Chapter 42 The Attack Initiates
When the troops participating in the battle were nervously making the final preparations before the battle, in Muhe County, a border county in Hongwu more than 100 kilometers away, it was still the same as before, the shopping malls and shops were open normally, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going, with the sounds of selling goods, bargaining, quarrelling, and gossiping, which were intertwined to form a picture of peace and happiness.
At this moment, in the Suomei Yoga Hall in Muhe County, Wang Ruoshi sat by the window with a little sorrow, and just after class, Wang Ruoshi sat by the window and looked out. Recently, Wang Ruoshi has been like this, although there is no difference from the normal commute as before, but after each class, Wang Ruoshi will sit by the window and quietly look outside.
"Ruoshi, what do you think? I've been sitting here in a daze since I saw that you were okay these days, what happened? Did you quarrel with your family Xiaofei? As Wang Ruoshi's good friend, Cui Yuxuan really wants to help Wang Ruoshi share some of her sorrows.
"Huh?" Cui Yuxuan's voice was very sudden, which startled Wang Ruoshi, and she was stunned for a moment, Wang Ruoshi said: "Ah, Xiaofei and I didn't quarrel. We haven't been in touch for half a month, and I heard him say that he has a mission, that he is going to the exercise, and he is not allowed to bring a phone, and he said that it will be at least a month. ”
Cui Yuxuan said: "Oh, I thought you had a quarrel." Didn't they all tell you to go to the drill, why do you still have a worried expression, you haven't smiled during this time, and your brows are furrowed day by day. ”
Wang Ruoshi's voice was full of worry, and she said: "I heard someone say a few days ago that our country went to fight terrorists on the side of the Shaya Federation, and there were many troops, many tanks and artillery, and many people saw it. I wondered, Gao Xiaofei, will they also go? Otherwise, why hasn't he been in contact with me, saying that it was a drill, would he also go to war? ”
Listening to Wang Ruoshi's words, Cui Yuxuan said in surprise: "Won't it?!" I asked. After speaking, Cui Yuxuan took out her mobile phone to call her friend, and when she reached the fifth call, she finally asked for the news. This friend is Cui Yuxuan's junior high school classmate, who works in the Public Security Bureau and knows a little about national affairs. When Cui Yuxuan's friend heard Cui Yuxuan directly ask him whether our country was going to fight in the Shaya Federation, her friend was taken aback, and her friend hurriedly told her that this matter must not be spread to the outside world, because this matter is a state secret. In the end, Cui Yuxuan still confirmed the news from her classmates that an army had indeed gone to the Shaya Federation to fight.
Hearing this accurate news, Wang Ruoshi's face turned white, her lips trembled, and her heart was beating very hard, as if she was about to burst her chest.
Seeing Wang Ruoshi's appearance, Cui Yuxuan regretted asking a little, it was better to know nothing, but now it's too late to say anything, since the news has been confirmed, it can only be better, Cui Yuxuan hurriedly comforted: "Ruoshi, don't worry too much." Xiaofei is so powerful, didn't we all see it last time, he brought people over to eliminate the terrorists, isn't it, the terrorists are not Gao Xiaofei's opponents at all. Moreover, if our country sends troops to exterminate terrorists, isn't it just like the police catching thieves, the regular army beating bandits, and adults beating children. ”
At first glance, when she heard the accurate news, Wang Ruoshi was really panicked, and she was at a loss for what to do. But after thinking about it for a while, his head turned around, and he was no longer as nervous and worried as he was just now, although his expression was still full of worry, but his tone was much more normal, Wang Ruoshi said: "Well, I'm fine." Just now, the news was too sudden, and I was a little frightened. It's okay, I know that soldiers are meant to go to war, and soldiers are meant to defend their homes and defend the country. The terrorists have come to our house to kill people, and we will definitely destroy them. I believe that Xiaofei will definitely return triumphantly! ”
Seeing Wang Ruoshi's appearance, Cui Yuxuan relieved her heart and said: "That's for sure, how powerful is your Gao Xiaofei, you will definitely be able to win the battle, and then return triumphantly, and then win many honors, and then be promoted to be a big official, and then propose to you with a medal, and then ......"
