.Two hours before the Mandalay war broke out, the Kyauktang Mountains in northern Myanmar.
Amidst the "rumbling" of artillery, Major General Zhang Guosheng, commander of the Fourth Mountain Division, stood on a mountain and looked at the mountains to the south that had been almost destroyed by artillery fire into ruins, frowning.
Since launching the attack at 4 o'clock in the morning, in more than ten hours of continuous fierce fighting, the First Mountain Division has suffered casualties of nearly 1,200 people. In other words, the headquarters has lost one-tenth of its officers and soldiers. This is definitely not a
Small numbers. The only thing worth gratifying
Yes, in the early morning raid, the Fourth Mountain Division dealt a huge blow to the opponent. Under continuous attacks, the enemy's four trenches at the foot of the opposite mountain were almost razed to the ground. At least more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and
The Burmese army was killed in the attack of the Fourth Division.
After daybreak, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division became more and more courageous as they fought and captured three enemy positions in the mountains one after another, killing more than 800 enemy soldiers again.
However, at ten o'clock in the morning, when the troops attacked the fourth position on the mountainside, more than twenty cross-fire points suddenly appeared on the mountains near and far, almost completely blocking the attack line. Although many methods were tried, they still could not attack.
The enemy's firepower was removed, and the attack came to a stalemate.
"Commander, our plane is here!"
Second Lieutenant Dai Zilai, the communications staff officer standing next to Zhang Guosheng, shouted excitedly. After Zhang Guosheng heard this, he turned around and looked around. He saw a squadron of Q2 attack aircraft flying from the north with a huge roar.
Come over and fly towards the opposite mountain in the shape of a wild goose.
"Order the artillery to continue attacking and cooperate with the air force's bombing. When the bombing is over, we will try to launch another attack to see how hard the enemy's turtle shell is!"
After Zhang Guosheng calmly gave the order, he paid attention to the movements of the fleet.
I saw the Q2 attack aircraft group first lowering their flight altitude slightly, passing over the Jiaodang Mountains from north to south, and then turning around half a circle, from south to north, making a low-angle dive towards the exposed Japanese position, and dropped a few missiles towards the intended target.
Bombs ranging from five kilograms to fifty kilograms will then circle twice more to find the target. After locking on, they will continue to drop bombs and strafe.
The Japanese machine gun fire on the ground was spitting flames, but they were helpless against the attack aircraft equipped with thick armor on the lower part.
Just as the fleet was having fun, black smoke suddenly exploded in mid-air. A Q2 attack plane was hit on the right wing, whimpering and dragging black smoke, and fell towards the ground to the north. The fighter plane was more than 300 meters away from the ground.
When we were about 30 meters away, two parachutes floated in the sky. Soon, the fighter plane crashed to the ground and exploded, with fire and thick smoke rising straight into the sky.
Zhang Guosheng's heart sank. He visually observed that the pilot's landing point was in the middle of the battle area between us and the Japanese army. He immediately sent officers and soldiers to rescue him. At the same time, he ordered the artillery group to fire shells at the Japanese anti-aircraft gun position hidden in the dense forest in the mountains in the distance.
To suppress the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower.
At this time, the threatened Q2 attack aircraft group unconsciously raised their altitude, hurriedly dropped bombs on the Japanese positions, then left the battlefield and flew towards the northern sky.
Zhang Guosheng shook his head. The Japanese were very cunning and deliberately hid the anti-aircraft artillery deep in order to achieve a sudden strike. In the morning, when the aircraft group bombed intensively, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery stayed still. At noon, the troops fought hard. There were times
A squadron of armed helicopters came to help,
However, they were suddenly hit by Japanese anti-aircraft artillery. The helicopters flew too slowly, and three of them were shot down by the Japanese at once. The remaining helicopters had to escape far away. After a few turns, they saw that the Japanese army's defense system was very tight, so
He left in a hurry, which was so similar to the current scene.
As the fleet left, the assault echelons of each regiment entered the attack starting position about one kilometer away from the enemy position.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Guosheng, who was determined to make a move, threw all the three remaining main regiments in his hands into the attack. The first regiment was basically disabled in the previous battle, so the second and third regiments
, the fourth regiment was responsible for the main attack, with the second regiment attacking from the front from north to south, the third regiment attacking from the northeast to southwest on the left wing, and the fourth regiment attacking from northwest to southeast on the right flank.
