Chapter 788 - Crooked Strike
All parties thought that their methods were correct, and for a while the argument was blushing, and the posture seemed to continue to quarrel until the result appeared.
Seeing that no one on all sides could convince anyone, Guo Zhuocheng said: "Okay, don't fight anymore." As for the issue of the divisional headquarters of the Vietnamese army at the front, we can put it aside for a moment, and first determine the three targets for attack. The first blow was the ammunition depot in the village next to the Yulong Stream, and the experts were asked to work with Battalion Commander Wang to determine the terrain coordinates, and the experts would formulate a detailed and steady strike plan, taking into full account the special characteristics of the cave. The second target of the attack is the communications station of the Vietnamese army, which is clearly targeted, and it is on the top of a mountain, and its strike plan should be easy to formulate, so I will not say more. The third target is the artillery base on the 207 heights, which is divided into two parts, one part is the artillery regiment command post, and the other part is the artillery on the position. Everyone is busy, hurry up. ”
The impatient officer hurriedly asked, "Advisor Guo, what are you waiting for at that division-level headquarters?" Just because we didn't get a result just now, doesn't that mean our military has lost? Be sure to hit. ”
One expert immediately retorted: "It shouldn't have been fought in the first place." What evidence can you show that this is the division headquarters? I think that's the school. ”
Guo Zhuocheng said: "Fight! Fighting is definitely going to be fought, however, this is a conditional hit. As soon as we confirmed that it was the front command of the Vietnamese army, we fought. ”
People on both sides of the argument almost rolled their eyes. The impatient officer muttered discontentedly, "Isn't this nonsense? If it's that sure, what are we fighting for here? ”
Guo Zhuocheng did not rush to answer his words, but let those who had divided the labor go out before saying: "Don't we still have scouts in Vietnam?" Aren't there still hidden agents? Let them go and reconnoitre. If it is heavily guarded, then it is certain that it is not a place where students and teachers are staying, and it must be an important place.
As for whether it is the enemy's division commander or the front-line command, it does not matter, as long as it is an important target, as long as it is worthy of our attack. If it's like a normal construction site, and our people can go in casually, with lax or no guard, then we give up. This requires the cooperation of the intelligence services. I think it's just to check if it's heavily guarded, and it shouldn't be very difficult. ”
An officer in charge of intelligence gathering said: "There are our people there. However, this is our intelligence officer who is very deep, and whether or not to use him requires orders from the relevant departments at a higher level. ”
Guo Shucheng said: "Then use it." If you are worried about exposure, you will return home after the bombing effect has been evaluated. ”
Since the tension between China and Vietnam, both China and Vietnam have sent intelligence officers to each other, especially in the border areas, and they live among the locals in various capacities, no different from others, and they do not always collect intelligence, and some do not even have to risk their missions for the rest of their lives.
If you can really eliminate the enemy division commander, not to mention withdrawing a single lurking person, it is okay to sacrifice a few agents, because everyone has no opinion on Guo Zhuocheng's construction.
It's not that Guo's method is good and rigorous, it's just a compromise. Guo Zhuocheng's purpose is not to eliminate the commander of the Vietnamese army, as long as he hits important people or important places on the other side.
What they didn't know was that Guo Zhuocheng's decision was really wrong, and the bombing not only almost wiped out the Vietnamese army's division headquarters, but also bombarded a higher-ranking officer who had come to inspect and guide the work and a senior Soviet adviser to mince meat, making the Vietnamese army's top brass angry and frightened at the same time.
However, Guo Zhuocheng and the others did not know that the results of the battle were so great at that time, and the intelligence officer who activated them did not know, he only knew that it was the headquarters of the Vietnamese army that was blown up.
The Chinese side did not know about this until Vietnam launched a large-scale arrest campaign to arrest Jian, which unearthed a large number of "Vietnamese Jian", and many suspected officers and officials defected to Chinese mainland or Hong Kong in panic.
It turned out that the high-ranking official and senior Soviet adviser who died unjustly were special envoys secretly sent by the Vietnamese head, and their purpose was to evaluate the use of Soviet weapons against the squadron and to assess the combat effectiveness of the squadron. Not only did the local Zhengfu and other troops not know about their coming, but even few people in the Vietnamese Zhongyang leadership group did not know about it. How could it be possible that such an extremely secret operation was discovered by the Chinese side and killed by the other side, if it was not for the leakage of internal secrets? Not to mention that the command is also secret, it has only been established for a long time, using a school that has not been repaired, even the locals cannot know what is in it, and everyone thinks that there is an inner jian to provide intelligence to China at their top, so the Chinese used cruise missiles that have not yet been equipped with troops to launch this strike.
Guo also did not know that China's cruise missiles would take the stage with such a brilliant decapitation operation.
