Chapter 202: A two-pronged approach

Two reconnaissance units of our army infiltrated the Vietnamese defense line to reconnoitre...... There is a problem when entering the Vietnamese defense line for reconnaissance, that is, the radio cannot be turned on frequently.

It's like the Vietnamese army has radio listening troops...... If the radio is turned on, it will be easily detected by the Vietnamese army, and it will even be able to find out where it is, which is obviously fatal to the reconnaissance troops.

To solve this problem...... Our approach is to agree on a time for each other, only turn on the phone for a few seconds during this time, then send the message as quickly as possible, then turn it off immediately, and then wait for the next contact time...... In this way, the risk of being detected by the Vietnamese army listening force can be reduced as short as possible.

For example, last night, we received only four words from the reconnaissance unit: "Everything is normal...... This is already a risky contact.

Of course, there are drawbacks to this approach, for example, now we don't know what the situation is with the reconnaissance troops on the opposite side...... Is everything going well, or has it been discovered by the enemy, or is there something unexpected...... I don't know this, and it is even possible that they will be annihilated or captured by the Vietnamese army, so we can only wait here. One of the more dangerous possibilities is ...... Captured and confessed to the whole operation of our army, then we will jump into the trap laid by the Vietnamese army......

But I know that the latter may not be a big deal...... The reason is that we are a special agent company, and the soldiers in the special agent company are all selected, and any one of them has been tested and reviewed on the battlefield, not to mention that it is difficult to capture them, and even if they are captured, it is impossible to extract anything from their mouths.

Then I finally waited for the contact time...... First of all, Li Zuolong sent back "everything is normal", so I couldn't help but feel light, which shows that the preparations in the direction of Nanxing have been done very smoothly. However, the message from Sahayd was a few minutes late. And it is: "Target shift." Please instruct "......

This gave me a big headache...... "goal shift". This is to say that the Vietnamese army's wireless listening unit has been transferred, at this critical moment!

This listening force of the Vietnamese army is the ...... of our "sound from the east to the west" If there is no them, it means that our army will not be able to empty Nanyuki's troops, and Nanxing's troops will not be able to be empty...... Most likely, this means that we will not be able to get out of the way after the attack on the ammunition depot!

You must know that this battle is what we are fighting is time, once we are dragged by the Vietnamese army in Nanxing...... Even if it is only for a moment, it is very likely that we will be blocked in the mountain col by the Vietnamese army and annihilated!

At this time, Scar, who was on the other side, was also anxious, and he shouted at me through the walkie-talkie, "Battalion commander...... What to do? ”

After thinking about it, I replied, "Act according to the original jihua...... Use radio signals to lure back the Vietnamese army listening troops! See what I mean? ”

"Understood!" Scar answered.

Radio Listening Troops...... That is, where there is a suspicious radio signal, they will run there, so what if this suspicious signal is within the Vietnamese army's defense line?

So Jihua made some temporary changes at this time......

The first was that Saheid's reconnaissance unit had a few minutes to get on and contact us...... Of course. Some of the messages sent here are actually meaningless, only Zuihou has a meaning, that is, "The Vietnamese army has been fooled, and the troops are listening to the return...... Then it shuts down.

However, it didn't matter if the phone was turned off at this time, because we already knew the location of the Vietnamese troops listening to the troops, and we believed that they would still be there for some time to come, so the sound of our artillery and gunfire soon rang out......

These guns and cannons were fired by our soldiers stationed on the 771 heights...... Heights 771 are directly opposite Heights 1502, and it is very common to shoot artillery and guns to this extent, because it is directly opposite the height of the Vietnamese army...... If there is a little wind in front of the positions of both sides, or even just a rat or something. There will be a burst of shelling and strafing immediately......

And the two sides still seem to have made an appointment, and we are not to be outdone when we fight the devils...... Although it is quite possible that no one has found the target...... The soldiers on both sides are sometimes fighting for a breath. You've shot at me, so I don't think I'm being suppressed by you without firing a few shots.

So soon you came and went...... It's going to take a while before it stops.

Of course, this time our army started fighting for a purpose...... It's to cover our agent company with gunfire and cannons!

"Prepare ......" As soon as I gave the order, the armored convoy started in the dark, and in an instant the air was filled with the smell of diesel.

After waiting for a while, I saw a faint light on the other side of the river flickering and extinguishing...... That's the signal we made an appointment with the reconnaissance troops.

