War Military: From 1978

Chapter 229: Infantry and artillery combined, range coverage!
"Leave us alone, fire at us! Fire!"

"Yes, use the rocket launcher, again, again!"

At the entrance of No. 1's anti-artillery cave, the deputy commander of the second battalion shouted into the microphone.

His head was covered in blood and his body was covered in wounds.

I felt very regretful. Why didn't I see through the devil's evil plan and lose the position?

But now he didn't think so much at all.

The position has been lost.

There are no living soldiers of our army on the No. 2 position, and there are only a few living soldiers on the No. 1 position.

Now all the members are suppressed, and the Japanese devils have rushed over from above the position.

Their only way to survive was to hide in the anti-artillery cave, use their own artillery fire to bombard the Vietnamese devils, suppress the Vietnamese devils, and then wait for the troops below to attack.

But in fact, he didn't want to live at all.

The position is held while the men are there; if the position is lost, the soldiers under his command will die in battle.

Now he only wanted revenge and wanted to keep all these Vietnamese devils here to be buried with them.

At this moment, Chu An and a group of soldiers all took off their military caps.

"call!"

Taking a deep breath, Chu An suppressed the grief in his heart.

"Let's go find a better observation point!"

Since the rocket launchers have been fired, it means that the position has been lost, but it also means that our army can fight with all its might.

At present, the rocket launchers and mortar bombardments can fully cover the infantry's attack on Hill No. 1, and the mortars can also advance forward.

In this way, Chu An and his men can also command the mortars to directly attack the back slopes of Hill No. 3 and Hill No. 4.

"Papa~"

Suddenly, gunshots were heard from the left!

"Company Commander, Squad 4 is engaging the enemy, and there are Vietnamese devils hiding in the woods!"

"What's the situation? Do you need support?" Chu An asked quickly.

"No need, the fourth squad leader said there were only about ten Vietnamese devils!"

"Okay, let's go around!"

Scouts are not infantry companies. They now have their own mission, and their mission is not to fight the enemy to the death.

Chu An was very clear about it. Since Class 4 had no pressure, he would just ignore it!

Time passed slowly, and the scouts dispersed and moved forward under Chu An's command, and gunshots continued to ring out in the jungle.

The Vietnamese devils also arranged people to guard against our scouts.

Although the scouts under Chuan were not trained by him, they were all retired veterans and their basic military skills were acceptable.

Besides, he had been on the battlefield for more than ten days before, and had also fought in brutal battles like those in the mines.

Now each one of them is very smart.

For a while, although they did not move very fast, there were not many casualties. On the contrary, the Vietnamese devils suffered a lot of bad luck.

Because when scouts discover the enemy, they will report the coordinates and ask the artillery to send one or two mortars to support them.

There were even some places where no one was seen, but as long as they felt that the Japanese were hiding there, they would call for artillery fire.

This is what Chu An emphasized.

Human life is more valuable than artillery shells. Only by keeping your life can you kill more Vietnamese devils.

As for the artillery shells, they were originally used to blow up the Japanese!
For a moment, the reconnaissance platoon, infantry and artillery worked together, and the scouts were completely trained by Chu An to become artillery scouts.

"Kill!"

At the same time, below the No. 1 position, an infantry company of the Second Battalion, with the help of artillery fire, quickly charged towards the mountain.

Pingguan Mountain, Regiment C has already fought once.

We are familiar with the terrain above.

What's more, when Regiment C first attacked this side in February, they suffered a loss.

Therefore, after the battle of Pingguanshan, during the subsequent in-bound operations, the regimental command was constantly reflecting on how to fight this kind of offensive battle, and how to minimize the losses if the battle of Pingguanshan happened again.

This itself is a necessary post-war summary for the command.

And now, this post-war summary has become a reality.

Group C really started fighting for the second time.

And strictly speaking, this time is actually simpler than the first time.

Because at least on the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, there were no Japanese bunkers. The trenches and anti-artillery holes on the north side of the positions were all dug by us!
The Vietnamese had only been on Hills 3 and 4 for two or three days, and their newly rebuilt fortifications were no longer as solid as before. At least they couldn't get enough cement to build strong bunkers capable of withstanding large-caliber mortars and rocket launchers.

