"There are many benefits to occupying the main peak directly!" I said: "For example, because the main peak is the highest, the weak point of the helicopter that we said before will be exposed to the firepower of the Yue Devils, there is no such thing, but we can give full play to the various advantages of the helicopter to suppress the enemy from the air, and we can also suppress the other high ground of the Yue Devils from a high position." It can even be said that as soon as we occupy the main peak, we can divide the enemy on the front and back slopes of Kulin Mountain into two, and the positive slope, that is, all the Vietnamese army heights north of the main peak, will fall into the situation of being flanked by our army on both sides! ”

"You have a point!" Regiment Leader Shen frowned and said: "If the main peak is in our hands, then we can also rely on the main peak to expand the results or fight a protracted battle with the Yue devils, even if the Yue devils hide a lot of troops in the shadows, but if there is no supply for them, they will always come out, so we can turn from attack to defense, and guard the main peak and let the Yue devils attack." But here's the problem...... How do you want to take this main peak? Rappelling by helicopter? I'm afraid it won't work! ”

When I heard Regiment Commander Shen's words, I knew that he had some research on our synthetic battalion or helicopter tactics, but it was not surprising that he wanted to use our synthetic battalion, and he still had to use helicopters that our army was not familiar with and did not commonly use, so of course he would conduct some research on the past combat examples of our synthetic battalion.

And what he said is also right, it is indeed inappropriate to attack Kuolin Mountain by helicopter rappelling. The reason is obvious, under normal circumstances, the rappelling is only suitable for use in areas where it is relatively safe or where the enemy's firepower is relatively weak, for example, there is no big problem in dealing with lawless elements used against the country, and there are generally not many gangsters and there are no heavy weapons.

But if this is on the battlefield. And it is also necessary to forcibly surrender from the positions where the enemy is stationed...... It's too long. Enemies only need to lift a bazooka or recoilless gun into the sky. The helicopters that are absolutes are good targets.

It's just that Regiment Commander Shen only knew that we would surrender, but he didn't know that the synthetic battalion had just practiced a new tactic.

"I'm not going to rappel with a rope!" I say.

"That's ......" Regiment Commander Shen looked at me suspiciously, and Deputy Battalion Commander Chen and other cadres in the regiment headquarters also wanted to know the answer.

"Airborne!" I say.

"Airborne?" Hearing this, a staff officer next to Regiment Commander Shen said: "This is not realistic, let's not say that the terrain like Kulin Mountain is not suitable for airborne, and the firepower and supplies of the airborne troops are not enough to support such a battle, even if they are unprepared to attack and take the main peak, it will be difficult to hold it in the next battle!" ”

"yes!" Regiment Commander Shen also nodded: "Besides, this airborne unit sprinkled on this Kuolin Mountain, and there were all the hills when landing." Whether it can be assembled or not is a question, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to take the main peak, but the Vietnamese army will be annihilated! ”

It should be said that this staff officer and Regiment Commander Shen are both clear people, when it comes to the airborne troops, the first thing he thinks of is the terrain and equipment, the lack of supplies, and the large dispersal area, etc., what they said is all right, but that is relative to the previous airborne troops.

I shook my head with a smile and said: "If it was the previous airborne troops, it really wouldn't work, but our synthetic battalion has a special agent company that can be airborne by helicopter and equipped with new parachutes, in other words, our current airborne is a low-altitude parachute with the advantages of high carrying capacity, short air time, small dispersion area, etc. Besides......"

I pointed to the topographic map on the table and said: "The characteristics of this Gulin Mountain are also that the south side is gentle and the north side is steep, we can choose the south side, which is relatively gentle, and at the same time, the anticline plane with poor defense of the devils is airborne." Then we will attack the main peak under the cover of helicopter and artillery fire, as long as we are fast enough. It is not impossible to take down the main peak without defense! ”

"Parachuting with a helicopter at a low altitude?!" Hearing this, Regiment Commander Shen and the staff officers couldn't help but look at each other.

But this is not to blame them, helicopter parachute landing is still a new thing in our country at this time, they are afraid that they have not even heard of it, let alone applied this tactic to the battlefield.

After being silent for a long time, Head Shen nodded and said, "Well, if that's the case...... It's worth a try, although there are a lot of risks! ”

I am still very pleased with Commander Shen's cautious attitude, you must know that our synthetic battalion is not from the 703rd regiment, if it is someone else...... I'm afraid that as soon as I hear that our synthetic battalion is willing to take such a big risk to parachute into Kuolin Mountain to seize the main peak, it will be unbelievable. Anyway, at this time, our synthetic battalion is under the command of the 703rd regiment, in other words, the risk is borne by our synthetic battalion, and once it succeeds, this victory will be the 703rd regiment's.

