Chapter 127: Tong Mian

"Are you going to ...... Interspersed where? The commander asked, handing me a cigarette.

I took the cigarette, took out a match, lit it for the commander by the way, and then pointed to the map and said, "Interspersed here...... 518.6 Highlands! ”

"Tell me why!" The commander asked, at this time he seemed to have completely thrown himself into my jihua.

"The 518.6 highlands form an iron triangle with the 481 highlands and the 544 highlands!" I said, "In other words, Heights 518.6 is the rear wing of the whole of Banwang. This highland is special...... The straight-line distance from the first two highlands is exactly about 3 kilometers, which is ...... It is exactly the maximum range of a light mortar. So...... I'm going to take a mortar company with me, all armed with heavy mortars. ”

THE LIGHT MORTAR MENTIONED HERE IS A MORTAR WITH A CALIBER OF LESS THAN 100MM MM, THAT IS, WE OFTEN CALL 60 GUNS AND 82 GUNS, THE FORMER HAS A RANGE OF ABOUT 1500 METERS, AND THE LATTER HAS A RANGE OF ABOUT 3000 METERS. HEAVY MORTARS ARE MORTARS WITH A CALIBER OF 100MM OR MORE, WITH A MAXIMUM RANGE OF 5,500 TO 6,500 METERS.

Of course, the Vietnamese army will also have heavy mortars, but the troops will have a convention on the battlefield, that is, all kinds of weapons are a combination of light and heavy. The reason is that heavy weapons and light weapons have their own strengths and weaknesses that can complement each other's shortcomings, such as this light and heavy mortar...... The advantage of light mortars is that they are light in weight, easy to move, and convenient for ammunition transportation, and it is obvious that light mortar shells will be transported more with the same weight of shells, while heavy mortars have the advantage of long range and fierce firepower, but there will be inconveniences in both ammunition supply and moving positions.

So don't think about it. The mortar battery of the Vietnamese army must also be a combination of light and heavy mortars. If we occupy the 518.6 heights...... Then its unique geographical location will make all the light mortars of the Vietnamese army instantly ineffective. And heavy mortars are easily suppressed by our army because of the small amount of equipment.

Of course, the commander also knows what is at stake. I couldn't help but nod and said, "This is a reason!" ”

"Another reason!" I continued: "It's that the 518.6 high ground is relatively safe at the back, so I estimate that Tong Mian County under the corner of the mountain is likely to be a supply base for the Vietnamese army. If yes...... Then, on the one hand, we carried out a feint attack on the first two heights, which consumed a lot of ammunition of the Vietnamese army. On the other hand...... and unprepared for a surprise attack on its supply base...... Whether it is captured or blown up, it will deal a heavy blow to the ammunition supply of the Vietnamese army! ”

"You guessed it right!" The army commander nodded and said, "Tongmian County is indeed the supply base of the Vietnamese army!" ”

So I knew, about the Banwang area...... The commander knows a lot more than I do.

However, it doesn't seem surprising that the information I got was either given by Commander Zhang or from the front-line soldiers...... But the commander's information was obtained through scouts and even spies, so naturally there would be much more than I knew.

"But ......" followed by the commander's words as if pouring cold water on me: "Do you know where the other battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Vietnamese Army is?" ”

"Could it be...... In tung cotton? ”

Before, I only knew that the two battalions of the 5th Regiment of the Vietnamese Army were stationed on Heights 481 and 544 respectively. The other battalion didn't know where it was, and I always thought it wasn't in Banwang.

The commander nodded solemnly: "It's in Tongmian!" The distribution of troops of the Vietnamese army is as follows: two battalions of the 5th Regiment are stationed on the 481st and 544th heights, two companies of the Public Security Tun are stationed on the 518.6th height, and one battalion is stationed at the Tongmian level, and they rotate with the Vietnamese troops on the 481st and 544th heights at intervals...... Its purpose is to carry out mechanized training while fighting! ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, I suddenly realized, I had heard Commander Zhang say that the 320th Division of the Vietnamese Army was reorganizing its mechanized infantry division with the help of the Soviet Union, and I thought that they were also transferred back to the rear for training like our army, but I didn't expect that they were still rotating on the front line for training.

But this also seems normal. The strength of our army is several million...... It's not too easy to rotate the rear with the front. But what about the Vietnamese army...... Although there are more than one million, it is also claimed that all the people are soldiers. But it has to fight on two fronts. Therefore, the lack of troops directly led to the fact that Vietnam could only fight and reorganize on the front line, and even had to transfer the militia of the public security tun to transit.

But now it's a big problem for me...... You know, my entire jihua is based on being able to quickly penetrate the Banwang area and take the 518.6 heights, which I originally thought would only have two Vietnamese militias...... We interspersed our troops, tank company, mortar company, plus two well-trained infantry companies, and attacked from behind...... It's not too easy to take the 518.6 heights.

