In this life, perhaps because the military is much stronger and the national strength is much stronger, the squadron does not care much about the verbal protests of Vietnam and the Soviet Union, or perhaps because the Zhongyang bigwigs are affected by the psychology of these "selfish people" such as Guo Zhuocheng, so that when the army retreats back to China, it does not honestly return to the country, but stops near the border line, occupies the hills on the strategically important riding seams, and stations troops and lookouts on them. It saved the procedure of sending troops to attack the mountain peak in the previous life, saved a lot of weapons and ammunition, and avoided the sacrifice of many soldiers.

According to Guo Zhuocheng's comprehensive analysis, he came to the conclusion that the Vietnamese army would gather troops and strong generals to launch a campaign to regain the cavalry stitches, and now the information collected by the scouts shows that the Vietnamese army is ready to move. Although this time is two and a half years earlier than in history, the world shape shì is different from the previous life, and it is entirely possible to launch it in advance.

Guo Zhuocheng believed that the Vietnamese army would attack, but he did not know when the Vietnamese army would attack, maybe a month, maybe half a year, maybe a year later, and then launch it when it was fully prepared. It may also be launched in a week or 10 days.

As long as one's prediction is wrong, it is a trivial matter to have a bad impact on one's reputation, and if there are bad consequences arising from this, such as leading a large number of Chinese officers and soldiers to suffer a large number of casualties or even lose their positions, it will be a big trouble.

Moreover, he also knew that if he said that the Vietnamese army would attack immediately, Commander Ning, Division Commander Liao and others would definitely not be worried, but happy, and happy that they would have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Their strength inevitably turned to war, and the idea of testing cruise missiles with Qian Lao and himself was no longer as urgent as it is now. Even because of the heavy task of preparing for war, they are likely to propose to their superiors to suspend the testing of cruise missiles so as not to affect the preparation for war.

In addition, after learning that the Vietnamese army was going to attack, Commander Ning, Division Commander Liao, and others immediately came up with an unspeakable reason to oppose the cruise missile test: they were anxious to make meritorious service and worried that the strike of cruise missiles would make the Vietnamese army afraid and dare not fight against the squadron again. Although these servicemen do not know how powerful cruise missiles really are, they certainly have the ability to startle snakes. If the Vietnamese army is allowed to die down, then who will they look for meritorious service? You can't really rush into the interior of Vietnam and fight vigorously before being rotated, and no leader will agree to it. It is fine to make a fuss in the border areas, but if you go deep into the interior of Vietnam, it will trigger a large-scale war between the two countries, and even provoke the Soviet Union, and then it will disrupt the country's plan to fully transfer to economic construction.

In light of these circumstances, there is a great possibility that the test of the cruise missile will be postponed, and it is even possible that the plan to test the cruise missile in the region will be cancelled. At the request of Commander Ning and others, the higher-ups probably ordered them to transfer the cruise missiles to other places for testing.

Obviously, neither the interruption of tests nor the temporary relocation of places is very detrimental to the development and refinement of cruise missiles.

It can be said that now Guo Zhuocheng will deduce the conclusion that the Vietnamese army is preparing to attack - it is not good to say, and it is not good not to say it, once the Vietnamese army really sneaks up, he still has the responsibility that he cannot shirk.

He said in his heart: "How can we make the cruise missiles launch on time according to the plan of action, without paralyzing the army?" How can we prevent the leaders of the army from complaining about me and depriving them of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

Guo Zhuocheng thought for a while, and finally told the truth.

He said: "I think the Vietnamese army will definitely launch an attack, and the scale is not small, at least above the division level, and the target is the important places such as the Fa Shi Mountain where you are stationed." If they have the cooperation of other friendly and neighboring troops to attack in many places on the border line, the pressure on you in Fazhi Mountain will be very great, and it is really impossible to prevent as Commander Liao said. ”

In fact, what Division Commander Liao said about being invincible meant that the Vietnamese army dispatched Jingrui troops to disturb the border areas, but Guo Zhuocheng still borrowed his words.

A regiment leader sneered: "Consultant Guo, you can judge this conclusion based on this little bit of information?" Then you are too godly? Do you know that if we draw up a battle plan according to your conclusion, if the enemy does not attack, we will suffer great losses. Not to mention wasting huge manpower and material resources, we will be ridiculed by our comrades-in-arms and ridiculed by the enemy troops in Vietnam, saying that if they move troops at will in the country, we will become frightened birds. ”

Another middle-aged officer also smiled: "Nainai drop, I can't wait for them to come." The more they come, the better, Lao Tzu killed them a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, hehe. However, little comrade, is there any basis for what you say? ”

Division Commander Liao also did not agree with Guo Shucheng's inference very much, after all, the number of a division of the Vietnamese army had only appeared, and it was difficult to say whether people had come to change their guards, and besides, they were still a short distance from the border, and their final destination was still a mystery. How can we conclude that they will come to attack our positions?

Because of his identity and the fact that he also felt that Commander Ning attached importance to this young man, it was difficult for Senior Commander Liao to say it directly if he had something in his heart, but when his subordinates spoke, he did not stop him, because he also wanted to hear Guo Shucheng's explanation. After all, once this judgment is adopted by the superiors, his division will have to make heavy adjustments and will have to go all out to meet the battle.

