Chapter 164: Artillery Battle (3)

"Coordinates: 33, 9, 365......" I immediately heard Chen Weihua shouting a few coordinates at us, but this time he did not report the number of artillery.

So I soon learned that this time the number of artillery pieces had exceeded the maximum number of artillery sighting radars, that is, more than twenty. In fact, before Chen Weihua reported the coordinates, I had already judged this from the whistling sound in the sky, and after being on the battlefield for so long, I could already judge that this was the size of two artillery battalions, that is, about 40 howitzers.

I couldn't help frowning when I heard this.

This is not to worry that our artillery battalion will not be able to defeat the Yue devils, you must know that although the composite battalion has only 30 artillery pieces in the hands at this time, this number is certainly not as large as the artillery of the Yue devils, but because we have artillery sighting radar in our hands, we can immediately know the location of the Vietnamese artillery positions according to the trajectory, so even if the Vietnamese army has two more artillery regiments, we are not afraid.

But the problem is that we have positioned this battle as a skirmish...... And now it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

It's not surprising that there will be this phenomenon, the war, in fact, is that the hatred between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, such as this more devil...... I believe they never imagined that just a few mortar shells would eventually allow them to use a total of one artillery regiment.

But first of all, the mortar was accurately blown up by our army, and the Vietnamese army couldn't swallow this breath, so they used a battalion of artillery, but I didn't expect that the artillery of this battalion was quickly blown up by us, so they were even more unconvinced, and then increased their chips and used two artillery battalions.

This may be what is said in martial arts novels, "When is the time for retribution". So sometimes it's really hard to control this battle, and more often than not, when the head is hot, you throw as many things as you want.

Of course. At this time, as a commander, I had to keep a cool head, knowing that if I continued to fight like this, there was a high risk that the artillery radar would be exposed. Of course, the exposure here does not mean that the Vietnamese army is now capable of tracking our artillery radar, but will make the Vietnamese commander clearly feel the strong contrast between our artillery and the previous one and be suspicious.

So at this point, I'm actually ready to withdraw my troops.

But what I didn't expect was that the battlefield was a place that could easily get out of control, and it was a place full of surprises, and this place wasn't like I could do whatever I wanted.

"Battalion commander!"

Just when I was about to give the order to stop firing back...... It's not difficult to do that. Because the three artillery positions of our army were all transferred within a few minutes after the battle, even if the Vietnamese devil artillery could accurately hit our artillery positions at this time, there would be no threat to us, and we could withdraw at any time.

But at this time, the correspondent raised his head and reported: "The Vietnamese devils have blocked the retreat of our 2nd Artillery Company with artillery. At the same time, concentrated fire covered the positions of the second company of our artillery. ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, and then I realized that I had thought about this battle simply.

It should be said that this is a lack of consideration on my part, because the Vietnamese army is an expert in guerrilla warfare with artillery...... In this respect, our army is indeed inferior to the Vietnamese army, because our artillery has been much stronger than the Vietnamese army from the very beginning. Our artillery did not have to fight guerrilla warfare in many cases.

This is because the Vietnamese army is very familiar with the way artillery fights guerrillas. Therefore, they also have a unique method of dealing with artillery and guerrilla.

This method is like what we are encountering now: first use more than a dozen guns to block the retreat of our artillery, and it is not easy to do this, because the Vietnamese army must have a detailed military map of our army's territory in its hand, and then the Vietnamese artillery observers observe the position of our artillery positions from a high place, and mark the location on this map, and the Vietnamese commander allocates artillery according to this map and position, and successfully blocks important roads with artillery.

You must know that howitzers must be dragged on the road by car, which means that the transfer of artillery is also strictly dependent on the road. Once the road is blocked, the artillery will not be able to transfer.

Then, the rest of the Vietnamese artillery could bombard the suspected artillery positions of our army...... As long as there are enough shells to blow up this place. Even if the accuracy rate is not high, there will always be results.

So at this time I was faced with a new problem, if I still planned to withdraw according to the original plan, then the second artillery company was very likely to suffer heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered: "Order all artillery units to find suitable positions on the spot and prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent answered and immediately conveyed the order.

At this time, if you want to avoid losses, there is only one way to go, and that is to hurt the Yue devil artillery!

