Chapter 121: The Battle of Mount Fakka (26)
A few minutes later...... The fierce battle of the No. 4 position once again staged the tragic ...... of the No. 5 position
It's just that the Vietnamese troops who rushed to position No. 4 were not as lucky as the Vietnamese troops at position No. 5, because it was at the moment when the Vietnamese army rushed to position No. 4...... The soldiers of the Seventh Company followed closely and rushed up.
So the battle was disrupted...... For the Vietnamese army, no one knows whether it is the enemy or themselves who is in front of the road, because there are Chinese soldiers in front and Chinese soldiers in the back...... In this darkness you can't tell the difference between friend and foe.
The same is true for our army...... Because it is not only the enemy who is in front, but it is also very likely that there are comrades of their own, that is, they stick to the position and do not retreat two squads downward......
But this will be much better for our army...... Because there are very few of their own people in front, and they believe...... Even if they have their own people, they should be scuffling with the Yue devils at this time, so they only need to pay attention to whether someone is scuffling.
But in fact...... This worry was completely unnecessary, because at the very moment when the Seventh Company rushed to the No. 4 position...... The fighters of both squads on position 4 were dead and wounded, and almost no one could stand.
Later, I learned that only two fighters survived the No. 4 position...... It was a stroke of luck that they were able to survive, one fighter was stunned by a cannonball and fell undetected in his body, and the other survived...... It is to roll down the mountain with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat...... As a result, the Yue Devil died and he just fainted, and when he was found by the soldiers, he was still holding the Yue Devil's neck in a coma.
So there was chaos again on the No. 4 position that I saw from the helicopter......
But now I was able to breathe a sigh of relief...... It's just that Position 5 is lost, and Position 4 doesn't look like much of a problem...... After all, the Yue Devil was already at the end of his crossbow at this time, and he had already suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle. At this time, the seven companies rushed up...... If you can't snatch the position back from the Yue devils. The Seventh Company was also so sorry for the comrades who were holding and sacrificing their positions.
I thought of it with the soldiers of the 7th and 8th companies...... The soldiers of the Seventh and Eighth Companies also had this idea and got into a fight with the Yue devils. Not only did the Seventh Company fight fiercely in close combat with the Yue Devils, but the Eighth Company also spontaneously launched an attack on the No. 5 position without waiting for an order as soon as the Yue Devils occupied the No. 5 position, and the attack was quite simple...... Although he was still blocked by the firepower of the Yue Devil Organization in waves, he never gave up the charge for a moment.
This also made it impossible for the Vietnamese troops in Position 5 to allocate some troops or firepower to reinforce Position 4.
After the war, Battalion Commander Xie also said...... This battle surprised even him, as a battalion commander, he had never known that his subordinates were so capable of fighting, especially after the rule of "soldiers can't be promoted" came down by the superiors.
So...... What does this stipulate whether a soldier can be promoted...... These rules are only effective outside the battlefield, and they are all in full swing on the battlefield at this point...... All the warriors have in their hearts is hatred for the enemy, and they only think about revenge...... Where will it matter what can be lifted or not.
In fact, I think the reason why the seventh and eighth companies have such extraordinary performances...... A large part of the reason is because the comrades stationed on positions 4 and 5 played an exemplary role.
Fighting...... In fact, it is a group effect.
The soldiers on the No. 4 and No. 5 positions were all comrades-in-arms of the 7th and 8th companies...... All in one battalion. Look down and don't look up, and even some of them are fellow villagers.
In this way, the warriors will think in their hearts...... These are people we are familiar with, and they are no different from us...... They can fight devils so resolutely and bravely, so can we still hold back the troops?
So he turned his heart sideways...... Fight!
Sometimes it's that simple on the battlefield.
It was precisely because of this extraordinary performance of the soldiers that the balance of victory quickly tilted on the side of our army......
Although strictly speaking, at this time, positions 4 and 5 were already in the hands of the Vietnamese army, but because the Vietnamese army was not in a hurry to gain a foothold, and even before they had time to familiarize themselves with the terrain, they were attacked by our army...... Especially in the No. 4 position, the Vietnamese army didn't even have time to catch their breath before the Seventh Company followed and rushed to the position.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army was able to organize an effective defense at all, and it can even be said that the Vietnamese army was still in a state of chaos to a certain extent...... A considerable part of the Vietnamese army could not distinguish between friend and foe because they had their backs to our army.
So ten minutes later, the Seventh Company successfully recaptured the No. 4 position......
After our troops recaptured the No. 4 position, the No. 5 position that the Vietnamese army had just occupied turned into a lone army besieged by our troops on the hill.
Of course. The Vietnamese army worked so hard and paid such a big price to grab a position on Phaka Mountain, and naturally they refused to give up.
The Vietnamese army quickly sent in reserves...... It's still two companies. One left and one right flanked our army's No. 4 and No. 5 heights.
This is indeed possible...... At this time, the seventh and eighth companies entered the Falka Mountain...... However, because the area of positions 4 and 5 was too small to accommodate so many people, many fighters had to choose to build a temporary defensive line on the anticline.
Especially position No. 5...... The Vietnamese army occupied the position on the top of the mountain, and there was a new Vietnamese army at the foot of the mountain, so the scene of our army flanking the Vietnamese army just now was repeated.
But the Vietnamese commander soon learned that he had lost the opportunity to retake Phaka Mountain, and that it was lost forever......
Just when the Vietnamese reserves rushed up...... Our artillery group is beginning to wield its might......
This is the after-effect of the Vietnamese army's previous exchange of artillery for an opportunity to attack Phaka Mountain...... Because of the exposure of the Vietnamese artillery group, our army lost mortar fire support in an instant, and at that moment we lost almost the entire battle.
But it is precisely because of the exposure of the Vietnamese artillery group...... Only then did our artillery achieve a complete victory in the artillery battle, and at this time our artillery had already defeated the Vietnamese artillery and regained the initiative in artillery fire...... In addition, there were artillery observers from our helicopters guiding in the air, so a burst of artillery fire passed...... The valley between Phaka Mountain and De Lupao and between Phaka Mountain and Phaka Mountain was immediately blown into a sea of fire, and the Vietnamese army reserves that came to reinforce were ...... Many were blown into the air before they could even take a step on Mount Faka.
As for the Vietnamese troops who were still occupying position No. 5...... In the absence of reinforcements from other troops, it is a situation of waiting for death, the question is only how and when we want him to die. (To be continued......)
