Chapter 194: Three-sided attack
Chapter 194: Three-sided attack
As I envisioned......
Because there were Vietnamese soldiers in front and there was also a battle, the main force of the Vietnamese army was not vigilant at all, and rushed forward along the road in a dense formation.
The walkie-talkie in my ear kept coming the report of the observation post in a low voice: "The number of people has increased to one company, one reinforced company, two companies...... Most of the people behind them were migrant workers carrying ammunition on their backs, and the total number was about 300 people......"
I couldn't help but be startled when I heard this number, although I had prepared in advance, but the number of three hundred people still made me a little unbearable, you must know that our troops in ambush in this area are only more than a hundred people, what if you can't eat a bite but choke?
But now it's useless to think about anything, as the so-called "arrow has to be sent on the string", and now even if you know that you will choke, you have to swallow it in your stomach.
And the Vietnamese army seems to be a little too long. I looked at the stretch of road that we had blocked...... The leader of the team is almost out of our encirclement, and the end of the team has not yet appeared.
Is this going to be the head of the team or the tail of the team?
At the end of the team are mostly migrant workers carrying ammunition on their backs, if they are the team leader...... There is no doubt that I will strike more effectively at the enemy's main force, but the migrant workers with ammunition on their back may scatter and escape, which is undoubtedly a loss in terms of ammunition.
If it is to fight at the end of the team, then add the sharp knives of the Vietnamese army...... I'm afraid that there are too many Vietnamese troops who have released the encirclement, and we can't control them at all.
So after thinking about it, I thought it would be more appropriate to play as the head of the team.
The lesser of two evils, after all, those migrant workers with ammunition on their backs will not have much combat effectiveness. And our ammunition can also be replenished from the sacrificed Vietnamese troops. On the other hand, I have to rush back to support Heights 237. It is not suitable to let the Vietnamese army at the head of the queue go again......
The next second I knew that the third battalion commander had the same idea as me, because he gave the order to start fighting before the head of the team had even stepped out of the encirclement.
The first to sound were directional mines buried at the exit of the ambush circle...... These mines were left to us by the 5th Company of Sappers, and they differ from ordinary mines in that they are detonated under human control.
The reason for the use of such mines...... One reason is that the more devils have sharp soldiers, if they bury ordinary mines, then they will expose our ambush circle. Another reason is the power of the explosion, and each of these mines carries steel balls used to kill infantry...... As soon as it explodes, the steel balls will fly to the surrounding area for more than ten meters......
So the more devils are miserable, I can clearly see that the more devils at the head of the row have fallen in a large area just like this.
But it was just a fire, and the explosion was an order for the other troops to start......
Someone might say. Don't we all have walkie-talkies to communicate with each other, and we want to use the explosion of this directional mine as a signal to start fighting?
In fact, this is related to the coordination between various troops, you must know ...... If the communication is made through walkie-talkies, first of all, not to mention whether the sound of gunfire and explosions will affect the quality of the call, the commanders on the high ground will have to take time to convey the order when they hear it, and this process will inevitably be fast and slow, which will lead to inconsistent start times.
The inconsistency of the start time may not seem a big deal to others, but at most it is only a second or two, isn't it? But on the battlefield, it is crucial, because the momentum is fought at the same time...... may make the Yue devil lose the will to resist at the first time.
It's like playing a scary game, if you're not mentally prepared for it. Suddenly, I was surprised...... This surprise is the most terrifying, but if you divide this sharp surprise into several parts, one by one. Then it doesn't feel like a big deal.
The momentum on the battlefield is also like this, and the Yue devils at this time are also unprepared, and what we want to give them is a thunderous surprise...... So, almost at the same time as the first directional mine exploded, we successively pulled the directional mines buried in the road.
There are seven or eight pieces in total...... I was not involved in mine planting, so I don't know exactly how many there were. The effect of these mines is not only to kill and injure a large number of enemies, but also to blow up the Yue devils with their almost simultaneous explosions...... So even though the Yue devil was well-trained, he was also panicked and chaotic under this sudden blow.
Then came the various weapons in the hands of the warriors......
The quality of the Yue devils was not bad, and they quickly judged from the gunfire around them that they had been surrounded, so they quickly lay on the ground to organize defense.
But all this seems to be in vain...... The firepower of our army is distributed on the three surrounding high grounds, and it can be said that they form crossfire with each other, and they are only more than 100 meters away from the Vietnamese army. So with only a rain of bullets, the Yue devil in the middle suffered heavy casualties.
