The battle situation at this time can be said to be very unfavorable to our army. This disadvantage is mainly because our army lacks the number of mortars... only one mortar company with more than a dozen guns... and these guns must be divided into two directions.
The No. 4 and 5 positions provide firepower, in other words, there are only six and seven guns in each direction...
If these six or seven cannons fall into the hands of the artillery soldiers of the Chuangwang and our army's combined battalion, it may be enough. The Chuangwang will play three shells and land at the same time. Six or seven cannons are in his hands.
Used as a dozen cannons.
But these artillery soldiers are artillery soldiers of the Second Battalion... They have not undergone this training and even if the King of Chuang is powerful, they will not play any role at this time.
So even though my artillery force was working very hard to blew up one shell at the charge of the Vietnamese army, it still could not stop the offensive of the Vietnamese Japanese.
On the other hand... the 7th Company and the 8th Company, which were charging towards the Faka Mountain... were suppressed by the firepower of the two Vietnamese squads because they did not have artillery fire support...
It is not about the problem of too many people but the Vietnamese army occupied a favorable position, arranged firepower in advance, and added sufficient ammunition... the two squads of people were fully capable of blocking a company.
So I faced a dilemma: Should this only artillery company continue to be used on the top of the mountain or provide artillery cover for the 7th and 8th companies...
If it continues to be used on the mountaintop position, the pressure on the warriors in the No. 4 and No. 5 positions will indeed be less, but the 7th and 8th companies cannot change the current situation of being suppressed by the enemy for the time being. If you rush hard, it will inevitably cause a lot of
Large casualties... This is a failure for both the entire battle and the local battle.
If the combusting gun company is allowed to divert its firing direction to the 7th Company, the Eighth Company will provide artillery cover. It can indeed solve the problems of the 7th Company and the Eighth Company... but it will undoubtedly add insult to the 4th and 5th positions, which were originally under great pressure!
Zhao Jingping obviously considered this... One of his advantages was that he could think what I thought, so without saying a word, he asked the King of Chuang to contact the artillery troops to provide fire cover for the 7th and 8th companies.
But I know... this action is probably too late!
A rough estimate... The King of Chuang contacted the artillery. The artillery set up positions and then provided coordinate adjustments... Even if the artillery was well-trained and had smooth contact, it would take at least ten minutes. And these ten minutes... I'm afraid that the ghosts will go to
He has already grabbed positions No. 4 and 5.
So I gritted my teeth and immediately ordered: "Order the artillery force... to immediately transfer the shooting direction to the 7th Company and the 8th Company provide fire cover!"
"What?" Zhao Jingping was stunned when he heard this.
"Execute the command!" I emphasized my tone.
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded and immediately conveyed the order to the walkie-phone.
My thought is... If this continues, the position No. 4 and No. 5 will change hands and our army ends in failure. It would be better to take a gamble... Let's see if it is the 7th Company, the 8th Company will attack Faka Mountain first or the Vietnamese Japanese will first
Take the top position in one step!
Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope, right?
However, this position No. 4 and 5, which was originally dangerous, has now lost the cover of the mortar... The soldiers stationed on it are probably in danger!
However, there is nothing I can do about this... Although I feel that this order is a bit sorry for these soldiers, I still have to choose this way!
I even added an order... "Comrades in the No. 4 and No. 5 position, no matter what method is used, even if there is only one person left, they will have to hold back the Yue Japanese! "
This may sound cruel, but sometimes the battlefield must have such an order... However, this order has not been conveyed to positions 4 and 5. Because positions 4 and 5 are already seriously insufficient, even the correspondents have also
I went into battle with a bayonet, so no one could receive my orders at all.
But in fact, it is the same whether I have received my orders, because that's how they do it...
The mortars soon moved their firing direction... Because these mortars were guided by our army's artillery observers on the helicopters, they often had two or three shells to blow up a firepower point across the Japanese... Let's take a look together
Six helicopters were sent to intercept artillery observers. These six helicopters were originally responsible for commanding three artillery companies, but now they were bombed by the Vietnamese army... The artillery observers are redundant.
So the artillery observer on each helicopter was responsible for commanding two mortal bombardments... When the shell hit it, it paralyzed the defenses of the two Japanese squads on the spot, as if they had eyes!
"Roar!" With the 7th Company, the soldiers of the Eighth Company shouted... The soldiers rushed up to Mount Faka with the remaining power of artillery fire.
You should know that the soldiers of the 7th Company and the soldiers on the No. 4 and No. 5 are in the same unit. They also knew very well that this time they came up to save these comrades...he had no choice but to go to the battlefield and there was artillery fire again
The blockade was blocked again, which made them unable to move several times. They had already been holding a ball of fire in their stomachs and had nowhere to fire. Now, there were finally artillery soldiers clearing the obstacles for them... So they spread their legs like a hundred
Mi rushed to the top of the mountain like a sprint, and the speed was fast... I couldn't tell whether they were going up the mountain or down the mountain.
