Chapter 192: Footprints

When I got back to the headquarters, I was worried......

What worries me is not that Deputy Division Commander Wang has entrusted me with the task of dealing with Vietnamese agents...... In fact, the purpose of our visit this time is to have two missions, one is to combat the layered excavation of the Vietnamese army, and the other is to deal with the Vietnamese army agents.

Therefore, it is also in line with me that Deputy Division Commander Wang will hand over this task to us...... It was even supposed that I should have asked Deputy Division Commander Wang to cooperate with us, but now Deputy Division Commander Wang took the initiative to do so.

The reason why I'm worried...... is because he knows that the task given by Deputy Division Commander Wang is not as simple as dealing with Vietnamese army agents.

If this is according to my original idea, that is, the Vietnamese army agents are carrying out special operations in our rear, then our army will also carry out special operations against the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army agents will blow up one of our ammunition depots, and we will blow up two of them...... In this way, a balance will actually be reached on the battlefield on the front line, and the supply and command systems of both sides will be hit, and no one will be able to take advantage.

It would have been easy if it had just been played like this, but now ...... Deputy Division Commander Wang's intention is obviously to let us guard against the Vietnamese army agents, and even find out and eliminate the Vietnamese army agents!

It's hard to do that...... You must know that the agents of the Vietnamese army are not ordinary troops, and the terrain in this area is quite complicated, and a company of agents of the Vietnamese army is like looking for a needle in the sea wherever it goes, not to mention that the strength of a battalion is not enough, even if it is a regiment or a division, it may not be able to find it.

This is not to say that the combat effectiveness of our synthetic battalion is not good, but there are many things that come and go at one time and are not actually equal, just like it is easy to throw a stone into the grass, but it is very difficult to find it again. Maybe maybe we've been looking here for a long time. It is very likely that the Vietnamese army agents will sneak back.

Originally, I wanted to refuse the task request of Deputy Division Commander Wang, and let the secret service company infiltrate the Vietnamese defense line and carry out special operations according to my own ideas. But it doesn't feel right to think about it...... For example, now. Vietnamese agents have already seized the opportunity and even launched an attack on our synthetic battalion.

Although this attack can be described as a feint, it is ...... with the insight of Vietnamese army agents I'm sure they'll know the strength of our synthetic battalion if they defend this feint.

At this time, I couldn't help but regret that I was nervous at the time and sent the second company, as the so-called connoisseur knew if there was one as soon as he made a move, and the second company of Scar was so ...... What kind of tactical moves, coordination, and even rushed forward with armored vehicles and mortars, which made some Vietnamese agents not even have a chance to run. It was taken down with a direct photo.

Therefore, although we killed more than a dozen Vietnamese agents in this battle, it was not a good thing...... Because they already know of our existence and have even realized the mistake of their previous actions...... That is, the main direction of attack should be our synthetic battalion rather than the headquarters of the Ninth Frontier Division.

I think this is also the reason why the actions of the Weishenme Vietnamese army on the front line are not very big.

So in this case...... If I had had had allowed the special agent company to infiltrate the Vietnamese line for special operations as I had done in the original Jihua, the synthetic battalion would have been in danger...... The special agent company was on the territory of Vietnam, one company was on the 581 heights, and the sniper units were scattered on the front line...... The only thing left of the base of the synthetic battalion is the guard platoon, tank crews, and sappers.

I couldn't help but be stunned when I thought of this...... Maybe that's a good thing, too! Will the next target for Vietnamese agents be our synthetic battalion?

Vietnamese agents may not have had the audacity...... They had just attacked our battalion, and we would definitely be on guard. But who's for sure? Special operations, the fight is a surprise!

Let's be honest. If I really had to defend, the Vietnamese agents would not have found a chance to sneak up...... A company of agents plus a tank company, a platoon of guards. Moreover, this agent company is still equipped with dozens of armored vehicles, and the Vietnamese army agents will die as many as they come!

But...... If that's the case, the Vietnamese agents won't be able to target us!

So...... I'm going to create a chance for them, a not-so-explicit one that would be believed by Vietnamese agents......

"Staff Officer Zhao!" I quickly called Zhao Jingping to me and said, "Contact the Ninth Frontier Division, I want to know how they are tracking the Vietnamese agents!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon Zhao Jingping returned to me and pointed to the map and reported: "Battalion commander, according to the report of the Ninth Frontier Division...... The Vietnamese agents fled all the way west into the jungle, leaving a squad of troops to lead our army's trailing troops into the fork in the road, and its main force had already fled back to the Vietnamese defense line overnight from the junction of the two regiments of the Eighth Frontier Division! ”

"Oh!" I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard this, so I went back?

