Chapter 788: Danger
Tran Minh Triet simply finished dinner, brought a map of Vietnam that night, and found General Nguyen Van Thieu and asked to go to the place where John was surrounded immediately.
General Nguyen Van Thieu was taken aback, and in front of General Tyke, he said with some surprise: "That place is now under heavy siege by the Vietnamese People's Army, and we have two divisions of troops here, plus a regiment of the American army, all fighting with them, so it is very dangerous to go directly to them." ”
Lieutenant General Tyke has not been very smooth in his career since the Korean War, and since he became a lieutenant general after the Korean War, he has basically been at home.
The reason why I came here was because a number of US major generals and brigadier generals were killed in Vietnam, and the loss of senior officers undoubtedly made the Pentagon extremely angry and cautious.
Seeing the location of John's disappearance on the map, Chen Mingzhe couldn't help frowning. It wasn't until now that Chen Mingzhe finally learned the reason why John and the others disappeared.
It turns out that the recent series of operations of the US military have failed, a considerable number of US troops have been captured and imprisoned, and some of the captured US troops have been mistreated, and many people are estimated to be difficult to come back alive.
In order to rescue this group of American troops, his superiors asked John to rescue them as soon as possible, and John rescued several American prisoner of war camps in a row and rescued countless American prisoners of war.
The last time was to rescue one of the largest American prisoner of war camps, which housed at least 500 prisoners of war, if not more.
But this time, after not knowing that the intelligence officer gave John the wrong information, John attacked according to the information, and came to the prisoner of war camp with Huangshan, the prisoner of war camp here was obviously prepared, the defensive force was tripled, and John They were also ambushed, and in the battle, a battalion of 300 troops led by John, in the end, only more than 100 people remained.
As a result of aerial reconnaissance, John was forced to infiltrate Conglin Mountain after being ambushed, evading a frontal attack by the KPA.
The temporary plan finally got a temporary respite. In order to help John, the U.S. Air Force bombed John's People's Army day and night, and at the same time kept giving John's troops foster care.
But John and the others were also erratic, moving back and forth between the jungle and the mountains, and according to the reports of the investigators, they also seemed to lead hundreds of successful rescuers of the captives.
The pimple on Chen Mingzhe's brow grew bigger and bigger after hearing this, and John's situation seemed to be dangerous.
The only fortunate thing was that Huang San was there, Huang San was witty, he had fought in the Korean War, and he knew a lot about guerrilla warfare in China, hoping that he could help John escape and avoid the attack of the North Vietnamese People's Army.
Chen Mingzhe can't tell his current tendency, the U.S. military is supporting South Vietnam, China is supporting North Vietnam, and now he is saving John, but there is a conflict with North Vietnam, no wonder Yang Zhisheng is angry, but he wants to save John and Huangshan safely!
After discussing with Teck Nguyen Van Thieu, Tran Minh Zhe prepared to fly by helicopter to the accident area tomorrow morning to prepare.
Chen Mingzhe and Tek returned to the station and rested for half a night.
Early in the morning, the helicopter arrived at the dividing line between the north and south of Vietnam, where the fighting between the two sides was fierce and the positions were staggered.
The U.S. and South Vietnamese troops, on orders from their superiors, were launching an active attack in order to be able to converge with the besieged John's forces.
However, it seems that the North Vietnamese People's Army is also aware of the gravity of the nature and is also deploying troops to strengthen its control over the area.
Think about capturing a U.S. general and capturing a group of U.S. officers, which is definitely a big bargaining chip politically, so both sides will not give in to each other.
The U.S. bombers continued to bomb and even dropped incendiary bombs, while constantly dropping weapons and supplies such as food, water, and medicine so that John and them could support more.
The ground was full of war, and the trees on the various hills were basically blown away, and the smoke was everywhere, and the smoke was billowing out, and it was close, and the smoke directly made people cry.
Some of the hills were bombed dozens of meters shorter, the roads were muddy, and there were few good roads. In some theaters, the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were launching offensives at the same time, while in other theaters, the North Vietnamese People's Army was attacking.
The canines were intertwined, and the wounded were sent down from above one by one. Stray bullets flew everywhere, the roar of airplanes in the air and the roar of cannons made people's ears seem to be deaf.
As a last resort, Chen Mingzhe and the others retreated seven or eight kilometers.
After stationing, the two sides began to discuss how to rescue the next step, whether to drop troops by air, or to enter the dangerous area in a roundabout way to rescue directly, or to use a large-scale armed attack.
Tran Minh Zhe, Tek and Nguyen Van Thieu argued for a long time, Nguyen Van Thieu's troops were okay to defend the city, and if they wanted them to send a large-scale attack, it was estimated that there was a problem with combat effectiveness.
And if the US military continues to attack, once the casualties increase, it will be difficult to explain to the above.
In the end, after earning for a long time, there was no conclusion, and the night could only rest temporarily, and there was at least thirty kilometers away from the place where John and the others disappeared, even if it was from the place where they were fighting.
When John first rescued the prisoners of war, it was a prisoner of war camp more than 50 kilometers from the place where they were fighting. Later, after the rescue, they moved about 20 kilometers to the US military garrison and lost contact.
Although the actions of Tek and Tran Minh Zhe were kept secret, they were reported to their superiors, and the arrival of a large number of observation and rescue troops still aroused the alarm of the surrounding North Vietnamese troops. The offensive was more rapid, but the offensive on the frontal battlefield did not fully represent the entire battlefield situation, and in the vicinity of John's disappearance, American special forces and North Vietnamese search forces also clashed privately.
Chen Mingzhe and Tyke returned to their station at 12 a.m. to rest, and they planned to meet again after 7 a.m. to prepare for the attack.
At night, with occasional sporadic artillery fire and gunfire, the night was a little easier than during the day.
Chen Mingzhe was at his station, next to a tent, looking at the war zone with his binoculars, sighed, and slept in his clothes, with his pistol beside him.
Three kilometers away from Chen Mingzhe's station, an assassination team of four people, all four of whom were tall, had arrived. The leader of the quartet is tall, bearded, and has thick eyebrows. The muscles of the arms are strong, and the people are powerful. There was a fierce murderous aura in his eyes.
On their left and right flanks was a group of four, and both teams were under the orders of this group, and they quietly crossed the combat zone and lurked in the rest area of the US troops, in order to carry out a new combat order, which was to assassinate the heads of the US military observation and rescue mission, Lieutenant General Tyck and Major General Chen Mingzhe.
