After the "boom ......" round of artillery fire passed, the Vietnamese army's artillery fire was immediately suppressed.

Of course, the Viet Devil mortars were placed on the other side of the old hill and close to the anticline, so it was impossible for us to directly observe the scene of their bombing.

But even so, we can judge the losses of the Vietnamese army from two points.

One point, of course, is that the Vietnamese 150 mortars stopped bombarding the mortar positions of our troops.

If this kind of stop is a slow, batched and step-by-step stop, then perhaps the Vietnamese devil artillery is temporarily hidden under the counterattack of our army. But this was not the case, and this cessation of the Vietnamese army came to an abrupt end after the shells of our 100 mortars were fired.

Another point is to speak with facts, that is, soon after, our army's mortar units on the front line were again engaged in the battle, while the Vietnamese mortar units were never able to carry out large-scale counterattacks.

Of course, there were still sporadic counterattacks by the Vietnamese army, and there must have been many light mortars in the hands of the Vietnamese devil infantry. With this light mortar, we all know very well that it can be fired and transferred so fast that we simply don't have time to suppress it...... This is somewhat similar to the cold gun and cold artillery battle fought by our army during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

The situation faced by our volunteers back then was somewhat similar to that of the Vietnamese devils today, and they were also at an absolute disadvantage in artillery. Needless to say, the cold gun was used to use the Soviet-style Mosin Nagant to fight snipers, and cold artillery refers to the use of mortars to fight guerrillas.

The mortars here are, of course, light mortars, such as 60 guns, which are characterized by their low weight. Only twenty-five pounds. A shell weighs just over two pounds...... The Volunteer Army did not even use a bracket when operating such mortars. Grab it with your hand and hit a shot, turn around and run.

This trick caused great trouble for the Yankees at that time, because although they were much stronger than the Chinese volunteers in terms of artillery fire and even air power, they had no way to deal with this kind of guerrilla warfare.

Today's Yue devils have obviously learned this trick, because Chen Weihua's next few numbers reflect this: there are still a few 60 guns active in the direction of the Vietnamese army, and the coordinates of the activities are still frequently changed in small areas. Obviously, such a change is that the Vietnamese infantry is running with 60 guns.

But such a counterattack by the Vietnamese army could not cause us much trouble. After all, the Vietnamese army ran after the first shot, and although it was fast in speed, it did not have much accuracy, and it could be said that it was completely fighting blindly with a feeling without a target. And judging from the number jù. My preliminary judgment is that there are only about five of the 60 guns fired in this way, and there is no doubt that such a small-scale counterattack was unorganized, or it can be said that the Vietnamese infantry spontaneously vented their anger.

In other words, now we can basically say that we have suppressed the artillery of the Yue devils.

Later, I learned from the mouths of the captives that this round of bombing can be said to have stunned the commander of the Yue devils in an instant...... Originally, they thought that they would be safe behind the anticline, but they didn't expect that a sudden counterattack would destroy more than half of their heavy mortars. No matter how they thought about it, they could not understand how the telescopes of the Chinese soldiers could observe the mortar positions hidden behind the anticline.

So they thought of many possibilities, such as the presence of Chinese spies inside, and the infiltration of Chinese scouts into the territory with "new-style telescopes," but they did not expect that the "new-type telescopes" we used actually calculated the positions of their artillery positions based on the trajectory of their shells.

This time, the Vietnamese artillery no longer dared to act rashly, although at this time they still had some howitzers and mortars left. But this fool knows. If your own side is hit by the enemy's precision as soon as you open the artillery, there is no point in firing the artillery.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" The voice of Senior Commander Jiang soon came from the phone: "Good call." The artillery fire of the more devils is silent, happy! ”

"Divisional Commander!" I replied: "We have not yet achieved a complete victory, and I believe that some of the Vietnamese devils still have some artillery surviving, but they do not dare to open fire under the pressure of our artillery fire!" ”

"It's okay!" Division Commander Jiang replied: "If you don't dare to fire, it means that you don't have a ...... The cannon aiming radar thing is really fucking good, so that the devil has no power to fight back at all, and continues to fight hard! ”

"Yes!" I answered.

