Chapter 181: Charge

Under the blows of our soldiers, the Vietnamese tanks only slowed down, and then rushed forward again with full horsepower.

I can understand this kind of move, after all, they only have the only way to survive in front of them, not to mention that it is difficult for tanks to retreat in this canyon...... So there is no choice but to rush forward.

"Keng" With the sound of steel colliding, the tank on its heel quickly collided with the wreckage of the tank that was blown up by our troops. I think it is quite possible that the Vietnamese tankmen were given an order before entering the canyon: not to brake at any time. So the wreckage of the tank was quickly pushed forward slowly......

In a way, the Vietnamese army is also testing the courage of our army...... They will take chances, deceive themselves into thinking that only a few of our troops have the courage to jump into the tank with explosive bags......

However, it soon becomes clear that this idea is very wrong.

Fighting a war is often something that someone else will follow...... If this phenomenon is said to be a kind of "herd mentality", in short, if someone is greedy for life and afraid of death and becomes a deserter, then it will soon arouse the cowardice in the hearts of other fighters. On the contrary, if someone is not afraid of death and fights with the enemy, it will also arouse the blood of the soldiers.

Luckily, my unit belongs to the latter.

So when the Vietnamese tanks rushed up again, the next soldier did not hesitate at all, but shouted: "Comrades, fight a few more Vietnamese devils for me!" Then he jumped into the Vietnamese tank with the explosives bag.

After having fought so many battles, the fighters also knew that the front armor of the tank was the thickest, while the side and rear armor were relatively thin. Especially the rear armor...... Not only was it thin, but there was also a large space for the warriors to gain a foothold. So the fighters chose the rear armor of the tank very sensibly.

That's what I can't imagine. You must know that this is a suicidal attack, and the soldiers know before they jump down that they will definitely be dead, and they will not even find a whole piece of meat, at this time they should be thinking more about the lives they are about to lose, thinking about their loved ones, and thinking about what they will leave behind after they die...... It is not about which part of the jump has a greater success rate.

But seeing is believing and I can't help but believe it, the warriors jumped down rationally like this......

The Vietnamese fire cover force seemed to want to stop our troops' movements, so all kinds of weapons quickly fired at the top of the tank or directly at the tail of the tank.

However, all of them are steep toil:

First of all. This canyon is not only dimly lit but also full of smoke, and they can't see where the target is from a distance of more than ten meters, so they can only mess around like a blind man.

Secondly, once the fighters jumped out of their hiding place, even if they were shot in the air, they could not stop them from falling on the tank with explosive packets.

The only difference is that a living fighter will do everything possible to grab something on the tank before the explosive pack explodes, while a sacrificed fighter can fall under the tank and affect the explosion.

However, even if the fighters are hit in the air, they will still have a breath when they fall on the tank. It was with this zuihou that they clung to the tank in one breath and held out until the explosive pack exploded.

At this moment, an image flashed in my mind: the soldiers who jumped on the tank were covered in wounds and blood. But they didn't care about their injuries at all, but clung to the handrails on the tank, stared at the fuse of the explosive pack, and watched it become shorter inch by inch with green smoke, and Zuihou exploded with a "boom".

I don't know how many people can do this on this shijie, I just know...... They are my soldiers, ordinary Chinese soldiers.

Finally, when the wreckage of the tanks was piled up to five, the tanks of the Yue Devil no longer had the courage to come up.

I think there are two reasons why they chose to stop there:

First, they believed that the Chinese soldiers guarding the gorge would jump down one after another and blow them up, and there were more than 30 people in a platoon, and even if two people blew up one tank, their dozen tanks would not be enough for the Chinese soldiers to blow up.

The second is that they also know very well that the five tanks were blown up on the path and the path has been blocked again, and unless the M60 is allowed to come up again to fill the river and build a road, the tanks are basically looking for death.

Merely...... In this case, will the M60 dare to come up again? Anyone knows that doing so will not do the battle any good, except to come up and seek death.

As a result, the remaining Vietnamese tanks slowly retreated outward under the cover of T62 fire.

"Attention all!" I ordered into the walkie-talkie: "No chasing, no chasing, no chasing!" ”

"Yes!" There were a few responses over the intercom, and their tones seemed a little reluctant...... I guess if I hadn't given this order, I'm afraid they would have caught up with me and blew up a few more tanks.

