At 0:30 a.m., the first batch of personnel were woken up one after another, washed their faces, ate, took roll calls, checked weapons and ammunition, and made final preparations before the launch.

Special forces have undergone "devilish" training, and emergency gatherings in the middle of the night are commonplace. The 5th Infantry Division's defense area was surrounded by the enemy, and the detective team that was used as a sharp knife had the most experience in actual combat, and the 32 officers and men involved in the operation were the backbone of the whole brigade, and there was hardly any sound from getting up to washing and then assembling.

The "Khmer Rouge" guerrillas have always been surrounded and suppressed by the Cambodian government army, and their living environment is harsh, and it is common for them to be transferred in the middle of the night; although they have not undergone formal training, and there are even fifteen or sixteen-year-old and half-old children in the ranks, they have behaved remarkably, and the entire Satun camp is in an orderly manner, without even a trace of chaos, only the tense atmosphere before the war.

According to the operational plan, the participating units set up a total of three command headquarters.

Le Quang Shin, chief of intelligence of the 4th Tactical Region, led the "Freedom Khmer" to set up a headquarters 15 kilometers deep into Vietnam, occupy favorable terrain and build sniper positions, and at the same time intercept the pursuing troops and cover the withdrawal.

For fear that he, a "foreign monk", would not be able to command the scattered guerrillas, Yang Shizu personally accompanied him.

In order to ensure the success of the operation, as soon as special operations commander Li Yongliang received information from Gui Qingshan, he communicated with the 5th Infantry Division, and used Su Youcai's channel to send more than 400 tons of weapons, ammunition, helicopter fuel, and other war materials to the Satun camp in just three days.

The "Khmer Rouge" followed.

More than 300 guerrillas were all redressed, and all the previous French, British, and Japanese weapons were replaced by American-made weapons, and not only light and heavy machine guns were used. And there were 12 mortars.

On the shoulder was an M1 carbine or Thomson submachine gun. There were several melon grenades hanging from his chest. Wearing a steel helmet on his head, and even the canned food he had just eaten was made in Boliao Industrial Village, the morale of the brothers was high, and Yang Shizu was full of emotion, and he was really a little envious of the wealthy Vietnamese Chinese compatriots.

"Director Shen, it's almost time."

The lone army is deep, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the balance of power is huge. This operation is tantamount to "pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth".

As soon as the hornet's nest is stabbed, North Vietnam will definitely go crazy, not only the first and second contact points are not safe, but even the Satun camp under their feet is not safe.

Li Guangshen looked around, clasped Li Yongliang's hand and said, "General Liang, the battle situation is ever-changing, and you must also be ready to evacuate at any time." ”

"Mr. Min, Mr. Guo, Commander Ren, and Chief of Staff Wei are waiting for news, I brought you, and I must bring you all back."

is really desperate, Li Yongliang is under a lot of pressure. He shook his hand again, turned around and smiled easily, "Mr. Yang." Sorry for your help, after the operation, please be sure to visit Can Tho. ”

Whether it is supporting the Wang Bao armed forces in Laos or supporting the "Khmer Rouge", it is a secret operation of the CIA. Don't look at the fact that they are now providing weapons and equipment, and they are sending military advisers, and once the political wind changes, they will stop military assistance and push everything to the bottom of everything.

After all, the "Khmer Rouge" is a rebel after all, and the Phnom Penh regime is the legitimate government.

In contrast, the "industrial investment system" is much more reliable.

There are several hundred kilometers of border in the Lower Six Provinces, and there are more than 100,000 Chinese living in the Parrot Point area, and they have to provide help to the "Freedom Khmer" whether it is to prevent North Vietnamese infiltration or to ensure the safety of the Chinese in the Parrot Point area.

Regardless of the success or failure of this operation, they owe a "big favor".

Yang Shizu not only wanted to go to Can Tho to meet the generals of the Fourth Tactical Zone, but also planned to go to Phu Quoc Island to seek further support from Li Weimin, a native of Chaozhou, and said with a smile: "Go, definitely go." ”

"Let's go, and I wish you all a smooth journey."

When the North Vietnamese People's Army (KPA) and the SLA guerrillas were being chased and beaten by the Vietnamese National Army, they often ran into Cambodia. The same was true of the "Khmer Rouge" guerrillas, who crossed the barely defended Vietnamese-Cambodian border and ran towards Vietnam as soon as they were cleared by government forces.

The terrain is familiar, and it only goes 15 kilometers deep, so you don't even need a guide.

With Le Quang Shin's order, more than 300 guerrillas disappeared into the dark tropical jungle one after another in two columns, carrying light and heavy weapons, or pushing modified bicycles like Yue G.

