Two hours before the fighting in Mandalay, Kyaukdang Mountain in northern Myanmar. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Amid the "rumbling" of artillery, Major General Zhang Guosheng, commander of the Fourth Mountain Division, stood on a mountain, frowning at the rumor that the southern part of the country had been almost destroyed into ruins by artillery fire.

Since the attack was launched at 4 o'clock in the morning, the 1st Mountain Division has suffered nearly 1,200 casualties in more than 10 hours of continuous fighting, in other words, the headquarters has lost one-tenth of its officers and men, which is definitely not a small number. The only consolation is that in the early morning raid, the 4th Mountain Division dealt a huge blow to the opponent, and under the continuous attack, the enemy's four trenches at the foot of the opposite mountain were almost leveled, and at least more than 2,000 Japanese troops and Burmese troops were killed in the attack of the 4th Division.

After daylight, the officers and men of the 4th Division became more and more courageous, successively captured the three positions arranged by the enemy in the mountains, and killed more than 800 enemy troops again.

However, at 10 o'clock in the morning, when the troops attacked the fourth line of positions on the mountainside, more than 20 cross-fire points suddenly appeared on the hilltops near and far, almost completely blocking the line of attack.

"Division commander, our plane, the plane is coming!"

Second Lieutenant Dai Zilai, a communications staff officer standing beside Zhang Guosheng, shouted excitedly, and when Zhang Guosheng heard this, he turned around and looked around, only to see a squadron's Q2 attack aircraft group, with a huge roar, flying from the north and flying towards the opposite hill in the shape of a goose.

"Order the artillery to continue to attack, cooperate with the bombing of the air force, and when the bombing is over, let's try to launch another round of attacks to test how hard the enemy's turtle shell is!"

After Zhang Guosheng calmly gave the order, he paid attention to the movement of the group.

I saw that the Q2 strike plane group first lowered its flight altitude slightly, swept over Kyaukdang Mountain from north to south, and then circled half a circle, and from south to north, made a low-angle dive towards the Japanese position, dropped several bombs ranging from 5 kg to 50 kg at the intended target, and then circled twice to find the target to strike, and then continued to drop bombs and strafe after locking on.

The Japanese ground machine guns spewed tongues of fire, but they were helpless against the heavily armored attack planes below.

Just as the group was rejoicing, black smoke suddenly exploded in mid-air, and a Q2 strike plane was hit on the right wing, whimpering and dragging the black smoke, and planted headlong towards the ground to the north. When the fighter plane was more than 300 meters above the ground, two parachutes floated in the sky, and soon the fighter plane crashed to the ground and exploded, bursting with flames and rising smoke soaring into the sky.

Zhang Guosheng's heart sank, and he visually saw that the pilot's landing point was in the middle of the area where our side was engaged with the Japanese army, and immediately dispatched officers and men to rescue him, and at the same time, he ordered the artillery group to fire shells at the anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Japanese troops hiding in the dense forests in the mountains in the distance, so as to suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft fire.

At this time, the threatened Q2 attack aircraft group unconsciously increased its altitude, hurriedly dropped bombs on the Japanese position, and then left the battlefield and flew towards the sky to the north.

Zhang Guosheng shook his head, the devil is very cunning, and deliberately hides the anti-aircraft artillery very deep in order to achieve a sudden strike. In the morning, when the aircraft group bombed intensively, the devil's anti-aircraft artillery hid and did not move, and at noon the troops could not fight, there was a squadron of armed helicopters to help the battle, but suddenly encountered the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery attack, the helicopter flew too slowly, and was actually knocked out by the Japanese army at once, and the rest of the helicopters had to flee far away, and after turning a few circles, they saw that the Japanese army's defense system was very tight, so they left in a hurry, and how similar it is to this scene now.

As the group of aircraft departed, the assault echelons of the regiments entered the starting position for the attack at a distance of about a thousand meters from the enemy's position.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zhang Guosheng, who had a heartbeat, threw all the remaining three main regiments in his hands into the attack, and the first regiment was basically disabled in the battle in front, so the second, third, and fourth regiments served as the main attack, of which the second regiment attacked from north to south from the front, the third regiment attacked from northeast to southwest on the left flank, and the fourth regiment attacked from northwest to southeast on the right flank.

