"Oh!" After a long time, Commander Liang sighed and said, "I thought it was because I had thought that if I called the helicopter, I would have air power, and we would have enough troops and firepower to face the enemy at the same time.
Three positions launched an attack...it seems now..."
"So?" the political commissar asked me unwillingly: "What Battalion Commander Yang means...is this helicopter unit is not suitable for participating in the battle in Faka Mountain?"
"That may not be!" I replied: "If the helicopter is allowed to provide fire cover for the offensive troops on the periphery of the helicopter... this problem is not big. After all, the helicopter is equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and long-range rockets, and we have the advantage of movement
...It is difficult for the Vietnamese anti-aircraft machine gun to hit us. We can fly into the air in batches to implement firepower cover for infantry without dead corners, and at the same time disperse the Vietnamese firepower! But... I am afraid that this will not fundamentally solve the problem.
!”
Commander Liang nodded: "If you really want to fight... maybe you can also fight. In order to minimize the casualties of our army, we cooperate with our division's attack... the superiors assigned a total of three artillery regiments for our army to command, and these
The artillery regiment has three bases of storage, and the stock is still increasing. Under the strong artillery cover and the cover of helicopter firepower... Our infantry first occupied positions No. 4 and 5, and then took down three positions...
It’s not difficult! But... if you fight like this, you will be afraid of casualties..."
Commander Liang’s analysis makes sense, this is what we often call hard gnawing... There are three artillery regiments to cover, and there are endless shells... The Vietnamese artillery troops can almost be said to be suppressed by us.
After fighting, you can free up one or two more artillery groups to bombard Faka Mountain, and the bomb will also flatten it!
The problem is... The Faka Mountain is too narrow, with a length of only more than 100 meters... and it is the width of the foot of the mountain. The more you attack, the narrower it will be... This almost made our soldiers concentrate and rush forward, as long as Vietnam still
There are one or two machine guns that will fire... There are dozens or hundreds of casualties, so how can we achieve the goal of controlling casualties within 200 people required by our superiors!
So a combat meeting that should have come to an end was deadlocked... Everyone in the division headquarters racked their brains to find a solution, but never came up with a good offensive plan... The main reason was that there was a limit on the number of casualties.
For example, what is the interspersed siege... As long as the Japanese invaders come, the battle has not started yet... the number of casualties will exceed the upper limit.
For example, some cadres suggested sending scouts to cut off the logistics supply of the Vietnamese army... After more than a year of preparation, the amount of ammunition stored in Faka Mountain was not easily consumed.
!
Not to mention... Even I was in trouble at this moment, for the same reason as other cadres... This is the first time I have fought this battle with casualties and is within 200 people!
You should know that the Battle of Fakashan is the largest battle since the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and it is also the first time our army has recovered the cavalry point occupied by the Vietnamese army... According to international law, no troops can be stationed on both sides of the border line for many kilometers.
Yes, our army abides by this regulation when it withdrew from Vietnam, that is, a few kilometers after our army retreated to the border.
But the Yue Japanese didn't care about this. They recovered a little bit of energy and seemed to be no longer fighting, so they slowly pushed the army forward... Isn't this? Last year was 1980
On the moon, the Vietnamese army pushed this to the Faka Mountain!
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards my superiors... Isn't it going to take it off sooner? Now we have to take it down with such a small casualty!
But then again... there is a reason to not occupy this, we have a reason for not occupying it internationally, right? The military always serves politics, and we have nothing to say about this!
It’s just that we soldiers are suffering... I don’t know how to play when we are stuck here!
Suddenly I thought of something...Faka Mountain... Since it is easy to attack and difficult to defend against the direction of the Vietnamese army, why don't we attack from the direction of the Vietnamese army?!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slam my head and screamed, "I have it!".
This shocked the cadres around him, including Commander Liang.
Then Commander Liang asked with anticipation: "Captain Yang has thought of a solution? Tell me!"
"Um!" I blushed and said, "I...this is my idea..."
Seeing the cadres around me with trust and expectation expressions, I was no longer polite, pointing to the topographic map on the table and said, "The three positions of Faka Mountain have made it difficult to attack from our army.
And it is much easier to attack from the Vietnamese army..."
Commander Liang nodded: "It's true...so our army has difficulties in defending. I also discovered this when considering the subsequent defense issues..."
"So..." I said: "Why don't we attack from that direction in Vietnam?"
"Attack from Vietnam in which direction?" The political commissar and Commander Liang looked at each other and said in disappointment: "What Battalion Commander Yang means... to surround the back of Mount Faka? We have already discussed this...
If you want to penetrate the left or right wing of Faka Mountain, you may be blocked by the Vietnamese artillery fire..."
I shook my head with a smile and said only three words: "Helicopter!"
The political commissar was stunned for a long time before gradually reacting and nodding slightly.
But Commander Liang slapped the table and shouted: "Yes... We just thought about inserting and surrounding, but we didn't expect that we could use a helicopter to directly lead the person over!"
"But there is still a problem here!" Commander Liang pondered for a while, then said with some concern: "You can descend to the back of Faka Mountain, which can be said to have entered the encirclement of the Vietnamese army... You must know that the Vietnamese army is in France.
There is a regiment of troops around Kashan, not to mention... At that time, you were on the backscene of Fakashan, which was the dead end of our army's artillery fire, so it would be difficult for our army to provide cover for you..."
Commander Liang’s worries are indeed necessary. We must know that we can be said to be going deep into the enemy’s backbone. If the Yue Japanese discovered our intentions... we would not know how many people would die if we hit a fire!
"So..." I said: "We can't let the Japanese devils find that we have penetrated, or try not to let them discover it. It's too late when they find it!"
"This..." Commander Liang looked at me in disbelief and said, "How is this possible? This is a helicopter's rope landing!" (To be continued.)