But now...... Suddenly, there was another battalion in the Tongmian commune at the foot of the mountain...... And it is also a mechanized infantry battalion, although I don't know if they have formed combat effectiveness, but weapons and equipment should always be there.

So it seems that we are once again in a dead end!

But at this time, no one dared to say cool things, including Staff Officer Xu...... Because everyone knows a little from the change in the military commander's attitude towards me: the military commander is interested in my Jihua, but because I don't know enough information, this Jihua has a little flaw.

But then again, it doesn't matter if you have enough information on the battlefield, or if it's a little flawed...... The battlefield is the most realistic, and the slightest flaw can turn the entire seemingly perfect jihua into a pile of waste paper.

For example, now...... How was my interspersed unit able to defeat a mechanized infantry battalion of the Vietnamese army plus two militia companies in the Ann Antun Tun?

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the 320th Division of the Vietnamese Army is not weak, even the two companies of Gong'an Tun are condescending on the high ground, and if they cooperate well, it will undoubtedly make us uncomfortable. Not to mention the fact that our army will also have to solve the battle in a short time...... Otherwise, our army will face a situation where there is no danger to defend......

"Young man!" Seeing that I was frowning and embarrassed, the commander patted me on the shoulder and said, "You can't be blamed for this matter, there are some circumstances...... We also had reservations when reporting at the Xiangshang level, and according to the information you got, this Jihua is indeed a good Jihua, and the unit you trained is just right...... It's not a war! ”

After a pause, the commander continued, "To be honest, I've heard about this synthetic battalion under your command before...... I don't agree with your multi-service training style either. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is very difficult for such a unit to command, and if it is not careful, it will have the opposite effect. Now it seems...... Sometimes it's really necessary......"

"Commander!" I didn't listen to the commander, but interrupted him: "I have another idea! ”

"Oh, the young man still doesn't admit defeat!" The commander couldn't help but hahadaxiao, this attitude was obviously the same as when he first met me before.

"Tell me about it...... the commander took out a cigarette and held it in his hand, and said, "Anyway, we don't have any other good way now, your idea is still good!" ”

"My solution is to lure the snake out of the hole!" I pointed to the map and said, "The false target is here...... Luping, the enemy must be saved, Tongmian's 320th Division is forming mechanized infantry, isn't it? The key to mechanized infantry is to be mobile quickly...... I think that the Vietnamese army will not give up this opportunity to try their skills, and they boast that the Banwang defense line is unbreakable, so they will be very relieved to send Tongmian garrison to Luping for reinforcements, so Tongmian will become an empty city! ”

As soon as I said this, the commander was stunned, and he forgot to light the cigarette in his hand.

After a long while, Staff Officer Xu whispered, "Commander, I see this Jihua line...... First, Luping is not far from Aidian, only 13 kilometers. Second, Luping is the gateway to Langshan, as long as Luping is taken...... It will be able to cut off the connection between Vietnam's coastal defense and Lang Son, first, to prevent the enemy from reinforcing each other, and second, our army can go to the right and go straight to Lang Son along the road...... That's how we fought in the counterattack war, and the Yue devil has been scared by us and turned into a frightened bird, so if we fight Lu Ping again, ......

"The more devils will think that we are going to attack Lang Son again!" The other staff officers nodded and discussed:

"Maybe you'll think we're going to fight back in self-defense!"

"Yes! In this way, the Yue devils will definitely panic and transfer Tongmian's mechanized infantry to Luping! ”

"The most important thing is ...... The location of Luping is at the top of the triangle between Banwang and Aidian, and the reinforcement route of the Vietnamese army does not overlap with the interspersed route of our army! ”

"Yes! So ...... If the timing is in place, it will be that the Vietnamese army has just come out of Tongmian, and our army will almost arrive at Tongmian! ”

……

The commander stared at the map for a long time, as if he was recalling every detail of my jihua and trying to find some loopholes...... But after looking and looking for it, he couldn't find it, so Zuihou nodded slightly.

The staff officers and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, knowing that the commander had agreed with me in this battle.

"Young man!" The commander raised his head, his fierce gaze shot at me like a sword, and said, "The key to this battle...... That is, whether your synthetic battalion has a way to intersperse in place, whether there is a way to quickly take the 518.6 heights, and whether there is a way to choke the throat of the 320th Division until the Vietnamese army in the Banwang area collapses...... Are you confident? ”

"Report to the chief!" I stepped forward and replied, "Have faith!" ”

Just kidding, that's okay if you don't have confidence in the answer...... Don't fight this battle, I'll take the troops back to Beijing in a gloomy way!

"Okay, just have faith!" The commander nodded again and again: "Then...... Let's study the detailed combat jihua! Neither troops nor ammunition are a problem...... Plus one more artillery regiment and one base ammunition! (To be continued......)