At this time, I actually felt in my heart that Division Commander Jiang's words were also correct, "If you don't dare to fire, you don't have any", which is just like on the battlefield, "the troops that cannot be put into the battlefield in time are equivalent to not participating in the war".

It was getting brighter...... In fact, the sky was already dawning, but in this more than an hour of artillery battle, the artillery of the enemy and us came and went, only the whole battlefield was filled with thick smoke, and even the sunlight could not penetrate it, so people had the illusion that the sky was not yet bright.

The artillery battle lasted until seven o'clock in the morning, and the sound of the artillery gradually subsided. After a few minutes of silence, several flares rose again in the sky...... This is the signal for the front-line infantry to charge.

But unlike before, there were no earth-shattering shouts of slaughter on the battlefield, and no groups of infantry were seen grabbing rifles and rushing towards the enemy's positions. In some cases, only small groups of PLA fighters alternately took cover to advance forward using the craters, and while advancing, they used firepower to test suspicious targets in front of them, and on the other hand, they carried out meticulous searches of the areas they passed.

Needless to say, why do you want to search, until now, we all know very well that the Yue devils are accustomed to using "reverse firepower", that is, hiding in cat's ear holes or hidden caves silently, until our army thought that there was no enemy passing by in this area, and then suddenly rushed out and shot at the back of our army.

It is unimaginable that this kind of "reverse firepower" sometimes causes damage to our troops, especially some of the "reverse firepower" that has been dormant for a long time is even more severe.

The so-called long incubation time refers to the fact that this kind of "reverse firepower" is not aimed at the infantry advancing on the front line of our army, but lies in the cave for several hours or even days.

It is conceivable that at this time, the front-line troops of our army had already advanced a long way and ran away, so when these Vietnamese troops "fought back firepower" suddenly appeared. What I encountered was our army's supply team, medical team, and even artillery that was following closely.

The so-called "once bitten by a snake for ten years, afraid of the well rope". In 79 years, the troops of our army who suffered the loss of the devils. Now, of course, the Vietnamese army will not be allowed to succeed so lightly.

Not to mention, the Vietnamese army is still using this tactic. Because in my binoculars, I can clearly see that many units of the infantry advancing forward have discovered the "reverse firepower" of the Vietnamese army.

Needless to say, what the result was after the discovery, explosive packs, blasting canisters and even flamethrowers beckoned inside one by one...... the cave used for "reverse fire" is not as complete fire and anti-explosion measures as the tunnel, it is often just a simple hiding place, so I soon saw the Vietnamese soldiers who were burned and screamed out.

However, I have to admit that the will to fight of the Vietnamese soldiers is quite amazing, because even those Vietnamese devils who are covered in flames. After they rushed out, they still hoped to die with one or two Chinese soldiers.

Of course, our army, which had been prepared for a long time, would not let them get their wish, and sent them to see Hades after a few gunshots.

"Boom", it didn't take long for the cannon to sound again.

However, the sound of cannon fire at this time was different from before...... In the previous bombardment, the vast majority of the artillery of the whole army bombarded the Vietnamese positions indiscriminately, but at this time, it was our artillery under the guidance of the infantry who consciously cleared some targets, such as some suspected minefields and barbed wire.

At the same time, mortar gunners on the heights of our army began to become active.

As planned, the task of these mortars was not to inflict any blow on the Vietnamese army, nor to provide fire cover for our troops, their task was simple, to attract as much fire as possible from the Vietnamese artillery.

So. These mortar gunners appeared in front of the Yue devils in a very arrogant manner...... THEY SET UP 82MM MORTARS WITH ALMOST NO COVER AND DID NOT SHIFT THEIR POSITIONS, JUST LIKE THAT, FIRING SHELLS AT THE OPPOSITE VIETNAMESE HEIGHTS.

