War Military: From 1978

Chapter 157 Positional battle, fierce confrontation!
"Boom~"

The mortars roared!

The sound of machine guns, rifles and submachine guns continued to ring out in the jungle.

"dudu~"

The charge sounded, and in the jungle, two troops of dozens of people, which seemed scattered but actually looked very regular, simultaneously charged towards two small earthen slopes in the mountains.

The fog in the jungle no longer obscured the view. Tong Lianzhong and the deputy company commander led their men forward on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

Soon, as the mortar bombardment from the rear stopped, they rushed up the slope.

Not difficult at all.

Because the Vietnamese devils have already run away.

When they rushed up, the Vietnamese devils were retreating.

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is tired, I attack.

The Vietnamese devils were not defeated, but were making full use of the tactics they learned from our army.

The Second Battalion began its march from Squad Z, with the Fourth Company acting as the vanguard, following the scouts' route.

However, Chu An's scouts were few in number and when they came, it was either night or foggy, so no fighting took place along the way.

But now they are a reinforced company with more than a hundred people acting together, so they can't hide their whereabouts as completely as Chu An and his team.

The main reason was that they were targeted by the Vietnamese devils when they were in Class Z.

Therefore, along the way, there were guerrillas who constantly crossed the Japanese and relied on the terrain to block the enemy's advance.

The damage is not great, but the level of disgust is extremely high.

Even because of this, their marching speed was greatly slowed down.

"No, if we keep going like this, we won't be able to reach Hill 312 by noon, let alone before dark. We have to change our tactics. We can't go through the mountains anymore, we should go to the highway!"

After building these two earthen slopes, the acting deputy company commander of the fourth company walked up to Tong Lianzhong and complained.

Tong Lianzhong also frowned.

He also felt powerless.

The battle plan called for reaching Hill 312 by 3:00 PM at the latest, but now...
"I'll go discuss it with the deputy commander!" Tong Lianzhong frowned and turned around.

The fourth company led the way, accompanied by a deputy regiment commander.

"Papa~"

At the same time, on the 312 high ground, Chu An and others were hoping that the main force would arrive sooner, but they also knew that the main force could not arrive so quickly, so now they could only rely on themselves.

The AK in his hand kept firing.

boom!
A 60mm mortar shell hit overhead.

But Chu An only slightly avoided the falling gravel and dust.

Then he changed his position, Chu An moved the AK behind him, and directly changed a gun in his hand.

SVD, Chu An has always carried this gun, but he has never used it before.

But it works now.

The enemy is at the foot of the mountain, and the troops behind the enemy are now three or four hundred meters away from them in a straight line.

At this distance, an AK or a five-six rifle can only sweep past, and whether you can hit the target depends largely on luck.

After all, it's hard to see clearly.

But it’s different if you replace it with an SVD with a scope.

Chu Anren hid behind a rock, aiming the SVD rifle in his hand at the slope more than 300 meters away.

You can see that there is a Vietnamese devil holding a telescope and looking up the mountain.

This guy, Chu An noticed him just now.

Now he shows up again with a sneaky look on his face.

"Snapped!"

There was no hesitation. The straight-line distance was over 300 meters, and the SVD's bullet firing rate was less than one second.

Under Chu An's sight, he could clearly see the Vietnamese devil's head tilted back and his body falling backwards.

"Crack! Crack!"

Chu An didn't stop at this moment.

The hand kept pulling the trigger.

There, it was obvious that as this Vietnamese devil fell, the other Vietnamese devils were a little confused.

He didn't aim accurately and fired several shots at the moving figure in that position.

After firing ten bullets, Chu An shrank back, took out the magazine and put it directly into his bag, then took out another magazine full of bullets from the bag and put it in.

But this time Chu An did not continue to stick his head out with the gun.

Still carrying the SVD on his back, Chu An began to retreat towards the mountain behind.

Along the way, whenever he had the chance, Chu An would take out his AK and fire a burst of bullets towards the place where he could see the Vietnamese devils at the foot of the mountain.

He didn't even raise his head. He was behind the cover and just raised his gun and fired in the direction he remembered.

The other scouts were similar.

