However, I soon learned that the attitudes of Commander Xu and others did not seem to indicate that the troops had no problem with morale.
You should know that since the Vietnam War has been in its current position, it is basically no problem to regain a highland on the border. The problem is just the length of time or the size of casualties. <><> Novel
The reason for saying this is, on the one hand, the Soviet Union's support to Vietnam has been reduced in a series of ways.
This is mainly because the Soviet Union has been exhausted in the Afghan battlefield in recent years. The Soviet Union has been unable to make ends meet and can't take care of Vietnam, a country that only knows how to "get clothes and eat and open its mouth".
Secondly, it is because Vietnam has gradually lost its value at this time.
This is a bit like the truth that China will be pushed to the forefront due to the Soviet Union's sudden fall. Vietnam was originally able to get along with both sides between China and the Soviet Union, but of course there will not be many small countries like Vietnam.
Political wisdom, he just wanted to completely turn to the Soviet Union... This is actually the most taboo thing about international relations. The result of its complete reversal to the Soviet Union was that it angered China and even had to launch a self-defense counterattack.
For the Soviet Union, since Vietnam has completely turned to him, Vietnam will have no bargaining chips for negotiations, so the Soviet Union can completely treat Vietnam as a pawn.
This is the current situation. The Soviet Union has realized that Vietnam is the impossible to win in the Sino-Vietnam War. At this time, the Soviet Union even intends to ease relations with China, so Vietnam's pawn naturally fell into an embarrassing situation of being marginalized.
On the other hand, it is the problem of the Vietnamese army itself.
Since the war has been fought, Vietnam's domestic economy, politics, population ratio, etc. have deteriorated seriously, which will naturally affect the military, making its military worse than in 1979.
However, with the help of Western countries such as the United States and Britain, our country is actively promoting the modernization of the military. In terms of equipment and military theory, we must not be the same as before.
So after all this, the Vietnamese army is almost incapable of competing with our army.
Of course, this is just from the general perspective. In some cases, some war cases will still cause unreasonable casualties such as command errors caused by underestimating the enemy or lack of practical experience. However, in general, the Vietnamese army and our army have already
There is a considerable gap, and this gap will be further widened.
Therefore, under such an advantage, Commander Xu and other commanders were still so nervous, which just shows that they did not have enough confidence in the army.
"This is the situation!" Commander Xu gave us a while and spread a map on the table and said, "Battleman Yang participated in the Laoshan Recovery Battle, and I think I have a little understanding of the terrain of Laoshan.
The terrain of Yinshan Mountain is similar to Laoshan Mountain, and it is also gentle in the south and steep in the north. When facing us, the slope is between 30 degrees and 60 degrees. However, compared to Laoshan Mountain, it also has its own characteristics.
There are many natural limestone caves, hundreds of large and small, and their vegetation is basically 1.5 meters and 5 meters, which causes the Vietnamese army to store a large amount of combat supplies on the Zheyin Mountain."
"Um." I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
We have not never fought such a high ground. We encountered this situation when we were conducting a self-defense counterattack.
"Then..." I said: "The distribution of the troops of the Vietnamese army on Zheyin Mountain is based on these caves!"
"Yes!" Commander Xu nodded.
This is actually easy to understand. This terrain is suitable for guerrilla warfare, and the troops are scattered into the caves that we cannot find their main force. Once our army goes deep into Zheyin Mountain to fight, the Vietnamese army will be divided and merged.
It will cause great trouble to our offensive forces.
There are no ways to deal with this tactic, just like in self-defense counterattack war, we use the method to pull the net to clear it out... First, burn the entire mountain, and then use our troops to open a net here,
It will be clean after combing it back and forth a few times like a comb.
But the problem is... We are trying to fight a beautiful battle to boost morale and shock the Vietnamese army. If this is the case, it will take a long time, not to mention that the troops will be invested, which means that the number of troops will be invested is also very strong.
Even if you win in the end, you may not be able to achieve your strategic goals well.
