Chapter 63 Anti-Tank Missiles (2)

"Boom!" The shelling of the Vietnamese tanks soon began, and we saw their Soviet-style and American-style tanks lined up, firing one shell after another at our highland firing points.

It is obvious that the Vietnamese army has written down the positions of our machine guns and grenade launchers through the previous battles, so at this time the Vietnamese tanks can also be regarded as targeted.

It's just luckily...... We had already transferred the grenade launchers and machine guns in advance, and the Vietnamese tanks were a thousand meters away from our positions, so they did not cause much damage to us for the time being.

However, it is clear that this is just a test firing of Vietnamese tanks, once they are waiting for a charge...... Our firepower will have to be exposed to the Vietnamese tankers again, and that's when they can really exert their might.

"Marx!" I yelled at several artillery observers: "Follow me!" ”

"Yes!" Marx answered, but soon thought he had misheard: "What? ”

He still thinks I'm going to ask him to call for artillery support again......

"Didn't you hear me clearly?" I shouted: "All the artillery observers come with me!" ”

"Yes!" This time, Marx was sure that he had heard correctly, but he was afraid that he was still muttering in his heart...... It should be said that the artillery observers should be dispersed and find their own suitable positions to observe the enemy's movements, and only in this way can they be more haode to guide our artillery to bombard the enemy, right? How can anyone like me gather artillery observers in wartime and take them away!

But after thinking about it, Marx still didn't ask anything and followed me.

Outside there was the sound of bombardment from tank guns and bullets from anti-aircraft machine guns...... But we couldn't care about it anymore, and ran all the way along the traffic trench with their cats around the waist to the ammunition depot.

After a while, they ran into the ammunition depot. I flashlight a picture of the piles of wooden boxes. Said: "Quick! Open the box! ”

"Yes!" Marx immediately stepped forward to do so. He asked suspiciously, "Company commander...... What are we looking for? ”

"Less nonsense!" I said, "Just open the box, don't worry about what you know, just look for the ...... you haven't seen before."

"Yes!" When Marx and the others heard this, they didn't say much, and they were each responsible for a bunch of things that went around.

After a while, I heard a soldier shout: "Company commander...... I've never seen this thing before! It's kind of like a recoilless gun......"

When I looked closer, wasn't it the "Dragon" anti-tank missile used by the Yankees? The reason I know about this thing is because it was featured in many Vietnam War TV and movies...... It is said that when the Yankees were at war with Vietnam, Vietnam did not have a few tanks at all, so the US military's anti-tank missiles were useless for a time. The U.S. military only used them as recoilless artillery to attack the positions and fortifications of the Vietnamese devils.

All right...... If there is such a thing, it will come in handy for us.

Then I waved to Marx and the others and said, "That's it, anti-tank missiles, used to fight tanks!" ”

"Guide...... Missile? Marx and others couldn't help but be stunned: "What is it?" Can you hit a tank? ”

So I understood a little bit...... Although our country already had the Dongfeng-4 ballistic missile at this time, such a short-range individual missile was a blank, so that an artillery observer with a high level of education like Marx did not know what a missile was.

"Never mind what it is!" As I spoke, I opened several boxes in the vicinity one after another, and soon found the sight and tracker, and said to Marx and the others: "This is the sight, this is the launcher." Attach the sight to the canister...... You'll be able to aim and shoot! ”

"Where's the shell?" Marx was still a little confused.

"Disposable!" I said, "There is only one missile in one canister, and when you are done, you can put the sight on the other canister and continue firing...... Do you understand? ”

"Oh!" Marx nodded quickly.

Actually, let's be honest...... That's all I know. This is all known after seeing the U.S. military operate like this in the movie of the Vietnam War. If you really let me do it...... Forget it, I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of my subordinates.

In this regard, I believe that Marx, who was born in artillery, has an advantage, after all, they have seen much more equipment than me...... The difference is just a matter of whether you are skilled or not.

Sure enough, Marx quickly found a place and successfully put the launcher and sight together, and then ran out of the cave with a body on his back...... After running outside the cave, he pulled the trigger on the more devil tank group......

With a "chirp", as the launcher spewed out a burst of fire, a missile went straight towards the Vietnamese tank group with a whistling sound, but it was a pity that the missile did not hit the target, but deviated to a few dozen meters above the tank and exploded, only to explode a large area of earth and rocks down.

