There was another low burst of laughter. He Zhimin couldn't hold back a laugh and said, "Thank you Commander Zhu for your compliment!" Speaking of Liu Shuai, he is the god of war. If I, He Zhimin, can learn one-ten-thousandth of Liu Shuai's use of soldiers in my life, it will not be in vain for my life's career as a horseman. Hehe...... If you want to say 'invite the monkey into the cage' and 'close the door to catch the monkey', it is not possible to talk about the idea now, and it is 108,000 miles away from the plan. Because, there are still a few questions that I haven't figured out yet, and it can be said that it feels difficult to deal with. I was just trying to ask for advice from the famous Chief of Staff Zhiduoxing Qiao, who was born in the think tank of the Iron Army Division, and the two leaders of the Military Region and the Nanning Workstation came. The two chiefs are really timely rain, and there is hope for 'inviting monkeys into the cage' and 'closing the door to catch monkeys'! ……”

Qiao Jianhua, chief of staff of the "front finger", said with a smile: "I said Deputy Commander He, you have been humble for a long time, and you have lifted me to the sky again." Who in the entire military region doesn't know that you are a famous general? Hehe...... Excessive modesty is pride. If Deputy Commander He is polite again, I suspect that there is something else going on. Do you want to talk about your problem, and I can also study? ……”

Political Commissar Hu also urged: "I said Lao He, say it quickly!" Don't go around in circles and make the big guys anxious! ……”

He Zhimin smiled at Political Commissar Hu and said: "I am not blindly modest, there are indeed a few questions that have not been answered, and I sincerely ask the leaders for advice. Hehe...... First, the Vietnamese monkey suffered a big loss from General Ju in the battle of 'False Path to Annihilation', and this time even if he was led to the 730 Heights by the detachment behind the enemy lines of the 'Sword Force', he would have palpitations. Moreover, before the battle of 'False Path', the Vietnamese monkeys lurked the reinforced company of the 'Shadow Force' behind the 730 heights, which shows that the commanders of the Vietnamese monkeys not only studied the terrain very well, but also used it very skillfully. ……”

Chief of Staff Qiao held his chin in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Although I did not participate in the 'False Path Annihilation' battle, I reviewed this battle. The 730 Highlands are steep in slopes, mostly between 50 and 70 degrees, covered with bamboo forests, shrubs and aircraft grasses up to more than two meters high, and there are many natural caves. It is foggy and humid all year round, with abundant rainfall and a large temperature difference between day and night. On a sunny day with good visibility, the hill overlooks the territory of China. The 730 highlands directly face the border of the Vietnamese monkey territory, like two ghosts guarding the door, standing two mountains. Liugong Mountain on the left, 670 meters above sea level. Liu Po Mountain on the right, 630 meters above sea level. The cliffs of Liu Gong Mountain and Liu Po Mountain are towering, the caves are dense, the vegetation is dense, and the open land between the two mountains is about 800 meters at its narrowest point, which is also a natural obstacle to block the attack. The Vietnamese monkeys lurked behind the reinforced company of the 'shadow troops' on the back of the 730 heights, which was indeed very clever. If it weren't for General Ju Lao breaking the rules, it would have been really difficult to eat this reinforced company of the Vietnamese monkey 'shadow troops'. ……”

"Hmm...... Chief of Staff Joe was right! ......" He Zhimin nodded, and then said: "Liu Shuai set up an ambush twice in the same place in Qiqian Village back then, which seemed to violate the principle of 'no return with troops', but in fact, the soldiers did not tire of deception and won because of the enemy. This makes the 'overlapping ambush' ambush battle in Qigan Village a classic example. However, Liu Shuai's second combat deployment in Qiqian Village did not rigidly replicate the first combat deployment, but made corresponding adjustments. The 'shadow troops' of the Vietnamese monkeys were bombarded by General Ju's Type 66 152mm heavy guns, and this time they must have a long memory and will not climb the 730 heights again......"

He Zhimin walked to the map, pointed to the map and said, "Chiefs, please see, in the area of Shuolong Village, there are many high mountains in the north and south, and many ravines in the east and west. However, the 585 Heights on the south side of Highway 4 behind the 730 Heights are the only commanding heights in this area, and they are also the only way to the 730 Heights. I speculate that the 'shadow troops' of the Vietnamese monkeys will definitely take advantage of motorization to cut off the retreat of the detachment behind enemy lines of the 'Sword Force' along Highway 4 at Heights 585 and surround them. The Vietnamese monkeys must have also calculated that the 585 heights were already approaching the limit of the range of the Type 66 152mm heavy guns. Even if the Type 66 152mm heavy gun can barely reach it, the firepower density will be greatly reduced, and the lethality will be limited. This is my first confusion! ……”

The war room was silent, and after everyone looked at each other for a while, Commander Zhu said with a solemn face: "Hmm...... I said, Lao He, this confusion of yours is indeed a problem. You keep talking! ……”

"Yes! ......" He Zhimin agreed and continued: "In the battle of 'False Path to Annihilation', General Ju Lao mobilized almost the military industry of the entire military region, requisitioned a large number of horses in the local area, and made great efforts to get one regiment's Type 66 152mm heavy artillery and two battalions of Type 56 160mm mortars, as well as three base shells into the position. There is only one Type 66 152mm heavy artillery regiment under the jurisdiction of our Eastern Front's 'front finger', and the Type 66 152mm heavy artillery weighs 5.7 tons, which is very cumbersome, and there is not so much military industry. If the militia is mobilized, the movement is too great, and it is very likely that the campaign attempt will be self-evident. ……”

