Chapter 177: Landmines

Thanks to a few book friends for giving me birthday gifts, the soldier deserves it because there are fewer updates during this time! The Soldier will try to update as much as possible, and try to make it possible to add two chapters a day until the end of the book. However, on my birthday, I may only be able to change one chapter, because the soldier is applying for the accounting exam, and this time is actually teaching, reading, and writing at the same time, and the very tragic thing on my birthday is the time of my exam......

Chapter 177: Landmines

"The troops of the Vietnamese army *** tun are easy to deal with!" Looking at the map in front of her, Lin Xue couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "After all, they are not regular troops, and all kinds of equipment can't keep up, and it is difficult for them to quickly reach the destination after the battle starts, but the motorized troops of the Vietnamese army ......."

What Lin Xue said is exactly what I thought in my heart, I know very well that the troops of the Vietnamese army are all veterans who have come down from the battlefield, but because the Vietnamese army is a poor country, the equipment can only give priority to regular troops, so the equipment of troops like the Vietnamese army or guerrillas is very backward, and some of them can't even wear clothes or shoes. On the battlefield, I have seen many Vietnamese soldiers and guerrillas who died barefoot, but their shoes were pinned to their waists. The reason is nothing else, it is that their lives are too hard, so even if they go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, they are reluctant to break their shoes......

From this point of view, the Vietnamese are still very able to endure hardships, which also cultivates their perseverance to a certain extent, but these are not my concerns, I only know that for the current task, the troops of *** Tun can be put aside for the time being, because they may not even have a car, and even the communication with the regular army will have problems, so even if they receive the situation and immediately organize the troops to reinforce the destination, it will take twenty minutes, at that time, I am afraid that we have flown into the sky again.

But the problem lies in the motorized units of the Vietnamese army, another name for motorized units is the rapid mobile units, which can be put into battle within ten minutes once they receive an order to reinforce. This company of motorized troops is nothing, and I believe that with this unit in my hands, it is fully capable of defeating them, but the problem is that if we let them hold back for a few minutes, we are afraid that they will never be able to leave!

"Can you split up a force to stop it?" Commissar Yang asked.

I shook my head and said, "We only have ten helicopters in total, and each helicopter carries eleven fighters, which means that we can only send a maximum of one hundred and ten people for this operation. Such a small number of troops not only had to deal with the two platoons of the Vietnamese army stationed on the high ground, but also had to complete the task of attacking the Vietnamese artillery battalion and blowing up the enemy's artillery artillery...... If you still have to allocate some troops to deal with the motorized troops of the Vietnamese army, I am afraid that something will go wrong because of the lack of troops! ”

"I agree with Camp Commander Cui!" Lin Xue nodded and said: "We must have at least one platoon of troops responsible for occupying the 303 and 217 heights, and the strength of two platoons will be used to raid the Vietnamese artillery positions and blow up the Vietnamese artillery, which no longer has any troops to mobilize." I think...... Can you stop the shooting with artillery fire......"

"Not really!" Political Commissar Yang frowned and replied: "I have been to this place, I know the terrain well, although the actual distance of the Vietnamese army's motorized troops is three miles, but the straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters, this black artillery fire may blow up to your heads!" ”

"Hmm!" As soon as Political Commissar Yang said this, we were all silent, we all knew what it meant when the artillery fire hit our heads, if it was okay before, we who came down from the battlefield more or less knew how to listen to the sound and avoid the shells, but now we are using helicopters to launch surprise attacks on targets, and then the helicopters are all flying at low altitudes, and the armor of the Z-5 is still very thin, and the shells blow up on our heads, smoke and shrapnel fly...... This enemy may not have blown up a few yet, and we are going to blow up a few helicopters.

"Then this situation ......" Lin Xue couldn't help but look at the map on the table in embarrassment, and the battalion headquarters soon fell into silence.

Political Commissar Yang lit a cigarette with his hand, took a few puffs and said: "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to my superiors, let's send a reconnaissance unit to sneak in and block the attack on the road first, covering our surprise attack on the Vietnamese artillery battalion!" ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the more Political Commissar Yang said this, the more unreliable it became, if our army's reconnaissance troops can mix next to the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army and lay an ambush, then what do we need to do? Wouldn't it be enough for the reconnaissance troops to directly take the enemy's artillery battalion?

What's more, if we really fight like this, then it is not a matter of killing all the troops to do it, and let us do it if we grab the credit? Our special reconnaissance brigade has not yet become a performance unit!

Political Commissar Yang thought about it, and perhaps felt that this method was not practical, so he didn't say any more, just sat aside and smoked.

