Sokolovsky had never felt so scared lying in a traffic trench, knowing that he was also a veteran, especially during his time as a military adviser, he had experienced the test of life and death, whether it was the Egyptian air defense position in the Third Middle East War, the Syrian Golan Heights in the Fourth Middle East War, or the civil war in an African republic, he had countless brushes with death.

But in Sokolovsky's opinion, although he walked in the face of death, he always felt that death ignored him at that time, although it was very close, but it always walked around him, but this time it was different, instead of walking around him, the god of death rushed towards him in a daze, and even a hand had already grabbed his neck.

"Comrade Colonel, Comrade Colonel!" just as Sokolovsky was in a panic, his adjutant Ilyutin crawled to his side, his voice became hoarse, but still hissing and shouted at Sokolovsky:

"Comrade Colonel, what should we do? The artillery fire of the Chinese is too fierce, Comrade Colonel, you quickly think of a way, I don't want to die here!"

Ilyutin's words calmed down Sokolovsky at once, yes, he must not die here, he must get out alive, a strong desire to survive**, so that Sokolovsky regained his confidence, anyway, Sokolovsky is also a veteran of battle, after calming down, he quickly judged the artillery situation that attacked them:

"This should be China's Type 59 130mm cannon, although the firepower density is large, but the projectile caliber is smaller, and it is not as powerful as our 152mm bullet!"

"That's right, Comrade Colonel, it's just that I just roughly calculated that the range of their 130mm cannon is nearly 30 kilometers, it should not be their Type 59, but a new type of cannon!" Although Ilyutin is only a young artillery captain, as Sokolovsky's adjutant over the years, he has also seen a lot of the world when he travels south and north, so he can still keep a clear head in this grim situation!

Listening to Ilyutin's words, Sokolovsky couldn't help but nodded, but this was not the time to discuss new Chinese artillery after all, so Sokolovsky pointed to the southwest:

"I heard the sound of the cannon, it seems to be a dead end for their shooting, let's climb in that direction!"

As he spoke, Sokolovsky moved away from the pile of bombed Vietnamese corpses in front of him and crawled with difficulty towards the southwest of the position

"Hey! This artillery is really exciting!" Just when Sokolovsky was struggling to survive, in the artillery observation post set up opposite the Vietnamese army, an observer raised the telescope in his hand and shouted with excitement, but as he spoke, the soldier put down the telescope and asked Lu Weijun, who was observing on the artillery mirror, puzzled:

"Staff Officer Lu, you said that the rear had such a plan for a long time, why didn't you tell us in advance, which also made us happy and happy, but instead adopted radio silence?"

"If you are happy, the enemy may be even happier than you!" At this time, Lu Weijun had already guessed the reason why the rear side should adopt radio silence, after all, the communication equipment in their hands still used old objects more than ten years ago, not to mention the bulkiness, and the secrecy was not strong, as long as the Vietnamese army casually assumed a high-power listening device, they could catch their calls, similar things, Lu Weijun had heard several times on the front line, thinking of this, Lu Weijun couldn't help but feel generalized:

"Our communication equipment is still too backward!"

Several observers who followed Lu Weijun were also veterans who had gone through several days of baptism of war, although Lu Weijun's words were not explained, but they also knew the meaning in their hearts, and they couldn't help but nod in agreement, Lu Weijun saw that the soldiers around him were silent about the communication equipment, and felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so he hurriedly smiled and said:

"Regardless of whether our communication equipment is good or not, we have won this battle, which shows that our army is not only brave, but also intelligent!"

As he spoke, Lu Weijun swept the surrounding soldiers who were already rejuvenated and continued: "So we must complete the task assigned by our superiors, now I order, put away the observation device, and immediately advance forward after the artillery fire stops!"

"Staff Officer Lu, isn't the artillery position of the Vietnamese army being taken by us, what can we fight if we go forward again?"

"Assault!" As soon as one of the observers' words fell, Lu Weijun scolded with a smile: "After the artillery is fired, the Vietnamese army will not be used as a reserve for counter-assault?"

"Understood, Staff Officer Lu!" the observer stood up to the landing Weijun and then went down to prepare, while Lu Weijun raised his head and looked at the infinitely wide hinterland of Vietnam to the south, with an extremely proud smile on his face

At noon, by a small river 8 kilometers south of the 152mm cannon position where the Vietnamese army was eliminated, the ragged Sokolovsky squatted by the river, desperately scooping up the water in the river with his arms, and then frantically sucked the river water in his hands with his mouth, but when he was halfway through drinking, a corpse of the Vietnamese army floated in front of him with a belly that had been broken by artillery fire and severed hands and feet, the yellowish skin had been soaked white by the river water, and the hideous and terrifying face was staring at Sokolovsky upright.

