Chapter 113: 7.12 Campaign (12)

At this time, the Yue Devils realized a problem: on the surface, they seemed to occupy the 142 Heights, but in fact, they were not able to effectively control the 142 Heights at all.

It can even be said that the 142 heights they got are like a time bomb that will blow them up into the sky at any time...... Because it is foreseeable that the Chinese infantry will launch a large-scale counterattack towards the 142 heights under the cover of tanks at any time, and there are still Chinese soldiers in the tunnels of the 142 heights, then the Vietnamese army will fall into the embarrassing situation of being "attacked from inside and outside".

Hearing this, I couldn't help but nod secretly, it seems that Huang Jianfu is really ready to fight this battle. What is even more rare is that Huang Jianfu's plan also takes into account the specific situation of our army.

That is, now it is the Yue devils who are rushing for time to consolidate their positions, and they must organize a defense or gain a firm foothold before our army has enough artillery shells in stock. Of course, we are also rushing for time, we are rushing for time to transport shells.

As for the first line, especially in the direction of the 142 heights, then it is necessary to take a delaying tactic to grind the time, as long as it is delayed until our army has enough artillery shells in reserve, a counteroffensive can be launched.

Now Huang Jianfu's tank company is doing this, their actions are like playing Tai Chi with the Yue devils, when the enemy is so anxious that they want to fight, they will not do it, and when the Yue devils will die down, they will give them such a shot in a cold manner, and leave after the fight.

As a result, although the Vietnamese army occupied the surface position of Heights 142, it was still unable to safely transport supplies and deploy troops through Heights 142 as usual.

From this point of view, Huang Jianfu still has a big picture of the big picture.

Later, I learned that I actually overestimated Huang Jianfu's strategic view. Because after the war, when I asked Huang Jianfu what he thought at this time. Huang Jianfu touched his head and replied, "I didn't think much about it. I just don't want the more devils to live too comfortably. So I'll do whatever I can to make them uncomfortable! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but scold a three-character scripture in my heart, and I thought this guy had a good idea, but I didn't expect it to be that virtuous.

The Vietnamese army's solution to this problem was to block the flanks of heights 5 and 6 with artillery fire, tanks, and anti-armor units, and at the same time send infantry to launch a strong attack on heights 5 and 6.

It should be said that this idea is still good, after all, the unit that came up from the Vietnamese army is the motorized infantry regiment of the Vietnamese army, and its anti-armor capability is still quite good, just like now, the anti-armor units organized by the Vietnamese army on both wings not only have tanks, rocket launchers, etc. There are also a couple of cannons.

On the other hand, if the Vietnamese army can take the No. 5 and No. 6 heights, then our tank units will no longer be able to carry out such a harassment plan, that is, at that time, the 142 heights can be regarded as really under the effective control of the Vietnamese army.

But the Vietnamese army obviously underestimated the capabilities of our artillery......

Although our army is short of artillery shells at this time, this does not mean that our artillery is useless, especially when our army still has artillery sighting radar, ignoring our artillery is obviously a strict mistake.

"Battalion commander!" An hour later, Zhao Jingping reported: "My artillery battalion has already stockpiled a base number of shells!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded.

This is not unexpected, to say that the shells were slow at first because our artillery positions had just moved, then after knowing the location of our artillery positions. This shell is about to be shipped quickly, and our artillery battalion is still the priority supply unit. It is not difficult to reserve a base number of shells for an hour.

At this time, how would I know that this was actually the result of the mobilization of a large number of civilian vehicles by the logistics troops, and there was even a near accident: the people directly pulled the shells into the artillery positions of our army, and even a considerable number of drivers thought that the shells should be unloaded behind the butt of the artillery, so they directly reversed the car and put it behind the butt of the artillery...... Just kidding, this whole load of shells is placed next to the artillery, and a few shells come over to cause a martyrdom, so what?! If it weren't for the desperate efforts of our soldiers, the car would have overturned the artillery.

"Are we ...... now?" Zhao Jingping asked, pointing to the artillery positions of the Vietnamese army on the map.

I know what Zhao Jingping means, the task of my artillery battalion is to fight the Vietnamese artillery, and now I have a base number of shells in reserve, so I should give the Vietnamese devil artillery a hard time.

This can not only provide assistance to our army's front-line troops, but also let the Vietnamese devils know that our army's artillery shells have been partially replenished, so that they will no longer dare to arrogantly fire at our army's positions.

In fact, this is also the purpose of my order to give priority to the supply of artillery battalion shells.

