The next day we walked up to the 581 Heights, and the soldiers did not know about the agreement reached between me and Chen Guohao, but my staff officers and company commanders did understand something.

The soldiers under my command still have a lot of complaints about this, especially the few people who can't figure it out.

"We fought the battle, but the credit belongs to the Ninth Frontier Division! How can there be such a good thing in the world! The scholar said: "Then I don't understand that we are fighting a battle in weishenme!" ”

"That's right! Battalion commander! Zhao Jingping said: "There will definitely be casualties in this battle, if it is a merit, it will not be considered ours, then how to say the death and injury of the soldiers, how can we take credit for those sacrificed soldiers!" ”

Company Commander Luo didn't say anything, he only asked: "What kind of algorithm is the credit for them?" ”

"It's this battle fought under the command of Division Commander Chen!" I said, "If we lose, we don't have to say anything." If you win...... The argument is like this: because of the lack of sniper rifles, the Ninth Frontier Division urgently transferred a unit equipped with sniper rifles from the country, and personally commanded the sniper troops to cooperate with ordinary combat units according to the enemy's situation and its own situation, and successfully repelled the Vietnamese army! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers were silent, and after a while Scar said, "Then haven't all of our training during this period become Chen Guohao's?" ”

"Come on!" Company Commander Luo said: "Comrades still don't understand? In this way, the biggest loss is actually the battalion commander, because this set is all the battalion commander, and the result is that it has all become Chen Guohao's 'personal command'. ”

"The troops will repay the same as casualties!" I said, "It doesn't have much effect on the fighters!" ”

"Is there no other way?" Zhao Jingping asked.

"What else can be done?" I smiled helplessly: "Comrades, you might as well think about it, even the logistics supply of our troops needs the support of the Ninth Frontier Division, and if there is no cooperation from the Ninth Division...... We can't stand it if we drag us logistically. Besides...... It's just some fame and fortune. Our aim is to deal with the Vietnamese army's layered excavation tactics and spread them throughout the army. Maybe Chen Guohao will quickly carry forward this tactic after we win! Then we've got there, haven't we? ”

I'm not joking. It is obvious that Chen Guohao is a person who can engage in propaganda, and if he has such a victory...... Don't think about it, you'll be showing off everywhere soon.

"The battalion commander is right!" Instructor Zuihou spoke: "Now is the time for us to unanimously communicate with the outside world, otherwise if we are still secretly fighting internally to tear each other down, then we will not be able to defeat the Vietnamese army at all, and it may even be broken by the Vietnamese army." Since this is the way the situation is, it is also time for us to make some compromises...... Comrades can think of the good, in this way our interests will be linked to the Ninth Frontier Division. The Ninth Frontier Division will also hope that we can win the battle...... On the one hand, this can relieve their pressure on the front line, and on the other hand, they can also get fame and fortune, so they will fully support us and cooperate with us! Why not? ”

So the matter was settled, but in order not to affect the morale of the soldiers, he did not reveal too much to the soldiers, only saying that our battalion is now under the command of the Ninth Frontier Division. Naturally, soldiers don't have much opinion on this, and their thoughts are ...... As long as the battalion commander is still the original battalion commander, we still listen to the command of the battalion commander, regardless of who commands and does what!

Our battalion secretly changed guards with the troops of the Ninth Frontier Division in the early morning of the next day...... The reason why we had to change guards in the early hours of the morning was because there were many soldiers in our troops who were not familiar with the terrain of the 581 heights. Changing guards in the early hours of the morning can avoid the eyes and ears of the Vietnamese army, and second, the sky will get brighter and brighter in the following time. Just to familiarize the fighters with the terrain.

After learning about the situation on the 581 heights, I sent four platoons in the first batch, and these four platoons were two platoons of the first company and two sniper platoons of the third company......

The reason for this arrangement is that the agent platoon is not suitable for such positional warfare...... In fact, I made this decision after some consideration, the main reason is that many of the members of the agent platoon are members of the original Second Company, and they have all stayed on the 581 Heights for a long time, so they can naturally adapt to the life on the 581 Heights relatively quickly. And almost all the soldiers in the first company are cadets recruited by the infantry school, although they have fought in battles, but it is the first time to fight under such difficult conditions, so I am a little worried that they will not be able to hold on and will not be able to cooperate with the sniper platoon to fight.

But then I thought about it and felt that the army had to be tempered in a difficult place in order to grow. Besides, if the agent company was also asked to hide and hide to fight positional warfare, it would lose the meaning of the agent company's training, so in the end, the company was finally sent.

