Chapter 64: Anti-Tank Missiles (3)

"Kill!"

With a shout, the Vietnamese army launched a charge at our position at this moment.

It should be said that they were right to attack at this time, because if they did not attack at this time, then what was waiting for them would be that the tanks would be destroyed by our anti-tank missiles one after another, and then they would soon face the embarrassing situation of blocking our bullets and shells with their lives.

On the contrary, it is possible for them to attack now that the tanks attract the firepower of our army and let the tank units suppress the combination of our machine guns, grenade launchers and anti-tank missiles in terms of firepower, or it can also be said that the Vietnamese army wants the infantry and tanks to cooperate with each other...... If our army is concentrated in tank units with too much firepower, then their infantry is very likely to rush to our high ground and give us a fatal blow, on the contrary, if our army's firepower is concentrated against the infantry, the tank units of the Vietnamese army can free up their hands to suppress our firepower......

In fact, at this time, the Vietnamese army not only attacked the infantry in front of us, but also the Vietnamese army in the south launched an attack on the hilltop position where Scar was stationed at the same time, and the Vietnamese artillery also joined the coordinated attack.

And what about our army...... I also realized that this was a critical moment, so I didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly transferred the grenade launcher that was used as a replacement.

So the sound of gunfire, cannons, and shouts of killing soon intertwined...... I have to admit that I have fought so many battles, and I have never faced so many enemy attacks on my own, and I have never seen such a chaotic scene.

Although the Dai Nai Mountain Blocking Battle and the Pass Blocking Battle were also very tragic, they were fought by the Vietnamese army in a large area and with the coordination of other units of our army. Now it is our army alone that is facing a division of the Vietnamese army...... Perhaps there is not one division so many, and the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army has to withstand the pressure of the main forces from our regiment on the other side. It is impossible to spend all the forces on this 581 heights. But to the south of us was a regiment of the Vietnamese army that had arrived to reinforce us.

Moreover, both the north and the south can be used to launch a large number of troops to launch an attack by troops above the company level...... In addition, the Vietnamese army has invested three arms here: infantry, tan, and artillery. As a result, the scene was chaotic for a while, with bullets and shells flying everywhere on the position, and no one could tell which ones were fired by their own men and which were fired by the enemy.

But I know at least a little...... There will be no more tanks coming from the Vietnamese army to reinforce them.

The reason is obvious, if there are still tank troops in the Vietnamese direction, they don't need to make such a desperate bet at all, they can completely use tanks to fight our army while continuing to let tanks intersperse...... In this way, as the Vietnamese army has more and more tanks, we will have a moment of collapse even if we still have anti-tank missiles.

As for the Weishenme Vietnamese army, there were no more tanks...... I think the reason for this is very simple, the rainy season. Moreover, this area of the Sino-Vietnamese border is all mountainous, plus the blasting along the way when our army retreats...... I'm afraid that these dozen or so tanks were all brought over one by one by one with great effort.

Therefore, I have every reason to believe that this is the Zuihou fight of the Vietnamese army, of course, this also means that when it comes to life and death, it depends on who can hold out to the moment of Zuihou's victory.

"Marx!" I yelled at the walkie-talkie: "Organize artillery fire to stop the shooting immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Marx can be said to be very busy, on the one hand, he had to organize artillery observers to bomb tanks with anti-tank missiles, and on the other hand, he had to direct artillery fire to bomb the Vietnamese army...... Fortunately, we had been stationed at the 581 Heights for more than a month, and Marx was very familiar with the coordinates of all directions and positions, and some of them could even be reported without even checking their mouths. Otherwise. Even if Marx had three heads and six arms, he could not do so much.

At this time, I realized that modern warfare requires literate and learning soldiers, such as now. If I let a soldier who doesn't know a few big characters like a bayonet or a soldier operate the anti-tank missile...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to tell the reason for it for a day or two. It is no wonder that in the subsequent military reform, it will be required to have a high Chinese certificate to enlist.

"Whew!" Soon a batch of mortar shells exploded.

As a matter of fact, our artillery has been fighting a long time ago, but most of them have been fired at the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army before, and their purpose is to suppress the Vietnamese artillery fire and attack the Vietnamese artillery as much as possible.

The reason why we did not fight at the front of our army...... It is the artillery that does not observe our positions, in other words, they do not know which position is the enemy and which is their own.

Some might say...... Isn't that too easy? Our army is stationed on the 581 heights, and the positions outside the 581 heights are all Vietnamese troops...... The problem is that the situation on the battlefield is changing every minute, what if our army launches a charge on the positions of the Vietnamese army at this time? What if the Vietnamese army has already rushed to the positions of our troops?

