Chapter 116: Mission

"How's your training going?" On this day, Commander Zhang called me to his headquarters again.

"It's basically in the groove!" I said, "It's just that anti-tank missiles are more troublesome." ”

Anti-tank missiles were just equipped with our troops during this time, because our army was very short of anti-tank equipment at this time...... The recoilless gun is troublesome to use, and the firing range when firing anti-tank armor-piercing shells is only 300 meters, so the anti-tank weapons of our army are still bazookas in addition to bazookas.

And since our army is a composite battalion, it is very likely that tanks will be used in the fight...... If you use a tank, you will inevitably run into the enemy's tank, and the rocket launcher's range of 300 meters and poor accuracy obviously cannot meet the requirements of tank warfare. So Zuihou had to transfer a batch of Red Arrow 73 to make up for it.

"Hmm! Tell me what's in trouble! Commander Zhang asked.

"One is that it occupies a lot of staff!" I said, "You have to do it with two people, which is very inconvenient in a fight. The other has a minimum range of 500 meters...... In other words, the encirclement from 300 to 500 meters is a gap in our army's anti-tank weapons, and any enemy tank only needs to enter this distance...... Then there's almost nothing we can do! ”

"Hmm!" Commander Zhang nodded and said, "There are still difficulties, and the problems in the equipment must be changed slowly, so we can't rush it!" You guys get over it first! ”

"Commander Zhang called me this time...... Is there something new? ”

Commander Zhang smiled: "I can't hide anything from your eyes...... That's right, there are many people who have proposed to test the combat effectiveness of your army with actual combat, and I would like to hear what you think? ”

It's finally here. I was mentally prepared for this. So without the slightest hesitation, he nodded and said, "I have no problem!" ”

"Are you ready?" Commander Zhang said, "Do you want to give you a little more time?" ”

"No need!" I said, "Fight this thing." It is indeed right to sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime, but what you practice when you sweat is still not as good as the skills you learned when you bleed! If you want to go to war, go to war...... We can learn as we play! ”

"That's right!" Commander Zhang praised: "Our older generation of revolutionaries also built up tenacious combat effectiveness by fighting and learning on the battlefield, but it is a pity that we ...... There are still many people who do not understand that the battlefield will change with the times, and they are still clinging to the set of tactics of the 50s, and even because of the lack of training, it is not as good as it was a few decades ago. ”

"Commander Zhang......" I said, "I have a request!" ”

"Say!" Commander Zhang nodded very happily, but there was still a little surprise on his face. Because this is the first time I've asked for it.

"I want to transfer Zhang Fan away!"

Commander Zhang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I know your thoughts, but have you ever thought about it...... She's my daughter, and if there's going to be a war, I'll transfer her...... What an impact this will have in the troops! ”

"I promise that no one will object to my soldiers!" I say.

It's not that I haven't thought about what Commander Zhang said, but I still don't want Zhang Fan to follow me to the battlefield.

"Absolutely not!" Commander Zhang replied very simply: "It's not just a problem of your troops, you don't understand how many pairs of eyes are staring at your synthetic battalion...... Such a tone is to find a handle for people, how can they set an example for other troops in the future? ”

I couldn't help but lose my voice when I heard this, but I didn't understand...... As the so-called shadow of the famous tree of people, although the formation of our synthetic battalion is a military secret. But since the victory of the last exercise, this base has already made a name for itself. Especially Chen Jiahao, who was defeated by me, and even Chen Guohao, the commander of the Ninth Frontier Division...... They're worried that they can't find a way to get revenge!

So it's not difficult to imagine if Zhang Fan was really transferred away at this time. Then the problem will soon be magnified by villains with ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, I knew that it was useless to keep talking, and I only blamed myself for having to be ruthless in the first place to prevent Zhang Fan from doing the paperwork.

"You don't have too much psychological burden!" Commander Zhang looked at me like this, and smiled easily: "I'll give my daughter to you...... I'm relieved. Since I'm not worried as a father...... What else are you worried about! You say yes! ”

When Commander Zhang said this, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly...... What he said sounded good, but what he actually said was "Zhang Fan is protected by you, if she has any three long and two short, I only ask you!" ”。

I really didn't expect Commander Zhang to speak so well, and easily put the responsibility on me...... And it can be said so well.

However...... the phrase "give my daughter to you", I wonder if Commander Zhang is implying that he is very satisfied with my future son-in-law...... So I feel more and more that Commander Zhang is not simple, and one sentence can make people taste so many different meanings.

