Chapter 194: Veteran

Chapter 194: Veteran

In the days that followed, the activities of the Vietnamese army agents became more and more frequent, and highway bridges, ammunition and medicine depots, and granaries became their targets, and they even sometimes carried out infiltration warfare against our army's defense units, and they came one after another, giving us the feeling of making 'waves' and 'making waves' in our troops.

I have to admit that this is a considerable blow to the morale of our troops, and the main reason is that these Vietnamese agents are extremely difficult to identify, and most of the sneak attacks launched are suicide 'sexual' attacks. Our soldiers have a sense of powerlessness that they can't be caught and can't be caught, and that it's too late to find out their identities.

Of course, there were times when the Vietnamese army's secret attacks failed, and last night there was a 15-member Vietnamese army agent who attacked an engineer unit of our army. At first, I was still wondering why Vietnamese agents would take such a big risk to attack our army's engineering troops, Vietnamese agents are also a very valuable resource, aren't they? Later, I learned that the Vietnamese agents were not at all untargeted, because the engineer unit had been airlifted from Beijing with advanced single-sideband radios and synchronous FM bilateral bands, and their mission was to ensure unimpeded communication in the main defensive directions of Phaka Mountain......

From this, we can also know that the Vietnamese army agents can be said to have a clear grasp of the situation inside our army, and there are some things that I don't even know about, but they have already launched attacks against 'sex'.

However, this time they were not so lucky, listening to the situation that Xie Xianjin said, it was that the engineer unit who was on guard last night happened to be an experienced veteran. This veteran saw that the person who came was wearing our army's military uniform and speaking fluent Chinese, and even hummed "big production" while walking, looking relaxed.

If only ordinary people wouldn't suspect anything about him at all, but this veteran kept an extra eye and ordered the people to stand from afar. When answering the veteran's questions, the visitor answered them fluently, but he answered incorrectly when answering the number of the unit, because the brother unit with this number had just changed its guard and returned home a few hours ago.

If someone else encounters this situation, they will definitely ask a few times: "Didn't all your troops return home?" Why are you still here? ”

Then the Vietnamese agent would reply: "Oh, I happened to be out on a mission, and I didn't make it in time to join the troops."

……

However, this veteran did not do this, and most of the tasks of the engineer unit were demining, communications, bridge-building, blasting, etc., so he rarely faced the enemy directly, but this veteran was originally an infantry who had fought with the Yue devils on the battlefield, and later because he was injured and it was inconvenient to go to the battlefield again, so he was transferred to a relatively relaxed engineer unit organizationally.

A soldier who has fought and killed people is ruthless, and the veteran made a decision after grasping such a slight doubt. He nodded silently to let the other party closer, but secretly opened the safety of the pistol, and when the other party walked a few meters away in front of him, he pulled out his pistol and hit him in a 'mess...... So two well-trained Vietnamese agents died at the hands of an unknown soldier. Other Vietnamese agents hiding in the bushes immediately turned to a surprise attack when they saw that the situation was not good, but our army was prepared, and the number of Vietnamese agents was small, and the result was conceivable - none of the fifteen Vietnamese agents left, eight were killed on the spot, and the rest fled to a civilian house surrounded by our troops, and then several rockets bombarded people and houses.

Later, someone asked the veteran who was on guard: "You shoot just because you have a little doubt based on the number of your answer, what if they are your own people?" ”

"What else can I do?" The veteran replied easily: "If it is my own people, I will pay for their lives."

The success of this battle soon spread throughout the army, and the veterans became heroes, and all the sentries were given orders to shoot if they encountered suspicious people who answered the questions incorrectly.

The outside world was turned upside down, and our special reconnaissance brigade, which was used to deal with Vietnamese agents, had nothing to do on the 142 heights. Unlike other units, we are not paying close attention to the Vietnamese special forces, but to the regular Vietnamese army, which is silent on the front. In the end, it wasn't just Xie Xianjin and Political Commissar Li who had opinions about me, but even the soldiers under my command didn't understand it.

Even the people in my hometown complained in front of me: "I said the battalion commander...... I thought you didn't act before because you wanted to put a long line to catch a big fish, but now that the big fish has come out, why don't you reel in the line? ”

The people in my hometown guessed well, I did put a long line to catch a big fish. It's just that what people in my hometown don't know is...... The so-called big fish in his eyes is nothing more than the bait I released

At this time, of course, I will not be soft-hearted, and anyone who gives me advice and asks me to fight will be forced back with a sentence of "obey orders", even the people in my hometown.

