Chapter 172 Directional Explosives

The battle ended in the defeat of the Vietnamese army.

After the second company was replenished to the front line, the Vietnamese army quickly felt the pressure, so the Vietnamese army quickly realized two points, one is that we have successfully changed the defense, and the other is that the hidden troops they rushed up have been completely wiped out.

The battle quickly turned into a killing, and although the Vietnamese were unwilling to accept defeat, they also knew that if they continued like this, they would not lead to anything but more casualties, so Zuihou still lost a lot of corpses and retreated like a tide.

The sound of gunfire and explosions died down, followed by bursts of screams.

This is the only time the Vietnamese army has stormed our trenches so far, so the casualties will definitely be much greater than before.

The fighters put down their guns and quickly got busy again, bandaging the bandages, carrying the wounded...... The whole battlefield was a mess, there was blood and corpses everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of corpses, blood and gunpowder, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a war...... I don't want to stay here for a moment.

"Platoon Commander......" Chen Yiyi found me at the first time, and was relieved until he saw that I was fine.

"I'm fine!" I nodded at Chen Yiyi.

I saw in her eyes the anxiety and worry that came from the heart, and the joy that came at the moment when she saw me...... It's a feeling I've never experienced before.

Perhaps, this is where I failed...... In modern times, I thought I was very favored by beautiful women, but now I found out that I was just wronged by them.

At this time, a cry caught my attention, and it should be said that crying is still rare on the battlefield at this time. For no other reason, crying is not only looked down upon. It can also seriously affect the morale of the troops.

Don't think it's just two tears. Things in the army are sometimes hard to say. Especially in the high-pressure state of the troops on the battlefield, sometimes just a few cries can quickly infect the entire army like a plague and arouse the fear and escape in the hearts of the soldiers.

But...... When I turned my head, I realized that it was the warriors who were wrong.

They were crying, but not because of pain, not because of fear, but because of their company commander......

I saw a touching scene that I had never experienced in my life: the soldiers of the fourth company spontaneously stood in two rows along the trenches, and with their hands, one by one, they passed down the bodies of the four company commanders on stretchers, passing each soldier to one soldier. They shook the hand of the fourth company commander or saluted...... They were saying goodbye to their beloved company commander in their own way.

At this time, the regiment commander and political commissar also came up.

The regiment commander looked at the corpse of the fourth company commander and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! Old Chen...... You've been with me for so many years, why didn't you say a word and left...... Dude, I want to play a few more games of chess with you! ”

"Fourth Company Commander!" The political commissar held the hand of the fourth company commander and said excitedly: "You can go with confidence, have you seen it?" The devil let us fight again, the fourth company didn't disgrace our troops, you won glory for us! ”

At the "......", it was like a gust of wind blowing on the battlefield, and the soldiers couldn't help crying.

I couldn't help but tear my eyes.

This is not only for the commander of the fourth company, but also for other comrades who have sacrificed their lives. It is also for those of us who are still alive and brave to face death with their chests held high...... What kind of suffering have we suffered, and what could be more tragic and touching?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The wounded and corpses were quickly sent down one by one. Because the fourth company suffered heavy casualties, and the company commander was sacrificed, the 217 heights were naturally handed over to our second company. However, because there were not many people left in Scar's row, it was obviously not appropriate to take on the task of guarding the canyon, so this heavy responsibility fell on my head.

I still gladly accept this task, because I think this canyon has been blocked by two tanks, so the Yue devil probably won't have the idea of fighting this canyon, so let's defend this canyon is not an easy job......

It's just that what I didn't expect was ...... The only place where the devils can pass through this pass is this canyon except for the 217 Heights, and all kinds of methods in the direction of the 217 Heights have been exhausted, and all kinds of corpses have been piled up, so where else can the idea of not hitting this canyon be hit next?

At this time, of course, I didn't expect this, I just felt that I had finally received a simple task after walking on the battlefield for so long, so without saying a word, I took the soldiers to the canyon to pick up the defense.

It's not ...... Just now we were still fighting on the 217 heights, but a platoon stationed in the canyon did not fire a single shot or casualties before changing the canyon position to us, which made me believe that this canyon was a safe haven.

I just want to think so, but I don't dare to be careless after really taking over the defense, after all, this place is a battleground for both the enemy and us, and if there is any mistake, it is directly related to the life and death of the entire army.

The first thing I did was to plant some directional explosives on both sides of the canyon.

The so-called directional explosives are to stuff some explosive packets in the cracks between the rocks on the two walls, and then pull them to a hidden place with wires to detonate them instantly.

