Chapter 205: Directional Mines

The Vietnamese devils attacked us almost one 'wave' after another, and the offensive became more and more fierce, the interval time became shorter and shorter, and the direction of the attack changed from the original three sides to four sides.

This also leaves us with little time to rest, only to 'shoot' bullets into the enemy's 'chest' again and again, and to knock down the enemy who rushes up again and again......

I can understand the mood of the Vietnamese devils at this time, the period of time when our artillery runs out of shells is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for them, and it is also an opportunity for the Vietnamese army to exchange the strength of several regiments, and they also know very well that our army at this time must be seizing the time to transport the shells, once the shells arrive to them, they will lose this opportunity forever.

On the other hand, at this time, they also knew very well that we stationed on the 142 Heights were not an ordinary army, and if we left our 142 Heights and attacked our army's second line of defense or Faka Mountain, it would undoubtedly be to expose their backs and supply lines in front of us, just like the US troops on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and the Vietnamese army would not be able to do this.

In this way, the Vietnamese army has only one choice, that is, to do everything possible to eliminate us as quickly as possible, and only then can they safely attack our army's second line of defense and expand the results of the battle.

However, this is what we do not want to see, and the purpose of our stay is to hold back the hands and feet of the Vietnamese army and ensure the safety of other troops. As a result, the two sides of the 'warring' war launched a life-and-death struggle on a small plateau with an area of only 2.3 square kilometers.

"Battalion commander!" I can't count how many times this has repelled the enemy's charge, and this time, when the Yue devils retreated like a 'tide' under our counterattack, the people from my hometown reported to me by radio: "Our company has not much ammunition left......

The sixth company of the hometown people is a unit that defends the frontal battlefield, so the consumption of ammunition and medicine is very large.

I didn't answer the words of my hometown, but asked the radio: "Four or five reports on the situation of ammunition and 'medicine'"

After a while, I heard Zhang Ziwang and Li Zhifu report on the radio: "The fourth company still has half a base of ammunition 'medicine'. ”

"Five companies are less than a quarter"

The Fifth Company is the main force of the special reconnaissance brigade, because they have to defend against enemies from both sides at the same time, so it is normal for them to consume a lot of ammunition and medicine. However, it still made me a little frightened when I heard that there was only so much left in the bomb 'medicine'.

In fact, I expected that there would be a shortage of ammunition, and although the tactics of crowding have been proven useless in modern warfare, the premise of this "uselessness" must be under the condition that there is sufficient ammunition. There are actually not a lot of ammunition 'medicine' reserves on the 142 heights, but the special reconnaissance brigade is equipped with either AK47s or light and heavy machine guns, these things are indeed sharp weapons against the enemy, but all of them are bullet-eating machines. Just look at the bullet casings scattered everywhere on our positions and in the trenches.

It is precisely because of this in mind that I asked the soldiers to pay attention to collecting the corpses of the Vietnamese army from the beginning of the battle to play the 'medicine', which may be a habit that has been brought from the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, I always worry that the troops in my hand are not enough ammunition, but what makes me helpless is that the lack of ammunition 'medicine' will always appear to me.

The consumption of the initial ammunition and the collected ammunition can basically maintain a balance, because there are not a few Vietnamese troops who rushed to the vicinity of our army's trenches, and they also carry a lot of ammunition and ammunition. In particular, the members of the Vietnamese army's death squad, some of whom were holding machine guns, were hung with circles of machine gun bullets, just like Rambo in the movie.

I don't know why they did this, maybe it was to show their courage and strength, in fact, it was a very stupid act to hang bullets around their bodies, which would not only increase their burden, but also make it very inconvenient for them to move, I always thought that heroic behavior like this could only appear in movies and mythological stories, in the real battlefield that is looking for death, but today I know that there are really such soldiers on the battlefield.

Opponents like this are the favorite of our soldiers, and sometimes they even deliberately put these enemies closer before fighting...... So that they can send the bullets closer, which can reduce the danger of us collecting bullets, and can also allow us to walk a little less, so why not?

But soon after, the Vietnamese devils soon discovered this problem, perhaps it was the actions of our soldiers who ran around to collect ammunition and 'medicine' as soon as they arrived at the break in the battle reminded them, so in the next battle, the Vietnamese army all counted the bullets and rushed up. Generally, only three magazines are carried, two magazines are used when charging, and one magazine is used if you can rush to our position alive...... The more devils who failed to rush up tried their best to drag the corpses back, and if they were really anxious and couldn't drag them back, they would also 'spend' a little time to clean up the bullets and 'medicine' on their corpses......

As a result, the maximum number of bullets that the Vietnamese army can leave us is half a magazine, which directly reduces the number of ammunition 'medicine' reserves in progression, and there is not much left after a few battles.

