Chapter 187: Counting is Counting
The Vietnamese army became smarter during the second charge, and they fired smoke bombs at the high ground of our army before us.
Although it is said that the smoke bombs are not suitable for sniper warfare when the smoke disperses, the Vietnamese snipers on our high ground still take advantage of the smoke bombs...... The reason is that the sight of our snipers is closed in front of them, while Vietnamese snipers can calmly observe the movement of our positions on the periphery and attack any targets exposed to smoke.
On the other hand...... When the thick smoke cleared, our snipers could not even detect how many ordinary troops of the Vietnamese army were attacking, and they could not use snipers to stop them...... If you really want to say that blocking is okay, but because of the smoke bombs, the snipers must wait for the Vietnamese troops to get close before they can detect the other side, which is obviously quite unfavorable to our snipers.
But where could I be so stupid...... In this case, they will also use sniper units to defend them...... So I immediately withdrew the snipers to the second line, and after firing a volley of smoke bombs at the enemy's position, I pulled the combat unit to the top of the hill......
In this way, it seems that neither army has an advantage...... Smoke bombs are coming and going, and almost no one can see anyone. But in fact, it is still our army that has the advantage...... The reason is that our military first laid a mine and barbed wire in front of the position, and when there was smoke everywhere, the Vietnamese army wanted to charge in front of this fortification that combined mines and barbed wire.
However, the Vietnamese army also has their own methods...... The fortifications were first bombarded with artillery, and then the way was opened with grenades and detonating cords in the smoke...... But the problem is that the explosion of the Vietnamese grenade and detonating cord revealed their location very much, so our army grenades, submachine guns and something. It's just that wherever there's a sound, we'll throw it indiscriminately......
We don't know how many people were killed in the smoke. Anyway, there are not many people who can rush up at the beginning...... Occasionally, they rushed up and were quickly swept to the ground by the fighters with submachine guns.
Later, when I was fighting the soldiers, I felt that something was wrong...... Why is there more and more devils rushing up. Later, it even reached the point where it posed a threat to my hilltop position.
I was also surprised to hear the reader's report, so I went up with a few guards to check on the situation...... It is said that it depends on the situation, but in fact, it listens to the situation...... It was a white cloud of smoke on the battlefield, and nothing could be seen.
When I heard this, I heard something wrong...... The Vietnamese grenades and detonating cords exploded in the wrong place, and the explosion points were almost in rotation in several places in the same area. So I understood what kind of trick the devil was playing...... They're making a noise, to put it simply...... It is to use the sound of grenades and detonating cords to attract the firepower of our army, so that our soldiers will greet grenades and submachine guns in this direction, while the more devils secretly leap forward from another direction.
I still admire this tactic of the Vietnamese army, because the visibility in this smoke is only a few meters away...... This makes coordination between units difficult. For example, the first squad can't see the second squad, the squad leader can't see the dozen or so soldiers under his command, shouting loudly will expose the target, and he doesn't even know which part of the defense line has been broken through.
However, the Vietnamese army can cooperate with each other in this situation, attracting our firepower on the one hand, and leaping forward on the other...... This should be their long-term training in night warfare, and they are using the tactics of night warfare into the daytime.
What's even more powerful is that the Vietnamese army's tactics are still easy to play the "real and virtual" set...... If we don't be fooled and shoot at that bombing point, the Vietnamese army will send someone to really touch it from this bombing point next time, if we fight like this...... The more devils will avoid it.
However, it is not difficult to solve this problem...... The more devils arrange a few people to attract our attention, then I will also plan it, and also arrange a few people to play with them, where they blow up us, these people will also blow up in the direction where the sound came from. The others were all staring in the other direction with all their eyes on guard...... Greet with submachine guns, machine guns and grenades at the slightest movement......
After a while, I felt that something was wrong...... If the more devils find out that their trick doesn't work, they won't use this method again this time. And this time they were only a tentative attack with a small force...... We want to stop them, so to speak, without any pressure.
With that in mind, I asked the fighters to deliberately reduce some of their firepower...... Zuihou even pretended to be defeated and gave up the hilltop position for a while.
Of course. There is less smoke on the positive slope, and there are snipers lurking in our army...... So the Vietnamese army couldn't take a step beyond Lei Chi at all, and Zuihou was still driven back by our mortars and grenades...... It's just that we will pretend to be a little more difficult in this process, that is, we will pretend that we have not been able to take it down after rushing several times...... Anyway, most of the devils were blocked by smoke and couldn't see, so we were happy to do the show, and Zuihou "finally" took down the position again.
