Amid the fierce bombardment of our army's artillery, the sky gradually became brighter.?
In fact, it was already dawn, but the sky was filled with smoke, steam and dust from shells... The land in Vietnam is relatively humid, and the fire cannon will evaporate the water in the soil into the air. If there is more
Fry a few times, and after the water evaporates, it will turn into tiny dust particles.
All these things were intertwined and suspended in the air, and a thick layer of "fog" was shrouded in the sky within a radius of more than ten miles of Laoshan, and even the sun could not shine in. This made us until eight in the morning.
Only a little bit of sunshine can be seen.
It was not until this time that the Vietnamese army's attack on our army stopped... Of course, this does not mean that the Vietnamese army will not fight this battle. The reason they stopped was entirely because the sky became brighter and they needed to attack.
Make some necessary adjustments to the tactics.
On the other hand, it is also because the vanguard troops they arranged at the forefront of the position have been almost wiped out by us... The vanguard troops are actually the most expensive troops in this battle. Before the war begins, they will lurk in our army.
At the front of the position, this pain is still a little bit. After the battle, they were actually trapped in a Jedi. In front was the defensive position of the Zhongzhao people, and behind was a fire wall that no one could pass.
So they could only focus on charging towards our position, time and time again.
However, this kind of charge does not pose a great threat to our army's defense line.
First of all, the Vietnamese army's charge at this time should have their artillery cover, but the Vietnamese army's long-range artillery was basically eliminated by our artillery, and the subsequent mortars were blocked outside the firewall and it was difficult for them to protect themselves.
Not to mention providing fire assistance to the vanguard.
Secondly, the vanguard of the Vietnamese army itself... As a lurking force, they must bring enough dry food. The restrictions on loading and covering have made them basically not carry heavy weapons.
In other words, they could only charge towards our defense line with submachine guns under the cover of several light machine guns and a limited number of heavy machine guns.
On the other hand, our army was waiting for the Vietnamese army to come up in the defense line with leisure.
This is a trap we set up from the beginning, so we started preparing for this battle more than ten days ago: there are mines and barbed wire in front of the position; there are complete fortifications in the position, equipped with light and heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns,
Fire points such as guns and directional lightnings can fully play the role of each equipment after careful arrangement, and the storage of a large amount of ammunition... This makes the confrontation between the enemy and us a massacre.
According to the front-line troops, the charge of the vanguard of the Vietnamese army was actually a little useful at the beginning. At that time, many of our troops did not expect that the Vietnamese army would lurk so close and have so many people. There was no need to make any preparations.
In the case, they rushed into the distance of throwing grenades. A row of grenades caused some casualties to our army. Then the Vietnamese army rushed into our defense line in the blink of an eye and started close combat.
But soon our army repelled the Vietnamese army with the advantage of the defense... This is mainly due to our artillery, because our artillery suppressed the Vietnamese artillery at the first time, as mentioned before
Yes, the preparations for artillery fire of the Vietnamese artillery lasted only about ten minutes.
Because of this, the task of clearing the obstacles of the Vietnamese artillery was not completed at all, that is, there were a large number of barbed wire mesh, mines, roadblocks, etc. at the forefront of our position. This directly caused only a small part of the Vietnamese vanguard to break into our defense line.
Most of the Vietnamese troops were blocked and slowed down by half a beat. The troops on the front line of our army took this time to react and attack the Vietnamese troops back.
The battle then became very simple. What the soldiers had to do seemed to be throwing out grenades condescendingly or firing rows of bullets at the enemy in the artillery fire...
According to the soldiers' recollections, their hands were softened that night. The Vietnamese army rushed forward one after another, fell down one after another, and then rushed up one after another, and the fight lasted until the end of the fight.
Some people doubted whether the tsunami could not finish the attack. But at that time they didn't dare to think too much, they only knew that they would raise their guns and pull the trigger at the enemy and fire rows of bullets, because they knew very well that if they let these tsunamis go, they would let them go.
If you rush up, you will tear yourself to pieces like a group of hungry wolves.
This was a complete collision of flesh and blood and steel. The Vietnamese army used their flesh and blood and lives to charge at our army's bullets and artillery shells.
Although our soldiers received previous education, "not afraid of hardship or sacrifice", when facing this scene, they were still amazed at why the Vietnamese army launched such a stupid group charge... The fact is that the Vietnamese army has no way out, and they will die if they do not surrender.
, so it simply launched a large-scale charge that was like suicide.
At dawn, when the Vietnamese attack was temporarily suspended, the soldiers on the front line were relieved.
