Chapter 211: Long-range artillery fire

The ammunition count was quickly counted: 9 AK47 magazines, one and a half machine gun drums, plus a few 56 and a half magazines on Xiao Chen's body and dozens of sniper bullets in my backpack. On the explosives side, there were only thirteen grenades and two explosives packs left...... Most of these were brought up by the more devils, and when the more devils launched the first charge against us, they were so light that they didn't even bother to put down the explosives bag they were carrying.

At this time, the first decision I made was to replenish the 56 and a half and sniper rifle to about 100 rounds, after all, the 56 and a half sniper rifle that can shoot accurately in the case of insufficient ammunition is the king.

It's good that bullets are interchangeable...... The 56 and a half bullets are AK47 bullets, and the sniper rifle bullets are light machine gun bullets. So, to do this, I only needed to assign Xiao Chen two AK magazines, and I slowly withdrew the bullets with the half-fired drum...... This machine gun drum can hold 100 rounds, and this half drum has about 50 or 60 rounds.

"Platoon Commander Yang!" Xu Li, who was in charge of the guard, retracted her head and asked me, who was retracting the bullet behind me: "You say...... How will this devil attack next? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then shook my head.

I haven't really thought about it...... Now that Xu Li asked me like this, I think this is really a problem.

The best thing to use is, of course, mortars...... But it is clear that the Yue Devil has no mortars available now, otherwise it would have been used in the charge a long time ago.

Let's go next...... Consume our bullets? Maybe that's a way, as the old man said. Deal with an enemy with low ammunition. The best way to do this is to spread out and surround it from several sides. The other side advances without firing, and looks for cover when he shoots...... This forces the enemy to constantly deplete ammunition. That's what the devil did in 237 Heights......

But...... If the opponent is a sniper, this method will backfire.

The reason is that the advantage of a sniper is accurate marksmanship, and the disadvantage is that the rate of fire is low...... Therefore, if this method is still used to attack, it is undoubtedly to test the enemy's marksmanship with the lives of soldiers, and it is undoubtedly to attack the enemy's strengths with the shortest of the hour.

Let's count it on the basis of the probability of destroying an enemy with three bullets...... There is also a way to use the remaining ammunition to wipe out the enemy.

Assault? That doesn't seem to be right, as the previous fights have proven...... The place we are defending now is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Vietnamese army's strong offensive is basically exposing its own forces to our guns, not to mention that now we have not only sniper rifles, but also AK47s and light machine guns.

These weapons and equipment are a perfect combination of long range, fast and slow rate of fire, and high and low accuracy, coupled with this condescending and favorable terrain, even if the Vietnamese army has a large number of people, there is nothing they can do with us.

At this time...... I almost always suspect that these huts were built after military installations, otherwise they would have been built like bunkers or strongholds.

I realized later that I had guessed correctly.

It is said that at the beginning, this Yue devil was invaded by France, Japan and the United States, among which France also invaded twice in a very strange way......

Before World War II, Vietnam was a French colony, but Japan launched a war and drove out the French without much effort...... At this time, France's combat effectiveness can be said to be a chicken feather, and I don't know if the French are living too well, too "romantic" or what, and they were disarmed by Japan without much resistance in Vietnam. What about domestic...... The painstaking construction of a Maginot Line did not work at all before the whole country surrendered, and the contribution that can be said in World War II was to bomb its own warships and fall into the hands of the Germans.

However...... It's such a country that didn't contribute much in World War II. However, after the war, he demanded: "Vietnam was a French colony before the war, and after the war, France, as a victorious country, naturally has a reason to recolonize Vietnam......

He also didn't want to think about who had thrown Vietnam away without putting up resistance here, and who had paid with his blood and lives to drive the Japanese away......

All right! As soon as the war ended, it demanded the recolonization of Vietnam as a victorious power! If you really have that strength, others won't have anything to say...... But even more humiliating is yet to come, these French troops, armed to the teeth, re-entered Vietnam a few years later, but they were stunned to be defeated by the Vietnamese with hoes and firewood knives! In the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, not only were 16,000 annihilated and 15,000 captured, but even the commander of the defending army was captured alive......

Without further ado, what we didn't know at this time was that the place where I was originally built by the Vietnamese army to deal with the French and American troops, but because the French army was later beaten away and the American army also walked away, the fortifications facing the south seemed to be of little use...... After the desertion, the Vietnamese people built several houses on the solid foundation of the fortifications.

So...... This has become a good place for us to fight the Vietnamese devils.

