Chapter 117 The Defense of the Vietnamese Army

Chapter 117 The Defense of the Vietnamese Army

There were figures running everywhere, and I was only one step later than the soldiers. I couldn't tell the difference between the smoke of the grenade and the smoke of gunpowder. But it didn't matter if I couldn't tell the difference, as long as the soldiers could tell the difference.

I have to admit that sniper rifles cannot play any role at this time, because at this time, the enemy and us are very close to each other and are often face-to-face. Therefore, even a good sniper rifle may not be as good as a shoddy submachine gun in this case.

However, even if I can't tell the difference between the enemy and me, I can still judge the situation of the war. As soon as the soldiers rushed in, they fought against the weak flanks of the Vietnamese army and even the backs, making the Vietnamese army scream and mess around.

There is a huge storage room on our left, where dozens of Vietnamese soldiers are resting, ready to rotate or "add fuel" to the Vietnamese soldiers who are defending outside the house at any time. The soldiers would not let them go. A few grenades were thrown into it and the Vietnamese soldiers fell from the corner. Then two machine guns sealed the Vietnamese soldiers in the house...

The bones of the Vietnamese Japanese were also very hard. Although the house was beaten like a meat grinder by us, they would rather die than surrender. They wanted to escape, but the exit was blocked by our army's machine guns, so they had to resist in the house with tables, chairs, doors, windows and other objects.

However, our fifth company fought the troops since the war started. The soldiers had accumulated a lot of combat experience on the battlefield, so this little resistance certainly could not help them. After the two grenades brought out a cloud of smoke, a soldier suddenly turned out from the corner...

With a "Teng...", the brick house of dozens of square meters suddenly turned into a purgatory, and screams followed. Dozens of figures covered in fire were crawling and jumping wildly inside, which was not an exaggeration to describe them as ants in a hot nest. After a while, they gradually stopped moving and no sound. The air soon filled with the smell of gasoline and a disgusting smell of barbecue.

The Vietnamese army on the right were not easy. They focused their guns and attention on the outdoor streets, and they never thought we would break into the wall from the side. As soon as our army rushed in, they slammed their backs, and a lot of bullets fell down. They were lucky and reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the door, but they were facing members of our army's shooting team ambushing on the commanding heights...

Outside the doors and windows are the positions and tanks built by the Vietnamese army with sandbags. There is no doubt that they were already surrounded by our army on three sides, and a rain of bullets fell down many Vietnamese army before they could react to what was going on. The T54 tanks completely exposed their weak flanks to our muzzles. They would not be polite to these fat soldiers who were giving them mouths. They set up a rocket launcher and "boom" just a few guns, which only exploded to the tanks and instantly smoke and flames rose.

There was a tank that was caught in the middle and avoided the fate of being destroyed by our bazooka, but it then found helplessly that there were destroyed tanks on both sides, and there were several People's Liberation Army's Type 59 medium tanks rushing up fiercely, and it had no chance to escape at all...

The battle ended quickly. This game, which was a sacrificial group of soldiers in other troops for several days, could not capture even a large number of soldiers. It only lasted for more than ten minutes under our command. A few more than one hundred people in a company of Vietnam could escape, and the price we paid was just a dozen people in the melee.

When the battle ended, the entire *** situation seemed to have been killed in a massacre, with blood and corpses everywhere, as well as a whole room of weapons and ammunition...

So when Platoon Leader Lin, who was following behind, came through the doorway, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak on the spot when he saw us achieving such a great victory so easily.

"Battery Commander!" After instructing the soldiers to clean the battlefield, Li Zhifu asked at the weapons and ammunition in the room: "How to deal with these things? We can't bring so many! Should we blow them up or..."

I casually looked at the batch of ammunition, including bullets, shells, and many anti-tank weapons. Some of them were even Type 69 rocket launchers produced by our country. The words "Made in China" were clearly written on the wooden box. These must have been reserved by the Vietnamese army to defend the *** Bureau. With this batch of ammunition, even if there is no bullets coming from the rear, it will be enough for us to shoot for a few days.

But then I quickly thought...will the Vietnamese army be willing to let us get this batch of ammunition?

Our army did not dare to use long-range artillery to bomb civilian houses on a large scale because of international public opinion. However, the Vietnamese army did not have such concerns because they could say that these bombed places had been occupied by our army.

Thinking of this, I said something bad, and hurriedly ordered to the intercom: "Everyone has it, leave the *** bureau as soon as possible and go forward at full speed! Repeat, leave the house and go forward at full speed!"

"yes!"

The soldiers have lived and died with me on the battlefield for a while, and most of them have a kind of almost blind trust in me, so although they don’t understand why I gave this order, they still executed my order without hesitation.

