The battle to recover Yinshan was fought without any suspense. Just as we had expected, the Vietnamese army was complex in composition and its troops stationed in various positions were basically unable to coordinate defense after the headquarters was controlled by our army. ↑ Top
For example, one such thing happened. When the leading troops of our army reached the high ground, the Anming County Independent Third Battalion stationed on it actually sent a company to try to surround our army...
The soldiers of the 51st Division also felt a little baffled by the Vietnamese army's uncharacteristic behavior. You must know that our army is launching a general attack on the Vietnamese army's highlands. Our army has an absolute advantage in both strength and firepower... We are dealing with one division.
There is only one regiment of the Vietnamese army, and this does not include a large number of artillery units. In this case, the Vietnamese should use their geographical and defensive advantages to defend. How can they send the main force to fight with our army?!
After the war, I learned from the captured Vietnamese prisoners: It turned out that the commander of the Third Independent Battalion of Ningming County of the Vietnamese Army underestimated the enemy. In fact, it cannot be said that he underestimated the enemy, but because the Vietnamese Army Command was already under the control of our army.
, so that the Vietnamese troops in various highlands did not know basic information and were independent
The commander of the third battalion didn't even know that the Chinese *** people were about to launch a general attack. When he saw that there were only two squads of Chinese *** people, he thought they were the reconnaissance force of the Chinese *** team or something, so he thought...
I didn't want to immediately send a company out to prepare for a beautiful battle of annihilation.
Of course, the Vietnamese army soon discovered that this platoon was just the vanguard of our army. Our army had a full battalion in this direction, which was twice the strength of the Vietnamese army in the highlands.
But they discovered it too late. Our army quickly seized the opportunity after understanding the enemy's situation. It decided to use the plan to set up an ambush. That is, it used two squads of troops as bait to pretend to be defeated and retreat. The Vietnamese army had no idea when they were pursuing.
Falling into the encirclement of our army... At that time, it was just dawn and the sky was full of gunpowder smoke and dense fog. The visibility was only a dozen meters. Therefore, even if the Vietnamese army was familiar with the terrain in this area, they did not find the Central Government hiding in the grass and shrubs.
people.
Needless to say what happened next, as soon as the order was given, our army suddenly stood up from the grass and fired in all directions... The situation at that time was really firing in all directions, that is, a company of the Vietnamese army was surrounded from four directions.
It took only a few minutes to defeat a company of the Vietnamese army.
After easily annihilating a company of the Vietnamese army, the only remaining troops on the high ground were a few guards from a reinforced platoon and an independent battalion headquarters. This was of course not a problem for our army. After a heavy artillery fire cover, they charged forward.
Just took it down.
This phenomenon has not yet appeared in other highlands. I think this is also because most of the people stationed in other highlands are militia-like organizations like the Public Security Bureau and Youth Stormtroopers. Although most of them also have combat experience... these militiamen have
A considerable number of people were laid off by Vietnam after its disarmament after the US-Vietnam War.
But after all, there is still a gap between a militia organization and the regular army. This gap is not in terms of equipment or the quality of individual soldiers. Of course, there are gaps in these two aspects, but they are not huge, especially in terms of equipment. The Vietnamese militia
Sometimes the equipment is better than that of the regular army.
This is actually not surprising. The equipment of our militia is sometimes better than that of the regular army. When we were still holding 56 and a half, many of the militiamen took 56. The main reason is that the number of regular troops is too large, and they have to
Equip weapons according to unified standards. For example, in a squad, the squad leader will use 56, and the others will use 56 and a half. Since the number of former militiamen is much smaller than that of the regular army, it does not count to equip them with better equipment if there is surplus equipment.
What a strange thing.
The same is true for the Vietnamese militia. In addition, they are also veterans, so they look no worse than the regular army in every aspect.
But the problem is that every army has a "military soul". According to my understanding, this "military soul" is the sweat, tears, blood and lives shed by all the officers and soldiers during the establishment, growth and maturity of this army.
What is condensed is simply the military history of the army.
Because of this military history, we only think about it when we fight...our army used to be in our army. What heroes have appeared in the past and what heroic deeds have been performed. Although it is difficult for us to be like them, at least we cannot give
They are embarrassed.
This is the soul of an army.
It is precisely for this reason that when our army is carrying out a massive disarmament of millions, it is difficult for laymen to understand... For some troops or some soldiers, isn't disarmament just a matter of changing the designation?
It's the People's Liberation Army, and it's the same as being a soldier. Which army and which number you use is still the same?
But this is really different. The difference is that after the number is gone, the "military soul" is no longer there. It is what the soldiers defend with their blood and lives on the battlefield. Therefore, many commanders and soldiers know that the troops are about to withdraw.
