The training plan for the special agent company was finalized, but when it came time to implement it, it encountered difficulties.

The main difficulty is that we do not know much about the situation of the Vietnamese army, such as where the command center of the Vietnamese army is, where the ammunition depot is located, what the supply line is, and what the supply pattern is...... We can say that we know nothing about this.

The same is true of special operations, and sometimes the mastery of enemy intelligence is more important than combat effectiveness...... Because only by understanding these can we determine the target and formulate a targeted operation, otherwise infiltrating the Vietnamese defense line can only be like a fly without a head.

For this reason, I also went to find Deputy Division Commander Wang......

"Deputy Divisional Commander!" When I saw Deputy Division Commander Wang, I said straight to the point: "That's the case, now the Vietnamese army special team has just been defeated by our army, and I think they won't recover so quickly for a while, so I think it...... This is the time for us to fight back, and I want to know more information! ”

"Didn't I send you all the information?" Deputy Division Commander Wang asked a little strangely.

"Hmm!" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this: "You mean...... The only information that the Ninth Division has is the one you sent? ”

Deputy Division Commander Wang did have some information sent by him before, but most of the information that was the number of the first-line Vietnamese troops on the high ground and the terrain, altitude and firepower configuration of the high ground may be useful to ordinary troops, but it is of little use to our special agent company.

"What does Battalion Commander Yang mean......" Deputy Division Commander Wang was also a little inexplicable when I asked him: "Battalion Commander Yang, what kind of information do you want?" As long as we master it, we will definitely not hold back on you! ”

"Just like the Vietnamese army agents have mastered!" I said, "Let's put it this way...... For example, if the Vietnamese army attacked our army's division headquarters a few days ago, then they must know the location of our army's division headquarters in advance. and the terrain, facilities, and firepower of the division headquarters. There was even a time when reinforcements from nearby arrived...... That's all you know. Only the Vietnamese army agents can organize an attack, and it is possible to retreat quickly with one hit, and the same is true for us! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Deputy Division Commander Wang couldn't help frowning: "I understand, what you want is detailed information on some important military targets in the territory of the Vietnamese army!" ”

"Yes!" I nodded.

"But it's hard to get this information!" Deputy Division Commander Wang shook his head and said, "We are different from the Yue devils...... We have a large number of troops, and the management of our troops is relatively lax, as you know...... Although we have carried out a strict investigation and registration of the troops, it is inevitable that the Vietnamese devils will be mixed into the troops! ”

I do know this very well, and I should say that it is much better now. After the reorganization of the troops, such as the Ninth Frontier Division, the vast majority of the soldiers were incorporated into the troops after verification that they were indeed Chinese, and this greatly reduced the chances of the Vietnamese army blending into our troops...... During the counterattack, as long as you sign up and speak Chinese, you can join the combat unit casually.

But, despite this...... Our army still has a huge militia unit, and these militia units are responsible for our army's logistics, and one batch will be replaced tomorrow with another group, and there are even many civilians who have volunteered to join these transport units...... This ingredient became complicated, and it also gave the Vietnamese army agents a place to live.

"So ......," continued Deputy Division Commander Wang, "it is actually very easy for the Vietnamese army to grasp the intelligence of our army. Even we doubt...... Many of the people living on the border are disguised by Vietnamese agents, so that our important military facilities are transparent to Vietnamese agents. So the Vietnamese army agents can fight wherever they want! Today it is an arsenal, tomorrow it is a radar station, and the day after tomorrow it is an observation post...... But what about us! ”

Speaking of this, Deputy Division Commander Wang couldn't help but shake his head: "We don't have much preparation at this point...... Although there are some agents, there are very few of them, and the Vietnamese army drove all the overseas Chinese back to China last year, which makes it difficult for us to learn important information about the Vietnamese army! ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel helpless, and then I realized that the gap between us and the Vietnamese army agents was not only in quality, but also in the beginning of the intelligence level.

"If we want to get this information, there are actually ways to ......" Deputy Division Commander Wang continued: "This method is to capture prisoners, interrogate Vietnamese prisoners after they are captured, and then get some information from them, our scouts often do this kind of thing, but ......"

Deputy Division Commander Wang changed his words, sighed again and said: "The Vietnamese army is much more tenacious than we imagined, and it is difficult to capture prisoners in the first place, because they have to be captured alive, and they still have to be captured alive within the scope of the Vietnamese army's firepower...... If one is not good, not only will they not be able to catch and capture, but their scouts will also pay heavy casualties; The second is that the Vietnamese army's intelligence management is very strict, and ordinary Vietnamese soldiers do not know where important military facilities are. Again...... The Vietnamese prisoners were hard-mouthed, and even if they knew, it was difficult to dig out something of value from their mouths, or just talk nonsense. So ......"

