Chapter IV: Capture Operations (2)
So it's really hard for me to imagine that Chen Qiaoqiao would see this loophole in advance without giving any warning, and still let Xu Liangbin go to the battlefield according to this plan.
To know that there was a total of one platoon of fighters involved in the operation...... The platoon was divided into three squads and divided into three groups, namely the capture group, the receiving group, and the fire cover group.
In other words, the failure of this plan is likely to cause a platoon to suffer heavy casualties, and if such a thing really happens, then I really don't know what to do with Chen Qiaoqiao.
At that point, I would undoubtedly be in a dilemma: dealing with Chen Qiaoqiao, she seemed to be doing what she thought was right, and she could even say that she was training the reconnaissance brigade exactly as I had ordered to train Vietnamese agents.
If you don't deal with her, you can't explain to those sacrificed soldiers, and it's not enough to be angry.
But Chen Qiaoqiao didn't care about this.
"Why are you worried about this?" Chen Qiaoqiao said indifferently: "Do you think I will be so stupid, I will still say it after causing a lot of casualties?" ”
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and when I thought about it, I was really right...... If this really caused casualties, Chen Qiaoqiao insisted that he didn't find out, and it was an accident.
As feared, the reconnaissance brigade's capture went smoothly at first.
The capture group and the receiving group infiltrated the Vietnamese army's defense line...... After all, our army had relatively few infiltration and reconnaissance operations against the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army's defense of our army at this time was not strict, coupled with the insufficient strength of the Vietnamese army, especially after the 7.12 battle. Even the front-line forces are weak.
This also made the infiltration of the reconnaissance brigade just a careful ride of the night while crawling and clearing mines. Their only difficulty was to get rid of the two sentinels. Then let the two warriors continue to guard in the form of sentinels.
The fire cover group also quickly deployed forces in the vicinity. This included two heavy machine guns and two groups of snipers, whose task was to provide fire cover for the capture and reception teams when they withdrew, on the one hand, to repel the Vietnamese pursuers, and on the other hand, to suppress the Vietnamese firepower so as not to pose a threat to our withdrawn troops.
The capture of prisoners also went smoothly.
Maybe it was the first time, so Xu Liangbin personally led the team into battle, and they cleanly killed two guards of the Vietnamese officer with a silent pistol, and at the same time, Xu Liangbin stepped forward with a rifle butt to smash the Vietnamese officer unconscious before he drew his gun...... After all, it is unprepared, and there are reconnaissance brigades that have undergone rigorous training. So this qiē was completed in a few minutes, and it didn't even alarm the nearby Vietnamese army.
It wasn't until Xu Liangbin ran back on the back of the Vietnamese officer that the problem came......
The field, which would not have sunk in the first place, was now a pit with one foot at a time, let alone running, and it was quite difficult to walk.
And it's not just a matter of slowness, when the foot gets into the mud and then pulls it out, it will make a loud noise, which quickly attracts the attention of the Vietnamese army in the silence of the night, and several flashlights are immediately shining in this way.
The battle started at that moment, and it was Xu Liangbin and his party who shot first, which is what I usually told them in training: "If the action is exposed, then it is better to shoot first than to shoot later." It's better to let the devils not understand the intentions of our army! ”
Xu Liangbin did just that, when the Vietnamese army's flashlight came over. Not only did they not retreat, but they also turned around and put on an offensive formation as fast as they could, and then shouted loudly and rushed towards the flashlight of the Vietnamese army......
The Vietnamese army was stunned when they saw this scene: Damn, when did the Chinese soldiers come here and attack!
The first reaction of the Vietnamese army was to turn off the flashlight and then organize a defense.
This bought Xu Liangbin a little time, and when the Vietnamese army closed the flashlight to organize defense, what they didn't know was that Xu Liangbin and the others retreated while shooting indiscriminately at the back.
Of course, at this time, the problem still exists, that is, it is still difficult for the captives to carry back. In other words, the reconnaissance team simply did not have that much time to carry the prisoners back slowly like this.
Later, according to Xu Liangbin's words, he was also a little panicked at that moment, he thought about simply admitting that the capture failed, that is, he broke the prisoner with one shot, and then retreated with the team members.
But he was still unwilling, unwilling to let the first capture operation fail like this, so he was still using the last bit of time to find the possibility of bringing the prisoner back.
The next second, he really figured it out: tie the captive's two hands with the backpack straps, and then drag the captive away like a corpse...... Obviously, this would reduce the pressure on the ground when carrying the captive on the back over a large distance, and since the field was relatively flat and smooth, it did not take much effort to drag the captive along.
Of course, Xu Liangbin didn't think about any pressure or anything like that at that time, he just thought that when he used to do farm work, he knew that it was much easier to drag things than to carry things on his back, so he decided to do that.
In the end, Xu Liangbin and his entourage were very successful in bringing the prisoners back, and even the prisoners did not wake up after being dragged to our military doctors, while Xu Liangbin and others did not suffer any casualties except for one whose scalp was grazed by bullets.
"Next time that happens to you!" I secretly said to Chen Qiaoqiao, "Can you remind me first?" ”
After all, our army is not a Vietnamese army, so some training methods suitable for the Vietnamese army may not be applicable to our army.
"No problem." Chen Qiaoqiao replied: "But I can't guarantee what kind of results this army will have if it really infiltrates the enemy's defense line to fight!" ”
I couldn't help but be a little speechless, but thinking about it, Chen Qiaoqiao might be right, because the battlefield is so cruel, and we must have this awareness of facing danger from the beginning.
