Chapter 166: The Clash of Steel

With a burst of cheers, our fighters located in the gorge once again seized the initiative.

The fall of the Vietnamese tank caused the Vietnamese infantry following behind to lose cover, and the Vietnamese army was exposed to our guns like targets.

The soldiers had had enough of the bullying of these Vietnamese devils before, and they had already held their breath in their hearts, and now they found an opportunity where they would be polite to them, and immediately fired rows of bullets at them, only to make the Vietnamese army cry like wolves.

Wu Zhijun and I were not idle, throwing incendiary bombs down one by one, of course, our main target was the infantry in front and behind the tank.

Incendiary bombs do little damage to tanks, and we are no longer willing to waste these scarce bombs on tanks. After all, we still have to plan for the follow-up battle, and if we finish throwing incendiary bombs in one go, what about a few more T62s?

The incendiary bomb can be said to have played a decisive role at this time,

First of all, the T62 lost its night vision due to incendiary bombs, even the T62 that served as fire cover outside the canyon was no exception......

Some people may say, isn't that T62 at Taniguchi in the bright place? Will it need night vision?

T62 is in the light, but our soldiers are in a dark canyon, and the reason why it can accurately find the target is because of its night vision. It's just that this moment was blown up by our incendiary bomb...... On his night vision device, I'm afraid it's just a red patch.

As a result, the two T62s, which were originally invincible, were now idle, like two fools, especially the tank located in the canyon. Let's move forward...... And I can't see it. Stand back. Behind it was all their own infantry......

Another benefit is that these incendiary bombs expose enemies to fire.

Because the T62 has night vision, the Vietnamese army could see us, but we could only see some vague figures, but after the incendiary bomb exploded, the situation came to a big reversal. Under the light of the fire, the Vietnamese army and the T62 were as obvious as lice on the bald head.

Under the double blow of raindrops of bullets and incendiary bombs, the Vietnamese troops in the canyon were soon in a mess, and bullets rained down on them in pieces. Flames burst out among them...... Looking down from above, the canyon looked like a purgatory, filled with hellfire and the screams of evil spirits.

Of course, there are also some of these devils who are more intelligent, and they jumped into the river to escape at the first time...... It should be said that this does have a greater chance of survival, and it is relatively easy for Bi Yi to dodge incendiary bombs in the river, but unfortunately the river is only more than a meter deep, and the AK47 bullets can completely penetrate these rivers and cause damage to the Vietnamese troops who are potential inside, so a bullet passes...... The river floated up and the corpses flowed down.

That's when something unexpected happened.

The T62 trapped in the canyon suddenly turned on its headlights, and then rushed forward with full horsepower......

I quickly realized what was happening, the T62 had turned off the infrared night vision and was moving forward relying on a normal periscope.

It should be said that this is the most haode choice. Whether it's a night vision device or a periscope. As long as it can see the way, and it is now trapped in this canyon in a dilemma, it might as well fight and rush forward...... Maybe you can break through our army's defenses and escape with the tank's excellent performance and protection.

It should be said that this possibility is very large, after all, the defensive zone of our army is only a few hundred meters in front and behind, and the cross-country speed of the T62 can reach 30 kilometers per hour. In other words, it was this T62 that had increased its horsepower and could break through the defenses of our troops on the other side of the canyon and re-enter the Vietnamese-controlled area in less than a minute.

If it's just an escape, it's not much of a concern. I'm more worried about ...... This tank with superior performance may cause great trouble to our tank troops on the other side, making it difficult for our army to take care of both.

However, there was nothing I could do to stop the tank from moving forward, because it was using a periscope...... The more primitive things in this world are, the less weak they are, such as the present...... If I throw an incendiary bomb in front of it, it seems to be lighting the way for it.

If...... If I can light its periscope with an incendiary bomb, it might work, after all, if there is a fire outside the periscope, I can't see the road. But the problem is that I don't know where the periscope of this tank is...... In hindsight, I found out that even if I knew, it would be difficult to hit because its periscope only occupies a small part of the front of the car. Want to hit accurately...... Especially the periscope of a tank with full horsepower to drive forward, I am afraid that I will have to train for another ten or eight years.

