Chapter Forty-Eight: From Snow Country to the Jungle

"So, we also need to update our equipment, from this anti-mosquito oil paint, to this insecticide powder, to sleeping bags and raincoats!"

"I think you'll thank me when you get to Vietnam!"

Except for the "dumb" Groman, everyone else here is not surprised, the dumb man can't understand Chinese, and there will inevitably be delays in communication, Xing Tian said in Chinese, Chen Zilu translated the mute in Russian, although the content of his translation was not necessarily accurate.....

It's really inconvenient to have more Russians in this team, language is one thing, and everyone has to try to accept him, re-cultivate tacit understanding, in order to facilitate coordination when acting, in fact, this time Xingtian didn't plan to let the dumb man take on any important role, his task is to see the style of lone wolf action with the team, so as to adapt.

It's unrealistic to let the lone wolf cooperate with the dumb man, so it's better to let him adapt to the lone wolf's combat mode as soon as possible is the fastest shortcut to get him in.

After Xing Tian finished speaking, he began to pretend to start digging things from the backpack on the ground, and it was better for him to have the secret of the infinite fire system not to be known by others.

Oil paint, insecticide powder were divided, and then gave the dumb a set of jungle camouflage, this camouflage uniform for the team members who had been given to the lone wolf before, so there was not much waste of points.

The jungle camouflage that Xing Tian took out made the dumb man very novel, this was the first time he had seen this kind of clothes, and everyone could understand his thoughts at this time, just like when they first saw him.

Jungle combat boots, wire saws, broadsword mines and other weapons and equipment that can be used have also been exchanged, because it is still jungle warfare, this time Xingtian did not exchange more thermobaric grenades, only one per person, this thing is very likely to become a suicide attack weapon.....

Seeing that the points were reduced to less than 50,000 little by little, Xingtian could only pray that he could meet a large-scale US military in Vietnam, otherwise he would really become a poor ghost.

It's a bad feeling to watch your savings dwindle.

The mute was given a day to accept the fact that he was about to go to battle, and the next day, a group of seven people boarded a special plane to Hanoi, accompanied by Kolinov and his soldiers.

The team of seven became seventeen when they got on the plane, and the entourage stuffed the Ry-2 transport plane to the brim.

Speaking of the entourage, it seems that the lone wolves are the ones who accompany them, because this transport plane was arranged for a high-ranking official to visit Vietnam, and the lone wolves only took a hitchhiker, and it seems that the Soviet Union is not too rich......

Because they were separated from the high-ranking official, they were crammed into the cargo hold at the tail of the plane, and some supplies were thrown inside, and the crowded cargo hold didn't even have a space to lie flat, and this long-distance flight took about 16 hours.

Stay up, everyone in the cargo hold is holding their own backpacks, breathing in turbid gases, waiting to land.

"It's a flight..... "Kolinov couldn't hold back.

Xing Tian hugged his backpack and pillowed it on the cabin wall and said, "Lieutenant Colonel, you should have thought of this step a long time ago, and then you can ask your pilot to prepare a comfortable plane for us alone." ”

Sand Dog punched his backpack: "It's not because we happened to catch this plane, as long as we move our mouths, they won't know what it's like to be nestled in this crowded space!" ”

Chu Jian and the others laughed, compared to this lieutenant colonel, they have come here from the hard days of eating nests, and they don't care about the current environment at all.

If it is domestic now, probably they will not even see the shadow of the transport aircraft.

The long-distance flight was very boring, and Gao Baoguo started to adjust the atmosphere: "Captain, you say that the Vietnamese are really so ruthless? ”

Xing Tian lifted the urine bag from under his crotch and threw it into the trash can, there was no toilet on it, so the bag could only be used for convenience.

When he was throwing away his excrement, Xing Tian suddenly thought of a news story about an unlucky ghost on the ground who was killed by an icicle, and the icicle was the filth discharged from the plane......

Sitting back in his seat, Xing Tian took Gao Baoguo's words and said: "When I say ruthlessness, I don't simply say that they are ruthless to the enemy, but they are ruthless to themselves and themselves, although I have never fought with the Vietnamese, but I have heard of some of them, especially the North Vietnam we are about to go to, do you know, those Vietnamese will put themselves in a hole less than half a meter high, and live in it for a long time." ”

"Why do I say that the Vietnam War will last for a long time, can you imagine how the Americans will be able to defeat this group of Vietnamese soldiers hiding in their burrows?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Xingtian continued: "This point is naturally verified by the US military personally, but I think the US military will have a headache because of the appearance of these holes." ”

With that out of the way, let's first take a look at what the battlefield in Vietnam looks like now:

Since the US government announced that it would help Vietnam reunify, a large number of US soldiers began to land in Vietnam from Cam Ranh, and according to the Vietnam War in the impression of Xingtian, the United States used all kinds of high-tech weapons except for the atomic bomb that was not used, and a total of more than 2.5 million people were sent to Vietnam, of which more than 540,000 were ground troops, more than 58,000 people were killed, more than 100,000 people were wounded, and a total of 7.6 million tons of ammunition (equivalent to three times that of World War II) were consumed, and nearly $300 billion was spent!

Of course, these numbers are gradually increasing, not a one-time investment, and now Vietnam has landed a part of the Marine Corps, as well as the 1st, 6th, and 9th Infantry Divisions, the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, the 101st Airborne Division and other elite units.

The U.S. government rebuilt the 1st Cavalry Division after it suffered heavy losses in Korea, and it can be seen from the honorary title of the 1st Cavalry Division, "Founding Fathers Division," that the U.S. Government will not let it be wiped out.

So the 1st Cavalry Division came alive again, and this mechanized unit once again stood on Vietnamese soil.

Because the wheels of the American army were basically useless in the dense forest, although the 1st Cavalry Division was rebuilt, it did not see any decent achievements in Vietnam.

In addition, after the fiasco of the first unit in Korea, the US government decided to vigorously train better special forces to participate in the Vietnam War in order to adapt to the jungle combat environment.....

Just wait for these special forces to be fully fledged, and then they can fly to Vietnam and conduct their special operations.

............

The reality is always so cruel, the United States thought that it would be able to advance smoothly by changing the battlefield, but unfortunately they once again chose the field they were not good at, and those small tunnels in the woods that were as dense as spider's webs made the American soldiers cry.

The North Vietnamese soldiers did not clash with the Yankees head-on at all, and always resorted to guerrilla warfare, or they took advantage of the night to sneak attack the US military station, so that the two sides were always in a state of neither being far away nor approaching, and the battle line was repeatedly lengthened and shortened, so that the US military had so many planes and artillery in the air but could not find a place to play.

The U.S. soldiers can only complain in their hearts, but they dare not rush into that small space, the entrance to the tunnel dug out by North Vietnam can often only accommodate one person up and down, the internal environment is extremely complex, and whoever enters the space in the tunnel has a feeling of claustrophobia, this kind of tunnel that is not much thicker than the oil drum is not much simple, once you enter, don't want to stand up straight and can only squat forward, so let alone turn around, after entering the tunnel, you will either keep moving forward to the next exit, or you will be killed in the tunnel when the darkness comes.
