Chapter 294: Attack Order--Finish in one battle
"Jiadong! Look at what these Vietnamese are boasting about their artillery, they are about to fly into the sky!" In the battalion headquarters of the independent artillery battalion, the deputy battalion commander Qian Aimin kept walking back and forth in front of the desk covered with a map, his dark and resolute face was even more gloomy and almost dripping, while Lu Jiadong, who was sitting in front of him, was holding the one that had just been transferred from the headquarters.
The latest published Vietnamese daily newspapers and their Chinese translated summaries as intelligence materials for the independent artillery battalion to refer to do so did contain several columns reporting on the Vietnamese artillery units on the Prison Son front, and it was precisely because of these words touting the Vietnamese army and beautifying the acts of aggression that Qian Aimin, a vicious and enthusiastic soldier, was simply furious, and even his voice was several times higher than before, which shocked the battalion headquarters Weng Weng:
"We haven't taken revenge on them yet, these monkeys actually jumped up first, okay, then wait to knock out these cannons that they have put on the moon one by one, and what ivory can still spit out from the dog's mouth when I see the Vietnamese newspaper!"
"What kind of dog mouth, ivory? Could it be that your old money is hiding some private goods?" As soon as Qian Aimin's voice fell, Lu Weijun, the commander of the independent artillery battalion, opened the tent at the battalion headquarters and walked in quickly with a smile on his face, and Qian Aimin saw Lu Weijun coming in, he didn't pay attention to his jokes at all, and stepped forward with an arrow step, and asked with eager eyes:
"How about the battle meeting of the previous fingers, can we attack in advance?"
Lu Weijun, who had just entered the battalion headquarters, was taken aback, and after reacting, he replied without hesitation:
"The combat policy has not changed, and the orders given to us are the same, still stand by in place!"
"Why are you still on standby?" Listening to Lu Weijun's words, Qian Aimin's original look of hope was replaced by a look of disappointment, and a pair of thick sword eyebrows stood up obliquely, and the whining words that had been accumulated for a long time were vented out in one go through this anger caused by the Vietnamese:
"It's been almost a week since I've been here. If you are on standby here, I see that our cannon pipes are not waiting for rust, and I see that my hands are about to rust to death!"
After listening to Qian Aimin's words, Lu Weijun, who had just drunk the tea, wiped the splash on his lips with his hand. Asked with a smile:
"Old money, is it suffocating?"
"Then you still need to ask?" Qian Aimin replied angrily, and then sat down on the chair opposite Lu Weijun, a pair of sword eyebrows tightened, and then pointed to the folder in Lu Jiadong's hand. The tone of the speech also added a little chagrin to the complaint:
"Lao Lu, if you read this document, it is estimated that you are similar to me, those Vietnamese monkeys raised by bitches, they are about to say that the artillery units in Gaoshan are heavenly soldiers, not only that, but they actually show off the losses on our side as the results of victory, every time I see this, I see the tragic situation when I just arrived here. The sad cry of the eldest sister holding the dead child in her arms echoed involuntarily in my ears, and because of this, I think we should take the initiative to do something instead of blindly waiting here!"
Although Qian Aimin complained, Lu Weijun, as the commander of the independent artillery battalion, not only did not get angry, but showed an intriguing look on his face, Lu Weijun's expression was quickly captured by Lu Jiadong who was sitting next to him, and as soon as Qian Aimin's voice gradually fell, Lu Jiadong asked:
"Lao Lu. Will the operation to destroy the Vietnamese artillery start in a day or two?"
Listening to Lu Jiadong's words, Lu Weijun's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face in an instant, and then he exclaimed in incredible surprise:
"How do you know?"
"Lao Lu. Is what Jia Dong said true?" Lu Weijun's words were already self-evident, and Qian Aimin, who was sitting opposite him, heard this, and the chagrin and disappointment on his dark face were replaced by excitement that could not be concealed in an instant, and he was even more delighted between his words:
"The battle position against Vietnam will start in a day or two?"
