Chapter 219: Transition
"Here's the thing!" At the next meeting, I said to the cadres: "We are now facing a situation that there are too few artillery sighting radars, and there is only one one that has been put into use on the front line, that is, the one we protect. On the other hand, the Sino-Vietnamese border is too long, with a total of more than 1,000 kilometers, so the superiors also think that it is not appropriate to use the artillery sighting radar in one place all the time! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping said: "Does the superior mean to put the artillery sighting radar into other places? ”
"Yes!" I said: "The defense of the 40th Division has been almost organized, and the artillery sighting radar continues to stay in Laoshan of great effect. And this is not enough to create a kind of deterrence for the ghosts...... If they knew that our army's artillery sighting radar only stayed in one place in Laoshan and did not leave, then they could not fire artillery in the Laoshan area, and other places could use artillery with confidence, but we could not do anything about them.
On the contrary, if we can use the artillery aiming radar in a mobile way, that is, the artillery aiming radar is here today and there tomorrow, the Vietnamese devils on the entire front will not be able to determine whether our artillery radar is monitoring in front of them, so the artillery of the Vietnamese devils on the entire front will be frightened and tremble, and they will not be at ease when they start artillery! ”
"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping couldn't help frowning and said, "That's right, but ...... Doing so obviously multiplies the risk of a sneak attack on the sighting radar! ”
Of course, Zhao Jingping's worries are reasonable, you must know that our army has been in this area of Laoshan for a while, and it has a tacit understanding with the 40th Division, and more importantly, the 40th Division has just fought with the Yue Devils. Therefore, the infiltration of Vietnamese army agents will be strictly prevented in the border area. This will bring great convenience to our work.
Now if you want to maneuver the artillery aiming radar. This means that we have to change locations frequently, and the lack of familiarity with geography and the lack of cooperation with local forces and understanding of local conditions may bring unpredictable risks to artillery sighting radars.
After all, at this time, our army is currently the only artillery sighting radar that can be used on the front line, and it not only plays a military role, but also plays a strategic and political role...... This can almost represent a sign of our army's comprehensive overwhelm of the Vietnamese army in modern science and technology, which will undoubtedly disrupt all the plans of the Vietnamese army's top brass, and most of the future battles will be based on the premise that the Vietnamese army's artillery will be completely suppressed.
But. As the saying goes, if you don't get into the tiger's den, the real purpose of my doing this is to throw a bigger bait to the Vietnamese agents, and I believe that even if the Vietnamese agents know that this is a trap, they have to jump in, after all, they do have a chance to succeed.
"Of course!" I said, "It's risky, but it's also a challenge for us, and I think it's a matter of time, we can't stay in Laoshan all the time." What we have to face one day, now is an opportunity! ”
Zhao Jingping couldn't help but nod when he heard this, you must know that the only troops to protect the artillery sighting radar now are our synthetic battalion, and it is not safe to let other troops protect their superiors. In other words, there will always be a time when we have to go back to Beijing to rest, and then the artillery sighting radar will naturally follow along.
So the plan was decided. The artillery sighting radar was transferred the next night.
The process of transfer was carried out in a low-key manner as always, and even Senior Commander Jiang only knew the situation a second before we were about to transfer.
"Battalion Commander Yang!" Division Commander Jiang said with regret on the phone: "I know that it is also reasonable for the superiors to transfer the artillery aiming radar, after all, the place where the artillery aiming radar is needed is not only Laoshan. But you're so divergent...... It's like we're missing something! ”
"Don't worry, Commander!" I said, "This thing of ours can be said to be there wherever it is needed, and if one day Laoshan starts fighting again, then we will definitely return here as soon as possible!" ”
"I'm relieved to have your words!" Master Jiang couldn't help laughing: "Have a good journey, I won't send more!" ”
When I hung up the phone, I thought it was a little funny, the artillery sight radar seemed to have become a reassurance for the front-line troops, even if there was no war, I felt solid in my heart with it.
But there's nothing strange about this, people's psychology is like this, if there is no artillery radar all the time, this battle will be fought well, but once you have it and then return to the original state, it will be difficult to adapt to it.
