Chapter 154: Weakness

Chapter 154: Weakness

The "bang" battle started as soon as I 'fired' the first bullet.

Because of the Vietnamese army's mentality of underestimating the enemy, I deliberately put them closer and then attacked, and it was not until the enemy was only 50 meters away from us that I fired the first shot.

The sound of gunfire was an order, and the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger and 'fired' a bullet at the target they had already chosen, and in an instant, in the dark night, a large number of gunshots and the screams of the Vietnamese army rang out.

The Vietnamese army had paid a heavy price for their underestimation and impatience, and they should not have rashly sent a large force to catch up with them without finding out the enemy's situation. Maybe...... They still thought that with the quality of the PLA infantry, as soon as they fled, they would not rush to run 'chaotically', and their pursuit was not as invincible as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Our resistance made them realize that these ideas were wrong, but it was too late.

The first to cause casualties among the Vietnamese troops was the unit of our army's 'shooting' group, and he was originally a soldier with good marksmanship selected by me from various units, and then equipped them with SVD sniper rifles with a long range and high precision, so that they could show their skills on this battlefield like a tiger with wings.

Don't look at the SVD sniper rifle is a single shot, and the ammunition capacity is not much only ten rounds, but the lethality in this night can not be ignored, after all, the Vietnamese army is only advancing with flashlights, and in this dark night only faintly see a small bright spot, so it is still quite difficult for other fighters to hit the target. However, the members of the 'shooting' team were like fish in water, almost knocking those bright spots to the ground with one shot.

Nguyen Van Thien and his men also played well, but there was still a certain distance from the members of the 'shooting' team. And they seem to be better at guerrilla warfare, and they don't seem to be familiar with this kind of positional warfare. This can be seen from the fact that they are still accustomed to changing places after a few shots, saying that they are all AK47s in their hands, which often looks a little awkward to change positions......

However, this is understandable, even if they had fought positional warfare in South Vietnam three years ago. After three years of guerrilla warfare, some habits will be formed more or less.

"Bang bang......" I raised my hand and took out two more Vietnamese soldiers, then retracted my head, changed positions while cats, and changed the magazine for my rifle.

In less than a minute, I had seized the opportunity to shoot all the bullets in my rifle, because I knew that the next time it wouldn't be so good.

Sure enough, of course, when he poked his head out again and stretched out his rifle, the Vietnamese army had already realized the mistake they had made and pressed the flashlight. But they still refused to retreat so easily, and still rushed towards our positions with AK47s.

But this can be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for me, a black figure jumped up from the crater, I did not hesitate to turn the muzzle of the gun to follow his footsteps, and then quickly seized the opportunity to pull the trigger......

There was a "bang" of gunshots, and I knew I had hit, because the black shadow was carried down the hill by the habitual 'sex' of the bullet.

If it was during the day, it might be easier to hit a stationary target, but on a night with such poor visibility, it is easier to hit a sports target.

The reason is very simple, if an enemy lies on the ground and does not move, you can't tell whether he is a corpse or a stone, and if you shoot it easily, you will be exposed to your position except for the "wave" bullet. However, the goal of the movement is different, first of all, I can be sure that he is alive, that my bullet is meaningful, and secondly, his movement allows me to hold his position......

"Bang bang ......" There were several gunshots, and the screams of the Vietnamese soldiers were heard one after another in the darkness, and the Vietnamese soldiers who jumped up from their hiding places one by one were knocked to the ground by me.

Similar to me, the other members of the 'shooting' team also pulled the trigger again and again at the darkness in front of the position, and we pressed the Vietnamese army in front of the position like an invisible hand.

At this time, the frequency of other fighters' 'shooting' has been reduced in stages, including Nguyen Van Thien and others, because they have fewer opportunities to find the target, and even if they fire, they will 'shoot' and 'shoot' without a target. So this battlefield naturally became the world of our 'shooting' group.

Of course, this is not to say that the other fighters are useless, once they get closer or launch a group charge, then this is when they come into play.

Generally speaking, as long as there are one or two snipers on the battlefield who are 'outstanding', they can put strong psychological pressure on the opponent, but at this time, there are more than a dozen members of the 'shooting' attack team who are not inferior to snipers on the position of our army. The Vietnamese army soon sensed that there was something different about our troops, so it didn't take long for them to slowly retreat towards the inclined plane.

Looking at the back of the retreat of the Vietnamese army, I can't help but feel a little regretful - did we 'expose' our strength in front of our opponents too quickly? The result of this is likely to be that the Vietnamese army will not dare to attack Pingdingshan, but will shift the focus of the attack to other directions.

