Chapter 118: Cold Gun Cold Gun Movement
"Battalion commander!" On this day, as soon as I walked into the battalion headquarters, Zhao Jingping handed me a telegram: "The Soviet army is getting tighter and tighter on our supply line!" The strength of the army has been increased from one battalion to one regiment, and more than 10 helicopter gunships have been dispatched to cooperate with the ground troops to jointly implement the blockade...... Let's see if we're going to send some more troops over! ”
I didn't answer, I took the telegram and glanced at it, and asked rhetorically as I walked into the battalion headquarters, "Did Chen Qiaoqiao ask for support?" ”
"This ...... Not really! ”
"Hmm!" I nodded secretly, this Chen Qiaoqiao still suits my liking when he fights.
"Battalion commander......" Seeing this, Zhao Jingping was a little puzzled: "What do you mean...... We don't send reinforcements? The Soviets had a regiment, and there were helicopters...... We don't even have a full battalion! ”
"That's why we can't send reinforcements!" I said, "We are fighting guerrilla warfare...... A small number of people makes it more flexible and easier to conceal, plus we do not have effective anti-aircraft equipment in our hands...... A large number of people does not have much effect, but increases the danger to which our army is exposed! ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he couldn't be blamed for this...... Although our army has a tradition of fighting guerrilla warfare, it has not fought a war for decades, and a recent battle in Vietnam was still "killing chickens with a knife", using absolutely superior forces to deal with the guerrilla warfare of the Vietnamese army, and now the Soviet army is attacking the supply line that has a great impact on the Hijieo Valley...... That's why Zhao Jingping took it for granted that reinforcements should be sent.
Chen Qiaoqiao is different...... In the decades that our Chinese army has not been fighting, the Vietnamese army has not been idle...... They have been fighting with France, the United States, and more recently with China, and they have used guerrilla warfare. Therefore, Chen Qiaoqiao, who used to be the commander of the Vietnamese army's secret service company, can be said to have rich experience in this regard. This is also the reason why I know that as a woman, there is a high probability that she will be somewhat estranged from the Afghan guerrillas. But the reason why he insisted on letting her go south to open up the supply lines of our army...... I knew early on that this battle would have to be solved by guerrilla warfare!
I think Chen Qiaoqiao has understood this, so she didn't ask us for reinforcements.
"I agree with the battalion commander!" The instructor continued, "I also don't think it's appropriate for us to send reinforcements to the southern front...... Although it is said that these mountain roads determine the lifeblood of our army, they ...... Wouldn't this be another strategy of the Soviet army to 'lure the snake out of the hole'...... The Soviet army increased its forces to one regiment, and if we add one battalion, then what about another regiment for the Soviet army? Are we going to continue to add troops to the supply lines? There are 100,000 Soviet devils, and the lost troops can be replenished from home immediately, but what about us? Go on like this...... Our vitality will be slowly transferred out of the valley by the Soviet army. And then destroy them one by one! ”
The instructor was very insightful in his analysis...... So don't look at the instructor who is not good at fighting, but he still has a set of strategies!
"Battalion commander, instructor!" Zhao Jingping frowned and replied, "What you said is right...... But...... Are we just going to watch the Soviets cut off our supply lines again? Like the battalion commander said last time...... Winter is coming soon, if we don't have enough supplies in stock...... I can't even get through this winter! ”
"It's not as bad as you think!" I smiled and patted Zhao Jingping on the shoulder and said, "You should have some confidence in Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao!" ”
"I am very clear about Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao's ability, and I am also very confident!" Zhao Jingping said: "But this ...... The disparity between friend and foe is too great......"
Zhao Jingping is in charge of logistics and supply, so he is concerned about chaos!
"Here's what I think......" I said, pointing to the map on my desk, "There are more than a dozen mountain roads connecting the Shigio Valley, and that's not counting the more reinforced, more remote and dangerous roads...... So even if the Soviet army had a regiment, this regiment was divided by these dozen mountain roads...... There is not even one in each direction of the mountain road! And Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao has a battalion in his hands! ”
"Oh!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said, "We can use centralized play to disperse!" ”
"That's just one aspect!" I said: "The essence of guerrilla warfare...... It's just a shot to change places. Never go head-to-head with the enemy...... These more than ten mountain roads gave us this opportunity...... We are controlling the mountain roads for the past few days, and we are controlling these mountain roads...... The supply team was notified to transport them to these mountain roads. As soon as the supply team passes, we can lose these mountain roads, and then take control of those mountain roads by surprise...... In this way, the Soviet army will lose sight of one or the other, even if it has several times more troops than us and a powerful air force, there is nothing we can do! ”
"Battalion commander......" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping couldn't help but admire: "It turns out that you have already thought of countermeasures!" Don't tell me about it...... I'm in a hurry! ”
The instructor laughed and said, "Who makes you think about things slower than others...... Behold! Not only the battalion commander has already figured it out, but Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao has also figured out how to fight! Otherwise, Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao would not have asked for reinforcements until now...... This is called the same thing that heroes see! ”
The instructor was right...... Having subordinates like Chen Qiaoqiao on the battlefield sometimes feels like luck...... If she had been ruthless on the battlefield and collapsed, now she would have lost a capable assistant!
