Chapter 100: The Battle of Mount Faka (5)
As soon as the covert line was taken, it was taken in a very short time...... The battle lasted only fifteen minutes. In addition, 10 helicopters of our army bombarded the No. 3 position from the anti-slope plane in a wanton and indiscriminate bombardment...... In fact, this is a double win, on the one hand, to suppress the firepower of the Vietnamese army so that it cannot pose a threat to our helicopters, and on the other hand, to ...... It is to further attack and destroy the defense of position 3.
It is important to know that although the No. 3 position in Lu Dao is the main position of the Vietnamese army...... The Vietnamese army also has the largest number of troops here, with a platoon. But all of their defenses were oriented towards the positive slope of Mount Faka...... At this time, he suddenly found that there was an enemy situation on the anti-slope, so he hurriedly turned the muzzle of his gun and prepared to build a new line of defense to resist the offensive of our army.
But......
Before they had time to prepare...... Rockets and machine-gun bullets from the helicopter rained down on their heads, and in a few moments they were thrown into a mess.
In other words...... At this time, position No. 3 was almost an undefended line of defense for our army...... In addition, there are still as many as three platoons of our army's strength on the anticline, and the elite division of three platoons fights an unprepared Vietnamese platoon, plus there is also the reconnaissance and cooperation of helicopters...... So the battle for position No. 3 ended almost after a shout from our troops.
As soon as position No. 3 came into our hands...... The defenses of Mount Faka also collapsed as if they were peeling back the cocoon, and the soldiers of the secret service company fired their machine guns at position 3...... He didn't even need a machine gun, he hid directly in the bunker in the No. 3 position, grabbed the machine gun of the Yue devil and fired at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions in front of him, only to make the Vietnamese army cry wolf and crumble.
After finishing the battle, the soldiers of the second battalion cooperated and rushed to the No. 4 and No. 5 positions of the Vietnamese army...... The three positions on Mount Faka are all under the control of our army!
"Good!"
"Victory!"
"Down with the more devils!"
β¦β¦
Soon the battle was filled with cheers from the fighters.
Of course. These cheers were shouted by the soldiers of the second battalion...... As for our synthetic camp. It has long passed the era of cheering loudly with excitement when you won a battle. They soon consciously split into two parts, one part to continue the search for the remnants of the enemy...... This is quite necessary for us, and we who have fought with the Yue devils know how to do it...... The patience of the more devils is quite amazing, and it is very likely that even if they are wounded, they will hide in the corpses without saying a word, until our troops let their guard down, and they will fire grenades or explosives bags and rush up.
Therefore, the task of this part is to ensure that there is not a single living Vietnamese devil on the position...... As for the prisoners, because of the situation and the conditions of the battle, we were ordered not to leave prisoners in this battle.
It's not like we're making excuses...... One is because Vietnamese prisoners are quite dangerous. If they are not careful, they will be able to seize the opportunity to make small moves, which will undoubtedly cause unnecessary casualties to our troops, and our task in this battle is to avoid casualties as much as possible, so we can only leave no prisoners.
On the other hand, it is because the faΓ§ade of this Faka Mountain is very narrow...... It is only a little more than 100 meters long, and there are only a few trails that can be walked normally...... If you still have to escort the prisoners down the mountain, it is very likely that the roads will be congested and the fighters will be neglected.
Because of these two articles, it is normal not to capture prisoners...... But then again, in the process of fighting with the Yue devils, our army was rarely able to capture prisoners, and even if they could...... A few soldiers also went up and pressed down a wounded soldier who was scratching and biting. Such captives themselves can be caught or not, and no one can say that we are violating any international convention...... And it takes a lot of work to catch it. There are many risks to be taken, if you don't catch it, it will be something that can be solved with one bullet, coupled with the soldiers' bitter hatred for the Yue devils, so the soldiers are naturally happy to choose not to catch it.
While the fighters of the synthetic battalion were busy...... Many soldiers of the second battalion took steps and ran to position No. 3......
I can understand their feelings, there are their "masters" among the soldiers of the special agent company, and they are now winning battles under the leadership of the "masters", of course, they want to catch up with the "masters" or exchange combat experience or something.
But......
"You don't want to die!" I heard Scar shouting at the soldiers on the walkie-talkie, "Get me back and build the fortifications now!" β
Scar was also proven right...... Because before Scar's words fell, there was a whistling of cannonballs in the sky, followed by a chaotic "rumble...... Patches of shells exploded on the summit positions of Mount Faka.
But luckily...... The agents on Position 3 had already prepared for this, and they had dug cat ear holes on the anticline, so it was basically no problem to just hide in these cat ear holes.
