Chapter 90: Half the Cliff

Wang Chunxiang had only withdrawn with his brigade for a few minutes, and I knew that the Vietnamese army had arrived.

This is a very strange feeling, I clearly did not hear or see any figure of the Vietnamese army, but I can inexplicably feel a burst of pressure and even creepy.

This may be what people often call the sixth sense, or a murderous aura coming from the direction of the Vietnamese army agents.

Whatever it was, I just knew that I had to do my own thing, so I hurriedly waved my hand and asked the Liang Company to step up the construction of fortifications.

Liang Lianbing was very smart, he did not concentrate all his forces on the mountain road to build a defensive line...... Although such a line of defense can also play a role in stopping the Yue Devils, it is obvious that the Yue Devils have found their target.

To put it simply, if we had built a defensive line with sandbags directly on the mountain road, the Vietnamese army would have quickly known where they were going to attack...... Unless we can wipe out the Vietnamese troops who rushed up on the road without falling behind, otherwise, as long as one Vietnamese soldier returns alive, we will tell the other Vietnamese troops what our army's defense line is and where it is, so that the next batch of Vietnamese attacks will be targeted.

Liang Lianbing didn't do this, after all, he is also a person who has followed me for so many years, and if he is stupid enough to do this, he is not worthy of being a platoon commander under me.

He dispersed his forces to the cliff on the side of the mountain road to build defenses.

The advantages of building defense in this way are very obvious, the most direct is condescending, which will take a great advantage in tactics, as I said before, condescending not only has a psychological advantage. The practical significance lies in the fact that more of the enemy's body can be seen from a high place. That is, the target is more obvious. On the contrary, the exposed area of his body is very small.

Another benefit is that positions can be changed at any time...... The topography of the cliffs is complex, with a boulder in some places, a stump in some places, and a cave in others. These places are high and low, far and near, and the soldiers can also change their positions at will, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp the key points of our army's defense. If we cannot grasp the key positions of our army's defense, we will not be able to make the Vietnamese army stronger.

Those are the two benefits that came to mind at the time. Later, I found out that in fact, the benefits are far more than these, for example, because our army is in a high place, which makes it very convenient for our army to throw grenades, while the Vietnamese army's grenades are almost no threat to our army because most of them will slide down.

The Vietnamese army did not attack immediately.

Of course, this is not the time for the Vietnamese army to find out the conscience and prepare for us.

I believe that at this time, the Vietnamese army agents have also discovered that we are guarding this "half of the cliff" and breaking off...... The Vietnamese army called this place "Half of the Cliff", which is very vivid, on the one hand, because the other half of this high ground is a cliff, and on the other hand, there is such a road in the middle of this cliff. If you want to say what kind of road this road is, I think "Banbi Road" will be more suitable.

In fact. The Vietnamese devils have long known that there will be such a dangerous place in front of us, and it is still a dangerous place that is not defended by the Vietnamese army.

The reason why this dangerous place will be undefended. That's because this is the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, and under normal circumstances, unless the Chinese soldiers launch another self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, there will be no war in this "half cliff". It can even be said that even if our army launches a counterattack, it will not fight this "half cliff", and a mountain road in the countryside for the supply of the Vietnamese army is not of much strategic significance to our army at all, and it is simply a waste to send troops to garrison here.

However, at this special moment, this "half of the cliff" played a role in determining the life and death of our army...... Without it, our entire force would probably be held back and unable to escape.

The Vietnamese army is also very aware of this, they are very familiar with the terrain in this area, they found that the focus is on the "half cliff" the moment we jumped out of the car and changed to walking, so on the one hand they were not in a hurry to chase us behind, they were worried that chasing us too quickly would force us to the "half cliff" faster, on the other hand, they sent a small detachment to bypass our army and go straight to the "half cliff", intending to seize this natural danger before us, so that we would be trapped in the jungle and unable to get out.

However, we were lucky, although we didn't know in advance that there was this natural danger, but we still reached and occupied this "half cliff" first.

This time, the devil will be embarrassed...... Do you attack immediately or not?

Let's attack, it's obviously a waste to use their elite agents to attack the natural danger.

The most taboo thing for special forces is to be treated as an ordinary unit to fight positional warfare, because this does not reflect the advantages of special forces, especially direct offensive natural hazards.

Perhaps, the special forces can play a role in the fight against natural dangers, but their role is also after the ordinary troops have a basic understanding of the enemy's deployment and a large amount of intelligence through the tentative attack, and then the special forces will take action to win the battle.

