One of the characteristics of the terrain near the 142 Highlands is that it looks open and flat from the far side, but if you look closely, it is high and low, like waves on the sea.

In fact, this is not only the case near the 142 Heights, but also the vast majority of places on the first line...... It's been covered by shells dozens or hundreds of times, and naturally there are craters everywhere, but the original terrain near Heights 142 is almost like this, so it's very obvious.

On the other hand, the narrow valley between the No. 5 and No. 6 heights is still "S" shaped.

It was on the basis of these two points that Huang Jianfu formulated a tactic of "fighting guerrilla attacks by tanks."

Huang Jianfu analyzed it like this:

First of all, because the terrain near Heights 142 and Heights 5 and 6 is undulating, it is not conducive to the shooting of tanks on the move, and the trajectory of the target is difficult to grasp. This feature is good for the 59 in a certain way, because the 59 is unable to aim due to the conditions on the move, so it doesn't care if the shooting conditions on the move are worse.

On the other hand, this terrain would have had a great adverse effect on the T72 of the Soviet army, despite the relatively advanced fire control system installed.

Secondly, the narrow valley between the No. 5 and No. 6 heights is "S" shaped, which means that once our tanks drive into this narrow valley, it will be basically safe.

It's easy to understand, just like we often have to make a turn when we build a tunnel...... The bullets flew in a straight line, and if the tunnel was made in a straight line to the end, then a burst of machine gun fire at the mouth of the tunnel would kill the fighters hiding inside.

But if you turn a corner. This problem can be avoided very well. It can even provide a good cover for fighters hiding in the tunnels. Caught off guard, he came out of the bend and fired a bullet out of the tunnel.

In the same way, the narrow valley between Heights 5 and 6 is equivalent to a curved tunnel, the difference is that this tunnel is a little larger, and it is not the fighters who hide in the tunnel, but the tanks.

So when the tanks and armored vehicles of the Yue devils swooped up towards the 142 heights under the cover of artillery and infantry, Huang Jianfu did not meet them, but did not move.

This is called "avoiding its sharpness" in the art of war, which makes the Vietnamese army, which originally wanted to make a big fight and want to give the Chinese tank troops a little color to see, a little nowhere to focus.

Then, when the Yue Devil stood on the 142 Heights and cheered...... At this time, the Yue devil seemed to be able to cheer on the high ground with confidence. One is because the garrison on Heights 142 of our army retreated into the tunnel as usual and was blocked by Vietnamese firepower, and the other is because our army now has no artillery shells and can no longer provide artillery assistance to Heights 142 as before.

Therefore, as soon as the Vietnamese army occupied the 142nd Height, they shouted very arrogantly, and brazenly built machine gun positions and mortar positions on the 142nd Heights in preparation for their attack on the No. 5 and No. 6 heights.

But at this moment, to everyone's surprise, our tanks struck......

The first batch of tanks to be put into battle was not much, two on the left flank and two on the right, a total of only four.

This is another unexpected place for the Vietnamese army, you must know that the Vietnamese army has six T72s, while our army has twenty 59 mediums. The contrast is stark. Although the number of T72s is not as many as in the 59, the performance is much better than that in the 59.

So. According to the general people's thinking, the Chinese soldiers will definitely launch a group attack in the 72 with inferior performance but superior in number to 59, that is, wolf pack tactics, to fight more and less!

Who would have thought that instead of doing this, the Chinese soldiers only dispatched four vehicles.

Obviously, in this way, 59 is at an absolute disadvantage in both quality and quantity...... Isn't this looking for death?!

Therefore, the Vietnamese army did not pay attention to these four 59 vehicles at all, which made those Vietnamese troops who built fortifications on the 142 heights not stop their actions at all.

This is also partly due to the fact that the Yue devils are very familiar with the performance of our tanks and know that the 59 cannot be aimed on the move.

