Chapter 117: The Defense of the Vietnamese Army

Figures were running everywhere, and I was only one step behind the soldiers, unable to distinguish between friend and foe under the smoke and smoke of grenades. But it doesn't matter if I can't tell the difference, as long as the fighters can tell the difference.

I have to admit that the sniper rifle does not play a role at all, because at this time the enemy and the enemy are very close to each other, and they are often face-to-face, so even the best sniper rifle may not be as good as a shoddy submachine gun in this situation.

But even if I can't tell the difference between friend and foe, I can still tell that the battle is one-sided. As soon as the soldiers rushed in, they rushed at the weak flanks and even the backs of the Vietnamese army, only to make the Vietnamese army scream and "chaos".

To our left is a large storage room, where dozens of Vietnamese soldiers are resting, ready to rotate or "refuel" the Vietnamese troops who are defending outside the house. Where would the soldiers let them go, a few grenades were thrown into it and the Vietnamese army staggered, and then two 'Ting' machine guns sealed the Vietnamese army in the house......

The bones of the Yue devils were also very hard, and although the room was beaten by us like a piece of blood and minced 'meat', they still refused to come out and surrender. They wanted to escape, but the exit was blocked by our army's machine guns, so they had to resist desperately in the house with tables, chairs, 'doors', windows and other objects.

It's just that our Fifth Company has been fighting since the beginning of the war to the current unit, and the soldiers have long accumulated considerable combat experience on the battlefield, and this resistance certainly cannot help them. Two grenades kicked up a cloud of smoke before suddenly a Pyro spun out from around the corner......

With the sound of "......", the brick house of dozens of square meters suddenly became a purgatory, and the screams followed, and dozens of figures covered in fire were frantically crawling and jumping in it, and it was not an exaggeration to describe them as ants on the hot nest, and after a while, they gradually stopped moving and lost their sound, and the air was soon filled with the smell of gasoline and a disgusting smell of roasted meat.

The Vietnamese troops on the right were not having a good time either, they focused their guns and attention on the outdoor street, not thinking at all that we would break through the wall from the side. As soon as our troops rushed in, they were hit in the back, and a large pile of bullets fell down. Those who were lucky and reacted quickly immediately seized the 'door', but they had to face the members of the 'shooting' attack team that our army was ambushing at the commanding heights......

Beyond the 'door' window are the positions and tanks of the Vietnamese army with sandbags. There is no doubt that they were already surrounded by our troops on three sides, and a rain of bullets went down, and many Vietnamese troops fell in pools of blood before they could react to what was going on. Those T54 tanks completely 'exposed' their weak flanks under our guns, and where would they be polite to these 'fat' and 'meaty' fighters who gave their mouths, and the "boom" on the bazooka was a few cannons, and only those tanks burst into black smoke and flames in an instant.

There was a tank that avoided the fate of being destroyed by our army's bazooka because it was caught in the middle, but then it was very helpless to find that there were destroyed tanks on both sides, and there were several PLA Type 59 medium tanks in front of it rushing up violently, and it had no chance to escape at all......

The battle was soon over, and the Public Security Bureau, which had been unable to capture even after several days of sacrifice by other troops, had only lasted more than ten minutes before and after our men. Only a handful of more than 100 people in a company of the Vietnamese army were able to escape back, and the price we paid was only a dozen or so people in the soul war.

When the battle was over, it was as if the entire police bureau had been subjected to a massacre, with blood and corpses everywhere, as well as a whole room full of weapons and ammunition......

So much so that when Platoon Commander Lin, who was following behind, came through the 'door' and 'hole', he was so shocked that he couldn't speak on the spot when he saw that we had achieved such a big result so easily.

"Battalion commander!" After instructing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Li Zhifu asked at the weapons and ammunition in the room: "What to do with these things?" We can't bring that much! Is it to blow up or ......"

I casually looked at the batch of ammunition 'medicine', there were bullets and artillery shells, there were also many anti-tank weapons, some of them were even Type 69 rocket launchers produced in China, and the words "Made in China" were clearly written on the wooden box. These must have been reserves left by the Vietnamese army to defend the Public Security Bureau. With this batch of ammunition 'medicine', even if the rear does not send bullets up, it will be enough for us to fight for a few days.

But then it quickly occurred to me...... Will the Vietnamese army willingly let us get this batch of ammunition 'medicine'?

Because of international public opinion, our army did not dare to bombard civilian houses with long-range artillery on a large scale, but the Vietnamese army did not have such worries, because they could say that these bombed places had been occupied by our army.

Thinking of this, I secretly said no, and hurriedly ordered into the walkie-talkie: "All of them, leave the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible and move forward at full speed!" Repeat, leave the house and go full throttle! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers had been living and dying with me on the battlefield for some time, and most of them had an almost blind trust in me, so they did not hesitate to carry out my order, even though they did not understand why I gave this order.