A few minutes later, the correspondent reported to me: "The troops are ready!" ”

"Fire!" At my command, the artillery of my artillery battalion roared again.

Of course, these artillery pieces, as before, were also fired at the Vietnamese artillery positions under the guidance of the artillery sighting radar, so those shells were fired at the Vietnamese artillery positions as if they had eyes.

This trick was really effective, and after only three rounds of artillery fire, the sound of artillery in the direction of the Vietnamese army was obviously much less.

"Pass the order on!" In order to avoid a recurrence of the situation just now, I ordered: "All artillery units are ready for battle on the spot, and they are not allowed to withdraw from their positions without an order until they hurt the Yue devils!" ”

"Yes!" The correspondent responded.

Staff Officer Wei immediately realized what I was going to do, so he immediately called the phone of the 40th Division......

I know why he pulled this call, artillery battles are a very shell-consuming battle, and our army's logistics supply at this time is completely dependent on the 40th Division, so of course let them send shells at this time.

Sure enough, I heard Staff Officer Wei yelling at the phone: "Send me two base shells to prepare immediately, move quickly!" ”

After doing this, everyone was waiting to see if the Vietnamese army would dare to shoot at us.

If the Vietnamese commander had been a wise man, he would have seen this artillery battle between us and the enemy look like this...... That is, an artillery regiment of the Vietnamese army made us silent, and the Vietnamese side even touched the hair of our artillery.

If there is really any "hair" to be touched, it is that one of the guns of the Second Artillery Company was smashed by shrapnel flying randomly, and the rest can be said to be intact.

From this point, it can also be seen how big a gap there will be in actual combat if you have the same high-tech equipment or if there is a generation difference between each other.

If the Vietnamese commander saw this, he should not continue this artillery battle, otherwise the further he fought, the greater his losses.

But we also know the temper of the devils, they have always refused to admit defeat on the battlefield...... It should be said that this point is also somewhat similar to our army, and most of the ace troops of the Yue devils are trained by China, so it is natural to have a little bit of the idea of a "spiritual atomic bomb". At this time, watching an artillery regiment be smashed like this, where will it stop there......

While we were waiting, the Vietnamese commander was hysterically yelling at his subordinates and telling them to hurry up and organize more artillery units to give the Chinese soldiers a little bit of power. What the Vietnamese commander couldn't figure out was that they obviously had the advantage in Lao Son...... At this time, the main peak of Lao Shan was still under the control of the Vietnamese army, and the main peak of Lao Shan was the highest peak in the vicinity.

The Vietnamese troops moved quickly, because after ten minutes we heard the whistling of shells in the air again. I immediately judged from the whistling that this time the Vietnamese artillery should have at least four battalions.

I couldn't help but smile, Wu Dengxiong and those guys have been holding back long enough, let them have a good time this time.

The shells that our troops returned fire quickly came back.

Although the number of artillery in our artillery battalion at this time was less than half of that of the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese artillery was fighting less and less, and finally we were beaten dumb again!

"Good!" As the sound of the cannon subsided, the soldiers let out a cheer again.

What we didn't know was that it was not only us who cheered at this time, but also the soldiers who were sticking to the front line and the artillery units of the 40th Division.

The soldiers on the front line felt the deepest, because they were right in the middle of the artillery positions of the enemy and us, and the shells were coming and going, and they were looking into the sky in the cat's ear hole.

Looking at the shells in our direction every time, although there are not many, they can always suppress the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army, so they are all a little inexplicable.

Among them, especially the artillery unit of the 40th Division, the second monk was even more confused...... The infantry is still non-professional, and it is also lively to watch it in the middle. The artillerymen, on the other hand, were nervously ready for battle, waiting for orders to help us.

To their surprise, they couldn't wait for orders to wait and wait...... Many of them are veterans with experience in artillery warfare, and as soon as they heard the whistle, they knew that the direction of our army was obviously in a weak position, and this was still a multiplier of weakness, but in the end, it was our side that still had artillery shells and the direction of the Vietnamese army was silent.

Of course, this is not that our army did not suffer any casualties at this time, in the last round of artillery battles, the Vietnamese army concentrated artillery to continue to cover the second artillery company of our army...... This approach should be said to be very clever, that is, to concentrate superior firepower to cripple the opponent.

As a result, the second artillery company suffered more than 20 casualties and two artillery pieces were damaged. (To be continued......)
