I am Tang Di, a history enthusiast. Welcome everyone [Follow] me to talk about the past and the present together, and to discuss the general trend of the world. A gentleman is just learning and making friends for the rest of his life!

19 On the morning of the 123rd Division's basic command post led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupying the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continuing to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, Nahuai and He'an.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

310 Highland is located in front of Kowang Village. It is the only way to He'an on Highway 3 and the first important barrier to the outside of the command post of the enemy's 346th Division.

Vietnam Army 346th Division is one of the only three Soviet-made equipment brigades in the Vietnam Army's troops, and can be called the trump card among the Vietnam Army's aces.

310 The southeast direction of the highland is a wide area of ​​more than 1 square kilometer at the bottom of the mountain. Highway 3 passes through the open area, turns right in front of a small village, passes through three or four small villages and several bamboo forests, and goes straight to He'an County.

302 Highland is on the right side of the highway, and Highland 315 is located on the left side of the highway, very close to He'an, and is also another important barrier outside the command post of the enemy's 346th Division. On the west side of , there is a Vietnamese armory and granary on the hillside on the roadside, and the enemy has a platoon to guard it.

1, encircled the enemy 346th Division

17 at 12:00 on the 317th, the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 367th Regiment, took the vanguard of tanks, and took the 5th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 367th Regiment after two fierce competitions. Later, the troops rushed to Kotun to carry out new missions, and the 310th Highland was re-occupied by the enemy, and was personally directed by a deputy regiment commander of the enemy. One of the companies guarded the hillside to the west, blocking our army from passing through the road, and was responsible for guarding the armory and granary, while the other platoon controlled the hilltop.

is near Kowang Village on the left side of the 310 Highway. From Highway 310, a highway that can be accessed by cars is divided into the right side of the 304 Highway, enter the mountains, and you can reach Nahuai - the command post of the 346th Division of the enemy and the second Central Radio Station of Vietnam.

It can be said that the 310 Heights are the outpost position of the enemy division command post, while the 304 Heights are the core position. Once the core position is captured by me, the enemy's command post and the Second Radio Station will no longer be saved. Therefore, the 346th Division arranged particularly strong firepower on the 304 Highland.

On February 20, the 369th Regiment organized a strong attack on the 310th Highland. Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy deputy commander ordered a platoon to be a cover as a scapegoat and led the other troops to escape. After half a day of bloody battle, the 369th Regiment's 3rd Battalion finally captured the top of the 310th Highland. The Vietnamese armoury and granary on the hillside on the west side of the road became ruins under artillery fire.

21 At 6:15 pm on the 123rd Division Basic Command was transferred to a small hill near the Namin 529 Highland.

htmlOn the 321st, the 367th Regiment's 3rd Battalion failed several attacks on the 304 Highlands, and the casualties were also large. The division command post readjusted its deployment, organized infantry, artillery and tank soldiers to fight together, and continued to attack on the 304th and 315th heights.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

22 At 1:40 pm on the 322nd, the 123rd Division organized 85 cannons, 122 howitzers, 152 howitzers, and 130 rocket launchers, and at the same time carried out artillery bombardment on several enemy positions around the 304 Highlands, 315 Highlands and He'an County. In less than an hour, more than 250 tons of shells poured into the enemy's positions continuously. The shelling ended, and the tank began to cross the hills in front of the 304th Highland and rushed towards the 304th Highland. The 367th Regiment 3rd Battalion followed the tank and rushed to the position. The 9th Company soldiers rushed in front and started a battle for trenches and tunnels with the Vietnamese army. On the 315th Highlands far south, the commanders and soldiers of the 369th Regiment's 3rd Battalion also launched a tough battle at the same time...

As the 304th Highlands and 315th Highlands were successively conquered, the 123rd Division has formed an encirclement of the command post of the 346th Division of the enemy in Nahuai area, and the enemy has become a turtle in the jar.

