Chapter 203: Ammunition Depot
The battle in the direction of Shasai soon began......
Scar's troops consisted of only two platoons, and they were divided into ten armored vehicles...... Each platoon of the agent company has more than forty people, that is, a platoon is about four armored vehicles.
Of course, for the convenience of command and operations...... Each armored car should be based on a squad, otherwise there will be a squad leader on this armored car and his soldiers on that armored car, which will cause a lot of inconvenience. As a result, our special agent company organized each platoon into four squads with more than 10 people in each squad as early as the training, which is somewhat different from the three-three system of other troops, but it is very practical in actual combat.
The same was true for the four platoons I led, each platoon occupied four armored vehicles, and four platoons required sixteen, plus my command vehicles and a few ...... carrying ammunition and ambulance supplies So there were twenty armored vehicles.
The Scar armored vehicles were only half as large as my force, and the road to Shasai from their direction was short and easy to walk, so of course they would reach their destination before we did.
In fact, this is also what we have been jihuahaode since the beginning...... Only if the battle in the direction of Sha Sai starts first, then the Vietnamese army in Nan Xing will be transferred, otherwise there will be no such thing as attacking the east and the west at all.
So I waited in the light of a flashlight looking at the watch on my wrist...... I'm giving Nam Thanh's Vietnamese army a departure time.
Although there are two platoons of the Vietnamese army's wireless interception unit...... But where will their two platoons be the opponents of our army's two special service platoons, not to mention whether they are prepared to fight or not, our army has ten armored vehicles. The Vietnamese army's reconnaissance convoy is just a few side three-wheeled and radar vehicles. If we do, we could kill them.
But the elimination of this force is certainly not our goal. Therefore, Scar will temporarily pretend that his combat effectiveness will be affected in the dark night, so he will shoot far away......
There is no need to think about the rest of the matter, the Vietnamese army will definitely ask for help everywhere...... Where are the nearest reinforcements? It's Shasai and Nanyuki!
When the watch's hands had turned five times, I commanded the microphone, "Detonate!" ”
"Boom! Rumble! Two muffled sounds.
We waited in the dark for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the direction of the Vietnamese army...... This may be a bit bizarre, but the explosion of two rocks in the Vietnamese defense line will not alarm the Vietnamese army...... But there is nothing strange about this, because this is the front line, and the people on the front line and the Vietnamese army have long been accustomed to the sound of gunfire and explosions. Especially the sound of explosions...... Usually, when there is nothing to do, a few shells will fly in and explode nearby, and anyone who has a way to find the source of these explosions! In addition, at this time, the Shasai side was divided again, so it was easy to ignore these two ordinary explosions.
This was a bargain for us, and as soon as I gave the order, the armored car moved forward again......
At this time, the smoke of the canyon had not yet cleared, and in the faint light of the flashlight, we could see that it was already full of rubble...... This may be difficult if you let the car go, but this is trivial for armored vehicles...... With a little more horsepower, it went up with a "boom".
"Battalion commander!" Li Zuolong reported: "Do you want to leave some people to clean up the rubble?" ”
I understand what Li Zuolong means...... This is also our retreat, and if there is gravel in the way, it may not be convenient for us to retreat......
"Don't clean up!" I said, "You can pile it up a little bit higher depending on the situation......
"Heap high?" Hearing this, Li Zuolong couldn't help but be puzzled.
"Pile it just right!" I said: "The armored car can pass, but the side tricycle and the car can't, and hold it...... Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" Li Zuolong suddenly responded.
Twenty armored vehicles drove all the way forward, but it took only a few minutes to reach Nanxing...... Before entering Nanxing, we deliberately drove for a while, turned around and turned on the headlights and drove towards Nanxing...... This would make the Vietnamese troops in Nam Hung mistakenly believe that we were coming from the direction of Vietnam and not from the Sino-Vietnamese border.
When you see the checkpoint at the entrance of Nanyuki Village from afar...... I popped out of the armored car and shouted in Vietnamese: "Clear...... We are the reinforcements of Shasai. Go to the ammunition depot to replenish the ammunition...... Hurry up! ”
Several Vietnamese soldiers guarding the checkpoint dared to hesitate when they saw my frame, and immediately hurriedly raised the crossbar in the middle of the road.
When I entered Nanyuki, I made a special observation of this village...... It was exactly as we expected. Due to the village's special location as an ammunition depot, many of the dwellings have been converted into fireworks, especially the road that runs through the village to the ammunition depot...... Both sides were lined with machine-gun emplacements made of sandbags, and even bunkers were made of reinforced concrete......