At this time, the gunshots and explosions gradually slowed down. After a long time, the smoke of gunpowder slowly dissipated, and then the battlefield in front of him gradually became clear.
Although they were mentally prepared, the front-line soldiers were still shocked by the scene they saw:
The bodies of the Yue army were all over the mountains, and these corpses were clearly divided into two parts through Wei.
Part of them is from the foot of the mountain to the front of the position. This part is obviously the vanguard of the Vietnamese army. Most of them died on the way to charge towards our positions, so most of them are heading towards our positions, neatly arranged.
It's like drying fish. We can clearly see that the Vietnamese soldiers were dressed in rags and didn't even have shoes, but they were covered with weapons, grenades, bullets, bayonets...
Another part extends from the foot of the mountain to the direction of Qingshuikou. This part is simply a slaughterhouse. Originally, there were weeds more than one meter high and even a whole forest disappeared, and instead they were all from the Vietnamese army.
Corpse and equipment, and these corpses and equipment cannot be found in a complete piece, and the entire open area was dyed with blood and shocking red.
"Battery Commander!" At this time, Staff Wei reported to me: "The news I got from Commander Jiang's side that the Japanese invaders had much more troops than we expected! According to preliminary judgment, there was at least one direct attacking force.
Ten thousand people.”
"What? More than 10,000 people?!" I was shocked when I heard this number: "Are you sure? What judgment is made based on!"
"Confirm!" Staff Officer Wei replied: "There are roughly thousands of bodies of the Vietnamese army lying in front of the position. In addition, the injured and those who are still hidden in the area of Qingshuikou have not rushed up... It is estimated that there are no less than tens of thousands.
people!"
I nodded. The number that Commander Jiang estimated made sense, because if according to the normal casualties ratio, if there were thousands of corpses on the battlefield, then three or four thousand Vietnamese troops would be injured.
Of course, it is also possible that our army did not provide the Vietnamese army with a way out last night, so the number of injured people would be even smaller. But even if we estimate that the three thousand Vietnamese army was injured and one thousand Vietnamese army died last night, the Vietnamese army last night
More than 4,000 people have been lost in these few hours of charge, so the total force on the battlefield is at least tens of thousands.
On the other hand, the estimate of the enemy's military strength can also be inferred from the number of Vietnamese prisoners. For example, this prisoner is from a certain regiment and that prisoner is from a certain regiment, then there will be at least two regiments of force.
.
So I believe that there is no problem with Commander Jiang’s inference, but... if there are tens of thousands of people who are directly invested in the battlefield, what about the follow-up troops? Then the troops that the Vietnamese army participated in this battle are just an unimaginable astronomical world.
The number is now.
At this time, I knew that we had made a mistake, wrongly estimating the forces invested by the Vietnamese army.
And the consequence of this mistake is...
"How many shells did we fire?" I asked.
"I made 1.5 base numbers!" Zhao Jingping replied.
Zhao Jingping is a very prescient staff officer. Every time the war stops, he will ask the correspondent to contact the artillery units and ask them to report the use of ammunition, so I will get the answer immediately as soon as I ask.
This is a bit like a secretary in modern times... An excellent secretary must be able to think about the boss and prepare everything in advance, such as booking air tickets in advance, etc.
From this point of view, Zhao Jingping did a good job. He was always able to grasp the latest situation in all aspects. With him, I could get the information I needed at any time, which undoubtedly saved me a lot of valuable time.
"Half of the ammunition has been destroyed!" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order the logistics troops to speed up the transport of shells!"
"We have contacted the logistics force!" Zhao Jingping replied: "They are already doing their best to transport, but now because the front-line war is very tight, the transportation pressure is quite high!"
"Yeah!" I replied helplessly.
I can understand this, and you must know that it is not only artillery soldiers who fight, but also soldiers who directly face the Vietnamese army on the front line.
Although there are still many ammunition reserves on the highlands on the Laoshan line, the problem is that it takes a long time to transport ammunition to these highlands... As mentioned before, it takes twenty-four hours to go back and forth, plus rest
It takes about two days to transport it.
Therefore, we can only replenish the front-line ammunition while shooting, otherwise if there is no blue or yellow connection, the problem will be big.
In addition, the ammunition consumed by the front-line troops was quite large, just like the previous few hours of shooting, our artillery soldiers used shells to pile up, while the front-line troops used bullets to pile up... This directly made the ammunition supplemented by the transport troops.
It's like a drop in the bucket.
But what can I do? Once the artillery loses shells, it is no different from the absence of artillery!
So I ordered: "Pass the order, no matter how stressed I have, I must hurry up and transport as many shells as possible!" (To be continued...)
