Chapter 217: Reconnaissance Company

The first thing I did when I returned to the battalion headquarters was to pull back the sniper company on the front line.

However, because the sky was already bright at this time, the Vietnamese army agents did not have the opportunity to sneak back to cross the border as soon as the sky was bright, after all, our border guards were prepared, and the sniper even needed to rest when they were sniping on the front line during this time, so I gave them ten hours of rest to prepare for the new mission.

While the sniper company and the agent company were resting, I was busy at the battalion headquarters with the staff officers to plan the interception.

It's not complicated to intercept Jihua, it's just to assign a company of agents and a company of snipers to the nearby border. The purpose was to prevent the Vietnamese army from crossing the border and returning to Vietnam.

"My Jihua is like this!" I drew a border about 20 kilometers long on the map and said, "This is the line we want to guard!" ”

"Battalion commander!" Zhang Zuoliang said: "We only have one battalion to defend such a long border...... Isn't there too little force? ”

"Not a little at all!" I said: "First of all, there are all units of our army stationed on the border, and they have all strengthened their defenses...... It's just that I'm worried...... The combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese army agents is very strong, and the remaining number is still about two platoons, once a strong attack is launched on the weak position of our border defense troops, coupled with the cooperation of the Vietnamese army's frontal troops...... It is still possible to break through the defense line of our army and return to Vietnam! ”

"The battalion commander is right!" Zhao Jingping nodded and said: "It is unlikely that the Vietnamese army agents want to sneak back unnoticedly after our army strengthens the vigilance, but if the Vietnamese army's frontal troops have Jihua's cooperation and the Vietnamese army agents break through the defense, our army's border troops will be attacked by the Vietnamese army from both sides, and it will be very difficult to stop the Vietnamese army agents!" ”

"That's why we're prepared!" I said, "We have two strengths. One is that the special service company is equipped with armored vehicles. Can maneuver quickly along the border. So we don't need to have a continuous fortification of these twenty kilometers of border. Instead, it is divided into three sections, each with two or three platoons, about eight kilometers apart from each other, so that our troops can put in two or more platoons of agents within ten minutes, no matter where the enemy situation is detected at any time or place. ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize and nodded in agreement.

In fact, this is not a new tactic, and the characteristic of mechanized troops is that they can move quickly and put into the battlefield, which enables mechanized troops to hold a long line of defense with a small number of troops. This is the same nature as when many countries had "rapid reaction forces" in World War II. It's just that in this era, our army does not have this kind of consciousness because of the limitations of equipment.

"And what about the sniper company?" Zhao Jingping asked, "What is their mission?" ”

"Their job is to be lurking!" I said, "Because it takes about 10 minutes for our special forces to arrive at the designated place...... We do not rule out the possibility that the Vietnamese army agents will be able to end the battle in ten minutes, so ...... We need to detect and react to the enemy as early as possible, and this is the task of the sniper company...... The sniper company is dispersed in armored vehicles in two-person teams along the 20-kilometer-long border, lurking at commanding heights, highways, narrow valleys and other important positions, and reporting the enemy situation in time once it is discovered! ”

Zhao Jingping nodded: "The soldiers of the sniper company are equipped with gilly suits and have received professional stealth training, even the Vietnamese army agents are afraid that they will not be able to detect them." So ...... The Vietnamese army agents thought they were dark, but they didn't know that the mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches...... It's actually us in the shadows! ”

What Zhao Jingping said is exactly what I meant...... There are many things on the battlefield that are to treat others the way they want to be treated, for example, the best way to deal with sniper warfare is sniper warfare, and the best way to deal with agents is to be agents...... Now, deal with Vietnamese agents hiding in the shadows. The best way to do this is to be a deeper, more stealthy sniper!

zuihou I concluded: "That's it...... We have formed a sniper as the eyes and ears, and the special forces as the maneuver. With ordinary troops as the line of defense, it is necessary to stop the Vietnamese army agents in the territory of our army! ”

"Yes!" The staff officers responded and immediately began to make arrangements.

This jihua is not complicated to say, but it is not so simple to implement, and the difficulty lies in the coordination of various arms...... Because each part of the line of defense is composed of three parts: the sniper company, the special agent company, and the border guards, the troops of the sniper company must be assigned to the special agent company, and then the special agent company must establish a link with the border guards. Zuihou also needs to grasp the topographical information of each section...... Only with this information do snipers know where to station.

As a result, the staff officers were quickly busy, some were in charge of the special service company and the sniper company, and some were contacting the corresponding border guards chiefs to explain the situation and ask for the required information...... In short, it's a lot of fun.