The artillery force also followed the command of artillery observers to extend deep into the Vietnamese army, just like opening a way forward in front of the 7th Company and the Eighth Company, blowing the Vietnamese army upside down!
This made the charge of the 7th and 8th companies unstoppable... However, this is why the Japanese did not expect the defenses of the two squads to be defeated so quickly. At this time, they were still concentrating on attacking the top position...
I am really attacked from both sides. I can’t even prevent it even if I want to.
However, even so, the soldiers of the 7th and 8th Company still need some time to rush to the No. 4 and 5 positions, so this gave the Vietnamese Japanese some time...
It can even be said that it is not just some time, but forcing the Vietnamese devils to occupy positions No. 4 and No. 5... The reason is very simple. The Chinese army behind them is a new force. Although the number of Vietnamese soldiers is comparable to that of the Chinese army,
The quality is not worse than that of the Chinese army or even condescending... But the problem is. If you turn around and fight... then they will be threatened from both the top and the foot of the mountain at the same time... This is unbearable for any army.
Although the Chinese soldiers on the top of the mountain may have very little ammunition left.
So at this time, the Vietnamese army seemed to have only one choice... that is, to take positions No. 4 and 5 before the 7th and 8th companies rushed up to collapse their troops.
Once positions 4 and 5 are taken down... they can truly occupy the favorable terrain and organize effective defenses.
In other words... Although the charge of the 7th and 8th companies was to reinforce positions No. 4 and 5, in this short moment, the Vietnamese Japanese made up their minds to fight to the death and further increased the 4th.
, pressure on position No. 5.
The Vietnamese army's reaction was indeed as I was worried... When the 7th and 8th companies rushed up, I didn't know who shouted, so the Vietnamese army no longer cared about what else would it throw off from the No. 4 and 5 position.
Grenades, what explosive packs were rushing down... They all crawled out of the bunker and rushed towards positions No. 4 and 5...
Almost at the same time, a large number of news of the Vietnamese attacks came from position No. 3... This is not because the Vietnamese army is anxious, but because the Vietnamese army is worried that the Chinese army in position No. 3 will fight for casualties and pass through artillery fire to block the rescue position No. 4 and 5.
, so this move seems to be an attack, actually restrains it.
I only realized after the war... For this battle, the Vietnamese army had a regiment of infantry... This regiment was used to attack Pu Liude, called Kashan and Fakashan... Especially on this side of Fakashan, Yue
The army prepared two battalions.
When I heard this news, I couldn't help but lean on it in my heart... We have less than one company on the Faka Mountain, so the Japanese devils used two battalions to chew on it, and this did not include the dozen or so tanks.
The first thing that was lost was position No. 5.
Originally, I thought the situation of position No. 5 would be better than position No. 4, because position No. 4 was in a hurry to get ammunition first, and position No. 5 still had some ammunition left...
But sometimes when there is no ammunition left and there is not much left, the situation is the worst... The reason is that the enemy knows the location of the target as soon as they shoot, so they hold the gun and press forward for a while and then use firepower to suppress it.
Several Vietnamese Japanese bypassed the not-security firepower network... At this time, there was not much ammunition left on the No. 5 position, so the firepower was not called a "firepower network" at all... Then a few grenades were thrown up.
Soon, one, two, a large number of Vietnamese troops broke into the trenches of position No. 5... The soldiers on position No. 5 had no way to retreat, so daggers, bayonets, butt stocks, stones... all they could use were used.
The soldiers on both sides have returned to the most primitive fighting state of human beings.
Under the light of the flare, we were on the helicopter and could see the situation where the enemy and us were fighting in a group below everywhere... Even we couldn't tell which ones were enemies and which ones were our own people.
At this time, I really wanted to do something, but I knew very well that I could not do anything... If the battle reached this point, the loss of the No. 5 position was already destined, and no one could change this fact.
So I could only watch this tragic scene and watch the heroes fall down one by one on the battlefield!
The battle ended in a few minutes...
On the small mountain bag of position No. 5, our two squads killed more than 50 Vietnamese troops, and all the soldiers of these two squads died on position No. 5, no one retreated.
Later I learned that before I got on the position, these two squads had written a vow in the army that "I would rather die one step forward than live a half step back."
PS: I would like to pay tribute to the heroes stationed in the No. 5 position of Fakashan! In the Battle of Fakashan, nine people from the No. 5 position of the No. 5 position, killed more than 40 Vietnamese troops, and finally all died bravely.
