Chapter 176: Mission

After that, Liu Shunyi followed me to the training ground to observe the training of the fighters for a while, and then left in a hurry, and even his 'daughter' Liu Yun was not in a hurry to see him. I understand this, because I am well aware that this is a time of war, and there is always too much to do for a military commander.

As a result, my heart became a little uneasy, mainly because I was worried about whether the unit I was holding on would be able to handle the upcoming mission, and I didn't know what kind of tasks my superiors would assign to us. From this point of view, my psychological quality is still not good enough, but as the so-called people are not plants, who can really be 'waves' when faced with a choice?

However, I was worried in my heart, but I did not relax the training of the soldiers at all, on the contrary, because the task was imminent, the training of the soldiers became stricter, and every day the soldiers had to return to the camp exhausted, and sometimes they did not even have the strength to eat.

As time goes by, the soldiers' coordination of rest and rest, including cooperation with helicopters, can be said to be more and more rigorous, and the time to complete the exercise tasks is getting shorter and shorter.

That's what I'm training for, because I'm well aware that the slightest mistake in a raid like ours, even a little bit, is likely to be devastating to our troops. Therefore, I did not dare to relax in the slightest in training, and the training scenes were constantly changing, in the forest, in the houses, on the high ground..."In short, all the possible terrain and battlefields I could imagine were pulled into the scope of the exercise.

However, the task of the superiors has not been issued for a long time, and I think that this may be because the superiors do not dare to use our troops easily, and if it is a task that ordinary scouts can complete, they will not let us carry it out, so it will take a certain amount of time to choose.

So I also learned that if we don't receive the task, it will be enough, and once we receive the task, it will be a severe test.

I can't say what it feels like, I'm a little nervous, and I'm a little looking forward to it," because I also wanted to know if the tactics I had designed were useful, and if the fighters' training during this time was in vain.

Finally, one day more than half a month later, the task of the superior was finally issued.

It was a stormy night..."It sounds like something 'adulterous' is about to happen, but of course it is not. In order to adapt the soldiers to war in all kinds of weather, especially night battles, we were still training hard with the helicopter pilots that night.

Just as I was directing the soldiers on the radio to attack a high ground in the dark, a correspondent suddenly appeared in front of me and reported: "Battalion commander! Political Commissar Yang asked us to go back to the camp, and the whole army went back to the camp! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned, took a deep breath and nodded, knowing that the task I had been waiting for was finally here!

Sure enough, when I hurried back to the base with the soldiers, Commissar Yang pulled me aside without saying a word and whispered: "The order is down, give the soldiers a day to rest!" ”

"Yes!" I turned around and shouted to the soldiers, "Disband, rest for the day!" ”

At the beginning, the soldiers didn't react, but when they heard clearly that it was really for them to rest for a day, they couldn't help but cheer loudly, saying that the training has been day by day in the past few months, even if it is a short rest, it is only a few hours, and in order to enhance their adaptability, I often let the soldiers gather urgently when they are resting and then quickly enter the combat state, so at this time, I heard that there is such a good thing as a day off, where is not to cheer.

It's just that some of these soldiers look at me a little differently, such as the hometown people..."He's a smart man, so of course he will understand that there is a reason for this sudden rest." So I gave him a look, and motioned for him not to speak for the time being.

I didn't tell the fighters for a reason, "It's not that I don't believe in the psychological quality of the fighters, I can even say that..."My training was harder than the real battlefield, so going to the battlefield was a relief to some extent. I don't want to tell them that I want them not to fall asleep because of excitement, guessing, 'excited' emotions and so on, after all, they also want to try their skills on the battlefield after more than three months of hard training, and this is the first time, if they really don't rest well because of this, they won't be able to go to the battlefield in good shape.

The people from my hometown have cooperated with me on the battlefield for so long, so I don't know what I mean, so I nodded and quietly took my soldiers back to the camp.

"Here's the mission!" I followed Commissar Yang back to the battalion headquarters, and before I could sit down, Commissar Yang pointed to a high ground on the map and said: "The target is between Heights 303 and 217." There is an artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army hidden in it. This artillery unit of the Vietnamese army has already inflicted heavy casualties on our front-line troops, and your task is to knock them out for me! …”

"The artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army? Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown in doubt.

