There were trains and cars along the way. I had to work hard for nearly ten days before I arrived at Malipo County... We are so familiar with this place. A few months ago, our delegation headquarters was located here, so when I was When I jumped out of the car, I felt a sense of intimacy of revisiting the old place. I even thought of the brick cellar we lived in before and went to see it.
But what comes closely with this intimacy is the longing for my comrades... I can't count how many comrades died in this area.
"Battlefield Commander Yang!" At this time, a cadre with a guard saluted me and said, "I am Zhang Chengjie, a staff officer of the Second Regiment of the Ninth Border Defense Division. Commander Chen ordered me to receive you!"
"Oh!" I nodded unexpectedly. I thought it would be Chen Jiahao who came to receive us. After all, he was at least familiar with me, but now another staff officer appeared... This also means that he is in his heart. There are also grudges, and it is almost impossible to cooperate closely with them in the next battle.
The troops got off the train next to me, and then camped at the designated location under the command of each company commander. I handed a cigarette to Staff Zhang and asked: "Now How is the situation?"
"The situation is not very good!" Staff Zhang hesitated and replied: "When we were training, we didn't expect that the Japanese devils would use the tactic of layered excavation, so there were many casualties..."
"There are great casualties?" I couldn't help but wonder: "You have only been here for a few months..."
"It's mainly to grab the position!" Staff Zhang looked at the surroundings and lowered his voice and said, "Teacher Chen ordered us to grab the mountain top position that the 40th Division lost, and even the reverse slope, so..."
"Oh!" I understood as soon as I heard what Staff Zhang said.
The 40th Division is not impossible to fight. In fact, they are a unit that has fought from counterattack to the last few days. Their combat experience and combat effectiveness can be said to be no less than any unit. The reason why they lost some positions... ...It's not that I can't get it back, but that under the Vietnamese army's stratified excavation tactics, they made concessions to preserve vitality or reduce casualties.
But the Ninth Border Defense Division wanted to bring these positions back... The purpose here is very obvious, which is to overwhelm the 40th Division in terms of momentum, making it more capable than the 40th Division... but in fact it is used Human life is constantly filling, filling and raising!
No wonder Commander Zhang sent me to this place...
I took a deep breath of smoke and then vented a thick smog... With Commander Zhang's wisdom, it is impossible not to know that our Synthesis Battalion and the Ninth Border Defense Division were not in line with each other. So if we were to send us to the position, we could say that we could follow any A unit is better in cooperation than with the Ninth Border Defense Division... But he still wants to send us here. I think on the one hand, we are more familiar with the terrain of this area, and on the other hand, we are trying to change the Ninth Border Defense Division as soon as possible Use human lives to withstand the situation of the position.
"Which unit is now stationed in the 581 Highland?" I asked.
"That area is garrisoned by a regiment!" Chief Secretary Zhang replied, thinking about it, he added: "It is the regiment of Chief Secretary Chen Jiahao!"
"Yeah!" This is not unexpected to me. The Chen family's father and son's style is to do whatever they do. Simply put, they will rush to wherever they are dangerous and difficult to fight... There is nothing wrong with this. OK, it can even be said to be brave. But the problem is that their purpose is not to defeat the enemy and win the final victory, but to make superiors or other troops think they can fight... so they will use a large number of soldiers. Life goes to fight!
For example, now... can we say that the Chen family father and son have no military achievements? At least they have taken back more positions than the 40th Division. Can we say that they have not paid? The casualties of each soldier are obvious!
"Tell me about it." I said, "We can be ready in three days. My troops will need some time to adapt to the climate and hydrology here. At that time, I hope that Commander Chen can let us go to the 581 Highland area.
Cooperate with the battle!”
I try to talk about this time as short as possible. Beijing and Yunnan are one north and one south, with a climate difference of 108,000 miles. Especially the environment on the battlefield is very harsh, so three days are very necessary.
"That's right!" Staff Officer Zhang said: "The division commander told you not to be too anxious and have more rest! It's not too late to wait until the troops are ready before going to the battlefield. In addition... you'd better bring the tanks, armored vehicles, etc.
Make a list of equipment and report it to him. If there is any situation, the teacher will make arrangements..."
I smiled and said only one sentence: "Let Commander Chen come to discuss with me!"
As he said that, he ignored Staff Zhang, who was full of embarrassment, and went straight to the newly built regiment headquarters by Zhao Jingping and others.
Commander Chen’s intention is very obvious. He just wants to split our synthetic battalion... This is the manifestation of an irresponsible commander. What he is afraid of is not the enemy but his own people.
