Chapter 776: Preparing for War

With truckloads of weapons brought from the Soviet Union into the border areas, the confidence of the Vietnamese officers and men has indeed improved a lot, especially those new artillery, T72 tanks that have not simplified their functions, and bright rocket artillery、......, which have given them some confidence to compete with the Chinese border guards.

As for the towns and villages that have not been restored to their original atmosphere for more than a year, and the civilians who are still full of fear, worry and resentment, they have turned a blind eye.

In order to avenge the defeat and to regain the initiative in the defense of the border terrain, the Vietnamese military top brass has been secretly planning to launch a large-scale campaign in an attempt to regain the commanding heights in the hands of the squadron. To this end, they quietly replaced many demoralized troops stationed on the border line with "heroic divisions" that won all battles in Cambodia.

Hiding in the grass and in the crevices of the rocks, the Vietnamese soldiers who came back from the Cambodian battlefield just now gritted their teeth with hatred: because it was the territory of Vietnam.

In 979, when the squadron withdrew its troops on its own initiative, it did not return all the land of Vietnam, but sent troops to station on the important peaks and ridges along the border line that originally belonged to Vietnam.

Although these places are inaccessible, the terrain is dangerous, and standing there can overlook the deep area on both sides, and defending this place is equivalent to ensuring the safety of your own territory. On the contrary, if it is occupied by an opponent, it cannot attack the opponent itself, and your own territory is always under the watchful eye of the opponent.

In the previous life, China and Vietnam fought here, each invested countless manpower and material resources, and both sides sacrificed a lot of soldiers, but because the squadron took the initiative to occupy it first, and the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the squadron has sufficient weapons and tenacious combat effectiveness, although the Vietnamese army has poured all its strength, it still did not take back these places in the end. It was not until the normalization of Sino-Vietnamese relations ten years later that the two sides negotiated a settlement. Even so, China has not completely returned all its territory.

Of course, China has also paid a lot in the battles that have taken place here, and many soldiers have been accompanied by insects and snakes and diseases in the small and wet cat's ear holes, living an inhuman life, all supported by will. However, the squadron carried out rotational warfare, that is, each military region took turns to send troops to participate in the battle, which not only made the Vietnamese cry for their fathers and mothers, but also greatly tempered the troops and increased the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The situation in this life is different from the previous life, first of all, the squadron fought more beautifully and ruthlessly than in the previous life in the war in 979, and the facilities of Vietnam were also more completely damaged, and the psychological trauma to the Vietnamese people was much greater than in the previous life. On the other hand, the Soviet Union also gave Vietnam much more weapons aid than in previous lives, perhaps because the Soviets were too strong to show themselves in China, and the pressure on them on the battlefield in Afghanistan was too great, in order to create a little more trouble for China, in order to let China consume more vitality on the Sino-Vietnamese border, so in this life the Soviet Union greatly increased military aid to Vietnam, and many weapons were the latest, and they were shipped to Vietnam by ship as soon as they came out of the factory. Just like the T72 tank, which was previously exported to foreign countries as an export version with simplified functions, is now used by Vietnam's own army in exactly the same way.

In a mountain village not far from the Jade Dragon Stream, heavily armed Vietnamese soldiers were on strict guard all around, and the people in the village were all fierce soldiers. On the road were large trucks of Soviet aid, which were full of troops and food. They came here through countless deep mountains and old forests by the seaside and entered this village with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. After unloading the goods, the empty trucks quickly left the village and headed for the port.

Because of the war, there are few villagers left in the village. A few old men and women who were not in good health sat under a big tree at the head of the village, watching the trucks come and go with blank and cloudy eyes, their faces full of sorrow.

Carrying a truck carrying ammunition into the village, an old man pushed the old man next to him and said, "Well, there is another war." This is the same as when we fought American devils, but at that time, the delivery was Chinese, and the goods in the car were Chinese. Now the Soviets are not coming, but the goods inside are all Soviet. ”

The old man who was pushed looked back from the back of the truck, sighed, and said, "yes." The relationship between this country and the country is really difficult to fathom, and it changes faster than the relationship between two children. In the past, China was as good as our brothers, and they would give us whatever we wanted, but in the blink of an eye, they would come and beat us. The United States and China are enemies, but now that they have Chinese taken refuge in the United States, it is really ......, and these Chinese should be fought. We were left with a few old fellows in our village, and the others were either killed on the battlefield or scared away by their artillery fire. Fortunately, the cave was large, otherwise it would have been unimaginable to ....... ”

