As soon as these ten helicopters came up, they fired machine guns and rockets at Position 3...
For helicopters, their biggest enemy is the enemy on position 3... Because of the height difference, the enemies on position 3 can directly threaten the sides of the helicopter... This is the biggest factor in our rappel attack.
risk.
Fortunately, the performance of our Z-5 is not very good in all aspects, but the firepower that bursts out instantly is extraordinary... Each helicopter carries two rocket nests and an anti-aircraft machine gun... There are two of these ten helicopters.
Ten rocket nests and ten anti-aircraft machine guns were activated at the same time...The bullets and rockets were raining down towards Position 3 like raindrops.
Position No. 3 is only so big...it can't withstand our indiscriminate bombing, so there is no firepower that can resist and threaten our helicopters.
The disadvantage of this move is that it cannot be sustained for a long time... You must know that the rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun and the rocket nest is quite fast. The theoretical rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun reaches 500 to 600 rounds per minute, which means it can carry several thousand rounds.
As soon as the bullets were loaded... they were all shot within a few minutes. Not to mention the rocket nest... it quickly emptied after a "whoosh".
But these times are completely enough for us... The reason is that only two people on each helicopter need to rappel to the ground for combat... It takes about two minutes for ten people to rappel, and only ten seconds for two people.
Just slide down with a "chirp" and it'll be fine!
However, this rappelling operation is not as simple as it sounds...
First of all, the helicopter must hover accurately over or near the Vietnamese army's defense line... Theoretically, there is no problem if it hovers slightly behind the Vietnamese army's defense line, but this will give the Vietnamese army some time to react, which is difficult.
Achieve the effect of surprise.
It is quite difficult to do this... You must know that it is in the dark at this time. Although the helicopter is also equipped with night flying equipment, it is difficult to distinguish the enemy's position in a short time relying on these relatively simple equipment.
Most of the time...pilots still rely on tracer bullets fired by ground troops or sparks from the muzzles of Vietnamese troops to determine their location.
This is definitely a problem for the pilots... On one hand, they have to control the weapons to accurately suppress the Vietnamese troops on Position 3, and on the other hand, they have to control the helicopter to accurately hover over the target... This can almost be said
This is something that can only be accomplished with three heads and six arms!
However, the pilots still managed it, and only one of the ten helicopters deviated from the target due to being attacked by Vietnamese firepower... To be honest, this result surprised even me.
Later, I learned that this was not just about the high level of the pilots. The ground troops led by Scar took the initiative to get in touch with the helicopters and guided them on the ground...for example, more to the left, more to the right...so the combat effect
It’s amazing!
This action seems very simple, but in fact it requires a highly coordinated force like the combined battalion to do it... The reason is that it is in the dark and there is smoke everywhere. The ground troops can barely see the helicopter, which is good.
It was impossible to tell which helicopter he was cooperating with...
Zheng Liangqiang's approach is to use the fastest method to group helicopters...for example, which coordinates of the target are the two helicopters responsible for, and to contact the soldiers responsible for guidance from the ground forces in advance. In this way, as soon as the helicopters come up...the helicopters flying to this location will
That’s right!
Then let’s look at the performance of Li Zuolong and his men...
Following Li Zuolong's order, the soldiers slid from the helicopter towards the target with their guns in hand... because the helicopter happened to be hovering over or near the target...
As for whether it's nearby or in the sky, it depends on the situation.
If the target is a communication trench... it is usually near the communication trench... The reason is that there are likely to be enemies in the communication trench. If the soldiers descend straight down, they will most likely be killed by the enemy before they can react!
On the contrary, if you hover near the traffic trench... while the soldiers are still sliding down in the air, you can throw one or two grenades into the traffic trench, and then as soon as your feet land on the ground, you can launch an attack towards the traffic trench with your gun!
If the target is a firepower point consisting of a tunnel entrance, it goes without saying that it will naturally hover over it... At this time, the soldier who slid down was holding a grenade or a small weapon that had already lit the fuse.
Explosive bag... If the explosive bag is too big and heavy, it will be inconvenient to throw, and the rope will intentionally swing when rappelling...
When they slid to the entrance of the tunnel... they used the inertia of the rope swing to throw a grenade or explosive pack into the entrance of the tunnel...
So when their feet landed on the ground, the desperate screams of the Vietnamese army came from the entrance of the tunnel, followed by a roar.
Among them, Li Zuolong did the most beautiful job... Later, I heard from the soldiers who worked with him that he didn't even use explosive bags. Instead, he put an upside-down golden hook on the rope... and directly grabbed the AK74.
He was hung upside down to the upper part of the tunnel entrance of the Vietnamese army, and then he fired a bunch of bullets into the tunnel with a bang. Then he turned over and rushed into the tunnel to fight with the Vietnamese soldiers inside...
This is Li Zuolong's specialty. He often feels that shooting with enemies from a distance is not enough, and prefers to fight in close combat with Yue Japs... He is good at it, and such close combat is actually what Yue Japs are most afraid of. It is a tunnel.
It was full of Vietnamese troops... and it was still dark. Suddenly an enemy broke in, and all the Vietnamese troops were stunned... No one could tell whether the people next to them were friends or foes.
Neither does a gun. Nor does not firing a gun...
And what about Li Zuolong?
The only one who knows who is the enemy and who is the friend... Because he is the only one who breaks in, it is obvious... Anyone who can stand is the enemy!
So there were guns, knives and hands... In a few moments, Li Zuolong beat down seven or eight Vietnamese Japs in a tunnel!
Of course, this is not an attack method that I advocate... It's just that this guy Li Zuolong... I don't know how he became a monk before. He seems to be very murderous... But this murderous intention seems to be only against the enemy, just like
Like when he returned to secular life because he accidentally killed a robber.
In addition, the army really needs a few cadres with personality like him to take the lead... Not to mention. With a platoon leader like him taking the lead, all the soldiers under him have become very brave, and during daily training
I learned some skills from the platoon leader Li Zuolong, and the second platoon he led became the best at close combat in the agent company. This is one of the reasons why I arranged them as a reserve team.
The Vietnamese army has never seen an offensive like ours, so in just a few minutes... this hidden defense line fell into the hands of our army!
