Chapter 102: Soviet Advisors

Liang Son, an important industrial town in northern Vietnam, a transportation center and a strategic place, this place is an endless mountain jungle to the north, and a flat river to the south leads to Hanoi, so Liang Son is known as the north gate of Hanoi.

Because of this, the Vietnamese ruling authorities attached great importance to the defense of Liangshan, before the war, the Vietnamese army not only repaired the fortifications left by the French and Japanese, but also relied on the mountains and highlands in the north to build a large number of fortifications, not only that, when the first team broke through the defense line in the north and approached the city of Liangshan, the Vietnamese army high-level also transferred the elite third division of the Vietnamese army to Liangshan to strengthen the defense. After careful arrangement, the entire Liangshan City can be described as an iron bucket, with this, the Vietnamese ruling authorities are even more clamoring to the outside world, the Chinese ** will inevitably meet under the Liangshan City, let alone three months, even if you want to take Liangshan City for three years!

The politicians of the Vietnamese ruling authorities and the official tongue and throat have to put on a posture of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, and the stinky duck's beak has to be hard, which is called to boost morale and motivate the people, compared with the Vietnamese soldiers who are deep in the front line, but they are actually much more, and after many days of hard fighting, the Vietnamese people gradually realize that the combat effectiveness of the squadron is not as unbearable and low as the ruling authorities say, but in some aspects it is much stronger than the Vietnamese army.

Although this point of view is not recognized by everyone in Vietnam, it has become the consensus of the Vietnamese military circles, and among them, Hu Yuanzhi, the commander of the 3rd Division, the Vietnamese ace unit responsible for the defense of Liangshan City, can be regarded as the one who feels the deepest feeling of the combat effectiveness of the squadron in the Vietnamese army, because he has just experienced a painful defeat.

Just yesterday morning, several strategic commanding heights in the north of Liangshan City were captured by the squadron, if the squadron has a firm foothold in these highlands and sets up artillery observation posts, then their artillery firepower will directly cover the entire Liangshan City, and at that time, only God knows whether the entire Liangshan City can be defended.

For this reason, he immediately organized troops to launch a counterattack, trying to take advantage of the fact that the squadron was not firmly established, and drove them out from these strategic commanding heights, but after nearly a day and night of fierce fighting, his third division not only did not recapture these important heights, but suffered heavy losses of its own, and even one of the main regiments was almost surrounded by the squadron to send reinforcements to make dumplings.

At this time, Hu Yuanzhi, who had palpitations, was holding the table with his hand, staring at the map on the table with a solemn face, just like an old monk who had settled down, standing there quietly, thinking about the so-called countermeasures, at this moment, a staff officer knocked on his door, which made him come back to his senses from his contemplation:

"What's the matter?"

"Soviet adviser, Colonel Sokolovsky asks to see you immediately!"

Hearing this name, Hu Yuanzhi showed a long-lost joy, this Colonel Sokolovsky claimed to be a tactical expert in the Soviet army, who had served as a military adviser in the armies of many Soviet Union states and achieved remarkable results.

When the Sino-Vietnamese War broke out, the Soviet Union immediately fulfilled the so-called Soviet-Vietnamese Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance, and while giving Vietnam a large amount of weapons and equipment, it also dispatched a high-level Soviet military advisory group in Vietnam to Vietnam, and Colonel Sokolovsky was also ordered to be transferred from the Soviet Union cluster in East Germany to the military advisory group, and was assigned to the Third Division in Liangshan as the division's military adviser.

Hu Yuanzhi had already read Sokolovsky's information, so he had high expectations for his arrival, but after all, he was a military adviser sent here by the Soviet big brother to help, and no matter what, he couldn't refute the face of the Soviet big brother, so after listening to the words of the staff officer, Hu Yuanzhi nodded:

"I'm waiting for you in the conference room, division commander, your coat is not on!" Hu Yuanzhi didn't wait for the staff officer to finish speaking, he ran impatiently towards the conference room of the division headquarters, while the staff officer behind him took his coat, and then trotted all the way over

In the conference room of the division headquarters of the Third Division of the Vietnamese Army, a Soviet colonel officer who looked to be about thirty years old and of medium stature was sitting on a bench in the conference room, his white cheeks could not see any expression, and his cold face was like a layer of Siberian ice and snow, which made people feel a cold chill at a glance, if there was still a trace of warmth in his face, it was that the blue eyes revealed that little residual warmth!

"Hello, Comrade Sokolovsky, I am Hu Yuanzhi, commander of the 3rd Division of the Vietnamese People's Army!" After Hu Yuanzhi finished speaking, the interpreter standing beside him began to repeat what he had just said to Sokolovsky in Russian, but when the interpreter spoke, Sokolovsky stood up and replied in fluent Vietnamese:

"Hello, Comrade Division Commander!"

