Chapter 279 The login begins

The North Vietnamese training troops have received high-intensity training at Do Son Training Camp for more than two months, but the instructors still believe that the training effect has not reached the ideal level, and there is still a gap compared with the Hai Han Militia. Of course, there are objective reasons for this gap

In addition to weapons, there are also differences in the treatment received by soldiers, the way officers perform political work, etc. According to the original plan of the Military and Police Department, the trained troops must at least train with the spearmen.

It took two months to put it on the battlefield and accept the test of actual combat. Unexpectedly, the Annan war situation was overturned by South Vietnam in a short period of time, and the Zheng regime had to drag this unformed force to the battlefield to be used as a surprise force.

.

The mixed phalanx tactics of muskets and spears designed by the Military and Police Department for the North Vietnamese training troops have high requirements for the march and operation of the array. The spearmen are not the main force in fighting, but their role is mainly to protect the safety of the musketeers.

Especially when the attack is frustrated and the musketeers need to retreat to a safe area to reorganize the square formation, the spearmen must stand in front to block the enemy's offensive - facing the South Vietnamese army using the same tactics, they need to block extremely

It could be bullets fired from enemy muskets.

No one dared to have high expectations for the spearmen who were temporarily pulled out. The people at the headquarters just hoped that the North Vietnamese spearmen would not mess up their positions on the battlefield. But apart from this hidden danger

, how to put these spearmen on the predetermined battlefield is also a problem.

"Our transportation capacity is not enough." After dawn, Sun Changmi came to the headquarters tent with porridge. After hearing about the military and police department's combat plan, he immediately pointed out the problem to Yan Chujie: "We now have fifteen ships on hand.

In Yong'an Port, the "Speed" is small and has to be responsible for guarding the peripheral waters, so it cannot transport troops, so there are only 14 ships left. We have more than 800 combat personnel and 1,000 North Vietnamese trained troops.

There are more than 2,000 sailors plus the crew, and they have to bring hundreds of civilians who are responsible for logistics and baggage. It is impossible to put more than a thousand spearmen on the ship. If we rely on those small boats of North Vietnam... then it is better to let our

The boat makes two trips."

"In other words, we can't complete the troop projection at once?" Yan Chujie asked rhetorically.

"It's far from that. At least five or six big ships worth 400 materials are needed to make it successful." Sun Changmi shook his head repeatedly and said: "Even if we collect all the remaining ships in the base camp, it will probably be enough.

.”

Yan Chujie closed his eyes and thought for a moment before speaking again: "The arrow is on the string and we have to shoot it. We have to wait for the ship from the base camp to come over. The day lily is cold! If it cannot be delivered in one time, then it will be delivered in two times!"

"Boss Yan, although Yong'an Port is only a dozen nautical miles away from location No. 2, but including the time to get off and off the ship, the time interval between the two deliveries will be about six hours at best!"

Sun Changmi didn't even bother to eat breakfast. He put down the bowl and began to calculate the possible problems: "If a battle breaks out without the cover of the spear soldiers, those new recruits in North Vietnam will be able to last for six hours. It's a question.

!”

Yan Chujie responded with a calm expression: "It doesn't take that long, about an hour is enough. We will complete the second troop projection within an hour of initiating the landing!"

"How is this possible?" Sun Changmi said in astonishment.

"Take a closer look at the map." Yan Chujie pointed to the satellite map of the fighting area hanging in the conference room: "There are two small islands near the coast of Site 2. You probably ignored their role."

There are indeed two small uninhabited islands on the coast of Site 2. They are marked on the map as Hunguo Island and Hanluo Island. They are only 1,200 meters and 2,000 meters away from the coast of Site 2 respectively.

Their area is very small. The two islands together are less than one square kilometer. They are small islands on the same level as Honyu Island in the eastern sea. Because these two islands are too close to the coast and have no development potential, they are

No one had considered these two islands to be of strategic value before, and even the reconnaissance fleet did not specifically conduct reconnaissance on these two islands. They only took a look at them from a distance to confirm that both islands were uninhabited.

