After using helicopters to fly to the reverse slope of Faka Mountain and bomb them a few times...the Vietnamese army was almost used to it.
In order to achieve better concealment, we also fired a few smoke bombs on the reverse slope of the Vietnamese army... At this time, the smoke on the battlefield had actually achieved the effect of smoke bombs, but we wanted the smoke to be thicker, so We can also carry out our own rappelling plan secretly.
On the other hand...it is precisely because of the cover of gunpowder smoke that we can fire smoke bombs with such confidence...gunpowder smoke is also smoke, and smoke bombs are also smoke...the shells continue to explode randomly into the position, with a few pieces mixed in. No one can really tell the difference between a smoke bomb and a smoke bomb.
This also hides our strategic target very well... Otherwise, as soon as the Vietnamese army sees the smoke bombs we fired, there is no need to think about it... they will definitely launch a sneak attack!
"Report to the battalion commander!" Zheng Liangqiang reported to me: "Our army is attacking the reverse slope of Faka Mountain, and the effect is remarkable!"
This is the secret code agreed between Zheng Liangqiang and I... When we say the four words "remarkable effect", it means that our army's artillery has blown up the Vietnamese army on the reverse slope of Faka Mountain or is hiding. Went back into the tunnel. At the same time, the smoke and darkness had reduced the visibility on the reverse slope to very low...
To put it simply, it meets our requirements for rappelling!
"Very good!" I replied with four words: "Keep working hard!"
This is also a code... On the surface, these four words sound like they are asking Zheng Liangqiang and others to continue doing this... In fact, they are asking them to take the next step, which is the most critical... rappelling!
"Yes!" Zheng Liangqiang responded and quickly conveyed the order in code words.
The one I was flying was a command plane... It was far away and I was still observing the battlefield from a relatively high position, so I could only see the two helicopters going around to the left and right behind Faka Mountain as usual... …
What they want to do is no different from the previous helicopters. They are still attacking the reverse slope of Faka Mountain under the cover of our army's mortars and howitzers... The mortars attack the reverse slope of Faka Mountain. The howitzers attack the reverse slope of Faka Mountain. Far away... This is done firstly to create smoke, and secondly to provide fire cover for the helicopter in case the Vietnamese army has anti-aircraft firepower that poses a threat to the helicopter!
However, what the Vietnamese army didn't know was... In fact, the mission of the two helicopters this time was different, that is, while hovering, they secretly lowered the soldiers of the two squads down as quickly as possible... …
"Return on the 1st!"
"Return No. 2!"
What I heard in my ears was Zheng Liangqiang’s report. This actually told me... Helicopters No. 1 and No. 2 have successfully completed the rope landing!
But I don't know exactly the situation of the soldiers in these two classes... The reason is that I am worried that the target will be exposed too early and the effect of the surprise attack will be lost!
So before other troops can successfully rappel... they have to lurk in the enemy's position and maintain radio silence!
There will be a problem in this process... If the radio silence is maintained, the batches of infantrymen of our army who have rappelled over... how can they know when their troops have completed the rappelling and can launch an attack? You need to know this But in the darkness filled with smoke, it was difficult for them to even assemble under such circumstances!
This problem is solved by time limit...
That is to say, we were given fifteen minutes... As soon as the fifteen minutes were up, we immediately turned on the phone to contact the friendly forces, and launched an attack on the Vietnamese Army's No. 3 position as quickly as possible!
So I simply stopped watching the process...but just stared at the watch in my hand, watching the hands slowly go up to fifteen minutes...
"The troops rappelled successfully!" The report I got was this: "At this time, they have successfully assembled and are ready for battle!"
"Okay!" I couldn't help but secretly praise in my heart. It is indeed a unit of the special agent company... It can be assembled in a short time under such circumstances. If it were other troops... I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find the enemy or fight indiscriminately.
It's a ball.
But I think... I am afraid that the two sisters Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao are also responsible for this...
Originally, I didn't really want these two sisters to take on such a dangerous mission... But after thinking about it, one of them is a tracking expert... which allows her to find friendly forces in low visibility situations. The other is familiar with Vietnam.
The various arrangements of the army... This included bamboo stick arrays and other things, so I sent them after careful consideration.
Now it seems that this decision was the right one!
"Initiate an attack immediately!" I gave the order: "The other parts will provide fire cover, and at the same time, prepare the Second Battalion to storm positions 4 and 5!"
Since the troops were already powered on and assembled at this time, I didn't need to use code words to issue the order.
"Yes!" The correspondent quickly conveyed my order.
Gunshots and explosions soon rang out on the back of Faka Mountain... At the same time, six helicopters flew past... Needless to say, the role of these six helicopters is to cooperate with the special agent company.
Two platoons attacked the Vietnamese army's Faka Mountain from the back!
Just when I thought this battle was going to end soon, the correspondent suddenly turned around and reported to me: "We found a defense line organized by the Vietnamese army, with a strength of about two squads!"
"What?" I couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this: "How come there is a Vietnamese defense line? There are still two squads of troops?!"
You must know that the key to this battle is speed. If they are restrained by other units of the Vietnamese army on the way...then the Vietnamese army at main position 3 will be ready soon, and then this battle will be difficult to fight.
... What's even more dangerous is that if Position 3 is not taken down quickly, my two platoons of agent companies are very likely to be surrounded by the reinforcements of the Vietnamese army who forcefully break through our artillery blockade... At that time, the casualties will be huge.
!
"Battal Commander!" the correspondent replied: "This line of defense is the hidden defense line of the Vietnamese army's anti-slope fortifications... According to Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao's analysis, this line of defense is the Vietnamese army's preparation... that is, after losing its position, it can rely on this line of defense.
Use hidden fortifications to quickly recapture Faka Mountain!"
"Oh!" I understood after hearing this.
The Vietnamese have also learned to take precautions before they happen... This is really a good way to build a hidden fortification first... Even if the main position of Faka Mountain is captured by our army, the Vietnamese army can also secretly enter this hidden fortification.
...and then suddenly launched a charge against the position in our army's hands... The characteristic of this fortification is that it must be concealed enough, otherwise we will blow it up in two blows!
It is precisely because of this that we have never known the existence of this line of defense... so it played an unexpected role at this time!
