War Military: From 1978

Chapter 133 Artillery battle!

Chu An actually suspected them from the beginning.

There is nothing wrong with our army having a stretcher team, and the stretcher team is indeed equipped with some 56mm and half rifles and pistols as self-defense weapons.

But if they were really the stretcher team of the 1st Division on the front line, and they were ambushed and wanted to ask for help, they should have run in the direction of Tong L. Why would they run into the deep mountains and forests on their side?
Moreover, they acted too unguarded.

As soon as Chu An and the others opened fire, they immediately joined in.

After retreating, the two of them did not verify the identities of Chu An and others at all.

You know, Chu An still has an AK in his hand.

Look at Luo Qingyun before, he was so wary. Although they are a stretcher team, our army's current stretcher teams are basically recruited from veterans and border militia.

Their military skills are not bad either, and they are also vigilant as needed.

Of course, these words would only make Chu An suspicious, but Chu An was not sure, so he deliberately acted like a straightforward fool.

Anyway, in the eyes of the Vietnamese devils.

The flower-growing countries haven't fought a war for decades, and their troops' combat effectiveness is poor. One of them can beat dozens of us, and they think any performance we have is justified.

But they didn't expect that when everything was agreed and they were about to take action, Chu An suddenly blurted out something in Vietnamese.

"It's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. Don't shoot. We are not the Vietnamese devils. We are border residents who can speak Vietnamese!" At this time, six guns were pointed at their heads, and the two of them were still trying to argue.

"Then why were you ready to raise your guns just now?" Chu An smiled, and pointed the gun at the two people while speaking: "Drop your weapons, stop talking nonsense!"

The two men's faces suddenly turned ugly. They wanted to quibble again, but Chu An's hand was on the trigger: "Three!"

"Okay! Let's throw it!"

The two men were helpless and threw the five or six and a half in their hands to the ground.

Luo Yun immediately stepped forward and kicked away the weapons thrown on the ground by the two men. Then he took off his leg bandages and tied up the two men!

"Let's go to another place and interrogate the two of them separately!"

Chu An didn't expect to be able to capture prisoners.

But now that we have caught them, we have to make use of them, as Group C is still blocked!
If I'm not mistaken, these two people must be spies of the Vietnamese devils. Such people must know a lot of information, such as the location of the artillery group, they must know it!

Of course, it is obviously not an easy task to pry open the mouth of a spy.

Chu An didn't have confidence either, but he definitely had to give it a try.

After taking the two of them and retreating a distance and hiding, Chu An separated them and began to take action.

"You know we treat prisoners well, and as long as you cooperate, we will send you to the rear.

Of course, in order to get you to tell the truth and to save you from suffering later, we will give you something simple first!"

Chu An personally brought two people to interrogate a Vietnamese devil.

At this moment, the Vietnamese devil's mouth was blocked. He was lying on the ground and pressing Chu An and his men up. He was whimpering.

But it's useless.

Soon, his eyeballs bulged and veins popped all over his body.

In fact, the appetizer Chu An served him was very simple.

After holding him down with another scout, he asked Sun Dajiang next to him to serve him some walnuts.

"Woo~"

The Vietnamese spy with his mouth blocked struggled hard, but he was tied up and two people were holding him down tightly, so how could he break free?

After a full minute, when Sun Dajiang finished, the Vietnamese spy collapsed on the ground, no different from a dead pig.

"Alright! Now that the appetizers are finished, I'll ask you questions and you answer them. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll take the walnuts out of you!"

Chu An speaks very softly now, but in the eyes of these Vietnamese spies, Chu An is a devil, a devil even more terrifying than the soldiers of the Eagle Empire back then.

Of course, Chu An didn't care what he thought of him.

Now is a war, and every minute of delay is irresponsible to your own life and the lives of your comrades.

If being a devil can win the war, Chu An is willing to become a devil.

"Tell me, what's your name? Which unit are you from? What's the name of the guy next door?"

Chu An didn't ask any important questions in the first step.

Of course, it is actually very important.

Ask more irrelevant questions and then reconcile them with the confession obtained by Luo Yun opposite.

The cloth covering his mouth was removed. The next second, the Vietnamese devil gasped for breath and then looked at Chu An: "Kill me!"

He is not afraid of death!

In other words, he now hopes to die immediately.

"It seems you didn't hear clearly what I said just now!" Chu An smiled and covered his mouth again.

Then, continue with the measures.

Ten minutes later, Chu An and Luo Yun got together.

The man whose two walnuts were almost cooked said a lot, but after the two men settled the accounts, they stopped torturing them.

After giving them a good beating, Chu An and a few others continued to move forward, avoiding the Vietnamese devils who were looking for people everywhere.

For more than half an hour, Chu An and Luo Yun and others sneaked along the way.

Finally, after Chu An and his men contacted the front command and asked it to launch a charge, they saw the continuous flashes of artillery fire on the hillside ahead.

"I didn't expect that what these two guys said was actually true!" Sun Dajiang sighed in a low voice on the side.

Chu An turned around to look over, but before Chu An could say anything, Luo Yun spoke up: "What's the use? This is obviously a trap. If nothing unexpected happens, these two people will lead us here even if they lead the way!"