After thinking about it, I asked again: "How did the Ninth Frontier Division know that they fled back?" ”

"It's the report of the Eighth Frontier Division!" Zhao Jingping replied: "The Eighth Frontier Division sacrificed a few sentries, and then found a large number of footprints, and the Vietnamese army agents also stepped on a mine...... There was blood all along the way! ”

I paced back and forth a few steps, and then beckoned to Zhao Jingping: "Let's go and see!" ”

Soon came to the scene where the Vietnamese army agents fled, and sure enough, as Zhao Jingping said, there were footprints everywhere...... This is also the advantage of this place in Vietnam, because it is wet and muddy, because it is muddy, it will leave footprints, so there is clear evidence of the escape of the Vietnamese army......

"The few sentries we died were in this position last night!" The company commander who was in charge of receiving us, surnamed Xu, pointed to a pool of undried blood and said: "Their attention was focused on the Vietnamese troops on the opposite side, and they didn't expect the danger to come from the rear at all...... There were also two secret posts over there, and the Vietnamese troops in front of us at that time deliberately fired a few shells and a few shuttle machine guns in our direction, so no one noticed any movement here......"

I didn't listen to what Company Commander Xu said...... Because I believe that the easier it is to find the actions of Vietnamese agents, the less essential it is sometimes.

I stared at the footprints on the ground and the blood stains that stretched all the way in the direction of Vietnam, and couldn't help but curse fiercely: "Fuck! Let these devils run away......"

"Battalion commander, what now?" Zhao Jingping asked.

"What else can I do?" I scolded angrily: "Everyone has run away, can you still chase them and arrest them?" Get back! ”

As he spoke, he sat back in the jeep and left with Zhao Jingping in a smoke.

But what Zhao Jingping didn't expect was ...... As soon as I returned to the battalion headquarters, I immediately called Zhao Jingping and Scar to the conference room.

"Here's the thing!" I said, "We're going to set a trap for the Vietnamese agents!" ”

"Lay a trap?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but say strangely: "Battalion commander, do you mean that the Vietnamese army agents will come?" ”

"No, I'm going to come!" I said, "Yes, I didn't leave at all!" ”

"Didn't leave?" Zhao Jingping's face was full of disbelief.

"How many troops do the Vietnamese army agents have?" I don't answer rhetorical questions.

"Great ......" Zhao Jingping thought about it and replied: "At least one company, two platoons are used to attack the division headquarters, and one platoon is used to feint against us!" ”

"How many footprints did you see just now?" I asked again.

Zhao Jingping thought about it and replied: "There is indeed almost a company!" ”

"The footprints do look like a company, but half of them are walking backwards!"

"Walking backwards?"

I stomped hard in the mud under my feet and stepped on a footprint, saying, "You can see clearly, the footprints are shallow and deep in the soles of the feet, and that's because the soles of the feet are bigger than the roots, but some of those footprints are shallower than the soles of the feet!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Jingping quickly understood: "The more devils wear their shoes in reverse......

"That's right!" I said, "Actually, I feel strange when I see those shoe prints, all the Yue devils are wearing shoes...... You must know that in this place in Yunnan, because there is mud everywhere, sometimes you can't run barefoot when you wear shoes, not to mention that the Vietnamese army is still used to playing barefoot...... At least a few should be barefoot! ”

"The reason why they all wear shoes is to deliberately set up this suspicion!" Zhao Jingping nodded in agreement, but then asked strangely: "The battalion commander ...... just now"

"Since the Yue devil hasn't left, it's very likely that he is hiding in the dark and secretly observing us!" I said, "If I had said these thoughts at the time, it would have been to tell the Vietnamese army that we had seen the difference and knew that they were not gone!" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Jingping suddenly realized: "The bloodstain is also thought to have been deliberately made by the Vietnamese army agents......

"Not necessarily!" I said, "It is also possible that they were really injured by a landmine, but naturally they will not come back, so it happens to be another evidence that the Vietnamese army has fled!" ”

"These devils!" Scar scolded: "It's really getting more and more cunning, they didn't know how to do this when they fought the Yankees!" ”

"It's not the same as when the Yankees fight!" I said, "It was fought in Vietnam, and the Vietnamese devils hid wherever they wanted." Now it's different, the Vietnamese army has to hide in our country...... It's not that easy, that's why I have to do this trick! ”

"That's right!" Scar nodded: "Then how do we set traps for them!" ”

"Pretend to retaliate against the Vietnamese army!" I said, "They attacked our headquarters...... We're going to sneak up on their headquarters too! ”

"Pretend?"

"That's right!" I said, "Only in this way will the Vietnamese army think that our synthetic battalion is empty, and they will have a chance to take advantage of it!" ”

"What does the battalion commander mean ......" Hearing this, Scar couldn't help but be stunned: "Is the Yue Devil Special Agent Force staying or is it to fight our synthetic battalion?" ”

Of course, I don't know if it's ...... Maybe the Vietnamese agents weren't as complicated as I thought, they just stayed to raid our arsenal or something.

But...... War is a thing that sometimes means trying your luck! (To be continued......)
