Chapter 81: The Horn Fills the Sky (Part II)

Lai Yingxian immediately ordered the "shadow troops" to stand by in place. Li Yingxian looked at the map of the Meiwangling area in detail, and was worried about a repeat of the "Gangu Mountain fiasco". The "Gangu Mountain Fiasco" that Lai Yingxian was deeply ashamed of was the 730 Heights in the eastern part of the southern Xinjiang front, which the "front fingers" called "Gangu Mountain" in Vietnam, and the "False Path to Annihilation" battle organized by Liu Gongshan and Liu Poshan.

At that time, Lai Ying-yin was very cautious about the proposal of the commander of the "shadow force", Fung Thi Tak Ying, to deploy a company of the "shadow force" in the Gangu Mountain area to wait and standby. Before the "Shadow Force" company secretly entered the Gangu Mountain area, he personally took Feng Thi Deying there to check the terrain. As a result, Lai was very satisfied with the topography around the Kam Mountains. Gangu Mountain is a limestone mountain, the highest mountain within a radius of 100 miles, covered with dense jungle and artemisia grass. The slope of Gangu Mountain is steep, and most of them are difficult to climb because there is no road to follow. Moreover, the terrain here is very special, less than two kilometers inside the Gangu Mountain is Highway No. 4, which is connected to it by a simple road that can be driven at the bottom of the mountain.

Once something happens to Gangu Mountain, it is very easy to reinforce it. Standing on the top of Gangu Mountain and looking north, you can see the undulating mountains in Daxin County, Guangxi, China, over the Liugong Mountain and Liu Po Mountain, which are like two ghosts. The mountains here are steep, there are many mountain passes, the roads in the whole area are scarce, complex and difficult to navigate, and it is difficult for large troops to move. A company of the "shadow troops" was lurking in the Gangu Mountains and was on standby, attacking and retreating. In particular, there is a rare piece of yellow laterite flat land of about 20,000 square meters on the halfway slope of Gangu Mountain, which is overgrown with bamboo. From a distance, the bamboo forest was as green as a flawless piece of jade. Up close, the bamboo forest looks like a green barrier. The fine and dense bamboo forest, evergreen in all seasons, light and delicate one by one, has not been unearthed before the knots, thin leaves, sparse knots, snow can not fall, wind blows can not break. Even Captain Huang Ming, the commander of the first company of the "Shadow Army" at that time, was quite satisfied after seeing the terrain there, and politely declined the suggestion of the defenders to live in a cave for the sake of safety. Indeed, the artillery of the Chinese army in that bamboo forest could not be hit, and if there was a sneak attack, there were two companies in front of Captain Huang Ming to block it. Even if it can't be stopped, the five "Mars 200" trucks produced by "Lao Maozi" and the "Willis" jeep produced by Huang Ming's Yankees are at the foot of the mountain, and they can escape to the car in a few minutes, just drive away, and Huang Ming is absolutely not obliged to help the defenders hold their positions. Sleeping? It's all about vacation! Huang Ming didn't want to go into a cave to suffer that foreign crime.

"A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts" This is a famous saying in "Yanzi Spring and Autumn". Li Yingxian made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the Chinese army was playing with him and "driving ducks to the shelves" and drove the reinforced company of the "shadow army" to the top of Gangu Mountain. Then, the Type 66 152mm howitzers of one regiment and the Type 56 160mm mortars of two battalions fell from the sky, causing the reinforced company of the "shadow troops" to suffer a catastrophe in an absolutely unimaginable way. Even a company in charge of the garrison of Gangu Mountain suffered from the pond fish.

Less than half an hour earlier, intelligence had been transferred from the intelligence department of the General Headquarters of the Army. It is said that it was reported by fishermen that a "Type 053H" Jianghu I.-class frigate of the Chinese Navy, the No. 552 "Yibin Ship", appeared in the waters off the coast of Xian'an and lingered near the waters off the coast of Xian'an. Xian'an's defenders were quite nervous and had entered a state of full alert, always on guard against the 552 "Yibin Ship" sailing to the shore. If the two 100mm guns on the ship "dong", "dong", "dong" come to shoot a few guns, then the losses will be large. If the huge "Upstream-1" missile on the ship hits the shore again, there is simply no way to imagine what the consequences will be.