I know what he is thinking, this is the first time that our special reconnaissance team has carried out a mission, and he, the person in charge, also hopes to be able to fight a good battle and give a satisfactory answer to his superiors, but he did not expect to encounter such a hard nail for the first time.

"There are difficulties!" After smoking for a while, Political Commissar Yang seemed to have figured out something, but comforted us and said: "If this task is not difficult, the superiors will not hand it over to our special reconnaissance team!" It doesn't matter, we still have time, the superiors did not stipulate how long we should complete the task, this is the first battle of our special reconnaissance brigade, we must make a good start, so we not only have to complete the task, but also be able to reduce casualties as much as possible! So be sure to come up with a workable plan and a well-thought-out plan! Battalion Commander Cui, you just came back from training, so let's go back and rest for a while, and think about it again! ”

"Where will I be able to sleep at this time?" I replied with a wry smile: "Although the superiors did not stipulate how long it would take us to complete the task, if we completed the task one day late, it would mean that the border guards on the front line would sacrifice one more point, and this is the life of the soldiers forcing us!" ”

As soon as I said this, Commissar Yang was silent, nodded slowly and fell silent.

What will be used to stop this motorized unit of the Vietnamese army? Not too long, just a few minutes. A few minutes is nothing to the average person, but on the battlefield it is enough to make or break a war, especially in a special operation like ours, where every second counts.

However, in these few minutes, we are thinking about it, and we can't come up with a reason. Eventually, I couldn't resist the fatigue of training for days and fell asleep on the table.

"Boom!" A loud bang woke me from my sleep.

The people at the battalion headquarters were also baffled by this explosion, and Political Commissar Yang immediately asked the communication: "What's the situation?" Where did the explosion come from? ”

The correspondent didn't answer, grabbed the microphone and contacted the sentinels standing guard on the periphery, but after a while, he took off his headphones and got up and saluted us: "Report, it was a wild boar that broke into the minefield and was blown over!" ”

"Hmm! Then we can improve the food tomorrow! ”

There was a coax, and the soldiers were all amused by Commissar Yang's words.

But I couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly got up from my chair and said, "Mine! That's right, it's mines! I didn't think of that! ”

"I said Camp Commander Cui......" Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but look at me suspiciously: "You haven't woken up yet, what's wrong?" What's so strange about landmines? ”

"There is nothing strange about landmines!" I couldn't help but say with joy: "And it's just in time, we will use this mine to stop the motorized troops of the Yue devils!" ”

"Stop motorized troops with mines?" Hearing this, Lin Xue and Political Commissar Yang couldn't help but look at each other, and believed more and more that I hadn't woken up.

"Camp Commander Cui!" Lin Xue looked at me with a puzzled face and asked, "What we want is time, isn't it?" Where will there be time to plant mines? ”

"Don't bury it!" I replied, "With airdrops!" ”

"Airdrop?"

"That's right! It's an airdrop! I pointed to the road on the map between the artillery positions and the motorized units and said, "This road is more than three miles long, isn't it?" Each of our helicopters carries dozens of mines, reduces the altitude and slows down when they fly over this road, and then drops all the mines in a flash......"

"Good way!" Lin Xue immediately agreed: "If each helicopter carries 30 or 40 mines, 10 helicopters will have 3 or 400 mines. ”

"That's right!" Political Commissar Yang clenched his fist and said: "These mines really don't need to be buried, even if the devils can see it, it doesn't matter, these three or four hundred mines have to be swept for half an hour even if they are swept up with garbage, not to mention that they are still mines." What a boy! How did you come up with this trick? ”

"Not because of the boar?" I replied.

"Hmm! So that wild boar is still a hero, we can't eat it yet! ”

Commissar Yang's words once again provoked laughter from the surrounding soldiers.

With a solution, I made some detailed battle plans with Lin Xue and Political Commissar Yang, and then I returned to the battalion headquarters to rest with confidence.

In other words, this method of airdropping mines was not the first of its kind, I encountered this situation as early as the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, but it was the Yankees who used this trick at that time, and we didn't even dare to think about it because we didn't have airplanes, so that even if we had airplanes now, we didn't think of using this trick for a while.

In fact, this method can be said to be convenient and practical, especially if we only need to delay the movement of the Vietnamese army, then it is very suitable to use helicopters to drop a large number of mines.

However, theory is theory after all, and whether it is really useful on the battlefield or not, it has to be spoken by reality. Merely...... If we fail, it doesn't seem like we can afford the price!
