While our army was preparing for the upcoming war, the Vietnamese army did not relax in the past few days.
According to the intelligence from spies we arranged in Vietnam... the Vietnamese army has transferred at least three infantry battalions and four artillery battalions and a large number of artillery shells into the Faka Mountain area.
In this regard, our army is not to be outdone. In order to suppress the Vietnamese army in artillery fire... Commander Liang immediately fired a report to his superiors. Two 152MM howitzer battalions were added to supplement the cannon group entering the Faka Mountain.
, that is to say... the artillery that has now been covered by firepower for Fakashan has reached two large and one small group of three artillery groups, and this has not yet been included in the mortar force.
In order to accurately capture targets, our artillery troops have opened 32 observation stations and 1 radar stations on 15 high grounds with a length of 17 kilometers on the front and a depth of 6 kilometers... In this era, technology is not yet developed, artillery can only rely on artillery observers and personnel.
Detection and calculation provide coordinates for artillery units, so the more artillery observation stations, the better... The more it means that the wider the scope of the Vietnamese army that can be observed.
Just like now... the 32 observation centers of the artillery troops can observe an area of 21 kilometers on the front of the Vietnamese defense line and a depth of 15 kilometers.
Of course, the Vietnamese artillery was not outdone... and dozens of observation centers were also opened opposite our army, and even these observation centers were intertwined... That is, the artillery observation centers of the two armies of China and Vietnam were located on the same high ground.
, and there was a life-and-death struggle.
So... this Farka battle did not only happen on the hill of Farka Mountain, which is only more than 10,000 square meters. In order to compete for the small hill of Farka Mountain, the battles of all sizes have actually spread to more than a dozen
Kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away.
The preparations of the Vietnamese Japanese were not only in artillery, but also in reconnaissance...
The Vietnamese army's reconnaissance of us mainly starts from two aspects...
On the one hand, it is air reconnaissance... Although the Vietnamese Japanese were a poor country, with the help of the Soviet Union... at this time they already had some very advanced equipment.
For example, the reconnaissance aircraft used by the Vietnamese devils to reconnaissance our army is the MiG21P reconnaissance aircraft provided by the Soviet Union to the Vietnamese army... This reconnaissance aircraft is a tactical reconnaissance aircraft modified based on the Soviet MiG21... This modification
In fact, it is not difficult. It is just to replace the machine gun with an aerial camera. Then install some electronic equipment to interfere with the antenna or something.
Of course, it is not enough to just use reconnaissance aircraft to reconnaise our army... The main combat weapon of the Vietnamese army is the 160MM mortar, and their tactics are also to use 160MM mortar to strike the fortifications on the back of our Faka Mountain to make our army
Losing combat effectiveness... This makes them have to try their best to grasp the situation of the back slope fortifications of Faka Mountain.
This is something that reconnaissance planes cannot capture in the air... The reason is that the fortifications on the back slope are usually tunnels or cat ear piercings, and it is difficult to accurately grasp these situations from the air.
So the Vietnamese army showed their crazy side again... to exchange their lives for intelligence...
That is another method of reconnaissance by the Vietnamese army... they pretended to launch a feint attack on Faka Mountain, but on the other hand, they sent agents to secretly penetrate our defense line. After I reconnaissance on the back slope, they then used a walkie-phone to transmit the information back
.
Of course, the reconnaissance of the Vietnamese Japanese did not have much effect... The reason is that we arranged snipers on positions No. 4 and No. 5... These snipers can be said to be the natural enemies of the Vietnamese Japanese who infiltrated.
There is no need to say more about the reason... the snipers are like ghosts hiding in the darkness. They always fire a deadly bullet when the Vietnamese agents most unexpectedly.
It is precisely because of this... Vietnamese agents called these snipers of our army "ghost warriors"... and infiltration missions have also become the most difficult task for Vietnamese soldiers to face.
What surprised me was that this kind of reconnaissance by the Vietnamese army was not only targeting Faka Mountain, but also conducting infiltration reconnaissance on the two highlands of Uroto and Kaka Mountain.
The reason why many were surprised by this...is because this action exposed their next strategic goals? This is obviously telling us... The next attack of the Vietnamese army will connect Uruto and Kaka
Fight the two high grounds together!
But thinking about it, I think it's actually nothing strange...
The Vietnamese commander has also realized that the Chinese commander is also a smart person... Chinese soldiers will definitely think that the next step will be to fight with the other two high grounds, otherwise this "side-fire firepower" will not be solved.
The problem.
So the commander of the Vietnamese army stopped hiding... he simply launched a reconnaissance on the two high grounds openly.
This is why the more savvy the commander is, the more ordinary the battle is.
