Chapter 25: Exploring the Hole (4)

Our army's "exploration of holes" against the Vietnamese army began only after more than 10 days.

The rain was a little lighter that day, and the sky was a little brighter, so visibility increased.

Company Commander Luo took a few people to the hilltop position and observed the enemy position with a telescope for a while, then retracted his head and said, "See? So many days...... The more devils have also built a few tunnels! ”

"Company commander!" Liang Lianbing said with some disapproval: "They built theirs, and we will guard ours...... Anyway, they can't beat it, so why do you care so much? ”

"Yes, company commander!" The reader said: "If the devils want to build it, let them build it!" They have to go all the way to move wood, when will it be built well? ”

"You can't say that!" Company Commander Luo objected: "The reason why we have been able to maintain an advantage on this 581 Heights is because we have built the tunnel fortifications first, if the more devils also do a good job of the fortifications, then this battle will be more and more difficult!" ”

Although I don't want to admit it, I know that what Company Commander Luo said is the truth.

Because we have complete tunnel fortifications, dozens of us can hide closer to the position on the top of the mountain, and the devils have nothing to do with us.

Do you want to compete with us for a hilltop position? In the case of visibility, we only need to call the artillery to shoot a volley of shells at the top of the hill to easily grab the hilltop position.

Some might say...... Isn't the Yue devil able to snatch back the top of the mountain in the same way?

They can, the problem is that we have tunnels...... When the Vietnamese army fired artillery, we could quickly hide back in the tunnel, and when the Vietnamese army stopped firing artillery, we entered the position through the communication trench...... In addition to the tunnel fortifications, we also have the necessary anticline fortifications. These fortifications were fanned out against the hilltop position. So even if the hilltop position was grabbed by the Vietnamese army. It will also be suppressed by the dual fire of our infantry and artillery.

And what about the Vietnamese army? Because they did not have many fortifications on the inclined plane, it was difficult for their troops to move up quickly, and they could not avoid the bombardment of our mortars when they moved, so they had to give up after one or two attempts.

It is precisely because of these reasons that whenever the visibility is strong, this hilltop position will naturally fall into our hands during the day. Even since our army began to lurk, it was we who had the upper hand at night.

But...... This may have changed if the Vietnamese had built complete fortifications on the inclined plane. Artillery, fortifications...... We have more devils. Moreover, the Vietnamese army is more able to endure hardships than us, and has more advanced weapons and equipment with more advanced military quality, so why should they be pressed and beaten by us?

"Company commander......" The reader thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ...... Let's shoot cold......"

"Cold shots?" I'll admit I'm a short-sighted person who doesn't know what that means.

"That's it...... Hit sniper! The reader explained.

"Oh!" As soon as the reader said this, I understood.

But I quickly raised an objection: "Company commander, although shooting cold guns can make the Vietnamese devils scruple to a certain extent, and it will indeed slow down the construction of the Vietnamese army's fortifications, I don't recommend it!" ”

"Well, tell me your opinion!" Company Commander Luo nodded at me.

"First of all, poor visibility!" I looked at the sky and said, "This ghost place in Vietnam, like today, can be regarded as good weather, and the devils deliberately go out of our sight to work during the day." Those who are in our sight will wait until the evening to do it, and we won't have a chance to shoot cold......"

"Hmm. What else? Company Commander Luo asked again.

"Secondly...... It's not a good day to shoot cold on a rainy day! I continued: "If you shoot a cold gun, you will inevitably lurk, and if you are lurking, the rifle will inevitably get into water, and if it gets into the water, it will affect the range and accuracy, and the bullet will change its direction due to rain on the way to the target...... This will affect the effect of the cold gun! ”

Actually, this is not what I just thought, but my personal experience on the battlefield during this time...... Because of the rain, my shooting accuracy is much worse than before, and sniper rifles are like this, let alone 56 and a half or AK47.