From this point of view, modern equipment can also easily make the troops form a kind of dependence.
I think that's why, in a way, the more modern a country is, the easier it is to be destroyed.
The next target for our transition was Gulin Mountain.
This is the most "lively" place on the front line of Yunnan except for Laoshan, and since our army regained Kuolin Mountain, the Vietnamese army's harassment and bombardment of our army in this direction has not stopped for a day. Moreover, just since our army launched the campaign to recover Lao Son, in order to achieve the goal of indirectly assisting Lao Son in the operation to attract our troops, the Vietnamese army has intensified its bombing, infiltration, and exploration of holes against our army in the direction of Kulin Mountain. By now, the battle in the direction of Laoshan has quieted down, but there is no sign of the frequent small battles in Gulin Mountain.
I can also understand this, on the one hand, it is the revenge of the Vietnamese army...... They fought a defeated battle in the direction of the old mountain, and it was a crushing defeat. So I wanted to lose the east corner of the mulberry elm harvest, hoping to get back the loss of the old mountain on the side of Koulin Mountain.
Of course, the Vietnamese army also knew that this loss would definitely not be recovered, it was the casualties of tens of thousands of Vietnamese ace troops, and the 316A Division was afraid that it would be sluggish from now on. But ordinary Vietnamese soldiers don't care so much, they can get some back and feel relieved.
On the other hand, it was because the Vietnamese army knew that our army's artillery sighting radar was only in the direction of Lao Son and that our army's artillery sighting radar was insufficient, so the Vietnamese army's activities in this area of Kulam Mountain were still as arrogant as before.
But soon they will know that this is coming to an end......
"Battalion Commander Yang, this is the information you want!" As soon as we were protecting the artillery aiming radar to Kuolin Mountain, a staff officer surnamed Yu respectfully placed a large stack of materials in front of me.
It's funny to think about. This was before. If we want information on the front-line troops. The most likely thing to do is to get a phrase: "Want information? Come, take something in exchange! ”
We have encountered this a lot before, but fortunately, most of the troops, as soon as they heard that we were a "composite battalion," quickly put down their shelves and provided us with information free of charge.
But that's also because we're a synthetic battalion, a synthetic battalion that can be known throughout the army and can walk sideways, if this were an ordinary army...... That is, it is polite to ask for money and things.
If you want to talk about organization and discipline, these things actually don't have much restraint on the front-line soldiers who pin their heads to the waistband of their pants to make a living, and the battlefield has its own battlefield rules.
But now. The troops on the front line are eager to hand over the most detailed information to us as soon as possible, and even ask us to go to their positions to pray to God and Buddha.
This is not because we are a synthetic battalion, but because we have artillery sighting radar...... Since the battle of Laoshan, the soldiers everywhere know very well what this artillery sighting radar means, as long as we come, and then hit a few artillery pieces, the artillery of the Yue devils will be silent.
And what army on the front line would refuse such a good thing?
I casually pushed the information to Zhao Jingping next to me, and ordered: "You discuss with Staff Officer Yu to see when to carry out a strike on the Vietnamese artillery!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Jingping took the information and politely invited Staff Officer Yu aside.
It's not that I look down on this battle or on Staff Officer Yu, but because I want to focus on dealing with Vietnamese agents, who are our most important enemies at this time.
In fact, to be honest, sometimes I also think that it makes sense to spend so much effort and take such a big risk to lure out the Vietnamese army agents.
I'm clear about it. The Vietnamese army agents can't finish fighting, and after this batch is finished, there will be the next batch. That is to say, even if I succeed in annihilating this group of Vietnamese agents, it does not mean that the artillery aiming Xieda will be at ease in the future.
So sometimes I can't help but ask myself, is it because this one-eyed dragon is my opponent, not only did he escape from me several times, but he almost made me unable to protect the artillery radar last time...... To put it simply, it's because of a personal vendetta, so I'm faking the public and helping myself.
But after thinking about it, I felt that I had no problem doing it.
First of all, I don't have any personal enmity with the one-eyed dragon, I have already seen the battle until now, on the battlefield is that you kill me, I will kill you, if you don't kill me, I will kill you, both sides are doing everything to survive, so what revenge and the like are actually realistic, the enemy can't always stand still and wait for you to cut off your head!
