Chapter 16: Infiltrating Donghe City
It is a large mountainous area with undulating peaks and valleys, with many peaks of more than 1,500 meters. It is located on the north side of Highway 9, on the southwest side of the opposite side of Highway 9, and is the famous Xishan base.
From January to April 1968, Wu Yuanjia concentrated the main force of the Anjun Army of three divisions, supported by heavy artillery, mortars and rocket artillery, and suddenly surrounded the Xishan Fortress garrisoned by 1 regiment of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force and a puppet army of country M. After 77 days of fierce fighting, the Angolan army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties, so it had to be broken into pieces and retreat into Lancang, and the Battle of Xishan ended tragically.
Highway No. 9 is an important strategic passage from the Lancang Xialiao area to the central part of Annam, and standing on the Duguo Mountain, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire border area of Highway No. 9 and several counties such as Ganlu. It only takes two or three hours to follow Highway No. 9 to penetrate into Dong Ha City, the capital of Quang Tri Province.
The Governor and the coyote led the group to the darkness and climbed halfway up a mountain closest to the east, where the coyote lifted the plants and entered a cave. The entrance of the cave is very small, after turning a small bend, it suddenly opens up, it is a big cave of 100 square meters inside, the most amazing thing is that a mountain spring is formed into a small stream in the cave, "ding ding and murmuring" through the ground in the cave, and then flows to the cave inside.
The ground in the cave is covered with dry leaves, and in front of the mountain spring, there are many dried branches that have been picked up.
A bonfire was lit, and the smoke went straight to the top of the cave. It turned out that there was a small hole at the top that led to the top of the mountain. And because of the small bend at the entrance of the cave, you can never see the fire inside, and nature is really wonderful.
"God, how did you find this treasure land?" Liu Guodong was full of praise and asked happily.
The governor said excitedly, "Two years ago, when I was on leave, I entered Lancang from Annam to Lancang on a private job, and I was discovered by the Annam military police on the way. I fled into the Faint Fruit Mountain, where I found this treasure cave and hid for three weeks. ”
The coyote said: "This cave, humans can survive here for a long time. You see, this water is mountain spring water, absolutely pure, and can be drunk directly. There is more food in the mountains, and animals and fruits are everywhere. And if you want to go to the toilet, you just need to go to the small hole inside, and after going to the toilet, the water will be flushed clean. ”
The governor picked up a few stones from the cave and set up a simple sand table. Then, he pulled out a bag from the crack in the stone and opened it, revealing a large stack of Annam shields inside. Below is a high-scale map of Quang Tri Province and its surroundings, and a schematic diagram of the plane structure of the military station. He handed the banknotes and drawings to Yu Songyuan, and then explained the structure of the military station to everyone through a simple sand table.
Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao took a closer look, and the structure of the military station was basically the same as the information provided by Liu Guodong's intelligence team. On the map, the specific location of the Xihu Power Plant in Ganlu County and the specific retreat route after the attack are indicated, which is very detailed. As can be seen from this picture, Naga Company and its office staff are extremely professional and good at doing this. Liu Guodong's intelligence team is dwarfed by them.
"According to the plan drawn up by the Naga Company, on the 18th, that is, the night after tomorrow, we will have two trucks from the car gang to return to Guangzhi via Liaobao, and you will enter Guangzhi by truck. A few more days will be used to find out more specific information. Well, you're more professional than us, so we don't need to talk about it. ”
After a pause, the governor said, "On October 22, an armored regiment of the vanguard of the Second Army entered the station, and on the 25th, Lieutenant General Wen Thanh Nhin led the Khmer front and follow-up troops of the 2nd Army into the station. On the night of the 26th, there will be a special person to cut off the power supply line of the West Lake Power Plant in Ganlu County, and the estimated maintenance time is two hours. These two hours are the window of time for your actions. ”
"It's a near-perfect plan!" Everyone is amazed!
"No matter how perfect the plan is, someone has to be able to complete it. After the attack on our army's field hospital and the destruction of the radar station, the chairman of the military commissar said: 'What are our agents doing?' ', let the whole army be ashamed. Some of us were eager to serve the country and formulated a seemingly perfect plan without authorization, but the action failed, and all six members of the action team died! The incompetence of businessmen makes the world laugh! The coyote almost cried as he spoke.
The Governor also said with great sorrow, "They have acted without permission and caused losses, and the Naga team has been strictly investigated, this is a painful lesson!" Secret struggle, every minute is a matter of life and death, how can they act without authorization and blindly?! ”
"Don't be sad, your enthusiasm for serving the country, the motherland will not forget. However, the most important task for the undercover is to keep themselves safe and wait for the call of the Motherland at any time! Liu Guodong comforted.