This point was inspired by the previous scene when the Vietnamese devils entered the canyon: at that time, the Vietnamese infantry entered the canyon in large numbers under the cover of tanks, and even climbed the fortifications on the two walls to confront our army...... It is conceivable that if there are these directional explosives, there will be more devils to suffer.

However, these directional explosives are not suitable for loading too much, because every time the Vietnamese army attacks, it will be bombarded on both sides for a while, if it is too much and too dense and is killed by the tank artillery of the Yue devils, it will be in vain.

The second thing...... Or directional explosives.

It's just that this directional explosive is a little different, the directional explosive just now is against the Vietnamese infantry, isn't it? The experience of previous battles tells us...... In this canyon, the infantry is still easy to deal with, and the difficult thing to deal with is the Vietnamese tank, the T62 with night vision capability of the Vietnamese army.

Just like the previous Scar platoon on the Vietnamese tank, the accuracy of the 40 rocket launcher is not high...... This is mainly due to the fact that the wind in this canyon is too strong, and this canyon can be said to be the only exit to the south of the Sabah area, so the mountain wind is pouring into this area one by one, and the 40 fire is easily affected by the wind, so few shots can hit.

In addition, the curvature of the turret of the T62 tank is prone to ricochet, and the armor protection is also very good, and infrared night vision can also track the trajectory of 40 fires and react quickly...... So using 40 guns to deal with Vietnamese tanks in this canyon is really not a haode option.

Since it is impossible to deal with 40 fires...... Naturally, all I can think of is directional explosives.

After all, there's only one trail in this canyon, isn't it? Anyway, the Vietnamese T62 will pass through this trail no matter what, so we just have to bury this explosive in the center of this trail...... Just wait for the tanks of the more devils to come up.

Some might say...... Isn't the bottom of this tank also armored? This buried explosive package can blow up the T62?

This starts with the thickness of the tank's armor, as the saying goes, where there is a spear, there must be a shield, and the thickness of the tank's armor is not the same in all parts. Tanks are also about speed and efficiency, and if you want to pay attention to these, you must reduce the weight appropriately, and you must reduce the weight...... Then it is necessary to scientifically allocate the thickness of the tank's armor.

How to distribute it?

SIMPLY PUT, THE ARMOR THAT IS OFTEN SUBJECTED TO ENEMY ATTACKS SHOULD BE THICK, SUCH AS THE FRONT ARMOR OF THE TANK OR THE FRONT OF THE TURRET, WHICH IS 100MM TO 230MM THICK. Areas that are less susceptible to enemy shells, such as rear armor, upper and lower parts of the tank...... Then the thickness of the armor should be thin, especially the bottom of the tank...... There are basically no shells that can hit this part, right? UNLESS SOMEONE WOULD BURY THE CANNON IN THE GROUND, THE ARMOR WOULD BE ONLY 15MM TO 30MM...... This thickness can be pierced even from a distance of 500 meters with an anti-aircraft machine gun, so not to mention the explosive pack.

The third thing...... If anything, it's still directional explosives.

It's just that this directional explosive is a little different...... I found two jutting boulders above the canyon, weighing several tons...... I don't really know how heavy it is if I haven't weighed it, but it's scary anyway, and it looks like it's hanging above the canyon and can't fall. So I wickedly asked the warriors to dig a few holes in the stress of these boulders and put explosives on them...... Anyway, explosives are in the ammunition depot of the devil, and they don't need it for nothing.

After doing this, some incendiary bombs were transferred and distributed to the fighters of each platoon...... The role of this thing does not need to be explained too much, it can make the T62 lose its night vision and let us find the target more clearly, right? This kind of treasure that can transform the enemy into the enemy is of course indispensable.

The regimental commander also knew the role of this incendiary bomb in the canyon, so he was also very cooperative and collected all the incendiary bombs for us to use.

It's just that there are not many shells in the Vietnamese army, and we still have to find incendiary bombs among the few shells, so we can only find a few dozen of them, and the three squads under my command are divided into more than a dozen in each squad.

This can't help but make me sigh: if I am asked to guard some place next time, then don't think about anything...... Let's start with dozens of boxes of incendiary bombs.

Zuihou I then numbered the various directional explosives, marked them on a map and verified them strictly with each class...... The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to know the corresponding position of each directional explosive, if you confuse the corresponding explosives, then it is not a random explosion.

That's the finishing of the preparations, and the next step is ...... I just don't know if the Yue devils will attack this canyon. (To be continued......)
