Chapter 17: 017 Rush and Scythe Mech
Sitting in this conference room, a staff officer introduced the situation: "The 313th Division of the Vietnamese Army is almost the strength of a battalion on our attack target, a company stationed on the 167th height, a company on the east side of the 166th and 168th positions, and a company on the 156th and 167th positions, and the 164th position should be where their battalion headquarters are located. This area is not easy to fight, there are many stone caves, crevices, and trenches, and the Vietnamese army's firepower points are also relatively good. There were also infantry mines placed near the position, which made it even more difficult to rush through. ”
Another staff officer took over the conversation and continued: "We are going to use the method of night attack to quietly penetrate the positions of the Vietnamese army, divide and encircle them, block the Vietnamese army in the hole, and pull it out one by one. So we have already carried out a lot of work in the early stage, setting up observation posts in several advantageous locations, artillery repeated observations, and our sappers have already swept more than 1,000 anti-infantry mines in this area. In order to ensure concealment, we checked with the meteorological department and chose the early morning of March 8 to carry out the attack. ”
In fact, such a meticulous arrangement, even the preliminary work has basically been done, which means that this combat operation is waiting to be implemented, and telling Qi Yiming here can be regarded as showing respect to him.
Fu Quanyou was quite satisfied with this combat plan, and thought that there was no problem, so he said to Qi Yiming: "Comrade Qi, what do you think of this?" ”
This question was actually polite, but Qi Yiming came with other thoughts, so he said: "Oh, I think it's good, but I have a little immature opinion, you can refer to it." ”
As soon as he opened his mouth like this, the faces of the people in the conference room were not good, and calling you here was actually for you to visit, how could you really let what you say count. But Qi Yiming didn't hear it, and said directly: "The situation of these positions in the Nala area is very complicated, and it may be more laborious to fight directly with infantry, and it will cause some unnecessary sacrifices, but with artillery cover or suppression, the attack effect will not be too good, since this is the case, it is better to attack directly by air." ”
Chief of Staff Wu Quanxu's face darkened and said, "Air raid? However, our instructions are that the enemy will not move and we will not move, and this will escalate the intensity and scale of the war. Are you going to send those helicopters to the air strikes? ”
Fu Quanyou coughed slightly, and said: "Comrade Qi also brought an aviation regiment over this time, stationed at Luliang Airport, equipped with our latest fighter-bombers, which are said to be two generations ahead of the Vietnamese fighters, and can carry more bombs than our ordinary bombers." ”
Qi Yiming grinned and said: "The most important thing is that these fighters have the ability to strike accurately, I have hoarded more than 200 tons of precision-guided aerial bombs in Luliang, mainly laser-guided, these guided bombs are extremely accurate, those annoying caves and firepower points can be completely knocked out by name, without worrying about casualties among our soldiers." ”
After all, political commissar Shi Yuxiao is engaged in political and ideological work, and he is not very familiar with weapons, so he was stunned: "Can you throw it from the sky and directly hit the cave of the Vietnamese?" This is too mysterious, if we had this ability, we wouldn't be able to hold it even if we went to Ganling back then. ”
Qi Yiming nodded and said: "Therefore, the combat mode of thirty years ago is no longer suitable for today, whether it is our army or navy and air force, they are all facing the transformation of high-tech warfare, and we must start to get in touch with new thinking and new tactics in order to better protect our home and defend the country." ”
When others say this kind of thing, maybe everyone accepts it humbly, but Qi Yiming, a yellow-haired boy, said this kind of thing, everyone was not convinced, Shi Yuxiao said with a straight face: "No matter how developed it is, this war is still fought by people, although we people don't have much ability, but we have carried guns for decades, and we still have the right to speak." ”
Several staff officers and officers also didn't quite agree with Qi Yiming's meaning, and discussed in whispers, still laughing at Qi Yiming's whimsy.
"Throwing bombs into people's caves, thinking that airplanes are all masters of shooting? It's ridiculous! ”
This weaponistic viewpoint is a great violation of our revolutionary spirit, a greed for life and fear of death, and a manifestation of lack of courage and courage. What can the Air Force do in a land war, in this big mountain is densely packed with bushes, people hide it, and the pilots can't see it, saying that if it hits people's heads, it depends entirely on the blinds. ”
"The army of the American imperialism is not the same, it is claimed to be the most advanced in the world, but it was not beaten by the Vietnamese and thousands of people died, and finally withdrew and let North Vietnam destroy South Vietnam. If I want to say that I am fighting a war with the Vietnamese, it depends on who is more afraid of death and has the spirit of sacrifice! ”
……
Listening to the sound of buzzing and attacking himself in the conference room, Qi Yiming's face turned red with anger for a while, but he still didn't have a seizure, just sat there, staring at Fu Quanyou, the military director who made the decision, with a pair of eyes.
