Chapter 104: The Battle of Mount Faka (9)

Although we were a little caught off guard by this desperate style of play of the Vietnamese army, I was not worried about it, because we had already prepared for it...... Another way of saying that it is desperate is that the enemy is in a mess, and of course it is an opportunity for us.

Of course, there is a saying that opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared...... The same applies to the battlefield, as it is now...... If we weren't prepared, it would really be possible for the Yue devils to take the No. 3 position with such a rush.

But now...... The more devils will soon find out that they made the wrong decision!

The first to play a role were a few observers who remained on the hilltop position...... These observers are not ordinary observers, but artillery observers who are in real contact with the covering fire of our army......

These cover fires were laid out before the Battle of Faka Mountain began...... The left and right flanks of Faka are the two highlands of Puliude and Zhaokashan...... Two reconnaissance teams of our army were deployed there, using rocket launchers, machine guns, mortars and other weapons to provide fire cover on the left and right flanks of Mount Faka.

Plus there was a mortar battalion in the rear...... Mortars are very important for attacking the high ground, because now everyone knows that there is a "reverse slope" tactic, and the anti-slope can almost only be hit by mortars, so it is necessary to defend Falka Mountain with very few casualties...... This mortar is an indispensable piece of equipment.

The superiors are also well aware of this, so they will naturally not be stingy in artillery...... In addition to the mortars on the left and right flanks, another mortar battalion was transferred...... In other words, in addition to the three artillery regiments, there are also two mortar battalions that provide fire cover for our small Faka Mountain.

This is, of course, the time for the mortar battalion to come into play...... The Vietnamese army is already lurking at the foot of Phaka Mountain, and long-range artillery such as howitzers can hardly hit them. But mortars do not have this problem at all.

And the mortar reacts very quickly...... These elements are all adjusted in advance. It was test-fired even during the day. Now it's a matter of putting the shells in it......

So with the observer's order: "Release!" ”

"Boom ......" almost at the moment when the Vietnamese army launched a charge, the shells of our mortars also smashed into the anticline of Phaka Mountain.

Of course, the artillery observers did not see the specific position of the Vietnamese troops...... After all, it was dark night, and the Vietnamese army had just launched a burst of artillery attacks, and the smoke on the position had not yet dissipated...... Therefore, the observers only heard the Vietnamese troops at the foot of the mountain, but did not see them.

But artillery observers don't seem to need to know the exact location of these Vietnamese troops......

First, it is because our army has plenty of shells...... This is the advantage of our army's thorough preparation before the war, before the start of the war we stored three base shells in the direction of Mount Faka, and the shells are still being transported in this direction...... It is important to know that only Phaka Mountain is the most fierce fighting in the entire Vietnamese battlefield (other positions are in a stalemate), so the transportation of ammunition and supplies is also based on Phaka Mountain. At this time in our country, the transportation of railways and automobiles was ...... Naturally, its speed will be much faster than that of the Vietnamese Army Highway and the Son Road.

(Note: When our army withdrew from Vietnam in 79, it destroyed Vietnam's railways and highways on a large scale, and Vietnam is a poor country, so it will not be able to fully resume railway transportation for a while and a half, so at this time, most of them still rely on a combination of road and mountain road transportation.) )

On the other hand...... It's because the mountain itself is very narrow...... It is only more than 150 meters long and more than 70 meters wide...... Even if this shell blows up a wall of fire on the anticline of Mount Faka, it is only a little more than 100 meters long!

So Master Liang waved his hand very generously: "How can a wall of fire be enough, what if a few Yue devils leak over?" ”

As a result, the defense of our troops on the anticline of Mount Fakka was two walls of fire blown up by mortars...... These two walls of fire are one near and one far away.

Needless to say, it is the part of the mountain that has been turned from flat to inclined at the foot of Mount Faka......

This part was chosen because the speed of the Vietnamese army's charge would naturally slow down when changing from flat to inclined plane. As a result, the personnel are also relatively dense.

The second is because the shells exploded on this inclined plane...... There was a height difference between the Vietnamese army and the charging on the flat hills, and this height difference would increase the coverage of shrapnel and debris flying out. So as to achieve the goal of killing and injuring as many Vietnamese troops as possible.

The nearby wall of fire was only about 30 meters away from Position 3...... This is exactly the distance at which the Vietnamese army is capable of throwing grenades, which greatly reduces the possibility that the Vietnamese army will approach our position and throw grenades at me!

Thankfully, we've built one more wall of fire...... Because a considerable part of the Vietnamese army had already taken advantage of the previous bombardment to approach our No. 3 position, that is to say, the first wall of fire could no longer work on them...... If there was no such close wall of fire, and most of our soldiers were in the cat's ear hole at this time, it was very likely that they would have taken the No. 3 position with a single charge.

