My set-up worked that evening......

From Chen Qiaoqiao, I know the Tao...... The Vietnamese army believed that it would be the least difficult to recover on the first night after the loss of the position, for a simple reason......

On the one hand, the enemy has just taken the position and has not gained a firm foothold, and the lack of a foothold here refers to the fact that the fortifications and defenses have not been perfected so quickly, the supplies have not been replenished so quickly, and the enemy has not yet been able to familiarize himself with the terrain of the position.

On the other hand, the enemy is newly victorious, and it is very likely that there will be a psychology of underestimating the enemy or being proud.

This is also the reason why the Vietnamese army often launched sneak attacks on the night when their positions were lost, and they were often successful...... Even if it doesn't work, it will put our army on the line.

This time will certainly not be an exception......

It was just to my surprise that we waited all night without seeing the slightest movement from the Vietnamese army, just when it was almost dawn when I thought I had misjudged...... The Vietnamese artillery suddenly launched a bombardment of Phaka Mountain!

"The Vietnamese army launched an artillery attack on our position! The Vietnamese army launched an artillery attack on our positions! Scar shouted at me from the walkie-talkie, "And some of them are heavy mortars...... The target of the attack is clear, covering the front and back slopes of Faka Mountain! ”

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, it seems that the Vietnamese army was preparing to occupy Phaka Mountain...... It is by no means just a hidden line of defense, judging from the fact that the Vietnamese mortars can accurately hit our army's anti-slope positions...... The Vietnamese army has already mastered the coordinates of our army's anticline plane clearly!

"Are there any casualties?" I asked.

This is what I am most concerned about, and at the same time what my superiors are most concerned about, and certainly not only because of the limit of 200 casualties.

"Not yet!" Scar replied, "We've got our cat's ears pierced before dark." The artillery attack of the Vietnamese army poses little threat to our army! ”

When I heard this, my hanging heart was half relieved. However, I then felt that something was wrong...... It is important to know that our army's artillery is much more than that of the Vietnamese army, both in terms of number and ammunition. How could the Vietnamese army be so unwise and risk being suppressed by our artillery fire to fire on such a large scale towards Pha Ka Mountain?

There are two possibilities for the Vietnamese army to fire artillery like this...... One is that their artillery is already fully prepared and confident that it will be able to suppress our artillery, so they do not worry about our artillery returning fire.

This is very unlikely...... This is not to say that the Vietnamese army cannot concentrate a large number of artillery in a short period of time, in fact, the artillery can be mobile by car, and a day can allow the Vietnamese army to concentrate enough artillery in this direction to engage in an artillery battle with our army.

The more important question is...... Artillery is easy to concentrate, but shells are not easy to transport...... And the more artillery you have, the more shells you need to store, otherwise you will run out of shells after a few shots...... This artillery is the same as not!

However, it is impossible for the Vietnamese army to store enough artillery in a short period of time to engage in a large-scale artillery battle with our army.

So there is only the second possibility......

The Vietnamese artillery is "fighting and concentrating with dispersion...... The so-called "scattering and concentrating" is to accurately grasp the coordinates of the target. Spread out your own artillery...... One door here and one there, and they all move their positions after a few shells...... But the target of these artillery pieces is only one, and that is Mount Faka.

And what we see in our eyes...... It's a very dense bombardment.

The benefits of this practice ...... It is good that our artillery does not know where to fight, because the artillery of the Vietnamese army is scattered, and it will frequently shift positions...... Therefore, even if our artillery is stronger than the Vietnamese army, I don't know where to put my mouth down!

"Battalion commander!" My thoughts were quickly confirmed, and Zhao Jingping immediately reported to me: "The news from the artillery is that the Vietnamese artillery is scattered to fight the Fakha Mountain......

"Hmm!" I nodded.

It is not surprising that the Vietnamese artillery would use this method, but the point is ...... Why would you go to such lengths to do this?

After thinking about it, I asked Scar on the walkie-talkie: "Second company commander...... Send a few people to scout and see if there are any sneak attacks from the devils! ”

"Yes!" Scar answered.

It is not difficult to do this...... When we build fortifications, we will build several communication trenches that lead to the hilltop position or a place with an open line of sight. Even if the Vietnamese army launches a large-scale artillery attack...... As long as these trenches are not blown up by shells, our soldiers can always send a few people outside to observe the enemy's situation.

After a while, I heard Scar scolding at the other end: "it! Battalion commander...... The more devils really came up. These artillery pieces are for them to cover! ”

As I expected...... In fact, these artillery pieces were not only used to cover the Vietnamese army, but also had the intention of clearing mines in front of the Vietnamese infantry.

