Chapter 205: Positional Offensive and Defensive Battles

"How can the Vietnamese army still have artillery fire to counterattack?" In the battalion headquarters command post of the independent reconnaissance battalion, Wu Tianming saw from the lens of the telescope that Gu Zelin's main attack platoon was pressed 600 meters away from the forward position of the Vietnamese army by artillery fire.

"Isn't the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army suppressed?

In the face of Wu Tianming's questioning, the artillery staff officer in charge of the liaison artillery group could not answer at all, so he could only pick up the liaison radio and continue to call the artillery group in the rear, while the signal corps of the battalion headquarters also reported the obstruction on the battlefield in real time to the command headquarters on the Chinese side in front of the Faka Mountain

At this time, the command headquarters can be described as extremely busy, when the first artillery fire sounded, all the people in the command headquarters were like a spinning top at high speed, countless coordination and notification of command commands, the battle situation in front of the Vietnamese army, and other information such as the movement of the Vietnamese army received and sent from here, and the staff officers either gathered around the battle report to think about the next combat plan, or shuttled back and forth to send and receive instructions, or lay in front of the map to draw the latest enemy situation on the map.

As the commander of the Faka Mountain operation, Xu Yuan, the No. 1 commander of the command headquarters, stood in front of the huge military map, and issued various combat orders quickly and in a targeted manner according to the development trend of the battlefield, and at this moment, a staff officer handed over the latest battle situation of the independent reconnaissance battalion, which made his brows brow like an iron lock, deeply locked together:

"Tell the artillery unit. Be sure to knock out this Vietnamese artillery group for me!"

"Yes!" The operational staff officer received the order to contact the artillery immediately, but it didn't take long for the operational staff officer to come to Xu Yuan's side again with a helpless look:

"Chief, the artilleryman replied. They had already fired several rounds at the Vietnamese artillery group here, but "

"Play the piano!" Before the combat staff officer finished speaking, Xu Yuan's eyebrows rose, and then he turned around and grabbed the phone on the table:

"Why hasn't the Vietnamese artillery who picked up the artillery for me to block the independent reconnaissance battalion have been defeated?" As soon as Xu Yuan's voice fell, there was a roar of artillery firing from the receiver of the phone, followed by the artillery commander's loud reply:

"Report to the chief, we calculated the approximate direction according to the front. Covered shooting was carried out, but the results were not ideal. Although the artillery observation post in front confirmed this position, it did not find the Vietnamese artillery position, and we speculated that the monkeys were too cunning to arrange the artillery position in the fortifications on the opposite slope of the high mountain. Our artillery observation posts at low levels are very difficult to spot and locate!"

"No matter what, I have to find out this Vietnamese artillery group for me and eliminate it!" Xu Yuan's tone was firm and unquestionable, and without waiting for the artillery commander to answer, Xu Yuan hung up the phone with a "pop!", and then smashed a fist on the table with a "bang!", which shook the items on the table:

"These monkeys are so cunning!" Xu Yuan, who is gentle and elegant on weekdays, couldn't help but scold his mother at this time, but scolding his mother is scolding his mother. But Xu Yuan's heart is very clear that the jungle in northern Vietnam is staggered with ravines and complex terrain. Artillery observation posts take a lot of time to go even to reconnoitre.

But now that the combat operation has begun, whether it is him Xu Yuan or the commanders and fighters who are fighting bloodily in front, the most precious thing is time, because of this, Xu Yuan, who has calmed down, stared at the map with his eyes, and then raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Commanding to the combat staff officer beside him:

"Ordered the two battalions responsible for assisting, intensifying the offensive. Relieves pressure for the independent reconnaissance battalion"

Xu Yuan's order was quickly transmitted to the forward position, and the artillery preparation at this time had ended, and with the extension of the artillery fire, the two battalions responsible for the assist launched a powerful centripetal assault on the main position of Faka Mountain, although it did not break through the Vietnamese defense line for the time being, but caused unprecedented pressure on the main position of the Vietnamese army.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the front of the Faka Mountain, Li Yongming had no choice but to ask the division headquarters again to adjust the artillery support plan, and divide the firepower of the artillery group in the only place located in the fortifications on the opposite slope into three to support the defense everywhere!

The independent reconnaissance battalion felt the weakness of the Vietnamese army's artillery the most, and the Vietnamese army's artillery fire suddenly decreased by two-thirds, but in front of the Faka Mountain, there was a loud burst of gunfire, the sound of explosions was incessant, and the sound of attack was stronger than one wave! Seeing that Wu Tianming, who was the battalion commander, naturally understood seven or eight points in his heart, so he picked up the radio walkie-talkie beside him and ordered loudly:

"Feng Xiaolei, your direct firepower and I have fought with all my strength, Gu Zelin will continue to attack with the support of his brother troops, and the task of planting the red flag cannot let others take the lead! The first company is to the east, the second company is to the west, and the third company is in the middle."

As Wu Tianming's series of orders were issued, the commanders and fighters of the independent reconnaissance battalion in charge of the attack soon plunged into the new offensive, and Gu Zelin, the commander of the main attack platoon, even divided the entire platoon into three echelons, taking advantage of the weakening of the Vietnamese artillery, facing the smoke of gunpowder and artillery fire, and using the craters left by the explosion of the shells, to leap forward in a low posture.

At this time, all types of firearms on the main position of the Vietnamese army opened fire together, and ammunition of various calibers was like a downpour, tilting on the top of the head of the main attack platoon, and several soldiers hung up in the blink of an eye, and even the arm of the platoon commander Gu Zelin was also hit by a grenade with a long blood mark, at this time Gu Zelin didn't care about bandaging at all, but shouted at Zhou Hao in the crater next to him:

"Zhou Hao, kill that anti-aircraft machine gunner for me!"

