Chapter 197: Cannon Attack

Chapter 197: Cannon Attack

A few minutes later, the 169th Highland also fell, which also put us on the 142th Highland under greater pressure. Although I soon sent a team of shooting team members to suppress the threat from the 169th Highland, the shells still flew towards us with a crazy roar.

Most of these shells are mortar shells, which is also the cleverness of the Japanese invaders. Because if they use mortars, they can hide in bunkers and fire at our positions, so there is no need to worry about our snipers. What makes me even more troubled is that the Vietnamese troops on the high ground on both sides quickly organized infantry to charge us, which forced me to divide my troops into three parts and guard three directions.

But even so, I still didn't let the artillery troops open fire because there were not enough reinforcements from the Vietnamese army.

It should be said that the Vietnamese reinforcements advanced very quickly. Their tanks were driving at full speed and rushed forward with full horsepower. The Vietnamese troops following closely followed either took cars or ran forward, and many even advanced directly on tanks. However, the Gushuikou seemed too narrow at this time, so that after a while, there were still not many Vietnamese troops crossing Gushuikou.

Maybe my heart is too big, but in fact, there are quite a few Vietnamese troops, but this is how people are. When it is beneficial to them, they will hope for a little more, a little more, just like no one will ever think that there is too much money...

With a "boom!", a shell landed accurately in our trenches. In an instant, several soldiers were beaten to roll out of the trenches and had no idea of ​​life and death.

The Vietnamese army on both wings quickly played a role in the firepower threat to ours. Our firepower was suppressed by the Vietnamese army to a certain extent. As one rises and the other goes down, the Vietnamese army's firepower on the front attack rose. This can be seen from the casualties of our army and the continuous forward movement of the Vietnamese army's front line.

But I still gritted my teeth and held back tightly. I knew the strength of the special reconnaissance brigade under my command. I knew that they would never compromise with the enemy at any time and would never retreat at any time. I also believed that they could completely block the attacks of these enemies in front of me. So I still gritted my teeth and pulled the trigger to send bullets into the enemy's chest, knocking them to the ground one by one...

Finally, when the tank troops of the Vietnamese reinforcements were only a few hundred meters away from us, I turned around and shouted at the communications soldier beside me: "Let go!"

"Let me!" The correspondent quickly conveyed my order.

Almost as soon as the communications soldiers shouted, a rocket-like sound came from the sky, and then a deafening explosion of "boom boom boom..." was heard. A violent vibration was as if we were hit by a heavy hammer. Then a raging fire broke out five hundred meters from the front of our defensive position. The reinforcements that had just crossed the Gushuikou had just arrived and most of them were burned to ashes by the fire.

Looking around, the Vietnamese tanks have turned into a ball of burning fireballs, and the cars were blown into pieces. The trees were hung with Vietnamese corpses and various organs. There were many Vietnamese soldiers covered in fire crying and howling on the ground. Some were lying on the ground and rolling around, while some were waving their arms and running around. The uninjured part rushed back to the clear water outlet like a tide. More people couldn't find the direction and drilled everywhere, searching around, shouting, insulting, and hitting each other...

Everyone was shocked. This was the case with our army and the Vietnamese army.

Although my soldiers were mentally prepared for this, they never thought that they had never seen a volley of our army's rocket launcher would have such great power. In just a few seconds, the seven-kilometer-long and three-kilometer-wide hilly area in front of us turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Not to mention the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese special forces achieved such great results in our army. They destroyed the artillery positions and collapsed the highway bridge. Therefore, the Vietnamese army thought that the artillery fire of our army was at most symbolic to fire a few guns, but unexpectedly, such a powerful rocket launcher suddenly appeared...

At this moment, both the offensive and defensive forces stopped their movements, as if they had forgotten that they were still on the battlefield.

At this time, I only felt my insignificance in my heart, because compared with the scene in front of me, what we are fighting for is nothing. I and more than 100 people under my command were able to guard this small highland with their lives. However, the artillery troops only need one order to cover a range of dozens of square kilometers.

