Chapter 37: The Dark Castle
The effect that snipers can achieve with this "light enemy tactic" is beyond imagination.
There is a saying that "the higher you climb, the worse you fall", this is the situation faced by the snipers of the Vietnamese army, they originally thought that they could unfold so many snipers so smoothly, and it was a victory anyway, but what they didn't expect was that they didn't wait for these snipers to reap a result...... This sniper is almost gone!
Of course, it is impossible to kill all of them, after all, the goal is to hide in the grass and woods, and there will always be some incalculable deviations when the bullets are fired into the grass, so there are still a handful of Vietnamese snipers who can survive, but this part of the snipers also quickly realized that as long as they have any movement, there will be no such luck next time, so they can only hide in place and dare not move.
Marx and others took advantage of this time to climb to the forefront to measure these points.
Their speed was too fast to say, and they had been assigned beforehand, so they just showed up and fiddled with the equipment a few times before coming back. People who don't know think that they are just showing their heads to observe the enemy's situation!
It didn't take long for Marx and his men to return, and after drawing on the drawings for a while, they pointed to two locations on the map and reported to us: "According to calculations, it is only possible that the Vietnamese bunker is in these two positions, and this position in the east of it is more likely, because from here it is possible to observe a large part of the hilltop position, which is not only an excellent observation point but also a point of fire." If there is a bunker in this position, it will be a considerable threat to my main peak position! ”
Hearing this, the soldiers and I couldn't help but look at each other.
Fire Point ...... That means that the devils can set up a machine gun there and shoot at us like crazy?!
Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a chill down my spine. Just now, if this bunker suddenly attacked when the Vietnamese army attacked. We don't know how many casualties we will have.
But why didn't the Vietnamese army attack just now?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the position that Marx was referring to. So it soon became clear that there was a firepower point built by our army just behind the suspected location of the hidden fort. Obviously, if this bunker plays a role during the day, that is, it shoots bullets from it, then this can indeed inflict a lot of damage on our troops, but it will soon be discovered by our troops and blown up in time. After all, all you need to do is stuff a few grenades or explosives packs into the holes.
Therefore, I think that the Vietnamese army has decided to be patient for the time being, and only wait for the night to come before letting this dark fortress play a greater role.
"Battalion commander!" At this time, Liang Lianbing couldn't hold it back, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "You give the order." How to fight, if you don't kill them today, I'm the turtle grandson! ”
"Don't worry!" I stopped Liang Lianbing and said, "Let's figure out the state first, such as the exact location of the bunker, as well as the entrance of the bunker, the location of the perforation, etc., I don't know what these are fighting?" ”
"Yes!" Liang Lianbing replied with a strong stomach, he had long been unhappy with this group of Yue devils hiding in the dark castle.
Naturally, this task was still completed by Marx and a few people, and they already had experience in it.
As Marx had guessed, the bunker was on a small hill to the east, and the perforation or observation hole was supposed to be in a pile of rubble...... The reason why it is speculation is because Marx and others did not dare to turn over the chaotic stones to verify. The result of this is nothing but surprise.
"This entrance is more troublesome!" Marx said: "The Vietnamese army built it in the grass south of the main peak, and there seems to be nothing unusual on the surface. But there were a few traces of blood that showed the horse's feet, and the blood flowed to the grass at the entrance and disappeared, apparently someone was injured last night and crawled into the dark castle in a hurry and didn't have time to cover up! ”
"What's the trouble with this?" Liang Lianbing asked.
"The trouble is ......," Marx continued, pointing to the map, "the entrance is here, and this is where the Vietnamese firepower and artillery fire can reach!" ”
"Oh!" When Marx said this, we quickly understood.
To put it simply, we now know where the entrance to the Vietnamese bunker is, but we can't do it yet, because if we do, we will be exposing our backs to the guns of other Vietnamese soldiers.
Originally, I thought that as long as I found the location of this dark castle, I could solve it, but now it seems that I really underestimated the IQ of the Yue Devil.
Now that I think about it, it is also very reasonable for the Yue devil to arrange it like this, and the purpose of this dark fort built by the Yue army is only to take it back easily in case the main peak is lost, so these various layouts, including the entrance to this dark fort, will be so ingenious.
