Chapter 935 Infantry-Tank Coordination

The entire Xiaocao battlefield was originally fought for a day and a night but was not completed. Of course, it is not completed now, but the actual battle process is relatively much faster.

Although Wang Yan was only the company commander and did not make decisions for the entire battle, he was just an executor. But he executed quickly, was able to attack, attack fiercely, and penetrate deeply. He pulled out dozens of bunkers, captured five hills, and repelled the enemy reinforcements, all in attacking battles. For the promotion of the entire battlefield process, it is still relatively strong.

After all, one step faster, every step faster, this is not an ordinary 1+1, but an exponential difference to a certain extent.

The main force of the 40th Division, except for the artillery firing at the back, has all crossed the river. Tanks, trucks, etc., have come over through the pontoon bridges, and there are only sporadic battles around.

The soldiers were scattered and were already transporting the wounded, cleaning the battlefield, and starting to eat.

The 118th Regiment, which participated in the main force of the Xiaocao battle, has rested as a whole regiment, but it is still scattered to prevent artillery fire.

At this time, the soldiers were exhausted, and the adrenaline faded. They knew that there would be no fighting for a short time, and the fatigue of the hard fighting day and night took over. Every time they ran, they used all their strength, and every bullet they fired was concentrated. The feeling of hovering on the line of death, it felt exciting when it was high, and they felt lucky after sobering up.

But they didn't regret it. Soldiers have to fight, soldiers should go to the battlefield, they should defend their country, they are the people's soldiers. This idea has become the purpose of the army for the first time in 5,000 years, and it can never be removed.

To say the most comfortable, of course, it is still the soldiers under Wang Yan, they are more exciting. There is no way, it is really that the company commander is too fierce, just rushing hard. In the words of the company commander, they can brag about this for a lifetime.

They looked at the spirited company commander Wang, snapping photos there.

"The company commander is really fierce." A soldier sighed.

"Look at the bullshit you said. If he's not fierce, how can he be a company commander? He's a literary soldier."

A group of people had already eaten and were lying lazily on the hillside in the sun, chatting and resting. Gradually, they began to snore. They were really exhausted.

"Kacha..."

Wang Yan took a photo of the sleeping soldiers and found a place to hug his shoulders and squint...

In the blink of an eye, only the setting sun was left in the sky. The sound of gunfire had not stopped, but the distance was getting farther and farther, and the sound was empty. The soldiers lit a bonfire and sat around to eat hot rice. They cooked hot rice porridge and ate it with heated canned food. The soldiers laughed sweetly.

The content of their chat was of course simple, all about how brave the previous battles were, and how unlucky the brothers who were injured or killed in battle were. Sadness was all in jokes.

"Wang Yan..."

"Captain Liu, you are a battalion commander after all. I am the company commander under you. Don't be so flattering. It's so embarrassing. Fighting means risking your life. I'm here now, so how can I be afraid of death? The soldiers of our third company didn't back down. There was no coward. They all cried when they fought. Just tell me what the mission is. Don't be so fussy."

Wang Yan protected Captain Liu's fire with both hands, lit a cigarette, patted his hands gently, and said so.

He knew that although he was the company commander under Captain Liu, his relationship and good popularity were there. Not to mention Captain Liu, even if the regiment leaders came, they were not so strong, even if it was wartime.

He was a literary soldier, and it was beyond many people's expectations that he could take the initiative to participate in the war, and his situation was known to everyone, so the leaders respected Wang Yan's personal opinions and took care of him. He knew that Captain Liu was so shy just to let him lead the third company to take the lead.

This can't be blamed on the leaders, it's just that the team he led was too fierce, too powerful, and the results were exaggerated...

Sure enough, Captain Liu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Tonight we will go west to Lao Cai. According to reconnaissance, they have built a lot of fortifications in this mountain. The Vietnamese monkeys are not given for nothing. They are organized in the same way as us, with good firepower and familiar with our fighting methods. You know that Xiao Cao's battle was not easy. If you hadn't fought quickly, the casualties would have been huge.

You can calculate coordinates, shoot accurately, and don't get carried away in battle. The brothers also respect you. Tonight's battle plan is for the tank battalion to open the way and go directly to Lao Cai. Open the old street. But the Vietnamese monkeys must be prepared, and it is not easy to break through. We also need to send more infantry, so our regiment commander means that you lead the team to follow on the side of the mountain, the tank battalion will attract firepower, and you will be the spearhead, remove the firepower points along the line, call for artillery support, etc.

