Chapter 183: The Battle of Laoshan (17)

Due to the urgency of time, the attack on the 1072 heights was then launched at the division headquarters.

In fact, the reason why it was deployed at the division headquarters was not entirely because of the urgency of time, but more importantly, because the division headquarters happened to be the command center of the infantry, and then coupled with me, the direct superior who could command the artillery and was also the special service company, it was very convenient to integrate all kinds of forces to achieve more efficient and faster coordination among the various arms.

On the other hand, it's because time is too tight...... It was already half past two o'clock in the afternoon when we decided on this plan, and it was the rainy season in Vietnam at this time, and although it was not raining today, it was overcast, and it was conceivable that it would be dark at five o'clock, and then the attack on our troops would add another unfavorable factor.

In this way, we only have two and a half hours, and in those two and a half hours, we have to complete all the steps of planning, communicating, preparing, marching, fighting, etc.

If there is any ill-planned or informative problem, it is likely to bring a disastrous blow to the whole operation.

From this point of view, it is also necessary for me to jointly command this operation with Division Commander Jiang and others at the command headquarters, and even plan the next step while commanding.

The first is, of course, to inform the agent company to be ready for battle.

Considering the difficulty and importance of this mission, this mission was carried out by Scar with thirty Secret Service Company fighters.

The reason why only thirty fighters of the secret service company were brought was due to three considerations.

First, the number of helicopters should not be too large under such circumstances, otherwise a group of helicopters will fly overwhelmingly towards Laoshan, which has not yet been completely controlled by our military. Obviously, there will be a lot of danger.

Second, there should not be too many combatants.

You must know that this battle has to climb from the cliff to the 1072 heights. If there is a crowd of people hanging on the cliff in the dark. That would soon attract the attention of the Yue Devil.

Third, there is no need for too many combatants.

This is evident that the Vietnamese army did not have many defenders on the 1072 heights, only a reinforced company. Our army that attacked this high ground also had a reinforced company, but because the terrain of the 1072 high ground was very dangerous, our army could not attack it. It is conceivable that at this time, if another platoon of special agent companies is killed behind the Vietnamese army, it will soon cause chaos in the Vietnamese army's position.

Another preparation we had to make was to open a rappelling point on the eastern side of the old mountain where the agent company could land safely.

You must know that we are directly in a clue line, and the location to be claimed is still full of grass and dense forests, in case there are more devils lurking in these dense forests and grasses. The Secret Service Company's rappel would soon turn into a self-defeating trap.

Of course, this step was arranged by Division Commander Jiang, and it did not seem difficult to do this, because the development of the war on the eastern side of Lao Shandong was still relatively smooth, and the three battalions responsible for attacking the eastern side had already occupied various heights of the Vietnamese army and turned to the defense at this time, and Division Commander Jiang only needed to give an order to go down, let them search for a remnant enemy in detail, and send a small detachment to open a safe rope landing point.

"Ready!" It didn't take long for a staff officer surnamed Wu to find a point on the map and said: "The rope landing point is here, on the east side of Heights 54, the soldiers of the second platoon of the Eighth Company will be there to meet you!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded. The coordinates were immediately conveyed to Scar, who had been prepared for a long time.

The three helicopters set off quickly, and it should be said that the front-line infantry found this rappelling point was still very suitable...... The east side of Heights 54. Although the distance from the 1072 Heights will consume some marching time, this position is relatively safer because of the blocking of the 54th Heights, and it can even be said that if the direction and altitude of the helicopters are accurate, the Vietnamese troops on the 1072 Heights will not be easy to see these helicopters.

This made the secret service company's suo descend very smoothly, and ten minutes later, I heard Scar's report: "Suo descend Shun lì, our army has joined forces with the Eighth Company!" ”

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, what I was most worried about in this plan was that the helicopter would be attacked by the Vietnamese devils...... If you don't fight this thing, you can just let the Yue devil hold the AK47 and shoot it for a while, which may destroy the plane and kill people, but fortunately this scene didn't happen.

