Chapter 52: The Captive

PS: Today because of the power outage, so I didn't change it in the morning.,This chapter is to make up for the morning.,This chapter will be later in the evening!

The gunfire was more intense, but it was different from before...... This time it was more of the sound of gunfire from the Vietnamese army.

The artillery was fired from mortars from the rear of the Vietnamese army.

I have to admit that the Vietnamese army's infantry and artillery coordination is indeed very good, especially the Vietnamese army's 5th Infantry Division in front of us...... Perhaps, this is because they were trained by the US military, and the US military has always paid attention to the coordination and cooperation of various units and arms, and it seems that this Vietnamese army has also inherited this fine tradition of the US military.

Like we're seeing now...... As soon as our firepower was weakened, the Vietnamese artillery observers soon touched the hilltop position, and as soon as the artillery observers took up the position, it meant that they could guide and direct the mortars to bombard our positions.

The bombardment was divided into two parts, one directed at Heights 393...... The Vietnamese army knew that this high ground had a strong covering fire of our army. The other part points to the second line of trenches in the anticline positions of our troops...... This trench is the main firepower component of our army's anti-slope position.

The gunfire came from the M16 in the hands of the Vietnamese army and the American general-purpose machine gun mounted on the hilltop position...... You must know that as soon as our army's firepower is suppressed by the Vietnamese mortar, it means that the Vietnamese troops on the hilltop position will have more room to move, and the advantages of American equipment are long range, high accuracy, and fierce firepower...... As a result, the bullets poured "rattling" towards our army's position, and in an instant, our army's position was like a pot of fried beans.

At this time, I can't help but regret a little regret that I ordered the soldiers to "collect their firepower", you must know that just now we were still pressing the enemy to fight them without the power to fight back, who knew that these American-style equipped Vietnamese troops could seize the opportunity to burst out in such an amazing combat effectiveness in such a short period of time.

But this regret is only a fleeting thought in my heart...... Because I know very well. In the past, we were fighting against the enemy. But in reality, the enemy's casualties were not large...... The casualties we inflicted on the Vietnamese army were nothing more than a grenade thrown onto the hilltop position and injured a few people. The Vietnamese army knew that we would constantly throw grenades at the hilltop position, and of course they would not be stupid enough to send a large number of troops to garrison it.

Therefore, we were actually using the consumption of ammunition to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army...... The result of continuing this is that we will soon run out of ammunition.

In other words, it is only a matter of time before the enemy is "let go".

And I'm not very worried about such an attack from the enemy...... The reason is that I know that there will always be a moment when the Vietnamese artillery bombardment will stop.

This is not to say that there are not enough shells for the Vietnamese army...... Rather, the troops of the Vietnamese army are charging.

Sure enough, when the Vietnamese army crossed the first trench of our army, there were still more than a hundred meters from the second trench...... The mortars of the Vietnamese army stopped!

It should be said that the mortar's anti-personnel perimeter was not more than a hundred meters away...... Because the mortar shell is short and the charge is not much, the killing radius of the 60 gun and the 82 gun is about 20M.

Some people may wonder...... Since the more devils have not yet entered the kill radius of the mortar. weishenme stopped shelling so early?

This is actually another benefit of the anti-slope tactic...... The Vietnamese attack was rushed down from above the inclined plane, but the shrapnel exploded from the shells in a radial form from the bottom up.

Therefore, although the Vietnamese army is still more than 100 meters away from us, it is at a high altitude compared to the explosion point of the artillery shells...... So in fact, it was already within the killing range of mortar fragments, so the Vietnamese artillery had to stop bombing, and even the bombing of the 393 heights had to stop...... So our troops had time to fight back.

And the timing and timing of this return fire...... It should be said that it is just right!

"Hit!" As soon as I gave the order, all kinds of weapons on the anti-slope and the 393 Heights spewed out tongues of fire at the charging Vietnamese troops, and in an instant, the gunfire and bullet rain suppressed the firepower of the Vietnamese troops, especially the twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns on the 393 Heights...... It was specially equipped with the fire cover unit of the Vietnamese army on the 419 hilltop position, and as soon as it opened fire, the Vietnamese army on the entire hilltop position was silenced.

The Vietnamese assault units were deprived of friendly fire. There is no coordination of mortars again...... Soon it became a lone army, so it was exposed to the guns of our army.

These Vietnamese troops are also well-trained troops. As soon as he saw that the signs were wrong, he quickly stopped the charge and looked for cover on the spot......

