Chapter 36 Paragliding

"Are you ready?" I tightened the strap on Scar's body.

This time, I had to let Scar these fighters carry out the mission, there was no way, they were the only ones in the agent company who could skillfully use paragliders. I'm sorry for that, the last time I let them use paragliders to sneak up was at night, and the danger was relatively low, but this time I wanted them to fly into the air in broad daylight...... Although the valley is already full of smoke, the potential danger is still quite high.

"Ready!" Scar seemed to see my concern, and added a sentence at the end: "Don't worry, battalion commander!" I'll bring them all back, including those six platoons from the first battalion! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, and the matter was now ready to be fired, and then I gritted my teeth and ordered, "Go!" ”

"Yes!" As soon as Scar turned around, he shouted to the ready warriors behind him, "Go!" ”

Then, without saying a word, Scar sprinted down the slope with his head, and soon the paraglider was fully breathed under his control, and Scar's heavily armed Scar left the ground.

The rest of the warriors did not hesitate, one by one followed Scar down the inclined plane, and it didn't take long for a square umbrella to float under the main peak and fly straight towards the position of the six platoons.

At this time, I was only worried about two things: one is that the Vietnamese army may pose a threat to the fighters in the air, after all, the smoke bombs cannot cover all places, and in some places, such as in the windy position, the smoke will be blown away quickly, which is undoubtedly fatal to the fighters in the air.

Another concern is that the position indicated by the Vietnamese army will be a trap? What if the Vietnamese commander was smart enough not to indicate the real location of the six platoons, but to lay an ambush ring that they had laid? Of course, this is less likely. Because our army is not a fool. Small units will certainly be sent to make contact with the six platoons before joining up with the six platoons. It is impossible for three companies to rush into the encirclement of the Vietnamese army without a head or a brain.

The Vietnamese army also knew this, so if they wanted to lure three companies of our army, they would usually indicate the real location for us.

However, no one can say for sure what happened on the battlefield, and if the Vietnamese commander saw through our whole plan and instructed a trap, it would mean that Scar and the others would not only not be able to meet the six platoons, but might also fall into the hands of the Vietnamese army as soon as they landed.

My first fears soon became reality......

The first to discover the paraglider was the Vietnamese army ambushed near the main peak, and the task of this part of the Vietnamese army was to monitor the movements of our army, compress the activity space of our army, and if necessary, cooperate with the main force of the Vietnamese army on the other side to launch a charge on our main peak.

Because they were lying in ambush in the jungle near the main peak. These locations are relatively high and windy, and smoke grenades don't do much for these places at all.

So almost as soon as the paraglider took off, we heard the strange screams of the Vietnamese soldiers in the jungle...... They've never seen this kind of play, not even when they faced the Yankees, so it's normal to make such a fuss now.

Perhaps, it was only then that they understood why their main peak had no idea that a group of Chinese soldiers had appeared and completely annihilated the defenders on their main peak.

We also took this into account, so without waiting for the Vietnamese army to shoot at our soldiers who had already flown into the sky, the soldiers on the main peak had already started fighting with my order.

This time the attack was a little different from the previous one, which was to save ammunition and aim as accurately as possible, but this time we actually didn't see the enemy in most cases, and could only judge the enemy's position by some movement below.

In order to be able to cover Scar and others to land along the lĂŹ. At this time, we didn't care about saving ammunition, mortars, rocket launchers and even grenades were all vigorously beckoning down to the location of the Vietnamese army. In an instant, the more the devil lost his voice.

Among them, the sniper rifle also played a great advantage, the main reason is that it is inconvenient for the Vietnamese army to fly in the air at this time. The Vietnamese army is covered with dense leaves and branches above their heads, which will indeed provide them with cover, but at the same time, it will be difficult for their bullets to accurately hit the target after passing through these covers.

This forced the Vietnamese to climb the trees and shoot in the air.

Not to mention, the Vietnamese army's ability to climb trees is really not boastful, they deserve to have lived in the jungle all their lives, I saw them put their guns on their backs, and climbed the treetops with three times and two strokes with their hands and feet.

It's a pity that our snipers have been waiting for them for a long time, so with a crisp gunshot, those Vietnamese soldiers who climbed up the treetops fell down one by one like kites with broken strings.

Among them, some Vietnamese soldiers are smarter, they will choose to climb trees with their backs to the direction of our army, so that there are a lot of branches or even tree trunks between our snipers and the Vietnamese army, and our snipers will be powerless.

