"Yes, just transfer the 316a Division!" I pointed to the map and said: "Commander Jiang, have you considered... Although our army had a fierce artillery battle with the Vietnamese army in the direction of Laoshan, which caused heavy casualties to the Vietnamese army, this is also
This made the Vietnamese army more vigilant, but why were they still unable to gather a sufficient number of artillery pieces to fill this gap in nearly a month?"
After a pause, I continued: "The reason is very simple, actually it's because of Kou Linshan.
"That's right!" Commander Jiang nodded and said: "The Yue Japanese are called a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart. They don't know that we are recovering these highlands just to prevent them from harassing our army. Instead, they think that our army
They would rely on favorable terrain to attack. This wrong judgment directly caused their mistakes in troop distribution!
You are right, the reason why the Yue Japanese were unable to replenish the artillery gap in the direction of Laoshan in time is that they still refused to relax the defense in the direction of Linshan."
There is a certain truth to what Commander Jiang said. The Vietnamese army's distribution of troops has indeed misjudged the strategic purpose of our army. Our army has emphasized from the beginning that we do not want to occupy an inch of Vietnam's land. All we want is to teach Vietnam and the border people a lesson.
Stability and peace, and only when borders are stable and society is peaceful, can the domestic economy develop at a faster pace.
But this actually cannot be blamed on the Vietnamese army. Because in war, you can never rely on the kindness of the enemy.
This is true for us. Of course the same is true for the Vietnamese army.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army will naturally deploy heavy troops in strategic areas such as the lost Kau Lin Mountain area to prevent our army from launching another "self-defense counterattack against Vietnam."
"This phenomenon has actually worsened now!" I pointed at Kou Lin Mountain and said, "You must know that the main peak of Kou Lin Mountain is in the hands of our army, and the Vietnamese army thought that our army had an advanced telescope that could easily and
A quick calculation said that the Vietnamese army's artillery positions... This has been confirmed in the direction of Laoshan, and we do not occupy the main peak in the direction of Laoshan. So once we use this telescope on the main peak of Koulin Mountain, the result will be
What could it be?"
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Commander Jiang couldn't help but suddenly realized: "The Vietnamese army, which was originally a frightened bird... will definitely think that our strategic purpose is to expand the results of the battle on the front line of Kulin Mountain!"
"Yes!" I said: "So, from this aspect, we had a large-scale artillery battle with the Vietnamese inadvertently, which may be a good thing. Because the Vietnamese would think... the Chinese
Are they that stupid? Will they expose their strategic intentions so easily?"
"Yes, yes!" Commander Jiang laughed and said, "I believe that's what the Vietnamese commanders think now, or that they are still in a state of ambivalence and waiting to see the future situation. Otherwise, they should have taken the lead in the direction of Linshan.
The artillery was brought in to strengthen Laoshan’s defense, instead of an infantry division being brought in as a backup!”
I nodded. This is what I want to say. The purpose of the 316a Division transferred by the Vietnamese army is obvious. It is just in case... what if the Chinese attack Laoshan? So this
The 316a Division can temporarily withstand the squadron's attack or delay it for a period of time. During this period, the artillery in the direction of Linshan can be transferred to Laoshan and make up for the lack of artillery in Laoshan.
That's why there is a saying that "tactical victory can never make up for strategic failure." So what if the Vietnamese army has more combat experience? So what if the Vietnamese soldiers are all hard-working and like our army, are not afraid of death? So what if they have more combat experience?
The commanders were not wise enough and made mistakes at the strategic level, which doomed them to failure in the end.
"That's a good idea!" Commander Jiang nodded after thinking about it: "And it's obvious that the Vietnamese army will have a problem of insufficient troops to defend such a long line of defense. Once we cause the Vietnamese army to cause trouble, our army will attack Linshan."
Illusion, then there is a high possibility that this 316a division will be transferred to the direction of Koulin Mountain!"
There is no doubt about this. You must know that since the self-defense counterattack of 1979, the Vietnamese army has called for all the people to be soldiers, but a small country is a small country after all. The total population of a country is only more than 80 million, and most of them are old people.
How many regular troops can a country with weak women and children have to contend with a country with a total population of more than one billion?
So the result is that in order to be able to confront our army on the long border, the Vietnamese army put most of its troops here to fight a war with no possibility of victory. Even these troops had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
"We can divide our approach into three steps!" Commander Jiang then said to himself thoughtfully: "First, secretly mobilize the 'new telescope' to Kuolin Mountain, secondly, send a small number of troops to pretend to create false images, and again mobilize a large number of troops.
Radio stations of all types are moving in the direction of Koolin Mountain!"
