Although the direction of the 142 heights blocked the attack of the Vietnamese army, and even annihilated a battalion of the Vietnamese army without artillery assistance, the shape of the entire battlefield was still quite grim.

First of all, of course, is the loss of front-line positions...... The reason why these positions are important and why they must be defended to the death is that the high ground in the Lao Son area has the characteristics of being gentle in the south and steep in the north, and once the Vietnamese army has gained a firm foothold in these positions and is fully prepared, then it is very likely that our army will have to recapture them at a heavier cost.

This is a little different from the previous Lao Son recovery battle, in that battle, our army was unprepared, and as soon as it came up, it used artillery aiming radar to suppress the Vietnamese artillery.

But now, all our shells have been fired, and without shells, the artillery sighting radar will naturally not be effective.

On the other hand, the Vietnamese army, their artillery is now back from the dead...... After realizing that our artillery shells were finished, the few artillery that survived the Vietnamese army, which originally did not dare to open fire, naturally had a place to use again.

On the other hand, we also got an intelligence from the intelligence department, and the Vietnamese army made several actions at this time:

First of all, the second-line troops located outside Qingshuikou were transferred...... This unit was originally intended to be used as a follow-up force, but it was crushed by our artillery and unable to move forward outside the Qingshui Kou.

The second is to evacuate the wounded within the clear water mouth. The work was aborted after only half an hour, because the Vietnamese army found that the road at Qingshuikou was not wide enough, and if the wounded were withdrawn, it would lead to traffic jams, making it impossible for the Vietnamese follow-up troops and supplies to keep up.

From this point, it can also be seen that the Vietnamese army commander does not value the lives of the wounded, you must know that those wounded are heroes who have fought on the battlefield for the Vietnamese army, but for such a simple reason. It is not known how many wounded died in agony because of the delay in treatment.

Still, I can understand this decision. Because the Vietnamese commander is also very clear. Time is now life and victory.

There is no doubt about it. The Chinese army is definitely actively replenishing artillery shells now, and once the Chinese army has enough artillery shells to fight a battle, then the previous tragedy will happen again.

So, objectively speaking, this decision is still the right one...... At this time, if the heart softens and the wounded are withdrawn first, it is very likely that more wounded or more people will die in the next battle.

I believe that if I were in the position of the commander of the Vietnamese army, I would most likely have made the same choice as him.

The third is the active deployment of troops, especially artillery.

In terms of infantry, the Vietnamese army still had a numerical advantage even though it suffered heavy casualties...... The amount of troops they have invested in this battle is simply terrible. There are nearly 40,000 infantry alone, while our infantry has only more than 10,000 people.

What the Vietnamese army lacks is artillery, as well as transport capabilities and rapid strike capabilities.

It is easy to understand that the Vietnamese army must expand its gains or gain a foothold as much as possible before our artillery shells are replenished, and to achieve this, artillery fire reinforcements are necessary...... The Chinese soldiers did not have artillery shells, which meant that the Vietnamese artillery could be bombed with confidence, and the Vietnamese artillery had a large number of artillery shells destroyed and many shells were still stored in the ammunition depot and had not been used up, so they only needed to mobilize the artillery to complete the deployment of the artillery.

As for the rapid strike capability, that is, the Vietnamese army requires a quick victory, and they have the ability to project troops in the shortest possible time, no matter where they are. At the same time, they can also solve the problem of the deployment of tanks by Chinese soldiers in the direction of the 142 heights.

So the Vietnamese army transferred two troops. An artillery division, plus a motorized regiment. A motorized regiment formed with the help of the Soviets.

It is said that this motorized regiment is equipped with Soviet-style BMP infantry fighting vehicles, as well as several T72 tanks, which are obviously used against the tank units that our army has invested on the 142 heights. The reason why the Vietnamese army transferred only one regiment and not more was because the Vietnamese commanders were worried that too many tanks and vehicles would cause congestion on the roads.

It can be seen from this that the Vietnamese army is red-eyed, and they do not hesitate to invest their blood in order to recapture Laoshan.

"Battalion commander, what now?" Zhao Jingping asked.

In fact, this is a question in vain, what can I do without shells? I'm not a god who would turn into a bunch of cannonballs!

What's more, I command artillery instead of logistics troops, so it can be said that the current situation has nothing to do with me at all.

But the battlefield is like this, when fighting a war, it is not the time to find out whose responsibility it is, to say that the responsibility has nothing to do with the infantry on the front line, but they have to pay with their lives for it.

It's unfair to say it's not fair, it's really unfair to the front-line infantry, because they have to pay with their lives for the fault of others.

If you want to say that this is fair, the reality of the battlefield is a kind of fairness.

After thinking about it, I ordered: "Order all artillery to shift positions and prepare for battle, requiring that the shells be able to strike at the enemy as soon as they arrive!" ”

The reason for this order was given was that I believed that many artillery positions of our army had already been exposed.

You must know that we fired artillery for eight hours in a row, and an artillery regiment fired tens of thousands of shells, and the artillery positions were never shifted...... This is because we don't need to transfer at all, and if the Vietnamese army dares to find artillery, we will get rid of its artillery as soon as possible.

In this case, as long as the Vietnamese army has a few artillery observers staring at a high place, it is easy to calculate the location of our artillery positions and write them down one by one.

I believe that the first thing the Vietnamese artillery will do as soon as it is transferred is to strike at our artillery positions.

"Besides......" I continued, "I urge the logistics troops again, no matter what method is used, we must bring up the shells in the shortest possible time, even if it is half a base!" And give priority to the artillery battalion of the synthetic battalion! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Jingping responded.

Priority is given to the artillery battalion of the synthetic battalion...... This is not because there is any specialization, but because the artillery battalion of the composite battalion is used to fight the artillery units of the Vietnamese army.

It is conceivable that even if the entire artillery unit does not have shells, as long as the artillery battalion has shells, then at least the Vietnamese artillery can be rendered ineffective or only play a limited role.

But at the same time, I also know that it is useless to urge the logistics troops now, because the most anxious at this time is not our artillery, but the infantry on the front line.

So it's not difficult to imagine that Senior Commander Jiang is afraid that he will be scolded on the phone. (To be continued......)
