2.. It is true that the Vietnamese charge with AK. The American artillery and air support are very strong, so it is necessary to engage in close combat, and it is normal to occasionally get close to the feet in the jungle, but the whole film is too exaggerated.
3. Regarding the bayonet, the soldiers in the back row cannot shoot casually when charging, it is very easy to kill by mistake, and the soldiers in the front row will also empty their magazines quickly when the charge starts, so there will be those who use the bayonet with empty guns. condition.
4. About victory, many people may not understand this.
First, the Vietnamese established a divisional advance base in the jungle heights near the American military base. There were frequent attacks on American bases and patrols, and the Americans sent a force to drive them away.
In the last battle, the Vietnamese commanders wanted to attack from the valley to surround the Mi army, but the Mi army commander did the opposite, recoiled from the junction in the middle of the two routes, and occupied a hill. The occupation of the mountain was basically completed by helicopter troops, although the infantry had already rushed to the front of the Vietnamese army in the film, this can only be regarded as artistic processing. The film is not completed by infantry, nor can they do it in such a short period of time.
Then, by the end of the film, the Americans just occupied a hill. It did not defeat the Vietnamese troops. The Vietnamese division headquarters was another highland, and there were still a large number of troops operating according to the previous plan. It was just that the Americans occupied a hilltop. With powerful artillery and air support, the Vietnamese wanted to destroy them. It becomes unlikely, and even if it is possible, it will all be consumed.
In the end, the Vietnamese withdrew from the advance base because of this battle. From the military objective of driving out the other side, the Americans were victorious.
For the Vietnamese Colonel, this may or may not have been a command error. Since it was the first time Vietnam fought a large-scale battle with the United States, he did not know enough about the power of the United States' air-ground combination, thinking that a small amount of troops could crucify the mountain.
------------------------------------
A guess: The only tactical highlight in the film is the recoil to take down a hill. I dare say that this plan was not made by the colonel, but should be made by the commander or a staff officer in the rear. When waiting for the attack of the Li Minyue army, the air force will be used first. Sweep the target high ground, and then let the officers lead people to recoil from the enemy's junction to harvest (it is best for the colonel to return to the rear and let his subordinates lead the team), then establish a position, and then wait for rescue or retreat or attack. If it is the Colonel's plan, with the heroic complex of American directors, it will definitely be featured in the film, at least it will be mentioned.