"Company Commander! The platoon leader said the Japs are retreating, they're going to run!"

In the jungle, Chu An was observing the landing points of our army's artillery fire on Yueguzi No. 3 and No. 4 heights.

Suddenly, the communicator's urgent voice came from behind.

"Where did you run to?"

Chu An put down the telescope and looked back.

"Point S, one hundred meters south, the Vietnamese are running away, marching at a speed of about six meters per second!"

"it is good!"

Chu An picked up the communicator and started contacting the artillery battalion!
It’s wishful thinking to want to run away when you see the situation is hopeless!
"Cave Monster Cave Monster!"

Chu An directly reported the coordinates.

Point S, marked on the map, is located on the southern slope of Hill No. 4.

One hundred meters, and you're probably about to go down the mountain.

Rocket launchers and heavy artillery cannot reach this position for the time being.

But mortars can!

"Boom! Boom!"

Soon, Chu An heard the sound of artillery fire coming from the foot of the mountain south of Hill No. 4.

"Let's go! Contact the other classes and gather at Class Three's location!"

The artillery will definitely not kill everyone.

The Vietnamese devils are not dead, they will run away if they are bombed.

Chu An is now going to give the fallen dog a beating.

"Captain, let Chu An bring people back!"

The Vietnamese devils began to flee, and for a while, our army seemed to have broken through. When we first attacked Pingguan Mountain, our army had a hard time fighting on Hill No. 3, and one company was directly beaten to a great extent, with almost all its members killed.

But this time, after our army recaptured Hill No. 1 and Hill No. 2, Hill No. 3 was captured with almost no resistance.

The main reason is that the current strength of the Vietnamese devils is completely disproportionate to that of our army.

They had too few guns, and the caliber of their guns was too small. They didn't even have large-caliber mortars. How could their 82mm mortars stop our army?

Without heavy artillery and long-range artillery to engage in an artillery battle with our army, they will just have to allow our artillery to unilaterally bombard them.

Therefore, when our army's rocket artillery indiscriminately covered Pingguan Mountain, they could not hold their positions on the north slope and the top of the mountain at all.

Moreover, because there were no solid defensive fortifications such as bunkers, we could only rely on the trenches dug by our army to resist the large troops rushing up with machine guns. This was no different from standing alone at the gate when the dam was opened.

It collapsed at the first blow.

Up to now, our army has attacked Hill No. 4, or in other words, is running to occupy Hill No. 4.

"Why come back? Let them hold us back for a while, then just wipe them out!" The regiment commander at the front command had a murderous look on his face.

The loss was too great.

The voice of the second battalion's deputy commander before his death is still echoing in his ears, and the regimental commander's eyes are now bloodshot.

This time, we must make sure that not a single one of these Vietnamese devils is left alive.

"Don't be impulsive. You are disobeying military orders by doing this!" Zhengwei's face was also very serious.

Our army has already withdrawn, but the war has resumed today. The superiors have issued an order to launch a limited counterattack and pursue the enemy for a maximum of kilometers into the enemy territory.

The superiors’ thoughts are simple, and they have iron-blooded methods, but they cannot ignore the overall situation and reignite the war.

If we continue to advance into enemy territory this time, it will be a real protracted war, and it is really possible that our northern neighbors will take direct action.

Therefore, limited counterattack is necessary to uphold international justice.

The head of the group stared at Zhengwei with wide eyes, then said unwillingly: "Not even three kilometers!"

After that, he ordered the signalman: "Contact Captain Chu and have them scout the enemy's whereabouts at all costs, but pay attention to the distance, at least 200 meters away!"

After a pause, he looked at another signalman who was in contact with the artillery battalion: "Order the artillery battalion not to save ammunition for me. The coordinates reported by Chu An are to be covered within a range of 100 meters!"

In the end, the regiment commander still didn't dare to disobey military orders.

The main reason is that he is not Li Yunlong. Although he is full of hatred now, he still knows the importance of things.

But he was unwilling to let the enemy escape.

So he prepared to use artillery shells!

Even if it means wasting artillery shells, we must try our best to kill all these damn Vietnamese devils.
