The Vietnamese army thought we were equipped with night vision devices... The reason why this was not a good thing is that it prevented the Vietnamese Japanese from attacking Faka Mountain with traditional tactics... using traditional holes to touch or dig each other's ear holes for tug-saw.
The tactic of war is no longer applicable. The Japanese believe that in this kind of war, enemies equipped with night vision devices will definitely take advantage of it.
I also know this... This does not mean that I feel keen. In fact, even the staff under my command know that the Japanese are definitely planning a bigger attack...
...It's just that we don't know what method the Vietnamese army will use to fight this Faka Mountain, or... Even the Vietnamese Japanese have not thought about what method to fight this Faka Mountain.
The battle was silent for five days under this depressing atmosphere...
During these five days, the Vietnamese Japanese did not even collect the dead bodies on the Faka Mountain... By the way, we also sent out flyers in Vietnamese several times to ask the Vietnamese Japanese to collect the bodies. This is our war with the Vietnamese Japanese.
Habits... The Vietnamese army has always attached great importance to the shelter of soldiers' corpses due to morale. Sometimes our army snipers can even use the Vietnamese corpses to lure the Vietnamese army to lure them into the ears... This is a very strange phenomenon, in peace.
People in the world may not be able to imagine that... Living people will sacrifice for dead bodies, but the battlefield is sometimes so unreasonable, and not only does the Vietnamese army do this, but our army will do this too!
However, this time the Vietnamese army was abnormal... No matter how we shouted, the Vietnamese Japanese just didn't come to collect the corpses...
I considered it... In summary, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army would not collect the body because of the following points:
One is to make these corpses smell bad and disgusted with us Chinese soldiers stationed on Mount Faka... This may be very inhumane, or the Vietnamese army disrespects their soldiers... But I want the Vietnamese army to command.
There should be considerations in this regard, because our soldiers are indeed deeply affected by it...
You know, this is Vietnam, and it is the hot weather in May... Hundreds of corpses lie on this Faka Mountain and are sunburned by the sun. They start to rot in less than a day. Then the corpses burst out and bursts in the air.
The stench... Our soldiers couldn't even bury them if they wanted to. The Vietnamese snipers and artillery observers were hiding in the dark and staring at us!
For this... the soldiers of the Agent Company are pretty good. After all, they all crawled out of this sea of corpse and blood. When they were fighting with the Vietnamese devils, they had never smelled the stench of corpse, so they didn't even take it.
Take it seriously.
It just made the second battalion suffer... Although this second battalion is also a unit that has been fought in 1979, many of them are new recruits who joined later... This is a feature of ordinary troops, and the main reason is that our army
In the 1979 self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, serious staff reductions, coupled with the subsequent layoffs... the troops inevitably need to add a group of new recruits.
This is also in line with the needs of our army to improve the cultural quality of the troops... Cut off some soldiers with poor quality and supplement some soldiers with cultural foundations... Of course, this is impossible to replace them all with ancient brains.
The reason is that although the veterans have low level of education, they have combat experience, which is what the new recruits lack, so they have to take their blood exchange slowly... so that the new recruits can have the opportunity to train and learn in the army.
Just like this second battalion... there are more than 400 people in the battalion, of which more than 180 new recruits, accounting for almost half of the total number... In addition, only soldiers from military academy can promote this regulation...
So it can be imagined that the troops were undergoing a major blood change at this time.
And this Vietnam battlefield... is actually the training ground for our army to train these new recruits with cultural foundations!
This is also the reason why the Second Battalion is a veteran unit... but its performance on the battlefield is a bit unsatisfactory. There are too many new recruits, and they need time to train and study.
It is precisely because of this... the stinking of corpses made the soldiers of the Second Battalion stationed in positions 4 and 5 miserable, just because they saw that the agents of positions 3 were fine and even the soldiers were eating and sleeping...
So I didn't dare to speak much.
Secondly, the corpse is good for the charge of the Vietnamese army... The position is full of broken limbs and broken arms and corpses, right? These things are mixed with soil and gravel, and will be the next time for the Vietnamese army.