The 2nd Special Forces Brigade has the most difficult task and must conserve as much physical strength as possible.

More than 220 people, including the 5th Infantry Division's detective team, took 28 rubber boats, dressed in jungle camouflage uniforms, their faces were blackened, and in the dull sound of gasoline engines, they set off from the small river next to the camp and entered the main stream of the Saigon River, and then went downstream.

"Counselor Wang, what kind of gun are they?"

Hao Yong, the machine gunner of the detective team, had participated in two special forces selections, and was brushed off both times, and was very unconvinced by the well-equipped and high-spirited special forces, so he asked enviously holding on to the rope on the side of the boat.

Wang Xinjun, the former deputy captain of the detective team and the current combat staff officer of the division headquarters, closed his eyes while holding the submachine gun, and introduced it in a few treasures: "AR-15, the most advanced automatic rifle in the United States, fully automatic shooting, equipped with an aluminum magazine that can load 20 rounds, a rate of fire of 700 to 800 rounds per minute, light weight, and less than 12 pounds of bullets. Theyrs seem to have been modified, the muzzle is shorter than the one I saw during training, and the butt has been changed to a foldable one, which should be lighter. ”

Hao Yong subconsciously looked at the M14 used by his comrades-in-arms, and couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you equip us, are we raised by our stepmother." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, bullets are not universal, people are small calibers. And that gun only came out last year, it was not mass-produced, and the US military did not have any equipment, they bought it from the arms market. ”

The squad leader couldn't help but laugh and said: "People are more popular than people, you envy the special forces, and others envy us." ”

The main force of the 5th Infantry Division uses all World War II goods, and the M14 is only equipped with a detective team, although it seems to be relatively stupid and carries a limited amount of ammunition, but it is powerful, high-precision, and long-range, for the detective team that only wanders around the perimeter of the defense area. It can definitely be called a good rifle.

Rumor has it that the 5th Infantry Division may be reorganized. These brothers around me will have to go their separate ways in the future. As a soldier for so many years. After so many years of fighting, without any skills, do you all go to the resettlement village to farm?

Thinking that they would either go to work as a police officer in the future, or join the security team of the industrial village, or stay in the Parrot Point area to continue to deal with Yue G, Wang Xinjun decided to open their eyes and learn more.

So he opened his eyes, pointed to the vague figure on the rubber boat in front of him and said, "They are wearing tactical vests outside." Specially designed by Phu Quoc University of Technology, which pocket is the magazine, where to hang the grenade, the same weight of dozens of kilograms, wearing a tactical vest will not be so difficult.

The tactical vest is covered with body armor, to be exact, an anti-fragment vest. The pistol uses a dot 38 revolver, has a silencer, is waterproof, and does not make much movement against the dark whistle and dogs.

The M60 machine gun they used was also modified with a short barrel. Without a bipod and a crosshair, the tail of the barrel was drilled. The flame suppressor was reinstalled, the rear sight was not there, and even the butt was replaced with a handle. Not only is it lighter than ours, only 25 pounds, but it is also shorter than what we use. ”

In the 5th Infantry Division, whoever did this would have damaged his weapons.

Hao Yong was completely convinced, and after thinking about it, he asked, "What is that big man carrying, it doesn't look like a radio station." ”

"Night vision devices, high-tech, you can see the enemy at night, but the enemy can't see him. However, it is said that the thing is not very reliable, and it often has problems, and it is an experimental equipment. And it consumes a lot of electricity, and the big man is carrying a battery, which seems to only last for an hour or two. ”

A soldier who had just been transferred from the militia self-defense force to the detective team not long ago was not interested in the weapons and equipment of the special forces, but cautiously asked: "Staff Officer Wang, the commander knows that Yue G's nest is here, and our captured brother is also being held here, why don't you send more people?" ”

A recruit is a recruit, no matter how good the military quality is and how brave the fight is.

Without waiting for Wang Xinjun to speak, Hao Yong said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Not only the commander and minister know, but those high-ranking officials in Saigon probably also know, but what can they do?" People have legs, they can run, and there are a lot of spies in and around the national army, and when you move, they can get the news, so saying that there are many people does not necessarily work. ”

"yes."

Wang Xinjun nodded slightly, and added in a low voice: "It is more than 100 kilometers from Xining to here, and the terrain is so complicated that the divisions in the third tactical area can't take them at all. We are different, we are taking a detour to Cambodia to copy their back road.