Seeing that T62 was about to escape from the canyon after turning a corner along the canyon, there was a roar of a motor on the other side.

Wu Zhijun and I ran a few steps forward to take a look suspiciously, and couldn't help but be stunned...... On the other side of the canyon, a Type 59 medium tank of our army was driving at the mouth of the valley, which was also moving at full speed.

This sudden situation obviously made both sides have no time to react, the Vietnamese tanks did not expect that this horizontal would kill such a Cheng Biting Jin, and our tanks obviously decided to use tanks to block because they found that the Vietnamese tanks were about to rush through the canyon, so both sides did not have time to load and launch...... So the two steel behemoths collided violently.

The sound of "clanging ......" steel clashing echoed in the canyon, and at that moment even drowned out the sound of gunfire and explosions.

Although this T62 is stronger than our army's 59 in all aspects, it is the same medium tank as the 59, although the T62 is one ton heavier than the 59...... But the weight of one ton is only a small part of the tank, so the T62 did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and both tanks were unresponsive at that moment......

I think this must be because the tankers in the tank have been knocked unconscious, and from this point of view, the tanks in our army's 59 are really ruthless...... They knew what would happen if they collided like this, but they still drove the tank up without hesitation.

After a while, the Vietnamese T62 seemed to have some reaction, and the turret turned a few times as if to aim at the 59 that was blocking him...... It's a pity that the long barrel was stuck by the turret in 59 and couldn't turn around.

It wasn't long before a fire erupted behind the T62's turret...... It was an explosive package detonated by our soldiers, and for a T62 that could not move and could not turn the turret, no matter how advanced the system was, it was no different from a pile of scrap metal.

Soon, the Vietnamese offensive retreated.

Neither retreat nor retreat, and the offensive has no meaning other than to increase casualties...... The canyon has been jammed with two tanks, and it will be difficult for the Vietnamese army to play a role even if they have more T62s, unless they have the courage to come in and push those two tanks away under the noses of our infantry.

Then, after our soldiers rescued several tankmen from the damaged 59, a burst of cheers broke out on the battlefield of our army...... Once again, we won the battle, and although we also paid a lot of casualties, we still kept the Vietnamese troops out of the pass.

This time, they did not launch attacks one after another as before, after all, their real plan to attack Jihua has completely failed, and there is even no possibility of breaking through the canyon again because the two tanks are stuck in the valley mouth...... So it's time for them to think about what to do next.

This finally gave us a rare opportunity to change the defense, and the substitutes went up one by one, and we also went down the high ground one by one......

The regimental commander and political commissar personally led the troops to meet us on the high ground, and as soon as we walked down, the regimental commander and political commissar were busy catching up and shaking hands with us.

The surrounding warriors also shouted one after another:

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Well played!"

"The second company is good!"

……

If these words were changed in normal times...... It may be just a few simple greetings, but at this moment, it is engraved in our hearts. We all know that these words ...... It not only represents the respect and recognition of the soldiers for us, but also represents the compassion for the sacrificed soldiers.

Because of all this...... All the warriors bought it with their blood and lives.

The reason why Zuihou was replaced was because the terrain in the canyon was complex and difficult to climb, and the other was because the positions of the various positions were scattered, and Scar and the others had to point out the positions one by one to the troops who received the defense, and then explain some places that should be paid attention to.

So, it wasn't until we all sat in the middle of the ground eating food and drinking water that Scar and his party climbed out of the canyon one after another, and the reason why they used to climb ...... It's because the valley mouth has been stuffed with tanks.

What shocked me and the fighters was hard to accept...... There were only eleven people in a row, and all of them were wounded. You must know that there were originally more than 30 people in a platoon, but two-thirds of them were killed and wounded in this battle alone!

The soldiers hurriedly put down the food in their hands and went up, followed by the hygienist carrying the stretcher......

The bombardment of the Yue Devil Tank was not small, and more importantly, the two walls of the canyon were full of stones, and the debris that was blown up would become shrapnel, not to mention, it would also cause the gravel and shrapnel to eject between the two walls...... This will undoubtedly multiply the lethality of the shells, so it is not surprising that there are such large casualties in a platoon.

However, fortunately, we still blocked the enemy's attack, and the final victory was ours. (To be continued......)