But I really didn't expect the Vietnamese army to launch a sneak attack in such a way...... A sneak attack is meant to be sneaky, isn't it? How can there be a reason to warn the enemy of a cannon first!

But it's not surprising when you think about it...... The commander of the Vietnamese army knew that the quality of our army was not ordinary, so he would definitely expect that they would launch a sneak attack tonight, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to give up such a good sneak attack opportunity on the first night...... So it was just a sneak attack!

Moreover, they will choose to launch a sneak attack when the sky is about to dawn...... Perhaps with the same idea as us, once they can sneak up on it, then they will have a day's time to defend.

The reason why this offensive of the Vietnamese army is called a sneak attack again...... That's because it's different from an ordinary attack, this array of artillery is not to provide fire cover for the Vietnamese army, but completely for the Vietnamese army to clear mines and hide their figures!

It's not ......

When the sound of the cannon has subsided a little...... Scar pulled the soldiers to the top of the hill to prepare for defense, but when he set up his gun and looked down, there was nothing on the position except for the craters from the shells and the smoke of gunpowder, and the Vietnamese army seemed to have disappeared in front of us.

At this time, I knew what the concealed defense line that the Vietnamese army had laid out before was used for...... If the devils follow the artillery like this, and then hide in the hidden defense line...... I'm afraid that it will be like a time bomb installed in front of our position, which may explode at any time.

But even if the hidden line of defense was broken and destroyed by our army...... At present, this tactic of the Vietnamese army still gives us quite a headache, because we don't know where those Vietnamese devils are hiding, they may be close at hand, or they may have taken advantage of the smoke and darkness of artillery to go around behind us......

But this is not difficult for Scar...... After all, Scar is also a person who rolled out of the battlefield in Vietnam, in fact, every soldier in the secret service company is.

So the next second...... Scar immediately left a few observers and snipers behind, and then gathered the rest of the troops back into the cat's ear hole or the tunnel.

At this time, the most taboo is that there are too many troops outside...... Because the Vietnamese army is still fighting an infiltration war, the difference is only that this time they are openly using artillery fire as a means of cover in an attempt to quickly infiltrate our army's position.

I think...... At this time, another unit of the Vietnamese army was already ready to attack at the foot of the mountain, and once their infiltration war was effective, then they would immediately launch a full-scale attack, and then our army would be in a situation of internal and external troubles!

This tactic of the Vietnamese army seems to be a bit new...... But in fact, it is still a change of soup and not a change of medicine, but this is not to blame them...... If you don't have air power, only infantry...... Those old tactics that come and go. And these old tactics ...... It was also because they had fought for decades with the Japanese, French, and American armies, and they could not develop...... Because it can almost be said that it has developed to the extreme, and no matter how much it changes, it can't change anywhere!

From this point of view...... On the contrary, it is a unit like our Chinese soldiers, who does not have much combat experience and does not have much tactical accumulation, to bring forth the new.

In the past, the quality of our army was poor...... So the starting point is low, and the low starting point will naturally lead to progress, plus this is a battlefield of life and death...... Each of us is learning to survive, so the development of our army can be said to be the same day by day.

Even because our army started from scratch, the tactics summed up are often more suitable for the current battlefield, while the Vietnamese army cannot overturn the tactics that have been used for decades...... The further back in this battle they fought, the more backward their tactics became.

This is indeed how history has developed...... At the end of the battle, many people could not understand why when our army had powerful artillery, the Vietnamese army was still using the tactics of crowds to rush into the wall of fire blasted by our artillery with AK47s...... In fact, this is only because the Vietnamese army has decades of combat experience, which has brought them benefits on the battlefield, but also made them unable to innovate in tactics.

So there are two sides to everything...... Good quality has the advantage of good quality, and poor quality also has the advantage of poor quality.

But none of this is what we need to think about right now, we just have one thing on our minds right now...... That's to knock out the enemies in front of you!

Scar's approach is clearly right...... As soon as our army gathered its forces like this, the Vietnamese troops who were hiding in the shadows lost their goals...... If our army had a group of people gathered on the hilltop position, then the Vietnamese army would only need to infiltrate the hilltop position, but now ...... They had to go to the anticline one by one to look for the cat's ear holes, and in the middle of it they had to worry if there was an eye staring at them in the shadows, if a gun was aimed at them, or even if a bullet was about to hit their heads......

To put it simply, it's Scar's command...... It was easy to change the situation of the enemy and the darkness and the darkness of the enemy, and the current situation of the enemy and the darkness of the enemy.

As for why you want to leave a few snipers and observers on the hilltop position...... That is the fear that the Vietnamese army will attack when we pull our troops down the hilltop position! (To be continued......)