"Battalion commander!" Liang Lianbing said: "If this entrance can't be hit, then let's shoot it from the perforation, pick up the stone and stuff explosives into it, I don't believe that you can't kill these bastards!" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work!" Zhao Jingping shook his head: "First, the Vietnamese army is very likely to be on guard against this, and it is not difficult for them to plug a perforation, although we can remove the threat of perforation, but it will make the Vietnamese army wary." ”
Zhao Jingping's words are exactly what I want to say, this is the usual method used by the more devils, just like once there is an entrance or perforation found by our army in the old street, the more devils only need to simply blast these places from the inside, so that the collapsed section of the tunnel can completely block these entrances and perforations.
"Then let's dig in!"
"You're stupid when those devils are stupid!" Scar responded: "If we dig blatantly, they won't shoot?" ”
Liang Lianbing actually didn't know this truth, but he seemed to have lost his mind a little at this moment.
Later, I learned that it was not for nothing that Liang Lianbing would have such a appearance, because he had just learned that his younger brother who had joined the army not long ago was killed by a sneak attack by the Vietnamese army in the dark fort on the battlefield, and not long ago Liang Lianbing told his younger brother to be careful......
Of course, at this time, I didn't say this, although I was a little surprised by Liang Lianbing's abnormal appearance today, but I thought that this was just the reason why he was in a hurry to kill the enemy.
"We can do this!" I said, "If you can't beat us during the day, we'll wait until night!" ”
"At night?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, just now they were in a hurry to pull out this fangs before dark, but now they have to wait until night.
"Yes!" I said, "My thinking is this, it is very likely that the Vietnamese army will carry out an operation tonight in order to avoid long nights, and they are going to carry out infiltration warfare, so we will wait for them to come out and catch them all." ”
"Oh!" Everyone couldn't help but nod.
"Of course!" I continued: "It is very likely that the Yue devils will not come out of the nest, but at least it will greatly reduce the strength of their hidden fortress and make it easier for our army to attack, and secondly, in the dark night, even if our army is attacking the entrance of the dark fortress, the Vietnamese army is not easy to detect, and even if it is detected, we are not sure whether those who are at the entrance are friends or foes, which gives us a lot of room for movement!" ”
"I agree!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said: "If it doesn't work anymore, we will directly blow up the perforations and entrances of this dark fortress and seal them, and block them all in and can't get out!" ”
"One more point!" Scar added: "The Vietnamese devils in the bunker can easily get in touch with other Vietnamese soldiers and direct artillery fire for them, which means that there is a radio station inside. However, the signal of the radio station cannot be received in the tunnel, and the Vietnamese devils must have an external antenna, so we must find out this thing, so that when necessary, we can cut off the connection between the dark fort and the main force of the Vietnamese army, and destroy their coordination! ”
I think it's really true when Scar said this, and it was in vain that I took the soldiers to build the tunnel, and we used this method of connecting an external antenna to use the radio in the tunnel, but I didn't expect to forget about it when dealing with the Yue devils.
So the plan was quickly launched.
The first thing to do is to find the antenna, the reason why this work is put in the first step is because the antenna is not easy to find when it gets dark, this external antenna we have also played so we know what is going on, sometimes it is a thin iron rod, it looks no different from a barthatch, one end inside is connected to the radio, and the outer end is mixed with a bunch of barthatch, even in front of you you can't see that it is actually an antenna for radio communication.
It's not hard to find it, just set a fire and burn the grass on the battlefield.
This move will not arouse the suspicion of the devils, because this is what is often done when the enemy and us are fighting...... Weeds near the position can easily become hiding places for the enemy to sneak up at night, so setting fire to the grass before dark has become the norm.
Of course, we won't be so stupid to burn only one place, one burn is to burn a large piece, so that the main peak, which is not much in the vicinity for a few hundred meters, will become even more bare.
And then the antenna came out of nowhere in front of us...... However, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a standout, because the Vietnamese army also thought that there would be such a situation as burning grass, so this antenna is made very short, and it is also black. This makes it look like a piece of tree root that hasn't been burned through.
Not to mention, this disguise is really effective, and it is still difficult to find in the darkness of ashes everywhere. It's just that because we purposefully observed and searched, coupled with the efforts of several snipers, we finally discovered it.
After discovering it, of course not, cut this thing off immediately, which is tantamount to telling the devils that we already know their qiē and set up an ambush to wait for them to come out.
As usual, we still assign it to two fighters, whose task is to write down the position and sever the link between them when the time is right. (To be continued......)