Commander Ning first glared at Commander Liao, obviously criticizing him for not restraining his subordinates, and then said angrily: "Quiet! Do you look like soldiers? So noisy and noisy, thinking this is a vegetable market? ”

The officers froze in surprise, puzzled by Commander Ning's defense of a young technician.

After Commander Ning ordered some middle-level and low-ranking officers to go out, he humbly asked, "Professor Guo, do you also think that the Vietnamese army will launch a large-scale attack?" Trying to recapture a couple of heights we occupy? ”

Guo Zhuocheng nodded and said, "Because the importance of these highlands is too strong. You're a military commander, and you certainly know their value better than I do. But if I were to explain why, why the Vietnamese army was launching now, I can't say. ”

Commander Ning nodded and said, "I think there are several reasons besides the importance of these highland locations. He did not pretentiously, nor did he conceal or flaunt, but said seriously, "First, the Vietnamese army received support from the Soviet Union with new weapons. There are not only the original T72 tanks, but also Soviet rocket artillery and the latest large-caliber artillery. Compared with the weapons originally used by the Vietnamese army, it can be said that they have been updated. This gave the Vietnamese army full self-confidence and felt that it would not be difficult to take our positions face to face, and that if they adopted the method of sneak attack, they would have a greater certainty.

Second, if the intelligence collected by our scouts is not wrong, then this unit is the Jingrui troops who returned from Cambodia, these morale is high, they have all gone through the baptism of the Cambodian battlefield, and almost all the officers at all levels in this unit have fought fiercely with the US ** team. As for these Vietnamese troops who have successfully invaded other countries and have defeated the US army, they are not convinced that we have defeated their country. When they came, we in China were using the strength of the whole country to compete with a small number of local troops in Vietnam, and most of them went to Cambodia, and we were invincible. What's more, they are still enjoying the glory of defeating the French ** team and the US ** team, so they naturally want to take the opportunity to teach our squadron a lesson and let the world know how powerful the Vietnamese army is.

Third, although the terrain in these places we occupy is high and far away, it is also impossible to place many troops on them because of the influence of the topography; if there are too many troops, the density will be very large, and the heavy artillery bombardment will affect morale and heavy casualties, but will reduce the strength of defense. They believed that as long as we adopted the method of sneak attack, we would definitely be able to take us by surprise by using heavy troops. Once they succeed, they will be able to further promote the invincibility of their army and take the strategic initiative. ”

After listening to Commander Ning's words, Guo Zhuocheng had to nod in admiration, and in just one sentence, he explained the reason for Vietnam's mobilization of troops thoroughly, and also explained the tactics of the Vietnamese army attacking Fazhi Mountain in the previous life.

What Guo Zhuocheng had in his previous life was almost exactly the same as what Commander Ning said, except that there was no Soviet aid for new weapons. But he remembered that in his previous life, it was not the commander Liao in front of him who commanded the battle of Songmaoling, nor was it the current unit under Commander Ning.

The battle of Songmaoling was fought by troops from other military regions later, and Commander Ning and his troops had already been ordered to be transferred for a long time.

In the previous life, the defeat of the Vietnamese army was understood by the Chinese side of its strategic intentions, and even the number of troops participating in the battle and the time of the attack were known, I don't know if it was because the Vietnamese army's secrecy was too poor or because the Chinese agents and scouts were too cowy. How did you get such a secret piece of information?

At that time, our army received information that the Vietnamese army would launch an offensive at 5 a.m. on July 2, and our army immediately stepped up preparations and stockpiled ammunition. The 9 artillery group had 25 bases of ammunition ready in the early hours of the morning.

At three o'clock in the morning, the 9 artillery group received an order from the command to disrupt the xingshe fire and hit a Qishe, but the reply from the front said that there was no situation after the shelling. So the commander of the artillery group asked the commander of the infantry regiment in front of the sand: "Assuming that the Vietnamese army attacks at five o'clock in the morning, according to the infantry routine, where should the troops be now?" ”

The regiment commander pointed to the map and said: "In the area of 00 meters north of the Qingshui River, it can only be within 500 meters in front of the position, not outside. ”

The commander of the artillery group immediately made a decision, changed the artillery bombardment point given by the headquarters, and carried out a fierce artillery bombardment of the forward position of Fazhi Mountain, and all the artillery fire was carried out together. The forward position was turned into a sea of fire, and the Vietnamese troops lurking in the dark suffered heavy casualties.

When the Vietnamese army really attacked at five o'clock in the morning, although the squadron suspected that the intelligence was wrong because they did not hear the screams of the Vietnamese army during the bombing and did not find that the Vietnamese army had escaped, so they were a little caught off guard when they carelessly led the Vietnamese army to attack, but they still withstood the crazy attack of the Vietnamese army that was greatly injured and only lost a few small positions.

These small lost positions were later recaptured by reinforcements.

If it weren't for the agents who knew the movements of the Vietnamese army, if it wasn't for the Chinese side who had insight into the tactics of the Vietnamese army, if it wasn't for the Chinese artillery to fire the enemy first, it would be difficult to say who would win and who would lose in the battle of Songmaoling.
