Chapter 179: Attack

Chapter 179: Attack

"Woo ......" With the roar of the helicopter's propellers, ten helicopters flew towards the military target in the night.

We were already on the actual line dividing the Chinese and Vietnamese armies, so it took less than a minute to fly over the Vietnamese troops. It is clear that the Vietnamese army has no defense against our helicopters, as can be seen from the fact that we have flown across the border for a while without encountering resistance from the Vietnamese army.

It should be said that the Vietnamese army is still experienced in this offensive method of using helicopters to launch surprise attacks, because only three years ago they suffered greatly from the US military in this regard. But at this time and then, most of the attacks launched by US military helicopters were carried during the day to carry the attacks of large armies, (it is no secret that the US military has a natural fear of night battles, this was the case during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the same was true of the subsequent war against Vietnam, not to mention that they had to deal with the Vietnamese army who knew the terrain well). But now we are in the night when visibility is very low, just in response to the saying that we can only hear the sound and not see the body, so although the Vietnamese army heard the sound of the helicopter, they could not see where we were at all.

Importantly...... The Vietnamese army has been receiving military assistance from our country for many years, and China has given priority to supplying its own advanced weapons and equipment to the Vietnamese army without 'selfishness', so the Vietnamese army is also very aware of the equipment situation of our army, and they also know that helicopters like our army's Z-5 are actually not suitable for large-scale combat, so they have no defense against our army's helicopters from beginning to end.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the more impossible things are on the battlefield, the more likely they are to happen, just like now we will not only put the straight 5 into battle, but also play a big role on the battlefield.

However, the Vietnamese army is also a well-trained unit, and there are more than a dozen searchlights that shoot into the sky like a sharp sword, and then wave wildly in the air, occasionally shining a helicopter will be like a deadly rope to entangle the helicopter to death, followed by a burst of rifles and machine guns of the Vietnamese army......

However, we have long been prepared for all this, and there are a total of 20 members of the 'shooting' strike team in the special reconnaissance group, and exactly two people are assigned to each helicopter, and in ordinary training, when they have nothing to do, they practice hitting the searchlights on the ground through the 'shooting' holes opened on both sides of the straight 5, and this is when they play their role. As soon as I gave the order, the members of the 'shooting' team aimed at the searchlight below and pulled the trigger.

It is not so easy to hit the ground searchlight on a helicopter moving in the air, just like the high school physics teacher said that the movement of objects is relative, which also needs to be measured in advance, and the soldiers are difficult because they are on a bumpy and shaking helicopter.

However, fortunately, the soldiers usually train very hard, and when they only hear the sound of gunshots, they can see that the searchlights on the ground are emitting white smoke one after another, and the pillars of light emitted by them are also gone, and only the light of the bullets brought by the Vietnamese army's indiscriminate 'shooting' is left in the sky.

At this time, the artillery unit that was responsible for covering our army's breakthrough of the Vietnamese defense line also exerted its might, and with the roar from the ground, I saw a ball of fire rising from below, and the air flow set off by the artillery fire made the helicopter begin to vibrate violently, and the flying plane hurriedly pulled the helicopter up quickly.

This is the first time we have watched the shelling scene from the air, and this feeling is very strange, because we can't help but flash in our minds the scenes when we were being shelled, thinking about the smoke and dust flying everywhere, thinking about ourselves everywhere looking for suitable shelter, thinking about the bodies of our comrades being lifted high into the air.

Although all this is right in front of our eyes now, it is so far away from us that we feel a little unacceptable...... When we look down from the air and see the Vietnamese soldiers falling and running one by one under artillery fire, we will have the illusion that they are nothing more than insignificant ants......

I think that's why fighting bayonets is terrifying! The closer we get to the opponent, the more real it will feel, the feeling of the blade entering the 'flesh', the blood, screams and painful expressions of the enemy are all alive in front of our eyes, who will not be afraid? But once you're as far away as we are, it's a bit like watching a movie!

This reminds me of a documentary in modern times about a U.S. military pilot piloting a helicopter while listening to exuberant music while controlling machine guns, rockets, and missiles as they wildly 'fire' at the Viet Cong below.

