Chapter 202 A new beginning

"beat!"

Even if the Japanese devils are desperate, their artillery will still stop when they are about to rush to our position, otherwise the consequence will be that the shells will kill their own people and become our joke. I have to admit that the Vietnamese army's infantry and artillery coordination is very in place. When the Vietnamese army's charge infantry and artillery were still more than 200 meters away from us, the artillery fire stopped in time. At the same time, the charging Vietnamese army yelled and accelerated to charge towards our position...

It takes more than 200 meters, and it will take less than half a minute to charge at a speed of 100 meters. So it can be imagined that if we were not prepared, we had just crawled out of the anti-aircraft hole and had not yet rushed to put the gun on the trenches and put the gun on the trenches and would face the oncoming bayonets or bullets from the Vietnamese army.

But unfortunately...we are ready!

Just as the artillery fire stopped, the Vietnamese army charged faster, I issued an order to start the fighter. In an instant, the soldiers pulled the trigger and fired a lot of bullets at the Vietnamese army that rushed up. Although there were not many people in a platoon, the Vietnamese army was eager to rush to our position, and they did not expect that we would be prepared in this situation. So they rushed up with an ak47 with no defense, and they undoubtedly became the best targets for our army's guns. After the gunshots, the Vietnamese army fell to the ground like a piece of wooden stake and rolled to the foot of the mountain...

When the Vietnamese army realized that our army was prepared and looked for cover everywhere to fight our army, the soldiers hiding in the anti-aircraft artillery holes had already emerged in time and set up various weapons on the trenches to fight against the enemy in front of us.

The 142 Highland was originally a highland occupied by the Vietnamese army, but was later recaptured and controlled by our army. Therefore, the fortifications on this highland were first built by the Vietnamese army and then continuously improved and built by the People's Liberation Army and the special reconnaissance brigade under our command. Therefore, although the living conditions are very harsh, various combat fortifications are very complete and reasonable, and even the hidden military caves and tunnels reinforced with logs... These are actually due to the gift of the Vietnamese army, we only need to build the reverse slopes they built.

The fortifications were slightly improved and now it became the complete fortifications that could not only hide behind the back and store ammunition, but also have trenches to resist the enemy. Moreover, these trenches carefully selected various commanding heights and firepower to cooperate with each other. At this time, the soldiers just casually put their guns on the trenches, and the various bullets fired out were poses from the top, middle, and bottom, and then crossed water columns from the left and right sides toward the Vietnamese army... They only made the Vietnamese army cry and howl and scream.

What surprised me was that at this time, the Vietnamese army was not as determined as before when they were suppressed by our artillery fire. The battle lasted for only ten minutes and the Vietnamese army retreated like a tide. The only ones left on the position were hundreds of corpses with different postures, plus the blood all over the ground and organs that were blown into pieces by the artillery fire. This high ground was like a sea of ​​corpses from hell...

I think that the reason why they performed like this may be due to two reasons. One is that they have no way out when they are suppressed by our artillery fire, so they have no choice but to rush towards our position without hesitation. The other is that they know that our artillery shells have been exhausted, so they don’t need to be so anxious to take such a large amount of casualties to seize the position.

But no matter what, victory still belongs to us!

The soldiers of our special brigades have not shown much yet. The People's Liberation Army soldiers from other high grounds have already raised their guns and cheered loudly!

"Battery Commander!" During the break of the battle, Xie Xianjin ran along the trench with a submachine gun to me, and then handed me a cigarette: "I see that the Yue Japanese devils are just these three axes. After using them, there will be nothing left. It shouldn't be a problem for us to stay here until night!"

I put away my gun and leaned against the trench wall, lit the cigarette, took a sniffle, and said, "Who can tell the truth about this battlefield? No one can guarantee whether it is a victory or a loss until the last moment!"

"That's it!" Xie Xianjin also lit a cigarette for himself. After taking a few puffs, hesitated and asked: "Battery Commander, I want to know... these..."

As he said that, he compared the battlefield behind him and continued, "Are these... the plans you have laid out?"

I didn't answer positively, and spat a smoke ring and said, "I said I wouldn't let those comrades die in vain. What? Do you have any objections?"

After a while of silence, Xie Xianjin shook his head and replied: "I have no objection, war should be like this! But... I will never do this!"

I smiled bitterly. I understood what Xie Xianjin meant. He actually thought that I had used his team. But on the other hand, he was actually very clear that it was understandable that I did this on the battlefield. After all, the battlefield is a place that only talks about success or failure but not morality. This is Xie Xianjin's contradiction and helplessness.

