Chapter 335: The casualties are a bit big

The training regiment has always been the most elite in a unit, and the so-called 'teaching' means education and guidance, which not only has the function of training officers, but is also an important unit for training new recruits in this unit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This also means that the establishment with the word "teaching" is the core of a unit's inheritance, and whether the soldiers taught are good or not has a direct bearing on the combat effectiveness of this unit.

Of course, whether the troops themselves are strong or not depends on the troops, and if it is a logistics unit, the trained soldiers will be qualified and can be pulled up to fight, and the real front-line combat units are two different concepts in terms of combat effectiveness.

But paratroopers are strictly half of the special forces, and they are a very strong presence in the combat forces, perhaps second only to the special forces. The training regiment of the paratrooper brigade is even more perverted, almost from special forces, such instructors train in accordance with the highest requirements, the amount of exercise far exceeds the limit of the human body, and the soldiers have to rely entirely on their will to persevere, and it is not uncommon to practice dead people during training.

And the 2nd Battalion, as the most outstanding battalion of the paratrooper training regiment, naturally wanted to accumulate the most combat exploits in this siege battle and become the first unit to attack the city center, so as to live up to the reputation of elite airborne troops.

And now that the 2nd Battalion is blocked at the end of this main road, it cannot break through as soon as possible, and the hope of taking the city center is already very slim after this delay.

The garrison of this battalion of the Vietnamese army successfully broke through the air attack of our army, and after entering the city, the position of this overpass formed a defensive line. They arranged the main force in the bank building, and arranged fire on each floor to shoot at the street below, unless the whole building was cleared, the main road below would always be under threat, even if a Vietnamese soldier hid on it and opened fire, it would not be cost-effective to kill any of our soldiers.

In addition, the Vietnamese troops of this battalion also parked buses outside the three bridges under the overpass, and piled sandbags inside the buses to build a strong fortification. The Vietnamese soldiers hid inside the bridge and shot through the narrow gaps.

Several reinforced concrete buildings on both sides of the street were also controlled by the Vietnamese army, forming a funnel array to strike at our soldiers walking on the street from three sides.

After entering the city, the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion encountered sporadic firepower, most of which were black guns, and the Vietnamese troops who attacked and harassed were quickly killed.

The road was too lax, so that all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion were a little lax, this kind of low-intensity battle was like a vacation, many soldiers did not fire a single shot after entering the city, and they really couldn't find a target for them to shoot!

Everyone is extremely hopeful that they can meet a Vietnamese soldier and turn it into their own credit.

After the 2nd Battalion arrived here in a loose attack formation, it was suddenly attacked by fire from all sides, and suffered a big loss at the beginning. Several soldiers were shot and fell to the ground on the spot, but fortunately, they were protected by body armor and helmets, and they were not killed on the spot, but fell to the ground injured. Fortunately, a tank rushed over in time to act as a shield, and the teammates behind snatched the injured teammates back, and the wounded soldiers were immediately transported by transport helicopters to the rear for treatment.

The 2nd Battalion immediately cleared the Vietnamese troops from the surrounding low-rise buildings, and soon captured all the firing points except for the bank building and the bridge hole.

The inside of the bank building was cramped, and the Vietnamese troops were stationed inside, and if they attacked like this, they would inevitably suffer huge casualties, and the top brass of the 2nd Battalion hesitated and was discussing tactics.

After Chen Xu's attack team arrived, by observing the surrounding terrain, it could be seen at a glance that the Vietnamese troops in the bank building were just dying, and when the 1st and 3rd battalions on the left and right streets were opened, the building became a lonely dead place after the back road was copied, and the Vietnamese troops inside were just dying before the ammunition ran out.

But whether it is the 2nd Battalion or Chen Xu's attack team, what needs to be grabbed is time now, the bank building is now stuck at the end of this main road into the city center, especially the buses under the overpass completely block the road, if they don't clean up the Vietnamese troops on the bank building next to them, they will find an opportunity to shoot at the target downstairs in any of the rooms facing the street, and our soldiers will not be able to safely remove these buses.

"Can we take a detour to Ba Ting District? Those Vietnamese soldiers seem to want to fight against the water, and they can't solve it in an hour or two. The delay in breaking through the past and opening up the road made Chen Xu a little anxious. He crouched on the back wheel of a bullet-riddled Volga car, and looked through his binoculars at the glass building.

Under the impact of the shock wave of various bullets and explosions, the glass walls of the pale blue bank building have been shattered, and there is a broken corner of broken glass everywhere, and the main road below is also full of glass slag.

The Vietnamese troops were scattered on every floor and in every room facing the street, shooting at the downstairs, and the accuracy was very strong, and our officers and men could be hit as soon as they appeared.

Chen Xu had already seen several soldiers being carried on stretchers by his comrades to the intersection at the back, which was open enough for helicopters to land and transport the wounded soldiers.

There is no doubt that there must be deaths among these wounded soldiers, such a small firepower point has caused such serious casualties, and the Vietnamese army in this building has formed a blood feud with the 2nd battalion!

To put it mildly, even if these Vietnamese soldiers surrendered, they would be secretly killed by the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Battalion to avenge their comrades-in-arms.

"Boss, I just came, and I don't know if I can take a detour!" Raise this guy to squat next to him, let his body be completely blocked by this Volga car, just now a bullet grazed the roof of the car and crossed his eyes, so frightened that he no longer dared to poke his brain outside.

"Then why don't you hurry up and ask the commanders here, such as battalion commanders, company commanders, etc., and ask these officers to show us the way." Chen Xu slapped the helmet he had raised, and asked him to hurry up and find out the way.

Hold on to your helmet, take two teammates against the wall, and ask someone for directions. Most of Chen Xu's assault team sat in the car, parked in the distance and did not approach, only Chen Xu, the commander, took six team members to probe the situation in front.

At this time, the glass building opposite reflected the orange sunlight and illuminated the whole street particularly dazzlingly, Chen Xu opened his sleeve and looked at the electronic watch, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning, and it was a sunny day in Hanoi today.

Good lighting For the Vietnamese troops who shoot spot-and-shoot upstairs, it is easier to see the target below, but when the officers of the 2nd Battalion downstairs aim upstairs, they are easily stabbed by the light reflected by the glass, which is not conducive to shooting. (To be continued.) )