What Luo Yun said was true, because the location where they were now was at least seven or eight hundred meters away from the artillery position.

But even so, there are still many Vietnamese devils on the hill where they are now.

They all walked carefully and quietly around the mountainside.

Looking at the map again, there are several high grounds around here within one kilometer to protect the hill in front.

If nothing unexpected happened, there must be Yueji ambushes on these hills. If they dared to attack this artillery position, they would definitely be courting death.

The hail of bullets from all directions could turn them into sieves.

This is also what the two spies did not say.

"What should we do?" Luo Yun approached Chu An and spoke.

Chu An didn't say anything. He took out a compass to look at the direction, then frowned.

"The Vietnamese devils are very cunning. They didn't set up this artillery position on the top of the mountain, but deliberately placed it on the southern slope to guard against the far heavier artillery in our rear.

Besides, I think there must be something fishy going on with this artillery position!"

"What's the trick?" Luo Yun also frowned.

"I don't know! Let's observe the coordinates and give it a try!"

They were about seven or eight hundred meters away, and it was night time. Without firing any artillery at that position, Chu An and his men could only see the vague shadow of the mountain with the help of the moonlight.

So we can find out whether there is any trick or not by letting the group know.

Immediately, Chu An stretched out his right hand.

Without any sighting equipment, Chu An could only use the thumb observation method and the somewhat rough map to roughly determine the target.

Afterwards, Chu An contacted the regiment headquarters directly and asked the regiment to use mortars to start bombarding this place.

Although the artillery battalion suffered heavy losses last night, it still had some artillery fire left, and the 82mm mortars of the machine gun companies of each battalion could now reach this distance.

Soon, the coordinate observation was completed, and Chu An reported the coordinates to the front command after combining them with the map.

"boom!"

It only took twenty seconds for the first shot to come and scare Chu An and the others.

Because this shot hit the foot of the mountain in front of them, less than a hundred meters away from their hiding place.

The error is too big!
But there is no way. The thumb sighting method itself is not very accurate, and then there is this rough map.

"Correct the coordinates!"

Chu An hurriedly used the radio to convey the message to the front command.

It’s easy after the first shot is fired. The coordinates can be corrected based on the landing point of the shell.

However, at this moment, flares were fired directly from the surrounding mountains, and the hill behind them suddenly became lively.

Although this shot was not accurate, it did remind the Vietnamese devils that our army should have scouts running over here.

So they started to move out and prepare to arrest people.

This is also the risk that front-line artillery reconnaissance must bear.

Go deep behind enemy lines and be the eyes of the cannon. Once you fire, the enemy will know you are coming and will look for you everywhere.

In this situation, once we are found, we will be outnumbered and the probability of sacrifice will skyrocket.

This is also the reason why Chu An did not call other people from the reconnaissance platoon over.

"boom!"

Another shell fired.

There is still some distance to the target location.

The key point was that they were also firing at this time, and Chu An immediately heard the voice of the fellow from the front command: "Oh no, they are also counterattacking our artillery positions. The artillery position of the first battalion was bombed just now!"

Chu An clenched his fist, but he didn't say anything: "Correction, left XXX"

He now understood why the Vietnamese knew clearly that our mortars could hit them, but they deliberately exposed their targets and even wanted to lure him and others over.

Ambushing these scouts is one reason, and there is another reason: they are not afraid of our mortars at all.

For example, right now, they must be hiding observers behind us.

Now, as soon as the artillery opened fire, they locked onto our position, and then the mortars here took the initiative to engage in an artillery battle with us.

But Chu An had no choice. He could only correct the coordinates. As for the rest, he would just fight.

Their three battalions plus the artillery battalion were not put together. They could attack him from one point with four points. They didn't believe they couldn't win.

"Boom~"

"boom!"

This time, the three shells accurately hit the artillery positions of the Vietnamese devils.

"it is good!"

Chu An shouted in approval and immediately ordered: "The coordinates are correct, fire with all your strength!"

For a moment, there was a continuous "whoosh" sound of artillery shells overhead, followed by continuous explosions from the enemy artillery positions over there.

But what made Chu An dumbfounded was.

Even under such artillery bombardment, they still had shells fired.

"What the hell is this?" Luo Yun was completely stunned.

Chu An also clenched his fists!

At this moment, he held up a telescope and saw something with the help of the light from our artillery shells.

In other words, he didn't actually see the enemy's cannon.

"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, the enemy's artillery is hidden underground, they have dug bunkers for the artillery!"

Chu An was really gritting his teeth.

Only now did he understand why these Vietnamese devils were so fearless.

After they placed the artillery position on this back slope, they avoided the attack range of our army's heavy artillery. However, the mortars coming from this path had limited power due to caliber restrictions, so they dug a bunker. Unless the shells fell directly into the bunker, they could not blow up these artillery at all.

Of course, providing large quantities of food to feed them will definitely be effective, but the problem is that now that Group C has fought all the way here and their logistics routes have been cut off, how can they get enough food to feed them?

And they were fighting back. There was not only one artillery position on the opposite side, but there seemed to be mortars firing at the surrounding high ground.
