blood of vietnam war

Chapter 110

We called this operation "Strengthening the Wall and Clearing the Field", and it is needless to say what that means.

But it doesn't matter what it means, what matters is what kind of action we take.

The village is still closed, on the one hand to prevent the Vietnamese army agents hiding in the jungle from getting food supplies, on the other hand, to prevent the hungry Vietnamese army agents from going down the mountain to find food.

For the jungle outside of the village... just like we did with the village before, the jungle is similarly tiled.

The task assigned to our company is to conduct a search along the direction of Nading, Luke, and Langle.In three directions, each of our three platoons will advance along a route that is not far from each other, searching and advancing on the rugged and winding mountain roads, and the company headquarters will follow behind to keep in touch with us and other companies in due course.

The second row naturally lined up in Luke's direction in order.

My arrangement was to put the second shift on the left side of the mountain road and the third shift on the right side, and I would lead the first shift along the mountain road.Each part is separated from each other within the visible range and communicates by walkie-talkie.

There are two purposes for this. One is to disperse the troops so that it is difficult for the Vietnamese army to set up an ambush. Just imagine if we pile up all the soldiers in the middle and advance along the mountain road, then the Vietnamese devils only need a dozen people to ambush by the roadside and then come. Beheading and censoring the middle... Under the fire of automatic rifles, our entire army was wiped out in less than 10 minutes.

But in this way divided into three parts to advance, the Vietnamese army could not effectively ambush.At least, if they want to ambush us, they need twice as many people as us to form a larger encirclement.

Another reason is because the purpose of our march is to search.

What are you searching for?

The search was for Vietnamese army agents hiding in the jungle. Since it was searching for Vietnamese army agents, it was impossible to search only on the mountain road, right?And this is only the first step.

Why is it only necessary to put the first group in the middle and advance along the mountain road?

The reason is very simple, Chen Yiyi and the scholar both fought on the battlefield, and they all know what to do in case of any emergency, but Wu Zhijun is obviously far behind in this regard.

The task of advancing along the mountain road is obviously relatively easy. In order not to drag the teams on both sides to the back, I even arranged for two soldiers to use mine detectors to advance while detecting mines...

"Platoon leader!" Seeing my arrangement, Wu Zhijun had some opinions. He hesitated and said, "We...are we going a little too slowly? When will we get to Luke Village?"

I raised my binoculars to look left and right, and asked casually, "Are you searching? Or are you going to Luke Village?"

When I said that about Wu Zhijun, I was speechless.

At this time, the soldier who was walking ahead with a mine detector suddenly stopped in his tracks, then turned around and said with a strange expression: "Platoon...platoon leader, there are mines!"

"Stand back!" This was the first order I gave, and then I called out to the walkie-talkie: "Squad [-], Squad [-], report the situation!"

"everything is normal!"

"Everything is normal!" Chen Yiyi replied: "But I found traces of the enemy lurking, the time was about 10 minutes, and there were seven people..."

"Yeah!" I ordered, "Go ahead and stay vigilant!"

At this time, I had to admire Chen Yiyi's ability again, she could tell even if the enemy had just walked away for 10 minutes.

"Platoon leader, what should we do?" Wu Zhijun then asked, "We didn't bring engineers...we don't know how to clear mines!"

I took a look at Wu Zhijun, and casually ignited a grenade and threw it at the location where the landmine was found... With a bang, when we got up from the ground, the landmine was no longer a problem.

"Keep going!"

I can't believe that Wu Zhijun was a company commander in the original army. Maybe they haven't come out of the peaceful world, or this is the difference between soldiers who have fought and soldiers who have not fought. In short, they don't know how to use simple and direct methods. method to solve the problem.

But it's not just this mine that worries me.Because I know very well that mines can be ignored after they are buried.

But... why does Yue Guizi still lurk by the roadside?And there are as many as seven people... It should be said that there are not only seven people, I think there are also lurking in the direction of the scholars, but the scholars have not discovered it.

So... There are also people lurking on the left, and there are people lurking on the right, plus there is a landmine in the middle of the mountain road... What does this mean?

Needless to say, this was originally an ambush circle. The Yue Guizi originally had an army of more than ten people ambushing on both sides of the mountain road, just waiting for us to step on the landmine and attack from both sides...

Some people may say, there are only a dozen or so Yue Guizi, how dare they ambush a platoon of our army?

