Chapter 188: Counting the Counts (2)
Then, as before, the Vietnamese army used grenades and detonating cords to clear the way...... Then deliberately use these things to make a little noise, sometimes even with explosives packs or blasters.
Of course, our soldiers will do what they want...... Wherever there is a sound from the devils, our firepower will be fired, and it is also submachine guns and machine guns that sweep at those places, and grenades are smashed!
As a result, there were naturally several gaps in the firepower of our army...... Then the show began, and the Vietnamese army soon rushed up from this gap in large numbers with submachine guns...... They thought it was a gap in our firepower, they thought it was a thin part of our defenses...... But it's not, not at all!
Before the start of the war, we had a few chemical defense units in each high ground, that is, soldiers equipped with flamethrowers...... When the rest of the soldiers were having a good time, they secretly moved to what was considered a gap in firepower...... It is quite dangerous if the anti-chemical warfare troops are deployed in the trenches in peacetime, because the anti-chemical warfare soldiers carry three oil bottles on their backs, which are bulky and conspicuous, and it will be miserable if they are discovered by the enemy, as long as a sniper's bullet or a mortar concentrated fire...... The oil bottle will burst into flames with a "boom", plus this is in the trench again, and the oil will burn for a while...... This is almost a self-abandonment of martial arts to blow up a gap in his position.
As a result, flamethrowers are usually rare to see on the defending side, and are mostly used by the attacking side to spray enemy trenches or against enemies in caves...... Needless to say, it is powerful against enemies in caves, not only in terms of fire and temperature, but also in suffocating enemies by burning out the oxygen in caves. As for attacking the trenches...... Under the cover of your own fire, you can jump into the enemy trenches, pull the trigger, and swing left and right. The stretch of enemy trenches in front of them quickly turned into flames. There was a gap in the defensive line in this unit. Moreover, the continuous burning of the flame will also make this gap last for a while, and the charging troops only need to seize this opportunity to rush into this gap...... It is quite possible to break through the enemy's defenses.
But now I'm using it defensively...... Flamethrowers were also used for defense, but mostly in fortified bunkers, and occasionally sprayed with them to form a wall of fire on the outside of the shot. Use them directly in the trenches like I did...... It is also because there is smoke everywhere on this position, and the devil can't see the situation above.
This time the devil is miserable...... Soon, flames erupted from top to bottom like dragons...... The flamethrower is a one-sided thing, and the chemical defense soldiers will also sway from side to side when spraying, which can make their attack range a fan, so we can't see where the Vietnamese are. But you can hear the screams of the Vietnamese army, and see the smoke rolling in flames......
Of course, the flames do not roll on their own, they roll because these flames are burning on the Vietnamese army, and it is the ignited Vietnamese army that is rolling.
Only then did the Vietnamese army understand that they had been fooled...... The tactics of this smoke grenade that they worked out were not as useful as they thought. However, the Vietnamese army was also very brave and tenacious, and they did not retreat easily, but continued to charge at our positions wave after wave......
But they didn't know that the flamethrower was much more than that...... Although the smoke will block our vision, the flame will shine in the smoke, so the smoke in front of us will become the kind of light that is white and red...... This invisibly gave us an indication of the target, where the Vietnamese troops were charging at our positions. The light of the fire will flicker and dim in the smoke......
So the fighters naturally did not be polite to them, and according to the figure, there were bullets and grenades. Easily repelled their charge again and again. Zuihou after our troops fired another batch of incendiary bombs with mortars and set a fire in front of the position...... The Vietnamese army finally reluctantly retreated.
So, the way to deal with smoke bombs is actually fire...... It sounds a little weird, because fire and smoke don't sound compatible, and on the contrary, fire produces smoke, but sometimes things are just that weird, and in a certain situation they are mutually exclusive.
It's not just our synthetic battalion that is happy about the victory in this battle...... In fact, Chen Guohao was even happier, because before fighting this battle, I told Chen Guohao in advance that the Vietnamese army was likely to be tricked and how to deal with it, so in this battle, the entire nine heights guarded by the Ninth Frontier Division were fought in a good way, and the Vietnamese army was beaten down fiercely.