And now, it seems that this kind of tentative attack must be carried out by Vietnamese agents, which is obviously not cost-effective.

Don't attack, it means giving us plenty of time to escape...... After all, the ordinary troops of the Vietnamese army did not arrive so quickly, and if they arrived and then launched an attack, even if they were taken, it would not make much sense, because at this time it was very likely that they would not be able to catch up with the large forces of our army.

But I believe that in the end, the Vietnamese agents will still choose to attack.

This is not to say that the Vietnamese army agents are willing to do this, but the pressure from all sides makes them have to do it.

On the one hand, the pressure comes from us.

What if we are just bluffing on this "half-cliff"? If the Vietnamese agents do not attack, then it will be a waste of this great opportunity to attack and eliminate the Chinese special forces?!

On the other hand, the pressure comes from the Vietnamese army itself.

As the so-called "shadow of a person's name tree", the Vietnamese army's special forces have a transcendent status in the Vietnamese army just like our synthetic battalion in the Chinese army.

Most of the time this has a positive meaning, such as dignity and supplies, but sometimes it can also be burdened by this reputation, as now, if the Vietnamese army agents do not fire a single shot and only wait for the ordinary troops to come up and attack, it is easy to be stigmatized.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army agents not only have to fight, but also small fights...... Otherwise, when the ordinary troops come up and take a look, the famous Vietnamese army agents will also fight like this, so let the Vietnamese army agents still mix!

In fact, as I thought, it didn't take long for Vietnamese agents to launch an attack on the "half cliff" where our troops were stationed.

It's just that the Vietnamese agents are very cautious in their attacks...... The Vietnamese army should also be cautious, on the one hand, our army occupies a natural danger, and on the other hand, the Vietnamese army agents also know that they are facing the old opponent "synthetic battalion".

First of all, a few smoke grenades were thrown along the mountain road, and when the smoke filled the area around the mountain road, the more devils took advantage of the smoke and pressed against the cliff to touch in our direction.

It should be admitted that the more devils are very clever in this way of attacking, the smoke can make us unable to see the target clearly, and clinging to the cliff can minimize the chance of exposure.

But all these efforts were in vain, the mountain road was only a few meters wide in total, and even if we couldn't see the target clearly, just a random bullet into the smoke was enough to pose a threat to the Yue devils.

But of course we didn't, because there was a better way for us......

"Grenades!" I yelled.

A couple of grenades were quickly thrown......

The grenades thrown out by our agent company are not ordinary grenades, which is not to say that grenades are different from other people's grenades, in fact, grenades are exactly the same.

If there is a difference, it is indeed a little different, that is, the grenades used by our agent company have been strictly inspected, and each one is of guaranteed quality.

This is not to engage in "specialization", but because the tasks carried out by our special agent company are often "quick fights and quick withdrawals", and in this kind of "quick fight and quick withdrawal" missions, every minute and every second may determine the success or failure of the mission, so the requirements for weapons and equipment are very high...... If a few guns or grenades fail to explode during the mission, it may cause unnecessary casualties and even affect the success or failure of the entire mission.

So naturally, the equipment of our synthetic battalion was carefully selected, and after several process inspections, it was finally handed over to us...... There is no such treatment in ordinary troops.

But these are not the main ones, what matters is the tactics of the fighters in throwing grenades...... In a long battle, they had already estimated the time for the grenade to delay its detonation, and pulled the grenade and stopped it in their hands for a few seconds before throwing it.

It should be said that the average veteran can do this, in order not to let the grenade be thrown back by the enemy. But the Secret Service Company has taken this skill even further...... That is, the grenade was thrown out at the last second.

This is easier said than done, because the slightest miscalculation of the time is that the grenade could explode in the hand.

But the Secret Service Company did it anyway...... Their method is to pinch the watch again and again in training, and the more times they practice, they naturally form a kind of conditioned reflex, and every shot can be pinched on time.

The advantage of practicing this skill is that the grenade will explode above the target.

This is called "air explosion" by the fighters, which means to explode in the air.

It is clear that a grenade explodes in the air with much more power than it does on the ground...... Exploded in the air, the shrunnel scattered from the air like a goddess scattering flowers, and the devils couldn't hide even if they were hiding in trenches or craters.

The warriors had only been practicing this hand for a short time, and now was the time to use it. (To be continued......)
