After he took office, He Zhimin took many effective measures to deal with the harassment of Vietnamese "monkey" agents and achieved great results. In particular, the local militia was also organized, trained a little, and then closely cooperated with the troops, which once became a powerful force against Vietnamese "monkey" agents. Encouraged by us, the Vietnamese "monkey" agent returned to Yang, and made frequent troubles during this period.
In the early morning of the next day after the kidnapping of female soldiers by the agent battalion directly under the Vietnam Northern Military Region near the "Qianzhi", the 7th platoon of the 406th battalion of Vietnam's "Monkey" 82 1 agent group sneaked into China from the mountain pass on the west side of134 highland, and launched an attack on Baliping "Xin", a shallow and deep area on the west side of Balihe East Mountain. When listening to the radio station of "Monkey" in Vietnam, I found that "Monkey" still didn't know what he was bombing after the withdrawal of Vietnamese agents, thinking it was just an ordinary communication station. It was not until many days later that the "spy" lurking in our Vietnamese "monkey" sent back information that the Vietnamese "monkey" knew what was fried. Afterwards, our army found that only the power supply of Simberlin radar was damaged, and it was put into battle after simple repair.
It is said that the "Simberlin" artillery positioning radar was imported from Britain, and it was also said that it was imported from Sweden. There is also a saying that Sweden imports two sets and Britain imports two sets. Their performances are basically the same, but they all have the nature of imitating samples. The products of these two companies are imported for comparison. One was placed in Beijing to imitate surveying and mapping, and the other was sent to the front line of Laoshan in southern Xinjiang. The performance of "Simberlin" radar was quite good at the front line of Laoshan at that time, and the deployment position could scan the whole Laoshan area and the area south of Qingshuikou. Several battles to suppress Vietnamese "monkey" artillery positions were embarrassing. There is an old saying in China, it is called "black under the lamp". The original intention is that ancient people used bowls, dishes, lamps and other utensils to inject animal and vegetable oil and light wick lighting. When lighting, due to the shielding of the lamp itself, dark areas will be produced under the lamp. The extension means that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Because there are our army 100mm mortar positions and the ninth company station of a border defense regiment in Baishiyan area near the deployment of Simberlin radar, the whole deployment environment is relatively safe. It is this "relative safety" carelessness that gives Vietnamese "monkey" agents an opportunity and causes the loss of long-term quarrels.
The reason for the attack on the "Simberlin" radar should also start from the fierce battle of "Songmaoling". Because of the limitation of the position line, it is difficult for our PLA to play good tactical actions in the first line. It can be seen from many memoirs that in the battle of Songmaoling, the Vietnamese "monkey" was indeed a "good apprentice" of the People's Liberation Army. In fact, they give full play to the principle of "concentrating superior forces" that the PLA is best at, and often form the advantage of playing more and less positions. However, the main event must be artillery. According to intelligence, the Vietnamese "Monkey" definitely has more large-caliber artillery than our PLA, and there is a mountain parallel to the "Songmaoling" behind the Qingshui River of the Vietnamese "Monkey", which is the best artillery position. However, in actual combat, Vietnamese "monkeys" did not show more fierce artillery fire there than our army.
Our PLA has a whole artillery division behind the "Songmaoling" mountain. Vietnamese "monkeys" are brave enough to fight against the artillery of the People's Liberation Army, but just like a Japanese wooden detachment on Guadalcanal used mortars to fight against the US military, it was a bit overreaching. In other words, it should be a tactical mistake for Vietnamese "monkeys" to fight artillery with our PLA.
