At 19:30 at night, night fell again, but the attack on Vietnamese defense forces by our People's Liberation Army did not stop.

Since the sixth company and the first row cut off the contact with its superiors and quickly penetrated into the rear of the 387 highland in the depths of the Vietnamese army, the main force of xx has arrived at the line of the 387 highland in the Vietnamese army and launched an attack formation. The time point is almost consistent with Wen Feng and the others starting from Tongdeng Village. The most intense confrontation since the war began is about to begin.

The attack had been more than ten hours since it started. Since breaking through the Red River line, the xx army quickly developed into the depths of the enemy, captured 191, the slopes and climbed together, and fought to the 331 Highland. At night, when our army expanded its results, a mountain blocked our army's way like a nail.

This is the enemy's 387 Heights. The Vietnamese army is very cunning, because the 387 Heights is the key point of the enemy's defense in the Zhoudeng area and is the gate to Gu Shan. The enemy has arranged a whole battalion of troops here, and the entire mountain is full of solid fortifications built by the Soviet Union. The Vietnamese army once said that it can withstand the attacks of our army for at least ten days. After seeing our army occupying the 331 Heights, they still shouted loudly to the soldiers of our xxx regiment on the mountain, and they came up.

"Where is the xxx team?"

"Report to the division commander, the 8th Company of the Third Battalion of the XXX Regiment has detoured to the nameless high ground on the west side of 387 and is waiting for the offensive order at any time. There are two companies of the Third Battalion behind him to support at any time!"

"How is the enemy situation? Have you figured it out?"

"The enemy troops on the 387th high ground have about one battalion, and there are 315,368 high grounds around to support them. Since our army's attack speed is very fast, the situation here is not very clear. Judging from the pre-war estimates and intelligence, this is a difficult bone to crack!"

"If you don't fight, you have to fight. My division's mission is to block all the enemies in the Gantang area and to prevent reinforcements from the 316a Division of the Vietnamese Ace Division. Time is very important, I order..."

"The artillery troops of the division are attacking the 387th high ground together and ordered the xxx regiment to attack the 387th high ground immediately! Tell us clearly to Gao Xiaodong, the commander of the xxx regiment, that I asked him to take down 387 and pull out the nail no matter how much the price it costs!"

"yes!"

No matter how clamored the enemy on the 387 Highlands, our army's offensive pace did not stop. No matter how arrogant the enemy was, he would still see the truth in the battle. In the command post of the xx Division, Commander Zhang Shuqing frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally issued a combat order to Chief of Staff Wang Youpeng.

"Wait, where is xxxtuantuan?"

"Report to the political commissar, the xxx regiment said that it was behind the 8th Company, the 7th Company had already gone up, the 9th Company served as the reserve force, and the commander of the xxx regiment Gao Xiaodong commanded the battle in the 9th Company."

"Take them to be careful. The enemy's situation is unknown. Don't fall into the ambush!"

"yes!"

Even though the xx division command post was still brightly lit at night, the division leaders did not rest for a day and were working tirelessly to pay attention to the progress of the battle.

It is said that raising troops is used for a thousand days. Since the entire army broke through the Red River line, our army has attacked Vietnam with great force. The intention of the xx army is very clear, but if it doesn’t fight, it will make the Vietnamese slow down in one breath to gain strategic advantages. If the xxx regiment can attack Langmu area in one breath to form an encirclement of the 345th Division of Gantang, then the xx army can eat a whole Vietnamese division in one breath, which is definitely an exciting victory.

As a battlefield commander, I am actually very helpless in many cases.

It is said that planning depends on people, and success depends on heaven.

Once the commander makes a decision, he must not understand the result of the battle as quickly as in the game. They can only wait in the command post.

It can be said that the order is good, and the time to wait for the result makes people feel even more painful!

This was the case with Commander Zhang Shuqing at this time. Although he had already seen Chief of Staff Wang Youpeng issued an order to the confidential place, his anxiety became stronger. Under the fierce lights of the division command post, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette and lit it. He took a few mouthfuls and looked at the political commissar beside him and asked:

"Political Commissar, are you a little worried that the xxx group will not be able to take the 387th high ground?"

The division commander Zhang Shuqing is a veteran who joined the army for 39 years. He fought against the Japanese devils and fought with the Kuomintang army. In 1958, he was still in Xinjiang, so he failed to participate in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea has always been a great regret in life. However, this time he had the opportunity to take the xx division to Vietnam for a self-defense counterattack. He was determined to show the prestige of the xx division in this battle. Therefore, he was well equipped with all the details of this battle, and even the positions of the platoon were always kept in his mind.

"I'm a little worried, I always feel that we're going too far!"

Seeing Chief of Staff Wang Youpeng go out to convey the order, the political commissar Yu Zhiguo was not very relieved, so even when he issued the order, he obviously hesitated, as if he had a bad feeling. He pointed to the combat terrain map in front of him and frowned:

"When the xxx regiment attacked in depth, it fought in the battle of Long Jin, Yueshan, Poguang, Zhou Deng, and the battle in the 331 Highlands. Except for the battle between the 331 Highlands, for several hours and a fierce battle, there was no decent resistance in other areas. I suspect that the Vietnamese army simply shrinks its troops, and it is very likely that it is to stumbling to us somewhere!"

"Yes, based on the degree of cunning of the Vietnamese army, I feel that there is a problem here, but our task is very arduous and time is very tight. There is no way. Even if we can't defeat it, we have to try it!"

Commander Zhang Shuqing nodded. He agreed with Political Commissar Yu Zhiguo's opinion, but he could only sigh helplessly and said:

"Actually, when we were customizing the war plan, we considered the 387 Highland!"

Commander Zhang Shuqing pointed to the 387th Highland of the combat sand table. The target was not the west side of the 8th Company of the Third Battalion of the XXX Regiment at this time, but the south of the 387th Highland. He said regretfully:

"There are many routes to the 387 Highland, but in fact the most suitable one is a small road south of the 387 Highland. I have learned about it by military scouts before. This is a small road taken by local people. It is not suitable for mechanized operations. It is even very difficult to walk in some places. However, the enemy's fortifications are not easy to build there. If an elite soldier suddenly penetrates from here, it will inevitably cause the enemy on the 387 Highland!"

"Why didn't the xxx regiment take into account this route when attacking here in the end?"

As a political worker, Political Commissar Yu Zhiguo did not participate in the military combat meeting of the division. It was the first time he heard this situation, so he asked in confusion.

"The reason is very simple. After all, the Vietnamese were taught by us. We knew that our army had always attacked them unpreparedly. Therefore, according to our Air Force reconnaissance plane observation, the enemy buried a large number of landmines there some time ago!"

Commander Zhang Shuqing shook his head with some slight scruples and said, "If we are given time, as long as a company gradually clears the mines in that direction, it can also greatly restrain the enemy, but now..."