2, 346th Division Command Post

346th Division Command Post is located in Nahuai area 5 kilometers northwest of He'an County. It is surrounded by mountains and shaped like a basin with an area of ​​about 4 square kilometers. There are 7 independent stone mountains in the Nahuai area, each of which is raised up on the flat ground and is not connected to each other. The stone mountain is steep, with many caves and bushes, making it easy to hide.

There are water grid rice fields between each stone mountain, which are flat and open; the stone mountain is supported by each other, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. The highlands in the combat area are classified into Heights No. 1 to 12, and Heights No. 10 are in the center. The highland is north-south and has 3 peaks. There is a cave running east and west in the north of the second peak, which is 30 meters high, 45 meters wide and 80 meters long. After additional repairs, it can be used to garrison troops and store grain, and the car can directly enter the cave. There is a simple east-west highway on the north side of the Highland No. 310, which connects with Gao (Ping) Shuo (Jiang) Highway from the east side of the Highland 355 to the south, making the transportation more convenient. There is a small river flowing east-west in the north of Huai Village, which can be trampled.

Nahuai area is an important military and communication base in the north of Vietnam , and is also the location of Vietnam Central Radio No. 2. In the late 1960s, the Vietnamese people's struggle to fight the United States entered its climax and most difficult period, and the Soviet Union helped build this radio station. Its function is that if Hanoi is blown up by the United States, it can become the command center for the Vietnamese people to fight against the American invaders.

In addition to the radio station, it also has large military communication stations, communication schools, armorys, ammunition databases, military supplies warehouses, oil warehouses, mine warehouses, power plants, and mechanics factories.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

There is an oil depot and a mechanic factory outside the cave on the east side, a pumping station outside the entrance of the west cave, and there are 42 antenna poles more than 30 meters high around the cave, and there are high-voltage conveying lines. On the east side of Donghan, there is a Vietnamese Military Communications School, guarded by more than 100 armed personnel.

According to pre-war and during war reports, the 346th Division of Vietnam led a strengthening company here. The enemy used stone caves and rock cracks to build fortifications, set up firepower points, and built trenches, traffic trenches and A-shaped fortifications in the earthen mountains.

has a large number of anti-infantry and anti-tank mines buried on the 1st and 2nd highways and on both sides. A crisscrossing firepower network formed between the caves, and the Vietnamese army attempted to defend it under the danger.

3. Attacking the enemy communication station

At 17:00 on February 25, when the 1st Battalion of the 367th Regiment captured the 311 Highland from the southwest side, it discovered a communication facility near the No. 10 Highland and judged that the enemy communication station was at the place.

At this time, the 123rd Division's former commander ordered the commander of the army:

immediately launch an attack, attack the communication station, and pay attention to protecting the communication equipment.

367 Regiment 1st and 3rd companies were attacked from both sides of the No. 10 Highland. The battle failed to work for one hour. That night, it turned into defense at the 311 Highland and the nameless highland on both sides.

26 At 6:15 am on the 326th, the 1st Battalion (Under Artillery Company) of the 123rd Division was equipped with the 100th mortar company and the 82nd resilient artillery company, strengthening the 9th Company of the 369th Regiment and the 369th Regiment Artillery Company to be responsible for the combat mission of attacking the Nahuai area. After receiving the mission in the 1st Battalion of the 3367th Regiment, Battalion Commander Ye Xinchang and Deputy Commander Chen, who strengthened the command of the battalion, organized the company commanders, communications section commanders and artillery section commanders to go to the spot to reconnaise the terrain and enemy situation, and study the fighting style and organizational coordination plan.

main attack direction is selected on the west side of Highland No. 10. Its specific deployment is:

3 Company strengthened the 1st Company 3 platoon, 5 resilient gun squads, 4 heavy machine gun squads, and 3 bazooka as the main attacker, breaking through from both sides of Highland No. 9 (the enemy on this highland has been withdrawn), first seized Highland No. 3, and then developed an attack from the northwest side to Highland No. 7. The company pointed to the nameless highland on the southwest side of the No. 9 Highland; the 1st Company (under 3 platoons) strengthened the heavy machine gun and 43 studs and 82 resilient guns as assists.