After the two sides fought so openly and secretly for a few days, the battle finally started on the night of the sixth day... This time was longer than the five days I had expected before, so I didn't think it was strange... The Japanese were just planning to use it before.
The 160MM shells bombed a highland in Faka Mountain, but now they plan to use it to blow up three highlands. Therefore, the amount of shells required will naturally be much more than before, and it will take six days, so it will not be surprising.
So this is not because the Vietnamese army was slower than before in transporting shells during these six days, but rather much faster than before.
The battle started at 10 o'clock in the evening...
That night I was smoking at the map in front of me under the oil lamp... The reason I used the oil lamp was not because our place was backward. In fact, the place was powered on before the war, but because of the war... the shells exploded with each other.
The wires were blown up and down every few days. And if the wires were broken, it would also cause accidents... it would cause fires or electric passers-by, so this time, the wires would simply not be repaired...
We all used oil lamps.
As for the electricity used by our troops... they all use batteries!
At this moment, a burst of bombing sounded suddenly on the Faka Mountain... Then Zhao Jingping's report...
"Battery Commander! The Vietnamese Japanese launched a large-scale bombing on Faka Mountain..."
After pausing for a while, Zhao Jingping continued to report: "Pu Liude and Jae Kashan were also bombed by the Vietnamese army... It was confirmed that it was a 160MM delayed shell!"
Finally the fight started... When I heard this information, I felt a little more comfortable. You know, these days... we have been in a situation where "the storm is coming and the wind is filling the building", although it has not happened on the front line.
What a war... but I felt uncomfortable as if there was a stone pressing on it.
Now that I finally heard the news that the Japanese devils started fighting, I felt a sense of relief.
I looked at my watch... It was exactly ten o'clock in the night...
Ten o'clock?
I couldn't help but frown, not understanding why the Japanese devils chose to start fighting at this time...
You should know that the start time is very important to the party you can choose. For example, when we attacked before... we chose five o'clock at dawn, so that we will soon be at dawn after we occupy the high ground. This pair of defenses will be at dawn.
The advantage situation... But now the Vietnamese Japanese chose to start fighting at 10 o'clock in the night... It's really surprising!
Later I learned that the Japanese devils would choose to start fighting at 10 o'clock.
Then the information flew towards me like snowflakes.
From this information, I know... the Vietnamese Japanese bombing was still bombing like last time. This also made our army's long-range artillery fire dare not act rashly again.
However, judging from the situation of the Fakashan report... the density of this bombing was not as high as the last time.
I think the analysis of the King of Chuang is very reasonable. The King of Chuang took this information and said to me: "Battery Commander... I think the 160MM artillery of the Vietnamese Japanese were limited. The last time they concentrated all the 160MM mortars.
Bombing my Faka Mountain, but this time, I used the same number or similar number of 160 mortars to bomb three high grounds at the same time... Therefore, the density of shells falling on my high ground within a unit time will definitely be greatly reduced.
In other words, if the Japanese invaders want to achieve the expected bombing effect, they may need to extend the bombing time!"
I agree with this... but I thought to myself: Maybe this is also the reason why the Vietnamese Japanese need to send troops to risk their lives to infiltrate into my reverse slope reconnaissance this time, and they want to set the start of the war at 10 o'clock... 160 Combat
There are not enough guns, they need more time to destroy my fortifications, and at the same time they also need more accurate information on my fortifications.
As expected, just like the King of Breaking and I thought... The bombing of the Vietnamese army lasted for three hours, and the Vietnamese army adopted the method of layer by layer bombing... The so-called "layer by layer" is its purpose and
It is not for the purpose of killing people, but for the purpose of blowing up the fortifications... Just like a line-by-line printer, it is pushed forward and exploded layer by layer.
This also carried out key bombings on some parts... It can be imagined that these parts must have been mastered by the Vietnamese Japanese infiltration and reconnaissance after they mastered the location of our army's tunnels and trenches.
After rough statistics... there were about 400 artillery shells bombed by the Japanese devils on the Faka Mountain in these three hours... This is the data counted by artillery observers near the artillery. These data seem to be of useless to statistics... But for us
These commanders are quite useful because we can estimate the remaining amount of the Vietnamese 160MM shells or the fortifications on the Faka Mountain based on this.
This data is similar to the amount of shells that the Vietnamese Japanese attacked on Mount Faka... So I believe that Mount Faka, including Uraroto and Mount Kasan, do not have many fortifications left.
Sure enough, we soon received information from the front line: "The fortifications in each highland were severely damaged, and the trenches were blown up. Fortunately, the ammunition depots were mostly preserved because of their hidden and solid construction!"
