Chapter VII: Reconnaissance Operations (2)
This reminds me of two similar sneak attacks that blew up the Vietnamese army's arsenal.
One time was at the "Underground Great Wall" in Lao Cai, and that time was honestly a lot of luck...... Because he met Chen Yiyi, he knew the "Underground Great Wall" well, and he was lucky to be called by the Vietnamese army to work as a porter in the arsenal.
Now that I think about it, at that time, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and dared to plunge into it without any information, or even without even knowing the location of the arsenal.
The second time was in Shasai, where he went to the ammunition depot to replenish ammunition disguised as reinforcements in Shasai.
This time, it can be said that it was more of a strong attack, relying on Soviet-style armored vehicles captured from the Vietnamese army, raiding the ammunition depot with lightning speed and then withdrawing.
But this time......
This time the situation can be said to be different, neither to try your luck like the first time, nor to launch a strong attack like the second time. So the plan quickly stalled here.
To be honest, I really want to push this matter to Xu Liangbin like the previous capture operation and let him take full responsibility, after all, this is originally their reconnaissance team's business, and they should let them worry about themselves.
But I knew that I couldn't do this, because the reconnaissance team was actually still in the training stage, and if its plan was not rigorous and it suffered heavy casualties, Commander Zhang would blame it, and we were afraid that such a long training time would be in vain, and we might even have to train from scratch.
After thinking about it, I asked Chen Qiaoqiao: "It's so strict to receive ammunition, so what if you send ammunition inside?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded and said, "It may be easier to get in if you send it inside." After all, there are too many people transporting ammunition. Even if the Vietnamese army inspected, it could not be checked. ”
This is conceivable. The transit station also means that its ammunition comes from all directions, which means that the people who transport the ammunition also come from all directions.
"But ......," Chen Qiaoqiao continued, "the Vietnamese army also uses the method of transit, that is, only the staff of the ammunition depot can directly contact the ammunition. ”
"That is, they have two transit points, one in and one out?"
"Yes!"
"Even in a busy situation?"
"Yes!" Chen Qiaoqiao nodded: "Sometimes when they are busy, they even dispatch between transfer stations, which means that the ammunition may not pass through the arsenal, but directly from one transit point to another." ”
"Hmm!" I couldn't help but nod.
"Battalion commander!" The instructor said, "Why don't you ...... Let's just blow up a transit point, and that's about it. With Lao Cai as a transportation hub, I see that there will be no shortage of ammunition at the transit point! ”
"No!" Chen Qiaoqiao shook his head and said: "There is not much ammunition in the backlog at the transit point, because when a truckload of ammunition is transported into the transit point, it is often just a simple routine inspection of the vehicle, and then the ammunition is transported into the ammunition depot by another driver, so the bombing transfer point is not of much value." ”
"How is this routine check?" I asked.
"Check the text, password, and ammunition type and so on!"
"They don't open boxes and check them!" I say.
"Of course!" Chen Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "If every box is opened and checked, doesn't every car's ammunition have to be poured out and turned over?" In doing so, the transit point is about to fill up! ”
"That's good!" I nodded.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand what was so good.
"That's right!" Looking at the puzzled faces of the cadres around me, I said, "If we had a way to put a bomb in the ammunition box in one of the cars......"
"Oh!" When they heard this, they understood.
It's obvious. The destination of these munitions was an arsenal, and the Vietnamese army could not open and inspect the boxes one by one. Other words. As long as we can put a time bomb or a remote-activated bomb, then the Vietnamese army will help us transport the bomb to the arsenal.
"This ...... It's too easy, isn't it? Staff Officer Wei said in disbelief: "If this can be done, we can almost say that we don't need a single soldier." ”
I know what Staff Officer Wei meant, such as loading time bombs, and by the time the arsenal exploded, the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade had even gone away.
"It looks simple, but it's not simple!" I said: "First of all, we can intercept an ammunition truck transporting munitions without knowing it, you must know that the ammunition trucks of the more devils are generally transported in a team, not to mention whether we can intercept an ammunition truck without alarming them in this situation, after the lack of an ammunition truck will also arouse the suspicion of the convoy, and then they are likely to focus on this ammunition truck." ”
My words were quickly confirmed by Chen Qiaoqiao.
"Secondly." I said, "Even if we can intercept such an ammunition truck, it is still a big question whether we can get the password." ”
As I said before, the Vietnamese army is very tight-lipped about passwords, and it is difficult for us to get anything out of their mouths. And without the correct password, the ammunition truck will be stopped at the transit point and will not be able to enter the ammunition depot at all.