If this task is in the eyes of others, it is not surprising, but for me, a person who has just come down from the battlefield, I feel that something is wrong, on the battlefield our army's artillery fire is not only several times stronger than the Vietnamese army, it should be our army to fully suppress the Vietnamese army, "how can there still be an artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army that needs our hands."

And...... Now that we know the location of the Vietnamese artillery battalion, what are we waiting for? A round of artillery fire covering the past will not solve the problem!

"That's right!" Lin Xue saw my suspicions, and explained on the side: "Since the Vietnamese artillery has always been at a disadvantage on the battlefield, they do not have a fixed artillery position, and they generally disperse the configuration or adopt the method of swimming to shoot cold artillery, and immediately transfer the position after placing 3 or 5 guns. However, this artillery position of the Vietnamese army is a little different: "The main reason is that the shapes of the two heights of 303 and 217 are very ingenious, they are not only steep but also naturally curved, forming an arc, like a fortress in front of the Vietnamese artillery position", it is a dead end for our artillery, and our army cannot destroy it several times in a row with high-density shelling. The artillery comrades believe that this is a problem of 'shooting' angles, so it is difficult to rely on the power of artillery to completely destroy the artillery position of the Vietnamese army, so we can only rely on us! "Yes! Political Commissar Yang also nodded and said: "According to what I have learned, because this artillery position has caused great casualties to our border guards stationed on the border, the superiors sent several groups of reconnaissance troops to try to destroy it, but they were unsuccessful. The reasons are as follows: First, the Vietnamese army has already made preparations, so it is particularly well guarded; Second, the border area is full of mines laid by the enemy and us, and it is difficult to 'mix' across the border; third, the straight-line distance between this artillery position and our border is seven kilometers, and the actual distance is more than 20 kilometers, and it is also difficult for our army to penetrate such a long distance! So the superiors thought of your troops, how about it? Is there confidence? "Yes! "I 'stood up'.

As a matter of fact, the superiors have considered it very thoroughly, and this task is indeed very suitable for the dispatch of our army's special reconnaissance brigade equipped with helicopters, and it is also a test for us.

"Good!" Commissar Yang nodded appreciatively at me and said: "The enemy's troop disposition is like this, in addition to an artillery battalion in the deep ground under the high ground, there is about a platoon of infantry defending each of the two high grounds. As for the reason why the Vietnamese army has such a small number of troops in these two heights, the estimation of the superiors is this, they believe that the Vietnamese army is insufficient, and the Vietnamese army has allocated most of its troops to the line of the Sino-Vietnamese border, plus the artillery position is far away from the border, the Vietnamese army does not think that how many troops of our army will be able to reach the position and pose a threat to their artillery position, so the Vietnamese army only arranged two platoons of infantry to defend there! "Hmmm! I nodded, I have to admit that the analysis of my superiors is very reasonable, but I think there are other reasons why the Vietnamese army will arrange so few troops in those two heights.

It's obvious...... The artillery of the Vietnamese artillery position bombarded our position day and night, and our artillery would more or less return fire regardless of whether the artillery would blow up that dead end. These shells that returned fire could not blow up the enemy's artillery, so where did they go? It's not all bombed on those two heights, so it would be foolish for the Vietnamese army to arrange a large number of infantry on these two heights.

"However, according to the reconnaissance ......... our army's scouts," after a pause, Political Commissar Yang continued: "At a position less than three miles away from the east and west sides of the artillery position, there are a motorized unit of a company of the Vietnamese army and a public security cantonment, and the strength and equipment of the public security cantonment area are unknown. Judging by the distance, if the motorized troops react...... You can reinforce the artillery positions in ten minutes, that is, you must solve the battle in ten minutes, otherwise there is a high chance that you will be entangled by the enemy, can you do it? …”

"Ten minutes?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this.

This time is also too short, usually we have to land under the helicopter and then take a high ground at least about 10 minutes during training, plus we have to 'spend' some time to blow up the Vietnamese artillery, and we also have time to board the helicopter to retreat...... You have to have at least twenty minutes.

However, this is too far from the time we actually have, ten minutes is only enough time for us to complete the task, in other words, we can't get out of it...

No way! I can't let my hard-trained troops suffer heavy casualties after completing only one mission, I have to come up with a foolproof solution!! ~!
