The ensuing battlefield soon fell silent, except for the faint sound of gunfire and artillery on Heights 481 and 544, there was no movement anywhere.

I think it's because the Vietnamese army realized something...... Although the interspersed force they faced was not very numerous, that is, it looked like a reinforced battalion, it was a difficult bone to gnaw, and it seemed to be well prepared for this battle.

At the same time, they also realized that the forces they used to charge would be divided into two parts by the Chinese artillery fire at any time, as they had just done...... The Chinese artillery let go as much as they wanted, and they stopped it whenever they wanted, and they had no initiative at all.

For the rear of the 518.6 heights...... Not to mention, it is even more difficult for those Vietnamese troops to attack the 518.6 heights...... Mainly because of the steep and difficult terrain, coupled with the fact that there were stones everywhere, the Chinese army only needed to summon a burst of artillery fire to inflict heavy casualties on the charging troops.

In other words...... The Vietnamese army is not fighting with our battalion, but with a combination of long-range artillery, mortars, infantry and tanks...... Among them, especially long-range artillery, this 518.6 highland seems to be isolated, but in fact it is a fortress under the layers of long-range artillery!

In fact, this is the purpose of my training during this time, and it is also the reason why I require all my soldiers to report their coordinates...... If the infantry is supported by strong artillery fire, it will occupy a fairly advantageous dominant position in both attack and defense.

Just like just now, I can be very casual to cut off the Vietnamese army as I want, and to encircle the Vietnamese army as soon as I want...... If the Vietnamese army can't solve this problem. Then they don't even touch our side.

But as the saying goes, where there is a spear, there is a shield. There will never be any winning tactics on the battlefield. Any tactic has its weaknesses and weaknesses, but I don't think of any way to deal with this situation for the time being.

"Battalion commander!" At this time, Zhao Jingping came up and handed me a telegram and said: "The news from the military headquarters says that the Vietnamese army is urgently mobilizing artillery units and mechanized troops......

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nod.

The more devils finally got to the point...... It should be said that the most powerful weapon against artillery in this era is not artillery, but aircraft...... In the absence of artillery sighting radar, artillery against artillery still has to be counted this and that, and it is not necessarily accurate, and the other is that artillery is easy to transfer. So in this case, it is relatively difficult to use artillery against artillery. Airplanes are different...... If air supremacy is mastered, then fighters and bombers can easily and quickly bomb the enemy's transportation systems and artillery positions, so that the enemy's artillery has nowhere to run even if they want to. This is also the reason why air supremacy in war is crucial.

But the Sino-Vietnamese war was somewhat different, because for political and practical reasons, the air forces of both sides did not participate in the war...... Then there is only one option for dealing with artillery - artillery.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army's operational idea is actually obvious, that is, to try to suppress our artillery fire with artillery fire, and then use mechanized troops to launch a charge at our army's position......

After looking at my watch, I ordered Zhao Jingping: "The Vietnamese army should not attack tonight, let the soldiers have a good rest." Recharge your batteries! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingping replied and conveyed the order, and then couldn't help asking: "Battalion commander...... How do you know that the Yue devil won't attack tonight......"

"Do you know what the usual ammunition reserves of our artillery are?" I don't answer rhetorical questions.

"About 0.75 bases!" Zhao Jingping replied without thinking about it: "The maximum amount will not exceed 1.5 bases!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded: "Our army is like this...... Then the ammunition reserves of the Vietnamese army will be lower than ours......"

"Oh!" When Zhao Jingping heard this, he suddenly realized: "So if the Vietnamese army wants to mobilize artillery units to fight this battle." You have to have plenty of time to prepare......"

"That's right!" I said: "Our army has assembled five artillery regiments in the Banwang area, and in order to prepare three bases of ammunition for these five artillery regiments, our artillery has secretly transported them in various vehicles for more than ten days...... Now the Vietnamese army has no problem mobilizing artillery units, the problem is if they want to mobilize enough shells...... That's not a matter of a while! ”

Zhao Jingping thought about it and said, "That night is not enough...... The traffic situation of the more devils is worse than ours, and there are not as many transport vehicles as ours, this night ......"

Of course, what Zhao Jingping said is reasonable, you must know that the Vietnamese army's roads and bridges have been bombed by us, and even if they have been repaired now, it is inevitable that there will still be problems of one kind or another, and besides...... There are still some sections of the Vietnamese army that have been blocked by our artillery fire, and they have to solve this problem...... So this night there was nothing to say that there would be enough shells to compete with the huge artillery of our army.

But......

