To get to the G-32 area, it's easier to take a river speedboat from the 5th Division's detective team.

However, the "Southern Liberation Army" is well aware of this, and they will set up secret posts in the jungle on both sides of the river, and whenever they hear the noise of the speedboat engines, they will fire warning guns or signal flares into the night sky. If there are not many troops, they will immediately organize forces to ambush; In the event of a large force, they will organize an evacuation in time.

Because of this, the squad could only search and advance from the inaccessible tropical jungle.

There are eleven people in the group, nine of whom are from the special forces directly subordinate to the Jinou Peninsula Border Garrison Command, and the other two are from the Fifth Division Detective Smuggling Team and the No. 5 Resettlement Village Militia Self-Defense Force, which is equivalent to a squad.

The person who serves as a top soldier has a great responsibility, and only the best people can be competent, and Ding Zhenglang, a special forces instructor, is such a person.

He walked cautiously at the front, keeping his line of sight from his comrades behind him, and was responsible for not only reporting the enemy's activities to the detachment leader, but also checking the road for traps, mines, and any suspicious signs.

Xu Longqiang, a scout of the militia Self-Defense Force, was closely behind, and in the years before the large-scale infiltration of North Vietnam into the south, he had been to the area more than once, and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain and landforms, and with him as a guide, he could ensure that the team would not get lost.

The others marched in the prescribed order, including Lieutenant Xiong Shangwu, the commander of the detachment, Fang Jin, the radio communication soldier, Chen Biao, the machine gunner, and Yu Wenhao, the rifleman who could take over the top soldiers at any time, and then the grenadiers, the second machine gunner, the riflemen with more ammunition, the deputy detachment leader, the wireless communication unit of the Fifth Infantry Division's detective team, the third machine gunner, the second grenadier, the medic, the sniper, and the rear guard.

The machine gunner was in a position to protect the signal corps, and there was a long line between him and the detachment leader and deputy detachment leader. A line of columns silently marched through the dark woods.

In the case of the same number of people. The firepower of the commando is stronger than that of ordinary combat units. But how much firepower can be exerted. Still constrained by the amount of ammunition they are able to carry. In order to bring more ammunition, each person brought only a jug of water, a pack of compressed biscuits, and a first aid kit.

Although they are called special forces, the weapons are not as advanced as they could be.

The Thomson submachine gun, the M1 carbine, the M1 Garand rifle, the M7940 mm caliber grenade launcher, the 12 caliber shotgun and the three M60 light machine guns were almost all produced during World War II, but they were relatively well maintained, especially the Garand sniper rifle equipped with an optical scope, which was very accurate.

After moving forward for about 300 meters, Ding Zhenglang made a gesture, and the team immediately changed to march 36 degrees to the northwest. This section went about 130 meters and turned again.

This zigzag march can make it difficult for the opposing scouts to determine the direction of the detachment in the event of an ambush by the enemy.

However, their luck was not as good as they could have tonight.

After more than an hour of trekking through mountains and rivers through a dense forest, and arriving at the G-32 area, which was still about 10 kilometers away, he was surprised to find that he had broken into a "Southern Liberation" camp consisting of several bunkers and a wooden tower, which was not mentioned in intelligence and did not exist on the map.

As soon as Ding Zhenglang squatted down and raised his fist, he found a group of enemies in ambush in the woods waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, that is, a relatively open space in front of them.

It didn't occur to him to hide himself. I didn't even think about turning around and running away. This is because it is time-consuming and puts the entire squad in danger, forcing the enemy to open fire in advance.

He did not hesitate to shoot on his knees. Da Da Da, a tongue of fire swept towards several figures about twenty meters in front of him. It not only gave a warning, but also caught the opponent off guard, and attracted the enemy's firepower.

"There's an ambush!"

Xiong Shangwu let out a low roar, and the team members who heard the gunfire immediately fanned out and opened fire on the exposed enemy at the same time. Machine guns, carbines, submachine guns, grenade launchers, in the shortest possible time, poured ammunition into the enemy's positions, and for a time the guns were loud and bullets flew everywhere.

Zeng Zili, the deputy leader of the detachment, pounced on the side of a big tree, raised his gun and fired, and ordered: "Communication troops, report to the command headquarters, your whereabouts are exposed, and prepare to evacuate." ”

"Yes!"

After firing the last bullet in the magazine, the messenger lay on the ground and immediately called out.

At the same time, the commander of the detachment, Lieutenant Xiong Shangwu, had roughly judged from the sound of gunfire that the enemy did not exceed 30 people, and the firepower was not very strong, and there were not even machine guns.

Although the operation is exposed, you can't just go back like this. He quickly observed the terrain and gestured to the brothers on the left and right, and Chen Biao and Yu Wenhao immediately took their respective attack groups and outflanked them from both sides.

Ding Zhenglang, who led the discovery of the enemy and took the lead in exchanging fire with the enemy, was wounded.

