Chapter 148: Armored Vehicles (2)

The armored vehicles soon drove out one after another along the road in the mountain pass......

In total, we have only ten armored vehicles...... Nine of them were nine squads of the second company, and the other was my command car. Scar shares a ...... with his warriors The reason for this is that all the command staff and communication equipment are not in the same command vehicle, so that in the event that the command vehicle is destroyed by the enemy or something happens, Scar and his walkie-talkie can serve as a link with other troops.

The armored vehicles were divided into five groups, each of which drove side by side, and quickly drove out of the col...... Vietnamese artillery is still bombing, and the sky has turned dark, so the visibility is very poor...... However, the advantage of an armored car is that it is not as clumsy as a tank, nor is it as sensitive to the outside world as a tank.

For example, in terms of external perception...... There are two observation holes on the left and one on the right at the front of the armored car, one of which is for the driver, and the other is for the commander, who usually observes the external situation according to this observation hole and gives orders according to this situation.

Of course, we can be regarded as an improvised patchwork of armored troops, and even the drivers are car drivers drawn from the sappers, and of course there is no such thing as a commander, so this observation hole is naturally used by the squad leader.

Plus there is a small turret on top of the armored car...... ALTHOUGH THE TURRET IS CALLED A TURRET, IT HAS NO GUNS, AND IS ARMED ONLY WITH A 14.5MM HEAVY MACHINE GUN AND A 7.62MM PARALLEL MACHINE GUN.

This is very useful for us, because the observation hole of the armored vehicle is very small, and the range that can be observed is very limited. Especially in this situation where visibility is relatively poor and you dare not turn on the headlights, it is difficult to drive.

But this problem was quickly resolved. The solution is to have the armored vehicle guided by the fighters on the turret...... We've been trained in this area before. Therefore, the fighters were naturally able to control it easily, so the driver cooperated with his observation in the observation hole, and easily maneuvered the armored vehicle to advance in the designated direction.

Starting a stretch of road is arguably the most dangerous...... Because from the mountain pass to the 518.6 heights, it is covered by Vietnamese artillery fire, but fortunately, we are driving fast armored vehicles, and the main target of Vietnamese artillery bombardment is not the mountain pass...... So the drivers stepped on the accelerator to the end, and with a "boom" sound, they quickly passed through the danger zone.

There was little damage to all ten armored vehicles in Zuihou, except for the one in Scar, which was broken by shrapnel and wounded one fighter...... On the other hand, this shows that the armor protection of 5 to 9 mm is relatively poor, but this seems to be normal. Shrapnel is inaccurate...... Shrapnel is the fragments of the shell, which is naturally in various shapes, so sometimes it is very dull, and such shrapnel has no penetrating power, and some sections will be as sharp as a blade, plus the speed of the shell explosion...... It's not surprising that it will penetrate the armor of armored vehicles.

This reminds me of a documentary I watched in modern times about a hurricane in the United States, and this thing blew up...... Because it's so fast, you'll be able to see the cards insert into the wall like daggers...... Solitaire can do that, not to mention shrapnel from artillery shells.

Then the armored troops turned around and smoothly entered the Banwang area...... In other words, the speed of this armored car is really fast enough. In particular, it also has four pairs of wheels underneath, plus a more advanced suspension. So even on potholes, it's quite stable...... Later I learned that the BTR60 can reach a maximum speed of 80 yards, which is of course still far behind the speed of modern cars, but it is much faster than the top speed of the tank at 50 yards.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Scar came from the front with a message: "There may be mines laid by the enemy in this vicinity......"

When Scar said this, I couldn't help but feel nervous...... Oh, yes! When Jihua was formulated, it was not expected that the Yue devils might lay mines between the positions of the two armies...... The armor of the armored car, perhaps, can not be afraid of infantry mines, but that tires ......

Besides, this devil might even plant anti-tank mines!

After thinking about it, I ordered Scar, "Advance as close to 518.6 as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered and directed the armored troops to turn the corner......

My thoughts are...... The Vietnamese army was going to attack the 518.6 heights, so even if they wanted to lay mines, they would not deploy near the 518.6 heights...... If you do this, you're getting yourself in trouble!

Sure enough, it was just as I thought...... The armor-piercing troops smoothly advanced at full speed from east to west, and in less than ten minutes, they crossed the back of the 518.6 heights and came to a valley mouth......

