Chapter 255: Latent

Returning to the front line in southern Xinjiang again is a new experience for Heng Jianyun.

The last time we fought on the Laoshan front, it was quite challenging for Heng Jianyun's company, which had never been on the battlefield.

He still remembers the warriors fighting with the Annamam monkeys for every commanding height in the cat's ear hole, on the mountainside, on every hill with a new cluster of eight-bar rifles.

In the battles in southern Xinjiang, there were very few large corps fighting. The war here has become a bite of two martial arts masters in the muddy pool.

A handful of elite soldiers fought hard in the rainforest for the ownership of one mountain after another. The side that occupies the high ground can freely direct artillery to inflict devastating blows on the enemy.

It is not so much a war between two military "powers" that took place in the eighties. It is better to say that the "Volunteers to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", which was once the strongest light infantry in the world, was the last sound of light infantry tactics.

In this self-defense counterattack against Annam in the 80s, both sides can be said to have inherited the mantle of the peak of the light infantry tactics of the Volunteer Army.

In other words, the war was a contest between the peak levels of light infantry of the fifties, which was fought in the eighties.

Historically, China, with its strong artillery superiority, pressed the Annam people to the ground and beat them violently. But behind every artillery attack, there is a journey of death in which scouts, spikes, and artillery observers dance on the tip of a knife.

Although the Chinese soldiers won the final victory, they also paid countless lives for it.

Historically, behind this war, I don't know how many tragedies and misfortunes have been left behind. How many people for this. A lifetime of pain and price.

What Hu Wenhai can do. Actually, it's not that much. There will be death in war. He just hopes that his appearance can at least make such tragedies less severe.

"Company commander, the call of the front finger. ”

Heng Jianyun and his company had been hiding in the hidden soldier cave on the mountainside of this front line for almost an hour, and although it was not the first time that they had been on the battlefield, Heng Jianyun still felt a little nervous.

Logically speaking, grassroots cadres like Heng Jianyun who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, have a military academy education background, and have deep seniority. After getting off the battlefield. Ascending to the rank is like riding in a helicopter.

After returning from the battlefield, the line will be appreciated in three or five years, and there will inevitably be a share in further study, which is the most preferential group of officers in the army today.

However, Heng Jianyun was a company commander before he went to the battlefield for the first time, and he was still a company commander when he went to the battlefield for the second time?

Someone shouted for Heng Jianyun, this shouldn't be!

And Heng Jianyun sneered, these people who "screamed" for him were either really stupid or really bad. It's just that I can't see him well.

The company commander of the synthetic regiment, which is comparable to the company commander of an ordinary army? It's not okay to put it outside and give it to a regiment leader.

All the people in the synthesis group know that today's synthesis group is equivalent to the teaching group of the Tubalu back then.

It undertakes the role of cultivating grass-roots officers and technical soldiers of new-type troops. If the strategy of using the tactical thinking of the composite regiment to guide the army building is established in the future, then the composite regiment today throws out a big soldier, at least all of them are grassroots officers of the main force. If you go out and have a company platoon commander, maybe you will be the regimental and battalion commander of the main force. As for the battalion commanders and regiment commanders of the synthetic regiment, the future achievements are simply limitless.

Heng Jianyun was already very satisfied that he was able to climb back to the position of company commander in the synthetic group, how could he be a little dissatisfied.

At this time, he and his company were hidden halfway up a nameless peak on the front line of the old mountain. Behind a hidden cave door, the entire company of soldiers was carefully hidden and lurking with a full crew.

Only the scouts and signal corps of the company were outside the cave, ready to receive command orders from the front commanders.

It's just that this order was not from the front-line command of the Laoshan front, but from Spring City, which was three hundred kilometers away.

"Can you confirm the network connection?" Heng Jianyun reached out and took the microphone of the walkie-talkie and asked the signal soldier in a low voice.

"Confirm that it is connected to the synthesis network of the former finger. The Signal Soldier nodded affirmatively.

"Eagle's Nest, this is a cheetah, please answer when you hear it. ”

"Zila-cheetah, this is the Eagle's Nest, please confirm your situation. ”

"The snow and ice cover the earth, there are no green shoots everywhere, and there is no sign of flying birds, and the cold weather will continue to be maintained here. ”

Heng Jianyun's words were translated to the effect that a search had been carried out near the position, and no trace of the enemy had been found, and there was no position on the surrounding hills that could be found visually, and the scouts would continue to search.

His face was full of black lines, and this passage was set by a guy who didn't know which childlike guy had set up. It is said to be from a Soviet fairy tale, and the ghost knows where the Soviet literature came from in China in the eighties......

