Since the Vietnamese want to rush up to die like this...then we are not polite. The Japanese attack one by one, so we just pile up the shells one by one. Anyway, we have plenty of shells, and we blockade them.
This Faka Mountain doesn't need many artillery shells. If it continues like this, it won't be a problem to blow it up for a few hours... It just depends on whether the Japanese Japs have so many people piling up...
After more than ten minutes, the Vietnamese soldiers lost their composure... At this time, the Vietnamese commander made an even more wrong decision and let long-range artillery fire suppress our mortar position...
Maybe this can't be regarded as a wrong decision, because this decision still makes some sense... Admittedly, the Vietnamese commander will definitely consider that once this long-range artillery fire is fired... then the Chinese army will do the same.
Suppress the Vietnamese artillery. The Vietnamese artillery is obviously at a disadvantage... so the result can be imagined.
But there is a problem here... that is, at the moment when the Vietnamese army's long-range artillery fire suppresses the Chinese mortar positions, the Chinese army's artillery blockade on Faka Mountain will definitely have loopholes or vacancies for a period of time, or even other
It is also very likely that the number of mortars will be greatly reduced due to the attack... so the subsequent blockade of Faka Mountain will be reduced!
At this time...the Vietnamese army is very likely to rush to position 3 and then expand the results...
So what the Vietnamese commander wanted... was actually to sacrifice the artillery to reduce the pressure on the infantry. If this could eventually be exchanged for victory at Faka Mountain... then the sacrifice of the artillery would be worth it!
This trick does seem to work...just like the information I got...
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping yelled at me: "The Vietnamese artillery suppressed our mortar... Our mortar unit had to urgently move its position!"
"Have you reported to Commander Li?"
Before I finished speaking... I heard bursts of howling artillery shells in the air... It was obvious that our army's long-range artillery unit had also received the intelligence and responded immediately.
As for artillery units... the most important thing is speed, not to mention that these artillery units got our warning in advance and were ready for battle.
So the question I just asked doesn't need to be answered.
"How is the situation at Position 3?" I asked again immediately.
"Because our mortar firepower has dropped sharply..." Zhao Jingping replied: "So a considerable part of the Vietnamese army has broken through our artillery blockade. The Vietnamese are attacking position 3 with all their strength, and the second company commander is organizing a defense!"
"Very good!" I nodded and ordered, "Send the helicopter up!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded and immediately conveyed my order through the walkie-talkie.
Soon ten helicopters appeared in the sky and flew straight towards the reverse slope of Faka Mountain...
Now they can fight to their heart's content... It can be imagined that the troops of the Vietnamese army are used to charge towards Faka Mountain. It is impossible to carry many heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns or small-caliber anti-aircraft guns.
In addition, Scar and the others from Faka Mountain cooperated with him to set the target... So this was the time for them to show off their skills and attack the Vietnamese army.
Just like what I thought... As soon as the helicopter came up, it launched a row of rockets into the crowd of Vietnamese soldiers in the direction instructed by Scar and the others... The reason why Scar and the other infantry's instructions were needed was because the sky was getting dark at this time.
Down, and the battlefield was filled with smoke, it was difficult for the helicopter to find the exact location of the target below.
This round of rockets knocked down the charging Japanese soldiers and knocked them off their feet...Then the helicopter began to fire. The so-called gunfire is to use the anti-aircraft machine gun on the nose of the aircraft to chase down the targets they can find...
…Most of these targets are the Vietnamese troops moving at the foot of the mountain preparing to reinforce Faka Mountain.
Although chasing these Vietnamese troops will not reduce the pressure on Position 3 in the short term... but in fact, in the long run, this will interrupt the continuity of the Vietnamese army's charge and attack... The Vietnamese army cannot be one wave after another.
As the wave catches up, there will be an offensive gap in the middle, and our defensive soldiers can take this time to make adjustments... such as replenishing ammunition, deploying troops, supplementing firepower, etc.!
So the difference between offense and defense between the enemy and ourselves is huge... It is not difficult to imagine that as long as this time gap exists, the Vietnamese army's charge will be a suicide to a certain extent...
The Vietnamese commander obviously realized this, and finally reluctantly pulled back the charging troops... But our helicopter troops seemed to have not fought enough, and were still chasing these troops with machine guns and rockets from behind.
deserter……
Finally, the battlefield finally calmed down and the sound of gunfire gradually subsided... In order to confirm that the Vietnamese army had retreated, the helicopter troops fired several rounds of illumination bombs on the battlefield... What caught our eyes was the bombed
It is almost impossible to recognize the original appearance of Faka Mountain and the piles of corpses on the mountain.
"Report the situation from all units!" I gave the order into the walkie-talkie.
"The second company lost three people and injured five!" Scar reported.
"Five people from the second battalion were killed, seven were injured, and six people are buried in the tunnel whose life and death are unknown!"
…
"Organize rescue immediately!"
"yes!"
…
Judging from the numbers, the number of casualties is not very large. Even compared to the casualties of the Vietnamese army... this number can be said to be very small, so small that it is almost insignificant.
But... this does not mean that these casualties are not important, because every number reported here... represents a soldier!
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jingping analyzed from the side: "The Second Battalion suffered fewer casualties... because of its rich combat experience, it rushed out of the tunnel and built foxholes outside to defend against artillery. The Second Battalion suffered greater casualties.
It’s because there are still many soldiers who would rather hide in the tunnels than come out..."
I couldn't help but remain silent... But this is understandable. Under those circumstances... it was really not easy to face the world blown apart by artillery shells, even though I knew it might be safer to hide in the tunnel.
"Taken together..." Zhao Jingping continued: "Our army's casualties were not large, but the fortifications were completely destroyed... In other words, our efforts in the past few days have been in vain!"
"Yeah!" I nodded.
Actually, what I'm thinking about...isn't the question of wasted effort...we can continue to build the fortifications after they are bombed. It only takes time and effort for us, which is no big deal compared to survival!
But the problem is... we can build fortifications, but the next time the Vietnamese army attacks, we can continue to use this method to destroy them... So are our fortifications built or not?! (To be completed