However, the Ministry of Shipping was short of transportation capacity and could not complete the task of delivering troops at once, but the two islands suddenly became valuable. Sun Changmi was not a fool, and since Yan Chujie meant what he said, he would naturally understand it.

He understood the other party's thoughts: "Boss Yan, you mean to use these two islands as transfer stations to shorten the transportation distance for secondary delivery? This is a great idea!"

If we make good use of these two uninhabited islands, the 30-nautical-mile round-trip voyage between the landing point and Yong'an Port can be shortened to one or two nautical miles, and the problem of transportation capacity shortage can also be well solved, let alone

Two deliveries, or even four deliveries are probably not going to be a problem. Of course, before that, the command headquarters has to plan a relatively complete landing procedure, and when to deliver some personnel to the shore first.

On the small island, when to launch a landing still needs careful study.

Two days later, the frontline command sent back the latest combat plan to the base camp, and it was approved by the Executive Committee. The landing operation began to enter the final preparation period. Under the arrangement of the frontline command, the troops who were transferred to Yongan Port

The North Vietnamese spearmen and musketeers conducted joint training for three days. Although the time was very rushed, it was better to have practiced than not to practice. The war situation had no time for this side to continue training slowly, and the headquarters could only put the dead horse to death.

Become a living horse doctor.

On January 28, the landing plan that had been prepared for many days finally entered the implementation stage. Although some good people suggested that this operation should be named "D-day", so that future historical records of the time-traveling regime would create many firsts for this operation.

This combat operation made a relatively high-level record, but the Military and Police Ministry still willfully continued to use the program code name of "Operation Full Moon" - a country boy who is not a countryman and has a combat effectiveness of 5. If he doesn't try to be more rustic, is he still a revolutionary army?

?

Zheng Bai, who received the news on the mountain defense line, finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the Haihan people did not send troops, he felt that he could defend it for three to five days at most. In the end, he would probably die here - King Zheng Jie of Qingdu had already

A death order was issued, and the troops here were not allowed to retreat again.

After the Haihan people arrived here, Zheng Bai tried every means to meet their needs. From civilians to spearmen, from reconnaissance to combat, Zheng Bai almost never refused any request made by the Haihan people. This

On the one hand, the orders from Thang Long Palace played a role, but on the other hand, Zheng Bai really hoped that the Haihan people, who were so boasted, could share their pressure, although it was impossible for the Haihan army of just over a thousand people to conquer South Vietnam.

All the troops were wiped out here, but it would also be a good thing if we could launch some harassing attacks on South Vietnam from the sea to distract South Vietnam's attention.

But when Hai Han really announced the start of the operation, Zheng Bai couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, his second son Zheng Ting was among the attacking troops who were going to land behind enemy lines this time. Thinking of the battles of the South Vietnamese Musketeers in the previous period

With the sharp lethality shown in the attack, Zheng Bai couldn't help but worry about his son's safety. According to the Haihan people's plan, North Vietnamese trained troops and spearmen will participate in the battle behind enemy lines, which means that Zheng Ting is likely to

Bearing the brunt of the attack by the South Vietnamese army - the Hai Han people will definitely not use their own troops as cannon fodder at the front. This job can only be completed by the North Vietnamese army.

As for the Haihan people's next battle plan, Zheng Bai did not know the details. The Haihan people only left Feng Annan as the liaison officer at the mountain position. From the beginning of the landing, all front-line news could only come through the channel of the Haihan liaison officer.

After obtaining it, the only thing Zheng Bai could do was to follow the Haihan people's suggestions as much as possible and mobilize troops to cooperate in counterattack operations.

However, Zheng Bai's idea that his troops would become cannon fodder was just a guess. When it was getting dark that evening, the first batch of troops that boarded the ship at Yong'an Port were not just the North Vietnamese-trained troops led by Zheng Ting. The Haihan Militia Corps

They also broke camp and boarded the ship, including combat personnel from the frontline headquarters. Also setting off at the same time were hundreds of civilians brought from the base camp. They will be responsible for assisting the engineers in building fortifications after landing.

