Chapter 207: 7.12 Battle (6)
The order was passed down, but everyone knew it, including myself, that it wouldn't have much effect.
The logistics troops are also people, and they are also transported by car on one shoulder, and there are so many resources, it is impossible for them to turn one person into two people to use it.
So, my order is just a little bit of a sense of urgency.
Now, there are only two I wish for:
One is that the Vietnamese army did not have as much as Commander Jiang estimated; The other is that the Vietnamese army retreated or delayed the suicide attack.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that another outcome will appear on the battlefield at the moment when our shells are finished...... The Vietnamese army successfully broke through the defense line of our army and occupied Lao Son.
This is indeed a trap we set, but originally we thought it was a wolf, so we dug a trap that could catch the wolf, but what we didn't expect was an elephant, which may make us unable to eat and walk around.
But my hopes soon proved unrealistic, because ten minutes later the Vietnamese army again launched a charge on our lines.
There was nothing new in the battle, and the adjustment of the Vietnamese army was only that the formation was scattered a little during the charge, and the speed of the charge was also slowed down a little...... After all, this is a daytime charge, and if they still launch a cluster charge like at night, even if they have tens of thousands of people, they can't withstand this kind of attrition.
However, I believe that the Vietnamese army is also consciously consuming our army's ammunition. Because obviously, the Vietnamese commander will also think of one point: to shoot artillery like the Chinese soldiers, that is, to use artillery shells to blow up a wall of fire at the front of the position, its firepower is fierce and lethal, but the disadvantage is undoubtedly that the shell consumption is large.
In addition, the Vietnamese army has no way out. So their only hope is to consume as many shells as possible from the Chinese soldiers.
But at the same time, the Vietnamese commanders also realized one thing: if the strategic goal of consuming the shells of the Chinese soldiers was to be achieved. Then their stormtrooper formation should not be too scattered. At the same time, the speed should not be too slow.
The reason is simple, if it is too scattered or too slow, the Chinese artillery does not need to shoot at all, and the submachine guns and machine guns on the defensive line will solve the problem.
To put it simply, the Vietnamese army's current strategy is to exchange human lives for our artillery shells, and in the process of exchanging, it is necessary to master a certain degree, so that our artillery can shoot without too many casualties.
The Vietnamese army grasped this very well. After all, the Vietnamese army in front of us is the 316A Division, the ace unit of the Vietnamese army. Their ability to coordinate with the battlefield allows them to fully judge the situation of our army's artillery on the battlefield and respond accordingly to the situation.
That is, as soon as they heard the whistling of artillery shells in the air, they suspended their attacks and found cover, and when our artillery fire slowed down a little, they immediately got up from the ground and attacked our defensive line.
It should be said that the Vietnamese commander has finally done one thing right from the beginning of the war to the present.
His countermeasure put me in a dilemma: should I fire the cannon when the devils rush up? It's better not to fire!
If the artillery is fired, although it can temporarily suppress the Vietnamese army, there are not many enemies that can effectively kill and injure...... In fact, the effective killing and wounding is also quite considerable, not to mention that these Vietnamese troops we killed and injured are all the 316A Division of the Vietnamese Army, which is quite good, so if this exchange is generally speaking, it can be called a victory for our army.
But the problem is that our artillery shells cannot withstand attrition.
If you don't fire the cannon or delay it. This is indeed the purpose of saving shells. However, the stormtroop formation of the Vietnamese army was quite dense...... Although the formation was a little looser than in the early morning, it was still denser than usual.
Although the crowd tactic has proven ineffective with the advent of machine guns. But the problem is that if these sea of people are made up of veterans who are highly su, have combat experience, and are adaptable, it will be quite scary.
Because they will use the corpses of their comrades in front of them, because they will consciously coordinate with the sniper rifles, because they will grasp every mistake the enemy makes.
Coupled with the several charges last night, the various barricades in front of our army's defense line are no longer there...... All the mines were trampled by the Vietnamese army, the barbed wire was crushed with the corpses of the Vietnamese soldiers, and even the places that were not easy to climb were piled up like ladders by the Vietnamese soldiers.
All of this made our defense line in danger of being broken by the Vietnamese army.
This was also proven by the fact that during this time I consciously reduced some of the shells...... That is, the previous wall of fire that was blown up at the front of the position was changed to limited artillery assistance.
The purpose of this is very clear, that is, to see if our army's defense line has a way or on what way to block the Vietnamese army's charge.
But I soon found that this temptation didn't really make much sense, because as long as our shells were weak...... The Vietnamese troops on the front line could immediately feel this, so they immediately launched a more fierce charge against our defensive line, and in a few minutes several positions there would be a call for artillery support.
As a result, we had to maintain the intensity of the artillery bombardment of the Vietnamese army.
Later, I knew from the mouths of the front-line infantry that the Vietnamese army seemed to have grasped the shortcomings of our army, but the Vietnamese army was still very pitiful on the battlefield...... In the eyes of our infantry, what they saw was that the Vietnamese army was rushing into our artillery fire one after another.
The Vietnamese army also has no choice, if they do not rush at our army, they will not shoot artillery, and if they do not fire artillery, they will naturally not be able to achieve the goal of consuming our army's artillery shells.
At this time, our army's artillery fire was like a passing machine: a large number of Vietnamese troops entered from that end, and only a small part of the Vietnamese troops came out from the other end, and many of them came out with broken hands and feet, and those with broken hands charged with guns in one hand while shooting indiscriminately at our positions, and some of them crawled on the ground and climbed towards our defense line, and some could even continue to leap forward by jumping on one foot.
There were also some Vietnamese soldiers who saw the soldiers in front of them fall in rows under artillery fire, so they turned back, but they did not flee this time, but knelt down facing the south and kowtowed a few times, which should be the meaning of saying goodbye to their homeland and relatives. After kowtowing, he rushed into the wall of fire with his gun......
If this kind of fight continues, it is rare for a few of the devils to rush into the defense line of our army, and occasionally a few of them will rush up like crazy to fight our army, knowing that it will not work, they will shout and shoot fiercely, or directly pull and ignite the explosive bag and rush to our military fortifications.
All this also makes our soldiers deeply feel that it is far from enough for a nation and an army to have a tenacious spirit, but also to arm them with science and technology, that is, "building a modern army" that we emphasize at this time. (To be continued......)
