"So how do we fix this?" Then Zhao Jingping raised a very realistic question. ∽↗
It should be said that this is not only a problem that we have to face this time, but every time the Vietnamese army uses "encirclement points to send reinforcements," we have to weigh it...... To save or not to save.
But this time it's a little different, because it's basically a trap set for us, just waiting for us to go and fall into the net.
After a while, Scar said: "Helicopter rescue should be ruled out, then we can only choose to start from 6." ”
Scar's words were quickly agreed by the cadres, because it was obvious that if the Vietnamese army had anti-aircraft missiles in their hands, as we had just analyzed, and there might be anti-aircraft missiles that had just been introduced from the Soviet Union, it would be difficult for helicopters to come in handy in this case.
If helicopters don't come in handy, then, as Scar says, there is only one way to rescue from 6.
At this time, the cadres, including Scar, were silent.
Because we all know that helicopters can be said to be the best tools for things like special operations, and other things such as car camouflage are impossible to achieve fast delivery and withdrawal like helicopters, but now helicopters cannot be used, and on the other hand, the Vietnamese army at the height of 1828 is ready for battle, so the space we can operate can be said to be very small.
But I don't think so......
"I think helicopters should be used." I say.
"How to solve the anti-aircraft missiles in the hands of the Vietnamese army?" Zhao Jingping objected: "Although we can't be sure whether the Vietnamese army really has a large number of anti-aircraft missiles in their hands, I don't agree to take this risk!" ”
"I don't agree either!" Division Commander Xu continued: "Although the comrades of the reconnaissance brigade are very important, the comrades of the synthetic battalion are equally important. This is the battlefield. We should proceed from the interests of the army as a whole. You can't do this kind of thing of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon. I think we have two options. One was that our infantry forcibly broke into the encirclement of the Vietnamese army and rescued the comrades of the reconnaissance company, and the other ...... It's about giving up! ”
The two choices that Master Xu said sounded a bit dry, but after thinking about it, I felt that they were actually very reasonable.
The reason is that the Vietnamese army is prepared, and it can even be said that it is waiting for the rabbit, so in this case, our agent company is actually not very different from ordinary troops, if there is any difference, that is, individual soldiers, coordination or experience are better, but in fact, the agent company is used as an ordinary army.
So. It's better to use ordinary troops to attack, anyway, the devils are ready to wait for us, so it's basically nonsense to talk about sneak attacks and surprise attacks.
If this does not work, then for the sake of the overall interests of the troops, they can only choose to give up.
But I don't think we have those two options.
"Here's what I think!" I pointed to the map and said, "We all know ...... The Yue Devil has prepared a lot of air defense missiles near the target, but at the same time we know that the number of such air defense missiles will not be very large, and even if there is a certain number, it will not be possible to equip the whole army. ”
Although the cadres did not understand the intention of what I said, they still nodded.
This is not difficult to understand, first of all, although the SAM air defense missile is quite cheap in terms of sex and effectiveness ratio, a thing that costs only 25,000 US dollars can pose a threat to a warplane that is millions or even tens of millions of dollars in the air. But $25,000 was not a small amount for the financially strapped Soviet Union at this time.
Secondly, in fact, the demand for anti-aircraft missiles on the battlefield between China and Vietnam is not very large...... The Air Force didn't go to war. And the Chinese side put the helicopters into battle only these two dozen or so of our synthetic battalion.
Because of these two factors, the Vietnamese army is likely to have only a limited number of anti-aircraft missiles in their hands.
"So!" I continued: "The Vietnamese army has set a trap for helicopters near the 1828 heights, which means that the vast majority of the anti-aircraft missiles they have are concentrated near the 1828 heights, let's look at it the other way around...... That is, the rest of the place is basically safe for helicopters! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Scar couldn't help but suddenly realize: "What does the battalion commander mean is that we use helicopters to land in other parts and rescue the reconnaissance company?" ”
"Not really!" I shook my head and said, "The reason is that we can only use this weakness once, and after using it once, the more devils will soon realize this mistake and find a way to remedy it, then the next time it will not be effective." ”
It is not difficult to understand this, if, as Scar said, we were to be thrown into a favorable position by helicopter as soon as we came up and suddenly attacked the Vietnamese army, the Vietnamese army would soon realize that we had seen through their plan and took advantage of the weakness of their excessive concentration of anti-aircraft missiles.