The weakness of our army is the lack of ammunition, and the most taboo thing in the case of insufficient ammunition is to run out of bullets in the first minute...... This will directly cause the situation to be urgent, but when you want to shoot, you can only wait to die because you have no bullets.
So, as soon as the trumpet sounded...... The soldiers on the heights jumped out of their hideouts with a shout and killed the Vietnamese army.
Lo and behold, the Charger came into play again, bringing the warriors of the various heights into harmony. It's a backward thing, but it's still very convenient to use sometimes.
At this time, I had just come to fire two bullets in a hurry, and I had to load my rifle with a military spur and rush forward with the soldiers...... weishenme wants to rush along? Let's not mention that our position is not very high, and we will soon enter hand-to-hand combat, right? Then it will be difficult for my sniper rifle to play a role, so it is better to wait for a while if I don't rush at this time.
Of course, we're not going to just rush to the end...... The moment we jumped out of hiding, we each had a grenade in our hands with the safety cover opened beforehand...... These are all told to the soldiers in advance, and the steps are even detailed to modularization, that is, before the start of the war, it is decided when to do what to do, what to hear, and what to do.
This tactic may be too rigid for veterans, after all, those veterans who have fought on the battlefield and are well-trained know what they should do, and they will have a good understanding and coordination with their comrades. Therefore, if they modularize their attack, it will limit their combat effectiveness.
But we're not...... Most of our soldiers are new recruits, and even if they do, they are only soldiers who have fought a dozen battles, let alone well-trained. So...... Modularity is very practical for us, because it allows all the fighters to know what they need to do in lockstep.
For example, when you see the leader of the team exploding a directional mine, you will start shooting, when you hear the trumpet, you will charge and prepare a grenade, and when you hear a whistle, you will throw a grenade and lie down......
This seems to be a series of orders, and the soldiers only need to follow these orders, so this largely compensates for the coordination problems caused by the lack of training of the soldiers.
For example, now, as soon as Company Commander Luo blew the whistle, the soldiers invariably set fire to the prepared haode grenade and threw it...... There were more than 40 people in our company, and each of them threw a grenade into the middle of the road...... It only frightened the Vietnamese soldiers who had not yet reacted from the fixed thunder and shouted in panic with bloodless faces......
But it's useless to shout, grenades don't explode because of their shouts...... The next second, a grenade exploded a wall in the middle of the road, a wall of smoke and blood.
"Kill!"
There was no need to say what to do next, the fighters rushed forward with bayonets after shouting from the grenade explosion, and regardless of whether those lying on the ground were dead or alive, they were stabbed with bayonets...... In fact, at this time, we can't tell whether the Vietnamese soldiers are dead or alive, first, it is difficult to tell whether the Vietnamese devils are lying on the ground at this time. The second is because the smoke of the grenade has not yet faded. The third is because ...... This bayonet does not consume ammunition anyway, and a few more stabs will only consume some strength.
As a result, the road soon became a bloody road paved with corpses, and the Vietnamese army suffered a devastating blow from this series of blows by our army almost before they could react quickly, and they did not even have time to surrender......
But then again, we are fighting two companies of the Yue Devil with one company, and the ammunition is not more than that of the Yue Devil, and the quality is not as good as the Yue Devil, if you don't take advantage of the Yue Devil when you fall into the water in one breath, you will kill them...... Once they breathe a sigh of relief, we will only be afraid of being uncomfortable.
Therefore, this battle is fought without taking prisoners, and what is needed is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
The battle was quickly over after ten minutes, and it was only then that I realized that with our forces fully deployed...... It's still very easy to eat the two companies of the Yue Devils, that is, one person kills and injures two enemies, and the Yue Devils are all stretching their necks without the ability to resist and waiting for us to kill, that's not to be captured.
Cheers soon rang out in the ranks, but this was not the time to celebrate the victory......
The commander of the third battalion quickly gave an order: "Second company, replenish ammunition and immediately reinforce the 237 heights, and the eighth company and the ninth company quickly clean up the battlefield!" ”
"Yes!" Company Commander Luo answered, and led the soldiers to pick up a few magazines from the ground and ran towards the 237 heights.
I think the reason why we had to send our company to support the 237 heights was because the commander of the third battalion knew that our company had the strongest combat effectiveness. Good steel is used on the blade, and the 237 heights are related to the retreat of our army, and of course the commander of the third battalion will not be polite to us anymore. (To be continued......)