"To be precise, it should be more than ten hours later!" Lu Weijun nodded, and then recounted the situation of the combat meeting held in the front finger to Lu Jiadong and Qian Aimin. It turned out that the leaders of the front-line command of the Vietnam operation in Jiushan had long wanted to knock out the Vietnamese artillery on the opposite side, especially the deployment of an independent artillery battalion equipped with a new 52-caliber 155mm heavy gun and an artillery reconnaissance and school-firing radar that can be called an artillery clairvoyant.
It further strengthened the determination of the leaders of the former command to fight a war with Vietnam, and formulated a set of operational plans for the previous commanders to take the initiative to attack in accordance with the existing situation and equipment situation of the enemy and us, with the intention of using our powerful artillery cluster to strike at Vietnam in a wide area, and to use the guidance of artillery radar to completely cut off Vietnam's artillery cluster when it returned fire.
However, before this combat plan could be put into practice, the former commander received a reliable information that a batch of artillery that the Soviet Union had just assisted and could equip three regiments of artillery would be deployed to the artillery units on the front line of the prison mountain, which was not only large in number, but also very advanced in performance, and even included the latest 2A36 152mm cannon that the Soviet Union had just installed, and there were countless related auxiliary ammunition.
Faced with this situation, the front headquarters was in a dilemma: either taking advantage of the fact that this batch of powerful heavy artillery was not in place, it would take the lead in launching an attack according to the original plan and wipe out the existing artillery on the Vietnamese front line in Hung Son.
However, after that, the Vietnamese side, in the face of our army's powerful new artillery and the efficient combat effectiveness shown after being equipped with artillery radar, will it retreat in the face of difficulties, turn this batch of heavy artillery into pieces, and disperse and deploy it on the long Sino-Vietnamese border, so that not only the threat to our side will always exist, but also the difficulty of eliminating it is also very huge, after all, the artillery radar currently equipped with artillery units is only an independent artillery battalion, and in terms of quantity, it is simply not enough to cope with such a long border line!
But if you don't want Vietnam to break this batch of heavy artillery into pieces, you can only suspend the existing battle plan, wait for Vietnam to complete the deployment of this batch of artillery on the front line of Gaoshan, and make dumplings for them together. You must know that the power of this batch of the latest Soviet artillery is not a joke, and its huge combat effectiveness is even trembling at the West, which has been confronted for decades.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that the general command of the front line has always been undecided, how to fight. The serious proposition of how to fight in order to give full play to the greatest combat effectiveness and achieve the greatest results has plagued the hearts of many leaders of the front-line general headquarters. In the case of hesitation, the former commander reported the situation to the General Staff, and the reply of the General Staff was a direct and clear sentence:
"It's all in one battle!"
After receiving this instruction from the General Staff Headquarters, the front command made up its mind that even the artillery units on the Vietnamese front line in Hung Son were a steel plate. It is also necessary to make every effort to dig a few holes out of it, and because of this, the former commander revised the previous battle plan, and during this period, asked all participating units to stand by in place, and strengthened communication between them.
In particular, the exchange of information and intelligence with the independent artillery battalion equipped with the new artillery reconnaissance radar has been greatly strengthened, and a communications battalion has been specially deployed next to the position of the independent artillery battalion so that the various parameters obtained by the radar can be quickly and efficiently sent to other participating units.
In the end, even the front-line command headquarters was moved to the rear of the garrison from the independent artillery battalion, so that accurate information could be obtained at the first time and command efficiency could be improved! That's it. After some preparations, a command system for target reconnaissance and strike operations based on the independent artillery battalion as the core and covering the artillery units of the front line in the prison mountain was initially established!
It was also at this time, according to intelligence, that the Vietnamese artillery units had been deployed and were about to enter the operational state, and after receiving this news, the front commander knew that the time had come to attack, so he immediately convened an operational meeting and decided to wait 24 hours later. That is, at a quarter past three o'clock in the morning on July 6, 1980, an artillery operation was officially launched against Vietnam!
"It can be said that this time the former commander is very determined to fight, and he needs to complete the battle in one battle. While destroying all the Vietnamese artillery units on the front line in the vast tropical jungle, they will also let the Soviet Union, the backer behind them, see that even if they move their families, it will not be enough for the Vietnamese monkeys to scourge!"
