Chapter 557: Looking Back
Not all men are good drinkers, at least there are very few people in the special brigade who are addicted to alcohol. However, no matter how bad the person is, he also knows that Wuliangye is a good wine, whether it is a cadre or a soldier, when he usually drinks, few people can buy such a good wine. It's rare for Team Xu to be so generous, so whether he can drink it or not, he finally tilted his neck arrogantly and dried up the wine in the cup.
The glass is not small, a glass of wine can have about three taels, and people with a deep amount of wine feel okay, but people with a shallow amount of wine immediately feel dizzy. But it didn't matter anymore, because they immediately received their equipment, were put in the car, and the dizzy people got into the car and closed their eyes.
When they set off, Xu Yunfu personally sent them to the gate, but the legendary leader of the military region did not appear. Not only did the leaders not come, but even the people below did not come. The insiders of the special brigade now know that there is going to be a big operation, but the specific content is unknown, the number of people dispatched is unknown, almost no one knows, and the three-part team that has just been formed has also been pulled out, and it is a top soldier mission.
For reasons of secrecy, the car sent by the special brigade this time was not a luxury bus, the car was a bit too ostentatious, Cheng Zhichao and they could only be aggrieved, taking an ordinary military truck, and the back shed was tightly covered with tarpaulin, and the light outside could not penetrate at all. However, the roof of each car is equipped with a battery-powered lamp, so although the light outside the car cannot be penetrated, the inside of the car is still very bright, this humanized design, or under the kind care of Xu Yunfu to make improvements, well received by officers and soldiers.
More than 100 people took more than a dozen large trucks and left the camp and turned onto the main road leading to another unknown area. Outwardly, these trucks are no different from the trucks of ordinary troops. People who don't know the truth will only think that it is just an ordinary training conducted by a certain unit, who would have thought that the back compartment was full of the most elite troops of the Southwest Military Region at this time?
The road was flat, but the shock absorption of the car was not very good, so I still felt a little tremor. Start as soon as you get in the car. Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu's eyes became brighter and brighter, their faces were flushed abnormally, and even a few green tendons broke out on their necks. Cheng Zhichao looked at them like this, secretly worried in his heart, and asked Xia Zhenyang in a low voice, "Squad leader, are you okay?" ”
"What can I do?" The corners of Xia Zhenyang's mouth turned upward, and his expression became a little evil, "In a few months, it will be a full year." Xiao Lei and I have been waiting for more than half a year. It's finally today, okay. ”
"It is always said that the losses of the third division are huge, in fact, only the two old men are left to continue to serve, and the losses are indeed big enough. But I have never heard of what caused such a big loss. Squad leader, if you are free today, tell us what is going on, so that we also have a spectrum in our hearts. Zhao Jiyong sat next to Cheng Zhichao. As soon as Cheng Zhichao and Xia Zhenyang said a word, he was attracted to him.
Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu were unusually excited, and he didn't pay too much attention to them. At this time, what he wanted to know most was what happened to the previous three-point team to be wiped out. So with a mouth, he interrupted Cheng Zhichao's concern for Xia Zhenyang, and took advantage of this action to ask the question he wanted to ask the most.
This matter has been classified as a secret in the special brigade and the military region, and with Xia Zhenyang's identity, he can only know about these two levels of units. Whether he has registered with the Military Commission or not, he has no right to know.
According to normal procedures, matters classified as confidential must not be disseminated. But now the people sitting in the car are all members of the third team. There is not a single outsider. Although it is confidential, it is also the history of the third team, and as a member of the third team, it is a matter of course to know some inside information. In addition, Cheng Yanming was not in the car, and Xia Zhenyang and Lei Qiyu had been holding back for so long in their hearts, almost reaching a critical point, and they also wanted to find someone to talk to.
Xia Zhenyang glanced at Lei Qiyu, sighed, and his eyes quickly contracted: "Speaking of which, I have been confused about this matter until now. ”
Lei Qiyu also said: "Don't talk about you and me, even Team Cheng and Team Xu feel a headache." ”
"So strict?" Zhao Jiyong exclaimed.
"Because we don't even know who our opponents are. It was a simple task, but it happened so big, it was not normal at all. ”
"Tell me what's going on."
