Chapter 190 Gu Shuikou
"You are ......" Company Commander Xie stood up and said, "You are here to deal with the Yue Devil Special Forces?" β
I didn't answer directly, but smiled and responded: "I said Company Commander Xie, you have been 'messing' on the battlefield for a few months!" Look at my troops...... Like a unit that hasn't fought before? β
"Not like that!" Company Commander Xie shook his head.
"And what kind of troops do you think we look like?" I asked again.
"Scouts, you're scouts!" Company Commander Xie said uncertainly.
I didn't answer the acquiescence, in this era, our army does not have any special forces, the soldiers only know scouts, in fact, our unit is also called the special reconnaissance brigade, in fact, it is also a scout.
"Comrade...... No! The chief ......" Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Lian Commander Xie couldn't help but be excited and regretful, he stomped his foot and said, "It's my fault, alas! What do you think I'm doing? You came here to avenge our sacrificed comrades, to deal with the Yue devil agents for us, and I also told you the conditions to reach out and ask for money, I am really not human......"
After a pause, he immediately stood up in front of me and said: "Report chief, if you have any requirements, as long as I can do it, even if it is up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, I will do it!" β
"Hey! Your name is still Xie Xianjian? Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "But I don't think your style of doing things is advanced at all......"
There was a coax, and the soldiers laughed.
Company Commander Xie embarrassedly 'touched' his head, and replied embarrassedly: "That'...... That's the name my dad gave me, and it doesn't matter if I don't go in first......"
Company Commander Xie's words once again provoked laughter from the soldiers.
"Build a fortification now!" After laughing for a while, I quickly passed the order on. The soldiers responded in unison, and then 'drawn' the sapper shovels and got busy.
I took Xie Xianjin and several other company commanders under him to sit in a slightly larger anti-artillery 'hole', and handed him a cigarette casually. This time, Company Commander Xie didn't refuse, he smiled at me a little embarrassedly, took the cigarette and lit it, and couldn't wait to 'smoke'.
"Tell me about the situation here!" I casually unwrapped the information in the rain cloth package and 'pulled' a map out of it.
"......" Company Commander Xie said while 'smoking' a cigarette while pointing to several locations on the map: "There is a minefield in front, 7 kilometers long from east to west, and 500 meters wide in depth and ......."
"Such a big minefield?!" I couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard this, what kind of idea is 7 kilometers long from east to west, that is, almost the entire front of our Faka Mountain is covered with fronts.
"Hmm!" Company Commander Xie nodded and said, "The superiors considered the abnormality of the Yue devils on the front line, and were worried that they would launch a counterattack on Mount Faka, so they used a rocket minelayer to throw 300,000 large and small mines at the front of the forward position!" β
Although I had been mentally prepared for the "300,000 landmines...... I was still taken aback by this number.
"The secret service force of the Yue Devil is powerful here!" Company Commander Xie sighed and said: "It is precisely because there are so many mines on the front of the position that we relaxed our vigilance, but we didn't expect that the Yue devils would be able to go through our minefield and directly take our artillery positions without realizing it...... This minefield is more than 500 meters wide, densely packed with mines, I really don't know how they managed to do it! β
In fact, it is not too difficult to do this, I quickly thought of the landmine moving king on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, if there are one or two demining masters like him in the Vietnamese army, then it is not impossible to pass through the minefield without noticing. Just like what we did on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the king of demining walked in front while clearing mines, and the others followed the footprints behind...... It's just that this is a little unimaginable for a soldier like Xie Xianjian, who has only been on the battlefield for a few months.
"It is said that ......" After thinking about it, I continued to ask: "The Yue devils are very familiar with the passwords of our troops, right?" β
"Hmm!" Company Commander Xie nodded, took a long puff of smoke rings, and then pointed to a location on the map and replied: "Later, we investigated, and only the 296 heights garrisoned by the Seventh Company passed through that night, and this is the ...... The number of people is about the same, so it should be the secret service unit of the Yue Devil! At that time, the sentries of the 7th Company were still wondering how they came from the south, and their answer was to go to the Yue devils to reconnoitre, and they asked them the right questions and the number of the troops, so they let them go, and it didn't take long for the artillery position to have an accident! β
After a pause, Company Commander Xie continued: "According to our thoughts, it must be that there are hidden spies in our troops, otherwise we change the password every day, they can't know the password so quickly, and they know the affairs of our army so clearly!" β
"Hmm!" I nodded and agreed with Lian Commander Xie's statement, which is indeed difficult to do without internal 'traitor'.
