The battle lasted for a day and a night. After a day and a night, the sounds of the cannons gradually died down.
After a day of battle, more than half of the 20,000 cannons of the Vietnamese artillery were destroyed, and the same was true for China. Although the combat strength of the two armies was different, the artillery of both sides was similar.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Both sides had gone through decades of peaceful development. Everyone was the same.
Jiang Cheng waited until the artillery stopped moving before coming out of a small temporary command post.
He had been very free for the entire day and night, sleeping soundly in the command post. Why didn't he command the army?
One had to know that this was a decisive battle of a million people. A Lieutenant Colonel like Jiang Cheng had no right to command. He directly led three battalions of soldiers to charge after receiving the order.
Not bad, it was that simple and crude. In fact, the higher-ups had no way. The Vietnamese soldiers were clearly defending, and neither side would retreat.
If hundreds of thousands of people retreated, they would be defeated. Leading troops to fight was not considered ability, but being able to lead soldiers to retreat was ability.
"Battalion Commander, orders from above." Just as Jiang Cheng was admiring the battlefield that was filled with smoke, his adjutant, Chen Hua, came over with an order.
"Jiang Cheng's troops are to attack immediately. This time, the three divisions will attack together without delay.”Looking at the order in his hand, Jiang Cheng did not waste any time and directly called out to all the soldiers to prepare for action.
"Brothers, the orders from above have come down. Attack, attack, attack! Three divisions of troops will attack together with us. The brothers are watching us, the people are watching us, charge!”
As usual, they mobilized before the battle. Then, they pulled out the commander's sword from their waist and waved it. After giving the order, a rumbling sound rang out, and all the armored vehicles and tanks on the entire front line began to move.
The three armored divisions 'armored vehicles, tanks, and personnel carriers added up to a total of 1,500 armored units began to advance.
Jiang Cheng led a group of soldiers and followed closely behind the armored vehicle. On the other side, the Vietnamese soldiers were not to be outdone, and gathered 3,000 armored vehicles to charge forward.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang! As the two sides got closer, they fired at each other. Unfortunately, the three armored divisions on Jiang Cheng's side were the only fully armed armored divisions left in the country.
Every division was equipped with the latest tanks or armored vehicles, which were definitely not something that the enemy could compare to. Therefore, even if the Vietnamese army had 3,000 tanks, it would be useless.
The Vietnamese tanks could not even break the armor of the Xia tanks. The shells would only leave a white mark on the armor. However, the Xia tanks were different. If they were hit by a single shot, the enemy would be destroyed.
It didn't matter if it hit the front armor or the side armor.
"Kill them!" With a loud roar, the soldiers from both sides began to come into contact.
"Pa pa pa pa pa!" "Bang bang!"
"Clang!" "Puff!"
As the two sides came into contact, life and death were decided in this instant. Light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and vehicle mounted machine guns fired continuously.
Especially the machine guns on the vehicles. They all used 12.7mm caliber guns. With one shot, the human body would be torn apart.
These mounted machine guns were not specifically used to kill people, but to kill enemy tanks or armored vehicles. However, they were no less effective on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was personally controlling a truck mounted machine gun to fire at the Vietnamese soldiers in front of him.
"Da da!" "Puff!" The soldiers at the front were like wheat being harvested by Jiang Cheng.
"Mortars, destroy the enemy's firing point.”The machine gun was too hateful. In just a few minutes, Jiang Cheng had narrowly avoided several fatal bullets.
Then, he decisively got out of the car and commanded the army. In fact, he no longer needed to command the army. In any case, it was a head-on attack, so there was no need for him to command.
Moreover, even if he wanted to command, he had no choice. How could he command three divisions of 50,000 men? Moreover, it was so chaotic now. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng directly set up a heavy machine gun position behind his three battalions, as well as a mortar position. The mortars were intended to take out the enemy's heavy machine guns.
There were many reasons for building heavy machine guns in the rear. One was to support the firepower of the soldiers, and the other was something that everyone knew, even though the Chinese soldiers were very brave under the command of the party.
But humans? They all wanted to survive. During the attack, there were still many soldiers with impure thoughts. At this time, Jiang Cheng was needed.
Jiang Cheng would purify their thoughts. As long as they took a step back, Jiang Cheng would let them know that the heavy machine gun not only killed the enemy, but he would also kill his own people without mercy.
Jiang Cheng had killed quite a number of people over the years, especially at the start of the war. That time, he had set up a supervision team at the rear, and that time, he had killed more than a hundred people.
Especially in a battlefield like this, there were too many deserters.
"Fire, don't stop. Four o'clock, fire.”For a time, Jiang Cheng was commanding the heavy machine guns and mortars to fire in the rear.
"Don't stop, charge forward. Who told you to retreat? Go up, or I'll kill you.”At this moment, a company commander with the rank of captain stepped back and came in front of Jiang Cheng.
The company commander was covered in dirt, and he had a look of fear on his face.
However, this was not a reason. Therefore, when Jiang Cheng saw it, he immediately berated him to return to his combat position or he would kill him.
"Battalion Commander, the front line is too tragic.”Although the company commander was afraid, he really did not want to move forward.
"Kacha, what did you say?”At this moment, Jiang Cheng did not show any mercy. He pulled out the officer's gun issued when he graduated and pointed it at the company commander.
When the company commander saw the pistol in Jiang Cheng's hand, he was also covered in cold sweat. "Battalion Commander, I'll go forward now."
The company commander had no choice but to brace himself and lead the army again.
"Remember, if there's a next time, you won't be so lucky. Don't forget your political commissioner.”
After hearing this, the company commander's face turned pale. Because China was a one-party country, all the officers in the army were party members.
Starting from the combat units, each combat unit had a political commissioner. They usually did not have much power and were in charge of some matters such as life.