As the charge horn sounded, the three regiments launched attacks from three directions at the same time. The bugles were loud and the battle flags were flying. Soldiers jumped out of the trenches one by one. The troops who jumped out of the trenches first immediately launched their attack.
Form a skirmish line, keep the distance between individual soldiers or firepower groups at more than five meters, and the platoon leader or company commander directs operations from the middle and rear position of his unit formation.
In addition to the original personnel, the vanguard company of each battalion has strengthened a squad of engineers and an assault platoon composed of soldiers drawn from the heavy firepower company. The main weapon of the engineers is a ten kilogram explosive bag, and the main weapon of the assault force is a rocket launcher.
, flamethrowers and automatic rifles, while carrying a large number of grenades.
While the infantry and machine gunners of the vanguard company moved forward, the general-purpose machine guns and mortars remaining in the trenches began to suppress the enemy positions from designated shooting positions. Bullets fired from the rear were fired from the attacking positions.
The soldiers flew past with a "whoosh", and poured down one after another on the enemy's position on the mountainside.
The Japanese position in the distance was immediately shrouded in smoke. The officers and soldiers rushing out of the trench could hear the sound of mortar shooting and the explosion of bombs on the Japanese position one kilometer away.
The vanguard company continued to advance forward, and the other two companies spread out in the rear to form a dense skirmish line. Behind them were the troops directly under the battalion, which acted as reserve regiments and followed up in columns.
Soon, the two battalions of each regiment on the front line left the starting position, and the third battalion as a reserve team entered the starting position along the communication trench.
Of course, the Japanese army would not sit still and wait for death. When the Anjia army officers and soldiers had just rushed out of the trenches, the enemy's machine guns placed in the trenches in the mountains began to shoot sporadically at the skirmisher line deployed by the Anjia army after the attack at the foot of the mountain.
The Japanese bunker sprayed fire again.
At this time, the artillery regiment directly under the Fourth Mountain Division began to divide into two parts to suppress the hills on the left and right flanks, mainly to attack the machine gun fire points that sprayed flames.
At the same time, the responsive regiment, battalion 50, 60 and 81 mortars quickly fired at the machine gun fire points on the current Japanese position to suppress the Japanese counterattack.
The artillery unit of the Japanese army, which had been waiting for a long time, suddenly opened fire. Mountain artillery, field artillery and direct-fire infantry artillery fired violently at the skirmish line deployed by the Anjia army, causing considerable casualties to the rapidly advancing Anjia army officers and soldiers.
Naturally, this situation would not last long. The reconnaissance and calibration balloons of the Fourth Mountain Division immediately reported the location of the Japanese artillery positions to the artillery regiment. A few minutes later, precise artillery fire quickly covered the Japanese artillery positions.
The artillery offensive suddenly stalled.
When the skirmisher line of the Anjia Army advanced to about 400 meters away from the Japanese position, they were fired upon by rifle fire from the Japanese and Burmese troops. The Burmese Army's poor shooting skills were not a cause for concern, but the Japanese infantry had been used for a long time.
The bullets were fed out, and soon some soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.
At this time, the machine gunners of each company platoon selected shooting positions, set up their I-type general machine guns, and fired violently at the enemy positions. The mountain soldiers were also organized by grassroots non-commissioned officers to shoot at the enemy with their automatic rifles.
Speeding up the pace, bullets were flying on the battlefield. People in the attacking companies continued to be shot, but the entire offensive formation did not slow down. Especially the officers and soldiers of the vanguard companies used the cover of the terrain and features to support each other and quickly move forward.
The Japanese army positions approached.
When the mountain soldiers advanced to about 150 meters away from the Japanese position, the Japanese army also threw reinforcements into the front-line positions to supplement the severely weakened blocking firepower at the front. At the same time, four new firepower points were added on the high mountains.
, once again posed a huge threat to the attacking Anjia officers and soldiers.
Although there were heavy casualties, the Pioneer Company was already close to the Japanese position. When it was less than fifteen meters away from the trench, the officers and soldiers threw grenades one after another. As soon as the smoke from the grenade explosion rose, the extremely brave officers and soldiers carried the
superior
With their I-type rifles equipped with bayonets, they jumped towards the enemy's trenches. Regardless of whether there were any living people in the trenches, they first fired a row of guns and then stabbed them randomly. Even the wounded Japanese soldiers were not spared. They insisted on stabbing them several times.
You cannot smash your skull with the butt of a gun.
