The capture was not as difficult as expected.

First of all, the cooperation of the front-line troops of our army...... Perhaps it was because of the previous war of annihilation against the Vietnamese army that made our synthetic battalion famous, so as soon as I heard that it was our synthetic battalion that needed their cooperation, we accepted it without saying a word. Then what is wanted, whether it is guns and ammunition or intelligence of the Vietnamese army...... As long as they have it, they try to provide it for us, and they are all prepared the most!

I'm starting to wonder about that...... I know the troops on this line, things like guns and ammunition are pretty good, first, we don't need much, and second, the troops on the front line really don't lack these things. But the intelligence of the Vietnamese army is different...... Just like what we encountered in the Banwang area, many front-line troops will not give people easily because they have exchanged their lives for this information...... If you want to know, you can buy it with money or good things.

But I never encountered that again...... At first, I thought that the direction in Yunnan was different from Guangxi, but when I asked, I learned that there was also this rule.

Let's talk about the reason...... In fact, it is also simple, because we are a synthetic battalion, and the synthetic battalion of Vietnamese agents has been annihilated...... You must know that the troops in this area are fed up with the bitterness and anger of the Vietnamese army agents, and this time on the battlefield they are either sneak attacked by them, not to mention the heavy casualties, and they are chasing them all but not even catching a shadow.

But we knocked out dozens of Vietnamese troops at once...... This gave these troops a bad breath, as they said...... We have all avenged their fallen comrades, and we have been angry for them. And what I am doing now is to let the Yue devils also taste the taste of being sneak attacked...... If they just provide some information and have to collect money and things, are they still people?

So there is nothing to say, no matter where the soldiers of our synthetic battalion go, they are entertained with good food and food!

The second is that Scar and the staff officers are very thorough......

They divided the second company into three parts, each with two platoons...... The second company has a total of seven platoons, each platoon has more than 40 people, and the remaining platoon is naturally stationed in the synthetic battalion.

However, I believe that the Vietnamese agents will not have the courage to launch another sneak attack on our synthetic battalion, unless they also want to taste the history of our tank company...... This is actually the sad thing about the tank company, with twenty advanced Type 69 and T62 tanks. It was supposed to destroy the enemy on the battlefield. But it was used for defense...... But there is no way to do this, Vietnam is a hellish place, unless it is to be interspersed or a large-scale attack, this tank is really useless.

Then Scar divided each part into a capture group, a response group, a cover group, a vigilance group, and a fire team...... At first, I heard that there were so many famous halls, which were a little inexplicable. In total, the two platoons were divided into five groups. This means that there is only one class per group...... What can the people of this class do?

But once Scar explained, he felt that these groupings were completely necessary...... The purpose of this battle was to go deep into enemy territory and capture prisoners. Then the number of people fighting directly cannot be too much, too much is easy to expose. So the capture team was only one squad, that is, more than a dozen, which was just right.

Secondly, once the capture team captures the captive, it is very likely that it will be exposed due to the prisoner's non-cooperation in the process of retreating, so it needs someone to respond and cover...... So there was a cover group and an answering group. These two groups cannot be too large for the same reason.

Again, someone must ensure the safety of the retreat route, otherwise a few people of the Vietnamese army will occupy the commanding heights on the way back and will fall into a situation of encirclement, so a warning group will be needed.

Zuihou also needs long-range firepower, such as mortars, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc...... Therefore, the fire team was needed, and because the fire group was located close to the defense line of our army, the largest number of people was two squads.

Of course, one of Zuihou's backing is the cooperation of the corresponding front-line troops.

So this layer of organization is very clear...... It is conceivable that once the capture team succeeded in capturing the prisoners, even if they were discovered by the Vietnamese army at that time and chased all the way, our army had people to answer them all the way...... Even mortar anti-aircraft machine guns will cover with fire, and this is still in the dark, and the Vietnamese army is helpless.

At this time, I couldn't help but admire the scar a little...... It was as if he had done this, and he had done it all in such detail.

When I asked, Scar replied, "Didn't you learn this yet?" What method did you forget when attacking Banwang? ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and soon thought that this tactic was actually not much different from when attacking Banwang, but it was attacking all the way in Banwang, and this time the prisoners were retreating all the way...... It seems that many things on this battlefield are really connected.

