Before the old man returned to his hometown, he specially took my mother to the garrison area to thank them for their hospitality.

I was accompanied by Qingqing's wife.

By that time, my son had been discharged from the hospital and returned to school.

Yongliang also returned to the unit and went to work.

Yongliang's mother thanked me for leaving, saying that there were a few pigs at home, and some chickens and ducks, so I didn't worry.

People in their thirties, about the same age as me, have a few gray hairs and deep forehead lines on their foreheads.

I'm ashamed. To tell the truth, Yongliang didn't take care of anything when he came to the East China Sea, and even his salary was set by Mr. Wu. Because of avoiding suspicion, the buddy didn't even say a word.

In order to save Qingqing, the kid closed the ghost door and walked away.

On the day of leaving, Qingqing's wife drove and brought a large bag of East China Sea specialties, what peach crisp, Chenghuang Temple spiced beans, Chenghuang Temple pear paste candy, White Rabbit milk candy, Gaoqiao muffins, said that they came to the big city, and went back to share it with their families. He also said that he would accompany Junjun to his hometown, visit his cousins and sisters, and eat the poultry and livestock she raised and did not feed them.

There are also foods to eat on the road, such as taro, pot stickers, Fengjing Dingho, Jinze Zhuangyuan cake, snails, fried steamed buns, Nanxiang xiaolongbao, braised bran, etc. bought a sleeper ticket, Yongliang's mother was flattered, and said that Yongliang's grandfather and mother-in-law all came from a hard seat.

Afraid that she wouldn't accept it, before the train started, Qingqing's wife forced her into a large envelope of 10,000 yuan.

At that time, I was still limping, and I didn't have a good idea.

"Alas, the years are unforgiving. Look, day by day, you are all growing up!"

Of course, in front of my father and mother, I don't dare to say this, and I just say this proudly with Qingqing's wife.

"When I was ten years old, you were still breastfeeding. ”

"No shame! ”

In exchange for pinching and squeaking, pain and happiness.

The car drove to the gate of the garrison area, and three staff officers-like people were already waiting.

"Salute! Warmly welcome the old chief, return to the old army for guidance!"

The guards on both sides also saluted with guns.

Panicked, Dad, hurriedly returned a standard military salute through the car window.

"Please ask the chief to get out of the car and inspect the old troops. ”

A staff officer stood beside the car and said in a loud voice, and the other waited for Qingqing's wife to get out of the car and drove to park.

Later, my dad told me that this was not his old unit. Because after returning from North Korea, he stayed in the General Staff for a period of time, and in order to survey and map the military topographic map, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

Therefore, many comrades in the army regard him as a comrade-in-arms!

In addition to the fact that the old troops to resist US aggression and aid Korea are overlapping ones, because they have participated in the self-defense counterattack against India and the Soviet Union, there are actually only two real old troops of Daddy: one is in the southwest and the other is in the northeast.

On both sides of the wide aisle leading to the headquarters building, soldiers with guns lined up. On the bayonet, there was a cold, dazzling light.

Dad refused his mother's support, straightened his waist, stepped on the land of the motherland, and walked forward solemnly and slowly. The military salute in his hand has not stopped. Also look around left and right.

The military song sounded loudly, passionate, majestic!

The commander and commissar, walking briskly down the steps, after saluting. Affectionately holding Daddy, he walked up.

When we arrived at the conference room, the guests and hosts sat down.

"First of all, let us warmly welcome my old chief and come back to guide the work!"

The commander said excitedly.

The applause was warm and uniform.

"Ah, Xiaowei, oh, no, Comrade Commander of the Patriotic Guard, I don't have any guidance, for a while, more than 20 years, right?"

Daddy was also excited.

"yes, we've been separated for more than 20 years. I still remember, old chief, 30 years ago, when you ordered the company commander to open a small stove for me to learn how to identify and simply map and map military topographic maps, it seems like it was just yesterday. ”

Tears gradually appeared in the commander's eyes.