The old man looked around timidly, and when he saw that no soldiers were paying attention to them, he said, "Who knows who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing." You and I both fought French devils and American devils with the Chinese, how good were people to us at that time? If you don't have anything to eat, you should save it and give it to us. We had no weapons, and they didn't have enough of them, so they took them from the hands of the soldiers of the unit and gave them to us. If we hadn't offended them so hard, how could they have beaten us like this? Moreover, they beat us and then retreated, and did not want to occupy our place as much as the Americans and the French. Now we have so many Soviet weapons, but can we beat them? ”

The old man snorted coldly and said, "They Chinese may not have any good intentions. At that time, they supported us, didn't they support North Korea, fearing that the Americans would attack them after occupying their neighboring countries? In my own way, they help us entirely for their own sake. They don't occupy our land because they can't! Didn't you listen to the radio? The Soviet Union said that if the Chinese did not immediately withdraw their troops from our Vietnam, the Soviet Union's million armored troops would be killed in northern China. They were afraid and did not dare not withdraw. ......, but I'm also worried about whether we can beat them, even if we have the best weapons, we may not be the opponent of others. I heard that they have become richer in recent years, and some of them have fought with us with ammunition, grain and grass, and I am worried about ......, hey, don't talk about it, I hope we can defeat them. ”

An old lady next to her nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's time to teach the Chinese a lesson." They beat us so badly. My family is the only one left to die, why didn't I get killed......"

While the old man and the old lady were chatting, several senior officers of the Vietnamese army were walking in the drying field, while some soldiers were unloading the goods, and at the same time, some soldiers were transporting these goods to the cave behind the village in box trucks.

A tall and lanky officer looked at the mountain of troops and said dissatisfiedly, "This speed is not good." It's been a few days, and the equipment has still not been delivered, and if we don't get all of it by tomorrow night, it will delay us in sending them down, and then it may affect our plan of action. If my estimate is correct, the higher authorities will definitely approve our revised counterattack plan. ”

A short and stocky officer next to him hurriedly said, "Division commander, this speed can't be faster." The main thing is that the mountain road is not easy to walk, there are not a few sections of the road from the port to us that are good, many places have not had time to repair well after being blown up by the squadron, the road is full of potholes, and the vehicle cannot go fast at all. ......, if we don't, we will let some of the vehicles be transported directly to the grassroots troops, so that although it is more difficult to manage, perhaps the speed of cargo transportation will be much faster. ”

The tall and thin division commander said categorically: "No! A qiΔ“ are given as requested. Today we are so casual, and the troops below are not even more casual? In the event that Chinese agents infiltrate here, just fire a rocket at this place from the top of the hill, and our trucks and supplies will be completely destroyed. We have so much strength to protect all the mountain roads, this is the biggest reliance of the ** team in our division's attack, if something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it, and it's not enough to cut off your head. ”

The short and fat officer hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the division commander is right. I must urge them to hurry up and carry them all into the cave within the specified time. These Chinese agents are overwhelmed. ”

An officer on the right side said: "This is still good, if some kind of special combat team from China comes, the situation will be even worse." That army was very powerful when I heard that it was elusive. ”

The tall and thin division commander sneered: "How can there be a truly elusive army in the world?" There are still some people who are afraid of taking responsibility and deliberately blow it out. As he spoke, he said to the officer on his right, "Commander Hu, the safety of the ammunition depot will be handed over to you." Although this is the rear, you and your brothers should not take it lightly. Chinese agents are pervasive, slippery, and don't let them get into the way. The success or failure of this campaign has a great deal to do with whether or not you can guarantee the safety of the place and whether you can deliver weapons and equipment to the front-line soldiers in a timely manner. If there is a problem because of the Chinese agents, I will not be merciful at that time, and I will definitely deal with you severely according to military law. ”

The regiment commander on the right hurriedly straightened up and said, "Don't worry, division commander, we will definitely complete the task." Make sure not a single mouse slips in. Not to mention that the Chinese agents are coming, even if the Chinese troops are coming, the Chinese planes are coming, and I dare to guarantee that they will not return. The weapon in my hand is not vegetarian. ”
