The sacrifice of his fellow countryman Zhao Dahu has always been worse and worse Zhao Lei, this time he should have been rotated to the rear, maybe he was far away from the dangerous front line, but he repeatedly asked for war and insisted on staying in the front-line troops.

Considering that the newly rotated troops also need a process of adaptation, and Zhao Lei, Wang Guoqing, and other veteran scouts have a relatively in-depth understanding of the terrain here, the regiment headquarters specially approved the rotation of these veteran scouts who have had many contacts with the Vietnamese army, so Zhao Lei's reconnaissance platoon has the opportunity to go deep behind enemy lines and serve as the vanguard of the large army.

It has been several hours since they entered the area under the jurisdiction of the Vietnamese army, and Zhao Lei and his team skillfully avoided the sections on both sides of the highway where the Vietnamese army had set up key ambushes along the way, and successfully found a passage in this dense forest and swamp.

Wang Guoqing's reconnaissance squad was also assigned to Zhao Lei's reconnaissance platoon after that battle, and he and Zhao Lei belonged to the same people who couldn't be idle.

The outline of a village loomed not far ahead, and Ah Luo and a soldier took the lead in touching it, only to find that the village had long been abandoned, many houses were empty shelves, some walls still had traces of being burned by fire, and the dilapidated courtyard was overgrown with wild grass.

These dilapidated villages have been encountered many times along the way, some of which were abandoned during the Sino-Vietnamese War, and some of which date back some time and are left behind during the Sino-Vietnamese War

Ah Luo made a gesture to Wang Guoqing behind him, and the others gradually gathered around.

The smoothness of the road made Wang Guoqing feel that it was not normal, which formed a great contrast with the resistance encountered by the previous march of the large army, but when he thought that the rapid attack of our troops on the Vietnamese army in the previous stage was a fatal blow, Wang Guoqing also felt that it was understandable, and the previous resistance may have been a helpless move to allow their troops to shrink quickly.

But even so, Wang Guoqing was extra careful, while signaling the team members around him not to get out of each other's sight, while carefully searching and moving forward, and keeping in touch with Zhao Lei, who was dragging behind, at any time.

Zhao Lei is in the second echelon with most of the members of the reconnaissance platoon, and has always maintained a distance of nearly 50 meters or so from Wang Guoqing in front, in order to quickly rescue in the event of an accident.

It was already the second half of the night, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the team members could only see the closest comrade next to them, Zhao Lei decided to temporarily put the team members away to avoid everyone getting lost in the fog.

They have passed through most of the area of this unknown area, and are about to enter the boundary of Hump Ridge, Zhao Lei picked up the earpiece and wanted to remind Wang Guoqing in front of him, and asked him to tell the team members not to get lost in the fog and get as close as possible.

But before he could give an order, Wang Guoqing's voice suddenly came from the earpiece.

"A team member has lost contact! Our department is searching and troubleshooting. ”

"What's the situation? and quickly find out! ”

Before Zhao Lei's words landed, Wang Guoqing's call came from the earpiece again.

"There is an ambush! Evacuate! ”

As soon as Wang Guoqing's words fell, gunshots rang out in front of him, mixed with the shouts of the Vietnamese army.

It's late, it's too late, Zhao Lei and the others have gone deep into this area, and they have completely fallen into the trap designed by Ruan Wenxiong in advance.

As Nguyen Van Hung himself put it, he would not hit the stones with eggs, and the rapid loss of the high ground 303 and 317 was a sign of his cunning, and his quick abandonment made the attacking Chinese army think that Nguyen Van Hung's troops had been scattered and vulnerable.

Nguyen Van Hung's purpose is clear, he is unwilling to resist the main force of the other side, he can't resist, but he can concentrate his relative superiority to attack those small forces that are easy to advance and the reconnaissance troops lurking in, which can not only delay the opponent's attack, but also avenge the previous fiasco.

And this is a trap he has carefully designed, and there is only one purpose, that is, to capture the other party's scouts alive as much as possible, so that he can not only torture some valuable information, prepare for his next move, but also avenge those dead brothers.

This seemingly abandoned village for a long time actually has a great origin, as early as during the guerrilla war in Vietnam, it was a base in North Vietnam, the underground of the village is full of large and small secret passages and hiding places, similar to the Ranzhuang tunnel left in the central Hebei region of China during the anti-Japanese period, when Nguyen Van Hung and the commander of the spy company Pham planned to find a suitable place for ambush, the commander of the spy company first thought of this.

Soon after Zhao Lei's reconnaissance team left the station, the agents sent by Ruan Wenxiong and Fan Jinchang discovered the traces of the reconnaissance team, and the agents quickly passed the information back.

After receiving the news from the front, Nguyen Van Hung ordered the guard teams stationed in various important places not to startle the snakes, and while holding their own defense areas, they should not stop the Chinese troops who had entered the ambush area, and the purpose of strengthening the blockade was to drive these people to the places where he had set up an ambush in advance, and Nguyen Van Hung wanted to let this squad go as deep into the hinterland of his defense area as possible, so that once the fire broke out, he could ensure that these scouts would not be allowed to get out quickly. This is the 'finger severing operation' conspired by Nguyen Van Hung and Pham Kam Chang.

After Fan Jinchang received the information transmitted back by the spy company, he quickly judged that the main task of this lurking team was to go to the Hump Ridge area to carry out reconnaissance, and he immediately set up an ambush plan with Nguyen Van Hung.

Don't look at Fan Jinchang's spy company's offensive and defensive combat ability to fight positions, but this kind of unconventional means of lurking, sneak attack, and secretly arranging traps to arrest is easy to use, and these people under his command are like rats in the dark, quietly squatting in a long time abandoned, but they have re-repaired and used the secret passages, peeking out of the secret room, watching intently as Wang Guoqing's vanguard group was introduced into their ambush circle step by step.