"Hahaha, you kid, you were born to be a fighter, I didn't look away! Tell me, your most proud regimental command operation, that Western Front against Vietnam. ”

Dad shouted excitedly, "Listen to another old comrade-in-arms, Huo Xinghua of the Eastern Front, you kid was the first to conquer the fortifications of the "Tongdeng Fort", and later the banner of victory was the first to be planted on the main peak of Liangshan!"

"Yes! I'll report to the old chief. First of all, it is necessary to explain the background of the battle, which is also what you taught, saying that the analysis of war history must start from the overall international and domestic environment, then the battlefield situation at the campaign level, and finally, the tactical analysis of specific battles. ”

Commander Wei, said with a smile.

"Hahaha, do you remember? That's just my personal experience of fighting in those years, I can't take it seriously. At present, we are all talking about operations under high-tech and information-based conditions, as well as joint operations of land, sea, and air forces.

O great army, do you remember that last year we discussed on the phone that the United States was fighting the war in Iraq? That guy, the air force is so powerful, there is nothing to do with the army!"

My father knew me, and I remembered that our father and son, that is to say, in the military, would talk endlessly, and my father, who had been serious and authoritative all his life, allowed me to express my opinions freely.

In my mother's words, "This grandfather and son, when it comes to military affairs, no one will let anyone, with a red face and a thick neck, and they each turn their books, like a war, and the ceiling will fall down if the voice is high."

After the fight, the shoulders were hooked, and the peanuts and pig's head meat were drunk. Behold, it's so good, it's almost like a brother!"

"Ah, Daddy, are you trying to let my class get an axe? Uncle Wei and them are the best in the army. Don't you want me and Uncle Clausewitz to discuss military strategy? Don't you dare, don't dare!"

My head shook like a rattle.

"Hahaha, old chief, you have a successor!"

Commander Wei laughed heartily.

"Look, the eldest nephew of the old sister-in-law, whom you recommended, was the first to rush to the main peak with me; Now, your son, too, is interested in the military. Counting your fathers, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a loyal martyr and a soldier of three generations, right?"

The commander said reverently.

Therefore, as commanders, we must study more, use our brains to fight, and fight skillfully. Don't let our lovely soldiers make senseless sacrifices. ”

Daddy said with emotion.

"Alright, listen to my orders. Comrade Liu Dajun, I have given you an arduous and glorious task to explain the process of the US-Iraq war, and do you have the confidence to accomplish it?"

Commander, stand up and speak with a neutral voice.

"Yes! Chief, Reserve Captain, resolutely complete the mission!"

I quickly stood up, stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and replied loudly.

Oh, college military training, it's not two months for nothing. Shooting, three times, 5 rounds each time, I hit 49, 50, 50 rings respectively.

The instructor also praised me, looking at your posture of lying on the ground and shooting, you are calm and decisive when firing, maybe you have the potential to be a sniper.

After graduating from university, I held the honorary position of deputy company commander of the reserve captain.

"Hahaha!

The commander and the commissar, both laughed.

Qingqing's wife, leaning sideways, tilting her head, her eyes full of surprise, love and adoration, little star. Twinkle and twinkle, shiny.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the seniors in the army, I will be ugly! Please criticize and correct what is wrong. “

After that, the introduction began.

"Looking back at the whole process of the Iraq war for more than a month, it can be roughly divided into four stages:

The beginning of the war. Beginning on March 20, 2003 (Iraqi time), the U.S.-British coalition launched a large-scale air and ground offensive against Iraq, codenamed "Operation Decapitation" and "Shock".

After the war began, Bush made a televised address to the nation, announcing the beginning of the war to overthrow Saddam's regime, stressing that the war would be "resolved quickly."

At this stage, the US-British coalition forces successively dropped more than 2,000 precision-guided missiles of various types to more than 10 cities and ports, including 500 Tomahawk cruisers, to more than 10 cities and ports, including Baghdad, Basra, Najaf, Mosul, Kirkuk, and um Qasr. At the same time, Saddam Hussein also addressed the whole country, calling on the Iraqi people to resist US aggression and defeat the US-British coalition forces.

The stalemate phase of the war. Due to the long supply lines and the resistance of the Iraqi side, the goal of a "quick victory" of the US-British coalition forces was not achieved, and the ground offensive was once blocked. The Iraqi army engaged in fierce battles with the US-British coalition forces in Karbala, Hilla, and Hindiya in central Iraq. At the same time, hundreds of Iraqis return to Iraq every day from Jordan and other countries to join the fight against the US-British coalition.

