Chapter 185: Not a Victory
From Chen Guohao's point of view, this charge of the Ninth Frontier Division may be right......
Because of Chen Jiahao's relationship, Chen Guohao is very aware of our entire operation, and at the same time, he also knows that in this situation, our sniper unit will fight a beautiful battle nine times out of ten!
So Chen Guohao will think...... Since the sniper unit will fight a winning battle and eliminate a large number of Vietnamese snipers, then Weishenme can't take advantage of the victory to pursue? The Vietnamese army is defenseless, isn't it? And also when a large number of snipers are eliminated and new units cannot be replenished in time...... At this time, it is a good time to launch a counteroffensive to seize the high ground of the Vietnamese army!
It can even be said that Chen Guohao is very thoughtful......
First of all, he used long-range weapons such as machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, and recoilless guns on various heights to suppress the firepower of the Vietnamese army on the opposite heights...... The Vietnamese snipers have been beaten by us, haven't they? Naturally, the Ninth Frontier Division, which was prepared and had superior troops, had the upper hand, so it would not be a problem to suppress the firepower of the Vietnamese army.
Secondly, he also mobilized a considerable amount of artillery fire to suppress the Vietnamese artillery, and at the same time launched intensive bombardment of the Vietnamese army's high grounds, and suppressed the Vietnamese army's firepower with long-range weapons on the hilltop position...... It is not difficult to do this, the artillery of our army has always been stronger than that of the Vietnamese army, and in the direction of the 9th Frontier Division is no exception.
Thirdly, there were still many infantry of the Ninth Frontier Division that were hidden at the foot of the mountain, so they started to fight like this...... At each high ground, three groups of infantry at the same time pressed against the Vietnamese troops stationed on the anti-slope...... One unit on the front and one on the left and right flanks.
In this way, our army will be like destroying the withering and decaying and beating back the Vietnamese army.
But here's the problem...... The place where the Vietnamese garrison is stationed is an anti-slope for us, and a positive slope for the Vietnamese artillery...... To put it simply, these places are the places that the Vietnamese artillery can reach, and the Vietnamese army has occupied them for so long...... Can they not figure out the coordinates of these places?
What's more, the Vietnamese army also knows very well that our army likes to use the tactic of "breaking through head-on and outflanking on both flanks." So can they be defenseless?
What's more...... The high ground of the Vietnamese army on the opposite side was still full of trenches...... These trenches were built for snipers to shoot cold. But in wartime, it can soon be transformed into a bunker for ordinary units of the Vietnamese army...... Therefore, for the Vietnamese army, it is this two inclined planes that can support each other and cover each other. Any unit of our army that rushed into the Vietnamese defense line had to withstand the blows of the Vietnamese troops from two directions...... Therefore, it is not easy to take down the positions of the Vietnamese army.
The war turned out exactly as I thought it was...... Vietnamese artillery fire soon launched an artillery blockade of the valley between the two heights...... This thing is like artillery, it does not mean that our army's artillery fire is more than that of the Vietnamese army, so that the Vietnamese army can not shoot at all.
In fact, because the Vietnamese artillery has a lot of combat experience...... In the past, the artillery of the Vietnamese army was also in a weak position when it fought with the Yankees, so their artillery was very good at fighting. For example, an artillery battalion can be divided into three units or even nine units...... That is, guerrilla warfare is carried out in the form of artillery platoons, which is militarily divided into parts...... They always change places after a few shots, and then change places after a few shots...... This makes it very difficult for our artillery to effectively suppress them.
What's even more powerful...... On the surface, they did this in a disorderly manner, but in fact, these nine artillery platoons that were broken into pieces were bombed in turn according to a certain order and certain coordinates...... That is what was said before, "the form is scattered and the spirit is not scattered".
Like now...... I believe that the artillery that constantly hit every gorge between the high ground of our army was fired by different artillery units of the Vietnamese army at different places and at different times...... These small units of theirs are rationally arranged and shoot accurately. So in the eyes of me and the soldiers, it became a continuous artillery blockade.
As a result, the interspersed troops on both flanks were quickly blocked by Vietnamese artillery fire...... Even if a few small units managed to penetrate it, they would soon be entangled in barbed wire and mines by the Vietnamese army, followed by Vietnamese fire from two directions.
And what about the troops rushing down from the hilltop formation...... They're no better...... The Vietnamese troops stationed on the anticline moved quickly, and as soon as they realized that something was wrong, they retreated and mined along the road...... until retreating halfway down the mountain.
