Chapter 196: The Vietnamese Army's Attack

The soldiers have rest, but I am not so happy, although I also want to take a break so that I can be in the best shape for the upcoming battle, but as a front-line commander, I must always keep in touch with my superiors. \ I knew very well in my heart that I was actually the eyes and ears of the huge army behind me, so I didn't dare to slack off for half a minute.

Only I know that this task is not easy to do, because we cannot be surprised or send people to reconnoiter on the spot, so we cannot be sure whether there is really a large number of Vietnamese troops lurking in front of us. Second, the timing of the report to the higher authorities is not easy to grasp, if it is too early, two artillery divisions plus five rocket artillery battalions poured out, no one can hide it, and the Vietnamese agents have time to notify their troops by radio to cancel the attack plan after discovering that we have such a large ambush; If it's too late...... the artillery unit itself will have fifteen minutes to prepare, although the superiors didn't say it, but I also know that this fifteen minutes of preparation time refers to the rocket artillery battalion. In this text provided by Leyou Literature, please remember that Le You Literature. After rolling on the battlefield for so long, it is clear to me that only vehicle-mounted rocket artillery will be able to have everything ready and ready for firing in fifteen minutes, especially now that vehicle-mounted rocket artillery already has electronic sighting equipment. Other artillery units have an additional process of mounting guns and manual aiming.

Fifteen minutes may not be anything in peacetime, it passes in a blink of an eye, but on the battlefield it is an important factor that may determine the victory or defeat, in case the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army have already rushed through the range of our artillery blockade in these fifteen minutes, then no matter how strong our artillery fire is, it will not be able to avoid being captured by the Vietnamese army......

"How's it going?"

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

The base also looked nervous, and telegrams asking about the situation were being sent one after another, but what else could I answer at this time? I could only call back again and again: "Everything is fine!" ”

As the time slowly went on, I couldn't sit still anymore, it was already 4:50 in the morning, and the sky would start to light in two hours, why didn't the Vietnamese army start to attack yet? Isn't it today?

At this time, Li Shui's 'wave' voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie: "Eagle! Eagle! Discover the target, discover the target ......"

"What goal? Be specific! I asked rhetorically.

"Can't be sure!" Li Shui replied: "It is the reflection of the lens, it may be a telescope, or it may be the aiming of a sniper rifle......

I understand when Li Shui' Bo said this, and now I can at least be sure of one thing, that is, there are indeed Vietnamese troops lurking in the defensive front, which means that the time of the attack will definitely not be wrong today.

"That's not right!" At this time, Li Shui's 'wave' voice came from the walkie-talkie: "It's the cannon against the mirror, repeat, it's the cannon against the ......."

"Gun to mirror!" I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard this, because the artillery mirror was used by artillery observers to measure the coordinates of artillery fire, especially when they wanted to blow up the enemy's fortifications 'accurately' before the attack......

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered the correspondent: "Send a telegram to the base immediately, and when the time is ripe, arrange the position!" ”

"Yes!" The communication responded, and the text of the second word was provided by Leyou Literature, please remember Leyou Literature. Not to mention, the message was sent as if it were a war.

Without any pause, I turned around and shouted to another signal soldier, "Pick me up Commissar Li!" ”

It didn't take a minute to connect, but the signal soldier turned to me and said, "Political Commissar Li is resting......"

"Wake me up right now! There is an emergency military situation! "Although I follow the plan and the orders of my superiors, I have no need to inform Political Commissar Li at all, but I hope to recover a little loss for them.

"I'm the political commissar of the 628th regiment!" Two minutes later, the voice of Political Commissar Li sounded in the microphone, and he had just woken up and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Commissar!" I shouted into the phone: "Order your troops to be ready for battle immediately, the Vietnamese army is about to launch a campaign-scale attack on our position!" ”

"What?" As soon as I said this, Political Commissar Li woke up, and he asked a little at a loss: "Is your intelligence accurate?" How many troops does the enemy have......"

"Don't ask anything!" I interrupted him and said, "Give the order now!" ”

Instead of answering me, Commissar Li shouted at the others: "Pass the order down............ All units are ready for battle! ”

Then he said to me: "Comrade Captain, what is going on? ”

Just when I didn't know how to answer, there was a sudden whistling of shells in the sky, and I knew that the Vietnamese army had begun to attack.

With a burst of roars, shells exploded on our position, and the soil on the top of the anti-artillery 'hole' was shaken down, and the whole mountain swayed like a boat in the stormy 'waves'.

The Vietnamese artillery fire was fierce and short, and the rage lasted only five minutes before it ended.

I think this should be decided by the fact that the Vietnamese army is mainly engaged in surprise attacks, first of all, their main purpose in firing this array of artillery is to clear the mines blocking their advance, and secondly, if they bombard for too long, it will undoubtedly give our second-line troops too much time to prepare. After all, now for the Vietnamese army, what they hope more is to be able to take our position with lightning speed, and it is best to take Phaka Mountain all the way......

