Chapter 200: Armored Vehicles
"Armored vehicles?" Hearing this, Scar couldn't help but be stunned: "What does the battalion commander mean...... Ride an armored car interspersed with Nanyuki? ”
"Weishenme, can't you?" I said, "1502 Heights...... However, at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, only one battalion of the Vietnamese army was guarding a radius of more than 10 square kilometers, and they were still guarding the hilltop position on the high ground...... Then the monitoring of the line of defense must be insufficient! In addition, there is another river in the middle of the border between us and the enemy...... So I think the Vietnamese army will set up sentries or surveillance points on the other side of the river! ”
"That's true!" Scar nodded: "Because there are no trees and weeds on the river, it is not suitable for personnel to hide, and it is inevitable that there will be sounds when swimming, so the Vietnamese army is arranging open and dark sentry along the river...... Further inside, the vigilance is much more relaxed! ”
"How wide is the river?" I asked again.
"Not necessarily!" Scar replied: "The narrow place is only ten meters, and the wide one is dozens of meters...... Because it's the rainy season, it's two or three meters deep, and the water is fast! Last time, we sent warriors who are familiar with the nature of the water to swim over! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded: "I'm afraid that the more devils didn't think that we had amphibious Soviet-style armored vehicles...... It won't take long for the armored troops to cross such a river, and we can also send a few people over to solve the Vietnamese sentries on the opposite bank in advance, and then use some gunfire and artillery to cover up the sound of the armored vehicle's motors and paddling, and it only takes a few minutes for our armored troops to cross the river! ”
"Then after crossing the river......"
"Nanxing is only 2.5 kilometers from the border!" I said, "It's only four or five kilometers, and it's slow if it's an infantry to get there, but what if it's an armored vehicle running along a road or a mountain road?" ”
"It only takes less than ten minutes!" Zhao Jingping said: "The armored vehicle has strong cross-country ability. Even if there are bomb craters or difficult mountain roads, you can walk freely. As long as it's wide enough ......."
Speaking of which, all of my eyes were on Scar. Scar thought about it for a moment and replied, "The mountain road is indeed enough for armored vehicles to advance, but there are mines in some places......"
"The problem of mines can be solved in advance!" I said, "A day or two before, you can send a small team into the corresponding section of the road to make preparations...... Solve the problem of the advance of armored vehicles! ”
Scar thought for a while before nodding and saying, "Maybe it's true, the armored unit carried a company to launch a surprise attack on Nanyuki, quickly captured Nanxing, who was empty, and then pointed directly at the ammunition depot behind him...... At this time, the Vietnamese troops at the ammunition depot are afraid that they will not have much time to defend at all! ”
"Wrong!" I said, "It's not about capturing Nanxing...... Instead, ignore Nanyuki! ”
"Ignore Nanyuki?" Everyone looked at me in amazement.
"First of all......," I said, "the Quolum and the militia are not very closely connected with the regular Vietnamese army. Even if the Vietnamese regular army knew that our armored units had penetrated into the defensive line, they did not know the whereabouts of our troops because it was dark, and the time was short...... At most, we drove to Nan Xing in ten minutes, in this case, do you think Nan Xing will treat us as enemies? ”
"Oh!" When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
Zhao Jingping added: "And the more devils know...... Wheeled armored vehicles like this are only available in Vietnam, so the first reaction will definitely be their own troops! ”
"That's right!" I continued, "And one more point...... Shasai's listening force has been attacked, and we can pretend to be going to reinforce Shasai's mechanized troops, and before the reinforcements, we have to go to the ammunition depot to pick up a batch of ammunition and transport it......"
"Ahh Scar couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaimed: "In this way, maybe even the Vietnamese army in the ammunition depot can be deceived!" ”
"If you can deceive, you can deceive, and if you can't deceive, you will attack!" I said, "On the other hand...... In the direction of Shasai, reinforcements were also sent with an armor-piercing unit. Be sure to wipe out the Vietnamese army's listening force and the reinforcements from Nan Xing! ”
To be honest, this is indeed possible, because armored vehicles are amphibious. If all the obstacles along the way have been cleared beforehand...... Then it only takes ten minutes or even less to cross the water, meet the mountains and cross the mountains to reach the destination, and then the anti-aircraft machine guns, defense, mobility and newly invested troops on the armored vehicles will immediately come into play, and the Vietnamese army is very likely to be unpleasing at both ends when the troops are weak and are caught off guard!
"This is a good idea!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said, "I agree to fight like this!" ”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
……
The cadres in the conference room expressed their approval.
