The first thing that came into play was the artillery. As I gave the order... the long-range artillery fire was opened according to the coordinates we had mapped before, and suddenly it was dark again... The Banwang area has been in bad luck these past two days.
, either they were bombed by the enemy's artillery or they were beaten by our artillery.
It's just that the Vietnamese army's artillery fire has basically lost its sound... Needless to say, the Vietnamese army's artillery shells have almost fired. They are desperate for this battle. The purpose of their artillery is to suppress our army's artillery fire and cover the entry of their armored troops.
Tongmian, so it seems that the Vietnamese army's artillery does not need any remaining shells. It was almost done after firing for such a long time.
So now it was our army's artillery's turn to show off its power. Each artillery shell hit the other side of the 518.6 Highland with a piercing scream, and then exploded into sheets and bursts of flames.
But it's a pity... the Tongmian area is in the blind spot of our army's artillery fire, so the Vietnamese armored vehicles drove forward unbridled. But this was what I had expected before, so this artillery fire was not intended to bomb the Vietnamese army.
armored vehicles, but to stop the charging infantry of the Vietnamese army from Tongmian.
You must know that the reason why we still have hope of defeating the Vietnamese armored forces in this battle is to destroy the infantry-tank coordination of the Vietnamese armored forces... If this allows the Vietnamese infantry to rush up and control the situation
, then there is no beginning.
So it is necessary to stop them with artillery fire!
Of course, our army's artillery did not undergo test firing after moving their positions... The test firing will expose the artillery position, so some artillery fire will have a large deviation, which will cause many gaps in the fire wall exploded by our army's artillery fire...
But this was not a big deal, because these infantrymen were guarded by a company and a mortar company stationed on the 518.6 Highlands. With the firing of flares, the explosion of machine guns and mortars... the gap was almost sealed in no time.
To put it simply, bullets and artillery shells were used to stop the charging infantry of the Vietnamese army from Tongmian.
Although the Vietnamese armored forces were aware of the intentions of our artillery, they did not take it to heart... The dozens of armored vehicles following behind were all filled with infantry. These infantry were enough to provide cover for the tanks!
Even the Vietnamese tank commander may have thought casually: "It doesn't matter whether the infantry comes up. We can take back the 518.6 heights ourselves, and all the credit will be ours!"
If it is based on the information known to the Vietnamese commander, it is indeed possible!
Dozens of tanks plus dozens of armored vehicles... This kind of firepower is more than enough to hit the squadron on the front slope, not to mention that the infantry mounted on the front of these forty armored vehicles has a reinforced battalion!
But what he didn't know was...the armored vehicles that followed him intentionally belonged to the enemy!
I grabbed the microphone with one hand and the armrest with the other hand, staring unblinkingly at the Vietnamese armored vehicle in front... The soldiers were already prepared, and the rocket launcher was lined up at the front of the door.
Shooter... Because we are fighting tanks and armored vehicles in this battle. We have increased the number of rocket launchers from one rocket launcher per class to two per class.
The others are still submachine gunners, but in addition to submachine guns, they also bring some blasting tubes, explosive bags and the like... Of course, in order to be effective at this time. The machine gunner has climbed up the turret and even moved the turret.
The heavy machine gun on the truck was aimed at the Vietnamese armored vehicles in front, and they waited for my order to start firing.
But I know that this is not the time to start fighting, because the Vietnamese armored vehicles are still driving... At this time, their reaction speed is still very fast. Once they find that something is wrong, they can just turn around and change direction to escape our sight.
.
Therefore, the most appropriate time to start fighting should be when the Vietnamese army stops the armored vehicles and lowers them... At this time, even if they realize that something is wrong, they are in a dilemma!
Finally, with an order from the Vietnamese commander in front, the armored troops' advance slowed down immediately. Then the tanks in front slowly advanced at a turtle speed, while the armored vehicles stopped and opened their doors.
Hatch...
"Fight!" As I gave the order, the battle began!
The first thing to attack was the turret on the top of the armored vehicle. The machine gun it was equipped with was a 14.5 mm caliber... Our army just connected two of these machine guns together and turned it into a Type 58 double-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun. Its power is so powerful
It's bigger than the Deshka helicopter
, so it is trivial to penetrate the 5 to 9 mm armor of an armored vehicle... So once the fight started, the armored vehicles in front of them made a "clang" sound like exploding beans, and then within two hits, they burst out from the inside.
There was a ball of fire and a scream...
This is the power of armor-piercing incendiary bombs. It can penetrate the armor and then burn in the front of the armored vehicle... This is of course fatal to the "thin-skinned and large-filled" armored vehicle.
