"Coordinates three, three, nine, three, six, five..." I immediately heard Chen Weihua shouting several coordinates to us, but this time he did not report the number of artillery pieces. +++23wx+
So I soon learned that the number of artillery pieces this time had exceeded the maximum number of monitors of the artillery sighting radar, which was more than twenty. In fact, before Chen Weihua reported the coordinates, I had already judged this from the whistling sound in the sky.
One thing, after having been on the battlefield for so long, I can already judge based on this scale that the scale is two artillery battalions, which is about the size of forty howitzers.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown.
This is not because we are worried that our artillery battalion will not be able to defeat the Japanese soldiers. You must know that although the combined battalion only has thirty artillery pieces at this time, this number is definitely not as many as the Japanese soldiers. But because we have artillery sighting radars, we can immediately
Based on the ballistics, we clearly know the location of the Vietnamese artillery positions, so we are not afraid even if the Vietnamese attack two more artillery regiments.
But the problem is that our positioning of this battle is a small-scale artillery battle...but now it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
It’s not surprising that there is such a phenomenon. In a war, the hatred between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger. For example, the Japanese devils... I believe they never thought from the beginning that it was just a few mortar shells.
, and finally allowed them to use a total of one artillery regiment's artillery.
But first, the mortar was blown up accurately by our army. The Vietnamese army couldn't swallow this breath, so they used a battalion of artillery. Unexpectedly, the artillery of this battalion was quickly blown up by us, so they were even more unconvinced.
, and then increased the chips and used two artillery battalions.
This may be what is said in martial arts novels: "When is the time to retaliate?" So when the battle starts, it is sometimes really difficult to control it. Most of the time, when the fight starts, your head gets hot, and you throw in as many things as you can.
Of course, as a commander, I have to keep a cool head at this time, knowing that if I continue to fight like this, it is very likely that the artillery sight radar will be exposed. Of course, the exposure here does not mean that the Vietnamese army is now capable
Tracking our army's artillery sighting radar will make the Vietnamese commander clearly feel the strong contrast between our army's artillery and the previous one and become suspicious.
So at this time I was actually ready to withdraw my troops.
But what I didn't expect was that the battlefield is a place where it is easy to lose control, and it is also a place full of surprises. This place does not mean that I can do whatever I want.
"battalion commander!"
Just when I was about to give the order to stop fighting back... it was not difficult to do this. Because the three artillery positions of our army were all moved within a few minutes after the attack, so even if the Japanese artillery was overtaken at this time,
Being able to accurately hit our artillery positions does not pose a threat to us, and we can retreat at any time.
But at this time, the correspondent raised his head and reported: "The Vietnamese Japanese used artillery to block the retreat of our Second Artillery Company. At the same time, they concentrated their firepower to cover the position of our Second Artillery Company."
"What?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and then I realized that I had made this battle easy.
It should be said that I did not consider this. The Vietnamese army is an expert in using artillery to fight guerrilla warfare... Our army is indeed inferior to the Vietnamese army in this regard. The reason is that our army's artillery is much stronger than the Vietnamese army from the beginning. Our army's artillery
In many cases there is no need to fight guerrillas.
Because the Vietnamese army is very familiar with artillery's tactics of fighting guerrillas, they also have a unique method when dealing with artillery and guerrillas.
This method is like what we are encountering now: first use a dozen cannons to block the retreat of our artillery. It is not easy to do this, because the Vietnamese army must have a detailed military map of our territory, and then
After the Vietnamese artillery observers observed the general location of our artillery positions from a high place, they marked the locations on this map. The Vietnamese commanders assigned artillery based on this map and location, and successfully used artillery to block important areas.
highway.
You must know that howitzers must be towed on the road by cars, which means that the transfer of artillery also relies heavily on roads. Once the road is blocked, the artillery cannot be transferred.
Then, the remaining artillery of the Vietnamese army can blast randomly at the artillery positions suspected of being ours... As long as there are enough artillery shells to blow up the area. Even if the accuracy is not high, there will always be results.
So at this time I was faced with a new problem. If I still planned to retreat according to the original plan, then the Second Artillery Company would most likely suffer heavy casualties.
Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Order all artillery units to find suitable positions on the spot and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!" the correspondent responded and immediately conveyed the order.
At this time, there is only one way to avoid losses, and that is to inflict pain on the Japanese artillery!
A few minutes later the correspondent reported to me: "The troops are ready!"
"Fire!" Following my order, the artillery of my artillery battalion roared again.
Of course, these artillery pieces were fired at the Vietnamese artillery positions under the guidance of the artillery sighting radar, as before, so the artillery shells were fired into the Vietnamese artillery positions one after another as if they had eyes.
