Chapter 122 Battle of Faka Mountain (twenty-seven)
The Vietnamese army on the No. 5 position was immediately annihilated by our army.
This annihilation battle started before dawn, and this battle was completed by Commander Liang himself...
If I were to say what I mean... I wouldn't have been so fast and I was in a hurry to annihilate the Vietnamese troops before dawn.
The reason is very simple... The Vietnamese devils were only one platoon and more troops on the No. 5 position (there was originally a company, and more than half of them were killed or injured during the attack on the No. 5 position).
This little force and a tired soldier with such heavy casualties have basically no problem with our army's defense line... At this time, the Vietnamese offensive had been completely suppressed by our army back to the defense line, and even those who advanced me
More than ten T62 tanks in front of the military position were also called back... It would be too late if they didn't leave. The Vietnamese artillery was completely defeated in the artillery battle. Give our artillery some time and have the ability to
Those T62s were blocked near Mount Faka and could not move.
So the Vietnamese army on the No. 5 position is actually a lonely army, an isolated army without reinforcements and ammunition... The Chinese soldiers originally stationed on the No. 5 position have no ammunition, and the Vietnamese Japanese occupied such a position.
, and there is no source of ammunition to supplement, so of course there will be no ammunition... Even if there is ammunition, there is not much left.
We can say that there is nothing to worry about such a lonely army, although they are inserted like a thorn between several positions in Faka Mountain... but it is precisely because it is inserted like a thorn, there is a thorn in the south.
The east and west positions are the Puluode Highland and the No. 4 position, and the north is the depth of our army. In addition, the blockade of our artillery... No matter how they escape, they can't escape from our palms.
.
Moreover, the war is about to be brighter, so wouldn’t it be better to fight again when it’s dawn?
On the one hand, our army had all the advantages over the Vietnamese army in position No. 5. Position No. 3 suppressed position No. 5, and there was accurate bombing of artillery fire in the depths of our army on the back... It can be said that we were at dawn.
You can even eliminate the Vietnamese army on the No. 5 position without even going up the mountain.
More importantly, the Vietnamese army's strengthened platoon's troops are more powerful than more, less than less, forty or fifty people... It's nothing for a battle, but we can use this to make
The commander of the Vietnamese army was in a dilemma and could even play a role in striking the morale of the Vietnamese army.
This is the "around point fight" tactic we often use... We don't fight around these forty or fifty people, or cook them slowly on warm fire like cooking porridge, and then the warm fire will be like burning
It's the same as the Vietnamese commander and even the entire Vietnamese army...
Are they saving or not?
Save it! If there is no artillery advantage and the Chinese army is also prepared, it will almost be a death sentence.
If you don’t save it... the Vietnamese soldiers will be wondering, if they are surrounded by a high ground next time, will they have to wait for death like this?!
So no matter what choice the Vietnamese army made, it only benefits but no disadvantages for our army.
This is also my suggestion to Commander Liang... but this suggestion was quickly rejected by Commander Liang!
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" Commander Liang interrupted me and said, "I know what you said makes sense, but have you ever thought... There may be survivors of our army on the No. 5 position, if you drag it down further
…”
When I heard Teacher Liang say this, I had nothing to say... This is something I didn't consider.
Then I soon realized... all I thought about in my mind seemed to be how to get the greatest benefit on the battlefield... Although there is nothing wrong with this, it should be said that as a commander on the battlefield, I should be like this.
...
But the problem is... it should not be like this for a person, because it represents a strange vision of life and annihilation of human nature.
So the command of the last final battle was handed over to Commander Liang... In fact, it was indeed more appropriate to let him command at this time. Because our Synthetic Battalion was not the protagonist in this battle... In fact, since last night
At the beginning, our synthesis battalion was no longer the protagonist. The platoon stationed in position No. 3 was just to defend against artillery and deal with feint attacks from the Vietnamese Japanese.
This is even more true for annihilation of the remnants of the Vietnamese army on this No. 5 position. Most of the combat units, such as No. 4 position, Pu Liude Highland, and artillery units are all subordinates of Commander Liang... Only No. 3 of them are among them.
The fire cover of the position and the aerial reconnaissance of our helicopters, and the guidance of the synthesis battalion were units, so it was natural that this battle was commanded by Commander Liang.
The main attacking unit is the Eighth Company... This is a decision made by the company commander of the Eighth Company. Originally, Commander Liang planned to change his troops to take on this task. After all, our army has no other things, and no country can do it in the world.