"Ahh

There was a sudden sneeze from the walkie-talkie, and someone inside seemed to be asking about something.

Heng Jianyun could only vaguely hear a little content, what kind of "Mr. Hu" or shouting "military doctor" and the like.

Then I listened to the voice of the person who was pointing at the front on the radio.

"Very good cheetah, please wait for the instructions of the mountain eagle. Keep an eye out for vicious dogs waking up from hibernation to see if there are any trees alive in the forest after the blizzard. ”

"Cheetahs understand, observe the survival of trees in the forest after a snowstorm. ”

Heng Jianyun knew that the so-called vicious dog should refer to the scouts of the Annamite people, the blizzard was a long-range artillery strike in the rear, and the trees referred to the layout of the Annamite position.

That is, soon there will be a burst of long-range artillery fire that will cover the nearby Annamite positions. Their task is to confirm the effect of the strike.

Heng Jianyun threw the walkie-talkie microphone back to the signal soldier, buckled the steel helmet to his head, tied the elastic mouth on his chin, lifted his Bayi bar, and waved his hand.

"Class I, follow me!"

Bi Dagang, the leader of the first squad, didn't say a word, and followed behind Heng Jianyun with his soldiers, and came out of the hidden soldier cave.

This made the other fighters in the company a little nervous.

Since the formation of the synthesis group. There was only one opportunity to show itself during the exercises against Iraq.

This time, he went to southern Xinjiang for on-the-spot combat training. Everyone was holding back a lot of energy in their hearts. It is hoped that the correctness of the tactical thinking of the composite regiment will be proved on the real battlefield.

This is not just a simple idea of winning the battle, but also determines whether or not the synthetic regiment will be able to become the general trend of the army training regiment in the future! The benefits of this are self-evident.

Being able to play his role on such an important stage is undoubtedly a strong temptation for a soldier.

Seeing that the soldiers of the first squad followed Heng Jianyun onto the battlefield, the other soldiers in the company couldn't help but yearn for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

No one knows what the first group will encounter in this attack, and whether they will slaughter all sides on the battlefield and show their might? Can they once again replicate the great drama of Heng Jianyun and Bi Dagang burning monkeys?

Conceal and lurk in the bunker that has been set up outside the hiding hole. Heng Jianyun couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Normally, electromagnetic waves are affected by the geographical environment. As he is on a hillside facing the south, and there are no communication relays and positions of our army around, it will be difficult for him to establish contact with a radio station that is too far away, let alone a direct call with the former commander of Chuncheng, which is 300 kilometers away.

But Heng Jianyun knew that at this time, in the sky of this mountainous area, there should be a drone flying slowly.

It was with the help of this drone, which remained on the battlefield for a long time, that they were able to establish contact with the front finger in the rear.

But at this moment, he looked up at the sky, and there were not even a few clouds in a blue sky, and the visibility was comparable to the "international conference blue" level of the imperial capital. But no matter how much he looked up. But there is not even a shadow of a drone.

He knew it was because the drone was flying too high. So much so that it far exceeded the range of his naked eye.

And if you can expect to use a telescope to search the sky to find the drone, it is better to expect a meteorite to fall from the sky and drop the plane directly - both are unreliable things anyway.

The biggest difference between the needle-eye drone and the drone that Hu Wenhai changed before on the Laoshan front line that can transform into a thermobaric bomb is that it can fly very high and for a long time.

The Tashan-level turbofan engine endows the needle-eye drone with excellent fuel consumption and high-altitude performance, allowing it to maintain long-term monitoring of the ground battlefield at altitudes beyond human eyesight.

And the stealth design and composite fuselage it uses make it impossible for the weak air defense radar network of the Annamite people to discover this "little thing" flying high in the air on the Laoshan front.

This is different from the "old-fashioned" drone he experienced last time on this battlefield, the previous drone could only fly to the battlefield for a short time by penetrating defense at low altitude, and could not enter too deep in the battlefield.

According to Hu Wenhai's previous drone prototype, the front-line drone - the Blue Sword UAV has been installed in the synthetic group.

Heng Jianyun knows the Blue Sword UAV very well, it flies very fast, but it can't fly high, and it can't stay on the battlefield for a long time. It is often necessary to be called up by front-line troops to take off urgently in the rear not far from the front line.

It has "very expensive", but weak strike capabilities, and if it were not for an emergency, the superiors would never agree to turn a drone worth hundreds of thousands of dollars into a disposable cruise missile.

More often, the Blue Sword UAV acts as a guide for artillery fire and a relay for communication.