The Japanese army relied on the mountains to build extremely strong fortifications. Artillery fire could not directly hit them. Rocket launchers and flamethrowers had no shooting angles, and grenades were not enough to suppress them. At this time, the engineers assigned to the vanguard company began to play a role.
, I saw engineers and soldiers in twos and threes, moving around.
Moving, sometimes crawling, sometimes jumping up, sometimes lying down and sometimes getting up, they approached the Japanese bunker, placed a large or small explosive package near the firing port of the bunker, lit the fuse and quickly ran away. After the flash, the wood was broken.
Meat was scattered in all directions, and the enemy's bunkers were opened, revealing dark holes.
Just as the officers and soldiers were shouting and rushing toward the cave entrances, another change occurred.
"Da da da——"
On the left and right mountains and on the top of the mountain in front, more than thirty fire points were suddenly added. The entire mountain was covered with tracer marks left by tracer bullets.
Then, a huge roar came, and the dense artillery shells fired from unknown sources completely overwhelmed the vanguard company that had just occupied the Japanese position.
Zhang Guosheng, who had been observing the battle on the front line with a telescope, changed his face drastically. Judging from the intensity of artillery fire, the enemy had at least hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery hidden on the reverse slopes of the mountains. With such intensive artillery fire, the vanguard who broke into the enemy's position
The company is absolutely unlucky. Moreover, the enemy is exposing more and more firepower points each time. Now the artillery fire can no longer suppress these areas, and a forced attack will only bring greater casualties.
"Withdraw!"
Zhang Guosheng waved his hand in frustration, and the communications staff immediately conveyed the order.
An hour later, Zhang Guosheng telegraphed to the Front Army Headquarters that the Fourth Mountain Division was facing a very difficult situation. Nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers had been casualties in the continuous attacks. The cost of continuing to attack was too high, and the gains were not worth the losses.
…
Nanhua, Xinjing, General Staff Headquarters Conference Room.
At ten o'clock in the morning, all lines had successfully achieved breakthroughs. An Yi, who was relieved to rest, was now standing in front of a large sand table, listening to Deputy Chief of General Staff Huang Zhi's explanation of the battle situation.
In the surrounding area, except for Yang Fei, Zhao Dongquan, Cheng Shiming, Fu Mingshan, Wang Zhihan and other generals who were on duty during the day and returned to rest in the evening, the other generals from the Military Commission and the General Staff Department were all present.
Behind the conference room is the communication center of the Anjiajun General Staff Headquarters.
Rows of communication switchboards filled with plug holes were filled with dashing female soldiers. They all wore thick sponge earphones and looked attentive.
"General Staff Communications Center, where can I go?"
A gentle and beautiful female corporal plugged into the hole under the red flashing light that signaled incoming calls, and immediately greeted her warmly.
"I'm Xia Jian, help me move to the conference room. I have something important to report to Chairman An!"
Along with the calm and majestic male voice coming from the microphone on the earphone, there was also the "tick-tick" sound of the radio station and various noisy discussions.
"Okay, Commander Xia, please wait!"
After finishing speaking, the female corporal soldier did not hesitate at all. The instinctive reaction brought about by tens of thousands of trainings in daily life made her skillfully connect the other plug to one of the jacks on the switching station in front of her, and the two jacks
The green indicator light next to it lights up quickly, indicating that the line has entered the China Unicom state.
After finishing the wiring work this time, the female corporal did not rest at all. She quickly unplugged the two connection plugs on the communication platform that had the indicator light showing white to end the call, and connected one of the plugs to the next one that was flashing red.
Plug it into the jack and ask enthusiastically again:
"General Staff Communications Center, where can I go?"
Then, a scene similar to what happened before happened again.
After entering the second half of 1939, the recruitment of conscripts of suitable age for the Anjia Army has basically ended. If the recruitment is continued reluctantly, it will destroy Nanhua's industrial and agricultural production. Currently, the recruits mainly come from the three domestic recruitment points of Hanzhong, Yichang and Lao Nanchang.
Provided. In Nanhua, the main target of recruitment is young women of appropriate age.
In addition to doctors, nurses, and female soldiers in the art troupe, another place that can best reflect the characteristics of women and bring out their meticulous skills is the communication center.
At present, the Anjia Army's Third Headquarters, the Nanhai Zhizheng Hall of the Military Commission, the Government Affairs Council, the Intelligence System, all front army headquarters, each group army headquarters, and each division headquarters have such communication centers, with professional female operators serving as branch lines
Unicom processing tasks.
