As soon as the hidden defense line was captured, it was captured in a very short period of time... The whole battle only lasted fifteen minutes. In addition, ten helicopters of our army illuminated Position 3 from the reverse slope.
Indiscriminate bombing... This actually kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it suppresses the firepower of the Vietnamese army so that it cannot pose a threat to our helicopters. On the other hand... it further attacks and destroys the defense of Position 3.
You must know that although Position 3 is the main position of the Vietnamese army...the Vietnamese army has the largest number of troops deployed here, with a platoon. But their defense directions are all facing the front slope of Faka Mountain...I suddenly discovered that
An enemy situation appeared on the reverse slope, so we hurriedly turned our guns and prepared to build a new line of defense to resist our offensive.
but……
Before they had time to prepare...the rockets and machine gun bullets from the helicopter rained down on their heads, and they were beaten into a mess within a few hits.
In other words... Position No. 3 at this time is almost an undefended line of defense for our army... In addition, our army's strength on the reverse slope is as many as three platoons. With three platoons of elite troops,
Fighting an unprepared Vietnamese platoon, coupled with the reconnaissance and cooperation of helicopters... So the battle at Position 3 almost ended with a shout from our army.
As soon as Position No. 3 was in our hands... the defense of Faka Mountain collapsed like a cocoon. The soldiers of the special agent company fired their machine guns at Position No. 3... without even using a machine gun, they hid directly.
In the bunker in position No. 3, I grabbed the machine gun of the Vietnamese and pointed it at No. 4 in front of me. Position No. 5 fired a burst of fire, which only made the Vietnamese army howl and collapse.
After that, the soldiers of the second battalion cooperated and rushed to the Vietnamese army positions 4 and 5... All three positions in Faka Mountain were under the control of our army!
"good!"
"victory!"
"Down with the Japanese devils!"
…
Soon the soldiers cheered one after another on the battlefield.
Of course, these cheers were all shouted out by the soldiers of the Second Battalion... As for our combined battalion, we have long passed the era of cheering loudly and excitedly after winning a battle. They soon consciously divided into two groups.
Part of it is to continue searching for remnants of the enemy... This is for us
It is quite necessary. We who have fought against the Yue Japanese know that... the patience of the Yue Japanese is quite amazing. It is very likely that even if they are injured, they will hide in the corpse without making a sound until our army relaxes their vigilance.
Then he set off a grenade or explosive pack and rushed forward.
Therefore, the task of this part is to ensure that there is not a single living Jie on the battlefield... As for the prisoners, due to the limitations of the situation and the battle situation, we were ordered to take no prisoners in this battle.
This is not that we are making excuses... One is because the Vietnamese prisoners are very dangerous. If they are not careful, they will seize the opportunity to make small moves. This will undoubtedly cause unnecessary casualties to our troops, and our mission in this battle is
It was to avoid casualties as much as possible, so we had no choice but to take no prisoners.
On the other hand, it is because the front of Faka Mountain is very narrow... It is only more than a hundred meters long, and there are only a few trails that can be used to walk normally... If you still have to escort the prisoners down the mountain, it is very likely to cause trouble.
The roads are congested and the fighter jets are wasted.
Because of these two items, it is normal not to capture prisoners... But then again, in the process of fighting the Vietnamese Japanese, our army rarely captured prisoners. Even if it could capture... only a few
The soldier went up and suppressed a wounded soldier who was grabbing and biting him. For such a prisoner, he
We can be arrested or not, and no one can say that we are violating any international convention... And it will take a lot of effort to catch us, and we will take many risks. If we don't catch it, it can be solved with one bullet. In addition,
The soldiers had a deep-seated hatred for the Vietnamese Japanese, so the soldiers were naturally happy and chose not to arrest them.
While the soldiers of the combined battalion were busy... many soldiers from the second battalion took off and ran towards position 3...
I can understand their feelings. Among the soldiers of the special agent company, there is their "master". Now they have won the battle under the leadership of the "master". Of course, they want to reminisce or communicate with the "master"
Get combat experience or something.
but……
"You don't want your life!" I heard Scar shouting an order to the soldiers on the walkie-talkie: "Go back and build fortifications immediately!"
Facts have also proved that Scar is right... Because before Scar finished speaking, there was a whistle of artillery shells in the sky, followed by a "rumbling" sound... Pieces of artillery shells were falling on Faka Mountain.
There was an explosion on the top of the mountain.
But luckily... the agent company on Position 3 was well prepared for this. They had dug cat-ear holes on the reverse slope. At this time, it was basically no problem to just hide in these cat-ear holes.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion on positions 4 and 5... Although they were not prepared, they did not cause many casualties because position 3 was higher and blocked most of the artillery shells.
