Chapter 60: Tanks

Although the Vietnamese suffered heavy casualties in their first attack under our superior firepower, they did not stop their offensive because of this.

I believe that the Vietnamese army no longer has any hope of retaking the ammunition depot, after all, everyone knows a little ...... The ammunition depot is difficult to store, but it is very easy to detonate, and now that it has fallen into our hands, the devils want to take it back...... It seems that we only need to detonate the ammunition depot alone in Zuihou.

Then what about the weishenme devils who are still in a hurry to attack the 581 heights?

There is only one reason for this...... Open up the logistics channel of the 5th Infantry Division.

At this time, the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army could almost be said to be in a desperate situation, the ammunition depot fell into our hands, and the passage was also blocked by us...... So predictably, their ammunition will soon be in crisis.

This can be seen from the fact that the Vietnamese army is hitting less and less mortar shells at our positions...... In fact, the first artillery bombardment of the Vietnamese army was still on a large scale, and the subsequent artillery fire basically came from the direction of Vietnam. This is not only because of the shortage of artillery shells of the Vietnamese army, but also because our artillery deliberately attracts the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army to reduce our pressure.

We can even see that the Vietnamese army has sent troops to climb to the position to pick up ammunition......

Modern warfare...... If there is a crisis in ammunition, it is a nightmare for a force, even if the number of this force is much larger than ours.

Therefore, the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army can only attack, otherwise what awaits them is only surrender or destruction.

As time went on, the sky began to brighten.

So the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers in front of our position finally pulled out the clouds and saw the blue sky...... At this time, we realized that more than 100 Vietnamese soldiers were killed in the battle just now, not counting the Vietnamese soldiers who were wounded and fled back.

And then before we could take a closer look at our results. The Vietnamese army soon launched another offensive......

This time they were much more cautious. Maybe it's because there is no cover from fog. Or maybe it's the experience of the last failure...... Instead of charging as desperately as they did last time, they scattered and crawled forward under the cover of corpses, digging foxholes along the way.

This may have a certain effect, and their current tactic, in the words of our Chinese, is "step by step". Obviously, the foxholes they dug would provide cover not only for themselves, but also for their comrades who continued to rush forward.

But...... We are condescending, how deep do they have to dig a foxhole so that we can't hit them?

Coupled with the fact that this kind of turtle attack of the Vietnamese army will not put much pressure on us. So this gave the fighters the opportunity to practice using the M16.

The soldiers in the machine gun company who fought the most were excited, and they were already excited because of the American equipment assigned to them...... Although the people of this era keep calling the Yankees the American imperialists, they know in their hearts that American goods are synonymous with advancement. Although there were a few shots fired in the previous battle, it was a completely untargeted strafing in the fog. At this time, where would they let go of such an opportunity, one by one, lying in the trenches, aiming at the Vietnamese soldiers who were digging foxholes with guns!

It's just that the marksmanship is really not flattering, and I don't know where the bullets are flying for a while. But they can't seem to blame for that...... Five or six hundred meters away, and they're still recruits, and it's the first time they've used the M16, so it's weird to be able to hit accurately.

However, a few veterans in the second row still have two hands...... Because I consciously let them learn to use the M16, I gave them two in each class to practice. At this moment, they took it out and aimed at the Yue devils below.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Listening to this gunshot, I feel that it smells, and this is the right way to play. You must know that although the recoil and bullet scattering area of the M16 are small, it will still have an impact when fired continuously, especially against long-distance targets...... That's a thousand miles of difference, so it's more like a point shot, rather than a magazine like a recruit.

Sure enough, soon a few Yue devils who were digging fortifications fell under the guns of the soldiers.

Then Zhang Zuoliang scolded the recruits: "Do you see it? Learn more from veterans! ”

The recruits answered, and quickly picked up their rifles and practiced towards the Yue devils......

You must know that this is on the battlefield, and it is still targeting the living, so the progress of this recruit is quite large, and it will be very easy to fight after a while, although it cannot be said that it is a hundred shots, but the bullets can at least fall around the target.

The Vietnamese may have realized that something was wrong...... Doesn't this fight help us train our soldiers and practice marksmanship? And because of the elevation angle, it is difficult for them to observe us on the 581 heights, so it is purely a living moving target......