"Yes!" As soon as Gu Zelin's words fell, he saw Zhou Hao raise the new sniper rifle in his hand in the crater, adjust it slightly, and then pull the trigger, only to hear the shot of "bang!", the anti-aircraft machine gunner who was shooting desperately in the Vietnamese army position fell to the ground, but before Zhou Hao could celebrate this, he saw a burst of fire rising in the Vietnamese army position, and Zhou Hao secretly screamed when he saw this:

"Not good!"

Quickly jump out of your hidden crater. Then a roll drilled into Gu Zelin's crater, saying that it was too late, that it was fast, and Zhou Hao just hid in Gu Zelin's side. His originally hidden crater was instantly hit by Vietnamese mortars and bazookas, and after a few huge explosions, the crater instantly expanded several times, and Zhou Hao couldn't help but shed a cold sweat on his face when he saw this:

"Damn, fortunately, the reaction was fast, otherwise if you were next to these guys, Lao Tzu would have confessed here today!"

"These Vietnamese monkeys are getting better and better! This anti-sniper tactic is sharp enough. However, "Gu Zelin's words were not finished, and the anti-aircraft machine gun, which had been dumbed just now, once again spewed out dense tongues of fire. The bullet hit Gu Zelin's current moment, setting off a series of dust, making Gu Zelin and Zhou Hao quickly lie down:

"Phew~~Phew~~ But we don't eat dry rice! Feng Xiaolei's 82 is really a fire stick? Why don't you beat him up as a son of a bitch!"

"Whether it's armor-piercing shells or anti-personnel grenades, they all go out. Beat him up for me!" Just as Gu Zelin resumed the attack, Feng Xiaolei also quickly followed up with a recoilless artillery platoon, and then quickly set up the firing position, at this time, the attack in front was blocked again, Feng Xiaolei was also red-eyed, and the sweat on his face flowed down his blackened cheeks, forming lines of flesh and black intersecting, but Feng Xiaolei couldn't care so much, and touched the sweat on his face with his hand and ordered anxiously:

"Three guns. Concentrate on the No. 1 firepower point of the Vietnamese army, and release!"

"Bang, bang, bang!" With three dull cannon shots, two armor-piercing shells and one anti-personnel grenade flew straight towards the Vietnamese army's No. 1 firing point. Immediately there were three violent explosions, but this point of fire was only suspended for a short moment, and the sound of fierce machine gun fire sounded again, Feng Xiaolei held the binoculars and looked at it, with a trace of resentment and disappointment on his face:

"Hey, these monkeys have fucking learned to shrunk turtles, and these shells are so fucking strong. The armor-piercing bullet hit a small crater," but before he could finish speaking, he found Gu Zelin in the telescope as if he was from the original crater. Jumped forward for more than ten meters, hid in a crater further forward and hidden, seeing this, Feng Xiaolei's face showed a happy smile:

"Replace them all with anti-personnel grenades and hit them hard at the firing point, which can stop the firing point for a second!"

As soon as Feng Xiaolei's words fell, several mortar shells fell not far away, but Feng Xiaolei turned a blind eye to this, and once again decisively issued an order:

"Put!"

With the fire support of the battalion's mortar recoilless artillery platoon and its own light automatic grenade reflector and other equipment, Gu Zelin led the main attack platoon to use the smoke explosion and the dust raised as a cover, and jumped forward quickly, but the Vietnamese army obviously saw the intention of the squadron, and just began to withstand the attack of various types of ammunition, and the Vietnamese army's firepower point could still be suspended for a while, but until now,

The Vietnamese army also knew that if it continued like this, it would sooner or later be touched by the squadron, so the Vietnamese army relied on strong fortifications and fired at the squadron at various firing points non-stop, even if the bomb exploded at the gate of the fortification, injuring people and equipment, it would be quickly replaced, and the continuity of the shooting would not be affected in the slightest!

In the face of the frantic resistance of the Vietnamese army, Gu Zelin's main attack platoon was blocked again, and the pouring bullet rain weighed down so that they couldn't raise their heads at all, not only that, but the number of wounded in the platoon also increased, and two of the seriously wounded lost their combat effectiveness, even Gu Zelin was wounded in many places.

At this moment, Gu Zelin's face was covered with mud, smoke and blood, and his eyes were even more blood-red, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the Vietnamese army's position with dense tongues of fire, eager to go up and tear it to pieces immediately, but he knew that even if he was angry, he couldn't act rashly, otherwise the soldiers of the entire platoon might be reimbursed, at this moment, the command plane of the 884 squad platoon behind him suddenly sounded, and Wu Tianming's anxious voice came from inside:

"Gu Zelin, can you still arch forward? If not, you can withdraw, and I'll change the reserves!"

"Battalion commander, don't worry, there is no hard bone that our main attack platoon can't gnaw on!" After speaking, Gu Zelin put down the walkie-talkie and took down the portable bazooka from behind him, and Zhou Hao next to him couldn't help but say worriedly:

"Platoon commander! There are still nearly 500 meters away from the Vietnamese army's position, will it be fought at this time?"

Seeing this, Zhou Hao and the others all gave way to the side, and Gu Zelin couldn't help but say, opened the insurance, carried the portable individual bazooka, and didn't care whether he aimed or not, and pulled the trigger, a rocket with a thermobaric warhead, dragging the blazing flames, flew towards the front line of the Vietnamese army (to be continued)
