Chapter Ninety-Eight: Half of the Cliff (9)
The sky was getting darker, and while the Yue devils were collecting the corpses and treating the wounded, I convened the cadres for a short meeting.
"Although half cliff is a dangerous place, it is also a dead place!" I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the map.
"Indeed!" Scar nodded: "The main reason is that our army goes deep into the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, and there is such a road before and after this half of the cliff, and it is difficult to fly with wings in two ways!" ”
"Is there a way to break through?" Liang Lianbing asked.
Now that the large forces have been successfully withdrawn, and our goal has been achieved, the next strategic intention naturally turns to the question of how to keep ourselves.
"It's not easy!" Scar shook his head: "The Vietnamese army behind him was transferred from Bangui, although it is a militia unit of the Yue devils, but the number is more than two hundred, and we only have ......"
As he spoke, Scar glanced around and continued: "There are only about two dozen people who have the ability to fight, and there are also wounded, and there is not much ammunition left. More importantly...... The devils occupy the advantageous position, they block the exit of the mountain road, as long as a few machine guns seal us, we can't get out! ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but frown.
If you want to break through, it is naturally to break through to the rear, that is, the method of the Vietnamese militia unit, and in front of you is the Vietnamese army agents and the Vietnamese army with a much larger number, and rushing to that end is undoubtedly looking for death.
But in the rear, as Scar said, a few machine guns could easily seal us off due to the terrain.
"Battalion commander!" At this time, the correspondent reported: "Camp Commander Zheng's call! ”
Battalion Commander Zheng was referring to Zheng Liangqiang of the helicopter battalion, and when I took the phone, I heard him shouting on the other end of the phone: "Battalion commander, the large army has been withdrawn." We're ready. Give the order. How to fight?! ”
"What's going to be done?" I couldn't help but be stunned.
"Let's get on the helicopter camp!" Zheng Liangqiang replied, "We are all ready with ammunition and weapons. Go up and blow up the Yue devils and rescue you! ”
"!" I scolded: "The Yue devil has an anti-aircraft missile in his hand, how can you save us?!" ”
"We're not afraid!" Zheng Liangqiang responded.
"Don't mess with me!" I said, "Wait for the order!" ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The surrounding cadres couldn't help but sigh, it's really not that we don't want to use helicopters, but if we use helicopters, it is very likely that not only will we not be able to rescue us, but we will lose a few helicopters that are still precious to us at this time.
You must know that we have already rescued the large army by helicopter before, and the Vietnamese devils will be on guard no matter how stupid they are, so even if it is the Vietnamese militia behind us. They are afraid that they are also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles or other anti-aircraft equipment.
Perhaps, this is also one of the reasons why the Yue devils are not in such a hurry to attack us now...... You must know that they are surrounded by a synthetic battalion commander, and what they are doing now may be the old routine of "encircling points and sending reinforcements", waiting for our helicopter to come to the rescue!
So, if we do, we're going to lose the battle we've already won.
But now the problem is...... What do we do ourselves?
Is it really just sitting here and waiting to die?!
"Battalion commander, the devil is here!" At this time, the soldier in charge of the guard shouted.
I looked up, and sure enough, I saw that the Yue devil on the other side had already moved.
Almost at the same time, the warrior on the other end was also shouting, "There is a situation here, too!" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but curse secretly, this more devil is really ruthless. The battle has been fought to this point, and it has to be attacked from both sides.
But I have to admit that the more devils do this, they have their own reasons.
First of all, our army is relatively small in number, and only about 20 people in total are capable of fighting until now. There are only more than ten people on each side of the two ends, and this strength is too weak compared to the Yue devils who have tanks.
Secondly, the mountain road we are stationed on is "S" shaped, and the advantage of such a terrain is that there are many dead ends in the Vietnamese attack in one direction. But if the Vietnamese army attacked from two directions...... It is a dead end for the Vietnamese army in this direction, not a dead end for the Vietnamese army in the other direction, and even we will show our backs in front of them.
To put it simply, the Vietnamese army can cooperate with each other to fight, which will weaken our army's geographical advantage in terms of maximum distance, and it can even be said that as long as the Vietnamese army cooperates well, our army will have no geographical advantage at all, on the contrary, the living space will be constantly compressed until there is no way back.
Thinking of this, I immediately ordered Scar: "You take a squad to take charge of the Vietnamese troops behind, try to keep them out of the corner, and at the same time be careful to avoid the fire of the Vietnamese army in the other direction behind you, and don't force it." I'm in charge of taking one class in the other direction! ”
"Yes!" Scar answered and hurried south with his troops.
