Chapter 116: The Solid Wall is clear

We call this operation "Clearing the Wilderness", but there is no need to say what that means.

But it doesn't matter what it means, what matters is what kind of action we take.

The village remained locked down, partly to prevent Vietnamese agents hiding in the jungle from getting food supplies, and partly to prevent Vietnamese agents from starving down the mountain in search of food.

For the jungle outside the village...... Just like we did with the villages in the past, we did a similar sharding of the jungle.

Our company was assigned the task of conducting a search along the direction of Nadin, Luke, and Langle. In three directions, each of our three platoons was advancing along a route not far from each other, searching and advancing on the rugged and winding mountain road, and the company headquarters followed behind to keep in touch with us and other companies in due course.

The second row naturally lined up in the direction of Luke in order.

My arrangement was to put two shifts on the left side of the mountain road, three shifts on the right, and I took the first shift along the mountain road. The parts are separated from each other within the visual range and are connected by walkie-talkies.

There are two purposes for this, one is to disperse the troops so that the Vietnamese army is not easy to set up an ambush, just imagine if we pile all the soldiers in the middle and advance along the mountain road, then the Yue devils only need a dozen people to ambush on the side of the road and then cut off the head and cut off the middle...... Under the fire of automatic rifles, we were completely annihilated in less than ten minutes.

However, by advancing in three parts, the Vietnamese army would not be able to effectively ambush them. At the very least, if they want to ambush us, they will need twice as many people as us to form a larger encirclement.

Another reason. It's because the purpose of our march is to search.

What to search for?

The search was for Vietnamese agents hiding in the jungle. Since it is a search for Vietnamese agents, it is impossible to search only on mountain roads, right? And that's just the first step.

Weishenme: The only way to put a class in the middle and go along the mountain road?

The reason is simple. Chen Yiyi and the scholar both fought on the battlefield, and they all knew what to do in case of any emergency, but Wu Zhijun was obviously much worse at this point.

The task of advancing along the mountain road was obviously relatively easy, and in order not to pull the teams on both sides behind, I even arranged for two fighters to use mine detectors in front of me to detect mines and move forward......

"Platoon commander!" Seeing that I arranged Wu Zhijun like this, he had some opinions, and he hesitated and said, "We ...... Isn't it a little slower to go this way? When will this get to Luke Village? ”

I raised my binoculars and looked left and right, and casually asked, "Are you searching?" Or go to Luke Village? ”

As soon as I said this, Wu Zhijun was speechless.

At this time, the soldier who was suddenly walking in front of him with a mine detector suddenly stopped, and then turned around and said with a different face: "Platoon...... Platoon leader. There are mines! ”

"Stand back!" That's the first order I ordered, and then I shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Second shift, third shift, report the situation!" ”

"Everything works!"

"Everything works!" Chen Yiyi replied: "However, the traces of the enemy lurking were found, and the time was about ten minutes, and there were seven people......

"Hmm!" I ordered: "Go ahead and be vigilant!" ”

At this time, I had to admire Chen Yiyi's skills, even she could judge that the enemy had just been gone for ten minutes.

"Platoon commander, what should I do?" Wu Zhijun then asked, "We didn't bring sappers...... No demining! ”

I glanced at Wu Zhijun and casually lit a grenade and threw it at the location where the mine was found...... Boom, as we got up from the ground. That mine is no longer a problem.

"Keep going!"

I can't believe that Wu Zhijun was a company commander in the original army, maybe. They haven't come out of the peaceful shijie yet, or maybe that's the difference between soldiers who have fought and those who haven't, in short, they don't know how to solve problems in a simple, direct way.

But it's not just the mine that worries me. Because I know very well that landmines can be left alone after they are planted.

But...... The more devils weishenme still lurk on the side of the road? And there are as many as seven of them...... It should be said that there are not only seven people, I think there is also lurking in the direction of the reader, but the reader has not found it.

So...... There were also people lurking on the left, there were people lurking on the right, plus there was a mine in the middle of the mountain road...... What does this mean?

Needless to say, I also know that this was originally an ambush circle, and the Yue Devils originally had a force of more than ten people lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain road, just waiting for us to step on the mine and attack on both sides......

Some people may say that there are only more than ten people in the Yue devils, how dare they ambush a platoon of our army?