Company Commander Luo nodded and agreed: "The second platoon commander is right, it's okay to shoot cold guns on rainy days, but it's really unrealistic to shoot cold guns, not only can't hit the target, but it will attract a cannon fire because the gunfire exposes the target!" ”

The scholar couldn't help but blush and said, "I have no opinion...... It's because I have too little experience, and I have to learn more from company commanders and platoon commanders in the future! ”

Commander Luo smiled and said, "Comrade Xu Guoliang, don't be embarrassed...... You'll know it's not easy to shoot cold, I guess...... You should have learned from the example of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea! ”

"The company commander is right!" The scholar nodded and said, "My grandfather fought to resist US aggression and aid Korea...... I've also read some of his memoirs, so I'm thinking about it...... The tunnel warfare we are using now is a bit similar to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so can we carry out the cold gun and cold artillery movement, but we can't? ”

"Your idea is haode!" Company Commander Luo said: "But you have made a mistake, that is, tactics should change with the changes in the battlefield environment, and you must not copy them rigidly, but be able to learn and apply them!" Like what...... The Korean battlefield is snowy, easy to hide and there is no line of sight problem, and more importantly, at that time, our army was equipped with Soviet-style weapons Mosin Nagant, although this weapon is a bolt-type slow rate of fire, but the advantage is that the firing range is long, the accuracy is high, and it is suitable for sniping, so there are conditions for the whole army to shoot cold guns...... What about us now? Rainy weather will affect the line of sight and range accuracy...... We're still armed with AK47s...... There are only two people who can shoot cold guns, the second platoon commander and the third platoon leader, do you want them to shoot cold guns on the position all day long? Tired will also exhaust them to death! ”

As soon as Company Commander Luo said this, the reader was even more impressed.

When I was fighting, I was all brutal, thinking only about how to kill a few more enemies or reduce the casualties of our army, and how could I study and analyze the battle as a theory like Company Commander Luo.

"What does the company commander mean ......," Liang Lianbing asked next to him.

Luo Lian Chang said two words with a serious expression: "Feel the hole!" ”

My heart sank...... In fact, I have long guessed that this is what Company Commander Luo meant, but I have always been willing to find out. The reason is simple, because I know that this is not a joke......

"Company commander!" Scar quickly put forward his opinion: "The more devils have been here to touch the hole for a while, and we have learned this set for them, so what if they also arrange it like us?" ”

Scar's words are exactly what I want to say, let's lay mines on the battlefield, won't the more devils be? Wouldn't we be lurking in the night with that Yue devil?

Know that this is a battlefield...... Of course, the haode method is used as soon as it is used, and no one here will sue you for stealing someone else's idea.

So this hole is almost synonymous with danger.

"Second Platoon Commander......" Company Commander Luo did not answer Scar's question, but asked me, "What is your opinion?" ”

I looked at Company Commander Luo's face, and I knew that he was actually already familiar with this "touching hole", so I had to sigh and say: "This touching hole is dangerous...... But now is perhaps the most haode time! ”

I'm reluctant to say that, but it's true.

"One of them......" I said, "because the devils have to work at night, so it is certain that they will not bury many mines even if they have them!" ”

"Second, the devil has to work at night, and the sound of construction will guide us to the location of the tunnel!"

"Second Platoon Leader!" Scar interrupted me with a frown, objecting: "We have already attacked the Yue devils once last time, will the Vietnamese army still be defenseless?" ”

"We didn't touch the hole last time!" I said, "Last time we used incendiary bombs for lighting, and then we were caught off guard by the quick fight!" The more devils are indeed on guard, but not to prevent us from touching holes! ”

"That's right!" Company Commander Luo nodded and said, "If I'm a more devil...... In order to prevent another sneak attack by the enemy, I will lurk the next unit near the hilltop position, just waiting for us to throw a volley of grenades and charge again when we repeat our old tricks......"

"So we just need to go around the hilltop position!" I said, "Bypassing from the flanks, although it is a little farther away, will render the enemy's ambush useless." Not to mention...... I think it's always been the more devils who are touching the hole, and we haven't touched it once, so I think most of the devils will think that we don't have the guts to do this, and we will definitely neglect to take precautions! ”

In fact, this is very easy to understand, our army's equipment is not as good as the Vietnamese army, its military quality is not as good as the Vietnamese army, and even the terrain is not as familiar as the Vietnamese army, so according to common sense, we should try to avoid night battles and close combat with the Vietnamese army.

In fact, we've always done that, except for that sneak attack...... So far, we have not launched a single attack on the positions of the Vietnamese troops, and the Vietnamese troops have been attacking our positions and have been beaten back by us again and again.

So on the whole, our army has always been on the defensive, while the Vietnamese army has been on the offensive. It's just that the Vietnamese attack is not good, and the casualties are much greater than ours.

But...... What if we go on an offensive offensive now? Can it even be said that he is attacking the strengths of others with his own shortcomings?

Although this can be said to be a taboo, it is also a kind of "surprise...... Just like Company Commander Luo said, tactics are not immutable, and sometimes it is only by attacking the strengths of the other with their own shortcomings that they can achieve success by "surprise"! (To be continued......)
