The plan was quickly approved by the Fourth Artillery Division and Commander Jiang, and the whole army immediately entered into three days of pre-war preparations.

Needless to say, this thing is the most important thing in this battle, and it can be said that the whole battle revolves around it.

My order to Chen Weihua and others was: "No matter what the usual failure rate of this artillery sighting radar is, in short, no malfunction is allowed during the attack on Laoshan, especially a few days ago!" ”

It's no joke, if this thing breaks down at a critical moment, I don't know how many people will be killed. If this happens, I, the commander who is directly responsible for the artillery radar test, and can even say that the commander who formulated this plan, cannot afford to bear this responsibility.

Of course, Chen Weihua and the others are also very aware of this, so they have checked and tested the artillery sight radar over and over again, and once they find that there are some minor problems, they would rather replace some new parts.

From this point of view, the problem of equipment factors will indeed restrict the combat effectiveness of the army to a great extent.

Just imagine, even if Chen Weihua and others repaired and tried again and again on the artillery sighting radar, but the machine is the machine, and no one dares to guarantee 100% that it will not fail in battle, and once it fails, the destructive effect on this battle is unimaginable.

Because of this, we had to work out another set of plans, that is, how to fight if there was a problem with the artillery sighting radar.

Of course, this is just a fallback. If we have two or more gun-sighting radars, we don't even need this backup.

Ng Teng-hsiung's artillery battalion also entered the final stage of preparation.

Their main task, as before, was to fight the artillery units of the Vietnamese army.

The reason why Wu Dengxiong's artillery battalion was allowed to carry out this task. One is because Ng Teng-hung's artillery battalion had just fought with the Vietnamese artillery unit and had achieved remarkable results. That is, it turned out that Wu Dengxiong's artillery battalion was fully capable of suppressing and destroying the two artillery regiments of the Yue Devils.

Something on the battlefield. It is believed in one point, one point, which can even be said to be "superstitious", from the commanders down to the ordinary soldiers, that is, the "facts".

To put it simply, no matter how good the results are in training or competitions in peacetime, it is necessary to fight a battle on the battlefield with real examples to be convincing.

This is indeed reasonable, after all, the real battlefield is completely different from usual, so the artillery battalion in Wu Dengxiong's hands is naturally duty-bound. All the cadres believed that the composite battalion had been able to suppress and destroy the two artillery regiments of the Vietnamese army before, and now it will do.

Another reason. That is, Wu Dengxiong and others have experience in coordinating with artillery sighting radar.

In fact, if you want me to say, whether you have this experience or not is not very important, as we know, the coordination with the artillery sighting radar is nothing more than Chen Weihua and others reading the coordinate number jù from the artillery sighting radar, and then the artillery battalion will fire the artillery according to this number, which is not much different from the usual artillery battle, if you really say that there is a difference...... That is, there is less contact with the artillery scouts and more contact with the communicators on the side of the artillery sighting radar.

But the problem is that we know this, but the cadres of the 4th Artillery Division do not know this, so they unanimously agree...... In the case of synergistic experience. The most important and critical task, that is, the task of destroying the artillery of the Vietnamese army, was carried out by the composite battalion.

This is certainly not a problem for Wu Dengxiong and others...... In the past few days, they have been practicing or training at their bases in Beijing all day long, and they almost fell ill. When I came to the front line, I happily fought a big victory, and I was really addicted, where would I refuse to have another addiction.

Besides, it would be a greater sense of accomplishment for the artillery to be able to destroy the enemy's artillery...... I don't know why, for example, being a sniper takes pride in killing the number of enemies, but this pride is not comparable to killing an enemy sniper.

The same psychology also made Wu Dengxiong accept this task without thinking about it.

Of course, the most tense thing here is the 4th Artillery Division, which is the main force.

As for the reason for its nervousness, it is needless to say that it is the problem of the cannon.

The 4th Artillery Division had a total of four regiments, one cannon regiment, two howitzer regiments and one rocket artillery regiment.

According to the current establishment of our army, an artillery company generally has six guns, that is, an artillery regiment must have 54 guns.

In other words, the 4th Artillery Division was supposed to have a cannon regiment, that is, fifty-four cannons.

Although this number was originally used on the battlefield on the front line of Laoshan, it was insufficient, but it would not be too bad, and adding dozens of cannons would almost meet the requirements.

However, it is very unfortunate that the Fourth Artillery Division has just undergone a streamlining reform, in which one company has been abolished in each battalion and each artillery company has been changed from a six-gun system to a four-gun system, that is, the number of artillery pieces in a regiment has been sharply reduced from the original 54 guns to 36 guns.