First captures the nameless highland on the east side of Nahuai and Dongwan, and then seizes the nameless highland No. 8 and develops an attack on the No. 7. After launching an attack, the main force of the company advances to the nameless highland on the east side of Dongwan. The 2nd Company strengthens the heavy machine guns and 2 82 resilient guns as reserves, and is arranged on the east side of the 311 Highland; the regiment gun group occupys the launch position on the south slope of the nameless highland and the Dome Mountain on the west side of the 311 Highland.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

Infantry's 369th Regiment command post leads the 9th Company on the 311th Highland, and the 1st Battalion of the 367th Regiment is on the east side of the 311th Highland.

At 6:15 on February 26, the 1st Battalion of the 367th Regiment pointed out that they visited three points to survey the terrain and clarify the position number.7:30, Deputy Commander Chen and Battalion Commander Ye were deploying combat tasks to the leaders of each company on the northeast side of the 311 Highland. The division commander called several times to urge him to launch an attack quickly. The battalion ordered the leaders of each company to run back and organize troops to attack.

At 8:00 on February 26, the artillery group carried out fire preparations on three peaks of Height No. 10, the nameless Height on the east side of Dongwan and the Height No. 8, hit the ammunition depot at the foot of Xiaoshi Mountain on the east side of Height No. 8, and burned and exploded for 45 minutes.

3 Company and 1st Company began to catch up with the enemy's movement and launch attacks using artillery fire cover.

3 Company 2nd and 1st row under the cover of company artillery fire, quickly attacked Highland No. 2 from the northwest side of Highland No. 9 from the northwest side of Highland No. 9, and the 3rd row attacked Highland No. 10. The 3rd platoon of the 1st Company is the company's reserve team.

3 Company 2nd platoon crossed a small river and found fortifications on Highland No. 1 on the southwest side and there were straggling troops, requiring artillery fire to fire. Deputy Leader Chen replied that the No. 1 Highland may be friendly neighbors. When the second line entered the east line of the highway, Squad 5 was attacked by the enemy on the right rear side. The deputy squad leader of Squad 5 quickly approached the fire point from the flank and wiped it out with grenade . When the platoon of

2 was preparing to cross the highway to shoot at Highland No. 2, it was blocked by enemy fire from Highland No. 2. The platoon leader was injured and his progress was blocked. Liu Guoyan, deputy instructor who strengthened the command of the 2nd platoon, ordered the 5th squad to fight back with firepower on the spot. He took the enemy's firepower to attract 5th squads and led 4 and 6th squads to the east side of Highland No. 2 to launch a flank attack.

At this time, the enemy from Height No. 1 counterattacked from the southwest side to Height No. 2. The battalion commander determined the enemy situation in Highland No. 1 and asked for artillery fire support. The artillery company commander said that the position number was not clear and he could not shoot. The enemy of the Heights No. 31 counterattacked from the foot of the mountain on the west side of the Heights No. 2 to the second row. The 2nd platoon killed four enemies with fierce fire and defeated the counterattack enemy. At this time, the enemy 2nd row of Heights No. 3 and No. 8 carried out cross-fire suppression, which was under fire attack on three sides.

Battalion said it required artillery fire support, but the artillery company still failed to implement fire support on the grounds that it was afraid of accidentally hurting its own people. The second platoon can only rely on the second trench to confront the hostilities.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

The first platoon attacking in the direction of the 2nd platoon was covered by artillery fire and quickly advanced to the front line of the river through the open rice fields. The original plan was to attack Highland No. 8, because the highland ammunition depot was still exploding and could not be approached, they moved along the Xiaohe River to the west side of Highland No. 8.

