Volume 2 Southern Xinjiang Gunsmoke Chapter 047 The Longest Night (I)
Hong Yan wore earmuffs* nervously observing the impact point and the tank. Yes, although medium tanks cannot move and can only be beaten passively, the protection made by the death-scared Midi is absolutely in place. As long as it is not a direct hit, the people inside the tank are still safe. And the infantry outside did not suffer much casualties with the help of tanks and anti-artillery holes.
The sound of artillery has gradually faded, and the Vietnamese troops have moved to 200 meters in front of the position. Hong Yan found that a Vietnamese soldier had just emerged, observing the road left and right, when suddenly a straw hat-shaped steel helmet flew up, and a canopy of blood mist and small pieces of flesh and bone splashed out. It's a sniper! It turned out that Hou Chengzhi hid behind a boulder and fired.
"Suddenly", the Vietnamese heavy machine opened fire, covering the infantry to charge forward. More than 100 Vietnamese soldiers rushed out of the hiding place and jumped forward on the hillside. They deserve to have rich experience in mountain warfare, and they are as agile as apes in the mountains.
"Shoot!" Wang Baoyi gave the order, and the parallel machine guns on the tank opened fire at the same time.
"Kill the Vietnamese monkeys!"
"Damn, Vietnamese monkeys are jumping so fast!"
"Heavy machine, heavy machine block!"
The sound is rather chaotic, mixed with the sound of gunshots like fried beans, which makes it difficult to hear. The parallel machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns on the tank were fired at the same time, and Shi Yanbin's 12.7 Gaoping dual-purpose was also added at the right time. His shooting was very rhythmic and rhythmic, almost always three or five short shots, but every time he shot at the Vietnamese army's offensive formation, there might be sky-high blood and earth-shattering screams.
Hong Yan paid attention to Hou Chengzhi's blocking point. The results were very good, and the heavy machine gun positions of the Vietnamese army were dumb after a while. The main shooter was overshot and fell backwards. The co-shooter looked ahead in surprise and was urged up by the officer. He was just about to take aim when he was knocked down by the "monkey". Immediately someone shouted: "Snipers, there are snipers in Beikou!" ”
The sniper wants to transfer the sniper position, and Hong Yan also wants Shi Yanbin to transfer the position. The mortars on the high ground of the Vietnamese army could not blow up the tanks, but they could deal with the unobstructed heavy aircraft positions. Shi Yanbin and Wang Xiaotie ran with Hong Yan, and as soon as they lay down, there was a whistling sound of mortar shells from the rear, and they fell on the position just now in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the Vietnamese army in the south also attacked. However, they clearly did not expect the defensive firepower to be so strong. Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and tank guns, interspersed with snipers harvesting the lives of Vietnamese soldiers. In just a few minutes, a small half of the Vietnamese troops attacking from the north and south were halfway down.
Kankan, who had two legs long, rushed fifty meters away from the tank and set up a bazooka to aim at the tank on the edge of the cliff. Suddenly, bullets from the submachine gun swept over the head like a wind. The two immediately collapsed in a pool of blood.
"Nima, enough arrogance!" Zhang Yongping was forced to choose the launch position with 81. Yang Fan's group also chose a good position next to it. The loader screwed the fuse on the shell and stacked ten behind him. Then, move the remaining shells and fuses to another position.
Zhang Yongping and Yang Fan squinted and gestured their fingers, visually measuring the direction and distance. One person aimed at one of the opponent's gun positions, and there was no need to test fire at all, and each gun fired ten rounds rapidly. "Knock...... Shout...... Boom", the cannon burst into the chamber, streaked across the sky, and exploded on the ground. Fire and smoke rose from the mortar positions of the Vietnamese army, and two guns were dumb. In the telescope, the gunner's body was torn and flew up. Stronger flashes and thicker smoke rolled up on the "boom" position, and a muffled thunderous sound came. The shit arrived, and the opponent's ammunition was hit and exploded.
"Yay!" The gunner and loader high-fived in celebration. Then, hastily set up the mortar and ran.
The casualties of the Vietnamese army were too great, and the situation was unfavorable, and the remaining dozen Vietnamese soldiers immediately lay down and retreated to the starting position. There was a brief silence on both sides.
The retaliatory shelling of the Vietnamese army began again. This time the artillery fire was more intensive, covering the exposed points of fire, including mortar emplacements. Then another offensive of the Vietnamese army began, and without any suspense, it was again repulsed. This time, though, someone was injured. The wounded were soldiers of another corps who had been rescued and were wounded by shells while protecting themselves from a sneak attack outside the tank.
