The regiment headquarters is located in an air-raid shelter, with a total of more than 100 square meters and divided into several rooms. There are radio stations, telephones, maps, etc. There is even a large sand table, which is quite stylish.

I think this air raid shelter should have been dug by the troops originally stationed here. Otherwise, with the 608th Regiment just one day, it would be difficult to build the air raid shelter to such a scale in one day even if the entire regiment is in power.

"Captain Cui!" As soon as Commander Wu brought me in, Deputy Commander Liang came forward happily; "Oh! It's great to know that you can stay! Our army has a pillar at once! Come on... Let me introduce it to you!"

As he said that, he pulled me into the conference room with sand tables and maps, where several People's Liberation Army cadres were holding batons and talking about something.

"Comrades!" Deputy Commander Liang clapped his hands and shouted at the cadres: "Let me introduce you to you. This is the Battalion Commander Cui Wei and Chui I have told you. During the period when our army is carrying out the mission of covering other troops' retreat, Battalion Commander Cui will provide advice with us, so that we can warmly welcome Battalion Commander Cui to join!"

"Baoba..." Applause quickly rang out in the conference room.

I just thought about... Where did I see this scene? Oh, then I quickly remembered that what Commander Liang said just now would almost have such a similar opening remark at every meeting in modern times, such as: villagers! This is a leader from a certain place. He is here to inspect our work and let us welcome the leader with warm applause! Then, without exception, there was a crackling applause...

Damn! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head. I think the modern people's meeting modes have inherited the fine traditions of this time!

"Hello, Battalion Commander Cui!"

"Captain Cui! Receive your reputation for a long time!"

"Welcome to our troops!"

...

After a while of praising the palm, several cadres came up enthusiastically to shake hands with me and said some polite words, and I responded one by one.

Deputy Division Commander Liang introduced from the side: "This is Political Commissar Li Huaxia and Li, this is Staff Xu Zhixiong and Xu, this is Staff Lin Jun and Lin..."

A total of four or five people were introduced, and in a short while I was a little confused that the person and the name were not matched. But it doesn’t matter, because people in this era have a general term, that is, “comrade!”

"Captain Captain Cui!" Political Commissar Li shook my hand and said, "We wanted to see you last night, but considering that you were very tired from the front line, I didn't bother you, don't be surprised!"

"Where are there..." To be honest, I feel a little uncomfortable. I said that Political Commissar Li and others were just talking ordinary polite words, but I still like to speak straight on the battlefield.

"Captain Cui!" One of the staff officers continued, "With you, the combat hero, joining us, we will feel much more at ease. At first we were all worried about making mistakes because of our lack of combat experience! Now with you, we can give us a reassurance!"

"It's not just like that!" Deputy Commander Liang laughed a few meaningfully. Commander Wu and the staff couldn't help but wink at Deputy Commander Liang, and his face was a little awkward.

I was a little confused about the secret, but when Captain Wu and others were unwilling to say it, I stopped asking.

Later I learned that the 608th Regiment Commander Wu has always been the most despised unit in the 203rd Division. The reason is very simple. This regiment has a disgraceful history - their predecessor was surrendered by bandits, so they are always called "bandit regiments" in the army.

I have experienced wars for several years and of course I am very clear about this. Although the instructions from superiors do not discriminate against any army or any individual, this kind of discrimination will naturally occur in the army.

For example, when the 180th Division was defeated when the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, it was when the 180th Division was defeated! Other troops were divided into rice and white flour, while the 180th Division was divided into sorghum; each of the troops was divided into cans, and the 180th Division was good enough to eat enough, and they wanted canned food. Although the troops were killed by the Americans on the front line, the 180th Division fired air defense guns on the logistics supply line...

Fortunately, I led the soldiers to fight several turnarounds at that time, and then the 180th Division was regained the prestige of the 180th Division in the army. But what I didn’t expect was that in this modern era, I would encounter another "180th Division".

How similar are they! When the 180th Division of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, it became an eternal pain in the heart of the volunteer army. During the counterattack, our army would still have absolute superior military strength and firepower, and when it was basically completed the established combat plan, a regiment was inexplicably defeated by the Vietnamese army... This has also become a great shame in the history of the People's Liberation Army!

However, I believe that I can change the fate of the 608th Regiment, just like I changed the fate of the 180th Division on the Korean battlefield.