was suppressed by the enemy's firepower in the highlands No. 1, 2, 3 and 8 during the movement. The entire platoon was pressed into a ditch about 2 meters wide and 1 meter deep. It was unable to lift its head for nearly two hours. deputy company commander Ye Pujun and machine gun company deputy company commander Huang Kechuan were injured, and all the wounded and soldiers were soaked in the water. At this time, the platoon could not make progress, that is, while fighting the enemy on the spot, covering the second platoon with firepower. When the

3 row was moving from the rice fields on the northwest side of Highland No. 9 to the north side of Highland No. 10, it was blocked by enemy fire from the No. 10 and its cave entrance on the north side, with 5 casualties. platoon leader Huang Guoyan organized the bazooka and 82 resilient cannons to destroy four enemy firepower points in succession, and the troops continued to move forward.

fired 8 shots at the entrance of the hole with an 82 seatless cannon about 120 meters away from the hole. Because the rice bag was used to build a building inside, the iron door was only exploded with a small crack, and screams came from the hole. The 3 platoon was also attacked by enemy fire at this time and could not advance again, so he fought on the spot. The battalion pointed out that the third time the artillery fire support was not yet reached, and the main attack direction formed a confrontation.

3 Company ordered the reserve team's 1st Company 3 Platoon to join the combat reinforcement 3 Platoon from the east side of Highland No. 9. When he entered the small bamboo forest area on the northeast side of Highland No. 9, he was suppressed by enemy Highland No. 10 firepower and made no progress. At this point, the 3rd company killed 38 enemies, and the company also suffered more than 30 casualties. In the end, because the enemy was condescending and the terrain was not good for me, the main attack direction was frustrated.

4, again frustrated

1 Company (3 platoons) After I prepared the artillery fire, I set off from Domeng Mountain in order of 1 and 2, and attacked along Nahuai Village and Qianxiangcun Avenue to the east of the Wantunian Highland. When entered the front of the enemy's position, it was blocked by enemy firepower from the No. 8 and No. 12.Company commander Xia Guowen organized 60 mortars , 82 mortars, and heavy machine guns to suppress the enemy with firepower, and to cover the 1st platoon and quickly detoured to the right to occupy the foot of the mountain on the right side of the nameless highland.

2 platoon approached step by step with the tactics of alternately covering the advance from the front. The enemy was attacked by us from front and back, and wiped out 15 enemies in one fell swoop, occupying the nameless highland. 1 consecutive victories to develop an offensive towards the No. 8 Highland. When we entered the open rice fields on the northeast side of Dongwan Village, we were attacked by firepower from the enemy Highland No. 10 and its cave, oil depot and communications school on the east side. 16 people were injured and killed and blocked from progress.

10:50, the battalion pointed out that the main attack direction was blocked and the assist direction was smooth, and determined to change the assist to the main attack, and use the reserve team's 2nd company to join the battle from the 1st company. In order to gain the initiative and speed up the attack, the leader of the 3rd regiment ordered the 1st Company to first capture the Communications School with a platoon, and then attack along the 12th Highland to the 8th Highland, actively take action to restrain the enemy, support the 3rd Company's battle, so that the 3rd Company can get rid of the passive situation, and cooperate with the 3rd Company to attack the hole entrance on the west side of the 10th Highland.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

12 at 40, 1 consecutive defecation attacked the communication school. At 13:30, the Communications School was captured. When the first row turned to attack Highland No. 8, it was suppressed by enemy fire from the protrusions of the northern end of Highland No. 12 and Highland No. 10. The platoon was suppressed in the school due to insufficient troops and firepower. He could only rely on the school building to fight the enemy and was unable to advance again.

13:30, the leader of the regiment saw that the above determination was not realized, so he ordered the 2nd Company of the Reserve Team to join the battle from the west side of Nahuai Village and attacked the east side of Highland No. 10.

2 Company was fighting against the nameless highlands before. Although the cadres and soldiers had been clearing away the remaining enemies for five consecutive days in the wind and rain, they fought continuously regardless of their fatigue. They arrived at the foot of the planned Highland No. 3 mountain, and quickly approached the enemy in seclusion. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, they killed 12 enemies, seized Highland No. 3, and cut off the entire enemy's defense position in half.

then launched a fierce battle with the enemy in position No. 4, killing 12 enemies. 's entire company fought bravely, cooperated with the 1st and 3rd companies to quickly seize the No. 4 Highland, killing a total of 153 enemies.