The telegrams were sent to me one by one from the base, letting me know that after our army secretly mobilized the two artillery divisions and a large number of artillery shells mentioned earlier, in order to achieve the goal of quickly striking at the Vietnamese infantry in a large area, our army sent five additional rocket artillery battalions, plus the three artillery battalions that our army originally arranged in the direction of Phaka Mountain, our army has invested as many as 26 artillery battalions in the direction of Phaka Mountain.

This can't help but make me a little nervous, how many 'guns' and ammunition 'medicine' are there in the twenty-six artillery battalions, not to mention the rest, just secretly transporting and hiding these cannons and shells, I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be 'spent', what if the devils don't attack? Or are they just small attacks? What's more important is that the Vietnamese agents are doing everything in the friendly forces, and we are obviously here but doing nothing, if there is no result, how should we 'communicate' with the friendly troops and the soldiers?

On the other hand, I also know that all these worries are useless, as the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, and now there seems to be only one thing I can do, and that is to "wait".

At 11:50 p.m. that night, when I was boredly 'smoking' a cigarette and staring at the map on my desktop, the signal corpsman suddenly handed me a telegram with the following message: "The news came from the electronic listening unit, and the Vietnamese army sent a radio signal from the front radio station, which was deciphered to read: 'All units report on the state of readiness.'"

"Okay" Seeing this news, I couldn't help but stand up and shouted excitedly: "the drop finally did it"

After walking a few steps back and forth in front of the desk, I shouted to the correspondent next to me, "Immediately call a meeting of the cadres of each company."

In less than five minutes, three company commanders stood in front of me, and Xie Xianjin came with them...... Anyway, I didn't call him originally, but he was an instructor in the army at this time, so the correspondent called him together.

"Battalion Commander" As soon as Li Zhifu stepped into the battalion headquarters, he shouted at me: "Is there a mission to call us here so late?" I'm about to get sick here."

"Think beautifully" Xie Xian responded: "Let's assign the training plan again......"

I smiled and said disapprehantly: "From now on, all units should be ready for battle, closely observe the movements of the Vietnamese army in the direction of our army's frontal defense, and report to the higher authorities as soon as there is a situation."

As soon as I said this, the soldiers were a little confused, they looked at me, I looked at you, and in the end it was the words of the hometown people: "Battalion commander, let's ...... It's the secret service unit that you're dealing with, isn't it? Why pay attention to the Vietnamese army defending the front? ”

"There is a good chance that the Vietnamese army will launch an offensive on the scale of a campaign against Phaka Mountain, and the time is tomorrow," I replied.

"What?" Listening to my sudden words, everyone was stunned, and after a while, Li Zhifu reacted and exclaimed excitedly: "Good guy, either you won't come, and as soon as you come, you will have a big ......."

"Battalion Commander" Xie Xianjin stood up in horror when he heard this, and said, "Where did you get the news?" Our troops are not prepared, and the Vietnamese agents have been overwhelmed during this time, which is ......"

"Don't worry," the hometown man interrupted Xie Xinjian's words and said, "Didn't you see the calm and relaxed appearance of our battalion commander?" Can he still make your troops suffer? ”

Xie Xian thought about it, but he still looked at me with some anxiety to get a clear answer.

I smiled and said, "If it weren't for the anxiety of your troops, how could the more devils be so easy to take the bait and attack Faka Mountain?" ”

"Oh," I said, and the soldiers all understood, it turned out that I had let the Vietnamese agents ignore it or deliberate during this time.

"Here's the situation," I said, pointing to the map on my desk, "during this time, our army has secretly mobilized two artillery divisions, five rocket artillery battalions, and an infantry regiment near Mount Faka. As long as we confirm that the Vietnamese army has an ambush on the defensive front or signs of a large-scale campaign attack, the artillery units can provide us with artillery support within fifteen minutes, and the infantry units will reach Pha Kha Hill within three hours. Our mission ...... It is to determine whether the Vietnamese army has launched an offensive on the scale of the campaign, and then notify the main force of the information in time. ”

The soldiers didn't react for a long time, they were probably frightened by this series of numbers, two artillery divisions plus five rocket artillery battalions, even if they hit Tongdeng, they didn't use so many artillery units...... So much so that it took him a while for them to respond "got it" one after another.

I didn't blame them because I also felt that it was normal to have such a reaction.
