Chapter 653: Variables

The military situation is like a mountain, and the military order is like fire

In the evening, after the relevant orders of the General Staff Department were transmitted to the front line of southern Xinjiang through encrypted radio waves, Wu Tianming, commander of the composite brigade deployed in the first-line area of the Sino-Vietnamese border, immediately convened an operational meeting to complete the preparations for the start of the war

"How's it going, is the mission clear?"

Gu Zelin was two months ago to follow the north!!ah!!!Beijing garrison south of the Xinjiang rotation combat troops, arrived at the Sino-Vietnamese border, in the army ~~ committee to adjust the front-line troops, the formation of a composite brigade, Gu Zelin commanded the reconnaissance brigade was reorganized into a reconnaissance company, the company commander is still Gu Zelin as the responsible for infiltrating and reconnaissance of the Vietnamese defense line in the prison mountain area, now he is no longer the ignorant recruit egg, but a thoughtful, calm and resolute young commander:

"Report to the brigade commander, it's all clear!"

"Repeat!"

"Use two to three days to cover the artillery observation post to reach the predetermined position!"

Gu Zelin stretched his body straight, answered sonorously and forcefully, and was even more confident between his words, Wu Tianming, who was standing opposite, nodded slightly, which was regarded as a sign of satisfaction, but then his expression was dazed, and he said undoubtedly:

"One more! bring the target designator with you!"

"Eye-to-eye target designation device?" Gu Zelin was a little puzzled, this new term, he had heard of it for the first time, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What target designation device?"

"It's the three big boxes you brought someone to accept this afternoon!"

"Isn't it munitions?

"I said, how have you been a scout in the past few years? If it's ordinary ammunition, I can ask your reconnaissance company to receive it, and I can just ask the logistics department to get it? Secret, do you understand, what is secrecy!"

Gu Zelin is a soldier brought up by Wu Tianming, so he speaks more casually than ordinary people, but casual does not mean not strict, when Gu Zelin does not figure out some things, Wu Tianming will still take out the old company commander's style and teach him a hard lesson, just like now, before Gu Zelin finished speaking, Wu Tianming reprimanded with a sinking face

If Gu Zelin didn't have a smart mind and a keen eye, how could he become the commander of the reconnaissance company of the synthetic brigade at a young age, so he knew the importance of the three boxes carried in the afternoon early on, and because of this, he was very curious to let the reconnaissance company carry it,

The secrecy work is now done rigorously, and it is necessary to ensure what kind of important thing is it in the box behind the enemy, so Gu Zelin deliberately pretended to be stupid in front of the old company commander, just to know what this so-called target designation device is, so Gu Zelin scratched his head with a smirk:

"So that's the case, no wonder it's as expensive as the unearthed cultural relics, and it's not allowed to be knocked over, and it's not allowed to be touched, and such things have to go into the mountains, to be honest, I think it's a little difficult!"

"There are difficulties to overcome, this is a 'killer' eye, so you have to protect them like your eyes!"

"'Killer' eyes?" Gu Zelin paused for a moment, and then the smirk on his face gradually became intriguing: "Brigade commander, can you reveal what kind of 'killer weapon' it is?"

"! you kid is still him~~ Mom and Lao Tzu pretended to be stupid, you know enough, go back and arrange it immediately, and prepare to carry out the task!"

"Yes!"

Gu Zelin didn't expect that his careful thoughts would still be seen by Wu Tianming, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned, but he still straightened his body, straightened up, turned around and pushed the door away, and Wu Tianming just glanced at Gu Zelin's back as he left, and then turned his gaze back to the accurate military map on the desktop, the red and blue pencils kept spinning in his hands,

The next moment, he suddenly stopped, and then leaned down, ready to mark an offensive line on the map, but at the moment when the pencil in his hand was about to fall, Wu Tianming stopped, and then the two thick eyebrows wrinkled tightly, and I don't know how long it was, only to hear the "click" sound, Wu Tianming threw the pencil in his hand on the table, and his person sat on the bench behind him, smoked a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, then scolded in annoyance:

"The Vietnamese monkey of the turtle son is really raised by a bitch, and he really learned the essence of ~~Gan~~ Ling!"

It is very rare to make Wu Tianming scold out of "turtle~~er~~son" and "dog~~mother~~raising", even if it was the tragic war in 79, it did not let Wu Tianming scold a few words, but since he returned to the Sino-Vietnamese border, "turtle~~er~~son" and "dog~~mother~~raising" have almost become his mantra, for no other reason, it is really very difficult for the Vietnamese army on the front line of Gaoshan.

Since the Battle of Phaka Hill and the artillery battle at Hung Son, Vietnam has readjusted the Vietnamese troops on the front line of Hung Son, not only transferring all the elite Vietnamese troops stationed in Cambodia to the north, but also fully absorbing the lessons and lessons of several border battles and re-strengthening and readjusting the original fortifications of Hang Son.

In particular, after Lieutenant General Vu Li, who was known as the "shadow of China" and called himself the commander of the North Vietnam Army, not only formulated several sets of countermeasures for the strategy and tactics of the Chinese army, but also, as a China expert, fully applied the successful experience of the Chinese army in the Battle of Shangganling in Korea to the defense of the Prison Mountain position.

