"Battery Commander!" Just as I was sitting at my desk and worried about the defense line of the Vietnamese army step by step on the map, Zhao Jingping reported to me with a telegram: "The telegram sent by the division headquarters, the Vietnamese army had just transferred it.
The artillery division that came has been deployed, and the motorized infantry regiment will also arrive at the front line within half an hour!"
"Yeah!" I nodded and ordered: "Forward this news to Highland 142 immediately!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded.
"And!" I continued to ask: "How many shells have been shipped from the artillery battalion?"
"Not half a cardinality yet!"
"What happened?" I asked: "Didn't you emphasize the artillery battalion first? Why is it less than half a base yet!"
If we calculate based on the base of each gun, sixty shells, it means that each gun is less than thirty rounds, which is not enough to fight a gun battle... It's hard to believe
This is the transportation capacity given priority to the synthetic camp.
"Battery Commander!" Zhao Jingping replied helplessly: "The logistics troops really want to give us priority to the delivery of shells, but it is not easy to do it. The reason is that the artillery in our artillery battalion is too scattered and the artillery position has just been changed.
, few people can find the right location now…”
"Oh!" I understood after hearing this.
The problem Zhao Jingping mentioned does exist. First of all, since our artillery battalion is used to attack Vietnamese artillery, this special task requires that the artillery battalion must be dispersed... This part is also because the synthetic battalion has enough
Communication equipment and sufficient quality should be used to disperse artillery to various places and operate uniformly.
Secondly, I just ordered the artillery troops to transfer positions. Moreover, these positions are still military secrets. Therefore, the issue of transporting artillery shells really makes the logistics troops unable to start.
What I don't know is that the logistics forces were already in chaos at this time.
This chaos does not mean that the logistics troops are panicked. After all, the logistics troops are usually trained and trained in actual combat.
The reason why it is chaotic is entirely because of the urgent mobilization of the people by the troops.
The situation we are facing now is that if there are shells, you will win, and if there are no shells, you will lose.
The logistics forces are also very clear about this, so even though we are on the battlefield are anxious, the logistics forces are also anxious... Not to mention the issue of post-war accountability, there are not many soldiers fighting on the front line, even the logistics forces are
I will worry about holding the responsibility, these are life-long lives.
The fact is that the soldiers of the logistics army are thinking more about one thing. That is, their efforts and efforts can bring the lives of front-line soldiers and even the victory of the entire battle, so they are immediately full of energy.
But there is no motivation. There are only so many cars in the army. We can't transport them with bamboo baskets and cannonballs like the Japanese invaders. The transportation efficiency is too low. It will also be too far-reaching and incomprehensible thirst!
So there was no way, and in desperation, our army's logistics command had to ask for help from the local governments of Honghe Prefecture and Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan.
The phone number is very simple, it is to transport shells by car.
Originally, the logistics commander thought that this car might be difficult to get, after all, this is not a joke. This shell needs to be moved to the front line. If the Japanese cannonballs are intercepted, they will kill people if they are not moved.
So they just took the attitude of how much they could be. But unexpectedly, when the local government heard about this situation, it mobilized the whole nation without saying a word... On the one hand, it used radio and telephone to order the mobilization of all agencies, businesses, and enterprises.
Vehicles that can be used to transport artillery shells. On the one hand, all cadres at all levels were dispatched to search for vehicles all over the city, streets and villages. In the end, the road was simply closed. As long as they ran on the road, they could transport artillery shells, none of them were
Exceptions were stopped and asked to transport shells.
Speaking of the consciousness of the people of this era, there is nothing to say. When they heard that they were transporting artillery shells to the troops to support the front line to fight, they all drove to the arms warehouse without hesitation.
There is a problem with this. Many of these cars are loaded with goods, and some are also valuable. For example, if a car is transported with a medicinal material worth 30,000 yuan or 40,000 yuan, this is 10,000 yuan.
The era when households were still rare animals was undoubtedly a considerable wealth, but the owner did not unload all the medicinal materials on the ground and drove away.
There are also cigarettes, steel bars, and pigs... At this time, the relationship between the military and civilians is reflected. Basically, no one will ask for anything or negotiate compensation. Everyone holds "Time is life."
"The attitude of unloading goods on site is immediately put into the transportation ranks.
However, I think that part of this is because the Vietnamese border residents also hate the Vietnamese devils. As mentioned earlier, the Vietnamese army has been harassed by our borders, which has caused serious losses to the lives and property of the border residents for a long time. And we
The People's Liberation Army fights the Vietnamese Japanese, so who can we help if we don't help the People's Liberation Army?!
In this way, the transportation capacity has indeed been strengthened, but there have been great difficulties in organizing transportation.