"The reason is very simple, as you all know, our troops' defense areas border several countries, the environment is complex, and the enemy situation is complicated, so the combat mission of our special forces is the highest in the whole army. Although it is said that every military region has a special brigade directly under the military region, and even the General Staff Department has a special combat team directly under the General Staff Headquarters, their special forces rarely have the opportunity to fight in real combat. ”
"I know this, for example, the special forces of the Northeast Military Region, I have never heard of any combat missions they have performed. In contrast, it is still our brigade that is stimulating. ”
"Of course you're excited now, but in the future, I'm afraid you won't think so." Xia Zhenyang smiled bitterly, "A few months ago, the third team received a mission, and several business people were kidnapped abroad and extorted a large amount of money. But after the kidnappers received the money, they brazenly tore up the tickets and killed all those people. ”
"Isn't this incident happening a year ago, the news said that our country deeply regrets this matter and lodged a strict protest against them, hoping that they will give an explanation and will pay close attention to the progress of the situation. At the same time, deep sympathy for the victims. It's just that the murderer hasn't been caught yet, and he hasn't even found out who did it, which shows that the efficiency of foreigners is really poor. ”
"These are all mouth-banging at the top, for outsiders to see. In fact, less than half a month after the incident, it was already found out who the murderer was. It's just that the other side has a lot of power, and the combat power of the local government army is not very strong, so there is no way to bring the murderer to justice. ”
"It's understandable that their troops are simply tofu scum." At this time, more and more people were attracted by their conversation, and after listening to Xia Zhenyang's words, they nodded their heads one after another, thinking deeply.
The low combat effectiveness of the local government army is already a universally recognized fact, it is said that at one time. The government army dispatched four to five hundred people to encircle and suppress an armed drug trafficking group of more than 20 people, which was nearly 20 times more than the other side, but after paying the price of dozens of lives, they actually allowed those people to escape. The incident caused an uproar, and several senior military leaders resigned. Through this one thing, you can judge it. The combat effectiveness of the local government army is probably not even as good as that of the domestic reserves.
"You can't say that, you know, their government army is still very combat-capable, but on the one hand, due to financial reasons, their weapons have not been updated, and their maintenance is not in place, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. On the other hand, a small country with a big fart is divided into five or six factions. There is no internal unity, and no matter how good the soldiers are, they can't fight at a high level. As for other reasons, not to mention, in short, it is very chaotic, and in this case, it is reasonable that their combat effectiveness cannot be brought into play. ”
"Don't talk about them, talk about the third team. And then? ”
Later, they went through guò diplomacy. Secretly, they got in touch with the country and told them about the difficulties they encountered. put on a scoundrel face, and simply said that they found out who did it, but there was no way to catch the murderer. If we want to avenge the dead, we better send out a good army. Coalition with the most elite units of their government forces to destroy the murderer's lair in one fell swoop. ”
"I'll go, this abacus is quite loud. Borrow our strength to help them get rid of stubborn tumors. ”
"That's what they're doing, and of course their superiors know their thoughts very well. But there is no alternative. If the murderer is not brought to justice, it will inevitably deter other businessmen from this place, and the economic aspect will definitely be greatly affected. Therefore, the superiors handed over the combat task to our special brigade, and the requirement was to be sure to capture the first culprit alive and bring him back to China for interrogation. ”
"So the brigade handed over the task to our third team?"
"Well, that's it. The other side's request is to keep it as secret as possible, and not to let the world know that the Chinese army is involved in this encirclement and suppression operation, so it cannot send too many people. According to the information transferred by the other party, and then synthesizing the information transmitted from the inside, the Xu brigade also believes that a special operations detachment is completely competent. After the study and decision of the party committee of the brigade, this task was handed over to our third team. ”
Zhao Jiyong caught a few key words in his words, and immediately became interested again: "Squad leader, we still have an inside line, what's going on with this inside line?" ”
This time, Xia Zhenyang not only did not answer him, but glared at him, and said with a calm face: "If you shouldn't know, don't ask casually." How do you memorize your confidentiality rules? ”
As soon as Zhao Jiyong's words came out, he already felt that something was wrong. This kind of thing is not something that he should inquire about as a small soldier. Sure enough, as soon as he asked, he was reprimanded by Xia Zhenyang, Zhao Jiyong couldn't help but blush, laughed twice, and stopped asking.
"At the beginning, the movement was very smooth, we crossed the border in the night, and after less than two kilometers, we met the person on the opposite side. Under their leadership, go straight to the lair of the murderer. It was very calm along the way, not to mention people, and I didn't even see a few beasts. According to intelligence, the murderer's lair is about 120 kilometers away from the national border, a place carved out of the deep mountains and old forests, the geographical environment is very complicated, but the number of the other party is not too large. We plan to spend two days to reach our destination, and another two days to conduct reconnaissance and find out the details of the other side before deciding how to act. ”
"In action, something happened?"
Xia Zhenyang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, the fact is that we didn't wait to reach our destination before we had an accident." ”
Lei Qiyu said: "At that time, we had already walked all night, and the body was extremely consumed, and the sky was about to dawn, so the captain decided to rest in place. Due to the complexity of the jungle, you don't know where you're going to encounter rebels or armed criminal groups. Although we have also carried out overseas missions, we have rarely penetrated tens of kilometers abroad. Therefore, this area of terrain is also a blank for us, and it is better to operate at night for the sake of safety. ”
"That is, if I were a commander, I would also choose to operate at night, and our army's ability to fight night battles is world-class." Zhao Jiyong said proudly.