At this point, I couldn't help but feel worried, this mission was much more tricky than I thought, at least until now I know that the Vietnamese army agents have a master demining master, who can lead the troops to walk on the ground in the minefield, while our own actions are limited by the minefield. More importantly, the Vietnamese army has 'inserted' spy agents within our army, and they know everything about our situation, but we know nothing about them......
How should this battle be fought? It's an asymmetrical battle!
"Battalion commander!" The hometown man frowned and said: "In this way, the Vietnamese army can break through at any point on our front, and it can also be unimpeded in our troops." In other words, they can launch a surprise attack on our military's strategic targets anytime, anywhere, at any suitable time, and we will not be able to grasp their movements at all......"
"Not necessarily!" I say.
"What?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at me in doubt.
"That's right!" Pointing to the south of the map, I said: "There are 56 large and small highlands within seven kilometers south of Phaka Mountain, and 32 are under the control of our army, which means that there are only 14 under the control of the Vietnamese army. Because the number of heights controlled by the Vietnamese army is relatively small, and it is still under the deterrence of our artillery fire......"
Speaking of which, I turned my gaze to Company Commander Xie.
Company Commander Xie is also a smart person, and immediately replied: "Our artillery will not be polite to the dozen or so heights of the Yue devils, and if there is nothing to do, we will put a cannon!" β
"That's right!" I nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I believe that the Vietnamese army will not deploy their special forces on these dozen heights!" β
"Hmm!" The hometown and Li Zhishen and others couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
This is very obvious, because of the absolute superiority of our army's artillery fire, if the Vietnamese army still deploys its special forces on these dozen or so high grounds, it will undoubtedly run the risk of being bombarded by our army's artillery fire.
"So we can look further south......" I pointed to the map and continued, "Further south are the two big mountains that run east-west, and these two mountains are ......"
"The one on the left is Daliang Mountain, and the one on the right is Qingning Mountain!" Company Commander Xie continued my words and said: "The narrow valley between the two mountains is called Gushuikou, which was the 'crossing' artery that we had to pass through to support Vietnam and the choke point for the Vietnamese devils to enter our army's defensive zone, and we withdrew from there!" β
"Here's the problem......" I said, "If the Vietnamese agents are not on these dozen heights in front of us, then it is very likely that they will be behind this valley mouth, in other words, if the Vietnamese agents want to attack, they must pass through this valley mouth!" β
"Oh!" Hearing this, Company Commander Xie couldn't help but suddenly realize, he nodded and said, "What does the battalion commander mean...... Shall we go to Gushuikou and set up an ambush? But Gu Shuikou is a defense area of the Vietnamese army, will it be too dangerous to do so? β
"I think it can!" Li Zhifu clenched his fists and said: "The Vietnamese devils can sneak through the minefield and our defense area to attack our artillery units, and we can also pass through the minefield and the defense area of the Vietnamese army and set up an ambush in their place!" β
"But...... How is this in the minefield? How do you 'get' the password? The hometown people followed up and asked a question: "The more devils in the family have spies in our army, we are not that prepared!" Besides, even if we successfully pass through the minefield and ambush the Yue Devil defense line at Gushuikou, then the Yue Devil is coming and going in Gushuikou, how do we know which is the Yue Devil's secret service force and which is the ordinary force? β
I really wanted to send troops to ambush at Gushuikou, but as soon as he said this, I felt that it was indeed not feasible, and there were too many uncertain factors in this, and the operation of our special reconnaissance brigade was indeed to take risks, but we could not blindly take risks, and we could not rely on luck alone to fight.
So what to do?
I looked at the map in front of me under the light of the flashlight, looked at Phaka Mountain, and then looked at Daliang Mountain and Thanh Ninh Mountain, and suddenly realized that our army's defensive zone was actually a low-lying land surrounded by mountains on three sides, consisting of Phaka Mountain, Daliang Mountain, and Thanh Ninh Mountain, and the main defensive direction was Gushuikou, the 'intersection' road from the 142 heights where we were located to the 'Jiao' Pass in Vietnam......
In other words, if Vietnam were to organize a campaign-scale operation in the Phaka Hill area, its personnel and equipment would have to pass through Gu Shui Kou before they could deploy their forces along the terrain, and nothing else!
So, a bigger, more ruthless plan slowly unfolded in my mind...... ROοΌ ~οΌ