But the Yue devil soon found out that he was wrong...... Because in the next second, the four moving 59 suddenly fired several shells at the 142 height, and all of these shells fell into the 142 high ground very accurately and exploded in the crowd of Vietnamese troops.

In fact, I was puzzled when I heard the front-line artillery observers report on the battle situation...... Didn't you say that 59 could not be aimed at on the march? How did Huang Jianfu do it! Could it be that the fire control system was also improved at this time in our army 59?

It's impossible, although there are improvements in 59, but it's just the addition of a rangefinder, which just changes the feeling of looking at the gunner before firing a gun. Besides, if the fire control system was improved in 59, how could I, the commander of the synthetic battalion, not know.

Later, I learned that in fact, it was not surprising at all that the 59 did not improve its fire control system, it was just Huang Jianfu's method of playing with artillery test firing.

To put it simply, before the Yue devils came up, that is, when the 142 Heights were still in the hands of our army, Huang Jianfu took his tank company to drive the tanks to the vicinity of the 142 Heights for a detailed test firing.

The positions of these test launches are all different, some tanks are here, some tanks are there, but the goal is the same, that is, 142 heights.

After the shells accurately hit the target, Huang Jianfu wrote down these positions and the elements of the tank guns and listed them in a table and sent them to each tanker, and even numbered these specific positions and conducted a necessary drill for the convenience of coordination.

So the question becomes simple, it's true that 59 can't aim on the move, but what if the target is the 142 heights that don't move?

Of course, the situation is different, and at the beginning of the fight, every tank basically carried out something like this:

First, the commander shouted "position three", which means that the tank is about to move to position number three in the number jù table, so the driver immediately opens the tank to position number three. The gunner adjusts the tank gun according to the number jù in the number jù table. Then, as the tank drove into position three, the commander shouted: "Release......

"Boom". The shells landed accurately on the 142 heights.

The 142 Heights are only a few hundred square meters in total, and at this time, the Heights are still full of Yue devils active, so a random cannonball can blow up several Yue devils into the sky.

This made the Yue devils shocked, especially the tank soldiers...... Because the 59 of our army looks like it is "targeted" on the move, I take it for granted that the Chinese soldiers have upgraded the tank to have a fire control system that can be accurate on the move.

In fact, it's no wonder that the Yue devil would think so, even I and the infantry of the 40th Division who saw this scene on the front line thought so at that time.

What's more, the Vietnamese army is also very aware that the equipment of the Chinese soldiers in recent years can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes: the individual equipment has developed from the previous 56 and a half and 56 chong to the current 81 bar, and the anti-tank equipment is also constantly improving, and there are even anti-tank missiles. In particular, the artillery side also invested in artillery sighting radars that were so advanced that they could not imagine.

So naturally, the first thing that the Vietnamese army thought of when they saw this scene was...... It is quite possible that 59 will already be able to shoot on the march with the help of the Yankees.

So is this worth it? The Chinese had twenty such tanks, while the Vietnamese had only six.

This gave the Vietnamese tank soldiers a dismount, so that their morale immediately became shorter because of the just high morale of the 142 heights.

But the characteristic of the Vietnamese army is that it is never willing to admit defeat, not only for the infantry, but also for the tank crew.

So in the next second, their T72 and armored vehicles quickly caught up......

But what is surprising is that 59 did not mean to fight with the Vietnamese tanks, but turned a corner and drove towards the narrow valley in the middle...... Heights 142 can't move, so if you hit accurately, this method won't work when used on moving enemy tanks and armored vehicles!

Of course, the Vietnamese army would not just give up, and tanks and armored vehicles followed closely. At the same time, while chasing, he also fired at 59.

This was indeed a good time for them to open fire, and in 59 they were faced with weaker side and even back armor. ONCE IT WAS HIT BY THE T72'S 125MM SMOOTHBORE GUN, IT WAS UNDOUBTEDLY OVER.

