Chapter 9 Artillery Observers (3)

The Vietnamese army that appeared in front of us was only one company......

At first, I thought we could easily deal with it, after all, we were prepared, and this unit of the Vietnamese army was actually caught between us and the 168th Regiment.

However, it didn't take long for me to learn that the Vietnamese army was not so simple.

"Company Commander Luo!" In the sound of gunfire, the deputy division commander shouted to Company Commander Luo: "A large number of Vietnamese pursuers appeared behind the 168th Regiment, and the preliminary judgment is that it is the main force of the Vietnamese army!" ”

So I soon learned that the 168th Regiment was actually being attacked by the Vietnamese army on both sides, and it was difficult to carry out an effective counterattack because of the illegal deployment of troops on the road. What's more...... Who knows if there are any artillery observers among these pursuers of the Vietnamese army, and if there are, it seems that they only need to call in long-range artillery fire to bombard the 168th Regiment.

In other words, the soldiers of the 168th Regiment can't wait now, let alone fight!

Of course, the deputy division commander also knew this, and immediately shouted into the walkie-talkie: "All of them!" Speed up the bridge ......"

Company Commander Luo also ordered loudly: "Fight!" Hit the ...... hard Cover the retreat of the 168th regiment! ”

At this time, of course, the soldiers knew what Company Commander Luo meant, so they did not hesitate to pull the trigger and shoot pieces of bullets in the direction of the Vietnamese army...... On the one hand, we have a lot of ammunition with us, and on the other hand, the engineering units have also brought us their ammunition.

Moreover, the purpose of our battle is to cover the retreat of friendly forces, so we will wait for a while if we don't fight...... One by one, the soldiers frantically pulled the trigger and slammed at the Vietnamese army, and the magazines were hit one after another. The barrels of all guns were fiery red.

Luckily, we had a Soviet-made AK47 in our hands. If it's our own Type 56 submachine gun...... It's no wonder that there is no malfunction after such a slam of punches. What's even more terrifying is that the 56 submachine gun still has the appearance of an exploding chamber...... It is said that the barrel or body of the gun was overheated, and the bullet exploded in the gun before it could be fired.

It is also for this reason that the Type 56 submachine gun has to cool down for a few minutes after firing several magazines in a row...... A few minutes, the fighters on this battlefield are often fleeting, and sometimes a few seconds can decide the outcome of a war, let alone a few minutes. This is also the weishenme on the battlefield...... Many fighters armed with Type 56 submachine guns often have an extra one in case they need to replace them.

This, of course, will affect the continuity of fire to a certain extent. But we don't have to worry about this, the Soviet-style AK47 grabbed the bullet in the hand and hit it happily. The dense rain of bullets weighed down the Vietnamese troops who could barely raise their heads.

However, the Vietnamese army still divided some firepower to block the road. This made the retreat of the 168th Regiment still slow, and what was even more terrifying was ...... Several more violent explosions sounded near us.

Test firing of long-range artillery fire of the Vietnamese army...... When I saw this, my heart sank, and it was obvious that the Vietnamese army on the opposite side had artillery observers, not only that, but now they were active again.

I still want to find them like last time, but I can't do it, so I can only watch their next test shot......

It's just that to my surprise, the Vietnamese army's test firing this time seemed to be very chaotic, and this shot and that shot fired several shells were transferred back and forth for a long time, but they were not transferred to the road.

Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers of the 168th Regiment rushed forward desperately at an accelerated speed under the order of the deputy division commander, so they rushed through the danger zone very smoothly.

In the end, the long-range artillery of the Vietnamese army did not come up. The reason for this...... Maybe the devil knows that the artillery fire can't catch up with the 168th regiment.

In terms of the entire battlefield, the Vietnamese army in the use of artillery. There is also a very skillful and tacit understanding in the coordination of the infantry artillery. For example, the previous artillery observers knew that they would shoot a little in advance, and then the infantry would cooperate with the blocking in real time, so that they could intercept the enemy as much as possible and bomb within a predetermined range, so as to achieve the purpose of killing and injuring the enemy in large quantities.

But here's what makes me weird...... How could the artillery correction after the Vietnamese army become so unprofessional, can it be said that it is a novice in the artillery of the Vietnamese army? But it seems unlikely, such an important battle, such an opportunity to kill and wound our army, how could the Vietnamese army let a novice artillery observer come up?

Thinking about it, watching the soldiers of the 168th Regiment pass the road under our feet without danger, the soldiers and I were still relieved.

However, we soon faced a more dire situation......

The Vietnamese army followed the ranks of the 168th Regiment all the way up, and after a while it was like magic: in the woods, in the grass, on the road...... There are more devils everywhere, and the mountains and fields are like ants, and we can see that our scalps are numb one by one.