The turning point of the war. Relying on air superiority and mechanized troops, the US-British coalition forces launched a powerful offensive in several directions, successively capturing Basra and other important cities and strategic points in southern Iraq, and forming a joint encirclement of Baghdad, thus making the war one-sided. On 8 April, U.S. forces advanced to Baghdad from both the north and the south and seized the Rashid military airfield southeast of Baghdad. American tanks marched into Baghdad and captured the city of Saddam. In the face of the long march of US troops into Baghdad and Tikrit, the Iraqi leader called on the army and people to take a "common death" attack on the US-British coalition forces.

The end of the war. The U.S. military announced on April 15 that the main military operation in the Iraq War had ended and that the coalition forces "had taken control of all of Iraq."

The Iraq war lasted more than 40 days, and the United States achieved its goal of overthrowing Saddam's regime by force. The war has so far cost the United States more than $20 billion.

To sum up, it is only a superficial appearance of this war that took place last year. I can't see the essence and what is behind the scenes, and I can't judge it, and militarily, although bold speculation and careful argumentation are admired, speculation without any information is not allowed!

Please comment!"

I stood up and saluted, and ended the debriefing.

"Okay! Now, let me analyze why this war ended in a one-sided manner faster than Germany's first blitzkrieg invasion of Poland.

Commander of the Patriotic Nation, stand up and comment.

"After World War II, the world was still not at peace, and more than a dozen wars took place, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and the Iraq War. Among them, the most unexpected war was the Iraq war.

It was a war that even the Americans themselves could not believe and that made the whole world unbelievable.

Because before the war, Saddam Hussein had an army of more than 1 million, and Saddam claimed to be the third most powerful country in the world. Its army was the fourth largest army in the world at that time, and it experienced the baptism of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, which can be described as a powerful army.

Moreover, at that time, Iraq also had the most powerful air force in the Middle East and a considerable number of navies, which could not be underestimated as a whole.

In terms of the army, it has the most powerful and well-equipped army in the Middle East. Its army consists of 950,000 regular troops, 480,000 reserve troops, 5,600 tanks, 7,500 armored vehicles, and 3,800 artillery pieces. In addition to this, Iraq has a paratroop of 650,000 troops.

Moreover, Iraq also has a very advanced and complete air defense system. The KARL system was laid out in the detailed form of the former Soviet Union, designed by the French, and covered the whole of Iraq. Under the control of this system, Iraq's warplanes, ground-to-air ** and overhead artillery constitute a flat fire network, which can basically radiate to all Iraqi airspace.

The commanders of the Iraqi theaters were all Saddam's henchmen. Saddam delegated command to the commanders of the various theaters, and once the command center lost contact with the four theaters, the theaters could fight flexibly and fight correctly and how.

After the US military began to attack, Saddam Hussein shouted a counteroffensive in front of the people, and Saddam Hussein made a nationally televised speech, declaring: "We will launch a counterattack against the United States in the air, on the ground, and at sea from all parts of the world." The US aggressors will be plunged into a sea of fire," putting on a posture of fighting a bloody battle with the US military to the end.

However, in 2003, the United States launched the war in Iraq, and the American military was originally expected to be caught in the vast sea of war between the Iraqi army and the population, and the war would be stalemate, and even if the American military won, it would pay a heavy price, and so on.

As a result, the U.S. military entered Iraq almost as if it were no one, and the multinational force led by the United States completely defeated or crushed Iraq on the first day.

Iraq's air defense system quickly lost its effectiveness under the suppressive attack of the US military's long-range precision guidance** and the air force, and this air-ground showdown, which can be said to be the largest in the history of the war, ended in one day under the absolute crushing of air power.

Within a few months, Iraq's so-called million-strong army collapsed, collapsed, and even disappeared into thin air. Moreover, the Air Force did not see the battle, and the Navy simply did not have a shadow.

Soon the U.S. military entered Baghdad, and Saddam Hussein was captured after eight months on the run. So the question is, where did Saddam's million-strong army end up?

