The order was passed down, but everyone knew, including myself, that the order would not have much effect.*
Logistics troops are also human beings. They are also transported by cars and carried on one shoulder. There are only so many resources. It is impossible for one of them to be used by two people.
Therefore, my order just gave them a sense of urgency.
Now, there are only two things I wish for:
One is that the Vietnamese army is not as numerous as Commander Jiang expected; the other is that the Vietnamese army retreated in the face of difficulties or delayed this suicidal attack.
Otherwise, another result is likely to occur on the battlefield the moment our shells are fired...the Vietnamese army successfully broke through our defense line and occupied Laoshan.
This is indeed a trap we set, but originally we thought it was a wolf, so we dug a trap that could catch the wolf, but what we didn’t expect was an elephant, which might not be able to eat us.
Went away in a circle.
But my hope soon proved unrealistic, because ten minutes later the Vietnamese army launched another charge against our defense line.
There was nothing new in the battle. The Vietnamese army's adjustment was only to spread out the formation during the charge and slow down the charge... After all, this was a daytime charge. If they still launched a group charge like at night, even if they had
Even tens of thousands of people cannot afford this kind of consumption.
However, I believe that the Vietnamese army is also consciously consuming our army's ammunition. Because it is obvious that the Vietnamese commander will also think of one thing: firing artillery like the Chinese, that is, using artillery shells to blast a wall of fire at the front of the position.
, its firepower is fierce and its lethality is great, but its disadvantage is undoubtedly the large consumption of shells.
In addition, the Vietnamese army had no retreat. So their only hope was to consume as many shells as possible.
But at the same time, the Vietnamese commander also realized one thing: if they want to achieve the strategic goal of consuming the shells that hit the enemy, their charge formation cannot be too scattered. At the same time, the speed cannot be too slow.
The reason is very simple. If it is too dispersed or too slow, the Chinese artillery does not need to take action at all. The submachine guns and machine guns on the defense line can solve the problem.
To put it simply, the current strategy of the Vietnamese army is to exchange human lives for our artillery shells, and in the process of exchange, we must master a certain degree of control, so as to allow our artillery to take action without causing too many casualties.
The Vietnamese army has a good grasp of this point. After all, the Vietnamese army in front of us is the 316a Division, the ace unit of the Vietnamese army. Their high quality and battlefield coordination ability allow them to fully judge the situation of our artillery on the battlefield, and based on
React accordingly to the situation.
That is to say, as soon as they heard the whistling of artillery shells in the air, they would suspend the attack and find cover. When our artillery fire slowed down a little, they would immediately get up from the ground and attack our defense line.
It should be said that the Vietnamese commander finally did one thing right from the beginning of the war to now.
His countermeasure put me in a dilemma: Should I fire the cannon when the Japanese invaders rushed up? Or should I not fire the cannon?
If we fire artillery, although we can temporarily suppress the Vietnamese army, there are not many enemies that can be effectively killed... In fact, the effective kills are quite considerable, not to mention that the Vietnamese troops we kill are all of the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Army, which is of very good quality, so
Generally speaking, this exchange can be regarded as a victory for our army.
But the problem is that our army's artillery shells cannot withstand consumption.
If you don't fire the artillery or delay the artillery fire, this can indeed achieve the purpose of saving artillery shells. However, the Vietnamese army's charge formation is quite dense... Although the formation is looser than in the early morning, it is still denser than usual.
Although the human sea tactic has been proven to be ineffective with the emergence of machine guns, the problem is that if these human seas are composed of highly qualified veterans who have combat experience and can adapt to changes, it will be quite scary.
Because they will use the corpses of their comrades at the front, because they will consciously coordinate with sniper rifles, and because they will catch every mistake the enemy makes.
Coupled with the several charges last night, all the roadblocks in front of our defense line no longer exist... All the landmines have been trampled by the Vietnamese army, the barbed wire fence is filled with Vietnamese corpses, and there are even places that are not easy to climb.
They were all piled up like stairs by the Vietnamese army with corpses.
All of this puts our defense line at risk of being breached by the Vietnamese army.
Facts have also proved this, because during this period I consciously reduced some artillery shells...that is, instead of blasting a wall of fire at the front of the position, I replaced it with limited artillery assistance.
The purpose of doing this is very clear, which is to see if our defense line can block the Vietnamese army's charge or to what extent.
But I soon discovered that this test was actually of little significance, because as long as our artillery shells were weak...the Vietnamese troops on the front line would immediately feel this, so they immediately launched a more intense charge against our defense line. Within a few minutes
Later, several positions will issue calls to the artillery to "request artillery support."
This forced us to maintain the intensity of artillery bombardment against the Vietnamese army.
Later, I learned from the front-line infantry that although the Vietnamese army seemed to have grasped the shortcomings of our army, the Vietnamese army was still very pitiful on the battlefield... In the eyes of our infantry, what they saw was the Vietnamese army.
Team after team rushed into our army's artillery fire.
The Vietnamese army has no choice. If they don't attack our army, they won't fire artillery. If they don't fire artillery, they won't be able to achieve the purpose of consuming our army's artillery shells.
At this time, our army's artillery fire was like a passing machine: a large number of Vietnamese troops entered from one end, and only a small number of Vietnamese troops came out from the other end, and many of those who came out had severed arms and legs.
Those who lost control held a gun with one hand while charging and shooting randomly at our army's positions. Some of those with broken legs crawled on the ground towards our army's defense line, and some could even continue to advance by jumping on one foot.
Some Vietnamese soldiers saw the soldiers in front falling down in rows under the gunfire, so they turned back. However, they did not run away, but knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the south, thinking that they were bidding farewell to their homeland.
The meaning of relatives. After kowtowing, he rushed into the wall of fire with a gun...
If we continue to fight like this, it will be rare for a few Japanese soldiers to rush into our defense line. Occasionally, a few of them will rush forward and they will fight our troops like crazy, shouting even though they know they can't survive.
Shoot violently, or directly set off explosives and rush towards our military fortifications.
All of this also made our soldiers deeply feel that it is not enough for a nation or an army to have a tenacious spirit. It must also be armed with science and technology, which is what we emphasized at this time "building a modern army."