Therefore, artillery observers are equivalent to the eyes of long-range artillery fire, and the data they report is to tell the artillery in the rear where the enemy is and where they should hit.

At this time, a burst of artillery fire came up, and it was the Vietnamese infantry who were charging...... At this time, the Yue devils of the Fifth Infantry Division attacked like crazy, and they no longer cared about the alternate cover and coordinated with each other, all of them grabbed their rifles and shouted while stepping on the corpses of their comrades and rushed towards our defense line.

It can also be seen from this that the more devils are still the more devils, whether they are affected by Western culture or not, and whether they are trained by the US military or not, they still have the ruthlessness of the Vietnamese in their bones.

But how can flesh and blood compete with bullets and shells, the bullets of our army's various assault rifles plus a burst of mortars...... It was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves and knocking them to the ground.

So this bought a little bit of time for the rest of our army's firepower...... This little bit of time is very important, and it can even be said to be the key to determining the victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Because in such a short time, the grenade launcher can fire a volley of grenades at the Vietnamese tank unit...... Of course, just in front of our position, a field of mortar shells exploded, and these shells stirred up a lot of smoke and water vapor, which to some extent affected the sight of the shooter.

But there is no doubt that these have a much greater impact on the enemy than on our army. The reason is simple, the Vietnamese tanks are lined up, even if the distance is almost a thousand meters, it can still be said to be a considerable target. In addition, the grenade launcher has a fast rate of fire, so it doesn't matter if it is blocked by water vapor and smoke, and a grenade can almost hit a tank if you sweep it according to the position of the big one.

Of course, these grenades could not have done much damage to the tank, but the shrapnel that exploded was enough to kill and injure machine gunners and anti-aircraft machine gunners who were taking cover from the tank.

On the contrary, the main threat of the Vietnamese army to our army is tank artillery...... Its gunners were originally hiding in tanks and aiming their periscopes at the points of fire of our troops, well! In the middle, the water vapor and smoke from the mortar were separated from each other...... Like a blind man, he can't see anything.

As a result, the firepower of the Vietnamese army was quickly suppressed by us, so the anti-tank missiles had a chance to play their ......

A few of Marx's artillery observers, of course, were not stupid, and quickly seized the opportunity to poke out their shots and aim at the Vietnamese tanks...... You must know that although the anti-tank missile is not heavy, the sight and launcher are combined to make a big guy, and this is if you lean out to aim at it in normal times...... There is no doubt that it will become a key target for Vietnamese machine gunners and snipers.

But now the situation is different, the Vietnamese infantry has just been beaten by mortars, and the covering fire has also been suppressed by our troops, so they are given a little time to be relatively safe......

Then, after a few "chirps", four missiles came out with a whistling sound, and it was only then that I realized that there seemed to be a wire attached to the back of the missile......

Later, I realized that I was right, that the Dragon anti-tank missile was corrected by a wire connected to the missile. To put it simply, after the missile is launched...... The shooter's sight and tracking device are aimed at the target, and the tracking device transmits this data to the missile through a wire and makes corrections.

All right! This guidance method is much worse than that of modern missiles, which automatically track the target after being hit...... It's just that what I don't know is that in this era, this guidance method can be regarded as advanced, and the earlier generation of missiles still has a handle like a game console, which needs to manually control and correct the flight attitude of the missile!

It is precisely because of the relatively advanced guidance method of the Dragon anti-tank missile that the accuracy of the Dragon is still very high when striking fixed targets...... It's a bit more powerful when it comes to hitting moving targets, such as fast-moving tanks or cars...... This requires a lot of offset and you have to constantly change your attitude, so it's a matter of luck to hit. It is no wonder that the U.S. military liked to use this anti-tank missile to hit the trenches and fortifications of the Vietnamese army during the Vietnam War.

At this time, we hit a relatively fixed target, because the offset was not large, so although the fighters were all novices, two of the four missiles accurately hit the Vietnamese tank......

I have to admit that watching the Vietnamese tank burst into flames was soon followed by a secondary explosion...... That is, after the explosion of the shell inside the tank and turning into a ball of fireball, there will be an inexplicable refreshment in the heart.

It's a feeling that I can't put into words, like a kind of relief, and like a kind of relief...... We've taken out the enemy's big killer, so how can we not be excited?

As a result, the T62 of the Vietnamese army has changed from the original five to two, and the rest are either T54s with relatively small firepower or outdated American tanks...... And they also have to fight under the threat of anti-tank missiles. In other words, we seem to be on the winning stakes. (To be continued......)
