When our armored convoy was organized into an armored convoy by the Vietnamese, I couldn't believe my luck!
There are thirty armored vehicles of the Vietnamese Army. Judging from the tanks of this type, the Vietnamese army will not be in the minority... It takes more than thirty armored vehicles to carry infantry to cover the tanks. If a squad of infantry cooperates with a tank,
So that means there are more than thirty tanks.レ♠レ
But this does not seem surprising. Thirty tanks are a tank battalion... You must know that this is almost the last chance for the 320th Division of the Vietnamese Army to recapture Banwang, so the artillery and tanks... of course, they must use all possible means.
Too many troops.
Besides, the Vietnamese army knew that our army had fifteen tanks, so it was not surprising that they would send more than thirty tanks up... Fifteen tanks were used to deal with Chinese tanks, and the other fifteen were used to attack and support the attack on the high ground.
... Only in this way can we successfully win the 518.6 high ground with lightning speed or with a big score!
Thinking of this, I thought to myself that I was lucky... If the thirty-odd tanks of the Vietnamese army were able to successfully capture Tongmian... then our combined battalion would have to be suppressed and beaten.
Not to mention that the thirty-odd tanks all have tank guns... Even the sixty-odd anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles will make us unbearable... There will be nothing left to fight in this battle, the Vietnamese army
All kinds of armored vehicles suppressed us with firepower, and the infantry charged one after another... The battle could be over in ten minutes.
And what's even more amazing is that we have no place to run if we want to... There is only one place on the 518.6 Highland that is relatively flat, towards Tongmian, but this place is blocked by the Vietnamese armored troops and a large number of infantry. All other directions are blocked.
It's very steep, and just like what we just saw...the Vietnamese army has already built a defensive line and is ready to block our army's retreat.
Therefore, if this battle proceeds according to the Vietnamese commander's vision, our battalion will most likely be wiped out in the end. Then the 320th Division will not only regain the face it lost before, but also gain glory...
...They can even brag: "The reason why 518.6 Highland was taken away by the Chinese *** Team this time is actually because our army lured the enemy deep into the territory, intentionally giving up the high ground to the Chinese *** Team and then annihilated it in one fell swoop!"
In war, the right to speak has always belonged to the victor. Regarding this, the most appropriate way to describe this point is to use an ancient Chinese saying, "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit."
But now it seems that this battle will not go as smoothly as the Vietnamese commander imagined... because we have successfully integrated into the Vietnamese armored forces.
What are the Vietnamese armored forces waiting for?
When I think about it, I understand that they are waiting for tank troops... Armored vehicles are much faster than tanks, especially compared to tanks with poor night vision capabilities (the Vietnamese tank formation may have T62s with strong night vision capabilities.
There may also be old American tanks), so the problem of coordination between tank formations and armored vehicle formations arises.
There are actually several options here. One is to let the armored vehicles slow down and follow the tanks... But obviously this is not a good way. The reason is that if the armored vehicles and tanks advance together, the troops will be too large... Three
A dozen tanks plus more than thirty armored vehicles are a large area of darkness. If the enemy is covered by artillery fire, more than half of it will be covered. In particular, the advantage of armored vehicles is that they are fast. Let them slow down and follow the tanks...
In fact, the greatest advantage is abandoned.
The second step is to calculate the time well, stagger the departure times of the two troops, and then have the two troops arrive at their destinations almost at the same time.
This method sounds perfect, but it is actually not in line with the reality of the battlefield. The reason is that the tank needs infantry cover at all times...otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be ambushed by the enemy.
Therefore, the coordination between armored vehicles and tanks sometimes adopts the method of follow-up step by step...that is, the armored vehicles take advantage of their speed and relatively good sensitivity to the battlefield to advance, and while advancing, they cooperate with the motorized department's reconnaissance to separate from the tank troops.
After a certain distance, they will find a place to take cover and wait for the tanks to follow... Especially when they are about to enter the main battlefield, the armored troops will have to stop and wait for the tank troops to go first.
The Vietnamese armored force that we have integrated now is, I think, the armored force that is waiting for the Vietnamese tank force.
But it was obvious that this Vietnamese armored unit did not know that ten armored vehicles would join their team on the way... because at this time, a Vietnamese officer turned around on the turret and shouted at us: "Which unit are you from? Commander
Who is it?"
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this... We did study Ban Wang's unit numbers before we went to the battlefield, but the Vietnamese armored unit in front of us is obviously not Ban Wang's unit. Besides...
