The next second, the American tanks quickly retreated, and this time they did not go around in circles in front of us to avoid missiles, but retreated along the road into the dead end of the high ground and disappeared from our sight.

I think it's because the tanks don't know that we're running out of missiles at this point, or because they're scared by the explosion of the tanks.

The Vietnamese infantry lost the cover of their tanks and soon lost the will to charge, leaving behind a large pile of corpses and retreating like a tide.

Then there was a burst of cheers from the position, not only for winning the battle, but also for us to solve the big trouble...... Tank units of the Vietnamese army.

Many fighters excitedly hugged Marx and several other artillery observers and shouted:

"Marx! Good ......"

"Comrade artilleryman! You guys played so beautifully! ”

……

"Well played!" At this time, Scar had time to walk up to me, and said with a sigh of relief: "I thought we were done just now, but I didn't expect to kill another way to bite the gold halfway...... By the way, how do you know that there are missiles in the ammunition depot? ”

"Hmm, that...... Guess! I said, "I'm thinking...... We also have tanks in our troops, don't they? There is a good chance that there will be anti-tank weapons in the ammunition depot of the Yue devil, so take a few with you and look for them...... And it turned out to be true! ”

"Yours!" Hearing this, Scar couldn't help but hahadaxiao: "You are really a fucking lucky general, I fought with the Yankees for several years in the Yue Devil's place, and I didn't capture a single missile, and I was beaten by the Yankees...... You've flipped out a dozen of them! ”

"Maybe more than a dozen!" I said, "It looks like there's still ammunition in stock!" ”

Scar's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Little ...... Company Commander ......"

I almost laughed out loud when I heard Scar's words. Scar: It's used to being called "kid" like before. As a result, when he thought about it wrong, he changed his name to "company commander". So it became a "small company commander".

Scar said with some embarrassment: "Company commander, it's a shame to capture this thing, including the grenade launcher...... We don't have these things in our country, so if we take them back to China to study and study them, we will copy them in a bunch of them...... This battle will be easy! So don't run out of ......"

I nodded, of course what Scar said was true, you must know that our current anti-tank weapons are nothing more than bazookas...... But the rocket launcher has a range of only 300 meters, and we can't do anything if we go farther away from the devil tank like this, and we can't hit it just because they hit us!

I found out later...... In fact, at a distance of about a thousand meters, the anti-tank weapons of our army are not blank. For example, our army is equipped with a 65-year-old 82 recoilless gun, which has a firing range of more than 1,700 meters.

Yes, this thing requires a lot of launch space...... The reason for this was that the recoilless gun had a long barrel and would breathe fire from the back, and if there was not enough space in the rear, the tail flame would most likely burn the gunner, which was undoubtedly difficult to do in trench warfare on the heights. And even if it does, it will cause the firing position to be relatively fixed, and it will be easy to be attacked by the enemy.

Let's do it...... THE ARMOR-PIERCING THICKNESS OF THIS THING IS ONLY ABOUT 120MM, AND YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE SIDE ARMOR OF THE T62 IS 170MM...... In other words, it's not only inconvenient and dangerous to use, but it's also useless on the battlefield...... So the fighters preferred to carry bazookas rather than recoilless guns.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the realization that this 65-year-old recoilless gun could not adapt to the battlefield, so a recoilless gun that was finalized in 79 and mass-produced in 81 came out......

In other words, we were basically blank in anti-tank weapons at a distance of 300 meters. Even if it's the new recoilless equipment in '81...... There will also be the disadvantages of inconvenient highland warfare, and it would be very different if this anti-tank missile could be produced.

"Company commander!" At this time, the soldiers of Liang Lian shouted at me: "The ammunition depot has been dug through!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, I immediately ran down the traffic trench with Scar. Run to the cave and have a look...... A hole was dug that could only be climbed into by one person, and a few soldiers were constantly handing out ammunition inside!

"See if there are any more missiles?" I say.

"Missiles?" The warriors inside couldn't help but be stunned.

"Forget it! Let me in......" Saying that, I simply climbed in with a scar, went in and flipped through the ammunition with a flashlight, which was relieved, at least there were more than two dozen missiles!

Maybe it was our army that used a large number of tanks in the counterattack war, so the Yue devils thought that there were also Chinese tanks to deal with in this battle, so they shipped so many anti-tank missiles up, but they didn't expect it to cheapen us.

