The next second, the American tanks quickly retreated. This time, they did not circle around in front of us to avoid missiles, but retreated into the high ground along the road and disappeared from our sight.
I think this is a big sigh because these tanks don’t know that our missiles have been fired at this time, or they were scared by the explosion of those tanks.
The Vietnamese infantry lost the cover of the tank and soon lost the will to charge. They left a large number of corpses and retreated like a tide.
So a cheer broke out on the position. The cheer was not only to win the battle, but also to solve the big trouble for us...the tank troops of the Vietnamese army.
Many soldiers hugged Marx and several artillery observers excitedly and shouted:
"Marx! Good..."
"Comrade Artillery! You guys are fighting so beautifully!"
...
"Good fight!" At this time, Scar had time to walk to me, and said with relief: "I thought we were done just now, but I didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway... By the way, you
How do you know there are missiles in the ammunition depot?”
"Well, that... guess!" I said, "I'm thinking... Our army also has tanks, right? Then there are very likely anti-tank weapons in the ammunition depot of the Vietnamese. Take a few of them to find them.
...There is really the result!"
"You are there!" Scar couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You are really a lucky general. I fought with the Americans for several years in the Vietnamese devils, but I couldn't seize a missile.
All of them were beaten by Americans... you just found more than a dozen!"
"Maybe more than a dozen!" I said, "It seems that there is still some ammunition stock!"
Scar's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he said, "Little...company commander..."
As soon as I heard Scar's words, I almost laughed. Scar was used to being called "boy" like before. As a result, when I thought it was wrong, I changed my words to "company commander". So I became "little company commander"
.
Scar said a little embarrassedly: "Company Commander, it's amazing to seize this thing, including the grenade launcher... Our country does not have these things. If you take it back to the country and study it and copy it... This battle will be a big deal.
It's easy! So don't just do it..."
I nodded. Of course, what Scar said is true. You must know that our current anti-tank weapon is nothing more than a bazooka... But the range of the bazooka is only 300 meters. As now, we can't stand a little further than the Japanese tank like now.
, they are the only ones who beat us but we can’t beat it!
Later I realized... In fact, the anti-tank weapons of our army are not blank at about one thousand meters. For example, the 65-year-old 82 recoil-free cannon equipped by our army has a range of more than 1,700 meters.
It is because this thing requires a large launch space... The reason is that the recoil-free gun barrel is long and there will be fire behind it. If there is not enough space behind it, the tail flames emitted are likely to burn the gunner.
It is undoubtedly difficult to do in trench warfare in highlands. And even if it is done, it will cause the launch position to be relatively fixed and easily hit by the enemy.
Secondly... The thickness of this thing is only about 120mm. You should know that the side armor of the t62 is 170mm... In other words, this thing is not only inconvenient and dangerous to use, but also has no use on the battlefield...
…So the soldiers would rather bring a bazooka than a recoilless cannon.
Perhaps it was precisely because of the realization that this 65-year-old recoilless gun could not adapt to the battlefield that a recoilless gun that was finalized in 1979 and mass-produced in 1981 was released...
In other words, in this era, we are basically in a blank state in anti-tank weapons that are three hundred meters away. Even if the new recoil-free equipment in 1981 is coming... it will also have these shortcomings such as inconvenient highland warfare, if
It would be very different to be able to produce this anti-tank missile.
"Company Commander!" At this time, Liang Lianbing shouted at me: "The ammunition depot has been dug out!"
"Oh!" Hearing this, I immediately ran down the traffic trench with my scar. I ran to the cave and saw it... I really dug a hole that could only allow one person to climb into, and there were several soldiers.
The ammunition is constantly being handed out!
"See if there are any missiles?" I said.
The soldiers inside were stunned.
"Forget it! Let me go in..." As I said that, I simply crawled in with a scar, went in and flipped the ammunition with a flashlight, and then I felt relieved. There were at least twenty missiles left!
Perhaps our army used a large number of tanks in the counterattack war, so the Vietnamese Japanese thought that there were Chinese tanks to deal with in this battle, so they transported so many anti-tank missiles, but they didn't expect it to be cheaper for us.
"Take ten of these things out!" I said to the soldier who was responsible for carrying ammunition: "No one is allowed to move a dozen or so, and there are also those grenade launchers. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Although the soldiers in the cave were recruits, they were unambiguous in executing the orders. They immediately ordered ten boxes of missiles and moved them out.
When Scar and I got out of the cave, we saw several soldiers already looking around the missile outside:
"What kind of cannon is this? It's so powerful... it can knock down a tank with just one shot!"