Commander Xu may have seen my thoughts, so he continued: "And this limestone cave is only one of them. The Vietnamese army has also laid a large number of landmines on the mountain and various tunnel fortifications combined with these caves, so
Zheyin Mountain looks nothing on the surface, with shrubs and weeds everywhere, but in fact it is full of murderous intent everywhere. In this case, if our army attacks rashly, there will be a considerable number of casualties."
This is the key point. If you take down this Yinshan Mountain with considerable casualties, it will not only not achieve the goal of boosting morale and shocking the Vietnamese army, but may also have a counter-effect.
"The teacher must have a plan already." I said.
I believe that as the frontline commander, Commander Xu, had a plan.
"How many plans are there?" Commander Xu nodded: "One of the ideas is like this..."
After a pause, Commander Xu said, "Because the Vietnamese army is preparing to fight a guerrilla war on Zheyin Mountain, and its troops are seriously insufficient, and they have to deploy their main force in Laoshan area, so the troops in Zheyin Mountain are very diverse.
According to the information we have obtained, the troops of the Vietnamese army on Zheyin Mountain include the Third Independent Battalion of Anming County, the Sixth Company of the County Team, the 105th Public Security Bureau, the Fifth Battalion of the 8874th Regiment, the 21st Battalion of the Agents, and the Anming County.
Military refers to the reconnaissance team and the youth stormtrooper.”
"So many?" I was surprised to hear this.
"Yes!" Commander Xu nodded: "The Vietnamese are out of soldiers, and all kinds of troops are sent to make up for the numbers. However, we cannot underestimate these troops. Most of them are militias in Anming County.
The terrain of Yinshan is very familiar, and judging from our previous combat experience, the military quality of its militia is not low."
Of course I know this. During the self-defense counterattack, there were also cases of several Vietnamese militias causing a heavy casualty in our company.
"That way..." I said: "Their coordinated command is a problem."
"It's right!" Commander Xu laughed and said, "It's really a hero who sees it. Our plan is to hit the snake and hit seven inches. The components of the Vietnamese army on the Yin Mountain are so complex. The coordinated command of its various departments is like breaking the whole into pieces.
Turning zero into whole is a big problem. Once we can destroy their command system, their guerrilla warfare will only be the result of our division and surrounding us."
"It's right!" I nodded in agreement.
"So." Commander Xu nodded at me: "This requires your synthesis battalion and helicopter."
"Oh!" Only then did I realize that the core of Commander Xu's plan was to use our agent company to conduct a special operation on his command system.
"The position of the command system of the Vietnamese army is..." I asked.
"It's on the Zheyin Mountain." Commander Xu replied: "These troops are all commanded by the 5th Battalion of the 8874th Regiment of the Vietnam Army, and their location is here..."
As he said that, Commander Xu pointed out a position on the back slope of Zheyin Mountain.
After thinking for a while, I replied: "Although the plan is feasible, the chance of success is not high."
The reason is very simple. Should we do rope-down or parachute landing in such terrain? You should know that the grass is everywhere on the Yin Mountain, and there is a possibility that there are Vietnamese troops hidden in the grass. Whether we are parachute or rope-down, it is very
There is a possibility of ambushing.
This is not because I retreated in the face of missions or worried about the casualties of the troops. Instead, doing so is likely to fail to achieve the strategic goal after suffering heavy casualties, but the entire plan is based on the foundation for our success
On.
"There are difficulties." Commander Xu also understood this. He nodded with understanding and said, "But other than that..."
Needless to say, I understand the following words, but there seems to be no better way.
This seems to be true. The weakness of the Vietnamese army is that the troops are too complex and they are scattered and difficult to coordinate, so the focus is on attacking its command system, and this is the matter of attacking the command system... Of course, it is not our synthetic battalion.
"I don't know much about the issues in special operations." Commander Xu said: "So I hope Battalion Commander Yang can come up with a suitable and feasible plan. It doesn't matter, we have time, Battalion Commander Yang can think about it slowly, I
Wait for your good news."
As he said that, Commander Xu got up and shook my hand. Before leaving, he patted my shoulder and said, "It depends on you!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Our synthetic battalion is not omnipotent. Even if it is equipped with various advanced equipment, it is not possible to strike the enemy's command system. Otherwise, we will be sent to take the enemy's head first in every battle.