"Move this thing out of ten!" I said to the soldier in charge of carrying the ammunition: "No one is allowed to move the dozen or so left, and the grenade launchers are also the same, do you understand?" ”

"Got it!" Although the soldiers in the cave were recruits, they carried out the order unequivocally, and immediately ordered ten boxes of missiles and moved out.

By the time Scar and I got out of the cave, we saw a few soldiers looking around the missile outside:

"What kind of cannon is this? It's so powerful...... One shot can knock out a tank! ”

"There are still no shells!"

……

Marx and a few other artillery observers were proudly introducing the soldiers, not to mention how proud they were.

However, they do have the capital to be proud of, and they can destroy a few tanks of the Vietnamese army with a single Liliang...... This is very rare on the battlefield against Vietnam, and they can make a note of merit on this basis.

And at this moment, suddenly there was a whistling of cannonballs in the air...... At this time, the soldiers had also been on the battlefield for a while and had experience, so they carried and scattered the ammunition concentrated at the mouth of the cave without waiting for my order.

A few minutes later, I heard that the artillery fire was a little wrong, how it was sparse and the explosion point was biased towards the west...... When I came out of the trenches, I saw that the few remaining American tanks of the Yue Devils had already driven onto the road, followed by a large number of Yue Devils all the way to the canyon......

Obviously, the Vietnamese army is trying to break through, or it can also be said to escape!

My first reaction was...... If you want to escape, they will flee, anyway, they have already lost this battle, and from a strategic point of view, if we stop it, we will kill a few more people. And we've killed enough people today, and we don't want to kill anymore......

But the superiors obviously didn't think so, and the correspondent Xiao Liu handed the walkie-talkie to me, and there was a shout from Commander Liu: "Second company commander!" The devils are about to retreat, they must be stopped, and not a single devil should be let go! ”

"Yes!" I answered.

In some ways, some of my thoughts don't fit into the battlefield...... Maybe it was a reaction after killing too many people, or maybe it was a little unbearable to look at the embarrassed appearance of the Yue devil escaping.

Looking back now, these Yue devils are all soldiers, and if they go back today, they will pick up their guns against us again tomorrow. Therefore, the saying "mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself" is true, and since you have gone on the battlefield, you should not be merciful to the enemy. I think the Vietnamese army in front of us thinks the same way, and will do the same!

So I gritted my teeth and ordered: "Marx! You're in charge of fighting tanks! Other units are blocking the road with firepower! ”

"Yes!" With a response, the warriors set up various weapons on the trenches.

It should be said that the retreat of the Vietnamese army at this time was still orderly, or that they still had a little bit of a breakthrough...... The tanks all moved on the side facing the high ground of our troops, the machine guns and turrets also turned to our positions, and the fire cover units also followed the tanks all the way. Obviously, even if the tank is destroyed, it will block traffic in the middle of the road, and even the flames and smoke can provide cover for other troops.

But as soon as I saw their scattered formation, I knew that they had no intention of fighting......

This is the style of the American-style army, and the US military also has this shortcoming: it can only fight a smooth war, not a counter-war. To put it simply, their combat style is to use a large number of modern equipment to pile up, both aircraft and artillery, and if they fight well, they will march forward, and if they fail or hit a hard nail...... That morale will soon plummet, that is, the army will be defeated.

Facts also proved that my idea was right, and when the Vietnamese army approached, the soldiers fired all kinds of weapons in their hands as soon as I gave the order. As a result, not long after the gunfire rang out, the Vietnamese army, which was still in front of us just now, quickly dispersed...... There were those who fled in all directions, like a swarm of rattling ants, some burrowed into the ditch, some fled into the jungle, and some even fled north...... That side is the direction of China, and the main force of the People's Liberation Army is guarding there!

However, most Vietnamese soldiers still knew that they had a better chance of escaping by road...... Escaping into the jungle may solve the immediate crisis, but soon the Chinese army will occupy these heights as the Vietnamese retreat, which means that those who flee into the jungle will either starve to death in the jungle or will have to pass through the PLA blockade again.

So they mustered up the courage to take advantage of the cover of tanks and marched towards the road...... But the problem is that if the tank wants to cover the infantry, it will inevitably not be able to drive fast, and if it does not drive fast, it will be easily hit by missiles......

Our army's machine guns, submachine guns and other automatic weapons roared wildly, and a dense rain of bullets poured down on them in pieces, and grenade launchers also burst out one grenade after another in the middle of them, only to hit the Vietnamese army crying wolf.

As for the tanks that were going to rush through the canyon...... There's a whole bunch of rockets waiting for them! (To be continued......)