Zhao Jingping and all the staff officers were puzzled by my action......
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping asked: "We obviously have the ability to suppress the Yue devils on the top of the mountain, why do we have to toss like this?" ”
"Yes, battalion commander!" Zhang Zuoliang also said puzzledly: "Although the devils can't take advantage of this kind of fighting, our army has increased a few casualties, and it has also consumed a lot of ammunition...... Isn't it a bit ......?"
"I believe that such casualties and ammunition consumption are worth it!" I said, "Because these can be exchanged for strategic mistakes of the Vietnamese army!" ”
"Strategic mistakes?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be puzzled.
The instructor said impatiently, "I said the battalion commander...... Don't sell it, you see the ...... of the comrades."
"That's what I thought!" I said, "The original words...... The battle between the enemy and us is that the Vietnamese army has a large number of sniper rifles, while our army has only a few sniper rifles or even no sniper rifles, and the snipers are not as regular as the Vietnamese army...... So the Vietnamese army has become accustomed to fighting with superiority in sniping. But now...... Suddenly, the situation was reversed, and the sniper units of the Vietnamese army could be said to be vulnerable under us, so the Vietnamese devils didn't know how to fight us! ”
"Battalion commander!" Hearing this, the reader couldn't help but ask strangely: "Didn't you say that the Yue devils all fought with the Yankees?" How could that ......?"
"The situation of the more devils and Yankees fighting is different!" Scar interrupted the reader's words and said, "At that time, the Vietnamese army was indeed weak in sniping, but it was not so weak. The Yankees are afraid of death, and their lives are worth ...... Snipers basically do not and do not need to have a one-on-one life-and-death duel with Vietnamese snipers, they first bombard with planes, artillery or gasoline bombs, and burn all the grass and trees of the Vietnamese devils...... If there are still a few snipers who don't die, it's a cannonball that greets that position...... So the more devils really haven't fought a sniper battle like the current one! ”
"Oh!" When Scar said this, everyone nodded in agreement, this is indeed the style of the Yankees to fight, they have money!
"So I think ......," I continued, "the more devils are like us now...... Fighting a battle they don't know how! So they're going to try......"
"Oh!" Speaking of this, Zhao Jingping suddenly realized: "What the battalion commander means...... These attacks by the more devils are all attempted attacks? ”
"That's right!" I said, "If they don't think it's working, they'll try a new one until they find the one they want!" But...... If I make them think they've found the ideal tactic......"
"Then they will use this tactic to attack in a big way!" Zhao Jingping followed my words and said: "That's the time for us to give the Yue devil a hard time!" ”
"Oh!" The others suddenly realized, no wonder I had to toss like that on the 581 heights, now it's just to see if the devils will be fooled.
It was obvious that the more devils were fooled, so there was a third charge.
The scene of this charge is not comparable to the previous two times...... As soon as it came up, it was a company, and it was a joint attack launched by nine heights on the entire front at the same time.
It is obvious that the Yue devils are unwilling to let us fight under the high ground, and then they are reluctant to give up the large trenches and large areas of land between the two high grounds, so they want to seize the commanding ground to stabilize their position!
At the beginning of the battle, it was still the same as before, the two sides were shells and smoke bombs, and each other's positions were soon shrouded in smoke......
In this regard, the Vietnamese army's thinking is still quite correct, anyway, the strength of the sniper unit is that it can't catch up with us, so it will simply make the position a cloud of smoke and can't fight a sniper war.
Then the Vietnamese army was better at night battles than our army...... However, being good at night warfare does not mean that you have to fight at night, the fact is that night warfare in this era is more suitable for sneak attacks such as groping holes or capturing prisoners, and is not suitable for large-scale positional warfare, because it is difficult for large forces to coordinate at night, and at the same time, a flare is all exposed to enemy artillery fire and firepower.
On the contrary, it is much better to fight at night with smoke bombs during the day, and it is also hiding in the dark, and the flares have little effect, and at the same time, your own troops can be more cooperative, and more importantly, the smoke still has a certain degree of controllability...... As a result, after a burst of artillery fire and smoke, the troops of the Vietnamese devils rushed towards our position with a burst of shouts of killing.
It's a pity that ...... We have long been prepared for this attack by the Vietnamese army, so the Vietnamese army is destined to suffer heavy casualties under our blow! (To be continued......)
