"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but ask strangely: "What does it mean to do nothing?"
"Yes, battalion commander!" The King of Chuang also asked in confusion: "Can we give up the positions No. 4 and No. 5 to the Vietnamese Japanese? There are comrades from the Second Battalion above!"
"It means nothing...just wait!" I spread out the map on the helicopter deck, pointing to the position No. 4 and No. 5 on the map and said: "Look... the Vietnamese Japanese are doing this battle
With full preparation, they blocked the positions No. 4 and No. 5... They used long-range artillery and mortars to block the positions No. 4 and No. 5... It made it difficult for our army to reinforce the positions No. 4 and No. 5, even if it was
Our troops also suffered heavy casualties when reinforcements are raised... But there is a problem here. If the Vietnamese mortars blocked the positions No. 4 and No. 5, how can the Vietnamese Japanese attacks attack?"
"Yes!" The King of Chuang nodded and said, "When the Vietnamese Japanese attacked positions No. 4 and 5... the mortar will definitely stop artillery blockade..."
"Oh!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but realize: "The battalion commander means...we will wait for this moment to send troops to reinforce!"
"That's right!" I nodded: "It's relatively easy to break through the artillery blockade of long-range artillery, and mortars are a little more troublesome. If the Japanese mortars stop bombing..."
Everyone who has been on the battlefield knows this. There is a saying that "veterans are afraid of guns, new soldiers are afraid of cannons"... In fact, there are still differences in cannons here, long-range cannons... This thing is far away from us, so
Basically, it is blindly fired according to the coordinates... The artillery will not be able to see if anyone passes the target position, right? It is at least a straight line distance of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers!
So... the artillery blockade of long-range artillery generally has certain rules, such as five shots every ten minutes, and the howling sound of the shell can be heard from a distance. Anyone with battlefield experience can basically distinguish it.
I can find out whether the bombing point that flew over was far or near... so I can respond in a targeted manner. If the bombing point is far away, I will ignore it and continue running forward. If it is close, I will lie down!
Of course, there will be surprises in this... Some people will be hit by shells even if they fall down... But this is just an occasional situation, and they rarely consider this on the battlefield.
Mortars are another matter...especially light mortars...the range of these things can be very close. For example, the 60MM mortar has a nearest range of 70 meters...
Therefore, mortars can often play a machine gun role on the battlefield... that is, they can quickly respond and chase the target!
Even if the mortar gunner cannot see the target... there will be a Vietnamese artillery observer indicating coordinates for it. If they cooperate well with each other, they will be able to chase the enemy infantry.
This is why we have never dared to send troops to reinforce Faka Mountain... Of course, the small area of the position on the top of Faka Mountain is also one of the reasons!
"Yes, just fight like this!" King Chuang said, clenching his fist, "When the mortar of the Vietnamese Japanese stopped bombing... our reinforcements rushed up... As soon as the dynasties came, the dynasties were caught in the middle by us.
!”
"But the battalion commander..." Zhao Jingping frowned and said, "The situation in position No. 4 and 5 is not optimistic, there is insufficient ammunition and no fortifications, and the quality of the warriors in the second battalion is not very good...
Afraid……"
Zhao Jingping's concerns make sense. Another thing Zhao Jingping didn't say... That is, the difference in military strength is too great. The Vietnamese army used for attacks is one company, while our army only has two squads on positions No. 4 and 5...
...In this case, it is very likely that our reinforcements have already taken over the No. 4 and No. 5 positions before our reinforcements have arrived.
"This is my idea..." I said: "Based on previous operations... we found that the Vietnamese Japanese lacked communication equipment, and the coordination between the various troops was not very good..."
This was the reaction of Scar... He stayed on Mount Faka for a few days and found that the Japanese invaders always used red flashlights (a flashlight similar to a signal light that emits red light) to contact the troops behind them.
, and our army snipers often target these Vietnamese troops who send signals. In the end, the Vietnamese troops were so scared that they had to hide behind the mound every time they sent signals, and they dared to send signals when they were sure that they were not exposed.
This can actually be solved... The Vietnamese devils are a poor country, and their troops are very large... The Vietnamese army also laid off several troops before 1979 to save military expenditure, but in 1979, the battle was fought...
The devils of Yue immediately increased their recruitment efforts and even made the same move as the whole nation.
Therefore, although the Vietnamese army has assisted the Soviet devils, communication equipment can only be popularized at the first level of the company... The connection between platoons, or between companies and artillery units, and tank units... must be used as the simplest one.
Use a red flashlight to transmit signals!