Wang Ruoshi hurriedly stopped Cui Yuxuan's words and said: "Don't do it, where did you go, you still proposed, and then did you give birth to a lot of children?" We've only known each other for more than half a year, why did we get married so quickly? ”
"More than half a year is still a short time? It's not short, some people get married after knowing each other for ten days and half a month, you guys have been long enough, both parties are satisfied with getting married, what are you waiting to wait for, such an excellent man, waiting to be snatched away by others, you regret it too late, there is no place to cry. Cui Yuxuan looked like she hated iron and steel, and she couldn't wait to fall in love with Gao Xiaofei, so she would have been married a long time ago, so how could she wait until now.
Wang Ruoshi said: "It's so easy to get married, and if you get married, you get married, and there are still many things to do, which is very complicated." Moreover, if someone can snatch it away, it means that the affection between us is not strong enough, then it can only be snatched away, and if the affection between us is strong enough, then no one can snatch it away. ”
Cui Yuxuan said: "You are reasonable, but I can't say you." I'll just wait to eat the candy, and I don't have to worry about anything else. ”
After such an exchange, Wang Ruoshi's mood has improved, unlike sitting silently by the windowsill by herself like before, full of worry. Human beings are like this, they are social animals, and they must not be alone, no matter what kind of person they are, one person is prone to accidents. No matter how difficult things are, as long as someone helps you find a way, and someone shares it with you, you will get through the difficulties. And that's why friends are important. Since this day, Wang Ruoshi and Cui Yuxuan have become more intimate, and they should have been good friends before, but after that, they have become best friends who talk about everything.
Although Wang Ruoshi said that after Cui Yuxuan's enlightenment, she was no longer particularly worried, but after all, Gao Xiaofei went to war, and there will always be deaths in war, Wang Ruoshi is still worried about Gao Xiaofei, and she always keeps chanting and praying in her heart.
Naturally, I don't know about Wang Ruoshi's chanting and prayer, but at this moment, I have already embarked on the journey of battle with the soldiers of our platoon.
According to the latest operational plan, we will adopt the tactics of a three-way assault and attack the terrorist groups in the Custrlo Mountains in three directions.
The advance battalion, attached to the 1st Company of the Tank Battalion, attacked from the left; The armored battalion was attached to the 2nd company of the tank battalion and launched an attack from the center; The infantry battalion was attached to the 3rd company of the tank battalion and attacked from the right flank; The artillery battalion was in the rear, providing artillery support to the front; The air assault battalion conducts air fire support from the air to the front.
The determination has been made, and the only way to do it is to execute!
I led the whole platoon of fighters towards Heights 539, which is a high ground on the north side of the Custello Mountains, which is on the left side relative to the direction of our attack, so to speak, we are on the left. The objective of our operation was to first occupy the 539 Heights, then to take control of the area around the 539 Heights, and then gradually advance deeper into the Custello Mountains.
Since the other party has been prepared, there is no way to sneak attack, only to attack. To attack strongly, it is necessary to fight steadily and steadily, step by step, and gradually compress the opponent's position until it is completely annihilated.
It is about 50 or 60 kilometers away from the 539 Heights, and the higher authorities have considered it quite thoroughly, and in order to prevent them from getting too close to the enemy and gaining a foothold from being attacked by the enemy without a stable foothold, they have asked all units to arrive at the first target point within two days to occupy the first target. Sixty kilometers for two days, the trip is not tense at all, everyone does not have to rush too much on the road, stop and go, but relaxed.
As a platoon commander, I still have some concerns. We are all soldiers in the new period, and we have never been baptized by the flames of war, and although we have done a lot of military training and exercises in the past, no one knows what actual combat is like, and no one knows whether it is the same as the exercises and drills. Therefore, there is always a concern in my heart, if the battle begins, if the actual situation is too cruel and difficult, will we be able to bear it? This is an extremely serious problem that has always bothered me. Of course, such questions may also echo in the minds of leaders at all levels.
However, if we don't fight, we will never be able to solve the problem, and no matter how regular and strict the training is, it is still training, and no matter how close the drill is to actual combat, it is also a drill. Only actual combat is the only criterion for testing the combat effectiveness of the army. Therefore, the head of the Central Military Commission has made such a firm demand that this battle must be fought, not only to defend the security of the people of the country, but also to test the combat capability of the troops.