First, most of the dead and wounded.

At the very beginning of the war, the United States destroyed Iraq's ground command, aerial radar, control centers, and transportation arteries, making the air force blind. Although the army initially put up desperate resistance, it almost became a massacre rout under the advanced guided weapons of the US army.

Second, 20% surrender by mutiny.

In addition to the majority of the casualties, there are not a few Iraqi troops who have taken the initiative to raise their hands and surrender, and the proportion is at least more than 200,000. The most typical is Saddam's cousin, who can be said to be a person whom Saddam Hussein trusted more, and he was in charge of the defense of Baghdad at that time. However, under the preferential conditions of the US military, he chose to surrender, making it easy for the US military to occupy Baghdad, and the cousin immediately left on the US plane.

Third, break it into parts.

After the damage, the vast majority of surrendered, the remaining army was weak in combat and demoralized, and the soldiers fled more and more. At this time, Saddam Hussein also felt that confronting the US military head-on was a dead end. So an order was given, the army was disbanded, broken into pieces, and guerrilla warfare was fought.

What should be explained here is that most of the disbanded ones did not break into pieces, but really disbanded and went home.

Of course, what the people of the world did not expect was that Iraq would be defeated so quickly and completely, and this war also reminded us of the arrival of a period: in the face of absolute weapon superiority, the comparison of numbers is meaningless.

Let's take a look at a set of data: Before the Gulf War, Iraq's main air defense weapons were relatively old, basically products of the fifties and sixties of the last century, and their performance was backward, especially the performance and working spectrum of the main Sam 2/3 and 6 had long been mastered by the Americans.

According to the experience of previous wars, in the contest between air strikes and air defense operations, the loss rate of combat aircraft is 1 to 2 percent. The multinational force will lose 70 to 140 sorties per day of 7,000 sorties, and according to the total number of sorties 109876 multinational force in the Gulf War, the losses can be as high as 1,000-2,000 sorties.

Therefore, although Saddam Hussein expected the United States to carry out a large-scale air strike against him, he still believed: "It is impossible for air power to decide a ground war, this is a law that has been proven by all conventional wars and wars of liberation, and the last one proved is the Vietnam War." ”

"The struggle for Baghdad will ultimately depend on the fighting between soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets and soldiers in the trenches, and we are more experienced in such battles. "The Americans will pay at least 10000 people".

This air defense system is precisely where Saddam's confidence lies.

But backwardness limited Saddam's imagination.

At this time, the United States already had a super electronic warfare capability. In the face of the electronic offensive of the Americans, the Iraqis were vulnerable, and their vaunted air defense system was paralyzed overnight. The multinational forces successfully seized air supremacy after seizing electromagnetic supremacy. The war went from confrontation between the two sides to a completely passive beating for the Iraqis.

From the perspective of the combat system, electronic warfare is one of the links, to be precise, it is a part of the struggle for the initiative, and it should be noted that electronic countermeasures can also be understood from the perspective of reconnaissance, deception, and attack in plane combat. It's exactly the same, for example, it is possible to feint to create a posture to deceive and mobilize the enemy.

As mentioned earlier, the initiative is actually the right to space and the right to time, and the two are completely combined, and the electromagnetic right is both the right to space and the right to time. The Americans' enormous superiority in this regard determines that they can obtain absolute freedom of electromagnetic space and time. Although the Gulf War showed only a minimal reduction in the losses of the multinational forces, the essence was that once the two powers of electromagnetic space and time were mastered, the local war led by the Americans could be declared to be over. This is because, after mastering the two powers of electromagnetism, the Americans have the ability to destroy the land, sea, air, and space strikes that follow in an instant. No way, modern weapons are already too advanced, and the lethal power is too terrifying. Then, in fact, that means that if modern warfare is defeated in the first wave of information warfare and electromagnetic warfare, it is very likely that it will completely lose the operational initiative, even if there are other weapons and equipment that are powerful on paper.

