"Battalion commander!" That afternoon, when I was observing the advance exercise of the initially well-equipped mechanized troops on the road, the correspondent Xiao Liu found me: "The commander of the 217th Division asked you to go!" ”

"217th Division?" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, this is the first time I've heard of this number...... What is the matter with this division commander looking for me?

Then I quickly understood...... It must be the "arrangement" that Commander Zhang said before, seeing that he has already arranged it now.

But what makes me a little confused is ...... In addition to an infantry division, I asked for an artillery division, which is not something that a division commander can command at the same time.

But after thinking about it, I still asked for the address, took the guards, and then rode straight towards the 217th Division in a jeep.

I was thinking about it when I was sitting in the car...... It's been three days since I sent a telegram to Commander Zhang, and I haven't reacted until now...... This may also mean that it is not as easy for Commander Zhang to do this as he imagined.

I later learned that I was right...... The main reason is that the 217th Division belongs to another military region and is not directly under Commander Zhang, so Commander Zhang must first convince the commander of another military region before he can mobilize these troops.

Originally...... This is an act of overstepping his authority, how can the commander of this military region manage the troops of other military regions, let alone let two divisions cooperate with one battalion of yours...... At worst, this is nosy, and at worst, it may be labeled as a power-grabbing hat.

But what Commander Zhang said was: "Banwang is a hard nail in this place, and you will definitely pay heavy casualties if you want to shoot it down, if my battalion can pull out this nail with fewer casualties...... That's a joy for all! If you can't...... There's nothing to lose to you. A large number of casualties were from the synthetic battalion. You two divisions just cooperate! ”

That's why the commander of this military region pondered like this...... I don't think I will suffer any loss. At most, it is to get more bullets and shells, plus the area of Banwang is still a great shame for our army, and it has also been repeatedly used by the Vietnamese army to hype up politics, and the higher authorities have given an order: "Recapture the position as quickly as possible at all costs!" ”

In other words, this battle will be fought sooner or later, so it's not a bad thing to see what skills this synthetic battalion has, it's a big deal to feel that it's not feasible after listening to jihua, and then deny it!

So this is why the 217th Division asked me to go to the division headquarters, which is why this matter took three days.

What surprised me was...... Of course, when I arrived at the headquarters of the 217th Division. Only then did I realize that what I wanted to see was not a division commander, but the commander of the 73rd Army. But it's not surprising, as I thought...... To command an infantry division and an artillery division at the same time is not something that can be done by a single division headquarters.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng! Hello! An old cadre shook my hand and said, "I am Huang Rongqing, commander of the 73rd Army!" Heard...... Do you have Jihua who attacked Banwang?! ”

"Hmm!" Looking at the face of this old cadre, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart......

The army commander's face was obviously written: "If it weren't for the order from my superiors, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you, the battalion commander!" ”

It seems that Commander Zhang still hasn't arranged it!

But no matter what, people are here, and the commander also asked...... It doesn't work if you don't answer.

"This ......" I hesitated, and then glanced at a few people around the commander, who looked like the commander's staff officers.

"Just say!" The commander said impatiently: "They are all people around me. No problem! ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, pointed to the map on my desk, and said, "My jihua is like this...... To put it simply...... It's interspersed with ......"

Before I could finish speaking, a bespectacled staff officer burst out laughing: "I thought there was something great about Jihua." Interspersed with ?!! ”

"This is ......," I asked.

"Xu Ningzhi, it's good if you call me Staff Officer Xu!" The staff officer had a mocking smile on his lips, and said disdainfully: "Comrade Yang Xuefeng, I don't think you know how our army fought a few times before, right?" ”

"That's it!" Another staff officer chimed in beside him: "The previous regiments were also interspersed with surrounding, and they were badly damaged after several battles and couldn't advance an inch!" ”

……

I looked at the commander, and his face was also full of iron, as if I was wasting his time.

I couldn't help but smile, and calmly pointed to the map and said, "Staff Officer Xu...... Isn't the interspersed position of the previous regiments here, here...... And here......"

Staff Officer Xu couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in his eyes: "Since you know everything, you should know that interspersed encirclement will not work!" The Banwang area is full of high mountains and dense forests, and the side facing our army is very steep......"

"I didn't say it was interspersed in the Banwang area!" I interrupted Counselor Xu's words. I don't care what level they are, I just know that if you can't do anything about Banwang, you should listen to me instead of making fun of them.

