Chapter Seventy-Six: Beijing Jeep
The Vietnamese army has three tanks, one of which is a T62 and two are a T54......
I think the reason why there are two T54s is because the Vietnamese army knows that the battle situation is urgent at this time, and they really need to use the cover of tanks to break through our army's defense line...... The perimeter of our army is very well defended, with two dormitory buildings plus warehouses and canteens...... These four construction points are just right, just enclosing the office building in the middle, and these four construction points can also reinforce each other, forming a crossfire between the two and two, and the three roads leading to the office building are like an iron bucket!
Want to break through such a line of defense...... The best way to do this is undoubtedly to use the cover of tanks...... Tanks are the king of land warfare, especially in urban warfare like this...... What kind of brick wall and what kind of cement bunker is built into a firing point, you only need to bombard it with a tank gun, and then you can't directly press it on the track...... Knocked down in three or two clicks!
So it was quite wise for the Vietnamese army to transfer tanks!
Merely...... This T54 doesn't seem to be of much use...... The reason for this is needless to say, T54, that is, in the 59 of our army, we have all used this tank, so I know that this thing does not have much night combat function, of course, if the Vietnamese army improved its night vision device or sighting system with the help of the Soviet Union, it would be another matter.
But I'm sure the Soviets wouldn't be stupid enough to do that...... You must know that they already have T62 and T72 tanks with advanced performance, and their skills are also quite mature, so if they really want to strengthen the tank troops of the Vietnamese army, they can directly give them T62, if they want to improve T54...... Not only to spend more time, but also to spend more money.
And only like our army...... The performance of the Type 59 was too poor to adapt to the battlefield, and the Type 69 tank was not put into mass production. The main force of the armored forces is still 59 ...... So it was necessary to make improvements in 59.
At this time, three tanks of the Vietnamese army came along three roads and directly into the office building of the center of our army. Each tank is followed by about a squad of infantry to coordinate with it...... Their goals are clear. It is to prevent our army from rescuing the communicators of the office building, and at the same time, it also forms an encirclement of the four buildings responsible for covering our periphery...... That's the role of the tank, using powerful firepower and hard shells, leading the infantry to force through the enemy's defense line and divide and encircle!
But of course, our army will not just sit idly by......
"Deal with two T54s first!" I didn't want to give an order to the reserves.
There were only two squads in the reserves, and there were only two Peking jeeps capable of dealing with enemy tanks...... So it was a two-of-three decision...... There is no doubt that I will choose to deal with two T54s first......
The reason is ...... There is considerable danger for the Beijing Jeep to deal with the T62, which has quite advanced night vision devices and sighting systems, if you choose to deal with it first...... Then there is a high probability that Beijing Jeep will have losses. You must know that the Beijing Jeep is not a tank or an armored vehicle...... It's just a jeep with a recoilless gun, not to mention a tank gun or an anti-aircraft machine gun on a tank, even a normal light machine gun or an AK47 can beat it to shreds.
So...... For equipment such as the Beijing Jeep, which has poor defensive strength and vitality, it is always right to give priority to targets that are easy to deal with...... Otherwise, once both Beijing jeeps are killed by the T62, then we, the infantrymen, will have to face three tanks at the same time!
"Yes!" The pilot answered, and the two helicopters descended to a suitable position with a tactical maneuver and lowered the reserves of the two squads.
Almost at the same time, two Beijing jeeps also drove up...... Together with the reserves, they will launch an attack on the two T54s of the Vietnamese army......
I don't need to command it then...... The fighters have already done this kind of coordination many times in their usual training, so they already know it!
The first is to get in touch with friendly forces as quickly as possible and form a whole...... For example, one of the T54s attempted to pass between two residence halls. At this time, our army had to face this tank in these aspects: Chen Yiyi, who was responsible for garrisoning Building A, and Chen Qiaoqiao, who was responsible for garrisoning Building B. Xu Guochun, who was in charge of commanding a Beijing jeep, and Shen Guoxin, the leader of the infantry squad responsible for covering the Beijing jeep, ......
Their commander-in-chief is Li Zuolong...... He used the walkie-talkie to form these four troops into a whole at the first time, forming a force that was enough to launch an attack on T54!
"Fire cover!" With Li Zuolong's order, buildings A and B of the dormitory fired pieces of bullets and rockets in the direction of the tank.
You must know that the AK74 in our hands is much stronger than the Ak47 in the hands of the Vietnamese army in terms of range and accuracy, and these two dormitory buildings constitute crossfire against the tanks...... As a result, this firepower instantly beat the Vietnamese infantry who were on cover duty after T54 screamed miserably.
