Chapter 300: Front Command

A team of loads drove over the muddy road next to the tent, half-human tires with yellow mud thrown around, splashing all over the body if they got close, and the people choking on the black exhaust were out of breath. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The front headquarters of the 69th Army Group Army is located in Bajiao Township, and the command post is located in a dense forest, and the tents used by the cadres of the group army are no different from the tents used by ordinary soldiers, especially when there is not even a sign hanging outside the headquarters.

With Bajiao Township and the Vietnamese border in the distance, Friendship Pass on the left and Lang Son on the right, Cao Ping is within easy reach.

Cao Bang City is the capital of Cao Bang Province in Vietnam, as long as the city starts, Hanoi will no longer be in danger, and the capital of the country will be exposed to the front of our army!

In the war four years ago, our army attacked from multiple directions on the Sino-Vietnamese border on the Gaoping line, and the Vietnamese army took advantage of the terrain to build a large number of firepower points in an attempt to defend it to the death. But their tunnel battles are still the church of the flower planter, these firepower points were uprooted by our army one by one, the Vietnamese army took care of one and lost the other, and as a result, our army was interspersed with the back road, and the defenders of Gaoping City collapsed without a fight.

When the two main divisions of the Vietnamese army retreated in a hurry to defend Hanoi, they were surrounded by our troops who moved faster, and were surrounded and annihilated outside the city of Hanoi.

This is the history of Hanoi being attacked by our army for the first time four years ago.

This time, the Vietnamese army can be said to have built a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications outside Gaoping City, and turned the city into a military fortress on the border.

This fort is also the advance base and logistics base for the main mechanical division of the Vietnamese army to attack Guixi, with 60,000 Vietnamese troops and a large number of tanks stationed, especially the supplies supported by the Soviet Union piled up here, enough for the Vietnamese army to launch a large-scale campaign.

The Vietnamese army wanted to rely on Gao Ping City as a front line to attack Guixi.

And for the flower planters, as long as they take the entire northern part of Gaoping City, they will open their arms to our army!

Therefore, the city will also be the site of our army's key bombing, and on the day of the war, the city will be saturated by 100 bombers and 5,000 heavy guns, and withstand the most intensive firepower since the Second World War, and the entire ground buildings will be wiped off the earth, and even rats will not survive.

There was an old general named Tang Hu in the army who coveted the supplies in Gaoping City, believing that the Vietnamese army was just a chicken and a dog, and that there was no need to spend so much ammunition to bomb it, and directly sent tank troops to attack and take Gaoping, which saved ammunition and captured a lot of money, which was the most correct way of fighting.

Chen Xu unceremoniously reprimanded General Tang in front of dozens of senior officers of the group army. Although Chen Xu does not have a military rank, he is the real founder of the 69th Army in the strict sense, and his status is not below the commander Chen Zhuo, not to mention that his Southern Heavy Industry Group is still the parent of the whole army. Therefore, although Tang Humian is at least an official, his rebuke to Chen Xu is only sullen but he can't reply, the army is strictly hierarchical, and the dignity and humility are not measured by age.

Chen Xu told all the senior cadres of the army that it was the most stupid act to exchange the lives of soldiers for the so-called capture, because in Chen Xu's eyes, the mountain of materials in Gaoping City could not even compare to a toe of our soldiers!

All officers and men must form in their minds the concept that any problem that can be solved with large-caliber artillery and bombers should not be used in a petty manner.

Don't pity that little shell money, anyway, it's all paid by the US imperialists, everyone is open to use!

The conflict between Chen Xu and General Tang is just a small episode in discussing the strategic policy, such things happen from time to time, they are all angry generals, and it is possible to roll up their sleeves and fight when they disagree, and they are still comrades-in-arms afterwards, and the brothers have no overnight feuds.

However, the front-line headquarters of the 69 th Army was too far ahead, and some officers advised Chen Zhuo to retreat the headquarters a little further and set up the headquarters in Nanning, because our army's advanced communications system no longer needs the commanders of the group army to take the lead.

However, Chen Zhuo confirmed that it was inconvenient to directly observe the battle situation on the front line by shrinking in the back, and he, like Chen Xu, had to take a helicopter to the Vietnamese army's position every day to directly observe the movements of the Vietnamese army at high altitude with a telescope, and even determined the location of every Vietnamese army's pillbox within a radius of more than 10 kilometers.

On several occasions, the helicopter was shot at by the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side, and the fuselage was shot several times. However, the Vietnamese soldiers who fired were immediately retaliated by rockets from attack helicopters flying nearby.

Chen Xu was not at the headquarters most of the time, but walked around various positions on the front line, obtaining the movements of the Vietnamese army from the front line. Dad is handling all the things in the group army, and he, the deputy director of the war room, only needs to concentrate on planning the battle plan, and there is no need to worry about other logistics affairs.