"Don't worry, ghost hands, we'll all learn our lesson. We are all good at running businesses and engaging in intelligence, but we are all laymen when playing with real knives and guns. There is no comparison with the regular army troops, and there is no comparison with you! ”
Lin Tao said: "Your task is to completely integrate into the local society, and to serve the interests of Naga Company in a silent place, which is a bigger business and a strategic task." It's not your job to charge into battle! This time, we will avenge the sacrifices, and we will make them know that they are in pain! Let Agent Annan understand that since they have opened a window, don't try to close it easily! ”
"The words of the Assassin inspired me greatly. Coyotes, Governor, for the sake of longer-term strategic interests, we must keep you safe! After you assisted us in entering Donghe City, the capital of Quang Tri Province, your mission has been completed. The rest of the matter, you have to stay out of it, and we will do it all. No special circumstances, do not contact us! ”
Yu Songyuan looked at the simple sand table and thought about every detail of the action. After thinking for a moment, he said firmly:
"Whatever the situation, your integration is the first priority. We can't live in your home, can we still find a relatively safe foothold in Donghe City? For example, a house where the owner is not at home, or an abandoned warehouse, school, private house, or something? ”
When the coyote heard this, he hurriedly said, "You are not familiar with the place, so you should do it according to the requirements of the Naga company, live in our house, eat or something, and take care of it." In addition, we are all businessmen with heads and faces in Quang Tri Province, and it is easy to deal with the military and police inspections, so it is relatively safe. ”
"I agree with the ghost. You must not live in your house, the military police and agents of Annam are not vegetarians, and a few young men live in the house, and after a big explosion, they suddenly disappear, and sooner or later they will suspect you. Therefore, it is safest to find an empty yard where no one is at home. Liu Guodong also said.
Seeing their resolute attitude, the coyote had no choice but to say, "The capital of Quang Tri Province is in Donghe City, and there are only tens of thousands of people. Over the years, there have been wars year after year, and when I fought with the people of country M, this was the so-called demilitarized zone, which was actually the worst place to fight, and all the houses were razed to the ground. The current houses were all newly built after the reunification of the north and the south. But after years of fighting, more people died, and more empty houses were found, and it was easy to find. ”
The governor made a mark on the map and said, "This is about three or four kilometers from the military station, and it is a warehouse under the former railway bureau, and next to it is the railway marshalling yard. Because of the rain leakage, it was temporarily abandoned, and there was no money to repair it because of the war. It is very secluded and can be used as a vehicle warehouse, but there are no living facilities. ”
"Where do we live, do we live in a warehouse?!"
"Nope. Two kilometers behind this warehouse, there is a family, the house is very high-class. The eldest son was the regimental commander, the colonel, and was my friend. He was transferred to Anpei City with the army, and his daughter-in-law and two children also followed. The youngest son was killed in the battle with us in the Khmer war, and the daughter-in-law and her five or six-year-old daughter have been living in her mother's house in Hue City. These two places, one to store gear and one to live in, are safe! ”
"Where's the old man?"
"The old man blew up the people of country M a few years ago, and the old lady also died of red fever in the year of reunification."
The Governor added, "We know both of the daughters-in-law of the family. After the colonel was transferred to Ampeo, the house was never sold. Usually, it is a son of his wife's sister's family, and he occasionally goes over to take care of it. This son is a military worker at the food supply station of the military station, and if he goes, he can be killed, and he should not attract attention for a few days. ”
"That's it, we'll live in this house."
Yu Songyuan discussed it with everyone and made up his mind.
At about seven o'clock the next night, the coyote and the others sneaked down the mountain and came to a small forest on the side of Highway 9. Lifting the branches, there is a passenger and cargo vehicle hidden underneath. The coyote replaced a military license plate, and Yu Songyuan and the others put their backpacks into the cab.
The Governor waited by the roadside, and looked at his watch from time to time. Sure enough, after a while, two large trucks drove from the direction of Liaobao, one of which was a container truck, and they both entered the open space in front of the grove. The Governor opened the door of a container truck and loaded glutinous rice, rice, vegetables, meat, glutinous rice wine and other food into the wagon.
The coyote took out a large bag from the cab of another car, took out a few sets of clothing, military boots and a few documents from it and distributed them to everyone, and everyone quickly changed into military uniforms.
He took out another notebook and handed it to Yu Songyuan, "Ghost, your documents, the seals on them are all real guys, and the positions are all in-service senior agents of the 710 Khmer Special Service Brigade. In this book, it's all about the 710 Brigade, and you can destroy it after you get acquainted with it as soon as possible. ”
The Governor added, "This Nguyen Nguyen, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 710 Brigade, who has distinguished himself in the Khmer battlefield and is a legendary hero of the An Army, became a lieutenant colonel before he was thirty years old." At present, he has led a team to return from the Khmer, and he has been ordered to be transferred from Quang Tri to the northern border to participate in the border war. This person's home is in Ganlu County, and the details are available in the information. ”
Yu Songyuan put away the notebook, and together with Lin Tao and the others, he held the hands of the governor and the coyote tightly. After bidding farewell to the governor and the coyote, Liu Guodong drove the car along Highway 9 and drove quickly towards Donghe City.