So even if the one-eyed dragon wanted my life several times, I didn't have any personal enmity with him before, and some of them were national feuds.
Secondly, I think the reason why I was in such a hurry to find and deal with the One-Eyed Dragon was because the One-Eyed Dragon was different from other agents of the Tsui Army.
Even Chen Qiaoqiao, the former commander of the agent company, didn't know anything about this one-eyed dragon. This shows that his agent company has a transcendent identity even among the Vietnamese army agents, just like our synthetic battalion.
With him here, I feel a little like I'm on pins and needles, and my heart is not steady.
I'm not sure, which means that the gunsight radar isn't safe enough, so I think it's still necessary.
Now, I have already done what I should do: transfer the artillery sighting radar to the Ku Lam Shan area, which is not strictly guarded and easy to penetrate, and at the same time, after our army fires the artillery, I will clearly tell the location of the Vietnamese army's artillery sighting radar.
Needless to say, it is no secret on the battlefield that artillery sighting radars can accurately calculate the enemy's artillery positions in a short time.
In other words, after Zhao Jingping and Staff Officer Yu had summed up, they fired at the number of guns obtained by the gunnery radar...... Everyone in the world knows that the artillery sighting radar is in Kuolin Mountain.
This was an opportunity for the Vietnamese agents, but it also made it more difficult for the Vietnamese agents, because they didn't know how long we would stay in Kulin Mountain, and they didn't know where we would move the artillery at Xieda next time.
Did the Vietnamese army agents make any moves?
I can't say for sure, because there's another element of uncertainty here, which is that the Vietnamese agents can wait until our troops move to another place, or then to another place, and then it's not too late to do so.
But the Vietnamese agents didn't really have such a chance, and the next thing I had to do was force them to do it...... I want them to realize that if they don't do it now, they probably won't have a chance for a long time to come.
The plan of Zhao Jingping and Staff Officer Yu was quickly formulated, and as usual, in order to be able to kill and injure as many Vietnamese artillery as possible, we first used artillery aiming radar to observe the Vietnamese artillery for three days.
On the third day, when we got enough numbers, our artillery battalion bombarded the Vietnamese artillery positions......
It is not difficult to imagine that the artillery of the Vietnamese army quickly lost their armor and suffered heavy casualties under the blows of our army.
But halfway through the blow, Chen Weihua suddenly reported: "The artillery sighting radar is out of order!" ”
"What's the situation?" I asked, "How could it fail at this point?" ”
"Battalion commander!" Chen Weihua replied helplessly: "Since the reconquest of Laoshan, the artillery sighting radar has been working continuously for several months, during which we have been using the method of checking and replacing parts every day to maintain its working condition, and it is quite good that there is a problem now!" ”
"There is no problem in the morning, there is no problem in the evening, but this is the time!" I couldn't help but scold: "This battle is only half of the battle, and our artillery unit is holding a stomach full of gunpowder and has nowhere to go!" ”
"Battalion commander!" Staff Officer Yu persuaded: "Actually, it's almost the same, we have obtained enough Vietnamese artillery positions in the past three days, and the Vietnamese artillery has already suffered heavy casualties in this round of bombardment, which can be seen from the obvious weakening of their counterattack artillery." ”
"How's that going to work?" I said, "Now that the Vietnamese artillery is returning fire, we can't do anything!" ”
Then I ordered Chen Weihua again: "Repair it immediately, and you can get it back to normal within two hours!" ”
"Battalion commander!" Chen Weihua said helplessly: "The parts we brought have been used up, and this failure is still a big problem, so we have to ship it back to Beijing for maintenance!" ”
"What? Shipped back to Beijing?! ”
Chen Weihua spread his hands helplessly.
I could only sigh and look at Staff Officer Yu with apologetic eyes: "It seems that we can only help here!" ”
Of course, Staff Officer Yu will not have any opinions, after all, this is an artillery sighting radar, and there is only one one in the entire front line, and only two in the whole country, so every qiē should focus on artillery sighting radar. (To be continued......)