This move was indeed very effective. After only three rounds of artillery fire, the sound of artillery in the direction of the Vietnamese army was obviously reduced.
"Pass the order!" In order to avoid the same situation happening again, I ordered: "All artillery units are in place and ready for battle. They are not allowed to withdraw from their positions without an order until the Vietnamese Japanese are beaten to pain!"
"Yes!" the correspondent responded.
Staff Officer Wei immediately realized what I was going to do, so he immediately rang the phone of the Forty Division...
I know why he made this call. An artillery battle is a battle that consumes a lot of artillery shells, and our army's logistics supplies at this time were completely dependent on the 40th Division, so of course we asked them to send artillery shells at this time.
Sure enough, I heard Staff Officer Wei yelling into the phone: "Send me two base shells immediately to prepare, move quickly!"
After doing this, everyone was waiting to see if the Vietnamese army dared to shoot at us.
If the commander of the Vietnamese army was a wise man, he would have seen this artillery battle between the enemy and ourselves... that is, even an artillery regiment of the Vietnamese army was silenced by us, and the Vietnamese could not even defeat us.
The fur of the army artillerymen was touched.
If there was anything "trouble", it would be that one of the guns of the Second Artillery Company was damaged by flying shrapnel, while the rest could be said to be intact.
From this point, we can also see how big the gap will be in actual combat if they have the same high-tech equipment or there is a generation difference between them.
If the Vietnamese commander saw this, he should not continue the artillery battle, otherwise the further the attack would proceed, the greater his losses would be.
But we also know the temper of the Yue Jap, they never admit defeat on the battlefield... It should be said that this is somewhat similar to our army. Most of the Yue Jap's ace troops are trained by China, so naturally
I would have the idea of a "spiritual atomic bomb". At this time, seeing an artillery regiment being smashed like this, how could I just give up...
While we were waiting, the Vietnamese commander was shouting hysterically at his subordinates, and asked his subordinates to seize the time to organize more artillery units to show the Chinese people how powerful they are. The Vietnamese commander wanted to
What doesn't make sense is that they clearly have the advantage in Laoshan... At this time, the main peak of Laoshan is still under the control of the Vietnamese army. The main peak of Laoshan is the highest peak nearby. From the perspective of standing high, you can see far.
Said that the Vietnamese artillery observers naturally had the advantage, so they felt that it was unreasonable for the artillery battle to be lost like this.
The Vietnamese army moved very quickly, because after more than ten minutes we heard the whistling of artillery shells in the air again. From the whistling sound, I immediately judged that this time there should be at least four artillery pieces of the Vietnamese army.
camp.
I couldn't help but smile. Those guys like Wu Tengxiong had held it in for long enough. Let me give them a good beating this time.
The artillery shells fired back by our army were quickly returned.
One side is blindly covering the fire, and the other side is firing accurately according to the coordinates of the artillery position. Although the number of artillery in our artillery battalion is less than half of the Vietnamese army at this time, the Vietnamese army's artillery fire is getting smaller and smaller.
, and finally we beat him into silence again!
"Okay!" When the sound of artillery gradually slowed down, the soldiers cheered again.
What we didn't know was that it wasn't just us who cheered at this time, but also the soldiers who stayed on the front line and the artillery troops of the 40th Division.
The soldiers on the front line felt it the most, because they were right in the middle of the enemy's and our artillery positions. The artillery shells were hitting me back and forth, and they looked up at the sky from the cat's ear hole.
Every time we looked at the artillery shells directed in our direction, although there were not many, they were always able to suppress the Vietnamese army's artillery fire, so everyone was a little baffled.
Among them, especially the artillery unit of the 40th Division, Monk Zhang Er was even more confused... The infantry were still non-professionals, and they were just watching the fun in the middle. The artillery was nervously prepared for battle.
Waiting for orders to help us out.
To their surprise, they waited and waited but could not get the order... Many of them were veterans with experience in artillery warfare. As soon as they heard the whistle, they knew that our army was obviously at a disadvantage, and it was still exponentially weaker.
But at the end of the fight, we still had artillery shells, but there was no sound from the direction of the Vietnamese army.
Of course, this does not mean that our army had no casualties at all at this time. In the last round of artillery battle, the Vietnamese army concentrated its artillery to continue covering the second artillery battery of our army... This approach should be said to be very smart, that is, to concentrate its superior firepower.
Let’s talk about the remaining part of the other party.
As a result, the Second Artillery Company suffered more than 20 casualties and two artillery pieces were damaged. (To be continued...)