One bullet entered his neck and went down into his abdomen, and another bullet hit the submachine gun in his hand, sending fragments flying in his face. With the fatal wounds on his body, he endured severe pain and managed to crawl back to the medics when his comrades fired fiercely at the "Southern Liberation Army".

Ignoring the rain of bullets, Shen Yan began to bandage him, but to no avail, he stopped breathing after crawling back to his comrades for less than a minute.

"Captain, Lao Ding is dead!"

Shen Yan was so angry that he ignored the order not to use grenades as much as possible in the dense forest, picked one off, pulled out the clip, and threw it at the stubborn enemy.

The sky has eyes, and the grenade was not bounced back by the branches, but it did not blow up the enemy either.

Taking advantage of the moment when the grenade exploded and the other party fell into chaos, the two fireteams that were outflanked rushed to the attack position, and the two shotguns fired at the same time, and the projectiles rained down.

When Sun Jiang, a communications soldier of the Fifth Division's detective team, was lying down, he felt a warm liquid flowing down his head and into his eyes, thinking that his injuries must be very serious, because he was knocked down by bullets, and he heard that the characteristic of a bullet in the head was that he could not feel pain.

In fact, he was so lucky that he was hit, and it didn't hurt, but the enemy bullet hit the gall-shaped military kettle he had strapped to the radiograph. Although the radiophone and kettle were out of service, he himself was unscathed.

With the success of the two firepower groups that were outflanked, the ambush of the "Southern Liberation Army" was completely dismantled.

A few guys who were shot lay on the ground and wailed, and the two enemies who were not shot threw down their guns and wanted to run.

One dead and one wounded, the detachment had never suffered such a large loss since its establishment.

Xiong Shangwu looked back and ordered with an expressionless face: "Chen Biao, clean up the battlefield and take care of the prisoners." Zili, you and Shen Yan stay to take care of the wounded, and the others follow me! ”

"Yes!"

The team members still fanned out of the woods, regardless of whether there were living people in the "Southern Liberation" camp, there was a burst of strafing at the towers and those stilt buildings, and no one inside fought back did not mean that it was safe, everyone followed the battle formation, one covered and one approached the target, threw a few grenades inside, and heard a few screams, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was absolutely safe.

The communications corps reported to the headquarters, the medical corps took care of the wounded, the Chen Biao fire team took care of the prisoners, the Yu Wenhao attack group took people to the surrounding area to guard, and the two commanders, Xiong Shangwu and Zeng Zili, took people to inspect one barracks after another to ensure that no fish slipped through the net and seized the time to collect intelligence.

More people were killed and wounded in barracks by grenades than in ambushes outside.

Zeng Zili flipped through several seized documents with a flashlight, and said to himself: "Why did they set up the hospital here? ”

"It is estimated that Wu Tingyan is engaged in a strategic village, and Xining can't stay any longer, so he can only retreat here. After all, it is impossible for the national army in the third tactical zone to catch up with Cambodia. ”

"What now?"

"There was such a big movement just now, even if there was a KPA stationed in the G-32 area, it would definitely be alarmed at this time. Obey orders and retreat after cleaning up the battlefield. ”

Zeng Zili pointed at the arm of the wounded who were holding the "Southern Liberation Army": "I mean them." ”

At least 4 kilometers away from the nearest contact point, a brother was injured, and he wanted to bring Lao Ding's body back, and more importantly, no one knew whether the "Southern Liberation" would organize forces to pursue, Xiong Shangwu really didn't care about these "Southern Liberation" wounded and prisoners, and said coldly: "Send them on the road, you should avenge Lao Ding." ”

War is cruel, and mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Zeng Zili nodded slightly, and walked out without saying a word with a gun.

………

At the headquarters of the Fifth Division, Lu Yudong took the latest battle report received from the telecommunications office and solemnly reported: "The whereabouts of the squad have been exposed, and they have just finished sweeping the battlefield and evacuated to the No. 2 receiving point. Although the operation failed, the detachment was ambushed and destroyed a field hospital in the G-45 area.

He killed 37 'SLA' guerrillas and more than 60 wounded by the 'SLA' guerrillas and the North Vietnamese People's Army.

Judging by the telegrams sent back, the annihilated enemy should have been local troops, and it should have been hastily responded to the battle. I don't know how many people there are in our army, and it is too late to organize the evacuation of the wounded, so we can only stubbornly block the attack, the equipment is poor, the firepower is weak, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the will to fight is not very resolute. ”

No matter how strong the team is, there are only eleven people, and they have achieved such a big result with their intentions and unintentionalities.

Wang Jingui pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, we must take this as a warning, in the future, the secret posts of the resettlement villages must be placed farther away, and the patrol range of the detective team must be expanded to three to five kilometers outside the defense area, only in this way can we effectively prevent sneak attacks and win enough time for the villages to prepare." ”

Zhong Lianbo looked at the map and added: "The best defense is to attack, and raids like tonight can't be stopped, organize a few more squads, and other units work closely together, randomly select targets, hit and run, and let them also taste the taste of guerrilla warfare." (To be continued.) )