After a pause, I continued: "We can make good use of this point. For example, we can also use some red flashlights to interfere with the coordination between various military forces of the Vietnamese Japanese. If used well, it may also make
They attack themselves! On the other hand... The second battalion's battalion's urgency company can also play a role of interference, making the Vietnamese Japanese not sure whether this gun was attacked by us or by them. In this way, the various branches of the Vietnamese army will be
There will be chaos soon in the coordination between the two..."
"Oh!" Zhao Jingping nodded: "Once there is chaos in the coordination between various branches of the Vietnamese army, it will greatly affect their combat effectiveness, and even make the Vietnamese mortar unable to support Vietnam because of concerns about accidental bombing.
Military infantry... so the pressure on the 4 and 5 high grounds will be reduced a little."
"Yes!" I said, "This is the time for us to beat the dogs. As for these positions No. 4 and 5... Pass the orders down, so that the soldiers of these two positions will still have to pay no matter how much the price they pay.
We held positions until our reinforcements arrived, and at the same time ordered the 7th and 8th companies of the Second Battalion to reinforce positions No. 4 and 5 respectively! The artillery force company is responsible for fire cover!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded and immediately passed the order.
Of course, the response from position No. 4 and 5 is: "Ensure the completion of the task!" and "Swear to live and die with the position!".
This is the characteristic of this era, or it can be said that the soldiers should have answers... But I did not feel relieved about positions 4 and 5 because of this... It is obvious that the focus of my plan is on these 4,
Can position No. 5 last longer? Otherwise, if the Japanese invaders were allowed to occupy these two positions first... the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Vietnamese army's subsequent offensive was indeed as I said... Under the cover and guidance of the tank, the two companies bypassed the front main position No. 3, one left and one right, from the flank of Faka Mountain toward 4,5
The number position is inserted...
The action of the Vietnamese army was clearly seen on our helicopter. After all, we can change the observation angle at will. If necessary, we can even shoot a few flares above the Vietnamese army...
Because our helicopters always sway in the dark sky, and they are outside the range of the anti-aircraft machine gun of the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun, the Japanese could only stare at the three helicopters. A few Japanese were unwilling to give up and took high shots.
The machine guns were fired into the sky... but it can be imagined that such a long distance and the speed of the helicopter... their actions were destined to be a waste of bullets.
Then the Vietnamese army was bombing again with another round of intensive mortar bombing... Needless to say, this round of bombing was to clear the mines for the infantry... Then the two companies of Vietnamese army headed to the four.
Position No. 5 rushed over... and it was not until this time that the Vietnamese mortars blocked the artillery fire of positions No. 4 and 5...
But this does not mean that the Vietnamese mortars stopped bombing. They quickly turned the explosion point to positions 4 and 5... It is obvious that the reason why they were able to turn the explosion point to positions 4 and 5 so accurately
The position was guided by artillery observers in the Vietnamese infantry.
In this regard, the Vietnamese army's infantry and artillery coordination is quite in place, but I believe this is just a temporary phenomenon... because the Vietnamese army still has a radio station and a walkie-talkie. Once the war reaches a fever pitch
At the same time, and the Faka Mountain is smoke and dark... If you don't use a flare, you can have a visibility of only a few meters. In this case, it is far from enough to have a telephone contact with your superiors!
"Go!" With my order, two companies in our camp jumped out of the darkness and rushed towards Faka Mountain...
This is the 7th and 8th companies of the Second Battalion... Their mission is to pass through the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army to block the reinforcement positions No. 4 and 5, but rather to reinforce positions No. 4 and 5, it is better to annihilate the attacks 4 than to destroy those attacks 4
The Vietnamese Japanese in position No. 5... The top position of Faka Mountain is so large that it can't accommodate so many people at all.
But only we can see this action of our army on the helicopter... As for the Vietnamese army, they did not notice that a unit was heading straight to their side because of the smoke from the fire of the haul artillery.
Come on.
However, after looking at the speed of the second battalion troops' advance... I couldn't help but frown.
One thing I didn't consider is that... the quality of the Second Battalion is not very good, and the density of the Vietnamese artillery blockade is high, so they can only be divided into several batches, one by one, one by one, and one by one through the blockade area...
Later I found out that they divided a company into ten batches, and each batch of more than ten people passed it one after another... This is the right way, after all, many of the soldiers in the Second Battalion were recruits... They are not like our agent company.
Everyone can hear the distance of the bullet point from the sound of the cannon, so this must be done in order to reduce casualties.
However... the result of this was that their time to reinforce positions No. 4 and No. 5 was greatly extended!
