"No matter what method you use!" I couldn't hold myself back after hearing the news. I grabbed the correspondent's microphone and ordered Scar on the other end: "You have to knock down this line of defense within ten minutes.
!”
The reason why I am so anxious is that I am worried that the Vietnamese army at Position 3 is prepared. If this continues, this battle will definitely become more and more difficult to fight. The other reason is because it is almost dawn...
Our original plan was to capture Faka Mountain before dawn... Darkness is an advantage for our attack, although we have been avoiding night battles with the Vietnamese army... This point was made by the Vietnamese army
Their quality and coordination are better than our army, and they are more familiar with the terrain than our army.
But it’s different now... You must know that we are an agent company now, and we have undergone targeted and systematic training... I am not bragging. The current agent company has excellent combat quality, combat experience, and the coordination of various parts.
They are much stronger than the Vietnamese army, not to mention that our army is still "sneak attack" at this time, so this night battle is naturally beneficial to our army.
After taking down Faka Mountain... then the next step is to defend, needless to say, defense... Naturally, it is advantageous during the day, and the view is good, right? We just need to put all these equipment on Faka Mountain.
The Vietnamese army can be suppressed at the foot of the mountain from a long distance.
This will undoubtedly buy time for our engineers to build fortifications. During the day...the engineers' fortifications are almost completed, so we can hold on to them at night.
It is precisely because of this consideration that we set the start time at five o'clock in the morning... We planned to capture Faka Mountain within an hour, and then it was time to defend and build fortifications!
but……
Now that a hidden line of defense has appeared out of thin air, it has disrupted the entire plan. Once this line of defense is allowed to last until dawn... our "sneak attack" plan will be over.
"Yes!" Scar responded, but after hesitating for a moment... he reported awkwardly: "Battal Commander... what if... there are casualties?"
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping also advised from the side: "This defense line cannot be attacked forcefully... Faka Mountain is only more than a hundred meters wide. Just two machine guns can block this side. What's more, the Vietnamese army still has two
A class..."
"Yeah!" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
Scar and Zhao Jingping's worries are justified. A strong attack will naturally cause casualties. Although we are an agent company, and there are helicopters to cooperate... I believe they are fully capable of taking down this line of defense in a short time.
!
However……
On the one hand, the superiors originally had restrictions on the number of casualties in this battle.
On the other hand... I can't bear to let my soldiers hit the enemy's guns... These are my brothers who have been with me for many years!
"Counselor Zhao!" the instructor said anxiously: "If we capture this line of defense... it will affect the victory of the entire battle! At that time... we will only suffer losses..."
What the instructor said makes sense... You must know that this battle has already begun, and our two platoons of agent companies have been placed behind Faka Mountain. If the battle is allowed to develop like this... the result will undoubtedly be a tragedy.
So it won't work even if we fight, or if we don't fight... This moment made everyone in the command plane very embarrassed!
"Battal Commander!" King Chuang suggested from the side: "Let the mortar troops and helicopter troops cooperate with the special agent company to take down this defense line!"
This idea is a good one... You must know that every soldier in our agent company will report the coordinates, and there are artillery observers on the helicopters, so that they can guide the mortar troops to blast through the hidden defense line, and the helicopters can also cooperate.
Bombing... This is the strength of our combined battalion, isn't it? It can easily achieve effective coordination of air, infantry and artillery.
But this plan was quickly rejected by Zhao Jingping...
"Listen to the report of the second company commander just now..." Zhao Jingping shook his head and said: "Many of this hidden defense line is composed of tunnel fortifications and traffic trenches. We all know the tunnel fortifications... It doesn't take mortars and rockets to cause damage to them.
A blow!"
We all fell silent after hearing this... We have all built tunnels on the battlefield. Of course we know how strong this thing is.
By the way, the Yue Jap now has a set of anti-slope fortifications built... The tunnel not only hides troops and stores things... but also turns it into a firepower point!
"Battal Commander!" Ding Chengdong suggested: "We can order the soldiers of the second battalion to attack this line of defense from the flanks..."
This suggestion is not bad... the two platoons of the second battalion are at positions 4 and 5 on both sides... they only need to bypass these two positions from the side to reach the flanks of this line of defense... and the weakest line of defense
The location is the flank, and even the enemy coming up from the flank cannot be seen in the tunnel of the Vietnamese army!
But Zhao Jingping quickly shook his head: "I'm afraid that's not possible... Not to mention that the two wings of Faka Mountain are steep and difficult to navigate and are full of mines. Once the Vietnamese army discovers that the Second Battalion is moving towards the two wings... the troops of the Second Battalion will be attacked.
A flanking attack on positions 3, 4 or 3, 5 of the Vietnamese army..."
So this plan was quickly rejected!
