"Report to the chief, the cruise missile launch work is all ready, please instruct!" Luo Xi, the captain of the missile development team, strode in and shouted with a stern expression, but there was a hint of imperceptible excitement in his eyes.

……

Hearing that the four missiles flew out of the border along the border, everyone not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became even more nervous. Because from now on, the missiles will fly completely autonomously, and no one will even be in their flight state. Only the machines are still receiving the radio signals they emit.

Qian Xuesen glanced at the sky in the distance, and then turned his head to Guo Shucheng.

Seeing Guo Shucheng smiling, he said loudly to Luo Xi: "The second round of missiles has begun to be fired!" ”

With Luo Xi's order, the second batch of blue light missiles quickly came out of the hair barrel almost simultaneously. Although the number of missiles is small, and the sound of the missiles fired is not as earth-shattering as that of the group artillery, the scene is equally spectacular, especially the scene of the missiles rising and falling, which is very thrilling, and the officers and men in charge of the jingjie and the people watching the battle are enthusiastic.

Only those experts in charge of the CAO column and the soldiers who studied the CAO did not have time to appreciate it, they were all engrossed in the CAO work, observing, and remembering, and the noise around them and the huge roar caused by the missile explosion were oblivious.

These technologically advanced and expensive missiles flew swiftly toward their targets with the expectations of Chinese scientists and Chinese people.

……

While China's cruise missiles were being launched, a small welcoming ceremony was being held at the school, which had been temporarily converted into a division headquarters, to welcome the top military and Soviet advisers from Hanoi.

Because of secrecy, the division commander of the Vietnamese army and his subordinates just stood respectfully in front of the newly built three-story building, and did not go to the gate to greet them.

A total of three cars came from the senior leaders, and the guard vehicle and the leading vehicle stopped after reaching the campus gate, and only three cars drove straight to the front of the building.

When the car came, the division commander of the Vietnamese army hurriedly trotted forward, opened the car door for the head from the Ministry of National Defense, and immediately stood up and saluted after the other party got off the station and stabilized. Unlike China, Vietnam's Ministry of National Defense is both the office of Vietnam's Zhongyang Military Commission and the highest military administrative organ of the Vietnamese military, and its officials are extremely powerful.

The deputy division commander hurriedly opened the door for the Soviet adviser who was sitting in the second car, and also saluted solemnly.

This was the first time that the Vietnamese division commander had seen such a high-level leader since he was promoted to division commander, and he was very restrained in his heart, shaking the leader's hand with a smile on his face, and then hugging the Soviet advisers.

However, he was obviously very unfamiliar with this hug, and his steps were a little hesitant. The Soviet adviser was generous, smiling and opening his arms.

At this time, a communications staff officer quickly and panicked ran over and said loudly: "Report to the division commander!" When the soldiers in front of me went to China, a few shells came over......"

The division commander was stunned for a moment, then glared at this guy, and wanted to scold, but seeing that the chief was here, he had to forcibly hold back, and just said, "What are you panicking about?" Isn't it just a few shells? Got it! ”

The senior leader and the entourage behind him all frowned, feeling that this little staff officer was really making a fuss: China and Vietnam were still in a state of hostility, and the gunfire and artillery on the border had hardly stopped. Just a few shells can be reported to the company-level cadres and battalion-level cadres of the border troops, and can they be reported to the division commander? And knowing that there are superior leaders, especially Soviet advisers, are inspecting, this is not a discredit to our Vietnamese army? This guy is really stupid to get home.

The leaders of the Ministry of National Defense even thought in their hearts: "Doesn't this mean that the management ability of this division commander is not good?" It's hard to even manage the staff officers around him, can he be qualified for such an important position as the division commander? ”

The Soviet adviser listened to the translation of the translator next to him, and was also very unhappy with this little staff officer, and then turned his sarcastic gaze on the division commander.

From the ridicule in the eyes of the Soviet advisers to the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, the division commander was extremely frightened in his heart, and he even scolded the eighteenth generation of the staff officer who caused trouble.

However, this staff officer did not seem to offend the consciousness of his immediate superior, and said: "Division commander, those shells seem to be ......"

Before the words fell, the division commander said angrily: "Enough! Get lost! After speaking, he hurriedly opened his arms, hugged the Soviet adviser in his arms, and said with a smile on his face, "Welcome Soviet comrades!" ”

After the little staff officer was scolded, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he was about to say it, but he was pulled aside by the deputy division commander.

The deputy division commander said with a tiger face: "What are you doing?" Don't you know that this is a special time? You're also a veteran, how can a few shells scare you like this? You, you, are sweating all over your face. ……”

The staff officer hurriedly said: "Deputy division commander, I know that the situation is special. However, these Chinese shells are very strange, just like airplanes, they can rise and fall, they can fly horizontally and fly low-altitude skimming the ground, like missiles but not like missiles, and they are flying in the direction of our city. ”

At this time, the Vietnamese soldiers had not yet seen cruise missiles, but only saw anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles aided by the Soviet Union, the former only rushed upwards after the development of the aircraft, although they could also change direction according to the change of the position of the aircraft, but the maneuvering xing was not good, let alone flying at low altitude close to the ground.

At this time, the anti-tank missiles introduced by Vietnam were wire-controlled, and the CAO personnel changed the direction of the missiles, and it was also impossible to maneuver.

Although the Vietnamese army does not recognize what a Chinese cruise missile is, they know that it is not an anti-aircraft missile or an anti-tank missile.

The deputy division commander was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be a Chinese drone?" The Americans have used drones to reconnoiter us before, have they found out that we are going to attack them in the near future? ”

Thinking of this, the deputy division commander was also anxious, not only forgiving this seemingly reckless staff officer, but also urgently thinking about how to inform the division commander without alarming the chief.

In fact, the Blu-ray cruise missile at this time was very close to here.

The missile's small turbofan engine spewed a faint blue-squirt flame, and the enormous thrust it produced raised the missile's speed to subsonic. Although the missile launch position is nearly a hundred kilometers away from here, it only takes six or seven minutes to reach here. Moreover, by the time the Vietnamese army arrived at them, they had already flown half the distance inside China, and the flight time was less than three minutes less than fifty kilometers inside Vietnam.