I have to admit that if everything in this battle is as it seems, it may really be what the Vietnamese army wants. The results of the Vietnamese army agents were too great, and there were artillery positions, grain warehouses, highway bridges, and even headquarters ............ All of them are the lifeblood of our army. Unfortunately, this was not the case, so the battle was doomed to end in a crushing defeat from the moment the Vietnamese army launched an attack on us!

But now all this is not my concern, what I am thinking about now is the immediate problem" and at the same time, every soldier must think about it, that is, to hold the position and survive under the enemy's attack!

As soon as the gunfire stopped, I rushed out with my rifle, along with the guards and the communicator with walkie-talkies on their backs. Now that the battle has begun, I don't need to hide" Now I can contact the base directly through this walkie-talkie.

Drill out of the anti-artillery 'hole' and look at the foot of the mountain, good guy! The outside has become a 'chaos', and the darkness is full of tongues of fire when weapons are abandoned, and occasionally a few flares hit the sky to clearly show the whole world of life and death in front of us. At the foot of the mountain, there were Vietnamese soldiers, all wearing straw hats and steel helmets, holding AK47s in their hands, shouting loudly and rushing towards our high ground......

Seeing this, I didn't shout at the walkie-talkie: "The enemy is up, the enemy is up!" At least three battalions of troops...... Request artillery support! Ask for ...... artillery fire"

"Boom...... "A cannonball exploded from a distance of more than ten meters from me, and the mud and stagnant water rushed towards me in pieces, and my mouth was filled with fishy muddy water in an instant."

I spit out the mud from my mouth and grabbed the communicator next to me and shouted, "Keep calling and report the situation to the base!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent answered and crouched back into the trench to call.

Only then did I have time to set up my rifle in the trench and observe the enemy at the foot of the hill through the scope, and their first echelon had at least three battalions, which were divided into five parts to attack the 150th, 2nd, 169th, 33rd, and 33rd sub-heights.

These five heights are the first line of defense of our army in the Faka Mountain area, and because these heights are not very high, the PLA soldiers stationed on them are at most a company, and the 33rd and 33rd deputy heights are only stationed in one platoon and one squad respectively because of their small area. Although the special reconnaissance brigade in my hands is a battalion-level establishment, the actual number of personnel is only 110, including non-combat units such as communications troops and hygienists. In other words, "our total strength on the front line is only one battalion and another platoon, while the strength of the Vietnamese army is more than three battalions......

Obviously, the Vietnamese army wanted to take advantage of the superior forces to take the front-line positions of our army in one fell swoop with lightning speed and without haste, so as to prepare for their follow-up troops to pass through Gushuikou one after another. But I won't let them get what they wanted, the reason is very simple, it only takes 15 minutes for our army to prepare for artillery fire, and after deducting the time for pre-preparation, "and then deduct the five minutes of the Vietnamese artillery attack, I estimate that our army's artillery fire will arrive in a few minutes."

However, the speed of the Vietnamese charge was much faster than I expected, and they did not care that there were many mines on the front of our positions that had not been detonated by shells, and they all rushed towards our positions with bare feet at an alarming speed. In the process, they were full of comrades who were blown up by mines in front of and behind them, "but they turned a blind eye to this, and they didn't even slow down their speed...... 400 meters!

I heard heavy gunfire coming from the two heights beside me, and the friendly troops were clearly frightened by the Vietnamese formation, and opened fire from such a distance. In fact, the 56 and a half and 56 submachine guns equipped by our army have a range of less than 400 meters, and it is still dark at this time when it is difficult to aim, so it is obviously not a good choice to start fighting at this time.

However, I also think that it is understandable, after all, they are just ordinary troops" and most of them have only participated in some small battles stationed here before, where have I ever seen such a big scene......

Sub 100 meters!

At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared on the battlefield, the more the two adjacent heights fired, the faster the Vietnamese army rushed faster, and the high ground we were stationed on did not fire, but the Vietnamese army slowed down and showed a little caution. So I knew that the Vietnamese army in front of me was not simple, and they could even judge the extent of the opponent from the reaction of our troops.

200 meters......

"In these two minutes, I have identified several important targets of the Vietnamese army, including an officer, three heavy machine gunners and a bazooka 'shooter', and I believe that other members of the 'shooting' team can do the same."

But I still did not give the order to open fire.

It wasn't until the Vietnamese army was only 100 meters from the front of our position that I shouted over the radio: "Fight!" Then he pulled the trigger first.

"Bang!" The first to fall under my gun was the bazooka shooter, because he was already taking aim with the bazooka, but before he could pull the trigger, a bullet from my gun knocked him to the ground.

"Bang bang...... "Then the two heavy machine gunners fell under my gun," they had already chosen the terrain and were setting up their machine guns as fast as they could.