But what annoyed the Yue devils was that because of the undulating terrain in this area, even if the T72 could shoot on the move, it couldn't aim at all, and the shells they fired were 108,000 miles away from the 59 in the bumps of the tank, and some even hit the No. 5 and No. 6 heights.

Two of these T72s are smarter, and they have chosen to stop and aim...... This will undoubtedly increase the chance of hitting the target in a large way, and the pursuit of the target will be left to the other tanks.

It's a pity that due to the undulating terrain, the trajectory of the target is also unpredictable, but at least these shells will not deviate too much, most of them hit around 59, and they can still pose a certain threat to 59.

However, the Vietnamese army did not have much time, because the 59th Central Army soon drove into the canyon between the No. 5 and No. 6 heights, and then disappeared after a turn.

At this time, the "S" shaped canyon came into play, no matter how the Vietnamese tanks bombed behind, their shells would never turn, so they all hit the valley mouth and could not cause the slightest damage to the 59 that drove in.

"Good!" The command soon burst into applause after hearing the real-time reports of front-line artillery observers.

It is indeed not easy to fight like this in such a situation where the enemy is strong and I am weak.

But there's more to come.

A Vietnamese tank followed up the gorge without knowing whether it was alive or dead......

I think this may be due to the national characteristics of the Vietnamese army that does not admit defeat, which is good in most cases, for example, the Vietnamese army can fight for a long time under the colonization and aggression of Japan, France, the United States and other countries, and finally win the victory.

But sometimes it's not good, for example, on the battlefield, I often hold my breath and rush forward regardless of life and death, which is "willful".

However, I think that the reason why this tank dared to break into the canyon was actually the intention of exploring the canyon, so there were two armored vehicles that followed this tank, and more than a dozen infantry soon came down from the armored vehicles to provide cover for the tank. Then the tanks drove slowly into the gorge with the infantry.

Needless to say, the ending is not too much.

Anti-tank units of our army have long been arranged on both sides of the canyon, with recoilless guns, rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, etc.

Of course, our army will not use anti-tank missiles in this case...... This thing is tens of thousands of yuan each, so we should try not to use it if we can, and at the same time, the distance between our army and the Vietnamese tanks in the canyon is only one or two hundred meters, and there is no need to use anti-tank missiles at this distance.

After the Vietnamese tanks penetrated deep into the encirclement of our army, with Huang Jianfu's order, bazooka shooters or recoilless guns suddenly appeared in the grass and behind the stones, and the bombardment was a burst of random fighting...... The T72 armor is thick, and many of our rockets are condescending to hit its weak top, so the T72 was immediately turned into a fireball.

As for the infantry and armored vehicles that followed behind, in addition to being blown up by rockets, they also had to face 59 Zhong who slowly drove up from the corner.

At this time, it was naturally the time for the 59 to play a role, and a single shot bombed an armored car into the sky, and then the side by side machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the Vietnamese infantry for a while, only to make the Vietnamese army cry and howl wolf for a while.

This scene made the Vietnamese troops outside the canyon feel even more terrified...... Some things are like this, if you see it with your own eyes, you don't feel anything, but if you don't see it, it will make people have infinite imagination in their minds, and the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

Just like now, the Vietnamese troops outside the valley could not see the situation in the valley, only heard a burst of gunfire and explosions in the valley, and a burst of screams of the Vietnamese army...... This makes this canyon seem to have become a man-eating machine, waiting for the Vietnamese army to send it to the door to throw themselves into the net.

At this time, the Vietnamese army had two choices:

The first is to attack the No. 5 and No. 6 heights as planned.

But this is obviously not a good choice, because the Chinese tank forces are still there, and they can put on a good show again at any time to come out and go around and hide in the canyon. And at that time, it was very likely that the Vietnamese army was in full swing on the No. 5 and No. 6 heights.

The other is to continue to look for fighters to fight against Chinese tank forces.

But what can the Chinese tank forces do if they don't come out now? (To be continued......)