But even so, the soldiers were overjoyed, at least we now have something to fight the Vietnamese tanks.

"Company commander!" Marx excitedly shouted at me: "This missile can still follow the sight after it is shot, Zuihou raised the sight so it missed......"

"What? Can you still command it? When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

When I heard this, it dawned on me: yes...... Isn't the so-called missile just for guided shooting, otherwise it would be no different from an artillery shell.

Then, as soon as I saw the turn of the Yue Devil's tank gun, I secretly said that something was wrong: the missile that had just been fired made the Yue Devil already know that we had anti-tank missiles, and also knew the location of the big one......

So he shouted, "Quick! Get all the missiles out of the cave! ”

How could the soldiers not know what I meant by this, and without saying a word, the two of them ran out carrying a box...... Several fighters in the trenches outside soon joined Solitaire's team, and in a short time more than a dozen boxes were transported.

During this period, the Vietnamese devil tank artillery also fired in our direction, but because the distance was too far or because it was too impatient, it always missed...... We are not worried about the loss of ammunition in this cave caused by the artillery fire of the Yue Devil, and there is a reason why this cave will be used as an ammunition depot by the Yue Devil.

First of all, because the entrance to the cave is relatively hidden, located in a mountain col, which is difficult to reach by ordinary artillery fire.

The second is because it is made of solid rock, and the mortar hits it as a white spot......

What we're worried about is...... This artillery fire will blow up here, and the falling rocks or collapsed earth will block the hole, which will undoubtedly prevent us from obtaining anti-tank missiles for the time being.

I think this is also the purpose of the artillery fire of the Yue devils.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a piece of rubble and dirt to be blasted down and block the entrance to the cave...... Luckily, we got out of the hole in time and with enough missiles.

But even so, I gave an order to the soldiers of the Liang Company as a reserve: "Dig up the ammunition depot immediately, the sooner the better!" ”

There is no doubt about this, the ammunition depot is in fact the essence of our existence, without it...... Even if we have missiles, we will not be able to stop the attack of the Vietnamese army.

It would have been much easier to get a missile out of it, and Marx and a few artillery observers would each have a sight, and then a few soldiers would carry the launchers and disperse......

Scattering is a must, if you gather in a heap, let the Yue devils concentrate their firepower twice, and it will be served in one pot, isn't it? Moreover, this is also the advantage of the Dragon individual anti-tank missile, even if it is assembled, it will only weigh more than 30 pounds, including 14 pounds for the launch system and 20 pounds for missiles...... A backpack can easily run all over the mountain.

What about tanks? The anti-aircraft machine guns on the tanks are better, and it would be a bit clumsy to use tank guns to hit these people running around.

And at this time...... With my order, the machine guns and grenade launchers that had been fired for the purpose of hiding the firing points were fought together, and the goal was to suppress the fire of the Vietnamese tank group, of course.

If it were just our machine guns firing at the Vietnamese machine guns, then we might not be able to take advantage of anything, after all, the Vietnamese army was hiding behind tanks and shooting, and their weapons were still anti-aircraft machine guns with more fierce firepower. But the problem is that we have grenade launchers...... This thing only "suddenly" hit the tank group for a while, and a large pile of shrapnel exploded in the direction of the Vietnamese tank group, which soon blew up the Vietnamese machine gunners hiding behind them, so our machine gun fire quickly gained the upper hand.

Of course, the grenade launcher at this time could not stay in one place for a long time, and the reason goes without saying...... If you stay in one place for more than a minute, you can easily be targeted by Vietnamese tank guns.

Fortunately, we have already widened the communication trenches for the grenade launchers, so the soldiers of the machine gun platoon always took the two grenade launchers to change places after firing a few shots, and then a few shots and then another place......

The most important thing is that the Vietnamese tanks have now had some scruples...... There is no doubt that they are just worried about our anti-tank missiles. This makes it impossible for them to fire at our troops with confidence...... They had to keep as many shells as possible against anti-tank missiles.

Their fears also turned out to be justified, because under the cover of our army's fire, Marx quickly fired a second missile...... This time the devil was not so lucky, the missile hit a T62 impartially, and then only heard a loud "boom", and the tank turned into a fireball.

This was followed by a cheer from the fighters, which could hit the tanks of the Vietnamese army...... That means we are saved! (To be continued......)