"Haha! That's right!" After listening to Lu Weijun's narration and explanation, Qian Aimin couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly and exclaimed excitedly:
"I'll just say that the monkey artillery on the other side is not enough for us to stuff our teeth. Well, now there are three more pieces of big fat meat, and if you don't open your mouth to eat them, you will be blinded by the good intentions of these monkeys!"
"What's the matter? You don't think you're tired of waiting."
"Don't bother! Don't bother! This kind of meat can be met but not sought, no matter how long you wait, you won't be annoyed!" Before Lu Weijun finished speaking, Qian Aimin waved his hand again and again, as if the person who complained and was annoyed because he was on call before was not him Qian Aimin at all, which made Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun who were present laugh again and again.
However, after the laughter, Lu Weijun's eyebrows couldn't help but gradually twist into a pimple, and then turned around and asked puzzledly: "Jiadong, this battle decision has just been made, how did you know?"
After listening to Lu Weijun's words, Qian Aimin also reacted, so he further asked: "Yes, Jiadong! You have been in the camp headquarters with me all day and have not gone anywhere, why don't I know?"
"The reason is very simple!" Looking at Lu Weijun and Qian Aimin's surprised and puzzled expressions, Lu Jiadong showed a faint but mysterious smile on his face, and then held the intelligence summary document in his hand and said slowly:
"The answer lies in these Vietnamese newspapers!"
"In the Vietnamese newspapers?"
"That's right!" Facing Qian Aiming's surprised gaze, Lu Jiadong nodded affirmatively: " Although these Vietnamese daily newspapers have blown their artillery to the sky, they also reveal a message that cannot be ignored, that is, Vietnam's general assembly is about to be held in early July, you must know that in the past year or so, Vietnam has suffered a heavy defeat on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the prestige of the current Vietnamese leader is not as high as before, and the status of other main battle factions is even more precarious, so they urgently need a victory to give them face and support the scene!
Otherwise, Vietnam would not have hyped up the artillery unit in Dang Son at this time, and also distributed a special column for it, it should be said that the Vietnamese top level and the military pinned their hopes of possible victory on this artillery unit, so if I am not wrong, Vietnam is in a hurry to deploy three heavy artillery regiments to the front line of Dang Son before the conference is also for this purpose, so it is said that Vietnam will launch an attack on the 8th at the latest, and instead of letting the Vietnamese take the lead in attacking, it is better for us to seize the opportunity first, so I think in the next two days, we will definitely make a move!”
"I really didn't expect you! Jiadong, you can get so many things from this little newspaper!
"That's not all! Jiadong's analysis can be said to be exactly the same, even the intelligence staff officer of the previous finger may not be able to catch up with Jiadong's ability!" As soon as Qian Aimin's words fell, Lu Weijun looked at Lu Jiadong with admiration, but as he spoke, Lu Weijun's face once again had a trace of doubt, and then asked:
"But, Jiadong, I have also been exposed to information science in the past, and your keen insight into the small and the big, in addition to talent, cannot be seen without many years of experience, but you"
"I have also been studying foreign military equipment materials for a long time, Lao Lu, you also know that almost all the useful techniques on it are Spring and Autumn brushwork, and it is difficult to get the connotation without digging deeply!" Lu Jiadong did not wait for Lu Weijun to finish speaking, and then opened his mouth to explain, and what he said is indeed true, whether it is the 21st century before the crossing, or the present after the crossing, this kind of data research Lu Jiadong has never stopped.
Because of this, after Lu Weijun listened to Lu Jiadong's explanation, he did not doubt his nod, but at this moment, Qian Aimin on the other side said impatiently:
"I said Lao Lu, what kind of skills does Jia Dong have yet? This little thing is not a matter to him at all, but our combat operations are a big thing, so tell me quickly, what is the task assigned to us by the previous command, and which set of tactics is more suitable to apply?"
Qian Aimin's words pulled Lu Weijun back all of a sudden, so he explained in detail the determination and operational deployment of the previous finger, and finally said categorically:
"Therefore, for the tasks assigned by the front commander, it is more appropriate for us to adopt the second set of tactical schemes, and the offensive instructions for combat operations are 'complete in one battle'!" (To be continued.) )