Just because our snipers can't play a role doesn't mean we can't deal with them, and a few recoilless guns were mounted and fired into the treetops that the Vietnamese had climbed...... You must know that our army is equipped with a Type 78 recoilless gun, which can hit 2,000 meters when firing grenades, which means that every inch of land from the main peak to the valley is within its range.

Of course, in fact, our army also has a more powerful and long-range recoilless gun, that is, the Type 75 recoilless gun.

IT'S JUST THAT THE TYPE 75 IS A 105MM CALIBER, WHILE THE TYPE 78 IS AN 82MM CALIBER. The larger the caliber means the larger the shell, and the larger the shell, the greater the power and range, and the Type 75 can hit 7 kilometers away when firing a grenade.

However, a big guy like the Type 75 does not seem to be suitable for a battle like our main peak, because it has 21.6 kg of one shell (grenade) and only 5.2 kg of one shell (grenade) of Type 78, that is, with the same transport capacity, one shell with Type 75 can hit four shells with Type 78.

What's more, we are defending rather than attacking, and if we attack the fortification, we may encounter the Vietnamese army's pillboxes that need high-powered recoilless guns, and there will be no such situation as zĂ i for defense, so for us, Type 78 is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, when the recoilless cannon hit those treetops, it was impossible for every shot to be accurate, after all, although something like artillery was powerful, it could not reach the accuracy of a sniper rifle, so it sometimes even hit the treetops of another tree next to it.

But this did not affect the recoilless gun's killing of those Vietnamese soldiers, because the shell only needed to explode nearby to explode a large number of shrapnel, in addition to shrapnel there was also a shock wave, even if it could not kill the Vietnamese soldiers who climbed the tree on the spot, the shock would shake him down.

Obviously, this kind of fire cover was very effective, and I watched with satisfaction through my telescope as Scar and the others flew out of the danger zone. Of course, this is also due in part to the fact that the agents are even exceptional, who are always able to detect and solve dangers in time.

Next, Scar and the others were basically not attacked, and the following parts were basically shrouded in smoke from smoke bombs, and the Vietnamese army did not even realize that there was a platoon of Chinese troops above their heads that had fallen from the sky.

So I watched Scar and his party land at the predetermined position one after another with the paragliders...... This is the advantage of paragliding, as long as it is well controlled, it is able to land as close to the target as possible.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw them land safely.

A few minutes later, I heard Scar's report coming from the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, we've found friendly troops, they are indeed here, but ...... They're in worse shape than we thought! ”

At this time, my hanging heart was only half relaxed, at least this was not a trap of the Vietnamese army, that means that our plan was half successful.

"It doesn't matter what their state is!" I immediately ordered: "Hurry up and break through and bring them to the main peak in the shortest possible time!" Remember, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for you! ”

"Yes!" Scar answered.

In fact, I don't need to say this, he understands that the Vietnamese army should have realized at this time that they have fallen for our plan of "attacking the east and attacking the west", and it will be possible for the Vietnamese army to redeploy after a long time.

Soon several cannon shots rang out in the valley...... These cannons were not blown up by the devils, but by our artillery.

The previous six platoons were simply unable to coordinate with the artillery in the rear because they had lost contact with our troops, but now it is different, Scar and others not only carry some necessary food, ammunition and medicine, but also a radio.

Of course, because of the limited carrying capacity of paragliders, these food, ammunition, etc. are also very limited, but that is enough to restore part of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the first battalion.

Especially the radio station used for communication, with which Scar and the others can direct our artillery fire into the enemy's position. The shells just now were actually test firing, and the Vietnamese army, who had rich combat experience, must have been aware of this, so they also knew very well what was waiting for them next.

The test firing went very smoothly, because after three shells I found that the artillery fire had stopped for a while, which usually means that our artillery has found the correct coordinates.

Sure enough, after a short silence, there was an overwhelming whistling sound of cannonballs in the air, and suddenly there was a loud bang on the inclined plane, and all kinds of artillery shells first bombarded the Vietnamese defensive positions, and then slowly advanced in the direction of the main peak......

This is using artillery shells to clear the way for Scar and others, both to clear the Vietnamese troops who may be hiding in the jungle, and to blow up obstacles such as mines along the way.

is doing "planning things in people, success in the sky", and whether they can succeed now can only depend on Scar's own ability. (To be continued......)