At the same time, the soldiers also jumped out of the door the moment the armored vehicle stopped... This armored vehicle, even if you think it can provide the necessary defense just because it has a layer of armor, in fact, this guy is the enemy when it stops.
It is a good target for machine guns and rocket launchers, and because of its large size it is easy to hit, hence the nickname "Iron Coffin".
Therefore, the best way to avoid dying inside is to leave as quickly as possible and spread out.
Although the soldiers of the Second Company had not experienced relevant training, they still understood this. Moreover, every soldier knew what his goal was, so as soon as he jumped out of the car, he raised various weapons and fiercely moved forward.
beat……
Naturally, the submachine guns hit the Vietnamese troops who had already dismounted, the rocket launchers hit the armored vehicles, and the grenades were thrown forward one after another... They only hit the Vietnamese armored troops in front of them and screamed as they abandoned their armor.
For days.
At this time, the Vietnamese army didn't even know what was going on... Most of the Vietnamese soldiers had already died before they could figure out where the bullets came from. Some Vietnamese soldiers knew the direction from which the bullets came. But they didn't know where the bullets came from.
They didn't understand why their own people were beating their own people. Some of them guessed that the Chinese people had sneaked in, but what made them helpless was...who were their own people and who were the enemies in this dark night? Maybe they were around them.
They are not one of our own!
As a result, the Vietnamese armored forces quickly became chaotic, with gunshots, explosions, and shouts... People were shooting and running everywhere, but they were unable to organize a decent defense, or just just
The little defense they organized was defeated by our firepower.
But this doesn’t seem surprising. We were prepared or not, and it was still in the dark... So even though the Vietnamese army had three times our strength, and even though they were the elite 320th Division, they were still completely defeated by us.
No power to fight back.
Not long after our infantry got off the vehicle, our armored vehicle stepped on the accelerator and started to move... The armored vehicle's defense was too weak, and it could only rely on speed if it wanted to survive on the battlefield.
So this made the Vietnamese armored forces even worse... Ten armored vehicles with large-caliber high-altitude aircraft were running back and forth on the outside while sweeping at the armored vehicles and Vietnamese troops inside. On the other side were our infantry.
Rows of bullets and whistling rocket launchers were fired inside, and in an instant, the originally majestic armored formation turned into a sea of fire!
This change was so fast that even the Vietnamese tank troops walking in front were not aware of it...Tanks have these shortcomings, especially when entering the war zone and everyone is hiding inside, the perception outside the battlefield can only rely on the periscope.
and night vision goggles, and these periscopes
The mirrors and night vision goggles were all pointed forward, and the surroundings were filled with the sound of motors and the explosion of artillery shells, so the armored vehicle formation behind them was almost beaten and they didn't know anything about it...
This is why tanks must have infantry coordination.
At this time, the hatch cover of a tank opened, and a Vietnamese soldier holding a walkie-talkie came out from the inside to check the situation... At this sight, I couldn't help but be shocked. How could a large number of armored vehicles behind them...
In the blink of an eye, everything was turned into scrap metal! He was just about to grab the walkie-talkie and give orders to the tank troops, but I shot him down on the turret.
I have been waiting for him for a long time... Most of the people who will get out of the hatch to check the situation at this time are Vietnamese tank commanders, because only the tank commanders will open the hatch after calling the armored vehicle unit several times and finding no response.
Tank hatch cover observation situation!
Almost at the same time... the tanks of our 59th Army also joined the battle group. Fifteen tanks slowly came up from the smoke on the front under the guidance of the infantry... The night fighting ability of the 59th Army was indeed not good, but
The key point is that the mortar company on the 518.6 Highlands fired a row of illumination bombs at the right time. In an instant, the entire battlefield was illuminated as clear as day.
As a result, the Vietnamese tanks were in dire straits. Quite a few of them were using night vision goggles to move forward. When the bright light from the flares illuminated the night vision goggles, they turned into a piece of snowy white. And my tank driver
But he had already been mentally prepared, and now he took advantage of this moment to "boom" the tanks in front of him with a fierce volley, turning the first few Vietnamese tanks into a ball of fire on the spot.
!
At the same time, the soldiers on the 518.6 Highlands also showed off their power. Anti-tank missiles roared in one after another, slamming into the sides of those slow-moving tanks, and some even had to stop because they were blocked by tank wreckage.
At this time, the Vietnamese tank troops discovered that they had been surrounded by the Chinese army... On the side was the pathless 518.6 highland, on the front were Chinese tanks with infantry and tank coordination, and it was unknown when the Chinese tanks were behind.
The infantry made a sneak attack...
In fact, what the Vietnamese army doesn't know is... ever since the Vietnamese armored forces were defeated by us, their defeat has been determined! The reason is very simple, they have no infantry cover! (To be continued...)