But you have some truth in saying that this time the number of troops is indeed a little small. But there are difficulties above, one is to prevent the grass from startling the snake, and not to send too many people. Second, we must be careful about international influence, in any case, Cambodia is also a sovereign country, and you cannot send troops into the territory of other countries in a big way. ”

"That's aggression."

"What's the invasion, in my opinion, they are wearing a pair of pants with Yue G."

was chatting hotly, and a red flashlight was sent in front of him to signal to increase vigilance and slow down.

Having penetrated into the stomach of Yue G, there may be enemies around him at any time, and no one dares to slack off, one by one, he raised his gun, and he was ready to deal with a possible ambush.

The rubber boat of the 6th detachment of the 2nd Special Forces Brigade sailed at the front, about 700 meters away from the main unit, and the leader of the detachment was covered with an oilcloth, reconfirmed the position with a flashlight, and immediately made a gesture.

The engine was turned off, the two riflemen put down their weapons, changed into small oars, and slowly rowed to the right front, while the other team members were on standby, vigilantly observing the riverbank, and after about five or six minutes of rowing, there were a few bird calls on the bank, three long and one short, which seemed particularly clear under the quiet night sky.

Detachment Commander Zhong Guoxing immediately responded in accordance with the joint code specified in the battle plan, and after a while, a figure appeared on the bank of the river, waving vigorously to the boat.

Detachment 6 has one more person than the other detachments, Kuai Tailong only joined yesterday afternoon, with the rank of lieutenant, and is said to be from the Intelligence Department of the 4th Theater of Operations. In fact, he was not an active military officer, not even a soldier, but a member of the intelligence department of the "Vietnamese Chinese Literature and Art Research Association".

He glanced at the captain of the detachment, turned over and got off the boat with his rifle, and waded ashore step by step, the team members were extremely nervous, for fear that this was a trap.

"Deserted City Lingudu!"

Without thinking, the people on the shore replied: "The sunset is full of autumn mountains!" ”

Although he couldn't be more familiar with the familiar one in front of him, Kuai Tailong still asked in a low voice in Hakka: "The peak changes in the field." ”

"It's cloudy and sunny."

The people on the shore pulled him ashore and asked excitedly, "Mr. Kuai, why are you here in person?" ”

Fang Lexian, like a fake Hakka person, the first phase of the special training class in Bo Liao, in 1956 under the pseudonym Nguyen Van Le entered the Viet Minh, in order to gain a firm foothold in the enemy, and then was entrusted with an important task by the Vietnamese G, Kuai Tai Long betrayed the national army more than once under the instruction of Gui Thanh Son.

As it turned out, the previous efforts were not in vain.

He went from being an ordinary guerrilla in the Cu Chi area to "growing" step by step into a battalion-level cadre of the Southern Liberation Army, and in March last year, he was even transferred to the Southern Command to assist a head of the Southern Bureau in taking charge of logistics work.

"You have persevered in such a dangerous environment for so many years, why can't I take a risk."

Kuai Tailong patted him on the arm, and while motioning for the detachment to go ashore, he asked in a low voice: "Come out in the middle of the night, no one suspects it, right?" ”

Fang Le took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "No one paid attention when they came out, but it will be difficult to say in a few hours." The CIA made such a big move and arrested so many people, and the entire underground organization suffered serious losses. ”

"Then we should act quickly, you lead the way in front, and by the way, give the Zhong team a briefing."

"Yes."

The eyes of the special forces are above the top, but Zhong Guoxing admires people like Fang Lexian who are lurking inside Yue G, seeing that he has no weapons with his hands, he pulled out a pistol and stuffed it into his hand, and said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, fortunately, go home with us after the operation is over." ”

For going home, Fang Lexian was in a complicated mood to the extreme.

It stands to reason that his identity is exposed, and he can no longer continue to carry out the hidden mission, but in order to win the trust of the organization, he has already started a family in the liberated area. The wife is a member of the Workers' Party and a woman cadre, and her son is 5 years old this year.

He didn't say a word, of course Kuai Tailong knew what he was worried about, and smiled casually: "Ah Xian, don't worry about your family's affairs, Mr. Gui has already thought about it." If nothing else, Xining's colleagues have already taken them to the 5th Division's defense area. In the name of arrest, of course. ”

"Really?" Fang Lexian was ecstatic.

"Did I joke with you, their safety can be guaranteed, but you still have to do the ideological work. With such a big bend, it is really not so easy for ordinary people to turn around. ”

The 6th detachment did not rush to the road, but arranged a defensive line to cover the other detachments behind and the 5th Division detective team to go ashore, until all the rubber boats were fully hidden, leaving two people to pick up the "Free Khmer" fishing boat transporting ammunition, and then set off again under the leadership of Fang Lexian.