It can well be imagined...... If we want to storm this Nan Xing, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort, and we may even be dragged here by it and unable to move.
But now the threat is gone......
One more thing I noticed in this...... That is, there are many new tire marks of the car on the muddy ground...... Needless to say, of course, Nan Xing went to reinforce Shasai's troops, and it seems that there are still three or four cars...... It is quite possible that even the garrison in the ammunition depot has been transferred.
This was a surprise to me...... Because the military value of the ammunition depot should be more important than the listening force, after all, the Vietnamese troops in the vicinity are supplied from this ammunition depot...... What about the soldiers who did not hesitate to empty the ammunition depot for the listening troops?
Later I learned that it was entirely justified that the Vietnamese army would be so nervous...... One of the targets we inadvertently attacked, one of the secondary targets that we used to make a noise, was actually the main target!
It is the interception unit that is the real main target...... Therefore, the Vietnamese army of Nan Thanh was not surprised to see that our mechanized army of twenty armored vehicles was going to reinforce Sha Sai.
After passing through Nanxing Village, I drove forward for more than a minute, and I came across a wall and a gate...... There must be an ammunition depot here, as it is rare to see such a large door in this part of Vietnam...... Will make the door so big in fact, in fact, to facilitate the entry and exit of cars loaded with ammunition!
"Open the door!" I shouted in Vietnamese, "We're here to restock our ......."
"Which unit are you from?" The Vietnamese troops guarding the ammunition depot were much more cautious than the Vietnamese troops in Nam Hung.
"We belong to the Thirteenth Division!" I said, "Reinforcements from above!" ”
This is the intelligence work we did before...... The 13th Division of the Vietnamese Army is indeed not far from here, and it is also being trained in mechanization with the help of the Soviet Union.
But what I didn't expect was ...... The Vietnamese army did not let it go, but shouted: "Password!" ”
I can't hide it anymore...... The Vietnamese army's password is changed every day, basically once before it gets dark...... So we simply don't have the time or the conditions to get the password from the captive.
But it doesn't seem to be able to stop us anymore...... I opened my mouth and shouted at the Yue devil: "The password is ...... Beat! ”
The word "type" was shouted out in Chinese...... The soldiers didn't know that this was an order to them, and suddenly the sound of gunfire and explosions rang out......
The first to fire was the anti-aircraft machine gun on top of the armored vehicle...... The Vietnamese army did have some geographical advantages, they built several towers made of wood inside the wall, this tower is very simple, just use wood to nail it up, nail it up, and then pile a few sandbags on top of it and put a machine gun on it...... A simple and practical machine-gun emplacement was built.
Towers like this were very common in the Vietnamese military, as they are now...... Along the line of the wall, there were seven or eight towers, high and low, capable of controlling our position with fire.
If this were in normal times...... It's a bit of a hassle to deal with these towers, because they're all high and small, and there's sandbags to cover them up...... No submachine guns or machine guns pose any threat to it. It could be a bazooka or a recoilless gun...... However, the accuracy of these things is not high, and they are condescendingly suppressed by the Vietnamese army's firepower, which makes it very unlikely that they can be destroyed in a short time.
But that's no longer the case...... The reason is that our armored vehicles are armed with anti-aircraft machine guns...... You must know that this Soviet-style BTR armored car is armed with a 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun...... This thing can penetrate even the armor of a light tank, let alone the planks and sandbags of the tower.
So accompanied by the screams of the Vietnamese army, twenty anti-aircraft machine guns were so "...... and booming" for a while,...... Every two or three dominate a tower, and the bottom two halves beat those towers to shreds. Some of the towers were even interrupted in the middle by anti-aircraft machine guns...... The entire top of the tower fell from a great height, and it became a pile of bloody shards.
At the same time, several more bazooka shooters emerged from the side doors of the armor...... Pull the trigger without aiming at the door and wall in front of you......
"Chirp ......" With a sharp whistling sound, the rocket went straight to the door wall with a tail flame......
The accuracy of the rockets is indeed not good enough, but the targets such as the door wall are too big, and we are only a dozen meters away from the target...... If this still doesn't hit, then the soldiers of our agent company will go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Then I heard a roar...... The wooden doors and brick walls were all spared, and large holes were opened...... There was a section of the wall that just collapsed.
So the ammunition depot is for our armored forces...... It's an undefended warehouse! (To be continued......)