Soon the soldiers rushed out of the house in an orderly manner, all the way forward. I and the guards had just had time to get out of the house when I heard the whistling sound of cannonballs in the sky, and after a while, with a "boom" sound, houses exploded in the shells.

Sawdust, broken bricks, and gravel flew behind us, and where could those old brick buildings withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of these long-range artillery fires, and they fell into a mess in an instant. A few minutes later, after the Vietnamese shelling was over, we looked back and saw that the building, which was still more than ten meters high, was now in ruins as if it had been wiped out by a big hand. Fortunately, we came out of the house first, otherwise we would have been buried all in it.

"Hey! What the fuck! Seeing this, Li Zhifu couldn't help scolding: "This devil blew up his house so hard!" ”

"Company commander!" Al Ziri got up from the ground, patted the dust, and said lightly: "These are no longer the houses of the Yue Devils...... It was just occupied by us, wasn't it? ”

"That's right!" Li Zhifu said with a smile: "Then let's go and occupy more houses and see how many devils can blow up, and it is best for them to blow up all the houses in Langshan by themselves!" ”

There was a coaxing, and the soldiers laughed one after another, and they didn't look like they had just walked through the ghost 'gate' and were lucky to save their lives.

"Keep going!" I gave the order to the soldiers.

Although what Li Zhifu said was a joke, there is actually a certain amount of truth. At this time, the Vietnamese army must have known that we relied on the cover of our houses to open 'holes' to advance, but even so, what could they do? Outside, the Vietnamese army did not know where the main forces of our army were hiding. Not to mention that their artillery did not dare to act rashly under the suppression of our army, even if they dared to move...... They don't know where to blow it up.

As a result, the soldiers marched forward with a triumphant march all the way, and successfully won the public security school, the senior sanatorium, and the provincial post office. Among them, in order to deal with this kind of 'hole' attack of our army, the Vietnamese army also tried several methods.

For example, in advance in the house to arrange firepower to build a defensive line, as soon as our troops smashed a 'hole' in the wall, their bullets "boomed". However, our army was gradually advancing in a situation where the left, center, and right were covering each other, and once the offensive in the room was blocked, a tank would soon rush forward with full horsepower and "bombard" the room with artillery fire and machine guns......

Later, the soldiers may have been tired of using hammers to open the way, and some even used bazookas to do the work for them. It is also easy to use a bazooka to open the way, and a big 'hole' is a bang. But many of the houses in the southern district are old and dilapidated, and on a few occasions a rocket has thrown a whole wall down, and the bricks and tiles above the head have also fallen. Fortunately, the soldiers hid quickly and there were no casualties, but after that, the soldiers no longer dared to blow up the wall with a bazooka.

"Battalion commander!" When our army was attacking the wall and searching and advancing, the communicator who had been following behind me handed the microphone to me and said, "Division phone!" ”

"Hmm!" As soon as I heard that it was a call from the division headquarters, I realized that I had not reported the situation to my superiors for a long time, so I hurriedly took the microphone.

Master Wang on the other end of the phone sounded in a good mood, and asked happily, "How is the situation?" I forgot to report it after chasing the devil all the way! ”

"Report to the division commander, everything is normal!" I hurriedly replied: "We have successfully taken the provincial post office, and now it is only a few hundred meters away from the municipal government!" ”

"Oh! It's so fast! Master Wang on the other end of the microphone laughed: "Comrade Xiao Cui! Our army has had a headache for several days, but I didn't expect you to solve it so smoothly today! Your method has proven to be very effective, and the attacks of our troops in other directions are also smooth, but they are not as fast as yours! You see...... Do you want to slow down, otherwise, you are likely to be alone and fall into the dilemma of being besieged! ”

"Hold off?" I was a little worried: "Division commander, attacking with this method is to take it by surprise and chase and fight all the way, if you slow down...... I'm afraid that there will be time for the Vietnamese army to prepare, and then I am afraid that there will be difficulties in fighting again! ”

"You're right!" Division Commander Wang replied: "But in fact, the troops are generally lagging behind your troops, and it is equally dangerous to continue fighting like this, I don't want you, Zhuge Liang, to fall into the siege of the enemy, so let's slow down!" ”

"Yes!" I answered.

Since the division commander has said so, where do I have any opinions? Turning around, he passed the order on.

It is said that our troops are not concentrated in a few rooms, but they fight all the way and disperse their forces along the way, so as to prevent the Vietnamese army from discovering the location of our army's main force and firing a burst of artillery to end us to the pot. At the same time, because all the houses are connected, once the soldiers need to be replenished, they can pull dozens of soldiers up at any time by shouting back through the walkie-talkie.

It was precisely because of this arrangement that as soon as the soldiers received the order to stand by in place, they immediately built fortifications in their respective houses in case of emergency, which has become the habit of my troops.

Later facts proved that my fears were correct, especially since the direction of our attack was still in the city of Lang Son, where there was a high concentration of personnel, and it also threatened the retreat of the Vietnamese People's Army garrison...... So during this period of rest and recuperation, the Vietnamese army also got a chance to breathe and laid out some fortifications that we didn't expect.