In fact, the program-controlled telephone exchange technology was not invented by the Bell Company in the United States until the mid-1960s. However, it was not time-division digital, but "space-division", that is, users had to occupy a space when making calls.
For lines, that is, they occupy a space until the call is completed, which is not much different from manual connection. After the 1970s, program-controlled digital switch technology using time division multiplexing technology and large-scale integrated circuits became increasingly mature.
It gradually became popular in the 1980s.
Therefore, although radio communications and traditional wired telephone communications are now relatively popular in government departments and the military in South China, since there is no automatic program-controlled switch, line branching and connection can only be handled manually, so the operator has become a very important job.
post.
Most of these female communication soldiers are specially recruited from Boy Scout schools and middle schools. After receiving three months of basic military skills training, they enter professional communication skills training.
During the communication skills training, they must first learn to judge which two of the dozens of connections and hundreds of jacks on the communication switchboard in front of them are a pair. This is the first step for them to receive professional training.
With so many jacks, it is very difficult to quickly determine which two are the same line according to the requirements. You must know that although there are many colors on the plugs to distinguish, there are only seven colors in total, and each one
There are more than a dozen colored lines and plugs, and during training, real battlefield conditions are simulated from time to time. In order to defend against air defense and avoid becoming the target of the opponent's artillery, the lights are often turned on very dimly. In this case, the color temperature will
There is a deviation, and sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish the color.
It is difficult for people who have not experienced that disaster era to imagine the strength and tenacity of people at that time. None of the female communication soldiers retreated. With the help of their instructors, they grew up quickly and used their own skills and care to memorize and analyze.
Which two plugs are a pair? After tens of thousands of trainings, I gradually become familiar with each plug. Later, I can even make accurate judgments by relying on the feel of long-term exposure and temporary memory.
After getting familiar with plug judgment, the second training subject is to recite thousands of sorting instructions. This is also a very challenging and boring job, but with hard training, most female soldiers can
They have done it all, relying on the unique meticulousness of women and the endurance far exceeding that of men, reciting tens of thousands of sorting instructions and becoming familiar with the transfer position represented by each socket.
Later, as they became more familiar with their jobs, they could even recite in detail the communication units corresponding to each of the hundreds of sockets on their workbench. In response to the efforts and successes of these female soldiers, they even taught them
The male instructor also lamented that he was not like this.
Due to the popularity of telephones in various departments of Nanhua, there are more and more telephone numbers, and the tasks set up by the government telephone exchanges are becoming more and more arduous. So far, an ordinary female operator has memorized tens of thousands of telephone numbers.
This shows how attentive women are.
Of course, after only passing the first and second training, such operators can only barely pass the test. There is another important test for the operators, which is to connect the communication socket of the battlefield communication unit as quickly as possible.
You know, the officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army come from all over the world. Although the army is generally required to speak Mandarin, many people have very strong accents, and it is difficult to distinguish them once they speak fast. In war, especially those on the front line
Operators, a second of delay by them may cause irreparable losses.
Most girls have weak natures. When connected to the roars of those hot-blooded men on the front lines who are shouting with their lives, they will often be frightened and confused. Without special training, they will not be able to calmly listen to what is being said.
, and insert the plug into the socket accurately.
Therefore, the third training that female communication soldiers receive is to go deep into the front line and train their courage amidst the continuous sound of gunfire. They will talk to front-line officers and soldiers as much as possible to become more familiar with, understand and distinguish the accents of various places.
And go to places where there are bullets and bullets, and get used to being calm in any environment.
The last training course is to speak for a long time to develop a good voice. This good voice is not like singing, which requires a wide range and a beautiful singing voice. Instead, it requires being able to pronounce clearly and continuously for eight hours a day.
This course is extremely painful. According to human physiology, if a person speaks continuously for more than four hours, his throat will become painful and hoarse. Unless he undergoes systematic vocal training, he can speak continuously for a long time. Therefore, the superiors specially invited vocal experts to teach pronunciation skills.
At the same time, we also provide a large number of Chinese patent medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies that can protect the throat, such as Pangdahai and Hongniang.
After training, the receptionists can now continue to speak very clearly the next day after talking continuously for more than eight hours. However, long-term talking makes most girls' voices thicker, which is also an occupational disease.
Bar.
However, these female communication soldiers have no worries about being chased by no one. They will always be eye-catching military beauties in the army. If they did not abide by military regulations and disciplines, I am afraid that each of them will receive a large number of love letters. Now is the war, many officers and
The staff officer can only secretly have a crush on him.