This is an old trick played by the Japanese... Once they are sure that the position has been lost, they will not care whether there are any remaining soldiers on it, but they will take advantage of the enemy before they can gain a foothold and blast it with artillery.
After this artillery fire passed... the movements of the soldiers of the special agent company slowed down. Because they knew that... the Vietnamese Japanese would not fire artillery for a while... This was determined by the fact that the artillery of the Vietnamese army was not as powerful as our army.
, this is doomed that the Vietnamese Japanese can only choose to fire one artillery piece and change another place, otherwise they will be completely wiped out by our artillery.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Second Battalion... only realized that the war was not over after being bombarded by this round of artillery fire, so they hurriedly began to build fortifications.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shake my head... Three days of training was too short. We taught the Second Battalion how to cooperate with our air force. But we couldn't teach them more tactics and experience.
"Battle Commander Yang!" At this time, Commander Liang's voice rang out from the walkie-talkie handed over by the correspondent: "What a good fight! What a beautiful fight... This battle really opened our eyes. My staff officer
Everyone said that they didn’t know until now that helicopters can have such a surprise effect, and everyone is so impressed with your combined battalion!"
"Thank you, Mr. Liang!" I have heard compliments like this too many times, so my answers are always the same.
"How is it? Have the casualties been counted?" Commander Liang asked next.
"Report to the teacher!" I replied: "I haven't had time to count them yet!"
"Well!" Commander Liang said confidently: "In fact, there is no need to use statistics... Judging from the course of this battle, it can be said that there was no frontal attack, but several very beautiful sneak attacks in a row, and the final move
Take down Faka Mountain within the specified time... I believe that the casualties in this battle must be within the range we can bear! If we can inflict heavy casualties in this battle... then there is no way to fight with less casualties.
!”
As he spoke, Mr. Liang laughed happily.
After a pause, he continued: "Thank you, Battalion Commander Yang... So, should we replace the agent company now?"
Commander Liang's words speak to my heart... Speaking of our special agent company, it is an elite force that pays attention to the coordination of various arms. They are more suitable for raids or attacking important strategic targets... As the saying goes, it is good.
Steel must be used on the blade. If such an elite team is used to defend Fakashan... it seems to be overkill!
But I hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Commander Liang, I think it is not appropriate to withdraw the agent company now!"
"Oh, how do you say that?" Mr. Liang was a little surprised by this.
"I'm worried that the Vietnamese army will not give up!" I said: "The Vietnamese army's next tactic... is most likely to use artillery to harass Faka Mountain..."
This is a common tactic used by the Vietnamese army. This harassment includes two aspects. On the one hand, it directly bombards the artillery shells on Faka Mountain, making it difficult for our army to build complete fortifications. On the other hand, it hits our logistics supply lines with artillery shells.
, making it difficult for our army to supply and reinforce.
This is not a problem for the Vietnamese army... They have occupied Faka Mountain for a long time. I am afraid they have already calculated the coordinates around Faka Mountain clearly and even conducted test firings.
As for the Vietnamese army's artillery being suppressed by our army's artillery...as long as the Vietnamese army fires artillery and changes places, it will be difficult for our army's artillery to grasp their whereabouts in time.
"So..." I said: "In this case... I don't think the Second Battalion has the ability to build complete fortifications and block the Vietnamese counterattack at night. And once the Second Battalion loses its position at night... then
All our victories will be in vain!"
Teacher Liang was silent for a while on the phone, and finally responded: "Well...it's all thanks to your hard work for the synthesis camp!"
I can actually understand Commander Liang's mood. You must know that they are one division... but they can't find a reliable unit that can hold position No. 3, and they have to rely on other units to defend it... This is very difficult for them.
It is a shame for the entire division. But on the other hand... he also knows that my analysis is right. This No. 3 position is too important. Once it is lost... we can no longer capture it with the previous sneak attack method.
When I come back, I really don’t know how to defeat Faka Mountain.
So after careful consideration... Commander Liang finally decided to save his troops' face first and chose to let the combined battalion guard position 3.
"Let's do this!" Commander Liang continued: "I will give you full command of the battle on Faka Mountain, including the second battalion!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be startled... I secretly thought that Commander Liang is really flexible and flexible. If this matter spreads... it means that there is no one in the whole division who can command the battle of Faka Mountain. This will put his face as a division commander.
ah!
However, Mr. Liang didn’t worry about this anymore, so naturally I stopped being rigid and stood up and said, “Yes!”
So the burden of the Battle of Faka Mountain fell on my shoulders...
