Chapter 44: Zheyin Mountain (9)
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod.
The characteristics of the bunker fortifications are like this, although it has the advantages of occupying important places, being strong, and having fierce firepower, but it also has the disadvantages of limited visual range, especially at the top, which is the blind spot of the bunker, so if our army descends from the top, then only when we reach the bunker before the Vietnamese army can see us.
Of course, it is very likely that what the Vietnamese army saw at that time was not us, but the grenades or explosives bags we stuffed in.
"It's easy." Zhao Jingping smiled: "It's just that we can't think of it!" ”
In fact, it is normal not to think of it, because under normal circumstances, we only have one rappelling in battle, and who would have thought that this time we would use a combination of helicopter rappelling and mountain rappelling.
"However, although the rappel can avoid the threat of the bunker fortifications, it is quite dangerous in itself." Then Zhao Jingping said to Scar: "Second Company Commander, you need to be prepared for this. ”
"Yes!" Scar answered.
Zhao Jingping is right, whether it is a helicopter or a mountain rappelling, although it can enable us to quickly reach the target position, in the process of rappelling, it is hung in the air without any protection, and this is undoubtedly the enemy's best target.
This is also the reason why we must have Chen Yiyi and others to open up a rope landing point on the ground when we carry out helicopter rappelling, and there is also this problem when we rappel from the top of the mountain to the Vietnamese army headquarters, which requires targeted training for this special agent company in Scar's hand.
But I believed Scar could do it well, so I let him do it.
Because the 51st Division was already prepared, the battle against Yinshan began in the early morning of three days.
In fact. The battle should have been said to have started last night.
The last month. The troops of the 51st Division carried out our original plan. That is, with the constant artillery bombardment, the Vietnamese army was confused, creating the false impression that our army was about to launch a large-scale offensive, but our army never attacked. After a long time, the Vietnamese army was so overwhelmed that they had delusions one after another, and they could not figure out when our army would launch an attack. By now, the Vietnamese troops, who were still panicked at first, have gradually become "smarter", they no longer take our army's actions seriously, and if we hit our artillery and toss our "feints," they will live their lives.
And this qiē. And that's exactly what we need.
So, last night, as usual, we launched another fierce artillery bombardment on Zheyin Mountain, and after the shelling, we continued to carry out a "large-scale troop movement" as usual.
It's just that unlike in the past, this time the "large-scale troop transfer" was real, and the Vietnamese army still did not regard this troop movement of our army as usual, so the troops of the two regiments of our army almost easily walked into Yinshan with flashlights.
Among them, there are also staff officers who think that we should not "turn on the flashlight" for fear that the devils will not know, but most people still think that we should do this.
The reason is that this is what we do when we are "feinting", even the headlights of the car are on...... The artillery fire in front of the Vietnamese devils has basically been blocked by our army's artillery radar, and we don't have to worry about the Vietnamese army's artillery coverage.
Master Xu believes that in this case, if we are uncharacteristically not turning on the flashlight and not turning on the lights. Undoubtedly, it is an act of not having three hundred taels of silver here, but it will arouse the suspicion of the Vietnamese army.
Master Xu's idea is of course correct, this person is afraid of developing a kind of "inertial thinking" in a habit. Just like the current Vietnamese army, they have become accustomed to our army's "flashlight" and "turning on the lights", and if they suddenly do not do this...... Then it is more likely that it will alarm the Vietnamese army.
It is true that the actions of our army did not arouse the suspicion of the Vietnamese army, which can be seen from the fact that there was not even a single flare fired on the Yin Mountain.
Of course, after our army enters Yinshan, the flashlight will be turned off...... Just kidding, if you go all the way to the direction of the devil with a flashlight, wouldn't it be too long to earn your own life.
Under the carelessness of the Vietnamese army...... To be precise, this is not the negligence of the Vietnamese army, but it should be said that the Vietnamese army fell for our "wolf" scheme. The price of the Vietnamese army is that two regiments of Chinese troops sneaked into Yinshan, and some even touched the position of dozens of meters in front of the Vietnamese military fortifications, but they were unaware.
The strategic thinking of Yinshan, the 51st Division's attacker, can be summed up in six words, that is, "surround and cut off the way of retreat."
These six words seem very ordinary, and it can even be said that they are actually the old tactics of our army, "interspersed with encirclement."
However, this time the "interspersed encirclement" is somewhat different from the previous interspersed encirclement, and it should be said that it is the same on the surface, but the essence is very different.
In the past, our army's "interspersed encirclement", for example, in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 79, many troops did not know the deployment of the Vietnamese army's troops, and they used "interspersed encirclement" as soon as they came up...... At this time, the excellent tactics left by the older generation of our army are "head-on breakthrough and flank outflanking" no matter what.