THE REASON FOR THE CHOICE OF THE 82MM CALIBER MORTAR. IT IS THE RANGE OF THE 60MM CALIBER MORTAR THAT IS TOO SMALL TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR ARMY, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE ALTITUDE OF THE MAIN PEAK OF THE OLD MOUNTAIN IS 1422.2 METERS.

This gesture of our mortarsmen clearly angered the Yue devils, because I soon heard gunfire coming from the direction of Laoshan.

It's a pity that these mortars of our army are exactly deployed in the range of two to three kilometers from the Vietnamese army's heights...... This was measured in advance by artillery observers, and this distance exceeded the range of almost all guns, including sniper rifles and anti-aircraft machine guns.

For example, if the Vietnamese army uses several high planes to sweep in this direction, the bullet hitting the target can still cause casualties if it hits the target very occasionally. It's just that this also means that the firepower of the Vietnamese army is exposed too early, and it won't have much lethal effect, so I believe that the Vietnamese devils will not do this.

At this time, the Yue devils were obviously patient, because they were not stupid, and they knew that the purpose of our mortars demonstrating under their noses was to force them to take action.

But it is clear that there is a limit to the endurance of the Vietnamese army...... When our gunners fired a fire at the high ground of the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army finally couldn't bear it.

"Woo......" The whistling sound of long-lost shells came from the sky, and I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, the Vietnamese artillery finally struck.

"82 guns, five guns, four or two holes and two ...... of coordinates" Chen Weihua quickly reported the coordinates from the artillery sighting radar.

Needless to say, the shells of the Yue devils had not yet reached our positions, and the shells of our troops flew towards their mortar positions from all directions as if they were rushing to gather.

This time, dozens of shells fired by dozens of mortars at the same time flew to the target...... By this time, the preparation of artillery fire of our army had ended, and a large number of mortars of various calibers were idle.

Needless to say, the purpose of this fight is to worry that the Vietnamese mortars will quickly move around, so cover a certain range around the target with enough shells to see if you can run fast with two feet or our shells.

Therefore, with the artillery sighting radar, even if the Vietnamese army learns the cold artillery tactics of the volunteers, it will not play a big role. The solution is very simple, after we find a target, we hit not a point, but a surface.

If we fight like this, it is obvious that as long as our army has enough shells, it will be able to blow up the mobile guns of the Yue devils and even the 60 guns that swim quickly.

It's just that what I didn't expect was ...... Our artillery may have fought too quickly, because this time it immediately suppressed the Yue devils.

Even if the devils are no longer afraid of death, they will also think about a question in their hearts: these few shells will attract the Chinese soldiers to be covered by shells, and they are so accurate, isn't it almost like suicide to open fire? !

No matter how provocative our mortar gunners were, they even took a loudspeaker and scolded the opposite high ground in half-baked Vietnamese...... They all acted as if they had not heard or seen.

"!" Seeing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help scolding: "This Yue devil can really swallow this breath!" ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, it's not a question of whether I can swallow my breath, it's a question of whether I want to save my life.

This is something I didn't expect before, that is, under the patience of the Vietnamese army, my method of using mortars to attract the Vietnamese army is obviously useless.

But then again, it would be unrealistic to want to completely annihilate the Vietnamese artillery. Fortunately, we now have an advantage, that is, at any time, as long as the Vietnamese army dares to open artillery, we have the ability to destroy it in the shortest possible time.

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Pass my order and push a batch of cannons up!" ”

Zhao Jingping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he quickly understood what I meant, and turned around and conveyed my order.

My thought is: if the mortar is not enough, then the cannon should be more attractive! If the cannon can't get them to shoot, then I really can't help it.

Merely...... If the Vietnamese army really doesn't make a move, then what's the difference between it and nothing? They could only watch as our troops, with the coordination of infantry and artillery, knocked out their firepower one after another in a step-by-step manner.

Therefore, I believe that the Vietnamese artillery will still do it when they are forced to do so, otherwise this battle will not be fought, and they will simply withdraw from Lao Son. (To be continued......)