As the trumpet sounded, the three regiments attacked from three directions at the same time, the bugles were loud, the battle flags were flying, and the soldiers jumped out of the trenches one by one, and the troops who jumped out of the trenches first immediately spread out into a skirmish line, and the distance between individual soldiers or fire groups was kept at least five meters, and the platoon commander or company commander commanded the battle in the middle and rear positions of his troops.

The vanguard company of each battalion, in addition to the original personnel, was reinforced with a squad of engineers and an assault platoon drawn from a heavy fire company, the main armament of the engineers was a ten-kilogram bag of explosives, and the main weapons of the assault faction were bazookas, flamethrowers and automatic rifles, as well as a large number of grenades.

While the infantry and machine gunners of the vanguard company were advancing forward, the general-purpose machine guns and mortars left in the trenches began to carry out suppressive fire from the designated firing positions at the enemy positions, and the bullets fired from the rear "swished" past the attacking soldiers, and poured into the enemy's positions on the mountainside.

The Japanese positions in the distance were immediately shrouded in smoke, and the officers and men who rushed out of the trenches were all heard by the sound of mortar fire and the sound of bombs exploding on the Japanese positions a kilometer away.

The vanguard company continued to advance, the other two companies spread out in a dense skirmish line in the rear, and beyond that were the battalion's direct troops, acting as reserve corps to follow the advance in columns.

Soon, the two battalions of the regiments on the front line left the starting position, and the third battalion, as a reserve, entered the starting position along the communication trench.

Of course, the Japanese army would not sit idly by, and when the officers and men of Anjia had just rushed out of the trenches, the machine guns placed by the enemy in the trenches in the mountains began to shoot sporadically at the straggler line launched after the attack of the Anjia army at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, the Japanese bunkers on the left and right hills once again sprayed firepower.

At this time, the artillery regiment directly under the 4th Mountain Division began to divide into two parts, suppressing the hills on the left and right flanks, mainly to hit those machine-gun fire points sprayed with tongues of fire.

At the same time, the 50th, 60th, and 81st mortars of the regiment and battalion that reacted quickly opened fire on the machine-gun fire points on the current Japanese positions to suppress the Japanese counterattack.

The artillery unit of the Japanese army, which had been withstanding for a long time, suddenly opened fire, and a mountain artillery, field artillery, and curved infantry guns opened fierce fire on the straggler line of the Anjia army, causing considerable casualties to the officers and men of Anjia who were advancing rapidly.

Naturally, such a situation would not last, and the reconnaissance and school-firing balloons of the 4th Mountain Division immediately reported the location of the Japanese artillery positions to the artillery regiment, and after a few minutes, the accurate artillery fire quickly covered the Japanese artillery positions, and the Japanese artillery offensive was suddenly dumb.

When the straggler line of the An Jia Army advanced to about 400 meters away from the Japanese position, it was fired by rifle fire from the Japanese army and the Burmese army.

At this time, the machine gunners of each company and platoon selected firing positions one after another, set up Type I general-purpose machine guns, and opened fierce fire on the enemy's position; the mountain soldiers were also organized by the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, while shooting at the enemy with automatic rifles in their hands, while speeding up their pace, bullets flew everywhere on the battlefield, and the attacking companies kept being shot, but the entire offensive formation did not slow down, especially the officers and men of the vanguard companies, with the help of the cover of terrain and features, coordinated with each other, and quickly approached the Japanese position.

When the mountain troops advanced to a distance of about 150 meters from the Japanese positions, the Japanese also threw reinforcements into the front-line positions to supplement the blocking firepower that had been severely weakened on the front line. At the same time, four new firing points were added on the high hills, which once again posed a huge threat to the officers and men of Anjia who were attacking.

Although the casualties were very heavy, the pioneer company was already close to the Japanese position, and when it was less than 15 meters away from the trench, the officers and men threw grenades one after another, and as soon as the smoke from the grenade explosion rose, the brave officers and men jumped into the enemy's trench with their bayonet I rifles on them.