Our PLA guns are very powerful. How can they be so accurate? The Vietnamese "Monkey" commander was puzzled and finally got the answer from the map: "The problem lies in the'164' highland! ……"
Due to the location and height of the "164" highland, Vietnamese "monkey" decided that the PLA had artillery observation posts and command posts in the "164" highland, which could overlook their artillery positions and command artillery fire accurately. Therefore, the Vietnamese "monkey" ordered the frontline troops to win the "164" highland at all costs, otherwise the artillery could not provide fire cover. No wonder the Vietnamese "monkey" infantry was possessed and beat "164" with red eyes. The problem is that there is no PLA artillery in the "164" highland, only one infantry platoon. Later, a staff officer of our People's Liberation Army said: "164" That hellhole, a shell blew out a cloud of smoke, and it was difficult to distinguish between people and ghosts 30 meters away. Who is crazy to set up an artillery observation post there! ……"
Ha ha, Vietnamese "monkey" is an official, what a fucking bureaucrat! Then how can our PLA artillery be so accurate? Relying on artillery observation stations is a traditional idea, and the thinking of Vietnamese "monkey" commander should be said to be in line with the routine. The problem is that our PLA artillery didn't rely on camera lens and direction finder at that time. Vietnamese "monkeys" suffered this time, and "Americans" didn't give them anything to eat. Our PLA artillery can play so well, and the "Simberlin" radar is indispensable.
"Simberlin" radar is different from other radars. It doesn't need to stare at the target to direct artillery fire like the traditional artillery aiming radar, but it is deeply hidden behind the PLA. The gun of the Vietnamese "monkey" can't hit it, and it can't see the position of the Vietnamese "monkey". Perhaps this is the reason why Vietnamese "monkey" agents didn't notice.
How does Simberlin radar command artillery fire? The working principle of Simbolin radar is quite special. The antenna of this radar faces the sky and does not rotate, and the scanning range covers the front of the entire "Songmaoling" Vietnamese "monkey". It does not look at the position of the Vietnamese "monkey", but specializes in pondering the shells that the Vietnamese "monkey" fell from the sky. Military fans know that shells don't turn, and they all have fixed trajectories. As soon as Vietnam's "monkey" shell was released, our PLA's "Simberlin" radar began to track its flight trajectory. Thus, three points are obtained. Considering the influence of headwind and wind speed, the trajectory of the projectile can be accurately calculated. The topographic map of the battlefield is pre-stored in the computer connected to the radar. As long as the trajectory is calculated, the position of the Vietnamese "monkey" gun can be calculated immediately with a position accuracy of plus or minus ten meters. You can even infer from the trajectory what kind of artillery was used by the "monkey" in Vietnam! The next thing is simple. The radar station directly informed us of the PLA artillery group: how many positions and guns the Vietnamese "monkey" had.
As a result, Vietnamese "monkey" shells are still flying in the air. The artillery shells of our People's Liberation Army have been discharged and fired at the artillery positions of the Vietnamese "Monkey". One side is blind shooting, and the other side is a cannon staring at your forehead. Originally, the artillery of the People's Liberation Army was several times more than that of the Vietnamese "monkey", so in the eyes of the infantry, we saw that a shell of the Vietnamese "monkey" had just left the muzzle, and a group of shells of the People's Liberation Army had been smashed like fireflies. Before the second shot, many Vietnamese "monkey" guns were shot away. Vietnam has fewer and fewer "monkey" guns. By dawn, it was not a group of shells that greeted a Vietnamese "monkey" gun, but as soon as the Vietnamese "monkey" fired, all positions of the artillery of the People's Liberation Army rushed to fire at it. Just like the memoir written by the head of the People's Liberation Army who participated in the war: "Groups of artillery shells are like a market, crows and crows desperately go to one place! ……"
1954, China made a film called Scout Crossing the River, which described the "day before yesterday" in the battle of crossing the river. We lost a Zhou Changxi, and it took us two or three days to get the information of the enemy howitzer position. "Simulated Berlin" was completed in only three or five seconds. What's more, this thing can track more than 20 targets at a time, that is to say, even if you fire 20 Vietnamese "monkeys" at the same time, this fun can still command the artillery to kill you 20 times at the same time. The harder the Vietnamese "monkeys" fight back, the heavier the losses. Because they didn't figure it out, there is only one way to deal with the fun of Simberlin radar, and that is not to fire. If you don't fire, there will be no shells in the air, and there is nothing you can do. If we can't fight again after it is repaired, it will be too contemptuous of our PLA artillery. This is the most basic kung fu.
