PS: It's the New Year, comrades! The soldiers wish everyone a happy New Year and success!

"This is Xie Leming, the commander of the first company of the second battalion of the 505th regiment......" I introduced to Zhao Jingping and a few people: "Comrade Xie Leming's unit is the unit stationed on the 207 high ground to confront the Vietnamese army, and he has also participated in the battle to attack Banwang, he is familiar with the battlefield situation, let's let him talk about the situation in Banwang!" ”

Because I was worried that there would always be some gaps in the things I wrote down, I invited Xie Leming to the training base, and of course Xie Leming would not have an opinion on this...... First, because there was no war on the 207 Heights during this period of time, and secondly, because we knew that we were fighting Banwang's idea...... Then where will there be a reason for unhappiness.

Later I learned that Banwang is a place ...... However, there was too much blood and tears left behind by the soldiers, and Xie Leming's company only participated in one attack and lost more than half, so you can imagine how many casualties this regiment will have in several strong attacks.

"Hello comrades, good chiefs!" Xie Leming looked a little reserved...... This is also a common problem of cat ear piercing people, who can talk about everything and nothing with their comrades on the battlefield, and even wear clothes "calmly relatively...... But as soon as you get back in the back and put on your clothes, it always feels like you're separated by something.

To put it simply, you are used to staying in an abnormal place, and you will feel abnormal when you return to a normal place.

The instructor was a very careful person, and after he felt Xie Leming's unnaturalness, he handed him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "So what are you doing, the people sitting here have all been in battle, and they are all rough people...... You're still biting the word Wenjue with us! ”

There was a bang. The staff officers laughed. King Chuang also easily threw a cigarette to Xie Leming. said: "Speak slowly...... Anyway, we're not in a hurry, it doesn't matter if the Yue devil lives for a few more minutes! ”

The fighters were amused again, and Xie Leming quickly relaxed.

After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Xie Leming sighed and said, "I don't want to grow the morale of others to destroy my own prestige, but it is really not so easy to win this Banwang......

Xie Leming frowned while smoking a cigarette and pointed to the map and said, "Comrades, look at this Banwang...... Don't underestimate the fact that there are only a few highlands that come and go here, but these highlands eat people and don't spit out bones, and we all call them 'tiger teeth'! ”

"Weishenme will be called 'Huya'?" I asked, a little strangely.

"It's called 'Huya'!" Xie Leming said: "One is meant to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth, and the other is ...... These highlands look like 'tiger teeth'. Battalion Commander Yang, you may not be able to see clearly from this side, but if you hit it, you will know from the side...... These highlands are really fucking weird, and there are steep cliffs everywhere on our side, and there are rocks everywhere, and the slope on the east and west sides is about 70 to 80 degrees...... The only thing is that the side of the more devils is very gentle, like tiger teeth hooked upside down towards us! ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, the soldiers suddenly realized that this is really very appropriate to describe as a tiger's tooth.

"And ......," Xie Leming took a puff of cigarette and continued: "There are still many natural caves on the side of the Yue Devil on these highlands, and after we hit them, we found more than 30 large and small caves in less than one square kilometer, plus trees, grasses and vines...... It's a natural bunker complex! ”

"No wonder several regiments of the brother army couldn't take turns to attack!" Zhao Jingping said: "It turns out that these highlands are difficult for us to attack and defend, but for the Yue devils, they are easy to attack and defend!" ”

"This comrade said this to my heart!" Xie Leming nodded and said: "Banwang is difficult for our army to attack and defend...... Attack it. Not to mention the steep terrain, there are protruding rocks everywhere. The devil blew up this shell casually, and the stone shot at our head like shrapnel. Defend it...... This place is not a place for people at all, and sometimes you can't find a place to lie down! So we have to continue to retreat and retreat to Heights 207 to defend it! Otherwise, within a few days, a company would have been wiped out! ”

After a pause, Xie Leming continued: "On the other hand, the devil is more comfortable, we sacrificed a lot of people to attack, and when we saw that there was no one, they were all hiding in the hole, and we were killed and injured when a bunch of shells came...... The more devils hid in the hole and reported the coordinates to the artillery, and the shells were accurate one by one, and when the shells blew us up in a mess, the more devils came out and beat us again...... It's not bad that half of us will come back alive! ”

Listening to Xie Leming's words, we couldn't help but gasp...... With such terrain, let alone attacking, we don't dare to ask for it even if the devil gives it to us...... After coming, the more devils can knock us down with a relaxed burst of artillery fire and another charge, and we are helpless.

