Self-defense counter attack in Laoshan area (Reporter Zhang Youqian from "Liberation Army Daily") On April 28th, my heroic Yunnan frontier defense force, representing the will of the motherland and the people, launched a just counterattack against the Vietnamese invaders who have long encroached on our territory, harassed our border, and killed our border residents, defending the territory of our motherland . At 5:56, the earth trembled violently.The artillery of various calibers of our border guards roared for justice and engulfed all the positions of the Vietnamese army in the Laoshan area.All the passages appeared in the minefields set up by the Vietnamese army. The fortifications and firepower points that the invaders painstakingly managed collapsed in an instant.My hero's artillery has done a great job in destroying the invading enemy.

Under the cover of my powerful artillery fire, I interspersed with the detachment to advance in multiple ways, and arrived at the position quickly. The enemy of Laoshan has become a turtle in the urn. At 6:30, Laoshan boiled. "The time has come to do meritorious service for the motherland and the people! Comrades, go!" Our various attacking units jumped up and rushed towards the enemy with overwhelming force.Groups of mortar shells bloomed in the enemy's formation, and flamethrowers spit out dragons.The assault groups rushed bravely, and their momentum was unstoppable. At 6:39, the first good news came from the front line. The warriors of a sixth company of our border troops captured the Songmaoling position on the right side of Laoshan with lightning in just nine minutes.With the cooperation of the third company, most of a company defending the enemy was wiped out.So far, I have cut off an arm of the enemy occupying Laoshan.

8:24: The second good news came, the assault platoon of the fifth company captured an important position of the Vietnamese army.This company was once famous for "attacking like a tiger and defending like Mount Tai".Today, the new generation of Wulian has once again demonstrated its prestige in the battle to defend the frontier.Eight even did not show weakness.The "hand-to-hand combat hero company" on the anti-Japanese battlefield has achieved a record of destroying 27 enemy firepower points and killing 34 enemies. 14:30: Dozens of highlands occupied by the Vietnamese invaders were captured by me one by one, and the gunfire continued in some places.Our army is sweeping away the remnants of the stubborn enemy.

Li Qike, former instructor of the Ninth Company of the "Old Mountain Main Attack Group": On April 28th, our regiment attacked Laoshan, and the fight was so miserable that all three battalions went up. We drove to the front line as soon as the Spring Festival was over, where we went to see the terrain and conduct pre-combat training.On April 26th, everything entered a state of battle, and began to maneuver from Nanwenhe and Mengdong to Laoshan that night. On the 27th, they took a hidden rest during the day and continued to advance at night.Each person carried more than 30 kilograms of weight. Some places had small paths, and some had no paths at all. They used sickles and shovels to open the way and drilled in the ravines. The forest was dense and the grass was deep, the mountains were high and the slopes were steep.

At 5:56 on the twenty-eighth, the red signal flares went up. It was so beautiful. From Jiaozhi City, Mengtong, Whetstone, Three Turns, and Bajiaoping, the shells came, half the sky was red, rocket launchers, cannons , howitzers, mortars, the shells flew from the top of the head to the old mountain, and the tracer bullets of the high plane intersected with various arcs and lines. They were all exhausted after two nights. Shan, everyone is in a mood.The attack is about to start, and I think the brothers will soon be dead on the old mountain and blood will be spilled on the battlefield, so I look at my soldiers over and over again with the flash of the explosion.I want to engrave them one by one in my heart. Many fighters are really looking at them for the last time.Some companies were not in place when the artillery fire began to prepare, so they rushed to the predetermined position desperately, running, rolling, and crawling.

One shelling, and another, and one more, and after three shellings, at six-thirty, it was our turn.storm.Rush up.The rockets cleared the way, and when it was too late, they slashed with knives and rolled thunder with their bodies.There are not only mines, but also bamboo sticks and iron nails coated with poison.Those who fall will fall, and those who do not fall will continue to rush.There are too many fallen comrades around me, including my little correspondent. Our company captured Heights No. 50.The fifth company is to attack the main peak.It took one hour and fifty-four minutes from the start of the attack to the occupation of the surface position on the main peak. When it was almost noon, Zhang Daquan, the deputy commander of the fifth company, died.Later, the engineering battalion cleared hundreds of mines from our company's attack route, and some of the mines were not detonated because the priming tube rang.They said that that road was full of minefields, and there were dozens of mines that caused us to step on them crookedly and bring them out with our feet.At that time, no one cared about those.We attack point by point.On the 50th, they attacked several times, with heavy casualties, and almost no soldiers left.The company commander and I discussed asking the battalion commander to send a second echelon to help. At this time, Shi Guangzhu, the leader of the seventh squad, asked for another attack.He had just acted as the leader of the third platoon, and with a few soldiers, he finally went up.But when the battle was about to end, Shi Guangzhu's eyes exploded, and when he finished bandaging and sent him off, he told me, instructor, he will come back when his injuries heal.He didn't know that both eyes were like that at the time. It's a pity for the young man. Now he is in the Chinese Department of Shenzhen University, and his poems are a bit interesting.

On the day of attacking Laoshan, our regiment lost more than 150 people and injured more than 500 people. On April 28, the whole regiment lost one-third of the casualties.My company was larger than that, with close to fifty casualties, almost half.I am lucky.All the cadres in the company are fine with the instructor and me.So many comrades-in-arms dare not recall, but they can never forget.They are all lying in Malipo. Most of the Malipo cemetery belongs to our teacher. Zhou Mingrong, former chief of military affairs of Army B of Army A: Our regiment arrived at the sinkhole on the 15th day of the first lunar month in 1984. While training, we mobilized. We said that Laoshan is a treasure mountain with rich resources. When it rained, all the gold dust came out. People went down to take a bath, and their bodies were shiny. of.On the night of April 26th, we moved forward from the sinkhole. On the 27th, we rested on the front line of Mangan during the day, and continued to intersperse at night. 627 of Shan Shan Liang.Our regiment attacked 662.6, the army said it took eight hours, the battalion said four hours, and the regiment ordered two hours. As a result, as soon as the attack started, the sixth company took the front and the third company flanked, and occupied the surface position of 662.6 in nine minutes.The main reason is that the sand table operation is good before the battle, the terrain and position are very clear, and the infantry and artillery coordination is also good when fighting.Then we went east again and occupied dozens of positions in the Songmaoling area.On the second day, the third battalion went east from Songmaoling, and the third battalion of C regiment pushed south from the bow, and captured more than 20 positions at Nalakou.

That time, we captured seven prisoners in one cave.After the hole was blocked, surrounded and shouted, there was a lieutenant inside who refused to surrender, and threatened to shoot anyone who went out.We burned with flamethrowers, mowed with machine guns, threw grenades, added psychological warfare, and by noon, the lieutenant committed suicide.In the evening we fired three flares into it to see where they were. They thought they were gas bombs, so they quickly shouted, "Don't shoot, we surrender. You guys dig the hole bigger and let us get out."A bunch of handed over weapons crawled out.As soon as they came out, the soldiers gave them cigarettes to smoke and dry food for them to eat. The injured doctors rescued them and carried them on stretchers. On the 124th position, there were four female soldiers in a cave, but they couldn't get out of it, and people couldn't rush in. In the end, there was really no way, the flamethrower worked hard, and it was completely burned.On the Vietnamese army's position, there are everything, harmonica, flute, and 145 guitars are the most. If the string is broken, the soldiers pick it up and play it.There is also a volleyball court in one position.There are also photos of female celebrities in Vietnam, notebooks, pens, and a soldier ran down and brought up a bunch of casual clothes, all of which were suits, quite new.