In addition, according to my analysis, the multinational force should have a super-top-secret plan. The success of this plan led to the defeat of the Iraqi army, which quickly collapsed and the huge army was quickly crushed after the start of the war. It is to lobby and bribe the senior officers of the Iraqi army, by proving to them that the US military is powerful and invincible and giving them a lot of benefits, so that they will collectively remove themselves before the war, and as soon as the war starts, they simply leave the army and disband their subordinates.

Using about 30,000 ground troops, the U.S. military captured all Iraqi cities, including Baghdad, in just about a month, at the cost of only 139 killed and 123 accidentally killed. Achieving such a large result with such a small loss is extremely rare in the entire history of human warfare, and it has also greatly shocked many countries. ”

The commander stopped explaining.

In fact, the U.S. military archives that were declassified a few years later show that Iraq's strongest elite had been almost infiltrated by the U.S. military long before the war began. Senior Republican Guard generals met privately and signed an agreement in which a large number of generals agreed to surrender and not resist immediately after the American attack. At that time, the US military intelligence department also wantonly planted internal ghosts in the top echelons of the Iraqi army, and Saddam's defense minister at that time had already been bribed by the US military. Therefore, the US military is well aware of any operational deployment of Saddam's army. Not only was the Minister of Defense bribed by the US military, but even his cronies, the "leader of the anti-US armed forces," Ibrahim, was bribed by the US military, and in the end, he led the US troops to capture Saddam Hussein in a cave in Tikrit.

Not only that, some of the Iraqi people at that time were bewitched by the American idea of democracy and freedom, believing that the US military would bring them freedom and democracy, and when the US military occupied Baghdad, the citizens actually crowded the streets and held colorful flags to welcome the arrival of the US troops, and after Saddam Hussein was executed, the Iraqi people were full of joy, singing and dancing on the streets to celebrate, and they even pushed the bronze statue of Saddam Hussein standing on the square. Not long after the fall of Saddam, because of the lack of a strong unified government, Iraq was once again plunged into civil war, and the long-awaited democratic and free American army did not bring it to them, but brought endless artillery fire and strife!

But the arrogant Americans casually disbanded the remnants of the Iraqi army and intelligence agencies and did not arrange them well. This led directly to the fact that these people who had nowhere to go launched a decade-long guerrilla war against the US military.

The U.S. military fired the Iraqis with little regard for what would happen to them, effectively cutting them off from the road, and the Iraqis, who had almost nothing, were forced to take up arms and continue the duties they had failed to perform in previous wars, waging a long-term guerrilla war with the U.S. military. According to statistics, in guerrilla warfare, nearly 5,000 US troops were killed, more than 4,000 were killed in accidents, and many were seriously wounded.

That's all for later.

Now, 13 years have passed, and on the day of Saddam's death, an Iraqi girl cried and complained: I don't understand why those people helped the US military lead the way to arrest Saddam? Not to mention the life I was looking forward to, life is not as good as it was in Saddam's time.

The commander explained very incisively, and the juniors suddenly opened up. Can it be understood in this way? From Mahan's theory of sea power, to Du Hei's theory of air supremacy, and then to electronic warfare and information warfare at present, there are several stages in the development and evolution of the level of warfare from low to high levels.

Here, combined with the latest developments in physics and the advanced nature of my philosophical thoughts, the younger generation dares to predict!

From the perspective of the shield, shielding (battlefield jamming, information warfare), reflection (inducing it to return to attack the emission source in reverse), blocking (for example, for weapons of mass destruction, nuclear, after the technical conditions are reached, the key components in the nucleus can be changed or self-detonated by the principle of quantum entanglement, so as to prevent the occurrence of nuclear fission and chain reaction). 。 ）”

I threw bricks and led the jade, and imagined the sea and the sky.

"Hahaha, the future is terrifying! Your contradictory development plan is somewhat in line with our ancestor Mozi's theory of attack and defense! Advanced weapons are the pursuit of our military and always put in the first place. ”

Commander Wei was also full of longing.

"However, in the final analysis, the advancement of weapons depends on the painstaking and talented efforts of scientists, generation after generation! However, the conditions and level of scientific research depend on the enhancement of our comprehensive national strength!

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to rely on the correct guidance of the party and the people of the whole country to unite as one, reform and innovation, courage and wisdom, and do it!