Sokolovsky couldn't help but turn away when he saw this, and his whole body immediately began to vomit uncontrollably, and when he vomited all the only things in his stomach, the whole person collapsed on the edge of the riverbed as if all his strength had been drained, and at this time the terrible corpse had already flowed away with the river.

Seeing this, Sokolovsky's mood calmed down a little, and then he struggled to sit up, looking back at the road he had come, only to see countless black smoke floating within a few kilometers, and the intermittent explosions still hit his eardrums, making his whole body shiver.

After Sokolovsky and Ilyutin climbed out of the Vietnamese artillery position with difficulty, they thought that they would be safe and sound, and then came to a Vietnamese army assembly area not far from the artillery position, but before the two of them could raise their legs and enter the door, the Chinese artillery chased them straight like they had eyes, and the entire Vietnamese army assembly area was turned into a ball of cannon fodder under the Chinese artillery fire

However, Sokolovsky and Ilyutin still have a big fate, although they experienced two shellings, but the two escaped death, I thought this terrible thing was over, but I didn't expect that their nightmare had just begun, every time they came to a Vietnamese army assembly area, Chinese artillery shells would come over, and every time they arrived at a Vietnamese army logistics supply station, Chinese shells would fall on time, and just half an hour ago, his adjutant Ilyutin was in the middle ** After the artillery fire, the team finally failed to get back on its feet, and Sokolovsky saw this, so he could only leave the corpse of his companion and flee alone

Looking back at the road of death he had just walked, Sokolovsky could not help but have some lingering palpitations, but as a professional soldier, he had too many doubts in his heart, he admitted that his artillery tactics had failed, and he was sure that the Chinese used anti-listening technology and radio silence, but he did not understand why the Chinese artillery could shoot so far.

On the 152mm artillery position of the Vietnamese army, Ilyutin estimated that the artillery position of the Chinese was about 30 kilometers away, knowing that a superpower like the Soviet Union, the world's first military power, and the country that eventually developed and produced artillery, his artillery rarely reached a range of 30 kilometers.

However, China's 130mm artillery could not help but reach 30 kilometers, and chased itself all the way like a long eye for seven or eight kilometers, Sokolovsky is a well-trained soldier, he knows from the explosive power and reaction speed of the shells, this way chasing his artillery has not moved its position at all.

It is precisely because of this that while Sokolovsky has palpitations, he can't help but be secretly surprised, with a range of nearly 38 kilometers, even the Soviet Union has no artillery that can compete with this kind of artillery, and the 130mm guns of the squadron have such a large range, so what will happen to their 152mm guns? Do they have any larger caliber guns in their hands?

Thinking of this, Sokolovsky's body couldn't help but shiver again, and at this time, his mind recalled the words of a certain general of the Military Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Soviet Army before leaving the country:

"The guns of the squadron are all old antiques that can enter the museum, and our children's slingshots shoot farther than their shells!"

In the face of such ironclad facts, the general's words are simply a kind of irony and joke, and thinking of this, Sokolovsky's face stained with black ash can't help but give birth to a sense of anger:

"You should really pull these officials and men in Moscow over to see how fierce the Chinese artillery really is, and how smelly the words in their mouths are!"

Just as Sokolovsky's self-contained complaint was uttered, the northern sky once again resounded with the whistling of shells, and Sokolovsky did not dare to stay longer, so he quickly got up and fled desperately in the direction of Hanoi

For a whole morning, in addition to knocking down a long-range artillery position of the Vietnamese army, the independent artillery regiment relied on the accurate guidance of the landing and maintenance troops, and with the cooperation of other fraternal units, successively knocked out four troop assembly areas and five logistics supply depots of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time, by the way, the starting position of the strategic reserve used by the Vietnamese army for counter-assault 38 kilometers away was destroyed to Lianwo, so that the Vietnamese army could not be seen at all in the depth of dozens of kilometers around Liangshan City。

At this time, the independent artillery regiment was carrying out supplementary firing, aiming to sort out the position of the Vietnamese army again like a plough rake, and at this time, the regimental interpreter of the independent artillery regiment hurriedly found the regiment commander with a telegram from the front headquarters, and after the regiment commander glanced at the content of the telegram, he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, and immediately grabbed the telephone on the table:

"Take all gun emplacements and observation posts!"

When the regimental commander confirmed that all the gun positions and observation posts had picked up the earpieces, he said in an excited voice rather than a calm voice: "The chief of the general command sends a telegram of commendation:

Chinese artillery!"

After the regiment commander finished speaking, there was silence in the earpiece at first, but then there was a shout of a mountain and a tsunami:

"Great! Chinese artillery!"