...There are many infantrymen from Banwang around us. If I say that I am a certain unit that was originally stationed at Banwang, then my secret will be exposed in two and a half times!
To put it simply... the Vietnamese infantry in Ban Wang thought that we were from the Vietnamese armored force, and the Vietnamese armor department thought that we were from Ban Wang... so we could "get along in peace" before, but the Vietnamese officer asked this question
... We can no longer hide it.
But I did not hesitate, because I knew that the more hesitated at this time, the more suspicious the other party would be, so I immediately replied: "Sir, we are..."
When I said yes, I deliberately lengthened my voice a little longer, and then waited until I heard the roar of a nearby artillery shell before continuing: "The third regiment..."
When I said the word "three", it was exactly the time when the bomb exploded, and I deliberately lowered my voice, so no one around actually heard the number.
I noticed that the Vietnamese officer opposite was not suspicious, so I loudly said: "Our commander's name is Nguyen Van Chan!"
I feel confident when I say this, because even if each other doesn't know the name, the Vietnamese infantry and armored soldiers will guess each other... This may be someone from the other side's army, so they don't know it.
So I was fooled into this matter...
But unexpectedly, the Vietnamese officer quickly raised the microphone in his hand and ordered me: "Put in your communications!"
"Yes!" I responded and got into the armored vehicle as if conveying an order... But in fact, I was secretly complaining. Our communication and the communication of the Japanese were completely different.
of……
But it can be said that this request of the Vietnamese army is not excessive at all... Only by connecting the communications can unified command be achieved!
But this also means that we will soon be discovered by the Vietnamese army... I didn't expect that in the end we would fall down on this trivial matter!
Forget it! Let’s just fight with the Yue Japanese. We can’t hide it anyway... we can fight as many as we can!
Thinking of this, I immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie to give the order to start fighting... However, at this moment, a Vietnamese shout suddenly came from outside: "Everyone is here, get ready to fight!"
At this time, my head couldn't help but buzz. Could it be that the Japanese Japanese discovered the problem first?
Impossible! There was no doubt at all on the face of that Vietnamese officer just now!
Next, I heard a Vietnamese officer yell: "Comrades! Let's go show those Chinese people a little color! Let them know how powerful our 320th Division is!"
"Long live the 320th Division!"
…
Then there was another shouting after another... Then I knew that I had misunderstood the meaning of the Vietnamese army. They were getting ready to set off!
Then I couldn't help but feel happy... Does this mean that the Vietnamese tank troops have come up? Does it mean that the attack on Highland 518.6 is about to begin? More importantly... does the Vietnamese officer have no time?
Do you care if our communication is connected?!!
Things turned out just as I expected. After a while, there was a roar of a motor on the other side, and then the Vietnamese officer waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"
The armored troops surged up out of the valley like a long dragon... We armored vehicles were the last ones to arrive, so we naturally walked at the end.
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, I was still startled by the formation as soon as the armored vehicle came out of the valley... Looking forward through the observation hole of the armored vehicle, there were tanks and armored vehicles everywhere in the night, and occasionally a few artillery shells.
If it explodes near us, the fire will illuminate this armored force like a torrent of steel... Not to mention other things, the dust raised by the tracks and the exhaust from the diesel engine will make people gasp.
Can't help but feel angry.
Originally, I thought the fifteen tanks of our combined battalion were impressive enough, but compared with the troops in front of me... they were far behind.
At this point, I couldn't help but feel a little scared... Can we beat this team in front of us?
After a rough calculation, the Vietnamese armored force is indeed as I guessed before... there are more than 30 armored vehicles and more than 30 tanks, although I did see some old-fashioned M41 and M60 tanks among them... Actually
The m60 tank is still very practical for armored forces, because it can be converted into an engineering vehicle at any time. It can fight on the battlefield and be used as a tool for engineers. It does not need to carry a bulldozer on the road like our combined battalion.
And the crane.
However, even if the Vietnamese army uses m41 and m60 tanks with weak combat effectiveness to replenish their numbers, these thirty tanks are still twice as many as our army's tanks... not to mention that the combat effectiveness and quality of our army's 59 tanks are not very good!
"Battal Commander! What should I do?" the guard beside him couldn't help but asked: "There are so many enemy tanks..."
"What should I do?" I cursed angrily: "Pass the order and prepare to fight!"
At this time, we actually have no way out, we can only use all our strength to fight!
