Chapter 152 Pingding Mountain

Chapter 152 Pingding Mountain

"Term to cover the attack of friendly troops!" Seeing the performance of the charge troops, I immediately changed my original plan and no longer prepared to let the soldiers replace Xu Fan's troops to charge, but let them cover them with all their strength.

"Yes!" The soldiers also saw the changes in the situation on the battlefield. After answering, they executed my order without hesitation.

The heavy machine guns and mortars that were originally separated and were about to rush to the enemy were quickly assembled one by one. Then rows of bullets and shells poured towards the enemy with various roars, instantly suppressing the firepower of the Vietnamese army to a much weaker level.

Insufficient troops have always been a major weakness of the Vietnamese army. It was like this before, but it is still like this now. And as far as I know, even if the 608th Division in history was surrounded by the Vietnamese army, the total force of the Vietnamese army that besieged them was only one regiment.

Although this can be another aspect that the Vietnamese army fought extremely simply and took the initiative to annihilate the enemy and one regiment, this is probably a battle example that has never been seen in the Vietnamese army and even in our army. Therefore, this is undoubtedly a brilliant victory for the Vietnamese army, but it also shows that the Vietnamese army has certainly not much force in the Tongcheng District.

I did not raise my gun to participate in the battle directly in this battle. There are two reasons. One is that our army already has more than a dozen outstanding shooting team members, including Li Shuibo and Al Ziri, which are enough to put pressure on the Vietnamese army to accurately kill, so there are not many more me and no more me. On the other hand, it is because I think this is the first battle between our army and the 608th Regiment. What I need more on the battlefield is to coordinate the cooperation between the two troops and understand the actual combat capabilities of Xu Fan's battalion. Only in this way can we fight together better in future battles.

So my SVD sniper rifle was not taken off from beginning to end on my shoulder, although it made my palm itchy after finding the target...

"Boom..." There were several mine explosions. The closer the soldiers approached the Vietnamese army's defense line, the greater the mine density. Now, the grenades thrown by the Vietnamese army from the trenches only exploded, and it seemed like a fire wall was exploded in front of the position. However, all this did not stop the soldiers. They still rushed into the fire wall with bayonets...

I couldn't help but frown. It should be said that the soldiers were indeed very brave, and they surprised me, but just like all the new recruits who had just started the battlefield lacked coordination and combat skills. They should think that the enemy and us were fighting on the plains. Since the Vietnamese army's grenades could blow them, their grenades would definitely blow up the Vietnamese army.

So at this time, they should have thrown out several rows of grenades with other soldiers and then charged, but they didn't understand this, or they knew they should do this, but when they were nervous on the battlefield, they forgot everything, and they just remember to rush forward desperately with the bayonet...

The result of this is obvious. Even if they can achieve the final victory, it will increase many unnecessary casualties.

At this point, the Vietnamese army was obviously much better than ours. The Vietnamese army always had a tacit understanding and threw out a row of grenades and exploded a barrage in front of the position. Then, with the smoke and remnant of the grenades, they suddenly protruded from the trenches and fired a submachine gun and machine gun at our army. Then they quickly retracted their heads and threw out a row of grenades...

The fire wall that the grenade exploded not only blocked our soldiers in front of the Vietnamese positions, but also brought out layers of smoke and dust. In addition, the darkness of the night, so we, the troops who were responsible for the cover could not see the target clearly, and the firepower cover turned into targetless shooting. So the battle situation was shattered, and the new soldiers rushed in group smoke, and then fell down again. After a while, a high layer of corpses were built in front of the position.

"Captain Cui..." Ruan Wenqin came to me and said, "Let's go! Help you with your help, and make up for some of the mistakes you made before!"

I couldn't help but look at Ruan Wenqin unexpectedly and said, "You only have a dozen people..."

"It is because there are few people, the Viet Cong will not be mentally prepared!" Ruan Wenqin replied: "We can get into your troops, charge with the People's Liberation Army, and then suddenly launch an attack and break through a little..."

Although Ruan Wenqin was not very clear about what he said, I understood what he meant. It should be said that this is indeed a solution. After our army suffered such great casualties, the Vietnamese army would think that our entire army was just such a quality, so they would soon be sluggish. But if a sharp knife suddenly appeared in this army, their camp would soon cause them to be in chaos after breaking through a little.

