Chapter 156: The Competition
The gunfire soon intensified, and the Vietnamese troops were divided into several echelons and poured into several echelons of soldiers stationed on the nameless heights, with the infantry leaping forward in front of them under the cover of various covers on the position, and the rear being covered by light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and all kinds of direct-aim artillery and mortars.
Before the start of the war, our army had already 'exposed' most of its firepower in front of the Vietnamese army, so the Vietnamese army almost did not have much effort to fight, first using machine guns and artillery to knock out or suppress our army's firepower points one by one, and then the infantry rushed forward after it......
It was easy to say, but I knew in my heart that it required close coordination between the various parts of the infantry and the artillery, which is not something that a new recruit can do. For example, if the infantry charging in front of you rushes faster, you will be injured by the fire of your own troops, and if you are slower, you will not achieve good results.
I have to admit that the Vietnamese army did this very well, and it is no wonder that the soldiers of the regiment suffered so many casualties under their hands.
"Battalion commander! It's almost time to go up! Li Zhifu looked at the Vietnamese army rushing to the nameless heights, and he couldn't hold it back, he came to my side and said: "If you go up any longer, I'm afraid that our troops will not be able to hold it!" ”
"Wait!" I raised my binoculars and looked in the direction of the Vietnamese army, gritted my teeth and said.
Just now, I made a rough calculation of the strength of the Lower Vietnamese Army rushing to the unnamed heights, and there were only about two platoons. I judged that if the Vietnamese army wanted to capture our positions quickly, this number of troops alone would not be enough, and it was clear that they still had some troops left behind to spy on us.
I think it is very likely that the Vietnamese army adopted such a cautious attitude because it was fearing that we would surprise our troops, and if we were to attack, we would most likely find ourselves in the embarrassing position of being attacked on both sides.
At this time, I was indeed a little worried that the Vietnamese army would just wait, because even if the battle situation went down like this, it would eventually fall into the hands of the Vietnamese army, and it was just a difference in the length of time.
Why don't you go up and rescue Nameless Heights now? At this time, I could not help but find myself in a dilemma, if I wanted to, I only had to order a part of our army to climb up from the anticline of the nameless heights to help the soldiers of the regiment resist. However, the result of this is that although we can save the soldiers on the nameless heights, we will also make the Vietnamese army retreat......
No! No way!
I quickly rejected this plan, which would indeed save some of the soldiers, but the fleeing Vietnamese army would undoubtedly cause us to lose more men, so although this decision seems very human, it is actually a decision to exchange watermelons for sesame seeds, and I believe that no wise commander would do this.
At this time, I was gambling, betting that the commander of the Vietnamese army just wanted to fight a decisive battle, and he would not have the patience to wait for me to use the strength of two platoons to slowly grind with us.
As the minutes passed, the gunfire and explosions on the nameless heights became more and more intense, but the Vietnamese troops still did not appear, and my hanging heart became more and more nervous. Li Zhifu was even more anxious, he glanced at me every few seconds, and I could see his suspicion from his eyes - why didn't he fight? If you don't fight again, the more devils will take down the nameless heights...... But I always believed that the best time to fight had not yet appeared, so I still gritted my teeth and waited on the spot.
At this time, I deeply realized that as a commander, sometimes he not only analyzes problems and makes plans, but more often he must be able to withstand the pressure from all sides and stick to his own position.
However, this insistence is not always a good thing, if the result of this insistence is right, then it is called "standing firm", but if this insistence is wrong, it is called "stubbornness". Therefore, the success or defeat of the king is not only relative to the enemy, but also the decision-making of oneself in the army.
For example, now, when Li Zhifu has advised me to attack as soon as possible, if I still insist on not fighting and finally defeat this battle, then everyone will think that this is a failed command, so the sacrifice of so many soldiers will become worthless, and this account will be counted on my head.
Fortunately, this did not happen, and a few minutes later, the commander of the Vietnamese army finally couldn't wait any longer and sent the last troops to the nameless heights......
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and now I was covered with sweat on my forehead. I'm not afraid of the enemy, but I'm afraid of responsibility, at least one platoon of troops of the regiment was stationed on the nameless heights, and that's dozens of lives! If I let them sacrifice worthlessly, even if others can forgive me, I will not forgive myself.
When the last troops of the Vietnamese army rushed to the high ground, I immediately ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All of them!" Leave no prisoners, kill ......"
"Kill!" Armed with rifles and submachine guns with bayonets already loaded, the soldiers jumped out of their hiding places one by one like tigers coming down the mountain, and rushed towards the Vietnamese position.