As soon as I waved, I led a squad of fighters north along the mountain road.
This time, the Vietnamese army's offensive was really different from before, and the first difference was that they fired smoke bombs all the way forward...... Therefore, tactics change with changes in shape and situation, and some methods do not mean that if they are not effective once, they will not be used again.
In the past, the Vietnamese army would not only fail to cover the smoke bombs because of our army's "air-burst" grenades and the narrow mountain roads, but instead made them fall into passivity.
But now, the Vietnamese army is attacking us from both sides, that is to say, their target is not the nearest us, but the back of another Chinese soldier on the opposite side, and with smoke bombs they can safely shoot at our troops in the smoke, while we can only fight indiscriminately outside the smoke because we can't figure out the situation.
Another important point is that the Vietnamese army also transferred a T62 to it this time.
The T62 has many advantages over other tanks in the Vietnamese army, one of which is that it has a more advanced night vision device and fire control system, which allows it to aim better at targets in smoke, but we can't see the target clearly.
Just like now, we can't even tell what type of tank is in the smoke, we don't know if the tank is strapped to sandbags, etc., only that there are rows of machine-gun bullets and shells in the smoke...... Of course, these bullets and shells were not aimed at us, but at the army led by Scar.
The Vietnamese tanks quickly pushed Scar and his party straight in, and the Vietnamese militia to the south took advantage of this opportunity to push the battle line and smoke forward. In the same way, if we wanted to advance, we had to face the fire of the Vietnamese army in the south.
All of a sudden, we fall into passivity, and it is conceivable that if we continue like this, we will soon be forced into the middle with nowhere to go...... The result is needless to say.
Fortunately, I told Scar just now that he didn't come hard, so Scar and the others didn't have any casualties...... In fact, Scar and the others were facing the firepower of the Vietnamese tanks, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't force it.
I immediately judged that the tank of the Vietnamese army was T62.
The reason is very simple, on the one hand, the Vietnamese tanks are very accurate, and the firepower always opens fire when Scar and others go up, and the Vietnamese militia ceases fire when they come up...... Without night vision devices, it would be impossible to know so much in the smoke and in the dark.
On the other hand, the mountain road on Banbi Cliff is very narrow, and I believe that without night vision devices, not a single tank of the Vietnamese army would be able to drive normally in this situation.
The top priority is to get rid of this tank first, otherwise we will not talk about breaking through, and now we will be crushed by it.
But how to solve it? Under the Vietnamese army's two-sided attack, we had no strength to fight back.
Then I quickly thought about ...... It's true that we don't have the power to fight back, but if we wait for the devils to come up and throw themselves into the net, it's different.
Thinking of this, I immediately put my gun on my back and snatched a blaster from one of the soldiers beside me.
"Battalion commander! Let me ......," said the warrior, "you still have to command the battle!" ”
"Give me back!" I replied angrily: "Retreat with the team!" ”
After saying that, he climbed up the cliff and hid behind a protruding rock.
I'm not trying to be a hero, and I don't want to die, but because I know that if this tank is allowed to be arrogant any longer, our defense line will most likely be broken by the Vietnamese army, and none of us will survive at that time. Rather than everyone die together, someone might as well come forward.
The Vietnamese army did not find me hiding on the cliff...... This was not only because of the limited angle of the tanks, but also because the smoke, the darkness and the fact that our troops were being forced to retreat attracted the attention of the Vietnamese army.
So the tank drove forward on its own, and drove straight below me with a group of Vietnamese soldiers.
The first thing I did was to throw a few grenades at the rear of the tank, and those Vietnamese troops who had been marching all the way were going to suddenly throw a few grenades, and they were suddenly blown up and turned unconscious.
Taking advantage of this time, I jumped on the front armor of the tank.
I tried to pull the hatch of the tank, but it locked inside and couldn't be opened, so I gritted my teeth and ignited the blaster, stopped for a few seconds, and then thrust into the track on the side of the tank, and jumped to the other side......
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and a wave of air surged behind me, and I only felt like I had been pushed hard and flew away, and after a few seconds, I fell heavily to the ground, and then my throat was sweet and I spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and my eyes were all black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
It took me a while to wake up, and the first thing I saw was a tank on fire in front of me, and I listened to the cheers of the soldiers.
"Battalion commander, are you alright?" I don't know when Liang Lianbing ran to my side and helped me up.
"It's fine!" I replied, but I couldn't even stand on my feet. (To be continued......)