I have to admit it...... I did hesitate to tell Chen Guohao this information, but think about it carefully...... If this is not told to him, Chen Guohao himself has no losses, only the soldiers of the Ninth Frontier Division have suffered losses, and more importantly, ...... Our nine highlands are connected into a defensive line, and if Chen Guohao is not told, the other highlands will not be able to hold the 581 highlands captured by the Vietnamese army.
So after thinking about it again, I finally decided to tell Chen Guohao all this.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Chen Guohao called me after the war: "This battle was fought beautifully, and the devils are simply vulnerable under the sincere cooperation of our Ninth Frontier Division and the Synthetic Battalion!" I hope that we will continue to cooperate in this way, crack down on the arrogance of the Vietnamese devils, and teach them a lesson! ”
Chen Guohao is really right...... Because this is how the war developed after that, the Vietnamese devil sniper troops could not compare with us, and the attempt of the combat troops to occupy the commanding heights and stabilize their positions was also completely crushed by us, so they were faced with two choices:
One: Remain within the control of our sniper units, but this will undoubtedly come at the cost of death and blood every day. This choice may be possible for our troops, because our army has a large number of troops, but for the Vietnamese army...... They have been at war for decades, and their population is already so out of proportion that they simply can't afford it. So this choice was simply unbearable for the Vietnamese army.
Then there is only the second option...... Fall back!
It's certainly a tough choice, but that's how brutal the battlefield is...... If you don't retreat, you will only die. That's all we can do...... If the Vietnamese army does not retreat, we will have to kill them, and only in this way can we force them away!
The Vietnamese retreated after holding out for three days, perhaps to reduce their losses, or because they were afraid of facing the ridicule of our troops...... In fact, the two sides in a hostile state on the battlefield often have a subtle psychology, and when they are indistinguishable and inseparable, they will naturally have a kind of sympathy and mutual respect.
On the other hand, if one side is completely defeated, it is beaten and flees with its tail between its legs...... Naturally, you will be psychologically at a disadvantage, even if you can't hold your head up in front of the enemy. Just like this Vietnamese army in front of us...... Since the fight against our army, they have suffered heavy casualties one after another, and they have been pressed and beaten all the way, so that now they have to retreat secretly!
However, the Vietnamese army was inevitably humiliated by our troops...... Because the next day, when we found that there were no Vietnamese troops between the enemy and our heights, we let out a burst of cheers, and the soldiers on the various heights shouted loudly to the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side.
You don't have to guess what exactly this is shouting:
"The devil of the dog day, there is a kind of three hundred rounds of battle!"
"Aren't you very good at fighting? Why did you run away with your tail between your legs? ”
……
This shout is very happy, especially the soldiers of the Ninth Division over there...... These days, they have had enough of the anger of these Vietnamese troops, and now it can be said that they have turned over and become masters, and they are so high-spirited...... Some people even shouted like this, so they went to the Propaganda Department to get a few small loudspeakers and shouted in the direction of the Vietnamese army!
I thought it was strange at first...... How could this propaganda department be willing to lend this little horn to the soldiers to make such nonsense, and when I asked later, I learned that the propaganda department also had ulterior motives, just like the instructor explained: "The purpose of the propaganda department is to boost the morale of our army and fight the enemy's will, so now that our army has won the battle and the Vietnamese army has been newly defeated, the soldiers shouting like this will just achieve this purpose!" ”
Not to mention, the instructor is really right...... Because many of the Vietnamese devils can also understand Chinese, so the soldiers can really listen to such an arrogant shout, plus the Vietnamese army originally refused to admit defeat or thought that their quality was better than the Chinese army, and they couldn't swallow this breath, so there would be a few Vietnamese soldiers who couldn't hold back and shoot at us......
Then what else is there to say, our sniper unit is lying on the position and ready to be on call at any time, and the more devils come out, they will fight one when they come out, and they will fight a pair when they come out...... Zuihou beat the Yue devil to the point that he had no temper at all.
But I believe that the devil will not just admit defeat...... The reason is very simple: although the sniper units of the Vietnamese army in this local area have been greatly damaged, on the whole the sniper units of the Vietnamese army are much better than our army in terms of quantity, quality, and equipment.
So I have every reason to believe it...... Behind the Vietnamese army's reluctance, a bigger counterattack is brewing! (To be continued......)
