Chapter 168: The Battle of Laoshan (2)
"That's right, it's to transfer the 316A division!" I pointed to the map and said, "Has Senior Commander Jiang thought about it...... Although the fierce artillery battle between our army and the Vietnamese army in the direction of Lao Son caused heavy casualties to the Vietnamese army, which also made the Vietnamese army more vigilant, why were they still unable to scrape together a sufficient number of artillery pieces to fill this gap for nearly a month? ”
After a pause, I continued: "The reason is very simple, in fact, it is because of Kuo Lin Mountain. Since our army took Kuolin Mountain last year, the area near Kuolin Mountain has always been the main trend in the direction of Yunnan, that is to say, this area is a sensitive area for the Vietnamese army. At the same time, because our army regained the commanding heights of Kulin Mountain and occupied the commanding heights, the Vietnamese army was restless and worried that our army would continue to advance south on the basis of the main peak of Kulin Mountain, so the Vietnamese army deployed heavy troops in the area of Kulin Mountain! ”
"That's right!" Division Commander Jiang nodded and said: "The more devils call it the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, they don't know that our recovery of these heights is actually just to prevent their harassment of our army, but they think that our army will attack with favorable terrain, and this wrong judgment directly caused their mistakes in the distribution of troops!"
You're right, the reason why the Yue devils can't replenish the artillery gap in the direction of Laoshan in time is, in the final analysis, they still refuse to relax the defense in the direction of Koulin Mountain. ”
There is a certain amount of truth in what Division Commander Jiang said, and the distribution of troops in this way is indeed a miscalculation of our army's strategic objectives. From the very beginning, our army stressed that we did not want to occupy an inch of Vietnam's land, and what we wanted was only to teach Vietnam and the border stability and peace, and only when the border was stable and the society was peaceful, could the domestic economy develop at a faster speed.
But this can't be blamed on the Vietnamese army. Because of this thing as war. You can never hope in the mercy of your enemies.
We are. Of course, the same is true of the Vietnamese army.
Therefore, the Vietnamese army will naturally deploy heavy troops in the area of Kuolin Mountain, which is an important place to lose, in case our army has another "self-defense counterattack against Vietnam".
"This phenomenon has actually worsened now!" I pointed to Kulin Mountain and said, "You must know that the main peak of Kulin Mountain is in the hands of our army, and the Vietnamese army thinks that our army has an advanced telescope that can easily and quickly calculate the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army...... This has been confirmed in the direction of Laoshan, and we do not occupy the main peak in the direction of Laoshan, so once we use this telescope on the main peak of Kuolin Mountain, what will be the result? ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Commander Jiang couldn't help but suddenly realize: "The Vietnamese army was originally a frightened bird...... I will definitely think that our strategic purpose is actually to expand the results of the battle on the front line of Buckle Forest Mountain! ”
"Yes!" I said, "So, in that sense." We inadvertently had a large-scale artillery battle with the Yue Devil before, but it may be a good thing. Because the more devils will think...... Are the Chinese so stupid? Will they be so easy to expose their strategic intent? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Division Commander Jiang laughed and said: "I believe that the commander of the Vietnamese army thinks so now, or that they are still in a state of contradiction and waiting to see the future situation, otherwise, they should have transferred the artillery in the direction of Kulin Mountain to strengthen the defense of Lao Mountain, instead of transferring an infantry division over for backup!" ”
I nodded, this is also what I want to say, the purpose of this 316A division transferred by the Vietnamese army is obvious, that is, just in case...... What if the Chinese soldiers attacked Laoshan? Then this 316A division can temporarily withstand the attack of the Chinese army or delay for a while. During this time, the artillery in the direction of Koulin Mountain can be transferred to Laoshan and make up for the gap of insufficient artillery in Laoshan.
That's why there is a saying that "tactical victory can never make up for strategic defeat", so what if the Vietnamese army has more combat experience? The more devils are all hard-working, and like our army, they are not afraid of death, so what? Their commanders were not wise enough. Mistakes were made at the strategic level, which doomed them to failure in the end.
"That's a good idea!" After thinking about it, Division Commander Jiang nodded and said: "And it is obvious that the Vietnamese army will have the problem of insufficient troops to defend on such a long defensive line, once we make the Vietnamese army create the illusion that our army will attack Kuolin Mountain, then it is very likely that this 316A Division will be transferred to the direction of Kuolin Mountain!" ”
There is no doubt about this, you must know that since the Vietnam army has fought back in self-defense in 79, although they have called on all the people to be soldiers, but a small country is a small country after all, a country with a total population of only more than 80 million, and most of them are still old, weak, women and children, how many regular troops can compete with our country, which has a total population of more than one billion?