After the fleet set off, only a small number of dock maintenance and baggage personnel were left in Yong'an Port. The bustling coastal beach in the past few days instantly returned to its almost primitive deserted state.

After setting off, the fleet made a large circle on the sea, and waited until it got dark before slowly returning to the two small islands outside the planned landing point. The day before, the "Speed" had already taken advantage of the darkness to deliver several ships.

Ten engineers went to the island and spent a day building simple trestles on the east coast of the two islands. When the fleet returned from the open sea, they could just see the navigation lights turned on by the engineers on the island, and the mainland located to the west of the island

But I can't find this trick at all.

The fleet was divided into two teams and docked on the two coasts. The ones closer to the coast were the Haihan militia and baggage troops, while the North Vietnamese training troops were placed on Hanluo Island farther away. The two thousand-strong troops were in the dark.

It took nearly three hours to land on the island. During this period, several North Vietnamese soldiers who landed on Han Luo Island fell into the sea due to mild night blindness. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and no lives were lost. The sea landing on Hunguo Island

The Han militia group was luckier. There was a section on the east side of the island where the terrain was relatively flat, making it not difficult to land.

After completing the landing, the fleet sailed away from the island and headed towards the northern night. In the next day, these two troops will lurk on the island, waiting for the opportunity to land. The frontline headquarters has also already

After moving to Hunguo Island, the headquarters personnel will also land with the large army one day later. However, there will be troops staying on Hunguo Island, and the medical team led by Morgan will set up a simple field hospital here.

Arrange some of the seriously injured people who were transferred from the front line. After their injuries are treated on the island, they will be transferred to the rear by ship depending on their severity.

Before dawn, two sea ships towed more than 20 small wooden boats back to Hung Guo Island. These boats were basically all the boats that the North Vietnamese Army could collect nearby. They would be used as floating trestles at the beginning of the landing operation.

The use of bridge piers.

During this day, the South Vietnamese army was not idle, and still arranged an offensive against the mountain defense line as always. After more than a month of fierce fighting, the North Vietnamese mountain defense line had actually become riddled with holes.

When Feng Annan and Mu Xiabai first arrived here, they were much more vulnerable. Since the South Vietnamese army's offensive almost never stopped for a day, North Vietnam's repairs to the fortifications could only be superficial. Under the continuous attacks, the walls of many areas were damaged.

Everything has collapsed in pieces, and the defenders can only rely on shields and bodies to build a line of defense. The entire defense capability is already in a precarious state.

Zheng Bai had to invest the last two reserves in this day's defensive battle, and it took him a whole day to repulse the three offensives of the South Vietnamese Army. When he saw the South Vietnamese Army retreating like a tide at the foot of the mountain, he was exhausted.

Zheng Bai suddenly collapsed to the ground and had no strength to even stand up.

"General Zheng, you have done a great job and have fulfilled your duty. Please believe me, starting from tomorrow, the battle situation will take a different direction!" Feng Annan reached out to help Zheng Bai up and said to him with confidence.

He said: "The good days of the rebels have come to an end, and it is time to use a counterattack to wake them up!"

"I hope it can be as General Feng said!" Zheng Bai responded with a wry smile. He still had reservations about Feng Annan's optimism. Although the Haihan people looked very powerful, how much effect could they have with such a small force?

It's really hard to say. Moreover, there are also firearms troops in South Vietnam. Who will be more powerful in a fight? Zheng Bai is not completely sure that he will bet on the Haihan people - of course, if he sees the artillery shipped by the Haihan fleet beforehand,

, maybe this idea will change.

This time, in addition to some of the artillery purchased by North Vietnam in the early stage and the naval guns mounted on sea ships, the artillery battery of the militia was also equipped with more than ten artillery pieces of different calibers. If the number of artillery units was not limited, the Military and Police Department even considered it.