Attacking "Simberlin" radar is really "Long Lin, you will die if you touch it." In order to reverse the passive situation, the CMC has strengthened its determination to crack down on Vietnamese "monkey" agents. Soon, the battle plan of "former" deputy commander He Zhimin was approved. There are few comments on it: "Vietnam's' monkey' secret service team can come in, why can't our scouts go out?"
There is a lot of information about the attack on the "Simberlin" radar, which shows that it was done by the "shadow troops" of the "monkey" in Vietnam, and some intelligence analysts also agree with this. There is a simple reason. From a purely military point of view, the attack on Simberlin radar is calm, organized, intense and sophisticated. It's really classic, and it wasn't done by Vietnamese "monkey" special forces. In fact, this is just a naive trick of Feng Deying's "false eye" and angering the "Sword" reconnaissance team.
The Second Military Commission captured the information of the "insiders" and "geckos" of the PLA lurking in the key departments of the "monkey" in Vietnam. The main content of the information is that the main forces of Vietnam's "monkey" and "shadow troops" have not yet been dispatched, and only one reinforced company has been secretly transferred to the mountainous area in the northeast of Guangyuan, Gaoping Province, waiting in secret. After analysis, its operational purpose is to find fighters and annihilate our "Sword" reconnaissance detachment. The intelligence of "Gecko" is clear. The culprit of attacking Simberlin radar is not the "shadow troops" that gnash our teeth, but a platoon of Vietnam's "Monkey" 82 1 406 Battalion 7 Company.
The area where the "shadow troops" lurk is across the river from Shuolong Village, daxin county, Guangxi, China, which belongs to subtropical mountain jungle and karst landform. Here, the Rocky Mountains stand tall and steep, with deep valleys, criss-crossing streams and numerous mountain passes. The roads in the whole area are scarce and complicated, and it is difficult for large troops to move.
Deputy Commander He Zhimin attached great importance to this information. In order to verify the information, He Zhimin specially sent Zhang Guangnan, a scout of the "former finger" reconnaissance office, to sneak into the area for investigation with the cooperation of a certain regiment of Guangxi border defense. The situation gradually became clear, and the strengthening of the "shadow troops" even lurked behind the "730" highland four kilometers inside the "monkey" in Vietnam. The ambush site was well chosen. The slope of "730" highland is steep, mostly between 50 and 70 degrees. It is covered by bamboo forests, shrubs and flying grasses more than two meters high, and there are many natural caves. It is foggy and humid all year round, with abundant rainfall and large temperature difference between day and night. On a clear day with good visibility, this mountain overlooks the territory of China. The "730" highland faces the Vietnamese "monkey" on the border of China, just like two ghosts close the door and two mountains stand tall. The "Liugong Mountain" on the left is 670 meters above sea level, with a row of Vietnamese "monkeys". The "Liupo Mountain" on the right is 630 meters above sea level, and there is a row of Vietnamese "monkeys". "Liugong Mountain" and "Liupo Mountain" have towering cliffs, dense caves and dense vegetation. The narrowest part of the open space between the two mountains is about 800 meters, which is also a natural obstacle to stop the attack.
He Zhimin, with several staff officers from the War Department and the Reconnaissance Department, worked hard all night, and initially worked out the operational plan of "introducing from the east to the west and killing the enemy with fake soldiers". After listening to the report of "former" deputy commander He Zhimin, the military region operational meeting initially thought the plan was too bold. After all, it was the first time that the whole system went out to fight after the self-defense counterattack in 1979, and "cautious first battle" was the traditional operational principle of our army. The focus of the dispute is mainly the second stage, that is, going deep into the territory of Vietnam's "monkey" for nearly 10 kilometers and raiding the headquarters of 82 1 Special Service, which is already very risky. If we cross the territory of Vietnam's "monkey" in this way and March more than 0/00 kilometers behind enemy lines, even if the "Sword" reconnaissance detachment arrives smoothly, how much fighting capacity can it have? This is very different from raiding the White Tiger Regiment and destroying the regimental headquarters of the puppet army.