However, will the more devils not fight because it is difficult to take down our high ground? Of course not, this is not the style of the Yue Devil, the combat style of our Chinese army is not afraid of sacrifice and can fight a tough battle, the Yue Devil as our apprentice, but also suffered from the oppression of the Western powers, and naturally inherited our combat style.

So...... All I can do is wait, wait for the more devil to make a move, and then I zaijian will make a move!

That's when ...... Suddenly, there was a shrill whistling sound in the sky......

My face couldn't help but change, and then I quickly knew what kind of trick the Yue devil was doing.

"Get out of the house!" I yelled at the soldiers, jumped over Zhang Fan, who was resting at the back door, grabbed her and ran out.

At this time, Zhang Fan didn't hurry to stand up at all, and was almost dragged out by me all the way...... I dragged her like this for two reasons, one was to save her life, and the other was to save other people's lives.

You must know that time was tight at that time, and it was only a few seconds before the cannonball fell when he heard the cannonball, but Zhang Fan was sitting at the door...... Sitting at the only back door where we could escape (the front door was blocked by a bunker made of fertilizer bags), and with our backs to the threshold, our feet bent over, all in the way of the barricade...... The warriors here can almost be said to have been sealed in by her.

Later, when I heard Zhang Fan talk about it, she was confused...... All I thought about was how I could be so cruel and drag her on the ground like this......

I really don't know what this girl is thinking, this is the battlefield, what place she thinks it is!

I had just dragged Zhang Fan to the fortifications built by several bags of fertilizer outside the house when a row of shells "roared" on the hilltop position...... Of course, it will not hit the hut directly, firstly, the hut is only half exposed by the ridgeline, and the chance of the shell hitting is very small, and secondly, the hit rate of the shell is not high. Fortunately, Xu Li, Xiao Chen and a few others rushed out of the house......

Someone may ask...... I broke all the mortars of this devil, didn't I? Where did the more devils get the shells......

This is not a mortar of the Vietnamese army, but a long-range artillery fire of the Vietnamese army.

Isn't long-range artillery fire only hitting on the positive slope of the heights because of the angle? Most of our fortifications are built on the anticline, so what is the use of the more devils to shoot long-range artillery?

Certainly useful...... Otherwise, the more devils will not be so stupid and waste shells!

The point is that long-range artillery fire can not hit these huts built on the anti-slope, but it can cause a lot of shock...... IT IS SAID THAT MOST OF THESE LONG-RANGE ARTILLERY PIECES ARE LARGE-CALIBER, JUST LIKE THE HOWITZERS USED BY THE VIETNAMESE ARMY AT THE PASS ARE 152MM CALIBER, AS WELL AS 155MM OR EVEN 203MM...... A larger caliber means a larger shell, and a larger shell means a larger mass......

It is conceivable that such a massive shell can fly more than ten kilometers at high speed...... And then it blows up on our high ground, and what a shock it will be.

The old man once said...... The shell shook so badly that it deafened the ears, which was quite light, and on the battlefield, it often happened that people's internal organs were injured or even shocked to death.

As it was now, rows and rows of shells were smashing down on the hilltop positions, and the shrapnel and flying debris didn't hurt us much, because we were still hiding in the fortifications. What's even worse is the earthquake-like shock...... It was like a giant beating a drum, hammer after hammer near the hilltop position.

Of course, the intention of the Vietnamese army was not to shock us to death like this...... Although this is also possible, I think that the Vietnamese artillery fire does not have such firepower, which requires a large number of artillery shells to fire at our positions at the same time. Or can it be said...... The Vietnamese army has the ability, but it will not mobilize artillery fire on such a large scale for the seven of us.

Their real purpose...... Actually, it's those houses.

The houses were built with earthen walls, and they were also topped with relatively heavy wooden beams and tiles...... So soon, with the shock of the cannonballs, the earthen walls kept "gargling" and falling clods of earth...... After a while, there was only a "boom", and the whole hut collapsed into ruins.

The first to collapse was the hut closest to the top of the mountain...... It's easy to understand that the closer you are to the summit position, the closer you are to the epicenter, so the faster the collapse.

Then there's a cabin in the back...... But I feel fortunate that I don't know if the third hut was stronger or the Vietnamese army stopped shelling because they thought all the huts had collapsed, and the hut where the fertilizer was stored did not collapse until Zuihou.

So, this also gave us the opportunity to be able to resist the Vietnamese army.

I think that if the Vietnamese army knew this, I was afraid that they would regret it and die! (To be continued......)