"The lone ammunition truck is easy to solve!" Staff Officer Wei said: "There will always be a few broken cars on the road, as long as the reconnaissance team waits patiently on the side of the road, there will always be a chance." ”
"I don't think it's a good idea to passively wait for the Vietnamese army car to break down!" I said, "We can give them something to do, like a few nails in the ground......"
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Staff Officer Wei couldn't help but nodded.
"As for the password." I turned my gaze to Xu Liangbin: "Then it depends on your ability." ”
"The battalion commander means to force a confession?" Xu Liangbin replied with some embarrassment: "Battalion commander, you also know that the devils have a tight mouth, and as long as they casually say a fake password, how can we tell if it's true or false?!" ”
What Xu Liangbin said is indeed the truth, until the war has been fought so far, both the enemy and us will know to use fake passwords, and even prepared a unified fake password before the war in order to be able to collude...... This is to prevent the enemy from extorting confessions from two people separately, and if the passwords obtained are inconsistent, it means that the passwords are fake.
But that's not what I mean.
"It's not a forced confession!" I said, "It is too difficult and dangerous to extract a password to extract a confession. I mean let you use your brains and think about how to get the password from the Yue devil. Have you learned Vietnamese in vain these months? ”
"Battalion commander!" Xu Liangbin couldn't help but replied in embarrassment: "Even if you know Vietnamese, you may not be able to get it!" ”
"If you can't get it, you can't do it if you don't do it?!" I replied angrily.
"Oh!" As soon as I said this, Xu Liangbin understood.
To put it simply, this can also be said to be a stroke of luck...... What Xu Liangbin and others have to do is to be active near the Vietnamese army's highway for a long time, puncture the tires of a car today, and set the password, if they get the password, then implement the next step, if they can't get the password, they will be regarded as an obligation to help the Vietnamese army repair the car, and do nothing and wait for the next opportunity.
As you can imagine, the biggest problem is whether the fighters of the reconnaissance brigade can blend in with the Vietnamese army for a long time without being detected by the Vietnamese army.
As for whether you can get the password from the Vietnamese army, I believe that after a long time, you will always meet a few stupid Vietnamese drivers.
Later, I learned that things were not as complicated as I thought, and Xu Liangbin and other members of the reconnaissance brigade thought of a more practical method......
Actually, this is not surprising, you must know that I and the cadres around me are not in that battlefield on the one hand, so it is difficult to come up with a simpler and practical way. On the other hand, the soldiers of the reconnaissance brigade may be detected by the Vietnamese army at any time, and once they are detected by the Vietnamese army, it can almost be said that there is almost no possibility of survival.
It is precisely because of this strong pressure that the soldiers are racking their brains to think about how to complete the task better and faster.
The result really made them think about it.
Of course, at this time, the reconnaissance brigade still infiltrated the Vietnamese defense line and went deep into the border according to the plan we had formulated, and they disguised themselves as Vietnamese sappers and maintained the road with hoes and shovels on the road leading to Lao Cai...... As mentioned before, the roads in Vietnam are in poor condition and must be maintained by a large number of sappers at all times.
In fact, this is not only the case for the Vietnamese army, but also for our army's roads.
This is mainly caused by three aspects: First, the climate is harsh, and there will be collapses at any time when the rainy season comes. Second, there is a large flow of vehicles, and they are all cars loaded with ammunition and supplies. Third, during the war, from time to time, artillery shells would cause severe damage to the highways.
Therefore, on the road leading to the front line of our army, you can often see groups of maintenance personnel carrying hoes and shovels on their backs, but the difference is that most of our army's maintenance personnel are militiamen, while the Vietnamese army is often done by engineers...... There are more people in our country who work hard, and the more devils have, the less good luck they have.
Obviously, disguised as these maintenance personnel has many advantages for the fighters of the reconnaissance brigade, such as the ability to observe passing Vietnamese vehicles at any time and look for opportunities to strike. Another example is that you can make yourself dirty and can't see the original appearance.
So there was no need to think about it, Xu Liangbin took two squads of soldiers to get the necessary equipment and food and set off that night.
After easily infiltrating the Vietnamese line and reaching the designated position, the first thing they did was to hide the food...... The Yue Devils don't have as much food as the soldiers, and the food the soldiers bring is compressed biscuits and canned food, which are all luxuries for the Yue Devils, and the personnel who maintain the road should not be equipped with these things.
It should be said that the soldiers did a very successful job, and two days ago they successfully mingled with some maintenance personnel of the Vietnamese army, and attacked the car twice in the dark of night.
However, it is a pity that the vigilance of the Vietnamese military drivers is quite high, and Xu Liangbin and others not only did not get the password, but they were almost exposed because of the suspicion of the Vietnamese driver. (To be continued......)
