Chapter 295: Let the World's Eyes Fall to the Ground!
Bruce Willy held the military high-powered binoculars in both hands, and clearly saw the whole process of the two heavy armored bulldozers easily pulling out the extremely tricky firepower point of the Annan defenders.
Next, he observed again that whenever there were a difficult defender of Annam in the building, the two steel monsters would roar and rush forward to level the enemy, along with the entire building.
"The Chinese are so creative!" Bruce Willie muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that the bulldozer could be applied to the battlefield in this way, and the street fighting could still be fought like this! If we could have thought of such a way to deal with the street fighting of Annan's monkeys, maybe Annan would already belong to the United States......
Long before the official start of the war in China, the United States, Britain, and France sent a joint military observation group to enter the territory of Annam with the front-line troops of our army.
Bruce Willie was fortunate enough to be assigned to follow the 121st Division. Along the way, he carefully observed the various defense lines of the Shuojiang River that had been successfully conquered by our army. It was found that the defensive positions of the Annan army were deployed very well, and if the US army was to attack, there would definitely be no problem in taking the Shuojiang River, but whether it could be so devastating for the Chinese army, after Bruce Willy repeatedly weighed and compared, the answer was: NO!
At first, Bruce Willy found the fence attached to the Huaxia armored car, and thought that it was used by the soldiers in the car to dry clothes, but did not pay attention to it. But now, he has solemnly recorded one in his notepad: the Huaxia armored forces have found the most effective and easiest way to deal with RPG attacks, fence armor!
At the forefront of Banyang Village, Xiao Shandong was also lying dumbfounded behind the improvised fortifications on Liu Hongsheng's side, his eyes wide open and looking at the giant steel monster in front of him.
"Company commander, I've seen this thing, we call it a bulldozer, how did this bulldozer become a big killer?" Xiao Shandong turned his head to look at Liu Hongsheng in confusion and asked.
That's what the regimental commander called. Of course I call it that. Liu Hongsheng replied with a smile: "Xiao Shandong, this kind of military armored bulldozer is not the same as your bulldozer for road construction. The big guy's engine has more than 1200 horsepower. That's a lot of energy!"
With the assistance of two heavy armored bulldozers and two high-power excavators, the defenders of Annam, who tried to rely on the remnants of the buildings to fight street battles with our army, were all annihilated without suspense.
After taking Banyang Village, there is no barrier around the 592 Heights and Dawu Heights on the southwest side.
This is at the same time. The Northern Group of our Eastern Front Corps broke through Molong and completely annihilated the enemy's independent battalion, all the way like a bamboo. It successively conquered the two important places of Tongnong and Chaling, and then quickly seized the natural danger and peace and completely occupied the Koutun area.
At the moment when the enemy attempted to blow up the reservoir in the mountains east of Dongxi, our Black Panther special forces descended from heaven and annihilated all the enemy's engineers, making the enemy's tactics of flooding the three armies come to naught. And the enemy took control of the Shuikou Bridge one step ahead, occupied Fuhe County, and completely annihilated the enemy defenders.
The soldiers were so fast that the southern group did not have time to rest and recuperate, and occupied the 651st, 526th, and 490th heights on Boshan Mountain south of Gaoping one step ahead of the enemy. After waiting for work, the enemy Vietnamese army discovered our interspersed troops, and urgently transferred the 346th Regiment, the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and 9th Company of the 851st Regiment, the 20th Secret Battalion and a Hail "Anti-Tank Rocket Artillery Company" to annihilate them all and approached the urban area of Cao Bang from the east and south.
The Eastern Group successfully captured Tongdeng, and the mobile corps was full of physical strength and tenacious fighting style, and with its strong equipment superiority, it controlled all the high ground in the Pingjiangjia area, so that the Zhouqiao unit of our army's engineering corps successfully erected the pontoon bridge at the cost of only three minor injuries, thus opening up the advance channel for the follow-up large troops.
Our armored troops marched along Shuikou, Fuhe, Songshan, and No. 4 highways toward Gaoping City, and the momentum was unstoppable. Because our army's follow-up infantry all rode Type 63 armored personnel carriers, plus 24 Siberian Tiger main battle tanks opened the way, it was very smooth in the battle to storm and open Highway No. 4.
Historically, due to the lack of adequate preparation of our Opportunity Corps, in the strong attack on Highway No. 4, the troops paid a lot of senseless costs, especially the infantry units that took tanks, and suffered even more tragic disasters along the way, and some units in order to prevent the infantry from being thrown off the tanks, even used backpack straps to fix the soldiers on the tanks, resulting in the infantry not being able to get out of the car in time to fight when the interspersed troops were attacked, and they almost became fish on the iron plate, and some soldiers were still tied to the tanks to death, which was unbearable to see.
So far, our Eastern Front Group has successfully completed all the strategic goals of attacking Gaoping!
On the battlefield of the Western Front, our Western Front Group also successfully crossed the Red River at this time, attacked the urban area of Lao Cai, and wiped out the stubborn enemy, and then launched an attack on the whole line according to the unified deployment of the military region. Captured Xiluolou, Jinjitang, Tianxun, Malipo, Bananbang, Malutang, Liufayan, 1928 Heights and Buduo. 1. Go out to the Baima River, Daping, Babao, and Bubabao areas.
A reinforced battalion of the 91st Regiment attacked and annihilated the enemy in the Musang area, creating favorable conditions for the development of the offensive. After two days of preparation, the 31st Division, with the coordination of Unit 35504, launched an attack on the Basha Pass, capturing all the Basha Pass and the three highlands north and west of Badong, and clearing the remnants of the enemy on the spot.