So I don't need to say much later...... That is, the result of our ignorance of the intelligence of the Vietnamese army now!

After I went back, I told Zhao Jingping, the staff officers, who were dumbfounded...... If you don't know what kind of information this is, how can you fight? It is impossible for the soldiers of the secret service company to sneak into the territory of the Vietnamese army to get information...... Even if we are willing to do this, it is not suitable, because the Vietnamese people are women and children except for the elderly, and the vast majority of young and strong men are soldiers, so if we put on the makeup of ordinary people and enter Vietnam...... Guaranteed to be suspicious at the first time.

However, this problem was quickly solved by Scar......

"Battalion commander!" Scar said: "It's not that you can't get information, it's that the way you get information is wrong......

"Well, let's talk about it!" I thought to myself, how could I forget Scar, a person who was familiar with the Vietnamese army.

"That's right......," Scar said, "The Vietnamese army is indeed very strict in the management of the army, just like the deputy division commander said...... The captured captives either didn't know anything, or they couldn't dig up any information. The more devils are fine, the requirements for ordinary soldiers are to only fight, and they don't need to know anything else. And those who can grasp valuable information are all officers whose political ideas have been tested, so this is the case. But there are some soldiers who are different......"

"What soldier?" Zhao Jingping couldn't help but ask.

"Gong'an Tun!" Scar said: "The soldiers in the Vietnamese public security cantonment are similar to our militia...... However, although they are militia, they often have more information than Vietnamese soldiers, and the Vietnamese regular army...... That's because intelligence information has been controlled, and most of the soldiers in the public security tun were born and raised in this area of the border, and they all know which place is blocked and not allowed to enter, and when a place is used as an ammunition depot! It is precisely because the soldiers in the public security tun are all locals, so most of them have young parents and have a lot to worry about...... Naturally, they are afraid of death, and more importantly, a considerable number of them still have a vague idea of the country......"

"Vague about the country?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?" ”

"That's right!" Scar explained: "In the past, our Sino-Vietnamese border was not like it is now, just a few years ago it was still a 'comrade and brother' relationship, so intermarriage on the Sino-Vietnamese border was very frequent, Vietnamese women married, Chinese women married, and sometimes hired sons-in-law...... These people who come and go are a little related to each other far or near, and sometimes they don't know whether they are Chinese or Vietnamese! So I thought...... It's much easier to do their thought work! ”

"Oh!" When I heard this, I couldn't help but suddenly realize, why is it so painful to secretly say Vietnam? Originally, it had a good relationship with China, but it was necessary to engage in such a thing, isn't it asking for hardship!

"Battalion commander!" Zhao Jingping interjected on the side: "What the second company commander said may be right, but ...... The combat effectiveness of the public security cantonment is relatively weak, and the Vietnamese army generally puts them on the second line or is responsible for law and order...... It's about taking prisoners......"

I understand what Zhao Jingping means, if it is to capture the Vietnamese prisoners, it will be relatively simple, after all, the front line is full of Vietnamese soldiers, as long as you sneak up and then press down a few sentries to carry them back, you can complete the task...... Of course, it's not as easy as it sounds. However, it is even more difficult to capture the prisoners of Gong'an Tun, which does not mean that they are strong in combat, but to pass through the Vietnamese army's defense line, and then bring back a few large living people through the Vietnamese army's defense line.

"There are difficulties!" I said, "But...... If it weren't difficult, we wouldn't need to do it! ”

With that, I turned my eyes to Scar and asked, "How's it going?" Is there confidence? ”

"Yes!" Scar stepped forward and replied.

"Good!" I said, "The first step of training is to train prisoners......

After looking at the map, I continued: "The Vietnamese army has a total of thirteen public security cantons in the direction of Nanning, in order to be able to dig up useful information, and at the same time to avoid suspicion of the Vietnamese army, we should divide into several units and pick a few of these thirteen public security cantonments!" ”

"Then this coordination aspect...... Zhao Jingping is talking about our coordination with the front-line troops, because the front-line corresponding to these thirteen public security cantonments is not all the stations of the Ninth Frontier Division.

"I'll take care of the synergy aspect!" I said, "You guys are responsible for setting up the battle!" ”

"Yes!" Scar and Zhao Jingping responded.

So the plan was settled, and I have to admit that it was a surprise to me...... Because I never thought that the Agent Company would also be on a prisoner hunting mission. (To be continued......)