That's when I realized that Weishenme would need a dozen staff officers...... If I were to do all this work alone, I wouldn't be able to keep myself busy even if I had three heads and six arms.

I'm going to lie down and rest for a while...... Because I injured my back shoulder, I couldn't lie down, and I had to lie down when I was resting.

At this time, the correspondent handed over the walkie-talkie: "Battalion commander, deputy division commander Wang's phone!" ”

"I heard you're hurt?" Deputy Division Commander Wang asked, "Are you seriously injured?" ”

"No problem!" I replied: "Let the grenade shrapnel blow up, the skin is wounded!" ”

"That's good!" Deputy Division Commander Wang said: "This time, you want to wipe out all the Vietnamese army agents, right?" How do you need the Ninth Division to cooperate with you? Just say! ”

"Deputy Commander Xiexie!" I said, "We have already done it, and we plan to disperse the synthetic battalion to a nearby 20-kilometer defense line to prevent the Vietnamese army agents from returning to the country, which requires establishing contact with the border guards and sharing intelligence at any time, if Deputy Division Commander Wang can help communicate with the troops......

"No problem!" Deputy Division Commander Wang responded immediately: "I have already reported your situation to the army commander, and the military department attaches great importance to this, thinking that the Vietnamese army agents can no longer be allowed to make such unscrupulous trouble, and order us to fully cooperate with the synthetic battalion to search and suppress the Vietnamese army agents, you can rest assured that you can arrange it!" All border guards will cooperate with you! ”

"Deputy Divisional Commander!" Thinking of this, I said to Deputy Division Commander Wang, "I'm thinking...... Can the border guards form a reconnaissance company specifically for Vietnamese agents! ”

"Form a reconnaissance company to deal with Vietnamese agents?" Hearing this, Deputy Division Commander Wang couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes!" I said: "If all border guards set up a reconnaissance company to deal with Vietnamese agents, and this reconnaissance company does not have to go to the front line to fight with the Vietnamese troops, it will naturally not be influenced and pinned down by the Vietnamese troops on the front line." In addition, it is also convenient for the reconnaissance companies of various units to share information and coordination against Vietnamese agents, and more importantly, they can conduct targeted training and accumulate experience in special operations! ”

"Hmm!" Deputy Division Commander Wang is also a person who understands, of course he knows the benefits of doing this, and after thinking about it, he replied, "Your idea is very good...... I'll report to him right away and get this force up for him as soon as possible! ”

When I hung up the phone, I let go of one thing...... In many cases, on the battlefield, it is not just a matter of making contacts, for example, I am just a battalion commander, and I am also the battalion commander of a composite battalion, so I have to command other units and even let my subordinates command those units that are much higher than us...... Other troops won't necessarily sell our accounts! Even those battalion commanders, regiment commanders, and even division commanders are very likely to order us to fight like this because the officers are bigger than us...... At that time, I was afraid that we would knock out our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs.

But now, if all the border guards set up a reconnaissance company to deal with the Vietnamese army...... Then it is much easier to command and coordinate.

At the same time, it quickly occurred to me...... The method of forming a reconnaissance company can also be extended to the entire force, that is, each unit has a unit that is separate from ordinary combat units and specially targeted Vietnamese agents outside of combat missions...... After a long period of time, this reconnaissance company has been accumulating experience and improving its combat effectiveness in the process of fighting with the Vietnamese army's special services.

When I think of this, I can't help but feel enlightened...... This may be the prototype of our army's special forces, I was still thinking about how to spread the tactics and ideas of the special agent company to the whole army, but I didn't expect that the battlefield has its own laws of development...... The battlefield is a place for the survival of the fittest, and because our army does not have special forces, it always suffers losses on the battlefield in Vietnam and sometimes faces the danger of annihilation. So in order to survive...... Our army had to form a special unit to deal with the Vietnamese agents, so over time it slowly had its own special forces.

I think that the development of our army's sniper units should also have this process......

Other words...... Even if this shijie does not have my existence, our army will also develop sniper units and special forces, which is determined by the law of survival of the fittest on the battlefield.

And I'm ...... Coming from a post-modern Shijie is actually just speeding up the pace of this development.

"Battalion commander! It's time for the injection! "While I was thinking nonsense, a hygienist walked up to me.

"Hmm!" I answered and struggled to get out of bed.

As I said before, you must not be careless if you are injured in this hellish place in Vietnam, which is damp and full of germs, and the wound will rot and even grow maggots at every turn...... Therefore, the needle and medicine cannot be stopped until the injury is healed, and the bottle must be hung up when necessary.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of Chen Yiyilai...... I met her in the tunnel of the old street because I bandaged my wounds, I don't know where she is now, I don't know if she's still in this shijie...... (To be continued......)