You must know that the artillery battalion in our synthetic battalion has thirty guns, which is about the same number of artillery as a regiment of the fourth artillery division.

This directly leads to the lack of cannon Yan zhòng required for this plan.

So he had to urgently requisition a cannon regiment from Kunming, but the more than 70 cannons were still slightly insufficient...... In the end, there was no choice but to convert an artillery regiment to cannons.

At first, I thought it was a little strange when I heard it, this howitzer can still be converted into a cannon?

Later, after listening to Lin Xing's explanation, I learned that the two howitzer regiments of the Fourth Artillery Division should be the Canadian howitzer regiment, that is, the cannon howitzer.

The barrel of this cannon is between the cannon and the howitzer, that is, it can be used as a curved fire like a howitzer and a flat fire like a cannon, the difference is only that when it is used as a cannon, it is a large charge with a small angle of fire, and when it is used as a howitzer, it is fired at a small charge with a large angle of fire.

Of course, when used as a cannon, it is only close to the cannon's performance. But when a lot of cannons are needed, there is no way out.

On the other hand, after the entire regiment's howitzers were converted to cannons, there was a gap in howitzers, but fortunately, a large number of units near the howitzers were equipped, and it was enough to urgently transfer a howitzer regiment to supplement them.

The next thing was to transfer these guns to the various heights facing the line of the old mountain......

This is a matter of manpower and body, and the task seems to be daunting, because it is necessary to disassemble and transport hundreds of guns to various heights in the night, and then assemble them, build roads and carry the shells needed for these guns, etc.

But problems like this have never been a problem for our army...... There is nothing to say about the strength of the outnumbered people, and the organizational discipline of our army is not to be said, and the infantry and artillery are closely coordinated on the same line, and in just one night, more than 50 artillery pieces were silently dismantled and entered the predetermined position, and the shells followed suit.

At this rate, it is obvious that the task can be completed ahead of schedule.

But this is not surprising, because those infantry soldiers on the front line know very well that these artillery and shells are all things that will save their lives on the battlefield in the future, so helping the artillery comrades to transport is not helping themselves?

As for secrecy, not to mention, the lie that the 40th Infantry Division had been tested before, that is, the "new telescope" that we deliberately released to confuse the Vietnamese agents, was almost impossible to release because of the unexpected secrecy of the 40th Infantry Division.

It is said that the soldiers of the 40th Infantry Division followed the method of the ancients and each person bit a chopstick in his mouth in order to achieve the effect of silent transportation when performing tasks.

Of course, the soldiers on the front line often don't even have chopsticks, and most of the things they eat are compressed biscuits without chopsticks, and all kinds of canned food are solved with military thorns.

According to the words of the 40th Division, that is, they had already caused losses to the artillery brothers because they did not hold the 723 heights, and now they can't be wrong again and again.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" The next day, Senior Commander Jiang called me: "Congratulations, the target has shifted. ”

"Hmm!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that the "target" that Commander Jiang was referring to was the 316A Division.

Although I also want to take advantage of this time to solve the 316A division of Yue Devil in one go, my previous experience has taught me not to be rash on the battlefield, and war is for strategic purposes, not revenge or face.

"The more devils are not easy to deceive!" Division Commander Jiang sighed: "We have arranged more than 500 radio stations of various types on the front line of Kuolin Mountain, and we have mobilized the strength of one division, so that the Yue devils finally believe in this situation!" ”

A division...... Hearing this, I couldn't help but smack my tongue, this can almost be said to be not a feint, and the real attack almost only needs to mobilize one division, just like our total strength in the direction of Laoshan is only a little more than one division.

Fortunately, we have a large number of troops, and there are still 3 or 4 million people in the disarmament and reduction period, and at the peak of the maximum there were more than 6 million people.

"It's all set up!" Senior Commander Jiang asked again.

"It's almost furnished!" I replied: "Even the cannon on the position needs to be strengthened, after all, the time is too tight, and the coordinated command between the composite battalion and the artillery division also needs to be further strengthened!" ”

It was at this time that I realized that it was not easy to command the artillery, because the artillery was not like the infantry, which regiment was placed where it was attacked, so it was more or less arranged in advance.

There will be more questions about the command of artillery, such as how many units should be involved in the preparation of artillery fire in the early stage, whether to transfer positions after the shelling, and how long after the transfer of positions can be put into action again (to be continued......
