The 469th Regiment is stationed in dozens of high ground within a radius of more than 10 kilometers on the Laoshan front, this is a tug-of-war of nearly ten years, the two sides often fight repeatedly for a high ground, and change hands several times, it has become an excellent training ground for the Chinese army, each military subdivision has formed its own reconnaissance brigade to go to the front line for rotation operations, and the Vietnamese side is desperately fighting, after nearly these years of exhaustive force, they can no longer afford to delay, The only realistic idea now is to get more chips for yourself at the negotiating table, not to lose too much, and the top brass on both sides realize that this war, which has lasted for nearly a decade, should be over.

The successive loss of the '317' and '303' heights caused the Vietnamese army's front line to advance nearly 300 meters to our control area, which made the atmosphere in the war room of the regiment headquarters extremely tense.

The regiment commander Wu Son pondered on the huge sand table, and the intelligence transmitted from the front showed that the successive losses of the '317' and '303' heights were related to the stationing of the so-called 'No. 1 Tiger Company in South Asia' led by Nguyen Van Hung, which shows that the strength of this team is really not to be underestimated.

"Are our casualties heavy?"

Wu Shan turned to Chief of Staff Wang Haiping and asked.

"The casualties of the third reconnaissance company of the third battalion stationed on these two heights were slightly larger, but they were not so bad as to lose their combat effectiveness, and the information sent back showed that the three companies were all holding their breath, and they vowed not to recapture their positions and never retreat, and there were also some objective reasons for this defeat, our artillery support was unfavorable, and on the whole, the third company encountered a difficult bone to gnaw this time."

Wu Shan paced back and forth in front of the sand table, as if thinking.

The two heights of 317 and 303 must not be lost, these two heights are the main positions of the front line - the support points of the 54# heights, these two positions have been conquered, which means that the 54# heights will be completely exposed to the blows of the Vietnamese army, if the 54# heights are missed, then our army must shrink backwards on the whole line, otherwise there will be a danger of being divided and surrounded by other places, we must hold on to the 54# heights, and at the same time take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold to recapture the 303 and 317 heights as soon as possible.

"In this way, how much attrition there is in the third battalion will be replenished from our reserves, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the front to take a look, and also go to encourage them, and strive to take the two lost positions as soon as possible."

Takeyama made up his mind.

"I just want to discuss with you about replenishing the troops, didn't a small detachment of more than a dozen people come a few days ago, this group of people can just go up, and if there is a shortage, pick a few from the reserves."

Wang Haiping suggested.

"You mean the cadet squad codenamed 'Snow Wolves'? Yes, they've been here for a few days, and I almost forgot about them, but I'm a little worried, this group of team members is said to have been cultivated with a lot of effort from above, and I'm afraid it's not good to explain to the top if it's really ruined here, right? ”

Wu Shan, who has been on the front line in the past few years, has only vaguely heard some information about the 'Snow Wolf' from his superiors.

"I don't think there's any need to worry about it, it's good steel that will eventually be used on the edge of the knife, and the purpose of their coming is also to increase their actual combat experience, always staying in the greenhouse and never being able to grow into a big tree, let them exercise and exercise, and I see, the weapons and equipment they carry are all top-notch, although they are not very old, but judging from their training these days, these people are really a little unique, and some soldiers of the guard company are really not their opponents when they go to fight them, not at the same level, Even Zhao Lei, the platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon, can't go up, and will fight to a draw. ”

Staff Officer Wang shook his head when he said this, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Is it so powerful? I'm going to take a look, so we'll take a look in the afternoon, and if we can pass the pre-war test, then let them go up and give it a try. ”

Although this is not the forefront, the deafening sound of cannons can still be heard from time to time, and in a clearing near the foot of the mountain, eleven 'Snow Wolves' are conducting combat training.

The place where the 'Snow Wolves' are stationed is the camp of the organs directly under the regimental headquarters, and the guards, logistics and even temporary hospitals are scattered nearby, some lightly wounded people are also treated nearby, and occasionally there are formed teams that rotate from the front line to rest here.

The appearance of the 'Snow Wolf' has become a topic of conversation here, and it often attracts a lot of onlookers to stop and watch when they train.

No one here knew where they came from, they just thought that another group of cadets had come to the front line to gild, but this group of people was completely different from the previous arrivals, they seemed to have their own schedule, they would assemble on time at half past five in the morning, and carry a large backpack for twenty kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country, which seemed somewhat strange to them.

In the past, there were many recruits who were supplemented, and the training of these people was often very general, and many of the training contents were the most basic things, but this batch of cadet soldiers was different, after the morning exercise, they began to train on their own, and their training intensity was not at all what ordinary people could bear.

At first, the army also assigned some veterans with actual combat experience to guide them, but they only stayed for half a day and left, on the grounds that these recruits did not know what they could do themselves, and could not guide them at all, at best, they could only teach them the precautions on the battlefield, and since then these people have begun to train on their own.

A few days ago, a platoon commander in charge of the regimental headquarters was passing through their training camp when he heard the admiration of some soldiers watching from the sidelines and stopped to watch, which caused an unexpected contest.

This is the contest that Wang Haiping mentioned as 'will fight for a draw'.

A few days ago

One of Zhao Lei's fellow villagers was injured and sent here for treatment, and he has been here for a few days, and he has not found time to go over to take a look, and he doesn't know if he is seriously injured. On this day, as soon as Zhao Lei finished handing over the work, he hurried to the field hospital here to visit his comrades-in-arms and fellow villagers.

"Huzi! What do you think? Is it badly hurt? ”

Looking at the little brothers who were leaning on the hospital bed and closing their eyes to recuperate, Zhao Lei's hanging heart let go.

"Brother Lei, why are you here? My injuries are fine, a piece of cannonball skin is in the leg, it doesn't hurt my muscles and bones, and I was thinking about going up there again in a few days. ”

Huzi moved to the side, and Zhao Lei sat on the edge of the bed.

"How can you do it, they are all veterans for many years and are still in this situation, is it a shame, by the way, I heard that your platoon fought very hard, and there were heavy casualties?"

Zhao Lei has been looking for an opportunity to return to the front line, but has not been able to do so, so he pays special attention to every message sent back from the front-line battlefield, in recent days, the front-line war has suddenly become tight, and some important heights have been lost one after another, and he guesses that maybe the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time is coming.