The battlefield is not a simple addition and subtraction operation, the battlefield is more about tactics and firepower configuration, especially in this era of various automatic rifles...... On this battlefield, a company of the People's Liberation Army suffered heavy casualties under the automatic rifles of five Vietnamese militiamen because of a blind charge.

Therefore, as long as the Vietnamese army cooperates well with each other on both sides, the timing is well controlled...... With a dozen people, it is completely possible to win this battle with an asymmetrical proportion of casualties.

What about their weishenme retreat? Because they found that we were divided into three paths...... As a result, their ambush was instantly ineffective.

Will they just give up? I believe not.

What is the reason?

It's a feeling, I feel that the Vietnamese army didn't take our unit seriously, they thought we were walking in a column along the mountain road, and set up an ambush for it...... That's the evidence that they underestimate us.

What will they do?

Gather more people? This situation seems impossible, and more people mean more food to consume, which is a bit unimaginable for them who are short of food. Moreover, it is very likely that the target will be exposed because it is too large, which is contrary to the purpose of guerrilla warfare.

So...... They may target the left or right flank of our army with another ambush, and although they cannot annihilate us completely, they can quickly retreat after a small victory......

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered on the walkie-talkie: "The first shift runs forward, and the second and third shifts follow!" All units are ready for battle! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

The atmosphere tense the moment I gave the order.

Wu Zhijun may not understand it at all, but just now I rejected his suggestion to speed up, and now I immediately ordered the troops to speed up and prepare for battle...... But at this time, I didn't rush to explain anything to him, of course, I didn't need to explain, what he needed more was to see and learn.

Weishenme to speed up? If the Yue devils are setting up an ambush position not far ahead, and they have miscalculated the speed of our army's march, what will happen after the speed is accelerated?

That's right, to catch them off guard before they were set up.

So being prepared and not being prepared are just relative, the more devils think they are a praying mantis that is only catching cicadas, who would have thought that the praying mantis would be transformed...... Immediately became a yellow finch.

Sure enough, just when we had only turned two corners and turned a mountain pass, we saw a group of Vietnamese troops hurriedly crossing the mountain road from right to left in front of us......

However, at this time, where would I give them a chance, I only shouted: "Fight!" ”

The soldiers had already prepared under my order, and when they received my order, they dared to slack off, and several submachine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets rained down on the Vietnamese troops...... The devils were almost lined up in front of us without cover, and the distance between them was only a dozen meters, so they lay crookedly on the ground after only a round of bullet rain.

My attention was not on the part of the Vietnamese army in front of me, because I knew that they were only a part of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time I believed that these soldiers under my command could deal with them.

I leaned on a rock, raised my rifle, and looked through my sniper scope into the jungle on my left...... It is clear that the movement of these Vietnamese troops from right to left means that their allies are on the left.

There were no people in sight, the light in the jungle was much darker than outside, and there were trees everywhere, which made it difficult for me to spot the Vietnamese soldiers hiding inside.

It should be said that it is not suitable to use a sniper rifle on such terrain, the staggered trees in the jungle will make the advantages of the long range of the sniper gun useless, and the sniper scope will also lose its effect due to the obscuration of the trees.

However...... I'm not worried about this, because there are fewer Vietnamese soldiers and more soldiers, so it seems that I just need to lock them down and wait for the appearance of the second squad led by Chen Yiyi.

"Attention Second Shift!" I shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The enemy is about a hundred meters in front of you, approaching the enemy's flank and behind!" ”

"Yes!"

"Attention Class 3! The enemy is on the left side of the mountain road, outflanking their back road! ”

"Yes!"

After giving the order, I raised my sniper rifle again and waited, I wanted to see how long they could endure.

When the footsteps of Chen Yiyi and others stepping on the dead branches appeared in the jungle, those Vietnamese soldiers finally couldn't help it......

"Bang!" With a bang, a Vietnamese soldier was knocked down by a single shot before he could poke his head out of the dead leaves.

In fact, I have noticed the pile of dead leaves for a long time, it is not as natural and flat as in other places, but it is in an irregular shape and slightly protrudes...... I didn't shoot all the time, just because I couldn't pinpoint his location. However, he only needed to move slightly...... The pile of dead leaves would have a chain reaction like dominoes, so I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

At this time, the Vietnamese army realized that they were facing a very serious problem: if they did not move, they would have to wait to be surrounded by our army; If you move, you will run the risk of being sniped by a sniper. (To be continued......)