So I nodded immediately and said, "You'd better go from the junction of the right and the main force. We will see the time to provide you with artillery cover!"

"Yes!" Ruan Wenqin responded, and waved his hand and took his troops up.

"Battery Commander! Let the Yue Japanese attackers go up and fight?" Li Zhifu said with some concern: "Will there be any trouble? What if they..."

"There will be no problem!" I interrupted Li Zhifu. I still understand that if you don't doubt people, I will not use this sentence. If I really doubt them, I will not bring them up in this battle.

Ruan Wenqin and his group quickly rush into Xu Fan's army. Although their outfits were similar to those of our soldiers, I still easily recognized them because they were all experienced veterans, and veterans would not rush like new recruits. When they were moving forward, they would always use buildings or craters to hide themselves.

But in a few minutes, they reached the front line with a very agile spy. Then Ruan Wenqin turned around and made a gesture in my direction.

I understood what he meant, put down the telescope and shouted at the mortarist who had been prepared behind me: "Let it go!"

"Bangbangbang..." With the sound of cannons, dozens of mortar shells were concentrated in front of Ruan Wenqin and his group. At the same time, Ruan Wenqin and his men also tacitly threw a row of grenades into the direction of the Vietnamese trenches, and then shouted more than a dozen people rushed into the smoke.

The right wing of the charge force and the junction of the main force had already set a gap due to the coordination of our troops. The Vietnamese army's defensive power in this position was relatively weak, or it could be said that they were transferred to other positions because of their insufficient troops. At this time, they were bombed by our bombing and more than a dozen grenades from Ruan Wenqin and others... I am afraid that even someone there would be stunned by this sudden attack.

So Ruan Wenqin and his group rushed in very smoothly. Although I couldn't see the battle that followed, I could clearly feel that the firepower of the Vietnamese army began to appear. First, the grenades on both sides of the breakthrough did not explode on time, and then soon spread like a plague.

As soon as the Vietnamese firepower was affected, the balance of victory quickly tilted towards our army. Then the soldiers yelled and rushed towards the Vietnamese position...

Sometimes the battlefield is a little bit short, and only a dozen well-trained soldiers can decide the outcome.

When I took the soldiers to the Vietnamese position, the soldiers were already cleaning the battlefield. I found Nguyen Van Qin in the Vietnamese trenches, and he was carrying the bodies with his surviving subordinates. When I walked up, he and his subordinates both paid gaze salutes at me.

"How many comrades have been sacrificed?" I asked, and also noticed that Ruan Wenqin had another knife wound on her body.

"Five of them were sacrificed!" Ruan Wenqin's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "They are all my brothers, and they have been with me for many years!"

"I understand!" I patted Ruan Wenqin on the shoulder and said, "But it doesn't matter. You have lost a few brothers, but you have many of us, many of us! Don't worry, we Chinese have always revenge and kindness!"

"Yes!" Ruan Wenqin nodded to me gratefully, knowing the meaning behind my words.

Of course, I still didn't dare to make any promises to Ruan Wenqin, because I was just a small battalion commander. But unlike before, I no longer took Ruan Wenqin's request seriously as before. At this time, I suddenly felt that I should do something for them, even if it was not for them, but for ourselves.

From this perspective, the efforts and sacrifices of Ruan Wenqin and others were not in vain.

After breaking through the Vietnamese defense line, we did not stop for a long time. After commanding the soldiers to occupy a few key points along the way, they headed straight to Pingding Mountain. I originally thought that the Vietnamese army would build fortifications on Pingding Mountain, but what surprised me was that they did not do so. There were indeed dozens of Vietnamese people on it, but most of them were old people and women. They were not mentally prepared for the arrival of our uninvited guests. They even waved to us as Vietnamese soldiers at the beginning...

What are they doing here? Helping the Vietnamese army build fortifications? But it doesn't look like it. When we passed by Tong Deng, we found that there were almost no houses for living, so we could still see so many Vietnamese people gathering here.

When I saw them carrying the damaged cement blocks on the mountain with simple tools, I quickly understood their intentions - this is the former site of Guitun Fort. When Guitun Fort was blown up by our army, at least nearly a thousand Vietnamese troops were buried alive here. This can be said to be a major tragedy of the Vietnamese army. So after they "occupied" Tong Deng again, the first thing they did was to dig out these buried Vietnamese troops.