"But for the sake of safety,......" Zhao Jingping said, "I think it is still necessary to talk to Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao about this tactic, or we can exchange opinions...... Learn from each other! ”
"Hmm!" Of course, I agree with this, and immediately nodded to Zhao Jingping and said, "I'll leave this matter to you......
"Besides......" I suddenly said as if I remembered something: "Tell Comrade Chen Qiaoqiao...... The pressure is temporary, and we will soon make a move in the north, harassing the Soviets from the south and the north, so that they will not please either side...... At that time, the pressure on the south side will naturally be less! ”
"Oh...... The action in the north? Hearing this, Zhao Jingping became interested again: "The battalion commander is saying...... Sniper units in Afghanistan are about to be sent to the battlefield? ”
"Hmm!" I nodded: "And not just sniper units, but also mortar units...... This is our cold gun cold artillery campaign on the battlefield in Afghanistan! ”
"Cold Gun Cold Gun Movement?!" Of course, instructors and Zhao Jingping are no strangers to this, because that is our glorious tradition on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, especially the instructors...... I don't know how many times they said it in politics class, but they didn't expect that the modern war fought on the battlefield in Afghanistan could still use the tactics of decades ago......
"It's a cold gun and a cold gun movement!" I said, "Don't you think that our current situation is very similar to the comparison between the volunteers and the US army during the period to resist US aggression and aid Korea?" ”
"That's what the battalion commander said...... I think it's true! Zhao Jingping nodded in amazement and said, "Why didn't I think of it?" When Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea...... It is also the US military that has air supremacy, and it is also the US military that has a powerful artillery ...... And the vast majority of the volunteers are individual equipment! ”
"Yes!" The instructor said with a little contemplation: "And the terrain of North Korea and Afghanistan is very similar...... It's all mountainous, and the enemy also has a puppet army! ”
"The difference is ......," I said to them: "At that time, the U.S. military basically had no supply problems, and their supplies were constantly transported from the sea to South Korea, so the cold guns and cold artillery movements of the volunteers were mainly aimed at striking at the enemy's vital forces, and the purpose was to turn a small victory into a big victory." But now...... The Soviet army is no better than the American army of that year...... Afghanistan is a landlocked country, and the terrain is very complex and difficult to transport, so ...... Our current cold gun and cold artillery campaign can be aimed at the supply lines of the Soviet army! ”
"Great idea!" The instructor nodded and said, "While the Soviet army is striking at our supply lines...... I'm afraid that they didn't expect that their own supply line is also a weakness, and their own supply line will also have a situation where heavy snow will close the mountain! ”
"Yes!" I said, "Although the Soviets' supply lines are much more powerful than ours, they also need to supply more troops...... So they face the same problems as we do...... If you don't store enough food or ammunition for the winter, this winter will be in danger, let alone attacking the Higio Valley! ”
"This is what you can do!" The instructor said, "And...... If we can also spread this tactic to other guerrilla groups, and mobilize the guerrillas throughout Afghanistan to harass the Soviet supply lines...... At that time, the Soviet army was afraid that it would be busy! ”
This is the habit of the instructor...... No matter what, they will think about calling on and mobilizing all Afghan guerrillas...... This idea is certainly good and feasible in China...... The reason is that our people and our army are all in one voice.
But in Afghanistan...... The guerrillas are basically fighting on their own, and even a considerable part of the guerrillas only care about their own interests, and they still wish that the Soviet army would focus all their attention on our Shigio Valley! So I don't think that kind of call will have much impact!
"But......" Zhao Jingping hesitated, and then said: "The sniper unit formed by the guerrillas...... Most of the rifles used today are old bolt rifles, which have a long range but are too old to be accurate...... This is used to fight cold guns cold gun movement is not ......"
"That's why I transferred a batch of Type 79 sniper rifles from China!" I interrupted Zhao Jingping's words and said, "This batch of rifles is almost here in the next few days...... It's not as good as the SVD, but it's much better than the old rifles of those decades ago! (To be continued......)