Therefore, in order to be able to confront our army on the long border line, the Vietnamese army put most of its troops here to fight a war with no possibility of victory at all, and even these forces had to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
"We can break it down into three steps!" Then Division Commander Jiang said to himself thoughtfully: "First of all, secretly mobilize the 'new-style telescope' to Kulinshan, secondly, send a small number of troops to feign to create a false image, and again mobilize a large number of various types of radio stations to move in the direction of Kulinshan!" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly say that this Jiang is still old and spicy, I just thought of the "new telescope", and the two points that Master Jiang mentioned next are a good supplement or auxiliary, so that it will cause the feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings in the direction of Koulin Mountain.
"Very well, that's it!" Senior Commander Jiang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Xiao Yang, it's not bad...... Commander Zhang really didn't see the wrong person, and your synthetic battalion is not in vain! ”
"The division commander has won the award!"
"That's it!" Division Commander Jiang unconsciously took out a cigarette again to light it for himself, and said in a deep voice: "If the enemy in front of us only has the 313th Division and a small amount of artillery, then it will be much easier for us to deal with!" ”
"Divisional Commander!" At this time, I couldn't help but ask: "The mission of our synthesis camp is ......"
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Senior Commander Jiang couldn't help but pat his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, I've forgotten what I'm talking to you about!" ”
"That's right!" Senior Commander Jiang pointed to the map and said, "Let me tell you about the situation first, this place in Laoshan...... The terrain is relatively complicated, and the Yue devils have occupied the old mountain for three years now, and they have built a large number of tunnels, trenches, and hiding holes on the old mountain, and set up many barbed wire, traps, anti-infantry trenches and other obstacles in front of the position. At a distance of 400 to 600 meters from the position, there are warning minefields, and at a distance of 5 to 100 meters from the position, there are mixed minefields with wide frontages and high density, which are in turn equipped with various obstacles to form an obstacle area. The gaps between the obstacle areas are combined with fire control to form a large depth in the defensive setup.
In the defensive positions of the Vietnamese army, our army's reconnaissance unit has also found out that it is equipped with various combat firearms, forming a direct fire, curved fire, long shot, close shot, and reverse attack intersecting each other; The upper, middle and lower layers of open fire and dark fire are combined with dense firepower.
In addition, the Vietnamese artillery observers have also prepared artillery firing units on roads, important military targets, and road sections that may be attacked by our army, and even conducted test firing on some important road sections...... Don't look at the Yue devils, they usually seem to be playing with artillery, but in fact, they also have their own purposes. ”
I nodded, I have seen this in the previous artillery battles, because the Vietnamese artillery has the ability to block the retreat of our second artillery company at the first time, which shows that the Vietnamese army has mastered the main roads in our army in detail and preset the artillery firing Zhuyuan.
"Given the difficulties on these fronts." Division Commander Jiang continued: "We believe that we should give full play to the advantages of artillery sighting radar, that is, under the command of artillery sighting radar, we require artillery to be able to solve the above difficulties for the infantry, is there a way to do it?" ”
I couldn't help but gasp when I heard this...... Although it is true that artillery sighting radar can be said to be miraculous in this era, it is too difficult to solve such a problem.
After thinking about it, I replied with a frown: "It is relatively easy to do this with regard to the question of the Vietnamese artillery presetting artillery elements for the roads and important military targets in our territory. As long as the Vietnamese artillery fires, the artillery sighting radar can easily calculate the position of its artillery position, and the threat of the Vietnamese artillery to us will only become less and less if the fight continues. ”
"Hmm!" Division Commander Jiang nodded: "This solves the problems of logistics, reinforcements, and offensive continuity. ”
"Clear the minefields and obstacles in front of the position...... I hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "There is no problem in doing this, the artillery sighting radar can effectively guide our artillery fire into the designated area, but this requires more artillery units and sufficient ammunition. ”
"None of this is a problem!" Division Commander Jiang replied without thinking about it: "In addition to our own artillery regiment of the 40th Division, the higher authorities have also strengthened the 4th Artillery Division, the 14th Army Artillery Regiment, and the 41st Division Artillery Regiment for us. In terms of shells, we also have a reserve of 2.5 base ammunition! ”
I couldn't help but gasp when I heard this...... Niangdi, this is the six artillery regiments, the six artillery regiments plus the artillery battalion of our synthetic battalion, such a powerful artillery unit to deal with the two artillery regiments of the Yue devils, and it is also the Yue devil artillery that is not fully prepared and the ammunition is insufficient, and more importantly, we also have the command of the artillery sighting radar, so it is inevitable that there are some killers with knives!
What I don't know is that in this battle, our army is actually going to kill chickens with knives.
Because the troops mentioned by Division Commander Jiang just now are only the artillery part, but also the reinforced infantry regiment, the communications regiment, the engineer regiment, the automobile regiment, the reconnaissance brigade behind enemy lines in the military region, the reconnaissance brigade of the 42nd Division, the Malipo County Militia Regiment, and so on, and the total number of troops is several times that of the 313th Division of the Vietnamese Army.