"Do you speak Vietnamese?" Hu Yuanzhi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Sokolovsky speak Vietnamese so fluently, but Sokolovsky just nodded slightly:

"The Soviet government attaches great importance to the allies, so learning the language of the allies is also one of the essential subjects of our advisory group!"

"The big brother of the Soviet Union is the big brother of the Soviet Union, and he cares about us little brothers all the time!" After listening to Sokolovsky's words, Hu Yuanzhi gave a thumbs up and praised Sokolovsky with a flattering smile on his face.

But Sokolovsky didn't seem to hear anything, the face with obvious Slavic national characteristics seemed to have been frozen by the ice and snow of the Arctic, and he couldn't see any expression, which made Hu Yuanzhi, who was standing opposite him, very embarrassed, but Sokolovsky turned a blind eye to Hu Yuanzhi's embarrassment, but said coldly:

"Comrade Division Commander, can I talk to you alone?"

Listening to Sokolovsky's words, Hu Yuanzhi was stunned at first, but then he waved his hand, and the interpreter standing behind him understood, and soon went out, and then closed the door of the conference room with his backhand.

"On the way here, I have studied the recent battle situation and found that your army is still very lacking in the organization of the campaign, whether it is offensive or defensive, it seems to be out of order, and it is easy for the Chinese to exploit loopholes, resulting in the defeat of the entire battle situation!"

"No rules?" Listening to Sokolovsky's evaluation, Hu Yuanzhi, who was originally smiling, couldn't help but sink his face: "Comrade Sokolovsky, I think you have just arrived, and you don't understand the situation yet, the squadron is greatly ahead of us in terms of light weapons, and the infantry detachment has almost no dead ends in the long, medium and near firepower coverage, and our infantry suffers a lot in terms of firepower."

"I have to say that the development of the squadron in light weapons has indeed exceeded our expectations!" When it came to the topic, Sokolovsky's originally cold face showed a trace of warmth, but the serious and rigorous energy offset the only warmth without a trace:

"But this does not mean that the overall strength of the Chinese team has been substantially improved"

"What do you mean" Sokolovsky's words, Hu Yuanzhi seemed to hear some extraneous sounds, and the interrupted Sokolovsky twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, but the expression on his face was still cold and abnormal, but the faint light in the azure eyes staring at Hu Yuanzhi revealed his slight dissatisfaction, but he did not accuse it, but continued:

"We, the Soviet military advisory group, unanimously agreed that it is necessary to strengthen the artillery configuration of your army, with the intention of neutralizing the superiority of the squadron in light weapons, which is a conclusion based on the victorious experience of our country in the Great Patriotic War, after all, any advanced light weapons will be shattered in the roar of the god of war!"

"Strengthen the artillery, offset the superiority of the squadron's light weapons?" Listening to Sokolovsky's words, Hu Yuanzhi frowned slightly:

"Comrade Sokolovsky, the combat ideas of the Chinese on the other side are also inherited from the big brother of the Soviet Union, and they also attach great importance to the application and configuration of artillery, I think your method is afraid"

"The squadron does attach great importance to artillery construction, but" As he spoke, Sokolovsky's face showed a long-lost smile, but when this smile hung on his cold face, it looked particularly cold: "But their artillery is all antiques from more than ten years ago, not only is the technology backward, but the rate of fire and range cannot be compared with our Soviet long-range artillery!"

"Long-range artillery? Have you promised to assist the 2S7 203mm long-range artillery?" After hearing the words long-range artillery in Sokolovsky's mouth, Hu Yuanzhi's face also flashed a little excited, but he was disappointed in the blink of an eye, because Sokolovsky shook his head ruthlessly:

"To deal with the crowd tactics of the squadron like locusts, the 2s7 type 203mm long-range artillery does not have an advantage in the rate of fire at all, relying on the 2a36 type 152mm cannon and the БМ-21 type 122mm rocket launcher such a high rate of fire and a large coverage area of the artillery is the best choice!"

Sokolovsky said, took out a piece of document paper from the briefcase next to him, and slowly pushed it from the table to Hu Yuanzhi:

"Not only that, but we also brought insecticides specifically to deal with locusts, and when the hail mixed with hyacinths hits these locusts, what do you think the effect will be?"

Hu Yuanzhi lowered his head and just hurriedly glanced at the words of the document on the table, and his face suddenly turned pale, and at this time, Sokolovsky showed a brilliant smile on his face, like a long-lost sun in winter, but even so, his smile did not make people feel a little warmth, but endless coldness and horror