So...... It is not without reason that it will become the only place on the Sino-Vietnamese border that has been broken into the country by Vietnamese troops for 4 kilometers, and it will become a great shame for China.

I found out later...... This incident occurred against the background that the Chinese army attacked Vietnam on all fronts and made Vietnam powerless, so the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 460th Regiment of the 338th Division of the Vietnamese Army, who was the first to lead the team to break into China, became famous...... The Vietnamese propaganda was: "The heroic third battalion commanded the troops to attack China 4 kilometers and reach as far as 5 kilometers...... This greatly boosted the fighting spirit of the Vietnamese military and civilians! ”。

So the commander of the 3rd Battalion soon became a national hero of Vietnam, and then he was promoted all the way, and Zuihou was even promoted to the commander of the Lang Son Provincial Military District......

In fact, the 3rd Battalion fought against a company and a militia company of our army in this terrain and with the support of artillery at the regimental level, and it fought for three days and two nights.

This is simply unimaginable to us today...... How could a company of regular army plus a company of militia hold on to such terrain for three days and two nights?

Of course, this can be said that our soldiers are very brave, but on the other hand, it also shows that the 3rd Battalion of the 338th Division actually does not have much combat effectiveness...... Strictly speaking, the commanders of these three battalions should be scolded for fighting like this under such circumstances, but for the sake of propaganda or to set an example, Vietnam has praised this incompetent battalion commander as a national hero.

The messy things in Vietnam are not what I need to care about, what I need to care about is how to pull the hard nail of Banwang off this map!

"What is the deployment of the Vietnamese army?" I asked with a calm face.

"Here's the basically!" Xie Leming pointed to the map and said: "The main force of the Vietnamese army is the two battalions of the 5th Regiment of the 320th Division, which are stationed on the 481 and 544 heights on both sides of the road, and there is also a 518.6 high ground in the back, on which two companies are stationed in Luping County Public Security Tun. Among them, the 481 highlands and 544 highlands are the commanding heights of the Banwang area, and occupying these two highlands can not only firmly lock the only way to the hinterland of Banwang...... Moreover, it is possible to control an area of 20 kilometers around it with artillery fire, and the geographical location is very important. Although this section of the road is not wide and in poor condition, it is connected to Highway 4 in Vietnam...... The strength and supplies of the Vietnamese army were easily transported to the front line by this road! ”

Zhao Jingping nodded, sighed heavily, and said, "We built this road...... This was during the Vietnamese struggle against France and the United States...... Our army built a secret passage to aid Vietnam! ”

"Fuck it!" As soon as Zhao Jingping said this, the staff officers scolded:

"The road we built has now become a supply line for the devils!"

"In the past, we used this road to transport grain and weapons to Vietnam, but now they use this road to transport bullets and shells to hit us!"

……

So there was a lot of scolding in the office...... But what's the use of being angry? The reality is already like this, you can't let the Yue devil spit out all the food he ate before...... Besides, even if we let history repeat itself, we knew that Vietnam would fight us in the future, and we might still have to come to Vietnam's aid in that situation, for a simple reason...... The enemy of the enemy is his friend, and Vietnam is just changing its role a little too quickly.

So I interrupted the soldiers' scolding and continued to ask, "How is the defense of the Vietnamese army?" ”

"Well...... Xie Leming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then pointed at the map indiscriminately: "There are mines here, and here are barbed wire...... There's a fire point here, and there's a ...... here."

This is said here and there, and we are only confused.

"Here's the basically!" King Chuang took over and said: "The Vietnamese army took advantage of the unique terrain conditions of Banwang to build a large number of hidden forts, concealment departments, tunnels, trenches, and cantonment caves on the anti-slope plane according to the caves, and connected them with communication trenches, and even the villages and houses near the highway were also transformed into firepower points, and all the fortifications and firepower points echoed each other, forming a multi-level three-dimensional crossfire network such as far, near, front, side, upper, middle, and lower. A large number of anti-infantry, anti-tank mines, multi-layer barbed wire, bamboo sticks, traps and other obstacles are laid at the key points of the road, and the defense is very tight, and it is very difficult to attack! ”

Hearing King Chuang's words, Xie Leming couldn't help but be stunned...... He did know what the fortifications of the Vietnamese army were, but he didn't know how to describe it like King Chuang...... I'm afraid that's the difference between whether you've ever studied in step school or not!

But whether it is what Xie Leming said or what King Chuang described...... All point to one point: that is, the defense line laid by the 320th Division of the Vietnamese Army can be said to be unheard of and tight. This made me feel like I was not holding a map in front of me, but a hedgehog...... A hedgehog covered in spikes, a hedgehog that I can't figure out! (To be continued......)
