Chapter 304: Accidents
Chen Xu walked along the position of our army on the Sino-Vietnamese border for a day, observing the movements of the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side, and only at night did he return to the front headquarters of Bajiao Township with heavy steps with a muddy and tired body.

In the tent, more than 30 staff officers were combing through different targets on the sand table.
Under the photographs of high-altitude reconnaissance planes and the scanning of radars of early warning planes, more than 32,000 targets, large and small, were marked in the sand table in the entire Vietnamese military positions on the Eastern Front, including bunkers, ammunition depots, oil depots, missile positions, artillery positions, radar positions, and command posts. After the attack began, 10,000 artillery guns were fired, bombers roared in, and all these targets were destroyed!
Dad sat on a stool made of ammunition boxes at the edge of the tent, supported his thigh in one hand, held a cigarette in the other, and looked at the large battle map on the wall at a thirty-five degree angle.
"You sit on a grenade box and smoke, your heart is so big!" Chen Xu glanced at the father who was pretending to be a sculpture, and said without being salty.
Chen Xu was no stranger to this kind of dangerous thing, when he was investigating the situation on the front line, the soldiers in the hiding cave used ammunition boxes to build a stove, lit a gas lamp below, and a pot on top to cook field rations and eat. There are bullets and bullets every day, and these guys are not afraid of death at all, how convenient and how to come.
Seeing his son come in, Chen Zhuo came back to his senses, took a puff of cigarette, threw the burned cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and frowned: "The Vietnamese army drove twenty big trucks from Hanoi yesterday, without any intelligence sources, I don't know what was being transported inside!" ”
"It doesn't matter what's in it, everything will be solved under the indiscriminate bombardment when the time comes." Chen Xu glanced at the white hair on his father's sideburns, in just one month, under the heavy pressure of military affairs, white hair appeared in his originally full black hair. As the supreme commander of the Eastern Front, every move of the Vietnamese army affects his nerves, and he is not at ease if he does not figure it out.
"It's also said that when the time comes, no matter what's in the truck, it's all blown up." Dad grinned, but his solemn expression told Chen Xu that he still hadn't let go.
"Why don't you send a scout over and have a look...... Daddy didn't give up, and suddenly spoke.
"Don't even think about it, this kind of reconnaissance behind enemy lines is enough to have reconnaissance radars and high-altitude reconnaissance planes, and sending scouts over to feel the sentry will only cause unnecessary casualties." Chen Xu resolutely rejected his father's proposal and sent scouts into Vietnam to conduct independent reconnaissance, which was no different from playing with life, and the mortality rate was extremely high, so Chen Xu was not allowed to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines.
In fact, in Chen Xu's battle plan, sooner or later, the positions of the Vietnamese army will be destroyed in the bombardment, and the entire northern part of Vietnam will be in a sea of fire, especially after Hanoi is in hand, the Vietnamese army will be dispersed, and a group of stragglers will not pose much threat to our army at all.
Chen Xu didn't believe that Vietnam could still play any tricks now, and under this kind of absolute force, no amount of conspiracy and trickery would only be shattered in the explosion and fire.
"On the contrary, our own side should pay attention to prevent Vietnamese scouts from coming to touch the sentry, those grandsons are very powerful. The officers and men of our army should especially guard against going out and acting alone, so as not to be plotted by the Vietnamese army, and if he is caught in Vietnam, even the gods will not be able to save him. ”
Chen Xu reminded his father to let his soldiers pay attention to preventing the sneak attack of the Vietnamese army, several soldiers have suddenly disappeared in the past few days, and it is very likely that they were captured by Vietnamese agents.
Chen Xu even hoped that these missing soldiers were afraid of death and deserted home, although they were arrested by the military police and imprisoned for three years, and their parents and relatives were disgraced in their hometown. But at least it is better to survive than to be captured and tortured to death by the Vietnamese army.
"There were no casualties in the troops today! It's a good sign. Daddy said suddenly.
"Yes! It is really rare, and all units must continue to maintain, and recently this period of soldiers has had various accidents, killing and wounding every day, and the battle has not yet started, and the losses are hundreds. Hearing this news, Chen Xu laughed rarely, this is really good news.
With an army of 500,000 troops, it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of problems, such as the disappearance of the case. Under the strict precautions of our army, almost one of the Vietnamese scouts died, and many were captured alive.
The most serious casualties were all kinds of accidents of their own making, such as being hit and killed by a passing military vehicle while walking without eyes, killing a comrade-in-arms by a gun misfire, and speeding on a military motorcycle and colliding with a tank.
Among them, during the helicopter take-off and landing training in Kuncheng, a transport helicopter and the escort gunship collided because they flew too close, and the transport helicopter directly threw out the three soldiers in the cabin and fell to their deaths when it carried out a violent evasion action.
These fatal cases are typical, and injury accidents occur all the time, with an average of more than a dozen per day.
One of the more peculiar and famous things is that last month, a battalion commander named Luo Gao was holding a pre-war pledge mobilization meeting for hundreds of soldiers under his command, when suddenly a bullet flew from a distance, hit him in the heart and knocked people to the ground.
The stray bullet came from the Vietnamese side and flew a full four kilometers around the three mountain packs, but because it flew too far, the force was lost, and the bullet was blocked by the ribs. Battalion Commander Luo had blood in his chest, and his soldiers thought he had hung up, and they screamed that they wanted to go to the front line to kill the Yue monkey on the opposite side and avenge the boss.
Battalion Commander Luo stood up suddenly, scolded everyone to be quiet, and then pulled out the bullet with his fingers, and took it in front of him to look at the bullet that almost killed him, and suppressed hundreds of subordinates on the spot.
Later, in the field hospital, the battalion commander Luo only suffered a little skin trauma on the chest, cleaned the wound and reduced inflammation, stitched a few stitches and returned to the army, the war is about to start, and the battalion commander Luo will not miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the country because of such a small injury.
Battalion Commander Luo's accident will not be a special case, all kinds of stray bullets are flying on the battlefield, and the chance of being hit is very high. He couldn't take chances in the face of death, so he ordered that all members of the group must wear helmets and body armor interspersed with ceramic plates, and they were not allowed to take them off at any time. If the gendarmerie caught him without protective gear, he was severely punished and went to the railway station to work as a coolie to carry ammunition boxes.
By forcing all soldiers to wear protective gear, the accident rate has dropped significantly, and in the few fires that have occurred in recent days, no one was injured because of body armor.
Chen Xu was also helpless about the high incidence of accidents, the soldiers were inevitably nervous before the battle, and no one could avoid accidents.
Yun and Guang are pretty good, but basically they are some individual small accidents.
Sichuan and Tibet are building roads in the plateau and mountainous areas, and when an accident occurs, a group of people die, vehicles fall off cliffs, rockfalls fall on the hillside and kill people, landslide accidents, and so on. The South Asian War was a real battle of national fortunes, and in order to grab time, there was no time to be sad, so I gathered in the heroic bodies of my comrades-in-arms, and then continued to work.
Whenever he saw the number of sacrifices attached to the progress of the project in Sichuan and Tibet, Chen Xu's heart sank. These numbers alerted him. The situation on the Sichuan-Tibet side was as smooth as expected, and it was necessary to end the war on the Vietnamese side as soon as possible and concentrate the country's limited resources on the South Asian war.