It was getting dark, and after another wave of failed attacks, the Vietnamese army completely retreated into the position. More than 100 casualties and heavy losses.
"Good! Sister Xiaoling, pull out the needle for him in an hour! Hong Yan bandaged Wang Yong with the last piece of gauze and said to Lin Xiaoling, who was working on the side.
"Hmmm! Got it! Lin Xiaoling agreed very happily, and her eyes flashed with admiration.
withstood several waves of attacks, five people were killed, six were seriously injured, and the most serious Wang Yong's left leg was broken in two, and the skin and flesh fascia were completely broken. Hong Yan didn't have the ability to renew the severed limb. However, because the call was timely, Hongyan's hemostatic measures were in place, and the wounded did not shed too much blood, so now the injury is still stable and has to be amputated. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "This heroic soldier will be disabled for the rest of his life!" ”
With the cooperation of the two women, after checking the injuries of all the wounded, it was completely dark. At this time, all the fighters temporarily relaxed, checked the ammunition, and took the opportunity to replenish energy. Hong Yan and the guide ran from point to point, delivering necessary food, water, and fruit. The ordinary soldiers who had been rescued once again enjoyed a dinner that was far better than that at home, and the strength lost from the tense defense in the afternoon slowly recovered.
"I have asked the teams to strengthen their defenses, leaving only one person in the tank to control the machine gun, and the other fighters are on guard outside. Alas, there are still too few people, and I always feel that there are many loopholes. Wang Baoyi straightened his legs and said a little tiredly.
"Well, the defensive area is too big, and the strength is really insufficient!" Hong Yan nodded in agreement.
"So, the defensive task is too heavy at night. During the day, the Vietnamese army did not get a good deal, suffered heavy losses, and would have attacked at night...... It's not a quiet night! There was no moonlight, and the two of them were talking opposite each other. Wang Baoyi poured a sip of water and seemed to say very pleasantly: "Your honey water is much better than Na Laoshizi's cola...... You rest a little earlier, you're tired enough from last night until now. I was also confused for a while. ”
Wang Baoyi said to himself, and then hid in the bunker and took a nap. Even if the Vietnamese army wants to sneak attack, it will not choose this point in time, and the light and dark posts have been arranged, and the soldiers who have eaten dinner are wrapped in blankets and hurry to rest. No one knows how tragic it will be tonight.
At this time, Colonel Huang Yongma, the commander of the 345th Division Headquarters in Tangtang, was furious. The back road has been firmly wedged with a nail. The road near the Red River was completely exposed to enemy fire, and three waves of attacks were fruitless, losing hundreds of soldiers, two helicopters and several tanks. Even so, it is still unknown how many opponents there are, and the only thing that can be known is that the firepower is strong.
There were only the roar of Division Commander Huang and the cautious staff officers and guards in the headquarters. He was filled with grief and anger, hating the "armed invasion" of China and complaining about the indecision and arrogance of the command. The forces in his hands were stretched thin, and he had to defend against a possible frontal attack from Huaxia and ensure the safety of the rear. In the afternoon, the attack of two companies was already the greatest effort, but they did not achieve an inch, but they hit a pimple.
No one reported to him the passage of large forces through the defensive line. The most likely thing is the infiltration of a small group of people. But how can the powerful firepower explain? Incredibly, several Miti's medium tanks were found hiding halfway up the mountain. Although the tank cannot play an assault role, it is a great weapon as a defensive fire support. However, there is also good news, that is, this group of people can't run away. More than 40 lightly and seriously wounded people were rescued, and they were dragged here at the same time.
Thinking of the interception of the captured soldiers in Huaxia, he couldn't help but have a pain in his brain. The heroic Chinese soldiers who swore to die were also captured. Sent back to Hanoi for journalists from all over the world to take pictures and let the great Vietnamese people visit, what a great credit is lost. If this battle is not fought well, the official will be lost, and his life will be lost here.
After the outburst, there is frustration. He was still circling in his mind: "Even if the battlefield is lost, as long as you cross the Meng Bridge and the Huaxia army can't catch up, then you will be able to escape." "In order to ensure safety, it was originally planned to transfer the headquarters to Kuangmeng tonight. However, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go through a tough battle.