Therefore, even if the Blue Sword UAV is installed, the battlefield is still dominated by the contest between soldiers, and the UAV can only provide a certain advantage and participate in the battle as an auxiliary force.

In Heng Jianyun's heart, the needle-eye drone is probably the same. At all times, the battle must be solved by the soldiers with their hands.

As an excellent reconnaissance company commander, Heng Jianyun has always believed in ......

Chapter 256: The map is fully opened

Nguyen Van Tong carefully climbed out of the cave, and the cave of the Annamite people was not comparable to that of the Chinese, and it was only a certain modification of the tunnel.

There are no logistical facilities in the tunnels, just underground caves where you can lie down, plus underground warehouses where weapons are stored, and occasionally some basements that can stand upright, which is also the welfare of officers.

However, the soldiers who stick to the front line must not fight hungry, so the logistics and supplies must be continuously transported from the rear.

Fortunately, the entrance of this cave is open on the anticline, so Nguyen Van Dong does not have to be as worried as he was when he was scouting on the northern slopes.

Life on the battlefield is really hard now, although the Annanites have never gained anything in this war. But anyway. At the very beginning of this war. The people of Annam are very angry.

The third military power in the world. This is the title that Xiaoba has given himself. And many Annan people used to really believe so.

However, as the war progressed, many Annam people also clearly felt the gap between Annam and China.

However, with a brave spirit and a tenacious style of work, and carrying forward the tactics of the volunteer army learned from the Chinese, it can be regarded as a relationship with each other.

The war has entered its seventh year, but this war has developed in a direction that the Annam people do not understand.

For example, since last year, the Chinese's counter-artillery capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

The artillery of the Annamite only dared to open fire. Often, they are immediately confronted with a fixed point return fire from Chinese artillery. It is said that this is because the Chinese have a device called artillery sighting radar, which can push the coordinates of the cannon from the ballistic back.

Fortunately, the special combat team of the Annam people was very powerful, and soon took a position of an artillery aiming radar of the Chinese and destroyed an artillery aiming radar. It is said that there are few Chinese in this thing, and soon they lose this advantage again.

But then, the Chinese came up with a new gadget, which is said to be called a guide rangefinder. After that, there were not many Chinese artillery observers on the front line.

Ruan Van Dong had never seen this thing, but he could clearly feel that the Chinese' artillery fire on the front line support began to become faster and more accurate.

In previous years, the superiority of Chinese artillery was great, albeit great. But the Annamite have the Annamite style of play. With mobile guns and flexible tactics, there is always a way to go back and forth on the field.

Even if the Chinese suffer losses. It can only be a wild bombardment. But if this really worked, the volunteers would have fallen in front of Van Vliet's ammunition long ago.

As for the battles between front-line scouts and infantry, it is often even more impossible to give full play to the advantages of artillery.

The speed of the flow of information within the two armies of the fifties was terrible. The artillery counter-artillery is fine, but if the artillery supports the infantry in battle, they often wait for the artillery fire to fall down, and the Annam people have already calmly hid in the tunnel.

But this changed last year, when the Chinese's artillery support for front-line infantry battles suddenly became faster and more accurate.

If the Chinese army's artillery and infantry engagements were two phases before, now there is a tendency to merge the two into one. Often in a battle, the other side touched, and the Annam entered the position, at which time the Chinese artillery fire actually fell accurately on the head of the fortification. The cannonball is like having eyes, and if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle.

Or the Annamite pops out of the hillside to the north and is spotted by the observation post on the opposite hill, and is immediately covered by a fire of accurate artillery.

Either the Annamites managed to catch the tail of the Chinese scouts, and when they were about to rush forward, they were covered by a burst of accurate artillery fire -- and then the Chinese scouts stepped on the drumbeat of the artillery fire and easily threw off the pursuing troops of the Annamite people.

This war is more and more beyond the scope of the syllabus of the Volunteer Army of that year - Teacher, you have exceeded the outline of this question!

Of course, for the Annan people, they don't know what the exclusive term is called supergang.

But at least many veterans of front-line operations clearly feel that the war is rapidly shifting in directions that they are unfamiliar with.

In short, being able to go out to transport supplies from the anticline is better for Nguyen Van Dong than to carry out reconnaissance like sending him to death in the direction of the northern slope.

He first carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that there was no ambush by Chinese scouts. Although the anticline will not be detected by Chinese observation posts and attract artillery fire, occasionally there will be "guts" of Chinese scouts to grab their tongues. The first rule of the battlefield, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

As a veteran, Nguyen Van Dong never made such a careless mistake.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in his surroundings, he cautiously ran out towards the south.