"If there are not enough shells, there is not enough way to play!" I said, "The purpose of the Vietnamese army...... It's not about defeating our artillery, it's about taking the 518.6 heights! ”

"Oh!" Zhao Jingping nodded: "What does the battalion commander mean...... Will the Vietnamese army spend a night accumulating ammunition and then concentrate it on a certain period of time to suppress our artillery fire to match the charge of their infantry against our army? ”

"It's not just because of the accumulation of ammo!" I said: "At night, it is easy for the artillery to expose its position due to fire and smoke, which can make it very dangerous for the Vietnamese artillery to be in a weak position, but during the day...... There will be a lot less worry in this regard, which is beneficial to the Vietnamese artillery who are at a disadvantage, plus we have clearly observed the shooting elements around the 518.6 heights, but the Vietnamese army is not prepared for this, so it will be more beneficial to the Vietnamese army during the day! ”

Zhao Jingping couldn't help but nod again and again...... In fact, this reason is not difficult to understand, our artillery has a lot of artillery, sufficient ammunition, and full preparation, and the Vietnamese army is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in these aspects. Therefore, if the Vietnamese artillery wanted to fight a night battle with our artillery, it would be tantamount to looking for death...... Our artillery can keep one or two artillery battalions ready at any time, and the rest of the artillery can open fire unscrupulously, once the Vietnamese artillery returns fire...... In this dark night, it is easy to reveal its position, so it is time for the artillery battalion left by our army to exert its might.

That is, artillery battles at night...... That is, the strong Yu is strong, and the weak Yu is weak.

Instead, it's daylight...... Because the fire and smoke emitted from the muzzle of the cannon are not so obvious, the Vietnamese army has completely time to escape or change positions, and this is the possibility of being with our artillery for a long time.

Therefore, the battle of the Vietnamese army is also called depressed...... But it's no wonder to others, who makes them always think that Banwang is an impenetrable line of defense, so who can blame them for not doing a good job of intelligence work and not being prepared? If you are not prepared, you can only be beaten passively!

I also realized something...... The Vietnamese army is now accumulating liliang, and the time for this accumulation of liliang cannot be too long or too short. If it's too long, it's very likely that Heights 481 and 544 won't be able to hold on, and if it's too short, the savings will not be enough.

Therefore, it should be said that the Vietnamese army only has one chance, and this opportunity is like a volcanic eruption to release all the liliang of the Vietnamese army, so it is conceivable that this eruption must be extraordinary. At the same time, I also know that if we can survive this outbreak, it will basically mean victory in this battle.

From this point of view...... The commander of the Vietnamese army is still quite rational, he will not be like the Vietnamese army we fought before, because he was worried that the signboard of some ace unit would be smashed, or because several troops would be eaten, so he would be hot-headed and desperate to send the troops to death.

I would have liked to take advantage of this time to take a break...... But helplessly, the telegram from the military headquarters flew in front of me like snowflakes.

These telegrams were such as "Another artillery regiment of the Vietnamese army has been transferred to the direction of your department," "A certain artillery unit of our army has been transferred to a new position, and the dead end of the artillery fire needs to be re-observed."

In fact, I don't need the military department to say that I know these things, and these messy situations boil down to the ones I just considered! Our artillery has been fighting for so long this night, and it is obvious that all artillery positions have been exposed, so it is impossible to wait for the devils to pull up the artillery to fight! So to shift positions, that's for sure.

So there was a very strange scene on this battlefield...... The real front line of confrontation is silent, while the artillery units in the rear are carrying out intense and frequent movements.

Feeling that this information was not of great value to our troops, I simply took the guards out of the cave to breathe.

It was then that I realized that the soldiers in the trenches were resting, but they were all holding their guns in a daze...... But it's not surprising, most of the soldiers in the company are on the battlefield for the first time, and I was the same when I first went to war!

"What are you thinking?" I strolled up and went to find a rock to sit down.

"Battalion...... The battalion commander ...... "A soldier didn't know if it was because he was cold or afraid, and he trembled a little when he spoke:" This...... I can't sleep! ”

"It's okay!" I smiled lightly: "I'll get used to it after a few more fights!" It's good that you've been able to perform like this for the first time! ”

I'm telling the truth, when we first went to the battlefield at that time, there were many people who were scared to run around! But this is of course due to the fact that the current Lian has more targeted training.

"Alas!" Another fighter sighed: "Battalion commander, to be honest...... Before that, we had always longed to go to war, but now I know how ridiculous it used to be......"

That's true, because the battlefield shouldn't be a place for anyone. (To be continued......)