Then I thought...... If our army has a unit that goes deep into the enemy's defense line to carry out the mission, can it also be met by this method?!

Zuihou surprised me ...... The Vietnamese defense line was not as tight as I thought, which allowed our army to easily infiltrate the Vietnamese defense line in the dark night to capture prisoners, and even one of the capture teams was not discovered by the Vietnamese army during the whole process.

Thinking about it later, there are two reasons why this happened......

First, because the Vietnamese army is insufficient...... If there are not enough troops, it is necessary to have a defensive method of insufficient troops, that is, to invest more troops in key heights, and some less important highlands are like a dozen or twenty people to be put in. As a result, some highlands were defended by our army with a company, while the corresponding Vietnamese army had only one platoon or even one squad.

This is also the Vietnamese army's policy of "fighting more with less, and fighting quantity with quality", but the wish is always beautiful, but the reality is that the strength of this platoon or squad can only barely "watch" the position on the top of the mountain, for other places...... For example, a narrow valley between two highlands or some part of the dense forest...... All they can do is lay mines or traps, and because they are so limited, they are limited in numbers.

These mines and traps, of course, would not pose much of a threat to the fighters of the Secret Service Company...... You must know that the soldiers of the second company used to do dark demining when they were on the 581 heights, so this is a review of the previous lessons!

On the other hand, I think the reason why there are so many holes in the defense of the Vietnamese army...... It was our army that at this time there was no real special force.

At this time, our army only had scouts...... Scouts can be said to be the predecessors of our army's special forces, but in fact, they cannot be said to be special forces. On the one hand, the reason is due to insufficient training...... Needless to say, this is a common feature of our army in this era, and scouts are often new recruits who do not have much combat experience. On the other hand, just as Deputy Division Commander Wang said, because they did not have enough information about the Vietnamese army, the scouts did the tasks of reconnoitering the terrain, feeling the posts, and capturing prisoners.

It's a bit like boiling a frog in warm water, because our army doesn't have special forces, because the Vietnamese army doesn't feel threatened, so their vigilance is naturally relaxed.

In this respect, it is not all bad to build a force that did not exist before...... Although there is no experience to draw on, the enemy is defenseless against us.

So after the efforts of the three capture teams for several days, a group of prisoners were really captured...... The reason why it takes a few days is that sometimes even if the capture team lurks outside the Vietnamese army's public security cantonment, it can't find an opportunity...... It's dark, isn't it? Moreover, the public security station is on the second line, so they all went back to the house to sleep with peace of mind...... The guards were often made up of old men and children, and the soldiers did not think that they would be of any value in capturing.

The three capture teams captured three and two of them...... A total of nine prisoners were captured, among which the capture team led by Li Zuolong, who captured the most...... They struck twice and captured four prisoners...... In fact, it should be five to be exact, but when he came back for the second time, the prisoner Li Zuolong was carrying didn't know how to break free from the rotten cloth in his mouth, and then he took a hard bite on Li Zuolong's shoulder......

Needless to say, as soon as Li Zuolong's anger came up, his hand became heavier, and the guy's neck was twisted alive with a "click...... was so scared that the other two devils didn't dare to gasp, but these two guys were the most cooperative during the interrogation!

In the entire capture operation, the casualties of our army were only five...... One of them stepped on the Vietnamese army's bamboo stick array on the way back, although our army's rubber shoes are equipped with steel plates to prevent bamboo sticks, but sometimes in order not to make a noise to alarm the Vietnamese army, the soldiers often need to walk barefoot, and at this time, there is a soldier whose entire foot is pierced by bamboo sticks...... What is impressive is that he did not make a sound from beginning to end, and after quickly bandaging the wound himself, he ran all the way back after the soldiers...... It was not until he returned to our line of defense that he fainted to the ground. And it was only then that the comrades beside him knew that he was wounded.

The other four were caught up by the Vietnamese army because they stepped on a landmine on the way back...... As a result, four men were responsible for leaving cover, including the soldier who had broken one of his legs when he stepped on a mine...... None of the four fighters came back, and we didn't even know if they were alive or dead, except that there was a loud bang of explosives in Zuihou and it fell silent.

Scar's expression was relaxed when he reported to me, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, but I knew that he wasn't at ease at all.

Because I've had a similar experience, knowing that on a real battlefield...... How tragic that is! (To be continued......)
