Chapter 122 Tank Sneak Battle

Chapter 122 Tank Sneak Battle

"Boom..." One round of artillery shells exploded near our position. Some of these bombs were killer bombs and some burned, causing smoke and flames to be everywhere on our position, and the air was filled with strong smell of gunpowder and gasoline. In addition, the scorching sun made the soldiers sweat and dry mouth.

The Vietnamese army obviously didn't want to give us some rest, so their offensive had just been attacked by us and immediately poured shells into our army. If it was just a fight, that would be fine, but the soldiers and I knew that if this situation continued, the Vietnamese army would soon launch an attack on our army.

This is obvious. The Vietnamese army has no time to wait. The three regiments of the 128th Division's offensive against the People's Army's garrison are getting tighter. The Vietnamese army will wait for one minute more, which means that their troops will be more dangerous. What's more, the Vietnamese army also knows how to use fatigue tactics, just like the US military divided the troops into several batches on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to attack us in turn.

But the soldiers of the fifth company were not scared by the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army. At this time, they had grown into a mature army. Isn't this? They spontaneously got busy on the battlefield without my order. Some transported the wounded into the city government building and then transported boxes of ammunition out of the building. Some waved the engineer's shovels and the fortifications that were blown up by the Vietnamese army. Some even climbed to the position in front of the position with artillery fire...

A unit that can conquer and fight is not necessarily the quality of individual soldiers, nor is it necessarily the excellent commander. Instead, every person and part of the army know what to do and what to prepare at any moment on the battlefield. I think the soldiers of the fifth company have met this requirement.

While watching the soldiers prepare in an orderly manner, I took the kettle and turned the lid and poured it into my mouth... At this time, I found that the kettle had a hole in the shrapnel at some point, and the water inside had already leaked.

"Battery Commander! Give it..." Li Zhifu handed me his kettle.

Without saying a word, I took the kettle and took a few sips. At the same time, I cursed in my heart: Damn the Japanese, you are just ***, why are you still shooting a fire bomb? You almost roasted everyone to dry.

After taking a few sips of the kettle back to Li Zhifu, he asked, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go to command the battle?"

"Battery Commander..." Li Zhifu said helplessly: "I'm here to report to you. The Japanese devils cut off our water source. We have no water now..."

"What?" I was shocked when I heard this and asked, "When did it happen? Why did I report it now?"

"I just found out!" Li Zhifu replied: "Actually, it should be the one who caused the Vietnamese army when it launched an attack on us!"

I couldn't help but feel angry. This is the consequence of not having urban warfare experience! I should have thought that the Vietnamese army would cut off our water source. After all, it only takes the water supply pipe to be dug. Although I can't stop the Vietnamese army from doing this, I can completely let the soldiers store some water in advance. Now, we are about to face a water shortage. I think this is also the reason why the Vietnamese army fired incendiary bombs at our army so frequently!

"Battery Commander!" Li Zhifu lay beside me and looked in the direction of the Vietnamese army, saying, "The Vietnamese Japanese were really unexpected to us last time, and they fought ruthlessly! We almost couldn't hold on. What other way do you think they would play this time?"

"No matter what kind of playing style he has!" Shunzi came up to answer the mouth at some point and said, "As long as they dare to come up, we will have a way to beat them!"

Looking at Shunzi's perseverance and fierce look on his face, I could hardly believe that he was the one who raised his hands and shouted in the recruit camp with a gun and said, "Don't shoot! I surrender..."

"Shunzi!" Al Ziri joked from the side: "Are you not counting on the army to live a good life? Why are you now..."

"Hi! Why are you talking about those things?" Shunzi replied embarrassedly: "What kind of farming is going to be a good life? What can this be compared to life?"

Yes! I nodded secretly, what credits and honors... The soldiers on the battlefield actually didn't think about those things at all. Their idea was actually very simple, which was to save the lives of themselves and their comrades. How can we save the lives of ourselves and our comrades? Then there is only one way to go, that is, to unite with our comrades to defeat the enemy.

So... I think of what our superiors let us go, and what is the arrangement of work immediately after making contributions, etc., which is really ridiculous! Our soldiers are killed on the battlefield, and even paid their lives. Is it just for the benefits that I don’t know if they can fulfill? If your life is gone, how can we turn to agriculture into illegal things?

"Stop the sound!" At this time, the motor sound that was not obvious aroused my alert. I immediately raised my hand to signal the soldiers to be quiet, and frowned and asked, "What sound?"

"Voice?" The soldiers looked at each other in confusion, then calmed down and listened carefully for a while.

Li Zhifu shook his head and said, "There is no sound! It's just gunshots, cannons..."

"No!" I replied, "It seems like there is a motor sound!"

Although these sounds were not so obvious in the rumbling guns, I still grasped this sensitively.

