Chapter 190: Raid
Gunshots and explosions soon rang out, in all directions, and it sounded as if we were surrounded by Vietnamese troops.
And what is even more exaggerated is that at this moment, gunfire and artillery rang out in the direction of Laoshan, Songmaoling, and even Dongshan of the Bali River, as if the Vietnamese army on the entire battlefield had been activated.
I know very well why the Vietnamese army has such a statement, in order to keep our entire front in a tense state and unable to receive reinforcements in a short time.
It should be said that the Vietnamese army agents are indeed very shrewd in this move.
Just as they launched an attack on the missile forces first, it was to attract the strength of the special agent company.
From this point of view, they had enough information from the very beginning, that is, they knew the hiding place of our artillery sighting radar early on, so they organized this attack purposefully and planned, and even at this time all the regular Vietnamese troops on the front line were cooperating with the Vietnamese army agents.
In fact, what I don't know is that the Vietnamese army special forces will choose to do this for another purpose, that is, to determine whether the target of their attack is correct.
It may sound strange, but I didn't think of it at the time...... In fact, the Vietnamese army is not sure whether our army's artillery sighting radar is in our base, but only suspects it.
The reason why it is suspicious is that our base looks very ordinary, there are no ammunition depots, no supply depots, and the location is not a military location...... Our military base is set up on a small hill on the side of the road leading to the east mountain of the Bali River, and the specific location is about one kilometer away from the Baishiyan Waterfall.
It is such an ordinary place, but there will be an extraordinary defense of Chinese soldiers, both snipers and armored vehicles. There is also a good infantry company...... Although the Su zhì of the tactical company is not as good as the agent company. But it is still stronger than ordinary troops.
But doubt is doubt. The Vietnamese agents knew they couldn't afford it.
This attrition refers not only to the strength of the Vietnamese agents, but also to their ammunition, knowing that they have infiltrated our territory to fight, and in order to conceal their whereabouts, they cannot use guò to sneak attack the ammunition depot to replenish their ammunition, which means that they are likely to have only one chance to sneak attack.
So they devised a plan to determine if our base was the "culprit".
This plan is that the Vietnamese army will launch an attack on our army on all fronts, and at the same time, Vietnamese army agents will also attack our army bases...... If the location of the Vietnamese agents is correct, that is, this base is indeed the hiding place of the Chinese soldiers' artillery sighting radar, then the Chinese will definitely protect the artillery radar and not use it. As a result, the artillery fire of the Chinese soldiers will not be as good as before.
Otherwise, they have attacked the wrong target, and it is time to retreat.
If I had realized this at the time, I should not have ordered the artillery sight radar to be pushed into the Hidden Artillery Hole, as long as I had forced it to play its role for a little longer, and the Vietnamese agents themselves would have withdrawn.
But as the so-called concern is chaotic, not to mention that I am not an immortal who can calculate everything, the first thing that comes to mind is to put away the artillery radar and organize the defense.
After contacting the front-line artillerymen, the Vietnamese agents quickly realized that they had found the right place, so they immediately launched an unusually fierce offensive against our base.
One of the Vietnamese agents who attacked our base had a company. After the war, I knew that this was the Vietnamese army, and the number was special 52200 company.
The war history of this company is a bit scary to say, at the time of the American-Vietnamese War. It was this agent who attacked the US Army Ship No. 833. The results of the Vietnamese army's special agent company in this battle were: blowing up the No. 833 machine repair ship, blowing up 10 other boats, and damaging 10 other boats; It annihilated 350 officers and technicians from the United States, New Zealand, Australia and other countries, destroyed 6 105 guns, 3 81 mortars, 3 37 antiaircraft guns, 12 anti-aircraft machine guns, 2 helicopters and a large amount of military materials. None of the Vietnamese agents involved in the attack were casualties.
This shows the combat effectiveness of this Vietnamese army agent.
But even so, this Vietnamese army agent was not able to penetrate our defense line before the war...... This is also the reason why the Vietnamese army knows that our infantry company is not weak.
It's also a blessing for us, the direct unit I use to protect the gunnery radar is a tactical company and not a special agent company.
Indeed, the combat effectiveness of the special agent company is not comparable to that of the tactical company.
But they are veterans, battle-hardened veterans.
The problem with veterans is ...... They've fought battles and seen big scenes.
Regardless of whether the veterans admit it or not, these veterans who have gone deep into Vietnam, Afghanistan, and even Falklands have been to the Falklands several times before the Ghost Gate Pass, if they are given the task of protecting the artillery sighting radar, they will not be able to excite them at all, even if they know the importance of the artillery sighting radar.
