Armored troops! The focus of the Vietnamese army is on armored forces!

The artillery of the Vietnamese army is more advantageous to fight during the day, and there is no need to say much about this reason...... The Vietnamese artillery does not have as much ammunition reserves and artillery as our army, and the advantage of the Vietnamese artillery is that it has more combat experience and better coordination and reaction capabilities. Therefore, the Vietnamese army will have an advantage during the day, when it is not easy to find the enemy's artillery position, and on the contrary, our army will most likely be in a situation of being passively attacked during the day.

And the armored units of the Vietnamese army were more suitable for night fighting...... The reason is that the T62 tank equipped by the Vietnamese army is more advanced than the 59 tank of our army, especially its fire control system and night vision capabilities.

So how can this problem be solved? The best solution is to split the ...... in the evening This made it possible to conduct artillery battles during the day, and when the actual contact battles began...... It was already night, and that was when the Vietnamese armored forces were in full swing.

How could I not have thought of this...... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curse myself in my heart: all kinds of signs show that the Vietnamese devils will launch a zuihou attack before it gets dark, but I didn't even expect that the Vietnamese army would choose to start the war in the evening!

"Notify the artillery observers immediately!" The roar of the shells made me almost shout: "Let them direct the artillery fire to cover or block the fire of the Vietnamese armored units!" ”

"Battalion commander!" The observer replied with a look of embarrassment: "The artillery observer can't see clearly......"

"What?"

"I can't see clearly!" The observer replied loudly: "The shells kicked up smoke and dust, plus the armored units were right on their backs to the sun...... We can only see a little shadow! It is impossible to tell exactly where they are! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but half-open my mouth and couldn't close it for a long time...... I still underestimated the commander of the Vietnamese army, and this move will directly kill our army!

I think. The Vietnamese commander also knew very well that this 518.6 heights where we were located was the eyes of the artillery...... From here, there is no other vantage point within a radius of 20 kilometers, and the situation in the Banwang area can be seen. So he thought of a trick. Shelling with artillery fire to cut us off from long-range artillery!

In fact, it cannot be said that we are cut off from contact, but that our artillery observers cannot play the role of "artillery eyes".

Long-range artillery ...... It can be said that it is our greatest advantage, and it is also the strongest pillar for the 518.6 highlands to hold on...... In this way, it means that the 518.6 heights are dangerous, and we are in danger!

But I know this is not the time to regret, nor is it the time to panic...... The battlefield is so realistic, everything should be forward, otherwise...... Every second wasted is likely to become another thing you regret.

So I used the fastest situation to briefly analyze the situation in front of me......

First of all, the long-range artillery fire of our army cannot be said to be completely ineffective, on the one hand, it can suppress the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army. On the other hand, as early as when our army had just occupied the 518.6 heights, it measured and divided the dead spots in front of the position and the places where the artillery fire could be obtained. Although this will be a mistake due to the transfer of our artillery positions, the coordinates can still play a role...... The reason is that the artillery in the rear can also use the same observation method to calculate the parameters of the new artillery position and the original one, and then convert it.

Secondly, the destination of the armored forces of the Vietnamese army...... You don't have to think about it to know that it is Tongmian, this is the dead end of our army's artillery fire, once the Vietnamese armored troops are interspersed here, it means that the Vietnamese armored troops do not have to take into account the artillery fire of our army at all. On the other hand...... The performance of the Vietnamese T62 is stronger than that of our army 59 in all aspects, especially the night combat ability, plus our army 59 is still located in the mountain col area...... Although it is safe to be bombarded by Vietnamese artillery, once the pass is blocked by the more advanced tanks of the Vietnamese army. That means that our tank units will be sealed in the col.

There is a principle on the battlefield that the troops that cannot be put into the battlefield in time are equivalent to none. So if that's the case...... Then the tank units of our army are the same as not.

So the tank units of the Vietnamese army can dominate in front of us...... Under the cover of infantry, the Vietnamese army can use the T62's advanced night combat capabilities to knock out the firepower points on the 518.6 heights one after another, and then cover the infantry to flank the 518.6 heights before and after......

So one thing I can be sure of is ...... The tank units of our army must not nest in the mountain cols, they must play a role...... Even now it can be said that the tank forces are the key to the victory or defeat of this battle!

But how can you play the role of 59?

That's when I fell into deep thought...... In order for 59 to be effective, there is only one way to defeat the armored forces of the Vietnamese army...... But is it possible? Although I don't know the situation of the Vietnamese army's armored forces, the Vietnamese army came prepared to fight night battles with armored forces...... So this T62 must be there, of course, there is also a T54 of the same level as 59.