Fighters of the 2nd Battalion on positions No. 4 and 5...... Although they were not prepared, they did not cause many casualties because Position 3 was higher and blocked most of the shells.
This is an old trick played by the devils...... Once they are sure that their position has been lost, they will not care whether there are any remnants of their own troops on it, and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to bombard a cannon first.
After this cannon passed...... The movements of the soldiers of the Secret Service Company slowed down because they knew what they were saying...... The more devils will not shoot for a while...... This is determined by the fact that the artillery of the Vietnamese army is not as strong as our army, which dooms the Vietnamese devils to choose to change places with one cannon, otherwise they will be completely wiped out by our artillery.
Rather, it was the fighters of the second battalion...... After being bombed by this artillery fire, he realized that the war was not over, so he hurriedly began to build fortifications.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but shake my head...... The three-day training time was too short, and we taught the second battalion how to cooperate with our army's air force, but we couldn't teach them more tactics and experience.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, the voice of Master Liang sounded in the walkie-talkie handed by the correspondent: "Good fight!" It's so beautiful...... This battle is really an eye-opener for us, all my staff officers have said that they only now know that the Ludao helicopter still has such a surprise effect, and everyone admires you as a synthetic battalion! β
"Master Liang has won the award!" I've heard a lot of compliments like this, so the answers are the same.
"How? Are the casualties counted? Master Liang then asked.
"Report to the Divisional Commander!" I replied, "I haven't had time to count it yet!" β
"Hmm!" Master Liang said with confidence: "Its practical use is not counted...... Judging from the course of this battle, it can be said that there was no frontal attack, but several very beautiful sneak attacks in a row, and finally took down Faka Mountain within the specified time in one fell swoop...... I believe that the casualties of this battle are certainly within our reach! If you fight like this, you can get a lot of casualties...... Then there is no way to play with fewer casualties! β
Saying that, Master Liang smiled happily.
After a pause, he continued: "Thank you, Camp Commander Yang...... So, is it time for us to replace the Agent Company? β
Master Liang's words have reached my heart...... In other words, our special agent company is an elite force that pays attention to the coordination of all arms, and they are more suitable for raiding or attacking important strategic targets...... As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, if such an elite is used to defend Faka Mountain...... That seems overkill!
But I hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Commander Liang, I don't think it's right to remove the agent company right now!" β
"Oh, how do you say?" Master Liang was a little surprised by this.
"I'm afraid that the Vietnamese army won't give up on this!" I said, "What are the next tactics of the Vietnamese army...... It is quite possible that the attack on Mount Fakka was carried out with artillery......"
On the one hand, it is to directly bomb artillery shells on Phaka Mountain, making it difficult for our troops to build complete fortifications, and on the other hand, to hit artillery shells on our logistical supply lines, making it difficult for our troops to supply and reinforce them.
This is not a problem for the Vietnamese army...... They have occupied Mount Faka for a long time, and the coordinates around Mount Faka are only afraid that they have long been able to calculate them clearly and even conduct test firing.
As for the Vietnamese artillery, it will be suppressed by our artillery...... As long as the Vietnamese army fires an artillery shot to change places, it will be difficult for our artillery to grasp their whereabouts in time.
"So ......," I said, "in this case...... I don't think the 2nd Battalion is capable of building a complete fortification and holding off the Vietnamese counterattack at night. And as soon as the 2nd battalion lost its position at night...... Then all our victories will be in vain! β
Master Liang was silent for a while in the microphone, and finally answered: "Hmm...... It's hard work for you to make up the camp! β
I can actually understand the feelings of Master Liang, and I want to know that they are a teacher...... However, it was impossible to find a certain force that could hold the No. 3 position, and it had to rely on other troops to defend it...... This is a shame for their entire division. But on the other hand...... He also knew that I was right in my analysis, this No. 3 position is too important, once it is lost...... And we can't use the previous sneak attack method to take it back, so I really don't know how to fight this Faka Mountain.
So weigh it again...... In the end, the commander of the Liang Division decided to put the face of his troops first, and chose to let the synthetic battalion defend the No. 3 position.
"So be it!" Division Commander Liang continued: "I will give you full command of the battle at Faka Mountain, including the second battalion!" β
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this...... Secretly said that this Liang master is really able to bend and stretch, if this matter is spread out...... That is, there is no talent in the whole division who can command the battle of Faka Mountain, which makes his face as a division commander go away!
However, Master Liang didn't worry about this anymore, so I naturally stopped being rigid and stepped forward to respond: "Yes!" β
So the burden of the battle of Mount Fakka fell on my shoulders...... (To be continued......)
