Chapter 301 New 52 x caliber 155mm howitzer VS Soviet-made 2A36 152mm cannon
"A division of Chinese artillery units?" Zhang Fuzhong, who was holding the communication command plane, couldn't believe his ears when he heard the report of the artillery group on the east side, but before he could continue to ask questions, an anxious shout came from inside the communication headset:
"That's right, Comrade Commander, you are also an old artilleryman, you should be able to judge from your voice"
Without waiting for the roar accompanied by a violent explosion in the earpiece, Zhang Fuzhong threw the intercom device on the table with a "bang~~", and then rushed out of the artillery field headquarters in three steps and two steps, due to the deployment of the two 130mm cannon groups and the finished zigzag formation of the 2A36 152mm cannon group where Zhang Fuzhong was located, the distance between the positions was not far away, so the artillery sound of the 130mm cannon group on the east side of the attack was felt particularly real on the 152mm cannon position.
I saw dozens of fireballs rising into the air with a huge explosion on the east side of the artillery group's position, and the sky-high fire was particularly dazzling and dazzling in the darkness before dawn, especially the sound of the explosion, which was like a burst of explosions, and it was impossible to tell whether the raindrop-like shells were exploding, or the 130mm cannon position on the east side was detonated by a huge ammunition depot.
All in all, the sound of the explosion can be described as deafening, even on the 152mm cannon position a few kilometers away, the eardrums of the Vietnamese troops present are inevitably under tremendous pressure, so that the minds of some recruits who have just joined the army "buzz~~" sounded, and an inexplicable panic was unconsciously engraved on their young faces.
Compared with the recruits, those experienced veterans are not much better, in the face of the overwhelming blows of the squadron, although the face is still pretending to be calm, but everyone's heart has rewritten the word "fear" countless times, and some people have opened their lips and prayed silently, hoping that this apocalyptic artillery fire will not fall on their heads.
Compared with these Vietnamese officers and soldiers, Zhang Fuzhong, who looked at the sky-rushing fire in the distance, was even more shocked in his heart, and his round eyes looked at Tuan Tuan Rising in an incredible distance, and the flickering firelight revealed Zhang Fuzhong's gloomy and dazed face in a bright and dark way. The slightly protruding lips kept twitching, and he muttered to himself:
"How is it possible, how is it possible that the Chinese artillery on the opposite side is only the strength of four artillery regiments, counting mortars, when will there be an additional artillery division of the whole system"
Zhang Fuzhong kept chattering, after all, from the inside of his heart. He didn't believe what was happening in front of him at all, but in the face of iron-clad facts, no matter how much he didn't believe it, he had to accept the established facts in front of him, just like the commander of the artillery group on the east side said on the communication machine just now, Zhang Fuzhong was an old artilleryman. His rich experience in artillery has enabled him to develop a lot of excellent skills, and this ability to judge the size of the enemy's artillery by listening to the sound of artillery bombardment is a piece of cake for him.
But today, Zhang Fuzhong really really hopes that his ability, which has brought him countless praises, does not exist at all, for no other reason, but because he has judged from the sound of explosions that he cannot distinguish the number of shells falling at the same time, at least forty or fifty rounds, such an attack density, only a whole artillery division can launch such a fierce salvo.
In addition to this, the fireballs rising from the clusters and the constant churning waves of air. Zhang Fuzhong also determined that this artillery division was not China's usual multi-artillery mixed artillery division, but a new artillery division equipped with large-caliber heavy artillery, and in the face of such an artillery unit with a heavy hammer, the 130mm cannon group on the east side would be beaten into parts with just a salvo strike.
Because of this, Zhang Fuzhong at this moment really hopes that his judgment is wrong, after all, the artillery group on the east side is nearly a regiment of 130mm cannons, which is not only an important strike firepower in his hands, but also the core pillar force in the artillery combat system of the entire Gaoshan front, if this artillery group is defeated. It is tantamount to cutting off one of the arms of the artillery unit of the prison mountain
"Comrade Commander, the shelling of the squadron has ended, what should we do? Rescue the wounded and equipment?"
Just as Zhang Fuzhong was in deep thought, the adjutant's words suddenly alerted him, and it was only then that he realized that the Chinese artillery's one-minute fire attack had ended, and the deafening explosion had gradually fallen silent, leaving only the blazing flames burning in the valley in the distance.
Seeing this, this scene. Zhang Fuzhong, who had just recovered from the shock, still had a gloomy face, but the previous trace of confusion had been replaced by a layer of angry anger.