The battlefield is not a simple addition and subtraction, the battlefield pays more attention to tactics and firepower configuration, especially in this era of rampant automatic rifles... On this battlefield, a company of the People's Liberation Army was killed by five soldiers because of a blind charge. Casualties were high under the automatic rifles of the Vietnamese militia.

Therefore, as long as the two sides of the Vietnamese army cooperate well with each other and the timing is well grasped... With a dozen people, the battle can be won with an asymmetric casualty ratio.

Why did they retreat?Because they discovered that we were going in three directions... Ever since, their ambush lost its effect in an instant.

Will they just give up?I believe not.

what is the reason?

This is a feeling. I feel that the Vietnamese army did not take our army seriously. They would think that we were walking in a column along the mountain road and set up an ambush for it... This is why they underestimated us. evidence.

What will they do?

Call more people?This situation seems impossible. More people means more food consumption, which is a bit unimaginable for them who lack food.Moreover, it is very likely that the target will be exposed because the target is too large, which is contrary to the purpose of guerrilla warfare.

Then...they may launch another ambush targeting the left or right flank of our army. Although they can't wipe us out, they can retreat quickly after a small victory...

Thinking of this, I immediately ordered on the walkie-talkie: "Squad [-] runs forward, and Squad [-] and Squad [-] follow! All units are ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

The atmosphere was tense the moment I ordered.

Maybe Wu Zhijun didn't understand at all. Just now I rejected his suggestion to speed up, and now I immediately ordered the troops to speed up and prepare for battle... But at this time, I am not in a hurry to explain anything to him, and of course I don't need it. Explain, what he needs more is to watch and learn.

Why speed it up?If Yue Guizi is setting up an ambush position not far ahead, and also miscalculated the marching speed of our army, what will happen after speeding up?

That's right, catch them off guard before they're set up.

So being prepared and not being prepared is only a relative term. Yue Guizi thought he was a praying mantis catching cicadas, but who would have thought that the mantis would transform into a squirrel immediately... immediately.

Sure enough, just when we turned two turns and passed a mountain depression, we saw a group of Vietnamese troops hurriedly crossing the mountain road from right to left in front of us. They might want to merge the two roads into one I ambushed the left wing of our army all the way, but I didn't expect that we would suddenly appear in front of them, so I panicked and turned around to organize the defense...

However, at this time, I would not give them a chance, I just shouted: "Fight!"

The soldiers had already made preparations under my order. At this time, no one dared to be negligent when I received my order. Several submachine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets poured towards the Vietnamese army like raindrops. There was almost no cover lined up in front of them, and the distance between them was only a dozen meters, so after only one round of bullets, they lay on the ground disoriented.

My attention was not on the part of the Vietnamese army in front of me, because I knew that they were only a part of the Vietnamese army, and at the same time I believed that these soldiers under me could deal with them.

I lay down on a rock and raised my rifle to observe the jungle on the left through the sniper scope... Obviously, these Vietnamese troops walked from right to left, which meant that their friendly troops were on the left.

No one could be seen, the light in the jungle was much darker than outside, and there were trees everywhere, which made it difficult for me to spot the Vietnamese soldiers hiding inside.

It should be said that it is not suitable to use sniper rifles on such terrain. The staggered trees in the jungle will make the long-range advantages of sniper rifles useless, and the sniper scope will also be useless due to the occlusion of trees.

However... I'm not worried about this, because the Vietnamese soldiers are few and I have more soldiers. It seems that I just need to lock them in and wait for the second squad led by Chen Yiyi to appear.

"Second Squad Attention!" I yelled into the walkie-talkie: "The enemy is about 100 meters directly in front of you, approaching behind the enemy's side!"

"Yes!"

"Attention the third squad! The enemy is on the left side of the mountain road, outflanking their rear!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, I raised the sniper rifle again and waited. I wanted to see how long they could endure.

When the footsteps of Chen Yiyi and others stepping on dead branches appeared in the jungle, the Vietnamese soldiers finally couldn't bear it...

With a sound of "bang!", a Vietnamese soldier was shot down by me before he poked his head out of the dead leaves.

In fact, I have noticed the pile of dead leaves a long time ago. It is not naturally flat like other places, but slightly protruding in an irregular shape... I have not shot all the time, just because I can't determine his position.However, he only needs to move slightly... the pile of dead leaves will have a chain reaction like a domino, so I pulled the trigger without hesitation.

At this time, the Vietnamese army realized that they were facing a very serious problem: if they did not move, they would wait to be surrounded by our army; if they moved, they would risk being killed by snipers. (To be continued.)