And Li Yingxian's first reaction was that the No. 552 "Yibin Ship" was here to pick up the scouts of the "Sword Force". In Li Yingxian's view, although the No. 552 "Yibin Ship" has strong firepower, it dares to attack land targets with a single ship, and putting aside political factors and judging from a military point of view, it is also an international joke. Therefore, he ordered the public security forces of Xian'an to strictly guard against death, and the "shadow troops" entered the jungle near Xian'an in platoons and searched closely. The 308th Regiment of the 692nd Division of the Vanguard Army Division was ordered to speed up the march and quickly encircle the Xian'an area.

However, the scouts of the "Sword Force" actually gave up the No. 552 "Yibin Ship" that came to meet them and fled in the direction of Meiwangling. Li Yingxian stared at Meiwangling on the map, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap like Gangu Mountain. He frowned and muttered for a long time before reporting his thoughts to the Army General Headquarters of the Vietnamese Monkeys.

The most painful thing happened to Lai. Less than half an hour after he reported his thoughts to the Army General Headquarters of the Vietnam Monkeys, he received a personal call from the Commander-in-Chief of the Army General Headquarters, General Nguyen Huu Linh. Nguyen Huu Lam told Le Anh Hien that the "big guys" of the Vietnamese monkey army were furious when they heard Le Anh Hien's idea, and directly reprimanded Le Anh Hien for "fearing the enemy like a tiger and passively avoiding war." "Lai's approach is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. The "big guys" of the Vietnamese Monkey Army also ordered that the battle to encircle and annihilate the remnants of China's "Sword Army" should be handled by Major General Ngo Van Yen, commander of the First Military Region. He also ordered Major General Rong Zhiyong, deputy chief of the General Staff of the Army General Headquarters, to immediately rush to the First Military Region Headquarters to assist Wu Wenyan in commanding. Finally, he ordered Le Anh Hyun to immediately hand over the command of the "shadow troops" to Wu Wenyan, and under the protection of Major Pei Yuanying of the Third Department of the General Intelligence Bureau, he returned to the Army General Headquarters with Major General Du Wenlin.

Li Yingxian was speechless for a while, and said to Ruan Huu Lin on the phone: "Comrade General, there is such a sentence in China's "Historical Records of Shang Jun", which is called 'Listening is cong, looking inside is clear, and self-victory is strong.'" ’……”

The meaning of this sentence is: "To hear to the ears and to think about the heart is called understanding; Self-reflection is called wisdom; Those who can be humble and self-denying are called strong. ”

How could Nguyen Youlin not understand Lai Anh Hyun's words? He said very melancholy: "Old comrade-in-arms, I hope you can correctly understand the decision of Comrade General!" ……”

Li Yingxian sighed again and said, "My commander-in-chief, I still have this bit of party spirit!" Alas...... 'The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!' ’……”

The Tu Tai Airport in Vietnam is cloudy and exudes an eerie atmosphere, and the air is filled with a feeling of oppression. It's a suffocating feeling. Li Yingxian is full of "the world is long and the time is over, and this hatred is endless." "There is a three-foot sword with unpaid ambitions, and the hometown is separated by thousands of mountains". Alas, "In front of the red jade steps, ask what is the matter, and lead it away." On the lake and sea, a tingting of gulls and herons, half sail smoke and rain. There is no way to serve the country, empty self-complaint, and there is a strategy to spit out from whom. Tie a flat boat under the weeping rainbow pavilion, and the perch can be boiled. Get drunk and stay behind. Sing a song and send the road to the king. All over the south and north of the Yangtze River, where do you want to go. The world is not over, and the years are still as promised. Try to raise your head, smile and ask Qingtian, the sky is speechless. ”

Le Yingxian is a kind of suffocation here that "has no way to serve the country", but the headquarters of the First Military Region of the Vietnamese Monkey is busy, full of tension of "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it, and the light of the armor is opening to the sun".

When it was nearly dusk, Major General Rong Chi Dung, deputy chief of the General Staff of the General Headquarters of the Monkey Army of Vietnam, who had arrived in a hurry, saluted Lieutenant General Ngo Van Yen, commander of the Military Region of the First Military Region, and said: "Comrade Wen Yan, I am here to report on the order of General Nguyen Huu Linh, Commander-in-Chief of the Army General Headquarters!" ……”

After Wu Wenyan returned the salute, he hugged Rong Zhiyong and laughed "haha...... Old classmate, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I'm looking forward to you! How did you learn to be polite. Haha......"