At the time, I was horrified by the behavior of American pilots who treated human life as child's play, but now I understand it to some extent. When we stand at another height or angle on the battlefield, when we no longer feel the breath of death, or when we have a comprehensive advantage on the battlefield, war is likely to evolve into a game.

In other words, anyone who were the same American pilot in an advanced helicopter gunship would probably do the same thing against a group of defenseless enemies. This may be the crazy and evil side of human nature!

As I had guessed, the Vietnamese army had most of its forces along the border, so when we crossed the Vietnamese garrison at the border a few minutes later, there were no more Vietnamese searchlights and machine guns.

"That's the goal!" Ten minutes later, Wang Yunming, who was piloting the helicopter, turned around and shouted at me, because of the noise of the helicopter, he was yelling at me with almost all his strength.

In fact, the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army were not so far from the border, and these ten minutes also included feints made by Vietnamese helicopters on the flight path. The purpose was to prepare in advance so that the Vietnamese army would not guess the military objectives of our army from our flight path. Still, I was a bit surprised to reach my goal in such a short period of time, because I felt like I wasn't hot on the helicopter yet!

But when I think about it, I didn't dare to slack off in the slightest action, and shouted at the soldiers over the miniature walkie-talkie: "Get ready for battle!" ”

With a ......"bang", the soldiers neatly pulled the bolts.

"'Stirring' up the mines!"

"Open the bomb ......"

At my command, the bomb port under the helicopter was quickly pulled open.

With a "whew", the wind that rushed up from the bomb port filled the entire cabin in an instant, and the force of the wind was so strong that the soldiers and I couldn't help but shake down. However, the soldiers and I have already experienced too many situations like this in our usual training, and it is no surprise at this time, so we have been able to stabilize our body very well.

At this time, the speed of the helicopter's advance slowed down, and then Wang Yunming shouted at us: "Drop the bomb!" ”

The soldiers didn't know what to do at this time, and they threw the mines that had been 'excited' in their hands along the bomb port to the darkness below.

It was still pitch black and I couldn't see anything, but I could imagine ten helicopters flying in a line over the road, and then dropping mines onto the road like eggs. Three mines per person, more than 300 for more than 100 people, and more than 100 mines on this road, which is only more than three miles long, that is, more than 100 mines per mile, although this density is not high, but there is no doubt that it can slow down the progress of the Vietnamese army's motorized troops.

There were also a few mines that happened to explode due to collision with the ground, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Vietnamese army, so sporadic gunfire rang out below. There were no searchlights, no surface-to-air missiles, so I knew that the helicopter's feints had deceived the Vietnamese army, or that the Vietnamese army simply did not have time to prepare in such a short time.

So it was already too late, and the helicopters went straight to their respective targets as planned, two to Heights 303 and two to Heights 217, where they were to each deal with a platoon of the enemy stationed on these two heights. Eleven people against more than 30 Vietnamese troops, this may sound a bit difficult, but I believe that the trained soldiers can complete the task with a 'color'. After all, we have several advantages over the Vietnamese army, one is that they are unprepared, the second is that each of our teams is equipped with members of the 'shooting' strike team, and third, there are very good communications among the members. All of these can undoubtedly play an amazing role in this dark night.

The remaining six planes were divided into two parts, one in front of the other and one behind, occupying the two exits of the Vietnamese artillery position. Needless to say, their task was to flank the Vietnamese artillery positions located in the mountain depressions from both sides. I belonged to the army that attacked from the east. Of course, the reason why I was able to figure out that I was in the east at this time was because it was written in the plan.

If we only look at the comparison of troops, the enemy we have to deal with can be said to be terrifying, and 66 people will have to deal with an artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army......

However, I didn't worry too much, the artillery unit was mostly trained in how to 'operate' the artillery, and as for the offensive and defensive battles in the infantry...... They have always been protected objects, so no matter how large they are, it won't help.

......As we had originally planned, the two exits of the Z-5 were loaded with machine guns, of which the machine gun at the rear of the cabin was still a millimeter high 'shooting' machine gun, and as soon as the cabin 'door' was pushed open, it ruthlessly 'fired' rows of bullets at the Vietnamese troops below, and in an instant the Vietnamese troops below screamed screaming.

"Action!" As soon as I gave the order, the warriors who had already prepared were very skillful in grasping the rope and sliding down! ~！