I also walked up to Heights 581 with the troops, because I needed to see with my own eyes what the Vietnamese army's "layered excavation" tactics were all about.

I cautiously touched an observation point and then took out my binoculars and looked at the Vietnamese army's position...... This is a benefit left to us by the Ninth Frontier Division, which desperately snatched the hilltop position from the Vietnamese army, which made it very easy for me to find a position to observe the Vietnamese army's fortifications.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this...... The heights of the Vietnamese army on the opposite side did not know that they were full of trenches from time to time, not only on the anticline of the 581 heights, but even on the Vietnamese heights directly opposite the 581 heights and on the high ground on the left and right...... Everywhere there are trenches criss-crossed.

You must know that those places are all positive slopes for our artillery, and the Vietnamese troops will not be able to deploy too many troops there at all, otherwise they will only be covered by our artillery fire.

But...... The Vietnamese army does not seem to have any intention of placing too many troops there, and it is clear that these trenches are not intended for the large number of Vietnamese infantry, but only to provide hiding places for Vietnamese snipers.

So that's where it works...... There were no large Vietnamese infantry in the trenches on the opposite side, but only four or five or even fewer snipers, and these four or five snipers were still scattered over such a large area...... So what can we do? Covered with artillery fire? The result of this is often to waste a large number of shells, but not to kill or wound a few Vietnamese soldiers.

So herein is the value of a sniper...... They were able to do what a large number of infantry could do without being overwhelmed by enemy artillery fire.

What's even more powerful...... Because of the range of the SVD sniper rifle, the Vietnamese snipers on both sides of the high ground can also get the 581 high ground...... To put it simply, the snipers of the Vietnamese army can cooperate to suppress our army's high ground from three directions: front, left flank, and right flank. At the same time, the ordinary troops of the Vietnamese army continued to advance to the hilltop position of our army with trenches, and snipers also followed up on the situation......

Seeing this, I couldn't help frowning, and soon returned to the command post from the high ground with the guards.

When I got back to the command post, I saw someone I didn't want to see...... Chan Ka Ho.

"Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" Chen Jiahao had an unnatural smile on his face and said: "During this time, I have been in charge of the defense of the 581 Heights, and I know the current situation of the 581 Heights very well, and the division commander ordered me to cooperate with you in the battle!" ”

"Oh!" I nodded, and secretly said that this Senior Commander Chen really has a hand, so it will be more like they are commanding us to fight.

"You've come just in time!" I said, "I just went up to the battlefield to see the situation...... Is every one of our heights suppressed by snipers from three directions of the Vietnamese army? ”

"Yes!" Chen Jiahao nodded: "And it's not just snipers, but also the artillery of the Vietnamese army...... The Vietnamese army arranged snipers and artillery observers to continue to bombard our hilltop positions......"

"And how did you hold your ground?" I can't help but wonder a little in this case...... I believe that even if the agents are connected, it will not be possible to hold the 581 heights, let alone the Ninth Frontier Division.

"That's right!" Chen Jiahao said a little triumphantly: "Of course we will not send a large number of troops to garrison the hilltop position on the top of the mountain, but only arrange a few sentinels, and then send troops up to repel the Yue devils when the Yue devils attack!" ”

"The more devils don't come up every time, there aren't many people!" I said, "And when you get to a certain distance, you don't rush forward anymore?" ”

"You...... How do you know? Chen Jiahao couldn't help but be stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken!" I continued: "There have been a few times when the Yue Devils have taken the hilltop position, but they have been easily taken back by you! ”

The expression on Chen Jiahao's face told me that these words were right.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you see that the goal of the Vietnamese army is not our high ground, but the living liliang that consumes us?" Attacking with small forces is nothing more than a feint to get your troops to be targeted by their snipers and artillery...... In fact, the Vietnamese army can take back the hilltop position at any time, if you are like the 40th Division...... If you don't fight with the Yue devil for this mountaintop position, then there is no problem, and all the arrangements and arrangements of the Yue devil will not work! On the contrary, we took advantage of it because we had fire cover such as anti-aircraft machine guns and mortars. ”

"Battalion Commander Yang!" Chen Jiahao objected: "I can't agree with this, if one hilltop position is not contested, then we will soon lose another hilltop position, every inch of our feet is the country, all of which the soldiers have exchanged for their lives and blood, so how can we give up easily?" ”

I could only let out a wry smile, and I understood a truth...... If you think differently, don't try to reason with him, because he will also have his own reasoning, and the result will be that no one can convince anyone. (To be continued......)