Hong Yan returned to the ambulance station and instructed the two women and the wounded soldiers: "You guys hurry up and rest, I'll be on duty for a while!" "Everyone knows the arrangement on the battlefield, and taking turns to rest can better maintain physical strength and give full play to the best combat strength. Hong Yan got out of the ambulance station and meditated on the cliff on duty. For Hong Yan, meditation and cultivation is the best rest.
After more than an hour, Hong Yan had to open his eyes and did not wait for the sneak attackers from the north and south. Instead, sneaked from the village to the west and divided into 4 battle groups of twenty warriors. There are cliffs more than 20 meters high on the west side, and although the terrain is unfavorable, it is often a weak link in the defense.
Look at the time is only ten o'clock, the sneak attack seems to be a little early, right?
Twenty Vietnamese soldiers were clearly not ordinary soldiers. The 5 people in the combat group crossed the front and back, left and right, and the 4 groups advanced in a diamond shape between them. Breaking in from the west, the defensive focus of the north and south was just hitting the soft underbelly of the squad. 20 people sometimes slow down and sometimes agile over small obstacles, seeing night as day.
It's a bit of a stick! Is it also special forces? Hong Yan secretly wondered. Look at the whole body weapons and equipment, grenades, daggers, assault rifles, stab-proof boots, pockets, not bad at all, it is the special forces outfit learned from Midi.
Defending the west are Guo Jinsong, Lin Yongjun, Li Baojie, and Xu Hongmeng, who are in groups of two, nearly 50 meters apart. Song Weihua, the most sudden dark sentinel, opened his eyes in the dark, turned his head vigilantly and listened from time to time. Under the mist, there was no artillery fire, and the faint moonlight had a poor line of sight, and it was impossible to spot the Vietnamese troops advancing in concealment from the low places. If you can't find the sneak attacker very early, you will definitely be lucky.
Hong Yan woke up the two soldiers on duty, and then quietly contacted Guo Jinsong and the others, and quietly crouched behind Song Weihua's side. At this time, the Vietnamese army was less than 100 meters away from the outpost. As if sensing the proximity to the defensive zone, they moved softer and more carefully. Even the slightest sound of footsteps, Hong Yan could hear it clearly.
Ten minutes later, less than fifty meters away, Song Weihua heard several inaudible sounds. After listening to the source of the sound and judging that it was indeed the sound of human action, several insect chirps sounded in the grass. Listen carefully to the sound of grasshoppers in autumn. Sure enough, the Vietnamese army also heard the flaw, and everyone immediately knelt down and turned their heads to look at the sound. The two people in front of the head paused slightly, and pounced on the left and right.
The warning signal has been issued, and Guo Jinsong and the other four people have woken up and prepared for battle. Hong Yan observed Song Weihua's response. The two who pounced on them moved quickly and their voices were weak, but Song Weihua, who was close at hand, still heard it. He also quickly shot his gun, and slammed a point shot at the Vietnamese army on the right and then rolled on his side, 56 Chong had already turned to the person on the left, and then he shot a point, bending down and running forward.
Hong Yan could see clearly behind his side, and his movements were continuous and brave. The Vietnamese troops on the right were shot down and let out screams. The man on the left reacted and immediately shot at the fire, and immediately rolled over and fell on his side. Song Weihua had already completed the roll on his side, and the bullet hit the ground and "fluttered". Although Song Weihua was not injured, the Vietnamese troops on the left also dodged the attack in time. The Vietnamese army on the right was lucky, the bullet hit the thigh. However, he lay on his side, one hand pressed against the wound, and it was in great pain. In that case, the injury was not light.
The sound of gunfire is the signal. A flare rose into the air, exposing twenty Vietnamese troops to the eyes of the defenders. However, Song Weihua also fell into the sight of the Vietnamese army at the same time. Both sides fired almost instinctively, and then briefly adapted. As soon as Song Weihua lay down, he felt that his heels were tight, his body was light, and he involuntarily slid quickly towards the back. I saw that he was hit by a string of bullets when he lay down just now, and he was shocked into a cold sweat. The gunshots of Guo Jinsong and the other four rang out in time, and two of them immediately fell down screaming.
The Vietnamese army is not having a good time either. In the bright light of the flares, they immediately made tactical moves, shooting while rushing towards the hill. And more gunfire on the hill participated, forming a tight protective net.
When the heel was released, Song Weihua rolled up. After seeing that it was Hong Yan, he smiled, then shot as he retreated, jumping into a shallow trench.