Xia Zhenyang ignored him and continued: "At that time, the captain ordered me and Xiao Lei to be on covert guard two kilometers behind the rear of the large army, so as not to let anyone copy our back road. At the same time, they sent others to walk two kilometers to be on guard like us, and the others were to rest in place and not to light fires. Only dry food is allowed. Xiao Lei and I had just chosen a hidden location when they had an accident. ”
"As soon as you arrived, you heard gunshots?"
"How can it be so exaggerated, deep in the dense forest, the sound is not easy to transmit, even if they shoot. Voices could be heard from two kilometres away. It was the captain who ordered us to rush over to support the communication equipment, and we realized that there was already a fight over there. After receiving the captain's order, Xiao Lei and I immediately went to support at full speed, but encountered a small enemy resistance on the way. ”
"Squad leader, with all due respect, I'm afraid that you have been targeted by people before you even decided to camp, but the other party has not made a move. When you were sleepy and ready to rest, you suddenly launched an attack and caught you off guard. Cheng Zhichao thought for a while and pointed out the problem.
"In hindsight, I thought it should have been the case. Jungle warfare is an important part of our training. The other party can hide so well in the jungle, staring at us all the time, but we don't notice it. Obviously, the opponent's jungle warfare skills are not weaker than ours at all. Coupled with the fact that we are surrounded by fighters from the local government army, we trust them a little too much. A little paralyzed in thought. ”
Xia Zhenyang sighed and said, "When Xiao Lei and I eliminated that small group of enemies and rushed to the location of the incident, it was already too late. Before we could reach the place, we ran into our retreating personnel. At that time, their losses were already large, and the captain was seriously wounded. Already unconscious. Everyone else is on the fence, and the enemy is still chasing after us. ”
"What about government forces?" Cheng Zhichao opened his mouth and asked.
Xia Zhenyang glanced at him approvingly, and all the people in the carriage were in a trance, but Cheng Zhichao could still ask how the situation of the government army was, which was enough to show that Cheng Zhichao's mind was unusually calm. If they are attacked. The losses of the government army are not too large, and it is almost certain that this matter has a lot to do with the local government.
Don't look at it, they took the initiative to ask China to send troops to help them suppress the bandits, but no one can guarantee whether there is a deeper conspiracy in this. After all, the special brigade is active in the border areas, and for them, it is also a great threat. If this incident is used as a trick to lure the special brigade into the bait, it will be a great good thing for them.
Lei Qiyu said: "The losses of the government army are also very heavy, but they are quite righteous, and when they fled for their lives, they even carried the bodies of the two soldiers we died in battle. Their combat effectiveness is not good, and they can only do this work. The captain was unconscious, and we could only fight and retreat under the leadership of the vice-captain. ”
Cheng Zhichao said "oh", he did suspect that this was a set up by the government army, but the government army even dispatched the most elite troops and special brigades to cooperate in the case of tight troops. Even if they can't fight a war, if the other party intends to release water, there should be no problem in self-preservation. Lei Qiyu said that their losses were also heavy, so the possibility of setting up a trap would not be too great.
The number of troops is tight, and they have to take out their most elite troops as victims, and I believe that the local government will not do this no matter how stupid it is. And Xia Zhenyang They are all experienced veterans, and whether they are with them is the most elite army, it can be seen at a glance that it is impossible to fake.
Xia Zhenyang continued: "At that time, we only lost two people, and the others were slightly or seriously injured, only me and Xiao Lei were still intact. However, with two corpses, the speed of retreat will definitely be affected. So the deputy captain decided to hide the remains of the martyrs for the time being, and take care of the living first. ”
"The enemy is chasing you behind, how can you hide the body in such a short time?"
"It's very simple, the primeval jungle is not only trees and grass, but also slopes and bumps, and the terrain is also very complicated. When we were retreating, we came across a ridge, and we put the bodies of the martyrs under them, and then blew them up with grenades and explosives, and the bodies of the martyrs were buried. At Tukan, we resisted desperately for a while, and after the explosives went off, one man confirmed that the body was completely buried, and then continued to retreat with the wounded. ”
Cheng Zhichao suddenly realized: "That's it, in Tukan, you resist fiercely, and you can cover up the truth of your buried remains." Even if someone finds out that the ridge has been bombed, they will think that it was caused by the fighting, and they will not suspect that it was intentional on your part. ”
"At that time, we had to do this, and we didn't know if we could hide it from the world. After blowing up the ridge, we continued to fight and retreat. After the government army fought desperately, fortunately the men chased after a while and then returned. The group was able to escape, and the government forces assisted us in bringing the seriously wounded back to the country. At that time, only two people were killed in the battle, but the seriously wounded were not treated in time, and six more people were sacrificed one after another. The three-point team will collapse. ”
"In this way, those government troops are really righteous, and they would rather die themselves than send you back."
"They have to do this, no one knows who attacked us, and if even a body of our fighters falls into the hands of the other side, and the other side publicizes it internationally, they will not be able to give an account. At the end of the day, they're still doing it for themselves. (To be continued......)