On the one hand, this is because our army's artillery positions are uncertain, and the locations of these artillery positions are still confidential, and the marks and signs made on the road are also marked with secret codes, which ordinary people cannot understand.
On the other hand, because artillery has different calibers, the shells needed also need different models, such as howitzers also have 122mm and 152mm, and the people have no regrets about these.
So the wrong shells were transported and the wrong paths were endless in the process.
Even the logistics forces have no choice.
The reason is that these people and the vehicles used for transportation are spontaneous, and they don’t know when and which vehicle will suddenly transport a full car of rocket shells to the howitzer position, so they can’t organize it even if they want to.
Fortunately, the people are not stupid. They are not stupid. After one mistake, they will not be able to make the mistake again for the third time. Some people even spontaneously take the blame after consuming the mistake of transporting the artillery shells once.
Organizing tasks means guiding the way for later generations, so this kind of transportation gradually got on the right track.
What moved us soldiers even more was that... the logistics force originally only asked these civilian vehicles to transport the shells to a gathering point behind the second line, and then transferred them to various artillery positions by the logistics force.
There are two reasons for doing this:
First, the problem of transporting the wrong shells can be avoided. The shells will be carefully classified and then transported to the front line when they are at the assembly point.
Second, it can reduce the danger to the people... You must know that this is to transport shells to the front line, and no one knows when the Japanese cannon shells will be fired.
However, after learning these reasons, the people all agreed that this would greatly reduce transportation efficiency... The shells must be unloaded at the assembly point and then loaded onto military vehicles. I don’t know how much time it will be wasted when loading and unloading them.
, it's just taking off your pants and farting.
Therefore, the people did not obey the command of the logistics troops at all, and drove away with shells. It was precisely because of this that the subsequent chaotic scenes would be possible.
But in this case, a miracle happened.
Although the whole scene was chaotic, there was no traffic jam for more than 5 minutes since the beginning and there was no car accident.
What's more, no matter how many trips the drivers ran back and forth or how long they stayed on the front line, no one had ever eaten a bit of military ration. Only a very small number of vehicles added a little military use when they suddenly realized that the gasoline was not enough and they couldn't turn back. Gasoline. With basically no soldiers following the car and very few soldiers leading the team, tens of thousands of shells transported were actually a small number of them.
When I heard this, I didn't know whether it was because of luck or something.
But I think that if so many vehicles transport so many shells, and it took twelve hours to do this until late at night, it would not be possible for "luck" to make sense.
If I really want to explain it, I think this should be the result of the whole nation's unity and high self-consciousness.
Of course, I didn’t know these situations at this time. What I was thinking about was: the Vietnamese artillery had already arrived, and our shells had not been replenished enough... How to fight this battle?!
After thinking about it, I called Huang Jianfu.
"Fifth Company Commander!" I said: "The Vietnamese Japanese are likely to use artillery and the newly-launched motorized regiment on the 142th Highlands. Don't fight with the Japanese, do you understand?"
"I understand!" Huang Jianfu replied without thinking: "Please rest assured, battalion commander, I will not embarrass the Synthetic Battalion!"
A standard Chinese-style answer, so I can't tell whether Huang Jianfu really understands it or is false.
I wanted to explain something else, but after thinking about it, I finally hung up the phone after a few words of encouragement.
After all, I am good at commanding infantry and I don’t know much about tank tactics... Although I also understand a little about the need for coordinated combat between multiple arms of the Synthetic Battalion, I have few opportunities to use tanks in the Sino-Vietnam border area. So there is no further research.
So, at this time, I can be said to be an outsider. The outsider commands Huang Jianfu, the best choice is to let him fight according to his own ideas and ideas, otherwise it may be a bad thing.
The facts also proved that I was right. After Huang Jianfu heard that the Vietnamese Japanese had transferred a batch of armored vehicles and T72s, he formulated a detailed plan for this situation.
Later, when asked why Huang Jianfu could still deal with the enemy and us so calmly when the troops were so different, Huang Jianfu replied: "In that battle in 1979, our tank battalion suffered heavy casualties and injuries due to the enemy's sneak attack. I, a tank soldier who had just joined the tank unit, became the battalion commander of the tank battalion. At that time, I thought that the Japanese devils won the battle and played with us. However, after studying in the synthetic battalion for so long, I understood. This is how war is. The reason why we suffered such heavy casualties at the beginning is that we cannot blame the enemy, we can only blame ourselves and our own lack of skill in learning.
Now, we are no longer tank soldiers in 1979!”
When I heard Huang Jianfu say these words, I suddenly realized... The guy who cried in front of me at any time had grown up at some point. (To be continued...)