"Here's what I think!" Then Commander Zhang changed his words and said, "If you want to fight...... We're going to fight hard, and we're going to win a good battle! In this way, the tactics of our synthetic battalion can be truly recognized, otherwise...... Fighting a few ordinary battles still won't solve the problem! ”

I nodded, agreeing with Commander Zhang's statement.

It's actually quite simple...... Now there are a lot of people staring at our synthetic camp, in other words, it's a bit of a "no word for the sin you want to add", if we just fight one, two ordinary victories...... Those people will still "cut", and other units can also do the same in these battles, which does not mean that the training and tactical direction of the composite battalion is correct...... So such a battle will not make any sense except to increase casualties.

"So I've chosen a target for you!" Commander Zhang pointed to a part of the border and said, "Banwang area...... This is the only part of the entire front of the self-defense counterattack that was broken into the defense line of our army by the Vietnamese army...... Since the retreat of our army, several regiments of our army have tried to take it down, but the results have not succeeded! ”

"Hmm!" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this...... Will this be too difficult, first of all, it is the only part that was broken into our defense line by the Vietnamese army, which is enough to show that this Vietnamese army is not simple. Secondly, the regiments could not be defeated in turns, but we still had to go up and fight a victory......

"I know it's not easy!" Commander Zhang seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "But if you don't enter the tiger's den, it's not so easy to convince other troops!" ”

"Which unit is the Vietnamese army stationed?" I asked.

"It used to be the 312th Division, now it's the 320th Division!" Commander Zhang replied.

But in fact, I asked this question the same whether I asked it or not, because I didn't know much about these divisions and divisions of the Vietnamese army.

"This 320 division is not simple!" Commander Zhang said: "This division, also known as the 'Plains Division', is one of the six ace divisions in Vietnam, and it is still ranked above the 316A Division you are fighting. At the time of the self-defense counterattack, the division was still in Cambodia, so it did not participate in the battle...... In March, after the withdrawal of our troops, it was urgently transferred to the direction of Lang Son, and then the 5th Infantry Regiment was assigned to garrison the Banwang area. One of the battalions was stationed in the area of Heights 481, that is, on the heights that protruded from the defense line of our troops...... Several regiments of our army attacked in turn and failed to take it! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but gasp, in other words, what we have to deal with is an ace division who is more ace than the 316A division......

Of course, this 316A division is quite famous...... But the reason why it is famous is more because it participated in the self-defense counterattack and was heavily killed and wounded by our army, so now ordinary people in China are familiar with the name of the 316A Division.

But being famous does not mean that the combat effectiveness is strong, although the combat effectiveness of the 316A Division is indeed very strong, but I know that there will be a reason why the 320th Division can be ranked above the 316A Division.

I found out after reading the information...... This 320 Division is the second main division among the six ace divisions of the Vietnamese army, and it is even a division that directly entered the territory of our army in the 50s and was equipped and trained by our army. Because the division has been fighting with the US army in the jungle area for many years, it is particularly good at jungle warfare.

"One more thing I want to warn you of!" Commander Zhang continued: "Because our battle has brought the Soviet Union a great disgrace...... At the same time, in order to appease Vietnam, the Soviet Union has begun to fully arm the Vietnamese troops, and the 320 Division is one of them, and it is said that they will be stationed on the border while training into a 'machine infantry' division, which means a mechanized infantry division...... Therefore, it is very likely that its firepower and equipment will be even better than in the counterattack......"

Hearing this, my head hurts even more...... The equipment of the Vietnamese devils was already better than ours, and now it is being strengthened with the help of the Soviet Union...... And we don't seem to have made much progress at all because of the constraints.

But if you want to say that there is growth, there is also ...... At least now we don't need to carry 56 and a half to the battlefield, and if we want a few SVDs, it's not a problem! But this is obviously still a gap compared to Vietnam, which was backed by the Soviet Union. Especially things like SVD sniper rifles, our country can't produce them now, and all the ones used are handed over from the battlefield, so if they are bad, they will be one less!

"How? No problem! Commander Zhang asked.

"No problem!" I said, "When are you leaving?" ”

"It's the first of next month!" Commander Zhang said: "Give you another half a month to prepare, and set off on the first day!" ”

"Yes!" I answered.

I thought to myself...... Next, I have to find a place with a similar climate and environment to Vietnam, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt to the battlefield for a while. (To be continued......)