It is conceivable that the Vietnamese army spared no expense in order to create a false impression of a "counteroffensive" for the country.

The Vietnamese troops were only stunned when they found out that we had occupied this high ground, but they quickly launched an attack on us in the next second. It was like a tidal wave, swooping down on us from the front, the left, and the right......

What's even more terrifying is that we can't retreat at this time, firstly, because the soldiers of the 168th Regiment are crossing the bridge behind us, and we have not yet reached the time to retreat. The other is because the bridge is also crowded at this time, and we can't retreat even if we want to. So I can only hold on here.

"Cave turn, I am a cave!"

When I heard Company Commander Luo's call, I knew that he was going to call for long-range artillery fire, because "Dong Gui" was the code name for the artillery observer.

Sure enough, in the next second, I heard Luo Lian shouting: "Provide us with artillery cover immediately, repeat, provide us with artillery cover immediately!" ”

But...... Will it be too late to call for artillery fire at this time?

The Vietnamese devils have already poured into our high ground one after another, and when the artillery is ready, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army will already rush up and get together with us.

However, to my surprise, as soon as Company Commander Luo's voice fell, the whistle of the shell sounded......

"Woo......"

To be honest, the screeching sound of the cannonball can be very uncomfortable, partly because the cannonball can bring death at any time, and partly because when the cannonball is from far to near, the change of the whistling sound will become more and more sharp and harsh, and sometimes I will feel depressed and want to vomit when I hear this sound.

But now, I think the whistle of the cannonball is a beautiful piece of music. Because it is obvious that this is the time when the Vietnamese army is charging at our army on a large scale, so the artillery coverage at this time cannot be the Vietnamese army.

Of course, it is not the Vietnamese army, but of course it is our army, so these shells actually bring us hope for life.

Sure enough, soon after the sound of the artillery, the shells exploded in the enemy's position...... The accuracy of the artillery landing point was a little unbelievable to me, almost blasting a barrage around a few hundred meters around our high ground. Of course, the only thing missing is the direction of the rear stone bridge.

I couldn't help but wonder when I watched the shells explode at the Vietnamese army quickly and accurately, throwing the Vietnamese army into the air in pieces...... How did the artillery of our army come so quickly? How could you hit it so accurately?

Just as the Vietnamese artillery observers needed to test fire and then make several corrections to achieve the effect of more haode shelling, our artillery fire also needs such a process, right? Although I know that artillery can also be guided by artillery sighting radar, our army is not equipped with this thing at this time, right?

Later, I learned that in fact, all this was done by Marx.

Didn't the artillery observers of the Yue Devil have always adjusted and couldn't correct the artillery fire before? That's when Marx actually got his hands dirty.

According to Marx's words, artillery has the fighting method of artillery.

The first time the Vietnamese artillery conducted a test firing under the guidance of an artillery observer, he was alert, but he was not prepared for the time constraints. Fortunately, the Vietnamese artillery observers were knocked out by me in time and did not pose a threat to our troops.

After that Marx was prepared, and it was the habit of artillery observers to be prepared for it...... So he immediately contacted the artillery in the rear and got ready.

Sure enough, then the Vietnamese army began to test fire again, and this time Marx used our artillery shells to interfere......

Vietnamese army observers have to make corrections according to the landing point of the shells, right? But if a couple of shells explode in different places at about the same time, well...... The ghost only knew which shells were fired by his own people and which shells were fired by the enemy, so there was no way to correct them!

However, Marx could correct it, because he had made an agreement with the artillerymen in advance to let the three guns shoot in three directions at the same time, so that only the shells of the Vietnamese army in that direction were eliminated...... The rest is the three landing points of their own artillery shells, and then according to these three landing points, they quickly calculate the correction of Haode Zhuyuan, so as to interfere with the Vietnamese army's test firing at the same time, and achieve the purpose of correcting their own artillery fire.

So, when Company Commander Luo called for artillery cover, those shells fell on the heads of the Vietnamese army quickly and accurately, successfully blocking the momentum of the Vietnamese army's charge.

It should be said that these artillery fires played a very important role, because there were only a few dozen people on our high ground, and the Vietnamese troops poured in from three sides...... It is conceivable that if it weren't for the timely explosion of these artillery fires, I am afraid that the Vietnamese army would have knocked down our high ground with a single charge, and then it would have been able to pursue the 168th Regiment that was crossing the bridge, and even forced the sappers to blow up the stone bridge to prevent the Vietnamese army from passing.

Therefore, this artillery fire can be said to have saved our lives, but the Vietnamese army did not retreat, but continued to rush forward in groups and groups......

I know that they want to break through the blockade of artillery fire and get tangled with us, and then our artillery fire will not work. (To be continued......)