Seeing that I was so unpolite, Staff Officer Xu couldn't help flashing a trace of anger in his eyes behind the thick lenses, but because there was a military commander beside him, it was inconvenient to get angry, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Then where do you want to intersperse?" ”

"Here!" I pointed to a spot on the map and said, "Love the shop!" ”

"It's nonsense!" As soon as he heard my words, Staff Officer Xu seemed to have found an outlet to vent the anger in his heart, and denied it on the spot: "Aidian is 23 kilometers away from Banwang!" Interspersed from here...... Do you think the devils are all fools? ”

"Weishenme can't do it?" I asked rhetorically.

"Obviously!" Another staff officer replied: "It's too far, 23 km...... This is still the distance of the road, but the Vietnamese army will definitely block it layer by layer, and if you take the mountain road, it will ......"

"I'll take the road!" I say.

"By road?" Staff Officer Xu said with some incredulity: "Will the Yue devil let you pass without defense?" ”

"Of course!" I said, "But I can get to the destination before they can defend it......"

"You mean ......"

"Interspersed with mechanized troops!" I said: "Quickly interspersed in place with the cooperation of a large number of artillery!" ”

As soon as I said this, the staff officers were silent, and a hint of surprise flashed in the commander's eyes, and his face softened a little.

"My thoughts are......" I didn't care what they thought, and I said to myself: "The deployment of Vietnamese troops along the border is actually like an eggshell, which looks the outside, but when it pierces the shell, it is empty inside...... This was determined by the lack of strength of the Vietnamese army, and they also thought that our army had already affirmed that the self-defense counterattack was over and would not attack again, so they rarely deployed troops and guarded the internal high ground......"

At this point I paused, because I wanted to know if my guess was correct.

The commander nodded in contemplation and said, "This is indeed the case! ”

"So......" I said, "if we can seize this weakness of the Vietnamese army, open a gap from Aidian, and then use a mechanized force along Highway 4 to penetrate the rear of Ban Wang with lightning speed, and cut off Ban Wang's supply line!" ”

There was silence all at once, and while this jihua was indeed a bit risky, it was clearly doable.

"How to solve the problem of Vietnamese artillery fire?" The commander asked: "What if the Vietnamese army knows your location and covers it with artillery fire?" ”

"That's why I need three artillery regiments!" I said: "The three artillery regiments are deployed all the way from Ban Wang to Aidian, and are ready to move at any time to provide fire cover for the interspersed troops and suppress the Vietnamese artillery." Other than that...... The interspersed troops marched at night with closed fire, and it was difficult for Vietnamese artillery observers to observe the exact coordinates, not to mention that most sections of Highway No. 4 still went around the foot of the mountain, and there were many dead ends of artillery fire! ”

"Hmm!" The commander nodded and said, "It's very thoughtful, then your three infantry regiments are ......"

"Two infantry regiments were used for feints on heights 481 and 544 respectively!" I said: "The main purpose is to consume the ammunition of the Vietnamese army...... Especially before I interspersed the troops interspersed in place! ”

"What do you mean by that? weishenme before interspersing in place? ”

"There is a road in Banwang that leads to Highway 4!" I said: "This makes it very convenient for the supply of troops in the Banwang area, but this has also become a soft threat for the Vietnamese army...... They always thought they didn't have to worry about their logistics. So...... If we launch a feint before cutting off their supply lines, and also at night, then they will inevitably consume a lot of ammunition. Contrarily...... If we wait until we are in place before launching a feint, then the Vietnamese army will plan to use ammunition! ”

"Oh! Reasonable! At this time, all the staff officers suddenly realized and nodded in agreement, while Staff Officer Xu was flushed and didn't know what to say.

"Then the remaining infantry regiment is ......," a staff officer then asked.

"Put it in the love shop!" I said: "Open the gap for the interspersed troops and provide some necessary fire cover, or do some feints to confuse the enemy!" ”

After listening to my words, the staff officers were silent, and only the army commander still frowned and asked, "How to solve the coordination of the interspersed troops?" ”

This time I got to the point...... I couldn't help but secretly say that it seemed that the commander of the army here was a man with real skills, and I could see at a glance that this interspersed unit must have the coordination of infantry tanks, infantry artillery, and engineers in order to achieve the results we expected.

But fortunately, I was prepared for that......

I said: "Don't worry about this, commander, this battalion in my hand is composed of infantry, tan, artillery and engineers, and during this period of time, the coordinated training of infantry, tan, artillery and sappers has been carried out, and recently for this battle...... We've started motorizing and night-lit marching training again, and it's going very well! ”

In fact, even I didn't expect that all the training I had done before seemed to be a preparation for this battle! (To be continued......)