"The fourth company will divide half of the ammunition to the other troops," I ordered, "all units should pay attention to saving ammunition and 'medicine'"

"Yes"

It is undoubtedly helpless to pay attention to the order to save ammunition and ammunition, because everyone knows that at this time, saving ammunition and ammunition must be at the cost of the soldiers' lives, but the soldiers still firmly responded to the call and made some corresponding adjustments to the ammunition in accordance with my order as quickly as possible.

At this time, Li Zhifu ran up to me with a dark green 'colored' rectangular thing in his hand and said: "Battalion commander, when a few of our soldiers were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the pit looking for ammunition and 'medicine', they accidentally found this ......."

"What is this?" I asked, looking at the rectangular thing, a little strange.

"Ding...... "Li Zhifu glanced at me a little strangely, raised the thing in his hand and said: "Type 66 directional thunder, there are several boxes in the tunnel, and I don't know if it was left by the Yue devils or our troops."

"Well, the Type 66 directional mine" is no wonder I don't know, I said that I was a journalist in modern times, and I didn't know anything about mines and firearms, although I had a lot of combat experience on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but since this thing is called the Type 66 directional mine, that is to say, it was produced in 66, just like what Type 56 semi-automatic, Type 56 submachine gun in our hands, that number represents mass production and equipment time. In other words, this thing has not been developed during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, so I will know that it is strange.

I wanted to pretend to know how to cover it up, but seeing that the Yue Devil was about to attack again, I didn't have time to do so, so I immediately said directly: "How is this thing used?" How's the power? ”

"Battalion commander......" Li Zhifu looked at me incredulously and said, "You...... You really don't know? ”

It should be said that this is indeed a bit strange, not to mention that I was a battalion commander during the counterattack, and even later I was the captain of the special reconnaissance brigade, as the captain of the first special forces of our army...... I didn't even know about directional mines......

However, only I know the truth of this, when I led the special reconnaissance team for training, my mind was full of tactics such as air-dropping, rapid attack, surgical attack, etc., but I lacked understanding of these equipment that was not commonly used.

At this time, I couldn't help but blush, but my mouth was still fierce: "Don't be wordy, say quickly"

"Yes" Li Zhifu replied immediately: "This thing is a good thing, the upper part is filled with steel balls, there are 800 of them 1.2mm, and the following is explosive 'medicine', and when it is exploded, the steel ball fragments form a horizontal arc of one degree to sixty degrees**, and the killing area is 50 meters wide and one meter high......"

"How do you use it?" As soon as I heard that this mine has such a great power, I was a little energetic, the killing radius of a mine is fifty meters wide, and the fragments that come out of the ** are still 800 small steel balls, how lethal it will be to the group charge of the Vietnamese army, I almost saw those groups of Vietnamese troops rushing up to be beaten into a sieve by these steel balls......

"The usage is very simple," Li Zhifu said: "Insert the detonator into this, connect the fire cap with a wire, and when the enemy comes up, press the detonator and ......."

Li Zhifu said and figuratively gestured with his hands for an explosive action.

It's a lot of fun for me, it's ridiculous that we've been collecting bullets and 'medicine' on the enemy, but I didn't expect that there was such a useful thing in my pit and I didn't know it......

Seeing this, I couldn't help glaring at Xie Xianjian, who was not far away, and said, "What kind of reputation are you doing, why don't you say anything about such a good thing?" ”

"I ......," Xie Xianjian, who was covered in blood and still had a little wound on his forehead, said with some grievances: "I don't know either...... Now I also remember when Company Commander Li said this, some time ago, an engineering unit came to lay mines in front of the position, they stayed in our position for two days, and they left a few boxes, and we didn't pay attention to what it was......"

"Distribute this directional mine immediately," I ordered Li Zhifu: "Each company should divide into a part and convey the method of use to the soldiers, pay attention to the economical use, I will order it to be buried in front of the position in a circle around the position at intervals of ten meters, do you understand?" ”

"I understand," Li Zhifu answered, grabbed the directional mine, turned around, and carried out my order.

Later, I learned that this Type 66 directional mine is actually an imitation of the equipment of the Yankees, and the Yankees called it the M18 double-edged machete......

At that time, China's weapons were poor and white, and almost all equipment needed to be imitated, whether it was Soviet-style weapons or American-style equipment, as long as it was practical, we wanted it, so it didn't take long for the Type 66 directional mine to come out.

"The devil is coming," ...... a warning from the sentry drew my attention back to the battlefield.

"Get ready for battle" As I gave the order, the soldiers entered the combat post with their weapons in hand.

"Readiness of units to report on directional mines"

"The Fourth Company is ready"

"The Fifth Company is ready"

"The Sixth Company is ready......"

The use of Type 66 directional mines is not difficult in the first place, and it is even more difficult for our special reconnaissance brigade, so it will be ready in just a few minutes.

