Because the battle of Banwang was no secret at this time, I also told Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Luo about the battle of 1510.

Regiment Commander Liu and Battalion Commander Luo both rolled over on the battlefield, and at the same time, they also had some understanding of tactical coordination and the like, so of course they would know where the difficulties and key points of this battle were, so they nodded thoughtfully while listening.

When I finished speaking, Head Liu sighed: "Good guy! I didn't expect you to do something big again after only a few months...... I also said that which army is so powerful, and it can take Banwang with one battalion, but I didn't expect it to be you! ”

"That's it!" Battalion Commander Luo said with a smile: "During this time, we have been discussing the battle in Banwang, and we are all guessing the number of this battalion...... I didn't expect that far away in the sky, close in front of us, it was our own ......"

Speaking of this, Battalion Commander Luo hurriedly closed his mouth and aimed his eyes at Regiment Commander Liu...... The meaning of this is obvious, and it was accidentally mentioned that Captain Liu was angry again.

"That's it!" Regiment Commander Liu smiled: "Anyway, the number of your battalion is still our 118th regiment, and winning the battle will also grow the face of our troops, so I don't care so much!" ”

There was a coax, and everyone around couldn't help laughing.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that Captain Liu is just joking...... In this battle on the battlefield, the most concerned thing should be whether you can gain the upper hand and suppress the enemy, as for the long face...... That's all after coming back alive.

"Commander, this time has been going well!" I asked casually.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I asked such a question, the scene immediately became embarrassed, and the laughter that I had just now became unnatural.

"What's wrong?" I noticed something was wrong and quickly realized that the situation was not as rosy as I had imagined.

Battalion Commander Luo smiled bitterly. said, "I won't hide this from you." It didn't go well! ”

"How so?" I asked, "Didn't the devil let us suppress and beat?" ”

I really can't figure this out. You must know that when I came to Beijing, the situation was still very good, the Vietnamese army's offensive had just been repulsed by our army, the tunnel fortifications on the high ground were not as complete as our army, and the artillery was not as good as our army......

"The situation is a little different!" Regiment Commander Liu said in a heavy tone: "Since you came to Beijing to make a report, the Vietnamese army has begun to change its tactics, from the previous large-scale attacks at and above the battalion and regimental level to the gradual advance of small units on the high grounds...... This kind of offensive seems to be on a small scale. But the pressure on the front line is everywhere, and it is like a mountain pressing on our backs! ”

"Oh!" Listening to Captain Liu's words, I understood a little.

This is also the development trend of the 10-year war between China and Vietnam, first we crossed the border to teach the Vietnamese devils a lesson, and then retreated to the border area to defend...... After being beaten by us, this Yue devil naturally won't be convinced, so he also wants to rush into China or fight a few large-scale battles on the border to gain some face...... But they soon found themselves inferior to the Chinese army in terms of strength and artillery, not to mention that they were still fighting on two fronts...... If you really want to count it, it is still a three-front battle: the first line of Guangxi, the first line of Yunnan, and the first line of Cambodia and Pusai...... For a small country like Vietnam, fighting on three fronts and fighting a large-scale campaign is simply not something they can afford.

Thereupon...... The fighting soon turned into a stalemate on the border.

This is where Vietnam has a big advantage. The reason for this was that the stalemate on the border did not require too many troops, and the Chinese troops were a company on the high ground. Vietnam only needs to arrange a platoon accordingly.

In addition, the Vietnamese army is inherently more able to endure hardships and persevere than the Chinese army...... Many people may disagree with this, but it is. Of course, among them, there are also Vietnamese soldiers who cannot endure hardships, are greedy for life and fear death, and there are some Chinese troops who can endure hardships better than the Vietnamese army...... But this is a special case, and in general...... The Vietnamese army is undoubtedly much stronger than the Chinese army in this respect, and this is determined by the fact that the Vietnamese army has lived in war and hardship for many years, while the Chinese army has grown up in peacetime.

But I soon discovered that there was more to it than that......

"The more devils have invented a new tactic!" After Commander Liu gave each of us a cigarette, he pointed to the map and said to me: "They call this tactic 'layered tunneling' tactic...... As the name suggests, it is to dig the trenches layer by layer, forcing us back step by step......"

"Oh!" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning: "Can't we hold it?" ”

"It's not that you can't hold it!" Battalion Commander Luo explained: "It's hard to grind...... The more devils can dig a trench and bring some food, they can hide in it for a few days and nights, we can't fight it, and we can't drive it away...... So the two sides were in front of the depletion, and at this time the Vietnamese army let the sharpshooters go...... If we come down, he'll shoot him, and he'll shoot again...... When we don't dare to take the lead, the Vietnamese army will dig the trenches forward again......"