"Motor sound?" The soldiers listened carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "It seems...it's a bit! Maybe it's the Japanese car..."

"No! It's a tank!" I was shocked when I thought of this. I soon thought of the Vietnamese People's Army's base. Does that mean that the Vietnamese army will use tanks to charge our army?

Another thing that makes me feel uneasy is that I can hear the motor of the Vietnamese tanks in the sound of gunfire. Does that mean that the tanks have already reached our vicinity?

It's impossible! We didn't see the shadow of the tank at all. How could the tank be nearby? Even if our sight was blocked by the building, the soldiers on the municipal government building were observing condescendingly! How could they not see it?

Then I quickly thought of something and quickly aimed the aperture of the telescope at the houses opposite the street. Sure enough, I found that the houses were spewing a lot of dust in rows. However, because the Vietnamese army kept approaching our positions, there were smoke and dust everywhere above our positions, so I didn't realize it!

These Vietnamese Japanese are really cunning. Not only did they learn how to use houses to attack sneak attacks, but now they have turned into using tanks to attack sneak attacks, but they also knew to use the explosion of shells and the dust raised to cover up the sounds made by tanks when they move and the exhaust gas and dust released...

"Call up all the anti-tank weapons! Order Battalion Commander Wu and all the tank troops come to reinforce!" I hurriedly ordered Li Zhifu beside me.

"Yes!" Li Zhifu responded without any hesitation, turned around and took a group of soldiers to the ammunition depot in the municipal government building. At the same time, he sent someone to convey my order to Battalion Commander Wu.

As I grabbed my rifle and ran to the side, I ordered to the intercom: "Everyone has it, be prepared for anti-tanks! All the bazooka and recoil-free cannons are aimed at the houses across the street to fire! Repeat, the houses across the target street and fire immediately!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded immediately.

"Chirky..." Then with the unique roar of rockets, more than a dozen rockets flew to the opposite house with their long tails. Then there was a loud bang, and the house immediately ignited a raging fire...

At this time, the Vietnamese army's artillery fire suddenly stopped, and then the rumbling sounds broke into our eardrums, like a burst of muffled thunder that passed by, like millions of horses running around us, like a flood breaking through the dam... There is no doubt that the enemy's tanks are right in front of us, but we can't see where they are!

So we just waited like this, waiting quietly!

Suddenly, a piece of wall of the house across the street protruded, and a black gun barrel stretched out from the house like a hand from hell. Then the entire wall was bombed and collapsed, and a tank broke out from the house and rushed towards our position...

Then the Vietnamese army tanks came out of the house one by one and set up a formation in front of us. Good guy, the whole row of tanks appeared neatly in front of us as if we were to review, at least thirty! T34, t54, t55... There were all, and I even saw two American "Penshing". But there were no t62. I think that maybe it was because the t62 was too large and it was not suitable to walk through the house!

I have to admit that this is indeed a good idea. If the Vietnamese tanks just come along the street, you can imagine that they can easily discover them, and once we are destroyed, the first few will soon block their way forward.

However, now, as soon as these tanks appeared, they had all their firepower directed at us.

The battle started the moment the tank was ready, but it seemed that it was not a battle at all, because we had no power to fight back. The Vietnamese tanks frantically shot us with shells and balls of bullets. Only then did I realize what it means to sweep the fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Those bullets and shells were scattered towards us like an airtight net. We had almost no choice except to hide in the trenches and hide in anti-cannon holes...

But I was not worried that the Vietnamese tanks would rush into our position directly, because we had already dug a deep anti-tank trench in front of the position.

Fortunately, this is the case. Otherwise, I believe these thirty or more tanks are enough to knock us into sieves or press them under the tracks when we are anxious and reacting.

"Kill!" At this time, the hysterical roar of the Vietnamese army came from the gunshots and cannons.

I know that this is the Vietnamese infantry starting to attack us again. I really want to come forward to fight, but the helpless thing is that the barrage formed on the head is airtight. Our heads are just exposed a little bit, and it will soon be smashed into pieces, let alone resist. Dozens of tanks are shooting close to our positions, and the firepower is not a joke.

Fortunately, Battalion Commander Wu's tank battalion also drove up at this time and joined the battlefield without saying a word.

Battalion Commander Wu's tank battalion had twenty-three Type 59 tanks. Originally, a tank battalion had a full range of forty-five tanks, but due to the loss of several in the blocking battle of the Qiqionghe Bridge, some of which broke down along the way, so only twenty-three can participate in the battle.

Originally, these tanks were left in the center of the Iron Triangle as a reserve force, waiting for the stronghold to reinforce in which direction, but now there is still so much to take care of, so they all pulled them up in one breath.