Thinking about it later, my method is actually in line with the purpose of special operations...... Special operations are to use means of transportation to quickly deliver elite troops to the war zone, and then retreat after being hit with one blow...... The difference is only that modern special operations can be delivered by helicopter because they have conditions, and I don't have the conditions now...... It can only be delivered by armored vehicles!
"Battalion commander!" Then Scar asks a new question: "We're fighting this time...... It is to fight in two directions at the same time, and this is a command problem......"
Scar's doubts, of course, are justified, two forces in two directions are fighting at the same time...... And the battle in both directions is not simple, which makes it impossible for Scar to command alone.
This if in normal times...... Maybe the platoon commander of the agent company can be in charge of commanding in one direction, such as Li Zuolong or machine gun to command the battle in the direction of Shasai, and Scar will fully command the battle in the direction of Nanxing......
But...... The battle in the Sa Sai direction was not simple, because it included the opening of the road in the early stage, the tracking of the Vietnamese army's listening troops, the coordination of infantry and armored units, etc., and it was very likely that it would affect the battle in the Nam Thanh direction...... Therefore, such a command is not something that a platoon commander can bear.
"That's not a problem!" I said, "There are two platoons of agents in the Shasai direction, under the command of the commander of the second company. Four platoons of agents in the direction of Nanxing, commanded by me! ”
"Battalion commander...... That's not good! The instructor immediately objected: "This task is too dangerous, how can you ......"
"Is there a better candidate?" I asked rhetorically, "We are fighting deep into enemy territory, and there is a possibility that we will need cadres who can understand Vietnamese in both directions...... In this conference room, I think only me and the second company commander can understand Vietnamese! ”
As soon as I said that, the instructor was speechless.
"Say it again!" I said, "I'm just a battalion commander, and it's not too many cases where the battalion commander goes to the battlefield himself...... Other battalion commanders can go up, but I can't go up? ”
When I said this, I shut up the other staff officers...... Actually, what I said doesn't make much sense, the phenomenon of battalion commanders going to the battlefield is indeed very common, especially when fighting back in self-defense...... A battalion goes up at every turn, and even the regiment commander has to follow when a regiment is interspersed. But the problem is that I, the battalion commander, command more than one battalion...... It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a regimental leader.
However, this is also a matter of no choice, because there are too few commanders in our troops...... In fact, it can't be said that there are few command talents, for example, those staff officers under me actually have a considerable level of command ability, but they don't understand the combat methods of the special agent company, so they can't command. And what about the cadres of the secret service company...... Although he knew how to fight this battle during training, he had no command experience.
So...... I just had to go on!
That's when I realized something...... To build a special forces in the practical sense, it is not only a question of equipment and combat effectiveness, but also a question of command ability...... If one day, any platoon or even a squad of the agent company goes out and has the ability to fight independently or can stand alone, then this agent company will be considered to be finished!
After Scar and I worked out the detailed battle overnight, the preliminary preparations quickly began.
The reason why I had to drive out the detailed combat jihua overnight...... The reason is that we are worried that the Vietnamese army, a wireless listening unit, will be transferred...... Wireless listening troops are not? And it's car-on, so it's a few days to listen to here and a few days there...... Maybe you don't think it's worth listening here, and you'll move on to other places.
So in order to avoid long nights and dreams, we decided that the sooner this jihua is implemented, the better!
It is precisely for this reason that the early reconnaissance and road opening troops were actually sent out that night.
There are two of them...... One was sent to the direction of Nanxing, and the other was sent to the direction of Shasai, and their number was not large, there was only one squad, led by Li Zuolong and a platoon commander named Sahaide.
Needless to say, Li Zuolong...... This guy has a lot of work on his hands, and he's perfect for a task like this to touch the whistle or carry out an assassination.
As for this Saheid...... He is a Hui man, he was picked out of the 40th Division by Scar, and he was a company commander when he was in the original army. It is said that the meaning of Hyde in their Hui dialect is that of knowledge and wisdom...... This Saheide does match his name a bit, and when he was a company commander, he used a trick to make two Vietnamese troops kill each other in a counterattack......
This is also the reason why Scar took a fancy to him and made him the platoon commander, you must know that the Yue devil is very good, and he has quite a lot of combat experience, so if he can make the Vietnamese army kill each other, then he must have his superiority.
Scar's vision also proved to be good, Sahyde's performance in the training of the agent company was quite good, although the capture team he commanded when capturing prisoners only captured two prisoners, but it was the only team that captured the prisoners and was not discovered by the Vietnamese army, and there were no casualties...... That's enough to prove his ability. (To be continued......)