This time we are pressing all along the line, and the 120th regiment has already entered the mountain. You also have reinforcements behind you, and the artillery will follow you, break through Lao Cai as soon as possible. If you can't break through, you must also contain most of the forces. "

"Set out now?"

"Wait until dark."

"Okay."

Wang Yan obeyed orders and listened to the command, and he was done. This was also considered infantry and tank coordination.

This was the original action plan, but he was more powerful now, so he was let go, so that people would see something more powerful...

After explaining the task to his brothers, everyone was laughing and joking, and they were eager to try. They also joked that if their company could fight all the way to Lao Cai, it would be awesome.

Use me in the first battle, and I will win. Wang Yan did not do any ideological work for them. They ate quickly together and then began to check their weapons and replenish their ammunition. In fact, these were already done a long time ago, but they still had to check them again in detail.

Time passed quickly, the setting sun fell, and darkness enveloped the earth. It was already past the 15th, and the moon in the sky was getting smaller day by day. Tonight was not as big as last night. But the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers were the same.

A line of more than ten tanks, arranged in formation, with a large gap, marched on the road. It was called a tank battalion, but only one tank company was dispatched.

Wang Yan and others were farther away, trotting and marching, instead of sitting on the tanks. Captain Liu made it very clear that they followed behind, and whoever attacked the tanks, they would attack, and they pushed all the way to Laojie. Simple and crude, with Wang Yan, it was quite efficient. I have to say that the leaders understood Wang Yan...

The battle came suddenly, and when they walked more than a kilometer, they were ambushed. For a time, there were countless shells and bullets, rumbling endlessly. Of course, it was just looking powerful, and the actual casualties were not great, and most of them were not hit.

The infantry soldiers of the tank battalion organized a counterattack as soon as possible. The tank driver also operated the tank, firing at the roadside.

Without saying a word, Wang Yan asked the communicator to report the coordinates to the rear, which was the artillery position of the Vietnamese army. The range of artillery nowadays is roughly the same. Whoever fires first will die first. Even decades later, the mobility of artillery is very important. After firing a round, the position must be moved. Otherwise, the enemy can calculate the position through the trajectory and counterattack. Precision-guided weapons decades later are even more powerful.

Then he reported the coordinates of several enemy firepower points, bombarded the Vietnamese artillery, and bombarded these blocking firepower points. He also contacted the tank troops and asked them to leave quickly, so as not to collapse them together when they fought back.

Then he told his men to be careful, and he led the team out. They were in the dark, and the enemy didn't know their whereabouts. As long as they were careful of pits and mines, they could basically solve the battle without injury. But obviously, this was also impossible, and they still had arrangements.

There were still some unfortunate brothers who triggered the mines and exposed their positions. But it didn't matter, because Wang Yan had already rushed to the high ground on the hillside. The soldiers behind him had also begun to launch an offensive against the enemy below. The battle ended quickly.

The Vietnamese army's position was still the same, that is, multiple firepower points were dispersed to form a crossfire network to cover a battlefield. But there were not many people on a position, and it was not difficult to deal with.

The soldiers were not scared by the mines. It was impossible for the whole mountain to be full of mines. There were only a few on the periphery. They took the lead and didn't even need fire suppression. A combat team of three people fired together, which basically solved the battle...

"Don't kill me, I surrender."

On the hillside, the Vietnamese army threw away the gun, raised his hands, trembled all over, and was scared. He spoke Chinese, which was very difficult to pronounce and hard to hear.

Wang Yan smiled at him gently, and in his eyes that saw the dawn of hope, the bayonet pierced his throat...

The last person was solved, ending the anti-encounter battle that lasted less than an hour. Wang Yan called the team to a halt and went back to check on the wounded. Overall, it was pretty good. Two people stepped on landmines, one dead and one injured, and the minor injuries of others were not counted.

He treated their wounds and contacted the rear to follow up the wounded. This was unavoidable, because the Vietnamese positions were not too far from the road, and not all of them were on the mountain, but they were at a relatively high point for shooting and firing.