After thinking about it, I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All units pay attention, after the battle starts, all throw more grenades and shoot less guns, so that the Yue devils think that we are not enough ammunition 'medicine', as soon as they receive the order of 'directional mines', they will quickly lay the directional mines and return to the tunnel, waiting for the order to detonate the directional mines, is the task clear?" ”

"Clear"

"Clear"

……

In the past, it would have been impossible to carry out orders and plans to the whole army without a serious meeting, but now with this communication tool, I can command while I am busy fighting with the Vietnamese army, and I can also effectively convey the temporary battle plan to the whole army in real time so that the whole army can coordinate.

However, the Vietnamese army did not know all this, and they still rushed towards our positions with AK47s and various bursts of weapons as usual. Time has made them lose their due patience, and the number of troops used for the attack has gradually increased with each defeat, this time......

I observed through the scope the Vietnamese troops who were attacking us, and roughly estimated that they had two companies of troops attacking in each direction this time, one of which was used for the main attack, and the other company was covering on the second line and acting as a reserve ready to reinforce at any time. At this time, of course, I don't think they have fewer people, but I hope that they can come as many as possible.

In order to 'provoke' the Vietnamese army and make them lose their minds, I deliberately shouted at them in the newly learned Vietnamese: "Your attack is useless, and you will not be able to surrender except to die on our Chinese soil like your comrades-in-arms...... We Chinese treat prisoners leniently"

The soldiers all laughed, and then they all shouted to the Vietnamese soldiers in Vietnamese after me: "Surrender, we Chinese treat the prisoners leniently......

A surrounded army shouted to the enemy dozens of times its size to surrender, and I am afraid that there is no one before or since, and I am so angry that those Vietnamese troops are all 'pale' and blue-faced and 'chaotic'.

What I said may not sound like much on the surface, but in fact, it is the death 'hole' of those Vietnamese soldiers, and the reason why they came to occupy this Phaka Mountain is because their leaders told them that this is Vietnamese land, so my sentence "You will also die on our Chinese soil like your comrades-in-arms......" is like uncovering their scars and making them unbearable.

As a result, there was soon a wave of scolding from the direction of the Vietnamese devils, and many Vietnamese soldiers did not answer at all, picked up the AK47 and beat in our direction for a while, and then rushed towards our position with great momentum......

That's what I want from you, and I couldn't help but laugh in my heart when I saw this, and ordered the soldiers over the radio: "Be ready for battle, and wait until the enemy is close before fighting"

In the past, when the enemy was close and then attacked, it was in order to inflict the greatest casualties on the enemy with the least amount of ammunition and 'medicine', in order to destroy the enemy's living forces to the greatest extent, and then this time the Vietnamese army was allowed to get closer and fight again, in the hope that they could squeeze a little more and rush closer......

Of course, the Vietnamese army did not know anything about this, and they still shouted slogans as usual, and charged up the inclined plane with their rifles in a murderous manner.

In some ways, the Vietnamese army is indeed very similar to our army, and I think this is because the Vietnamese army has an inextricable connection with our army in this era. It is said that most of the officers at and above the battalion level in the Vietnamese army have been trained in military academies and academies at all levels and in various types in our country, and it can be said that the techniques and tactics they have learned are basically the same as those of our army. Among them, middle-level commanders, especially senior commanders, have generally studied in China's higher military academies.

It is precisely because of this that some people compare the Vietnamese army to the shadow of our Chinese army, and I agree with this, especially for me, a person who came from the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, and I often think of the volunteer army when I fight against the Vietnamese army.

For example, anti-slope tactics, such as following the shells to charge the enemy's position, as well as their high quality, hardship-enduring and dedicated 'spirit', and so on.

Someone once said, "It is painful to fight against your own shadow", and this is true, because every time I defeat the Vietnamese army, I think: in fact, we are defeating our own tactics. What makes me laugh and cry even more is that during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, I used these tactics to defeat the Yankees, but now I want to use the Yankees' set to defeat these tactics......

However, this also shows that no tactics on the battlefield are immutable or that tactics are guaranteed to win, and what is more important should be to adapt measures to local conditions and use them flexibly.

I thought a little far, and when I pulled my thoughts back again, I found that the Vietnamese army rushed to a range of 60 or 70 meters away from our army in an instant, and I couldn't help but hurriedly shout: "Fight"

With the sound of gunfire, the warriors fired their weapons.

Of course, this time the gunfire was not 'intense', there was no difference between sniper rifles, after all, every bullet to eliminate an enemy could not be saved, AK47 basically became a single shot, light and heavy machine guns became point 'shots', only those bazookas and grenades that were still relatively large still fired at the enemy one after another.

In this way, those more devils will be stronger, and the more devils with rich battlefield experience will not know what this means, so they will rush towards us one by one with a shout. However, what they don't know is that what they think is an illusion, and they are moving towards a death trap step by step, stepping towards a point of no return......