Some of them lay down on the spot to avoid bullets, which should be said to be the conditioned reflex of most Vietnamese soldiers...... But this is still not smart enough, because they have to face not only the PLA from the anticline, but also from the 393 heights...... For the soldiers of the 393 Heights, the enemy lying below was like a human-shaped target, and the distance was only one or two hundred meters...... The only difficulty for us in this kind of shooting is that we have to adjust the shooting angle when the direction is a little to the right.

Others quickly thought of the first trench that had just been broken through...... This group of men was undoubtedly more intelligent, and they stopped their steps and retreated into the first line of trenches they had just captured before our troops could fire a large number of bullets, and tried to organize a defense on the basis of this.

But they soon discover that it was just a good wish......

The first trench has a very cheating design for the Yue devils, that is, the front is high and the back is low. This design is no problem for our army, because we are facing the other side, and the position we can rely on is high...... The Vietnamese army is the opposite, they have their backs against the high half, and the other half on their backs is low enough to allow one person to bend down and hide inside, and it is so narrow that it can only accommodate one person......

Then the problem soon arose, and the Vietnamese either bent down and hid inside to avoid the bullets...... At this time, it is impossible to shoot a gun, because it is a horizontal dodge, and if you want to shoot, you have to lean out half of your body...... The result of being able to poke out half of your body is to expose yourself to the fire of our army.

The Vietnamese army soon realized that the charge had failed, and with the order of an officer...... The Vietnamese army retreated like a tidal wave.

At this time, something that made the Vietnamese army even more helpless appeared...... The first trench was high in front and low in the back, and there was a difference in height between the front and rear trenches at least half a man's height, plus most of the parts that made up the trenches were slippery mud...... This thing is easy to come down and difficult to go back, rows of more devils tried to climb back with their hands and feet, but they didn't succeed several times, and they had to worry about whether bullets would hit them in the process......

There was no suspense in the battle now, and I even noticed that there were a few fighters next to me who were laughing while watching the funny appearance of the Yue Devil.

And then something unexpected happened to us...... When the Vietnamese army realized that they could not escape, they raised their hands and surrendered. At first, there were only a few people, and it didn't take long to develop into a large area...... Except for those who were knocked to the ground screaming and groaning, almost all of them raised their hands.

This is a little different from the Vietnamese army we know...... After thinking about it, I quickly understood that this Vietnamese army was trained by the Yankees, and the Yankees' combat style has always been that if they can't affect the situation of the war, they can choose to surrender...... I think this army was also influenced by the Yankees' thinking.

However, this seems understandable, considering that South Vietnam was mostly under the rule of the West, first France and then the United States...... The Western view is that there is no need to sacrifice lives if there is no way to change the tide of the war, and it is not surprising that these South Vietnamese troops have grown up in this environment.

"Company commander, what should I do?" Scar's inquiry came over the intercom.

At this time, I couldn't help but be stunned...... There were two platoons of these prisoners in front of them, not counting those who fell to the ground and were wounded, if this was a fake surrender or a riot or something...... We're going to run out of food and leave! Not to mention...... Even if they do nothing and surrender honestly, we don't know what to do with so many prisoners.

But what can be done? Do not accept surrender? If it's one or two, that's fine...... Such a large area of ......

After thinking about it, I shouted at the Vietnamese soldiers who had surrendered in Vietnamese: "Pile up your weapons, strip your clothes and come over!" ”

When the group of Yue devils heard this, they were obviously relieved, and when they saw that some of us could speak Vietnamese, they hurriedly shouted, "We surrender...... We surrender our guns! Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, don't shoot......"

There were many people in the Vietnamese army who could speak Chinese, but not South Vietnamese...... This is because while China and Vietnam were "comrades and brothers", South Vietnam was "comrades and brothers" with the United States.

So...... Some of them can speak English, but few of them can speak Chinese.

Then the Vietnamese army obediently piled up their weapons and equipment aside, and then they took off their essence and walked towards us......

"Prepare to receive prisoners!" I ordered Scar.

"Yes!" Scar replied, and then asked, "Company commander...... What to do with those weapons? ”

"Don't do it!" I said, "Send someone up and blow them up!" ”

"Yes!" Scar has no objection to my order.

And it was a pity for the reader to listen to it, and he persuaded on the side: "Company commander...... That's all American-style equipment! Hit far and accurate...... Just blew up ......"

"You know what?" Scar replied on the walkie-talkie: "We can't toss that Yankee's weapon, it's a burning stick in our hands!" ”

Scar is right...... I also wanted to get some American gear to play with, but reason told me it wasn't realistic...... This is not only because of the problem that American equipment is difficult to maintain, but more importantly, it is not compatible with our bullets.

So I finally pushed the temptation down. (To be continued......)
