The Vietnamese troops on position No. 5 were immediately annihilated by our troops.

This battle of annihilation was fought before dawn, and the battle was personally commanded by Division Commander Liang......

If that's what I mean...... I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to annihilate the Yue Devil's army so quickly and before dawn.

The reason is simple...... The Yue Devils only had a platoon of more than a platoon on the No. 5 position (there was originally a company, and more than half of them were killed or wounded in the process of attacking the No. 5 position).

This is still a tired army with such heavy casualties, and there is basically no big problem for our army's Faka Mountain defense line...... At this time, the offensive of the Vietnamese army has been fully pressed back to the defensive line by our army, and even more than ten T62 tanks that advanced to the front of our army's position have been called back...... If you don't leave, it's too late, the artillery of the Vietnamese army has been completely defeated in the artillery battle, and if you give our artillery a little more time, you are fully capable of blocking those T62s near Phaka Mountain and not moving.

As a result, the Vietnamese army on the No. 5 position was actually a lone army, a lone army with no reinforcements and no ammunition...... The Chinese soldiers who were originally stationed on position No. 5 already ran out of ammunition, and the devils occupied such a position, and there was no source of ammunition replenishment, so of course there would be no ammunition...... Even if there is ammunition, there is not much left.

For such a lone army, we can say that there is nothing to worry about at all, although they stick like a thorn between several positions on Mount Faka...... However, it is precisely because it is inserted like a thorn that there is position No. 3 in the south, the Poludeok Heights and the No. 4 position in the east and west, and the depth of our army in the north, plus the blockade of our artillery...... No matter how much they escape, they can't escape from the palm of our hands.

And now that the battle has been fought, it seems that the sky is about to dawn. Wouldn't it be better to wait until dawn to fight?

On the one hand, at this time, our army had the advantage in all aspects over the Vietnamese army in position No. 5. Position No. 3 condescendingly suppressed position No. 5. On the back there is accurate bombardment by artillery fire from the depth of our troops...... It can be said that as soon as dawn we didn't even have to go up the mountain to wipe out the Vietnamese troops on position No. 5.

More importantly...... The strength of this reinforced platoon of the Vietnamese army is not too much, but it is not too much, but there are 40 or 50 people...... It's nothing for a battle, but we can use it to embarrass the Vietnamese commanders and even demoralize the Vietnamese army.

This is also our common "encirclement and reinforcement" tactic...... Let's gather around these forty or fifty people and don't fight here, or slowly cook them over a warm fire like porridge, and then this warm fire will seem to burn to the hearts of the Vietnamese army commander and even the entire Vietnamese army......

Are they saving or not?

Save! In the absence of artillery superiority, and the Chinese army is prepared, it is almost a death sentence.

Don't save it...... The Vietnamese soldiers will be thinking, the next time they are surrounded on a high ground, will they have to wait for death like this?!

So no matter what choice the Vietnamese army makes. There are only advantages and no disadvantages for our army.

This is also my suggestion to Master Liang...... But this suggestion was quickly vetoed by Master Liang!

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Master Liang interrupted me and said, "I know that what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought about it...... There may still be survivors of our army on position 5, if this drags down any further......"

As soon as I heard Master Liang say this, I had nothing to say...... That's something I didn't think about.

Then I quickly realized...... It seems that all I can think about in my head is how to get the most out of the battlefield...... There is nothing wrong with this, and it should even be said that being a commander on the battlefield is inherently so......

But here's the problem...... As a human being, you should not be like this, because it represents a disregard for life and the annihilation of human nature.

As a result, the command of this final battle was handed over to the commander of the Liang Division...... In fact, it is indeed more appropriate for him to command at this time, because our synthetic battalion is not the protagonist in this battle...... In fact, since last night, our synthetic battalion has not been the protagonist, and the platoon stationed in position 3 is only to defend against artillery and deal with the feints of the Vietnamese devils.

This is even more true now for the annihilation of the remnants of the Vietnamese army on the No. 5 position, most of the combat units such as the No. 4 position, the Pu Lude Heights, and the artillery units are all under the command of the Liang division commander...... Among them, only the fire cover of position No. 3 and the aerial reconnaissance and guidance of our helicopters are units of the composite battalion. Therefore, it is natural that this battle should be commanded by Division Commander Liang.

The main attacking unit is still the Eighth Company...... This was a decision made at the firm request of the commander of the Eighth Company, and the commander of the Liang Division originally planned to change the unit to take on this task. After all, our army has nothing else, and there is no country in the world that can compare with us. In addition, after several hours of fighting last night, these eight companies suffered a lot of casualties when they forcibly passed through the Vietnamese artillery blockade...... So Division Commander Liang wanted to change a new force to go up.