It is a pity that the results of this targeted bombing operation did not achieve the real goal of Guo Shucheng and others, that is, it did not stop the Vietnamese army's attack on Chinese positions. On the contrary, because China's cruise missiles killed the Soviet Union's senior adviser, in order to show Vietnam's loyalty to the Soviet Union and to avenge this senior adviser, the Vietnamese side launched a larger-scale attack than originally planned, and the scale of the "Battle of Songmaoling" in this life was much larger than the "Battle of Songmaoling" in the previous life.
It's just that because of the hasty action of the Vietnamese army, because of the loss of weapons and ammunition, their revenge action seems a bit anticlimactic, under the strict defense of the squadron, they worked in vain and suffered heavy casualties, and it didn't take long for the flag to die down, and the battle of Songmaoling ended with the complete victory of the squadron again. Since then, the Sino-Vietnamese border has been completely peaceful, there is no longer such a long battle as in the previous life, and the soldiers in this life do not have to stay in the small, wet cat's ear hole to suffer, and there is no longer any sacrifice.
High-ranking officials in Vietnam came to say that the attack was purely for the Soviets, saying that they had tried their best, but they really could not defeat China. After the collapse of the Soviet Union for many years, Vietnam, which had no backers, could not wait to loosen its olive branch to China and seek the normalization of Vietnamese-Chinese relations.
Of course, this is an afterthought, and it will be many years before the peace of the border really appears.
In the Battle of Songmaoling in this life, Division Commander Liao and his troops fought not easily, and compared with the Battle of Songmaoling in the previous life, it was no better.
There are three reasons why the battle is fierce: First, the Jingrui Division that participated in the battle in this life was withdrawn from Cambodia to deal with the first squadron, and the strength of the troops was strengthened. In order to avenge their "beloved" chiefs and friendly people in the Soviet Union, they fought and rushed almost regardless of sacrifice, especially in the regiment where the division commander started, all the officers were the descendants of the division commander, and these officers were full of anger at the sudden and tragic death of the division commander, and naturally vented themselves during the battle, urging the already strong soldiers to risk their lives to charge.
Second, the weapons of the Vietnamese army in this life are much better than in the previous life. Although the weapons stored in the Yulongjian were blown up by cruise missiles, before they were blown up, some of the weapons had already been distributed below, and the combat effectiveness was still much stronger than in the previous life.
Another point is that the top level of the Vietnamese army has been chilled after being bombed by cruise missiles, and has already decided in their hearts that they can't defeat China, let alone engage in a long-term war with China, and even hiding in the rear can be bombed by the squadron at will, so where is it safe? Where can you beat each other? Therefore, the battle of Songmaoling in this life is a battle in which the Vietnamese high-level has done their best, and whether it can be won or not is a matter of whether it can be won. If they win, they will hold the recaptured positions and will no longer attack and will not let the Chinese fight arbitrarily. If it fails, then from now on it will no longer provoke China's giant.
It was precisely because they had made up their minds to fight the last battle with China, and in order to pretend to be pitiful in front of the Soviet masters, that they not only strengthened the strength of the attacking troops, but also gave the officers and men of the front line the order to die.
Feeling the fierceness of the battle and feeling that the position was almost shaken by the Vietnamese army, Commander Liao, as the direct commander, was very grateful to Guo Zhuocheng and others. In his mind, if it had not been for the cruise missile bombardment of the Vietnamese army in advance, it was difficult to say whether their division would have been able to hold its position, and if it was really broken through by the Vietnamese army and lost its position, then his division commander Liao would not only not be able to make meritorious contributions, but might also be tried by a military court.
He and the other lieutenant officers did not know that if it had not been for this cruise missile strike, if it had not angered the Vietnamese high-level, and if it had not been for the loss of Soviet advisers, they would not have been attacked so fiercely at all, and their positions would not have been so risky.
For the gratitude of Division Commander Liao and other officers, Guo Zhuocheng felt that he was ashamed of it, but he just thought so in his heart and did not say it.
Without further ado, to get back to the point, when Guo Zhuocheng identified three and a half targets, the experts quickly acted to draw up the operation route of the missile, and then handed it over to the computer for calculation according to the relevant terrain and landform.
The focus was on the ammunition depot at the Yulongjian River, because there was a canyon in front of the cave entrance, which made it quite difficult for the cruise missiles to strike, and the experts had to carefully design the flight path so that they would not crash into the mountain and die.
A total of 16 Blu-ray cruise missiles were tested this time, which were installed on 16 special trucks. Compared with the missile launch vehicles of the previous life, the current missile launch vehicles are much simpler, and the missile launch vehicles of the previous life are generally quadruple or two-packed, and it is rare for a car to be equipped with only one missile as it is now.