Then we were in trouble, because we still had to use helicopters to evacuate, while the Vietnamese army seemed to be able to follow us with cars or even Bien San-wheeled anti-aircraft missiles...... This is enough to make our military helicopters dare not make any moves.
"Yes, yes!" Scar quickly figured this out, nodded hurriedly, and said, "It's me who is quick to talk, and I should use this weakness to set up an evacuation point!" ”
"Yes!" I drew a circle on the map against the Vietnamese defense line and said: "Comrades know that the defense of the Vietnamese devils is like an eggshell, the outside and empty on the inside, which means ...... The further you go in, the safer it is, so I'm almost certain that it's safe to fly in the hinterland of the Vietnamese army. ”
The cadres nodded in agreement, most of the people here had fought the war in 79 years, and of course they knew that there were not even a few young and strong men in the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, all of them were old, weak, women and children.
"So!" I said: "I plan to set up the evacuation point in the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, and because the range of the anti-aircraft missile is three kilometers, I think it is best to control this distance to three kilometers in a straight line, so that the helicopter can escape the threat of the anti-aircraft missile!" ”
"Makes sense!" Scar nodded and said: "This means that after we join up with the reconnaissance company, we should go all out to break through to the hinterland of the Vietnamese army, that is, to the south, and the Vietnamese army should not be much prepared for this." ”
"Yes!" I said, "That's what I want to say, our position is in the north, and the shortest route to break out is from the north, and the south is getting deeper and deeper in a certain way...... In fact, it is indeed getting deeper and deeper, but the main forces of the Vietnamese army are all deployed in the border area, and the hinterland is at most some militias such as public security tuns, and they are not prepared, if we run around in it, they will be caught off guard. As soon as we reach the extraction point, a few kilometers is a matter of minutes for a helicopter! ”
After being silent for a while, Division Commander Xu nodded and said, "Although this method is a bit risky, it is much better than using infantry to attack. ”
I understand what Master Xu meant by "adventure...... The evacuation plan we have drawn up sounds very good, but we don't have accurate information about the mission of the Vietnamese army, as we said, that is, everything is based on "maybe" and "should".
Maybe a war can't be fought like this, especially since special operations generally have to be based on comprehensive intelligence...... What if a reinforcement army from the south rushed to the front to fill the gap? What if there were also anti-aircraft missiles in the hinterland of the Vietnamese army?
But we don't have a choice...... Now it is like fighting a fire, and when we have collected all this information, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company are afraid that they will not be able to hold on, and then we will have no need to rescue.
So sometimes the battlefield is actually more suitable for the saying: "Where there is a reward, there is a risk", that is, if we want to achieve decisive success, we must take a certain amount of risk.
"It's just a matter of solving the evacuation." Zhao Jingping answered: "How can we get in touch with the encircled reconnaissance company and take them out of the encirclement?" ”
It's also a little ridiculous to say, this time the formulation of the battle plan was pushed from the back to the front, just like Zhao Jingping said...... Settle the evacuation first, and then consider breaking out.
"We can choose to infiltrate!" Scar said, "Just like the rest of the warriors who went to reinforce them." ”
Master Xu shook his head: "I'm afraid that there will be difficulties." The reason is that the Vietnamese devils in the border area have already made some preparations, and our last few infiltrations have been discovered at the border and have suffered losses in vain. And even if it can successfully penetrate, because it can carry not much ammunition, it will want to help the reconnaissance company break through or even reach the evacuation point...... There will be great difficulties. ”
What Division Commander Xu said is really a problem, even if we are an extraordinary agent company, but it does not mean that infiltration can be infiltrated, not to mention that we have to fight all the way into the encirclement of the Vietnamese army and join the reconnaissance company, and then we have to carry the reconnaissance company that can almost be said to be exhausted to fight out of the encirclement and reach the evacuation point, ammunition will undoubtedly be a big problem.
"We don't infiltrate!" I said without being shocked: "We are fighting!" ”
"Hit it?" Master Xu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
If you infiltrate the past, there is still a possibility of success, and if you blatantly fight through it, it is a question of whether you can reach the destination.
"Where?" Zhao Jingping asked.
"Here!" I pointed a point on the map.
The eyes of the crowd widened when they saw this point, because the location I was referring to was not somewhere else, but the 1828 Heights.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Division Commander Xu smiled bitterly and said, "You may not know what kind of troops the Vietnamese army is stationed on this 1828 height? It's not that simple to get through. ”
I really don't know what kind of unit this 3O8 Division is, but I don't think it can be easily defeated.
