Chapter 199: Artillery Suppression

Chapter 199: Artillery Suppression

The artillery fire of the Vietnamese army was also very fierce, and it exploded on our positions in pieces, only to make our entire heights tremble and shake. In our land of several tens of square kilometers, the first half of our artillery fire is bombarding in turn, and the second half of our position, that is, our position, is being bombarded by Vietnamese artillery fire. Even I, who have been rolling on the battlefield for several years, have never seen such a fierce artillery fire and such a long period of bombardment, and even the Yankees used artillery fire to fight in Ganling for several days and nights without interruption, and this kind of scene is shocking.

Later, I learned from the artillery comrades that at the end of the day, their artillery units were tired enough, and the barrels of the artillery were all red, and an artillery regiment had fired more than 10,000 shells in just one day, and several soldiers were directly deaf to their ears.

At this time, of course, we who were hiding in the anti-artillery 'hole' could not understand the hard work of the artillery, in fact, we felt that the artillery was not as hard as our infantry! Although the artillerymen are tired from hiding behind, they are much safer than us, and they can eat well and live well when they rest, while we, the infantrymen, are directly on the front line, and we may be blown to pieces by artillery bombing and bullets at any time, not to mention living like a dog kennel......

However, what makes us a little strange is that within two minutes, the artillery fire of the Yue Devils gradually weakened. Based on my many years of experience, I don't think this was the original intention of the enemy's artillery preparation, after all, two minutes of artillery fire is more of a 'waste' cost than preparation!

Is there not enough artillery shells for the Vietnamese army? This possibility is not very 'sexual', the Vietnamese army is ready to launch a new offensive, if the shells are not ready, it will be too child's play! If not if there were not enough shells...... That's mostly because the artillery positions were suppressed by our artillery fire!

But that's unlikely...... In less than two minutes, our artillery was able to suppress the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army? At least it takes time to calculate the trajectory and estimate the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army, and there is also time to set up artillery aiming, right?

In fact, I guessed correctly, the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army was indeed suppressed by the artillery fire of our army, and the reason why it was so fast was entirely because our army was equipped with advanced artillery sighting radar. At the same time, this is another reason why the superiors are so resolute in fighting this battle, their combat goal is not only to kill and injure a large number of Vietnamese infantry, but also to let this artillery radar test its skills on the battlefield and destroy a large number of Vietnamese artillery positions by the way......

Later, after learning that our army had such advanced things, I couldn't help but sigh that it would be impossible to do without high technology on the modern battlefield. We have worked hard to train and refit it, and we have spent a lot of effort to get rid of an artillery position of the Vietnamese devils deep behind the enemy, who would think that this artillery sight radar can still be 'precisely' positioned as long as the enemy is one, and then according to the data provided by the artillery sighting radar, a pile of shells will be completed!

At that time, the soldiers and I thought that this would not be some kind of 'trick' that the Yue devils were playing to trick us out of the anti-artillery 'hole' and then blow us up, so except for sending a few observers to check the situation, everyone stayed in the anti-artillery 'hole' and waited for a few minutes, until they were sure that the Yue devils would not go any further, and then they got out.

In normal times, after the enemy had prepared a single artillery fire, there would usually be groups of enemies rushing to the foot of our hill and charging at us, but this time there was not a single living enemy at the front of our position, except for the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers who fell in front of us, which were reduced to pieces, and the others were basically the same as before.

Look at the Vietnamese troops charging at us in the direction of Gushuikou...... It really allowed some Vietnamese troops to rush through the canyon, but even if they rushed through the canyon, the artillery fire was useless, because what was waiting in front of them was another wall of fire, a wall of fire made of shells and rockets.

However, the Vietnamese army still rushed forward vigorously, like a group of primitive people who did not know life and death at all, rushing towards the wall of fire...... However, even if we have the courage, we still can't resist the bombardment, and the Vietnamese troops were lifted into the sky and blown to pieces by shells in front of our eyes, and occasionally a few tattered military uniforms worn by the Vietnamese were lifted into the air and floated around like kites, just about to fall, and soon they were lifted higher by a new round of hot 'waves'.

Among them, there were also some timid Vietnamese troops running back...... Wrong! I was mistaken, they didn't run back, they weren't cowardly, in fact they had no way to retreat at this time, behind them was the canyon under fire, and in front of them was a wall of fire made of shells, so I think they didn't plan to go back alive from the moment they rushed to the canyon, so it's ridiculous to say that they were cowardly, and I can't help but feel a little ashamed of my initial thoughts.

In fact...... There's a reason they're coming back!

