Although the troops' adaptive training has been underway, in fact, the battle has fallen into a desperate situation.
Needless to say, the reason is that the offensive plan in the Sakawang area cannot be formulated.
Training for the last battle... After the troops adapt to the climate, terrain and hydrology of the battlefield, then they should conduct targeted training. For example, if you want to fight a city battle, then you should conduct street fighting on the troops.
If you want to attack the mountain, you naturally have to choose a similar high ground for exercise.
There is no doubt that such targeted exercises will allow the troops to get into the state quickly on the battlefield, and because there have been various possible emergencies before, it is rare to know what to do in battle.
What a confusion.
But... now we can say that we are helpless against Sakayo and don’t know where to start, which means we don’t have an offensive plan... without an offensive plan, so we don’t know whether we will fight in the future or interlude...
...so targeted training is not possible.
During this period, the staff also proposed one plan, but none of them were spared from being rejected in the end.
Concentrating strength and positive breakthroughs are the first to rule out. The reason is very simple... The Vietnamese army has a great geographical advantage, and the firepower, troops and fortifications are also fully deployed. In such a situation, it would be suicide if it is a frontal breakthrough.
, The previous failures of several regiments of our army fully proved this.
The two-wing encirclement can also be ruled out, because the 481 Highland and 544 Highland are the commanding heights of this area... Those who have learned artillery coordinate observation know that as long as one subjective and side view is built on these two highlands, it will be easy.
Calculate the exact coordinates of each position... and in addition, the two wings are full of jungle stones. High-speed maneuverable tanks, cars, etc. cannot pass. They can only be surrounded by infantry... So what the Vietnamese army has to do seems to be just throwing a few
After a secret whistle, it would be almost done when we found out that our army was interspersed with the troops and then cooperated with the artillery observers to launch a round of artillery fire.
Since both wings cannot be encircled, interweaving can basically be ruled out... As Xie Leming said, as long as the two commanding heights of Highland 481 and Highland 544 are occupied, artillery observers can use high-power telescopes to observe and control the circle with long-range artillery.
The range of twenty kilometers is basically included in the entire Banwang area within the precise strike range of Vietnamese artillery...
So this rule is eliminated... Sakawang's battle seems to be a dead end.
There are only a few infantry tactics in total, either interspersing or concentrating forces to break through frontal breakthroughs, or surrounding points to attack aid... This does not mean that our army has few infantry tactics. In fact, our army is the country that is best at using infantry, so infantry tactics are relatively
There are still many things. It’s just that infantry... is completely walking on the ground, that is, moving on a two-dimensional plane, and there are only a few changes coming and going.
Modern warfare... For example, like the Americans, they used a large number of fighter jets, transport aircraft, helicopters and even paratroopers... This turned the war into a three-dimensional battlefield, so there were many changes.
But what is very scammed is that our Air Force did not participate in the war... In addition to the issues of the quality and combat capabilities of our army's fighter jets, there are also some political factors. On the one hand, it is not that we want countries around the world to accuse China of bullying the small, and on the other hand...
...If our army dispatched the air force to seize air supremacy with a great advantage, it would be impossible for the Vietnamese border to be maintained, then the Soviet Air Force might also intervene. (Note: Vietnam was in May 1979, after China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam ended.
The Cam Ran Bay Naval Base was handed over to the Soviet Union for use, and the Soviet Union already owned three Kiev-class aircraft carriers.)
Therefore, the Air Force does not participate in the war, actually has political considerations... In other words, our army will not change its political position because of the battle in Sakawang.
So the Air Force was exempted from the negotiation... The problem still needs to be solved by infantry!
"Have you encountered a problem?" Zhang Fan poured me a cup of hot tea.
"Yeah!" I nodded, took the teacup and blew it beside my mouth.
"I just know..." Zhang Fan said: "You have frowned together these days!"
"Oh!" I couldn't help but sigh, put down the teacup and said, "I was still full of confidence when Commander Zhang handed over the mission to me. Now I'm afraid I'll disappoint Commander Zhang!"
I have to admit that this is the first time I have been thinking about it for a few days and there is still no feasible solution!
"I gave up so soon!" Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry... there will always be solutions, but it's just a matter of time!"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head... In some ways, Zhang Fan is also a very persistent person, just like now... Even I have lost confidence in myself, but she still believes in me.
Yes... a matter of time!