"Battlefield Commander Cui!" Commander Wu pulled me to the sand table, pointed to the little red flags on it and said, "Come and have a look! This is the deployment of my regiment's troops, see if there is any problem!"

It would be fine if I didn't look at it. When I saw the locations of the little red flags on the sand table, I felt a chill in my heart. I looked at the cadres beside me incredibly and said, "You... place the entire regiment's troops on the front line?"

"Yes!" Captain Wu nodded and said, "Is there any problem? We are also garrisoning at the designated location according to the orders of our superiors!"

"Where is the second line of defense?" I asked, "What unit defends?"

"The second line of defense is in this position!" Commander Wu drew a line after the same journey and said, "The troops stationed are our division's 609th Regiment, and the last line of defense is our division's 607th Regiment."

"Our defense line is not far from the straight line of the second defense line, only a few kilometers!" I said worriedly: "But the actual distance is at least ten kilometers. Do you know how many highlands and cliffs there are in these ten kilometers? You have not arranged troops to defend these highlands?"

"This..." Hearing this, all the staff members looked at me and I looked at you, and then they all shook their heads.

"Why do we need to defend?" One of the chiefs of staff asked, "The rear of the defense line is our troops, right? The Vietnamese army is all south of us, right? We shrink our formation and fight and retreat..."

I sighed and finally knew why this regiment in history had the advantage of military strength and was surrounded.

"Deputy Commander Liang, Commander Wu!" I grabbed the baton from a staff officer beside me and pointed at the sand table, saying, "My regiment's immediate plan is to arrange all the troops on the front line, and when the Vietnamese army catches up, they will fight and retreat or retreat first. This plan seems impeccable, but the mountain jungle war we are fighting now is not a plain war, and we are also in Vietnam, not China, so this plan is not feasible. We are always cut off by the Vietnamese army and then encircled each of them!"

"What? Is that serious?" After hearing my words, Deputy Commander Liang and Commander Wu were shocked, and their faces changed drastically.

"Battery Commander Cui!" This plan may have been formulated by the chiefs of staff, so they said in disbelief: "It's not as serious as you said! Now the situation of our army is very good, and the Vietnamese army has long been defeated by us and become a dog of a despair. Besides... When our engineers retreated, they exploded bridges and roads, and the Vietnamese army could not intersperse into the back of our army..."

"Mountain warfare is not as good as plain warfare!" I interrupted the Chief of Staff and said, "This plan may be possible if it is on the plain, but there are problems in the mountain jungle. The Vietnamese troops cannot intersperse in large numbers to the rear of our army, but they only need small troops, which is enough!"

As I said that, I glanced at the chief of staff and said, "I ask you, if one platoon of the Vietnamese army is stationed in the mountain jungle, how long will it take for us to take it down?"

"Da Lu..." The chief of staff had never fought a mountain jungle war at all, so he probably had no regrets about this, but he thought about it and said a number: "Da Lu will take half an hour!"

"Okay! Even if you can get it in half an hour!" I nodded and said, "Then what if the Vietnamese army interspersed a company and divided the company into three platoons and stationed on the three high grounds we must pass?"

"That's at least an hour and a half!" Captain Wu replied, "And without considering the firepower connection between the Vietnamese artillery fire and their high ground!"

"That's right!" I nodded and said, "Not to mention how many Vietnamese troops will catch up in this hour and a half, just talk about this company of the Vietnamese army! The Vietnamese army is not a fool. They will not defend the three positions to survive and die together. They can fight and retreat while they cannot defend. If they can't defend, they will retreat and fight and defend again, and delay time with us. During these times, more and more Vietnamese troops will gather around us, *** to keep all our way out... The Vietnamese army can also seize the highlands, passes, and bridges that our army must pass on to withdraw... You can calculate again, how long does it take for us to fight back to our motherland all the way back?"

With a coaxing sound, before I finished speaking, a sensation broke out in the conference room. Deputy Commander Liang and Commander Wu were stunned, and the chiefs of staff were even more pale and had no trace of blood.

I am really familiar with this tactic. I remember that on the battlefield of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the 63rd Army of our volunteer army used this tactic to drag down the 1st US Cavalry Division, the 25th US Division, the 28th British Brigade, and the 29th British Brigade, a total of 50,000 aircraft, tanks and cannons in Tieyuan with only more than 20,000 troops, and thus launched the Ieyuan Blocking Battle that shocked China and the world.
Chapter completed!