But this is not what I wanted, because I think that the lives of the soldiers are far more precious than the Vietnamese tanks, and even if there are a few Vietnamese tankers in the tank, even if they use one life, they will change one tank and a few Vietnamese soldiers seem to be sure.

What's more, I know very well that as long as the Vietnamese army cannot pass through this canyon, then there are only two outcomes waiting for them: surrender or annihilation. We don't have to do that.

After a moment of silence, I ordered the intercom: "Report casualties in each squad!" ”

"One person was injured in the second shift, three people were sacrificed, and six people are capable of fighting!"

"Three shifts...... Six people were killed, one was wounded, and four more were capable of fighting! ”

"Two people were wounded in one class, five people were sacrificed, and four more people are capable of fighting!"

The number of casualties was greater than the number of wounded, and it was several times larger, which shows how tragic this battle was. Then I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, the first class reported the situation in zuihou, and the voice on the walkie-talkie didn't seem to be Wu Zhijun...... So he frowned and asked, "What about the first squad leader?" ”

"Report platoon commander!" I only heard a choked voice from the walkie-talkie: "The first squad leader died, he was the first to jump off with an explosive bag!" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and then I let out a long sigh...... I never imagined that this squad leader, who had always been considered inferior in combat effectiveness and placed on the back burner, made the bravest decision at a critical juncture, and also made a good start and led the whole platoon of soldiers to a beautiful victory.

The battlefield is like this, and you can never imagine what amazing and amazing a martyr will do until he dies. However...... Now we can't even find the remains of the martyrs.

At this point, the Vietnamese commanders seemed to realize that this canyon was something they would never be able to breach. The focus of the offensive was quickly shifted back to the 217 heights.

However, it was not so easy to break through the 217 Heights at this time, because the Vietnamese army's attack on the 217 Heights was not fierce in the past few days, so the soldiers took advantage of the darkness at night to consolidate the positions of the 217 Heights.

Of course, this consolidation is not just about repairing fortifications...... The 447th Regiment specially brought up a platoon of engineers when performing interspersed tasks, in order to play a role when it encountered a Vietnamese minefield during the attack. It's just that what everyone didn't expect was ...... This force did not play an offensive role, but in the defense of Heights 217.

The more devils installed a lot of mines on the 217 heights, didn't they? Moreover, the Vietnamese army also rushed out of a passage with flesh and blood in front of the 217 Heights......

In the past few days, the fighters of the engineering unit had a whim, believing that the mines of the Vietnamese army could be used to consolidate the defense of the 217 heights. The method was to remove mines from other parts of the 217 Heights and transplant them to the passage where the Vietnamese army thought that there were no mines......

It should be said that the sapper fighters did it very successfully, and every time it was dark, they quietly climbed the 217 heights to carry the minefields on it...... And in order to prevent the Vietnamese army from discovering it too early, these new mines were still buried in areas that the Vietnamese army could not reach.

So when the Vietnamese army launched a general attack on the 217 heights, it was lively...... They originally thought that the mines in the position in front of them had been cleared, so they did not consider using artillery fire to clear the mines before the attack, but rushed up with confidence and boldness...... Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed up, he was blown up to pieces, and then he was hit by our firepower.

So the Vietnamese army had to use human lives to pile up like before...... At the same time, a detachment of infantry and tanks was sent to launch several charges on the gorge.

But it was a relief.

This shows that the Vietnamese commanders have been in disarray, and the fighting can be said to be disorderly. Isn't it? As soon as the canyon hit and found that it could not be broken, it attacked the 217 heights, and the 217 heights found that they could not be beaten and turned their eyes to the canyon......

This is not at all the previous combat style of the Vietnamese commander, and there are only two possibilities for this to happen: First, the commander has fled at this time, and now someone else is commanding. Second, the commander knew that the general trend had gone and commanded indiscriminately.

Either way, it's a good thing for us. At the same time, I also know that the main forces of our army are very likely to be close at hand.

Sure enough, more than half an hour later, a fierce artillery bombardment was heard from outside the position...... As soon as I heard the sound of artillery, I knew that it was our artillery, and the Vietnamese artillery shells were almost exhausted, and it was impossible to cover such a large number of artillery fire.

Then there was a loud trumpet...... That's right, it's indeed the Stormtrooper, because of the poor communication equipment of our army, the Charger will be more convenient and reliable than the walkie-talkie on some occasions.

At the same time, there was also the excited shout of Company Commander Luo on the walkie-talkie: "Second platoon commander! It was our troops, the main forces arrived! We've won! (To be continued......)