Maybe I was disturbed by time... You know, it has been more than ten days since we arrived in training, and we will almost start the fight in a few days... Although Commander Zhang did not urge him, and he did not set a time to start the war
, but I know that Commander Zhang must have been under the pressure of conservatives. If I am one day late here, it means that Commander Zhang will have more pressure.
But in this situation... I seem to be delaying the start time infinitely.
"Or..." Zhang Fan looked at the no one around him and whispered: "Let's go out for a walk... Maybe you can think of something if you relax!"
I shook my head in distress: "I'd better not..."
"Let's go!" Zhang Fan forced me to pull me up: "My dad always keeps saying something... There is no line of defense that cannot be broken... I think slowly that there will always be a solution!"
I couldn't resist Zhang Fan, so I had to get up helplessly and put on my military uniform... and said, "There is no defense line that cannot be broken? What I am facing now... Huh?"
Then I quickly thought... During World War II, France built a line of defense that seemed unbreakable, right? It is the famous Maginot Line of Defense in history. It took France eleven years to spend 5 billion.
A reinforced concrete defense line built by the Franc is hundreds of kilometers long... This line of defense is called the unbreakable line of defense by the French.
This is very similar to the problem I am facing now... The Banwang area is also called the unbreakable steel defense line by the Vietnamese army, and it also threatened: If the Chinese team wants to pass through, they must use corpses to level it.
The narrow valley between the 481 highlands and the 544 highlands!
How did the Germans break through the Maginot Line of Defense back then? Bypassing the front of Belgium, the Maginot Line of Defense was completely ineffective...
Yes! Thinking of this, my attention quickly returned to the map... Zhang Fan knew at this time that I had some ideas, so he didn't dare to interrupt me, but just pouted and walked away.
My vision seems to be too small. Germany can bypass the front of the Maginot Line from another country, so why don’t I look a little further?
So it is not impossible to intersperse, but because the two highlands of Height 481 and Height 544 were occupied by the Vietnamese army, they were basically under the control of the Vietnamese artillery within a radius of 20 kilometers. But if you look further... and pull it to 20 kilometers.
What about outside?
There are many places where we can intersperse, and it doesn’t even need to be that far. There is a 439 high ground more than ten kilometers away under the control of our army.
But there is another problem here... The Vietnamese army is not a fool. Once the interlude troops open a gap there, the Vietnamese army will soon discover our intentions, and then mobilize the troops to block them layer by layer, and even set up a road.
A good trap is waiting for us ahead.
I think this is also the reason why several regiments knew about using interlacing tactics, but they couldn't... It is definitely not possible to use infantry to interlacing long distances, because the speed is too slow... This is for a interlacing force.
It is absolutely fatal. The slow speed gives the Vietnamese army time to mobilize the army. As long as a Vietnamese army stands in front of the interspersed troops in time, the interspersed troops will be slower and the slower speed will be given.
The Vietnamese army spent more time mobilizing the army... so it soon fell into a vicious cycle and was surrounded by groups of Vietnamese troops.
Therefore... three conditions must be met for long-distance interspersion:
First of all, the speed is fast, and before most of the enemy can react quickly, they have already passed through sections of road that the enemy may block.
So I thought of mechanized infantry.
Secondly, we must have quite strong combat capabilities... The troops will definitely not be able to go smoothly on the way through the interweaving. Even if the Vietnamese army did not expect us to fight like this, because the interweaving process requires time, there will always be some small groups of Vietnamese army blocking it.
On the road, if the interspersed troops are all cars carrying infantry... it is tantamount to seeking death. Therefore, the interspersed troops not only require combat effectiveness, but also have strong combat effectiveness. Only in this way can we quickly resolve the small groups of enemies standing in front of us and aim at our goal.
The ground is moving in!
So I thought of the tank troops in the battalion.
Again, it is necessary to control air supremacy... This seems to be no problem, because neither the air force of China nor Vietnam has entered the battlefield. But here we are actually reflected in artillery... Just imagine, many of the interspersed troops are infantrymen who have interspersed cars
If the enemy is hit by a fire from the enemy... then there is nothing wrong with it, and it will be gone in a few strokes.
Therefore... our artillery must have the ability to suppress the Vietnamese artillery fire, or at least ensure that the interlaced troops will not be killed on a large scale by enemy artillery for a period of time!
Then I quickly understood, isn't this a blitzkrieg... Why didn't I expect this! The Germans used this tactic in World War II, but I still stick to the domestic tactics and don't know how to concentrate
Tanks and mechanized infantry interspersed! (To be continued...)