Anyway, this kind of thing is not a difficult thing to do...... If it's usual, it's a bit exquisite.,In order not to be discovered.,It's necessary to do some camouflage or bury something.。 But when there is a war...... You don't need it at all, just activate the mine and put it on the ground...... What if the enemies who rushed down would see it? When the enemy is watching for mines under their feet or trying to avoid the enemy, the speed of the charge and the route of the advance will be limited, and the attention will be distracted, making it much easier to deal with.
Not to mention...... If the enemy rushes through such a minefield completely exposed to the ground in a dense formation...... There is a high probability that those shells will cause a chain explosion of mines in the past and blow up one piece!
As a result, from the moment the Ninth Frontier Division launched a charge, the offensive was blocked one after another, whether it was interspersed with fronts or flanks...... It didn't take long to hear the screams and wails of the soldiers!
"Battalion commander!" At this time, the voice of Company Commander Luo came from the walkie-talkie: "Let's go up!" The casualties of the fighters were too terrible! ”
"Yes, battalion commander!" Hua Bin also shouted: "Let's go up!" Kill those bitches! ”
……
I know what the snipers are thinking...... I used to feel the same way on the battlefield. Seeing the soldiers sacrificed in the hands of the Vietnamese army one by one, that enthusiasm will naturally rush to the brain, wanting to fight the Yue devils...... But I knew it wasn't a good time for the sniper unit to go into battle.
On the one hand, it is because the psychological state of the sniper unit at this time will be more or less affected...... Like I just said. Watching the soldiers die tragically under enemy fire and mines, the snipers also want to fight the enemy desperately...... In such a state of mind, the sniper is a sharpshooter at best...... Because they don't know how to protect themselves, they only know how to kill and hurt the enemy, and they don't even think about whether the enemy is worth it.
On the other hand...... It is because the battlefield at this time has long been a piece of gunsmoke and dust, and even many local enemies and I have been mixed together, in this case, I don't think that the sniper unit can play any role after going up.
So I gritted my teeth and ordered, "All of them!" Stand by ...... No one is allowed to go up! ”
"Battalion commander!"
"Obey orders!" I gaged the fighters with a single word.
It's not that I'm ruthless, it's that I know that tragedy is inevitable, and that the only way to let the sniper team go up is to suffer more heavy losses......
The ensuing battle turned out to be exactly what I thought it would be...... Without a comprehensive analysis of the entire battlefield situation, it was inevitable that we would suffer losses, and our army's offensive was quickly beaten back by the Vietnamese army.
"Divisional Commander!" Afterwards, I called Chen Guohao: "I don't know about the follow-up actions of the Ninth Frontier Division?" ”
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Chen Guohao replied: "Our agreement is that I will not actually interfere with the command of the synthetic battalion, the same ...... I also don't think you can interfere with my command of the Ninth Frontier Division either! ”
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this...... That's true, even from the position...... What a division commander does not need to be known to the battalion commander at all. But why do I feel so flustered...... What could have been said to be a big victory has now turned into a defeat!
But...... I think the Chen family father and son are also depressed, they could have boasted of this battle as an unprecedented victory, but now they have lost the capital to boast.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Chen Guohao continued: "You fought a good battle today, I hope you can make persistent efforts and continue to carry forward this spirit of heroic fighting until you completely defeat the Yue devils!" ”
"Yes!" I answered, but I knew in my heart that Chen Guohao was already regretting it at this time, and he was probably thinking about it at this time...... If I knew it, I wouldn't have opened my appetite so much, and it seems that we will have to rely on the synthetic camp to get back some face for us in the future.
"Battalion commander, what are we going to do next?" Zhao Jingping asked beside him.
"What if not!" I looked at the map and said, "It's to treat others the way they do!" ”
"What does the battalion commander mean ......" Zhao Jingping said: "Is it to use the more devils to deal with the more devils?" ”
"That's right!" I nodded: "After this battle, the sniper unit of the Vietnamese army has been greatly damaged, and I think they no longer have enough snipers to compete with us, and even if there are, they are only some unofficial snipers!" So...... Can't we use snipers to force the Yue devils back to their positions? ”
In fact, this is obvious, the reason why the Vietnamese army was able to gain the upper hand in the battle for the high ground in the first place was entirely because they had snipers. Then now there has been a big reversal of strength, that is to say, now is the time for our army to press and fight the Vietnamese army.
In other words...... It's just that Chen Guohao doesn't have to be in such a hurry to regain the lost ground, he only needs to wait another week or two...... Or it will be longer, no one can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield, it depends on the patience of the devil or the ability to bear casualties...... But as long as the Vietnamese army does not change its tactics or send reinforcements, then they will inevitably be pressed back to their own slope by our sniper troops.
It's a pity that it was the soldiers who died on the battlefield...... (To be continued......)