Even if the 122mm and 152mm two artillery groups were wiped out, even if the 130mm artillery group on the east side was wiped out, but he still had enough cards in his hand to compete with the Chinese artillery, and China had suffered heavy losses in the previous counterattack, and now put this trump card on the press, directly knock out his three artillery groups, such results are brilliant enough, but it will also expose this artillery unit that in his opinion, is China's absolute trump card, because of this, in the eyes of Zhang Fuzhong, an artillery commander who has experienced a hundred battles, the current situation is not only not a dead end, but a golden opportunity!
Just as the Chinese instructor said when he was studying at the China Artillery Command College: "It is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its five fingers!" Today, this reorganized heavy artillery division is the finger of the Chinese artillery sticking out, and as long as it is broken, even if it suffers huge losses, it will be worth it.
Because Zhang Fuzhong knew that with China's current national strength, it was impossible for such divisions to exceed three, and if they could really be eliminated, the situation on the entire Sino-Vietnamese border would be qualitatively reversed, and then the Vietnamese artillery would truly dominate the entire Sino-Vietnamese war situation, and it would not be impossible to turn defense into offense.
Because of this, when the adjutant's voice gradually fell, Zhang Fuzhong's unquestionable words resounded throughout the entire position: "Counterattack, counterattack at all costs, hasn't the 'pangolin' been contacted yet?"
"Report to Comrade Commander, 'Pangolin' communications are always in a state of blind sound!" Hearing Zhang Fuzhong's questioning, the adjutant hurriedly replied:
"However, the staff officers of the General Staff Department have roughly judged their specific location based on the sound of the Chinese shelling, the landing point and the duration!"
"Where?"
"Area 13, a rare open space"
Before the adjutant could finish speaking, Zhang Fuzhong's swarthy face instantly distorted together, and he shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for? You can order all the artillery groups to aim at this target and hit me hard."
But just as Zhang Fuzhong's "fight" When the words just came out of one-third of the mouth, and the other two-thirds were still in the throat, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled violently, and then the adjacent 130mm cannon position on the west side was instantly on fire, and the huge explosion resounded through the world, just like the 130mm cannon group on the east side before, the super strong air wave swept in the blink of an eye, and several thin Vietnamese soldiers near the side were instantly overturned to the ground, and at this moment a communications staff officer staggered out of the artillery field headquarters, and said wildly while running:
"Comrade Commander, Comrade Commander, the 130mm cannon group on the west side was fiercely attacked by Chinese artillery, and the estimated strength is one artillery division"
"Shut up!" At this time, Zhang Fuzhong's eyes were torn and bloodshot, like a gambler who had lost everything, and yelled at the communications staff officer who had stumbled and fell, and then he turned his body to his adjutant's side, pointed to the trembling earth under his feet, and continued to roar:
"What are you waiting for in this 152mm cannon position?
"Yes!" The adjutant replied very happily to Zhang Phu Chung's order, and the Vietnamese officers and soldiers on the position reacted very quickly, but it was not easy to adjust the orientation of these behemoths weighing nearly 20 tons, but fortunately, under the training of Soviet instructors, the training of the Vietnamese 2A36 type 152 cannon regiment was very good, but even so, it was already ten minutes later when the first wave of counterattack guns was discharged.
At this time, China's attack on the 130mm cannon group on the west side had long ended, and like the east side, all of them were beaten into parts, but no matter what, Zhang Fuzhong still felt that the final victory still belonged to him, because his trump card, the Soviet-made 2A36 152mm cannon, was definitely a heavy hammer that could crush the opponent into powder
"I really didn't expect the Vietnamese army to react so quickly! In less than ten minutes, the firepower of this counterattack came overwhelmingly!" The staff officer of the front command of the combat office in the cabin of the new artillery radar stared at the dense green dots on the target screen, and couldn't help but exclaim, but it didn't take long for his exclamation to become an unconcealed worry, and then he shouted at Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun behind him without worry:
"Look, the result of the calculation of the shell landing point is the position of the independent artillery battalion, we need to inform them quickly"
"If you inform them now, it will probably be too late to run!" Without waiting for the combat staff officer to finish speaking, Lu Weijun, who was standing behind him, said firmly with a confident smile, and the combat staff officer couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, but before he could react, Lu Jiadong on the other side took over the conversation with the same smile:
"Now that the war has been fought, the Vietnamese have finally shown their roots, now let's see who can be better in the duel between the new 52 times caliber 155mm howitzer and the Soviet-made 2A36 152mm cannon!" )
