Chapter 371:

In the early morning of April 28, 1984, the sleeping Laoshan and Zhiyin Mountain were quiet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Suddenly, as two signal flares took off, thousands of artillery pieces of various types assembled by the border guards of the Chinese army opened fire at the same time, and hundreds of thousands of shells were violently poured on the Vietnamese positions in Lao Son and Zheyin Mountain with the anger of the Chinese.

The artillery fire was magnificent, and the Vietnamese positions were completely enveloped in a sea of fire, and the Vietnamese soldiers were blown to the ground in their sleep.

One of the self-defense counterattacks against Vietnam -- the Battle of Lao Son.

That's right, the background of this mission is the Battle of Lao Son, Xiao Mubai's camp is the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the enemy is the Vietnamese People's Army.

The battle sequence to which Xiao Mubai belonged was the first battalion and second company of the 118th Regiment of the 40th Division of the 14th Army of the Kunming Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. His identity is the deputy platoon commander of the second company and a non-commissioned officer, but at this time, the PLA does not have a military rank system.

In the barracks of the 4th Infantry Regiment in the small town of Castelnodari in South France, on the same day, the recruits of the third phase of the new barracks bid farewell to the recruits who completed the recruit training in the 05th phase, and the next day as a Sunday, began a week of heavy training.

Xiao Mubai was no exception, Sergeant Paul was not there, he had to train with others.

At 11:41 p.m., after the last mission two weeks ago, Xiao Mubai ushered in a new mission this time. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.

Xiao Mubai fought for the Germans, for the Poles, for the Americans, for the Panamanians, and for the Chinese, but once as a soldier of the 19th Route Army and once as a military commander.

He once fought to the death with the Vietnamese as a U.S. soldier, but he didn't expect that this time it would be the People's Liberation Army, which also fought with the Vietnamese. I have to say that Xiao Mubai and the Vietnamese are on the same page.

When Xiao Mubai just came over, there was a rumbling cannon sound in his ears. The artillery fire was incessant, earth-shattering, and gave rise to a sense of powerlessness, and no one could survive under the cover of this kind of artillery fire.

Xiao Mubai knows not less, the People's Liberation Army won the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and it was not very hard to win. Although the Vietnamese People's Army was also brave and skillful, it was not able to win in the end.

Among them, the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, which was subordinate to the Soviet Red Army, was the nightmare of the Vietnamese People's Army.

At three o'clock in the morning, this time was still the darkest time of the night, and everyone was hiding in the trenches on the position, and Xiao Mubai was no exception.

The artillery was under fire, and Xiao Mubai was thinking about the information about the battle of Laoshan.

The Battle of Lao Son, a battle that took place on the Sino-Vietnamese border in 1984, was an important part of the Sino-Vietnamese War. The two sides of the battle were the Chinese army, a quasi-ally of NATO, and Vietnam, the younger brother of the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact camp.

To be precise, a contest between the Chinese and the Soviets.

The Battle of Laoshan was extremely important in the whole campaign.

Lao Son is located in the west of Chuantou in Malipo County, Yunnan Province, China, with the main peak at an altitude of meters, choking the throat of Ha Giang City in northwest Vietnam to Yunnan Province of China.

Therefore, after the Vietnamese army lost its position in Laoshan, it frequently counterattacked, in a vain attempt to recapture the choke point of Laoshan.

As a result, there were three major counterattacks on April 28, June 12, and July 12, among which, the Battle of Songmaoling on July 12 was the largest divisional and regiment-level attack of the Vietnamese army, and it was also the most tragic battle in the tug-of-war of Laoshan.

And Xiao Mubai's mission this time is the first 4.28 Vietnamese army counterattack.

Starting today, the 40th and 41st Divisions of the 14th Army of the Kunming Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the 31st Division of the 11th Army launched attacks on the Vietnamese troops on the front line of Laoshan and Zheyin Mountain!

The 40th Division occupied the 662.6 heights in 7 minutes, attacked the main peak of Laoshan in 5 hours and 20 minutes, and in the afternoon, the two main battalions advanced in the direction of Chuantou and Dongshan in Baheli, occupying more than 10 heights of the enemy. By May 15, the Bali River Dongshan had been recovered.

After 18 days of bloody fighting, the PLA border guards regained Laoshan and Zheyin Mountain.

This is one of the few pieces of information in the system, and if Xiao Mubai wants to spend these eighteen days of combat career, he must seize every opportunity. Intelligence must not be let go, and it will save his life at a critical moment.

On December 12, 1983, the 40th Division of the 14th Army of the Army officially received the combat mission of recovering Laoshan.

The superiors originally designated Zhang Youxia's 119th Regiment to attack Laoshan, and Liu Yongxin's 118th Regiment to attack Songmaoling and the 662.6 Heights. Later, it was changed to the 118th Regiment attacking Laoshan and the 119th Regiment attacking Songmaoling, and the superiors agreed to the operational deployment.

Xiao Mubai's 118th Regiment is Liu Yongxin's regiment, and the position he is in now is in front of the Laoshan position, and after a while, when the shelling is over, the PLA front will launch an attack on all fronts.

Xiao Mubai will also fight with the squad he belongs to.

However, just before the start of the battle, the command of the 14th Army temporarily changed the operational deployment and changed the interspersed route of the 118th Regiment. Changing orders before the war was undoubtedly a fatal act, but it was actually carried out without anyone stopping it.

Here's the thing.

At the pre-war meeting, the army commander said that in order to take the enemy by surprise and take the enemy by surprise, the interspersed route of the 118th Regiment and the 1st Battalion reported by the division was raised by 400 meters.

The cadres of the divisions, regiments, and battalions were all a little surprised and full of doubts about the temporary change of the interspersed route by the army commanders. So what does raising these 400 meters mean for the interspersed troops?

In fact, there is no road on this interspersed route that was changed by the military commander, and it is in the primeval forest. It is said that there is a hunter's trail, but it has long been difficult to identify, and choosing this interspersed route means that the troops need more time.

This also indicates that the battle did not go well from the beginning, and the change of orders before the battle cast a shadow on the battle.

Xiao Mubai knew this, if nothing else, due to the wrong choice of route interspersed by the troops, coupled with the steep slope of nearly sixty or seventy degrees, the troops advanced slowly and suffered heavy casualties.

The interspersed time given by the military commander to the first battalion of the 118th Regiment was 4 hours, and everyone's scalps tightened.

Why is it tight?

The speed of the experience material for night marching in mountainous jungle terrain is 100 to 150 meters per hour. In the simulated combat training of the first battalion, the speed of the mountains and jungles at night has never exceeded 200 meters per hour.

Counting the attached gun company and the first battalion of the military industrial company, the establishment will reach nearly 600 people, and the full staff will be in place in four hours, which will become an impossible task.

And the consequence of not being able to intersperse it on time is to face dismissal, sentencing, and shooting.

Once the success is complete, a wrong order from the commander will cause a large number of soldiers to suffer battle damage. However, the high-ranking generals will not pay for this, leaving only cold corpses.

For Xiao Mubai, it was impossible to change the order, so he could only try his best to save it. Because the team he belonged to was the first battalion of the 118th Regiment, which suffered heavy casualties.

It's a tall order.
