Chapter 203: The Suicide Squad

I often update two chapters in a row these days. Many book friends may only see the next chapter but not the previous chapter. Here I would like to remind you that soldiers often close to the dark room, and sometimes they only come out and upload it at one time after the two chapters are finished. Please note if there is another chapter missing in the previous chapter.

Chapter 203: The Suicide Squad

"Bang bang..." After a few gunshots, several Vietnamese soldiers fell down under the guns of me and the members of the shooting team.

The Vietnamese army launched a group attack, which is the world of machine gunners and submachine gunners. Now the Vietnamese army has changed its tactical methods to launch such a delivery and cover attack on us... It is time for us snipers to show our heart's content.

The individual soldiers of the Vietnamese army are indeed very strong. They jumped forward in front of our positions, advancing and retreating from time to time, and sometimes they made false moves like dancing to confuse our army's sight. From time to time, people were lying in hidden places with AK47s and machine guns in hidden places to shoot at us to put pressure on our army...

However, they chose the wrong place to perform. This is the 142 Highland. Our special reconnaissance brigade is stationed on this highland. Needless to mention the members of the shooting team, they are veritable sharpshooters. The training over the past few months has made me very clear about their strength. Even if they are not distinguished from me in terms of marksmanship. In fact, when the marksmanship has reached a certain level, it is difficult for each other to distinguish between them by gun targets. The real difference is the ability to adapt to changes and react speed in actual combat.

However, the current actual combat also proves that they are indeed worthy of the title of sniper. Because some of the shooting team members have replenished the two adjacent highlands, at this time, there were only five shooting team members on the 142 highlands, including me. Although the number is small, it is enough to put strong mental pressure on the Vietnamese army attacking us.

Not to mention the nearest, those are not the targets that the members of the shooting team like to choose. They will only kill a few soldiers charging towards us when they are shooting. The farthest one is the Vietnamese tanks 800 meters away... Of course, sniper rifles cannot be equipped with tank armor. The penetration power of the svd is very strong, but they are not strong enough to be an anti-tank gun. However, sniper rifles can control anti-fire machine guns on tanks...

So, we just assigned two members of the shooting team, so that the anti-aircraft machine guns on the tank and the infantry hiding behind the tank became decorations.

Some people may say that the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun equipped on the Vietnamese tank... its flat firing range is 1,500 meters, and this range is far beyond the range of the SVD sniper rifle in our hands. Isn't it enough for the Vietnam Japanese to retreat for a certain distance? Why is there a phenomenon of sniper rifle easily suppressing the anti-aircraft machine gun?

The key to the problem is that the valley on the front of our army's defense is full of undissipated smoke. If the Vietnamese tanks really retreat a distance of 1,000 meters away, they are afraid that their shooters will not even see which ones are their own people and which ones are the enemies.

The Vietnamese army arranged some infantry behind the tank, like other troops. The task of this part of the infantry is of course to organize long-range firepower to cover the attack of the existing troops, so the weapons equipped by these infantry are either long-range mortars, heavy machine guns, and even sniper rifles.

Of course, the quality of the Vietnamese snipers was not low. Then the place where they suffered was that there was no hidden place at all. The previous seven-hour continuous bombing of our army's artillery fire extended outwards with five hundred meters ahead of our position. That is to say, from five hundred meters ahead of our position, whether it was stone or trees, they were all razed to the ground by an ancient brain. This made the Vietnamese snipers have no place to display at all. The only one who could hide was behind the tank, but those tanks were like lice on the scorched earth, which made people see it at a glance. The members of the shooting team could easily lock them behind the tank. As long as they dared to show a head, they would pull the trigger... After five heads were blown out by us one after another, they would never dare to try again.

The cover force was not effective, and the Vietnamese troops charging towards me were under all the pressure from our army. The remaining three snipers, including me, could easily and comfortably show our skills on this stage.

With a "bang!", a Vietnamese army had just rushed out of the crater and took a quick step before I could take a shot back.

This guy is obviously a very experienced veteran and has specially trained tactical evasion actions, because he has used fake actions to avoid two bullets from the shooting team members. It is definitely not easy to make the shooting team members shoot down the opponent twice, so I spent some time locking the crater where he was hiding. What's funny is that before he died, he made a fake move like he had just tried to confuse me to shoot, but I waited until he emerged from the other side of the crater before pulling the trigger...

"Bang!" A gunshot was fired, and this time it was a bazooka shooter.

This Vietnamese army was very smart. He knew how to disguise himself. The front of our position was full of scorched earth with shells blown up, so he was painted black like his whole body. By the way, this seemed easy to do. He just needed to roll a few times on the ground. Even the rocket launcher in his hand was painted black, and then he lay on the scorched earth and aimed seriously at the fire point of our army.

It should be said that it is difficult to find him in a tense environment like the battlefield, so I was almost deceived by his disguise. If it weren't for the little light reflected from the 2.7-fold scope of the bazooka...

"Bang!" Another gunshot was heard, and a Vietnamese army who was jumping forward snorted and covered their chests and fell to the ground.

He is a sniper, a sniper mixed in ordinary soldiers. In order to conceal his identity, he even gave up his usual sniper rifle and switched to ak47.

I am also a sniper and know very well how courage it takes to replace a gun with a gun that is neither satisfactory nor very different in combat. I think I can't do this. I would rather let the enemy find out that I am a sniper than to replace the sniper rifle in my hand with an ak47...

However, he did it, and it should be said that he successfully deceived our eyes. It was not until he shot three of our soldiers in a row that attracted my attention. The reason why I was sure that he was a sniper was because most ordinary soldiers shot continuously when they were charging with the ak47, but he was used to shooting accurately with one shot like a rifle. So I shot him down as he aimed at the fourth target.

