Chapter 175: The Battle of Laoshan (9)
We waited fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes may not be a big deal under normal circumstances, just smoke two cigarettes and it will pass.
But for artillery or for a war, it is quite long, and it can even be said that these fifteen minutes are enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
But I'm not surprised.
This is not because the Vietnamese army is slow to react, but because the way the Vietnamese army uses artillery, it determines that they are half a beat slower than us.
You must know that the artillery of the Vietnamese army is used in a scattered manner, that is, we often call mobile artillery or use artillery to fight guerrillas.
Of course, this tactic has the advantage of survivability and even the ability to resist in the case of a numerical disadvantage in artillery fire.
However, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to command or takes longer to command.
The reason is very simple, for example, there are dozens of artillery pieces in one artillery position of our army, so if you want to bomb any target, all the artillery in the entire artillery position should adjust Zhuyuan according to one coordinate and then open fire. It's also very convenient to shift the target, which is a matter of adjustment.
However, this is not the case with the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army, and the dispersion of artillery means that there will be many artillery positions, and the disadvantages of these scattered artillery positions may not be so obvious in small-scale artillery battles, but if a large number of artillery is needed to concentrate on a certain target to suppress or strike, then how many artillery positions need to have many different coordinates, and a large number of communication troops are also needed to carry out communication assembly.
If you adjust the direction of shooting...... That's even more of a nightmare.
Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and although the Vietnamese army's artillery tactic of fighting guerrilla attacks is clever, it will have great difficulties and inevitable defects in its specific operation.
However, what the more devils don't know. Actually, they should be a little slower. So that they can live longer.
"Coordinates. Three five holes, three turns, three turns, ......" Chen Weihua, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly reported a large number of coordinates.
There was no need for me to give an order, the correspondent immediately reported these coordinates to the relevant artillery positions via walkie-talkie, and soon the artillery of the composite battalion sounded.
Rocket-like wakes streaked across the sky, and the Vietnamese camp soon burst into flames.
Since this artillery battle was in the dark of night, and under the impact of other artillery bombardment, and because we are now on a high ground more than 300 meters above sea level...... This is so that the artillery sighting radar can detect a longer range.
Of course, we don't dare to do this during testing. Detecting targets on high ground is too obvious and can easily be covered by Vietnamese artillery fire. However, in wartime, and at a time when our artillery fire was fully attacking and suppressing the Vietnamese army in the dark of night, I believe that the Vietnamese army would not be able to find us among the many targets, and even if they found us, they would not be able to strike at us.
At this time, in my binoculars, I could clearly see the scene of the Vietnamese artillery position being destroyed by our artillery...... I think this is because there are many shells in the Vietnamese artillery positions, so every time the artillery fire passes, there will be some places where the flames are particularly high and bright.
From this, I can also see how amazing this artillery radar is.
So it didn't take long for the Vietnamese artillery fire to quickly quiet down.
At this time, I couldn't help frowning, because I knew very well that our army had blown up a lot of Vietnamese artillery positions. But definitely not as many as two artillery regiments.
Chen Weihua's eyes towards me also illustrate this point...... The artillery sighting radar can track the number of Vietnamese artillery, so Chen Weihua will observe the number of these artillery pieces at this time. And I got a number, thirty-nine.
Thirty-nine, that is, almost only one artillery regiment.
In other words, the Vietnamese army should have at least one more artillery regiment in their hands, and this is not counting their mortars and the number of artillery that survived under the bombardment of our army.
It is obvious that the Vietnamese army is learning to be obedient.
However, the Vietnamese army should also learn to be obedient, since the last time their two artillery regiments were easily disabled by an artillery battalion of our army, they have realized the power of our army's "new telescope".
Therefore, they also know that once our army's "new telescope" is reactivated, then their artillery will not have any chance.
It is precisely for this reason that after the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army were covered by our troops, they realized that the "new telescopes" of the Chinese soldiers came in handy again, and the fools would continue to shoot artillery.
Therefore, the current Vietnamese army would rather do nothing and let us bomb it, and its artillery will not fire a single shot.
It would not be accurate to say that a single shot was not fired, because it did not take long for the Vietnamese army to find a method that seemed to work...... Mortar.
I believe that this was discovered by the Yue devils by accident, because mortars generally belong to the cover fire of the infantry and not to the command of the artillery. When the Vietnamese infantry was shelled by our army, they tried to hide their fear or vent their anger...... After all, their artillery was completely powerless in front of the artillery of the Chinese soldiers, which was very infuriating to anyone.
So at this time, some of the Vietnamese devils took mortars and fired in the direction of our army...... Of course, the firing range of small-caliber mortars is only a few kilometers, and it will not have any effect on our artillery at all.
However, the trajectory of these mortars was still tracked by the artillery sighting radar, and of course Chen Weihua immediately reported these coordinates to the artillery unit without any difference, and the artillery unit exploded according to this coordinate...... Here's the problem.
The mortar is a curve, and the more devils bombard us with mortars on the anti-slope plane, although the artillery sighting radar calculates this coordinate very accurately and in a timely manner, but the curve of the howitzer is not as curved as the mortar, so all the shells hit the positive slope, that is, they were blocked by the mountain.
So in my binoculars, I watched as mortar shells exploded in our camp, and we couldn't do anything about them.
I quickly realized this problem, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn, I'm really inexperienced, I thought I had planned it seamlessly, but I didn't expect that there would be a leak in the real fight!" ”
"Immediately bring up two regiments of 100 mortars!" I yelled at Zhao Jingping: "Fast! ”
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping answered, and grabbed the phone without saying a word.
Just like the best way to deal with a sniper is a sniper, the best way to deal with a mortar is a mortar.
I am sure that the Vietnamese army will be ecstatic when they find out about this problem, and they will even think that it is ...... Mortars are fired on the anti-slope plane, that is, the artillery positions are behind the mountains, so no matter how advanced the "telescopes" of the Chinese soldiers are, they can't see through the mountains and observe the position of the mortars!
Therefore, it is very likely that they will quickly mobilize a large number of mortars to counterattack our army.
It's just that what they don't know is that it's not the telescope that can see them, but the artillery sighting radar. (To be continued......)