However, it was not just these shocking our army and the Vietnamese troops. What followed the roar of rocket launchers just passed through the air was the whistling of artillery shells, and then another piece of artillery shell exploded on the land where the rockets had just exploded. 85 cannons, 122 howitzers, 100 mortars, 152 howitzers, etc. All kinds of artillery fires were bombarded at the valley surrounded by Daliang Mountain, Qingning Mountain and Faka Mountain in front of our position. The near blast point was only two hundred meters away from the front of our position, and the far one hit Daliang Mountain and Qingning Mountain... Later I learned that in addition to bombarding in front of us, our artillery fire also launched a devastating bombardment on the deep artillery positions of the Vietnamese army.

After a burst of artillery fire, the shells had no intention of stopping at all. They fought back and forth from front to back in the valley, and used shells to form a fire wall in front of us to isolate the front and back Vietnamese troops. The follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army were so severe that they could not move at all.

After the war, I realized that for this, our artillery troops had already set up a bombardment plan of "leading sheep into the pen, intercepting in segments, closing the door and killing dogs, and seeking complete annihilation."

Needless to say, "inducing sheep into the circle", it is actually what I decided to lure the Vietnamese army into the encirclement and enter the defense zone of our army. The so-called "segmental interception" means using our army's powerful artillery firepower to completely disrupt the Vietnamese army's combat formation so that it cannot be looked at each other from beginning to end; "Close the door and fight the dog" means using various artillery fire to close the valley water outlet at the entrance of the canyon, so that the Vietnamese army's subsequent troops cannot enter the reinforcement, and the Vietnamese army troops that have entered the canyon cannot enter and go back and forth; "Seeking for annihilation" means using artillery fire and infantry to basically annihilate the Vietnamese army troops entering the canyon in this middle area.

According to this strategic policy, our army used two artillery regiments to fully strive to reach the Gushuikou Canyon area, so that the Vietnamese troops outside "cannot enter one person, and cannot go out"; one artillery regiment supports our infantry battle; two artillery regiments and five rocket battalions carried out repeated comb-head shooting at the frontiers of our defensive positions; three small-caliber artillery battalions carried out large-density bombardment on the shooting dead corners of the depressions, hills and back slopes...

This is how the two artillery divisions and five rocket artillery battalions of the artillery unit are used. After knowing this, I realized that the artillery fire aid of the artillery unit is actually not that simple. You only need to know the coordinates and orientations, and you also need to make reasonable firepower distribution and division of labor.

Of course, these are all later things, but we didn't care about so much at this time, because the battle started again after we were stunned for a few minutes.

I don’t know who fired the first shot, but both sides of the war understood one thing, so we can’t stop fighting just because the cannons were blown up in front of us.

This cannon is undoubtedly the best news for our army, because it seized all the reinforcements and hopes of the Vietnamese army, making the Vietnamese army in front of us an isolated army. However, it was just the opposite. They just wanted to attack our army's position with the determination to win. Unexpectedly, the battlefield situation had a major change of 180 degrees in just a few minutes. The Vietnamese army now seemed to be defeated...

But the Vietnamese army did not admit defeat. Instead, they roared and rushed towards our position in groups with guns at a faster speed. Before, the Vietnamese army's charge also focused on some tactics and some cooperation between firepowers, but now they seemed to be rushing towards our position in an unruly manner.

Some soldiers were puzzled by the group-style charges of the Vietnamese army after the war. They thought it was a very stupid behavior, because this group-style charge was proven to be useless shortly after the invention of the machine gun, and not to mention that the individual weapons have developed to AK47 now.

But I understand the Vietnamese army's approach. In fact, the Vietnamese army has no way out. Behind them is the firewall formed by our army's artillery fire. In front of it is the condescending infantry position of our army. In addition, they also know that our reinforcements will come soon, so they don't have so much time to pay attention to tactics and conceal... They only have one way, that is, to take down our position as soon as possible and build a line of defense. Only in this way can we block the attack of our reinforcements.

Or it can be said that the sudden appearance of our army's fierce artillery fire has disrupted all the plans of the Vietnamese army and made them mess up...

What makes me feel a little ridiculous is that at this time, the only high ground we are stationed in the front line was firmly in the hands of our army. It is precisely because of this that we became an obstacle to the Vietnamese army's defense line and a gap in their defense line. So we naturally became thorns in their eyes...

"Fight!" Of course, I would not be polite to the Vietnamese army's large-scale suicide charge. I shouted at the radio and pulled the trigger of the rifle.

The soldiers also raised their guns and pulled the trigger to shoot bullets at their respective targets. The Vietnamese army fell in front of us in pieces and rushed up in pieces, like the sea water at high tide.