Charge provides a good protection, and the Japanese only need to lie on the ground... it is difficult to tell whether he is a living person or a corpse.
But these are secondary... After all, the matter of not collecting corpses will have some blow to the morale of the Vietnamese army. If it were just because of these two points... the Vietnamese commander also knew that this would be very likely to be less than the cost.
It seems that some benefits are obtained on the surface, but in fact it makes the Vietnamese army unwilling to sacrifice to become the next corpse to be used on this Faka Mountain!
So the most important thing... the Vietnamese army doesn't want us to get a breather and transport supplies and cement prefabricated parts to Faka Mountain!
This is indeed accurate for the Japanese devils... because we really plan to transport the supplies up when they take the Yue army to collect the corpses.
You should know that the terrain of the Faka Mountain is really a bit of a headache... The narrow front and the steep hillside, and the Vietnamese army's increasingly dense bombardment of our supply line... made our army transport supplies to the position of Yue
It's getting more and more difficult.
So Zhao Jingping thought of a way... "Let the Japanese devils transport the bodies. When the Japanese devils transport the bodies, we both have a space for a ceasefire... Take advantage of this time, let the engineers transport the materials upwards!"
As a result, the Japanese devils never came to collect the corpse... They only made Zhao Jingping so angry that they were so angry that they glared at him.
Later I learned from the intelligence personnel that the Vietnamese commander indeed gave up collecting the body because he was worried that the positions on the Faka Mountain in our army would be given sufficient supplies.
Although this is just an inconspicuous supply... but the battlefield is often like this. Often, these seemingly insignificant things affect the entire battle situation in the end.
Moreover, the commander of the Vietnamese army is smarter than I thought... His slogan to his subordinates was: "We don't collect corpses now, we want to collect them when we recover Faka Mountain. If we can't recover Faka Mountain... we would rather
Leave your body on Mount Faka forever!"
A simple sentence... turns things that would have affected morale into a factor that boosts morale.
These are things I can guess, what I can't guess is what method the Vietnamese army plans to attack our Faka Mountain...
Even if our army is now having difficulty replenishing the supply on the Faka Mountain... but the time goes by, our army's fortifications will always be reinforced, which means it will be more unfavorable to the Vietnamese army, right? Then what are the Japanese waiting for?
On the afternoon of the fifth day, this question finally came up with an answer...
That day I was lying in bed to rest... In this ghost place in Vietnam, there were so many mosquitoes at night that it was really unbearable. Without sleeping training, I had to choose to sleep during the day when there were fewer mosquitoes.
Just when I was just asleep... a dense sound of cannons suddenly came from the direction of Faka Mountain.
The Vietnamese Japanese often intermittently launched intensive shellings... so I didn't care much about it. I turned around and continued to look for Duke Zhou... But after a while, I felt that the shelling was a little wrong, the density and
It was different in the past and lasted for a long time... So a clever sits up from the bed and realizes that this is the Vietnamese army launching a new round of offensive!
Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Jingping ran in and reported in a panic: "Battery Commander... Did the Vietnamese Japanese launch a gun attack?"
"What's so nervous about the artillery attack?!" I responded without thinking.
"Battery Commander..." Zhao Jingping explained: "This artillery attack by the Japanese devils is a little different..."
"Well! Why is it a different method?" I asked. At this time, I realized that the Vietnamese army was likely to be waiting for this "different cannon".
Sure enough, Zhao Jingping replied: "Battery Commander... The Vietnamese Japanese used 160MM mortars, specifically targeting the back-sloping fortifications of the Faka Mountain!"
"160MM mortar?!" I was stunned when I heard this.
I have also heard of this thing... In fact, our army also has mortars of this caliber, which is the Type 56 160MM mortar. In the Soviet Union or the Vietnamese, it should be called the M43 type.
It's just because the mortar with this caliber is too heavy... This cannon weighs nearly 1,500 kilograms, and a shell weighs more than 40 kilograms... So two wheels must be added to it so that it can move.
.
In this way... its mobility is greatly limited. It must rely on road maneuvers, and it is quite difficult to transport shells... It is more than 40 kilograms, and it is almost done with a shell on a person's back. He was put here after carrying it for half a moment.