Now I was so anxious that I was scratching my head and ears... There was only one word in my mind, whether it was "the lesser of two evils"!
And as time goes by, it seems that I have less and less choice... But when I think about the possibility that the agent company will suffer heavy casualties, I can't say this order!
Suddenly I had an idea... I grabbed the mobile phone and ordered: "Second Company Commander... Immediately launch a feint attack on the Vietnamese defense line, and fire a few smoke grenades to cover the second row's attack!"
"Yes!" Scar agreed without thinking.
Although he didn't know the purpose of what I asked him to do, the tight time on the battlefield did not allow him to ask any more questions.
"Second platoon leader!" Then I contacted Li Zuolong... Li Zuolong's platoon is used as a reserve team, and it comes in handy in this emergency.
"Here!" Li Zuolong responded on the other end of the phone.
"This hidden defense line of the Vietnamese army will be left to you!" I said: "The company commander will launch a feint attack on the enemy and launch smoke bombs... You will directly drop to the Vietnamese army's defense line to attack the enemy, especially
The Vietnamese army's tunnels... use the tactic of rappelling attacks, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Pay attention to cooperating with the company commander!" I said: "Avoid accidental injuries!"
"yes!"
When I put down the phone, my hanging heart was slightly relieved... I am quite confident in the cooperation between the agent companies. This is what they usually practice, and because they have been fighting together for a long time... they
They all understand each other very well and have a tacit understanding.
On the other hand, to deal with the hidden defense line of the Vietnamese army, it seems that direct airdrop by helicopter is also very suitable... As for the hidden defense line, in order to achieve the purpose of concealment, there must be some camouflage on the top... Otherwise, the purpose of concealment will not be achieved at all.
As a result, it would be difficult for them to respond quickly to the helicopter troops that suddenly arrived above their heads, especially the tunnels of the Vietnamese army... You must know that the tunnels are solid, but the only sight is the entrance of the tunnel.
The obtained angle, as for the top of the head... Even if we pee on it, I'm afraid they won't be able to notice it!
Zhao Jingping and other staff members listened to my order and nodded in agreement. But because the battle had already begun, they consciously did not speak and waited for the report of the battle situation on the walkie-talkie!
Just like what I thought... because of their long-term cooperation, Li Zuolong and Scar's two troops cooperated quite well... They made the necessary contact in the shortest time, and the battle started two minutes later.
First, Scar's troops launched a feint attack against the Vietnamese army... The purpose of this feint attack was not just to attract the Vietnamese army's firepower and attention. It also had the intention of discovering as many of the Vietnamese army's firepower points as possible.
Of course, because this was just a feint attack, and the soldiers shot out of sight of the Vietnamese army and moved their positions appropriately, there were not many casualties.
Then, Scar thought that when the time was right...the time mentioned here meant that he had basically mastered the Vietnamese army's light and dark firepower points. As for the bright firepower points... Needless to say, he reported the coordinates to the helicopter and let the helicopter deal with it.
As for this hidden firepower point... the hidden firepower point is the firepower point formed by the entrance of the tunnel. This kind of firepower point is difficult for helicopters and mortars to deal with, and many firepower points in this hidden line of defense are composed of tunnel entrances. This kind of firepower point
Needless to say, it is natural for Li Zuolong and others to fight...
Scar first fired several rounds of smoke grenades at the enemy's position. At almost the same time, our mortar troops fired a few rounds of smoke grenades at the Vietnamese Army's No. 3 position, followed by several rounds of smoke grenades... This was all for Li Zuolong and others.
Helicopters enter the battlefield to prepare.
Then let the soldiers fire a few rows of tracer bullets... Needless to say, the function of this thing is to indicate the target for the helicopter troops, such as the position of the Vietnamese army's defense line and the location of the tunnel. The other is to indicate the helicopter troops' own position.
.
After that is over, it’s time for the helicopter formation to enter the battlefield...
This batch of helicopters coming up were carefully prepared... Each of these ten helicopters only carried 3 people, and they just happened to take one of Li Zuolong's platoons with them.
The task distribution of these three people is like this... two people carry AK74 and grenades to prepare to rappel to the ground for combat, and one person carries a sniper rifle or light machine gun to provide fire cover for the two people on the helicopter. In this situation with poor visibility,
Next... In fact, light machine guns are more practical, of course sniper rifles are also necessary... Even because there are few helicopter interceptors at this time, some soldiers responsible for covering carry both sniper rifles and light machine guns... Anyway, they are all
On a helicopter, there is no problem of inconvenience in maneuvering.
Precisely because there are fewer people to intercept, the helicopter can carry more ammunition.
With the "whirring" sound of helicopter propellers breaking through the air... ten helicopters lined up in a straight line and rushed towards Faka Mountain in the direction indicated by the tracer bullets...