"Hmm!" After hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly thought that Jiang is still old and hot after all. I just thought of the "new telescope", and the two points that Mr. Jiang mentioned next are a good supplement or auxiliary. In this way
, it will create the feeling that the mountain and rain are about to come, and the building will be filled with wind and rain.
"Very good, it's settled!" Commander Jiang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Xiao Yang, that's good, that's good... Commander Zhang really did not misjudge the person, and your combined battalion is not in vain!"
"Teacher, thank you!"
"That's it!" Commander Jiang unconsciously took out a cigarette again and lit it for himself. Shen Ling said: "If the enemy in front of us only has the 313th Division and a small amount of artillery, it will be much easier for us to deal with it.
!”
"Commander!" I couldn't help but ask at this time: "The mission of our combined battalion is..."
"Hmm!" Mr. Jiang couldn't help but slap his forehead when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I've forgotten the real thing just by telling you this!"
"That's it!" Commander Jiang pointed at the map and said, "Let me tell you the general situation first. Laoshan is a place...the terrain is quite complicated, and the Vietnamese have occupied Laoshan for three years now.
, they built a large number of tunnels, trenches, and caves to hide soldiers on Laoshan, and set up multiple barbed wire fences and traps in front of the position.
, anti-infantry trenches and other obstacles. Warning minefields are set up 400 to 600 meters away from the position, and mixed minefields with wide fronts and high density are set up 5 to 100 meters away from the position. These minefields
It is also equipped with various obstacles to form obstacle areas. The gaps between the obstacle areas are also equipped with fire control, forming a large depth in the defense setting.
In the defensive positions of the Vietnamese army, our army's reconnaissance troops also found out that they were equipped with various combat firearms, forming direct fire, curved fire, long-range fire, close fire, and reverse fire; upper, middle, and lower open fire, covert fire, etc.
Intensive firepower equipment that combines firepower with each other.
In addition, the artillery observers of the Vietnamese army also prepared artillery fire on the roads, important military targets and possible attack sections within our army. They even conducted test firings on some important sections... Don't look at the fact that the Vietnamese army usually fires artillery.
It’s just for fun, but actually they have their own purpose.”
I nodded. I had seen this in previous artillery battles, because the Vietnamese artillery had the ability to block the retreat of our second artillery company at the first opportunity. This showed that the Vietnamese army had a detailed grasp of our army.
The main highways in the territory are well equipped with artillery fire.
"In view of the difficulties in these aspects." Commander Jiang continued: "We believe that we must give full play to the advantages of the artillery sighting radar, that is, under the command of the artillery sighting radar, the artillery is required to solve the above difficulties for the infantry. Is there any
How to do it?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp... Although artillery sight radar can indeed be said to be a miracle in this era, it would be too difficult to solve such a problem.
After thinking about it, I frowned and replied: "As for the Vietnamese artillery's preset artillery positions for roads and important military targets in our territory, this is relatively easy to do. As long as the Vietnamese artillery fires, the artillery sighting radar will
We can easily calculate the location of its artillery positions, so as the attack continues, the threat to us from the Vietnamese artillery will become less and less."
"Yes!" Commander Jiang nodded: "This solves the problems of logistics, reinforcements and offensive continuity."
"Clear the minefields and obstacles in front of the position..." I hesitated for a moment and nodded: "There is no problem in doing this. The artillery sighting radar can effectively guide our army's artillery fire into the designated area, but this requires more
Artillery units and sufficient ammunition."
"These are not problems!" Commander Jiang replied without thinking: "In addition to our own artillery regiment of the 40th Division, our superiors have also strengthened the Fourth Artillery Division, the 14th Army Artillery Regiment, and the 41st Division for us.
Artillery Regiment. In terms of artillery shells, we have also reserved a base of 2.5 ammunition!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp... Mom, that's six artillery regiments. Six artillery regiments plus the artillery battalion of our combined battalion. Such a powerful artillery unit can deal with the two artillery regiments of the Japanese.
, and the Yue Japanese artillery was not fully prepared and lacked ammunition. More importantly, we also had the command of the artillery sighting radar, so it would be a bit overkill!
What I don't know is that our army is actually trying to kill a chicken with a bull's-eye in this battle.
Because the troops Commander Jiang mentioned just now are only the artillery part, there are also strengthened infantry regiments, communications regiments, engineering regiments, automobile regiments, military region reconnaissance brigade behind enemy lines, the 42nd Division reconnaissance brigade, Malipo County militia regiment, etc.
The total number of people is several times that of the 313th Division of the Vietnamese Army. It is no wonder that when Commander Jiang mentioned that the Vietnamese Army had the 316a Division in the direction of Laoshan, he was quite confident that they would capture Laoshan. (To be continued.