But now it's a different story...... With a burst of "rumbling" cannon sounds, the end of the anti-slope plane only exploded into the sky, if this is still some more devil can rush over...... I'm afraid it can only be described as "invulnerable".

At this time, the only remaining problem was the Vietnamese army on the positive slope...... This part of the Vietnamese army took advantage of the smoke of artillery fire to sneak into the positive slope of Phaka Mountain, and later we learned that the total number of Vietnamese troops in Lu Dao was a platoon, and the first squad in front of it was infiltrated into the positive slope, and the remaining two squads were lurking in the anti-slope.

Vietnamese army on the positive slope...... Of course, we can't use shells to blow up a wall of fire to stop them...... There are only a few people in the devil, can they use cannons to fight mosquitoes? Moreover, our own people and fortifications are on the positive slope, so it is impossible to say who will suffer more casualties in such a bombing!

But of course, I don't need to worry too much about that...... With snipers here, it's time for them to shine!

Sure enough, I saw two flares at the foot of the mountain...... In an instant, the positive slope was illuminated in snow-white, and the more than ten Yue devils who charged with guns appeared in our sight like targets...... This time, where will the snipers be polite to them and "bang" a few shots...... knocked these Vietnamese troops who tried to shake the tree with the power of the grasshopper to the ground.

But the battle didn't end there...... The long-term experience of fighting with the Vietnamese devils tells us that we should be careful and careful when fighting with the Vietnamese devils...... Otherwise, it is very likely that you will win the battle and suffer a lot of anger, because the wounded soldiers of the more devils will always lurk in the shadows...... Just waiting for us to rush up and die with us when we are not looking.

So Scar and the others came out of the cat's ear hole under the cover of the sniper...... Some of them carefully cooperated with the snipers to check whether the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers were all dead, or under the guidance of the snipers, they checked some suspicious places to see if there were still Vietnamese troops lurking.

The other part...... It was along the communication trenches to reinforce the hilltop positions, and only then did the mortar fire cease......

"Report to the battalion commander!" It didn't take long for Scar to report to me via walkie-talkie: "The charge of the Yue devils has been repelled by us!" ”

As a result, the well-planned sneak attack of the Vietnamese army was perfectly repelled by our army...... Our troops did not even have a single casualty, while the corpses of the Vietnamese troops lying on the Phaka Hill were as many as two platoons.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" For this reason, Division Commander Liang called me again: "You command very well, and of course the comrades of the synthetic battalion also fight well!" I know that your ears are cocooned when you hear these words, but I still can't help but give you a call, this is the best coordinated defensive battle I have ever seen! It's amazing! ”

"Master Liang has won the award!" I replied: "This is because we have the cooperation of a powerful artillery unit......"

"Huh!" Division Commander Liang retorted: "I know exactly what happened in the whole battle, under the attack method of the Yue devils...... Ordinary troops, even if they are given more artillery, are in danger! But you were able to defeat the Yue devils with zero casualties...... That's telling. This result...... Let me sigh to myself! This also shows that I was right to hand over the command to you...... Fight well, after this battle, brother, I will invite you to have a drink! ”

"No problem!" I said, "Raise your glass and drink after you've beaten the devil!" ”

When I put down the microphone, I had a better understanding of this teacher.

If this is someone else...... At this time, most people will say, "I'll help you ask for credit after the fight", but this Liang division commander didn't say that...... Don't look at the difference is small, but it feels completely different.

"Help you get credit"...... This sounds as if we are fighting the devils for that credit, not to mention that if we want to count the credit, I'm afraid I can't count the credit now.

And what Master Liang said was just "have a drink...... This has a kind of pride in "killing enemies for fun", which is very appealing to my appetite.

By this time, the sky was gradually brightening...... The dawn of the day means the end of the Vietnamese offensive, which is determined by the fact that our artillery is stronger than the Vietnamese army.

So the soldiers in front and back followed and relaxed...... Talking about last night's battle......

I didn't think there was anything ...... last night's fight This battle is just a very ordinary battle for our synthetic battalion, isn't it? The annihilated Vietnamese army was only two platoons, which is quite a small number in the history of our synthetic battalion!

But this warrior's back and forth:

"Do you know the way? Last night, the synthetic battalion repelled the Vietnamese attack with zero casualties! ”

"I also annihilated two platoons!"

"I heard about the sharpshooters of the synthetic battalion...... Even in the dark, you can hit the target! ”

"Really? What a god! ”

……

When they said that, I realized that it was really ...... It's not easy to have zero casualties, but I'm in the middle of it, so I don't think there's anything. (To be continued......)