The first thing we have to face is the Vietnamese army's machine gun company that is covering at the foot of the mountain, and they are 'operating' machine guns and all kinds of artillery to sweep and 'fire' at the hilltop position! Who would have thought that suddenly a force rushed towards them as if it had fallen from the sky, and by the time they reacted, we were all in front of them.
The reaction of the Vietnamese army was not slow, all kinds of machine guns hurriedly turned their guns, and the gunners also panicked to defend themselves from their backs or pick up their weapons, but it was already too late......
On the battlefield, it is often just a matter of seconds before they lose the opportunity, and the fighters will give them a chance to fight back, and before they can shoot quickly, they have already picked up their submachine guns and fired at them with patches of bullets, and some fighters have thrown several grenades at them. Suddenly, those Vietnamese troops were beaten by us and crushed into a crooked army.
"Submachine guns and grenades, melee money is not exchanged" was originally the mantra of the US military during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but it has also been strongly proved in our hands. Moreover, our army's close combat is not just as simple as submachine guns and grenades, but when a row of grenades and a piece of bullets beat the Vietnamese army into a big 'chaos', before the Vietnamese army could breathe back, the soldiers rushed forward one by one with bayonets......
Most of the time the troops of the machine gun company were under the protection of the infantry and fought with the opponent from a distance, when had they fought such a close fight, plus they could be said to be defenseless in advance, and it was also because our two troops had an absolute superiority in the strength of the left and the right to flank the attack, so it only took a few minutes to completely collapse, the slow ones died under the bullets and bayonets of the soldiers, and the fast ones threw away all kinds of heavy weapons and hid in the darkness of the jungle in a panic.
As soon as the Vietnamese artillery company was repulsed by our troops, it meant that the Vietnamese troops who had attacked the nameless heights had fallen into our encirclement. So the soldiers did not chase after them, and soon divided into several parts according to the original plan.
Needless to say, the members of the 'shooting' team were scattered and hidden in various corners of the position to take on the task of sniping the enemy.
The first part of the combat force was Xu Yongjian's fourth company, whose mission was to form a defensive line on our perimeter to prevent other Vietnamese troops from coming to the rescue of the Vietnamese army besieged by us, and also to cover our flank and rear security.
The second part was the 5th Company led by me and Li Zhifu, and we were responsible for the counteroffensive against the Vietnamese army attacking the unnamed heights.
The last part is the 6th Company in the hands of the hometown people, and their task is to use the various heavy weapons that the Vietnamese army has just dropped to 'shoot' at the Vietnamese army on the nameless high ground and cover the attack of the 5th Company.
This task can be enjoyable, and the "Ting" and "Ting" light and heavy machine guns and all kinds of artillery left by the Yue devils are all "colored" Soviet-style equipment, which is much better than those imitations in the hands of our troops in terms of quality and "sexuality". It is precisely because most of the equipment of our army in this era is imitation of Soviet-style weapons, so it is not unfamiliar to our soldiers at all, and they can fight when they grasp it.
Of course, the people in their hometown will not be polite to those Vietnamese soldiers, grab those machine guns, heavy machine guns and the like, and the Vietnamese troops on the slope will be swept wildly!
Where would the Vietnamese army have thought that our army would suddenly appear behind them, and in just a few minutes, the weapons that originally belonged to their own troops and were covering them were suddenly aimed at them......
So with the sound of machine guns and the roar of artillery and mortars, the Vietnamese troops on the slope were beaten in pieces and fell in a pool of blood. What terrified the Vietnamese army even more was that the artillery fire and bullets were followed by the fifth company in my hand......
At this time, it should be said that we are already in the hands of victory, there are soldiers of our regiment stationed on the top of the hill on the nameless heights, and at the foot of the mountain there are more than 200 people of our army who are blocking the reinforcements and killing the trapped beasts.
However, it soon became clear to me that I still underestimated these Vietnamese troops. They did not collapse under the attack of our troops on both sides, but reacted quickly and stormed our hilltop positions.
It should be said that the choice of the Vietnamese army was right and timely. They also saw that the quality of the fighters of the regiment stationed on the hilltop position was not high, so they ...... As long as they can capture the hilltop position before we destroy them, then they will not only be able to fight a way out, but they will also be able to rely on the hilltop position to contend with our army and turn defeat into victory.
So I knew that this was a game, whether it was better to kill the enemy first, or whether the Vietnamese army took the top position first...... Ro