My fears were quickly confirmed, at first the gunfire in our direction was 'fierce', and the Vietnamese army obviously regarded us as the main offensive position because of the important location of Pingdingshan, but we were only hit head-on in this way, and the Vietnamese army quickly changed its tactics and shifted the direction of attack. So the gunfire in the direction of the nameless heights on the right soon intensified, and we were left with nothing to do......

"Battalion Commander Cui" saw that this situation was still in this situation after more than ten minutes, and Li Zhifu couldn't bear the 'temperament' anymore, so he came up and asked: "Do we want to send a force to reinforce ......them?"

After thinking about it, I shook my head and said: "I believe that the Vietnamese army is not a fool, they will definitely set up an ambush on the way to our reinforcements, if we can't hold our breath and send reinforcements, it will only be a displeasure."

"That's right" Nguyen Van Dinh, who was familiar with the Vietnamese army's operations, ran up and said: "This is a trick often played by the Viet Cong, it seems that I learned it from you, what is it called...... Reinforcements"

"'Fuck' the more fucking devils," Li Zhifu couldn't help scolding.

After a pause, Li Zhifu said worriedly: "But it's not a way to go on like this, they fought happily, but we didn't fight, if our right flank was broken through by the Yue devils, we would soon be surrounded......

I have to admit that the Vietnamese army's reaction was indeed very fast, and it was only a little more than 20 minutes since the start of the battle, and they immediately found the weak point in our defensive line. Just like the way we dealt with the United Nations on the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the Vietnamese army was also looking for soft persimmons to pinch, and once those soft persimmons were pinched, our hard persimmons could not escape the bad luck of being surrounded. This is also the reason why the U.S. military always began to retreat before the start of the war with the volunteers.

But what can be done now? I considered whether we should adjust the deployment of troops in the next line of defense, whether we should disperse our troops into various units to defend. But this is obviously not appropriate, because my troops have only about 200 men, and it is actually a reinforced company to say that it is a battalion. Such a small number of troops can only form a powerful fist by gathering them together, and if they are scattered, I am afraid that they will become weak everywhere and leaky 'holes' everywhere

"Battalion Commander Cui......" At this time, Ruan Van Qin raised his binoculars and looked at the nameless high ground on the right, and said: "I think we should be ready to retreat"

Looking in the direction indicated by Nguyen Van Dinh, I saw that the Vietnamese army's offensive was getting more and more fierce, and the sparks coming out of their guns were already approaching the hilltop position. Nguyen Van Dinh was right, at this time they could no longer prevent the Vietnamese army from penetrating into the rear of our army, and the Vietnamese army only dared not dare to penetrate the 'interpenetration' because we still had a second line of defense.

Do you provide them with train assistance? However, the main point of attack chosen by the Vietnamese army was very drilling, and the high ground was a full kilometer away from our troops, and at this distance we could not see the target clearly at all, and at the same time exceeded the range of our army's fire assistance.

"No, you can't retreat," I gritted my teeth and said, "The troops on the second line are not ready yet, and if they retreat now, it is very likely that a situation of defeat will be formed." Moreover, the main forces of our army have not gone far, and the consequences will be unimaginable"

"Pass the order down" After thinking about it, I ordered over the walkie-talkie: "Order Xu Fan to give me all the reserves on top, and press the enemy back no matter what"

"Yes," the correspondent replied, quickly conveying the order.

In fact, there is another reason why I don't retreat and hold on here, that is, if we retreat now, it will mean that we will leave the troops on the first line of the 608th Regiment and withdraw to the third line alone. Although strategically we had to do this, if the soldiers of the 608th Regiment were all veterans, they would definitely be able to understand it, but unfortunately they were not veterans.

What will they think? Although the soldiers of the 608th Regiment don't know what to say, they will definitely curse in their hearts - what kind of heroic second battalion is this, isn't it that they left our comrades on the battlefield and ran away? Our comrades-in-arms fought to the death in front, but they were good, and the whole battalion retreated to the third line completely......

It can be said that the troops in my hands are the 'spirit' pillar of the soldiers of the 608th Regiment, and they are also their role models, and they are all staring at us when they fight, so if I order a retreat, the negative impact will be immeasurable

Therefore, I am desperate to be surrounded by the Vietnamese army, and I must hold on here.

At this point, I regretted that I had not taken these factors into account before the war. It seems that there are many problems that will only be discovered when they are faced.