Under the order of the Military Region, our 11th Army led the 31st Division and the 94th Regiment of the 32nd Division, and commanded the 35506 troops and eight companies of a certain frontier regiment to first annihilate the enemy in the Bananba, Malipo, and Budo areas, and then captured Bataan with a part of the army, and advanced to Nanzhen, where the main force captured the fiefdom and pinned down the enemy's 316A Division.
The powerful attack power displayed by the Chinese army made the eyes of the political leaders of all countries in the world fall to the ground.
This special Annam army is not made of tofu, right?!
In particular, the United States and France, who had learned the combat effectiveness of the Annan army, were even more shocked. It's not that the Annan army is too weak, but that the combat effectiveness of the Huaxia army is too strong!
On more than one occasion before the war, the Soviet government, which openly ridiculed our army as no match for the Annam Army, was silent at this time.
The entire border defense line almost completely collapsed, which made Wu Yuanjia, the commander-in-chief of the Annan Army, a little overstretched, and took care of one at the expense of the other.
Although the Annan army deployed three of the four most elite Soviet divisions on the northern front, most of the Annan army had already broken through into Cambodia at this time, and if reinforcements were returned at this time, the victory in hand might be gone.
In desperation, Wu Yuanjia divided the 346th Division, 316A Division, and 345th Division into pieces on the spot. An order to fight a guerrilla war with the Chinese army.
Obviously, Wu Yuanjia wanted to drag down the Chinese army through the mountain and jungle guerrilla warfare, which the Annan army was best at. In order to draw elite troops from the Annam Army that had invaded Cambodia to return to reinforcements and outflank the back of the Huaxia Army, gain time.
As everyone knows, it was Wu Yuanjia's order that almost completely buried the 346th Division, 345th Division, and 316A Division.
Huang Bianshan, who received the order from the division headquarters, immediately issued a decisive order to ensure the vitality of the 246th Regiment. The order for the withdrawal of the whole regiment from the 529 heights and the Great Nameless Heights.
As the bright flag of our army's August 1st Army fluttered in the wind on the empty 529 Heights, it was officially announced that the Shuojiang River, which was regarded by the Annam military as an impregnable wall, was destroyed by our army in less than a day. Successfully broke through and controlled, and completely opened up the passage for our follow-up troops to encircle Gaoping.
Banyang, Banli, Banya, Guilong, Boyuan Village, and Boyuan Nanbei Mountains were all controlled by our troops, and the street battles that the Annan army thought were all turned into floating clouds with the assistance of our special combat vehicles.
At 20 o'clock on the 17th, our army victoriously occupied the three regiments of the 121st Division in Shuojiang County, which was already an empty city, and rested on the spot while taking platoons as units. The remnants of the enemy troops who had withdrawn into the mountains and forests were cleared on the spot to ensure the smooth flow of the Pingmeng-Shuojiang-Gaoping road.
In the Battle of Shuojiang, the 121st Division of the 41st Army and its subordinate units inflicted heavy losses on the enemy's 246th Regiment, killing a total of 2,080 Vietnamese troops and capturing 59 people. 41 artillery pieces were captured. 8 cars and a number of various weapons and equipment. The 121st Division suffered 23 killed and 116 wounded.
From the launch of the attack at 4 a.m. on the 17th to the occupation of Shuojiang County at 8 p.m., it was already a full 20 hours ahead of the 36 hours scheduled by the Southern Military Region before the war.
In this battle, the shadow in the heart of the 121st Division was swept away because of the defeat of the 385th Regiment by the special forces of the Rock Mercenary Army, and the morale of the whole division was unprecedentedly high!
"What is different about us soldiers, just because we are all wearing simple military uniforms. What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers, since I left my hometown, it is difficult to see my father and mother......" The majestic and loud singing sounded over the rest and recuperation site of the 385th Regiment of the 121st Division.
Seeing this, the officers and men of the 386th Regiment naturally refused to show weakness.
"To put it mildly, I am also homesick, and my old mother at home is full of gray hair. To be honest, I also have love, and I often miss her in my dreams. Come, come, come...... Since you are here to be a soldier, you are here...... I know that the responsibility is great, if you don't carry a gun, I won't carry a gun, whoever defends our mother will defend her......"
The soldiers of the 384th Regiment heard the 386th Regiment and the 385th Regiment singing songs, so they also roared at the top of their voices:
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword qi is like frost. The heart is like the water of the Yellow River, twenty years, vertically and horizontally, who can resist. Hatred is crazy, the long knife goes, how many siblings are loyal to the soul buried in the country, how much to die to repay the family and the country......"
The three songs "Let's Be a Soldier", "Say a Word from the Heart" and "Serving the Country with Loyalty" are, of course, Director Yang's masterpieces.
The war is coming, if he doesn't write a few military camp songs that he sang with relishing in his previous life, then he won't be Yang Weiping.
One battalion and one company of the 385th Regiment, that is, the sharp knife company that conquered Banyang Village. At this time, Liu Hongsheng was leading Xiao Shandong, shouting "We are soldiers", and came to the safe area where the cooking class was located.
Under a Jane's military tent, surrounded by green screen screens. Inside, there was a Type 81 field cooking car, the cooking smoke was filled, and the wide and fat squad leader Hong Changsheng led the other five cooking soldiers of the cooking squad to prepare dinner for the officers and men of the whole company in an orderly manner.
"Lao Hong, what are you going to eat for dinner?" Liu Hongsheng sniffed the fragrant and spicy fragrance with the tip of his nose, and asked with a smile through the green screen cloth.
"Spicy diced chicken, beef stew soup, fragrant cabbage, plus Annamite rice. Hong Changsheng happily flipped through the big pot and spatula in his hand, and replied: "Company commander, our army killed no poultry and game in this battle, and I will make a table of delicious mountain delicacies for the whole company at noon tomorrow, so that everyone can change their taste."