What I don't know is that in fact, the helicopter did not have smooth sailing in the process of flying to the No. 54 heights, after all, at this time, our army had just taken the high ground on the east side of Laoshan, and there were still many remnants of the Yue devils in the forest who would risk attacking our helicopters, including two rockets fired at the helicopters.

But fortunately, the accuracy of rockets has never been high, and there will be strong air currents around the helicopter because of the high-speed rotation of the propeller, so the two rockets fired at the helicopter did not hit, and the Vietnamese rocket launcher shooter was killed by our sniper instead.

"Move towards 1072 Heights now!" I looked at my watch and ordered, "Hurry, make sure to get to Rally Point 2 within an hour!" ”

"Yes!" Scar answered.

This is the hell of a place in Vietnam, especially this Lao Son ...... The distance in a straight line calculated on the map is only a few hundred meters, but the actual road has to be walked for an hour.

Although I was in the headquarters and not on the old mountain, I heard that it took more than ten hours for a battalion to penetrate the 1072 heights, so it was estimated that it would take an hour for the agents to complete this journey.

In fact, Commander Jiang and the others did not believe that the agent company would be able to reach the designated location within the specified time...... They may have more say in this point, because the third battalion of infantry fought in this area, and according to Staff Officer Wu, if the speed of the march of the third battalion was calculated, it would take at least two hours to walk.

Of course, if it was two hours, it would have been dark by the time we reached the 1072 heights.

But what they don't know is that the agents even have the subject of marching in the jungle in their usual training, and these are all completed under the "torture" of Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, two former Vietnamese agents, so of course such a march is not a problem for them.

In fact, this march was not as easy as I imagined, because in actual combat, the agent company could not climb mountains and rivers and cross rivers as usual training, and they had to be careful about whether there were enemies in the jungle along the way. Or whether there are mines in the ground or in the grass.

Fortunately, Master Jiang was prescient. He commanded the fighters of the three battalions on the various heights like a relay. The first step was to reconnoiter and open up a section of the way for the agent company, which allowed the agent company to arrive at the assembly point in time.

However, this kind of marching speed was enough to make Division Commander Jiang and other cadres smack their tongues.

"Battalion commander!" When he reached the second assembly point, which is the bottom of the cliff of 1072 Heights, Scar started to report: "We have arrived at the assembly point along the lì, but the small stone has been scattered, and life and death are uncertain!" ”

"How?" I yelled into the walkie-talkie, "There are casualties if you walk such a short distance!" ”

"Battalion commander!" Scar explained: "We didn't have much time to scout in a hurry, and Little Stone stepped on a mine on the road, but fortunately he moved away quickly, although the mine didn't hurt him. But others also climbed down the steep slope and couldn't find it, so in order not to affect the task, I didn't continue to look for ......."

Hearing this, I know that this can't be blamed on Scar, I don't know their suffering while sitting in the office, and I have to be fast and don't go on a business trip, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world.

Thinking of this, I sighed, looked at my watch and said, "Take a ten-minute break, then go on to your plan!" The matter of the little stone, when you come back after the battle, you will look for it! ”

"Yes!"

This scene only made the surrounding cadres stunned for a moment, knowing that it was too common for their troops to have some casualties during a march like this. It is not surprising that even a battalion of men like a battalion ended up with less than a company of troops interspersed with them, while only one person in our team was left behind. And it's a team that fell out to avoid mines, and even this one can still hide from a mine...... It sounds like a paradise to them.

But what surprised them even more was yet to come, because to everyone's surprise, Xiaoshi not only did not sacrifice, but made a great contribution ahead of others.

Of course, that's all for later.

Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, I ordered Scar and the others to start the final action, which was to climb from the cliff to the 1072 heights.

At this time, everyone held their breath, and the news about Scar's party was conveyed by the soldiers of the third battalion who protected them...... You must know that Scar and others climbed up the cliff, at this time, if a few random Yue devils below found this scene, picked up AK47 and swept it around, and then the Vietnamese army on the 1072 high ground was alarmed again, then Scar and others would be tantamount to fish and meat to be slaughtered.