As soon as Captain Wu's tank entered the battlefield, we obviously felt that the pressure on our heads was much less. After all, the muzzles of the Vietnamese tanks also shifted their shooting direction, and their machine guns could not shoot at us so unscrupulously. So we got a chance to breathe and poked out our weapons to shoot at the enemy.

I raised my rifle and looked at it. I was shocked by the scene in front of me. Looking around, there were Vietnamese troops charging towards our army and tanks moving slowly.

The Vietnamese army was not large in number, just like two companies. After all, they had to divide a large part of their troops to deal with the three regiments of the 128th Division. But their tanks increased, and two or ten were slowly driven out on the other end of the street. This made me see almost a sea of ​​tanks...

Later I realized that the Vietnamese army actually wanted to use tanks to forcibly break through our position. Their plan was that instead of sitting in the People's Army base and waiting for death, it was better to gather together to launch a strong attack on weak parts of the enemy. Even if we could not occupy our position, their tanks could rely on solid armor to cross our position and join other troops.

Therefore, in this battle, they sent all the tanks in the People's Army station, with a total of more than fifty vehicles. There were dozens of various cannons pulled by cars behind them.

This almost made me wonder if we could use the weapons in our hands to block the enemy's attack. But no matter how suspicious I still know that if I can win at this time, I can fight, and if I can't win, I can fight.

This is not to complete the task. In fact, I have always believed that the lives of the soldiers are the most important. What's more, even if these Vietnamese troops are asked to rush through our defense, I'm afraid they will not be able to escape the encirclement of our army.

The reason why I gritted my teeth and didn't retreat was that the fierce gunfire from the hotel and school told me that we had actually surrounded the Vietnamese army and had no way out. The second was that... when the enemy and us were so close, as long as we retreated, the rest was the massacre of our Vietnamese army...

"Fight!" So I shouted at the soldiers and pulled the trigger to the enemy who rushed up.

After a fierce gunfire, all the Vietnamese troops rushing towards us were beaten to the point where people were overturned and blood was splattered. However, the Vietnamese troops had more than 30 tanks to support them, and their firepower had a very obvious advantage. Although our army also had tanks to join the battle in time, the weak was that we did not have a suitable terrain to unfold more than 20 tanks at the same time.

Therefore, soldiers are constantly bombarded and strafed by Vietnamese tanks during the resistance. The Vietnamese army's tank guns and machine guns specifically chose our army's light machine guns, heavy machine guns and other firepower points to bomb and strafed.

With a "boom!", a t54 tank rotated its turret and fired a shell and hit a heavy machine gun in our army. Three heavy machine gunners were immediately blown away. Even the heavy machine gun was thrown high into the air and then fell heavily to the ground and turned into a pile of scrap iron.

"Dadada..." The Vietnamese tanks rely on our army's firepower and could not match them at all, so they all drilled out the tank and controlled the anti-aircraft machine guns outside the tank and fired rows of bullets at us. A piece of bullets came over, and several soldiers beside them were shot out and several big holes were poured into a pool of blood.

Our army now relies on almost only Battalion Commander Wu's tanks and machine guns and mortars on the municipal government building, but these firepowers were soon suppressed by the enemy's tank guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

Perhaps the Vietnamese army thought the overall situation had been decided, so they calmly filled the anti-tank trenches with several engineering vehicles converted from tanks. Then the Vietnamese army took the AK47 and launched a final charge towards our position...

The firepower difference between the enemy and us was too great, and the battle situation was almost one-sided. I could almost imagine the scene where the Vietnamese army rushed to us and then killed us one by one.

However, the soldiers of the fifth company did not give up, nor did I give up!

What should we do? If we continue like this, we can only wait for the grenades thrown by the Vietnamese army, and then we will have the ending of annihilation of the entire army.

Suddenly I thought - during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, we also won battles again and again under the huge firepower gap between the enemy and us?

Yes! Why did I forget the old methods of the volunteer army? When the firepower gap between the enemy and us is the most taboo thing to fight with the enemy. I should rush up and snatch the enemy together!

Thinking of this, I immediately shouted to the intercom: "Everyone has it, put on the bayonet! Prepare for grenade..."

The soldiers were stunned when they heard this. There were enemy tanks everywhere outside, and we were bayonets? Should we use bayonets to deal with enemy tanks?

But no matter how confused they were, they still executed my order without hesitation!

I looked up and saw that the Vietnamese army was getting closer and closer to us. I shouted: "Grenade!"

As he said that, he pulled the grenades at the fastest speed and threw them towards the enemy... The soldiers also followed me to throw out the grenades that had been prepared long ago.

A burst of "Boom..." sounded, and a row of grenades exploded with smoke and dust in front of the position, and at the same time slowed down the speed of the charge Vietnamese army.

At this time, I shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades! Go!"
Chapter completed!
