Chapter 57: Grenade Launchers

Assault rifles, general-purpose machine guns, rocket launchers, mines, mortars...... There are also so many weapons and ammunition that I can't name, and I am just dazzled by them.

The few warriors who came up with me only saw that their eyes were straight...... For those who fight on the battlefield, advanced weapons and equipment are attractive, but those mountains of gold and silver in the eyes of ordinary people are no different from dung to us...... This can't be eaten and can't save your life, what's the use of using it? Instead, it's piles of weapons and ammunition...... In our eyes, it is a treasure.

"Company commander!" The reader looked a little strange: "The garrison of the Yue devil on this 581 high ground is only a company...... How can you store so many weapons and ammunition here? ”

When the reader said this, I found out that it was really ...... The weapons and ammunition here are also a base number of regiments, and the Vietnamese troops on the 581 heights could not use so much ammunition.

"Perhaps...... The more devils use this cave as a temporary arsenal for the Fifth Infantry Division! I picked up an M16 and played with it a few times and said, "You know...... The bridge opposite the 581 Heights is the bottleneck of the Vietnamese army's logistical supply, and the Vietnamese army is only afraid that the bridge will be blown up by our army, and on the other hand, in order to ensure the ammunition of the Fifth Infantry Division...... So I was in a hurry to transport the ammunition across the bridge, so I had to find a cave to store it temporarily! ”

"That's what the company commander said!" The scholar nodded, "That bridge was originally a stone bridge, but now it is a temporary wooden bridge...... If it weren't for the fact that on the anticline, a couple of shells would have been blown off. The more devils are smart...... It's just that being smart was mistaken by being smart, and they never thought that this batch of ammunition would fall into our hands! ”

"Huo Huo Huo ......" At this time, Li Zuolong hugged a big guy and let out a burst of admiration: "Company commander...... Let's see what this thing is? There are five of them. It's like a cannon and not like a cannon. ...... like a gun and not like a gun"

I walked over to look at the ...... Fuck grenade launchers too! I don't know what the exact model is...... Later, it turned out that it was actually the MK19 automatic grenade launcher...... I've seen this thing a few times in the movies. It's the kind that fires grenades like machine guns and then explodes in the enemy.

"Grenade launchers?" Li Zuolong and the scholar couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this name.

You must know that China did not begin to copy Soviet grenade launchers until the 80s, and the fighters at this time, of course, did not know what this thing was......

"It......'s a bit like a mortar, except that the caliber is smaller, and the explosive power of a single shot is not large, but it can be fired in bursts like a machine gun!" ”

"What?" When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Mortars that can fire in bursts?" The reader said, "Then the firepower of this thing is still there?" ”

"That's it!" Li Zuolong also said excitedly: "This burst of strafing has passed...... Who's going to rush up? ”

Xiao Shi touched the grenade launcher curiously, and said, "Then the Yue devil has this thing, and Weishenme doesn't use it against us?" It's still in this cave waiting for us to pay ......."

"Maybe it's because I haven't had time to use it soon after!" The reader replied without thinking about it.

"It's not!" I said, "The reason is that our position is on the anticline, and the trajectory of this thing is relatively straight." Just like a tank gun, it doesn't come in handy! ”

"Oh!" As soon as I said this, it dawned on the fighters.

But...... Just because the devils aren't useful doesn't mean we're useless...... I soon realized that this was most likely a weapon that we would be able to hold on to Heights 581 during the day, so I immediately shouted to a few artillery observers who were not far away who were attacking mortars: "Marx! ”

"Here!" Marx immediately trotted in front of me.

"You can learn to use these weapons in half an hour!" I pointed to the five grenade launchers in front of me and said, "Test firing can be carried out if necessary, but be careful of concealment!" Once you know how to use it, teach other warriors how to use it...... I'll give you guys a platoon of cannons later! ”

"Yes!"

Marx answered, casually glancing at the grenade launchers, and then his eyes quickly widened as big as lanterns... He's an artilleryman, and he's an experienced artilleryman, and you can tell how powerful it is by looking at the construction of this thing and the ammunition used.

"Company commander!" At this time, the correspondent Xiao Liu greeted me with a lot of things.

I walked over and took a look...... All right! It is a single soldier radio used by the U.S. military...... We've really found a treasure this time!

Some people may wonder...... Why are the devils transporting so many M16s, mortars, and even individual radios? Especially this M16, isn't the more devil this aesthetic mechanic in his hands?

