Chapter 205: 7.12 Battle (4)
This approach certainly works.
There are two types of grenades: defensive grenades and offensive grenades.
Defensive grenades have a large radius of damage, and if this grenade is thrown forward and charged at the same time, it is very likely that it will fall into the radius of the grenade you throw because it is too fast...... This is suicide in disguise.
The offensive grenade has a small killing radius, and if it is skillfully operated, it can indeed throw the grenade forward to demine while charging, as the Vietnamese commander requested.
But here's the problem......
How many grenades can a person carry when charging? How many mines can these grenades dispel and how many people can be safeguarded?!
At this time, the Vietnamese army did not consider these things at all, but gritted their teeth and forcibly passed through Guò, so the minefield immediately exploded with a "crackling" sound, and along with these explosions, all kinds of severed limbs of the Vietnamese army flew up.
However, the offensive of the Vietnamese army was completely unblocked by the minefield, the people in front were blown down, and the people behind rushed forward by stepping on the corpses of their comrades.
I can understand this, the Vietnamese commanders are well aware that the only way for them to survive at this time is to take our positions and organize defenses.
And if you want to take the position of our army, the key lies in the word "fast".
So the follow-up troops did not have time to demine, they could only face these steel and explosives with their flesh.
But that doesn't mean the Vietnamese army will be able to achieve their goals.
Because the next thing they have to face is our artillery...... The task of the main artillery forces of our army is to prevent them from joining forces with the Vietnamese troops on the front line, and it is clear that if they are allowed to do this. That would almost mean that our positions were lost.
Our artillery is certainly well aware of this. So at this moment. Our artillery fired 13 salvos in one go.
rocket artillery, 85 cannons, 122 howitzers, 152 howitzers...... It was within two hundred meters of the front of the position from left to right and then from right to left.
Later, according to the recollections of our infantry, it was a veritable wall of fire, a wall of fire blown up with artillery shells. It was this wall of fire that stubbornly sealed the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army behind it.
As a result, almost all of the vanguard units of the Vietnamese army could not be effectively reinforced, so they soon fell into a dilemma where they could not advance or retreat.
Go ahead, they will have to face the tight defenses of the Chinese soldiers. Their strength and limited ammunition were okay for the Chinese soldiers to cause trouble, but it was almost impossible to take the enemy's defensive line.
Retreat, behind them is the wall of fire built by the Chinese artillery, and there is no turning back for them at all.
The fourth part of our artillery is actually a supplement to the third part, that is, the main artillery force.
The main force of our artillery is basically long-range artillery, and the weakness of these artillery pieces is that there will be many dead ends of artillery fire, and these dead ends of artillery fire will often be used by the devils...... The Vietnamese army were all veterans, and they knew very well what the enemy's long-range artillery could not hit.
Because of this, the Vietnamese army often sets up important institutions in these corners, such as temporary ammunition depots, such as headquarters and so on.
We have been prepared for this. Before the war, the Zhuyuan was calculated, and at this time, mortars of various calibers carried out large-scale bombardment of the dead corners of long-range artillery in front of the position, such as depressions and anticlines on hills.
At the time, we did not know the effects of the bombing. The mortar gunners also only knew that it would be over if they covered the designated area back and forth a few times, and no one could say what the results of their bombardment were.
On the one hand, this is because even if we blow up the Vietnamese army headquarters, we will not be able to see it, and on the other hand, because the Vietnamese army's charge has not been affected at all...... According to our understanding, if the Vietnamese army headquarters is terminated, then there will be some problems in the organization and coordination of the Vietnamese army's charge, but the Vietnamese army fought very well in the whole battle, and there was basically no riot.
From this, it seems that we can introduce the fourth part of the shell and it did not have the desired effect.
After the war, we learned from the Vietnamese prisoners that the bombardment of the fourth part of our army directly destroyed one or two battalion headquarters and four company headquarters.
The reason why the Vietnamese army is not chaotic is actually because the Vietnamese army we are facing has a high degree of organization and discipline, and they have been clearly assigned tasks before the war, so even if they lose their command, they know very well what they should do.
But even that won't help......
After more than 10 minutes, we had basically cleared up the Vietnamese artillery fire. Of course, there will be some surviving artillery among them, but I believe that there are not many of them, because the Vietnamese army at this time is obviously desperate, whether it is infantry or artillery.
That is, the infantry launched a desperate charge, and at the same time, the artillery completely disregarded life and death to cooperate with the infantry to launch a charge...... As a result of this, the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army were nakedly exposed to the artillery radar of our troops. Soon, our artillery destroyed them one by one.
The destruction of the Vietnamese artillery means that the nightmare of the Vietnamese infantry will follow, because at this time, our artillery does not have to worry about the suppression of the Vietnamese artillery at all, and can confidently and boldly even launch a bombardment against the Vietnamese infantry who do not need to transfer their positions at all.
This is actually an asymmetrical war, and the difference with the Falklands is ...... We found a gap in the artillery, forming this asymmetrical situation.
Then the artillery battalion of the composite battalion and a regiment of the 4th Artillery Division were soon engaged in blocking and bombarding the Vietnamese infantry.
Unlike other artillery units, our artillery unit is directly subordinate to the command and comparison of artillery sighting radars. Therefore, when we participated in the bombing, we were still in a state of mobility, that is, the artillery observers on the front line found that there was a gap in the wall of fire blown up by our army's artillery fire and some Vietnamese troops took advantage of the loophole, so they would immediately notify us by walkie-talkie and fill the gap in time. Or if there is a large number of Vietnamese troops gathered in a certain place, that is also the time for us to show our might.
As a result, in the light of artillery fire and the smoke of gunfire, tens of thousands of fighters fought to the death in this narrow strip. One side is determined to win, and the other is not to give up an inch of land; One is aggressive and unkind, and the other is taking the initiative to attack and retaliate; One is to move forward desperately regardless of the cost, and the other is to vow to live and die with the position and would rather die than retreat.
The tongues of fire that spread all over the mountains reflected the entire battlefield, and it was the human flesh that fell in the flames, and the dignity of the nation stood up! (To be continued......)
