Chapter 104: Artillery Tactics
"Comrade Sokolovsky, your suggestion is very effective, I salute you for this glass of wine!" At 10 o'clock in the evening, in the cadre activity club in the center of Liangshan City, Vietnamese party, government, and military officials at all levels stationed in Liangshan gathered together, staggered and smiling, and with the joy of victory, Hu Yuanzhi raised a glass full of fine wine to Sokolovsky, a military adviser stationed in the Third Division.
During the day today, Hu Yuanzhi accepted Sokolovsky's suggestion and organized a Soviet-made D-30 122mm artillery group with a certain type of special ammunition provided by the Soviet Union to launch a rapid fire attack on several commanding heights occupied by the squadron.
After receiving the news of the victory in recovering several strategic commanding heights in the northern part of Liangshan, the Vietnamese ruling authorities and the military top level immediately sent a congratulatory telegram to the Third Division stationed in Liangshan, and telegraphed the whole army to commend them, and various promotions and material rewards also rolled in; not only that, Vietnam's official media published articles overnight, all kinds of Chinese were hit on the head and bleeding under Liangshan City, the Chinese had lost their offensive capability, and the squadron had been effectively killed.
But in any case, such a huge victory made Hu Yuanzhi, the commander of the Liangshan front, very excited, so as soon as the battle was over, he couldn't wait to order a celebration party at the cadre activity club in the center of the city in the evening.
Of course, among the invitees, the most dazzling was the military adviser of the 3rd Division of the Soviet People's Army in Vietnam, Colonel Sokolovsky, and it was his effective advice that led to today's victory during the day.
At this time, Sokolovsky's face, which was like a layer of cold cream, also showed a faint smile, and then raised the wine in his hand and touched the glass with Hu Yuanzhi very chic:
"For victory, Ulla~"
Listening to Sokolovsky's words, Hu Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, but then he grinned and laughed, and his voice improved a lot, so that it spread to every corner of the entire club:
"For the sake of victory, Ula~" After speaking, Hu Yuanzhi raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, and other Vietnamese officials in the club listened to Hu Yuanzhi's words, and also raised the wine in their hands, and for a while, the sound of "Ula~" in the entire club was non-stop
Sokolovsky did not show any excitement for this deliberate flattery of the Vietnamese, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly upward, and then he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and at this time, Hu Yuanzhi pulled a chair and sat next to Sokolovsky, his face was not as happy and happy as before, but with a hint of worry, he said to Sokolovsky:
"Comrade Sokolovsky, the special ammunition you brought over is less than three bases, and the offensive during the day today will be completely exhausted, if the Chinese fight again"
Hu Yuanzhi's words were not finished, but Sokolovsky could understand it, and a pair of azure eyes gently glanced at Hu Yuanzhi's slightly sad face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Is this group of Vietnamese really monkeys? I still don't understand such a simple truth, although I think so in my heart, Sokolovsky's inconvenient face for ten thousand years makes no one can see the fluctuation in his heart:
"Comrade division commander, what is the nature of this ammunition, I think you know better than me, in such a key local battle, perhaps with the Chinese's consistent tolerant character, a condemnation may be over, but if it is to be used on a large scale, I think you also know that China is also a nuclear state"
Sokolovsky's words were also not finished, and Hu Yuanzhi was of course even clearer in his heart, so when Sokolovsky's words just fell, Hu Yuanzhi's face couldn't help but change twice, and then said worriedly:
"Since this is the case, then the squadron that has suffered a loss must retaliate, today our D-30 type 122mm howitzer position has leaked, should we withdraw from the position first?"
"No need to withdraw from the position!" As soon as Sokolovsky blurted out these words, Hu Yuanzhi beside him looked at him in surprise, Sokolovsky sighed slightly in his heart when he saw this, the Vietnamese may have excellent skills in guerrilla warfare, but when it comes to large-scale regularization warfare, these Vietnamese instantly return to their preschool age.
A senior military cadre at the division and regimental level of the Vietnamese army did not even understand such a simple truth, no wonder they would be beaten to the ground by the Chinese, but even if Sokolovsky greatly despised Hu Yuanzhi's ignorance in his heart, as a military adviser, Sokolovsky patiently explained:
"Today we used the D-30 122mm howitzer for firepower, and the Chinese's artillery reaction speed is also very fast, but have you found that the firepower of their counterattack is also 122mm howitzers, although there are also a small number of 152mm howitzers, but it is obvious that the number is very small and scattered, what does this mean?"