Relying on the mountainous terrain, the Japanese army built an extremely strong fortification, the artillery fire could not be directly hit, the bazooka and flamethrower had no firing angle, and the grenade was not enough to suppress it, at this time, the sappers equipped with the vanguard company began to play a role, only to see the sappers in twos and threes, flashing and moving, sometimes prostrate, sometimes jumping, lying down a few times, they approached the Japanese bunker, placed a large or small explosive bag near the firing port of the bunker, lit the fuse and quickly ran away, the flash passed, and the broken wood and rotten flesh flew away, The enemy's bunkers were opened, and black holes were opened.

Just as the officers and soldiers shouted and pounced on these holes, the mutation occurred again.

"Da Da Da-"

On the left and right hills and on the top of the mountain in front of them, more than 30 firepower points were suddenly added, and the entire mountain was full of traces left by tracer bullets.

Then, a huge roar was heard, and the dense shells fired from nowhere, completely drowning the vanguard company that had just occupied the Japanese position.

Judging from the intensity of artillery fire, the enemy has at least 100 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces hidden in the anticline of the mountains. Moreover, the enemy's firepower is increasing every time, and now the artillery fire can no longer suppress these areas, and the strong attack will only bring greater casualties.

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Guosheng waved his hand in frustration, and the communications staff officer immediately conveyed the order.

An hour later, Zhang Guosheng telegraphed to the headquarters of the front army that the situation faced by the Fourth Mountain Division was very difficult, that nearly 3,000 officers and men had been killed and wounded in the continuous offensive, and that the cost of continuing the strong offensive would be too great, and that the gains would not be lost.

……

Nanhua, Xinjing, General Staff Conference Room.

At ten o'clock in the morning, An Yi, who had successfully made a breakthrough on all fronts and went to rest at ease, was standing in front of the large sand table at this time, listening to the explanation of the battle situation by Deputy Chief of General Staff Huang Zhi.

In the surrounding area, except for Yang Fei, Zhao Dongquan, Cheng Shiming, Fu Mingshan, Wang Zhihan and other generals who were on duty during the day and went back to rest in the evening, the rest of the generals and schools of the Central Military Commission and the General Staff Department all attended.

And behind the conference room is the communication center of the General Staff of the Anjia Army.

In front of the rows of communication exchange desks full of plug holes, there are heroic female soldiers, all of whom wear thick sponge headphones and look focused.

"Communication Center of the General Staff, where is it?"

A gentle and beautiful corporal female soldier immediately greeted warmly with a plug through a hole under the flashing red sè light that signaled that there was a call to enter.

"I'm Xia Jian, help me transfer the conference room, I have an important situation to report to Chairman An!"

In addition to the male Xing's calm and majestic voice coming from the microphone on the other side of the headset, there was also the sound of the radio "ticking" and all kinds of noisy discussions.

"Okay, Commander Xia, please wait!"

After the corporal finished speaking, she did not hesitate at all, and the instinctive reaction brought by tens of thousands of training sessions on weekdays made her skillfully connect the other plug to one of the jacks of the exchange table in front of her, and the green sè indicator light next to the two jacks quickly lit up, indicating that the line had entered the state of connectivity.

After finishing the wiring work this time, the corporal did not take the slightest rest, quickly unplugged the two connection plugs on the communication station that had shown the white sè end call status, connected one of the plugs into the next flashing red sè access jack, and asked enthusiastically again:

"Communication Center of the General Staff, where is it?"

Subsequently, a similar scene that happened before was played out again.

After entering the second half of the 39th year, the conscription of the Anjia Army for the appropriate age has basically ended, and if it is reluctantly recruited, it will destroy the industrial and agricultural production in Nanhua, and at present the recruits are mainly provided by the three conscription points in Hanzhong, Yichang, and Laochang. In South China, the main target of recruitment is young women of appropriate age.

In addition to doctors and nurses, and female soldiers in the art troupe, another place that can best reflect the characteristics of female soldiers and give full play to their meticulous specialties is the communication center.

At present, the three general departments of the Anjia Army, the Nanhai Administration Hall of the Military Commission, the Government Affairs Yuan, the intelligence system, the headquarters of various armies, the military headquarters of various group armies, and the headquarters of all divisions and divisions have all set up such communication centers, and professional female operators are responsible for the task of connecting the sub-lines.