The place where he is now is called Banwang Village, which is surrounded by mountains and forests, and the scenery is quite beautiful. Walking out of the village not far is the Daqingshan Forest Farm, along a dirt road that can only be used for two people to go in parallel, on both sides are caves and low thorny shrubs, walk slowly for about half an hour to come to the forefront of our army's eastern front position, in the endless hills, passes, canyons, all are trained into a line of sandbags stacked to cover the trench, outside is a circle of barbed wire, and even more outside is a mine array.

These fortifications have been built by our border guards in the past four years to defend against the harassment of the Vietnamese army, and over time, a 150-kilometer-long defense system has been formed, which is simply the Maginot Line on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and any attempt to break through will have to pay a heavy price.

In fact, in the past four years, both sides of the defense line have been peaceful, and when the 69th Army began to assemble near the Friendship Pass, the Vietnamese army realized that the war had reached the point where it was on the verge of breaking out, and the conflicts and frictions between the borders suddenly became frequent.

The Vietnamese army is not sure about the purpose of China's attack, and the Vietnamese military top brass believes that this is a strategic move made by China in response to the Indian side, and it may not really attack.

And this 150-kilometer defense line really confused the Vietnamese army, and they did not think that the Chinese side would give up its geographical advantage to take the initiative to attack. Moreover, the Vietnamese army has arranged dense hidden bunkers like honeycombs in all the caves on the mountain passes on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and the strong fortifications and firepower points cross each other without dead ends, and the Chinese army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties when attacking.

Chen Xu walked slowly in a low trench up the mountain with his hands behind his back, with loose loess under his feet and some unknown grass plants growing at the edges, and pulled up a grass-green camouflage net about two meters high on the side facing the Vietnamese army's position to prevent the movement of our soldiers in the trench from being seen by the opposite side.

A few days ago, Chen Xu was still reading in a warm and quiet library management, and now he actually appeared on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Chen Xu is very adaptable to such changes, he was born with strange feelings for the smell of gunpowder and blood, the more it can arouse his madness.

"Boss! Nod your head and watch out for a black gun from a sniper with a monkey on the other side. Chen Dasan walked beside Chen Xu with his waist hunched, trying to make Chen Xu pay attention to safety.

"In the middle of the night, there are no stars in the sky, and we have no light here, how can the sniper on the opposite side see us, not to mention that there is a camouflage net blocking it, what are you afraid of." Chen Xu didn't think so, he had experienced a lot of life in the rain of bullets, and he was not afraid of bullets coming from the opposite side on the battlefield.

"It's better to keep your head down! We didn't even wear a steel helmet! Chen Dasan cautiously glanced at the Vietnamese army position in the darkness in the distance, although the two armies have not completely torn their faces, but the skirmishes of shooting black guns and mortars occur from time to time, he has not slept well in Banwang Village in the past two days, every time he is sleepy, there will be an inexplicable loud noise outside the village, obviously the two sides are in a tentative firefight.

"Boom!" A fireball exploded on the hillside not far away, and I saw a lot of earth and stones being blown away in the firelight, and I could feel the fine debris flying over thousands of meters away.

The guards behind Chen Xu lay down in the trench almost the moment the mortar shell exploded, holding their heads and not daring to move.

"Don't you know how to hear with your ears! The sound of the cannonballs rubbing against the air was so far away that it was impossible for them to hit us. It's so embarrassing for me to talk like this, people are laughing at us! Chen Xu stepped forward and kicked Chen Dasan and ordered him to get up quickly, and the border guards on duty on the hill were looking at this side with a smile, obviously laughing at Chen Xu and the others for being cowards.

"Grass fucking Vietnamese monkeys!" Chen Dasan climbed up with his helmet, but he still didn't dare to stand up straight, always hunched his back, so that his body was always shrunk in the trench, and he felt unsafe to expose any part of his body.

The whole army has now popularized the military rank system in advance, and Captain Chen Dasan's military rank is already a company-level and deputy battalion-level cadre, and he belongs to the largest officer in this trench.

"Put your hand down, don't salute me, I'll let the Vietnamese sniper on the opposite side see that he thinks I'm an important person and snipe me!" Chen Dasan waved his hand and asked everyone to quickly put down his hand.

"Rest assured, the chief doesn't dare to hit our officers, as long as the other side dares to snipe us, what will be greeted is the blow of heavy artillery, and the sniper will definitely die." A lean soldier with bare arms, a cigarette in his mouth, and a submachine gun in his hand grinned.

Chen Xu walked into the Tibetan soldier cave made from the mountain, and saw seven soldiers lying in the most comfortable posture inside, and the lean young soldiers squeezed in from the side, looking up and down at Chen Xu, who had no military rank, but shiny leather shoes, but the military uniform was exceptionally neat and clean, and asked curiously: "Who are you?" He looks like a veteran, but he doesn't even have a sign on him. ”

"You bastard be polite to the big chief, he is the mastermind of this war, Lao Tzu can only be a guard for a captain, who do you say he is!" Chen Dasan walked up and patted the lean soldier on the head, telling him to pay attention to the humility of the upper and lower levels. (To be continued.) )
