Chapter 72 Smuggling into the Country
The old country of Laos covers an area of about 237,000 square kilometers. Located in the north of the Indochina Peninsula, it is a landlocked country, bordering Dayue Country in the east, Pu Cambodia Village in the south, Jia Thailand in the southwest, Dian-Myanmar in the northwest, and China in the north, with 80% of the territory being mountains and plateaus.
The country's military forces are composed of three arms: land, sea and air
Its army was the oldest and the largest number, with about 50,000 men.
Among them, there are 5 infantry divisions, 7 independent regiments, more than 30 battalions, and 65 independent companies of the main force. There are more than 30 battalions of local troops and county-affiliated troops.
2 regiments of ground artillery, more than 10 battalions. Anti-aircraft artillery 1 regiment 9 battalions. 2 battalions of missile forces. 7 battalions of armored corps.
6 battalions of special forces. 9 battalions of communications troops. 6 battalions of engineering troops.
There are 2 regiments and 13 battalions of infrastructure engineering corps. Transport troops 7 battalions.
The Army's equipment is basically equipment aided by China and the former Soviet Union and some American-style equipment captured from the War of Resistance Against the United States.
The Navy's inland river unit has a total strength of about 1,700 people, equipped with more than 110 inland river boats, and is organized into four fleets. There are 8 bases such as Mangkuan, Baneng, Nakan, Taqu, Nangai, and Pakse.
The Lao Air Force was established in August 1975 and currently has 2 regiments and 11 flight groups, with a total strength of about 2,000 troops. It is equipped with 140 aircraft of various kinds, mainly supplied by the former Soviet Russia and taken over from the Royal Air Force of the Vientiane regime.
This is just the government army, there are many non-state forces in the country, forming a lot of warlord power.
The old country of Laos is located in a tropical and subtropical climate, with abundant rainfall, so the terrain is mostly jungle, because of traffic constraints, so the economy is mostly based on agriculture, and the industrial base is very weak. It is one of the least developed countries in the world.
In the vast sea, the waves are undulating, a civilian fishing boat is lonely on the sea, the boat is full of people, and two middle-aged men armed with AK47 assault rifles stand in the bow, cautiously looking at the sea in front of them.
Sitting on the smuggling boat sailing from the southern waters of China to the old country of Laos, Ye Feng closed his eyes slightly, and his heart was constantly remembering the human geography of the old country of Laos.
Knowing the climate conditions of the old country of Laos, Ye Feng and the others will prepare the corresponding equipment and adopt the corresponding tactics.
In order to reduce the risk of exposure, Ye Feng's five people acted separately, and the three old bird team members were more experienced in reconnaissance, so they directly sneaked into the country from the southwest border of China.
Lu Shi disguised himself as a tourist from the Chinese country and arrived directly in the old country of Laos by civil aviation.
And Ye Feng took a smuggling boat from a ferry port in Xiguang Province, China, first went to Dayue Country, and then crossed the border to reach the old country of Laos.
According to the itinerary, Ye Feng will stay at sea for nearly five hours before he can reach the port of Rong City in Da Yue Kingdom, where Ye Feng needs to find the Huaxia agent comrades who came to meet him, and through his help, he will reach the old country of Laos.
Finally, after more than five hours of arduous journey, after dodging the searchlights of several Da Viet national coast guard patrol boats, the smuggling boat bravely arrived in Da Viet Vinh City in the faint light of dawn.
Carrying a cheap travel bag, Ye Feng, like other stowaways, lowered his body and approached the jungle on the shore.
Entering the jungle, Ye Feng discarded the travel bag that was used as a decoration, took out a black elderly machine from the canvas trouser belt, and after taking a closer look, Ye Feng chose a direction and ran wildly.
It is worth mentioning that this is not an ordinary elderly machine, but a special mobile phone that integrates encrypted communication, positioning, and other functions.
After running for more than ten minutes, Ye Feng vaguely heard gunshots coming from behind him, and Ye Feng guessed in his heart that it was estimated that the Dayue police had discovered this group of stowaways and were arresting them.
Half an hour later, Ye Feng crossed the jungle and stood on the edge of a muddy road.
Hidden on the side of the road, Ye Feng waited for a few minutes before hearing a roar in the distance.
After a while, an old truck drove over, and Ye Feng jumped out of the woods, standing calmly on the side of the road, quietly looking at this old truck.
The truck stopped beside Ye Feng, the driver didn't speak, Ye Feng walked straight forward, pulled the car door, and climbed up.
The vehicle started and made its way down the dirt path.
"Hello Comrade Blade, my name is Zhang Hua, and I received news that you are coming."
The middle-aged driver who was driving was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and while controlling the steering wheel, he said to Ye Feng.
"Good work."
Ye Feng chuckled lightly and replied.
According to the plan, this car will carry Ye Feng across the Great Yue Country and reach the border.
The security of Dayue is very poor, there is no security check in the country, it is basically unimpeded, and there are his own people to respond, Ye Feng is relieved to sleep, recuperating.
……
"Blade, now that we have reached the predetermined location, my mission is complete, I wish you all the best in completing your mission, and in a week, I will be here to meet you."
Zhang Hua looked at Ye Feng who was standing below, and after saluting each other, he gave Ye Feng a thumbs up to indicate a smooth journey, and then drove away.
According to the map, Ye Feng walked two kilometers forward and would reach the location of the Dayue border.
According to intelligence, every hour and a half on this section of the border, a wave of patrols will pass by, and the old Laos side will have a wave of patrols two hours later.
There will be a half-hour gap between the border guards of these two countries, and Ye Feng needs to seize this gap to cross the border and reach the old country of Laos.
It's very easy to say, but it's actually very dangerous, because once the time is not grasped correctly, whether it is discovered by that country's army, Ye Feng will definitely die, because he has no equipment now, and he has almost no ability to fight back.
Looking at the time, it is now at the gap point of the border defense of the two countries, Ye Feng no longer hesitated, chose a good direction, and moved forward quickly with his body low.
After fifteen minutes of walking, he saw a boundary monument erected high, and behind the boundary monument was a row of barbed wire three or four meters high, and he knew that this was the national border without thinking about it.
This kind of barbed wire fence is not the slightest difficulty for Ye Feng at all, he climbs up in three or two and jumps down.
Quickly cleaning up the traces on the ground, Ye Feng first burrowed into a jungle in the territory of the old country of Laos.
After determining the direction again, Ye Feng continued to shuttle through the jungle.
It has to be said that this dense jungle is simply a paradise for stowaways, and with the cover of the jungle, it is difficult to be detected.
The small number and poor equipment of the old national army of Laos is one of the reasons why smuggling is so easy to succeed.
Ye Feng's attack this time was a bit long, because the transportation was inconvenient, so the contact point was designed thirty kilometers away from the old border of Laos.
But with his super physical fitness, after nearly two hours of traveling, Ye Feng finally saw a muddy path......