The company's radio communications equipment had failed again, and he had to rush to the rear supply base by evening and return with the next supply team. Seven or eight sick comrades-in-arms were waiting for him to come back with medicine, and there was absolutely no room for failure on this trip.

Fortunately, he was already familiar with the terrain in this vicinity, and the battlefield was exceptionally quiet today. The Chinese did not fire artillery nor that nasty little plane flying around. Let his actions go quite smoothly.

The supply base is also a tunnel in the mountains. It's just that the tunnels here are more complete, and the warehouse can hold more materials, which is a little far from the front line hill.

Although the supply base is still within the range of Chinese heavy fire, it is behind the defensive line, and without artillery observers or sharp soldiers responsible for fire guidance, heavy artillery fire cannot pose a threat to this base.

Nguyen Van Dong arrived by evening, not finding any traces of enemies along the way, not even encountering a single slightly larger animal.

After reporting the much-needed medicines to the quartermaster. He soon received a suitcase containing medicines that were hopeful and would help his comrades get back on their feet.

Before evening, the small detachment that was supplying him to the top of the hill was about to set out. Ruan Van Dong hugged the medicine box in his arms tightly, and vowed that no matter what happened, he would definitely send the medicine back to the tunnel where the company was sticking.

"Relax, comrade. ”

The temporary captain of the supply team patted Nguyen Van Dong on the shoulder and comforted him as if he were a recruit: "We are here in the rear, and the Chinese scouts will not go so far into the battle line now." The sky will be our best cover, and we have done this many times. It is rare to run into the shadow of a Chinese scout, there is nothing to be nervous about. ”

"Comrade Captain-" Ruan Van Dong pursed his lips and nodded: "I'm just thinking about my sick comrades-in-arms. ”

"They're going to be fine. Rest assured. The captain smiled with satisfaction.

When the sun went down and the night covered the land again, the supply team of the Annamite people crept out of the pit mouth of the base. Although the captain of the supply team said that there was no need to be nervous, he did not have the slightest carelessness in his actual actions. Concealed and silently advancing, scouts, cover groups, militia and support units, a squad of more than ten people already has a clear and professional division of labor.

It has to be said that this captain is a veritable expert in mountain warfare. Under his command, the team is rapidly weaving through the tropical rainforests of southern Xinjiang.

......

The former finger of Chuncheng is 300 kilometers away from the front line in southern Xinjiang.

The front refers to the command hall, which is brightly lit at this time. In front of the two rows of radio stations, the signal corpsmen in green uniforms were already calling the various communication units, waiting for the commander to give any orders through them.

On the walls of the command hall, where large-scale paper maps were placed, have been replaced by a screen for film projection. The specially imported high-lumen projector hits the image on the screen, so that people can clearly see the content displayed on the screen in the brightly lit command hall.

Three projectors project three images side by side onto the screen, taking up the entire area of an entire wall. After more than half a year of construction, the information transmission and positioning network has been completely built in the front of the spring city.

These three screens are the electronic maps of the southern Xinjiang front, marking the indicative movements of all the enemy and friend positions. The battlefield surveillance screen transmitted by the needle-eye UAV in real time, as well as the online status of each unit in the theater.

With this system, military commanders' grasp of the battlefield will no longer be a matter of seeing. Any of his orders can be transmitted to the grassroots officers of every online unit in an instant and without barriers.

A commander's grasp of the battlefield has never been so intuitive and rapid.

The operator, who was in charge of controlling the needle-eye drone, suddenly swung the projection display at an angle and switched to thermal imaging mode.

Immediately after that, his voice rang out: "Report to the commander, find an unknown enemy military unit, please instruct!"

"Electronic staff officer, transmit the target to the electronic map, show me the units available for fire strikes. ”

"Yes!"

The electronic staff officer that Chuncheng pointed to before was a professional specially recruited from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and as soon as he joined the army, he was at the level of division staff officer, and he didn't know how many low-level officers with hard work and qualifications were envious.

However, these people really have two brushes, and without their professional ability, the army will never be able to play this system.

Soon, the coordinates of the squad discovered by the drone operator were marked on the electronic map. At the same time, the firepower units that can strike at their location are also displayed in green on the map.

"Order the Green Arrow Cruise Thermobaric Bomb Detachment to prepare for launch, needle-eye drone, I want to take an infrared top-down image of Area 37 to observe whether there is any similar squad activity in this area?"

"Commander, the needle-eye drone reports that a suspicious tunnel exit has been found in District 37!" )
