Then Liu Shunyi followed me to the training ground to observe the soldiers' training for a while and then left in a hurry. Even his daughter Liu Yun came and met without rushing to meet him. I can understand this, because I know very well that it is a war period, and there are always too many things to be busy with for a commander.

My heart became a little nervous because of this. The main reason is that I was worried about whether the troops in my hands could be competent for the upcoming tasks, and at the same time I didn’t know what tasks the superiors would assign to us. From this point of view, my psychological quality is still not good enough, but as the saying goes, people are not plants and trees, who can truly be calm when facing a choice?

However, I was worried, but I didn't relax at all about the training of the soldiers. On the contrary, because the task was about to be imminent, the training of the soldiers became more stringent. Every day, the soldiers had to return to the camp exhausted, and sometimes they didn't even have the strength to eat.

Of course, the hard work of the soldiers was not in vain. As time goes by, the overall cooperation between the soldiers, including cooperation with helicopters, can be said to be getting closer and closer, and the time for completing the exercise mission is getting shorter and shorter.

This is also the purpose of my training, because I am very clear that if there is a little mistake in raids like us, even if it is just a little bit, it is very likely to cause a devastating blow to our troops. So I didn't dare to relax in training, and the training scenes kept changing, in the forest, in the houses, on the high ground... In short, the possible terrain and battlefield I could imagine were pulled into the range of exercise training.

However, the superior's tasks have not been issued for a long time. I think this may be because the superiors dare not use our troops easily. If it is a task that ordinary scouts can complete, they will not let us perform, so it will take a certain amount of time to choose.

So I also learned one thing, that is, if we don’t receive the task, it will be a severe test once we receive the task.

I can't tell what this feels like, I'm a little nervous and looking forward to it, because I also want to know if the set of tactics I designed are useful, and I also want to know if the soldiers' training during this period has been in vain.

Finally, one day more than half a month later, the superior's task was finally issued.

It was a stormy night... It sounded like something was going to happen, but of course it wasn't. In order to help the soldiers adapt to wars in various weather, especially night battles, we were still conducting arduous training with the helicopter pilots that night.

Just as I was using the radio station to command the soldiers to attack a high ground while commanding the soldiers to attack a high ground in the night, a correspondent suddenly appeared in front of me and reported: "Battery Commander! Political Commissar Yang asked us to return to the camp and the whole army returned to the camp!"

"Um!" I was stunned when I heard this, took a deep breath and nodded, knowing that the task I had been waiting for was finally here!

Sure enough, when I hurried back to the base with the soldiers, Political Commissar Yang pulled me aside without saying a word and whispered: "The order is coming down, give the soldiers a day's rest!"

"Yes!" I responded and turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Disband on the spot and rest for a day!"

At the beginning, the soldiers hadn't reacted yet. When they heard clearly that they were really giving them a day off, they couldn't help but cheered loudly. In the past few months, the training has been followed by one day, and even if they were resting, it was only a few hours. In order to enhance their adaptability, I often asked the soldiers to gather urgently while they were resting and then quickly entered the combat state. So at this time, I actually heard that there was such a good thing to take a day off, so I couldn't cheer.

But some of the soldiers looked at me with a strange look, such as the hometown man... He is a smart person, so of course he also understood that there was a reason for this sudden rest. So I winked at him and signaled him not to say it out for the time being.

I didn't tell the soldiers that there was a reason. It's not that I don't believe in the psychological qualities of the soldiers. I can even say that... My training is harder than the real battlefield, so going to the battlefield is still a relief to some extent. I don't want to tell them that they don't have to sleep because of excitement, speculation, excitement, etc. After all, after more than three months of hard training, they also want to try their skills on the battlefield. And this is the first time. If they really don't have a good rest because of these, they will not be able to go to the battlefield in the best state.

The people from my hometown have been working with me on the battlefield for so long, but I still don’t know what I mean. After nodding, I quietly took my soldiers back to the camp with my subordinates.

"This is the task!" I followed Political Commissar Yang back to the battalion headquarters. Before he could sit down, Yang pointed to a high ground on the map and said: "The target is between Heights 303 and Heights 217. There is a artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army hidden here. This artillery unit of the Vietnamese army has caused great casualties to our front-line troops. Your mission is to knock them off!"

