seen before..."
"Yes!" Marx and others stopped talking after hearing this, and each was responsible for a bunch of things everywhere.
After a while, a soldier shouted: "Company Commander... I haven't seen this thing before! It's a bit like a recoilless cannon..."
I leaned over and saw that it wasn't it the "Dragon" anti-tank missile used by the Americans? The reason I know this is because it has appeared in many Vietnam War TV and movies... Speaking of which, Americans and Vietnamese
During the war, Vietnam had no tanks at all, so anti-tank missiles like the US military were once useless. The US military simply used them as recoilless cannons to attack the Vietnamese Japanese.
OK... If this thing really comes in handy, it will come in handy for us now.
Then I waved to Marx and others and said, "It's this thing, anti-tank missiles, used to attack tanks!"
"Guideline... missile?" Marx and others were stunned: "What's the thing? Can you fight tanks?"
So I understood one thing... Although our country already had the Dongfeng 4 ballistic missile at this time, short-range individual missiles like this were blank, so that artillery observers with higher education like Marx did not know it.
What is a missile?
"Don't worry about what it is!" I said as I opened several boxes nearby, and soon found the sight and tracker, and said to Marx and several others: "This is the sight, this is the launcher.
Put the sight onto the launcher... and you can aim and shoot!"
"Where are the shells?" Marx was still a little confused.
"One-time!" I said, "There is only one missile in one launcher. After the shooting, put the sight on another launcher and continue firing... Do you understand?"
"Oh!" Marx nodded quickly.
To be honest, I only know so much. I have seen the US military in the Vietnam War movies, so I know. If I really want to operate it... then forget it, I don't want to be here.
The subordinates make a fool of themselves.
In this regard, I believe that people from Marx, who are from artillery, have more advantages. After all, they have seen much more equipment than me. As the saying goes, if you use more weapons, it will be almost the same... The difference is just to use them.
It's a question of whether it's proficient or not.
Sure enough, Marx quickly found a position and successfully installed the launcher and sight together, then carried one on his back and ran out of the cave... and ran outside the cave, looking at the group of Japanese Japanese tanks and pulled the trigger...
…
With a "chubby" sound, as the launcher sprayed a fire, a missile rushed straight towards the group of Vietnamese tanks with a roar. However, it is regrettable that the missile did not hit the target.
It exploded a few dozen meters above the tank, and only a large area of earth and rocks were blown down.
But even so, the soldiers were overjoyed. At least we have something to fight against the Vietnamese tanks now.
"Company Commander!" Marx shouted at me excitedly: "After this missile is fired, it can still follow the sight. In the end, I raised the sight so it went off..."
"What? Can you still command after you fight?" The soldiers were stunned when they heard this.
After hearing this, I suddenly realized: Yes... the so-called missile is just a guided shooting, otherwise it would be no different from a shell.
Then when I saw the direction of the Yue Japanese tank gun, I secretly said something wrong: the missile I just fired made the Yue Japanese already know that we have anti-tank missiles, and also know the location of Dalei...
So he shouted: "Hurry! Move all the missiles out of the cave!"
The soldiers didn't know what I meant. Without saying a word, they carried a box and ran out... Several soldiers in the trench outside quickly joined the team of succession and were transported in a short while.
More than a dozen boxes were released.
During this period, the Japanese Japanese tank guns were also fired in our direction, but they were always unable to hit because of the distance or because they were too impatient... We are not worried about the Japanese Japanese gun fire that will cause damage to the ammunition in the cave.
There is a reason why this cave was used as an ammunition depot by the Vietnamese Japanese.
First of all, it is because its hole is relatively hidden and is located in a valley, which is difficult for ordinary artillery fire to hit this part.
Secondly, because it is made of hard rocks, and when the mortar hits it, it means a white dot...
What we are worried about is that... this artillery fire explodes here, and the falling stones or collapsed soil will block the hole, which will undoubtedly prevent us from obtaining anti-tank missiles for the time being.
I think this is the purpose of the Japanese devils' artillery fire.
Sure enough, not long after, a piece of gravel and soil were blown down and blocked the hole... Fortunately, we had already come out of the hole in time and carried enough missiles.
But even so, I ordered Liang Lianbing, who was the reserve team, and said, "Dig the ammunition depot immediately, the faster the better!"
There is no doubt about this. The ammunition depot is actually the foundation of our survival. Without it... even if we have missiles, we cannot stop the attack of the Vietnamese army.
It would be much easier to get the missile out. Marx and several artillery observers each divided a sight, and then divided a few soldiers to carry the launch cylinder and spread it out...
It is necessary to disperse. If you gather in a bunch of people, let the Japanese concentrate their firepower and get it in one go, right? And this is also the advantage of the Dragon-style individual anti-tank missile. Even if it is assembled, it will only have more than 30 kilograms, and the launch system will be
14 kilograms, 20 kilograms of missiles... One can easily run around the mountain with one back.
What about the tank? The anti-aircraft machine guns on the tank are better. If you want to use tank guns to hit these people running around, it will be a bit clumsy.
At this time... I would not give the machine gunners on the tank a chance to show their power. With my order, the grenade launcher did not fire the machine gun for the purpose of hiding the fire point, and the grenade launcher started to fire together.
Needless to say, its goal is to suppress the firepower of the Vietnamese tank group.
If it is just our machine guns and Vietnamese machine guns, we may not be able to gain any advantage. After all, the Vietnamese army hides behind tanks to shoot, and their weapons are anti-aircraft machine guns with stronger firepower. But the problem is that we have
Grenade launcher... This thing only hit the tank group "bang" in a row, and a lot of shrapnel exploded in the direction of the Vietnamese tank group, and soon the Vietnamese machine gunner hidden behind it was blown up.
It was tilted, so our army's machine gun fire soon gained the upper hand.
Of course, the grenade launcher cannot be fired in one place for a long time at this time. Needless to say, the reason is... If you stay in one place for more than one minute, you will easily be targeted by the Vietnamese tank guns.
Fortunately, we have already broadened the traffic trench for the grenade launcher, so the soldiers of the machine gun platoon always brought the two grenade launchers to change the place after firing a few shots, and then fired a few shots and changed the place after firing a few more shots...
The most important thing is that the Vietnamese tanks are now concerned about it... There is no doubt that they are just worried about our anti-tank missiles. This makes them unable to open fire at our army's firepower with confidence... They have to keep shells as much as possible to deal with anti-tank missiles.
.
The facts proved that their worries were justified, because under the cover of our army's firepower, Marx quickly fired a second missile... This time, the Japanese were not so lucky, and this missile attacked without any bias.
He was hit by a t62, and then there was a loud "boom" sound, and the tank turned into a ball of fire.
Along with that, the soldiers were cheering, and being able to hit the tanks of the Vietnamese army... it means we are saved! (To be continued...)