But it's different for the recruits to do it, this tactical company is a cadet who has never been to the battlefield a few times, and now let them go to the front line to protect this kind of thing that can affect the outcome of the whole battle...... That excitement, even if I went to the front line, I didn't encounter an enemy, but as soon as I heard the gunfire and artillery on the front line, my blood boiled, and I wished that I could go to the battlefield and fight the enemy.
Of course, this is just a good wish. They knew that their task was also very important, so they meticulously changed their positions every day, reasonably arranged open and secret posts, and blocked their positions with mines every night, so that the 52,200 companies of the Vietnamese army could not penetrate their inner defenses.
On the contrary, a few snipers who are veterans have been negligent because they have been without enemy information for too long, and two of them will meticulously change sniper positions and sneak in secret, but slowly develop into two or three days before changing sniper positions...... But this is not to blame them, on the one hand, our base is usually too safe, this is like boiling a frog in warm water, boiling and boiling it will be fatal unconsciously. Second, let's be honest, those of us who are leaders also have responsibilities, and if we had tightened our supervision over the defense, this would not have happened.
In fact, this is also because the tasks assigned to our synthetic battalion are too many and too complicated, which makes our tasks unclear and distracts us.
However, this is the case when you are a soldier, and now that the matter has come to this point, it is not the time to look for responsibility, but to think about how to block the attack of the Vietnamese army agents and protect the artillery sighting radar.
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping reported: "The enemy situation has been discovered on the east, west, and north sides, and the sniper teams on the east and west sides have been unable to contact, and the armored vehicles deployed on the east and west sides have also been destroyed by the Vietnamese army at the first time!" ”
"Hmm!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth with hatred.
Obviously, the snipers on the east and west sides were silently touched by Vietnamese agents, and then they found the location of the armored vehicle, and when they saw that the situation was not right...... At this time, it should be me who ordered the agent company to reinforce the base instead of reinforcing the missile troops. Obviously, this made the Vietnamese agents realize that I was not fooled, and they wanted to settle the battle as soon as possible before reinforcements from the agent company arrived.
They used bazookas to destroy armored vehicles that could provide defense and powerful firepower to the infantry in the first place...... As mentioned before, most of the weapons carried by Vietnamese agents are light weapons, and armored vehicles pose a great threat to them.
From this point of view, the direction of their main attack is the east and west, the north is mainly to contain it, and as for the south, this direction is the direction of Vietnam, and they may not be worried about our retreat from this direction. It can even be said that it is very likely that the Vietnamese army has already aimed long-range artillery fire at the south of our army, and it is possible to arrange an ambush, and if our army retreats from the south in a panic, it will be in line with the will of the Vietnamese agents.
It turned out that I was right, because the Vietnamese army saw that we had no intention of retreating south, so a volley of shells soon came from the south.
Of course, these shells could only hit the front of our positions...... That's why we're based here, most of the shells will be blocked by the high ground a kilometer away.
But after a burst of artillery fire, especially with smoke grenades mixed in with these shells, the south side was soon shrouded in smoke.
"You guys come with me!" I waved to a few of my guards, grabbed my sniper rifle and ran south.
It was clear that the Vietnamese army wanted to fish in the muddy waters in the south.
Although I also have confidence in the combat effectiveness of the tactical company, what they lack is experience. In other words, if they are fighting a regular war, they will have no problem at all in terms of coordination, and it can even be said with certainty that they will be stronger than the Vietnamese army.
But fighting this kind of special operation is obviously not the strong point of a tactical company.
At this time, it may be time to send reserves to the south, but I don't think the attack of the Vietnamese agents will be so simple, and if the reserves are sent lightly, then it will easily cause an internal void and give the Vietnamese agents a chance.
Moreover, it is time for me, the battalion commander, to go to the battlefield and see the situation.
First of all, in this battle, there is no longer a rear of practical significance, our army base is surrounded by Vietnamese troops, and everywhere in the base is a line. Therefore, there is no question of whether a commander is suitable for the front line.
Secondly, I, as a commander, am better at grasping the details of the enemy and judging the intentions of the Vietnamese army from the details, which has been proven time and again in previous battles. And to observe the details of the Vietnamese army, it is necessary to go to the front line.
Thirdly, the core of the so-called battalion headquarters is not an office or an air-raid shelter, but a radio station on the back of the correspondent around me, and the headquarters will follow wherever it goes, so that I can give orders anytime and anywhere. (To be continued......)