This is what Chu An taught everyone during training. On the battlefield, you are not allowed to aim the gun in front of your eyes!
What the hell are you aiming for? It's not like you're sniping. Just aim with your head tilted. You can hit the enemy, but the enemy can also hit you.

At most, you can dodge or take a look at the enemy while moving.

Then after hiding, he only showed his gun without revealing himself.

Just shoot the bullets past.

Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, and our bullets only hit those who are destined to be saved.

Save your own life first and then kill the enemy.

Especially for scouts like them, they often encounter situations where the enemy outnumbers them in combat.

Sacrificing any one person will seriously weaken the overall strength, so sacrifice should be avoided if possible.

What's more, everyone has plenty of bullets now.

We just moved a few boxes and seized some magazines from the Vietnamese devils.

Now I can make it with all my strength.

"Pah, bang!"

A few hundred meters down the mountain, another small cannon of the Vietnamese devils, hiding behind an invisible slope, fired.

Chu An took a look and then quickly reached out his hand.

In just a second, Chu An turned around and shouted to a soldier with a walkie-talkie not far away: "Number 1 high-altitude machine gun, position and location"

The top of the mountain was still shrouded in thick fog, but as an artillery scout, Chu An didn't have any artillery now, but it didn't mean he couldn't use what he had learned.

For example, now you can directly serve as the eyes of a high-altitude aircraft.

The mi position represents the height of the machine gun's muzzle, while the azimuth represents the shooting position.

Sure enough, as the scout reported using the walkie-talkie.

The heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain opened fire.

Suddenly, Chu An saw dirt flying everywhere where the mortar was firing.

It is not clear whether Chu An was hit or not.

Because after the Vietnamese devils suffered losses, their small cannons have now become guerrilla guns.

Change position with a bang.

But no matter what, their small cannons posed little threat to Chu An and the others.

"Clap clap~"

The gunfire continued, and the reconnaissance platoon on the high ground gradually suffered casualties.

Bullets have no eyes. The more Japanese there are, the denser the bullets will be. Even if the scouts are extremely careful, casualties are still inevitable.

A soldier from the second squad was grazed by a bullet, but the injury was not serious. However, another soldier from the fourth squad was extremely unlucky and was hit directly in the neck by a bullet.

Chu An already knew about this situation, but it was too late for him to be sad.

Now they have no way to take the bodies of their fallen comrades with them, so they can only cruelly ignore them and continue fighting.

Time passes slowly.

The sound of gunfire on Hill 312 never stopped.

Moreover, because the Vietnamese devils attacked from all sides, Chu An and his men were limited in manpower and could only retreat to the top of the mountain. This situation seemed to have made the situation significantly worse.

Because the high machine guns and even the heavy machine guns lost their attack angles because the enemy went up the mountain.

But there are gains as well as losses.

The mines buried by the Vietnamese devils on the battlefield and the mine traps added by Chu An and his men now caused these Vietnamese devils to suffer heavy losses.

They were the defenders of Class J and knew the safe route up the mountain. However, the safe route had been blocked by Chu An and his men with mines and booby traps. In addition, Chu An and his men were commanding from a high position and had also added grenades that could be easily thrown down from above.

So for a while, the situation did not deteriorate much.

But this is the overall situation, but in reality, the situation of Chu An and others is still not optimistic.

The reason is that there are too many people.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, two people including Chu An were injured, and one of them was seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness.

However, at this time, there was finally some good news.

It wasn't that a large army was coming, but that the thick fog on the top of the mountain had finally dissipated, and the situation below the mountain could be seen from the top.

"Da da da~"

High machine guns and heavy machine guns no longer require guidance and can attack targets on their own without any delay.

In an instant, the gunfire that was originally heard everywhere on the hillside stopped a lot, and the muzzles of the high machine guns could not be lowered too low.

But the high-tech machine guns can hit the small steel cannons that have been conducting guerrilla warfare at the foot of the surrounding mountains.

With just one shot, most of these small cannons were silenced.

They lacked the courage to fire under the fire of heavy machine guns.

As for the heavy machine gun, by adjusting its position and lowering the muzzle further, it can also fire directly at areas with gentler slopes on the east and west sides.

In an instant, the pressure on Chu An and others was greatly reduced.