Fu Quanyou was silent for a while, pressed his hand to make everyone stop the discussion, and asked Qi Yiming: "Comrade Qi, do the fighters of your 51st Air Division have the ability to fight at night, and can they achieve that precise strike even in night air combat?" ”
Qi Yiming patted his chest and said: "There is no problem, for my aviation unit, it is no problem to fight at night or during the day." ”
Fu Quanyou asked again: "Then will your air force be able to form an absolute suppression of the enemy's firepower against the enemy in the Nala area, and the effect is better than artillery bombardment?" ”
"It's much better than shelling, let alone precision strikes."
Fu Quanyou nodded and said, "Since you are confident, we can also give it a try." Comrades, Comrade Qi is so willing to let us see the new mode of war, let's give him such a chance, hehe, you are all wearing the new military uniforms sent by others, our infantry will be delayed, depending on the situation, if the bombing effect is good, we will go, if the effect is not good, we can choose another opportunity. ”
A staff officer said eagerly: "But there is a moon in the first half of the night, and the only thing that has no moon in the second half of the night is March 8." ”
Qi Yiming proposed: "Then I will attack during the day on the 7th, and first stir up the Vietnamese army with a restless and tired person, even if it is not successful, you can also take advantage of their fatigue to carry out a sneak attack at night." ”
Fu Quanyou clapped his hands and said, "That's good, let's settle it like this." Comrade Qi, do you have any other requirements? ”
"Well, for the precision strike capability of the aviation forces, I need to send some special forces into that area, and if necessary, manual guidance will be carried out, and our reconnaissance team is also familiar with the vicinity, if possible, bring our commanders and fighters. In addition, in the afternoon, we will also send ten mountain jungle armored vehicles to the front line, which can be used as a fire output point during mountain battles and cover our soldiers for combat. ”
Chief of Staff Wu Quanxu shook his head and said: "No, the car can't come up, our old mountain here is relatively steep, and if you don't grasp the ground firmly, you will fall, not to mention something like an armored car, just climbing the slope will die of hard work." ”
Qi Yiming suddenly showed a weird smile and said, "I said that this is a vehicle of armored soldiers, but I didn't say that this thing is an armored vehicle." ”
Fu Quanyou was interested, these days Qi Yiming always shook everyone's nerves with new things, he couldn't help asking: "What is it that can climb the slope or is it used by armored soldiers, Comrade Qi don't sell it." ”
Qi Yiming planned to sell the pass to the end, and said: "In the afternoon, you saw that because of our limited air capacity, I got ten units, but in the battle at the company and battalion level, these 10 units are enough to reverse the form, hehe, this thing can really only be used in the mountains, and it is bad to encounter tanks and even 25mm caliber armored vehicles on the plains, but there are no armored vehicles on the mountains, and there are few bazookas and direct-aiming artillery, this thing is quite easy to use!" ”
A group of people were confused and didn't know what Qi Yiming was talking about, until the afternoon of the same day, several large flatbed trucks from Lu Liang revealed the answer.
"My God, what is this!" The arrival of the new equipment attracted a crowd of onlookers, and even the officers looked at the steel monsters unloaded from the large flatbed truck with incredible eyes.
The steel monsters were painted in pale black and cyan digital camouflage, and the top half resembled the round turret of a Type 59 tank, but smaller, and instead of a barrel in front of them, a 12. 7mm heavy machine guns, there are also heavy machine guns on the left and right sides of this "turret", a total of three heavy machine guns. In addition, a 7-pack 57mm rocket nest is mounted on the upper side of the turret on the left and right. These structures are not so surprising, but the most unacceptable thing is that this thing does not travel on tracks or wheels, but is actually equipped with arthropods with four heels of hydraulic suspension.
Fu Quanyou pulled Qi Yiming in shock and asked, "Comrade Qi, tell me what this thing is?" ”
Qi Yiming didn't sell it at this time, and said with a smile: "The ZBZ-85 foot-type armored infantry vehicle, nicknamed the sickle mecha, is a weapon we have newly developed specifically for anti-infantry in complex terrain. The main armament is a three-door 12. A 7mm heavy machine gun and two rockets with a total of 14 improvised guidance. Its turret is made of the same inert additional armor as the main battle tank, which can cope with shelling below 40mm, and the biggest feature is that it is very agile, able to cross a variety of different terrains, and has no problem wading up and down the mountain, especially suitable for fighting in jungle and mountainous areas. ”
Fu Quanyou's eyes lit up, he knew very well how much impact the infantry could form with such a terrible thing to cover in mountain combat, the enemy couldn't find any way to face such a killing machine for a while, and its three machine guns would sweep the enemy down directly with a single shot, which was equivalent to a mobile firepower bunker.
Seeing a few pilots get into this strange thing like a four-legged spider, carrying out various actions with great agility, Fu Quanyou's confidence increased greatly, and said: "Ha Luha, even if there is no air raid from you at this time, I think we can drive the Vietnamese out of the cave with this thing." ”
