I was right. Shortly after the 320th artillery regiment completed the test firing of Qingshuikou, several red signal flares slowly rose in the sky. [Almost at the same time, the whistling sound of shells came from the direction of the Vietnamese army.
and the howls of thousands of Vietnamese troops.
It is said that at this moment, the soldiers stationed on the front line were startled by the scene in front of them...
Although the infantry on the front line received the news that the Vietnamese army was lurking at the forefront of our position and was about to launch a large-scale charge, even the radio rangefinder clearly pointed out that the Vietnamese army's lurking position was not far from our defense line, but in fact, the front line of the army
The infantry didn't believe it very much.
The reason why he did not believe it was that infantry on the front line had generally tested the hidden positions of the Vietnamese army.
This is a common method used by our infantry to deal with the Vietnamese army's lurking, and it is also a common method used by the Vietnamese army, which is to conduct fire reconnaissance at locations where the Vietnamese army may lurking.
The so-called fire reconnaissance actually means using a machine gun or a mortar to shoot through the forest or grass, and sometimes even a few incendiary bombs are fired.
But after several tests, there was no situation... Our army's trial control was not just a few shots into the grass. Because the infantry received very certain information from their superiors, it said that the Vietnamese army was lurking not far from our frontier position.
So the firepower test was naturally upgraded. Our infantry located in the direction of Songmaoling even used mortars and machine guns to carefully "censor" the grass in the frontier positions several times, but there was still no movement.
So the front-line infantry of our army made this judgment: "There may be only a small number of Vietnamese troops lurking at the front of the position, or the intelligence of the superiors is incorrect!"
Later we found out that some grassroots commanders even ordered the troops to rest.
This command does seem a bit inappropriate. But I can understand this after fighting on the front line.
The psychological pressure that the rear troops have to endure on the front line is something that cannot be understood. Moreover, in this battle, the front-line troops have been under pressure for quite a long time... It has been three days since the Vietnamese army began to "silence" and now.
During these three days, every minute and every second, the soldiers thought that the Vietnamese army was about to launch an attack. This made the soldiers maintain a state of tension for a long time, so over time, it would definitely cause psychological and physical
Extreme fatigue on it.
On the other hand, during the three days of the Vietnamese army's "silence", there will be a phenomenon of "wolf coming". That is, there are too many worries, so that the Vietnamese army really wants to attack.
It cannot arouse the warriors' alertness.
What's more, the front-line infantry still used firepower to test the frontline positions and found no abnormalities, which would make a considerable number of grassroots commanders think that this time it was another false alarm.
Later, according to the instructions of the Vietnamese prisoners, the Vietnamese army was lurking in the grass at the forefront of our position, and the closest distance to our defense line was only more than 200 meters. The firepower test of our infantry was actually very accurate in attacking Yue.
In the army's lurking formation, two Vietnamese battalion commanders were shot dead on the spot, and the Vietnamese army lurking on the front line suffered heavy casualties.
However, the Vietnamese army, which lost command, remained silent with astonishing discipline, and none of the minor and serious wounded groaned or moved.
This is a bit unbelievable... We are not surprised that there are two such soldiers. In fact, many such examples have appeared in the battle between China and Vietnam. Our army has it. There are also Vietnamese army. But if it is a whole
If the troops are like this, then this discipline and quality are enough to make any troops feel inferior. Even the agents in my hands are not sure that I can reach this level.
But the 316a Division of the Vietnam Army did it, so this unit is really worthy of being the ace force of the Vietnam Army.
It’s a pity that no matter how excellent the Vietnamese army of the 316a Division is or how good the quality is... When they jumped into our trap mainly based on artillery, they were doomed to have a failure, and they were defeated miserably.
This also proves one thing: the era when the spirit can defeat everything has passed. To a certain extent, soldiers who blindly emphasize the future of technological development and high development of spiritually armed warriors are nothing more than meat in clothes.
It was precisely because the soldiers on the front line were not mentally prepared that the sudden charge of the Vietnamese army scared our soldiers.
First of all, I didn't expect that there would be so many Vietnamese troops. The Vietnamese troops lurking in front of our positions generally had one or several companies, and this was just the vanguard, and its follow-up troops were densely packed like ants, heading towards our army.
The defense line is coming.
In fact, even the person who sets a trap, I didn't expect this. I thought that the Vietnamese army would only have five or six thousand people at most. Who would have thought that the Vietnamese army actually invested three times the troops we expected.
Secondly, the Vietnamese army was closer to our position than imagined... The closest distance was only more than 200 meters, and the mines laid out by our rocket mines were even behind them.