I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, this is the combination of snipers and trenches, the two complement each other...... On the one hand, the snipers provide cover for the trench excavation, and on the other hand, as the trench excavation, the Vietnamese sniper has more room to move.

"We've also wanted to fight the more devil sharpshooters a few times!" Battalion Commander Luo spat out a puff of smoke and said, "But our guns ...... It's 56 and a half, and the farthest is only 400 meters, and the sniper rifle can hit a thousand meters, far and accurate, and it has suffered a big loss several times...... So I grinded and grinded...... Soon the hilltop position could not be defended, and the situation soon deteriorated again as soon as the hilltop position could not be held...... The Vietnamese army moved the snipers to the top of the hill, and the soldiers could only shrink into the tunnels day and night and did not dare to come out. It's okay during the day, and the firepower in the depth of the defense can still provide us with some cover, and the Vietnamese army doesn't dare to come up and touch the hole, so it will ...... at night."

"Can't you just take them?" A nameless anger rose in my heart.

"What can be done?" Battalion Commander Luo raised his head with a bitter face: "When the second company was there, we still had a few sniper rifles, and as soon as the second company left, there was nothing, and we tried everything...... Bombardment, machine gun fighting, and even anti-aircraft machine guns have been carried up several times, but zuihou is still useless! ”

I understand what Battalion Commander Luo said...... The main reason is that the sniper rifle is accurate and concealed, and it sneaks back into the trench after a shot to solve a target. Other weapons such as artillery, machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc., are powerful but do not quickly disguise this feature...... So naturally it was impossible to suppress the snipers of the Vietnamese army on the battlefield. This is also the reason why snipers are becoming more and more important to all countries.

But it is a pity that there are no snipers in our country now, let alone sniper rifles...... Therefore, it is very normal to suffer losses on the battlefield.

"And that's all the more devils' offensive is!" Battalion Commander Luo continued: "While the Vietnamese army adopted the tactics of layered excavation on the front line, it also sent Vietnamese agents to raid everywhere, and our army's arsenals, supply depots, headquarters, and supply lines all became the targets of Vietnamese agents, and they were fought later...... Our front-line soldiers guarding the cat's ear hole could not even eat compressed biscuits, and the morale of the entire army was severely damaged! If it weren't for some other troops replacing us...... I don't know how long it will last! ”

"How did you hold that position?" I asked.

Coming down from the battlefield, I knew that if the battle was like this, it would be difficult to hold the position.

"What else can be done?!" Battalion Commander Luo replied: "The more devils fight sniper battles...... We fought a positional battle, and the hilltop position was occupied by the Vietnamese devils for a while, and the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, so they launched a battle to recapture the hilltop position, and then blew up the Vietnamese army's fortifications......"

Listening to me, my heart sank...... Because I know that although Battalion Commander Luo did not say it explicitly, this is a positional battle to snipe against the Vietnamese army...... In fact, it is to fill it with human life.

"Alright, alright...... What are you talking about! Captain Liu threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and said, "We're all back alive, it's rare to get together today...... You should be happy! ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the guard and said, "Xiaolin, let the cooking class get some drinks and food, let's have a drink today!" ”

The food and drinks were quickly prepared, along with the two ...... I had brought with me. This is not to say that Tuan Chang Liu can invite so many people to dinner, but because of the ...... here The base takes into account the difficult conditions of the soldiers on the front line, which is hiding and hiding and fighting with devils, so there is a sum of money to improve the food of the troops, which of course comes in handy at this time.

It was a bustle on the wine table, like Yao Fuchang and other soldiers who originally belonged to our second company but later came back because of injuries, and there were more than a dozen soldiers who heard that we were back, and when they heard that we were back, they all came up for a while, and when they talked about their comrades who died together, they inevitably wiped a handful of bitter tears, but zuihou often turned into a cup of rice wine and stomach...... So within a few strokes, I got a few drunk.

This is the person who goes to war to fight...... All of them were forced out by the battlefield with a mentality of "sprinkling and getting drunk today".

But I couldn't do that, and I had a little bit of a ...... in my heart If the problems on the battlefield are not solved, they will always exist, and although other troops are going up to suffer now, soon our troops will be sent to the battlefield again, and then we will still have to face this tactic of the Vietnamese army......

Perhaps, it's okay for the soldiers not to think about this issue, even Battalion Commander Luo and Regiment Commander Liu don't think about it, but I have to think about it.

Because, I believe, this is the purpose of Commander Zhang's 40th Division to this base for training...... Let me talk to the fighters more and then solve these problems. (To be continued......)
