Mountain ridge gun position
Hi NutherA2,
It was interesting to read about the loss of an Indonesian C130 in Borneo and the intention to neutralize a mountain ridge gun position.
I was number 2 on that gun and can remember being attacked by a rather strong force, rumor had it that there was over 300 of the buggers against 28 of us. We repelled them and followed them down the ridge with 105 howitzer gun fire. On another occasion, they opened up on us from the opposite ridge with a 76mm gun, unfortunately for them, the sun was rising behind the mountain they were firing from. We could see their mussel flash and ranged in. They managed to get 7 rounds off at us before I hit them with our 4th. Another 6 HE finished the job, overturning their gun and killing many.
We must have really been a thorn in their side.
Did any of you guys fly us up there from Bario, would like to get in touch.