Comparable to ours. In addition, after several hours of fighting last night, these eighth company suffered considerable casualties when forcibly passing through the Vietnamese artillery blockade... So Commander Liang wanted to change to another new force to go up
.
As a result, the eighth company refused to agree... The entire company wrote a blood letter and was taken back to the division headquarters overnight and asked for battle. He said that if he didn't take down the No. 5 position, he would never come back!
In the end, Commander Liang was a little helpless. In addition, considering that the combat mission this time was not heavy... The Japanese devils were surrounded by us and had run out of ammunition and food. So he agreed to the application of the Eighth Company.
From this point of view... Teacher Liang is quite humane, completely opposite to my command style... But I seemed to be similar to Teacher Liang at the beginning, but I didn't know when I was already alive and dead on the battlefield.
Numbness.
This battle can be said to be without any suspense... A few flares hit the No. 5 position and the machine gun from the No. 3 position, the submachine gun was thrown into the No. 5 position and the submachine gun was hit... Pu
Because Liude is far away, he can only provide fire cover with light and heavy machine guns...
Among them, our artillery was useless... The reason was that Commander Liang and others still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that there would be survivors of our army on the No. 5 position, and even if there were no survivors... they also
I don't want to use artillery fire to blow the corpses of those heroes.
But in fact, there is no need to use artillery fire, because the firepower in these directions is enough...especially position No. 3... The straight-line distance from position No. 5 is only a few dozen meters. If the arm strength is stronger, the grenade can be thrown.
... In addition, the soldiers stationed on the No. 3 position were still soldiers of my Agent Company, the accuracy of the AK74 and the sniper's shooting skills... That was, the Japanese who dared not appear at all.
Then the Eighth Company took advantage of this firepower and rushed to the top of the mountain... and successfully recovered the No. 5 position.
At that time, I was watching the battle on a helicopter and commanding the command of Commander Liang. I only saw the soldiers of the Eighth Company killing people on the position like hungry wolf breaking into the flock of sheep, holding a bayonet rifle and killing them... ...I even saw a few Vietnamese Japanese who actually surrendered with guns, but were still dealt with very simply by the soldiers of the Eighth Company.
This is a unit that was red-eyed on the battlefield... At this time, they would not care about any discipline or not.
Later I realized that there was a reason why the soldiers of the Eighth Company fought so fiercely... When they rushed to the position, they found that... In order to organize defense as soon as possible, the Vietnamese Japanese actually used our soldiers who died on the No. 5 position. The corpses were built as bunkers, and some of them were not dead yet.
When cleaning the battlefield, many heroic scenes were discovered: the hillsides in front of the formation were everywhere. The dead on both sides were entangled, and most of them maintained a hand-to-hand combat posture. Some martyrs bit the shoulders of the Vietnamese army with their teeth, while others The martyrs kept crawling forward, some wrestled with the Vietnamese army and refused to let go; some were holding daggers and inserted into each other's chest, and some pulled cluster grenades in the crowd, and the surrounding Vietnamese army were all limbs. Incomplete...
When I heard Zhao Jingping describe these scenes to me, I felt a little ashamed... because before that, I planned to abandon the bodies of these heroes to disregard another blow to the Vietnamese army.
Of course, Commander Liang's hope was shattered... No one survived the No. 5 position, but I thought it was worth it... Although we lost the opportunity to further attack the Vietnamese army, even though the Eighth Company The warriors suffered more than ten casualties due to this battle, but being able to recover the bodies of these heroes was also an explanation for them.
After the battle, the sky slowly brightened up... As the sun poked its head out of the back of the mountain, blood everywhere on the Faka Mountain, corpses and craters appeared in our eyes... Such a scene It's not uncommon for me, and my previous experience on the battlefield almost made me get used to it all.
However, this time it was different. On the one hand, it was because I saw the whole thing condescendingly on the helicopter, and on the other hand, it was because I still had the tragic struggle between the heroes and the Vietnamese army on positions No. 4 and 5 last night. ...So, when I saw the corpses all over the mountain, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride...
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" At this time, Commander Liang called and said, "The casualties data have been counted. Our army has sacrificed a total of 78 people and 106 casualties..."
"Oh!" I simply responded.
This casualty data is indeed within the limit of the superiors, but we are not excited about completing the task as required by our superiors... because these are 184 comrades-in-arms!
"The Vietnamese devils suffered heavy casualties!" Division Commander Liang continued: "There were more than 500 casualties in the Vietnamese infantry alone. The highest rank was a captain. It was initially found that Shang Wei was a battalion of the Vietnamese army. The long name is Ruan Guangshi..."
Chapter completed!