The task of the reconnaissance unit is to be responsible for the safety of the advance of our armored convoys...... To put it simply, it is to split the road, and it is naturally one of their tasks to solve the open and dark posts on the other side of the river. This signal is to tell us that the Vietnamese sentry on the other side of the river has been eliminated by them, and at the same time, the faint flashlight is still a navigation beacon light that indicates the direction of our armored vehicles.

So the next second I gave the order to "go".

Twenty armored vehicles suddenly drove slowly towards the opposite shore like twenty crocodiles sneaking towards their prey in the dark...... After a while, I heard the sound of water, and the armored cars drove into the water one after another......

At this time, it should be said that it is the easiest time to be detected by the Vietnamese army, because the sound of the paddling of the armored vehicles is not small, and there are twenty of them...... In addition, the river can be said to be empty, as long as there is a Vietnamese sentry on the opposite bank or a flare fired in this direction by the Vietnamese army on the hilltop position, everything is exposed.

But luckily, none of this happened...... Perhaps it is also because of the performance of this Soviet-style armored vehicle, one is that because it balances the weight of the front and rear, it moves very smoothly in the water...... For this, the BTR armored car even sacrificed the convenience of opening the door behind it. The other is because of its fast forward speed, this section of the river is dozens of meters and the current is turbulent, and it only takes us more than ten seconds to drive through......

This proved to be very necessary, because we had just crossed the river and drove into the grass by the river again, when a flare came from nearby.

In a way...... At this time, we were not worried about being discovered by the Vietnamese army, because we never thought that a convoy of twenty armored vehicles would not be discovered by the Vietnamese army the whole time, which was almost impossible, and this was not our jihua.

But what is clear...... The later we are discovered by the Vietnamese army, the more beneficial it will be for us, so we have the intention of trying not to be discovered as much as possible, and once we are discovered, we will go to the target at full speed.

So we waited under the flares for a while, and it was only after a few minutes that the flares turned red and disappeared on the other side of the hill, and then we moved forward again under the guidance of the reconnaissance troops......

In a few minutes we were up a mountain trail...... Coincidentally, the mountain road was just wide enough for an armored vehicle to pass through, and the road was naturally rugged, and in some places there was even a large crater blown out by artillery shells, but this was certainly not a problem for armored vehicles...... Armored vehicles are designed to be used on such roads, and if you can't even deal with this, how can they be used on the battlefield?

"Battalion commander!" Li Zuolong's voice came over the radio: "The mines along the way have been cleared by us, and there is no danger along the way...... There are only three kilometers away from Nanyuki, and some parts are too narrow to be passed by stones on both sides! ”

"What?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Then how many times have you reported that 'everything is normal'?" ”

"Battalion commander!" Li Zuolong replied: "Because I have observed...... There are not many places where armored vehicles cannot pass, only two...... If we could blow these rocks apart with explosives...... That won't have any effect on our jihua! However, it may alarm the Vietnamese army......"

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nodded, Li Zuolong's idea is indeed feasible, and it also proves that he has the ability to analyze and solve problems independently......

As for the possibility of alarming the Vietnamese army by bursting the rocks, this was originally within our consideration.

"No problem!" So I immediately ordered: "Prepare to blow up the rocks, and when we arrive, we will explode ......"

"Yes!" Li Zuolong answered and went to prepare.

This part of the mountain road is indeed difficult to walk...... It winds up and down, and it's muddy everywhere...... If this is a nightmare for infantry or cars, it's no wonder Scar says it takes five or six hours to get from here to Nanko......

Of course, this also includes the time to clear the mines and deal with the sentinels.

But these roads were nothing to us armored vehicles with eight wheels, and there were reconnaissance troops clearing obstacles for us along the way, so we soon came to the canyon that Li Zuolong said...... At this time, he poked his head out to take a look, and sure enough, as Li Zuolong said, he was sandwiched between the two highlands on the left and right......

"Battalion commander!" Li Zuolong reported: "Preparations are ready for detonation......

"Wait!" I say.

Then he turned to walkie-talkie and asked Scar, "How many minutes do you have to take on the enemy?" ”

"One minute!" Scar replied: "We have already seen the lights of the Vietnamese convoy......"

"Good!" I said, "Remember to start with a little lighter and give them time and opportunity to call for help!" ”

"Yes!"

"A long line!" I ordered Li Zuolong again: "Listen to my order to detonate in five minutes......

My thoughts are...... When the battle in the direction of Sa Sai began, the explosions on our side would not be so obvious, and it would be time for the Vietnamese army in Nam Thanh to set off. (To be continued......)