Just as the dispute was in full swing, Ju, deputy commander of the military region and artillery commander, patted the table and said, "I said Xiao He, don't bother, save some energy for the second stage. ..... I will assign you a'152' heavy artillery regiment and two'160' heavy mortar battalions. Hey, hey ... I'm going to kill the chicken with an ox knife! ..... As long as you drive a company of Vietnamese "monkeys" that "shadow troops" to the mountain of "730" highland, I will even pack a company of Vietnamese "monkeys" on the mountain! ……"
Military fans all know that the "152" heavy artillery mentioned by Deputy Commander Ju refers to the star of our artillery: 66-type 152 mm howitzer. China introduced the Soviet "D20"152mm heavy artillery technology, adopted the existing 130mm cannon gun frame, and developed the domestic heavy artillery in the mid-1960s, which was in the late 1950s. Later, the gun mount was improved, the elevation angle was increased, and it served in the army on a large scale. It is a reliable, durable and powerful heavy artillery. Type 66 152 mm howitzer is nearly 8.7 meters long and 2.42 meters wide, with a total weight of 5.7 tons and a range of 20 kilometers. The bomb is equipped with sub-packed anti-personnel explosive grenades, flares and smoke bombs. , all manually loaded, firing rate of six rounds per minute, nine gunmen. Among them, the main launch of 152 mm Grenade is quite amazing. The weight of artillery shells alone reaches 57 kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of a person. After the explosion, it can kill various targets within hundreds of meters.
The "160" heavy mortar mentioned by Deputy Commander Ju refers to the Type 56160mm mortar. Li Yunlong, the hero of the TV series "Bright Sword", often talks about that sentence, which is "Damn it! ……"
Type 56160mm mortar is said to be a mortar, but its size is higher than that of American105mm howitzer and no less than that of Soviet122mm howitzer. In other words, the barrel length is much longer than that of the Type 54 122 mm howitzer equipped by our army at that time. And this fun is not only cumbersome, but also very troublesome to load. To load a Grenade weighing more than 40 kilograms, at least two gunners have to * * * put it into the tail of the gun, lock the button, put it on the base, manually pull the firing device, and the shell will be fired from the barrel. The firing rate of this game will not exceed two rounds per minute. Type 56 160mm mortar is scary, with a maximum range of 8.3km and a killing area of 3,000m2. It is said that this kind of gun once participated in the Golden Gate artillery battle. At that time, a battalion of the People's Liberation Army was stationed in Xiaodeng Island to attack the targets on Xiaojinmen, Dadan Island and Erdan Island. After the war, Hao Bocun, then commander of Little Golden Gate, was deeply impressed by this and marveled at the great power of this gun. The crater formed by the landing was more than one person deep, and many positions of the Kuomintang army hidden behind the mountain were destroyed, which was simply "comparable to the American howitzer M- 10 1".
The problem is that these two kinds of guns are so heavy, especially the 5.7-ton 152 mm heavy gun, and the 3-ton liberation CA30 commonly equipped by the PLA can't be dragged at all. As the latest tractor of Type 66152mm howitzer, there are not many tractors named "Dongfanghong" or "Shaanxi Automobile", and the noise is extremely high. Even if these two guns are barely in place and make such a big noise, the election attempt is self-evident. Before the start of the Battle of Recovering Faka Mountain, Vietnamese "Monkey" deployed a Soviet-made M-160160mm mortar battalion between Highland 5 and Highland 3, which was noticed by our PLA. This leads to the story that "the scouts went deep into the tiger's den and guided our artillery to destroy the enemy's heavy artillery positions."