"Battalion commander!" During the break, Li Zhifu sat down beside me, handed me a red tower mountain with his injured hand, and said: "Seeing that this Langshan is about to be defeated, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"What else do you need to say?"

I don't know if Li Zhifu's cigarettes are attractive, or if the topic is particularly good, several soldiers next to him quickly surrounded him.

Al Ziri snatched the cigarette from Li Zhifu's hand, and said while quickly dividing it: "Of course, the next step is to hit the capital of the Yue devils, and they all say that this Lang Son is the 'gate' of Hanoi, and this big 'door' has been knocked on, so there is no reason not to go in!" ”

"That's it! Go to Hanoi and give them some awesomeness! ”

"Look at them and brag that they are the third military power! Knock them down and let them blow again! ”

……

The other warriors chimed in.

I was silent and didn't speak, and when I saw that Li Zhifu's left hand holding a cigarette was still shaking, I changed the topic and said, "How is it?" The wound on the hand is out of the way! ”

"Out of the way!" Li Zhifu answered, and then remembered the Vietnamese child, and there was anger in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Lao Tzu is really blind!" Saving a dog will also wag its tail at me......"

"Who told you to save the enemy?" Alziri quipped: "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and you now understand how justified this is!" ”

"Go, go, don't talk cool on the side......" Li Zhifu was angry, and when Al Ziri said this, his face suddenly turned red and white, and he only saw the soldiers laugh for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in front of us, and the tiles above our heads fell down one by one, and the soldiers hurriedly lay down on the spot, each in place, and raised his weapons. But the explosion was only heard for a short time and then disappeared, i.e., no shells hit us, and no enemy attacked us.

When the soldiers were in doubt, a soldier ran back to me and reported: "Battalion commander...... The devils don't know what they're doing, they're blasting their houses with explosives!

"Blasting your own house?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, but after thinking about it, I quickly understood that the Vietnamese army was creating a fault defense in the middle of the house!

Carrying a rifle through several 'doors' and 'holes', and looking out through the observation holes, sure enough, just as the soldier said, the buildings in front of him had been blown into ruins by the Yue devils, and the broken bricks and tiles and broken beams and wooden souls were piled up all over the ground, like small highlands in the middle of us. On the other side, a few hundred meters away, the Vietnamese army cut a 'shooting' hole in the side of the house and set up a machine gun, and the house was quickly converted into a simple pillbox.

Sure enough, it's a good idea! Seeing this, I couldn't help but secretly praise, this more devil really didn't cover it.

In fact, this method is also very simple, and it is often used when the house is on fire. When there is a fire, people often pull down houses that have not yet been burned to prevent the fire from spreading. Now...... When our fire was raging towards the Vietnamese army, they also used this method to solve the problem.

And it can be seen that the room opposite is also chosen by the Vietnamese army, it is a rare small building with steel and soul condensation, although it is only two floors, it is very solid, and it is not the kind that will collapse with a bazooka.

"Battalion commander! What to do? Li Zhifu, who came up, asked behind me.

"The enemy can't be allowed to organize a defense!" I replied, "Take advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet gained a firm foothold and the fortifications are not yet perfect, so immediately launch an attack and take down those small buildings!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, and then asked, "Do you want to ask your superiors for instructions?" ”

"It's too late!" I replied: "The sooner the clock is pressing, the better, immediately bring the tanks up and organize the attack!" ”

"Yes!" Li Zhifu answered, and immediately conveyed my order.

Seven 59 squadrons soon rumbled up, and as soon as they drove out of the streets, they scattered over the ruins in an offensive stance, followed by infantry ready to charge, followed by mortars, bazookas, recoilless guns, and heavy machine guns......

It only took us more than 10 minutes to complete these actions, which only made the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side nervous, and they were a 'chaotic' group of troops and tanks, which was not at all like a unit with a history of several decades of actual combat.

However, this is not surprising, just like ordinary people often do something wrong in their lives, they will face the rest with a very bad psychological state, and the result is worse and worse, and the worse they are, the more unpleasant they are; On the contrary, if there is a good beginning, then you will use a good attitude to solve the next problems, so that you can often do better and better.

In fact, it is the same when an army fights, and it should be said that if a unit's spirit is frustrated, it will not only affect one person, but everyone in the entire army. This is what we usually call morale, although this thing cannot be seen or 'touched', but it is real.

The Vietnamese army obviously belongs to the former situation, while our army belongs to the kind that has a good start and the more smoothly it fights.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready, I didn't want to give the Vietnamese army more time, so I immediately ordered over the walkie-talkie: "All of them!" Beat! ”

Mortars, tank guns, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons all spewed out tongues ......of fire at the Vietnamese positions, only to be met with flames and gunsmoke on the opposite side, and debris and bricks and tiles exploded everywhere.

I put down my binoculars and watched the scene from a distance, and secretly said in my heart: I hope that the next battle will be as smooth as we were before!
