Chapter 161: Exercise (4)
Good guy, when I heard this, I couldn't help but look at Commander Xu, this 38th Army really deserves to be the 38th Army, as an infantry army, its equipment is so complete.
However, this made us determined to launch a surprise attack at night, for the simple reason that our loss of contact with the two battalions of the Airborne Forces meant that they were reinforced by our artillery and fighters, that is, they became a lone army, and it was only a matter of time before they were eaten by the Red Army.
The only way to rescue them now is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, that is, to raid the tank regiments and artillery units of the Red Army through Guò to relieve the pressure on the Red Army's airborne troops.
Needless to say, this task of raiding the Red Army units was naturally carried out by our composite battalion.
Of course, because there were two targets for this mission, namely the tank unit and the artillery unit of the Red Army, and these two units were very large...... The tank unit had a regiment, the artillery unit had a division, and it was even divided into several units in different positions.
Therefore, it is not enough for us to complete this task by our synthetic battalion, but fortunately, the airborne troops are already equipped with helicopters, and we urgently transfer dozens of these helicopters into several parts, which is barely enough.
The problem is only that the helicopters of the Airborne Forces are used to carry Beijing jeeps or to assist the Airborne Forces in combat during training, that is to say, the fighters and helicopter pilots of the Airborne Forces have not undergone training in rope landing, so they can only use the airborne method to launch a surprise attack on the Red Army.
This method is undoubtedly very dangerous, in fact, even if our synthetic battalion will surrender, it will be very dangerous because of the lack of defense of the Zhiwu Reform, but because our army is unprepared for fighting, and there is also the cooperation of reconnaissance troops on the ground. So it's worth the risk.
But then again. This is an exercise, not a real battle. Take a step back and say ...... Even if our surprise attack was unsuccessful, it would have been a good time for the Red Army to win the battle, and then we wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
It is just that perhaps because of the arrogance of never admitting defeat in the bones of the soldiers, neither we, nor the officers and men of the Airborne Forces are willing to end this exercise in this way, which can be seen from the fact that the pilots and soldiers of all units are taking it seriously and actively preparing for it.
"01 Okay." The pilot's report came from the headset one after another: "03 Okay." "07 Okay. ”……
"Take off!" As soon as I gave the order, dozens of helicopters rose with a "sudden" sound of breaking through the air, and then quickly formed a formation in the air and flew towards the war zone.
The practice of the Red Army in inflicting radio interference on the Airborne Forces was certainly correct, since it made it impossible to contact the headquarters of the Blue Army. It's just that what they didn't expect was. What we're really killing is actually the reconnaissance troops...... The two reconnaissance units led by Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were able to contact us after they got out of the range of the Red Army's radio interference and accurately reported to us the location of the Red Army's tank and artillery units.
I have a lot of confidence in Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, because they both came out of the more complex terrain of Vietnam, and now the terrain around the Yinshan Mountain in Zhangjiakou is much better than the jungle in Vietnam, plus although the Red Army is well-trained but has no actual combat experience in anti-agents, so I don't need to think about it, I just wait for their report with peace of mind.
I was right, and by the time of the evening contact we had four coordinates. One of them was the coordinates of the tank units of the Red Army, the other three were the coordinates of the artillery units of the Red Army.
It's just that what surprised me was that Chen Qiaoqiao reported in a hurry, and even when he reported the fourth coordinate, he didn't report all the details.
Later, I learned that in fact, Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi's reconnaissance was not as smooth as I thought, although the 38th Army did not participate in the battle. However, they were not idle after our army's self-defense counterattack, just as the 15th Airborne Army also realized that its tactics and equipment were likely to be weaker than the enemy. The 38th Army also had such a consciousness.
It can even be said that the 38th Army has strengthened this awareness, and the 15th Airborne Army only allows the troops to communicate and discuss with the troops who have participated in the battle, so as to know some of the tactical equipment of the Vietnamese devils. The 38th Army directly sent those soldiers and cadres who came down from the battlefield and were still good on the battlefield to serve as instructors in its troops, and even specially asked a veteran who had fought to play the role of the Vietnamese army to confront them.
So after coming and going, although the 38th Army did not really fight with the Yue devils on the battlefield, its combat experience and Su zhì were actually not weaker than the veterans who had fought in the war.
This seems to be the way it should be, the 38th Army, the troops defending the capital Beijing, if they don't even have this advanced awareness and advanced training, then don't get mixed up.
This also made Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao's reconnaissance work not easy...... Although Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were both masters of tracking and stealth, the reconnaissance unit of the 38th Army soon realized that there was an enemy agent infiltrating.
Because the reconnaissance unit of the 38th Army used Vietnamese agents as imaginary enemies during its training in peacetime, and Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi were precisely Vietnamese agents, plus the 38th Army also had advanced radio listening equipment and military dogs with a keen sense of smell, Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi were also very difficult to deal with.
This is also the characteristic of the 38th Army, as a unit of the Gongwei Beijing Division, and it is also the trump card of our army's trump card, so no matter what advanced equipment there is, it is the first to equip.
However, fortunately, Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao were still superior in actual combat experience, and in addition, they knew the location of the Red Army's tank units and artillery units from the photos taken by the reconnaissance planes in advance, so they finally reconnoitred these coordinates.
Only three of the four coordinates can be used, but it doesn't matter, we didn't want to annihilate all the tank and artillery units of the Red Army, and in fact we don't have the ability to do that...... There are not enough helicopters.
It's just that knowing that with Chen Qiaoqiao and Chen Yiyi's skills, they have to be so urgent that the fourth coordinate is not in a hurry, I have a little shadow in my heart about this raid plan.
The reason is very simple, if the Red Army knew that our army had infiltrated reconnaissance units, and even tracked the traces of reconnaissance units, then would they have guessed our purpose?
After all, this is not a difficult thing to guess, on the one hand, there are only a few targets that they can be attacked, and on the other hand, the time of the exercise is only a few days. In other words, if the Red Army suspects that we will launch a sneak attack on it, it can almost predict the future. (To be continued......)