There was a "boom" in the cannon.
These characteristics make this mortar not very suitable for use on a battlefield like Vietnam with complex terrain, which is a bit like our army's Type 58 dual-seat high-speed aircraft... If you want to use road maneuvering, it is not very suitable for mountain warfare.
!
So what we commonly use in the Vietnam battlefield is small caliber mortars such as 60 guns and 82 guns. The heavy artillery gun is almost the same as 100MM... But now the Vietnamese Japanese have brought a batch of 160MM caliber mortars!
But thinking about it is correct...
Although this long-range artillery is powerful, the problem is that it is relatively straight and difficult to hit the back slope; although ordinary mortars can hit the back slope, they are not powerful enough, and it is difficult to damage the fortifications of the back slope.
This 160MM mortar... combines the advantages of both. It not only can hit the back slope, but also has a great power... It is the most suitable for shooting the back slope fortification!
"Pass the order!" I immediately said to Zhao Jingping: "Let all units pay attention to anti-aircraft artillery, if necessary... build foxgloves outside the fortification!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping turned around and hurriedly conveyed my order.
In this case...fortifications are not trustworthy because they are likely to be shaken by this large caliber mortar shell... At that time, people will be buried in it or be themselves
Fortifications are damaged. At this time, it is safer to hide in the bullet crater or dig a foxhole.
After thinking about it... I walked to the battalion headquarters in three steps in two steps. I said to Zhao Jingping, who was busy, and said, "Contact the artillery troops immediately and let them suppress the artillery fire of the Japanese as much as possible!"
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping shook his head and said, "I have contacted it... But Commander Li said this was the swimming artillery of the Vietnamese Japanese. If our army fired randomly, not only would it not be able to kill the enemy, but it would also be possible to expose our artillery positions.
Location!”
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but nod... This Regiment Commander Li is the commander-in-chief of our artillery unit. He once participated in the battle to attack Lang Son... Lang Son is a key place of the Vietnamese army, so why is it called
The place is... because Lang Son is very special. To the north, that is close to our army, there are undulating mountains and dense jungles, and to the south, that is close to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the northern plain...
It can be imagined that this place is the last barrier of the Vietnamese capital. If the Vietnamese army can defend Lang Son... it means that our army will be trapped in the jungle and struggle with the Vietnamese army to fight the jungle war that our army is not good at.
.On the contrary, if the Vietnamese army cannot defend...there will be a flat horse in the future, then it will be time for our army's cannons, tanks, etc. to be proud.
So Lang Son is a must-defend place for the Vietnamese army... So the Vietnamese army allocated several artillery regiments and an ace division here, which is called the "Vanguard Army" and the "First Army" by Vietnam.
The 308th Division was stationed...
However, the Vietnamese army was unable to defend Lang Son in the end. What played a big role in this was our artillery... The artillery was pulled to the front line and used the "bayonet" method to follow the Vietnamese army's solid defense.
The fortifications were carried out close-range shooting, and finally the place of Lang Son was gnawed down... Among them, the artillery troops who were "bayonet-fighting" were the artillery regiment led by Commander Li.
I don't know if this kind of "bayonet" tactic is really worth promoting... Because of artillery, I think it should use its long-range strengths to strike the enemy.
But I know... those unarmed artillery soldiers who even hold shells... let them go to the front line to fight the enemy at close range, which is really not something that ordinary people can do!
Artillery is not a tank... The high-rise gun barrel and huge size of the cannon will provide the enemy with a very obvious target, and there are also many shells next to the cannon... Any rocket launcher, urge it
The cannon exploded as it exploded...the people around here had to sacrifice.
However, they were able to fight in this situation... and they could win in the end, which was really a miracle!
The opinion raised by the Leader Li is obviously correct... You should know that although this hundred mortar is not suitable for maneuvering in mountains, it is very convenient to maneuver on the road. Heavy mortars are not
That kind of haul artillery... was quickly fired a few shots and then dragged them away with three rounds... Our military artillery can be said to be unable to use such artillery.