When we met, everyone was sighing: "The temple is gone, where will we burn incense?".
For them, it is not just a number or a number, but a home, the root of the army, and their wall of honor.
Of course, the Vietnamese army is no exception. This is the biggest difference between the regular army and the militia.
The militia army has a military history like this, and the cultivation of the concept of military spirit is much weaker. On the one hand, the militia is highly mobile. Many times, a few come here and there, and they join together to form an army. There is nothing at all.
Military history and military soul can be said. On the other hand, the tasks they performed during wartime were relatively few or relatively minor, so even if they wanted to make a military history, there would be no heroic deeds.
This determines that militia organizations are less motivated to fight and will passively follow orders during battles.
Now that the headquarters has put us under control, these guys from the Public Security Bureau or the Youth Stormtroopers don't know where to go, so they fight for their own strength, sitting in a large number of fortifications and caves, but they don't know how to cover each other and reinforce each other.
...In fact, we can’t blame them for this. They are militiamen. It’s good to be able to hold on to their position even if they lose their command. It’s a bit harsh to ask them to coordinate as effectively as the regular army.
Of course, this is exactly what we want, so we can easily divide and surround it, and then slowly eat it piece by piece.
As for the caves scattered in Zheyin Mountain, if these things can be coordinated with the main force, they will be a very good weapon. For example, the Vietnamese troops hiding in them can act as mortar observers, and for example, they can be used as counterattack weapons.
Firepower or flanking firepower should be coordinated with the defense of the main position.
The problem is that the Vietnamese army at this time is no longer able to conduct unified command, and they cannot coordinate even if they want to. For example, when the Vietnamese army in the cave discovered that a large number of squadrons were sneaking into his line of sight, they asked for mortar coverage but were told that they were forced to do so.
The artillery has been transferred to other directions for defense. Another example is that when he wanted to cooperate with the defense of the main position, he found that his comrades in the main position had already withdrawn to the second line of defense without knowing when.
Therefore, the fate of these caves is not difficult to imagine. They will only end up being discovered by our army one by one, and then blown up with explosives or burned violently with flamethrowers.
These are not things I need to worry about. I received an order from Commander Xu, so that we only need to continue to guard this headquarters and the bunker group... This is quite easy for us, because the Vietnamese army has given up at this time.
Attack on the bunker group, and I don’t intend to let the soldiers take advantage of the victory to pursue it
Scar and other soldiers asked for help one after another, hoping to lead their troops to expand the victory, but I rejected it without hesitation.
The reason is very simple. We are an agent company, and we perform special missions with more strategic value. If we rush out without any target to fight with ordinary Vietnamese troops, it will undoubtedly be a waste of resources.
In fact, the soldiers knew this very well, but they heard the gunshots and cannon fire outside, while we stayed in the bunker in a daze, feeling itchy hands.
Finally, two hours later, we saw several figures approaching us with guns out of sight.
"Password!" Scar yelled at them in a hoarse voice.
"Changhe!" The other person answered and asked at the same time: "Password!"
"Huangjiang!" After Scar answered, he turned back to me and said, "He is one of our own!"
This is the secret code we made just in case we meet each other. To make it less easy to guess, we also separated "Yangtze River" and "Yellow River" and mixed them up.
"Is this Battalion Commander Yang?" the other party shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Jiali, deputy commander of the second company of the 1st Battalion of the 153rd Regiment. We have captured Highland 1142. The division commander asked us to take over from you!"
"Okay!" The soldiers couldn't help but cheered when they heard this.
I soon saw the deputy company commander named Zhao Jiali. When he led a group of soldiers towards us, everyone was so surprised that they opened their mouths wide in surprise when they saw the corpses passing by.
Didn't come back to consciousness.
At the reminder of the soldiers beside him, Zhao Jiali hurriedly stood up to me and said: "Report to the battalion commander, Zhao Jiali, deputy commander of the second company, reports for duty and asks for instructions from the battalion commander!"
"Well!" I returned the salute and asked casually: "How did the battle go?"
"Battal Commander!" Zhao Jiali replied with some dissatisfaction: "Do you still need to ask? Look at the Yue Jap in front of the bunker. There are hundreds of corpses at least. You have beaten all the Yue Jap. You
Look at us..."
As he spoke, he spread his hands and shook his spotless military uniform.
I couldn't help but feel funny when I heard this, knowing that he meant that they hadn't encountered any decent resistance from the Japanese yet.
Then Zhao Jiali said: "Batalion Commander, at least leave some for us next time!"
Hearing these words, the soldiers couldn't help but laugh out loud. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
