Good guy, after hearing this, Commander Xu and I couldn't help but look at each other. This 38th Army is indeed the 38th Army. As an infantry army, its equipment is so complete.
However, this made us determined to launch a raid at night. The reason is very simple. We lost contact with the two battalions of the airborne troops, which meant that they were reinforced by our artillery and fighter jets, which meant that they became a lone army.
, then it is only a matter of time before he is eaten by the Red Army.
The only way to rescue them now is to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, that is, to reduce the pressure on the Red Army's airborne troops by raiding the Red Army's tank regiments and artillery units.
Needless to say, this task of raiding the Red Army troops was naturally undertaken by our combined battalion.
Of course, because there are two targets for sneak attacks in this mission, they are the tank troops and the artillery troops of the Red Army, and these two troops are very large... The tank troops have a regiment, and the artillery troops have a division, and they are even divided into
Several troops are in different locations.
Therefore, it was not enough for our combined battalion to complete this task. Fortunately, the airborne troops were already equipped with helicopters at this time. We urgently transferred dozens of these helicopters and divided them into several parts, which was barely enough.
The problem is that the helicopters of the airborne troops are used to mount Beijing jeeps or assist the airborne troops in combat during training. In other words, neither the soldiers of the airborne troops nor the helicopter pilots have undergone rope descent training, so they can only use airborne landings.
The Red Army launched a surprise attack.
This method is undoubtedly very dangerous. In fact, even if our combined battalion can rappel, it will be very dangerous due to the insufficient defense of the Zhiwu Reform. However, because our army is prepared or unprepared. And there is the cooperation of reconnaissance troops on the ground.
So it's worth taking the risk.
But having said that, this is an exercise and not actual combat. To take a step back... Even if our raid is unsuccessful, it will just happen to allow the Red Army to win the battle, and then we won’t have to worry about it anymore.
.
But perhaps because of the arrogance in the bones of soldiers who never admit defeat, neither we nor the airborne soldiers are willing to end this exercise in this way. This can be seen from the fact that the pilots and soldiers of each unit have taken it seriously and actively prepared for this exercise.
You can tell at one point.
"01 is good." The pilot's reports came from the earphones one after another: "03 is good.", "07 is good."...
"Take off!" As I gave the order, dozens of helicopters rose up with a "chug" sound in the air, and then quickly formed a formation in the air and flew towards the war zone.
The Red Army was certainly right to implement radio jamming against the airborne troops, because it would prevent them from contacting the Blue Army headquarters. But what they didn't expect was that the real ones we were killing were the reconnaissance troops... By Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao
The two reconnaissance units he led were able to contact us after getting out of the range of the Red Army's radio interference and accurately report to us the positions of the Red Army's tank units and artillery units.
I have great confidence in Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao on this point, because they both came from the more complex terrain in Vietnam. The terrain in the Yinshan Mountains of Zhangjiakou is now much better than the jungles of Vietnam.
In addition, although the Red Army is well-trained, it has no actual combat experience against agents, so I don't need to think too much. I just wait for their report with peace of mind.
I was right. By the time of contact in the evening, we had indeed obtained four coordinates. One of them was the coordinates of the Red Army tank unit, and the other three were the coordinates of the Red Army artillery unit.
But what surprised me was that Chen Qiaoqiao reported in a hurry. Even when she reported the fourth coordinate, she didn't finish the report before she reported it all.
Later I learned that Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi’s reconnaissance was not as smooth as I thought. Although the 38th Army did not participate in the battle, they were not idle after our army’s self-defense counterattack. Just like the 15th Airborne Army also realized
It is very likely that our own tactics and equipment are already weaker than those of the enemy. The 38th Army also has this awareness.
It can even be said that the 38th Army has strengthened this awareness. The 15th Airborne Army only allows the troops to communicate and discuss with the troops who have participated in the battle, so as to know some of the Japanese tactics and equipment. The 38th Army directly allows those
Soldiers and cadres who came off the battlefield and performed well on the battlefield served as instructors for their troops, and even a group of veterans who had fought in the war were specially asked to play the role of Vietnamese troops to fight against them.
So although the 38th Army, which has been going back and forth like this, has never really fought against the Vietnamese on the battlefield, its combat experience and quality are actually no weaker than those of veterans who have fought.
This seems to be the case. The 38th Army, the troops that defend the capital Beijing, if they don’t even have this advanced awareness and advanced training, then don’t mess around.
This also made the reconnaissance work of Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao not easy... Although Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were both masters in tracking and lurking, the reconnaissance unit of the 38th Army soon realized that enemy agents had infiltrated.
Because the 38th Army’s reconnaissance unit uses Vietnamese agents as imaginary enemies during normal training, and Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi happen to be Vietnamese agents. In addition, the 38th Army also has advanced radio listening equipment and military dogs with sensitive senses of smell.
This made it very difficult for Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi to deal with it.
This is also the characteristic of the 38th Army. As a force that defends the capital, it is also the trump card among our army's trump cards, so no matter what advanced equipment there is, it will be equipped first.
Fortunately, Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were superior in terms of actual combat experience. In addition, they knew the location of the Red Army's tank troops and artillery units from the photos taken by reconnaissance planes in advance, so they finally detected this location.
Several coordinates.
Only three of the four coordinates are available, but it doesn't matter. We didn't originally want to annihilate all the Red Army's tank units and artillery units. In fact, we don't have that capability... there aren't enough helicopters.
Just knowing that with the abilities of Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi, it was so urgent that even the fourth coordinates were not given out in a hurry, I had some doubts about this raid plan.
The reason is very simple. If the Red Army knew that our army had reconnaissance troops infiltrating, and even tracked the reconnaissance troops, would they guess our purpose?
After all, this is not difficult to guess. On the one hand, there are only a few targets that they can sneak attack on, and on the other hand, the exercise lasts only a few days. In other words, as long as the Red Army suspects that we will launch a sneak attack on them,
, then it is almost possible to predict the future.
