Chapter 025: Artillery Regiment Headquarters

This reconnaissance time passed really fast, and it looked like an hour was really tense. The artillery positions were arranged in a hurry, except for the surplus of rocket artillery shells, and the 85 cannon and 122 howitzers had fewer shells. Hong Yan sat on the gun carriage and thought about what to do? Stealing guns? Not very feasible, in and out of artillery, easy to spot. If you keep it, it will bring too much loss to your comrades! It is said that the casualties in the first two days were caused by tactical problems and the culpability of Vietnamese artillery.

Hong Yan played with the "Broken Blade" in his hand and thought depressedly. The neighboring tent suddenly opened, and an artilleryman came out and booed after a few steps. It's not good to steal, just make a prank. Hong Yan first lightly swiped at the lower part of the cannon barrel. A hole one centimeter deep is drawn, and if you don't check it carefully, you won't be able to see it. Hong Yan scribbled one door to the other, snickering, and couldn't help but take a 107 launcher and some shells that were too late to be arranged. Returning to the position of the 122nd Howitzer Battalion, the plan was repeated, leaving a deep mark on each barrel.

With a pity full of regret, Hong Yan left the artillery position. What a pity! This hand was played too hard. You know, the Vietnamese army is counting on powerful artillery fire to stop it! With his divine sense, he quickly identified the team that had just walked less than 100 meters. After the agreed code was issued, the team stopped. Hong Yan ran over and hugged people one by one in the dark. He could clearly feel everyone's hearts relaxing.

Squatting down, Shi Yanbin and Wang Xiaotie pulled their raincoats, and Hong Yan described in detail the layout of the artillery position, accurate to the position of each gun, anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns and the defensive formation of the infantry. Wu Hong just turned on the flashlight, Guo Jinsong took out the map and marked it on the location that Hong Yan said. Then he drew a map of the artillery positions in his notebook.

Maps and notebooks are packed into waterproof bags. Captain Guo still didn't believe it. With such a large area, it took an hour to reconnoiter the precise arrangement. If he hadn't been able to judge the authenticity of the information, he might have been furious and accused him of lying. Look at Hong Yan again, go back and forth for an hour, but his face is as usual, his breathing is steady, where is he like he said he ran for one or twenty kilometers?

It's raining, the trail is slippery, and if you're not careful, you'll slip when you're going downhill. The rain of artemisia grass and bushes swept over the faces of the warriors, making it difficult to open their eyes. The march in the rain, while making it more difficult, also obscured the tracks. However, the rain has a tendency to fall heavily, with spring thunder and lightning lighting up half of the sky. It was also easier for the warriors to move quickly with the light.

Suddenly, the Pathfinder gave the stop command. The warriors immediately stopped and squatted, looking around vigilantly. Only then did Hong Yan find that he had entered a small valley, with a high path forty or fifty meters on both sides, and a steep slope and deep grass. Seems to be the perfect place for an ambush. Hong Yan didn't perceive the danger, but after leaving the valley, there was a large road leading to the south. Sure enough, the danger was lifted, and the team moved on.

After exiting the valley, less than 200 meters forward, Hong Yan sensed the danger, and there were heavy guards in front. Hong Yan issued a warning, and the team stopped again, hiding in the bushes. Enemies hidden in the shadows can easily see moving objects with lightning detection.

"Team Guo, there should be troops ahead. Directly in front of us were their defensive positions, where several defensive points were deployed. "Hong Yan's discovery naturally has to explain the reason. Because there is a relatively large village in front of him, there are a lot of soldiers stationed in it, if he doesn't bring it up, in case he hits his head, Hong Yan is not afraid, it doesn't mean that he can watch his comrades encounter life and death danger.

Many fighters obviously didn't believe it, and the first warrior didn't find out, how could he know it very clearly?

"Are you convinced?" Team Guo's words were very concise.

"Convinced!" Hong Yan also replied very simply.

Guo Jinsong didn't say a word, turned around and slowly moved forward with the two fighters. At this time, the temperature was less than ten degrees, and the soldiers were thinly clothed, half-squatting in the rain, and after a few minutes, some people shivered with cold. Half an hour later, Team Guo finally came back with a serious face.

"Sure enough, as Hong Yan said, there are troops ahead, at least at the company level." Team Guo's words confirmed Hong Yan's words. Everyone can't help but have more trust in Hong Yan in their hearts.

"Then we'll have to take another detour." Wu Honggang proposed. The battle has not started, and it is impossible to rush over it in one go, after all, it is not a combat unit, but it is responsible for the important task of reconnoitring the enemy's situation, and it can be avoided if it can be avoided.

It was already very difficult to march on a rainy night, and if you detoured again, it would take at least three or four hours to travel more than ten kilometers.

"Let's take a break and get something to eat!" Guo Jinsong commanded.

There is no shelter from the rain, so everyone can only squat in such a rainy field to eat dry food and drink the sweet spring water brought from the motherland. Hong Yan looked at these warriors who had left the motherland, silently eating compressed biscuits and drinking cold water without complaint, and their originally crouching figures suddenly became taller. In front of them are unknown dangers that are difficult to grasp, and they may even die in a foreign land, turning into cold corpses, the lucky ones can be brought back to their homeland by their comrades, and the unfortunate ones are buried in a foreign land.