The reason is very obvious. Although the enemy was very powerful at this time, the Ninth Border Defense Division had already used human life to hold back the Vietnamese Japanese, and even brought back more positions than the 40th Division. As long as it could withstand the orders of the superiors, the Ninth Border Defense Division.
The division returns to defense...that means success and fame.
But when our troops arrived, it became a variable... If we fight better than the Ninth Border Defense Division and can annihilate a large number of enemies at a very small cost, it will seem that the Ninth Border Defense Division is incompetent. That's why he hopes that we will
It is best not to go up... take a rest for a while later, or accept his command and separate our troops from various troops into each unit, so even if you win a battle, it will become a border guard.
The teacher's credit.
Of course, Commander Chen should have known that I would not be able to obey his command... If I obeyed his command, my life would have been over. So we faced the problem of cooperation and coordination between the two troops as soon as we got off the car.
...I'm afraid even Commander Zhang didn't expect this.
The facts are indeed as I thought... After three days of training before the battle, there was no news on the Ninth Frontier Defense Division. After four or five days, there was still no news... Our army seemed to be completely left behind.
It was like playing behind him. Staff Zhang kept saying that he was not anxious or not. He would respond to the situation to the division commander... but he always left without any sound.
On the sixth day, I couldn't help but call the division headquarters. The person who answered the phone was a staff officer. When he heard that I was the battalion commander of the fifth battalion, he replied: "Comrade Battalion Commander! Your desire to fight
We can understand, but the problem is... the front line is very stable now, and our army is in a state of pursuing the Vietnamese army. At this time, there is no need for the cooperation of other troops... You can wait! If necessary, we will
Notify you as soon as possible!”
After hearing this, Zhao Jingping was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it! Why did he say that the front line is stable... Chen Guohao was so kind that he announced the loss ratio between the enemy and us! He also said that he would pursue the victory, which made us all want to compete with other troops.
Like credit!”
"This kind of thing happens!" King Chuangye said angrily: "The superiors are anxious to stabilize the southern Xinjiang front. We are here in a hurry, but Chen Guohao doesn't let us go to the front line! I want me to say...
...This Chen Guohao is Qin Hui, Pan Renmei, and he is doing the matter of destroying the Great Wall himself!"
"Battery Commander!" Zhang Zuoliang interrupted, "Or... let's report to Commander Zhang! Tell me about this situation..."
I shook my head and said, "Commander Zhang is far away in Beijing, and it is difficult to understand the real situation, let alone... Even if the mandatory order is issued, it is too easy for Chen Guohao to wear small shoes for us... Just throw it to us a mountain without any enemy situation.
Or just give us the hills on the second line!"
"That's right!" Zhang Zuoliang couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "What should I do? On the one hand, I have to hurry to stabilize the front line, but on the other hand, I don't let us go to the battlefield!"
"I'll go talk to him!" I said.
"Is it useful?" Zhao Jingping expressed doubts about this.
"I know what he wants!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Oh...Battleman Commander Yang!" When I appeared in the headquarters of the Ninth Border Division, Chen Guohao pretended to be enthusiastic and stood up to welcome us in.
"Oh, Battalion Commander Yang!" Chen Guohao poured me tea and said with a smile: "Look... I have been busy with military affairs. You old friends can't treat you well even if you come.
, I'm so sorry!"
"Teacher!" I said straight to the point: "I think you know what our purpose is for this time. The superiors are very worried about the situation in southern Xinjiang, and there is a new situation in northern Xinjiang. I can't tell when it will be
There will be major changes, so I hope we can stabilize the front line in southern Xinjiang as soon as possible so that we can free up our hands to deal with the situation in northern Xinjiang!”
"Yeah!" Chen Guohao nodded: "Yes, yes... I have also considered this, so we are now striving to occupy the commanding heights and force the Yue Japanese back, and it has already achieved great results..."
"Teacher Commander!" Seeing that there was no one around, I interrupted Chen Guohao's words: "We don't have to beat around the bush! I mean... Let's fight, and the credit will be given to the Ninth Border Defense Division!"
"How do you say this!" Chen Guohao was still beating me, haha: "Captain Yang, you misunderstood what I mean..."
"You can say that we are fighting under your command!" I said: "My troops and I will cooperate. All we need is to summarize combat experience and be able to spread it in the army... As for who is this combat experience
That's not what I care about!"
Chen Guohao thought about it and said hesitantly: "Commander Zhang..."
"As long as you do not substantially interfere with my command of the synthetic battalion and hand over the 581 Highland to us!" I said: "Then I will send a telegram to Commander Zhang immediately and persuade you to obey your command! This will only benefit you and me.
There is no disadvantage, what do you think?"
Chen Guohao was silent for a while before nodding slowly and said, "One word is a matter of determination!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations. Monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