"There are still no shells!"
...
Marx and several other artillery observers were proudly introducing the soldiers, and they were so proud that they were on their faces.
However, they do have the capital to be proud of, and they can use the power of individual soldiers to destroy several Vietnamese tanks... This is very rare in the battlefield against Vietnam, and they can make a note of the credit score based on this.
At this moment, a roar of shells suddenly came from the air... At this time, the soldiers were also experiencing experience on the battlefield for a while. Before I could order, they moved the ammunition concentrated at the entrance of the cave.
Let's spread out and hide each other.
A few minutes later, I heard that the artillery fire was a little wrong, and the explosion was all the way to the west... I came out of the trenches and saw that the remaining American tanks of the Japanese devils had already opened on the road, and then they were tight.
Following a large number of Vietnamese Japanese retreated toward the canyon...
It is obvious that the Vietnamese army is going to break through, or it can be said to be running away!
At this time, my first reaction was... If the Japanese invaders want to escape, they will run away. Anyway, they have lost this battle. From a strategic perspective, if we stop it, we will kill a few more people. And we have killed enough people today.
I don't want to kill anyone anymore...
But the superior obviously didn't think so. Correspondent Xiao Liu handed the walkie-talkie to me, and the shout of Commander Liu came from inside: "Second Company Commander! The Japanese devils are going to retreat, so you must stop them, too, a Japanese devil is also a
Don't let it go!"
"Yes!" I replied.
In some ways, my thoughts just now are not suitable for the battlefield... Maybe it was a reaction after killing too many people, or maybe I felt a little reluctant to see the Yue Japanese escaping in a panic.
Looking back now, these Vietnamese Japanese are soldiers. If they go back today, they will pick up their guns to deal with us again tomorrow. So the saying "benevolence to the enemy is cruelty to oneself" is correct. Since we have entered the battlefield, we have entered the battlefield.
, you should not be kind to the enemy. I think the Vietnamese troops in front of us also think so and do the same!
So I gritted my teeth and ordered: "Marx! You are responsible for fighting tanks! Other units block the road with firepower!"
"Yes!" With a response, the soldiers set up various weapons on the trenches.
It should be said that the retreat of the Vietnamese army was still orderly at this time, or they still had a little breaking through... Tanks were all driven on the side facing our high ground, and the machine guns and turrets also turned to our positions, with firepower covering them.
The unit also followed the tanks all the way forward. It is obvious that even if the tank is destroyed, it will block traffic in the middle of the road, and even the flames and smoke that explode can also serve as a cover for other troops.
But as soon as I looked at their scattered formation, I knew that they had no intention of fighting...
This is the style of the American army, and the US military also has this disadvantage: they can only fight smoothly but not against the counter-war. Simply put, their combat style is to use a large amount of modern equipment to pile up, both aircraft and cannons
Yes, if the fight is smooth, then go ahead. Once you fail or encounter a tough nail... your morale will soon plummet, which means you will be defeated like a mountain of defeat.
The facts also proved that my idea was right. When the Vietnamese army approached, the soldiers fired all kinds of weapons in their hands with my order. As a result, the gunshots just rang out not long ago. This one was still in front of us just now.
The Vietnamese army soon scattered birds and beasts... Some fled in all directions, like a group of chaotic ants, without rules, some were hiking into the ditch, some fleeing into the jungle, and some even fled to the north.
...That side is China's direction, the main force of the People's Liberation Army is guarding it!
However, most of the Vietnamese army still know that there is a greater chance of escape through the highway... Escape into the jungle may solve the current crisis, but soon the Chinese team will occupy these high grounds as the Vietnamese army retreats, which means
The guys who escaped into the jungle either starved to death in the jungle or had to pass the People's Liberation Army blockade again.
So they mustered up the courage to move towards the highway under the cover of tanks... But the problem is that if the tank wants to cover infantry, it will inevitably not drive quickly. If it does not drive quickly, it will be easily hit by missiles. As a result, the missile fired by Marx was destroyed.
After a tank, the other tanks of the Vietnamese Japanese no longer care about covering the infantry. After increasing their horsepower, they rushed to the canyon like crazy...
The Vietnamese infantry were in trouble. Our army machine guns, submachine guns and other automatic weapons were roaring wildly, and dense rain of bullets poured towards them in pieces, and the grenade launcher was also among them.
A grenade exploded violently, which only caused the Vietnamese army to run away in a panic of ghosts and howling.
As for the tanks that were about to rush through the canyon... there were a lot of rockets waiting for them! (To be continued...)