At this time, the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army also stopped, so I knew...... The Vietnamese offensive will soon begin, that is, the Vietnamese armored units will soon enter Tongmian.

"Report to the battalion commander!" At this time, I heard the report of the scar in front: "Vietnamese army fortifications have been found ahead...... There are also many devils, and there is a company in Daqi, please instruct! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a big head...... How could you encounter the infantry of the Yue devils here, is it better to fight well or not?

Let's fight...... Maybe we can defeat the Vietnamese army in front of us, but we will also have to pay a heavy price, because we are all armored vehicles, that is, there is no cover of tanks and no cover of infantry (the infantry will stop when they get off the armored vehicles), not to mention that even if we can rush through smoothly...... It would also be difficult to achieve the purpose of a surprise attack on the Vietnamese army's armored units.

Don't fight...... Now it seems that I can't get out again.

That is, we are actually in a dilemma right now!

But soon the problem was solved completely unexpectedly...... Before I could answer, Scar whispered to me on the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, the devils are waving their flags and blowing whistles at us, as if they are directing us through!" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Let the soldiers calm down, don't shoot or speak, and move forward according to the instructions of the Yue devil!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered and passed my order.

In this way, the soldiers in the command car were dumbfounded...... passed with such a swagger under the guns of the Yue devils...... This is the first time!

Besides, what can the 5 to 9 mm armor of an armored car do...... THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT MACHINE GUN CAN PENETRATE 20MM STEEL PLATES, AND OUR ARMOR CAN EVEN PENETRATE HEAVY MACHINE GUNS...... Not to mention that the more devils still have bazookas and the like in their hands, that is...... Once we are recognized by the Yue devil, there is no doubt that it is a dead end!

But there is a saying that "courage can make things happen", and I think this sentence is especially applicable on the battlefield...... Because even the Yue devils didn't expect the Chinese soldiers to be so bold and dare to pass in front of them with such a swagger, plus the second company was originally a crossing army uniform, and there was also a wheeled armored vehicle as a living signboard...... So they take it for granted that we are our own.

As the armored car slowly drove forward, I saw the Vietnamese defense line in the observation hole...... A fort built with sandbags, a machine gun...... It's really shocking.

The most harmonious thing is ...... Two Vietnamese female soldiers with submachine guns on their backs are holding red flags and constantly pointing us in the direction, these two Vietnamese female soldiers may be because of the long-term battlefield tempering, so the figure under the military uniform faintly reveals a kind of rigid and soft, soft and rigid taste, the action is also clean and powerful, there is a unique flavor of heroines in women...... I just let the eyes of the driver next to me keep following the two female soldiers...... Unknowingly, the armored car drove to the side of the road and crashed into a pile of sandbags with a "crash......

Now it's ...... The surrounding Yue devils suddenly cast suspicious glances at us.

The faces of the people in the armored car immediately changed, and they all cast reproachful glances at the driver...... The driver also regretted it, and he was worried that this would be seen by the Yue devil and the flaws would affect the entire army!

But he also knew that it was useless to regret it now, so he couldn't help but cast me a look of help......

"Keep going!" I glared at him fiercely and whispered, "Pay attention, don't look like you've lost your soul when you see the little girl!" ”

"Yes!" The driver replied with a red face.

I took off the collar badge on my collar and the red star on my military cap...... The Vietnamese army in this era may have been influenced by our Chinese army (in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Vietnam, that is, a few years ago, many Vietnamese troops were trained and equipped in China), so the military uniform is eight or nine percent similar to the Chinese military uniform, of course, the cockade cannot be the same, plus now it is the time when the sky will be bright and dark, so I am not worried that the Vietnamese devil will recognize it.

Then I opened the top hatch of the armor-piercing vehicle, climbed up to the turret, and raised my fist to shout to the Vietnamese soldiers in Vietnamese: "Comrades, hard work! In this battle, we must let the Chinese know the strength of our 320 Division and let the Chinese pay their blood debts! ”

"Let the Chinese pay their blood debts!"

"Long live the Vietnamese People's Army!"

"Long live the 320th Division!"

……

Those Vietnamese soldiers immediately shouted slogans one after another, and I couldn't help but lean in my heart when I saw this...... The more devils learned from us is not only the skill of fighting!

It is obvious that when I shouted at those Vietnamese soldiers, they became suspicious, and even because of shouting such a slogan, they were like doping and showed us the way.

Now the only thing I'm worried about is ...... Where is this going to lead us? (To be continued......)