After listening to the words of Deputy Commander Ju, Director Liang of the Warfare Department was startled and said, "Deputy Commander Ju, the terrain of Shuolong Village is rather complicated, so many ... so many heavy guns, how can you get them in secret? ……"
Deputy Commander Ju proudly waved and said, "I still have confidence in my troops! ..... As long as the commander nodded, Lao tze ordered them to go up tonight, including three base shells. ……"
The heroism of General Ju Lao moved Deputy Commander He to tears, because he knew how difficult it was to drive heavy artillery into that place. When Deputy Commander Ju said this, his face full of vicissitudes of life suddenly showed a trace of sophistication. To be precise, it should be naughty: "How did you sneak in?" Hehe ... the mountain people have their own tricks! ..... but this is a secret, can't leak! ..... However, I can give you some information. At that time, I also went to the self-defense counterattack in 79 years! ……"
Director Liang of the War Department smiled and said humbly, "Deputy Commander Ju, can you tell me your opinion? ……"
The deputy commander turned to look at the military commander and saw that the military commander was smiling at him. Then he said, "Simply put, it is a word, that is,' Deploy the artillery battle formation forward'." ..... more specifically? That is, considering that Shuolong Village is a mountainous jungle area with narrow land and few roads, it is very difficult for artillery units to maneuver. ..... In order to increase the depth of fire support, reduce the number of transfers, and keep the position relatively stable, I will ask the participating artillery to carry forward the traditional methods of melee enemy annihilation and boldly deploy the battle formation forward. This ..... this artillery group at all levels is arranged in front as far as possible, and the'152' heavy artillery group is no more than five kilometers away from the border. In this way, the maximum depth of fire support can reach 15 km, which can completely control the front and depth of the' 730' highland of Vietnam's' Monkey' and the' Liugongshan' and' Liuposhan' combat systems. Hey, hey ... you can also block Highway 4 behind the' 730' highland! .....'160' forced me to approach the border, focusing on the strong fortifications and resident caves of Monkey in Vietnam, especially the hidden fortifications behind the mountains. ..... Mortars that's' mountain guns', shells can hit the back of the mountain! Ha ha laugh ... 8.3 km range, 4 1 kg shell, what's the momentum? ..... Enough for Vietnamese monkeys to drink a pot! ……"
Zhou Fengshan, chief of staff of the Military Region, said to Director Liang of the War Department: "Director Liang, I would like to add one more point! ..... Is that after the fighting starts, we must organize the coordination of the artillery, and don't let the deputy commander bow so many guns hit our scouts. ……"
Deputy Commander Ju flipped his eyelids and said to Chief of Staff Zhou, "Are you your own scout? ..... How is that possible! The so-called "shadow troops" of Vietnamese "monkeys" are hiding behind the "730" highland, which is an "anti-inclined plane", and Lao Tzu's gun can't be hit at all, unless Lao Tzu forcibly puts "160" at the foot of the mountain on the north side of the "730" highland. ..... When I say' cannonballs can hit the back hill', I mean' Liu Gongshan' and' Liu Broken Mountain'. Otherwise, I solved everything with one shot, so why use Xiao He to do such a big thing! ……"
Speaking of this, the deputy commander Ju turned to the commander of the military region and said with a clear example: "Great commander, let's play against the highland this time. ..... Last time, we took the highest point of the' Li Haixin' highland as the center and spread outward, just like a wave formed after throwing a stone in the water. The initial impact point is in the center and extends to the periphery in a circular shape. ..... So the characteristic of fighting is that the impact points are scattered, and the possibility of hitting two shells at one point is almost zero, which is very suitable for the extremely dangerous situation of' Li Haixin' highland. ..... This time, with the highest point of the' 730' highland as the center, we fought round after round, driving the' shadow troops' of the Vietnamese' monkey' into the middle like ducks. ..... I still want to create a spectacle this time, that is, to create a fire wall that gradually shrinks and rolls from big to small. Hey, hey ..... Don't talk about the "monkey" in Vietnam. The "shadow troops" only came with a reinforced company, that is, a regiment and a division. Lao Tzu also made him disappear, and there was no turning back! ……"