It's actually about the reliability of American-style equipment, as I said before...... American equipment because of the pursuit of precision. Therefore, the gap between the parts is very small, and if the gap is small...... Then once it gets in, a grain of sand or dirty water is contaminated. It's very likely that it will jam or malfunction, so ...... Fighting in such a hostile environment as Vietnam requires a large number of guns to be replaced. That's what we're seeing now...... All kinds of firearms and all kinds of ammunition, so to speak, everything!

At this time, there were suddenly bursts of fierce gunfire outside the tunnel, followed by the report of the Liang Company soldiers: "Company commander...... The reinforcements of the Yue devils fell into our ambush, and the number of people is not clear...... There will be no less than one company! ”

"Need reinforcements?" I asked.

"No, you don't!" Liang Lianbing replied: "The Yue devil was caught off guard by us and has already retreated!" ”

"Good!" I said, "After defeating the Yue devils, you will go up the mountain to organize defense!" Watch out for mines on the road! Lay some mines when you come up! ”

"Yes!" Liang Lian's soldiers responded and went into battle.

It seems that the Vietnamese devils are in a hurry, otherwise with the quality of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Vietnamese Army, they should not have broken into the ambush area of our army so recklessly.

But this doesn't seem surprising...... Any force that knows that its ammunition depot has been raided and that the high ground that could threaten its logistical supply lines has been seized...... That's not to blame.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, and we did get a big bargain this time, and it can be said that we hit the seven inches of the Vietnamese army, but it is precisely because of this...... The Vietnamese army will do whatever it takes to wipe us out.

"A long line! Deputy Company Commander ......" I shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Come to the cave in the middle of the mountain for a meeting!" ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for Scar and Zhang Zuoliang to arrive, and as soon as they entered the cave, they were attracted by the piles of ammunition under the flashlights......

I waved for the readers to come up too, then handed everyone an M16 and said, "We always thought we couldn't keep it during the day...... With this pile of ammunition it becomes possible, but ...... If we want to defend it, we will definitely not have enough ammunition, so is there a problem in finding a way for the soldiers to learn to use this Yankee guy? ”

"No problem!" A few unanimous answers.

What makes me wonder is Scar's reaction...... Scar used to say that this M16 is a burning stick for us, but now he doesn't think about it and answers that it's no problem......

Looking at my puzzled gaze, Scar replied, "Company commander...... I fought in the troops of the Vietnamese devils, and I know a little about this M16...... Even if we got this gun at that time, it wouldn't take a mile, because this thing has a high fault, and it didn't take two hits to get a problem, so if we really use this gun well...... You have to be able to disassemble and assemble, and you can maintain, which has to be trained for a month to figure it out! ”

"And now?" I asked.

"Now?" Scar raised his head at the mountain of weapons in front of him and said, "There are so many guns piled up there...... If something goes wrong, change it! If you don't need to maintain it, you can shoot a gun...... That's not easy! ”

There is some truth to what Scar says, and our mission is only to hold the high ground for one day...... We don't need to fully understand the M16, so if we only need to be able to play...... Isn't that the upper magazine puller bolt and buckle machine......

"Company commander!" The reader answered: "I think it's best to prepare two guns, use the M16 when the enemy is far away, this thing has a long range, and then use our own when the enemy is near!" ”

"That's not good!" I said, "Two guns and two ammunition, and when you start fighting on the battlefield, it's likely to be messy!" ”

"Yes!" Scar nodded and said, "Especially the recruits...... As soon as you get nervous, where will you divide which gun and which kind of ammunition, and then I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses! ”

"But 56 and a half can be replaced with M16!" I said: "There are also some recruits and fighters who use 56 and a half, which has a slow rate of fire and weak firepower, and does not have as far as the M16...... It just so happens that we're also going to have a cannon battery, I mean...... Gather the fighters who use 56 and a half into the machine gun company, and let them learn to use the M16 and grenade launchers...... At the same time, ammunition can also be saved for other troops, so that there will be no problem of ammunition confusion, and we can also appropriately enhance the firepower of our army! ”

"No problem!"

"No comment!"

……

"Besides......" I said, "each platoon will also send a few M16s for the soldiers to learn to use, and our ammunition will always run out." When you run out of ammunition, it's time to use the M16! ”

"Hmmm! Two for each shift! Zhang Zuoliang said: "Let the soldiers practice their hands when they are free!" ”

"Zuihou is a landmine!" I pointed to the pile of mines in the corner of the cave and said, "The devils have sent us so much ammunition, we have to send them some back!" Consider the landmines as kickbacks for them! ”

There was a laugh in the cave. (To be continued......)