As a result, the eight companies did not agree...... The whole company wrote a bloody letter, and the instructor took it back to the division headquarters overnight to ask for battle, saying that if he didn't take the No. 5 position, he would never come back!

In the end, the division commander Liang had some helplessness, and considering that the combat mission this time was not heavy...... The Yue devils have been surrounded by us and have run out of ammunition and food, so they agreed to the application of the Eighth Company.

From this point of view...... This commander is quite humane, which is completely opposite to my command style...... However, I seem to be similar to Master Liang at the beginning, but I don't know when Lu Dao has become numb to the life and death of the battlefield.

This battle can be said to be fought without suspense...... A few flares lit up the No. 5 position, followed by machine guns and submachine guns from the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, and the No. 5 positions were fired...... Because of the long distance, Pu Liude could only provide fire cover with light and heavy machine guns......

Among them, our artillery did not come in handy at all...... The reason is that Division Commander Liang and others still hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that there are still survivors of our army on the No. 5 position, and even if there are no survivors...... They also did not want to bombard the corpses of those heroes with artillery fire.

However, there is no need to use artillery fire, because the firepower in these directions is sufficient...... Especially position No. 3...... The straight-line distance from the No. 5 position is only a few tens of meters, and if the arm strength is a little stronger, the grenade can be thrown...... In addition, the soldiers of our special agent company are still stationed on position 3, and the accuracy of the AK74 plus the marksmanship of the snipers...... That is, the more you fight, the devil will not dare to take the lead at all.

Then the Eighth Company took advantage of these fires to rush to the top of the mountain...... successfully recaptured the No. 5 position.

At that time, I was watching the battle from a helicopter and commanding to assist the commander of the Liang Division, only to see the soldiers of the 8th Company like hungry wolves breaking into the flock of sheep with rifles with bayonets and killing people on the position...... I even saw that a few Yue devils actually surrendered with guns, but they were still solved by the soldiers of the Eighth Company very simply.

This is a red-eyed army on the battlefield...... At this time, where will they care about discipline or indiscipline.

Later, I learned that there was a reason why the soldiers of the Eighth Company of Lu Dao would fight so hard...... They found out when they rushed to the position...... In order to be able to organize the defense as soon as possible, the Yue devils actually used the corpses of our soldiers who died on the No. 5 position as a cover, and some of them even had not yet lost their breath.

When cleaning the battlefield, I found many heroic and heroic scenes: the hillside in front of the battle was full of corpses. The dead on both sides were entangled together, most of them maintained a posture of hand-to-hand combat, some martyrs bit the shoulders of the Vietnamese army with their teeth, some martyrs maintained a posture of crawling forward, and some scuffled with the Vietnamese army, and did not let go; Some held daggers and plunged into the chests of the other side, while others pulled cluster grenades in the crowd, and the Vietnamese soldiers around them were all mutilated......

When I heard Zhao Jingping describe these scenes to me, I felt ashamed in my heart...... Because just before that, I planned to abandon the corpses of these heroes in order to give the Vietnamese army another blow.

Of course, the hope of Master Liang was dashed...... No one survived on Position 5, but I thought it was worth it...... Although we lost the opportunity to further attack the Vietnamese army, and although the soldiers of the Eighth Company paid more than ten casualties because of this battle, being able to recover the bodies of these heroes can be regarded as an explanation for them.

After this battle, the sky slowly brightened...... As the sun peeked out of the back of the mountain, we saw the blood, corpses, and craters that littered the mountain...... I'm not unfamiliar with this kind of scene, and I've almost become accustomed to it from my previous battlefield experience.

However, this time it was different, on the one hand, because he condescendingly saw the whole from the helicopter, and on the other hand, because he still had in his heart the tragic struggle between those heroes and the Vietnamese army on the No. 4 and No. 5 positions last night...... So when I saw this mountain of corpses, I couldn't help but have a sense of pride......

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, the commander of the division made a phone call and said: "The casualty data has been counted, our army has lost a total of 78 casualties, and 106 casualties ......."

"Oh!" I simply responded.

This casualty figure was indeed within the limits of the superiors, but we were not excited by the excellent completion of the task according to the requirements of the superiors...... Because these are 184 comrades-in-arms!

"The Yue devil has suffered very heavy casualties!" Division Commander Liang continued: "There are more than 500 casualties of the Vietnamese infantry alone, and the highest rank is a captain, and it is preliminarily found that this captain is a battalion commander of the Vietnamese army, called Nguyen Quang Shih......."

I didn't listen carefully to what I said next, I always felt that the deaths and injuries of the Vietnamese army had little to do with us, because no matter how many Vietnamese soldiers died, they could not compensate for the lives of our soldiers. (To be continued......)