But war is a thing that focuses on God, not form.
If in terms of form, all the commanders of our army in 79 were not wrong, and they were interspersed with encirclement...... This is understandable when the Air Force is not put into use, and the simple army fighting back and forth is those tactics.
What they don't know, however, is that the older generation of our army is also particular about using this "interspersed encirclement," and that is, after the scouts have a large amount of reliable information, they send elite troops to "intersperse in place and intersperse to the point."
For example, when our volunteers were resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, they grasped the situation of the enemy in front of them and the US-ROK coalition forces, and learned that the ROK army had poor equipment, poor morale, and poor combat effectiveness, so it formulated the tactic of "picking up soft persimmons and pinching them" to intersperse.
To put it simply, when the US-ROK coalition forces were divided into left and right sides and marched together, the US army put it in and the ROK army used its main force to fight to the death on the ROK side...... So it artificially created a lone US soldier to go deep into the fighter, and then our army cut off the US army's logistics supply line by inserting it to the side in the process of chasing the South Korean army, and the US army, which is highly mechanized and relies on logistics supply, is most afraid of being cut off logistics, so in the face of our army's tactics, the wolf bèi who has been beaten to the ground again and again escaped. If it weren't for the fact that the U.S. military airdropped supplies with a large number of planes and forcibly broke through the encirclement of our army with a large number of tanks, I don't know how many U.S. troops would have been surrounded and annihilated by our volunteers.
Our army did not realize this in 79 years, that is, the basis of interspersing was to carry out "interspersed encirclement" according to local conditions according to local conditions after mastering a large amount of reliable information. As a result, there are many distressing situations...... There are constantly interspersed troops who fall into the ambush circle set up by the Vietnamese army long ago, and there are even cases of tank units being thrown into the sparse fields for interspersing.
This time, the "interspersed encirclement" of the 51st Division was different, and this plan was "godlike" to the military art of the older generation of our army.
First of all, in the grasp of intelligence, through the guò reconnaissance brigade, capture prisoners, reconnaissance troops of the 51st Division, and other aspects of a long period of time to collect, on the basis of which a plan of "encirclement and cut off the way of retreat" was formulated.
In fact, this is easy to understand, after grasping the intelligence, we can know which parts of the enemy are weaker and suitable for interspersing, so as to minimize the occurrence of all kinds of miscalculations that can affect the outcome of the entire battle or a large number of casualties.
Second, Division Commander Xu's plan is actually in line with our strategy of synthesizing and paralyzing the command system of the Vietnamese army.
As we said before, the weakness of the Vietnamese army on the Yin Mountain is that the components are complex, and it is difficult for the various parts to coordinate, once the command is knocked out by our army, it is very likely that they will fight separately, and it is in response to this that Division Commander Xu decisively decided to use the strategy of using multiple interspersed to cut off the connection between the various heights of the Yin Mountain.
It is conceivable that this will further emissary the Vietnamese army in Yinshan because they cannot coordinate and will eventually be eaten by our army piece by piece.
Therefore, the strength of several regiments of the 51st Division is actually very scattered...... The defense of Zheyin Mountain was mainly supported by five highlands, namely 1052.4, 1142, 1250, 11 and 41. Division Commander Xu's method of dividing and encircling was to use one or two companies as the main force to attack each high ground, and then the troops in squad and platoon units set up ambushes on the communication lines between the high grounds. Among them, the highlands between the two highlands, for example, the 1142 highlands are located between the 1052.4 highlands and the 1250 highlands, then the 1142 highlands are the key targets, and they should be taken down and resolutely defended as quickly as possible.
It is conceivable that once this battle is fought, the Vietnamese army will face a situation in which the enemy is embattled almost everywhere.
Of course, this is not something I need to care about, as a commander who cooperates with the 51st Division, I only need to understand some of these strategic ideas, and what I want to care about is how to defeat the Vietnamese army headquarters located on the 1142 heights.
Time jumped to five o'clock in the morning step by step, and as three red signal flares rose in the air, rows of cannonballs poured down on Zheyin Mountain again.
Of course, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the Vietnamese army as much as possible, but also to avoid shells from accidentally bombing their own people...... You must know that at this time, our army had two regiments of troops scattered in all corners of Zheyin Mountain. So there weren't too many shells on Yinshan.
I think that at this time, the Vietnamese army will only be afraid that they will be relieved, and they will think: Look, they are still playing us as before.
But what they didn't expect was that this time it couldn't be more real, and the shells that hit them were on the one hand to further clear the obstacles in front of us, and on the other hand, to hide the spiral slurry of our helicopters.
When the Vietnamese army found out about this, they were afraid that it was already too late. (To be continued......)