Soon the soldiers rushed out of the house in an orderly manner and rushed forward. As soon as I took the guards and got out of the house, I heard the whistling of shells from the sky. After a while, with the sound of "booming", houses exploded in the shells.

Wood chips, broken bricks, and gravel flew around behind us. Those old brick-concrete structures could not withstand the bombardment of these long-range artillery fires, and they fell into a mess in an instant. A few minutes later, when the Vietnamese army's shelling ended, we looked back and saw that the building, which was only ten meters tall, was now flattened into ruins like a big hand. Fortunately, we came out of the house first, otherwise we would probably be buried in it.

"Hey! How damn it!" Li Zhifu couldn't help but curse: "The Japanese invaders bombed their own house so fiercely!"

"Company Commander!" Al Ziri got up from the ground and patted the dust and said relaxedly: "These are no longer the Japanese houses... they were occupied by us just now, weren't they?"

"That's right!" Li Zhifu smiled and said, "Then let's occupy more houses to see how many Japanese devils can blow up. It's best if they themselves blow up all the houses in Lang Son!"

With a coaxing sound, the soldiers laughed, not as if they had just walked through the gates of hell and were lucky enough to save their lives.

"Keep going!" I gave orders to the soldiers.

Although what Li Zhifu said was a joke, it actually made some sense. At this time, the Vietnamese army must have known that we rely on the cover of the house to make a hole, but what can they do even if this is the case? Outside, the Vietnamese army had no idea where our main force was hidden. Not to mention that their artillery did not dare to act rashly under the suppression of our army, even if they dared to move... they didn't know where to blow it up.

So the soldiers made rapid progress with the hammers playing high and swung their hammers, and successfully won the *** school, the senior sanatorium and the provincial post office. Among them, the Vietnamese army also tried several methods to deal with our army's hole-breaking attack.

For example, if we set up firepower in the house in advance to build a defense line, our army would hit the wall as soon as they smashed holes on the wall. But our army gradually advanced with the situation of covering each other with the left, middle and right. Once the offensive in the house was blocked, a tank would soon rush forward to the house with full force and a "boom" toward the house. The gunfire and machine gun...

Later, the soldiers might have been tired of using iron hammers to open the road, and some people actually used rocket launchers to do it. It would be easier to use rocket launchers to open the road, and a big hole was found with a bang. However, many of the houses in the southern area were old and broken. On several occasions, a rocket shot over the entire wall fell, and the bricks and tiles on their heads fell down. Fortunately, the soldiers hid quickly without casualties, but then the soldiers no longer dared to use the bazooka to explode the wall with the bazooka.

"Battery Commander!" As our army was pursuing the wall and searching, the correspondent who had been following me handed the microphone to me and said, "Telephone number of the division headquarters!"

"Um!" When I heard that it was the division headquarters phone call, I realized that I had not reported the situation to my superiors for a long time, so I hurriedly took the microphone.

Commander Wang on the other end of the phone sounded very good and asked happily: "How is the situation? I forgot to report it when I chased the Japanese all the way!"

"Report to the division commander, everything is normal!" I quickly replied: "We have successfully taken the provincial post office, and now it is only a few hundred meters away from the municipal government!"

"Oh! So fast!" Commander Wang on the other end of the microphone laughed: "Comrade Xiao Cui! Our army has had a headache for several days, but I didn't expect that today it would be solved by you! The facts prove that your method is very effective, and the attacks of the troops in other directions of our army are also very smooth, but their speed is not as fast as you! Look... should you slow down first? Otherwise, you may be alone and deeply trapped in the dilemma of being surrounded!"

"Slow down?" I said a little worriedly: "Teacher, using this method to attack means that you should chase and fight hard all the way. If you slow down, you will be afraid that it will give the Vietnamese army time to prepare. If you fight again, you will be in trouble!"

"You are right!" Division Commander Wang replied: "But in fact, the troops are generally behind your troops, and it is also dangerous to continue to fight like this. I don't want you, Zhuge Liang, to fall into the enemy's siege, so I'd better ease it!"

"Yes!" I replied.

Since the teacher said so, I would have any other opinions. I turned around and conveyed the order.

By the way, our troops were not concentrated in several rooms, but were attacking and dispersing the troops along the way. This would prevent the Vietnamese army from finding out the location of our main force and firing a firecracker to take us to the company. At the same time, because the houses were all opened, once the soldiers were needed to replenish them, they could pull dozens of soldiers up at any time when they shouted back through the walkie-talkie.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that once the soldiers received the order to stand on time, they immediately built fortifications in their respective houses in case of emergency. This has become a habit for the troops under my command.

Later facts also proved that my concerns were right, especially the direction of our attack was the Lang Son Municipal Government, which was very concentrated, and it also threatened the retreat of the Vietnamese People's Army base... So during our rest period, the Vietnamese army also got a chance to breathe and arranged some fortifications that we unexpectedly had.