As for us, please rest assured! We, the soldiers, must be vigilant at all times! We must work hard to kill the enemy, and now, we must also diligently train our high-tech equipment skills and advanced and advanced military concepts! We must resolutely ensure that if the party and the people need us, we must be able to fight and win when we are called! We will continue to write the eternal glory of our army with wisdom and courage!

The commander was loud.

"Hahaha! I'm completely relieved. Xiaowei, with you in the prime of life in the army, the old man can tease his grandson, plant flowers and grass, and release the horse in Nanshan!"

Daddy couldn't help but say overjoyed.

"By the way, Uncle Wei, the younger generation is also a military fan and a military enthusiast. The humble did not dare to forget the country. I remember Lu You's words, which are my heart's voice.

The zombie and lonely village does not mourn, and Shang Si is the national military wheel.

Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse and the glacier fell into a dream.

So, I would like to ask you, veteran of a hundred battles, to tell us about the battle in which you personally participated, okay?"

Through the explanation of these war histories and the description of the commander's mental journey, I can correct the deviation of my own military assumptions and rapidly improve my ability to study and judge the battlefield and make quick decisions in dealing with emergencies.

Now, there is an old-timer who has experienced actual combat here, and if you don't hurry up to ask for advice on the spot, when will you wait?

"Hahaha, this kid is quite interested! Yes, be prepared for danger in times of peace! Old chief, then, I'll talk about it?"

The commander looked at Daddy respectfully.

"Hahaha, you kid, you are in charge of your territory! ”

"Okay, guys, first of all, let me explain the international situation at the time of the campaign. ”

Commander Wei began to speak in high spirits.

"After World War II, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, began to compete for global hegemony, and in order to suppress each other, the two countries engaged in a long overt and covert struggle. After the 60s of the 20th century, Sino-Soviet relations broke down, and the United States took the opportunity to start wooing China in order to jointly balance the Soviet Union. At that time, the Soviet Union regarded Europe as its strategic focus, but the territory of Asia could not be ignored, so it was desperate to find an agent in Asia. After much deliberation, the Soviet Union finally decided to support Vietnam as an important counterweight to China.

At that time, Vietnam had just won the war with the United States, and its self-confidence was bursting, and it was eager to establish itself as the leader in Southeast Asia. At this time, the Soviet Union extended an olive branch again, and with the support of the Soviet Union, Vietnam was even more carried away, and launched wars to invade Laos and Cambodia one after another. But this did not satisfy him, and then he set his sights on our country, frequently stirring up incidents on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and repeatedly crossing the border to kill our unarmed innocent citizens. At the beginning, our country repeatedly tolerated in the good hope of striving for a peaceful settlement, but Vietnam understood this forbearance as weakness and deception, and intensified it even more, and finally, the Chinese government, which could not bear it anymore, decided to launch a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and on February 17, 1979, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our army launched simultaneous strikes against the Vietnamese army from the two directions of Guangxi (Eastern Front) and Yunnan (Western Front), and the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam officially began.

Well, I had the honor of being the regiment commander and participated in all the battles on the Western Front. ”

Commander Wei said modestly.

"During the entire self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam, many fierce battles broke out between China and Vietnam, and the Battle of Lang Son can definitely be regarded as the most fierce and tragic one, which can be called a meat grinder of war.

Lang Son, Vietnam, is located in the south of Guangxi Province of China, the north of Vietnam, about 18 kilometers from the Sino-Vietnamese border in the north, and 130 kilometers from Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, in the south. To the north of Lang Son is the mountainous region of North Vietnam, which is covered with mountains and jungles, and to the south of Lang Son is the northern plain with rice paddies and a dense network of water. It is run by many roads and railways, leading to the Sino-Vietnamese border in the north and Hanoi in the south. Lang Son is not only a transportation hub in northern Vietnam, but also a barrier gateway to the capital Hanoi, so the strategic location is crucial.

On March 1, 1979, fierce fighting broke out in the Lang Son area.

On the Vietnamese side, Lang Son was guarded by the 3rd Division of the Vietnam People's Army, which was part of the 1st Military Region of Hanoi.