To this end, under his command, the Vietnamese army built a large number of tunnels on the anticline of several major highlands in the Diao Son, and at the same time set up many light and dark fire points with the tunnels as the core, and the open space in front of the position was densely arranged with bamboo sticks, mines, trenches and barbed wire.

Permanent fortifications and semi-permanent fortifications are arranged alternately, with proper light and darkness, forming a dense crossfire network, as for the protective performance, the permanent fortifications needless to say, reinforced concrete plus armor steel plate protection, even semi-permanent fortifications are strong and abnormal, first erect the frame,

Then on the shelf steel plate, a horizontal layer, a vertical layer, and then a horizontal layer on the top of the three rows of bowl-thick logs, are the hard logs of the southern primeval forest, hard as iron, not afraid of fire, extremely strong resistance to blows, and basically semi-underground bunker bunkers, the angle of fire is very low, as long as the machine gun is mounted, it is a human meat harvester.

In addition, the entire prison mountain has been marked by the artillery units of the Vietnamese army to shoot Zhu Yuan, and there are almost no dead ends in the forward position, so the Vietnamese army only needs to garrison a small number of troops on the prison mountain, and it can rely on strong artillery support to hold the prison mountain steadily, even if the Chinese army has 155 mm howitzers and portable bazookas equipped with thermobaric bombs, it cannot conquer the prison mountain in one fell swoop.

Because the Vietnamese's "Hurricane" rocket artillery is deployed at a depth of 40 kilometers from the front line of Gaoshan, the Chinese army can only be deployed at a distance of 20 kilometers from the front line due to the terrain and firing boundary problems, and the distance between the two is 60 kilometers, which is far beyond the maximum range of 155 mm plus howitzers;

The same is true for the infantry equipped with thermobaric bombs and portable rocket launchers, because of the mysterious whereabouts of the defenders, coupled with the fact that the various fortifications are not connected to each other, they often struggle to defeat a bunker, but they are attacked by the fire of several adjacent fortifications, and at the same time, with the strikes of the Vietnamese artillery and the counter-assault of the reserves, the attacking troops are often beaten down by the Vietnamese army before they reach the halfway point of the mountain, and it is precisely for this reason that the offensive battle two months ago finally failed.

In the face of such a difficult opponent, Wu Tianming was also at a loss, because the Vietnamese army on the opposite side was like a roundworm in the stomach of the Chinese army, not only knowing what he had, but also knowing what he wanted to do

"The key is to change, but will this change be so easy?"

At this time, Wu Tianming remembered what Guo Qingshan said at noon, and Commander Guo said at the front of the combat meeting, and couldn't help muttering to himself, but his eyebrows wrinkled more and more tightly, until he drew a Sichuan character at the center of his eyebrows, and he agreed with Commander Guo's change of word, because he knew that as long as he changed it slightly, the Vietnamese army on the opposite side would not be able to stand it;

However, this change is not easy to say, not to mention that the traditions of the army over the past few years and the classic tactics and tactics that have been summed up over a long period of time have long been deeply rooted in the body and mind; even if Commander Guo really brought in the so-called "killer weapon"? The troops have not even done basic training, and there is no running-in at all, let alone coordination.

Just as Gu Zelin just asked, what exactly is the so-called "killer weapon"? To be honest, until now, even he, as a brigade commander, still has no idea what this "killer weapon" is, and how can he have the confidence to talk about any new tactics? Thinking of this, Wu Tianming couldn't help but sigh deeply:

"Alas~~~ It seems that it is still not so easy to change, in this case, we still have to think of other ways" So Wu Tianming picked up the red and blue pencils on the table again, ready to continue thinking about offensive tactics, and at this moment, a loud voice broke through the air and entered the brigade headquarters:

"If you change, if you change, if you change, I don't know if it changes because you haven't figured it out! Such a simple truth, you still can't understand it, Brigadier Wu?"

Hearing this, Wu Tianming was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his head, and when he saw the visitor, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face:

"I thought it was who, I really didn't expect it to be you Lu Weijun, Senior Staff Officer Lu, come in quickly, I remember that you were not in the general staff of the military region? Why were you also transferred to the front line?"

Wu Tianming saw that it was Lu Weijun, so he walked over enthusiastically, and while talking, he pulled his arm and went into the house, but Lu Weijun did not go in with Wu Tianming, but blocked Wu Tianming from pulling his hand, and said helplessly:

"I'm not a staff officer now, I'm demoted!"

"Who dares to demote you to the rank of army chief of staff?"

"Commander Guo, fortunately, he is the commander of an artillery battalion, otherwise I really don't know how to cry!"

"From the main regiment to the main camp?" Wu Tianming was slightly surprised, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Because there's a variable!"

"Who?"

"Me!"

With a firm voice, a young man with a slight smile followed him and pushed the door in, Wu Tianming couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the person coming, and then shouted in a lost voice:

"Jia Dong" (to be continued.) )
