Chapter 375: Artillery Coverage

Chapter 375:

In the early hours of the morning, a thick fog filled the surrounding ravines, and at the same time, the early morning night had not yet dispersed, and the visibility was quite low. The www.biquge.info of gunfire in the valley is dense, and the silent valley has never been so lively.

Yesterday evening, the military commander's order was for the 118th Regiment to attack Laoshan and the 119th Regiment to attack Songmaoling. Under the order of the corps commander, the regiment assigned one battalion to intersperse in advance, and the remaining two battalions and three battalions remained in place, waiting for the order to start the battle.

The first company served as the forward, the second company served as the center, and the third company served as the rear guard and served as a reserve. The operation was divided into three groups, and the tactics of a three-way assault were adopted.

The company that arrived first was responsible for the middle attack, reinforced with heavy firepower with two 60 mortars, and a high-level dual-purpose machine.

They had two auxiliary attack platoons on the left and right flanks, and the specific tactic was to launch a fierce feint on both sides if necessary after the artillery bombardment, so as to attract fire from the hills and prevent the enemy from escaping from the ridges on both sides.

In the middle lane, after launching an attack, they struggled to break through, occupying the halfway position of the 1072 Heights, and then everyone attacked centripetally from three directions to take the top of the mountain.

Behind the three assault groups was an infantry platoon, whose task was to suppress fire on the hill at any time. The command group at the foot of the mountain is responsible for communication support, as well as organizing rescue of the seriously wounded, and conducting mobile command.

In addition, there is a reserve team of more than 60 people, some of whom are responsible for observation and guarding the command group.

This operation was well planned, but it was not under their control, and everyone thought that it would not be easy to penetrate into place and occupy the 1072 heights, but what they did not expect was that they were heavily damaged by the Vietnamese army while interspersing.

Moreover, after the start of the battle, the assault team of the central attack was accidentally exposed, they were too far forward, and they fought with the vanguard of the enemy's descent down the mountain, and were attacked by the enemy's heavy machine guns and grenades.

Everyone is under the nose of the enemy, and now that the war has begun, it is impossible to retreat, but to attack and fight to the death.

I thought that it would be beneficial to use the cover of dense fog to help things succeed, but they knew that the enemy had already prepared to move, and after the shelling, they carried out intensive strafing fire on nearby positions, and the two sides met unexpectedly, and suddenly a fight broke out.

The heavy fire of the enemy on the hilltop position was very heavy, and the bullets rained down on the right ridge. Frontal enemies also began to fire exploratory fire and drop grenades.

All of a sudden, the situation became urgent.

"!" Xiao Mubai stared at the enemy's raging machine gun in front of him and smashed the dirt hard.

Lurking in the position closest to the Vietnamese army, it is now under the nose of the enemy, and it can't get closer. Over there, Deputy Battalion Commander Dun Jingtian was already asking about the movements of the second company and the first platoon, and all the people were pulled up.

At this moment, the call for artillery support finally arrived. The firearms of the machine gun company of the regimental headquarters began to exert force, suppressing and firing at the high ground and the holes.

Dense rockets also began to fly from the rear mountain beams, smashing into the target area with a strange roar.

Under the powerful rocket cover fire, the sound of the enemy's suppressed fire on the right ridge was gone, but the previously peaceful valley became more lively.

"Action!"

As soon as Xiao Mubai gave the order, the soldiers took advantage of the shelling to get up one after another, and quickly climbed up in the bushes, trying to go up about 20 meters and approach the enemy's position, so that they could launch an attack as soon as possible after the artillery attack.

From time to time, the blasted dirt from above the crawl fell and smashed on everyone. Soon everyone reached the lurking position of the final attack, and temporarily stopped, resting, waiting for the explosion above to end.

Xiao Mubai hugged a Type 5 or 6 submachine gun, and crouched sideways under a rock, dodging the falling stones and branches.

Next to the rocks are shallow grasses, which are easy to look up to. But he didn't look up, there were at least ten minutes of intensive shelling, it was a long time, all we needed was waiting.

The mountain shook violently in the sound of the explosion. Xiao Mubai crouched sideways, shaking his shoulders with the vibration of the mountain.

Two mortarsmen came from his left hand side with their meal guys, and they had come to this place to set up a firing position next to him.

The slope is too steep, and the cannon has to be fired upward, which requires professional skills. Xiao Mubai looked at them and moved back so that they could put down the barrels and ammunition, and use the sapper pickaxe and shovel to plow the ground.

At this time, he stayed for two minutes next to a bush below, climbed up again, and hid under the rock with Xiao Mubai. The smoke of gunpowder was pressed down, and a black patch filled the surroundings.

"Platoon commander, do you want to smoke?" The clerk shouted amid the explosion.

"Don't, smoke it yourself!" Xiao Mubai turned sideways, leaned half of his body on the ground, and turned his head. He saw the clerk take a cigarette in his mouth and touch a match on his body.

This clerk's surname is Cai, a fair-looking boy who looks like a little white face, but it is very slippery.

What time is it now, still smoking, Xiao Mubai really wanted to snatch it one by one, but fortunately he didn't. He was still quietly waiting for the end of the artillery coverage of the regimental headquarters, when it was time to charge.

Xiao Mubai looked at the side, the position over there was also quiet, and the deputy battalion commander of Dun Jingtian temporarily buffered the front, also waiting for the end of the shelling.

"Brothers, prepare." Xiao Mubai looked around, his eyes skimmed over the soldiers, and he paused to continue.

"As soon as the artillery fire is over, don't rush up desperately, see the right time to kill the devil, as long as the devil is finished, the position is ours. I'll bring my brothers here, just do as I say, and when the war is over, I'll bring everyone back. ”

It's important to boost morale, especially now when you're ready to attack.

"Good!"

Xiao Mubai said it cruelly, but the soldiers were not affected at all, but their emotions were high. At this moment, after experiencing the sacrifice just interspersed, Xiao Mubai initially established the prestige of the platoon commander and won the love of the soldiers.

Even at this moment, Xiao Mubai is still a deputy platoon commander.

The squad leader had a complicated gaze, squatted in the dirt pit and didn't say a word, just holding the five or six submachine guns in his hands, waiting for the moment of charge.

They were silently waiting for the artillery fire to end, when suddenly there was a gunshot next to them, and it was the person on the left who was firing upwards. Only someone could be heard shouting at the sound of the explosion.

"The enemy is down! Three enemies have rushed down! ”

The bullet came down and sparked on the rock where the two were dodging. The two mortar gunners who had built the firing fortifications screamed and hurriedly crawled here to pounce, and everyone huddled together.

Cai Wenwen turned around, still holding the unlit cigarette in his mouth, and as soon as the gunfire on it stopped, he immediately half-squatted up, stretched out his head to look up, and at the same time the Bayi gun in his hand rang out, and he kept firing and four or five bullet shells.

"Da Da Da!"

Two of the enemy rushed down from the grass above, both shot, and fell behind the rocks where they were hiding.

The Vietnamese devils actually came down from above, what the hell is this.