2 company entered 200 meters from the entrance of the cave in Highland No. 10, and was blocked by enemy fire from the entrance of the cave, the power station and the protrusion of Shangshishan on the south side of the No. 10 Highland, and the attack was blocked.

Battalion Company organized firepower to suppress the enemy many times but failed. At this point, all three companies of the 1st Battalion were in a confrontation with the enemy, and after another two hours of fierce battle, there was no progress. The leader of the 3rd Regiment believed that although the 1st Battalion had penetrated into the depth of the enemy's defense, it had no favorable terrain support. The troops suffered heavy casualties and could not get timely rescue from the rear and had no strong artillery support. Continuing the battle was not good for me. He was worried that the enemy would attack at night after dark. At 15:30, the battalion was ordered to withdraw from the battle under the cover of artillery fire.

3 withdraws from the 311 Highland at 17:00, and 1st Regiment from the 1st Regiment at 19:30.

Most of the Vietnamese troops in the cave had fled to the mountain.

7. The enemy division commander "disappeared"

This tunnel command post is a transformed natural cave. It was originally the location of the backup launch platform of Gaoping Radio Station built by my country. The originally larger exit of the tunnel has been sealed with cement. The latter exit is relatively hidden, located in the southeast direction, and there is an exit facing the north. There is a control site of the division troops near the entrance of the cave in the north. In Nahangshe Village in the northwest, it is the garrison of the 346th Division propaganda team and a position of the 85th cannon company of the Vietnamese army, which has been captured by our army.

Outside the tunnel, our army seized one American-made jeep and a motorcycle, and searched the defense deployment maps of the 346th Division of the Vietnamese Army, engineering plan maps, military topographic maps, radio signal meters, notebooks of Tian Guangsheng, the chief of the reconnaissance section of the 346th Division, and other combat documents and materials.

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews

There is also an English typewriter in the tunnel, more than 10 radio stations below 15 watts, a large number of telephone lines, radio operator letters, Vietnamese army lieutenant colonel military rank seals, military backpacks, military uniforms, and many rows of rice with the red words "Chinese rice", sesame , cod liver oil, noodles and unfinished rice, etc.

Analysis from the seized items, this is the location of the enemy's 346th Division's headquarters, and its commanders have not left for a long time.

A radio operator from the 346th Division Command of the enemy shouted in a report to the First Military Region:

"The only two of the division commanders Huang and me are left. The enemy has rushed to the entrance of our cave. Commanders Huang can no longer command the troops." After the war, our army learned that Huang Bianshan, the commander of the 346th Division, disappeared during the clearance of our army and has nowhere to go.

At the end of March, Hanoi held a celebration meeting, and a group of meritorious personnel who "heroically fight against the Chinese army" were commended. Leading cadres above the Vietnamese military advisor attended the meeting, but Huang Bianshan did not show up.

A officer and soldier of our army discovered that a large pit in the cave on the No. 10 Highland has been filled with new cement. It is estimated that the commander and political commissar of the 346th Division were "glorious" in the battle and were temporarily buried here by the soldiers? Why did they make contributions and fail to attend the celebration meeting? Whether these two people die or live has always been a mystery.

After the war, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Comrade Han Nianlong to Hanoi for negotiations on the issue of prisoners of war exchange.

Hanoi also emphasized that the commander and political commissar of the 346th Division must be sent back to Vietnam. Judging from the above situations, these two senior generals may be really "glorious".

On the morning of the 19th, the basic command post of the 123rd Division led the 1st Battalion, 3rd Battalion and 369th Regiment of the main 367th Regiment, occupied the areas south of Banma, Bannong and Kulan, and continued to attack towards the 310th Highland, 304th Highland, N - DayDayNews