On the second day of going abroad, it was raining, and there was no place to rest. The war will not be officially fought until the day after tomorrow, and how long will it be? No one knows.

Hong Yan knew that the supplies brought by the warriors could only last for a week. After a week, it is also unknown whether the army will be able to push into their reconnaissance area. For their special forces, survival is certainly not a problem. However, in the rear of the enemy, there is a possibility of a large force encirclement and suppression, so it is necessary to maintain sufficient physical strength.

Hong Yan knew that a pot of water could strictly say that it would last up to two days. After the war began, it was necessary to guard against the poisoning of water by the Vietnamese side. In March, the daytime temperature reached more than 30 degrees, and there was a lack of drinking water on the battlefield.

Although, as described in the bloodstained demeanor, a warrior is dedication and sacrifice, but unnecessary sacrifice must be avoided. So, Hong Yan began to take out a small bag of chocolate and bread from his backpack. Chocolate is a high-calorie food that can quickly replenish the energy needed by the human body. The Midi soldiers carried these light and easy-to-carry high-calorie items to replenish the energy consumed, and also used them as a big killer weapon to envelop the children, big girls and little daughters-in-law in the occupied areas.

Guo Jinsong took the palm-sized small plastic packaging bag handed over by Hong Yan, and for some reason, he immediately returned it to him when he felt that it was food, and said, "I have it!" ”

Hong Yan didn't answer, and said, "Hehe, I touched it just now, let's taste what it is." Then a bag was given to each of the fighters. Wang Xiaotie tore open a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and almost spit it out, but he still swallowed it. "What's that? Suffering from causes. ”

"Chocolate!" Wu Honggang replied. With lightning bolts, he could read the words and patterns on the packaging.

"Chocolate! I've never eaten it, it's only in books. It is said that foreign devils like to eat! ”

"I'm going to give chocolates on Valentine's Day."

"What day is Valentine's Day?"

"Buns, Valentine's Day is February 14th."

"Wasn't it yesterday? Hong Yan received so many gifts...... Hey hey ......"

"I won't eat it, take it back and let my daughter-in-law taste it......"

"Brother Hongyan said, as long as everyone works hard, there will be victory, chocolate, and daughter-in-law......"

"Qian Jinyu, don't be poor!"

Unexpectedly, a bag of chocolates elicited a whispering exchange. In this era, where can ordinary people in China taste chocolate. It is understandable that the soldiers do not know each other.

"Team Guo, can you confirm the size of the troops in front?" Hong Yan squatted next to Guo Jinsong and asked.

"Judging from the peripheral position, at least the company level, the rain affects the line of sight, I don't know if there are other arrangements behind." After speaking, Guo Jinsong took a bite of the biscuit.

"Shall I go find out what is true? Half an hour to complete. Hong Yan felt that it was better to run by himself.

"You're going again?" Guo Jinsong's face was ugly when he asked this, the dignified special reconnaissance squad leader, he couldn't go to reconnoiter the enemy situation in person, and he asked a child to run errands again and again, and his own team members looked down on him, and he joked when he spread it.

He is not good at deciding immediately. So he whispered to Wu Honggang for a while and said, "Are you sure?" Otherwise, we'd rather take a detour. ”

"It's not a big problem. If there are too many troops behind, I will immediately return and find another way. Hong Yan said.

Farewell to the squad of soldiers, Hong Yan quickly came to the position 200 meters in front of the position and hidden, searched, and then took out an infrared night vision goggle and pretended to look at it, and found that he could not see the enemy in the trenches and caves at all. What kind of high-tech!

After the lightning, Hong Yan leaped across the night sky, landed lightly behind the bushes, and landed on the neck of the dazed and ignorant dark sentinel with a single sword. The dark whistle fainted without a single snort. Hong Yan added another finger. As concocted, several secret posts on the road, including the big trees outside the village, have been treated by Hongyan. Bypassing the forward position, this entry is about two kilometers. The village lies in a nest in the mountains, and it is easy to pass by if you don't pay attention.

The center of the village is lit up, and cars roar from time to time. When his consciousness was released, Hong Yan found that there were several rooms where people were busy, answering phone calls, and there was a huge map hanging in one room. The village is heavily guarded and has a clear bunker. The firepower is in depth echelon and cross configuration. There were a couple of guns, and a dozen cars behind civilian houses. The concentration and physical fitness of the guards were much stronger than those of the soldiers in the artillery positions. In other words, this should be a relatively important institution.

Most places are not guarded by one person, and it is still difficult to solve several people at a time. Judging from the distribution of troops, there is more than one company, and there are more than 100 people within a radius of one kilometer. If you kill someone, you will definitely alarm the defending enemy. But there's no problem sneaking in. Light as a leaf and ghostly as a ghost, avoiding patrols and sentry posts, he hides behind a house where the map is hung. After waiting for a few people in the room to go out, he quickly slept with the two guards behind him, gently pushed open the back door, and in a flash, he took away the map hanging on the wall, and then flashed out of the room.

A few minutes later, both guards woke up, startled, how did they fall asleep? Neither of them dared to look at each other, keeping their doubts in their hearts.