I have to admit that I was a little surprised by the quality of these Vietnamese soldiers, who had assembled and loaded a heavy machine gun in just over a minute, "but they were not as fast as my bullets." I shot out one of the main 'shooters' and the secondary 'shooters', and by the time I aimed at the 'drug' man, he had already fallen under someone else's gun.

"Bang!" It was the officer's turn to be the last one, and I put him last because I knew very well that for a well-trained unit, the loss of a commander on the battlefield was not a big deal, and the loss of command could only be a "mess" in an undertrained unit. And yet this army like the one in front of me............ The big deal if you lose the commander is to change someone on top and leave!

But I still did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the target, this gun is for the future war, I believe that this Vietnamese army can become such a well-trained unit commander, either he is a talent or has some specialty, if he is kept, he may be a scourge in the future!

Almost as soon as I opened fire, the soldiers fired their weapons, and in an instant the guns, submachine guns, and sniper rifles rang out, and the Vietnamese army screamed and collapsed.

In terms of quality, all of them are 'fine' selected from all units of our army and are fighters who can stand the test of the battlefield, and in addition to several months of arduous training, the soldiers have a tacit understanding with each other; in terms of equipment, all of them are equipped with the same equipment. The Soviet-style AK47, don't please the 56 and a half, even the 56-type submachine gun can't be found, plus more than 20 SVD sniper rifles, it has raised the combat effectiveness of the whole army to a new level.

The first to feel that our troops were different were of course those Vietnamese troops who rushed towards us, and we completely overwhelmed the enemy in terms of firepower and momentum almost as soon as we started fighting. As a matter of fact, although the equipment in our hands surpassed that of the People's Liberation Army, it was not much different from that of the Vietnamese army, and we were able to occupy such a big advantage, one of which was the geographical advantage of our army, and the other was because we had 20 members of the 'shooting' strike team.

Just as I took out a few important targets as soon as I started fighting, these 20 or so members of the 'shooting' team all used the characteristics of the sniper rifle's high 'precision' and 'firing' range to block the enemy's heavy firepower when the battle began, so they ...... Although the quality of the Vietnamese army is not low, and the equipment is advanced enough, it is completely unable to exert itself, and there is no power to fight back except for being pressed by us at the foot of the mountain and beaten fiercely.

But the Vietnamese army in front of us seemed to be crazy, ignoring the gap between the two armies, and still rushed up one after another, regardless of life and death, with the sound of gunfire and grenade explosions, a corpse soon lay down in front of the position.

"Boom ......" "At this moment, several shells exploded near our position, causing mud and shrapnel to fly everywhere above our heads with a whistling sound.

I couldn't help frowning, and I secretly wondered in my heart that the mortar operators and bazooka 'shooters' of the Vietnamese army had all solved the 'shooting' team of our army in the first place, so where did these shells come from?

Turning his head, he was stunned to find that the 150 heights on the left flank had been occupied by the Vietnamese army, and these shells were fired from that direction.

"it!" Seeing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly: these Vietnamese troops' movements were also fast, and it only took them a few minutes to break through our army's defense line!

I really didn't expect that the friendly troops couldn't hold on for even a few minutes, but it doesn't seem to blame them, the weakness of the equipment and the enemy's strength are several times that of ours, and it still caught the Vietnamese devils off guard, so that the Vietnamese army was defeated in one charge.

So I thought that if there was no unit of ours on this defensive line, then the offensive plan of the first 'wave' of the Vietnamese army would probably be successfully completed.

Then I soon realized that our army was in danger, and that the heights of the 150 heights on the left and the 169 heights on the right were slightly higher than ours, and if both of them fell into the hands of the enemy, would we not be in a situation where we would be attacked on three sides?

"Li Shui 'wave'!" Thinking of this, I immediately shouted into the radio: "Take a few people to suppress the artillery fire of the 150 heights!" ”

"Yes!" Li Shui 'Bo' answered, and a few men ran along the trench towards the flank with rifles.

After a while, only to hear a "bang" gunshot, the artillery fire from the left quickly subsided a little, this is the role of snipers on the battlefield, they do not say how many people can be killed and wounded on the battlefield, in fact, sometimes no matter how powerful the sniper kills the enemy is not as good as a machine gunner, but they can often hold a direction on the battlefield with only a few people, so that the enemy does not dare to act rashly.

"Report to the battalion commander!" At this time, Li Zhifu's voice came from the radio: "At six o'clock, the reinforcements from the Yue devils came up!" ”

I raised my rifle and looked due south through the scope, and sure enough, I saw a large number of Vietnamese troops rushing towards our army's position through Gushuikou, and it was the new Soviet-style tank T62 that we were familiar with walking in front of the team.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, the signal soldier shouted at me: "The commander said that the rocket artillery unit is ready, and asked us when we will start artillery support!" ”

"Wait for my orders!" I replied, and at the same time secretly shouted in my heart: This news came at the right time, and now there are Vietnamese soldiers who feel better!