Fortunately, our army is prepared, which is attributed to our army's intelligence department, which intercepted the Vietnamese army's radio again and again, and could accurately decipher it. This made our infantry even if they didn't believe it, they still held "I would rather believe it."
Be prepared for battle with the idea of not believing in it... After all, this is a matter of your own life.
So the battle started when the Vietnamese army started charging, and almost as soon as the Vietnamese signal flares rose, fierce gunfire and explosions sounded from the Laoshan line.
It is not difficult to imagine that if this is estimated according to the general situation, our military's defense line would not last long.
In terms of Vietnamese infantry, their troops were several times that of our army, and they successfully lurked at the forefront of our positions and achieved a good surprise attack effect.
In terms of Vietnamese artillery, they had already reserved enough shells and artillery that could clear obstacles for infantry.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the arrangement of the Vietnamese army should be sure to win.
but……
It is not the case now, our army now has artillery aiming radar.
"Fire the gun!" With my order, more than ten correspondents conveyed my order almost at the same time.
After this order, thousands of cannons fired together, and thousands of artillery shells rushed towards the Vietnamese army one after another.
These shells are actually divided into four parts:
Part one is an artillery regiment of the Fourth Artillery Division of the Synthesis Battalion. The task of this part of the artillery is to attack the artillery units of the Vietnamese army.
Considering that the Vietnamese artillery is likely to have two artillery divisions or even more, and for our army, being able to eliminate as many Vietnamese artillery units as possible at the fastest speed is the key to reducing casualties... Once the Vietnamese artillery is
If it is eliminated, our artillery will be safe, so we can concentrate on dealing with the Vietnamese infantry.
So I think it is not enough to just use one artillery battalion of the Synthetic Battalion to attack the Vietnamese artillery. So I transferred an artillery regiment from the Fourth Artillery Division to carry out the task of eliminating the Vietnamese artillery with the Synthetic Battalion.
Of course, this task has its own special features. First, the artillery troops performing this task must be of high quality and can attack the Vietnamese artillery quickly, accurately and harshly. Secondly, more importantly, when the Vietnamese artillery is eliminated or is generally eliminated.
After that, our mission is completed.
At this time, it is impossible to have so many artillery and shells left to the artillery position to play, which is undoubtedly a waste of resources.
Therefore, the troops that perform this task should be precisely the mobile troops in the artillery, which means they are used to attack the Vietnamese artillery when needed. When the Vietnamese artillery is destroyed or temporarily suppressed, they will perform other tasks.
The other part is the 320th Artillery Regiment.
The task of the 320th Artillery Regiment is relatively simple, which is to use artillery fire to blow up repeatedly in the Qingshuikou area. Their task is to make no Vietnamese troops outside the Qingshuikou unable to enter, and no Vietnamese troops inside the Qingshuikou can come out.
Don't go.
It is obvious that this will make the Vietnamese army intercepted in half and unable to reinforce each other.
The third part is the main force of our army's artillery.
This part includes howitzers, cannons, rocket launchers, etc. Hundreds of various artillery cannons were roaring towards the Vietnamese army.
Of course, at this time, the vanguard of the Vietnamese army had already strangled with the front-line infantry of our army... This is because the hidden positions of the Vietnamese army were very close to our defense line. Within a few minutes of a charge, almost all positions of our army were with the Vietnamese army.
A close fight.
It is obvious that our artillery was unable to support the front-line positions at this time because it would cause accidental injuries to our own people.
So we can only use artillery to block the frontiers of the positions and attack the follow-up troops of the Vietnamese army.
The Vietnamese army's troops were deployed as the vanguard, that is, the troops lurking at the forefront of our positions were just companies, platoon-level troops... Too many troops would be discovered by our army. Then there were battalions and regiment-scale troops.
This configuration is of course reasonable. Once the fight starts, the company lurking at the front of the position, the platoon-level forces first enter the enemy's position, so that the enemy cannot effectively organize defense. Take advantage of the subsequent battalion at this time, the regiment forces follow up.
So the enemy's position will be taken down soon.
But this is a joke to our defense.
The first thing that plays a role is a large area of mines arranged by our army at the forefront of the position... Although these mines are all exposed on the surface, it is easy to eliminate. This is a defect of rocket mines and vehicles mines. It simply throws the mines to a designated area.
inside.
But the problem is that these mines are numerous and dense. Even if the Japanese can clearly see and argue, it is difficult to ensure that they do not step on them under their rapid charge. What's more, they are bullets before dawn.
Under the pressure of shells, there is no time to argue which landmines are.
Later I learned that the Vietnamese commander's solution was to let some people charge forward while swaying grenades, and everyone was not allowed to stop, and they had to charge at the fastest speed. (To be continued...)