Our purpose is obvious...... It is to separate the tanks of the Vietnamese army from the infantry...... This is the only way to better fight tanks!
Although the Vietnamese army knew the purpose of our army, it was helpless...... Our army has a geographical and equipment advantage, which means that we can defeat the Vietnamese army, but the Vietnamese army cannot defeat us......
At this time, the Vietnamese army had only two choices...... Either let the tanks stop, or let the tanks move forward while the infantry catch their breath before catching up...... At this time, the infantry had only one result if they wanted to force it to follow, and that was to die by drinking bullets!
I believe that the Vietnamese army will choose the latter...... Because they knew that they were running out of time, and their communication with the office building made it clear to them that the buildings on the ground of the office building had completely fallen into the hands of our army, and that their movements were slower...... If the underground structure is also broken by our army...... Then they're all over!
Sure enough, it was just as I thought...... The Vietnamese tanks did not stop at all and still "rumbled" towards our defense line...... One of the tanks opened the hatch and popped up a little...... I don't know if Lu Dao wanted to observe the battle situation or something, but he was quickly retracted by a bullet from our sniper.
At this time, several more rockets were fired from the positions of our troops...... This is the rocket launcher from the upper floor of our military dormitory...... Of course, the distance between the Vietnamese tanks and our defense line was more than 300 meters...... At this distance, it is almost impossible for a bazooka to hit the target!
These bazookas are just putting some pressure on the Vietnamese army to let him know that we have the equipment to destroy it...... More importantly, it is to make the Vietnamese tankers mistakenly think that our main weapon against it is the bazooka!
The Vietnamese tanks were fooled...... It first came to a slow stop (the T54, like in our army 59, had to stop in order to effectively aim at the target), and then adjusted the angle of the barrel in the direction of the rocket launcher above the building...... Then there was a "boom", and a shot hit the suspicious part of the dormitory building.
Of course, this idea of the Vietnamese tankers was correct...... On the one hand, they have no infantry cover, so they have to protect themselves.
On the other hand, they also knew that the enemy had bazookas...... In order to pass this path safely, these threats must be eliminated, if not completely...... At least some of them have to be destroyed, so that they can more or less reduce the chance of being destroyed! At the same time, it also gives the infantry time to keep up.
But what they didn't expect was...... That's exactly what we want them to do......
The tank needed time to reload just after firing a shell, and the tank was still stationary, and because the tank was still full of smoke just after firing a shot, the tanker hiding inside could not see what was happening outside......
I can see it clearly...... The Beijing Jeep took advantage of this time to drive up, it was originally hiding behind the dormitory building, it was already waiting with a fire, and as soon as it heard the order to attack, it immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed up...... Although the defense of the Beijing Jeep is poor, the speed is quite fast...... In addition, it is a prepared acceleration again, so it is less than a minute to get close to the tank, and it is less than two hundred meters away!
At the same time, the reserves rushed forward...... Their task is to cooperate with the troops in the dormitory buildings on both sides to provide fire cover for the Beijing Jeep...... The defense of the Beijing jeep is too poor, and once it is locked by enemy fire, it will be difficult to escape.
So at this moment, there was a lot of gunfire on our army's side, automatic rifles, light machine guns, and heavy machine guns were all "banging" down, and only the Vietnamese infantry could not raise their heads at all, let alone the Beijing jeep aimed at our army......
At this time, several soldiers on the Beijing jeep were also busy...... Each Peking Jeep is operated by four soldiers, and because it has a 105 mm barrel in the middle, it can only be operated by four people.
The distribution of these four people is like this...... On the left in front is the driver, who is responsible for driving; The front right is the commander, who is responsible for commanding the Beijing Jeep, and his task is to contact the superior and direct the vehicle to complete the task according to the orders of the superior, and if necessary, he can also use the automatic rifle in his hand to provide cover for the Beijing Jeep. The two on the left and right in the back are the gunners...... One is responsible for loading, and the other is responsible for aiming and firing.
The commander of this car was Xu Guochun, and he did not wait for his order...... It can almost be said that before the car could be stopped, the two gunners jumped out of the car one after another, and as soon as the jeep stopped, the two gunners cooperated to complete the loading and aiming actions in the shortest possible time......
These skills are a must...... Because they all know that Beijing Jeep's defense is not good, it relies on speed, so ...... As long as their movements are a little slower, it often means the death of their whole vehicle crew! (To be continued......)