Hu Yuanzhi looked at Sokolovsky's fair face and shook his head in confusion, and Sokolovsky seemed to know Hu Yuanzhi for a long time, and after he shook his head, he pry the corners of his mouth and continued:
"This shows that the Chinese are accumulating strength and preparing to launch a general attack on Liangshan!"
"Total attack?" As soon as Sokolovsky's words fell, Hu Yuanzhi's face turned pale, and even his tone became a little sharp under anxiety:
"Comrade Sokolovsky, if the Chinese launch a general attack, how should we respond!"
"If the Chinese launch a general attack, then the most critical thing in this battle is not the charge and defense of the infantry, but the confrontation of artillery, to put it bluntly, an important combat experience in the Great Patriotic War of our Soviet Union - counter-battery operations!"
As he spoke, Sokolovsky raised the glass beside him, which had been filled with fine wine by the waiter, took two sips, and then continued:
"If the squadron launches a general attack, it will inevitably use a powerful artillery group to provide fire cover, but their so-called Type 66 152mm plus howitzer and Type 54 122mm howitzer cannot be compared with the new artillery we provide you in terms of range and mobility.
And these artillery will use intensive fire to attack the fire points and troop concentration areas on the defensive line at the beginning, if so, then we can also roughly find out the location of these artillery groups, but these are not the most critical, the most important thing is the long-range artillery force used by the squadron to conduct counter-battery operations.
Our use of special ammunition to attack today will inevitably cause the wrath of the squadron, and our artillery positions will be their primary target, and the Chinese commander who has lost his mind will definitely first use the Type 59 130mm cannon, which has a range advantage of about 27 kilometers, to first pull out the 122mm artillery group we use to launch special ammunition.
As long as their long-range artillery group fires, you can use the ballistic angle to determine their position, you must know that the 2A36 152mm cannon provided to you is the latest large-caliber cannon developed by our country, whether it is range or power, it is not comparable to any type of artillery in China."
"I said that in today's attack, why the cannon group never fired, it turned out to be for"
Looking at Hu Yuanzhi's shocked expression, Sokolovsky's face once again showed that cold and chilling smile:
"There is an old saying in China, called the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, as long as we pull out China's long-range artillery, and then with the range advantage of the 152mm cannon, knock out their 152 and 122 artillery groups, the squadron that loses artillery cover is a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and then use the 122mm rocket artillery to cover their troop assembly area, forming a double or three-layer Xu Jin barrage, not to mention withstanding the attack of the squadron, it is not a problem to beat them back to the border line!"
"Our 122mm cannon is a cicada, their 130mm cannon is a praying mantis, and we have a 152mm cannon as a yellow finch"
"No, no!" Without waiting for Hu Yuanzhi to finish speaking, Sokolovsky hurriedly waved his hand and corrected: "Our 122mm howitzers are very mobile, as long as their target shells fall, we can calmly withdraw from the position!"
"So, the artillery group of the squadron is the cicada?"
"So to speak!" Sokolovsky nodded, the smile on his face became even colder, and Hu Yuanzhi on the side laughed even more excitedly, and then raised the wine glass in his hand, and then collided with Sokolovsky's wine glass with a crisp and pleasant clinking sound
At the same time, two kilometers behind the original position of the Independent Artillery Regiment, nearly 100 soldiers of the Independent Artillery Regiment waved their shovels and pickaxes on a relatively flat slope to build a new position.
"Comrade Jiadong, if it weren't for your bottom platoon grenade armament troops, our regiment would definitely not have come up with such a calm and effective counter-battery tactic!"
"No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment are, they must be used by competent people to receive results, the commanders and fighters of the Independent Artillery Regiment have really unique tactical choices this time, and we are really inferior to you in this regard!"
Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Qian Aimin couldn't help but shake his head: "Comrade Jiadong, you are so modest, this is not said by one person, even our regiment commander often talks about it!"
Listening to Qian Aimin's words, Lu Jiadong just smiled, Qian Aimin knew that there was no point in talking about this issue, so he looked at the starry sky in the south, and his face became resolute:
"The order of the former finger is really good, the artillery also has to fight bayonets, these Vietnamese monkeys are really not man-made, they dare to use that kind of thing with a few rotten cannons, and they will have to smash him to pieces tomorrow!"
After listening to Qian Aimin's words, Lu Jiadong subconsciously raised his arm, and the watch hand on his wrist showed that it was 9:15 p.m., less than 12 hours before the total attack time