This is a unit that is very good at attacking, and is very capable of fighting close and night battles, and has become famous for its outstanding achievements in the war against the United States, and once won the title of "Hero of the People's Armed Forces".

At the very beginning of the Langshan Campaign, this unit did not take our army seriously from top to bottom, and even made a lot of nonsense: "Fight to the Friendship Pass for breakfast, and go to Nanning to celebrate the Spring Festival!" This arrogance and arrogance can be seen.

But soon, our army used its strength to slap them in the face, and the 55th Army to which I belonged was beaten in the Dong Deng area, and the remaining remnants of the 3rd Division could only retreat in the mountains around Lang Mountain, waiting for reinforcements.

Seeing that the fighting situation was not good, the Vietnamese army urgently dispatched an elite capital defense force from Hanoi to Lang Son to launch a counterattack, and in the battle, the Vietnamese army used chemical weapons in violation of international law in disregard of its integrity. The 55th Army was forced to retreat, and the Chinese rear artillery division was quickly sent to the front line to rescue, and both China and Vietnam suffered heavy casualties.

On 1 March, we mobilized more than 300 artillery pieces to the front line, firing tens of thousands of shells in just 30 minutes. The entire plot has been turned over several times. After the artillery shells were fired, our army began to attack, and the Vietnamese army also urgently transferred artillery units and relied on the built defensive positions to carry out artillery bombardment, and then both sides began to bombard each other with artillery, and for a time thick smoke billowed and covered the sky and the sun.

On March 2, under the cover of artillery, we launched a new attack with tank and armored units. On March 4, the Vietnamese army was attacked by two divisions of our army from the flank, and immediately dispersed, and the People's Liberation Army captured Lang Son, thus the Battle of Lang Son, which shocked China and the rest of the world, came to an end.

As a matter of fact, at that time, the combat situation of our army had gradually developed from the haste and rustiness in the early stage of participating in the war to the calm and skillful in the end, and the various units cooperated tacitly. The strategy was quickly put in place, interspersed with roundabouts, resolute and thorough, infantry and artillery coordination, and the tactics of tank cover were brought into full play.

If we continue to fight, it will be a situation similar to the chief, the lesson-type blow you made to India back then. ”

The commander concluded.

"Our army occupied Lang Son, and further south was Pingchuan. You can wave your army south and capture Hanoi in one fell swoop. However, since the purpose of sending troops to Vietnam is to defend itself and counterattack, there is no need to move forward since the intended objective has been achieved, so as to demonstrate to the international community the attitude of our Government.

On 5 March, my Government declared an end to the war and withdrew all border troops to its territory. Since then, the 55th Army has become famous in the first war, destroying tens of thousands of enemies in the war against Vietnam, becoming the unit that destroys the enemy the most among the army-level units in China's war against Vietnam. ”

"Hahaha, arrogant Vietnamese, Xiaowei! You guys played well! Yo he! The three-legged cat student also dared to argue with his master, and turned against him?

Daddy's face was flushed, as if he had also participated.

"Yes! That battle was a military victory! However, our sacrifice was not small. The eldest nephew of the old sister-in-law, in that battle, was blown off a leg. Otherwise, he who was promoted to platoon commander in the line of fire should be very developed.

Alas!** period, the training and development of our troops have been delayed for too long. Therefore, if you are warlike, you will be in danger, and if you forget to fight, you will die!"

The Commander of the Patriotic State said with emotion.

Look at the history of our country for thousands of years, when Chongwen and Shangwu reached harmony and unity, and when they laughed proudly in the world! The longer peace will last. As for my nephew, and his eldest cousin, the sacrifice and injury are also glorious!

If we don't shed blood as soldiers, do we want our relatives to shed blood? Then, how can we be embarrassed to call ourselves the people's soldiers?"

Dad was also full of emotion.

Outside the window, in the barracks, there was a faint sound of a group of officers and soldiers singing at the end of their training.

Sunset, red glow flies in the west mountains

The soldier shoots the target and returns the battalion to the battalion

The red flower on the chest reflects the rainbow

Pleasant singing was flying all over the sky

Mi suo la mi so

La suo mi dao

ui

Pleasant singing was flying all over the sky