He Zhimin's concerns are not unreasonable. The Type 66 152mm howitzer is the technology of the "D20" 152mm heavy gun introduced by our country at the end of the fifties, using the existing 130mm cannon mount, and the domestic heavy gun developed in the mid-sixties. Later, the gun mount was improved, the elevation angle was increased, and it was put into service with the troops on a large scale, making it a reliable, durable and powerful heavy gun. The Type 66 152mm howitzer is nearly 8.7 meters long, about 2.42 meters wide, weighs 5.7 tons, and has a range of 20 kilometers. The ammunition types are equipped with separate anti-personnel blasting grenades, flares, smoke bombs, etc., which are all manually loaded, with a rate of fire of six rounds per minute, and the full number of gun operators is nine. Among them, the power of the main 152-millimeter grenade is quite amazing, the weight of the shell alone is 57 kilograms, which is as heavy as a person, and it can kill and injure various targets within a range of several hundred meters after exploding.

The Type 56 160mm mortar is said to be a mortar, but its size is above the 105mm howitzer of the Americans, which is in no way inferior to the 122mm howitzer of the "old Maozi". In other words, the barrel length of the Type 56 160mm mortar was much larger than the Type 54 122mm howitzer that our army was equipped with at that time. And it's not only bulky, but it's also cumbersome to reload. When loading, a grenade weighing more than 40 kilograms has to be stuffed into the tail of the gun by at least two gunners, lock the gun button, and then put it on the base, manually pull the firing device, and then the shell will shoot out of the barrel, and the rate of fire of this thing will not exceed two rounds per minute. However, don't look at the Type 56 160mm mortar, which is stupid and stupid, but the power is terrifying, with a maximum range of 8.3 kilometers and a killing area of 3,000 square meters. It is said that this kind of artillery once participated in the artillery battle of Kinmen, and at that time, our People's Liberation Army had a battalion with a total of 12 such guns stationed on Xiaodeng Island to strike at targets on Xiaojinmen, Dadan Island, Erdan Island, and other islands. After the war, Hao Bocun, who was the commander of Xiaojinmen at that time, was very impressed, and was amazed that the shells of this cannon were extremely powerful, and the craters formed by the landing were more than one person deep, and many positions of the Kuomintang troops hidden on the back of the mountain were destroyed, which was simply "comparable to the American-made M-101 howitzer." ……”

When He Zhimin said this, Director Liang of the Operations Department of the Military Region interrupted him: "I said Deputy Commander He, what you said was an insurmountable difficulty in the past. I also know that the area around Shuolong Village is indeed a mountainous and jungle area, the terrain is narrow, the roads are scarce, and it is very difficult for the artillery unit to move. However, we have a new type of rocket artillery, so there is no need for Deputy Commander He's worries......"

"New rocket artillery? ......" the crowd asked in almost unison.

Commander Zhu was obviously a little overjoyed, and urged: "What new type of rocket artillery?" I said Director Liang, can you stop selling guanzi and playing dumb riddles, hurry up and say okay, don't let my old man be anxious. ……”

"Yes! Commander Zhu! ......" Director Liang smiled, and then said: "In the self-defense counterattack, our troops once suffered the loss of the 'Lao Maozi' BM-21 Hail 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher equipped by the Vietnamese monkeys. It's a pity that in the self-defense counterattack, we didn't capture it. There are also not many Vietnamese monkeys of this 'BM-21 Hail' 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher. Later, with the help of friendly countries, we obtained the original version of this 'BM-21 Hail' 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher. A few years ago, according to the needs of the international arms market, Harbin No. 1 Machinery Factory, which is also known as Factory 674, and Hubei Jiangshan Machinery Factory, which is also known as Factory 5137, jointly developed a 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system assembled on a tracked chassis on the basis of the 'BM-21 Hail' 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher, and prepared for export. However, the international arms market is volatile and treacherous, and this 122mm self-propelled rocket system cannot be sold. The manufacturer is forced to run out of ways, so they want to equip this 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system to our troops. Seeing that the leaders of the headquarters were very cautious about this matter, the manufacturer did not know when they learned what marketing methods of the enterprises of the capitalist countries, rushed to produce this 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system of two battalions, and did the work of the head of the headquarters, and wanted to pull it to the battlefield to give it a try. It's a mule, it's a horse, it's a horse that comes out and walks around. ……”

Chief of Staff Qiao Jianhua Qiao was also overjoyed and asked, "Director Liang, where is the 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system you are talking about?" What is the range? How are there only two battalions? ……”

Director Liang shook his head when he saw Qiao Jianhua say this, knowing that he suspected that the firepower of the two battalions of 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery was insufficient. So he smiled and said: "Chief of Staff Qiao, this 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system, the standard configuration of a battalion is the BCPV battalion command post, and it is also a fire command vehicle, a 702-D meteorological weather and weather radar vehicle, and a 704-1 ballistic positioning radar vehicle. Each of the three companies under its jurisdiction has a fire command vehicle and a BRV forward observation and search vehicle. Speaking of firepower, a battalion has three launch companies under its jurisdiction, and a company has six launch vehicles, that is, a battalion has eighteen launch vehicles. The tube diameter of the rocket launch system is 122.4mm, and each rocket launch system has four columns, each column has ten tubes, and a total of 40 launchers are available. How many shells is a salvo in a battalion? So how many shells are two battalions in one salvo? In addition, the 122mm self-propelled rocket launcher launcher is equipped with 40 additional artillery shell racks in front of the cargo container, which is equipped with lifting and loading devices, and the automatic loading operation can be operated from the cockpit, and the whole process takes about three minutes. That is, this 122mm self-propelled rocket artillery system can make two salvos in three minutes, and how many shells are there for the second salvo? ……”