So they couldn't hide in the mountains, the distance was too far, and they would run to death if they ran back and forth. At present, this is the best way. Most of the soldiers are responsible for the firepower below, and Wang Yan, the company commander, is responsible for the long-range firepower at the high point to ensure that no greater casualties are caused to the soldiers below. If he fights below and the soldiers are above, their speed is still slow and their shooting skills are not accurate enough, then they will be sent to the battlefield.

Relatively speaking, the risk he takes is greater. After all, the soldiers below exchanged fire first, and the Vietnamese soldiers on the higher ground had already reacted. He rushed forward and killed people with bullets...

"How are you?"

The team continued to move forward. Wang Yan came to the side of the tank that was lying on the ground. Eight armored soldiers were studying it.

"It can't move. The track was blown off. It was also hit by a cannon. Several of us almost died."

"If you can't move, retreat. Don't stay here. The Vietnamese monkeys can't drive away. There are wounded people behind. You follow and take care of them." Wang Yan instructed, took a photo of them, and then led the team away.

These soldiers are not in vain. When they were fighting just now, the shells didn't stop. They did their best...

The Vietnamese army had received news of the previous battle. More than ten tanks are undoubtedly the main force. So they sent more people on the basis of sending many people for defense.

After fighting for so long, the Vietnamese army certainly knew our army's intentions. Their rear was actually empty. Even the senior officers in Lao Cai had crossed the Red River and ran to the other side to command.

But the Vietnamese army certainly couldn't let our army advance to Lao Cai so smoothly. They still had to defend desperately, so the tanks that attacked this time encountered stronger resistance in the next step.

The tanks in front were about to pass a bend, which was the most vulnerable place to be ambushed. The soldiers of the tank unit obviously considered it and were very cautious. The gun barrels were all aimed at the mountain, and they also used night vision goggles to detect the situation.

Wang Yan had excellent eyesight and saw a figure on the mountain in the distance from a distance.

"Contact the artillery... fire one round." Wang Yan reported the coordinates as usual, and said, "Contact the brothers in front and tell them that the Vietnamese monkeys have reinforcements. There may be someone blowing up the tanks in front."

After speaking, he led a squad of soldiers to run up the mountain, and the rest of the people also dispersed and went to the ambush point over there. They haven't seen the enemy's firepower point yet, but they will know everything when the shells come over in a while.

The artillery is still so disappointing. In less than a minute, with the familiar sound of breaking through the air, from the top of the mountain to the roadside, basically they were bombarded.

This seemed to blow the horn of attack. In an instant, there were gunshots everywhere on the mountain, and mortar shells fell. On the roadside, there were Vietnamese soldiers who were fearless and rushed over to blow up the tanks with explosive packs.

Our army was naturally more fierce. At the first moment, the tank adjusted its gun barrel and looked for the place where the flames were spitting out. The 100mm rifled gun kept firing, and the 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun spit out flames mercilessly, making the opponent unable to raise his head. At the same time, the infantry soldiers surrounded the tanks and killed the Vietnamese soldiers who were ambushed nearby, and they were also leaving the battlefield quickly.

But the previous battle had left them with two tanks, and this time they were reinforced. How could it be so easy to go? First there were mines, and then pits. The dog-day Vietnamese army dug up the road. The Vietnamese monkeys were also very desperate. They were also determined and came to blast the tanks in a suicidal way.

The firepower from above suppressed fiercely, and our infantry could not raise their heads, but their own people, with guns and cannons killed by their own people, came to blast the tanks, which of course could not be stopped.

All this happened in a short time, and our army was once passive.

But Wang Yan and others were there. After the first wave of intense conflict, Wang Yan and his soldiers had already begun to desperately remove the firepower points. Wang Yan also sniped the Vietnamese monkeys who fired mortars from a long distance. After being passive for the first time, he had already taken the initiative.

At this time, the tanks below had stopped firing and could not fight anymore. If they continued to fight, they would just bomb their own people. The infantry no longer suppressed the firepower above, but instead attacked the Vietnamese monkeys nearby.

This kind of suicide attack is of course worthy of respect. Our army has always had such warriors, but it feels bad when the courage reaches their own head. The soldiers hid behind the tanks and shot at them.

The Vietnamese firepower points occupying advantageous positions were also decreasing little by little, and the sound of gunfire became weaker and weaker...