"Battery Commander!" During the rest, Li Zhifu sat down beside me, handed me a red tower with his injured hand, and said, "Long San is about to be defeated. What do you think we should fight next?"

"That's more to say?"

I don’t know if it was Li Zhifu’s cigarettes attractive or if this topic was particularly good, but several soldiers around me quickly surrounded me.

Al Ziri snatched the cigarette from Li Zhifu's hand and said quickly, "The next step is of course to fight to the capital of the Vietnamese Japanese. It is said that Lang San is the gateway to Hanoi. The door has been knocked open, so there is no reason not to go in!"

"That's it! Go to Hanoi and give them some excellence!"

"Look at them, they brag about being a third military power! Blade them down and let them brag!"

...

Other soldiers also agreed.

I remained silent and said nothing. Seeing Li Zhifu's left hand holding a cigarette trembling, I changed the subject and said, "How is it? The injury on my hand is okay!"

"It's okay!" Li Zhifu responded, then remembered the Vietnamese child again, and he felt angry again, and cursed with gritted teeth: "I'm really blind! I'll wave my tail at me if I save a dog..."

"Who asked you to save the enemy?" Alziri quipped: "My kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. You now understand how reasonable this is!"

"Go away, don't say sarcastic words aside..." Li Zhifu was angry, and his face suddenly turned red and white when Al Ziri said this, which made the soldiers amused.

At this time, an explosion suddenly came from the front, which made the tiles on our heads fall down one by one. The soldiers hurriedly lay down on the spot and raised their weapons. But the explosion sounded for only a while and disappeared, and no shells exploded on our heads, nor did the enemy attack us.

When the soldiers were wondering, they hugged their waists and ran back to me and reported to me: "Battery Commander... The Japanese devils don't know what they are doing. They are using explosives to explode their houses!

"Explode your own house?" I was stunned when I heard this, but after thinking about it, I quickly understood that the Vietnamese army was creating fault defense in the middle of the house!

He walked through several door holes with a rifle and looked out through the observation hole. As the warrior said, the several buildings in front of him had already blown into ruins. Broken bricks and broken tiles and broken beams were piled up all over the ground, like small high grounds, crossing our middle. On the other side, the Vietnamese army hundreds of meters away chiseled a perforation hole on the side of the house and put machine guns on it. The house was soon converted into a simple bunker.

It was indeed a good idea! Seeing this, I couldn't help but praise it secretly. This Japanese devil is really not a big deal.

In fact, this method is also simple. It is often used when houses catch fire. When there is a fire, people often pull down the houses that have not been burned by the fire to prevent the fire from spreading. Now... when our fire is burning towards the Vietnamese army, they also use this method to solve the problem.

It can be seen that the room opposite was also carefully selected by the Vietnamese army. It was a rare small reinforced concrete building. Although it only has two floors, it is very strong. It is not the kind that will collapse with a rocket launcher.

"Battery Commander! What should I do?" Li Zhifu, who followed me, asked behind me.

"You can't let the enemy organize a good defense!" I replied, "Because the enemy has not yet gained a foothold, the fortifications are not very complete, and immediately launch an attack to take down those small buildings!"

"Yes!" Li Zhifu responded, and then asked, "Do you want to ask your superiors for advice?"

"It's too late!" I replied, "The faster the time is, the better. I will immediately transfer the tanks to organize the attack!"

"Yes!" Li Zhifu responded and immediately conveyed my order.

Seven 59s quickly drove up. After they drove out of the street, they spread out on the ruins and made an attacking posture. Then the infantrymen were preparing to charge, and then the mortars, rocket launchers, recoilless cannons and heavy machine guns were also adjusted...

It took us only more than ten minutes to complete these actions, which made the Vietnamese army on the opposite side nervous, and they were both mobilizing troops and tanks, which was completely different from the troops with decades of practical combat history.

However, this is not surprising. Just like ordinary people often do something wrong in their lives, they will face the subsequent things with a very bad mental state, and the worse they do, and the more they do, the more they do, the more they do. On the contrary, if they have a good start, they will use a good mentality to solve the next problem, so that they can often do it better and smoother.

The same is true for troops to fight. It should be said that if a unit is frustrated, it will affect not only one person, but everyone in the entire unit. This is what we usually call morale. Although this thing cannot be seen or touched, it really exists.

The Vietnamese army obviously belongs to the former situation, while our army belongs to the kind of one who has a good start and the more they fight.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready, I didn't want to give the Vietnamese army more time, so I immediately ordered to the intercom: "Everyone has it! Fight!"

"Boom..." The battle started soon, and mortars, tank guns and various light and heavy weapons all spit out flames at the Vietnamese positions, causing only a flash of fire and smoke on the opposite side, and gravel and bricks bursting everywhere.