Therefore, there must be cover from our soldiers below.

"一qiē顺lì!" The voice of the correspondent of the third battalion kept coming from the walkie-talkie: "The friendly troops are very fast, and they have climbed half of the cliff!" ”

"一qiē顺lì! The more devils didn't notice the situation here at all! ”

……

"Order a battalion to make a feint!" Division Commander Jiang ordered.

Obviously, this was to attract the attention of the Vietnamese troops, and the gunfire and explosions of the first battalion feint could also drown out the sound of the agent company climbing the rock.

Gunshots and explosions soon followed, but that's when the unexpected happened......

"There is a situation!" The correspondent reported with some panic: "There are devils shooting upwards under the cliff, and friendly troops have been discovered!" ”

"How!" Master Jiang scolded: "Didn't you ask you to search more carefully? Get rid of these devils right away! ”

"Yes!"

……

When I heard this, my heart couldn't help but sink, and now the agent company was in danger.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the incomplete search of the three battalions, in fact, we all know the terrain like Laoshan, and if we don't put a fire to burn those trees and grasses, we can't search it quietly if we go back and forth a few times.

If anything, it's because we didn't plan well...... We shouldn't have made a feint on Heights 1072 at this time.

Of course, the sound of gunfire and explosions from the feint attack can indeed attract the attention of the 1072 Heights Devils, but at the same time, they will also attract the attention of the Devils below the cliffs.

This is human inertia, and when there is a gunshot somewhere, it is natural to look up and look in the direction where the gunfire came from.

So I have reason to believe that before this, because the secret service company had been quiet, and the Vietnamese army was only concerned about hiding...... The remnants of the Vietnamese army were hiding in cat's ear holes or in the woods, which made their vision not broad, so the Vietnamese army did not notice the movements of the agent company.

But as soon as the soldiers of the first battalion launched a feint, it was different, as soon as they heard these gunshots, the Vietnamese troops who were originally lurking turned around or raised their heads...... Immediately, dozens of Chinese soldiers were hanging from the cliff and climbing up.

So there is the danger we are encountering now, and the devils shoot at the soldiers who are climbing the cliff from the bottom up.

Of course, I am sure that the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion will soon be able to subdue these troublesome Vietnamese troops, but this is not the problem of stricter zhòng...... The gunfire on this side of the cliff would soon attract the attention of the Vietnamese troops on the 1072 heights, which would have kept them on guard, and this qiē was obviously a disaster for the agent company.

If I could, I would have ordered Scar and the others to speed up and climb up, there is a saying that "it's easy to go up the hill but hard to go down", not to mention that they have already climbed the middle line at this time, so the uphill may be faster.

It's a pity that I can't contact Scar and the others now, and of course I can't give orders to them.

I'm confident that Scar will make the right choice, though.

Sure enough, then I heard the messenger shout: "Friendly troops have increased the speed of climbing!" ”

"Organize cover now!" Division Commander Jiang ordered.

"Yes!"

This cover is the suppression of the Vietnamese army on the 1072 heights by the soldiers of the 3rd battalion under the cliff, which can certainly have a certain effect, but the problem is the Vietnamese troops on the 1072 heights...... It seems that it only takes a few grenades to throw down to inflict heavy casualties on the company of agents who are climbing the cliff.

However, just when we were nervous, the correspondent's puzzled voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie: "There seems to be a situation in the Vietnamese army on the 1072 heights, and they are in chaos!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, how could the Vietnamese army on the 1072 heights be in chaos by themselves at this time?

"Could it be that a battalion of fighters rushed to the high ground?" Someone asked.

But this seems to be very unlikely, and this time the task of the first battalion is a feint.

Later, we learned that this was all a ghost made by a small stone, and it was said that in order to avoid the thunder, the small stone turned over and slipped into a steep slope and fell unconscious, and when he woke up, he walked in the direction of the 1072 highland without saying a word, and by mistake let him find a shortcut to climb the 1072 highland...... So it came into play at this critical moment. (To be continued......)