Although Wu Wenyan is not tall, he speaks with a high decibel level, which makes Rong Zhiyong's ears "buzz". Rong Zhiyong also hugged Wu Wenyan and said with a smile: "It's not!" Since graduating from the Frunze Military Academy in Big Brother, we have been in different positions, fighting for world peace. Hehe...... Comrade Wenyan, tell me about the situation! ……”

"Huh...... I said old classmate, your temperament is still so anxious, and you don't take a break to ask directly about the situation! Well, you are a higher-level chief, and it is good to come to the First Military Region to guide the work, and to understand the situation first. ......" Wu Wenyan said this, waved over a Vietnamese monkey wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel, and introduced to Rong Zhiyong: "This is Comrade Pan Van Lin, deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the First Military Region, who has just returned from Mei Wangling. Comrade Wenlin, please report the situation to Comrade Zhiyong! ……”

"Yes! ......" After saluting Rong Zhiyong, Pan Wenlin walked to the sand table and introduced: "Report to Comrade Major General, Meiwangling is staggered from south to north with five more prominent peaks, which is an important commanding height east of the border pass between Pingliao and Dongzhong, and the border river faces the Banxing and Zhangyi areas of the enemy's Dongzhong Commune in Fangcheng County, which is an important barrier between Hengmo and Pingliao. The five hills of Meiwangling from south to north, we call them 712.8 highland, 900.3 highland, and 1060.2 highland, which is the main peak of Meiwangling. There are also 881.7 heights and 970.2 heights. The enemy numbered these five heights as Heights 3 to 7 in turn. The Meiwangling mountain is steep and steep, the valley is vertical and horizontal, there are many rocks, the top to the mountainside is overgrown with weeds, the jungle below the mountainside is dense, and the rain cracks and ditches at the foot of the mountain are many and deep. There are often clouds and fog above the mountainside, which have a certain impact on observation, shooting, and sports. Once the Meiwangling area is controlled, it will be possible to directly control the area about seven kilometers in front of Zhangyi and Banxing in the enemy's territory to the north, and block a seven-kilometer-long road from Qiaoma to Ling'ao along the border. ……”

Rong Zhiyong nodded and said, "Hmm...... Comrade Wenlin, how did we deploy in the Meiwangling area? ……”

Pan Wenlin pointed at the sand table with a thin wooden stick, and said respectfully: "Report to Comrade Major General, it is the 10th Battalion of the 188th Regiment of the 125B Division that our army is defending Meiwangling. According to the enemy situation and the terrain in front of Meiwangling, the 125B Division formed a long position with a narrow front, long depth, and reinforced sides according to the topography of the Meiwangling area. Garrisoned on the 1060.2 heights of the main peak of Meiwangling was a platoon of Company B of the 10th Battalion. On Heights 970.2, which the enemy called Heights 7, the 10th Battalion had only one infantry squad of Company B. In order to block the enemy's road from Qiaoma to Ling'ao along the border, and also to meet the needs of the struggle, the 10th Battalion deployed two Type 67 82mm mortars on the 970.2 heights, and also equipped with two Type 54 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns. On Heights 881.7, which the enemy called Heights 6, the 10th Battalion placed two infantry squads of Company B. On Heights 900.3, which the enemy called Heights 4, the 10th Battalion placed an infantry squad of Company B. On Heights 712.8, which the enemy called Heights No. 3, the 10th Battalion placed two infantry squads of Company B. The 10th Battalion learned the lesson of the 79 years of warfare, due to the weak deployment on our flanks, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. The two platoons of Company A were deployed on the west side of Meiwangling, and worked closely with the Pingliao Independent Battalion deployed in the first-line areas of Boliang and Gexian to prevent the enemy from encircling Meiwangling in a roundabout way. Another platoon of Company A was deployed to the east side of Mui Wong Ridge in close coordination with the Bakken Independent Battalion, which was mainly responsible for police equipment. The command post of the 10th Battalion Battalion led the C Company and the artillery company as a reserve to the unnamed high ground on the northwest side of the 1060.2 Heights. ……”