But I don't blame him, because the fact is that Xie Xianjin's team was regarded as a pawn by me, and many people have sacrificed for this. Some of the people who sacrificed may also be Xie Xianjin's friends and brothers... If it were me from Xie Xianjin's perspective, I would also feel uncomfortable.

"Get ready!" I patted Xie Xianjin on the shoulder and stood up and said, "The enemy will attack soon. If we can all go back alive, it's not too late to blame me again!"

As he said that, he trotted along the trench for a while and changed to a sniper position.

"Battery Commander!" Just as I was just starting a rifle in the trench, the correspondent followed me and handed me the microphone and said, "It's Company Commander Feng from the 169th Highland..."

"I'm Height 142! What's going on?" I asked after taking the microphone.

"Captain Cui!" Captain Feng on the other end of the phone said hesitantly: "We, just now... two comrades you sent to in that battle just now have sacrificed. Can you..."

Upon hearing this, I quickly understood that Company Commander Feng now knew the power of the members of the shooting team I sent out, so I hope we can replenish their firepower! I remember that it seemed that he was telling me the big truth, saying, "Comrade... let alone the five or six soldiers can play what role they can do, this war also depends on coordination, right?" Now, I took the initiative to ask me for soldiers.

"No problem!" I agreed without thinking too much. After all, other high grounds need more snipers than our 142 high ground. But I sacrificed two of my shooting team members in just one battle. I feel so heartbroken!

"Li Shuibo!" I immediately shouted to the radio: "Report the casualties of the shooting team!"

"Two people were killed in the Highlands of 169 and one person was slightly injured, one person was killed in the Highlands of 150 and one person was slightly injured, and no casualties were found in the Highlands of 142 and no casualties!"

Li Shuibo's answer quickly made me realize that it is actually very dangerous for the members of the shooting team to go to other high grounds to cooperate in combat. The reason is very simple. The quality of the People's Liberation Army soldiers in the friendly high ground is not as high as that of the special reconnaissance brigade, and because there has never been a sniper organization, I don't know how to cooperate with the sniper... So if you want to defend the position, the burden on the shoulders of the sniper will undoubtedly become very heavy.

But what if we know this is the case? We cannot not defend the high ground on both sides, and I cannot protect myself and at the same time, we are very clear about the possibility of not protecting myself on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered to the radio: "Li Shuibo, immediately replenish the friendly forces and replace the injured comrades!"

"Yes!" Li Shuibo responded, paused and continued: "Battery Commander, according to the soldiers' reaction, the 169 high ground is the highest elevation, so it is the focus of the attack on the high ground of the Japanese. The 169th Japanese in that direction is particularly difficult to deal with, and this is also the biggest cause of casualties in that high ground. I think... it's better to let me go!"

I couldn't help but be stunned. I knew that Li Shuibo felt uncomfortable watching the members of his shooting team sacrifice one after another, so he wanted to go up and direct the reduction of casualties in person.

I can understand his mood. The soldiers actually don’t have the great spirit of going wherever there is danger. Their idea is actually very simple, they just can’t stand watching their subordinates and comrades fall down one by one but they are indifferent.

"Yeah!" I nodded and replied, "Take a few more people, be careful! Stay in touch with me at any time!"

"Yes!" Li Shuibo responded and led three members of the shooting team toward the direction of the 169th Highland.

"The Japanese are coming up!" Someone shouted loudly, and then the whistling of shells quickly sounded in the sky.

Just like last time, the Vietnamese army still charged while charging. I think this was also determined by the fact that most of their artillery troops were destroyed by our artillery fire. The Vietnamese army knew that their existing artillery power was not enough to destroy our army's fortifications, so they simply used artillery as a tool to cover their attack.

Unlike last time, there were several tanks that joined the bombing formation this time... Because the smoke on the position was too strong, it was hard to see which model it was, but it was not very important to us. After all, they would not drive to our high ground and just act as a base to cover the infantry's attack.

The attacks of the Vietnamese infantry were also somewhat different. They no longer launched group attacks on our positions as before, but instead took relatively cautious steps to form straits to protect each other and attack our positions.

The number of people they attacked this time was not large, there was only one company, but I knew that such an attack from the Vietnamese army would really pose a threat to us. The Vietnamese Japanese made us frustrated and lost our position. At this time, they were truly calm and competing with us for the high ground with a firm eye.