Five members of the shooting team fired a round of bullets at the Vietnamese army one after another. Although the firepower was not large, the focus was on precision. We blocked the Vietnamese army's offensive forcefully like an invisible big hand, so that they would take a step for a long time. Every inch of land they would have to leave behind...

Of course, the credit cannot be entirely calculated on the members of the shooting team. We put a lot of psychological pressure on the Vietnamese army, which made the Vietnamese army unable to let go of their hands and feet to charge. Then the soldiers holding submachine guns or machine guns had a lot of room for play. The soldiers could safely launch a comprehensive strike against the Vietnamese army under the cover of the shooting team. Many soldiers even cooperated with the members of the shooting team very tacitly, forming a perfect cooperation and firepower complementary between inaccurate continuous weapons and precise single-shot weapons, which only made the Vietnamese army in front of us stay at a distance of seven or eighty meters away from our army and could no longer move forward.

In fact, we were intentional about the Vietnamese army being able to advance to a distance of seven or eighty meters away. We can be said to be at ease against such an attack from the Vietnamese army. During the arduous training months, we no longer know how many times we practiced. Now on the battlefield, the soldiers only need to move according to the training process.

The reason why the Vietnamese army was placed at the forefront of our position was seventy or eighty meters... because this happened to be the distance where our army could throw grenades from a high place but the enemy could not throw us. According to our previous experience in the battlefield, this position was the distance where the enemy had to pay the most casualties. So at this time, we could say that we were fighting like fish in water, and occasionally we could take time to throw a few grenades down, but the Vietnamese army was getting more and more difficult to fight. Not only did they pay heavy casualties, but they were unable to move forward.

Seeing that the position we were stationed in was like this, I quickly felt relieved about the defense of the 142 Highlands. I put away my rifle and hid in the trenches and shouted at the radio: "Arziri, what's going on?"

Al Ziri is a member of the shooting team. His shooting level is comparable to other members, and his camouflage level is slightly higher than that of others, and he also has certain organizational capabilities. Therefore, Li Shuibo, who has any tasks that need to be blocked by himself, always likes to send him. Now he is the member of the shooting team responsible for commanding the 150th floor.

"Everything is normal!" Then I heard a gunshot, paused, and then reported: "The Vietnamese army broke through our position twice, but we all attacked..."

So I knew that the war was not as easy as Alziri said.

"Li Shuibo!" I then continued to ask, "What's the situation in the 169 Highland?"

I waited for a while but couldn't hear the answer, so I couldn't help asking again. After a long time, I heard Li Shuibo answer: "I just repelled the Vietnamese Japanese. The main attack direction of the Vietnamese army was on the 169th high ground, and our army suffered heavy casualties!"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. Li Shuibo was so busy that he didn't have time to answer. You can imagine how nervous the war in the 169 Highlands was.

Send troops to support the 169 Highland? Although our current defense is easy, the battlefield area is large and the troops are slightly insufficient, and we don’t even have a reserve force. If we draw troops to the ground, we are afraid that there will be gaps on the front line.

Don’t send troops there? Highland 169 will be in danger again. Of course, this is not what I hope. Not to mention anything else, if the Highland 169 is lost, it will undoubtedly be a threat to Highland 142…

However, the Vietnamese army did not give me any time to consider and adjust. Just when I was worried about the 150 and 169 high ground, I heard the people from my hometown shouting on the radio: "Battery Commander! There is something happening..."

I quickly changed my position and looked out and was shocked. At some point, there was a group of Vietnamese troops with naked upper bodies, red cloth tied on their heads and mud on their faces, and bullets and grenades hung on their bodies. They didn't even wear straw hat-shaped helmets that the Vietnamese troops often had. They just held the AK47 and various weapons and set up their formation at the foot of the mountain.

"Vietnamese suicide squad!" I heard Zhang Ziwang, the company commander of the Fourth Company, report to me: "Battery Commander, they are the suicide squads of the Vietnamese Japanese. I saw them fighting a few months ago. They are all core members of the Vietnamese army, with high military quality and no one is afraid of death. It is said that they have existed in the Vietnamese army for decades. As long as the "Vietnamese" fights, they are generally sure to win!"

"Damn it!" I couldn't help but curse inwardly. What era is it that I can still play this trick. But then I frowned again. I knew that this suicide squad is actually nothing great when modern individual weapons are highly developed, that is, the trigger will still be broken. However, we veterans can calm down, while those PLA soldiers who have no combat experience in the neighboring highlands may not be able to calm down...

Before I could react, the Vietnamese suicide squad roared and rushed towards our position. They were a lot of people, with about two hundred in front of each high ground, and their playing style was indeed as destined as Zhang Ziwang said. It looked like Rambo in the movie. Everyone was holding submachine guns, rushing while shooting, and occasionally they would lie down and roll or look for craters to change magazines.

It was then that I realized that these suicide squads were not as simple as I thought, because these suicide squads were mixed in ordinary Vietnamese troops to charge us. The firepower of the suicide squads shooting at us regardless of life and death can undoubtedly become a cover for ordinary Vietnamese troops. We had to point our targets at those suicide squad members who were shooting guns, and at this time, ordinary Vietnamese troops could take advantage of the gap to launch an attack on our positions. And if we turn our attention to ordinary Vietnamese troops, those suicide squads would rush faster...

So the pressure we faced quickly increased exponentially, but even so, the special reconnaissance brigade under my command could barely withstand the charge of the Vietnamese army. Looking at the black crowd in front of us and the aggressive suicide squad, the soldiers all calmed down their breath and gritted their teeth to shoot a slalom bullet at the enemy, and used rows of grenades to blow out barrage at the front of the position.

Gunshots, explosions, screams, and roars soon filled the entire battlefield.
