Chapter 171: The Battle of Laoshan (5)

This is actually a kind of asymmetric warfare.

Just as during the Falklands War, because the submarine and anti-submarine capabilities of the Argentine army were too weak, which directly affected the defeat of the navy and then the air force, our army has actually formed an asymmetrical posture against the Vietnamese army.

It's just that this asymmetry of ours is within the artillery...... Because our army has artillery sighting radar, the Vietnamese artillery almost does not pose a threat to us, so our cannons can be safely placed on the position or even close to the Vietnamese army's position to provide fire support to the infantry, which will undoubtedly affect the whole war.

"This may work!" After a long while, Wu Dengxiong nodded and said: "If we fight like this, I don't know what else the Yue devils can do to hit our cannon, after all, neither the enemy nor we have an air force to participate in the war!" ”

"I agree with this plan!" Staff Officer Lin agreed: "Of course, this has to be established under the condition that our army can suppress the Vietnamese artillery with absolute superiority!" ”

Staff Officer Lin was not at ease enough on this point, after all, according to previous experience, although our artillery could suppress the Vietnamese artillery, it never said that it could suppress the Vietnamese army's artillery and did not dare to shoot artillery.

"Don't worry!" Wu Dengxiong replied very confidently: "As long as the artillery sighting radar does not malfunction in those days, it will not be a problem to do this at all!" ”

Staff Officer Lin nodded, after all, the composite battalion had previously disabled two artillery regiments of the Vietnamese army with one battalion in just over an hour. Moreover, the two artillery regiments of the Vietnamese army were still scattered in more than ten artillery positions, which was almost impossible to do before.

"Then let's plan it out in detail!" Seeing that there was no objection from all sides, I pointed to the map and said, "The first thing is to complete the arrangement of the cannon." I think this arrangement should follow the following principles: One is that it must be far enough away from the Vietnamese army. It can successfully avoid the existing light and heavy machine guns, sniper rifles and other weapons of the Vietnamese army. The other one is better to be close enough. If the artillery can visually or directly observe the battle situation in the telescope, then it can take the initiative to detect the enemy's fire point and destroy the enemy's fire point in the first place. Another is that the number of artillery pieces must be sufficient, that is, it must be guaranteed that after the target is discovered, it can destroy the enemy target in a short time.

I think I'll leave it to you to complete these questions! ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Lin and Wu Dengxiong responded in unison, which was naturally a piece of cake for them, the artillery cadres.

"In terms of execution!" After thinking about it, I continued: "We should first transport the cannons and shells to the high ground of the first line. Of course, such transportation is best chosen at night, where the cannon can be disassembled and transported to the anticline and assembled for protection and camouflage. If necessary, it is also necessary to open up the way from the cannon hiding point to the hilltop position, and the artillery unit must be able to drag the cannon to the hilltop position in the shortest possible time once the battle begins. ”

"Yes!"

"Plus!" I continued: "We must think about minimizing the losses of the cannons, that is, destroying as much of the living force of the Vietnamese artillery as possible. Because obviously, it is not enough for us to have artillery sighting radar, because the will to fight is also very tenacious, and it is very likely that they will exchange mortars or howitzers for our cannons with the intention of death. You must know that it is not easy for our army to transport cannons to the high ground, and if we lose a few guns on the battlefield, it is very likely that it will take several days to fill this vacancy, and then we will lose our fighters. ”

Hearing this, Staff Officer Lin and Wu Dengxiong couldn't help but nod in agreement, the ruthlessness of the devils who fought was not fatal was known to everyone. So no one doubts that the Yue devil will do this.

"But ......" Staff Officer Lin frowned and asked, "What do you do?" ”

"Lure them out!" I said: "Give them a target, like a mortar man!" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Staff Officer Lin quickly understood.

"That is......" I added, "before our cannons moved to the position." There must be a process, and this process is the process of coordinating mortars and howitzers to clear the remaining artillery fire of the Vietnamese army. First of all, the mortar must also be outside the range of machine guns, etc., and expose itself to the Vietnamese army, this kind of provocation will force the Vietnamese army to fight back angrily...... Needless to say, as soon as the Vietnamese army opened fire, the artillery sighting radar would soon pick up its coordinates and strike at it destructively. It won't take long like this, and I'm afraid that there will be very little artillery left in the hands of the Yue devils.

Of course, these mortars, who are on the task of luring, should choose some clever ones, on the one hand, they must be more arrogant in front of the Yue devils, and on the other hand, they can quickly get out of danger when they are shelled by the Yue devils. ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Lin responded, and a trace of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes.

I think he probably didn't expect a person like me, who didn't know much about artillery, to be able to arrange a battle in such detail.

What he didn't know was that although I didn't know much about artillery, my experience on the battlefield gave me an idea of what and when artillery could play on the battlefield, and that was what a commander needed.

"How much time do I need to prepare?" I asked Staff Officer Lin.

These tasks, of course, were entrusted to the 4th Artillery Division.

"This ......" Staff Officer Lin was stunned for a moment and replied: "The specific amount of time required must be decided by the division headquarters after deliberation, but I think this time is not short. The reason is that the terrain around the old mountains makes it difficult for cannons to be used, so we don't have many cannons and not many shells. According to the current plan, we will need to replenish a large number of cannons and shells. Plus it also needs to be dismantled and transported to the high ground......"

"Hmm!" I interrupted Staff Officer Lin's words: "No matter how difficult it is, you only have three days to prepare!" ”

"Three days?!" Hearing this, Staff Officer Lin couldn't help but stare at the boss: "Battalion commander, this is too rushed!" ”

"It's not for me!" I said, "Because the battle to regain Lao Son will start in three days, if it takes more time...... I think you'll have to discuss with Master Jiang! ”

Staff Officer Lin's face couldn't help but change, he knew that it was impossible to change the time of this general attack, so this required them to complete this task within three days.

"I'll contact the division headquarters immediately!" After Staff Officer Lin saluted me, he rushed to the communications soldiers he had brought. (To be continued......)
