In this way, I didn't have anything to think about, so I immediately waved my hand and asked Zhao Jingping to send the seventh and eighth companies up.

Originally, I thought that the general trend of the Vietnamese army at this time was gone...... This is not? Our mortar unit is ready, and under the guidance of the artillery observers on the helicopter, no matter how many people rush up, it will be in vain...... We have already sealed these two positions with artillery shells, and occasionally a few Vietnamese troops have rushed through our artillery blockade...... Waiting for them are the fighters in positions 4 and 5!

The fighters in positions 4 and 5 were running out of ammunition...... This doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, as they only need to pick up a few fish that slip through the net, and they don't need to consume much ammo at all.

On the other hand...... Our reinforcements have also arrived, and now our army is fighting from the top and the other from the bottom up...... There are still mortar units bombing overhead, and if the Vietnamese army does not retreat, I am afraid that it will only be surrounded and annihilated by our army.

But the situation is nowhere near as good as I thought......

Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief...... Suddenly, a very dense burst of artillery shells came from the direction of the Vietnamese army...... Based on my experience on the battlefield, I was able to determine that the point of explosion of these shells was nearby...... But I also knew that the target of these shells could not be Faka Mountain, and the battlefield of Faka Mountain was relatively far behind the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, and long-range artillery fire would not play much role.

So what are you bombing?

The next second, I secretly said no...... The target of this batch of shells is the mortar unit that is providing fire cover for Mount Faka!

Sure enough, these shells exploded in some sensitive areas a few kilometers behind our troops...... Although I don't know where our mortar positions are located...... At this time, there was some confusion in command, and I even had no idea about the two new mortar companies. Of course, I don't know where the mortar position is. And the mortar positions are also transferred at any time...... I don't seem to have much need to know.

But I can still see the shadows of our soldiers and mortars in the flames of the shell explosions...... It's obvious. Our mortar units simply did not have time to transfer, or the mortar units were reluctant to transfer in order to be able to buy a little more time for positions No. 4 and 5 on Mount Faka...... The result was heavy casualties under the Vietnamese artillery counterattack!

"Battalion commander!" Sure enough, Zhao Jingping quickly reported to me: "The mortar positions of two companies of our army were covered by Vietnamese artillery fire, and there were heavy casualties...... Our army is now only one mortar company! ”

"it!" I couldn't help scolding: "What are the artillery of Regiment Commander Li doing?" The three artillery groups can't suppress the artillery of the devils?! ”

"Battalion commander!" King Chuang then replied: "This time the Vietnamese artillery group that covered my mortars ...... It is the hidden strength of the Vietnamese army, and this artillery group of Vietnamese devils has not fired a single shot since the start of the war, so it is ...... Commander Li has already suppressed it! ”

I quickly understood when I heard this...... Just as our army has always hidden an artillery group and has not moved, the Vietnamese army has also been hiding an artillery group...... This artillery group is hidden to be effective at this critical moment, because it has not fired a single shot since the start of the battle...... Therefore, our artillery did not know about its existence at all. There is no suppression.

In terms of artillery battles...... The Vietnamese army may have lost!

Because they still couldn't resist throwing this hidden artillery group into the battlefield at the end of the day...... Such a dozen also means that the position is exposed first, and you must know that our army also has a hidden artillery group ready to enter the battle at any time...... So it didn't take a few minutes, and before the artillery group of the Vietnamese army came to move quickly...... Our army's artillery shells will beat the Vietnamese army's artillery group.

But in terms of the whole campaign...... The Vietnamese army is likely to win......

Because at this special moment, these two mortar batteries of our army can be said to be quite important...... Because they determine whether we can block positions 4 and 5 on Mount Faka with artillery fire.

Now we have lost these two mortar batteries...... It is very likely that it means that we will not be able to hold the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, and if we cannot hold the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, it will also mean that we will not be able to hold the Faka Mountain...... At that time, it will not only be the soldiers on the No. 4 and 5 positions that will be eaten by the Yue devils, but also the seventh and eighth companies and even Li Zuolong's platoon......

To put it simply...... It is very likely that the Vietnamese army knew that the artillery of the road would suffer heavy losses as soon as the artillery fired, but they were willing to use this artillery group in exchange for victory in the final battle!

This time, those more devils are rampant......

On the one hand, because our army has lost artillery cover, and on the other hand, because two companies of our army have appeared at the foot of the mountain...... The Vietnamese army clearly knew that they were actually under the attack of the Chinese army from both sides, and if they could not take down the No. 4 and No. 5 positions in time. Then they have only a dead end, so under this pressure...... In addition to leaving two squads of soldiers to block the 7th and 8th companies up the mountain...... The rest pressed up to the top of the hill like crazy!

So the situation is quite bad......

The current charge of the Vietnamese army can almost be called a "crowd tactic...... This tactic is ineffective in general. The reason is that individual weapons are now very advanced, such as AK47, such as light and heavy machine guns...... These are all sharp weapons against the tactics of the sea of people.

But here's the problem...... Our fighters on positions 4 and 5 have little ammunition left...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with the Vietnamese army's crowd tactics at all!

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping yelled at me: "Position 4 is urgent, and the ammunition has been exhausted......

"There is not much ammunition left in position five!"

"Order the mortar troops!" I ordered loudly: "Give me the charge of the Yue devils...... Let the seven and eight companies rush up at the fastest speed! ”

"Yes!"

……

That's what the order was given, but I realized that the battle was likely to be lost...... There was only one company left in the mortar unit, and more than ten mortars were simply not enough to beat down the charge of the Yue devils.

And the seventh and eighth companies of our army...... Even if you rush up at the fastest speed, it will take more than ten minutes...... No matter how quickly the Vietnamese army occupies positions 4 and 5, it can't be rushed!

But this time the fighters of the second battalion surprised me again......

On the helicopter, I saw batches of Vietnamese troops rushing up against mortar shells, but batch after batch were shot down...... During this time, I even saw several soldiers rushing down with bright bayonets......

Of course, you can't fight with the bayonet with the Yue devil...... The Vietnamese devils are all people who grew up on the battlefield, not to mention that the number of the Vietnamese army is much larger than the number of our army...... So before they could go far, these soldiers were surrounded by more than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers and stabbed with bayonets.

It's just that what the Vietnamese army didn't expect was ...... The fighters fought with bayonets, but the real reason why they rushed down was that they were carrying a bag of explosives that had been ignited behind their backs...... (To be continued......)