However, Commander Shen didn't think so, and I believe that the reason why he hesitated just now was because he knew the risks of this action...... Just kidding, parachuting into the enemy's defense zone is not a joke, even if it is a low-altitude airborne as I said, there is also a great danger, not to mention that there is a high probability that there will be an enemy waiting for us below in our parachute, that is, the stones, drops and trees on the forest mountain are enough for us to eat a pot.

It's just that Head Shen really had no other way, so he finally agreed to this plan.

What Commander Shen didn't know was that in fact, the plan I was thinking about in my head was not so simple, it was just because there were many people in the regiment headquarters, and I felt that some things didn't need to be said in too much detail, after all, some of the tactical regimental cadres in the synthetic battalion were not clear or understood, and it didn't make sense to say it, the point was that our synthetic battalion could complete the task according to the requirements.

"Battalion Commander Yang!" At this time, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen interjected in a low voice next to him: "This plan ...... What does it have to do with a battalion of besieged soldiers? ”

"I was about to say this!" I pointed to the map and said: "The six platoons of the first battalion are besieged in the valley between the main peak and the 27th heights, and the reason why the enemy did this is because this is the deep defense line of the Vietnamese army, and it is difficult for our troops to rescue the soldiers of the first battalion from this position." But now it's different, once we have captured the main peak, we can condescendingly provide fire cover for the comrades of the first battalion. ”

"But the first battalion still can't get out of trouble!" Deputy Battalion Commander Chen said: "After all, the fire cover is limited, once the soldiers of the first battalion leave beyond the range of the main peak firepower, we will be powerless, and the first battalion will still face the danger of being surrounded and annihilated!" ”

"I didn't say I was going to get the first battalion out of trouble!" I say.

"That's ......," Deputy Battalion Commander Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"I'm going to let them work with our army to defend the main peak!" I said, "That is, under the cover of our army's firepower, the six platoons of the first battalion broke through the encirclement of the Vietnamese army and arrived at the main peak to join our division." ”

Hearing this, Deputy Battalion Commander Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but Regiment Commander Shen nodded heavily and said, "Yes!" That's it! Once this high ground is lost, the Vietnamese army will definitely besiege it with heavy troops, and the special agent company of the synthetic battalion has only one company, and this company must not only win the main peak but also hold on to the final victory, this force is too thin. One battalion and these six platoons can rise up to increase the role of the main peak troops! ”

Speaking of this, Regiment Commander Shen couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect this Yue devil to pretend to be smart and surround a battalion and not eat it, but now it has made the center of this battalion bloom, this plan is very good, the point is whether you can win the main peak, this depends on your synthetic battalion!" ”

Since Regiment Commander Shen has said so, then this battle plan has been decided.

Then there are some detailed issues, such as how Unit 703 can cooperate with our synthetic battalion, and then in order to paralyze the Vietnamese army or let the Vietnamese army give us more time to prepare, and at the same time, I hope that the Vietnamese army will not take the six platoons that are surrounded too early...... Once the Vietnamese army realized that these six platoons were no longer useful, then they would not hesitate to launch a final siege against them. So the regimental commander and I both decided that it was necessary for us to pretend to send a force to reinforce the six platoons in order to delay a little time.

The troops sent to reinforce this detachment are naturally the soldiers of the first battalion, although this reinforcement is actually fake, but just like Deputy Battalion Commander Chen said, as long as they can do something for those besieged comrades, their hearts will be better.

I can understand their thoughts, they are all brothers who have lived and died together on the battlefield, and it is naturally incumbent on them at this time.

Not to mention, although we do not advocate talking about such things as the righteousness of the rivers and lakes in the army when we are studying ideology and politics, this kind of righteousness is natural on the battlefield, and sometimes it is really necessary to exist.

As for the coordination between the 703rd Regiment and the Synthetic Battalion, Regiment Commander Shen fully supported it.

After all, this is the unit of our synthetic battalion that is going to be parachuted into the main peak of Kuolin Mountain to fight against the Yue devils, and to put it mildly, we are doing the most dangerous thing...... There is an unwritten rule on the battlefield that whoever performs the most dangerous mission has a say.

This is actually very easy to understand, people are fighting with their lives, to put it mildly, it means that the whole army rushes to the forefront, in other words, because these people are on the other side, they don't have to take so much risk, so it is reasonable for others to cooperate a little more.

So Regiment Commander Shen quickly agreed to my request, that is, what I had thought before, and arranged some of the artillery backbones I brought to the relevant artillery units to command.

In fact, this is not a very big deal, that is, the transfer of an artillery battalion to the command of our synthetic battalion, there are already a lot of artillery units assigned to the 703 regiment by the superiors, and the transfer of an artillery battalion is nothing, not to mention that this artillery battalion is actually also used for the Kuolin Mountain battlefield.