There is a saying that "kill the chicken to show the monkey", if the artillery battalion can play its role again in this situation, it is very likely to have a shocking effect on the Vietnamese artillery, that is to say, as long as we knock out one artillery regiment of the Vietnamese army, it is very likely that all the artillery of the Vietnamese army will not dare to shoot artillery.

But after thinking about it, I shook my head and rejected the plan.

"These shells are used to support the 142 heights!" I say.

"Support 142 Heights?" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping was a little puzzled.

Heights 142 is indeed important, but it is still secondary to the artillery threat of the Vietnamese army on the entire front, after all, our front-line infantry is now struggling to resist the Vietnamese attack under the fire of the Vietnamese army.

"Hmm!" I continued: "Do you think that this time our army is running out of shells...... Although it is an opportunity for the Vietnamese army, it is also an opportunity for our army! ”

Zhao Jingping, Staff Officer Wei and the others glanced at each other, their faces dazed.

It is normal for them not to understand, because at this time our army is in a hurry because of the lack of shells, how can this be said to be an opportunity!

But......

"Because our army has no artillery shells, the Vietnamese army is relieved to put more infantry and artillery into this battlefield!" I said, "That is......"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Zhao Jingping and the staff officers reacted.

"That is!" Zhao Jingping followed my words and said: "When we reserve enough shells, the losses of the Vietnamese army will be even heavier!" ”

"Yes!" I nodded: "So what we are doing now should not be to suppress the artillery of the Yue devils, although it is possible for us to do this under the command of the artillery sighting radar." However, in this way, it is very likely that the Vietnamese devils will perceive the speed of our army's artillery reserves and estimate the time of our army's counteroffensive, so that they will no longer continue to attack new positions and concentrate on consolidating the positions they have already occupied, which will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to our counteroffensive. ”

"The battalion commander is right!" Staff Officer Wei agreed: "In particular, the ability of the Yue devils to transport artillery shells is much worse than ours, due to the constraints of transportation conditions, they often need to use manpower to transport artillery shells, which will also make them misestimate the time of our army's reserve artillery shells on a large distance!" We should take advantage of this. ”

"But the artillery reinforcements of the 142 position ......," Zhao Jingping asked.

"The artillery reinforcements of the 142 position are different!" I replied, "It's not a big area, and we're consciously reinforcing a limited range of artillery, such as firing 10 rounds or less per gun...... In this way, it will give the Vietnamese army a wrong message, they think that we have only stored less than ten shells in the past few hours, according to this estimate, it may take 24 hours or more to reserve a base number of shells that can fight a battle, and then we will be able to take the Vietnamese army by surprise! ”

"Makes sense!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said: "This will not only allow the Yue devils to invest more infantry and artillery, but also allow them to blindly expand the results of the battle without organizing a good defense, once our army is ready to launch a counteroffensive...... Then the Vietnamese army is about to be beaten badly! ”

"How?" I jokingly asked, "You can't bear it?!" ”

"How can it!" Zhao Jingping replied with a wry smile: "What are you talking about, making me look like a spy!" ”

With a coax, the staff officers in the command headquarters laughed heartily.

As soon as the plan was decided, implementation began.

It is said that at this time, Huang Jianfu's tank guerrilla warfare was suppressed by the Vietnamese army at a certain time...... After all, the area of Heights 142 is not large, and there are not many areas where tanks can move, and as soon as the anti-tank units on both flanks of the Vietnamese army are released like this, our tanks will have to take considerable risks if they go up again.

Just when Huang Jianfu felt breathless, I called him with a phone call.

"Really, that's great!" When Huang Jianfu heard that I was going to provide them with artillery assistance, he jumped up with joy for a moment, but after thinking about it, he replied again: "Battalion commander, I know that we don't have many shells, so these shells are still left for you to fight the devil artillery, we can withstand it here!" ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, this is our warriors, they will think about others first even on the battlefield.

"You don't have to think about these questions!" I said, "All you have to think about is to make a plan, a plan with artillery assistance and pass it on to us, understand?" ”

"Yes!"

Huang Jianfu's plan came out quickly......

The principle of this plan is to "take the offensive as the defense and take the initiative to attack", simply put, when the Vietnamese army is attacking the No. 5 and No. 6 positions, use artillery fire to suppress the anti-tank units distributed by the Vietnamese army on both flanks, and then the tanks and infantry with the infantry quickly attack and cooperate with the infantry in the No. 5, No. 6 positions and even the 142 heights to strike at the Vietnamese army's vital forces.

When I saw this plan, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and his methods are getting more and more ruthless.

But then again, the battlefield is a place for survival of the fittest, and if we are not cruel to the enemy, we are cruel to ourselves.

Therefore, he is not the only one who has grown up like Huang Jianfu. (To be continued......)
