Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Battle of Mount Faka (4)
As soon as the 10 helicopters came up, they were "booming" and heading towards position No. 3 with machine guns and rockets......
For helicopters, their worst enemy is the enemy in position three...... Because of the difference in altitude, the enemy on position No. 3 could directly threaten the side of the helicopter...... That's the biggest risk of our rappelling offensive.
But fortunately, the performance of our straight five is not good in all aspects, but the firepower that erupted in an instant is extraordinary...... Each helicopter carried two rocket nests and an anti-aircraft machine gun...... The ten helicopters had twenty rocket nests and ten anti-aircraft machine guns, which were fired at the same time...... Bullets and rockets rained down on Position 3.
Position 3 is so big...... Where will it withstand our indiscriminate bombardment, so there is simply no fire that can resist and threaten our helicopters.
The disadvantage of this trick is that it does not last for a long time...... It is important to know that the rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun and the rocket nest is quite fast, and the theoretical rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun reaches 500 to 600 rounds per minute, that is, it carries thousands of rounds of ammunition...... That is, it was done in a few minutes. Not to mention the Rocket Nest...... a burst of "whoosh" quickly emptied.
But that's more than enough time for us...... The reason is that only two people on each helicopter need to be rappelled to the ground to fight...... It takes about two minutes for ten people to descend, and it only takes more than ten seconds for two people to slide down!
However, this rappelling operation is not as simple as it sounds......
First of all, the helicopter must hover accurately over or near the Vietnamese lines...... Theoretically, hovering a little further back of the Vietnamese line would be fine, but it would give the Vietnamese some time to react. It is difficult to achieve the effect of a raid.
It's not easy to do that...... You must know that the road is in the dark at this time. Although night travel equipment is also installed on the helicopter. However, it is difficult to distinguish the enemy's position in a short period of time by relying on these relatively rudimentary equipment. Most of the time...... The pilot still relied on tracer bullets fired by ground troops or sparks from the muzzles of Vietnamese soldiers to determine the position.
This is definitely a problem for pilots...... On the one hand, they had to control the weapons to accurately suppress the Vietnamese troops on the No. 3 position, and on the other hand, they had to control the helicopters to accurately hover over the target...... This can almost be said to be something that can only be accomplished with three heads and six arms!
However, the pilots did it, and only one of the 10 helicopters was deviated from its target due to Vietnamese fire...... To be honest, even I was surprised by this result.
Later, I learned that it was not only the pilot's high level that was not only the pilot's level, but also that the ground troops led by Scar took the initiative to contact the helicopters and guide them on the ground...... For example, to the left, to the right...... So the combat effect is exceptional!
This may seem like a simple move, but it doesn't have to be a highly coordinated unit like the Synthetic Battalion...... The reason is that it was in the dark and there was smoke everywhere. It's good that the ground forces can barely see the helicopter, and it is simply impossible to judge which helicopter is working with them......
Zheng Liangqiang's approach is to use the fastest way to group helicopters...... For example, the two helicopters are responsible for which coordinates of the target, and in advance they get in touch with the fighters who are responsible for the guidance of the ground forces, so that the helicopters come up as soon as they come up...... A helicopter flying to this position is not wrong!
Then it's time to look at the performance of Li Zuolong and his subordinates......
As Li Zuolong gave the order, the soldiers slid from the helicopter to the target with their guns in hand...... Because the helicopter is hovering over or near the target......
As for whether it's nearby or over, it depends.
If the target is a traffic trench...... That's usually near a traffic trench...... The reason is that there is a high probability that there will be an enemy in the communication trench, and if the soldiers descend straight down, it is very likely that they will react and be killed by the enemy!
Conversely, if hovering near a traffic trench...... While the fighters were still sliding down in the air, they could throw one or two grenades into the traffic trenches. Then, as soon as your feet hit the ground, you can attack the traffic trench with a gun!
Needless to say, if the target is a firing point consisting of the mouth of the tunnel. Naturally, hovering over it...... At this point, the soldier who slipped down was holding a grenade or a small explosive bag that had already ignited the fuse...... If the bag is too large or heavy, it will be difficult to throw, and it will intentionally make the rope swing when the rope is dropped......
When they slipped above the mouth of the pit...... Riding the inertia of the rope swing, a grenade or explosives bag is thrown into the mouth of the tunnel......
So when their feet hit the ground, there was a desperate scream of the Vietnamese army at the mouth of the tunnel, followed by a bang.
Among them, Li Zuolong is the most beautiful...... Later, I heard from the soldiers who worked with him that he didn't even use the explosives bag, but instead hung an upside-down golden hook on the rope...... directly grabbed the AK74 and hung it upside down to the upper part of the mouth of the Vietnamese army's tunnel, and then "whooped" and fired a shuttle of bullets inside, and then turned over and rushed into the tunnel to kill the Vietnamese devils inside......
This is Li Zuolong's forte, he often feels that fighting with the enemy from a distance is not enjoyable, and likes to fight melee with the Yue devils...... The skills are good, and this kind of melee is actually what the Yue devils are most afraid of, and a pit is full of Vietnamese soldiers...... And it was still dark, and suddenly I don't know when Lu Dao broke into an enemy, so all the Vietnamese troops were stupid...... No one can tell whether they are friends or foes next to them, and this is not a shot, and it is not a ......
And what about Li Zuolong?
The only one who knows who is an enemy and who is a friend is only afraid of him...... Since he was the only one who broke in, it was obvious that ...... Whoever can stand is the enemy!
So it was a gun, a knife, and a hand...... Within a few minutes, the seven or eight Yue devils in the pit let Li Zuolong beat him down!
Of course, that's not the kind of offense I'm advocating...... It's just Li Zuolong...... I don't know how he used to be a monk, and his murderous intent seems to be very heavy...... But this murderous intent seems to be only against the enemy, just as he is also vulgar because he accidentally killed a robber.
In addition, the army really needs a few cadres with personality like him to take the lead...... Not to mention, with a platoon commander like him taking the lead, all the soldiers under him have become very brave, and they have learned some skills from Li Zuolong, the platoon commander, in their usual training, so the second platoon he led has become the best platoon in the special agent company in close combat, which is one of the reasons why I will arrange them as reserves.
Where had the Vietnamese army ever seen an offensive like ours, so it was only a few minutes...... This hidden line of defense has fallen into the hands of our army! (To be continued......)