In fact, the program-controlled telephone exchange technology will not be invented by the Bell company of the United States until the mid-sixties, but it is not the time division digital type, but the "air division" type, that is, the user has to occupy a pair of lines when making a call, that is, to occupy a space position, until the end of the call, and the manual connection is not much different. After the 70s, the program-controlled digital switch technology using time division multiplexing technology and large-scale integrated circuits became more and more mature, and gradually became popular in the 80s.

Therefore, although radio communication and traditional wired telephone communication are more popular in government departments and the military in South China, because there is no automatic program-controlled exchange, it can only be handled by manual branch communication, so the operator has become a very important job.

Most of these female communications soldiers are specially recruited by the Boy Scout School and various secondary schools, and after three months of primary military skills training, they enter professional communication skills training.

During the communication skills training, they must first learn to judge which two of the dozens of connections and hundreds of jacks on the communication exchange table in front of them are a pair, which is the first step for them to receive professional training.

With so many jacks, it is very difficult to quickly determine which two are the same line according to the requirements. You know, although there are a variety of Yan sè on the plug to distinguish, but there are seven kinds of Yan sè in total, and each kind of Yan sè has more than a dozen lines and plugs, and in training, from time to time to simulate the live situation of the battlefield, in order to air defense and avoid becoming the target of the opponent's artillery, the lights are often turned on very dimly, in this case, there will be a deviation in the sè temperature, and sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish the Yan sè.

People who have not experienced that catastrophic era, it is difficult to imagine the strength and tenacity of people at that time, none of the female communication soldiers retreated, they grew up quickly with the help of instructors, with their own skills and carefulness, memorize and analyze which two plugs are a pair, in tens of thousands of training, gradually familiar with each plug, and later can even rely on the long-term touch feel and temporary memory, to make accurate judgments.

After being familiar with the plug judgment, the second training subject is to recite thousands of sorting instructions, which is also a very challenging and boring job, but under the hard training, most of the female soldiers have done it, they rely on the unique carefulness of female xing, and far more than the endurance of male xing, recite tens of thousands of sorting instructions, familiar with the transfer position represented by each socket.

Later, as they became familiar with their jobs, they could even recite in detail the hundreds of sockets on their workbenches for each corresponding communication unit, and even the male instructors who taught them sighed at the efforts and successes of these female soldiers.

Due to the popularity of telephones in various departments in South China, there are more and more telephone numbers, and the tasks of the telephone bureaus opened by the government are becoming more and more onerous.

Of course, only after the first and second training, such operators can only be regarded as barely passing, and the operators have another important test, that is, to connect the communication socket of the battlefield communication unit as quickly as possible.

You must know that the soldiers of the An Jiajun come from all over the world, and although Mandarin is generally required in the army, many of them have strong accents, and once they speak quickly, it is difficult to distinguish clearly. And in war, especially for operators on the front line, their delay for a second may cause irreparable damage.

Most of the girls are weak, and when they get through the roars of the hot-blooded men who are on the front line and cry out with their lives, they are often frightened and scrambling, and without special training, they simply cannot calmly hear what is being said and accurately insert the plug into their mouths.

Therefore, the third training that female communications soldiers receive is to go deep into the front line, train their courage in the continuous sound of gunfire, talk to the front-line officers and soldiers as much as possible, familiarize, understand and distinguish the accents of various places, and go to places where bullets and bullets are raining down, so that they can get used to being unfazed in any environment.

The last training session is to talk for a long time and develop a good voice. This good voice is not like singing, which requires a wide vocal range and a beautiful singing voice, but needs to be able to pronounce clearly for eight hours a day.

This course is extremely painful, according to human physiology, a person who speaks continuously for more than four hours will have a painful and hoarse throat, unless he has undergone systematic vocal training, he can speak continuously for a long time. Therefore, the superiors specially invited vocal experts to teach pronunciation skills, and at the same time, they also provided a large number of Chinese patent medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies such as Fat Dahai and Red Girl that can protect the throat to protect the throat.

After training, the operator can now continue to pronounce the voice very clearly the next day after more than eight hours of continuous work. However, long-term speech makes most girls have rough voices, which can be regarded as an occupational disease.

However, these female communication soldiers are not worried that no one is chasing, in the army they will always be eye-catching military flowers, if it is not for the military rules and discipline, I am afraid that everyone will receive a large number of love letters, now is the war, many officers and staff officers, can only secretly crush.