Through the scope of the sniper rifle, I could clearly see that they turned around and ran a few steps, then knelt down and kowtowed a few times facing south, I think they were saying goodbye to their hometown, to their motherland, to their loved ones, and then they picked up the 47 and rushed forward...... The wounded fell, as long as they were not dead, they still limped forward, and some of them knew that they could not break through the wall of fire and shouted and shot in our direction, but they were soon ruthlessly blown to pieces by one shell......

I couldn't help but be silent, after so many years of 'messing' on the battlefield, I also knew that I could not sympathize with my enemies, especially the lessons of fighting in Vietnam made me realize this more clearly, and I thought I could do it, but now I find that I seem to be far from that hard-hearted ideal.

"Battalion Commander...... "At this time, the hometown lying next to me raised his head at me and pointed to a position only five or six hundred meters away from our position.

There is nothing there but a pile of corpses? However, when I looked carefully for a while, I realized that there were still a few alive in the area, but they were so badly injured that they couldn't stand up.

I soon understood what the people in my hometown meant by pointing them out to me, because according to the rules of the battlefield, the enemy is the enemy, whether he is injured or not, as long as he is not dead, he is the enemy, and if he cannot be captured alive and refuses to surrender, he will be killed by one shot without doing anything. Of course, these wounded soldiers did not want to surrender, because they were crawling back...... I can understand how they feel, they want to die on their own soil, and that's what they thought when we were stuck in Vietnam.

So, it stands to reason that we should shoot them to death, and we have the ability to shoot them, and for the VD sniper rifle, a few of their wounded soldiers are undoubtedly the target of our practice. But none of us fired, and I pretended not to know, and just watched them climb back step by step, and some of them, perhaps hungry, grabbed the leaves and grass next to them and stuffed them into their mouths, so that the soldiers and I didn't know what it was like.

Although we are hostile to these Vietnamese soldiers, they are soldiers, we are also soldiers, and so am they fighting for their motherland, so when I see their tragic situation now, I can't help but feel a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. At this time, we even hope that they will climb back, or that someone will come to save them, but no matter who knows this is impossible.

The last few wounded climbed to a puddle of water filled with blood and sludge and drank a few sips of water and couldn't climb anymore, but I knew they weren't dead because occasionally they would 'twitch' a few times.

At this time, I thought to myself: if their relatives knew that they were slowly dying under such circumstances, I don't know what they would think! Sometimes I try to pull the trigger on them to solve their pain, but in the end I can't do it......

"Battalion commander!" At this time, the signal soldier handed me the microphone of the walkie-talkie and said, "It's the commander......

"How's it going?" As soon as I took the phone, I heard Liu Shunyi's voice coming from the microphone: "Are your casualties large?" ”

"Report to the commander, everything is fine!" I replied, "Our casualties are not large, just last night's battle killed five fighters and twenty slightly wounded!" ”

"Hmm! You're playing well! Liu Shunyi laughed and said: "The battle is so fierce, but your casualties are so small, which shows that your training of soldiers is very successful!" How about playing 'medicine'? Is it enough? ”

"Enough!" I replied: "When the reinforcements came up, they replenished us with a batch of ammunition 'medicine', and now the devils can't get by, so it shouldn't be a problem!" ”

After thinking about it, I asked more: "That's right!" Commander, why do we artillery have to ...... so non-stop?"

"The strength of the Yue Devil is much more than we imagined!" Liu Shunyi replied: "According to the information we have received, the Vietnamese army has gathered at least eight regiments of troops this time, and all of them are high-quality troops 'drawn' from the ace troops, including two special service regiments!" ”

"What? The Vietnamese army actually dispatched eight regiments! ”

"That's right!" Liu Shunyi on the other side of the microphone continued: "And the Yue devils are very cunning, and at the same time very resolute, they still do not admit defeat or even give up their original plan, as long as our artillery is weak, the Vietnamese army will immediately attack." Our estimate of the strength of the Vietnamese army is not accurate, and now the strength of the troops in the direction of Phaka Hill is too different from the Vietnamese army, and there is a gap in both equipment and quality, so they can only be attacked by artillery fire! ”

I believe in the quality of these Vietnamese troops in front of me, and in fact I have seen it with my own eyes and I cannot believe it.

After a pause, Liu Shunyi continued: "Now we urgently mobilize troops from other directions, you must assist the friendly troops to hold the defensive line, is the task clear?" ”

"Clear!" I responded, thinking that if this battle went on like this, it wouldn't be difficult to accomplish this task, but things often don't work out that way.
