"Alas!" After a long time, Division Commander Liang sighed and said, "I thought things simply, thinking that if we called the helicopters, we would have the air power, and we would have enough troops and firepower to attack the enemy's three positions at the same time...... Now it seems ......"

"So?" The political commissar still asked me a little reluctantly: "What does Battalion Commander Yang mean...... Is this helicopter unit unfit to take part in the battle at Mount Faka? ”

"Not necessarily!" I replied: "If it is to provide fire cover for the attacking troops on the perimeter of the helicopter surface...... This is not a big problem, after all, helicopters are also armed with anti-aircraft machine guns and rockets of long range, and we have the advantage of movement...... It is difficult for the Vietnamese anti-aircraft machine guns to hit us, we can fly into the air in batches to cover the infantry with no dead ends, and at the same time we can also disperse the fire of the Vietnamese army! It's just that...... I'm afraid that this still can't solve the problem fundamentally! ”

Master Liang nodded: "If you really want to talk about fighting...... Maybe it can also be defeated, in order to be able to minimize the casualties of our army and cooperate with the offensive of our division...... A total of three artillery regiments were allocated by the higher authorities for the command of our army, and these artillery regiments had three base reserves, and the stock was constantly increasing. Under the cover of strong artillery fire and helicopter fire...... Our infantry first occupied positions No. 4 and No. 5, and then took positions No. 3...... It's not that hard! Merely...... If you fight like this, you will only be afraid of ...... casualties."

Master Liang's analysis makes sense, this is what we often call hard gnawing...... There are three artillery regiments to cover, and there are endless shells...... The artillery units of the Vietnamese army can almost be said to be pressed and beaten by us, and one or two artillery regiments will be freed up to bombard Phaka Mountain, and the bombardment will be flattened!

The problem is just ...... This Faka Mountain is too narrow. The length is only a little over a hundred meters...... And it's the width of the foot of the mountain. The higher you go, the narrower it gets...... This almost made our soldiers concentrate and rush forward. As long as there are one or two machine guns left in Vietnam, they will go off...... There are dozens or hundreds of casualties at will, so how can we achieve the goal of controlling the casualties within 200 as required by the superiors!

So a combat meeting that was supposed to come to an end came to an impasse...... Everyone in the division headquarters racked their brains to find a way, but they never came up with a good offensive plan...... The main reason is that there is a limit on the number of casualties.

For example, what is interspersed with surrounding...... As long as the devils come over with a cannon fire, this battle has not yet begun...... The number of casualties is about to break the ceiling.

Another example is that some cadres proposed to send scouts to cut off the logistics supply of the Vietnamese army...... The Vietnamese army in this Phaka Mountain has been preparing for more than a year, and how can we easily consume the amount of ammunition stored in this store!

Not to mention...... Even I was in a predicament for the same reason as other cadres...... This is the first time I've fought this one, and it's a casualty limit, and it's a battle of up to 200 people!

It is important to know that the Battle of Faka Mountain is the largest battle since the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and it is also the first time that our army has recovered the cavalry line point occupied by the Vietnamese army...... In accordance with international law. No troops can be garrisoned on both sides of the border for more or less kilometers, and when our troops withdraw from Vietnam, this rule is observed, that is, a few kilometers after our troops withdraw to the border.

But the Yue devils didn't care about this, they recovered a little bit of vitality, and saw that the Chinese soldiers didn't seem to fight anymore, so they slowly pushed the army forward...... This is not? Last year, in January 80, the Vietnamese army pushed to this Phaka Mountain!

At this time, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful of my superiors...... Wouldn't there be nothing left if you took it earlier? Now let's take it down with such a small casualty!

But then again...... There is a reason not to occupy this and not to occupy it, we are justified in the international community, right? The military is always at the service of politics, and we have nothing to say about this!

It's just that it hurts us soldiers...... I don't know how to play here!

Suddenly I thought a little bit...... This Faka Mountain...... Since it is easy to attack and difficult to defend in the direction of the Vietnamese army, why don't we attack from the direction of the Vietnamese army?!

I couldn't help but pat my head when I thought of this. Shouted, "There it is!" ”。

This frightened the surrounding cadres, including Division Commander Liang.

Immediately after that, Commander Liang asked with anticipation on his face: "Battalion Commander Yang has thought of a way?" Tell me about it! ”

"Hmm!" I blushed and said, "I...... My thoughts are like this......"

Looking at the cadres around him, they all had expressions of trust and expectation. I was no longer polite, and pointed to the topographic map on the table and said: "The direction of the three positions on Phaka Mountain makes it difficult to attack from the direction of our army, but it is much easier to attack from the direction of the Vietnamese army......

Master Liang nodded: "That's true...... Therefore, it is also difficult for our army to defend, and I also found this when I was thinking about the follow-up defense......"

"Then ......," I said, "why don't we attack from the direction of Vietnam?" ”

"Attack from that direction in Vietnam?" The political commissar and the division commander looked at each other, and said with some disappointment: "What does Battalion Commander Yang mean...... Wrap the bag around the back of Fakka Hill? We've already talked about that...... If you want to penetrate from the left or right flank of Phaka Mountain, it is very likely that you will be blocked by Vietnamese artillery fire......"

I shook my head with a smile and said only three words: "Helicopter!" ”

The political commissar was stunned for a long time before he gradually reacted and nodded slightly.

But Master Liang slapped the table and shouted, "That's right...... We just thought about interspersing the encirclement, but we didn't think that we could use a helicopter to directly rope people over! ”

"But there's a problem here!" Division Commander Liang pondered for a while, and then said with some concern: "If you descend to the back of Phaka Mountain, it can be said that you have entered the encirclement of the Vietnamese army...... You must know that the Vietnamese army in Lu Dao has the strength of a regiment around Phaka Mountain, not to mention ...... At that time, you were on the anticline of Mount Faka, which was a dead end for our artillery fire, and it would be difficult for our army to provide cover for you......"

Commander Liang's worries are indeed necessary, you must know that we can be said to have gone deep behind enemy lines, if the Yue devils find out our intentions...... As soon as the artillery fire came over, we didn't know how many people were going to die!

"So......" I said, "we can't let the Yue devils find out that we have infiltrated us, or try not to let them find out, and by the time they find out, it's too late!" ”

"This ......," Master Liang looked at me in disbelief and said, "How is this possible?" It's a helicopter rappelling! (To be continued......)