Use intensive artillery fire to play a seventeenth-century fire coverage tactic. The headquarters is full of confidence in using more than 20 artillery pieces to block a 200-meter-wide front line, not to mention the nearly 2,000 musketeers.

Cooperate with artillery operations.

Regardless of whether it is public or private, the headquarters will use a large number of artillery attacks in this landing battle - the ammunition fired will be calculated on the North Vietnamese regime based on the export price. If it is not used, it will be in vain!

According to the calculations of the Military and Police Department, every time the 6-pound cannon is fired, the Crossing Group will earn almost one tael of silver, and the consumption level of the 12-pound cannon is half higher than that of the 6-pound cannon. If there is an opportunity to use the weapons loaded on the ship

For naval guns, the headquarters would issue firing orders without hesitation. The war between North and South Vietnam was about consumption, but the participation of the Haihan militia in the war was purely about making money.

During this day, in order to conceal their whereabouts, the lurking troops on the two islands were not allowed to use open fires to cook. Everyone could only eat dry food and drink cold water during the day. Only a very small number of time-traveling officers were eligible to enjoy the "high

"Technology" self-heating boxed military rations. Although the chemical principle of this heating pack is very simple and can be manufactured in the chemical workshop in Victory Port, the batch size is limited and it is not possible to supply it to the militia in large quantities in the near future.

It wasn't until after dark that a sea ship brought hot food to the troops on the island - it was made nearby behind the mountain defense line, and it was still hot when it was delivered to the island. Such hot food will be served tomorrow

There will be a supply before the attack in the early morning to ensure that everyone can join the battle with a full stomach. This pre-war meal is much better than usual. The logistics killed more than a dozen pigs transported from Black Earth Port in one go.

, even the North Vietnamese soldiers were lucky enough to get a taste of the oil.

A little later, the fleet arrived at the two small islands again, this time transporting more than a thousand spearmen and some logistics personnel responsible for communications, cooking and other matters. Their boarding location was not at Yong'an Port, but at Yong'an Port.

On the coast behind the mountain defense line only two or three nautical miles away, this greatly reduced the fatigue of these people during the transportation process. After a day of rest and recuperation, the troops who had arrived on the island the day before were in physical condition and fighting

Desire has basically been adjusted to a state of challenge.

At three o'clock in the morning, the "Speed" once again arrived at the coast of the landing site and repeated the previous landing method. The vanguard of this landing was larger than the last small group. Except for a few fixed roles of the North American gang,

In addition, Qian Tiandun also brought a platoon of soldiers from the special operations company to join the operation. However, there was only one rubber boat on the "Speed", so he had to drag two small wooden boats on the stern of the ship. After approaching the shore, the militiamen took

The small wooden boat rowed to the shore and landed.

The landing process went very smoothly, and South Vietnam did not take precautions against the eastern coastline as always. After the group arrived at the pass, several members of the North American gang divided into two teams and climbed to the commanding heights of the hills on both sides of the north and south. Their mission was in addition to reconnaissance and early warning.

In addition, it will also observe enemy movements at high points and provide real-time information to the command headquarters for reference so that timely adjustments can be made to changes in the battlefield.

Qian Tiandun and his men were lurking at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time sent a message to the headquarters through the radio. At 3:50 in the morning, Yan Chujie issued the order to start action. A few 400 boats towed a large number of small boats.

The sea-going ship slowly turned out from the east of Kunyu Island and sailed to the predetermined coast. The first batch of landing personnel were not pure combat personnel, but mainly engineers and civilians. Their mission was to land in the shortest possible time.

, to build a floating trestle for subsequent landing troops to facilitate landing and unloading baggage.

Whether the floating trestle is constructed smoothly or not will directly affect the progress of subsequent landing operations. Therefore, in addition to several drills at the base camp, these personnel also underwent very arduous training after arriving at the Annan battlefield. Now they

It's time for them to show off their skills.
