The subsequent war was indeed as expected by Commander Jiang and I. The attacks of the Vietnamese Japanese slowed down in all aspects. |[2][3][w][x]
After all, the Vietnamese army was also very clear that without artillery, they could not defend even if they could regain any high ground and would soon return to the hands of the Chinese people.
In other words, after the fall of Balihe Dongshan, all their sacrifices were meaningless. The Chinese team had improved the defense line and the artillery also had an absolute advantage. The result of them using infantry to pile them up was only one.
That is the entire army was wiped out.
So with this conclusion, as long as the commander of the Vietnamese army is not stupid, he will soon decide to give up the attack and wait for the artillery to be transferred in.
So the battlefield soon became quiet.
Of course, this kind of quietness is relative. The Vietnamese army has always had small-scale harassment and infiltration of our defense line... This is a common tactic used by the Vietnamese Japanese. On the one hand, the purpose of doing this is to not hope that our army can build work with confidence.
On the other hand, it makes our soldiers unable to rest. Therefore, there are occasionally sporadic gunfire and explosions on the position.
But there is one place with an exception, and this exception is the 142 Highlands.
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping pointed to a location on the map and said, "This is what Commander Jiang mentioned in the Highland 142. Its geographical location is quite special and it is the forefront of our army's defense line. It is 260 from the north to the heights of our army No. 6 in the north.
The southeast is only 50 meters highland No. 5 of our army, and at the same time, it is only 200 meters highland occupied by the enemy! The Vietnamese Japanese seem to have concentrated mortars to bomb this highland in intensive manner!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and looked at the location of the 142 Highlands seriously. I thought to myself that it was no wonder that the Japanese would want to fight to rob the 142 Highlands to death.
You should know that the distance between this 142 Heights and the No. 5 and No. 6 Heights behind our army was 50 meters and 260 meters respectively. This formed a triangle with the 142 Heights as the vertex. It was obvious that the existence of this 142 Heights. The Vietnamese Army
You can't bypass the 142 Heights to attack No. 5 and 6 Heights, because this will brighten your back in front of the 142 Heights. And No. 5 and 6 Heights can provide fire support for the 142 Heights...that is, this 142 Heights
It seems to have become an outpost for the Highlands 5 and 6 and even the entire Songmaoling defense line.
It can almost be said that if the Vietnamese army wants to attack Songmaoling, they must pull out the nail of the 142 Highland.
on the other hand……
I soon noticed that the area of the 142 highland is very small. Looking at the map, it was initially judged that the length and width were only a few dozen meters. With command experience, I immediately realized that there would not be too many troops here.
"How many people are there in the 142 Heights?" I asked.
"One class!" Zhao Jingping replied: "There are 15 people in total!"
No wonder the Japanese were bombarding this highland. The 142 highland is so important, but the troops stationed in such a small number of people will be jealous of them!
"This also shows a problem!" After thinking about it, I said, "The Yue Japanese are indeed planning to launch a counterattack against us!"
"The same is true for Commander Jiang!" Zhao Jingping nodded: "This means that the Japanese invaders are likely to have entered the trap!"
The reason is very simple. If the Japanese invaders did not think about counterattacking, then this 142 high ground would have no meaning to them at all. And because this 142 high ground was stuck on their attack, they wanted to open up this channel first.
Of course, the Vietnamese army can also choose to unplug the 142 highland after it is ready.
However, if you do this, they will undoubtedly reveal their strategic intentions. In other words, they will clearly tell us that the Vietnamese army is going to attack. Moreover, if they fight for a long time, they will not be able to do so.
What should I do if I pull out the 142 Highlands? The entire battle will be affected.
Therefore, the best choice is to pull out the 142 high ground first and firmly control the high ground in your own hands. This will achieve the sudden goal of the battle in a comprehensive counterattack without affecting the development of the entire front.
So our army was in a dilemma.
Should I defend or not to defend this 142 high ground?
If you guard it, you can only 15 people stationed. Can fifteen people defend such a vital land without any danger? This is not that our army lacks military strength, but that the height is only a few dozen meters long and wide (75 years long).
Meters, 50 meters wide), if you squeeze too many people, you will be almost done with just one shot.
If you don’t defend it, you will give this to the Vietnamese devils for nothing.
"Team Commander Jiang means..." Zhao Jingping continued: "The artillery of our synthetic battalion is fast and accurate, so let us provide artillery support to ensure that the 142 highland does not fall into the hands of the enemy."
This is a feasible method. I nodded, and it seemed to be the only method... With such a weak force, if you want to defend this high ground, you can only use cannons to blow it up, and the fifteen soldiers of that squad were in the squad.
What we have to do is provide the enemy's position for the artillery and guide the artillery fire to bomb the attacking enemy. If there is an enemy coming to attack, use shells to pile them up!
So I quickly conveyed the order and asked Wu Dengxiong to contact the squad leader stationed in the 142 Highlands and carry out necessary coordination.
Later I realized that I had made things simple.
The main reason is that the living conditions in the 142 Highland are extremely harsh, mainly due to the artillery fire of the Vietnamese army and the lack of water sources in this highland.
The Vietnamese army was not in a hurry to take down the 142 Highlands. Anyway, their artillery was not ready yet. For them, they had time to toss the 142 Highlands.
So they were not in a hurry to launch an attack on the 142 Highlands, but used mortars to block the supply line of the 142 Highlands, hoping to make the middle-aged people in the 142 Highlands retreat.
This is a problem. The water source closest to the 142 Highland is one kilometer. It is very difficult to carry water back and forth from such a small hill or transport supplies to escape the eyes of the Japanese. So on this 142 Highland, it is almost
It can be said that the scene in Shangganling was staged.
Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of our army and the enemy is not the same as that of the Sino-US comparison during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. At this time, our army's artillery fire was much stronger than that of the Vietnamese army, so every time we had to send supplies to this 142 high ground, I
The military artillery had to use artillery to thunder the Yue Japanese positions...
Only in this case can our infantry have a way to deliver supplies. (To be continued...)