But...... Even if the performance of the Soviet-made T54 is not worse than that of the 59, not to mention the more advanced T62!

So it's not easy to defeat the armored forces of the Vietnamese army! What's more, at this time, I didn't even know how many tanks the Vietnamese armored forces had, and how many T62s there were, but the Vietnamese army knew everything about our tank troops...... How can this battle be fought?!

But I quickly thought about the Soviet-style armored vehicles I saw in warehouses......

In what pattern will the Vietnamese armored forces advance towards our army? Don't think about it...... It is unlikely that the Vietnamese army, already equipped with Soviet-style armored vehicles, will still let the infantry follow the infantry on their stomachs on their stomachs like we do...... With such haode equipment, who would want to lie on the tank and be shot and bombed, besides, the more devils have been conducting mechanized training during this time, so now is the time for them to show their strengths!

So I didn't think much about it, and immediately dialed the phone to Huang Jianfu's tank unit...... Telephone calls like this in the field are very safe, because a wire leads to two ends, and the distance between the two points is short, so there is little chance of being eavesdropped except for the occasional blow up by Vietnamese artillery fire.

"Huang Jianfu!" I shouted into the microphone: "Isn't it hard to drive an armored car?" ”

Huang Jianfu on the other end of the phone took a while to react and replied loudly: "Report to the battalion commander, this kind of wheeled armored car is not difficult to drive at all, it is similar to driving a car...... Today, the auto soldiers are hiding in the warehouse and are playing in circles in the warehouse with this armored car! ”

"That's good!" When I heard this, I hung up the phone immediately, and then raised my head at Zhang Zuoliang and Zhao Jingping and said: "Next, the high ground will be commanded by Zhang Zuoliang, the deputy battalion commander, and our battalion will be divided into two, the first company and the mortar company will continue to hold the high ground, and I will take the second company and the tank unit to fight a decisive battle with the Vietnamese armored troops!" ”

"What? Decisive battle with the armored forces of the Vietnamese army? Hearing this, Zhang Zuoliang and others couldn't help but be surprised.

"Battalion commander!" Ding Chengdong quickly objected: "The performance of our tanks is ...... compared with the Vietnamese tanks."

"I know!" I said, "I'm short on a long story because I'm pressed for time...... You must pay attention to cooperate with our army's offensive, use long-range artillery fire and machine gun fire to block the contact between the Vietnamese infantry and armored units, and at the same time use rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles to attack the Vietnamese tanks in a condescending manner, which is very similar to the Vietnamese T54 in our army's 59, so we must tell the soldiers to pay attention to identification, and ...... No armored vehicles of the Vietnamese army are allowed to fight! Is the mission clear? ”

"Clear!" Zhang Zuoliang and Zhao Jingping replied in unison, but I could see from the performance on their faces that they didn't know what kind of medicine I was selling in this gourd...... In particular, Zuihou even asked them not to fight the armored vehicles of the Vietnamese army...... This thing is thin on the battlefield because of the thin skin and large filling (meaning that the armor is thin, but there are many people inside), so it should be the target of the first attack!

But I didn't have time to explain anything to them at this time, because I knew that the Vietnamese army had little time left for us to prepare...... As soon as the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army stops, it may mean that the armored units of the Vietnamese army are about to be deployed, and at that time, our 518.6 heights will be difficult to save even the gods.

"Send a report to the military headquarters immediately!" I said to the correspondent: "No matter what the cost, ask for artillery fire to suppress the Vietnamese army for five minutes!" ”

"Yes!"

"Second Company Commander!" Immediately after that, I received another call from Scar: "All of you are ready to transfer positions, and the target warehouse at the foot of the mountain is ...... Be careful to bring a bazooka! ”

"Yes!" Scar answered, and quickly relayed the order.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Ding Chengdong rushed up a little unconvinced: "I am a staff officer of the tank regiment, and I have combat experience in commanding tank troops, leading our tank troops to a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army...... This task should be entrusted to me! ”

"Yes! The battalion commander ......" The instructor also persuaded on the side: "This task is too dangerous, and besides, you don't have any experience in commanding tank units......

"Obey orders!" I didn't think about it, so I pushed them back with a word.

Although the instructor is half a level older than me in normal times, I am half a level older than him when it comes to fighting, so no one is silent.

Actually, I had to do it as a last resort...... How could I not know that this is a life of death, and how could I not know that I have no experience in commanding armored forces in combat!

But what the instructors and others don't know is ...... In fact, the key to this battle is not only the confrontation of armored forces, but also the truth will not be clear for a while, and even whether it can be fought well is directly related to the gains and losses of the 518.6 heights and the life and death of our synthetic battalion.

Therefore, this battle can be said to be fought by me personally! (To be continued......)