Wouldn't it be fine?!
But the problem was right in front of me and had to be solved. What was even more hateful is that even I agreed with Teacher Xu's plan, so I fell into deep thought as soon as I arrived at the front line.
The difficulty is that we cannot guarantee the safety of leasing or parachutes. It is undoubtedly very dangerous to leasing or parachutes on enemy positions. This is why British special forces must send a pre-stop when leasing the Malay Island.
The reason why the advance team went to open a rope and descend.
Can we also send an advance team to open up a rushing point like the British special forces?
So I quickly thought of the reconnaissance brigade, which could complete such a task. Now some of them may still lurk in the territory of the Vietnamese army.
However, our current situation is somewhat different from the British special operations on the Cavaliers Island... The Cavaliers Island is large in size and has few Argentine troops, so the British advance team can easily get in and open up a rushing point.
But we are facing only one Zhuyin Mountain, which covers a small area but has deployed at least one regiment of troops, and there are weeds, shrubs and caves everywhere. If you want to open a rope in such a place
Just click on the difficulty you can imagine.
When I was conducting adaptive training in the synthetic battalion, I discussed this issue with the General Staff repeatedly, and even contacted Chen Yiyi and asked them to command the reconnaissance brigade to conduct a live-fire drill... To be precise, this is not a live-fire drill...
, but actual combat, because we are actually sending a squad of scouts to infiltrate into the territory of the Vietnamese army, and then disguised as the Vietnamese army and mixed into Yinshan for reconnaissance.
By the way, the battle in Zheyin Mountain had not yet begun. The Vietnamese army focused most of its attention on the Laoshan area. In addition, the components of the Vietnamese army on Zheyin Mountain were also very complicated, so they successfully intervened in Zheyin Mountain's rebellion.
Inclined surface.
But the reconnaissance result disappointed me, that is, it is too difficult to open up a rope-down point. It is too dangerous to force a rope-down. The main reason is that the grass is deep and the forest is dense, and the visibility is only a few meters. It is difficult to find out if there are enemies nearby that can match them.
Our army poses a threat to firepower.
"Damn it!" I couldn't help but curse when I heard this, but I didn't expect that I would be defeated by weeds and shrubs.
It is impossible for us to go up and set a handful of torches to burn these weeds first. Even if the Vietnamese army is willing to let us do this... It is also the rainy season that the fire cannot be burned.
Just when I was at a loss, I suddenly thought of what Commander Xu said before leaving: "We have time!"
We have time? Indeed, we must know that we are prepared to fight a battle, that is, when to start and how to fight is determined by us, so we should say that time is quite abundant.
So I thought of a solution.
"Report to Commander!" I asked after contacting Commander Xu: "I want to know how much time we have."
"This..." Commander Xu may not have considered this issue, and he replied after being stunned: "Try to be within one month!"
"Then there is no problem!" I said.
"Have you thought of a solution?" Commander Xu on the other end of the phone couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was about to ask me what the solution was, but he said, "In this way, you come to my division headquarters tonight, and we will discuss it carefully!"
"Yes!" I replied.
Of course I know this is for the sake of confidentiality.
But I answered easily, but I didn't expect that I could not take a helicopter because of the confidentiality... So I felt so distressed. What could only take a few minutes to solve had to be shaken on the jeep several times
What made me feel even more reluctant is that I had been going back and forth for more than ten hours, so I might just say a few words...
So this person's heart is really a strange thing. You know, I felt very satisfied when I could have a car to ride, but now I am used to using a helicopter and ride a jeep like being tortured.
A few hours later, the jeep was parked in front of the anti-aircraft shelter of the division headquarters.
Only then did I feel the degree to which the troops were affected by morale. If this is the division headquarters, there should be a place where the guards are highly alert, but the guards I saw were unconsciously grouped in groups of three or five.
They gathered together to discuss something, and at the same time, everyone had helplessness on their faces.
Needless to say, they must be talking about disarmament.
This division is like this, so what will happen to the soldiers fighting on the front line? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