"The artillery battalion of the Vietnamese army?" I couldn't help but frown in confusion when I heard this.

If this task is seen by others, it is nothing strange, but for me, who has just arrived from the battlefield, I think it is a bit wrong. On the battlefield, our army's artillery fire is not only several times stronger than the Vietnamese army. Logically, our army should be suppressing the Vietnamese army completely. Why would there be a Vietnamese artillery battalion that needs us to take action?

And... since we already know the location of the Vietnamese artillery battalion, what are we waiting for? A round of artillery fire will solve the problem!

"That's right!" Lin Xue saw my doubts and explained on the side: "Since the Vietnamese artillery has always been at a disadvantage on the battlefield, they do not have a fixed artillery position. They are generally distributed or use the method of swinging to fire cold artillery to fire 3 or 5 artillery to immediately transfer the position. However, the artillery position of the Vietnamese army is somewhat different. The shape of the two high grounds 303 and 217 is very clever. They are not only steep but also naturally bent to form a arc and block the Vietnamese artillery position like a fortress. For our artillery, it is a blind spot. Our army cannot destroy it after several consecutive high-density artillery attacks. Comrades in the artillery believe that this is a problem of shooting angle, so it is difficult to completely destroy the Vietnamese artillery position by relying on the power of the artillery, so we can only rely on us!"

"Yes!" Political Commissar Yang nodded and said, "According to what I learned, this artillery position caused great casualties to the border guards stationed on the border, the superior sent several batches of reconnaissance troops to try to destroy it, but none of them succeeded. The reasons are as follows: First, the Vietnamese army has been prepared long ago, so the prevention is particularly tight; Second, the border area is full of mines laid by both sides, and it is difficult to get through the border; Third, the artillery position is seven kilometers away from my border, and the actual distance is more than twenty kilometers. It is also difficult for our army to penetrate such a long distance! So the superior thought of your troops, how about it? Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" I stood up and responded.

In fact, the superiors considered it very carefully. This mission is indeed very suitable for our army's special reconnaissance brigade equipped with helicopters to dispatch, and it is also an inspection of us.

"Very good!" Political Commissar Yang nodded at me admiringly and said, "The enemy's troops are configured like this. In addition to an artillery battalion in the deep depressions under the high ground, there are about one platoon of infantry defenders in the two high grounds. For the reason why the Vietnamese army has so few troops in these two high grounds, the superiors estimate it is like this. They believe that the Vietnamese army is insufficient, and the Vietnamese army has allocated most of the troops to the front line of the Sino-Vietnam border. In addition, the artillery position is far from the border. The Vietnamese army does not think that our army will have many troops to reach the position and pose a threat to their artillery positions. Therefore, the Vietnamese army only arranged two platoons of infantry to defend there!"

"Yeah!" I nodded. I had to admit that the analysis of the superiors was very reasonable, but I thought that the Vietnamese army would arrange so few troops on those two high grounds for other reasons.

It is obvious that... the cannons in the artillery position of the Vietnamese army are bombing our positions day and night. No matter whether the cannons will blow up the dead corner, our artillery will more or less counterattack. Where did these counterattack shells not blow up the enemy artillery? They all bombed the two high grounds, so if the Vietnamese army arranges a large number of infantry on these two high grounds, it would be a fool.

"But according to our reconnaissance..." After pausing, Political Commissar Yang continued: "At less than three miles away from the east and west sides of the artillery position, there are motorized troops and *** trunks of a company of the Vietnamese army stationed respectively. The physical strength and equipment of the *** trunks are unknown. Judging from the distance, if the motorized troops react quickly... they can reinforce artillery positions within ten minutes, that is, you must resolve the battle within ten minutes, otherwise you will likely be entangled by the enemy. Can you do it?"

"Ten minutes?" I was stunned when I heard this.

This time is too short. Usually, it takes about ten minutes to land from the helicopter and then take down a high ground during training. In addition, we have to spend some time blowing up the Vietnamese cannons, and have time to board the helicopter and retreat... it takes at least twenty minutes.

However, this is too different from the time we actually have. Ten minutes is only enough for us to complete the task. In other words, we cannot escape...
Chapter completed!