As a result, the Vietnamese army soon lost their breath, and as an officer jumped up and shouted "Comrades, ......", the Vietnamese devils got up from the ground in pieces and charged at us with guns.

Weishenme: The officer only shouted "Comrades", and the devil began to charge?

In fact, this was not his intention, he had two words next, "Rush!" But he didn't have time to shout these two words, because a bullet from the chamber of my gun had saved him from this chance forever.

However, just as we can see, the other Yue devils have already guessed what his order is, so they have launched an assault on our high ground with guns in hand.

But it was clear that the charge would not pose much of a threat to us, especially during the day when the light was good and the visibility was strong...... The soldiers could clearly see the formation of the Vietnamese army's charge, and then sent a rain of bullets to block it out of the cordon...... It's not like a war, it's a senseless sacrifice, a battle of flesh and blood against bullets.

Can flesh and blood be compared to bullets? Of course not, otherwise people don't need body armor.

But the more devils seem to be completely unaware of this, and rush to our high ground one by one...... The one in front fell, and the one behind stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to rush forward, holding the M16 to shoot at our high ground as they rushed back...... They may have hoped that they would be lucky enough to kill one or two of the enemy before they died, but the geographical superiority of our army prevented them from doing so.

Only then did I realize that last night's impression of the 5th Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army was wrong for life and fear of death, and that they were not cowardly, they were just not used to fighting at night.

Merely...... From this point of view, it would be better for them to fight at night. Because it is us who have the range and geographical advantage at this time, the darkness can greatly close the gap between us.

But as the saying goes, there is no such shop after this village, when the Vietnamese army realized this...... It's daylight now.

Ten minutes later, the Vietnamese attack was again beaten down by us without a single accident, except for the position of a few more corpses and some trenches, there was no difference. If there is anything different, it is that the corpses and blood of the Vietnamese army have advanced more than ten meters.

"Is it time for the Vietnamese army to surrender?" That's when the idea came to my mind, you know...... This Vietnamese army is a South Vietnamese force, and the South Vietnamese army is more Westernized in thought, that is, more inclined to Europe and the United States.

What would the Yankees do if they were in such a situation? The U.S. military has air supremacy, they will send a large number of bombers to fight together, and they will also transport planes and helicopters to provide supplies and fire support for the encircled troops, so it is definitely not so good to fight us with the U.S. military.

But the problem is that we are not facing the US military, they are just the South Vietnamese army trained by the US military. Does Vietnam have air supremacy? Is there a large number of bombers, transport planes, helicopters?

No!

So I don't think they have any chance of winning this war, so at this time...... They should have chosen to flee or surrender.

The possibility of escape will be a little higher, after all, we are just blocking the transport line of the Vietnamese devils, and there are many ways for the Vietnamese army to escape, from the small path or into the jungle, or across the river on foot...... Although the river swells during the rainy season, it is possible to get a few life rafts or swim through the water.

The problem is that as soon as they run away...... This means that the defense line of the entire army will collapse, and the main force of our army will follow closely and chase all the way, so this is actually a small group of people who fled first have time to escape, and most of those who fall behind will either be annihilated or surrender.

But...... The current Yue devils have done nothing, what are they waiting for? Or did the officers of the Vietnamese army press them and prevent them from surrendering?

The latter is very likely, just like the suicidal charge launched by the Vietnamese army just now, I don't think the South Vietnamese troops would have such a style of operation, it is more like the madness of the North Vietnamese troops. Of course, strictly speaking, the South Vietnamese troops no longer existed at this time, and the South Vietnamese troops in front of them were also under the control of the North Vietnamese forces.

But I don't think it's that simple, the Vietnamese army still seems to have a glimmer of hope to defeat us, what is this hope?

"Tank!" At this time, I heard Scar shouting over the intercom: "The Vietnamese devils sent tanks up, there are more than a dozen ......"

Almost at the same time, the "rumble" of motors sounded across from us, and several tanks in turf camouflage slowly drove out of the corner of the corner road...... Obviously, these tanks have been lurking in front of us for a long time, but the Viet Naught has not used them, and they did not do it until then when a tank unit came from the direction of Vietnam!

So I knew what the devil was waiting for. (To be continued......)
