The fierce artillery fire of the Vietnamese army lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually thinned out, Zhang Quanle got up and was about to rush out, but the little dragon next to him grabbed him.
"What are you anxious about, this is the first round of shooting, if you go out now, just enter the position, the Vietnamese army will come next to a new round of shelling, and then you have to run back, don't worry, there is our observation post monitoring outside, no problem."
Xiaolong looked like an old man and instructed the little brothers around him.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for another round of artillery fire to begin, and our artillery fire began to return fire, and our artillery also smashed multiple shells on the opponent's positions, which became a norm in the later stages of the war, so that many soldiers were seriously injured after being demobilized.
Commander Wu was studying the battle situation in this round with officers and staff officers at all levels in the war room, and the fierce shelling of the Vietnamese army made everyone realize that the intensity of the other side's attack was extraordinary.
"Comrades, this round of enemy attacks is not the same as before, from the scale of the attack, the intensity of the attack and the duration of the attack, the Vietnamese army is about to launch a new round of campaign offensive, which also confirms our previous judgment, they want to take the 54# high ground at any cost, and then control the entire area here, take Qu Lang Town, and choke our throat."
"This trick of the Vietnamese army is very vicious, once they succeed, the 386th Regiment and the 407th Regiment on both wings of our flanks will be forced to retreat, otherwise there will be a tendency to be divided, Staff Officer Wang, inform the front-line troops to closely monitor the enemy's movements, all the participating troops are ready for battle, and quickly send a reconnaissance team to find out the dynamics of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time to find the enemy's artillery positions as soon as possible, and knocking out their artillery will reduce a lot of pressure on our front-line officers and soldiers, and also avoid excessive unnecessary casualties and attrition."
Nguyen Van Hung was full of confidence in the upcoming attack, his intelligence officers had already discovered that the Chinese army had only one platoon on the 54# heights, and it was not enough, and the reinforced platoon led by Le Hong, who was responsible for the main attack on his side, was not only fully equipped with personnel and weapons, powerful, but also combat-ready, after two rounds of artillery saturation attacks, most of the surface fortifications of the opponent's position should have been destroyed, and now, he was only waiting for another tremor before dawn.
Chen Xiaotian has been observing the movements of the Vietnamese army in the hidden outpost, the past round of artillery bombardment is already the third round of this night, since the second half of the night, the artillery bombardment of the Vietnamese army has hardly been interrupted, judging from the intensity of the Vietnamese army's attack this time, the artillery bombardment of the Vietnamese army is by no means just for show, the high ground on both sides of his own side has been lost one after another, so that the pressure on him here has increased sharply, once there is any mistake here, the entire defense line of our army will be forced to shrink, Chen Xiaotian knows the weight of the burden on his shoulders.
The night was about to pass, but this time was also the most dangerous, he suddenly had a very bad feeling, and his intuition made him realize that the Vietnamese army was probably about to attack, so as soon as this round of shelling was over, he ordered the soldiers to step up the repair of the fortifications and enter the position as a whole, which was almost an instinctive reaction on the battlefield.
In fact, not only Chen Xiaotian felt that the Vietnamese army's shelling was different from the past, but the soldiers who had been on the front line for a long time also noticed the abnormality.
"Boy, you have enough ammunition prepared, this time the Vietnamese army is not good, we have to 'entertain' them well."
The gunsmoke on the position had not yet dissipated, choking Zhang Quanle and sneezing a few times, he quickly arranged the cover, turned his face to Shen Dapeng and Zhai Mingyi not far away, and asked in a low voice as low as possible: "Hey! Are you both ready? ”
The two of them crouched in the trench and gave Zhang Quanle a thumbs up, meaning that they were all ready.
Zhao Dahu was not worried about them, and ran over to admonish them, which made Zhao Dahu slightly relieved that these three people were indeed different from the recruits who had been replenished in the past, at least there was not the slightest cowardice on their faces.
But it's impossible not to be nervous, seeing that the big war is imminent, Zhang Quanle's hands holding the gun are already sweating, the whole person is tense, and he can even hear his own heartbeat.
A few flares rose into the sky, and a large area at the front of the position was suddenly illuminated, this was Chen Pao's order, the silence after the bombardment made him feel palpitations, and he felt more and more that danger was approaching him step by step.
At the moment when the flares lit up the front line, a dense rain of bullets accompanied by the shouts of the Vietnamese army poured from the distant jungles and mountains and rocks to the position, and even Zhao Dahu, who had been in battle for a long time, was startled by the scene in front of him.
Everyone did not expect that the Vietnamese army would move so quickly and secretly to the front of our position.
At this moment, the flares fired by the Vietnamese army also illuminated the positions on this side as if it were daylight, and the soldiers on both sides could almost see each other's hideous faces.
Although the 'Snow Wolves' team members are fed bullets in their usual training, and they have long been accustomed to the sound of guns, but after all, it is training, and it is far from the real war, and the shock in front of you is not something you can experience after how brutal the training is.
The Vietnamese troops on the opposite side are all real live ammunition, every bullet costs human life, and the bullets they shoot will also end a person's life.
Zhang Quanle clenched the submachine gun in his hand, his brain was blank, and he couldn't remember to pull the trigger for a while as the bullets flew above his head and around him.
A rocket flew over Zhang Quanle's head and exploded behind him, splashing stones and dirt like a torrential rain and smashing down Zhang Quanle, Zhang Quanle was excited, and at the same time, Zhao Dahu's roar was heard in his ears.
"What are you doing! Shoot! ”
Zhang Quanle was pulled back to reality by the shouts of the big tiger, and at this moment what he heard in his ears were indistinguishable gunshots, explosions, mixed with scolding and moaning, someone should have been injured.
The crossfire composed of several groups of light and heavy machine guns vividly suppressed the Vietnamese troops in a zone less than 50 meters away from the position, and the Vietnamese army's reaction was also quite rapid, and they quickly selected a powerful place to arrange light and heavy firepower to begin a counterattack, and several rockets exploded near the machine gun position not far away, and Zhang Quanle saw with his own eyes that a soldier was lifted up by the huge explosive force and fell out of the bunker heavily.
"Stretcher!" "Hygienist!" "Fire cover!"
All kinds of shouts came and went, but they looked so delicate in the deafening sound of gunfire, and the members of the 'Snow Wolf' saw the tragedy of real war for the first time.
The soldiers were not lacking in blood, and the blood of their comrades-in-arms aroused their primitive wildness, and the three 'Snow Wolf' members grabbed the weapons in their hands and shot hateful bullets at the Vietnamese troops in the distance.
